RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)
- ---------------------------------
LIQUIDITY
- ---------
Liquidity, the measure of the corporation's ability to  meet  the
normal  cash  flow  needs  of  depositors  and  borrowers  in  an
efficient manner, is generated primarily from the acquisition  of
deposit   funds  and  the  maturity  of  loans  and   securities.
Additional liquidity can be provided by the sale of debt investment
securities  available for sale which amounted to  $41,672,022  on
June 30, 1997.

During  the  first  six months of 1997, average  interest-bearing
liabilities increased $16,668,839 over the same period  in  1996.
Investments  maturing within one year were 5.48% of total  assets
on June 30, 1997 and 7.10% on June 30, 1996.

Average  loans  grew  by $16,628,834 and the  average  securities
portfolio including federal funds sold increased $1,188,609.


INTEREST SENSITIVITY
- --------------------
Interest  rate  management seeks to maintain  a  balance  between
consistent  income  growth  and  the  risk  that  is  created  by
variations   in   ability  to  reprice  deposit  and   investment
categories.   The  effort to determine the  effect  of  potential
interest  rate changes normally involves measuring the so  called
"gap"  between  assets  (loans and securities)  subject  to  rate
fluctuation  and liabilities (interest bearing deposits)  subject
to  rate  fluctuation as related to earning assets over different
time  periods  and  calculating the ratio of  interest  sensitive
assets to interest sensitive liabilities.

Repricing  periods  for the loans, securities,  interest  bearing
deposits,  non-interest bearing assets and  non-interest  bearing
liabilities   are   based   on  contractual   maturities,   where
applicable,  as  well as the corporation's historical  experience
regarding  the  impact  of  interest  rate  fluctuations  on  the
prepayment   and  withdrawal  patterns  of  certain  assets   and
liabilities.   Regular  savings, NOW and other  similar  interest
bearing   demand  deposit  accounts  are  subject  to   immediate
withdrawal and therefore are presented as beginning to reprice in
the earliest period presented in the "gap" table.

CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -----------------
Shareholders' equity for the first six months of 1997 averaged $35,955,096
which  represented an increase of $2,426,198 over the average  capital
of  $33,528,898  recorded in the same period of  1996.  These  capital
levels  represented a capital ratio of 12.62% in 1997 and  1996.  When
the  loan  loss  reserve is included, the 1997 capital  ratio  becomes
13.32%.

The Federal Reserve Board's risk-based capital adequacy guidelines are
designed  principally as a measure of credit risk.   These  guidelines
require  that:   (1)  at  least 50% of a banking organization's  total
capital  be  common and certain other "core" equity capital  ("Tier  I
Capital");  (2)  assets and off-balance sheet items must  be  weighted
according  to risk; and (3) the total capital to risk-weighted  assets
ratio be at least 8%; and (4) a minimum 4.00% leverage ratio of Tier I
capital to average total assets.  The minimum leverage ratio is to  be
4-5 percent for all but the most highly rated banks, as determined  by
a  regulatory  rating system.  As of June 30, 1997,  the  corporation,
under these guidelines, had a Tier I and total equity capital to  risk
adjusted assets ratio of 21.22% and 22.33% respectively.  The leverage
ratio was 12.67%.
