The accompanying unaudited condensed 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

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.  Operating results for the six-month

may be expected for the year ended December 31, 1997.  For further information,

in the Corporation's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996.

This 10-Q contains various forward-looking statements concerning the Company's
prospects that are based on the current expectations and beliefs of Management.
Forward-looking statements may also be made by the Corporation from time to
time in other reports and documents as well as oral presentations.  When used
in written documents or oral statements, the words anticipate, believe,
estimate, expect, objective and similar expressions are intended to identify
forward-looking statements.  The statements contained herein and such future
statements involve or may involve certain assumptions, risks and uncertainties,
many of which are beyond the Corporation's control, that could cause the
Corporation's actual results and performance to differ materially from what is
expected.  In addition to the assumptions and other factors referenced
specifically in connection with such statements, the following factors could
impact the business and financial prospects of the Corporation: general
economic conditions; legislative and regulatory initiatives; monetary and
fiscal policies of the federal government; deposit flows; disintermidiation;
the cost of funds; general market rates of interest; interest rates or
investment returns on competing investments; demand for loan products; demand
for financial services; changes in accounting policies or guidelines; and
changes in the quality or composition of the Corporation's loan and investment
portfolio.

Primary earnings per share for the three months ended June 30, 1997, and 1996
and for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 have been determined by
dividing net income for the respective periods by the weighted average number
of shares of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding during the
period.

Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 128, Earnings Per Share, was
issued in February 1997 and is 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.

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 June 30, 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 June 30, 1997, the Corporation's consolidated total assets were $281.9
million as compared to $267.7 million at December 31, 1996.  This increase was
due to a $15.5 million gain in total deposits, from $232.9 million at December
31, 1996 to $248.4 million at June 30, 1997.

Investment securities available-for-sale increased $574,000, or 3.7%, from
$15.5 million at December 31, 1996 to $16.1 million at June 30, 1997.
Purchases of investment securities in this category caused the increase.

Mortgage-related securities available-for-sale decreased $4.5 million, or 16.7%
from $27.2 million at December 31, 1996, to $22.6 million at June 30, 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 $18.4 million, or 9.7%, from $189.8 million at
December 31, 1996 compared to $208.1 million at June 30, 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 June 30, 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 June 30, 1997 was $27.0 million compared to $26.4
million at December 31, 1996, an increase of $600,000.  The change in
stockholders' equity consists of net income of $929,000, less payments of
dividends to shareholders of $344,000, less the net purchase of treasury stock
of $62,000 and the $56,000 increase 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 increased by $398,000 from $938,000 at December 31, 1996
to $1.4 million at June 30, 1997, a increase of 42.4%.  Although the amount of
non-accrual loans increased, management believes that losses will be minimal on
the remaining balances, due to the collateral position in each situation.

Results of Operation

Net interest income, for the three months ended June 30, 1997 was $2.97
million, an increase of 10.5% from the $2.68 million reported for the same
period in 1996.  The substantial increase in loans receivable and the
stabilization of rates paid on deposit products were the major contributing
factors to the increase in net interest income.  Net interest income for the
six months ended June 30, 1997 was $5.74 million, an increase of 7.7% from the
$5.33 million reported for the same period in 1996.  The increase in loans and
the higher net interest margin were the primary reasons for the improvement in
the year-to-date net interest income as well.

The following table sets forth the weighted average yield earned on the
Corporation's consolidated loan and investment portfolios, the weighted average
interest paid on deposits and borrowings, the net spread between yield earned
and rates paid and the net interest margin during the six and three months
ended June 30, 1997 and 1996.

The provision for loan losses for the three month period ended June 30, 1997
was $48,000 compared to $36,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1996.  For
the six months ended June 30, 1997, the provision for loan losses was $96,000
compared to $72,000 for than the same period in 1996.  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.

Non-interest income for the three months ended June 30, 1997 was $390,000
compared to $366,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1996, an increase of
$24,000, or 6.6%.  Non-interest income for the six months ended June 30, 1997
was $786,000 compared to $734,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1996, an
increase of $52,000, or 7.1%.  The increase is due to fees collected on new
products and services and gains on sales of investment securities.

Non-interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 1997 was $2.32 million
compared to $2.18 million for the three months ended June 30, 1996, an increase
of $135,000, or 6.2%.  Non-interest expense for the six months ended June 30,
1997 was $4.94 million compared to $4.78 million for the six months ended June
30, 1996, an increase of $168,000, or 3.5%.  Salaries and employee benefits
increased $96,000 or 8.0% from $1.20 million for the three-month period ended
June 30, 1997 compared to $1.29 million for the 1997 three-month period.
Salaries and employee benefits increased $293,000 or 11.1% from $2.63 million
for the six-month period ended June 30, 1996 to $2.92 million for the six-month
period ended June 30, 1997.  Employee bonus payments, higher benefit costs and
changes in personnel accounted for the change.  Premises and equipment expense
increased $21,000 or 6.4% from $327,000 for the three month period ended June
30, 1996 compared to $348,000 for the three month period ended June 30, 1997.
Premises and equipment expense decreased $12,000 or 1.7% from $692,000 for the
six month period ended June 30, 1996 compared to $680,000 for the six month
period ended June 30, 1997.  Federal deposit insurance premiums decreased
$33,000 or 63.5% from $52,000 for the three month period ended June 30, 1996 to
$19,000 for the three month period ended June 30,

1997.  Insurance premiums decreased $69,000 or 65.1% from $106,000 for the six
month period ended June 30, 1996 to $37,000 for the six month period ended June
30, 1997.  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 increased $43,000 or
9.3% in the second quarter.  This can be attributed to increases in operating
expenses such as office supplies, legal fees, accounting fees and check losses.

Income before taxes for the three month period ended June 30, 1997 was $990,000
compared to $831,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1996, an increase of
$159,000 or 19.1%.  Income before taxes for the six month period ended June 30,
1997 was $1.49 million compared to $1.22 million for the six months ended June
30, 1996, an increase of $270,000 or 22.1%.  On an after tax basis, the
Corporation reported net income of $624,000 for the three month period ended
June 30, 1997 compared to $541,000 for the same period in 1996; and for the six
month period ended June 30, 1997, the Corporation reported net income of
$929,000 compared to $798,000 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 $20.4 million and $22.3 million at
June 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996, respectively.

Management believes liquidity and capital levels are adequate at June 30, 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 June 30, 1997, the Corporation's ratio of cumulative interest-rate sensitive
gap as a percentage of total assets was 2.44% for six months and 4.71% 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 schedule.  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.
