                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  JUNE 30, 1998
                                   (UNAUDITED)


NOTE 1 -      CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
              The consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Towne
              Bancorp, Inc. ("the Company") without audit. In the opinion of
              management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly the
              Company's financial position, results of operations and changes in
              cash flows have been made. The financial statements include the
              accounts of Towne Bank ("the Bank"), the Company's wholly-owned
              subsidiary, through June 19, 1998 when the Bank was sold. See Note
              5.

              Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
              financial statements prepared in accordance with generally
              accepted accounting principles have been omitted. The results of
              operations for the period ended June 30, 1998 are not necessarily
              indicative of the operating results for the full year.

              The Independent Auditor's Report, dated March 3, 1998, on the
              Company's 1997 financial statements and for each of the three
              years in the period ended December 31, 1997 included an
              explanatory paragraph for the Company's "going concern
              uncertainty." Since that time, the Company has sold its only
              subsidiary on June 19, 1998 (see Note 5).

              The proceeds of the transaction paid to the Company will be used
              to pay ongoing expenses of the Company including its proposed
              liquidation and dissolution. The Board of Directors of the Company
              hope to liquidate the Company before year-end 1998 and to
              distribute all remaining assets of the Company to its shareholders
              on or before such time.

NOTE 2 -      REGULATORY MATTERS
              The Company and the Bank are regulated by federal and state
              banking agencies. As a result, they are subject to periodic
              examinations by the agencies and are required to comply with
              various regulatory matters. As a result of a June 30, 1997 Joint
              Report of Examination issued by the Federal Reserve Bank of
              Cleveland ("the Federal Reserve Bank") and the Ohio Division of
              Financial Institutions ("the Division"), the Board of Directors of
              the Bank authorized, on November 12, 1997, the acceptance of a
              Memorandum of Understanding between the Bank and the regulatory
              agencies. Under the Memorandum, which was effective November 14,
              1997, the Bank agreed to develop a capital plan, upgrade its
              budgeting process, assess its management structure and board
              oversight, hire an experienced chief lending officer, establish
              loan review procedures, provide periodic reporting to the
              regulators, and other matters.

              As a result of an additional examination in December, 1997 by the
              regulatory agencies, the Board of Directors of the Bank
              authorized, on January 30, 1998, the acceptance of a Cease and
              Desist Order ("the Order") between the Bank and the regulatory
              agencies. Under the Order, which was effective February 4, 1998,
              the Bank agreed to comply with each and every provision of the
              Order, many of which are in the Memorandum of Understanding
              described above. The Order requires that the Bank: (a) within 30
              days employ a chief lending officer; (b) within 10 days retain an

              written plan for improving earnings for 1998 and 1999; (l) within

              days initiate a compliance program designed to ensure compliance
              with the Order, and thereafter, within thirty days of the end of
              each quarter submit a report of actions taken to comply with the
              Order.

              The Order will remain in effect until stayed, modified or
              terminated by the Division and the Federal Reserve Bank. The Bank
              has not been able to comply with certain of the requirements of
              the Order. The Bank and the Company continue to be subject to
              regulatory examinations and close oversight.

              The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital
              requirements administered by federal and state agencies. Failure
              to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain
              mandatory, and possibly additional discretionary, actions by
              regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material
              effect on the Company's financial statements. Under capital
              adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt
              corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines
              that involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and
              certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory
              accounting practices. The capital amounts and classification are
              also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about
              components, risk weightings, and other factors. As the Company's
              consolidated assets are less than $150 million and it does not
              meet other specified criteria at June 30, 1998 and December 31,
              1997, the Company is not subject to the consolidated capital
              requirements of the Federal Reserve System's Bank Holding
              Companies Act, as amended June 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997.
              However, as a part of the Company's initial approval as a bank
              holding company, the Federal Reserve Bank did require the
              following: 1) no dividends are to be paid by the Company during
              its first three years of operations; 2) no borrowing by the
              Company will be permitted during the Company's first three years
              of operations; and 3) the Bank will maintain a 10% Tier 1 Capital
              (to total assets) ratio for its first three years of operations.

              On a parent company only basis, the Company's only source of funds
              are dividends paid by the Bank. The ability of the Bank to pay
              dividends is subject to limitations under various laws and
              regulations, and to prudent and sound banking principles.

              The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System generally
              considers it to be an unsafe and unsound banking practice for a
              bank holding company to pay dividends except out of current
              operating income, although other factors such as overall capital
              adequacy and projected income may also be relevant in determining
              whether dividends should be paid.

NOTE 3 -      CONTINGENT LIABILITY - RESCINDABLE COMMON STOCK
              The Company, as a result of federal and state securities law
              compliance matters, has a contingent liability related to the sale
              of common stock in its initial public offers. Notification of
              these securities law compliance matters was first received from
              the Securities and Exchange Commission in a letter dated February
              4, 1997. The maximum contingent liability would be the full
              purchase price of all 370,761 shares sold by the Company, or
              approximately $4,500,000, plus interest. The Company retained
              special securities law counsel to advise it with respect to the
              matter. As a result, the Company filed a Registration Statement
              with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 5, 1998 to
              address this matter. However, no assurance can be made that the
              Securities and Exchange Commission will approve the Registration
              Statement or that the Company will proceed with the Registration
              Statement.



                                       -7-


<PAGE>   8


              If the Registration Statement becomes effective, the Company will
              offer (the "Rescission Offer") to purchase shares of the Company's
              common stock from those shareholders of the Company who purchased
              the shares directly from the Company from 1992 through 1996,
              subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Rescission
              Offer. The Company will offer to repurchase the shares for the
              initial price paid to the Company by each shareholder, plus
              interest at a rate that varies based on a shareholder's state of
              residence at the time the shares were purchased. In view of the
              matters described in Note 5, the Company will most likely not
              proceed with the Rescission Offer.

              As a result of this matter, the common stock issued and
              outstanding has been reported in the consolidated balance sheets
              as "rescindable common stock". Such amount is reported after
              liabilities but before stockholders' deficit.

              In July, 1998, a class action lawsuit was filed on behalf of Towne
              Bancorp's shareholders seeking damages related to the rescindable
              classification of their common stock and its improper
              registration.  The Company is obligated to indemnify its 
              directors and former directors for costs assumed by them in 
              connection with the lawsuit.

NOTE 4 -      CONTINGENT LIABILITY - OTHER
              The Company has received an informal inquiry from the Securities
              and Exchange Commission, Midwest Regional Office, Division of
              Enforcement regarding the initial public offering of the Company's
              common shares. In connection with the informal inquiry, the
              Division of Enforcement has asked the Company to furnish certain
              documents relating to the offering. The Company intends to fully
              cooperate with the informal inquiry. In the event the Division of
              Enforcement determines that there is a basis for an enforcement
              action and elects to pursue such an action against the Company,
              its officers or directors, the defense costs associated with, and
              any resulting judgments from any enforcement action could have a
              material adverse affect on the Company.

NOTE 5 -      SALE OF BANK
              On June 11, 1998, the Company signed a definitive Agreement that
              provided for a capital infusion of $2,000,000 into Towne Bank, the
              wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, by Exchange Bancshares,
              Inc. ("EBI"), Luckey, Ohio. The Company and EBI also joined the
              execution of a separate Merger Agreement by and between Towne Bank
              and The Exchange Bank, a wholly owned subsidiary of EBI, dated as
              of June 19, 1998. The transactions contemplated under the
              Agreement and the Merger Agreement were consummated effective as
              of June 19, 1998, after receipt of approval from the Ohio Division
              of Financial Institutions and the Federal Reserve Bank of
              Cleveland. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and the Merger
              Agreement, the Company, as a shareholder of Towne Bank, received
              cash in the amount of $825,420 on June 19, 1998. A gain of
              $184,866 resulted from the sale.

              Under the terms of the Agreement and the Merger Agreement, an
              additional $275,140 was deposited with Exchange Bank, as escrow
              agent, to be held for a period of six (6) months. At the end of
              such six (6) month period, assuming that there has been no
              demonstrated breach of the representations and warranties of the
              Agreement or merger Agreement by the Company or Towne Bank, the
              $275,140 held in escrow will be released to the Company. It is not
              probable that the $275,140 will be received by the Company.

NOTE 6 -      EXTRAORDINARY ITEM
              On June 18, 1998, capital lease obligations were extinguished when
              a third party purchaser bought the Bank's two branches and
              terminated the related lease agreements with the Company. This
              transaction resulted in an extraordinary gain of $230,646.

ITEM 2.       MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
              The Company had total consolidated assets of $862,942 at June 30,
              1998, a decrease of $21,706,113 compared to $22,569,055 at
              December 31, 1997. The Company sold its bank subsidiary on June
              19, 1998 as described in Note 5.

              The Company reported a net loss of $1,094,292 for the six months
              ended June 30, 1998. A significant portion of this loss in the
              first half can be attributed to the provision for loan losses of
              $739,610. Additionally, the Company had an extraordinary gain on
              the early extinguishment of debt related to a capitalized lease
              obligation which was sold, amounting to $230,646. The Company also
              recognized a gain on the sale of its subsidiary bank of $184,866
              (see Note 5).

              The Company is a party to one or more lawsuits. The Company does
              not plan to liquidate until lawsuits are settled.


              Safe Harbor Statement Under the Private Securities Litigation
              Reform Act of 1995

              The Company cautions that any forward-looking statements (as such
              term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
              1995) including, but not limited to, statements regarding the
              Company's operations during the pendancy of litigation and the
              amount of working capital needed to fund operations contained in
              this report, or made by management of the Company, involves risks
              and uncertainties, and are subject to change based on various
              important factors. The following factors, among others, in some
              cases have affected, and in the future could affect, the Company's
              financial performance and actual results, and could cause actual
              results for fiscal 1998 and beyond to differ materially from those
              expressed or implied in any such forward-looking statements:
              greater than anticipated costs associated with pending litigation,
              additional claims, which could result in increased defense costs
              and future capital needs. Actual results may differ materially
              from management expectations.

                                     PART II


ITEM 1.    LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
           The Company, certain officers, and a former board member of the
           Company have been named as defendants in a civil action initiated by
           Thomas Eichler, a former officer and director of the Company. The
           Complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the
           Northern District of Ohio, Western Division. The Complaint alleges a
           breach of duty as a result of the failure to hire Mr. Eichler as an
           employee of the Company. The Complaint seeks compensatory damages in
           the nature of lost wages and punitive damages. The Company has
           negotiated a settlement with Mr. Eichler that resulted in a dismissal
           of all claims.  In connection with the settlement, the Company 
           anticipates making a $40,000 payment to Mr. Eichler.

           The Company is a party to one or more lawsuits. The Company does not
           plan to liquidate until lawsuits are settled.


ITEM 2.    CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
           None.


ITEM 3.    DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES
           None.


ITEM 4.    SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
           None.


ITEM 5.    OTHER INFORMATION
           Any shareholder proposal submitted outside the processes of Rule
           14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 for presentation to
           the Company's 1999 Annual Meeting of Shareholders will be considered
           untimely for purposes of Rules 14a-4 and 14a-5 if notice thereof is
           not received by the Company within a reasonable time before the date
           of the Company's 1999 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. Shareholders
           may expect that the Company will schedule its 1999 Annual Meeting of
           Shareholders in May or June of 1999.

           In October 1998, Jerome Bechstein, former Towne Bank president and
           chief executive officer and current president and chief executive
           officer of the Company, and Lois Brigham, former executive vice
           president, signed an order with the Federal Reserve System Board,
           that prohibits Mr. Bechstein and Ms. Brigham from any future banking
           employment.
