     Under the Plan, all such  shares  vest  in equal 20% increments on the
     date of grant and each of the next four anniversaries  of  the date of
     grant.   Prior  to  vesting,  recipients of shares under the Plan  are
     entitled  to vote, and to receive  dividends  in  respect  of,  shares
     awarded under the Plan.

(3)  Represents the value, as of the respective year-end ($7, $11, and $14,

     allocated  to Mr. Humphrey, Jr.'s account under the ESOP for the years
     ending December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.



EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS

     The  Company  and  the  Association  (collectively,  the  "Employers")
entered into  an  employment agreement with Mr. Humphrey, Jr. in connection
with the conversion of the Association from mutual to stock form on July 8,
1996.  The Employers  have agreed to employ Mr. Humphrey, Jr. for a term of
three years in his current  position  at  an initial salary of $53,760.  At
least  30  days prior to each annual anniversary  date  of  the  employment
agreement, the Boards of Directors of the Company and the Association shall
determine whether  or  not  to  extend  the  term  of the agreement for one
additional year.  Any party may elect not to extend  the  agreement  for an
additional  year by providing written notice at least 30 days prior to  any
annual anniversary  date.   Mr. Humphrey, Jr.'s agreement has been extended
to July 7, 2001.

     The employment agreement  is  terminable  with or without cause by the
Employers.   The  officer  shall  have  no right to compensation  or  other
benefits  pursuant  to  the  employment  agreement  for  any  period  after
voluntary  termination  or  termination  by  the   Employers   for   cause,
disability,  retirement  or death, provided, however, that (i) in the event
that the officer terminates  his  employment  because  of  failure  of  the
Employers to comply with any material provision of the employment agreement
or  (ii) the employment agreement is terminated by the Employers other than
for cause, disability, retirement or death or by the officer as a result of
certain  adverse  actions  that  are  taken  with  respect to the officer's
employment following a Change in Control of the Company,  as defined below,
Mr. Humphrey, Jr. will be entitled to a cash severance payment amount equal
to  three times his average annual compensation over his most  recent  five
taxable  years.   In  addition,  Mr.  Humphrey,  Jr.  will be entitled to a
continuation of benefits similar to those he is receiving  at  the  time of
such  termination  for  the  remaining  term  of  the agreement or until he
obtains full-time employment with another employer, whichever occurs first.

     A Change in Control is generally defined in the  employment  agreement
to include any change in control required to be reported under the  federal
securities  laws,  as  well as (i) the acquisition by any person of 25%  or
more of the Company's outstanding  voting securities and (ii) a change in a
majority of the directors of the Company during any two-year period without
the approval of at least two-thirds  of  the  persons who were directors of
the Company at the beginning of such period.

     The employment agreement provides that in  the  event  that any of the
payments to be made thereunder or otherwise upon termination  of employment
are  deemed  to  constitute  a  "parachute  payment" within the meaning  of
Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"),
then such payments and benefits received thereunder  shall  be  reduced, in
the manner determined by the employee, by the amount, if any, that  is  the
minimum  necessary  to  result  in  no portion of the payments and benefits
being non-deductible by the Employers for federal income tax purposes.

COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS

     During the year ended December 31,  1999,  each member of the Board of
Directors  of  the  Association  (other  than  Messrs.  Humphrey,  Jr.  and
Humphrey, III) was paid $300 per Board meeting (the full amount is paid for
excused absences).  For committee meetings, non-employee  directors receive
$30 per meeting.  Directors who are also officers do not receive  any  fees
for Board or committee meetings.

     Members  of the Board may also participate in the Company's Management
Retention and Recognition  Plan,  pursuant  to  which  restricted shares of
Common Stock may be awarded  to directors and key employees.  Shares issued
under the Plan generally vest in equal 20% increments on  the  date  of the
grant  and each of the next four anniversaries of the date of grant.  Prior
to vesting,  participants  under  the  Plan  are  entitled  to vote, and to
receive dividends in respect of, shares awarded under the Plan.

     Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the "ESOP") by an agreement between the
     Company and Messrs. Humphrey, III and Dang, who act as trustees of the
     plan (the "Trustees").  As of  December  31,  1999,  32,211  shares of
     Common Stock held in the Trust were unallocated and 19,631 shares  had
     been  allocated to the accounts of participating employees or released
     for such  allocation.   Under the terms of the ESOP, the Trustees must
     vote the allocated shares  held  in  the  ESOP  in accordance with the
     instructions of the participating employees.  Unallocated  shares held
     in  the ESOP will be voted by the ESOP Trustees in the same proportion
     for and against proposals to stockholders as the ESOP participants and
     beneficiaries  actually vote shares of Common Stock allocated to their
     individual accounts.   Any allocated shares that either abstain on the
     proposal or are not voted  will  be  disregarded  in  determining  the
     percentage  of  stock  voted  for  and  against  each  proposal by the
     participants   and   beneficiaries.    The   amount  of  Common  Stock
     beneficially owned by directors and executive  officers  who  serve as
     trustees of the ESOP and by all directors and executive officers  as a
     group  does  not  include the shares held by the Trust, except for the
     shares actually allocated to the accounts of the executive officers.

ITEM 12.  CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS.

     Mr. Humphrey, Jr., the President and Chief  Executive  Officer  of the
Association,  and  his  wife own the Association's main office building and
lease the building to the  Association.   Prior to April 1, 1996, the lease
was for a 30-year term expiring in September 1997, and the rent was $33,000
per year, subject to increase to $82,000 per  year at the discretion of Mr.
Humphrey, Jr.  Effective April 1, 1996, the Association  entered into a new
10-year  lease  with  Mr.  Humphrey,  Jr. and his spouse, and the  rent  is
$45,000 for the first five years of the  new lease.  The rent will increase
during the second five years of the new lease  at  a rate equal to the rate
of increase in the consumer price index, but the rent  will not decrease if
the consumer price index decreases.  The new lease may be  renewed  at  the
Association's  option  for  two additional 10-year periods.  Under both the
old lease and the new lease,  the Association pays all taxes, insurance and
maintenance costs.

     Mr. Humphrey, Jr. is the father-in-law  of  Harold  A. Buchler, Jr., a
partner  in  the  law  firm  of Buchler & Buchler. During 1999,  Buchler  &
Buchler received an annual retainer  of  $12,000  from the Association, and
approximately $18,275 in connection with real estate  loan  closings.  Most
of the closing fees were paid by the borrowers rather than the Association.

     Management believes that the above transactions were on terms at least
as  favorable  to  the  Association  as could be obtained from unaffiliated
third parties.

INDEBTEDNESS OF MANAGEMENT

     The Association, in the ordinary  course  of business, makes available
to its directors, officers and employees mortgage  loans  on  their primary
residences and other types of loans.  Such loans are made on the same terms
as  comparable  loans  to  other borrowers.  It is the belief of management
that  these  loans  neither  involve   more   than   the   normal  risk  of
collectibility  nor  present  other unfavorable features.  At December  31,
1999,  the  Association's outstanding  loans  to  directors  and  executive
officers of the  Association,  or  members  of  their  immediate  families,
totaled approximately $114,940.
