(4)      New Financial Accounting Standards

     Effective January 1, 1998, the Company adopted SFAS No. 130 "Reporting
Comprehensive Income." SFAS No. 130 requires that certain financial activity
normally disclosed in stockholders' equity be reported in the statement of
operations as an adjustment to net income in computing comprehensive income. In
addition, SFAS No. 130 requires restatement of all prior periods presented.
Items applicable to the Company include unrealized gains and losses on
investment securities. Accumulated comprehensive income components are to be
reported in a separate caption in the consolidated statements of stockholders'
equity. The Company did not experience any financial impact from the
implementation of SFAS No. 130.

     In June 1998, SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities," was issued. SFAS 133 requires that an entity recognize all
derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial
position and measure these instruments at fair value.  In certain circumstances
a derivative may be specifically designed as a hedge of the exposure to changes
in the fair values of a recognized asset or liability or an unrecognized firm
commitment, the exposure to variable cash flows of a forecasted transaction, or
the exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency. SFAS No. 133 will be effective
for all periods beginning after June 15, 2000. Earlier application is permitted,
but the statement shall not be applied retroactively to financial statements of
prior periods.  The Company does not anticipate any material impact from the
implementation of SFAS No. 133.

ITEM 2.      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
             RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

     Century Bancshares, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Company"), and a
registered bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as
amended ("BHCA"), was incorporated and organized in 1985.  The Company began
active operations in 1986 with the acquisition of its subsidiary, Century
National Bank ("Bank"), a full service bank which opened for business in 1982.
The Bank provides a broad line of financial products and services  to small and
medium sized businesses and consumers, through its main office located at
1875 Eye Street, N.W.,  Washington, D.C., a branch office located at
1275 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W.,  two offices in Northern Virginia at
8251 Greensboro Drive and 6832 Old Dominion Drive, McLean, Virginia, and a
branch office at 7625 Wisconsin Avenue, Bethesda, Maryland. Lending services
are concentrated in professional, service, and commercial business sectors
located in the metropolitan Washington, DC area.  The Company has contracted to
purchase what will become its sixth branch office and the third in Northern
Virginia. The acquisition of this new branch in Dumfries, Virginia, is expected
to be completed in October 1999 with loans and deposits of approximately
$5.7 million and $9.8 million, respectively.  The Company's principal executive
offices are located at 1275 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W., Washington, DC 20004,
and its phone number at that address is (202) 496-4100.

     The Company derives substantially all of its revenue and income from the
operation of the Bank,  which provides a full range of commercial and consumer
banking services to small and middle market businesses and individuals in the
Washington, DC metropolitan area.  As of June 30, 1999, the Company had total
assets of $178.4 million,  total deposits of $145.8 million, and stockholders'
equity of $15.8 million.  At June 30, 1999, the Company had approximately
1,000 shareholders of the Company's common stock, par value $1.00 per share
("Common Stock").

    Items 2 and 3 of this report contain certain forward-looking statements
regarding future financial condition and results of operations and the Company's
business operations.  The words "may,"  "intend,"  "will,"  "believe," "expect,"
"estimate," "anticipate," "predict" and similar expressions, the negatives of
those words and other variations on those words or comparable terminology, and
similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such
tatements involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions and, although the Company
believes that such assumptions are reasonable, it can give no assurance that its
expectations regarding these matters will be achieved.  Our actual results may
differ materially from what we expect.  The important factors that could cause
actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements include,
without limitation, the factors discussed in the Company's Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 1998 under the caption "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" as well as the
following factors: general economic conditions in the Washington, DC
metropolitan area; changes in interest rates; changes in asset quality; the
effect on the Company of the extensive scheme of regulation by several federal
agencies; the departure of certain key executives; the year 2000 problem; and
competition from other providers of financial services.  Should one or more of
these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove
incorrect, such actual outcomes may vary materially from those indicated.

Net Income

     For the three months ended June 30, 1999, the Company's net income was
$293 thousand, or $0.11 per diluted share, compared with $170 thousand for the
first three months of 1998, or $0.06 per diluted share.  The 73 percent increase
in net income was primarily attributable to a $338 thousand increase in net
interest income resulting  from a significant increase in earning assets, and a
$159 thousand increase in noninterest income, partially offset by a
$332 thousand increase in  noninterest expense.  Service charges on deposit
accounts increased by 59 percent to $175 thousand, and other operating income
increased 85 percent to $271 thousand primarily as a result of an increase in
bank card revenues. Increases in noninterest expenses included 49 percent
increase in of salaries and benefits, and a 68 percent increase in data
processing due largely to the increased costs of bank card processing of
merchant accounts.  Return on average assets was 0.70 percent in the second
quarter of 1999 compared to 0.48 percent for the same period in 1998. Return on
average stockholders' equity was 7.50 percent for the three months ended
June 30, 1999, compared with 4.89 percent for the same period in 1998.
Stockholders' equity to total assets was 8.85 percent at June 30, 1999 compared
to 10.13 percent at June 30, 1998.

ITEM 2.       MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
              RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, CONTINUED

Net Income,  continued

     For the six months ended June 30, 1999, the Company's net income was
$504 thousand, or $0.18 per diluted share, compared with $301 thousand for the
first six months of 1998, or $0.11 per diluted share.  The 67 percent increase
in net income was primarily attributable to a $497 thousand increase in net
interest income resulting  from a significant increase in earning assets,  and
a $298 thousand increase in noninterest income, partially offset by a
$525 thousand increase in  noninterest expense.  Service charges on deposit
accounts increased by 58 percent to $329 thousand, and other operating income
increased 70 percent to $507 thousand primarily as a result of an increase in
bank card revenues. Increases in noninterest expenses included 27 percent a
increase in the cost of salaries and benefits, and a 62 percent increase in data
processing due largely to increased costs of bank card processing of merchant
accounts.  Return on average assets was 0.63 percent in the first half of 1999
compared to 0.42 percent for the same period in 1998.  Return on average
stockholders' equity was 6.54 percent for the first six months ended June 30,
1999, compared with 4.41 percent for the same period in 1998.  Stockholders'
equity to total assets was 8.85 percent at June 30, 1999 compared to
10.13 percent at June 30, 1998.


Net Interest Income

     For the quarter ended June 30, 1999,  net interest income  was $2.0 million
compared with $1.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 1998, an increase of
$338 thousand,  or 20 percent.  The increase in net interest income between the
periods was due to an increase in the net interest spread as the 0.36 percent
reduction in the cost of funds exceeded the 0.25 percent reduction in the gross
yield on earning assets, and there was a $5.2 million increase in average net
interest earning assets while the net interest margin was unchanged at
5.02 percent during the second quarter of 1999.

     For the six months ended June 30, 1999,  net interest income  was
$3.9 million compared with $3.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 1998,
an increase of $497 thousand,  or 15 percent.  The increase in net interest
income between the periods was due to an increase in the net interest spread as
the 0.45 percent reduction in the cost of funds exceeded the 0.30 percent
reduction in the gross yield on earning assets, and there was a $6.0 million
increase in average net interest earning assets while the net interest margin
increased by 0.12 percent to 5.19 percent during the first half of 1999.

   During the three and six month periods of 1999 compared to 1998,  the
reduction in the yields of the components of earning assets was greater than the
reduction in the yield on total average earning assets,  because there was a
redeployment of assets from relatively lower yielding securities and short term
investments to relatively higher yielding loans.

The following tables set forth the average yields and rates for interest earned
and paid for significant categories of interest earning assets and interest
bearing liabilities for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1999 and
1998.

Noninterest Income

     Noninterest income was $446 thousand in the second quarter of  1999, a
$159 thousand increase when compared with the same quarter of 1998, which was
$287 thousand (see table below). The increase between the periods was primarily
due to increases in deposit service charges, credit card and merchant fees
caused by increased volumes, and the  new mortgage loan origination program
which began in the second quarter of 1999.  Unlike 1998,  there were no
nonrecurring gains from the sale of investment securities or foreclosed property
in 1999.

Noninterest Expense

     Noninterest expense was $1.8 million in the second quarter of 1999, an
increase of $332 thousand, or 22 percent, when compared to 1998 when total
noninterest expense was $1.5 million.  The increase in noninterest expense
included a $115 thousand (68 percent) increase in data processing expense, which
corresponds with the growth in the bank's operations, the increase in the volume
of bank card processing of merchant accounts, and the costs of Y2K preparedness.
A significant increase in the scope of the  Company's operations was accompanied
by increases in many of the noninterest expense categories, including salaries
and benefits, which increased by $237 thousand (49 percent) and communications
which increased by $20 thousand (28 percent). The $237 thousand increase in
salaries and benefits during the second quarter is primarily due to increased
personnel costs of $94 thousand (13 percent) consistent with Company growth, and
timing differences of $143 thousand (64 percent) associated with the application
of SFAS No. 91, Accounting for Nonrefundable Fees and Costs Associated with
Originating or Acquiring Loans and Initial Direct Costs of Leases, between year
to date 1999 versus 1998.

Investments

     The Company's investment portfolio of $11.2 million as of June 30, 1999,
consisted mostly of U.S. Government Agency obligations.  This represented an
increase of $1.8 million, or 19 percent, compared with the investment portfolio
total of $9.3 million at December 31, 1998.  The increase during the first half
of 1999 provided additional liquidity and collateral available for borrowing and

Loans

     The Company presently is, and in the future expects to remain, a middle
market banking organization serving professionals and businesses with interests
in and around the Washington, DC metropolitan area. Most of the Company's loan
portfolio is collateralized by first mortgages and home equity lines of credit
on residential real estate.  Although residential real estate loans increased
over the past twelve months, the Company anticipates that this concentration
will decline as the Company continues its emphasis on the development of new
commercial loan business, including commercial real estate loans.  Most of the
Company's commercial real estate loans are secured by owner-occupied properties
with borrowers that are also banking customers of the Company.  As of June 30,
1999 and 1998, approximately $87.1 million (67 percent) and $62.0 million
(61 percent) of the Company's total loan portfolio, respectively, consisted of
loans secured by real estate, of which one-to-four family residential mortgage
loans and home equity lines of credit represented $34.8 million (27 percent) and
$32.3 million (32 percent), respectively, of the Company's total loan portfolio.

Asset Quality

     In originating loans, the Company recognizes that credit losses will be
experienced and the risk of loss will vary with, among other things, general
economic conditions, the type of loan being made, the creditworthiness of the
borrower over the term of the loan and, in the case of a collateralized loan,
the quality of the collateral for such loan. The Company maintains an allowance
for credit losses based upon, among other things, such factors as historical
experience, the volume and type of lending conducted by the Company, the amount
of nonperforming assets, regulatory policies, generally accepted accounting
principles, general economic conditions, and other factors related to the
collectibility of loans in the Company's portfolios. In addition to unallocated
allowances, specific allowances are provided for individual loans when ultimate
collection is considered questionable by management after reviewing the current
status of loans which are contractually past due and after considering the net
realizable value of the collateral for the loan.

     Management actively monitors the Company's asset quality in a continuing
effort to charge-off loans against the allowance for loan losses when
appropriate and to provide specific loss allowances when necessary. Although
management believes it uses the best information available to make
determinations with respect to the allowance for credit losses,  future
adjustments may be necessary if actual economic conditions and other assumptions
differ from those used in making the initial determinations.  At June 30,  1999,
the allowance for credit losses was $1.4 million, or 1.08 percent of total
loans.  This represents an increase in the allowance compared to $1.1 million,
or 0.98 percent of total loans as of December 31, 1998. The Company has
increased the allowance, as a percentage of total loans outstanding, to reflect
the upward trend in loan charge-offs experienced by the Company over the
previous two years.  The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of
nonperforming loans 157 percent at June 30, 1999, compared to 72 percent at
December 31, 1998 and 105 percent at June 30, 1998.

     Total nonperforming loans were $898 thousand at June 30, 1999, compared
with $1.5 million at December 31, 1998, and $958 thousand at June 30, 1998. At
June 30, 1999, there were 5 nonperforming loans amounting to $898 thousand. One
of these loans, in the amount of $383 thousand, is secured by owner-occupied
commercial real estate with a loan-to-value ratio of 77 percent. A second loan,
in the amount of $223 thousand, is secured by residential rental property with
a loan-to-value ratio of 81 percent.  The other loans are secured by business
assets and junior liens on real estate.  In each of these cases, the borrowers
and the Company are working together to resolve the loans and, although the
loans are past due, some payments are being made on a regular basis.  Where
appropriate,  the Company has established reserves which management believes are
sufficient to absorb future losses.

Asset Quality, continued


     Provisions for credit losses are charged to income to bring the total
allowance for loan losses to a level deemed appropriate by management, based on
the factors identified above.  The provision for credit losses during the first
half of 1999 was $325 thousand, while the allowance for credit losses increased
from $1.1 million (0.98 percent of loans) to $1.4 million (1.08 percent of
loans) and net charge-offs were $44 thousand. During the first half of 1998, the
provision for credit losses was $383 thousand, as the allowance for credit
losses increased from $887 thousand (0.94 percent of loans) to $1.0 million
(1.00 percent of loans) and net charge-offs were $262 thousand. The increases in
the valuation allowance for credit losses were largely the result of the
$15.0 million (13 percent) increase in loans outstanding during the first half
of 1999 and the $36.0 million (38 percent) increase in loans during the past
eighteen months.  These trends, taken into consideration with other factors in
the Company's internal analysis of the valuation allowance for credit loss, have
led to increased reserve requirements and a resulting provision expense to
maintain the allowance at a level deemed appropriate by management of the
Company (see table on the following page).

Deposits

     The Company's total deposits at June 30, 1999 were $145.8 million, an
increase of $30.7 million, or 27 percent, over the balance at June 30, 1998, and
an increase of $19.6 million, or 16 percent, compared to 1998's year-end
balance.  Total average deposits were $133.1 million for the six months ended
June 30, 1999, an increase of $11.3 million, or 9 percent, compared to the first
six months of 1998. The Company views deposit growth as a significant challenge
in its effort to increase its asset size. Thus, the Company is focusing on its
branching program with increased emphasis on commercial accounts, and the
offering of more competitive  interest rates and products to stimulate deposit
growth.  This strategy has and will continue to result in a relatively higher
cost of funds in addition to lower fee income as many of these commercial
customers may utilize accounts with lower transaction costs and have a lower
number of transactions than retail customers.

Capital Resources

     Total stockholders' equity at June 30, 1999 was $15.8 million, an increase
of $472 thousand, compared to total stockholders' equity of $15.3 million at
December 31, 1998.  Stockholders' equity was increased during the first half of
1999 by net income of $504 thousand and by $58 thousand received from the
exercise of stock options, and was reduced by $60 thousand attributable to the
decline in the market value of investment securities available for sale net of
the tax effect and the repurchase of 5,000 shares of common stock held in
treasury at a cost of $30 thousand.

     The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency has established certain
minimum risk-based capital standards that apply to national banks, and the
Company is subject to certain capital requirements imposed by the Federal
Reserve Board.  At June 30, 1999,  Century National Bank exceeded all applicable
regulatory capital requirements for classification as a "well capitalized" bank,
and the Company satisfied all applicable regulatory requirements imposed on it
by the Federal Reserve Board.

ITEM 2.         MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
                RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, CONTINUED

Year 2000 Compliance

    The "Year 2000 problem" arose because many existing computer programs use
only the last two digits to refer to a year. Therefore, these computer programs
do not properly recognize a year that begins with "20" instead of the familiar
"19."  If not corrected, many computer applications could fail or create
erroneous results. The extent of the potential impact of the year 2000 problem
is not yet known; however, the consequences of the year 2000 problem could have
a material effect on the Company's business, results of operations, or financial
condition.

  In December 1997, the Company adopted a year 2000 compliance plan ("Y2K Plan")
for the assessment of its exposure to the year 2000 problem, completion of any
required remediation, and testing of systems compliance. A specific timetable
was established, and a senior officer of the Company was assigned leadership
responsibility. The officer reports monthly to the Board of Directors concerning
the status of the Y2K Plan, and the Company's progress is also reviewed from
time to time by bank regulatory authorities.

    The Company believes that it is presently on schedule with respect to its
Y2K Plan, and outside reviews to date have found the Company's year 2000
compliance efforts to be satisfactory.   As of June 30, 1999 the Company's
estimated percentage of completion on its Y2K Plan was 98 percent, and the
estimated date for 100 percent completion was August 31, 1999.  Testing of
mission critical systems was completed in November 1998. Testing methodology
included copying the entire customer data base onto a Year 2000 compliant
(hardware and software) computer system, and utilizing the key Year 2000 dates
defined by the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC) to
test date sensitive transactions and calculations.  These tests were performed
on all mission critical systems and the results revealed compliance or very
minor discrepancies;  such failed test transactions were tested again in 1999
and the minor discrepancies have been resolved.  Material third party risks also
include assessing the Year 2000 preparation status of bank borrowing customers.
The Company completed a risk assessment of Year 2000 preparedness of borrowers
within its loan portfolio as of  the bank regulatory target date, September 30,
1998, and continues to monitor Y2K preparedness related to new loans and any
borrowers deemed to be at high risk.

    As part of its Y2K Plan, the Company has spent approximately $145,000 for
the replacement of outdated computer hardware and software.  Much of these
expenditures would have been incurred in the ordinary course of business to
maintain such computer systems,  regardless of Year 2000 problem considerations.
The human resources requirement includes the time of regular Company employees,
a network administration consultant, and approximately $20,000 of additional
consulting expenses.  Because most of the Company's data processing is provided
by outside vendors on a contract basis, management does not currently anticipate
that the costs to address the Company's year 2000 issues will have a significant
impact on the financial position or results of operations of the Company.

                RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, CONTINUED

Year 2000 Compliance, continued


   The Company believes that the most likely worst case scenarios due to the
Year 2000 problem could include:  (1) lack of liquidity caused by customers'
withdrawal of extra cash,  (2) increased criminal activity stimulated by public
awareness that banks are holding additional cash to avoid liquidity problems,
and (3) short term electric power interruptions. The Company is taking steps to
establish and renew lines of credit with its correspondent banks and the Federal
Home Loan Bank of Atlanta to assure that adequate liquidity will be available to
meet the needs of customers.  Additional security precautions will be taken to
prevent possible crimes due to heightened public awareness of additional cash
reserves.  The Company does not believe that long term and widespread electric
power outages are likely,  and has planned to address short term interruptions
by training bank management and staff to be ready to provide limited service to
customers. The Company is dependent upon the services of Electronic Data Systems
Corp. (EDS) in Reston, Virginia, to provide access to customer data bases and
other mission critical functions.  EDS has informed the Company that EDS has
back-up services sites ready and available to provide services to the Company
should electric power interruptions or other problems occur in the Reston area.
The Company has completed the testing of the mission critical systems provided
by EDS.  The Company does not expect any significant loss in revenue to occur
as a result of Year 2000 problems.

  The Company's Y2K Plan includes certain contingency plans to be implemented in
the event compliance benchmarks are not met on a timely basis and/or systems
fail to perform in accordance with plans and expectations.   For the most part,
these contingency plans involve a reversion to manual process for all mission
critical business functions, which the Company believes is practical in view of
the relative size and scope of its operations.  Training of management and staff
on these procedures and processes was completed in July 1999, and additional
refresher training will be provided during November and December 1999.

ITEM 2.       MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
              RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, CONTINUED

Liquidity

    The Company's Asset/Liability Management Policy is intended to maintain
adequate liquidity for the Company and thereby enhance its ability to raise
funds to support asset growth, meet deposit withdrawals and lending needs,
maintain reserve requirements and otherwise sustain operations.  The Company
accomplishes this primarily through management of the maturities of its
interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.  The Company believes
that its present liquidity position is adequate to meet its current and future
needs.

    Asset liquidity is provided by cash and assets which are readily marketable,
or which can be pledged, or which will mature in the near future. The asset
liquidity of the Bank is maintained in the form of vault cash, demand deposits
with commercial banks, federal funds sold, interest bearing deposits with other
financial institutions, short-term investment securities, other investment
securities available-for-sale, and short-term loans.  The Company has defined
"cash and cash equivalents" as those amounts included in cash and due from banks
and federal funds sold.  At June 30, 1999, the Company had cash and cash
equivalents of $15.0 million, an increase of $1.8 million, when compared with
the $13.2 million at December 31, 1998.

     Liability liquidity is provided by access to core funding sources,
principally customers' deposit accounts in the Company's market area.  As a
member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta ("FHLBA"), the Company is
authorized to borrow up to $30.0 million secured by a blanket pledge of its
portfolio of 1-to-4-family residential mortgage loans,  investment securities,
and other collateral.  The Company also has lines of credit from larger
correspondent banks to borrow excess reserves on an overnight basis (known as
"federal funds purchased") in the amount of $5.7 million, and to borrow on a
secured basis ("repurchase agreements") in the amount of $5.0 million.  At
June 30, 1999, the Company had no federal funds purchased, $2.9 million in
customer repurchase agreements, and was utilizing $12.1 million of its available
FHLBA borrowings in the form of fixed-rate ($9.1 million) and variable-rate
($3.0 million) advances with an average cost of 5.81%. The Company utilizes
fixed rate term credit advances from the FHLBA to fund fixed rate real estate
loans of comparable terms and maturities.  As of June 30, 1999, the Company had
also obtained a guaranteed $4.0 million Y2K Commitment from the FHLBA under
which funds will be available in November and December 1999, if needed, in the
form of fixed or variable rate advances with 3 to 12 month maturities.

   The Company had cash on hand in the amount of $1.5 million at the holding
company level at June 30, 1999. The Company anticipates using these funds as
working capital available to support the future growth of the franchise as well
as to pay normal operating expenses.  Working capital is further augmented by
dividends available from the Bank, subject to certain regulatory restrictions
generally applicable to national banks. At June 30, 1999, the Company had no
indebtedness outstanding at the holding company level.

ITEM 3.        QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

     The Company's principal market risk exposure is to interest rates.

     Net interest income, which constitutes the principal source of income for
the Company, represents the difference between interest income on
interest-earning assets and interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities.
The difference between the Company's interest-rate sensitive assets and
interest-rate sensitive liabilities for a specified time-frame is referred to as
an interest sensitive "gap." Interest rate sensitivity reflects the potential
effect on net interest income of a movement in interest rates.  A financial
institution is considered to be asset sensitive, or having a positive gap, when
the amount of its interest-earning assets maturing or repricing exceeds the
amount of its interest-bearing liabilities also maturing or repricing within
that time period.  Conversely, a financial institution is considered to be
liability sensitive, or having a negative gap, when the amount of its
interest-bearing liabilities maturing or repricing exceeds the amount of its
interest-earning assets.  During a period of rising (falling) interest rates, a
positive gap would tend to increase (decrease) net interest income, while a
negative gap would tend to decrease (increase) net interest income.

     Management seeks to maintain a balanced interest rate risk position to
protect its net interest margin from market fluctuations.  Toward this end, the
Company maintains an Asset/Liability Committee (the "ALCO") which reviews, on a
regular basis, the maturity and repricing of the assets and liabilities of the
Company.  The ALCO has adopted the objective of achieving and maintaining a
one-year cumulative GAP, as a percent of total assets, of between plus
10 percent and minus 10 percent.  In addition, ALCO monitors potential changes
in net interest income under various interest rate
scenarios. On a consolidated basis, the Company's one year cumulative gap was a
positive 4.92 percent of total assets at June 30, 1999.

     Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and
rates, arising primarily from interest rate risk in the Company's portfolios,
which can significantly impact the Company's profitability and market value of
equity.   The ALCO has adopted the objective that an immediate increase or
decrease of 200 basis points in market interest rate should not result in a
change of more than 10 percent (plus or minus) in the Company's projected net
interest income over the next twelve months or in the Company's market value of
portfolio equity, and not more than 20 percent (plus or minus) in projected net
income.  At June 30, 1999, the forecasted impact of an immediate increase (or
decrease) of 200 basis points would have resulted in an increase (or decrease)
in net interest income over a twelve month period of 2.91 percent and
(5.04 percent) respectively, an increase (or decrease) in the market value of
portfolio equity of 2.31 percent and (2.86 percent) respectively, and an
increase (or decrease) in net income over a twelve month period of 10.20 percent
and (17.70 percent) respectively.

   Since there are limitations inherent in any methodology used to estimate the
exposure to changes in market interest rates, the analysis included herein is
not intended to be a forecast of the actual effect of a change in  market
interest rates on the Company.   The analysis is based on the Company's assets
and liabilities as of June 30, 1999, and does not contemplate any actions the
Company might undertake in response to changes in market interest rates, which
could change the anticipated results.  The analysis assumes repricing and/or
repayment of all assets and liabilities in accordance with their contractual
terms with the exception of (a) mortgage-backed securities, which are assumed to
prepay at a rate based on consensus market expectations, and (b) non-maturity
customer deposits, which are assumed to respond to interest rate changes on a
three-month time-lag basis consistent with the company's historical experience
for various types of deposit accounts.
