Nonaccrual loans excluded from impaired loan disclosures under FASB 114 amounted
to $-0- at September 30, 1998 and $285,150 at December 31, 1997. If interest on
these loans had been accrued, such income would have been $-0- for the first
nine months of 1998 and $29,267 in 1997.


Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
         of Operations

Between December 31, 1997 and September 30, 1998, total assets increased
$13,492,000. The September 30 annualized return on average assets is 1.09%
compared to 1.36% at December 31. At September 30 the annualized return on
average equity is 9.51% compared to 11.58% at December 31. The leverage capital
(equity to assets) ratio is 11.30% at September 30 compared to 11.83% at
December 31.

The majority of the increase in assets is due to an increase in the securities
portfolio. The increase in assets is offset on the liability side by increases
in deposits.

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 the 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.

There were no loans on nonaccrual status at September 30, 1998.

At September 30, 1998, other potential problem loans totalled $106,135. 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 $12,422,000 as of September 30, 1998 compared with
December 31, 1997. The Select Checking balances have increased from $11,000,000
at December 31, 1997 to $26,000,000 at September 30, 1998. Select Checking is
the NOW account started in August 1997 that pays a higher rate of interest on
balances of $5,000 or more. When comparing balances of other deposits as of
September 30 to December 31, 1997, money market accounts have decreased
$2,100,000, certificates of deposit have increased $1,600,000, NOW accounts
(other than Select Checking) have decreased $900,000, savings accounts have
decreased $1,000,000 and non-interest bearing deposits remain basically
unchanged.

The comparison of the income statements for the nine months ended September 30,
1998 and 1997 shows a decrease of 15% in net income in 1998. Net interest income
decreased 4%, interest income increased 6%, and interest expense increased 20%.

The majority of the increase in interest income at September 30, 1998 compared
with September 30, 1997, is due to increased balances in the securities
portfolio and securities purchased under agreements to resell. The increase in
interest expense as of September 30, 1998 compared with September 30, 1997, is
due to the increase in deposits overall of which a significant portion went to
Select Checking as well as the movement of funds into Select Checking from
existing deposit accounts paying a lower interest rate.

Noninterest income remained about the same in 1998 as in 1997, although income
from fiduciary activities increased 9% and the other categories of income
decreased. Noninterest expense increased almost 5%. Salaries and employee
benefits increased 7% due to increases in salaries and wages and group insurance
expenses. Other noninterest expense categories remained basically unchanged.

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 financing activities were used to fund investing
activities. Financing activities provided funds through an increase in total
deposits. Cash and cash equivalents increased during this period, and liquidity
of the Corporation is more than adequate to meet present and future financial
obligations.
