OWNERSHIP:
  The following information with respect to the ownership of Common
Stock by the Columbia Federal Savings Bank Employee Stock Ownership
Plan (the "Plan") is provided as of December 31, 1999.  None of the
shares set forth below constitute shares the beneficial ownership
of which the Plan had the right to acquire within 60 days following
such date.

  (a) Amount Beneficially Owned . . .     631,925

  (b) Percent of Class  . . . . . . .     7.02%

  (c) Number of shares as to which
      such person has:

      (i)   sole power to vote or to
            direct the vote . . . . .     0

      (ii)  shared power to vote or to
            direct the vote (1) . . .     0

      (iii) sole power to dispose or to

      (iv)  shared power to dispose or to

<PAGE>

  The Plan was adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company,
effective as of January 1, 1993, and is intended to be a tax-
qualified plan under section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986.  The Plan is administered by the ESOP Committee ("Committee")
of CFS Bank ("Bank") which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Company.  The Committee currently consists of three directors of
the Bank and the assets of the Plan are held in a trust ("Trust")
for which Chase Manhattan Bank serves as trustee ("Trustee").

  Pursuant to the written plan document governing the Plan ("Plan
Document"), each participant in the Plan ("Participant") is en-
titled to direct the Trustee as to the manner in which Common Stock
held by the Plan and allocated to his or her account is voted in
all matters on which shareholders of the Company may vote.  Any
unallocated Common Stock is generally required to be voted by the
Trustee in the same proportion as Common Stock which has been allo-
cated to Participants is directed to be voted.  Each participant
also has the right to direct whether Common Stock held by the Plan
and allocated to his or her account should be delivered by the
Trustee in response to a tender offer made to holders of Common
Stock and to direct the assertion of dissenters' rights with
respect to any matter in which holders of Common Stock have the
right to assert such rights.  Any unallocated Common Stock is
generally required to be delivered by the Trustee in response to a
tender offer, and dissenters' rights with respect to such unallo-
cated Common Stock are required to be asserted in the same propor-
tion as Common Stock which has been allocated to Participants.  The
Committee shares dispositive power over Common Stock held under the
Plan since, pursuant to the Plan Document and Trust Agreement, the
Committee can direct the Trustee to purchase or sell shares of
Common Stock if it considers such action to be in the best
interests of the Participants.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Trustee is required to vote or deliver, or to assert dissenters'
rights with respect to, all unallocated Common Stock in a manner
determined by the Trustee to be in the best interests of Partici-
pants and their beneficiaries.  As of December 31, 1999, of the
631,925 shares of Common Stock held by the Plan, 387,560 were
allocated to the accounts of Participants.

ITEM 5
OWNERSHIP OF FIVE PERCENT OR LESS OF A CLASS:  Not applicable.

ITEM 6
OWNERSHIP OF MORE THAN FIVE PERCENT ON BEHALF OF ANOTHER PERSON:
  Dividends declared on Common Stock held by the Plan that have
been allocated to the account of a Participant are allocated to the
account of such Participant.  Such dividends may be held and
invested in the same manner as funds generally held or invested by
the Plan which are not invested in Common Stock or distributed to
Participants in accordance with and at such time as provided in the
Plan Document.  Participants may receive, or direct the receipt of,
proceeds of the sale of Common Stock held by the Plan and allocated
<PAGE>

to their accounts to the extent they have become vested in such
Common Stock and at such times provided in the Plan Document.
Dividends declared on Common Stock held by the Plan and not
allocated to the account of a Participant are used to repay any
loan made to the Plan for the purpose of enabling it to purchase
Common Stock.  No Participant has the right to receive or the power
to direct the receipt of dividends on, or the proceeds of the sale
of, more than 5% of the Common Stock issued and outstanding as of
the date hereof.

- -----------------
(1)  This number reflects the unallocated shares held in the ESOP.
All allocated ESOP shares have pass-through voting.  In the event
that a participant does not direct his/her vote, those shares would
be voted in proportion to the directions received, in the same
manner as the unallocated shares are voted, and the Trustee would
be deemed to have voting power over such shares.

  The Plan was adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company,
effective as of January 1, 1993, and is intended to be a tax-
qualified plan under section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986.  The Plan is administered by the ESOP Committee ("Committee")
of CFS Bank ("Bank") which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the

titled to direct the Trustee as to the manner in which Common Stock
held by the Plan and allocated to his or her account is voted in

rights with respect to, all unallocated Common Stock in a manner
determined by the Trustee to be in the best interests of Partici-
pants and their beneficiaries.  As of December 31, 1999, of the
631,925 shares of Common Stock held by the Plan, 387,560 were
allocated to the accounts of Participants.

ITEM 5
OWNERSHIP OF FIVE PERCENT OR LESS OF A CLASS:  Not applicable.

ITEM 6
OWNERSHIP OF MORE THAN FIVE PERCENT ON BEHALF OF ANOTHER PERSON:
  Dividends declared on Common Stock held by the Plan that have
been allocated to the account of a Participant are allocated to the

invested in the same manner as funds generally held or invested by
the Plan which are not invested in Common Stock or distributed to
Participants in accordance with the Plan Document.  Participants
may receive, or direct the receipt of, proceeds of the sale of
Common Stock held by the Plan and allocated to their accounts to
the extent they have become vested in such Common Stock and at such
times provided in the Plan Document.  No Participant has the right
to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends on, or
the proceeds of the sale of, more than 5% of the Common Stock
issued and outstanding as of the date hereof.
