                NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                             MARCH 31, 1998
__________________________________________________________________________

1.   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 Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  
     Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes 
     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.  The results of operations for 
     any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results expected 
     for the full year.  These consolidated financial statements should be 
     read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and 
     notes thereto contained in the Company's Annual Report to 
     shareholders and Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1997. 


2.   EARNINGS PER SHARE

     The Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement 
     No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" (SFAS No. 128), effective December 31, 
     1997.  This Statement requires the presentation of "basic" earnings 
     per share, which excludes the effect of dilution, and "diluted" 
     earnings per share, which includes the effect of dilution.  The 
     Company's "basic" and "diluted" earnings per share computations are 
     identical in the periods presented, as there is no dilution effect.  
     Earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of shares 
     outstanding during the period.


3.   COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

     The Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement 
     No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" (SFAS No. 130), effective 
     January 1, 1998.  SFAS No. 130 establishes standards for reporting 
     comprehensive income and its components (revenues, expenses, gains 
     and losses).  Components of comprehensive income are net income and 
     all other non-owner changes in equity.  The Statement requires that 
     an enterprise (a) classify items of other comprehensive income by 
     their nature in a financial statement and (b) display the accumulated 
     balance of other comprehensive income separately from retained 
     earnings and additional paid-in capital in the equity section of a 
     statement of financial position.  Reclassification of financial 
     statements for earlier periods provided for comparative purposes is 
     required.

     The Company has chosen to disclose comprehensive income in a separate 
     income statement, in which the components of comprehensive income are

4.   OPERATING SEGMENTS

     The Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement 
     No. 131, "Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related 
     Information", (SFAS No. 131), effective January 1, 1998.  This 
     Statement establishes standards for reporting information about 


                                   -8-
<PAGE>

     segments in annual and interim financial statements.  SFAS No. 131 
     introduces a new model for segment reporting called the "management 
     approach".  The management approach is based on the way the chief 
     operating decision-maker organizes segments within the company for 
     making operating decisions and assessing performance.  Reportable 
     segments are based on products and services, geography, legal 
     structure, management structure and any other in which management 
     disaggregates a company.  Based on the "management approach" model, 
     the Company has determined that its business is comprised of a single 
     operating segment and that SFAS No. 131 therefore has no impact on 
     its financial statements.


5.   RECLASSIFICATIONS

     Certain amounts in the prior period's financial statements have been 
     reclassified to be consistent with the current period's presentation.  
     The reclassifications have no effect on net income.

                       PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION

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

SUMMARY

The Company recorded net income of $920,596 for the three months ended 
March 31, 1998, representing an increase of $144,781 or 18.7% over 
$775,815 for the same period in 1997.  Earnings per share of $.315 for 
the current period represented an increase of $.051 from $.264 for the 
three months ended March 31, 1997.

The improvement in net income resulted primarily from an increase in net 
interest income and noninterest income, partially offset by increases in 
salaries and benefits, occupancy, furniture and equipment and credit card 
processing.

Deposits of $236,408,387 at March 31, 1998 increased by $3,619,853 or 
1.6% from $232,788,534 at December 31, 1997.  The increase in deposits 
occurred in the interest bearing categories of money market deposit 
accounts, NOW accounts, savings accounts and certificates of deposit.

Loans of $139,780,721 at March 31, 1998 did not change significantly from 
$139,839,853 at December 31, 1997.  A slight increase was realized in 
home equity loans while slight decreases were experienced in commercial 
loans, residential real estate mortgages and installment loans.  
Noncurrent loans (nonaccrual loans and loans 90 days or more past due but 
still accruing) totaled $906,332 and $871,619 at March 31, 1998 and 
December 31, 1997, respectively.  There were no accruing troubled debt 
restructurings at March 31, 1998 or December 31, 1997.

Assets of $280,135,732 at March 31, 1998 represented a $6,585,205 or 2.4% 
increase from $273,550,527 at December 31, 1997.

             Three months ended March 31, 1998 as Compared To
                    Three months ended March 31, 1997       
             ------------------------------------------------

NET INTEREST INCOME

Interest income for the three months ended March 31, 1998 was $4,921,179, 
representing an increase of $361,746 or 7.9% from $4,559,433 for the 
three months ended March 31, 1997, primarily due to higher loan and 
securities balances in 1998.  Interest expense was $1,805,774, 
representing an increase of $166,540 or 10.2% from $1,639,234 for the 
three months ended March 31, 1997, primarily due to higher average 
interest bearing deposit and repurchase agreement balances in 1998.  Net 
interest income for the three months ended March 31, 1998 was $3,115,405, 
representing an increase of $195,206 or 6.7% from $2,920,199 for the 
three months ended March 31, 1997.

NONINTEREST INCOME AND EXPENSE

Noninterest income for the three months ended March 31, 1998 was 
$782,601, representing an increase of $164,021 or 26.5% from $618,580 for 
the three months ended March 31, 1997.  This increase was primarily the 
result of increases in merchant credit card assessments, gains on sales 
of loans and other charges, commissions and fees, partially offset by a 
reduction in service charges and other income.

Noninterest expense for the three months ended March 31, 1998 of 
$2,437,129 was up $154,658 or 6.8% from $2,282,471 for the same period in 
1997.  This increase was primarily the result of increases in salaries 
and employee benefits, occupancy, furniture and equipment, credit card 
processing and other expense.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

There was no provision for loan losses for the three months ended March 
31, 1998 or 1997, reflecting management's continuing evaluation of the 
adequacy of the allowance for loan losses and its belief that the 
allowance is adequate.

INCOME TAXES

Income tax expense of $540,281 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 
compared to $480,493 for the same period in 1993, the result of an 
increase in taxable income during the current period.

NET INCOME

Net income of $920,596 for the first three months of 1998 represented an 
increase of $144,781 or 18.7% from $775,815 recorded for the first three 
months of 1997.  Earnings per share of $.315 for the current period 
represented an increase of $.051 from $.264 for the three months ended 
March 31, 1997.

ALLOWANCE FOR POSSIBLE LOAN LOSSES

The allowance for possible loan losses is maintained at a level believed 
by management to be adequate to absorb potential losses in the loan 
portfolio.  Management's methodology in determining the adequacy of the 
allowance considers specific credit reviews, past loan loss experience, 
current economic conditions and trends and the volume, growth and 
composition of the loan portfolio.  Each loan on the Company's internal 
Watch List is evaluated periodically to estimate potential losses.  For 
loans with potential losses, the bank sets aside or "allocates" a portion 
of the ALLL against such potential losses.  For the remainder of the 
portfolio, "unallocated" reserve amounts are determined based on 
judgments regarding the type of loan, economic conditions and trends, 
potential exposure to loss and other factors.  The allowance for possible 
loan losses is charged when management determines that the repayment of 
the principal on a loan is in doubt.  Subsequent recoveries, if any, are 
credited to the allowance.  At March 31, 1998, the balance in the 
allowance was $3,125,737 representing 345% of noncurrent loans, compared 
to $3,215,559 or 369% of noncurrent loans at December 31, 1997.

SECURITIES

The Company's securities portfolio consists of obligations of the U.S. 
Treasury, U.S. government sponsored agencies, mortgage backed securities 
and obligations of various municipalities.  Those assets are used in part 
to secure public deposits and as collateral for repurchase agreements.
Total securities were $97,749,586 at March 31, 1998, representing an 
increase of $2,565,196 or 2.7% from $95,184,390 at December 31, 1997.  At
March 31, 1998, $36,778,085 in securities were classified as "available 
for sale".  There were no sales of securities during the three months 
ended March 31, 1998.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's primary sources of liquidity are customer deposits, 
amortization and pay-offs of loan principal and maturities of investment 
securities.  These sources provide funds for loan originations, the 
purchase of investment securities and other activities.  Deposits are 
considered a relatively stable source of funds.  At March 31, 1998 and 
1997, deposits were $236.4 and $215.7 million, respectively.  Management 
anticipates that deposits will remain relatively stable or grow 
moderately during the remainder of 1998.

As a nationally chartered member of the Federal Reserve System, the Bank 
has the ability to borrow funds from the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston 
by pledging certain of its investment securities as collateral.  Also, 
the Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank which provides 
additional borrowing opportunities.

Bank regulatory authorities have established a capital measurement tool 
called "Tier 1" leverage capital.  A 4.00% ratio of Tier 1 capital to 
assets now constitutes the minimum capital standard for most banking 
organizations.  At March 31, 1998, the Company's Tier 1 leverage capital 
ratio was 8.21%.  Regulatory authorities have also implemented risk-based 
capital guidelines requiring a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk 
weighted assets of 4.00% and a minimum ratio of total capital to risk-
weighted assets of 8.00%.  At March 31, 1998 the Company's Tier 1 and 
total risk-based capital ratios were 14.82% and 16.08%, respectively.  
The Bank is categorized as "well capitalized" under the Federal Deposit 
Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 (F.D.I.C.I.A.).

On March 17, 1998, the Company's Board of Directors declared a first 
quarter 1998 cash dividend of $.077 per share of common stock to 
shareholders of record at March 1, 1998, payable on April 15, 1998.

ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT

The Company has an asset/liability management committee which oversees 
all asset/liability activities of the Company.  The committee establishes 
general guidelines each year and meets regularly to review the Company's 
operating results and to make strategic changes when necessary.

It is the Company's general policy to reasonably match the rate 
sensitivity of its assets and liabilities.  A common benchmark of this 
sensitivity is the one year gap position, which is a reflection of the 
difference between the speed and magnitude of rate changes of interest 
rate sensitive liabilities as compared with the Bank's ability to adjust 
the rates of it's interest rate  sensitive assets in response to such 
changes.  The Company's positive cumulative one year gap position at 
March 31, 1998, representing the excess of repricing assets versus 
repricing liabilities within a one year time frame, was 4.5% of total 
assets.
