                  ENTERBANK HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                  Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(1)   BASIS OF PRESENTATION
      The accompanying consolidated financial statements of Enterbank
      Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company" or "Enterbank") are
      unaudited and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
      financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company's
      Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999.
      In the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting of normal
      recurring accruals considered necessary for a fair presentation of the
      results of operations for the interim periods presented herein have
      been included. Operating results for the nine month period ended
      September 30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results that
      may be expected for any other interim period or for the year ending
      December 31, 2000.

      The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Enterbank
      Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany
      accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

      Certain amounts in the consolidated financial statements for the year
      ended December 31, 1999 have been reclassified to conform to the 2000
      presentation.  Such reclassifications had no effect on previously
      reported consolidated net income or shareholders' equity.

(2)   MERGER BETWEEN ENTERBANK HOLDINGS, INC. AND COMMERCIAL GUARANTY
      BANCSHARES, INC.
      On June 23, 2000 the Company completed the merger transaction between
      Commercial Guaranty Bancshares, Inc. ("CGB"), the bank holding company
      for First Commercial Bank, N.A., headquartered in Overland Park, Kansas,
      and Enterbank Holdings, Inc. The Company issued 1,794,264 shares of its
      common stock in exchange for 100% of the outstanding common stock of
      CGB. The merger was a tax-free reorganization for federal income tax
      purposes and was accounted for as a pooling of interests; therefore, all
      recorded amounts have been restated to reflect this acquisition.

      Following are the total assets, net income, net interest income, basic
      and diluted earnings per share for the Company and CGB prior to the
      restatement as of March 31, 2000, which was the last quarter before
      the merger:

(3)   SEGMENT DISCLOSURE
      To help Enterbank more effectively manage the new geographic area in
      which it operates, management has taken a regional management approach
      since the merger with CGB took place.  All earlier periods have been
      restated to reflect this change in management evaluation.  The regions
      are evaluated separately on their individual performance, as well as
      their contribution to Enterbank as a whole.  The corporate, other
      intercompany, and reclassifications segment include the holding company,
      merchant banking activities and trust preferred securities activities.
      Enterbank incurs general corporate expenses and owns Enterprise Bank,
      First Commercial Bank, N.A. and Enterprise Merchant Banc Inc.
      Enterprise Merchant Banc Inc. offers merchant banking and venture
      capital services through its investment in Enterprise Merchant Banc LLC.
      The majority of the activity for the Kansas City region occurs in First
      Commercial Bank, N.A., while the majority of the activity for the
      St. Louis region occurs in Enterprise Bank.  The Banks provide similar
      products and services in two defined geographic areas. The products and
      services offered include a broad range of commercial and personal
      banking services, including certificates of deposit, individual
      retirement and other time deposit accounts, checking and other demand
      deposit accounts, interest checking accounts, savings accounts and money
      market accounts.  Loans include commercial, financial and agricultural,
      real estate construction and development, commercial and residential
      real estate, consumer and installment loans.  Other financial services
      include mortgage banking, debit and credit cards, automatic teller
      machines, internet account access, safe deposit boxes, trust and private
      banking services and cash management services.  The revenues generated
      by each business segment consist primarily of interest income, generated
      from the loan and investment security portfolios, and service charges
      and fees, generated from the deposit products and services.  The
      products and services are offered to customers primarily within their
      respective geographic areas, with the exception of loan participations
      executed between the subsidiary banks. The St. Louis region includes
      Enterprise Financial Advisors, which provides financial planning and
      trust services.

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

        SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT UNDER THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION
                              REFORM ACT OF 1995

Readers should note that in addition to the historical information contained
herein, this Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements which are
inherently subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results
to differ materially from those contemplated by such statements.  Factors
that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not
limited to, the effect that changes in interest rates and cost of funds have
on earnings and assets, the level of loan defaults and delinquencies, the
ability to successfully grow and realize profits from commercial banking
operations and strategic non-banking lines of business, concentrations of
loans in two geographic areas, the ability to retain key personnel, the
degree and nature of competition, and changes in government regulation of our
business, as well as those facts discussed in the Company's Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999.

                                 INTRODUCTION

The discussion summarizes the significant factors affecting the consolidated
financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and cash flows of the
Company for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2000
compared to the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1999 and the
year ended December 31, 1999.  This discussion should be read in conjunction
with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999.
All 1999 amounts have been restated to reflect the CGB acquisition.

                             FINANCIAL CONDITION

Total assets at September 30, 2000 were $691 million, an increase of $76
million, or 12%, over total assets of $615 million at December 31, 1999.
Loans and leases, net of unearned loan fees, were $535 million, an increase
of $54 million, or 11%, over total loans and leases of $481 million at
December 31, 1999.  The increase in loans and leases is in part attributable
to the Company's investment in additional business development officers.
Federal funds sold and investment securities were $116 million, an increase
of $15 million, or 15%, from total federal funds sold and investment
securities of $101 million at December 31, 1999.

Total deposits at September 30, 2000 were $616 million, an increase of $74
million or 14% over total deposits of $542 million at December 31, 1999.
The increase in deposits is primarily attributed to the addition of several
business development officers.

Total shareholders' equity at September 30, 2000 was $51 million, an increase
of $4 million over total shareholders' equity of $47 million at December 31,
1999.   The increase in equity is due to net income of $3.7 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 2000, and the exercise of incentive stock
options by employees, less dividends paid to shareholders.


    RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 AND 1999

Net income was $1,422,000 for the three month period ended September 30,
2000, an increase of 22% over net income of $1,169,000 for the same period in
fiscal 1999.  Basic earnings per share for the three-month periods ended
September 30, 2000 and 1999 were $0.16 and $0.13, respectively.  Diluted
earnings per share for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2000 and
1999 were $0.15 and $0.12, respectively.

NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income (on a tax-equivalent basis) was $7.3 million, or 4.58% of
average interest-earning assets, for the three months ended September 30,
2000, compared to $6.1 million, or 4.83% of average interest-earning assets,
for the same period in 1999.  The $1.2 million, or 20% increase in net
interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2000 resulted
primarily from a $134 million increase in average interest-earning assets to
$637 million, from $503 million during the same period in 1999.  The increase
in average interest-earning assets is attributable to the continued calling
efforts of the Company's relationship officers and sustained economic growth
in the local markets served by the Company.  The yield on average
interest-earning assets increased to 9.10% for the three month period ended
September 30, 2000 compared to 8.47% for the three month period ended
September 30, 1999.

The increase in asset yield was primarily due to a 1.25% increase in the
prime rate since July of 1999 and a general increase in average yields on
loans and investment securities. Average interest-earning assets increased to
94.98% of total assets for the three months ended September 30, 2000 from
93.86% for the same period in 1999.  The increase in net interest income was
offset by a $117 million increase in average interest-bearing liabilities to
$536 million for the three months ended September 30, 2000 from $419 million
during the same period in 1999.   The yield on interest-bearing liabilities
increased to 5.38% for the three months ended September 30, 2000 compared to
4.34% for the same period in 1999.  This increase is primarily attributed to
the above mentioned increases in the prime rate and the addition of $11
million in guaranteed preferred beneficial interest in EBH-subordinated
debentures.

The increase in the interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities was also
attributed to a change in the mix of liabilities from lower cost liabilities,
such as demand deposit and interest-bearing transaction accounts, to higher
cost liabilities, such as money market accounts, certificates of deposit, and
guaranteed preferred beneficial interests in EBH-subordinated debentures.
Total average interest-bearing liabilities increased to 79.87% of total
average assets for the three months ended September 30, 2000 from 78.20% for
the same period in 1999.

    RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 AND 1999

Net income was $3,706,000 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2000,
an increase of 18% over net income of $3,128,000 for the same period in
fiscal 1999.  Basic earnings per share for the nine-month periods ended
September 30, 2000 and 1999 were $0.41 and $0.35, respectively.  Diluted
earnings per share for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2000 and
1999 were $0.38 and $0.33, respectively.

NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income, presented on a tax-equivalent basis, was $20.9 million,
or 4.55% of average interest-earning assets, for the nine months ended
September 30, 2000 compared to $16.6 million, or 4.72% of average
interest-earning assets for the same period in 1999.  The $4.3 million, or
26% increase, in net interest income for the nine months ended September 30,
2000 resulted primarily from a $142 million increase in average
interest-earning assets to $613 million, from $471 million during the same
period in 1999.  The increase in interest-earning assets is attributable to
the continued calling efforts of the Company's relationship officers and
sustained economic growth in the local markets served by the Company.  The
yield on average interest-earning assets increased to 8.89% for the nine
month period ended September 30, 2000 compared to 8.35% for the nine month
period ended September 30, 1999.  The increase in asset yield was primarily
due to 1.25% increase in the prime rate since July of 1999.  Interest-earning
assets increased to 94.75% of total assets for the nine months ended
September 30, 2000 from 93.05% for the same period in 1999.

The increase in net interest income was offset by a $123 million increase in
average interest-bearing liabilities to $517 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 2000 from $394 million during the same period in 1999.
The yield on interest-bearing liabilities increased to 5.15% for the nine
months ended September 30, 2000 compared to 4.33% for the same period in
1999.  This increase is primarily attributed to the above mentioned increases
in the prime rate and the addition of $11 million in a guaranteed preferred
beneficial interests in EBH-subordinated debentures in 1999.  The increase in
the interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities was also attributed to a
change in the mix of liabilities.  Total interest-bearing liabilities
increased to 79.90% of total average assets for the nine months ended
September 30, 2000 from 77.86% for the same period in 1999.  This increase is
primarily attributed to the above mentioned guaranteed preferred beneficial
interests in EBH-subordinated debentures and an increase in money market
accounts and certificates of deposit.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

The provision for loan losses was $215,000 and $763,000 for the three month
and nine month periods ended September 30, 2000, respectively, compared to
$531,000 and $909,000 for the same periods in 1999.  The decrease in
provision for loan losses during the three month period ended September 30,
2000 as compared to the three month period ended September 30,1999 is due to
a decrease in loan growth during 2000 as compared to 1999.  The Company
experienced a $22 million decrease in loan growth for the three months ended
September 30, 2000 as compared to the same period in 1999.  During the three
month period ended September 30, 2000 the Company experienced loan growth of
$16 million as compared to $38 million in growth for the same period ended
September 30, 1999.

The decrease in provision for loan losses for the nine month period ended
September 30, 2000 as compared to the nine month period ended September 30,
1999 is due to a decrease of $56 million in loan growth between the periods.
The Company experienced $54 million in loan growth during the nine months
ended September 30, 2000 as compared to $110 million in loan growth during
the same period in 1999. The Company's asset quality remained strong with net
charge offs of $625,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 compared
to net charge offs of $164,000 for the same period in 1999.  The Company
charged off one $500,000 commercial loan in September of 2000, which
accounted for a substantial portion of the year to date net charge offs in
2000.

The Company's credit management policy and procedures focus on identifying,
measuring and controlling credit exposure.  These procedures employ a
lender-initiated system of rating credits, which is ratified in the loan
approval process and subsequently tested in internal loan reviews and
regulatory bank examinations.  The system requires rating all commercial
loans at the time they are made.

Adversely rated credits, including loans requiring close monitoring which
would not normally be considered criticized credits by regulators, are
included on a monthly loan watch list.  Loans may be added to the watch list
for reasons which are temporary and correctable, such as the absence of
current financial statements of the borrower or a deficiency in loan
documentation.  Other loans are added whenever any adverse circumstance is
detected which might affect the borrower's ability to meet the terms of the
loan.  This could be initiated by the delinquency of a scheduled loan
payment, a deterioration in the borrower's financial condition identified in
a review of periodic financial statements, a decrease in the value of the
collateral securing the loan, or a change in the economic environment in
which the borrower operates.

                                      16

<PAGE> 19

Loans on the watch list require detailed loan status reports prepared by the
responsible officer every four months, which are then discussed in formal
meetings with the loan review and loan administration staffs.  Downgrades of
loan risk ratings may be initiated by the responsible loan officer at any
time.  However, upgrades of risk ratings may only be made with the
concurrence of the loan review and credit administration staffs, generally at
the time of the formal watch list review meetings.

Each month, loan administration provides management with a detailed list of
loans on the watch list and summaries of the entire loan portfolio
categorized by risk rating.  These are coupled with an analysis of recent
changes in the risk profiles of the portfolio, changes in past due and non
performing loans and changes in watch list and classified loans. In this
manner, the overall increases or decreases in the levels of risk in the
portfolio are monitored continually. Factors are applied to the loan
portfolio for each category of loan risk to determine acceptable levels of
allowance for loan losses. These factors are derived primarily from the
actual loss experience and from published national surveys of norms in the
industry.  The calculated allowance required for the portfolio is then
compared to the actual allowance balance to determine the provision necessary
to maintain the allowance at an appropriate level. In addition, management
exercises judgment in its analysis of determining the overall level of the
allowance for loan losses.  In its analysis, management considers the change
in the portfolio, including growth and composition, and the economic
conditions of the region in which the Company operates.  Based on this
quantitative and qualitative analysis, the allowance for loan losses is
adjusted.  Such adjustments are reflected in the consolidated statements of
income.

The Company does not engage in foreign lending.  The Company does not have a
material amount of interest-bearing assets which would have been included in
nonaccrual, past due or restructured loans if such assets were loans.

Management believes the allowance for loan losses is adequate to absorb
probable losses in the loan portfolio.  While management uses available
information to recognize loan losses, future additions to the allowance may
be necessary based on changes in economic conditions.  In addition, various
regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process,
periodically review the allowance for loan losses.  Such agencies may require
the Company to increase the allowance for loan losses based on their
judgments and interpretations about information available to them at the time
of their examinations.

While the Company has benefited from very low historical net charge-offs
during an extended period of rapid loan growth, management remains cognizant
that historical loan losses and nonperforming asset experience may not be
indicative of future results.  Were the experience to deteriorate, and
additional provisions for loan losses were required, future operational
results would be negatively impacted.  Both management and the Board of
Directors continually monitor changes in asset quality, market conditions,
concentrations of credit and other factors, all of which impact the credit
risk associated with the Company's loan portfolio.  Currently, the Company
has over $1 million in the allowance for loan losses for specific nonaccrual
loans. The Kansas region is currently implementing a credit management policy
and loan review procedure consistent with the St. Louis region.

NONINTEREST INCOME

Noninterest income was $1,052,000 and $2,466,000 for the three month and nine
month periods ended September 30, 2000, respectively, compared to $978,000
and $2,382,000 for the same periods in 1999. The increase is primarily
attributed to financial advisory income and other service charges and fee
income.  Financial advisory income was $284,000 and $590,000 for the three
month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2000, respectively, as
compared to $388,000 and $444,000 for the same periods in 1999.  The Company
began offering financial advisory and trust services in October 1998 and
started generating fees in the second quarter of 1999.  Other service charges
and fee income was $262,000 and $528,000 for the three month and nine month
periods ended September 30, 2000, respectively, as compared to $45,000 and
$346,000 for the same periods in 1999.  This increase is primarily
attributable to a $175,000 merchant banking fee the Company received in
September of 2000.  The Company increased its merchant banking activity
during 2000.  This is reflected in increased income from a minority interest
in EMB LLC and the increase in the gain on investment in Enterprise Fund,
L.P. The above mentioned increases were offset by a $37,000 and $349,000
decrease in the gain on sale of mortgage loans for the three month and nine
month periods ended September 30, 2000, respectively compared to the same
periods in 1999.  This decrease is due to rising interest rates during the
last six months of 1999 and the first nine months of 2000.  Over half of the
gain on sale of mortgage loans for the three and nine month periods ended
September 30, 1999 was due to refinancing of mortgages.  The demand for
mortgage loan refinancing dramatically decreased with the rise in interest
rates.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE

Noninterest expense was $5,854,000 and $16,487,000 for the three month and
nine month periods ended September 30, 2000, respectively, compared to
$4,678,000 and $13,227,000 million for the same periods in 1999.  The
increase is primarily due to increases in salaries, payroll taxes and
employee benefits, occupancy expense, and data processing

                                      18

expenses.  Increases in salaries, payroll taxes and employee benefits,
occupancy expense, and data processing expenses are primarily due to: 1)
increased activity and growth in financial advisory operations started during
1998, 2) the investment in several additional new business development
officers in the St. Louis region and key management in the Kansas region, and
3) normal increases associated with growth. The Company recently implemented
an Internet banking business and check imaging system for enhanced customer
service.  Both programs increased noninterest expense for the three and nine
month periods ended September 30, 2000.  Other noninterest expenses were
$1,506,000 and $4,410,000 for the three month and nine month periods ended
September 30, 2000, respectively, an increase of $439,984 or 41% and
$1,211,680 or 38% over the three month and nine month periods ended September
30, 1999, respectively. During the nine month period ended September 30,
2000, the Company expensed approximately $500,000 in legal, accounting, travel
and other costs related to the merger.  The remaining increase is attributed
to normal operating expenses associated with growth.

LIQUIDITY AND INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY

Liquidity is provided by the Company's earning assets, including short-term
investments in federal funds sold, maturities in the loan portfolio,
maturities in the investment portfolio, amortization of term loans, deposit
inflows, proceeds from borrowings, and retained earnings.

Since inception, the Company has experienced rapid loan and deposit growth
primarily due to the aggressive direct calling efforts of the Company's
relationship officers and sustained economic growth in the local market
served by the Company.  Management has pursued privately held businesses who
desire a close working relationship with a locally managed, full service
bank.  Due to the relationships developed with these customers, management
views deposits from this source as a stable deposit base.  Additionally, the
Company belongs to a national network of time depositors (primarily credit
unions) which places time deposits with the Company, typically in increments
of $99,000. The Company has used this source of deposits for over four years
and considers it to be a stable source of deposits enabling the Company to
acquire funds at a cost below its alternative cost of funds.  There were $37
million and $45 million of deposits from the national network with the
Company at September 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999, respectively.

The following table sets forth the amount and maturity of certificates of
deposit that had balances of more than $100,000 at September 30, 2000:

The asset/liability management process, which involves management of the
components of the balance sheet to allow assets and liabilities to reprice at
approximately the same time, is an ever-changing process essential to
minimizing the effect of interest rate fluctuations on net interest income.

CAPITAL ADEQUACY

In March 2000, the Company obtained a $2,500,000 unsecured line of credit
from Jefferson Bank and Trust. The line of credit matures on March 31, 2001
and is an interest only note accruing interest at a variable rate of prime
minus 0.50%. There were no amounts outstanding under the line of credit at
September 30, 2000.

Risk-based capital guidelines for financial institutions were adopted by
regulatory authorities effective January 1, 1991. These guidelines were
designed to relate regulatory capital requirements to the risk profile of the
specific institution and to provide for uniform requirements among the
various regulators.  Currently, the risk-based capital guidelines require the
Company to meet a minimum total capital ratio of 8.0% of which at least 4.0%
must consist of Tier 1 capital.  Tier 1 capital generally consists of (a)
common shareholders' equity (excluding the unrealized market value
adjustments on the available for sale securities), (b) qualifying perpetual
preferred stock and related surplus subject to certain limitations specified
by the FDIC, (c) minority interests in the equity accounts of consolidated
subsidiaries less (d) goodwill, (e) mortgage servicing rights within certain
limits, and (f) any other intangible assets and investments in subsidiaries
that the FDIC determines should be deducted from Tier 1 capital.  The FDIC
also requires a minimum leverage ratio of 3.0%, defined as the ratio of Tier
1 capital less purchased mortgage servicing rights to total average assets,
for banking organizations deemed the strongest and most highly rated by
banking regulators.  A higher minimum leverage ratio is required of less
highly rated banking organizations.  Total capital, a measure of capital
adequacy, includes Tier 1 capital, allowance for loan losses, and debt
considered equity for regulatory capital purposes.

The following table summarizes the Company's risk-based capital and leverage
ratios at the dates indicated:

EFFECT OF INFLATION

Changes in interest rates may have a significant impact on a commercial
bank's performance because virtually all assets and liabilities of commercial
banks are monetary in nature.  Interest rates do not necessarily move in the
same direction or in the same magnitude as the prices of goods and services.
Inflation does have an impact on the growth of total assets in the banking
industry, often resulting in a need to increase equity capital at higher than
normal rates to maintain an appropriate equity-to-assets ratio.
