We have reviewed the condensed  consolidated  balance sheet of Lenawee  Bancorp,
Inc. as of September 30, 2000, the related condensed consolidated  statements of
income and  comprehensive  income for the quarter and year to date periods ended
September  30, 2000 and 1999 and the condensed  consolidated  statements of cash
flows for the year to date  periods  ended  September  30, 2000 and 1999.  These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.

We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American
Institute  of  Certified  Public  Accountants.  A review  of  interim  financial
information consists principally of applying analytical  procedures to financial
data and making  inquiries of persons  responsible  for financial and accounting
matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance
with  generally  accepted  auditing  standards,  the  objective  of which is the
expression of an opinion  regarding the financial  statements  taken as a whole.
Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material  modifications that should
be made to the  accompanying  financial  statements for them to be in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.

(e)   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENT (unaudited)

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The unaudited condensed  consolidated  financial  statements of Lenawee Bancorp,
Inc. (the "Company")  have been prepared in accordance  with generally  accepted
accounting  principles for interim financial information and the instructions to
Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they 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 normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a
fair  presentation  have been  included.  Operating  results  for the nine month
period ending  September 30, 2000 are not necessarily  indicative of the results
that  may be  expected  for the year  ending  December  31,  2000.  For  further
information,  refer  to the  consolidated  financial  statements  and  footnotes
thereto  included in the  Company's  Annual Report on Form 10 for the year ended
December 31, 1999.

In June 1998,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  (the  FASB)  issued
Statement No. 133 Accounting for Derivative  Instruments and Hedging  Activities
(SFAS 133),  subsequently  amended by SFAS No. 137 and 138, which the Company is
required to adopt  effective  January 1, 2001. SFAS 133 will require the company
to record  all  derivatives  on the  balance  sheet at fair  value.  Changes  in
derivative  fair values will either be  recognized in earnings as offsets to the
changes in fair value of related hedged assets, liabilities and firm commitments
or, for forecasted  transactions,  deferred and recorded as a component of other
stockholders'  equity until the hedged  transactions occur and are recognized in
earnings. The ineffective portion of a hedging derivative's change in fair value
will be  immediately  recognized  in  earnings.  The  impact  of SFAS 133 on the
company's  financial  statements will depend on a variety of factors,  including
future interpretative guidance from the FASB, the future level of forecasted and
actual  foreign  currency  transactions,  the  extent of the  Company's  hedging
activities,  the types of hedging instruments used and the effectiveness of such
instruments.  However,  the Company does not believe the effect of adopting SFAS
133 will be material to its financial position.

NOTE 2 - LOAN SERVICING
Mortgage  loans  serviced  for  others  are  not  included  in the  accompanying
consolidated  statements.  The  unpaid  principal  balances  of  mortgage  loans
serviced for others was  approximately  $207,426,000 and $172,359,000 at the end

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

This discussion provides information about the consolidated  financial condition
and results of operations of Lenawee Bancorp,  Inc. and its subsidiary,  Bank of
Lenawee ("Bank"),  as of September 30, 2000 for the three and nine month periods
ending September 30, 2000 and 1999.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Securities
Investment  securities  decreased to $20.4  million at  September  30, 2000 from
$23.0 million at December 31, 1999. With no purchases of securities during 2000,
this decline was solely the result of principal  repayments  on mortgage  backed
securities and maturities  within the portfolio.  No securities were sold during
the nine months ended  September 30, 2000. The mix of the  securities  portfolio
has remained relatively unchanged from December 31, 1999.

Loans
Net loans  receivable  increased  6% from $192.7 at December  31, 1999 to $205.0
million at September 30, 2000.  This growth was  primarily in  commercial  loans
with consumer and mortgage loans remaining relatively unchanged.

Credit Quality
The  Company  continues  to  monitor  the asset  quality  of the loan  portfolio
utilizing  a loan  review  officer  who,  combined  with  external  loan  review
specialists,  periodically  submits  reports to the Chief Lending Officer and to
the Board of Directors regarding the credit quality of the loan portfolio.  This
review is independent of the loan approval process.  Also,  management continues
to monitor  delinquencies,  nonperforming  assets and potential problem loans to
assess the continued quality of the Company's loan portfolio.


                                     Page 9

Nonperforming  loans are  comprised of (1) loans  accounted  for on a nonaccrual
basis,  (2)  loans  contractually  past  due 90 days or more as to  interest  or
principal  payments (but not included in the nonaccrual  loans in (1) above) and
(3) other  nonperforming  loans (but not  included  in (1) or (2)  above)  which
consist of loan arrangements  under the Business Manager program.  The aggregate
amount of  nonperforming  loans, in thousands of dollars,  is shown in the table
below.  The  Company's  classifications  of  nonperforming  loans are  generally
consistent with loans identified as impaired.

The chart below shows the makeup of the Company's  nonperforming assets by type,

</TABLE>
Subsequent to December 31, 1999, the Company became aware of circumstances which
occurred  in 1999,  involving  loans to a single  borrower in which the Bank had
purchased a  participating  interest from another  financial  institution.  As a
result of these  circumstances,  management  concluded  that a loss was probable
and,  accordingly,  recorded  an  additional  provision  for loan losses of $2.3
million for 1999 on loans  outstanding of  approximately  $3 million.  This loan
relationship  is reflected in the above table in the  categories  of  nonaccrual
loans and other  nonperforming  loans at December 31, 1999.  In addition,  these
loans were  considered  to be impaired at December  31, 1999.  During  September
2000,  a charge-off  of $2.3  million was  recorded  for this loan  relationship
reducing the outstanding balance to $287,000 at September 30, 2000.

The  provision  for loan  losses for the first nine  months of 2000 was  $30,000
compared to $155,000  for the same period in 1999.  The  provision  provides for
currently anticipated losses in the loan portfolio. An analysis of the allowance
for loan losses,  in thousands of dollars,  for the nine months ended  September
30, 2000 and 1999 follows:

Deposits
Total  deposits at September 20, 2000 were $220.4 million at September 30, 2000,
an increase of 11% from  December 31,  1999.  The majority of this growth was in
certificates of deposit.  Management anticipates deposit growth to continue at a
moderate rate due to continued expansion in new and existing markets.

Liquidity
The Bank  maintained an average funds  borrowed  position for the nine months of
2000,  although  generally  the Bank moves in and out of the fed funds market as
liquidity  needs vary.  Borrowings  decreased  from December 31, 1999 as deposit
growth exceeded loan growth,  and management  anticipates  that deposit and loan
growth will cause  continued  variation in the short-term  funds position of the
Bank. The Company has a number of additional  liquidity  sources should the need
arise, and management has no concerns for the liquidity position of the Company.

Capital Resources
The  capital  ratios  of the Bank  exceed  the  regulatory  guidelines  for well
capitalized  institutions.  The following  table shows the Bank's capital ratios
and ratio calculations at September 30, 2000 and 1999 and December 31, 1999.

Results of Operations

Net Interest Income
Net  interest  margin  and  spread  both  decreased  for the nine  months  ended
September 30, 2000  compared to the same period in 1999.  This  reduction,  when
compared  to  1999,  is  primarily  a result  of the  increasing  interest  rate
environment.  The  Company's  funding costs have risen at a faster pace than the
yield on earning assets. However, the Company's margin remains quite strong, and
management continues to take steps to neutralize some portion of this risk.

The following  table shows the year to date daily average  Consolidated  Balance
Sheet,  interest earned or paid, and the annualized effective rate or yield, for
the nine month periods ended September 30, 2000 and 1999.

Noninterest Income
For the first nine months of 2000,  noninterest income from banking products and
services  has  declined  15% as  compared  to the same  period  in 1999.  Rising
interest rates have slowed the  originations of residential  mortgage loans and,
accordingly, the Company's volume of loan sales. A decrease in net gains on loan
sales of $380,000, or 47%, contributed  significantly to the overall noninterest
income  decline.  This  decrease was  partially  offset by an increase of 20% in
services charges and fees due to deposit growth. However, noninterest income for
the three months ended  September 30, 2000 has increased over the same period in
1999 primarily due to increases in service charges and fees.

Noninterest Expenses
Noninterest   expense  has  continued  to  increase  over  prior  year  periods,
reflecting  continued  growth  and  expansion  of the  Bank.  Total  noninterest
expense,  excluding provision for loan losses, for the first nine months of 2000
increased  4% from the same  period  in 1999.  Salaries  and  employee  benefits
decreased 1% as compared to the nine months ended  September 30, 1999.  This was
mainly  attributable  to a decreased level of employee  incentive  compensation.
When compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1999, the category of other
noninterest  expense  increased  23% in 2000.  This increase is due to increased
costs related to ATM service charges,  insurance,  donations, and mobile banking
security.  Management  expects  these  costs  to  continue  rising  as the  Bank
experiences continued growth.

Federal Income Tax
There has been no  significant  change in the income tax position of the Company
during the third quarter of 2000.

Forward-Looking Statements
Statements  contained  in  Management's  Discussion  and  Analysis of  Financial
Condition and Results of Operations include forward-looking  statements that are
based on management's beliefs, assumptions, current expectations,  estimates and
projections about the financial  services industry,  the economy,  and about the
Company itself. Words such as "anticipate,"  "believe," "determine," "estimate,"
"expect,"  forecast,   "intend,"  "is  likely,"  "plan,"  "project,"  "opinion,"
variations of such terms, and similar  expressions are intended to identify such
forward-looking  statements.  The presentations and discussions of the provision
and  allowance  for loan  losses,  and  determinations  as to the need for other
allowances presented in this report are inherently forward-looking statements in
that they  involve  judgements  and  statements  of belief as to the  outcome of
future events.  These  statements are not guarantees of future  performance  and
involve  certain risks,  uncertainties,  and  assumptions  that are difficult to
predict with regard to timing,  extent,  likelihood,  and degree of  occurrence.
Therefore,  actual results and outcomes may  materially  differ from what may be
expressed  or  forecasted  in  such  forward-looking  statements.  Internal  and
external  factors that may cause such a difference  include  changes in interest
rates and interest rate  relationships;  demand for products and  services;  the
degree of competition by traditional and non-traditional competitors; changes in
banking laws and regulations;  changes in tax laws;  changes in prices,  levies,
and  assessments;  the  impact  of  technological  advances;   governmental  and
regulatory  policy  changes;  the outcomes of pending and future  litigation and
contingencies;  trends in customer behavior and customer ability to repay loans;
software  failure,  errors or  miscalculations;  the  ability of the  Company to
locate and correct all data sensitive computer code; and the vicissitudes of the
national  economy.  The Company  undertakes no  obligation  to update,  amend or
clarify  forward-looking  statements,  whether  as a result of new  information,
future events, or otherwise.

ITEM 3 - QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Company's  primary  market risk exposure is interest rate risk and liquidity
risk. All of the Company's  transactions are denominated in U.S. dollars with no
specific foreign exchange exposure.

                                    Page 13
<PAGE>
The Company has a limited  exposure to commodity  prices related to agricultural
loans.  Any impacts that changes in foreign  exchange rates and commodity prices
would have on interest rates are assumed to be insignificant.

Interest rate risk (IRR) is the exposure of a banking  organization's  financial
condition to adverse movements in interest rates.  Accepting this risk can be an
important  source of profitability  and stockholder  value;  however,  excessive
levels of IRR could pose a  significant  threat to the  Company's  earnings  and
capital base.  Accordingly,  effective  risk  management  that  maintains IRR at
prudent levels is essential to the Company's safety and soundness.

Evaluating  a financial  institution's  exposure  to changes in  interest  rates
includes  assessing both the adequacy of the management  process used to control
IRR and the organization's  quantitative  level of exposure.  When assessing the
IRR management process,  the Company seeks to ensure that appropriate  policies,
procedures, management information systems and internal controls are in place to
maintain IRR at prudent levels with  consistence and continuity.  Evaluating the
quantitative  level of IRR exposure  requires the Company to assess the existing
and potential  future effects of changes in interest  rates on its  consolidated
financial condition, including capital adequacy, earnings, liquidity, and, where
appropriate, asset quality.

The Company has not experienced a material  change in its financial  instruments
that are sensitive to changes in interest rates since  December 31, 1999,  which
information can be located in the Company's Form 10 Registration Statement.
