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, 1998, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected
for the full year to end December 31, 1998.  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,
1997 filed with the Commission.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation," effective January 1, 1996, encouraged, but did 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."  The nature
of the Company's agreements with optionees prior to 1997 was such that the
accounting treatment was the same under both pronouncements.  Prior to 1997,
compensation cost was recorded because the Company had a contingent obligation
to repurchase the shares.  During 1997, all outstanding option agreements were
revised, eliminating the Company's contingent obligation.  Because recording
compensation cost is no longer appropriate under APB No. 25, beginning in 1997
the Company is disclosing the proforma information required by SFAS No. 123.

SFAS No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and
Extinguishments of Liabilities" provides accounting and reporting standards to
distinguish transfers of financial assets that are sales from transfers that
are secured borrowings.  Adoption of SFAS No. 125 had no effect on the 1998
and 1997 consolidated financial statements.  

Effective January 1, 1998, the Company adopted SFAS No. 130, "Reporting
Comprehensive Income."  The new rules establish standards for reporting of
comprehensive income and its components in financial statements.
Comprehensive income consists of net income and other gains and losses
affecting shareholders' equity that, under generally accepted accounting
principles, are excluded from net income.  For the Company, such items consist
solely of unrealized gains and losses on investment securities available for
sale.  The adoption of SFAS No. 130 did not affect the consolidated statement

of income, but did affect the presentation of the Company's consolidated
statement of changes in shareholders' equity and consolidated balance sheet.

SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information" requires financial and descriptive information about operating
segments of a business.  The consolidated statement also requires companies to
report revenues for each major product and service.  It is effective for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997.  SFAS No. 131 will result in
additional financial statement disclosures, with no effect on the Company's
reported consolidated financial position or net income. SFAS No. 131 is not
required for interim financial reporting purposes during 1998.  The Company is
in the process of assessing the additional disclosures, if any, required by
SFAS No. 131.

SFAS No. 132, "Employers' Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement
Benefits", effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997,
revises current disclosure requirements.  It does not change the measurement
or recognition of the obligation or costs associated with employer provided
postretirement benefits.  The effects of this statement are limited to defined
benefit plans.  The Company terminated its only defined benefit plan in 1997
and, accordingly, this statement will not change the nature of its
postretirement benefit disclosures. 
		
EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTIONS
The Company applies APB No. 25 in accounting for its stock option plans.
Had compensation expense for the Company's stock options granted after 1996
been recognized under the methodology prescribed in SFAS No. 123, the

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
losses, 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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net income for the first quarter of 1998 was $1,173,000, an increase of 2.4%
from the $1,146,000 earned in the first quarter of 1997.  The primary reasons
for the increase in earnings were a 3.8% increase in net interest income and a
24.2% increase in non-interest income.  This quarter also showed a 12.5%
increase in provision for loan losses and a 10.1% increase in non-interest
expense.  Net income per share increased 1.3% to $.76 from $.75 for the first
quarter of 1997.  

Net interest income was $4.0 million, 3.8% above the first quarter of 1997.
Average interest-earning assets increased $46.0 million (12.7%) to $406.9
million.  The volume increase consisted primarily of $6.3 million in loans,
$25.3 million in securities, and an increase of $14.0 million in federal funds
sold.  The average yield  on interest-earning assets decreased from 8.34% to
8.11%.  Average interest-bearing liabilities increased 13.2% to $352.6 million
and their cost increased to 4.73% from 4.62% in the first quarter of 1997.
Most of the volume growth in interest-bearing liabilities was in additional
borrowing from the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) to fund U.S. Agency mortgage-
backed securities purchases.  Also, more aggressive bidding on certificates
over $100,000 resulted in an increase of $8.2 million in the average balance.
As a result, net interest margin decreased from 4.35% in the first quarter of
1997 to 4.01% in 1998.  

The provision for loan losses was increased to $225,000 for the first quarter
of 1998, compared to $200,000 for the same period in 1997.  Net charge offs
for the first quarter of 1998 were .06% of average loans, compared to .09% 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.  Loans that are
ten days delinquent, excluding one- to four-family real estate loans, 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, 1998, 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.

There has been no significant change in non-accrual loans from December 31,
1997.  Most of these loans are collateralized with first mortgages, one with
a second mortgage, and three with both equipment and second mortgages as
collateral.  All but four are expected to be resolved this year, and those
four are expected to be loan-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 $60,000. Management has
also identified a $495,000 loan collateralized by receivables not included
in the non-performing totals above that is in jeopardy of default.  This
loan is in the process of being worked out, and there is a 50% chance that
it will be collected in full.

At March 31, 1998, the Bank's allowance for loan losses totaled $2.82 million
and was allocated primarily to the consumer segment of the loan portfolio.
A similar allocation existed for all other dates presented.  The following

Non-interest income was $888,000 for the first quarter of 1998, an increase
of 24.2% from the $715,000 earned in the first quarter of 1997.  Most
categories in this section have shown increases.  Trust income increased
20.4% and deposit service charges were up 12.5%.  Loan related insurance and
processing fees were up $130,000 (259%) due primarily to an increase of
$74,000 in the annual experience-related rebate on credit life insurance
sales.  
		
Non-interest expense increased 10.1% for the quarter over the same period in
1997.  Salaries and benefits increased 9.9% for the quarter due mostly to an
increase of 12 full-time equivalent employees.  The increase was the result
of opening a new branch office in Hillsboro and additional support staff in
various areas of the Bank.  Equipment expense increased 6.7% from last year
and occupancy expense increased 4.1% for the quarter.  State franchise tax
has increased 10.6% due to the increase in Bank capital on which it is 
based.  Other expense has increased 13.6% from the first quarter of last
year.

The loan portfolio showed little change since year end in both balance and
structure.  The securities portfolio has decreased slightly because of calls
of U.S. Agency callable bonds.  Deposit growth has occurred in interest-
bearing transaction accounts and large certificates of deposit.  Book value
per share was $26.92 compared to $26.45 at December 31, 1997.  Equity to
assets was 9.56% compared to 9.37% at the end of last year.

Total assets grew 11.0% from the first quarter of 1997, to a total of $437.5
million.  Over the same period, total loans increased to $276.0 million, an
increase of 2.2%. Commercial loan average grew $6.6 million (6.6%), and
continues to provide the majority of increase in the portfolio.  The
securities portfolio average has grown $25.3 million (27.7%) from the first
quarter of last year through purchases funded with borrowings from the FHLB.
Total deposits increased 4.8% to $330.8 million.  Average non-interest
bearing deposits increased 9.6% from the first quarter of last year.  Average
interest-bearing liabilities grew $41.1 million (13.2%), of which $25.7
million was increased FHLB borrowing.  Average interest-bearing transaction
accounts increased $3.9 million (3.4%), and average retail certificates
increased $1.9 million (1.4%).  Total equity increased 12.5% since March
31, 1997, to $41.8 million at March 31, 1998.

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, 1998
was 70%, compared to 76% for the same date in 1997.  Management strives to
keep this ratio below 80%.  The securities portfolio is primarily "available
for sale" securities that are readily marketable.  Approximately 50% of the
 
                                    -11-

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 93% 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, 1998,
InterCounty had a total risk-based capital ratio of 15.05%, a Tier 1 risk-
based capital ratio of 14.08%, and a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 9.44%.
