                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (UNAUDITED)



Item 1.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

Basis of Presentation
---------------------

     The financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company,
without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally
included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and
regulations.  However, the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to
make the information presented not misleading.  These condensed financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes
thereto for the year ended December 31, 1999, included in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-KSB.

     The unaudited condensed financial statements included herein reflect all
adjustments (which include only normal, recurring adjustments), which are, in
the opinion of management, necessary to state fairly the results for the six
months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999.  The results of the interim periods are not
necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full fiscal year.

Comprehensive Income
--------------------

     Effective January 1, 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" (SFAS
No. 130). SFAS No. 130 establishes standards for reporting and the display of
comprehensive income and its components. Comprehensive income is defined as the
change in equity of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and
other events and circumstances from nonowner sources. The Company's
comprehensive income (loss) consists of net earnings (loss) and unrealized gains
(losses) on securities available for sale and is presented as a separate
component of stockholders' equity.

Earnings Per Share
------------------

     As a result of Common Stock equivalents being anti-dilutive, the Company's
basic and diluted loss per common share are equal at June 30, 2000.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
         ---------------------------------------------------------------
         Results of Operations
         ---------------------

General
-------

     The following discussion and related financial data for the Company
provides an overview of the financial condition and results of operations of the
Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, which is presented on a consolidated
basis. The principal subsidiary is AmericasBANK. For the three months ending
June 30, 2000 and June 30, 1999 the Company reported a loss of $(154,000) and
$(185,000). For the first six months, the Company reported a loss of $(297,000)
in 2000 and $(258,000) in 1999.

     Return on average assets and return on average equity are key measures of
earnings performance. Return on average assets measures the ability of a bank to
utilize its assets in generating income. Annualized return (loss) on average
assets for the three months ended June 30, 2000 and June 30, 1999 was (3.25%)
and (5.20%), respectively. Annualized return (loss) on average assets for the
six months ended June 30, 2000 was (3.29)% compared to (3.75)% for the same
period in 1999. The annualized return (loss) on average shareholder's equity,
which measures the income earned on the capital invested, for the three months
ended June 30, 2000, was (16.83)% compared to (17.72)% for the three months
ended June 30, 1999. For the six months ended June 30, 2000 and June 30, 1999,
the annualized return (loss) on average shareholder's equity was (15.88%) and
(13.55%), respectively.

Net Interest Income
-------------------

     Net interest income represents the Company's gross profit from lending and
investment activities, and is the most significant component of the Company's
earnings. Net interest income is the difference between interest and related fee
income on earning assets (primarily loans and investments) and the cost of funds
(primarily deposits and short-term borrowings) supporting them. To facilitate
the analysis of net interest income, the attached table ("Average Balances -
Yields and Rates") is presented.

     Net interest income for the first three months of 2000 totaled $186,000,
increasing 51.2% from the $123,000 recorded for the same period in 1999. Net
interest income for the first six months of 2000 totaled $340,000, increasing
42.3% from the $239,000 recorded for the same period in 1999. The Company's
average interest-earning assets for the three months ending June 30, 2000,
increased 36.3%, to $17,950,000, from $13,171,000 for the three months ended
June 30, 1999. The Company's average interest-earning assets for the six months
ending June 30, 2000, increased 34.7%, to $16,719,000, from $12,408,000 for the
six months ended June 30, 1999. This increase in primarily funded by strong
deposit growth for the Towson Branch generating an additional $4,416,000 in the
first six months of 2000.

     The Company's net interest margin was 4.17% and 3.75% for the three months
ended June 30, 2000 and June 30, 1999 respectively. For the first six months,
the net interest margin was 4.08% and 3.89% for 2000 and 1999 respectively. The
net interest margin is impacted by the change in the spread between yields on
earning assets and rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities. This spread
increased by 49 basis points in the three months ended June 30, 2000 when
compared to the same period in the prior year. This


                                       7
<PAGE>

spread increased by 5 basis points in the first six months of 2000 when compared
to the same period in the prior year. For the three months ended June 30, 2000
and June 30, 1999, the yield on earning assets increased from 6.78% to 8.32%
respectively. Rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities increased 105 basis
points to 5.47% for the three months ended June 30, 2000 when compared to the
same period in the prior year. The yield on earning assets increased from 7.12%
to 8.14%, while rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities increased 97 basis
points to 5.45% for the six months ended June 30, 2000 when compared to the same
period in the prior year.

     The Company's refocused lending strategy has been to concentrate primarily
on commercial and construction products since the conversion in September 1999
from a thrift to a commercial bank. This strategy has served to balance the
Company's loan portfolio between mortgages and commercial products. For the
quarter ended June 30, 2000, the loan portfolio consisted of approximately 49.0%
mortgages and 35.2% commercial loans. As of June 30, 1999 the loan portfolio
consisted of approximately 61.7% mortgages and 21.8% commercial loans. This
change in the mix has afforded the Company the opportunity to generate higher
yielding loans, many of which will adjust with prime. The yield on investments
improved 173 basis points as management sought to take advantage of what was
deemed a favorable market in the first six months of 2000. Excess liquidity was
generated by the stronger than anticipated deposit growth of the Towson Branch
which management has deemed core deposits. These funds were moved into
investments of moderate term maturity that were offering higher than average
yields. The remainder of the excess liquidity from the first six months of
deposit growth has remained in federal funds which experienced an increase in
yield of 123 basis points over the same period for 1999.

     Competition and increasing interest rates have caused a significant
increase in the rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities. The Company operates
within a competitive market with many competitors of significantly larger size.
As the Federal Reserve moved to curb a robust economy throughout 1999 and 2000,
several interest rate hikes have cause upward pressure on deposit rates. Many of
the Bank's competitors have been very aggressive in an attempt to gain market
share. The Company is currently implementing several strategies to offer
competitively priced products to its current and prospective customers.
Additionally, management has begun implementing several service enhancements
which it feels will sustain the Bank's deposit growth.

Noninterest Income
------------------

     Noninterest income increased $25,000, or 138.9% for the six months ended
June 30, 2000, when compared to the same period in 1999. For the three months
ending June 30, 2000, noninterest income increased $20,000 when compared to the
same period for 1999. This is primarily due to loan fee income generated by
loans held for sale activity. Beginning February 2000, the Bank has associated
with a mortgage company to fund a mortgage wholesale line. The Bank realized
$13,000 in fee income in the first six months of 2000, and $10,000 was
recognized in gains as pools of mortgages were sold.

     The Company's management is committed to developing and offering
innovative, market-driven products and services that will generate additional
sources of noninterest income. However, the future results of any of these
products or services cannot be predicted at this time.

                                       8

Noninterest Expenses
--------------------

     Noninterest expenses increased 28.2% or $137,000 for the six months ended
June 30, 2000 when compared to the first six months of 1999. For the three
months ending June 30, 2000, noninterest expenses increased $41,000 when
compared to the same period prior year.

     Total salaries and benefits increased $173,000 or 109.5% when the first six
months of 2000 are compared to the first six months of 1999. The Bank added two
senior officers including a senior lending officer and a chief financial
officer, in addition to staffing up the Towson Branch which opened in September
1999. The Branch maintains a staff of six.

Allowance for Credit Losses and Problem Assets
----------------------------------------------

     The allowance for loan losses represents a reserve for potential losses in
the loan portfolio. The adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is evaluated
periodically based on a review of all significant loans, with a particular
emphasis on non-accruing, past-due, impaired, and other loans that management
believes require attention. The determination of the reserve level rests upon
management's judgment about factors affecting loan quality and assumptions about
the economy. Management considers the quarter-end allowance appropriate and
adequate to cover possible losses in the loan portfolio; however, management's
judgment is based upon a number of assumptions about future events, which are
believed to be reasonable, but which may or may not prove valid. Thus, there can
be no assurance that charge-offs in future periods will not exceed the allowance
for loan loss or that additional increases in the loan loss allowance will not
be required.

     The Bank uses a loan grading system where all loans are graded based on
management's evaluation of the risk associated with each loan.  Based on the
loan grading, a factor is applied to the loan balance to reserve for potential
losses. The overall evaluation of the adequacy of the total allowance for loan
losses is based on an analysis of historical loss ratios, loan charge-offs,
delinquency trends, and previous collection experience, along with an assessment
of the effects of external economic conditions.

     At June 30, 2000, the allowance for loan losses was 1.51% of total loans,
which is considered by management to be sufficient to address the credit risk in
the current loan portfolio.

     The following table sets forth an analysis of the Bank's allowance for loan
losses for the periods indicated.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
----------------------------------------------------------

     Asset/liability management involves the funding and investing strategies
necessary to maintain an appropriate balance between interest sensitive assets
and liabilities. It also involves providing adequate liquidity while sustaining
stable growth in net interest income. Regular review and analysis of deposit and
loan trends, cash flows in various categories of loans, and monitoring of
interest spread relationships are vital to this process.

     The conduct of our banking business requires that we maintain adequate
liquidity to meet changes in the composition and volume of assets and
liabilities due to seasonal, cyclical, or other reasons. Liquidity describes the
ability of the Company to meet financial obligations that arise during the
normal course of business. Liquidity is primarily needed to meet the borrowing
and deposit withdrawal requirements of the customers of the Company, as well as
for meeting current and future planned expenditures. This liquidity is typically
provided by the funds received through customer deposits, investment securities,
loan repayments, borrowings, and income. Management considers the current
liquidity position to be adequate to meet the needs of the Company and its
customers.

     The Company seeks to limit the risks associated with interest rate
fluctuations by managing the balance between interest sensitive assets and
liabilities. Managing to mitigate interest rate risk is, however, not an exact
science. Not only does the interval until repricing of interest rates on assets
and liabilities change from day to day as the assets and liabilities change, but
for some assets and liabilities, contractual maturity and the actual maturity
experienced are not the same. For example, mortgage-backed securities may have
contractual maturities well in excess of five years but, depending upon the
interest rate carried by the specific underlying mortgages and the current
prevailing rate of interest, these securities may be repaid in a shorter time
period. Accordingly, management must make certain underlying assumptions with
regard to the true interest rate sensitivity of an asset or liability if the
actual volatility experienced differs from the contractual rate changes or
maturities.

     Interest rate sensitivity is an important factor in the management of the
composition and maturity configurations of the Company's earning assets and
funding sources. Management manages the interest rate sensitivity position in
order to maintain an appropriate balance between the maturity and repricing
characteristics of assets and liabilities that is consistent with the Company's
liquidity analysis, growth, and capital adequacy goals.


                                      12

     The Company employs computer model simulations for monitoring interest rate
sensitivity. Interest rate risk ("IRR") management has various sources and it is
not simply the risk from rates rising and falling. In fact, there are four
sources of IRR: repricing risk, basis risk, yield curve risk, and option risk.
Gap modeling only focuses on repricing risk. Income simulations that incorporate
cash flow analysis: (1) measure the size and direction of interest rate exposure
under a variety of interest rate and yield curve shape scenarios; (2) provides
the opportunity to capture all critical elements such as volume, maturity dates,
repricing dates, and repayment volumes; (3) utilizes the data to clearly focus
attention on critical variables; (4) are dynamic; and (5) reflect changes in
prevailing interest rates which affect different assets and liabilities in
different ways. These simulations are run on a quarterly basis using an interest
rate ramping technique to determine the effects on the Company's net interest
income, assuming a gradual increase or decrease in interest rates over four
successive quarters. The Company has an interest rate risk management policy
that limits the amount of deterioration in net change in interest income to no
more than 10.0% (+/-100), 12.0% (+/-200), 15.0% (+/-300) of net interest income.
The model results for June 30, 2000 are as follows:
