                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                June 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 $ 552,000 for the first six months of
1996 compared to $ 497,000 for the same period of 1995.  On a per share basis,
the income was $ 4.60 for the first half of 1996 compared to $ 4.14 for the
same period of 1995.  The Company recorded a provision for possible loan losses
of $ 0 for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  Net
interest income decreased 4.9% to $ 1,463,000 for the first half of 1996
compared to $ 1,539,000 for the same period of 1995.

      Total assets were $ 63,380,000 at June 30, 1996, an increase of 
$ 2,675,000 from June 30, 1995.  Loans increased by $ 1,540,000 or 5.9% from 
$ 26,106,000 at June 30, 1995 to $ 27,646,000 at June 30, 1996.  Deposits also
increased from $ 53,943,00 at June 30, 1995 to $ 55,895,000 at June 30, 1996.



RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


      NET INTEREST INCOME.  Net interest income for the six months ended June
30, 1996 totaled $ 1,463,000, a $ 76,000 decrease from the same period in 1995.
Factors contributing to this decrease include an increase in the 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 first half
of 1996 was unfavorable.



      PROVISION FOR POSSIBLE LOAN LOSSES.  The Company recorded no provision
for possible loan losses for both the first half 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 2.20% and 2.32% at June 30, 1996 and
1995, respectively.



      NONINTEREST INCOME.  There has been immaterial variances in noninterest
income for the six month periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995.  The $ 12,000
decrease in noninterest income for the first half of 1996 is the result of a  
$ 15,000 decrease in total service charges on deposit account as compared to the
same period of 1995.

There were no securities gains in the first six months of 1996 or of 1995.


      NONINTEREST EXPENSE.  For the first six months of 1996 noninterest
expense decreased $ 45,000 or 3.9% compared to the same period in 1995.

Salaries and employee benefits, the largest component of noninterest expense,
decreased by $ 27,000 or 4.9% for the first six months of 1996 as compared to
the same period in 1995.  Employee medical insurance expense decreased by 
$ 36,000 for the first half of 1996 as compared to the same period of 1995.  
This decrease is reflective of a decrease in medical claim experience for the 
six months ended June 30, 1996.

Other expenses decreased by $ 38,000 or 12% for the first six months of 1996
as compared to the same period in 1995.  The most significant variance was a
decrease in FDIC assessment expense of $ 58,000 due to a reduction in the FDIC
assessment rates.  The other categories in non-interest expense experienced
normal variations between the first half of 1996 and 1995.


      INCOME TAXES.  The Company recorded provisions for income taxes of  
$ 124,000 in the first half of 1996 as compared to $ 222,000 in the first half
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.

      DEPOSITS.  As of June 30, 1996 total deposits have increased by 
$ 1,952,000 or 3.6% from June 30, 1995.  Noninterest bearing deposits increased
by $ 128,000 or .8% from June 30, 1995 to June 30, 1996.  Interest bearing
deposits increased by $ 1,824,000 or 4.8% from June 30, 1995 to June 30, 1996.


      CAPITAL.  Shareholders' equity totaled $ 7,252,000 at June 30, 1996,
compared to $ 6,390,000 at June 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.

      INSIDERS.  Directors, executive officers and 10 % shareholders and their
related interest had loans outstanding totaling $ 1,479,000 at June 30, 1996.


      CONTINGENT LIABILITIES.  In the normal course of business, the bank
becomes involved in legal proceedings.  It is the opinion of management that
the resulting liability, if any, for pending litigation is negligible.
