Pursuant to the acquisition agreement, 10% of the shares owned by each person included in the above table is being held in an escrow that will terminate one year after the closing date of the Acquisition. The purpose of the escrow is to secure contingent obligations to indemnify the Company in certain circumstances under the terms of the acquisition agreement. The Company and the Selling Stockholders have agreed that the Company will pay the costs and expenses incurred in connection with the registration of the Common Stock and this offering, except that the Selling Stockholders shall pay the fees of their own counsel and shall be responsible for all selling commissions and all transfer taxes and related charges in connection with the offer and sale of such shares. In addition, the Company has agreed to indemnify the Selling Stockholders against liability arising from actual or alleged misstatements in the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus forms a part (other than liabilities arising from information supplied by a Selling Stockholder for use in the preparation of the Registration Statement), and the Selling Stockholders have agreed to indemnify the Company against liability arising from actual or alleged misstatements or omissions in the Registration Statement as the result of misstatements or omissions in the information supplied by the Selling Stockholders for use in the preparation of the Registration Statement. 4 PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION The sale of all or a portion of the shares of Common Stock offered hereby by the Selling Stockholders, or by pledgees, donees, transferees or other successors in interest, may be effected through underwriters or dealers, directly to one or more purchasers, through agents, on the New York Stock Exchange, trading "regular way," in brokerage transactions effected through Legg Mason Wood Walker, or through a combination of any such methods of sale. Any underwriter, dealer or agent involved in the offer and sale of the Common Stock in an underwritten offering will be named in an applicable prospectus supplement. The distribution of the Common Stock may be effected from time to time in one or more transactions at a fixed price or prices, which may be changed, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. Legg Mason Wood Walker and any underwriters or agents may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the Selling Stockholders or such other persons who may be effecting sales hereunder. Underwriters may sell Common Stock to or through dealers, and such dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the underwriters and/or commissions from the purchasers for whom they may act as agents. The Selling Stockholders or other persons effecting sales hereunder, any such underwriters, dealers and agents, and Legg Mason Wood Walker may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any discounts or commissions they receive and any profit on the sale of the Common Stock they realize may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. Any discounts, commissions or other compensation paid by the Selling Stockholders to underwriters, dealers or agents in connection with an underwriting offering will be described in an applicable prospectus supplement. The Selling Stockholders or other persons effecting sales hereunder may agree to indemnify Legg Mason Wood Walker and any such underwriters, dealers and agents against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. Pursuant to the acquisition agreement and an agreement entered into among the Selling Stockholders, there are certain limitations on the aggregate number of shares that can be sold hereunder during certain periods by the Selling Stockholders. For the period beginning the date of this Prospectus and ending November 1, 1998, the aggregate number of shares that can be sold by all of the Selling Stockholders is 386,123 shares, less the total number of shares of Common Stock sold by the Selling Stockholders in one or more underwritten public offerings effected pursuant to the Registration Statement or otherwise. EXPERTS The consolidated statements of financial condition as of March 31, 1997 and 1996 and the consolidated statements of earnings, cash flows, and stockholders' equity for each of the three years in the period ended March 31, 1997, and the consolidated financial statement schedules listed in Item 14(a)(1) and (2) of the 1997 Form 10-K incorporated by reference in this Prospectus from the 1997 Form 10-K, have been incorporated herein in reliance on the reports of Coopers & Lybrand L.L.P., independent accountants, given on the authority of that firm as experts in accounting and auditing. LEGAL MATTERS The validity of the shares of Common Stock offered hereby have been passed upon for the Company by Theodore S. Kaplan, Esq., the Company's General Counsel. Mr. Kaplan beneficially owns, or has rights to acquire under an employee benefit plan of the Company, less than one percent of the Common Stock of the Company. 5 PART II. INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS Item 14. Other Expenses of Issuance and Distribution. The following table sets forth the expenses estimated to be borne by the Company in connection with the offering described in this Registration Statement. All such expenses other than the Securities and Exchange Commission registration fee are estimates: Securities and Exchange Commission registration fee........................... $37,684 Accounting fees and expenses........... 1,500(a) Printing and/or reproduction............ 500(a) Miscellaneous expenses.................. 316(A) Total..................... $40,000 (a) Does not include expenses of preparing prospectus supplements and other expenses relating to offerings of particular securities.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers The Registrant's By-Laws provide for indemnification of any person who is serving or has served as a director or officer of the Registrant, against all liabilities and expenses incurred in connection with any action, suit or proceeding arising out of such service to the full extent permitted under Maryland law. Section 2-418 of the Maryland General Corporation Law establishes provisions whereby a Maryland corporation may indemnify any director or officer made a party to an action or proceeding by reason of service in that capacity, against judgments, penalties, fines, settlements and reasonable expenses incurred in connection with such action or proceeding unless it is proved that the director or officer (i) acted or failed to act in bad faith or with active and deliberate dishonesty, (ii) actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services or (iii) in the case of a criminal proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his act or omission was unlawful. However, if the proceeding is a derivative suit in favor of the corporation, indemnification may not be made if the individual is adjudged to be liable to the corporation. In no case may indemnification be made until a determination has been reached that the director or officer has met the applicable standard of conduct. Indemnification for reasonable expenses is mandatory if the director or officer has been successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any action or proceeding covered by the indemnification statute. The statute also provides for indemnification of directors and officers by court order. The indemnification provided or authorized in the indemnification statute does not preclude a corporation from extending other rights (indemnification or otherwise) to directors and officers. The Registrant's officers and directors are insured against certain liabilities under certain policies maintained by the Registrant with aggregate maximum coverage of $35,000,000. The foregoing summaries are subject to the complete text of the By-Laws, statute and policies referred to above and are qualified in their entirety by reference thereto. II-1 Item 16.

Item 17. Undertakings (a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes: (1) to file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made of the securities registered hereby, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement to (i) include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933; (ii) reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the Calculation of Registration Fee table in the effective Registration Statement; (iii) include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement; provided, however, that the undertakings set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) above do not apply if the information required with or furnished to the Commission to be included in a post-effective amendment by those clauses is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of II-2 1934 that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement; (2) that, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial BONA FIDE offering thereof; and (3) to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering. (b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference herein shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial BONA FIDE offering thereof. (c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. II-3 SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-3 and has duly caused this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Baltimore, State of Maryland, on the 5th day of June, 1998.
