                     FIRST HOME BANCORP INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - UNAUDITED

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SELECTED ACCOUNTING POLICIES

   First Home Bancorp Inc. (the Company), a New Jersey corporation, 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, 1998 and December 31, 1997, the
   results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997 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
   1997 to conform to the 1998 presentation. The statements of income for the
   three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997 are not necessarily indicative of
   the results which may be expected for the entire year.

   Derivative Financial Instruments - During 1998 and 1997, the Company was a
   party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal
   course of business to reduce its exposure to fluctuations in interest rates
   (hedging). The off-balance-sheet financial instruments were forward
   commitments and interest rate swaps. Those instruments involve, to varying
   degrees, elements of credit, interest rate, or liquidity risk in excess of
   the amounts recognized in the balance sheets. The contract or notional
   amounts of those instruments represent the extent of involvement the Company
   has in these financial instruments.

   Credit risk is controlled by conducting transactions with major investment
   firms and by setting policies for transaction volume limitations and periodic
   monitoring. Each dealer was carefully evaluated on the basis of its financial
   strength, reputation and expertise. Unless noted otherwise, the Company does
   not require collateral or other securities to support derivative financial
   instruments with credit risk.

   Derivatives are classified as hedges of specific on-balance-sheet items,
   off-balance-sheet items or anticipated transactions. In order for derivatives
   to qualify for hedge accounting treatment, the following conditions must be
   met: 1) the underlying item being hedged by derivatives exposes the Company
   to interest rate risk, 2) the derivatives used serves to reduce the Company's
   sensitivity to interest rate risk, and 3) the derivative used is designed and
   deemed effective in hedging the Company's exposure to interest rate risk. For
   derivatives designated as hedges of interest rate exposure, gains or losses
   are deferred and included in the carrying amounts of the related item
   exposing the Company to interest rate risk and ultimately recognized in
   income as part of those carrying amounts. Gains or losses resulting from
   early terminations of derivatives are deferred and amortized over the
   remaining term of the underlying balance sheet item or the remaining term of
   the derivative, as appropriate.

   Derivatives not qualifying for hedge accounting treatment would be carried at
   market value with realized and unrealized gains and losses included in
   noninterest income. During 1998 and 1997, all of the Company's derivatives
   qualified as hedges of specific on balance sheet items.

   A forward contract is a legal agreement between two parties to purchase or
   sell a specific quantity of a financial instrument, at a specified price,
   with delivery and settlement at a specified future date. Because forward
   contracts lack the liquidity and protection provided by regulated exchanges,
   there is a heightened risk of default by the counterparties. At March 31,
   1998 and 1997 management believes there was no exposure to credit loss in the
   event of non-performance by other parties to forward contracts.

   The Company periodically enters into interest rate swap agreements to help
   reduce certain interest rate exposure on a portion of its borrowings. An
   interest rate swap is a contractual agreements between two

                                        4

   parties to exchange interest payments at particular intervals, computed on
   different terms, on a specified notional amount. The notional amount
   represents the base on which interest due each counterparty is calculated and
   does not represent the potential for gains or losses associated with the
   market risk or credit risk of such transactions. At March 31, 1998, the
   Company had a $20.0 million notional amount interest rate swap agreement
   outstanding on which the Company pays a fixed interest rate of 6.10% and
   receives a floating interest rate of three-month LIBOR. At March 31, 1998,
   three-month LIBOR was 5.63%. Periodic net cash settlements under the swap
   agreement are recorded as an adjustment to interest expense over the life of
   the agreement. Included in interest expense for the three months ended March
   31, 1998 was $13,000 of expense related to the interest rate swap agreement.
   The interest rate swap agreement matures on August 20, 1999. In the event of
   liquidation of the liability to which the interest rate swap is linked, the
   interest rate swap would be recorded at its fair market value with any change
   in such market value recorded in the period such event occurs. No interest
   rate swap agreements were outstanding at March 31, 1997.

   Net Income Per Share

   The Company adopted FAS (Financial Accounting Standards) Statement No. 128,
   "Earnings Per Share" (FAS 128), on December 31, 1997. FAS 128 requires dual
   presentation of basic and diluted net income per share on the face of the
   income statement. The Company's basic net income per share is calculated as
   net income divided by the weighted average number of shares outstanding. For
   diluted net income per share, net income is divided by the weighted average
   number of shares outstanding plus the incremental number of shares added as a
   result of common stock equivalents, calculated using the treasury stock
   method. The Company's common stock equivalents consist solely of outstanding
   stock options.

   A reconciliation of the weighted average shares outstanding used to calculate
   basic net income per share and diluted net income per share follows:

                                                                       March 31,

14. MERGER

    On December 18, 1997, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of
    Merger with and into Sovereign Bancorp. The Merger is anticipated to be
    consummated with an exchange of stock and is intended to constitute a tax
    free reorganization under the Internal Revenue Code and be accounted for as
    a pooling-of-interest under GAAP. Regulatory approvals, the approval of the
    Company's shareholders, and other conditions are required before the merger
    can be consummated.

                             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, 1998. 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.

Forward-looking Statements

         The information contained in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the
three month period ended March 31, 1998 contains forward-looking statements (as
such term is defined under Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
and the regulations thereunder), including without limitation, statements as to
trends, management's beliefs, expectations or opinions, which are based upon a
number of assumptions concerning future conditions that may ultimately prove to
be inaccurate.

         Such forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties
and may be affected by various factors which may cause actual results to differ
materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Certain of these risks,
uncertainties and other factors, are discussed in the Company's Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 1997.

Impact of the Year 2000

         The Year 2000 Issue is the result of computer programs being written
using two digits rather than four to define the applicable year. The Company's
computer programs that have time sensitive software may recognize a date using
"00" as the year 1900 rather that the year 2000. This could result in a system
failure or miscalculations causing disruptions of operations, including the
inability to process transactions or engage in other normal business activities.

         The Company determined that the third party vendors with which the
Company contracts will be required to modify or replace portions of software and
hardware so that the Company's computer systems will function properly with
respect to dates in the year 2000 and thereafter. The Company believes that with
modifications or replacements to existing software and hardware and conversions
to new software and hardware, the Year 2000 Issue will not pose significant
operational problems for its computer systems. However, if such modifications
and conversions are not made, or are not completed timely, the Year 2000 Issue
could have a material impact on operations.

         The Company developed a comprehensive list of software and hardware
used by the Company. Every vendor was contacted regarding the Year 2000 Issue.
The Company was tracking the progress each vendor was making in resolving the
problems associated with the Year 2000 Issue. The Company's primary vendor
developed a plan for all its customers to participate.

         The Company planned to utilize internal and external sources to
identify, test, reprogram or replace software for year 2000 modifications.
However, in anticipation of the merger with Sovereign, the year 2000 project was
suspended. After the merger with Sovereign, existing loan and deposit processing
functions will be

                                       11

<PAGE>



processed within Sovereign's processing systems. Sovereign plans to make changes
to the Company's loan and deposit processing during the first quarter of 1999.
There can be no guarantee that the merger will be approved and the data
processing conversion will be completed as planned. It is not certain that the
systems on which Sovereign rely will be timely converted for year 2000 and that
there will be no adverse effect on operations.

         If the merger is not completed as planned, the Company believes that
there is sufficient time remaining to address the year 2000 Issue as a stand
alone company. The costs associated with modifying existing systems applications
would be expensed as incurred. The Company does not expect costs associated with
application modifications for year 2000 compliance to be material. Since the
remaining time period is limited, availability and cost of personnel trained in
the area is unknown, and the full extent of the Year 2000 Issue may not have
been identified, the current estimate of cost could increase.

Net Income

         The Company earned $1,206,000, or $.45 per share, for the three month
period ended March 31, 1998 compared to $1,298,000, or $.48 per share, for the
three month period ended March 31, 1997. Net income decreased $92,000, or 7.1%,
for the three months ended March 31, 1998 as compared to the same period in
1997. The decrease was attributable to increases in total operating expenses of
$177,000 offset by an increase in net interest income of $63,000. The increases
in total operating expense were primarily the result of increases related to
salaries and employee benefits, real estate operations and merger costs of
$106,000, $59,000 and $21,000, respectively.

Net Interest Income

         Net interest income for the three month period ended March 31, 1998
totaled $3,891,000 compared to $3,828,000 for the three month period ended March
31, 1997, a $63,000, or 1.6%, increase. The increase in net interest income for
the three months ended March 31, 1998 was attributable to growth in net
interest-earning assets of $5,747,000 and was offset by a decline in net
interest margin. Average interest-earning assets increased by $35,107,000 for
the three month period ended March 31, 1998 as compared to the prior year.
Average interest-bearing liabilities increased by $29,360,000 for the three
month period ended March 31, 1998 as compared to the prior year. The increase in
average interest-earning assets was primarily attributable to the purchase of
mortgaged-backed securities which increased by $31,939,000 from the prior year.
The increase in average interest-bearing liabilities was attributable to an
increase in deposits of $29,967,000 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 margin of .16% to 2.97% in March 1998 from
3.13% in March 1997.

         The following table sets forth information for the three month periods
ended March 31, 1998 and March 31, 1997 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.
The table is not presented on a tax equivalent basis because the Company's
investment in tax-free obligations is insignificant.

    securities, and Federal Home Loan Bank stock.

Provision for Credit Losses

         The provision for credit losses were $100,000 for the three month
periods ended March 31, 1998 and 1997. As of March 31, 1998, the allowance for
credit losses totaled $3,626,000, or 1.30%, of total loans including loans held
for sale compared to $3,757,000, or 1.41%, of total loans at March 31, 1997.

Other Income

         Other income remained constant for the three months ended March 31,
1998 from the comparable period of 1997. The elimination of the accretion of
excess of fair value over cost of $62,000 was offset by increases in service
charges and other fees of $47,000 and an increase in profits relating to the
sale of investment securities held for trading and loans held for sale to
$71,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 from $57,000 during the
comparable period in the prior year.

Operating Expenses

General and Administrative Expense - General and administrative expenses
increased $96,000, or 4.6%, for the three months ended March 31, 1998 from the
comparable period of 1997. The increase in general and administrative expenses
for the three months ended March 31, 1998 was attributable to an increase of
$106,000 in salaries and benefits and $32,000 in occupancy and equipment costs
associated with the operation and administration of customer services. These
increases were offset by a decrease of $43,000 in miscellaneous operating
expenses for the three month period ended March 31, 1998 to $557,000 from
$600,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 1997.

Real Estate Operations, Net - Net real estate operations expense increased
$59,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 from the comparable period of
1997. This increase resulted from the net losses of $50,000 and costs of $31,000
associated with the liquidation of real estate owned properties. During the
three months ended March 31, 1997 profits of $9,000 and costs of $31,000 were
incurred.

Merger Costs - Merger costs of $26,000 were incurred for the three months ended
March 31, 1998 in connection with the pending acquisition of the company by
Sovereign Bancorp. See note 14 of the accompanying financial statements for
additional information.

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, 1998 and March 31, 1997 amortization was $29,000 and $28,000,
respectively.

Income Tax Expense

         Income tax expense decreased $22,000, or 3.3%, for the three months
ended March 31, 1998 as compared to the same period in 1997. Pre-tax income
decreased $114,000, or 5.8%, from the comparable period of 1997.

Financial Condition

         Total assets increased to $545,775,000 on March 31, 1998 from
$537,798,000 as of December 31, 1997, an increase of 5.9% on an annualized
basis. This increase was mainly attributable to an increase in mortgage-backed
securities. From December 31, 1997 to March 31, 1998 mortgage-backed securities
increased by $17,898,000. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in
investment securities of $7,074,000.

         Total liabilities increased to $507,599,000 on March 31, 1998 from
$500,413,000 as of December 31, 1997, an increase of 5.7% on an annualized
basis. Deposits increased to $328,249,000 on March 31, 1998 from $326,043,000 on
December 31, 1997. This increase was due to increases in now accounts and
certificates of deposit. From December 31, 1997 to March 31, 1998, NOW accounts
increased by $1,326,000 and certificates of deposits increased by $1,134,000.
Borrowings increased to $175,928,000 on March 31, 1998 from $171,829,000 on
December 31, 1997. This increase was primarily used to fund the increase in
mortgage-backed securities.

         Shareholders' equity increased to $38,176,000 on March 31, 1998 from
$37,385,000 as of December 31, 1997. This increase was primarily the result of

Asset Quality

         The Company's non-performing assets consist of non-accrual loans and
real estate owned. The following table sets forth information regarding
non-performing assets. At March 31, 1998 two past due loans of more than 90 days
with balances totaling $197,000 were accruing interest. These loans are in the
process of being refinanced by another financial institution. These loans are
anticipated to be repaid during the second quarter of 1998.

         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 overall liquidity percentage requirement is currently 4% of certain
net withdrawable deposits and borrowings payable in one year or less. The
Company exceeded its liquidity requirement at March 31, 1998.

         At March 31, 1998, the Company had approximately $16,917,000 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 interest rate risk. The strategy
includes the origination and purchase of adjustable rate mortgage (ARM) loans,
the purchase of 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

                                       15

<PAGE>



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, 1998 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.

Interest Rate Sensitivity

         In evaluating the Company's exposure to interest rate sensitivity,
certain limitations inherent in the method of analysis must be considered. For
example, although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or
periods for repricing, they may react in different degrees to changes in market
interest rates. Also, the interest rates on certain types of assets and
liabilities may fluctuate in advance of changes in market interest rates, while
interest rates on other types may lag behind changes in market rates.
Additionally, certain assets, such as adjustable rate mortgage loans, have
features which restrict changes in interest rates in the short-term and over the
life of the asset. Further, in the event of a change in interest rates,
prepayment on loans and early withdrawals on certificates of deposit may deviate
significantly from those assumed. Finally, the ability of many borrowers to
service their debt may decrease in the event of an interest rate increase. The
Company considers these factors in monitoring its exposure to interest rate
sensitivity. The Company believes no material changes occurred in the three
month period ended March 31, 1998 from the information presented in the
Company's 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1997.
