Item 1.  Business
-----------------

The Stock Holding Company and The Bank

         First Carnegie Deposit (the "Bank") was originally chartered in 1924 as
Fidelity  Building and Loan. In January  1939,  the Bank's name changed to First
Federal Savings and Loan Association of Carnegie.  The name was again changed on
December  17,  1996 to  First  Carnegie  Deposit.  On April  4,  1997,  the Bank
reorganized  from a mutual savings bank into a federal  mutual  holding  company
structure,  whereby the Bank  exchanged its federal  mutual savings bank charter
for a federal  stock  savings bank charter and formed Skibo  Bancshares,  M.H.C.
(the "MHC"), a federally chartered mutual holding company.

         On October  29,  1998,  the Bank  reorganized  into a two-tier  holding
company structure.  The Bank became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Skibo Financial
Corp. (the "Company"),  a stock  corporation which is majority owned by the MHC.
The  Company was  incorporated  solely for the purpose of becoming a savings and
loan holding company and had no prior operating history.

         All  references in this document to the Company  include  activities of
both Skibo  Financial Corp. and First Carnegie  Deposit on a consolidated  basis
unless the context requires otherwise.

         The Company's and Bank's  executive  offices are located at 242 E. Main
Street, Carnegie, Pennsylvania 15106. The telephone number is (412) 276-2424.

The Mutual Holding Company

         The Company is a majority-owned subsidiary of the MHC. The Company, the
MHC,  and the Bank are each  subject  to  regulations  of the  Office  of Thrift
Supervision  (the  "OTS") of the  Department  of the  Treasury.  Pursuant to OTS
regulations  governing mutual holding  companies,  the MHC must at all times own
more than 50% of the  outstanding  voting stock of the Company.  As the majority
(58%) owner of the Company, the MHC elects directors who oversee the affairs and
operations  of the Company.  The MHC  currently  does not engage in any business
activity other than to hold the majority of Company Common Stock and to invest a
small amount of funds  retained at the MHC. At March 31, 2000,  the MHC's assets
consisted  of a majority  ownership  interest in the  Company and  approximately
$97,000 in cash. The MHC had no liabilities at March 31, 2000.

Business Strategy

         The Bank is a community oriented savings association providing mortgage
loans and  consumer  loans.  The  Company is  primarily  engaged  in  attracting
deposits from the general  public  through its offices and using those and other
available  sources  of funds  to  purchase  and  originate  one- to  four-family
mortgage  loans  and farm  loans  and to  invest  in  mortgage-backed  and other
securities,  Small Business  Administration  ("SBA") and other government agency
guaranteed  commercial  and  consumer  loans.  Because the Company  faces strong
competition in originating  traditional  residential mortgage loans, the Company
has emphasized  other forms of lending,  including the purchase of SBA and other
government agency guaranteed loans, and commercial real estate loans,  including
farms.

                                      -1-
<PAGE>

         The principal  sources of funds for the Company's lending and investing
activities are deposits,  the repayment and maturity of loans,  the maturity and
call of securities and Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB")  advances.  The principal
source  of income  is  interest  on loans  and  mortgage-backed  and  investment
securities  and the  principal  expense is interest  paid on  deposits  and FHLB
advances.

Competition

         The Company's  market area is saturated  with lenders of first mortgage
residential  real estate loans many of whom have far greater  resources than the
Company.  The  Company  generally  has had  difficulty  competing  with the many
mortgage companies, commercial banks, credit unions, and savings associations in
the Company's  market for these loans.  Accordingly,  the Company has followed a
non-traditional  operating  strategy  by  purchasing  a large  amount of one- to
four-family  mortgage  loans,  farm  loans and SBA and other  government  agency
guaranteed  loans, as well as purchasing  mortgage-backed  and other securities.
The Company  intends to continue  purchasing  loans to  supplement  reduced loan
demands, as needed.

         The  competition  for  deposits  comes  from  other  insured  financial
institutions such as commercial banks, thrift  institutions,  credit unions, and
multi-state regional banks in the Company's market areas.  Competition for funds
also includes a number of insurance products sold by local agents and investment
products  such as mutual funds and other  securities  sold by local and regional
brokers.  The Company competes for deposits by offering  depositors  competitive
interest rates and a high level of personal service.

Market Area

         The  Company  operates  three  offices.  The main  office is located in
Carnegie,  Pennsylvania,  adjacent to  Pittsburgh,  Pennsylvania.  The Company's
branch  offices are located in McKees Rocks,  Allegheny  County and  Washington,
Washington  County,  Pennsylvania.  Based on the Company's  branch locations and
deposit  activity,  the  Company's  market  area  covers  portions  of both  the
Pittsburgh and Washington, Pennsylvania metropolitan areas.

         Economic  growth in the Company's  market areas remains  dependent upon
the local economy. The deposit and loan activity of the Company is significantly
affected by economic  conditions  in its market  areas.  The economy in southern
Allegheny County consists primarily of the service industries, professionals and
some heavy  industries,  while the  economy in  northeastern  Washington  County
consists primarily of agricultural and service industries.

Lending Activities
------------------

         General.  At March 31,  2000,  the  Company's  net  portfolio  of loans
receivable totaled $56.5 million as compared to $65.3 million at March 31, 1999.
Net loans receivable  comprised 37.0% of Company total assets and 74.8% of total
deposits at March 31,  2000,  as compared to 42.1% and 84.9%,  respectively,  at
March 31, 1999. The principal categories of loans in the Company's portfolio are
one- to four-family and multi-family  residential real estate loans,  commercial
real estate loans (including farms), government agency guaranteed and/or insured
real  estate  loans  and  SBA  and  other  government  guaranteed  consumer  and
commercial loans. At March 31, 2000, net government agency guaranteed or insured
loans comprised  38.7% of the Company's net loan  portfolio.  At March 31, 2000,
there were no mortgage loans categorized as held-for-sale.

         One- to four-family Loans. The Company purchases and originates one- to
four-family  mortgage loans secured by property located in the Company's primary
market  areas.  The  Company  generally   originates   owner-occupied   one-  to
four-family  mortgage  loans in amounts up to 80% of the lesser of the appraised
value or selling  price of the mortgaged  property  without  requiring  mortgage
insurance.  The Company will originate a mortgage loan in an amount up to 90% of
the lesser of the  appraised  value or selling  price of a  mortgaged  property,
however,  mortgage insurance is required for the amount in excess of 80% of such
value.  Furthermore,  the  Company  ordinarily  requires  an escrow  account  to
guarantee  payment of taxes and  written  certifications  concerning  occupancy,
terms   of  sale,   and  the   fact   that  no   secondary   financing   exists.
Non-owner-occupied residential mortgage loans are generally originated up to 75%
of the lesser of the appraised value or selling price of the property on a fixed
rate basis only.  Interest  rates  charged on mortgage  loans are  competitively
priced based on market conditions and the Company's cost of funds.

         The Company  currently  originates  only fixed rate loans which provide
for the  repayment  of  principal  and  interest  over a period not to exceed 30
years.  Generally,  the Company's originated fixed rate one- to four-family real
estate  loans  do not  conform  to the  Federal  National  Mortgage  Corporation
("FNMA") and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage  Corporation  ("FHLMC")  guidelines,
and therefore most of the Company's fixed rate one- to four-family loans are not
salable in the secondary market.  The Company  originates and retains such loans
for its portfolio to meet  community  lending needs.  All  originated  loans are
serviced by the Company.

         The Company purchases one- to four-family  adjustable rate ("ARMs") and
fixed rate  mortgages.  Purchased one- to four-family  fixed rate and adjustable
rate mortgages are primarily  bought from local mortgage  banking  companies and
conform to FHLMC  guidelines.  Purchased ARMs provide for periodic interest rate
adjustments not to exceed plus or minus 2.0% per year with a maximum  adjustment
over the term of the loan as set forth in the loan  agreement  of 6.0% above the
initial interest rate depending on the terms of the loan. ARMs typically reprice
every  year,  although  some adjust  every three or five years,  and provide for
terms of up to 30 years with most loans having terms of between 15 and 30 years.
The Company's  purchased  ARMs are generally  indexed to the one- and three-year
Constant Maturity Treasuries ("CMT").

         Adjustable  rate  mortgage  loans  decrease the risks  associated  with
changes in interest  rates by  periodically  repricing,  but involve other risks
because as interest  rates  increase,  the  underlying  payments by the borrower
increase,  thus  increasing  the  potential for default.  At the same time,  the
marketability of the underlying  collateral may be adversely  affected by higher
interest  rates.  Upward  adjustment  of the  contractual  interest rate is also
limited by the maximum periodic and lifetime interest rate adjustment  permitted
by the adjustable  rate mortgage loan documents and,  therefore,  is potentially
limited in  effectiveness  during periods of rapidly rising  interest  rates. At
March 31, 2000, $4.5 million of the Company's one- to four-family loan portfolio
had adjustable rates of interest.

         On occasion,  the Company will buy ARMs with "teaser rates" to increase
its one- to four-family  portfolio to meet its community  lending needs.  Teaser
rate residential  mortgage loans are adjustable rate loans for which the initial
interest rate is  discounted  below the rate  calculated  based upon the formula
used to determine  future interest rate  adjustments.  The interest rate adjusts
annually or every three years,  depending  upon the loan  program,  based upon a
Treasury  Bill index.  Even if the index  remains  constant,  the interest  rate
adjusts upward until it is equal to the index value plus the  applicable  margin
used to calculate  the  interest  rate.  This can have a positive  effect on net
interest income during periods of level or declining  interest  rates.  However,
interest  rate  adjustments  on these  loans  are  generally  limited  to 2% per
adjustment  with a 6%  life-of-loan  maximum rate  increase,  measured  from the
initial  teaser  interest  rate.

                                      -6-
<PAGE>

Therefore, these loans may not fully reflect interest rate changes in a rapid or
sustained  rising interest rate  environment.  Because the  life-of-loan  cap is
measured from the initial teaser rate,  teaser loans may provide less protection
against  rising  rates  than  non-discounted  ARMs  with 6%  life-of-loan  caps.
Furthermore,  borrowers who find themselves able to cope with mortgage  payments
at lower rates may have difficulty  paying higher payments which result when the
interest rate adjusts upward even though general interest rate conditions remain
constant.  Because of the  initially  lower than market rate of interest and the
overall  limit on increased  rates of 6%, these loans do not provide the Company
with the typical amount of protection from interest rate risk as non-teaser rate
ARMs.

         During  the year ended  March 31,  2000,  the  Company  purchased  $1.6
million of one- to four-family loans, all of which were fixed rate mortgages.

         Government Agency  Guaranteed  and/or Insured Real Estate.  The Company
acquires Farm Service Agency ("FSA") and United States Department of Agriculture
("USDA")  commercial  loans  including  farms,  Federal  Housing  Administration
("FHA") and GNMA project loans, and other FHA and Veterans Administration ("VA")
loans from approved  dealers.  During the year ended March 31, 2000, the Company
purchased  whole  loans or a  participating  interest in  government  guaranteed
mortgage loans totaling $1.1 million.

         Of the $11.7 million  balance of government  guaranteed  loans at March
31, 2000, FSA and USDA, FHA and GNMA project, FHA, and VA loans amounted to $5.4
million, $4.1 million, $1.6 million and $577,000, respectively.

         FSA and USDA loans are secured by farm real  estate  located in various
parts of the United States. For certain risks associated with farm lending,  see
"Agricultural Related Lending." FSA and USDA loans are guaranteed as to interest
and 90% of the principal.  The Company  reduces its risk by purchasing  only the
guaranteed portions of a FSA or USDA loan.

         Much of the FHA and GNMA project  loans held by the Company  consist of
multi-family  housing  located  throughout  the  United  States.  Such loans are
guaranteed  100% by the sponsoring  government  enterprise and can be considered
for  Community  Reinvestment  Act ("CRA")  credit,  provided  certain  community
lending tests are satisfied.

         FHA and VA loans are secured by one- to four-family  properties located
in the Company's primary market area.

         Multi-family   and  Commercial  Real  Estate  Loans.  The  Company  has
historically  originated a limited amount of loans secured by multi-family  real
estate,  including non-owner occupied  residential  multi-family  dwelling units
(more than four  units).  The  commercial  real estate loans  originated  by the
Company  consist  primarily  of loans  secured  by  small  office  buildings.  A
substantial part of the Company's  originated  commercial and multi-family  real
estate loans are secured by commercial buildings,  apartment complexes and other
multi-family  residential  properties  located in the Company's  primary  market
area.

         The Company  generally  originates  commercial  and  multi-family  real
estate loans up to 75% of the appraised value of the property securing the loan.
The commercial  and  multi-family  real estate loans in the Company's  portfolio
generally consist of fixed rate loans which were originated at prevailing market
rates for terms up to 20 years.

                                      -7-
<PAGE>

         Beginning in 1996, the Company entered into a  participation  agreement
with PennWest Farm Credit, ACA ("PWFC").  In January 1999, PennWest Farm Credit,
ACA consolidated  with York Farm, ACA in York, PA and Northeastern  Farm Credit,
ACA in Lewisburg, PA to become AgChoice Farm Credit, ACA ("AgChoice").  AgChoice
is an Agricultural Credit Association in the AgFirst district. Approximately 130
employees   provide   financial    products   and   services   to   over   9,500
member/stockholders  in fifty-two central and western Pennsylvania  counties, as
well as four counties in West Virginia.

         Under the agreement with PWFC,  which extends to AgChoice,  the Company
participates on a 90% basis in secured  long-term real estate mortgage loans and
short-and  intermediate-term  loans for  agricultural  production  or  operating
purposes,  some of  which  are FSA or USDA  insured.  The  Company  attempts  to
participate in loans located in its market area; however, all PWFC participation
loans are on  properties  located in  Pennsylvania.  See  "Agricultural  Related
Lending" and "Government Agency Guaranteed and/or Insured Real Estate".

         During  the year ended  March 31,  2000,  the  Company  purchased  from
AgChoice  a  participating  interest  in  adjustable  rate farm  loans  totaling
$328,000,  which are included in the Company's commercial real estate portfolio.
The ARMs typically  reprice every year,  although some adjust every 3 to 5 years
and some adjust  monthly.  The Company's ARMs repricing  every one to five years
are  generally  indexed to the one- and  three-year  CMT and the ARMs  repricing
monthly are generally indexed to Prime.

         Loans secured by commercial  (including  farms) and  multi-family  real
estate are  generally  larger and involve a greater  degree of risk than one- to
four-family  mortgage loans.  Of primary concern in commercial and  multi-family
real estate lending is the borrower's creditworthiness, the feasibility and cash
flow  potential  of the  project,  and the outlook for  successful  operation or
management  of the  properties.  As a  result,  repayment  of such  loans may be
subject,  to a greater  extent than  residential  real estate loans,  to adverse
conditions  in the real  estate  market or the  economy.  However,  the  Company
believes that the higher yields and shorter terms compensate the Company for the
increased  credit risk  associated with such loans.  Furthermore,  in accordance
with the Company's  classification  of assets policy and procedure,  the Company
requests  annual  financial  statements on major loans secured by commercial and
multi-family  real estate.  At March 31,  2000,  the largest  multi-family  real
estate loan totaled $667,000 and consisted of an apartment building,  located in
Hopewell Township, Beaver County, Pennsylvania. The Company's largest commercial
real estate loan totaled $1.1  million at March 31,  2000,  and  consisted of an
office  building  located  in  Carnegie,  Pennsylvania.  See also  "Loans to One
Borrower."

         Small  Business  Administration  Loans.  In  1992,  the  Company  began
purchasing  loans  qualifying for  guarantees  issued by the United States Small
Business  Administration,  an independent agency of the Federal government.  SBA
guarantees  on such loans  currently  range from 75% to 80% of the principal and
interest  balance.  SBA  loans  are  generally  made to small  and  medium  size
businesses.  Such loans are secured by first or second mortgages on real estate,
and additional collateral such as personal property or other real property.  SBA
commercial  loans  consist of, among other things,  commercial  lines of credit,
commercial vehicle loans, and working capital loans and are typically secured by
residential or commercial property, receivables or inventory, or some other form
of  collateral.  SBA loans  generally  have terms ranging from seven to 25 years
depending on the use of the proceeds.  To qualify for an SBA loan,  the borrower
must  demonstrate  the capacity to service the loan  exclusive of the collateral
and have a  history  of income  and  ability  to repay the loan from  historical
earnings and/or reliable projections.

         If a borrower  defaults on an SBA loan,  the SBA lender or servicer may
proceed to pursue its  remedies,  subject to prior  approval by the SBA,  and if
received,  the  SBA or the  SBA  lender  or  servicer  would  proceed  with  the
collection  of the loan and any losses are shared  pro-rated  by the SBA and the
holder

                                      -8-
<PAGE>

of the unguaranteed  portion.  This generally does not result in the shifting of
the loss to the Company as holder of the guaranteed portion. However, if the SBA
determines  that a loan is in default due to deficiencies in the manner in which
the loan  application  was  prepared  or due to other  underwriting  or document
deficiencies,  the SBA may  decline to honor its  guarantee  on the loan or seek
recovery of damages from the SBA lender or servicer.

         The  Company  purchases  only the SBA  guaranteed  portion of the loan.
Because the purchased  portion is guaranteed,  such loans have lower yields than
other types of loans. These loans are generally sold at a premium, primarily due
to the SBA's guarantee.  The  nonguaranteed  portion of the loan is retained and
serviced by the originator or such other third party.  Servicers are required to
service all SBA loans in accordance with the SBA's rules and regulations. During
the year ended March 31, 2000, the Company purchased $573,000 of SBA loans.

         Agricultural  Related Lending. The Company primarily purchases loans to
finance  the  purchase  of  livestock,  farm  machinery  and  equipment,   seed,
fertilizer and other farm related  products.  Agricultural real estate loans are
primarily  originated with adjustable rates of interest.  Generally,  such loans
provide  for a fixed  rate of  interest  for the first  three  years,  adjusting
annually thereafter.  In addition,  such loans provide for a ten year term based
on a 20 year  amortization  schedule.  Adjustable rate  agricultural real estate
loans provide for a margin over the yields on the  corresponding  U.S.  Treasury
Securities.  Agricultural  real estate loans are generally limited to 75% of the
value of the property.

         Agricultural  operating loans are originated at either an adjustable or
fixed rate of interest  for up to a one year term or, in the case of  livestock,
upon sale.  Most  agricultural  operating  loans have terms of one year or less.
Such loans generally provide for annual payments of principal and interest, or a
lump sum payment upon maturity if the original term is less than one year. Loans
secured by  agricultural  machinery are generally  originated as adjustable rate
loans with terms of up to seven years.

         Agricultural  related  lending  affords the Company the  opportunity to
earn yields  higher than those  obtainable  to one- to  four-family  residential
lending. Nevertheless, agricultural related lending involves a greater degree of
risk  than  one-  to  four-family  residential  mortgage  loans  because  of the
typically larger loan amount. In addition,  payments on loans are dependent upon
the successful operation or management of the farm property securing the loan or
for which an  operating  loan is  utilized.  The success of the loan may also be
affected  by many  factors  outside the  control of the farm  borrower,  such as
weather, government farm policy,  international demand for agricultural products
and changing consumer preferences.

         At March 31,  2000,  the  Company's  agricultural  loans  totaled  $2.1
million, all of which were government guaranteed loans.

         Consumer Loans. The Company offers consumer loans in order to provide a
wider range of financial services to its customers. Federal savings associations
are  permitted to make secured and unsecured  consumer  loans up to 35% of their
assets. In addition,  savings  associations have lending authority above the 35%
limitation for certain consumer loans,  such as home equity,  home  improvement,
mobile home, and savings account or passbook loans.

         In  connection  with  consumer  loan  applications  (excluding  savings
account loans),  the Company verifies the borrower's income and reviews a credit
report. In addition, the relationship of the loan to the value of the collateral
is considered. Due to the type and nature of the collateral,  and, in some cases
the absence of collateral,  consumer loans generally have shorter terms,  higher
interest  rates and involve more

                                      -9-
<PAGE>

credit risk as  compared  to one- to  four-family  residential  loans.  Consumer
lending  collections  are typically  dependent  upon the  borrower's  continuing
financial  stability,  and thus, are more likely to be adversely effected by job
loss,  divorce,  illness,  and personal  bankruptcy.  Generally,  collateral for
consumer loans depreciates rapidly and often does not provide an adequate source
of repayment of the outstanding  loan balance.  The remaining  deficiency  often
warrants  litigation  against  the  borrower  and is  usually  turned  over to a
collection  agency  or law firm  which is  costly to the  Company.  The  Company
attempts to limit its exposure in consumer  lending by originating  only a small
amount of such  loans and by  focusing  on  consumer  loans  secured  by deposit
accounts.

         Loan Approval Procedures and Authority. Loan originations are generally
obtained from existing customers,  members of the local community, and referrals
from real estate brokers, lawyers,  accountants,  and current and past customers
within the Company's lending area.

         Upon receipt of any loan  application  from a prospective  borrower,  a
credit  report and  verifications  are ordered to confirm  specific  information
relating to the loan applicant's  employment,  income,  and credit standing.  An
appraisal or valuation determination, subject to regulatory requirements, of the
real estate  intended to secure the proposed loan is  undertaken.  In connection
with the loan approval process,  the chief lending officer (the President of the
Company) analyzes the loan applications and the property, if any, involved.  All
loans  originated or purchased are  underwritten  and processed at the Company's
main  office by the chief  lending  officer,  subject  to the loan  underwriting
policies as approved by the Board of Directors.  All  purchased  and  originated
loans are approved or ratified by the Board of Directors.

         Loan applicants are promptly notified of the decision of the Company by
a letter  setting forth the terms and  conditions of the decision.  If approved,
these terms and conditions include the amount of the loan,  interest rate basis,
amortization term, a brief description of the real estate to be mortgaged to the
Company,  and the notice  requirement of insurance  coverage to be maintained to
protect the Company's  interest.  The Company  requires title insurance on first
mortgage loans and fire and casualty insurance on all properties securing loans,
which  insurance  must be  maintained  during the entire  term of the loan.  The
Company also requires flood insurance,  if appropriate,  in order to protect the
Company's  interest in the security  property.  Mortgage  loans  originated  and
purchased by the Company generally include  due-on-sale clauses that provide the
Company with the contractual  right to deem the loan immediately due and payable
in the event that the borrower  transfers  ownership of the property without the
Company's consent.

         Loan  Servicing.  The Company  services  the loans it  originates.  The
Company  also  services a small  number of loans for another  institution.  Loan
servicing  includes  collecting  and remitting  loan  payments,  accounting  for
principal and interest,  making  inspections as required of mortgaged  premises,
contacting  delinquent   mortgagors,   supervising   foreclosures  and  property
dispositions in the event of unremedied  defaults,  and generally  administering
the  loans.  Funds  that have been  escrowed  by  borrowers  for the  payment of
mortgage-related  expenses,  such as  property  taxes  and  hazard,  flood,  and
mortgage insurance  premiums,  are maintained in escrow accounts at the Company.
The Company  does not service  any of the loans it  purchases  as such loans are
primarily  purchased on a servicing  released basis. The Company does,  however,
monitor the servicers of purchased loans to ensure accurate and timely payments.
At March 31,  2000,  the Company had $46.7  million of its total loan  portfolio
serviced by others and $10.0 million were serviced by the Company.

         Loan Commitments. The Company issues written commitments to prospective
borrowers on all approved  mortgage loans which generally  expire within 45 days
of the date of issuance.  The Company  charges no  commitment  fees or points to
lock in rates or to secure commitments. In some instances, after

                                      -10-
<PAGE>

a review of the rate,  terms, and  circumstances,  commitments may be renewed or
extended  beyond  the 45 day  limit.  At March  31,  2000,  the  Company  had no
outstanding commitments.

         Loans to One Borrower.  Federal regulations limit loans-to-one borrower
or an  affiliated  group of borrowers  in an amount  equal to 15% of  unimpaired
capital and unimpaired surplus of the Company. The Company is authorized to lend
up to an additional 10% of unimpaired capital and unimpaired surplus if the loan
is fully  secured by  readily  marketable  collateral.  At March 31,  2000,  the
Company was in compliance with applicable loans-to-one borrower limitations.

         At March 31, 2000, the Company's largest lending  relationship was $1.6
million.  This  relationship  consisted  of two  loans  secured  by  two  office
buildings  located  in  Carnegie,   Pennsylvania.  The  second  largest  lending
relationship  consisted  of two loans  totaling  $756,000  secured  by an office
building  located in Pittsburgh,  Pennsylvania  and a 36 unit apartment  complex
located in Hopewell  Township,  Beaver County,  Pennsylvania.  The third largest
lending  relationship  consisted  of three loans  totaling  $696,000  secured by
apartment  buildings  located in South  Fayette  Township  and Crafton  Borough,
Pennsylvania.  At March 31, 2000, these loans were performing in accordance with
their terms.

Non-Performing and Problem Assets

         Loan Delinquencies.  The Company's  collection  procedures provide that
when a  mortgage  loan is 30 days past due, a  delinquent  notice is sent to the
borrower  and a late  charge is  imposed in  accordance  with the  mortgage.  If
payment is still  delinquent  after  approximately  60 days,  the borrower  will
receive a notice of default establishing a date by which the borrower must bring
the account current or foreclosure proceedings will be instituted.  Late charges
are also imposed in  accordance  with the mortgage.  If the loan  continues in a
delinquent  status for 90 days past due and no repayment plan is in effect,  the
account is turned over to an attorney  for  collection  or  foreclosure  and the
borrower is notified when  foreclosure has commenced.  At March 31, 2000,  loans
past due greater than 90 days totaled $48,000 or .03% of total assets.

         Management reviews all delinquent loans on a monthly basis and provides
delinquency  reports to the President  and the Board of Directors.  In addition,
the Board of  Directors  performs a  quarterly  review of all  delinquent  loans
ninety  days or more past due.  Loans are  placed  on  non-accrual  status  when
considered  doubtful of collection by management.  Generally,  loans past due 90
days or more as to principal and interest  which,  in the opinion of management,
are not adequately  secured to insure the  collection of the entire  outstanding
balance of the loan including accrued interest are placed on non-accrual status.
Interest  accrued and unpaid at the time a loan is placed on non-accrual  status
is charged against interest income.

         There are no loans accounted for on a non-accrual basis; therefore, all
interest was recorded and included in the Company's interest income for the year
ended March 31, 2000.

         The Company's three largest  non-performing loans are secured by single
family properties, two of which are located in Carnegie,  Pennsylvania,  and the
third is located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

         Classified Assets. Federal regulations and the Company's Classification
of  Assets  Policy   require  that  the  Company   utilize  an  internal   asset
classification  system as a means of  reporting  problem and  potential  problem
assets.  The Company has incorporated the OTS internal asset  classifications as
part of its credit monitoring system.  The Company currently  classifies problem
and potential problem assets as  "substandard,"  "doubtful" or "loss" assets. An
asset is considered  substandard if it is inadequately  protected by the current
equity and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral  pledged, if any.
Substandard  assets include those  characterized  by the "distinct  possibility"
that the insured  institution  will sustain "some loss" if the  deficiencies are
not corrected. Assets classified as doubtful have all of the weaknesses inherent
in those  classified  as  substandard,  with the added  characteristic  that the
weaknesses  present make  "collection  or  liquidation in full," on the basis of
currently  existing facts,  conditions,  and values,  "highly  questionable  and
improbable." Assets classified as loss are those considered  "uncollectible" and
of such little value that their  continuance as assets without the establishment
of a specific  loss  reserve is not  warranted.  Assets  which do not  currently
expose the insured  institution to sufficient risk to warrant  classification in
one of the  aforementioned  categories but possess weaknesses are required to be
designated "Special Mention."

         When  an  insured  institution  classifies  problem  assets  as  either
substandard or doubtful, it is required to establish general allowances for loan
losses in amounts  deemed prudent by management.  General  allowances  represent
loss  allowances  which have been  established  to recognize  the inherent  risk
associated with lending activities, but which, unlike specific allowances,  have
not been allocated to particular  problem  assets.  When an insured  institution
classifies problem assets as loss, it is required either to establish a specific
allowance  equal to 100% of that portion of the asset so classified or to charge
off such amount.  General loss  allowances  established to cover possible losses
related to assets  classified  as  substandard  or doubtful or to cover risks of
lending  in  general  may be  included  as part of an  institution's  regulatory
capital,  while  specific  allowances do not qualify as regulatory  capital.  An
institution's  determination  as to the  classification  of its  assets  and the
amount of its valuation  allowances  is subject to review by the OTS,  which may
order the establishment of additional general or specific loss allowances.

         For financial reporting purposes, the Company follows the guidelines of
Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards  ("SFAS") No. 114  "Accounting  by
Creditors for  Impairment of a Loan" and SFAS 118  "Accounting  by Creditors for
Impairment of a Loan-Income  Recognition and  Disclosures," an amendment of SFAS
114. SFAS 114 addresses the  accounting by creditors for  impairment of loans by
specifying  how reserves for credit  losses  related to certain  loans should be
measured.  SFAS 118 rescinds SFAS 114 rules to permit a creditor to use existing
methods for  recognizing  interest  income on impaired  loans and eliminated the
income recognition provisions of SFAS 114.

         In accordance  with its  classification  of assets policy,  the Company
regularly  reviews the problem assets in its portfolio to determine  whether any
assets require classification in accordance with applicable regulations.  On the
basis of management's  review of its assets,  at March 31, 2000, the Company had
classified  $50,000  of loans as  substandard  and no loans were  classified  as
doubtful,  loss,  or  special  mention.  Of  the  $50,000  classified,   $48,000
represents the principal  balance of such loans and $2,000 represents an advance
for taxes on one of the properties.

         The  largest  classified  asset  is a  single-family  mortgage  with an
outstanding  principal  balance  of  approximately  $29,000.  The  owner  of the
property is deceased  and an estate is being  established.  A claim will be made
against the estate.

         Allowance for Loan Losses. Management regularly performs an analysis to
identify the inherent risk of loss in the Company's loan  portfolio.  Provisions
for losses on loans are charged to  operations  in an amount that  results in an
allowance for loan losses sufficient, in management's judgement, to cover

                                      -13-
<PAGE>

losses based on management's  periodic evaluation of known and inherent risks in
the loan  portfolio,  past loss  experience  of the  Company,  current  economic
conditions,  industry loss reserve levels,  adverse  situations which may affect
the  borrower,  the  estimated  value of any  underlying  collateral  and  other
relevant factors. The Board of Director's Classified Asset Committee reviews and
approves the loan loss reserve on a quarterly basis.

         The Company will  continue to monitor its allowance for loan losses and
make future additions to the allowance  through the provision for loan losses as
economic  conditions  dictate.  Although the Company maintains its allowance for
loan  losses at a level that it  considers  to be  adequate  to provide  for the
inherent  risk of loss in its loan  portfolio,  there can be no  assurance  that
future losses will not exceed  estimated  amounts or that additional  provisions
for loan  losses  will not be  required  in future  periods.  In  addition,  the
Company's  determination  as to the amount of its  allowance  for loan losses is
subject  to review by the OTS,  as part of its  examination  process,  which may
result in the  establishment of an additional  allowance based upon the judgment
of the OTS after a review of the  information  available  at the time of the OTS
examination.

         At March 31, 2000,  the  Company's  allowance  for loan losses  totaled
$425,000 or .75% of net loans receivable and 885.4% of non-performing  loans, as
compared to $575,000 or .88% of net loans receivable and 70.3% of non-performing
loans at March 31, 1999.

         Real Estate Owned.  Real estate  acquired by the Company as a result of
foreclosure,  judgment,  or deed in lieu of  foreclosure  is  classified as real
estate owned until it is sold.  When property is so acquired,  it is recorded at
the  lower of the cost or fair  value at the date of  acquisition  and any write
down  resulting  therefrom is charged to the allowance for losses on real estate
owned. All costs incurred in maintaining the Company's  interest in the property
are  capitalized  between the date the loan becomes  delinquent  and the date of
acquisition.  After the date of  acquisition,  all costs incurred in maintaining
the property are expensed and costs incurred for the  improvement or development
of such  property are  capitalized.  At March 31, 2000,  the Company had no real
estate owned.

Investment Activities of the Company

         Investment   Securities.   The  Company  is  required   under   federal
regulations  to maintain a minimum amount of liquid assets which may be invested
in specified  short term securities and certain other  investments.  The Company
has  maintained  a liquidity  portfolio  in excess of  regulatory  requirements.
Liquidity  levels may be  increased or  decreased  depending  upon the yields on
investment  alternatives and upon management's judgment as to the attractiveness
of the  yields  then  available  in  relation  to  other  opportunities  and its
expectation of future yield levels,  as well as  management's  projections as to
the short term demand for funds to be used in the Company's loan origination and
other activities.  At March 31, 2000, the Company's  investment portfolio policy
allowed  investments  in instruments  such as U.S.  Treasury  obligations,  U.S.
federal agency or federally  sponsored  agency  obligations,  state,  county and
municipal  obligations,  mortgage-backed and asset-backed  securities,  banker's
acceptances,  certificates of deposit,  federal funds,  including FHLB overnight
and term  deposits (up to six months),  as well as  investment  grade  corporate
bonds and  commercial  paper.  The Board of Directors may  authorize  additional
investments.

                                      -16-
<PAGE>
         The  Company's  investment  portfolio at March 31, 2000 did not contain
securities  of any issuer with an  aggregate  book value in excess of 10% of the
Company's equity,  excluding those issued by the United States Government or its
agencies.

         Mortgage-Backed   Securities.   The  Company   invests  in  residential
mortgage-backed  securities.  Mortgage-backed securities can serve as collateral
for  borrowings  and  as  a  source  of  liquidity.  Mortgage-backed  securities
represent a participation  interest in a pool of  single-family or other type of
mortgages,  the  principal  and  interest  payments on which are passed from the
mortgage originators,  through intermediaries (generally government sponsored or
quasi-governmental agencies) that pool and repackage the participation interests
in  the  form  of   securities,   to  investors   such  as  the  Company.   Such
quasi-governmental  agencies,  which  guarantee  the  payment of  principal  and
interest to investors, primarily include FHLMC, GNMA, and FNMA.

         Mortgage-backed  securities  typically are issued with stated principal
amounts and the securities are backed by pools of mortgages that have loans with
interest  rates  that  are  within  a range  and have  varying  maturities.  The
underlying  pool of mortgages can be composed of either fixed rate or adjustable
rate mortgage loans.  The interest rate risk  characteristics  of the underlying
pool of mortgages (i.e.,  fixed rate or adjustable  rate), as well as prepayment
risk, are passed on to the  certificate  holder.  The life of a  mortgage-backed
pass-through security is equal to the life of the underlying mortgages.

Sources of Funds

         General.  Deposits  are the  major  source of the  Company's  funds for
lending and other investment  purposes.  The Company also derives funds from the
(1) amortization and prepayment of loans,  (2) sales,  maturities,  and calls of
securities,  and (3)  operations.  Scheduled  loan  principal  repayments  are a
relatively  stable source of funds,  while deposit inflows and outflows and loan
prepayments are  significantly  influenced by general  interest rates and market
conditions. The Company also borrows funds from the FHLB. See also "Borrowings."

         Deposits.  Consumer and commercial  deposits are attracted  principally
from  within the  Company's  primary  market  areas  through  the  offering of a
selection  of deposit  instruments  including  passbook  accounts,  interest and
non-interest checking accounts,  money market deposit accounts,  and certificate
of deposit accounts. Deposit account terms vary according to the minimum balance
required,  the time period the funds must remain on  deposit,  and the  interest
rate, among other factors.

         The  interest  rates paid by the Company on deposits  are set weekly at
the  direction  of  the  asset/liability   management  committee.   The  Company
determines the interest rate to offer the public on new and maturing accounts by
reviewing the market interest rates offered by  competitors,  the Company's need
for funds,  and the current  cost of money.  The Company  reviews,  weekly,  the
interest rates being offered by other financial  institutions  within its market
areas.

         Deposit  Portfolio.  Deposits  in the Company at March 31,  2000,  were

Borrowings

         The  Company  may  obtain  advances  from  the  FHLB of  Pittsburgh  to
supplement  its supply of lendable  funds.  Advances from the FHLB of Pittsburgh
are  typically  secured  by a  pledge  of the  Company's  stock  in the  FHLB of
Pittsburgh and a portion of the Company's mortgage-backed  securities portfolio.
Each FHLB borrowing has its own interest  rate,  which may be fixed or variable,
and range of maturities.  The Company,  if the need arises,  may also access the
Federal  Reserve Bank discount window to supplement its supply of lendable funds
and to meet  deposit  withdrawal  requirements.  For the period  ended March 31,
2000, the effective annualized cost of borrowings from the FHLB was 5.22%.

         The following table sets forth  information  concerning only short-term

Bank Subsidiary Activity

         The Bank is  permitted  to invest up to 2% of its assets in the capital
stock of, or secured or unsecured  loans to,  subsidiary  corporations,  with an
additional  investment  of 1% of  assets  when  such  additional  investment  is
utilized primarily for community  development  purposes.  At March 31, 2000, the
Bank was  authorized to invest up to $3.1 million or 2% of its assets.  At March
31, 2000, the Bank had one wholly-owned subsidiary, Fedcar, Inc. ("Fedcar"). The
Bank dissolved its Delaware  Corporation,  Carnegie Federal Funding  Corporation
("CFFC").

         Fedcar is a Pennsylvania  corporation  organized in 1973.  Its  current
activities  consist  solely of  collecting  an  immaterial  amount of  insurance
commissions. At March 31, 2000, Fedcar had total assets, liabilities, and equity
of $18,000, $0, and $18,000, respectively.

         Carnegie  Federal  Funding  Corporation  was  a  Delaware   corporation
organized in January 1986 to issue and service  collateralized bonds in the form
of collateralized  mortgage obligations  ("CMOs").  CFFC fully repaid the CMO in
September 1999 and the corporation was subsequently dissolved.

Personnel

         As of March 31, 2000, the Company had 18 full-time  employees.  None of
the Company's  employees are represented by a collective  bargaining  group. The
Company believes that its relationship with its employees is good.

                                   REGULATION

         Set forth below is a brief  description of certain laws which relate to
the regulation of the Company.  The description  does not purport to be complete
and  is  qualified  in  its  entirety  by  reference  to  applicable   laws  and
regulations.

General

         As a federally chartered, SAIF-insured savings association, the Company
is subject to extensive regulation by the OTS, as its primary regulator, and the
FDIC, as the depositor  insurer.  Lending  activities and other investments must
comply with federal and state statutory and regulatory requirements. The Company
is also subject to reserve  requirements of the Federal Reserve System.  Federal
regulation and supervision  establishes a comprehensive  framework of activities
in which an institution can engage and is intended  primarily for the protection
of the SAIF and depositors.  The regulatory  structure also gives the regulatory
authorities  extensive  discretion  in  connection  with their  supervisory  and
enforcement activities and examination policies, including policies with respect
to the  classification  of assets and the  establishment  of adequate  loan loss
reserves for regulatory purposes.

         The Company must file reports with the OTS and the FDIC  concerning its
activities and financial  condition,  and must obtain regulatory approvals prior
to entering into certain  transactions  such as mergers with or  acquisitions of
other financial  institutions.  Any change in such  regulations,  whether by the
OTS,  the FDIC or the United  States  Congress,  could  have a material  adverse
impact on the Company and the Bank, and their operations. The changes to federal
banking  law  affected  by  the  Gramm-Leach-Bliley  Act  are  not  expected  to
materially impact the Company or the Bank.

Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation

         Deposit  Insurance.  The FDIC is an  independent  federal  agency  that
insures the deposits,  up to prescribed  statutory  limits, of federally insured
banks and savings  institutions  and  safeguards the safety and soundness of the
banking and savings industries. Two separate insurance funds, the Bank Insurance
Fund ("BIF") for commercial banks,  state savings banks and some federal savings
banks, and the SAIF for savings associations, are maintained and administered by
the FDIC. The Bank is a member of the SAIF and its deposit  accounts are insured
by the FDIC, up to the prescribed  limits.  The FDIC has  examination  authority
over all insured  depository  institutions,  including  the Bank,  and has under
certain  circumstances,   authority  to  initiate  enforcement  actions  against
federally insured savings institutions to safeguard safety and soundness and the
deposit insurance fund.

         Assessments.  The  FDIC is  authorized  to  establish  separate  annual
assessment rates for deposit  insurance for members of the BIF and the SAIF. The
FDIC may increase  assessment  rates for either fund if necessary to restore the
fund's  ratio of  reserves  to insured  deposits  to its target  level  within a
reasonable time and may decrease such assessment  rates if such target level has
been met. The FDIC has established a risk-based  assessment system for both SAIF
and BIF members. Under this system, assessments are set within a range, based on
the risk the institution poses to its deposit insurance fund. This risk level is
determined  based on the  institution's  capital  level and the FDIC's  level of
supervisory concern about the institution.

         The FDIC  charges an annual  assessment  for the  insurance of deposits
based on the risk a particular  institution poses to its deposit insurance fund.
Under this  system,  a bank or thrift pays within a range of 0 cents to 27 cents
per  $100  of  domestic   deposits,   depending  upon  the  institution's   risk
classification.  This

                                      -23-
<PAGE>

risk  classification is based on an institution's  capital group and supervisory
subgroup  assignment.  In  addition,  the FDIC is  authorized  to increase  such
deposit  insurance  rates,  on a semi-annual  basis,  if it determines that such
action is  necessary  to cause the  balance in the SAIF to reach the  designated
reserve ratio of 1.25% of SAIF-insured  deposits  within a reasonable  period of
time.  The FDIC also may impose  special  assessments  on SAIF  members to repay
amounts borrowed from the U.S. Treasury or for any other reason deemed necessary
by the FDIC. The Bank's federal deposit  insurance  premium expense for the year
ended March 31, 2000, approximated $38,000.

Regulation of the Company as a Mid-tier Stock Holding Company

         The  Company  is a  mid-tier  stock  holding  company.  Under OTS rules
permitting a mutual  holding  company to establish a  subsidiary  stock  holding
company,  a mid-tier  stock  holding  company  will  "stand in the shoes" of the
parent mutual  holding  company,  or in certain  circumstances,  the  subsidiary
savings  association.  Thus,  the mid-tier  stock  holding  company is generally
subject to the same  restrictions and limitations that are currently  applicable
to the mutual  holding  company  and its  savings  association  subsidiary.  The
Company is therefore subject to the following provisions, among others:

         (i)    A  mid-tier  stock  holding  company  is  treated  as a multiple
                savings and loan  holding  company and not as a unitary  savings
                and loan holding company.

         (ii)   A  mid-tier  stock  holding  company  is  subject  to  the  same
                restrictions  as the mutual holding  company on pledges of stock
                of the savings association  subsidiary,  and the proceeds of any
                loan secured by the savings  association's stock must be infused
                into the savings association.

         (iii)  A mid-tier stock holding company is subject to the same dividend
                waiver restrictions as those imposed on the savings association;
                accordingly,  in waiving any dividend paid by the mid-tier stock
                holding  company,  the mutual  holding  company is  required  to
                follow  the same  procedures  it  currently  follows  in waiving
                dividends paid by the savings association.

         (iv)   A  mid-tier  stock  holding  company  is  subject  to  the  same
                restrictions  on  indemnification  and  employment  contracts as
                those imposed on the mutual holding company.

         (v)    A mid-tier stock holding company is permitted to engage in stock
                repurchase  programs provided the mid-tier stock holding company
                complies  with  OTS  regulations   relating  to  repurchases  by
                subsidiary savings associations.  Absent unusual  circumstances,
                for purposes of the three-year  restriction on repurchases,  the
                OTS will generally  permit a mid-tier  stock holding  company to
                "tack on" or include the period that the shares initially issued
                by the savings association were outstanding.

Regulatory Capital Requirements

         The OTS capital regulations require savings  institutions to meet three
minimum capital  standards:  a 1.5% tangible  capital ratio, a 3% leverage ratio
and an 8% risk-based  capital ratio. In addition,  the prompt  corrective action
standards  discussed  below also  establish,  in effect,  a minimum 2%  tangible
capital standard, a 4% leverage ratio (3% for institutions receiving the highest
rating on the CAMEL financial institution rating system), and, together with the
risk-based capital standard itself, a 4% Tier 1 risk-based capital standard. The
OTS  regulations  also  require  that,  in meeting the  tangible,  leverage  and
risk-based capital standards,  institutions must generally deduct investments in
and loans to  subsidiaries  engaged  in  activities  as  principal  that are not
permissible for a national bank.

                                      -24-
<PAGE>
         The risk-based capital standard for savings  institutions  requires the
maintenance of Tier 1 (core) and total capital (which is defined as core capital
and  supplementary  capital)  to  risk-weighted  assets  of at  least 4% and 8%,
respectively.  In determining the amount of  risk-weighted  assets,  all assets,
including  certain  off-balance  sheet assets,  are  multiplied by a risk-weight
factor of 0% to 100%,  assigned by the OTS capital regulation based on the risks
believed  inherent  in the type of asset.  Core  (Tier 1)  capital is defined as
common stockholders' equity (including retained earnings), certain noncumulative
perpetual preferred stock and related surplus,  and minority interests in equity
accounts  of  consolidated  subsidiaries  less  intangibles  other than  certain
mortgage  servicing  rights and credit card  relationships.  The  components  of
supplementary  capital currently include cumulative  preferred stock,  long-term
perpetual preferred stock, mandatory convertible  securities,  subordinated debt
and  intermediate  preferred  stock and the  allowance for loan and lease losses
limited to a maximum of 1.25% of risk-weighted  assets.  Overall,  the amount of
supplementary  capital  included as part of total capital  cannot exceed 100% of
core capital.

         The  capital  regulations  also  incorporated  an  interest  rate  risk
component.  Savings institutions with "above normal" interest rate risk exposure
are subject to a deduction from total capital for purposes of calculating  their
risk-based  capital  requirements.  For the present  time,  the OTS has deferred
implementation of the interest rate risk component.  At March 31, 2000, the Bank
met each of its capital requirements.


         The following  table presents the Bank's capital  position at March 31,
2000.


                    Actual         Required  Excess    Actual     Required
                    Capital        Capital   Amount    Percent    Percent
                    -------        -------   ------    -------    -------
                                (Dollars in thousands)

Tangible            $24,397          $2,284  $22,113   16.02%       1.50%
Core (Leverage)     $24,397          $4,569  $19,828   16.02%       3.00%
Risk-based          $24,822          $3,689  $21,133   53.83%       8.00%


Prompt Corrective Regulatory Action

         The  OTS is  required  to  take  certain  supervisory  actions  against
undercapitalized   institutions,   the  severity  of  which   depends  upon  the
institution's degree of  undercapitalization.  Generally,  a savings institution
that has a ratio of total  capital  to risk  weighted  assets of less than 8%, a
ratio of Tier 1 (core)  capital  to  risk-weighted  assets  of less then 4% or a
ratio  of  Core  capital  to  total  assets  of less  than  4% (3% or  less  for
institutions  with  the  highest   examination   rating)  is  considered  to  be
"undercapitalized."  A savings  institution that has a total risk-based  capital
ratio less than 6%, a Tier 1 capital  ratio of less than 3% or a leverage  ratio
that is less than 3% is considered to be "significantly  undercapitalized" and a
savings institution that has a tangible capital to assets ratio equal to or less
than 2% is  deemed  to be  "critically  undercapitalized."  Subject  to a narrow
exception,  the OTS is  required  to appoint a receiver  or  conservator  for an
institution that is "critically  undercapitalized." The regulation also provides
that a capital restoration plan must be filed with the OTS within 45 days of the
date a  savings  institution  receives  notice  that  it is  "undercapitalized,"
"significantly  undercapitalized" or "critically  undercapitalized."  Compliance
with the plan must be guaranteed  by any parent  holding  company.  In addition,
numerous  mandatory  supervisory  actions  become  immediately  applicable to an
undercapitalized   institution,   including, but not limited to,

                                      -25-
<PAGE>

increased   monitoring  by  regulators  and  restrictions  on  growth,   capital
distributions  and  expansion.  The OTS  could  also take any one of a number of
discretionary supervisory actions, including the issuance of a capital directive
and the replacement of senior executive officers and directors.

Dividend and Other Capital Distribution Limitations

         The OTS imposes various  restrictions or requirements on the ability of
savings institutions to make capital distributions,  including cash dividends. A
savings  association that is a subsidiary of a savings and loan holding company,
such as the Bank,  must file an application or a notice with the OTS at least 30
days before making a capital distribution. Savings associations are not required
to file an application  for permission to make a capital  distribution  and need
only file a notice if the  following  conditions  are met: (1) they are eligible
for expedited treatment under OTS regulations,  (2) they would remain adequately
capitalized  after  the   distributions,   (3)  the  annual  amount  of  capital
distribution  does not exceed net income for that year to date added to retained
net income for the two preceding years, and (4) the capital  distribution  would
not violate any  agreements  between the OTS and the savings  association or any
OTS regulations. Any other situation would require an application to the OTS.

         In addition,  the OTS could prohibit a proposed capital distribution by
an institution, which would otherwise be permitted by the regulation, if the OTS
determines that the distribution would constitute an unsafe or unsound practice.

Qualified Thrift Lender Test

         Savings  institutions must meet a qualified thrift lender ("QTL") test.
If the Bank  maintains  an  appropriate  level of qualified  thrift  investments
("QTIs") (primarily  residential  mortgages and related  investments,  including
certain  mortgage-related  securities) and otherwise qualifies as a QTL, it will
continue to enjoy full borrowing  privileges  from the FHLB of  Pittsburgh.  The
required  percentage of QTIs is 65% of portfolio  assets  (defined as all assets
minus  intangible  assets,  property used by the  institution  in conducting its
business and liquid  assets equal to 20% of total  assets).  Certain  assets are
subject to a  percentage  limitation  of 20% of portfolio  assets.  In addition,
savings  associations may include shares of stock of the FHLBs,  FNMA, and FHLMC
as QTIs.  Compliance  with the QTL test is determined on a monthly basis in nine
out of every 12 months.  As of March 31, 2000,  qualified thrift  investments of
the Bank were  approximately  93.46% of its portfolio  assets,  and therefore in
compliance with the OTS requirement.

Transactions With Affiliates

         The Company is subject to certain  restrictions  on loans to the MHC or
its non-bank subsidiaries, on investments in the stock or securities thereof, on
the taking of such stock or securities as collateral  for loans to any borrower,
and on the  issuance of a guarantee  or letter of credit on behalf of the MHC or
its non-bank  subsidiaries.  The Company is subject to certain  restrictions  on
most types of transactions with the MHC or its non-bank subsidiaries,  requiring
that the terms of such  transactions  be  substantially  equivalent  to terms of
similar  transactions  with  non-affiliated  firms. In addition,  the Company is
subject  to  restrictions  on loans to its  executive  officers,  directors  and
principal stockholders.

                                      -26-
<PAGE>
Federal Home Loan Bank System

         The Bank is a  member  of the  FHLB of  Pittsburgh,  which is one of 12
regional FHLBs that  administer the home  financing  credit  function of savings
associations.  Each FHLB  serves as a reserve  or central  bank for its  members
within its assigned  region.  It is funded  primarily from proceeds derived from
the sale of  consolidated  obligations  of the FHLB  System.  It makes  loans to
members (i.e.,  advances) in accordance with policies and procedures established
by the  Board  of  Directors  of the  FHLB.  At  March  31,  2000,  the Bank had
outstanding advances of approximately $49.0 million from the FHLB of Pittsburgh.

Community Reinvestment

         Under the Community  Reinvestment  Act ("CRA"),  as  implemented by OTS
regulations,  a savings institution has a continuing and affirmative  obligation
consistent  with its safe and sound  operation  to help meet the credit needs of
its entire community,  including low and moderate income neighborhoods.  The CRA
does not  establish  specific  lending  requirements  or programs for  financial
institutions nor does it limit an institution's  discretion to develop the types
of products  and  services  that it believes  are best suited to its  particular
community, consistent with the CRA. The CRA requires the OTS, in connection with
its examination of a savings institution,  to assess the institution's record of
meeting the credit needs of its  community  and to take such record into account
in its  evaluation of certain  applications  by such  association.  The CRA also
requires all  institutions to make public  disclosure of their CRA ratings.  The
Bank  received a  "Satisfactory"  CRA rating in its most recent  examination  on
April 5, 1999.

Federal Reserve System

         The Federal  Reserve  System  requires all depository  institutions  to
maintain  non-interest  bearing  reserves  at  specified  levels  against  their
transaction accounts (primarily checking and NOW accounts) and non-personal time
deposits.  The balances maintained to meet the reserve  requirements  imposed by
the Federal  Reserve  System may be used to satisfy the  liquidity  requirements
that are imposed by the OTS. At March 31,  2000,  the Company was in  compliance
with these requirements.

         Savings  institutions have authority to borrow from the Federal Reserve
System "discount  window," but Federal Reserve System policy generally  requires
savings  institutions  to exhaust all other sources  before  borrowing  from the
Federal Reserve  System.  The Company had no borrowings from the Federal Reserve
System at March 31, 2000.

Regulation of the Mutual Holding Company

         The MHC is a federal  mutual  holding  company  within  the  meaning of
Section 10(o) of the HOLA, as amended.  As such, the MHC is required to register
with and be  subject  to OTS  examination  and  supervision  as well as  certain
reporting requirements.  In addition, the OTS has enforcement authority over the
MHC and its non-savings  institution  subsidiaries,  if any. Among other things,
this  authority  permits the OTS to restrict  or  prohibit  activities  that are
determined to be a serious risk to the financial safety, soundness, or stability
of a subsidiary  savings  institution.  Unlike bank holding  companies,  federal
mutual holding companies are not subject to any regulatory capital  requirements
or to supervision by the Federal Reserve System.

                                      -27-
<PAGE>
Proposed Regulation

         The  OTS has  announced  that it will  consider  amending  its  capital
standards so as to more closely  conform its  requirements to those of the other
federal banking agencies.  The impact of this possible change is not expected to
materially impact the Bank. The impact on the Company cannot yet be determined.

                          Independent Auditors' Report

The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Skibo Financial Corp.:

We have  audited the  consolidated  statement  of  financial  condition of Skibo
Financial Corp. and subsidiaries  (formerly First Carnegie  Deposit) as of March
31, 1999, and the related  consolidated  statements of income and  comprehensive
income,  stockholders'  equity  and cash  flows for the year then  ended.  These
consolidated  financial  statements  are  the  responsibility  of the  Company's
management.  Our  responsibility is to express an opinion on these  consolidated
financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards  require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance   about  whether  the  financial   statements  are  free  of  material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the  accounting  principles  used and  significant  estimates  made by
management,  as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated  financial statements referred to above present
fairly,  in all material  respects,  the financial  position of Skibo  Financial
Corp. and subsidiaries as of March 31, 1999, and the results of their operations
and their  cash  flows  for the year then  ended in  conformity  with  generally
accepted accounting principles.

                                            /s/ KPMG LLP

Item 8.  Changes  in  and  Disagreements  with  Accountants  on  Accounting  and
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
         Financial Disclosure
         --------------------

         On January 21, 2000,  pursuant to direction from the Board of Directors
("Board") of Skibo Financial Corp., Carnegie, Pennsylvania, ("Corporation"), the
Board's Audit Committee  unanimously  determined  that it would  discontinue the
engagement of KPMG LLP,  Pittsburgh,  Pennsylvania,  ("KPMG") as its independent
auditors.  Furthermore, the Audit Committee determined that the Corporation will
engage  Stokes Kelly & Hinds,  LLC,  Pittsburgh,  Pennsylvania  ("SKH") , as the
Corporation's   auditors  for  the  fiscal  year  ending  March  31,  2000.  The
Corporation's decisions were effective January 21, 2000.

         KPMG audited the consolidated  financial  statements of the Corporation
for the year ended March 31, 1999 and its successor, First Carnegie Deposit, for
the year ended March 31, 1998. The Corporation and First Carnegie  Deposit,  are
collectively  referred to herein as the  ("Corporation").  The audit  reports of
KPMG on the consolidated  financial  statements of the Corporation as of and for
the years ended  March 31, 1999 and 1998 did not contain any adverse  opinion or
disclaimer  of  opinion,  nor were such  reports  qualified  or  modified  as to
uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

         During  the two  fiscal  years  ended  March 31,  1999 and 1998 and the
subsequent  interim period through January 21, 2000, there were no disagreements
with  KPMG on any  matter  of  accounting  principles  or  practices,  financial
statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not
resolved to the  satisfaction of KPMG,  would have caused them to make reference
to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with their reports.

         During the Corporation's two fiscal years ended March 31, 1999 and 1998
and the subsequent interim period preceding SKH's  appointment,  the Corporation
did not consult SKH regarding the application of accounting  principles,  either
completed  or proposed,  or the type of audit  opinion that might be rendered on
the Corporation's financial statements.
