                    Commonwealth Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiaries

                    NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 1.          Basis of Presentation

             In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited
consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only
normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of Commonwealth
Bancorp, Inc.'s ("Commonwealth" or the "Company") financial condition as of June
30, 1999 and the results of operations, changes in shareholders' equity, and
cash flows for the periods presented.

             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,
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. The
accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements were prepared in
accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q. For further information, refer
to the Company's consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto
included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 1998. Certain items in the 1998 financial statements and footnotes have been
reclassified in order to conform with the 1999 financial statement and footnote
presentation.

             The Company is a Pennsylvania corporation which is the holding
company for Commonwealth Bank ("Bank"). Headquartered in Norristown,
Pennsylvania, Commonwealth Bank has offices located in Berks, Bucks, Chester,
Delaware, Lehigh, Montgomery, and Philadelphia Counties, Pennsylvania. ComNet
Mortgage Services ("ComNet"), a division of the Bank, has offices in
Pennsylvania, Maryland, New Jersey, and Virginia. ComNet also operates under the
trade name of Homestead Mortgage in Maryland.

2.           Principles of Consolidation

             The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of Commonwealth; Commonwealth Bank; CFSL Investment Corporation;
Commonwealth Investment Corporation of Delaware, Inc.; ComLife, Inc.; CS
Corporation; Firstcor, Ltd.; and QME, Inc. All material intercompany accounts
and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

3.           Shareholders' Equity

             On June 15, 1999, the Board of Directors declared a $0.09 per share
cash dividend for the quarter ended June 30, 1999, which was made payable to
shareholders of record at the close of business on June 25, 1999. This dividend
was paid on July 9, 1999.

             During the second quarter of 1999, the Company purchased 0.7
million shares of its common stock at a purchase price of $12.5 million. During
the second quarter of 1998, the Company purchased 0.8 million shares of its
common stock at a purchase price of $19.3 million. The repurchased shares were
held as treasury stock at June 30, 1999 and are reserved for general corporate
purposes and/or issuance pursuant to the Company's stock option plans. At June
30, 1999, shareholders' equity represented 8.4% of assets, compared to 8.5% at
December 31, 1998.

4.           Future Accounting Pronouncements

             In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")
issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting
for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." The statement establishes
accounting and reporting standards requiring that every derivative instrument
(including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts) be
recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its
fair value. The statement requires that changes in the derivative's fair value
be recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria
are met. Special accounting for qualifying hedges allows a derivative's gains
and losses to offset related results on the hedged item in the income statement,
and requires that a company must formally

document, designate, and assess the effectiveness of transactions that receive
hedge accounting.

            SFAS No. 133 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15,
2000. A company may also implement the statement as of the beginning of any
fiscal quarter after issuance (that is, fiscal quarters beginning June 16, 1998
and thereafter). SFAS No. 133 cannot be applied retroactively and must be
applied to derivative instruments and certain derivative instruments embedded in
hybrid contracts that were issued, acquired, or substantively modified after
December 31, 1997 (and, at the company's election, before January 1, 1998).
Commonwealth has not yet determined the timing of the adoption of SFAS No. 133.
The adoption of SFAS No. 133 as of June 30, 1999 would not have had a material
impact on the consolidated statements of income or comprehensive income.

             In June 1999, the FASB issued SFAS No. 137, "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - Deferral of the Effective Date
of SFAS No. 133," which delayed the effective date of SFAS No. 133 for one year.

5.          Earnings Per Share

            Basic earnings per share ("EPS") is calculated by dividing net
income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for Employee Stock Ownership Plan
("ESOP") shares that have not been committed to be released, and the effects of
shares held by the Recognition Plans. Options, warrants, and other potentially
dilutive securities and treasury shares are excluded from the basic calculation,
as follows:

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

            Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income available to common
shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock
outstanding during the period, adjusted for ESOP shares that have not been
committed to be released, and the effects of shares held by the Recognition
Plans. The effect of dilutive securities, such as stock options and Recognition
Plan stock, are considered common stock equivalents and are included in the
computation of the number of outstanding shares using the treasury stock method.
Common shares outstanding exclude treasury shares.

            Basic EPS was $0.34 per share for the quarter ended June 30, 1999,
compared to $0.10 per share for the quarter ended June 30, 1998. Diluted EPS was
$0.33 per share for the quarter ended June 30, 1999, compared to $0.10 per share
for the quarter ended June 30, 1998.

            Basic EPS was $0.64 per share for the six months ended June 30,
1999, compared to $0.36 per share for the six months ended June 30, 1998.
Diluted EPS was $0.63 per share for the six months ended June 30, 1999, compared
to $0.34 per share for the six months ended June 30, 1998.

 6.         Comprehensive Income

            The Company adopted SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income,"
on January 1, 1998, as required. SFAS No. 130 established standards for the
reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in a full set
of general purpose financial statements. The main objective of the statement is
to report a measure of all changes in equity that result from transactions and
other economic events of the period other than transactions with owners.
Currently, such non-owner changes in equity include only unrealized gains or
losses on marketable securities, net of tax. A summary of the reclassification
adjustment for realized gains or losses on marketable securities, net of tax,
follows:

7.          Segment Reporting

            SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and
Related Information," introduces a new model for segment reporting, called the
"management approach." The management approach is based on the way the chief
operating decision maker organizes segments within a company for making
operating decisions and assessing performance. Reportable segments are based on
product and services, geography, legal structure, management structure - any
manner in which management disaggregates a company. The Company's segment
reports follow:

8.                  Acquisitions and Divestitures

                    On March 31, 1998, Commonwealth Bank acquired certain assets
and the Annandale, Virginia office of Edmunds Financial Corporation d/b/a
Service First Mortgage. Under the terms of the transaction, this operation
conducts business under the ComNet Mortgage Services name.

                    On June 28, 1999, Commonwealth Bank completed the sale of
two branches in Lebanon County, Pennsylvania to Harris Savings Bank, resulting
in a pre-tax gain of $1.0 million in the second quarter of 1999. As of June 28,
1999, the two branches had $37 million of combined deposits and $11 million of
consumer and commercial loans.

                    On July 7, 1999, Commonwealth announced that its
wholly-owned subsidiary, Commonwealth Bank, will exit
substantially all of its third party mortgage servicing business, and has
reached a definitive agreement with National City Mortgage Co. regarding the
sale of Commonwealth's existing $1.0 billion Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac mortgage
servicing portfolio. The Company expects to realize a pre-tax gain of between
$3.5 million and $4.0 million upon completion of the transaction, which is
anticipated to occur in the third quarter of 1999.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS


        When used in this Form 10-Q, in future filings by the Company with the
Securities and Exchange Commission, in the Company's press releases or other
public or shareholder communications, or in oral statements made with the
approval of an authorized executive officer, the words or phases "will likely
result", "are expected to", "will continue", "is anticipated", "estimate",
"project", or similar expressions are intended to identify "forward-looking
statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act
of 1995 and Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section
21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Such statements are
subject to certain risks and uncertainties including changes in economic
conditions in the Company's market area, changes in policies by regulatory
agencies, fluctuations in interest rates, demand for loans in the Company's
market area and competition that could cause actual results to differ materially
from historical earnings and those presently anticipated or projected. The
Company wishes to caution readers not to place undue reliance on any such
forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. The Company
wishes to advise readers that the factors listed above could affect the
Company's financial performance and could cause the Company's actual results for
future periods to differ materially from any opinions or statements expressed
with respect to future periods in any current statements.

        The Company does not undertake, and specifically disclaims any
obligation, to publicly release the result of any revisions which may be made to
forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of
such statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated
events.

        GENERAL. The Company is a Pennsylvania corporation which is the holding
company for the Bank. Commonwealth Bank is a federally chartered stock savings
bank, primarily regulated by the Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS"). The Bank
conducts business from its executive offices in Norristown, Pennsylvania and, as
of June 30, 1999, 59 full-service branches located in southeast Pennsylvania.
ComNet Mortgage Services, a division of the Bank, also located in Norristown,
conducts business through loan origination offices located in Pennsylvania,
Maryland, New Jersey, and Virginia, and also operates under the trade name of
Homestead Mortgage in Maryland. In addition, ComNet conducts business through
its wholesale network, which includes correspondents in 18 states.

        YEAR 2000. As the year 2000 approaches, a critical business issue has
emerged regarding how existing application software programs and operating
systems can accommodate this date value. Many existing application software
products in the marketplace were designed to accommodate only two digit date
entries. Beginning in the year 2000, these systems and products will need to be
able to accept four digit entries to distinguish years beginning with 2000 from
prior years. As a result, computer systems and software used by many companies
may need to be upgraded to comply with such Year 2000 requirements.

        In 1997, Commonwealth initiated an extensive review of operations that
could be impacted by Year 2000 non-compliant computer systems and
microprocessors. An inventory of over 175 computer systems, outside service
providers, security systems, HVAC systems and power systems was compiled and
reviewed for risk of non-compliance. The Company's core processing systems are
outsourced with outside service providers. Throughout 1998, Commonwealth worked
with these service providers to confirm that action plans are in place to ensure
Year 2000 compliance. Testing efforts were organized and completed to validate
compliance of core systems and the related key interfaces. Currently, management
believes all of Commonwealth's core systems being used to support daily business
operations are fully compliant.

        Commonwealth continues to work with its technology partners and
secondary service providers to ensure that low impact business components are
also fully compliant. Action plans are in place to upgrade equipment and
software systems where necessary. Total expenditures for Year 2000 compliance
are estimated to be less than $0.3 million and are charged to expense as
incurred.

        Additionally, Commonwealth has been proactive in assessing the Year 2000
readiness of our larger deposit and loan customers. An initial assessment has
been made of existing customers and ongoing monitoring processes are in place to
assess Commonwealth's exposure to customer non-compliance with Year 2000 in
order to minimize its impact. Presently, management is not aware of potential
non-compliance conditions which represent material exposure to the Company.
Processes are also in place to evaluate the Year 2000 readiness of new
customers.

           MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                       AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS-CONTINUED

        Although Commonwealth believes its Year 2000 program is adequate to
address the Year 2000 issue, there can be no assurance to that effect. The
Company will implement its existing Business Resumption Plan in the event of
non-compliance with Year 2000. Commonwealth is primarily dependent on its
suppliers of computer services to become Year 2000 compliant. Commonwealth is
monitoring its computer services provider, as well as its third party system
vendors, to ensure that the Company's systems continue to meet its internal
needs and those of its customers. As a result of Commonwealth's arrangement with
these vendors, the Company does not expect material expenditures to be incurred
to address the Year 2000 issue.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

        GENERAL. Total assets were $2.1 billion at June 30, 1999, compared to
$2.3 billion at December 31, 1998. During the first six months of 1999,
decreases in the Company's mortgage-backed securities, mortgage loans held for
sale and loans receivable were offset, in part, by an increase in investment
securities. Total liabilities were $1.9 billion at June 30, 1999, compared to
$2.1 billion at December 31, 1998. The decrease during the first six months of
1999, was primarily attributable to a decrease in notes payable and other
borrowings and deposits. Shareholders' equity as of June 30, 1999, equaled $174
million, compared to $192 million at December 31, 1998. This $18 million, or 9%,
decrease was primarily the result of the $23.1 million purchase of 1.4 million
shares of treasury stock, offset, in part, by a $6 million, or 5%, increase in
retained earnings, primarily related to earnings during the first six months of
1999.

        CASH, INTEREST-BEARING DEPOSITS, AND SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS ("CASH AND
CASH EQUIVALENTS"). Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $24 million, or 23%,
from $107 million at December 31, 1998, to $82 million at June 30, 1999.

        MORTGAGE LOANS HELD FOR SALE. Mortgage loans held for sale decreased by
$66 million, or 55%, from $121 million at December 31, 1998, to $55 million at
June 30, 1999. The decrease was attributable to a decrease in loans originated
during the second quarter of 1999, primarily as a result of a reduction in loan
refinancing.

        INVESTMENT SECURITIES. Investment securities increased by $105 million,
or 305%, from $35 million at December 31, 1998, to $140 million at June 30,
1999. The increase was primarily attributable to the purchase of highly rated
short-term corporate bonds and mortgage related mutual funds. These increases
were offset, in part, by the maturity of U.S. Treasury and U.S. Government
agency securities.

        The increase in investment securities between December 31, 1998 and June
30, 1999, coupled with a decrease in mortgage-backed securities during the same
time period, was part of a strategy to increase the liquidity and shorten the
average life of the Company's combined investment and mortgage-backed securities
portfolios.

        Investments in debt and equity securities at June 30, 1999 and December
31, 1998 were as follows:

                       AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS-CONTINUED

        MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES. Mortgage-backed securities decreased by $165
million, or 31%, from $524 million at December 31, 1998, to $359 million at June
30, 1999. The decrease in mortgage-backed securities during the first six months
of 1999 was primarily related to repayments and prepayments.

        The decrease in mortgage-backed securities between December 31, 1998 and
June 30, 1999, coupled with an increase in investment securities during the same
time period, was part of a strategy to increase the liquidity and shorten the
average life of the Company's combined investment and mortgage-backed securities
portfolios.

        Mortgage-backed securities generally increase the quality of the
Company's assets by virtue of the insurance or guarantees related to the
securities, are more liquid than individual mortgage loans, and may be used to
collateralize borrowings or other obligations of the Company. At June 30, 1999
and December 31, 1998, $238 million, or 66%, and $310 million, or 59%,
respectively, of the Company's mortgage-backed securities were insured or
guaranteed by the Government National Mortgage Association ("GNMA"), the Federal
Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("FHLMC"), or the Federal National Mortgage
Association ("FNMA"). As part of its investment policy, the Company also has the
ability to invest in private mortgage-backed securities. These non-federally
insured mortgage-backed securities, which are generally rated AA or better,
yield a higher rate of return and involve a higher risk of loss than comparable
mortgage-backed securities issued by the GNMA, FHLMC, or the FNMA, and serve to
further diversity the Company's mortgage-backed securities portfolio. At June
30, 1999 and December 31, 1998, $122 million, or 34%, and $215 million, or 41%,
respectively, of the Company's mortgage-backed securities were private
mortgage-backed securities. The following table sets forth the Company's
mortgage-backed securities portfolio at the dates indicated.

                    LOANS RECEIVABLE. Loans receivable, net of reserves,
        deferred loan fees, and unamortized premiums and unaccreted discounts,
        decreased by $28 million, or 2%, during the first six months of 1999, to
        $1.3 billion at June 30, 1999. The decrease was primarily attributable
        to a decrease in residential mortgage loans, offset, in part, by growth
        in consumer and commercial loans. The consumer and commercial loan
        growth was impacted by the sale of two branches, with loans totaling $11
        million, to Harris Savings Bank on June 28, 1999. The following table
        depicts the composition of the Company's loan portfolio at the dates

     had adjustable interest rates.

(2)  Consists entirely of loans (or securities backed by loans) which are
     guaranteed by the U.S. Government, with the majority adjusting monthly or
     quarterly. All such loans or securities were purchased by the Company.

(3)  Includes owner occupied real estate.

        Total mortgage loans originated and purchased for the six months ended
June 30, 1999, decreased by $196 million, or 35%, from $565 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1998, to $369 million for the six months ended June 30,
1999. The $196 million decrease in mortgage originations was primarily as a
result of a reduction in loan refinancing. Closed loans relating to
Commonwealth's retail network totaled $272 million during the six months ended
June 30, 1999, a decrease of 25% compared to $363 million for six months ended

a network of correspondent brokers in 18 states. All loans are underwritten
using the same criteria as those used for retail originations. Closed loans
relating to Commonwealth's wholesale network totaled $97 million during the six
months ended June 30, 1999, a decrease of 52% compared to $201 million for the
six months ended June 30, 1998.

        Consumer loans increased by $39 million, or 16%, from $240 million at
December 31, 1998, to $279 million at June 30, 1999. At June 30, 1999, consumer
loans represented 21% of the Company's loan portfolio and were comprised of $31
million of equity lines of credit, $148 million of second mortgage loans, $58
million of recreational vehicle loans, and $42 million of other consumer loans.
At December 31, 1998, consumer loans represented 18% of total loans and were
comprised of $35 million of equity lines of credit, $126 million of second
mortgage loans, $40 million of recreational vehicle loans, and $39 million of
other consumer loans.

        As of June 30, 1999, commercial loans totaled $164 million, or 12%, of
the Company's total loan portfolio, as compared to $139 million, or 10%, at
December 31, 1998. At June 30, 1999, commercial loans were comprised of $56
million of commercial real estate loans, $95 million of business loans, and $13
million of loans guaranteed by the Small Business Administration ("SBA"). At
December 31, 1998, commercial loans were comprised of $45 million of commercial
real estate loans, $79 million of business loans, and $14 million of SBA loans.
Commercial loans are generally considered to have a greater risk than
residential mortgage loans because the risk of borrower default is greater, and
the collateral is more likely to decline in value and may be more difficult to
liquidate than single-family residences.

        The increases in consumer and commercial loans and the decrease in
mortgage loans during the first six months of 1999 were in line with the
Company's strategy to shift its business mix from that of a traditional thrift
institution to one more representative of a community bank.

        NONPERFORMING ASSETS. The Company's nonperforming assets, which
primarily consist of nonaccrual loans and real estate acquired through
foreclosure, decreased by $3.1 million, or 28%, from $11.1 million at December
31, 1998, to $8.0 million at June 30, 1999. At June 30, 1999, the Company's $8.0
million of nonperforming assets amounted to 0.38% of total assets. At December
31, 1998, the Company's $11.1 million of nonperforming assets amounted to 0.49%
of total assets. The following table sets forth information relating to the
Company's nonperforming assets at the dates indicated.

        ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES. The Company's allowance for loan losses
amounted to $10.0 million at June 30, 1999, compared to $9.6 million at December
31, 1998. It is management's policy to maintain an allowance for estimated loan
losses based upon an assessment of prior loss experience, the volume and type of
lending conducted by the Company, industry standards, past due loans, general
economic conditions, and other factors related to the collectability of the loan
portfolio. At June 30, 1999, the Company's allowance for loan losses amounted to
145% of total nonperforming loans and 0.75% of total loans held for investment,
as compared to 96% of total nonperforming loans and 0.71% of total loans held
for investment at December 31, 1998. The Company utilizes these percentages as
only one of the factors in assessing the adequacy of the allowance for loan
losses at various points in time.

        Over the past several years, Commonwealth has diversified its lending
efforts and increased its emphasis on providing its customers with consumer and
commercial loans. As a result of the increased risk inherent in these loan
products, management will continually evaluate its loan portfolio and record
additional loan loss reserves as deemed necessary.

        The following table sets forth the activity in the Company's allowance
for loan losses during the periods indicated.

                INTANGIBLE ASSETS. Intangible assets, which are comprised of the
        excess of cost over net assets acquired ("Goodwill") and core deposit
        intangibles ("CDI"), were recorded in connection with the acquisition of
        twelve former Meridian branches in 1996 (the "Berks Acquisition") and
        the acquisition of four former Fidelity Federal branches in 1995 (the
        "Fidelity Federal Acquisition"). On June 28,1999, Commonwealth sold two
        of the former Meridian branches, which resulted in a $1.4 million and
        $0.6 million reduction in Goodwill (Berks Acquisition) and CDI (Berks
        Acquisition), respectively. The following table details the components
        of intangible assets at the dates indicated.

                    MORTGAGE SERVICING RIGHTS. At June 30, 1999, Commonwealth's
        mortgage servicing portfolio was $2.2 billion, a decrease of 9% compared
        to $2.4 billion at December 31, 1998. At June 30, 1999 and December 31,
        1998, Commonwealth was servicing $1.3 billion and $1.4 billion of third
        party loans, as well as $0.9 billion and $1.0 billion, respectively, of
        loans held by Commonwealth for investment and sale. At June 30, 1999,
        capitalized mortgage servicing rights relating to loans originated by
        Commonwealth totaled $7.9 million, compared to $8.9 million at December
        31, 1998. Purchased mortgage servicing rights totaled $1.0 million at
        June 30, 1999, compared to $1.1 million at December 31, 1998.

                 On July 7, 1999, Commonwealth announced that its wholly-owned
        subsidiary, Commonwealth Bank, will exit substantially all of its third
        party mortgage servicing business, and has reached a definitive
        agreement with National City Mortgage Co. regarding the sale of
        Commonwealth's existing $1.0 billion Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac mortgage
        servicing portfolio. The Company expects to realize a pre-tax gain of
        between $3.5 million and $4.0 million upon completion of the
        transaction, which is anticipated to occur in the third quarter of 1999.

                    DEPOSITS. Deposits decreased by $49 million, or 3%, to $1.6
        billion at June 30, 1999, primarily related to the sale of two branches,
        with combined deposits of $37 million, to Harris Savings Bank on June
        28, 1999.

                    BORROWINGS. The Company's borrowings consist primarily of
        advances from the FHLB and securities sold under agreements to
        repurchase. FHLB advances decreased by $113 million, or 47%, to $128
        million at June 30, 1999, from $241 million at December 31, 1998.
        Repurchase agreements decreased by $26 million, or 16%, to $140 million
        at June 30, 1999, from $166 million at December 31, 1998. These
        decreases were offset, in part, by an $14 million increase in the
        Company's commercial

        repurchase product, which was introduced during the first quarter of
        1999. The Company's borrowings are used to fund lending and investment
        activities, withdrawals from deposit accounts, and other disbursements
        which occur in the normal course of business. Dependent upon funding
        requirements and interest rate risk considerations, certain of these
        borrowings are hedged with off-balance-sheet financial instruments.

                    ACCRUED INTEREST PAYABLE, ACCRUED EXPENSES AND OTHER
        LIABILITIES ("OTHER LIABILITIES"). Other liabilities increased by $7
        million, or 29%, to $32 million at June 30, 1999, from $25 million at
        December 31, 1998, primarily related to an increase in accrued interest
        payable.

                    SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY. At June 30, 1999, shareholders' equity
        equaled $174 million, compared to $192 million at December 31, 1998.
        This $18 million, or 9%, decrease was primarily the result of the $23.1
        million purchase of 1.4 million shares of treasury stock, offset, in
        part, by a $6 million, or 5%, increase in retained earnings during the
        first six months of 1999. The $6 million increase in retained earnings
        was the result of earnings of $8.5 million, offset, in part, by cash
        dividends of $2.3 million during the first six months of 1999. The
        repurchased shares were held as treasury stock as of June 30, 1999, and
        are reserved for general corporate purposes and/or issuance pursuant to
        the Company's stock option plans. At June 30, 1999, shareholders' equity
        represented 8.4% of assets, compared to 8.5% at December 31, 1998. The
        Bank's core and risk-based capital ratios were 6.5% and 12.2%,
        respectively, at June 30, 1999, compared to 5.9% and 11.6%,
        respectively, at December 31, 1998.

           MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                       AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS-CONTINUED


COMPARISON OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE QUARTER AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE
30, 1999 AND 1998.

            GENERAL. Net income was $4.4 million, or $0.33 per common share on a
diluted basis, for the second quarter of 1999. The second quarter 1999 financial
results reflected a $0.7 million (after-tax) gain on the sale of two branches in
Lebanon County, Pennsylvania. This gain was offset, in part, by a $0.3 million
(after-tax) charge relating to certain assets acquired in the 1996 acquisition
of 12 branches in Lebanon and Berks Counties, Pennsylvania. Exclusive of these
items, net income would have been $4.0 million, or $0.30 per share on a diluted
basis, for the three months ended June 30, 1999.

            For the six months ended June 30, 1999, net income was $8.5 million,
or $0.63 per common share on a diluted basis. Exclusive of the above items which
affected the second quarter 1999 financial results, net income would have been
$8.1 million, or $0.60 per share on a diluted basis, for the six months ended
June 30, 1999.

            Net income was $1.5 million, or $0.10 per common share on a diluted
basis, in the second quarter of 1998. The second quarter 1998 financial results
were affected by a $1.9 million (after-tax) valuation adjustment relating to an
equity investment in a mortgage servicing partnership; a $0.5 million
(after-tax) charge relating to a policy change in accounting for compensation
expense; and a $0.5 million (after-tax) net gain on sale of securities.
Exclusive of these items, net income would have been $3.4 million, or $0.22 per
share on a diluted basis, for the second quarter of 1998.

            For the six months ended June 30, 1998, net income was $5.3 million,
or $0.34 per common share on a diluted basis. In addition to the above factors
affecting the second quarter 1998 results, net income for the six months of 1998
included a $0.4 million (after-tax) reversal of a deferred tax liability in the
first quarter of 1998. Exclusive of these items, net income would have been $6.9
million, or $0.45 per share on a diluted basis, for the six months ended June
30, 1998.

            NET INTEREST INCOME. Net interest income was $17.8 million in the
second quarter of 1999, compared to $17.7 million in the second quarter of 1998.
For the first six months of 1999, net interest income was $35.3 million, versus
$35.2 million for the comparable period in 1998. The increases were primarily
attributable to a higher net interest margin, offset, in part, by a decrease in
average interest-earning assets.

            Average interest-earning assets totaled $2.0 billion for both the
second quarter and six months ended June 30, 1999. This compared to $2.2 billion
for both the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 1998. The decreases in
interest-earning assets were due primarily to decreases in the Company's
mortgage-backed securities portfolio.

            The net interest margin on a fully taxable equivalent basis was
3.56% in the second quarter of 1999, compared to 3.15% in the second quarter of
1998. The increase was primarily attributable to a 0.53% decrease in the cost of
interest-bearing liabilities, offset, in part, by a 0.04% reduction in the fully
taxable equivalent yield on interest-earning assets. The decrease in the cost of
interest-bearing liabilities was primarily related to a reduction in the average
cost of certificates of deposit, which decreased from 5.51% in the second
quarter of 1998 to 5.09% in the second quarter of 1999. Also contributing to the
decrease in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities was a favorable change in
funding mix, involving an increase in lower costing demand and money market
deposits, and a decrease in higher costing certificates and wholesale
borrowings. The reduction in the yield on interest-earning assets was primarily
due to lower yields on the Company's mortgage-backed and investment securities
portfolios.

            For the six months ended June 30, 1999, the net interest margin on a
fully taxable equivalent basis was 3.51%, versus 3.24% in the comparable 1998
period. The increase was primarily attributable to 0.46% decrease in the cost of
interest-bearing liabilities, offset, in part, by a 0.13% reduction in the yield
on interest-earning assets. The decrease in the cost of interest-bearing
liabilities and the yield on interest-earning assets, relative to the

                        AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS-CONTINUED

comparable periods in 1998, was primarily attributable to the same factors
responsible for the decrease in the second quarter of 1999.

            PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES. Provision for loan losses totaled $1.0
million and $2.0 million in the second quarter and six months ended June 30,
1999, respectively. The provision for loan losses totaled $1.0 million and $1.5
million in the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 1998, respectively.
At June 30, 1999, the allowance for loan losses totaled $10.0 million, or 0.75%
of loans, compared to $9.6 million, or 0.71%, at December 31, 1998.

            NONINTEREST INCOME. Noninterest income totaled $7.7 million in the
second quarter of 1999, compared to $7.4 million in the second quarter of 1998.
The increase primarily reflected a $1.0 million gain on the sale of two branches
in Lebanon County, Pennsylvania. This increase was partially offset by the
effect of a $0.7 million net gain on the sale of securities during the second
quarter of 1998.

            Noninterest income was $15.6 million for the first six months of
1999, compared to $13.4 million for the same 1998 period. In addition to the
factors relating to the second quarter, the increase was also attributable to a
$1.9 million increase in the net gain on sale of mortgage loans, relating to an
increase in loans sold on a servicing released basis. Also impacting the
comparison was a $0.4 million reversal of a deferred tax liability in the first
quarter of 1998.

            NONINTEREST EXPENSE. Noninterest expense was $18.3 million in the
second quarter of 1999, compared to $21.8 million in the second quarter of 1998.
The decrease was primarily attributable to a $2.7 million valuation adjustment
in the second quarter of 1998 relating to an equity investment in a mortgage
servicing partnership. Also reflected in noninterest expense in the second
quarter of 1998 was a $0.8 million one-time charge related to a policy change in
accounting for compensation expense, including commissions on mortgage
originations. These decreases were partially offset by a $0.5 million
nonrecurring charge in the second quarter of 1999 relating to certain assets
acquired in the 1996 acquisition of 12 branches in Lebanon and Berks Counties,
Pennsylvania.

            Noninterest expense was $37.0 million for the six months ended June
30, 1999, compared to $39.2 million for the same period in 1998. The decrease
was primarily attributable to the same factors responsible for the decrease in
the second quarter of 1999, as well as a $0.3 million decrease in the
amortization of intangible assets. Partially offsetting these decreases was an
increase in mortgage banking expenses and higher expenses relating to the
accelerated vesting of certain stock benefit plans due to retirements, as well
as the opening of supermarket and traditional branch offices.

            PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES. Provision for income taxes was $1.8
million, or 29% of income before income taxes in the second quarter of 1999,
compared to $0.8 million, or 34%, in the second quarter of 1998. For the first
six months of 1999, provision for income taxes was $3.5 million, or 29% of
income before income taxes, compared to $2.6 million, or 32%, in the first six
months of 1998. The decrease in the tax rate in the second quarter and first six
months of 1999, relative to the comparable periods in 1998, was primarily
attributable to historic and low income housing tax credits.

 ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

            Commonwealth utilizes simulation models to analyze the estimated
effects on net interest income under multiple interest rate scenarios, including
increases and decreases in interest rates amounting to 100, 200, and 300 basis
points. Each scenario is modeled for a change in net interest income over a two
year period. Similar simulation models are prepared to analyze the Company's net
asset value, which is the present value of the cash flows generated by the
Company's assets minus the present value of the cash flows generated by the
Company's liabilities, plus or minus the net cash flows produced by off-balance
sheet contracts. At June 30, 1999, the Company's income simulation model
indicates net interest income would decrease by 4.66% over a two year period if
interest rates increased by 200 basis points. The model projects that net
interest income would decrease by 2.45% over a two year period if rates
decreased by 200 basis points. The anticipated changes in the level of net
interest income and net asset value over the various scenarios were within
limits approved by the Company's Board of Directors.

            Management believes that the assumptions utilized to evaluate the
vulnerability of the Company's operations to changes in interest rates
approximate actual experience and considers them to be reasonable. However, the
interest rate sensitivity of the Company's assets and liabilities could vary
substantially if different assumptions were used or actual experience differs
from the historical experience on which they are based.

            Since there are limitations inherent in any methodology used to
estimate the exposure to changes in market interest rates, this analysis is not
intended to be a forecast of the actual effect of a change in market interest
rates on the Company. The net interest income variability reflects the Company's
interest rate sensitivity position and does not include the change in earnings
related to an increase or decrease in amortization of servicing intangible
assets that may be caused by different levels of prepayments when rates rise or
fall. The market value of portfolio equity is significantly impacted by the
estimated effect of prepayments on the value of single family loans,
mortgage-backed securities and servicing as rates change. Further, this analysis
is based on the Company's assets, liabilities, mortgage servicing rights, and
off-balance-sheet instruments at June 30, 1999, and does not contemplate any
actions the Company might undertake in response to changes in market interest
rates.
