NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

September 30, 2000

NOTE A--BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and
Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles
for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for
a fair presentation have been included.  Operating results for the nine months
ended September 30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may
be expected for the year ending December 31, 2000.  For further information,
refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included
in the Company's annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31,
1999.

NOTE B--EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per common share is calculated by dividing net income by the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted
average of common and potential dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding
during the period.

NOTE C--RELATED PARTY TRANSACTION

A new branch was opened during the quarter ended September 30, 2000.  The
facility is leased from an entity in which two of the Company's directors have
an ownership interest.  The terms of the lease are comparable with the

PART I

ITEM 2.  Management's discussion and analysis of financial conditions and
         results of operations.

EARNINGS SUMMARY

Net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2000 totaled $253,000,  as
compared with $306,000 in the third quarter of 1999.  On a per share basis,
third quarter 2000 income was 15 cents compared with 19 cents for 1999.

Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 totaled $851,000, as
compared to $848,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999.  On a per
share basis, net income equaled 51 cents for 2000 and 52 cents for 1999.  Total
interest for the first nine months of 2000 increased to $10,520,000, a
$2,700,000 or 34.5% increase over the first nine months of 1999.  These items
are discussed in more detail later in this report.

NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income was $1,580,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2000  an
increase of $190,000 over the comparable period in 1999.  For the nine months
ended September 30, 2000, net interest income increased to $4,759,000, an
increase of $872,000 over 1999.

Total interest income was $3,669,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2000
an increase of $913,000 over the same period in 1999.  Interest income for the
nine months ended September 30, 2000 increased by $2,700,000 over the same
period of 1999. This increase is mainly attributable to a 31.0% increase in
total loans when comparing September 30, 2000 to September 30, 1999.

Interest expense of $2,089,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2000
represents an $723,000 increase from the comparable period in 1999.  For the
nine months ended September 30, 2000, interest expense increased by $1,828,000
over the same period of 1999.  This increase is attributable to a 34.4%
increase in interest bearing deposits when comparing September 30, 2000 to
September 30, 1999.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

The provision for loan losses was $138,000 for the first nine months of 2000
compared to $80,000 for the same period of 1999.  Loan charge offs for the nine
months ended September 30, 2000 totaled $71,000 and recoveries for the same
period totaled $5,000.  At September 30, 2000, Bank of the Commonwealth had a
total allowance for loan losses of $1,003,000 or .67% of total loans.

<PAGE>

OTHER INCOME

Other income for the quarter ended September 30, 2000 was $337,000, an increase
of $4,000 from the $333,000 reported for the three months ended September 30,
1999. For the nine months ended September 30, 2000, other income was $894,000
as compared to $886,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999.

OTHER EXPENSES

increase of $268,000 or 20.9% over the $1,281,000 recorded during the quarter
ended September 30, 1999.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2000, other
expenses increased to $4,362,000 from the $3,546,000 recorded for the same
period of 1999.

INTEREST SENSITIVITY AND LIQUIDITY

Management attempts to match rate sensitive assets to rate sensitive
liabilities, by planning and controlling the mix and maturities of these assets
and liabilities.  The purpose of this asset/liability management is to create
and maintain a proper relationship between rate sensitive assets and
liabilities and also to provide adequate liquidity.

Liquidity is the ability to meet customers' demand for funds.  These
requirements are met by the sale or maturity of existing assets, loan payments
and increases in deposits.

NONPERFORMING ASSETS

The Bank's nonperforming assets consisted of the following:

                                     September 30, 2000      December 31, 1999

Loans past due 90 days or
more and still accruing                $   67,000                 $   73,000

Nonaccrual loans                        1,640,000                  1,109,000

Other real estate owned                   295,000                    601,000
                                        ---------                  ---------

Total nonperforming                    $2,002,000                 $1,783,000
                                        =========                  =========

CAPITAL POSITION

Shareholder's equity for the Corporation increased to $13,201,000 from
$12,227,000 or 8.0% from December 31, 1999 to September 30, 2000.
Shareholders' equity for September 30, 2000 reflects a $422,000 net unrealized
loss on securities available for sale in accordance with FASB 115, as compared
to a $528,000 net unrealized loss as of December 31, 1999.

Bank Holding Companies are required to meet a 8.0% risk-based capital
standard.  The Corporation's risk based capital was 9.0% as of
September 30, 2000.


STOCK DIVIDEND

At the September 2000 Board of Directors' meeting, a 3.5 cents per share cash
dividend was declared, payable on September 29, 2000 to shareholders of record
on September 25, 2000.

299 shareholders representing 764,914 shares participated in the September 29,
2000 Dividend Reinvestment Plan and 18 shareholders participated in the Stock
Purchase Plan for a total of $3,000.


SUMMARY

As of September 30, 2000, 70.1% of the Bank's loan portfolio consisted of
commercial loans which are considered to provide higher yields and also
generally carry a greater risk.  It should be noted that 76.8% of these
commercial loans are collateralized with real estate, and accordingly do not
represent an unfavorable risk.  At September 30, 2000, 74.9% of the Bank's
total loan portfolio consisted of loans collateralized with real estate.

The Bank's commitment is to maintain the Corporation's strengths in the markets
it serves during difficult economic cycles, and to act resourcefully when
confronted with new challenges.
