Exhibit 99.2  UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                NORTH CENTRAL BANCSHARES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                    VALLEY FINANCIAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES

The unaudited pro forma combined consolidated financial statements presented on
the following pages are based on the historical financial statements of North
Central and reflect the pro forma effects of the acquisition of Valley Financial
(the "Acquisition"). The Acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method
of accounting.

For purposes of the pro forma statements, the purchase price of Valley Financial
has been allocated to the acquired net assets based on information currently
available with regard to the values of such net assets. Pro forma adjustments
have been made only for those assets and liabilities which, based solely on
preliminary estimates, may have fair values significantly different from
historical amounts. As such, final adjustments to recorded amounts may differ
significantly from the pro forma adjustments presented herein. 

The unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of income for the nine months
ended September 30, 1997 and the year ended December 31, 1996 were prepared as
if the Acquisition had occurred as of the beginning of the respective periods
for the purposes of the combined consolidated statements of income and as if
such an acquisition had occurred at the end of the period for purposes of the
combined consolidated balance sheet.

These pro forma financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the
results of operations that might have occurred had the acquisition taken place
at the beginning of the period, or to project the Company's results of
operations at any future date or for any future period. The pro forma statements
should be read in connection with the notes thereto.

        NOTES TO UNAUDITED PROFORMA COMBINED CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET

     Pursuant to the Merger and consistent with generally accepted accounting
principles ("GAAP"), certain purchase method accounting adjustments relating to
Valley Financial will be recorded. The purchase method accounting adjustments
are preliminary estimates and are subject to revision as economic conditions
change or as more information becomes available. The purchase price was $14.7
million, consisting of 28,050 outstanding shares of Valley Financial stock, at
$525 per share. The following notes further explain the adjustments.

(1)  Represents the planned sale of $3.4 million of securities available for
     sale and borrowings of $11.3 million to fund the purchase and the
     elimination of the stockholders' equity of Valley Financial under the
     purchase method of accounting.

(2)  Represents the mark-to-market adjustments to reflect the fair market value
     of the Valley Financial assets acquired and liabilities assumed under the
     purchase method of accounting. The following summarizes the net mark-to-
     market premium or (discounts) established for the following asset and
     liability categories:

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

(3)  Represents the reclassification of deferred income taxes.

(4)  Represents the excess of the purchase price paid for Valley Financial over
     the fair market value of the tangible and identifiable assets acquired and
     the fair value of the liabilities (goodwill) assumed under the purchase
     method of accounting. Goodwill is assumed to amortize on a straight-line
     basis over 15 years.

     The merger consideration of $14.7 million was allocated as follows:

          Net assets at fair value (note 1 & 2)        $     8,468,161

    NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF INCOME

     Pursuant to the Merger and consistent with GAAP, certain adjustments will
be recorded, primarily to accrue for specific, identified costs related to the
merger of Valley Financial. The amounts of the Merger related costs are
preliminary estimates and are subject to revisions as economic conditions change
or as more information become available.

     North Central expects to achieve operating cost savings primarily through
the consolidation of back office functions, elimination of redundant
professional fees and elimination of some employee benefits. The operating cost
savings are expected to be achieved in various amounts at various times during
the years subsequent to the acquisition of Valley Financial and not ratably
over, or at the beginning or end of, such periods. No adjustment has been
reflected in the Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Consolidated Statement of Income
for the year ended December 31, 1996, or for the nine months ended September 30,
1997 for the anticipated cost savings.
