Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                               
 1.  Basis of Presentation

     The   consolidated  financial  statements  include  the
     accounts   of MetroBanCorp  and  its  wholly-owned
     affiliate,  MetroBank  (together; "Metro").  All
     significant intercompany transactions and balances have
     been eliminated.
     
     In  the  opinion  of  management of Metro, the
     consolidated  financial statements contain all the normal
     and recurring adjustments  necessary to  present fairly
     the consolidated financial position of Metro as  of June
     30, 1996 and December 31, 1995, and the results of its
     operations for  the three months and six months ended June
     30, 1996 and 1995, and its statement of cash flows for the
     six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995.
     
     These  statements  should be read in conjunction with
     Metro's  latest Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year
     ending December  31, 1995.

     Financial Accounting Standard No. 118,  on January 1,

     had no related specific allowance. The remaining impaired
     loans had a specific allowance of $24,000. Metro's  policy
     for recognizing income on impaired loans is to  accrue
     earnings  until  a loan is classified non-accrual.  
     For  loans  which receive  the classification of non-accrual
     during the current  period, interest accrued  to date
     is charged against current  earnings. All payments 
     received for a loan which is classified as  non-accrual
     are utilized to reduce the principal outstanding.
     
     For  the  six  months  ended June 30, 1996,  the  average
     balance  of impaired loans was $111,799. Additionally, 
     there  was no interest income  earned  on these  loans
     during 1996.
     
4.   The  Financial  Accounting Standards Board has issued
     SFAS  No.  122, "Accounting  for  Mortgage  Servicing
     Rights,"  which modifies  the accounting  for mortgage
     servicing rights to allow the recognition  of servicing 
     assets  whether they are  purchased  or  originated.
     The provisions of this statement  were adopted effective
     January 1,  1996, and  did  not have a material effect 
     on Metro's consolidated financial condition or results of
     operations.

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

The  following  management discussion is presented to  provide
information concerning  the consolidated financial condition of
Metro and  MetroBank  ( "Bank"  ),  as of June 30, 1996 as
compared to December 31, 1995,  and  the results  of operations
for the three and six month periods ending June  30, 1996 and
1995.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

At  June 30, 1996, Metro had total assets of $105.1 million, a
decrease  of $5.7 million or 5.2 percent from December 31,
1995.  This decrease resulted principally  from  a decrease in
the Bank's interest bearing  deposits  and securities sold
under agreements to repurchase.

Consolidated  earning assets amounted to $98.1 million or 93.3
percent  of total  assets at June 30, 1996.  The principal
components of earning assets were  loans in the amount of $66.0
million or 67.3 percent of total earning assets, and investment
securities of $30.7 million or 31.3 percent of total earning
assets.   Federal funds sold amounted  to  $1.5  million  or 1.4
percent  of  total  earning assets at June 30,  1996.   Earning
assets  at December  31,  1995 were $96.2 million.  Earning
assets as a percentage  of total  assets amounted to 86.7
percent at December 31, 1995. This  increase in earning assets
in 1996 is due principally to  increases in both the loan and
investment portfolios during the first two quarters of 1996,
combined with a decrease in non-earning assets.

LOANS

Total  loans  outstanding  increased $5.5  million  or  9.1
percent  since December  31,  1995  due  to  an increase in
short  and  intermediate  term commercial and installment
loans. This increase is a result of  growth  in the  Bank's
indirect lending portfolio as well as growth in the commercial
portfolio.  New business has been generated by the hiring of an
experienced lender,  as well as seasonal agricultural lending
in the first two quarters of  1996.  The overall loan demand
has been relatively strong in the Bank's local marketplace.

At  June  30, 1996, net loans amounted to 61.9 percent of total
assets  as compared  to  53.7 percent at year end 1995.  The
Bank's  loan  to  deposit ratio,  which  is one measure of
liquidity, was 72.0 percent  at  June  30,
1996, as compared to 63.7 percent at year end 1995.

</TABLE>

Delinquent  loans  at  June  30, 1996 were $1.5 million,
representing  2.3 percent of total loans.  At December 31,
1995, delinquent loans amounted to $1.7 million or 2.8 percent
of total loans outstanding. Delinquent loans in both periods
shown above consisted primarily of student loans guaranteed by
USA  Group, Inc.  Non-accruing loans at June 30, 1996 amounted
to $216,000, as compared to $37,000 at December 31, 1995. Net
charged-off loans amounted to $51,000, for the six months
ending June 30, 1996.


At  June 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995, the Bank had an
allowance for loan losses of $892,000 and $910,000,
respectively.  The percentage of provision for  loan losses to
ending loans amounted to 1.35 percent and 1.51 percent, for
June  30, 1996 and December 31, 1995, respectively. The Bank
provides for  possible  loan losses through regular provisions
to the allowance  for loan  losses.   The  provisions are made
at a  level  which  is  considered necessary by management to
absorb estimated losses in the loan portfolio.

INVESTMENT SECURITIES

Total  investments  at June 30, 1996 were $30.7 million
compared  to  $29.1 million  at  December 31, 1995. The
increase in this category  amounts   to $1.6  million or 5.5
percent  since December 31, 1995.   In 1996 management has
gradually  converted  lower  yielding  federal  fund  sold  to
higher yielding investment securities.




DEPOSITS

Total deposits at June 30, 1996 amounted to $91.6 million in
comparison  to $94.9 million at December 31, 1995, representing
a decrease of $3.2 million or  3.4  percent.  Since  December
31, 1995,  non-interest  bearing  demand deposits decreased by
$1.1 million or 6.2 percent, due principally  to  the run off
of deposits that build up at the end of the calendar year.  In
1996 interest bearing deposits decreased by $2.1 million or 2.7
percent.

OTHER LIABILITIES

Liabilities at June 30, 1996 included $1.3 million of
securities sold under an  agreement to repurchase, a decrease
of $2.6 million since December  31, 1996.   This  decrease  is
due principally to  the  overall  reduction  in deposits  since
1995 year end, including balances held  by  certain  large
customers  of  the Bank. At June 30, 1996, other liabilities
also  include accrued interest payable of  $440,000 and accrued
expense of $526,000.

CAPITAL

Metro's  total capital increased by a net amount of $86,000 or
 .8  percent during  the  first six months of 1996.  Metro's
earnings in the  first  six months of 1996 amounted to
$273,000.  The net unrealized loss on investment securities
available  for  sale amounted to $203,000  at  June  30,  1996,
increasing  by   $19,000  in  1996.   Capital  decreased  by
approximately $168,000 in 1996 following the payment of a cash
dividend in June, 1996.

Tier  1,  or core capital, for Metro and the Bank consists of
shareholders' equity  less the net core deposit intangible and
the non-qualifying portion of  the  deferred  tax  asset plus
the net unrealized  loss  on  investment securities  available
for sale.  Total capital includes Tier 1 capital  and the
qualifying  portion  of the allowance for loan  losses.   The
minimum requirements  for a "well capitalized" classification
are a Leverage  Ratio of  5  percent, which is tier 1 capital
divided by total assets, a  Tier  1 Risk-Based Capital Ratio of
6 percent,  which is Tier 1 capital divided  by total  risk-
adjusted  assets, and a Total Risk-Based Capital  Ratio  of  10
percent,  which  is  total capital divided by total  risk-
adjusted  assets. Under  these  guidelines,  both Metro and the
Bank exceeded the  regulatory minimum ratios.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

NET INCOME

Metro  recognized net income in the amount of $273,000 for  the
six  month period ending June 30,
1996 compared to $302,000 for the same period one year earlier.

Following an announcement made earlier in the second quarter of
1996, Metro paid  a  cash  dividend of ten cents ($.10) per share
of  common  stock  to shareholders of record at May 14, 1996.
The dividend was paid on June  14, 1996  and  amounted to  a
total of $168,129.   The dividend represents  the second cash
dividend paid in the history of the Corporation.

NET INTEREST INCOME

Net  interest income, after provision for loan losses of $33,000,
was  $2.1 million  for six months ending June 30, 1996, compared
to $1.9 million  for the  comparable period of 1995, or an
increase of 10.4 percent compared  to the   same  period  one
year  earlier.    Net  Interest  income  increased principally
due  to  growth  in  loans and investments,  combined  with  a
reduction  in the provision for loan losses for the first two
quarters  of 1996.   The Bank's provision for loan loss expense
was $33,000 at June  30, 1996, compared to $151,000 for the same
period in 1995. The provisions made in  1996  were  at  a  level
considered necessary by management  to  absorb estimated  losses
in the loan portfolio and is based upon an assessment  of the
adequacy  of the Bank's loan loss reserve account.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSE

Non-interest  expense amounted to $1.9 million for six months
ending  June 30,  1996  compared to $1.7 million for the same
period  in  1995,  with  a $199,000  or  11.6  percent increase.
The increase  in  1996  is  primarily attributable  to the
overhead expense incurred in the strategic  deployment of the
Bank's automated teller and loan machines in 1996.
