real estate loan be reported as ORE only if the lender has taken
possession of the collateral, otherwise the loan must remain in
the loan category.  The previously issued financial statements
contained in this Form 10-Q have been reclassified to present in-
substance foreclosed assets, including any related allowances, on
a consistent basis.

Item 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
         CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

For the Quarters Ended March 31, 1995 and 1994

OVERVIEW

Net Income

For the first quarter of 1995, the Company recorded net income of
$2.8 million, or $.69 per share, compared to net income of $1.7
million, or $.42 per share, for the first quarter of 1994, a 64%
increase.  The principal reason for the increase in net income for
the first quarter of 1995 compared to the same period in 1994 was
the increase in net interest income. 

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Loans

Total loans at March 31, 1995 were $513.1  million, a decrease of
$29.4 million from the 1994 year-end balance of $542.5 million. 
This decrease was primarily due to the sale of $23.0 million in
student loans.  A significant amount of the Company's commercial
real estate loans have been made to owner occupied businesses. 
Even though these loans are collateralized by real estate, the
primary repayment source for each such loan is the cash flow
generated by the related business.  The diversification of the
commercial real estate loan portfolio is such that a material
adverse impact on future operations of the Company is unlikely. 
See "Nonperforming Assets," and "Net Interest Income."  The
Company has no foreign loans or energy loans, and agricultural
loans totalled only $16,000 at March 31, 1995.

Nonperforming Assets

The following Table provides information with respect to the
Company's past due, restructured and nonaccrual loans and the
components of nonperforming assets for the periods indicated.

                                          March 31,     December 31,
                                            1995            1994

Nonaccrual loans (NL)                     $10,293          $10,927
Past due 90 days or more (accruing)         2,058            3,003
Restructured loans                            -              1,251
    Total nonperforming loans (NPL)        12,351           15,181
Other real estate (ORE)                    10,149           10,124 
           
    Total nonperforming assets (NPA)      $22,500          $25,305


At March 31, 1995 the nonaccrual loan balance of $10.3 million
included $9.3  million in real estate loans, $1.0 million in
commercial loans, and $25,000  in installment loans.  At March 31,
1995, loans 90 days past due and still accruing interest were $2.1
million and included loans secured by real estate which totalled
$1.5 million, commercial loans which totalled $82,000 and
installment debt of $434,000.  Although restructured loans have
not been material, management encourages restructuring when it is
likely to benefit the Company and the borrower. 

The ORE balance at March 31, 1995 of $10.1 million consists of
$6.5 million of commercial properties, $2.3 million of residential
properties, and $1.3 million of sub-divided lots and undeveloped
land.  Loans previously classified as in-substance foreclosure but
for which the Company had not taken possession 

<PAGE>
of the collateral totalled $1.2 million at December 31, 1994 and 
have been reclassified to nonaccrual loans, in accordance with SFAS 114.

The following Table summarizes the real estate operations of
property held for sale for the quarters ended March 31, 1995 and
1994.

General carrying costs include legal fees, real estate taxes,
maintenance, appraisals, insurance and miscellaneous other costs. 
See "Non-Interest Expense."  The gross gains on ORE sales were
$51,000 and $17,000 and the gross losses were $47,000 and $78,000
for the quarters ended  March 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

Allowance for Possible Loan Losses (APLL)

The APLL is available for future loan losses.  Management believes
the APLL is adequate as of March 31, 1995.

An analysis of the APLL for the quarters ended March 31, 1995 and
1994 follows:

At March 31, 1995, the recorded investment in loans that are
considered impaired under SFAS 114 was $5.7 million, all of which
were nonaccrual loans.  Included in this amount is $4.0 million of
impaired loans for which the related APLL is $1.6 million. 
Impaired loans totalling $1.7 million do not have an APLL as a
result of write-downs and other factors.  The average recorded
investment in impaired loans during the quarter ended March 31,
1995 was $5.0 million.  For the quarter ended March 31, 1995, the
Company recognized no interest income on impaired loans or
nonaccrual loans.

Securities

Securities totalled $289.8 million at March 31, 1995 and $290.2
million at December 31, 1994.  The portfolio consists principally
of U.S. Treasury instruments with an overall maturity of twelve
months.  Federal funds sold and securities purchased under
agreements to resell totalled $51.0  million at March 31, 1995,
compared to $28.0 million at year-end 1994.  The increase in
federal funds sold is principally due to the previously mentioned
sale of student loans.

<PAGE>
Deposits

Deposits of $804.6 million at March 31, 1995 decreased $21.3
million, or 2.6%, from $825.9 million at December 31, 1994. 
Interest bearing deposit balances at March 31, 1995 totalled
$665.1 million compared to $677.9 million at year-end 1994, a
decrease of $12.8 million.  The decrease occurred primarily in
savings deposits ($9.8 million), NOW accounts ($3.7 million) and
money market accounts ($4.0 million) and was offset somewhat by
increases in time deposits ($4.8 million).  Demand deposits
decreased by $8.5 million through March 31, 1995 compared to the
1994 year-end balance of $148.0 million.  The decreases are
principally attributable to normal seasonal fluctuation and, to a
lesser extent, customer movement of deposits into mutual funds. 
The impact of the decreases in deposits during the first quarter
of 1995 was not material to the overall liquidity position of the
Company.

The following Table presents the various types of deposit balances
at March 31, 1995 and at December 31, 1994.

Dividend Policy 

The declaration and subsequent payment of dividends on the
Company's common stock is considered quarterly by the Board of
Directors.  The long-term capacity of the Company to pay dividends
is conditioned upon the receipt of upstreamed dividends from the
Bank.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Interest Income

This discussion of net interest income should be read in
conjunction with the Tables on pages 13 through 16.  All interest
income, yields, rates, interest rate spreads and net interest
margins which follow in this discussion are stated on a fully
taxable equivalent ("FTE") basis using a tax rate of 34%.

Net interest income for the quarter ended March 31, 1995, totalled
$11.5 million compared to $9.2 million for the quarter ended March
31, 1994.  Net interest income changes are caused by interest-rate
movements, changes in the amounts and the mix of earning assets
and interest bearing liabilities, and changes in the amounts of
non-earning assets and non-interest bearing liabilities.  For the
first quarter of 1995, the $2.3 million increase in net interest
income was primarily due to higher rates earned on loans and
securities.  For the first quarter of 1995, the interest rate
spread and net interest margin equalled 4.87% and 5.41%,
respectively, compared to 3.85% and 4.27%, respectively, for the
quarter ended March 31, 1994.  Interest rate spread is the average
yield earned on total earning assets less the average rate paid
for interest bearing liabilities.  Net interest margin is
calculated by dividing annualized net interest income by average
total earning assets.  

Average interest earning assets totalled $859.8 million for the
first quarter of 1995, a decrease of $15.6 million compared to the
1994 comparable quarter.  Average loans, however, totalled $524.8
million for the first quarter of 1995, an increase of $1.1 million
compared to the 1994 comparable quarter.  The decrease in average
interest earning assets consists primarily of a decrease of $49.4
million in federal funds sold and securities purchased under
agreements to resell offset somewhat by an increase of $32.7
million in securities.  The yield on average interest earning
assets for the first quarter of 1995 equalled 8.01%, an increase
of 139 basis points from the comparable 1994 yield of 6.62%.  The
increase in yield was offset somewhat by higher interest rates
paid on deposits and borrowings in the first quarter of 1995
compared to 1994.  Rates paid on deposits and borrowings increased
from 2.77% in the first quarter of 1994 to 3.14% in the comparable
1995 quarter.  Average interest bearing liabilities totalled
$711.2 million for the first quarter of 1995, a decrease of $31.5
million from the comparable 1994 total.

Provision for Possible Loan Losses
 
The amount of the provision for possible loan losses is
recommended by Management and is then reviewed and approved
quarterly by the Board of Directors of the Company based on its
assessment of the size, composition and quality of the loan
portfolio and the adequacy of the APLL in relation to the risks
within the loan portfolio.

The provision for possible loan losses for the first quarter of
1995 and 1994 was approximately $450,000.  Net loan losses for the
quarter ended March 31, 1995 and 1994 were $891,000 and $1.4
million, respectively.  In connection with determining the
appropriate amount of the provision for possible loan losses for
any period, Management evaluates the current financial condition
of specific borrowers, the general economic climate, loan
portfolio composition, concentration of credits, loan loss
history, adequacy of collateral, the trends and amounts of
nonaccrual and past due loans and estimation of future potential
losses and the level of the Company's APLL.  Management will
continue to utilize the aforementioned criteria to monitor and
analyze loan quality in future periods and will provide for
possible loan losses accordingly.

<PAGE>
Non-Interest Income

Non-interest income increased by $343,000 for the quarter ended
March 31, 1995 compared with last year's total for the comparable
quarter of $2.4 million.  
The increase is primarily due to a gain of approximately $367,000 
as a result of a fire in one of the branch locations wherein the
insurance reimbursement exceeded the book basis of the property
destroyed.

Non-Interest Expense

Non-interest expense increased $650,000 to $9.5 million for the
quarter ended March 31, 1995 compared to the 1994 first quarter. 
This increase was primarily due to other miscellaneous non-
interest expense which totalled $2.6 million for the quarter ended
March 31, 1995, an increase of $590,000 compared to the prior year
first quarter total.  This increase consists of higher student
loan service bureau expenses ($67,000), marketing expenses
($100,000) and other miscellaneous expenses ($348,000).  ORE
expense decreased by $240,000 for the 1995 first quarter compared
to the 1994 first quarter total of $475,000.  FDIC insurance
expense totalled $465,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1995, a
decrease of $86,000 from the comparable 1994 quarter and was
primarily due to lower deposit balances.  Salaries and employee
benefits increased by $504,000.  This increase was primarily due
to increases in the cost of various employee benefit programs of
approximately $350,000 with the remainder resulting from planned
increases in salaries and wages.  

Income Tax Expense

Income taxes for the first quarter of 1995 and 1994 totalled $1.4
million and $567,000, respectively, on 1995 pre-tax income of $4.2
million and 1994 pre-tax income of $2.3 million.  The effective
tax rate was 34% and 25% for the quarters ended March 31, 1995 and
1994, respectively.  The SFAS 109 valuation allowance which
totalled $198,000 at December 31, 1993, was reversed during the
1994 first quarter resulting in a reduction in income tax expense.
