             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - UNAUDITED


1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     First Home Bancorp Inc. (the Company) is a New Jersey corporation which is
     the holding company for First Home Savings Bank, F.S.B. (the Bank). The
     Company was organized for the purpose of acquiring all of the capital stock
     of the Bank in connection with the reorganization of the Bank into the
     holding company form of ownership. Each outstanding share of common stock
     of the Bank was converted into one share of common stock of the Company.
     The reorganization was consummated on May 31, 1996.

     In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated
     financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly
     the Company's financial position as of March 31, 1997 and December 31,
     1996, the results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1997
     and 1996 and changes in cash flows for the three months then ended. The
     accompanying financial statements do not include information or footnotes
     necessary for a complete presentation of financial condition, statements of
     income and cash flows in conformity with generally accepted accounting
     principles. Certain reclassifications have been made to the consolidated
     financial statements for 1996 to conform to the 1997 presentation. The
     statements of income for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996 are
     not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the
     entire year.

     On July 1, 1992, the Bank acquired Fidelity Mutual Savings and Loan
     Association in a supervisory conversion merger transaction. No
     consideration was paid in connection with the transaction. The Bank
     acquired assets with a fair value of approximately $79,900,000 and assumed
     liabilities of approximately $79,400,000. The acquisition was accounted for
     as a purchase with excess fair value over cost being accreted into income
     over a period of five years.

                             FIRST HOME BANCORP INC.
Item 2.
                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


General

         First Home Bancorp Inc. (the Company) is the sole stockholder of First
Home Savings Bank, F.S.B. (the Bank). Substantially all of the Company's
consolidated revenues are derived from the operations of the Bank, and the Bank
represented substantially all of the Company's consolidated assets and
liabilities at March 31, 1997. The Bank's business is that of a financial
intermediary and consists primarily of attracting deposits from the general
public and using such deposits, together with borrowings and other funds, to
make mortgage loans secured by residential real estate primarily located in New
Jersey and Delaware. The Bank provides consumer banking services through eight
retail banking offices in New Jersey and two retail banking offices in Delaware.
The Bank is subject to significant competition from other financial
institutions, and is also subject to regulation by the Office of Thrift
Supervision (OTS) and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and undergoes
periodic examinations by these regulatory agencies.

Net Income

        The Company earned $1,298,000 or $.48 per share for the three month
period ended March 31, 1997 compared to $1,165,000 or $.43 per share for the
three month period ended March 31, 1996. Net income increased $133,000 or 11.4%
for the three months ended March 31, 1997 as compared to the same period in
1996.

Net Interest Income

        Net interest income for the three month period ended March 31, 1997
totaled $3,828,000 compared to $3,732,000 for the three month period ended March
31, 1996, a $96,000 or 2.6% increase. The increase in net interest income for
the three months ended March 31, 1997 was attributable to growth in net
interest-earning assets of $1,054,000 and was offset by a decline in net
interest margin. Average interest-earning assets increased by $45,142,000 for
the three month period ended March 31, 1997 as compared to the prior year.
Average interest-bearing liabilities increased by $44,088,000 for the three
month period ended March 31, 1997 as compared to the prior year. The increase in
interest-earning assets was primarily attributable to the purchase of
mortgaged-backed securities which increased by $35,085,000 from the prior year.
The increase in interest-bearing liabilities was attributable to increases in
deposits of $24,232,000 and borrowings of $19,856,000 from the prior year. The
increase in net interest income resulting from the increase in net
interest-earning assets was offset by a decline in interest rate spread of .21%
to 2.93% in March 1997 from 3.14% in March 1996.

        The following table sets forth information for the three month periods
ended March 31, 1997 and March 31, 1996 regarding the Company's (1) average
balance of interest-earning assets and the resultant interest income and average
yields; (2) average balance of interest-bearing liabilities and the resultant
interest expense and average costs; (3) net interest income; (4) interest rate
spread; (5) and net yield earned on weighted average interest-earning assets.
Averages are calculated on a month-end basis for each of the periods indicated.
The table is not presented on a tax equivalent basis because the Company's
investment in tax-free obligations is insignificant.

Provision for Credit Losses

        The provision for credit losses were $100,000 for the three month
periods ended March 31, 1997 and 1996. As of March 31, 1997, the allowance for
credit losses totaled $3,757,000 or 1.41% of total loans including loans held
for sale compared to $3,608,000 or 1.40% of total loans at March 31, 1996.

Other Income

        Other income increased by $55,000 for the three months ended March 31,
1997 from the comparable period of 1996. The increase for the three months ended
March 31, 1997 was attributable to the increase in net profits relating to the
sale of investment securities held for trading and loans held for sale to
$57,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997 from $13,000 during the
comparable period in the prior year. In addition, service charges and other fees
increased $18,000 during the three months ended March 31, 1997 compared to the
comparable period in the prior year.

Operating Expenses

General and Administrative Expense - General and administrative expenses
increased $44,000 or 2.2% for the three months ended March 31, 1997 from the
comparable period of 1996. The increase in general and administrative expenses
for the three months ended March 31, 1997 was attributable to increases of
$135,000 attributable to costs associated with the operation, expansion, and
administration of customer services and additional costs of operating the
holding company. These increases were offset by a decrease of $92,000 in the
federal insurance premium for the three month period ended March 31, 1997 to
$42,000 from $134,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 1996.

Amortization of Deposit Premium - In January 1995, the Bank acquired two branch
offices with deposits of approximately $15,900,000. The premium paid for these
deposits is amortized over a period not exceeding the estimated average
remaining life of the customer base acquired. During the three month periods
ended March 31, 1997 and March 31, 1996 amortization was $28,000 and $64,000,
respectively.

Income Tax Expense

        Income tax expense increased $3,000 for the three months ended March 31,
1997 as compared to the same period in 1996. Although pre-tax income increased
$136,000 or 7.5% from the comparable period of 1996, tax expense did not
increase by a comparable amount because a valuation allowance on deferred tax
assets was provided during the period ended March 31, 1996 while there was no
valuation allowance provided during the period ended March 31, 1997.

Financial Condition

        Total assets increased to $508,243,000 on March 31, 1997 from
$498,399,000 as of December 31, 1996, an increase of 7.9% on an annualized
basis. This increase was mainly attributable to an increase in mortgage-backed
securities. From December 31, 1996 to March 31, 1997 mortgage-backed securities
increased by $7,818,000.

        Total liabilities increased to $474,761,000 on March 31, 1997 from
$465,754,000 as of December 31, 1996, an increase of 7.7% on an annualized
basis. Deposits increased to $295,237,000 on March 31, 1997 from $290,298,000 on
December 31, 1996. This increase was primarily due to an increase in money
market and other accounts. From December 31, 1996 to March 31, 1997, money
market and other accounts increased by $6,465,000. This increase was primarily
used to fund the increase in mortgage-backed securities.

        Shareholders' equity increased to $33,482,000 on March 31, 1997 from
$32,645,000 as of December 31, 1996. This increase was primarily the result of
net income of $1,298,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997, less cash
dividends and cash in lieu of fractional shares of $272,000 declared during the
period. In addition, investments classified as available-for-sale in accordance
with the Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 115 "Accounting for
Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" are required to be marked to
market on an after-tax basis and unrealized gains or losses are reflected as an
adjustment to shareholders' equity. The Company had unrealized losses of
$1,060,000 on March 31, 1997 and unrealized losses of $870,000 on December 31,
1996 or a net increase in unrealized losses of $190,000.

Asset Quality

        The Company's non-performing assets consist of non-accrual loans, real
estate owned and repossessed assets. The following table sets forth information

        The Company's level of non-performing assets is affected by adverse
situations that may affect a borrower's ability to repay and other conditions
beyond the Company's control. The Company's management monitors the quality of
assets on a regular basis.

Liquidity and Committed Resources

        Liquidity is maintained at a sufficient level to generate cash to fund
current loan demand and pay operating expenses. Sources of funds are obtained
from increases in deposits, loan principal repayments, sales of loans and
investments, increases in borrowed money and from operations. While loan
principal repayments are a relatively stable source of funds, deposit flows are
greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and
competition. As a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) system, the
Company may borrow from the FHLB of New York. The Company may also utilize
reverse repurchase agreements collateralized by mortgage-backed securities or
other securities. Management believes that the Company has sufficient borrowing
capacity to compensate for reductions in other sources of funds such as
deposits.

        The Company had 6.86% of its assets qualifying for liquidity under
applicable federal regulations as of March 31, 1997. The overall liquidity
percentage requirement is currently 5% on an average monthly basis.

        At March 31, 1997, the Company had approximately $12,332,000 in
outstanding commitments. It is anticipated that these commitments will fund
within the next year and funds will be available from normal cash flows.

Interest Rate Risk Management

        The Company has a program to control its interest rate risk. The
strategy includes an emphasis on originating adjustable rate mortgage (ARM)
loans, the purchase of adjustable rate and short-term mortgage-backed securities
(MBS) and the origination of short-term consumer loans. The Board of Directors
has instructed management to maintain interest rate risk within prescribed
limits. An internal asset/liability modeling system monitors the effect on
income of changing market interest rates.

        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 (gap) is also
monitored. A gap is considered positive when the amount of interest rate
sensitive assets exceeds the amount of interest rate sensitive liabilities. When
interest rate sensitive liabilities exceed interest rate sensitive assets, the
gap is considered negative. However, because all interest rates and yields do
not adjust at the same velocity, the gap is only a general indicator of interest
rate sensitivity.

        During a period of rising interest rates, a negative gap tends to
adversely affect net interest income while a positive gap tends to increase net
interest income. During a period of declining interest rates, a negative gap
tends to increase net interest income while a positive gap tends to adversely
affect net interest income.

        The Company's net interest income tends to increase in periods of
declining interest rates because its interest-bearing liabilities generally
reprice faster than its interest-earning assets. The Company's net interest
income tends to decrease in periods of rising interest rates. Therefore, rising
interest rates, particularly when combined with a flattening yield curve, could
have a negative impact on net interest income in future periods.

        The following table summarizes the amounts of interest-earning assets
and interest-bearing liabilities outstanding as of March 31, 1997 which are
anticipated to mature, prepay or reprice in each of the future time periods
shown. Adjustable and floating rate assets are included in the period in which
interest rates are next scheduled to adjust rather than in the period in which
they are due. Loans and mortgage-backed securities are included in the periods
in which they are anticipated to be repaid, based on internal assumptions.
Non-performing loans have been excluded from interest-earning assets. Money
market deposit accounts (MMDA) and other accounts, NOW and savings accounts
which are subject to immediate withdrawal and repricing are classified at decay
rates based upon assumptions provided by the OTS.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

         In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" effective for fiscal years ending on or
after December 15, 1997. This statement establishes new standards for computing
and presenting earnings per share and now makes the earnings per share
comparable to international standards. Early application is not permitted and
the Statement requires restatement of all prior-period Earnings Per Share (EPS)
data presented after its effective date.

         The EPS as curently reported is the same as the Basic EPS required by
the Statement. The newly required Diluted EPS is not expected to be materially
different than the Basic EPS.

         Also, in March 1997, the FASB issued Statement No. 129, "Disclosure of
Information about Capital Structure." This statement did not change the
currently reported disclosures.
