Summary
- - -------

 The Corporation's net income for the six months ended June 30, 1996,
 was $968,246 as compared to $543,054 for the time period ended 
 June 30, 1995.  This represents an increase of $425,192 or 78.3%.  
 Earnings per share totaled $1.28 for the six months ended June 30,
 1996, as compared to earnings per share of $.72 for the six months ended

                  SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996
            AS COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995   

Net Interest Income
- - ------------------ 

  Net interest and dividend income for the six months ended
  June 30, 1996, totaled $4,086,204 as compared to $3,668,944 
  for the same time period in 1995.  This is an increase of
  $417,260 or 11.4%.  Total interest income equaled $6,241,403
  for the six months ended June 30, 1996 as compared to
  $5,638,077 for the same time period in 1995, an increase of
  $603,326 or 10.7%.  Loan income for the six months ended June
  30, 1996, totaled $4,811,581 as compared to $4,035,483 for the
  same time period in 1995.  This increase of $776,098 or 19.2%
  reflects the continued increased loan production and the
  reduction of non-performing loans.  Interest and Dividends on
  taxable Investment Securities for the six months ended June 30,
  1996 totaled $1,151,743 as compared to $1,425,097 for the same
  period in 1995. This is a decrease of $273,354 or 19.2%.  As
  taxable investment securities matured funds were redeployed to
  fund loan growth.  In this regard, the investment portfolio was
  reduced by $3,129,170 during the first six months while net
  loans increased $7,169,235.  The interest earned from federal
  funds sold increased $10,317 or 6.6% for the six months ended
  June 30, 1996 as compared to 1995. 

  Other interest was recorded in the amount of $98,727 for the
  six months ending June 30, 1996 as compared to $-0- for the 
  corresponding time period in 1995. This interest is non-recurring 
  and relative to a refund associated with taxation of municipal

<PAGE>

  Deposit interest expense equaled $2,125,505 for the six months 
  ended June 30, 1996, as compared to $1,917,503 for the same 
  period in 1995.  This increase of $208,002 or 10.9% reflects the 
  current strategy of managing the cost of funds of the Bank.  
  Average deposit rates have increased slightly during 1996 in 
  comparison to 1995.   

  Notes payable interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 1996
  decreased $21,936 in comparison to 1995 due to the reduction of
  corporate borrowings.     


Loan Loss Provision
- - -------------------  

  The provision for the possible loan losses for the
  six months ended June 30, 1996 was $-0- as compared to $60,000
  for the same period in 1995.  At June  30, 1996, the
  Corporation's allowance for possible loan losses was $2,221,186
  representing 2.0% of gross loans at June 30, 1996 as compared to
  2.0% of total loans at December 31, 1995.  Factors that enabled
  the Bank to reduce provisions included management's evaluation
  of improving economic conditions including a stable local
  economy and the reduction of non-performing loan balances.  

  The Corporation's non-accrual loans were $1,957,531 at June 30, 1996
  as compared to $2,374,226 at December 31, 1995.  The decrease in
  non-accrual loans can be attributed primarily to the additional
  resources devoted to addressing the loans that are in
  non-accrual status. 

  The ratio of non-performing assets to total loans and mortgages
  held for sale was 1.73% for June 30, 1996 as compared to 2.97%
  as of December 31, 1995. This decrease can be attributed to the 
  reduction of non-performing assets of $416,695.  The ratio of
  allowance for loan losses to non-performing assets equaled
  113.5% at June 30, 1996 as compared to 66.6% at December 31, 1995.   

  A total of $457,671 loans were charged off by the
  Corporation during the first six months of 1996 as compared to
  $58,239 charged off during the corresponding period in 1995. 
  These charge-offs consisted primarily of loans to small
  businesses and individuals.  A total of $606,334 was recovered
  of previously charged off notes by the Corporation during the
  six  month period ended June 30, 1996, as compared to $67,161
  recovered of previously charged off notes during the
  corresponding period in 1995.

  ended June 30, 1996 as compared to $452,312 for six months

  ended June 30, 1996, as compared to $3,640,862 for the same

  $289,895 or 8.0%.  Salaries and benefits totaled $1,946,448 
  for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and $2,012,612 for 
  the same time period in 1995.  This decrease of $66,164 or
  3.3% can be attributed to reduction of some benefit costs, 
  decreased staff and limited salary increases.  Occupancy
  expense totaled $306,979 for the six months ended June 30,
  1996 as compared to $301,909 for the same period in 1995. 
  This increase is due to increased rental expense and repair

  $207,700  for the six months ending June 30, 1996 as
  compared to $161,964 for the same period  in 1995.  An

  upgrades.  Data processing fees totaled $108,448 for the six
  months ended June 30, 1996 as compared to $177,706 for the
  corresponding time period in 1995.  The decrease of $69,258 or
  39.0% is related to the data processing upgrades and related
  1995 expenses.  The FDIC Insurance Premium totaled $1,000 for
  the six months ended June 30, 1996 as compared to $188,900 for
  the corresponding period in 1995.  This is a decrease of
  $187,900 or 99.5% of premium expense.  This decrease is based on
  the reduction of FDIC  Insurance premiums.  Stationary and
  supplies totaled $72,345 at six months ended June 30, 1996 as
  compared to $61,825 for the corresponding period in 1995.  Legal

  provision of $376,500 for the same time period in 1995.  This
  increase reflects the increase in taxable income.  


Net Income  
- - ----------

  Net income amounted to $968,246 for the six months ended 
  June 30, 1996 as compared to net income of $543,054
  for the same period in 1995, which is an increase of $425,192 or
  78.3%.  The increase in net income for six  months can be
  attributed to: increased loan production; collection of
  non-recurring interest; reduced loan loss provisions to the
  Allowance for Loan Losses; recovery non-recurring trust
  expenses; and reduction of the FDIC insurance premium.

Net Interest Income
- - ------------------- 

  Net interest and dividend income for the three months 
  ended June 30, 1996, totaled $2,158,916 as compared to 
  $1,783,804 for the same time period in 1995.  This
  increase was $375,112 or 21.0%.  Total interest and dividend
  income equaled $3,146,359 for the three months ended June 30,
  1996 as compared to $2,841,510 for the same time period in 1995,
  an increase of $304,849 or 10.7%.  Loan income for the three
  months ended June 30, 1996, totaled $2,471,483 as compared to
  $2,022,798 for the same time period in 1995.  This increase of
  $448,685 or 22.2% represents increased loan production, recovery
  of non-accrual income and the reduction of non-performing
  assets. Interest and Dividends on Investment Securities for the
  three months ended June 30, 1996 totaled $574,739 as compared to
  $692,020 for the same period in 1995.  This is a decrease of
  $117,281 or 16.9%.  Investment securities that matured funded
  the loan growth, during the quarter.  The investment portfolio
  decreased $929,468 during the second quarter.  The interest
  earned from federal funds sold decreased $26,555 or 21.0% for
  the three months ended June 30, 1996 when compared to the same
  time period in 1995.

  Other interest was recorded in the amount of $98,727 for the 
  three months ending June 30, 1996 as compared to $-0- for the 
  corresponding time in 1995.  This interest is non-recurring and 
  relative to taxation of municipal amortization of investment 
  premiums.

  Deposit interest expense equaled $1,071,362 for the three months 
  ended June 30, 1996, as compared to $1,030,465 for the same period
  in 1995. This increase of $40,897 or 4.0% reflects the current
  strategy of managing the cost of funds of the Bank.  The Bank
  generally pays competitive rates for its deposit base in the local market.   

  Notes payable interest expense for the three months ended June
  30, 1996 decreased $12,433 in comparison to the corresponding
  time period in 1995 due to corporate borrowings and a lower
  interest rate environment.


Loan Loss Provision 
- - ------------------- 

  No provisions to the allowance for possible loan losses were 
  made during the second calendar quarters of 1996 or 1995, 
  respectively.  At June 30, 1996, the Corporation's allowance 
  for possible loan losses was $2,221,186 representing
  2.0% of gross loans as compared to the ratio of 2.0% of total
  loans at December 31, 1995. 
<PAGE>

  The Corporation's non-accrual loans were $1,957,531 at June 30, 
  1996 as compared to $2,374,226 at December 31, 1995.  The decrease 
  in non-accrual loans can be attributed primarily to the additional 
  resources devoted to collecting the loans that are in non-accrual status. 

  The ratio of non-performing assets to total loans and mortgages held
  for sale was 1.73% for June 30, 1996 as compared to 2.97% as of
  December 31, 1995. This decrease can be attributed to the
  reduction of non-performing assets of $416,695.  The ratio of
  allowance for loan losses to non-performing assets equaled
  113.5% at June 30, 1996 as compared to 66.6% at December 31,
  1995.

  A total of $423,452 loans were charged off by the
  Corporation during the second quarter of 1996 as compared to
  $3,395 charged off during the corresponding period in 1995. 
  These charge-offs consisted primarily of loans to small
  businesses and individuals.  A total of $351,029 was recovered
  of previously charged off notes by the Corporation during the
  three month period ended June 30, 1996, as compared to $56,142
  recovered during the corresponding period in 1995.   


Noninterest Income  
- - ------------------  

  Noninterest income totaled $477,446 for the three months 
  ended June 30, 1996 as compared to $465,864 for three 
  months ended June 30, 1995.  This is an increase of $11,582
  or 2.5%.  Income from fiduciary activities totaled $232,457
  for the three months ended June 30, 1996 as compared to 
  $213,602 for the three months ended June 30, 1995.  Service 
  charges on deposit accounts totaled $106,380 for the three 
  months ended June 30, 1996, as compared to $111,273 for the 
  same time period in 1995.  Reduced deposit volume created 
  this situation.  Other deposit fees increased $1,556 or
  2.7% for the three months ended June 30, 1996 as compared to the
  same time period in 1995.  There were no net security gains
  posted for the three month periods ended June 30, 1996 and June
  30, 1995.  Other income for the three month period ended June
  30, 1996 totaled $78,931 as compared to $82,867 for the three
  month period ended June 30, 1995, a decrease of $3,936 or 4.8%. 


Noninterest Expense  
- - -------------------  

  Noninterest expense totaled $1,790,909 for the three months 
  ended June 30, 1996, as compared to $1,803,745 for the same
  time period in 1995.  This decrease totaled $12,836 or .7%.  
  Salaries and benefits totaled $1,007,392 for the three months 
  ended June 30, 1996 and $1,004,693 for the same time period 
  in 1995.  Occupancy expense totaled $143,381 for the three 


<PAGE>

  months ended June 30, 1996 as compared to $141,359 for the 
  same period in 1995.  The costs of equipment totaled $103,673 
  for the three months ended June 30, 1996 as compared to $80,034
  for the same period in 1995.  The increased equipment expense 
  can be attributed to the purchase of additional equipment in 
  connection with the implementation of the data processing system. 
  An additional $217,000 of equipment was purchased during the 
  third quarter 1995 relative to a data processing upgrade.  
  Data processing fees totaled $55,623 for the three months ended
  June 30, 1996 as compared to $95,393 for the corresponding time
  in 1995. This decrease of $39,770 or 41.7% relates to the 
  additional data processing costs in 1995.  The FDIC Insurance
  Premium was $500 for the three  months ended June 30, 1996 as 
  compared to $94,200 for the corresponding period in 1995. 
  This is a decrease of $93,700 or 99.5% of premium expense. 
  This decrease is based on the reduction of  FDIC Insurance.  
  Other expenses totaled $443,756 at three months ended June 30,
  1996 as compared to $360,771 for the same period in 1995.  
  This reflects the increases in marketing costs.     


Income Taxes  
- - ------------  

  The income tax provision for the three months ended June 30,
  1996 totaled $353,000 in comparison to an income tax provision of
  $154,757 for the same time period in 1995.  This increase
  reflects an increase of taxable income.  


Net Income 
- - ---------- 

  Net income amounted to $492,453 for the three months
  ended June 30, 1996 as compared to net income of $291,166 for
  the same period in 1995, which is an increase of $201,287 or
  69.1%.  The increase in net income for the quarter can be
  attributed to: recovery of interest, increased loan production,
  recovery of non-accrual interest, no loan loss provision,
  stabilized salary and benefits costs, along with the reduction
  of the FDIC insurance premium.     


Capital Resources 
- - -----------------  

  As of June 30, 1996, the Corporation had total
  capital in the amount of $14,263,835, as compared with
  $13,470,752 at December 31, 1995, which represents an increase
  of $793,083 or 5.9%.

<PAGE>

  The Bank is required to maintain a Tier 1 capital at a level 
  equal to or greater than 4.0% of the Bank's adjusted total
  assets.  As of June 30, 1996, the Bank's Tier 1
  capital amounted to 7.49% of total assets.  In addition, banks
  and holding companies must maintain minimum levels of risk-based
  capital equal to risk weighted assets of 8.00%.  At June 30,
  1996, the Bank's ratio of risk-based capital to risk weighted
  assets amounted to 12.77%, which satisfies the applicable risk
  based capital requirements.  As of December 31, 1995, the
  Corporation's Tier 1 capital amounted to 7.35% of total assets
  and risk based capital amounted to 12.57% of total risk based
  assets.  The capital ratios of the Corporation and the Bank
  exceed regulatory requirements.     


Liquidity  
- - ---------  

  The primary function of asset/liability management is to assure
  adequate liquidity and maintain an appropriate balance between
  interest-sensitive earning assets and interest-bearing
  liabilities.  Liquidity management involves the ability to meet
  the cash flow requirements of customers who may be either
  depositors wanting to withdraw funds or borrowers needing
  assurance that sufficient funds will be available to meet their
  credit needs.  Interest rate sensitivity management seeks to
  avoid fluctuating net interest margins and to enhance consistent
  growth of net interest income through periods of changing
  interest rates.

  Certain marketable investment securities, particularly those of 
  shorter maturities, are the principal source of asset liquidity.
  The Corporation maintains such securities in an available for
  sale account as a liquidity resource.  Securities maturing in one
  year or less amounted to approximately $11,840,261 or 28.7% at 
  June 30, 1996 of the investment securities portfolio, and 
  $16,843,430 at December 31, 1995, representing 37.9% of the 
  investment securities portfolio.  Assets such as federal funds
  sold, mortgages held for sale, as well as maturing loans are also 
  sources of liquidity.  The Corporation's goal and general practice 
  is to be interest rate sensitive neutral, and maintain a net 
  cumulative gap at one year or less than 10% of Total Earning Assets,
  so that changes in interest rates should not dramatically impact
  income as assets and liabilities mature and reprice concurrently.
