ITEM   2.  MANAGEMENT'S  DISCUSSION  AND  ANALYSIS  OF  FINANCIAL
                 CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

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
$117,594,879 on June 30, 1999.

During  the  first  six months of 1999, average  interest-bearing
liabilities  increased $6,991,915 over the same period  in  1998.
Investments  maturing within one year were 4.79% of total  assets
on June 30, 1999 and 3.35% on June 30, 1998.

Average  loans  grew  by  $5,903,574 and the  average  securities
portfolio including federal funds sold increased $7,750,195.


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.

CREDIT QUALITY RISK
- -------------------
The following table presents a comparison of loan performance as of June 30,
1999 with that of June 30, 1998. Non-accrual loans are those for which
interest income is recorded only when received and past due loans  are
those  which are contractually past due 90 days or more in respect  to
interest  or  principal payments.  As of June 30, 1999 the corporation
had no other real estate owned and no in-substance foreclosures.

                                                            At June 30,

CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -----------------
Shareholders' equity for the first six months of 1999 averaged $43,431,388
which  represented an increase of $4,151,652 over the average  capital
of  $39,279,736  recorded in the same period of  1998.  These  capital
levels  represented a capital ratio of 13.12% in  1999  and  12.46  in
1998.  When the loan loss reserve is included, the 1999 capital  ratio
becomes 13.70%.

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, 1999,  the  corporation,
under these guidelines, had a Tier I and total equity capital to  risk
adjusted  assets ratio of 22.02% and 22.99% respectively. The leverage
ratio was 12.82%.

YEAR 2000
- ---------
In  1997,  the  corporation's year  2000  committee  was
formed  and  began an analysis of year 2000 issues  that
may  affect  the day to day business operations  of  the
corporation  and the bank. The year 2000  issue  is  the
result  of  computer programs being  written  using  two
digits  rather than four to define the applicable  year.
Any  systems  that  have  time  sensitive  software  may
recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than
2000  and, in turn, may result in miscalculations and/or
system failures.

The  corporation has completed the assessment phase  and
testing  of  all software regarding the year 2000  issue
confirmed that we are well prepared for the century date
rollover.  The  corporation is primarily dependent  upon
systems  that have been developed by third parties  and,
therefore, is dependent upon vendor compliance.

The  corporation has developed contingency plans for all
mission  critical systems. These plans involve automated
as  well  as  manual actions and may require  additional
staffing requirements and will detail procedures  to  be
followed in the unlikely event of any disruptions.

Based  on  our  assessment of the  vendors  and  testing
currently  being  done,  the corporation  estimates  the
costs  associated  with addressing  the  issue  will  be
approximately  $500,000  with items  being  expensed  as
incurred  or  capitalized, whenever  appropriate.  These
costs  or any additional costs associated with the  year
2000 issue are not expected to have a material impact on
the  corporation's financial position.  The  corporation
has  and will continue to devote the necessary time  and
resources  to resolve the year 2000 issue  in  a  timely
manner.

The  corporation continues to evaluate the effect of the
year 2000 issue on its commercial customers. Failure  of
a  commercial  customer to prepare for year  2000  could
adversely affect the customer's operations and, in turn,
affect  the corporation's ability to collect outstanding
loans  and  retain  deposit  balances.  The  corporation
mailed   questionnaires  to  its  commercial   customers
regarding the potential effect that year 2000 could have
on  their  businesses.  Those customers  deemed  mission
critical by senior management will be placed on  a  year
2000  watch  list and will be contacted  on  an  ongoing
basis regarding their 2000 readiness.
