BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q.  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, the unaudited consolidated financial statements include
all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring accruals) considered
necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations
and cash flows for the interim periods. 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. 
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Results of operations and cash flows for the three month period ended 
March 31, 1997, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected
for the full year to end December 31, 1997.  These unaudited consolidated
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements, accounting policies and financial notes thereto included
in the Company's Annual Report and Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
1996 filed with the Commission.

WEIGHTED AVERAGE SHARES OUTSTANDING
Earnings per common share (EPS) is calculated by dividing net income by the
weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the
period.  The assumed exercise of stock options would not have a material
dilutive effect.  In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles,
certain shares held in suspense by the Company's employee stock ownership plan
(ESOP) are not considered outstanding until they are committed to be released
for allocation to participants' accounts.  The following table shows the
computation of the weighted average shares outstanding.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARD
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation," effective January 1, 1996, encourages, but does not
require, adoption of a fair-value-based accounting method for employee stock
options.  Management elected to continue to recognize compensation cost using
the intrinsic-value-based method of accounting in Accounting Principles Board
(APB) Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees."  However,
the nature of the Company's stock options is such that the accounting
treatment is the same under both pronouncements.  Compensation cost is
recorded during the service period of the optionees based on changes in the
book value of the shares since at the election of the optionees, when the
options are exercised, the Company is obligated to repurchase the shares at
book value.  If the Company's shares begin trading on an established market at
greater than book value such that optionees will likely not elect to put the
shares to the Company, the accrued compensation will be recognized as
additional consideration for the stock issued.

SFAS No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and
Extinguishments of Liabilities" as amended by SFAS No. 127, "Deferral of the
Effective Date of Certain Provisions of (SFAS) Statement No. 125," provides
accounting and reporting standards to distinguish transfers of financial
assets that are sales from transfers that are secured borrowings.  Generally,
the new standards are first applicable to transactions occurring after
December 31, 1997.  Adoption of SFAS No. 125 is not expected to have a
material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain matters disclosed herein may be deemed to be forward-looking
statements that involve risks and uncertainties, including regulatory policy
changes, interest rate fluctuations, loan demand, loan delinquencies and other
risks.  Actual strategies and results in future time periods may differ
materially from those currently expected.  Such forward-looking statements
represent the Company's judgment as of the current date.  The Company
disclaims, however, any intent or obligation to update such forward-looking
statements.  See Exhibit 99 attached hereto, which is incorporated herein by
reference.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS     
Net income for the first quarter of 1997 was $1,146,000, an increase of 6.4%
from the $1,077,000 earned in the first quarter of 1996.  The primary reasons
for the increase in earnings were an 8.5% increase in net interest income and
a 13.8% increase in non-interest income.  This quarter also showed a 33%
increase in provision for loan losses and a 7.8% increase in non-interest
expense.  Net income per share increased 7.1% to $.75 from $.70 for the first
quarter of 1996.

Net interest income was $3.9 million, $304,000 above the first quarter of
1996.  Average interest-earning assets increased $25.0 million (7.5%) to
$360.9 million.  The volume increase consisted primarily of an increase of
$25.0 million in loans and $2.4 million in securities, and a decrease of $2.4
million in federal funds sold.  The average yield increased from 8.34% to
8.37%.  Average interest-bearing liabilities increased 8.1% to $311.5 million
and their cost decreased to 4.62% from 4.71% in the first quarter of 1996. 
About half of the volume growth was in lower costing transaction accounts. 
Also, maturing fixed-rate certificates were repriced at lower current rates. 
As a result, net interest margin increased from 4.30% in the first quarter of
1996 to 4.38% in 1997.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition

                                  (Continued)

The provision for loan losses was increased to $200,000 for the first quarter
of 1997, compared to $150,000 for the same period in 1996.  The Bank has
increased its provision to reflect slightly higher net charge-offs so far this
year and growth in the loan portfolio.  Net charge-offs for the first quarter
of 1997 were .35% of average loans, compared to .07% for the prior year.

Installment loans are generally charged off if four payments have been missed. 
Generally, all other loans are placed on non-accrual status if they are 90
days or more delinquent.  A loan may remain on an accrual status after it is
90 days delinquent if it is reasonably certain the account will be settled in
its entirety or brought current within a 30-day period.  The current year's
accrued interest on loans placed on non-accrual status is charged against
earnings.  The previous year's accrued interest is charged against the
allowance for loan losses.  Cash payments received on non-accrual loans are
applied against principal until the balance is repaid.  Any remaining payments
are credited to earnings.  Non-performing loans include non-accrual loans,
renegotiated loans and ninety days or more past due loans.  All loans, except
one-to four-family real estate, which are ten days delinquent are sent to the
Collections Department for collection.  One- to four-family real estate loans
are sent when they are fifteen days delinquent.  As of March 31, 1997,
management knew of no significant loans not now disclosed that would cause
management to have serious doubts as to the ability of the borrowers to comply
with present loan repayment terms.

The following table sets forth certain information regarding the past-due,
non-accrual and renegotiated loans of the Bank at the dates indicated (in
thousands):

The increase in non-accrual loans from December 31, 1996, is attributable to
seven loans being placed on non-accrual totaling $283,000 and three loans
totaling $130,000 were either reestablished to accrual status or charged-off. 
Most of these loans should be worked out by the end of the third quarter;
three of these are anticipated to be long-term workouts.  Management believes
the value of the related collateral, if necessary to collect the principal
outstanding, limits the Bank's exposure to a potential loss of less than
$105,000, including costs of collection.  See Exhibit 99 attached hereto,
which is incorporated herein by reference.

Non-interest income was $716,000 for the first quarter 1997, an increase of
13.8% from the $629,000 earned in the first quarter of 1996.  Most categories
in this section have shown increases, although, increased trust income,
deposit service charges, and ATM fees accounted for the majority of the
improvement.

Non-interest expense increased 7.8% for the quarter over the same period in
1996.  Salaries increased 10.6% for the quarter due mostly to an increase of
13.2 full-time equivalent employees.  Benefits decreased 19.7% as a result of
lower expense related to retirement and stock option plans.  Equipment
expenses increased 45.4% from last year as a result of our continued
investment in current technology.  Occupancy expense increased 15.7% for the
quarter due to the main office renovation.  State franchise tax has increased
9.9% due to the increase in Company capital on which it is based.  Other
expense has increased 3.4% from the first quarter of last year.

Performance ratios for the first quarter of 1997 included an annualized return
on assets of 1.21%, and an annualized return on equity of 12.53%, compared to
1.22% and 12.61%, respectively, for the first quarter of 1996.

FINANCIAL CONDITION
Some of the changes that have occurred in InterCounty's financial condition
during 1997 are as follows (in thousands):



                            March 31   December 31     
                              1997        1996         Amount    Percent
                            --------   -----------     ------    -------
                                                         
Loans                      $270,118     269,282           836        -

Savings, NOW, MMDA
 deposits                   115,013     112,726         2,287        2
CD's $100,000 and over       22,363      18,788         3,575       19
Other time deposits         143,672     141,883         1,789        1
Short-term borrowings        37,503      31,113         6,390       21


The loan portfolio showed little change since year end in both balance and
structure.  The securities portfolio has increased because of additional
purchases of U.S. Agency callable bonds that have been funded through a
similar amount of short-term borrowing from Federal Home Loan Bank.  The Bank
continues to use this strategy on a limited basis to enhance earnings. 
Deposit growth has occurred in interest-bearing transaction accounts and large
certificates of deposit.  Book value per share was $24.03 compared to $23.86
at December 31, 1996.  Equity to assets was 9.43% compared to 9.66% at the end
of last year.

Total assets grew 6.8% from the first quarter of 1996, to a total of $394.2
million.  Total loans increased to $270.1 million, an increase of 9.5%. 
Commercial and installment loans continue to provide the majority of the
internal growth.  Commercial loan average grew $15.1 million (17.6%), and
installment loan average grew $9.3 million (13.0%).  The securities portfolio
average has grown 2.7% through the use of excess liquidity.  Total deposits
increased 6.1% to $315.6 million.  Non-interest bearing deposits remained
about the same as last year.  Average interest-bearing liabilities grew $23.3
million, or 8.1%.  Average interest-bearing transaction accounts increased
$12.3 million (18.6%), and average retail certificates increased $11.2 million
(8.5%).  Total equity increased 9.0% to $37.2 million at March 31, 1997.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The maintenance of an adequate level of liquidity is necessary to ensure that
sufficient funds are available to meet customers' loan demand and deposit
withdrawal.  InterCounty manages liquidity on both the asset and liability
side of the balance sheet.  The loan to total funds ratio at March 31, 1997
was 76%, compared to 74% for the same date in 1996.  Management strives to
keep this ratio below 80%.  The securities portfolio is primarily "available
for sale" securities that are readily marketable.  Approximately 44% of the
portfolio is pledged to secure public deposits and for other purposes as
required by law.  The balance of the "available for sale" portfolio could be
sold if necessary for liquidity purposes.  Also a stable deposit base,
consisting of 94% core deposits, makes the Bank less susceptible to large
fluctuations in funding needs.

The Federal Reserve Board has adopted risk-based capital guidelines which
assign risk weightings to assets and off-balance sheet items and also define
and set minimum capital requirements (risk-based capital ratios).  Bank
holding companies must maintain total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based and Tier 1
leverage ratios of 8%, 4% and 3%, respectively.  At March 31, 1997,
InterCounty had a total risk-based capital ratio of 14.23%, a Tier 1 risk-
based capital ratio of 13.29%, and a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 9.43%.
