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


The following is management's discussion and analysis of certain significant
factors which have affected the Company's financial position and operating
results during the periods included in the accompanying consolidated
financial statements.   

Financial Condition    

As of June 30, 1997,  the Company experienced an increase in total assets
of 3.63%, as compared to December 31, 1996.  The increase was  primarily
the result of increased loan growth of $3.7 million or 7.34%. The increase
was funded by a growth in deposits  of $2.6
million or 3.52%.
    
Liquidity    

As of June 30, 1997, the liquidity ratio was 35.66%, which management
considers to be adequate to meet the Company's funding needs.  Liquidity is
measured by the ratio of net cash, short-term and marketable securities to
net deposits and short-term liabilities.  

Capital    

Banking regulations require the banks and bank holding companies to maintain
minimum capital ratios to assets.  At June 30, 1997, the Company's capital
ratios on a combined basis exceeded
the required ratios as follows:    

                                             Regulatory          
                                       Actual         Requirement   

      Leverage capital ratio            9.62%               4.00% 
      Risk based capital ratios:                                  
      Core capital                     14.56%               4.00%      
          Total capital                15.81%               8.00%

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

Results of Operations   

Net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 1997 increased 15.68%
to $1,899,000 over the $1,642,000 for the same period in 1996.  Interest
income for the six month period increased $309,000 or 9.52%, while interest
expense increased $52,000 or 3.22%.  Net interest income for the three month
period ended June 30, 1997 increased $130,000 or 15.38% compared 
to the three month period ended June 30, 1996.  Interest income for the
three month period increased $172,000 or 10.38% and interest expense
increased $42,000 or 5.14% compared to      
the same period in 1996.  The increase in interest income and expense is
primarily due to the increase in the average balance of loans and interest
bearing deposits.

The provision for loan losses remained the same during the six months ended
June 30,1997 as compared to the same period in 1996.  The loan loss reserve
as a percentage of total loans                    
increasesd from 1.38% at December 31, 1996 to 1.39% at June 30,1997.  Based
on management's assessment of the economic environment and prior charge-off
and collection history, the reserve for loan losses is considered adequate
to meet future losses inherent in the portfolio.    

Total other income increased $70,000 during the six month period ended
June 30, 1997, as compared to 1996.  The most significant changes occurred
in NSF  fees and service charges which increased $57,000 and $14,000,
respectively,  compared to the same period in 1996.  The increase  
in NSF fees is primarily due to procedures implemented by the Bank to
reduce the number of reversals of NSF charges.  The change in service
charges is due to a new charge on return items as well as an 
increase in charges on business checking accounts.

Other operating expenses increased 10.58% or $117,000.  The increase is
primarily attributable to an increase  of $72,000 in salary and employee
benefits.  The increase in salaries was the result of  
increases in staff in connection with the Bank's growth.  No other changes
in other operating expense were material.  

Net income increased for the six month period ended June 30, 1997 by
$154,000 as compared to the same period in 1996.  The subsidiary bank
continues to experience growth, which has 
enabled the Company to increase earnings.  This trend is expected to
continue. 

Income tax expense increased by $56,000 for the six months ended
June 30, 1997 as compared to the six month period ended June 30, 1996.
The effective tax rate decreased to 30% as compared  
to 31% for the same period in 1996.
