Item 1.  Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

                       INTERCOUNTY BANCSHARES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q.
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, the unaudited consolidated
financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring
accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of financial position,
results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods.

The financial information presented on pages 1 through 9 of this Form 10-Q
has been subject to a review by J.D. Cloud & Co. L.L.P., the Company's
independent certified public accountants, as described in their report on
page 10.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Results of operations and cash flows for the nine month period ended
September 30, 2000, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
expected for the full year to end December 31, 2000.  These unaudited

EFFECT OF RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities."  SFAS No. 133 establishes standards for
derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in
other contracts, and for hedging activities.  It requires an entity to
recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the statement of
financial position and measure those instruments at fair value.  SFAS No.
137, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - Deferral
of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133" established the effective
date for the new standard as fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000.

Item 1.  Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, continued

Currently, the Company does not hold any derivatives or conduct hedging
activities as defined by the standard.  In most instances the standard, once
adopted, precludes any held-to-maturity security from being designated as a
hedged item.  If the Company had adopted SFAS No. 133 in the first three
quarters of 2000, the impact would have been limited to transfers, if any, of
securities from the held-to-maturity classification to available for sale.
The Company is evaluating when to adopt SFAS No. 133 and the desirability of
potential investment security reclassifications.

Item 1.  Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, continued

Loans on which the accrual of interest had been discontinued amounted to
$2,771,000 at September 30, 2000 and $955,000 at December 31, 1999.

As of September 30, 2000 the $2,771,000 in non-accrual loans consisted of
twenty-two relationships, seventeen of which are collateralized with
mortgages on real estate.  Two of the relationships have partial Farm
Service Agency and US Department of Agriculture government guarantees, a
titled unit collateralizes one, and the remaining are collateralized with
general chattel filings on machinery, equipment, inventory and fixtures.
Management expects all loans to be resolved through term payments or through
liquidation of collateral in the normal course of business. Management
anticipates a loss in the year 2000 from all but one loan is $246,000.  The
remaining account is a $1,300,000 loan to Bush Leasing, Inc., a company whose
primary owner is George F. Bush, a former director of the company.  The
servicing of this account has been outsourced and management is unable to
determine the potential loss on this account until the customer receivables
have been accurately recorded.

Projected losses are based on currently available information and actual
losses may differ significantly from those discussed above. In addition,
management has identified three other potential problem loans which are
not included in the non-performing categories at September 30, 2000.
Two of these loans total $766,000.  These loans are defined as loans about
which management, through normal credit review procedures, has developed
information regarding possible credit problems that could cause the
borrowers future difficulties in complying with present loan repayment
terms.  In addition, the third identified problem loan results from
management becoming aware of business problems being experienced by a
longstanding Bank customer.  The customer has outstanding loan balances with
the Bank of approximately $6.1 million, $4.3 million of which has an 80%
guarantee by a U.S. Government agency.  Several meetings have taken place
with the customer with the intent of restructuring a portion of the debt.
Due to the early stages of this situation, a loss, if any, to the Bank cannot
be determined.

EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTIONS
The Company applies APB No. 25 in accounting for its stock option plans.
Had compensation expense for the Company's stock options granted after
1996 been recognized under the methodology prescribed in SFAS No. 123,
the Company's net income and earnings per share would have been impacted

                 INDEPENDENT  ACCOUNTANTS'  REVIEW  REPORT



To the Shareholders and Board of Directors
InterCounty Bancshares, Inc.


We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of InterCounty
Bancshares, Inc. and subsidiaries as of September 30, 2000 and 1999, the
related consolidated statements of income for each of the three-month and
nine-month periods ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, and the related
consolidated statements of comprehensive income and changes in shareholders'
equity, and cash flows for each of the nine-month periods ended September 30,
2000 and 1999.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management.

We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.  A review of interim
financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures
to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial
and accounting matters.  It is substantially less in scope than an audit
conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the
objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial
statements taken as a whole.  Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that
should be made to the accompanying consolidated interim financial statements
for them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

We previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1999 (presented
herein), and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive
income and changes in shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the year then
ended (not presented herein), and in our report dated February 10, 2000, we
expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.
In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated
balance sheet as of December 31, 1999, is fairly stated in all material
respects.

                INTERCOUNTY BANCSHARES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain matters disclosed herein may be deemed to be forward-looking
statements that involve risks and uncertainties, including regulatory policy
changes, interest rate fluctuations, loan demand, loan delinquencies and
losses, and other risks.  Actual strategies and results in future time
periods may differ materially from those currently expected.  Such forward-
looking statements represent the Company's judgment as of the current date.
The Company disclaims, however, any intent or obligation to update such
forward-looking statements.  See Exhibit 99 attached hereto, which is
incorporated herein by reference.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
During the third quarter of 2000 InterCounty Bancshares, Inc. recorded a net
loss of $132,000, compared to net income of $1,380,000 earned during the
third quarter of 1999.  Net loss per share was $.04 for the quarter, compared
to $.44 net income per share for the same quarter last year.

In the last few days of the month of September 2000, the Company restructured
a portion of its securities portfolio and increased its provision for loan
losses.  Both of these items had a significant negative impact on Company
third quarter net income and year 2000 net income.

The restructuring of the securities portfolio involved the sale of $38.0
million of long-term fixed-rate securities with a weighted average life of
7.3 years and a weighted average yield of 6.27%, resulting in an after-tax
loss of $1.37 million.  A portion of the proceeds of the sale, $33.2 million,
was reinvested in similar securities with a weighted average life of 5.3
years and a weighted average yield of 7.33%.  Another $10 million was used to
purchase Bank Owned Life Insurance (BOLI) with a cash surrender value that
increases during the first year at a tax-equivalent yield of 9.97% and
increases during future years at an adjustable rate.

The restructuring is expected to increase pre-tax income by $542,000 in 2001
and continue to increase earnings in future years.  Another important result
of the restructuring was to reduce the interest rate risk of The National
Bank and Trust Company (Bank), the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, by
shortening the weighted average maturity of the Bank's assets and reducing
the fixed rate assets with maturities over five years as a percentage of
total assets from 31.8% on June 30, 2000 to 25.5% on September 30, 2000.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
        and Results of Operations  (continued)

Additionally, the Bank has become aware of business problems being
experienced by a longstanding Bank customer.  The customer has outstanding
loan balances with the Bank of approximately $6.1 million, $4.3 million of
which has an 80% guarantee by a U.S. Government agency.  Repayment of the
portion of the $4.3 million loan that is not guaranteed and the other $1.8
million loan is uncertain.  Although interest payments on the loans are
current, the Bank does not anticipate collecting all amounts due under the
contractual terms of the loan agreements.  The Bank has recorded a $725,000
provision for loan losses in the third quarter, a portion of which has been
recorded in anticipation of potential losses on these loans.  Due to the
early stage of this situation, the ultimate loss to the Bank, if any, cannot
be determined.

Net interest income decreased 3.6% from the third quarter of 1999 due to
rising interest rates.  Excluding security losses, non-interest income
increased 3.4% due to increases in service charge income and trust income.
Partially offsetting the negative effects of the securities loss and the
additional provision for loan loss, certain performance related officer bonus
expense and retirement plan expense was reduced in the third quarter by
$350,000.

Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, was $2,719,000,
compared to the $4,062,000 earned during the first nine months of 1999.  Net
income per share was $.85 through September 30, 2000, compared to $1.29 per
share for the same period last year.

The third quarter of 2000 showed a decrease in net interest income of 3.6%
compared to the same quarter last year.  Average loans increased 11.1% and
average securities decreased 2.7% when compared to the same period last year,
which resulted in an increase of 6.8% in average interest-earning assets.
Loan growth was concentrated in the average amount of small business loans,
up 12.3%, and the average amount of real estate loans, up 18.7%.  This change
in the mix of the balance sheet increased the tax equivalent yield on
interest-earning assets from 7.76% in the third quarter of 1999 to 8.13% in
the third quarter of 2000.  Average interest-bearing liabilities increased
7.8% and their cost increased from 4.31% to 5.08% when compared to the third
quarter of 1999.  Most of the growth in average interest-bearing liabilities
was in retail certificates of deposit, a $21.1 million increase, and
additional short-term borrowing, an increase of $8.3 million, to fund loan
growth.  Tax equivalent net interest margin decreased from 3.94% to 3.59%
during these same periods.

Net interest income for the first nine months of 2000 increased 3.0% from the
same period last year.  Average interest-earning assets increased 4.6% from
last year, and the tax equivalent yield increased from 7.69% to 8.07%.
Interest-bearing liabilities increased 5.3%, while the cost increased
from 4.38% to 4.82%.  Tax equivalent net interest margin has averaged 3.78%
in 2000 versus 3.82% in 1999.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
        and Results of Operations  (continued)

The provision for loan losses was increased to $725,000 for the third quarter
of 2000, compared to $350,000 for the same period in 1999.  Net charge-offs
for the third quarter of 2000 were .06% of average loans, compared to .03%
for the prior year.  The provision for loan losses year-to-date 2000 was
$1,575,000, compared to $1,050,000 for the same period in 1999.  Net charge-
offs year-to-date 2000 were .22% of average loans, compared to .19% for the
prior year.

The allowance is an amount that management believes will be adequate to
absorb potential losses on existing loans that may become uncollectible.
This evaluation is based on prior loan loss experience and such factors as
changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio
quality, review of specific problem loans, and current economic conditions
that may affect the borrowers' ability to pay.

Non-interest income, excluding securities losses, was $1.48 million for the
third quarter of 2000, an increase of 3.4% from the $1.44 million earned in
the third quarter of 1999.  Trust income increased 6.3%, and deposit service
charges were up 19.0%.  For the first nine months of 2000 non-interest income
was up 7.1% from the same period in 1999.

Non-interest expense decreased 3.6% for the quarter over the same period in
1999.  Salaries and benefits decreased 13.2% for the quarter due to the
adjustments to officer bonus and retirement plan expenses mentioned
above.  Equipment expense increased 6.1% from last year due to the continued
upgrade of our computer network. Occupancy expense increased 3.8% for the
quarter.  Other expense has increased 6.8% from the third quarter of last
year.  For the first nine months of the year total non-interest expense was
up 4.3% from the same period last year.

The Company's effective tax rate decreased to 14.4% for the first nine months
of 2000 from 21.6% for the same period of 1999, primarily due to the
increases in tax-free municipal bonds in the securities portfolio.

Performance ratios for the first nine months of 2000 included a return on
assets of 0.66%, and a return on equity of 8.04%, compared to 1.04% return on
assets and 12.02% return on equity for the same period of 1999.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
        and Results of Operations  (continued)

Total assets have increased 5% during 2000, and 8.1% from September 30, 1999,
to a total of $570.9 million.  The balance sheet mix has changed somewhat.
The loan portfolio grew $23.2 million since year-end, and 10.1% from
September 30, 1999, to $374.2 million, most of the increase being in small
business and real estate loans.  Year to date average commercial loans grew
$16.1 million (12.1%), and average real estate loans grew $18.5 million
(21.0%) from the averages for the first nine months of 1999.  These areas
continue to provide the majority of increase in the portfolio.  The growth
was funded through a $13.5 million decrease in the securities portfolio and a
$24.8 million increase in deposits.  The securities portfolio has decreased
because of maturities, sales, and calls of U.S. Agency callable bonds, and
prepayments of mortgage-backed securities.  The securities portfolio average
has decreased $16.8 million (10.1%) from the first nine months of last year.

Average interest-bearing liabilities grew $23.1 million (5.3%) comparing the
first nine months of 2000 to the first nine months of 1999.  Deposit growth
has occurred in both large and small certificates, with a decrease in
interest-bearing transaction accounts and demand deposits.  Total deposits
increased 5.5% to $404.8 million from September 30, 1999.  Average non-
interest bearing deposits decreased 2.0% from the average for the first nine
months of last year.    Average interest-bearing transaction accounts
increased $1.8 million (1.7%), and average small certificates increased $12.3
million (8.3%) comparing the same nine month periods.

Short-term borrowing has been reduced as a result of an additional $5 million
in long-term borrowing.  At September 30, 2000 and 1999, the Company had
outstanding $86.0 million and $81.0 million, respectively, of total
borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB).  Of the borrowings at
September 30, 2000, $6.0 million have a one-year maturity and adjust daily at
the prime rate.  In January 2000, a $30 million fixed-rate note that matures
in 2002 was converted to a variable-rate note that adjusts quarterly at the
three-month LIBOR rate.  At the option of the Company, this note can be
prepaid in full or in part on the interest rate adjustment date.  The
additional $5.0 million in long-term borrowing was a FHLB fixed-rate note
maturing in 2010. At the option of the FHLB, beginning in March 2001, this
note can be converted to a variable-rate instrument that adjusts quarterly at
the three-month LIBOR rate if that rate equals or exceeds 8.00%.  Average
total equity decreased 1.5% to $45.2 million from the first nine months of
last year.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
        and Results of Operations  (continued)

Book value per share was $14.72 at September 30, 2000 compared to $13.78 at
September 30, 1999.  Equity to assets was 8.26%, compared to 8.28% at the end
of the third quarter last year.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Effective liquidity management ensures that the cash flow requirements of
depositors and borrowers, as well as Company cash needs, are met.  The
Company manages liquidity on both the asset and liability sides of the
balance sheet.  The loan to deposit ratio at September 30, 2000, was 92.4%,
compared to 88.7% at the same date in 1999.  The increase in this ratio
reflects the challenge of attracting deposits while maintaining positive loan
growth.   Loans to total assets were 65.5% at the end of the third quarter of
2000, compared to 64.4% at the same time last year.  Management strives to
keep this ratio below 70%.  The securities portfolio is 69% "available for
sale" securities that are readily marketable.  Approximately 89% of the
"available for sale" portfolio is pledged to secure public deposits, short-
term and long-term borrowings and for other purposes as required by law.  The
balance of the "available for sale" securities could be sold if necessary for
liquidity purposes.  Also, a stable deposit base, consisting of 89% core
deposits, makes the Company less susceptible to large fluctuations in funding
needs.  The Company has short-term borrowing lines of credit with several
correspondent banks.  The Company also has both short- and long-term
borrowing available through the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB).  The Company
has also begun to explore deposit opportunities in the brokered certificate
of deposit market to help provide liquidity to fund loan growth.

The Federal Reserve Board has adopted risk-based capital guidelines that
assign risk weightings to assets and off-balance sheet items and also define
and set minimum capital requirements (risk-based capital ratios).  Bank
holding companies must maintain total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based and Tier
1 leverage ratios of 8%, 4% and 3%, respectively.  At September 30, 2000,
InterCounty had a total risk-based capital ratio of 13.75%, a Tier 1 risk-
based capital ratio of 12.70%, and a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 8.48%.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks

Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in the fair
value of financial instruments due to interest rate risk, exchange rate risk,
equity price risk and commodity price risk.  The Company does not maintain a
trading account for any class of financial instrument, and is not currently
subject to foreign currency exchange rate risk, equity price risk or
commodity price risk.  The Company's market risk is composed primarily of
interest rate risk.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks
         (continued)

Techniques used to measure interest rate risk include both interest rate gap
management and simulation modeling that measures the effect of rate changes
on net interest income and market value of equity under different rate
scenarios.  The securities portfolio restructure mentioned above resulted in
a significant reduction in interest rate risk.  The weighted average maturity
of the portion of the securities portfolio that was sold was reduced by two
years from 7.3 years to 5.3 years.  As a result the cumulative gap as a
percent of total assets through one year improved from negative 16.8% at
December 31, 1999 to negative 10.6% at September 30, 2000.  Also, the Market
Value of Equity change from stable rates under an instantaneous parallel 300
basis point increase in interest rates was reduced from a negative 39.7% at
December 31, 1999, to a negative 35.8%, along with a 46% reduction in the
price sensitivity of that portion of the portfolio under the same rate
scenario.
