                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)

Note A Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of IBW Financial
Corporation and Subsidiary (the Company) have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and
with the instructions to Form 10-QSB. Accordingly, they do not include all the
information and footnotes required for complete financial statements. In the
opinion of management, all adjustments and reclassifications consistently, of a
normal and recurring nature, considered necessary for a fair presentation have
been included. Operating results for the three month period ended March 31,
2000, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the
year ended December 31, 2000. The unaudited consolidated financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and
footnotes for the year-ended December 31, 1999.

Note B: Prospective Accounting Pronouncement

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended by SFAS No. 137, Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - Deferral of the Effective Date
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.

Overview

Formal Agreement with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC).

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
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. See also the section referred to as
"Formal Agreement" in the latter part of Management's Discussion and Analysis.

Financial

IBW Financial Corporation's net income for the first quarter of 2000 totaled
$596, an increase of $306, or 106% from $290 for March 1999. This was the result
of an increase in net interest income of $485 an increase of $93 in non-interest
income, and a decrease in the provision for loan losses of $100, offset by an
increase of $275 in non-interest expense and an increase of $97 in taxes. Return
on average assets (ROAA), and return on average shareholder's equity (ROAE)
through the first quarters of 2000 and 1999 were .90% and 13.28%, (.42%) and
(6.40%), respectively.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2000 increased $485, or
18% compared to the same period last year. This increase is attributed primarily
to increased income and volume in collateralized mortgage obligations, loans and
non-taxable securities, and decreases in income and volume of U.S. government
agency securities and federal funds sold. The average balance of
interest-earning assets for the three month period ending March 31, 2000
decreased $10 million or 4% to $246 million compared to $25 million for the
three month period ended March 31 1999. However, the average yield on average
interest-earning assets increased by 94 basis points to 7.77% for the three
months ended period March 31, 2000 compared to 6.83% 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 larger level of loans.

Net loans averaged $107 million during the first quarter of 2000 compared to
$102 million of the first quarter of 1999, reflecting an increase of $5 million.
Interest and fees on loans increased $159 or 7% to $2.4 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2000 compared to $2.3 million for the same period last
year. Additionally, the average yield on net loans increased 18 basis points to
9.21% for the three month ended March 31, 2000 compared to 9.03% for the same
period last year. The increase in loans primarily reflects growth in the
commercial real estate sector.

Taxable securities averaged $116 million during the first quarter of 2000
compared to $126 million for the first quarter of 1999, reflecting a decrease of
$10 million. Interest income from taxable securities increased $206 or 15% to
$1.8 million for the three month ended March 31, 2000 compared to $1.7 million
for the same period last year. While the average balance and income increased,
the average yield on taxable securities increased 119 basis points to 6.51% for
the three month ended March 31, 2000 compared to 5.32% for the same period last
year.

Non-taxable securities averaged $18 million during the first quarter of 2000
compared to $8 million for the first quarter of 1999, reflecting an increase of
$10 million. Interest income from non-taxable securities increased $189 or 111%
to $359

                                      -7-
<PAGE>

for the three month ended March 31, 2000 compared to $170 for the same period
last year. The yield on non-taxable securities decreased 43 basis points to
8.11% for the three months ended March 31, 2000 compared to 8.54% for the same
period last year.

Federal funds sold averaged $4 million during the first quarter of 2000 compared
to $19 million for the first quarter of 1999, reflecting a decrease of $15
million. Interest income from federal funds sold decreased $161 to $60 for the
three months ended March 31, 2000 compared to $182 for the same period last
year. The yield on federal funds sold increased 96 basis points to 5.58% for the
three month ended March 31, 2000 compared to 4.62% for the same period last
year. The increase in the yield on federal funds sold reflects the increase in
market rates.

Average interest-bearing liabilities decreased $13 million or 7% to $186 million
for the three month ended March 31, 2000 compared to $199 million for the same
period last year. The average cost on interest-bearing liabilities decreased 11
basis points to 2.94% for the three month ended March 31, 2000 compared to 3.05%
for the same period last year. The decrease in average interest-bearing
liabilities are centered primarily in time deposits reflecting a decrease of $11
million for the three month ended 2000, as the cost of these deposits decreased
$167 over the same period. The average cost on repurchase agreements increased
121 basis points to 4.71% for the three month ended March 31, 2000 compared to
3.50%.

The interest rate spread increased 1.04 basis points to 4.83% for the three
months ended March 31, 2000 from 3.79%for the same period in 1999, and is
primarily attributable to lower market rates for deposits, higher levels of
rates for securities and loans, and higher volume loans, offset by higher rates
in repurchase agreements.

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 three months ended March 31, 2000 compared to $100
for the three months ended March 31, 1999. The decrease in the provision for
loan losses is primarily attributable to the decrease in loans with potential
credit problems. Non-performing assets increased slightly to $3.5 million at
March 31, 2000 from $3.4 million at year end 1999. Loans with potential credit
problems decreased $425 or 6% to $6.2 million at month ended March 31, 2000 from
$6.6 million at year end 1999. 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 $93, or 5%, to $951 for the three months ended
March 31, 2000 compared to $858 for March 31, 1999. Service charges on deposit
accounts increased $49 or 8% to $671 for the three month ended March 31, 2000
compared to $622 for the same period last year. Other fee income increased $34
to $237 for the first 3 months of 2000, from $203 for the comparable period in
1999.

Non-interest Expense

Non-interest expenses increased $275 to $3.4 million for the three month ended
March 31, 2000 compared to $3.1 million for the same period last year. The
composition of the increase consists of an increase of $343 in salary and
employee benefits, and an increase of $40 in furniture and equipment, offset by
a decrease of $63 in other expenses, a decrease of $21 in advertising, a
decrease of $12 in data processing, and a decrease of $12 in occupancy expenses.

The increase in salary and benefits for the three months ended March 31, 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 quarter of 1999.

Provision for Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes for the first quarter of 2000 was $194, compared
to $97 a year ago due to higher income before taxes.

Financial Overview

Total assets, at $265 million, remained the same for March 31, 2000 compared to
December 31, 1999. The change in the composition of the balance sheet primarily
reflected an increase of $8 million in loans and a decrease of $6 million in
securities. Total shareholders' equity increased $405 due to the increase in
retained earnings of $389 and a decrease in the unrealized loss on
available-for-sale securities of $16. Preferred stock dividends of $6 and $201
in common stock dividends were declared during the first quarter of 2000.

The carrying value of the Company's securities portfolio decreased $6 million to
$132 million at March 31, 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 March 31, 2000.
The mortgage-backed securities portfolio had a weighted-average remaining
maturity of 3.56 years at March 31, 2000, changing very slightly 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 $4.0 million or 3.5% of total loans at March
31, 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
reflects primarily the increase in ending loans. Non-performing assets increased
$122 or 4% to $3,481 from $3,359 at year-end 1999. Loans with potential credit
problems (excluding non-performing assets) decreased to $6,162 at March 31, 2000
from $6,587 at year-end 1999, representing a decrease of $425 or 6 %. The ratio
of allowance for possible loan losses to total loans decreased to 3.52% at March
31, 2000 from 3.90% at year-end 1999, due largely to the increase in total loan
volume. At March 31, 2000 and year-end 1999, non-performing assets represented
1.31% and 1.27% 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.

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 three months ended March 31, 2000 and the year ended
     December 31, 1999 for non-accrual loans had the loans been current in
     accordance with their original terms was $59 and $274, respectively.

At March 31, 2000, there were $6,162 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. This represents a decrease of $425 or 6% from year-end 1999.
Included in the total are eighteen loans, totaling $5,413 fully collateralized
by real estate, four of which represent $3,382 or 62% of the total. The
remaining $749 consists of six commercial loans, two at $596 or 80% of the
remaining amount, 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.

                                      -12-

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.
