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

Between December 31, 2000 and March 31, 2001, total assets have increased
$4,700,000. Investment volume overall has remained relatively stable. There has
been a shift from the held to maturity investment portfolio to the available for
sale portfolio to increase liquidity. Loans have increased $4,200,000 since
December 31. Approximately $3,200,000 are in the other real estate loans
category and are commercial purpose loans.

Management goals for 2001 are to continue increasing loans and deposits while
maintaining held to maturity and available for sale securities stable. Daily
investments in repurchase agreements are anticipated to decrease with increased
loan demand. In order to accomplish increased loan goals, two additional loan
officers have been added to the staff during the first quarter. One officer is
concentrating primarily in commercial lending, an area the Bank has not actively
pursued previously. The commercial lending focus will be to small businesses.
Although commercial lending inherently carries more risk, management does not
intend to compromise it's current stringent underwriting standards. In fact,
underwriting standards for small business loans are being enhanced. The second
additional loan officer will concentrate, but not necessarily be limited to,
secondary market lending, which will not add to the Bank's loan portfolio but
will service our customers and increase noninterest income.

The March 31 annualized return on average assets is 1.01% compared to 1.25% at
December 31. At March 31 the annualized return on average equity is 8.17%
compared to 10.46% at December 31. The leverage capital (equity to assets) ratio
is 12.08% at March 31 compared to 12.32% at December 31.

The table on the next page is an analysis of the Corporation's allowance for
loan losses. Net charge-offs for the Corporation have been very low when
compared with the size of the total loan portfolio. Management monitors the loan
portfolio on a continual basis with procedures that allow for problem loans and
potentially problem loans to be highlighted and watched. Written reports
detailing this loan information are prepared on a quarterly basis. Based on
experience, the loan policies and the current monitoring program, management
believes the loan loss allowance is very adequate.

Loans are placed on nonaccrual status when a loan is specifically determined to
be impaired or when principal or interest is delinquent for 90 days or more.
Interest income generally is not recognized on specific impaired loans unless
the likelihood of further loss is remote. Interest income on other nonaccrual
loans is recognized only to the extent of interest payments received. Following
is a table showing the risk elements in the loan portfolio.

At March 31, 2001, other potential problem loans (excluding impaired loans)
totalled $84,494. Loans are viewed as potential problem loans according to the
ability of such borrowers to comply with current repayment terms. These loans
are subject to constant management attention, and their status is reviewed on a
regular basis. Management has allocated a portion of the allowance for these
loans according to the review of the potential loss in each loan situation.

Total deposits have increased approximately $4,000,000 as of March 31, 2001
compared with December 31, 2000. Demand deposits decreased $1,800,000. There are
increases in the following deposit categories: NOW (including Select checking),
$2,200,000; money market accounts, $2,100,000; savings accounts, $700,000 and
certificates of deposit, $800,000.

The comparison of the income statements for the three months ended March 31,
2001 and 2000 shows a decrease of 5% in net income in 2001. Net interest income
increased nearly 6%, interest income increased 4%, and interest expense
increased over 1%.


                                                                              10

Increased loan production, additional fee income in the loan area, closer
scrutiny of all expenses, and close monitoring of deposit interest rates are
among the steps management is taking to stabilize the net income level.

Noninterest income increased over 1% as of March 31, 2001 compared to March 31,
2000. Noninterest expense increased 10%. This included a 7% increase in salaries
in 2001 compared to 2000 and some nonrecurring expenses.

Liquid assets of the Corporation include cash and due from banks, securities
purchased under agreements to resell, securities available for sale, and loans
and investments maturing within one year. The Corporation's statement of cash
flows details this liquidity. Net income after certain adjustments for noncash
transactions provided cash from operating activities. Funds from maturity of
securities held to maturity and cash on hand were used to fund investing
activities. Financing activities provided funds since total deposits increased.
Cash and cash equivalents increased slightly during this period, and liquidity
of the Corporation is more than adequate to meet present and future financial
obligations.
