                         FREDERICK COUNTY BANCORP, INC.

                    Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)

NOTE 1.  GENERAL:

On September 30, 2003, the Agreement and Plan of Share Exchange (the "Exchange")
between Frederick County Bancorp, Inc. (the "Bancorp") and Frederick County Bank
(the "Bank"), dated June 9, 2003, approved at the Special Meeting of
Shareholders of the Bank held on September 22, 2003, became effective. Pursuant
to the Exchange, each of the outstanding shares of common stock $10.00 par value
of the Bank was converted into one share of the common stock $0.01 par value of
the Bancorp. As a result of the Exchange, the Bank has become a wholly owned
subsidiary of the Bancorp and Bancorp recognized the assets and liabilities
transferred at the carrying amounts in the accounts of the Bank.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of Frederick County Bancorp,
Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Frederick County Bank, (collectively, the
"Company") have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and
are presented as if the exchange of shares occurred on January 1, 2003.
Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required
by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.
The financial statements for the three-month and nine-month periods ended
September 30, 2003 reflect only the operations of the Bank, since the Bancorp
had not been formed at that time. These statements should be read in conjunction
with the financial statements and accompanying footnotes included in the
Company's 2003 Annual Report to Shareholders. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary
for a fair presentation have been included. The results shown in this interim
report are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for any other
period or for the full year ended December 31, 2004.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. These estimates and assumptions are based on
information available as of the date of the financial statements and could
differ from actual results.

On August 30, 2000, the Bank was incorporated and in 2001, became engaged in the
developmental activities needed to obtain a commercial bank charter in the State
of Maryland. The Bank received regulatory approval to commence banking
operations on October 18, 2001 and, accordingly, became operational during the
year ended December 31, 2001. The Bank provides its customers with various
banking services. The Bank offers various loan and deposit products to their
customers.

NOTE 2. EARNINGS PER SHARE:

Earnings per share ("EPS") are disclosed as basic and diluted. Basic EPS is
generally computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of
common shares outstanding for the period, whereas diluted EPS essentially
reflects the potential dilution in basic EPS that could occur if other contracts
to issue common stock were exercised.

NOTE 3.  EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTION PLAN:

On April 10, 2002, the shareholders of the Bank approved the stock-based
compensation plan, which was assumed by the Company in connection with the
Exchange. The Company accounts for this plan under the recognition and
measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25,
Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations.
Accordingly, no stock-based employee compensation cost has been recognized, as
all options granted under this plan had an exercise price equal to the market
value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The following table
illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share had compensation
cost for the stock-based compensation plan been determined based on the grant
date fair values of awards (the method described in SFAS No. 123, Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation):

NOTE 7.  401(k) PROFIT SHARING PLAN:

The Company has a Section 401(k) profit sharing plan covering employees meeting
certain eligibility requirements as to minimum age and years of service.
Employees may make voluntary contributions to the Plan through payroll
deductions on a pre-tax basis. The Company makes discretionary contributions to
the Plan based on the Company's earnings. The Company's contributions are
subject to a vesting schedule (20 percent per year) requiring the completion of
five years of service with the Company, before these benefits are fully vested.
A participant's account under the Plan, together with investment earnings
thereon, is normally distributable, following retirement, death, disability or
other termination of employment, in a single lump-sum payment.

The Company made contributions to the Plan in the amounts of $26,000 and $24,000
for the first nine months of 2004 and 2003, respectively.

NOTE 8.  SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY:

Capital:

The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements
administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital
requirements can initiate certain mandatory - and possibly additional
discretionary - actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct
material effect on the Company's financial statements. Under capital adequacy
guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the
Company and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve
quantitative measures of the Company's and the Bank's assets, liabilities, and
certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting
practices. The Company's and the Bank's capital amounts and classification are
also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk
weightings, and other factors.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy
require the Company and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set
forth in the following table) of total and Tier 1 capital (as defined in the
regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and Tier 1 capital (as
defined) to average assets (as defined). In addition, since the Bank is a new
financial institution, it is required by the Federal Reserve Bank to maintain a
9.0% Tier 1 capital to average asset ratio (leverage ratio) until October 2004.
Management believes that the Company and the Bank met all capital adequacy
requirements to which they are subject as of September 30, 2004.

As of September 30, 2004, the most recent notification from the regulatory
agency categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework
for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized the Bank
must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based, and Tier 1 leverage
ratios as set forth in the table. There are no conditions or events since that
notification which management believes have changed the Bank's category.

The Company's and the Bank's actual capital amounts and ratios at September 30,
2004 and December 31, 2003 are presented in the following tables.

         Capitalized Under Prompt Corrective Action Provisions, respectively.
         However, under the approval received from the Federal Reserve Bank, the
         Bank is also required to maintain a minimum Tier 1 Capital to Average
         Assets of 9.00% until October 2004. At September 30, 2004, and December
         31, 2003, the level of Tier 1 Capital required to meet the 9%
         requirement totaled $13,551,000 and $10,992,000, respectively.

Additionally, the Company has not repurchased any outstanding shares of its
common stock, nor does it have an approved repurchase program at this time.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
         OF OPERATIONS.

GENERAL

This management's discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements
within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995,
including statements relating to the Frederick County Bancorp, Inc. (the
"Company") beliefs, expectations, anticipations and plans regarding, among other
things, general economic trends, interest rates, product expansions and other
matters. Such forward-looking statements are identified by terminology such as
"may", "will", "believe", "expect", "estimate", "anticipate", "likely",
"unlikely", "continue", or similar terms and are subject to numerous
uncertainties, such as federal monetary policy, inflation, employment,
profitability and consumer confidence levels, both nationally and in the
Company's market area, the health of the real estate and construction market in
the Company's market area, the Company's ability to develop and market new
products and to enter new markets, competitive challenges in the Company's
market, legislative changes and other factors, and as such, there can be no
assurance that future events will develop in accordance with the forward-looking
statements contained herein. Readers are cautioned against placing undue
reliance on any such forward-looking statement. In addition, the Company's past
results of operations do not necessarily indicate its future results.

The following paragraphs provide an overview of the financial condition and
results of operations of the Company. This discussion is intended to assist the
readers in their analysis of the accompanying financial statements and notes
thereto.

The Company was organized in May 2003 and on September 30, 2003, the Agreement
and Plan of Share Exchange (the "Exchange") between the Company and Frederick
County Bank (the "Bank"), dated June 9, 2003, approved at the Special Meeting of
Shareholders of the Bank held on September 22, 2003, became effective. Pursuant
to the Exchange, each of the outstanding shares of common stock $10.00 par value
of the Bank was converted into one share of the common stock $0.01 par value of
the Company. As a result of the Exchange, the Bank has become a wholly owned
subsidiary of the Company. During February 2004, the Company received approval
from the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond to become a financial holding company.

The Bank was incorporated on August 30, 2000 and during 2001 became actively
involved in the developmental activities needed to obtain a commercial bank
charter in the State of Maryland. All regulatory approvals were received, and
the Bank commenced operations on October 18, 2001.


                                       12

The Company is continually looking for promising branch sites that will
contribute to the Company's growth and profit expectations. While additional
branching activity is anticipated, there can be no assurance as to when or if,
additional branches will be established, whether any such branches can be
operated profitably, or whether such expansion will result in increased assets,
earnings, return on equity or shareholder value.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Company's financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted ("GAAP") in the United States of America and
follow general practices within the industry in which it operates. Application
of these principles requires management to make estimates, assumptions, and
judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes. These estimates, assumptions, and judgments are based on
information available as of the date of the financial statements; accordingly,
as this information changes, the financial statements could reflect different
estimates, assumptions, and judgments. Certain policies inherently have a
greater reliance on the use of estimates, assumptions, and judgments and as such
have a greater possibility of producing results that could be materially
different than originally reported. Estimates, assumptions, and judgments are
necessary when assets and liabilities are required to be recorded at fair value,
when a decline in the value of an asset not carried on the financial statements
at fair value warrants an impairment write-down or valuation reserve to be
established, or when an asset or liability needs to be recorded contingent upon
a future event. Carrying assets and liabilities at fair value inherently results
in more financial statement volatility. The fair values and the information used
to record valuation adjustments for certain assets and liabilities are based
either on quoted market prices or are provided by other third-party sources,
when available. The estimates used in management's assessment of the adequacy of
the allowance for credit losses require that management make assumptions about
matters that are uncertain at the time of estimation. Differences in these
assumptions and differences between the estimated and actual losses could have a
material effect. Further information is located in the section labeled Allowance
for Loan Losses, later in this report.

         NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2004 AND 2003

The net income was $1.03 million and $201,000 for the nine-month periods ended
September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The basic earnings per share for the
nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 are $0.71 and $0.14, respectively,
and based on the weighted-average number of shares outstanding of 1,455,152 for
each period. The diluted earnings per share for the nine months ended September
30, 2004 and 2003 are $0.68 and $0.14, respectively, and based on the
weighted-average number of shares outstanding of 1,511,325 and 1,475,486,
respectively.

The Company experienced an annualized return on average assets of 0.97% and
0.25% for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2004 and 2003,
respectively. Additionally, the Company experienced an annualized return on
average shareholders' equity of 10.41% and 2.16% for the nine-month periods
ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

The Company experienced significant asset growth of $28.56 million, or 21.7%,
during the first nine months of 2004, reaching $159.19 million at September 30,
2004, up from the $130.64 million as of December 31, 2003. Gross loans increased
$27.56 million, or 28.7% to end the period at $123.59 million, up from $96.03
million as of December 31, 2003. Deposits also grew, and stood at $144.41
million at September 30, 2004, an increase of 22.9% since December 31, 2003. The
increase in the bank premises and equipment was primarily due to the purchase of
land for a new branch site in the amount of $550,000.

         THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2004 AND 2003

The net income was $428,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2004. This
compares favorably to the $132,000 profit recorded for the same period in 2003.
The basic earnings per share for the three months ended September 30, 2004 and
2003 are $0.29 and $0.09, respectively, and based on the weighted-average number
of shares outstanding of 1,455,152 for each period. The diluted earnings per
share for the three months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 are $0.28 and
$0.09, respectively, and based on the weighted-average number of shares
outstanding of 1,514,843 and 1,477,638, respectively.

The Company experienced an annualized return on average assets of 1.14% and
0.44% for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2004 and 2003,
respectively. Additionally, the Company experienced an annualized return on
average shareholders' equity of 12.71% and 4.23% for the three-month periods
ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

</TABLE>

NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income is generated from the Company's lending and investment
activities, and is the most significant component of the Company's earnings. Net
interest income is the difference between interest and rate-related fee income
on earning assets (primarily loans and investment securities) and the interest
paid on the funds (primarily deposits) supporting them. While the Company
currently relies almost entirely on deposits to fund loans and investments, with
minimal short term borrowings, in future periods it may utilize a higher level
of short-term borrowings, including borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank,
federal funds lines with correspondent banks and repurchase agreements, to fund
operations, depending on economic conditions, deposit availability and pricing,
interest rates and other factors.

The Bank commenced operations on October 18, 2001. Since it's opening,
management has been pleased with the Bank's asset growth. Core deposit
relationships are being developed within the local market place, driven by
competitive pricing and excellent customer service.

         NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2004 AND 2003

The interest income of $5.39 million in 2004 was $1.45 million higher than the
amount recognized in 2003. This dramatic increase in interest income is due to
the growth in average earning assets of $31.49 million or 29.9% since September
30, 2003. The yield on average earning assets in 2004 increased to 5.24% from
4.99% in 2003. The Company's net interest margin was 4.04% and 3.58%
and the net interest spread was 3.72% and 3.22% for the nine-month periods ended
September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The increase in yield on earning
assets, net interest margin and net interest spread, despite the decline in the
yield on the loan portfolio, primarily reflects the increase in average loans as
a percentage of average earning assets to 79.7% at September 30, 2004, as
compared to 70.5% at September 30, 2003.


                                       15
<PAGE>

The interest expense increased marginally from $1.12 million in 2003 to $1.24
million in 2004 due to the 29.1% increase in volume of average interest-bearing
liabilities that increased from $84.05 million as of September 30, 2003 to
$108.47 million as of September 30, 2004, net of the offset caused by the
decline in the average rate paid on these liabilities from 1.77% in 2003 to
1.52% in 2004.

The decline in the rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities for the first nine
months of 2004 from the levels in 2003, reflect the continued impact of the
significant rate reductions effected by the Federal Reserve in 2001 and
continued into 2002 with the last rate reduction occurring in June 2003. While
the Federal Reserve has begun increasing interest rates, an aggregate increase
of 0.75% since June 30, 2004, the effect of these increases has not been fully
reflected in rates paid on deposit accounts.

         THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2004 AND 2003

The interest income of $1.98 million in 2004 was $579,000 higher than the amount
recognized in 2003. This dramatic increase in interest income is due to the
growth in average earning assets of $29.96 million or 25.8% since September 30,
2003. The yield on earning assets in 2004 increased to 5.37% from 4.77% in 2003.
This increase in yield is attributable to the impact of a larger percentage of
loans to average interest-earning assets. The Company's net interest margin was
4.13% and 3.52% and the net interest spread was 3.80% and 3.21% for the
three-month periods ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Average
loans as a percentage of average interest-earnings assets increased to 81.2% for
the three months ended September 30, 2004, as compared to 72.6% for the same
period in 2003.

The interest expense increased marginally from $366,000 in 2003 to $456,000 in
2004 due to the increase in volume of interest-bearing liabilities since the
rate paid on these liabilities remained constant at 1.57% for both periods. As
noted above, increases in interest rates by the Federal Reserve have not yet had
a significant impact on rates paid on deposits, although it is expected that
such rates will increase over time.

NONINTEREST INCOME

Noninterest income was $178,000 and $165,000 for the nine-month periods ended
September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively, attributable primarily to service
fees on deposit accounts and ATM interchange fees. Included in the noninterest
income for 2003 is $34,000 of securities gains, which were realized in the first
quarter, and for 2004, $5,000 in securities losses realized in the third
quarter.

The Company's management is committed to developing and offering innovative,
market-driven products and services that will generate additional sources of
noninterest income. However, the future results of any of these products or
services cannot be predicted at this time.

NONINTEREST EXPENSES

Noninterest expenses amounted to $2.98 million and $2.47 million for the first
nine months of 2004 and 2003, respectively. See Note 6 to the financial
statements for a schedule showing a detailed breakdown of the Company's
noninterest expenses. The changes in noninterest expenses are principally
related to the following: an increase in personnel costs (including a bonus
accrual of $153,000 and $80,000 for the nine and three month periods ended
September 30, 2004, whereas, there were no accruals for either period in 2003);
the increase in data processing expenses, which increase as the number and
volume of loans and deposit accounts increase, along with the introduction of
new products; and the additional advertising expense to increase the Bank's name
recognition in the local community.

INCOME TAXES

The Company has recorded a $344,000 deferred tax valuation allowance related to
various temporary differences, principally consisting of the provision for loan
losses, against $500,000 in deferred tax assets as of September 30, 2004. At
December 31, 2003 the Company had a 100% deferred tax valuation allowance to
various temporary differences, principally consisting of the provision for loan
losses and its net operating loss carryforward totaling $910,000.

     MARKET RISK, LIQUIDITY AND INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY

Asset/liability management involves the funding and investment strategies
necessary to maintain an appropriate balance between interest sensitive assets
and liabilities. It also involves providing adequate liquidity while sustaining
stable growth in net interest income. Regular review and analysis of deposit and
loan trends, cash flows in various categories of loans, and monitoring of
interest spread relationships are vital to this process.


                                       16
<PAGE>

The conduct of our banking business requires that we maintain adequate liquidity
to meet changes in the composition and volume of assets and liabilities due to
seasonal, cyclical or other reasons. Liquidity describes the ability of the
Company to meet financial obligations that arise during the normal course of
business. Liquidity is primarily needed to meet the borrowing and deposit
withdrawal requirements of the customers of the Company, as well as for meeting
current and future planned expenditures. This liquidity is typically provided by
the funds received through customer deposits, investment maturities, loan
repayments, borrowings, and income. Management considers the current liquidity
position to be adequate to meet the needs of the Company and its customers.

The Company seeks to limit the risks associated with interest rate fluctuations
by managing the balance between interest sensitive assets and liabilities.
Managing to mitigate interest rate risk is, however, not an exact science. Not
only does the interval until repricing of interest rates on assets and
liabilities change from day to day as the assets and liabilities change, but for
some assets and liabilities, contractual maturity and the actual maturity
experienced are not the same. Similarly, NOW and money market accounts, by
contract, may be withdrawn in their entirety upon demand and savings deposits
may be withdrawn on seven days notice. While these contracts are extremely
short, it is the Company's belief that these accounts turn over at the rate of
five percent (5%) per year. The Company therefore treats them as having
maturities staggered over all periods. If all of the Company's NOW, money
market, and savings accounts were treated as repricing in one year or less, the
cumulative gap at one year or less would be $(22.46) million.

Interest rate sensitivity is an important factor in the management of the
composition and maturity configurations of the Company's earning assets and
funding sources. An Asset/Liability Committee manages the interest rate
sensitivity position in order to maintain an appropriate balance between the
maturity and repricing characteristics of assets and liabilities that is
consistent with the Company's liquidity analysis, growth, and capital adequacy
goals. It is the objective of the Asset/Liability Committee to maximize net
interest margins during periods of both volatile and stable interest rates, to
attain earnings growth, and to maintain sufficient liquidity to satisfy
depositors' requirements and meet credit needs of customers.

The table below, "Interest Rate Sensitivity Gap Analysis," summarizes, as of
September 30, 2004, the anticipated maturities or repricing of the Company's
interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, the Company's interest
rate sensitivity gap (interest-earning assets less interest-bearing
liabilities), the Company's cumulative interest rate sensitivity gap, and the
Company's cumulative interest sensitivity gap ratio (cumulative interest rate
sensitivity gap divided by total assets). A negative gap for any time period
means that more interest-bearing liabilities will reprice or mature during that
time period than interest-earning assets. During periods of rising interest
rates, a negative gap position would generally decrease earnings, and during
periods of declining interest rates, a negative gap position would generally
increase earnings. The converse would be true for a positive gap position.
Therefore, a positive gap for any time period means that more interest-earning
assets will reprice or mature during that time period than interest-bearing
liabilities. During periods of rising interest rates, a positive gap position
would generally increase earnings, and during periods of declining interest
rates, a positive gap position would generally decrease earnings.


                                       17
<PAGE>


It is important to note that the following table represents the static gap
position for interest sensitive assets and liabilities at September 30, 2004.
The table does not give effect to prepayments or extensions of loans as a result
of changes in general market interest rates. Moreover, while the table does
indicate the opportunities to reprice assets and liabilities within certain time
frames, it does not account for timing differences that occur during periods of
repricing. For example, changes to deposit rates tend to lag in a rising rate
environment and lead in a falling rate environment.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICY:

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

The Company makes provisions for loan losses in amounts deemed necessary to
maintain the allowance for loan losses at an appropriate level. The provision
for loan losses is determined based upon management's estimate of the amount
required to maintain an adequate allowance for loan losses reflective of the
risks in the Company's loan portfolio. The Company's provision for loan losses
for the first nine months of 2004 and 2003 was $315,000. The loan growth was
$27.56 million for the first nine months of 2004. At September 30, 2004 and
December 31, 2003, the allowance for loan losses was $1.30 million and $985,000,
respectively.

The allowance for loan losses is an estimate of the losses that are inherent in
the loan portfolio. The allowance is based on two basic principles of
accounting: (i) SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies, which requires that
losses be accrued when they are probable of occurring and estimatable and (ii)
SFAS No. 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan, which requires
that losses be accrued based on the differences between the loan balance and
either the value of collateral, or the present value of future cash flows, or
the loan's value as observable in the secondary market. The provision for loan
losses included in the statements of operations serve to maintain the allowance
at a level management considers adequate.

The Company's allowance for loan losses has three basic components: the specific
allowance, the formula allowance and the pooled allowance. Each of these
components is determined based upon estimates that can and do change when the
actual events occur. As a result of the uncertainties inherent in the estimation
process, management's estimate of loan losses and the related allowance could
change in the near term.

The specific allowance component is used to individually allocate an allowance
for loans identified as impaired. Impairment testing includes consideration of
the borrower's overall financial condition, resources and payment record,
support available from financial guarantors and the fair market value of
collateral. These factors are combined to estimate the probability and severity
of inherent losses. When impairment is identified, then a specific reserve is
established based on the Company's calculation of the loss embedded in the
individual loan. Large groups of smaller balance, homogeneous loans are
collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, the Company does not
separately identify individual consumer and residential loans for impairment. At
September 30, 2004 there were no loans deemed to be impaired.


                                       18
<PAGE>

The formula allowance component is used for estimating the loss on internally
risk rated loans and those loans identified for impairment testing, for which no
impairment was identified. The loans meeting the Company's internal criteria for
classification, such as special mention, substandard, doubtful and loss, as well
as, impaired loans, are segregated from performing loans within the portfolio.
These internally classified loans are then grouped by loan type (commercial,
commercial real estate, commercial construction, residential real estate,
residential construction or installment). Each loan type is assigned an
allowance factor based on management's estimate of the associated risk,
complexity and size of the individual loans within the particular loan category.
Classified loans are assigned a higher allowance factor than non-classified
loans due to management's concerns regarding collectability or management's
knowledge of particular elements surrounding the borrower. Allowance factors
increase with the worsening of the internal risk rating.

The pooled formula component is used to estimate the losses inherent in the
pools of non-classified loans. These loans are then also segregated by loan type
and allowance factors are assigned by management based on delinquencies, loss
history, trends in volume and terms of loans, effects of changes in lending
policy, the experience and depth of management, national and local economic
trends, concentrations of credit, quality of loan review system and the effect
of external factors (i.e. competition and regulatory requirements). The
allowance factors assigned differ by loan type.

Allowance factors and overall size of the allowance may change from period to
period based on management's assessment of the above-described factors and the
relative weights given to each factor.

Management believes that the allowance for loan losses is adequate. There can be
no assurance, however, that additional provisions for loan losses will not be
required in the future, including as a result of changes in the economic
assumptions underlying management's estimates and judgments, adverse
developments in the economy, on a national basis or in the Company's market
area, or changes in the circumstances of particular borrowers.

As of September 30, 2004, the real estate loan portfolio constituted 82% of the
total loan portfolio. The Company does not have a concentration of loans that
exceed 10% of the total loan portfolio to any one industry. An industry for this
purpose is defined as a group of counterparties that are engaged in similar
activities and have similar economic characteristics that would cause their
ability to meet contractual obligations to be similarly affected by changes in
economic or other conditions.

The allocation of the allowance, presented in the following table, is based
primarily on the factors discussed above in evaluating the adequacy of the
allowance as a whole. Since all of those factors are subject to change, the
allocation is not necessarily indicative of the category of recognized loan
losses, and does not restrict the use of the allowance to absorb losses in any
category.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in
the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers.
These financial instruments included commitments to extend credit, including
unused portions of lines of credit, and standby letters of credit. The Company
has also entered into long-term lease obligations for some of its premises and
equipment, the terms of which generally include options to renew. The above
instruments and obligations involve, to varying degrees, elements of off-balance
sheet risk in excess of the amount recognized in the statements of financial
condition. None of these instruments or obligations have or are reasonably
likely to have a current or future effect on the Company's financial condition,
revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or
capital resources that is material to investors.

Commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit as of September 30,
2004 were as follows:

                                                                 September 30,

Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003 for additional

CAPITAL RESOURCES

In the fourth quarter of 2001, the Bank completed its offering of common stock,
raising an aggregate of $9.44 million net of expenses of the offering. During
the third quarter of 2002, the Bank completed the sale of 250,000 shares of
common stock in a secondary stock offering, raising an additional $5.17 million,
net of expenses of the offering. The ability of the Company to grow is dependent
on the availability of capital with which to meet regulatory requirements,
discussed below, and to absorb initial operating losses. To the extent the
Company is successful it may need to acquire additional capital through the sale
of additional common stock, other qualifying equity instruments or subordinated
debt, or through incurrence of debt which does not qualify as holding company
capital, but which can be contributed as capital to the Bank or utilized for
other corporate purposes. There can be no assurance that additional capital will
be available to the Company on a timely basis or on attractive terms. At
September 30, 2004, the Company had outstanding unsecured variable rate debt of
$450,000, due in 2006.

The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements
administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital
requirements can initiate certain mandatory - and possibly additional
discretionary - actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct
material effect on the Company's financial statements. Under capital adequacy
guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the
Company and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve
quantitative measures of the Company's and the Bank's assets, liabilities, and
certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting
practices. The Company's and the Bank's capital amounts and classification are
also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk
weightings, and other factors.


                                       20
<PAGE>

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy
require the Company and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of total
and Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as
defined), and Tier 1 capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined). In
addition, since the Bank is a new financial institution, it is required by the
Federal Reserve Bank to maintain a 9.0% Tier 1 capital to average asset ratio
(leverage ratio) until October 2004. Management believes that the Company and
the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject as of
September 30, 2004. See Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements for a
table depicting compliance with regulatory capital requirements.

As of September 30, 2004, the most recent notification from the regulatory
agency categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework
for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized the Bank
must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based, and Tier 1 leverage
ratios as set forth in the table in Note 8. There are no conditions or events
since that notification which management believes have changed the Bank's
category.

Additionally, the Company has not repurchased any outstanding shares of its
common stock, nor does it have an approved repurchase program at this time.

INFLATION

The effect of changing prices on financial institutions is typically different
than on non-banking companies since virtually all of a Company's assets and
liabilities are monetary in nature. In particular, interest rates are
significantly affected by inflation, but neither the timing nor magnitude of the
changes are directly related to price level indices; therefore, the Company can
best counter inflation over the long term by managing net interest income and
controlling net increases in noninterest income and expenses.

ITEM. 3  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The Company's management, under the supervision and with the participation of
the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated, as
of the last day of the period covered by this report, the effectiveness of the
design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures, as
defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based on
that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer
concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were adequate.
There were no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting
(as defined in Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Act of 1934) during the quarter
ended September 30, 2004 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely
to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
