              Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements
                                  (Unaudited)

1.  CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements are unaudited and
include the accounts of Colorado Business Bankshares, Inc. ("Parent"), its
wholly owned subsidiary, Colorado Business Bank, N.A. ("Bank"), and its 80%
owned equipment leasing subsidiary, Colorado Business Leasing, Inc. ("Leasing")
collectively referred to as the "Company".

All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Information contained in the consolidated condensed financial statements and
notes thereto of the Company should be read in conjunction with the Company's
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company's
Prospectus dated June 18, 1998.

The consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information
and instructions to Form 10-QSB.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles
for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all
adjustments (consisting only of normally recurring accruals) considered
necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  Operating results for the
six month period ended June 30, 1998, or for the quarter ended June 30, 1998,
are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
ending December 31, 1998.

2.  SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

In June 1998, the Company completed an initial public offering ("IPO") of its
common stock.  A total of 1,610,000 shares of common stock were sold by the
Company at $12.00 per share yielding net proceeds of $17.5 million, after
deducting underwriting expenses and other expenses.  Portions of the proceeds
from the offering were used to retire an outstanding note payable and the
Company's cumulative preferred stock.  On June 23, 1998, the note payable, $7.25
million as of that date, was paid in full, and the cumulative preferred stock,
$1.5 million as of that date, was redeemed.

Basic earnings per share is based on net income divided by the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding during the period.  The weighted average
number of shares outstanding used to compute diluted earnings per common share
include the number of additional common shares that would be outstanding if the
potentially dilutive common shares and common share equivalents had been issued
at the beginning of the year.

4.  RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 1997, SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income," was issued.  SFAS
No. 130 established standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income
and its components (revenues, expenses, gains, and losses) in a full set of
general-purpose financial statements.  SAFS No. 130 requires that all items that
are required to be recognized under accounting standards as components of
comprehensive income be reported in a financial statement that is displayed with
the same prominence as other financial statements.  SFAS No. 130 requires that a
company (a) classify items of other comprehensive income by their nature in a
financial statement and (b) display the accumulated balance of other
comprehensive income separately from retained earnings and additional paid-in
capital in the equity section of the balance sheet.  The Company adopted this
statement in the first quarter of 1998.  The Company's only comprehensive income
component is unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities.  For
the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, comprehensive income was $1,380,000
(unaudited) and $827,000 (unaudited), respectively.

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


CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED BALANCE SHEETS

The Company's total assets increased by $48.8 million, from $264.1 as of
December 31, 1997 to $312.9 million as of June 30, 1998.  In the first six
months of 1998, the loan and lease portfolio (net) increased by $39.6 million,
from $164.1 million at December 31, 1997 to $203.7 million as of June 30, 1998.
Investment securities increased by $13.0 million, from $58.8 million as of
December 31, 1997 to $71.8 million as of June 30, 1998.  For the first six
months of 1998, investment in operating leases increased by $1.3 million while
cash and cash equivalents decreased by $5.5 million.

The increase in loans and leases resulted from increased loan demand in the
Company's market areas, specifically the Boulder, Denver and West locations, as
well as increased economic growth in the Denver metropolitan area.

The increase in investment securities was comprised of purchases of $20.7
million of mortgage-backed securities and $2.0 million of U.S. Government
Treasury bills.  Paydowns and maturities of $9.7 million in the investment
portfolio partially offset the purchases.

Deposits increased by $14.1 million, from $221.1 million as of December 31, 1997
to $235.1 million as of June 30, 1998.  Noninterest-bearing deposits increased
by $8.9 million and interest-bearing deposits increased by $5.2 million.
Federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreements to repurchase
increased by $25.6 million in the first six months of 1998.

The Company completed an Initial Public Offering ("IPO") on June 23, 1998, and
portions of the proceeds were used to pay off an outstanding note and the
Company's cumulative preferred stock.  The note payable, $7.25 million as of
June 23, 1998 was paid in full, and the Company's cumulative preferred stock,
$1.5 million as of June 23, 1998 was redeemed.  Additional paid-in capital
increased $17.9 million, from $11.9 million as of December 31, 1997 to $29.8
million as of June 30, 1998.  Of this increase, $17.5 million was a result of
the IPO and $400,000 was a result of the exercise of 40,000 options in the first
quarter of 1998.


CONSOLIDATED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998.

Net income before preferred dividends for the Company increased $512,000 or
72.1% for the six months ended June 30, 1998 from $710,000 for the six months
ended June 30,


                                       6
<PAGE>
 
1997, to $1,222,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1998. The increased
earnings during the six months reflected increases in interest-earning assets
and net interest income. At June 30, 1998 the Company reported a 35.6% increase
in total assets and a 38.9% increase in interest-earning assets as compared to
June 30, 1997.

The provision for loan and lease losses increased by $407,000, from $314,000 for
the six months ended June 30, 1997 to $721,000 for the six months ended June 30,
1998.  The increase in provision is the result of increased loan volumes.

Net interest income before provision for loan and lease losses increased $1.9
million to $6.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 1998, from $5.0
million for the six months ended June 30, 1997, primarily due to increased loan
and lease volume.  The Company's net interest margin before provision was 5.68%
at June 30, 1998 compared to 5.49% at June 30, 1997.

Total noninterest income increased by $539,000 to $1,991,000 for the six months
ended June 30, 1998, from $1,452,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1997.
The increases were primarily due to increases in operating lease income.

Total noninterest expense increased by $1,189,000 to $6,138,0000 for the six
months ended June 30, 1998, from $4,949,000 for the six months ended June 30,
1997. The increases were primarily due to increases in salary and related
expenses and occupancy expenses as a result of the opening of the West location
in the first quarter of 1998, the establishment of the Community Trust Division
in the first quarter of 1998 and the data processing system conversion that was
completed in the second quarter of 1998. Depreciation on operating leases also
increased in the first six months of 1998 as a result of the increased volume.


CONSOLIDATED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998.

Net income before preferred dividends for the Company increased $197,000 or
45.0% for the quarter ended June 30, 1998 from $438,000 for the quarter ended
June 30, 1997, to $635,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 1998.  The increased
earnings during the three months ended June 30, 1998 reflected increases in
interest-earning assets and net interest income.  At June 30, 1998 the Company
reported a 35.6% increase in total assets and a 38.9% increase in interest-
earning assets as compared to June 30, 1997.

The provision for loan and lease losses increased by $202,000, from $168,000 for
the three months ended June 30, 1997 to $370,000 for the three months ended June
30, 1998.  The increase in provision is the result of increased loan volumes.

                                       7
<PAGE>
 
Net interest income before provision for loan and lease losses increased
$866,000 to $3,564,000 million for the quarter ended June 30, 1998, from
$2,698,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 1997, primarily due to increased loan
and lease volume.

Total noninterest income increased by $269,000 to $986,000 for the three months
ended June 30, 1998, from $717,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1997.
The increases were primarily due to increases in operating lease income.

Total noninterest expense increased by $620,000 to $3,123,000 for the three
months ended June 30, 1998 from $2,503,000 for the three months ended June 30,
1997.  The increases were primarily due to increases in salary and related
expenses and occupancy expenses as a result of continued start-up costs for the
West location and the Community Trust Division, both of which commenced
operations in the first quarter of 1998 and the data processing system
conversion that was completed in the second quarter of 1998. Depreciation on
operating leases also increased in the second quarter of 1998 as a result of the
increased volume.

</TABLE>

The allowance for loan and lease losses represents management's recognition of
the risks of extending credit and its evaluation of the quality of the loan and
lease portfolio.  The allowance for loan and lease losses is maintained at a
level that is considered adequate to provide for anticipated loan and lease
losses, based on various factors affecting the loan and lease portfolio,
including a review of problem loans and leases, business conditions, historical
loss experience, evaluation of the underlying collateral and holding and
disposal costs.  The allowance is increased by additional charges to operating
income and reduced by loans and leases charged off, net of recoveries.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's liquidity management objective is to ensure its ability to satisfy
the cash flow requirements of depositors and borrowers and allow the Company to
meet its own cash flow needs.  The Company's primary source of funds
historically has been customer deposits.  Scheduled loan and lease repayments
are a relatively stable source of funds, while deposit inflows and unscheduled
loan and lease prepayments, which are influenced by fluctuations in general
interest rates, returns available on other investments, competition, economic
conditions and other factors, are relatively unstable.  Company borrowings may
be used on a short-term basis to compensate for reductions in other sources of
funds (such as deposit inflows at less than projected levels).  Company
borrowings may also be used on a longer term basis to support expanded lending
activities and to match the maturity or repricing intervals of assets.

DATA PROCESSING SYSTEMS AND YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE

The Company has formed a Year 2000 Committee to oversee issues relating to its
year 2000 compliance program.  The program calls for all critical systems to be
certified as year 2000 compliant by December 31, 1998.  The Company completed a
conversion to the Jack Henry System, a data processing system that will provide
the Company with the ability to offer more advanced services such as upgraded
P.C. banking, a voice response system and check and document imaging, in June
1998.  Unlike the Company's prior data processing system, the Jack Henry System
is designed to be year 2000 compliant.

As a result of the conversion to the Jack Henry System, total incremental
expenses relating to year 2000 compliance, including depreciation and
amortization of the new systems, remediation to bring current systems into
compliance and writing off of legacy systems, are not expected to have a
material impact upon the Company's financial condition. Total expenditures
related to remediation, testing, replacement and upgrading system applications
with respect to the conversion to the Jack Henry System are expected to range
from $1.75 million to $1.9 million from 1998 through 2003, of which $39,000 was
incurred in the first six months of 1998. Of the total, approximately $1.1
million result from capital expenditures related to acquisition and
implementation of hardware and software related to the new data processing
system. The balance, $650,000 to $900,000, result from expenses associated with
network implementation, remediation, hardware and software maintenance, and
testing of existing systems.

The Company is attempting to contact vendors, customers and others on whom it
relies to assure that their systems will be certified as year 2000 compliant in
a timely fashion.  However, there can be no assurance that the systems of any
such company will be converted in a timely fashion, or that any such failure to
convert by another company would not have an adverse affect on the Company's
systems.  Furthermore, no assurance can be given that any or all of the
Company's systems are or will be Year 2000 compliant, or that the ultimate costs
required to address the Year 2000 issue or the impact of any failure to achieve
substantial Year 2000 compliance will not have a material adverse effect on the
Company's financial condition. In addition, bank regulatory agencies have begun
to monitor bank holding companies' and banks' readiness for the year 2000 as
part of the regular examination process.  In the event that a bank holding
company or a bank is determined not to be satisfactorily prepared for the year
2000, it will be required to submit a written plan establishing a timetable for
year 2000 compliance and periodic progress reports on its efforts to implement
the plan.  Failure to formulate a satisfactory plan, or to implement the plan
successfully, could result in enforcement action.  The inability of the Company,
or its venders, customers and others


                                      10
<PAGE>
 
upon which it relies, to address year 2000 issues successfully could result in
significant interruptions in its operations and, therefore, could have a
material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition, results
of operations and cash flows.


FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

The discussion in this report contains forward-looking statements, including,
without limitation, statements relating to the Company's year 2000 compliance,
which are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  Although the Company believes that the
expectations reflected in the forward looking statements are reasonable, it can
give no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct.  The forward-
looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that affect the Company's
operations, financial performance and other factors as discussed in the
Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  These risks
include the impact of economic conditions and interest rates, loan and lease
losses, risks related to the execution of the Company's growth strategy, the
possible loss of key personnel, factors that could affect the Company's ability
to compete in its trade areas, changes in regulations and government policies
and other factors discussed in the Company's filing with the Securities and
Exchange Commission.  In particular, risks related to the Company's year 2000
compliance include those discussed under the heading "Data Processing Systems
and Year 2000 Compliance" in this report.

ITEM 2.        CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS.

In June 1998, the Company completed its IPO. The IPO was conducted pursuant to a
Registration Statement (the "Registration Statement") on Form SB-2 (File No. 
333-50037), which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange
Commission on June 17, 1998. The IPO was commenced on June 18, 1998 and has been
completed. The managing underwriter for the IPO was Dain Rauscher Wessels, a
division of Dain Rauscher Incorporated. 1,610,000 shares of the Company's Common
Stock, $.01 par value (the "Common Stock"), were registered pursuant to the
Registration Statement and all such shares were sold in the IPO by the Company
at a price to the public of $12.00 per share, for gross proceeds of $19.32
million. Expenses incurred by the Company in connection with the Offering
(including underwriting discounts and commissions and expenses paid to or for
the underwriters) are estimated at $1.8 million. Such expenses constitute direct
or indirect payments to others. None of such expenses were direct or indirect
payments to directors or officers of the Company or their associates, persons
owning 10% or more of any class of equity securities of the Company or
affiliates of the Company. After deducting the expenses described above, the net
proceeds to the

                                       11

Company from the IPO were approximately $17.5 million.  Approximately $7.25
million of such net proceeds was used to repay all of the remaining outstanding
indebtedness under the Company's credit facility, approximately $1.5 million was
used to redeem all of the Company's outstanding Preferred Stock and
approximately $ 5.0 million was contributed to the capital of Colorado Business
Bank, N.A., the Company's wholly-owned bank subsidiary (the "Bank"). The Company
intends to contribute the remaining $3.75 million of net proceeds to the Bank
during the next 12 months.  Such uses constitute direct or indirect payments to
others.  None of the net proceeds of the IPO were used to make direct or
indirect payments to directors or officers of the Company or their associates,
persons owning 10% or more of any class of equity securities of the Company or
affiliates of the Company.
