        Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)


1.      General. In the opinion of the management of Pointe Financial
        Corporation, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial
        statements contain all adjustments (consisting principally of normal
        recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position
        at September 30, 1998, the results of operations for the three- and
        nine-month periods ended September 30, 1998 and 1997 and cash flows for
        the nine-month periods ended September 30, 1998 and 1997. The results of
        operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1998 are
        not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire
        year.

        Pointe Financial Corporation (the "Holding Company") was formed in
        September 1993 and received approval from the appropriate authorities to
        become both a savings and loan holding company and a bank holding
        company. Prior to April 14, 1997, the Holding Company owned 100% of
        Pointe Federal Savings Bank ("Pointe Federal"), a federally-chartered
        thrift, Pointe Bank (the "Bank"), a state-chartered commercial bank and
        Pointe Financial Services, Inc., (collectively the "Company"). On April
        14, 1997, Pointe Federal was merged into the Bank. The Bank provides a
        wide range of community banking services to small and middle-market
        businesses and individuals through its three banking offices located in
        Broward, Miami-Dade and Palm Beach counties, Florida. Pointe Financial
        Services, Inc. is an inactive subsidiary.

        The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the
        Holding Company and its subsidiaries. The Holding Company's primary
        business activity is the ownership of the Bank. All significant
        intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in
        consolidation.

2.      Loan Impairment and Loan Losses. The activity in the allowance for loan
        losses is as follows (in thousands):

3.       Earnings Per Share. Earnings per share of common stock has been
         computed on the basis of the weighted-average number of shares of
         common stock outstanding. For purposes of calculating diluted earnings
         per share, because there was no active trading market until June 18,
         1998, for the Company's common stock, the average book value per share
         was used through that date. For the period June 18, 1998 to September
         30, 1998, average quoted market prices were used. For the three and
         nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997 outstanding stock options
         are considered dilutive securities for purposes of calculating diluted
         earnings per share. The following table presents the calculations of
         earnings per share ($ in thousands, except per share amounts).

5.      Other Events. The Bank entered into a loan agreement with First
        American Railways, Inc. (the "Borrower") in March 1997, which provided
        for a $1 million line of credit for the purpose of funding start-up
        expenses of the Florida Fun Train. In late September 1998, having
        failed to raise additional capital, the Borrower suspended operations
        and in early October filed for liquidation under Chapter 7 of the
        Bankruptcy Code. At September 30, 1998 the balance outstanding on this
        loan was approximately $880,000. The Bank's management has written down
        the balance of this loan by 50% through the Bank's loan loss reserve
        and classified the remaining $440,000 balance as doubtful. The Bank
        made an additional provision for loan losses of $540,000, largely to
        accommodate this charge. The Company's provision for loan losses during
        the quarter ended September 30, 1998 was $630,000. The additional loan
        loss provision of $540,000 will impact the third quarter basic earnings
        by $.15 per share and has resulted in the Company reporting basic
        earnings of $.05 per share for the period.

        During the quarter ended September 30, 1998, the Bank sold $1.2 million
        of securities from the held to maturity category. As required by
        Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115- Accounting for
        Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, all the remaining
        securities classified as held to maturity totaling $8.4 million were
        transferred to the available for sale category. Furthermore, the Bank's
        management intends to classify all securities purchased from July 1,
        1998 to July 1, 2000 as either available for sale or trading.

6.      Branch Acquisition. During October 1998, the Company signed a contract
        to purchase a branch facility in Boca Raton, Florida. The branch is
        expected to be open in the first quarter of 1999.

7.      Impact of New Accounting Standard. On January 1, 1998, the Company
        adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 130 - Reporting
        Comprehensive Income ("SFAS No. 130") which establishes standards for
        reporting comprehensive income. The Standard defines comprehensive
        income as the change in equity of an enterprise except those resulting
        from stockholder transactions. All components of comprehensive income
        are required to be reported in a new financial statement that is
        displayed with equal prominence as existing financial statements. The
        adoption of SFAS No. 130 had no significant effect on the Company's
        financial position at September 30, 1998 or results of operations for
        the three and nine months then ended.

8.      Future Accounting Requirements. Statement of Financial Accounting
        Standards No. 133 - Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
        Activities establishes accounting and reporting standards for
        derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments
        embedded in other contracts and for hedging activities. It requires
        that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or
        liabilities in the balance sheet and measure those instruments at fair
        value. The Company will be required to adopt this Statement January 1,
        2000. Management does not anticipate that this Statement will have a
        material impact on the Company.

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

             Comparison of September 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997


Liquidity and Capital Resources

    The Company's primary source of cash during the nine months ended September
    30, 1998 was from proceeds from the issuance of common stock totaling $12.2
    million, net deposit inflows of $9.3 million, net increase in Federal Home
    Loan Bank advances of $10.6 million and proceeds from the sale of securities
    of $24.8 million. Cash was used primarily for net loan originations of $18.5
    million and the purchase of securities totaling $47.1 million. At September
    30, 1998, the Company had outstanding commitments to originate loans of
    $14.5 million. It is expected that these requirements will be funded from
    the sources described above. At September 30, 1998, the Bank exceeded its
    regulatory liquidity requirements.

        Comparison of the Three Months Ended September 30, 1998 and 1997


Results of Operations:

   General. Net earnings for the three months ended September 30, 1998 were
      $107,000 or $.05 basic and diluted earnings per share compared to net
      earnings of $229,000 or $.17 basic earnings per share ($.15 diluted
      earnings per share) for the three months ended September 30, 1997. The
      reduction in earnings per share during 1998 is primarily attributable to
      the issuance of 869,565 shares of common stock in June. This decrease in
      the Company's net earnings was primarily due to an increase in the
      provision for loan losses and noninterest expenses, partially offset by an
      increase in noninterest income and net interest income.

   Interest Income and Expense. Interest income increased by $486,000 from $2.9
      million for the three months ended September 30, 1997 to $3.4 million for
      the three months ended September 30, 1998. Interest income on loans
      increased $240,000 primarily due to an increase in the average loan
      portfolio balance from $104.8 million for the three months ended September
      30, 1997 to $118.4 million for the comparable period in 1998, partially
      offset by a decrease in the average yield from 9.06% in 1997 to 8.83% in
      1998. Interest on securities increased $233,000 primarily due to an
      increase in the average securities portfolio balance from $34.5 million in
      1997 to $53.9 million in 1998 partially offset by a decrease in the
      weighted average yield of 52 basis points.

      Interest expense on deposits increased to $1.5 million for the three
      months ended September 30, 1998 from $1.4 million for the three months
      ended September 30, 1997. Interest expense on deposits increased due to an
      increase in the average balance from $107.1 million in 1997 to $119.1
      million in 1998 partially offset by a slight decrease in the average rate
      paid on deposits.

      Interest expense on borrowings decreased $8,000 to $211,000 for the three
      months ended September 30, 1998 from $219,000 for the three months ended
      September 30, 1997. Interest expense on borrowings decreased due to a
      decrease in the weighted-average rate paid for the three months ended
      September 30, 1998 compared to the same period in 1997, partially offset
      by an increase in the average balance of borrowings over the same period.

   Provision for Loan Losses. The provision for loan losses is charged to
      earnings to bring the total allowance to a level deemed appropriate by
      management and is based upon historical experience, the volume and type of
      lending conducted by the Company, industry standards, the amount of
      nonperforming loans, general economic conditions, particularly as they
      relate to the Company's market areas, and other factors related to the
      collectibility of the Company's loan portfolio. The provision was $630,000
      for the three months ended September 30, 1998 compared to $17,000 for the
      comparable period in 1997. This increase was due to an increase in net
      charge-offs from $2,000 in 1997 compared to $452,000 over the same period
      in 1998. The increase in net charge-offs in 1998 relate to one loan of
      which $440,000 was charged-off. Management believes the balance in the
      allowance for loan losses of $1.2 million at September 30, 1998 is
      adequate.

   Noninterest Income. Noninterest income increased $131,000 primarily due to an
      increase of $155,000 in net realized gains on sale of securities partially
      offset by a decrease of $81,000 in net gains from sale of loans and loan
      servicing rights for the three months ended September 30, 1998 when
      compared to the same period in 1997.

   Noninterest Expenses. Noninterest expenses increased $79,000 over the three
      month period from the previous year, primarily due to an increase in
      salary and employee benefits.

   Provision for Income Taxes. The income tax provision for the three months
      ended September 30, 1998 was $65,000 (an effective rate of 37.8%) compared
      to $133,000 (an effective rate of 36.7%) for the comparable 1997 period.

         Comparison of the Nine Months Ended September 30, 1998 and 1997


Results of Operations:

   General. Net earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 were
      $720,000 or $.41 basic earnings per share ($.40 diluted earnings per
      share) compared to net earnings of $646,000 or $.48 basic earnings per
      share ($.44 diluted earnings per share) for the nine months ended
      September 30, 1997. The reduction in earnings per share during 1998 is
      primarily attributable to the issuance of 869,565 shares of common stock
      in June. This increase in the Company's net earnings was primarily due to
      an increase in net interest income and noninterest income, partially
      offset by an increase in the provision for loan losses and noninterest
      expenses.

   Interest Income and Expense. Interest income increased by $840,000 from $8.9
      million for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 to $9.7 million for
      the nine months ended September 30, 1998. Interest income on loans
      increased $875,000 primarily due to an increase in the average loan
      portfolio balance of $14.4 million from $99.8 million for the nine months
      ended September 30, 1997 to $114.2 million for the comparable period in
      1998. Interest on securities decreased $27,000 primarily due to a decrease
      in the weighted average rate earned, partially offset by an increase in
      the average securities portfolio balance during the nine months ended
      September 30, 1998 when compared to the comparable period in 1997.

      Interest expense on deposits increased $467,000 from $3.9 million for the
      nine months ended September 30, 1997 to $4.4 million for the nine months
      ended September 30, 1998. Interest expense on deposits increased due to an
      increase in the average balance, from $105.4 million in 1997 to $117.3
      million in 1998 and an increase in the weighted average rate paid from
      4.93% in 1997 to 4.96% in 1998.

      Interest expense on borrowings decreased $377,000 to $481,000 for the nine
      months ended September 30, 1998 from $858,000 for the nine months ended
      September 30, 1997. Interest expense on borrowings decreased due to a
      decrease in the average balance and weighted-average rate paid for the
      nine months ended September 30, 1998 compared to the same period in 1997.

   Provision for Loan Losses. The provision for loan losses is charged to
      earnings to bring the total allowance to a level deemed appropriate by
      management and is based upon historical experience, the volume and type of
      lending conducted by the Company, industry standards, the amount of
      nonperforming loans, general economic conditions, particularly as they
      relate to the Company's market areas, and other factors related to the
      collectibility of the Company's loan portfolio. The provision increased
      from $28,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 to $795,000 for
      the nine months ended September 30, 1998. The increase was due to net
      charge-offs of $482,000 in 1998 compared to net recoveries of $44,000 over
      the same period in 1997. The increase in net charge-offs in 1998 relate to
      one loan of which $440,000 was charged-off. Management believes the
      balance in the allowance for loan losses of $1.2 million at September 30,
      1998 is adequate.

   Noninterest Income. Noninterest income increased $198,000 primarily due to
      increases of $176,000 in service charges on deposit accounts and $135,000
      on net realized gains on sales of securities partially offset by a
      decrease of $193,000 in net gains from sale of loans and loan servicing
      rights during the nine months ended September 30, 1998 when compared to
      the comparable period in 1997.

   Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense increased $76,000 for the nine
      months ended September 30, 1998 compared to the same period in 1997
      primarily due to an increase of $121,000 in salaries and employee
      benefits. This increase was partially offset by decreases in data
      processing of $88,000 and occupancy expense of $57,000 which were
      attributed to efficiencies realized from operational changes.

   Provision for Income Taxes. The income tax provision for the nine months
      ended September 30, 1998 was $416,000 (an effective rate of 36.6%)
      compared to $385,000 (an effective rate of 37.3%) for the comparable 1997
      period.

                  POINTE FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

                                Year 2000 Issues



Management of the Company is acutely aware of the Year 2000 problem and has an
ongoing program designed to ensure that its operational and financial systems,
and those of its commercial bank subsidiary, will not be adversely affected by
Year 2000 software failures, due to processing errors arising from calculations
using the Year 2000 date. The Bank's Data Processing Steering Committee has been
assigned the Year 2000 compliance topic. The committee meets monthly to assess
the extent to which the Bank and its outside vendors may be adversely affected
by the Year 2000 problem. The Committee has prepared and is responsible for
monitoring the Vendor Status Report which identifies the vendors and equipment
that have been determined to be Year 2000 sensitive. As of September 30, 1998,
the Bank had received written assurances from all of the materially significant
companies listed on the Vendor Status Report indicating that their systems are
Year 2000 compliant.

The most significant vendor to the Bank, which provides the software support for
the in-house system, Information Technology, Inc., has completed their testing
process. The Bank has and will continue to participate in the testing and
verification of Year 2000 related changes made by that vendor.

Based on current estimates, the Bank does not expect to incur a material amount
of expenses over the next two years on its program to redevelop, replace or
repair its computer applications to make them "Year 2000 compliant." It is
recognized that any Year 2000 compliance failures could result in additional
expense to the Bank.

While management is diligently working to assure Year 2000 compliance,
compliance by the Bank is largely dependent upon compliance by vendors,
primarily in the area of on-line data processing. Management is requiring its
computer system and software vendors to represent that the products are, or will
be, Year 2000 compliant, and has planned a program for testing for compliance.

Although management believes that the Bank's system will be Year 2000 compliant,
a written contingency plan has been developed to address problems that might be
caused from Year 2000 system failures.
