                   SUBURBAN BANCORPORATION, INC.
                        AND SUBSIDIARY

           Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(1)   The Company is primarily engaged in the business of
directing, planning, and coordinating the business of the Bank,
which mainly consists of accepting deposits from the general
public through its branches and investing these funds in loans
secured by real estate and other interest earning investments. 
In the future, the Company may acquire or organize other
operating subsidiaries, including other financial institutions.  

(2)   Basis of Presentation.  The accompanying consolidated
financial statements were prepared in accordance with
instructions for form 10QSB and, therefore, do not include
information for footnotes necessary for a complete presentation
of financial position, results of operations, retained earnings,
and cash flows in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.  However, all adjustments of a normal and recurring
nature which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a
fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements have
been included in the results of operations for the six and three
months ended December 31, 1996 and 1995.  The June 30, 1996
balance sheet is derived from the June 30, 1996 audited
consolidated financial statements.  The December 31, 1996 balance
sheet and the consolidated statements of operations and cash
flows for the periods ended December 31, 1996 and 1995 are
unaudited. 

(3)   Principles of Consolidation.  The accompanying consolidated
financial statements include the accounts of Suburban
Bancorporation, Inc., Suburban Federal Savings Bank, and its
wholly owned subsidiary, Suburban Financial Services, Inc.  All
significant intercompany items have been eliminated.

(4)   Stockholders' Equity.  The Bank is required to maintain
certain minimum levels of regulatory capital.  At December 31,
1996, the highest of those levels was $9.7 million (see
"Liquidity and Capital Resources").  In addition to this
requirement the Bank may not reduce its capital below the level
of the "liquidation account" for the benefit of eligible
deposits.  In the event of a complete liquidation of the Bank,
eligible depositors would have an interest in the account.  As of
December 31, 1996, the Company had purchased 106,778 shares of
its own stock as part of stock repurchase plans (see "Stock
Repurchase Plan").

(5)   Earnings Per Share.  Earnings per share is computed by
dividing net income for the period by the weighted average of
common shares and common share equivalents outstanding.  Stock
options are considered common share equivalents in the
computation under the treasury stock method.  ESOP shares are
included in shares outstanding as they are released for
allocation to individual employees.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL              
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 

     Financial Condition
     -------------------
     The Company's total assets increased by $16.6 million from
$202.1 million at June 30, 1996 to $218.7 million at December 31,
1996.  The increase was the result of a $15.2 million increase in
loans, which was funded primarily by a $9.2 million increase in
savings deposits and a $6.1 million increase in FHLB advances
during the period.
   
     Loan originations and purchases for the period were higher
by 11.9% overall to $29.1 million as compared to $26.0 million
for the same period in 1996.  Loans sold to investors were $1.6
million and $3.5 million for the six months ended December 31,
1996 and 1995, respectively.  As a result net loans receivable
increased $15.2 million or 9.6% from $158.7 million at June 30,
1996 to $174.0 million at December 31, 1996.

     Suburban Federal maintains a significant portfolio of
mortgage-backed securities in the form of FNMA, FHLMC, and GNMA
participation certificates, which are guaranteed by their
respective agencies as to principal and interest.  Management has
purchased mortgage-backed securities to increase the volume of
interest earning assets relative to the volume of equity
("leverage") to improve income, and expects to replace these
assets with loan production over the coming years as they
amortize or are sold.  At December 31, 1996 the balance of
mortgage-backed securities available for sale was $26.8 million
with an amortized cost of $26.7 million.  A market valuation
allowance for the unrealized loss is a component of stockholders'
equity.  
      
     Savings deposits increased by 7.7% from $119.7 million June
30, 1996 to $128.9 million at December 31, 1996.  This increase
is a result of more competitive pricing by the Bank and the first
two full quarters of an innovative program for the marketing of
demand deposit accounts, which is expected in the long term to
lower deposit costs and increase the volume of deposits overall.  
 

     Results of Operations for the Six and Three
     -------------------------------------------
     Months Ended December 31, 1996 and 1995
     ---------------------------------------

     Net Income.  Net income for the six months ended December
31, 1996 was lower by $565,000 to $109,000 as compared to
$674,000 for the same period in 1995.  However, net income for
the three months ended December 31, 1996 was higher by $55,000 to
$380,000 as compared to $325,000 for the same period in 1995. 
The decrease for the six months ended December 31, 1996 is
attributable to a one time after tax charge of $555,000 to
recognize a federal deposit insurance special assessment levied
on all thrift institutions to capitalize the SAIF fund.  With the
one time assessment out of the way the Bank will be subject to
much lower expenses in the future for federal deposit insurance. 
The federal deposit insurance premiums paid by the company
decreased from 23 basis points to 6.5 basis points beginning
January 1, 1997, which will result in savings of approximately
$212,000 annually, based on current deposit levels. 

     Net Interest Income.  Net interest income for the six and
three months ended December 31, 1996 increased by $186,000 and
$138,000 respectively, to $3.1 million and $1.6 million as
compared to $2.9 million and $1.4 million 
                                    6

for the same periods in 1995.  The improvement is the result of
an increased volume in loans while average interest margin
remained relatively constant.  The average yield on assets
decreased by 12 and 6 basis points and the average cost of
deposits and borrowings decreased by 15 and 14 basis points for
the six and three months ended December 31, 1996, respectively. 
As a result the average margin decreased by 1 basis point for the
six months ended and increased by 2 basis points for the three
months ended December 31, 1996 as compared to the same periods in
1995.

    Provision for Losses on Loans.  No provision for losses on
loans was made for the six and three months ended December 31,
1996 nor in the same periods in the prior year.  The provision
and the level of the allowance are determined by management with
consideration to and analysis of specific loans in the portfolio,
known and inherent risk in the portfolio, estimated value of the
underlying collateral, assessment of general trends in the real
estate market, and current and prospective economic and
regulatory conditions.

     Noninterest Income.  Primarily as a result of an increase in
fees on checking accounts, noninterest income increased by
$100,000 and $61,000 for the six and three months ended December
31, 1996 as compared to the same period in 1995.  The increase in
checking account fees is the result of a 33% increase in the
number of outstanding checking accounts since June 30, 1996.  The
increase in the number of accounts is attributable to active
marketing efforts which began in June 1996, and will be continued
throughout the fiscal year.  

     Noninterest Expense.  Noninterest expense for the six and
three months ended December 31, 1996 was higher by $1,152,000 and
$123,000 as compared to the same period in the prior year.  The
six month increase was primarily the result of an $822,000 one
time before tax assessment by the FDIC on all thrift institutions
to capitalize the SAIF fund.  Compensation and benefits were
$128,000 and $50,000 higher for the six and three months ended
December 31, 1996 as compared to the same period in 1995 due to
the staffing of some positions which were vacant the previous
year as well as the increase in average hours worked by
employees.  Advertising and data processing and automated teller
service expenses were $214,000 and $101,000 higher in aggregate
for the six and three months ended December 31, 1996 as compared
to the prior year due to the increase in the number of checking
accounts and the associated marketing and operating support for
the program to increase such accounts.  

                                    7

Nonaccruing Loans, Impaired Loans and Foreclosed

General Loan Loss Reserves                  $3,134            $3,138


     Residential loans accounted for on a nonaccrual basis
increased by $288,000 from $70,000 at June 30, 1996 to $358,000
at December 31, 1996.  This increase was the result of 7
residential loans being more than 90 days past due at December
31, 1996 as compared to 3 residential loans at June 30, 1996.  As
a result nonperforming loans and foreclosed assets as a percent
of total assets increased to .26% at December 31, 1996 from .13%
at June 30, 1996.    

     Loans are placed on nonaccrual status when either principal
or interest is more than 90 days past due and is not expected to
be collectible.  Interest accrued and unpaid at the time a loan
is placed on nonaccrual status is charged against interest
income.  Loans are considered impaired if the full collection of
contractual principal and interest payments is not considered to
be probable.  One loan having a stated principal balance of $1.1
million is considered to be impaired and a specific reserve of
$552,000 has been established.  

     Liquidity and Capital Resources
     -------------------------------
     As a holding company, the Company conducts its business
through its subsidiary, the Bank.  The principal sources of funds
for the Bank are deposits, proceeds from principal and interest
payments on loans and mortgage-backed securities and borrowings
from the FHLB of Cincinnati.  

     As of December 31, 1996 the Bank had total outstanding
advances from the FHLB of $60.2 million.  Advances are used by
the Bank to provide additional liquidity and as a tool to balance
the interest rate sensitivity of the balance sheet.
                                    8

     The principal uses of funds by the Bank includes the
origination and purchase of loans secured by real estate and the
purchase of mortgage-backed securities and investment securities.

     Under Federal regulations, the Bank is required to maintain
minimum tangible capital in an amount equal to 1.5% of adjusted
total assets, core capital equal to 3% of adjusted total assets,
and risk based capital in an amount equal to 8.0% of risk
weighted assets.  As of December 31, 1996 the Bank was in
compliance with all capital requirements, having tangible and
core capital of 10.2%, and risk based capital of 19.7%.

     The Bank is also required by current OTS regulations to
maintain specified liquid assets of at least 5% of its net
withdrawable accounts plus short-term borrowings.  At December
31, 1996 the Bank had 6.8% in 
regulatory liquidity.  Management believes that the liquidity
levels maintained as well as the Bank's borrowing capacity and
the portfolio  available for sale of securities are adequate to
meet potential deposit outflows, loan demand, and normal
operations.  As of December 31, 1996 the Bank had outstanding
commitments to originate and purchase loans totaling $2.7 million
and $4.1 million, respectively.

     Stock Repurchase Plan
     ---------------------

     On February 16, 1996 the Company announced a second stock
repurchase plan with authority to repurchase an additional 75,000
shares beyond the   79,000 shares approved previously.  The
repurchased shares will be held as treasury stock and will be
available for issuance upon the exercise of outstanding stock
options and for other corporate purposes.  The repurchase program
will be dependent upon market conditions and the availability of
shares, and there is no guarantee as to the exact number of
shares to be repurchased by the Company.  Management believes
that liquidity of the Company is adequate to meet the cash
requirements of the repurchase plan.  As of December 31, 1996,
the company had purchased 106,778 shares of its own stock at an
average cost of $16.98 per share.

     Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices
     ---------------------------------------

     The consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes
appearing elsewhere herein have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles, which require the
measurement of financial position and operating results in terms
of historical dollars without considering the changes in the
relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. 
The impact of inflation is reflected in the increased cost of the
Bank's operations.  

     Unlike most industrial companies, nearly all the assets and
liabilities of the Bank are monetary in nature.  As a result,
interest rates have a greater impact on the Bank's performance
than do the effects of the general level of inflation.  Interest
rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or to the
same extent as the prices of goods and services.
