ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND 
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

                              RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

              Three Months Ended March 31, 1998 and March 31, 1997.

                                    OVERVIEW

The Company  realized net income of $182 thousand for the first quarter of 1998,
a increase of $58  thousand,  or 46.8% from the $124  thousand  reported for the
same period in 1997.  Basic  earnings per share were $.26 for the quarter  ended
March 31, 1998 as compared to $.18 for the prior  period,  and diluted  earnings
per share were $0.25 and $0.17 for the  periods  ended  March 31,  1998 and 1997
respectively.

Interest Income. Total interest income increased $196 thousand,  or 11.2%, to $2
million for the three  months  ended  March 31,  1998 from $1.8  million for the
three months ended March 31, 1997.  This growth in interest income is the result
of a $13.3 million increase in earning assets over the comparable period of last
year,  partially  offset by a decrease  in the  average  yield on total  earning
assets to 7.28% during the quarter  compared to 7.48%  during the quarter  ended
March 31, 1997. The decline in average yield reflects  reinvestment  of mortgage
principal  repayments and  amortization  and cash flows from called and maturing
investment  securities  being  reinvested  at  lower  current  market  rates  of
interest,  as well as the Company's decision to offer lower rate products in its
efforts to retain its market share.

Interest  Expense.  Interest  expense on deposits  increased $101  thousand,  or
13.8%, during the current quarter compared to the comparable quarter a year ago.
The average  balance of interest  bearing  deposits  increased $8.3 million,  or
10.4%,  for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 over the comparable  quarter in the
prior year.  This  growth is  primarily  the result of the  Company  marketing a
Certificate  of  Deposit  which was not being  offered by its  competitors.  The
average  cost of the  interest-bearing  deposits  increased  to 3.78% during the
current quarter, from 3.73% during the comparable quarter in the prior year.

Table 1 following  presents a summary of the Company's  interest-earning  assets
and their average  yields,  and  interest-bearing  liabilities and their average
costs and  shareholders'  equity for the three  months  ended March 31, 1998 and
1997. The average balance of loans includes  non-accrual  loans,  and associated
yields include loan fees which are considered adjustment to yields.

Provision  for Loan Losses.  The  provision for loan losses for the three months
ended March 31, 1998 was $21  thousand  compared  to $75  thousand  for the same
period  last year.  The  decrease  in the  provision  for loan  losses  reflects
management's  judgments  concerning the risks inherent in the Company's existing
loan  portfolio and the size of the  allowance  necessary to absorb those risks.
Management  reviews the adequacy of its  allowance on an ongoing  basis and will
provide for additional provisions in future periods as may be necessary.

Other Income. The Company's other income is primarily  generated through service
charges on deposit  accounts.  The Company's  other income  increased  from $165
thousand for the quarter  ended March 31, 1997 to $183  thousand for the quarter
ended March 31, 1998. This increase was primarily attributable to a $20 thousand
increase  in income  from the sale of  non-deposit  products,  primarily  mutual
funds.

Income Taxes. Income tax expense increased $38 thousand to $101 thousand for the
first quarter of 1998 compared to $63 thousand for the same period in 1997.  The
increase in income taxes resulted from higher levels of taxable income in 1998.

Federal  funds sold  increased  by $12.2  million over  December  31, 1997.  The
increase is  attributable  both to the short term investment of a public deposit
received by the Bank and cash from  prepayments and repayments in the investment
portfolio  exceeding new loan demand.  Subsequent to March 31, 1998, the Company
reinvested this excess cash in new investment securities.

Total  average  deposits  increased $10 million,  or 10.10%.  Time deposits over
$100,000 increased by $5.4 million,  savings deposits increased by $270 thousand
and demand deposits increased by $2.9 million.  Management  continues to monitor
the shift in deposits through its Asset/Liability committee.

ASSET QUALITY

At March 31, 1998,  non-performing loans decreased $121 thousand, as compared to
December 31, 1997. The decrease was attributable to real estate loans which were
restored to performing status. Management continues to work diligently to reduce
the Company's non-performing loans.

The following table provides an analysis of non-performing loans and assets:

</TABLE>
ALLOWANCE FOR POSSIBLE LOAN LOSSES

The  allowance  for possible  loan losses is  maintained  at a level  considered
adequate to provide for  potential  loan losses.  The level of the  allowance is
based on  management's  evaluation of potential  losses in the portfolio,  after
consideration  of  risk   characteristics   of  the  loans  and  prevailing  and
anticipated  economic  conditions.  The  allowance is  increased  by  provisions
charged to expense  and  reduced by  charge-offs,  net of  recoveries.  Although
management  strives to maintain an allowance it deems adequate,  future economic
changes,  deterioration  of  borrowers'  credit  worthiness,  and the  impact of
examinations  by  regulatory  agencies all could cause  changes to the Company's
allowance for possible loan losses.
<PAGE>
At March 31, 1998, the allowance for possible loan loses was $706  thousand,  up
3.07% from the $685  thousand at year-end  1997.  There were no net  charge-offs
during the first quarter of 1998.

LIQUIDITY MANAGEMENT

At March 31, 1998,  the amount of liquid assets  remained at a level  management
deemed adequate to ensure that contractual  liabilities,  depositors' withdrawal
requirements,   and  other  operational  and  customer  credit  needs  could  be
satisfied.

At March 31, 1998, liquid investments totaled $20 million, and all mature within
30 days.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

Total Stockholders'  equity increased $246 thousand to $8.8 million at March 31,
1998 from $8.6 million at year end 1997.  The increase was due  primarily to net
income of $182 thousand for the first three months of 1998.

At March 31, 1998, both the Company and the Bank exceeded each of the regulatory
capital  requirements  applicable  to it. The table below  presents  the capital
ratios  at March  31,  1998 for  both  the  Company  and the Bank as well as the
minimum regulatory requirements.
