            NOTES TO (UNAUDITED) CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 June 30, 2000

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION  AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NATURE OF OPERATIONS:   MFB  Corp. is  an Indiana  corporation  organized  in
December  1993,  to  become a unitary savings and loan holding company.   MFB
Corp. became a unitary savings and loan holding company upon the conversion of
MFB Financial, formerly known as Mishawaka  Federal Savings (the "Bank") from a
federal mutual savings and loan association to  a federal stock savings bank in
March 1994.  MFB Corp. is the sole shareholder of  the Bank.  MFB Corp. and the
Bank  (collectively referred to as the "Company") conduct  business  from their
main  office in Mishawaka, Indiana, and six branch locations in St. Joseph  and
Elkhart  Counties  of  Indiana.  The Bank offers a variety of lending, deposit,
trust and other financial services  to its retail and commercial customers. The
Bank's wholly-owned subsidiary, Mishawaka  Financial Services, Inc., is engaged
in the sales of credit life, general fire and  accident,  car,  home,  and life
insurance as agent for the Bank's customers and the general public.

BASIS  OF  PRESENTATION:  The  accompanying  unaudited  consolidated  financial
statements  were  prepared in accordance  with instructions for Form 10-Q  and,
therefore,  do not include  all  disclosures  required  by  generally  accepted
accounting principles  for  complete presentation of financial  statements.  In
the opinion of management, the  consolidated  financial  statements contain all
normal  recurring  adjustments  necessary  to  present fairly the  consolidated
balance sheets of MFB Corp. and its subsidiary MFB  Financial  as  of  June 30,
2000  and  September  30,  1999,  the consolidated statements of income and the
condensed consolidated statements of  changes  in  shareholders' equity for the
three  and  nine  months  ended June 30, 2000 and 1999,  and  the  consolidated
statements of cash flows for the nine months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999.  All
significant  intercompany  transactions    and   balances   are  eliminated  in
consolidation.  The income reported for the nine months ended  June 30, 2000 is
not  necessarily  indicative of the results that may be expected for  the  full
year.



NOTE 2 - EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE

Basic earnings per  common  share  is  computed  by  dividing net income by the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding during  the  period.  ESOP
shares are considered outstanding for earnings per common share calculations as
they  are  committed  to  be  released;  unearned  shares  are  not  considered
outstanding.  Recognition  and  retention  plan  ("RRP")  shares are considered
outstanding for earnings per common share calculations as they  become  vested.
Diluted  earnings  per  common  share  shows  the dilutive effect of additional
potential  common  shares  issuable under stock options  and  nonvested  shares
issued under the RRP.

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

GENERAL

The principal business of MFB Financial (the "Bank") has historically consisted
of attracting deposits from the general public and the small business community
and making loans secured by  various types of collateral, including real estate
and general business assets. The  Bank  is significantly affected by prevailing
economic conditions, as well as government policies and regulations concerning,
among  other  things,  monetary  and  fiscal  affairs,  housing  and  financial
institutions.  Deposit flows are influenced by  a  number of factors, including
interest  rates  paid  on  competing  investments,  account   maturities,   fee
structures,  and  level of personal  income and savings. Lending activities are
influenced by the demand  for  funds,  the  number  and quality of lenders, and
regional economic cycles. Sources of funds for lending  activities  of the Bank
include  deposits,  borrowings,  payments  on  loans  and  income provided from
operations.  The Company's earnings are primarily dependent upon the Bank's net
interest income, the difference between interest income and interest expense.

Interest  income  is  a  function  of  the  balances  of  loans and investments
outstanding  during  a  given  period  and the yield earned on such  loans  and
investments. Interest expense is a function  of  the  amount  of  deposits  and
borrowings  outstanding  during the same period and interest rates paid on such
deposits and borrowings.   The  Company's  earnings  are  also  affected by the
Bank's  provisions  for loan and real estate losses, service charges,  retained
mortgage loan servicing  fees,  income  from  subsidiary  activities, operating
expenses and income taxes.

LIQUIDITY

Liquidity relates primarily to the Company's ability to fund  loan demand, meet
deposit customers' withdrawal requirements and provide for operating  expenses.
Assets  used  to  satisfy  these  needs  consist  of  cash, deposits with other
financial institutions, overnight interest-bearing deposits  in other financial
institutions  and  securities  available  for  sale. These assets are  commonly
referred to as liquid assets. Liquid assets were  $36.9  million as of June 30,
2000  compared  to $51.2 million as of September 30, 1999. This  $14.3  million
decrease was due  to  a $13.4 million decrease in securities available for sale
and  a  $1.0  million decrease  in  interest-bearing  time  deposits  in  other
financial institutions.  These  funds  were  used  to help fund the purchase of
$15.2  million  of  securities  held  to  maturity  since September  30,  1999.
Management believes the liquidity level of $36.9 million as of June 30, 2000 is
sufficient to meet anticipated liquidity needs.

A standard measure of liquidity for savings associations  is  the ratio of cash
and  eligible  investments to a certain percentage of net withdrawable  savings
and borrowings due within one year. The minimum required ratio is currently set
by  Office of Thrift  Supervision  regulation  at  4%.   At  June 30, 2000, the
Bank's   liquidity   ratio  was  8.42%,   well  above  the  minimum  regulatory
requirements.

Short-term borrowings  or  long-term  debt,  such  as  Federal  Home  Loan Bank
advances,  may  be  used  to compensate for reduction in other sources of funds
such as deposits and to assist  in  asset/liability  management. As of June 30,
2000, total FHLB borrowings amounted to $118.2 million  and were used primarily
to  fund  loan  portfolio  growth.  The  Bank  had  commitments  to  fund  loan
originations with borrowers totaling $73.4 million at June 30, 2000,  including
$52.2   million   in   available  consumer  and  commercial  lines  of  credit.
Certificates of deposits scheduled to mature in one year or less totaled $111.7
million. Based on historical experience, management believes that a significant
portion of maturing deposits  will  remain  with the Bank. The Bank anticipates
that it will continue to have sufficient cash  flow and other cash resources to
meet  current  and  anticipated  loan  funding  commitments,  deposit  customer
withdrawal requirements and operating expenses. At  September  30,  1999, total
FHLB  borrowings  totaled  $104.2 million, $20.8 million of which were used  as
part of  a capital leveraging  strategy  using  securities,  with the remaining
$83.4 million used to fund loan growth.



10

The  cash  flow statements provide an indication of the Company's  sources  and
uses of cash as well as an indication of the ability of the Company to maintain
an adequate  level  of liquidity.  A discussion of the changes in the cash flow
statements for the nine months ended June 30, 2000  and 1999  follows.

During the nine months  ended  June  30,  2000,  net  cash and cash equivalents
increased $64,000 from September 30, 1999 to June 30, 2000.

The  Company  experienced a $6.6 million net increase in  cash  from  operating
activities for  the  nine  months  ended   June  30,  2000, compared to an $805
thousand net increase for the nine months ended June 30,  1999. The increase in
the most recent period was primarily attributable to $14.9  million in proceeds
realized from the sale of mortgage loans and net income of $2.3  million offset
by  the  origination of $10.8 million of loans held for sale.  The increase  of
$805 thousand  for the period ended June 30, 1999 was primarily attributable to
$17.4 million in  proceeds  from  the  sale of mortgage loans and net income of
$1.6 million, offset by the origination of $18.2 million of loans held for sale
and $253 thousand in net gains from the  sale  of these loans. Beginning in the
quarter ended September 30, 1999, the Bank adopted  a  strategy of originating,
selling  and  delivering  all  fixed rate, owner-occupied residential  mortgage
loans on a "Best Efforts" delivery  program basis. This program allows the Bank
to commit loans for delivery to investors  at  prices that are determined prior
to  loan approval. In the event that loans are not  closed  and  therefore  not
delivered,  the  Bank incurs no penalty. The strategy is expected to reduce the
interest rate risk  exposure  of  the  Bank  by  minimizing the volume of loans
closed and carried in the held for sale portfolio.

The  $47.9 million net decrease in cash from investing  activities  during  the
nine months  ended June 30, 2000 is primarily attributable to the $43.8 million
increase in loan  originations  exceeding  principal  payments  and  investment
security  purchases  of  $18.2  million,  offset  by  sales  and maturities  of
securities totaling $11.1 million, $5.2 million of mortgage-backed  and related
securities  principal  payments  and  a $1.9 million low income housing limited
partnership investment.  For the nine months  ended  June 30, 1999, there was a
$32.3 million net decrease in cash from investing activities. This decrease was
primarily  attributable to the purchases of securities,  interest-bearing  time
deposits and  FHLB stock and premises and equipment expenditures totaling $69.8
million along with  the  $20.3  million increase in loan originations exceeding
principal  payments, offset by $39.0  million  of  security  maturities,  $16.9
million of principal  payments  of  mortgage-backed  and related securities and
$2.0 million of security sales.

Financing activities generated net cash of $41.4 million  for the period ending
June 30, 2000. The net cash was provided primarily from net  deposit  increases
of  $29.4  million  and $13.9 million of net new FHLB advances, offset by  $893
thousand in net changes  in  advances  from  borrowers for taxes and insurance,
$869 thousand to repurchase the Company's stock  and  cash dividend payments of
$391 thousand during the quarter. Net cash generated from  financing activities
was  $22.4 million for the nine months ended June 30, 1999. The  net  cash  was
provided  primarily  from  $6.6  million  in net new FHLB advances, net deposit
increases of $15.6 million and repurchase agreement  increases of $2.7 million,
offset  by $911 thousand to repurchase the Company's stock  and  cash  dividend
payments of $383 thousand during the quarter.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

Total shareholders'  equity  increased  from  $31.2 million as of September 30,
1999  to $32.2 million as of  June 30, 2000 mainly  from  net  income  of  $2.3
million  offset  by the repurchase of 49,600 shares of outstanding common stock
during this period  at a cost of $869 thousand, cash dividends declared of $391
thousand, and a $247  thousand adjustment to reflect the decrease in the market
value of securities available for sale, net of tax.

The Bank is subject to  various regulatory capital requirements administered by
federal banking agencies.  Capital  adequacy  guidelines  and prompt corrective
action  regulations involve quantitative measures of assets,  liabilities,  and
certain  off-balance-sheet   items   calculated   under  regulatory  accounting
practices. Capital amounts and classifications are  also subject to qualitative
judgements by regulators about components, risk weightings, and

11

other factors, and the regulators can lower classifications  in  certain cases.
Failure  to  meet  various capital requirements can initiate regulatory  action
that could have a direct material effect on the financial statements.

The  prompt  corrective   action   regulations  provide  five  classifications,
including   well-capitalized,   adequately    capitalized,    undercapitalized,
significantly undercapitalized, and critically undercapitalized, although these
terms are not used to represent overall financial condition. If only adequately
capitalized,  regulatory approval is required to accept brokered  deposits.  If
undercapitalized,  capital  distributions  are  limited, as is asset growth and
expansion, and plans for capital restoration are required.

Quantitative  measures  established by regulation to  ensure  capital  adequacy
require the Bank to maintain  minimum  amounts  and ratios (set forth below) of
Total capital to risk weighted assets, Tier I (core)  capital  to risk weighted
assets and Tier 1 (core) capital to adjusted total assets.

MATERIAL CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION

JUNE 30, 2000 COMPARED TO SEPTEMBER 30, 1999

Total  assets  increased  $43.8 million from $346.5 million as of September 30,
1999 to $390.2 million as of June 30, 2000.

Net loans receivable increased from $269.5 million to $317.0 million during the
nine month period ended June  30,  2000, an increase of $47.5 million. Included
in this increase was the transfer of  $4.0  million of held for sale loans with
originations greater than 12 months to loans  held  in  portfolio.   Commercial
loans  outstanding  increased  by $34.6 million from $47.4 million at September
30, 1999 to $82.0 million at June  30,  2000.  Mortgage  loans  and home equity
loans outstanding increased by $12.1 million during the nine months  ended June
30, 2000 net of secondary market sales totaling $14.9 million during the  first
three  quarters. Consumer loans outstanding also increased by $1.4 million from
$4.5 million at September 30, 1999 to $5.8 million at June 30, 2000. The growth
in all lending  divisions,  which  has  been  funded primarily by the growth in
total  deposits  and  FHLB  advances, is primarily  attributable  to  a  strong
marketing effort, general economic  conditions, and the Company's reputation as
a quality local lender satisfying the  market's  desire  for  local service and
local decision making. Net loans held for sale decreased  from  $8.1 million at
September  30, 1999 to zero at June 30, 2000  due to the transfer  of  seasoned
loans (i.e.  loans over 12 months old) from the held for sale classification to
loans receivable  and  net  sales  of $4.1 million during the nine months ended
June 30, 2000. During the nine month  period  ended  June  30, 2000, loan sales
resulted  in  net realized gains of $303 thousand, including the  recording  of
mortgage servicing  rights. Securities held to maturity increased $14.8 million
from September 30, 1999  to  June 30, 2000, while securities available for sale
decreased $13.4 million during  the  same  period.  An  additional  low  income
housing investment of $1.9 million was completed during the quarter ended  June
30, 2000.

The allowance for loan losses was increased from $638 thousand at September 30,
1999 to $977 thousand at June 30, 2000. The allowance is maintained through the
provision for loan losses, which is charged to earnings. The provision for loan
losses is determined in conjunction with management's review and evaluation  of
current  economic  conditions,  changes  in  the character and size of the loan
portfolio, loan delinquencies (current status  as  well as past and anticipated
trends) and adequacy of collateral securing loan delinquencies,  historical and
estimated  net  charge-offs,  and  other pertinent information derived  from  a
review of the loan portfolio. In management's  opinion,  the allowance for loan
losses is adequate to absorb anticipated future loan losses  from loans at June
30,  2000.  The  Company  continues  to  maintain  asset quality that  compares
favorably  to  its  industry peer group. The ratio of nonperforming  assets  to
total assets as of June  30, 2000 was .01% compared to .07% as of June 30, 1999
and .06% as of September 30, 1999.

Total liabilities increased  $42.8 million from $315.3 at September 30, 1999 to
$358.1 million at June 30, 2000.   Total deposits increased from $201.4 million
at September 30, 1999 to $231.8 million  at  June  30, 2000, primarily due to a
$18.9 million increase in time deposits, of which $6.9  million were short term
public funds with a 6.4% weighted average rate and a weighted average remaining
maturity  of  six  months  at  June  30, 2000. Savings, NOW and  MMDA  deposits
increased  $5.6  million  and noninterest-bearing  demand  deposits  rose  $4.8
million during the period.  Securities  sold  under  agreements  to  repurchase
increased  from $6.6 million at September 30, 1999 to $6.8 million at June  30,
2000. Enhancement  of  our deposit based product offerings and emphasis on core
relationships and quality service has contributed to the deposit and repurchase
agreement increases. FHLB  advances  increased from $104.2 million at September
30, 1999 to $118.2 million at June 30,  2000  to  facilitate  the  strong  loan
growth.

The  $118.2  million of Federal Home Loan Bank advances have a weighted average
interest  rate  of  5.72%   and mature in ten years or less. The one-day retail
repurchase agreements are secured by investment securities that have a weighted
average interest rate of 4.07%.

MATERIAL CHANGES IN RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED JUNE  30,  2000  COMPARED  TO THREE AND NINE MONTHS
ENDED JUNE 30, 1999

The Company's consolidated net income for the three months  ended June 30, 2000
was  $844  thousand  or $.62 basic and $.61 diluted earnings per  common  share
compared to $365 thousand or $.26 basic and $.25 diluted earnings per share for
the three months ended June 30, 1999, representing a 144.0% increase in diluted
earnings per share for  the Company.  Net income for the nine months ended June
30, 2000 was $2.3 million  or $1.63 basic and $1.60 diluted earnings per common
share compared to $1.6 million  or  $1.14  basic and $1.12 diluted earnings per
share for the nine months ended June 30, 1999,  representing  a  42.9%  year to
date diluted earnings per share increase.

Net  interest  income after provision for loan losses for the most recent three
and nine month periods  totaled $2.9 million  and $8.5 million compared to $2.4
million and $7.0 million  for  the  same periods one year ago. During the three
months ended June 30, 2000 total interest  income  increased  by  $1.3  million
compared  to  the  same period one year ago, primarily as a result of increased
volumes  of  loans receivable,  particularly  commercial  and  consumer  loans.
Commercial and  consumer  loan  receivables,  including  home equity and second
mortgage loans, increased $47.3 million and mortgage loan receivables increased
$18.2 million from June 30, 1999 to June 30, 2000. Total interest  expense  for
the  three  month  period  increased  $671  thousand  reflecting  the growth in
savings  account  deposits and borrowed funds.  For the nine months ended  June
30, 2000, total interest  income  increased  $2.8  million while total interest
expense increased $1.1 million.

The provision for loan losses for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2000
was $190 thousand and $345 thousand compared to $65  thousand and $155 thousand
for the three and nine months ended June 30, 1999. These  increases were due to
management's review of  the loan portfolio as previously discussed in the third
paragraph of the material changes in financial condition.

Noninterest income increased from $258 thousand and $848 thousand for the three
and nine months ended June 30, 1999 to $569 thousand and $1.2  million  for the
most recent three and nine month periods. These increases are primarily due  to
fees   generated   from   the   increasing   number  of  core  deposit  account
relationships, increased income generated from  the  Bank's  trust  department,
increased  net  gains from loan sales and the servicing fees retained on  these
sold loans. Noninterest  expenses  increased from $2.0 million during the three
months ended June 30, 1999 to $2.2 million  during  the three months ended June
30, 2000, and from $5.1 million to $6.1 million for the  comparable  nine month
periods.  The  noninterest  expense  increases  are  primarily attributable  to
staffing  increases,  renovated  facilities  to  support  lending   operations,
expenses  associated  with the opening of a new full service office during  the
first quarter of 2000,  and  expenses  incurred  in  the offering of additional
services to the Bank's customers. During the quarter ended  June  30, 1999, the
Bank  incurred a $433,000 or $268,000 after tax noninterest expense  reflecting
the proper recognition of changes in the market value of loans held for sale.

The Company's  effective income tax rate decreased from 42.7% and 41.6% for the
three and nine months  ended  June  30,  1999  to  37.2% and 37.5% for the same
periods  ended  June  30,  2000 primarily due to less impact  of  nondeductible
expense related to the ESOP  market  value  adjustment and tax credits from the
investment in low income housing limited partnership investments.










                                   14


ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company is subject to interest rate risk  to  the degree that its interest-
bearing liabilities, primarily deposits with short  and medium-term maturities,
mature  or  reprice  at  different  rates  than  its  interest-earning  assets.
Although having liabilities that mature or reprice more  frequently  on average
than  assets  will be beneficial in times of declining interest rates, such  an
asset/liability  structure  will  result  in lower net income during periods of
rising  interest  rates, unless offset by other  factors  such  as  noninterest
income.

A key element of the  Company's asset/liability plan is to protect net earnings
from changes in interest  rates  by managing the maturity or repricing mismatch
between  its  interest-earning  assets  and  rate-sensitive  liabilities.   The
Company has sought to reduce exposure  to  its  earnings  through  the  use  of
adjustable rate loans and through the sale of fixed rate loans in the secondary
market on a "Best Efforts delivery program" and by extending funding maturities
through the use of FHLB advances.

As  part  of  its efforts to monitor and manage interest rate risk, the Company
uses the
Net Portfolio Value  ("NPV")  methodology  adopted  by  the  Office  of  Thrift
Supervision  as  part  of  its  capital regulations.  In essence, this approach
calculates the difference between the present value of expected cash flows from
assets and the present value of expected  cash  flows from liabilities, as well
as cash flows from off-balance-sheet contracts.  The difference is the NPV.  As
of March 31, 2000, (the most recently available data),  after a 200 basis point
rate decrease, the Company's NPV ratio was 11.17%.  In the event of a 200 basis
point increase in rates, the Company's NPV ratio was 7.13%.  Management and the
Board  of  Directors  review  the  OTS  measurements  on a quarterly  basis  to
determine whether the Company's interest rate exposure  is  within  the  limits
established  by  the  Board  of  Directors  in the Company's interest rate risk
policy.

The Company's asset/liability management strategy dictates acceptable limits on
the  amounts of change in NPV given certain changes  in  interest  rates.   The
table  presented  here,  as  of March 31, 2000, is an analysis of the Company's
interest  rate  risk as measured  by  changes  in  NPV  for  instantaneous  and
sustained parallel shifts in the yield curve, in 100 basis point increments, up
and down 300 basis points.

</TABLE>
(1)Expressed in basis points
                                        15

As illustrated in the table, the Company's interest rate risk is more sensitive
to rising rates than  declining  rates.  This occurs primarily because as rates
rise,  the market value of fixed-rate loans  declines  due  to  both  the  rate
increases  and  slowing  prepayments.  When rates decline, the Company does not
experience a significant rise in market  value for these loans because borrower
prepayments increase. Specifically, the table  indicates  that,  at  March  31,
2000,  the  Company's  NPV  was  $37.5  million or 9.80% of the market value of
portfolio assets.  Based upon the assumptions  utilized, an immediate 200 basis
point increase in market interest rates would result  in a $11.5 million or 31%
decline in the Company's NPV and would result in a 267  basis  point  or  27.2%
decline  in  the  Company's  NPV  ratio to 7.13%.  Conversely, an immediate 200
basis point decrease in market interest rates would result in a $6.8 million or
18% increase in the Company's NPV,  and  a 137 basis point or 14.0% increase in
the Company's NPV ratio to 11.17%.  The percentage  change in the Company's NPV
at  March  31,  2000  were  within  the  limit in the Company's  Board-approved
guidelines.

In addition to monitoring selected measures  on  NPV,  management also monitors
effects on net interest income resulting from increases  or decreases in rates.
This  measure  is  used in conjunction with NPV measures to identify  excessive
interest  rate  risk.   In  managing  its  asset/liability  mix,  the  Company,
depending on the  relationship  between  long  and  short  term interest rates,
market conditions and consumer preference, may place somewhat  greater emphasis
on  maximizing its net interest margin than on strictly matching  the  interest
rate  sensitivity  of its assets and liabilities.  Management believes that the
increased net income which may result from an acceptable mismatch in the actual
maturity or repricing of its asset and liability portfolios can, during periods
of declining or stable  interest  rates,  provide sufficient returns to justify
the increased exposure to sudden and unexpected  increases  in  interest  rates
which  may result from such a mismatch.  Management believes that the Company's
level of interest rate risk is acceptable under this approach as well.

The method  of  analysis  used  in  evaluating the Company's interest rate risk
exposure requires the use of numerous  assumptions.  Therefore, the possibility
that  the  Company's assets and liabilities will react or  perform  differently
must be considered  in  evaluating  interest  rate  risk. For example, although
certain  assets  and  liabilities  may have similar maturities  or  periods  to
repricing, they may react in different  degrees  to  changes in market interest
rates.  Also, the interest rates on certain types of assets and liabilities may
fluctuate in advance of changes in market interest rates,  while interest rates
on other types may lag behind changes in interest rates.  Additionally, certain
assets, such as ARM's, have features which restrict changes  in  interest rates
on a short-term basis and over the life of the asset.  Further, in the event of
a significant change in interest rates, prepayment and early withdrawal  levels
would  likely  deviate  significantly  from  those assumed above.  Finally, the
ability of many borrowers to service their debt may decrease in the event of an
interest  rate  increase.   The  Company considers  all  of  these  factors  in
monitoring its exposure to interest rate risk.

The Board of Directors and management  of  the  Company  believe  that  certain
factors  afford  the  Company  the  ability to operate successfully despite its
exposure to interest rate risk.  The  Company manages its interest rate risk by
originating adjustable rate loans and by  selling  a  portion of its fixed rate
one-to-four  family real estate loans.  Although the Company  has  historically
originated mortgage  loans  for  its  own  portfolio, sales of fixed rate first
mortgage loans with maturities of 15 years or  greater are currently being sold
on  a  "Best  Efforts" delivery program basis to minimize  interest  rate  risk
exposure. The Company  retains  the  servicing on the majority of loans sold in
the secondary market and, at June 30,  2000,  $50.4  million in such loans were
being serviced for others.  The Company also maintains  capital  well in excess
of regulatory requirements.




                                      16

The  Company's  investment  strategy is to maintain a diversified portfolio  of
high quality investments that  minimize  interest  rate  and credit risks while
striving  to maximize investment return and to provide liquidity  necessary  to
meet funding needs.

The Company's  cost  of  funds responds to changes in interest rates due to the
relatively short-term  nature  of  its  deposit  portfolio.  The  Company has a
substantial  amount  of  passbook  savings,  demand  deposit  and  money market
accounts  which  may  be  less  sensitive  to  changes  in  interest  rate than
certificate  accounts.  At  June  30, 2000, the Bank had $70.2 million of these
types of accounts. The Company offers  a  range  of  maturities  on its deposit
products at competitive rates and monitors the maturities on an ongoing basis.
