Item 5.  Other Events
         ------------

         On October 29, 1998,  First  Carnegie  Deposit,  a federally  chartered
savings bank  ("Bank"),  completed  its stock  holding  company  reorganization,
whereby the Bank became the wholly owned  subsidiary of Skibo Financial Corp., a
federally chartered stock holding company ("Skibo  Financial").  Skibo Financial
is majority owned by Skibo Bancshares, M.H.C., a federal mutual holding company.

         Pursuant to an agreement and plan of reorganization dated May 14, 1998,
shares of Bank common stock were  exchanged  for shares of common stock of Skibo
Financial Corp. on a three-for-two basis.

         Registrar and Transfer Company, Cranford, New Jersey is Skibo
Financial's transfer agent.

         The common stock of the Company has been registered with the Securities
and Exchange  Commission  under the Securities  Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
("Exchange  Act"), and its common stock succeeded the Bank's common stock on the
Nasdaq SmallCap Market and trade under the symbol "SKBOD"  beginning October 30,
1998 for 20 trading days.  Following the expiration of the 20-day period,  Skibo
Financial Corp.'s common stock will trade under the Bank's old symbol "SKBO."

         The Bank previously filed Exchange Act reports with the Office
of Thrift Supervision, Business Transactions Division, 1700 G
Street, N.W., Washington, D.C.  20052.

         A copy of a press release  issued October 29, 1998 by the Registrant is
