                  Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                                  (Unaudited)

                            June 30, 1997 and 1996

(1)  HMN FINANCIAL, INC.

The consolidated financial statements included herein are for HMN Financial
Inc. (HMN), Security Finance Corporation (SFC), HMN Mortgage Services, Inc.,
Home Federal Savings Bank (the Bank)  and the Bank's wholly owned subsidiary,
Osterud Insurance Agency, Inc.  All significant intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.  

(2)  BASIS OF PREPARATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements were prepared in
accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q and therefore, do not include all
disclosures necessary for a complete presentation of the consolidated balance
sheets, consolidated statements of income, consolidated statements of
stockholders' equity and consolidated statements of cash flows in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.  However, all adjustments
consisting of only normal recurring adjustments which are, in the opinion of
management, necessary for the fair presentation of the interim financial
statements have been included.  The statements of income for the three month
period and six month period ended June 30, 1997 are not necessarily
indicative of the results which may be expected for the entire year.

Certain amounts in the consolidated financial statements for prior periods
have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation. 

(3)  NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128, EARNINGS PER SHARE.  SFAS
No. 128 establishes standards for computing and presenting earnings per share
(EPS) and applies to entities with publicly held common stock or potential
common stock.  The Statement simplifies the standards for computing earnings
per share previously found in APB Opinion No. 15, EARNINGS PER SHARE, and
makes them comparable to international EPS standards.  It replaces the
presentation of primary EPS with a presentation of basic EPS.  It also
requires dual presentation of basic and diluted EPS on the face of the income
statement for all entities with complex capital structures and requires a
reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation
to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS computation.  

Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to
common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares
outstanding for the period.  Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that
could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were
exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of
common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity.  Diluted EPS is
computed similarly to fully diluted EPS pursuant to APB Opinion No. 15.  The
Statement is effective for financial statements issued for periods ending
after December 15, 1997.  Management is currently studying the impact of
adopting SFAS No. 128.   

In July 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 130, REPORTING COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
which establishes standards of disclosure and financial statement display for
reporting total comprehensive income and the individual 

                                       7


components thereof.  Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity
(net assets) of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and
other events and circumstances from nonowner sources.  It includes all
changes in equity during a period except those resulting from investments by
owners and distributions to owners.  As used in SFAS No. 130, the term
comprehensive income thus encompasses net income.  The term OTHER
COMPREHENSIVE INCOME refers to components of comprehensive income that are
excluded from net income under generally accepted accounting principles. 
Comprehensive income may be presented in any of the following financial
statements: in a separate statement of comprehensive income; in a statement
of changes in equity; or below the total of net income or loss in the income
statement.   SFAS No. 130 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 1997, with earlier application permitted.  Comparative
statements for previous years must be reclassified, although reclassification
adjustments are not required to be shown for such earlier periods. 
Management is currently studying the impact of adopting SFAS No. 130.

In July 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, DISCLOSURES ABOUT SEGMENTS OF AN
ENTERPRISE AND RELATED INFORMATION which establishes new standards for
determining a reportable segment and for disclosing information regarding
each such segment.  The amount of each segment item reported should be the
measure reported to the chief operating decision maker for purposes of making
decisions about allocating resources to the segment and assessing its
performance.  Adjustments and eliminations made in preparing an enterprise's
general-purpose financial statements and allocations of revenues, expenses ,
and gains or losses should be included in determining reported segment profit
or loss only if they are included in the measure of the segments's profit or
loss that is used by the chief operating decision maker.  Similarly, only
those assets that are included in the measure of the segment's assets that is
used by the chief operating decision maker should be reported for that
segment.  SFAS No. 131 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December
15, 1997, with earlier application encouraged.  Management is currently
studying the impact of adopting SFAS No. 131.

(4) SECURITIES HELD TO MATURITY

During the first quarter of 1997, HMN determined that it no longer had the
intent to hold its securities classified as held to maturity to the actual
maturity date of the securities.  Therefore it sold one security and on March
31, 1997 it transferred all the remaining securities in the held to maturity
portfolio to the available for sale portfolio.  The following information
summarizes the sale and transfer of the securities held to maturity during
1997.

month periods ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 were computed by dividing net
income for each period ($1,332,220 and $1,533,084, respectively) by the
weighted average common shares and common share equivalents outstanding
(3,915,302  and 4,580,792, respectively) during each period.  Fully diluted
earnings per common share and common share equivalents for the three months
ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 were computed by dividing net income for the
period ($1,332,220 and $1,533,084, respectively) by the weighted average
common shares and fully diluted common share equivalents outstanding
(3,943,053 and 4,600,976, respectively) during each period.  

Primary earnings per common share and common share equivalents for the six
month periods ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 were computed by dividing net
income for each period ($2,806,700 and $3,119,775, respectively) by the
weighted average common shares and common share equivalents outstanding
(3,921,455  and 4,673,506, respectively) during each period.  Fully diluted
earnings per common share and common share equivalents for the six months
ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 were computed by dividing net income for the
period ($2,806,700 and $3,119,775, 

                                    8


respectively) by the weighted average common shares and fully diluted common
share equivalents outstanding (3,956,422  and 4,697,742, respectively) during
each period.  

(6)  REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered
by the federal banking agencies.  Failure to meet minimum capital
requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional
discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct
material effect on HMN's financial statements.  Under capital adequacy
guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the
Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures
of the Bank's assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as
calculated under regulatory accounting practices.  The Bank's capital amounts
and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the
regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.

Quantitative measures established by regulations to ensure capital adequacy
require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the
table on the following page) of Tangible, Core, and Risk-based capital (as
defined in the regulations) to total assets (as defined).  At June 30, 1997
Management is of the opinion that the Bank meets all capital adequacy
requirements to which it is subject.

Management believes that based upon the Bank's capital calculations at June
30, 1997 and other conditions consistent with the Prompt Corrective Actions
Provisions of the OTS regulations, the Bank would be categorized as well
capitalized.

At June 30, 1997 the Bank's capital amounts and ratios are presented for
actual capital, required capital, and excess capital including amounts and
ratios in order to qualify as being well capitalized under the Prompt
Corrective Actions regulations:

(7)  STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
           
During January of 1997, with Board authorization and approval from the Office
of Thrift Supervision (OTS), HMN purchased a total of 224,334 shares of its
own common stock from the open market for $4.1 million.  All shares were
placed in treasury stock.    

On June 30, 1997, HMN announced its intention to purchase up to 300,000
shares of its own common stock in the open market over the next twelve month
period.  

(8) PENDING ACQUISITION

On July 1, 1997, HMN Financial, Inc. and Marshalltown Financial Corporation
(MFC), the thrift holding company for Marshalltown Savings Bank, FSB, entered
into a definitive agreement to merge.  Under the agreement, HMN will acquire
in a cash transaction valued at $25.9 million, or $17.51 per share, all
outstanding shares of MFC's common stock.  The agreement is subject to
regulatory approvals, as well as approval of MFC's shareholders, a process
that is expected to be completed by the end of the year.   At June 30, 1997,
MFC's consolidated balance sheet had total assets of $127.5 million of which
$63.4 million were in loans receivable, net and $56.1 million were investment
securities or mortgage-backed securities.  MFC's deposits totaled $106.4
million and stockholders' equity totaled $20.1 million.

                              HMN FINANCIAL, INC.
 
Item 2:              MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
               OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL

HMN's net income is dependent primarily on its net interest income, which is
the difference between interest earned on its loans and investments and the
interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities.  Net interest income is
determined by (i) the difference between the yield earned on interest-earning
assets and rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities (interest rate spread)
and (ii) the relative amounts of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing
liabilities.  HMN's interest rate spread is affected by regulatory, economic
and competitive factors that influence interest rates, loan demand and
deposit flows.  Net interest margin is calculated by dividing net interest
income by the average interest-earning assets and is normally expressed as a
percentage.  Net interest income and net interest margin are affected by
changes in interest rates, the volume and the mix of interest-earning assets
and interest-bearing liabilities, and the level of non-performing assets. 
HMN's net income is also affected by the generation of non-interest income,
which primarily consists of gains from the sale of securities, gains from
sale of loans, service charges, fees and other income.  In addition, net
income is affected by the level of operating expenses and establishment of a
provision for loan losses.

The operations of financial institutions, including the Bank, are
significantly affected by prevailing economic conditions, competition and the
monetary and fiscal policies of governmental agencies.  Lending activities
are influenced by the demand for and supply of housing, competition among
lenders, the level of interest rates and the availability of funds.  Deposit
flows and costs of funds are influenced by prevailing market rates of
interest primarily on competing investments, account maturities and the
levels of personal income and savings in the market area of the Bank.

NET INCOME
              
HMN's net income for the second quarter of 1997 was $1.3 million, or $0.34
primary earnings per share, a decrease of $201,000, or 13.1% compared to net
income of $1.5 million, or $0.34 primary earnings per share for the  second
quarter of 1996.  The decrease in net income was principally due to a
decrease of $126,000 in net interest income, a decrease of $79,000 in non-
interest income and an increase of $143,000 in non-interest expense.  Primary
earnings per share for the second quarter of 1997 remained the same as the
second quarter of 1996 despite a decrease in net income because HMN purchased
972,404 shares of its own common stock in the open market from April 1, 1996
through  January 31, 1997.   

Net income for the six-month period ended June 30, 1997 was $2.8 million, or
$0.72 primary earnings per share, a decrease of $313,000, or 10.0%, compared
to $3.1 million, or $0.67 primary earnings per share, for the same six month
period of 1996. The decrease in net income was principally due to a decrease
of $163,000 in net interest income, a decrease of $82,000 in non-interest
income and an increase of $274,000 in non-interest expense.  Primary earnings
per share for the six month period ended June 30, 1997 increased by $0.05
compared to the same period in 1996 despite a decrease in net income between
the periods because HMN purchased 1,094,119 shares of its own common stock in
the open market from January 1, 1996 through January 31, 1997.
   
NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income for the second quarter of 1997 was $3.9 million, a
decrease of $126,000, or 3.2%, compared to $4.0 million for the same quarter
of 1996.  Interest income for the second quarter of 1997 was $10.2 million,
an increase of $222,000, or 2.2%, compared to $9.9 million for the same
quarter of 1996.  The increase in interest income was primarily due to the
purchase of loans that were partially funded by the sale of lower yielding
investment securities.  Average interest-earning assets were $547.7 million
for the 

                                    11


second quarter of 1997, an increase of $8.8 million compared to average
interest-earning assets of $538.9 million for the same quarter of 1996. 
Interest expense for the second quarter of 1997 was $6.3 million an increase
of $349,000, or 5.9%, compared to $5.9 million for the same quarter of 1996. 
The increase in interest expense was caused primarily by an increase in
average interest-bearing liabilities.  Average interest-bearing liabilities
for the second quarter of 1997 were $474.6 million, an increase of $23.9
million, or 5.3%, compared to $450.7 million for the second quarter of 1996.
The majority of the funds received from the  increase in interest-bearing
liabilities were used to purchase the net increase in average interest-
bearing assets, facilitate the HMN stock repurchases, and purchase loan
servicing assets.      

Net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 1997 was $7.7 million,
a decrease of $163,000, or 2.1%, from $7.9 million for the same period of
1996.   Interest income for the six month period ended June 30, 1997 was
$20.1 million, an increase of $330,000, or 1.7%, compared to $19.7 million
for the same period of 1996.  The increase in interest income was primarily
due to the purchase of loans that were partially funded by the sale of lower
yielding investment securities.  Average interest-earning assets were $542.9
million for the six months ended June 30, 1997, an  increase of $8.1 million
compared to average interest-earning assets of $534.8 million for the same
period of 1996.  Interest expense for the six month period ended June 30,
1997 was $12.3 million, an increase of $493,000, or 4.2%, compared to $11.8
million for the same period of 1996.  The increase in interest expense was
caused primarily by an increase in average interest-bearing liabilities. 
Average interest-bearing liabilities for the six month period ended June 30,
1997 were $469.2 million, an increase of $23.1 million, or 5.2%, compared to
$446.1 million for the same period of 1996. The majority of the funds
received from the increase in interest-bearing liabilities were used to
purchase the net increase in average interest-bearing assets, facilitate the
HMN stock repurchases, and purchase loan servicing assets. 

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

The provision for loan losses for the second quarters ended June 30, 1997 and
1996 were both $75,000.  The provision for loan losses for the six months
ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 were both $150,000.  The provision is the result
of management's evaluation of the loan portfolio, a historically low level of
non-performing loans, minimal loan charge-off experience, and its assessment
of the general economic conditions in the geographic area where properties
securing the loan portfolio are located.  Management's evaluation did not
reveal conditions that would cause it to increase the provision for loan
losses during 1997 compared to 1996.  Future economic conditions and other
unknown factors will impact the need for future provisions for loan losses. 
As a result, no assurances can be given that increases in the allowance for
loan losses will not be required during future periods.     

A reconciliation of HMN's allowance for loan losses is summarized as follows:

                              1997                  1996

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

NON-INTEREST INCOME

Non-interest income for the second quarter of 1997 was $406,000, a decrease
of $79,000, or 16.3%, from $485,000 for the same quarter of 1996.  The
decrease in non-interest income was principally due to a decrease of $155,000
in gain on the sale of securities and was partially offset by increased fee
income of $19,000 and an increase in gain on the sale of loans of $62,000. 
Economic conditions and certain market conditions reduced the ability to sell
securities at a gain during the second quarter of 1997 compared to the same
period in 1996.

                                       12



Non-interest income for the six months ended June 30, 1997 was $1.1 million,
a decrease of $82,000, or 6.9%, from $1.2 million for the same period of
1996.  The decrease was principally due to a $384,000 decrease in gain on the
sale of securities and was partially offset by a $37,000 increase in fee
income, a $210,000 increase in gain on sale of loans, and a $55,000 increase
in other income.  The increased income recognized on the sale of loans is the
direct result of increased mortgage banking activity.  The increase in other
income for the six months ended June 30, 1997 compared to the same period in
1996 was principally due to an increase in commissions earned by Osterud
Insurance Agency, which is a subsidiary of the Bank. 
 
NON-INTEREST EXPENSE

Non-interest expense was $2.1 million for the second quarter of 1997, an
increase of $143,000, or 7.2%, from $2.0 million for the second quarter of
1996.  The majority of the increase in non-interest expense between the two
quarters was due to a $260,000, or 23.6%, increase in compensation and
benefits and was the result of adding new employees, plus normal merit and
salary increases.  Besides the increase in compensation, occupancy also
increased $37,000 between the two quarters.  These increases were partially
offset by a $156,000 decrease in federal deposit insurance premiums for the
second quarter of 1997 compared to the second quarter of 1996.  The decrease
in premium expense is the result of the Savings Association Insurance Fund
(SAIF) now being fully funded.  

Non-interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 1997 was $4.2 million,
an increase of $274,000, or 6.9%, from $4.0 million for the six months ended
June 30, 1996.  The principal cause for the increase in non-interest expense
between the two periods was due to a $470,000, or 21.3%, increase in
compensation and benefits expense and was the result of adding new employees
and normal merit and salary increases.  Occupancy also increased $81,000 for
the six-month period ended June 30, 1997 compared to the same period ended
June 30, 1996 partially because of continued remodeling of offices.   These
increases were partially offset by a $307,000 decrease in federal deposit
insurance premiums between the two periods because the SAIF insurance fund is
now fully funded.

INCOME TAX EXPENSE

Income tax expense was $740,000 for the second quarter of 1997, a decrease of
$148,000, or 16.6%, from $888,000 for the second quarter of 1996.  The
decrease is primarily due to a decrease in taxable income between the two
quarters.  Income tax expense was $1.7 million for the six month period ended
June 30, 1997, a decrease of $206,000, or 11.1%, from $1.9 million for the
same period in 1996.

LIQUIDITY

For the six months ended June 30, 1997, the net cash provided from operating
activities was $4.7 million and net cash used for investing activities was
$10.8 million.  For the same period, HMN had $33.7 million in proceeds from
the sale of securities and it collected another $23.8 million from principal
payments and the maturity of securities.  HMN purchased $60.4 million of
securities during the first six months of 1997.  HMN also received proceeds
from the sale of loans of $25.3 million and purchased or originated
additional net loans of $29.6 million.  During the first six month period of
1997, the Bank also purchased an additional interest in a mortgage servicing
partnership for $1.9 million.  During the first six months of 1997, deposits
increased by $2.9 million and Federal Home Loan Bank advances showed a net
increase $8.29 million.  During January 1997, HMN also repurchased 224,334
shares of its own common stock for $4.1 million. 

*HMN has certificates of deposit with outstanding balances of $169.9 million
maturing during the next 12 months. Based upon past experience, management
anticipates that the majority of the deposits will renew for the same or
similar terms.  Any funds lost from deposits which do not renew will be
replaced with deposits

                                    13


from other customers, advances from the FHLB, or the sale of securities. 
Management does not anticipate that it will have a liquidity problem
resulting from maturing deposits.

*HMN has entered into an agreement to purchase all of the outstanding stock
of Marshalltown Financial Corporation, a unitary thrift holding company, for
$25.9 million in cash.  The transaction is subject to the approval of the
stockholders of Marshalltown Financial Corporation and the Office of Thrift
Supervision.  The approval is anticipated to be received by December 31,
1997.  HMN expects to fund the purchase of the Marshalltown stock from the
proceeds of the sale of securities available for sale.   

*HMN is in the process of building two new retail banking facilities in
Spring Valley and Winona, Minnesota, at an estimated aggregate cost of $3.2
million. Occupancy is scheduled for the second or third quarter of 1998 and
construction funding will come from normal cash flows or the sale of
securities.

Total non-performing assets at June 30, 1997 were $466,000, an increase of
$105,000, or 29.1%, from $361,000 at December 31, 1996.  The net increase of
$105,000 was the result of an increase of non-accruing loans and an increase
in one-to-four family foreclosed residential homes.  

ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT

*HMN's management reviews the impact that changing interest rates will have
on its net interest income projected for the twelve months following June 30,
1997 to determine if its current level of interest rate risk is acceptable. 
The following table projects the estimated impact on net interest income of
immediate interest rate changes called rate shocks.

information regarding Forward-looking Information on page 17 of this
discussion.  

                                    14


The table above is forward-looking and is only an estimate of the potential
impact that changing rates will have on net interest income.  The actual new
loan activity originated or purchased and securities purchases along with
actual deposit and borrowing activity could cause the actual net interest
income for the twelve month period to be materially different from the net
interest income projected above.  

HMN continues to focus its fixed-rate one-to-four family residential loan
program on loans with contractual terms of 20 years or less.  HMN also
originates and purchases adjustable rate mortgages which have initial fixed
rate terms of one to five years and then adjust annually each year
thereafter.

Refer to page 16 for table.

The following table sets forth the interest rate sensitivity of HMN's assets
and liabilities at June 30, 1997, using certain assumptions that are

The preceding table was prepared utilizing the following assumptions
regarding prepayment and decay ratios which were determined by management
based upon their review of historical prepayment speeds and future prepayment
projections.  Fixed rate loans were assumed to prepay at annual rates of
between 5% to 24%, depending on the coupon and period to maturity. 
Adjustable Rate Mortgages (ARMs) were assumed to prepay at annual rates of
between 3% and 12%, depending on coupon and the period to maturity.  Growing
Equity Mortgage (GEM) loans were assumed to prepay at annual rates of between
8% and 27% depending on the coupon and the period to maturity.  Mortgage-
backed securities and Collateralized Mortgage Obligations (CMOs) were
projected to have prepayments based upon the underlying collateral securing
the instrument.  Certificate accounts were assumed not to be withdrawn until
maturity.  Passbook and money market accounts were assumed to decay at an
annual rate of 20%.

Certain shortcomings are inherent in the method of analysis presented in the
foregoing table.  Although certain assets and liabilities may have similar
maturities and periods of repricing, they may react in different degrees to
changes in market interest rates.  The interest rates on certain types of
assets and liabilities may fluctuate in advance of changes in market interest
rates, while interest rates on other types of assets and liabilities may lag
behind changes in market interest rates.  Certain assets, such as ARMs, have
features which restrict changes in interest rates on a short-term basis and
over the life of the asset.  In the event of a change in interest rates,
prepayment and early withdrawal levels would likely deviate significantly
from those assumed in calculating the foregoing table.  The ability of many
borrowers to service their debt may decrease in the event of an interest rate
increase.

FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

The following statements within Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations contain forward-looking
statements and actual future results may differ materially from the
expectations disclosed within this discussion and analysis.  The following
are forward-looking statements followed by comments of events which may
prevent the forward-looking statements from occurring:

     LIQUIDITY
     
     HMN has certificates of deposit with outstanding balances of $169.9
     million maturing during the next 12 months.  Based upon past experience,
     management anticipates that the majority of the deposits will renew for
     the same or similar terms.  Any funds lost from deposits which do not
     renew will be replaced with deposits from other customers, advances from
     the FHLB, or the sale of securities.  Management does not anticipate
     that it will have a liquidity problem resulting from maturing deposits. 
     

     Competitive pricing by other institutions, the desire of a competitor to
     pay interest rates on deposits that are above the current rates paid by
     HMN, or a desire by customers to put more of their funds into
     nontraditional bank products such as stocks and bonds could be
     circumstances that would cause the $169.9 million of certificates that
     mature to become a liquidity problem.

     HMN has entered into an agreement to purchase all of the outstanding
     stock of Marshalltown Financial Corporation, a unitary thrift holding
     company, for $25.9 million in cash.  The transaction is subject to the
     approval of the stockholders of Marshalltown Financial Corporation and
     the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS).  The approval is anticipated to
     be received by December 31, 1997.  HMN expects to fund the purchase of
     the Marshalltown stock from the proceeds of the sale of securities
     available for sale.   

     The approval may not be received by December 31, 1997 if Marshalltown's
     shareholders do not approve the transaction or if the OTS is not able to
     timely review or approve the transaction due to some unforeseen
     regulatory issue.  

                                      17


     The funding for the purchase of Marshalltown may not come from the sale
     of securities if the market value of the securities decrease drastically
     from the current market value at June 30, 1997.  Changes in economic
     conditions could cause interest rates to rise rapidly which could cause
     a drastic decrease in the market value of the security portfolio.  

     HMN is in the process of building two new retail banking facilities in
     Spring Valley and Winona, Minnesota, at an estimated aggregate cost of
     $3.2 million.  Occupancy is scheduled for the second or third quarter of
     1998 and construction funding will come from normal cash flows or the
     sale of securities.   

     The anticipated occupancy date could change based upon delays related to
     the acquisition of the land for the Winona building site.  Delays
     experienced by the contractors for the delivery of construction
     materials or weather related issues could also cause the occupancy date
     for Spring Valley and Winona to be later in 1998.

     ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT

     HMN's management reviews the impact that changing interest rates will
     have on its net interest income projected for the twelve months
     following June 30, 1997 to determine if its current level of interest
     rate risk is acceptable.  The following table projects the estimated
     impact on net interest income of immediate interest rate changes called
     rate shocks.

     The table above is forward-looking and is only an estimate of the
     potential impact that changing rates will have on net interest income. 
     The actual new loan activity originated or purchased and securities
     purchases along with actual deposit and borrowing activity could cause
     the actual net interest income for the twelve month period to be
     materially different from the net interest income projected above.
