ITEM  1.  BUSINESS
------------------

GENERAL
-------

     Marathon  Bancorp  (the  Company)  is a California corporation organized on
October 12, 1982, and, as a bank holding company, is subject to the Bank Holding
Company  Act  of 1956, as amended (the BHC Act).  The Company commenced business
on  August  29, 1983 when the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding
shares of Marathon National Bank (the Bank), which is the sole active subsidiary
of  the  Company  and  its  principal asset.  The Company has not engaged in any
other  activities  to  the  date  of  this filing.  All references herein to the
Company  include  the  Bank,  unless  the  context  requires  otherwise.

THE  BANK
---------

     The  Bank  was  organized  on  November  8,  1982  as  a  national  banking
association.  The  application  to  organize the Bank was accepted for filing by
the  Office  of  the  Comptroller of the Currency (the Comptroller) on March 11,
1982,  and preliminary approval was granted on September 8, 1982.  On August 29,
1983,  the  Bank  received  from  the  Comptroller a Certificate of Authority to
Commence  the  Business of Banking.  The Bank is a member of the Federal Reserve
System,  and its deposits are insured under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act to
the  extent  of  applicable  limits.

     The  Bank  is  located  at  11150  West  Olympic  Boulevard,  Los  Angeles,
California  with  a  loan  production office in Woodland Hills, California.  The
Bank's  primary  marketing  area  rests  principally  within the counties of Los
Angeles  (including  the  San  Fernando  Valley and South Bay areas) and Orange.
The  Bank  markets  its  services mainly to commercial and wholesale businesses,
professionals  and  discerning  individuals  living  or  working in the west Los
Angeles  area.

BANK  SERVICES
--------------

     The Bank offers a wide range of commercial banking services to individuals,
businesses  and professional firms located in its primary marketing area.  These
services  include personal and business checking, interest-bearing money market,
savings  accounts  (including  interest-bearing  negotiable  order of withdrawal
accounts)  and  time  certificates  of  deposit.  The  Bank  also  offers  cash
management  services,  ACH origination, night depository  bank by mail services,
as  well  as  traveler's  checks (issued by an independent entity) and cashier's
checks.  The  Bank  acts  as  an  authorized depository for deposits of the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the Southern, Central and Northern districts of California.
The  Bank  also  acts  as a merchant depository for cardholder drafts under both
VISA  and  MasterCard  (through  third  party servicers).  In addition, the Bank
provides  note and collection services and direct deposit of social security and
other  government  checks.

     The  Bank  engages  in  a  full complement of lending activities, including
revolving  lines  of  credit, working capital and accounts receivable financing,
short  term  real  estate  construction  financing,  mortgage loans and consumer
installment  loans,  with  particular  emphasis  on  short  and  medium  term
obligations.  Additionally,  the  Bank  has  become  an  active  Small  business
Administration  (SBA)  lender.  The  Bank's  commercial  lending  activities are
directed principally toward small to medium sized businesses, wholesalers, light
manufacturing  concerns  and  professional  firms.  The  Bank's consumer lending
activities  include  loans  for  automobiles,  recreational  vehicles,  home
improvements  and  other  personal  needs.

COMPETITION
-----------

     The banking and financial services industry in California generally, and in
the  Bank's  market areas specifically, is highly competitive.  The increasingly
competitive  environment is a result primarily of changes in regulation, changes
in  technology  and  product  delivery  systems,  and  the  accelerating pace of
consolidation  among financial services providers.  The Bank competes for loans,
deposits,  and  customers  with  other  commercial  banks,  savings  and  loan
associations,  securities and brokerage companies, mortgage companies, insurance
companies,  finance  companies,  money  market  funds,  credit unions, and other
nonbank  financial service providers.  Many of these competitors are much larger
in  total  assets and capitalization, have greater access to capital markets and
offer  a  broader  range  of  financial  services  that  the Bank does not offer
directly.  In  addition,  recent  federal  legislation  may  have  the effect of
further  increasing  the  pace  of  consolidation  within the financial services
industry.  See  "Item  1.  Business  -  Supervision  and  Regulation - Financial
Services  Modernization  Legislation."

     In  addition, the enactment of interstate banking legislation in California
makes  it  easier  for  bank  holding  companies  with  headquarters  outside of
California  to  enter  the California market, presenting an additional source of
competition  for  the Bank.  Many of the major commercial banks operating in the
Bank's  market  areas  offer  certain  services  that  the  Bank  does not offer
directly.  In  addition,  banks  with greater capitalization have larger lending
limits  and  are  thereby able to serve larger borrowing customers.  The Company
competes  for  loan  and deposit business by providing innovative and responsive
service  to  its  customers.

ECONOMIC  CONDITIONS,  GOVERNMENT  POLICIES,  LEGISLATION,  AND  REGULATION
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
     The  Bank's  profitability,  like most financial institutions, is primarily
dependent  on  interest  rate differentials.  In general, the difference between
the  interest  rates  paid  by the Bank on interest-bearing liabilities, such as
deposits  and  other  borrowings, and the interest rates received by the Bank on
its  interest-earning  assets,  such  as  loans  extended  to  its  clients  and
securities  held  in its investment portfolio, comprise the major portion of the
Bank's  earnings.  These  rates  are  highly  sensitive to many factors that are
beyond the control of the Company and the Bank, such as inflation, recession and
unemployment,  and  the  impact  which  future  changes  in domestic and foreign
economic  conditions might have on the Company and the Bank cannot be predicted.
The  business of the Company and The Bank is also influenced by the monetary and
fiscal  policies  of  the  federal  government  and  the  policies of regulatory
agencies, particularly the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the
"Federal Reserve Board"). The Federal Reserve Board implements national monetary
policies  (with  objectives  such  as curbing inflation and combating recession)
through  its  open-market  operations in U.S. Government securities by adjusting
the  required  level  of  reserves  for  depository  institutions subject to its
reserve requirements, and by varying the target federal funds and discount rates
applicable to borrowings by depository institutions.  The actions of the Federal
Reserve  Board  in  these areas influence the growth of bank loans, investments,
and  deposits  and  also affect interest rates earned on interest-earning assets
and  paid on interest-bearing liabilities.  The nature and impact on the Company
and  the  Bank  of  any future changes in monetary and fiscal policies cannot be
predicted.

  From time to time, legislation, as well as regulations, are enacted which have
the  effect  of  increasing  the  cost  of doing business, limiting or expanding
permissible  activities,  or affecting the competitive balance between banks and
other  financial  services  providers.  Proposals  to  change  the  laws  and
regulations  governing  the  operations  and  taxation  of  banks,  bank holding
companies, and other financial institutions and financial services providers are
frequently  made  in  the  U.S.  Congress, in the state legislatures, and before
various  regulatory  agencies.  This legislation may change banking statutes and
the operating environment of the Company and its subsidiaries in substantial and
unpredictable  ways. If enacted, such legislation could increase or decrease the
cost  of  doing  business,  limit or expand permissible activities or affect the
Competitive  balance among banks, savings associations, credit unions, and other
financial institutions. The Company cannot predict whether any of this potential
legislation  will  be  enacted,  and  if  enacted,  the  effect  that it, or any
implementing  regulations,  would  have on the financial condition or results of
operations  of  the  Company or any of its subsidiaries. See "Item 1. Business -
Supervision  and  Regulation."

SUPERVISION  AND  REGULATION
----------------------------
     GENERAL
     Bank  holding  companies  and  banks  are  extensively regulated under both
federal and state law.  This regulation is intended primarily for the protection
of  depositors  and  the  deposit  insurance  fund  and  not  for the benefit of
stockholders  of  the  Company.  Set forth below is a summary description of the
material  laws and regulations which relate to the operations of the Company and
the  Bank.  The  description  is  qualified  in its entirety by reference to the
applicable  laws  and  regulations.

     MARATHON  BANCORP

     Marathon  Bancorp,  as  a  registered  bank  holding company, is subject to
regulation  under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the "BHCA").
The  Company is required to file with the Federal Reserve Board periodic reports
and  such  additional  information  as  the  Federal  Reserve  Board may require
pursuant to the BHCA.  The Federal Reserve Board may conduct examinations of the
Company  and  its  subsidiaries.

The  Federal Reserve Board may require that the Company terminate an activity or
terminate  control  of or liquidate or divest certain subsidiaries or affiliates
when  the  Federal  Reserve  Board  believes  the activity or the control of the
subsidiary  or affiliate constitutes a significant risk to the financial safety,
soundness  or stability of any of its banking subsidiaries.  The Federal Reserve
Board  also  has  the  authority  to regulate provisions of certain bank holding
company  debt,  including  the authority to impose interest ceilings and reserve
requirements  on  such debt.  Under certain circumstances, the Company must file
written  notice  and  obtain  approval  from  the Federal Reserve Board prior to
purchasing  or  redeeming  its  equity  securities.

   Further, the  Company is required  by  the  Federal Reserve Board to maintain
certain  levels  of  capital. Management believes, as of December 31, 2000, that
the  Bank  meets  all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.  See
part  II,  Item  7,  Note L for the Banks capital ratio requirements and current
ratios.

   The Company is required  to  obtain the prior approval of the Federal Reserve
Board for the acquisition of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of any class
of  voting  securities  or  substantially  all of the assets of any bank or bank
holding  company.  Prior  approval of the Federal Reserve Board is also required
for the merger or consolidation of the Company and another bank holding company.
The  Company is prohibited by the BHCA, except in certain statutorily prescribed
instances,  from  acquiring direct or indirect ownership or control of more than
5%  of  the  outstanding voting shares of any company that is not a bank or bank
holding  company  and  from  engaging directly or indirectly in activities other
than  those of banking, managing or controlling banks, or furnishing services to
its  subsidiaries.  However,  the  Company, subject to the prior approval of the
Federal Reserve Board, may engage in any, or acquire shares of companies engaged
in,  activities  that  are  deemed by the Federal Reserve Board to be so closely
related  to  banking or managing or controlling banks as to be a proper incident
thereto.

  Under Federal Reserve Board regulations, a bank holding company is required to
serve  as  a source of financial and managerial strength to its subsidiary banks
and may not conduct its operations in an unsafe or unsound manner.  In addition,
it  is  the  Federal  Reserve  Board's policy that a bank holding company should
stand  ready to use available resources to provide adequate capital funds to its
subsidiary  banks  during  periods  of  financial stress or adversity and should
maintain  the  financial  flexibility  and  capital-raising  capacity  to obtain
additional  resources  for  assisting  its  subsidiary  banks.  A  bank  holding
company's  failure  to  meet its obligations to serve as a source of strength to
its  subsidiary  banks will generally be considered by the Federal Reserve Board
to  be  an  unsafe  and  unsound  banking practice or a violation of the Federal
Reserve  Board's  regulations  or  both.

   The Company is also a bank holding company within the meaning of Section 3700
of the California Financial Code. As such, the Company and its subsidiaries are
subject  to  examination  by,  and  may  be  required  to file reports with, the
California  Department  of  Financial  Institutions.

   The Company's securities are  registered  with  the  Securities  and Exchange
Commission  under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange
Act").  As  such, the Company is subject to the information, proxy solicitation,
insider  trading,  and  other requirements and restrictions of the Exchange Act.
The  Bank, as a national banking association, is subject to primary supervision,
examination,  and  regulation  by  the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency
(the  "Comptroller").  To  a  lesser  extent,  the  Bank  is  also  subject  to
regulations  of  the  Federal  Deposit  Insurance  Corporation  ("FDIC")  as
administrator  of the Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF") and the Federal Reserve Board.
If,  as a result of an examination of the Bank, the Comptroller should determine
that  the  financial  condition,  capital  resources,  asset  quality,  earnings
prospects,  management,  liquidity or other aspects of the Bank's operations are
unsatisfactory  or  that the Bank or its management is violating or has violated
any  law or regulation, various remedies are available to the Comptroller.  Such
remedies  include  the power to enjoin "unsafe or unsound practices," to require
affirmative  action  to  correct  any conditions resulting from any violation or
practice,  to  issue an administrative order that can be judicially enforced, to
direct  an  increase  in  capital, to restrict the growth of the Bank, to assess
civil  monetary  penalties,  and to remove officers and directors.  The FDIC has
similar  enforcement  authority,  in  addition to its authority to terminate the
Bank's  deposit insurance in the absence of action by the Comptroller and upon a
finding  that  the  Bank  is  in  an unsafe or unsound condition, is engaging in
unsafe  or  unsound  activities, or that its conduct poses a risk to the deposit
insurance  fund  or  may  prejudice  the  interest  of  its  depositors.

   Various requirements and restrictions under the laws of the United States and
the  State  of  California  affect  the  operations  of  the  Bank.  Federal and
California  statutes  and  regulations  relate  to  many  aspects  of the Bank's
operations,  including reserves against deposits, ownership of deposit accounts,
interest  rates  payable  on  deposits,  loans,  investments,  mergers  and
acquisitions,  borrowings,  dividends,  locations  of  branch  offices,  capital
requirements  and  disclosure  obligations  to  depositors  and  borrowers.

FINANCIAL  SERVICES  MODERNIZATION  LEGISLATION
-----------------------------------------------
     GENERAL.  On  November  12,  1999,  President  Clinton  signed into law the
Gramm-Leach-Bliley  Act  of  1999  (the "Financial Services Modernization Act").
The  Financial Services Modernization Act repeals the two affiliation provisions
of  the  Glass-Steagall  Act:  Section  20,  which restricted the affiliation of
Federal  Reserve  Member  Banks  with  firms  "engaged principally" in specified
securities  activities;  and  Section  32, which restricts officer, director, or
employee  interlocks  between a member bank and any company or person "primarily
engaged"  in  specified  securities  activities.  In  addition,  the  Financial
Services  Modernization  Act also contains provisions that expressly preempt any
state  law  restricting  the  establishment of financial affiliations, primarily
related  to  insurance.  The  general  effect  of  the  law  is  to  establish a
comprehensive framework to permit affiliations among commercial banks, insurance
companies,  securities  firms, and other financial service providers by revising
and expanding the BHCA framework to permit a holding company system to engage in
a  full  range of financial activities through a new entity known as a Financial
Holding  Company

     The  law  also:

-     Broadens  the  activities that may be conducted by national banks, banking
      subsidiaries  of  bank  holding  companies,  and  their  financial
      subsidiaries;
-     Provides  an  enhanced  framework  for  protecting the privacy of consumer
      information;
-     Adopts  a  number of provisions related to the capitalization, membership,
      corporate  governance, and other measures designed to modernize the
      Federal Home Loan  Bank  system;
-     Modifies  the  laws  governing  the  implementation  of  the  Community
      Reinvestment  Act;  and
-     Addresses  a  variety  of other legal and regulatory issues affecting both
      day-to-day operations and long-term activities of financial  institutions.

     The  Company  and  the  Bank  do  not  believe  that the Financial Services
Modernization  Act  will  have  a  material  adverse effect on operations in the
near-term.  However,  to the extent that it permits banks, securities firms, and
insurance companies to affiliate, the financial services industry may experience
further  consolidation.  The Financial Services Modernization Act is intended to
grant  to  community  banks  certain  powers  as  a  matter of right that larger
institutions  have  accumulated  on an ad hoc basis.  Nevertheless, this act may
have the result of increasing the amount of competition that the Company and the
Bank  face  from  larger  institutions  and  other  types  of companies offering
financial  products,  many  of  which  may  have  substantially  more  financial
resources  than  the  Company  and  the  Bank.

     EXPANDED  BANK  ACTIVITIES  The  Financial  Services Modernization Act also
permits national banks to engage in expanded activities through the formation of
financial  subsidiaries.  A  national  bank may have a subsidiary engaged in any
activity  authorized  for  national  banks  directly  or any financial activity,
except for insurance underwriting, insurance investments, real estate investment
or  development,  or  merchant  banking,  which  may only be conducted through a
subsidiary  of  a  financial  holding company.  Financial activities include all
activities  permitted under new sections of the BHCA or permitted by regulation.

     A  national  bank  seeking  to have a financial subsidiary, and each of its
depository  institution  affiliates,  must be "well-capitalized," "well-managed"
and  in compliance with the Community Reinvestment Act.  The total assets of all
financial  subsidiaries  may  not  exceed  the  lesser  of 45% of a bank's total
assets, or $50 billion.  A national bank must exclude from its assets and equity
all  equity investments, including retained earnings, in a financial subsidiary.
The  assets  of  the  subsidiary may not be consolidated with the Bank's assets.
The  Bank  must also have policies and procedures to assess financial subsidiary
risk  and  protect  the  Bank  from  such  risks  and  potential  liabilities.

     PRIVACY.  Under  the  Financial Services Modernization Act, federal banking
regulators  are required to adopt rules that will limit the ability of banks and
other  financial institutions to disclose non-public information about consumers
to  nonaffiliated  third  parties.  These limitations will require disclosure of
privacy  policies  to consumers and, in some circumstances, will allow consumers
to  prevent  disclosure of certain personal information to a nonaffiliated third
party.  Federal banking regulators issued final rules on May 10, 2000.  Pursuant
to  these  rules,  financial  institutions  must  provide:

-     initial  notices to customers about their privacy policies, describing the
      conditions  under  which  they  may  disclose  nonpublic personal
      information to nonaffiliated  third  parties  and  affiliates;
-     annual  notices  of  their  privacy  policies  to  current  customers; and
-     a  reasonable  method  for  customers  to  "opt  out"  of  disclosures  to
      nonaffiliated  third  parties.

    The rules were effective November 13, 2000, but compliance is optional until
July  1,  2001. These privacy provisions will affect how consumer information is
transmitted  through  diversified  financial  companies  and conveyed to outside
vendors.  It  is  not  possible at this time to assess the impact of the privacy
provisions  on  the  Company's  financial  condition  or  results of operations.

     SAFEGUARDING  CONFIDENTIAL  CUSTOMER  INFORMATION.  In  January  2000,  the
banking  agencies  adopted  guidelines  requiring  financial  institutions  to
establish  an  information  security  program  to:

-     identify  and  assess  the  risks  that may threaten customer information;
-     develop  a  written  plan containing policies and procedures to manage and
      control  these  risks;
-     implement  and  test  the  plan;  and
-     adjust  the  plan  on  a  continuing  basis  to  account  for  changes  in
      technology,  the  sensitivity  of customer information, and internal or
      external threats  to  information  security.

   Each institution may implement a security program appropriate to its size and
complexity  and  the  nature  and  scope  of  its  operations.

    The  guidelines outline specific security measures that institutions should
consider in implementing a security program.  A financial institution must adopt
those  security  measures  determined to be appropriate.  The guidelines require
the  board  of  directors  to  oversee  an  institution's  efforts  to  develop,
implement,  and  maintain  an effective information security program and approve
written  information  security  policies  and  programs.  The  guidelines  are
effective  July  1,  2001
 .
DIVIDENDS  AND  OTHER  TRANSFERS  OF  FUNDS
-------------------------------------------
     Dividends  from the Bank are a source of income to the Company  The Company
is  a  legal  entity separate and distinct from the Bank. The Bank is subject to
various statutory and regulatory restrictions on its ability to pay dividends to
the  Company.  Under  such restrictions, the Bank could not pay any dividends to
the  Company  at  December  31, 2000.  In addition, the California Department of
Financial  Institutions  and  the  Federal  Reserve  Board have the authority to
prohibit  the  Bank  from  paying dividends, depending upon the Bank's financial
condition,  if  such  payment  is  deemed  to  constitute  an  unsafe or unsound
practice.

    The FDIC and the Comptroller  also  have authority to prohibit the Bank from
engaging in activities that, in the FDIC's and Comptroller's opinion, constitute
unsafe  or  unsound  practices  in  conducting  its  business.  It  is possible,
depending  upon  the  financial  condition  of  the  Bank  in question and other
factors,  that  the  FDIC  and  the Comptroller could assert that the payment of
dividends  or  other payments might, under some circumstances, be such an unsafe
or  unsound  practice.  Further,  the  FDIC  and the Comptroller and the Federal
Reserve  Board  have  established  guidelines with respect to the maintenance of
appropriate  levels  of  capital  by banks or bank holding companies under their
jurisdiction.  Compliance  with  the  standards set forth in such guidelines and
the  restrictions  that are or may be imposed under the prompt corrective action
provisions  of federal law could limit the amount of dividends which the Bank or
the  Company  may  pay.  An  insured  depository  institution is prohibited from
paying  management  fees  to  any  controlling  persons or, with certain limited
exceptions,  making  capital  distributions  if  after  such  transaction  the
institution  would  be  undercapitalized.  See  "-  Prompt Corrective Regulatory
Action  and  Other  Enforcement Mechanisms" for a discussion of these additional
restrictions  on  capital  distributions.

    The Bank is subject to  certain  restrictions  imposed by federal law on any
extensions  of  credit to, or the issuance of a guarantee or letter of credit on
behalf  of, the Company or other affiliates, the purchase of, or investments in,
stock  or  other securities thereof, the taking of such securities as collateral
for  loans,  and the purchase of assets of the Company or other affiliates. Such
restrictions  prevent  the Company and such other affiliates from borrowing from
the  Bank  unless  the loans are secured by marketable obligations of designated
amounts.  Further,  such  secured loans and investments by the Bank to or in the
Company  or  to or in any other affiliate are limited, individually, to 10.0% of
the  Bank's  capital  and  surplus (as defined by federal regulations), and such
secured  loans  and  investments  are limited, in the aggregate, to 20.0% of the
Bank's  capital  and surplus (as defined by federal regulations). California law
also  imposes  certain  restrictions  with respect to transactions involving the
Company  and  other  controlling persons of the Bank. Additional restrictions on
transactions  with  affiliates  may  be  imposed  on  the  Bank under the prompt
corrective action provisions of federal law. See "Item 1. Business - Supervision
and  Regulation  -  Prompt  Corrective Action and Other Enforcement Mechanisms."

CAPITAL  STANDARDS
------------------
     The  federal  banking  agencies  have  adopted  risk-based  minimum capital
guidelines  intended to provide a measure of capital that reflects the degree of
risk  associated  with a banking organization's operations for both transactions
reported  on  the balance sheet as assets and transactions which are recorded as
off  balance  sheet  items.  Under  these  guidelines, nominal dollar amounts of
assets  and  credit equivalent amounts of off balance sheet items are multiplied
by  one  of  several risk adjustment percentages, which range from 0% for assets
with  low  credit  risk  federal  banking  agencies,  to  100%  for  assets with
relatively  high  credit  risk.

     The guidelines require a minimum  ratio  of  qualifying  total  capital  to
risk-adjusted  assets  of  8%  and  a  minimum  ratio  of  Tier  1  capital  to
risk-adjusted  assets  of 4%.  In addition to the risk-based guidelines, federal
banking regulators require banking organizations to maintain a minimum amount of
Tier  1  capital  to  total  assets,  referred  to as the leverage ratio.  For a
banking  organization  rated  in  the  highest  of  the  five categories used by
regulators  to  rate banking organizations, the minimum leverage ratio of Tier 1
capital  to  total  assets  must be 3%.  In addition to these uniform risk-based
capital  guidelines  and  leverage  ratios  that  apply across the industry, the
regulators  have  the  discretion to set individual minimum capital requirements
for  specific  institutions  at rates significantly above the minimum guidelines
and  ratios.

     See  Part  II, Item 7, Note L for the Bank's capital ratio requirements and
current  ratios  as  of  December  31,  2000.

     The federal banking regulators may set capital requirements higher than the
minimums  described  above for holding companies whose circumstances warrant it.
For  example,  a  financial institution experiencing or anticipating significant
growth  may  be  expected  to maintain capital positions substantially above the
minimum  supervisory  levels  without significant reliance on intangible assets.
The  Federal  Reserve Board has also indicated that it will consider a "tangible
Tier 1 capital leverage ratio" (deducting all intangibles) and other indications
of  capital  strength when evaluating proposals for expansion or new activities.

PROPOSED  CAPITAL  REQUIREMENTS  FOR  COMMUNITY  INSTITUTIONS
-------------------------------------------------------------
     In  November 2000 the federal bank and thrift regulatory agencies requested
public  comment  on  an advance notice of proposed rulemaking that considers the
establishment  of  a  simplified  regulatory  capital  framework for non-complex
institutions.

In the proposal, the agencies suggested criteria that could be used to determine
eligibility  for  a simplified capital framework, such as the nature of a bank's
activities,  its  asset  size  and  its risk profile. In the advance notice, the
agencies  seek  comment  on possible minimum regulatory capital requirements for
non-complex  institutions,  including  a  simplified  risk-based ratio, a simple
leverage  ratio, or a leverage ratio modified to incorporate certain off-balance
sheet  exposures.

  The advance notice solicits public comment on the agencies' preliminary views.
Comments  are  due  on the proposal on February 1, 2001.   Given the preliminary
nature  of the proposal, it is not possible to predict its impact on the Bank at
this  time.

PROMPT  CORRECTIVE  ACTION  AND  OTHER  ENFORCEMENT  MECHANISMS
---------------------------------------------------------------
     Federal  banking agencies possess broad powers to take corrective and other
supervisory  action  to resolve the problems of insured depository institutions,
including  but  not  limited  to  those institutions that fall below one or more
prescribed  minimum capital ratios.  Each federal banking agency has promulgated
regulations  defining  the  following  five  categories  in  which  an  insured
depository  institution  will  be  placed,  based  on  its  capital ratios: well
capitalized,  adequately  capitalized,  undercapitalized,  significantly
undercapitalized,  and  critically  undercapitalized.  At December 31, 2000, the
Bank  and  the  Company exceeded the required ratios for classification as "well
capitalized."

    An institution that, based upon  its  capital  levels, is classified as well
capitalized,  adequately  capitalized,  or  undercapitalized  may  be treated as
though  it  were  in  the next lower capital category if the appropriate federal
banking  agency,  after  notice  and opportunity for hearing, determines that an
unsafe  or  unsound  condition  or  an  unsafe or unsound practice warrants such
treatment.  At  each  successive  lower  capital category, an insured depository
institution  is  subject  to  more  restrictions.  The federal banking agencies,
however,  may  not  treat  a  significantly  undercapitalized  institution  as
critically  undercapitalized  unless  its  capital  ratio actually warrants such
treatment.

    In addition to measures taken under the prompt corrective action provisions,
commercial banking organizations may be subject to potential enforcement actions
by  the  federal  regulators for unsafe or unsound practices in conducting their
businesses  or  for  violations  of  any law, rule, regulation, or any condition
imposed  in  writing  by  the  agency  or any written agreement with the agency.

SAFETY  AND  SOUNDNESS  STANDARDS
---------------------------------
     The federal banking agencies have adopted guidelines designed to assist the
federal  banking  agencies  in  identifying  and addressing potential safety and
soundness  concerns  before  capital  becomes impaired. The guidelines set forth
operational  and  managerial  standards  relating  to:  (i)  internal  controls,
information  systems  and internal audit systems, (ii) loan documentation, (iii)
credit  underwriting,  (iv)  asset  growth, (v) earnings, and (vi) compensation,
fees  and  benefits. In addition, the federal banking agencies have also adopted
safety  and  soundness  guidelines  with  respect  to asset quality and earnings
standards.  These  guidelines  provide  six  standards  for  establishing  and
maintaining  a  system  to identify problem assets and prevent those assets from
deteriorating.  Under these standards, an insured depository institution should:
(i)  conduct  periodic  asset  quality  reviews to identify problem assets, (ii)
estimate  the  inherent losses in problem assets and establish reserves that are
sufficient  to  absorb  estimated  losses, (iii) compare problem asset totals to
capital,  (iv) take appropriate corrective action to resolve problem assets, (v)
consider the size and potential risks of material asset concentrations, and (vi)
provide  periodic asset quality reports with adequate information for management
and  the  board  of  directors  to  assess  the  level  of asset risk. These new
guidelines  also  set forth standards for evaluating and monitoring earnings and
for  ensuring  that  earnings  are  sufficient  for  the maintenance of adequate
capital  and  reserves.

PREMIUMS  FOR  DEPOSIT  INSURANCE
---------------------------------
     Through the Bank Insurance Fund (BIF), the FDIC insures the deposits of the
Company's  depository  institution subsidiaries up to prescribed limits for each
depositor. The amount of FDIC assessments paid by each BIF member institution is
based  on  its relative risk of default as measured by regulatory capital ratios
and  other  factors.  Specifically,  the  assessment  rate  is  based  on  the
institution's capitalization risk category and supervisory subgroup category. An
institution's  capitalization risk category is based on the FDIC's determination
of  whether  the institution is well capitalized, adequately capitalized or less
than  adequately  capitalized. An institution's supervisory subgroup category is
based on the FDIC's assessment of the financial condition of the institution and
the  probability  that  FDIC  intervention  or  other  corrective action will be
required.

   FDIC-insured depository institutions pay an assessment rate equal to the rate
assessed on deposits insured by the Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF").
The  assessment rate currently ranges from zero to 27 cents per $100 of domestic
deposits.  The  FDIC  may increase or decrease the assessment rate schedule on a
semi-annual  basis.  An  increase  in  the assessment rate could have a material
adverse  effect  on  the  Company's  earnings,  depending  on  the amount of the
increase. The FDIC is authorized to terminate a depository institution's deposit
insurance  upon a finding by the FDIC that the institution's financial condition
is  unsafe  or  unsound or that the institution has engaged in unsafe or unsound
practices  or  has  violated any applicable rule, regulation, order or condition
enacted  or  imposed  by the institution's regulatory agency. The termination of
deposit  insurance of the Company's subsidiary depository institution could have
a material adverse effect on the Company's earnings, depending on the collective
size  of  the  particular  institution  involved.

    All FDIC-insured  depository  institutions must pay an  annual assessment to
provide  funds  for  the  payment  of  interest on bonds issued by the Financing
Corporation,  a federal corporation chartered under the authority of the Federal
Housing  Finance  Board.  The  bonds,  commonly  referred to as FICO bonds, were
issued  to  capitalize  the  Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation. The
FDIC  established  the  FICO assessment rates effective for the third quarter of
2000  at approximately $.021 per $100 annually for assessable deposits. The FICO
assessments are adjusted quarterly to reflect changes in the assessment bases of
the  FDIC's  insurance  funds  and  do  not  vary  depending  on  a  depository
institution's  capitalization  or  supervisory  evaluations.

INTERSTATE  BANKING  AND  BRANCHING
-----------------------------------
     The BHCA permits bank holding companies from any state to acquire banks and
bank  holding  companies  located  in  any  other  state,  subject  to  certain
conditions,  including  certain  nationwide-  and  state-imposed  concentration
limits.  The  Bank  has the ability, subject to certain restrictions, to acquire
by  acquisition or merger branches outside its home state.  The establishment of
new  interstate  branches  is  also  possible  in  those  states  with laws that
expressly  permit  it.  Interstate  branches  are subject to certain laws of the
states  in  which  they  are located.  Competition may increase further as banks
branch  across  state  lines  and  enter  new  markets.

COMMUNITY  REINVESTMENT  ACT  AND  FAIR  LENDING  DEVELOPMENTS
--------------------------------------------------------------
     The  Bank  is  subject  to  certain fair lending requirements and reporting
obligations  involving  home  mortgage  lending  operations  and  Community
Reinvestment  Act  activities.  The  CRA  generally requires the federal banking
agencies to evaluate the record of a financial institution in meeting the credit
needs  of  its  local  communities,  including  low-  and  moderate-income
neighborhoods.  A  bank  may  be subject to substantial penalties and corrective
measures  for  a  violation  of  certain fair lending laws.  The federal banking
agencies  may  take  compliance  with such laws and CRA obligations into account
when regulating and supervising other activities.  In December 2000, the federal
banking agencies established annual reporting and public disclosure requirements
for  certain written agreements that are entered into between insured depository
institutions  or  their  affiliates and nongovernmental entities or persons that
are  made  pursuant  to,  or  in  connection  with,  the fulfillment of the CRA.
A  bank's  compliance  with  its  CRA  obligations  is based a performance-based
evaluation  system  which  bases CRA ratings on an institution's lending service
and  investment performance. When a bank holding company applies for approval to
acquire  a  bank  or  other bank holding company, the Federal Reserve Board will
review  the  assessment  of  each  subsidiary bank of the applicant bank holding
company,  and  such records may be the basis for denying the application.  Based
on  an  examination  conducted June 22, 1998, the Bank was rated satisfactory in
complying  with  its  CRA  obligations.

ACCOUNTING  CHANGES
-------------------

     In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS
133,  "Accounting  for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities"(as amended
in  2000  by SFAS No. 138).  This Statement establishes accounting and reporting
standards  for  derivative  instruments  and  for  hedging activities.  This new
standard  was originally effective for 2000.  In June 1999, the FASB issued SFAS
No.  127,  "Accounting  for  Derivative  Instruments  and  Hedging  Activities -
Deferral  of  the  Effective  Date  of  FASB  Statement  No. 133". The statement
establishes  the  effective  date  of SFAS No. 133 for 2001. SFAS No. 133 is not
expected  to  have  a  material  impact  on  the Company's financial statements.

EMPLOYEES
---------

     At  December  31,  2000,  the  Company  employed  36  personnel.


STATISTICAL  DISCLOSURE
-----------------------

     The  following  tables  and  data  set  forth,  for  the  respective  years
indicated,  selected  statistical  information  relating  to  the  Company.

     The Company's operating results depend primarily on the level of the Bank's
net interest income, which is the difference between interest income on interest
earning assets and interest expense on interest bearing liabilities.  The Bank's
net  interest income is determined by the average outstanding balances of loans,
investments,  deposits  and  borrowings,  and  the  respective average yields on
interest-earning  assets  and the average costs on interest bearing liabilities,
and  the  relative  amount  of  loans  and  investments compared to deposits and
borrowings.  The  Bank's  volumes  and  rates  on  interest  earning  assets and
interest bearing liabilities are affected by market interest rates, competition,
the  demand  for  bank financing, the availability of funds, and by management's
responses  to  these  factors.

     The  following  tables  set  forth the Company's daily average balances for
each  principal  category  of asset and liability and shareholders' equity.  The
tables also present the amounts and average rates of interest earned and paid on
each  category  of  interest earning asset and interest bearing liability, along
with  the  net  interest  income and net yield on earning assets for the periods
indicated.

     In addition, the tables set forth changes in the components of net interest
income for the periods indicated.  The total change is segmented into the change
attributable  to  variations in volume and the change attributable to variations
in  interest  rates.  The  changes  in interest due to both rate and volume have
been  allocated  to  the  changes  due  to  volume and rate in proportion to the
relationship  of  the  absolute  dollar amounts of the change in both.  Interest
foregone  on loans in nonaccrual status is not included in the tables, while the
average  balance  of  loans  in  nonaccrual  status  is  included.

RISK  ELEMENTS  -  NONACCRUAL,  PAST  DUE  AND  RESTRUCTURED  LOANS
-------------------------------------------------------------------

     Nonaccrual  loans  are those for which the Bank has discontinued accrual of
interest  because  there  exists  reasonable  doubt  as  to  the full and timely
collection  of  either  principal  or  interest  or  such  loans  have  become
contractually past due ninety days with respect to principal or interest.  Under
certain  circumstances, interest accruals are continued on loans past due ninety
days  which,  in  management's  judgment,  are considered to be well secured and
fully  collectible  as to both principal and interest.  When a loan is placed in
nonaccrual  status,  all interest previously accrued but uncollected is reversed
against  current period income.  Income on such loans is then recognized only to
the extent that cash is received and where the future collection of principal is
probable.  Accrual  of  interest is resumed only when principal and interest are
brought  fully  current  and  when,  in  management's  judgment,  such loans are
estimated  to  be  collectible  as  to  both  principal  and  interest.

     Restructured commercial loans are those for which the Bank has, for reasons
related  to  borrowers' financial difficulties, granted concessions to borrowers
(including  reductions  of  either  interest  or  principal)  that  it would not
otherwise  consider,  whether  or  not  such  loans are secured or guaranteed by
others.  Loan  restructurings  involving  only  a  modification  of  terms  are
accounted  for  prospectively  from  the time of restructuring.  Accordingly, no
gain  or loss is recorded at the time of such restructurings unless the recorded
investment in such loans exceeds the total future cash receipts specified by the
new  loan  terms.

     At  December  31,  2000,  no  loans  on nonaccrual, compared with $3,000 at
year-end 1999. The reduction in interest income associated with nonaccrual loans
was  approximately  $3,000 during 2000, and $3,000 during 1999.  At December 31,
2000  loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest were $1,000,000
compared  to  none  at  year-end  1999.  The  Bank  had no specific reserves for
impaired  loans  in 2000 or 1999 and in addition, the Bank classified $2,173,000
and  $2,318,000,  respectively,  of  its  loans  without a specific reserve. The
average recorded investment of impaired loans during the year ended December 31,
2000  and  1999  was  approximately  $1,000  and $39,000 respectively.  Interest
income  of  $150 was recognized on impaired loans during the year ended December
31, 2000 and no interest income was recognized on impaired loans in 1999.  There
were  no restructured loans at December 31, 2000 or 1999. There were no loans at
December  31, 2000 where the known credit problems of a borrower caused the Bank
to  have  serious  doubts  as to the ability of such borrower to comply with the
then  present  loan  repayment  terms, and which would result in such loan being
included  as  a  nonaccrual,  past due or restructured loan at some future date.
The Bank has not made loans to borrowers outside the United States.  At December
31,  2000, the Company had no loan concentrations exceeding ten percent of total
gross  loans  outstanding.

SUMMARY  OF  LOAN  LOSS  EXPERIENCE
-----------------------------------

     The allowance for loan losses is established by a provision for loan losses
charged against current period income.  Losses are charged against the allowance
when,  in  management's  judgment,  the  collectability of a loan's principal is
doubtful.  The  accompanying  financial statements require the use of management
estimates  to  calculate  the  allowance  for  loan losses.  These estimates are
inherently  uncertain  and depend on the outcome of future events.  Management's
estimates  are  based  upon  previous  loan  loss  experience,  current economic
conditions,  volume, growth, and composition of the loan portfolio, the value of
collateral  and  other relative factors.  Although management believes the level
of  the  allowance as of December 31, 2000 is adequate to absorb losses inherent
in  the  loan  portfolio,  decline in the local economy and the possibility of a
recession,  may  result  in  losses  that cannot reasonably be predicted at this
date.  Such  losses  may also cause unanticipated erosion of the Bank's capital.

allocation  indicates  future  charge-off  trends.  Furthermore,  the  portion
allocated  to  each  loan  category is not the total amount available for future
losses  that  might  occur within such categories, since even on the above basis
there  is  an  unallocated portion of the allowance and the total allowance is a
general  reserve  applicable  to  the  entire  portfolio.

<PAGE>
     Although  management believes the level of the allowance for loan losses as
of  December  31,  2000,  is  adequate  to  absorb  losses  inherent in the loan
portfolio,  currently  unanticipated  conditions  and events, such as additional
declines  in the local economy and the possibility of a recession, may result in
losses  that  cannot  reasonably  be  predicted  at  this  date.

SOURCES  OF  FUNDS
------------------

     Deposits traditionally have been the primary source of the Bank's funds for
use  in  lending  and  other  investments.  The Bank also derives funds from net
earnings,  receipt  of  interest  and  principal  on outstanding loans and other
sources,  including the sale of  investment securities.  The Bank is a member of
the  Federal  Reserve  System  and  may borrow through that system under certain
conditions

DEPOSITS
--------

     The  Bank's  deposit  products include noninterest-bearing demand deposits,
interest-bearing  demand  deposits,  money market and savings accounts, and time
certificates  of deposit.  The majority of the Bank's deposits are obtained from
its  primary  marketing  area.

ITEM  6.  MANAGEMENT'S  DISCUSSION  AND  ANALYSIS  OF  FINANCIAL  CONDITION
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
AND  RESULTS  OF  OPERATIONS
----------------------------

FINANCIAL  HIGHLIGHTS  OVERVIEW
     The  Company  had an outstanding year achieving a return on equity of 11.5%
and  earnings  topping  over one million at $1,104,000.  Assets increased 12% to
$92.9  million  while  deposits  also  grew  12%.  Loans  increased  by  6%  and
shareholders'  equity  was up 14%.  Earnings per share were 29 cents compared to
17  cents  in  1999 increasing the book value per share to $2.73 at December 31,
2000.
     The  year  2000 brought forth new challenges starting with the century date
change,  which we were well prepared for and caused us no problems or additional
costs,  and  a  heated  economy  with  increasing  interest rates.   The Company
performed  well  and  increased  shareholder  value.

RESULTS  OF  OPERATIONS

NET  INTEREST  INCOME
     Net  interest  income has always been the main component of total earnings.
Interest  rates  continued  their  rise that started in mid 1999 increasing till
mid-year  before  leveling  off.   With  the  Company being asset sensitive, the
increase  in  rates  improved  the  asset  yields  and  net interest margin that
improved  from  5.3%  in  1999  to  5.8%  for  2000.
     The  overall yield on earning assets improved from 7.4%, which was the same
in  1998  and  1999, to 8.4% for 2000.  The loan portfolio generated the largest
amount  of  the increase with interest on loans rising from $3.9 million in 1999
to  $5.0  million  for  2000,  an  increase of 30%.  Yield on the loan portfolio
increased from 8.3% in 1998 to 8.4% in 1999 and 9.6% in 2000 due to increases in
the  prime  lending  rate  that  a  majority  of  the  loans  are  tied  to.

     Investment  income also increased substantially rising to $1.4 million from
$1.1  million  earned  in  1999,  an  increase  of 23%.  This came about from an
increase  in  average  investments  outstanding  in 2000 of $2.9 million and the
increase in the investment rates. The yield on the investment portfolio was 5.8%
in  1998,  5.7%  in  1999  and  increased  to  6.1%  in  2000.
     Interest  expense  increased  significantly  from  1998  to  2000.  Overall
interest  cost  increased $645 thousand, or 44% during 2000 due to the change in
the  mix  of  deposits,  an  increase  of $7.5 million in volume, as well as the
increased rates we needed to pay due to market rate increases.  The average cost
of interest-bearing deposits increased from 3.5% in 1998 to 3.6% in 1999 to 4.3%
in  2000.

NONINTEREST  INCOME
     Noninterest  income  increased  by  12%  or  $60,000 compared to the 13% or
$56,000  increase  in  1999.  Service  charges  and  fees  on  deposit  accounts
moderated  somewhat  in 2000 due to the rise in earnings credit caused by rising
rates  that  is  applied  to  analyzed  business  accounts.
     Dividends on bank owned life insurance increased 164% or $123,000 due to an
increase  in  our  investment  in  life insurance and a good rate of return that
increased  the  cash  value.  Other  income  decreased  in  2000 compared to the
increase  we  had  in 1999.  The 1999 increase was due to a one-time recovery of
service  charges  from  the  settlement  of  a  legal  case.

NONINTEREST  EXPENSE
     Noninterest  related  expenses increased by 8% over 1999.  Employee related
expenses  were  reflective  of the costs for a full year's operation of the loan
production  office  and construction loan department, which opened in the latter
part  of  1999.  The  year  2000  also included additional expenses for employee
training  and  employee  benefit  plans.
     Occupancy  costs  increased  for  2000  due mainly to the costs of the loan
production  office.  The  Company plans to upgrade this office to a full service
branch  in  the  second  half  of  2001.  This will increase occupancy and human
resource  expenses  in  the  latter  part  of  2001.
     Professional  services,  business  promotion,  stationary  and supplies and
equipment  costs  all  decreased  during  2000.  1999's  expenses  reflected the
additional  costs  associated  with  Y2K.  Other  expenses  were  also  down 9%.
Customer  related expenses were up due the increased costs of servicing business
demand  deposit  accounts and an increased number of new business relationships.

CREDIT  RISK  MANAGEMENT
     Credit  risk  is an intrinsic part of commercial banking and a weak economy
in  2001  could  cause  problems.  The  Company  has credit policies designed to
manage  and  regulate  credit risk and to minimize the level of losses incurred.
     Credit policies require the extensive evaluation of new credit requests and
continuing review of existing credits in order to identify, monitor and quantify
evidence  of  deterioration  of  quality  or  potential loss in a timely manner.
Credit  review  is  done  both  by  management and an outside third-party credit
review  firm.  Reviews  of  current  economic  conditions,  previous  loan  loss
experience,  composition  of  the  portfolio,  industry  trends  and  many other
relative  factors  are  used  in  determining  the  allowance for credit losses.
     Nonperforming  loans,  which  consist  of  loans past due over 90 days plus
loans  on  nonaccrual,  totaled $1,000,000, which represents 1.9% of total loans
outstanding  at  December 31, 2000 versus $3,000 or .01% of outstanding loans at
year-end  1999.  Loans  classified  by  the  Bank  as doubtful or substandard at
year-end  2000 equaled $2,173,000 versus $2,318,000 at year-end 1999 a reduction
of  6.3%.
     The  allowance  for  credit  losses,  that  buffers  the credit risk in the
lending  process,  is  decreased  by  the  amount  of  loans  charged off and is
increased  by  the  provision  for  credit  losses charged against income and by
recoveries.  There is no precise method of predicting which loans may ultimately
be  charged  off;  and  the  conclusion that a loan may become uncollectable, in
whole  or  in  part,  is  a matter of judgement.  Similarly, the adequacy of the
allowance and accompanying provision for credit losses can be determined only on
a  judgmental  basis  after  full  review,  including  consideration of economic
conditions  and  their  effects  on specific borrowers, the borrowers' financial
data,  and  evaluation  of  any underlying collateral enhancing the credit.  For
2000  the  Company  also  took  into consideration the possible effect of energy
costs  on  our  borrowers.
     Taking  into  consideration  our  assessment  of  the  quality  of the loan
portfolio, and the other factors previously discussed along with the weakness in
the  economy  and  increased loan volume prompted the company to slowly increase
the reserve for credit losses.  A provision of $100,000 was made in 2000 and the
reserve  increased  from  net  recoveries  for  the  year.  This  compares to no
provision  for  1999,  due to large recoveries, and a $56,000 provision in 1998.
Loans  totaling  $108,000  were  charged  off  during the year, and $221,000 was
recovered  increasing  the reserve for credit losses to $1,066,000.  The reserve
at  December  31,  2000  was 2.0% of gross loans compared to 1.7% of gross loans
outstanding  at  December  31,  1999  and  1.6%  in  1998.

ASSETS  AND  LIABILITIES
     This was a growth year for the Company with assets totaling  $92.9 million,
an increase of  $9.8 million or 12%. The asset growth was funded by increases in
total  deposits  of  $8.3  million  or 12% over the $71.5 million in deposits at
year-end  1999.  Average  assets  outstanding  also  increased  by  13% to $88.8
million.
     Asset  growth  was  spread between growth in loans as well as growth in the
investment  portfolio.  The  average  loans  outstanding  increased  from  $46.0
million  in  1999  to $52.5 million in 2000 with the commercial and construction
lending  portfolios  increasing  the  most.  Average  investment  securities
increased  from  $19.3  million  to  $22.2  million  in  2000.
     Deposit  growth  came  from  both  interest-bearing and noninterest-bearing
deposits.  Noninterest  -bearing  demand deposits increased $2.4 million brining
the  total  to 37% of deposits while interest-bearing deposits grew $6.0 million
and  represented  63%  of  total deposits.  Time certificates of deposit had the
most impact increasing $4.1 million or 27% and having the highest cost of funds.
With  depositors  looking for higher yields, the mix of deposits should continue
to  trend  towards  interest-bearing  deposits  growing  faster  in  the future.


LIQUIDITY  AND  CAPITAL

ASSET/LIABILITY  MANAGEMENT
     The  Company's  Asset/Liability  Committee  is responsible for managing the
risks  associated  with changing interest rates and their impact on earnings and
on  shareholders' equity.  Management uses three different measurement processes
to  quantify  and  measure  its  interest  rate risk: gap analysis, net interest
income  simulation  and  present value of equity analysis. Gap analysis measures
interest  rate  risk  in  terms of the mismatch between the stated repricing and
maturities  of  the Company's earning assets and liabilities within defined time
frames.  Net interest income simulation measures the change in income from drops
or  increases  in  interest  rates  in the market place and the present value of
equity  is used to provide information on the price sensitivity of shareholders'
equity  to  changes  in  interest  rates.
     In  order to appropriately reflect the repricing structure of the Company's
balance sheet, management has made certain adjustments to the balances reflected
in  the following table to account for the behavioral characteristics of certain
core  deposits that do not have specified contractual maturities (i.e., checking
with  interest,  savings, money markets).  In addition, the investment portfolio
is  shown  as  repricing at specified call date, if applicable, and not maturity
date.  The cumulative one-year gap position shown in the following interest rate
sensitivity  table  reflects  asset sensitivity of $18 million or 21% of earning
assets  at year-end.  This means that the Company is asset sensitive and that an
increase  in interest rates would likely cause earnings to increase, as a larger
portion  of  assets  than  liabilities  would reprice in 2000, and a decrease in
rates  would  decrease  earnings.
     Loans  and  deposits  that  can  immediately adjust either contractually or
because  they  are  tied to the prime rate or other indexes, which can change at
any  time,  are  included  in  the zero to three-month category.   The remaining
assets  and  liabilities  are  categorized  by either the next time the asset or
liability  may  be  repriced  or  the  maturity  date, whichever is sooner.  The
Company  does  not  use  off-balance  sheet  interest  rate instruments to hedge
interest  rate  risk,  but  does  employ interest rate floors on adjustable rate
loans.  The  floors  help  to  mitigate  the  loss  of  net interest income in a
declining  rate  environment.

CAPITAL
     The  federal  banking  agencies require a minimum ratio of qualifying total
capital  to  risk-adjusted  assets  of 8% and minimum ratio of Tier I capital to
risk-adjusted  assets  of 4%.  In addition to the risk based guidelines, federal
banking regulators require banking organizations to maintain a minimum amount of
Tier  I capital to total assets, referred to as the leverage ratio.  The Company
and  bank  meet  all  regulatory  guidelines  and  the  bank is considered "well
capitalized" under the regulations. The Company increased capital to $10,455,000
at  year-end  2000,  which  was  a  14%  improvement over 1999.  The capital was
increased  from  the  retained  earnings  generated  and  an  improvement in the
unrealized  value of investment securities available for sale.  The bank's total
risk-based  capital to asset ratio at year-end was 15.9% and the Tier I leverage
ratio  was 11.5%.  A further analysis of the capital position is covered in Note
L.

LIQUIDITY  MANAGEMENT
     The  objective of liquidity management is the ability to maintain cash flow
sufficient  to  meet  the  needs  of  depositors  and  borrowers and to fund its
operations.  The  Company  continues to have a stable base of core deposits that
provide  a  low-cost  source  of  stable  funds.  These  deposits  fluctuate but
management  maintains  a  weekly  report  of  the balances of its largest volume
customers  to  correctly  gauge  balance  fluctuations.
     The statement of cash flows shows the Company generated cash from operating
activities of $1,127,000 and $8,276,000 was from financing activities.  The cash
generated  was  used mainly to fund the increased loan portfolio and an increase
in  the investment portfolio. Cash and cash equivalents increased $2,049,000 for
the  year.  Liquidity  remains  adequate  for the Company's  needs and gives the

NOTES  TO  CONSOLIDATED  FINANCIAL  STATEMENTS

NOTE  A  -  SUMMARY  OF  SIGNIFICANT  ACCOUNTING  POLICIES

Basis  of  Presentation
-----------------------

The  accounting and reporting policies of Marathon Bancorp (the Company) and its
wholly  owned  subsidiary,  Marathon National Bank (the Bank), are in accordance
with  generally  accepted  accounting principles and conform to practices within
the  banking  industry.

Principles  of  Consolidation
-----------------------------

The  consolidated  financial  statements include the accounts of the Company and
the  Bank,  after  elimination  of  all  material  intercompany transactions and
balances.

Nature  of  Operations
----------------------

The  Bank has been organized as a single reporting segment and operates a branch
office, a loan production office, and corporate headquarters located in the west
side  of  the  City  of Los Angeles.  The Bank offers a wide range of commercial
banking  services  primarily to professionals and small to medium size companies
located  throughout  the  greater  Los  Angeles  area.

Use  of  Estimates  in  the  Preparation  of  Financial  Statements
-------------------------------------------------------------------

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  revenues  and  expenses during the reporting period.
Actual  results  could  differ  from  those  estimates.

Cash  and  Cash  Equivalents
----------------------------

For  purposes  of  reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash,
due  from  banks  and federal funds sold.  Generally, federal funds are sold for
one  day  periods.

Cash  and  Due  From  Banks
---------------------------

Banking  regulations  require  that  all  banks  maintain  a percentage of their
deposits  as  reserves in cash or on deposit with the Federal Reserve Bank.  The
Bank  complied  with  the  reserve  requirements  as  of  December  31,  2000.

The Bank maintains amounts due from banks which exceed federally insured limits.
The  Company  has  not  experienced  any  losses  in  such  accounts.

Investment  Securities
----------------------

Bonds,  notes,  and  debentures  for  which the Bank has the positive intent and
ability  to  hold  to  maturity  are reported at cost, adjusted for premiums and
discounts  that are recognized in interest income using the interest method over
the  period  to  maturity.

<PAGE>
NOTES  TO  CONSOLIDATED  FINANCIAL  STATEMENTS


NOTE  A  -  SUMMARY  OF  SIGNIFICANT  ACCOUNTING  POLICIES  -  CONTINUED

Investment  Securities  -  Continued
------------------------------------

Investments  not  classified  as  trading  securities  nor  as  held to maturity
securities  are classified as available-for-sale securities and recorded at fair
value.  Unrealized gains or losses on available-for-sale securities are excluded
from  net  income and reported as an amount net of taxes as a separate component
of  other  comprehensive  income  included in shareholders' equity.  Premiums or
discounts on held-to-maturity and available-for-sale securities are amortized or
accreted  into  income  using  the interest method.  Realized gains or losses on
sales  of  held-to-maturity  or available-for-sale securities are recorded using
the  specific  identification  method.

Loans
-----

Loans  receivable  that  management  has  the intent and ability to hold for the
foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are reported at their outstanding
unpaid  principal  balances  reduced  by  any  charge-offs or specific valuation
accounts  and  net  of  any  deferred  fees  or  costs  on  originated loans, or
unamortized  premiums  or  discounts  on  purchased  loans.

Loan  origination  fees and certain direct origination costs are capitalized and
recognized  as  an  adjustment  of  the  yield  of  the  related  loan.

The  accrual of interest on impaired loans is discontinued when, in management's
opinion,  the  borrower may be unable to meet payments as they become due.  When
interest  accrual  is  discontinued,  all  unpaid  accrued interest is reversed.
Interest  income is subsequently recognized only to the extent cash payments are
received.

For  impairment  recognized  in  accordance  with Financial Accounting Standards
Board  (FASB)  Statement  of  Financial  Accounting  Standards  (SFAS)  No. 114,
"Accounting  by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan", as amended by SFAS No. 118,
the  entire  change  in  the present value of expected cash flows is reported as
either  provision  for  loan  losses  in  the  same  manner  in which impairment
initially  was recognized, or as a reduction in the amount of provision for loan
losses  that  otherwise  would  be  reported.

Allowance  for  Credit  Losses
------------------------------

The  allowance for credit losses is increased by charges to income and decreased
by charge-offs (net of recoveries).  Quarterly detailed reviews are performed to
identify  the risks inherent in their loan portfolio, assess the overall quality
of  their  loan  portfolio  and to determine the adequacy of their allowance for
loan  losses and the related provision for loan losses to be charged to expense.
Loans  identified  as less than acceptable are reviewed individually to estimate
the  amount of probable losses that need to be included in the allowance.  These
reviews  include  analysis  of  financial  information  as well as evaluation of
collateral  securing  the credit.  Additionally, the Bank considers the inherent
risk  present  in  the  acceptable  portion  of their loan portfolio taking into
consideration  historical losses on pools of similar loans, adjusted for trends,
conditions  and other relevant factors that may affect repayment of the loans in
these  pools.


<PAGE>
NOTES  TO  CONSOLIDATED  FINANCIAL  STATEMENTS


NOTE  A  -  SUMMARY  OF  SIGNIFICANT  ACCOUNTING  POLICIES  -  CONTINUED

Premises  and  Equipment
------------------------

Premises  and  equipment  are  carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and
amortization.  Depreciation  is computed using the straight-line method over the
estimated  useful  lives,  which range from three to ten years for furniture and
fixtures.  Leasehold  improvements  are amortized using the straight-line method
over the estimated useful lives of the improvements or the remaining lease term,
whichever  is  shorter.  Expenditures  for  betterment  or  major  repairs  are
capitalized  and  those  for  ordinary  repairs  and  maintenance are charged to
operations  as  incurred.

Other  Real  Estate  Owned
--------------------------

Other  real  estate  owned (OREO), which represents real estate acquired through
foreclosure  in  satisfaction of commercial and real estate loans, is carried at
the  lower of cost or estimated fair value less selling costs.  Any loan balance
in  excess  of  the  fair  value  of  the  real  estate  acquired at the date of
foreclosure  is  charged  to  the  allowance  for  loan  losses.  Any subsequent
valuation  adjustments  are  charged  to  provision  for  other real estate loan
losses.  Operating income or expenses and gains or losses on disposition of such
properties are recorded in current operations under net operating costs of other
real  estate  owned.

Income  Taxes
-------------

Deferred  income  taxes are computed using the asset and liability method, which
recognizes  a  liability or asset representing the tax effects, based on current
tax  law,  of  future  deductible or taxable amounts attributable to events that
have  been  recognized  in  the  consolidated financial statements.  A valuation
allowance  is established to reduce the deferred tax asset to the level at which
it  is  "more  likely than not" that the tax asset or benefits will be realized.
Realization  of  tax  benefits of deductible temporary differences and operating
loss carryforwards depends on having sufficient taxable income of an appropriate
character  within  the  carryforward  periods.

Disclosure  About  Fair  Value  of  Financial  Instruments
----------------------------------------------------------

SFAS  No.  107 specifies the disclosure of the estimated fair value of financial
instruments.  The  Bank's  estimated  fair value amounts have been determined by
the  Bank  using  available  market  information  and  appropriate  valuation
methodologies.

However,  considerable  judgment  is  required  to develop the estimates of fair
value.  Accordingly, the estimates are not necessarily indicative of the amounts
the  Company  could  have  realized  in  a  current market exchange.  The use of
different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material
effect  on  the  estimated  fair  value  amounts.

Although  management is not aware of any factors that would significantly affect
the  estimated  fair  value  amounts, such amounts have not been comprehensively
revalued for purposes of these financial statements since the balance sheet date
and,  therefore,  current  estimates of fair value may differ significantly from
the  amounts  presented  in  the  accompanying  notes.

<PAGE>
NOTES  TO  CONSOLIDATED  FINANCIAL  STATEMENTS


NOTE  A  -  SUMMARY  OF  SIGNIFICANT  ACCOUNTING  POLICIES  -  CONTINUED

Earnings  Per  Shares  (EPS)
----------------------------

Basic  EPS  excludes  dilution  and  is computed by dividing income available to
common  stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding
for 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.

Stock-Based  Compensation
-------------------------

SFAS  No.  123,  "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," encourages, but does
not  require,  companies  to  record  compensation cost for stock-based employee
compensation plans at fair value.  The Company has chosen to continue to account
for  stock-based  compensation  using  the  intrinsic value method prescribed in
Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued
to  Employees", and related interpretations.  Accordingly, compensation cost for
stock  options  is measured as the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of
the  Company's  stock  at the date of the grant over the amount an employee must
pay  to  acquire  the stock.  The pro forma effects of adoption are disclosed in
Note  J.

Comprehensive  Income
---------------------

Beginning  in  1998,  the  Bank  adopted  SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive
Income",  which  requires  the  disclosure  of  comprehensive  income  and  its
components.  Changes  in  unrealized  gains  (losses)  on  available-for-sale
securities  net  of  income  taxes  is  the  only component of accumulated other
comprehensive  income  for  the  Bank.

Current  Accounting  Pronouncements
-----------------------------------

In  June  1998,  the  FASB  issued  SFAS  No.  133,  "Accounting  for Derivative
Instruments  and Hedging Activities".  This Statement establishes accounting and
reporting standards for derivative instruments and for hedging activities.  This
new  standard  was originally effective for 2000.  In June 1999, the FASB issued
SFAS  No.  137,  "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities -
Deferral  of  the  Effective  Date  of  FASB Statement No. 133".  This statement
establishes  the  effective date of SFAS No. 133 for 2001 and is not expected to
have  a  material  impact  on  the  Bank'  s  financial  statements.

Reclassifications
-----------------

Certain  reclassifications were made to prior years' presentations to conform to
the  current  year.  These  reclassifications  are of a normal recurring nature.

NOTE  C  -  LOANS

The  Bank's  loan  portfolio consists primarily of loans to borrowers within the
Los  Angeles  Area  of  Southern  California.  Although  the Bank seeks to avoid
concentrations  of  loans  to  a single industry or based upon a single class of
collateral,  real  estate  and  real  estate associated businesses are among the
principal industries in the Bank's market area and, as a result, the Bank's loan
and  collateral  portfolios are to some degree concentrated in those industries.

NOTES  TO  CONSOLIDATED  FINANCIAL  STATEMENTS

NOTE  I  -  COMMITMENTS  AND  CONTINGENCIES

The Company and the Bank are subject to pending or threatened legal actions that
arise  in  the  normal  course  of  business.  Based  on  current  information,
management  is  of  the  opinion that the disposition of all litigation will not
have  a  material  effect  on  the  Company's consolidated financial statements.

In  the  normal course of business, the Bank is a party to financial instruments
with  off  balance sheet risk, which are intended to meet the financing needs of
its customers.  These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit
and  letters  of  credit,  which are not reflected in the consolidated financial
statements.  These  instruments  involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit
and  interest  rate risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the consolidated
financial  statements.  The Bank's exposure to credit loss commitments to extend
credit  and  letters  of  credit  is  represented by the contractual or notional
amount  of  those  instruments.

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>


The  following  is  a  summary  of  contractual or notional amounts of financial
instruments  with  off  balance  sheet  risk  as  of  December  31,  2000.


                                 2000
                              -----------

                              -----------

                              $18,539,000
                              ===========

</TABLE>

Commitments  to extend credit are agreements to lend a customer as long as there
is  no  violation  of  any  condition  established in the contract.  Commitments
generally  have  fixed  expiration  dates  or  other termination clauses and may
require  payment of a fee.  Since many of the commitments are expected to expire
without  being  drawn  upon,  the  total  commitment  amounts do not necessarily
represent  future  cash  requirements.

The  Bank  uses the same credit policies in making off balance sheet commitments
and  conditional obligations as it does for balance sheet instruments.  The Bank
evaluated  each customer's creditworthiness on a case by case basis.  The amount
of  collateral  obtained,  if  deemed  necessary  by  the Bank upon extension of
credit, is based on management's credit evaluation.  The collateral held varies,
but  may  include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment,
and  income  producing  commercial  and  residential  properties.

NOTE  K  -  FAIR  VALUE  OF  FINANCIAL  INSTRUMENTS

The  fair  value  of  a financial instrument is the amount at which the asset or
obligation  could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties,
other  than in a forced or liquidation sale.  Fair value estimates are made at a
specific  point  in  time  based  on relevant market information and information
about  the  financial instrument.  These estimates do not reflect any premium or
discount  that  could  result  from  offering  for  sale  at one time the entire
holdings  of  a particular financial instrument.  Because no market value exists
for a significant portion of the financial instruments, fair value estimates are
based  on  judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic
conditions,  risk  characteristics  of  various financial instruments, and other
factors.  These  estimates  are  subjective in nature, involve uncertainties and
matters  of  judgment  and,  therefore,  cannot  be  determined  with precision.
Changes  in  assumptions  could  significantly  affect  the  estimates.

Fair  value  estimates  are  based  on financial instruments both on and off the
balance  sheet  without  attempting  to estimate the value of anticipated future
business  and  the  value  of  assets  and  liabilities  that are not considered
financial  instruments.  Additionally,  tax  consequences  related  to  the
realization  of  the  unrealized gains and losses can have a potential effect on
fair  value  estimates  and  have  not been considered in many of the estimates.

NOTES  TO  CONSOLIDATED  FINANCIAL  STATEMENTS

NOTE  K  -  FAIR  VALUE  OF  FINANCIAL  INSTRUMENTS  -  CONTINUED

The  following  methods  and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of
significant  financial  instruments:

Financial  Assets
-----------------

The  carrying  amounts  of  cash,  short term investments, due from customers on
acceptances, and bank acceptances outstanding are considered to approximate fair
value.  Short  term investments include federal funds sold, securities purchased
under  agreements to resell, and interest bearing deposits with banks.  The fair
values  of  investment  securities,  including available for sale, are generally
based  on  quoted  market prices.  The fair value of loans are estimated using a
combination of techniques, including discounting estimated future cash flows and
quoted  market  prices  of  similar  instruments  where  available.

Financial  Liabilities
----------------------

The carrying amounts of deposit liabilities payable on demand, commercial paper,
and  other  borrowed  funds are considered to approximate fair value.  For fixed
maturity  deposits, fair value is estimated by discounting estimated future cash
flows  using  currently  offered  rates  for  deposits  of  similar  remaining
maturities.  The  fair  value  of  long  term  debt  is based on rates currently
available  to  the  Bank  for  debt with similar terms and remaining maturities.

Off  Balance  Sheet  Financial  Instruments
-------------------------------------------

The  fair value of commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is
estimated  using  the  fees  currently charged to enter into similar agreements.
The  fair  value  of  these  financial  instruments  is  not  material.

NOTES  TO  CONSOLIDATED  FINANCIAL  STATEMENTS

NOTE  L  -  REGULATORY  MATTERS

The  Company  and  Bank  are  subject to various regulatory capital requirements
administered  by  the federal banking agencies.  Failure to meet minimum capital
requirements  can  initiate  certain  mandatory  and  possible  additional
discretionary  actions  by  regulators  that, if undertaken, could have a direct
material  effect  on the Company's financial statements.  Under capital adequacy
guidelines  and  the  regulatory  framework  for  prompt  corrective action, the
Company and Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative
measures  of  the  assets,  liabilities,  and certain off-balance-sheet items as
calculated  under  regulatory  accounting  practices.  The  capital  amounts and
classification 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  Company and Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth
in  the table below) of total and Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations)
to  risk-weighted  assets  (as  defined),  and of Tier 1 capital (as defined) to
average assets (as defined).  Management believes, as of December 31, 2000, that
the  Company  and  Bank meet all capital adequacy requirements to which they are
subject.

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>

As  of  December 31, 2000, the most recent notification from the Federal Deposit
Insurance  Corporation  categorized  the  Bank  as  well-capitalized  under  the
regulatory  framework  for  prompt corrective action (there are no conditions or
events  since that notification that management believes have changed the Bank's
category).  To  be  categorized  as  well-capitalized,  the  Bank  must maintain
minimum  ratios  as set forth in the table below.  The following table also sets
forth  the  Bank's  actual  capital  amounts  and  ratios  (dollar  amounts  in
thousands):

</TABLE>

The  Company  is  subject  to  similar  requirements administered by its primary
regulator,  the  Federal  Reserve  Board.  For  capital  adequacy  purposes, the
Company  must  maintain total capital to risk-weighted assets, Tier 1 capital to
risk-weighted  assets  and  Tier  1  capital to average assets of 8.0%, 4.0% and
4.0%,  respectively.  Its  total capital to risk-weighted assets, Tier 1 capital
to  risk-weighted  assets and Tier 1 capital to average assets was 15.9%, 14.6%,
and  11.5%,  respectively,  at  December  31,  2000.

INDEPENDENT  AUDITORS'  REPORT


The  Board  of  Directors  and  Shareholders
Marathon  Bancorp

We  have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Marathon Bancorp
and  Subsidiary  as of December 31, 2000 and the related consolidated statements
of  operations, changes in shareholder's equity and cash flows for the two years
ended  December  31,  2000.  These  consolidated  financial  statements  are the
responsibility  of  the Marathon Bancorp's management.  Our responsibility is to
express  an  opinion  on  these  consolidated  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 audit to obtain
reasonable  assurance  about  whether  the consolidated 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, such consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Marathon Bancorp and
Subsidiary  as  of  December 31, 2000, and the results of its operations and its
cash  flows  for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2000, in
conformity  with  generally  accepted  accounting  principles.

     Not  less than thirty (30) days prior to (i) the dissolution or liquidation
of  the Company; (ii) the completion through tender offer of an acquisition of a
majority  of  the  outstanding  voting  shares  of  the Company's stock; (iii) a
reorganization,  merger,  or  consolidation  of  the  Company  with  one or more
corporations  or a sale of all or substantially all the assets of the Company to
another  person  (a  "Terminating  Event") (other than a merger or consolidation
with  a wholly-owned subsidiary, a reincorporation of the Company in a different
jurisdiction,  or  other  transaction,  all  of in which there is no substantial
change  in the shareholders of the Company or their relative stock holdings, and
the  Stock Options granted under this Plan are assumed, converted or replaced by
the  successor  corporation, which assumption will be binding on all optionees),

Event  shall be, notwithstanding the provisions of the Plan, exercisable in full
and not only as to those shares with respect to which installments, if any, have
then accrued, subject, however, to earlier expiration or termination as provided
elsewhere in the Plan.  Unless the Board of Directors determines otherwise, upon
the  consummation  of  the Terminating Event, the Plan and any option or portion
thereof  not  exercised  shall  terminate unless provision is made in connection
with  the  Terminating  Event  for  assumption  of  the  Plan and/or the options
theretofore  granted,  or  substitution for such options of new options covering
stock of a successor employer corporation, or a parent or subsidiary corporation
thereof,  solely  at  the  option  of  such  successor  corporation or parent or
subsidiary  corporation,  with  appropriate adjustments as to number and kind of
shares  and  prices.
