ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
         OPERATIONS



COMPARISON OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AT SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 AND DECEMBER 31, 1998

During the nine months ended September 30, 1999, total assets increased $22.3
million or 24.8% from $89.7 million to $112.0 million. Total loans outstanding
increased $19.4 million or 31.96% for the same period. The growth in these areas
was funded by a $22.0 million or 29.41% increase in deposits.

This, along with the active solicitation of loans and deposits the Bank
performs, generated the positive results discussed above.

Total stockholders' equity increased $475,109 for the nine month period ended
September 30, 1999. The increase resulted principally from net income of
$719,113 for the nine months. At September 30, 1999 the Bank continued to exceed
all applicable regulatory capital requirements.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The objective of the Company's liquidity management is to ensure the
availability of sufficient cash flows to meet all financial commitments and to
capitalize on opportunities for expansion. Liquidity management addressees the
Bank's ability to meet deposit withdrawals on demand or at contractual maturity,
and to fund new loans and investments as opportunities arise.

The primary sources of internally generated funds are principal and interest
payments on loans receivable, cash flows generated from operations and
repayments of mortgage backed securities. The external source of funds is an
increase in deposits.

At September 30, 1999, liquid assets comprised 20 % of total assets. Management
believes that it will have sufficient funds available to meet its anticipated
future loan commitments as well as other liquidity needs.

At September 30, 1999 the Bank exceeded all applicable Regulatory Capital
requirements



YEAR 200 COMPLIANCE ISSUES

As the Year 2000 approaches, an important business issue has emerged regarding
whether or not existing computer systems and other operating systems can process
this date value


                                      -8-
<PAGE>

properly. The problem is the result of computer programs and related logic which
use a two digit value to define a particular calendar year (i.e. 99 for 1999).
When this logic is used, computer systems cannot recognize the two digit code
"00" associated with the Year 2000 as coming after 99. This issue is significant
because many computer systems deployed throughout the business world, not just
in banks, use software which contain the two digit date logic.

Before it opened on November 1, 1995, the Bank's management made the strategic
decision to use an outside data processing company (service bureau) to provide
computer processing systems for its primary banking products including loans,
deposits, ATM's, check processing and general ledger. The computer software used
by the service bureau was developed and is maintained by a third party vendor.
This same software is used by many banks throughout the country and uses a
five-digit date logic designed to avoid the problems associated with the two
digit logic discussed above.

In addition to the service bureau, the Bank utilizes personal computers
configured into five local area networks (LANS) which are in turn, connected to
each other through a wide area network (WAN). All equipment was purchased new in
1997 and has subsequently been tested for Year 2000 readiness by an independent
consultant. The test results indicate that all equipment will function properly
into the Year 2000.

In addition to the service bureau applications, the Bank uses software
distributed through the LAN/WAN network for functions such as word processing,
E-mail, spreadsheet, teller transactions, document preparation and new account
setup. All of these software products are purchased or licensed from third party
vendors. It should be noted that the Bank does not write or develop any of its
own computer applications and all third party vendors have provided the Bank
with written certification that there software is year 2000 compliant.

In addition to receiving these assurances from third party vendors, the Bank has
instituted a Year 2000 compliance program whereby it is reviewing the Year 2000
issue on a comprehensive, company-wide basis. This program is administered by a
project team consisting of executive and senior management as well as a
representative from the Board of Directors.

As of September 30, 1999, the Bank had completed its assessment of existing
computer systems and developed a detailed contingency plan for each system.
However, the Year 2000 is a global issue which extends beyond the control of the
Bank and may effect the providers of services such as power and
telecommunications. These services are critical to the ongoing operations of the
Bank and in the unlikely event of an interruption in these services, it is
management's opinion that such a failure will be quickly resolved.

The Bank has budgeted $25,000 for the Year 2000 program and has spent
approximately $5,000 to date

                                      -9-
<PAGE>

As a lending institution, the Bank is exposed to potential risk if borrowers
suffer Year 2000 related difficulties and are unable to repay their loans. In
1998, the Bank sent informational material and a Year 2000 questionnaire to all
large borrowers which focused on their Year 2000 readiness. During the fourth
quarter 1998, the Bank's loan officers and account managers met with these
customers to personally review the answers to these questionnaires and to
discuss the impact of the Year 2000 on their operations. The Bank has evaluated
the information obtained from these meetings in order to determine what impact,
if any, the Year 2000 will have on their financial performance and their ability
to make loan payments. Thus far none of the Bank's borrowers have reported the
expectation of material adverse impacts as a result of the Year 2000 issue.

Based on the information now available. The Bank anticipates that the systems it
uses will properly process dates in the Year 2000 and beyond and that the costs
incurred in achieving full Year 2000 compliance will not be material to the
Bank's business, financial condition or results of operation.
