                                  INTRODUCTION

      This Amendment No. 5 amends and supplements the Rule 13e-3 Transaction
Statement on Schedule 13E-3 initially filed by BNS Holding, Inc., a Delaware
corporation ("we" or "us"), pursuant to Section 13(e) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 13e-2 thereunder on February 3, 2007, as
amended on April 3, 2007, May 7, 2007, May 22, 2007 and May 30, 2007 in
connection with a going private transaction. The purpose of this Amendment No. 5
is to file a final amendment to the Schedule 13E-3 to report the results of the
Rule 13e-3 transaction pursuant to Rule 13e-3(d)(3).

      We filed with the Commission a definitive proxy statement under Regulation
14A of the Securities Exchange Act, relating to a Special Meeting of
Stockholders to approve, among other things, amendments to our Certificate of
Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of our outstanding Class A Common
Stock, $0.01 par value per share, whereby we will effect a 1-for-200 reverse
stock split, such that stockholders of record owning fewer than 200 shares of
Common Stock will have such shares cancelled and converted into the right to
receive $13.62 for each share of Common Stock held prior to the reverse stock
split, immediately followed by a 200-for-1 forward stock split (the
"Reverse/Forward Stock Split").

      The Reverse/Forward Stock Split was approved by the requisite majority of
our Common Stock entitled to vote at our Special Meeting of Stockholders held on
July 19, 2007. On July 27, 2007, we issued a press release confirming our
election to require banks, brokers or other nominees to aggregate any fractional
shares within the Depository Trust Company totals upon the consummation of the
Reversed/Forward Stock Split. On August 1, 2007, we issued a press release
announcing the postponement of the consummation of the Reverse/Forward Stock
Split to August 13, 2007 to provide more time for stockholders holding 200 or
less shares of Common Stock in street name to have their shares certificated so
that they could be cashed-out upon the closing of the Reverse/Forward Stock
Split.

      On August 10, 2007, we filed amendments to our Certificate of
Incorporation, as amended, with the Office of the Secretary of the State of
Delaware to effectuate the Reverse/Forward Stock Split as of August 13, 2007.
The Reverse/Forward Stock Split reduced the number of our stockholders of record
to less than 300, and, consequently on August 23, 2007 we filed a Form 15 with
the Commission to terminate registration of our Common Stock and our Preferred
Stock Purchase Rights under Rule 12g-4(a)(1) of the Exchange Act.
