                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(In thousands, except share and per share data)

         (1)      Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

                  Valley Financial Corporation (the "Company") was incorporated
                  under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia on March 15,
                  1994, primarily to serve as a holding company for Valley Bank
                  (the "Bank"), which opened for business on May 15, 1995. The
                  Company's fiscal year end is December 31.

                  The consolidated financial statements of the Company conform
                  to generally accepted accounting principles and to general
                  banking industry practices. The interim period consolidated
                  financial statements are unaudited; however, in the opinion of
                  management, all adjustments of a normal recurring nature which
                  are necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated
                  financial statements herein have been included. The
                  consolidated financial statements herein should be read in
                  conjunction with the Company's 1999 Annual Report on Form
                  10-KSB.

                  The Company reports its activities as a single business
                  segment. In determining the appropriateness of segment
                  definition, the Company considers components of the business
                  about which financial information is available and regularly
                  evaluated relative to resource allocation and performance
                  assessment.

         (2)      Cash and Cash Equivalents

                  For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash
                  equivalents include cash and due from banks.

         (3)      Securities

                  The carrying values, unrealized gains, unrealized losses and
                  approximate fair values of investment securities at March 31,
                  2000 are shown in the table below. The entire investment
                  portfolio is classified as available-for-sale in order to
                  provide maximum liquidity for funding needs. As of March 31,
                  2000, investments with amortized costs and fair values of
                  $14,146 and $13,535, respectively, were pledged as collateral
                  for public deposits, a line of credit available from the
                  Federal Home Loan Bank, customer sweep accounts, and for other
                  purposes as required or permitted by law.

          (6)      Comprehensive Income

                  On January 1, 1998, The Company adopted Statement of Financial
                  Accounting Standards No. 130, REPORTING COMPREHENSIVE INCOME.
                  This Statement establishes standards for reporting and
                  presentation of comprehensive income and its components in a
                  full set of general purpose financial statements. This
                  Statement was issued to address concerns over the practice of
                  reporting elements of comprehensive income directly in equity.

                  The Company is required to classify items of "Other
                  Comprehensive Income" (such as net unrealized gains (losses)
                  on securities available for sale) by their nature in a
                  financial statement. It does not require a specific format for
                  that financial statement but requires the Company to display
                  an amount representing comprehensive income for the period in
                  that financial statement. The Company is required to present
                  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 position. It does not require per share amounts of
                  comprehensive income to be disclosed.

                  The adoption of Statement 130 on January 1, 1998 did not have
                  any effect on the consolidated financial position, results of
                  operations or liquidity of the Company. However, Statement 130
                  does have an effect on financial statement displays presented
                  by the Company since the Company has net unrealized gains
                  (losses) on available-for-sale securities, an item of other
                  comprehensive income. For the three months ended March 31,
                  2000 and 1999, total comprehensive income was $313 and $91,
                  respectively.

                  The information that follows discloses the income taxes
                  related to securities available-for-sale that are included in
                  other comprehensive loss, net of income taxes for the three
                  month periods ended March 31, 2000 and 1999.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (000'S OMITTED, EXCEPT FOR SHARE
AND PER SHARE INFORMATION).

The following is management's discussion and analysis of the financial condition
and results of operations of the Company as of and for the three months ended
March 31, 2000 and 1999. The discussion should be read in conjunction with the
Company's Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto.

OVERVIEW

The Company was incorporated as a Virginia stock corporation on March 15, 1994,
primarily to own and control all of the capital stock of the Bank. The Bank
opened for business on May 15, 1995.

Total assets at March 31, 2000 were $141,055, up 3% from $137,156 at December
31, 1999. The principal components of the Company's assets at the end of the
period were $35,137 in securities available-for-sale and $98,745 in gross loans.
Total liabilities at March 31, 2000 were $131,687, up 3% from $128,101 at
December 31, 1999 with the increase represented by a $2,272 growth in securities
sold under agreements to repurchase, an increase in short-term borrowings of
$3,589, offset by a $2,180 decline in total deposits.

Total shareholders' equity at March 31, 2000 was $9,368 consisting of $9,099 in
net proceeds from the issuance of common stock, increased by accumulated
retained earnings of $1,258 and decreased by $989 of unrealized losses on
securities available-for-sale, net of related deferred tax liability. At
December 31, 1999, total shareholders' equity was $9,055. Exclusive of
unrealized gains (losses) on investment securities, shareholders' equity was
$10,357 at March 31, 2000 and $10,033 at December 31, 1999.

The Company had net income of $324 for the three months ended March 31, 2000
compared with $201 recorded for the three months ended March 31, 1999, a 61%
increase. The significant improvement in profitability in the three month period
results from higher interest income and net interest income partially offset by
increased noninterest expenses in most categories.

Profitability as measured by the Company's return on average assets ("ROA") was
 .95% for the three months ended March 31, 2000 compared to .76% for the same
period in 1999. Return on average equity ("ROE") was 12.70% for the three months
ended March 31, 2000 compared to 8.95% for the same period in 1999. The
calculation of ROE excludes the effect of any unrealized gains or losses on
investment securities.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

NET INTEREST INCOME. Net interest income is the amount by which interest and
fees generated from loans and investments exceeds the interest expense
associated with funding those assets, and represents the principal source of
earnings for the Company. Changes in the volume and mix of earning assets and
interest-bearing liabilities, as well as their respective yields and rates, have
a significant impact on the level of net interest income. Changes in the
interest rate environment and the Company's cost of funds also affect net
interest income.

Net interest income was $1,301 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and is
attributable to interest income from loans and securities exceeding the cost of
interest paid on deposits and

                                       9
<PAGE>
borrowed funds. Net interest income for the three months of 2000 increased 35%
from $967 for the same period in 1999. The net interest margin on a fully
taxable equivalent ("FTE ") basis was 4.12% for the three months of 2000, an
increase of 11 basis points from the 4.01% reported for the same period in 1999.
The Company has been successful in increasing the net interest margin despite
Federal Reserve rate increases and fierce competition for deposits by offsetting
cost of fund increases with higher yields on earning assets.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES. A provision for loan losses of $64 was provided
during the three months ended March 31, 2000, a decrease of $9 or 12% over the
same period in 1999, in recognition of management's estimate of inherent risks
associated with lending activities. Due to the Bank's limited operating history,
this estimate is primarily based on industry practices and consideration of
local economic factors. The amount of the provision for loan losses is a charge
against current earnings, and actual loan losses are charged against the
allowance for loan losses. The allowance for loan losses was $974 as of March
31, 2000 and represented approximately 1.00% of net loans outstanding versus
1.01% of net loans at December 31, 1999 (see Note 4 to the Consolidated
Financial Statements). Despite the $7,355 growth or 8% increase in gross loans
from December 31, 1999 to March 31, 2000, the provision expense decreased by $9,
almost entirely represented by the additional $10 specific reserve accrued in
the first quarter of 1999 due to the impairment of one of the Bank's commercial
loans which was placed on nonaccrual status in April 1999.

No assurance can be given that unforeseen adverse economic conditions or other
circumstances will not result in increased provisions in the future.
Additionally, regulatory examiners may require the Company to recognize
additions to the allowance based upon their judgment about the loan portfolio
and other information available to them at the time of their examinations.

NONINTEREST INCOME. Noninterest income of $84 in the three months ended March
31, 2000 consisted of service charges and fees on accounts and other
miscellaneous income, and represented an increase of $10 or 14% over the $74
reported for the same period one year earlier. Future levels of noninterest
income are expected to increase as a direct result of business growth and
expansion.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE. Noninterest expense for the first three months of 2000 was
$872, an increase of $177 or 25% over the same period in 1999. The largest
components of the increase were compensation expense as additional employees
were hired due to growth, occupancy expense due to growth and expansion,
growth-related data processing expense, and increases in various other expense
categories. Noninterest expenses are expected to increase in future years as a
direct result of business growth and expansion.


YEAR 2000. The Company spent a significant amount of time planning, testing, and
upgrading for the changeover of information technology systems to January 1,
2000 and other identified sensitive dates. The planning and preparation was
successful, as January 1 and February 29, 2000 arrived and departed with no
identified problems with any Bank IT system. The Company incurred no expenses in
the first quarter 2000 in relation to the Year 2000 changeover.

INCOME TAXES. To reflect the Company's anticipated federal income tax liability,
an expense of $125 and $72 at an effective tax rate of 28% and 26% was
recognized in the three months ended March

                                       10
<PAGE>
31, 2000 and March 31, 1999, respectively.

LIQUIDITY AND ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT

Asset/liability management activities are designed to ensure that adequate
liquidity is available to meet loan demand or deposit outflows and to manage the
impact of interest rate fluctuations on net interest income through the
management of the Company's interest sensitivity position.

LIQUIDITY. Liquidity measures the ability of the Company to meet its maturing
obligations and existing commitments, to withstand fluctuations in deposit
levels, to fund its operations and to provide for customers' credit needs.
Liquidity represents a financial institution"s ability to meet present and
future financial obligations through either the sale or maturity of existing
assets or the acquisition of additional funds from alternative funding sources.

The Company's asset liquidity is provided by cash and due from banks, federal
funds sold, investments available for sale, managing investment
maturities/prepayments and loan repayments. The Company's ratio of liquid assets
to deposits and short-term borrowings was 32% at March 31, 2000 and 36% at
December 31, 1999. The Company sells excess funds as overnight federal funds
sold to provide an immediate source of liquidity. The Company had Federal funds
sold of $0 and $6,034 at March 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999, respectively.

Securities purchases in conjunction with substantial loan growth in the amount
of $7,355 in the first quarter of 2000 depleted all excess cash reserves held as
of December 31, 1999. The Company had purchased overnight federal funds in the
amount of $3,589 as of March 31, 2000.

The level of deposits may fluctuate, perhaps significantly so, due to seasonal
cycles of depositing customers and the promotional activities of competitor
financial institutions. Similarly, the level of demand for loans may vary
significantly and at any given time may increase or decrease substantially.
However, unlike the level of deposits, management has more direct control over
lending activities and if necessary can adjust the level of those activities
according to the amounts of available funds.

In addition to asset liquidity, the Company would have liquidity available to it
through increasing certain categories of liabilities. It could purchase
overnight federal funds, borrow from correspondent banks, sell securities under
a repurchase agreement or obtain advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank. As of
December 31, 1999, the Bank had established a line of credit at the Federal
Reserve Bank of Richmond of approximately $22 million. Effective March 1, 2000
this line, which was collaterialized by the Bank's commercial real estate loans,
was closed. As a result of the Company's management of liquid assets and the
ability to generate liquidity through alternative funding sources, management
believes the Company maintains overall liquidity sufficient to meet its
depositors' requirements and satisfy its customers' credit needs.

INTEREST RATE RISK

Interest rate risk is the risk to earnings or capital generated by movement of
interest rates. It can come from differences between the timing of rate changes
and the timing of cash flows (repricing

                                       11
<PAGE>
risk); from changing rate relationships among yield curves that affect bank
activities (basis risk); from changing rate relationships across the spectrum of
maturities (yield curve risk); and from interest rate related options imbedded
in bank products (option risk).

While no single measure can completely identify the impact of changes in
interest rates on net interest income, a commonly-used technique within the
industry is to assess the differences in the amounts of rate-sensitive assets
and rate-sensitive liabilities. These differences or "gaps" provide an
indication of the extent to which net interest income may be affected by future
changes in interest rates. A "positive gap" exists when rate-sensitive assets
exceed rate-sensitive liabilities and indicates that a greater volume of assets
than liabilities will reprice during a given period. A positive gap may enhance
earnings in a rising interest rate environment and may inhibit earnings in a
declining interest rate environment. Conversely, when rate-sensitive liabilities
exceed rate-sensitive assets (a "negative gap"), a greater volume of liabilities
than assets will reprice within the period. In such a case, a rising interest
rate environment may inhibit earnings and a declining interest rate environment
may enhance earnings.

Some financial institutions evaluate their "gaps" strictly from a balance sheet
perspective, calculating the absolute difference between the volumes of assets
and liabilities that have the contractual ability to reprice within a given
period in response to changes in interest rates. Company management believes
this "balance sheet gap" methodology does not adequately take into consideration
the differences in the way various balance sheet items react to changing
interest rates. For example, the rate on savings accounts does not move in
direct tandem with changes in the prime rate, but typically increases or
decreases to a much lesser extent. On the other hand, home equity lines and many
commercial loans are tied directly to prime and immediately reprice to the full
extent of any changes in the prime rate. Accordingly, the Company utilizes an
"income statement gap" methodology that analyzes the various asset and liability
categories and assigns them a "change ratio" that estimates their relative
change in response to a change in the prime rate, based on industry trends and
the Company's own experience. At least quarterly, the Company calculates the
Bank's "income statement gap" to estimate how many assets and liabilities would
reprice and to what extent within a one year period in response to changes in
the prime rate, and compares the results to internal policy guidelines.




IMPACT OF INFLATION

The Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto presented herein have
been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, which
requires the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of
historical dollars without considering changes in the relative purchasing power
of money over time due to inflation. Unlike most industrial companies, nearly
all the assets and liabilities of the Company and the Bank are monetary in
nature. As a result, interest rates have a greater impact on the Company's
performance than do the effects of changes in the general rate of inflation and
changes in prices. In addition, interest rates do not necessarily move in the
same direction or in the same magnitude as do the prices of goods and services.
Management seeks to manage the relationship between interest-sensitive assets
and

                                       12
<PAGE>
liabilities in order to protect against wide interest rate fluctuations,
including those resulting from inflation.

INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO

The Company's investment portfolio is used both for investment income and
liquidity purposes. Funds not used for capital expenditures or lending
activities are invested in securities of the U.S. Government and its agencies,
mortgage-backed securities, municipal bonds, corporate bonds and equity
securities. Obligations of the U.S. Government and its agencies include treasury
notes, callable or noncallable agency bonds, as well as Small Business
Administration pools. Mortgage-backed securities include pools issued by
government agencies. Municipal bonds include tax-exempt general obligation and
revenue issues. Corporate bonds are investment grade issue. Equity securities
include shares of the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond, Federal Home Loan Bank
of Atlanta, Community Bankers Bank and corporate preferred stocks. The Company
does not invest in derivatives or other types of high-risk securities. The
entire investment portfolio is classified as available-for-sale in order to
provide maximum liquidity for funding needs.

Investment securities at March 31, 2000 were $35,137, an increase of $3,173 or
10% from their level of $31,964 on December 31, 1999. The securities increase in
the amount of $3,173 was funded from the excess cash reserves held at December
31, 1999 in anticipation of the century change.

For more information on the investment portfolio, see Note 3 to the Consolidated
Financial Statements.

LOAN PORTFOLIO

The Company's total loans were $98,745 at March 31, 2000, an increase of $7,355
or 8% from the $91,390 reported at December 31, 1999. The Company's ratio of net
loans to total deposits stood at 86% at March 31, 2000 and 78% at December 31,
1999. Management seeks to maintain the ratio of loans to deposits in a range of
70% to 85%.


The loan portfolio primarily consists of commercial, real estate (including real
estate term loans, construction loans and other loans secured by real estate)
and loans to individuals for household, family and other consumer purposes. The
Company adjusts its mix of lending and the terms of its loan programs according
to economic and market conditions, asset/liability management considerations and
other factors. Loans typically (in excess of 90%) are made to businesses and
individuals located within the Company's primary market area, most of whom
maintain deposit accounts with the Bank. There is no concentration of loans
exceeding 10% of total loans which is not disclosed in the Consolidated
Financial Statements and the Notes thereto or discussed below.

The Company has not made any loans to any foreign entities, including
governments, banks, businesses or individuals. Commercial and construction loans
and home equity lines of credit in the loan portfolio are primarily variable
rate loans and have little interest rate risk.

COMMERCIAL LOANS. Commercial and industrial loans accounted for 27% of the loan
portfolio as of

                                       13
<PAGE>
March 31, 2000 and stood at $26,694 versus $24,651 three months earlier. Such
loans generally are made to provide operating lines of credit, to finance the
purchase of inventory or equipment, and for other business purposes. The
creditworthiness of the borrower is analyzed and re-evaluated on a periodic
basis. Most commercial loans are collateralized with business assets such as
accounts receivable, inventory and equipment. Even with substantial collateral
such as all the assets of the business and personal guarantees, commercial
lending involves considerable risk of loss in the event of a business downturn
or failure of the business.

COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE LOANS. Commercial real estate construction and commercial
real estate mortgages represent interim and permanent financing of commercial
properties that are secured by real estate, and were 36% of total loans at March
31, 2000. Outstanding loans in this category equaled $35,992 and $33,485 at
March 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999, respectively. The Company prefers to make
commercial real estate loans secured by owner-occupied properties. These
borrowers are engaged in business activities other than real estate, and the
primary source of repayment is not solely dependent on conditions in the real
estate market.

RESIDENTIAL REAL ESTATE LOANS. Residential real estate loans are secured by
first deeds of trust on 1-4 family residential properties. This category had
$21,710 in loans (22% of total loans) at March 31, 2000 and $19,773 in such
loans at December 31, 1999. To mitigate interest rate risk, the Company usually
limits the final maturity of residential real estate loans held for its own
portfolio to 15-20 years and offers a bi-weekly payment option to encourage
faster repayment. Residential real estate lending involves risk elements when
there is lack of timely payment and/or a decline in the value of the collateral.

LOANS TO INDIVIDUALS. Loans to individuals include installment loans and home
equity lines of credit/loans secured by junior liens on residential real estate.
The loan proceeds typically are used to purchase vehicles, finance home
remodeling or higher education, or for other consumer purposes.
Loans to individuals totaled $14,349 (15% of total loans) at March 31, 2000
compared to $13,481 at December 31, 1999.

NONPERFORMING ASSETS. Nonperforming assets include nonaccrual loans,
restructured loans, loans past due 90 days or more and foreclosed/repossessed
property. A loan will be placed on nonaccrual status when collection of all
principal or interest is deemed unlikely. Once placed on nonaccrual status,
interest is recognized on the cash basis. A loan will automatically be placed on
nonaccrual status when principal or interest is past due 90 days or more, unless
the loan is both well secured and in the process of being collected. In this
case, the loan will continue to accrue interest in despite its past due status.

A restructured loan is a loan in which the original contract terms have been
modified due to a borrower's financial condition or there has been a transfer of
assets in full or partial satisfaction of the loan. A modification of original
contractual terms is generally a concession to a borrower that a lending
institution would not normally consider. Since the Bank opened in May of 1995,
restructured loans have never been a component of the loan portfolio. The entire
balance of restructured loans as reported in the table below is comprised of two
loan customers. Due to proper collateralization of the loans, a timely and
proper review of credit quality and restructuring of the loans as deemed
necessary, the Company believes at the present time that all amounts of
principal

                                       14
<PAGE>
and interest as detailed in the contractual terms will be collected. However,
the Company cannot give assurance that unforeseen economic conditions or other
circumstances will not result in impairment.

Once a month the Officers' Loan Committee will review all loans on the bank's
watch list to determine proper action and reporting of any loans identified as
substandard by the credit quality review.

Nonperforming assets at March 31, 2000, December 31, 1999 and March 31, 1999 are
detailed as follows:

                                        March 31,     December 31,     March 31,

If the nonaccrual loans disclosed above had performed in accordance with their
original terms, additional interest income in the amount of $2, $4 and $0 would
have been recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2000, the year ended
December 31, 1999 and the three months ended March 31, 1999.

DEPOSITS

As of March 31, 2000 total deposits were $113,297, a decrease of $2,180 or 2%
from their level of $115,477 at December 31, 1999. The major categories of
decreases were time deposits and interest bearing demand deposits in the amounts
of $2,355 and $2,252, respectively offset by increases in the other categories.

At March 31, 2000 noninterest-bearing demand deposits were $15,532 or 14% of
total deposits. On December 31, 1999 noninterest bearing demand deposits were
$14,328 or 12% of total deposits. Nonmaturity deposits (noninterest bearing
demand deposits, interest bearing demand deposits, money market accounts and
savings accounts) were $47,461 or 42% of total deposits at March 31, 2000,
compared with $47,286 or 41% of total deposits at December 31, 1999. Total
interest bearing deposits stood at $97,765 at March 31, 2000, a decrease of
$3,384 or 3% over their level of $101,149 at December 31, 1999.

The Company placed in service a commercial sweep account program in third
quarter 1999. The balance in the program grew in the fourth quarter 1999 to a
balance of $992 as of December 31, 1999. During the first quarter 2000, the
balance grew by $2,272 to $3,264. The program consists of establishing a demand
deposit account in which the Bank invests available balances daily in

                                       15
<PAGE>
securities on an overnight basis subject to repurchase. On the following
business day, the Bank will repurchase from the customer the securities for an
amount equal to the amount of available balances invested in the securities.
Interest is calculated daily at the rate applicable for each overnight period;
however, it is posted to the customer accounts only once per month. The
contractual agreement states that a repurchase agreement is not a deposit and
therefore is not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
Therefore, these repurchase balances are not reported as deposits but as
short-term borrowings. If the balances in the commercial sweep accounts had been
reported as deposits and not short-term borrowings, total deposits would have
increased by $92 vs. the $2,180 decrease as reported.

The levels and mix of deposits are influenced by such factors as customer
service, interest rates paid, service charges and the convenience of banking
locations. Competition for deposits is intense from other depository
institutions and money market funds, some of which offer interest rates higher
than those paid by the Company. Management attempts to identify and implement
pricing and marketing strategies designed to control the overall cost of
deposits and to maintain a stable deposit mix.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's financial position at March 31, 2000 reflects liquidity and
capital levels currently adequate to fund anticipated near-term business
expansion. Capital ratios are in excess of required regulatory minimums for a
well-capitalized institution. The adequacy of the Company"s capital is reviewed
by management on an ongoing basis. Management seeks to maintain a capital
structure adequate to support anticipated asset growth and serve as a cushion to
absorb potential losses.


Total shareholders' equity was $9,368 at March 31, 2000 compared with $9,055 at
December 31, 1999, an increase of $313 or 3%. The increase is attributable to a
$11 decrease in accumulated other comprehensive loss offset by net income for
the first three months of $324. Exclusive of unrealized gains (losses) on
investment securities, shareholders' equity was $10,357 at March 31, 2000 and
$10,033 at December 31, 1999.

For the periods indicated, the Company had the following risk-based capital and
leverage ratios relative to regulatory minimums:

- -------------- ------------ -------------- ------------- -------------
Ratio            3/31/00       12/31/99       3/31/99       Minimum
- -----            -------       --------       -------       -------
- -------------- ------------ -------------- ------------- -------------
Tier 1             9.5%          9.8%          10.6%          4%
- -------------- ------------ -------------- ------------- -------------
Total             10.4%         10.7%          11.5%          8%
- -------------- ------------ -------------- ------------- -------------
Leverage           7.5%          7.6%          8.5%           4%
- -------------- ------------ -------------- ------------- -------------

It is anticipated that the Company"s capital adequacy ratios will continue to
decline as long as the rate of asset growth continues to outstrip the rate of
internal capital generation through retention of earnings. If this trend
continues, the Company in the future will have to raise additional capital funds
or curtail its rate of asset growth.

RECENT AND FUTURE ACCOUNTING CONSIDERATIONS

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities. Statement 133 established standards for accounting and
reporting for derivative instruments, including certain instruments embedded in
other contracts and for hedging activities. It requires that an entity recognize
all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial
position and measure those instruments at fair value. Statement 133 was issued
to establish guidelines over the accounting and reporting of derivative
instruments and hedging activities.

Statement 133 shall be effective for all fiscal quarters of all fiscal years
beginning after June 15, 2000. Initial application of this Statement shall be as
of the beginning of an entity's fiscal quarter. Earlier application of all of
the provisions of this Statement is encouraged but is permitted only as of the
beginning of any fiscal quarter that begins after issuance of this Statement.
Earlier application of selected provisions of this Statement is not permitted.
This Statement shall not be applied retroactively to financial statements of
prior periods. Adoption of Statement 133 on January 1, 2000 did not have any
effect on the Bank's consolidated financial position, results of operation or
liquidity.
