                   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
         September 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999, and the results of its
         operations and cash flows for the periods ended September 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 change in 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 the same, 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:

4.       New Accounting Pronouncements
         -----------------------------

         Beginning January 1, 2001 a new accounting standard will require all
         derivatives to be recorded at fair value. Unless designated as hedges,
         changes in these fair values will be recorded in the income statement.
         Fair value changes involving hedges will generally be recorded by
         offsetting gains and losses on the hedge and on the hedged item, even
         if the fair value of the hedged item is not otherwise recorded.
         Adoption of this pronouncement will not have a material effect on the
         Corporation's financial results, but the effect will depend on
         derivative holdings when this standard is adopted.

At September 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999, Metro had an allowance for loan
losses of $1,438,000 and $1,464,000, respectively, representing 1.4 percent and

1999. 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 September 30, 2000 were $35.1 million, decreasing by $5.8
million or 14.2 percent from the amount at December 31, 1999. This decrease was
due primarily to securities sold, principal paydowns and maturities. Proceeds
from these activities were used to fund loan growth.

DEPOSITS
--------

Total deposits at September 30, 2000 amounted to $135.2 million, compared to
$118.1 million at December 31, 1999, representing an increase for this period of
$17.0 million. Since December 31, 1999, non-interest bearing demand deposits
increased by $10.3 million or 42.6 percent, while interest bearing deposits
increased by $6.7 million or 7.1 percent.

OTHER LIABILITIES
-----------------

Liabilities other than deposits increased to $13.4 million from $9.8 million at
December 31, 1999. Other borrowed money at September 30, 2000 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 of funds to assist
in liquidity management and funding loans.

CAPITAL
-------

For the nine months ending September 30, 2000, Metro's total capital increased
by a net amount of $210,000. Total increases in capital in 2000 amounted to
$1,400,000. Year to date earnings amounted to $1,089,000. The exercise of 18,806
stock options by directors of Metro and MetroBank added $104,000 to capital. The
purchase of 13,828 shares by directors of Metro and MetroBank added $76,000.
Capital increased by $8,000 as a result of exercise of grants of Metro common
stock to employees of MetroBank under the MetroBanCorp Employee Equity Ownership
Plan. The accumulated other comprehensive loss decreased by $123,000 during the
first nine months in 2000. The total decrease in capital amounted to $1,189,000,
which resulted from the repurchase of 134,149 shares of Metro common stock for
$808,000, and three quarterly cash dividends to Metro shareholders in the total
amount of $382,000.

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
September 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 September 30, 2000 (dollars in
thousands):

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

NET INTEREST INCOME
-------------------

Net interest income after provision for loan losses was $4.9 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 2000, compared to $4.4 million for the
comparable period of 1999, an increase of 11.2 percent. The increase in net
interest income was driven primarily by an increase in loan volume. Metro's
provision for loan loss expense was $62,000 for the nine months ended September
30, 2000, compared to $174,000 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 $4.1 million for the nine month period ending
September 30, 2000, compared to $3.5 million for the same period one year
earlier, an increase of 17.2 percent compared to the same nine month period in
1999. Approximately forty-three percent of this increase resulted from a 15.8
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 $1,089,000 for the nine month period ending
September 30, 2000, compared to $1,062,000 for the same period one year earlier,
an increase of 2.5 percent. Net income for the three months ended September 30,
2000 was $398,000, up 2.3 percent over 1999's same period net income of
$389,000. Results for the quarter reflect the same trends as do year to date
results.
