                NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS                     
                              (UNAUDITED)                                       


Note 1.   Basis of Presentation                         

          The financial information included herein is unaudited; however,
          such information reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of
          normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of
          management, necessary for a fair statement of results for the 
          interim periods.                                                   

          The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1997
          are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for
          the full year.                         

Note 2.   Current Accounting Developments                           

          The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued SFAS NO. 128,
          "Earnings Per Share".  SFAS No. 128 establishes standards for
          computing and presenting earnings per share (EPS) and applies to
          entities with publicly held common stock or potential common stock.
          This Statement simplifies the standards for computing      
          earnings per share previously found in APB Opinion No. 15, Earnings
          per Share, and makes them comparable to international EPS standards.
          It replaces the presentation of primary EPS with a presentation of
          basic EPS.  It also requires dual presentation of basic and diluted
          EPS on the face of the income statement for all entities with
          comples capital structures and requires a reconciliation of the
          numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation to the
          numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS computation.  The
          effective date of this statement is for financial statements issued
          for periods ending after December 15, 1997.  The adoption of this
          Statement is not expected to have a material effect on earnings
          per share.

            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 March 31, 1997, the Company experienced a decrease in total assets of
$1,140,000 or 1.4%, as compared to December 31, 1996.  Total loans increased
$1,017,000 during this period or approximately 2.0% while cash and due
from banks and Federal funds sold decreased $1,458,000 or approximately 20.2%.
Deposits decreased $1,207,000 or 1.6% during this period.                   


Liquidity     
                                                                  
As of March 31, 1997, the liquidity rate was 35.6% 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 holding companies to maintain minimum
capital ratios to assets. At March 31, 1997, the Bank's capital ratios
exceeded the required ratios as follows:                      

                                                                 Regulatory    
                                                  Actual         Requirement    

 Leverage capital ratio                             9.51%           4.00%
 Risk based capital ratios:                                      
 Core capital                                      14.41%           4.00%     
          Total capital                            15.67%           8.00%

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

Results of Operations                         
                                                                  
Net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 1997 increased 16%
to $922,000 over the $795,000 for the same period in 1996.  Interest income
for the three month period increased 137,000 or 8.62%, while interest expense
increased $10,000 or 1.26%.  The increase in interest income is primarily due
to the increase in the average balance of loans and taxable securities   
during the first quarter of 1997 as compared to the first quarter of 1996. 

The provision for loan losses remained the same ($30,000) for the three
months ended March 31, 1997 as compared to the same period in 1996.  The
loan loss reserve as a percentage of total loans increased from 1.38% at
December 31, 1996 to 1.41% at March 31, 1997.  This increase            
was due to slower loan growth and minimal net charge-offs during the first
quarter of 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 $29,000 during the three month period ended
March 31, 1997, as compared to 1996 primarily as a result of increased service
charges on deposit accounts.                                         

Total other expenses increased $38,000 or 6.9% for the period ended
March 31, 1997 as compared to the same period in 1996.  The increase is
primarily attributable to an increase of $37,000 in salary and employee
benefits.  Other operating expenses have remained stable for the first
quarter of 1997 as compared to the first quarter of 1996.                  

Income tax expense increased by $23,000 for the three month period ended
March 31, 1997 as compared to the same period in 1996.  The effective tax
rate decreased to 28% as compared to 31% the same period.                    

Net income increased for the three month period ended March 31, 1997 by
$95,000 as compared to the same period in 1996.  This increase is due
primarily due to increases in average interest-earning assets resulting
