increase over 1995's total interest expense of $1,737,000.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

     No provision to the allowance for loan losses was made during the first 
three 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 
$327,000 at March 31, 1996.  The portion of the allowance for loan losses 
allocated to impaired loans at March 31, 1996 was $66,000.

NON-INTEREST INCOME

     Non-interest income of $300,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1996 
was an increase of 88.7% from 1995's non-interest income of $159,000.  This 
increase can be attributed to a net securities loss of $58,000 during the first 
quarter of 1995 combined with an overall increase in non-interest income in the 
first quarter of 1996, especially in fiduciary income. 

NON-INTEREST EXPENSE

     Non-interest expense of $1,400,000 for the three months ended March 31, 
1996 is a decrease of 2.4% from 1995's non-interest expense of $1,434,000.  A 
significant reduction in FDIC insurance premiums was the principal cause for 
the decrease.

INCOME TAXES

     Income taxes on operating earnings increased to $353,000 for the first 
three months in 1995 from $290,000 for the same period a year ago.  The level 
of income taxes has increased as a result of the Company's increased earnings.

DEPOSITS AND BORROWED FUNDS

     Deposits as of March 31, 1996 increased by 7.1% or $9,934,000 from March 
31, 1995.  Demand deposits increased by 28.1% or $2,816,000, NOW deposits 
decreased by 1.6% or $427,000, savings deposits decreased by 2.3% or $786,000, 
money market deposits decreased by 25.0% or $1,923,000 and certificates of 
deposit increased by 16.6% or $10,254,000.  

     Deposits were supplemented by borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank 
and repurchase agreements.  Total borrowed funds increased by 4.7% or 
$2,016,000 from the same period a year ago. 

STOCKHOLDERS' INVESTMENT AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     Stockholders' investment as of March 31, 1996 was $20,098,000 compared to 
$17,560,000 for the same period in 1995.  The reason for this increase was the 
strong earnings performance in the year 1995 and the first three 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 again in the fourth quarter 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 in the first quarter of 1996 to the current level of 17 cents per 
share.

     Leverage capital ratios were 9.28% and 8.70%, respectively, at March 31, 
1996 and March 31, 1995.  The Bank had a tier one risk-based capital ratio of 
13.94% and tier two risk-based capital ratio of 15.19% at March 31, 1996, 
compared to 13.02% and 14.27%, respectively, at March 31, 1995.  These were 
comfortably above the standards to be rated "well-capitalized" by the 
regulatory authorities.

LIQUIDITY MANAGEMENT

     As of March 31, 1996 the Bank had primary sources of liquidity of 
$38,893,000, or 18.05% 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.

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 re-appraisal 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 March 31, 1996 and 1995, loans on a non-accrual status totaled $526,000 
and $1,463,000, respectively.  In addition to loans on a non-accrual status at 
March 31, 1996 and 1995, loans past due greater than 90 days totaled $111,000 
and $93,000 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 March 31, 1996 stockholders' equity was increased by $53,000 due to a net 
unrealized gain 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 March 31, 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 
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 
loansare 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

     The quarterly financial statements in the opinion of Management fairly 
represent all adjustments made to reflect the current financial condition of 
the Bank for this interim period just ended.  All such adjustments were of a 
normal recurring nature.
