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

     Certain statements in this Form 10-Q constitute "forward-looking
statements" as that term is defined under the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995. The words "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "intend,"
"estimate," "plan," "assume" and other similar expressions which are predictions
of or indicate future events and trends and which do not relate to historical
matters identify forward-looking statements. Reliance should not be placed on
forward-looking statements because they involve known and unknown risks,
uncertainties and other factors, which are in some cases beyond the control of
the Corporation and may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of
the Corporation to differ materially from anticipated future results,
performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking
statements.

     Certain factors that might cause such differences include, but are not
limited to, the following: interest rates may increase, adversely affecting the
ability of borrowers to repay adjustable-rate loans and the Corporation's
earnings and income which derive in significant part from loans to borrowers;
unemployment in the Corporation's market area may increase, adversely affecting
the ability of individual borrowers to repay loans; property values may decline,
adversely affecting the ability of borrowers to repay loans and the value of
real estate securing repayment of loans; and general economic and market
conditions in the Corporation's market area may decline, adversely affecting the
ability of borrowers to repay loans, the value of real estate securing repayment
of loans and the Corporation's ability to make profitable loans. Any of the
above may also result in lower interest income, increased loan losses,
additional charge-offs and writedowns and higher operating expenses. The section
entitled "Year 2000" also contains forward-looking statements. Anticipated
expenses or delays in dealing with year-2000 issues by the Corporation, its
suppliers and borrowers could results in material differences between the
forward-looking statements and actual results. These and other factors that
might cause differences between actual and anticipated results, performance and
achievements are discussed in greater detail in this Form 10-Q.

GENERAL

     Warren Bancorp, Inc.'s operating results for the three months ended March
31, 1999 (the "1999 quarter") reflect the operations of its only subsidiary,
Warren Five Cents Savings Bank (the "Bank"). The Bank, which is wholly owned by
the Corporation, operates as a community bank and is in the business of making
individual and commercial loans to customers in its market area.

     The Corporation recorded a decreased profit for the 1999 quarter as
compared to the three months ended March 31, 1998 (the "1998 quarter") primarily
due to decreased spreads due to a highly competitive commercial lending
environment and generally lower interest rates than in the 1998 quarter. When
general interest rates decrease, the yield on the Bank's total assets will
typically decrease more than its cost of funds. This is mainly because certain
sources of funds, namely demand deposits and stockholders' equity, do not bear
interest, and other sources of funds at already low interest rates may not have
their rates reduced at the same rate as the Bank's assets. Further reductions in
general interest rates may reduce the Bank's rate spread and net yield on
average earnings.

     Real estate acquired by foreclosure of $1.5 million remained unchanged at
March 31, 1999 from December 31, 1998. Nonperforming loans decreased by $127,000
to $511,000 during the 1999 quarter. Management continues to monitor these
nonperforming asset portfolios closely. If conditions in the Massachusetts' real
estate market become unstable and values deteriorate, the amount of nonaccrual
loans and real estate acquired through foreclosure would be expected to
increase, resulting in lower interest income and increased loan losses, which
could require additional loan loss provisions to be charged to operating income.
Moreover, real estate acquired through foreclosure may give rise to additional
charge-offs and writedowns and higher expenses for property taxes and other
carrying costs.

     On January 20, 1999, the Board of Directors authorized a new common stock
repurchase program which allows the repurchase of shares up to approximately 5%
of the 7,721,000 shares outstanding on that date. As of May 6, 1999, the
Corporation has repurchased 394,000 shares under its current authorization. The
repurchases, including block repurchases, may be made from time to time in the
open market or in private transactions depending on market conditions and may be
discontinued at any time.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

     On April 23, 1999, the Corporation declared an increase in the quarterly
dividend to 10 cents ($.10) per share from ($.09) per share and a special
dividend of 24 cents ($.24) per share. Both are payable May 17, 1999 to
stockholders of record on May 3, 1999.

     The Corporation also announced that its Board of Directors (the "Board")
adopted a new Shareholder Rights Plan (the "Plan") which replaces its recently
expired Plan. The Plan is designed to enhance the Board's ability to protect
shareholder interests and to ensure that shareholders receive fair treatment in
the event any coercive takeover attempt of the Corporation is made in the
future, and is intended to provide the Board with sufficient time to consider
any and all alternatives to such action. The Plan was not adopted in response to
any takeover attempt, and the Corporation is not aware of any such attempt.

     In connection with the adoption of the Plan, the Board declared a dividend
distribution of one preferred stock purchase right for each outstanding share of
common stock to shareholders of record as of April 22, 1999. Initially, these
rights will not be exercisable and will trade with the shares of The
Corporation's common stock. Under the Plan, the rights generally become
exercisable if a person becomes an "acquiring person" by acquiring 15% or more
of the common stock of the Corporation, if a person who owns 10% or more of the
common stock of the Corporation is determined to be an "adverse person" by the
Board of Directors, or if a person commences a tender offer that would results
in that person owning 15% or more of the common stock of the Corporation. In the
event that a person becomes an "acquiring person" or is declared an "adverse
person" by the Board, each holder of a right (other than the acquiring person or
the adverse person) would be entitled to acquire such number of shares of
preferred stock which are equivalent to the Corporation's common stock having a
value of twice the exercise price of the right. If the Corporation is acquired
in a merger or other business combination transaction after any such event, each
holder of a right would then be entitled to purchase, at the then-current
exercise price, shares of the acquiring company's common stock having a value of
twice the exercise price of the right.

ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT

     A primary objective of the Corporation's asset/liability management policy
is to manage interest-rate risk over time to achieve a prudent level of net
interest income in changing interest-rate environments. Management's strategies
are intended to be responsive to changes in interest rates and to recognize
market demands for particular types of deposit and loan products. These
strategies are overseen by an internal Asset/Liability Management Committee and
by the Bank's Board of Directors and the risks are managed with techniques such
as simulation analysis, which measures the effect on net interest income of
possible changes in interest rates, and "gap" analysis, using models similar to
the one shown on the following page.

     The Corporation uses simulation analysis to measure exposure of net
interest income to changes in interest rates over a one-year period. This period
is measured because the Corporation is most vulnerable to changes in short-term
(one year and under) rates. Simulation analysis involves projecting future
interest income and expense under various rate scenarios. The Corporation's
policy on interest-rate risk specifies that if short-term interest rates were to
shift immediately up or down 100 basis points, estimated net interest income for
the next 12 months should decline by less than 13%. This policy remained in
effect during the quarter, and in management's opinion there were no material
changes in interest rate risk since December 31, 1998, the date as of which the
simulation analysis was performed. Certain shortcomings are inherent in a
simulation analysis. Estimates of customer behavior to changing interest rates
may differ significantly from actual. Areas of these estimates include loan
prepayment speeds, shifting between adjustable-rate and fixed-rate loans, and
activity within different categories of deposit products. Also, the ability of
some borrowers to repay their adjustable-rate loans may decrease in the event of
interest-rate increases.

     The following table summarizes the Corporation's interest-rate sensitivity
position as of March 31, 1999. Assets and liabilities are classified as
interest-rate sensitive if they have a remaining term to maturity of 0-12
months, or are subject to interest-rate adjustments within those time periods.
Adjustable-rate loans and mortgage-backed securities are shown as if the entire
balance came due on the repricing date. Nonaccruing loans are not included in
this analysis due to their status as non-earning assets. Estimates of fixed-rate
loan and fixed-rate mortgage-backed security amortization and prepayments are
included with rate sensitive assets. The following types of deposit accounts are
assumed to have effective maturities as follows based on their past retention
characteristics: NOW accounts-up to five years; cash manager and passbook plus
accounts-up to six months; and regular savings accounts-up to greater than five
years. None of these assets is considered a trading asset.

     Interest-rate sensitivity statistics are static measures that do not
necessarily take into consideration external factors which might affect the
sensitivity of assets and liabilities and consequently cannot be used alone to
predict the operating results of a financial institution in a changing
environment. However, these measurements do reflect major trends and thus the
Corporation's sensitivity to interest rates changes over time.

LIQUIDITY

     The Bank seeks to ensure sufficient liquidity is available to meet cash
requirements while earning a return on liquid assets. The Bank uses its
liquidity primarily to fund loan and investment commitments, to supplement
deposit flows and to meet operating expenses. The primary sources of liquidity
are interest and amortization from loans, mortgage-backed securities and
investments, sales and maturities of investments, loan sales, deposits and
Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston ("FHLBB") advances, which include a $15 million
overnight line of credit. The Bank also has access to the Federal Reserve Bank's
discount window and may borrow from the Depositors Insurance Fund Liquidity
Fund. During the 1999 quarter, the Bank did not use the Federal Reserve Bank
discount window and did not borrow from the Depositors Insurance Fund Liquidity
Fund.

     The Bank also uses the longer term borrowings facilities within its total
available credit line with the FHLBB. Advances from the FHLBB, none of which
were from the overnight facility, were $2,671,000 at March 31, 1999.

     During 1999, the primary sources of liquidity were $6.2 million in loan
sales, proceeds from maturities of investment securities of $9.0 million and
proceeds from paydowns of mortgage-backed securities of $2.4 million. Primary
uses of funds were $27.1 million in residential, commercial real estate and
commercial loan originations and $8.3 million to purchase investment securities.
At March 31, 1999, the Bank had $6.1 million in overnight investments.

     The primary source of liquidity for the Corporation is dividends from the
Bank. Dividends paid and stock repurchases by the Corporation are the primary
use of this liquidity.

     From time to time, the Bank has obtained time deposits in denominations of
$100,000 and over. The following table summarizes maturities of time deposits of
$100,000 or more outstanding at March 31, 1999:

CAPITAL ADEQUACY

     Total stockholders' equity at March 31, 1999 was $36.9 million, a decrease
of $3.0 million from $39.9 million at December 31, 1998. Included in
stockholders' equity at March 31, 1999 is an unrealized gain on securities
available for sale, which increased stockholders' equity, of $761,000 as
compared to an unrealized gain at December 31, 1998 of $799,000. Future
interest-rate increases could reduce the fair value of these securities and
reduce stockholders' equity. As a percentage of total assets, stockholders'
equity was 9.46% at March 31, 1999 compared to 10.05% at December 31, 1998.

     At March 31, 1999, neither the Federal Reserve Board ("FRB") nor the FDIC
permitted the unrealized gain or loss to be used in their calculation of Tier I
capital.

     The FRB's leverage capital-to-assets guidelines require the strongest and
most highly rated bank holding companies to maintain at least a 3.00% ratio of
Tier I capital to average consolidated assets. All other bank holding companies
are required to maintain at least 4.00% to 5.00%, depending on how the FRB


                                       5
<PAGE>   11


evaluates their condition. The FRB may require a higher capital ratio. At March
31, 1999, the FRB leverage capital ratio was 9.46% compared to 10.10% at
December 31, 1998.

     The FDIC's leverage capital-to-assets ratio guidelines are substantially
similar to those adopted by the FRB and described above. At March 31, 1999, the
Bank's leverage capital ratio, under FDIC guidelines, was 8.72% compared to
9.20% at December 31, 1998.

     The FRB and the FDIC have also imposed risk-based capital requirements on
the Corporation and the Bank, respectively, which give different risk weightings
to assets and to off-balance sheet assets such as loan commitments and loans
sold with recourse. Both the FRB and FDIC guidelines require the Corporation and
the Bank to have an 8.00% risk-based capital ratio. The Corporation's and the
Bank's risk-based capital ratios were 11.99% and 11.33%, respectively, at March
31, 1999 compared to 12.71% and 11.68% at December 31, 1998, thus exceeding
their risk-based capital requirements.

     As of March 31, 1999, the Bank's total risk-based capital ratio, Tier I
risk-based capital ratio and leverage capital ratio were 11.33%, 10.10%, and
8.72%, respectively. Based on these capital ratios, the Bank is considered to be
"well capitalized."

YEAR 2000

     The statements in the following section are "Year-2000 readiness
disclosure" within the meaning of the Year 2000 Information and Readiness
Disclosure Act of 1998.

     The year-2000 issue is the result of systems run by computer (personal
computers, telephone systems, electric utilities, etc.) being date sensitive.
Older computer hardware and associated software applications are based on
two-digit years which will either recognize the year 2000 as 1900 or not at all.
To remedy this situation these date-sensitive systems must be reprogrammed or
replaced to recognize the year 2000.

     The Corporation has developed comprehensive plans to evaluate, test, and
ensure that its computer systems and key service providers are year-2000
compliant and is on schedule to meet the timetable established to complete this
effort.

     As part of the Corporation's contract with its outside data processing
service provider, the data service provider will ensure year-2000 compliance of
the core banking systems that it provides to the Corporation. All costs related
to this aspect of the year-2000 effort are the responsibility of the provider.
The provider, which services over 600 banks in the United States, has completed
remediation efforts and testing is well underway on its information systems and
is scheduled to be completed by May 31, 1999. The first phase of testing began
in November, 1998 with two separate teams made up of the Corporation's employees
inputting and validating data. Another testing phase began in February, 1999. To
date, the provider is on schedule and testing by the Corporation's employees has
produced satisfactory results.

     Test plans for systems not provided by the data service provider are
ongoing. As these systems are identified, test scripts are developed on an
individual basis. The testing phase began on October 16, 1998 and will continue
through May 31, 1999 on these systems.

     Included in its 1998 business plan, the Corporation upgraded all of its
personal computers and associated software, all of which were year-2000
certified upon purchase. This upgrade is substantially completed with a small
number of units to be installed on or before June 30, 1999. The Corporation has
contacted its commercial borrowers by personal contact and questionnaires to
monitor their preparedness and has also notified deposit customers by mail of
the Corporation's year-2000 efforts. Additional customer contact will take place
in 1999 that will include direct mailing, a web page and a dedicated telephone
line specifically for year-2000 issues. A list of significant third party
vendors (telephone systems, electric utilities, security systems, etc.) has been
developed and monitoring of their year-2000 preparedness is in process. A
contingency plan is in the process of being developed in the event that the
Corporation's third party vendors do not remediate their own year-2000 issues
and is scheduled to be completed by June 30, 1999. At the present time the
Corporation has not received any indication from its vendors that they will not
be year-2000 compliant. The ability of third parties, including the
Corporation's borrowers, with whom the Corporation transacts business to
adequately address their year-2000 issues is outside of the Corporation's
control. Due to this uncertainty, the failure of such third parties of the
Corporation to adequately address their own year-


                                       6
<PAGE>   12


2000 issues could have a material adverse effect on the Corporation's financial
condition and results of operations. These adverse effects could be the result
of but not limited to borrowers failing to repay loans, loss of business
opportunities due to a failure to properly transact business and loss of
customers to competition due to customer-service failure. This uncertainty
cannot be quantified at this time.

     The Corporation has updated hardware and its associated software as part of
its normal ongoing operations, and the hardware and software upgrades were a
necessary result of that plan and have not been accelerated due to the year-2000
issue. The use of internal resources for the year-2000 effort has not delayed
normal workflow or other projects from being completed. Management estimates
that out-of-pocket costs related to year-2000 issues will be less than $50,000.
These costs will not be material to the financial condition or results of
operations of the Corporation.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

     The Corporation's total assets decreased to $390.5 million at March 31,
1999 from $397.1 million at December 31, 1998. Decreases occurred in residential
mortgage, commercial real estate and commercial loans and investments available
for sale.

INVESTMENTS AND MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES

     Investments, consisting of investment securities and mortgage-backed
securities available for sale, and other investments, decreased to $106.5
million at March 31, 1999 from $109.8 million at December 31, 1998. A majority
of this decrease was from the maturity of corporate notes. Mortgage-backed
securities decreased to $17.9 million at March 31, 1999 from $20.4 million at
December 31, 1998 due to principal paydowns. Future increases in interest rates
could reduce the value of these investments.

     Loans and loans held for sale decreased by $2.8 million during the 1999
quarter to $264.9 million at March 31, 1999. This decrease is the result of
decreases in residential mortgage, commercial real estate and commercial loans.
Due to the decline in interest rates, the adjustable-rate residential loan
portfolio has decreased significantly due to refinancing into fixed-rate loans.
Commercial real estate loans decreased during the 1999 quarter due mainly to
large prepayments. These decreases were partially offset by increases in
commercial and commercial construction loans. Commercial real estate, commercial
construction and commercial loans typically earn higher yields than residential
mortgage loans, but usually carry higher risk due to loan size.

     The following table sets forth the classification of the Corporation's
loans as of March 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998 (in thousands):

</TABLE>

     Residential mortgage loan originations during the 1999 quarter were $8.5
million compared to $9.7 million in the 1998 quarter. The Corporation originated
$6.1 million in fixed-rate loans during the 1999 quarter compared to $8.2
million during the 1998 quarter. Adjustable-rate loans totaling $2.4 million
were originated during the 1999 quarter compared to $1.5 million during the 1998
quarter. The Corporation sold loans totaling $6.2 million during the 1999
quarter compared to $8.6 million sold in the 1998 quarter. At March 31, 1999,
the Corporation held $1.2 million of fixed-rate residential mortgage loans for
sale compared to $1.2 million at December 31, 1998.

CREDIT QUALITY

IMPAIRED AND NONPERFORMING LOANS

     Loans are deemed by the Corporation to be impaired when, based on current
information and events, it is probable that the Corporation will be unable to
collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the original loan
agreement. Generally, nonaccruing loans are deemed impaired. Large groups of
homogeneous loans, such as smaller balance residential mortgage and consumer
installment loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Typically, the
minimum delay in receiving payments according to the contractual terms of the
loan that can occur before a loan is considered impaired is ninety days.
Impaired loans are analyzed and categorized by level of credit risk and
collectibility in order to determine their related allowance for loan losses. At
March 31, 1999 there were four loans considered impaired and accruing totaling
$1,041,000 compared to four loans considered impaired and accruing totaling
$710,000 at December 31, 1998.

     Loans past due 90 days or more, or past due less than 90 days but in
nonaccrual status were $511,000 at March 31, 1999 compared to $638,000 at
December 31, 1998. Included in nonperforming loans is one loan considered
impaired and nonaccruing in the amount of $329,000 at March 31, 1999. There were
no loans considered impaired and nonaccruing at December 31, 1998. Accrual of
interest on loans is discontinued either when a reasonable doubt exists as to
that the full, timely collection of principal or interest or when the loans
become contractually past due by ninety days or more, unless they are adequately
secured and are in the process of collection.

     When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, all interest previously accrued
but not collected is reversed against current period interest income. Income on
such loans is recognized to the extent that cash is received and where the
ultimate collection of principal and interest is probable. Following collection
procedures, the Corporation generally institutes appropriate action to foreclose
the property or acquire it by deed in lieu of foreclosure.

REAL ESTATE ACQUIRED BY FORECLOSURE

     Real estate acquired by foreclosure totaled $1.5 million at March 31, 1999
and December 31, 1998. Real estate acquired by foreclosure is reflected at the
lower of the carrying value of the loans or the net carrying value of the
property less estimated cost of disposition. These properties consist mainly of
land. If conditions become unstable in the Massachusetts real estate market,
losses and writedowns could occur as the Corporation reduces the book value of
real estate to reflect likely realizable values.

     In summary, nonperforming assets are as follows (in thousands):

</TABLE>

     Notwithstanding the foregoing allocations, the entire allowance for loan
losses is available to absorb charge-offs in any category of loans. Loan losses
are charged against the allowance when management believes that the
collectibility of the loan principal is doubtful.

     Balances in the allowance for loan losses are determined on a periodic
basis by management and the Loan Committee of the Board of Directors with
assistance from an independent credit review consulting firm. Loan loss
allocations are based on the conditions of each loan, whether performing or
non-performing, including collectibility, collateral adequacy and the general
condition of the borrowers, economic conditions, delinquency statistics, market
area activity, the risk factors associated with each of the various loan
categories and the borrower's adherence to the original terms of the loan.
Individual loans, including loans considered impaired, are analyzed and
categorized by level of credit risk and collectibility. In determining the
allowance, management uses specific estimated losses on certain problem loans,
loss factors determined for each category of credit risk using historical
charge-off statistics and factors that consider economic condition and trends.
The associated provision for loan losses is the amount required to bring the
allowance for loan losses to the balance considered necessary by management at
the end of the period after accounting for the effect of loan charge-offs (which
decrease the allowance) and loan-loss recoveries (which increase the allowance).
The allowance for loan losses included above attributable to $1.4 million of
impaired loans, of which $1,042,000 is measured using the present value method
and $329,000 using the fair value method, is $212,000.

<PAGE>   16


     The required allowance for loan losses could increase in future periods if
the condition of the loan portfolio deteriorates or if the balance of the
portfolio increases. Such an increase in the allowance could require additional
provisions for loan losses to be charged to income.

LEGAL AND OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISKS

     Various legal claims arise from time to time in the course of business of
the Corporation and its subsidiaries. At March 31, 1999, there were no legal
claims against the Corporation or its subsidiaries.

     The Corporation is party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet
risk in the normal course of business to meet the financial needs of its
customers and to reduce its own exposure to fluctuations of interest rates.
These financial instruments include commitments to originate loans, unused lines
of credit, standby letters of credit, recourse arrangements on sold assets and
forward commitments to sell loans. The financial instruments involve, to varying
degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount
recognized in the consolidated balance sheets.

OTHER ASSETS

     Included in other assets at March 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998 are $1.5
million and $1.4 million, respectively, of deferred income taxes receivable.
Also included in other assets at December 31, 1998 was a current income tax
receivable of $139,000.

LIABILITIES

     Deposits decreased to $343.8 million at March 31, 1999 from $347.0 million
at December 31, 1998. This decrease took place primarily in NOW and time
deposits and was partially offset by increases in savings and money market
deposit accounts.

     Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston advances were $2,671,000 at March 31, 1999
and December 31, 1998. Securities sold under agreement to repurchase were $3.8
million at March 31, 1999 and $5.0 million at December 31, 1998.

BUSINESS SEGMENTS

     For internal reporting, planning and business purposes, the Corporation
segments its operations into distinct business groups. An individual business
group's profit contribution to the Corporation as a whole is determined based
upon the Corporation's profitability reporting system which assigns capital and
other balance sheet items and income statement items to each of the business
groups. This segmentation mirrors the Corporation's organizational structure.
Management accounting policies are in place for assigning revenues and expenses
that are not directly incurred by the business groups, such as overhead, the
results of asset allocations, and transfer revenues and expenses. Accordingly,
the Corporation's business-segment operating results will differ with other
similar information published by other financial institutions. In addition,
management accounting concepts are periodically refined and results may change
to reflect these refinements.

     The Corporation follows the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards ("SFAS") No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and
Related Information," which establishes standards for reporting operating
segments of a business enterprise. The new rules establish revised standards for
public companies relating to the reporting of financial and descriptive
information about their operating segments in financial statements. Operating
segments are components of an enterprise which are evaluated regularly by the
chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in
assessing performance. The Corporation's chief operating decision maker is the
President and Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation. The adoption of SFAS
No. 131 had no effect on the Corporation's primary financial statements, but did
result in the disclosure of segment information contained herein.

     The Corporation has identified its reportable operating business segments
as the Corporate Banking Business and the Personal Banking Business. A
description of each reportable business segment is discussed below:

     CORPORATE BANKING

     The Corporate Banking Business provides services to business customers in
the Corporation's market area. These services include, but are not limited to,
commercial real estate and construction loans, asset-based financing and cash
management/deposit services. It services all loans in its business.

     PERSONAL BANKING

     The Personal Banking Group provides services to consumers in the
Corporation's market area through its branch and ATM network. These services
include, but are not limited to, home equity loans, installment loans, safe
deposit boxes and an array of deposit services. This business purchases
adjustable-rate mortgage loans from another business group and services all
loans in its business.

     Non-reportable operating segments of the Corporation's operations that do
not meet the qualitative and quantitative thresholds requiring disclosure are
included in the Other category in the disclosure of business segments below.
Revenues in these segments consist mainly of interest income on investments and
gains on sales of mortgage loans and securities.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1999 COMPARED TO
THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998

GENERAL

     The Corporation recorded a profit for the 1999 quarter of $1.3 million
compared to a profit for the 1998 quarter of $1.5 million. The decrease in the
1999 quarter profit is primarily due to decreased spreads due to a highly
competitive commercial lending environment and generally lower interest rates as
compared to the 1998 quarter. Income before taxes was $2.0 million in the 1999
quarter compared to $2.2 million in the 1998 quarter.

     Net interest income for the 1999 and 1998 quarters was $4.2 million and
$4.3 million, respectively. The weighted average interest rate spread for the
1999 quarter was 4.22% compared to 4.73% for the 1998 quarter. The net yield on
average earning assets was 4.46% for the 1999 quarter and 4.90% for the 1998
quarter. The return on average assets and the return on average stockholders'
equity were 1.34% and 13.72%, respectively, for the 1999 quarter compared to
1.60% and 14.62%, respectively, for the 1998 quarter.

INTEREST AND DIVIDEND INCOME

     Total interest and dividend income decreased to $7.1 million for the 1999
quarter from $7.2 million for the 1998 quarter. Interest on loans remained $5.5
million for the 1999 and the 1998 quarters, respectively. The average loan yield
decreased to 8.38% for the 1999 quarter from 9.20% for the 1998 quarter and
average loans outstanding increase during the 1999 quarter as compared to the
1998 quarter. Interest and dividends on investments was $1.3 and $1.2 million
for the 1999 and 1998 quarters, respectively. This increase is attributed to an
increase in the average amount of investments held despite a decrease in the
average yield on investments to 5.67% for the 1999 quarter from 6.10% for the
1998 quarter. Mortgage-backed securities income decreased to $327,000 in the
1999 quarter from $512,000 in the 1998 quarter primarily due to a decrease in
the average amount of mortgage-backed securities held due to paydowns and a
decrease in the average yield to 6.89% for the 1999 quarter compared to 7.14% in
the 1998 quarter.

INTEREST EXPENSE

     Interest on deposits remained $2.9 million for the 1999 and 1998 quarters,
respectively. The average cost of deposits decreased to 3.41% for the 1999
quarter from 3.59% for the 1998 quarter. Interest on borrowed funds and escrow
deposits of borrowers increased to $74,000 from $30,000 for the 1999 and 1998
quarters, respectively. This increase is primarily related to an increase in
borrowed funds. The average cost of borrowings was 3.69% for the 1999 quarter
and 2.93% for the 1998 quarter.

NON-INTEREST INCOME

     Total non-interest income for the 1999 quarter was $285,000 compared to
$255,000 for the 1998 quarter. The gain from the sale of mortgage loans was
$71,000 in the 1999 quarter compared to $52,000 in the 1998 quarter. There were
no sales of investment securities in the 1999 quarter. The gain from the sale of
investment securities was $9,000 for the 1998 quarter.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSE

     Total non-interest expense remained $2.4 million in the 1998 and 1997
quarters, respectively. Salary and employee benefits increased to $1.5 million
in the 1999 quarter from $1.4 million in the 1998 quarter. There was no real
estate operations expense in the 1999 quarter compared to $25,000 in the 1998
quarter.

  INCOME TAX EXPENSE

     Income tax expense for the 1999 quarter decreased to $720,000 from $765,000
for the 1998 quarter due to lower pretax income.
