NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 1999
NOTE 1 - A BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with generally
accepted principles of accounting for instructions to Form 10-Q
and Article 10 of Regulations S-X. Accordingly, they do not
include all of the information and footnotes required by
generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial
statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
(consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary
for a fair presentation have been included.
NOTE 2 - IMPAIRED LOANS
On January 1, 1995 the Company adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 114, "Accounting by
Creditors for Impairment of a Loan." The adoption of SFAS No.
114 did not have a material impact on the financial condition
or operating results of the Company. Interest payments received
on impaired loans are applied to principal if there is doubt as
to the collectibility of the principal; otherwise, these
receipts are recorded as interest income.
As it relates to in-substance foreclosures, SFAS No. 114
requires that a creditor continue to follow loan classification
on the balance sheet unless the creditor receives physical
possession of the collateral. The Company had no in-substance
foreclosures in foreclosed assets to transfer to nonperforming
loans and no related reserve for losses to transfer to the
reserve for possible loan losses.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Management's Discussion presents a review of the major factors and trends
affecting the performance of the Company and its bank subsidiary and should be
read in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated financial statements and
notes.
OVERVIEW
The Company reported net income of $ 264,000 for the first three months
of 1999 compared to $ 245,000 for the same period of 1998. On a per share
basis, the net income was $ 2.23 for the first three months of 1999 compared to
$ 2.06 for the same period of 1998. The Company recorded a provision for
possible loan losses of $ 0 for the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998,
respectively. Net interest income increased 1.1% to $ 803,000 for the first
three months of 1999 compared to $ 794,000 for the same period of 1998.
Total assets were $ 75,977,000 at March 31, 1999, an increase of
$ 8,153,000 from March 31, 1998. Loans decreased by $ 2,860,000 or 10.2% from
$ 27,896,000 at March 31, 1998 to $ 25,036,000 at March 31, 1999. Deposits
increased by $ 7,222,000 or 12.3% from $ 58,706,000 at March 31, 1998 to
$ 65,928,000 at March 31, 1999.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
NET INTEREST INCOME. Net interest income for the three months ended March
31, 1999 totaled $ 803,000, a $ 9,000 increase from the same period in 1998.
Factors contributing to this increase include an increase in the average
balance of investment securities and federal funds sold. This positive effect
was partially negated by a decrease in the average balance of loans. The
overall effect of volume and rate changes on net interest income during the
three month period ended March 31, 1999 was favorable.
PROVISION FOR POSSIBLE LOAN LOSSES. The Company recorded no provision for
possible loan losses for both the first three months of 1999 and 1998. The
absence of a provision is the result of continued improvements in asset quality
and low net charge offs of loans. As a percentage of outstanding loans, the
allowance for possible loan losses was 2.32% and 2.12% at March 31, 1999 and
1998, respectively. The provision is determined by the level of net charge
offs, the size of the loan portfolio, the level of nonperforming loans,
anticipated economic conditions, and review of financial condition of specific
customers.
NONINTEREST INCOME. For the first three months of 1999 noninterest
income increased $ 18,000 or 12.1% compared to the same period of 1998.
Service charges on deposit accounts increased by $ 20,000 or 16.9% compared to
the same period of 1998. Part of this increase is the result of an increase in
deposit accounts for the first quarter of 1999.
There were no securities gains in the three month periods ended March 31, 1999
and 1998.
10
NONINTEREST EXPENSE. For the first three months of 1999 noninterest
expense increased $ 13,000 or 2.2% compared to the same period in 1998.
Salaries and employee benefits , the largest component of noninterest expense,
increased by $ 25,000 or 9.2% for the first three months of 1999 as compared
to the same period in 1998. This increase was attributed to an overall increase
in salaries as well as an increase in the employee medical insurance .
Other non-interest expense increased by $ 15,000 or 8.6% for the first three
months of 1999 as compared to the same period of 1998. Included in this
increase was an increase in data processing expenses of $ 5,000 or 26.3% for
the first three months of 1999 compared to the same period of 1998. This
increase was primarily due to expenses related to continued improvements in
technology and Year 2000 compliance.
The Company expects to continue incurring charges related to Year 2000
compliance; however, these costs have not been material to date and are not
expected to have a material impact on the Company's earnings in the future.
The Company formed the "Y2K (Year 2000) Steering Committee" in 1997 to address
the Year 2000 issue. The objective of this committee was to detail a plan of
action for conversion of its computer applications to Year 2000 compliant
applications, to ensure compliance with all "Federal Financial Institutions
Examination Council" regulations regarding the Year 2000 by the end of the
second quarter 1999, and to ensure uninterrupted service to its customers. The
Bank has undertaken an extensive awareness campaign both internally and
externally in an effort to maintain heightened awareness of Year 2000
implications to its employees, Board of Directors, suppliers, and customers.
The Bank developed a comprehensive inventory and risk assessment plan to
identify all systems and processes which could potentially be effected by the
century date change. Because core processing systems are acquired from third
party vendors, the Bank has very little control over the remediation of these
systems. However, the Bank has maintained close contact with its core system
and all other vendors identified in the inventory and risk assessment,
complying with FFIEC guidelines regarding assessment of the status of these
third party vendor's Year 2000 readiness efforts. As of March 31, 1999, all of
the Bank's core processing systems have been replaced or upgraded with Year
2000 compliant systems and software. The majority of these systems and
processes have been tested.
INCOME TAXES. The Company recorded provisions for income taxes of $
99,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 1999 as compared to $ 104,000
for the same period of 1998. Effective January 1, 1992, the company adopted
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income
Taxes." Due to limitations related to the valuation of deferred tax assets,
there was no cumulative effect adjustment at adoption.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
LOANS. Loans were $ 25,036,000 at March 31, 1999; down by $ 2,860,000 or
10.3% from March 31, 1998.

TABLE III - NONPERFORMING ASSETS
Non-performing assets include nonaccrual loans, loans which are contractually
90 days past due, restructured loans, and foreclosed assets. Restructured loans
are loans which, due to a deteriorated financial condition of the borrower,
have a below market yield. Interest payments received on nonperforming loans
are applied to reduce principal if there is doubt as to the collectibility of
the principal; otherwise, these receipts are recorded as interest income.
Certain nonperforming loans are current as to principal and interest payments
are classified as nonperforming because there is a question concerning full
collectibility of both principal and interest.
Nonperforming assets totaled $ 51,000 at March 31, 1999, a $ 227,000 (81.6%)
decrease from March 31, 1998. The composition of nonperforming assets are
illustrated below:

DEPOSITS. As of March 31, 1999 total deposits have increased by
$ 7,222,000 or 12.3% from March 31, 1998. Noninterest bearing deposits increased
by $ 4,992,000 or 26.9% from March 31, 1998 to March 31, 1999. Interest
bearing deposits increased by $ 2,230,000 or 5.6% from March 31, 1998 to March
31, 1999.
CAPITAL. Shareholders' equity totaled $ 9,618,000 at March 31, 1999,
compared to $ 8,740,000 at March 31, 1998. The increase is primarily the result
of net income over the most recent 12 months. Risk-based capital and leverage
ratios for the Company and the bank subsidiary exceed the ratios required for
the designation as a "well-capitalized" institution under regulatory
guidelines.

INSIDERS. Directors, executive officers and 10% shareholders and their
related interest had loans outstanding totaling $ 1,259,000 at March 31, 1999.
CONTINGENT LIABILITIES. In the normal course of business, the bank
becomes involved in legal proceedings. It is the opinion of management that the
resulting liability, if any, for pending litigation is negligible.
