                    TRI-COUNTY BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES


              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                               September 30, 2000
                                   (unaudited)

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The unaudited condensed  consolidated  financial statements include the accounts
of  Tri-County  Bancorp,   Inc.  (the  "Company"),   Tri-County  Bank  (formerly
Tri-County  Federal  Savings Bank) (the "Bank") and First  Tri-County  Services,
Inc. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated
in consolidation.

The accompanying  unaudited  condensed  consolidated  financial  statements were
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial  information and with  instructions  for Form 10-QSB and Article 10 of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all information and disclosures
required by generally  accepted  accounting  principles  for complete  financial
statements. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not purport to
contain all the necessary financial  disclosures  required by generally accepted
accounting principles that might otherwise be necessary in the circumstances and
should be read  together with the 1999  consolidated  financial  statements  and
notes  thereto of  Tri-County  Bancorp,  Inc. and  Subsidiaries  included in the
Company's  Annual  Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended  December  31, 1999.
However,  all normal recurring  adjustments have been made which, in the opinion
of  Management,  are  necessary  to  the  fair  presentation  of  the  financial
statements.

The results of operations for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2000 are
not  necessarily  indicative  of the results  which may be expected for the year
ending December 31, 2000 or any other period.

See Notes 2 and 3.


NOTE 2 - EARNINGS PER SHARE

In February  1997, the FASB issued  Statement No. 128,  Earnings Per Share (SFAS
128).  SFAS 128 replaced the  calculation of primary and fully diluted  earnings
per share  (EPS) with basic and  diluted  EPS.  Unlike  primary  EPS,  basic EPS
excludes any dilutive effects of options,  warrants, and convertible securities.
Diluted EPS is very similar to fully diluted EPS. All EPS amounts presented have
been restated, as applicable, to conform with the new requirements.


NOTE 3 - INVESTMENTS

Effective  January 1, 1994,  the Company  adopted SFAS No. 115,  Accounting  for
Certain  Investments in Debt and Equity Securities.  In accordance with SFAS No.
115,  the Company  classified  its  investment  securities  and  mortgage-backed
securities  as either "held to  maturity,"  "available  for sale," or "trading."
Management  has determined  that all  applicable  securities are either "held to
maturity" or "available for sale."

Investment  and  mortgage-backed  securities  designated as held to maturity are
stated at cost adjusted for  amortization of the related  premiums and accretion
of  discounts,  computed  using the level  yield  method.  The  Company  has the
positive intent and ability to hold these securities to maturity.

Investment and mortgage-backed  securities  designated as available for sale are
stated at estimated market value. Unrealized gains and losses are aggregated and
reported as a separate component of equity capital, net of deferred taxes. These
securities  are acquired with the intent to hold them to maturity,  but they are
available for disposal in the event of unforeseen liquidity needs.

                                      -7-
<PAGE>
Effective  January  1,  1998,  the  Company  adopted  SFAS  No.  130,  Reporting
Comprehensive  Income.  SFAS No. 130 requires  that an  enterprise  (a) classify
items of other comprehensive income by their nature in a financial statement and
(b) display the accumulated  balance of other  comprehensive  income  separately
from retained earnings and additional paid-in capital in the equity section of a
statement of financial condition. The Company's only item of other comprehensive
income is the unrealized gain (loss) on securities  available for sale, which is
reported net of tax effect.  The  following  schedule  reflects  the  unrealized
holding gains arising during the periods ended September 30, 2000 and 1999.

On June 15, 1998, the financial  Accounting  Standards  Board (FASB) issued SFAS
No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.  SFAS No.
133, effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000, establishes a new
model  for  accounting  for  derivatives  and  hedging   activities.   Upon  the
Statement's initial application,  all derivative  instruments are required to be
recognized  in  the  statement  of  financial   position  as  either  assets  or
liabilities  and  measured  at fair  value.  FASB  also  issued  SFAS  No.  138,
Accounting for Certain  Derivative  Instruments and Certain Hedging  Activities.
SFAS No. 138 will be adopted  concurrently with SFAS No. 133 on January 1, 2001.
Company management does not expect the adoption of SFAS No 133 and 138 to have a
material impact on the financial statements.

                                  PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION
             Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation


GENERAL

Tri-County Bancorp,  Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated on June 15, 1993, and
is the holding company of Tri-County  Bank (the "Bank").  On September 28, 1993,
the Bank completed its conversion from a mutual savings and loan  association to
a stock form of ownership  at which time the Company  issued  747,500  shares of
Common Stock and utilized a portion of the proceeds to acquire all of the issued
shares of the Bank.

The Company is headquartered in Torrington,  Wyoming and its principal  business
currently  consists of the operation of its wholly owned subsidiary,  Tri-County
Bank. The Bank's primary business is attracting retail deposits from the general
public and investing  those  deposits and other  borrowed  funds in various loan
products,  including  mortgage-backed and mortgage-related  securities,  federal
agency securities and other investment securities.

The Company's results of operations are dependent  primarily on its net interest
income,  which is the  difference  between  the  interest  earned on its assets,
primarily  its loans and  securities  portfolios,  and its cost of funds,  which
consists of the interest paid on its deposits and borrowings.  The Company's net
income also is affected by its provision for loan losses as well as non-interest
income, compensation and benefits, occupancy expenses, Federal deposit insurance
premiums,   other  non-interest   expenses,   and  income  tax  expense.   Other
non-interest expenses consist of real estate lending operations, legal expenses,
accounting services and other  miscellaneous  costs. The earnings of the Company
are  significantly  affected by general  economic  and  competitive  conditions,
particularly  changes in market interest rates,  government policies and actions
of regulatory authorities.

CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION

ASSETS

Total assets of the Bank  increased by $9.01  million or 10.18% during the first
nine months of 2000. The increase was primarily the result of increases in loans
receivable and bank property and equipment  which more than offset  decreases in
interest earning deposits and securities available for sale.

Securities  available for sale decreased by $1.09 million during the nine months
ended  September 30, 2000.  The Bank  redeemed  shares in a mutual fund totaling
$326,000 and principal  payments and  prepayments of $1.28 million were received
on mortgage-backed  securities which more than offset an increase of $436,000 in
the market value of the portfolio.

Securities held to maturity decreased by $36,000 during the first nine months of
2000.  The  decrease  was the result of the receipt of  principal  payments  and
prepayments  of  $1.03  million  on  the  Bank's  portfolio  of  mortgage-backed
securities,  which more than offset the purchase of an agency security  totaling
$995,000.

Loans receivable  increased $9.79 million or 19.98% during the nine months ended
September  30,  2000.  During  this  period  the Bank  originated  or  purchased
portfolio  residential  mortgage loans totaling $12.57 million,  non-residential
mortgage loans  totaling  $1.72 million,  consumer loans totaling $3.41 million,
and  commercial  loans totaling $3.87  million.  During the same period the Bank
received scheduled principal payments and prepayments totaling $11.54 million on
its loan portfolio.  Of the total mortgage loans  originated or purchased during
the year,  $9.58 million were  adjustable rate and $4.71 million were fixed rate
loans.  Because  of a lack of demand  for  certain  types of loans in the Bank's
primary  lending area,  purchased  loans totaled 41% of total lending during the
period. The majority of purchased loans are residential and non-residential real
estate   loans  in  Colorado  and  Idaho   mountain   resort   communities   and
non-residential  real estate loans along the front range of Colorado.  Purchased
loans are subjected to the same  underwriting  standards and loan terms as those
originated by the Bank for its portfolio.

                                      -9-
<PAGE>
Bank property and  equipment  increased by $684,000 and was primarily the result
of the completion of a new branch bank located in Cheyenne,  Wyoming.  The total
cost of the facility was $1.35 million and the opening date was April 3, 2000.

LIABILITIES

Total liabilities of the Bank increased $8.98 million or 11.47% during the first
nine  months of 2000.  Increases  of $2.63 and $6.15  million  in  deposits  and
Federal Home Loan Bank advances primarily caused the increase, respectively.

Deposit  balances  increased  by $2.63  million or 5.08% from $51.81  million at
December  31,  1999 to $54.44  million  at  September  30,  2000.  The  increase
consisted  of  increases  of  $464,000,  $262,000,  and $1.91  million in demand
deposits, savings and NOW deposits, and time deposits, respectively.

Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") increased $6.15 million during
the first nine  months of 2000.  The  advances  are a  supplement  to the Bank's
retail deposits and were primarily used to fund loan originations and purchases.

Deferred  income taxes  increased by $177,000 during the year and was mainly the
result of the application of SFAS No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in
Debt and  Equity  Securities,  which  requires  unrealized  gains and  losses on
available for sale securities to be reported, net of deferred income taxes, as a
separate component of stockholders' equity. The market value of these securities
increased $436,000 during the period,  which resulted in an increase in deferred
income taxes.

STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

Overall,  stockholders' equity increased $36,000 during the first nine months of
2000.

The increase in additional  paid-in capital of $105,000 was caused,  in part, by
the  application  of an accounting  standard  which  requires  charging  current
expense  for the fair value of shares of stock  committed  to be released by the
Bank's  Employee Stock  Ownership Plan and crediting the difference  between the
fair value and the cost of the shares to paid-in  capital  which  resulted in an
increase of $43,000.  Also, directors and officers of the Bank exercised options
on 12,734 shares of common stock, which increased  additional paid-in capital by
$62,000.

The  increase  in  retained  earnings  was the result of net  earnings  totaling
$290,000 which offset the decrease in retained  earnings  caused by the payments
of dividends of $0.33 per share totaling $288,000.

As  discussed  earlier,  SFAS No. 115  requires  unrealized  gains and losses on
securities  classified available for sale to be shown as a separate component of
stockholders'  equity in an amount,  which is net of deferred income taxes.  The
market value of securities classified as available for sale increased during the
first nine months of 2000 and  resulted in an increase,  net of deferred  income
tax, of $288,000 in stockholder's equity.

The increase in treasury  stock of $405,000 was the result of the  repurchase of
43,474 shares during the first nine months of 2000 at an average price of $9.323
per share.

<PAGE>

COMPARISON OF THE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30,
2000 AND SEPTEMBER 30, 1999

NET INCOME

Net income  decreased  $91,000 during the quarter ended  September 30, 2000 when
compared to 1999. Net interest income decreased by $13,000,  non-interest income
increased  by  $8,000  and  non-interest  expense  increased  by  $121,000.  The
provision for income taxes decreased by $34,000.

INTEREST INCOME

Interest  income from loans  increased  $294,000 or 31.50% for the quarter ended
September  30,  2000.  The increase was the result of an increase in the average
balance of loans outstanding of $12.02 million and an increase in the yield from
7.92% to 8.30%.

The decrease of $29,000 in interest and  dividends on  securities  available for
sale was the result of a decrease in the average  balance of securities of $2.68
million,  which  more  than  offset  an  increase  in the  average  yield on the
portfolio from 6.33% to 6.54%. The increase in yield was primarily the result of
an increase in yield on  mortgage-backed  securities  with  adjustable  interest
rates held in the portfolio.

Interest  on  securities  held to  maturity  increased  $37,000  and was  caused
primarily by an increase in the average balance of the portfolio of $966,000 and
an increase in the yield on the portfolio  from 6.74% to 7.93%.  The increase in
yield was primarily the result of the purchase of securities with yields greater
than  the  yield  on  the  existing  portfolio  and  an  increase  in  yield  on
mortgage-backed securities with adjustable interest rates held in the portfolio.

The  decrease  in income  from  other  interest-earning  assets  of  $3,000  was
primarily  caused by a decrease in the average balance of these assets that more
than offset an increase in the yield on these  assets.  This  category of assets
consists primarily of interest-earning demand deposits held at FHLB.

INTEREST EXPENSE

Interest expense on deposits increased $171,000 during the third quarter of 2000
when compared to the third  quarter of 1999.  This increase was the result of an
increase in the average cost of deposits  from 4.33% to 5.10% and an increase of
$6.33 million in the average balance of deposits.

The Bank took advantage of a relatively  inexpensive source of funding available
through the FHLB to supplement  retail  deposits.  The average  balance of these
borrowings  was $4.85 million  greater  during the third quarter of 2000 than in
1999 and the average cost of the borrowings increased from 5.47% to 6.44%, which
resulted in an increase of $142,000 in interest expense.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

No provision  for loan losses was made during the quarter  ended  September  30,
2000. The allowance for loan losses is based on  Management's  evaluation of the
risk  inherent  in its loan  portfolio  after  giving due  consideration  to the
changes in general market  conditions and in the nature and volume of the Bank's
loan activity.  The Bank intends to continue to provide for loan losses based on
its periodic  review of the loan  portfolio and general market  conditions.  The
allowance for loan losses  amounted to $464,000 at  quarter-end.  While the Bank
maintains its allowance for loan losses at a level,  which it considers adequate
to  provide  for  potential  losses,  there can be no  assurances  that  further
additions  will not be made to the loss  allowance and that such losses will not
exceed the estimated amounts.

                                      -11-
<PAGE>
NON-INTEREST INCOME

Total  non-interest  income  increased by $8,000 during the  three-month  period
ended September 30, 2000 when compared to the same period of 1999.

The decrease in the gain on sale of loans of $6,000 was the result of a decrease
in the dollar amount of loans sold.

Service  charges on deposits  increased  $7,000 mainly because of an increase in
chargeable  events  and an  increase  in  November  of 1999 in the amount of the
Non-Sufficient Funds ("NSF") charge.

The  increase  in other  income of $7,000  was the result of  increases  in loan
servicing fees, Automated Teller Machine surcharges, and the sale of collectible
coins and credit life and disability insurance.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSE

Overall,  non-interest  expense  increased  $121,000  during the  quarter  ended
September 30, 2000.

Compensation and benefits  increased by $82,000 in 2000 and was primarily caused
by the  hiring  of  additional  personnel  to staff  the  Bank's  new  branch in
Cheyenne.

Occupancy and equipment  expense  increased by $30,000 during the period and was
primarily  caused by the increases in depreciation  and data processing  charges
related to the opening of the Bank's new branch in Cheyenne.

Other  expenses  increased  by $12,000  when  compared to the same period of the
previous year. The increase in expenses was mainly caused by increased marketing
expenses,  additional travel expenses and the purchase of miscellaneous supplies
in connection with the opening of the Bank's Cheyenne branch.

As previously  mentioned,  the Bank opened a third office in Cheyenne,  Wyoming.
The additional office is expected to enhance the long-term growth of the Company
but is expected to increase overhead expenses significantly for the near future.
As with any start-up, this office cannot be expected to produce a profit until a
deposit base sufficient to support the operation can be generated.

INCOME TAXES

The  provision  for income taxes  decreased by $34,000.  The main reason for the
decrease in income taxes was the decrease in income before taxes.


COMPARISON OF THE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED  SEPTEMBER 30,
2000 AND SEPTEMBER 30, 1999

NET INCOME

Net income  decreased  $262,000  during the nine months ended September 30, 2000
when compared to the first nine months of 1999. Net interest income increased by
$5,000,  non-interest  income  increased  by $16,000  and  non-interest  expense
increased by $407,000. The provision for income taxes decreased by $124,000.

                                      -12-
<PAGE>
INTEREST INCOME

Interest  income  from loans  increased  $630,000  or 23.34% for the nine months
ended  September  30,  2000.  The  increase was the result of an increase in the
average  balance of loans  outstanding of $9.77 million and an increase in yield
from 8.01% to 8.11%.

The decrease of $57,000 in interest and  dividends on  securities  available for
sale was the result of a decrease in the average  balance of securities of $3.06
million,  which  more  than  offset  an  increase  in the  average  yield on the
portfolio from 6.10% to 6.55%. The increase in yield was primarily the result of
an increase in yield on  mortgage-backed  securities  with  adjustable  interest
rates held in the portfolio.

Interest  on  securities  held to  maturity  increased  $156,000  and was caused
primarily  by an  increase  in the  average  balance of the  portfolio  of $2.18
million and an increase in the yield on the portfolio  from 7.15% to 7.86%.  The
increase in yield was primarily  the result of the purchase of  securities  with
yields greater than the yield on the existing portfolio and an increase in yield
on  mortgage-backed  securities  with  adjustable  interest  rates  held  in the
portfolio.

The  decrease  in income  from  other  interest-earning  assets of  $39,000  was
primarily  caused by a decrease in the average balance of these assets that more
than offset an increase in the yield on these  assets.  This  category of assets
consists primarily of interest-earning demand deposits held at FHLB.

INTEREST EXPENSE

Interest expense on deposits  increased $376,000 during the first nine months of
2000 when  compared to the same period of 1999.  This increase was the result of
an increase in the average cost of deposits  from 4.29% to 4.79% and an increase
of $5.61 million in the average balance of deposits.

The Bank took advantage of a relatively  inexpensive source of funding available
through the FHLB to supplement  retail  deposits.  The average  balance of these
borrowings  was $4.02 million  greater during the first nine months of 2000 than
in 1999 and the average cost of the  borrowings  increased  from 5.47% to 6.14%,
which resulted in an increase of $310,000 in interest expense.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

No  provision  for loan  losses was made  during  the  nine-month  period  ended
September  30,  2000.  The  allowance  for loan losses is based on  Management's
evaluation  of the  risk  inherent  in  its  loan  portfolio  after  giving  due
consideration to the changes in general market  conditions and in the nature and
volume of the Bank's loan activity.  The Bank intends to continue to provide for
loan  losses  based on its  periodic  review of the loan  portfolio  and general
market  conditions.  The  allowance  for loan  losses  amounted  to  $464,000 at
September 30, 2000.  While the Bank maintains its allowance for loan losses at a
level, which it considers adequate to provide for potential losses, there can be
no assurances that further  additions will not be made to the loss allowance and
that such losses will not exceed the estimated amounts.

NON-INTEREST INCOME

Total  non-interest  income  increased by $16,000 during the  nine-month  period
ended September 30, 2000 when compared to 1999.

The  decrease  in the gain on sale of  loans  of  $17,000  was the  result  of a
decrease in the dollar amount of loans sold.

                                      -13-
<PAGE>
The Bank sold available for sale  securities in the previous year and recognized
a gain of $4,000 while  securities  sold in the current year  produced a loss of
$6,000.

Service charges on deposits  increased  $23,000 mainly because of an increase in
chargeable events and an increase, in November of 1999, in the amount of the NSF
charge.

The  increase  in other  income of $20,000 was the result of  increases  in loan
servicing and document  preparation fees,  Automated Teller Machine  surcharges,
and the sale of collectible coins and credit life and disability insurance.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSE

Overall,  non-interest  expense increased  $407,000 during the nine-month period
ended September 30, 2000.

Compensation and benefits increased by $271,000 in 2000 and was primarily caused
by the hiring of additional personnel to staff the Bank's new branch in Cheyenne
and to enable the Bank to originate commercial and agricultural loans.

Occupancy and equipment  expense  increased by $59,000 during the period and was
primarily  caused by the increases in  depreciation,  data  processing  charges,
utilities and taxes related to the opening of the Bank's new branch in Cheyenne.

Other  expenses  increased  by $89,000  when  compared to the same period of the
previous year. The increase in expenses was mainly caused by increased marketing
expenses,  additional travel expenses and the purchase of miscellaneous supplies
in connection with the opening of the Bank's Cheyenne branch.

As previously  mentioned,  the Bank opened a third office in Cheyenne,  Wyoming.
The additional office is expected to enhance the long-term growth of the Company
but is expected to increase overhead expenses significantly for the near future.
As with any start-up, this office cannot be expected to produce a profit until a
deposit base sufficient to support the operation can be generated.

INCOME TAXES

The  provision for income taxes  decreased by $124,000.  The main reason for the
decrease in income taxes was the decrease in income before taxes of $386,000.


YEAR 2000

Like many financial  institutions,  we rely on computers to conduct our business
and  information  systems  processing.  Industry  experts were concerned that on
January 1, 2000,  some  computers  might not be able to  interpret  the new year
properly,  causing computer  malfunctions.  Some banking industry experts remain
concerned that some computers may not be able to property  interpret  additional
dates in the year 2000. We have  operated and  evaluated our computer  operating
systems since January 1, 2000 and have not  identified any errors or experienced
any computer  system  malfunctions.  We will continue to monitor our information
systems to assess whether they are at risk of  misinterpreting  any future dates
and will develop  appropriate  contingency plans to prevent any potential system
malfunction or correct any system failures. The Company has not been informed of
any such problem experienced by its vendors or its customers,  nor by any of the
municipal agencies that provide services to the Company.

                                      -14-
<PAGE>
Nevertheless,  it is too soon to  conclude  that there will not be any  problems
arising  from the  Year  2000  problem,  particularly  at some of the  Company's
vendors.  The Company will continue to monitor its significant  vendors of goods
and services  with  respect to Year 2000  problems  they may  encounter as those
issues may effect the Company's  financial  position,  results of operations and
cash  flows.  The  Company  does not  believe at this time that these  potential
problems  will  materially  impact the ability of the  Company to  continue  its
operations, however, no assurance can be given that this will be the case.

The  expectations  of the  Company  contained  in this  section on Year 2000 are
forward-looking   statements  within  the  meaning  of  the  Private  Securities
Litigation  Reform Act of 1995 and involve  substantial  risks and uncertainties
that may cause actual results to differ  materially  from those indicated by the
forward-looking  statements.  All forward-looking statements in this section are
based on information available to the Company on the date of this document,  and
the Company assumes no obligation to update such forward-looking statements.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Bank's primary sources of funds are deposits,  amortization  and prepayments
of loans and mortgage-backed  securities, FHLB advances, sales and maturities of
investments   and  funds  provided  from   operations.   While   scheduled  loan
amortization  and maturing  investment  securities are a relatively  predictable
source of funds,  deposit flow and loan  prepayments  are greatly  influenced by
market interest rates, economic conditions and competition. The Bank manages the
pricing of its deposits to maintain a steady deposit balance.  In addition,  the
Bank invests its excess funds in short-term time deposits that provide liquidity
to meet lending  requirements.  Interest-bearing  deposits at September 30, 2000
amounted  to  $362,774.  The  Bank's  liquidity,  represented  by cash  and cash
equivalents, is a product of its operating,  investing and financing activities.
These activities are summarized as follows:

                                                   9 Months Ended September

Liquidity  management  is  both a  daily  and  long-term  function  of  business
management.  Excess  liquidity is generally  invested in short-term  investments
such as Federal funds and interest-bearing  deposits. If the Bank requires funds
beyond its ability to generate them internally,  borrowing agreements exist with
the FHLB, which provides an additional source of funds.

The Bank anticipates it will have sufficient funds available to meet its current
loan commitments. At September 30, 2000, the Bank had outstanding commitments of
$1,839,789.  Certificates of deposit  scheduled to mature in one year or less at
September 30, 2000 totaled  $31,999,163.  Based on past  experience,  Management
believes that a substantial portion of such deposits will remain with the Bank.

IMPACT OF INFLATION AND CHANGING PRICES

The  consolidated  financial  statements  of  the  Company  and  notes  thereto,
presented  elsewhere  herein,  have been prepared in accordance  with  generally
accepted  accounting  principles  ("GAAP"),  which  require the  measurement  of
financial  position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without
considering the change in the relative  purchasing  power of money over time due
to inflation.  The impact of inflation is reflected in the increased cost of the
Company's operations.  Unlike most industrial  companies,  nearly all the assets
and liabilities of the Company are financial. As a result, interest rates have a
greater  impact on the  Company's  performance  than do the  effects  of general
levels  of  inflation.  Interest  rates  do not  necessarily  move  in the  same
direction or to the same extent as the prices of goods and services.
