NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

MARCH 31, 1996

NOTE A -- BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and 
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete 
financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting
of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have
been included.  Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 1996 are
not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year 
ending December 31, 1996.  For further information, refer to the consolidated 
financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual 
report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995.


NOTE B -- EARNINGS PER SHARE

Earnings per common share is calculated by dividing net income by the average
number of common shares outstanding during the period.  Average shares
outstanding for 1995 and calculation of income per share is restated to reflect
a 6% stock dividend paid on April 29, 1995.

<PAGE>
PART I

ITEM 2.  Management's discussion and analysis of financial
         conditions and results of operations.

EARNINGS SUMMARY

Net income for the three months ended March 31, 1996 totalled $219,000, as
compared with $170,000 for the first three months of 1995.  This increase 
represents a 28.8% increase.  On a per share basis, net income equalled .24 
cents for 1996 compared to .19 cents for 1995.  Total interest for the first 
three months of 1996 increased to $1,847,000, a $270,000 increase or 17.12% over
the first three months of 1995. 

NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income was $855,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1996, an 
increase of 8.8% over the comparable period in 1995.

Total interest income was $1,847,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1996
representing a 17.1% increase from the comparable period in 1995. 

Interest expense of $992,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 represents a
25.4% increase from the comparable period in 1995. 

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

The provision for loan losses was $30,000 for the first quarter of 1996 as 
compared to $23,000 in the first quarter of 1995.  At March 31, 1996, Bank of 
the Commonwealth had a total allowance for loan losses of $1,274,000 or 2% of 
total loans, compared with $1,256,000 or 2.1% of total loans at December 31, 
1995.

OTHER INCOME

Other income for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 was $202,000, an increase of
$37,000 from the $165,000 reported for the three months ended March 31, 1995.

<PAGE>
OTHER EXPENSES

Other expenses increased by 2.4% to $717,000 from $700,000, for the quarter 
ended March 31, 1996 as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 1995 which is
attributable to normal increases in operating expenses reflecting normal cost
increases.


INTEREST SENSITIVITY AND LIQUIDITY

Management attempts to match rate sensitive assets to rate sensitive 
liabilities, by planning and controlling the mix and maturities of these assets
and liabilities.  The purpose of this asset/liability management is to create 
and maintain a proper relationship between rate sensitive assets and liabilities
and also to provide adequate liquidity.

Liquidity is the ability to meet customers' demand for funds.  These 
requirements are met by the sale or maturity of existing assets, loan payments 
and increases in deposits.


NONPERFORMING ASSETS

The Bank's nonperforming assets consisted of the following:

                                    March 31, 1996     March 31, 1995           

     Loans past due 90 days or
     more and still accruing           $    35,000         $  198,000

     Nonaccrual loans                    1,494,000          1,655,000

     Other real estate owned             3,521,000          3,467,000
                                        ----------         ----------     
     Total nonperforming                $5,050,000         $5,320,000

<PAGE>
Of the $3,521,000 in Other Real Estate Owned as of March 31, 1996, $2,000,000 or
56.8% is represented by 2712 North Mall Drive.  The property is fully leased 
with an annual income to the Bank of $160,311.  This does not include rental 
income for the 16% of the building occupied by Bank of the Commonwealth as a 
branch.


CAPITAL POSITION

Shareholders' Equity for the Corporation increased to $8,956,000 from $8,771,000
or 2.1% from December 31, 1995 to March 31, 1996.  Shareholders' Equity for 
March 31, 1996 reflects a $25,000 unrealized loss on securities available for 
sale in accordance with FASB115, as compared to a $8,000 gain as of December 31,
1995.

Bank Holding Companies are required to meet a 7.25% risk-based capital standard.
The Corporations's risk based capital was 14.6% as of March 31, 1996.


STOCK DIVIDEND

The Board of Directors, at their March 1996 meeting voted to declare a six 
percent stock dividend payable on the Company's common shares for stockholders 
of record as of March 31, 1996, on April 30, 1996.  Fractional shares will be 
paid in cash, based on the book value of a whole share at December 31, 1995 of 
$9.82.


SUMMARY

As of March 31, 1996 60.2% of the Bank's loan portfolio consists of commercial 
loans which are considered to provide higher yields and also generally carry a 
greater risk.  It should be noted that 73.9% of these commercial loans are 
collateralized with real estate, and accordingly do not represent an unfavorable
risk.  At March 31, 1996, 74.2% of the Bank's total loan portfolio consists of 
loans collateralized with real estate.

The Bank's commitment is to maintain the Corporation's strengths in the markets
it serves during difficult economic cycles, and to act resourcefully when 
confronted with new challenges.
