Item 3.  Source and Amount of Funds or other Consideration.

  An aggregate of $1,906,790 from the capital of the Funds has been used in
making purchases of 105,249 shares of Common Stock of PNBC.


Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction.

  The Funds acquired the Common Stock of PNBC reported herein for purposes of
investment.  The Funds may, in the future, purchase additional shares of Common
Stock of PNBC or sell such securities.

  The Funds do not have any present plan or proposal which would relate to or
result in transactions of the kind described in paragraphs (a) through (j) of
Item 4 of Schedule 13d-101 of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  The Funds
reserve the right, in the future, to adopt such plans or proposals.


Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

  (a)  An aggregate of 105,249 shares of Common Stock are beneficially owned by

together with any of the persons named in Item 2 comprise a group within the
meaning of Section 13(d) (3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

power to dispose or to direct the disposition of, all of the shares beneficially
owned by them as set forth in paragraph (a) above.

  (c)  On April 30, 1998, the Funds' ownership of shares of Common Stock of PNBC
