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

EARNINGS SUMMARY

     Net income for the three months ended March 31, 1997 was $913,000, an 
increase of 22.6% over 1996's net income of $745,000.

NET INTEREST INCOME

     Net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 1997 was 
$2,455,000, a 11.7% increase over 1996's net interest income of $2,198,000.  
Total interest income of $4,613,000 is a 9.2% increase over 1996's total 
interest income of $4,225,000.  Total interest expense of $2,158,000 is a 6.5% 
increase over 1996's total interest expense of $2,027,000.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

     No provision to the allowance for loan losses was made during the first 
three months of 1997.  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 
$174,000 at March 31, 1997.  The portion of the allowance for loan losses 
allocated to impaired loans at March 31, 1997 was $34,000.

NON-INTEREST INCOME

     Non-interest income of $316,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997 
was an increase of 5.3% from 1996's non-interest income of $300,000.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSE

     Non-interest expense of $1,440,000 for the three months ended March 31, 
1997 is an increase of 2.9% from 1996's non-interest expense of $1,400,000.

INCOME TAXES

     Income taxes on operating earnings increased to $418,000 for the first 
three months of 1997 from $353,000 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, 1997 increased by 2.5% or $3,824,000 from March 
31, 1996.  Demand deposits decreased by 1.5% or $195,000, NOW deposits 
decreased by 3.8% or $972,000, savings deposits increased by 0.8% or $271,000, 
money market deposits decreased by 12.1% or $698,000 and certificates of 
deposit increased by 7.5% or $5,418,000.  

     Deposits were supplemented by borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank 
and repurchase agreements.  Total borrowed funds increased by 47.0% or 
$21,002,000 from the same period a year ago.

STOCKHOLDERS' INVESTMENT AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     Stockholders' investment as of March 31, 1997 was $23,254,000 compared to 
$20,098,000 for the same period in 1996.  The reason for this increase was the 
strong earnings performance in the year 1996 and the first three months of 
1997.

     During 1996, the Company increased its dividend once cent each quarter to 
end the year at a dividend rate of 20 cents per share.  In addition, a special 
cash dividend of 20 cents per share was declared in the fourth quarter of 1996. 
In the first quarter of 1997, dividends were increased one cent again to 21 
cents per share.

     Leverage capital ratios for the Company were 9.51% and 9.28%, 
respectively, at March 31, 1997 and March 31, 1996.  The Bank had a tier one 
risk-based capital ratio of 15.21% and tier two risk-based capital ratio of 
16.46% at March 31, 1997, compared to 13.94% and 15.19%, respectively, at March 
31, 1996.  These were comfortably above the standards to be rated "well-
capitalized" by the regulatory authorities.

LIQUIDITY MANAGEMENT

     As of March 31, 1997 the Bank had primary sources of liquidity of 
$40,278,000, or 16.5% 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 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 March 31, 1997 and 1996, loans on a non-accrual status totaled $439,000 
and $526,000, respectively.  In addition to loans on a non-accrual status at 
March 31, 1997 and 1996, loans past due greater than 90 days totaled $221,000 
and $111,000 respectively.  The Company continues to accrue interest on these 
loans because it believes collection of the interest is reasonably assured.

INVESTMENTS

As of March 31, 1997 stockholders' equity was increased by $10,000 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

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 loans are 
reviewed periodically, usually around a delinquency.

<PAGE>
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.

ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

SFAS No. 122, "Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights" was adopted in 1996.  
SFAS requires the recognition of rights to service mortgage loans for others as 
separate assets, regardless of whether the rights were originated or purchased, 
and subsequent, periodic evaluations of the capitalized rights for impairment.  
The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the financial 
statements.

The Company adopted SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock Based Compensation," 
and has elected the intrinsic value method.  The financial statements are not 
affected.

SFAS No. 125, as amended by SFAS No. 127, relates to the the accounting for 
transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of certain 
liabilities and is effective for years beginning January 1, 1997.  The adoption 
of this statement did not have an effect on the financial statements.

SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share", and SFAS No. 129, Disclosure of Information 
about Capital Structure", were issued in February 1997 and are effective for 
interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 1997.  The effect of 
adopting these statements has not been determined.
