prepared in accordance with the Instructions for Form 10-QSB and Item 310(b) of Regulation S-B and do not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles for a complete presentation of the Corporation's financial condition and

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation

The following discussion is designed to provide a review of the consolidated financial condition and results of operations of Valley Ridge Financial Corp. (the "Corporation").  This discussion should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements and related notes.

Forward-Looking Statements:

This discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations, and other sections of this report, contain forward-looking statements that are based on management's beliefs, assumptions, current expectations, estimates and projections
about the financial services industry, the economy, and about the Corporation itself.  Words such as "anticipates," "believes," "estimates," "judgment," "expects," "forecasts," "
intends," "is likely," "plans," "predicts," "projects," variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements.  These statements are not guarantees of future
performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions ("Future Factors") that are difficult to predict with regard to timing, extent, likelihood and degree of occurrence.  Therefore, actual results and outcomes may materially
differ from what may be expressed, implied or forecasted in such forward-looking statements.

Future Factors include, but are not limited to, changes in interest rates and interest rate relationships; demand for products and services; the degree of competition by traditional and non-traditional competitors; changes in banking regulations;
changes in tax laws; changes in prices, levies and assessments; the impact of technological advances and issues; governmental and regulatory policy changes; the outcomes of pending and future litigation and contingencies; trends in customer behavior as

Results of Operations:

Net Income:  The Corporation reported net income of $424,917 or $0.45 per share for the first quarter of 2001 compared to $404,071 or $0.43 per share for the first quarter of 2000.  The improvement was due to an increase in noninterest income,
offset by an increase in noninterest expense.

Net Interest Income:  Net interest income decreased $25,206 or 1.5% to $1,707,149 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2001 compared to the same period in 2000.  The decrease in net interest income is primarily attributable to a decrease
in gross loans of $2,238,369, offset by an increase in interest rates from March 31, 2000 to March 31, 2001.  Net interest margin has declined 20 basis points in comparison to 2000 due to increased competition for loan and deposit accounts, and an
increase in the cost of borrowed money.

---

Provision for Loan Losses:  The provision for loan losses represents the adjustment to the allowance for loan losses needed to maintain the allowance at a level determined by management to cover inherent losses within the Corporation's loan
portfolio.  The allowance for loan losses is based on the application of projected loss ratios to the risk-ratings of loans, both individually and by category.  Projected loss ratios incorporate such factors as recent loss experience, current economic
conditions and trends, trends in past due and impaired loans, and risk characteristics of various categories and concentrations of loans.  The provision for loan losses was $45,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000.  Net charge-offs were
approximately $6,000 for the first quarter of 2001 compared to $34,000 for the first quarter of 2000.  Management will continue to monitor the allowance for loan losses and make additions to the allowance through the provision for loan losses as economic
conditions dictate.

Noninterest Income:Noninterest income for the three months ended March 31, 2001 was approximately $590,000 as compared to $382,000 for the same period in 2000.  The increase is attributable in part to an increase in service charges, as well
as approximately $109,000 in realized gains on the sale of investment securities during the first quarter.

---

Noninterest Expense:  The increase in noninterest income was offset by an increase in noninterest expense to approximately $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001 compared to $1.6 million for the same period in 2000.  Salaries
and benefits, the largest component of noninterest expense, increased 10% to $868,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 compared to $786,000 for the same period in 2000.  The increase in salaries and benefits reflects annual salary increases and
additional employees.  The increase in other expenses of $31,000, or 6%, from $554,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $585,000 for the same period in 2001 is due to increases in professional fees.

Financial Condition, Liquidity, and Capital Resources:

Total assets increased approximately 0.6% or $1.0 million to $170.6 million at March 31, 2001 compared to $169.6 million at December 31, 2000.  Total liabilities increased by 0.3% or by $0.5 million to $153.7 at March 31, 2001 compared to $153.2
million at December 31, 2000.  Total shareholders' equity increased by approximately $508,000 to $16.9 million at March 31, 2001.  The increase in shareholders' equity is primarily related to the retention of earnings after dividend payouts in addition to
an increase in the unrealized gain on securities available for sale.

Total loans decreased to $119.1 million at March 31, 2001, compared to $121.3 million at December 31, 2000.  Deposits increased by approximately $1.6 million or 1.3% to $124.5 million at March 31, 2001.  The overall impact of these changes was a
decrease in the net loan to deposit ratio to 94.3% at March 31, 2001, from 97.4% at December 31, 2000.

The Corporation paid dividends of $170,456 during the three months ended March 31, 2001, compared to $157,063 paid during the same period in 2000.

Shareholders' equity as a percent of total assets was 9.9% at March 31, 2001 compared to 9.7% at December 31, 2000.  The Corporation's capital ratios continue to exceed the minimum regulatory levels prescribed by the Federal Reserve Board.

Total cash, cash equivalents and investment securities totaled approximately $43.5 million at March 31, 2001 or approximately 25.5% of total assets.  The principal source of funding for the Corporation continues to come from its deposit
customers, which have historically been a stable source of funds  Other sources of funding include normal loan repayments, sales and maturities of securities, federal funds available from correspondent banks, and additional advances available from the
Federal Home Loan Bank.  Management believes that the current level of liquidity is sufficient to meet the normal operating needs of the Bank.

Securities sold under agreements to repurchase generally mature within one to three days from the transaction date.  The Corporation has pledged certain investment securities, which are held in safekeeping, as collateral against these borrowings.
Repurchase agreements totaled approximately $3.3 million and $3.0 million at March 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000, respectively.

The Corporation had $23,750,000 in advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank at March 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000.  Each advance requires monthly interest payments at either fixed or adjustable rates.  These borrowings are collateralized by
nonspecific loans within the mortgage portfolio up to the principal outstanding and nonspecific qualifying securities within the securities portfolio.

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices.  Most assets and liabilities of a financial institution are monetary in nature.  This differs from most commercial and industrial companies that have significant investments in fixed assets or
inventories.  The effect of inflation on financial institutions is to a large extent indirect and the measure of such impact is largely subjective.

Noninterest expenses tend to rise during periods of general inflation.  Inflation levels are to some degree reflected in interest rates.  Changes in interest rates, which are to some extent attributable to changes in inflation rates or uncertainty
concerning changes in inflation rates, do affect the earnings of the Corporation.  The Corporation seeks to protect net interest income from the adverse effects of interest rate fluctuations through its asset/liability management program.

The Corporation's management believes that increases in financial institution assets and deposits result in part from monetary inflation.  As assets increase, the financial institution must increase equity capital proportionately to maintain
appropriate relationships between assets and equity.
