NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

   The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements
were prepared in accordance with instructions for Form 10-QSB
and, therefore, do not include all information and notes
necessary for a complete presentation of financial position,
results of operations, changes in stockholders' equity, and cash
flows in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.  However, all adjustments (consisting only of normal
recurring accruals) which, in the opinion of management, are
necessary for a fair presentation of the unaudited consolidated
financial statements have been included in the results of
operations for the six months ended December 31, 1999 and 1998.

   Operating results for the six month period ended December 31,
1999 is not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for the year ending June 30, 2000.

   Prior to March 31, 1997, the Cumberland Mountain Bancshares,
Inc. (the "Company") did not have any material assets or
liabilities and did not engage in any material business
operations.  On March 31, 1997, the Company acquired all of the
outstanding stock of Middlesboro Federal Bank, Federal Savings
 Bank (the "Bank") pursuant to the Plan of Conversion of
Cumberland Mountain Bancshares, M.H.C., the Bank's former mutual
holding company, and the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization
between the Company and the Bank.  In connection with the
Conversion and Reorganization, the Company sold 439,731 shares
of Common Stock in an initial public offering and issued 1.333
shares of Common Stock in exchange for each share of the Bank's
common stock then outstanding.  The Company's financial
statements for the periods prior to March 31, 1997 consist of
the financial statements of the Bank.

        MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

GENERAL

     The principal business of Cumberland Mountain Bancshares,
Inc. (the "Company") is that of Middlesboro Federal Bank, FSB
(the "Savings Bank" or "Middlesboro Federal").  The principal
business of the Savings Bank consists of accepting deposits from
the general public and investing these funds in loans secured by
one-to-four family owner-occupied residential properties in the
Savings Bank's primary market area.  The Savings Bank also
maintains an investment portfolio which includes Federal Home
Loan Bank ("FHLB") stock, Government Agency-issued bonds and
mortgage-backed securities, and other investments.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

     In addition to historical information contained herein,
the following discussion contains forward-looking statements
that involve risks and uncertainties.  Economic circumstances,
the Company's operations and the Company's actual results could
differ significantly from those discussed in the forward-looking
statements.  Some of the factors that could cause or contribute
to such differences are discussed herein but also include
changes in the economy and interest rates in the nation and the
Company's market area generally.  Some of the forward-looking
statements included herein are the statements regarding
management's determination of the amount and adequacy of the
allowance for loan losses on loans, the effect of certain recent
accounting pronouncements.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

     Total assets of the Company have increased 2.21% from
$129,594,000 at June 30, 1999 to $132,454,000 at December 31,
1999.  This increase in assets has resulted primarily from the
increase in cash and cash equivalents of  $3.2 million, or
241.15% to $4,493,000 at December 31, 1999 from $1,317,000 at
June 30, 1999.  This increase in cash and cash equivalents was
primarily the result of management's liquidity planning process
for potential cash needs by the Savings Bank's deposit customers
related to the Year 2000.

     It was anticipated that unusual market responses to the
century date change could have led to a perceived need for extra
liquidity by the Savings Bank's customers during the century
date change period.  In an effort to be prepared for that
possible situation, management proactively managed the possible
liquidity needs of the Savings Bank to ensure that no
interruption in service to its customers was realized.
Management believes it is essential to maintain the highest
degree of confidence in the Savings Bank and the Savings Bank's
ability to meet its customer's demands and is happy to report
that no significant disruption in service or cash availability
was experienced.

     The Company's increase in liquidity during the six months
ended December 31, 1999 was partially financed by an increase in
borrowings of advances from the FHLB.  FHLB advances increased
by $500,000 from $12,000,000 at June 30, 1999 to $12,500,000 at
September 30, 1999.  Total stockholders' equity rose by
$192,000, or 2.2%, principally due to net income realized during
the six months ended December 31, 1999.

        MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Net Income  The Company realized net income of $108,000
     ----------
for the three-month period ended December 31, 1999.  This
compared to a net loss of $333,000 for the three-month period
ended December 31, 1998.  This increase in net income was
primarily the result of a decrease in the provision for loan
losses of $484,000 from $582,000 for the three-month period
ended December 31, 1998 to $98,000 for the three-month period
ended December 31, 1999.  The decrease in provision for loan
losses is the result of management's efforts in prior quarters
to increase the amount of allowances for loan losses to levels
sufficient to absorb any losses suffered in future quarters.
Management is continuing their efforts to strengthen the
portfolio by tightening underwriting standards and collection
efforts.

     For the six-month period ended December 31, 1999, the
Company realized net income of $274,000, compared to a net loss
of $238,000 for the six-month period ended December 31, 1998.
This change in net income was primarily the result of a decrease
in the above mentioned provision for loan losses along with a
reduction in non-interest expense of $212,000 during the six-
month period ended December 31, 1999 as compared to the six-
month period ended December 31, 1998.  This reduction in non-
interest expense resulted primarily from a decrease in the
amount of legal and consulting costs incurred by the Savings
Bank and other cost-cutting efforts by management to control
operating expenses.

     Interest Income  Total interest income for the three-month
     ---------------
period ended December 31, 1999 amounted to $2,431,000, a
decrease of 11.02% from the Company's total interest income of
$2,732,000 for the three-month period ended December 31, 1998.
During the three-month period ended December 31, 1999 as
compared to the three-month period ended December 31, 1998, the
Company's interest income on its loan portfolio decreased 10.56%
from $2,566,000 to $2,295,000; its interest income from its
mortgage-backed securities portfolio decreased 26.15% from
$65,000 to $48,000; interest income from its investment
securities portfolio decreased 21.13% from $71,000 to $56,000;
and interest income from FHLB stock increased 6.67% from $30,000
to $32,000.  The reduction in interest income on the Company's
loan portfolio has occurred primarily due to the shrinkage of
the loan portfolio combined with a $713,000 increase in non-
accrual loans.

     Interest income decreased from $5,418,000 for the six-
months ended December 31, 1998 to $4,884,000 for the six-months
ended December 31, 1999, a decrease of $534,000 or 9.86%.  This
decrease resulted primarily from the decrease in interest income
on loans of $495,000 or 9.71%.  The major factors contributing
to this decrease include the shrinkage of the loan portfolio and
the increase in non-accrual loans as mentioned above.
Management has undertaken efforts to strengthen the quality of
the loan portfolio and increase collection efforts thereby
resulting in the origination of fewer loans over the past six-
month period.

     Interest Expense  Interest expense decreased from
     ----------------
$1,645,000 for the three-month period ended December 31, 1998,
to $1,466,000 for the three-month period ended December 31,
1999.  During the three-month period ended December 31, 1999 as
compared to the three-month period ended December 31, 1998, the
Company's interest expense on FHLB advances decreased 46.82%
from $314,000 to $167,000.  This decrease in interest expense on
FHLB advances is due to the decrease in the average balance of
this account during the quarter, which had primarily been used
to fund mortgage and consumer loan demand.

        MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

     Interest expense decreased $402,000, or 12.11%, from
$3,319,000 for the six-month period ended December 31, 1998 to
$2,917,000 for the six-month period ended December 31, 1999.
Interest expense on deposits decreased 0.98%, or $24,000 while
interest expense on FHLB advances decreased 52.19%, or $357,000
for the six-month period ended December 31, 1999.  Due to a
decrease in loans being originated during the period, additional
borrowings were not necessary to fund the loan demand being
experienced.

     Net Interest Income  During the three months ended
     -------------------
December 31, 1999, net interest income decreased 11.22% to
$965,000 from $1,087,000 for the three months ended December 31,
1998.  For the six-month period ended December 31, 1999, net
interest income decreased 6.29% to $1,967,000 from $2,099,000
for the six-month period ended December 31, 1998.  This decrease
was due primarily to the reduction in loan originations by the
Savings Bank.

     Provision for Loan Losses  Provisions for loan losses are
     -------------------------
charged to earnings to bring the total allowance to a level
considered adequate by management to provide for loan losses
based on the prior loss experience, volume and type of lending
conducted by Middlesboro Federal, industry standards and past
due loans in the Savings Bank's portfolio.  Management also
considers general economic conditions and other factors related
to the collectibility of the Savings Bank's portfolio.

     For the three-month period ended December 31, 1999, the
Savings Bank provided $98,000 for loan losses compared to
$582,000 during the three-month period ended December 31, 1998.
The provision for losses on loans decreased from $720,000 for
the six months ended December 31, 1998 to $160,000 for the six
months ended December 31, 1999.  The decrease in provision for
loan losses for these periods represent management's proactive
effort to maintain an adequate reserve against losses.  In
determining the appropriate provision, management considers a
number of factors, including specific loans in the Savings
Bank's portfolio, real estate market trends in the Company's
market area, economic conditions, interest rates, and other
conditions that may affect the borrower's ability to comply with
repayment terms.  At December 31, 1999, the Company's allowance
for loan losses represented 57.47% of total non-accrual loans
and 1.16% of the outstanding balance of total loans.

     Non-Interest Income  Non-interest income for the three-
     -------------------
month period ended December 31, 1999 consisted primarily of loan
fees and service charges.  The Savings Bank's loan fees and
service charges fluctuate as loan demand in the market area
changes and as the fee structure is adjusted by management in
relation to market demand.  The Company's non-interest income
for the three-month period ended December 31, 1999 was $194,000,
an increase of 16.87% from $166,000 for the three-month period
ended December 31, 1998.  Non-interest income increased from
$352,000 for the six months ended December 31, 1998 to $402,000,
a 14.2% increase, for the six months ended December 31, 1999.

     Loan fees and service charges for the three-month period
ended December 31, 1999 increased $38,000, or 22.89%, to
$204,000 from $166,000 for the three-month period ended December
31, 1998 and $67,000, or 19.82% for the six-month period ended
December 31, 1999 as compared to the six-month period ended
December 31, 1998.  These increases were attributable to an
increase in loan fees charged to new loan customers, an increase
in deposit fees primarily related to the increase in the level
of deposits, and an increase in the collection of late charge
fees resulting from improved collection efforts.

        MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

     Non-Interest Expense  For the three-month period ended
     --------------------
December 31, 1999, as compared to the three-month period ended
December 31, 1998, total non-interest expense decreased $234,000
from $1,139,000 to $905,000 or 20.54%.  Non-interest expense
decreased from $2,018,000 for the six months ended December 31,
1998 to $1,804,000 for the six months ended December 31, 1999, a
decrease of $214,000 or 10.6%.

     Total data processing fees were $60,000 for the three-
month period ended December 31, 1999, up $13,000 over the three-
month period ended December 31, 1998 level of $47,000.
Occupancy and equipment expense was $144,000 for the three-month
period ended December 31, 1999, down $35,000 from the three-
month period ended December 31, 1998.  These changes were due to
the conversion in August 1998 of the Savings Bank's core
processing system to an in-house PC-based system from an
outsource environment.  When this event occurred, substantial
amounts of new equipment was purchased and is now being included
in the data processing costs for the Company thereby reducing
the occupancy and equipment expense.

     The Company recognized an Employee Stock Ownership Plan
expense of $13,000 for the three-month period ended December 31,
1999, and a $26,000 expense for the six-month period ended
December 31, 1999, compared to a $52,000 expense for the three-
month period ended December 31, 1998 and a $104,000 expense for
the six-month period ended December 31, 1998.  The Company makes
annual contributions to the ESOP equal to the ESOP's debt
service less dividends received by the ESOP.  As the debt is
repaid, shares are released from collateral and allocated to
active employees, based on the proportion of debt service paid
during the year.  As shares are released from collateral, the
Company reports compensation expense equal to the current market
price of shares and the shares become outstanding.

     Other expenses of $209,000 decreased $123,000 over the
three-month period ended December 31, 1998 amount of $332,000.
For the six-month period ended December 31, 1999, other expenses
decreased $101,000 as compared to the six-month period ended
December 31, 1998.  The decrease in other expenses is primarily
due to a decrease in legal and consulting fees.  Consulting fees
declined $68,000 for the three-month period ended December 31,
1999 as compared to the three-month period ended December 31,
1998.  During the quarter ended December 31, 1998, management
utilized the services of Professional Bank Services, Inc., a
Louisville, Kentucky consulting firm to assist in implementing a
strategic plan and loan review process.  Legal fees declined by
$29,000 during the three-month period ending December 31, 1999.
These fees during the three-month period ending December 31,
1998 were result of retirement planning costs and issues related
to the construction of the Savings Bank's new office structure
in Fountain City, Tennessee.

     Income Taxes  Income tax expense for the three-month
     ------------
period ended December 31, 1999 was $48,000 compared to a credit
of $133,000 for the three-month period ended December 31, 1998.
For the six months ended December 31, 1999, income tax expense
was $131,000 compared to a credit of $47,000 for the six month
period ended December 31, 1998.  The changes in income tax
expense are a result of changes in net taxable income during the
periods.

        MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The Company currently has no business other than that of
the Savings Bank and does not currently have any material
funding commitments.  The Company's principal sources of
liquidity are cash on hand, payments received on its loan to the
Company's ESOP and dividends received from the Savings Bank.
The Savings Bank is subject to various regulatory restrictions
on the payment of dividends.

     The Savings Bank is required by the Office of Thrift
Supervision regulations to maintain minimum levels of specified
liquid assets.  On November 24, 1997, the OTS lowered this
liquidity requirement from 5 to 4 percent of the Savings Bank's
liquidity base.  Additionally, the OTS streamlined the
calculations used to measure compliance with liquidity
requirements, expanded the types of investments considered to be
liquid assets, and reduced the liquidity base by modifying the
definition of net withdrawable account to exclude accounts with
maturities exceeding one year.  The Savings Bank's liquidity
ratio for the quarter ended December 31, 1999 was 7.29% and its
liquidity ratio was 7.60% at December 31, 1998.

     The Savings Bank's principal sources of funds for
investments and operations are net income, deposits from its
primary market area, principal and interest payments on loans
and mortgage-backed securities and proceeds from maturing
investment securities.  Its principal funding commitments are
for the origination or purchase of loans and the payment of
maturing deposits.  Deposits are considered a primary source of
funds supporting the Savings Banks lending and investment
activities.  Deposits were $108,595,000 and $106,905,000 at
December 31, 1999 and June 30, 1999, respectively.

     The Savings Bank's most liquid assets are cash and cash
equivalents, which are cash on hand, amounts due from financial
institutions, federal funds sold, certificates of deposit with
other financial institutions that have an original maturity of
three months or less and money market mutual funds.  The levels
of such assets are dependent on the Savings Bank's operating,
financing and investment activities at any given time.  The
Savings Bank's cash and cash equivalents totaled $4,493,000 at
December 31, 1999 and $1,317,000 at June 30, 1999.  Of these
amounts, $1,069,000 and $12,000 were deposits held in interest-
bearing accounts at December 31, 1999 and June 30, 1999,
respectively.  The variations in levels of cash and cash
equivalents are influenced by deposit flows and anticipated
future deposit flows.

     At December 31, 1999, the Savings Bank had $237,000 in
commitments to originate loans.  At December 31, 1999, the
Savings Bank had $63,210,000 in certificates of deposit which
were scheduled to mature in one year or less.  It is anticipated
that the majority of these certificates will be renewed in the
normal course of operations.

     Middlesboro Federal is not aware of any trends or
uncertainties that will have or are reasonably expected to have
a material effect on the Savings Bank's liquidity or capital
resources.  The Savings Bank has no current plans for material
capital improvements or other capital expenditures that would
require more funds than are currently on hand.

        MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS


IMPACT OF INFLATION AND CHANGING PRICES

     The financial statements and related data presented herein
have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles which require the measurement of financial
position and operating results in terms of historical dollars,
without considering changes in the relative purchasing power of
money over time due to inflation.

     Unlike most companies, the assets and liabilities of a
financial institution are primarily monetary in nature.  As a
result, interest rates have a more significant impact on a
financial institution's performance than the effects of general
levels of inflation.  Interest rates do not necessarily move in
the same direction or in the same magnitude as the price of
goods and services, since such prices are affected by inflation.
In the current interest rate environment, liquidity and the
maturity structure of the Savings Bank's assets and liabilities
are critical to the maintenance of acceptable performance
levels.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

     Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments  In
     -----------------------------------------------------
December 1991, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 107 (SFAS No. 107) "Disclosure About Fair Value of
Financial Instruments."  SFAS No. 107 requires all entities to
disclose the fair value of financial instruments (both assets
and liabilities recognized and not recognized in the financial
statements) for which it is practicable to estimate fair value,
except those financial instruments specifically excluded.  The
disclosure shall be either in the body of the financial
statements or in the accompanying notes and shall also include
the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate the
fair value of financial instruments.  Additional information is
required to be disclosed if it is not practicable for an entity
to estimate the fair value of a financial instrument or a class
of financial instruments as well as the reasons why it is not
practicable to estimate fair value.  SFAS No. 107 is effective
for entities with less than $150 million in total assets in the
current statement of financial condition for financial
statements issued for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1995.

     Accounting By Creditors For Impairment of a Loan  During
     ------------------------------------------------
May 1993, the FASB issued SFAS No. 114 "Accounting by Creditors
for Impairment of a Loan" that requires impaired loans be
measured based upon the present value of expected future cash
flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate or at the
loan's market price or fair value of collateral, if the loan is
collateral dependent.  Adoption of SFAS No. 114, as amended by
SFAS No. 118, occurred on June 30, 1996, and is did not have a
material impact on the financial statements.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (CONTINUED)

     Comprehensive Income  In June, 1997, the FASB issued SFAS
     --------------------
No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income".  SFAS No. 130
establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive
income and its components (revenues, expenses, gains, and
losses) in a full set of general-purpose financial statements.
This statement requires that all items that are required to be
recognized under accounting standards as components of
comprehensive income be reported in a financial statement that
is displayed with the same prominence as other financial
statements.

     This statement requires that an enterprise (a) classify
items of other comprehensive income by their nature in a
financial statement and (b) display the accumulated balance of
other comprehensive income separately from retained earnings and
additional paid-in capital in the equity section of a statement
of financial position.  This statement is effective for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 1997.

     Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
     -------------------------------------------------------
Information  In June, 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131,
- -----------
"Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information".  SFAS No. 131 establishes standards for the way
that public business enterprises report information about
operating segments in annual financial statements and requires
that those enterprises report selected information about
operating segments in interim financial reports issued to
shareholders.  It also establishes standards for related
disclosures about products and services, geographic areas, and
major customers.  This statement is effective for financial
statements for periods beginning after December 15, 1997.  The
Company does not believe that the adoption of this accounting
statement will have a material impact on its financial
statements.

           PART II.     OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

     From time to time between 1987 and 1994 the Savings Bank
has purchased whole loans and loan participations from an
unaffiliated mortgage broker based in Lexington, Kentucky.  At
December 31, 1999, the aggregate remaining principal balance of
such loans was $2.8 million.  The mortgage broker had been
servicing such loans for the Savings Bank remitting payments on
a monthly basis.   During the three months ended September 30,
1999, the Savings Bank became aware that certain of such loans
may have been refinanced although the mortgage broker failed to
remit the payoffs on such loans to the Savings Bank.  At
December 31, 1999, the aggregate principal balance of such loans
amounted to $768,000.  The Savings Bank has begun to service all
such loans directly and is pursuing a claim for the unpaid
principal balance with its fidelity insurance carrier.  Although
the Savings Bank believes that it has a claim under it fidelity
bond or through other insurance policies, there can be no
assurance that full or partial recovery of these loans will be
obtained or that losses in connection with these loans will not
be incurred.

     Effective December 13, 1999,  the Savings Bank entered into
an Agreement with the Office of Thrift Supervision.  The
Agreement requires that the Savings Bank establish the position
of Compliance Officer and develop and adopt a written compliance
program designed to ensure that the Savings Bank is operating in
compliance with all applicable consumer protection and other
laws and regulations.  The Savings Bank is also required to
ensure its compliance with its written loan and collection
policies.  The Agreement limits the size of any new commercial
