NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2000
(unaudited)
NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts
of Tri-County Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company"), Tri-County Bank (formerly
Tri-County Federal Savings Bank) (the "Bank") and First Tri-County Services,
Inc. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated
in consolidation.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with instructions for Form 10-QSB and Article 10 of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all information and disclosures
required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial
statements. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not purport to
contain all the necessary financial disclosures required by generally accepted
accounting principles that might otherwise be necessary in the circumstances and
should be read together with the 1999 consolidated financial statements and
notes thereto of Tri-County Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiaries included in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1999.
However, all normal recurring adjustments have been made which, in the opinion
of Management, are necessary to the fair presentation of the financial
statements.
The results of operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 2000 are
not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the year
ending December 31, 2000 or any other period.
See Notes 2 and 3.
NOTE 2 - EARNINGS PER SHARE
In February 1997, the FASB issued Statement No. 128, Earnings Per Share (SFAS
128). SFAS 128 replaced the calculation of primary and fully diluted earnings
per share (EPS) with basic and diluted EPS. Unlike primary EPS, basic EPS
excludes any dilutive effects of options, warrants, and convertible securities.
Diluted EPS is very similar to fully diluted EPS. All EPS amounts presented have
been restated, as applicable, to conform with the new requirements.
NOTE 3 - INVESTMENTS
Effective January 1, 1994, the Company adopted SFAS No. 115, Accounting for
Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities. In accordance with SFAS No.
115, the Company classified its investment securities and mortgage-backed
securities as either "held to maturity," "available for sale," or "trading."
Management has determined that all applicable securities are either "held to
maturity" or "available for sale."
-7-
Investment and mortgage-backed securities designated as held to maturity are
stated at cost adjusted for amortization of the related premiums and accretion
of discounts, computed using the level yield method. The Company has the
positive intent and ability to hold these securities to maturity.
Investment and mortgage-backed securities designated as available for sale are
stated at estimated market value. Unrealized gains and losses are aggregated and
reported as a separate component of equity capital, net of deferred taxes. These
securities are acquired with the intent to hold them to maturity, but they are
available for disposal in the event of unforeseen liquidity needs.
Effective January 1, 1998, the Company adopted SFAS No. 130, Reporting
Comprehensive Income. SFAS No. 130 requires that an enterprise (a) classify
items of other comprehensive income by their nature in a financial statement and
(b) display the accumulated balance of other comprehensive income separately
from retained earnings and additional paid-in capital in the equity section of a
statement of financial condition. The Company's only item of other comprehensive
income is the unrealized gain (loss) on securities available for sale, which is
reported net of tax effect. The following schedule reflects the unrealized
holding gains arising during the periods ended March 31, 2000 and 1999.

PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation
GENERAL
Tri-County Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated on June 15, 1993, and
is the holding company of Tri-County Bank (the "Bank"). On September 28, 1993,
the Bank completed its conversion from a mutual savings and loan association to
a stock form of ownership at which time the Company issued 747,500 shares of
Common Stock and utilized a portion of the proceeds to acquire all of the issued
shares of the Bank.
The Company is headquartered in Torrington, Wyoming and its principal business
currently consists of the operation of its wholly owned subsidiary, Tri-County
Bank. The Bank's primary business is attracting retail deposits from the general
public and investing those deposits and other borrowed funds in various loan
products, including mortgage-backed and mortgage-related securities, federal
agency securities and other investment securities.
The Company's results of operations are dependent primarily on its net interest
income, which is the difference between the interest earned on its assets,
primarily its loans and securities portfolios, and its cost of funds, which
consists of the interest paid on its deposits and borrowings. The Company's net
income also is affected by its provision for loan losses as well as non-interest
income, compensation and benefits, occupancy expenses, Federal deposit insurance
premiums, other non-interest expenses, and income tax expense. Other
non-interest expenses consist of real estate lending operations, legal expenses,
accounting services and other miscellaneous costs. The earnings of the Company
are significantly affected by general economic and competitive conditions,
particularly changes in market interest rates, government policies and actions
of regulatory authorities.
CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION
ASSETS
Total assets of the Bank increased by $1.41 million or 1.58% during the first
quarter of 2000. The increase was primarily the result of increases in loans
receivable, securities held to maturity and bank property and equipment which
more than offset decreases in interest earning deposits and securities available
for sale.
Securities available for sale decreased by $788,000 during the quarter ended
March 31, 2000. The Bank redeemed shares in a mutual fund totaling $330,000,
principal payments and prepayments of $368,000 were received on mortgage-backed
securities and the market value of the portfolio decreased by $121,000.
Securities held to maturity increased by $451,000 during the three month period
ending March 31, 2000. The increase was the result of the purchase of an agency
security totaling $995,000 which more than offset principal payments and
prepayments of $543,000 on the Bank's portfolio of mortgage-backed securities.
-9-
Loans receivable increased $1.98 million during the three months ended March 31,
2000. During this period, the Bank originated or purchased portfolio residential
mortgage loans totaling $2.52 million, non-residential mortgage loans totaling
$1.64 million, consumer loans totaling $1.13 million, and commercial loans
totaling $1.79 million. During the same period, the Bank received scheduled
principal payments and prepayments totaling $5.08 million on its loan portfolio.
Of the total mortgage loans originated or purchased during the year, $2.84
million were adjustable rate and $1.32 million were fixed rate loans. Because of
a lack of demand for certain types of loans in the Bank's primary lending area,
purchased loans totaled 63% of mortgage lending during the period. The majority
of purchased loans are residential and non-residential real estate loans in
Colorado and Idaho mountain resort communities and non-residential real estate
loans along the front range of Colorado. Purchased loans are subjected to the
same underwriting standards and loan terms as those originated by the Bank for
its portfolio.
Bank property and equipment increased by $334,000 and was primarily the result
of the construction of a new branch bank located in Cheyenne, Wyoming. The total
cost of the facility is estimated to be $1.4 million. The branch opened on April
3, 2000.
LIABILITIES
Deposit balances increased by $334,000 or 0.64% from $51.81million at December
31, 1999 to $52.14 million at March 31, 2000. The net increase consisted of
increases of $133,000 and $803,000 in demand deposits and savings and NOW
deposits, respectively, and a decrease of $602,000 in time deposits.
Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank increased $1.59 million during the
first quarter of 2000. The advances are a supplement to the Bank's retail
deposits and were used to fund loan originations and to purchase loans and
investment securities.
Deferred income taxes decreased by $32,000 during the year and was mainly the
result of the application of SFAS No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in
Debt and Equity Securities, which requires unrealized gains and losses on
available for sale securities to be reported, net of deferred income taxes, as a
separate component of stockholders' equity. The market value of these securities
decreased $128,000 during the period, which resulted in a decrease in deferred
income taxes.
STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
Overall, stockholders' equity decreased $361,000 during the first quarter of
2000.
The increase in additional paid-in capital of $37,000 was caused, in part, by
the application of an accounting standard which requires charging current
expense for the fair value of shares of stock committed to be released by the
Bank's Employee Stock Ownership Plan and crediting the difference between the
fair value and the cost of the shares to paid-in capital which resulted in an
increase of $14,000. Also, directors and officers of the Bank exercised stock
options on 4,734 shares, which increased additional paid-in capital by $23,000.
The increase in retained earnings was the result of net earnings totaling
$149,000 which more than offset the decrease in retained earnings caused by the
payment of dividends of $0.11 per share totaling $96,000.
As discussed earlier, SFAS No. 115 requires unrealized gains and losses on
securities classified available for sale to be shown as a separate component of
stockholders' equity in an amount which is net of deferred income taxes. The
market value of securities classified as available for sale decreased during the
three month period and resulted in a decrease, net of deferred income tax, of
$80,000 in stockholders' equity.
-10-
The increase in Treasury Stock of $386,000 was the result of the repurchase of
41,524 shares in February of 2000 at an average price of $9.3047 per share.
COMPARISON OF THE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31,
2000 AND MARCH 31, 1999
NET INCOME
Net income decreased $49,000 during the quarter ended March 31, 2000 when
compared to 1999. Net interest income increased by $19,000, non-interest income
decreased by $1,000 and non-interest expense increased by $94,000. The provision
for income taxes decreased by $49,000.
INTEREST INCOME
Interest income from loans increased $134,000 or 15.30% for the quarter ended
March 31, 2000. The increase was the result of an increase in the average
balance of loans outstanding of $7.41 million which more than offset a decrease
in yield on the loans from 8.11% to 7.98%.
The decrease of $8,000 in interest and dividends on securities available for
sale was the result of a decrease in the average balance of securities of $2.99
million which more than offset an increase in the average yield on the portfolio
from 5.97% to 6.54%. The increase in yield was primarily the result of the
purchase of securities with yields greater than the yield on the existing
portfolio.
Interest on securities held to maturity increased $52,000 and was caused
primarily by an increase in the average balance of the portfolio of $2.69
million and a slight increase in the yield on the portfolio from 7.45% to 7.50%.
The increase in yield was primarily the result of the purchase of securities
with yields greater than the yield on the existing portfolio.
The decrease in income from other interest-earning assets of $18,000 was
primarily caused by a decrease in the average balance of these assets that more
than offset a slight increase in the yield on these assets. This category of
assets consists primarily of interest-earning demand deposits held at FHLB.
INTEREST EXPENSE
Interest expense on deposits increased $87,000 during the first quarter of 2000
when compared to the first quarter of 1999. This increase was the result of an
increase in the average cost of deposits from 4.27% to 4.58% and an increase of
$4.69 million in the average balance of deposits.
The Bank took advantage of a relatively inexpensive source of funding available
through the FHLB to supplement retail deposits and to purchase financial
instruments that yield a slightly higher return than the rate charged on the
advances. The average balance of these borrowings was $2.83 million greater
during the first quarter of 2000 than in 1999 and the average cost of the
borrowings increased from 5.42% to 5.66% which resulted in an increase of
$54,000 in interest expense.
PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES
No provision for loan losses was made during the quarter ended March 31, 2000.
The allowance for loan losses is based on Management's evaluation of the risk
inherent in its loan portfolio after giving due consideration to the changes in
general market conditions and in the nature and volume of the Bank's loan
activity. The Bank intends to continue to provide for loan losses based on its
periodic review of the loan portfolio and general market conditions. The
allowance for loan losses amounted to $465,000 at quarter-end. While the Bank
maintains its allowance for loan losses at a level which it considers adequate
to provide for potential losses, there can be no assurances that further
additions will not be made to the loss allowance and that such losses will not
exceed the estimated amounts.

NON-INTEREST INCOME
Total non-interest income decreased by $1,000 during the three month period
ended March 31, 2000 when compared to 1999.
Service charges on deposits increased $5,000 mainly because of an increase in
chargeable events and an increase, in November of 1999, in the amount of the
non-sufficient fund charge.
The decrease in the gain on sale of loans of $1,000 was the result of a decrease
in the dollar amount of loans sold.
The Bank sold available for sale securities in the previous year and recognized
a gain of $4,000 while securities sold in the current year produced a loss of
$6,000.
The increase in other income of $5,000 was the result of increases in loan
servicing fees, document preparation fees and the sale of collectible coins.
NON-INTEREST EXPENSE
Overall, non-interest expense increased $94,000 during the quarter ended March
31, 2000.
Compensation and benefits increased by $78,000 in 2000 and was primarily caused
by the hiring of additional personnel to staff the Bank's new branch in Cheyenne
and to enable the Bank to originate commercial and agricultural loans.
Other expenses increased by $18,000 when compared to the same period of the
previous year. The increase in expenses was mainly caused by increased marketing
expenses, additional travel expenses and the purchase of miscellaneous supplies
in connection with the opening of the Cheyenne branch.
As previously mentioned, the Bank has undertaken a project to open a third
office in Cheyenne, Wyoming. The additional office is expected to enhance the
long-term growth of the company. While the impact of this project has not been
significant so far, it is expected that it will increase overhead expenses
significantly for the remaining three quarters of the year. As with any
start-up, this office cannot be expected to produce a profit until a deposit
base sufficient to support the operation can be generated.
INCOME TAXES
The provision for income taxes decreased by $27,000. The main reason for the
decrease in income taxes was the decrease in income before taxes of $76,000.

YEAR 2000
Like many financial institutions, we rely on computers to conduct our business
and information systems processing. Industry experts were concerned that on
January 1, 2000, some computers might not be able to interpret the new year
properly, causing computer malfunctions. Some banking industry experts remain
concerned that some computers may not be able to property interpret additional
dates in the year 2000. We have operated and evaluated our computer operating
systems since January 1, 2000 and have not identified any errors or experienced
any computer system malfunctions. We will continue to monitor our information
systems to assess whether they are at risk of misinterpreting any future dates
and will develop appropriate contingency plans to prevent any potential system
malfunction or correct any system failures. The Company has not been informed of
any such problem experienced by its vendors or its customers, nor by any of the
municipal agencies that provide services to the Company.
Nevertheless, it is too soon to conclude that there will not be any problems
arising from the Year 2000 problem, particularly at some of the Company's
vendors. The Company will continue to monitor its significant vendors of goods
and services with respect to Year 2000 problems they may encounter as those
issues may effect the Company's financial position, results of operations and
cash flows. The Company does not believe at this time that these potential
problems will materially impact the ability of the Company to continue its
operations, however, no assurance can be given that this will be the case.
The expectations of the Company contained in this section on Year 2000 are
forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and involve substantial risks and uncertainties
that may cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by the
forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements in this section are
based on information available to the Company on the date of this document, and
the Company assumes no obligation to update such forward-looking statements.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Bank's primary sources of funds are deposits, amortization and prepayments
of loans and mortgage-backed securities, FHLB advances, sales and maturities of
investments and funds provided from operations. While scheduled loan
amortization and maturing investment securities are a relatively predictable
source of funds, deposit flow and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by
market interest rates, economic conditions and competition. The Bank manages the
pricing of its deposits to maintain a steady deposit balance. In addition, the
Bank invests its excess funds in short-term time deposits that provide liquidity
to meet lending requirements. Interest-bearing deposits at March 31, 2000
amounted to $343,118. The Bank's liquidity, represented by cash and cash
equivalents, is a product of its operating, investing and financing activities.
These activities are summarized as follows:
3 Months Ended March 31,
(in thousands)
------------------------

Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term function of business
management. Excess liquidity is generally invested in short-term investments
such as Federal funds and interest-bearing deposits. If the Bank requires funds
beyond its ability to generate them internally, borrowing agreements exist with
the FHLB, which provides an additional source of funds.
The Bank anticipates it will have sufficient funds available to meet its current
loan commitments. At March 31, 2000, the Bank had outstanding commitments of
$2,665,048. Certificates of deposit scheduled to mature in one year or less at
March 31, 2000 totaled $23,057,342. Based on past experience, Management
believes that a substantial portion of such deposits will remain with the Bank.
The following table sets forth the Bank's capital position at March 31, 2000, as

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