                     HAMILTON BANCORP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                               SEPTEMBER 30, 1999

NOTE 1:  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The consolidated statements of condition for Hamilton Bancorp Inc. and
Subsidiaries (the "Company") as of September 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998,
the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income,
stockholders' equity and of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30,
1999 and 1998 included in the Form 10-Q have been prepared by the Company in
conformity with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X
and, therefore, do not include all of the information and footnotes required by
generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. The
statements are unaudited except for the consolidated statement of condition as
of December 31, 1998.

The accounting policies followed for interim financial reporting are consistent
with the accounting policies set forth in Note 1 to the consolidated financial
statements appearing in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 1998 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

NOTE 2: NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the Company's net income by
the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period.

Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the Company's net income by
the weighted average number of shares outstanding and the dilutive impact of
potential common stock, primarily stock options. The dilutive impact of common
stock is determined by applying the treasury stock method.

NOTE 3: SALE OF LOANS

During the nine months ended September 30, 1999, the Company sold $8.1 million
of its residential mortgage loan portfolio realizing a gain of $106 thousand.
This sale was the result of a status change during 1998 in the Bank's
designation to a wholesale bank for purposes of the Community Reinvestment Act.
This designation is due largely to the Company's focus on trade finance. In
addition, the Company sold $10.0 million foreign loans realizing gains of $543
thousand.

NOTE 4: TRUST PREFERRED SECURITIES

On December 28, 1998, the Company issued $11,000,000 of 9.75% Beneficial
Unsecured Securities, Series A (the "Preferred Securities") out of a guarantor
trust. On January 14, 1999, the Trust issued an additional $1,650,000 of
Preferred Securities upon the exercise of an over-allotment by the
underwriters. The Trust holds 9.75% Junior Subordinated Deferrable Interest
Debentures, Series A (the "Subordinated Debentures") of the Company purchased
with the proceeds of the securities issued. Interest from the Subordinated
Debentures of the Company is used to fund the preferred dividends of the Trust.
Distributions on the Preferred Securities are cumulative and are payable
quarterly. The Trust must redeem the Preferred Securities when the Subordinated
Debentures are paid at maturity on or after December 31, 2028, or upon earlier
redemption. Subject to the Company having received any required approval of
regulatory agencies, the Company has the option at any time on or after
December 31, 2008 to redeem the Subordinated Debentures, in whole or in part.
Additionally, the Company has the option at any time prior to December 31, 2008
to redeem the Subordinated Debentures, in whole but not in part, if certain
regulatory or tax events occur or if there is a change in certain laws that
require the Trust to register under the law. The Preferred Securities are
considered to be Tier I capital for regulatory purposes.

ITEM 2.

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

INTRODUCTION

Hamilton Bancorp Inc. ("Bancorp") is a bank holding company which conducts
operations principally through its 99.8 percent subsidiary, Hamilton Bank, N.A.
(the "Bank" and, collectively with Bancorp, the "Company"). The Bank is a
national bank which specializes in financing trade flows between domestic and
international companies on a global basis, with particular emphasis on trade
with and between South America, Central America, the Caribbean (collectively,
the "Region") and the United States. The Bank has a network of nine
FDIC-insured branches with eight Florida locations in Miami, Sarasota, Tampa,
West Palm Beach, Winter Haven and Weston and a branch in San Juan, Puerto Rico.

FINANCIAL CONDITION - SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 VS. DECEMBER 31, 1998.

Total consolidated assets decreased $31.1 million, or 1.8 percent, during the
first nine months of 1999, which included a decrease of $33.2 million in
non-interest earning assets offset by an increase of $2.1 million in interest
earning assets. The decrease in consolidated assets is due primarily to a
decrease of $46.1 million in amounts due from customers on bankers acceptances.
Loans-net increased by $40.1 million, while interest-earning deposits with
other banks increased by $20.0 million. During the quarter, the Company
continued to adjust its asset composition to take advantage of opportunities in
the U. S. market with its rising trade deficits and the need for the countries
of Latin America to export their way out of their recessionary environment. As
a consequence, the Company's exposure in the U. S. increased relative to the
Region.

CASH, DEMAND DEPOSITS WITH OTHER BANKS AND FEDERAL FUNDS SOLD

Cash, demand deposits with other banks and federal funds sold are considered
cash and cash equivalents. Balances of these items fluctuate daily depending on
many factors which include or relate to the particular banks that are clearing
funds, loan payoffs, deposit gathering and reserve requirements. Cash, demand
deposits with other banks and federal funds sold totaled $58.9 million at
September 30, 1999 compared to $111.8 million at December 31, 1998.

INTEREST-EARNING DEPOSITS WITH OTHER BANKS AND INVESTMENT SECURITIES

Interest-earning deposits with other banks increased to $220.2 million at
September 30, 1999 from $200.2 million at December 31, 1998. These deposits are
placed with correspondent banks in the Region, generally on a short term basis
(less than 365 days), to increase yields and enhance relationships with the
correspondent banks. The short-term nature of these deposits allows the Company
the flexibility to later redeploy assets into a higher yielding domestic loan
component.

Investment securities decreased to $105.8 million at September 30, 1999 from
$115.0 million at December 31, 1998. The decrease has been primarily in
government agency securities which are short term in nature and allow the
Company the flexibility of liquidity and the ability to convert these assets
into higher yielding loans as these become accessible.




                                                                             7

LOANS

The Company's gross loan portfolio increased by $52.3 million, or 4.4 percent,
during the first nine months of 1999 in relation to the year ended December 31,
1998. Commercial-domestic loans increased by $82.6 million and domestic
acceptances discounted increased by $9.7 million, a combined increase of 26.7
percent. At September 30, 1999 approximately 35.7 percent of the Company's
portfolio consisted of loans to domestic borrowers and 64.3 percent of the
Company's portfolio consisted of loans to foreign borrowers. The Company's loan
portfolio is relatively short-term, as approximately 51.6 and 68.9 percent of
loans at September 30, 1999 were short-term loans with average maturities of
less than 180 and less than 365 days, respectively. See "Interest Rate
Sensitivity Report".

The following table sets forth the loans by type in the Company's loan
portfolio at the dates indicated.

The following tables reflect largely both the Company's diversification in
financing trade flows between the United States and the Region in terms of
loans by country and cross-border outstandings by country. The aggregate amount
of the Company's crossborder outstandings by primary credit risk include cash
and demand deposits with other banks, interest earning deposits with other
banks, investment securities, due from customers on bankers acceptances, due
from customers on deferred payment letters of credit and loans-net. Exposure
levels in any given country at the end of each period may be impacted by the
flow of trade between the United States (and to a large extent Florida) and the
given countries, as well as the price of the underlying goods or commodities
being financed.

At September 30, 1999 approximately 30.9 percent in principal amount of the
Company's loans were outstanding to borrowers in four countries other than the
United States: Brazil (11.4 percent), Panama (8.5 percent), Argentina (5.9
percent) and Guatemala (5.1 percent).

CONTINGENCIES - COMMERCIAL LETTERS OF CREDIT
(in thousands)

The following table sets forth the total volume and average monthly volume of
the Company's export and import letters of credit for each of the periods
indicated. As shown by the table, the volume of commercial letters of credit
decreased by 33.8 percent to $381.9 million for the nine months ended September
30, 1999 when compared to the same period in 1998. This is a result of shifts
towards more on-balance sheet financing and an increase in financing a greater
domestic component.

ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES

The allowance for credit losses reflects management's judgment of the level of
allowance adequate to provide for reasonably foreseeable losses, based upon the
following factors: (i) the economic conditions in those countries in the Region
in which the Company conducts trade finance activities; (ii) the credit
condition of its customers and correspondent banks, as well as the underlying
collateral, if any; (iii) historical experience; and (iv) the average maturity
of its loan portfolio.

In addition, although the Company's credit losses have been relatively limited
to date, management believes that the level of the Company's allowance should



                                                                            12

reflect the potential for political and economic instability in certain
countries of the Region and the possibility that serious economic difficulties
in a country could adversely affect all of the Company's loans to borrowers in
or doing business with that country.

Determining the appropriate level of the allowance for credit losses requires
management's judgment, including application of the factors described above to
assumptions and estimates made in the context of changing political and
economic conditions in many of the countries of the Region. Accordingly, there
can be no assurance that the Company's current allowance for credit losses will
prove to be adequate in light of future events and developments. At September
30, 1999 the allowance for credit losses was approximately $25.1 million. The
increase in the allowance is related to recent economic and political events in
Ecuador as well as conditions in Latin America.

The following table provides certain information with respect to the Company's
allowance for credit losses, provision for credit losses, charge-off and
recovery activity for the periods shown.

The Company does not have a rigid charge-off policy but instead charges off
loans on a case-by-case basis as determined by management and approved by the
Board of Directors. In some instances, loans may remain in the nonaccrual
category for a period of time during which the borrower and the Company
negotiate restructured repayment terms.

The Company attributes its favorable asset quality to the short-term nature of
its loan portfolio, the composition of its borrower base, the importance that
borrowers in the Region attach to maintaining their continuing access to
financing for foreign trade and the Company's loan underwriting policies.

The Company accounts for impaired loans in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 114, Accounting by Creditors for
Impairment of a Loan. Under these standards, individually identified impaired
loans are measured based on the present value of payments expected to be
received, using the historical effective loan rate as the discount rate.
Alternatively, measurement may also be based on observable market prices or,
for loans that are solely dependent on the collateral for repayment,
measurement may be based on the fair value of the collateral. The Company
evaluates commercial loans individually for impairment, while groups of
smaller-balance homogeneous loans (generally residential mortgage and
installment loans) are collectively evaluated for impairment.

The following table sets forth information regarding the Company's
nonperforming loans at the dates indicated.

DUE FROM CUSTOMERS ON BANKERS' ACCEPTANCES AND DEFERRED PAYMENT LETTERS OF
CREDIT.

Due from customers on bankers' acceptances and deferred payment letters of
credit were $29.5 million and $7.1 million, respectively, at September 30, 1999
compared to $75.6 million and $6.5 million, respectively, at December 31, 1998.
These assets represent a customer's liability to the Company while the
Company's? corresponding liability to third parties is reflected on the balance
sheet as "Bankers Acceptances Outstanding" and "Deferred Payment Letters of
Credit Outstanding".

DEPOSITS

The primary sources of the Company's domestic time deposits are its nine Bank
branches located in Florida and Puerto Rico. In pricing its deposits, the
Company analyzes the market carefully, attempting to price its deposits
competitively with the other financial institutions in the area.

Total deposits were $1,484.3 million at September 30, 1999 compared to $1,477.1
million at December 31, 1998. The increase in deposits during the nine month
period was largely in savings and transaction deposit accounts which increased
by $34.8 million.

The following table indicates the maturities and amounts of certificates of
deposit and other time deposits issued in denominations of $100,000 or more as
of September 30, 1999:

TRUST PREFERRED SECURITIES

The trust preferred securities increased by $1.7 million as a result of the
exercise of the over allotment option by the underwriter. See Note 4 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.

STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

The Company's stockholders' equity at September 30, 1999 was $136.1 million
compared to $123.5 million at December 31, 1998. During this period
stockholders' equity increased by $12.6 million primarily due to the retention
of net income.

LIQUIDITY

Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $52.9 million from December 31, 1998.
During the first nine months of 1999, net cash provided by operating activities
was $31.2 million, net cash used in investing activities was $87.0 which was
offset by net cash provided by financing activities of $2.8 million. For
further information on cash flows, see the Consolidated Statement of Cash
Flows.

The Company's principal sources of liquidity and funding are its diverse
deposit base and the sales of bankers' acceptances as well as loan
participations. The level and maturity of deposits necessary to support the
Company's lending and investment activities is determined through monitoring
loan demand and through its asset/liability management process. Considerations
in managing the Company's liquidity position include, but is not limited to,
scheduled cash flows from existing assets, contingencies and liabilities, as
well as projected liquidity needs arising from anticipated extensions of
credit. Furthermore, the liquidity position is monitored daily by management to
maintain a level of liquidity conducive to efficient operations and is
continuously evaluated as part of the asset/liability management process.

The majority of the Company's deposits are short-term and closely match the
short-term nature of the Company's assets. See "Interest Rate Sensitivity
Report." At September 30, 1999 interest-earning assets maturing within six
months were $861.7 million, representing 54.0 percent of total earning assets
and earning assets maturing within one year were $1.148 billion or 71.8 percent
of total earning assets. The interest bearing liabilities maturing within six
months were $861.4 million or 62.2 percent of total interest bearing
liabilities and maturing within one year were $1.250 billion or 90.3 percent of
the total at September 30, 1999.

The short-term nature of the loan portfolio and the fact that a portion of the
loan portfolio consists of bankers' acceptances provides additional liquidity
to the Company. Liquid assets at September 30, 1999 were $305 million, 18.1
percent of total assets, and consisted of cash and cash equivalents, due from
banks-time and U. S. government agency securities that are unpledged. At
September 30, 1999 the Company had been advised of $57 million in available
interbank funding.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

Bancorp and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements
administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital
requirements can result in certain mandatory and possibly additional
discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct
material effect on the Company's financial statements. The regulations require
Bancorp and the Bank to meet specific capital adequacy guidelines that involve
quantitative measures of their assets, liabilities and certain off-balance
sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Bancorp's and
the Bank's capital classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by
the regulators about interest rate risk, concentration of credit risk and other
factors.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy
require Bancorp and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth
in the table below) of Tier I capital (as defined in the regulations) to total
averages assets (as defined) and minimum ratios of Tier I and total capital (as
defined) to risk-weighted assets (as defined). Bancorp's and the Bank's actual
capital amounts and ratios are also presented in the table.

The Company is in discussions with its banking regulatory agency regarding the
proper application of the mandatory regulatory accounting reserve rules under
the requirements of the Interagency Country Exposure Review Committee of the
U.S. bank regulatory agencies. If such mandatory regulatory accounting reserves
are applicable, the Company's capital ratios for regulatory purposes may be
reduced, but are expected to remain within the current classification of "well
capitalized," the highest classification category.

MARKET RISK MANAGEMENT

In the normal course of conducting business activities, the Company is exposed
to market risk which includes both price and liquidity risk. The Company's
price risk arises from fluctuations in interest rates and foreign exchange
rates that may result in changes in values of financial instruments. The
Company does not have material direct market risk related to commodity and
equity prices. Liquidity risk arises from the possibility that the Company may
not be able to satisfy current and future financial commitments or that the
Company may not be able to liquidate financial instruments at market prices.
Risk management policies and procedures have been established and are utilized
to manage the Company's exposure to market risk. The strategy of the Company is
to operate at an acceptable risk environment while maximizing its earnings.




                                                                            19
<PAGE>   21

Market risk is managed by the Asset Liability Committee which formulates and
monitors the performance of the Company based on established levels of market
risk as dictated by policy. In setting the tolerance levels of market risk, the
Committee considers the impact on both earnings and capital, based on potential
changes in the outlook in market rates, global and regional economies,
liquidity, business strategies and other factors.

The Company's asset and liability management process is utilized to manage
interest rate risk through the structuring of balance sheet and off-balance
sheet portfolios. It is the strategy of the Company to maintain as neutral an
interest rate risk position as possible. By utilizing this strategy the Company
"locks in" a spread between interest earning assets and interest-bearing
liabilities. Given the matching strategy of the Company and the fact that it
does not maintain significant medium and/or long-term exposure positions, the
Company's interest rate risk will be measured and quantified through an
interest rate sensitivity report. An excess of assets or liabilities over these
matched items results in a gap or mismatch. A positive gap denotes asset
sensitivity and normally means that an increase in interest rates would have a
positive effect on net interest income. On the other hand a negative gap
denotes liability sensitivity and normally means that a decline in interest
rates would have a positive effect in net interest income. However, because
different types of assets and liabilities with similar maturities may reprice
at different rates or may otherwise react differently to changes in overall
market rates or conditions, changes in prevailing interest rates may not
necessarily have such effects on net interest income.

Interest Rate Sensitivity Report as of September 30, 1999 shows that interest
bearing liabilities maturing or repricing within one year exceed interest
earning assets by $101.6 million. The Company monitors that the assets and
liabilities are closely matched to minimize interest rate risk. On September
30, 1999 the interest rate risk position of the Company was not significant
since the impact of a 100 basis point rise or fall of interest rates over the
next 12 months is estimated at .7 percent of net income.

Substantially all of the Company's?assets and liabilities are denominated in
dollars; therefore the Company has no material foreign exchange risk. In
addition, the Company has no trading account securities; therefore it is not
exposed to market risk resulting from trading activities.

On a daily basis the Bank's Chief Financial Officer and the Bank's Treasurer
are responsible for measuring and managing market risk.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS-NINE MONTHS

NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income is the difference between interest and fees earned on loans
and investments and interest paid on deposits and other sources of funds, and
it constitutes the Company's principal source of income. Net interest income
increased to $44.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 from
$38.9 million for the same period in 1998, a 13.1 percent increase. The
increase was due largely to an increase in average earning assets offset, to
some extent, by a slight decrease in net interest margin. Average earning
assets increased to $1.523 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 1999
from $1.337 billion for the same period in 1998, a 13.9 percent increase.
Average loans and acceptances discounted increased to $1.173 billion for the
nine months ended September 30, 1999 from $1.136 billion for the same period in
1998, a 3.3 percent increase. The increase in loans was largely attributable to
an increase in the U. S. component of the loan portfolio. Average interest
earning deposits with other banks increased to $171.9 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 1999 from $113.9 million for the same period in
1998, a 50.9 percent increase. Net interest margin decreased to 3.87 percent
for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 from 3.89 percent for the same
period in 1998, a 2 basis point decrease.

Interest income increased to $97.7 million for the nine months ended September
30, 1999 from $89.5 million for the same period in 1998, a 9.2 percent
increase, reflecting an increase in time deposits with banks as well as loans.
This increase was partially offset by a decrease in prevailing interest rates.
Interest expense increased to $53.7 million for the nine months ended September
30, 1999 from $50.6 million for the same period in 1998, a 6.1 percent
increase, reflecting the additional deposits to fund asset growth and offset by
a decrease in cost of funds. Average interest-bearing deposits increased to
$1.331 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 from $1.177 billion
for the same period in 1998, a 13.1 percent increase.

PROVISION FOR CREDIT LOSSES

The Company's provision for credit losses increased to $17.7 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 1999 from $7.1 million for the same period in
1998. Management decided to increase the provision for loan losses reflecting
recent economic and political events in Ecuador coupled with conditions in
Latin America. Net loan charge-offs during the first nine months of 1999
amounted to $5.3 million compared to $7.3 million for the same period in 1998.
The allowance for credit losses increased from $12.8 million at December 31,
1998 to $25.1 million at September 30, 1999. The ratio of the allowance for
credit losses to total loans was 2.04 percent at September 30, 1999 increasing
from approximately 1.08 percent at December 31, 1998.

NON-INTEREST INCOME

Non-interest income increased to $14.2 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999 from $12.2 million for the same period in 1998, a 16.4
percent increase. Structuring and syndication fees increased by $1.6 million as
a result of several transactions completed during the period. This was offset
by a decrease in trade finance fees and commissions of $756 thousand. The
increase in other non-interest income is due to an increase in account analysis
fees, Harmoney(R); a proprietary internet based remote banking system; and
other fees. In addition, non-interest income included gains on sales of loans
of $543 thousand, which is discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial
statements.

The following table sets forth details regarding the components of non-interest
income for the periods indicated.

OPERATING EXPENSES

Operating expenses increased to $21.9 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999 from $19.1 million for the same period in 1998, a 14.7
percent increase. The majority of this increase was in other expenses which
increased to $9.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 from $6.9
million for the same period in 1998. This increase was largely due to increased
legal expenses which was the result of an increase in the number of litigation
cases in the ordinary course of business during the period. In addition, during
1999 the Company purchased political risk insurance which increased the
operating expenses. The Company's efficiency ratio increased slightly to 37.7
percent for the nine month period ended September 30, 1999 from 37.5 percent
for the same period in 1998.

YEAR 2000

The Company began the process in June 1996 of assessing and preparing its
computer systems and applications to be functional on January 1, 2000. The
Company has also been communicating with third parties which interface with the
Company, such as customers, counter parties, payment systems, vendors and
others, to determine whether they will be functional. The Company has
incorporated Year 2000 as part of its credit policy process and addresses the
issues in each new loan and as part of its credit renewals.

The Company believes that the process of modifying all mission critical
applications of the Company has been completed in accordance with guidelines
dictated by FFIEC (Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council). The
non-critical systems will continue to be reviewed and tested and management
will determine if changes or replacement is deemed necessary.

Research to verify compatibility of counter parties, payment systems, vendors
and others has been conducted. These systems were divided into critical and
non-critical categories. The Company believes that those identified as critical
have demonstrated to be Year 2000 compliant or were replaced by parties or
systems that are Year 2000 compliant. Those identified as non-critical will
continue to be reviewed and tested and management will determine if changes or
replacement is deemed necessary.

The Company provided compliance certification questionnaires to each of its
customers in order to determine their ability to be Year 2000 compliant. The
Company amended its Credit Policy Manual which require the Company to terminate
business with a customer unless the Company is assured that such customer is or
will be Year 2000 compliant in the near future, except in such instances where
the customer's failure to be Year 2000 compliant will not, either individually
or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the Company. If a
customer did not respond to the questionnaire or if its response did not
provide the Company with adequate assurance that such customer's failure to be
Year 2000 compliant would not have a material adverse effect on the Company,
the Company did not renew its current relationship with that customer.

Concurrently, the Company is in the process of upgrading its computers systems
to accommodate the growth of the past two years. These new systems being
installed are Year 2000 compliant. The Company believes the total costs
relating exclusively to Year 2000 compliance will be approximately $250,000,
which amount is not material to the Company's financial position or results of
operations. To date, the Company has incurred approximately $150,000 of these
estimated expenses. Any purchased hardware or software in connection with this
process will be capitalized in accordance with normal Company policy. Personnel
and all other costs are being expensed as incurred

There can be no assurance that all of the parties mentioned above will become
Year 2000 compliant on a timely basis. The costs and dates on which the Company
plans to complete the Year 2000 process are based on the Company's best
estimates. However, there can be no assurance that these estimates will be
achieved and actual results could differ.



                                                                            23

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS-THIRD QUARTER

NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income is the difference between interest and fees earned on loans
and investments and interest paid on deposits and other sources of funds, and
it constitutes the Company's principal source of income. Net interest income
increased to $16.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 1999 from $13.7
million for the same period in 1998, a 19.0 percent increase. The increase was
due largely to an increase in average earning assets and an increase in net
interest margin. Average earning assets increased to $1.533 billion for the
quarter ended September 30, 1999 from $1.455 billion for the same period in
1998, a 5.4 percent increase. Average loans and acceptances discounted
decreased to $1.189 billion for the quarter ended September 30, 1999 from
$1.222 billion for the same period in 1998. The increase in average interest
earning assets for the quarter was primarily in time deposits with other banks
which increased by 40.4 percent to $197.8 million and investments which
increased by 81.0 percent to $126.7 million for the quarter. Net interest
margin increased significantly to 4.23 percent for the quarter ended September
30, 1999 from 3.74 percent for the same period in 1998. The primary reason for
the increase is the 37 basis point decrease in the cost of interest bearing
deposits. The overall cost of funds decreased to 5.20 percent for the quarter
ended September 30, 1999 from 5.65 percent for the same period in 1998.

Interest income increased to $34.2 million for the quarter ended September 30,
1999 from $32.5 million for the same period in 1998, a 5.2 percent increase,
reflecting an increase in time deposits with banks as well as loans in the U. S.
Interest expense decreased to $17.9 million for the quarter ended September 30,
1999 from $18.7 million for the same period in 1998, a 4.3 percent decrease.
Average interest-bearing deposits increased to $1.331 billion for the quarter
ended September 30, 1999 from $1.290 billion for the same period in 1998, a 3.2
percent increase; primarily in Presidential Money Market accounts and
Certificates of Deposits.

PROVISION FOR CREDIT LOSSES

The Company's provision for credit losses increased to $15.0 million for the
quarter ended September 30, 1999 from $3.0 million in the same period in 1998.

recent events in Ecuador and Latin America as discussed previously. Net loan
charge-offs during the third quarter of 1999 amounted to $2.6 million compared
to $6.3 million for the same period in 1998. The allowance for credit losses
increased from $12.8 million at December 31, 1998 to $25.1 million at September
30, 1999. The ratio of the allowance for credit losses to total loans was 2.04
percent at September 30, 1999 increasing from approximately 1.08 percent at
December 31, 1998.

30, 1999 from $4.3 million for the same period in 1998, an 11.6 percent

OPERATING EXPENSES

Operating expenses increased to $7.3 million for the quarter ended September
30, 1999 from $6.8 million for the same period in 1998, a 8.2 percent increase.

July 6, 1999 as well as additional expenses relating to computer systems
upgrades. The Company's efficiency ratio improved to 34.5 percent for the three
month period ended September 30, 1999 from 37.6 percent for the same period in
1998.
