     There were loans on nonaccrual status at September 30, 2001 in the amount
     of $10,560.00. If interest had been recognized on these loans, it would
     have amounted to $246 at September 30, 2001. At December 31, 2000 there
     were no loans on nonaccrual status.

6.   Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In July, 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued two statements -
Statement 141, Business Combinations, and Statement 142, Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets, which will potentially impact the accounting for goodwill and
other intangible assets. Statement 141 eliminates the pooling method of
accounting for business combinations and requires that intangible assets that
meet certain criteria be reported separately from goodwill. The Statement also
requires negative goodwill arising from a business combination to be recorded as
an extraordinary gain. Statement 142 eliminates the amortization of goodwill and
other intangibles that are determined to have an indefinite life. The Statement
requires, at a minimum, annual impairment tests for goodwill and other
intangible assets that are determined to have an indefinite life.

Upon adoption of these Statements, an organization is required to re-evaluate
goodwill and other intangible assets that arose from business combinations
entered into before July 1, 2001. If the recorded other intangible assets do not
meet the criteria for recognition, they should be classified as goodwill.
Similarly, if there are other intangible assets that meet the criteria for
recognition but were not separately recorded from goodwill, they should be
reclassified from goodwill. An organization also must reassess the useful lives
of intangible assets and adjust the remaining amortization periods accordingly.
Any negative goodwill must be written-off.

The standards generally are required to be implemented by the Corporation in its
2002 financial statements. The adoption of these standards will not have a
material impact on the financial statements.


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

Between December 31, 2000 and September 30, 2001, total assets increased
$19,000,000. Total securities (held to maturity and available for sale)
increased $10,000,000 and loans increased $15,000,000 while securities purchased
under agreements to resell and federal funds sold decreased $10,000.00. Total
deposits increased $13,000,000.

The September 30 annualized return on average assets is 1.27% compared to 1.25%
at December 31. At September 30 the annualized return on average equity is
10.74% compared to 10.46% at December 31. The leverage capital (equity to
assets) ratio is 11.64% at September 30 compared to 12.32% at December 31.

The table shown below 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.

There were loans on nonaccrual status at September 30, 2001 in the amount of
$10,560.00. If interest had been accrued on these loans, it would have amounted
to $246 at September 30, 2001.

At September 30, 2001, other potential problem loans totalled $27,446. 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 loan losses for these
loans according to the review of the potential loss in each loan situation.

The overall increase in deposits at September 30 compared to December 31 was
$13,000,000, or 10%. All different types of deposit accounts increased with
increases ranging from 4% to 16%. New deposits are attributed to a combination
of factors including the opening of a new branch in Martinsburg, West Virginia,
new loan clients opening new deposit accounts and a certificate of deposit
promotion that ran in August and the first part of September.

The comparison of the income statements for the three months and nine months
ended September 30, 2001 and 2000 shows similar changes in most income and
expense categories. Net interest income in 2001 increased 10% when comparing the
nine month figures to 2000. Interest income has increased due to increased loan
fees and increased loan volume. Interest expense has decreased slightly due to
decreased interest rates. Net income for the nine month period in 2001 has
increased over 18% when compared to 2000.

Noninterest income increased over 6% in 2001 compared to 2000. The increase is
due to increased fees in certain areas and additional commissions on insurance
due to increased sales of insurance. Increases in the following areas are
notable. Increased VISA fees are due to a successful debit card promotion and
resulting customer usage of the cards. Increased fees from ATM surcharges to
non-customers are due to an increase in the amount of the charge. Secondary
market fees in 2001 are due to initiating this program in 2001.

Noninterest expense increased 6% in 2001 compared to 2000 for the nine month
period. Salaries and benefits increased due to annual salary increases,
additional personnel, and increased insurance claims. Occupancy and furniture
and equipment expenses increased due to the building and renovation projects
completed in 2000. Advertising expense is up 41% in 2001 compared to 2000 due to
creation of a new bank logo and replacement expense that accompanies such a
change. Telephone expense has increased 24% in 2001 compared to 2000 due to
increased service requirements because of growth and increased use of the
internet system.

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
investment securities, existing cash and financing activities were used to fund
investing activities. Financing activities included increased deposits,
increased securities sold under agreements to repurchase, and an advance from
the Federal Home Loan Bank. Cash and cash equivalents decreased during this
period, however liquidity of the Corporation is more than adequate to meet
present and future financial obligations.
