documents and oral presentations of the Corporation.  Such statements are
based on management's beliefs as well as assumptions made by and
information currently available to management.  When used in the
Corporation's documents and oral presentations, the words "anticipate,"
"estimate," "expect," "objective," "projection," "forecast," "goal"
and similar expressions are intended to identify forward looking
statements. In addition to any assumptions and other factors referred to
specifically in connection with forward-looking statements, factors that
could cause the Corporation's actual results to differ materially from
those contemplated in any forward-looking statements include, among others,
increased competition, regulatory factors, economic conditions, changing
interest rates, changing market conditions, availability or cost of
capital, employee workforce factors, cost and other effects of legal and
administrative proceedings, and changes in federal, state, or local
legislature requirements.  The Corporation undertakes no obligation to
update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of
changes in actual results, changes in assumptions or other factors

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

First two quarters of 2001 compared to the first two quarters of 2000

Earnings for the first two quarters of 2001 decreased by 19.8% to $6.02
million or $.91 per share. This compares to $7.50 million or $1.04 per
share for the first two quarters of 2000.  These 2001 totals equate to a
1.2% return on average assets and a 11.3% return on average equity. For
this same period in 2000, return on average assets was 1.6% and return on
average equity was 13.3%.

Net interest income for the first two quarters of 2001 was $17.54 million
compared to $18.92 million for 2000.  This represents a decrease of 7.3%.
This decrease resulted from a seventy-four basis point decrease in the net
interest margin. This decline in margin was partially offset by a 12.0%
increase in average earning assets.  The primary reason for the decline in
margin was the very rapid reduction in interest rates by the Federal
Reserve during the first six-months of 2001. There were two; one-half point
interest rates cuts during January, followed by additional half-point cuts
in March, April and May and a quarter point cut in June.  Even though lower
interest rates may improve future loan growth, it can create problems in
any given period depending on the maturities of fixed rate loans and
certificates of deposit and the number of adjustable rate loans in the loan
portfolio.  During this period the yields on loans adjusted down more
quickly than the cost of deposits could be lowered.  Management believes
that if the Federal Reserve has basically completed its rate reductions,
the Corporation's net interest income should improve during the second half
of the year as spreads begin to even out.  For additional information, see
the table entitled "Analysis of Net Interest Earnings" at the end of this
section.   The Corporation's Provision for Loan Losses is utilized to
replenish the Reserve for Loan Losses on its balance sheet. The reserve is
maintained at a level deemed adequate by the Board of Directors after its
evaluation of the risk exposure contained in the Corporation's loan
portfolio.  The methodology used to make this determination is performed on
a quarterly basis.  An overall analysis of the portfolio is performed by
the senior credit officers and the loan review staff.  As a part of this
evaluation, certain loans are individually reviewed to determine if
there is an impairment of the bank's ability to collect the loan and the
related interest.  This determination is generally made based on collateral
value. If it is determined that an impairment exist, a specific portion of
the reserve is allocated to these individual loans. All other loans are
grouped into homogeneous pools and risk exposure is determined by
considering the following list of factors (this list is not all inclusive
and the factors reviewed may change as circumstances change):  Historical
loss experiences; trends in delinquencies and non-accruals and national,
regional and local economic conditions. These economic conditions would
include, but not be limited to, general real estate conditions, the current
interest rate environment and trends, unemployment levels and other
information, as deemed appropriate. Classified loan to capital was 21.0% at
June 30, 2001 and the percentage of loans past due 30 days or more was
2.14%.  The Reserve for Loan Losses as a percentage of total loans has
declined from 1.50% at the end of 2000 to 1.27% at the end of the second
quarter of 2001. Overall, Loan quality remains good. At the end of the
second quarter of 2001, the ratio of non-performing loans to total loans
remained low at .63%.  This compares to .59% at December 31, 2000 and .80%
at June 30, 2001.  Management is committed to not relaxing its underwriting
standards. Based on these evaluations, the reserve amounts maintained at
the end of the second quarter of 2001 and at the end of 2000 were deemed
adequate to cover exposure within the Corporation's loan portfolio.

During the first six months, net charge-offs totaled $3,002,000 compared to
$842,000 for the same period of 2000.  The reason for the increased charge-
offs during 2001, was that in June, the Corporation charged-off a $2
million dollar loan that had defaulted.  This loan had previously not been
classified as a problem loan and there were special circumstances
surrounding its default.  The Corporation has filed a claim with its
bonding company to recover the entire $2 million; however, it is too early
to predict whether there will be a recovery.

The Provision for Loan Losses has increased from $765,000 during the first
half of 2000 to $1,360,000 in the same period of 2001.  This increase in
the provision was the result of a special one time provision of $1 million
during June as a result of the above mention charge-off. Even though the
Reserve for Loan Losses was adequate to cover the above mentioned loss,
management believed that in light of the current economic conditions, it
was in the Corporation's best interest to make this special provision.  If
not for this special charge, the level of the provision for the first half
of 2001 would have been lower than in 2000 due to the overall quality of
the portfolio.

Non-interest income grew 11.8% resulting from a 13.6% increase in income
from the Corporation's Trust and Financial Management activities and a 7.6%
increase in income from deposit accounts.  Additionally, other non-interest
income increased by $624,000 or 45.4%.  The majority of this increase came
from a $410,000 increase in fees from our mortgage-related activities and a
$241,000 increase in earnings from a $10 million purchase of Bank Owned
Life Insurance. Insurance commissions, fees and premiums declined by
$132,000 or 6.6%. This change in insurance commissions, fees and premiums
relates directly to the volume of insurance product sold during these
periods. During the first quarter of 2001 a great deal of time and effort
was spent handling claims that resulted from a major storm that hit the
service area.  This took away from time that would have been spent
developing customers and selling product.

Non-interest expenses increased 12.7% during the first half of 2001.  This
increase resulted from a 19.3 increase in salaries and employment benefits,
a 4.1% increase in the expenses associated with premises and fixed assets
and a 5.2% increase in other non-interest expenses.  The large increase in
salaries and employee benefits resulted the Corporation's growth plus
normal annual increases, the quarterly accrual of bonuses that had
previously been accrued annually during the fourth quarter, and a non-
recurring credit of $370,000 that reduced salaries and employee benefits in
the first quarter of 2000.  The increase in expenses associated with
premises and fixed assets is primarily the result of additional
depreciation and amortization expenses resulting from the 2000 expenditure
on technology.  The increase in other expenses are primarily the result of
higher legal expenses resulting from the litigation discussed in Part II,
Item 1 of this document.

Changes in the Corporation's income tax expense have generally paralleled
changes in income.  The Corporation's effective tax rate declined from
28.8% for the first half of 2000 to 22.5% for the first half of 2001.  This
decline in the effective tax rate for the six-month period resulted
primarily from the Corporation's ability to add to its portfolio of tax
exempt securities and Bank Owned Life Insurance. The Corporation's
ability to further reduce income tax expense by acquiring additional tax-
free investments is limited by the Alternative Minimum Tax Provision, the
market supply of acceptable municipal securities and the Corporation's
normal liquidity and balance sheet structure requirements.

Second quarter of 2001 compared to the second quarter of 2000

Earnings for the second quarter of 2001 decreased by 26.0% to $2.67 million
or $.43 per share. This compares to $3.61 million or $.50 per share for the
second quarter of 2000.  These 2001 totals equate to a 1.0% return on
average assets and a 10.7% return on average equity. For this same period
in 2000, return on average assets was 1.5% and return on average equity was
12.7%.

Net interest income for the second quarter of 2001 was $8.49 million
compared to $9.45 million for 2000.  This represents a decrease of 10.2%.
This decrease resulted from an eighty-eight basis point decrease in the net
interest margin. This decline in margin was partially offset by an 12.3%
increase in average earning assets.  The primary reason for the decline in
margin was the very rapid reduction in interest rates by the Federal
Reserve during the second quarter.  There were one-half point interest
rates cuts during April and May and a quarter point cut in June.  Even
though lower interest rates may improve future loan growth, it can create
problems in any given quarter depending on the maturities of fixed rate
loans and certificates of deposit and the number of adjustable rate loans
in the loan portfolio.  As was the case during the first quarter, the
yields on loans during the second quarter adjusted down more quickly than
the cost of deposits could be lowered.

The Provision for Loan Losses was increased from $382,000 for the second
quarter of 2000 to $1,180,000 for the same period of 2001.  As discussed in
the previous section, this increase in the provision was the result of a
special one-time provision of $1 million during June. If not for this
special charge, the level of the provision for the second quarter of 2001
would have been lower than in 2000 due to the overall quality of the
portfolio.

Non-interest income grew 17.3% resulting from a 13.6% increase in income
from the Corporation's Trust and Financial Management activities and a 5.7%
increase in income from deposit accounts.  Additionally, Insurance
commissions, fees and premiums increased by 4.77% and other non-interest
income increased by $413,000 or 48.4%. The change in insurance commissions,
fees and premiums relates directly to the volume of insurance product sold
during these periods. The majority of the increase in other non-interest
income came from a $276,000 increase in fees from our mortgage-related
activities and a $184,000 increase in earnings from a $10 million
purchase of Bank Owned Life Insurance.

Non-interest expenses increased 10.1% over the second quarter of 2000.
This increase resulted from a 13.8 increase in salaries and employment
benefits and a 8.4% increase in other non-interest expenses.  The large
increase in salaries and employee benefits resulted the Corporation's
growth plus normal annual increases, the quarterly accrual of bonuses that
had previously been accrued annually during the fourth quarter, certain
changes made in the employee benefit plans and a reduction in the deferral
of salaries and benefits under FASB 91 due the reduction in loan volume.
The increase in other expenses are primarily the result of higher legal
expenses resulting from the litigation discussed in Part II, Item 1
of this document.

Changes in the Corporation's income tax expense have generally paralleled
changes in income.  The Corporation's effective tax rate declined from
27.7% for the second quarter of 2000 to 18.2% for the second quarter of
2001.  This decline in the effective tax rate for the quarter resulted
primarily from the Corporation's ability to add to its portfolio of tax
exempt securities and Bank Owned Life Insurance. The Corporation's
ability to further reduce income tax expense by acquiring additional tax-
free investments is limited by the Alternative Minimum Tax Provision, the
market supply of acceptable municipal securities and the Corporation's
normal liquidity and balance sheet structure requirements.


FINANCIAL CONDITION

The Corporation's balance sheet shows an increase in total assets from
$1,010 million to $1,054 million during the first half of 2001.  During
this period, deposits increased by $10.5 million. Also, the Federal Home
Loan Bank borrowings and Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase
increased by $58.5 million and $2.7 million, respectively.  Also, during
the first half of 2001, net loans declined by $11.2 million from $647.5
million to $636.3 million.  These changes resulted in a net increase in
available funds of approximately $82.9 million.  These available funds were
used to increase Fed Funds Sold and Securities Purchased Under Agreements
to Resell by $1.2 million, the investment securities portfolio by $49.9
million and other assets by $11.3 million. Also, the Corporation purchased
$24.5 million of its common stock back from its largest shareholder (this
transaction will be discussed in more detail later in the document).  This
purchase was funded with a portion of the borrowings from the Federal Home
Loan Bank.  This stock was placed in Treasury Stock. The increase in
investment securities was added as arbitrage transactions with matched
funding from the Federal Home Loan Bank. This brought the total arbitrage
transactions to $50 million at June 30, 2001.  The increase in other
assets resulted primarily from the purchase of $10 million of Bank Owned
Life Insurance.  This purchase was made so that the additional spread
earned over the one-year treasury rate and the tax advantage of these
earnings could be used to reduce the overall cost of employee benefits for
the Corporation.

Stockholders' equity decreased from $120.1 million to $100.1 million during
the first half of 2001.  This represented a 16.7% decrease.  During this
period there was an increase in the market value of the available-for-sale
portion of the investment securities portfolio.  This resulted in the
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income component of Stockholders' Equity
increasing from an unrealized loss of $68,000 at December 31, 2000 to an
unrealized gain of $1,901,000 at June 30, 2001. Also, during the first half
of the year the Company declared dividends of approximately $3,532,000.  On
March 22, 2001, the Corporation repurchased 976,676 shares of its common
stock, or 13.6% of its outstanding shares, for approximately $24.5 million.
This stock, which is being carried as Treasury Stock, accounted for the
remaining change in Stockholders' Equity during this period. Additional
information on this transaction can be found in Form 8-K filed by the
Corporation on April 5,2001.

The Corporation's bank subsidiary is required to maintain a minimum amount
of capital to total risk weighted assets as defined by the banking
regulators.  At June 30, 2001, the bank's Tier I, Tier II and Total Capital
Ratios exceeded the well-capitalized standards developed under the
referenced regulatory guidelines.

Dividends paid by the Corporation are provided from dividends received from
the subsidiary bank.  Under the regulations controlling national banks, the
payment of dividends by the bank without prior approval from the
Comptroller of the Currency is limited in amount to the current year's net
profit and the retained net earnings of the two preceding years. To fund
the repurchase transaction discussed above, the Corporation's subsidiary
bank borrowed funds from the Federal Home Loan Bank and with special
permission from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, declared
a special dividend to the Corporation to purchase this stock.  This
dividend used up the bank's exemption to pay any additional dividends for
the remainder of 2001.  Subsequently, the subsidiary bank has requested and
been given permission by the Comptroller of Currency to pay additional
dividends to the Company during the remaining portion of 2001. At June 30,
2001, this amounted to approximately $3.5 million.  Also, under regulations
controlling national banks, the bank is limited in the amount it can lend
to the Company and such loans are required to be on a fully secured basis.
At June 30, 2001, there were no borrowings between the Company and the
subsidiary bank.

                           PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION


Item 1.   Legal Proceedings

          National Bank of Commerce is a defendant in a lawsuit in which a
          class is pursuing unspecified and punitive damages as a result of
          the placement of collateral protection insurance.  The Bank has
          vigorously defended its position and, as of March 15, 2001, has
          reached a preliminary settlement in the amount of $450,000.  The
          settlement is yet to be approved by the court.  This settlement,
          if approved, will not have a material impact on the future
          earnings of the Corporation.

          There are no other pending proceedings of a material nature to
          which the Corporation, or any of its subsidiaries, is a party.

Item 2.   Changes in Securities

Item 4.   Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

          The 2001 Annual Meeting of Shareholders was held on May 8, 2001.
          The only item submitted for shareholder vote was the election of
          directors.  Since the proxies were solicited under Regulation
          14A, there were no solicitations in opposition to the Board of
          Directors' nominees and all nominees were elected, no additional
          information is required to be disclosed.
