Material Changes in Financial Conditions


Management's discussion and analysis of the financial conditions and results 
of operations for the three month period ended June 30, 1996 with the 
appropriate comparisons to the same period in 1995 are as follows:

The Bank's total assets increased to $372,977,832 at June 30, 1996 or 15.1% 
on an annualized basis from total assets of $346,865,213 at December 31, 1995 
and increased 22.4% from total assets of $304,623,982 at June 30, 1995.

totaled $131,164,631 or 35.2% of total assets at June 30, 1996 an increase of 
$5,864,361 from $125,300,270 or 36.1% of total assets at December 31, 1995 
and an increase of $31,603,408 from $99,561,223 or 32.7% of total assets at 
June 30, 1995.  Loans, net increased $17,893,877 or 17.2% on an annualized 
basis to $226,220,600 or 60.6% of total assets at June 30, 1996 from 
$208,326,723 or 60.1% of total assets at December 31, 1995 and increased 
$32,727,793 from $193,492,807 or 63.5% of total assets at June 30, 1995.  The 
Bank's nonperforming loans totaled $754,995 or .2% of  total assets at June 
30, 1996 as compared to $930,766 or .3% of total assets at December 31, 1995 
and $659,987 or .2% of total assets at June 30, 1995.  The Bank's loan loss 
provision for the second quarter ended June 30, 1996 was $66,333 as compared 
to $100,000 for the second quarter of 1995.  The Bank's charge-offs net of 
recoveries for the quarter ended June 30, 1996 were $ 125,250 compared to 
($18,763) during the second quarter of 1995.  The allowance for loan losses 
totaled $2,154,372 at June 30, 1996 as compared to $2,541,997 at December 31, 
1995 and $2,316,943 at June 30, 1995. The allowance for loan losses 
represented  285.3%, 366.2% and 251.1% of nonperforming loans at June 30, 
1996, December 31, 1995 and  June 30, 1995 respectively.

Deposits at June 30, 1996 totaled $293,865,423 as compared to $282,787,249 at 
December 31, 1995 an increase of $11,078,174 or 7.8% on an annualized basis, 
and increased $33,810,498 or



13.0% from deposits of $260,054,926 at June 30, 1995. Federal Home Loan Bank 
advances increased $13,759,000 to $52,727,000 at June 30, 1996 from

at June 30, 1995.

Stockholders Equity increased to $24,781,793 at June 30, 1996 from 
$22,824,616 at December 31, 1995 and $21,616,275 at June 30, 1995.  The 
increase in the second quarter reflects earnings of $700,583  and the 
issuance of 106,222 additional shares of stock, of which 100,000 shares were 
issued through a private placement raising net of expenses $1,401,500 of 
incremental new capital, and was decreased by the payment of a $.07 dividend 
on shares outstanding of $108,930.



Material Changes in Results of Operations


Net Income for the second quarter ended June 30, 1996 was $700,583 or $.43 
per share as compared to net income in the second quarter ended June 30, 1995 
of $812,664 or $.53 per share.

Interest and dividend income increased 18.9% in the second quarter of 1996 to 
$6,871,065 from $5,780,344 for the second quarter of 1995.  The increase 
reflects our growth in earning assets which increased $64,921,003 or 22.0% at 
June 30, 1996 from June 30, 1995, and a slight decrease in the yield on  
average earning assets to 7.93% at June 30, 1996 from 7.94% at June 30, 1995.

Interest expense increased $614,235 or 18.2% to $3,990,378 from $3,376,143 
for the second quarter ended June 30, 1996. This increase reflects the 
increased overall cost of funds to 5.04% at June 30, 1996 from 4.58% at June 
30, 1995, in conjunction with an  increase in  average total deposits  by 
$26,741,000 at an increased cost of 45 basis points, an increase in average 
borrowings by  $26,731,000 at a decreased cost of 91 basis points.

Other income for the quarter ended June 30, 1996 totaled $156,833 compared to 
$734,169 for the same quarter in 1995.  The components of other income for 
the second quarter ended June 30, 1996 were net security losses of $921, gain 
on the sale of loans of $159, REO income of $10,450 and service charges of 
$147,145, as compared to gain on the sale of servicing rights of $763,806, 
net security  losses of $13,750, net losses on the sale of real estate of 
$119,965, REO income of $38,431 and service charges of $120,838 for the same
period in 1995.



Operating expenses totaled $1,839,082 for the second quarter ended June 30, 
1996 as compared to $1,739,485 for the same period in 1995, an increase of 
$99,597 or 5.7%. This increase reflects the increased personnel costs of 
$177,896  required by the opening of three new branch locations. These 
branches were opened in July 1995, December 1995 and May 1996. Occupancy 
costs also increased $93,025 reflecting the three new branches. These 
increases were partially offset by the reduction of, OREO expenses of $45,311 
and FDIC deposit assessment of $159,000.

Income Tax


Provision for income taxes for the quarter ended June 30, 1996 was $431,522
