$1.989 billion.  In the first half, total assets averaged $2.037 billion 
in 1996 compared with $1.952 billion in 1995.

    	Loans, net of unearned income increased 10 percent to $1.283 
billion on June 30, 1996 from the year earlier total of $1.170 billion.  
Compared with the 1995 year-end total of $1.220 billion, the loan 
portfolio has increased $63 million in 1996.  Approximately $46 million 
of that increase occurred in the second quarter, thus reflecting 
continued strength in loan demand.  Loan categories that provided growth 
in the second quarter of 1996 were the same categories responsible for 
loan growth during 1995 and the first quarter of 1996.  Strong gains 
were recorded in indirect instalment loans and commercial loans.  
Average loans, net of unearned income, increased 9 percent in the second 
quarter of 1996 to $1.261 billion from $1.157 billion in the second 
quarter of 1995.  In the first half of 1996, loans, net of unearned 
income averaged $1.243 billion compared with $1.140 billion in the same 
period in 1995.

    	Investment securities represent the second largest component of 
earning assets.  Investment securities decreased 4 percent to $612 
million on June 30, 1996 from $639 million one year earlier.  At year-
end 1995, investment securities totaled $643 million.  Investment 
securities were reduced in response to loan demand.  In the second 
quarter, total investment securities averaged $631 million in 1996, or 2 
percent below the second quarter 1995 average of $646 million.  
Investment securities in the first half of 1996 averaged $631 million 
compared with $632 million in the first half of 1995.

     	On June 30, 1996, federal funds sold and money market investments 
totaled $15 million compared with $25 million one year earlier.  At 
year-end 1995, the Corporation had $15 million in short-term money 
market investments.  In the second quarter of 1996, these investments 
averaged $9 million compared with a second quarter 1995 average of $22 
million.  In the first half of 1996, short term investments averaged $11 
million compared with $15 million in the same period of 1995.

    	Total deposits on June 30, 1996 were $1.795 billion compared with 
the year earlier total of $1.771 billion.  At year-end 1995, deposits 
totaled $1.793 billion.  Non interest-bearing deposits increased 10 
percent to $300 million from $272 million one year ago.  For the same 
period, interest-bearing deposits were approximately level.  Deposit 
growth was hampered by the continued flow of funds into mutual funds and 
other investment vehicles and from interest rate competition from other 
financial institutions.  Average total deposits in the second quarter 
were $1.772 billion in 1996 and $1.726 billion in 1995.  In the first 
half of 1996, total deposits averaged $1.766 billion compared with 
$1.696 billion in the first half of 1995.

     	Short-term borrowings totaled $42 million on June 30, 1996, 
compared with $12 million one year earlier and $16 million at year-end 
1995.  In the second quarter, short-term borrowings averaged $34 million 
in 1996 and $35 million in 1995.  In the first half, short-term 
borrowings averaged $26 million in 1996 and $30 million in 1995.

Results of Operations

    	Net income in the second quarter of 1996 increased 18 percent to 
$7.0 million from $5.9 million in the second quarter of 1995.  Net 
income per share also increased 18 percent in the second quarter to $.46 
in 1996 from $.39 in 1995.

    	In the first half of 1996, net income rose to a record high of 
$13.5 million, or 18 percent above $11.5 million in the first half of 
1995.  Net income per share in the first half of 1996 increased 17 
percent to $.89 from $.76 in the first half of 1995.

    	Higher net income in the second quarter and first half of 1996 led 
to higher profitability ratios.  The return on average assets increased 
to 1.36 percent in the second quarter of 1996 compared with 1.19 percent 
in the second quarter of 1995.  In the first half, this ratio was 1.33 
percent in 1996 and 1.17 percent in 1995.

     	The return on average shareholders equity also improved in the 
second quarter and first half of 1996 compared with the same periods in 
1995.  In the second quarter this ratio advanced to 12.11 percent in 
1996 from 10.96 percent in 1995.  In the first half the return on 
average shareholders equity increased to 11.76 percent in 1996 from 
10.76 percent in 1995.

     	The increase in second quarter 1996 net income was attributable to 
an 8 percent increase in net interest income and a 16 percent increase 
in non-interest income.  Higher first half net income resulted from a 7 
percent increase in net interest income and a 17 percent increase in 
non-interest income.  Non-interest expense also was a factor in second 
quarter and first half earnings comparisons between 1996 and 1995, as it 
increased only 2 percent in the quarter and less than one percent in the 
first half.

    	Net interest income increased 8 percent in the second quarter of 
1996 on the strength of a 3 percent increase in interest income and a 5 
percent decrease in interest expense.  Comparing the second quarters of 
1996 and 1995, interest rates earned on earning assets and those paid on 
interest-bearing liabilities both declined.  The increase in interest 
income was attributable to a 4 percent increase in average earning 
assets and a change in the mix of average earning assets.  In the second 
quarter, the ratio of average loans as a percent of average earning 
assets was 66 percent in 1996 compared with 63 percent in 1995.

    	In the first half of 1996, net interest income increased 7 percent 
over the amount recorded in the first half of 1995.  Interest income 
increased 5 percent in the 1996 period and interest expense increased 3 
percent.  Interest income benefited from a 5 percent increase in average 
earning assets and an increase in loans as a proportion of earning 
assets.  These factors were partially offset by a 4 basis point decline 
in the yield on average earning assets to 8.06 percent in the first half 
of 1996.  The increase in interest expense in the first half of 1996 was 
attributable to a 3 percent increase in average interest-bearing 
liabilities as the average rate paid on these liabilities remained 
constant at 3.82 percent.

    	The factors that affected net interest income in the second 
quarter and first half led to improvements in the net interest margin in 
both periods in 1996.  In the second quarter, the net interest margin 
was 5.00 percent in 1996 compared with 4.84 percent in 1995.  In the 
first half, the net interest margin was 4.98 percent in 1996 and 4.94 
percent in 1995.

    	In recognition of the increase in loans, an increase in net loan 
losses, and industry trends in credit quality measures, the provision 
for loan losses was raised in 1996.  In the second quarter, the 
provision for loan losses was $840 thousand in 1996 compared with $480 
thousand in 1995.  In the first half, the provision was $1.6 million in 
1996 and $1.0 million in 1995.

    	On June 30, 1996, the allowance for loan losses was $14.1 million, 
or 1.10 percent of loans, net of unearned income.  One year earlier, the 
allowance was $13.9 million, or 1.19 percent of loans, net of unearned 
income.  In the second quarter of 1996, net loan losses were $532 
thousand, or .17 percent of average loans.  In the second quarter of 
1995, net loan losses were $622 thousand, or .21 percent of average 
loans.  After six months net loan losses were $966 thousand in 1996 and 
$829 thousand in 1995.  Those amounts represented .16 percent and .15 
percent of average loans in the first half of 1996 and 1995, 
respectively.

    	Non-interest income increased 16 percent in the second quarter and 
17 percent in the first half of 1996 over amounts recorded in the 
comparable periods in 1995.  The leading factors in the second quarter 
and first half increases were deposit account fees, mortgage loan sales 
income, and other income.  Deposit account fees increased 9 percent in 
both the second quarter and first half of 1996 compared with the like 
periods in 1995.  Higher revenues from return check charges were 
principally responsible for these increases.  Income from selling 
mortgage loans in the secondary market rose significantly as the result 
of an increase in the volume of originations of fixed rate mortgages.  
Higher interest rates near the end of the second quarter may shift 
future mortgage loan volume towards adjustable rate mortgages.  Such 
loans are generally held in the loan portfolio and, therefore, would not 
be sold in the secondary market.  Other income benefited from higher 
credit card fees and revenues from the sale of investment products.  In 
the first half of 1996, credit card fees were 41 percent, or $103 
thousand, higher than in the comparable 1995 period.  The sale of 
investment products added $345 thousand to first half 1996 non-interest 
income.

    	Non-interest expense increased 2 percent in the second quarter and 
less than one percent in the first half of 1996 over amounts recorded in 
the comparable 1995 periods.  The largest factor affecting these 
comparisons was F.D.I.C. insurance assessments, which decreased $913 
thousand in the second quarter and $1.819 million in the first half of 
1996 compared with the respective periods in 1995.  Two non-recurring 
items also were recorded in the second quarter of 1996 in non-interest 
expense.  A writedown of certain real estate raised occupancy expense 
$438 thousand in the second quarter of 1996.  The writedown was recorded 
in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, 
Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived 
Assets to Be Disposed of, which the corporation adopted in the first 
quarter of 1996.  The writedown recognized the permanent impairment in 
value of a building used in the Corporations banking operations.  A 
recovery from the sale of a foreclosed property in the second quarter of 
1996 lowered other expense $448 thousand.  The net effect of these two 
non-recurring items was not significant to total non-interest expense in 
the second quarter of 1996.

LIQUIDITY

    	A financial institution's liquidity requirements are measured by 
its need to meet deposit withdrawals, fund loans, maintain reserve 
requirements, and operate the organization.  To meet its liquidity 
needs, the Corporation maintains cash reserves and has an adequate flow 
of funds from maturing loans, investment securities, and short-term 
investments.  In addition the Corporation's bank affiliate has the 
ability to borrow from the Federal Reserve and from the Federal Home 
Loan Bank.  The Corporation considers its sources of liquidity to be 
ample to meet its needs.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

     	On June 30, 1996, shareholders' equity totaled $229 million, or 11 
percent of total assets.  Included in shareholders' equity on June 30, 
1996 were unrealized losses, net of the deferred tax effect, of $236 
thousand on securities available for sale.  In the first half of 1996, 
shareholders' equity averaged $230 million, or 8 percent above the first 
half 1995 average of $213 million.  On June 30, 1996, the book value of 
a share of common stock was $15.14, or 6 percent above the year earlier 
$14.34.
