NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

MARCH 31, 2000

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, 2000 are
not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
ending December 31, 2000.  For further information, refer to the consolidated
financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual
report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1999.


NOTE B -- EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per common share is calculated by dividing net income by the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted
earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average of
common and potential dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the
period.  Average shares outstanding for 1999 and calculation of income per share
is restated to reflect a 50% stock dividend paid on May 27, 1999.

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, 2000		December 31,1999

SUMMARY

As of March 31, 2000, 72.9% 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 74.6% of these commercial loans are
collateralized with real estate, and accordingly do not represent an unfavorable
risk.  At March 31, 2000, 74.0% 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.
