Item 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF FINANCIAL CONDITION & 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

EARNINGS SUMMARY

     Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 was $2,483,000, an 
increase of 25.2% over 1995's net income of $1,983,000.  Net income for the 
quarter ended September 30, 1996 was $893,000.  This is a 23.9% increase over 
the same period a year ago.

NET INTEREST INCOME

     Net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 was 
$6,898,000, a 6.5% increase over 1995's net interest income of $6,480,000.  
Total interest income of $13,007,000 is a 6.5% increase over 1995's total 
interest income of $12,216,000.  Total interest expense of $6,109,000 is a 6.5% 
increase over 1995's total interest expense of $5,736,000.

     Net interest income for the quarter ended September 30, 1996 was 
$2,398,000.  This is a 9.6% increase over 1995's net interest income of 
$2,188,000.  Total interest income was $4,459,000, a 5.6% increase over 1995's 
total interest income of $4,224,000.  Total interest expense of $2,061,000 is a 
1.2% increase over 1995's total interest expense of $2,036,000.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

     No provision to the allowance for loan losses was made during the first 
nine months of 1996.  The allowance for loan losses is deemed adequate as 
calculated in accordance with Banking Circular #201 and with respect to SFAS 
114/118.  Loans considered to be impaired according to SFAS 114/118 totalled 
$162,000 at September 30, 1996.  The portion of the allowance for loan losses 
allocated to impaired loans at September 30, 1996 was $12,000.

NON-INTEREST INCOME

     Non-interest income of $1,016,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 
1996 was an increase of 44.3% from 1995's non-interest income of $704,000.  
This increase can be attributed to an increase in fiduciary income and fees 
charged for processing merchant credit card deposits.

     Non-interest income for the quarter ended September 30, 1996 was $400,000, 
a 32.9% increase over 1995's non-interest income of $301,000.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSE

     Non-interest expense of $4,251,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 
1996 is a decrease of 0.7% from 1995's non-interest expense of $4,282,000.  
Non-interest expense for the quarter ended September 30, 1996  was $1,480,000, 
a 3.4% increase over the same period a year ago.

INCOME TAXES

     Income taxes on operating earnings increased to $1,180,000 for the first 
nine months of 1996 from $919,000 for the same period a year ago.  Income taxes 
on operating earnings were $425,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 1996, 
compared to $336,000 in 1995.  The level of income taxes has increased as a 
result of the Company's increased earnings.

DEPOSITS AND BORROWED FUNDS

     Deposits as of September 30, 1996 increased by 2.6% or $3,910,000 from 
September 30, 1995.  Demand deposits increased by 8.2% or $1,067,000, NOW 
deposits increased by 1.9% or $518,000, savings deposits increased by 5.1% or 
$1,722,000, money market deposits decreased by 6.0% or $430,000 and 
certificates of deposit increased by 1.5% or $1,033,000.  

     Deposits were supplemented by borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank 
and repurchase agreements.  Total borrowed funds increased by 39.2% or 
$13,965,000 from the same period a year ago. 

STOCKHOLDERS' INVESTMENT AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     Stockholders' investment as of September 30, 1996 was $21,620,000 compared 
to $18,797,000 for the same period in 1995.  The reason for this increase was 
the strong earnings performance in the year 1995 and the first nine months of 
1996.

     During 1995, the Company declared cash dividends of 14 cents per share for 
the first quarter and 15 cents per share for the second and third quarters.  
Dividends were increased by one cent in the fourth quarter of 1995 to 16 cents 
per share.  In addition, the Company declared a one-time special cash dividend 
of 10 cents per share in the fourth quarter of 1995.  Dividends were increased 
one cent per quarter in the first, second and third quarters of 1996 to the 
current level of 19 cents per share.

     Leverage capital ratios for the Company were 9.50% and 9.08%, 
respectively, at September 30, 1996 and September 30, 1995.  The Bank had a 
tier one risk-based capital ratio of 14.46% and tier two risk-based capital 
ratio of 15.71% at September 30, 1996, compared to 13.33% and 14.58%, 
respectively, at September 30, 1995.  These were comfortably above the 
standards to be rated "well-capitalized" by the regulatory authorities.

LIQUIDITY MANAGEMENT

     As of September 30, 1996 the Bank had primary sources of liquidity of 
$33,099,000, or 14.6% of its assets.  It is Management's opinion that this is 
adequate.  In its Asset/Liability policy, the Bank has adopted guidelines for 
liquidity.

     We are not aware of any current recommendations by the regulatory 
authorities which, if they were to be implemented, would have a material effect 
on the Corporation's liquidity, capital resources or results of operations.

LOAN POLICIES

     Real estate values:

A.  Residential properties  We loan up to 80% of the appraised value of 
properties without mortgage insurance and up to 95% of the appraised value of 
properties with mortgage insurance.  No further appraisals are done as long as 
the payment history remains satisfactory.  If a loan becomes delinquent, a 
review might be done of the loan.




Page 11
<PAGE>
When a loan becomes 90 or more days past due, an in-depth review is made of 
the loan and a determination made as to whether or not a reappraisal is 
required.

B.  Land only properties  We do not have many of these but we do loan up to 65% 
of the appraised value of the property.  They are handled the same way as above 
from booking date on.

C.  Commercial properties  We loan up to 75% of the appraised value and, once 
the loan is closed, the decision to re-appraise a property is subjective and 
depends on a variety of factors, such as:  the payment status of the loan, the 
risk rating of the loan, the amount of time that has passed since the last 
appraisal, changes in the real estate market, availability of financing, 
inventory of competing properties, and changes in condition of the property 
i.e. zoning changes, environmental contamination, etc.

Note:  A certified or licensed appraiser is used for all appraisals.

     At September 30, 1996 and 1995, loans on a non-accrual status totaled 
$430,000 and $1,231,000, respectively.  In addition to loans on a non-accrual 
status at September 30, 1996 and 1995, loans past due greater than 90 days 
totaled $161,000 and $117,000 respectively.  The Company continues to accrue 
interest on these loans because it believes collection of the interest is 
reasonably assured.

INVESTMENTS

     In the first quarter of 1994, the Company adopted SFAS 115, "Accounting 
for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities".  SFAS 115 requires that 
all debt securities be classified into one of three categories:  trading 
securities, securities available for sale and securities held to maturity.  As 
of September 30, 1996 stockholders' equity was reduced by $8,000 due to a net 
unrealized loss in the available-for-sale portfolio.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

     No material off-balance sheet risk exists that requires a separate 
liability presentation.

SALE OF LOANS

     In the first quarter of 1996, the Company adopted SFAS 122, "Accounting 
for Mortgage Servicing Rights".  This statement requires mortgage servicing 
rights, whether purchased or originated, to be capitalized and subsequently 
considerd for impairment.  As of September 30, 1996, the Bank had not acquired 
any servicing rights through loan origination or purchase transactions.

No recourse obligations have been incurred in connection with the sale of 
loans.

RISK ELEMENTS

     Any loans classified for regulatory purposes as loss, doubtful, 
substandard, or special mention that have not been disclosed under Item III of 
Industry Guide 3 do not represent or result from trends or uncertainties which 



Page 12
<PAGE>
Management reasonably expects will materially impact future operating results, 
liquidity or capital resources.

     There are no known potential problem loans which are not now disclosed 
pursuant to Item III. C. 1. of Industry Guide 3.  Item III. C. 2. is not 
applicable.

REGULATORY MATTERS

     Procedures for monitoring Bank Loan Administration:

A. Loan reviews are done on a regular basis.

B. An action plan is prepared quarterly on all criticized commercial loans 
greater than $100,000.

C. Delinquent loans are reviewed weekly by the Bank's Collections Officer and 
Senior Loan Officer.

D. A tickler system is utilized to insure timely receipt of current information 
(such as financial statements, appraisals and/or credit memos to the credit 
file).

Note:  Most of the above applies only to commercial loans, but retail loans are 
reviewed periodically, usually around a delinquency.

Procedures for monitoring Bank Other Real Estate Owned:

The O.R.E.O. portfolio is handled by the Collections Officer, with backup
by the Senior Loan Officer.  Most properties are listed with real estate 
brokers for sale.  All properties are appraised periodically for market value, 
and provision is made to the allowance for O.R.E.O. losses if the estimated 
market value after selling costs is lower than the carrying value of the 
property.


OTHER

TERMINATION OF PENSION PLAN

     As of May 31, 1996, the Company ceased benefit accruals for its pension 
plan, which covers substantially all employees. All required documents 
requesting approval for termination of the defined benefit plan were filed with 
the Internal Revenue Service and the Pension Benefit Guarantee Corporation on 
June 18, 1996. The Company has received final approvals for termination of the 
plan and will distribute the assets to fulfill the Company's liabilities under 
the plan in the fourth quarter of 1996. The Company expects to realize a gain 
on termination of approximately $63,000.

     The Company is modifying its defined contribution (401k) plan as a 
replacement for the pension plan, and has added an annual compensation-based 
contribution to the plan, in addition to the current employer-matching 
contribution. This modification is not expected to have a material impact on 
the Company's financial statements.
