ITEM 2

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of 
Operations

Item 2A           Financial Condition

Liquidity

Liquid assets  (Cash,  Federal  Funds Sold,  Time Deposits with other  Financial
Institutions  and  Investments)  decreased  $5.6 million or 17% to $32.6 million
over the six month period from  December 31, 1996 to June 30, 1997. At year-end,
total liquid assets as a percentage  of total assets was 31.6%,  whereas on June
30, 1997 it had decreased to 24.8%.

Cash & due from banks  decreased  $972,000  over the first six months of 1997 to
$10.0 million at June 30, 1997. During the first six months of 1997 cash and due
from banks  averaged  $11.6  million.  The  portion of the total cash & due from
banks  representing ATM ("Automatic  Teller Machine") network cash inventory has
averaged  approximately  $3.6 million  during 1997 and at June 30, 1997 ATM cash
was approximately $3.1 million.

The decrease in total liquid assets,  during the first six months of 1997, was a
primarily  a result of an  increase  in gross  loans of $11.4  million  or 
16.8%, offset in part by an increase in deposits of $5.4 million or 5.8%. 
Deposits have averaged $96.3 million thus far in 1997 while they averaged $88.1 
million during the twelve month period ending December 31, 1996.  Gross loans  
outstanding have averaged $71.7 million thus far in 1997 as compared to $66.2  
million  averaged throughout 1996.

Management believes current liquid assets and current available credit lines are
adequate  to cover the  working  capital  requirements  of the  Company  and any
reasonable needs arising from deposit withdrawals.


Capital

Consolidated  equity capital plus reserves  increased  $949,000 in the first six
months of 1997 from $10.8 million or 10.3% of total gross assets at December 31,
1996 to $11.8 million or 10.6% of total gross assets at June 30, 1997.

Bank capital plus  reserves  totaled  $11.5 million on June 30, 1997 or 10.4% of
total  adjusted  assets as compared to capital plus reserves of $10.8 million or
10.3% of total  adjusted  assets at December 31, 1996. At June 30, 1997 the Bank
maintained  a tier one capital  ratio of 11.62% and a tier two capital  ratio of
12.87% as compared to a tier one capital ratio of 11.86%

and a tier two capital ratio of 13.11% at December 31, 1996.

On May 27,1997 the Company announced it had adopted a stock repurchase plan to 
repurchase up to 5% of the Company's outstanding stock or $500,000 (whichever is
less). The company  did  repurchase  3,000  shares in the open market in July at
a price of approximately $21.00 per share.

The Bank's capital level continues to exceed State and Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation  requirements  and satisfies  the Federal  Reserve  Board's  current
risk-based capital Guidelines.


The Bank has declared  $225,000 in dividends to the Parent  company in the first
six  months of 1997 and the  Company  also  declared  cash  dividends  to common
shareholders  of $.09 per share in March and June of 1997.  The  second  quarter
dividend  represents twenty three consecutive  quarterly cash dividends declared
by the Parent company to shareholders.


Item 2B           Results of Operations

Results of Operations

Consolidated  operating  profits were $451,000 ($.47 per fully diluted share vs.
$.37 in the prior  year) for the second  quarter  of 1997,  the  highest  second
quarter earnings in the Company's  history.  This represents a $104,000 or 29.9%
increase over the second quarter of 1996 in when net income was $347,000.

Consolidated  operating  profits were $843,000 ($.88 per fully diluted share vs.
$.73 in the prior year) for the first six months of 1997, the highest first half
of  earnings  in the  Company's  history.  This  represents  a $154,000 or 22.4%
increase over the first half of 1996 in which net income was $689,000.

The  increase in second  quarter  earnings in 1997 versus the second  quarter of
1996 is a  result  of an  increase  in  pretax  earnings  of  $166,000  which is
comprised  of an  increase in net interest  income of $216,000 and a decrease in
loan loss  provisions  of $70,000,  offset in part by a decrease in  noninterest
income of $86,000 and an increase in non interest expense of $34,000.

The  increase in earnings  for the first six months of 1997 versus the first six
months of 1996 is a result of an increase in pretax  earnings of $255,000  which
is comprised of an increase in net interest income of $281,000 and a decrease in
loan loss  provisions  of  $115,000  and a decrease  in  noninterest  expense of
$55,000, offset in part by a decrease in noninterest income of $196,000.

The growth in net  interest  income of 15.1% in the  second  quarter of 1997 and
9.7% in the first six  months of 1997 is  primarily  a result of growth in total
earning  assets  offset in part by a decrease in net  interest  margin.  Average
earning assets in the second quarter of 1997 were $96.2 million, a $10.1 million
or 11.8% increase over the second  quarter of 1996 when earning assets  averaged
$86.1  million.   Net  interest  margin  in  the  second  quarter  of  1997  was
approximately 6.82% as compared to 7.55% in the second quarter of 1996.

                                                        (7)

Average  earning  assets in the first six months of 1997 were  $94.4  million, a
$10.5  million or 12.5%  increase over the first six months of 1996 when earning
assets  averaged $83.9 million.  Net interest  margin in the first six months of
1997 was approximately 6.72% as compared to 6.89% in the first half of 1996.

Yields on earning assets rose in the second quarter of 1997 to 9.71% as compared
to 9.56% in the second quarter of 1996. Yields on earning assets are down in the
first six months of 1997 to 9.60% as  compared  to 9.82% in the first six months
of 1996.

The decrease in loan loss provisions  throughout 1997,  despite the 16.8% growth
in loans  outstanding  since  December  31, 1996,  is a result of improved  loan
portfolio  performance and the Board's current judgement that the Bennet Leasing
Assets (book value of $548,000  included in  nonaccrual  loans at June 30, 1997)
would not require further reserves.  A settlement was indeed reached in
July of 1997. The Bank received a payment of approximately  $465,000 and expects
additional  payments of approximately  $200,000  pursuant to the agreement.  The
Bank  ultimately  expects  to recover  approximately  $117,000  of the  $318,000
written off in 1996.

Non  performing  assets  at June  30,  1997  (adjusted  for the  Bennet  funding
settlement  in July) were  $816,000 or .74% of total assets and 51% of loan loss
reserves.  Non  performing  assets  at  December  31,  1996 were  $1.67  million
(including Bennet) or 1.61% of total assets and 112% of loan loss reserves.There
were  $42,000  in loans  charged  off  during  the first  six  months of 1997 as
compared to $68,000  during the first six months of 1996.  Loan loss reserves of
$1.59  million  at June 30,  1997  represent  a ratio  of  1.96% of gross  loans
outstanding  as  compared  to a loan loss  reserve of $1.49  million or 2.14% of
gross loans at December 31, 1996.


The  reduction in non interest  income of $86,000 in the second  quarter of 1997
and $196,000 in the first half of 1997 was a result of the closing of the Bank's
mortgage  department in February 1997. The department was closed  primarily as a
result of intense  competition  which affected the profit margins for such loans
sold in the marketplace.  The department never reached its budgeted  performance
goals or contributed a  satisfactory  return given the risk of operations or the
time that was committed by Bank management.

The Bank's ATM  revenues  were up  $69,000 or 15.5% for the second  quarter  and
$153,000 or 18% for the first half of 1997 as  compared  to the same  periods in
1996. The department has contributed $148,000 to pretax profits in the first six
months of 1997 as compared to $93,000 in the first six months of 1996.

Non interest expense was up $34,000 in the second quarter but still down $55,000
in the first six months of 1997 as compared to 1996 primarily as a result of the
closing of the Mortgage Department.
