Item 2   Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
         Results of Operations
 
Overview

    Year to Date Operations

    The Company's six month income of $949,000 represents a 6.03% increase
in total earnings and earnings per share compared to 1994 operations. 
Earnings represented an annualized return on equity of 10.88% for the first
six months of 1995 compared to 11.11% for the same period in 1994.  The
annualized return on average assets was 1.20% in the first six months of
1995 compared with 1.16% in the first six months of 1994.

    The tax equivalent net interest income declined by $3,000 in 1995 to
$3,304,000.  Increases in the level of net earning assets were offset by a
decline in the tax equivalent net interest margin as the net interest
margin fell slightly from 4.50% in 1994 to 4.42% in 1995.  The decline was
a result of increasing market rates in 1994 and early 1995 which caused
rates paid on deposits to increase at a quicker pace than returns on
earning assets.

    Although the net interest margin was virtually unchanged in the first
six months compared to 1994, declines in the provision for loan losses and
increases in other noninterest income more than offset minor increases in
other noninterest expenses.  The result was an overall increase in net
income of 6.03% for the period.

    Quarter Ending June 30 Operations

    Net income for the quarter ending June 30, 1995 increased 2.22% when
compared to the prior year operations.  Although the net interest margin
declined slightly in 1995, declines in the provision for loan losses more
than offset these declines to result in a modest profitability gain for the
period.

Net Interest Income

    Year to Date Operations

    The Company's net interest income on a tax equivalent basis was 4.42%
($3,304,000) in the first six months of 1995 compared to 4.50% ($3,307,000)
in the first six months of 1994.  The modest decline was due primarily to
increasing costs of deposits, particularly long-term certificates.  Real
estate loan yields continued to fall while commercial and consumer loan
yields rose slightly when compared to the prior year.  Time deposit and
savings account rates increased due to changes in overall market rates in
the Company's service area.  Competition for deposits was quite intense on
the local level in the first quarter of 1995 resulting in many programs
favorable to depositors.  Deposit contracts entered into in 1993 and early
1994 at historically low rates have now matured and must be renewed at
rates in line with historical averages.  The interaction of these changes
resulted in little movement in the net interest margin during the first
quarter of 1995.

    Loans outstanding at June 30, 1995 increased 8.29% from the amounts as
of June 30, 1994.  The loan demand is expected to continue to be good
through the remainder of 1995 as the local economy shows no signs of
weakness.  The increase in volume of interest earning assets and increases
on investment yields have virtually offset higher rates paid on deposits. 
The result has been the Company has been able to maintain a satisfactory
level of interest income within 1995.  Management believes its liquidity
and asset/liability management policies are adequate to maintain an
acceptable net interest margin into the foreseeable future.  Recent actions
by the Federal Reserve Bank give the impression that future rate changes
will be minimal and thus rate stability or modest declines can be expected
in the near future.  This should allow the net interest margin in future
periods to remain stable or increase slightly as rates paid on deposits
remain at current levels and investments and loans mature and are
reinvested at higher yields.

Item 2   Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
         Results of Operations (Continued)

    Quarter Ending June 30 Operations

    The Company's net interest income on a tax equivalent basis was 4.29%
($1,625,000) for the quarter ending June 30, 1995 compared to 4.47%
($1,651,000) for the same period in 1994.  Increased income from loans was
the result of increases in both volume and yields as market rates rose
throughout 1994 and early 1995.  Increases in investment yields also
contributed heavily to an overall increase in the yield on earning assets. 
Offsetting this increase in interest income was an increase in rates paid
on interest bearing deposits from 4.08% in 1994 to 4.94% in 1995.  The
increase was the result of higher market rates on contracts made in 1994
and aggressive competition in the local marketplace for longer term
certificates of deposit.  As stated earlier, the Company expects future
investment and loan yields to catch up with increases in the cost of
deposits later in 1995 and early 1996.

    A complete yield analysis is shown as Table I on page 15.

Noninterest Income

    Year to Date Operations

    Noninterest income increased 12.20% during the first six months of 1995
compared to the same period in 1994.  The increase was due to higher income
from insurance operations, greater income from loan servicing activities
and increased service charges.  Gains and losses on security transactions
were negligible in both periods.

    Quarter Ending June 30 Operations

    Noninterest income for the quarters was unchanged at $139,000.  Minor
increases in service charge income were offset by minor declines in
insurance income.  Again, gains and losses on investment security activity
was negligible.

Noninterest Expenses

    Year to Date Operations

    Overall, noninterest expenses rose 2.80% for the first six months of
1995 when compared to the same period of 1994.  Personnel expenses
increased 7.55% due to merit and inflationary raises and a larger number of
full time equivalent employees.  In the second quarter, the Company
determined it had been overbilled in previous years for certain equipment
maintenance contracts and the refunds of this overbilling reduced equipment
expense by $28,000.  Equipment, occupancy, data processing and FDIC
insurance costs increased only .79% during the period due to the refund
noted above, relative stability in the level of services required and
minimal increases in the cost of FDIC insurance.  Other noninterest
expenses declined 4.94% due to lower fees for examinations and lower other
operating expenses.  The overall increase in noninterest expenses was in
line with management's expectations and budget.
                                               
    Within the second quarter of 1995, the FDIC insurance fund met its
mandated reserve requirements established by Congress.  The attainment of
this goal will allow the FDIC to reduce the rates charged on insured
deposits by 75% to 83%.  This rate reduction should save the Company
approximately $250,000 per year and should be effective by July 1, 1995 at
the latest.  This savings will more than offset costs associated with the
expanded operating facilities and should contribute to noninterest expense
stability in future periods.

Item 2   Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
         Results of Operations (Continued)

Noninterest Expenses (Continued)

    Quarter Ending June 30 Operations

    Overall, noninterest expenses rose only .49% for the quarter ending
June 30, 1995 compared to 1994.  Increases in personnel and occupancy
expense were offset by declines in the equipment expenses (discussed above)
and miscellaneous other operating expenses.  Exclusive of the refund cited
above, noninterest expenses rose by 3.26% for 1995 compared to 1994. 
Noninterest expenses have been consistent throughout the four most recent
quarters and should remain so based on the anticipated decline in FDIC
insurance expense.

Loan Portfolio

    The Company is an active residential mortgage and construction lender
and generally extends commercial loans to small and medium sized businesses
within its primary service area.  The Company's commercial lending activity
extends across its primary service areas of Grant, Hardy and northern
Pendleton counties.  Consistent with its focus on providing community-based
financial services, the Company does not attempt to diversify its loan
portfolio geographically by making significant amounts of loans to
borrowers outside of its primary service area.

    The principal economic risk associated with each of the categories of
loans in the Company's portfolio is the creditworthiness of its borrowers. 
Within each category, such risk is increased or decreased depending on
prevailing economic conditions.  The risk associated with the real estate
mortgage loans and installment loans to individuals varies based upon
employment levels, consumer confidence, fluctuations in value of
residential real estate and other conditions that affect the ability of
consumers to repay indebtedness.  The risk associated with commercial,
financial and agricultural loans varies based upon the strength and
activity of the local economies of the Company's market areas.  The risk
associated with real estate construction loans varies based upon the supply
of and demand for the type of real estate under construction.

    Loans outstanding increased $4,733,000 or 4.55% in the first six months
in 1995.  The bulk of this increase was in new real estate mortgages and
consumer loans.  The loan to deposit ratio was 77.36% at June 30, 1995
compared to 76.75% at December 31, 1994.  Management believes this level of
lending activity will result in the greatest amount of earnings without
undue credit risk.  Loan demand is expected to remain satisfactory in the
near future.

Asset Quality

    Nonperforming loans include nonaccrual loans, loans 90 days or more
past due and restructured loans.  Nonaccrual loans are loans on which
interest accruals have been suspended or discontinued permanently. 
Restructured loans are loans on which the original interest rate or
repayment terms have been changed due to financial hardship of the
borrower.  The loans on nonaccrual status consist of real estate mortgages
and commercial loans.  The total of nonaccrual loans as of June 30, 1995
was $203,000 compared to $166,000 at December 31, 1994.  Real estate
acquired through foreclosure was $193,000 at June 30, 1995 compared to
$296,000 at December 31, 1994.  All foreclosed property held at June 30,
1995 was in the Company's primary service area.  The Company's practice is
to value real estate acquired through foreclosure at the lower of (i) an
independent current appraisal or market analysis less anticipated costs of
disposal, or (ii) the existing loan balance.  The Company is actively
marketing all foreclosed real estate and does not anticipate material
write-downs in value before disposition.

Allowance for Loan Losses

    Management evaluates the loan portfolio in light of national and local
economic changes, changes in the nature and value of the portfolio and
industry standards.  The Company's loan classification system, which rates
existing loans, provides the basis for adjusting the allowance for loan
losses.  Management reviews these classification totals, along with
internally generated loan review reports, past due reports, historical loan
loss experience and individual borrower's financial health to determine the
necessary amount to be provided in the allowance for loan losses. 
Management evaluates nonperforming loans relative to their collateral value
and makes the appropriate adjustments to the allowance when needed. 
Management believes, based on its review, that the Company has an adequate
allowance to absorb any losses in the loan portfolio.

    The net amount of charge-offs for the first six months ended June 30,
1995 was $69,000 compared to net chargeoffs of $68,000 for the first six
months of 1994.  The allowance for loan losses was $1,445,000 at June 30,
1995 compared to $1,454,000 at December 31, 1994.  The allowance as a
percent of loans outstanding was 1.33% at June 30, 1995 compared to 1.40%
at December 31, 1994.  The provision for loan losses for the first six
months of 1995 was $60,000 compared to $120,000 for the comparable period
in 1994.  The lower provision was possible due to continued improvement in
the quality of the loan portfolio as evidenced by declines in the volume of
delinquent loans.

Securities

    The Company's securities portfolio serves numerous purposes.  Portions
of the portfolio may secure certain public and trust deposits.  The
remaining portions are held as investments or used to assist the Company in
liquidity and asset/liability management.  Total securities at June 30,
1995 were $36,189,000 compared to $38,002,000 at December 31, 1994. 
Securities as percent of total assets were 22.65% at June 30, 1995 compared
to 24.78% at March 31, 1994.  The decrease in securities is a result of
good loan demand which has absorbed funds previously invested in
securities, an increase in federal funds sold and the funding of recent
expansions in bank premises.

    The securities portfolio consists of two components, securities held to
maturity and securities available for sale.  Securities are classified as
held to maturity when management has the intent and the Company has the
ability at the time of purchase to hold the securities to maturity.  Held
to maturity securities are carried at cost, adjusted for amortization of
premiums and accretion of discounts.  Securities to be held for indefinite
periods of time are classified as available for sale and accounted for at
market value.  Securities available for sale include securities that may be
sold in response to changes in market interest rates, changes in the
security's prepayment risk, increases in loan demand, general liquidity
needs and other similar factors.  The Company's recent purchases of all
securities have generally been limited to securities of high credit quality
with short to medium term maturities.
                                     
    With the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
115 (SFAS No. 115) on January 1, 1994, the Company now segregates those
securities available for sale from those held to maturity.  These
securities are valued at their market value with any difference in market
value and amortized cost shown as an adjustment in stockholders' equity. 
Changes within the year in market values are reflected as changes in
stockholders' equity, net of the deferred tax effect.  As of June 30, 1995,
the cost of the securities available for sale exceeded their market value
by $168,000 ($107,000 after tax considerations).

Item 2   Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
         Results of Operations (Continued)
                                                
Deposits

    The Company's main source of funds remains deposits received from
individuals, governmental entities and businesses located within the
Company's service area.  Deposit accounts include demand deposits, savings,
money market and certificates of deposit.

    Total deposits increased 3.72% between December 31, 1994 and June 30,
1995, primarily in the area of time deposit accounts.  The cost of funds
for the first six months of 1995 was 4.61% compared to 4.10% for the same
period in 1994.  The yields on demand deposits remained stable within the
period while yields on savings and time deposits increased sharply.  The
majority of the Company's deposits are time deposits which are attractive
to persons seeking high yields on their deposits but without the need for
liquidity.  The Company has not actively pursued deposits in excess of
$100,000 due to the volatile nature of these relationships although it did
see a substantial increase in large certificates as part of an overall
deposit promotion in early 1995.

Capital

    The Company seeks to maintain a strong capital base to expand
facilities, promote public confidence, support current operations and grow
at a manageable level.  As of June 30, 1995 the Company's total risk based
capital ratio was 20.29% which is far above the regulatory minimum of 8.0%. 
The ratio of total capital to total assets was 11.33% at June 30, 1995
which exceeds that of the Company's peers.  Earnings have been satisfactory
to allow an increase in dividends in 1995 over those levels experienced in
1994.

Liquidity

    Liquidity is the ability to meet present and future financial
obligations through either the sale or maturity of existing assets or the
acquisition of additional funds through liability management.  Liquid
assets include cash, interest bearing deposits with banks, federal funds
sold, investments and loans maturing within one year.  The Company's
ability to obtain deposits and purchase funds at favorable rates determines
its liability liquidity.  As a result of the Company's management of liquid
assets and the ability to generate liquidity through liability funding,
management believes that the Company maintains overall liquidity sufficient
to satisfy its depositors' requirements and meet its customers' credit
needs.

    Additional sources of liquidity available to the Company include, but
are not limited to, loan repayments, the ability to obtain deposits through
the adjustment of interest rates and the purchasing of federal funds.  To
further meet its liquidity needs, the Company also maintains lines of
credit with correspondent financial institutions and the Federal Reserve
Bank of Richmond.  Both subsidiary banks have lines of credit with the
Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh although neither has utilized such
lines in 1995.  In the past, growth in deposits and proceeds from the
maturity of investment securities have been sufficient to fund the net
increase in loans.

Item 2   Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
         Results of Operations (Continued)
                  
Interest Rate Sensitivity

    In conjunction with maintaining a satisfactory level of liquidity,
management must also control the degree of interest rate risk assumed on
the balance sheet.  Managing this risk involves regular monitoring of the
interest sensitive assets relative to interest sensitive liabilities over
specific time intervals.

    At June 30, 1995 the Company had a negative gap position.  This
liability sensitive position typically produces an unfavorable contribution
to earnings during a period of increasing rates.  Because the financial
markets were in an increasing rate environment for most of 1994 and the
Company had a negative gap position, the Company saw a decline in its net
interest margin on a tax equivalent basis in the second quarter of 1995. 
With the rate declines the markets have witnessed in the last six months,
the Company does not foresee further declines in the net interest margin.

    With the largest amount of interest sensitive assets and liabilities
repricing within three years, the Company monitors these areas very
closely.  Early withdrawal of deposits, prepayments of loans and loan
delinquencies are some of the factors that could affect actual versus
expected cash flows.  In addition, changes in rates on interest sensitive
assets and liabilities may not be equal, which could result in a change in
net interest margin.  While the Company does not match each of its interest
sensitive assets against specific interest sensitive liabilities, it does
seek to enhance the net interest margin while minimizing exposure to
interest rate fluctuations.

Effects of Inflation

    Inflation significantly affects industries having high proportions of
property, plant and equipment or high levels of inventories.  Although the
Company is not significantly affected in these areas, inflation does have
an impact on the growth of assets.  As assets grow rapidly, it becomes
necessary to increase equity capital at proportionate levels to maintain
the appropriate equity to asset ratios.  Traditionally, the Company's
earnings and high capital retention levels have enabled the Company to meet
these needs.

    The Company's reported earnings results have been affected by
inflation, but isolating the effect is difficult.  The different types of
income and expense are affected in various ways.  Interest rates are
affected by inflation, but the timing and magnitude of the changes may not
coincide with changes in the consumer price index.  Management actively
monitors interest rate sensitivity, as illustrated by the Gap Analysis
(Table II, page 16) in order to minimize the effects of inflationary trends
on interest rates.  Other areas of noninterest expenses may be more
directly affected by inflation.
