However, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (which are normal and recurring in nature) necessary for a fair presentation have been included. 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 disclosures 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. The results of operations for the three months and nine months ended March 31, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the entire year. Note B - Principles of Consolidation The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Midland Capital Holdings Corporation (the "Company") and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Midland Federal Savings and Loan Association (the "Association"), Midland Service Corporation, MS Insurance Agency, Inc. and Bridgeview Development Company. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Note C - Stock Conversion In January, 1993, the Association's Board of Directors approved a plan to voluntarily convert the Association from a federal mutual savings and loan association to a federal stock savings and loan association. The stock offering of Midland Federal Savings and Loan Association was closed on June 30, 1993 with the sale of 345,000 shares of $.01 par value common stock at $10.00 per share. Note D ~ Holding Company Reorganization On March 19, 1998 the Board of Directors of the Association adopted a proposal to reorganize the Association into a holding company form of organization in accordance with a Merger Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the "Reorganization"). The Reorganization was approved by the Association's shareholders on July 15, 1998 and became effective on July 23, 1998. As a result of the Reorganization, the Association became a wholly owned subsidiary of Midland Capital Holdings Corporation, a newly formed Delaware Corporation, and each outstanding share of common stock of the Association became, by operation of law, one share of common stock of Midland Capital Holdings Corporation. Midland Capital Holdings Corporation operates as a unitary thrift holding company. Note E - Earnings Per Share Earnings per share for the three month and nine month periods ended March 31, 1999 and 1998 were determined by dividing net income for the period by the weighted average number of both basic and diluted shares of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding (see Exhibit 11 attached). Stock options are regarded as common stock equivalents and are therefore considered in diluted earnings per share calculations. Common stock equivalents are computed using the treasury stock method. -5- MIDLAND CAPITAL HOLDINGS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) Note F - Effect of New Accounting Standards In February 1998, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 132 ("SFAS 132"), entitled "Employers' Disclosure about Pensions and Other Post-retirement Benefits". SFAS 132 alters current disclosure requirements regarding pensions and other post-retirement benefits in the financial statements of employers who sponsor such benefit plans. The revised disclosure requirements are designed to provide additional information to assist readers in evaluating future costs related to such plans. Additionally, the revised disclosures are designed to provide changes in the components of pension and benefit costs in addition to the year end components of those factors in the resulting asset or liability related to such plans. The statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997 with earlier application available. Management does not believe that adoption of SFAS 132 will have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial condition or results of operations. In June 1998, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 ("SFAS 133"), entitled "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and for Hedging Activities". SFAS 133 provides a comprehensive and consistent standard for the recognition and measurement of derivatives and hedging activities. The statement requires all derivatives to be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value and establishes special accounting for the following three different types of hedges: hedges of changes in the fair value of assets, liabilities or firm commitments (referred to as fair value hedges); hedges of the variable cash flows of forecasted transactions (cash flow hedges); and hedges of foreign currency exposures of net investments in foreign operations. Though the accounting treatment and criteria for each of the three types of hedges is unique, they all result in recognizing offsetting changes in value or cash flows of both the hedge and the hedged item in earnings in the same period. Changes in the fair value of derivatives that do not meet the criteria of one of these three categories of hedges are included in earnings in the period of the change. SFAS 133 is effective for years beginning after June 15, 1999, but companies can early adopt as of the beginning of any fiscal quarter that begins after June 1998. Management does not expect the adoption of this statement to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial condition or results of operations. In October 1998, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 134 ("SFAS 134"), entitled "Accounting for Mortgage-Backed Securities Retained after the Securitization of Mortgage Loans Held for Sale by a Mortgage Banking Enterprise. SFAS 134 is effective for the first fiscal quarter after December 15, 1998. This statement amends SFAS No. 65 "Accounting for Certain Mortgage Banking Activities." This statement revises the accounting for retained securities and beneficial interests. Management does not believe that adoption of SFAS No. 134 will have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial condition or results of operations. The foregoing does not constitute a comprehensive summary of all material changes or development affecting the manner in which the Company keeps its books and records and performs its financial accounting responsibilities. It is untended only as a summary of some of the recent pronouncements made by the FASB which are of particular interest to financial institutions. -6- MIDLAND CAPITAL HOLDINGS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS GENERAL Midland Capital Holdings Corporation (the "Company") is a Delaware corporation which was organized in 1998 by Midland Federal Savings and Loan Association (the "Association" or "Midland Federal") for the purpose of becoming a thrift institution holding company. The Company and the Association are headquartered in Bridgeview, Illinois. The Association began operations in 1914 as a state-chartered mutual savings institution. In 1982 the Association became a federal mutual savings and loan association. On June 30, 1993 the Association completed a conversion to the stock form of organization. In that conversion, the Association issued 345,000 shares of Common Stock, raising net proceeds of approximately $3.1 million. On July 23, 1998 the Association became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The principal asset of the Company is the outstanding stock of the Association. The Company presently has no separate operations and its business consists only of the business of the Association. All references to the Company, unless otherwise indicated, at or before July 23, 1998 refer to the Association. Midland Federal has been principally engaged in the business of attracting deposits from the general public and using such deposits to originate residential mortgage loans, and to a lesser extent, consumer, multi-family and other loans in its primary market area. The Association also has made substantial investments in mortgage-backed securities, investment securities and liquid assets. The Association's primary market area consists of Southwest Chicago, and the southwest suburban communities of Bridgeview, Oak Lawn, Palos Hills, Hickory Hills, Burbank and Justice which it serves through its main office in Bridgeview and two branch banking offices in southwest Chicago. In April 1999, the Association opened a full-service branch banking facility located in Homer Township, Illinois, a southwest suburb of Chicago. The primary market area of the Association's Homer Township facility are the communities of Lockport, Lemont and Orland Park. The Association's deposits are insured up to applicable limits by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"). At March 31, 1999 Midland Federal had tangible and core capital of $8.2 million, which capital levels exceeded all of its fully phased-in regulatory capital requirements. FINANCIAL CONDITION During the nine months ended March 31, 1999, total assets of the Company increased by $6.2 million to $123.6 million from $117.4 million at June 30, 1998. Net loans receivable and loans available for sale increased $10.3 million to $49.4 million at March 31, 1999 as loan disbursements of $23.3 million more than offset loan repayments of $8.9 million and loan sales of $4.2 million. The $10.3 million increase in net loans receivable was primarily funded by a $6.2 million increase in deposits to $114.0 million at March 31, 1999. Mortgage backed securities declined by $3.8 million due to repayments in the amount of $4.9 million, which exceeded purchases of mortgage-backed securities in the amount of $1.1 million during the nine months ended March 31, 1999. The balance of investment securities remained stable at $21.2 million at March 31, 1999. The weighted average remaining maturity of the Company's investment securities portfolio at March 31, 1999 was 1.8 years. -7- MIDLAND CAPITAL HOLDINGS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued) FINANCIAL CONDITION (continued) As discussed above, deposits for the nine months ended March 31, 1999 increased by $6.2 million as deposit activity of $284.7 million and interest credited to deposits in the amount of $3.0 million exceeded withdrawal activity of $281.5 million. The net increase in savings deposits is attributed to a $2.5 million increase in certificate of deposit accounts, a $2.3 million increase in transaction deposits including money market accounts and a $1.4 million increase in passbook accounts. The net increase in savings deposits is attributed to more aggressive pricing and promotion of certificate of deposit rates. Stockholders' equity for the nine months ended March 31, 1999 increased $276,000 to $9.0 million. The increase in stockholders' equity was primarily the result of earnings in the amount of $342,000 and a $24,000 reduction in the unamortized cost of the Association's Bank Incentive Plan, offset by a $14,000 market adjustment from securities available for sale, net of income taxes, and dividends paid on common stock in the amount of $82,000. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The Company had net income of $115,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1999 compared to net income of $147,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1998. The decline in net income in the current quarter is the result of a $5,000 decrease in net interest income and an $84,000 increase in non-interest expense offset by a $40,000 increase in non-interest income and a $17,000 decrease in income taxes. Net interest income decreased $5,000 to $790,000 in the quarter ended March 31, 1999 from $795,000 during the prior year quarter as decreases in both net interest margin and interest rate spread offset increases in the average balance of interest earning assets. For the quarter ended March 31, 1999 the Company's net interest margin and interest rate spread both decreased to 2.72% and 2.65%, respectively, from 3.07% and 2.99%, respectively, for the quarter ended March 31, 1998. The average balance of interest earning assets increased $12.5 million to $116.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1999 from $103.6 million in the prior year quarter. The ratio of average interest earning assets to average interest bearing liabilities also increased to 110.65% in the quarter ended March 31, 1999 from 110.50% in the prior year quarter. For the nine months ended March 31, 1999 the Company had net income of $342,000 compared to net income of $498,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 1998. The decline in net income in the current nine month period is the result of a $16,000 decrease in net interest income and a $324,000 increase in non-interest expense offset by a $106,000 increase in non-interest income and a $79,000 decrease in income taxes. The decrease in net interest income in the current nine month period is attributed to decreases in both net interest margin and interest rate spread. Net interest margin and interest rate spread decreased to 2.73% and 2.64%, respectively from 3.04% and 2.97%, respectively, in the prior year period. The declines in both net interest margin and interest rate spread offset an $11.1 million increase in the average balance of interest earning assets to $114.5 million for the nine months ended March 31, 1999. The ratio of average interest earning assets to average interest bearing liabilities also increased to 110.65% from 110.12% in the prior year period. -8- MIDLAND CAPITAL HOLDINGS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued) Interest Income Interest income increased $82,000, or 4.7%, for the quarter ended March 31, 1999 from the comparable prior year quarter. An increase in the average balance of interest earning assets to $116.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1999 from $103.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 was partially offset by a decrease in the average yield earned on interest earning assets to 6.26% for the quarter ended March 31, 1999 compared to 6.70% for the quarter ended March 31, 1998. For the nine months ended March 31, 1999 interest income increased $266,000 or 5.1% from the comparable prior year period as the result of an $11.1 million increase in the average outstanding balance of interest earning assets to $114.5 million from the prior year period. The increase in the average outstanding balance of interest earning assets was offset by a decrease in the average yield earned on interest earning assets to 6.40% from 6.74% in the prior year period. Interest on loans receivable increased $204,000, or 29.5%, as a result of an increase in the average outstanding balance of net loans receivable to $48.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1999 from $34.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1998. The increase in the average outstanding balance of net loans receivable offset a decrease in the average yield earned on loans receivable to 7.37% for the quarter ended March 31, 1999 from 8.10% for the quarter ended March 31, 1998. The decline in average yield is primarily due to increased refinance activity on loans due to the continued decline in interest rates. Interest on mortgage backed securities decreased $98,000, or 25.5%, as a result of a $5.1 million reduction in the average balance of mortgage backed securities outstanding to $17.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1999 from $22.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1998. The average yield earned on mortgage backed securities also decreased to 6.51% for the quarter ended March 31, 1999 from 6.78% for the quarter ended March 31, 1998. Interest earned on investment securities decreased $16,000, or 5.0%, due to a decrease in the average yield on investment securities to 5.60% for the quarter ended March 31, 1999 from 5.90% for the quarter ended March 31, 1998. The average balance of investment securities remained stable at $21.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1999 as compared with the prior year quarter. Interest earned on interest bearing deposits decreased $8,000, or 2.3%, as a result of a decrease in the average yield earned on interest bearing deposits to 4.69% for the quarter ended March 31, 1999 from 5.39% for the quarter ended March 31, 1998. The decrease in the average yield earned on interest bearing deposits was partially offset by an increase in the average outstanding balance of interest bearing deposits to $28.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1999 compared to $25.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1998. -9- MIDLAND CAPITAL HOLDINGS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued) Interest Income (continued) For the nine months ended March 31, 1999 interest on loans receivable increased $466,000 from the comparable prior year period. The increase in interest on loans receivable was due to an $11.4 million increase in the average outstanding balance of loans receivable to $45.1 million from $33.7 million for the nine months ended March 31, 1998. The $11.4 million increase in the average outstanding balance of loans receivable offset a decrease in the average yield earned on loans receivable to 7.48% for the nine months ended March 31, 1999 from 8.16% for the prior year period. The growth in the Company's loan portfolio is attributed to aggressive pricing and direct marketing of the Company's loan products. For the nine months ended March 31, 1999 interest earned on mortgage backed securities decreased $242,000 to $952,000 from $1.2 million for the nine months ended March 31, 1998. The primary factor for the decrease in interest on mortgage backed securities was a $4.4 million decrease in the average outstanding balance of mortgage backed securities as well as a decline in the average yield earned on mortgage backed securities. During the nine months ended March 31, 1999 the average outstanding balance of mortgage backed securities declined to $19.2 million from $23.6 million for the nine months ended March 31, 1998. The average yield earned on mortgage backed securities also declined to 6.62% for the nine months ended March 31, 1999 from 6.73% for the nine months ended March 31, 1998. Proceeds from repayments of mortgage backed securities were used to partially fund the increased loan demand, discussed above. For the nine months ended March 31, 1999 interest earned on investment securities decreased $26,000 to $908,000 from $934,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 1998. The primary factor for the decrease in interest earned on investment securities was a decrease in the average yield earned on investment securities to 5.71% for the nine months ended March 31, 1999 from 5.90% for the nine months ended March 31, 1998. The decrease in the average yield on the Association's investment securities was the result of lower reinvestment yields on maturing investment securities despite the same original terms to maturity. The average balance of investment securities remained constant at $21.2 million for both the nine months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998. For the nine months ended March 31, 1999 interest earned on interest bearing deposits increased $68,000 to $1.1 million from $1.0 million for the nine months ended March 31, 1998. The increase in interest income is primarily attributed to a $4.0 million increase in the average outstanding balance of interest bearing deposits to $28.4 million for the nine months ended March 31, 1999 from $24.4 million for the nine months ended March 31, 1998. The increase in the average outstanding balance of interest bearing deposits more than offset a decrease in the average yield earned on interest bearing deposits to 5.05% for the nine months ended March 31, 1999 from 5.52% in the year earlier period. The decrease in the average yield on interest bearing deposits reflected the decrease in short-term market interest rates that occurred between the two periods. The Company has historically maintained a relatively high level of cash equivalents and other short-term investments in an attempt to control interest rate risk. -10- MIDLAND CAPITAL HOLDINGS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued) Interest Expense Interest expense increased $87,000, or 9.3%, due to a $11.1 million increase in the average balance of interest costing deposits to $104.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1999 from $93.8 million in the quarter ended March 31, 1998. The increase in the average balance of interest costing deposits more than offset a decrease in the average yield paid on interest costing deposits to 3.91% for the quarter ended March 31, 1999 from 4.01% for the quarter ended March 31, 1998. For the nine months ended March 31, 1999 interest expense increased $283,000 from the prior year period. The increase in interest expense in the current nine month period was the result of a $9.4 million increase in the average outstanding balance of interest costing deposits to $103.4 million during the nine months ended March 31, 1999 from $93.9 million in the nine months ended March 31, 1998. The average yield paid on interest costing deposits remained stable at 4.07% for both the nine month periods ended March 31, 1999 and March 31, 1998, respectively. Provisions for Losses on Loans The Company maintains an allowance for loan losses based upon management's periodic evaluation of known and inherent risks in the loan portfolio, the Company's past loan loss experience, adverse situations that may affect borrowers' ability to repay loans, estimated value of the underlying collateral and current and expected market conditions. The Company made no provisions for loan losses out of income in either period based upon the absence of any specific asset quality problems, the current level of general loan loss reserves and management's assessment of the inherent risk in the loan portfolio. Non-performing loans, net of specific reserves, totaled $295,000 at March 31, 1999 and consisted of $242,000 in four single family residential mortgage loans, $38,000 in one multi-family residential mortgage loan and $15,000 in consumer loans. General loan loss reserves totaled $165,000 or 56.13% of net non-performing loans at March 31, 1999. At March 31, 1999, the Company was aware of no regulatory directives or suggestions that the Association make additional provisions for losses on loans. Although the Company believes its allowance for loan losses is at a level that it considers to be adequate to provide for potential losses, there can be no assurance that such losses will not exceed the estimated amounts. Non-Interest Income Non-interest income increased $40,000 to $302,000 in the quarter ended March 31, 1999 compared with $262,000 in the year earlier period. The increase in non-interest income in the current quarter was primarily the result of an $18,000 increase in loan fees and service charges, a $13,000 increase in commission income and a $10,000 increase in profit on the sale of loans compared with the prior year period. The increase in loan fees and service charges in the quarter ended March 31, 1999 is primarily attributed to increased loan origination activity. The increases in non-interest income were offset by a $9,000 reduction in deposit related fees in the quarter ended March 31, 1999 compared with the prior year period. -11- MIDLAND CAPITAL HOLDINGS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued) Non-Interest Income (continued) For the nine months ended March 31, 1999, non-interest income increased $106,000 to $923,000 from $817,000 in the prior year period. The increase in non-interest income in the current nine month period is primarily attributed to a $108,000 increase in loan fees and service charges, a $23,000 increase in profit on the sale of loans and a $12,000 increase in commission income, offset by a $59,000 decrease in deposit related fees. The decrease in deposit related fees during the current nine month period is primarily attributed to the implementation of system changes in the processing of demand deposit in-clearings related to the conversion of the Association's customer account data processing systems to a new service provider in October 1998. These critical data processing system changes took longer to implement than had been anticipated resulting in some lost fee income associated with demand deposit activity. The reduction in fee income associated with these changes is believed to be an isolated event that is not anticipated to reoccur. Non-Interest Expense Non-interest expense increased $84,000 to $918,000 in the quarter ended March 31, 1999 compared to $834,000 in the prior year quarter. The increase in non-interest expense in the current quarter is primarily the result of a $53,000 increase in staffing costs, a $28,000 increase in occupancy and equipment expense, an $8,000 increase in computer software and support expense and a $6,000 increase in data processing costs. These increases in non-interest expense in the current quarter were offset by reductions in advertising expense and real estate owned expense in the amounts of $8,000 and $6,000, respectively, compared with the prior year period. For the nine months ended March 31, 1999 non-interest expense increased $324,000 to $2.7 million from $2.4 million in the prior year period. The primary factors for the increase in non-interest expense in the current nine month period were a $195,000 increase in staffing costs, a $41,000 increase in data processing fees, a $37,000 increase in computer software and support expense and a $33,000 increase in occupancy and equipment expense. Advertising expense declined by $12,000 in the current nine month period compared with the prior year period. The increase in staffing costs in both the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 1999 is primarily attributed to an increase in commissions paid to staff loan originators as a result of increased loan origination activity, as discussed above. The increases in computer software and support expense and data processing costs in both the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 1999 are the result of costs associated with the conversion of the Company's on-line data processing systems to another service provider, as discussed above. Income Taxes Income taxes decreased to $59,000 in the quarter ended March 31, 1999 from $76,000 for the prior year quarter. For the nine months ended March 31, 1999 income taxes decreased to $177,000 compared to $256,000 in the prior year period. The decreased income tax provision was due primarily to the decrease in operating income in both periods as compared to the prior year periods. -12- MIDLAND CAPITAL HOLDINGS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued) LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company's principal sources of funds are deposits, loan and mortgage backed securities repayments, proceeds from the maturities of investment securities and other funds provided by operations. In addition, the Association may borrow funds from the FHLB of Chicago. The Company maintains investments in liquid assets based upon management's assessment of (i) the Company's need for funds, (ii) expected deposit flows, (iii) the yields available on short-term liquid assets and (iv) the objectives of the Company's asset/liability management program. The OTS requires members of the FHLB system to maintain minimum levels of liquid assets. OTS regulations currently require the Association to maintain an average daily balance of liquid assets equal to at least 4% of the sum of its average daily balance of net withdrawable deposit accounts and borrowings payable in one year or less. At March 31, 1999, the Association's regulatory liquidity ratio was 49.8%. At such date, the Company had commitments to originate $1.2 million in loans, to sell $306,000 in loans, no commitments to purchase loans and no commitments to either purchase or sell securities. The Company uses its capital resources principally to meet its ongoing commitments to fund maturing certificate of deposits and deposit withdrawals, fund existing and continuing loan commitments, maintain its liquidity and meet operating expenses. The Company considers its liquidity and capital reserves sufficient to meet its outstanding short and long-term needs. The Company expects to be able to fund or refinance, on a timely basis, its material commitments and long-term liabilities. At March 31, 1999 the Association had tangible and core capital of $8.2 million, or 6.7% of adjusted total assets, which was approximately $6.3 million and $4.5 million above the minimum requirements in effect on that date of 1.5% and 3.0%, respectively, of adjusted total assets. At March 31, 1999 the Association had total capital of $8.3 million (including $8.2 million in core capital) and risk-weighted assets of $41.0 million, or total capital of 20.3% of risk-weighted assets. This amount was $5.1 million above the 8.0% requirement in effect on that date. -13- MIDLAND CAPITAL HOLDINGS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued) FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS When used in this Form 10-QSB and in future filings by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), in the Company's press releases or other public or shareholder communications, and in oral statements made with the approval of an authorized executive officer, the words or phrases "will likely result", "are expected to", "will continue", "is anticipated", "estimate", "project" or similar expressions are intended to identify "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS In April 1999 the Company opened a full service branch banking facility in Homer Township, Will County, Illinois, a southwest suburb of Chicago. Midland Federal has entered into a long term retail lease for the Homer Township office premises including a lease of contiguous land for a drive-up facility, parking and/or future expansion. IMPACT OF THE YEAR 2000 The Company's data processing functions are performed by the Association or outside vendors. The Association has conducted a comprehensive review of its computer systems to identify applications that could be affected by the Year 2000 issue and has developed an implementation plan to address the issue. The Association is in contact with vendors and providers of critical systems to determine their progress in bringing such systems into Year 2000 compliance. The Association converted its on-line customer account data processing, as well as certain other critical data processing and computer systems, to a new service provider in October 1998, as part of its plan to address Year 2000 issues. The Company estimates that it has spent approximately $250,000 in the current fiscal year on computer system upgrades related to either the conversion or Year 2000 issues. The Company estimates that future expenditures to address Year 2000 issues will be approximately $20,000 for additional computer system upgrades. Year 2000 testing of the Association's on-line customer account data processing system was completed by March 31, 1999. Completion of Year 2000 testing of the Association's other mission critical data processing systems is anticipated by June 30, 1999. The Company is currently developing a Year 2000 Contingency Plan, which Plan is anticipated to be in place by June 30, 1999. -14- MIDLAND CAPITAL HOLDINGS CORPORATION PART II - OTHER INFORMATION Item 1.
