Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 128, Earnings Per Share, was
issued in February 1997 and will be effective for interim and annual periods
ending after December 15, 1997.  Statement 128 replaces the presentation of
primary earnings per share ("EPS") with a presentation of basic EPS.  Basic EPS
excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common
stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for
the period.  Basic EPS will typically be higher than primary EPS.  Statement
No. 128 also requires presentation of diluted EPS which is computed similarly
to fully diluted EPS under existing accounting rules.

NOTE D -- STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

Under federal law and regulations, the Corporation is required to meet certain
capital requirements.  The Banks and Lincoln Community are required to meet
leverage and risk-based capital requirements.  The leverage ratio, in general,
is stockholders' equity as a percentage of total assets.  The risk-based
capital ratio, in general, is stockholders' equity plus general loan loss
allowances (within certain limitations) as a percentage of risk adjusted
assets.

As of March 31, 1997, the most recent notification from Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation categorized the Banks as well capitalized under the
regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well
capitalized, the Banks must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier I
risk-based, Tier I leverage ratios as set forth in the table. There are no
conditions or events since that notification that management believes have
changed the institutions' category.

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

Financial Condition

At March 31, 1997, the Corporation's consolidated total assets were $273.1
million as compared to $267.7 million at December 31, 1996.  This increase was
due to a $7.6 million gain in total deposits, from $232.9 million at December
31, 1996 to $240.5 million at March 31, 1997.

Investment securities available-for-sale decreased $534,000, or 3.4%, from
$15.5 million at December 31, 1996 to $15.0 million at March 31, 1997.
Maturing investment securities in this category caused the reduction.

Mortgage-related securities available-for-sale decreased $8.3 million, or 30.4%
from $27.2 million at December 31, 1996, to $18.9 million at March 31, 1997.
The proceeds from sales, maturities and repayments are being used to fund new
loans rather than purchase additional mortgage-related securities.

Loans receivable increased $4.9 million, or 2.6%, from $189.8 million at
December 31, 1996 compared to $194.7 million at March 31, 1997.  This increase
was primarily due to new commercial loan relationships.  This movement
corresponds to the Corporation's strategic plan of emphasizing commercial
business.  These assets tend to be rate-sensitive and will add interest income
in a rising interest rate environment.  Currently, loans receivable consists
mainly of mortgages secured by residential properties located in the
Corporation's primary market area and commercial loans secured by business
assets, real estate, and guarantees.  At March 31, 1997 the Corporation has not
designated any loans held for sale.  Past loan sales have been loan
participations sold to correspondent banks when the borrowers reached their
lending limit at the Corporation's subsidiary Banks.

Stockholders' equity at March 31, 1997 was $26.3 million compared to $26.4
million at December 31, 1996, a decrease of $38,000.  The change in
stockholders' equity consists of net income of $305,000, less payments of
dividends to shareholders of $172,000, less the net purchase of treasury stock
of $69,000 and the $102,000 decrease in the market value of securities
categorized as available for sale.  The Banks continue to exceed their
regulatory capital requirements.

Nonperforming Assets and Allowance for Losses

Generally a loan is classified as nonaccrual and the accrual of interest on
such loan is discontinued when the contractual payment of principal or interest
has become 90 days past due or management has serious doubts about further
collectibility of principal or interest, even though the loan currently is
performing.  Generally, loans are restored to accrual status when the
obligation is brought current, has performed in accordance with the contractual
terms for a reasonable period of time and the ultimate collectibility of the
total contractual principal and interest is no longer in doubt.

Nonperforming assets decreased by $181,000 from $938,000 at December 31, 1996
to $757,000 at March 31, 1997, a decrease of 19.3%.  Payments collected on
nonperforming loans caused the decrease.  Management believes that losses will
be minimal on the remaining balances, due to the collateral position in each
situation.

Results of Operations

Net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 1997 was $2.78
million, an increase of 4.8% from the $2.65 million reported for the same
period in 1996.  Even though the weighted average rate paid on deposits and
borrowings increased from 3.54% at March 31, 1996 to 3.65% at March 31, 1997,
the volume of new loans receivable was able to offset the increase in the
average cost of funds.

The provision for loan losses for the three month period ended March 31, 1997
was $48,000 compared to $36,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1996, a
increase of $12,000, or 33.3%.  The higher provision is primarily due to
increases in the loan portfolio and not any anticipated loan losses.  In fact,
the Corporation's ratio of nonperforming loans to total loans is well below its
peer group average.  The Corporation uses a risk-based assessment of its loan
portfolio to determine the level of the loan loss allowance.  This procedure is
based on internal reviews intended to determine the adequacy of the loan loss
allowance in view of presently known factors.  However, changes in economic
conditions in the future financial conditions of borrowers cannot be predicted
and may result in increased future provisions to the loan loss allowance.

Service charges and other income for the three months ended March 31, 1997 was
$353,000 compared to $370,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1996, a
decrease of $17,000, or 4.6%.  The decrease is due to a reduction in the
service charges collected on loans.  Service charges collected from loans were
$15,000 for the three months end March 31, 1997 compared to $64,000 for the
same in 1996.  The difference can be attributed to higher than normal loan fees
collected in 1996.

Non-interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 1997 was $2.63
million compared to $2.59 million for the three months ended March 31, 1996, an
increase of $33,000, or 1.3%.  Salaries and employee benefits increased
$197,000 or 13.8% from $1.42 million for the three-month period ended March 31,
1996 compared to $1.62 million for the three-month period 1997.  Employee bonus
payments, higher benefit costs and changes in personnel accounted for the
change.  The increase in salaries and employee benefits was offset by
reductions in premises and equipment expense, FDIC insurance premiums and other
operating expenses.  Premises and equipment expense decreased $33,000 or 9.0%
from $365,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 1996 compared to
$332,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 1997.  Start-up costs
associated with the opening of two Lincoln State Bank branches caused the
higher expenses in 1996.  The decrease in FDIC insurance premiums can be
attributed to the reduction in fees being charged to Lincoln Community Bank.
The recapitalization of the Savings Association Insurance Fund in 1996 reduced
the fees charged to Lincoln Community Bank.  Other expenses decreased $109,000
in the first quarter.  This can be attributed to the control of operating
expenses such as office supplies, legal fees, accounting fees and check losses.

Income before taxes for the three month period ended March 31, 1997 was
$501,000 compared to $390,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1996, an
increase of $111,000 or 28.5%.  On an after tax basis, the Corporation reported
net income of $305,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 1997 compared
to $257,000 for the same period in 1996.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

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.  The Corporation had liquid assets of $31.5 million and $22.3 million at
March 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996, respectively.

Management believes liquidity and capital levels are adequate at March 31,
1997.  For a discussion of regulatory requirements, see Note D to the Unaudited
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Asset/Liability Management

Financial institutions are subject to interest rate risk to the extent their
interest-bearing liabilities (primarily deposits) mature or reprice at
different times and on a different basis than their interest-earning assets
(consisting primarily of loans and securities).  Interest rate sensitivity
management seeks to match maturities on assets and liabilities and avoid
fluctuating net interest margins while enhancing net interest income during
periods of changing interest rates.  The difference between the amount of
interest-earning assets maturing or repricing within a specific time period and
the amount of interest-bearing liabilities maturing or repricing within the
same time period is referred to as an interest rate gap.  A gap is considered
positive when the amount of interest rate sensitive assets exceeds the amount
of interest rate sensitive liabilities.  A gap is considered negative when the
amount of interest rate sensitive liabilities exceeds the amount of interest
rate sensitive assets.  During periods of rising interest rates, a negative gap
tends to adversely affect net interest income while a positive gap tends to
result in an increase in net interest income.  During a period of falling
interest rates, a negative gap tends to result in an increase in net interest
income while a positive gap tends to adversely affect net interest income.

Assumptions regarding prepayment and withdrawal rates are based upon the
Corporation's historical experience, and management believes such assumptions
are reasonable.

</TABLE>

At March 31, 1997, the Corporation's ratio of cumulative interest rate
sensitivity gap as a percentage of total assets was 7.23% for six months and
8.77% for one year maturities.  Therefore, the Corporation is positively gapped
and may benefit from rising interest rates.

Certain shortcomings are inherent in the method of analysis presented in the
above table.  For example, although certain assets and liabilities may have
similar maturities or periods of repricing, they may react in different degrees
to changes in market interest rates.  Also, the interest rates on certain types
of assets and liabilities may fluctuate in advance of changes in market
interest rates, while interest rates on other types may lag behind changes in
market rates.  Additionally, certain assets, such as adjustable rate mortgage
loans, have features that restrict changes in interest rates, on a short term
basis over the life of the asset.  Further, in the event of a change in
interest rates, prepayment and early withdrawal levels would likely deviate
significantly from those assumed in calculating the schedule.  Finally, the
ability of many borrowers to service their debt may decrease in the event of an
interest rate increase.
