                     GREATER BAY BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARIES

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 JUNE 30, 1997
                                  (UNAUDITED)

1.      BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Greater Bay Bancorp (referred to as the "Company" when such reference includes
Greater Bay Bancorp and its subsidiaries, collectively, or "Greater Bay" when
referring only to the parent company) is a California corporation and bank
holding company that was incorporated on November 14, 1984 as San Mateo County
Bancorp.  The name was changed to Mid-Peninsula Bancorp on October 7, 1994 as a
result of the merger between San Mateo County Bancorp and Mid-Peninsula Bancorp.
Subsequently, the name was changed to Greater Bay Bancorp on November 27, 1996,
as a result of the merger between Mid-Peninsula Bancorp and Cupertino National
Bancorp.  Upon consummation of the merger with Cupertino National Bancorp, the
Company became a multi-bank holding company with wholly owned bank subsidiaries,
Mid-Peninsula Bank ("MPB") and Cupertino National Bank & Trust ("CNB"),
collectively the "Banks".   MPB commenced operations in October 1987 and is a
state chartered bank regulated by the Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) and the
California State Banking Department.  CNB commenced operations in May 1985 and
is a national banking association regulated by the Office of the Comptroller of
Currency (OCC). The mergers were accounted for as a pooling of interests.
Accordingly, all of the financial information for the Company for the periods
prior to the merger have been restated to reflect the pooling of interests as if
it occurred at the beginning of the earliest reporting period presented.  The
accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
the Company. These financial statements reflect, in management's opinion, all
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair
presentation of the Company's financial position and the results of its
operations and cash flows for the periods presented.  Certain amounts for prior
periods have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.  The
results of operations for the quarter and year-to-date periods ended June 30,
1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for any subsequent
quarter or for the entire year ending December 31, 1997.  These financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements included
in the 1996 Annual Report to Shareholders.

2.      CONSOLIDATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The consolidation financial statements include the accounts of GBB and its
wholly-owned subsidiaries, CNB and MPB.  All significant intercompany
transactions and balances have been eliminated.  Certain reclassifications have
been made to prior years' consolidation financial statements to conform to the
1996 presentation.  The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform
to generally accepted accounting principles and to prevailing practices within
the banking industry.

3.      USE OF ESTIMATES IN THE PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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 certain assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of certain revenues and expenses
during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

4.      COMPANY OBLIGATED MANDATORILY REDEEMABLE CAPITAL SECURITIES OF GBB
        CAPITAL I

On March 30, 1997, GBB Capital I (the "Trust"), a Delaware business trust 
wholly-owned by Greater Bay completed a public offering of 800,000 shares of
9.75% cumulative trust preferred securities ("TPS"). The Trust used the proceeds
from the offering to purchase a like amount of 9.75% Junior Subordinated
Deferrable Interest Debentures (the "Debentures") of Greater Bay. The Debentures
are the sole assets of the Trust and are eliminated along with the related
income statement effects, in the consolidated financial statements. Greater Bay

                                   6 of 24

 
invested approximately 58.5% of the proceeds in CNB and MPB to increase their
capital levels to support future growth. The remaining proceeds will be used for
general corporate purposes.

The TPS accrue and pay distributions quarterly at an annual rate of 9.75% of the
liquidation amount of $25 per TPS share. Greater Bay has fully and
unconditionally guaranteed all of the obligations of the Trust.

The TPS are mandatory redeemable, in whole or in part, upon repayment of
the Debentures at the stated maturity or their earlier redemption.  The
Debentures are redeemable prior to maturity (April 1, 2027) at the option of
Greater Bay, on or after April, 2002, in whole at any time or in part from time
to time.

See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations-Capital Resources" for discussion of Tier I Capital.

5.      SHARE AND PER SHARE AMOUNTS

Earnings per common and common equivalent shares are calculated based upon the
weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period, plus equivalent
shares representing the effect of dilutive stock options.  The number of shares
used to compute earnings per share were 3,555,992 and 3,262,295 for the three
months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.  The number of shares used to
compute earnings per share were 3,526,140 and 3,267,000 for the six months ended
June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

Earnings per share are based on the weighted average shares of common stock
outstanding plus common equivalent shares using the treasury stock method.  The
treasury stock method calculation assumes all dilutive common stock equivalent
are exercised and the funds generated by the exercise are used to buy back
outstanding common stock at the average market price during the reporting
period, for primary earnings per share, or at the end of period market price if
higher, for fully diluted earnings per share.

In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earning Per Share" ("SFAS 128").  SFAS
128 is designed to improve the earnings per share ("EPS") information provided
in the financial statements by simplifying the existing computational
guidelines, revising the disclosure requirements, and increasing the
comparability of EPS data on an international basis.  SFAS 128 is effective for
financial statements issued for periods ending after December 15, 1997,
including interim periods.  Earlier application is not permitted.  The Company
will implement SFAS 128 in its December 31, 1997 financial statements.  The
Company believes the impact of SFAS 128 will not have a material effect on its
earnings per share calculation.

6.      CASH DIVIDEND

The Company paid a quarterly cash dividend of $.15 per share on April 21, 1997
to shareholders of record on April 7, 1997 and a quarterly cash dividend of $.15
per share on July 15, 1997 to shareholders of record on June 30, 1997.

                     GREATER BAY BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARIES
                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The Company was formed as a result of a merger between Cupertino National
Bancorp, the holding company for CNB, and Mid-Peninsula Bancorp, the holding
company for MPB.  The merger, which has been accounted for as a pooling of
interests, was consummated in late November 1996.  All of the financial
information of the Company for the periods prior to the merger has been restated
as if it occurred at the beginning of the earliest reporting periods presented.

The following discussion and analysis is intended to provide greater details of
the results of operations and financial condition of the Company.  The following
discussion should be read in conjunction with the information in the Company's
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and other financial data
included elsewhere herein.  Certain statements under this caption constitute
"forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Reform
Act of 1995, and as such, may involve risks and uncertainties.  The Company's
actual results, performance and achievements may differ materially from the
results, performance and achievements expressed or implied in such forward-
looking statements   Factors that might cause such a difference include, but are
not limited to, economic conditions, competition in the geographic and business
areas in which the Company conducts its operations, fluctuations in interest
rates, credit quality and governmental regulation.

OVERVIEW

The Company reported net income for the second quarter of 1997 of $1.95 million
or $0.55 per common and common equivalent share, compared to net income of $1.3
million or $0.40 per common and common equivalent share, reported in the second
quarter of last year.  Return on average assets annualized for the second
quarters of 1997 and 1996 were 1.11% and 1.04% respectively, while the
annualized return on average common equity was 16.30% for the second quarter of
1997, compared with 12.48% for the second quarter of 1996.

The earnings for the second quarter of 1997 includes $1.1 million in warrant
income resulting from the exercise of warrants and sale of the underlying shares
of common stock in two of the clients of the Banks.  The Company occasionally
receives warrants to acquire common stock from companies that are in the start-
up or development phase.  The timing and amount of income derived from the
exercise and sale of client warrants typically depend upon factors beyond the
control of the Company, and cannot be predicted with any degree of accuracy and
are likely to vary materially from period to period.

For the six months ended June 30, 1997, the Company reported net income of $3.7
million, or $1.05 per common and common equivalent share, compared to net 
income of $2.6 million, or $0.78 per common and common equivalent share for the
comparable period in 1996.  The annualized return on average assets and return
on average equity for the first six months of 1997 were 1.12% and 15.64%,
respectively.

Non performing assets (including nonaccrual loans, loans 90 days past due and
still accruing and other real estate owned ("OREO")) totaled $3.5 million at
June 30, 1997, an increase of $233,000 from December 31, 1996, and a decrease of
$290,000 from June 30, 1996.  The ratio of nonperforming assets to loans plus
foreclosed properties was .67% at June 30, 1997, down from .73% at December 31,
1996 and down from 1.14% at June 30, 1996.

The reserve for loan losses was $10.9 million at June 30, 1997, compared with
$7.3 million at December 31, 1996 and $5.0 million at June 30, 1996.  The
provision for loan losses was $2.1 million for the second quarter of 

                                   8 of 24

 
1997, compared to $365,000 recorded in the second quarter of 1996 (see
discussion below). Net charge-offs were $306,000 for the second quarter of 1997
and $168,000 for the second quarter of 1996. The ratio of the reserve for loan
losses to nonperforming assets was 312% at June 30, 1997, compared with 224% at
December 31, 1996 and 131% at June 30, 1996. The ratio of the reserve for loan
losses to total loans was 2.08% at June 30, 1997 compared with 1.63% at December
31, 1996 and 1.49% at June 30, 1996.

The provision for loan losses for each year is dependent on many factors,
including loan growth, net charge-offs, changes in the composition of the loan
portfolio, delinquencies, management's assessment of the quality of the loan
portfolio, the value of the underlying collateral on problem loans and the
general economic conditions in the Company's market area.   Specific allocations
are made for loans where the probability of a loss can be defined and reasonably
determined, while the balance of the provision for loan losses is based on
historical data, delinquency trends, economic conditions in the Company's market
area and industry averages.  Annual fluctuations in the provision for loan
losses result from management's assessment of the adequacy of the allowance for
loan losses.

Shareholders' equity increased $3.8 million to $48.5 million, or 6.74% of
assets, at June 30, 1997, from $44.7 million or 7.18% of assets at December 31,
1996.  The increase was primarily due to net earnings and stock purchased by
directors and employees through stock option and stock purchase plans and
partially offset by the first quarter cash dividend payment of $.15 per common
share that was declared on March 17, 1997 to shareholders of record as of April
7, 1997, totaling $495,000, and the second quarter cash dividend of $.15 per
common share that was declared on June 18, 1997 to shareholders of record as of
June 30, 1997, totaling $499,000.

The Company's Tier 1 and total risk-based capital ratios were 11.69% and 13.46%
at June 30, 1997, respectively, compared with 8.75% and 10.54% at December 31,
1996, respectively.  The leverage ratio increased to 9.74% at June 30, 1997,
from 7.27% at December 31, 1996.  At June 30, 1997, the Company's risk-based
capital and leverage ratios, as well as those of the Banks, exceeded the ratios
for a well-capitalized financial institution as defined in FDICIA under the
prompt corrective action regulations.  The Company will seek to maintain its
well capitalized position to ensure flexibility in its operations.

GBB's common stock closed at $30.75 per share on June 30, 1997, representing
approximately 211% of the $14.57 book value per common share, compared with
$24.38 per share and 177% of the $13.80 book value per common share at December
31, 1996.

In the analysis, the change due to both the rate and volume have been allocated
proportionately.

The Company's net interest income for the second quarter of 1997 was $9.4
million, a $1.0 million increase over the first quarter of 1997 and a $2.6
million increase over the second quarter of 1996.  When compared to the first
quarter of 1997, average earning assets increased by $78.6 million, while the
net yield on average earning assets decreased from 5.79% in the first quarter of
1997 to 5.68% in the second quarter of 1997.  The increase in net interest
income was primarily due to an increase in the volume of interest-earning
assets.

Compared to the second quarter of 1996, average earning assets during the second
quarter of 1997 increased by $193.9 million.  Average loans in the second
quarter of 1997 increased by $186.1 million, or 58.3%  over the second quarter
of 1996, which was also the primary reason average interest-earning assets
increased. The Company's average interest-bearing deposits grew $136 million and
non-interest bearing deposits grew by $25.4 million compared to the second
quarter of 1996.

For the six month period ended June 30, 1997, the Company experienced an
increase in net interest income of $4.6 million when compared to the first half
of 1996.  This increase was mainly due to the increased volume in the loan
portfolio,  partially offset by reduced yields on loans, and the increased
volume of interest-bearing deposits.  For the first half of 1997, average other
borrowings primarily consisted of $3.0 million of subordinated debt which was
issued at 11.5% in the Fall of 1996 and $20.0 million Trust Preferred Securities
which was issued at 9.75% in the first quarter of 1997.  The Trust Preferred
Securities qualify for Tier I capital, and the subordinated debt qualifies for
Tier II Capital.  For the six months ended June 30, 1997, the Company's net
interest spread of 4.83% reflected a decrease from 4.92% for the same period in
1996.

The Company provides client services to several of its noninterest-bearing
demand deposit customers.  The amount of credit available to clients is based on
a calculation of their average noninterest-bearing deposit balance, adjusted for
float and reserves, multiplied by an earnings credit rate, generally the average
of the month's 90 day T-Bill rate. The credit can be utilized to pay for
services including messenger service, account reconciliation and other similar
services.  If the cost of the services provided exceeds the available credit,
the customer is charged for the difference.

The impact of this expense on the Company's net interest spread and net yield on
interest-earning assets was as follows:

(1) Noninterest-bearing liabilities are included in the cost of funds
calculation to determine adjusted spread.

The negative impact on the net yield on interest earning assets is caused by
off-setting net interest income by the cost of client service expenses, which
reduces the yield on interest-earning assets. The cost for client service
expense has decreased in 1997 due to decreased volume of activity in services
to noninterest-bearing demand deposit clients.

INTEREST RATE RISK MANAGEMENT

Interest rate risk sensitivity is a function of the repricing characteristics of
the Company's portfolio of assets and liabilities.  Interest rate risk
management focuses on the maturity structure of assets and liabilities and their
repricing characteristics during periods of changes in market interest rates.
Effective interest rate risk management seeks to ensure that both assets and
liabilities respond to changes in interest rates within an acceptable time
frame, thereby minimizing the effect of interest rate movements on net interest
income.  Interest rate sensitivity is measured as the difference between the
volumes of assets and liabilities in the Company's current portfolio that are
subject to repricing at various time horizons: one day or immediate, two days to
six months, six to twelve months, one to three years, three to five years, over
five years and on a cumulative basis.  The differences are known as interest
sensitivity gaps.

The foregoing table demonstrates that the Company had a negative cumulative one 
year gap of $2.0 million of total assets or .28%, at June 30, 1997.  In theory, 
this would indicate that at June 30, 1997, $2.0 million more in liabilities than
assets would reprice if there was a change in interest rates over the next 360 
days.  If interest rates were to increase, the negative gap would tend to 
result in a lower net interest margin.  However, changes in the mix of earning 
assets or supporting liabilities can either increase or decrease the net margin 
without affecting interest rate sensitivity.  In addition, the interest rate 
spread between an asset and its supporting liability can vary significantly 
while the timing of repricing of both the asset and its supporting liability can
remain the same, thus impacting net interest income.  This characteristic is 
referred to as a basis risk and, generally, relates to the repricing 
characteristics of short-term funding sources such as certificates of deposit.

Varying interest rate environments can create unexpected changes in prepayment 
levels of assets and liabilities which are not reflected in the interest 
sensitivity analysis table.  These prepayments may have significant effects on 
the Company's net interest margin.  Because of these factors, an interest 
sensitivity gap report may not provide a complete assessment of the Company's 
exposure to changes in interest rates.

Non-interest income was $2.2 million for the second quarter of 1997, an increase
of $1.3 million from the first quarter of 1997, and an increase of $1.3 million 
from the second quarter of 1996.  The increase in the 1997 second quarter from 
the first quarter of 1997 and from the second quarter of 1996 was primarily due 
to warrant income and an increase in trust fee income.

Non-interest income was $3.2 million for the six month period ended June 30, 
1997, an increase of $1.4 million from the same period in 1996.  The
increase was primarily due to warrant income and an increase in trust fee 
income.

Non-interest expenses were $6.3 million for the second quarter of 1997, an
increase of $131,000, excluding the legal settlement recovery from the first
quarter of 1997, and an increase of $1.2 million from the second quarter of
1996.

Non-interest expenses, exclusive of the legal settlement recovery were $12.4
million and $9.8 million for the six month periods ended June 30, 1997 and 1996,
respectively.

The increase in non-interest expenses are mainly attributable to the significant
growth that has occurred from the second quarter of 1996 to the second quarter
of 1997 and the corresponding increase in employees and the related increase in
occupancy expense.

The legal settlement recovery is attributed to the $1.70 million recovery from
the Company's insurance coverage related to the $1.70 million legal settlement
charge that occurred in the second quarter of 1995.

INCOME TAXES
The provision for income taxes for the second quarter of 1997 of $1.2 million
reflects an effective tax rate for the quarter of approximately 38%, compared to
a tax provision recorded for the second quarter of 1996 of $839,000 with an
effective tax rate of 39%.

The provision for  income taxes for the six month period ended June 30, 1997 was
$2.3 million, as compared to $1.7 million for the six month period ended June
30, 1996. Those provisions reflect effective tax rates of 38% and 40%,
respectively.

FINANCIAL CONDITION
Total assets increased 15.6% to $719.0 million at June 30, 1997 compared to $622
million at December 31, 1996. The increases were primarily due to increases in
the Company's loan portfolio funded by growth in deposits.

LOANS
Total gross loans increased 16.9% to $527.0 million at June 30, 1997 compared to
$450.8 million at December 31, 1996.  The increases in loan volume due to an
improving economy in the Company's market areas coupled with the business
development efforts by the Company's relationship managers.

The Company's loan portfolio is concentrated in commercial (primarily
manufacturing, service and technology) and real estate lending, with the balance
in consumer loans.  While no specific industry concentration is considered
significant, the Company's lending operations are located in the Company's
market areas that are dependent on the technology and real estate industries and
their supporting companies.  Thus, the Company's borrowers could be adversely
impacted by a downturn in these sectors of the economy which could reduce the
demand for loans and adversely impact the borrowers' abilities to repay their
loans.

The provision for loan losses was $2.1 million in the second quarter of 1997, an
increase of $182,000 from the $2.0 million in the first quarter of 1997, and a
$1.8 million increase from the $365,000 in the second quarter of 1996.

The provision for loan losses was $4.1 million for the six month period ended
June 30, 1997, as compared to $685,000 for the same period in 1996.

Management considers changes in the size and character of the loan portfolio,
changes in nonperforming and past due loans, historical loan loss experience,
and the existing and prospective economic conditions when determining the
adequacy of the loan loss reserve. The reserve for loan losses was $10.9 million
at June 30, 1997, compared with $9.1 million at March 31, 1997, and $7.3 million
at December 31, 1996.  During the first two quarters in 1997, the Company has
increased the provision and allowance for loan losses to reflect the 

                                    18 of 24 




emergence of certain risk factors within its loan portfolio. The principal
risk factor is the lack of seasoning within the Company's loan portfolio due
to the dramatic growth in the size of the loan portfolio. Total gross loans
have increased from $290.2 million to $527.0 million, or 81.6% in the 18 month
period ended June 30, 1997.

The ratio of the reserve for loan losses to total loans was 2.08% at June 30,
1997, compared with 1.63% at December 31, 1996, and 1.49%  at June 30, 1996.
The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to total nonperforming assets,
including foreclosed real estate, was 312% at June 30, 1997, compared to 224% at
December 31, 1996 and 131%  at June 30, 1996.

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------






Total nonperforming assets, which includes nonperforming loans (see below) and
OREO, was $3.5 million at June 30, 1997, compared with $3.3 million at December
31, 1996, and $3.8 million at June 30, 1996.  Nonperforming loans, which
includes non-accrual loans, restructured loans, and accrual loans which are past
due 90 days or more, were $3.2 million at June 30, 1997, compared with $3.1
million at December 31, 1996, and $3.6 million at June 30, 1996.

Accruing loans past due 90 days or more, which are well secured and in the
process of collection, were $3,000 at June 30, 1997, compared with $1.2 million
at December 31, 1996, and $1.4 million at June 30, 1996. It is the Company's
policy to discontinue the accrual of interest when the ability of a borrower to
repay principal or interest is in doubt, or when a loan is past due 90 days or
more, except when, in management's judgment, the loan is well secured and in the
process of collection.

Total classified assets increased to $13.8 million at June 30, 1997, from $9.4
million at December 31, 1996.  The $4.4 million increase is primarily due to an
increase in classified technology loans.  The Company has focused strategically
on technology loans through the Venture Lending department, and the volume of
this type of loan has increased significantly.

As of June 30, 1997, the Company had four foreclosed properties for $325,000
compared with $152,000 at December 31, 1996, and $217,000 at June 30, 1996.

The Company has an active credit administration function which includes, in
addition to internal reviews, the regular use of an outside loan review firm to
review the quality of the loan portfolio.  Senior management and an internal
asset review committee review problem loans on a regular basis.

DEPOSITS
The Company emphasizes developing total client relationships with its customers
in order to increase its core deposit base. Deposits reached $639.7 million at
June 30, 1997, an increase of 14.3% compared to deposits of $559.3 million at
December 31, 1996.

Total average interest-bearing deposits increased 34.2% to $470.9 million for
the six month period ended June 30, 1997, compared to an average of $350.8
million for the same period in 1996.   The increase in deposits was due to the
continued marketing efforts directed at commercial business clients in the
Company's market areas, coupled with an increase in deposits related to the
activities of the Greater Bay Trust Company and the Venture Lending Group.

Non-interest-bearing deposits were $135.8 million at June 30, 1997, compared to
$139.9 million at December 31, 1996.  As its regional offices expand, the
Company anticipates this funding source to increase.

CAPITAL RESOURCES
A banking organization's total qualifying capital includes two components, core
capital (Tier I capital) and supplementary capital (Tier II capital).  Core
capital, which must comprise at least half of total capital, includes common
shareholders' equity, qualifying perpetual preferred stock, and minority
interests, less goodwill. Supplementary capital includes the allowance for loan
losses (subject to certain limitations), other perpetual preferred stock,
certain other capital instruments, and term subordinated debt.  The Company's
major capital components are shareholders' equity in core capital, and the
allowance for loan losses and subordinated debt in supplementary capital.

The Company and the Banks seek to maintain capital ratios at levels that will
maintain their status as a well-capitalized financial institution.

On October 21, 1996, the Federal Reserve announced that certain qualifying
amounts of cumulative preferred securities having the characteristics of the
Trust Preferred Securities could be included as Tier I capital.  Accordingly,
the Company's Tier I and total risk-based capital ratios include the $20 million
Trust Preferred Securities.

LIQUIDITY AND CASH FLOW
The objective of liquidity management is to maintain each Bank's ability to meet
the day-to-day cash flow requirements of its clients who either wish to withdraw
funds or require funds to meet their credit needs.  The Company must manage its
liquidity position to allow the Banks to meet the needs of their clients, while
maintaining an appropriate balance between assets and liabilities to meet the
return on investment requirements of its shareholders.  The Company monitors the
sources and uses of funds on a daily basis to maintain an acceptable liquidity
position.  In addition to liquidity from core deposits and repayments and
maturities of loans and investments, the Banks utilize brokered deposit lines,
sell securities under agreements to repurchase and borrow overnight federal
funds.  The Company maintains $50 million in inter-bank Fed Fund purchase lines,
as well as $233 million in institutional deposit or brokered deposit lines, and
$40 million in reverse repurchase lines.  As of June 30, 1997, the Company had
$17.1 million in institutional deposits outstanding and no outstanding federal
funds purchased.

Greater Bay is a company separate and apart from the Banks.  It must provide for
its own liquidity.  Substantially all of Greater Bay's revenues are obtained
from interest received and dividends declared and paid  by the Banks. There are
statutory and regulatory provisions that could limit the ability of the Banks to
pay dividends to Greater Bay.  Management believes that such restrictions will
not have an impact on the ability  of  Greater Bay to meet its ongoing cash
obligations.  As of June 30, 1997, the Company did not have any material
commitments for capital expenditures.

Net cash provided by operating activities, primarily representing net interest
income, totaled  $8.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997, as
compared to $2.0 million for the same period in 1996.  Cash used for investing
activities totaled $75.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997, as
compared to $30.6 million for the same period in  1996.   The funds used for
investing activities primarily represent increases in loans and investment for
each year reported.

For the period ended June 30, 1997 net cash provided by financing activities was
$88.5 million. Historically, the primary financing activity of the Company has
been deposits and short-term borrowings. Deposits increased $80.4 million for
the period ended June 30, 1997 and short-term borrowing decreased $12.0 million
for the same period. Net proceeds from trust preferred securities issued in 1997
provided an additional $20.0 million. For the period ended June 30, 1996, net
cash provided by financing activities was $46.3 million. Deposits increased
$45.6 million, while short-term borrowings were unchanged.

EFFECTS OF INFLATION

The impact of inflation on a financial institution differs significantly from
that exerted on industrial concerns, primarily because its assets and
liabilities consist largely of monetary items.  The most direct effect of
inflation on a financial institution is fluctuation in interest rates.  However,
net interest income is affected by the spread between interest rates received on
assets and those paid on interest bearing liabilities, rather than the absolute
level of interest rates.  Additionally, there may be some upward pressure on the
Company's operating expenses, such as increases in occupancy expenses based on
consumer price indices.  In the opinion of management, inflation has not had a
material effect on the operating results of the Company.
