  Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation
- ---------------------

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts 
of First Philson Financial Corporation (the "Company") and 
its wholly-owned subsidiary  First Philson Bank, National
Association (the "Bank").  All significant intercompany 
balances and transactions have been eliminated in the
consolidation.

Laurel Highland Life Insurance Company ("Laurel") was a 
former subsidiary of the Company.  On March 1, 1995, Laurel
executed a life and disability Retrocession Agreement with 
USLIFE Credit Life Insurance Company ("USLIFE").  Under the
agreement, USLIFE and Laurel terminated their Reinsurance
Agreement dated April 3, 1986.  USLIFE assumed all business 
of Laurel as of March 1, 1995 including all past liabilities. 
Consideration was paid to USLIFE by Laurel for reassumption 
of the liability associated with the business.  As the result 
of the execution Laurel's monthly income and expense was
terminated.  The required adjustments were made on Laurel's
financial statements in the second quarter of 1995 to reflect 
the effects of the Retrocession Agreement.  On September 29,
1995, Laurel was dissolved according to the Articles of
Dissolution filed with the Arizona Corporation Commission. 
Laurel was not a significant segment of the Company's 
business.  

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements 
have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to 
Form 10-Q and therefore, do not necessarily include all
information that would be included in audited financial
statements.  The information furnished reflects all 
adjustments which are, in the opinion of Management, 
necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations.  
All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.  The
results of operations for the interim periods are not 
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for 
the full year.

Reclassification of Comparative Amounts

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL 
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

                   Financial Condition

Total assets at June 30, 1996 increased by $988,999 from that
reported at December 31,1995.  The increase resulted 
primarily from  increases in cash and due from banks of
$2,216,305 and net loans of $3,056,313, which were offset by
decreases in  federal funds sold of $900,000 and investment
securities of $3,222,493.

The increase in cash and due from banks was funded by the
decrease in federal funds sold and an increase in 
stockholder's equity of $886,795.

The decrease in investment securities primarily funded the
increase in net loans.  U.S. Government agencies and 
Corporate notes declined by $2,436,413 and $3,266,323,
respectively, due to maturities and calls, while U.S. 
Treasury  notes increased by $1,895,312.  The Company also
purchased several equity securities which have been 
classified as available for sale. 

The increase in net loans was primarily due to an increase 
in mortgage loans of $3,524,204, essentially in home equity
and commercial real estate loans.  As in 1995, Management is
continuing its concentration on consumer and small business 
lending.  This has permitted the Company to meet the needs 
of the communities for which it serves.  The allowance for 
loan losses increased by 2.10% or $60,605 as fewer charge 
offs and continuing recoveries of loan losses resulted in a 
net recovery position for the second quarter of 1996.  As of 
June 30, 1996, the allowance for loan losses represents 
3.07% of the outstanding loan balances as compared to 3.11% 
for December 31, 1995.

The increase in total deposits of $5,680,771 and U.S. 
Treasury demand notes of $1,059,141 was offset by a decrease 
in securities sold under agreements to repurchase of 
$6,585,200.   Money market deposits decreased while all other 
deposit categories experienced increases.  The decrease in
securities sold under agreements to repurchase is primarily 
due to the loss of a repurchase customer.

The increase in equity capital was attributed to net earnings 
of  $1,147,362 and unrealized gains on available for sale
securities of $793, less dividend payments totalling  
$261,360.

Management monitors risk-based capital and leverage capital
ratios in order to assess compliance with regulatory 
guidelines.  At June 30, 1996, the Company had total risk-
based capital of 19.41%, exceeding the 8.00% minimum risk-
based capital requirement.  Core equity capital, which must 
be at least 50% of the total risk-based capital, was 93.47% 
of this requirement at June 30, 1996.  Additionally, the 
Company must maintain an adequate minimum leverage capital 
ratio.  The minimum leverage capital ratio for the highest-
rated institutions is 3.00%, with all other institutions 
expected to maintain higher ratios.  As of  June 30, 1996 
the Company's leverage capital ratio was 10.18%.

                  Results of Operations

  Comparison of Six Months Ended June 30, 1996 and 1995.  

The Company's  net income increased by $348,168 from 1995 
when comparing the first six months of 1995 to 1996.  
Effecting net income positively was an increase in interest
income of $386,710 and decreases in  interest expense of 
$22,225 and other expense of $166,430.  Negative effects to 
net income were primarily due to an increase in income taxes 
of $216,900.

Net interest income for  1996 increased $408,935 from 1995 
due to an increase in interest income and a decrease in 
interest expense.  The increase in interest income resulted 
from increases in interest and  fees on loans of $239,446 
and interest on investment securities of $346,396, offset by 
a decrease in interest on federal funds sold of $195,042.  
The increase in interest and fees on loans and interest on 
investment securities were attributable to increases in both 
the average outstanding balance and net yields.  The decrease 
in interest on federal funds sold is due to decreases in both 
the average outstanding balance and net yield.  The decrease 
in interest expense resulted primarily from a decrease in the
cost of interest-bearing liabilities which was offset by an
increase in the average outstanding balance.

Because of Management's efforts, the Bank experienced lower 
non-performing loans and charge offs, while increasing the 
loan growth.  Fewer charge offs and continuing recoveries of 
loan losses resulted in a net recovery position for 1996 
and 1995.  Because of improved loan quality and loan 
monitoring, Management did not feel a loan loss provision 
was necessary in either period.

Other expenses decreased from 1995 to 1996, primarily due to 
a decrease in deposit insurance premiums of $211,271.  
Deposit  insurance premiums decreased from 1995 as the result 
of the Bank having the highest classification  for deposit 
premium purposes resulting in the statutory $500 minimum per
quarter being assessed in 1996.

The increase in income taxes was due to an increase in  
pretax income of $565,068 and an alternative minimum tax 
credit which lowered taxes in 1995.  The effective tax rates 
were 19.22% for 1995 and 26.18% for 1996.

                  Results of Operations

 Comparison of  Three Months Ended June 30, 1996 and 1995.  

The Company's net income increased by $130,040 for the second
quarter of 1996, as compared to net income for the second 
quarter of 1995.  Effecting net income positively were  
increases in interest income of $81,886 and other income of 
$49,375 and decreases in  interest expense of $75,821 and 
other expense of $26,758.  Negative effects to net income
consisted of an increase in income taxes of $103,800.

Net interest income for the second quarter of 1996 increased
$157,707 as compared to the second quarter of 1995 from an
increase in interest income and a decrease in interest 
expense.  The increase in interest income resulted primarily 
from increases in interest and  fees on loans of $54,946 and
interest on investment securities of $174,885, offset by a
decrease in interest on federal funds sold of $145,939.  The
increase in interest and fees on loans and interest on 
investment securities from the second quarter of 1995 to the
second quarter of 1996 represents increases in the average
outstanding balances.  The increase in interest on 
investments was also due to investing in higher yielding
securities.  The decrease in interest on federal funds sold 
is due to decreases in both the average outstanding balance 
and net yield.  The decrease in interest expense resulted
primarily from a decrease in the cost of interest-bearing
liabilities which was offset by an increase in the average
outstanding balance.

Other income increased for the second quarter of 1996 as 
compared to that of 1995.  The increase was primarily due to
$32,348 in gains on the sale of two properties held as other 
real estate.

Other expenses decreased for the second quarter of 1996 as
compared to that of 1995.  The decrease was  primarily due 
to decreases in deposit insurance premiums of $105,625 and
premises and equipment expense of $27,118, which were offset 
by an increase in other expense of $109,996.  Deposit  
insurance premiums decreased from 1995 as the result of the 
Bank having the highest classification  for deposit premium
purposes resulting in the statutory $500 minimum per quarter
being assessed in 1996.  The  decrease in premises and 
equipment was primarily due to an insurance reimbursement 
of $30,872 for repairs due to minor flood damage at the 
Confluence office which were expensed in the first quarter 
of 1996.  The increase in other expense resulted from credits 
of $68,000 recorded to other expense in 1995 due to Laurel's
dissolution.  See Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 
for more discussion on Laurel.

The increase in income taxes for the second quarter of 1996 
as compared to the second quarter of 1995 was due to an 
increase in  pretax income of $233,840 and an alternative 
minimum tax credit which lowered taxes in 1995.  The 
effective tax rates were 19.76% for 1995 and 26.64% for 1996.

                        Liquidity

To ensure that the Bank can satisfy customer credit needs for
current and future commitments and depository withdrawal
requirements, the Bank manages the liquidity position by 
ensuring that there are adequate short-term funding sources 
available for those needs.  Liquid assets consist of cash 
and due from banks, federal funds sold and investment 
securities maturing in one year or less.  The following 
table shows these liquidity sources, minus short-term 
borrowings as of June 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995, 
(dollars in thousands):

                    Capital Resources

Capital management is an ongoing process that consists of
providing equity for both current and future financial
positioning.  The Company manages its capital to execute its
strategic business plans and support its growth and 
investments.  During the first six months of 1996, the 
Company increased its capital base by $886,795 or 4.59%,
primarily through retained earnings.  For the first six 
months of  1995, capital increased by $549,954 or 3.09%.

Bank regulatory agencies have capital adequacy and risk-based
capital adequacy guidelines by which they monitor the capital
adequacy of financial institutions and holding companies.  
The Company has complied with the regulatory requirements 
and expects to remain in compliance in the future.

The first measure is risk-based capital which measures the
relationship between capital, segregated between Tier 1 and 
Tier 2 capital, and risk-weighted assets, as defined.

Tier 1 capital generally consists of stockholders' equity, 
non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock and minority interest 
in consolidated subsidiaries.  Tier 2 capital includes the
allowance for loan losses up
                                                                  
                            10
<PAGE> 
to 1.25% of risk-weighted assets, cumulative preferred stock,
term subordinated debt and other hybrid capital instruments. 
Total capital is reduced by such items as goodwill and other
certain intangible assets.  Additionally, Tier 2 capital 
cannot exceed 50% of the minimum capital requirements, which 
is 8% for 1996. Risk-weighted assets are derived by applying
certain predetermined percentages, ranging from 0 to 100% to 
on-balance sheet assets and off-balance sheet items based 
upon their defined measure of credit risk.

The secured measure is the leverage capital ratio which 
evaluates capital adequacy based upon Tier 1 capital in 
relation to quarterly average assets, adjusted for the 
allowance for loan losses, goodwill and certain other 
intangible assets.  The minimum leverage capital ratio for 
the highest-rated institutions is 3%, with all other 
institutions expected to maintain higher ratios.
Furthermore, pursuant to the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 (FDICIA), the Federal 
Banking Regulators have set minimum risk-based capital ratios 
for a well capitalized banking institution at 6% Tier 1 
capital, 10% total capital and 5% leverage capital ratio.  
The Company has exceeded all these capital ratios and expects 
to exceed these ratios in the future to continue to be 
classified as a well capitalized bank.

Management has calculated and monitored the following risk-
based and leverage capital ratios in order to assess 
compliance with these regulatory guidelines for the Company 
at June 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995, (dollars in 
thousands):

         NON-PERFORMING ASSETS AND RISK ELEMENTS

Reviews of the loan portfolio are conducted by an internal
committee quarterly and annually by an outside consultant.  
The results of the outside consultant are then compared to 
the internal reviews with detailed explanations of 
differences, if any.  Commercial loans and residential 
mortgages are placed on a non-accrual status when principal 
and interest become 90 days past due.  Delinquent loans are 
reviewed monthly by senior management and the Loan Committee 
of the Board.  Generally, all consumer loans and commercial 
loans less than $100,000 and not secured by real estate, will 
be charged off at 90 days past due,  while all loans secured 
by real estate and in the process of foreclosure will be 
charged off at 180 days past due.  All commercial loans 
greater than $100,000 and not secured by real estate, will be
subject to the conditions of the action plan between the Bank 
and the customer to correct the default. 

A loan remains on a non-accrual status until principal and
interest become current and a consistent track record of 
payments is established, or it is determined to be 
uncollectible and is charged off against the allowance for 
loan losses.  A loan would be classified as restructured when 
the terms have been modified, because of deterioration in 
the financial position of the borrowers, to provide for a 
reduction of either interest or principal.  It is Management's
opinion that the Bank did not have any loans that met the
definition of a restructured loan as of June 30, 1996 and
December 31, 1995.

In 1995, the Company adopted Statement of Financial 
Accounting Standards No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for
Impairment of a Loan," as amended by Statement No. 118.  It 
is Management's opinion that the Bank did not have any 
loans that met the definition of an impaired loan as of
