     ---------------------

    (1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
        ------------------------------------------

        The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial
        statements have been prepared in accordance with the
        accounting policies in effect at December 31, 1995, as
        set forth in the annual consolidated financial
        statements of Cecil Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the
        "Bank").  In the opinion of Management, all adjustments
        necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated
        financial statements are of a normal recurring nature and
        have been included.

        The results of operation for the nine month periods ended
        September 30, 1996 and 1995, are not necessarily
        indicative of the results to be expected for the full
        year.

    (2) Earnings per Share
        ------------------

        Earnings per common share for 1996 is computed by
        dividing net income by the weighted average number of
        shares of common stock outstanding.  The weighted average
        number of shares of common stock was 438,078 for the nine
        months ended September 30, 1996.

    (3) Other Financial Information
        ---------------------------

        Simon, Master & Sidlow, P.A., Cecil Bancorp's independent
        public accountants, performed a limited review of the
        financial data presented on pages 1 through 5 inclusive. 
        The review was performed in accordance with standards for
        such reviews established by the American Institute of
        Certified Public Accountants.  The review did not
        constitute an audit; accordingly, Simon, Master & Sidlow,
        P.A. did not express an opinion on the aforementioned
        data.  The financial data includes any material
        adjustments or disclosures proposed by Simon, Master &
        Sidlow, P.A. as a result of their review.

GENERAL
-------

     Cecil Bancorp, Inc. ("the Company") was incorporated under
the laws of the State of Maryland in July 1994.  On November 10,
1994, Cecil Federal Savings Bank ("Cecil Federal" or the "Bank"
converted from mutual to stock form and reorganized into the
holding company form of ownership as a wholly owned subsidiary of
the Company.  As a result of the conversion and reorganization,
the Company issued and sold 481,361 shares of its common stock at
a price of $10.00 per share to its depositors, borrowers, stock
benefit plans and the public, thereby recognizing net proceeds of
$4,315,057.  The Company's common stock is registered with the
Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") under the Securities
and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act").  The
Company is classified as a unitary savings institution holding
company subject to regulation by the Office of Thrift Supervision
("OTS" of the Department of the Treasury.

     Cecil Federal is principally engaged in the business of
attracting savings deposits from the general public and investing
those funds in loans for the purchase and construction of one-to-
four family  residential real estate, primarily located in Cecil
County, Maryland, and in originating to a lessor extend land
loans, commercial real estate loans, equity loans, consumer loans
and student loans.    Also, during periods of reduced loan
demand, the Bank invests excess funds in mortgage-backed
securities and other investment securities, such as U.S. Treasury
obligations and overnight funds in the Federal Home Loan Bank of
Atlanta.

     Cecil Federal's profitability is primarily dependent upon
its net interest income, which is the difference between interest
earned on its loan and investment portfolios and the cost of
funds or interest paid on deposits and borrowings.  Net interest
income is directly affected by the relative amounts of interest-
earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and the interest
rates earned or paid on these balances.

     To a lesser extent, the Bank's profitability is also
affected by the level of noninterest income and expense. 
Noninterest income consists primarily of service fees and gains
on sales of investments.  Noninterest expenses include salaries
and benefits, occupancy expenses, equipment and data processing
expenses, deposits insurance expenses and other operating
expenses.

                                                              9

     The most significant outside factors influencing the
operations of Cecil Federal and other banks include general
economic conditions, competition in the local marketplace and
related monetary and fiscal policies of agencies that regulate
financial institutions.  More specifically, lending activities
are influenced by the demand for real estate financing and other
types of loans, which in turn are affected by the interest rates
at which such loans may be offered and other factors affecting
loan demand and funds availability, which the cost of funds
(deposits) are influenced by interest rates on competing deposits
and general market rates of interest.

ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT
--------------------------

     The ability to maximize net interest income is largely
dependent upon the achievement of a positive interest rate spread
(the difference between the weighted average interest yields
earned on interest-bearing assets and the weighted average
interest rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities) that can be
sustained during fluctuations in prevailing interest rates. 
Cecil Federal's asset/liability management policies are designed
to reduce the impact of changes in interest rates on its net
interest income by achieving a more favorable match between the
maturities or repricing dates of its interest-earning assets and
interest-bearing liabilities.  The Bank has implemented these
policies by generally emphasizing the origination of one-year,
three-year and five-year adjustable rate mortgage loans and
short-term consumer lending.  The bank now offers an adjustable
rate product which remains fixed for the first ten years and then
converts to a one-year adjustable.  Prior to June, 1994, most
fixed-rate mortgages offered by the Bank were originated for sale
in the secondary market.  From July 1, 1994 through June 30,
1995, the Bank elected to not sell fixed rate mortgages that were
originated, but chose to maintain them in its portfolio. 
Management has been monitoring the retention of fixed rate loans
through its asset/liability management policy.  Beginning July 1,
1995, the bank began originating fixed rate mortgages for sale in
the secondary market.

     Management intends to continue to concentrate on maintaining
its interest rate spread in a manner consistent with its lending
policies, which are principally the origination of adjustable-
rate mortgages, with an appropriate blend of fixed rate mortgage
loans in its primary market area.

Recaptalization of the Savings Associations Insurance Fund
----------------------------------------------------------

     On September 30, 1996, Congress enacted and President
Clinton signed the Omnibus Consolidated Appropriations Act. 
Among the law's many provisions is a resolution ending deposit
insurance premium disparity by fully funding the Savings
Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF").  The bill provided for a
one-time special assessment, estimated to be 65.7 basis points
for deposits bases as of March 31, 1995.  

                                                              10

As a result of this action, full pro rata sharing of the
Financing Corporation (FICO) debt service beginning no later than
January 1, 2000.  Until full pro rata FICO sharing is in place,
FICO premiums for the Bank Insurance Fund (BIF) and SAIF will be
at 1.3 and 6.4 basis points, respectively, beginning January 1,
1997.  Total premiums will be the sum of the FICO premium and any
regular insurance assessment, which is currently zero for
institutions in the lowest risk category.     Management
anticipates paying the lowest premiums and future earnings will
be effected by the decrease in deposit insurance expense.    

FINANCIAL CONDITION
-------------------

     Total assets at September 30, 1996 increased $6,304,355 or
11.7% to $60,295,527 from $53,991,172 at December 31, 1995.  The
increase was primarily the result of an increase in loans
receivable, mortgage-backed securities and loans held for sale. 
Total liabilities increased $6,325,402 or 13.5% to $53,286,065 at
September 30, 1996 from $46,960,663 at December 31, 1995.  This
increase was a result of an increase in savings deposits, and
advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta. 
Stockholder's equity decreased 21,047, which included a dividend
payment of $0.08 per share during the third quarter of 1996.

Cash increased $295,677 or 26.5% to $1,411,694 at September 30,
1996 from $1,116,017 at December 31, 1995.  Interest bearing cash
decreased slightly down 18.00% at September 30, 1996 over the
balance at December 31, 1995.  Investment securities experienced
an increase over the same period.  An additional investment of
$250,000 was purchased and placed in the held-for-sale portfolio. 
Mortgage-backed securities held-for-investment decreased slightly
as a result of the maturity of a five-year FHLMC balloon
certificate.  The Bank purchased a FHLMC PC Gold, five-year
balloon certificate in the amount of $1,750,000 during the month
of June, 1996.  This investment was placed in the held-for-sale
portfolio.

Loans receivable increased $2,168,166 or 4.7% to $48,650,220 at
September 30, 1996 from $ 46,482,054 at December 31, 1995.  The
loans-for-sale portfolio increased $1,834,925 or 273.2% to
$2,506,525 at September 30, 1996 from $671,600 at December 31,
1995.  The increase was a result of an increase in loan volume
and a favorable fixed-rate interest rate environment.  Loans will
be sold to fund portfolio needs.

Total savings deposits increased $3,322,001 or 7.4% to
$47,971,453 at September 30, 1996 from $44,469,452 at December
31, 1995.  Increases are attributable to cross selling and
marketing plans.  Increases in the Bank's outstanding advances
from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta were a result of loan
portfolio funding demands and the purchase of a FHLMC PC Gold,
five-year balloon, placed in the held-for-sale portfolio.  The
outstanding balance increased by $2,750,000 or 220% to $4,000,000
at September 30, 1996 from $1,250,000 at December 31, 1995.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
----------------------

Three Months Ended September 30, 1996.    Net income for the
three months period ended September 30, 1996 decreased 100.9% to
($1,073) as compared to net income for the same period in 1995 of
$122,560.  Return on average assets and return on average equity
were (.008%)(annualized) and (.06%) (annualized) respectively,
for the three month period ended September 30, 1996.  This
compares to a return on average assets and return on average
equity of .78% (annualized) and 10.46% (annualized) respectively,
for the same period in 1995.

The Company suffered a loss due to the one-time assessment of
$270,000 (tax effected, $165,726) to replenish the Savings
Association Insurance Fund.  Without the assessment, earnings
would have increased by 34.3% to $164,653 for the three months
ended September 30, 1996 as compared to $122,560 for the three
months ended September 30, 1995.  Return on average assets and
return on average equity would have been 1.15% (annualized) and
9.40% (annualized)as compared to .78% (annualized) and 10.46
(annualized) for the same period in 1995.  Excluding the Savings
Association Insurance Fund assessment, Earnings per share would
have been $0.36 for the three months ended September 31, 1996 as
compared with $0.25 for the same period in 1995.

increased 22.5% up $122,421 for the three months ended September
30, 1996, over the same period in 1995.  The weighted average
yield on interest earning assets increased from 7.98% for the

$973,866 for the three months ended September 30, 1995 to
$1,127,670 for the three months ended September 30, 1996.  The
increase is attributable to an increase in the average balance
outstanding of $5,195,122 and an increase in the weighted average
yield.  The weighted average yield increased from 8.47% for the
three months ended September 30, 1995 to 8.84% for the three
months ended September 30, 1996.

                                                              12<PAGE>

for the three months ended September 30, 1995 to $48,255 for the

attributable to an increase in the average balance outstanding,
which was offset by a slight decrease in the weighted average
cost of funds.

Provisions for loan losses were increased by $41,000 or 431.6%
from $9,500 for the quarter ended September 30, 1995 to $50,500
for the quarter ended September 30, 1996.  The company reported a

assessment of reserve balances needed to provide for increased
exposure in outstanding loan categories other than one-to-four
residential loans.

There was an increase in gains on the sale of loans for the three
months ended September 30, 1996 of $41,711 over the same period
in 1995.  This increase was attributable to the Bank's decision

non-interest income decreased 17.5% down $8,279 for the three
months ended September 30, 1996 over the same period in 1995.

receipt of insurance sales revenue due to service corporations,
received annually in September.

data processing expenses increased 22.2% for the three months
ended September 30, 1996, over the same period in 1995.  This

$270,000, the one-time charge to recapitalize the Savings
Association Insurance Fund were incurred. Other expenses
decreased by 23.5% for the three months ended September 30, 1996

1996 and 1995 was $46,684 and $75,320, which equates to effective
rates of 102.4% and 38.1% respectively.  During the quarter ended
September 30, 1996, deferred taxes were adjusted by accountants
to bring to actual.

September 30, 1996 as compared to $322,765 for the nine months
ended September 30, 1995.  Return on average assets and return on

period in 1995.  Loan servicing fees increased 19.0%, up $3,383
for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 over the same period
in 1995.  This was a result of the increased balances in the loan
servicing portfolio.  Gains on sale of loans were up $47,762 for
the nine months ended September 30, 1996 over the same period in
1995, as a result of re-entering the secondary market to sell
fixed-rate loans.  Other fees increased 8.1% up $9,947 for the

quarter ended September 1995 were major contributors to the
increase.  One-time charges to recapitalize the Savings
Association Insurance Fund were incurred during the quarter ended
September 30, 1996, which resulted in an increase in expense of
$270,000 (tax effected to $165,726).  Other expenses decreased
22.7%, down $81,225 for the nine month period ended September 30,
1996, over the same period in 1995.  The decrease was
attributable to a decrease in legal fees, cost cutting measure
introduced and decreased fees from correspondent banks.

Nonperforming Assets and Problem Loans
--------------------------------------

Management reviews and identifies all loans and investments that
require a designation as nonperforming assets.  These assets
include: (i) loans accounted for on a nonaccrual basis,
consisting of all loans 90 days or more past due; (ii) troubled
debt restructuring; and (iii) assets acquired in settlement of
loans.  The following table sets forth certain information with
respect to nonperforming assets at September 30, 1996:

The provision for losses on loans is determined based on
management's review of the loan portfolio and analysis of 
borrower's ability to repay, past collection experience, risk
characteristics of individual loans or groups of similar loans
and underlying collateral, current and prospective economic
conditions and status of nonperforming loans.  Loans or portion
thereof are charged-off when considered, in the opinion of
management, uncollectible.  The following table summarizes
changes in the allowance for losses on loans during the nine
months ended September 30:

CAPITAL ADEQUACY
----------------

The Company.  Capital adequacy refers to the level of capital
required to sustain asset growth and to absorb losses.  There are
currently no regulatory capital guidelines or requirements for
the Company.  

The Bank.    The Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS"), which is
the bank's principle regulator, has established requirements for
tangible, core and risk based measures of capital.  As a result,
the three capital measures mentioned above were as follows at
September 30, 1996:
<TABLE>

</TABLE>
________________________________________________________________

The Federal Deposit Improvement Act of 1991 ("FDICIA")
established five capital categories which are used to determine
the rate of deposit insurance premiums paid by insured
institution, thus introducing the concept of risk adjusted
premiums.  This act has the effect of requiring weaker banks to
pay higher insurance premiums while allowing healthier, well
capitalized banks to pay lower premiums.  The following table
summarizes the five capital categories and the minimum capital
requirements for each of the three requirements:
<TABLE>

Critically undercapitalized      0%-1.99%   -           -

</TABLE>

On September 30, 1996, the Bank's capital levels were sufficient
to qualify it as a well capitalized institution, the most
favorable category, allowing the Bank to pay lower deposit
premiums.
