Item  2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis

General

Ridgestone Financial Services, Inc. (the "Company") was formed in May 1994 under
the laws of the State of Wisconsin for the purpose of becoming the bank holding
company of Ridgestone Bank (the "Bank").

The Bank was capitalized on December 6, 1995, and commenced operation on
December 7, 1995. The Bank was organized as a Wisconsin chartered commercial
bank with depository accounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation. The Bank provides full service commercial and consumer banking
services in Brookfield, Wisconsin, and adjacent communities.

During the third quarter of fiscal 2000, the Bank agreed to enter into a
Memorandum of Understanding (the "Memorandum") with the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation and the State of Wisconsin Department of Financial
Institutions, as previously disclosed. Management has devoted significant time
to the issues raised by the Memorandum and believes that the Bank is in
compliance with substantially all of the conditions and covenants contained in
the Memorandum and intends to continue to comply therewith. Management does not
currently anticipate that the Memorandum will result in any material adverse
effect on the results of operations or financial condition of the Company or the
Bank.

In October 2000, the Bank received regulatory approval to form a real estate
subsidiary. Management intends to utilize this subsidiary in liquidating the
parcel of property the Bank acquired in October 1997 when the entity owning the
underlying real estate assets securing a loan with the Bank filed for
bankruptcy.

The following is a discussion of the Company's Financial Condition and Results
of Operations as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000.


Financial Condition

Total Assets. Total assets of the Company as of September 30, 2000 were
$73,081,998 compared to $64,838,223 as of December 31, 1999.

Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash and due from banks and interest bearing
deposits, which represents cash maintained at the Bank and funds that the Bank
and the Company have deposited in other financial institutions, was $3,093,182
at September 30, 2000, compared to $2,664,584 as of December 31, 1999. The Bank
reported $9,841,000 of federal funds sold (which are inter-bank funds with daily
liquidity) as of September 30, 2000 compared to $4,532,173 as of December 31,
1999. The $428,598 increase in cash and due from banks and interest-bearing
deposits and the $5,308,827 increase in federal funds sold were primarily a
result of deposit growth during the period resulting from the Company's
marketing efforts to increase deposits to better match deposit growth with
increased loan demand.

Investment Securities. The Company's investment portfolio consists of (i)
securities purchased with the intent to hold the securities until they mature
and (ii) securities placed in the available for sale category which may be
liquidated to provide cash for operating or financing purposes. The
held-to-maturity securities portfolio was $250,000 at September 30, 2000
compared to $999,381 at December 31, 1999, a decrease of $749,381. The decrease
was primarily a result of maturing securities. The available-for-sale securities
portfolio was $59,177 at September 30, 2000 compared to $128,500 at December 31,
1999.


                                       6

Loans. Total loans prior to the allowance for estimated loan losses were
$53,944,386 as of September 30, 2000, compared to $51,692,567 as of December 31,
1999, an increase of $2,251,819 or 4%.

At September 30, 2000, the mix of the loan portfolio included Commercial loans
of $18,140,000 or 33% of total loans; Commercial Real Estate loans of
$13,804,000 or 26% of total loans; Residential Real Estate loans of $19,770,000
or 37% of total loans; and Consumer loans of $2,230,000 or 4% of total loans.

At December 31, 1999, the mix of the loan portfolio included Commercial loans of
$19,086,000 or 37% of total loans; Commercial Real Estate loans of $13,948,000
or 27% of total loans; Residential Real Estate loans of $15,656,000 or 30% of
total loans; and Consumer loans of $3,002,000 or 6% of total loans.

Some loans were reclassified during 2000 to conform more closely to regulatory
reporting classifications. The balances shown above reflect this
reclassification.

Allowance for Loan Losses. The allowance for estimated loan losses was $696,206
or 1.29% of gross loans on September 30, 2000, compared to $653,270 or 1.26 % of
gross loans at December 31, 1999. In accordance with Financial Accounting
Standards Board Statements No. 5 and 114, the allowance is provided for losses
that have potentially been incurred based on the Bank's outstanding loan balance
as of the balance sheet date. The Bank evaluates the adequacy of the loan loss
reserve based on past events and current economic conditions, and does not
include the effects of potential losses on specific loans or groups of loans
that are related to future events or expected changes in economic conditions
which are then unknown to the Bank. For additional information regarding the
Company's allowance for loan losses, see "Results of Operations - Provision for
Loan Losses" below.

In the third quarter of 2000, the Bank charged $8,847 against the loan loss
reserve, which related to a consumer loan charge-off and a business loan related
to a customer that declared bankruptcy. During the third quarter of 2000, the
Bank recovered $24,590 related to a prior loan charge-off which was added to the
loan loss reserve.

On September 30, 2000, the Company had $706,214 in Other Real Estate Owned
compared to $905,938 on December 31, 1999. The decrease was the result of the
sale of certain real estate assets owned by the Bank.

Deposits. In early 2000, the Bank began a marketing campaign directed towards
increasing deposits. The Bank was successful in generating deposit growth of
$7,834,299 or 14%, with total deposits as of September 30, 2000 at $65,298,690
compared to $57,464,391 at December 31, 1999.

Liquidity. For banks, liquidity generally represents the ability to meet
withdrawals from deposits and the funding of loans. The assets that provide
liquidity are cash, federal funds sold and short-term loans and securities.
Liquidity needs are influenced by economic conditions, interest rates and
competition. Management believes the Bank will be able to meet liquidity demands
as the Bank's loan growth continues. The loan-to-deposit funds ratio prior to
loan loss reserve on September 30, 2000 was 82.61% compared to 89.96% at
December 31, 1999.

Asset/Liability Management. Closely related to liquidity management is the
management of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. The
Company manages its rate sensitivity position to avoid wide swings in net
interest margins and to minimize risk due to changes in interest rates.

Changes in net interest income, other than volume related changes, arise when
interest rates on assets reprice in a time frame or interest rate environment
that is different from the repricing period for


                                       7
<PAGE>

liabilities. Changes in net interest income also arise from changes in the mix
of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.


Results of Operations

Net Income. Net income before income taxes for the three-month period ended
September 30, 2000 increased by $29,638, or 107%, to $57,220 as compared to net
income before income taxes of $27,582 in the same period of 1999. For the
nine-month period ended September 30, 2000, the Company reported net income
before income taxes of $202,448, up 153% as compared to net income before income
taxes of $79,972 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999.

For the three-month period ended September 30, 2000, the Company reported
after-tax net income of $43,153, compared to after-tax net income of $122,422
for the three months ended September 30, 1999. After-tax net income was $148,389
for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 as compared to after-tax net income
of $370,822 for the same period in 1999.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 1999, the Company
recognized an income tax benefit of $94,840 and $290,850, respectively, related
to the carryforward of prior years' losses. As of the end of 1999, all of the
Company's loss carryforward benefits had been recognized. As a result, after-tax
earnings for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000 do not include a
tax benefit, but rather a tax expense.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income before provision for loan losses for
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000 was $603,469 and $1,881,953
compared to $635,120 and $1,712,920 for the same periods in 1999, a decline of
5% and an improvement of 10% respectively, in each period. The Company's net
interest margin improved from 3.73% at September 30, 1999 to 4.27% at September
30, 2000. Total interest income for the three and nine months ended September
30, 2000 increased by $119,918 and $305,999 respectively, as compared with the
same periods in 1999, while total interest expense increased by $151,569 for the
three months ended September 30, 2000 and increased by $136,966 for the nine
months ended September 30, 2000.

Provision for Loan Losses. The provision for loan losses is based on
management's evaluation of factors such as the local and national economy and
the risks associated with the loans in the portfolio. During the three month
period ended September 30, 2000, management felt the loan loss reserve was
adequate, and therefore no provision was made to the loan loss reserve in the
third quarter.

Non-Interest Income. Total non-interest income was $83,158 for the three months
ended September 30, 2000 compared to $87,369 for the same period in 1999, a
decrease of 5%. Total non-interest income was $274,164 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2000 compared to $247,250 for the same period in 1999, an increase
of 11%. This was due to lower mortgage loan demand which caused secondary market
mortgage fee income to decline from the prior year, offset by an increase in
brokerage services fee income and rental income from the building the Bank
purchased in May 2000 which houses the Bank premises.

Non-Interest Expense. Total non-interest expenses (excluding any gains or losses
on the sale of securities and assets) were $634,407 for the three months ended
September 30, 2000 compared to $555,842 for the same period in 1999, an increase
of 14%. Total non-interest expenses (excluding any gains or losses on the sale
of securities and assets) were $1,928,596 for the nine months ended September
30, 2000 compared to $1,633,474 for the same period in 1999, an increase of 18%.
The increase in non-interest expenses is primarily attributed to higher salary
expense relating to increased staffing in the loan area and additional expenses
related to the purchase of the building housing the Bank premises. Also, as

                                       8

the Bank continues to grow, the expenses associated with its audit are
increasing which led the Bank to begin accruing those expenses throughout the
year as opposed to paying them as incurred. As a result, operating expenses in
the third quarter of 2000 include additional accrued expenses associated with
the upcoming audit as well as certain overlapping expenses associated with the
1999 audit.
