NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 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 $854,000 for the first nine months of
1999 compared to $773,000 for the same period of 1998. On a per share basis, the
net income was $7.24 for the first nine months of 1999 compared to $6.49 for the
same period of 1998. The Company recorded a provision for possible loan losses
of $0 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Net
interest income increased 2.7% to $2,478,000 for the first nine months of 1999
compared to $2,414,000 for the same period of 1998.
Total assets were $77,422,000 at September 30, 1999, an increase of
$9,462,000 from September 30, 1998. Loans decreased by $1,401,000 or 5% from
$28,283,000 at September 30, 1998 to $26,882,000 at September 30, 1999. Deposits
increased by $9,221,000 or 15.9% from $58,090,000 at September 30, 1998 to
$67,311,000 at September 30, 1999.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
NET INTEREST INCOME. Net interest income for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999 totaled $2,478,000, a $64,000 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 nine
month period ended September 30, 1999 was favorable.
PROVISION FOR POSSIBLE LOAN LOSSES. The Company recorded no provision for
possible loan losses for both the first nine 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 2.15% and 2.09% at September 30, 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 nine month period ended September 30, 1999
noninterest income increased $49,000 or 11.5% compared to the same period of
1998. Service charges on deposit accounts increased by $47,000 or 12.9% compared
to the same period of 1998. Part of this increase is the result of an increase
in deposit accounts for the nine months period ended September 30, 1999.
There were no securities gains in the nine month periods ended September 30,
1999 and 1998.
10
NONINTEREST EXPENSE. For the first nine months of 1999 noninterest expense
increased $27,000 or 1.5% compared to the same period in 1998.
Salaries and employee benefits , the largest component of noninterest expense,
increased by $65,000 or 7.5% for the first nine months of 1999 as compared to
the same period in 1998. This increase was attributed to an overall increase is
salaries as well as an increase in the employee medical insurance.
Other non-interest expense increased by $42,000 or 8.9% for the first nine
months of 1999 as compared to the same period of 1998. Included in this increase
was an increase in professional fees of $19,000 or 63% for the first nine months
of 1999 compared to the same period of 1998. This increase is the result of 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 by 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. These systems and processes have been tested.
INCOME TAXES. The Company recorded provisions for income taxes of $327,000
for the nine month period ended September 30, 1999 as compared to $322,000 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 $26,882,000 at September 30, 1999; down by $1,401,000

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.
Non-performing assets totaled $84,000 at September 30, 1999, a $114,000 (57.6%)
decrease from September 30, 1998. The composition of nonperforming assets are
illustrated below:

DEPOSITS. As of September 30, 1999 total deposits have increased by
$9,221,000 or 15.9% from September 30, 1998. Noninterest bearing deposits
increased by $3,733,000 or 19.4% from September 30, 1998 to September 30, 1999.
Interest bearing deposits increased by $5,488,000 or 14.1% from September 30,
1998 to September 30, 1999.
CAPITAL. Shareholders' equity totaled $9,718,000 at September 30, 1999,
compared to $9,410,000 at September 30, 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 $1,773,000 at September 30,
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.
