Note 1.  General:

         The accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements conform
         to generally accepted accounting principles and to general practices
         within the banking industry.  The more significant policies used by
         the Company in preparing and presenting its financial statements are
         stated in the Corporation's Form 10-KSB, with the exception of FAS
         128, Earnings Per Share, which the Company adopted as of January 1,
         1997

         The effect of timing differences in the recognition of revenue and
         expense for tax liability is not determined until the end of each
         fiscal year.

         In the opinion of Management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated
         condensed financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of
         normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial
         position of the Corporation as of March 31, 1997 and December 31,
         1996, the results of operations for the three months ended March 31,
         1997 and 1996, and cash flows for the three months ended March 31,
         1997 and 1996.

         The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1997
         and 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected
         for the full year.

Note 2.  Non-Performing Loans

         Non-performing loans includes loans which have been categorized by
         management as non-accruing because collection of interest is not
         assured, and loans which are past-due ninety days or more as to
         interest and/or principal payments.  The following summarizes
         information concerning non-performing loans:

         The Company has an Employee Stock Ownership Plan for the benefit of
         the employees of the Company and its subsidiary.  The ESOP borrowed
         funds from a third party lender and purchased 37,367 shares of the
         Company's stock.  Accordingly, the debt has been recorded in the
         accompanying consolidated condensed balance sheets together with the
         related deferred compensation.  The debt and related deferred
         compensation are reduced as the ESOP makes principal payments.

         The bank has established a line of credit with the Federal Home Loan
         Bank ("FHLB").  Periodic draws are taken against this line to fund
         specific loans.  The total line of credit is $5,834,000, with an
         available balance of $3,584,000.

ITEM 2.         MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL

                       CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION

The purpose of Management's discussion and analysis is to provide relevant
information regarding the Registrant's financial condition and its results of
operations.  The information included herein should be read in conjunction with
the consolidated condensed balance sheets as of March 31, 1997 and December 31,
1996 and the consolidated condensed statements of income for the three months
ended March 31, 1997 and 1996.  This information is not meant to be a
substitute for the balance sheets and income statements.

                             RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net income for the three months ended March 31, 1997 was approximately $452,000
compared to $372,000 for the similar period in 1996.  The discussion that
follows will provide information about the various areas of income and expense
that resulted in the aforementioned results.

                          THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31

For the three months ended March 31, 1997, interest income was $2,911,000
compared to $2,768,000 for the same period in 1996.  This increase of
approximately 5.2%, $143,000, was primarily the result of increased volume in
commercial loans and fed funds sold, as discussed below.

Interest and fees on loans increased to $2,285,000 in the three months ended
March 31, 1997 compared to $2,124,000 in same period of 1995.  Interest from
real estate loans was approximately $27,000 higher in 1997 and fees were
approximately $24,000 higher, thus resulting in total real estate loan interest
and fees being more than $50,000 higher in the first three months of 1997 than
in 1996.  Commercial loan interest income increased approximately $44,000 in
1997 compared to 1996.  The increase was due almost entirely to additional
volume.  Income from consumer loans, including home equity, credit cards, and
installment loans, increased due to higher volumes.

Investment income on taxable securities increased nearly $18,000 in the first
three months of 1997 compared to 1996, $521,000 and $503,000 respectively.
Most of this increase was the result of increased volumes although the average
yield increased slightly.  The volume increase was in the area of corporate
bonds.  The yield increase was in all categories of taxable bonds.  Income from
tax exempt securities decreased by 25%, $38,000 in 1997 compared to $51,000 in
the same period in 1996.  This was the result of both lower volumes and lower
yields.

Interest from fed funds sold and other short-term investments decreased
substantially to $66,000 in 1997 from $89,000 in 1996.  The decreased volume in
fed funds sold, an average balance of $4.4 million in 1997 compared to $6.7
million in 1996, was the primary reason for the decreased income in this
category.  The decreased income due to decreased volume was offset to some
extent by slightly higher yields.

Interest paid on deposits increased to $1,139,000 in the three months ended
March 31, 1997.  This was approximately the same amount of interest paid on
deposits in the same period in 1996.  Average deposits decreased slightly in
1997 but the average cost of funds increased slightly.  Therefore the interest
paid on deposits was approximately the same for both periods.  If, as some are
predicting, interest rates

increase through the rest of 1997, the cost of funds will likely increase also.
The cost of funds increase is expected to occur in the second quarter of 1997
based on current rates being offered compared to the rates on maturing
deposits.  The actions of the Federal Reserve will continue to affect the level
and direction of interest rates in the future.  Management, at this time, is
not able to predict their actions.

Interest on short-term borrowings increased to $189,000 from $168,000 in 1996,
or an increase of $21,000 or 12.5%.  Repurchase agreements, the major item in
this category, had a higher average balance in 1997 compared to 1996, $14.9
million and $13.5 million respectively.  The interest rates paid also increased
in 1997 compared to 1996.  A very small amount of Fed funds were purchased in
the first quarter of 1997 compared to none purchased in 1996.

Other borrowings are represented by Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") advances.
Average borrowings from the FHLB decreased to $2.3 million from $3.6 million in
1996.  The average rate on the borrowings increased because the maturing
borrowings were at rates lower than those remaining.  As a result of these
items the interest cost of the other borrowings category was approximately
$20,000 less in 1997 than in 1996.

The provision for loan loss was $30,000 for the three months in 1997 compared
to $45,000 in 1996.  It is management's opinion that this amount is an adequate
provision.

Total other operating income increased to $244,000 from $235,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996 respectively.  Gain on sale of loans in
the first quarter of 1997 was $8,000 compared to $18,000 in 1996.  As fixed
mortgage rates increased, the activity in this area declined.  All fixed rate
loans originated are sold.  Service fees increased to nearly $147,000 in 1997
from $124,000 in 1996.  Most of this amount results from checking account fees.
The increase was due to an increased number of accounts and an increased fee
schedule.  Other income in the three months ended March 31, 1997 was $57,000
compared to $69,000 in the comparable period of 1996.

Total other operating expenses increased approximately $24,000 to $1,067,000
from $1,043,000. The increased personnel costs were primarily the result of
normal annual increases and the accrual for the 1997 bonus.  The increase in
occupancy expenses are due to increased depreciation and increased real estate
taxes.  The decrease in equipment expenses was a lower depreciation expense.
Data processing expenses declined slightly when comparing the first three
months of 1997 with the same period in 1996.  Other operating expenses
decreased to $245,000 in 1997 from $266,000 in 1996.  This reduction was the
result of small reductions in several different areas which came about because
of a conscious effort to monitor expenses in all operational areas.

Income taxes increased to $242,000 from $179,000.  This increase was due to a
larger amount of income before taxes and a higher effective tax rate, 34.9% and
32.5%, 1997 and 1996 respectively.


                             BALANCE SHEET ANALYSIS

This analysis of the Company's financial position is comparing March 31, 1997
to December 31, 1996.  Total assets were $152.1 million compared to $151.5
million, March 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996, respectively.  This represents
an increase of approximately 4.3%.

Total loans were $101.2 million on March 31, 1997 and $99.4 million on





                                       12

December 31, 1996, an increase of $1.8 million or 1.8%.  All three of the major
loan categories increased in balances outstanding.  Real estate loans were
$57.1 million compared to $56.3 million, March 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996
respectively.  Consumer loans increased to $18.6 million at March 31, 1997
compared to $18.2 million at December 31, 1996.  Commercial loans increased to
$23.6 million at March 31, 1997 compared to $23.0 million at December 31, 1996.
Loan demand was steady during the first quarter of 1997.  At this time,
indications are that a steady loan demand will be prevalent during the second
and possibly the third quarters of 1997.

Allowance for loan losses was $1.21 million at March 31, 1997 compared to $1.19
million at December 31, 1996.  As of March 31, 1997 non-performing loans
totaled $744,000 compared to $1.14 million at December 31, 1996. Of the
$744,000, there was a loan that is subject to a $100,000 regulatory write-down.
This write-down occurred in April, and has been provided for in management's
determination of the adequacy of the allowance for loan loss reserve.
Management believes that the allowance is adequate at this time.

Bank premises and equipment was $3.4 million at March 31, 1997 compared to $3.5
million at December 31, 1996.  This decrease was primarily the depreciation of
buildings and equipment with no major purchases.

The reduction of deposits discussed below were funded in part by a reduction in
fed funds sold and other short term investments.  As of March 31, 1997 fed
funds sold and other short-term investments were $3.3 million compared to $4.7
million at December 31, 1996.  Securities available for sale were $10.6 million
at March 31, 1997 compared to $10.7 million at December 31, 1996.  Securities
held to maturity were $27.2 million compared to $24.9 million, March 31, 1997
and December 31, 1996, respectively.

Total deposits were $112.2 million at March 31, 1997 compared to $118.3 million
at December 31, 1996.  Non-interest bearing deposits were approximately $8.8
million lower on March 31, 1997 than December 31, 1996, $14.4 million and $23.2
million, respectively.  Several commercial customers have historically
increased their demand deposit balances at year end.  As a result, subsequent
reporting dates typically have balances lower than year-end.  Interest bearing
deposits were up slightly, $97.9 million at March 31, 1997 and $95.4 million at
December 31, 1996.  Competition for deposit dollars continues to be intense.
As a result, dramatic growth of interest-bearing deposits is not anticipated
during the balance of 1997.

Other borrowings, the main component of which are advances from the FHLB, was
$2.3 million at March 31, 1997 compared to $2.3 million at December 31, 1996.
The advances were used to fund some loans in the past and to also provide
liquidity.  The use of FHLB advances in the future will depend on the Bank's
need for funds and the rates at which they may be obtained.

The company continues to maintain an excellent capital position regardless of
the measurement used.  The following table shows four different measurements as
of March 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996, and the regulatory requirement, if
any.  Management does not anticipate the need for additional capital resources
in the near future.

Liquidity as it relates to the subsidiary bank is a measure of its ability to
fund loans and withdrawals of deposits in a cost-effective manner.  The Bank's
principal sources of funds are deposits, scheduled amortization and prepayment
of loan principal, maturities of investment securities, income from operations,
and short term borrowings.  Additional sources include purchasing fed funds,
sale of loans, borrowing from both the Federal Reserve Bank and Federal Home
Loan Bank capital loans, and dividends paid by Nevahawk to the Bank.  Under
present law, accumulated earnings could be paid as dividends without incurring
a tax liability.

The liquidity needs of the Company primarily consist of payment of dividends to
its shareholders and a limited amount of expenses.  The sources of funds to
provide this liquidity are income from investments, maturities of investments,
cash balances and dividends from the Bank.  The purchase of Rochelle Bancorp,
Inc. ("Rochelle") will also be funded from the current reserves of the Company,
plus a dividend of approsimately $500,000 from the Bank. Certain restrictions
are imposed upon the Bank which could limit its ability to pay dividends if it
did not have net earnings in the future.  The Company maintains adequate
liquidity to pay its expenses.

Off-Balance sheet items consist of credit card lines of credit, mortgage
commitments, letters of credit and other commitments totaling approximately
$10.9 million as of March 31, 1997.  This compares to $9.7 million at December
31, 1996.  The bank historically funds off-balance sheet commitments with its
primary sources of funds, and management anticipates that this will continue.

On April 30, 1997, the Company completed the purchase of all the outstanding
shares of Rochelle for approximately $4,173,000 in cash.  Rochelle's wholly
owned subsidiary, Rochelle Savings Bank S.B., is an Illinois state chartered
savings bank with offices in Rochelle and Oregon, Illinois, and assets totaling
approximately $48,000,000.  This acquisition will be accounted for as a
purchase and the cash consideration paid for the outstanding shares
approximates the fair market value of tangible and intangible assets acquired
less the liabilities assumed.

As a part of this purchase, the Company will also acquire all of the
outstanding shares of Midland Acceptance Corporation (MAC), a financing
subsidiary with offices in Rochelle and Rockford, Illinois and assets  of
approximately $2,000,000.

Results of operations of Rochelle and MAC will be incorporated in the Company's
statements from the acquisition date forward.  The impact on the Company's net
income for the balance of 1997 is not expected to be significant.
