             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" and, collectively with Parent and Bank, the "Company").

        All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated. These financial statements and notes thereto should be read in
conjunction with, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to, the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1998, as
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 1999.

        The consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial
information and the 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 months ended June 30, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of
the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 1999.

3.      Recent Accounting Pronouncements

        SFAS No. 133, "Accounts for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities," establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative
instruments and hedging activities and requires recognition of all derivatives
as either assets or liabilities measured at fair value. The accounting for
changes in fair value of a derivative depends on the intended use of the
derivative and the resulting designation. The statement is required for the year
2001. The adoption of SFAS No. 133 is not expected to have a material effect on
the consolidated financial statements.

4.      Segments

        The Company's principal activities include Commercial Banking and
Equipment Leasing. Commercial banking offers a broad range of banking products
and services, including credit, cash management, investment, deposit and trust
products. The Equipment Leasing segment offers leasing programs for computers,
telecommunications equipment, telephone systems, business furniture,
manufacturing equipment, materials handling equipment and other capital
equipment.

        The financial information for each business segment reflects that
information which is specifically identifiable or which is allocated based on an
internal allocation method.  The allocation has been consistently applied for
all periods presented.  Revenues from affiliated transactions, principally the
Commercial Banking division's funding of Equipment Leasing activity, are
generally charged at the Commercial Banking division's marginal cost of funds.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation


Overview

        Net earnings available to common shareholders were $1,142,000 for the
quarter ended June 30, 1999 compared with $598,000 for the quarter ended June
30, 1998, an increase of 91%. Earnings per share on a fully diluted basis for
the second quarter were $0.17, versus $0.11 for the same period a year ago, an
increase of 55%. For the six months ended June 30, 1999, net earnings available
to common shareholders were $2,149,000, an increase of $1,005,000, or 88%, from
the first six months of 1998. Earnings per share on a fully diluted basis for
the six months ended June 30, 1999 were $0.31, compared with $0.22 for the same
period a year ago, an increase of 41%.

        On an operating basis, before the amortization of goodwill,
consolidated net income available to common shareholders for the three months
ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, was $1,252,000 and $707,000, or $0.18 and $0.13
per diluted share, respectively. Return on average tangible assets was 1.23% in
the second quarter of 1999 compared with 1.11% in the second quarter of 1998.
Return on average common shareholders' equity was 11.81% for the quarter ended
June 30, 1999, versus 13.17% for the quarter ended June 30, 1998. For the first
six months of 1999 and 1998, respectively, returns on average tangible assets
were 1.23% and 1.08%, and returns on average common shareholders' equity were
11.32% and 13.56%.

Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets

        The Company's total assets increased by $54.8 million to $421.4 million
as of June 30, 1999, from $366.6 as of December 31, 1998. A robust Colorado
economy continues to fuel the Company's strong loan growth, particularly in the
Boulder, Denver, Vail Valley, and West Metropolitan Denver ("West Metro")
markets. In the first six months of 1999, the loan and lease portfolio (net)
increased by $50.9 million, from $223.3 million at December 31, 1998 to $274.2
million as of June 30, 1999. Investment securities were $110.5 million as of
June 30, 1999 compared to $107.9 million as of December 31, 1998. Growth in the
investment portfolio has been limited as the Company has utilized its funding
resources to support stronger than anticipated loan demand, rather than to
support investment purchases.

        Deposits increased by $37.2 million to $310.2 million as of June 30,
1999, from $273.0 million as of December 31, 1998. Noninterest-bearing deposits
increased by $7.7 million, and interest-bearing deposits increased by $29.5
million. Low cost demand deposits comprised 33% of total deposits as of June 30,
1999. Federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreements to repurchase
increased by $25.0 million in the first six months of 1999 to $53.4 million. Of
this total, $32.6 million are repurchase agreements transacted on behalf of the
Company's customers and are not considered a wholesale borrowing source.

Results of Operations

Net Interest Income

        Net interest income before provision for loan and lease losses was $5.0
million for the quarter ended June 30, 1999, an increase of $1.4 million, or
39%, compared with the quarter ended June 30, 1998. Yields on the Company's
interest-earning assets declined by 100 basis points to 8.01% for the three
months ended June 30, 1999, down from 9.01% for the three months ended June 30,
1998. Rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities declined by only 61 basis
points during this same period. The net interest margin was 5.26% for the
quarter ended June 30, 1999, down from 5.62% for the quarter ended June 30,
1998. This decline corresponds with industry-wide pricing pressures, and
resulted primarily from a higher proportionate share of fixed rate real-estate
term loans, as compared to commercial loans, in the portfolio. However, growth
of the Company's average earning assets helped mitigate the margin compression.
Average earning assets increased by 49% to $378.4 million for the second
quarter, 1999, from $254.4 million for the second quarter, 1998.

        Net interest income before provision for loan and lease losses was $9.5
million for the six months ended June 30, 1999, an increase of $2.6 million, or
37%, compared with the six months ended June 30, 1998. The net interest margin
was 5.30% for the first six months of 1999, down from 5.68% for the same period
in 1998.

        The following tables set forth for each category of interest-earning
assets and interest-bearing liabilities, the average amounts outstanding, the
interest earned or paid on such amounts, and the average rate earned or paid for
the quarters ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 and for the six months ended June 30,
1999 and 1998.

$2,213,000, compared with $1,991,000 for the same period in 1998. The increases
were primarily attributable to increases in deposit service charges, trust fees,
and other banking service related fees. Generally, increases in deposit service
charges do not correspond with the growth in deposit balances. This is due to
the fact that the Company provides its customers with the choice of either
paying for services in cash or by maintaining additional non-interest bearing
account balances.

Noninterest Expense

        Total noninterest expense increased by $709,000 to $3,832,000 for the
three months ended June 30, 1999, up from $3,123,000 for the three months ended
June 30, 1998. For the six months ended June 30, 1999, noninterest expense was
$7,539,000, up from $6,138,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1998. During
these same periods, however, the efficiency ratio before goodwill improved to
61% for the quarter ended June 30, 1999, up from 66% for the comparable period
in 1998. The efficiency ratio for the first six months of 1999 was 63%, as
compared to 67% in 1998.

        Theses increases in noninterest expense were primarily the result of
additional personnel and occupancy expenses incurred to accommodate the
Company's growth. Subsequent to June 1998, the company opened three new
facilities. In addition, the data processing system conversion, which was
completed in the second quarter of 1998, as well as other on-going technological
upgrades, contributed to a higher level of noninterest expense.

Provision and Allowance for Loan Losses

        The provision for loan and lease losses decreased by $38,000 to $332,000
for the three months ended June 30, 1999, down from $370,000 for the three
months ended June 30, 1998. The provision for loan and lease losses decreased by
$86,000 to $635,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1999, down from $721,000
for the six months ended June 30, 1998. The decrease relates to the Company's
sustained credit quality. Key indicators of asset quality have remained
favorable, while average outstanding loan amounts have increased to $267.0
million for the second quarter, 1999, up from $194.2 million for the second
quarter, 1998.

        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 Company maintains an allowance for loan
losses based upon a number of factors, including, among others, the amount of
problem loans and leases, general economic conditions, historical loss
experience, and the evaluation of the underlying collateral and holding and
disposal costs. In addition to unallocated allowances, specific allowances are
provided for individual loans when ultimate collection is considered
questionable by management after reviewing the current status of those loans
that are contractually past due and considering the net realizable value of the
collateral for the loans. Management actively monitors the Company's asset
quality and will charge-off loans against the allowance for loan losses when
appropriate and will provide specific loss allowances when necessary. Although
management believes it uses the best information available to make
determinations with respect to the allowance for loan losses, future adjustments
may be necessary if economic conditions differ from the assumptions used in
making the initial determinations. As of June 30, 1999, the allowance for loan
losses amounted to $3.8 million, or 1.38% of total loans and leases. The
following table presents, for the periods indicated, an analysis of the
allowance for loan and lease losses and other related data.

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. Historically, the Company's primary
source of funds 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
level of 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.

        The Company uses various forms of short-term borrowings for cash
management and liquidity purposes on a limited basis. These forms of borrowings
include federal funds purchases, securities sold under agreements to repurchase,
the State of Colorado Treasury's Time Deposit program, and borrowings from the
Federal Home Loan Bank of Topeka ("FHLB"). The Bank has approved federal funds
purchase lines with six other banks with an aggregate credit line of $49
million. In addition, the Bank may apply for up to $11 million of State of
Colorado time deposits. The Bank also has available a $53 million line of credit
from the FHLB. Borrowings under the FHLB line would be secured by unpledged
securities and other loans.

Data Processing Systems and Year 2000 Compliance

        General.  The Year 2000 Issue is the result of computer programs being
written using two digits rather than four to define the applicable year. Any of
our computer programs or hardware that have date-sensitive software or embedded
chips may recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year
2000. The failure to correct any such programs or hardware could result in
system failures or miscalculations causing disruptions of our operations,
including, among other things, a temporary inability to process transactions,
send statements or engage in similar normal business activities. We have
determined that we will have to modify or replace portions of our information
processing systems so that those systems will properly utilize dates beyond
December 31, 1999. We plan to complete the modifications and replacements
necessary to correct those systems prior to December 31, 1999. If such
modifications and replacements are not made, or are not completed on a timely
basis, the Year 2000 Issue could have a material impact on our future operating
performance.

        State of Readiness.  The Company is well underway with its "Year 2000
Program" efforts. The Company has a Year 2000 Committee that oversees issues
relating to its Year 2000 Program. In June 1998, the Company converted to the
Jack Henry System, a data processing system that provides the Company with the
ability to deliver upgraded P.C. banking, a voice response system and check and
document imaging. The Jack Henry System is designed to be year 2000 compliant.
The renovation phase for other mission critical components was completed by
December 31, 1998. Renovation for non-mission critical components was completed
during the first quarter of 1999. The validation phase for mission critical
components, including the Jack Henry System, was completed in first quarter 1999
and for non-critical components was completed in the second quarter 1999. The
Company utilizes third party servicers for some of its information and data
processing needs, and it is monitoring the progress of these entities in
addressing the Year 2000 Issue. Validation of these third-party provided systems
was

                                      15
<PAGE>

completed during the second quarter of 1999.  The Company expects, but cannot
guarantee, that all of these third party servicers will continue to be
compliant.  The Company is also assessing the operability of other devices after
1999, including vaults, fax machines, stand-alone personal computers and
security systems. Although the Company does not believe that the failure of
these systems would have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of
the enterprise, it is addressing deficiencies in these systems in an effort to
make them compliant during 1999.

        Costs.  In order to achieve and confirm year 2000 readiness, significant
costs are being incurred to test and modify or replace computer software and
hardware. The Company believes that its remediation costs have been mitigated
since it has replaced, in the ordinary course of business, a substantial portion
of its core banking systems during the past five years with year 2000 compliant
software. However, the considerable effort required to implement new software
and sufficiently test its compliance is consuming a substantial portion of the
Company's internal information technology resources. This diversion of resources
to the Year 2000 Program has resulted in delays in implementing enhancements to
a number of the Company's systems and products. The Company does not believe,
however, that these delays will have a significant effect on its revenue or
expense growth. The aggregate increase in operating expense to achieve Year 2000
readiness is estimated to be $1.9 million, of which $726,000 has been incurred
through June 30, 1999, including approximately $470,000 incurred in converting
to the Jack Henry System.  In addition, a significant portion of the Company's
personal computers have been replaced to achieve Year 2000 compliance. The
capital outlay to replace these assets is estimated to have been $198,000, a
portion of which would have been incurred in the ordinary course of business
without regard to Year 2000 issues.

        Risks.   If the Company's mission-critical applications are not
compliant by 2000, it may not be able to correctly process transactions in a
reasonable period of time. This scenario could result in a wide variety of
claims against the Company for improper handling of its assets and deposits and
other borrowings from its customers. The Company is also at risk if the credit
worthiness of a few of its large borrowers, or a significant number of its small
borrowers, were to deteriorate quickly and severely as a result of their
inability to conduct business operations after December 31, 1999 due to Year
2000 issues or any other reason. Although the Company has surveyed and is
presently reviewing the Year 2000 plans of a number of its credit customers to
ascertain the sufficiency of their remediation efforts and the implications of
their actions on their credit worthiness, the Company cannot control or predict
whether such customers' remediation efforts will be successful.

        Contingency Plans.  The Company has developed business resumption plans
for each significant business unit in the event that its remediation plan is not
completed in time or fails for reasons that are not presently foreseen. In the
event of such a failure, these plans outline the steps that will be taken to
remediate the situation and minimize the effect on customers and losses to the
Company. These plans are complete and were tested in the second quarter of 1999.
