PATRIOT BANK CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

March 31, 1996


Note 1 - General

  The accompanying financial statements  of  Patriot Bank Corp. and Subsidiaries
("Patriot")  include the accounts of the parent company,  Patriot Bank Corp. and
its wholly-owned  subsidiary,  Patriot Bank. All material  intercompany balances
and  transactions  have  been  eliminated  in  consolidation.   These  financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with the  instructions for Form 10-Q
and therefore do not include certain  information or footnotes necessary for the
presentation of financial  condition,  results of operations,  and cash flows in
conformity  with  generally  accepted  accounting  principles.  However,  in the
opinion  of  management,  the  consolidated  financial  statements  reflect  all
adjustments  (which consist of normal recurring  accruals)  necessary for a fair
presentation of the results for the unaudited periods. The results of operations
for the three-month  period ended March 31, 1996 are not necessarily  indicative
of the  results  which may be expected  for the entire  year.  The  consolidated
financial  statements  should be read in  conjunction  with the annual report on
Form  10-K for the year ended  December  31,  1995.  Prior to December  1, 1995,
Patriot Bank Corp. had no assets,  liabilities or operations,  and  accordingly,
the data prior to such time  represents  the financial  condition and results of
operations of Patriot Bank.

Note 2 - Conversion to Stock Form of Ownership and Earnings Per Share

  On July 13,  1995,  the Board of  Directors of Patriot Bank adopted an overall
Plan of Conversion (the Conversion),  as amended on August 30, 1995, pursuant to
which Patriot Bank converted from a federally chartered mutual savings bank to a
federally   chartered   capital  stock  savings  bank.  All  of  Patriot  Bank's
outstanding  capital stock was acquired by Patriot,  a newly organized  Delaware
corporation which became the holding company for Patriot Bank.

  The conversion was completed on December 1, 1995 when Patriot issued 3,769,125
shares of common  stock to the public.  Earnings  per share has been  calculated
based on 3,498,000  weighted average share  outstanding  during the period ended
March 31, 1996. The provisions of Accounting  Principles Board No. 15, "Earnings
Per Share," are not applicable for the period ended March 31, 1995.

PATRIOT BANK CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

March 31, 1996

  GENERAL.  Patriot Bank Corp. and Subsidiaries (Patriot) reported net income of
$583,000 for the  three-month  period ended March 31, 1996.  This  represents an
increase of 77% over net income of $330,000  for the  three-month  period  ended
March 31, 1995. Return on average equity and return on average assets were 4.30%
and .77%,  respectively,  for three  three-month  period  ended  March 31,  1996
compared to 7.03% and .56%, respectively, for the same period in 1995.

  STOCK CONVERSION.  On July 13, 1995, Patriot Bank's Board of Directors adopted
an overall Plan of Conversion  (the  Conversion)  as amended on August 30, 1995,
pursuant to which  Patriot  Bank  converted  from a federally  chartered  mutual
savings bank to a federally chartered capital stock savings bank. All of Patriot
Bank's  outstanding  capital  stock was acquired by Patriot Bank Corp.,  a newly
organized  Delaware  corporation  which  became the holding  company for Patriot
Bank.  The  Conversion  was  completed on December 1, 1995 when  Patriot  issued
3,769,125  shares of common  stock to the  public and  raised  net  proceeds  of
$36,652,000.

  NET INTEREST  INCOME.  Net interest  income for the  three-month  period ended
March 31,  1996 was  $2,619,000  compared to  $1,837,000  for the same period in
1995.  This  represents an increase of 42.6% and is primarily due to an increase
in average  balances.  Patriot's net interest  margin (net interest  income as a
percentage  of average  interest-earning  assets) was 3.78% for the  three-month
period ended March 31, 1996 compared to 3.40% for the same period in 1995.

  Interest on loans was  $3,903,000 for the  three-month  period ended March 31,
1996 compared to $3,344,000 for the same period in 1995. The average  balance of
loans was  $195,507,000  with an average  yield of 7.99%  compared to an average
balance of  $167,810,000  with an  average  yield of 7.95% for the same priod in
1995.  The  increase in average  balance is due to the  aggressive  marketing of
residential  mortgage loans and home equity loans. The increase in average yield
is primarily a result of the upward  repricing of  adjustable  rate loans offset
somewhat by more competitive pricing.

  Interest on Patriot's  investment  portfolio  (investment and  mortgage-backed
securities)  was  $1,253,000  for the  three-month  period  ended March 31, 1996
compared to $605,000  for the same  period in 1995.  The average  balance of the
investment  portfolio  was  $75,764,000  with an average  yield of 6.62% for the
three-month  period  ended  March 31,  1996  compared  to an average  balance of
$42,680,000  with an  average  yield of 5.67% for the same  period in 1995.  The
increase in average balance and the increase in yield was due to the purchase of
investment  and  mortgage-backed  securities  to more fully  leverage  Patriot's
capital.

  Interest on total  deposits was $2,308,000  for the  three-month  period ended
March 31, 1996 compared to  $2,030,000  in the same period in 1995.  The average
balance of total deposits was $203,336,000 with an average cost of 4.55% for the
three-month  period  ended  March 31,  1996  compared  to an average  balance of
$189,258,000  with an  average  cost of 4.30% for the same  period in 1995.  The
increase in average  balance was primarily  the result of an emphasis  placed on
transaction  based deposit  products and competitive  pricing of certificates of
deposit.  The increase in average cost was  primarily  the result of a change in
deposit  composition  toward  higher  yielding  products  and  more  competitive
pricing.

  Interest on borrowings was $277,000 for the three-month period ended March 31,
1996  compared to $99,000 for the same period in 1995.  The  average  balance of
borrowings  was  $20,646,000  with an average cost of 5.38% for the  three-month
period ended March 31, 1996 compared to an average  balance of $6,478,000 with a
cost of 6.12% for the same period in 1995.  The increase in average  balance was
due to the use of  borrowings  to fund the  growth  in the  balance  sheet.  The
decrease  in the cost of  borrowings  was the result of lower  overall  interest
rates.

  PROVISION FOR POSSIBLE LOAN LOSSES. The provision for possible loan losses was
$35,000 for the three-month  period ended March 31, 1996 compared to $15,000 for
the same period in 1995. The increase in the provision was due to an increase in
loans offset by Patriot's high asset quality, low level of delinquencies and low
level of  non-performing  assets.  At March 31,  1996  Patriot's  non-performing
assets were .31% of total assets and all loans 30 days or more  delinquent  were
 .83% of total loans.

  NON-INTEREST INCOME.   Total  non-interest income was $121,000 for the three-
month  period  ended March 31,  1996  compared to $87,000 for the same period in
1995. The increase was due to an increase in loan  servicing  income and deposit
fees and are  consistent  with  increases  in loans and  deposits.  

  NON-INTEREST  EXPENSE.  Total  non-interest  expense  was  $1,743,000  for the
three-month  period  ended March 31, 1996  compared to  $1,378,000  for the same
period in 1995.  The  increase  in  non-interest  expense  was the result of the
recognition of expense related to Patriot's Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP)
and additional  compensation  and benefits and other costs related to the growth
of Patriot,  offset  somewhat by other  operating  efficiencies  and cost-saving
efforts.  The ratio of non-interest  expense to average assets was 2.49% for the
three-month period ended March 31, 1996 compared to 2.52% for the same period in
1995.  The  improvement in the overhead  ratio  reflects  Patriot's  emphasis on
managing costs.

  INCOME  TAX  PROVISION.   The  income  tax  provision  was  $379,000  for  the
three-month period ended March 31, 1996 compared to $201,000 for the same period
in 1995. The increase in the income tax provision was consistent with the growth
in net income before taxes.

Financial Condition

  LOAN   PORTFOLIO.   Patriot's   primary  loan  products  are   fixed-rate  and
adjustable-rate  mortgage loans and home equity loans on existing owner-occupied
residential real estate.  Patriot also offers  residential  construction  loans,
commercial  loans and other consumer loans.  At March 31, 1996,  Patriot's total
loan  portfolio  was  $197,761,000,  compared  to  a  total  loan  portfolio  of
$194,250,000  at December 31, 1995.  The increase in the loan  portfolio was the
result of aggressive  marketing of  residential  mortgage  loans and home equity
loans.  During the three-month  period ended March 31, 1996,  Patriot originated
total loans of $11,905,000, compared to total loans originated of $4,489,000 for
the same period in 1995.

  CASH AND CASH  EQUIVALENTS.  Cash and cash  equivalents at March 31, 1996 were
$5,121,000  compared to  $18,556,000  at December 31, 1995. The decrease in cash
and cash  equivalents  was primarily  due to the  investment of a portion of the
proceeds  from the  stock  conversion  that  were  deposited  temporarily  in an
interest-earning account at December 31, 1995.

  INVESTMENT  AND  MORTGAGE-BACKED  SECURITIES.  Investment  securities  consist
primarily  of U.S.  agency  securities,  mortgage-backed  securities  which  are
generally insured or guaranteed by either FHLMC, FNMA or the Government National
Mortgage Association (GNMA) and collateralized mortgage obligations.

  Total  investment  and  mortgage-backed  securities  at  March  31, 1996  were
$104,743,000  compared to  $51,563,000  at December  31,  1995.  The increase in
investment and mortgage-backed  securities was due to the purchase of securities
to more fully leverage Patriot's capital.

  OTHER ASSETS. Premises and equipment at March 31, 1996 was $3,604,000 compared
to  $3,450,000  at December 31, 1995.  The  increase  was  primarily  due to the
renovation of Patriot's corporate  headquarters.  Accrued interest receivable at
March 31, 1996 was  $1,537,000  compared to $1,205,000 at December 31, 1995. The
increase is consistent  with the growth in the loan and  investment  portfolios.
Real  estate  owned at March 31,  1996 was  $191,000  compared  to  $195,000  at
December 31, 1995.  The decrease  in  real estate owned was due to cash payments
received on foreclosed assets.

  DEPOSITS.  Deposits are attracted  from within  Patriot's  primary market area
through the offering of various  deposit  instruments,  including  NOW accounts,
money market accounts, savings accounts,  certificates of deposit and retirement
savings plans.

  Total deposits at March 31, 1996 were $209,787,000 compared to $201,618,000 at
December 31, 1995.  The increase was primarily the result of an emphasis  placed
on  transaction   based  deposit  products  and  competitive  rates  offered  on
certificates of deposit.

  BORROWINGS.  Patriot  utilizes  borrowings  as a source of funds for its asset
growth  and its  asset/liability  management.  Patriot  is  eligible  to  obtain
advances  from the FHLB upon the  security of the FHLB common  stock it owns and
certain of its residential  mortgages and mortgage-backed  securities,  provided
certain  standards related to  creditworthiness  have been met. Patriot may also
utilize  repurchase  agreements to meet its liquidity  needs.  FHLB advances are
made pursuant to several  different credit  programs,  each of which has its own
interest  rate and range of  maturities.  The maximum  amount that the FHLB will
advance to member  institutions  fluctuates from time to time in accordance with
the policies of the FHLB.

  Total borrowings at March 31, 1996 were $45,500,000 compared to $10,000,000 at
December  31, 1995.  The increase in  borrowings  was due to the  leveraging  of
Patriot's capital.

  STOCKHOLDERS'  EQUITY. Total stockholders' equity was $54,126,000 at March 31,
1996 compared to  $54,110,000  at December 31, 1995. The increase is a result of
the retention of earnings  offset somewhat by an increase in the unrealized loss
on investment and mortgage-backed securities available for sale.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

  LIQUIDITY.  Patriot's  primary  sources of funds are  deposits,  principal and
interest payments on loans,  principle and interests  payments on investment and
mortgage-backed  securities,  and FHLB advances.  While maturities and scheduled
amortization  of  loans  and  investment  and  mortgage-backed   securities  are
predictable  sources  of funds,  deposit  inflows  and loan and  mortgage-backed
security  prepayments  are greatly  influenced  by economic  condition,  general
interest rates and competition.  Therefore, Patriot manages its balance sheet to
provide  adequate  liquidity  based upon  various  economic,  interest  rate and
competitive  assumptions  and in light of  profitability  measures.  Patriot has
other sources of liquidity,  including repurchase agreements,  other borrowings,
and certain investment and mortgage-backed securities.

  Patriot Bank is required  under  applicable  federal  regulations  to maintain
specified  levels of "liquid"  investments  in cash and U.S.  Treasury and other
qualifying investments.  Regulations currently in effect require Patriot Bank to
maintain liquid assets of not less than 5% of its net withdrawable accounts plus
short-term  borrowings,  of which  short-term  liquid assets must consist of not
less than 1%. These levels are changed from time to time by the Office of Thrift
Supervision (OTS) to reflect economic conditions. Patriot Bank's liquidity ratio
at March 31, 1996 was 5.23%.

  During the three-month period ended March 31, 1996,  significant liquidity was
provided by financing  activities,  in particular deposit growth and borrowings.
Maturities  of  investment   and   mortgage-backed   securities   also  provided
significant liquidity. The funds provided by these activities were reinvested in
new loans and investment and mortgage-backed securities.

  CAPITAL RESOURCES.  OTS regulations  currently require savings institutions to
maintain  a minimum  tangible  capital  ratio of not less than  1.5%,  a minimum
leverage  capital ratio of not less than 3% of tangible assets and not less than
4% of risk-adjusted  assets,  and a minimum risk-based capital ratio (based upon
credit  risk) of not less than 8%. The OTS requires a minimum  leverage  capital
requirement  of 3% for  associations  rated  composite 1 under the CAMEL  rating
system.  For all  other  savings  associations,  the  minimum  leverage  capital
requirement is 3% plus at least an additional 100 to 200 basis points.

  The OTS has  incorporated  an interest rate risk component into its risk-based
capital  requirements.  Under the  regulation,  savings  associations  which are
deemed to have an  "above  normal"  level of  interest  rate risk must  deduct a
portion of that risk from total capital for  regulatory  capital  purposes.  The
final regulation became effective January 1, 1994;  however,  implementation has
been  delayed.  It is currently  anticipated  that Patriot Bank will not have an
"above normal" level of interest rate risk.

  Under the  OTS prompt  corrective action  regulations,  the OTS is required to
take certain  supervisory  actions against  undercapitalized  institutions,  the
severity of which depends on the institution's degree of undercapitalization.  A
depository  institution's  capital  tier  depends  upon its  capital  levels  in
relation to various  relevant  capital  measures,  which  include  leverage  and
risk-based   capital   measures  and  certain  other  factors.   Under  the  OTS
regulations,  a savings  institution  that has a leverage  capital ratio of less
than 4% (3% for institutions  receiving the highest CAMEL rating) will be deemed
to be undercapitalized for purposes of the regulation.  Depository  institutions
that are not  classified  as well  capitalized  or  adequately  capitalized  are
subject to various  restrictions  regarding  capital  distributions,  payment of
management fees, acceptance of brokered deposits and other operating activities.

  At March 31, 1996,  Patriot Bank was classified as well capitalized and was in
compliance  with all capital  requirements.  The following  table sets forth the
capital ratios of Patriot Bank and the current regulatory  requirements at March
31, 1996:

</TABLE>

  Patriot Bank's deposits are insured by the Savings Association  Insurance Fund
(SAIF) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.  In order to accelerate the
recapitalization   of  the  SAIF,  it  has  been   proposed  that   SAIF-insured
institutions  such as Patriot  Bank be assessed a one-time  charge of between 85
and 90 basis points of their insured  deposits as of March 31, 1995. If enacted,
this assessment would result in an after-tax charge to earnings of approximately
$1,000,000  to  $1,100,000.  While this charge would not impact  Patriot  Bank's
status  as  a  well-capitalized  institution  qualifying  for  the  lowest  SAIF
insurance  premium,  it would have a significant  negative impact on earnings in
the period that the charge is taken.  No liability or change for this assessment
has been made.

  Management of Interest Rate Risk

  The  principal objective  of  Patriot's interest rate risk management function
is to  evaluate  the  interest  rate risk  included  in  certain  balance  sheet
accounts,  determine  the level of risk  appropriate  given  Patriot's  business
focus, operating environment, capital and liquidity requirements and performance
objectives,  and manage the risk  consistent  with  Board  approved  guidelines.
Through  such  management,  Patriot  seeks to reduce  the  vulnerability  of its
operations to changes in interest rates. Patriot monitors its interest rate risk
as such risk relates to its operating  strategies.  Patriot's Board of Directors
has established an  Asset/Liability  Committee  comprised of senior  management,
which is  responsible  for  reviewing  its  asset/liability  and  interest  rate
position and making decisions involving  asset/liability  considerations,  which
meets weekly and reports trends and Patriot's interest rate risk position to the
Board of Directors on a quarterly basis.

   Patriot  utilizes  income simulation  modeling in measuring its interest rate
risk and managing its interest rate sensitivity. Income simulation considers not
only the impact of  changing  market  interest  rates on  forecasted  net income
income, but also other factors such as yield curve relationships, the volume and
mix  of  assets  and  liabilities,   customer  preferences  and  general  market
conditions.

   The  matching  of assets and  liabilities  may be analyzed by  examining  the
extent to which such assets and liabilities are "interest rate sensitive" and by
monitoring  an  institution's  interest  rate  sensitivity  "gap."  An  asset or
liability is said to be interest rate sensitive within a specific time period if
it will mature or reprice within that time period. The interest rate sensitivity
gap is defined as the difference between the amount of  interest-earning  assets
maturing  or  repricing  within  a  specific  time  period  and  the  amount  of
interest-bearing  liabilities  maturing or repricing  within that time period. A
gap  is  considered   negative  when  the  amount  of  interest  rate  sensitive
liabilities  exceeds  the amount of interest  rate  sensitive  assets.  During a
period of rising interest rates therefore,  a negative gap  theoretically  would
tend to adversely  affect net income income,  while a positive gap would tend to
result in an increase in net  interest  income.  Conversely,  during a period of
falling  interest  rates,  a negative gap position would  theoretically  tend to
result in an increase in net interest  income while a positive gap would tend to
affect net interest income adversely.

   As  a  traditional  thrift  lender,  Patriot has a significant  amount of its
earning   assets   invested  in  fixed-rate   mortgage   loans  and   fixed-rate
mortgage-backed  securities with contractual  maturities  greater than one year.
Patriot has initiated  several actions designed to control its level of interest
rate risk.  These actions  included:  (i)  increasing the percentage of the loan
portfolio  consisting of short-term and  adjustable-rate  mortgage loans through
increased   originations   of  these  loans,   (ii)  acquiring   short-term  and
adjustable-rate  mortgage- backed securities,  and (iii) undertaking to lengthen
the maturities of deposits and  borrowings.  At March 31, 1996,  Patriot's total
interest-bearing  liabilities maturing or repricing within one year exceeded its
total net interest-earning  assets maturing or repricing in the same time period
by $29,566,000, representing a one-year cumulative "gap," as defined above, as a
percentage of total assets of negative 9.4%.
