                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  June 30, 1998


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.

OVERVIEW
 
     The Company reported net income of $ 508,000 for the first six months of
1998 compared to $ 484,000 for the same period of 1997. On a per share basis,
the income was $ 4.27 for the first half of 1998 compared to $ 4.03 for the same
period of 1997. The Company recorded a provision for possible loan losses of $ 0
for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Net interest
income increased 6.3 % to $ 1,610,000 for the first half of 1998 compared to 
$ 1,514,000 for the same period of 1997.

     Total assets were $ 67,174,000 at June 30, 1998, an increase of $ 3,012,000
or 4.7 % from June 30, 1997. Loans increased by $ 2,206,000 or 8.3 % from 
$ 26,565,000 at June 30, 1997 to $ 28,771,000 at June 30, 1998. Deposits also
increased $ 2,121,000 or 3.8 % to $ 57,879,000 at June 30, 1998.



RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


     NET INTEREST INCOME. Net interest income for the six months ended June 30,
1998 totaled $ 1,610,000, a $ 96,000 increase from the same period in 1997.
Factors contributing to this increase include an increase in the average balance
of securities and loans as well as an increase in the average rate earned on
both of these assets. This positive effect was partially negated by an increase
in the average balance of savings deposits. The overall effect of volume and
rate changes on net interest income during the first half of 1998 was favorable.
 

     PROVISION FOR POSSIBLE LOAN LOSSES. The Company recorded no provision for
possible loan losses for both the first half of 1998 and 1997. 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 2.06% and 2.22% at June 30, 1998 and 1997,
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, 1998 and 1997.
 
There were no securities gains in the first six months of 1998 or of 1997.


     NONINTEREST EXPENSE. For the first six months of 1998 noninterest expense
increased $ 60,000 or 5.4 % compared to the same period in 1997.

Salaries and employee benefits , the largest component of noninterest expense,
increased by $ 20,000 or 3.7 % for the first six months of 1998 as compared to
the same period in 1997. Other non-interest expense increased by $ 35,000 or
12.0 % for the first half of 1998. Included in this increase was an increase in
advertising and promotion expense of $ 22,000 as compared to the first half of
1997.


     INCOME TAXES. The Company recorded provisions for income taxes of $ 216,000
in the first half of 1998 as compared to $ 207,000 in the first half of 1997.
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.

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 that 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.
