GERMAN AMERICAN BANCORP
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 1999
(unaudited)

Note 1 -- Basis of Presentation

     Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting  Principles
have been condensed or omitted. Except for adjustments resulting from the merger
transactions  described  below,  all  adjustments  made by  management  to these
unaudited  statements were of a normal  recurring  nature.  It is suggested that
these  consolidated  financial  statements and notes be read in conjunction with
the  financial  statements  and notes thereto in the German  American  Bancorp's
December 31, 1998 Annual Report to Shareholders.

     German  American  Bancorp   (referred  to  herein  as  the  "Company,"  the
"Corporation," or the "Registrant") is a multi-bank holding company organized in
Indiana in 1982. The Company's  principal  subsidiaries  are The German American
Bank,  Jasper,  Indiana ("German  American Bank"),  First State Bank,  Southwest
Indiana,   Tell  City,  Indiana  ("First  State  Bank"),  First  American  Bank,
Vincennes,  Indiana ("First American"), and German American Holdings Corporation
("GAHC"),  an Indiana corporation that owns all of the outstanding capital stock
of both Citizens  State Bank,  Petersburg,  Indiana  ("Citizens  State") and the
Peoples National Bank, Washington, Indiana ("Peoples"). The Company, through its
five bank  subsidiaries,  operates  25  banking  offices  and five  full-service
insurance offices in eight contiguous counties in southwestern Indiana.

     On June 1, 1998 the Company  consummated  mergers with the parent companies
of Citizens State and FSB Bank of Francisco,  Indiana ("FSB Bank"). FSB Bank and
an existing affiliate,  Community Trust Bank of Petersburg,  Indiana were merged
into the Citizens  State charter on that date.  These mergers were accounted for
as poolings of interests.  The reported  operating  results for periods prior to
June 1, 1998 have been  retroactively  adjusted to give the effect to the merger
with  Citizens  State.  Prior  period  results do not  include the effect of the
merger  with FSB Bank,  as  restatement  would not have  resulted  in a material
change in overall financial results.

     In January 1999,  the Company issued  2,039,665  shares of common stock for
all the  outstanding  shares of 1ST  BANCORP of  Vincennes,  Indiana  and 62,000
shares of common stock for all the outstanding  shares of The Doty Agency,  Inc.
(Doty) of Petersburg,  Indiana.  These mergers were accounted for as poolings of
interests.  The reported  operating results for periods prior to the 1999 merger
date have been  retroactively  adjusted  to give  effect to the merger  with 1ST
BANCORP. Prior period results do not include the effect of the merger with Doty,
as restatement would not have resulted in a material change in overall financial
results. 1ST BANCORP's subsidiaries included First Federal Bank, First Financial
Insurance Agency,  Inc., and First Title Insurance  Company,  Inc. First Federal
Bank, now known as First American Bank, is headquartered in Vincennes,  Indiana.
First Financial Insurance Agency operates an office in Princeton,  Indiana. Doty
is a general  multi-line,  full-service  insurance  agency with offices in Pike,
Knox and Dubois counties in Indiana.

     Prior to 1999, 1ST BANCORP's  financial  statements were prepared on a June
30 fiscal year. Accordingly,  the Company's calendar period financial statements
for periods  prior to 1999 have been  restated  to include  1ST  BANCORP  fiscal
period financial  statements (i.e., the Company's  previously  reported December
31, 1998 balances were  combined with 1ST BANCORP June 30, 1998  balances).  1ST
BANCORP is  combined  with the Company on a calendar  period  basis for all 1999
periods. As a result of 1ST BANCORP'S prior fiscal reporting, the 1999 statement
of cash flows and Note 5 include  "acquired  affiliate"  amounts to adjust  from
fiscal to calendar period reporting.

     In  May  1999,  the  Company  issued  8,000  shares  of  common  stock  and
approximately  $26,000 in cash for all the  outstanding  shares of  Professional
Insurance  Markets,  Inc.  (which did  business  as Smith & Bell) of  Vincennes,
Indiana.  This merger was  accounted  for as a purchase.  Accordingly,  reported
operating results for periods prior to the merger have not been restated.  Smith
& Bell is a general  multi-line,  full-service  insurance agency with offices in
Knox County, Indiana.

     Comprehensive  income  includes  both net  income  and other  comprehensive
income.   Other   comprehensive   income   includes  the  change  in  unrealized
appreciation on securities available-for-sale, net of tax.

Note 2 -- Per Share Data

     The Board of Directors  declared and paid a 5 percent common stock dividend
in December 1998. In lieu of issuing  fractional  shares,  the company purchased
from shareholders their fractional  interest.  The Company issued 995,678 common
shares  related to the mergers with the parent  companies of Citizens  State and
FSB Bank on June 1, 1998 and 2,101,665  common shares  related to the mergers of
1ST BANCORP and Doty in January of 1999.  Earnings  per share  amounts have been
retroactively  computed  as though  these  additionally  issued  shares had been
outstanding for all periods presented.  Earnings per share amounts have not been
restated  for the  issuance of 8,000  common  shares  related to the purchase of
Smith & Bell in May 1999.  The  computation  of  Earnings  per Share and Diluted
Earnings per Share are provided as follows:

Note 6 - Business Combinations

     On June 1, 1998 the Company  acquired by merger CSB Bancorp of  Petersburg,
Indiana (and its wholly owned subsidiary,  Citizens State Bank of Petersburg) in
exchange for 928,475 shares of German American Bancorp common stock.  Fractional
interests  were  paid in cash of $3.  The  transaction  was  accounted  for as a
pooling of interests.

     Also  on June  1,  1998  the  Company  acquired  by  merger  FSB  Financial
Corporation of Francisco,  Indiana (and its wholly owned subsidiary, FSB Bank of
Francisco,  Indiana) in exchange for 67,203  shares of German  American  Bancorp
common stock. Fractional interests for this transaction were paid in cash of $2.
The  transaction was accounted for as a pooling of interests;  however,  results
for 1997 do not include the effect of this transaction, as restatement would not
have resulted in a material change in overall  financial  results.  Total assets
and  equity  of FSB Bank at the  date of  merger  were  $15.5  million  and $1.4
million, respectively.

     Effective  the first  business  day of January  1999,  the  Company  issued
2,039,665  shares for all the  outstanding  shares of 1ST BANCORP of  Vincennes,
Indiana and 62,000  shares for all the  outstanding  shares of The Doty  Agency,
Inc. (Doty) of Petersburg, Indiana. These mergers were accounted for as poolings
of  interests.  The  reported  operating  results for periods  prior to the 1999
merger date have been  retroactively  adjusted to give effect to the merger with
1ST BANCORP.  Prior period  results do not include the effect of the merger with
Doty, as  restatement  would not have  resulted in a material  change in overall
financial results.

     On May 10,  1999 the  Company  issued  8,000  shares  of  common  stock and
approximately  $26,000 in cash for all the  outstanding  shares of the corporate
owner of Smith & Bell of Vincennes,  Indiana. This merger was accounted for as a
purchase,  and resulted in the recording of approximately  $250,000 in goodwill.
The fair value of Smith & Bell's assets and  liabilities,  respectively,  at the
date of acquisition were approximately $160,000 and 250,000.  Reported operating
results for periods prior to the merger have not been restated.

     The following is a reconciliation of the separate and combined net interest
income and net income of German American  Bancorp,  1ST BANCORP and Doty for the
period prior to the acquisition:

declared its annual 5 percent stock dividend,  payable on or before December 15,
1999 to shareholders  of record on November 30, 1999.  Since this stock dividend
has not yet been issued,  earnings and dividends per share amounts have not been
restated for this dividend. The Board of Directors also declared a cash dividend
of $0.13 per share  payable on or before  November 20, 1999 to  shareholders  of
record on November 10, 1999.

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

     German  American  Bancorp ("the  Company") is a multi-bank  holding company
based in Jasper,  Indiana.  Its five  affiliate  banks  conduct  business  in 25
offices in Dubois,  Daviess,  Gibson,  Knox,  Martin,  Pike,  Perry and  Spencer
Counties in Southwest  Indiana.  Its  full-service  insurance  agencies  operate
offices in  Dubois,  Gibson,  Knox and Pike  Counties.  The banks and  insurance
agencies  provide  a wide  range  of  financial  services,  including  accepting
deposits;  making commercial,  mortgage and consumer loans; issuing property and
casualty,  title,  credit life,  accident and health insurance;  providing trust
services  for  personal  and  corporate   customers;   providing   safe  deposit
facilities; and providing investment advisory and brokerage services.

     This section presents an analysis of the consolidated  financial  condition
of the  Company  as of  September  30,  1999  and  December  31,  1998  and  the
consolidated  results of  operations  for the three and nine month periods ended
September 30, 1999 and 1998. This discussion  should be read in conjunction with
the  consolidated  financial  statements  and  other  financial  data  presented
elsewhere herein and with the financial  statements and other financial data, as
well as the  Management's  Discussion  and Analysis of Financial  Condition  and
Results of Operations  included in the Company's December 31, 1998 Annual Report
to Shareholders.

     On June 1, 1998 the Company  consummated  mergers with the parent companies
of Citizens State and FSB Bank of Francisco,  Indiana ("FSB Bank"). FSB Bank and
an existing affiliate,  Community Trust Bank of Otwell, Indiana were merged into
the Citizens  State  charter on that date.  The reported  operating  results for
periods  prior to June 1,  1998  have been  retroactively  adjusted  to give the
effect to the merger with Citizens State.  Prior year results do not include the
effect of the merger with FSB Bank, as restatement  would not have resulted in a
material change in overall financial results.

     In  January  1999,  the  Company  issued   2,039,665  shares  for  all  the
outstanding  shares of 1ST BANCORP of  Vincennes,  Indiana and 62,000 shares for
all the  outstanding  shares of The Doty  Agency,  Inc.  (Doty)  of  Petersburg,
Indiana. These mergers were accounted for as poolings of interests. The reported
operating  results  for  periods  prior  to  the  1999  merger  date  have  been
retroactively  adjusted  to give effect to the merger  with 1ST  BANCORP.  Prior
period results do not include the effect of the merger with Doty, as restatement
would not have resulted in a material change in overall financial results.

     In  May  1999,  the  Company  issued  8,000  shares  of  common  stock  and
approximately  $26,000 in cash for all the  outstanding  shares of  Professional
Insurance  Markets,  Inc.  (which does  business as Smith & Bell) of  Vincennes,
Indiana.  This merger was  accounted  for as a purchase.  Accordingly,  reported
operating results for periods prior to the merger have not been restated.  Smith
& Bell is a general  multi-line,  full-service  insurance agency with offices in
Knox County, Indiana.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Income:

     Net  income  was  $2,314,000  or $0.27  per  share  for the  quarter  ended
September  30,  1999  compared  to  $2,147,000  or $0.24 per share for the third
quarter  of 1998.  Net  interest  income  increased  $480,000,  or 6.3  percent.
Provision for Loan Losses  increased by $121,000.  Noninterest  income increased
$101,000 or 7.4 percent over 1998. Noninterest expense increased $269,000 or 4.6
percent from the prior year.

     Net  income for the nine  months  ended was  $6,820,000  or $0.78 per share
compared  to  $6,583,000  or $0.75 per share  for the  prior  year to date.  Net
interest income increased $1,125,000, or 4.9 percent.  Provision for Loan Losses
increased by $463,000 or 97.2 percent.  Noninterest income increased $859,000 or
23.3 percent over 1998.  Noninterest expense increased $1,413,000 or 8.5 percent
from the prior year.

     Increases in  noninterest  income and expense were  primarily the result of
three  insurance  agency  acquisitions in 1999, the 1998 operations of which are
not included in the Company's 1998 operating results.

Net Interest Income:

     The  following  table  summarizes  German  American  Bancorp's net interest
income (on a  tax-equivalent  basis,  at an effective tax rate of 34 percent for
each period) for each of the periods presented herein (dollars in thousands):

</TABLE>

     The  increase in net interest  income for the three months ended  September
30,  1999  compared  to the prior  year was due to a $577,000  increase  in loan
income,  a $286,000  increase in  investment  income and a $203,000  decrease in
interest expense on deposits,  offset by a $586,000 increase in interest expense
on  borrowings.  The increase in net interest  income for the year to date ended
September  30,  1999  compared  to 1998 was due to a $994,000  increase  in loan
income,  a $413,000  increase in  investment  income and a $812,000  decrease in
interest  expense on  deposits,  offset by a $1.1  million  increase in interest
expense on borrowings.

     Net interest  margin,  which  represents the average net effective yield on
earning assets, is tax-equivalent  net interest income expressed as a percentage
of average  earning  assets.  For the third  quarter of 1999,  the net  interest
margin was 3.88 percent  compared to 4.00 percent for the  comparable  period of
1998. Net interest  margin for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 was 3.89
compared  to  3.99  in  the  prior  year.  These  declines  were  due  to a more
competitive  pricing  environment  for loans and the effect of capital  leverage
strategies employed in the investment portfolio.


<PAGE>

Provision For Loan Losses:

     The Company  provides for estimated loan losses through regular  provisions
to the allowance for loan losses. These provisions are made at levels considered
necessary by  management to absorb  estimated  losses in the loan  portfolio.  A
detailed  evaluation  of the  adequacy  of this loan loss  reserve is  completed
quarterly by management.

     The  consolidated  provision  for loan losses was $298,000 and $939,000 for
the three and nine months ended  September  30, 1999.  This compares to $177,000
and $476,000 for the same respective periods in 1998. This increase in provision
was primarily due to growth in residential real estate mortgage loans and recent
charge-off  experience  in  non-conforming  mortgage  and  consumer  loans.  The
provision  for loan  losses to be recorded  in future  periods  will be adjusted
based on the results of on-going  evaluations  of the adequacy of the  allowance
for loan losses.

     Net charge-offs  were $340,000 or 0.21 annualized  percent of average loans
for the three  months  ended and $1.2  million  or 0.25  annualized  percent  of
average loans for the nine months ended  September 30, 1999. Net charge-offs for
the third  quarter and year to date ended  September  30, 1998 were  $459,000 or
0.10 annualized  percent and $1.1 million or 0.25 annualized  percent of average
loans, respectively.

     Nonperforming  loans as a percent of total loans at September 30, 1999 were
1.09  percent of total  loans,  which  represents a decline from 1.28 percent at
June 30, 1999.  Also, this is a decrease from 1.16 percent at December 31, 1998.
See  discussion  under  "Financial  Condition"  for more  information  regarding
nonperforming assets.

Noninterest Income:

     Noninterest  income for the third quarter of 1999 increased $101,000 or 7.4
percent over the same period in 1998. The primary  factors  contributing  to the
overall increase were higher levels of Insurance  Premiums & Commissions  offset
by a lower level of Gains on Sale of Loans & Other Real Estate.  The increase in
Insurance  Premiums  and  Commissions  of  $369,000  was  primarily  due to 1999
insurance acquisitions.  Gains on the Sale of Loans and Other Real Estate, which
fluctuates based on market conditions, declined $240,000 from the prior year.

     Year to date  noninterest  income  increased  $859,000 or 18.9 percent over
1998.  Similar to the quarter  ended  September  30, 1999,  the primary  factors
contributing to the overall increase were higher levels of Insurance  Premiums &
Commissions  tempered  by a lower  level of Gain on Sale of Loans and Other Real
Estate.  Insurance Premiums and Commissions increased $906,000 while the Gain on
Sale of Loans and  Other  Real  Estate  declined  $111,000  for the year to date
September 30, 1999.

Noninterest Expense:

     Noninterest expense for the third quarter of 1999 increased $269,000 or 4.6
percent from the prior year.  Most of this  increase is  attributable  to higher
levels of  Salaries & Employee  Benefits  ($250,000),  Furniture  and  Equipment
Expense ($68,000) and Other Operating Expenses ($85,000). These increased levels
of  expenses  were  offset by a decline in  Professional  Fees  ($158,000).  The
Company's  insurance  operations  acquired  in 1999 and not  included  in 1998's
results  accounted  for  $269,000 of the net increase in  noninterest  operating
expenses.

     Year to date noninterest expense increased $1.4 million or 8.5 percent from
the prior year.  The bulk of this  increase  occurred in Salaries  and  Employee
Benefits  ($770,000),  Furniture  and  Equipment  Expense  ($243,000)  and Other
Operating Expenses  ($223,000).  The Company's insurance  operations acquired in
1999 and not included in 1998's results  accounted for $731,000 or 52 percent of
the total increase.

     Salaries  and  Employee  Benefits  increased  $250,000 and $770,000 for the
quarter ended and nine months ended September 30, 1999, respectively.  Excluding
increases due to the Company's  acquired  insurance  operations,  these expenses
increased  approximately  $46,000 and  $215,000  for the quarter  ended and nine
months ended September 30, 1999.


<PAGE>

     Total  occupancy,  furniture and  equipment  expense for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 1999 totaled $878,000 and $2.6 million, respectively.
This was approximately $74,000 and $306,000 greater than the same periods of the
prior year.  These increases  include  depreciation on Citizens State Bank's new
main office in Petersburg,  and for branch remodeling at another affiliate. Also
included  are the costs of  upgrading  the  Company's  computer  systems  at its
existing and new affiliates.  This strategy is expected,  over the long-term, to
better control  employee related expenses and to improve the quality of customer
service provided by all of its affiliate community banks.

     Computer  processing fees decreased  $33,000 for the three months ended and
increased $31,000 year to date, compared to the same periods in 1998.  Increases
were  due in part to Year  2000  preparation,  and  also to  conversion  related
expenses at our newest affiliate, which occurred in a prior quarter. Advertising
expenses  increased  $37,000 for the third quarter and $45,000 year to date over
comparable  periods in the prior year.  Supplies  expenses for the third quarter
increased  $14,000 and  $85,000  for the nine months  ended over the prior year.
This  included  expenses at our newest  affiliate,  and normal  increases due to
volume.

     Year to date Other Operating Expenses increased $223,000 over 1998. $62,000
of this  increase  related to a net loss on sale and  write-downs  in Other Real
Estate  Owned  and other  miscellaneous  assets.  Other  increases  occurred  in
education  and  training  expenses  ($47,000)  and  telecommunication  expenses,
including network charges ($151,000).

Income Taxes:

     The Company's  effective income tax rate approximates 28% of pre-tax income
and is lower than the combined  federal and state statutory rate of 39.6%.  This
lower effective rate results from the Company's tax-exempt  investment income on
municipal securities and loans, and from net operating loss and other income tax
credits generated from investments in affordable housing projects.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

     Total assets at September 30, 1999 were $975 million.  This was an increase
of $78 million from the December 31, 1998 total asset position. In comparison to
year-end  totals,  loans  increased  $78  million  or  13  percent,  investments
increased $9 million or 4 percent,  and cash equivalents  decreased $13 million.
Deposits  at  September  30,  1999  increased  $40  million  or 6  percent,  and
borrowings increased $37 million or 28 percent.

     All of the Company's  affiliate  banks are members of the Federal Home Loan
Bank System ("FHLB").  The banks'  membership in the FHLB provides an additional
source of liquidity  for both  Long-term and  Short-term  borrowing  needs.  The
Company had $149 million in Long-term FHLB  borrowings  outstanding at September
30, 1999 as compared to $124 million at December 31, 1998.

Nonperforming Assets:

     The  following  is an analysis  of the  Company's  nonperforming  assets at
September 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998 (dollars in thousands):

Nonperforming Loans to Total Loans                      1.09%             1.16%


<PAGE>

     The increase in non-performing  loans occurred  primarily in non-conforming
real estate loans.  Most of the increase in Other Real Estate related to a group
of agricultural loans to a single borrower.

Capital Resources:

     Shareholders'  equity  totaled  $91.1  million at September 30, 1999 or 9.3
percent of total assets.  Total equity declined  $137,000 from year end due to a
$3.3 million decline in the Company's $210 million  investment  portfolio.  This
decline in market  value is due to a rise in interest  rates since year end, and
represents less than a 2 percent decline in market value.

     Federal banking  regulations provide guidelines for determining the capital
adequacy of bank holding  companies and banks.  These  guidelines  provide for a
more  narrow  definition  of core  capital  and  assign a measure of risk to the
various categories of assets. The Company is required to maintain minimum levels
of capital in proportion to total  risk-weighted  assets and  off-balance  sheet
exposures such as loan commitments and standby letters of credit.

     Tier 1, or core capital,  consists of  shareholders'  equity less goodwill,
core  deposit  intangibles,  and  certain  deferred  tax assets  defined by bank
regulations.  Tier 2 capital is defined as the amount of the  allowance for loan
losses which does not exceed 1.25 percent of gross risk adjusted  assets.  Total
capital is the sum of Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital.

     The minimum requirements under these standards are generally at least a 4.0
percent  leverage  ratio,  which is Tier 1 capital  divided  by  defined  "total
assets"; 4.0 percent Tier 1 capital to risk-adjusted assets; and, an 8.0 percent
total  capital to  risk-adjusted  assets  ratios.  Under these  guidelines,  the
Company,  on a consolidated basis, and each of its affiliate banks individually,
have capital ratios that substantially exceed the regulatory minimums.

     The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation  Improvement Act of 1991 (FDICIA)
requires federal  regulatory  agencies to define capital tiers.  These are: well
capitalized,    adequately   capitalized,    under-capitalized,    significantly
under-capitalized, and critically under-capitalized.  Under these regulations, a
"well-capitalized"  entity must achieve a Tier 1 Risk-based  capital ratio of at
least 6.0  percent;  a total  capital  ratio of at least  10.0  percent;  and, a
leverage  ratio of at least 5.0  percent,  and not be under a capital  directive
order.

     At September 30, 1999 management is not under such a capital directive, nor
is it aware of any current  recommendations  by banking  regulatory  authorities
which,  if they were to be implemented,  would have or are reasonably  likely to
have,  a  material  effect on the  Company's  liquidity,  capital  resources  or
operations.

     The table below  presents the  Company's  consolidated  risk-based  capital
structure and capital ratios under regulatory guidelines (dollars in thousands):

     The  Company has  commenced  a stock  repurchase  program as  discussed  in
greater detail in Note 7 to the financial  statements included in Part I of this
report.


Liquidity:

    The  Consolidated  Statement of Cash Flows details the elements of change in
the Company's cash and cash  equivalents.  During the first nine months of 1999,
operating  activities  provided $10.4 million of available cash,  which included
net income of $6.8 million.  Deposits and  borrowings  provided $87.6 million of
cash during the period.  Major cash outflows  experienced  during the nine month
period of 1999 included $3.3 million in dividends,  $3.0 million in property and
equipment purchases and net loan outlays in the amount of $71.0 million.

    Purchases of securities and short-term investments required $34.0 million in
cash above the dollar  amount of maturities  and sales.  Total cash outflows for
the period exceeded inflows by $12.9 million,  leaving cash and cash equivalents
of $36.7 million at September 30, 1999.

Year 2000:

    All banks and financial institutions are faced with addressing a potentially
materially  adverse event should their  computer and  operating  systems fail to
accurately process their customers' deposit, loan and other business in the Year
2000. The Company, like any financial institution,  would suffer an interruption
in its ability to  transact  business  should its systems  fail due to Year 2000
programming inaccuracy.

    During the third quarter, the Company  satisfactorily  completed testing and
implementation  procedures on all mission critical systems to address  potential
Year 2000 issues.  The Company's  Year 2000 process is subject to banking agency
regulatory  guidelines and  examination.  The Company  believes  itself to be in
compliance with all significant regulatory requirements.

    The  Company's  service  provider  for all of its loan and  deposit  account
processing  activity  is Fiserv,  a publicly  listed  company  headquartered  in
Milwaukee,  Wisconsin.  The  Company  designated  Fiserv's  systems  as  mission
critical  for the Year 2000  issue,  as that term is defined by bank  regulatory
requirements. Fiserv is a national service provider for over 3,300 institutions.
While  the  Company  has  extensively  tested  Fiserv's  systems  for Year  2000
capabilities,  it can  obviously  give no  absolute  assurance  as to the actual
performance  of  Fiserv's  systems  in the  Year  2000.  However,  based on this
testing,  the  Company is unaware of any issues  that would  cause any  material
interruption in its ability to transact business. The Company has also completed
its assessment of the Year 2000  implications of systems other than its "mission
critical" data processing information systems (such as elevators, HVAC, copiers,
and the like).


<PAGE>

    The Company  expended  approximately  $500,000 on Year 2000  related  items,
including  approximately $200,000 in cash outlays in 1999. These outlays exclude
the cost of implementing  the Company's  state-of-the-art  platform and computer
systems  upgrade,  but include the Company's  share of third party systems costs
and all other  costs to address  the Year 2000 issue.  For  financial  statement
purposes,  the depreciation and operating expenses associated with these outlays
will impact the income statement over a period of one to seven years.

    The Year 2000 issue could also affect the ability of the Company's customers
to conduct  operations  in a timely and  effective  manner,  and as such,  could
adversely impact the quality of the Company's loan portfolio,  its deposits,  or
other sources of revenue and funding from  customers.  The Company has completed
an assessment of its commercial  customers'  potential exposure to the Year 2000
issue and their plans to minimize any such exposure.  While that  assessment can
offer no  assurances  on this  matter,  the  Company is unaware of any  specific
significant customer Year 2000 issues that are not expected to be resolved prior
to the end of the year.

    The above summary of the Company's Year 2000  preparations  includes forward
looking  statements,  concerning  the  Company's  present  expectation  that its
operations  will not be  materially  adversely  affected  by Year  2000  issues.
However, the Year 2000 issue is pervasive,  complex and could potentially affect
any computer process, including any equipment utilizing embedded technology like
microprocessors.  Although the Company believes it is taking all necessary steps
to address Year 2000 issues,  no assurances can be given that some problems will
not occur or that the Company will not incur significant  additional expenses in
future  periods,  any of which  could  have a  material  adverse  impact  on the
Company's results of operations.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

    The Company's  exposure to market risk is reviewed on a regular basis by the
Asset/Liability  Committees  and Boards of Directors of the holding  company and
its affiliate banks.  Primary market risks which impact the Company's operations
are liquidity risk and interest rate risk.

    The  liquidity  of the  parent  company  is  dependent  upon the  receipt of
dividends from its bank  subsidiaries,  which are subject to certain  regulatory
limitations.  The  affiliate  banks'  source of  funding is  predominately  core
deposits,  maturities of securities,  repayments of loan principal and interest,
federal funds  purchased,  securities  sold under  agreements to repurchase  and
long-term borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank.

    The Company  monitors  interest rate risk by the use of computer  simulation
modeling to estimate  the  potential  impact on its net  interest  income  under
various  interest rate  scenarios,  and by estimating  its static  interest rate
sensitivity  position.  Another method by which the Company's interest rate risk
position can be estimated is by computing estimated changes in its net portfolio
value ("NPV").  This method  estimates  interest rate risk exposure from adverse
movements  in interest  rates by using  interest  rate  sensitivity  analysis to
determine  the change in the NPV of the net  present  value of  discounted  cash
flows from assets and liabilities.

    NPV  represents  the market  value of  portfolio  equity and is equal to the
estimated   market  value  of  assets  minus  the  estimated   market  value  of
liabilities.  Computations  are based on a number of assumptions,  including the
relative  levels of market  interest rates and prepayments in mortgage loans and
certain types of investments.  These computations do not contemplate any actions
management  may undertake in response to changes in interest  rates,  and should
not be  relied  upon as  indicative  of actual  results.  In  addition,  certain
shortcomings  are inherent in the method of computing NPV. Should interest rates
remain or decrease below current levels, the proportion of adjustable rate loans
could decrease in future periods due to refinancing activity. In the event of an
interest  rate change,  prepayment  levels would likely be different  from those
assumed in the table.  Lastly,  the  ability of many  borrowers  to repay  their
adjustable rate debt may decline during a rising interest rate environment.


<PAGE>

    The table below  provides an  assessment  of the risk to NPV in the event of
sudden and sustained 1% and 2% increases  and  decreases in prevailing  interest
rates.  These estimates were restated from those presented in the Company's 1998
Annual  Report for the effect of the January 1999  acquisition,  on a pooling of
interests  basis,  of 1ST  BANCORP.  The Company  does not believe that its risk
profile as of  September  30,  1999  differed  materially  from  these  year-end
estimates.  The table  indicates  that as of  December  31,  1998 the  Company's
estimated  NPV might be  expected  to  decrease  in the event of an  increase in
prevailing  interest  rates,  and that a decrease in prevailing  interest  rates
might have little or no impact on estimated NPV.
