ITEM 1.  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

Board of Directors
Southwest Bancorporation of Texas, Inc.:

     We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of
Southwest Bancorporation of Texas, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the "Company") as of
June 30, 2000, the related condensed consolidated statement of income for the
three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, the condensed
consolidated statement of changes in shareholders' equity for the six-month
period ended June 30, 2000 and the condensed consolidated statement of cash
flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.

     We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim
financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to
financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and
accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in
accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is
the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a
whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

     Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that
should be made to the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial
statements for them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

     We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1999, and the
related consolidated statements of income, of changes in shareholders' equity,
and of cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and, in our
report dated February 11, 2000, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those
consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in
the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1999,
is fairly stated, in all material respects in relation to the consolidated
financial statements from which it has been derived.

              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)

1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Southwest Bancorporation of Texas, Inc. (the "Company") and its direct and
indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries Southwest Holding Delaware, Inc. (the
"Delaware Company"), Southwest Bank of Texas National Association (the "Bank"),
and Mitchell Mortgage Company, LLC ("Mitchell"). These financial statements give
retroactive effect to the merger of Fort Bend Holding Corp., ("Fort Bend") on
April 1, 1999 in a transaction accounted for as a pooling of interests. All
material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. In the
opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal and recurring adjustments,
necessary to present fairly the Company's consolidated financial position at
June 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999, consolidated income for the three-month and
six-month periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, consolidated cash flows for the
six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 and the consolidated changes in
shareholders' equity for the six months ended June 30, 2000. Interim period
results are not necessarily indicative of results of operations or cash flows
for a full-year period.

     These financial statements and the notes thereto should be read in
conjunction with the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1999.

     PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP is not subject to the liability provisions of
Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933 for their report on the unaudited
financial information as of June 30, 2000 and for the three months and six
months then ended, because that report is not a "report" or a "part" of the
registration statement prepared or certified by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP
within the meaning of Sections 7 and 11 of the Act.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

     In June 1998, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133,
ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES, as amended, was
issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board to establish accounting and
reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative
instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. SFAS
No. 133 requires that an entity recognize those instruments at fair value. If
certain conditions are met, a derivative may be specifically designated as
(a) a hedge of the exposure to changes in the fair value of a recognized asset
or liability or an unrecognized firm commitment, (b) a hedge of the exposure to
variable cash flows of a forecasted transaction, or (c) a hedge of the foreign
currency exposure of a net investment in a foreign operation, an unrecognized
firm commitment, an available-for-sale security, or a
foreign-currency-denominated forecasted transaction. The accounting for the
changes in the fair value of a derivative depends on the intended use of the
derivative and the resulting designation. The standard is effective for all
fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. The Company is evaluating the effect
of this pronouncement on the Company's consolidated financial position, results
of operations and cash flows.

OVERVIEW

     On April 1, 1999, the Company and Fort Bend Holding Corp. ("Fort Bend")
completed their previously announced merger, which was accounted for as a
pooling of interests. The merger agreement provided for the exchange of 1.45
shares of the Company's Common Stock for each share of Fort Bend Common Stock,
resulting in the issuance of approximately 4.6 million shares of Company Common
Stock on a fully diluted basis. In connection with this merger, the Company
incurred approximately $4.5 million in pretax merger-related expenses and other
charges in the second quarter of 1999. The historical financial data has been
restated to include the accounts and operations of Fort Bend for all periods
presented.

     Total assets at June 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999 were $3.26 billion and
$2.85 billion, respectively. Gross loans were $2.19 billion at June 30, 2000, an
increase of $277.4 million or 14% from $1.91 billion at December 31, 1999. This
growth was a result of a strong local economy, and the Company's style of
relationship banking. Shareholders' equity was $214.9 million and
$195.0 million at June 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999, respectively.

     For the six months ended June 30, 2000, net income was $18.7 million ($0.64
per diluted share) compared to $10.6 million ($0.37 per diluted share) for the
same period in 1999, an increase of 77%. For the three months ended June 30,
2000, net income was $10.0 million ($0.34 per diluted share) compared to
$3.9 million ($0.13 per diluted share) for the same period in 1999, an increase
of 158%. Return on average assets and return on average common shareholders'
equity for the three months ended June 30, 2000 was 1.32%, and 19.56%,
respectively.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

  INTEREST INCOME

     Interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2000 was
$59.1 million, an increase of $14.1 million, or 31% from the three months ended
June 30, 1999. This increase in interest income is due to a $397.0 million
increase in average earning assets to $2.77 billion for the three months ended
June 30, 2000, a 17% increase from the same period last year. For the six months
ended June 30, 2000, interest income was $113.2 million, a $25.1 million, or 28%
increase from the same period a year ago. This increase in interest income is
due to a $367.8 million increase in average earning assets to $2.70 billion for
the six months ended June 30, 2000, a 16% increase from the same period last
year.

     Interest income on loans increased $14.9 million to $47.9 million for the
three months ended June 30, 2000. This was due to a $506.5 million increase in
average loans outstanding during the same period. The average yield on loans was
9.20% for the three months ended June 30, 2000, an increase of 86 basis points
when compared to the same period in 1999. Interest income on securities
decreased to $10.7 million, a $809,000 decrease from the three month period
ended June 30, 1999. This decrease was attributable to a $106.4 million decrease
in average securities outstanding, down 14% when compared to the three months
ended June 30, 1999. Partially offsetting the decrease in average balances was a
54 basis point increase in the average yield on securities to 6.73% for the
three months ended June 30, 2000 when compared to the same period in 1999.

     For the six months ended June 30, 2000, interest income on loans increased
41% to $90.9 million, up from $64.6 million for the same period last year. This
was due to a $467.7 million increase in average loans outstanding during the
same period. The average yield on loans was 9.03% for the six months ended
June 30, 2000, an increase of 66 basis points when compared to the same period
in 1999. Interest income on securities decreased to $21.4 million, a decrease of
$943,000 or 4% from the six month period ended June 30, 1999. This decrease was
attributable to a $81.2 million decrease in average securities outstanding, down
11% when compared to the six months ended June 30, 1999. This decrease was
partially offset by an increase in the average yield on securities to 6.71% for
the six months ended June 30, 2000 compared to 6.24% for the same period in
1999.

  INTEREST EXPENSE

     Interest expense on deposits and other borrowings was $26.6 million for the
three months ended June 30, 2000, compared to $19.3 million for the same period
in 1999. For the six months ended June 30, 2000, interest expense on deposits
and other borrowings was $50.4 million compared to $37.7 million for the same
period a year ago. The increase in interest expense was attributable to a
$328.3 million and $302.3 million respective increase in average
interest-bearing liabilities for the three- and six-month comparable periods.
The average yield on interest bearing liabilities was 4.93% for the three months
ended June 30, 2000, an increase of 72 basis points when compared to the same
period in 1999. For the six months ended June 30, 2000, the average yield on
interest bearing liabilities was 4.79%, an increase of 59 basis points when
compared to the same period in 1999.

  NET INTEREST INCOME

     Net interest income was $32.5 million for the three months ended June 30,
2000, compared with $25.7 million for the same period in 1999, an increase of
27%. For the six months ended June 30, 2000, net interest income increased 25%
from the same period in 1999 to $62.8 million. The increase in net interest
income during the three- and six-months ended June 30, 2000 was largely due to
growth in average interest-earning assets, primarily loans.

     The net interest margin was 4.68% for the three months ended June 30, 2000,
compared with 4.34% in the second quarter of 1999. This increase resulted from
an increase in the yield on earning assets of 98 basis points from 7.61% for the
three months ended June 30, 1999 to 8.59% for the three months ended June 30,
2000. This increase in the yield on earning assets was partially offset by an
increase in the cost of funds of 72 basis points, from 4.21% for the three
months ended June 30, 1999, to 4.93% for the three months ended

                                       10

June 30, 2000. The net interest margin was 4.64% for the six months ended
June 30, 2000, up from 4.37% for the first six months of 1999. This increase
resulted from an increase in the yield on earning assets of 81 basis points from
7.63% for the six months ended June 30, 1999 to 8.44% for the six months ended
June 30, 2000. This increase in the yield on earning assets was partially offset
by an increase in the cost of funds of 59 basis points, from 4.20% for the six
months ended June 30, 1999, to 4.79% for the six months ended June 30, 2000.

  PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

     The provision for loan losses was $1.8 million for the three months ended
June 30, 2000 as compared to $1.5 million for the three months ended June 30,
1999. The provision for loan losses was $3.3 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2000 as compared to $3.1 million for the six months ended June 30,
1999. Although no assurance can be given, management believes that the present
allowance for loan losses is adequate considering loss experience, delinquency
trends and current economic conditions. Management regularly reviews the
Company's loan loss allowance as its loan portfolio grows and diversifies.

     Service charges were $3.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000,
compared to $2.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 1999, an increase
of $680,000 or 27%. Service charges were $6.4 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2000 compared to $5.1 million for the same period in 1999, an increase
of $1.3 million, or 26%. The deposit accounts serviced increased to 87,788 at
June 30, 2000 from 72,654 at June 30, 1999.

     For the three months ended June 30, 2000, investment services income grew
to $1.3 million, an increase of 30% over the 1999 level. For the six months
ended June 30, 2000, investment services income grew to $2.5 million or 23% from
the $2.1 million level during the 1999 period. This increase is attributable to
the expanding international and foreign exchange departments, as well as the
continued strategic focus by the Company to increase its competitive position in
providing investment services.

     For the three months ended June 30, 2000, factoring fee income was up
$188,000, or 25%, and loan fee income was up $124,000, or 13%. Other
non-interest income was decreased by a reduction in fee income from arbitrage
activities, which contributed $131,000 in fees in the second quarter of 1999
versus zero for the second quarter of 2000.

     For the six months ended June 30, 2000, factoring fee income was up
$484,000, or 36%. Other non-interest income was decreased by a reduction in fee
income from arbitrage activities, which contributed $386,000 in fees in the six
months ended June 30, 1999 versus zero for the same period in the current year.
Additionally, other non-interest income declined primarily from a decrease in
the gain on sale of loans of $244,000 from $332,000 for the six months ended
June 30, 1999 to $88,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2000.

  NONINTEREST EXPENSES

     For the three months ended June 30, 2000, noninterest expenses totaled
$23.5 million, a decrease of $297,000, or 1%, from $23.8 million during 1999.
For the six months ended June 30, 2000, noninterest expenses totaled $46.6
million, an increase of $3.3 million, or 8%, from the same period in 1999.
Included in noninterest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999
is $4.5 million in merger-related expenses and other charges (including
investment banking fees, other professional fees, and severance expense) in
connection with the merger with Fort Bend.

     Salaries and employee benefits for the three months ended June 30, 2000 was
$14.0 million, an increase of $2.3 million or 20% from the three months ended
June 30, 1999. Salaries and employee benefits for the six months ended June 30,
2000 was $27.7 million, an increase of $4.1 million or 17% from the

                                       15
<PAGE>
same period in 1999. This increase was due primarily to hiring of additional
personnel required to accommodate the Company's growth. Total full-time
employees at June 30, 2000 and 1999 were 1,010 and 889, respectively.

     Occupancy expense increased $412,000, or 14% to $3.4 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2000. For the six months ended June 30, 2000, occupancy
expense increased $872,000, or 15% from the same period a year ago to $6.8
million. Major categories within occupancy expense are building lease expense
and maintenance contract expense. Building lease expense increased to $973,000
for the three months ended June 30, 2000 from $837,000 for the same period in
1999. For the six months ended June 30, 2000, building lease expense was $2.0
million, an increase of 20%, or $340,000 from $1.7 million for the first six
months of 1999. This increase resulted from increasing the rentable square feet
at the corporate office to accommodate the Company's growth. Maintenance
contract expense for the three months ended June 30, 2000 was $532,000, a 46% or
$168,000 increase from $364,000 for the same period last year. For the six
months ended June 30, 2000, maintenance contract expense increased $323,000, or
50%, for the same period a year ago to $964,000. This increase was primarily due
to new maintenance contracts purchased during the past year. The Company
purchases maintenance contracts for major operating systems throughout the
organization.

  INCOME TAXES

     Income tax expense includes the regular federal income tax at the statutory
rate, plus the income tax component of the Texas franchise tax. The amount of
federal income tax expense is influenced by the amount of taxable income, the
amount of tax-exempt income, the amount of nondeductible interest expense, and
the amount of other nondeductible expenses. Taxable income for the income tax
component of the Texas franchise tax is the federal pre-tax income, plus certain
officer salaries, less interest income from federal securities. For the three
months ended June 30, 2000, the provision for income taxes was $5.2 million, an
increase of $2.4 million or 84% from the $2.8 million provided for the same
period in 1999. For the six months ended June 30, 2000, income tax expense was
$9.8 million, an increase of $3.2 million or 49% from the $6.5 million provided
for the same period in 1999.

loans. The Company offers a variety of commercial lending products including
term loans, lines of credit and equipment financing. A broad range

                                       16
<PAGE>
of short- to medium-term commercial loans, both collateralized and
uncollateralized, are made available to businesses for working capital
(including inventory and receivables), business expansion (including
acquisitions of real estate and improvements) and the purchase of equipment and
machinery. The purpose of a particular loan generally determines its structure.

     Generally, the Company's commercial loans are underwritten in the Company's
primary market area on the basis of the borrower's ability to service such debt
from cash flow. As a general practice, the Company takes as collateral a lien on
any available real estate, equipment or other assets. Working capital loans are
primarily collateralized by short-term assets whereas term loans are primarily
collateralized by long-term assets.

     A substantial portion of the Company's real estate loans consists of loans
collateralized by real estate and other assets of commercial customers.
Additionally, a portion of the Company's lending activity consists of the
origination of single-family residential mortgage loans collateralized by
owner-occupied properties located in the Company's primary market area. The
Company offers a variety of mortgage loan products which generally are amortized
over five to 30 years.

     Loans collateralized by single-family residential real estate generally
have been originated in amounts of no more than 90% of appraised value. The
Company requires mortgage title insurance and hazard insurance in the amount of
the loan. Although the contractual loan payment periods for single-family
residential real estate loans are generally for a three to five year period,
such loans often remain outstanding for significantly shorter periods than their
contractual terms.

     The Bank originates and purchases residential and commercial mortgage loans
to sell to investors with servicing rights retained. The Bank also provides
residential and commercial construction financing to builders and developers and
acts as a broker in the origination of multi-family and commercial real estate
loans.

     Consumer loans made by the Company include automobile loans, recreational
vehicle loans, boat loans, home improvement loans, personal loans
(collateralized and uncollateralized) and deposit account collateralized loans.
The terms of these loans typically range from 12 to 84 months and vary based
upon the nature of collateral and size of loan.

     The contractual maturity ranges of the commercial and industrial and real
estate construction loan portfolio and the amount of such loans with fixed
interest rates and floating rates in each maturity range as of June 30, 2000 are
summarized in the following table:

LOANS HELD FOR SALE

     Loans held for sale of $86.3 million at June 30, 2000 increased from $77.0
million at December 31, 1999. These loans are typically sold to investors within
one month of origination. Approximately $42 million of these loans were
previously recorded as loans held for investment and reclassified after the
merger of Fort Bend.

  LOAN REVIEW AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

     The Company's loan review procedures include a Credit Quality Assurance
Process that begins with approval of lending policies and underwriting
guidelines by the Board of Directors, an independent loan review department
staffed with OCC experienced personnel, low individual lending limits for
officers, Senior Loan Committee approval for large credit relationships and
quality loan documentation procedures. The Company also maintains a well
developed monitoring process for credit extensions in excess of $100,000. The
Company performs monthly and quarterly concentration analyses based on various
factors such as industries, collateral types, business lines, large credit
sizes, international investments and officer portfolio loads. The Company has
established underwriting guidelines to be followed by its officers. The Company
also monitors its delinquency levels for any negative or adverse trends. There
can be no assurance, however, that the Company's loan portfolio will not become
subject to increasing pressures from deteriorating borrower credits due to
general economic conditions.

     Historically, the Houston metropolitan area has been affected by the state
of the energy business, but since the mid 1980's the economic impact has been
reduced by a combination of increased industry diversification and less reliance
on debt to finance expansion. When energy prices fluctuate, it is the Company's
practice to review and adjust underwriting standards with respect to companies
affected by oil and gas price volatility, and to continuously monitor existing
credit exposure to companies which are impacted by this price volatility.

     The allowance for loan losses is established through charges to earnings in
the form of a provision for loan losses. Based on an evaluation of the loan
portfolio, management presents a quarterly review of the allowance for loan
losses to the Board of Directors, indicating any changes in the allowance since
the last review and any recommendations as to adjustments in the allowance. In
making its evaluation, management considers growth in the loan portfolio, the
diversification by industry of the Company's commercial loan portfolio, the
effect of changes in the local real estate market on collateral values, the
results of recent regulatory examinations, the effects on the loan portfolio of
current economic indicators and their probable impact on borrowers, the amount
of charge-offs for the period, the amount of nonperforming loans and related
collateral security and the evaluation of its loan portfolio by the loan review
function. Charge-offs occur when loans are deemed to be uncollectible.

     In order to determine the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses,
management considers the risk classification or delinquency status of loans and
other factors, such as collateral value, portfolio composition, trends in
economic conditions and the financial strength of borrowers. Management
establishes specific allowances for loans which management believes require
reserves greater than those allocated according to their classification or
delinquent status. The Company then charges to operations a provision for loan
losses determined on an annualized basis to maintain the allowance for loan
losses at an adequate level determined according to the foregoing methodology.

     Management believes that the allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2000 is
adequate to cover losses inherent in the portfolio as of such date. There can be
no assurance, however, that the Company will not sustain losses in future
periods, which could be greater than the size of the allowance at June 30, 2000.

losses among various categories of loans and certain other information for the
dates indicated. Portions of the allowance for loan losses are allocated to
cover the estimated losses inherent in particular risk categories of loans. The
allocation of the allowance for loan losses is based upon the Company's loss
experience over a period of years and is adjusted for subjective factors such as
economic trends, performance trends, portfolio age and concentrations of credit.
The allocation is made for analytical purposes and is not necessarily indicative
of the categories in which future loan losses may occur. The total allowance is
available to absorb losses from any segment of loans.

  NONPERFORMING ASSETS AND IMPAIRED LOANS

     The Company generally places a loan on nonaccrual status and ceases
accruing interest when loan payment performance is deemed unsatisfactory. All
loans past due 90 days, however, are placed on nonaccrual status, unless the
loan is both well collateralized and in the process of collection. Cash payments
received while a loan is classified as nonaccrual are recorded as a reduction of
principal as long as doubt exists as to collection. The Company is sometimes
required to revise a loan's interest rate or repayment terms in a troubled debt
restructuring.

     Nonperforming assets were $3.2 million at June 30, 2000 compared with
$4.4 million at December 31, 1999. This resulted in a ratio of nonperforming
assets to loans plus other real estate of 0.15% and 0.24% at June 30, 2000 and
December 31, 1999, respectively.

     The Company regularly updates appraisals on loans collateralized by real
estate, particularly those categorized as nonperforming loans and potential
problem loans. In instances where updated appraisals reflect reduced collateral
values, an evaluation of the borrower's overall financial condition is made to
determine the need, if any, for possible writedowns or appropriate additions to
the allowance for loan losses.

     A loan is considered impaired when, based upon current information and
events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled
payments of principal and interest when due according to the contractual terms
of the loan agreement. The Company's impaired loans were approximately $3.8
million and $13.7 million at June 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999, respectively.
The largest component of impaired loans had been a commercial energy related
loan of approximately $10.8 million. This loan was not considered impaired at
June 30, 2000 as a result of payments in accordance with terms for a period not
less than twelve months. The average recorded investment in impaired loans
during the six months ended June 30, 2000 and the year ended December 31, 1999
was $8.6 million and $13.9 million, respectively. The total required allowance
for loan losses related to these loans was $0 for each reported period. Interest
income on impaired loans of $198,000 and $415,000 was recognized for cash
payments received during the six months ended June 30, 2000 and June 30, 1999,
respectively.

     The Bank is not committed to lend additional funds to debtors whose loans
have been modified.

  SECURITIES

     At the date of purchase, the Company classifies debt and equity securities
into one of three categories: held to maturity, trading or available for sale.
At each reporting date, the appropriateness of the classification is reassessed.
Investments in debt securities are classified as held to maturity and measured
at amortized cost in the financial statements only if management has the
positive intent and ability to hold those securities to maturity. Securities
that are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near
term are classified as trading and measured at fair value in the financial
statements with unrealized gains and losses included in earnings. Securities not
classified as either held to maturity or trading are classified as available for
sale and measured at fair value in the financial statements with unrealized
gains and losses reported, net of tax, as a component of accumulated other
comprehensive income (loss) until realized. Gains and losses on sales of
securities are determined using the specific-identification method. The Company
has classified all securities as available for sale at June 30, 2000. This
allows the Company to manage its investment portfolio more effectively and to
enhance the average yield on the portfolio.

     Securities totaled $678.9 million at June 30, 2000, an increase of
$26.3 million from $652.5 million at December 31, 1999. The yield on the
securities portfolio for the six months ended June 30, 2000 was 6.71% while the
yield was 6.24% for the six months ended June 30, 1999.

     The Company has no mortgage-backed securities that have been issued by
non-agency entities. Included in the Company's mortgage-backed securities at
June 30, 2000 were $252.5 million in agency issued collateral mortgage
obligations.

     At June 30, 2000, $479.3 million of the mortgage-backed securities held by
the Company had final maturities of more than 10 years. At June 30, 2000,
approximately $28.3 million of the Company's mortgage-backed securities earned
interest at floating rates and repriced within one year, and accordingly were
less susceptible to declines in value should interest rates increase.

  PREPAID EXPENSES AND OTHER ASSETS

     Total prepaid expenses and other assets were $100.9 million at June 30,
2000, an increase of $14.1 million from $86.8 million at December 31, 1999.
Significant components within prepaid expenses and other assets include the cash
value of bank owned life insurance of $27.3 million and accounts receivable
purchased of $23.3 million.

  DEPOSITS

     The Company offers a variety of deposit accounts having a wide range of
interest rates and terms. The Company's deposits consist of demand, savings, NOW
accounts, money market and time accounts. The Company relies primarily on
advertising, competitive pricing policies and customer service to attract and
retain these deposits. As of June 30, 2000, the Company had less than 6% of its
deposits classified as brokered funds and does not anticipate any significant
increase. Deposits provide the primary source of funding for the Company's
lending and investment activities, and the interest paid for deposits must be
managed carefully to control the level of interest expense.

     The Company's ratio of average non-interest bearing demand deposits to
average total deposits for the periods ended June 30, 2000 and December 31,
1999, was 27% for both periods.

  LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     Liquidity involves the Company's ability to raise funds to support asset
growth or reduce assets to meet deposit withdrawals and other payment
obligations, to maintain reserve requirements and otherwise to operate the
Company on an ongoing basis. For the six months ended June 30, 2000, the
Company's liquidity needs have primarily been met by growth in deposits.

     The Company's risk-based capital ratios including Leverage Capital, Tier 1
Risk-Based Capital and the Total Risk-Based Capital Ratio were 7.84%, 9.39% and
10.28%, respectively, at June 30, 2000.

  OTHER MATTERS

     In June 1998, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133,
ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES, as amended, was
issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board to establish accounting and
reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative
instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. SFAS
No. 133 requires that an entity recognize those instruments at fair value. If
certain conditions are met, a derivative may be specifically designated as
(a) a hedge of the exposure to changes in the fair value of a recognized asset
or liability or an unrecognized firm commitment, (b) a hedge of the exposure to
variable cash flows of a forecasted transaction, or (c) a hedge of the foreign
currency exposure of a net investment in a foreign operation, an unrecognized
firm commitment, an available-for-sale security, or a
foreign-currency-denominated forecasted transaction. The accounting for the
changes in the fair value of a derivative depends on the intended use of the
derivative and the resulting designation. The standard is effective for all
fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. The Company is evaluating the effect
of this pronouncement on the Company's consolidated financial position, results
of operations and cash flows.
