     On May 7, 1998,  the Board of  Directors  declared  a 2-for-1  split of the
Corporation's  common stock with an effective date of July 1, 1998 by means of a
one-for-one  stock dividend to  shareholders  of record on June 1, 1998. The par
value of the common  stock  remained at $1 per share.  As a result,  $1,000,000,
representing the total par value of the new shares issued,  has been transferred
from retained  earnings to common  stock.  All  references  in the  consolidated
financial  statements to amounts per share and to the number of shares have been
restated to give retroactive effect to the stock split.


NOTE 3 COMPUTATION OF EARNINGS PER SHARE

     The net income per share amounts are based on the weighted  average  number
of common shares  outstanding.  The weighted number of common shares outstanding
used in the  computation was 2,000,000 for the nine month period ended September
30, 1998 and 2,012,348 shares for the same period in 1997.


NOTE 4  ADOPTION OF SFAS NO. 130

     The Corporation adopted Statement of Financial  Accounting Standards (SFAS)
No. 130,  Reporting  Comprehensive  Income,  on January 1, 1998.  The  Statement
establishes standards for reporting and displaying  comprehensive income and its
components. SFAS No. 130 requires that all components of comprehensive income be
reported in a financial  statement that is displayed with the same prominence as
other financial statements.  For the Corporation,  comprehensive income includes
net income  and  changes in  unrealized  gains and losses on  available-for-sale
securities.

Tax  equivalent  net interest  income  increased  $228,000 to $3,241,000 for the
three month period ended  September  30,  1998, a 7.56%  increase  from the same
period in 1997.  The major  factors for the increase in net interest  income for
the three months ended  September 30, 1998 were  non-interest  bearing  deposits
averaged  $7,019,000  higher  during the three month period ended  September 30,
1998 than in the same  period in 1997 and the loan  portfolio  balance  averaged
$41,380,000  higher  during the three  month  period  ended  September  30, 1998
compared to 1997.  Earning assets  averaged  $38,740,000,  17.65% higher for the
three month period ended September 30, 1998 compared to 1997; this volume change
resulted in an additional  $555,000 in fully taxable  equivalent  (FTE) interest
income.  The asset  growth for the three  months  ended  September  30, 1998 was
primarily  funded by a  $7,535,000  increase in time  deposits  and a $6,526,000
increase in other  borrowed  money and a  $7,019,000  increase  in  non-interest
bearing deposits . For the three months ended September 30, 1998 the average FTE
interest rate earned on assets decreased .55%, decreasing FTE interest income by
$390,000.  The major factor of the  decrease was lower yields on the  investment
portfolio and the loan  portfolio.  The average  interest rate paid on deposits,
fed funds purchased and other borrowed money decreased .15%, decreasing interest
expense by $63,000.  The net difference  between  interest rates earned and paid
was a $327,000  decrease in FTE net interest income.  For the three months ended
September 30, 1998 the net interest yield  decreased .47% versus the same period
in 1997,  management expects this trend to continue,  but at a more stable pace.
The company is benefiting from current  mergers and  acquisitions in it's market
area, new customers opening lower interest bearing accounts.  For the nine month
period ended  September 30, 1998 tax  equivalent net interest  income  increased
$800,000 to $9,212,000, a 9.51% increase from the same period in 1997. The major
factors  for the  increase  in net  interest  income for the nine  months  ended
September 30, 1998 was noninterest  bearing deposits averaged  $5,937,000 higher
in 1998 than in the same period in 1997 and the loan portfolio  balance averaged
$33,312,000   higher  in  1998  compared  to  1997.   Earning  assets  increased
$32,588,000,  15.32% increase over the nine months ended September 30, 1997. The
average  FTE  interest  rate earned on assets  decreased  .25%,  decreasing  FTE
interest  income  by  $584,000  and  average  rate paid on  deposits,  fed funds
purchased and other borrowed money increased .01%,  decreasing  interest expense
by $42,000. The difference between interest rates earned and paid was a $800,000
increase in FTE net interest  income.  The net interest yield decreased .27% for
the nine month period ended  September  30, 1998 versus the same the same period
in 1997.

     Net interest  income is the difference  between  interest  earned on loans,
securities,  and other earning assets and interest paid on deposits and borrowed
funds.  In Table 2 and Table 3 the interest  earned on investments  and loans is
expressed on a fully  taxable  equivalent  (FTE) basis.  Tax exempt  interest is
increased to an amount comparable to interest subject to federal income taxes in
order to properly  evaluate the effective  yields earned on earning assets.  The
tax equivalent  adjustment is based on a federal income tax rate of 34%. Table 3
analyzes the reasons for the  increases  and  decreases  in interest  income and
expense. The change in interest due to changes in both balance and rate has been
allocated to change due to balance and change due to rate in  proportion  to the
relationship of the absolute dollar amounts of change in each.

fees, gains on investment  securities available for sale and gains from sales of
Federal Home Loan  Mortgage  Corporation  (Freddie Mac) loans.  The  Corporation
retains  the  servicing  rights of these  loans.  Noninterest  income  increased
$119,000 or 31% for the three month period ended September 30, 1998 versus 1997.
The  increase was due  primarily to a $148,000  increase in gains on real estate
mortgage  loan  sales,  offset  by a  $23,000  decrease  on gains of  securities
available-for-sale.  For the nine months  ended  September  30,1998  noninterest
income increased  $561,000 or 50% over the same period in 1997. The increase was
due primarily to a $685,000  increase in gains real estate  mortgage loan sales,
and a $81,000 decrease on gains of securities available-for-sale.

ANALYSIS OF CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION

     Total assets increased  $37,039,000,  15.24% to $280,127,000  from December
31, 1997 to September  30,  1998.  The  significant  changes were an increase in
loans receivable, net of $33,046,000, a 19.86% increase and an increase in loans
held for sale of $4,841,000 a 359.79% increase.  Deposits increased $23,798,000,
12.88% to $208,498,000.  Non-interest  bearing deposits increased $4,781,000 and
interest  bearing  deposits  increased  $19,016,000.   The  Corporation  expects
deposits to increase  through-out  the  remainder  of the year.  Borrowed  funds
increased $3,019,000,  26.72% and securities sold under agreements to repurchase
increased $7,130,000, 82.35%.


LIQUIDITY

     Management  evaluates  the  Corporation's  liquidity  position on a regular
basis to assure that funds are available to meet  borrower and depositor  needs,
fund  operations,  pay cash  dividends  and to invest  excess  funds to maximize
income.   The   Corporation's   sources  of  liquidity  include  cash  and  cash
equivalents,  investment  securities  available  for  sale,  principal  payments
received on loans,  Federal Funds Purchased,  FHLB borrowings,  deposits and the
issuance of common stock.

     Cash and cash equivalents equaled 2.38% of total assets as of September 30,
1998 versus  2.21% as of December  31,  1997.  For the nine month  period  ended
September  30,  1998,  $893,000  in net cash was used by  operations,  investing
activities used $30,108,000,  and financing activities provided $32,296,000. The
accumulated  effect of the  Corporation's  operating,  investing  and  financing
activities  was a $1,295,000  increase in cash and cash  equivalents  during the
nine month period ended September 30, 1998.

     The Corporation's liquidity is considered adequate by management.

Year 2000 Issue

     Because many computerized systems use only two digits to record the year in
date fields (for example, the year 1998 is recorded as 98), such systems may not
be able to  accurately  process  dates  ending in the year 2000 and  after.  The
effects of the issue will vary from  system to system and may  adversely  affect
the ability of a financial  institution's  operations  as well as its ability to
prepare  financial   statements  and  to  collect  loans  from  customers  whose
operations are negatively  affected by year 2000 issue.  The  Corporation has an
internal task force to assess year 2000  compliance by the  Corporation  and its
vendors.  In  addition,  the Bank  asks  commercial  borrowers  about  year 2000
compliance as part of the loan  application and review process.  Management does
not anticipate that the Corporation will incur material operating expenses or be
required  to invest  heavily in  computer  system  improvements  to be year 2000
compliant.  Nevertheless,  the  inability  of the  Corporation  to  successfully
address all year 2000 issues could result in interruptions in the  Corporation's
business  and have a material  adverse  effect on the  Corporation's  results of
operations.


Forward Looking Statements

     This report contains certain forward-looking  statements within the meaning
of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the

     A derivative financial instrument includes futures, forwards, interest rate
swaps,   option  contracts,   and  other  financial   instruments  with  similar
characteristics.   The  Corporation  currently  does  not  enter  into  futures,
forwards,  swaps,  or options.  However,  the  Corporation is party to financial
instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet
the  financing  needs of its  customers.  These  financial  instruments  include
commitments to extend credit and standby  letters of credit.  These  instruments
involve to varying degrees,  elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess
of the amount  recognized in the  consolidated  balance  sheets.  Commitments to
extend  credit  are  agreements  to lend to a  customer  as long as  there is no
violation of any condition  established in the contract.  Commitments  generally
have fixed  expiration  dates and may require  collateral  from the  borrower if
deemed necessary by the  Corporation.  Standby letters of credit are conditional
commitments issued by the Corporation to guarantee the performance of a customer
to a third  party  up to a  stipulated  amount  and  with  specified  terms  and
conditions.  Commitments to extend credit and standby  letters of credit are not
recorded as an asset or liability by the  Corporation  until the  instrument  is
exercised.

     The  Corporation's  exposure to market risk is reviewed on a regular basis.
Interest  rate risk is the potential of economic  losses due to future  interest
rate  changes.  These  economic  losses can be reflected as a loss of future net
interest income and/or a loss of current fair market values. The objective is to
measure the effect on net  interest  income and to adjust the  balance  sheet to
minimize the inherent  risk while at the same time maximize  income.  Management
realizes  certain  risks  are  inherent  and that the  goal is to  identify  and
minimize the risks. Tools used by management include the standard GAP report and
a simulation  model.  The  Corporation  complements its stable core deposit base
with alternate  sources of funds,  which includes advances from the Federal Home
Loan Bank and on a very  limited  basis,  jumbo  certificates  of  deposit  from
outside its market  area.  Management  evaluates  the funding  needs and makes a
decision based on current interest rates and terms whether to fund internally or
from alternate  sources.  To date, the  Corporation  has not employed the use of
derivative  financial  instruments  in managing  the risk of changes in interest
rates. The Corporation has no market risk sensitive instruments held for trading
purposes. Management considers the Corporation's market risk to be reasonable at
this time.
