                        Item 1 - Financial Statements
            Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
                              December 31, 1999


1)   Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

The unaudited consolidated interim financial statements of Mystic Financial,
Inc. and subsidiary ("Mystic" or the "Company") presented herein should be
read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year
ended June 30, 1999, included in the annual report on Form 10-K of Mystic
Financial, Inc., the holding company for Medford Co-operative Bank (the
"Bank").

The unaudited consolidated interim financial statements herein have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and
Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles
for complete financial statements.

In the opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements reflect
all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring accruals) necessary for
a fair presentation of such information. Interim results are not necessarily
indicative of results to be expected for the entire year.

2)   Commitments and Contingencies

At December 31, 1999, the Bank had outstanding commitments to originate loans
amounting to approximately $10.2 million, and unadvanced funds on construction
loans and lines of credit amounting to approximately $3.1 million and $9.3
million, respectively.

3)   Earnings Per Share

Earnings per share for the three and six months ended December 31, 1999 were
$0.19 and $0.41, respectively, on a basic and diluted basis compared to $0.16
and $0.32 on a basic and diluted basis for the three and six months ended
December 31, 1998, respectively.

Basic earnings per share represents income available to common stock divided
by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
In calculating basic earnings per share, the number of shares of common stock
outstanding is reduced by the number of shares held by Mystic's Employee Stock
Ownership Plan (the "ESOP") that have not been allocated or are not committed
for release to participants' individual accounts.  Diluted earnings per share
reflects additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive
potential common shares had been issued, as well as any adjustment to income
that would result from the assumed conversion.  Potential common shares that
may be issued by the Company relate solely to outstanding stock options and
unearned RRP shares and are determined using the treasury stock method.

4)   Book Value Per Share

Book value per share of common stock was $15.50 as of December 31, 1999.  In
calculating book value per share, the number of shares of common stock
outstanding is reduced by the number of shares held by the ESOP that have not
been allocated or are not committed to be released to participants' individual
accounts, unearned RRP shares and treasury stock.  There were 2,068,649 shares
of common stock outstanding as of December 31, 1999 for purposes of
calculating the Company's book value per share.

5)   1999 Recognition and Retention Plan

On March 24, 1999, the Company's stockholders approved the Company's adoption
of the 1999 Recognition and Retention Plan (the "RRP"), which allows the
Company to grant restricted stock awards ("Awards") to certain officers,
employees and outside directors.  As of September 30, 1999 the company's RRP
Trust had completed the purchase of the authorized 102,942 shares in the open
market at a cost of $1,295,000.  Shares vest at a rate of 20% per year with
the first vesting period ending December 31, 1999.  At December 31, 1999,
Awards were granted with respect to 96,342 shares.  The aggregate purchase
price of all shares acquired by the RRP will be reflected as a reduction of
stockholders' equity and amortized to compensation expense as the Company's
employees and directors become vested in their stock awards.

6)   Stock Repurchases

On October 14, 1999, the Company's Board of Directors adopted a stock
repurchase program authorizing the Company to repurchase up to 122,243 or 5%
of its outstanding shares of common stock.  On November 16, 1999, the Company
completed its third repurchase program acquiring 122,243 shares at a cost of
approximately $1,452,000.  On January 12, 2000, the Company's Board of
Directors adopted another stock repurchase program authorizing the Company to
repurchase up to 116,131 shares or 5% of its outstanding shares of common
stock.  On January 28, 2000, the Company completed its fourth repurchase
program acquiring 116,131 shares at a cost of approximately $1,306,000.

    Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
                          and Results of Operations
                              December 31, 1999


General

      The following discussion compares the financial condition of Mystic
Financial, Inc. ("Mystic" or the "Company") and its wholly owned subsidiary,
Medford Co-operative Bank (the "Bank"), at December 31, 1999 to June 30, 1999,
and the results of operations for the three and six months ended December 31,
1999, compared to the same periods in 1998. This discussion and analysis
should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and
related notes thereto included within this report.

      The Company and the Bank may from time to time make written or oral
"forward-looking statements." These forward-looking statements may be
contained in this quarterly filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the "SEC"), the Annual Report to Shareholders, other filings with the SEC,
and in other communications by the Company and the Bank, which are made in
good faith pursuant to the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The words "may," "could," "should," "would,"
"believe," "anticipate," "estimate," "expect," "intend," "plan" and similar
expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements.

      Forward-looking statements include statements with respect to the
Company's beliefs, plans, objectives, goals, expectations, anticipations,
estimates and intentions, that are subject to significant risks and
uncertainties.  The following factors, many of which are subject to change
based on various other factors beyond the Company's control, and other factors
discussed in this Form 10-Q, as well as other factors identified in the
Company's filings with the SEC and those presented elsewhere by management
from time to time, could cause its financial performance to differ materially
from the plans, objectives, expectations, estimates and intentions expressed
in such forward-looking statements:

      *  the strength of the United  States economy in general and the
         strength of the local economies in which the Company and the Bank
         conduct operations;
      *  the effects of, and changes in, trade, monetary and fiscal policies
         and laws, including interest rate policies of the Federal Reserve
         Board;
      *  inflation, interest rate, market and monetary fluctuations;
      *  the timely development of and acceptance of new products and services
         and the  perceived overall value of these products and services by
         users, including the features, pricing and quality compared to
         competitors' products and services;
      *  the willingness of users to substitute competitors' products and
         services for the Company's and the Bank's products and services;
      *  the Company's and the Bank's success in gaining regulatory approval
         of their products and services, when required;
      *  the impact of changes in financial services' laws and regulations
         (including laws concerning taxes, banking, securities and insurance);
      *  the impact of technological changes;
      *  acquisitions;
      *  changes in consumer spending and saving habits; and
      *  the Company's and the Bank's success at managing the risks involved
         in their business.

      This list of important factors is not exclusive.  The Company or the
Bank does not undertake to update any forward-looking statement, whether
written or oral, that may be made from time to time by or on behalf of the
Company or the Bank.

      The Company's profitability depends primarily on its net interest
income, which is the difference between the interest income it earns on its
loans and investment portfolio and its cost of funds, which consists mainly of
interest paid on deposits and on borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of
Boston.  Net interest income is affected by the relative amounts of interest-
earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and the interest rates earned
or paid on these balances.  When interest-earning assets approximate or exceed
interest-bearing liabilities, any positive interest rate spread will generate
net interest income.

      The level of other income and operating expenses also affects the
Company's profitability.  Other income consists primarily of service fees,
loan servicing and other loan fees, and gains on sales of investment
securities available for sale.  Operating expenses consist of salaries and
benefits, occupancy related expenses, and other general operating expenses.

Average Balances, Interest and Average Yields

      The following tables set forth certain information relating to the
Company's average balance sheet and reflect the interest earned on assets and

in rate multiplied by old volume).  Changes in rate-volume (changes in rate
multiplied by the changes in volume) are allocated between changes in rate and
changes in volume.

Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Comparison of Financial Condition at December 31, 1999 and at June 30, 1999

      Total assets increased to $227.5 million at December 31, 1999 from
$215.2 million at June 30, 1999, an increase of $12.3 million or 5.7%.  The
increase in total assets is principally due to continued loan growth.

      Cash and cash equivalents decreased to $11.8 million at December 31,
1999 from $18.7 million at June 30, 1999, a decrease of $7.0 million or 37.2%.
The decrease primarily results from the Company's deposit relationship with a
law firm which maintains large, short-term deposits in real estate
conveyancing accounts that carry significant fluctuations in its deposit
account balances.  A decrease in investment securities of $2.1 million or 6.1%
to $32.2 million at December 31, 1999 from $34.4 million at June 30, 1999
resulted primarily from the Company's loan growth.

      Net loans increased by $20.8 million or 13.4% to $175.5 million or 77.1%
of total assets at December 31, 1999 as compared to $154.7 million or 71.9% of
total assets at June 30, 1999 as the Company continued its emphasis on
originating and retaining residential mortgage loans and commercial and
commercial real estate loans.

      Total deposits decreased by $1.1 million 0.7% to $159.8 million at
December 31, 1999 from $160.9 million at June 30, 1999.  The decrease in
deposits is principally due to the volatile nature of the IOLTA accounts which
are included in the NOW accounts category.

      Total borrowings increased by $15.0 million to $34.0 million at December
31, 1999 from $19.0 million at June 30, 1999.  The Company's continued use of
borrowed funds reflects additional funding used to fund larger commercial real
estate loans, generally those exceeding $1.0 million, with matching funds from
the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston ("FHLBB") to reduce interest rate risk.
In addition, the Company has match-funded 30-year fixed-rate residential
mortgage loans held for portfolio.  The retention of these loans is helping
the Company leverage the capital it raised in the conversion.

      Stockholders' equity decreased by $2.0 million to $32.1 million at
December 31, 1999 from $34.1 million at June 30, 1999 as a result of the
repurchase of 122,243 shares of common stock held in treasury at a cost of
$1.5 million, the repurchase of 102,942 shares of common stock at a cost of
$1.3 million to fund the Company's Recognition and Retention Plan (the "RRP"),
dividends paid of $262,000 and a decrease in the net unrealized gain on
securities available for sale of $270,000, offset by net income of $884,000
and a decrease in unearned ESOP shares and unearned RRP stock.

Comparison of the Operating Results for the Three and Six Months Ended
December 31, 1999 and 1998

      Net Income.  Net income was $397,000 and $884,000 for the three and six
months ended December 31, 1999, respectively, compared to $409,000 and
$824,000 for the three and six months ended December 31, 1998, respectively.
Return on average assets was .71% and .81% for the three and six months ended
December 31, 1999, respectively, compared to .84% and .86% for the three and
six months ended December 31, 1998, respectively.  Return on average equity
was 4.89% and 5.36% for the three and six months ended December 31, 1999,
respectively, compared to 4.71% and 4.70% for the three and six months ended
December 31, 1998, respectively. The decrease in the return on average assets
is due to higher operating expenses while the increase in the return on
average equity resulted from achieving net income on a smaller average balance
of stockholders' equity, principally caused by repurchases of common stock.

      The decrease in net income for the three months ended December 31, 1999
compared to the three months ended December 31, 1998 was attributable to an
increase in net interest income of $310,000 and a decrease in the provision
for income taxes of $17,000 offset by a decrease in other income of $49,000,
an increase of $45,000 in provision for loan losses, and an increase in
operating expenses of $245,000.  The increase in net income for the six months
ended December 31, 1999 compared to the six months ended December 31, 1998 was
attributable to an increase in net interest income of $588,000 offset by a
decrease in other income of $76,000, an increase of $25,000 in provision for
loan losses, an increase in operating expenses of $397,000 and an increase in
the provision for income taxes of $30,000.

      Interest Income.  Total interest and dividend income increased by
$590,000 or 17.6% to $3.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 1999
from $3.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 1998.  The increase
in interest income was a result of an increase in the average balance of loans
and investment securities, partially offset by a decrease in the average
balance of other earning assets.  The average balance of net loans for the
three months ended December 31, 1999 was $171.5 million compared to $142.0
million for the three months ended December 31, 1998.  The average yield on
net loans was 7.89% for the three months ended December 31, 1999 compared to
7.92% for the three months ended December 31, 1998.  The decrease in the yield
on net loans reflects the result of residential mortgage loan refinancing
activity at lower interest rates.

      The average balance of investment securities for the three months ended
December 31, 1999 was $31.9 million compared to $21.7 million for the three
months ended December 31, 1998.  The average yield on investment securities
was 5.80% for the three months ended December 31, 1999 compared to 5.42% for
the three months ended December 31, 1998.   The average balance of other
earning assets for the three months ended December 31, 1999 was $7.4 million
compared to $20.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 1998.  The
average yield on other earning assets was 5.08% for the three months ended
December 31, 1999 compared to 4.86% for the three months ended December 31,
1998.  The increase in the average yield on investment securities and other
earning assets reflects the general increase in market interest rates since
the prior period.

      Total interest and dividend income increased by $989,000 or 14.8% to
$7.7 million for the six months ended December 31, 1999 from $6.7 million for
the six months ended December 31, 1998.  The increase in interest income was a
result of an increase in the average balance of loans and investment
securities, partially offset by a decrease in the average balance of other
earning assets.  The average balance of net loans for the six months ended
December 31, 1999 was $165.2 million compared to $140.9 million for the six
months ended December 31, 1998.  The average yield on net loans was 7.87% for
the six months ended December 31, 1999 compared to 7.93% for the six months
ended December 31, 1998.  The decrease in the yield on net loans reflects the
result of residential mortgage loan refinancing activity at lower interest
rates.

      The average balance of investment securities for the six months ended
December 31, 1999 was $32.3 million compared to $23.4 million for the six
months ended December 31, 1998.  The average yield on investment securities
was 5.81% for the six months ended December 31, 1999 compared to 5.49% for the
six months ended December 31, 1998.   The average balance of other earning
assets for the six months ended December 31, 1999 was $8.6 million compared to
$17.7 million for the six months ended December 31, 1998.  The average yield
on other earning assets was 5.15% for the six months ended December 31, 1999
compared to 5.05% for the six months ended December 31, 1998. The increase in
the average yield on investment securities and other earning assets reflects
the general increase in market interest rates since the prior period.

      Interest Expense.  Total interest expense increased by $280,000 or 18.7%
to $1.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 1999 from $1.5 million
for the three months ended December 31, 1998. Interest expense increased
primarily due to the increase in certificates of deposit balances and the
increase in FHLBB borrowings.  The Company's continued use of borrowed funds
reflects additional funding used to fund larger commercial real estate loans,
generally those exceeding $1.0 million, with matching funds from the FHLBB to
reduce interest rate risk.  In addition, the Company has match-funded 30-year
fixed-rate residential mortgage loans held for portfolio with borrowings of
various maturities.

      Average interest-bearing deposits increased by $15.9 million or 12.1% to
$148.0 million while the average rate decreased five basis points to 3.64%
from 3.69% for the three months ended December 31, 1999.  Average borrowings
increased by $10.6 million to $29.3 million for the three months ended
December 31, 1999 from $18.6 million while the average rate decreased six
basis points to 5.89% from 5.95% for the three months ended December 31, 1998.

      Total interest expense increased by $401,000 to $3.4 million for the six
months ended December 31, 1999 from $3.0 million for the six months ended
December 31, 1998.  Interest expense increased primarily due to the increase
in certificates of deposit and the increase in FHLBB borrowings.  The
Company's continued use of borrowed funds reflects additional funding used to
fund larger commercial real estate loans, generally those exceeding $1.0
million, with matching funds from the FHLBB to reduce interest rate risk.  In
addition, the Company has match-funded 30-year fixed-rate residential mortgage
loans held for portfolio with borrowings of various maturities.

      Average interest-bearing deposits increased by $16.2 million or 12.4% to
$ 147.2 million while the average rate decreased 16 basis points to 3.58% from
3.74% for the six months ended December 31, 1999.  Average borrowings
increased by $7.6 million to $25.2 million for the six months ended December
31, 1999 from $17.6 million while the average rate decreased 13 basis points
to 5.89% from 6.02% for the six months ended December 31, 1998.

      Net Interest Income.  Net interest income for the three months ended
December 31, 1999 was $2.2 million as compared to $1.9 million for the three
months ended December 31, 1998.  The $310,000 or 16.7% increase can be
attributed to a combination of the $590,000 increase in interest and dividend
income and the $280,000 increase in interest expense on deposits and borrowed
funds.  The average yield on interest earning assets increased 19 basis points
to 7.48% for the three months ended December 31, 1999 from 7.29% for the three
months ended December 31, 1998, while the average cost on interest-bearing
liabilities increased by four basis points to 4.01% for the three months ended
December 31, 1999 from 3.97% for the three months ended December 31, 1998.  As
a result, the interest rate spread increased to 3.47% for the three months
ended December 31, 1999 from 3.32% for the three months ended December 31,
1998.

      Net interest income for the six months ended December 31, 1999 was $4.3
million as compared to $3.7 million for the six months ended December 31,
1998.  The $588,000 or15.9% increase can be attributed to a combination of the
$989,000 increase in interest and dividend income and the $401,000 increase in
interest expense on deposits and borrowed funds.  The average yield on
interest earning assets increased 11 basis points to 7.44% for the six months
ended December 31, 1999 from 7.33% for the six months ended December 31, 1998,
while the average cost on interest-bearing liabilities decreased by nine basis
points to 3.92% for the six months ended December 31, 1999 from 4.01% for the
six months ended December 31, 1998.  As a result, the interest rate spread
increased to 3.52% for the six months ended December 31, 1999 from 3.32% for
the six months ended December 31, 1998.

      Provision for Loan Losses.  The provision for loan losses for the three
and six months ended December 31, 1999 was $75,000 and $115,000, respectively,
compared to $30,000 and $90,000 for the three and six months ended December
31, 1998, respectively.  The increases reflect the increase in net loans and
the Company's continuing emphasis on small business lending.  At December 31,
1999, the balance of the allowance for loan losses was $1,456,000 or .83% of
net loans.  During the six months ended December 31, 1999, $8,000 was charged
against the allowance for loan losses while $1,000 in recoveries was credited
to the allowance for loan losses.  At December 31, 1998, the balance of the
allowance for loan losses was $1,311,000 or .92% of net loans.  During the six
months ended December 31, 1998, $17,000 was charged against the allowance for
loan losses while $2,000 in recoveries was credited to the allowance for loan
losses.

      Other Income.  Other income was $271,000 for the three months ended
December 31, 1999 compared to $320,000 for the three months ended December 31,
1998.  The $49,000 decrease was primarily the result of a $78,000 decrease in
the gain on the sales of mortgage loans partially offset by an increase in the
gain on sales of securities available for sale of $36,000.  Other income was
$487,000 for the six months ended December 31, 1999 compared to $563,000 for
the six months ended December 31, 1998.  The $76,000 decrease was primarily
the result of an $87,000 decrease in the gain on the sales of mortgage loans.

      Operating Expenses.  Operating expenses increased by $245,000 or 16.8%
to $1.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 1999 from $1.5 million
for the three months ended December 31, 1998.  Salaries and employee benefits
increased by $225,000.  This increase was caused in part by expenses related
to the opening of a branch office in Lexington, Massachusetts, in late
November 1998, the adoption of the Company's RRP, and general salary
increases.  Occupancy and equipment expenses increased by $46,000 due
primarily to the opening of the branch office.  A decrease in other general
and administrative expenses of $25,000 was caused by a reduction in marketing
and promotional expenses related to the branch office in Lexington,
Massachusetts.

      Operating expenses increased by $397,000 or 14.2% to $3.2 million for
the six months ended December 31, 1999 from $2.8 million for the six months
ended December 31, 1998.  Salaries and employee benefits increased by
$325,000.  This increase was caused in part by the opening of a branch office
in Lexington, Massachusetts, in late November 1998, the adoption of the
Company's RRP, and general salary increases.  A decrease in other general and
administrative expenses of $17,000 was caused by a reduction in marketing and
promotional expenses related to the branch office.  The opening of the
Lexington office also resulted in an increase of $95,000 in occupancy and
equipment expenses for the six months ended December 31, 1999 as compared to
the same period last year.  Annual operating expenses are also expected to
increase in future periods due to the increased cost of operating as a
publicly held stock institution and the ongoing operating costs of the
Lexington office.

Asset/Liability Management

      A principal operating objective of the Company is to produce stable
earnings by achieving a favorable interest rate spread that can be sustained
during fluctuations in prevailing interest rates.  Since the Company's
principal interest-earning assets have longer terms to maturity than its
primary source of funds, (i.e. deposit liabilities), increases in general
interest rates will generally result in an increase in the Company's cost of
funds before the yield on its asset portfolio adjusts upward.  Banking
institutions have generally sought to reduce their exposure to adverse changes
in interest rates by attempting to achieve a closer match between the periods
in which their interest-bearing liabilities and interest-earning assets can be
expected to reprice through the origination of adjustable-rate mortgages and
loans with shorter terms and the purchase of other shorter term interest-
earning assets.

      The term "interest rate sensitivity" refers to those assets and
liabilities, which mature and reprice periodically in response to fluctuations
in market rates and yields.  Thrift institutions have historically operated in
a mismatched position with interest-sensitive liabilities exceeding interest-
sensitive assets in the short-term time periods.  As noted above, one of the
principal goals of the Bank's asset/liability program is to more closely match
the interest rate sensitivity characteristics of the asset and liability
portfolios.

      In order to properly manage interest rate risk, the Board of Directors
has established an Asset/Liability Management Committee ("ALCO") made up of
members of management to monitor the difference between the Company's maturing
and repricing assets and liabilities and to develop and implement strategies
to decrease the "negative gap" between the two.  The primary responsibilities
of the committee are to assess the Company's asset/liability mix, recommend
strategies to the Board that will enhance income while managing the Company's
vulnerability to changes in interest rates and report to the Board the results
of the strategies used.

      Since the early 1980s, the Bank has stressed the origination of
adjustable-rate residential mortgage loans and adjustable-rate home equity
loans.  Historically, the Bank has attempted to sell fixed-rate loans with
terms in excess of 15 years.  However, following the conversion, the Bank has
retained a greater portion of its fixed rate loans.  A substantial portion of
the fixed-rate loans retained in portfolio has been funded with borrowings
from the FHLBB.

      Since 1995, the Bank has also emphasized commercial loans with short-
term maturities or repricing intervals as well as commercial real estate
mortgages with short-term repricing intervals.  In addition, the Company has
used borrowings from the FHLBB to match-fund the maturity or repricing
interval of several larger commercial real estate mortgages.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

      The Company's primary sources of funds consist of deposits, borrowings,
repayment and prepayment of loans, sales and participations of loans,
maturities of investments and interest-bearing deposits, and funds provided
from operations.  While scheduled repayments of loans and maturities of
investment securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and loan
prepayments are greatly influenced by the general level of interest rates,
economic conditions, and competition.  The Company uses its liquidity
resources primarily to fund existing and future loan commitments, to fund net
deposit outflows, to invest in other interest-earning assets, to maintain
liquidity, and to meet operating expenses.

      The Company is required to maintain adequate levels of liquid assets.
This guideline, which may be varied depending upon economic conditions and
deposit flows, is based upon a percentage of deposits and short-term
borrowings.  The Company has historically maintained a level of liquid assets
in excess of regulatory requirements.  The Company's liquidity ratio at
December 31, 1999 was 42.7%, using the short-term assets to short-term
liabilities formula defined under the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation's
Uniform Bank Performance Reports.

      A major portion of the Company's liquidity consists of cash and cash
equivalents, short-term U.S. Government and federal agency obligations, and
corporate bonds.  The level of these assets is dependent upon the Company's
operating, investing, lending and financing activities during any given
period.

      Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term function of
management.  If the Company requires funds beyond its ability to generate them
internally, the Company believes it could borrow additional funds from the
FHLBB.  At December 31, 1999, the Company had borrowings of $34.0 million from
the FHLBB.

      At December 31, 1999, the Company had $10.2 million in outstanding
commitments to originate loans.  The Company anticipates that it will have
sufficient funds available to meet its current loan origination commitments.
Certificates of deposit, which are scheduled to mature in one year or less
totaled $62.5 million at December 31, 1999.  Based upon historical experience,
management believes that a significant portion of such deposits will remain
with the Bank.

      At December 31, 1999, the Company and the Bank exceeded all of their
regulatory capital requirements.

Year 2000

      Based on a review of the Bank's and the Company's business since January
1, 2000, the Company has not experienced any material effects of the Year 2000
problem.  Although the Company has not been informed of any material risks
associated with the Year 2000 problem from third parties, there can be no
assurance that the Company will not be affected in the future.  The Company
will continuously monitor its business applications and maintain contact with
its third party vendors and key business partners to resolve any Year 2000
problems that may arise in the future.

      Monitoring and managing the Year 2000 project has resulted in direct and
indirect costs to the Company and the Bank.  Total direct and indirect costs
associated with the Year 2000 problem incurred to date are approximately
$159,300.  The company currently estimates that no additional material direct
costs will be incurred and does not believe that such costs will have a
material effect on results of operations.  Both direct and indirect costs of
addressing the year 2000 problem have been changed to earnings as incurred.

      The Company developed a Year 2000 contingency plan that was not
implemented.  The Company will continue to closely monitor the progress of its
Year 2000 compliance plan as mandated by the FDIC.

Financial Services Modernization Bill

      On November 12, 1999 President Clinton signed the Gramm-Leach-Bliley
Financial Services Modernization Act of 1999, federal legislation intended to
modernize the financial services industry by establishing a comprehensive
framework to permit affiliations among commercial banks, insurance companies,
securities firms and other financial service providers.  Generally, the Act
(i) repeals the historical restrictions and eliminates many federal and state
law barriers to affiliations among banks, securities firms, insurance
companies and other financial service providers, (ii) provides a uniform
framework for the functional regulation of the activities of banks, savings
institutions and their holding companies, (iii) broadens the activities that
may be conducted by national banks, banking subsidiaries of bank holding
companies and their financial subsidiaries, (iv) provides an enhanced
framework for protecting the privacy of consumer information, (v) adopts a
number of provisions related to the capitalization, membership, corporate
governance and other measures designed to modernize the Federal Home Loan Bank
system, (vi) modifies the laws governing the implementation of the Community
Reinvestment Act and (vii) addresses a variety of other legal and regulatory
issues affecting both day-to-day operations and long-term activities of
financial institutions.

      Bank holding companies will be permitted to engage in a wider variety of
financial activities than permitted under prior law, particularly with respect
to insurance and securities activities.  In addition, in a change from prior
law, bank holding companies will be in a position to be owned, controlled or
acquired by any company engaged in financially-related activities.

      The Company does not believe that the Act will have a material adverse
effect on the Company's operations in the near term.  However, to the extent
that the Act permits banks, securities firms and insurance companies to
affiliate, the financial services industry may experience further
consolidation. This could result in a growing number of larger financial
institutions that offer a wider variety of financial services than the Company
currently offers and that can aggressively compete in the markets currently
served by the Company.
