        Nonperforming loans at March 31, 1996, were $744 thousand compared to
$504 thousand at December 31, 1995.  The breakdown of nonperforming loans was
nonaccrual loans of $259 thousand at March 31, 1996, as compared to the
December 31, 1995, balance of $300 thousand and loans past due ninety days or
more of $484 thousand and $205 thousand at March 31, 1996, and December 31,
1995.  Nonperforming loans as a percent of loans, net of unearned income, was 
 .82% at March 31, 1996, as compared to .55% at December 31, 1995. The increase
in ninety days or more past due of $279 is primarily related to deliquencies
in residential mortgages along with agriculture related credits.

        The allowance for possible loan losses was $726 thousand at March 31,
1996, compared to $764 thousand at March 31, 1995.  The ratio of the allowance
for possible loan losses to loans, net of unearned income and loans held for
sale, decreased to .80% at March 31, 1996, as compared to .90% at March 31,
1995.  Management regularly reviews the level of the allowance for possible
loan losses and is of the opinion that it is adequate at March 31, 1995.  The
Company experienced net chargeoffs for the first three months of 1996 of $48
thousand as compared to $12 thousand for the same period in 1995.

        Other real estate decreased to at $28 thousand compared to $259 thousand
at December 31, 1995 due to the sale of property that was acquired as part of
the Natchez First Federal acquisition. This property had a carrying value of
$240 thousand.

        Management determines the classification of its securities at
acquisition.  Securities that are deemed to be held to maturity are accounted
for by the amortized cost method.  Securities to be held to maturity increased
$2.4 million to $49.2 million at March 31, 1996, as compared to $46.8 million
at December 31, 1995.  Equity securities at March 31, 1996, comprised of
Federal Home Loan Bank Stock of $239 thousand and Federal Reserve Bank Stock
of $958 thousand remained constant. There were no securities held for sale at
either period.

        The Company's cash and cash equivalents remained stable at $5.1 million
at March 31, 1996 compared to $4.7 million at December 31, 1995. Cash provided
by operating and financing activities increased by $.2 million and $2.3
million respectively while investing activities used $2.1 million. 

        Deposits increased by $2.0 million from a December 31, 1995 balance of
$128.6 million to $130.6 million at March 31, 1996.

        Stockholder's equity increased to $15.9 million at March 31, 1996,
compared to $15.4 million at the end of 1995.  The ratio of Stockholder's
equity to assets increased to 10.30% at March 31, 1996, compared to 10.13% at
the end of 1995, due to growth in retained earnings.



        The Company maintained a Tier 1 capital to risk weighted assets ratio at
March 31, 1996, of 18.67%, a total capital to risk weighted assets ratio of
19.52% and a leverage ratio of 10.45%.  These levels exceed the minimum
requirements of the regulatory agencies of 4.00%, 8.00% and 3.00%
respectively.


        Results of Operations

        First Quarter of 1996 Compared to the First Quarter of 1995

        Net income decreased by 4% to $505 thousand from $526 thousand and
earnings per share decreased from $1.19 per share to $1.14 per share for the
first three months of 1996 compared to the same period in 1995 respectively.
Management of the bank believes that the ability of the bank to compete
successfully in the future will depend on its ability to provide customers
with an electronic method to conduct all or some of their banking business. in
keeping with this strategy, the bank, as of March 31, 1996, has invested $47
thousand in the development of electronic banking and expects to invest a
total of approximately $120 thousand to complete this project.  Accounting
guidelines provide that the majority of this expense be charged against
current income and not capitalized.  Other items related to net income
remained relatively stable.

        The returns on average assets and average equity for the first quarter
of 1996 were 1.33% and 12.86%, respectively, while the returns were 1.39% and
14.58%, respectively, for the comparable period in 1995.

        Average earning assets ended the first quarter of 1996 at $143.9 million
compared to $143.3 million for the same period in 1995.  Average rates on
earning assets moved upward from 7.53% to 7.93% during the same period. This
was primarily due to an overall increase in interest rates along with a shift
from lower yielding investment securities, created through maturities, to
higher yielding loans.  The combination of these factors produced an increase
in interest income of $152 thousand for the period ended March 31, 1996
compared to the same period in 1995.  Average rates paid on interest bearing
liabilities increased from 4.21% for the three months ended March 31, 1995 to
4.53% for the same period in 1996.  Interest expense increased to $1.32
million from $1.24 million due to an overall increase in rates coupled with
decreased volume of $625 thousand of interest bearing liabilities.  These
factors produced an increase in net interest income of $66 thousand for the
same comparable periods.

        The reserve for loan losses was increased by $50 thousand in the first
quarter of 1996 as compared to $25 thousand for the same period in 1995,
reflecting management's expectations for a reduction in loan recoveries in the
current year.

      Other income decreased to $341 thousand for the three month period
ending March 31, 1996, from $364 thousand for the same period in 1995.  This
decrease is primarily attributable to a scheduled $18 thousand decrease in 
amortization of negative goodwill.  

        Other operating expense remained stable at $1.1 million for the three
month period ended March 31, 1996.

        The combination of all the above factors produced a pretax income of
$754 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 1996, as compared to $752
thousand for the same period in 1995.

        Income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 1996, were $248
thousand as compared to $227 thousand for the same period in 1995.
