                           MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND
                         ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

     COMPARISON OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AT JUNE 30, 1997 AND SEPTEMBER 30, 1996.

     The Bank's total assets  increased by $3.4 million or 3.8% to $93.9 million
for the nine months  ended June 30,  1997 from $90.5  million at  September  30,
1996. Total net loans were $40.2 million or 60.6% of total deposits at September
30, 1996 as compared  to $50.6  million or 72.1 % of total  deposits at June 30,
1997,  representing an increase of $10.3 million.  Investment securities held by
the Bank  decreased by $10.6 million from $45.6 million at September 30, 1996 to
$34.9  million at June 30, 1997.  The proceeds  from  maturing  securities  were
allocated  to fund the  increased  volume of loan  production,  with the balance
redeployed into short-term  securities  investments.  Total deposits at June 30,
1997 were $70.1  million and $66.4 million at September 30, 1996, an increase of
$3.7 million. The deposit increase was primarily the result of the Bank's branch
opening on February 12, 1997.  Net worth was $21.9 million at September 30, 1996
as  compared  to  stockholders'  equity of $22.4  million at June 30,  1997,  an
increase of $496,000 which was the result of earnings from normal operations for
the nine month period less $206,000 in cash dividends paid  stockholders  during
the  last   three   quarters.   Additionally,   the  net   unrealized   gain  on
available-for-sale  securities decreased $27,000, from $143,000 at September 31,
1996 to $116,000 at June 30,  1997.  There was an increase of $50,000 from March
31, 1997.

COMPARISON OF OPERATING RESULTS

     THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 AND 1996.

     Net Income.  The Bank's net income for the three months ended June 30, 1997
was  $172,000 as compared to $175,000  for the three months ended June 30, 1996.
The $3,000 decrease in net income was primarily the result of an increase in net
interest  and  dividend  income of  $35,000,  a decrease  in the  provision  for
possible loan losses of $9,000, an increase of $14,000 in other income which was
off set by a  combination  of an  increase in other  expenses of $101,000  and a
decrease in taxes of $42,000.

     Interest  Income.  Total interest and dividend  income for the three months
ended June 30, 1997 was $1.5  million,  an  increase of $34,000 as compared  the
three months ended June 30, 1996.  The increase in interest and dividend  income
was due  primarily  to a $216,000  increase  in  interest  income on loans and a
$183,000 decrease in dividends on investment securities.

     Interest Expense. Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 1997
was $682,000,  a decrease of $1,000 as compared to $683,000 for the three months
ended June 30, 1996. The decrease in interest  expense was due to lower interest
rates on deposits.

     Net Interest  Income.  Net interest  income for the three months ended June
30, 1997 was  $840,000 as compared to $805,000  for the three  months ended June

June 30, 1997 was 75 basis points,  an decrease of 4 basis points as compared to
the same period of the prior year.  The primary  reason for the  decrease in the

of which came in the least quarter as a result of the growth  contributed by the
new branch.

ended June 30, 1997 was  $43,000 as  compared  to $29,000  for the three  months

on the sale of securities.

three months ended June 30, 1996 to $619,000 for the three months ended June 30,
