                   Orange National Bancorp & Subsidiary

           NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The consolidated balance sheet of Orange National Bancorp and its wholly-owned 
subsidiaries, Orange National Bank and ONB Mortgage Corporation, as of June 30, 
1997, and the consolidated statements of earnings and statements of cash 
flows for the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 1997 and 1996,
 have been prepared without audit pursuant to the rules and regulations of 
the Securities and Exchange Commission.  In the opinion of management, all
adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present 
fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows at June 30, 
1997, and 1996, have been made.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial 
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles 
have been condensed or omitted.  Management believes that the disclosures 
presented are adequate to make the information not misleading.  It is 
suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in 
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto 
included in the Company's December, 1996, annual report to shareholders.  The 
results of the operations for the periods ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, are not 
necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full years.

2.COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into commitments to fund 
loans and extend credit to its customers.  These commitments are not reflected 
in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and 
management does not expect any loss to result from such commitments.  Standby
 letters of credit at June 30, 1997, and December 31, 1996, amounted to 
$236,843 and $1,906,580 respectively.

3.INCOME TAX MATTERS

The gross amounts of deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows:


                                                        
     Deferred tax assets                            $1,035,000
     Deferred tax liability                           (678,000)
     Valuation allowance for deferred tax asset             -0-

          Net deferred tax asset                       357,000

Management believes no valuation allowance is necessary.  There has been no 
change in the allowance during the quarter ending June 30, 1997.

4.SECURITIES

The fair value of securities classified as held to maturity as of June 30, 1997
 is $10,300,578.  The unrealized losses of securities available for sale net of 
unrealized gains as of June 30, 1997 is $121,954.

5.  ANALYSIS FOR CREDIT LOSSES

An analysis of the change in the allowance for credit losses follows:


                                            
     Beginning January 1, 1997           1,369,288

At June 30, 1997, the Bank has classified $1,268,337 of its loans as impaired 
with a specific loan loss reserve of $326,657 and $211,799 of its loans as 
impaired with no related loss reserve as determined in accordance with this 
Statement.  The average recorded investment in impaired loans during the 
quarter ended June 30, 1997 was $1,599,400.  The Bank recognizes interest 
income on impaired loans using both the cost-recovery method and cash-basis 
method, depending in the economic substance of each impaired loan, which applies
 cash payments to principal or interest as received.  The amount of interest
 income recognized during the quarter ended June 30, 1997 on loans classified
 as impaired was $8,021 which equals the amount of cash payments received.

                  Management's Discussion and Analysis of
               Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Liquidity

The Company maintains substantial liquid and other short-term assets to meet 
increases in loan demand, deposit withdrawals and maturities.  These assets 
include:


                                                          
                                        6/30/97                Percent       
a.   Cash on Hand & Deposits with  
     Correspondent Banks           $25,595,440                 41.6%         
                                                 

b.   Federal Funds Sold            $25,000,000                 40.7%

c.   Marketable Securities 
     (Available for Sale)          $10,882,376                 17.7%           

Total                              $61,477,816                100.0%

All of the Bank's installment loans require monthly payments, which provide a 
steady return of cash funds.  Liquidity needs can also be met through federal 
funds purchased from correspondent banks and/or direct borrowing from the 
Federal Reserve Bank.  As of this date the Bank has never needed to use these
 facilities.

The loan-to-deposit ratio at June 30, 1997, was 69.0%, compared to 60.6% at 
December 31, 1996.  The ratio of liquid assets (cash and due from banks, time 
deposits with other banks, fed funds sold and investments with maturities of
 one year or less) to non interest bearing demand deposits was 64.3% at 
June 30, 1997, compared to 65.2% at December 31, 1996.

Capital Management

Capital management requires that sufficient capital be maintained for 
anticipated growth and to provide depositors assurance that their funds are 
on deposit with a solvent institution.   The ratio of total capital 
(Shareholders' equity plus reserve for loan losses) to risk adjusted assets 
equaled 13.71% at June 30, 1997, as compared to 13.3% as of December 31,1996.
  Primary capital to total loans was 14.8% at June 30, 1997, as compared to 
15.8% as of December 31, 1996.

Management believes that the Company and its subsidiary Bank are properly and 
adequately capitalized, as evidenced by these two ratios and the strong 
liquidity position.

                                 Results of Operations

                         2nd Quarter 1997 Vs. 2nd Quarter 1996
                           June 30, 1997       June 30, 1996

Total interest income for the three-month period and quarter ending June 30, 
1997, increased $192,073 or 5.1%, over the like period ending June 30, 1996.
 Interest and fees on loans increased $499,310 or 18.2%, due to an increase 
in the loan portfolio, with a decrease in average loan interest rates. The 
average loan totals for the three months ended June 30, 1997 was $130,171,224,
 compared to $107,725,349 for the three month period of the prior year.  
Because of the difference in loan interest rates between the two periods, 
average yield decreased 22 basis points from 10.20% to 9.98% as of June 30, 
1997. Investment income decreased $307,237 or 29.8% over the prior period. 
This decrease was caused by a 33.1% decrease in investment accounts, with an
 increase in average yields. U. S. Government Agencies and Securities 
represent 55.6% of the Banks investment portfolio.  Because of an increase in
 longer term investments and short term interest rates between the two periods,
average yield increased 27 basis points from 5.52% to 5.79% as of June 30, 1997.

Total interest expense decreased $55,170 or 6.3% for the subject period ended 
June 30, 1997, compared to the same period ended June 30, 1996, as a result of a
 decrease in average interest bearing accounts of $7,925,271 or 6.1%.  
The cost of funds averaged 1 basis point less during this current quarter 
than the compared quarter in 1996.

Net interest income (total interest income less total interest expense) 
increased $247,243 or 8.5%, during the quarter ended June 30, 1997, over the
 same period in 1996.

The loan loss provision decreased $25,000 or 38.5%, from $65,000 to $40,000  as 
of June 30, 1997, based on the amount to provide for estimated losses.  At 
June 30, 1997, the reserve level was at 1.09% of total loans and leases as 
compared to 1.37% at June 30, 1996.  Total charge-offs in the three month 
period ended June 30, 1997 were $2,500 and recoveries were $28,123 compared 
to $105,915 in charge-offs and $10,924 in recoveries in the same period in 
1996.  At June 30, 1997, non performing loans were $3,015,618 compared to 
$2,463,576 at December 31, 1996. Real Estate loans totaling $2,548,110 represent
 84.5% of non performing loans.  Management believes, based upon loan quality,
 that the current loan loss reserve of $1,479,747 is adequate and is in 
conformance with established loan policy and guidelines.

Other income increased $434,733 or 59.8%.  No gains or losses were realized on 
the sale of securities.  Gains of $383,052 were realized on the sale of Small 
Business Administration Loans during the quarter ending June 30, 1997, 
compared to $66,864 in gains in the same period in 1996. No gains were 
realized on the sale of equipment during the quarter ending June 30, 1997. 
No gains were realized in the quarter ending June 30, 1996.

Other expense increased $186,746 or 6.6% from $2,818,289 in the second quarter 
of 1996, to $3,005,035 in the second quarter of 1997. Salary and benefit costs 
increased $37,526 due to normal cost of living increases.  Other expense 
increased $147,271 or 16.3% as a result of increases of $70,036 in business 
referral fees, relating to an increase in Small Business Administration Loans,
 and increases in insurance expenses of $79,467.

Operating profits before taxes for the quarter ended June 30, 1997 increased 
$520,230 or 70.2% over the like period in 1996.  This increase in before tax 
profits occurred partially as the result of an increase in average loans 
outstanding and an increase in average investment yields.

Net after taxes income for the three month period and quarter ended June 30, 
1997, was $759,964 compared to $469,734 for the three month period ending 
June 30, 1996.

Current Accounting Development

Effective for financial statements issues after December 15, 1997, the Company 
will be required to implement FASB Statement No. 128, Earnings per Share. The 
Statement establishes standards for computing and presenting earnings per 
share (EPS) and applies to entities with publicly held common stock or 
potential common stock. It replaces the presentation of primary EPS with a 
presentation of basic EPS and also requires dual presentation of basic and 
diluted EPS on the face of the income statement for all entities with complex 
capital structures. The Company has not yet determined the effect this 
Statement will have on its 1998 financial statements.

The FASB has also issued Statement No. 131 Disclosures about Segments of an 
Enterprise and Related Information. Statement No. 131 modifies the disclosure
 requirements for reportable segments and is effective for the Company's year
 ending December 31, 1998. The Company has not determined the effect of the 
adoption of this Statement would have on the Company's financial statements.

 or 3.4%, over the like period ending June 30, 1996.  Interest and fees on loans
 increased $689,947 or 12.5%, due to an increase in the loan portfolio, plus

six-months ended June 30, 1997 was $125,538,128, compared to $108,189,428 for

points from 10.22% to 9.91% as of June 30, 1997.  Investment income decreased 
$436,609 or 22.2% over the prior period.  This decrease was caused by a 26.4%

June 30, 1996 to $75,000 as of June 30, 1997, based on the amount necessary to
 provide for estimated losses.  Management believes that the level of reserve 
is adequate as of June 30, 1997, and it is within the guidelines of the loan 
loss reserve policy as approved by the Board of Directors.

Operating profits before taxes for the first half of 1997, increased $1,037,177,

$1,449,406 compared to $885,229 for the six month period ending June 30, 1996.
