NOTE C - IMPAIRED LOANS AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

         Impaired loans are loans for which it is probable that the creditor
will not collect all principal and interest payments according to the loan's
contractual terms.  The impairment of a loan is measured at the present value
of expected future cash flows using the loan's effective interest rate, or as a
practical expedient, at the loan's observable market price or the fair value of
the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.  Interest income on
impaired loans is recognized on a cash basis.  Restructured loans are loans on
which the borrower has been granted a concession as to rate or term as a result
of financial difficulty.

         Information with respect to impaired loans is as follows:

         The recorded investment in loans that were restructured prior to the
adoption of SFAS No. 114 and which were performing according to the new terms
was $1,122,000 at March 31, 1997 and $1,088,000 at December 31, 1996.  The
Company has no obligation to make further extensions of credit under loans
classified as troubled debt restructurings.

         The provision for loan losses is determined by analyzing the status of
individual loans, reviewing historical loss experience and reviewing the
delinquency of principal and interest payments where pertinent.  Management
believes that uncollectible amounts have been charged off and that the
allowance is adequate to cover losses inherent in the portfolio at March 31,
1997.  Increases and decreases in the allowance include changes in the
measurement of impaired loans.

NOTE E - REGULATORY MATTERS

         The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements
administered by the Federal banking agencies.  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.

         Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital
adequacy require the Bank to maintain amounts and ratios (set forth in the
table below) of total and Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to
risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier 1 capital (as defined) to
average assets (as defined).  Management believes, as of March 31, 1997, that
the Bank meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.

         As of March 31, 1997, the most recent notification from the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation 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, Tier 1
risk-based, and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the table.  There are no
conditions or events since that notification that management believes have
changed the Bank's category.

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

NOTE F - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

         Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, Disclosures about
Fair Value of Financial Instruments ("SFAS No.  107"), requires disclosure of
fair value information about financial instruments for which it is practicable
to estimate that value.  In cases where quoted market prices are not available,
fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation
techniques.  Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions
used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows.  In that
regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison
to independent markets and, in many cases, could not be realized in immediate
settlement of the instrument.  SFAS No. 107 excludes certain financial
instruments and all nonfiancial instruments from its disclosure requirements.
Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented do not represent the
underlying value of the Company.

         The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in
estimating the fair value for its financial instruments as defined by SFAS No.
107.

CASH AND DUE FROM BANKS:  The carrying amount approximates fair value.

INTEREST-BEARING DEPOSITS WITH BANKS AND FEDERAL FUNDS SOLD:  The carrying
amount approximates fair value.

INVESTMENT SECURITIES AVAILABLE FOR SALE:  Fair values are based on published
market prices or dealer quotes.

LOANS:  For loans with short-term or variable characteristics, such as home
equity or personal lines of credit and variable-rate commercial and real estate
loans, the carrying value approximates fair value.  This amount excludes any
value related to account relationships.  The fair value of other types of loans
is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the comparable
risk-free rate, adjusted for credit risk and operating expenses.

INTEREST RECEIVABLE AND INTEREST PAYABLE:  The carrying amount approximates
fair value.

NONINTEREST-BEARING DEPOSITS:  The fair value of these instruments, by the SFAS
No. 107 definition, is the amount payable at the reporting date.

INTEREST-BEARING DEPOSITS:  The fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts
and money market deposits with no defined maturity, by SFAS No. 107 definition,
is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date.  The fair value of
certificates of deposit is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using
the current rates at which similar deposits would be made.

         At March 31, 1997, the Company had outstanding letters of credit and
commitments to extend credit of $742,000 and $10,697,000, respectively.  The
fair value of these off-balance-sheet financial instruments, based on fees that
would be charged to enter similar arrangements, is immaterial.

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         The following commentary provides an overview of the financial
condition and significant changes in the results of the operations of Suburban
Bancshares, Inc. and its subsidiary ("Bancshares" or "the Company") for the
three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996.  Throughout this review the
subsidiary of Suburban Bancshares, Inc., Suburban Bank of Maryland, is referred
to as "Suburban Maryland" or "the Bank".  This discussion should assist readers
in their analysis of the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

OVERVIEW

         Suburban Bancshares, Inc. reported earnings before taxes of $302,000
for the three months ending March 31, 1997, an increase of $14,000, or 5.2%,
over $288,000 reported for the first quarter of 1996.  Improvement in earnings
is attributed to strong loan growth and a rising net interest margin.  In 1997,
the Company has begun to record tax expense after the recognition of the income
tax benefits of loss carryforwards and temporary differences at the end of
1996.  Net income in 1997, after taxes of $106,000, was $196,000, or $0.02 per
share.

         Total assets climbed to $146.9 million at March 31, 1997, a $31.3
million, or 27.1%, increase from $115.6 million at March 31, 1996.  Asset
growth since December 31, 1996 is $20.8 million, or 16.5%.  Loans have
increased $13.6 million, or 19.6%, since March 31, 1996 and $3.6 million, or
4.6%, since year-end 1996, reaching $83.0 million at the end of the first
quarter of 1997.  Deposits, at $128.4 million, rose 25.9% since March 31, 1996
and 19.3% since December 31, 1996.

         Average assets were $129.1 million for the first three months of 1997,
$22.9 million, or 21.6%, above average assets of $106.2 million for the same
period of 1996.  Average earning assets rose 19.5% and average deposits rose
19.2%.

NET INTEREST INCOME AND NET INTEREST MARGIN

         Net interest income, the largest contributor to the Company's
earnings, is defined as the difference between income on assets and the cost of
funds supporting those assets.  Earning assets are composed primarily of loans
and investments while deposits and short-term borrowings, in the form of
securities sold under repurchase agreements, represent interest-bearing
liabilities.  Noninterest-bearing checking deposits are another component of
funding sources.  Variations in the volume and mix of these assets and
liabilities, as well as changes in the yields earned and rates paid, are
determinants of changes in net interest income.





                                       10
<PAGE>   11
         Net interest income rose $266,000, or 20.6%, from $1,290,000 for the
first quarter of 1996 to $1,556,000 in 1997, the net result of  higher loan
volume and changes in the composition of funding sources.

         The net interest margin represents the Company's net yield on its
earning assets and is calculated as net interest income divided by average
earning assets.  In the first three months of 1997, the net interest margin was
5.42%, rising 9 basis points from 5.33% in the same period of 1996, the result
of a slight increase in the yield on earning assets and a small decrease in
funding costs.

         Changes in the volume of earning assets and interest bearing funds
impact both interest income and interest expense and volume changes were key
determinants of the increase in net interest income in the first quarter of
1997.  Both total average earning assets and total average interest bearing
funds rose in the first quarter of 1997 as compared to 1996.  Average earning
assets rose $19.0 million, or 19.5%, from $97.4 million in 1996 to $116.4
million in 1997, and average interest bearing funds increased $13 million, or
17.1%, from $75.6 million to $88.6 million for the same periods.  As a
percentage of average assets, earning assets declined from 91.8% in the first
quarter of 1996 to 90.2% in 1997, the result of the addition of the deferred
tax asset of $ 4.0 million, or 3.1% of average assets.  Average interest
bearing funding sources fell from 81.7% of total funding sources in the first
quarter of 1996 to 80.3% in the same period in 1997, resulting in a slightly
lower cost of funds.  As the growth in earnings assets exceeded the growth of
interest-bearing funds, the margin improved.

         Changes in the mix of both earning assets and funding sources also
impacted net interest income in the first quarter of both 1997 and 1996;
however, the changes in the mix of earning assets were less significant than
the change in composition of funding sources.  Average loans as a percentage of
average earning assets declined slightly from 69.6% in 1996 to 68.8% in 1997;
average investments also fell slightly from 19.2% to 18.5%.  Short-term
investments, Federal funds sold, rose from 11.2% of earning assets to 12.8%.
The impact of the shift, though small, was a decrease in the yield on earning
assets as funds were placed in lower yielding investments.  Changes in the mix
of interest-bearing funds were more pronounced as funds shifted from higher
cost deposits into noninterest-bearing funding sources and lower cost savings
accounts.  Time deposits fell $1.9 million, from 25.9% of funding sources to
19.7% in 1997, and noninterest-bearing deposits rose from 18.3% to 19.7%; both
of these changes in deposit composition resulted in a decrease in the cost of
funds, which was partially offset by an increase in the cost of savings
accounts.  Savings accounts were 18.1% of total funding sources in 1997, a
significant increase from 5.7% in 1996.

         Shifts in the interest rate environment and competitive factors
affected the rates paid for funds as well as the yields earned on assets.  Loan
yields rose 8 basis points, from 9.84% in the first three months of 1996 to
9.92% in 1997, primarily the result of a decrease in problem loans on
nonaccrual status.  Investments and Federal funds yields remained fairly stable
as the market rates were approximately the same on average in both 1996 and
1997.  In early 1996, as market rates began to decline, the decrease in the
cost of funds moved more slowly and when other market rates leveled off,
deposit costs continued a slow decline.  Competition for funds, however,
increased in late 1996 and early 1997, and the Company offered a special rate
on savings accounts, which are typically a stable source of funds.  This
special rate brought in new funds and also resulted in some disintermediation
within the deposit base.  Savings accounts rose from an average of $5.3 million
in the first quarter of 1996 to $19.9 million in the same period of 1997.  As
other deposit rates declined, the cost of savings rose 98 basis points.  The
total cost of funds, even with this increase in savings accounts, declined 4
basis points, from 3.48% in 1996 to 3.44% in 1997.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

         The provision for loan losses is the effect of maintaining an
allowance, or reserve, for anticipated future losses on loans.  The allowance
for loan losses reflects management's judgment as to the level considered
appropriate to absorb such losses based upon a review of many factors,
including historical loss experience, adverse situations that may affect the
borrower's ability to repay (including the timing of future payments), economic
conditions  and trends, loan portfolio volume and mix, loan performance trends,
the value and adequacy of collateral, and the Company's internal credit review
process.  Based on this ongoing evaluation, management determines the provision
or reversal necessary to maintain an appropriate allowance.

         In the first three months of 1997, the provision for loan losses was
$35,000.  Loans charged-off totaled $31,000 and recoveries were $12,000.  In
the same period of 1996, there was no provision set aside, as recoveries of
$41,000 offset loans charged off of $32,000.

NONINTEREST INCOME

         Noninterest income rose $35,000, or 25.7%, in the first quarter of
1997 to $171,000 from $136,000 in the same period of 1996.  Deposit account
service charges increased as deposits rose, and fees for other services
provided to customers rose as the customer base increased.

NONINTEREST EXPENSES

         Noninterest expenses increased $252,000, or 22.1%, in the first three
months of 1997 as compared to the same period of 1996, to $1,390,000 from
$1,138,000.  Salaries and benefits increased over last year's first quarter,
the result of merit increases and staffing for a new branch.  The new branch in
Bethesda and new services offered have pushed other expenses higher, as well.

ASSET QUALITY

         In 1995, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan
("SFAS No. 114"), as amended by SFAS No. 118.  SFAS No. 114 and No. 118 apply
to loans for which it is probable that the creditor will not collect all
principal and interest payments according to the loan's contractual terms.  The
impairment of a loan is measured at the present value of expected future cash
flows using the loan's effective interest rate, or as a practical expedient, at
the loan's observable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the
loan is collateral dependent.  Interest income on impaired loans is recognized
on a cash basis.  Restructured loans are loans on which the borrower has been
granted a concession as to rate or term as a result of financial difficulty.
Nonaccrual loans are those loans on which the accrual of interest is
discontinued when full collection of principal or interest is in doubt, or when
the payment of principal or interest has become contractually 90 days past due,
unless the obligation is both well secured and is in the process of collection.
Loans may be placed on nonaccrual status when past due less than 90 days if
collection becomes uncertain based upon an evaluation of the fair value of the
collateral and the financial strength of the borrower.  When a loan is placed
on nonaccrual status, interest income in the current period is reduced by the
amount of any accrued and uncollected interest.  Subsequent payments of
interest are applied as a reduction of principal when concern exists as to the
ultimate collection of principal; otherwise such payments are recognized as
interest income.  Loans are removed from nonaccrual status when they have
demonstrated a period of performance and when concern no longer exists as to
the collectibility of principal or interest.

         The recorded investment in loans that were considered impaired under
SFAS No. 114 was $1,146,000 and $771,000 at March 31,1997 and December 31,
1996, respectively.  The increase in impaired loans in the first quarter of
1997 is primarily the impact of two large loans shifting to impaired status.
The recorded investment in loans that were restructured prior to the adoption
of SFAS No. 114 and which were performing according to the new terms was
$1,122,000 at March 31, 1997 and $1,088,000 at December 31, 1996.

         Real estate acquired through foreclosure or deed in lieu of
foreclosure is carried at fair value less estimated selling costs, based upon
current market conditions and expected cash flows.  Foreclosed real estate was
$212,000 at March 31, 1997, unchanged from December 31, 1996.





                                       13
<PAGE>   14
         The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level believed
adequate by management to absorb estimated probable credit losses.
Management's periodic evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance is based on
the Company's past loan loss experience, known and inherent risks in the
portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower's ability to repay
(including the timing of future payments), the estimated value of any
underlying collateral, composition of the loan portfolio, current economic
conditions and other relevant factors.  This evaluation is inherently
subjective as it requires material estimates including the amounts and timing
of future cash flows expected to be received on impaired loans that may be
susceptible to significant change.

         The allowance for loan losses is established through provisions for
loan losses charged against income.  Loans deemed to be uncollectible are
charged against the allowance for loan losses, and subsequent recoveries, if
any, are credited to the allowance.  Under the new SFAS No. 114, the allowance
for loan losses related to loans that are identified as impaired was based on
discounted cash flows using the loans' initial effective interest rate or the
fair value of the collateral for certain collateral dependent loans.

         The allowance for loan losses was $1,524,000 at March 31,1997, a
slight increase from $1,508,000 at December 31, 1996.  Activity in the
allowance for loan losses during the first quarter of 1997 included recoveries
of $12,000, charge-offs of $31,000, and a provision for future losses of
$35,000.

LIQUIDITY MANAGEMENT

         Liquidity is the ability to generate and maintain sufficient cash
flows to fund operations and to meet financial obligations to depositors and
borrowers promptly and in a cost-effective manner.  Asset liquidity is provided
primarily by maturing loans and investments and by cash received from
operations.  Other sources of asset liquidity include readily marketable assets
that can serve as collateral for borrowings, and sales of loans and other real
estate.  On the liability side of the balance sheet, liquidity is affected by
the timing of maturing liabilities and the ability to generate new deposits or
borrowings as needed.

         In the first quarter of 1997, the Company's liquidity position has
increased as loans, as a percent of earning assets, declined and marketable
securities increased.  As a percentage of total earning assets, loans,
excluding loans held for sale, fell to 58.6% at March 31, 1997 from 65.1% at
December 31, 1996, while marketable securities, overnight investments and loans
held for sale rose to 41.4% from 34.9%, respectively.  This shift in the mix of
earning assets to a higher percentage of readily marketable assets has
increased the Company's overall liquidity.

         A typically stable source of liquidity is the core deposit base.  Core
deposits are normally noninterest checking accounts, interest checking and
money market accounts, and savings accounts.  The stability of these core
deposits is reflected in the ratio of these deposits to total funding sources,
which averaged 80.3% in the first quarter of 1997 and 74.4% in 1996.  Time
deposits under $100,000, which are also considered to be stable funding
sources, declined from 21.3% of funding sources in the first three months of
1996 to 17.7% in 1997; the volume in these accounts, however, remained stable
at $19.7 million in 1996 and $19.5 million in 1997.  Additional funding is
generated from short-term borrowings (securities sold under repurchase
agreements) and large CDS.  These funds, which are considered to be volatile or
rate sensitive, even though they are provided by local customers, have declined
as a percentage of average total funding sources from 4.3% in the first quarter
of 1996 to 2.0% in 1997.

         Other sources of liquidity and cash flow in the first three months of
1997 and 1996, were from maturing securities which generated cash inflow of
$1.8 million and $1.0 million, respectively.

         As an additional source of short-term liquidity, the Bank maintains
$16 million of reverse repurchase lines of credit with correspondent banks.
These correspondents meet regulatory capital requirements for well capitalized
financial institutions, thereby minimizing the risk that might be associated
with this level of interbank exposure.  The Bank has not needed to utilize
these backup lines as internally generated liquidity has provided ample
resources.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND ADEQUACY

         Shareholders' equity increased $77,000, or 0.4%, in the first three
months of 1997 to $17,908,000 at March 31, 1997 from $17,831,000 at December
31, 1996.  Earnings of $196,000 were partially offset by a decrease of $119,000
in the net unrealized gain on securities available for sale.

<PAGE>   15
         A combination of a leverage capital ratio and risk-based capital
ratios is used to categorize banks as well capitalized, adequately capitalized,
or under capitalized financial institutions under the guidelines established by
FDICIA.  A financial institution is considered "well capitalized" if it has a
total risk-based capital ratio of at least 10%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital
ratio of at least 6%, and a leverage ratio of 5% or greater and it is not
subject to a written agreement, order or directive.  At December 31, 1996 and
March 31, 1997, Suburban Maryland was considered to be a well capitalized
financial institution.

         One measure of capital adequacy is the risk-based capital ratio or the
ratio of total capital to risk-adjusted assets.  Total capital is composed of
both core capital (Tier 1) and supplemental capital (Tier 2).  The Bank's Tier
1 capital consists of common equity, excluding unrealized gains or losses on
available for sale securities, and a disallowed portion of the deferred tax
asset, and Tier 2, of a qualifying portion of the allowance for loan losses.
Assets, both on- and off-balance sheet items, are weighted according to the
underlying risk associated with the item and are assigned a risk weighting from
0 to 100%.  Banks are expected to meet a minimum ratio of total qualifying
capital to risk-weighted assets of 8%, with at least half of that percentage
(4%) in the form of core capital.  This minimum capital requirement applies to
the Bank and will apply to the Company at such time as its total assets reach
$150 million.  At March 31, 1997, Suburban Maryland reported at Tier 1
risk-based capital ratio of 13.20% and a ratio of 14.45% based on total
capital.  Both ratios were well above the general regulatory minimums of 4% and
8%, respectively.

         Another capital adequacy measure is the leverage capital ratio, which
is calculated by dividing average total assets for the most recent quarter into
core (Tier 1) capital.  The regulatory minimum of this ratio is 3%, with most
banks required to maintain a ratio of at least 4% to 5%, depending upon risk
profiles and other factors.  At March 31, 1997, the leverage capital ratio for
Suburban Maryland was 9.33%.
