     For the nine-month period ended September 30, 1999, the
Company achieved net income of $3,355,000 as compared to
$2,918,000 for the same period in 1998.  On a per share
basis, diluted earnings per share was $.90 for the nine
months ended September 30, 1999 compared to $.78 for the
same period in 1998.

     For the nine months ended September 30, 1999, the
Company continued quarterly dividends totaling $1,111,000
for the year to stockholders of the Company.  The Company's
return on average total assets and average stockholders'
equity were 1.50% and 14.25% for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999, compared with 1.39% and 13.05% for the
same period in 1998.

     For the nine months ended September 30, 1999, the
increase in net interest income was primarily due to the
increase in average loans outstanding, coupled with a
decrease in rates paid on average interest bearing deposits
and offset by a decrease in rates earned on average earning
assets. The Company's loan loss provision decreased
$325,000.  For the nine months ended September 30, 1999,
noninterest income was impacted by a reduction in gain on
available for sale securities of $703,000 offset by
increased service charge and other fee income from the
expanded customer base.  The increase in noninterest expense
in the same period is primarily the result of costs
associated with the addition of two super-market branches,
the Business Banking Center as well as an expanded
Investment Services Department.  The Company has made a
substantial investment in technology updates that have
resulted in the addition of new products and services to
provide for future expansion.

     For the three months ended September 30, 1999, net
income was $1,292,000 compared to $685,000. The increase of
$607,000 was a result of an increase in net interest income,
lower provision for loan loss, an increase in service
charges and other fees offset by decreases in gains on sale
of securities, and an increase in noninterest expenses.
