                                                ======              ======

         The  provision  for loan  losses  charged to expense is based upon past
         loan loss  experience  and an  evaluation  of  estimated  losses in the
         current loan  portfolio,  including the  evaluation  of impaired  loans
         under Statements of Financial  Accounting  Standards  ("SFAS") Nos. 114
         and 118 issued by the Financial  Accounting  Standards Board. A loan is
         considered  to be impaired  when,  based upon current  information  and
         events,  it is probable  that the Company will be unable to collect all
         amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan.

         An insignificant delay or insignificant shortfall in amount of payments
         does not necessarily result in a loan being identified as impaired. For
         this  purpose,   delays  less  than  90  days  are   considered  to  be
         insignificant.

         Impairment losses are included in the provision for loan losses.  Large
         groups of smaller balance, homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated
         for impairment,  except for those loans  restructured  under a troubled
         debt restructuring. Loans collectively evaluated for impairment include
         consumer loans and residential  real estate loans, and are not included
         in the data that follow:

         December 31, 1999, respectively.


(5)      Other Comprehensive Income

         The Company  classifies  items of other  comprehensive  income by their
         nature in a financial statement and displays the accumulated balance of
         other  comprehensive  income  separately  from  retained  earnings  and
         additional  paid-in  capital in the equity  section of a  statement  of
         financial position.  Amounts categorized as other comprehensive  income
         represent  net  unrealized  gains or  losses on  investment  securities
         available for sale,  net of income taxes.  Other  comprehensive  income
         (losses)  for the  three-month  periods  ended  March 31, 2000 and 1999
         amounted  to  $2,546,000  (unaudited)  and  ($3,870,000)   (unaudited),
         respectively.

(6)      Earnings Per Share

         Basic  earnings per share is computed by dividing  income  available to
         shareholders (net income),  by the weighted average number of shares of
         common stock outstanding during the period.  Diluted earnings per share
         is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted  average number of
         shares of common  stock  outstanding  increased by the number of common
         shares that are assumed to have been  purchased  with the proceeds from
         the  exercise of the options  (treasury  stock  method)  along with the
         assumed tax benefit from the exercise of non-qualified  options.  These
         purchases were assumed to have been made at the average market price of
         the common  stock,  which is based on the  average  price  received  on
         common shares sold.  Retroactive  recognition  has been given to market
         values,  common  stock  outstanding  and  potential  common  shares for
         periods prior to the date of the Company's stock dividends.

Item 2:
                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Financial Condition

         Total  assets at March 31,  2000  increased  by $64.2  million to $2.05
billion as compared to $1.98  billion at December  31,  1999.  The  increase was
primarily  due to an increase  in net loans of $61.4  million and an increase in
cash and due from banks of $4.8 million.

         Cash and cash equivalents increased $5.5 million, from $69.4 million at
December 31, 1999 to $74.9 million at March 31, 2000.

         Investment  securities available for sale decreased $1.4 million,  from
$834.7  million at December 31, 1999 to $833.3  million at March 31,  2000.  The
decrease was primarily the result of principal repayments and maturities.

         Net loans at March 31, 2000 amounted to $962.1 million,  an increase of
$61.4  million  from $900.7  million at December  31,  1999.  The  increase  was
primarily from increased  originations of commercial and industrial  loans.  The
ratio of non-performing assets to total loans and real estate owned at March 31,
2000 was 0.36%  compared to 0.54% at December  31,  1999.  The  decrease was the
result of a lower  amount of  non-accrual  loans and a higher  level of loans at
March 31, 2000.  The ratio of allowance for loan losses to total  non-performing
loans was 337.28% at March 31, 2000  compared to 199.05% at December  31,  1999.
The  increase in this ratio was the result of a higher  level of  allowance  for
loan losses and a lower amount of non-accrual loans at March 31, 2000. The ratio
of allowance for loan losses to total loans was 0.97% at March 31, 2000 compared
to 0.96% at December 31, 1999.

         Excess of cost over fair value of assets acquired  decreased $2 million
from $60.7 million at December 31, 1999 to $58.7 million at March 31, 2000.  The
decrease was a result of scheduled amortization.

         Total  liabilities at March 31, 2000 amounted to $1.89 billion compared
to $1.83 billion at December 31, 1999, an increase of $59.8 million.

         Total  deposits  amounted  to $1.33  billion at March 31,  2000 a $39.8
million increase over December 31, 1999 deposits of $1.29 billion.

         Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank amounted to $119.2  million at
March 31, 2000  compared to $119.7  million at December  31, 1999, a decrease of
$510,000.  Federal  funds  purchased at March 31, 2000  amounted to $5.3 million
compared to $5.7 million at December 31, 1999.

         Securities  sold under  agreements  to  repurchase  amounted  to $426.9
million at March 31, 2000  compared to $407.9  million at December 31, 1999,  an
increase  of  $19.0  million.  The  increase   represented   increased  customer
repurchase agreements.

         Total shareholders' equity grew by $4.9 million,  from $91.1 million at
December  31,  1999,  to $96.0  million  at March 31,  2000.  The  increase  was
primarily  the  result  of first  quarter  earnings  amounting  to $2.3  million
augmented by a $2.5  million  improvement  in  accumulated  other  comprehensive
income.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         Liquidity  management is a daily and long-term business  function.  The
Company's  liquidity,  represented  in part by cash and cash  equivalents,  is a
product of its  operating,  investing  and financing  activities.  Proceeds from
repayment  of  loans,  maturities  of  investment  securities,  net  income  and
increases in deposits and borrowings are the primary sources of liquidity of the
Company.

         The Company has  experienced a significant  increase in commercial loan
demand and  expects  such demand to continue  for the  remainder  of the current
fiscal year. Historically,  management has demonstrated the ability to meet this
increased  need for funds by attracting  higher levels of deposits,  engaging in
repurchase  agreements,  raising  capital and utilizing its lines of credit with
other financial  institutions.  It also has the ability to liquidate portions of
its investment portfolio.

         The increase of commercial loans has the effect of increasing the level
of risk-based assets and thus lowering the Company's  risk-based capital ratios.
In general,  commercial  loans are  categorized  as having a 100% risk weighting
using the calculations required by the Company's regulators.  Until its issuance
of Trust Preferred Securities and additional issuance of common shares, the rate
at which  commercial  loans have grown has outpaced the internal  growth rate of
the Company's capital.

         It is the Company's  intent to maintain  adequate  levels of risk-based
capital. Management monitors the Company's capital levels, and when appropriate,
will recommend  additional  capital  raising  efforts to the Company's  board of
directors.



Comparison  of  Operating  Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2000 and
1999.

         General.  Net income  decreased  by $84,000 for the three  months ended
March 31, 2000 to $2.3  million  from $2.4  million for the three  months  ended
March 31, 1999  primarily  due to an increase in other  expenses.  Net  interest
income  increased  $3.5  million and the  provision  for loan  losses  increased
$118,000 for the three  months ended March 31, 2000  compared to the same period
in 1999. Other income decreased by $55,000 to $2.27 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2000 as compared  to $2.33  million for the three  months  ended
March 31, 1999.  Other  expenses  increased by $3.4 million to $13.5 million for
the three months ended March 31, 2000 as compared to $10.1 million for the three
months ended March 31, 1999.

         Net Interest  Income.  The increase in net interest income was due to a
$10.7 million  increase in interest  income  partially  offset by a $7.2 million
increase in interest expense.

         Interest  Income.  Interest income for the three months ended March 31,
2000 increased approximately $10.7 million, or 42.4%, from $25.3 million for the
same period in 1999 to $36.0  million in 2000.  The increase was  primarily  the
result of an increase of $5.5  million in interest  and fees on loans  resulting
from  internal  growth and $4.8  million in  interest on  investment  securities
resulting from the deployment of cash received from branch acquisitions into the
Company's investment portfolio.

         Interest Expense. Interest expense for the three months ended March 31,
2000  increased  approximately  $7.2  million,  from $13.5  million for the same
period in 1999 to $20.7  million in 2000.  This  increase was primarily due to a
$3.5  million   increase  in  interest  on  deposit   accounts   resulting  from
significantly  higher deposit  balances due to acquisitions  and internal growth
and a $3.7 increase on borrowed funds resulting from higher levels of securities
sold under agreements to repurchase.

         Provision  for Loan Losses.  For the three months ended March 31, 2000,
the  provision  for loan losses  amounted to $785,000,  an increase of $118,000,
compared to $667,000 for the same period in 1999.

                                       10
<PAGE>

Management  continually  reviews  the  adequacy of the loan loss  reserve  using
guidelines promulgated by the Bank's primary regulator.

         Other Income. Other income decreased $55,000 for the three-month period
ended March 31, 2000 compared to the three-month period ended March 31, 1999. In
most part,  the decrease was a result of lower fees being  generated by mortgage
banking  operations,  offset  by an  increase  in  service  charges  on  deposit
accounts.  In addition,  losses on the sale of investment securities amounted to
$2,000 for the three months  ended March 31, 2000  compared to a gain of $49,000
in the same period of 1999.

         Other Expenses. Other expenses increased approximately $3.4 million, to
$13.5  million  for the three  months  ended March 31, 2000 as compared to $10.1
million  for the same  period in 1999.  Of the  increase,  $1.2  million  was in
salaries and employee benefits,  $425,000 was in occupancy expense, $597,000 was
in equipment  expense,  $501,000 was in amortization of excess of cost over fair
value of assets  acquired,  $125,000 was in  professional  fees and services and
$512,000 was in other  miscellaneous  expenses.  The increase in other  expenses
reflects the Company's continued strategy to support its expansion. Salaries and
benefits  increased  due to  additional  staff  positions in  financial  service
centers,  lending,  loan review and other support  departments.  The increase in
occupancy, equipment, data processing expenses and postage and supplies were the
result of internal growth and the effect of the Company's acquisitions.

         Income  Taxes.  Applicable  income  taxes  increased  $4,000  for   the
three months ended March 31, 2000 as compared to the same period in 1999.

Item 3:  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Asset and Liability Management

The  Company's  exposure to interest  rate risk results from the  difference  in
maturities on interest-bearing  liabilities and interest-earning  assets and the
volatility  of  interest  rates.  Because  the  Company's  assets  have a longer
maturity than its liabilities, the Company's earnings will tend to be negatively
affected  during periods of rising  interest  rates.  Conversely,  this mismatch
should  benefit  the  Company  during  periods  of  declining   interest  rates.
Management  monitors the  relationship  between the interest rate sensitivity of
the Company's assets and liabilities. In this regard, the Company emphasizes the
origination of short-term  commercial  loans and revolving home equity loans and
de-emphasizes the origination of long-term mortgage loans.

Gap Analysis

Banks have become increasingly  concerned with the extent to which they are able
to match maturities of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.
Such  matching is  facilitated  by examining the extent to which such assets and
liabilities are interest-rate sensitive and by monitoring a bank's interest rate
sensitivity  gap.  An asset  or  liability  is  considered  to be  interest-rate
sensitive  if it will  mature or reprice  within a  specific  time  period.  The
interest  rate  sensitivity  gap is defined  as the  excess of  interest-earning
assets maturing or repricing within a specific time period over interest-bearing
liabilities  maturing or repricing within that time period.  On a monthly basis,
the Company  monitors its gap,  primarily its six-month and one-year  maturities
and works to maintain its gap within a range that does not exceed a negative 25%
of total assets.  The Company  attempts to maintain its ratio of  rate-sensitive
assets to rate-sensitive liabilities between 75% to 125%.

The Asset/Liability  Committee of the Banks' Board of Directors monitors the gap
position and interest rate risk. The Banks use simulation  models to measure the
impact of potential  changes of up to 200 basis points in interest  rates on the
net interest income of the Company.  Sudden changes to interest rates should not
have a material impact to the Company's results of operations.  Should the Banks
experience a positive or negative  mismatch in excess of the approved  range, it
has a  number  of  remedial  options.  It has  the  ability  to  reposition  its
investment  portfolio to include  securities  with more  advantageous  repricing
and/or  maturity  characteristics.  It can attract  variable- or fixed-rate loan
products as appropriate.  It can also price deposit products to attract deposits
with maturity characteristics that can lower its exposure to interest rate risk.
Management of the Company may also consider  employing hedging and/or derivative
instruments within defined limits to manage its interest rate risk.

At March 31,  2000,  the Company  had a negative  position  with  respect to its
exposure to interest rate risk: total  interest-bearing  liabilities maturing or
repricing  within one year exceeded total  interest-earning  assets  maturing or
repricing  during the same period by $361.6 million.  This represents a negative
cumulative   one-year  gap  ratio  of  17.68%.   As  a  result,   the  yield  on
interest-earning  assets of the  Company  should  adjust to changes in  interest
rates at a slightly slower rate than the cost of interest-bearing liabilities.


                                       12

The following table summarizes the maturity and repricing characteristics of the
Company's interest-earning assets and interest-bearing  liabilities at March 31,
2000.  All amounts are  categorized  by their actual  maturity or repricing date
with the exception of interest-bearing  demand deposits and savings deposits. As
a result of prior  experience  during  periods of rate  volatility  resulting in
insignificant  changes to levels of core deposits and  management's  estimate of
future rate  sensitivities,  the Company allocates the  interest-bearing  demand
deposits  and  savings  deposits  into  categories  noted  below.   Management's
allocation is based on the estimated effective duration.
