PATRIOT BANK CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

March 31, 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 three-month period
ended March 31, 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 three month periods ended March 31, 1997
and 1996 were 4,031,000 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 - Recent Developments
      On October 28, 1996 Patriot announced its intention to convert the charter
of Patriot Bank from a federally chartered savings bank to a state chartered
commercial bank. It is anticipated that this change will become effective in the
second quarter of 1997 and will have no significant effect on the financial
condition or results of operation of Patriot.

PATRIOT BANK CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

March 31, 1997

  GENERAL. Patriot Bank Corp. and subsidiaries (Patriot) reported earnings per
share of $.20 and net Income of $810,000 for the three-month period ended March
31, 1997. This represents an increase of 40.8% over earnings per share of $.14
and net income of $583,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 1996.
Return on average assets and return on average equity were .59% and 6.60%,
respectively, for three three-month period ended March 31, 1997 compared to .77%
and 4.03%, respectively, for the three-month period ended March 31,1996.

   
  NET INTEREST INCOME. Net interest income for the three-month period ended
March 31, 1997 was $3,524,000 compared to $2,619,000 for the same period in
1996. This increase is primarily due to an increase in average balances.
PatriotOs net interest margin (net interest income as a percentage of average
interest-earning assets) was 2.43% for the three-month period ended March 31,
1997 compared to 3.58% for the same period in 1996.
    

  Interest on loans was $5,540,000 for the three-month period ended March 31,
1997 compared to $3,903,000 for the same period in 1996. The average balance of
loans was $286,940,000 with an average yield of 7.76% for the three-month period
ended March 31, 1997 compared to an average balance of $197,214,000 with an
average yield of 7.66% 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 increase in average yield is primarily a result
of a larger percentage of commercial and consumer loans than in the prior
period.

   
  Interest on Patriot's investment portfolio (investment and mortgage-backed
securities) was $4,750,000 for the three-month period ended March 31, 1997
compared to $1,253,000 for the same period in 1996. The average balance of the
investment portfolio was $277,409,000 with an average yield of 6.85% for the
three-month period ended March 31, 1997 compared to an average balance of
$75,764,000 with an average yield of 6.62% 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 $3,094,000 for the three-month periods ended
March 31, 1997 compared to $2,308,000 in the same period in 1996. The average
balance of total deposits was $259,727,000 with an average cost of 4.83% for the
three-month period ended March 31, 1997 compared to an average balance of
$203,336,000 with an average cost of 4.55% 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 $3,702,000 for the three-month period ended March
31, 1997 compared to $279,000 for the same period in 1996. The average balance
of borrowings was $265,978,000 with an average cost of 5.64% for the three-month
period ended March 31, 1997 compared to an average balance of $20,646,000 with a
cost of 5.38% 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
borrowings and an increase in interest rates.

  PROVISION FOR POSSIBLE LOAN LOSSES. The provision for possible loan losses was
$105,000 for the three-month period ended March 31, 1997 compared to $35,000 for
the same period 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 March 31, 1997 Patriot's non-performing assets were
 .13% of total assets and all loans 30 days or more delinquent were .65% of total
loans.

  NON-INTEREST INCOME. Total non-interest income was $225,000 for the
three-month period ended March 31,1997 compared to $121,000 for the same periods
in 1996. The increase in noninterest income is the result of gains on the sale
of equity securities and an emphasis on increasing fee income. 

  NON-INTEREST EXPENSE. Total non-interest expense was $2,373,000 for the
three-month period ended March 31, 1997 compared to $1,744,000 for the same
period 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 1.65%
for the three-month period ended March 31 1997 compared to 2.49% 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 $461,000 for the
three-month period ended March 31, 1997 compared to $379,000 for the same
period in 1996. The effective tax rate was 36.27% for 1997 compared to 39.40%
for 1996.

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 March 31, 1997 Patriot's total loan portfolio was $294,799,000,
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 three-month
period ended March 31, 1997, Patriot originated total loans of $34,345,000,
compared to total loans originated of $11,905,000 for the same period in 1996.

  CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS. Cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 1997 were
$2,799,000 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 March 31, 1997 were
$282,684,000 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 March 31, 1997 was $8,292,000 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 one lending office. Accrued interest receivable at March 31, 1997
was $3,249,000 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 March 31, 1997 was $72,000 compared to $74,000 at December 31, 1996.
Other assets at March 31, 1997 were $4,087,000 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 March 31, 1997 were $266,280,000 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 March 31, 1997 were $275,244,000 compared to $231,595,000
at December 31, 1996. The increase in borrowings was due to the leveraging of
Patriot's capital and growth of Patriot's loan portfolio.

  STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY. Total stockholders' equity was $48,042,000 at March 31,
1997 compared to $53,117,000 at December 31, 1996. The decrease was primarily a
result of the repurchase of 352,000 shares of common stock at a cost of
$5,005,000. 

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 represents. 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.

  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, 1997 was 5.44%.

  During the three-month period ended March 31, 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 three month period ended March 31, 1997. The
funds provided by these activities were reinvested in new loans and investment
and mortgage-backed securities to maintain an appropriate liquidity position.



<PAGE> 13



  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, 1997, 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 Corp., Patriot Bank and the current regulatory
requirements at March 31, 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/Liabillity Committee meets regularly and reports trends and PatriotOs
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 ipursued 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 March 31, 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 $44,327 representing a one-year cumulative "gap," as defined above, as a
percentage of total assets of negative 7.46%.
