General The consolidated financial statements in this report have not been audited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods have been made.

(the "Corporation"), and its subsidiary for the nine months ended September 30, 1997, and 1996, compared. This review should be used in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included in the Form 10-Q. Net income after taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 1997, was $1,253,606, an increase of $147,640 or 13.35%, as compared to $1,105,966 for the same period in 1996. Net income's improvement was due to a higher net interest margin. Net earnings per share increased to $2.43 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997, as compared to $2.14 in 1996. Net interest income through the nine months increased 11.69% to $5,056,349. The net interest margin increased to 4.71% for the first nine months of 1997 as compared to 4.54% for the same period in 1996. Total interest income increased $873,521, or 10.63%, to $9,090,111 in 1997, from $8,216,590 in 1996. Average interest earning assets were $143,039,566 for the first nine months 1997, as compared to $132,927,240 for the same period in 1996, an increase of $10,112,326, or 7.61%. The average rate earned in 1997 on earning assets was 8.48% as compared to 8.25% in 1996 reflecting rising interest rates during 1997, as the Federal Reserve Board raised rates 25 basis points, causing prime to move to 8.50%. The increase in total interest income in 1997 is also attributed to an increase in the volume of earning assets. Total interest expense increased by $344,166, or 9.33%, in 1997 to $4,033,762 from $3,689,596 in 1996. Average interest bearing liabilities increased to $118,698,363 in 1997 from $106,384,099 in 1996, an increase of $12,314,264, or 11.58%. The average rate paid rose to 4.70% in 1997, from 4.63% in 1996. This slight increase is attributed the increase in volume of certificates of deposit. The provision for loan losses increased to $280,0000 for the first nine months of 1997 as compared to $128,250 for the same period in 1996 Net charged-off loans for the first nine months of 1997 were $118,250, as compared to $83,243 for the same period in 1996. 8 9 The allowance for possible loan losses represents 1.64% of gross loans (excluding bankers acceptances and commercial paper) at September 30, 1997, as compared to 1.65% at year-end 1996. Loans on which the accrual of interest had been discontinued or reduced amounted to $297,605 at September 30, 1997, as compared to $339,016 at December 31, 1996. the allowance for loan losses remains adequate given the growth in loans and based upon the risks in the portfolio. Total noninterest income increased to $1,178,835 for the first nine months of 1997, as compared to $936,735 for the same period in 1996, an increase of $242,100, or 25.85%. Investment security losses were $16,883 for the first nine months of 1997, as compared to $34,964 in 1996.

Other income increased during the first nine months of 1997 to $410,983 from $158,183 in 1996, an increase of $252,800, or 159.81%. This increase is accounted for primarily by an insurance settlement received from Progressive Insurance company. Total noninterest expense increased $368,182, or 9.77%, to $4,136,637 during the first nine months of 1997, as compared to $3,768,455 for the same period in 1996. Salaries and benefits increased to $2,244,291 in 1997 from $1,993,254 in 1996, an increase of $251,037, or 12.59%. This increase is due to the opening of a new branch, a new department and other broker for the financial services division. Occupancy expense increased $113,414, or 21.24% to $647,489 in 1997 from $534,075 in 1996.

The FDIC Fund became fully capitalized which resulted in the 2,000 in 1996, but in an effort to recapitalize the SAIF fund the premiums have increased. Earnings before taxes for the first nine months of 1997 increased $251,523, or 16.05%, to $1,818,547 from $1,567,024 for the same period in 1996 Due to higher operating profits, income tax expense increased to $564,941 in 1997 from $461,058 in 1996, an increase of $103,883, or 22.53%. 9 10 Three Months Ended September 30, 1997, and 1996, Compared Net earnings for the three months ended September 30, 1997 was $374,138, a decrease of $21,599, or 5.46% from $395,737,for the same period last year.

Average interest earning assets increased to $147,213,409 in 1997, from $135,099,885 in 1996, an increase of $12,113,525, or 8.97%.
