Item 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
         CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     The following is management's discussion and analysis of certain
significant factors which have affected the Company's financial position and
operating results during the periods indicated in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements.

Financial Condition

     For the three month period ended March 31, 1995, the assets of the
Company have decreased by $.2 million versus an increase of $.3 million in
1994.  

     Net loan growth was $.3 million for the current period, slightly less
than the $.7 million increase in 1994.  Total investments decreased $.6
million compared to an increase of $.9 million in 1994.

                                     4
<PAGE>
     Total investments decreased a modest $.6 million during the period
compared to an increase of $.6 million in 1994.  During 1994 U. S. Treasury
securities, held in the available-for-sale category, totaling $2 million with
maturities within one year were sold and reinvested in similar securities
with maturities of 4 to 6 years.  Also during 1994 an additional $2.5 million
U. S. Treasury securities were purchased in the 4 to 6 year maturities and
classified as held-for-sale. 

     Cash and cash equivalents decreased $.2 million in 1995 compared to a
decrease of $1 million in 1994. 

     The Company's loan growth during 1994 and 1995 stems from its commitment
to the local communities and servicing their needs.  The primary
concentration of loans continues to be in residential real estate-consisting
of loans to purchase and improve real estate, debt consolidation and home
equity lines of credit.  Loan demand has slowed during the last 6 months
because of the approximately 300 basis point increase in interest rates 
during 1994 with only a slight decline during the first quarter of 1995.

     During the remainder of 1995, management expects that loan demand will
continue to be slow as interest rates remain high nationwide and in the local
market area.

     The loan portfolio consists of the following (in thousands):
                                    March 31,     December 31,     March 31,

Less: unearned income on loans           490            575          1,065
Loans net of unearned income        $156,931       $156,569       $142,670

     Deposits increased by $6.3 million or 3.2% during the first quarter of 
1995 versus a decrease of $.9 million in 1994.  The creation of some 
promotional certificates of deposit with attractive rates resulted in the
deposit growth for 1995.  

     As discussed in the Management's Discussion and Analysis section of the
1994 annual report, during 1994 the rate paid on certificates of deposit
increased more rapidly that the rates paid on NOW and savings accounts.  This
trend, which continued into 1995, increased the growth of certificates of
deposit and offset the decrease in NOW and savings accounts.

     Borrowed funds decreased by a repayment of $6.9 million during 1995 (made 
possible by the deposit growth discussed above) compared to an increase of 
$1.6 million in 1994.  This decrease was the result of a repayment of the 
short term borrowing from the Federal Home Loan Bank.  The Company's daily 
cash requirements are now being met by using the financial instruments 
available through the Federal Home Loan Bank rather than using federal funds 
market.  A modest increase in loan demand as well as a significant increase 
in deposits for this period resulted in the decrease in short term borrowing.

Results of Operations

     Net income for the three month period ending March 31, 1995 was $608,000
a decrease of $14,000 over the 1994 related period.  Earnings per share was
$.46 during the first three months of 1995 compared to $.47 during the 1994
period. 

     Net interest income, the most significant component of earnings, is the
amount by which interest generated from earning assets exceeds interest
expense on liabilities.  Net interest income for the 1995 period, after 
provision for possible loan losses, was $2,265,000 an increase of $88,000 or

                                     6
<PAGE>
4% compared to an increase of $185,000 or 9.3% during the same time period in
1994.  Interest earning assets, not based on a tax-equivalent basis, was
8.43% and 8.08% (8.57% and 8.23% tax adjusted) in the first three months of
1995 and 1994, respectively, which resulted in a decrease of 35 basis points. 
The cost of funds was 4.77% and 4.08% in the three months of 1995 and 1994,
respectively, as deposit costs increased 69 basis points.  During the first
quarter of 1995, savings and NOW accounts were effected by the upward
pressure in interest rates as well as certificates of deposit.  This trend
reflects the general increase in interest rates that occurred during 1994 and
the first quarter of 1995 resulted in a decrease in the net interest spread
of 35 basis points (tax adjusted).

     As describe above, the Company has experienced a narrowing of it's
margin during the first quarter of 1995 as has a number of the banks
competing in the same market area.  Upward pressure in the cost of funds is
expected in the near future.  The Company continues to review various pricing
strategies to enhance deposit growth without margin compression.  

     Provision for possible loan losses decreased $25,000 to $50,000 in 1995,
compared to a provision of $75,000 in the same three month period of 1994. 
This decrease was appropriate given management's quarterly review of the
allowance for loan and lease losses which is based on the following
information; migration analysis of delinquent and non-accrual loans,
estimated future losses on loans, recent review of large problem credits,
local economic conditions, historical loss experience, OCC qualitative
adjustments and peer comparisons.

     Other operating income decreased by $28,000, primarily due to a decrease
in other income of $12,000.  There was $5,000 realized securities gains
during 1995 as compared to realized gains of $44,000 in 1994 resulting in a
net decrease of $39,000.

     Other operating expense was $1,709,000 in the first three months of 1995
which reflected an increase of $104,000 or 6.5% over the 1994 period. 
Salaries and benefits increased 6.2% or $47,000 for the current three month
period reflecting normal merit increases when compared to the same period in
1994.  Occupancy expense decreased by $8,000 or 6.5% and furniture and
equipment expenses remained nearly the same as 1994.  Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation(FDIC) insurance expense increased by $3,000 or 2.3%. 
Other expenses increased $65,000 or 13.5% in the three months of 1995 over
the 1994 related period representing an increase in postage, recruitment and
marketing costs.

     The FDIC (Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation) is currently evaluating
a significant premium reduction that may begin as early as September 1995.

     The provision for income taxes was $240,000 during the first three
months of 1995 compared to $270,000 during the 1994 related period.  Income
before taxes decreased $30,000 in the 1995 period as compared to the same
time period in 1994.

Liquidity

     Liquidity is a measure of the Company's ability to efficiently meet
normal cash flow requirements of both borrowers and depositors.  In order to
maintain proper liquidity, the Company uses funds management policies along

                                       7
<PAGE>
with its investment policies to assure it can meet its financial obligations
to depositors, credit customers and shareholders.  Liquidity is needed to
meet depositors' withdrawal demands, extend credit to meet borrowers' needs,
provide funds for normal operating expenses and cash dividends, as well as
fund other capital expenditures.  Management projected that capital
expenditures for 1995 would increase approximately $495,000 for optical check
imaging and needed renovations to branches and capital expenditures to keep
pace with current technology requirements.  During the first three months of
1995 $49,000 was expended as compared to capital acquisitions of $68,000
during the same period in 1994.  

     Management is currently renting three properties as a temporary solution
to the space limitations it has experienced at the main office.  Efforts are
continuing to evaluate various long term alternatives.

     Liquidity is achieved primarily by having temporary or short-term
investments in the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh, PA , federal funds
sold and investments which mature in a relatively short time period (such as
under one year).  The Company also maintains a credit line with the Federal
Home Loan Bank as an additional source of liquidity.

     The objective of interest rate sensitivity management is to maintain an
appropriate balance between the stable growth of income and the risks
associated with maximizing income through interest sensitivity imbalances.An
asset or liability is considered to be interest-sensitive if the rate it
yields or bears is subject to change within a predetermined time period.  If
interest-sensitive assets exceeds interest-sensitive liabilities during a
prescribed time period, a positive gap results.  Conversely, when
interest-sensitive liabilities exceeds interest-sensitive assets during a
time period, a negative gap results.

     A positive gap tends to indicate that earnings will be impacted
favorably if interest rates rise during the period and negatively when
interest rates fall during the time period.  A negative gap tends to indicate
that earnings will be effected inversely to interest rate changes.  In other
words, as interest rates fall, a negative gap should tend to produce a
positive effect on earnings and when interest rates rise, a negative gap
should tend to affect earnings negatively.

     The primary components of interest-sensitive assets include adjustable
rate loans and investments, loan repayments, investment maturities and money
market investments.  The primary components of interest-sensitive liabilities
include maturing certificates of deposit, money market deposits, savings
deposits, N.O.W. accounts and short-term borrowing.

     The Company's six-month asset/liability position at March 31, 1995, was
asset sensitive, with a dollar gap of $8.7 million or 1.10, while at December
31, 1994 the Company's liability sensitivity was at $(9.6) million or .91. 
Management was able to move to within its policy range (positive 1.25 to
negative .75) by the selection of assets to be purchased and the pricing of
liabilities acquired. 

     Gap analysis does not necessarily indicate the precise impact of
specific interest rate movements on the Company's net interest income because
the repricing of certain assets and liabilities is discretionary and is
subject to competitive and other pressures.  In addition, assets and

                                     8
<PAGE>
liabilities within the same period may, in fact, reprice at different times
and at different rate levels.

     Another method used the by Company to measure the impact of interest
rate changes on net interest income is to simulate the potential effects of
changing interest rates through computer modeling.  The Company is then able
to evaluate strategies which would include an acceleration of a deposit rate
reduction or rate increase and the related repricing strategies for loans.

General

     The Reigle Community Development and Regulatory Improvement Act which
was signed into law on September 23, 1994 included a reduction in the
regulatory burden of the banking industry.  Management believes that the
effect of the provisions of this legislation on liquidity, capital resources,
and the results of operations of the company will be immaterial.

     Aside from those matters described above, management does not believe
that there are any trends or uncertainties which would have a material impact
on future operating results, liquidity or capital resources nor is it aware
of any current recommendations by the regulatory authorities which if they
were to be implemented would have such an effect, although the general cost
of compliance with numerous and multiple federal and state laws and
regulations does have and in the future may have a negative impact on the
company's results of operations.

     In May, 1993, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors
for Impairment of a Loan," which was adopted by the Company January 1, 1995. 
SFAS 114 applies to loans other than groups of smaller-balance homogenous
loans (generally consumer loans) that are collectively evaluated for
impairment.  The standard requires that impairment of such loans be measured
generally based on the present value of expected future principal and
interest cash flows, discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, and
that a valuation allowance related to those impaired loans be established. 
Under SFAS 114, a loan is considered impaired when, based on current
information and events, it is probable that a creditor will be unable to
collect all amounts due.  Presently, credit losses on all loans are accounted
for through the allowance for credit losses, which is maintained at a level
adequate to absorb losses inherent in the portfolio. 

     In October, 1994, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 118, "Accounting by
Creditors for Impairment of a Loan - Income Recognition and Disclosures" an
amendment of SFAS No. 114.  This statement amends SFAS 114 to allow a
creditor to use existing methods for recognizing interest income on impaired
loans and the disclosure requirements regarding the recorded investment in
certain impaired loans and how a creditor recognizes interest income related
to those impaired loans.  The Company has no loans meeting the definition of
impairment as of March 31, 1995.  The effect of adopting the new standards
did not have a significant impact on earnings, capital, etc.
