                                 RATE VOLUME ANALYSIS

          The following table represents a summary of the changes in
          interest earned and interest paid as a result of changes in rates
          and changes in volumes.
          For each category of earning assets and interest-bearing
          liabilities, information is provided with respect to changes
          attributable to change in rate (change in rate multiplied by old
          volume) and change in volume (change in volume multiplied by old
          rate). The change in interest due to both volume and rate has
          been allocated to volume and rate changes in proportion to the
          relationship of the absolute dollar amounts of the change in
          each.

          7.  INCOME TAXES:
              The company adopted Financial Accounting Standards No. 109
               Accounting for Income Taxes  effective January 1, 1993. The
              standard requires adoption of a liability method of
              accounting for income taxes. The accounting change had no
              effect on the company s net income or retained earnings.


              Components of income tax expense for the period ended June
              30, 1995 are as follows:

                         MANAGEMENT S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

              The results of operations for June 30, 1995 as compared to
          June 30, 1994 show similar growth in the balance sheet as from
          1993 to 1994 with total assets growing almost 13.0% in both
          comparisons. The major changes are found in the investment and
          loan portfolios. The investment portfolio, which has grown by
          more than $12,000,000, has grown predominantly in the area of
          USGovernment agency debentures which were purchased with the
          intent to hold to maturity. The Bank s available for sale
          portfolio is very small, but has increased its appreciation of
          net unrealized gains to $79,000 as of June 30, 1995. In the loan
          portfolio, which has grown by $23,000,000 in the past twelve
          months, the Bank s concentration has been through the extension
          to its customers of loans secured by real estate totaling
          $16,700,000 more than one year ago.

              Funding for the asset growth has come from increases in
          deposits totalling $22,000,000 and predominantly from interest
          bearing certificates of deposit. As opportunities have surfaced
          to attract lower cost deposits and repurchase agreements,
          advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank have not increased.
          Short term borrowings will be reduced through seasonal deposit
          growth, investment maturities and/or calls and principal paydowns
          from the Bank s mortgage backed securities portfolio.

              Liquidity is measured by the Bank s ability to meet cash
          needs at a reasonable cost or minimum loss to the Bank. Liquidity
          management involves the ability to meet cash flow requirements of
          its customers, which may come from depositors withdrawing funds
          or borrowers requiring funds to meet credit needs. Without
          adequate liquidity management, the Bank would not be able to meet
          the needs of the individuals and communities it serves. The
          Bank s policy is to maintain its liquidity position at a minimum
          of 5% of total assets. At June 30, 1995 the Bank has liquidity in
          excess of 10% in its balance sheet.

              How the changes in the balance sheet have affected the Bank
          may be viewed through the earnings statement for the periods
          ending June 30, 1993, 1994 and 1995. Overall, the net earnings
          for the Bank are $489,000 ahead of last year s first six months 
          earnings which represents a 21% increase. Net interest income for
          the first six months of 1995 has added strong earnings and is
          affected by rates, volumes and the mix of earning assets and
          interest bearing liabilities. Increases in the loan portfolio
          have afforded the Bank additional interest income of $1,097,000
          due to increases in volumes, with further increases of $575,000
          due to changes in rates. The Bank increased its base lending rate
          by 125 basis points between June 30, 1994 and June 30, 1995.
          Although only a portion of loans are immediately affected by
          changes in the Bank s base rate, the effect of the increases has
          over time increased the yields in the portfolio. Loan yields have
          increased by 55 basis points over the past twelve months and
          represents the first increase in several years. Decreases in

          yields experienced in 1994 and 1993 were 55 and 64 basis points
          respectively. Interest on investments has also increased both due
          to volumes ($262,000) and to increased rates ($312,000). Similar
          to the loan yields, 1995 is the first year in several in which
          the overall investment yield increased rather than decreased.
          Yields on investments have increased by 47 basis points during
          the past year while experiencing 77 and 72 basis point drops in
          1994 and 1993 respectively. It is the boost from the increases in
          rates in the Bank s earning assets that have helped to offset the
          increases seen in liability costs as described below.
              
              As interest rates began to rise on earning assets, rates
          have likewise risen on the liability side of the balance sheet
          with the cost of deposited funds increasing from June 1994 to
          June 1995 by 64 basis points. Additionally, rates rose on
          borrowed funds during the past twelve months by over 100 basis
          points. Due to this increase in borrowed funds costs, the Bank
          elected to promote certificates of deposit early in 1995, locking
          in acceptable rates for the Bank which were lower than
          alternative sources of funding. Taking into consideration the
          increased cost of borrowings and the increased volumes in
          certificates of deposit, the Bank s overall cost of purchased
          funds increased by $1,471,000 when compared to June of 1994. With
          increases on both sides of the balance sheet, the Bank s earnings
          remain strong with its net interest income $775,000 more than one
          year ago.

              With regards to interest rate sensitivity, the Bank is
          positioned well for any interest rate cycle with only $7,000,000
          more of its earning assets repricing within a year when compared
          to its liabilities. On the shorter run (out to 90 days), the Bank
          has $3,000,000 more in liabilities which are sensitive to rate
          changes than assets which, although small in significance, is
          timed well for the reduction of 25 basis points taken by the
          Federal Reserve on July 6, 1995.

              Due to changes in the methodology used for computing the
          reserve for possible loan losses, the Bank increased its ratio to
          gross loans to over 2% beginning in 1993 and through June 30,
          1995 has maintained that reserve to loan ratio. The Bank reviews
          its allocation to the reserve on a monthly basis and funds the
          reserve as deemed necessary. Losses for 1995 were originally
          estimated at $950,000 with $322,000 charged off through June 30,
          1995 and $226,000 charged off in the first six months in 1994.
          Included in loans on a non-accrual basis as of June 30, 1995 are
          two large credits relating to the fishing industry. After quarter
          end, one of these loans with a balance of approximately $790,000
          was resolved with stronger guarantees and was taken off the non-
          accrual list. The amounts represented below are the total dollars
          outstanding for the first six months of each year listed.<PAGE>

              In reviewing non-interest income, the Bank experienced an

          increases as compared to their respective previous years. 1994
          increased by $67,000 whereas 1994 experienced a $105,000 increase
          over 1992. Throughout 1992 and 1994, the Bank witnessed
          significant growth from its commitment to its customers and
          communities through its continued efforts in the residential real
          estate market. The selling of mortgages in the secondary market
          has generated fees on sold mortgages as well as servicing fees on
          these loans. During the first six months of 1994 the Bank earned
          almost $193,000 from fees generated by the secondary mortgage
          program. This compares to $125,500 and $56,500 for 1994 and 1995
          respectively. The decline in income generated from the sale of
          residential mortgages through the secondary market are directly
          related to the interest rate cycle and as rates have risen, sales
          and refinances of homes have dropped. The fees generated in the
          granting of residential mortgages during the falling rate
          interest cycle of the early 1990s is now translated into earnings
          through the servicing of those loans which total over $57,000,000
          in outstanding balances and totals $132,500 in income thus far in
          1995.

              Salary and employee benefits for 1995 are actually one
          percent below 1994's expenses and compare favorably with 1994
          which shows a $200,000 (or 9%) increase over 1993. The increase
          in 1994 represents increases in compensation of 5% and costs
          incurred with the addition of a deferred plan for certain senior
          officers in light of the termination of the defined pension plan.
          This increase is comparable to the $160,000 or 7.7% increase
          experienced in 1994 as compared to 1992. 1993 was the year of
          adoption of FASB 106 pertaining to postretirement benefits and
          the expense incurred pertained to future benefits for employees.

              With regards to other expense, 1995 marks the third year in
          a row in which increases in other expenses have been maintained
          at a minimum with increased expenses in 1995 over 1994 of $91,500
          or 3.9%, 1994 over 9193 of $63,000 or 1.8% and $76,000 or 3.5%
          increase in 1993 over 1992, In 1992, the Bank upgraded its
          computer system and began selling off its used Wang equipment
          which ultimately led to an expected loss in excess of $100,000.
          The Bank s year-to-date efficiency ratio is 53% which is well
          under the national average.

              The Bank s capital to asset ratio is 9.7% and the Bank for
          exceeds the required risk based capital ratio of 8% with its Tier
<PAGE>
          I ratio of 14.7% and total capital ratio of 15.9% or capital in
          excess of requirements of $16,486,000.
