Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
1. Basis of Presentation
---------------------
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
MetroBanCorp and its wholly-owned affiliate, MetroBank (together,
"Metro"). All significant intercompany transactions and balances have
been eliminated.
In the opinion of management of Metro, the consolidated financial
statements contain all the normal and recurring adjustments necessary to
present fairly the consolidated financial condition of Metro as of June
30, 2000 and December 31, 1999, and the results of its operations and
cash flows for the periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999.
These financial statements should be read in conjunction with Metro's
latest Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ending December 31,
1999.
2. Comprehensive Income
--------------------
Comprehensive Income is defined as the change in equity of a business
enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and
circumstances from non-owner sources. It includes all changes in equity
during a period, except those resulting from investment by owners and
distributions to owners. In Metro's case, comprehensive income includes
net income and unrealized gains and losses on available for sale
securities.
3. Per Share Data
--------------
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period.
Diluted earnings per share is computed as above, except that the
denominator is increased to include the number of additional common
shares that would have been outstanding if the dilutive potential common
shares (stock options) had been issued. Below is a table reconciling
basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share:

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
---------------------------------------
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
---------------------------------------------
The following management discussion is presented to provide information
concerning the consolidated financial condition of Metro as of June 30, 2000 as
compared to December 31, 1999, and the results of operations for the three and
six month periods ending June 30, 2000 and 1999.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
At June 30, 2000, Metro had total assets of $151.6 million, an increase of $10.3
million or 7.3 percent from December 31, 1999. Consolidated earning assets
totaled $133.5 million, or 88.1 percent of total assets, at June 30, 2000. The
principal components of earning assets were loans in the amount of $97.5 million
or 73.0 percent of total earning assets, and securities of $36.0 million or 27.0
percent of total earning assets. Earning assets at December 31, 1999 were $128.6
million, or 91.0 percent of total assets.
LOANS
-----
Gross loans outstanding increased $9.8 million or 11.1 percent from December 31,
1999 to June 30, 2000. Metro continued to make a concerted effort to increase
its commercial and installment loan portfolio through the use of an extensive
loan officer calling program aimed at Metro's target market. At June 30, 2000,
net loans amounted to 63.6 percent of total assets, compared to 61.3 percent of
total assets at year end 1999. Metro's loan to deposit ratio, which is one
measure of liquidity, was 77.1 percent at June 30, 2000, compared to 74.5
percent at year end 1999.

</TABLE>
Delinquent loans at June 30, 2000 were $1.2 million, representing 1.2 percent of
gross loans outstanding, compared to $935,000 of delinquent loans, or 1.1
percent, at year end 1999. Delinquent loans in both periods consisted primarily
of student loans guaranteed by a third party. Non-accruing loans at June 30,
2000 amounted to $362,000, compared to $443,000 at December 31, 1999. There were
$6,000 of loans charged-off and $5,000 of recoveries received for the three
month period ending June 30, 2000.
At June 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999, Metro had an allowance for loan losses
of $1,428,000 and $1,464,000, respectively, representing 1.5 percent and 1.7
percent of gross loans at June 30, 2000 and
Page 9 of 17
<PAGE>
December 31, 1999, respectively. Metro provides for possible loan losses through
regular provisions to the allowance for loan losses. These provisions are made
at a level which is considered necessary by Metro's management to absorb
estimated losses in the loan portfolio and is based upon an assessment of
adequacy of Metro's loan loss reserve account.

SECURITIES
----------
Total securities at June 30, 2000 were $36.0 million, decreasing by $4.9 million
or 12.1 percent from the amount at December 31, 1999. This decrease was due
primarily to three securities sold, as well as principal paydowns and maturities
within the available-for-sale category.
DEPOSITS
--------
Total deposits at June 30, 2000 amounted to $126.8 million, compared to $118.1
million at December 31, 1999, representing an increase of $8.7 million. Since
December 31, 1999, non-interest bearing demand deposits increased by $9.4
million or 38.9 percent, while interest bearing deposits decreased by $776,000
or 0.8 percent.
OTHER LIABILITIES
-----------------
Liabilities other than deposits increased to $11.3 million from $9.8 million at
December 31, 1999. Other borrowed money at June 30, 2000 in the amount of $5.0
million represented borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank. Membership in
the Federal Home Loan Bank provides Metro with an ongoing source
Page 10 of 17
<PAGE>
of funds to assist in liquidity management and funding loans. Total liabilities
increased by $10.1 million or 7.9 percent to $138.1 million since December 31,
1999.
CAPITAL
-------
For the six months ending June 30, 2000, Metro's total capital increased by a
net amount of $191,000. Total increases in capital in 2000 amounted to $875,000.
Year to date earnings amounted to $691,000. The exercise of 32,634 stock options
by directors of Metro and MetroBank added $180,000 to capital. Capital increased
by $4,000 as a result of grants of Metro common stock to employees of MetroBank
under the MetroBanCorp Employee Equity Ownership Plan. Total decreases in
capital amounted to $684,000, which resulted from the repurchase of 68,300
shares of Metro common stock for $392,000, two cash dividends to Metro
shareholders in the total amount of $254,000, and an increase in the accumulated
other comprehensive loss in the amount of $38,000.
Metro is subject to various capital requirements imposed by the federal banking
regulatory authorities. Quantitative measures established by regulation to
ensure capital adequacy require Metro to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of
total and Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted
assets, and Tier 1 capital to average assets. Management believes, as of June
30, 2000, that Metro meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is
subject. The following table sets forth the actual and minimum capital amount
and ratios of Metro and MetroBank as of June 30, 2000 (dollars in thousands):

</TABLE>
As of December 31, 1999, the most recent notification from the FDIC categorized
MetroBank as "well capitalized" under the regulatory framework for prompt
corrective action. To be categorized as "well capitalized", MetroBank must
maintain minimum total risk-weighted, Tier 1 capital and leverage ratios as set
forth in the table. There are no conditions or events since this notification
that management believes have changed MetroBank's capital category.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
NET INTEREST INCOME
-------------------
Net interest income after provision for loan losses was $3.3 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2000, compared to $2.9 million for the comparable period
of 1999, an increase of 13.8 percent. Metro's provision for loan loss expense
was $42,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2000, compared to $116,000 for the
same period in 1999. The loan loss provision made in 2000 was at a level
considered necessary by Metro management to absorb estimated losses in the loan
portfolio and is based upon an assessment of the adequacy of Metro's loan loss
reserve account.
NON-INTEREST EXPENSE
--------------------
Non-interest expense amounted to $2.7 million for the six month period ending
June 30, 2000, compared to $2.3 million for the same period one year earlier, an
increase of 17.4 percent compared to the same six month period in 1999. More
than one-half of this increase resulted from an 18.5 percent increase in
salaries and employee benefits driven by annual merit increases and additional
staff hired to support Metro's growth.
NET INCOME
----------
Metro recognized net income of $691,000 for the six month period ending June 30,
2000, compared to $673,000 for the same period one year earlier, an increase of
2.7 percent. Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2000 was $371,000,
up 3.1 percent over 1999's same period net income of $360,000. Results for the
quarter reflect the same trends as do year to date results.
