  ITEM 1.   BUSINESS

     (A)    General Description of Business
            -------------------------------

     Homeland Bankshares Corporation ("Homeland") is a multi-bank holding
  company incorporated in Iowa in 1981 and registered under the Bank Holding
  Company Act of 1956, as amended.  Based on total assets of $1,232,907,000 at
  December 31, 1995, Homeland was the second largest multi-bank holding company
  headquartered in Iowa, and the seventh largest multi-bank holding company
  conducting business in Iowa.  

     From 1981 until 1994, the company was known as Iowa National Bankshares
  Corp.  Effective December 31, 1994, the company changed its name to Homeland
  Bankshares Corporation, and all of the company's operating subsidiaries
  adopted corporate names that reflected the "Homeland" trademark.  

     Homeland operates four wholly-owned commercial banks, one wholly-owned
  savings and loan association, and three wholly-owned subsidiaries which
  provide retail financial services.  At December 31, 1995, Homeland and its
  subsidiaries had 502 full-time and 115 part-time employees.  

     Homeland Bank, N.A., Waterloo, became a subsidiary of Homeland pursuant to
  the terms of a plan of reorganization which was consummated on December 31,
  1981.  The bank is the successor bank to a national bank which was originally
  organized in 1933 under the laws of the United States.  The bank is engaged
  in the general commercial banking business providing full-service banking to
  individuals and businesses, and also offers correspondent banking services to
  over 170 financial institutions throughout Iowa.  Based on total assets of
  $579,150,000 at December 31, 1995, Homeland Bank, N.A. was the largest
  commercial bank headquartered in Waterloo, and the fifth largest bank in
  Iowa. 

     Homeland Savings Bank, FSB and its parent thrift holding company, Homeland
  Financial Corporation (formerly MidAmerica Financial Corporation), were
  acquired by Homeland on June 1, 1994.  Homeland Savings Bank, FSB is a
  federally chartered savings and loan association which is the successor to a
  savings and loan which was originally organized in 1905.  Homeland Savings
  Bank, FSB provides banking services primarily in the Des Moines, Waterloo,
  Cedar Rapids, and Iowa City banking markets.  Based on total assets of
  $381,319,000 at December 31, 1995, it was the fourth largest thrift
  institution headquartered in Iowa.  

     Homeland Bank in Indianola, which was acquired by Homeland on December 31,
  1986, is an Iowa banking corporation which was originally chartered in 1919. 
  Based on total assets of $125,942,000 at December 31, 1995, the bank was the
  largest full-service commercial bank in its principal market area of Warren
  County, Iowa.  Warren County is adjacent to Des Moines, which is Iowa's
  largest city in terms of population.  

     Homeland Bank in Oelwein, which was acquired by Homeland on December 31,
  1988, is an Iowa banking corporation and successor to a state bank originally
  chartered in 1946.  At December 31, 1995, the bank had total assets of
  $90,705,000, making it the largest commercial bank in its principal market
  area of Fayette County, which is located in the northeast section of Iowa.  

     Homeland Bank in Monticello, which was acquired by Homeland on April 23,
  1990, is an Iowa banking corporation and successor to a state bank originally
  chartered in 1875.  Based on total assets of $141,462,000 at December 31,
  1995, the bank was the largest commercial bank in its primary market area of
  Jones County, located in the east-central portion of Iowa.  

     Homeland Trust Company is an Iowa corporation formed in 1987 as a wholly-
  owned subsidiary of Homeland Savings Bank, FSB.  The company, which is
  located in Des Moines, provides personal and commercial trust services.  
     
     Homeland Student Loan Company is an Iowa corporation formed in 1987, and
  is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Homeland Savings Bank, FSB.  The company,
  which is located in West Des Moines, originates and services government-
  sponsored student loans for Homeland and for other financial institutions
  located throughout Iowa and surrounding states.  

     Homeland Investment Company is an Iowa corporation formed in 1994 as a
  wholly-owned subsidiary of Homeland Bank in Indianola.  The company provides
  securities brokerage services and engages in the sale of various insurance
  products for all Homeland banks through a third-party relationship.  

     Statistical data and financial information related to Homeland's business
  and operations are found under Items 6, 7, and 8 of this report.  

     (B)    Competition and Iowa Banking Law 
            -------------------------------- 

     The commercial banking business in Iowa is highly competitive.  Homeland
  and its subsidiaries are in direct competition with other commercial banks,
  savings and loan associations, credit unions, brokerage firms, finance
  companies, insurance companies, and other financial institutions.  
   
     Iowa's banking laws regarding interstate banking and interstate branching
  are currently more restrictive than those of most other states.  Prior to
  1991, Iowa banking law prohibited interstate banking altogether, except for
  certain grandfathered rights extended to the largest bank holding company
  conducting business in Iowa, Norwest Corporation, which is headquartered in
  Minnesota.  Since January 1, 1991, Iowa banking law has been less restrictive
  by allowing limited interstate banking by permitting financial institutions
  whose operations are principally conducted in Illinois, Missouri, Nebraska,
  South Dakota, Minnesota, or Wisconsin to conduct business in Iowa by
  acquiring an existing Iowa banking organization.  Conversely, Iowa financial
  institutions may expand operations into Iowa's six neighboring states,
  provided such expansion is accomplished by acquisition rather than by
  branching.  Since the law was enacted in 1991, a number of Iowa-based
  financial institutions have been acquired by out-of-state bank holding
  companies including Firstar Corporation, Boatmen's Bancshares, Inc.,
  Mercantile Bancorporation Inc., First Bank System, Inc., and Community First
  Bankshares, Inc.  

     Interstate branching by out-of-state banks into Iowa is still expressly
  prohibited by Iowa statutes.  Iowa also currently has a deposit concentration
  limit of 10% on the amount of deposits that any one banking organization can
  control and continue to acquire banks, which applies to both in-state and
  out-of-state banks.  Iowa also has a 35% limit on the aggregate amount of
  deposits all out-of-state banking organizations can control within Iowa.  

     As with its laws regarding interstate banking and branching, Iowa's
  intrastate branching statutes are also rather restrictive when compared with
  those of other states.  Generally, bank branch offices may only be operated
  or acquired in counties contiguous to or cornering upon the county in which
  the bank has its principal place of business.  Also, a bank in Iowa may not
  establish a new branch office in a city in which there exists an office of
  another bank, other than by acquisition of an existing office or bank. 
  Furthermore, the number of bank branch offices allowed within a municipal
  corporation or an urban complex is limited to four offices in populations of
  100,000 or less, five offices in populations of over 100,000 to 200,000, and
  six offices in areas with populations over 200,000.  However, some of Iowa's
  intrastate branching limitations regarding geographic location of branch
  offices and the number of branch offices which may be established in an urban
  complex may be overcome by merging two or more affiliated banking
  organizations that have been in continuous operation in Iowa for at least
  five years into a "united community bank." 

     In September 1994, Congress passed interstate banking and branching
  legislation which permitted nationwide interstate banking effective September
  29, 1995, and subject to ratification by each particular state, would permit
  interstate bank branching and would increase each state's deposit
  concentration limit to 30% effective June 1, 1997.  If Iowa elects to do so,
  it may continue to 1) limit the means by which an out-of-state bank may
  acquire a bank within the state, 2) prohibit out-of-state banks from
  branching into the state, and 3) set its own deposit concentration limit. 
  Management believes that Iowa is likely to adopt legislation that would be
  equivalent to the federal bank branching statutes.  However, if Iowa were to
  continue its restrictive posture toward future interstate banking and
  branching operations, Homeland, nevertheless, has the ability to enter new
  markets both inside and outside Iowa by utilizing its thrift subsidiary,
  Homeland Savings Bank, FSB.  As a savings and loan institution, Homeland
  Savings Bank, FSB presently has the distinct advantage of not being subject
  to branching limitations imposed upon banks operating in Iowa.  Since savings
  and loans currently have virtually unlimited nationwide branch office
  expansion capabilities, Homeland is capable of expanding geographically.  

     During 1995, Congress proposed federal legislation which would require
  thrift institutions to convert to banks by January 1, 1998, and relinquish
  certain branching capabilities.  The likelihood of proposed federal or Iowa
  legislation being enacted and any related competitive impact upon Homeland is
  uncertain at this time.  

     (C)    Regulation and Governmental Policies 
            ------------------------------------ 

     Homeland and its subsidiaries, as affiliates, are subject to regulation by
  the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.  Homeland Bank, N.A.,
  as a national bank, is supervised and regularly examined by the Office of the
  Comptroller of the Currency.  Homeland Savings Bank, FSB, as a federally-
  chartered savings and loan institution, is supervised and regularly examined
  by the Office of Thrift Supervision.  The Homeland Banks in Indianola,
  Oelwein, and Monticello, as state-chartered nonmember banks of the Federal
  Reserve System, are supervised and regularly examined by the Iowa Division of
  Banking and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.  These banking
  regulators have capital adequacy guidelines which stipulate that minimum
  capital-to-asset ratios be maintained.  At December 31, 1995, Homeland and
  each of its subsidiaries were in compliance with those capital standards.  

     The operations and profitability of Homeland and its subsidiaries are
  influenced by general economic conditions (particularly those in the
  midwestern United States), fiscal and monetary policies of the federal
  government and its agencies, and banking statutes and legislation at both the
  federal and state levels.  Specifically, federal fiscal and monetary policies
  affect interest rates and the availability of funds, while banking
  legislation frequently changes the competitive environment of the banking
  industry.  Just as future governmental policies and legislation cannot be
  predicted, neither can the effects of such events be accurately determined.

  ITEM 7.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND 
            RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


  FINANCIAL REVIEW

     This financial review section presents management's discussion and
  analysis of Homeland Bankshares Corporation ("Homeland") for 1995, 1994, and
  1993.  It is provided to enable a better understanding of the significant
  factors affecting Homeland's operations.  This financial review should be
  read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements, accompanying
  notes, and the financial statistics presented elsewhere within this Form 10-K.

  ===========================================================================


  EARNINGS ANALYSIS

  PERFORMANCE SUMMARY

     Homeland reported consolidated net earnings for 1995 of $13,621,000, the
     highest in the company's history.  This represented an 11.1% increase over 
     1994 net earnings of $12,261,000.  The increase in net income also improved
     earnings per share to $2.37 from $2.14 the previous year.  Net income in 
     1993 was $12,020,000 with per share earnings of $2.11.

  -----------------------------------------------------------------------

  NET INCOME PER SHARE                         $2.37     $2.14     $ 2.11
  =======================================================================

     Earnings during 1995 benefited from increases in net interest income and
  noninterest income, but were partially offset by higher loan loss provision
  and noninterest expenses.  Solid loan growth and improvement in nonperforming
  assets also contributed to the higher 1995 financial results.  Increases in
  net interest income similarly benefited 1994 earnings compared to 1993, as
  well as a reduction in the loan loss provision for that year; however,
  increased noninterest expenses held down 1994 net income to a modest 2.0%
  increase over 1993.

     Comparisons of 1995 results of operations with prior years are
  significantly affected by the addition of MidAmerica Financial Corporation
  ("MidAmerica") which was acquired by Homeland on June 1, 1994.  MidAmerica's
  total assets at its acquisition date were $356 million.  The cash acquisition
  was accounted for as a purchase, and therefore, the results of operations of
  MidAmerica are only included subsequent to the date of acquisition. 
  MidAmerica provided $616,000 and $606,000 to Homeland's consolidated net
  income during 1995 and 1994, respectively, increasing consolidated earnings
  per share by $.11 each year.

  RETURN ON AVERAGE EQUITY                   11.27%    10.86%     11.30%
  ======================================================================

     Homeland's return on average assets was 1.11% in 1995, compared to 1.15%
  and 1.36% in 1994 and 1993, respectively.  This ratio was lowered
  significantly following Homeland's thrift acquisition in 1994 as savings
  institutions typically operate with a lower return on assets than do
  commercial banks.

     Return on average equity is another standard measurement that indicates
  how effectively a company has generated earnings on the capital invested by
  its shareholders.  Homeland's return on average equity was 11.27% in 1995
  compared to 10.86% in 1994 and 11.30% in 1993.  Homeland's relatively high
  equity-to-assets ratio, while providing a solid foundation for the company to
  operate from, has served to restrain the company's return on equity over the
  last few years.  The equity-to-assets ratios at December 31, 1995 and 1994
  were 10.33% and 9.64%, respectively.  Management continues to search for
  profitable uses for its excess capital.


  NET INTEREST INCOME

     Net interest income is the excess of the interest and fees received on
  interest earning assets over the interest expense paid on interest bearing
  liabilities, while taxable-equivalent net interest income includes an
  adjustment to ensure that interest income on taxable and nontaxable assets is
  comparable.  Net interest income totaled $47,676,000 in 1995, $41,656,000 in
  1994, and $34,845,000 in 1993.  Taxable-equivalent net interest income was
  $48,653,000 in 1995, $42,923,000 in 1994, and $36,290,000 in 1993.  

     Homeland has experienced substantial growth in net interest income from a
  combination of earning assets growth and effective management of overall
  interest rate sensitivity and liquidity.  During 1995, a 15.1% growth in
  average earning assets offset a modest seven basis point reduction in net
  interest margin and resulted in a 14.5% increase in net interest income. 
  Although a significant part of the earning asset growth was due to the
  inclusion of MidAmerica balances since June 1, 1994, net interest income also
  benefited as lower-yielding securities matured and were reinvested into
  higher-yielding quality loans.


  NET INTEREST SPREAD AND MARGIN

  (Taxable-equivalent basis)                    1995      1994      1993
  ----------------------------------------------------------------------

  Yield on interest earning assets             8.30%     7.50%     7.25%
  Rate on interest bearing liabilities         4.60      3.66      3.33
  ---------------------------------------------------------------------
  NET INTEREST SPREAD                          3.70      3.84      3.92
  Noninterest bearing funds contribution        .62       .55       .60
  ---------------------------------------------------------------------

  NET INTEREST MARGIN                          4.32%     4.39%     4.52%
  ===================================================================== 


     Net interest spread is the difference between the yield on interest
  earning assets and the rate paid on interest bearing liabilities, while net
  interest margin includes the benefit of noninterest bearing funds. 
  Management attempts to maintain an appropriate mixture of interest sensitive
  assets and liabilities to stabilize net interest income in times of volatile
  market interest rates.  From a declining market interest rate environment in
  1993, short-term market rates increased dramatically during 1994 by as much
  as 300 basis points, and then beginning early in 1995 began to ease back,
  until by the end of 1995 they had fallen by approximately 100 basis points
  from their earlier peak.  Homeland's net interest margin declined from 4.52%
  in 1993 to 4.39% in 1994 and 4.32% in 1995.

     The net interest margin decline was largely attributable to Homeland's
  thrift acquisition in mid-1994, since savings institutions generally operate
  at a lower net interest margin than commercial banks.  Although MidAmerica's
  substantially lower net interest margin of 4.13% in 1994 and 3.75% in 1995
  had an initial negative effect on Homeland's consolidated net interest
  margin, Homeland is compensated by the earnings growth potential gained
  through the thrift's capabilities of entering new markets currently
  unavailable to commercial banks in Iowa.

  ===================================================================== 

     Management's ability to provide diversified financial services to its
  customers has created steady growth in noninterest income.  Total noninterest
  income increased by 20.6% in 1995 to $11,665,000 from $9,676,000 in 1994 due
  mainly to the inclusion of a full year of MidAmerica's noninterest income. 
  During 1994, noninterest income showed an increase of $399,000 or 4.3% over
  1993.  As a percentage of average assets, noninterest income improved to .95%
  in 1995 after a decline in 1994 to .90% from 1.05% in 1993.

     Data processing service fees remained relatively stable at $2,511,000,
  $2,529,000, and $2,452,000 for 1995, 1994, and 1993, respectively.  Homeland
  provides data processing and correspondent banking services to over 170
  financial institutions from its main processing center in Waterloo and from a
  satellite location in Des Moines. 

     Trust revenues increased by 10.0% to $2,450,000 during 1995 from
  $2,228,000 in 1994, after declining from $2,534,000 in 1993.  Trust fee
  income benefited from the managed asset growth during 1995 after a
  disappointing year in 1994.  Increased competition from insurance and
  brokerage companies continue to be a significant factor in restraining trust
  revenues.

     The primary reason for the higher noninterest income during 1995 was an
  increase of $814,000 in student loan servicing fees, a source of fee income
  that originated for Homeland with its acquisition of MidAmerica in mid-1994. 
  The student loan servicing fees during 1994 were $272,000, rising to
  $1,086,000 in 1995.

     Deposit account service charge income increased during 1995 and 1994 by
  $361,000 and $277,000, respectively.  Deposit account service charges have
  remained relatively stable as a percentage of average assets during the last
  three years.

     Other noninterest income increased by $562,000 or 29.1% in 1995 to
  $2,493,000.  The prior year totaled $1,931,000, increasing from $1,740,000 in
  1993.  Revenue generated from real estate loans sold on the secondary market
  contributed $916,000 to other noninterest income in 1995, $363,000 in 1994,
  and $316,000 in 1993.  The addition of a full year's mortgage operations from
  the acquired thrift was the main reason for the increase in 1995.

  =====================================================================

     Total noninterest expenses increased by $4.0 million in 1995 compared to
  1994, and $6.7 million in 1994 compared to 1993.  A significant component of
  this expense increase was the inclusion of a full year of MidAmerica's costs
  in 1995 and seven months of expense in 1994.  During 1995 and 1994,
  MidAmerica added expenses of $11,765,000 and $6,562,000, respectively.  Total
  noninterest expense as a percentage of average assets declined to 2.97% in
  1995 from 3.02% in 1994, after increasing from 2.91% in 1993.

     One measurement of effective management of cost control is the efficiency
  ratio which represents adjusted operating expenses as a percentage of
  noninterest income and net interest income on a fully taxable-equivalent
  basis.  Homeland's efficiency ratio was 57.19% for 1995, 59.75% for 1994, and
  54.69% for 1993.  The improvement during 1995 reflects management's efforts
  to reduce post-acquisition noninterest expenses through systems conversions,
  departmental consolidations, and centralization of banking functions to gain
  operating efficiencies and to improve customer services.

     Personnel costs were $18,998,000 in 1995, $16,655,000 in 1994, and
  $13,652,000 in 1993.  Excluding MidAmerica costs, personnel expenses declined
  to $13,678,000 in 1995 from $13,723,000 in 1994.  Management has controlled
  noninterest expenses related to human resources through savings realized in
  group health insurance premiums and reductions of full-time equivalent staff.

     Advertising and promotion expenses included costs associated with
  Homeland's name change in 1995 which totaled approximately $550,000.  The
  increase in 1994 from 1993 resulted from the addition of MidAmerica and its
  costs of $481,000 for the seven months of 1994.

     A significant development during 1995 was the reduction in FDIC deposit
  insurance premiums for commercial banks from $.23 per $100 of deposits to
  $.04 per $100 of deposits effective as of June 1, 1995.  This resulted in a
  $590,000 reduction in Homeland's FDIC insurance expense during 1995.  All
  Homeland institutions currently maintain a "well-capitalized" status which
  qualify them for the lowest applicable FDIC premium rates.  In addition,
  starting January 1, 1996, the commercial bank deposit premium was further
  lowered to virtually zero.

     Federal legislation has been proposed which would require the
  recapitalization of the FDIC's Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF"). 
  The proposal would assess a special one-time charge of $.85 per $100 of SAIF
  deposits, which could result in an estimated expense to Homeland of
  approximately $2,200,000 sometime in the future, and would reduce Homeland's
  future SAIF deposit insurance premiums from the present $.23 per $100 of
  deposits to as low as zero, in turn reducing Homeland's future FDIC premium
  expense by an estimated $500,000 per year.

     Homeland recognized intangible amortization expense of $2,149,000,
  $1,462,000, and $731,000 in 1995, 1994, and 1993, respectively.  The
  increased level of amortization during 1994 was a result of the MidAmerica
  acquisition.  Intangible assets consist of core deposit intangibles and
  goodwill.

     Gains from the disposition of other real estate owned resulted in net
  income of $276,000 during 1995 and $566,000 in 1994, compared to net expense
  of $52,000 in 1993.  Other real estate owned properties were reduced to a
  nominal level by the end of 1995.

     Total other noninterest expenses were $5,183,000 in 1995, a 23.1% increase
  as a full year of MidAmerica expenses were included in comparison to seven
  months of expense in 1994.  Excluding the expense of MidAmerica, other
  noninterest expenses were $2,969,000 in 1995, $3,344,000 in 1994, and
  $2,984,000 in 1993.  


  INCOME TAX EXPENSE

     Homeland's effective income tax rate increased to 38.2% in 1995, up from
  34.4% in 1994, and 32.1% in 1993.  The effective income tax rates differ from
  the marginal income tax rate of 35% primarily because of interest income on
  tax-exempt securities and loans.  Homeland's reduction of its investment in
  tax-exempt obligations, as well as the increased nondeductible amortization
  of intangible assets, have contributed to the effective rate increases.


  NEWLY-ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

     Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 121, "Accounting
  for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be
  Disposed Of," was issued in March 1995 with an effective date for fiscal
  years beginning after December 15, 1995.  This statement specifies when
  certain long-lived assets should be reviewed for impairment and how to
  measure and report an impairment loss.  Management believes that the effect
  of the statement on Homeland's consolidated financial statements will not be
  material.

     SFAS No. 122, "Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights," was issued in
  May 1995 with an effective date for fiscal years beginning after December 31,
  1995.  This statement amends SFAS No. 65 by establishing a new standard for
  capitalizing mortgage servicing rights.  Under SFAS No. 122, the accounting
  principles for mortgage servicing rights are the same for mortgages
  originated by the servicer as for those acquired through purchase
  transactions.  Accordingly, under the new statement, a bank would record an
  asset for mortgage servicing rights when it sold mortgages and retained the
  servicing.  Management believes that the effect of the statement on
  Homeland's financial statements will not be material.

     SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," was issued in
  October 1995 with an effective date for fiscal years beginning after December
  15, 1995.  This statement established financial accounting and reporting
  standards for stock-based employee compensation plans applying a fair value
  based method to measure the compensation cost.  Management believes that the
  effect of the statement on Homeland's financial statements will not be
  material.



  CREDIT RISK MANAGEMENT

  CREDIT ORIGINATION, MANAGEMENT, AND REVIEW

     The management of Homeland believes that sound lending represents a
  desirable and profitable means of employing bank funds.  During 1995,
  management upheld its objective to strengthen credit management and credit
  review, both which are essential for maintaining a quality loan portfolio.

     Credit approval functions are locally-based and include a review process
  to ensure that sound and consistent credit decisions are made.  Each credit
  request is analyzed and passed through an approval process to ensure that
  proper documentation and underwriting standards are met before credit is
  extended.  Larger transactions require higher levels of authorization,
  including review by Homeland's executive management.  Once credit has been
  extended, the borrower's financial condition is continually monitored to
  maintain credit quality.  In addition, a holding company credit review
  function reviews, tests, and monitors credit quality on an ongoing basis.

     A uniform credit risk rating system is utilized by all Homeland
  subsidiaries, allowing risk to be analyzed and controlled on a consistent
  companywide basis.  When credits reach a predetermined level of risk, they
  are placed in watch list categories and receive increased attention from
  senior management and each institution's board of directors.  This credit
  risk rating system drives the process of determining the adequacy of the
  allowance for loan losses and the amount of the provision for loan losses.


  ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

     The allowance for loan losses is a valuation reserve for estimated losses
  inherent in the loan portfolio.  Actual credit losses, net of recoveries, are
  deducted from the allowance for loan losses when they occur.  Factors
  considered in the evaluation of the allowance level include estimated future
  losses from loan agreements and obligations, deterioration in credit
  concentrations or pledged collateral, and historical loss experience, as well
  as trends in portfolio volume, composition, delinquencies, and nonaccruals. 
  Management assesses the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses of each
  subsidiary every quarter.  However, actual losses could differ significantly
  from the amounts estimated by management.

     SFAS No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan," was
  adopted January 1, 1995.  Under this standard, loans considered to be
  impaired are reduced to the present value of the expected future cash flows
  or to the fair value of collateral by allocating a portion of the allowance
  for loan losses to such loans.  If these allocations cause the allowance for
  loan losses to require increase, such increase is reported as provision for
  loan losses.  Adopting the standard resulted in no initial increase to either
  the allowance for loan losses or the provision for loan losses for Homeland.

     The balance in the reserve for loan losses was $8.6 million at December
  31, 1995, representing 1.02% of total loans and 174% of nonperforming assets. 
  At December 31, 1994, the allowance stood at $9.1 million, or 1.15% of total
  loans and 122% of nonperforming assets.  The 1993 loan loss reserve was $7.3
  million, representing 1.57% of total loans and 69% of nonperforming assets at
  December 31, 1993.  The lower allowance-to-loans percentages in 1994 and 1995
  reflect the shift in Homeland's loan composition to a higher percentage of
  consumer real estate loans that generally carry less inherent risk than do
  commercial loans. 

     Net charge offs totaled $1,420,000, $129,000, and $867,000 for the three
  years ending December 31, 1995.  As a percentage of average loans, net charge
  offs were .17% in 1995, .02% in 1994, and .20% in 1993.  Over the last five
  years Homeland's net charge offs have averaged .25% of average loans. 
  Homeland's provision for loan losses was $941,000 in 1995, $296,000 in 1994,
  and $770,000 in 1993.  The year 1994 benefited from the $665,000 recovery of
  a single commercial real estate loan which had been previously charged off.

  1995 and $1.1 million in 1994, for which there is minimal risk of loss.  
  

     Complementing Homeland's loan volume growth has been a decline in the
  level of nonperforming assets.  Nonperforming loans decreased by $2.4 million
  during 1995, including a 66% reduction in nonaccrual loans.  During 1995,
  Homeland's largest problem loan was satisfied through a negotiated sale of
  Homeland's rights which reduced total nonperforming loans by approximately $1
  million.  Nonperforming loans decreased by $3.1 million during 1994,
  primarily from loan principal paydowns.

     Expressed as a percentage of total loans and foreclosed property,
  nonperforming assets improved to .58% at December 31, 1995, compared to .94%
  and 2.28% at the end of 1994 and 1993, respectively.  Homeland's asset
  quality is a reflection of the company's community-based banking focus and
  conservative lending policies.

     If nonaccrual and restructured loans had been current in accordance with
  their original terms, interest income would have been increased by $105,000
  in 1995 and $545,000 in 1994.  In addition to nonperforming and restructured
  loans at December 31, 1995, Homeland management identified loans totaling
  $13.4 million for which payments were presently current, but the borrowers
  were experiencing financial difficulties.  These potential problem loans
  included loans that have been identified by the credit review process as
  being inadequately protected by the current worth and payment capacity of the
  borrowers, or of the collateral pledged as security.

     Foreclosed property declined to $325,000 at December 31, 1995, down from
  $356,000 and $562,000 at December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively, as
  dispositions continued to exceed new additions of foreclosed property.

     Agricultural loans are the only industry concentration that exceeded 10%
  of total loans.  At December 31, 1995, Homeland had $46.3 million of
  agricultural operating loans and $55.8 million of real estate loans secured
  by farmland, which together aggregated 12.1% of total loans.  These
  agricultural related loans included $446,000 classified by management as
  nonaccrual and $8.5 million as potential problem loans, aggregating 1.1% of
  total loans.  No agricultural related loans were restructured at December 31,
  1995.

     At December 31, 1995, Homeland had no interest earning assets, other than
  loans, that met past due, nonaccrual, restructured, or potential problem loan
  criteria.



  BALANCE SHEET ANALYSIS

  FEDERAL FUNDS AND SECURITIES

     Homeland's core deposits have historically provided adequate funding to
  satisfy customer loan demand.  Any excess funds are invested in federal funds
  sold or securities.  Also, on a daily basis, Homeland purchases federal funds
  from its respondent banks as a correspondent banking service.

     At December 31, 1995, total securities were $217.6 million compared to
  $282.5 million the prior year-end, a decrease of 23%.  Excluding the
  securities acquired in connection with the MidAmerica acquisition in 1994,
  securities declined during 1994 from 1993, by approximately 28%.  Homeland
  has downsized it securities portfolio by utilizing maturing securities to
  satisfy increased loan demand.  Homeland's securities portfolio had an
  average maturity of 1.9 years at December 31, 1995, compared to 2.3 years and
  2.5 years at December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively.

     Effective January 1, 1994, Homeland adopted SFAS No. 115, "Accounting for
  Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities," which resulted in a net
  increase to stockholders' equity of $778,000, net of deferred income taxes. 
  In November 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
  implementation guidance for SFAS No. 115.  Accordingly, on December 31, 1995,
  Homeland reclassified securities with an amortized cost of $79,680,000 and
  net unrealized gains of $952,000 from held to maturity to available for sale.

     Homeland does not engage in any speculative trading with its securities
  portfolio, nor does it hold any exotic derivative instruments which have
  recently received much attention from the financial press and regulatory
  agencies.  Management feels that while these transactions may offer benefits
  to some investors, Homeland's balance sheet is more efficiently managed with
  conventional strategies.  


  LOANS

     Management's ability to lend money at profitable rates to attract
  borrowers is greatly affected by economic conditions.  Loan growth during
  1995 benefited from the favorable economic conditions in Homeland's market
  area.  Total loans grew by 6.6% from 1994 to 1995, reaching $845 million at
  December 31, 1995.  Consumer real estate loans led all loan categories with
  an 11.3% increase, followed by consumer loans with an 8.2% growth during
  1995.  The more modest increases in commercial and commercial real estate
  loans were accompanied by an improvement in credit quality, as indicated by
  the reduced amount of nonperforming assets.  Total loans increased during
  1994 from 1993 by 70.5%, primarily due to $233 million in loans acquired with
  the MidAmerica acquisition.


  DEPOSITS

     Customer deposits are the principal source of funds available for lending
  and investing activities.  Deposit levels were up slightly from $949 million
  the previous year to $963 million at December 31, 1995.  Homeland's
  loan-to-deposit ratio increased from 84% in 1994 to 88% in 1995. 
  Supplementing the funding provided by customer deposits, Homeland utilizes a
  variety of other funding sources including Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings
  and federal funds purchased from other banks.


  BORROWINGS

     During 1995, Homeland elected to reduce its borrowing costs by extending
  $40 million of short-term borrowings to long-term debt maturing in 1997.

     Banking is an extensively regulated industry.  To maintain the
  shareholders' and customers' security, banking regulatory agencies have set
  forth capital requirements based upon the relative risk of different assets
  held by banks.  Homeland's capital ratios have consistently exceeded the
  "well-capitalized" regulatory capital requirements for financial
  institutions.  While successfully maintaining an adequate level of capital,
  Homeland has consistently paid quarterly cash dividends to its shareholders. 
  Dividends received from Homeland's subsidiaries are the primary source of
  funds available to Homeland for payment of cash dividends to its
  shareholders, for acquisitions, and for debt repayment.  State and federal
  banking regulations require minimum capital levels to be maintained and
  impose certain restrictions on the amount of cash dividends that subsidiaries
  can pay to their parent company in any given year.  At December 31, 1995,
  stockholders' equity of Homeland subsidiaries totaled $122 million, of which
  approximately $13 million was available for the payment of cash dividends to
  Homeland.

     Homeland's stockholders' equity totaled $127.3 million at December 31,
  1995, 11.0% higher than December 31, 1994.  The net unrealized gain on
  securities available for sale, net of deferred income taxes, was $622,000 at
  December 31, 1995, compared to a net unrealized loss at year-end 1994 of
  $3,287,000.  Declining market interest rates during 1995 were responsible for
  the securities portfolio market value improvement.

     Homeland's closing market trade prices were $29.75 and $23.25 at December
  31, 1995 and 1994, with book values per share of $22.18 and $19.99,
  respectively.  Homeland common stock is traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market
  under the trading symbol "HLND."

     During 1993, Homeland had a two-for-one common stock split which was the
  seventh split since Homeland was organized in 1981.  The split was effected
  in the form of a 100% stock dividend with Homeland issuing 2,839,073 new
  common shares. 

     Homeland had no commitments for any significant capital expenditures at
  December 31, 1995, and currently carries no long-term debt at the parent
  company.


  ASSET-LIABILITY MANAGEMENT

     Asset-liability management encompasses both the maintenance of adequate
  liquidity and the management of interest rate sensitivity.  Liquidity
  management involves planning to meet anticipated funding needs, while
  interest rate sensitivity management attempts to provide the optimal level of
  net interest income while managing exposure to risks associated with interest
  rate movements.


  LIQUIDITY

     Core deposits have historically provided Homeland with a major source of
  stable and relatively low cost funding.  Secondary sources of liquidity
  include federal funds sold, maturing securities and loans, securities
  available for sale, and borrowed funds.  In the normal course of business,
  Homeland banks have established short-term lines of credit for the management
  of daily liquidity needs.  At December 31, 1995, these unused lines of credit
  aggregated $111 million.

     During 1995, cash and cash equivalents increased to $119.9 million at
  year-end compared to $61.4 million at the end of 1994.  The $58 million
  increase was provided by $18 million of operating activities, $16 million of
  investing activities, and $24 million of financing activities.  An increase
  in the amount of federal funds purchased from downstream respondent banks was
  largely responsible for generating the higher level of cash and cash
  equivalents at December 31, 1995.


  INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY

     Interest rate sensitivity has traditionally been measured by gap analysis,
  which represents the difference between assets and liabilities that reprice
  in certain time periods.  This method, while useful, has a number of
  limitations as it is a static point-in-time measurement and does not take
  into account the varying degrees of sensitivity to interest rates within the
  balance sheet.  As shown in the following table, on a static-gap basis, the
  cumulative ratio of interest sensitive assets to interest sensitive
  liabilities in a one-year time frame was 1.24, and as a percentage of total
  assets was 10.29%.

     Because of the inherent limitations of gap analysis, Homeland uses an
  earnings simulation model to more realistically measure its sensitivity to
  changing interest rates.  Management monitors the rate sensitivity and
  liquidity positions on an ongoing basis and, when necessary, appropriate
  action is taken to minimize any adverse effects of rapid interest rate
  movements or any unexpected liquidity concerns.

     Fourth quarter net income was $3,669,000 in 1995 compared to $3,218,000 in
  1994, a 14.0% increase.  Net income per share comparisons were $.64 and $.56,
  respectively.  

     Net interest income increased by $305,000 for the last three months of
  1995 compared to the same three-month period in 1994 due to a higher level of
  earning assets.  Net interest margin for the fourth quarter was 4.22% in 1995
  and 4.36% in 1994.  The net interest income increase was supplemented by a
  total $954,000 benefit of higher noninterest income and lower noninterest
  expenses in the fourth quarter of 1995 compared to the same quarter in 1994;
  however, higher loan loss provision and income tax expense lowered the
  overall 1995 fourth quarter net income increase to $451,000.

     The noninterest income for the fourth quarter of 1995 included a $242,000
  increase in trust service revenue and $169,000 increase in student loan
  servicing fees compared to the 1994 fourth quarter.

     The reduction of FDIC insurance premiums totaling $334,000 was the primary
  reason for the decrease in 1995 fourth quarter noninterest expenses compared
  to the same period of 1994.  Other expense categories showing a decrease in
  the fourth quarter comparisons included equipment, supplies, advertising and
  promotion, and professional fees.  This aggregate decline of certain expenses
  was offset by higher personnel costs for the final three months of 1995 in
  comparison to the same period of 1994.

  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
  YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995, 1994, AND 1993

  1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

  Homeland Bankshares Corporation ("Homeland") is a diversified financial
  services company.  Homeland owns and operates four commercial banks and one
  savings and loan association that provide a wide variety of financial
  services through a network of 34 locations in Iowa.  Homeland also provides
  data processing and correspondent banking services to more than 170 financial
  institutions in Iowa and bordering states.  

  The accounting and financial reporting policies of Homeland and its
  subsidiaries conform with generally accepted accounting principles and
  prevailing practices within the financial services industry.  The preparation
  of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting
  principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
  the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent
  assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
  reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. 
  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  

  PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION:  The consolidated financial statements include
  the accounts of Homeland and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.  All significant
  intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.  Certain
  balances for 1994 and 1993 have been reclassified to conform with 1995
  consolidated financial statement presentation.  

  CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS:  Cash equivalents include amounts due from banks
  and federal funds sold.  For cash flow statement purposes, management
  considers all securities, including those with original maturities of three
  months or less, to be part of operating or investing activities rather than
  cash equivalents.

  SECURITIES:  Securities available for sale are reported at fair value, with
  the unrealized gains and losses reported as a separate component of
  stockholders' equity.  Available for sale securities may be sold for
  management of general liquidity needs, response to market interest rate
  fluctuations, implementation of asset-liability management strategy, funding
  increased loan demand, changes in securities prepayment risk, or other
  similar factors.  Realized gains and losses on sales are computed on a
  specific identification basis and are shown separately as a component of
  noninterest income.  

  Securities held to maturity are carried at amortized cost and consist of debt
  securities for which Homeland has the positive intent and the ability to hold
  to maturity.  Securities held to maturity are stated at cost, net of premium
  amortization and discount accretion, computed on a specific identification
  basis.  

  Effective January 1, 1994, Homeland adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
  Standards ("SFAS") No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and
  Equity Securities," which resulted in a net increase to stockholders' equity
  of $778,000, net of deferred income taxes.  In November 1995, the Financial
  Accounting Standards Board issued implementation guidance for SFAS No. 115.  
  Accordingly, on December 31, 1995, Homeland reclassified securities with an
  amortized cost of $79,680,000 and net unrealized gains of $952,000 from held
  to maturity to available for sale.  

  LOANS:  Loans are stated at the principal amounts outstanding with interest
  income recognized based upon those outstanding loan balances.  Loans are
  generally placed on nonaccrual status when principal or interest has been in
  default for a period of 90 days or more, or when collection of the loan
  principal or the related interest is otherwise considered doubtful.  At the
  time a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, accrued interest receivable is
  reversed against interest income of the current period.  Loans are returned
  to accrual status when factors indicating doubtful collectability no longer
  exist.  

  SFAS No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan," and SFAS
  No. 118, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan - Income
  Recognition and Disclosures," were adopted January 1, 1995.  Under these
  statements, loans considered to be impaired are reduced to the present value
  of expected future cash flows or to the fair value of collateral, by
  allocating a portion of the allowance for loan losses to such loans.  If
  these allocations cause the allowance for loan losses to require an increase,
  such increase is reported as provision for loan losses.  Adopting these
  standards resulted in no initial increase to either the allowance for loan
  losses or the provision for loan losses.  

  The carrying values of impaired loans are periodically adjusted to reflect
  cash payments, revised estimates of future cash flows, and increases in the
  present value of expected cash flows due to the passage of time.  Cash
  payments are reported as reductions in carrying value, while increases or
  decreases due to changes in estimates of future payments and due to the
  passage of time are reported as provision for loan losses.  

  ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES:  The allowance for loan losses is a valuation
  reserve for estimated losses inherent in the loan portfolio.  Actual credit
  losses, net of recoveries, are deducted from the allowance for loan losses
  when they occur.  Factors considered in the evaluation of the allowance level
  include estimated future losses from loan agreements and obligations,
  deterioration in credit concentrations or pledged collateral, and historical
  loss experience, as well as trends in portfolio volume, composition,
  delinquencies, and nonaccruals.  Management assesses the adequacy of the
  allowance for loan losses every quarter.  However, actual losses could differ
  significantly from the amounts estimated by management.  

  PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT:  Premises and equipment are stated at cost less
  accumulated depreciation.  Depreciation is charged to operating expense
  primarily on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the
  assets.   Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred while major
  additions and improvements are capitalized.   

  FORECLOSED PROPERTY:  Foreclosed properties consist primarily of real estate
  acquired as a result of customer loan defaults that are carried at the lower
  of the recorded investments in the defaulted loans or at fair value less
  estimated selling costs.  Losses arising at the time of acquisition of the
  properties are charged to the allowance for loan losses.  

  INTANGIBLE ASSETS:  Goodwill and core deposit intangibles arise from net
  assets acquired in purchase transactions.  Purchased assets and liabilities
  are recorded at their estimated fair values on the acquisition dates. 
  Intangible assets are reviewed for possible impairment when events or changed
  circumstances may indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be
  recoverable.  Goodwill is amortized on a straight-line basis over 15 years. 
  Core deposit intangibles are amortized on a straight-line basis over an
  average estimated life of approximately 7 years.  At December 31, 1995 and
  1994, accumulated intangible amortization was $5,453,000 and $3,304,000,
  respectively.  

  TRUST ASSETS:  Assets held by Homeland's subsidiaries in fiduciary or agency
  capacities are not included in the consolidated financial statements.  Trust
  services fee income is reported on the accrual method.  

  INCOME TAXES:  Homeland files a consolidated federal income tax return, and
  income tax expense is generally allocated as if each affiliate files a
  separate income tax return.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded
  based on differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets
  and liabilities and income tax rates currently in effect.  

  NET INCOME PER SHARE:  Net income per share calculations are based on the
  weighted average number of common shares outstanding, adjusted for stock
  splits and for common stock equivalents arising from the assumed exercise of
  outstanding stock options.

  INDUSTRY SEGMENT REPORTING:  Homeland operates principally in a single
  business segment offering general commercial banking services.  

  NEWLY-ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS:  SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the
  Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of,"
  was issued in March 1995 with an effective date for fiscal years beginning
  after December 15, 1995.  This statement specifies when certain long-lived
  assets should be reviewed for impairment and how to measure and report an
  impairment loss.  Management believes that the effect of the statement on
  Homeland's consolidated financial statements will not be material.      
  
  SFAS No. 122, "Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights," was issued in May
  1995 with an effective date for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
  1995.  This statement amends SFAS No. 65 by establishing a new standard for
  capitalizing mortgage servicing rights.  Under SFAS No. 122, the accounting
  principles for mortgage servicing rights are the same for mortgages
  originated by the servicer as for those acquired through purchase
  transactions.  Accordingly, under the new statement, a bank would record an
  asset for mortgage servicing rights when it sold mortgages and retained the
  servicing.  Management believes that the effect of the statement on
  Homeland's consolidated financial statements will not be material.  

  SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," was issued in
  October 1995 with an effective date for fiscal years beginning after December
  15, 1995.  This statement established financial accounting and reporting
  standards for stock-based employee compensation plans applying a fair value
  based method to measure the compensation cost.  Management is evaluating
  whether or not Homeland will change to the recognition provisions of SFAS No.
  123; therefore, there has been no determination of the financial effect, if
  any, of adopting SFAS No. 123 in the year ended December 31, 1996.

  3. ACQUISITION

  On June 1, 1994, Homeland acquired Homeland Savings Bank, FSB and its parent
  company, the former MidAmerica Financial Corporation ("MidAmerica"), at a
  cash purchase price of approximately $50.9 million.  The acquisition was
  accounted for as a purchase transaction with the results of MidAmerica's
  operations subsequent to the acquisition date included in Homeland's
  consolidated financial statements.  

  Included in other liabilities is $3,000,000, which was withheld from the
  purchase proceeds of MidAmerica to secure the payment of certain claims
  asserted within 24 months of the acquisition date.  Homeland will distribute
  these funds, less any reductions, together with interest on the average
  balance at the annual compound rate of 4%, to the former shareholders of
  MidAmerica on June 1, 1996.  

  The following unaudited pro forma financial information contains the results
  of operations for the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993, assuming the
  acquisition of MidAmerica had occurred on January 1, 1993.  The pro forma
  amounts are not necessarily indicative of the financial results that would
  have actually occurred had the acquisition taken place on January 1, 1993,
  nor are they necessarily indicative of future consolidated operations of
  Homeland.

  At December 31, 1995, fair values of U.S. Government Agency mortgage-backed
  securities included $38,045,000 of collateralized mortgage obligations. 
  These securities have expected average lives of 1 to 4 years and utilize
  defensive sequential payment structures to shelter cash flow streams.

  Student loan participation certificates are backed by government sponsored
  student loans and are issued through trust arrangements.  At December 31,
  1995 and 1994, there were no privately issued securities which aggregated
  more than 10% of Homeland's stockholders' equity.

  Included in realized gains was the sale of one security in 1993 from the held
  to maturity category which was sold within 90 days of maturity.  All other
  realized gains resulted from sales of securities available for sale or from
  gains related to calls of securities prior to their maturities.  

  The amortized cost and fair value of securities at December 31, 1995, are
  shown below by expected maturity.  Expected maturities differ from
  contractual maturities because issuers may have the right to call or prepay
  obligations.  Expected maturities for mortgage-backed securities are
  determined by using industry derived prepayment assumptions.

  Impairment of loans having a recorded investment of $664,000 at December 31,
  1995, has been recognized in conformity with SFAS Nos. 114 and 118.  The
  total allowance for loan losses related to these loans was $52,000.  The
  average recorded investment in impaired loans during 1995 was $2,057,000.  No
  interest income was recognized on impaired loans during 1995.  

  CREDIT RISK 

  At December 31, 1995 and 1994, Homeland had nonaccrual loans of $1,852,000
  and $5,443,000, and restructured loans of $307,000 and $296,000,
  respectively.  Total interest income that would have been recorded under the
  original terms of these loans was $247,000 in 1995 and $664,000 in 1994. 
  Actual interest income recorded from these loans was $142,000 in 1995 and
  $119,000 in 1994.  At December 31, 1995, there were no material commitments
  to lend additional funds to customers whose loans were classified as
  nonaccrual or restructured. 

  Significant portions of Homeland's loan portfolio consisted of consumer real
  estate loans, and loans related to agriculture, the primary industry in
  Homeland's market area.  In addition, a substantial amount of credit extended
  to banks include overnight federal funds sold and term bank stock loans.  
  
  Certain directors and executive officers of Homeland and its subsidiaries are
  customers of Homeland banks in the ordinary course of business.  Activity of
  aggregate loans exceeding $60,000 to such directors, executive officers, and
  their business interests during 1995 was as follows:

  officers net of the reduction of loans to persons who no longer meet the
  related party criteria.

  by certain U.S. Government securities, FHLB stock, and a blanket pledge of
  eligible consumer real estate loans, with a weighted average interest rate at
  year-end of 5.82%.  During 1995, the highest month-end balance of FHLB
  advances was $67.5 million, and the average daily balance was $51.9 million,
  with an average interest rate during 1995 of 6.18%.  In the normal course of

  10.      STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY  

  Homeland is required to ensure capital adequacy by maintaining minimum
  amounts of capital to total risk-weighted assets, as defined by the banking
  regulators.  Homeland's capital ratios have consistently exceeded the "well-
  capitalized" regulatory capital requirements for financial institutions as
  set forth in the following table:

  On August 16, 1993, Homeland had a two-for-one common stock split (effected
  in the form of a 100% stock dividend), whereby one new share of Homeland
  common stock was distributed for each share held by shareholders of record as
  of August 5, 1993.  In connection with the stock split, 2,839,073 new common
  shares were issued.  The average number of shares outstanding, net income per
  share, and dividend per share information have been retroactively restated as
  a result of the stock split.

  12. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS 

  PENSION PLAN

  Homeland has a qualified defined benefit pension plan covering all eligible
  full-time employees.  Benefits under this plan are based on years of service
  and compensation during the years immediately preceding retirement.  The
  plan's primary assets include mutual funds, fixed income mortgages, and cash
  equivalents.  Homeland's funding policy is based on an actuarially determined
  cost method allowable under Internal Revenue Service regulations.  Homeland's
  contributions to the pension plan for 1995, 1994, and 1993 were $609,000,
  $400,000, and $391,000, respectively. 

  The components of net pension expense consisted of the following: 

  (Dollars in thousands)                            1995    1994    1993

  Net pension expense                              $ 473   $ 290   $ 286
  ========================================================================

  Homeland reviews the actuarial assumptions annually and provides adjustments
  based on current economic conditions and plan characteristics.  Although the
  actual return on plan assets is shown, the expected long-term rate of return
  used in determining net periodic pension expense was 8% for all periods
  presented.  The difference between the actual return and expected return is
  included in net amortization and deferral.  For all periods presented, the
  actuarial present value of benefits was determined using a discount rate of
  7%, and the rate of compensation increase used to measure the projected
  benefit obligation was 5%.  

  The funded status of the pension plan at December 31, 1995 and 1994 was as
  follows:

  PROFIT SHARING PLAN

  Homeland has a qualified profit sharing plan covering all eligible full-time
  employees.  Contributions to the plan are made when certain consolidated
  profit conditions are achieved.  Additionally, beginning in 1995, employees
  may participate by contributing a percentage of their salary, a portion of
  which is matched by Homeland.  Total expenses for the profit sharing plan
  were $894,000, $826,000, and $962,000 in 1995, 1994, and 1993, respectively. 

  
  STOCK OPTION PLANS

  Homeland has incentive stock option plans under which 406,250 shares of
  common stock have been reserved for issuance to officers of Homeland and its
  subsidiaries.  Stock option plans are granted by the board of directors of
  Homeland for issuance at the market value of the common stock determined as
  of the date of grant.  Shares reserved for issuance under the stock option
  plans, option prices, and shares available for future option grants have been
  adjusted for stock splits.  Stock option activity during 1995, 1994, and 1993
  was as follows:

  OUTSTANDING AT DECEMBER 31, 1995                 66,100   $      23.25
  ======================================================================

  Since the inception of the incentive stock option plans, options have been
  granted and exercised for 324,779 shares.  At December 31, 1995, all 66,100
  outstanding stock options were exercisable in 1996, and 15,371 shares were
  available for future option grants until the plan governing these shares
  expires in May 1997.

  OTHER PLAN

  During 1995, Homeland implemented a supplemental retirement income plan for
  certain key executives and purchased life insurance policies to actuarially
  finance all future liabilities of the plan.  Total expense related to the
  plan was $79,000 in 1995.  


  13. ESTIMATED FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

  Estimated fair value disclosures are reported in accordance with SFAS No.
  107, "Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments."  The estimated
  fair value of securities is based primarily upon quoted market prices within
  an active market.  For the remaining financial instruments, the estimated
  fair values presented are management's estimates of the amount at which the
  instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing
  parties, based upon estimates using present value and other valuation
  methods.  As these estimates are significantly affected by the assumptions
  used, estimated fair values may not be comparable between entities, nor would
  they be realizable in an immediate liquidation of the instruments.  SFAS No.
  107 excludes certain items from its disclosure requirements.  Accordingly,
  the aggregate fair value amounts presented are not intended to represent, and
  do not represent, the underlying value of Homeland.  The carrying values and
  estimated fair values of Homeland's financial instruments at December 31,
  1995 and 1994 were as follows:

                                         1995                   1994

  CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS:  The carrying value approximates estimated fair
  value.  

  SECURITIES:  The estimated fair value of securities is based on quoted market
  prices where available.  Where not available, fair values are based on quoted
  market prices of similar securities, adjusted for any differences in credit
  ratings or maturities.  

  NET LOANS:  The estimated fair value of loans is calculated by discounting
  future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be
  made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and maturities, adjusted for
  credit and prepayment risks.  

  DEPOSITS:  The estimated fair value of demand, money market, and savings
  deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date.  The fair
  value of time deposits is estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation
  that applies rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining
  maturities.  

  FEDERAL FUNDS PURCHASED AND OTHER SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS:  The carrying value
  of federal funds purchased and other short-term borrowings approximate the
  estimated fair value.  

  LONG-TERM BORROWINGS:  The fair value of long-term borrowings is estimated
  using rates currently available for debt with similar terms and remaining
  maturities.  

  OFF-BALANCE SHEET FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:  The estimated fair value of
  commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit are estimated
  using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements.  Neither
  the fees earned during the year or the off-balance instruments' fair value at
  year-end are material.  


  14.      OFF-BALANCE SHEET FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

  Homeland engages in off-balance sheet activities to meet the financing needs
  of customers.  Such activities consist principally of commitments to extend
  credit and standby letters of credit.  Exposure to credit losses is
  represented by the contractual amounts of the commitments to extend credit or
  standby letters of credit, and credit losses may be incurred when a customer
  fails to perform in accordance with the contractual terms.  Homeland uses the
  same credit standards in making commitments and conditional obligations as it
  uses for making loans.  Collateral may be obtained if deemed necessary by
  management's credit evaluation.  Collateral held varies, but generally may
  include receivables, inventory, equipment, or real estate.  The contractual
  amounts of these financial instruments at December 31, 1995 and 1994 were as
  follows:

  (Dollars in thousands)                         1995      1994
  -----------------------------------------------------------------

  Commitments to extend credit

   Home equity lines                             28,994    21,624
   Other commitments                             32,271    21,763
  Standby letters of credit                      16,805    17,467
                                                           
  Commitments to extend credit are contractual agreements to lend money to
  customers for a specific period of time provided there is no violation of any
  condition established in the contract.  Such commitments may require payment
  of a fee.  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 letters of credit are issued on behalf of bank customers in
  connection with contracts between the customers and third parties.  Under a
  standby letter of credit, the bank assures that the third party will not
  suffer a loss if the customer fails to meet the contractual obligation. 
  Those guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing
  arrangements such as bond financing and similar transactions.  


  15.      CONTINGENCIES AND STATUTORY RESTRICTIONS

  Congress is considering legislation that would recapitalize the Savings
  Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF") of the Federal Deposit Insurance
  Corporation.  This legislation would require the SAIF to be fully capitalized
  by a special assessment levied on all SAIF-insured deposits.  Enactment of
  the proposed legislation could result in a one-time expense of approximately
  $2.2 million to Homeland in the period of such enactment, and would reduce
  Homeland's future SAIF deposit insurance premiums from the present $.23 per
  $100 of deposits to as low as zero, lowering Homeland's future FDIC premium
  expense by an estimated $500,000 per year.  

  In the normal course of business, Homeland and its subsidiaries are
  periodically involved in legal proceedings.  Management is of the opinion,
  after review with legal counsel, that there are no such actions at December
  31, 1995, that will have a material effect upon the consolidated financial
  statements.  

  The subsidiaries of Homeland are required to maintain reserve balances at the
  Federal Reserve Bank based upon deposit levels and other factors.  The
  average balances of reserves required to be maintained were $11,105,000 in
  1995 and $10,771,000 in 1994.  

  At December 31, 1995, securities with amortized cost of $52,835,000 were
  pledged to secure public deposits and for other purposes as required or
  permitted by law.  

  Dividends received from Homeland's subsidiaries are the primary source of
  funds available to Homeland for payment of dividends to its shareholders. 
  State and federal banking regulations require minimum capital levels to be
  maintained and impose certain restrictions on the amount of dividends that
  subsidiaries may pay in any given year.  At December 31, 1995, stockholders'
  equity of Homeland's subsidiaries totaled $122,327,000, of which
  approximately $13,000,000 was available for the payment of dividends to
  Homeland in accordance with these regulatory requirements.

  INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT




  To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
  of Homeland Bankshares Corporation
  Waterloo, Iowa
  

  We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Homeland
  Bankshares Corporation and its subsidiaries (Homeland) as of December 31,
  1995 and 1994, and the related consolidated statements of income, cash flows,
  and changes in stockholders' equity for each of the three years in the period
  ended December 31, 1995.  These financial statements are the responsibility
  of Homeland's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
  these 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, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all
  material respects, the financial position of Homeland as of December 31, 1995
  and 1994, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of
  the three years in the period ended December 31, 1995, in conformity with
  generally accepted accounting principles.

  MANAGEMENT'S REPORT OF FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY


  The management of Homeland Bankshares Corporation ("Homeland") is responsible
  for the preparation and integrity of the accompanying consolidated financial
  statements and all other information contained in this 1995 Annual Report on
  Form 10-K.  The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
  conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and necessarily
  include amounts that are based on management's informed judgments and
  estimates.

  To fulfill its responsibilities for the integrity of financial information,
  management maintains and relies on Homeland's systems of internal controls. 
  These systems include written policies, an organizational structure providing
  division of responsibilities, and the selection and training of qualified
  personnel.  Homeland also maintains a staff of internal auditors to review
  and evaluate the adequacy of Homeland's internal control systems and
  adherence to its policies and procedures.  Management believes that
  Homeland's internal control systems provide reasonable assurance that
  financial information is accurate, and that material errors or irregularities
  will be prevented or detected within a timely period.  

  The Board of Directors oversees financial information through an Audit
  Committee composed solely of nonmanagement directors of Homeland and its
  subsidiaries.  The Audit Committee meets regularly with Homeland's
  independent auditors, internal auditors, and management to assure that all
  are properly discharging their responsibilities.  The Audit Committee also
  approves the scope of the internal audits, and reviews any recommendations
  for improving internal accounting controls.  Homeland's independent auditors
  and internal auditors have free access to the Audit Committee, and the Audit
  Committee has free access to outside legal counsel.  The Board of Directors,
  on recommendation from the Audit Committee, appoints the independent
  auditors, Deloitte & Touche LLP.
