ITEM 6.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF
         OPERATION
- --------------------------------------------------------

GENERAL

     Cecil Federal's primary business is the origination of
mortgage loans secured by single-family residential real estate
located primarily in Cecil County, Maryland, with funds obtained
through the attraction of deposits, primarily certificate
accounts with terms of 60 months or less, savings accounts and
transaction accounts.  To a lesser extent, Cecil Federal also
makes loans on commercial and multi-family real estate,
construction loans on one- to four-family residences, home
equity loans and land loans.  Cecil Federal also makes consumer
loans including education loans, personal and commercial lines
of credit, automobile loans and loans secured by deposit
accounts.  Although consumer loans provide Cecil Federal with
additional interest income, they also involve greater risk.
Cecil Federal purchases mortgage-backed securities and invests
in other liquid investment securities when warranted by the
level of excess funds.  Cecil Federal's revenues are derived
principally from interest earned on loans and, to a lesser
extent, from interest earned on investments and mortgage-backed
securities.

     The principal business of Columbian is the acceptance of
savings deposits from the general public and the origination of
conventional mortgage loans for the purpose of financing or
refinancing one to four family dwellings.  Its income is derived
largely from interest and fees in connection with its lending
activities.  Its principal expenses are interest paid on savings
deposits and non-interest expenses.  Columbian's operations are
conducted through its office located at 303-307 St. John Street,
Havre de Grace, Maryland.

     The Banks' operations are influenced by general economic
conditions and by policies of financial institution regulatory
agencies, including the OTS and the FDIC.  The Banks' cost
of funds are influenced by interest rates on competing
investments and general market interest rates.  Lending
activities are affected by the demand for financing of real
estate and other types of loans, which in turn is affected by
the interest rates at which such financing may be offered.

     The Banks' net interest income is dependent primarily upon
the difference or spread between the average yield earned on
loans, investments and mortgage-backed securities and the
average rate paid on deposits and borrowings (if any), as well
as the relative amounts of such assets and liabilities.  The
Banks, like other thrift institutions, are subject to interest
rate risk to the degree that its interest-bearing liabilities
mature or reprice at different times, or on a different basis,
than its interest-earning assets.
SUBSEQUENT FINANCIAL AND ACCOUNTING DEVELOPMENTS
- ------------------------------------------------

     Subsequent to the issuance of the consolidated financial
statements for the year ended December 31, 1998, and the filing
of its Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1998, an
error in the calculation of certain compensation and benefits
expenses related to stock options was discovered.  The Company
and its subsidiaries, in consultation with their independent
auditors, collectively concluded that the Company would restate
its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures
for the year ended December 31, 1998 and for the first three
quarters of fiscal 1999, and amend its Form 10-KSB for the year
ended December 31, 1998, and first, second, and third quarter
1999 Forms 10-QSB to reflect the correction of the error.  The
purpose of the restatements and amended filings was to reflect
the changes necessary to correct the error.

     The principal effects of the changes on the accompanying
financial statements are presented in "Note 21 -- Restatement"
of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, which is
included in "Part II -- Item 7 -- Financial Statements" and is
incorporated herein by reference for more information.

YEAR 2000 ISSUES

     As the Year 2000 approaches, there is growing concern that
many computers and computer systems could malfunction.  Banks,
as with many other industries, could be faced with errors in
their account processing, payment systems, ATM systems, security
systems, or virtually any system controlled by a computer.

     The cause is rooted in the programming of the date field
within computer systems and software.  For many years, computer
systems were designed to record only the last two digits of
the year in the date field in order to save costly data storage
space.  This programming concept works well while we are still
in the 1900's.  This concept does not work well for the Year
2000, as that year could be read by a computer to mean 1900.

     Bank regulators and computer system experts are emphasizing
systems and software products be implemented and tested for Year
2000 readiness.  This task is a monumental undertaking for all
parties involved from vendor service providers, computer systems
manufacturers, software providers, and finally the Banks.  Cecil
Federal and Columbian are preparing for the millennium.

     The Banks have prepared an action plan to begin evaluating
our systems and software products. The Banks plan consists of
the following:

Problem Awareness: The Banks are aware of the problems that
- -----------------
could potentially arise with the year 2000 problem.  The Banks
have analyzed what systems and software need to be reviewed.

Assessment Phase:  The Banks have made contacts with all its
- ----------------
third party vendors to assess exposure to problems. These
include those that provide Account & Item Processing; System
Hardware Setup and ATM Software; General Ledger Software; ATM
Transaction Processing; the ATM Service Provider; ATM Software;
Financial Reporting Software; Fed-Line Software; On-Line Bank
Service Software; Loan Sales Software; Loan Documentation
Software; HMDA/Geocoding Software; Payroll Processing; Computer
Hardware; Spreadsheet Software; and Word Processing Software.

     Vendors have been proactive in their response to the Year
2000 problem.  The Banks' vendors have in place or will have in
place procedures to minimize risks associated with the  of
the Year 2000 problem by December 31, 1998.

Renovation Phase: Initial steps have been completed to assure
- ----------------
compliance with the Year 2000 problem.   A new front-end
processing system has been installed in the third quarter of
1998 at Cecil Federal, and was installed at Columbian prior to
January 31, 1999.  This system is already Year 2000 compliant.
This system replaces the Banks' previous teller systems which
were not compliant.

                              2
<PAGE>
<PAGE>

Validation Phase: The Banks will validate any decision making by
- ----------------
thoroughly assessing the systems compatibility with the Year
2000 issues.  Validations will be recorded and presented to
the Board of Directors.  The target date for the validation
phase is March 31, 1999.  The Banks will share testing
information with each other to minimize the amount of testing on
the same systems.  Software and system testing will be done on
an ongoing basis through the end of March 1999.

Implementation Phase: The Banks will monitor the implementation
- --------------------
of the Year 2000 assessment and report results to the Board of
Directors.  The Banks will continue to stress with their vendors
the importance of this project.  The Banks will keep in
continual contact with its vendors until a final solution and
implementation has been completed.  All plans are to be
completed as outlined above.  The implementation phase is to be
completed by March 31, 1999.

Contingency Plan: The Banks have prepared a contingency plan
- ----------------
that allows for the manual processing of transactions and
reporting.  The plan designates the training and implementation
of the manual operation in a worst case scenario.

     The Contingency Plan is being updated in conjunction with
our Disaster Recovery Plan.  The Contingency Plan has been
updated and testing on the plan will take place in the first
and second quarters of 1999.

Customer Awareness:   The Banks have also undertaken an effort
- ------------------
to reach all business customers via mail to explain how the Year
2000 issue affects their business.  All businesses need to be
aware of the Year 2000 issue and make attempts to correct any
possible problems.

     The employees were also made aware of the process and have
been notified regarding the individuals who are responsible for
Year 2000 compliance.  A memo was sent to all employees to
assist them with their Year 2000 efforts.

ASSET AND LIABILITY MANAGEMENT

     Key components of a successful asset/liability management
strategy are the monitoring and managing of interest rate
sensitivity of both the interest-earning asset and
interest-bearing liability portfolios.

     The Banks have employed various strategies intended to
minimize the adverse effect of interest rate risk on future
operations by providing a better match between the interest rate
sensitivity of its assets and liabilities.  In particular, the
Banks' strategies are intended to stabilize net interest income
for the long-term by protecting its interest rate spread against
increases in interest rates.  Such strategies include the
origination for portfolio of one-year, three-year and five-year
adjustable-rate mortgage loans secured by one- to four-family
residential real estate and the origination of other loans with
greater interest rate sensitivities than long-term, fixed-rate
residential mortgage loans.  Since the early 1980's the Banks
have sought to make their loan portfolios more interest rate
sensitive by originating adjustable rate mortgage loans for
retention in their own portfolios.  As of December 31, 1998,
adjustable rate mortgage loans constituted approximately 41.1%

                              3
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
of the Banks' total loan portfolios.  All fixed-rate mortgage
loans are originated according to Federal Home Loan Mortgage
Corporation ("FHLMC") standards for possible sale in the
secondary mortgage market and, depending on market conditions,
may be sold.  The Banks invest excess funds in adjustable-rate
or short term (5 years or less) investments and mortgage-backed
securities.

     Asset/liability management in the form of structuring cash
instruments provides greater flexibility to adjust exposure to
interest rates.  During periods of high interest rates,
management believes it is prudent to offer competitive rates on
short-term deposits and less competitive rates for long-term
liabilities.  This posture allows the Banks to benefit quickly
from declines in interest rates.  Likewise, offering more
competitive rates on long-term deposits during the low
interest rate periods allows the Banks to extend the repricing
and/or maturity of its liabilities thus reducing its exposure to
rising interest rates.

COMPARISON OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AT DECEMBER 31, 1998 AND
DECEMBER 31, 1997.

     The Company's assets increased by $7,568,806, or 8.1% to
$101,224,415 at December 31, 1998 from $93,655,609 at December
31, 1997.  The Company's emphasis on expanding the loans
receivable portfolio continued.  The loans receivable portfolio
increased by $2,529,863 or 3.5% to $74,545,912 at December 31,
1998 from $72,016,049 at December 31, 1997.  Cash and
interest-earning cash increased as a result of an increase in
savings deposits.  The Company's investments held to maturity
decreased by $1,614,034, or 27.6% to $4,228,742 at December 31,
1998 from $5,842,776 at December 31, 1997.  Investments held for
sale increased $1,106,432 or 37.1% to $4,091,843 at December 31,
1998 from $2,985,411 at December 31, 1997.  Federal funds sold
increased $625,000, or 125% to $1,125,000 at December 31, 1998
from $500,000 at December 31, 1997.  Mortgage backed securities
held to maturity decreased by $712,551, or 25.8% to $2,046,983
at December 31, 1998 from $2,759,534 at December 31, 1997.
Mortgage backed securities held for investment decreased by
$542,223, or 38.6% to $863,260 at December 31, 1998 from
$1,405,483 at December 31, 1997.  The decreases in the mortgage
backed securities were due to prepayments and maturities.
Plant, property, and equipment increased by $106,533, or 10.6%
to $1,112,507 at December 31, 1998 from $1,005,974 at December
31, 1997.  The increases were primarily due to the upgrade of
equipment as part of Year 2000 plans.

     The Company's liabilities increased $7,006,939, or 8.3% to
$91,150,213 at December 31, 1998 from $84,143,274 at December
31, 1997.  During the year ended December 31, 1998, the Company
was able to increase savings deposits as a result of additional
marketing campaigns.  Savings Deposits increased $7,078,909, or
8.8% to $87,674,802 at December 31, 1998 from $80,595,893 at
December 31, 1997.  Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of
Atlanta remained constant at $1,750,000 at December 31, 1998 and
at December 31, 1997.  Other liabilities decreased $12,729, or
1.9% to $672,738 at December 31, 1998 from $685,467 at December
31, 1997.

     The Company's stockholders' equity increased by $561,867,
or 5.9% to $10,074,202 at December 31, 1998 from $9,512,335 at
December 31, 1997.  The increase was primarily due to an
increase in retained earnings of $336,126, or 6.4%.  For the
year ended December 31, 1998, the Company paid its regular
annualized dividend of $.40 per share.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Economic and Market Conditions.  The Banks' results of
     ------------------------------
operations are influenced by the changes in the economic
conditions prevailing in the market area and the general
economy.  The Banks concentrate on the traditional thrift
activities, continuing to emphasize one-to-four family
residential lending within its market area.  The Banks'
philosophy for funding loans is to rely on deposits from its
local market area rather than borrowing from outside sources,
although the Banks do borrow funds as required to fund lending
needs.

     During 1998, stable economic conditions prevailed in the
Banks' market areas.  Federal Reserve fiscal policy was left
virtually unchanged, leaving a span of steady interest rates,
both on savings and loan deposits.  Demand for fixed-rate
mortgages were constant, although refinancings were down.  As
the Banks expanded their outreach program, demand for small
business and home equity loans increased.  The volume of savings
deposits increased, as the Banks focused on expanding their
demand deposit base.

     Net Income. Net income decreased $139,478, or 19.2% to
     ----------
$589,050 for the year ended December 31, 1998, from $728,528 for
the same period in 1997.  The decrease is a direct result of
one-time non-tax deductible acquisition expenses of $303,000.
The annualized return on average assets and annualized return on
average equity were 0.60% and 6.00% respectively, for the year
ended December 31, 1998.  This compares to an annualized return
on average assets and the annualized return on average equity of
0.82% and 7.88%, respectively for the same period in 1997.

     Net Interest Income. Net interest income, the Company's
     -------------------
primary source of income, increased $140,564, or 4.2% to
$3,490,610 for the year ended December 31, 1998, from $3,350,046
for the year ended December 31, 1997.  The weighted average
yield on all interest earning assets decreased from 8.28% for
the year ended December 31, 1997, to 8.21% for the year ended
December 31, 1998.  The weighted average rate paid on interest
bearing liabilities decreased from 4.79% for the year ended
December 31, 1997 to 4.69% for the year ended December 31, 1998.

     Interest on loans receivable increased by $306,440, or
4.9% to $6,549,552 for the year ended December 31, 1998 from
$6,243,112 for the year ended December 31, 1997.  The increase
is attributable to an increase in the average balance
outstanding, offset by a slight decrease in average yield.  The
weighted average yield decreased from 8.71% for the year ended
December 31, 1997 to 8.59% for the year ended December 31, 1998.

     Interest on mortgage-backed securities decreased $75,403,
or 25.4% to $221,093 for the year ended December 31, 1998 from
$296,496 for the year ended December 31, 1997.  The decrease is
a result of a decrease in the average balance offset by an
increase in the weighted average yield.   The Banks have
historically invested in mortgage-backed securities to
supplement their lending efforts and maintain compliance with
certain regulatory requirements.

     Interest on investment securities decreased $26,275, or
5.0% to $495,721 for the year ended December 31, 1998 from
$521,996 for the year ended December 31, 1997.  The decrease is
a result of a decrease in the weighted average yield.  Interest

                              5
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
on other investment securities increased $56,738, or 20.4% to
$334,969 for the year ended December 31, 1998 from $278,231 for
the year ended December 31, 1997 as a result of an increase in
both the weighted average yield and the average balance
outstanding.  Other investments primarily are short term
liquidity accounts with variable rates.

     Interest paid on savings deposits increased $179,403, or
4.7% to $4,002,772 for the year ended December 31, 1998 from
$3,823,369 for the year ended December 31, 1997.  The increase
was the result of an increase in the average balance
outstanding, and a decrease in average cost of funds.  Interest
expense paid on borrowings decreased $58,467, or 35.1% to
$107,953 for the year ended December 31, 1998 from $166,420 for
the year ended December 31, 1997.  The decrease was a result of
a decrease in the average cost of funds and the average balance
outstanding.

     Provision for Loan Losses. Provisions for loan losses
     -------------------------
increased $3,000, or 3.4% to $90,000 for the year ended December
31, 1998 from $87,000 for the year ended December 31, 1997.  The
provision was increased in connection with management's ongoing
analysis of the loan portfolio.  Loan loss reserves are based
upon management's consideration of current and anticipated
economic conditions which may affect the ability of borrowers to
repay loans.  Management also reviews individual loans for which
full collectibility may not be reasonably assured and considers,
among other matters, the risk inherent in the Banks' loan
portfolio, and the estimated net realized value of the
underlying collateral.  The evaluation process is ongoing and
results in variations in the Banks' provision for loan losses in
various periods.

     Noninterest income.  Noninterest income increased $65,659,
     ------------------
or 14.4% to $520,765 for the year ended December 31, 1998 from
$455,106 for the year ended December 31, 1997.  Loan servicing
fees increased 21.1%, up $11,425 for the year ended December 31,
1998 over the same period in 1997.  This was a result of the
increase in balances of the servicing portfolio.  Gains on sale
of loans increased $21,793, or 46.5% to $68,698 for the year
ended December 31, 1998 from $46,905 for the year ended December
31, 1997.  The increase was attributable to an increase in
volumes sold and premiums payable.  Other fees decreased $15,585
or 13.2% to $102,775 for the year ended December 31, 1998 from
$118,360 for the year ended December 31, 1997.   Commission
income on alternative investment products increased $58,157, or
358.4% to $74,386 for the year ended December 31, 1998 from
$16,229 for the year ended December 31, 1997.  The increase was
attributable to a full year's commission in 1998 versus three
months of commission in 1997.

     Noninterest Expense.  Noninterest expense increased
     -------------------
$330,273, or 13.4% to $2,795,531 for the year ended December 31,
1998 from $2,465,258 for the year ended December 31, 1997.  The
Company experienced an increase in compensation and benefits of
$69,856, or 5.3% to $1,390,792 for the year ended December 31,
1998 from $1,320,936 for the year ended December 31, 1997.  The
increase can be attributable to  increased personnel and annual
merit increases.  Equipment and data processing expense
increased $43,239, or 19.4% to $265,751 for the year ended
December 31, 1998 from $222,512 for the year ended December 31,
1997.  The increase can be attributed to expenses related to
system updates for Year 2000 compliance.  The Company's SAIF
premium increased $2,828, or 3.5% to $83,492 for the year ended
December 31, 1998 as compared to $80,664 for the year ended
December 31, 1997.  Other expenses  decreased $88,125, or 12.8%
to $602,011 for the year ended December 31, 1998 from $690,136
                              6
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
for the year ended December 31, 1997.  The decrease is
attributable to a decrease in advertising & promotion expense,
loan expense, stationery & office supplies, postage, meeting
expense, and charitable contributions.  One-time non-tax
deductible acquisition expenses of $302,501 attributed to the
increase in noninterest expenses for the year ended December 31,
1998.

     Income Taxes.  Income tax expense for the year ended
     ------------
December 31, 1998 and December 31, 1997 was $536,794 and
$524,366, respectively, which equates to effective rates of
47.7% and 41.8%, respectively.  The increase was a result of
acquisition expenses of $302,501 that are not tax deductible.

AVERAGE BALANCES, INTEREST AND AVERAGE YIELDS

    The following table sets forth certain information
relating to the Company's average balance sheet and reflects the
average yield on assets and average cost of liabilities for the
periods indicated.  Such yields and costs are derived by
dividing income or expense by the average monthly balance of
assets or liabilities, respectively, for the periods presented.
Average balances are derived from month-end balances.
Management does not believe that the use of month-end balances
instead of daily balances has caused any material difference in
the information presented.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The Banks' principal sources of funds are cash, receipts from
deposits, loan repayments by borrowers, proceeds from maturing
investments, advances (when utilized) from the FHLB and net earnings.
The Banks have an agreement with the FHLB of Atlanta to provide cash
advances, should the need for additional funds be required.

     For regulatory purposes, liquidity is measured as a ratio of cash
and certain investments to withdrawable deposits and short-term
borrowings.  The minimum level of liquidity required by regulation is
presently 4%. The Banks' liquidity ratio at December 31, 1998, was
approximately 17.88%.  The Banks maintain a higher level of liquidity
than required by regulation as a matter of management philosophy in
order to more closely match interest-sensitive assets with
interest-sensitive liabilities.

     Commitments to originate mortgage loans are legally binding
agreements to lend to the Banks' customers.  Commitments at December
31, 1998 to originate adjustable-rate and fixed-rate mortgage loans
were approximately $3,263,200, expiring in 60 days or less.  The Banks
believe liquidity is adequate to fund its future commitments.
                              8
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
     The Banks have $40.2 million in certificates due within one year
and $30.6 million in other deposits without specific maturity at
December 31, 1998.  Management estimates that most of the deposits
will be retained or replaced by new deposits.

IMPACT OF INFLATION

     The consolidated financial statements and related data presented
herein have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles which require the measurement of financial
position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without
considering changes in the relative purchasing power of money over
time due to inflation.  The primary impact of inflation on the
operations of the Banks are reflected in increased operating costs.
Unlike most industrial companies, virtually all of the assets and
liabilities of a financial institution are monetary in nature.  As a
result, interest rates, generally, have a more significant impact on a
financial institution's performance than does inflation.  Interest
rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or to the same
extent as the prices of goods and services.  In the current interest
rate environment, liquidity and the maturity structure of the Banks'
assets and liabilities are critical to the maintenance of acceptable
performance levels.

IMPACT OF ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

    Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and
Extinguishment of Liabilities.  In June 1996, the FASB issued SFAS
125, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and
Extinguishment of Liabilities" which was adopted by the Company
effective January 1, 1997.  This Statement provides accounting and
reporting standards for transfers and servicing of financial assets
and extinguishments of liabilities based on consistent application of
a financial-components approach that focuses on control.  It
distinguishes transfers of financial assets that are sales from
transfers that are secured borrowings.  Under the financial-components
approach, after a transfer of financial assets, an entity recognizes
all financial and servicing assets it controls and liabilities it has
incurred and derecognizes financial assets it no longer controls and
liabilities that have been extinguished.  The financial-components
approach focuses on the assets and liabilities that exist after the
transfer.  Many of these assets and liabilities are components of
financial assets that existed prior to the transfer.  If the transfer
does not meet the criteria for a sale, the transfer is accounted for
as a secured borrowing with a pledge of collateral.  The adoption of
SFAS 125 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated
financial statements.

     Earnings Per Share.  Effective December 31, 1997, the Company
adopted SFAS 128, "Earnings Per Share". This Statement establishes
standards for computing and presenting earnings per share ("EPS") and
applies to entities with publicly held common stock or potential
common stock.  This Statement simplifies the standards for computing
earnings per share previously found in APB Opinion No. 15, "Earnings
Per Share", and makes them comparable to international EPS standards.
It replaces the presentation of primary EPS with a presentation of
basic EPS, requires dual presentation of basic and diluted EPS on the
face of the income statement for all entities with complex capital
structures, and requires a reconciliation of the numerator and the
denominator of the basic EPS calculation to the numerator and the
denominator of the diluted EPS calculation.  Basic EPS excludes
dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common
stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding during the period.  Diluted EPS reflects the potential
dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue
common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted
in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of
the entity.  This statement is effective for periods ending after
December 15, 1997, and requires restatement of all prior periods
presented.
                              9
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
     Disclosure of Capital Structure.  Effective December 31, 1998 the
Company adopted SFAS No.  129, "Disclosure of Information About
Capital Structure."  This statement consolidates existing guidance and
requires entities (public and non-public) to disclose certain
information about the entity's capital structure.  It contains no
change in disclosure requirements for entities such as the Company
that were previously subject to the requirements of Opinions 10 -
"Omnibus Opinion - 1966" and 15 - "Earnings Per Share" and Statement
47 - "Disclosure of Long-Term Obligations."  Accordingly, no new
reporting requirements have been imposed on the Company.

     Reporting Comprehensive Income.  Effective for the years ended
December 31, 1998 the Company adopted SFAS No.  130, "Reporting
Comprehensive Income," which requires reporting of "Comprehensive
income" and its components in financial statements.  "Comprehensive
income" includes net income and other items of comprehensive income,
such as unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities
and minimum pension liability adjustments, which are excluded from net
income.  This statement was effective for periods beginning after
December 15, 1997 and required the restatement of all prior periods
presented.

     Disclosure About Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information.  Effective for the year ended December 31, 1998 the
Company adopted SFAS No.  131 "Disclosure About Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information" which supersedes SFAS No.  14
"Financial Reporting for Segments of a Business Enterprise."  SFAS No.
131 established standards for the way that public enterprises report
information about operating segments in financial statements issued to
the public.  It also establishes standards for disclosures regarding
products and services, geographic areas and major customers.  The
adoption of SFAS No.  131 did not have a material impact on the
Company's consolidated financial statements.

     Employers' Disclosure about Pensions and Other Post-retirement
Benefits.  In February 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No.  132,
"Employers' Disclosure about Pensions and Other Post-retirement
Benefits"  which revises employers' disclosure about pension and other
post-retirement benefit plans.  SFAS No.  132 is effective for
financial statements for the periods beginning after December 31,
1997, and requires comparative information for earlier years to be
restated.  This standard currently does not apply to the Company.

     Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.
During the second quarter of 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards
Board issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities, " which will be effective for the Company's fiscal
year 2000.  This statement establishes accounting and reporting
standards requiring that every derivative instruments, including
certain derivative instrument imbedded in other contracts, be recorded
in the balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its
fair value.  The Statement also requires that changes in the
derivative's fair value be recognized in earnings unless specific
hedge accounting criteria are met.  The Company is currently assessing
the impact of this new Statement on its consolidated financial
position, liquidity, and results of operations.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND STOCKHOLDERS
CECIL BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
ELKTON, MARYLAND



                   Independent Auditors' Report
                   ----------------------------


     We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of
financial condition of CECIL BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES as of
December 31, 1998 and 1997 and the related consolidated statements of
income and comprehensive income, stockholders'
equity and cash flows for the years then ended.  These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Corporation's management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.

     We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform
the audits 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 audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

     In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
condition of CECIL BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES as of December 31,
1998 and 1997 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for
the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

     As discussed in Note 21 to the financial statements, an error
resulting in an overstatement of previously reported compensation and
benefits expense as of December 31, 1998 was discovered subsequent to
the issuance of the 1998 consolidated financial statements.
Accordingly, the 1998 financial statements have been restated to
correct the error.

         Corporation and Cecil Financial Services Corporation.

         The Banks are members of the Federal Home Loan Bank
         System (FHLB) and are subject to regulation by the
         Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS), a division of the
         U.S. Government Department of Treasury.  As members of
         this System, the Banks maintain a required investment
         in capital stock of the FHLB.  The Banks maintain
         insurance on savings deposits within certain
         limitations as members of the Savings Association
         Insurance Fund (SAIF) which is administered by the
         Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC).
         Regulatory reserve requirements, federal income tax
         requirements and related restrictions of retained
         earnings are discussed in Notes 11, 12 and 13.

   b. Cash and Cash Equivalents -- For purposes of reporting
      -------------------------
         cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on
         hand, amounts due from banks and federal funds sold.
         Generally, federal funds are purchased and sold for
         one-day periods.

   c. Investment Securities -- Regulations require the Banks to
      ---------------------
         maintain, in cash and U.S. Government and other
         approved securities, an amount equal to 4% of savings
         accounts (net of loans on savings accounts) plus
         short-term borrowings.  In addition, short-term assets
         must constitute at least 1% of net withdrawable savings
         and short-term borrowings.

         The Corporation carries certain investments at
         amortized cost, which are not adjusted to the lower of
         cost or market because management has the ability and
         intent to hold them to maturity.  Gains and losses on
         sales of these securities are recognized when realized
         and are shown in the consolidated statements of
         operations.

         The Corporation also classifies certain investments as
         available for sale because these securities are not
         intended to be held to maturity.  Such securities are
         carried at fair value.  Unrealized gains and losses,
         net of tax, on securities available-for-sale are
         recognized as direct increases or decreases in
         accumulated other comprehensive income.

   (Continued)

   d. Allowance for Loan Losses -- A provision for loan losses
      -------------------------
         is charged to operations based on management's
         evaluation of the potential loss in its portfolio.
         Such evaluation, which includes a review of all loans
         of which full collectibility may not be reasonably
         assured, considers among other matters the estimated
         market value of the underlying collateral.

   e. Property and Equipment -- Depreciation of office buildings
      ----------------------
         and equipment is accumulated on the straight-line
         method over the estimated useful lives of the related
         assets.  Estimated lives are 50 years for buildings
         and three to fifteen years for equipment.  Leasehold
         improvements are amortized on the straight line method
         over the remaining terms of the related leases or over
         their estimated useful lives, whichever is shorter.

         Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as
         incurred and improvements are capitalized.  The cost
         and accumulated depreciation relating to premises and
         equipment retired or otherwise disposed of are
         eliminated from the accounts and any resulting gains
         and losses are credited or charged to income.

   f. Mortgage Loan Interest Income -- The Corporation provides
      -----------------------------
         an allowance for uncollectible interest on all accrued
         interest related to loans 90 days or more delinquent.
         This allowance is netted against accrued interest
         receivable for financial statement disclosure.  Such
         interest ultimately collected is credited to income in
         the period of recovery.

   g. Loans Held for Sale -- Mortgage loans originated and held
      -------------------
         for sale in the secondary market are carried at the
         lower of cost or market value determined on an
         aggregate basis.  Gains and losses on the sale of loans
         held for sale are determined using the specific
         identification method.

   h. Income Taxes -- Deferred taxes on income result from the
      ------------
         recognition of the income tax effect of temporary
         differences in reporting transactions for financial and
         tax purposes.  Such temporary differences relate
         primarily to deferred loan fees, interest received in
         advance, accrued compensation to directors, and the
         recapture of a special bad debt deduction (See Note
         11).

         The Corporation and the Banks along with the
         subsidiaries file consolidated Federal tax returns.

   (Continued)

   i. Real Estate Owned -- Real estate properties acquired
      -----------------
         through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure are to be sold
         and are initially recorded at fair value at the date of
         foreclosure.  Costs relating to development and
         improvement of property are capitalized, whereas costs
         related to the holding of property are expensed.

         Valuations are periodically performed by management,
         and an allowance for losses is established by a charge
         to operations if the carrying value of a property
         exceeds its estimated net realizable value.

   j. Mortgage-backed Securities -- Mortgage-backed securities
      --------------------------
         represent participating interests in pools of long-term
         first mortgage loans originated and serviced by issuers
         of the securities.  Mortgage-backed securities are
         carried at unpaid principal balances, adjusted for
         unamortized premiums and unearned discounts.  Premiums
         and discounts are amortized using the interest method
         over the remaining period to contractual maturity,
         adjusted for anticipated prepayments.  Certain
         mortgage-backed securities are not adjusted to the
         lower of cost or market because management intends and
         has the ability to hold them to maturity.  Should any
         be sold, cost of securities sold is determined
         using the specific identification method.

         The Corporation also classifies certain mortgage-backed
         securities as available for sale because these
         securities are not intended to be held to maturity.
         Such securities are carried at fair value.  Unrealized
         gains and losses, net of tax, on securities available
         for sale are recognized as direct increases or
         decreases in accumulated other comprehensive income.

   k. Loan Origination Fees -- Loan commitment fees and loan
      ---------------------
         fees for originating loans are accounted for in
         accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting
         Standards No. 91, "Accounting for Nonrefundable Fees
         and Costs Associated with Originating and Acquiring
         Loans and Initial Direct Costs of Leases" (SFAS 91),
         which requires that certain direct costs associated
         with the loan originating process be netted against
         originating fees received, with the net resulting
         amount amortized over the contractual lives of the loan
         on the level-yield method as an adjustment to the
         loan's yield.

   (Continued)

   l. Use of Estimates -- The preparation of financial
      ----------------
         statements in conformity with generally accepted
         accounting principles requires management to make
         estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
         amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
         contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
         financial statements and the reported amounts of
         revenue and expenses during the reporting period.
         Actual results could differ from those estimates.

         Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to
         significant change relate to the determination of the
         allowance for credit losses and the valuation of real
         estate acquired in connection with foreclosure or
         in satisfaction of loans.  In connection with the
         determination of the allowances for losses on loans and
         foreclosed real estate, management obtains independent
         appraisals for significant properties.

   m. Loan Servicing -- The cost of mortgage servicing rights is
      --------------
         amortized in proportion to, and over the period of,
         estimated net servicing revenue.  Impairment of
         mortgage servicing rights is assessed based on the fair
         value of those rights.  Fair values are estimated using
         discounted cash flows based on a current market
         interest rate.  The amount of impairment
         recognized is the amount by which the capitalized
         mortgage servicing rights exceed their fair value.

         When participating interests in loans sold have an
         average contractual interest rate, adjusted for normal
         servicing fees, that differs from the agreed yield to
         the purchaser, gains or losses are recognized equal to
         the present value of such differential over the
         estimated remaining life of such loans.  The resulting
         "excess servicing receivable" or "deferred servicing
         revenue" is amortized over the estimated life using a
         method approximating the interest method.

         Quoted market prices are not available for the excess
         servicing receivables.  Thus, the excess servicing
         receivables and the amortization thereon are
         periodically evaluated in relation to estimated future
         servicing revenue, taking into consideration changes in
         interest rates, current repayment rates, and expected
         future cash flows.  The Corporation evaluates the
         carrying value of the excess servicing receivables by
         estimating the future servicing income of the excess
         servicing receivables based on management's best
         estimate of remaining loan lives and discounted at the
         original discount rate.

   n. Advertising Expense -- Advertising costs are expensed as
      -------------------
         incurred. Advertising costs were $44,543 and $37,340
         for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997,
         respectively.  The Corporation did not have costs
         related to direct response advertising campaigns during
         the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997.

   o. Segment Information -- The Corporation is in one business
      -------------------
         segment, the savings and loan banking business, and
         follows the requirements of SFAS 131 "Disclosures about
         Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information".

   p. Other Matters -- The Corporation has established a
      -------------
          company-wide task force to review all computer-based
          systems and applications and develop a company-wide
          action plan for the century date change for the year
          2000.  The Corporation's goal is to have all systems
          and applications compliant with the century change by
          March 31, 1999.  Preliminary cost estimates have not
          been finalized, but remediation efforts will be
          expensed.  None of these costs is anticipated to have
          a material impact on the Corporation's results in any
          one period.  In addition, the Corporation could
          possibly be affected by the century change to the
          extent other entities not affiliated with it are
          unsuccessful in addressing this issue on a timely
          basis.

   q. Reclassification of 1997 Financial Statements -- Certain
      ---------------------------------------------
         reclassifications have been made to the 1997 figures to
         conform with current year presentation.


2. ADOPTION OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

   In June 1996, the FASB issued SFAS 125, "Accounting for
      Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and
      Extinguishment of Liabilities" which was adopted by
      the Corporation effective January 1, 1997.  This Statement
      provides accounting and reporting standards for transfers
      and servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of
      liabilities based on consistent application of a
      financial-components approach that focuses on control.  It
      distinguishes transfers of financial assets that are sales
      from transfers that are secured borrowings.  Under the
      financial-components approach, after a transfer of
      financial assets, an entity recognizes all financial and
      servicing assets it controls and liabilities it has
      incurred and derecognizes financial assets it no longer
      controls and liabilities that have been extinguished.  The
      financial-components approach focuses on the assets and
      liabilities that exist after the transfer.  Many of these
      assets and liabilities are components of financial assets
      that existed prior to the transfer.  If the transfer does
      not meet the criteria for a sale, the transfer is
      accounted for as a secured borrowing with a pledge of
      collateral.  The adoption of SFAS 125 did not have a
      material impact on the Corporation's consolidated
      financial statements.

2. ADOPTION OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
   (Continued)

   Effective December 31, 1997, the Corporation adopted SFAS
      128, "Earnings Per Share".  This Statement establishes
      standards for computing and presenting earnings per share
      ("EPS") and applies to entities with publicly held common
      stock or potential common stock.  This Statement
      simplifies the standards for computing earnings per share
      previously found in APB Opinion No. 15, "Earnings Per
      Share", and makes them comparable to international EPS
      standards.  It replaces the presentation of primary EPS
      with a presentation of basic EPS, requires dual
      presentation of basic and diluted EPS on the face of the
      income statement for all entities with complex capital
      structures, and requires a reconciliation of the numerator
      and the denominator of the basic EPS calculation to the
      numerator and the denominator of the diluted EPS
      calculation.  Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed
      by dividing income available to common stockholders by the
      weighted average number of common shares outstanding
      during the period.  Diluted EPS reflects the potential
      dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts
      to issue common stock were exercised or converted into
      common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock
      that then shared in the earnings of the entity.  This
      statement is effective for periods ending after December
      15, 1997, and requires restatement of all prior periods
      presented.

   Effective December 31, 1998 the Corporation adopted SFAS No.
      129, "Disclosure of Information about Capital Structure."
      This statement consolidates existing guidance and requires
      entities (public and non-public) to disclose certain
      information about the entity's capital structure.  It
      contains no change in disclosure requirements for entities
      such as the Corporation that were previously subject to
      the requirements of Opinions 10 - "Omnibus Opinion -
      1966" and 15 - "Earnings Per Share" and Statement 47 -
      "Disclosure of Long-Term Obligations."  Accordingly, no
      new reporting requirements have been imposed on the
      Corporation.

   Effective for the year ended December 31, 1998 the
      Corporation adopted SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive
      Income," which requires reporting of "comprehensive
      income" and its components in financial statements.
      "Comprehensive income" includes net income and other items
      of comprehensive income, such as unrealized gains and
      losses on available-for-sale securities and minimum
      pension liability adjustments, which are excluded from net
      income.  This statement was effective for periods
      beginning after December 15, 1997 and required the
      restatement of all prior periods presented.

   Effective for the year ended December 31, 1998 the
      Corporation adopted SFAS No. 131 "Disclosure About
      Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information"
      which supersedes SFAS No. 14 "Financial Reporting for
      Segments of a Business Enterprise".  SFAS No. 131
      established standards for the way that public
      enterprises report information about operating segments in
      financial statements issued to the public.  It also
      establishes standards for disclosures regarding products
      and services, geographic areas and major customers.  The
      adoption of SFAS No. 131 did not have a material impact on
      the Corporation's consolidated financial statements.

2. ADOPTION OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
   (Continued)

   In February 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 132 "Employers'
      Disclosure about Pensions and Other Post-retirement
      Benefits", which revises employers' disclosure about
      pension and other post-retirement benefitplans. SFAS No.
      132 is effective for financial statements for the periods
      beginning after December 31, 1997, and requires
      comparative information for earlier years to be restated.
      This standard currently does not apply to the Corporation.

   During the second quarter of 1998, the Financial Accounting
      Standards Board issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for
      Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," which will
      be effective for the Company's fiscal year 2000.  This
      statement establishes accounting and reporting standards
      requiring that every derivative instrument, including
      certain derivative instrument imbedded in other contracts,
      be recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or
      liability measured at its fair value.  The Statement also
      requires that changes in the derivative's fair value be
      recognized in earnings unless specific hedge accounting
      criteria are met.  The Company is currently assessing the
      impact of this new Statement on its consolidated financial
      position, liquidity, and results of operations.

3. INVESTMENT SECURITIES

   Investment securities have been classified in the statements
      of financial position according to management's intent.

   The amortized costs and estimated market values of investment
      securities held-to-maturity as of December 31, 1998 and

   Certain mortgage-backed securities are subject to significant
     prepayment risks. In periods of declining interest rates
     mortgages may be repaid more rapidly than anticipated
     resulting in greater amortization of premiums and reduced
     yields.  In addition, the Corporation may be unable to
     reinvest at an interest rate comparable to the rate on the
     prepaying mortgage-backed security.  In contrast, in
     periods of increasing interest rates, market
     values of mortgage-backed securities will decline.

   Commercial and commercial real estate loans are considered impaired when it
     is probable that the Corporation will not collect all amounts due in
     accordance with the contractual terms of the loan.  Except for certain
     restructured loans, impaired loans are loans that are on nonaccrual
     status.  Loans that are returned to accrual status are no longer
     considered to be impaired. The allowance for loan losses includes
     impairment reserves related to loans that are identified as impaired,
     which are based on discounted cash flows using the loan's effective
     interest rate, or the fair value of the collateral for collateral-
     dependent loans, or the observable market price of the impaired loan.
     When foreclosure is probable, impairment is measured based on the fair
     value of the collateral.  Loans that experience insignificant payment
     delays (less than 60 days) and insignificant shortfalls in payment
     amounts (less than 10%) generally are not classified as impaired.
     Restructured loans are reported as impaired in the year of restructuring.
     Thereafter, such loans may be removed from the impaired loan
     disclosure if the loans were paying a market rate of interest at the time
     of restructuring and are performing in accordance with their renegotiated
     terms.  A loan is classified as an insubstance foreclosure when the
     Corporation has taken possession of the collateral, regardless of whether
     formal foreclosure proceedings take place.

   The Corporation had no impaired loans at December 31, 1998 and 1997.

   At December 31, 1998, the Bank had outstanding commitments to originate
     loans as follows:

   Wholly owned first mortgage loans on 1-4 dwelling units with
     unpaid principal balances of approximately $36,467,000 were
     pledged to the FHLB as collateral on advances.


11.  INCOME TAXES

   In August 1996, the provisions repealing the then current
     thrift bad debt rules were passed by Congress.  The new
     rules eliminate the 8% of taxable income method for
     deducting additions to the tax bad debt reserves for all
     thrifts for tax years beginning after December 31, 1995.
     These rules also require that all thrift institutions
     recapture all or a portion of their tax bad debt reserves
     added since the base year (last taxable year beginning
     before January 1, 1988).  The Corporation has previously
     recorded a deferred tax liability equal to the tax bad debt
     recapture and as such, the new rules will have no effect on
     net income or federal income tax expense.

11. INCOME TAXES (Continued)

   The unrecaptured base year reserves will not be subject to
     recapture as long as the Corporation continues to carry on
     the business of banking.  In addition, the balance of the
     pre-1998 tax bad debt reserves continue to be subject to
     provisions of present law that require recapture in the
     case of certain excess distributions to stockholders.  For
     federal income tax purposes, the Corporation has designated
     $551,280 of net worth as a reserve for tax bad debts on
     loans.  The use of this amount for purposes other than to
     absorb losses on loans would result in taxable income and
     financial statement tax expense at the then current tax
     rate.

   The components of income tax expense were as follows for the
     years ended December 31:

   Retained earnings are restricted by regulatory requirements
     and federal income tax requirements.

   In connection with the insurance of savings accounts by SAIF,
     the Banks are required to meet certain capital requirements
     based on computations prescribed by OTS (see Note 13).

   Payment of dividends on the common stock of the Corporation
     will be subject to the availability of funds from dividend
     distributions of the Banks, which are subject to various
     restrictions.  Under regulations of the OTS, the Banks are
     not permitted to pay dividends on their common stock if
     their regulatory capital is reduced below the amount
     required for the "liquidation account" or the capital
     requirements imposed by FIRREA and the OTS.  Since the
     banks meet the fully phased-in capital requirements under
     FIRREA, they may pay a cash dividend on their capital stock
     up to the higher of (i) 100% of their net income to date
     during the calendar year plus an amount not to exceed 50%
     of their surplus capital ratio at the beginning of the
     calendar year or (ii) 75% of their net income over the most
     recent four quarter period.

13.  REGULATORY CAPITAL MATTERS

   The Banks are subject to various regulatory capital
     requirements administered by their primary federal
     regulator, the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS).  Failure
     to meet the minimum regulatory capital requirements can
     initiate certain mandatory, and possible additional
     discretionary actions by regulators, that if undertaken,
     could have direct material effect on the Banks and the
     consolidated financial statements.  Under the regulatory
     capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework
     for prompt corrective action, the Banks must meet specific
     capital guidelines involving quantitative measures of the
     Banks' assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet
     items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices.
     The Banks' capital amounts and classification under the
     prompt corrective action guidelines are also subject to
     qualitative judgments by the regulators about components,
     risk weightings, and other factors.

   Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure
     capital adequacy require the Banks to maintain minimum
     amounts and ratios of: total risk-based capital and Tier I
     capital risk-weighted assets (as defined in the
     regulations), Tier I capital to adjusted total assets (as
     defined), and tangible capital to adjusted total assets (as
     defined).  Management believes, as of December 31, 1998,
     that the Banks meet all the capital adequacy requirements
     to which it is subject.

   As of December 31, 1998, the most recent notification from
     the OTS, the Banks were categorized as well capitalized
     under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective
     action.  To remain categorized as well capitalized, the
     Bank will have to maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier I
     risk-based, and Tier I leverage ratios as disclosed in the
     following table.  There are no events or conditions since
     the most recent notification that management believes have
     changed the Banks' prompt corrective action category.

   a.  Employee Stock Ownership Plan -- In conjunction with the
       -----------------------------
         plan of conversion, the Board of Directors approved a
         contributory Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) for
         employees who have attained age 21 and completed one
         year of service with the Corporation or its
         subsidiaries, effective January 1, 1994.  The ESOP
         acquired 38,508 shares of common stock in November 1994
         for $385,080 financed by a loan from the Corporation.
         Shares acquired with such loan proceeds are to be held
         in a suspense account for allocation among the
         participants as the loan is repaid.  The loan
         agreement is secured by a pledge of the common stock
         owned by the ESOP and purchased with the proceeds of
         the loan.  The outstanding loan balance is included as
         a liability in the accompanying consolidated statements
         of financial condition, and the Corporation's
         obligation related to the ESOP debt is reflected as a
         reduction in stockholders' equity.  The loan is to be
         paid in annual installments of $38,508 plus interest at
         prime plus 1% (8.75% at December 31, 1998) over a ten
         year period.  Payments began on December 31, 1995.  The
         Banks contribute sufficient cash funds to the ESOP to
         repay the loan, plus such other amounts as the
         Corporation's Board of Directors may determine in its
         discretion.

       -----------------------------
         Contributions to the ESOP and shares released from the
         suspense account are to be allocated among participants
         on the basis of their annual wages subject to federal
         income tax withholding, plus any amounts withheld under
         a plan qualified under Sections 125 or 401(k) of the
         Code and sponsored by the Corporation.  Participants
         must be employed at least 1,000 hours in a calendar
         year in order to receive an allocation.  Forfeitures
         will be reallocated to participants on the same basis
         as other contributions.  Dividends paid on allocated
         shares are expected to be used to repay the ESOP loan,
         credited to participant accounts within the ESOP, or
         paid to participants; dividends on unallocated shares
         are expected to be used to repay the ESOP loan.  The
         Corporation is to administer the ESOP.

         The Corporation accounts for its ESOP in accordance
         with Statement of Position 93-6.  Accordingly, the debt
         of the ESOP is recorded as debt and shares pledged as
         collateral are reported as unearned ESOP shares, a
         reduction of stockholders' equity.  As shares are
         released from collateral, the Banks record compensation
         expense in an amount equal to the fair value of the
         shares, and the shares become outstanding for
         earnings per share computations.  Compensation expense
         is also recognized for Corporation dividends on
         unallocated shares paid or added to participant
         accounts.  Compensation expense is reduced by the
         amount of the annual interest paid by the ESOP to
         service the loan issued to acquire the shares of stock.
         ESOP compensation expense was $24,445 and $43,751 in
         1998 and 1997, respectively.  The ESOP shares as of
         December 31, 1998 were as follows:

            Shares released for allocation        15,403
            Unreleased shares                     23,105

   b.  Stock-based Compensation Plans
       ------------------------------
         During 1995, the Corporation formed a Management
         Recognition Plan ("MRP"), which was authorized to
         acquire 4% of the shares of common stock issued on the
         date of reorganization.  The total shares authorized
         are to be awarded to directors and to employees in key
         management positions in order to provide them with a
         proprietary interest in the Corporation in a manner
         designed to encourage such employees to remain with the
         Corporation.

         The Corporation contributed funds in the amount of
         $263,351 to the MRP to enable it to acquire the shares
         of stock that will be required to fund the MRP (18,174
         shares).  The number of shares awarded for the year
         ended December 31, 1995 was 17,507.  Awards under the
         MRP are earned and non-forfeitable by a participant at
         the rate of one-fifth per year of service.

         The $263,351 contributed to the MRP is being amortized
         to compensation expense as the plan participants become
         vested in those shares.  Compensation expense in
         connection with the MRP was $66,383 and $50,627
         in 1998 and 1997, respectively.  The unamortized cost,
         which is comparable to deferred compensation, is
         reflected as a reduction of stockholders' equity.

   The following table summarizes information about the
     management recognition plan at December 31:

   The Corporation adopted stock option plans in 1992 and 1995
     for the benefit of directors, selected officers, and other
     key employees.  The Plans provide for the granting of
     options for the common shares of the Corporation at the
     fair market value at the time the options are granted.  The
     term of each option awarded is to be determined by a
     committee of the Board of Directors, but shall not exceed
     ten years.  The term of an option shall not exceed five
     years for employees owning more than 10% of the outstanding
     common stock at the time the option is granted.
     Discretionary stock appreciation rights may be granted in
     conjunction with, or independently of, any options granted
     under the Plans.  Upon exercise of a stock appreciation
     right, the related option, or portion thereof, is
     cancelled.

         In accordance with the stock option plans a total of
         57,838 shares of unissued common stock are reserved for
         issuance pursuant to incentive stock options.  The
         number of shares reserved for the option plans did
         not change in 1998, except for the effect of the
         pooling of interest transaction and the stock dividend.

         The Company's 1995 Stock Option Plan (Five-Year
         Options) has authorized the grant of options to
         management personnel for up to 44,519 shares of
         the Company's common stock.  All options granted have
         10 year terms and vest ratably over their respective
         terms.

         The number of shares and the exercise prices in the
         following table have been retroactively restated for

      ------------------------------
         The per share weighted average fair value of stock
         options granted during 1998 and 1997 was 6.60 and 5.90,
         respectively, on the date of the grants using the Black
         Scholes option-pricing model as a valuation technique
         with the following average assumptions: 3% expected
         dividend yield, 5.9 and 6.2 risk-free interest rate,
         and expected life, 7.25 years and 8.25 years; and
         expected volatility, 21% and 20% respectively.

         For financial statement purposes, the Corporation
         measures the compensation costs of its stock option
         plans under Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion
         No. 25 whereby, no compensation cost is recorded if,
         at the grant date, the exercise price of the options is
         equal to the fair market value of the Corporation's
         common stock.  Had the Corporation determined cost
         based on the fair value at the grant date for its stock
         options under FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for
         Stock-Based Compensation, the Company's net income and
         earnings per share for the years ended December 31,
         1998 and 1997 would have been reduced to the
         proforma amounts indicated below.

         The pro forma amounts reflect only stock options
         granted in 1997 and subsequent years.  Therefore, the
         full impact of calculating the cost for stock options
         under Statement No. 123 is not reflected in the pro
         forma amounts presented above because the cost for
         options granted prior to January 1, 1997 is not
         considered under the requirements of Statement No.
         123.

   c.  Retirement Plan for Non-Employee Directors -- Effective
       ------------------------------------------
         January 1, 1995 the Corporation adopted a Retirement
         Plan for Non-Employee Directors.  Under this plan, each
         participating director would receive monthly benefits
         for the ten-year period following termination of
         service on the Board, in an amount equal to the product
         of his or her "Benefit Percentage," his or
         her "Vested Percentage," and $500.  A director's
         "Benefit Percentage" is based on his or her overall
         years of service on the Board of Directors of the
         Corporation, and increases in increments of 20% from 0%
         for less than five years of service, to 20% for five to
         nine years of service, to 40% for 10 to 14 years of
         service, to 60% for 15 to 19 years of service, to
         80% for 20 to 24 years of service, and to 100% for 25
         or more years of service.

         A director's "Vested Percentage" is based on his or her
         full years of service as a non-employee Director after
         January 1, 1995 and increases in increments of 10% per
         year, from 10% for one full year of service after
         January 1, 1995, up to 100% for ten or more full years
         of service after January 1, 1995.  In the event that a
         director dies before collecting benefits under this
         plan, the director's surviving spouse will be
         eligible to receive 50% of the benefits the director
         would have received.

         The Directors' Plan is unfunded.  All benefits will be
         paid from the Corporation's general assets.  The
         Corporation recognizes annual compensation expense as
         the benefits become vested.  The amount of compensation
         expense incurred by the Corporation in connection with
         the plan for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997
         was $42,000 per year.

15. PENSION PLAN

   Cecil has a defined contribution pension plan covering all
     full-time employees who meet certain eligibility
     requirements as to age and length of service.  The plan is
     funded by annual employer contributions determined at the
     rate of 10% of compensation of eligible employees.  Pension
     costs charged to operations in 1998 and 1997 amounted to
     $56,145 and $57,768, respectively.

   Columbian has in effect a profit sharing plan for full-time
     employees who have completed one full year of service.  The
     Plan allows for annual contributions of up to 15% of its
     payroll.  The Plan does not provide for employee
     contributions.  Each participant in the plan becomes fully
     vested after five consecutive years of service under the
     Plan and upon retirement receives the contributions on
     behalf of the participant and the earnings thereon.
     Contributions charged to operations in 1998 and 1997
     amounted to $4,750 and $5,750, respectively.

                                       ==========   ==========
</TABLE>

   The Corporation's exposure to credit loss in the event of
     non-performance by the other party to these instruments is
     represented by the contractual amount of the instrument.
     The Corporation uses the same credit policies in granting
     such loan commitments as it does for on-balance sheet
     instruments.  The Corporation generally requires collateral
     to support such financial instruments with credit risk,
     which generally consists of the right to receive a first
     mortgage on improved or unimproved real estate when
     performance under the contract occurs (see Note 5).

     (Continued)

   The Corporation invests funds in the form of certificates of
     deposit at the Federal Home Loan Bank.  In addition, the
     Corporation maintains cash accounts at the Federal Home
     Loan Bank and three local banks.  Balances reflected on
     the local bank's statements exceed the $100,000 insurance
     limit by varying amounts throughout the year.  The
     Corporation controls this risk by monitoring the financial
     condition of the local banks.  The Federal Home Loan
     Bank is an instrumentality of the U.S. Government.


17.  EARNINGS PER SHARE

   During 1998 and 1997, options to acquire 20,204 and 23,758
     shares, respectively of the Corporation's stock were vested
     and exercisable (see Note 14).  The options expire through
     May 2006.

   Basic earnings per common share were computed by dividing net
     income by the weighted average number of shares of common
     stock outstanding during the year.  The weighted average
     number of shares of common stock outstanding was
     570,395 and 559,365 in 1998 and 1997, respectively.

   Diluted earnings per common share were determined on the
     assumption that the options were exercised on May 31, 1997
     and May 31, 1996 (the date they became vested).  The number
     of common shares was increased by the number of shares
     issuable on the exercise options when the market price of
     the common stock exceeds the exercise price of the options.
     This increase in the number of common shares was reduced by
     the number of common shares that are assumed to have been
     purchased with the proceeds from the exercise of the
     options; those purchases were assumed to have been made at
     the year-end price of $23.50 and $20 at December 31, 1998
     and 1997, respectively.  The weighted average number
     of shares of common stock outstanding for computation of
     diluted earnings per common share was 578,938 and 568,540
     in 1998 and 1997, respectively.

   The following table is a reconciliation of the numerators and
     denominators of basic and diluted earnings per share
     computations for the years ended December 31:

18.  FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

   In December 1991, the FASB issued SFAS No. 107 "Disclosure
     about Fair Value of Financial Instruments" which requires
     that the Corporation disclose estimated fair values for
     both its on and off-balance-sheet financial instruments.
     The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate
     the fair value of the Corporation's financial instruments.
     Changes in estimates and assumptions could have a
     significant impact on these fair values.

     Cash and Cash Equivalent
     ------------------------

     The fair values of cash and cash equivalents approximates
     their carrying values.

18.  FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued)

     Securities
     ----------

     The fair values of investment securities, securities
     available for sale and securities to be held to maturity
     are based on quoted market prices, where available.  If a
     quoted market price is not available, fair value is
     estimated using quoted market prices of comparable
     instruments.

     Loans Receivable and Loans Held for Sale
     ----------------------------------------

     The fair value of the loan portfolio is estimated by
     evaluating homogeneous categories of loans with similar
     financial and credit risk characteristics. Loans are
     segregated by types, such as residential mortgage,
     commercial real estate and consumer.  Each loan category is
     further segmented into fixed and adjustable-rate interest
     terms.

     The fair values of each loan category are estimated by
     discounting contractual cash flows adjusted for estimated
     prepayments.  Assumptions regarding prepayment estimates
     and discount rates are judgmentally determined by using
     available market information.

     Investment in Stock of FHLB
     ---------------------------

     The fair value of the Corporation's investment in stock of
     the FHLB approximates its carrying value.

     Savings Deposits
     ----------------

     The fair values of passbook accounts, NOW accounts, demand
     deposit accounts and variable rate money market accounts
     approximates their carrying values. The fair values of
     fixed rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a
     discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest
     rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining
     maturities.

     Employee Stock Ownership Plan Debt
     ----------------------------------

     The fair value of the Corporation's employee stock
     ownership plan debt is estimated using a discounted cash
     flow analysis based on current market rates debt with
     similar terms and remaining maturity.

19.  MERGER

   In September 1998, the Corporation issued 128,155 shares of
     its common stock for all outstanding common stock of
     Columbian.  Columbian shareholders received 1.7021 shares
     of the Corporation's common stock for each share of
     Columbian common stock.  The merger qualified as a tax-free
     reorganization and was accounted for as a pooling of
     interest.  Accordingly, the Corporation's  consolidated
     financial statements were restated for all periods prior to
     the business combination to include the results of
     operations, financial position and cash flows of Columbian.
     No adjustments were necessary to conform Columbian's
     methods of accounting to the methods used by the
     Corporation. There were no significant intercompany
     transactions prior to consummation of the merger.  The
     costs associated with the merger totaled $302,501 in 1998.

   The results of operations previously reported by the separate
     companies and the combined amounts presented in the
     accompanying consolidated financial statements are
     summarized below:

21.  RESTATEMENT

   Subsequent to the issuance of the Corporation's 1998
     consolidated financial statements and the filing of its
     1998 Form 10-KSB with the Securities and Exchange
     Commission (the "SEC"), an error in the calculation of
     certain compensation and benefits expenses related to stock
     options was discovered.  The Corporation concluded that it
     would restate its 1998 and first, second and third
     quarter 1999 financial statements and related disclosures
     to reflect the correction of the error.  The restatement
     resulted in an increase to previously reported net income
     for the period ended December 31, 1998 of $84,507, net of
     income tax expense of $43,534.  Previously reported
     earnings per share increased by $.15 a share for the year
     ended December 31, 1998.  The 1998 consolidated statements
     of financial condition and related consolidated statements
     of income and comprehensive income, stockholders' equity,
     and cash flows have been restated to reflect this
     adjustment, as detailed below:
