NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999
NOTE 1 - PEOPLES BANKCORP, INC.
------------------------------
Peoples Bankcorp, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated under the laws of the
State of New York for the purpose of becoming the holding company of Ogdensburg
Federal Savings and Loan Association (the "Association") in connection with the
Association's conversion from a federally chartered mutual savings and loan
association to a federally chartered capital stock savings and loan association.
On November 22, 1998, the Company commenced a subscription offering of its
shares in connection with the Association's conversion. The Company's offering
and the Association's conversion closed on December 28, 1998. A total of 134,390
shares were sold at $10.00 per share.
NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
--------------------------------------------------------------
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and on the same basis as the Company's
audited financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments,
consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary to present fairly the
financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the interim
periods presented have been included. The results of operations for such interim
periods are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full
year.
NOTE 3 - PLAN OF CONVERSION
---------------------------
On July 23, 1998, the Association's Board of Directors formally approved a plan
("Plan") to convert from a federally chartered mutual savings and loan
association to a federally chartered stock savings and loan association subject
to approval by the Association's members and the Office of Thrift Supervision.
The Plan called for the common stock of the Association to be purchased by the
Company and the common stock of the Company to be offered to various parties in
a subscription offering at a price based upon an independent appraisal of the
Association. All requisite approvals were obtained and the conversion and the
Company's offering were consummated effective December 28, 1998.
Upon consummation of the conversion, the Association established a liquidation
account in an amount equal to its retained earnings as reflected in the latest
statement of financial condition used in the final conversion prospectus. The
liquidation account will be maintained for the benefit of certain depositors of
the Association who continue to maintain their deposit accounts in the
Association after conversion. In the event of a complete liquidation of the
Association, such depositors will be entitled to receive a distribution from the
liquidation account before any liquidation may be made with respect to the
common stock.

PEOPLES BANKCORP, INC.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
The Company's assets consist primarily of its ownership of the Association. As
such, the following discussion relates primarily to the Association's financial
condition and results of operations. The Association's results of operations
depend primarily on net interest income, which is determined by (i) the
difference between rates of interest it earns on its interest-earning assets and
the rates it pays on interest-bearing liabilities (interest rate spread), and
(ii) the relative amounts of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing
liabilities.
The Association's results of operations are also affected by non-interest
expense, including primarily compensation and employee benefits, federal deposit
insurance premiums and office occupancy costs. The Association's results of
operations also are affected significantly by general and economic and
competitive conditions, particularly changes in market interest rates,
government policies and actions of regulatory authorities, all of which are
beyond its control.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
In addition to historical information contained herein, the following discussion
contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.
Economic circumstances, the Company's operations and the Company's actual
results could differ significantly from those discussed in the forward-looking
statements. Some of the factors that could cause or contribute to such
differences are discussed herein but also include changes in the economy and
interest rates in the nation and the Company's market area generally. Some of
the forward-looking statements included herein are the statements regarding
management's determination of the amount and adequacy of the allowance for
losses on loansand the effect of certain recent accounting pronouncements.
COMPARISON OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AT JUNE 30, 2000 AND DECEMBER 31, 1999
Total assets at June 30, 2000 amounted to $27.2 million, a $314,000, or 1.17%,
increase from December 31, 1999's level of $26.9 million. The composition of the
Company's balance sheet had changed somewhat with cash and cash equivalents
decreasing by $501,000 from $1.5 million at December 31, 1999 to $956,000 at
June 30, 2000, a decrease of 34.39%. Offsetting this decrease was a $710,000
increase in securities held to maturity from $3.9 million at December 31, 1999
to $4.6 million at June 30, 2000 for an increase of 18.37% and, to a lesser
extent, a $89,000 increase in net loans from $20.8 million at December 31, 1999
to $20.9 million at June 30, 2000. Total liabilities at June 30, 2000 had
increased by $230,000, or 0.96% from $24.1 million at December 31, 1999, to
$24.3 million at June 30, 2000. Deposits, which comprise the majority of total
liabilities, amounted to $23.1 million at June 30, 2000, up from $22.4 million
at December 31, 1999 for an increase of $625,000, or 2.79%, with decreases in
NOW and savings and club accounts being offset by increases in demand accounts
and certificates of deposit. Total stockholders' equity at June 30, 2000
amounted to $2.9 million as compared to $2.8 million at December 31, 1999 with
the $84,000 increase attributable to the retention of earnings from the period.
At June 30, 2000 the Association was in compliance with all applicable
regulatory capital requirements with total core and tangible capital of $2.5
million (9.3% of adjusted total assets) and total risk-based capital of $2.7
million (17.4%) of risk weighted assets).
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 AND 1999
NET INCOME. Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2000 and the three
months ended June 30, 1999 amounted to $39,000 and $34,000 respectively. The
$5,000 increase in net income for the 2000 period as compared to fiscal year
1999 was attributable to increased levels of net interest income and, to a
lesser extent, non-interest income, partially offset by the combined effects of
increases in non-interest expenses and the provision for loan losses. For the
six months ended June 30, 2000, net income amounted to $82,000 as compared to
$77,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1999 with the $5,000 or 6.49% increase
attributable to the aforementioned factors.
NET INTEREST INCOME. Net interest income before provision for loan losses
increased by $23,000, or 11.62%, from $198,000 for the three months ended June
30, 1999 to $221,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2000. The increase in
net interest income was primarily due to a $59,000 increase in interest income,
partially offset by a $36,000 increase in interest expense as compared to the
three months ended June 30, 1999. The increase in interest income was primarily
due to a $56,000 increase in interest from the securities portfolio due to the
purchase of a GNMA security. Interest expense for
8
<PAGE>
the quarter ended June 30, 2000 amounted to $290,000, a $36,000 increase from
the same period in 1999 with the increase attributable to a $20,000 increase in
interest expense due to FHLB borrowings as well as an increase in prevailing
interest rates. For the six months ended June 30, 2000, net interest income
before provision for loan losses amounted to $567,000, up from $508,000 for the
first half of fiscal year 1999 for an increase of $37,000 with the change due to
the aforementioned factors.
PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES. For the three months ended June 30, 2000, the Company
made an $11,000 provision for loan losses as compared to no provision for the
same period in 1999. The provision in 2000 reflected the level of charge-offs
during that period. For the six months ended June 30, 2000 the Company made a
$19,000 provision for loan losses as compared to an $11,000 provision for the
same period in 1999. The increased provision in the first half of fiscal year
2000 as compared to fiscal year 1999 was due to a higher level of charge-offs
during the period.
A provision for losses on loans is charged to earnings to bring the total
allowance for loan losses to a level considered appropriate by management based
on historical experience, the volume and type of lending conducted by the
Association, the status of past due principal and interest payments, general
economic conditions, particularly as such conditions relate to the Association's
market area, and other factors related to the collectibility of the
Association's loan portfolio. There can be no assurance that the loan loss
allowance of the Association will be adequate to cover losses on nonperforming
assets in the future.
NON-INTEREST INCOME. Non-interest income for the three months ended June 30,
2000 amounted to $18,000 as compared to $12,000 for the three months ended June
30, 1999 with the increase attributable to service charges. For the six months
ended June 30, 2000, non-interest income amounted to $28,000 as compared to
$27,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1999 with the increase due to a $4,000
increase in service charges, partially offset by a $3,000 reduction in other
non-interest income.
NON-INTEREST EXPENSES. Non-interest expenses for the second quarter of 2000
totaled $165,000, up from $150,000 for the first quarter of 1999 with the
increase primarily due to a $4,000 increase in postage supplies expenses, a
$5,000 increase in other non-interest expenses due to higher annual meeting
expenses and supervisory exam assesment, and a $3,000 increase in insurance
expense, partially offset by a $2,000 decrease in FDIC insurance premiums. The
decrease in this item was due to the decreased assessment rate paid by
institutions in connection with the FICO bonds. For the six months ended June
30, 2000, non-interest expenses totaled $321,000 which represented a $24,000
increase as compared to the first half of fiscal year 1999. The increase in the
first half of fiscal year 2000 was primarily attributable to the combined
effects of a $6,000 increase in insurance expense, a $5,000 increase in salaries
and employee benefits, a $5,000 increase in postage and supplies and a $4,000
increase in directors fees, partially offset by a $4,000 reduction in FDIC
insurance premiums. This reduction was due to the aforementioned reduction in
the assessment rate for premiums paid in connection with the FICO bonds.
INCOME TAX EXPENSE. Income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2000
amounted to $24,000, a $2,000 decrease from the same period in 1999 with the
decrease primarily attributable to an adjustment of tax accruals for taxable
income in 2000. The Company's effective tax rates for the respective periods
were 38.10% and 43.34%. For the six months ended June 30, 2000, income tax
expense amounted to $48,000, up from $47,000 for the same period in 1999 with
the increase primarily due to the increased level of pre-tax income. The
Company's effective tax rates for the first half of fiscal years 2000 and 1999
were 36.93% and 37.91%, respectively.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Association is required to maintain minimum levels of liquid assets as
defined by OTS regulations. This requirement, which varies from time to time
depending upon economic conditions and deposit flows, is based upon a percentage
of the Association's deposits and short-term borrowings. The required ratio at
June 30, 2000 was 4%. For the month ended June 30, 2000 the Association was in
compliance.
The Association's primary sources of funds are deposits, repayment of loans and
mortgage-backed securities, maturities of investments and interest-bearing
deposits, funds provided from operations. The Association is also able to obtain
advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York. While scheduled repayments
of loans and mortgage-backed securities and maturities of investment securities
are predicable sources of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly
influenced by the general level of interest rates, economic conditions and
competition. The Association uses its liquidity resources principally to fund
existing and future loan commitments, to fund maturing certificates of deposit
and demand deposit withdrawals, to invest in other interest-earning assets, to
maintain liquidity, and to meet operating expenses.

FINANCIAL MODERNIZATION LEGISLATION.
On November 12, 1999, President Clinton signed legislation which could have a
far-reaching impact on the financial services industry. The Gramm-Leach-Bliley
("G-L-B") Act authorizes affiliations between banking, securities and insurance
firms and authorizes bank holding companies and national banks to engage in a
variety of new financial activities. Among the new activities that will be
permitted to bank holding companies are securities and insurance brokerage,
securities underwriting, insurance underwriting and merchant banking. The Board
of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "Federal Reserve Board"), in
consultation with the Secretary of the Treasury, may approve additional
financial activities. The G-L-B Act, however, prohibits future acquisitions of
existing unitary savings and loan holding companies, like the Company, by firms
which are engaged in commercial activities and limits the permissible activities
of unitary holding companies formed after May 4, 1999.
The G-L-B Act imposes new requirements on financial institutions with respect to
customer privacy. The G-L-B Act generally prohibits disclosure of customer
information to non-affiliated third parties unless the customer has been given
the opportunity to object and has not objected to such disclosure. Financial
institutions are further required to disclose their privacy policies to
customers annually. Financial institutions, however, will be required to comply
with state law if it is more protective of customer privacy than the G-L-B Act.
The G-L-B Act directs the federal banking agencies, the National Credit Union
Administration, the Secretary of the Treasury, the Securities and Exchange
Commission and the Federal Trade Commission, after consultation with the
National Association of Insurance Commissioners, to promulgate implementing
regulations within six months of enactment. The privacy provisions will become
effective six months thereafter.
The G-L-B Act contains significant revisions to the FHLB System. The G-L-B Act
imposes new capital requirements on the FHLBs and authorizes them to issue two
classes of stock with differing dividend rates and redemption requirements. The
G-L-B Act deletes the current requirement that the FHLBs annually contribute
$300 million to pay interest on certain government obligations in favor of a 20%
of net earnings formula. The G-L-B Act expands the permissible uses of FHLB
advances by community financial institutions (under $500 million in assets) to
include funding loans to small businesses, small farms and small
agri-businesses. The G-L-B Act makes membership in the FHLB voluntary for
federal savings associations.
The G-L-B Act contains a variety of other provisions including a prohibition
against ATM surcharges unless the customer has first been provided notice of the
imposition and amount of the fee. The G-L-B Act reduces the frequency of
Community Reinvestment Act examinations for smaller institutions and imposes
certain reporting requirements on depository institutions that make payments to
non-governmental entities in connection with the Community Reinvestment Act. The
G-L-B Act eliminates the SAIF special reserve and authorizes a federal savings
association that converts to a national or state bank charter to continue to use
the term "federal" in its name and to retain any interstate branches.
The Company is unable to predict the impact of the G-L-B Act on its operations
at this time. Although the G-L-B Act reduces the range of companies with which
the Company may affiliate, it may facilitate affiliations with companies in the
financial services industry.
