FINANCIAL INFORMATION (Continued) Item 1. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements INTERCOUNTY BANCSHARES, INC. and THE NATIONAL BANK & TRUST COMPANY BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the unaudited consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Results of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1998, and cash flows for the six month period ended June 30, 1998, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year to end December 31, 1998. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements, accounting policies and financial notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report and Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1997 filed with the Commission. Certain amounts in prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities" provides accounting and reporting standards to distinguish transfers of financial assets that are sales from transfers that are secured borrowings. Adoption of SFAS No. 125 had no effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations. Effective January 1, 1998, the Company adopted SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income." The new rules establish standards for reporting comprehensive income and its components in financial statements. Comprehensive income consists of net income and other gains and losses affecting shareholders' equity that, under generally accepted accounting principles, are excluded from net income. For the Company, such items consist solely of unrealized gains and losses on investment securities available for sale. The adoption of SFAS No. 130 did not have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations, but did affect the presentation of the Company's consolidated statement of changes in shareholders' equity and consolidated balance sheet. -6- PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION (Continued) Item 1. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" requires financial and descriptive information about operating segments of a business. The consolidated statement also requires companies to report revenues for each major product and service. It is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. SFAS No. 131 will result in additional financial statement disclosures, with no effect on the Company's reported consolidated financial position or net income. SFAS No. 131 is not required for interim financial reporting purposes during 1998. The Company is in the process of assessing the additional disclosures, if any, required by SFAS No. 131. In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities". SFAS No. 133 establishes standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. It requires an entity to recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure those instruments at fair value. SFAS No.133 is effective for all fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999. Earlier application is encouraged but should not be applied retroactively to financial statements of prior periods. Currently, the Company does not hold any derivatives or conduct hedging activities as defined by the standard. In most instances the standard, once adopted, precludes any held-to- maturity security from being designated as a hedged item. If the Company had adopted SFAS No. 133 as of July 1, 1998, the impact would have been limited to transfers, if any, of securities from the held-to- maturity classification to available for sale. The Company is evaluating when to adopt SFAS No. 133 and the desirability of potential investment security reclassifications. EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTIONS SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," effective January 1, 1996, encouraged, but did not require, adoption of a fair- value based accounting method for employee stock options. Management elected to continue to recognize compensation cost using the intrinsic- value-based method of accounting in Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." The nature of the Company's agreements with optionees prior to 1997 was such that the accounting treatment was the same under both pronouncements. Prior to 1997, compensation cost was recorded because the Company had a contingent obligation to repurchase the shares. During 1997, all outstanding option agreements were revised, eliminating the Company's contingent obligation. Had compensation expense for the Company's stock options granted after 1996 been recognized under the methodology prescribed in SFAS No. 123, the Company's net income and earnings per share would have been impacted as follows: (in thousands, except per share data) -7- PART I.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION (Continued) Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations INTERCOUNTY BANCSHARES, INC. and THE NATIONAL BANK & TRUST COMPANY FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS Certain matters disclosed herein may be deemed to be forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, including regulatory policy changes, interest rate fluctuations, loan demand, loan delinquencies and losses, and other risks. Actual strategies and results in future time periods may differ materially from those currently expected. Such forward-looking statements represent the Company's judgment as of the current date. The Company disclaims, however, any intent or obligation to update such forward- looking statements. See Exhibit 99 attached hereto, which is incorporated herein by reference. RESULTS OF OPERATION Net income for the second quarter of 1998 was $1.36 million, an increase of 13.4% from the $1.20 million earned in the second quarter of 1997. The primary reasons for the increase in earnings were a 3.8% increase in net interest income and a 20.3% increase in non-interest income. This quarter also showed a 12.5% increase in provision for loan losses and a 6.2% increase in non-interest expense. Net income per share increased 12.8% to $.88 from $.78 for the second quarter of 1997. Net income for the first six months of 1998 was $2.54 million, an increase of 8.0% from the $2.35 million earned in the first six months of 1997. Net income per share increased 7.8% to $1.65 from $1.53. Net interest income was $4.16 million in the second quarter of 1998, 3.8% above the second quarter of 1997. Average interest-earning assets in the second quarter of 1998 increased $61.80 million (16.3%) to $441.73 million from $379.93 million. The volume increase consisted primarily of $6.61 million in loans, $42.71 million in securities, and an increase of $11.81 million in federal funds sold. The average yield on interest-earning assets decreased from 8.30% in 1998 to 7.88% in 1997. Average interest-bearing liabilities increased 16.8% to $385.46 million in 1998 and their cost increased to 4.71% from 4.69% in the second quarter of 1997. Most of the volume growth in interest-bearing liabilities was in additional borrowing from the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) to fund purchases of U.S. Agency mortgage-backed securities and tax-exempt municipal bonds. Also, more aggressive bidding on certificates over $100,000 resulted in an increase of $10.56 million in average balance, and their cost rose from 5.51% to 5.61%. As a result, net interest margin decreased from 4.23% in the second quarter of 1997 to 3.77% in 1998. Net interest income for the first half of 1998 increased 3.8% from the same period last year. Average interest-earning assets increased 14.6% from last year, and the yield on these decreased from 8.32% to 7.99%. Average interest- bearing liabilities increased 15.0%, while the cost increased from 4.66% to 4.72%. Net interest margin has averaged 3.89% in 1998 versus 4.29% in 1997. The provision for loan losses increased to $225,000 for the second quarter of 1998, compared to $200,000 for the same period in 1997. Net charge-offs for the second quarter of 1998 were .14% of average loans, compared to .07% for the prior year. -9- PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION (Continued) Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued) Installment loans are generally charged off if four payments have been missed. Generally, all other loans are placed on non-accrual status if they are 90 days or more delinquent. A loan may remain on an accrual status after it is 90 days delinquent if it is reasonably certain the account will be settled in its entirety or brought current within a 30-day period. The current year's accrued interest on loans placed on non-accrual status is charged against earnings. The previous year's accrued interest is charged against the allowance for loan losses. Cash payments received on non-accrual loans are applied against principal until the balance is repaid. Any remaining payments are credited to earnings. Non-performing loans include non-accrual loans, renegotiated loans and ninety days or more past due loans. Loans that are ten days delinquent, excluding one- to four-family real estate loans, are sent to the Collections Department for collection. One- to four-family real estate loans are sent when they are fifteen days delinquent. As of June 30, 1998, management knew of no significant loans not now disclosed that would cause management to have serious doubts as to the ability of the borrowers to comply with present loan repayment terms. The following table sets forth certain information regarding the past-due, non-accrual and renegotiated loans of the Bank at the dates indicated (in thousands): June 30 December 31 June 30 1998 1997 1997 ------- ----------- ------- Loans accounted for on non-accrual basis $685 $509 $541 Accruing loans which are past due 90 days or more 104 241 112 Renegotiated loans - - - --- --- --- Total $789 $750 $653 === === === Non-accrual loans totaled $685,000 at June 30, 1998, an increase of $176,000 from December 31, 1997. This amount includes two loans totaling $115,000 collateralized by residential first mortgages, and one $42,000 loan guaranteed by the SBA. Also included is one loan with a remaining balance of $345,000 collateralized by receivables with a 50% chance of being collected in full. The remaining balance of $183,000 is collateralized by secondary mortgage positions, purchase money security interests in automobiles and recreational vehicles and chattel filings on equipment and fixtures. All but two are expected to be resolved this year, and those two are expected to be long-term workouts. Management believes the value of the related collateral, if necessary to collect the principal outstanding limits the Bank's exposure to a potential loss of $426,000. As of June 30, 1998, management knew of no significant loans not disclosed herein that would cause management to have serious doubts as to the ability of the borrowers to comply with present loan repayment terms. -10- PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION (Continued) Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued) At June 30, 1998, the Bank's allowance for loan losses totaled $2.67 million and was allocated primarily to the consumer segment of the loan portfolio.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued) Non-interest expense increased 6.2% for the second quarter 1998 over the same period in 1997. Salaries and benefits increased 5.2% for the quarter due mostly to an increase of 12 full-time equivalent employees. The increase was the result of opening a new branch office in Hillsboro and additional support staff in various areas of the Bank. Equipment expense decreased 2.4% from last year and occupancy expense increased 10.1% for the quarter. State franchise tax has increased 8.7% due to the increase in Bank capital on which it is based.

Performance ratios for the second quarter of 1998 included a return on assets of 1.17%, and a return on equity of 12.94%, compared to 1.20% and 12.83%, respectively, for the second quarter of 1997.

FINANCIAL CONDITION The changes that have occurred in InterCounty's financial condition during 1998 are as follows (in thousands): June 30 December 31 1998 1997 Amount Percent ------- ----------- ------ ------- Total assets $484,322 $436,444 $47,878 11 Loans 283,416 277,711 5,705 2 Securities 166,793 123,139 43,654 35 Savings, NOW, MMDA deposits 123,241 117,552 5,689 5 CD's $100,000 and over 38,066 26,899 11,167 42 Other time deposits 143,978 146,219 (2,241) (2) FHLB borrowings 72,000 44,200 27,800 63 The loan portfolio showed little change since year end 1997 in both balance and structure, with the growth being primarily in commercial loans. The securities portfolio has increased $44 million due primarily to the purchase of $20 million of U.S. Agency mortgage-backed securities and $10 million of tax-exempt municipal securities that have been funded through a similar amount of borrowing from the Federal Home Loan Bank at an anticipated tax equivalent spread of 130 basis points. The rest of the increase was in purchases of U.S. Agency callable bonds and fixed rate CMO's. Deposit growth has occurred in interest-bearing transaction accounts and large certificates of deposit. Large certificates are typically less than one year in maturity and very rate sensitive. -12- PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION (Continued) Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued) Book value per share was $27.53 at June 30, 1998 compared to $26.45 at December 31, 1997. Equity to assets was 8.83% compared to 9.37% at the end of last year. Total assets grew 16.9% from June 30, 1997, to a total of $484.3 million. Over the same period total loans increased to $283.4 million, an increase of .9%. The commercial loan portfolio average grew $7.8 million (7.6%), and continues to provide the majority of the increase in the portfolio. The securities portfolio average has grown $34.1 million (34.7%) from the second half of last year through purchases funded with borrowings from the FHLB. Total deposits increased 6.7% to $344.1 million. Average non-interest-bearing deposits increased 12.1% from the same quarter of last year. Average interest- bearing liabilities grew $48.2 million (15.0%), of which $30.5 million was increased FHLB borrowing. Average interest-bearing transaction accounts increased $5.7 million (7.3%), and average retail certificates decreased $.4 million (-.3%). Total equity increased 10.8% since June 30, 1997 to $42.8 million at June 30, 1998. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The maintenance of an adequate level of liquidity is necessary to ensure that sufficient funds are available to meet customers' loan demand and deposit withdrawal. InterCounty manages liquidity on both the asset and the liability side of the balance sheet. The loan to total funds ratio at June 30, 1998 was 65%, compared to 75% for the same date in 1997. Management strives to keep this ratio below 80%. The securities portfolio is primarily "available for sale" securities that are readily marketable. Approximately 46% of the portfolio is pledged to secure public deposits and for other purposes as required by law. The balance of the "available for sale" portfolio could be sold if necessary for liquidity purposes. A stable deposit base consisting of 90% core deposits also makes the Bank less susceptible to large fluctuations in funding needs. The Federal Reserve Board has adopted risk-based capital guidelines which assign risk weightings to assets and off-balance sheet items and also define and set minimum capital requirements (risk-based capital ratios). Bank holding companies must maintain total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based and Tier 1 leverage ratios of 8%, 4% and 3%, respectively. At June 30, 1998, InterCounty had a total risk-based capital ratio of 15.51%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 14.60%, and a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 8.86%. Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks Since December 31, 1997, there have been no material changes in the Company's market risks, which for the Company is primarily interest rate risk. -13- PART II.
