SLADE'S FERRY BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY, SLADE'S FERRY TRUST COMPANY
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

June 30, 2000

Note A - Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and, accordingly, do not include
all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of the management of Slade's Ferry Bancorp, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered
necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2000.

Note B - Accounting Policies

The accounting principles followed by Slade's Ferry Bancorp and subsidiary and the methods of applying these principles which materially affect the determination of financial position, results of operations, or changes in financial position
are consistent with those used at year end 1999.

The consolidated financial statements of Slade's Ferry Bancorp include its wholly-owned subsidiary, Slade's Ferry Trust Company, and its subsidiaries, Slade's Ferry Realty Trust, Slade's Ferry Securities Corporation, Slade's Ferry Preferred Capital
Corporation, and Slade's Ferry Loan Company. All significant intercompany balances have been eliminated.

Note C - Impact of New Accounting Standard

In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities". Statement No. 133, as amended by SFAS No. 138, establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including
certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and for hedging activities. The Statement is effective for all fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. In management's opinion, SFAS No. 133 when adopted, will not have a
material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 2

Management's Discussion and Analysis

Financial Condition

At June 30, 2000 the Company had total assets of $376.1 Million compared to $358.1 Million reported as of December 31, 1999. This increase is predominately attributed to an increase in deposit levels of $12.2 Million during the first six
months of 2000. With this increased source of funds, net loans increased by $3.9 Million, excess liquidity temporarily invested in Federal Funds increased by $4.5 Million, and the Bank purchased $4.9 Million of single premium paid-up life insurance
policies for its President and Vice Presidents. The combined investment portfolio increased by $4.9 Million, which originated through a borrowing transaction of $5.0 Million with the Federal Home Loan Bank.

Loan demand continued to be prominent in the region particularly in the small business sector. A favorable economy and an active business development program attributed to the loan growth.

Deposits increased by $12.2 Million at June 30, 2000 to $328.6 Million when compared to $316.4 Million reported at year end 1999. Growth in deposits was due to general business conditions in addition to an increase in Municipal deposits due to real
estate tax collections. The two branches opened in early 1999 continued to generate new deposit account activity, and the Bank also continued to offer competitive interest rates on certificate of deposit accounts to attract new deposits as well as retain
existing accounts.

In April 2000, the Bank purchased $4.9 Million of single premium paid-up life insurance policies on the lives of its President and Vice Presidents. The Bank is the owner of the policies and will carry the cash surrender value of the policies as an
asset and record the monthly increases in cash value as income. This "Bank Owned Life Insurance" (BOLI) will provide a split dollar death benefit for the executives and the Bank.

The investment portfolio represents the second largest component of the Company's assets and consists of securities in the Available for Sale category and securities in the Held to Maturity category. The designation of which category the security is
to be classified as is determined at the time of the purchase of the investment instrument.

The Held to Maturity category consists predominately of securities of U.S. Treasury, U.S. Government corporation and agencies, and securities issued by states of the United States and political subdivisions of states. The Company has the positive
intent and ability to hold these securities to maturity. In managing the Held to Maturity portfolio, the Company seeks to maximize its return and maintain consistency to meet short and long term liquidity forecasts by purchasing securities with maturities
laddered within a short-term period of 1-3 years, a mid-term period of 3-5 years, and some securities extending out to 10 years. The Company does not purchase investments with off-balance sheet characteristics, such as swaps, options, futures, and other
hedging activities that are called derivatives. The main objective of the investment policy is to provide adequate liquidity to meet reasonable declines in deposits and any anticipated increases in the loan portfolio, to provide safety of principal and
interest, to generate earnings adequate to provide a stable income and to fit within the overall asset/liability management objectives of the Company.

At June 30, 2000, securities classified as Available for Sale had net unrealized losses of $1,343,438, net of tax, as a result of current market conditions and the recent increases in the prime rate. Besides the utilization of the sale of these
securities to meet loan demand, they may also be sold from time to time to improve interest rate risk by reinvesting the proceeds from their sales into higher yielding investments. Management, through the Asset-Liability Committee (ALCO), constantly
manages interest rate risk to minimize any exposure to rising or decreasing interest rates. Despite current market conditions, investment securities, when held to maturity, will mature at par value.

Investment Securities are securities that the Company will hold to maturity and are carried at amortized cost on the balance sheet, and are summarized as follows as of June 30, 2000.

Securities in the Available for Sale category are securities that the Company intends to hold for an indefinite period of time, but not necessarily to maturity. These securities may be sold in response to interest rate changes, liquidity needs or
other factors. Any unrealized gains or losses, net of taxes, are reflected in Stockholders' Equity as a separate component.

Investments in Available for Sale securities are carried at fair value on the balance sheet and are summarized as follows as of June 30, 2000.

The $2.9 Million in nonaccrual loans consists of $1.1 Million of real estate mortgages and $1.8 Million attributed to commercial loans. Of the total nonaccrual loans outstanding, there are no loans restructured at June 30, 2000.

The Company's nonperforming assets which consist of nonaccrual loans, loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing, and real estate acquired by foreclosure or substantively repossessed, increased by $0.6 Million to $3.0 Million at June 30, 2000
from $2.4 Million reported on December 31, 1999. Nonaccrual loans, which is the largest component of nonperforming assets, were up by $1.2 Million compared to year end 1999. The increase was a combination of loans totaling $1.8 Million that became
nonaccrual during the last six months offset by $0.5 Million of payments on previously classified nonaccrual loans, and $0.1 Million of loans charged off. Included in the $1.8 Million of new nonaccrual loans is one commercial loan for $1.3 Million. The
collateral securing this loan currently has a substantially greater value than the outstanding loan balance. Loans past due 90 days or more but still accruing decreased by $207,000 during this six month period.

There was no real estate acquired through foreclosure or substantively repossessed at June 30, 2000 compared to $353,095 at December 31, 1999.

The percentage of nonaccrual loans to total loans increased from 0.73% reported at year end 1999 to 1.19% at June 30, 2000.

The Company stops accruing interest on a loan once it becomes past due 90 days or more unless there is adequate collateral and the financial condition of the borrower is sufficient. When a loan is placed on a nonaccrual status, all previously accrued
but unpaid interest is reversed and charged against current income. Interest is thereafter recognized only when payments are received and the loan becomes current.

Loans in the nonaccrual category will remain until the possibility of collection no longer exists, the loan is paid off or becomes current. When a loan is determined to be uncollectible, it is then charged off against the Allowance for Loan Losses.

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 114 "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan" applies to all loans except large groups of smaller-balance homogeneous loans that are collectively evaluated for impairment, loans measured at fair
value or at a lower of cost or fair value, leases, and debt securities as defined in Statement 115. Statement 114 requires that impaired loans be valued at the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate or
as a practical expedient, at the loan's observable market value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. Smaller balance homogeneous loans are considered by the Company to include consumer installment loans and credit card loans.

Included in the $2,931,810 of nonaccrual loans are $2,845,849 which the Company has determined to be impaired, for which $527,285 have a related allowance for credit losses of $301,410 and $2,318,564 have no related allowance for credit losses.
Management is not aware of any other loans that pose a potential credit risk or where the loans are current but the borrowers are experiencing financial difficulty.

There were no other loans classified for regulatory purposes at June 30, 2000 that management reasonably expects will materially impact future operating results, liquidity or capital resources.

The Allowance for Loan Losses at June 30, 2000 was $4,820,656, compared to $3,765,872 at year end 1999. The Allowance for Loan Losses as a percentage of outstanding loans increased by 0.39% during the six month period to 1.95% from 1.56% reported at
year end 1999.The Bank provided $550,000 in 1999, $600,000 in 1998, and $1,050,000 as of June 30, 2000 to the Allowance for Loan Losses. Loans charged off were $402,000 in 1999, $792,000 in 1998, and $142,000 as of June 30, 2000. Recoveries on loans
previously charged off were $49,000 in 1999, $67,000 in 1998 and $147,000 as of June 30, 2000. During the second quarter of 2000, management recognized an increase in loss potential due to increased credit risk on our commercial real estate loans. This
increase risk is primarily due to a rising interest rate environment, putting pressure on cash flows of our commercial borrowers. Due to this added risk and an increase in the demand for these types of loans, management reviewed and changed the
methodology and guidelines used to analyze the adequacy of loan loss reserves. After recalculating the adequate level of reserves using these new guidelines, management elected to provide an additional $750,000 to the reserve in the second quarter to
provide an appropriate level to sufficiently absorb any unanticipated loan losses. The level of the Allowance for Loan Losses is evaluated by management and encompasses several factors, which include but are not limited to, recent trends in the
nonperforming loans, the adequacy of the assets which collateralize the nonperforming loans, current economic conditions in the market area, and various other external and internal factors.

This table shows an allocation of the Allowance for Loan Losses as of the end of each of the periods indicated.

for Impairment of Loans.  

The loan portfolio's largest segment of loans is commercial real estate loans, which represents 58.8% of gross loans. Residential real estate represents 15.1% of gross loans. The Company requires a loan to value ratio of 80% in both commercial and
residential mortgages. These mortgages are secured by real properties, which have a readily ascertainable appraised value.

Generally, commercial real estate loans have a higher degree of credit risk than residential real estate loans because they depend primarily on the success of the business. When granting these loans, the Company evaluates the financial statements of
the borrower(s), the location of the real estate, the quality of management, and general economic and competitive conditions. When granting a residential mortgage, the Company reviews the borrower(s)' repayment history on past debts, and assesses the
borrower(s)' ability to meet existing obligations and payments on the proposed loans.

Commercial loans consist of loans predominantly collateralized by inventory, furniture and fixtures, and accounts receivable. In assessing the collateral for this type of loan, management applies a 40% liquidation value to inventories, 25% to
furniture, fixtures and equipment; and 60% to accounts receivable. Commercial loans represent 19.7% of the loan portfolio.

Consumer loans are generally unsecured credits and represent 4.6% of the total loan portfolio. These loans have a higher degree of risk than residential mortgage loans. The underlying collateral of a secured consumer loan tends to depreciate in value.
Consumer loans are typically made based on the borrower's ability to repay the loan through continued financial stability. The Company endeavors to minimize risk by reviewing the borrower's repayment history on past debts, and assessing the borrower's
ability to meet existing obligations on the proposed loans.

The allocation of the Allowance for Loan Losses is based on management's judgement of potential losses in the respective portfolios. While management has allocated reserves to various portfolio segments, the Allowance is general in nature and is
available for the portfolio in its entirety.

Results of Operations

The largest source of the Company's earnings is net interest and dividend income, which is the difference between interest income earned on loans and investments and interest expense paid on deposits and borrowed funds. Net interest and
dividend income for the six months ending June 30, 2000 increased by $553,747 to $7,519,061 when compared to $6,965,314 recorded during the same period in 1999. Total interest and dividend income increased by $1,289,895 due to a larger loan base,
expansion of the investment portfolio, and higher interest yields earned as a result of the Federal Reserve Bank's decision to increase short-term rates in an attempt to tighten credit, slow down the economy and control inflationary pressures. This was
offset by an increase in interest expense of $736,148 as a result of higher deposit levels being serviced during the last six month period compared to the same period in the previous year, along with an increase in borrowings from the Federal Home Loan
Bank, and higher interest rates paid on time deposits.

The Provision for Loan Losses is a charge against earnings and funds the Allowance for Loan Losses. It is management's desire to maintain an appropriate ratio of the Allowance for Loan Losses to total outstanding loans. The Bank's provision during the
six month period ending June 30, 2000 was $1,050,000, an increase of $750,000 from the same period in the previous year. This increase in the second quarter of 2000 is attributed to management's decision to change the methodology and guidelines used in
calculating the adequate level of loan loss reserves for our loan portfolio. Increasing credit risk due to a higher commercial real estate loan portfolio and a rising interest rate environment is responsible for the review and change in the methodology
and guidelines. This additional provision will provide an appropriate level of loan loss reserve to adequately absorb any unanticipated losses from our loan portfolio.

Total Other Income decreased by $358,377 for the first six months of 2000 when compared to the same period in 1999. Service charges on deposit accounts decreased by $47,034 primarily due to a decrease in fees earned on overdraft accounts and a lower
amount of service charges being realized on demand deposit accounts as a result of higher levels of compensating balances carried in the business checking account category.

The Bank realized losses on the sale of securities of $4,757 during the first six months of 2000 compared to gains of $492,189 realized in the same period in the prior year. The net loss in 2000 was a combination of losses totaling $94,866 incurred
from the sale of various low yielding investment securities offset by gains of $90,109 realized on the sale of marketable equity securities. During the first six months of 1999, management sold certain selected corporate equities due to favorable market
conditions. Corporate equity securities are monitored and evaluated to determine their suitability for sale or retention in the portfolio on a regular basis.

The line item Other Income increased by $185,603 and includes recognition of an increase in the cash surrender value of life insurance policies associated with both the Directors' Life Insurance and the Executive Officers' Life Insurance Programs
totaling $51,489 and $42,480 respectively, $59,000 of prior years expense accrual that did not materialize, and other miscellaneous income earned due to general business conditions.

Total Other Expense for the first six months in 2000 was up by $156,174 to $5,042,959 when compared to $4,886,785 recorded during the same period in 1999. Salaries and employee benefits, which is the largest component of Other Expense, increased by
$282,706 which is attributed to staff additions, salary adjustments and general wage increases. Occupancy and equipment expense combined increased slightly by $32,126. The Bank incurred gains totaling $49,758 on sales of real estate acquired through
foreclosure compared to losses of $28,030 realized during the same period in the previous year. Also, as of June 30, 2000 there were no expenses associated with the writedown of other real estate owned (OREO) to reflect current fair market values of
properties. During the same period in the prior year $57,024 was expensed.

The following table sets forth the components of the line item Other Expense. This table reflects a decrease of $93,710 to $672,942 from $766,652 for the three month period ending June 30, 2000 and a decrease of $23,846 to $1,350,999 from $1,374,845
for the six month period ending June 30, 2000 when compared to June 30, 1999.

Advertising and Public Relations expense decreased by $19,564 for six months ending June 30, 2000 when compared to 1999 primarily due to expenses incurred during the same period of the previous year for promoting the openings of the two new branch
locations in early 1999. Stationery and Supplies slightly increased by $2,473 due to normal business activity. Communication expense decreased due to one-time expenses incurred in 1999 for the installation of the aforementioned new branches and our new
telephone system at the main office. Professional Fees and Other Services increased by $85,226 during the six month period ending June 30, 2000 when compared to the same period in 1999. This increase is partially due to a final $50,000 cost associated
with the administration of the Real Estate Investment Trust, providing the Company with certain State tax savings strategies, an additional $7,500 expense for the new audit requirement pertaining to the quarterly filing of Form 10-Q to the United States
Securities and Exchange Commission, and approximately $33,000 in loan collection and repossession expense increases. Other Real Estate Owned decreased substantially by $96,390 due to expenditures in 1999 associated with the acquisition and maintenance of
real estate acquired by foreclosure. As of June 30, 2000, all previous OREO properties have been sold. Other Miscellaneous Expenses increased by $11,260 primarily attributed to $6,000 in one-time start up costs associated with our ATM processing
conversion from outside vendor to in-house.

Income before income taxes, totaled $2,198,210 at June 30, 2000, down by $710,804 when compared to $2,909,014 reported on June 30, 1999. Applicable taxes decreased by $435,932 to $678,367 when compared to $1,114,299 reported in the prior year. The
decrease is due to reduced State income tax initiated by the establishment of a real estate investment trust in July 1999 and the decrease in income before income taxes as a result of the loan loss provision.

Net income of $1,519,843 reflects a decrease of 15.3% when compared to earnings of $1,794,715 reported at June 30, 1999. Diluted earnings per share were $0.41 for six months ending June 30, 2000 compared to $0.49 for the same period in 1999.

The results of operation for the second quarter in 2000 indicates that the net interest and dividend income was up by $199,506 to $3,798,969 from $3,599,463 earned during the same period in the previous year. This is a result of the continued growth
in the loan portfolio, maintenance of a stable net interest margin, and investment portfolio expansion. The Provision for Loan Losses increased by $750,000 to $900,000 compared to $150,000 for the same three month period in the previous year. This
increase is due to the change in loan loss reserve methodology previously mentioned. Total Other Income decreased by $147,523 primarily due to no recognition of security gains during the second quarter of 2000. Due to favorable market conditions during
the same quarter in 1999, equity securities were sold realizing a gain of $200,623. The line item Other Income increased by $72,106 due to recognition of increased cash surrender value in life insurance associated with both the Directors' Life Insurance
Program and Executive Officers' Life Insurance Program. Services charges on deposit accounts decreased slightly by $19,006.

Total Other Expense increased by $91,221. Salaries and benefits increased by $231,565 which includes increases due to staff additions, salary adjustments, and general wage increases due to performance evaluations. Also in 1999, a FASB 87 adjustment of
$121,304 to the Defined Benefit Retirement Plan decreased the benefit expense during the second quarter of 1999. Occupancy and equipment expense combined increased by $18,055 predominately attributed to the depreciation of the two new branch facilities
opened in early 1999. In the second quarter of 1999 a loss of $7,665 was incurred on the sale of other real estate owned and $57,024 was attributed to the writedown of other real estate owned. During the same period of this year, the Bank did not incur
any expense associated with the writedown or sale of other real estate owned.

Variances in Advertising and Public Relations of $9,766 were attributed to direct residential flyer mailing advertising in the Greater New Bedford market area during the second quarter of 2000. A decrease of $10,694 in stationery and supplies expense
was due to the additional cost in 1999 to set up the new branch location in New Bedford. Communications also decreased slightly by $2,581. Professional fees increased by $24,971 due to an increase in collection and repossession cost and audit fees related
to the review of the Form 10-Q. Expenses associated with the acquisition and maintenance of real estate acquired by foreclosure totaled $110,390 during the second quarter of 1999; no similar expenses were recorded in the same quarter of 2000. Other
Miscellaneous Expense decreased slightly by $4,782 due to normal business activity.

Income before taxes for the second quarter in 2000 decreased by $789,238 to $711,795 from $1,501,033 reported for the same period in the prior year. Applicable taxes also decreased by $378,808 to $199,952 when compared to $578,760 reported in the
second quarter in 1999. This decrease was due to lower quarterly earnings, and the reduced State income tax initiated by the formation of the Real Estate Investment Trust in mid-1999.

The net income for the three month period ending June 30, 2000 was $511,843, or a decrease of 44.5%, when compared to $922,273 earned in the second quarter in 1999. Diluted earnings per share were $0.14 compared to $0.25 per share for the same period
in 1999.

Liquidity

The Company's principal sources of funds are customer deposits, loan amortization, loan payoffs, and the maturities of investment securities. Through these sources, funds are provided for customer withdrawals from their deposit accounts, loan
originations, drawdowns on loan commitments, acquisition of investment securities and other normal business activities. Investors' capital also provides a source of funding.

The largest source of funds is provided by depositors. The largest component of the Company's deposit base is reflected in the Time Deposit category. The Company does not participate in brokered deposits. Deposits are obtained from consumers and
commercial customers within the Bank's community reinvestment area, being Bristol County, Massachusetts and several abutting towns in Rhode Island.

The Company also has the capability to borrow funds to meet short-term liquidity needs from correspondent banks, the Federal Home Loan Bank, and the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston by pledging qualified investment securities as collateral. During the
first six months of 2000, the Bank did not borrow any short-term funds to meet current liquidity needs. However, in January 2000, the Bank borrowed $5.0 Million from the Federal Home Loan Bank for the specific purpose of purchasing a $5.0 Million high
quality mortgage-backed security in order to further enhance interest earnings. During the first six months of 1999, the Company borrowed for three days an average of $2.3 Million. In addition to the $4.9 Million increase in borrowed funds from the
Federal Home Loan Bank as of June 30, 2000, the Bank had outstanding advances totaling $6.7 Million from the Federal Home Loan Bank representing the match funding loan program that is available to qualified borrowers. As of December 1999, these advances
totaled $6.8 Million. Tax payments collected by the Bank for our customers, under the Treasury Tax and Loan Program, and owed to the U.S. Treasury are classified as other short-term borrowed funds.

Excess available funds are invested on a daily basis as Federal Funds Sold and can be withdrawn daily. The Bank attempts through its cash management strategies to maintain a minimum level of Federal Funds Sold to further enhance its liquidity.

Liquidity represents the ability of the Bank to meet its funding requirements. In assessing the appropriate level of liquidity, the Bank considers deposit levels, lending requirements, and investment maturities in light of prevailing economic
conditions. Through this assessment, the Bank manages its liquidity level to optimize earnings and respond to fluctuations in customer borrowing needs.

At June 30, 2000, the Bank's liquidity ratio stood at 31.5% as compared to 29.1% at December 31, 1999. The liquidity ratio is determined by dividing the Bank's short-term assets (cash and due from banks, interest bearing deposits due from other banks,
securities, and federal funds sold) by the Bank's total deposits. Management believes the Bank's liquidity to be adequate to meet the current and presently foreseeable needs of the Bank.

The comparison of cash flows for six months ending June 30, 2000 and 1999 shows an increase in net cash provided by operating activities of $0.2 Million. There was an increase in net interest and dividend income of $0.6 Million, an increase in service
charges and other income of $0.1 Million, a decrease in taxes paid of $0.2 million offset by an increase in cash paid to suppliers of $0.7 Million.

Cash flows from investing activities show a net decrease in cash used in investing activities of $4.9 Million when compared to 1999. Purchases of securities decreased by $12.8 Million offset by a decrease in maturities and sales of $9.4 Million for a
net decrease of $3.4 Million in cash used in investing activities. There was a decrease in cash used in loan activity of $5.9 Million, proceeds from sales of Other Real Estate Owned decreased by $0.2 Million and capital expenditures decreased by $0.6
Million. These were offset by the aforementioned purchase of Bank Owned Life Insurance for $4.9 Million.

Cash flows provided by financing activities increased by $14.7 Million when compared to the first six months of 1999. There was a net increase in cash provided by demand deposits, NOW, money market and savings accounts of $14.4 Million and an increase
in Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings of $5.0 Million as mentioned previously. These were offset by decreases in time deposits of $3.5 Million and short-term borrowings of $1.2 Million.

Capital

As of June 30, 2000, the Company had total capital of $32,817,103. This represents an increase of $1,152,857 from $31,664,246 reported on December 31, 1999. The increase in capital was a combination of several factors. Additions consisted of
six months earnings of $1,519,843, transactions originating through the Dividend Reinvestment Program whereby 11,090.943 shares were issued for cash contributions of $115,170 and 28,643.831 shares were issued for $295,464 in lieu of cash dividend payments
and stock options exercised amounting to $14,026. These additions were offset by dividends paid of $596,777 and cash dividends paid in lieu of fractional shares of $2,025 as a result of the 5% stock dividend issued February 2000.

Also, affecting capital is accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) which reflects net unrealized gains or losses, net of taxes, on securities classified as Available for Sale and the minimum pension liability adjustment. On December 31, 1999 the
Available for Sale portfolio had unrealized losses, net of taxes, of $1,150,594, and on June 30, 2000, as a result of current market values, the portfolio reflects unrealized losses, net of taxes, of $1,343,438. There was no change in the minimum pension
liability adjustment of $3,024, net of taxes, recorded December 31, 1999.

Under the requirements for Risk Based and Leverage Capital of the federal banking agencies, a minimum level of capital will vary among banks based on safety and soundness of operations. Risk Based Capital ratios are calculated with reference to
risk-weighted assets, which include both on and off balance sheet exposure.

At June 30, 2000 the actual Risk Based Capital of the Bank was $27,734,000 for Tier 1 Capital, exceeding the minimum requirements of $10,750,840 by $16,983,160. Total Capital of $31,178,000 exceeded the minimum requirements of $21,501,680 by
$9,676,320 and Leverage Capital of $27,734,000 exceeded the minimum requirements of $14,751,480 by $12,982,520.  In addition to the "minimum" capital requirements, "well capitalized" standards have also been established by the Federal Banking Regulators.

The table below illustrates the capital ratios of the Company and the Bank on June 30, 2000 and at December 31, 1999.

ITEM 3

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure of Market Risk

Interest Rate Risk

Volatility in interest rates requires the Company to manage interest rate risk that arises from the differences in the timing of repricing of assets and liabilities. The Company considers interest rate risk, the exposure of earnings to adverse
movements in interest rates, to be a significant market risk as it could potentially have an effect on the Company's financial condition and results of operation.

The Company's Asset-Liability Management Committee, comprised of the Bank's Executive Management team, has the responsibility of managing interest rate risk and monitoring and adjusting the difference between interest-sensitive assets and
interest-sensitive liabilities ("GAP" position) within various time periods.

Management's objective is to reduce and control the volatility of its net interest margin by managing the relationship of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. In order to manage this relationship, the committee utilizes a GAP
report prepared on a monthly basis. The GAP report indicates the differences or gap between interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities in various maturity or repricing time periods. This, in conjunction with certain assumptions, and other
related factors, such as anticipated changes in interest rates and projected cash flows from loans, investments and deposits, provides management a means of evaluating interest rate risk.

In addition to the GAP report, the Company also uses an analysis to measure the exposure of net interest income to changes in interest rates over a relatively short (i.e., 12 months) time frame. The analysis projects future interest income and
expenses from the Company's earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Depending on the GAP position, the Company's policy limit on interest rate risk specifies that if interest rates were to change immediately up or down 200 basis points, estimated
net interest income for the next twelve months should not decline by more than ten percent. The following table reflects the Company's estimated exposure as a percentage of estimated net interest income for the next twelve months, assuming an immediate
change in interest rates:



|Rate Change(Basis Points) | Estimated Exposure as a Percentage of Net Interest IncomeJune 30, 2000
|------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------
|+200
-200                 | (3.71%)
 2.01%                                                        

The model used to monitor earnings-at-risk provides management a measurement tool to assess the effect of changes in interest rates on the Company's current and future earnings. The 10% limit established by the Company provides an internal
tolerance level to control interest rate risk exposure.
