                                 June 30, 2000

NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of
Rule 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 considered necessary
for a fair presentation have been included.  All such adjustments were of a
normal recurring nature.  Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior
period's financial statements to place them on a comparable basis with the
current period's financial statements.  Operating results are for the six-month
period ended June 30, 2000, and are not necessarily indicative of the results
that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2000.  For further
information refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included as
Exhibit 13 to Corporation's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1999.

NOTE B - OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

Comprehensive income is defined as net income plus transactions and other
occurrences that are the result of nonowner changes in equity.  Other
comprehensive income is defined as comprehensive income exclusive of net income.
Unrealized gains and losses on available for sale investment securities
represent the sole component of the Corporation's other comprehensive income.

NOTE D - COMPENSATION PLANS

The Corporation has two stock option plans.  The 1998 Officer Stock Option Plan
(the "Officer Plan") provides for the issuance of options to purchase shares of
the Corporation's common stock to officers of the Corporation and its
subsidiaries.  The options have an original term of ten years with an exercise
price equal to the market price of the common stock on the date of grant, as
defined by the plan.  The options vest 20% per year after their date of grant.
During the six months ended June 30, 2000, no options were granted under the
Officer Plan.  The weighted average remaining contractual life of currently
outstanding options is 96 months.  At June 30, 2000, 58,470 options were
outstanding and options for 111,530 shares of common stock were reserved for
future issuance for the Officer Plan.  As of June 30, 2000, no options had been
exercised under the Officer Plan, and 6,250 options had expired unexercised.

NOTE D - COMPENSATION PLANS (Continued)

The Corporation's second plan, the 1998 Director Stock Option Plan (the
"Director Plan"), provides for the issuance of options to purchase shares of the
Corporation's common stock to directors of the Corporation and its subsidiaries.
The options have an original term of ten years with an exercise price equal to
the market price of the common stock on the date of grant, as defined by the
plan.  The options are fully vested upon their date of grant.  During the six
months ended June 30, 2000, no options were granted under the Director Plan.
The weighted average remaining contractual life of currently outstanding options
is 96 months.  At June 30, 2000, 18,000 options were outstanding and options for
12,000 shares of common stock were reserved for future issuance for the Director
Plan.  As of June 30, 2000, no options had been exercised under the Director
Plan.

The Corporation accounts for the Officer Plan and the Director Plan under the
provision of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock Based Compensation".  As
permitted by SFAS No. 123, the Corporation has chosen to apply APB Opinion No.
25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" and related interpretations in
accounting for its plans.  Accordingly, no compensation cost had been recognized
for options granted under the plans.  Had compensation cost for the
Corporation's plans been determined based on the fair value at the grant dates
for awards under the plans consistent with the method of SFAS No. 123, the
Corporation's net income and net income per share would have been decreased to
the pro forma amounts indicated below.

NOTE E - REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

Regulators of the Corporation and its subsidiaries have implemented risk-based
capital guidelines which require the maintenance of certain minimum capital as a
percent of assets and certain off-balance sheet items adjusted for predefined
credit risk factors.  The regulatory minimums as defined by regulation for Tier
1 and combined Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital ratios were 4.0% and 8.0% respectively.
Tier 1 capital includes tangible common shareholders' equity reduced by goodwill
and certain other intangibles.  Tier 2 capital includes portions of the
allowance for loan losses, not to exceed Tier 1 capital.  In addition to the
risk-based guidelines, a minimum leverage ratio (Tier 1 capital as a percentage
of average total consolidated assets) of 4% is required.   The following table
contains the capital ratios for the Corporation and each subsidiary as of June
30, 2000 and 1999.

          MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                           AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

During the second quarter of 2000 net income decreased $10,000 or 1.1% from the
$882,000 earned during the second three months of 1999, to $872,000 earned
during the same period in 2000.  During the second quarter of 2000, the interest
margin increased approximately $695,000, or 21.3%, primarily due to having a
full quarter of operations with the addition of the Hinton, West Virginia office
in late June 1999.  However, this improvement was offset by an increase in the
provision for loan losses of $214,000, or 178%.  This increase included an
addition to the allowance for loan losses of $150,000 due to deterioration in
the past-due status of certain commercial loans.  Also, there was an increase in
noninterest expenses of $469,000, or 18.3%. This increase reflected the
additional cost of personnel due to expanding markets and additional costs of
technology and facilities.  Earnings per share were $0.44 for both the second
quarters of 2000 and 1999.

When compared to the first quarter of 2000, net income decreased $81,000, from
$953,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2000, to $872,000 for the quarter ended
June 30, 2000.  The net interest margin increased $95,000, or 2.5%.  This
increase was offset, as was previously mentioned, by an increase in the
provision for loan losses of $130,000, along with an increase in noninterest
expenses of $42,000 when compared with the first quarter of 2000.  Earnings per
share decreased $0.04 per share from $0.48 per share for the quarter ended March
31, 2000, to $0.44 per share for the quarter ended June 30, 2000.

                                 June 30, 2000


Net income was $1,825,000 for the first six months of 2000 which was an increase
of $227,000, or 14.2%, over the 1999 level of $1,598,000.  The interest margin
increased $1,540,000, or 24.5%, from $6,295,000 for the period ended June 30,
1999 to $7,835,000 for the period ended June 30, 2000.  This increase was
attributable to a full six months of operations from the Hinton office in 2000,
as well as the repricing that occurred in the loan portfolio as a result of the
rising interest rate environment experienced through the first six months of
2000.  Noninterest income, net of securities transactions increased $174,000, or
12.7%.  All components of noninterest income improved, reflecting enhanced
pricing strategies for the Corporation's products and services.  Noninterest
expenses increased $979,000, or 19.5%, to $6,008,000 for the six months ended
June 30, 2000, from $5,029,000 for the same period in 1999.  This included
additional personnel expenses for the Hinton office, as well as, an additional
$158,000 in goodwill amortization attributable to that acquisition.

Earnings per share for the six-month period ended June 30, 2000 were $0.91
compared to $0.80 per share for 1999.  The Corporation's performance through
June 30, 2000 reflects an annualized return on average assets of 0.99% and a
return on average equity of 12.50%.

Total assets increased $3,594,000 from December 31, 1999 to June 30, 2000.
Total assets at June 30, 2000 were approximately $371.2 million as compared to
approximately $367.6 million at December 31, 1999. The loan portfolio increased
0.5% during this six-month period, to approximately $245.2 million.  The
investment portfolio increased approximately $6.8 million, or 7.9%, during this
same period.  During the first quarter of 2000, short-term investments that were
accumulated in anticipation of liquidity concerns surrounding the Year 2000
(Y2K) problem were deployed into more profitable investments.  Total deposits
decreased by $2.1 million to $317.8 million at June 30, 2000 from $319.9 million
at December 31, 1999.  The decrease in deposits was exclusively in the interest-
bearing category.  Competition for deposits remains strong in the Corporation's
primary trade areas between banks and other nontraditional financial service
providers.
