                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q, and therefore do not include
all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary
for a fair presentation have been reflected in the financial statements.
However, the results of operations for the three month periods ended March 31,
1996 and 1995 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for
the full year.

For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and
footnotes included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 1995.


NOTE B - ACCOUNTING CHANGES

Effective January 1, 1996, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards
Board Statement 122, "Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights." This statement
requires that separate assets be recognized for the rights to service mortgage
loans for others, however those rights are acquired. The adoption of Statement
122 has not had a material impact on the Company's financial position or results
of operations. Management believes that operating results will be positively
impacted by the adoption of this statement but the eventual results will depend
on loan sale volumes.

A comparison of the carrying amount and approximate market value follows:

               MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                      CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following is management's discussion and analysis of certain significant
factors which have affected the Company's financial condition and earnings
during the periods included in the accompanying consolidated financial
statements.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

A summary of the period changes in principal sources and uses of funds is shown
below in thousands of dollars, and as a percent.

Aggregate deposits, the primary source of funds, decreased by $3,420 or .5%
during the first quarter of 1996. Experience was mixed within the deposit
category, as shown below:

                                             =======         =======

As a result, total deposit levels at March 31, 1996 showed a slight decrease
from the end of 1995.

The loan portfolio decreased slightly by .3% during the first quarter of 1996.
The commercial and real estate mortgage loan areas both decreased slightly
during the period while installment loans remained virtually level.

For liquidity purposes the excess funds generated during the period were mainly
placed in short-term investments.

In addition to the above trends in the sources and uses of funds, the Company
services loans for outside agencies, primarily the Federal Home Loan Mortgage
Corporation ("Freddie Mac"). At March 31, 1996 the volume of Freddie Mac loans
sold with servicing being retained was $202 million. The comparable figure for
1995 was $193 million. The ability of the Company to sell these loans enables it
to more effectively manage its funding operations.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

During the first quarter of 1996 there were no significant changes with respect
to the capital resources of the Company. Management feels that the liquidity
position of the Company as of March 31, 1996 is much more than adequate to meet
its future cash flow needs. Management also closely monitors capital levels to
provide for normal business needs and to comply with regulatory requirements. As
summarized below, the Company's capital ratios were well in excess of the
regulatory requirements for classification as "Well Capitalized":

Net Interest Income

The modest increase in net interest income during the first quarter of 1996 was
due to the fact that while both the interest income and the interest expense
increased from the first quarter in 1995 the interest income increased more. The
increase in the loan to deposit ratio to 81.8% at March 31, 1996 from 78.9% at
March 31, 1995 also contributed to the increase in net interest income. The
Company continues its ongoing process to match liabilities and assets for rate
sensitivity. Net interest income performance in future periods will be primarily
dependent upon general interest rate developments.

Provision for Loan Losses

The loan loss provision decreased during the first three months of 1996 due to
lower loan charge-offs at the member bank level. This lower loan loss provision
still allowed for an increase to the allowance for loan losses of $80,000 or
1.1% during the quarter. Net loan charge-offs for the quarter amounted to
$120,000, down from the amount of $161,000 for the comparable period in 1995. On
an annualized basis these charge-offs amounted to .09% of average loans
outstanding. This is a relatively low level on an internal historical basis as
well as in comparison to peer groups.

Expressed as a percent of outstanding loans the allowance increased from 1.35%
at year end 1995 to 1.37% at March 31, 1996. The allowance level will not
necessarily be maintained at this level during future periods as the amounts
provided during any given period are dependent upon management's ongoing review
process and assessment of the perceived loss exposure in the then outstanding
loan portfolio.

Nonperforming loans continue at low levels, although they did increase in the
first quarter of 1996 by $491,000 or 13.4%. Total nonperforming assets, which
include other real estate, also continue at low levels despite an increase of
$1,535,000 or 33.0% from December 31, 1995. The table below presents a
comparison of nonperformings.

On a percentage basis, the allowance for loan losses decreased from 206.8% of
nonperforming loans at the end of 1995 to 184.3% at March 31, 1996. Management
intends to continue in its efforts toward maintaining the high quality of the
loan portfolio.

Noninterest Expenses 

The decrease in noninterest expenses resulted from changes in its major
components as set forth below, indicative of the normal effects of inflation as
well as the growth of the organization. The primary reason for the overall
decrease in noninterest expenses is the substantial decrease in FDIC premium
expense of $377,000 from the first quarter of 1995 to the comparable period in
1996. The major components of other expenses increased (decreased) as follows:

                                              --------------
       Salaries and employee benefits               3.7%
       Occupancy, furniture and equipment            .2
       Data processing                             (5.2)
       FDIC premiums                                NMF
       Advertising                                 25.7
       Other                                        2.3

The advertising increase is due to expanded marketing programs, including
MFC2000, a new strategic plan which will be introduced later this year. This
increase in advertising can be expected to continue throughout 1996.

Applicable Income Tax

Applicable income tax expense is based on income, less that portion which is
exempt from federal taxation, taxed at the statutory federal income tax rate of
35%. The provision is further reduced by other smaller items. The increase in
the 1996 income tax provision reported herein for the first quarter was mostly
due to the increase in pre-tax income of the Company for the first quarter 1996.
