(4) EARNINGS PER SHARE

      Diluted earnings per share for the three months and nine months ended
September 30, 1999 and 2000 were computed based on the adjusted weighted average
number of shares outstanding during the periods. Unallocated ESOP shares and
unvested restricted stock awards are not considered outstanding for purposes of
the computation of basic earnings per share. There is only an insignificant
difference in the number of shares used in computing basic and diluted earnings
per share and, accordingly, such per share amounts do not differ.

(5) BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION

      The community banking business segment consists of commercial and retail
banking. This segment is managed as a single strategic unit which derives its
revenues from a wide range of banking services, including investing and lending
activities and acceptance of demand, savings and time deposits, merchant credit
card services as well as servicing loans for investors. There is no major
customer, as defined, and the Bank operates within a single geographic area
(Southeastern Massachusetts).

      Non-reportable operating segments of the Company's operations which do not
have similar characteristics to the community banking operations and do not meet
the quantitative thresholds requiring disclosure, are included in the Other
category in the following disclosure of business segments. These non-reportable
segments include the Parent Company.

(6) STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAMS

      In July 1999, the Board of Directors authorized the Company to repurchase
up to 1,000,000 shares in the open market to meet the anticipated needs of stock
awards and stock options issued in connection with the 1999 Stock Incentive
Plan. In October 1999 and July 2000, the Board of Directors, with the approval
of the Commissioner of Banks, authorized the Company to repurchase in the open
market up to an additional 1,231,900 and 1,254,312 shares, respectively. The
Board of Directors delegated to the discretion of senior management the
authority to determine the timing of the repurchase programs' commencement, the
timing of the subsequent repurchases and the prices at which repurchases will be
made.

      As of November 10, 2000, the Company had repurchased 2,162,775 shares of
its common stock under these programs at a total cost of $22,580,228, all of
which shares had been repurchased as of September 30, 2000.

(7) QUARTERLY CASH DIVIDEND

      On October 23, 2000, the Company announced a quarterly cash dividend of
$.07 per share payable on November 17, 2000 to stockholders of record on
November 3, 2000.

(8) PENDING ACQUISITION

      On July 20, 2000, the Company entered into a definitive agreement with
Home Port Bancorp, Inc. (Home Port) under which the Company would acquire all of
the outstanding stock of Home Port for cash of $37 per share resulting in a
transaction value of approximately $68.5 million, exclusive of one-time
transaction costs. Home Port has agreed to omit the payment of dividends to
shareholders for the remainder of 2000.

      Home Port is the holding company for Nantucket Bank, a three branch
savings bank with total assets of approximately $340 million, located on
Nantucket Island, Massachusetts. The Company intends to keep Nantucket Bank as a
separate operating subsidiary retaining its name and charter. Accordingly, the
only cost savings initially expected from the transaction are from the
elimination of Home Port as the holding company for Nantucket Bank.

      In connection with the execution of the definitive agreement, a reciprocal
break-up fee of $3.5 million was negotiated. In addition, the Company was
granted an option to purchase up to 19.9% of Home Port's outstanding common
stock under certain circumstances.

      The transaction, which will be accounted for under the purchase method
of accounting, was approved by Home Port's shareholders on October 20,
2000 and is awaiting regulatory approval. The Company recently learned that
it might not be possible to receive final regulatory approval by the end of
December, as initially projected, and that such approval might be expected,
instead, early in the first quarter of 2001.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
        of Operations

      This Form 10-Q contains certain forward-looking statements within the
meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Actual events could differ materially from
those anticipated in the forward-looking statements. Important factors that
might cause such a difference include, among other things, general economic
conditions, particularly the real estate market, in the Company's primary market
area, potential increases in the Company's non-performing assets (as well as
increases in the allowance for loan losses that might be necessary),
concentrations of loans in a particular geographic area or with certain large
borrowers, changes in government regulation and supervision, including increased
deposit insurance premiums or capital or reserve requirements, changes in
interest rates, and increased competition and bank consolidations in the
Company's market area.

Comparison of Financial Condition at September 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999

      Total assets increased by $307.7 million from $2,122.8 million at December
31, 1999 to $2,430.5 million at September 30, 2000. During the nine months ended
September 30, 2000, Compass increased its loan portfolio by $281.4 million, or
16.1%, which was funded principally by deposit growth (primarily certificates of
deposit) of $231.4 million and, to a lesser extent, additional Federal Home Loan
Bank borrowings of $55.4 million.

      The increase in loans occurred primarily in the residential mortgage,
indirect auto and commercial loan portfolios. From December 31, 1999 to
September 30, 2000, residential mortgage loans increased by $120.8 million, or
13.5%, indirect auto loans (net of unearned discounts) increased by $88.6
million, or 21.0% and commercial loans (including commercial real estate loans)
increased by $40.1 million, or 13.8%. The growth during the nine months ended
September 30, 2000 is generally attributable to the favorable economic
conditions which prevailed during this period. The Bank has continued to retain
all residential mortgage loan originations in its portfolio and has continued to
emphasize the origination of indirect auto loans through its network of
automobile dealers which has been expanded to include dealers in communities
contiguous to the metropolitan Boston area. The increase in commercial loans
reflects the Bank's strategy to expand this portion of its loan portfolio.
Towards that end, the Bank has added four commercial lenders since November
1999.

      Total deposits at September 30, 2000 were $1,747.0 million, an increase of
$231.4 million, or 15.3%, compared to $1,515.6 million at December 31, 1999 due
largely to an increase in certificates of deposit of $173.9 million during the
period. This increase was fueled by the introduction and promotion, in February
2000, of a 7-month certificate at 6.30% and, to a lesser extent, the promotion
of 9-month and 18-month certificates of deposit during the second quarter. Core
deposit account balances increased by $57.4 million, or 7.4% during the nine
months ended September 30, 2000. The growth in core deposits during the period
was generally attributable to normal seasonal fluctuations and the promotion of
a free checking account product partially offset by the shift in funds to higher
yielding certificates of deposit. Management believes that the bank
consolidation and divestitures currently underway in the Bank's market area as a
result of the Fleet/BankBoston merger have contributed to the growth in deposits
in 2000 and continue to offer Compass an opportunity to increase its deposits.

      Total borrowed funds were $380.7 million at September 30, 2000 compared to
$314.6 million at December 31, 1999, an increase of $66.1 million, or 21.0%.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2000, Compass increased its net
borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank by $55.4 million in order to
partially fund loan growth. Management believes that it will continue to rely on
Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings during the remainder of 2000 to partially fund
anticipated loan growth and to finance its pending acquisition of Home Port
Bancorp, Inc. (Home Port).

      The increase in stockholders' equity of $9.3 million to $283.4 million at
September 30, 2000 resulted from net income of $17.5 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 2000 which was partially offset by cash dividends and stock
repurchases. During 1999 and 2000, the Company announced three stock repurchase
programs, the most recent of which was approved in July 2000, aggregating
3,486,212 shares. As of November 10, 2000, 2,162,775 shares had been repurchased
leaving up to 1,323,437 shares for repurchase. The Company has not repurchased
any of its stock since June 2000 but expects to recommence purchases of its
stock in the near future.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Quarters Ended September 30, 2000 and
1999

      Net income was $6.1 million, or $.26 per diluted share, for the quarter
ended September 30, 2000 compared to net income of $6.9 million, or $.27 per
diluted share, for the comparable period in 1999. The 1999 results include a
curtailment gain on the pending termination of the Bank's pension plan which,
after taxes, amounted to $856,000, or $.03 per share. Exclusive of this
non-recurring item, net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2000 was
unchanged while earnings per diluted share increased $.02 or 8.3%. The increase
in earnings per share despite an unchanged level of net income in 2000 reflects
the impact of the Company's stock repurchase program. The 2000 results, as
compared to 1999, include an increase of $1.3 million, or 6.9%, in net interest
income, an increase of $600,000 in the provision for loan losses, an increase of
$680,000, or 30.2%, in non-interest income (exclusive of the non-recurring gain
of $1.5 million on termination of the pension plan) and an increase of $1.5
million, or 13.0%, in non-interest expense. The Company's effective tax rate
decreased to 34.3% in 2000 from 35.8% in the comparable 1999 period.

      Interest Income. Interest income for the quarter ended September 30, 2000
was $43.3 million compared to $35.1 million for the quarter ended September 30,
1999, an increase of $8.2 million, or 23.2%. The increase in interest income
resulted from growth in average interest-earning assets of $331.2 million, or
17.1%, and an increase in the yield on interest-earning assets of 37 basis
points in the 2000 period. The increase in the yield on interest-earning assets,
as compared to the same period in the prior year, reflects the series of rate
increases initiated by the Federal Reserve Board beginning in June 1999. The
principal areas of growth in average balances were related to real estate loans
(up $206.9 million, or 17.9%) and indirect auto loans (up $107.2 million, or
27.6%). Most of the real estate loan growth resulted from origination and
retention in portfolio of one-to-four family residential real estate loans. The
increase in indirect auto loans resulted from the positive economic environment
within Compass's local markets and the continued emphasis of this area of
lending as previously noted.

      Interest Expense. Interest expense for the quarter ended September 30,
2000 was $22.9 million compared to $16.1 million for the quarter ended September
30, 1999, an increase of $6.8 million or 42.6%. This increase resulted from a 72
basis point increase in the cost of all funds from 4.00% in 1999 to 4.72% in
2000, and a higher average balance of interest-bearing liabilities (up $332.8
million, or 20.6%). Average interest-bearing deposit balances increased $153.6
million, or 10.9%, during the quarter ended September 30, 2000 compared to the
same period in 1999.

      Interest expense on borrowed funds increased $3.2 million in the quarter
ended September 30, 2000 to $6.0 million due to a $179.2 million increase in the
average balance of such funds and a 66 basis point increase in the average rate
paid on borrowed funds to 6.33% in the 2000 period.

      The increase in the cost of funds on interest-bearing liabilities, as
compared to the same period in the prior year, reflects the series of rate
increases initiated by the Federal Reserve Board beginning in June 1999.

      Provision for Loan Losses. Compass provides for loan losses in order to
maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level that management estimates is
appropriate to absorb future chargeoffs of loans deemed uncollectible. In
determining the appropriate level of the allowance for loan losses, management
considers past and anticipated loss experience, evaluations of real estate
collateral, current and anticipated economic conditions, volume and type of
lending and the levels of nonperforming and other classified loans. The amount
of the allowance is based on estimates and ultimate losses may vary from such
estimates. Management assesses the allowance for loan losses on a quarterly
basis and provides for loan losses monthly in order to maintain the adequacy of
the allowance.

      Compass provided $1.25 million for loan losses in the quarter ended
September 30, 2000 compared to $650,000 in the quarter ended September 30, 1999.
The increase of $600,000 in 2000 was primarily attributable to the growth in the
loan portfolio as all indicators of credit quality generally continue to be
positive. The allowance for loan losses was $19.4 million, or .96% of loans at
September 30, 2000 compared with $16.8 million, or .96% of loans, at December
31, 1999.

      Non-Interest Income. Total non-interest income was $2.9 million for the
quarter ended September 30, 2000 compared to $2.2 million (exclusive of the
non-recurring gain of $1.5 million on termination of the pension plan) in the
same period of 1999, an increase of $680,000 or 30.2%. This growth was
principally caused by increases in ATM/Debit card usage, checking account
related fees and a non-recurring gain on the disposition of banking premises and
equipment of $250,000.


                                       11
<PAGE>

      Non-Interest Expense. Non-interest expense increased by $1.5 million, or
13.0%, from $11.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 1999 to $12.8
million for the quarter ended September 30, 2000. Of this increase, $759,000
related to salaries and employee benefits, $439,000 related to occupancy and
equipment expenses, $215,000 related to data processing expenses and $236,000
related to marketing expenses. Such increases were partially offset by an
aggregate decrease of $184,000 in other categories of non-interest expense. Such
decrease was primarily attributable to certain non-recurring items associated
with the merger with Sandwich Bank.

      Of the increase of $759,000 in salaries and employee benefits for the
quarter ended September 30, 2000, approximately $400,000 related to increases in
the number of employees and annual wage adjustments. In addition,
employee-related insurance costs increased $125,000, management incentive plan
expense increased $150,000, restricted stock plan expense increased $94,000 and
the cost of a new sales incentive program for branch personnel amounted to
$50,000. These increases were partially offset by a net savings of $56,000 due
to changes made in September 1999 to the Bank's employee retirement plans.

      Occupancy and equipment expenses increased $439,000, or 30.7% to $1.9
million for the quarter ended September 30, 2000. This increase was primarily
due to an increase in depreciation and utility costs of $250,000 attributable to
the opening of the new main banking office and corporate offices in July 2000 as
well as non-recurring moving costs of $125,000 associated with this relocation.
The opening of new branches in Seekonk and Mattapoisett during the third quarter
also contributed to this increase.

      Data processing expenses increased $215,000, or 19.7%, to $1.3 million for
the quarter ended September 30, 2000. This increase was substantially driven by
volume-related factors such as the number of new loan and deposit accounts and
ATM usage.

      Marketing expenses increased $236,000, or 36.0%, to $892,000 for the
quarter ended September 30, 2000. Such increase was attributable to various
initiatives promoting the grand opening of the Bank's new main banking office
and corporate offices as well as customer acquisition programs targeted at
individuals and businesses affected by the branch divestitures required by the
Fleet/Bank Boston merger.

      Income Taxes. The effective tax rate for the quarter ended September 30,
2000 was 34.3% compared to 35.8% in the same period in 1999. This decrease in
overall tax rate is primarily due to the greater utilization of non-bank
subsidiaries that are taxed at lower rates for state tax purposes and an
increase in tax-favored investment income in 2000.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2000 and
1999

      Net income was $17.5 million, or $.74 per diluted share, for the nine
months ended September 30, 2000 compared to net income of $18.4 million, or $.72
per diluted share, for the comparable period in 1999. The 1999 results include a
curtailment gain on the pending termination of the Bank's pension plan which,
after taxes, amounted to $856,000, or $.03 per share. Exclusive of this
non-recurring item, net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 was
unchanged, while earnings per diluted share increased by $.05, or 7.2%. The
increase in earnings per share despite an unchanged level of net income in 2000
reflects the impact of the Company's stock repurchase program. The 2000 results,
as compared to 1999, include an increase of $4.1 million, or 7.4%, in net
interest income, an increase of $2.3 million in the provision for loan losses,
an increase of $1.2 million, or 18.8%, in non-interest income (exclusive of the
non-recurring gain of $1.5 million on termination of the pension plan) and an
increase of $3.1 million, or 9.4%, in non-interest expense. The Company's
effective tax rate decreased to 35.1% in 2000 from 35.7% in 1999.

      Interest Income. Interest income for the nine months ended September 30,
2000 was $120.9 million compared to $101.4 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999, an increase of $19.5 million, or 19.2%. The increase in
interest income resulted from growth in average interest-earning assets of
$296.6 million, or 15.9%, and an increase in the overall yield on
interest-earning assets of 21 basis points in the 2000 period. The increase in
the yield on interest-earning assets, as compared to the same period in the
prior year, reflects the series of rate increases initiated by the Federal
Reserve Board beginning in June 1999. The principal areas of growth in average
balances were related to real estate loans (up $205.4 million, or 18.7%) and
indirect auto loans (up $105.9 million, or 29.5%). Most of the real estate loan
growth resulted from origination and retention in the portfolio of one-to-four
family


                                       12
<PAGE>

residential real estate loans. The increase in indirect auto loans resulted from
the positive economic environment within Compass's local markets and the
continued emphasis of this area of lending.

      Interest Expense. Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30,
2000 was $61.7 million compared to $46.4 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999, an increase of $15.3 million or 33.0%. This increase
resulted from a 44 basis point increase in the cost of all funds from 4.02% in
1999 to 4.46% in 2000, and a higher average balance of interest-bearing
liabilities (up $304.5 million, or 19.7%). Average interest-bearing deposit
balances increased $102.4 million, or 7.4%, during the nine months ended
September 30, 2000 compared to the same period in 1999.

      Interest expense on borrowed funds increased $9.6 million in the nine
months ended September 30, 2000 to $16.1 million due to a $202.1 million
increase in the average balance of such funds, and a 36 basis point increase in
the average rate paid on borrowed funds to 6.06% in the 2000 period.

      The increase in the cost of funds on interest-bearing liabilities, as
compared to the same period in the prior year, reflects the series of rate
increases initiated by the Federal Reserve Board beginning in June 1999.

      Provision for Loan Losses. Compass provided $3.5 million for loan losses
in the nine months ended September 30, 2000 compared to $1.2 million in the
comparable prior year period. The increase of $2.3 million in 2000 was primarily
attributable to the growth in the loan portfolio as all indicators of credit
quality generally continue to be positive.

      Non-Interest Income. Total non-interest income was $7.4 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 2000 compared to $6.2 million (exclusive of the
non-recurring gain of $1.5 million on termination of the pension plan) in the
same period of 1999, an increase of $1.2 million, or 18.8%. This increase was
principally caused by increases in loan fees, ATM/Debit card usage, checking
account related fees as well as non-recurring income ($320,000) attributable to
both the sale of banking premises and equipment and an insurance settlement.
Such increases more than offset a decrease of $223,000 in gains on sales of
investment securities and loans.

      Non-Interest Expense. Non-interest expense increased by $3.1 million, or
9.4%, from $33.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 to $36.1
million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000. This increase was entirely
attributable to a $3.1 million increase to salaries and employee benefits, which
totaled $19.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000. All other
categories of non-interest expense were unchanged in the aggregate.

      Of the increase of $3.1 million in salaries and employee benefits for the
nine months ended September 30, 2000, approximately $1.5 million was due to
increases in the number of employees and annual wage adjustments while $731,000
was attributable to the restricted stock awarded in July 1999. Also, employment
taxes increased $221,000, employee-related insurance costs increased $248,000
and the cost of a new sales incentive program for branch personnel amounted to
$164,000. In addition, the amount accrued in connection with Compass's
management incentive plan increased $500,000 in 2000 principally due to reduced
expense in the first quarter of 1999 resulting from the utilization of amounts
accrued but not paid during the two month transition period ended December 31,
1998. These increases were partially offset by a net savings of $235,000 due to
changes made in September 1999 to the Bank's employee retirement plans.

      Occupancy and equipment expense increased $351,000, or 8.0%, to $4.7
million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000. This increase was
primarily due to an increase in depreciation and utility costs of $200,000
attributable to the opening of the new main banking office and corporate offices
as well as non-recurring moving and storage costs of $170,000 associated with
this relocation.

      Data processing expenses increased $292,000, or 8.7%, to $3.6 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 2000. This increase was caused by
volume-related factors such as the number of new loan and deposit accounts and
ATM usage.


                                       13
<PAGE>

      Marketing expenses increased $358,000, or 20.2%, to $2.1 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 2000. Such increase was attributable to
various initiatives promoting the grand opening of the Bank's new main
banking office and corporate offices during the third quarter as well as
customer acquisition programs utilized throughout the year targeted at
individuals and businesses affected by the branch divestitures required by
the Fleet/Bank Boston merger.

   Other categories of non-interest expense decreased by $1.0 million in the
nine months ended September 30, 2000. This decrease is primarily attributable to
certain non-recurring items associated with the merger with Sandwich Bank.

      Income Taxes. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September
30, 2000 decreased to 35.1% in 2000 from 35.7% in 1999. The overall tax rate was
favorably affected by the greater utilization of non-bank subsidiaries that are
taxed at lower rates for state tax purposes and an increase in tax-favored
investment income which were partially offset by the non-deductible portion of
expense associated with the vesting of restricted stock awards in 2000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

      Compass's liquidity, represented by cash and cash equivalents and debt
securities is a product of its operating, investing and financing activities.
The Bank's primary sources of funds are deposits, borrowings, principal and
interest payments on outstanding loans and mortgage-backed securities,
maturities of investment securities and funds provided from operations. While
scheduled payments from the amortization of loans and mortgage related
securities and maturing investment securities are relatively predictable sources
of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by general
interest rates and, in the case of deposits, other financial instruments
available to the public such as mutual funds and annuities.

      As a voluntary member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston (FHLB),
Compass is entitled to borrow an amount up to the value of its qualified
collateral that has not been pledged to others. Qualified collateral
generally consists of residential first mortgage loans, U.S. Government and
Agency securities and funds on deposit at the FHLB. At September 30, 2000,
Compass had approximately $436 million in unused borrowing capacity that is
contingent upon the purchase of additional FHLB stock. Use of this borrowing
capacity may also be impacted by regulatory capital requirements.

      Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term function of business
management. The measure of a bank's liquidity is its ability to meet its cash
commitments at all times with available funds, by the conversion of other assets
to cash at a reasonable price and by its ability to borrow under existing
arrangements. At September 30, 2000, the Company maintained cash and due from
banks, short-term investments and debt securities maturing within one year of
$101.6 million, or 4.18% of total assets.

      At September 30, 2000, Compass had commitments to originate loans, unused
outstanding lines of credit, standby letters of credit and undisbursed proceeds
of loans totaling $203.0 million. Management believes that it will have
sufficient funds available to meet its current loan commitments. Certificates of
deposit maturing within one year from September 30, 2000 amounted to $715.3
million. Management expects that a significant portion of maturing certificate
accounts will be retained at maturity, although the percentage retained may be
below historical levels due to increased price competition for these deposits.

      Compass's Tier 1 capital measured 13.99% of risk-weighted assets at
September 30, 2000. Total capital, including the Tier 2 allowance for loan
losses, was 15.17% of risk-weighted assets. The leverage ratio was 9.92%. These
ratios placed Compass in the "well capitalized" category according to regulatory
standards.

      The Company's Tier 1 capital measured 16.69% of risk-weighted assets at
September 30, 2000. Total capital, including the Tier 2 allowance for loan
losses, was 17.89% of risk-weighted assets. The leverage ratio was 11.81%. These
ratios placed the Company in excess of regulatory standards set forth by the
Federal Reserve Board.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

      The chief market risk factor affecting the financial condition and
operating results of Compass is interest rate risk. This risk is managed by
periodic evaluation of the interest rate risk inherent in certain balance sheet
accounts, determination of the level of risk considered appropriate given
Compass's capital and liquidity requirements, business strategy, performance
objectives and operating environment and maintenance of such risks within
guidelines approved by the Board of Directors. Through such management, Compass
seeks to reduce the vulnerability of its net earnings to changes in interest
rates. Compass's Asset/Liability Committee, comprised of senior management, is
responsible for managing interest rate risk and reviewing with the Board of
Directors on a quarterly basis its activities and strategies, the effect of
those strategies on Compass's and the Company's operating results, Compass's
interest rate risk position and the effect changes in interest rates would have
on Compass's net interest income. The extent of movement of interest rates is an
uncertainty that could have a negative impact on the earnings of the Company.

       The principal strategies Compass generally uses to manage interest rate
risk include (i) emphasizing the origination and retention of adjustable-rate
loans, origination of indirect auto loans which have relatively short maturities
and origination of loans with maturities at least partly matched with those of
the deposits and borrowings funding the loans, (ii) investing in debt securities
with relatively short maturities and (iii) classifying a significant portion of
its investment portfolio as available for sale so as to provide sufficient
flexibility in liquidity management.

      The Company quantifies its interest rate risk exposure using a
sophisticated simulation model. Simulation analysis is used to measure the
exposure of net interest income and net income to changes in interest rates over
a specified time horizon. Simulation analysis involves projecting future income
and expense under various rate scenarios. Compass's internal guidelines on
interest rate risk specify that for every 100 basis points immediate shift in
interest rates, its estimated net interest income over the next 12 months should
decline by less than 5%.

      In utilizing a 300 basis point increase in rates in its simulation model,
the full impact of annual rate caps of 200 basis points common to most
adjustable rate mortgage loan products is considered. The rate shocks used
assume an instantaneous and parallel change in interest rates. Prepayment speeds
for loans are based on published median dealer forecasts for each interest rate
scenario.

      As of September 30, 2000, the Company's estimated exposure as a percentage
of estimated net interest income for the next twelve and twenty-four month
periods is as follows:

                                                 Percentage Change in Estimated
                                                    Net Interest Income Over:
                                                      12 months   24 months
                                                      ---------   ---------
300 basis point increase in rates ...............     (15.15%)    (15.83%)

200 basis point decrease in rates ...............      (0.21%)     (4.79%)

   At September 30, 2000, the Company exceeded its internal guidelines for
interest rate, risk as set forth above, by an insignificant amount. This
represents an improvement from the forecast at June 30, 2000 for the scenarios
based on an increase in rates. This improvement occurred as a result of a recent
decline in short-term rates. Management believes that it is advantageous to
continue to utilize shorter term funding sources in the current rate environment
and, along with its professional advisors, will continue to monitor the trend in
short-term and long-term interest rates and the related impact which changes in
rates may have on net interest income.

      Based on the scenario above, net income would be adversely affected in
both the twelve and twenty-four month periods. For each one percentage point
change in net interest income, the effect on net income would be $541,000,
assuming a 36% effective tax rate.
