interim periods a fair statement of such operations.  All such adjustments
are of a normal recurring nature.

2.    Interest-Rate Risk Management - The Company sometimes uses various
interest rate related contracts, such as futures and options, to manage its
overall interest rate risk exposure for asset-liability management purposes.
When such contracts are not matched against a specifically designated group
of assets or liabilities and are held for trading purposes, the gains or
losses from the change in the market values of such contracts are recognized
in current income and are reported in other income.

      The Company's objective in managing interest-rate risk is to maintain
a balanced mix of interest-sensitive assets and interest-sensitive
liabilities over a designated time horizon.  The extent of interest rate
sensitivity can vary within intervening time periods, depending on current
business conditions and management's interest rate outlook.  The principal
objective of the Bank's asset-liability management activities is to provide
maximum levels of net interest income while maintaining acceptable levels of
interest rate and liquidity risk while facilitating the funding needs of the
Bank.  To achieve that objective, the Bank uses various derivative financial
instruments.

      During the first quarter of 1996 the Bank purchased $145 million of
interest rate swap contracts as part of its asset-liability management
strategy to manage interest rate risk.  The contracts, which require the
Bank to pay a fixed rate of interest and receive a variable rate of interest
from the seller of the contract, are accounted for as modifications of the
interest rate characteristics of certain bank assets.  The Bank had been in
a liability sensitive position prior to the affect of these swap contracts.

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

      The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the
attached condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, and
with the Company's audited financial statements and notes thereto for the
year ended December 31, 1995.


SUMMARY OF EARNINGS
- -------------------

      Consolidated net income for the first quarter of 1996 was $3,263,000,
up $820,000 or 33.6% from $2,443,000 earned in the first quarter of 1995.
On a per share basis, net income was $.68, up 33.3% from $.51 in the same
period of the prior year.  The principal contributor to the improved
earnings was the increase in net interest income.  Adding to the improved
performance were gains realized on sales of available for sale securities.
Offsetting a portion of the income gains was a slightly higher provision for
possible loan losses and increased noninterest expenses.

      For the quarter, the Company's return on average assets was 1.36% in
1996, up from 1.27% in the same period last year.  The Company's return on
equity increased to 18.27% from 17.51% in the first three months of 1995.
Total assets at March 31, 1996 were $964 million, total loans outstanding
were $649 million and deposits were $855 million at the Company's five
banking locations.  At the end of March, 1996, total equity capital was
$69.7 million, or 7.22% of assets, down slightly from $70.1 million, or
7.05% at the end of 1995.  During the first quarter of 1996 the sum of the
unrealized loss, net of tax, on available for sale securities and dividends
paid exceeded net earnings and therefore total equity capital declined
during the period.


NET INTEREST INCOME
- -------------------

      The following discussion and tables set forth the composition of
average interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities along with
accompanying interest income, expense, yields and rates, on a tax-equivalent
basis.  The tax-equivalent adjustments were approximately $62,000 and
$69,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995.  Net interest
income on a tax equivalent basis, divided by average interest-earning
assets, represents the Company's net interest margin.


Three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995
- ------------------------------------------

      Total tax-equivalent interest income for the three months ended March
31, 1996 was $19,127,000, up $3,104,000 as compared to the same period in
1995.  The combination of a $60 million increase in average loans and $120
million of additional securities pushed total interest income above 1995
levels.   Offsetting a portion of the income advancement from increased
earning assets were the lower yields earned on most assets.  Total asset
yields declined to 8.19%,

                                    8
<PAGE> 9
down 40 basis points from 8.59% in 1995 as interest rates began a general
decline in late 1995 and early 1996.  Funding the Company's increased assets
was the $227 million increase in money market deposits raised mostly with
promotional rates in connection with the opening of its Concord Village office
in the last half of 1995.

      Total interest expense for the first quarter of 1996 was $9,652,000,
up $1,827,000 from $7,825,000 in the first quarter of 1995.  The increase in
interest expense resulted from the greater volume of money market deposits
and slightly higher rates paid on certificates of deposit.  Overall rates
paid on total interest bearing liabilities declined 13 basis points to 4.76%
from 4.89% in 1995.

      Total tax-equivalent net interest income increased $1,277,000 as
interest income growth exceeded that of interest expense.  The Company's net
interest margin was 4.05% in the first quarter of 1996 compared with 4.38%
in the same period in 1995 as the decline in yields on earning assets
exceeded the reduction in rates paid on total interest bearing liabilities.

PROVISION FOR POSSIBLE LOAN LOSSES
- ----------------------------------

      The  provision  for possible loan losses for the first quarter
of 1996  was  $1,100,000, up from  $800,000  for the same period last
year.   The annualized ratio of net charge-offs to average loans for
the first three months of 1996 was  .29% compared  with  .22%  for the
same period last year.   Net loan charge-offs  were  $454,000 and
$311,000 for the first quarter of 1996 and 1995, respectively.

      The allowance for possible loan losses was $11.4 million or 1.76%
of loans outstanding  at  March 31, 1996. This  compared  to  $10.8
million  at the end of 1995 and  $10.0 million, or  1.74% of loans, at
March 31, 1995. In   management's   judgement,   the  allowance  for
possible  loan  losses  is  considered  adequate  to  absorb potential
losses in the loan portfolio.

      The following table summarizes, for the  periods indicated,
activity in  the  allowance  for possible loan losses:

NONINTEREST INCOME
- ------------------

      For the first quarter of 1996 total noninterest income was $1,333,000,
up from $561,000 in the same period of 1995. Net securities gains of
$309,000 in 1996, compared with securities losses of $238,000 realized in
the first quarter of 1995, was the principal factor increasing 1996's
noninterest income total. In anticipation of a changing market the Company
began limiting its liability sensitivity in the first quarter of 1996 by
selling approximately $53 million of longer term available for sale
securities.  Proceeds from the sale of held to maturity securities were
approximately $2 million and all sales were within 90 days of each
security's maturity date.

      Service charges on depository accounts along with fees for other
customer services were $666,000, up slightly from $649,000 in the first
quarter of last year.  Trading profits and commissions were $358,000,
up substantially from $150,000 in the first quarter of 1995 as customer
activity improved  from the previous year.


NONINTEREST EXPENSE
- -------------------

      Total noninterest expense for the first quarter of 1996 was $4,448,000,
up $454,000 from $3,994,000 in the first three months of 1995.  Greater
personnel and benefit costs plus the accompanying increased occupancy and
equipment costs associated with the new Concord Village branch, opened in
June, 1995, were responsible for the increased overhead expenses in 1996.
Merit increases and greater benefit costs also increased overhead costs.
Even though total noninterest expenses were up 11.4%, the Company's first
quarter efficiency ratio improved to 41.2% from 45.6% in the same period in
1995.

CAPITAL MANAGEMENT AND RESOURCES
- --------------------------------

      As of March 31, 1996, the Company's total shareholders' equity was
$69.7 million.  New capital was provided by the Company's first quarter net
earnings and minimally by the exercise of stock options.  Offsetting the
Company's capital accumulation were the payments of cash dividends on
preferred and common stock and the recording of an unrealized loss, net of
tax, on available for sale securities.  During the first quarter of 1996 the
fair market values of the Company's available for sale securities declined
and thereby reversed a large portion of the security write-ups recorded
throughout most of 1995.

      The analysis of capital is dependent upon a number of factors
including asset quality, earnings strength, liquidity, economic conditions
and combinations thereof.  The two primary criteria currently in effect are
the risk-based capital guidelines and the minimum capital to total assets or
leverage ratio requirement.

      These regulatory guidelines require that Tier 1 capital equal or
exceed 4.00% of risk-weighted assets, and that the risk-based total capital
ratio equal or exceed 8.00%.  As of March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995 the
Company's Tier 1 capital was 10.56% and 10.30% of risk-weighted assets, and
total risk-based capital was 11.90% and 11.64% of risk-weighted assets,
respectively.

      The minimum acceptable ratio of Tier 1 capital to total assets, or
leverage ratio, has been established at 3.00%.  As of March 31, 1996 and
December 31, 1995, the Company's leverage ratio was 7.16% and 6.70%,
respectively.

      Management believes that a strong capital position provided by a mix
of equity and long-term debt is essential.  It provides safety and security
for depositors, and enhances Company value for shareholders by providing
opportunities for growth with the selective use of leverage.
