                      NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                             SEPTEMBER 30, 2000


NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

	The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial
information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and Item 310 of
Regulation S-B promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by
generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of those of a
normal recurring nature) considered necessary for a fair presentation have
been included.  Operating results for the three-month and nine-month periods
ended September 30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results that
may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2000.  These statements
should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and footnotes
thereto included in the annual report for the year ended December 31, 1999.


NOTE 2 - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

	In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No.
133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities."  SFAS No.
133 establishes new accounting and reporting activities for derivatives.  The
Standard requires all derivatives to be (i) measured at fair market value and
(ii) recognized as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet.  Under
certain conditions, a derivative may be specifically designated as a hedge.
Accounting for the changes in fair value of a derivative depends on the
intended use of the derivative and the resulting designation.  In July 1999,
the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 137, "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - Deferral of the Effective Date
of SFAS No. 133."  SFAS No. 137 delays the effective date of SFAS No. 133 for
one year.  In June 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS
No. 138, "Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging
Activities, an amendment of SFAS No. 133."  SFAS No. 138 amends certain
provisions of SFAS No. 133.  Adoption of the Standard is required for the
Company's December 31, 2001, financial statements with early adoption allowed
as of the beginning of any quarter after June 30, 1998.  Adoption is not
expected to result in a material financial impact based on the Company's
limited use of derivatives.


Item 2 - Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
of Operation.
-------------

	The following discussion and analysis provides information which the
Company believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of the
Company's results of operations and financial condition.  This discussion
should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and accompanying
notes appearing in this report.


Overview
--------

	Islands Bancorp (the "Company") was incorporated on July 23, 1999 to
serve as a holding company for a proposed de novo bank, Islands Community
Bank, N.A. (in organization), Beaufort, South Carolina (the "Bank").  On
August 25, 1999, the Company succeeded to all the assets and liabilities of a
partnership that had been established by the organizers of the Bank in
December of 1998 and through which the organizers' activities had been
conducted.  The Company is still in a development stage and will remain in
that stage until the Bank opens for business.  Since its inception, the
Company's main focus has been centered on activities relating to the
organization of the Company and the Bank, conducting the Company's initial
public offering, applying to the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency
(the "OCC") for a national bank charter, applying to the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC") for deposit insurance, applying to the
Federal Reserve Board (the "FRB") for the Company to become a bank holding
company with respect to the Bank, and identifying and acquiring the Company's
permanent principal office and banking site.  On February 1, 2000, the Company
received preliminary approval from the OCC to charter the Bank.  On March 10,
2000, the Company received preliminary approval from the FDIC for insurance of
the Bank's deposits and, on May 11, 2000, the FRB granted the Company prior
approval to become a bank holding company with respect to the Bank.

	The Company has filed a Registration Statement on Form SB-2 with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") which Registration Statement
became effective March 13, 2000.  Pursuant to the Registration Statement, a
minimum of 630,000 shares of the Company's common stock, no par value per
share (the "Common Stock"), and a maximum of 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock
were registered for sale at an offering price of $10.00 per share.  As of the
date of this report, the Company had not yet received subscriptions for the
minimum number of shares of Common Stock being offered in the offering.  The
Company continues to solicit subscriptions for shares of Common Stock in order
to both complete the offering and commence banking operations by the end of
the first calendar quarter of 2001.  The Company has identified two separate
sites from which the Bank may commence operations.  The Company already has a
binding contract to purchase one of the above sites and is currently
negotiating to purchase a second site.


Financial Results
-----------------

	For the three-month periods ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, net loss
amounted to $84,983 and $60,634, respectively.  The losses were larger during
the three-month period ended September 30, 2000 as compared to the three-month
period ended September 30, 1999 because higher operational expenses, such as
salaries, benefits, interest, etc.  For the nine-month periods ended September
30, 2000 and 1999, net loss amounted to $216,347 and $91,582, respectively.
As the Company's pre-operating activities increased during the nine-month
period ended September 30, 2000 when compared the nine-month period ended
September 30, 1999, expenses increased accordingly.  For example, salaries and
benefits increased by $98,230, relocation expense increased by $24,161,
interest expense increased by $23,123 and rent expense increased by $11,048.

	The losses for three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30,
2000 resulted from expenses incurred in connection with activities related to
the organization of the Company and the Bank.  These activities included
preparing and filing applications with the OCC and the FDIC to charter the
Bank and to obtain deposit insurance, preparing an application with the FRB
for approval of the Company to become a bank holding company with respect to
the Bank, responding to questions and providing additional information to the
OCC, FDIC, and the FRB in connection with the application process, meetings
and discussions among various organizers regarding various pre-opening issues,
hiring qualified personnel to work for the Company and the Bank, conducting
public relations activities on behalf of the Bank, developing prospective
business contacts for the Company and the Bank, and taking other actions
necessary for a successful Bank opening.  In addition to the above losses, the
Company capitalized $257,990 in deferred registration costs which include
costs and expenses associated with preparing a prospectus, filing a
Registration Statement with the SEC, and selling the Company's Common Stock.
At the completion of a successful offering, deferred registration costs are
immediately deducted from the Company's equity accounts.  Registration costs
associated with an unsuccessful offering are charged to operations in the
period during which the offering is deemed unsuccessful.

	Because the Company is in the organizational stage, it has no operations
from which to generate revenues, with the exception of interest earned from
Common Stock subscribers' deposits.  Initially, the Bank anticipates deriving
its revenues principally from interest charged on loans and, to a lesser
extent, from interest earned on investments, fees received in connection with
the origination of loans and miscellaneous fees and service charges.  Its
principal expenses are anticipated to be interest expense on deposits and
operating expenses.  The funds for these activities are anticipated to be
provided principally by operating revenues, deposit growth, purchases of
federal funds from other banks, repayment of outstanding loans and sale of
loans and investment securities.

	The Bank's operations will depend substantially on its net interest
income, which is the difference between the interest income earned on its
loans and other asset and the interest expense paid on its deposits and other
borrowings.  This difference is largely affected by changes in market interest
rates, credit policies of monetary authorities, and other local, national or
international economic factors which are beyond the Bank's ability to predict
or control.  Large moves in interest rates may decrease or eliminate the
Bank's profitability.


Funding of Operations and Liquidity
-----------------------------------

	The Company's operations from inception have been funded through
advances from and purchases of Common Stock by the Company's organizers and
the aggregate amount of lines of credit from unrelated financial institutions.
As of September 30, 2000, the Company had a line of credit ("LOC") with an
unrelated financial institution with borrowing capacity of up to $700,000.
The LOC, which matures on December 30, 2000, is guaranteed by several of the
Company's organizers and carries an interest rate of prime less one-half
percent.  As of September 30, 2000, approximately $575,000 had been drawn on
the LOC.  The Company intends to use proceeds from its initial public offering
to repay the advances of its organizers and the balance owed on the LOC.  In
addition, the Company owes approximately $19,497 on a note secured by an
automobile.

	The Company believes the minimum net proceeds expected from the initial
public offering will provide sufficient capital to support the growth of both
the Company and the Bank for their initial years of operations.  The Company
does not anticipate that it will need to raise additional funds to meet
expenditures required to operate its business or that of the Bank over the
next 12 months.  All anticipated material expenditures during that period are
expected to be provided for out of the proceeds of the Company's initial
public offering.


Capital Expenditures
--------------------

	The Company has entered into an agreement for the purchase of
approximately 2.3 acres of land at 131 Sea Island Parkway (Federal Highway 21)
in Lady's Island, South Carolina, to be used as the site for either a main
office or a future branch of the Bank.  The purchase price under the agreement
is $520,000.  The purchase agreement is expected to be assigned at cost from
the Company to the Bank upon the commencement of Bank operations.  Promptly
following that assignment, the Bank is expected to close the purchase.  The
Company is entitled to extend the closing date of the land purchase up to six
months beyond the scheduled closing date of May 15, 2000 in return for the
non-refundable payment to the current landowner of $3,000 for each 30-day
extension.

	Should the Bank utilize the above site to construct its main office,
construction would commence shortly after the commencement of banking
operations.  The estimated cost of the building is approximately $1,050,000.
The Bank will fund the purchase of the real estate acquisition and the
construction of its main building with a portion of the net proceeds received
from the issuance of its common stock to the Company.  Construction of the
Bank's permanent facility at this site is expected to be completed by the end
of the fourth quarter of 2001.  Pending the completion of the permanent
facility, the Company expects to commence the Bank's operations from temporary
modular facilities located at this site.
