                    AUTHORIZATION OF STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM

         Carnegie,  Pennsylvania  --  February  15,  2000 --  Walter  G.  Kelly,
President of Skibo Financial Corp., Carnegie,  Pennsylvania (Nasdaq "SKBO"), the
holding  company of First Carnegie  Deposit,  announced  today that its Board of
Directors  has adopted a stock  repurchase  plan to  repurchase up to 10% of its
1,397,224  outstanding  shares of common stock held by persons  other than Skibo
Bancshares,  M.H.C.,  its mutual  holding  company.  The  Company  will file the
necessary  regulatory  application for  authorization to initiate the repurchase
program;  however, there can be no assurance that regulatory  authorization will
be  received.  The Company  cannot  commence  this  repurchase  program  without
obtaining regulatory approval.

         This  repurchase  program  follows the  repurchase of 155,250 shares or
4.5% of the Company's common stock pursuant to its initial repurchase program.

         The repurchases,  if regulatory  approval is received,  will be made in
open-market  transactions  subject  to the  availability  of stock.  Repurchased
shares will  become  authorized  but  unissued  shares and will be utilized  for
general  corporate  and other  purposes,  including  the  issuances of shares in
connection with the exercise of stock options.
