     Item 2.  Management's  Discussion  and Analysis of Financial  Condition and
Results of Operations  Results of Operations  Net interest  income  increased to
$1,181,417  for the quarter  ended June 30, 1996 from  $882,566  for the quarter
ended June 30, 1995 and to  $2,468,257  for the six month  period ended June 30,
1996 from  $1,721,303 for the six month period ended June 30, 1995. The increase
was primarily due to increases in loan volumes and other interest bearing assets
and the relative market interest rates and fees which exceed the related cost of
funds  for  investing  in  such  assets.  Total  interest  income  increased  to
$1,941,727  for the quarter ended June 30, 1996 from  $1,493,840 for the quarter
ended June 30, 1995 and to  $3,965,748  for the six month  period ended June 30,
1996 from  $2,848,106 for the six month period ended June 30, 1995. The increase
in  interest  income  was  primarily  the  result of  increases  in the net loan
portfolio of 38% from $42,570,281 to $58,839,716 and in investment securities of
9% from  $19,940,765 to $21,777,123  from June 30, 1995 to June 30, 1996.  Total
interest expense  increased to $760,310 for the quarter ended June 30, 1996 from
$611,274 for the quarter ended June 30, 1995 and to $1,497,491 for the six month
period ended June 30, 1996 from  $1,126,803  for the six month period ended June
30, 1995.  The increase in interest  expense was  primarily  due to increases in
interest  bearing  deposits of 18% from  $51,274,739 to $60,364,078 and in other
borrowings of 100% from no  borrowings to $5,020,000  from June 30, 1995 to June
30,  1996.  Additions to the  allowance  for  possible  loan losses  (Balance of
$1,043,666 and $875,744 at June 30 1996 and 1995,  respectively,  and $1,026,830
at December 31,  1995) are made  periodically  to maintain  the  allowance at an
appropriate  level based on management's  analysis of potential risk in the loan
portfolio. The ratio of the allowance for possible loan losses to loans of 1.73%
at June 30, 1996 remained the same as the 1.73% at December 31, 1995 as a result
of  continued  experience  of the  Company's  bank  subsidiary  and its  related
mortgage  operations.  The amount of the  provision  for possible loan losses is
determined by an evaluation  of the amount of loans  outstanding,  the amount of
non-performing loans,  historical loan loss experience,  delinquency trends, the
amount of losses  actually  charged to the allowance in a given  period,  and an
assessment of present and  anticipated  economic  conditions that might possibly
impact the Company's market.  Management determined that no additional provision
was  necessary for the allowance for the quarter and six month period ended June
30, 1996  compared to a provision of $10,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 1995
and a  provision  of  $20,000  for the six month  period  ended  June 30,  1995.
However,  management's  judgment  is based  upon a number of  assumptions  about
future  events,  which are believed to be  reasonable,  but which may or may not
prove valid.  Thus, there can be no assurance that charge-offs in future periods
will not  exceed  the  allowance  for  possible  loan  losses,  that  additional
increases in the allowance will not be required, or that any particular level of
allowance  for  possible  loan losses  will be  maintained.  Noninterest  income
increased to $538,682 for the quarter  ended June 30, 1996 from $194,874 for the
quarter  ended June 30, 1995 and to $852,686 for the six month period ended June
30,  1996 from  $520,723  for the six month  period  ended June 30,  1995.  Such
increases were largely  attributable to gains on sales of loans in the Company's
mortgage loan operations.  Noninterest  expense  increased to $1,120,526 for the
quarter  ended June 30, 1996 from  $705,775 for the quarter  ended June 30, 1995
and to $2,098,588  for the six month period ended June 30, 1996 from  $1,507,965
for the six month period  ended June 30,  1995.  The  increases  were  primarily
related  to an  increase  in the  number of  full-time  employees,  particularly
related to the  increase  in the  mortgage  loan  operations  and normal  salary
increases.  The Company's net income increased to $379,335 ($.35 per share fully
diluted) for the quarter ended June 30, 1996 from $250,143 ($.24 per share fully
diluted)  for the quarter  ended June 30,  1995 and to $777,052  ($.71 per share
fully  diluted) for the six month period ended June 30, 1996 from $494,416 ($.47
per share fully  diluted)  for the six month  period  ended June 30,  1995.  The
return on average assets and period end equity increased to 1.63% from 1.45% and
to 18.9% from 14.3%, respectively,  for the six month period ended June 30, 1996
and 1995.  The  increases in net income and returns  reflect the increase in net
interest  income,  the reduction in the provision for possible loan losses,  and
the  increase  in  noninterest  expenses.  Liquidity  and Sources of Capital The
Company had cash and cash  equivalents  of $4,277,458  and federal funds sold of
$2,590,000  at June 30,  1996 and cash and cash  equivalents  of  $3,403,926  at
December 31, 1995. The increase in liquidity  reflects the Company's strategy of
having  funds  available  for  increased  investment  in earning  assets and the
relative  stability  of the  Company's  need to respond to short term demand for
funds caused by withdrawals from deposit accounts.  The loan to deposit ratio at
June 30, 1996 was 77.9% compared to 75.1% at December 31, 1995 and 66.9% at June
30, 1995. The increase in this ratio continues to reflect the Company's strategy
of increasing investments in higher earning loans and related fee opportunities.
Primary sources of liquidity are the scheduled repayments on the Company's loans
and interest on and maturities of its investments. Occasionally, the Company may
sell  investment  securities in connection  with the  management of its interest
sensitivity  gap.  The  Company  may also  utilize  its cash and due from banks,
interest-earning  deposits  in  financial  institutions,   federal  funds  sold,
borrowings from FHLB and repurchase agreements to meet liquidity requirements as
needed.  The Company also has the ability,  on a short-term  basis,  to purchase
federal funds from other financial institutions. Presently, the Company has made
arrangements with commercial banks for short-term unsecured and secured advances
of up to  $12,250,000  and with the Federal Home Loan Bank for  borrowings up to
$5,170,000.  The Company  believes that its liquidity will be sufficient to meet
its operating requirements over the near term.
