ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

The following is a discussion of the Company's financial condition as of March
31, 2000 compared to December 31, 1999, and the results of operations for the
three months ended March 31, 2000 compared to the three months ended March 31,
1999. These comments should be read in conjunction with the Company's condensed
financial statements and accompanying footnotes appearing in this report. This
report contains "forward-looking statements" relating to, without limitation,
future economic performance, plans and objectives of management for future
operations, and projections of revenues and other financial items that are based
on the beliefs of the Company's management, as well as assumptions made by and
information currently available to the Company's management. The words "expect,"
"estimate," "anticipate," and "believe," as well as similar expressions, are
intended to identify forward-looking statements. The Company's actual results
may differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking
statements, and the Company's operating performance each quarter is subject to
various risks and uncertainties that are discussed in detail in the Company's
filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

NET INTEREST INCOME

For the three months ended March 31, 2000, net interest income increased
$667,593, or 66.1%, to $1,676,992 as compared to $1,009,399 for the same period
in 1999. The net interest margin realized on earning assets increased from 3.77%
for the three months ended March 31, 1999 to 4.24% for the same period in 2000.
The interest rate spread increased by 52 basis points from 3.01% at March 31,
1999 to 3.53% at March 31, 2000.

PROVISION AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

The provision for loan losses is the charge to operating earnings that
management believes is necessary to maintain the allowance for possible loan
losses at an adequate level. For the three months ended March 31, 2000, the
provision charged to expense was $164,000. This increase of $83,000 from the
comparable period in 1999 is a result of management's efforts to increase the
allowance for loan losses to match the growth in the loan portfolio. There are
risks inherent in making all loans, including risks with respect to the period
of time over which loans may be repaid, risks resulting from changes in economic
and industry conditions, risks inherent in dealing with individual borrowers,
and, in the case of a collateralized loan, risks resulting from uncertainties
about the future value of the collateral. The Company maintains an allowance for
loan losses based on, among other things, historical experience, an evaluation
of economic conditions, and regular reviews of delinquencies and loan portfolio
quality. Management's judgment about the adequacy of the allowance is based upon
a number of assumptions about future events which it believes to be reasonable
but which may not prove to be accurate. Thus, there is a risk that charge-offs
in future periods could exceed the allowance for loan losses or that substantial
additional increases in the allowance for loan losses could be required.
Additions to the allowance for loan losses would result in a decrease of the
Company's net income and, possibly, its capital.

NONINTEREST INCOME

Noninterest income during the three months ended March 31, 2000 was $202,729, an
increase of $104,452 from $98,277 during the comparable period in 1999. The
increase is a result of an increase in service charges from $41,395 during the
three months ending March 31, 1999 to $75,859 for the three months ending March
31, 2000. In addition, the Company's trust department continues to grow,
resulting in income of $79,446 during the three months ended March 31, 2000,
compared to $30,139 during the comparable period in 1999.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS -- continued

NONINTEREST EXPENSE

Total noninterest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2000 was
$918,561, or 46.7% higher than the $626,303 amount for the three months ended
March 31, 1999. The largest increase was in other operating expense, which
increased from $242,453 for the three months ended March 31, 1999 to $384,951
for the three months ended March 31, 2000. The increase is partially
attributable to an increase in the costs associated with data processing.
Salaries and employee benefits also increased $102,208 to $363,435 for the three
months ended March 31, 2000. This increase can be attributable to the cost of
employees to staff an additional office and annual pay raises.

INCOME TAXES

The income tax provision for three months ended March 31, 2000 was $295,198 as
compared to $148,000 for the same period in 1999. The effective tax rate was 37%
at March 31, 2000 and 1999.

NET INCOME

The combination of the above factors resulted in net income for the three months
ended March 31, 2000 of $501,962 as compared to $252,373 for the same period in
1999. This represents an increase of $249,589 or 98.9% over the same period in
1999.

ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

During the first three months of 2000, total assets increased $17,331,607, or
11.6%, when compared to December 31, 1999. The primary source of growth in
assets was loans which increased $14,303,270 during the first three months of
2000. Federal funds sold and repurchase agreements increased $5,360,000 from
December 31, 1999 to $21,785,000 at March 31, 2000. Total deposits also
increased $26,025,388, or 24.1%, from the December 31, 1999 amount of
$107,826,073. Within the deposit area, certificates of deposit increased
$22,294,835, or 35.9%, during the first three months of 2000. Federal funds
purchased of $5,000,000 at December 31, 1999 were paid off by March 31, 2000.
Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank decreased from $10,000,000 at December
31, 1999 to $7,000,000 at March 31, 2000.

INVESTMENT SECURITIES

Investment securities decreased slightly from $7,832,559 at December 31, 1999 to
$6,655,458 at March 31, 2000. The decrease can be attributed to the maturing of
four securities during March. The funds from the securities were invested in
higher yielding loans. All of the Company's investment securities were
designated as available-for-sale at March 31, 2000.

LOANS

The Company continued its trend of growth during the first three months of 2000,
especially in the loan area. Net loans increased $14,140,766, or 12.0%, during
the period. As shown below, the main component of growth in the loan portfolio
was commercial and industrial loans which increased 26.3%, or $13,026,356, from
December 31, 1999. Also, real estate - construction loans increased $1,516,352,
or 27.9%. Balances within the major loans receivable categories as of March 31,
2000 and December 31, 1999 are as follows:

ADVANCES FROM THE FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK

At March 31, 2000, Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank totaled $7,000,000.
This amount consists of one advance with a fixed interest rate of 6.29% and
maturity date of September 30, 2009. The option to call this advance can be
exercised in 2000.

LIQUIDITY

Liquidity needs are met by the Company through scheduled maturities of loans and
investments on the asset side and through pricing policies on the liability side
for interest-bearing deposit accounts. The level of liquidity is measured by the
loan-to-total borrowed funds ratio which was at 89.6% at March 31, 2000 and
89.9% at December 31, 1999.

Securities available-for-sale, which totaled $6,655,458 at March 31, 2000, serve
as a ready source of liquidity. The Company also has lines of credit available
with correspondent banks to purchase federal funds for periods from one to seven
days. At March 31, 2000, unused lines of credit totaled $22,600,000.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

Total shareholders' equity increased from $16,913,454 at December 31, 1999 to
$17,404,733 at March 31, 2000. The increase is due to net income for the period
of $501,962, partially offset by a negative change of $10,683 in the fair value
of securities available-for-sale.

CAPITAL RESOURCES -- continued

Bank holding companies, such as the Company, and their banking subsidiaries are
required by banking regulators to meet certain minimum levels of capital
adequacy which are expressed in the form of certain ratios. Capital is separated
into Tier 1 capital (essentially common shareholders' equity less intangible
assets) and Tier 2 capital (essentially the allowance for loan losses limited to
1.25% of risk-weighted assets). The first two ratios, which are based on the
degree of credit risk in the Company's assets, provide the weighting of assets
based on assigned risk factors and include off-balance sheet items such as loan
commitments and stand-by letters of credit. The ratio of Tier I capital to
risk-weighted assets must be at least 4.0% and the ratio of total capital (Tier
1 capital plus Tier 2 capital) to risk-weighted assets must be at least 8.0%.
The capital leverage ratio supplements the risk-based capital guidelines. Banks
and bank holding companies are required to maintain a minimum ratio of Tier 1
capital to adjusted quarterly average total assets of 3.0%.

The following table summarizes the Company's risk-based capital at March 31,
2000:


Shareholders' equity                               $         17,467,752

REGULATORY MATTERS

From time to time, various bills are introduced in the United States Congress
with respect to the regulation of financial institutions. Certain of these
proposals, if adopted, could significantly change the regulation of banks and
the financial services industry. The Company cannot predict whether any of these
proposals will be adopted or, if adopted, how these proposals would affect the
Company.

YEAR 2000

Like many financial institutions, we rely upon computers for conducting our
business and for information systems processing. Industry experts were concerned
that on January 1, 2000, some computers would not be able to interpret the new
year properly, causing computer malfunctions. While we have not experienced any
material computer malfunctions to date, there remains a risk that our computers
will be unable to read or interpret data on Year 2000-sensitive dates, including
October 10, 2000. Our regulators have issued guidelines to require compliance
with Year 2000 issues. In accordance with these guidelines, we have developed
and executed a plan to ensure that our computer and telecommunication systems do
not have these Year 2000 problems. We generally rely on software and hardware
developed by independent third parties for our information systems. We believe
that our internal systems and software, including our network connections, are
programmed to comply with Year 2000 requirements, although there is a risk they
may not be. We incurred approximately $200,000 in costs in 1999 to implement our
Year 2000 plan. Under our plan, we are continuing to monitor the situation
throughout 2000. Based on information currently available, we believe that we
will not incur significant additional expenses in connection with the Year 2000
issue.

The Year 2000 issue may also negatively affect the business of our customers,
but to date we are not aware of any material Year 2000 issues affecting them. We
include Year 2000 readiness in our lending criteria to minimize risk. However,
this will not eliminate the issue, and any financial difficulties that our
customers experience caused by Year 2000 issues could impair their ability to
repay loans to us.
