Item 7A.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk


Interest Rate Risk Management

     The Company's net income is dependent on its net interest income. Net
Interest income is susceptible to interest rate risk to the degree that
Interest-bearing liabilities mature or reprice on a different basis than
interest-earning assets. When Interest-bearing liabilities mature or reprice
more quickly than Interest-earning assets in a given period, a significant
Increase in market rates of interest could adversely affect net Interest Income.
Similarly, when interest-earning assets mature or reprice more quickly than
interest-bearing liabilities, falling Interest rates could result in a decrease
in net income.

     In an attempt to manage its exposure to change in interest rates,
management monitors the Company's Interest rate risk. Since 1992, management's
asset-liability committee has met quarterly to review the Company's interest
rate risk position and profitability, and to recommend adjustments for
consideration by the Board of Directors. Management also reviews the Bank's
securities portfolio, formulates investment strategies, and oversees the timing
and implementation of transactions to assure attainment of the Board's
objectives in the most effective manner. Notwithstanding the Company's interest
rate risk management activities, the potential for changing interest rates is an
uncertainty that can have an adverse effect on net income.  See "Asset/Liability
Management" for further analysis.

     In adjusting the Company's asset/liability position, the Board and
management attempt to manage the Company's interest rate risk while enhancing
net interest margins. At times, depending on the level of general interest
rates, the relationship between long and short-term interest rates, market
conditions and competitive factors, the Board and management may determine to
increase the Company's Interest rate risk position somewhat in order to increase
its net Interest margin. The Company's results of operations and net portfolio
values remain vulnerable to increases in Interest rates and to fluctuations in
the difference between long-and short-term Interest rates.

     One approach used to quantify interest rate risk is the net portfolio value
("NPV") analysis. In essence, this analysis calculates the difference between
the present value of liabilities and the present value of expected cash flows
from assets and off-balance sheet contracts. The OTS model is based on the
balance sheet of the Bank. Various asset and liability categories were adjusted
to reflect the consolidated NPV of the Company. These adjustments were not
material to the outcome of the simulation analysis of NPV.

      The following table sets forth, at June 30, 1997, an analysis of the
Company's interest rate risk as measured by the estimated changes in NPV
resulting from instantaneous and sustained parallel shifts in the yield curve (+
or -400 basis points, measured in 100 basis point increments).

</TABLE>

     Certain assumptions utilized by the OTS in assessing the interest rate risk
of thrift institutions were employed in preparing data for the Bank included in
the preceding table. These assumptions relate to interest rates, loan prepayment
rates, deposit decay rates, and the market values of certain assets under the
various interest rate scenarios. It was also assumed that delinquency rates will
not change as a result of changes in interest rates although there can be no
assurance that this will be the case. Even if interest rates change in the
designated


<PAGE>

amounts, there can be no assurance that the Bank's assets and liabilities would
perform as set forth above. In addition, a change in U. S. Treasury rates in the
designated amounts accompanied by a change in the shape of the Treasury yield
curve would cause significantly different changes to the NPV than indicated
above.

     The Company does not currently engage in trading activities or use
derivative instruments to control interest rate risk. Even though such
activities may be permitted with the approval of the Board of Directors, the
Company does not intend to engage in such activities in the immediate future.

     Interest rate risk is the most significant market risk affecting the
Company. Other types of market risk, such as foreign currency exchange rate risk
and commodity price risk, do not arise in the normal course of the Company's
business activities.
