                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND MANAGEMENT REPRESENTATION

          The unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein have
been prepared by the Registrant pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission.  In the opinion of the Registrant, all
adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to
present fairly the results of operations for the periods covered have been made.
Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial
statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.  The
Registrant believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information
presented not misleading.

          Management recommends that these condensed financial statements be
read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in
the Registrant's latest annual report on Form 10-K.  The results for the periods
covered hereby are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for a
full year.


NOTE 2 - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

          In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" ("SFAS
No. 128"), which is effective for periods ending after December 15, 1997.  The
Company excepts to adopt SFAS No. 128 in the fourth quarter of 1997.  SFAS No.
128 replaces the presentation of primary earnings per share with basic earnings
per share and fully diluted earnings per share with diluted earnings per share.
Basic earnings per share excludes dilution and is calculated by dividing income
available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares
outstanding for the period.  Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential
dilution of outstanding stock options, warrants and convertible securities.  The
impact on the Company upon adopting SFAS No. 128 is not expected to be material.

</TABLE> 
 
          In accordance with Management's credit administration and regulatory
policy, loans are placed on nonaccrual status when the collection of principal
or interest is questionable.  Generally, this means that loans are placed on
nonaccrual status when interest is 90 days or more past due, unless the loan is
well secured and in the process of collection or in the process of renewal.
Nonperforming loans and nonperforming assets do not include accruing loans 90
days or more past due where loan quality is not impaired, but rather the renewal
in process is pending receipt of the borrower's updated financial information.

          Credit administrative policies discourage the usage of "short-term"
extensions while awaiting receipt of updated financial packages from borrowers.
The policy is aimed at facilitating timely credit renewals.  However, as a
result of this policy, aggregate "past due" volumes will not necessarily be
correlative to absolute asset quality measurement.

</TABLE> 

          The total accrued interest on loans 90 days or more past due and still
accruing was approximately $13,000 at September 30, 1997, and $19,000 at
December 31, 1996.  Of the $765,000 in accruing loans over 90 days or more past
due and still accruing, $161,000 represents loans where the renewal was in
process, credit quality was not impaired or risk rated below pass.  As a result
of the Company's practice to discourage "short-term" extensions, these loans are
carried as "past due" to ensure proper underwriting and administrative controls.

          The Company maintains the allowance for loan losses at a level
considered adequate by Management to provide for potential loan losses. While
the Company's policy is to charge-off in the current period those loans for
which a loss is considered probable, there also exists the risk of future losses
which cannot be precisely quantified or attributed to particular loans.
Reasonable estimates of these future amounts are included in the allowance for
loan and lease loss reserve.

/(1)/ Nonperforming loans and nonperforming assets do not include accruing loans
90 days or more past due.

          Management considers a loan to be impaired when, based upon available
information and current events, it believes that it is probable the Company will
be unable to collect all amounts due on a timely basis in accordance with the
contractual terms of the loan agreement.  Impairment of a loan is measured by
the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's
effective interest rate, the loan's observable market price, or the fair value
of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.  Impairment is recognized
by the establishment of a valuation allowance equal to the excess of the
Company's recorded investment in the loan over its measured value.

          The Company had $1,450,000 in impaired loans as of September 30, 1997.
The carrying value of impaired loans for which there is a related allowance for
loan losses was $228,000, with the amount of specific allowance for loan losses
allocated to these loans of $70,000.  There were $1,222,000 in impaired loans
for which there were general reserves allocated consistent with the Company's
allowance for loan loss methodology.  The average recorded investment in
impaired loans during the first nine months of 1997 was approximately $1,483,000
and income recorded utilizing the cash basis and accrual basis method of
accounting was $37,000.  Nonaccrual loans at September 30, 1997, included
$1,067,000 of the impaired loans.

and income recorded utilizing the cash basis and accrual basis method of
accounting was $53,000. Nonaccrual loans at December 31, 1996, included
$1,521,000 of the impaired loans.

          At September 30, 1997, the Company had troubled debt restructurings
totaling $385,000, of which $134,000 was on nonaccrual.  A troubled debt
restructuring is a restructuring in which the Company, for economic or legal
reasons related to a borrower's financial difficulties, grants a concession to
the borrower that it would not otherwise consider.  The restructuring of a loan
is primarily the modification of the loan terms.  The remaining $251,000 was
performing according to the renegotiated terms. The gross interest income that
would have been recorded in the first nine months of 1997 on troubled debt
restructurings if the loans had been current in accordance with the original
terms totaled $56,000, which includes $34,000 on the restructured loans on
nonaccrual.  The amount of interest income actually recognized in the first nine
months of 1997 on those loans totaled $28,000.  At September 30, 1997, there
were no additional loan commitments outstanding to borrowers of troubled debt
restructurings.

          At December 31, 1996, the Company had troubled debt restructurings
totaling $778,000, of which $510,000 was on nonaccrual.  The remaining $268,000
was performing according to the renegotiated terms. The gross interest income
that would have been recorded in 1996 on troubled debt restructurings if the
loans had been current in accordance with the original terms totaled $70,000,
which includes $41,000 on the restructured loans on nonaccrual.  The amount of
interest income actually recognized in 1996 on those loans totaled $29,000.  At
December 31, 1996, there were no additional loan commitments outstanding to
borrowers of troubled debt restructurings.

          Historically, deposit levels increase substantially at year-end as
clients increase cash reserves required for first and second quarter tax
payments and bonuses.  In addition, increasing competition for operating cash
deposits comes from broker dealer products and accounts.  In order to minimize
the effects of such "disintermediation" from the Company to such accounts, the
Company is currently scheduled to offer to clientele such accounts by the end of
1997.


CAPITAL

          The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the "OCC"), the Bank's
primary regulator, has established minimum leverage ratio guidelines for
national banks.  These guidelines provide for a minimum Tier 1 capital leverage
ratio (Tier 1 capital to adjusted average total assets) of 3.0% for national
banks that meet certain specified criteria, including having the highest
regulatory rating.  All other national banks will generally be required to
maintain a minimum Tier 1 capital leverage ratio of 3.0% plus an additional
cushion of 100 to 200 basis points.  The OCC has not advised the Bank of any
specific minimum Tier 1 capital leverage ratio applicable to it.

          The Federal Reserve Bank, as Bancorp's primary regulator, has
similarly established minimum leverage ratio guidelines for bank holding
companies.  These guidelines also provide for a minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio of
3.0% for bank holding companies that meet certain specified criteria, including
having the highest regulatory rating.  All other bank holding companies will
generally be required to maintain a minimum Tier 1 capital leverage ratio of
3.0% plus an additional cushion of 100 to 200 basis points.  The Federal Reserve
Bank has not advised the Bancorp of any specific minimum Tier 1 capital leverage
ratio applicable to it.

          Risk-based capital standards were implemented on December 31, 1992.
Since December 31, 1992, banking organizations have been expected to meet a
minimum ratio for qualifying total capital to risk-weighted assets of 8.0%, 4.0%
of which must be Tier 1 capital.  A banking organization's risk-based capital
ratios are obtained by dividing its qualifying capital by its total risk-
adjusted assets and risk-weighted off-balance sheet items.

          The Federal Deposit Insurance Act of 1991 contains "prompt correction
action" provisions pursuant to which insured depository institutions are to be
classified into one of five categories based primarily upon capital adequacy,
ranging from "well-capitalized" to "critically undercapitalized" and which
require, subject to certain exceptions, the appropriate federal banking agency
to take prompt corrective action with respect to 

                                       12
<PAGE>
 
an institution which becomes "undercapitalized" and to take additional actions
if the institution becomes "significantly undercapitalized" or "critically
undercapitalized." At September 30, 1997, the Company and Bank's regulatory
capital exceeded the thresholds necessary to be considered "well-capitalized."

          The following table presents the capital ratios for the Company and
the Bank, compared with the standards for "well-capitalized" depository
institutions (which standards do not apply to bank holding companies) and the
minimum required capital ratios to be deemed "adequately capitalized" under
applicable federal regulations, as of September 30, 1997.

/1/  The minimum required by the FRB is 3%; for all but the most highly rated
bank holding companies, the FRB expects a leverage ratio of 3% plus 100 to 200
basis points.


          The Company and the Bank, at September 30, 1997, were considered
"well-capitalized" and exceeded all applicable minimum capital requirements.
Capital requirements of the federal banking regulators, however,  could limit
the Company's future growth if the Company were to rely solely on the retention
of earnings to generate additional capital or rapid growth.


LIQUIDITY

          The Bancorp's primary source of liquidity is dividends from the Bank.
Dividends from the Bank to the Bancorp are subject to certain regulatory
restrictions.  Under federal banking law, dividends declared by the Bank in any
calendar year may not, without the approval of the OCC, exceed its net earnings,
as defined, for that year combined with its retained net earnings for the
proceeding two years.  The Bancorp's annual operating expenses and interest
obligations with respect to its convertible notes are approximately $750,000.

          The Bank's primary sources of liquidity are federal funds sold to
other banks and the investment securities portfolio.  For the three and nine
months ended September 30, 1997, the Bank averaged $21,373,000 and $18,825,000,
respectively, in federal funds sold.  During the same periods in 1996, the Bank
averaged $5,957,000 and $18,147,000, respectively, in federal funds sold.  In
addition, securities in the available-for-sale portfolio can be sold in response
to liquidity needs or used as collateral under reverse repurchase agreements.
Securities held-to-maturity are available for liquidity needs primarily as
collateral for reverse repurchase agreements.  The fair value of securities
available-for-sale and securities held-to-maturity at September 30, 1997, were
$54,685,000 and $36,580,000, respectively.

                                       13
<PAGE>
 
          There were no securities sold under agreements to repurchase during
the third quarter of 1997.  During the nine months ended September 30, 1997, the
average balance of securities sold under agreements to repurchase was $366,000.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996, the average balances
of securities sold under agreements to repurchase were $7,965,000 and
$4,242,000, respectively.  As of September 30, 1997, there were no securities
sold under agreements to repurchase.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

          The Company reported consolidated net earnings of $200,000 for the
third quarter of 1997, compared with a net loss of $607,000 for the third
quarter of 1996.  Primary and fully diluted earnings per share for the third
quarter of 1997 were $0.14, compared with a loss per share of $0.45 for the same
period in 1996.  Return on average equity for the third quarter of 1997 and
1996, were 5.42% and -17.41%, respectively.  Additionally, return on average
assets for the third quarter of 1997 and 1996, were 0.33% and -0.96%,
respectively.

          For the first nine months of 1997, the Company reported consolidated
net earnings of $701,000, compared with a net loss of $4,058,000 for the first
nine months of 1996.  Primary and fully diluted earnings per share for the nine
months ended September 30, 1997, were $0.49.  For the first nine months of 1996,
the net loss was $3.02 per share.

          The improvement in earnings during the first nine months of 1997 is
largely the result of reduced provision for loan losses, lower legal fees,
management's cost reduction efforts and emphasis on generation of fee income.
Additionally, settlement costs of $1,006,000 were incurred in 1996.


NET INTEREST INCOME

          The Company's earnings depend primarily on net interest income, which
is the difference between the interest and fees earned on loans and investments
less the interest paid on deposits, borrowings and convertible notes. For the
quarter ended September 30, 1997, net interest income increased $48,000 to
$3,202,000, when compared with $3,154,000 for the quarter ended September 30,
1996.  For the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, net interest
income was $9,552,000 and $9,604,000, respectively.  For the three and nine
months ended September 30, 1997, the net interest margin was 5.96% and 6.08%,
respectively, as compared with 5.64% and 5.24%, respectively, for the same
periods in 1996.

          The following tables present the distribution of average assets,
liabilities and shareholders' equity as well as the total dollar amount of
interest income from average interest-earning assets and resultant yields, and
the dollar amounts of interest expense and average interest-bearing liabilities,
expressed both in dollars and rates for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1997 and 1996.

          The Company's net interest income is affected by changes in the amount
and mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, referred to
as "volume change."  It is also affected by changes in yields earned on
interest-earning assets and interest rates paid on interest-bearing deposits and
other borrowed funds, referred to as a "rate change."  The following table sets
forth changes in interest income and interest expense for each major category of

          Interest income represents interest earned on loans, investment
securities and federal funds sold.  For the three months ended September 30,
1997, interest income decreased $39,000 to $4,168,000 from $4,207,000 for the
third quarter of 1996.  The decrease in interest income was primarily due to a
decrease in average investment securities resulting from lower deposit levels.

          The net change in the volume of earning assets decreased interest
income $138,000.  This decrease was slightly offset by an increase in the yield
on earning assets to 7.75% for the third quarter of 1997, as compared with 7.52%
for the same period in 1996.  The yield increase of 0.23% provided an additional
$99,000 in interest income.  Of this change in interest income, loan interest
income increased $135,000 as the average loan yield for the third quarter of
1997 increased to 9.82% from 9.29% for the third quarter of 1996.  The increase
in the loan yield is due to a prime rate increase of 0.25% in March 1997 and
increased loan underwriting fees.

          Interest expense represents interest paid on deposits, Company
borrowings and convertible notes.  For the third quarter of 1997, interest
expense decreased to $966,000, as compared with $1,053,000 for the third quarter
of 1996.  A decrease of $11,620,000 in average interest-bearing liabilities
reduced interest expense by approximately $175,000.  There were no repurchase
agreements during the third quarter of 1997, while the average balance for the
same period of 1996 was $7,965,000.  The decrease in deposits was centered
primarily in time deposits and was mainly due to one client who, in 1996,
transferred its cash management activities to the corporate headquarters.  As
repurchase agreements and time deposits are a higher cost source of funds, the
decrease in balances reduced the overall cost of average interest-bearing
liabilities to 2.73% for the third quarter of 1997, from 2.76% for the third
quarter of 1996.

          Interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996,
was $12,335,000 and $13,462,000, respectively.  The decrease in interest income
of $1,127,000 was primarily due to decreases in average investment securities
and loans of $31,180,000 and $3,764,000, respectively, when compared with the
first nine months of 1996.  Offsetting the impact of the decrease in investment
securities and loan balances 

                                       17

was an increase in the average yield on earning assets to 7.85% for the first
nine months of 1997 from 7.34% for the same period of 1996. This increased yield
on earning assets of 0.51% generated additional interest income of $587,000.

          For the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, interest
expense was $2,783,000 and $3,858,000, respectively.  The decrease in interest
expense was due to a $35,776,000 reduction in average interest-bearing
liabilities (deposits), of which $25,475,000 were time deposits.  This reduction
in average balances decreased interest expense by approximately $1,158,000.  The
decrease in time deposits also had a corresponding decrease in the cost of
interest-bearing liabilities to 2.64% for the first nine months of 1997 from
2.91% for the same period of 1996.


OTHER OPERATING INCOME

          For the three months ended September 30, 1997, other operating income
totaled $455,000 compared with $453,000 for the same period of 1996.  Service
charges on deposits increased $34,000 to $220,000 for the third quarter of 1997
as the Company continues to generate fees for services provided to customers.
The Company recorded increased merchant card servicing fees of $68,000 for the
third quarter of 1997 compared with $56,000 for the third quarter of 1996.
During the third quarter of 1996, the Company realized a $21,000 gain on the
sale of securities classified as available-for-sale.

          For the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, other operating
income totaled $1,424,000 and $1,208,000, respectively.  Service charges on
deposits for the first nine months of 1997 was $620,000, as compared with
$492,000 for the same period in 1996.  In addition, merchant card servicing fees
of $208,000 are $40,000 above the $168,000 for the first nine months of 1996.


OTHER OPERATING EXPENSE

          Other operating expenses for the three months ended September 30,
1997, decreased $147,000 to $3,325,000 from $3,472,000 for the third quarter of
1996.  Expenses for the third quarter of 1997 included approximately $173,000
for nonrecurring strategic planning, investor relations, service training and
other consultant services.

          Salaries and other employee benefits decreased approximately $106,000
to $1,495,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1997, compared with
$1,601,000 for the third quarter of 1996.  This decrease was largely due to
staffing vacancies being performed through contracted professionals.

          Legal fees decreased $346,000 to $85,000 for the third quarter of
1997, from $431,000 for the third quarter of 1996.  The decrease in legal fees
is due primarily to nonrecurring legal expenses associated with loan collection
efforts as the quality of the loan portfolio has improved over the past year.

          Other professional services increased $90,000 to $357,000 for the
third quarter of 1997, compared with $267,000 for the comparable period in 1996.
The Company continues to utilize the services of outside professionals to
augment staffing and support service training which is offset by reduced
salaries and benefits.
 
          Other operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 1997,
were $9,671,000, or a decrease of $2,838,000 from $12,509,000 for the first nine
months of 1996.  Expenses for 1996 included $2,579,000 incurred in connection
with the 1996 proxy contest and $245,000 to fund a salary continuation plan.
Excluding these nonrecurring expenses, noninterest expense for the first nine
months of 1997 decreased 

                                       18
<PAGE>
 
$14,000 from the same period of 1996. Noninterest expense for the nine months
ending September 30, 1997 includes $278,000 in nonrecurring strategic planning
and other consulting services as outlined above.

          Salaries and benefits of $4,397,000 for the first nine months of 1997
is $208,000 below the $4,605,000 for the first nine months of 1996.  The
reduction in personnel expense is somewhat offset by an increase in professional
services expense as the Company continues to utilize outside professionals to
assist in supplementing current staffing vacancies.

          Legal fees of $344,000 for the nine months ending September 30, 1997,
are $2,087,000 below legal fees for the first nine months of 1996 due to
elimination of the $1,404,000 in legal expenses related to the 1996 proxy
contest, as well as reduction in legal expenses related to loan collections.
 
INCOME TAXES

          For the three and nine months ended September 30, 1997, the provision
for income taxes was $73,000 and $424,000, respectively.  A benefit for income
taxes of $94,000 and $1,895,000 was recorded for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1996.  The effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1997 are 26.8% and 37.7%, respectively.  The effective tax rates
for 1997 are lower than the statutory tax rates of 42% due to a $40,000
reduction in excess net deferred taxes in the third quarter of 1997.

          The management of the Company is not aware of any trends, events,
uncertainties or recommendations by regulatory authorities that will have or
that are reasonably likely to have a material effect on the liquidity, capital
resources or operations of the Company.
