Exhibit 99.1

To our Shareholders:

The Company's unaudited net income for the first quarter of 2003 totaled $598,000, or $.23 per share.  This compares to net income of $376,000, or $.14 per share for the same period in 2002.  This represents a 59% increase quarter over quarter.  Net interest income increased by $324,000, or 13.4%.  At the same time, operating expenses decreased by $106,000, or 3.9%.  Total assets grew to $301.8 million, an increase of $13.6 million.  This was spurred by a growth in the loan portfolio, where net loans increased by $39.8 million, or 24% since March 31, 2002.

As a result of the continuing progress, the Company recently increased its quarterly dividend to $.12 per share, a 20% increase from the previous $.10 per share.  The book value per share is now $12.93.

The strategic problem solving and rebuilding objectives that were established 2 1/2 years ago to secure a prudent, safe and sound, profitable result for the Company's business activities have been achieved.  We believe the Company is now appropriately positioned to move on toward our objectives of continuing to improve earnings, efficiency, asset base, non-interest income, non-interest expense reduction, products and services enhancements, and market share; all aimed at enhancing shareholder value.

As a reminder, the Annual Meeting of Shareholders will be held at the Company's Operations Center on Wednesday, April 23, 2003 at 7:00 p.m.

Thank you for your ongoing loyalty and support.


/s/ C. JAMES BESS
