                         COLUMBIA BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                   (Information as of and for the nine months
                 ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 is unaudited)


NOTE 1  -  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The accompanying consolidated financial statements for Columbia Bancorp
(the "Company") have been prepared in accordance with the  instructions for Form
10-QSB and, therefore,  do not include all information and notes necessary for a
fair presentation of financial  condition,  results of operations and cash flows
in conformity with generally accepted  accounting  principles.  The consolidated
financial  statements  should be read in conjunction with the audited  financial
statements included in the Company's 1995 Annual Report on Form 10-KSB.

         The  consolidated  financial  statements  include  the  accounts of the
Company's subsidiary, The Columbia Bank and its wholly-owned subsidiary McAlpine
Enterprises,  Inc.  (collectively,  the "Bank").  All  significant  intercompany
balances and transactions have been eliminated.

         The consolidated  financial statements as of September 30, 1996 and for
the nine months ended  September 30, 1996 and 1995 are unaudited but include all
adjustments  (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which the Company
considers necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and results of
operations  for those  periods.  The  Consolidated  Statements of Income for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of
the results that will be achieved for the entire year.

NOTE 2  -  PER SHARE DATA

         Net income per common share is based upon the weighted  average  number
of common shares  outstanding  during the periods,  adjusted by any  outstanding
stock options,  warrants,  and other  instruments  determined to be common stock
equivalents.


NOTE 3  -  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

         The Company is party to financial  instruments  with  off-balance-sheet
risk in the normal  course of business in order to meet the  financing  needs of
customers.  These financial  instruments  include  commitments to extend credit,
standby letters of credit and mortgage loans sold with limited recourse.

         The Company applies the same credit policies in making  commitments and
conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet  instruments.  A summary
of the  financial  instruments  at  September  30, 1996 whose  contract  amounts
represent potential credit risk is as follows:

                 regardless  of  whether  fee paid and  whether  adverse  change
                 clauses exist.  The amount also includes  commitments to extend
                 new credit totaling $12.0 million.

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



                                   Liquidity

         Liquidity  describes  the  ability  of the  Company  to meet  financial
obligations,  including lending commitments and contingencies, that arise during
the  normal  course  of  business.  Liquidity  is  primarily  needed to meet the
borrowing and deposit  withdrawal  requirements of the customers of the Company,
as well as to meet current and planned expenditures.

         The Company's  major sources of liquidity  ("financing  activities"  as
used in the  Consolidated  Statements of Cash Flows) are the Bank's deposit base
and  stockholders'  equity.  At September 30, 1996,  total  deposits were $243.4
million.  Core deposits,  defined as all deposits except certificates of deposit
of  $100,000  or more,  totaled  $233.3  million  or  95.9%  of total  deposits.
Stockholders' equity totaled $30.2 million at September 30, 1996. Also, the Bank
has  established  a credit  line with the  Federal  Home  Loan  Bank of  Atlanta
("FHLB") as an  additional  source of  liquidity.  At September  30,  1996,  the
Company had $7.0 million in advances from the FHLB outstanding.  Collateral must
be pledged to the FHLB before  advances can be obtained.  At September  30, 1996
the  Company's  approved  credit  limit with the FHLB was $32.0  million and the
Company had  collateral  sufficient  to borrow up to $48.2  million.  Borrowings
above the approved credit limit require special approval. In addition, liquidity
is also  provided  through the  Company's  portfolio  of cash,  interest-bearing
deposits in other  banks,  and federal  funds sold.  Such assets  totaled  $19.1
million or 6.5% of total assets at September 30, 1996.


                               Capital Resources

         Bank  holding  companies  currently  are required to maintain a minimum
ratio   of  total   capital   to   risk-weighted   assets   (including   certain
off-balance-sheet activities, such as standby letters of credit) of 8%. At least
half of the total  capital is  required to be "Tier 1  capital",  consisting  of
common equity, retained earnings,  noncumulative perpetual preferred stock and a
limited amount of cumulative  perpetual  preferred stock,  less certain goodwill
items and other intangible  assets. The remainder ("Tier 2 capital") may consist
of (a) the  allowance  for loan  losses  of up to 1.25%  of  risk-weighted  risk
assets, (b) excess of qualifying  perpetual  preferred stock, (c) hybrid capital
instruments,  (d) perpetual debt, (e) mandatory convertible debt securities, and
(f) a limited amount of subordinated debt and intermediate-term  preferred stock
up to 50% of  Tier 1  capital.  The  maximum  amount  of  supplementary  capital
elements  that  qualifies as Tier 2 capital is limited to 100% of Tier 1 capital
net of goodwill and certain other intangible assets. Total capital is the sum of
Tier  1  and  Tier  2  capital  less   reciprocal   holdings  of  other  banking
organizations' capital instruments,  investments in unconsolidated  subsidiaries
and any other deductions as determined by the Federal Reserve Board  (determined
on a case by case basis or as a matter of policy after formal rule-making).

         In addition to the risk-based capital  guidelines,  the Federal Reserve
Board has adopted a minimum Tier 1 capital  leverage  ratio,  under which a bank
holding company must maintain a minimum level of Tier 1 capital to average total
consolidated  assets of at least 3% in the case of a bank  holding  company that
has  the  highest  regulatory   examination  rating  and  is  not  contemplating
significant  growth or expansion.  All other bank holding companies are expected
to maintain a leverage ratio of at least 1.0% to 2.0% above the stated  minimum.
The leverage  capital ratio assists in the assessment of the capital adequacy of
bank holding companies.  Its principal objective is to place a constraint on the
maximum degree to which a banking  organization  can leverage its equity capital
base, even if it invests primarily in assets with low risk-weights.

                    Material Changes in Financial Condition

Cash and Due from Banks

         Cash and due from banks  represents  cash on hand, cash on deposit with
other  banks and cash  items in the  process of  collection.  As a result of the
Company's cash management  services provided to large,  sophisticated  corporate
customers  (which includes  processing coin and currency  transactions  for, and
checks received by, retail customers), the Company's cash balances may fluctuate
more widely on a daily basis and may be higher than industry  averages for banks
of a similar asset size.


Loans

         At September 30, 1996,  the Company's loan  portfolio,  net of unearned
income,  totaled $225.7 million, or 76.3% of its total assets of $296.0 million.
The categories of loans in the Company's  portfolio are commercial,  real estate
development and construction, residential and commercial mortgages and consumer.

         Real estate  development and construction  loans constitute the largest
portion of the  Company's  lending  activities.  Since  December 31, 1995,  real
estate  development and  construction  loans have accounted for $19.2 million or
54.7% of the $35.1 million increase in total loans. Increases in retail loans of
$12.7 million,  representing principally residential equity lines of credit, and
commercial  mortgages of $3.1 million accounted for the remainder of the growth.
The  real  estate  development  and  construction  portfolio  consisted  of  the
following at September 30, 1996:

                                                  Amount         Percent
          ---------------------------------------------------------------

          Residential construction (1)           $ 52,954         48.5%
          Commercial construction                   2,798          2.6
          Residential land development             46,277         42.4
          Residential land acquisition (2)          7,061          6.5
                                                 --------        -----
                                                 $109,090        100.0%
                                                 ========        =====

          --------------------------
          (1) Includes $13.9 million of loans to individuals for construction
              of their primary personal residence.
          (2) Includes $2.5 million of loans to individuals for the purchase
              of residential building lots.


         The real estate  development and construction loan portfolio  primarily
represents loans for the construction of single family  dwellings.  At September
30, 1996,  loans to individuals for the  construction of their primary  personal
residences  accounted  for  $13.9  million  of  the  $53.0  million  residential
construction portfolio.  These loans are typically secured by the property under
construction,  frequently  include  additional  collateral  (such  as  a  second
mortgage on the borrower's present home), and commonly have maturities of six to
twelve months.  The remaining  $39.1 million of residential  construction  loans
represented loans to residential  builders and developers.  Approximately 45% of
these loans were for the  construction of residential  homes for which a binding
sales contract  existed and the prospective  buyers had been  pre-qualified  for
permanent mortgage financing by either third-party  lenders (mortgage  companies
or other financial  institutions) or the Company.  To date,  permanent  mortgage
loan financing has primarily been provided by third-party  lenders.  The Company
attempts to obtain the  permanent  mortgage  loan under  terms,  conditions  and
documentation  standards  which  permit  the  sale of the  mortgage  loan in the
secondary  mortgage loan market.  The Company's  practice is to immediately sell
substantially  all  residential  mortgage  loans in the  secondary  market  with
servicing released.

                                      (10)

<PAGE>
         Loans for the  development of residential  land  represented the second
largest component of the real estate development and construction loan portfolio
at  September  30, 1996.  Generally,  development  loans are extended  only when
evidence is provided  that the lots under  development  will be sold to builders
satisfactory to the Company.

         The Company makes residential real estate  development and construction
loans generally to provide interim financing on property during the construction
period. These loans are typically made for 80% or less of the appraised value of
the property.  Residential real estate  development and construction  loan funds
are disbursed  periodically as  pre-specified  stages of completion are attained
based  upon  site  inspections.  Interest  rates  on  these  loans  are  usually
adjustable.

         The Company  has  successfully  limited  losses in this area of lending
through careful  monitoring of development and  construction  loans with on-site
inspections and control of  disbursements  on loans in process.  Development and
construction loans are secured by the properties under development/ construction
and personal guarantees are typically obtained. Further, to assure that reliance
is not placed solely upon the value of the  underlying  collateral,  the Company
considers  the  financial  condition  and  reputation  of the  borrower  and any
guarantors,  the amount of the  borrower's  equity in the  project,  independent
appraisals, cost estimates and pre-construction sale information.

Allowance for Credit Losses

         The Company provides for credit losses through the  establishment of an
allowance for credit losses (the  "Allowance")  by  provisions  charged  against
earnings.  Based upon management's  evaluation,  monthly  provisions are made to
maintain the Allowance at a level adequate to absorb potential losses within the
loan  portfolio.  The factors used by management in determining  the adequacy of
the Allowance  include the  historical  relationships  among loans  outstanding;
credit loss  experience  and the current  level of the  Allowance;  a continuing
evaluation of non-performing  loans and loans classified by management as having
potential for future  deterioration  taking into consideration  collateral value
and the  financial  strength of the  borrower and  guarantors;  and a continuing
evaluation of the present and future economic environment. Regular review of the
loan  portfolio's  quality is conducted  by the  Company's  staff.  In addition,
independent  consultants,  bank regulatory agencies and independent  accountants
periodically review the loan portfolio.  At September 30, 1996 the Allowance was
1.51% of total loans,  net of unearned  income.  The  Allowance at September 30,
1996 is considered by management to be sufficient to address the possible  risks
in the loan portfolio given current conditions and information.

                                      (11)

         The changes in the Allowance are presented in the following table.

         ----------------------------------
         (1)      Non-performing  and past-due loans include loans on nonaccrual
                  status, restructured loans and loans past due 90 days or more.
                  At September  30, 1996 and 1995,  non-performing  and past-due
                  loans totaled $3.9 million and $868,000,  respectively.  There
                  is no direct  relationship  between the size of the  Allowance
                  (and  the  related   provision  for  credit  losses)  and  the
                  non-performing and past-due loans.  Accordingly,  the ratio of
                  Allowance to  non-performing  and  past-due  loans may tend to
                  fluctuate significantly.


Loans on nonaccrual  status  increased from $1.1 million at December 31, 1995 to
$3.7 million at September 30, 1996. Of the $2.6 million  increase,  $2.3 million
represented  loans to a single borrower and its related  entities,  all of which
are secured by  residential  real  estate in various  stages of  completion.  In
addition,  at  September  30,  1996,  the  underlying  real  estate  of loans on
nonaccrual status totaling  approximately  $651,000 had been sold at foreclosure
auction.  The sales  represent  full  recovery of principal  and are expected to
settle in the fourth quarter of 1996.

                             Results of Operations

         The Company  reported net income for the three  months ended  September
30,  1996 of $751,000  or $.33 per share  compared  to $1.0  million or $.45 per
share for the  corresponding  period in 1995. Core operating  earnings  remained
strong.  However,  the Company recorded a special  one-time  after-tax charge of
$299,000 or $.14 per share as a result of  congressional  legislation  providing
for the  recapitalization  of the Savings  Association  Insurance Fund ("SAIF").
This one-time  charge also affected  approximately  700 other  commercial  banks
which  acquired  deposits  from  savings   institutions  and  should  result  in
significant future reductions in deposit insurance premiums paid by the Company.
Return on average  assets and return on average  equity  were 1.05% and  10.13%,
respectively,  for the third  quarter.  If adjusted to exclude the one-time SAIF
assessment,  return on average  assets and return on average  equity  would have
been 1.47% and 14.15%, respectively.

         Net income was $2.8  million for the nine months  ended  September  30,
1996 as compared to $2.4 million for the corresponding  period in 1995. Earnings
per share for the nine months  ended  September  30,  1996 were $1.23  ($1.37 if
adjusted to exclude the one-time  SAIF  assessment)  compared to $1.33 for 1995.
While net income,  adjusted to exclude the one-time SAIF  assessment,  increased
28.9% from period to period,  earnings per share,  as adjusted,  increased  only
3.0% as a result of the successful  completion of the June 27, 1995 common stock
offering which included the issuance of 862,500 shares. Return on average assets
and return on average  equity were 1.36% and 12.75%,  respectively,  through the
nine months ended  September  30, 1996. If adjusted to exclude the one-time SAIF
assessment,  return on average  assets and return on average  equity  would have
been 1.51% and 14.11%, respectively.

Net Interest Income

         Net  interest  income  increased  $2.2 million or 21.3% during the nine
months  ended  September  30,  1996 as  compared  to the  same  period  in 1995.
Improvement  in net interest  income was  primarily  the result of the continued
growth of the loan portfolio. The ratio of average loans, net of unearned income
to average  interest-bearing  liabilities  increased  from 92.2% during the nine
months  ended  September  30,  1995 to  101.4%  for the  same  period  in  1996.
Correspondingly,  the net yield on earning assets  increased from 6.40% to 6.68%
during the respective periods.

         The following  table provides  further  analysis of the increase in net
interest  income  during the nine months ended  September 30, 1996 over the same
period in 1995.

Noninterest Income

         Noninterest   income  totaled  $519,000  for  the  three  months  ended
September 30, 1996 as compared to $506,000 for the corresponding  period in 1995
and $1.5  million for the nine months  ended  September  30, 1996 as compared to
$1.2 million for the same period in 1995.  Growth in  noninterest  income during
1996 primarily  reflected  increases in fees charged for services of $48,000 and
$178,000 for the three months and nine months ended  September 30, 1996 over the
same  periods in 1995.  These  increases  resulted  from an  increasing  deposit
account base as well as improved business activity associated with the company's
cash management services.  Gains on the sales of mortgage loans also contributed
to the growth in noninterest  income during the nine months ended  September 30,
1996,  increasing  $53,000 over the same period in 1995.  However,  a decline in
loans sold from $13.9  million to $11.2  million  during the three  months ended
September 30, 1995 as compared to the corresponding period of 1996 resulted in a
decline of $59,000 in gains recognized for the quarter.


Noninterest Expense

         Noninterest  expense  for  the  three  months  and  nine  months  ended
September  30, 1996  increased  $947,000 or 38.2% and $1.7 million or 22.7% over
the corresponding periods in 1995. The increase during each period was, in large
part,  the  result of the  special  one-time  deposit  insurance  assessment  of
$487,000  pre-tax  recorded by the Company in  September,  1996.  As  previously
mentioned,  the charge  represented  that  mandated  by Congress in an effort to
recapitalize  the SAIF. The increase in noninterest  expenses also  corresponded
with increased business activity,  including related marketing efforts,  and the
ongoing  upgrade  of  data  processing  and  management   information   systems.
Specifically,  salaries and employee  benefits  increased  $173,000 and $578,000
during the three months and nine months ended  September 30, 1996 as compared to
the same periods in 1995 and  primarily  represented  the addition of 19 net new
employees  since  December  31,  1995.  Growth  in the  employee  base  has been
necessary  to  accommodate   increased  business   activity,   including  branch
expansion.  Occupancy  costs  increased  $112,000 and $325,000  during the three
months and nine months ended  September  30,1996 as compared to 1995 as a result
of branch expansion efforts.  Also as a result of expansion  efforts,  marketing
costs  increased  $55,000 and $118,000  during these same periods as compared to
1995. In addition,  equipment  costs  increased  $37,000 and $88,000  during the
three and nine months ended  September  30, 1996,  respectively,  as compared to
1995 and  reflected  the upgrade of data  processing  systems as well as general
expansion efforts.

         The  increase  in  noninterest  expense  during 1996 was  mitigated  by
decreases in professional fees, expenses associated with other real estate owned
and losses on the disposition of assets.
