Exhibit 99.1



The financial information customarily given to Shareholders is enclosed. As you can see, the first six months of 2001 have not been, from a purely financial point of view, profitable for the Company. However, on other fronts, such as staffing and complying with regulatory requirements, the Company continues to make good progress.



The Company's earnings have been negatively impacted primarily by three factors. First, the Bank continues to experience difficulties with certain loans with some of its longstanding customers. Second, the methodologies employed in the calculation of the Bank's Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses (ALLL), that were approved by the Bank's regulators in 2001, provide an appropriate, but more conservative bias than the former methodologies. Third, the continuing interest rate reductions by the Federal Reserve, which in turn cause the Bank to lower its prime lending rate, have reduced interest income. While it is difficult to know the extent to which problem loans are affected by the economy and/or problems inherent in certain industries with which some of the Bank's borrowers do business, the loan problems nevertheless do exist. As a result, the ALLL for the six months ended June 30, 2001 was increased by over $2.7 million. That, taken together with the decrease in interest income, resulted in a loss of over $1 million for the six month period.



Total assets at June 30, 2001 were $311.1 million. Net loans were $179.1 million, deposits totaled nearly $260.0 million, and shareholders equity amounted to $30.7 million or $11.69 per share.



Management is very disappointed to report these results. However, every effort is being made to mitigate loan risk, control losses, and to continue to improve the Company.



Thank you for your continuing support. If you should have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
