                  Scottsbluff National Bank was in fair to good financial                                 
            condition on December 31, 1986.  In December 1986, Scottsbluff                                
            National Bank had a secure equity position but a below average                                
            loan loss reserve.  The bank's high profitability in the early                                
            1980's may have been partly because it had made an insufficient                               
            allowance for loan losses.  Scottsbluff National Bank was well                                
            capitalized, consistently profitable, and efficiently run, but                                
            its loan losses were cause for some concern.                                                  
                  On December 31, 1986, Scottsbluff National Bank was the                                 
            seventh largest bank in Nebraska.  Seven of the 10 largest                                    
            Nebraska banks were located in Lincoln or Omaha, Nebraska.                                    
            On December 31, 1986, Scottsbluff National Bank had a loan-to-                                
            deposit ratio of 40.21 percent, the lowest of the 10 largest                                  
            banks in Nebraska.  The average loan-to-deposit ratio for the                                 
            10 banks was 58.7 percent.  Of the 10 largest banks in Nebraska,                              
            Scottsbluff National Bank had the third highest percentage of                                 
            agricultural loans and the fourth highest percentage of                                       
            nonperforming loans.
