I.

   An Order Instituting Public Administrative and Cease-and-Desist
   Proceedings against Harvest Financial Corporation, Frank D. Ruscetti
   and Robert A. Papariella ("OIP") was issued by the Securities and
   Exchange Commission ("Commission") on March 25, 2002. In these
   proceedings instituted pursuant to Sections 15(b) and 21C of the
   Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act"), Respondent Frank D.
   Ruscetti ("Ruscetti") has submitted an Offer of Settlement which the
   Commission has determined to accept. Further, the Commission now deems
   it appropriate to issue an Amended Order Instituting Cease-and-Desist
   Proceeding Pursuant to Section 21C of the Exchange Act ("Amended
   Order") against Harvest Financial Corporation ("Harvest"). The
   cease-and-desist proceeding being instituted against Harvest in the
   Amended Order is in addition to the pending administrative proceeding
   instituted against Harvest in the OIP. In anticipation of the issuance
   of the Amended Order, Harvest has submitted an Offer of Settlement,
   which the Commission has determined to accept.

   Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that a proceeding pursuant to Section 21C
   of the Exchange Act be, and hereby is, instituted against Harvest.
