Newberry Federal Savings Bank
Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2000

Note 1  -	Organization
	DutchFork Bancshares, Inc. was incorporated under the laws of Delaware
in February 2000 for the purpose of serving as the holding company of
Newberry Federal Savings Bank as part of the Bank's conversion from
the mutual to stock form of organization.  The conversion, completed on
July 5, 2000, resulted in the Company issuing an aggregate of 1,560,550
shares of its common stock, par value $.01 per share, at a price of $10 per
share.  Prior to the conversion, the Company had not engaged in any
material operations and had no assets or income.  The Company is a
savings and loan holding company and subject to regulation by the Office
of Thrift Supervision and the Securities and Exchange Commission.  The
accompanying unaudited financial statements at and for the three and
nine months ended June 30, 2000, including the "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operation and Financial
Conditions" in Item 2 of this Form  10-QSB, reflect such information for
the Bank and its subsidiary only.  Net proceeds after expenses of the
offering was $14,634,064.  Of this amount, $1,248,440 was loaned to the
Company's ESOP and $13,229,000 was added to the capital of the Bank.

Note 2  -	Accounting Principles
	The accompanying unaudited financial statements of the Bank have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
interim financial information and with instructions to Form 10-QSB and
of Regulation S-B.  Accordingly, the financial statements 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 of a normal recurring nature)
considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
Operating results for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2000 are
not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the
current fiscal year.

Note 3  -	Earnings Per Share
	No earnings per share amounts have been presented since no shares were
outstanding during the periods presented.

Note 4 -Regulatory Capital Requirements
The Office of Thrift Supervision capital regulations require savings
institutions to meet minimum capital standards.  Failure to meet minimum
capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory - and possibly
additional discretionary - actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could
have a direct material effect on the Bank's financial statements.  Under
capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt
corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that
involve quantitative measures of the Bank's assets, liabilities and certain
off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting
practices.  The Bank's capital amounts and classification are also subject
to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk
weightings and other factors.

As of December 31, 1998, the most recent notification from the Office of
Thrift Supervision categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the
regulatory framework for prompt corrective action.  To be categorized as
well capitalized, the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, core
and tangible ratios as set forth in the table.  There are no conditions or
events since that notification that management believes have changed the
institution's category.

<PAGE>


The Bank's actual capital amounts and ratios are presented in the
following table:

Newberry Federal Savings Bank
Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Income
Nine Months Ended June 30, 2000


The pro forma condensed consolidated statement of income has
been computed assuming the conversion was completed at the beginning
of the fiscal year (i.e. October 1, 1999), and pro forma income has been
calculated as if the net proceeds had been invested at 5.71%  beginning
on that date, which represents the one-year U.S. Treasury Bill yield as of
October 1, 1999.  Income taxes have been calculated on the additional
income using the tax rate that would have been in effect if the proceeds
had been invested in U.S. Treasury Bills.

Forward Looking Statements

This prospectus contains forward-looking statements that are based on
assumptions and describe future plans, strategies, and expectations of
Newberry Federal and DutchFork Bancshares.  These forward looking
statements are generally identified by use of the words "believe," "expect,"
"intend,"  "anticipate,"  "estimate,"  "project," or similar expressions.
Newberry Federal's and DutchFork Bancshares' ability to predict results or
the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain.
Factors which could have a material adverse effect on the operations of
Newberry Federal and DutchFork Bancshares and their subsidiaries include,
but are not limited to, changes in interest rates, general economic
conditions, legislative/regulatory changes, monetary and fiscal policies of
the U.S. Government, including policies of the U.S. Treasury and the
Federal Reserve Board, the quality and composition of the loan or
investment portfolios, demand for loan products, deposit flow, competition,
demand for financial services in Newberry Federal's and DutchFork
Bancshares' market area and accounting principles.  These risks and
uncertainties should be considered in evaluating forward looking statements
and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements.

Operating Strategy

Newberry Federal is an independent, community oriented savings bank,
delivering quality customer service and offering a wide range of deposit and
loan products to its customers.  Because of weak loan demand in Newberry
Federal's primary market area, management has maintained a substantial
investment in investment securities and mortgage backed securities
classified as available-for-sale.  Management's objective in managing the
securities portfolio is to maintain a portfolio of high quality, highly liquid
investments with competitive returns in order to maximize current income
without compromising credit quality.

Comparison of Financial Condition at June 30, 2000 and September 30,
1999:

	Total assets increased by $23.9 million from $211.2 million at
September 30, 1999 to $235.1 million at June 30, 2000, primarily as a result
of an $8.9 million increase in mortgage-backed securities and a $14.1 million
increase in cash and cash equivalents.  The increase in cash and cash
equivalents was primarily due to amounts received and on deposit for the
purchase of stock in the conversion that was completed on July 5, 2000.
Loans receivable increased $2.1 million during the same period.  Deposit
accounts increased $33.3 million from $137.5 at September 30, 1999 to
$170.8 million at June 30, 2000.  An increase of $19.3 million in deposit
accounts represented deposits held in escrow for the purchase of stock in the
stock conversion. Management attributes the remaining $14.0 million growth
to competitive pricing and the closing of branches of other banks in its
primary market area.

	At June 30, 2000, total equity was $16.8 million, which consisted of
retained earnings of $21.5 million reduced by a $4.7 million unrealized loss,
net of taxes, on the investment securities and mortgage-backed securities
portfolios classified as available for sale.

	Non-performing assets and troubled debt restructuring decreased from
$243,000 at September 30, 1999 to $69,000 at June 30, 2000, primarily due to
an improvement in delinquencies.

<PAGE>


Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended June 30,
2000 and September 30, 1999:

	Net Income

	Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2000 remained
relatively constant when compared with the same period for the prior year.
Net interest income increased by $191,000 but was offset by a decrease in
non-interest income of $44,000 and a $147,000 increase in non-interest
expense.

Net Interest Income

	Net interest income increased from $1.3 million for the three months
ended June 30, 1999 to $1.5 million for the same period in 2000.  The
average interest rate spread declined slightly, but overall average balances
of interest earnings assets increased by $38.4 million with a $42.3 million
increase in interest bearing liabilities.  The interest rate spread on the
greater volume of assets resulted in an increase in net interest income.

Non-Interest Income

	Non-interest income decreased by $55,000 due to fewer gains on the
sale of securities.   Increase in bank service charges was offset by decreases
in other income, including loan servicing fees and miscellaneous.

Provision for Loan Loses and Non-Interest Income

	Non-interest income decreased by $44,000 due to fewer gains on the
sale of securities.  Increase in bank service charges was offset by decreases
in other income including loan servicing fees and miscellaneous.

Non-Interest Expense

	Non-interest expense increased from $1.0 million for the three
months ended June 30, 1999 to $1.2 million for the three months ended
June 30, 2000 primarily as a result of increase in contributions of
$58,000, data processing expense of $45,000, professional fees of $7,000
and costs of $40,000 related to an interest rate cap.  Increase in
contributions was due to board decisions for community support and data
processing expense increased due to system revisions.  The cost of the
interest rate cap is due to efforts to limit exposure to increasing interest
rates.

Provisions for Income Taxes

	Income tax expense increased by only $4,000 due to the moderate
increase in income before taxes.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Nine Months Ended June 30,
2000 and 1999

Net Income

	Net income increased $129,000 from $832,000 to $961,000 for the same
period in 2000 primarily as a result of a $1.1 million increase in net interest
income, partially offset by $175,000 increase in the provision for loan losses,
a $123,000 decrease in non-interest income and a $615,000 increase in non-
interest expense.



<PAGE>

Net Interest Income

	Net interest income increased from $3.5 million for the nine months
ended June 30, 1999 to $4.7 million for the nine months ended June 30,
2000 due to an increase of .39% in the net interest rate spread and an overall
increase in balances.  Interest income increased by $2.4 million due to a
$33.6 million increase in average interest earning assets and a .43% increase
in average yield.    Interest expense increased $1.3 million due to a $35.7
million increase in average interest bearing liabilities and a .04% increase in
average cost of funds.

Provision for Loan Losses

	Provisions for loan losses are charged to operations to bring the
total allowance for loan losses to a level that management considers
adequate to provide for estimated losses based on management's
evaluation of the collectibility of the loan portfolio, including the nature
of the portfolio, credit concentrations, trends in historical loss experience,
any specified impaired loans, and economic conditions.  The provision
for loan losses increased from $120,000 for the nine months ended June
30, 1999 to $295,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2000.
Management deemed the increase in the provision for loan losses
warranted based upon its evaluation of current economic conditions,
particularly the recent rise in interest rates and gasoline prices, and their
adverse effect on the ability of Newberry Federal's consumer loan
borrowers to repay their loans.  The majority of Newberry Federal's
consumer loan borrowers are low-income or middle-income individuals
who have to commute above average distances to work because they live
in rural areas.  The recent rise on gasoline prices adversely affects their
ability to meet their consumer loan obligations because the higher prices
divert available funds away from consumer debt service.  Furthermore, if
they have adjustable rate mortgage loans, the recent rise in interest rates
leads to higher mortgage debt service obligations and, based on historical
experience, these individuals tend to default on their consumer loan
obligations in order to satisfy their mortgage loan obligations.  Although
management uses the best information available, future adjustments to the
allowance may be necessary due to changes in economic, operating,
regulatory and other conditions that may be beyond Newberry Federal's
control.  While Newberry Federal maintains its allowance for loan losses
at a level which it considers adequate to provide for estimated losses,
there can be no assurance that further additions will not be made to the
allowance for loan losses and that actual losses will not exceed estimated
losses.

Non-Interest Income

	Non-interest income decreased $123,000 from $904,000 for the nine
months ended June 30, 2000 to $781,000 for the same period in 2000
primarily due to fewer sales of securities because of the interest rate
environment which resulted in fewer opportunities for restructuring the
investment portfolio.

Non-Interest Expense

	Non-interest expense increased $615,000 from $2.9 million for the
nine months ended June 30, 1999 to $3.6 million for the nine months
ended June 30, 2000 primarily as result of a $300,000 increase in
charitable contributions, a $103,000 increase in compensation and
benefits associated with the hiring of new employees and annual
incentive pay accruals, a $100,000 increase in data processing expense
associated with computer hardware and software upgrades, a $60,000
increase in professional fees associated with computer system revisions

<PAGE>



and costs of $50,000 associated with an interest rate cap.  The cost of the
interest rate cap is due to efforts to limit exposure to increasing interest
rates.

Provision for Income Taxes

	Provision for income taxes increased $87,000 from $553,000 for the
nine months ended June 30, 1999 to $640,000 for the nine months ended June
30, 2000 as result of increased income before income taxes.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

		On July 5, 2000, the Company closed its conversion whereby 1,560,550
shares of stock were issued at a price of $10.00 per share.  The net proceeds
to the Company after expenses and stock acquired by the employee stock
ownership plan (through a loan from the company) were approximately
$13.5 million.  The majority of the proceeds were used to provide additional
capital to Bank.

		Management believes that the Company's liquidity remains adequate to
meet operating, investment and loan funding requirements.  Cash and cash
equivalents, along with investments and mortgage backed securities available
for sale represented 61.8% of assets at June 30, 2000.

		Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term responsibility of
management the company adjusts its investments in liquid assets based
upon management's assessment of expected loan demand, expected deposit
flows, yields available on interest-earning deposits and investment
securities, and the objectives of its asset/liability management program.
Excess liquid assets are invested generally in interest-earning overnight
deposits and short- and intermediate-term U.S. Government and agency
obligations and mortgage-backed securities.  If the company requires funds
beyond its ability to generate them internally, it has additional borrowing
capacity with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta.

		The desired level of liquidity for the Company is determined by
management in conjunction with the Asset/Liability Committees of Newberry
Federal. The level of liquidity is based on management's strategic direction
for the Company's commitments to make loans and the Committees'
assessment of the bank's ability to generate funds.  Historically, sources of
liquidity have included net deposits to savings accounts, amortization and
prepayments of loans, Federal Home Loan Bank advances, reverse repurchase
agreements and sales of securities and loans held for sale.

		The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements imposed
by the Office of Thrift Supervision.  At June 30, 2000 Newberry Federal was
in compliance with all applicable capital requirements.

Interest Rate Risk

	A large percentage of Newberry Federal's interest-earning assets have
longer maturities than the maturities of Newberry Federal's interest-bearing
liabilities, which reduces Newberry Federal's income as interest rates rise.
Due to Newberry Federal's above average interest rate risk, the Office of
Thrift Supervision imposed certain interest rate sensitivity measures as a
condition to the conversion to a stock form.  With the additional capital
from the conversion, the Bank will comply with the interest rate sensitivity
measure.

<PAGE>





	At June 30, 2000, the Bank had entered into contracts that limit its
exposure in the event of rising interest rates.  The cost of the contract is
being amortized over the term of the agreement.  The contracts provide
for payments to be made to the Bank to cover the one-month libor rate in
excess of the contract rate on the principal amount of the contract as
follows:
