Loans:
Outstanding loans totaled $107,928,891 at June 30, 1997, representing a 
$14,340,111 or 15.32% increase when compared to June 30, 1996, and a $8,153,089 
or 8.17% increase when compared to 1996 year end balances of $99,775,802.  Loan 
commitments  (principally real estate construction notes) grew to  $21.8 
million at June 30, 1997, representing the highest level of undisbursed loan 
funds for the year.  These funds amounted to $9.5 million at June 30, 1996 
and $16.2 million at December 31, 1996. 

Reflective of the Bank's customer base, as well as trends within the local 
economy, 77.15% of the Bank's loan portfolio resides in loans secured by real 
estate.  This is consistent with previous reporting periods such as December 31,
1996 and June 30, 1996 whereby 75.49% and 74.78% of all loans were within this 
category.

The Bank's loan portfolio continues to perform within our expectations.  After 
considering our previous loss experience, current economic conditions, and 
potential problem loans, the current loan loss reserve of $1,601,858 is 
considered sufficient to cover the assumed risks when extending credit.

The following table presents the composition of the Bank's loan portfolio at the

Deposits:
From June 30, 1996 to June 30, 1997 deposits have increased by $15,810,820 or 
11.24%.  Deposit growth has slowed over the past six months, increasing by 
$879,299 or .56% when compared to December 31, 1996.  Late 1996 growth was due 
to management's decision to promote an attractive pricing strategy, increased 
marketing, and increased emphasis on implementing a sales culture within the 
branches.   The growth in deposit accounts has primarily been in Money Market 
Checking accounts and Non-interest bearing checking accounts.  These two 
categories have increased 18.9% and 16.16%, respectively, when compared to 
deposit balances as of June 30, 1996. Non-interest bearing deposits continue to 
be a reliable and substantial portion of our deposit base accounting for 29.69% 
of total deposits at  June 30, 1997. 

Shareholders' Equity:
Shareholder equity increased $1,691,774 during the first half of 1997.  
Shareholder equity at June 30,  1997 amounted to $21,879,908 compared to 
$20,188,134 at December 31, 1996.  The increase in equity reflects consolidated 
earnings of $1,776,699 and the proceeds from the exercise of stock options 
(8,383 shares for a  total of $36,066).  These additions to equity were 
partially offset by a change in the value of the "available for sale" portion of
our investment portfolio.  The "unrealized gain/loss" on this portion of the 
portfolio is reflected in shareholder equity.  The current value of this segment
of the bank's investment portfolio declined $120,991 when comparing December 31,
1996 to June 30, 1997.

Valley of the Rogue Bank is required to maintain minimum amounts of capital to 
"risk weighted" assets, as defined by banking regulators.  At June 30, 1997, the
Bank was required to have Tier 1 and Total Capital ratios of 4.0% and 8.0%, 
respectively. The Bank's actual ratios at that date were 16.23% and 17.48%, 
respectively.

Liquidity Management
With the recent growth in loans and loan commitments, management has become 
increasingly conscious of the importance of maintaining a strong liquidity 
ratio.  As of June 30, 1997, the Bank's loan-to-deposit ratio was a moderate 
69.63%. Additionally, the Bank has a borrowing agreement with FHLB of Seattle 
for cash advances up to approximately $8.8 million, as well as approximately 
$12.4 million in federal funds sold to meet potential liquidity needs.

Asset-Liability Management and Interest Rate Risk
The principal purpose of asset-liability management is to manage the Bank's 
sources and uses of funds to maximize net interest income under changing 
interest rate conditions.  On a monthly basis, the Bank evaluates the stability 
of the bank's net interest margins and capital position under meaningful rate 
changes.  This includes the calculation of the bank's "GAP", the difference 
between repricing assets and repricing liabilities in specific time periods. As 
of June 30, 1997, management's analysis indicated that the Bank's earnings risk 
was within acceptable guidelines and that mismatched positions are short term 
in nature.
