of FASB Statement No. 133, requires derivative instruments be carried at fair
value on the balance sheet. The statement continues to allow derivative
instruments to be used to hedge various risks and sets forth specific criteria
to be used to determine when hedge accounting can be used. The statement also
provides for offsetting changes in fair value of cash flows of both the
derivative and hedged asset or liability to be recognized in earnings in the
same period; however, any changes in fair value or cash flow that represent the
ineffective portion of a hedge are required to be recognized in earnings and
cannot be deferred. For derivative instruments not accounted for as hedges,
changes in fair value are required to be recognized in earnings and cannot be
deferred. For derivative instruments not accounted for as hedges, changes in
fair value are required to be recognized in earnings. The Company plans to adopt
the provisions of this statement, as amended, for its quarterly and annual
reporting beginning January 1, 2001, the statement's effective date. The impact
of adopting the provisions of this statement on the Company's financial
position, results of operations and cash flows subsequent to the effective date
is not currently estimable and will depend on the financial position of the
Company and the nature and purpose of any derivative instrument in use at the
time.

On August 25, 1998, the Bank, Industrial Bank, N.A., entered into a Formal
Agreement with OCC. The Agreement requires the Bank to undertake certain actions
within designated time frames from the date the agreement was entered into, and
to operate in compliance with the provisions thereof during its term. The

Financial

IBW Financial Corporation's net income for the nine months ended September 30,
2000 totaled $1,309, an increase of $447, or 52% from $862 for the nine months
ended September 30, 1999. This was the result of an increase in net interest
income of $679 an increase of $130 in non-interest income, and a decrease in the
provision for loan losses of $775, offset by an increase of $1,052 in
non-interest expense and an increase of $85 in income taxes. Return on average
assets (ROAA), and return on average shareholder's equity (ROAE) for the first
nine-month period of 2000 were .65% and 9.48% compared to .41% and 6.58% for the
first nine-month period of 1999.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 increased $679,
or 8% compared to the same period last year. This increase is attributed
primarily to an increase in volume and income in loans and non-taxable
securities, a decrease in volume in taxable securities and a decrease in volume
and income in federal funds sold. The average balance of interest-earning assets
for the nine month period ended September 30, 2000 decreased $9 million or 4% to
$249 million compared to $259 million for the nine month period ended September
30, 1999. However, the average yield on average interest-earning assets
increased by 70 basis points to 7.70% for the nine month period ended September
30, 2000 compared to 7.00% for the same period last year. The increase in the
average yield on average interest-earning assets reflects the increase in market
rates and the higher level of loans.

 Net loans averaged $112 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2000
compared to $100 million for the comparable period in 1999, reflecting an
increase of $12 million. Interest and fees on loans increased $679 or 10% to
$7.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 compared to $6.8
million for the same period last year. The increase in loans primarily reflects
growth in the commercial real estate sector.

Taxable securities averaged $114 million during the nine months ended September
30, 2000 compared to $132 million for the comparable period in 1999, reflecting
a decrease of $18 million. Interest income from taxable securities increased $87
or 2% to $5.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 compared to
$5.5 million for the same period last

                                      -9-

year. While the average balance decreased, the average yield on taxable
securities increased 98 basis points to 6.51% for the nine months ended
September 30, 2000 compared to 5.53% for the same period last year.

Non-taxable securities averaged $18 million during the nine months ended
September 30, 2000 compared to $12 million for the comparable period in 1999,
reflecting an increase of $6 million. Interest income from non-taxable
securities increased $382 or 54% to $1,087 for the nine months ended September
30, 2000 compared to $705 for the same period last year. The tax equivalent
yield on non-taxable securities decreased 30 basis points to 7.86% for the nine
months ended September 30, 2000 compared to 8.16% for the same period last year.

Federal funds sold averaged $3 million during the nine months ended September
30, 2000 compared to $14 million for the comparable period in 1999, reflecting a
decrease of $11 million. Interest income from federal funds sold decreased $351
to $157 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 compared to $508 for the
same period last year. The yield on federal funds sold increased 129 basis
points to 6.02% for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 compared to 4.73%
for the same period last year. The increase in the yield on federal funds sold
reflects the increase in market rates. The decline in volume of federal funds
reflects the redeployment of federal funds into higher yielding loans.

Average interest-bearing liabilities decreased $13 million or 6% to $188 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 compared to $201 million for the
same period last year. The average cost on interest-bearing liabilities
increased 20 basis points to 3.19% for the nine months ended September 30, 2000
compared to 2.99% for the same period last year. The decrease in average
interest-bearing liabilities are centered primarily in time deposits which
decreased $11 million for the nine months ended 2000, as the cost of these
deposits decreased $341 over the same period. The average cost on short-term
borrowing increased 147 basis points to 5.26% for the nine months ended
September 30, 2000 compared to 3.79%.

The interest rate spread increased 50 basis points to 4.51% at September 2000
from 4.01% at September 1999, and is primarily attributable to lower market
rates for deposits, higher levels of rates for taxable securities, and higher
volume of loans, offset by higher rates in short-term borrowings. Overall, the
net margin increased to 5.29% from 4.68% for the comparable period.

Provision for Loan Losses

The Company maintains an allowance for loan losses to absorb losses on existing
loans and commitments that may become uncollectible. No provision for loan
losses was made during the nine months ended September 30, 2000 compared to $775
for the nine months ended September 30, 1999. The ratio of allowance for
possible loan losses to total loans is 3.28% at September 30, 2000 compared to
3.96% at December 31, 1999. Management believes the allowance is adequate at
September 30, 2000. See the "Non-Performing Assets" section for additional
information related to the Company's allowance for loan losses.

Non-interest Income

Non-interest income increased $130, or 5%, to $2,766 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2000 compared to $2,636 for September 30, 1999. Service charges on
deposit accounts increased $77 or 4% to $2,015 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2000 compared to $1,938 for the same period last year. Other fee
income increased $121 to $743 from $622 for the comparable period. Non-interest
income was also impacted by the increase in the loss on the sale of securities,
as security losses increased $93 to $128 for the nine month period ended
September 30, 2000 compared to security losses of only $35 at September 30,
1999.


Non-interest Expense

Non-interest expenses increased $1,052 to $10.6 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 2000 compared to $9.6 million for the same period last year.
The composition of the increase consist of an increase of $991 in salary and
employee benefits, an increase of $172 in furniture and equipment and an
increase in data processing of $60, an increase of $15 in advertising, offset by
a decrease of $164 in other expenses and a decrease of $22 in occupancy
expenses.

                                     -10-
<PAGE>

The increase in salary and benefits for the nine months ended September 30, 2000
compared to the same period a year ago was due primarily to a full staff this
year compared to several key employee vacancies throughout the company in the
first nine months of 1999, and increases in officer salaries in 2000 compared to
officers salaries being frozen during 1999.

Provision for Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes for the first nine months of 2000 was $336,
compared to $251 a year ago due to higher income before taxes.

Financial Overview

Total assets, at $275 million, increased $10 million since December 31, 1999.
The change in the composition of the balance sheet primarily reflected an
increase of $19 million in loans and a decrease of $6 million in investment
securities, and a decrease of $2 million in federal funds sold. Liabilities
reflect a $2 million decrease in deposits, a $10 million increase in short-term
borrowings and an increase in shareholder's preferred stock dividends of $19 and
$401 in common stock dividends were declared during the nine months of 2000.

The carrying value of the Company's securities portfolio decreased $6 million to
$132 million at September 30, 2000 from $138 million at December 31, 1999. This
composition reflected a change as U. S. Government Agency securities decreased
approximately $3 million to $37 million while mortgage-backed securities
decreased $3 million to $75 million, from December 31, 1999 to September 30,
2000. The mortgage-backed securities portfolio had a weighted-average remaining
maturity of 3.05 years at September 30, 2000, down from 3.55 years at December
31, 1999. The collateral underlying all the mortgage-backed securities is
guaranteed by one of the "Quasi-Governmental" agencies, and therefore maintains
a risk weight of 20% for risk-based capital purposes. Management's analysis of
mortgage-related securities includes, but is not limited to, the average lives,
seasonality, coupon and historic behavior (including prepayment history) of each
particular security over its life, as affected by various interest rate
environments. Stress tests are performed on each security on a quarterly basis
as part of management's ongoing analysis. There are no issuers of securities
other than governmental securities, whose securities held by the Company, have a
book value in excess of 10% of shareholders' equity.

The allowance for loan losses was $4.1 million or 3.28% of total loans at
September 30, 2000 compared to $4.3 million or 3.96% at December 31, 1999. The
decrease in the level of the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of ending
loans is a result of increased loan growth. Non-performing assets increased
$1,017 or 30% to $4,376 from $3,359 at year-end 1999. This increase is
attributed primarily by the addition of one commercial construction real estate
loan of $1.8 million that was placed on non-accrual during the second quarter of
2000. Loans with potential credit problems (excluding non-performing assets)
increased to $7,098 at September 30, 2000 from $6,587 at year-end 1999. At
September 30, 2000 and year-end 1999, non-performing assets represented 1.6% and
1.3% respectively of total assets.

The level of the allowance for loan losses is determined by management on the
basis of various assumptions and judgments. These include levels and trends of
past due and non-accrual loans, trends in volume and changes in terms, effects
of policy changes, experience and depth of management, anticipated economic
conditions in the Washington, DC metropolitan area, concentrations of credit,
the composition of the loan portfolio, prior loan loss experience, and the
ongoing and periodic reviews of the loan portfolio by the Company's internal and
external loan review function. For impaired loans, the Company establishes
reserves in accordance with SFAS 114 as amended by SFAS 118, and for
non-impaired loans uses an allocation approach which relies on historical loan
loss experience, adjusted to reflect current conditions and trends.

                                      -13-
<PAGE>

Although management believes that it uses the best information available to make
such determinations that the allowance for loan losses is adequate as of the
dates shown, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary, and net
income could be significantly affected, if circumstances and/or economic
conditions differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the initial
determinations. Any downturn in the real estate market or general economic
conditions in the Washington, DC metropolitan area could result in the Company
experiencing increased levels of non-performing assets and charge-offs,
significant provisions for loan losses, and significant reductions in net
income. Additionally, various regulatory agencies periodically review the
Company's allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require the recognition
of additions to the allowance based on their judgments or information available
to them at the time of their examination. In light of the foregoing, there can
be no assurance that management's determinations as to the future adequacy of
the allowance for loan losses will prove accurate, or that additional provisions
or charge-offs will not be required.

         The following table sets forth information concerning non-performing
assets.

1. Loans are placed on non-accrual status when in the opinion of management the
   collection of additional interest is unlikely or a specific loan meets the
   criteria for non-accrual status established by regulatory authorities. No
   interest is taken into income on non-accrual loans unless received in cash. A
   loan remains on non-accrual status until the loan is current to both
   principal and interest and the borrower demonstrates the ability to pay and
   remain current, or the loan becomes well secured and is in the process of
   collection. The gross interest income that would have been recorded in the
   nine months ended September 30, 2000 and the year ended December 31, 1999 for
   non-accrual loans had the loans been current in accordance with their
   original terms was $254 and $274, respectively.


At September 30, 2000, there were $7,098 of loans not reflected in the table
above, where known information about possible credit problems of borrowers
caused management to have doubts as to the ability of the borrower to comply
with present loan repayment terms and that may result in disclosure of such
loans in the future. Included in the total are twenty loans, totaling $6,593
fully collateralized by real estate of which eleven loans totaling $4,291 are
concentrated in the commercial real estate and nine loans totaling $2,302 are in
residential mortgages. The remaining $505 consist of three commercial loans,
secured primarily by accounts receivable and various business equipment.


Formal Agreement with the OCC. On August 25, 1998, the Bank entered into a
Formal Agreement (the "Agreement") with the Office of the Comptroller of the
Currency (the "OCC"). The Agreement requires the Bank to undertake certain
actions within designated timeframes from the date the agreement was entered
into, and to operate in compliance with the provisions thereof during its term.

                                      -14-
<PAGE>

Among the actions required by the Agreement are the following: (i) Within thirty
days, the Bank shall employ an independent management consultant to perform a
study of the Bank's management structure and staffing requirements, including a
report identifying staffing requirements, job descriptions and evaluations for
senior officers, and evaluating organizational structure. The Board of Directors
(the "Board") is required to adopt within thirty days of the receipt of the
report, a plan to eliminate any deficiencies in management, staffing, or
supervision of management; (ii) The Board is required to take steps to obtain
current and satisfactory credit information on loans without such information,
and to insure that proper collateral documentation is maintained. Management may
not grant, renew, alter, restructure or extend a loan without proper
documentation and analysis of credit, purpose and anticipated source of
repayment. In absence of such information, such loans my be made only upon
certification of a majority of the Board why obtaining such information would be
detrimental to the best interest of the Bank; (iii) Within thirty days the Board
shall adopt a written program to eliminate the basis of criticism for assets
rated "doubtful", "substandard" or "other assets especially mentioned;" (iv)
Within thirty days the Board shall establish a loan review system to assure
timely identification and categorization of problem credits and implement a
process to insure the loan review function is independent; (v) Within sixty days
the Board shall review and revise the Bank's loan policy based upon the guidance
on Loan Portfolio Management in the Comptroller's Manual for National Bank
Examiners. Within thirty days thereafter, the Board shall develop a process to
ensure accountability for lending personnel; (vi) The Board shall notify the
Assistant Deputy Comptroller before all loan sales; (vii) Within sixty days, the
Board shall develop a written program to improve and strengthen collection
efforts; (viii) Within ninety days the Board shall develop a profit plan to
improve and sustain the Bank's earnings; (ix) Within 120 days, the Board shall
adopt and implement a strategic plan for the Bank covering at least three years,
including objectives for earnings performance, balance sheet mix, off-balance
sheet activities, liability structure, capital adequacy, reduction in the volume
of non-performing assets, product line development and market segments intended
to be developed, together with strategies to achieve those objectives; (x) The
Board shall take all steps necessary to correct any violation of law, rule or
regulation cited in any report of examination.

Compliance with the Agreement is to be monitored by a committee (the
"Committee") of at least three directors, none of whom is an employee of the
Bank or a family member of an employee. The Committee, presently composed of
four directors, is required to submit written progress reports on a monthly
basis. The Agreement requires the Bank to make periodic reports and filings with
the OCC.

The Agreement does not contain any capital directive or other requirement that
the Bank increase its capital, or maintain a minimum level of capital in excess
of generally applicable capital requirements.
