                             U. S. TRUST CORPORATION
            NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.       BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
U.S. Trust Corporation (individually, the "Parent" and collectively with its
wholly owned subsidiaries, the "Corporation"). All material intercompany
accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

         The accounting and reporting policies of the Corporation conform with
generally accepted accounting principles and general practice within the
investment management and banking industries. The preparation of financial
statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets
and liabilities (including, but not limited to, the allowance for credit losses,
retirement and postretirement benefits and deferred taxes) as of the financial
statement dates and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting periods. Since management's judgment involves making estimates
concerning the likelihood of future events, the actual results could differ from
those estimates which will have a positive or negative effect on future period
results.

         In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair
presentation of the consolidated financial position and results of operations
for the interim periods have been made. Such adjustments, unless otherwise noted
in these Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and/or
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations (Part I - Item 2 of this report), are of a normal recurring nature.

         These Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations have been prepared under the presumption that the Corporation is a
going concern and do not attempt to take into consideration the impact, if any,
that the pending business combination with The Charles Schwab Corporation
("Schwab") may have on the matters discussed therein.


2.       PENDING BUSINESS COMBINATION

         The Parent has entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the
"Merger Agreement") dated January 12, 2000 with Schwab and a wholly owned
subsidiary of Schwab pursuant to which all of the outstanding common shares of
the Parent will be exchanged for shares of Schwab common stock. The merger
transaction ("Transaction") is subject to the approval of the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Federal Reserve Board), other
regulatory approvals and to U.S. Trust shareholder approval. The transaction,
which is expected to be completed by June 2000, is intended to be a non-taxable
stock-for-stock exchange and to qualify for pooling of interests accounting
treatment.

         Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, Patriot Merger Corporation, a
wholly owned subsidiary of Schwab, will merge with and into the Parent. The
surviving legal entity will be the Parent which will thereafter be a wholly
owned subsidiary of Schwab. The Parent's shareholders will receive 3.427 shares
of Schwab common shares for each common share of the Parent. The total
transaction value was estimated at $2.7 billion as announced on January 13, 2000
in a joint press release from Schwab and the Corporation -- see Note "9 --
Subsequent Events of Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements."

                             U. S. TRUST CORPORATION
            NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (CONTINUED)


         During the first quarter of 2000, the Corporation recorded
merger-related expenses of $10.5 million pre-tax and a related tax benefit of
$0.1 million in connection with the pending merger. Merger-related expenses
consist of investment bankers', attorneys', accountants', and other consulting
fees; employer payroll taxes and compensation relating to the change of control
provisions in the Corporation's benefit plans and financial printing and other
related charges.

         The Merger Agreement provides for a retention bonus program of
approximately $150 million (consisting of approximately $125 million in cash and
$25 million of value in Schwab stock options). Starting with the second
anniversary of the consummation of the business combination, employees will be
eligible to receive the benefits under the retention program, if employed at
that time.

3.       ACCOUNTING CHANGES AND DEVELOPMENTS

         In June 1998, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," ("FAS 133") was
issued. FAS 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative
instruments and for hedging activities. FAS 133 requires recognition of all
derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial
condition and measurement of those instruments at fair value. Fair market
valuation adjustments for derivatives meeting hedge criteria will be recorded in
either comprehensive income or earnings depending on their classification. The
Corporation's use of derivatives to date has been limited to utilizing interest
rate swaps as hedges to mitigate interest rate exposure associated with
short-term floating interest-rate deposits. As such, this use of interest rate
swaps would be categorized as a cash flow hedge under FAS 133 and the effective
portion of the gain or loss on the interest rate swaps would be recorded in
comprehensive income. The fair value of the Corporation's interest rate swap
portfolio was a pre-tax gain of $21.2 million as of March 31, 2000 compared to a
pre-tax loss of $11.6 million at March 31, 1999. Substantially all of the fair
value of the interest rate swap portfolio for these periods would be recorded as
a component of comprehensive income had FAS 133 been effective.

         As issued, FAS 133 was effective for fiscal years beginning after June
15, 1999. In June 1999, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No 137,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities- Deferral of the
Effective Date of FAS 133" ("FAS 137") was issued. FAS 137 delayed the effective
date of FAS 133 one year to fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000.
Management has evaluated the impact of adopting FAS 133 and does not believe
that it will have a material impact on the Corporation's financial condition or
results from operations.

                             U.S. TRUST CORPORATION
            NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (CONTINUED)

7.       CONTINGENCIES

         There are various pending and threatened actions and claims against the
Corporation in which the Corporation has denied liability and which it will
vigorously contest. Although there can be no assurance as to the ultimate
outcome, management, after consultation with counsel and based on current
available information, is of the opinion that the ultimate resolution of such
matters, taken in the aggregate, is unlikely to have a material adverse effect
on the Corporation's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

8.       OPERATING SEGMENTS

         The Corporation has two lines of business as defined by Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, "Disclosures About Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information (FAS 131)", which are: Personal Wealth
Management and Institutional Wealth Management. Personal Wealth Management is
further subdivided into New York and National Wealth Management. Further
financial information by segment is contained within the "Businesses of U.S.
Trust" section of Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations. The following is a summary of the lines of business
operating results for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2000 and
March 31, 1999.

9.       SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

         On May 1, 2000, the Federal Reserve Board announced its approval of the
Transaction and Schwab's application to become a bank holding company by
acquiring U.S. Trust. The Transaction has also been approved by the bank
regulatory authorities in Connecticut, Delaware, New York and North Carolina,
and the process of obtaining other requisite regulatory approvals is continuing.

                                       10
<PAGE>   11
         On May 3, 2000, the Board of Directors of Schwab approved a
three-for-two split of Schwab's common stock, which will be effected in the form
of a 50% stock dividend. The stock dividend is payable May 30, 2000 to Schwab
stockholders of record May 12, 2000.

         As a consequence of the stock split, the exchange ratio in the Merger
Agreement will be adjusted such that the holders of common shares of U.S. Trust
will receive 5.1405 shares of Schwab common stock for each common share that
they own. The 5.1405 rate replaces the exchange ratio of 3.427 described in Note
"2 Pending Business Combination of Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements."

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS

FINANCIAL REPORTING MATTERS

         In this Form 10-Q we make certain forward-looking statements with
respect to the financial condition, results of operations and business of the
Corporation. These forward-looking statements may contain words such as
"believes," "expects," "anticipates," "estimates" or similar expressions.

         We caution that these statements are not guarantees of future
performance. They involve a number of risks and uncertainties that are difficult
to predict. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from
those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements, include but are
not limited to the following:

- -        Competitive pressures in the investment or asset management, corporate
         fiduciary or private banking industries may increase significantly.

- -        General economic or business conditions, or volatility in the equity,
         fixed income and real estate markets, may be unfavorable. Such economic
         environments could result in, among other things, a reduced demand for
         asset management or other financial services, or a decline in assets
         under management over a short or an extended time period. Fee revenues
         and net interest revenue could be negatively impacted by such events.

- -        Legislative changes, including but not limited to legislation related
         to income and estate tax matters, and regulatory changes in banking or
         other businesses that the Corporation engages in, may adversely affect
         its financial condition.


THE BUSINESSES OF U.S. TRUST

         The Corporation has two principal businesses as defined by FAS 131:
Personal Wealth Management Services and Institutional Services. Personal Wealth
Management Services is further delineated into two components - New York Wealth
Management Services ("New York") and National Wealth Management Services
("National").

Personal Wealth Management Services

         The Corporation provides a complete array of financial services for
affluent individuals and families. These services, defined as Personal Wealth
Management Services, include: investment management (domestic and international
equity, fixed income and alternative investments, such as private equity and
real estate); investment consulting; trust, financial and estate planning and
private banking. Personal Wealth Management Services are provided through New
York and National. The Corporation has been well established in the New York
Wealth Management business for many years. More recently, the Corporation has
expanded its presence beyond New York through national expansion resulting in
the establishment of its National Wealth Management business. The Corporation
anticipates that its national expansion will continue over the next several
years.

          The cornerstone of the Corporation's services to the personal wealth
management market in both its New York and National businesses is investment
management. At March 31, 2000, personal assets under management were
approximately $65.3 billion. A major strategy for the growth of the

                                       12
<PAGE>   13
Corporation's Personal Wealth Management business has been national expansion.
Personal Wealth Management clients usually prefer services to be delivered
locally. The Corporation has established affiliates throughout the United
States: California, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, New Jersey, New York, North
Carolina, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Texas and Washington D.C.

Institutional Services

         Institutional Services includes investment management, corporate trust,
brokerage and special fiduciary services for corporations, endowments,
foundations, pension plans and other institutional clients.

         The Corporation's institutional investment management business provides
a wide range of investment options for its clients, including balanced and
specialized domestic and international equity investment styles, structured
investments, alternative investments, fixed-income vehicles and short-term cash
management. At March 31 2000, the Corporation managed approximately $25.0
billion for its institutional clients of which approximately $10.9 billion is
related to the Corporation's special fiduciary services.

Segment Financial Results

         Business segment results are presented in order to reflect financial
performance and strategic direction. Fee revenue is generally credited to the
segment that has the contractual relationship with the client. Allocated net
interest revenue is credited to each segment based upon the level of financial
instruments managed by the segment, after taking into effect the internally
developed cost of fund transfers. All costs directly attributable to a business
segment are charged directly to that segment. Corporate expenses are charged to
the segments based upon management's determination of the direct or indirect
benefits realized by each segment utilizing such corporate services.

         Segment results are based upon estimates and judgments. Internal
management accounting reflects the way management views its businesses and may
not be comparable to other financial institutions. Segment comparability between
reporting periods is achieved by periodic restatement to conform to changes in
organizational structure and changes in allocation policies.

         Presentation of financial information on a quarterly basis may and most
likely will result in non-recurring transactions (either revenue or expense)
being allocated to a segment which may result in short-term swings in a
segment's profit contribution. Accordingly, while informative, quarterly segment
disclosures may not be indicative of long-term performance and should not
necessarily be used as long-term forecasting benchmarks.

         Fee revenue for the Personal Wealth Management segment increased 27.1%
from the first quarter of 1999. Fee revenue for the New York component of the
Personal Wealth Management segment grew 21.4% from the first quarter of 1999
whereas the National component's fee revenue growth rate was 39.5%. Fee revenue
growth is attributable to new business, the overall strength in the financial
markets, and acquisitions.

         Allocated net interest revenue attributable to the Personal Wealth
Management segment increased 11.5% from the first quarter of 1999. New York and
National's growth rates were

7.7% and 25.5%, respectively. The increase in allocated net interest revenue is
principally attributable to the growth in private banking activities.

         Personal Wealth Management's profit margin increased to 27.2% in the
first quarter of 2000 from 21.3% in the first quarter of 1999. New York's profit
margin was 35.3% in the first quarter of 2000, and 23.4% in the first quarter of
1999. This increase is attributable to new business and the overall strength in
financial markets. National's profit margin was 10.1% and 16.1% for the
three-month periods ended March 31, 2000 and March 31, 1999, respectively. The
absolute levels and volatility in National's profit margin is reflective of the
Corporation's continuing investment in its national expansion strategy. National
provides each new location with the Corporation's full array of Personal Wealth
Management service capabilities. The personnel and infrastructure costs incurred
to provide these services are charged directly to National. In addition, costs
incurred to acquire investment management firms managed by National, including
the amortization of intangibles, are borne by National.

         For the first quarter of 2000, National includes amortization of
intangibles related to the acquisition of NCT Holdings which was acquired in the
second quarter of 1999. The first quarter of 2000 also includes a full three
months of amortization expense related to the January 29, 1999 acquisition of
Radnor Capital Management Inc. National's operating expenses increased by $11.9
Million or 46.7% compared to the first quarter of 1999, reflecting new hires,
staff additions from acquisitions, and continued infrastructure costs.

         It is anticipated that the profit margin for National will continue to
fluctuate, reflecting the Corporation's ability to invest in new markets as it
expands its national presence.

         Institutional's fee revenue of $21.2 million in the first quarter of
2000 was relatively flat as compared to the first quarter of 1999.
Institutional's allocated net interest revenue has increased 20.3% from the
first quarter of 1999. Institutional receives interest revenue credit
principally from the customer deposits generated from its corporate trust
activities. Institutional's profit margin of 29.5% in the first quarter of 2000
has decreased somewhat from 33.3% compared to the first quarter of 1999, based
on modest revenue growth and higher expenses.

CONSOLIDATED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         Net income from operations (which excludes merger-related expenses) for
the first quarter of 2000 was $26.1 million, compared to $18.3 million earned in
the first quarter of 1999. Diluted earnings per share from operations were $1.22
in the first quarter of 2000, versus $0.88 in the first quarter of 1999. The
Corporation's annualized return on average stockholders' equity from operations
was 34.3% for the first quarter of 2000, compared to 29.6% for the first quarter
of 1999.

         During the first quarter of 2000, the Corporation recorded
merger-related expenses of $10.4 million ($10.5 million of expenses and a
related tax benefit of $0.1 million) in connection with the pending merger with
Schwab. Including the impact of these expenses, net income was $15.7 million.
Diluted earnings per share including these expenses were $0.74. Management
expects the Corporation will incur additional merger-related expenses for
professional fees and change in control related compensation of approximately
$35.0 million after-tax for an aggregate of approximately $45.0 million of
merger-related expenses on an after-tax basis.

</TABLE>

         Fee revenue for the first quarter of 2000 increased approximately $21.3
million to $121.3 million from $100.0 million in the first quarter of 1999.
Market related fee revenue increased by $16.7 million to $98.2 million from
$81.5 million in the first quarter of 1999.

         Market related fee revenue is based primarily on the market value of
the assets in clients' investment management accounts. In general, fee revenue
is influenced by a variety of factors, including growth or decline of stock,
fixed income and real estate market levels, new business, acquisitions, changes
in fee rate schedules and added services. Fee revenue is negatively impacted by
the outflow of investment management assets due to terminating trusts, client
withdrawals, income and estate taxes and lost business. Fee revenue related to
market conditions is determined on a sliding scale so that as the value of a
client's portfolio grows in size, the Corporation earns a smaller percentage on
the increasing account value. Therefore, market value or other incremental
changes in a portfolio's size may not typically have a proportionate impact on
the level of fee revenue. In general, fee revenue is calculated quarterly based
upon the value of the prior quarters' assets under management. Another important
factor in the determination of fee revenues is the type of assets under
management. Depending on how assets under management are invested, fluctuations
in any one market will not necessarily have a proportionate impact on the
overall level of fee revenue. The following is a comparative analysis of the
composition of assets under management.

         Investment management assets at March 31, 2000 were $79.4 billion
compared to $73.8 billion at December 31, 1999, and $66.1 billion at March 31,
1999. During 1999, the Corporation acquired Radnor Capital Management, Inc., and
NCT Holdings, Inc., which, in the aggregate, managed approximately $2.8 billion
in personal and institutional assets at the acquisition dates.

         Approximately $11.5 billion of assets under management were invested in
the Corporation's Excelsior Funds at March 31, 2000. At December 31, 1999 and
March 31,


                                       17
<PAGE>   18
1999, total assets under management invested in the Excelsior Funds were $9.5
billion and $8.2 billion, respectively.

Net Interest Revenue

         Net interest revenue is affected by changes in the absolute levels of
interest rates and shifts in the term structure of interest rates, funding and
hedging strategies, and the impact of changes in the credit quality of interest
earning financial instruments. The net yield on interest earning assets for the
quarter ended March 31, 2000 has decreased to 3.26% from 3.37% for the quarter
ended March 31, 1999. Taxable equivalent net interest revenue for the first
quarter of 2000 was $33.4 million an increase of $3.6 million from the
comparable 1999 period. Average interest earning assets increased by 15.5% to
approximately $4.1 billion as of March 31, 2000 compared to approximately $3.6
billion at March 31, 1999.

         The loan portfolio is the largest component of average total assets.
Average loans for the first quarter of 2000 were $2.7 billion, a $514.3 million
or 23.6% increase over average loans for the first quarter of 1999. The
Corporation's loan portfolio is predominantly comprised of loans to private
banking customers. Approximately 74% and 76% of total loans are collateralized
by residential real estate mortgages at March 31, 2000 and March 31, 1999,
respectively.

</TABLE>


         Operating expenses, excluding merger-related expenses, increased by
$12.8 million in the first quarter of 2000, or 12.9% as compared to the first
quarter of 1999. The Corporation's pre-tax margin from operations (excluding
merger-related expenses) was 27.6% for the first quarter of 2000 and 23.5% for
the first quarter of 1999.

         Salaries and other employee benefits increased $5.1 million from the
first quarter of 1999. The number of full-time equivalent employees increased
12.7% to 2020 at March 31, 2000, compared to 1,792 at March 31, 1999. The
increase in employees is attributable to acquisitions and internal growth
required to meet an expanding customer base.

         Sales commissions and incentives increased $1.6 million in the first
quarter of 2000 compared to the first quarter of 1999. This increase reflects
the Corporation's strong emphasis on sales. The Corporation makes a substantial
commitment to sales, marketing and advertising. As of March 31, 2000,
approximately 166 employees were devoted to these functions compared to 146 as
of March 31, 1999. Direct expenses associated with these functions, including
salary and other employee benefits, performance compensation and sales
commissions and incentives were $16.1 million for the first quarter of 2000, an
increase of 29.9% from the $12.4 million incurred during the corresponding 1999
period. In addition to the aforementioned expenses, occupancy expense directly
allocable to these functions amounted to approximately $842,000 for the first
quarter of 2000 and $638,000 for the first quarter of 1999.

         Amortization of intangible expense resulting from business combinations
was $1.9 million in the first quarter of 2000 compared to $1.2 million in the
first quarter of 1999. Amortization of intangibles does not require the use of
cash and therefore, management believes it may be distinguished from other
operating expenses. The impact on net income from operations after consideration
of applicable income tax benefits of these non-cash charges was approximately
$1.6 million in the first quarter of 2000 and approximately $0.9 million in the
first quarter of 1999. Excluding the after-tax impact of amortization of
intangible assets, diluted earnings per share from operations would have been
$1.29 and $0.92 for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2000 and 1999,
respectively.

         Other operating expenses also include the cost of the outsourcing
agreement with The Chase Manhattan Bank ("Chase"). Pursuant to this agreement,
Chase furnishes necessary securities processing, custodial, data processing and
other operations support services to the Corporation. The initial term of this
agreement expires on August 31, 2000. The Corporation has exercised its option
to extend the term of the agreement for two additional years to August 31, 2002.
During the initial five-year term of the agreement, the Corporation pays Chase
an annual base fee of $10.0 million plus additional volume charges. The base fee
for the two year option period will increase by 10% of total charges (excluding
certain items) incurred in the final year of the initial term of the agreement.

         Management is considering various possible alternatives for obtaining
the services currently provided under the agreement after its expiration on
August 31, 2002. These alternatives include obtaining the services from
third-party providers, including Chase, or providing such services itself.
Although the costs of obtaining or providing such services are expected to
increase from the current level, management believes, at this time, that such an
increase will not have a material adverse effect on the Corporation's results of
operations.

Capital and Liquidity Management

         Regulatory capital amounts and ratios for the Parent and its wholly
owned subsidiary United States Trust Company of New York (the "Trust Company")
as of March 31, 2000 and 1999 are set forth in the following table.

</TABLE>

Note: Minimum tier 1 capital, total capital and tier 1 leverage ratios are 4%,
8% and 3%-5%, respectively, for bank holding companies and banks. Minimum "well
capitalized" ratios are tier 1 capital of 6%, total capital of 10% and a
leverage ratio of at 5%.

         The objective of liquidity management is to ensure the availability of
financial resources to meet the Corporation's cash flow requirements and to
capitalize on opportunities for business expansion. The Corporation monitors the
liquidity position of the Parent and each of its subsidiaries on an ongoing
basis to ensure that funds are available to meet loan and deposit cash flow
requirements. Liquidity management is also structured to ensure that the capital
needs of the Parent and its subsidiaries are met on a day-to-day basis.

         The Parent's liquidity requirements consist mainly of dividend payments
to common stockholders, interest and principal payments to debt holders,
repurchases of its common stock and capital required for acquisitions or for
additions to its subsidiaries.

                                       20
<PAGE>   21
         As of March 31, 2000, the Parent could repurchase 1,533,225 common
shares under current authorization. Repurchased shares are available to meet the
Parent's obligations under its stock-based benefit plans and for general capital
management purposes. In January 2000, the Parent suspended the repurchase of any
additional shares due to the pending business combination (see Note 1 of Notes
to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements). In January 2000, the Parent
announced its regular quarterly common share dividend of $0.22 per share that
was paid on April 25, 2000. Future dividends declared are subject to approval by
the Parent's Board of Directors and regulatory capital limitations.

         The Parent's sources of liquidity are derived primarily from dividends
from its subsidiaries, issuances of common stock and issuances of long and
short-term debt instruments. As of April 1, 2000, the subsidiaries have the
ability to pay dividends of approximately $104.9 million without prior approval
of the regulatory authorities.

         The Parent has credit facilities totaling $80.0 million which are based
on LIBOR or Prime and mature on March 31, 2002. As of March 31, 2000 there was
$35.0 million outstanding under these facilities.

         The Parent is authorized to issue up to 5.0 million $1.00 par value
preferred shares. As of March 31, 2000, no preferred shares have been issued.

         In addition to traditional interest and non-interest bearing deposit
raising capabilities, the banking subsidiaries have established their own
external funding sources. Certain subsidiaries have established credit
facilities with the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") totaling approximately
$501.5 million. On March 31, 2000, $10.0 million was outstanding under these
credit facilities.

         The subsidiaries also generate liquidity from the types of financial
instruments that they carry as investment securities. As of March 31, 2000
approximately $978.2 million or 83% of the investment securities portfolio is
comprised of U.S. Treasury or federal agency obligations. These securities are
readily marketable and may be sold or financed through repurchase agreements, as
appropriate. At March 31, 2000, securities sold under agreements to repurchase
aggregated $95.0 million. The subsidiaries may also pledge these securities to
secure public deposits, to qualify for fiduciary powers and to use as collateral
for FHLB and other borrowings. Pledged assets at March 31, 2000 totaled $287.0
million.

Market Risk and Sensitivity Analysis

         The objective of market risk assessment and asset and liability
management is to maximize net interest revenue while maintaining acceptable
levels of interest rate sensitivity, high asset quality and adequate liquidity.

         The Corporation does not trade financial instruments nor does the
Corporation invest in financial instruments denominated in foreign currencies.
The Corporation invests in only high quality securities (primarily U.S. Treasury
and federal agency obligations). The Corporation's principal risk is interest
rate related. Interest rate risk results from differences in the maturity and/or
repricing of the Corporation's interest earning assets (which consist primarily
of mortgage loans, mortgage backed securities and other fixed rate investments)
and its interest bearing liabilities, (predominately floating rate deposits).
The Corporation uses interest rate swaps ("Swaps") as hedging vehicles to
mitigate interest rate exposure associated with short-term floating
interest-rate deposits.

         The Corporation employs net interest income ("NII") simulation modeling
techniques to evaluate and manage the effect of changing interest rates. The
Corporation's simulation model includes all on-balance sheet and off-balance
sheet financial instruments and measures NII under

                                       21
<PAGE>   22
various interest rate scenarios. Key variables in the NII simulation include
changes to the level and term structure of interest rates, the repricing of
financial instruments, prepayment and reinvestment assumptions, loan and deposit
pricing and volume assumptions. These simulations involve assumptions that are
inherently uncertain and as a result, the simulation models cannot precisely
estimate NII or precisely predict the impact of changes in interest rates on
NII. Actual results may differ from simulated results due to the timing,
magnitude and frequency of interest rate changes as well as changes in market
conditions and management strategies, including changes in asset and liability
mix.

         The Corporation's simulation model facilitates the evaluation of a
potential range of net interest revenue, under various interest rate scenarios.
The simulation model as of March 31, 2000 indicates a decrease in net interest
revenue of $0.5 million to $1.2 million over the following three month period
for an immediate 50 to 100 basis points increase in rates. Conversely, if
interest rates immediately decreased by 50 to 100 basis points, the simulation
model indicates a $0.7 million to $1.4 million increase in net interest revenue.
As of March 31, 1999 the simulation model indicated a decrease in net interest
revenue of $0.9 million to $1.9 million over the following three months had an
immediate 50 to 100 basis points increase in rates occurred. Conversely, if
interest rates had immediately decreased by 50 to 100 basis points as of March
31, 1999, the simulation model indicated a $0.9 million to $1.8 million increase
in net interest revenue for the subsequent three-month period.

         Each of these simulations assumes that the asset and liability
structure of the balance sheet would not be changed as a result of the simulated
changes in interest rates. As the Corporation actively manages its balance sheet
and interest rate exposure, in all likelihood the Corporation would take steps
to ameliorate any additional interest rate exposure that would result from the
simulated changes in the interest rate environment.

         The following table provides details, as of March 31, 2000, of the
notional amounts of Swaps by maturity and the related average interest rates
paid and received. The Corporation is a fixed rate payor on all of its Swaps.

</TABLE>

         The level of the allowance for credit losses is based upon management's
judgment as to the current condition of the credit portfolio determined by a
continuing surveillance process. In assessing the adequacy of the allowance for
credit losses, management relies on its ongoing review of specific loans, past
experience, the present loan portfolio composition and other economic and
financial considerations.

         As a percentage of average loans, annualized net loan recoveries were
less than one basis point for the first quarter of 2000, compared to annualized
net loan charge-offs of two basis points for the first quarter of 1999. The
allowance for credit losses at March 31, 2000, was 0.75% of average loans for
the quarter ended March 31, 2000. This compares with 0.89% of average loans for
the quarter ended March 31, 1999. Given the current credit quality, management
anticipates that the allowance for credit losses as a percentage of loans will
continue to decrease.
