ITEM 5.  OTHER EVENTS

          ACQUISITION OF CNS BANCORP, INC. AND CITY NATIONAL
SAVINGS BANK, FSB.  On June 16, 2000, the Registrant, Exchange
National Bancshares, Inc., completed its acquisition of CNS
Bancorp, Inc., a Delaware corporation and savings and loan
holding company, and City National Savings Bank, FSB, a federal
savings association and wholly-owned subsidiary of CNS Bancorp.

          Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated
October 27, 1999, which agreement is identified as Exhibit 2.1
hereto and is incorporated herein by reference, CNS Bancorp was
merged with and into ENB Holdings, Inc., a Missouri corporation
and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Registrant, with ENB Holdings
continuing as the surviving corporation.  In addition, City
National Savings Bank was merged with and into The Exchange
National Bank of Jefferson City, a national banking association
that is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Registrant, with
Exchange National Bank continuing as the surviving depository
institution of this merger.

          As a result of the acquisition, the former shareholders
of CNS Bancorp are entitled to receive $8.80 in cash and 0.30 of
a share of the Registrant's common stock for each share of CNS
Bancorp common stock held at the effective time of the merger.
At the time of the merger, the merger consideration had a total
value of approximately $25,771,860, which includes approximately
$12,740,000 in cash and approximately 425,000 shares of the
Registrant's common stock paid to the former shareholders of CNS
Bancorp and includes approximately $281,860 in cash paid to the
former holders of CNS Bancorp stock options.  The Registrant
funded 100% of the cash merger consideration from the
Registrant's own funds.

          Immediately prior to the acquisition, City National
Savings Bank engaged in a general banking business, accepting
funds for deposit, making loans and performing the other usual
and customary banking services.  City National Savings Bank had
three banking facilities located in Jefferson City, Missouri, one
banking facility located in California, Missouri, one other
banking facility located in Tipton, Missouri, and one banking
facility located in St. Roberts, Missouri.  As of May 31, 2000,
City National Savings Bank had total assets of approximately
$86,963,000.  Exchange National Bank will continue to engage in
the general banking business formerly engaged in by City National
Savings Bank prior to the acquisition.  Exchange National Bank
intends to close two of the banking facilities formerly owned by
City National Savings Bank that are located in Jefferson City.

          The summary of the Agreement and Plan of Merger
mentioned above is not complete and is qualified in its entirety
by reference to the complete text of such document, which is
incorporated herein by reference.

          EXCHANGE NATIONAL BANCSHARES STOCK APPROVED FOR QUOTATION
ON THE NASDAQ NATIONAL MARKET.  Effective June 19, 2000, the
