EXCHANGE NATIONAL BANCSHARES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) Nine Months Ended September 30, 1998 and 1997 Exchange National Bancshares, Inc. ("Bancshares" or the "Company") is a bank holding company registered under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956. Bancshares' activities currently are limited to ownership of the outstanding capital stock of The Exchange National Bank of Jefferson City (ENB) and Union State Bancshares, Inc.(Union) which owns 100% of Union State Bank and Trust of Clinton (USB). Bancshares acquired Union on November 3, 1997. The acquisition of Union was accounted for as a purchase transaction. Accordingly, the results of operations of Union have been included in the condensed consolidated financial statements since acquisition. A summary of unaudited pro forma combined financial information for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1997 for Bancshares and Union as if the transaction had occurred on January 1, 1997 is as follows: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, 1997 September 30, 1997 Net interest income $ 3,613,343 $10,589,551 Net income 1,064,979 2,767,860 Basic earnings per share 1.48 3.85 Bancshares adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings Per Share, on December 31, 1997. Due to the fact Bancshares has no dilutive instruments, basic earnings per share and dilutive earnings per share are equal. Earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by 718,511, the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1998 and 1997. On January 1, 1998 Bancshares adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income (SFAS 130), which established standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components (revenues, expenses, gains and losses) in a full set of general-purpose financial statements. For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, unrealized holding gains and losses on investments in debt and equity securities available-for-sale were Bancshares' only other comprehensive income component. Comprehensive income for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1998 and 1997 is summarized as follows: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, ______________________ ________________________ 1998 1997 1998 1997 __________ __________ ___________ ___________ Net income $1,141,150 993,632 3,235,442 2,967,465 Other comprehensive income: Net unrealized holding gains (losses) on investments in debt and equity securities available-for-sale 246,190 98,462 321,695 78,015 Adjustment for net securities (gains) losses realized in net income, net of applicable income taxes -- -- (4,089) 1,772 246,190 98,462 317,606 79,787 ___________ __________ ___________ __________ Comprehensive income $1,387,340 1,092,094 3,553,048 3,047,252 =========== ========== =========== ========== In February 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 132, Employers' Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits (SFAS 132), which revises employers' disclosures about pension and other postretirement benefit plans. SFAS 132 does not change the measurement or recognition of those plans and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. The Company will present the revised information in its December 31, 1998 consolidated financial statements. The adoption of SFAS 132 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial condition or results of operations. In June 1998, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS 133). SFAS 133 establishes standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. It requires an entity to recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure those instruments at fair value. SFAS 133 is effective for all fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999. Earlier application of SFAS 133 is encouraged but should not be applied retroactively to financial statements of prior periods. The Company is currently evaluating the requirements and impact of SFAS 133. In October 1998, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 134, Accounting for Mortgage-Backed Securities Retained after the Securitization of Mortgage Loans Held for Sale by a Mortgage Banking Enterprise (SFAS 134) which conforms the subsequent accounting for securities retained after the securitization of mortgage loans by a mortgage banking enterprise with the subsequent accounting for securities retained after the securitization of other types of assets by a nonmortgage banking enterprise. SFAS 134 is effective for the first fiscal quarter beginning after December 15, 1998. Since the Company does not securitize any mortgage loans, SFAS 134 will have no impact on the Company's consolidated financial position and results of operations. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments which in the opinion of management are necessary in order to make those statements not misleading. Certain amounts in the 1997 condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the 1998 condensed consolidated presentation. Such reclassifications have no effect on previously reported net income. Operating results for the period ended September 30, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 1998. It is suggested that these condensed consolidated interim financial statements be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements included in its 1997 Annual Report to Shareholders under the caption "Consolidated Financial Statements" and incorporated by reference into its Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1997 as Exhibit 13.

THE WORDS "SHOULD", "EXPECT", "ANTICIPATE", "BELIEVE", "INTEND", "MAY", "HOPE", "FORECAST" AND SIMILAR EXPRESSIONS MAY IDENTIFY FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS. 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, 1997, AS WELL AS THOSE DISCUSSED ELSEWHERE IN THE COMPANY'S REPORTS FILED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION. Net income for the three months ended September 30, 1998 of $1,141,000 increased $148,000 when compared to the third quarter of 1997. Earnings per common share for the third quarter of 1998 of $1.59 increased 21 cents or 15.2% when compared to the third quarter of 1997. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 of $3,235,000 increased $268,000 when compared to the first nine months of 1997. The inclusion of Union's results in the third quarter and first nine months of 1998 contributed approximately $177,000 and $429,000, respectively, to consolidated net income. The following table provides a comparison of fully taxable equivalent earnings, including adjustments to interest income and tax expense for interest on tax-exempt loans and investments.

Interest expense on debt related to the acquisition of Union contributed 20 basis points to the overall decline in net interest margin. The remaining 29 basis point decline represents a general narrowing of margins. The provision for loan losses for the three months ended September 30, 1998 was $178,000 compared to $225,000 for the same period of 1997. Noninterest income and noninterest expense for the three month periods ended September 30, 1998 and 1997 were as follows: (Dollars expressed in thousands) Three Months Ended September 30, Increase(decrease) ________________ __________________ 1998 1997 Amount % _______ _______ ________ ________ Noninterest Income Service charges on deposit accounts $ 285 179 106 59.2 % Trust department income 140 59 81 137.3 Mortgage loan servicing fees 103 81 22 27.2 Gain on sales of mortgage loans 39 41 (2) (4.9) Credit card fees 26 92 (66) (71.7) Other 66 39 27 69.2 _______ _______ _______ $ 659 491 168 34.2 % ======= ======= ======= Noninterest Expense Salaries and employee benefits $ 1,359 854 505 59.1 % Occupancy expense 139 87 52 59.8 Furniture and equipment expense 205 121 84 69.4 FDIC insurance assessment 17 7 10 142.9 Advertising and promotion 96 103 (7) (6.8) Postage, printing, and supplies 130 83 47 56.6 Legal, examination, and professional fees 46 55 (9) (16.4) Credit card expenses 19 80 (61) (76.3) Credit investigation and loan collection expenses 46 52 (6) (11.5) Amortization of intangible assets 197 11 186 1690.9 Other 323 211 112 53.1 _______ _______ _______ $ 2,577 1,664 913 54.9 % ======= ======= ======= Noninterest income increased $168,000 or 34.2% to $659,000 for the third quarter of 1998 compared to $491,000 for the same period of 1997. The inclusion of Union's results in the third quarter of 1998 represented approximately $133,000 of the increase in noninterest income. The inclusion of Union represents $98,000 of the increase in service charges on deposit accounts, $17,000 of the increase in trust department income and $14,000 of the increase in other income. Excluding the increase attributable to Union, trust department income increased $64,000 or 108.5% due to partial distributions and closings of several accounts at ENB. Mortgage loan servicing fees increased $22,000 or 27.2% due to the increased amount of loans being serviced this year. The $66,000 or 71.7% decrease in credit card fees reflected ENB's decision to change its merchant credit card operations provider which also resulted in a corresponding decrease in credit card expenses. Noninterest expense increased $913,000 or 54.9% to $2,577,000 for the third quarter of 1998 compared to $1,664,000 for the third quarter of 1997. Approximately $788,000 or 86.3% of the total increase in noninterest expense reflected the inclusion of Union's results in the third quarter of 1998. The remaining $125,000 represents an 7.5% increase in noninterest expense as compared to the third quarter of 1997 and primarily related to increased salaries and employee benefits. Excluding the increase attributable to Union, salaries and employee benefits increased $161,000 or 18.9% compared to the third quarter of 1997. This increase resulted from ENB's establishment of an executive incentive program and the adjustment of salaries to market levels. Amortization of intangible assets increased $186,000 or 1690.9% to $197,000 for the third quarter of 1998 compared to $11,000 for the third quarter of 1997. In addition to the increase included in Union's operating results, the Company incurred $38,000 of expense related to the amortization of consulting/noncompete agreements associated with the acquisition of Union during the third quarter of 1998 with no similar amount in 1997. Income taxes as a percentage of earnings before income taxes as reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements was 33.3% for the third quarter of 1998 compared to 32.5% for the third quarter of 1997. After adding a fully taxable equivalent adjustment to both income taxes and earnings before income taxes for tax exempt income on loans and investment securities, the fully taxable equivalent ratios of income taxes as a percentage of earnings before income taxes were 38.6% for the third quarter of 1998 and 37.0% for the third quarter of 1997. NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 Net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis increased $2,913,000 or 33.6% to $11,587,000 or 3.70% of average earning assets for the first nine months of 1998 compared to $8,674,000 or 4.24% of average earning assets for the same period of 1997. Interest expense on debt related to the acquisition of Union contributed 21 basis points to the overall decline in net interest margin. The remaining 33 basis point decline represents a general narrowing of margins. The provision for loan losses for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 was $523,000 compared to $525,000 for the same period of 1997. Noninterest income and noninterest expense for the nine month periods ended September 30, 1998 and 1997 were as follows: (Dollars expressed in thousands) Nine months Ended September 30, Increase(decrease) ________________ __________________ 1998 1997 Amount % _______ _______ ________ ________ Noninterest Income Service charges on deposit accounts $ 780 526 254 48.3 % Trust department income 412 151 261 172.9 Mortgage loan servicing fees 295 236 59 25.0 Gain on sales of mortgage loans 196 94 102 108.5 Net gain (loss) on sales and calls of debt securities 6 (3) 9 300.0 Credit card fees 85 272 (187) (68.8) Other 176 125 51 40.8 _______ _______ _______ $ 1,950 1,401 549 39.2 % ======= ======= ======= Noninterest Expense Salaries and employee benefits $ 4,053 2,599 1,454 55.9 % Occupancy expense 381 246 135 54.9 Furniture and equipment expense 596 391 205 52.4 FDIC insurance assessment 52 21 31 147.6 Advertising and promotion 268 245 23 9.4 Postage, printing, and supplies 413 255 158 62.0 Legal, examination, and professional fees 251 200 51 25.5 Credit card expenses 58 231 (173) (74.9) Credit investigation and loan collection expenses 134 117 17 14.5 Amortization of intangible assets 597 32 565 1765.6 Other 923 520 403 77.5 _______ _______ _______ $ 7,726 4,857 2,869 59.1 % ======= ======= ======= Noninterest income increased $549,000 or 39.2% to $1,950,000 for the first nine months of 1998 compared to $1,401,000 for the same period of 1997. Approximately $390,000 or 71.0% of the increase in noninterest income reflected the inclusion of Union's results in the first nine months of 1998. The entire increase in service charges on deposit acoounts is directly attributable to Union's inclusion as is $61,000 of the increase in trust department income and $43,000 of the increase in other income. The remainder of the increase primarily reflected an increase in trust department income at ENB, which included a large estate distribution fee as well as fees on other partial distributions and closed trust accounts. Gains on sales of mortgage loans increased $102,000 or 108.5% due to an increase in volume of loans originated and sold to the secondary market from $15,111,000 for the first nine months of 1997 to $42,134,000 for the first nine months of 1998. The $187,000 or 68.8% decrease in credit card fees reflected ENB's decision to change its merchant credit card operations provider which also resulted in a significant decrease in credit card expenses. Noninterest expense increased $2,869,000 or 59.1% to $7,726,000 for the first nine months of 1998 compared to $4,857,000 for the first nine months of 1997. Approximately $2,330,000 or 81.2% of the total increase in noninterest expense reflected the inclusion of Union's results in the first nine months of 1998. The remaining $539,000 represents an 11.1% increase in noninterest expense as compared to the first nine months of 1997 and primarily related to increased salaries and employee benefits. Excluding the increase attributable to Union, salaries and employee benefits increased $436,000 or 16.8% compared to the first nine months of 1997. This increase resulted from ENB's establishment of an executive incentive program and the adjustment of management salaries to market levels. Amortization of intangible assets increased $565,000 to $597,000 for the first nine months of 1998 compared to $32,000 for the first nine months of 1997. In addition to the increase included in Union's operating results, the Company incurred $113,000 of expense related to the amortization of consulting/noncompete agreements associated with the acquisition of Union during the first nine months of 1998 with no similar amount in 1997. Income taxes as a percentage of earnings before income taxes as reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements was 33.4% for the first nine months of 1998 compared to 32.5% for the first nine months of 1997. After adding a fully taxable equivalent adjustment to both income taxes and earnings before income taxes for tax exempt income on loans and investment securities, the fully taxable equivalent ratios of income taxes as a percentage of earnings before income taxes were 38.8% for the first nine months of 1998 and 36.8% for the first nine months of 1997. NET INTEREST INCOME The increases in fully taxable equivalent net interest income for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1998 compared to the same periods in 1997 primarily reflect the inclusion of Union's results in the 1998 periods, net of interest expense on debt issued in connection with the acquisition of Union. Approximately $948,000 and $1,898,000 of the total increase in fully taxable equivalent net interest income for the three and nine month periods, respectively, reflected Union's net interest income, net of acquisition debt interest expense. The following table presents average balance sheets, net interest income, average yields of earning assets, and average costs of interest bearing liabilities on a fully taxable equivalent basis for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1998 and 1997.

Such adjustments totaled $431,000 in 1998 and $296,000 in 1997. Provision and Allowance for Loan Losses 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. The 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 what 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. See additional discussion concerning nonperforming loans under "Financial Condition." The allowance for loan losses was increased by net loan recoveries of $22,000 for the first quarter of 1998, reduced by net loan charge-offs of $99,000 for the second quarter of 1998 and reduced by net charge-offs of $66,000 for the third quarter of 1998. That compares to net charge-offs of $86,000 for the first quarter of 1997, $270,000 for the second quarter of 1997, and $39,000 for the third quarter of 1997. The allowance for loan losses was increased by a provision charged to expense of $173,000 for the first quarter of 1998, $172,000 for the second quarter of 1988 and $178,000 for the third quarter of 1998. That compares to $125,000 for the first quarter of 1997, $175,000 for the second quarter of 1997 and $225,000 for the third quarter of 1997. The balance of the allowance for loan losses was $4,294,000 at September 30, 1998 compared to $3,914,000 at December 31, 1997 and $2,437,000 at September 30, 1997. The allowance for loan losses as a percent of outstanding loans was 1.51% at September 30, 1998 compared to 1.40% at December 31, 1997 and 1.27% at September 30, 1997. FINANCIAL CONDITION Total assets increased $9,971,000 or 2.2% to $460,663,000 at September 30, 1998 compared to $450,692,000 at December 31, 1997. Total liabilities increased $7,495,000 or 1.8% to $415,080,000 and stockholders' equity increased $2,475,000 or 5.7% to $45,583,000. Loans, net of unearned income, increased $5,186,000 or 1.9% to $283,886,000 at September 30, 1998 compared to $278,700,000 at December 31, 1997. Commercial loans increased $9,498,000 or 10.5%; real estate construction loans decreased $14,205,000 or 41.8%; real estate mortgage loans increased $8,370,000 or 7.6%; and consumer loans increased $1,523,000 or 3.4%. Nonperforming loans, defined as loans on nonaccrual status, loans 90 days or more past due, and restructured loans totaled $840,000 or 0.29% of total loans at September 30, 1998 compared to $1,117,000 or 0.40% of total loans at December 31, 1997. Detail of those balances plus repossessions is as follows: (Dollars expressed in thousands) September 30, 1998 December 31, 1997 _________________ _________________ % of % of Gross Gross Balance Loans Balance Loans _______ _____ _______ _____ Loans on nonaccrual status - Commercial $ 44 .02% $ 111 .04% Real Estate: Construction 251 .09 385 .14 Mortgage 192 .07 274 .10 Consumer 59 .02 57 .02 ______ ____ ______ ____ 546 .19 827 .30 ______ ____ ______ ____ Loans 90 days or more past due - Commercial 36 .01 48 .02 Real Estate: Construction -- -- -- -- Mortgage 153 .05 112 .04 Consumer 16 .01 30 .01 ______ ____ ______ ____ 205 .07 190 .07 ______ ____ ______ ____ Restructured loans 89 .03 100 .03 ______ ____ ______ ____ Total nonperforming loans 840 .29% 1,117 .40% ==== ==== Other real estate 145 295 Repossessions 38 101 ______ ______ Total nonperforming assets $1,023 $1,513 ====== ====== The allowance for loan losses was 511.21% of nonperforming loans at September 30, 1998 compared to 350.40% of nonperforming loans at December 31, 1997. It is the Company's policy to discontinue the accrual of interest income on loans when the full collection of interest or principal is in doubt, or when the payment of interest or principal has become contractually 90 days past due unless the obligation is both well secured and in the process of collection. 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. Interest on loans on nonaccrual status at September 30, 1998 and 1997, which would have been recorded under the original terms those loans, was approximately $36,000 and $28,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Approximately $4,000 and $8,000 was actually recorded as interest income on such loans for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. 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 September 30, 1998 included in the table above, which were considered "impaired", management has identified additional loans totaling approximately $7,222,000 which are not included in the nonaccrual table above but are considered by management to be "impaired". Management believes that the loans are well secured and all have performed according to their contractual terms during the first nine months of 1998. The $7,768,000 of loans identified by management as being "impaired" reflected various commercial, commercial real estate, real estate, and consumer loans ranging in size from approximately $2,000 to approximately $2,900,000. The average balance of nonaccrual and other "impaired" loans for the first nine months of 1998 was approximately $6,200,000. At September 30, 1998 the allowance for loan losses on impaired loans was $558,000 compared to $225,000 at December 31, 1997. As of September 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997 approximately $1,234,000 and $2,928,000, respectively, of loans not included in the nonaccrual table above or identified by management as being "impaired" were classified by management as having more than normal risk. Investments in debt and equity securities classified as available-for-sale decreased $6,862,000 or 8.8% to $71,561,000 at September 30, 1998 compared to $78,423,000 at December 31, 1997. Investments classified as available-for-sale are carried at fair value. At December 31, 1997 the market valuation account for the available-for-sale investments of $192,000 increased the amortized cost of those investments to their fair value on that date and the net after tax increase resulting from the market valuation adjustment of $121,000 was reflected as a separate positive component of stockholders' equity. During 1998, the market valuation account was increased $504,000 to $696,000 to reflect the fair value of available-for-sale investments at September 30, 1998 and the net after tax increase resulting from the change in the market valuation adjustment of $318,000 increased the stockholders' equity component to $438,000 at September 30, 1998. Investments in debt securities classified as held-to-maturity increased $2,769,000 or 7.3% to $40,503,000 at September 30, 1998 compared to $37,734,000 at December 31, 1997. Investments classified as held-to-maturity are carried at amortized cost. At September 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997 the aggregate fair value of Bancshares' held-to-maturity investment portfolio was approximately $605,000 and $313,000, respectively, more than its aggregate carrying value. Cash and cash equivalents, which consist of cash and due from banks and Federal funds sold, increased $7,236,000 or 21.1% to $41,588,000 at September 30, 1998 compared to $34,352,000 at December 31, 1997. That increase primarily reflected an increase of $4,380,000 from investment activities and an increase of $5,945,000 in securities sold under agreement to repurchase. Premises and equipment increased $3,015,000 or 34.8% to $11,670,000 at September 30, 1998 compared to $8,655,000 at December 31, 1997. The increase reflected expenditures for premises and equipment of $3,395,000 and depreciation expense of $380,000. The expenditures for premises and equipment primarily reflected construction costs for renovating and expanding ENB's main bank building located in downtown Jefferson City and the purchase of a new core processing system for ENB. The renovation and expansion project is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 1999 and its cost is anticipated to not exceed $5,000,000. Total deposits increased $4,420,000 or 1.2% to $364,806,000 at September 30, 1998 compared to $360,386,000 at December 31, 1997. Demand deposits decreased $1,251,000 due to normal fluctuations and time deposits increased $5,670,000. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase increased $5,945,000 to $27,439,000 at September 30, 1998 compared to $21,494,000 at December 31, 1997 due primarily to funds obtained from the Jefferson City School district. The increase in stockholders' equity reflects net income of $3,235,000 less dividends declared of $1,078,000, and $318,000 in unrealized holding gains on investments in debt and equity securities available-for-sale. No material changes in the Company's liquidity or capital resources have occurred since December 31, 1997. Year 2000 Compliance Bancshares is committed to taking the necessary steps to enable both new and existing systems, applications and equipment to effectively process transactions up to and beyond Year 2000. To that end, Bancshares is well underway with its Year 2000 readiness program, having spent approximately $500,000 to date. The total cost of the program is currently estimated at $700,000, comprised of capital improvements of $600,000 and direct expense of $100,000. The capital improvements will be charged to expense in the form of depreciation expense or lease expense, generally over a period of 60 months. Because of such ongoing readiness efforts, Year 2000 processing issues and risks are not expected to have a material adverse impact on the ability of Bancshares to continue its general business operations. Currently, Bancshares and its subsidiaries have substantially completed the following Year 2000 program initiatives: Completed a comprehensive analysis of current functions which might be impacted by Year 2000 issues and documented the results in a Year 2000 Assessment Report; Developed and implemented a detailed plan to address Year 2000 issues as identified, particularly as they pertain to software and hardware applications; Surveyed outside vendors to determine the degree of preparedness for the Year 2000 to uncover potential issues arising from such business counter parties; Raised organizational awareness not only with top management, but also at the staff level, and involved relevant business group leaders in reaching solutions; Implemented an ongoing purchasing/procurement plan which is responsive to Year 2000 concerns. The risk of failures of computer applications, systems and networks due to improper Year 2000 data processing are substantial, not only for users of information technologies, but also for any entities and individuals which interact with them. Moreover, when aggregated, multiple individual malfunctions and failures relating to Year 2000 issues can potentially cause broader, systemic disruptions across industries and economies. The risks arising from Year 2000 issues which face many companies, including Bancshares, include the potential diminished ability to respond to the needs and expectations of customers in a timely manner, and the potential for inaccurate processing of information. In recognition of these risks, Bancshares is focusing on mission critical applications in order that programming changes and equipment upgrades are largely completed, and that testing is underway, by December 31, 1998. In addition, Bancshares has begun developing contingency plans to complement the Year 2000 readiness efforts already in progress, including backup and offsite processing of certain information and functions. Bancshares anticipates that such contingency plans will provide an additional level of security to it Year 2000 efforts already underway. The foregoing discussion of Year 2000 issues is based on current estimates of the management of Bancshares as to the amount of time and costs necessary to remediate and test the computers systems of Bancshares. Such estimates are based on the facts and circumstances existing at this time, and were derived utilizing multiple assumptions of future events, including, but not limited to, the continued availability of certain resources, third-party modification plans and implementation success, and other factors. However, there can be no guarantee that these estimates will be achieved, and actual costs and results could differ materially from the costs and results currently anticipated by Bancshares. Specific factors that might cause such material differences include, but are not limited to, the availability and cost of personnel trained in this area, the ability to locate and correct all relevant computer code, the planning and modification success attained by the business counter parties of Bancshares, and similar uncertainties.
