                              PART I

ITEM 1.  DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.

GENERAL

     Exchange National Bancshares, Inc. ("Bancshares" or the
"Company") is a bank holding company registered under the Bank
Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the "BHC Act"). 
Although Bancshares was incorporated under the laws of the State
of Missouri on October 23, 1992, it did not engage in any
business activity until April 7, 1993.  On that date, it acquired
all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of The Exchange
National Bank of Jefferson City, a national banking association
(the "Bank") pursuant to a corporate reorganization involving an
exchange of shares.  The Company's activities currently are
limited to ownership of the outstanding capital stock of the
Bank.  Except as otherwise provided herein, references herein to
"Bancshares" or the "Company" include Bancshares and its consol-
idated subsidiary.

     The Company's principal executive offices are located at 132
East High Street, Jefferson City, Missouri 65101, and its
telephone number is (573) 761-6100.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

     BANCSHARES.  Bancshares is a bank holding company registered
under the Holding Company Act.  The Company's activities
currently are limited to ownership of the outstanding capital
stock of the Bank.  In addition to ownership of the Bank,
Bancshares could seek expansion through acquisition and may
engage in those activities (such as investments in banks or
operations closely related to banking) in which it is permitted
to engage under applicable law.  It is not currently anticipated
that Bancshares will engage in any business other than that
directly related to its ownership of the Bank or other financial
institutions.

     THE BANK.  The Bank, located in Jefferson City, Missouri,
was founded in 1865.  The Bank is the oldest bank in Cole County,
and became a national bank in 1927.  The Bank has four banking
offices; its principal office at 132 East High Street in
Jefferson City's central business district, a facility at 217
West Dunklin near the city's south side business district, a
facility at 3701 West Truman Boulevard adjacent to the Capitol
Mall Shopping Center, and a facility at 800 Eastland Drive near
the city's east side business district.  See "Item 2. 
Description of Property".

     The Bank is a full service bank conducting a general banking
and trust business, offering its customers checking and savings
accounts, debit cards, certificates of deposit, trust services,
safety deposit boxes and a wide range of lending services,
including credit card accounts, commercial and industrial loans,
single payment personal loans, installment loans and commercial
and residential real estate loans.

     The Bank's deposit accounts are insured by the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC") to the extent provided
by law, and it is a member of the Federal Reserve System.  The
Bank's operations are supervised and regulated by the Office of
the Comptroller of the <PAGE> Currency (the "OCC"), the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "Federal Reserve
Board") and the FDIC.  A periodic examination of the Bank is
conducted by representatives of the OCC.  Such regulations,
supervision and examinations are principally for the benefit of
depositors, rather than for the benefit of the holders of the
Bank's common stock.  See "Regulation Applicable to Bancshares"
and "Regulation Applicable to the Bank".

EMPLOYEES

     As of December 31, 1996, Bancshares and the Bank had
approximately 98 full-time and 19 part-time employees.  None of
its employees is presently represented by any union or collective
bargaining group, and the Company considers its employee
relations to be satisfactory.

COMPETITION

     The Bank experiences substantial competition for deposits
and loans within both its primary service area of Jefferson City
and its secondary service area of the nearby communities in Cole
County.  The Bank's competitors include other commercial banks,
savings and loan associations, savings banks, credit unions and
money market mutual funds.  Savings and loan associations and
credit unions now have the authority to offer checking accounts
and to make corporate and agricultural loans and were granted
expanded investment authority by recent federal regulations.  As
a result, these thrift institutions are expected to continue to
offer increased competition to commercial banks in the future. 
In addition, large national and multinational corporations have
in recent years become increasingly visible in offering a broad
range of financial services to all types of commercial and
consumer customers.

     The Bank's principal competition for deposits and loans
comes from four other banks within its primary service area of
Jefferson City and, to an increasing extent, six other banks in
nearby communities.  Based on publicly available information,
management believes that the Bank is the second largest (in terms
of deposits) of the banks within Cole County, behind only Central
Trust Bank.  The main competition for the Bank's trust services
is from other commercial banks, and in particular Central Trust
Bank.  

REGULATION APPLICABLE TO BANCSHARES        

     GENERAL.  Bancshares is a registered bank holding company
within the meaning of the BHC Act, subject to the supervision of
the Federal Reserve Board.  Bancshares is required to file with
the Federal Reserve Board an annual report and such other
additional information as the Federal Reserve Board may require
pursuant to the BHC Act.  Also, the Federal Reserve Board
periodically examines Bancshares.  The Federal Reserve Board has
authority to issue cease and desist orders against bank holding
companies if it determines that their actions represent unsafe
and unsound practices or violations of law.  In addition, the
Federal Reserve Board is empowered to impose substantial civil
money penalties for violations of certain banking statutes and
regulations.  Regulation by the Federal Reserve Board is intended
to protect depositors of the Bank, not shareholders of
Bancshares.
<PAGE>
     SOURCE OF STRENGTH.  Federal Reserve Board policy requires a
bank holding company to serve as a source of financial and
managerial strength to its subsidiary banks.  Under this policy,
a bank holding company is expected to stand ready to use its
available resources to provide adequate capital funds to its
subsidiary banks during periods of financial stress or adversity,
and to maintain resources and the capacity to raise capital which
it can commit to its subsidiary banks.  It is the Federal Reserve
Board's position that the failure of a bank holding company to
serve as a source of strength to a distressed subsidiary bank is
an unsafe and unsound banking practice.  This has become known as
the "source of strength doctrine."  It is not clear whether the
source of strength doctrine is legally enforceable by the Federal
Reserve Board.

     LIMITATION ON ACQUISITIONS.  The BHC Act requires every bank
holding company to obtain the prior approval of the Federal
Reserve Board before (i) taking any action that causes a bank to
become a controlled subsidiary of the bank holding company, (ii)
acquiring direct or indirect ownership or control of voting
shares of any bank or bank holding company, if the acquisition
results in the acquiring bank holding company having control of
more than 5% of the outstanding shares of any class of voting
securities of such bank or holding company and such bank or bank
holding company is not majority-owned by the acquiring bank
holding company prior to the acquisition, (iii) the acquisition
by a bank holding company or any nonbank subsidiary thereof of
all or substantially all of the assets of a bank, or (iv) a
merger or consolidation with another bank holding company. 

     In determining whether to approve a proposed acquisition,
merger or consolidation, the Federal Reserve Board is required to
take into account the competitive effects of the proposed
acquisition, the convenience and needs of the community to be
served, and the financial and managerial resources and future
prospects of the bank holding companies and banks concerned.  If
a proposed acquisition, merger or consolidation might have the
effect in any section of the United States to substantially
lessen competition or to tend to create a monopoly, or if such
proposed acquisition, merger, or consolidation otherwise would be
in restraint of trade, then the Federal Reserve Board may not
approve it unless it finds that the anticompetitive effects are
clearly outweighed in the public interest by the probable effect
of the proposed transaction in meeting the convenience and needs
of the community to be served.  Bancshares has no current plans
to acquire any interest in the voting stock or assets of any bank
or other financial institution, although such an acquisition may
be considered in the future.

     LIMITATION ON CERTAIN ACTIVITIES.  The BHC Act also
prohibits a bank holding company, with certain exceptions, from
engaging in, and from acquiring direct or indirect ownership or
control of the voting shares or assets of any company engaged in,
any activity other than banking or managing or controlling banks,
and any activity which the Federal Reserve Board determines to be
so closely related to banking, or managing or controlling banks,
as to be a proper incident thereto.  In acting on an application
to engage in such an activity, the Federal Reserve Board is
required to weigh the expected benefits to the public, such as
greater convenience, increased competition or gains in
efficiency, against the risks of possible adverse effects, such
as undue concentration of resources, decreased or unfair
competition, conflicts of interest, or unsound banking practices. 
This consideration includes an evaluation of the financial and
managerial <PAGE> resources of the applicant, including its
subsidiaries, and any company to be acquired, and the effect of
the proposed transaction on those resources.

     To date, the Federal Reserve Board, by regulation, has
determined that, subject to expressed limitations, certain
activities are permissible for bank holding companies and their
subsidiaries and may be engaged in upon notice to the Federal
Reserve Board without prior approval.  These permissible
activities include furnishing or providing services for the
internal operations of the bank holding company and its
subsidiaries, operating a safe deposit business, making and
servicing loans, operating an industrial bank, performing certain
trust company functions, acting as an investment or financial
advisor in certain capacities, leasing certain real or personal
property, making certain investments to promote community
development, providing certain data processing services,
performing certain insurance agency and underwriting functions,
owning, controlling and operating a savings association,
providing specified courier services, providing management
consulting advice to nonaffiliated banks and nonbank depository
institutions, selling certain money orders, United States savings
bonds and traveler's checks, performing appraisals of real and
personal property, arranging certain commercial real estate
equity financing, providing securities brokerage services,
underwriting and dealing in certain government obligations and
money market instruments, providing foreign exchange advisory and
transactional services, acting as a futures commission merchant,
providing investment advice on financial futures and options on
futures, providing consumer financial counseling, providing tax
planning and preparation services, providing certain check
guaranty services, operating a collection agency and operating a
credit bureau.

     The Federal Reserve Board also has determined that certain
other activities, including real estate brokerage and
syndication, land development, property management, management
consulting, underwriting of life insurance not sold in connection
with a credit transaction, and insurance premium funding, are
improper activities for bank holding companies and their
subsidiaries.  In the future the Federal Reserve Board may take
additional actions, adding and refusing to add particular
activities to the list of activities that the Federal Reserve
Board deems to be so closely related to banking or managing or
controlling banks as to be a proper incident thereto.  Certain
bank holding companies and their subsidiaries possess
"grandfather rights" giving them authority to engage in one or
more of the activities which are not generally permissible
because they were engaged in such activities prior to the
adoption of legislation restricting such activities.

     Under cross-guaranty provisions of the Federal Deposit
Insurance Act (the "FDIA"), bank subsidiaries of a bank holding
company are liable for any loss incurred (or reasonably
anticipated to be incurred) by the Bank Insurance Fund (the
"BIF"), the federal deposit insurance fund for banks, in
connection with the failure of any other bank subsidiary of the
bank holding company.  Liability under such cross-guaranty would
be junior to deposit liabilities and most secured obligations,
but senior to obligations to shareholders and most obligations to
affiliates.  The FDIC has authority to prospectively waive the
cross-guaranty provision.  Currently the Bank is the only
subsidiary of Bancshares.
<PAGE>
     A bank holding company and its subsidiaries are prohibited
from engaging in certain tie-in arrangements in connection with
the extension of credit or the lease or sale of any property or
the furnishing of services.  Subsidiary banks of a bank holding
company are also subject to certain restrictions imposed by the
Federal Reserve Act on any extensions of credit to the bank
holding company or any of its subsidiaries, or investment in the
stock or other securities thereof, and on the taking of such
stocks or securities as collateral for loans.  

     REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS.  The Federal Reserve Board
has promulgated "capital adequacy guidelines" for use in its
examination and supervision of bank holding companies.  A holding
company's ability to pay dividends and expand its business
through the acquisition of new banking subsidiaries can be
restricted if its capital falls below levels established by these
guidelines.  In addition, holding companies whose capital falls
below specified levels can be required to implement a plan to
increase capital.

      The Federal Reserve Board's capital adequacy guidelines
provide for the following types of capital:  Tier 1 capital (also
referred to as core capital), Tier 2 capital (also referred to as
supplementary capital), Tier 3 capital (consisting of short-term
subordinated debt that meets certain conditions and used only in
the measure of market risk, as discussed below) and Total
capital.  A bank holding company's Tier 1 capital generally
includes the following elements: common shareholders' equity,
qualifying noncumulative perpetual preferred stock and related
surplus, qualifying cumulative perpetual preferred stock and
related surplus (limited to a maximum of 25% of Tier 1 capital
elements) and minority interests in the equity accounts of
consolidated subsidiaries.  Goodwill is generally excluded from
Tier 1 capital.  Most intangible assets are also deducted from
Tier 1 capital.  A bank holding company's Tier 2 capital
generally includes allowances for loan and lease losses (limited
to 1.25% of risk-weighted assets), most perpetual preferred stock
and any related surplus (noncumulative and cumulative, without
percentage limits), certain hybrid capital instruments, perpetual
debt and mandatory convertible debt securities, and certain
intermediate-term preferred stock and intermediate-term
subordinated debt instruments (to a maximum of 50% of Tier 1
capital excluding goodwill, but phased-out as the instrument
matures).  The maximum amount of supplementary capital that
qualifies as Tier 2 capital is limited to 100% of Tier 1 capital
(net of goodwill).  For purposes of calculating the total
risk-based capital ratio, Total capital generally includes Tier 1
capital, plus qualifying Tier 2 capital, minus investments in
unconsolidated subsidiaries, reciprocal holdings of bank holding
company capital securities, certain deferred tax assets and other
deductions as determined by the Federal Reserve Board.

     The Federal Reserve Board issued a regulation which limits
the amount of intangible assets which may be included in Tier 1
capital.  Under the regulation, mortgage servicing rights
("MSRs") and purchased credit card relationships ("PCCRs") are
included in Tier 1 capital to the extent that, in the aggregate,
they do not exceed 50% of Tier 1 capital and, to the further
extent that PCCRs, individually, do not exceed 25% of Tier 1
capital.  MSRs and PCCRs in excess of these limits, as well as
core deposit intangibles ("CDI") and all other identified
intangible assets, must be deducted in determining Tier 1
capital.  As of December 31, 1996, Bancshares did not have MSRs,
PCCRs or CDIs and had $53,334 in other identified intangible
assets.
<PAGE>
     The Federal Reserve Board's capital adequacy guidelines
require a bank holding company to satisfy a Tier 1 Leverage
Ratio, a total risk-based capital ratio and a Tier 1 risk-based
capital ratio.  Under the Tier 1 Leverage Ratio capital
guideline, a bank holding company must have and maintain Tier 1
capital in an amount equal to at least 3.0% of its average total
consolidated assets.  In general, average total consolidated
assets means the quarterly average total assets (net of the
allowance for loan and lease losses) reported on a bank holding
company's Consolidated Financial Statements (FR Y-9C Report),
minus goodwill and any other intangible assets or investments in
subsidiaries which are deducted from Tier 1 capital.  The 3.0%
minimum Tier 1 Leverage Ratio is considered the absolute minimum
amount of Tier 1 capital which the most highly rated bank holding
companies (those rated composite 1 under the BOPEC rating system
for bank holding companies) is required to maintain. All other
bank holding companies must maintain a minimum Tier 1 Leverage
Ratio of 3.0% plus an additional cushion of at least 100 to 200
basis points.

     Under the Federal Reserve Board's capital adequacy
guidelines, a bank holding company must have and maintain a ratio
of Total capital to risk-weighted assets of 8.00%, and a ratio of
Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of 4%.  The amount of a
bank holding company's risk-weighted assets is determined by
multiplying the balance sheet amount of each of the bank holding
company's consolidated assets by a specified risk-weight factor
of 0%, 20%, 50% or 100%, in accordance with the relative risk
level of the asset.  In determining risk-weighted assets,
off-balance sheet items, such as standby letters of credit, are
converted to an on-balance sheet credit equivalent amount by
multiplying the face amount of the off-balance sheet item by a
credit conversion factor of 0%, 20%, 50% or 100%, in accordance
with the probability that the off-balance sheet item will become
a credit extended by the bank holding company.  In general,
intangible assets and other assets which are deducted in
determining Tier 1 capital and Total capital may also be excluded
from risk-weighted assets.

     The Federal Reserve Board has proposed to permit portions of
claims (including repurchase agreements) collateralized by cash
on deposit with the lending institution or by securities issued
or guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury, U.S. government agencies, or
the central governments in other OECD countries to be eligible
for a zero percent risk weight.  The effect of this proposal is
to allow banks and bank holding companies to hold less capital
for these types of collateralized transactions.

     On September 6, 1996, the Federal Reserve Board, amended its
credit risk-based capital standards to incorporate a measure for
market risk to cover all positions located in an institution's
trading account and foreign exchange and commodity positions
wherever located.  The new regulation applies to any bank or bank
holding company (i) whose trading activity equals 10% or more of
its total assets or (ii) whose trading activity equals $1 billion
or more.  By January 1, 1998, each of these institutions must use
its own internal value-at-risk model to measure its exposure to
market risk and hold capital in support of that exposure.  The
regulation does not mandate a standardized approach for measuring
general market risk.  However, the regulation retains the
standardized approach methodologies for determining capital
charges for specific risk, which an institution must use as its
basis for its specific risk charge for debt and equity positions
in its trading account.  The regulation supplements the existing
credit risk-based capital standards <PAGE> by requiring an affected
institution to adjust its risk-based capital ratio to reflect
market risk.  In measuring market risk, institutions may use Tier
3 capital to meet the market risk capital requirements.  Tier 3
capital is subordinated debt that is unsecured, fully paid up,
has an original maturity of at least 2 years, is not redeemable
before maturity without the prior approval of the institution's
supervisor, is subject to a lock-in clause that prevents the
issuer from repaying the debt even at maturity if the issuer's
capital ratio is, or with repayment, would become, less than the
minimum 8% risk-based capital ratio, and does not contain and is
not covered by any covenants, terms or restrictions that may be
inconsistent with safe and sound banking practices.

     On December 31, 1996, Bancshares was in compliance with all
of the Federal Reserve Board's capital guidelines.  On such date,
Bancshares had a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 14.45% (compared with a
minimum requirement of 3%), a ratio of total capital to
risk-weighted assets of 23.14% (compared with a minimum
requirement of 8%) and a ratio of Tier 1 capital to
risk-weighted assets of 21.89% (compared with a minimum
requirement of 4%).

     INTERSTATE BANKING AND BRANCHING.  Under the Riegle-Neal
Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994 (the
"Riegle-Neal Act"), bank holding companies are permitted to
acquire the stock or substantially all of the assets of banks
located in any state regardless of whether such transaction is
prohibited under the laws of any state.  The Federal Reserve
Board, however, may not approve an interstate acquisition if as a
result of the acquisition the bank holding company would control
more than 10% of the total amount of insured deposits in the
United States or would control more than 30% of the insured
deposits in the home state of the acquired bank.  The 30% of
insured deposits state limit does not apply if the acquisition is
the initial entry into a state by a bank holding company or if
the home state waives such limit.

     Under the Riegle-Neal Act, individual states may restrict
interstate acquisitions in two ways.  First, a state may prohibit
an out-of-state bank holding company from acquiring a bank
located in the state unless the target bank has been in existence
for a specified minimum period of time (not to exceed five
years).  Second, a state may establish limits on the total amount
of insured deposits within the state which are controlled by a
single bank holding company (a "deposit cap"), provided that such
deposit limit does not discriminate against out-of-state bank
holding companies.  Missouri prohibits bank holding companies
which did not have a subsidiary bank in Missouri on January 1,
1995 from acquiring any bank or bank holding company in Missouri
which is less than five years old. Missouri currently has a
statewide deposit cap of 13%.

     The Riegle-Neal Act now permits affiliated banks in
different states to act as agents for each other for purposes of
receiving deposits, renewing time deposits, closing loans,
servicing loans and receiving payments on loans and other
obligations.  A bank acting as an agent for an affiliated bank is
not considered a branch of the affiliated bank.

     Beginning on June 1, 1997, the Riegle-Neal Act authorizes
interstate branching by a merger of banks with different home
states which results in a single bank with branches in both
states.  The Riegle-Neal Act gives states the right to "opt out"
and prohibit interstate mergers by passing legislation before
June 1, 1997 that expressly prohibits all merger transactions
with <PAGE> out-of-state banks.  The Riegle-Neal Act also gives states
the right to "opt in" and authorize early interstate mergers by
passing legislation that expressly permits interstate merger
transactions with all out-of-state banks.  The Riegle-Neal Act
authorizes banks to establish and operate de novo branches in a
state (other than the bank's home state) only if the host state
"opts in" to authorize de novo interstate banking by passing
legislation that expressly permits all out-of-state banks to
establish de novo branches in the state. As of March 1, 1997,
approximately 44 states had acted on the Riegle-Neal Act.  Only
one state, Texas, has opted out.  Of the eight states contiguous
with Missouri's borders, Arkansas, Illinois, Iowa, Kentucky,
Oklahoma and Tennessee have opted in, and Kansas and Nebraska
have not acted.  As of March 1, 1997, Missouri had not acted,
however a bill had been introduced to the Missouri state
legislature to "opt out."  If no action is taken by the state
legislature by June 1, 1997, interstate branching by merger of
banks will be permitted in Missouri under the provisions of the
Riegle-Neal Act.

     In 1995, both Missouri and Kansas enacted legislation which
permits its state banks located within thirty (30) miles of the
state's border to relocate their charter to the neighboring
state.  The legislation requires reciprocal authority by the
"receiving" state.  As of March 1, 1997, of the eight states
contiguous with Missouri's borders, only Kansas has enacted such
a reciprocal statute.  As of March 1, 1997, three Kansas banks
have relocated their charters to Missouri and one Missouri bank
has relocated its charter to Kansas.  As both states permit
"statewide" branching, a bank with a branch in each of Missouri
and Kansas is permitted to establish, upon prior approval of the
respective state banking authority, a branch located anywhere in
each of the two states.  After June 1, 1997, this statute may no
longer be used to accomplish a de novo interstate bank in
Missouri.

     MISSOURI BHC REGULATION.  Under Missouri law, a bank holding
company is prohibited from acquiring control over a bank or trust
company which has its principal banking office in Missouri if
such acquisition would cause the aggregate deposits held by all
banks and trust companies in which such bank holding company has
an interest to exceed 13% of the total deposits of banking and
savings institutions in Missouri.  Further, an acquisition by a
bank holding company of control of a bank or trust company which
has its principal banking office in Missouri requires approval of
the Missouri Commissioner of Finance.  Neither such limitation
applies, however, in situations where the acquisition was
requested by the Missouri Commissioner of Finance, the FDIC or
the Federal Reserve Board in order to protect the public interest
against the failure or probable failure of a bank or trust
company.

REGULATION APPLICABLE TO THE BANK

     GENERAL.  As a national bank, the Bank is subject to
regulation and examination primarily by the OCC.  The Bank is
also regulated by the Federal Reserve Board and the FDIC. 
Regulation by these agencies is designed to protect depositors of
the Bank rather than shareholders of Bancshares.  The OCC has the
authority to issue cease and desist orders if it determines that
activities of the Bank represent unsafe and unsound banking
practices or violations of law.  In addition, the OCC is
empowered to impose substantial civil money penalties for
violations of banking statutes and regulations.
<PAGE>
     REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS.  The OCC has adopted
minimum capital requirements applicable to national banks which
are substantially similar to the capital adequacy guidelines
established by the Federal Reserve Board for bank holding
companies.  There are, however, technical differences in the
methodologies used to calculate the capital ratios.

     On December 31, 1996, the Bank was in compliance with all of
the OCC's minimum capital requirements.  On such date the Bank
had a Tier 1 Leverage Ratio of 14.42% (compared with a minimum
requirement of 3%), a ratio of Total capital to risk-weighted
assets of 23.01% (compared with a minimum requirement of 8%), and
a ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of 21.77%
(compared with a minimum requirement of 4%).  

     CLASSIFICATION OF BANKS.  Federal banking laws classify
financial institutions in one of the following five categories,
depending upon the amount of their capital: well-capitalized,
adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly
undercapitalized or critically undercapitalized.  Under OCC
regulations, a bank is deemed to be (i) "well capitalized" if it
has a total risk-based capital ratio of 10% or greater, a Tier 1
risk-based capital ratio of 6% or greater and a Tier 1 leverage
ratio of 5% or greater (and is not subject to any order or
written directive specifying any higher capital ratio), (ii)
"adequately capitalized" if it has a total risk-based capital
ratio of 8% or greater, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 4%
or greater and a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 4% or greater (or a
Tier 1 leverage ratio of 3% or greater, if the bank has a CAMEL
rating of 1), (iii) "undercapitalized" if it has a total
risk-based capital ratio that is less than 8%, a Tier 1
risk-based capital ratio that is less than 4% or a Tier 1
leverage ratio that is less than 4% (or a Tier 1 leverage ratio
that is less than 3%, if the bank has a CAMEL rating of 1), (iv)
"significantly undercapitalized" if it has a total risk-based
capital ratio that is less than 6%, a Tier 1 risk based capital
ratio that is less than 3% or a Tier 1 leverage ratio that is
less than 3%, and (v) "critically undercapitalized" if it has a
Tier 1 leverage ratio that is equal to or less than 2%.   Federal
banking laws require the federal regulatory agencies to take
prompt corrective action against undercapitalized financial
institutions.  Under OCC regulations, the Bank was a well
capitalized institution as of December 31, 1996. 

     Federal banking laws provide that if an insured depository
institution receives a less than satisfactory examination rating
for asset quality, management, earnings or liquidity, the
examining agency may deem such financial institution to be
engaging in an unsafe or unsound practice.  The potential
consequences of being found to have engaged in an unsafe or
unsound practice are significant, because the appropriate federal
regulatory agency may:  (i) if the financial institution is
well-capitalized, reclassify the financial institution as
adequately capitalized; (ii) if the financial institution is
adequately capitalized, take any of the prompt corrective actions
authorized for undercapitalized financial institutions and impose
restrictions on capital distributions and management fees; and
(iii) if the financial institution is undercapitalized, take any
of the prompt corrective actions authorized for significantly
undercapitalized financial institutions.

     DEPOSIT INSURANCE AND ASSESSMENTS.  The deposits of the Bank
are insured by the BIF administered by the FDIC, in general, to a
maximum of $100,000 per insured depositor.  Under federal banking
regulations, the Bank is required to pay annual assessments to
the FDIC for <PAGE> deposit insurance.  The FDIC has adopted a
risk-based assessment system.  Under the risk-based assessment
system, BIF members pay varying assessment rates depending upon
the level of the institution's capital and the degree of
supervisory concern over the institution.  The assessment rates
are set by the FDIC semiannually.  The FDIC's assessment rates
through June 30, 1997 range from zero (0) cents to 27 cents per
$100 of insured deposits and thereafter will range from 4 cents
to 31 cents per $100 of insured deposits.  Institutions
qualifying for the $0 assessment rate are no longer required to
pay the minimum deposit premium payment of $2,000 annually.  As
of January 1, 1997, the Bank's assessment rate was zero (0) cents
per $100 of insured deposits.  The FDIC has authority to increase
the annual assessment rate if it determines that a higher
assessment rate is necessary to increase BIF's reserve ratio. 
There is no cap on the annual assessment rate which the FDIC may
impose.

     In addition to any assessments that may be imposed by the
FDIC as described above, the Deposit Insurance Funds Act of 1996
provides for the imposition of annual assessments by the
Financing Corporation on Savings Association Insurance
Fund-assessable deposits and BIF-assessable deposits.  These
assessments are scheduled to remain in effect from January 1,
1997 through December 31, 1999.  As of January 1, 1997, the
annual assessment rate applicable to the Bank was approximately
1.296 basis points of its assessable deposits.

     INTEREST RATES.  The rate of interest a bank may charge on
certain classes of loans is limited by state and federal law.  At
certain times in the past, these limitations, in conjunction with
national monetary and fiscal policies that affect the interest
rates paid by banks on deposits and borrowings, have resulted in
reductions of net interest margins on certain classes of loans. 
Such circumstances may recur in the future, although the trend of
recent federal and state legislation has been to eliminate
restrictions on the rates of interest which may be charged on
some types of loans and to allow maximum rates on other types of
loans to be determined by market factors.

     LOANS TO ONE BORROWER.  In addition to limiting the rate of
interest chargeable by banks on certain loans, federal law
imposes additional restrictions on a national bank's lending
activities.  For example, under federal law the maximum amount
that a national bank may lend to one borrower (and certain
related entities of such borrower) generally is limited to 15% of
the bank's unimpaired capital and unimpaired surplus, plus an
additional 10% for loans fully secured by readily marketable
collateral.  There are certain exceptions to the general rule
including loans fully secured by government securities or deposit
accounts in the bank.  As of December 31, 1996, the Bank's
lending limit under this regulation was approximately $6,428,000,
and its current largest loan to one borrower (aggregate loans to
the borrower and its related entities) was approximately
$5,650,000.

     PAYMENT OF DIVIDENDS.  The National Bank Act restricts the
payment of dividends by a national bank as follows:  (i) no
dividends may be paid if the bank has no undivided profits or
retained earnings then on hand; (ii) until the surplus fund of
the bank is equal to its capital stock, no dividends may be
declared unless there has been carried to the surplus fund not
less than one-tenth of the bank's net profits of the preceding
half-year period in the case of quarterly or semiannual
dividends, or not less than one-tenth of the net profits of the
preceding two <PAGE> consecutive half-year periods in the case
of annual dividends; and (iii) the approval of the OCC is required
if dividends declared by the bank in any year would exceed the
total of net profits for that year combined with retained net
profits for the preceding two years, less any required transfers to
surplus.  These laws and related regulations are applicable to
the Bank, but are not expected to have a material effect upon the
Bank's current dividend policies.

     COMMUNITY REINVESTMENT ACT.  On May 4, 1995, the Federal
Reserve Board, the FDIC and the OCC adopted regulations relating
to the Community Reinvestment Act (the "CRA").  The purpose of
the CRA regulations is to establish the framework and criteria by
which the bank regulatory agencies assess an institution's record
of helping to meet the credit needs of its community, including
low- and moderate-income neighborhoods, and to provide that the
agencies' assessment shall be taken into account in reviewing
certain applications.  The regulations seek to emphasize an
institution's performance rather than the process, to promote
consistency in evaluation of institutions, and to eliminate
unnecessary reporting burdens.  The regulations replace the
previous twelve assessment factors for large banks with three
tests: (i) a lending test, (ii) a service test, and (iii) an
investment test.  While documentation requirements have been
substantially reduced, the safe harbors from CRA protest have
also been eliminated.

     OTHER REGULATORY LIMITATIONS.  Bancshares and the Bank are
"affiliates" within the meaning of the Federal Reserve Act.  As
such, the amount of loans or extensions of credit which the Bank
may make to Bancshares or to third parties, secured by securities
or obligations of Bancshares, are substantially limited by the
Federal Reserve Act and the FDIA.  Such acts further restrict the
range of permissible transactions between a bank and an
affiliated company.  A bank and its subsidiaries may engage in
certain transactions, including loans and purchases of assets,
with an affiliated company only if the terms and conditions of
the transaction, including credit standards, are substantially
the same as, or at least as favorable to the bank as, those
prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with
non-affiliated companies or, in the absence of comparable
transactions, on terms and conditions that would be offered to
non-affiliated companies.

     The Bank is also authorized to invest in a service
corporation that can offer the same services as the banking
related services that bank holding companies are authorized to
provide.  However, prior regulatory approval must generally be
obtained prior to making such an investment or the performance of
such services.

     BANKING ACTIVITIES.  The investments and activities of the
Bank are subject to substantial regulation by the OCC and the
FDIC, including without limitation investments in subsidiaries,
investments for their own account (including limitations on
investments in junk bonds and equity securities), investments in
loans, loans to officers, directors and affiliates, security
requirements, truth-in-lending, the types of interest bearing
deposit accounts which they can offer, trust department
operations, brokered deposits, audit requirements, issuance of
securities, branching and mergers and acquisitions.
<PAGE>
MONETARY POLICY AND ECONOMIC CONDITIONS

     The principal sources of funds essential to the business of
banks and bank holding companies are deposits, shareholders'
equity and borrowed funds.  The availability of these various
sources of funds and other potential sources such as preferred
stock or commercial paper, and the extent to which they are
utilized, depends on many factors, the most important of which
are the monetary policies of the Federal Reserve Board and the
relative costs of different types of funds.

     An important function of the Federal Reserve Board is to
regulate the national supply of bank credit in order to combat
recession and curb inflationary pressures.  Among the instruments
of monetary policy used by the Federal Reserve Board to implement
these objectives are open market operations in United States
government securities, changes in the discount rate on bank
borrowings and changes in reserve requirements against bank
deposits.

     The Bank is subject to regulations issued by the Federal
Reserve Board which require depository institutions to maintain
non-interest bearing reserves against their transaction accounts
and non-personal time deposits.  These regulations require
depository institutions to maintain reserves equal to 3% of
transaction accounts up to $49.3 million plus 10% (subject to
adjustment by the Federal Reserve Board between 8% and 14%) of
the total over $49.3 million.  In addition, reserves, subject to
adjustment by the Federal Reserve Board between 0% and 9%, must
be maintained on non-personal time deposits.  This reserve
percentage is currently 0%.  Depository institutions may
designate and exempt up to $4.4 million of reservable liabilities
from the above reserve requirements.  Because these reserves must
generally be maintained in cash or non-interest-bearing accounts,
the effect of the reserve requirements is to increase the cost of
funds to depository institutions.  As of December 31, 1996, the
Bank was required to maintain a reserve balance of $1.4 million.

     Substantially all of the restrictions on the maximum
interest rates banks are permitted to pay on deposits have been
removed, although banks are still prohibited from paying interest
on demand deposits.  Consequently, banks and thrift organizations
are substantially free to pay interest at any rate.  Deregulation
has increased competition among such institutions for attracting
deposits and has resulted in an overall increase in such
institutions' cost of funds.

     The monetary policies of the Federal Reserve Board have had
a significant effect on the operating results of commercial banks
in the past and are expected to continue to do so in the future. 
In view of the continuing changes in regulations affecting
commercial banks and other actions and proposed actions by the
Federal government and its monetary and fiscal authorities,
including proposed changes in the structure of banking in the
United States and general economic conditions, no prediction can
be made as to future changes in interest rates, credit
availability, deposit levels, loan demand or the overall
performance of banks generally and the Bank and Bancshares in
particular.

ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY.

     Bancshares neither owns nor leases any property.

     The principal offices of both Bancshares and the Bank are
located at 132 East High Street in the central business district
of Jefferson City, Missouri.  The building, which is owned by the
Bank, is a three-story structure constructed in 1927.  It has
approximately 14,000 square feet of usable office space, all of
which is currently used for the Bank's operations.  Although
management believes that the condition of this building presently
is minimally adequate for the Bank's business, management has
determined that it is necessary to expand this facility
significantly in order to better serve the Bank's customers.  It
is anticipated that the cost of this facilities expansion will
not exceed $4,000,000 and that work on this facilities expansion
will begin in April 1997 and continue into 1998.  Management
believes that this facility is adequately covered by insurance.

     The Bank also owns a branch banking facility at 3701 West
Truman Boulevard in Jefferson City.  This facility has
approximately 21,000 square feet of usable office space, all of
which is used for Bank operations, and has full drive-in
facilities.  The Bank also owns a second branch banking facility,
which is located at 217 West Dunklin Street in Jefferson City. 
This facility is a one-story building which has approximately
2,400 square feet of usable office space, all of which is used
for Bank operations.  In addition, the Bank has established a
branch banking facility at 800 Eastland Drive in Jefferson City. 
Management believes that the condition of these banking
facilities presently is adequate for the Bank's business and that
these facilities are adequately covered by insurance.

     The Bank invests in all types of real estate mortgages,
including mortgages on single family dwellings, multi-family
dwellings, office buildings, unimproved land and land development
loans.  The limits of the Bank's investment in real estate
mortgages is directed by guidelines contained in the Bank's loan
policy.  Changes in this policy do not require a vote of the
security holders.  The Bank's policy is to invest in real estate
mortgages primarily for income.  In regard to investment in real
estate mortgages, the Bank intends to originate and service real
estate mortgages but does not intend to warehouse those mortgages
for possible capital gains.  The turnover of the Bank's real
estate mortgage portfolio is greatly dependent upon interest rate
trends but generally turns at a moderate level.

ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

     Neither Bancshares nor the Bank is not involved in any
material pending legal proceedings, other than routine litigation
incidental to their business.

     EXCEPT FOR THE HISTORICAL INFORMATION CONTAINED HEREIN, THE
STATEMENTS MADE IN THIS REPORT ON FORM 10-KSB ARE FORWARD-LOOKING
STATEMENTS THAT INVOLVE RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES.  THE COMPANY'S
ACTUAL RESULTS, FINANCIAL CONDITION OR BUSINESS COULD DIFFER
MATERIALLY FROM ITS HISTORICAL RESULTS, FINANCIAL CONDITION OR
BUSINESS, OR THE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, FINANCIAL CONDITION OR
BUSINESS CONTEMPLATED BY SUCH FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS. 
FACTORS THAT COULD CAUSE OR CONTRIBUTE TO SUCH DIFFERENCES
INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO, THOSE DISCUSSED BELOW UNDER THE
CAPTION "FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS,
FINANCIAL CONDITION OR BUSINESS," AS WELL AS THOSE DISCUSSED
ELSEWHERE IN THE COMPANY'S REPORTS FILED WITH THE SECURITIES AND
EXCHANGE COMMISSION.

FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, FINANCIAL
CONDITION OR BUSINESS

     In order to take advantage of the safe harbor provisions for
forward-looking statements contained in Section 27A of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, added to those Acts
by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, the
Company is hereby identifying important risks and uncertainties
that could affect the Company's actual results of operations,
financial condition or business and that could cause the
Company's actual results of operations, financial condition or
business to differ materially from its historical results of
operations, financial condition or <PAGE> business, or the results of
operations, financial condition or business contemplated by
forward-looking statements made herein or elsewhere, orally or in
writing, by, or on behalf of, the Company.  Factors that could
cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not
limited to, those factors described below.

     ECONOMIC CONDITIONS IN THE COMPANY'S PRIMARY MARKET AREA. 
The profitability of the Company is dependant on the
profitability of its subsidiary, The Exchange National Bank of
Jefferson City, which is a national banking association operating
out of central Missouri.  The Bank's financial condition is
affected by fluctuations in the economic conditions prevailing in
that portion of Missouri in which the Bank's banking operations
are located.  Accordingly, the financial conditions of  both the
Bank and the Company would be adversely affected by deterioration
in the general economic and real estate climate in the State of
Missouri.  The Bank's business is also subject to fluctuations in
interest rates, national and local economic conditions, monetary
and regulatory policies and consumer and institutional confidence
in the Bank.  The fluctuations are neither predictable nor
controllable and may have materially adverse consequences upon
the operations and financial condition of the Bank and the
Company in the future even if other favorable events occur.

     IMPORTANCE OF NET INTEREST INCOME AND SUSCEPTIBILITY TO
CHANGES IN INTEREST RATES.  The primary source of earnings for
the Bank and the Company is net interest income, which is the
difference between interest and fees earned on loans and other
interest-earning assets, and the interest paid on deposits and
other interest-bearing liabilities.  There may be a difference
between the amount of interest-earning assets scheduled to
reprice in any given period and the amount of interest-bearing
liabilities scheduled to reprice over the same time.  Any
difference can create a lag between the time it takes the rate
the bank earns interest to respond to market fluctuations and the
time it takes the rate the bank incurs interest costs to respond
to market fluctuations, and vice-versa.  Because of these
"interest sensitivity gaps," the amount of net interest income
may be affected by fluctuations in the interest rate. 

     ASSET QUALITY AND LENDING RISKS.  Success in the banking
industry largely depends on the quality of loans and other
assets.  The Bank's loan officers are actively encouraged to
identify deteriorating loans.  Loans are also monitored and
categorized through an analysis of their payment status.  The
Bank's failure to timely and accurately monitor the quality of
its loans and other assets could have a materially adverse effect
on the operations and financial condition of the Bank and the
Company.  There is a degree of credit risk associated with any
lending activity.  The Company attempts to minimize its credit
risk through loan diversification.  Although the Company's loan
portfolio is varied, with no undue concentration in any one
industry, substantially all of the loans in the portfolio have
been made to borrowers in central Missouri.  Therefore, the loan
portfolio is susceptible to factors affecting the central
Missouri area and the level of non-performing assets is heavily
dependant upon local conditions.  See "Economic Conditions in the
Company's Primary Market Area."  There can be no assurance that
the level of the Company's non-performing assets will not
increase above current levels.  High levels of non-performing
assets could have a materially adverse effect on the operations
and financial condition of the Bank and the Company.
<PAGE>
     PROVISIONS FOR POSSIBLE LOAN LOSSES.  The Company makes a
provision for loan losses based upon management's analysis of
potential losses in the loan portfolio and consideration of
prevailing economic conditions.  The Company may need to increase
the provision for loan losses through additional provisions in
the future if the financial condition of any of its borrowers
deteriorates or if real estate values decline.  See "Asset
Quality and Lending Risks."  Furthermore, various regulatory
agencies, as an integral part of their examination process,
periodically review the Company's loan portfolio, provision for
loan losses, and real estate acquired by foreclosure.  Such
agencies may require the Company to recognize additions to the
provision for loan losses based on their judgments of information
available to them at the time of the examination.  Any additional
provisions for possible loan losses, whether required as a result
of regulatory review or initiated by the Company itself, may
materially alter the financial outlook of the Bank and the
Company.  

     COMPETITION IN THE COMPANY'S MARKET AREA.  The Bank
experiences substantial competition for deposits and loans within
both its primary service area of Jefferson City and its secondary
service area of the nearby communities in Cole County.  The
Bank's competitors include other commercial banks, savings and
loan associations, savings banks, credit unions and money market
mutual funds.  Savings and loan associations and credit unions
now have the authority to offer checking accounts and to make
corporate and agricultural loans and were granted expanded
investment authority by recent federal regulations.  As a result,
these thrift institutions are expected to continue to offer
increased competition to commercial banks in the future.  In
addition, large national and multinational corporations have in
recent years become increasingly visible in offering a broad
range of financial services to all types of commercial and
consumer customers. Competition from larger institutions may
increase due to an acceleration of bank mergers and
consolidations in Missouri and the rest of the nation.  An
increase in the intensity of competition from other banks in the
central Missouri market could have a materially adverse impact on
the operations and financial condition of the Bank and the
Company.

     REGULATION.  Banks and bank holding companies such as the
Company are subject to regulation by both federal and state bank
regulatory agencies.  The regulations, which are designed to
protect borrowers and promote certain social policies, include
limitations on the operations of banks and bank holding
companies, such as minimum capital requirements and restrictions
on dividend payments.  These regulations are not necessarily
designed to maximize the profitability of banking institutions. 
Future changes in the banking laws and regulations could have a
materially adverse effect on the operations and financial
condition of the Bank and the Company.

     IMPORTANCE OF EXECUTIVE OFFICERS.  The success of the Bank
and the Company has been largely dependant on the efforts of
Donald Campbell and the other executive officers.  These
individuals are expected to continue to perform their services. 
However, the loss of the services of Donald Campbell, or any of
the other key executive officers could have a materially adverse
effect on the Bank and the Company.
<PAGE>
     ADDITIONAL FACTORS.  Additional risks and uncertainties that
may affect the future results of operations, financial condition
or business of the Bank and the Company include, but are not
limited to: (i) the ability to keep pace with technological
change including developing and implementing technological
advances timely and cost-effectively in order to provide better
service and remain competitive; (ii) adverse publicity, news
coverage by the media, or negative reports by brokerage firms,
industry and financial analysts regarding the Bank or the
Company; and (iii) changes in accounting policies and practices.

                EXCHANGE NATIONAL BANCSHARES, INC.


                     Jefferson City, Missouri


                                             March 25, 1997

To Our Shareholders:

     Your Board of Directors and management are pleased to report
that Exchange National Bancshares' net income for 1996 increased
22 cents per share of common stock to $5.35, an increase of 4.3%
over the $5.13 reported for 1995.  Growth in average loan volume
was the primary contributor to the increase.

     Shareholders received dividends totaling $1.84 per share of
common stock during 1996, an increase of 22 cents or 13.6% over
the amount received during 1995.  Quarterly dividends of 38 cents
per share of common stock were paid January 1 and April 1, 1996
and quarterly dividends of 44 cents per share were paid July 1
and October 1, 1996.  A special dividend of 20 cents per share of
common stock was paid December 1, 1996.

     Your Company's earnings performance expressed in terms of
net income divided by average total assets (or return on assets)
was 1.39% for 1996 compared to 1.42% for 1995, and return on
average total stockholders' equity was 9.76% for 1996 compared to
10.06% for 1995.  

     Capitalization of your Company expressed in terms of tier
one capital to adjusted total assets (leverage ratio) was 14.45%
at December 31, 1996 compared to 14.98% at December 31, 1995, and
its total capital to risk-weighted assets ratio was 23.14% at
December 31, 1995 compared to 23.66% at December 31, 1995.  Those
ratios far exceeded the Federal Reserve Board's minimum required
ratios at both dates.

     Your Board of Directors would like to take this opportunity
to thank Harold G. Butzer and James R. Loyd for their past
service to The Exchange National Bank and Exchange National
Bancshares.  Having reached mandatory retirement age, Harold G.
Butzer resigned from the Board of Directors of the Bank and
Bancshares effective December 28, 1996.  We are pleased that Mr.
Butzer will continue to serve as an advisory director of both the
Bank and Bancshares.  On October 1, 1996, after serving the Bank
for more than 46 years, James R. Loyd retired as Executive Vice
President of both the Bank and Bancshares.  Mr. Loyd will
continue to serve as a director of the Bank and Bancshares.

     Having served the east end of Jefferson City for over 10
years, we are excited to be opening our spacious new branch early
this spring.  This new facility will allow us to better serve the
rapidly growing east end of Jefferson City.  In 1997, we will
begin an extensive remodeling and expansion of our main banking
facilities at 132 East High Street.

     Finally, your Board of Directors is pleased to announce that
effective January 1, 1997, David T. Turner was elected President
and a Director of The Exchange National Bank and a Director of
Exchange National Bancshares.  David is a very talented and
dedicated individual.  He will make an outstanding President.  

     Once again, we appreciate the opportunity to serve you, our
shareholders, as well as our customers and look forward to
another challenging and profitable year.

                              Very truly yours,



                              DONALD L. CAMPBELL
                              Chairman of the Board and
                              President

               EXCHANGE NATIONAL BANCSHARES, INC.
                                
                     DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
     Exchange National Bancshares, Inc. ("Bancshares" or the
"Company") is a bank holding company registered under the Bank
Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the "Holding Company
Act").  Although Bancshares was incorporated under the laws of
the State of Missouri on October 23, 1992, it did not engage in
any business activity until April 7, 1993.  On that date, it
acquired all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of The
Exchange National Bank of Jefferson City, a national banking
association (the "Bank") pursuant to a corporate reorganization
involving an exchange of shares.  The Company's activities
currently are limited to ownership of the outstanding capital
stock of the Bank.  In addition to ownership of the Bank,
Bancshares could seek expansion through acquisition and may
engage in those activities (such as investments in banks or
operations closely related to banking) in which it is permitted
to engage under applicable law.  It currently is not anticipated
that Bancshares will engage in any business other than that
directly related to its ownership of the Bank.  Except as
otherwise provided herein, references herein to "Bancshares" or
the "Company" include Bancshares and its consolidated subsidiary.

     The Bank, located in Jefferson City, Missouri, was founded
in 1865.  The Bank is the oldest bank in Cole County, and became
a national bank in 1927.  The Bank has four banking offices; its
principal office at 132 East High Street in Jefferson City's
central business district, a facility at 217 West Dunklin near
the city's south side business district, a facility at 3701 West
Truman Boulevard adjacent to the Capitol Mall Shopping Center,
and a facility at 800 Eastland Drive near the city's east side
business district.

     The Bank is a full service bank conducting a general banking
and trust business, offering its customers checking and savings
accounts, debit cards, certificates of deposit, trust services,
safety deposit boxes and a wide range of lending services,
including credit card accounts, commercial and industrial loans,
single payment personal loans, installment loans and commercial
and residential real estate loans.

     The Bank's deposit accounts are insured by the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC") to the extent provided
by law, and it is a member of the Federal Reserve System.  The
Bank's operations are supervised and regulated by the Office of
the Comptroller of the Currency (the "OCC"), the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "Federal Reserve
Board") and the FDIC.  A periodic examination of the Bank is
conducted by representatives of the OCC.  Such regulations,
supervision and examinations are principally for the benefit of
depositors, rather than for the benefit of the holders of the
Bank's common stock.   Bancshares is subject to supervision by
the Federal Reserve Board.

     EXCEPT FOR THE HISTORICAL INFORMATION CONTAINED HEREIN, THE
STATEMENTS MADE IN THIS ANNUAL REPORT ARE FORWARD-LOOKING
STATEMENTS THAT INVOLVE RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES.  THE COMPANY'S
ACTUAL RESULTS, FINANCIAL CONDITION OR BUSINESS COULD DIFFER
MATERIALLY FROM ITS HISTORICAL RESULTS, FINANCIAL CONDITION OR
BUSINESS, OR THE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, FINANCIAL CONDITION OR
BUSINESS CONTEMPLATED BY SUCH FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS. 
FACTORS THAT COULD CAUSE OR CONTRIBUTE TO SUCH DIFFERENCES
INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO, THOSE DISCUSSED UNDER THE
CAPTION "FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS,
FINANCIAL CONDITION OR BUSINESS" IN THE COMPANY'S ANNUAL REPORT
ON FORM 10-KSB FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996, AS WELL AS
THOSE DISCUSSED ELSEWHERE IN THE COMPANY'S REPORTS FILED WITH THE
SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.

GENERAL

     Bancshares was organized on October 23, 1992, and on April
7, 1993, it acquired the Bank.  The acquisition of the Bank
represented a combination of entities under common control and,
accordingly, was accounted for in a manner similar to a pooling
of interest.

     Bancshares' consolidated net income for 1996 increased
$154,000 or 4.2% over 1995 and followed a $425,000 or 13.0%
increase for 1995 compared to 1994.  Earnings per common share
increased from $4.54 for 1994 to $5.13 for 1995 and to $5.35 for
1996.  Return on average total assets increased from 1.24% for
1994 to 1.42% for 1995 and then declined slightly to 1.39% for
1996.  Return on average total stockholders' equity increased
from 9.49% for 1994 to 10.06% for 1995 and then declined slightly
to 9.76% for 1996.

     Average loan volume, excluding bankers acceptances' and
commercial paper (money market loans) increased $15,172,000 or
10.3% to $163,024,000 for 1996 compared to $147,852,000 for 1995
and followed a $13,966,000 or 10.4% increase for 1995 compared to
1994.  Average commercial loan volume increased $4,855,000 or
14.1% for 1996 compared to 1995 and followed a $6,510,000 or
23.2% increase for 1995 compared to 1994.  Average real estate
loan volume increased $8,347,000 or 10.1% for 1996 compared to
1995 and followed an $7,830,000 or 10.5% increase for 1995
compared to 1994.  The increase in both commercial and real
estate loan volumes over the last two years reflected several
factors.  External factors included a stable local economy and
stable interest rates which fueled increased loan demand. 
Internal factors included an emphasis on Small Business
Administration loans.  Average consumer loan volume increased
$1,970,000 or 6.4% for 1996 compared to 1995 and followed a
$374,000 or 1.2% decrease for 1995 compared to 1994.  The
variances in consumer loan volume were due primarily to rate
competition from other financial institutions which affects the
volume of indirect loans purchased from auto dealers.

     Average interest-bearing time deposits increased $15,411,000
or 9.0% to $186,058,000 for 1996 compared to $170,647,000 for
1995 and followed a $4,466,000 or 2.6% decrease for 1995 compared
to 1994.  The increase in average total interest-bearing deposits
for 1996 primarily reflected an increase in rates paid in order
to attract additional funds, while the decrease for 1995
primarily reflected a decrease in balances maintained by several
large depositors.  Average securities sold under agreements to
repurchase decreased $1,766,000 or 9.7% to $16,512,000 for 1996
compared to $18,278,000 for 1995 and followed a $2,076,000 or
10.2% decrease for 1995 compared to 1994.  Those decreases both
reflect increased competition for institutional funds awarded
based upon competitive bids.

<PAGE>

     The Company's primary source of earnings is net interest
income, which is the difference between the interest earned on
interest earning assets and the interest paid on interest-bearing
liabilities.  Net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent
basis increased $425,000 or 4.1% to $10,761,000 for 1996 compared
to $10,336,000 for 1995, and followed a $698,000 or 7.2% increase
for 1995 compared to 1994.  The increases for both 1996 and 1995
reflect the favorable effects of growth in average loan volume. 
Measured as a percentage of average earning assets, the net
interest margin (expressed on a fully taxable equivalent basis)
increased from 3.91% for 1994 to 4.21% for 1995 and then
decreased to 4.12% for 1996.

     The provision for loan losses increased $130,000 or 49.1% to
$395,000 for 1996 compared to $265,000 for 1995 and followed a
$126,000 or 90.6% increase for 1995 compared to 1994.  The
provision increased in 1995 due primarily to loan growth, and in
1996 due primarily to an increase in consumer loan charge-offs. 
The allowance for loan losses totaled $2,307,000  or 1.33% of
loans outstanding at December 31, 1996 compared to $2,179,000 or
1.41% of loans outstanding at December 31, 1995 and $1,943,000 or
1.35% of loans outstanding at December 31, 1994.  The allowance
for loan losses expressed as a percentage of nonperforming loans
was 275.21% at December 31, 1994; 260.02% at December 31, 1995;
and 211.26% at December 31, 1996.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Years Ended December 31, 1996 and 1995

     The Company's net income increased by $154,000 or 4.2% to
$3,843,000 for the year ended December 31, 1996 compared to
$3,689,000 for 1995.  Net interest income on a fully taxable
equivalent basis increased to $10,761,000 or 4.12% of average
earning assets for 1996 compared to $10,336,000 or 4.21% for
1995.  The provision for loan losses for 1996 was $395,000
compared to $265,000 for 1995.  Net loans charged off for 1996
were $267,000 compared to $29,000 for 1995.

     Noninterest income and noninterest expense for the years

     Noninterest income increased $141,000 or 8.1% to $1,890,000
for 1996 compared to $1,749,000 for 1995 due to growth in most
major categories.  Trust department income increased $56,000 or
24.3% due to a combination of <PAGE> an increase in fees charged, growth
in the market value of assets managed, and an increase in volume
of estate distribution fees.  Credit card fees increased $36,000
and service charges on deposit accounts increased $35,000.  Both
of those increases reflected increased volume.  Mortgage loan
servicing fees, which increased $30,000, also reflected increased
volume.  Average loans serviced during 1996 totaled approximately
$70,900,000 compared to $60,800,000 for 1995.  Although total
loans originated and sold to the secondary market (including
refinances of existing loans previously sold) during 1996
increased to approximately $21,436,000 compared to $19,652,000
for 1995, gain on sales of mortgage loans declined $16,000. 
Local competitive pressure resulted in fewer loan origination
fees.

     Noninterest expense increased $183,000 or 3.0% to $6,185,000
for 1996 compared to $6,002,000 for 1995 due primarily to a
$285,000 or 9.2% increase in salaries, wages, and employee
benefits and a $71,000 or 25.6% increase in advertising and
promotion.  Those increases were partially offset by a $232,000
decrease in FDIC insurance assessment.  The increase in salaries,
wages, and employee benefits reflected a combination of
recruiting expense, increases in non-officer employee salaries to
respond to local market conditions, officer merit increases of
approximately 4.0%, increases in pension and profit sharing
expense, and increased payroll taxes.  The increase in
advertising and promotion reflected increased costs associated
with a new logo and a special advertising program.  The decrease
in FDIC insurance assessment primarily reflected a decrease in
the annual assessment rate from 23 cents per $100 of deposits for
the first half of 1995 and 4 cents per $100 of deposits for the
remainder of 1995 to a minimum assessment of $2,000 for 1996. 
Credit investigation and loan collection increased $29,000 or
33.3% due primarily to increased cost associated with loan
collections.
 
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995 AND 1994

     The Company's net income increased by $425,000 or 13.0% to
$3,689,000 for the year ended December 31, 1995 compared to
$3,264,000 for 1994.  Net interest income on a fully taxable
equivalent basis increased to $10,336,000 or 4.21% of average
earning assets for 1995 compared to $9,638,000 or 3.91% for 1994. 
The provision for loan losses for 1995 was $265,000 compared to
$139,000 for 1994.  Net loans charged off for 1995 were $29,000

</TABLE>
     Noninterest income decreased $8,000 or 0.5% to $1,749,000
for 1995 compared to $1,757,000 for 1994.  The primary reason for
the decrease was a non-recurring $95,000 gain recorded in 1994 on
the portion of the East Bank land taken by the Highway Department
for a new interchange.  Other significant changes in noninterest
income were a $38,000 increase in credit card fees, a $36,000
increase in mortgage loan servicing fees, and a $12,000 increase
in gain on sales of mortgage loans.  The increase in credit card
fees primarily reflected an increase in the volume of fees
received for processing merchant transactions.  The increases in
mortgage loan servicing fees and gain on sales of mortgage loans
also primarily reflected increased volume.  Average loans
serviced during 1995 totaled approximately $60,800,000 compared
to $53,300,000 for 1994, and total loans originated and sold to
the secondary market during 1995 (including refinances of
existing loans previously sold) were approximately $19,652,000
compared to $17,845,000 for 1994.

     Noninterest expense decreased $93,000 or 1.5% to $6,002,000
for 1995 compared to $6,095,000 for 1994 due primarily to a
$230,000 decrease in FDIC insurance assessment.  The decrease in
FDIC insurance assessment primarily reflected a decrease in the
annual assessment rate from 23 cents per $100 of deposits for the
year 1994 and first half of 1995 to 4 cents per $100 of deposits
for the remainder of 1995.  Other significant changes in
noninterest expense were a $68,000 increase in credit card
expenses and a $40,000 increase in advertising and promotion. 
The increase in credit card expenses primarily reflected and
increase in fees charged to the Company by its credit card
processor for merchant transactions and an increase in the volume
of those transactions processed.  The increase in advertising and
promotion reflected the cost of developing and implementing a new
advertising campaign.  Salaries, wages, and employee benefits,
the largest component of noninterest expense increased only
$48,000 or 1.6%.  Salaries and wages increased approximately
$68,000 or 2.7% due to merit increases which were offset in part
by a reduction in the average number of full-time equivalent
employees.  Employee benefits decreased approximately $20,000 due
primarily to a decrease in pension expense.

NET INTEREST INCOME

     The increases in fully taxable equivalent net interest
income for both 1996 and 1995 reflect the favorable effects of
growth in average loan volume.

     The following table presents, on a fully taxable equivalent basis, an
analysis of changes in net interest income resulting from changes in average
volumes of earning assets and interest bearing liabilities and average rates
earned and paid.  The change in interest due to the combined rate/volume
variance has been allocated to rate and volume changes in proportion to the
absolute dollar amounts of change in each.

LENDING AND CREDIT MANAGEMENT

     Interest earned on the loan portfolio is a primary source of
interest income for the Company.  Net loans represented 60.2% of
total assets as of December 31, 1996.  Total loans net of
unearned income increased steadily from December 31, 1992 through
December 31, 1996 due to a stable local economy and reasonable
interest rates and primarily reflected growth in commercial and
commercial real estate loans.  Growth in volume of installment
loans to individuals historically has depended upon the purchase
of non-recourse contracts from automobile dealers.  Competition
from other <PAGE> financial institutions has continued to affect the
volume of auto dealer contracts purchased.  A significant amount
of the increase in consumer loans to individuals during 1996 came
as a result of the introduction of a new product, sub-prime
automobile loans.  The interest rates and charge-offs related to
this product reflected the increased risk associated with the
more laxed underwriting standards associated with this type of
product.

     Lending activities are conducted pursuant to a written loan
policy approved by the Bank's Board of Directors.  Larger credits
are reviewed by the Bank's Discount Committee.  This committee is
comprised of members of senior management.

     The following table shows the composition of the loan
portfolio by major category and each category as a percentage of
the total portfolio as of the dates indicated.

     The Company generally does not retain long-term fixed rate
residential mortgage loans in its portfolio.  Fixed rate loans
conforming to standards required by the secondary market are
offered to qualified borrowers, but are not funded until the
Company has a non-recourse purchase commitment from the secondary
market at a predetermined price.  At December 31, 1996 the
Company was servicing approximately $75,800,000 of loans sold to
the secondary market.  Mortgage loans retained in the Company's
portfolio generally include provisions for rate adjustments at
one to three year intervals.  Commercial loans and real estate
construction loans generally have maturities of less than one
year.  Installment loans to individuals are primarily fixed rate
loans with maturities from one to five years.



<PAGE>


     Although loans, net of unearned income, increased by
$18,553,000 during 1994, the provision for loan losses decreased
in 1994 due to management's belief that the quality of the loan
portfolio had improved.  The provision increased in 1995 due
primarily to loan growth, and in 1996 due primarily to an
increase in net loans charged off.  A significant amount of the
increase in net charge-offs of installment loans to individuals
during 1996 came as a result of the introduction of a new
product, sub-prime automobile loans.

     The provision for loan losses is based on management's
evaluation of the loan portfolio in light of national and local
economic conditions, changes in the composition and volume of the
loan portfolio, changes in the volume of past due and nonaccrual
loans, and other relevant factors.  The allowance for loan losses
which is reported as a deduction from loans, is available for
loan charge-offs.  This allowance is increased by the provision
charged to expense and is reduced by loan charge-offs net of loan
recoveries.

     Management formally reviews all loans in excess of certain
dollar amounts (periodically established) at least annually.  In
addition, on a monthly basis, management reviews past due,
"classified", and "watch list" loans in order to classify or
reclassify loans as "loans requiring attention," "substandard,"
"doubtful," or "loss".  During that review, management also
determines which loans should be considered to be "impaired". 
Management believes, but there can be no assurance, that these
procedures keep management informed of possible problem loans. 
Based upon these procedures, both the allowance and provision for
loan losses are adjusted to maintain the allowance at a level
considered adequate by management for estimated losses inherent
in the loan portfolio.

     The following table summarizes loan loss experience for the
periods indicated:

     It is the Company's policy to discontinue the accrual of
interest income on loans when the full collection of principal or
interest is in doubt, or when the payment of principal or
interest has become contractually 90 days past due unless the
obligation is both well secured and in the process of collection. 
Interest on year-end nonaccrual loans, which would have been
recorded under the original terms of the loans, was approximately
$68,000 and $62,000 for the year ended December 31, 1996 and
1995, respectively.  Approximately $22,000 and $19,000 was
actually recorded as interest income on such loans for the year
ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. 

     On January 1, 1995 the Company adopted the provisions of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 114, "Accounting
by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan" (SFAS 114), as amended by
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 118, "Accounting
by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan - Income Recognition and
Disclosures" (SFAS 118).  A loan is considered impaired when it
is probable a creditor will be unable to collect all amounts due
- - both principal and interest - according to the contractual
terms of the loan agreement.  In addition to nonaccrual loans at
December 31, 1996 included in the table above, which were
considered "impaired", management has identified additional loans
totaling approximately $4,333,000 which are not included in the
nonaccrual table above but are considered by management to be
"impaired".  Approximately $3,987,000 of those loans represented
commercial and real estate loans to a group of borrowers that
operate in an industry that has experienced some adverse economic
trends due to change in that industry's regulatory environment. 
Management believes that the loans are well secured and all of
them performed according to their contractual terms during 1996. 
The remainder of loans identified by management as being
"impaired" reflected two commercial loans totaling approximately
$167,000, one real estate loan totaling approximately $41,000,
and twenty consumer loans totaling approximately $138,000. 
Allocations of the allowance for loan losses on "impaired" loans
were determined based on the fair value of the collateral
securing those loans, or in the case of loans guaranteed by the
Small Business Administration, the amount of that guarantee.  At
December 31, 1996 $277,000 of the Company's allowance for loan
losses related to "impaired" loans.  Of that $277,000, $113,000
related to commercial loans; $55,000 <PAGE> related to real estate
construction loans; $10,000 related to real estate mortgage
loans; and $99,000 related to installment loans to individuals.

     As of December 31, 1996 and 1995 approximately $2,224,000
and $1,850,000, respectively, of loans not included in the
nonaccrual table above or identified by management as being
"impaired" were classified by management as having potential
credit problems which raised doubts as to the ability of the
borrower to comply with present loan repayment terms.  Of the
$2,224,000 of "classified" loans at December 31, 1996, $202,000
represented three commercial loans ranging in size from
approximately $53,000 to $94,000; $1,666,000 represented seven
real estate loans ranging in size from approximately $55,000 to
$561,000; and $356,000 represented thirty nine installment loans
to individuals.

     In addition to the "classified list", the Company also
maintains an internal loan "watch list" of loans which for
various reasons, not all related to credit quality, management is
monitoring more closely than the average loan in the portfolio. 
Loans may be added to this list for reasons which are temporary
and correctable, such as the absence of current financial
statements of the borrower, or a deficiency in loan
documentation.  Other loans are added as soon as any problem is
detected which might affect the borrower's ability to meet the
terms of the loan.  This could be initiated by the delinquency of
a scheduled loan payment, a deterioration in the borrower's
financial condition identified in a review of periodic financial
statements, a decrease in the value of the collateral securing
the loan, or a change in the economic environment within which
the borrower operates.  Once a loan is placed on the Company's
"watch list", its condition is monitored closely.  Any further
deterioration in the condition of the loan is evaluated to
determine if the loan should be assigned to a higher risk
category.

     The allowance for loan losses in its entirety is available
to absorb loan losses regardless of the category of loan to be
charged off.  However, as a part of management's evaluation of
the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, an allocation of
the allowance by loan category is made.  At December 31, 1996,
management allocated $1,904,000 of the $2,307,000 total allowance
for loan losses to specific loan categories and $403,000 was
unallocated.  Considering the size of several of the Company's
lending relationships and the loan portfolio in total, management
believes that the December 31, 1996 allowance for loan losses is
adequate.

     The Company does not lend funds for the type of transactions
defined as "highly leveraged" by bank regulatory authorities or
for foreign loans.  Additionally, the Company does not have any
concentrations of loans exceeding 10% of total loans which are
not otherwise disclosed in the loan portfolio composition table. 
The Company does not have any interest-earning assets which would
have been included in nonaccrual, past due, or restructured loans
if such assets were loans.

     The following table sets forth the amount of the Company's
outstanding loan and similar commitments, by type, as of the end
of each of the last two fiscal years:

________________
/1/  Of the commitments shown as outstanding at December 31,
     1996, management considers approximately $36,106,000 to be
     "firm," and estimates that approximately $24,030,885 will be
     exercised in 1997.  


<PAGE>



     Of the commitments shown in the foregoing table $17,116,147
and $12,001,316 represent fixed-rate loan commitments at December
31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  The remaining commitments
provide that the interest rates to be charged on amounts borrowed
thereunder will be determined by market conditions at the time of
borrowing.

INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO

     The Company classifies its debt and equity securities into
one of the following three categories:

     Held-to-Maturity - includes investments in debt securities
which the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold
until maturity.

     Trading - includes investments in debt and equity securities
purchased and  held principally for the purpose of selling them
in the near-term.

     Available-for-Sale - includes investments in debt and equity
securities not classified as held to maturity or trading (i.e.,
investments which the Company has no present plans to sell in the
near-term but may be sold in the future under different
circumstances).

     Debt securities classified as held-to-maturity are carried
at amortized cost, while debt and equity securities classified as
trading or  available-for-sale are carried at estimated market
value.  Unrealized holding gains and losses from trading
securities are to be included in earnings, while such gains and
losses for available-for-sale securities are to be excluded from
earnings and reported as a net amount as a separate component of
stockholders' equity until realized, net of applicable taxes, if
any.

     The Company does not engage in trading activities and
accordingly does not have any debt or equity securities
classified as trading securities.  Historically the Company's
practice had been to purchase and hold debt instruments until
maturity unless special circumstances exist.  However, since the
investment portfolio's major function is to provide liquidity and
to balance the Company's interest rate sensitivity position,
certain debt securities along with stock of the Federal Home Loan
Bank and the Federal Reserve Bank are classified as
available-for-sale.

     At December 31, 1996 debt securities classified as
held-to-maturity represented 10.4% of total consolidated assets
and debt and equity securities classified as available-for-sale
represented 18.0% of total consolidated assets.  Future levels of
held-to-maturity and available-for-sale investment securities can
be expected to vary depending upon liquidity and interest
sensitivity needs as well as other factors.

__________________
(1)  Weighted average yield is based on amortized cost for both available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities.
(2)  Mortgage-backed securities issued by U.S. Government agencies and
     corporations have been included using historic repayment speeds. 
     Repayment speeds were determined from actual portfolio experience during
     the twelve months ended December 31, 1996 calculated separately for each
     mortgage-backed security.  These repayment speeds are not necessarily
     indicative of future repayment speeds and are subject to change based on
     changing mortgage interest rates.
(3)  Rates on obligations of states and political subdivisions have been
     adjusted to fully taxable equivalent rates using the statutory Federal
     income tax rate of 34%.

</TABLE>


INTEREST SENSITIVITY AND LIQUIDITY

     The concept of interest sensitivity attempts to gauge
exposure of the Company's net interest income to adverse changes
in market-driven interest rates by measuring the amount of
interest sensitive assets and interest sensitive liabilities
maturing or subject to repricing within a specified time period. 
Liquidity represents the ability of the Company to meet the
day-to-day withdrawal demands of its deposit customers balanced
against the fact that those deposits are invested in assets with
varying maturities.  The Company must also be prepared to fulfill
the needs of credit customers for loans with various types of
maturities and other financing arrangements.  The Company
monitors its interest sensitivity and liquidity through the use
of static gap reports which measure the difference between assets
and liabilities maturing or repricing within specified time
periods.

     The Company's asset/liability management policy addresses
interest sensitivity and liquidity in terms of an operating range
for the cumulative impact on the next twelve months' net interest
income of both a gradual two percent increase and a gradual two
percent decrease in interest rates.  The operating range for the
cumulative first twelve months impact of a gradual two percent
change in interest rates is expressed as the after tax effect of
the projected change in net interest income as a percentage of
the current year's net income.  The established range for the
impact of a gradual two percent change in interest rates is plus
or minus five percent.

     The following tables present the Company's interest
sensitivity position at various intervals at December 31, 1996.

     The Company's NOW, savings and money market deposit account
rates be can raised or lowered at any time.  However, management
believes that NOW and savings account rates are less sensitive
than money market deposit account rates and does not anticipate
significantly increasing NOW and savings account rates in a
gradually rising rate environment.  Management also believes
that, considering the Company's present interest rate structure,
in a gradually falling rate environment once interest rates have
decreased one percent, NOW and savings account rates would be
lowered.  Accordingly, in the preceding rising interest rate
scenario table NOW and savings account balances are projected to
gradually reprice as balances are withdrawn and placed in higher
paying investments.  In the preceding falling rate scenario table
NOW and savings account balances are repriced once interest rates
have fallen one percent.

     Demand deposits are generally subject to immediate
withdrawal.  However, for liquidity purposes, management
considers a core level of demand deposits to be a stable source
of funds based on the Company's historical experience.  For
purposes of preparing the preceding tables, management considers
approximately 50 percent of its commercial deposits to be
volatile and subject to withdrawal within three months.

     In addition to managing interest sensitivity and liquidity
through the use of gap reports, management historically has
provided for emergency liquidity situations with an informal
agreement with a correspondent bank which permits the Company to
borrow up to $15,000,000 in federal funds on a unsecured basis
and a formal agreement for a secured $10,000,000 reverse
repurchase agreement line.  During 1995, the Company also joined
the Federal Home Loan Bank which may be used in the future to
provide a funding source for fixed rate real estate loans and/or
additional liquidity.  Historically, the Company has not used any
of these funding vehicles.

     At December 31, 1996 and 1995, the Company had certificates
and other time deposits in denominations of $100,000 or more
which mature as follows:

                                              December 31,

                                    (dollars expressed in thousands)

     Securities sold under agreements to repurchase generally
mature the next business day; however, certain agreements with
local political subdivisions and select businesses are fixed rate
agreements with original maturities generally ranging from 30 to
120 days.  Information relating to securities sold under
agreements to repurchase is as follows:

Capital

     Risk-based capital guidelines for financial institutions
were adopted by regulatory authorities effective January 1, 1991. 
These guidelines are designed to relate regulatory capital
requirements to the risk profiles of the specific institutions
and to provide more uniform requirements among the various
regulators.  The Company is required to maintain a minimum
risk-based capital to risk-weighted assets ratio of 8.00%, with
at least 4.00% being "Tier 1" capital.  In addition, a minimum
leverage ratio, Tier 1 capital to adjusted total assets, of 3.00%
must be maintained.  However, for all but the most highly rated
financial institutions, a leverage ratio of 3.00% plus an
additional cushion of 100 to 200 basis points is expected.

     In November, 1994 both the Office of the Comptroller of the
Currency and Federal Reserve Board issued final rules concerning
regulatory capital treatment for SFAS 115 adjustments for net
unrealized holding gains and losses on available-for-sale
securities.  The final rule states that banking institutions
should not adjust Tier 1 capital for net unrealized holding gains
and losses on available-for-sale securities.  Accordingly, in the
case of the Company, Tier 1 capital is common stockholders'
equity, excluding net unrealized holding gains and losses on
available-for-sale securities.

     At December 31, 1996 and 1995 capital ratios for the Company
and for the Bank were as follows:

                                   Risk-Based Capital Ratios     Leverage
                                   Total           Tier 1         Ratio  
     Company
December 31, 1996                  23.14%          21.89%        14.45%
December 31, 1995                  23.66           22.41         14.98

     Bank
December 31, 1996                  23.01           21.77         14.42
December 31, 1995                  23.62           22.37         14.96

EFFECTS OF INFLATION

     The effects of inflation on financial institutions are
different from the effects on other commercial enterprises since
financial institutions make few significant capital or inventory
expenditures which are directly affected by changing prices. 
Because bank assets and liabilities are virtually all monetary in
nature, inflation does not affect a financial institution as much
as do changes in interest rates.  The general level of inflation
does underlie the general level of most interest rates, but
interest rates do not increase at the rate of inflation as do
prices of goods and services.  Rather, interest rates react more
to changes in the expected rate of inflation and to changes in
monetary and fiscal policy.

     Inflation does have an impact on the growth of total assets
in the banking industry, often resulting in a need to increase
capital at higher than normal rates to maintain an appropriate
capital to asset ratio.  In the opinion of management, inflation
did not have a significant effect on the Company's operations for
the three years ended December 31, 1996.


FINANCIAL INSTRUMENT MARKET VALUES

     As disclosed in note 12 of the Company's consolidated
financial statements, the market values of financial instrument
assets and liabilities included in the balance sheet as of
December 31, 1996 reflect fair values of approximately $1,946,000
and $489,000, respectively, higher than the amounts recorded on
the consolidated balance sheet.  Such increases reflect the
effects of a decreasing rate environment, the effects of which
are partially offset by the effectiveness of the Company's
asset/liability and credit risk management programs.

                   Independent Auditors' Report


The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Exchange National Bancshares, Inc.
Jefferson City, Missouri:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of
Exchange National Bancshares, Inc. and subsidiary (the Company)
as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the related consolidated
statements of income, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for
each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31,
1996.  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 Exchange National Bancshares, Inc. and subsidiary as
of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the
three-year period ended December 31, 1996, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

(1)  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     Exchange National Bancshares, Inc. (the Company), through
     its wholly owned subsidiary, The Exchange National Bank of
     Jefferson City (the Bank), provides a full range of banking
     services to individual and corporate customers located
     within Jefferson City, Missouri, and the surrounding
     communities.  The Bank is subject to competition from other
     financial and nonfinancial institutions providing financial
     products.  Additionally, the Company and the Bank are
     subject to the regulations of certain regulatory agencies
     and undergo periodic examinations by those regulatory
     agencies.

     The consolidated financial statements of the Company have
     been prepared in conformity with generally accepted
     accounting principles and conform to predominant practices
     within the banking industry.  The preparation of the
     consolidated financial statements in conformity with
     generally accepted accounting principles requires management
     to make estimates and assumptions, including the
     determination of the allowance for loan losses and the
     valuation of real estate acquired in connection with
     foreclosure or in satisfaction of loans, that affect the
     reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
     contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
     consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts
     of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. 
     Actual results could differ from those estimates.

     The significant accounting policies used by the Company in
     the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are
     summarized below:

          PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

     The consolidated financial statements include the accounts
     of the Company and the Bank.  All significant intercompany
     accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

          LOANS

     Loans are stated at face amount less unearned income and the
     allowance for loan losses.  Income on loans is accrued on a
     simple-interest basis.

     Loans are placed on nonaccrual status when management
     believes that the borrower's financial condition, after
     consideration of business conditions and collection efforts,
     is such that collection of interest is doubtful.  Interest
     accrued in the current year is reversed against interest
     income, and prior years' interest is charged to the
     allowance for loan losses.  A loan remains on nonaccrual
     status until the loan is current as to payment of both
     principal and interest and/or the borrower demonstrates the
     ability to pay and remain current.

     Loan origination fees and costs are deferred and recognized
     over the life of the loan as an adjustment to yield.



<PAGE>


     The Bank originates certain loans which are sold in the
     secondary mortgage market to the Federal Home Loan Mortgage
     Corporation (Freddie Mac).  These long-term, fixed-rate loans are
     sold on a note-by-note basis.  Immediately upon locking-in an
     interest rate, the Company enters into an agreement to sell the
     mortgage loan to Freddie Mac without recourse.  The Company
     allocates the entire cost of loans originated to the mortgage
     loans, with no cost being allocated to the mortgage servicing
     rights.  At December 31, 1996 and 1995, no mortgage loans were
     held for sale.  Mortgage loan servicing fees earned on loans sold
     to Freddie Mac are reported as income when the related loan
     payments are collected.  Operational costs to service such loans
     are charged to expense as incurred.

     ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

     The allowance for loan losses is increased by provisions
     charged to operations and is reduced by loan charge-offs
     less recoveries.  Management utilizes a systematic,
     documented approach in determining the appropriate level of
     the allowance for loan losses.  Management's approach, which
     provides for general and specific valuation allowances, is
     based on current economic conditions, past losses,
     collection experience, risk characteristics of the
     portfolio, assessment of collateral values by obtaining
     independent appraisals for significant properties, and such
     other factors which, in management's judgment, deserve
     current recognition in estimating loan losses.

     Management believes the allowance for loan losses is
     adequate to absorb possible losses in the loan portfolio. 
     While management uses available information to recognize
     loan losses, future additions to the allowance may be
     necessary based on changes in economic conditions.  In
     addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part
     of their examination process, periodically review the
     allowance for loan losses.  Such agencies may require the
     Bank to increase the allowance for loan losses based on
     their judgment about information available to them at the
     time of their examination.

     A loan is considered impaired when it is probable a creditor
     will be unable to collect all amounts due, both principal
     and interest, according to the contractual terms of the loan
     agreement.

          INVESTMENTS IN DEBT AND EQUITY SECURITIES

     At the time of purchase, debt securities are classified in
     one of two categories:  available-for-sale or
     held-to-maturity.  Held-to-maturity securities are those
     securities which the Company has the ability and intent to
     hold until maturity.  All equity securities, and debt
     securities not classified as held-to-maturity, are
     classified as available-for-sale.

     Available-for-sale securities are recorded at fair value. 
     Held-to-maturity securities are recorded at amortized cost,
     adjusted for the amortization or accretion of premiums or
     discounts.  Unrealized gains and losses, net of the related
     tax effect, on available-for-sale securities are excluded
     from earnings and reported as a separate component of
     stockholders' equity until realized.


<PAGE>



     For securities in the available-for-sale and
     held-to-maturity categories, premiums and discounts are
     amortized or accreted over the lives of the respective
     securities, with consideration of historical and estimated
     prepayment rates for mortgage-backed securities, as an
     adjustment to yield, using the interest method.  Dividend
     and interest income are recognized when earned.  Realized
     gains and losses for securities classified as
     available-for-sale are included in earnings based on the
     specific identification method for determining the cost of
     securities sold.

     A decline in the market value of any available-for-sale or
     held-to-maturity security below cost that is deemed other
     than temporary results in a charge to earnings and the
     establishment of a new cost basis for the security.

     The Bank, as a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank System
     administered by the Federal Housing Finance Board, is
     required to maintain an investment in the capital stock of
     the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) in an amount equal to the
     greater of 1% of the Bank's total mortgage-related assets at
     the beginning of each year, 0.3% of the Bank's total assets
     at the beginning of each year, or 5% of advances from the
     FHLB to the Bank.  Additionally, the Bank is required to
     maintain an investment in the capital stock of the Federal
     Reserve Bank.  These investments are recorded at cost which
     represents redemption value.

          PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT

     Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated
     depreciation.  Depreciation applicable to buildings and
     improvements and furniture and equipment is charged to
     operating expense using straight-line and accelerated
     methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets.  Such
     lives are estimated to be 5 to 55 years for buildings and
     improvements and 3 to 15 years for furniture and equipment. 
     Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as
     incurred.

          OTHER REAL ESTATE

     Other real estate, included in other assets in the
     accompanying consolidated balance sheets, is recorded at
     fair value.  If the fair value of other real estate declines
     subsequent to foreclosure, the difference is recorded as a
     valuation allowance through a charge to income.  Subsequent
     increases in fair value are recorded through a reversal of
     the valuation allowance.  Expenses incurred in maintaining
     the properties are charged to operations.

          INCOME TAXES

     The Company and the Bank file a consolidated federal income
     tax return.

     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 <PAGE> 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.

          TRUST DEPARTMENT

     Property held by the Bank in fiduciary or agency capacities
     for its customers is not included in the accompanying
     consolidated balance sheets, since such items are not assets
     of the Company.  Trust department income is recognized on
     the accrual basis.

          EARNINGS PER SHARE

     Earnings per share of common stock is computed by dividing
     net income by 718,511, the weighted average number of common
     shares outstanding during 1996, 1995, and 1994.

          CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWS

     For the purpose of the consolidated statements of cash
     flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and due
     from banks and federal funds sold.

          RECLASSIFICATIONS

     Certain amounts in the 1995 and 1994 consolidated financial
     statements have been reclassified to conform with the 1996
     presentation.  Such reclassifications have no effect on
     previously reported net income.

          IMPACT OF NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT

     During June 1996, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
     issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 125
     Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets
     and Extinguishments of Liabilities (SFAS 125).  SFAS 125
     provides accounting and reporting standards for transfers
     and servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of
     liabilities based on consistent application of a financial
     components approach that focuses on control.  It
     distinguishes transfers of financial assets that are sales
     from transfers that are secured borrowings.  Under the
     financial components approach, after a transfer of financial
     assets, an entity recognizes all financial and servicing
     assets it controls and liabilities it has incurred and
     derecognizes financial assets it no longer controls and
     liabilities that have been extinguished.  The financial
     components approach focuses on the assets and liabilities
     that exist after the transfer.  Many of these assets and
     liabilities are components of financial assets that existed
     prior to the transfer.  If a transfer does not meet the
     criteria for a sale, the transfer is accounted for as a
     secured borrowing with pledge of collateral.

     SFAS 125 extends the "available-for-sale" or "trading"
     approach in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
     115, Accounting Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
     Securities (SFAS 115) to nonsecurity financial assets that
     can contractually be prepaid or otherwise settled in such a
     way that the holder of the asset would not recover
     substantially all of its recorded investment.  Thus,
     nonsecurity financial assets (no matter how acquired) <PAGE> such
     as loans, other receivables, interest only strips, or
     residual interest in securitization trusts that are subject
     to prepayment risk that could prevent recovery of
     substantially all of the recorded amount are to be reported
     at fair value with the change in fair value accounted for
     depending on the asset's classification as
     "available-for-sale" or "trading."  SFAS 125 also amends
     SFAS 115 to prevent a security from being classified as
     held-to-maturity if the security can be prepaid or otherwise
     settled in such a way that the holder of the security would
     not recover substantially all of its recorded investment.

     SFAS 125 is effective for transfers and servicing of
     financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities
     occurring after December 31, 1996, and is to be applied
     prospectively.  Earlier or retroactive application is not
     permitted.  Also, the extension of the SFAS 115 approach to
     certain nonsecurity financial assets and the amendment to
     SFAS 115 is effective for financial assets held on or
     acquired after January 1, 1997.  Reclassifications that are
     necessary because of the amendment do not call into question
     an entity's intent to hold other debt securities to maturity
     in the future.  The adoption of SFAS 125 is not expected to
     have a material impact on the Company's consolidated
     financial statements.

(2)  CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

     The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory
     capital requirements administered by the federal banking
     agencies.  Failure to meet minimum capital 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
     consolidated financial statements.  Under capital adequacy
     guidelines, the Company and the Bank must meet specific
     capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of
     assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as
     calculated under regulatory accounting practices.  The
     Company and the Bank's capital amounts and classification
     are subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about
     components, risk-weightings, and other factors.

     Quantitative measures established by regulations to ensure
     capital adequacy require the Company and the Bank to
     maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table
     below) of total and Tier I capital (as defined in the
     regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of
     Tier I capital (as defined) to adjusted average assets (as
     defined).  Management believes, as of December 31, 1996, the
     Company and the Bank meet all capital adequacy requirements
     to which they are subject.

     The Bank is also subject to the regulatory framework for
     prompt corrective action.  The most recent notification from
     the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, dated
     April22, 1996, categorized the Bank as well capitalized
     under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. 
     To be categorized as well capitalized, the Bank must
     maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier I risk-based, and
     Tier I leverage ratios as set forth in the table.  There are
     no conditions or events since that notification that
     management believes have changed the Bank's category.

     The Bank grants real estate, commercial, and installment and
     other consumer loans to customers located within Jefferson
     City and the surrounding communities.  As such, the Bank is
     susceptible to changes in the economic environment in
     Jefferson City and the surrounding communities.  The Bank
     does not have a concentration of credit in any one economic
     sector.  Installment and other consumer loans consist
     primarily of the financing of vehicles.

     Following is a summary of activity in 1996 of loans made by
     the Bank to executive officers and directors or to entities
     in which such individuals had a beneficial interest.  Such
     loans were made in the normal course of business on
     substantially the same terms, including interest rates and
     collateral requirements, as those prevailing at the same
     time for comparable transactions with other persons, and did
     not involve more than the normal risk of collectibility or
     present unfavorable features.

     agreements with unaffiliated banks, the Bank may borrow up
     to $15,000,000 in federal funds on an unsecured basis at
     December 31, 1996.

     The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent
     upon the generation of future taxable income during the
     periods in which those temporary differences become
     deductible.  Management considers the scheduled reversal of
     deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income,
     and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. 
     Based upon the level of historical taxable income and
     projections for future taxable income over the periods which
     the deferred tax assets are deductible, management believes
     it is more likely than not <PAGE> the Company will realize the
     benefits of these temporary differences at December 31, 1996
     and, therefore, has not established a valuation reserve.

(10) PENSION AND RETIREMENT PLANS

     The Bank provides a noncontributory defined benefit plan in
     which all full-time employees become participants upon the
     later of the completion of one year of qualified service or
     the attainment of age 21, and in which they continue to
     participate as long as they continue to be full-time
     employees, until their retirement, death, or termination of
     employment prior to normal retirement date.  The normal
     retirement benefits provided under the plan vary depending
     upon the participant's previous rate of compensation, length
     of employment, and social security benefits.  Retirement
     benefits are payable for life but not less than 10 years.
     Plan assets consist of U.S. Treasury and government agency
     securities, corporate common stocks and bonds, real estate
     mortgages, and demand deposits.

     The net periodic pension expense (benefit) for the plan for
     1996, 1995, and 1994 is as follows:

Bank is required to make annual contributions in an amount equal
to 6% of income before income taxes and before contributions to
the profit sharing and pension plans for all participants,
limited to the maximum amount deductible for federal income tax
purposes.  Contributions to the profit sharing plan for 1996,
1995, and 1994 were $349,132, $338,089, and $307,032,
respectively.  At December 31, 1996, the profit sharing plan held
69,704 shares of the common stock of the Company.

(12) DISCLOSURES ABOUT FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

     The Company is a party to financial instruments with
     off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to
     meet the financing needs of its customers.  These financial
     instruments include commitments to extend credit and
     commercial and standby letters of credit.  Those instruments
     involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest
     rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the
     consolidated balance sheets. 

     The Company's exposure to credit loss in the event of
     nonperformance by the other party to the financial
     instrument for commitments to extend credit and commercial
     and standby letters of credit is represented by the
     contractual amount of those instruments.  The Company uses
     the same credit policies in making commitments and
     conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet
     instruments. 

     Off-balance-sheet financial instruments whose contractual
     amounts represent credit risk at December 31, 1996 and 1995
     are as follows: 


                                     1996             1995
Commitments to extend credit  $    37,160,684     26,183,238
Standby letters of credit             972,344        859,295


<PAGE>



     Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a
     customer as long as there is not a violation of any
     condition established in the contract.  Of the total
     commitments to extend credit, $17,116,147 and $12,001,316
     represent fixed-rate loan commitments at December31, 1996
     and 1995, respectively.  Commitments generally have fixed
     expiration dates or other termination clauses.  Since many
     of the commitments are expected to expire without being
     drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily
     represent future cash requirements.

     Standby and commercial letters of credit are conditional
     commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the
     performance of a customer to a third party.  The credit risk
     involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the
     same as that involved in extending loan facilities to
     customers.

     The Company evaluates each customer's creditworthiness on a
     case-by-case basis.  The amount of collateral obtained if
     deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit is
     based on management's credit evaluation of the counterparty. 
     Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable;
     inventory; property, plant, and equipment; and
     income-producing commercial properties.

     A summary of the carrying amounts and fair values of the
     Company's financial instruments at December 31, 1996 and
     1995 is as follows:

                                         1996                     1995

<PAGE>



     The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate
     the fair value of each class of financial instruments for
     which it is practicable to estimate such value:

          LOANS

     Fair values are estimated for portfolios of loans with
     similar financial characteristics.  Loans are segregated by
     type, such as real estate, installment and other consumer,
     commercial, and bankers' acceptances.  Each loan category is
     further segmented into fixed and adjustable interest rate
     terms and by performing and nonperforming categories.

     The fair value of performing loans is calculated by
     discounting scheduled cash flows through estimated maturity
     using estimated market discount rates that reflect the
     credit and interest rate risk inherent in the loan.  The
     estimate of maturity is based on the Company's historical
     experience with repayments for each loan classification,
     modified, as required, by an estimate of the effect of
     current economic and lending conditions.

     The fair value for significant nonperforming loans is based
     on recent external appraisals.  If appraisals are not
     available, estimated cash flows are discounted using a rate
     commensurate with the risk associated with the estimated
     cash flows.  Assumptions regarding credit risk, cash flows,
     and discount rates are judgmentally determined using
     available market and specific borrower information.

          INVESTMENTS IN DEBT AND EQUITY SECURITIES

     Fair values are based on quoted market prices or dealer
     quotes.

          FEDERAL FUNDS SOLD AND CASH AND DUE FROM BANKS

     For federal funds sold and cash and due from banks, the
     carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value, as
     such instruments reprice in a short time period.

          ACCRUED INTEREST RECEIVABLE AND PAYABLE

     For accrued interest receivable and payable, the carrying
     amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value because of the
     short maturity for these financial instruments.

          DEPOSITS

     The fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, such as
     non-interest-bearing demand, NOW accounts, savings, and
     money market, is equal to the amount payable on demand.  The
     fair value of time deposits is based on the discounted value
     of contractual cash flows.  The discount rate is estimated
     using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar
     remaining maturities.



<PAGE>



          SECURITIES SOLD UNDER AGREEMENTS TO REPURCHASE

     The fair value of securities sold under agreements to
     repurchase is based on the discounted value of contractual
     cash flows.  The discount rate is estimated using the rates
     currently offered for agreements of similar remaining
     maturity.

          INTEREST-BEARING DEMAND NOTES TO U.S. TREASURY

     For interest-bearing demand notes to U.S. Treasury, the
     carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value, as
     such instruments reprice in a short time period.

          COMMITMENTS TO EXTEND CREDIT AND STANDBY LETTERS OF
          CREDIT


     The fair value of commitments to extend credit and standby
     letters of credit are estimated using the fees currently
     charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into
     account the remaining terms of the agreements, the
     likelihood of the counterparties drawing on such financial
     instruments, and the present creditworthiness of such
     counterparties.  The Company believes such commitments have
     been made on terms which are competitive in the markets in
     which it operates.

     The fair value estimates provided are made at a point in
     time based on market information and information about the
     financial instruments.  Because no market exists for a
     portion of the Company's financial instruments, fair value
     estimates are based on judgments regarding future expected
     loss experience, current economic conditions, risk
     characteristics of various financial instruments, and other
     factors.  These estimates are subjective in nature and
     involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment
     and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. 
     Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the fair
     value estimates.

(13) LITIGATION

     Various legal claims have arisen in the normal course of
     business, which, in the opinion of management of the
     Company, will not result in any material liability to the
     Company.

      MARKET PRICE OF AND DIVIDENDS ON EQUITY SECURITIES AND
                         RELATED MATTERS

     While there has been some trading activity in the Company's
common stock since April 7, 1993 (the date on which Bancshares
became a publicly held company), there is no established market
for the shares.  The following table sets forth the range of high
and low bid prices of the Company's common stock by quarter for
each quarter in 1996 and 1995 in which the stock was traded, as
reported by a local broker-dealer.

     The Company's Board of Directors intends that the Company
will continue to pay quarterly dividends at least at the current
rate.  In addition, the Board of Directors intends, to the extent
appropriate, that the Company will continue to pay an additional
special dividend.  The actual amount of quarterly dividends and
the payment, as well as amount, of any special dividend
ultimately will depend upon the payment of sufficient dividends
by the Bank to the Company.  The payment by the Bank of dividends
to the Company will depend upon such factors as the Bank's
financial condition, results of operations and current and
anticipated cash needs, including capital requirements.
