Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements(unaudited)

The accompanying  unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting   principles  for  interim
financial  information and with the  instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of
Regulation  S-X.  Accordingly,  they do not include all of the  information  and
footnotes  required by generally  accepted  accounting  principles  for complete
financial statements.

1. In the opinion of management of the  Registrant,  the unaudited  consolidated
financial   statements  filed  with  this  Form  10-Q  contain  all  adjustments
(consisting of only normal recurring  accruals)  necessary to present fairly the
consolidated  financial position of the Registrant as of September 30, 1997, and
consolidated  results of  operations  for the three months and nine months ended
September  30,  1997 and 1996 and  consolidated  cash flows for the nine  months
ended September 30, 1997 and 1996.

2. The  results  of  operations  for the  three  months  and nine  months  ended
September 30, 1997 are not necessarily  indicative of the results to be expected
for the full year.

3. The accompanying  unaudited  consolidated financial statements should be read
in conjunction with the Notes to Consolidated  Financial  Statements in the 1996
Annual Report contained in the Registrant's report on Form 10-K filing.

4. The  provision  for  income  taxes  represents  Federal  income  tax  expense
calculated  using  annualized  rates on  taxable  income  generated  during  the
respective periods.

5.  Management's  assessment  of the  allowance  for loan  losses is based on an
evaluation  of the loan  portfolio,  recent loss  experience,  current  economic
conditions,  and other pertinent factors.  Loans on non-accrual status and those
past due more than 90 days  amounted to  $1,511,000  at  September  30, 1997 and
$557,000 at December  31, 1996.  (See  Management's  Discussion  and Analysis of
financial condition and results of operations).

6. On January 16, 1997,  the Board of  Directors  declared a three for one stock
split,  payable as a dividend of two shares for each one share of company  stock
held of record  January 16,  1997.  The  dividend  was paid  February  16, 1997.
References  to common  stock and per share data have been  restated  for 1996 to
reflect the effect of the split.

On a tax equivalent basis, interest income increased  approximately  $400,000 in
the third  quarter of 1997  compared  to that of 1996.  In the third  quarter of
1997,  income on Fed Funds was  $63,000  less than the same  period in 1996,  in
spite of an increase in rates of 22 basis points,  because average balances were
$4,900,000  lower. For the year, income on Fed Funds was $136,000 less than 1996
because average balances were  approximately  $3,500,000  lower,  although rates
were 7 basis points more in 1997 than th previous year.

In the third  quarter,  income on  taxable  securities  decreased  approximately
$82,000 both because the rate  decreased 7 basis points and the average  balance
decreased $5,100,000.

26  basis  points  because  the  average  balance   increased  by  approximately
$1,900,000.  For the first nine months of the year, income on taxable securities
increased  $89,000  over the prior year both due to a 4 basis point  increase in
rates and a  $1,800,000  increase  in  average  balances.  Income on  tax-exempt
securities  was  $107,000  higher than the first three  quarters of 1996.  Rates
declined 30 basis points while average balances increased $2,400,000.

In the third  quarter of this year,  tax  equivalent  loan interest was $513,000
higher  than the same  period in 1996 due to an  increase  in  average  balances
exceeding  $22,000,000 while rates declined 11 basis points. The growth in loans
was  principally  in  the  commercial  sector  where  the  average  balance  was
$17,700,000  (21%)  more  than  the  previous  year.  Consumer  loans  increased
approximately   $4,000,000  on  average  (20%)  while  consumer  mortgage  loans
increased $300,000 (1%). The lack in growth of consumer mortgages is largely due
to the Bank's  policy of selling  fixed rate  mortgages  with  fifteen  year and
longer  maturities.  The Bank retains  variable rate mortgages but there has not
been  sufficient  demand  for  these  products  to  offset  the run off of older
mortgage loans paying down. For the first nine months of the year, loan interest
income increased  $945,000,  with average  balances up $15,500,000  while yields
declined 12 basis points.  The greater  growth in loans  compared to investments
was due to a  concerted  effort on the part of  management  to use the  deposits
available where they would produce the best return.

Interest Bearing Liabilities/Interest Expense
In the third quarter of 1997, interest expense increased $179,000 both due to an
increase  in rates of 20 basis  points and an  increase  in average  balances of
$9,500,000.  Savings and NOW interest expense increased $17,000 because balances
increased $400,000 and rates increased 7 basis points. Interest on time deposits
increased  $148,000 in the third  quarter of 1997 over the prior year.  Balances
increased  $8,100,000  and the rate  paid on time  deposits  increased  17 basis
points.  The deposit  growth was the result of the Bank's  marketing  efforts to
increase  its share of  Livingston  County  deposits.  The  increase in rates on
certificates reflects prevailing trends in the market. The average amount of Fed
Funds  Purchased in the third  quarter of 1997 was  $922,000  while no Fed Funds
were purchased in the same period of 1996.

In the first three  quarters  of the year,  interest  expense was  approximately
$430,000  higher  than  1996  due  to  average   balances  of  interest  bearing
liabilities  increasing $12,000,000 and the rate paid increasing 7 basis points.
Savings and NOW interest expense  increased  $49,000 because balances  increased
$3,500,000 although the interest rate declined 4 basis points.  Interest on time
deposits  increased  $346,000 because the balance  increased  $7,500,000 and the
rate increased 6 basis points.  Fed Fund Purchased  interest  increased  $35,000
because there was very little activity in Fed Funds Purchased in 1996.


Liquidity
Liquidity is monitored by the Bank's Asset/Liability Management Committee (ALCO)
which  meets  at least  monthly.  ALCO  developed,  and the  Board of  Directors
approved, a liquidity
<PAGE>
policy which  requires a minimum 15% liquidity  ratio.  Throughout  1996 and the
first nine months of 1997 the Company's liquidity ratio exceeded 20%.

Deposits are the  principal  source of funds for the Bank.  Management  monitors
rates at other  financial  institutions  in the area to ascertain that its rates
are competitive in the market.  Management also attempts to offer a wide variety
of  products  to meet the  needs  of its  customers.  The Bank  does not deal in
brokered funds, and the makeup of its over $100,000 certificates, which amounted
to $12,700,000 at September 30, 1997,  consists of local depositors known to the
Bank.

It is the  intention of the Bank's  management  to handle  unexpected  liquidity
needs  through its Federal Funds  position.  The goal is to maintain a daily Fed
Funds  balance  sufficient  to cover  required  cash  draws.  The Bank's  policy
requires all purchases of Fed Funds to be approved by senior  management so that
liquidity  needs are known.  In the event the Bank must  borrow for an  extended
period, management may look to "available for sale" securities in the investment
portfolio  for  liquidity.  In April of this year,  the Bank sold  $4,000,000 in
Treasury  securities to meet  liquidity  needs.  The Bank has also had to borrow
more this year as loan demand has exceeded deposit growth. During the first nine
months of the year, Fed Funds  Purchased  balances  averaged  $800,000 while Fed
Funds Sold balances averaged $1,900,000.

In addition to liquidity issues, ALCO discusses the current economic outlook and
its impact on the Bank and current  interest rate forecasts.  Actual results are
compared to budget in terms of growth and income.  A yield and cost  analysis is
done to monitor interest margin.  Various ratios are discussed including capital
ratios and liquidity. The rate sensitivity report is analyzed and strategies are
created to attempt to produce the desired results.  The rate sensitivity  report
describes the repricing schedule for various asset and liability categories.

Given the  asset  sensitive  position  of the Bank at  September  30,  1997,  if
interest  rates  decrease  200 basis  points  and  management  did not  respond,
management   estimates  that  annualized  net  interest  income  would  decrease
approximately  $300,000,  while a  similar  increase  in rates  would  cause net
interest income to increase by a like amount. In the preceding table, the entire
balance of savings,  MMDA, and NOW are not  categorized as 0-3 months,  although
they are variable rate products.  Some of these balances are core deposits which
are not considered rate sensitive based on the Bank's historical  experience and
industry practice.

</TABLE>
The  provision  for loan  losses  of  $112,000  remained  the same for the third
quarter of 1997 as it was the prior year.  Year to date the  provision  has also
remained the same at $336,000. In September of 1997, the allowance for loan loss
as a percent of loans was 2.24%, compared to 2.55% a year earlier. For the first
nine months of 1997, the Bank had net charge offs of $131,500, compared with net
charge  offs  of  $68,600  last  year.  Non-accrual,   past  due  90  days,  and
renegotiated  loans were .95% and .91% of total loans  outstanding  at September
30, 1997 and 1996 respectively.

Impaired  loans, as defined by Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards No.
114,  Accounting by Creditors for  Impairment of a Loan,  totaled  approximately
$3,400,000 at September 30, 1997,  compared to $820,000 at December 31, 1996 and
included non-accrual, and past due 90 days other than homogenous residential and
consumer  loans,  and, at  September  30,  1997,  an  additional  $2,000,000  of
commercial  loans  separately  identified as impaired.  The increase in impaired
loans is  primarily  due to  problem  loans wit two large  borrowers.  A loan is
considered  impaired  when  it is  probable  that  all or part  of  amounts  due
according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement will be uncollectible.
<PAGE>
Management  assessment  of  the  allowance  for  loan  losses  is  based  on the
composition of the loan portfolio, an evaluation of specific credits, historical
loss  experience,  the level of  nonperforming  loans  and loans  that have been
identified as impaired. Externally, the local economy and events or trends which
might negatively impact the loan portfolio are also considered. Certain impaired
loans  with  a  balance  of  $3,000,000  had  specific  reserves  calculated  in
accordance with SFAS No. 114 of $400,000 at September 30, 1997.

Nonperforming  assets  are  loans for which the  accrual  of  interest  has been
discontinued,  accruing  loans 90 days or more past due in  payments,  and other
real estate which has been acquired primarily through foreclosure and is waiting
disposition. The following table describes nonperforming assets at September 30,
1997 compared to December 31, 1996.  The loans  categorized  as ninety days past
due are all well secured and in the process of collection.

</TABLE>
Although nonperforming and impaired loans have increased in 1997 compared to the
prior year,  management  believes it has been quite  aggressive  in  recognizing
problem loans.  Loans are generally  placed on a nonaccrual basis when principal
or interest is past due 90 days or more and when, in the opinion of  management,
full  collection of principal and interest is unlikely.  Any  identifiable  loss
related to  impaired  loans has  previously  been  charged  off.  Management  is
comfortable  with the overall  quality of th loan  portfolio  but  continues  to
monitor loan quality on an on-going basis. The above mentioned  problem credits,
making up the greater part of impaired loans,  are well  collateralized  and are
not expected to result in serious losses.

Non-interest  income,  which includes service charges on deposit accounts,  loan
and customer  service fees,  other operating  income,  and gain(loss) on sale of
assets and  securities  transactions,  increased by $116,000  (28%) in the third
quarter of 1997 compared to the same period in the previous year.  Making up the
increase in non-interest  income is an increase in service fees of $32,500 (9%),
an  increase  in gain on loan sales of $5,000  (13%),  and an  increase in other
income of $78,500 (72%).  The increase i service fees is the result of increased
business  volume.  Included  in other  income is gain on the sale of other  real
estate of $86,000 that is not expected to recur.
<PAGE>
For the year,  non-interest  income increased  $116,000.  Service fees increased
approximately  $50,000 (5%), the gain from loan sales  increased  $48,500 (75%),
and other income increased  $17,000 (19%).  Other income in 1996 included a gain
on the sale of other real estate of $70,000.

</TABLE>
Non-interest  expense  increased  $242,000  (15%) in the third  quarter  of 1997
compared to the same  period last year.  Contributing  to this  increase  was an
increase of $210,000 in salaries and benefits  expense and a $25,000 increase in
other  expense.  The increase in salaries and benefits was  primarily due to the
profit  sharing  accrual,  attributable  to the  Bank's  performance,  which was
$190,000 more in the third quarter of 1997 compared to the same period in 1996.

For the year  non-interest  expense was $747,000 (17%) higher than 1996. For the
year,  salaries  and  benefits  increased  $380,000.  In  addition to the profit
sharing accrual mentioned above,  salaries  increased in 1997 due to staffing of
the  Trust  Department  and as a  result  of an  analysis  of jobs  in the  Bank
completed  late in 1996 which  showed the need for  adjustments  to salaries for
certain positions.  Fees for services increased $100,000 principally because the
Bank has hired consultants for selected specia projects.  Other income increased
$190,000  due, in part, to legal fees and other real estate  expense  related to
the  disposal of other real estate,  and to charges  related to  technology.  In
spite of the increase in non-interest  expense,  the Bank was able to achieve an
efficiency ratio of 54%.

The Bank  anticipates  that operating  expenses will continue to grow this year,
and into 1998, as expenses  related to the Bank's  Strategic  Plan are incurred.
Management  drafted and the Board of Directors  approved a Strategic  Plan which
focuses on  increasing  market  penetration  in the eastern  part of the county,
developing the Bank's trust and investment  business,  and increasing the Bank's
leadership in small business lending.

The Bank  will also  focus  considerable  energy  on the Year 2000  issue in the
remainder  of 1997 and 1998.  The Bank is highly  dependent  on  technology  and
several  applications  are  dependent  on the  software's  ability  to make  the
transition to the year 2000. The Bank has hired a consultant who has recommended
actions  related  to year 2000  compliance.  A  committee  is in the  process of
implementing  these  steps  at this  time.  Management  does  not  believe  that
compliance  with Year 2000 will have a material  effect o the  Bank's  financial
condition.

*Amounts exclude securities  valuation  adjustments  recorded under Statement of
Financial  Accounting  Standards  No. 115  amounting to $27,000 at September 30,
1997 and $38,000 at December 31, 1996.

A financial institution's capital ratio is looked upon by the regulators and the
public as an indication of its soundness.  Shareholders'  equity,  excluding the
securities  valuation  adjustment,  increased  $2,000,000 (10%) during the first
nine months of the year.  This  increase was the result of net income  earned by
the company reduced by dividends paid of $708,750.

The Federal  Reserve Board provides  guidelines  for the  measurement of capital
adequacy. The Company's capital, as adjusted under these guidelines, is referred
to as  risk-based  capital.  The  Company's  Tier 1 risk-based  capital ratio at
September  30,  1997 was 14.32%,  and total  risk-based  capital was 15.57%.  At
September  30, 1996 these  ratios were 15.36% and 16.61%  respectively.  Minimum
regulatory  Tier 1  risk-based  and total  risk-based  capital  ratios under the
Federal Reserve Board guidelines are 4% and 8% respectively.

The capital guidelines also provide for a standard to measure risk-based capital
to total assets which is called the leverage ratio. The Company's leverage ratio
was 10.30% at  September  30,  1997 and  10.06% in 1996.  The  minimum  standard
leverage  ratio is 3% but  financial  institutions  are  expected  to maintain a
leverage ratio 1 to 2 percentage points above the 3% minimum.

The Bank is committed to spending in excess of $1,000,000 on various  technology
improvements.  In  addition,  the  Bank  has  received  regulatory  approval  to
establish  a new  branch in the  northwest  part of  Brighton  and is  currently
looking  for a  site.  The  projects  mentioned  above  will  be  financed  from
internally generated funds.
