NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 1996
NOTE 1 - A BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
principles of accounting for instructions to Form 10-Q and
Article 10 of Regulations S-X. Accordingly, they 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 of
normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair
presentation have been included.
NOTE 2 - IMPAIRED LOANS
On January 1, 1995 the Company adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 114, "Accounting by
Creditors for Impairment of a Loan." The adoption of SFAS No.
114 did not have a material impact on the financial condition or
operating results of the Company. Interest payments received on
impaired loans are applied to principal if there is doubt as to
the collectibility of the principal; otherwise, these receipts
are recorded as interest income.
As it relates to in-substance foreclosures, SFAS No. 114 requires
that a creditor continue to follow loan classification on the
balance sheet unless the creditor receives physical possession of
the collateral. The Company had no in-substance foreclosures in
foreclosed assets to transfer to nonperforming loans and no
related reserve for losses to transfer to the reserve for
possible loan losses.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Management's Discussion presents a review of the major factors and
trends affecting the performance of the Company and its bank subsidiary
and should be read in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated
financial statements and notes.
OVERVIEW
The Company reported net income of $ 822,000 for the first nine
months of 1996 compared to $ 770,000 for the same period of 1995. On a
per share basis, the net income was $ 6.85 for the first nine months of
1996 compared to $ 6.42 for the same period of 1995. The Company
recorded a provision for possible loan losses of $ 0 for the nine months
ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Net interest income
decreased 4.2% to $ 2,228,000 for the first nine months of 1996 compared
to $ 2,325,000 for the same period of 1995.
Total assets were $ 60,784,000 at September 30, 1996, an increase
of $ 2,690,000 from September 30, 1995. Loans increased by $ 1,163,000
or 4.5 % from $ 26,032,000 at September 30, 1995 to $ 27,195,000 at
September 30, 1996. Deposits also increased from $ 50,873,00 at
September 30, 1995 to $ 52,981,000 at September 30, 1996.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
NET INTEREST INCOME. Net interest income for the nine months
ended September 30, 1996 totaled $ 2,228,000, a $ 97,000 decrease from
the same period in 1995. Factors contributing to this decrease include
an increase in both the average balance and average rate paid on time
deposits. The increase in interest expense was partially offset by an
increase in the average balance of tax-exempt securities. The overall
effect of volume and rate changes on net interest income during the nine
month period ended September 30, 1996 was unfavorable.
PROVISION FOR POSSIBLE LOAN LOSSES. The Company recorded no
provision for possible loan losses for both the first nine months of
1996 and 1995. The absence of a provision is the result of continued
improvements in asset quality and low net charge offs of loans. As a
percentage of outstanding loans, the allowance for possible loan losses
was 2.23 % and 2.33 % at September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
NONINTEREST INCOME. There has been immaterial variances in
noninterest income for the nine month periods ended September 30, 1996
and 1995. The $ 11,000 decrease in noninterest income for the first
nine months of 1996 is the result of a $ 13,000 decrease in total
service charges on deposit account as compared to the same period of
1995.
There were no securities gains in the nine month periods ended September
30, 1996 and 1995.
NONINTEREST EXPENSE. For the first nine months of 1996
noninterest expense decreased $ 51,000 or 3.0% compared to the same
period in 1995.
Salaries and employee benefits , the largest component of noninterest
expense, decreased by $ 44,000 or 5.3 % for the first nine months of
1996 as compared to the same period in 1995. Employee medical insurance
expense decreased by $ 48,000 for the first nine months of 1996 as
compared to the same period of 1995. This decrease is reflective of a
decrease in medical claim experience for the nine months ended September
30, 1996.
Other expenses decreased by $ 23,000 or 5.5 % for the first nine months
of 1996 as compared to the same period in 1995. The most significant
variance was a decrease in FDIC assessment expense of $ 53,000 due to a
reduction in the FDIC assessment rates. The other categories in
non-interest expense experienced normal variations between the first
nine months of 1996 and 1995.
INCOME TAXES. The Company recorded provisions for income taxes of
$ 245,000 for the nine month period ended September 30, 1996 as compared
to $ 354,000 for the same period of 1995. Upon filing the 1995 federal
tax return the company was able to utilize tax credits of $ 96,000
carried forward. These tax credits were included in deferred tax assets
as of December 31, 1995, however, a deferred tax valuation reserve was
also recorded due to uncertainty of realizable value.

TABLE III - NONPERFORMING ASSETS
- --------------------------------
Non-performing assets include nonaccrual loans, loans which are
contractually 90 days past due, restructured loans, and foreclosed
assets. Restructured loans are loans which, due to a deteriorated
financial condition of the borrower, have a below market yield. Interest
payments received on nonperforming loans are applied to reduce principal
if there is doubt as to the collectibility of the principal; otherwise,
these receipts are recorded as interest income. Certain nonperforming
loans are current as to principal and interest payments are classified
as nonperforming because there is a question concerning full
collectibility of both principal and interest.

</TABLE>
Effective January 1, 1995, the Company adopted SFAS No. 114, which
addresses the accounting treatment of certain impaired loans. The
Company makes an assessment of impairment when and while loans are on
nonaccrual or when the loans are restructured. The Company primarily
bases the measurement of impaired loans on the fair value of the
collateral reduced by costs to sell. If the measurement of the impaired
loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan, the Company
recognizes impairment by creating or adjusting an existing allocation of
the allowance for loan losses.
The following table reflects the recorded investment in impaired loans
and the related SFAS No. 114 allowance for loan losses at September 30,
1996.

determination, management considered asset quality, the level of net
loan charge-offs, as well as current economic conditions and market
trends.

DEPOSITS. As of September 30, 1996 total deposits have increased
by $ 2,108,000 or 4.1% from September 30, 1995. Noninterest bearing
deposits decreased by $ 1,776,000 or 10.9 % from September 30, 1995 to
September 30, 1996. Interest bearing deposits increased by $ 3,884,000
or 11.2 % from September 30, 1995 to September 30, 1996.
CAPITAL. Shareholders' equity totaled $ 7,540,000 at September
30, 1996, compared to $ 6,671,000 at September 30, 1995. The increase
is primarily the result of net income over the most recent 12 months.
Risk-based capital and leverage ratios for the Company and the bank
subsidiary exceed the ratios required for the designation as a
"well-capitalized" institution under regulatory guidelines.
