(1)  Basis of Presentation

     The accompanying  consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Leeds Federal Bankshares,  Inc.(the Company), its wholly owned subsidiary, Leeds
Federal Savings Bank and Leeds Investment Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary
of Leeds Federal  Savings  Bank.  Adjustments,  consisting  of normal  recurring
adjustments,  which,  in the  opinion of  management  are  necessary  for a fair
presentation of financial position and results of operations have been recorded.
The  financial  statements  have been  prepared  using the  accounting  policies
described in the June 30,2000 Annual  Report.  The results of operations for the
three months ended  September  30, 2000, are not  necessarily  indicative of the
results that may be expected for the entire year.

(2)  Reclassification of Prior Year's Statements

     Certain amounts in the 1999 financial  statements have been reclassified to
conform to the 2000 presentation.

(3)  Net Income per Share of Common Stock

     Basic  earnings per share (EPS) is calculated by dividing net income by the
weighted average number of common shares  outstanding for the applicable period.
Diluted EPS is calculated  after  adjusting the numerator and the denominator of
the basic EPS calculation for the effect of all dilutive potential common shares
outstanding  during the period.  Information  related to the  calculation of net
income per share of common stock is summarized as follows:

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

Forward Looking Statements

     In addition to  historical  information,  this  Quarterly  Report  contains
forward-looking  statements.  The forward-looking  statements  contained in this
document are subject to certain risks and uncertainties  that could cause actual
results  to  differ  materially  from  those  projected  in the  forward-looking
statements.  Important factors that might cause such a difference  include,  but
are not limited to,  those  discussed  in this  section  entitled  "Management's
Discussion  and  Analysis of  Financial  Condition  and Results of  Operations."
Readers should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking  statements, as
they reflect  management's  analysis as of the date of this report.  The Company
has no  obligation  to update  or revise  these  forward-looking  statements  to
reflect  events or  circumstances  that  occur  after  the date of this  report.
Readers should  carefully  review the risk factors  described in other documents
the Company files from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission,
including current reports filed on Form 8-K.

Discussion  of Financial  Condition  Changes from June 30, 2000 to September 30,
2000

     Cash on hand and due from banks,  interest bearing  deposits,  other liquid
investments,  investment  securities,  and  investment  in  FHLB  stock  totaled
approximately  $103.4 million,  an increase of  approximately  $5.4 million,  or
5.5%, from June 30, 2000.  Mortgage-backed  securities  totaled $7.9 million,  a
decrease of $400,000,  due to repayments of principal.  Loans receivable totaled
$216.4  million,  a decrease of $2.8  million,  or 1.3%,  due to  repayments  of
principal, partially offset by new lending activity at lower than normal levels.

     Deposits  increased  approximately  $2.1  million,  to  $284.0  million  at
September  30, 2000.  Such increase was  primarily  attributable  to the general
market  interest  rate trends.  The Company has offered  savings  rates that are
competitive  with other banks.  However,  it has not relied on brokered funds or
negotiated jumbo certificates to maintain deposit levels.

     The Bank is  subject to  capital  standards  which  generally  require  the
maintenance  of  regulatory  capital  sufficient  to meet  each of three  tests,
hereinafter  described as the Tier 1 core capital  requirement,  the Tier 1 risk
based  capital  requirement  and the total risk based  capital  requirement.  At
September 30, 2000, the Bank had Tier 1 core capital of $46.1 million,  or 13.7%
of total adjusted  assets,  which was $32.6 million in excess of the requirement
of minimum core capital of $13.4 million, or 4% of total adjusted assets; Tier 1
risk based capital of $46.1 million, or 27.8% of risk weighted assets, which was
$39.5 million in


<PAGE>



excess of the  requirement of minimum Tier 1 risk based capital of $6.6 million,
or 4% of risk weighted assets; and total risk-based capital of $48.4 million, or
29.2% of risk  weighted  assets,  which  was  $35.2  million  in  excess  of the
requirement of a minimum total risk-based capital of 8% of risk weighted assets.

Comparison of Operating Results for Three Month Periods Ended September 30, 2000
and 1999

General

     The  Company's  net income for the three months ended  September  30, 2000,
totaled  $798,000,  a decrease of  $135,000,  compared to $933,000 for the three
months  ended  September  30,  1999.  Unrealized  gains  (losses) on  securities
available  for sale  increased  $1.0 million to a gain of $582,000 for the three
months ended  September  30, 2000,  from a loss of $451,000 for the three months
ended  September 30, 1999. The increase was due to an increase in the fair value
of the  Company's  investment  securities  available for sale,  principally  the
Company's Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation preferred stock.

Net Interest Income

     Interest income on loans increased $170,000, to $3.9 million, for the three
months ended  September  30, 2000,  from $3.7 million for the three months ended
September 30, 1999. Total average loans increased $8.8 million to $219.0 million
for the current  quarter  compared to $210.2 for the same quarter last year. The
increase in average loans  reflected  increased loan demand.  Funds  principally
from an increase in average  saving  deposits  were used to fund the increase in
average loans. Yield on average loans remained relatively  unchanged at 7.1% for
the three  months  ended  September  30, 2000 and 1999,  respectively.  Interest
income on mortgage-backed  securities decreased by $10,000 to $153,000,  for the
three months ended  September 30, 2000,  from $163,000 for the same quarter last
year,  due  principally  to a  decrease  in average  balance of  mortgage-backed
securities to $8.2 million from $9.8 million, partially offset by an increase in
average yield on mortgage-backed securities to 7.5%, from 6.7%. The decreases in
average  balance of  mortgage-backed  securities and the increase in the average
yield was attributable to principal repayments of lower yielding mortgage-backed
securities.

     Interest  income  on  investment  securities  and  short-term   investments
("Investments")  increased  $101,000 to $1.7  million for the three months ended
September 30, 2000,  from $1.6 million for the three months ended  September 30,
1999.  The average  balance of  Investments  decreased to $100.1 million for the
three months ended September 30, 2000, from $101.3 million for the prior period.
Average yield of  Investments  increased to 6.7%,  from 6.2%,  due to changes in
market rates.

     Total interest  expense  increased by  approximately  $361,000,  during the
quarter  ended  September  30, 2000 to $3.8  million  from $3.4  million for the
quarter


<PAGE>



ended September 30, 1999. This increase was the result of an increase in average
balance of  interest-bearing  liabilities to $284.9 million from $276.9 million,
and an  increase in the  average  rate paid on  deposits to 5.3% from 4.9%.  The
increase  in the  average  balances  of  interest-bearing  liabilities  and  the
increase in rate paid were a result of general  market  conditions and increased
marketing in connection with opening of a new branch.

     As a result of the  foregoing  changes,  interest  expense  increased  by a
greater  amount as compared to interest  income  resulting  in a decrease in net
interest  income of  $99,000,  to $1.9  million  during the three  months  ended
September  30, 2000,  as compared to $2.0 million  during the three months ended
September 30, 1999.

Provision for Loan Losses

     The Company  made no  provision  for loan losses for the three months ended
September  30, 2000,  and $12,000  during the three months ended  September  30,
1999. The allowance, which was $742,000 at September 30, 2000, is established in
accordance with generally  accepted  accounting  principles and exists to absorb
losses  inherent  in the  Company's  overall  loan  portfolio.  In  addition  to
historical loss experience,  the Company considers other factors that are likely
to cause credit losses;  including  changes in economic and business  conditions
and developments,  changes in the nature and volume of the portfolio,  trends in
the level of past due and  classified  loans,  and the  status of  nonperforming
loans. Based on management's review and analysis,  the allowance for loan losses
as of September 30, 2000, is considered adequate.

Noninterest Income

     Noninterest  income increased by  approximately  $28,000 to $127,000 during
the three months ended  September 30, 2000,  as compared to $100,000  during the
three months ended  September 30, 1999. The increase was primarily the result of
increases  in  service  fees and  charges,  principally  income  from the Bank's
subsidiary's  sale of  nondeposit  investment  products,  and  income  from life
insurance contracts.

Noninterest Expense

     Noninterest  expense  for  the  three  months  ended  September  30,  2000,
increased by approximately  $126,000,  to $810,000  compared to $684,000 for the
three months  ended  September  30,  1999.  The increase was due to increases in
compensation and employee benefits, occupancy,  advertising, and other expenses,
partially  offset by a decrease in Savings  Association  Insurance  Fund deposit
insurance premiums.  The increased expenses resulted primarily from the new full
service branch which opened in April, 2000.  Compensation and employee benefits
also increased  further as a result of the Company's  lower deferral of costs of
originating loans because of lower lending levels.


<PAGE>




Provision for Income Taxes

     Provision  for income taxes for the three months ended  September 30, 2000,
totaled $447,000,  compared to $498,000 for the three months ended September 30,
1999.  The effective  income tax rates for the three months ended  September 30,
2000 and 1999, were 35.9% and 34.8%, respectively.

Classified Loans

     Loans  which were 90 or more days  delinquent  but still  accruing  totaled
$30,000 at  September  30, 2000,  and $5,000 at June 30, 2000.  Loans 90 or more
days delinquent and not accruing totaled $2.6 million at September 30, 2000, and
$2.5 million at June 30, 2000. As of September 30, 2000,  the Company had a $2.5
million loan which matured in June 1998, and has not been repaid. Management has
obtained a current  appraisal,  and based in part on such appraisal,  management
believes the Company will not incur a material loss on this loan.

Liquidity

     The Company is required to maintain  levels of liquid  assets as defined by
Office of Thrift Supervision  regulations.  This requirement,  which varies from
time to time  (currently  set at 4%)  depending  upon  economic  conditions  and
deposit flows, is based upon a percentage of deposits and short-term borrowings.
The Company's liquidity ratio averaged 37.73% during the quarter ended September
30, 2000, and equaled 37.91% at September 30, 2000.

Common Stock Repurchase Plan

     As of September  30, 2000,  the Company had  repurchased a total of 667,416
shares in  connection  with its  repurchase  plan.  The Board of  Directors  has
authorized  the Company to repurchase up to an additional  356,025 shares as, in
the opinion of management, market conditions warrant.
