         months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, and results of operations and
         cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996.  The

Nonaccrual loans excluded from impaired loan disclosure under FASB 114 amounted
to $285,150 at September 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996. If interest on these
loans had been accrued, such income would have approximated $21,890 for the
first nine months of 1997 and $28,494 in 1996.



Item 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
          RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Between December 31, 1996 and September 30, 1997, total assets increased
$6,488,000. The September 30 annualized return on average assets is 1.39%
compared to 1.13% at December 31. At September 30 the annualized return on
average equity is 11.62% compared to 10.19% at December 31. The leverage capital
(equity to assets) ratio is 11.75% at September 30 compared to 11.43% at
December 31. Since dividends are paid on a semi-annual basis, this ratio may
seem higher at the end of the first and third quarters of the year.

The increase in assets is a combination of a decrease in the securities
portfolio, an increase in the loan portfolio and an increase in cash and cash
equivalents. As noted for the second quarter, the increase in loans is primarily
for real estate secured by 1-4 family residential property.

Floating rate loans make up 39% of the loan portfolio at September 30 as
compared with 29% at December 31.

The table shown below is an analysis of the Corporation's reserve for loan
losses. Net charge-offs for the Corporation have been very low when compared
with the size of the total loan portfolio. Management monitors the loan
portfolio on a quarterly basis with procedures that allow for problem loans and
potentially problem loans to be highlighted and watched. Based on experience,
the loan policies and the current monitoring program, management believes the
loan loss reserve is adequate.

Loans are placed on nonaccrual status when a loan is specifically determined to
be impaired or when principal or interest is delinquent for 90 days or more.
Interest income generally is not recognized on specific impaired loans unless
the likelihood of further loss is remote. Interest income on other nonaccrual
loans is recognized only to the extent of interest payments received. Following
is a table showing the risk elements in the loan portfolio.

Nonaccrual loans excluded from impaired loan disclosure under FASB 114 amounted
to $285,150 at September 30, 1997. If interest on these loans had been accrued,
such income would have approximated $21,890 for the nine months ended September
30, 1997.

At September 30, 1997, other potential problem loans totalled $45,705. Loans are
viewed as potential problem loans according to the ability of such borrowers to
comply with current repayment terms. These loans are subject to constant
management attention, and their status is reviewed on a regular basis.
Management has allocated a portion of the reserve for these loans according to
the review of the potential loss in each loan situation.

Total deposits have increased $5,467,000 as of September 30 compared with
December 31, 1996. In August 1997, the Corporation began offering a new type of
NOW account called Select Checking that pays a higher rate of interest than
other NOW accounts on balances of $5,000 and above. As of September 30, the
balance in Select Checking accounts is approximately $6,000,000. NOW accounts
(other than Select Checking) and savings accounts have decreased in total about
$3,500,000 since December 31. Certificates of deposit have increased almost
$2,000,000 since December 31. Balances in demand deposits and money market
accounts remain basically unchanged compared to December 31.

The comparison of the income statements for the three months ended September 30,
1997 and 1996 shows an increase of 6% in net income in 1997. Net interest income
increased 9% with increases in interest income and in interest expense.
Noninterest income increased 2% with increases in fiduciary activities income
and service charges on deposit accounts. Noninterest expenses increased 2%.

The comparison of the income statements for the nine months ended September 30,
1997 and 1996 shows an increase in net income of 42% in 1997. Interest income
has increased about 6% in 1997 compared to 1996, and interest expense has
decreased less than 1%. The increase in interest income is from an increase in
interest and fees on loans due to increased loan balances and increased rates
and an increase in interest on securities due primarily to increased rates. The
decrease in interest expense is primarily due to decreased interest rates.

Noninterest income has increased 16% as of September 30, 1997 compared with
September 30, 1996. The increase includes increases in commissions and fees from
fiduciary activities and service charges on deposit accounts. The increased
service charges are due to increases in some existing fees and the start of fees
on customer ATM transactions at foreign ATM's.

Noninterest expense has decreased 3% as of September 30, 1997 compared with
September 30, 1996. The major decreases are in occupancy expense and other
operating expenses.

Liquid assets of the Corporation include cash and due from banks, securities
purchased under agreements to resell, securities available for sale, and loans
and investments maturing within one year. The Corporation's statement of cash
flows details this liquidity. Net income after certain adjustments for noncash
transactions provided cash from operating activities. Funds from maturity of
investment securities and existing cash were used to fund investing activities.
Financing activities were funded through an increase in total deposits. Cash and
cash equivalents have increased during this period insuring liquidity of the
Corporation is more than adequate to meet present and future financial
obligations.
