Balance at end of period                          $242,977       $231,879


NOTE 7- INCOME TAXES:

The Company files a consolidated federal income tax return.  The provision for
income taxes is based on income as recorded in the consolidated financial
statements.  This provision differs from amounts currently payable because of
temporary differences in the recognition of certain income and expense items for
financial and tax purposes.  The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance
with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109 "Accounting for
Income Taxes".  SFAS 109 requires that a deferred tax liability or asset be
adjusted for the effect of changes in tax laws or rates in the period of
enactment.











NOTE 8 - EARNINGS PER SHARE:

Earnings per share is determined by dividing income for the period by the
weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares.  Stock options
are regarded as common stock equivalents, whereas ESOP shares not committed to
be released are not considered outstanding for purposes of calculating earnings
per share.  The weighted average number of shares used in the computation of
earnings per share was  255,267 and 253,702 for the six month period ended June
30, 1996 and June 30, 1995, respectively and 251,285 and 253,702 for the three
month period ended June 30, 1996 and June 30, 1995, respectively.  There is no
material difference between primary and fully diluted earnings per share.


















































                                ALBION BANC CORP.
                      MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                                  JUNE 30, 1996



Financial Condition

Total assets of Albion Banc Corp. (the "Company") were $57.8 million as of June
30, 1996, an increase of $.7 million or 1.2% over total assets as of December
31, 1995.  Deposits, the Company's primary source of funds, increased $.9
million or 2.0% to $47.5 million at June 30, 1996. Borrowings from the Federal
Home Loan Bank of New York were $3.0 million at June 30, 1996,unchanged from the
$3.0 million at December 31, 1995.

Investment securities held for sale, primarily mortgage-backed securities,
decreased from $4.1 million at December 31, 1995 to $3.5 million at June 30,
1996.  This decrease can be attributed to normal principal paydowns of mortgage-
backed securities.  Proceeds from principal paydowns were reinvested primarily
in real estate loans.

Investment securities held to maturity, primarily U.S. Treasury Securities,
Corporate Bonds and Municipal obligations, decreased from $3.3 million at
December 31, 1995 to $2.8 million at June 30, 1996.  This decrease can be
attributed to normal maturities in the portfolio.  Proceeds from the maturities
were reinvested primarily in real estate loans.

Total loans outstanding as of June 30, 1996 were $47.2 million, an increase of
$2.9 million over total loans at December 31, 1995.  The majority of this
increase occurred in real estate loans secured by one-to-four family property,
which increased by $2.8 million over the respective balance at December 31,
1995.  Real estate loans secured by other properties, including construction
loans as of June 30, 1996, increased by $.3 million during the period.  

Consumer loans, primarily home equity and personal loans decreased $108,949
during this period.  This can be attributed to the normal principal paydowns of
these loans.

The Company's shareholders' equity decreased $116,396 or 1.9%, from $6,089,120
at December 31, 1995 to $5,972,724 at June 30, 1996.  This decrease is due
primarily to the Company's repurchase of 8,400 common stock shares which reduced
shareholders' equity by $142,800.  The Company's equity as a percentage of total
assets at June 30, 1996 was 10.3% and exceeds all regulatory requirements.

Liquidity measures the ability of the Company to meet its maturing obligations
and existing commitments, to withstand fluctuations in deposit levels, to fund
its operations and to provide for customers credit needs.  The Company's
principal sources of funds are customer deposits, advances from the Federal Home
Loan Bank of New York and principal and interest payments on loans, mortgage-
backed securities and investments.  Under current federal regulations, Albion
Federal is required to maintain specified liquid assets in an amount equal to at
least 5% of its net withdrawable liabilities plus short-term borrowings.  The
Company has generally maintained liquidity levels well above those required by
regulation.  At June 30, 1996, Albion Federal's liquidity ratio was 7.5%,
exceeding the minimum required.  Federal Funds sold at June 30, 1996 amounted to
$100,000.  These funds are available immediately to meet upcoming obligations. 
The Company has not sold any investments prior to maturity and has not
transferred any securities between its available for sale and held to maturity
categories.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Six Months Ended June 30, 1996 and 1995

Net Income.  Net income of $92,053 for the six months ended June 30, 1996
represents a decrease of $40,188 or 30.4% from the $132,241 earned in the
comparable period ended June 30, 1995.

Net Interest Income.  Net interest income decreased to $987,516 for the six
months ended June 30, 1996, down 1.5% from $1,002,086 earned during the six
month period ended June 30, 1995.  This decrease is due primarily to a decrease
in interest on federal funds sold of $66,103 which was offset however, by an
increase in interest and fees on loans and investment securities of $34,261. 
Also, interest on deposits increased $172,190, however interest on borrowed
funds decreased $189,462.  Total interest income decreased 1.5% or $31,842
during the period while total interest expense decreased 1.5% or $17,272.

Provision for Loan Losses.  The provision for possible loan losses, the charge
to earnings for potential credit losses associated with lending activities, was
$18,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1996, the same as the comparable
period in 1995.  Management charges earnings for an amount necessary to maintain
the allowance for possible loan losses at a level considered adequate to absorb
potential losses in the loan portfolio.  The level of the allowance is based on
management's evaluation of individual loans, past loan loss experience, the
assessment of prevailing conditions and anticipated economic conditons and other
relevant factors.  The allowance for possible loan losses of the Association at
June 30, 1996 was $242,977 or .52% of total loans.  The increase in the
provision during the first six months was due primarily to management's
quarterly analysis of the Association's loan portfolio.

Noninterest Income.  Noninterest income for the six month period ended June 30,
1996 was $145,897 compared with $116,532 during the same period in the prior
year.  This increase was attributable to increased fee income from depository
transaction accounts and fee income from New Frontier of Albion Corp.  Also ,
the sale of real estate owned in the first quarter resulted in a net gain of
$27,500.

Noninterest Expense.  Noninterest expense for the six month period ended June
30, 1996 was $975,256 an increase of 7.9% over the $903,877 recorded for the
same period in the prior year.  This increase is a result of increases in the
following:  salaries and employee benefits expense of $43,368 or 10.4%;
occupancy expenses of $32,194 or 27.8%; deposit insurance premiums of $15,465 or
34.6%; and data processing fees of $33,182 or 47.3%.  These increases are
primarily the result of general increases in overall business volume and
operations and expenses associated with the operation of the new branch facility
in Clarkson, New York.


Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended June 30, 1996 and
1995

Net Interest Income.  Net interest income increased to $509,620 for the three
months ended June 30, 1996, up 2.7% from $496,405 earned during the three month
period ended June 30, 1995.  This increase is primarily due to increased
interest income and fees on loans and decreased interest expense on borrowed
funds.  Total interest income decreased 4.5% or $51,274 during the period while
total interest expense decreased 10.1% or $64,489.

Provision for Loan Losses.  The provision for possible loan losses, the charge
to earnings for potential credit losses associated with lending activities, was
$9,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1996, the same as the comparable
period in 1995.



Noninterest Income.  Noninterest income for the three month period ended June
30, 1996 was $58,354 compared with $77,855 during the same period in the prior
year.  This decrease was attributable primarily to a decrease in the number of
mortgage loans sold and therefore a decrease in gains on sales of mortgage
loans. This decrease was offset however, by increased fee income from depository
transaction accounts and fee income from New Frontier of Albion Corp.

Noninterest Expense.  Noninterest expense for the three month period ended June
30, 1996 was $499,818 an increase of 8.0% over the $462,752 recorded for the
same period in the prior year.  This increase is a result of increases in the
following: salaries and employee benefits expense of $23,474 or 11.1%; occupancy
expenses of $14,714 or 24.9%; deposit insurance premiums of $8,176 or 36.5%; and
data processing fees of $13,189 or 35.0%.  These increases are primarily the
result of general increases in overall business volume and operations and
expenses associated with the operation of the new branch facility in Clarkson,
New York.
