PATRIOT BANK CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

June 30, 1997


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 subsidiaries, Patriot Bank and Patriot Investment Company. 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 six-month period ended June 30, 1997 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, 1996.

Note 2 - Earnings Per Share

   Earnings per share has been calculated on a fully diluted basis. Weighted
average shares outstanding during the six month periods ended June 30, 1997 and
1996 were 4,012,000 and 4,197,000.

   The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings per Share, which is effective for
financial statements issued after December 15, 1997. Early adoption of the new
standard is not permitted. The new standard eliminates primary and fully diluted
earnings per share and requires presentation of basic and diluted earnings per
share together with disclosure of how the per share amounts were computed. The
adoption of this new standard is not expected to have a material impact on the
disclosure of earnings per share in the financial statements.

Note 6 - Trust Preferred Offering

    On June 5, 1997 Patriot Bank Corp issued 19 million of 10.30% of junior
subordinated deferable interest debentures (the "debentures") to Patriot
Capital Trust I (the "Trust") a Delaware business trust, in which Patriot Bank
Corp. owns all of the common equity. The debentures are the sole asset of the
Trust. The Trust issued 19 million of preferred securities to investors. The
Company's obligations under the debentures and related documents, taken
together, constitute a full and unconditional guarantee by the Company of the
Trust's obligations under the preferred securities. Although the debentures will
be treated as debt of Patriot Bank Corp., they currently qualify for tier 1
capital treatment in an amount up to 25% of total tier 1 capital. The preferred
securities are redeemable by Patriot Bank Corp. on or after June 1, 2007 or
earlier in the event the deduction of related interest for federal income taxes
is prohibited, treatment as tier 1 capital is no longer permitted or certain
other contingencies arise. The preferred must be redeemed upon maturity of the
debentures on June 1, 2027.

Note 7 - Charter Conversion

    On May 22, 1997 Patriot Bank completed its conversion from a federally
chartered savings bank to a state chartered commercial bank. Effective with the
charter conversion Patriot Bank's regulators will change from the OTS to the
State of Pennsylvania and FDIC. This change will have no significant effect on
the financial condition or results of operation of Patriot Bank.

Note 8 - Stock repurchase

      On June 26, 1997 Patriot Bank Corp. announced a tender offer to purchase
up to 750,000 outstanding shares of its common stock, $.01 par value per share.
Patriot Bank Corp. will determine the single per share price of not in excess of
$18.00 nor less than $16.50 per share net to the seller in cash (the "Purchase
Price") that it will pay for shares validly tendered pursuant to this offer. The
offer, proration period and withdrawal rights expired at 5:00 P.M. eastern time
on Monday, July 28, 1997, at which time Patriot repurchased approximately
449,000 shares at $18.00 per share.

Note 9 - Subsequent Events

      On August 8, 1997 Patriot announced that it had entered into a nonbinding
letter of intent to sell certain deposits at a 7.5% premium and the physical
facility of its Community Banking Office in Topton, PA. The Topton Community
Banking Office services approximately $11,600,000 in deposits at June 30, 1997.
The sale is subject to regulatory approval and is expected to be completed
during the fourth quarter of 1997.

PATRIOT BANK CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

June 30, 1997

   General. Patriot Bank Corp. and subsidiaries (Patriot) reported earnings per
share of $.21 and net income of $838,000 for the three-month period ended
June 30, 1997. This represents an increase of 32.9% over earnings per share of
$.16 and net income of $678,000 for the three month period ended June 30, 1996.
Earnings per share reported for the six-month period ended June 30,1997 was $.41
with net income of $1,647,000 compared with $.30 per share and net income of
$1,260,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 1996 return on average equity
of 6.94%, for the three-month period ended June 30, 1997 compared to 5.05% for
the three-month period ended June 30, 1996.

   Net Interest Income. Net interest income for the three-month and six-month
periods ended June 30, 1997 was $3,593,000 and $7,117,000 compared to $2,994,000
and $5,614,000 for the same periods in 1996. This increase 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 2.39% for the
six-month period ended June 30, 1997 compared to 3.45% for the same period in
1996.

   Interest on loans was $6,307,000 and $11,848,000 for the three-month and
six-month periods ended June 30, 1997 compared to $4,339,000 and $8,242,000 for
the same periods in 1996. The average balance of loans was $302,311,000 with an
average yield of 7.85% for the six-month period ended June 30, 1997 compared to
an average balance of $206,866,000 with an average yield of 7.98% for the same
period in 1996. The increase in average balance is due to the aggressive
marketing of commercial, consumer and residential mortgage loans. The decrease
in average yield is primarily a result of a larger percentage adjustable and 
shorter term of mortgage loans than in the prior period.

   Interest on Patriot's investment portfolio (investment and mortgage-backed
securities) was $4,986,000 and $9,680,000 for the three-month and six-month
periods ended June 30, 1997 compared to $2,504,000 and $3,757,000 for the same
periods in 1996. The average balance of the investment portfolio was
$284,989,000 with an average yield of 6.89% for the six-month period ended June
30, 1997 compared to an average balance of $114,311,000 with an average yield of
6.57% for the same period in 1996. 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 $3,272,000 and $6,366,000 for the three-month
and six-month periods ended June 30, 1997 compared to $2,358,000 and $4,666,000
for the same periods in 1996. The average balance of total deposits was
$265,333,000 with an average cost of 4.84% for the six-month period ended June
30, 1997 compared to an average balance of $207,514,000 with an average cost of
4.51% for the same period in 1996. The increase in average balance was primarily
the result of the opening of four new Community banking offices, an emphasis
placed on transaction based deposit products and growth in jumbo deposits.

   Interest on borrowings was $4,458,000 and $8,161,000 for the three-month and
six-month periods ended June 30, 1997 compared to $1,510,000 and $1,788,000 for
the same periods in 1996. The average balance of borrowings was $286,846,000
with an average cost of 5.74% for the six-month period ended June 30, 1997
compared to an average balance of $64,701,000 with a cost of 5.53% for the same
period in 1996. The increase in average balance was due to the use of borrowings
to fund the growth in the balance sheet. The increase in the cost of borrowings
was the result of extending the maturity of certain borrowings, issuance of
trust preferred subordinated debt borrowings, and an increase in interest rates.

   Provision for Possible Loan Losses. The provision for possible loan losses
was $120,000 and $225,000 for the three-month and six-month periods ended June
30, 1997 compared to $80,000 and $115,000 for the same periods in 1996. The
increase in the provision was due to an increase in loans and Patriot's
increased emphasis on commercial and consumer lending offset by Patriot's high
asset quality, low level of delinquencies and low level of non-performing
assets. At June 30, 1997 Patriot's non-performing assets were .13% of total
assets and all loans 30 days or more delinquent were .41% of total loans.

   Non-Interest Income. Total non-interest income was $256,000 and $481,000 for
the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30,1997 compared to $131,000
and $252,000 for the same periods in 1996. The increase in noninterest income is
the result of gains on the sale of investment securities available for sale
and an emphasis on increasing fee income.

   Non-Interest Expense. Total non-interest expense was $2,521,000 and
$4,894,000 for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 1997
compared to $1,928,000 and $3,672,000 for the same periods in 1996. The increase
in non-interest expense was the result of the growth of Patriot including
staffing in four new community banking offices and one lending office, offset
somewhat by operating efficiencies and cost-saving efforts. The ratio of
non-interest expense to average assets improved to 1.63% for the six-month
period ended June 30 1997 compared to 2.23% for the same period in 1996. The
improvement in the overhead ratio reflects Patriot's emphasis on managing costs.

   Income Tax Provision. The income tax provision was $370,000 and $832,000 for
the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 1997 compared to $439,000
and $819,000 for the same periods in 1996. The effective tax rate was 33.56% for
1997 compared to 39.40% for 1996. The decrease is a result of tax planning.

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. In 1996, Patriot began offering
commercial loans concentrating on small businesses within Patriot's local
markets. At June 30, 1997 Patriot's total loan portfolio was $345,286,000,
compared to a total loan portfolio of $280,184,000 at December 31, 1996. The
increase in the loan portfolio was the result of aggressive marketing of
commercial, consumer and residential mortgage loans. During the six-month period
ended June 30, 1997, Patriot originated total loans of $102,151,000, compared to
total loans originated of $60,564,000 for the same period in 1996.

   Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 1997 were
$3,881,000 compared to $6,853,000 at December 31, 1996.

   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 GNMA and
collateralized mortgage obligations.

   Total investment and mortgage-backed securities at June 30, 1997 were
$328,190,000 compared to $231,858,000 at December 31, 1996. 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 June 30, 1997 was $8,739,000 compared
to $7,724,000 at December 31, 1996. The increase was primarily due to the
renovation of Patriot's corporate headquarters and Patriot's investment in
technology related equipment and the opening of four new community banking
offices and two lending offices. Accrued interest receivable at June 30, 1997
was $3,993,000 compared to $2,649,000 at December 31, 1996. The increase is
consistent with the growth in the loan and investment portfolios. Real estate
owned at June 30, 1997 was $172,000 compared to $74,000 at December 31, 1996.
Other assets at March 31, 1997 were $10,796,000 compared to $1,653,000 at
December 31, 1996. The increase is primarily due to in intransit items related
to increased lending volume.

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

   Total deposits at June 30, 1997 were $283,331,000 compared to $239,514,000 at
December 31, 1996. The increase was primarily the result of an emphasis placed
on transaction based deposit products, four new community banking offices and
growth in jumbo deposits.

   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 June 30, 1997 were $360,941,000 compared to $231,595,000
at December 31, 1996. The increase in borrowings was due to the purchase of
investment securities.

   Stockholders' Equity. Total stockholders' equity was $49,501,000 at June 30,
1997 compared to $53,117,000 at December 31, 1996. The decrease was primarily a
result of the repurchase of 381,000 shares of common stock at a cost of
$5,462,000.

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, FHLB advances and repurchase agreements. 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
conditions, 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.

   During the six-month period ended June 30, 1997, significant liquidity was
provided by financing activities, particularly borrowings and deposit growth.
Maturities and sale of investment and mortgage-backed securities also provided
significant liquidity during the six-month period ended June 30, 1997. The funds
provided by these activities were reinvested in new loans and investment and
mortgage-backed securities to maintain an appropriate liquidity position.

   Capital Resources. FDIC regulations currently require financial institutions
to maintain a minimum leverage capital ratio of not less than 3% of tier 1
capital to total adjusted 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 FDIC requires a minimum leverage capital requirement of 3% for
Financial Institutions rated composite 1 under the CAMEL rating system. For all
other Financial Institutions, the minimum leverage capital requirement is 3%
plus at least an additional 100 to 200 basis points.

   At June 30, 1997, Patriot Bank's capital ratios compare favorably to the
minimum required amounts of Tier 1 and total capital to "risk weighted" assets
and the minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio as defined by banking regulators. The
following table sets forth the capital ratios of Patriot Bank Corp., Patriot
Bank and the current regulatory requirements at June 30, 1997:

   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 net
interest income 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. The
Asset/Liability Committee meets regularly and reports trends and Patriot's
interest rate risk position to the Board of Directors.

   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 interest
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 positive when the amount of interest rate sensitive assets
exceeds the amount of interest rate sensitive liabilities. 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 interest 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.

   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 pursued several actions designed
to control its level of interest rate risk. These actions include increasing the
percentage of the loan portfolio consisting of short-term and adjustable-rate
loans through increased originations of these loans, acquiring short-term and
adjustable-rate mortgage-backed securities, and undertaking to lengthen the
maturities of deposits and borrowings. At June 30, 1997, 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 $50,215 representing a one-year cumulative "gap," as defined above, as a
percentage of total assets of negative 7.18%.
