                                 June 30, 1997


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 $484,000 for the first six months of
1997 compared to $552,000 for the same period of 1996. On a per share basis,
the income was $4.03 for the first half of 1997 compared to $4.60 for the
same period of 1996. The Company recorded a provision for possible loan losses
of $0 for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively. Net
interest income increased 3.5% to $1,514,000 for the first half of 1997
compared to $1,463,000 for the same period of 1996.

      Total assets were $64,162,000 at June 30, 1997, an increase of $782,000
from June 30, 1996. Loans decreased by $1,081,000 or 3.9% from $27,646,000
at June 30, 1996 to $26,565,000 at June 30, 1997. Deposits experienced little
change with total deposits of $55,758,000 at June 30, 1997 and $55,895,000 at
June 30, 1996.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


      NET INTEREST INCOME. Net interest income for the six months ended June
30, 1997 totaled $1,514,000, a $51,000 increase from the same period in 1996.
Factors contributing to this increase include an increase in the average
balance and average rate earned on taxable investment securities. The increase
in interest income was partially offset by an increase in the average balance
of time deposits. The overall effect of volume and rate changes on net interest
income during the first half of 1997 was favorable.


      PROVISION FOR POSSIBLE LOAN LOSSES. The Company recorded no provision for
possible loan losses for both the first half of 1997 and 1996. 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 2.22% and 2.20% at June 30, 1997 and 1996,
respectively. The provision is determined by the level of net charge offs, the
size of the loan portfolio, the level of nonperforming loans, anticipated
economic conditions, and review of financial condition of specific customers.


      NONINTEREST INCOME. There has been immaterial variances in noninterest
income for the six month periods ended June 30, 1997 and 1996. The $24,000
decrease in noninterest income for the first half of 1997 is the result of a 
$16,000 decrease in total service charges on deposit account as compared to the
same period of 1996.

There were no securities gains in the first six months of 1997 or of 1996.


     NONINTEREST EXPENSE. For the first six months of 1997 noninterest expense
increased $12,000 or 1.1% compared to the same period in 1996.

Salaries and employee benefits, the largest component of noninterest expense,
increased by $20,000 or 3.8% for the first six months of 1997 as compared to
the same period in 1996. Employee medical insurance expense increased by 
$14,000 for the first half of 1997 as compared to the same period of 1996. This
increase is reflective of a increase in medical claim experience for the six
months ended June 30, 1997.

Net occupancy expense and other expenses experienced normal variations between
the first half of 1997 and 1996.


      INCOME TAXES. The Company recorded provisions for income taxes of 
$207,000 in the first half of 1997 as compared to $124,000 in the first half of
1996. Effective January 1, 1992, the company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." Due to limitations
related to the valuation of deferred tax assets, there was no cumulative effect
adjustment at adoption. During the first quarter of 1996 the deferred tax
valuation reserve was removed resulting in a reduction in the income tax
expense of $62,000.

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, 1997 total deposits have decreased by $137,000
or .2% from June 30, 1996. Noninterest bearing deposits increased by $701,000
or 4.3% from June 30, 1996 to June 30, 1997. Interest bearing deposits
decreased by $838,000 or 2.1% from June 30, 1996 to June 30, 1997.


      CAPITAL. Shareholders' equity totaled $8,148,000 at June 30, 1997,
compared to $7,252,000 at June 30, 1996. 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.

     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.
