CORPORATION BONUS POLICY

         Historically, Hamilton Bancorp has distributed an aggregate percentage
of up to 11% (approximately 6% in 1998) of Hamilton Bancorp's pre-tax net
income, after the deduction of loan loss provisions ("Available Pre-Tax Net
Income"), to its executive officers and other employees as bonuses. Up to five
percent (5%) of the Available Pre-Tax Net Income has historically been
distributed to Eduardo A. Masferrer, Hamilton Bancorp's Chairman of the Board,
President and

                                        5

Chief Executive Officer, although in 1997 and 1998 the amount was 4% and 3%,
respectively. Up to 6% (3% in 1998) of the Available Pre-Tax Net Income has
historically been distributed to other employees based upon and in accordance
with the following criteria: (i) each employee whose job performance was
satisfactory or better, as determined by an appropriate department head, has
received a bonus equal to two weeks' salary, (ii) each employee whose quarterly
job performance is significantly above average, as determined by an appropriate
department head, has received an additional bonus equal to one week's salary for
each quarter in which such a review is received and (iii) any remaining portion
of the percentage is distributed to those employees who have made superior
contributions to Hamilton Bancorp during the year as determined by Hamilton
Bancorp's Personnel Management Committee. Hamilton Bancorp may also make an
additional contribution from the Available Pre-Tax Net Income to the 401(k) plan
for its executive officers and other employees on behalf of all participants in
the 401(k) plan at the end of the year ($.50 per participant in 1998). During
the year ended December 31, 1998, $2,152,000 of Available Pre-Tax Net Income was
distributed pursuant to Hamilton Bancorp's bonus plan.

401(k) PLAN

         Hamilton Bancorp maintains a 401(k) plan for its executive officers and
other employees. Under the terms of the 401(k) plan, for each dollar contributed
by an employee, Hamilton Bancorp intends to contribute a discretionary amount on
behalf of the participant (the "Matching Contribution"). In addition, at the end
of the plan year, Hamilton Bancorp may make an additional contribution from the
Available Pre-Tax Net Income bonus pool on behalf of all participants at the end
of the year ("Additional Contribution"). The amount that Hamilton Bancorp
contributes to the 401(k) plan has historically varied from year to year. During
the year ended December 31, 1998, Hamilton Bancorp made a $.25 Matching
Contribution and a $.25 Additional Contribution on behalf of each participant in
the aggregate amount of $154,819.

DIRECTORS' COMPENSATION

         The Directors of Hamilton Bancorp other than executive officers,
receive a quarterly retainer of $4,000 and a fee of $1,000 for each meeting of
the Board or committee attended in excess of regular quarterly meetings of the
Board and one meeting of each committee per year. Hamilton Bancorp also
reimburses all directors of Hamilton Bancorp for all travel-related expenses
incurred in connection with their activities as directors.

CORPORATION STOCK OPTION PLANS

         In December 1993, Hamilton Bancorp adopted the 1993 Stock Option Plan
for Key Employees and Directors, pursuant to which 2,000 shares of Common Stock
are currently reserved for issuance upon exercise of options. In June 1998,
Hamilton Bancorp adopted the 1998 Executive Incentive Compensation Plan,
pursuant to which 70,988 shares of Common Stock are currently reserved for
issuance upon exercise of options. The Stock Option Plans are designed as a
means to retain and motivate key employees and directors. Hamilton Bancorp's
Compensation Committee, or in the absence thereof, the Board of Directors,
administers and interprets the Stock Option Plans and is authorized to grant
options thereunder to all eligible employees of Hamilton Bancorp

                                        6


<PAGE>   9



including executive officers and directors (whether or not they are employees)
of Hamilton Bancorp or affiliated companies. Options granted under the Stock
Option Plans are on such terms and at such prices as determined by the
Compensation Committee, except that the per share exercise price of incentive
stock options cannot be less than the fair market value of the Common Stock on
the date of grant. Each option is exercisable after the period or periods
specified in the option agreement, but no option may be exercisable after the
expiration of ten years from the date of grant. The 1993 Stock Option Plan will
terminate on December 3, 2003 and the 1998 Stock Option Plan will terminate on
June 15, 2008, unless either is sooner terminated by Hamilton Bancorp's Board of
Directors. Incentive stock options granted to an individual who owns (or is
deemed to own) at least 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of
stock of Hamilton Bancorp or its subsidiary must have an exercise price of at
least 110% of the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant,
and a term of no more than five years. The Stock Option Plans also authorize
Hamilton Bancorp to make or guarantee loans to optionees to enable them to
exercise their options. Such loans must (i) provide for recourse to the
optionee, (ii) bear interest at a rate not less than the prime rate of interest,
and (iii) be secured by the shares of Common Stock purchased. The Board of
Directors has the authority to amend or terminate the Stock Option Plans,
provided that no such amendment may impair the rights of the holder of any
outstanding option without the written consent of such holder, and provided
further that certain amendments of the Stock Option Plans are subject to
stockholder approval.

         The following table sets forth certain information with respect to
options to purchase shares of Common Stock granted under Hamilton Bancorp's
Stock Option Plans to the Named Officers during the year ended December 31,
1998, and represents all options granted by Hamilton Bancorp to such Named
Officers for the period. In accordance with rules of the Securities and Exchange
Commission, the table also describes the hypothetical gains that would exist for
the respective options granted based on assumed rates of annual compounded stock
appreciation of 5% and 10% from the date of grant to the end of the option term.
These hypothetical gains are based on assumed rates of appreciation and,
therefore, the actual gains, if any, on stock option exercises are dependent on
the future performance of the Common Stock, overall stock market conditions and
the Named Officer's continued employment with Hamilton Bancorp. As a result, the
amounts reflected in this table may not necessarily be achieved.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS.

         CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS WITH MANAGEMENT

         From time to time, Hamilton Bank makes loans and extends credit to
certain of Hamilton Bancorp's and/or Hamilton Bank's officers and directors and
to certain companies affiliated with such persons. In the opinion of Hamilton
Bancorp all of such loans and extensions of credit were made in the ordinary
course of business, on substantially the same terms, including interest rates
and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with
other third parties. At December 31, 1998, an aggregate of $424,000 of loans and
