                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                            June 30, 1999 (UNAUDITED)

1. SVB Financial Services,  Inc., (the "Company"),  a bank holding company,  was
incorporated on February 7, 1996 with authorized capital of 10,000,000 shares of
$4.17 par value common  stock.  On September 3, 1996,  the Company  acquired 100
percent of the shares of  Somerset  Valley  Bank (the  "Bank") by  exchanging  6
shares of its Common Stock for each 5 shares of the Bank. This exchange has been
accounted for as a reorganization of entities under common control, similar to a
pooling of interests,  which resulted in no changes to the  underlying  carrying
amounts  of assets  and  liabilities.  Effective  April 16,  1998,  the  Company
declared a 2 for 1 stock split, resulting in a $2.09 par value common stock, and
a change in the authorized shares to $20 million.

         The  consolidated   financial  statements  included  herein  have  been
prepared  without  an  audit  pursuant  to  the  rules  and  regulations  of the
Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures
normally included in financial  statements prepared in accordance with generally
accepted  accounting  principles  have been  omitted  pursuant to such rules and
regulations.   The  accompanying  condensed  consolidated  financial  statements
reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management,  necessary to a
fair  statement  of  the  results  for  the  interim  periods  presented.   Such
adjustments  are of a normal  recurring  nature.  These  consolidated  condensed
financial  statements  should be read in conjunction with the audited  financial
statements and the notes thereto.  The results for the six months ended June 30,
1999 are not necessarily  indicative of the results that may be expected for the
year ended December 31, 1999.

         The consolidated  financial statements include the accounts of Somerset
Valley Bank. All significant  inter-company  accounts and transactions have been
eliminated.

2.       Loans

         At June 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998 the  composition  of outstanding

  3.     Allowance for Possible Loan Losses

         The  allowance  for  possible  loan  losses is based on  estimates  and
ultimate  losses  may vary  from the  current  estimates.  These  estimates  are
reviewed periodically and as adjustments become necessary, they are reflected in
operations  in the  period  in which  they  become  known.  An  analysis  of the
allowance for possible loan losses is as follows:

4.       New Accounting Pronouncement

         On  January 1, 1998,  the  Company  adopted  SFAS No.  130,  "Reporting
Comprehensive Income." This standard requires entities presenting a complete set
of  financial   statements   to  include   details  of   comprehensive   income.
Comprehensive  income  consists of net income or loss for the current period and
income,  expenses,  gains,  and losses that bypass the income  statement and are
reported directly in a separate component of equity.  These financial statements
have been reclassified to reflect the provisions of SFAS No. 130.

         On January 1, 1998,  the Company  adopted  SFAS No.  131,  "Disclosures
about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information." SFAS No. 131 redefines
how  operating  segments  are  determined  and  requires  disclosure  of certain
financial and  descriptive  information  about a Company's  operating  segments.
Management has concluded that under current conditions,  the Company will report
one business segment, community banking.

         In June 1998, the Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board (FASB) issued
Statement  of  Financial  Accounting  Standards  SFAS No. 133,  "Accounting  for
Derivative   Instruments  and  Hedging   Activity."  SFAS  No.  133  establishes
accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain
derivative instruments imbedded in other contracts,  and for hedging activities.
It  requires  that an entity  recognize  all  derivatives  as  either  assets or
liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure those instruments
at fair value.  If certain  conditions are met, a derivative may be specifically
designated  as a  hedge.  The  accounting  for  changes  in the  fair  value  of
derivative  (gains and losses) depends on the intended use of the derivative and
resulting designation. Subsequent to SFAS No. 133, the FASB issued SFAS No. 137,
which  amended the effective  date of SFAS No. 133 to be all fiscal  quarters of
all fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000.  Based on the Company's  minimal
use of  derivatives  at the current time,  management  does not  anticipate  the
adoption  of SFAS  No.  133 to have a  significant  impact  on the  earnings  or
financial position of the Company.  However, the impact of adopting SFAS No. 133
will depend on the nature and purpose of the  derivative  instruments  in use by
the Company at that time.

Results of Operation
- --------------------

         Net income for the first six months of 1999 was  $549,000,  an increase
of  $65,000  or 13% as  compared  to the  same  period  in  1998.  Earnings  per
share-Basic were $.20 in 1999 as compared to $.18 in 1998. Earnings

per share - Diluted were $.19 in 1999 and $.17 in 1998.

         A detailed discussion of the major components of net income follows:

Net Interest Income
- -------------------

         Net  interest  income for the first six months of 1999 was $3.8 million
compared to $3.3 million in 1998, an increase of $538,000 or 17%.

         Almost all of the increase can be  attributed to an increase in average
earnings  assets.  Average  earning assets for the first six months of 1999 were
$175.8  million an increase of $31.1 million or 21% from the first six months of
1998.  Loans accounted for 67% of this increase as loans averaged $128.3 million
during the six months.  The increase in loan balances  caused interest income to
increase $849,000.  Partially offsetting this, the yield on loans decreased from
9.11%, to 8.53%,  mainly due to two quarter point drops in the prime rate in the
latter half of 1998 and increased  competition in the market place. The decrease
in the yield  caused  interest  income on loans to decrease  $281,000.  Overall,
interest income  increased  $779,000.  The yield on earning assets was 7.73% for
1999 and 8.30% for 1998.
<PAGE>
         The overall cost of interest-bearing  liabilities decreased forty-seven
basis  points  from 4.68% to 4.21%,  which  resulted  in a decrease  in interest
expense of $167,000.  Offsetting this, total interest bearing deposits increased
$24.6  million  during the six months of 1999 to $140.8  million,  of which time
deposits  accounted for 40% of this  increase.  The increase in deposits  caused
interest  expense to increase  $407,000.  Overall,  interest  expense  increased
$241,000,  however,  the cost of funding earning assets  decreased from 3.77% in
1998 to 3.38% in 1999.

                                       -9-
<PAGE>
         The net result of the change in net  interest  income for the first six
months of 1999 versus the first six months of 1998 was an increase of  $538,000.
The net interest margin decreased eighteen points from a 4.53% to a 4.35%.

Provision for Loan Possible Losses
- ----------------------------------

         The  provision  for possible  loan losses was $180,000 in the first six
months of 1999 as  compared  to  $135,000  in the first six months of 1998.  The
increase  in  provision  can  be  attributed  to  an  increase  in  loans  which
experienced a net increase of $21.1 million since June 30, 1998.

Other Income

         During the first six months of 1999, other income increased  $31,000 or
10% over the same period in 1998.  Service charges on deposit accounts increased
$38,000  or 28% from the same  period  last  year.  The  growth in the number of
commercial  and consumer  checking  accounts  resulted in  increased  overdraft,
account  maintenance  and wire transfer fees.  Foreign  transaction  fees at the
Company's ATM machines  accounted for 35% of the increase in service  charges on
deposits.

         Gains  on the  sale  of  loans  decreased  $35,000.  The  Company  is a
preferred  SBA  lender  and,  as such,  it  originates  SBA  loans and sells the
government  guaranteed  portions in the  secondary  market while  retaining  the
servicing.  The  amount of gains  recognized  on SBA loans is  dependent  on the
volume of new SBA loans  generated  each  quarter.  The amounts can vary greatly
from quarter to quarter and from year to year.

         The Company had a net $5,000 in loss from the sale of securities during
the first six months of 1999.  The Company  will  periodically  sell some of its
available  for sale  securities  for  varying  reasons.  These  reasons  include
achieving additional liquidity to meet increasing loan demand. Such was the case
during the past quarter.

         Other income increased $33,000 or 58% compared to 1998. The Company was
approved by FNMA to sell mortgage loans late in the third quarter of 1998, which
resulted in an increase of $17,000 or 280% in mortgage fees.  Additionally fees,
related to the servicing of SBA loans as described above, increased 43% over the
same period for last year.

Other Expense
- -------------

         Other  expenses  for the six  months  ended  June  30,  1999  increased
$471,000 or 18% from the same period in 1998. In the first quarter of 1998,  the
Company opened two branches,  one located on Gaston Avenue in Somerville and one
in the assisted living  facility in Arbor Glen in  Bridgewater.  A new branch in
Manville  was  opened  in the  first  quarter  of 1999.  Additionally,  expenses
involved  with the  plans for two more  branches;  one in  Aberdeen,  and one in
Bernards Township, have been incurred. Expenses have been impacted by additional
personnel,  occupancy costs and other expenses related to the opening of the new
branches.  Consequently, total assets have grown $36.3 million or 22% since June
30, 1998.  Because of the growth in assets and in offices,  the Company has also
had to hire additional  lending and back-office  personnel to better service its
<PAGE>
customer base.  These  additions  combined with normal salary  increases  caused
salary and benefits expense to increase  $185,000 or 14% from last year. Rent on
the newly opened locations and the potential branch site locations  coupled with
depreciation  on other  facilities  resulted  in a $104,000  or 34%  increase in
occupancy expenses.  Purchases of equipment for new employees and the additional
branches  increased  equipment  expense  $27,000  or 15% from last  year.  Other
expenses  increased  from last year  $155,000 or 20%.  Much of this increase was
related to the growth of the Company which  affected many areas,  but especially
data processing costs, and other outsourced services.

Financial Condition
June 30, 1999 compared to December 31, 1998
- -------------------------------------------

         Total  assets  increased  $13.6  million or 7% from  December 31, 1998.
Total loans  increased  $14.3  million.  Loans secured by real estate  increased
$17.3 million.  Residential  mortgage loans  increased $9.0 million.  Commercial
mortgages increased $7.2 million. Loans to individuals declined by $2.8 million.

         Deposits increased $13.4 million or 8% during the first six months. All
deposit  categories  have  increased  at June 30, 1999  compared to December 31,
1998.  The two largest  increases  were demand  deposits at $5.0 million and NOW
accounts at $4.6 million.

         Investment  securities  decreased  $4.5 million.  The current  treasury
yield curve, anticipated loan growth, and fluctuation in demand deposit balances
has caused a shift from  securities to short term  investments,  such as Federal
Funds sold and time deposits due from banks.

Asset Quality

         There were no loans past due 90 days or more and still  accruing  as of
June 30, 1999.  Loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing as of December
31, 1998 were $5,000.

         Loans in a  non-accrual  status  totaled  $298,000 at June 30, 1999 and
$96,000 at December 31, 1998 and represented  .22% of total loans as of June 30,
1999 and .08% as of December 31, 1998.

         Loans  considered to be impaired  totaled  $863,000 at June 30, 1999, a
valuation reserve of $26,000 is attributed to these loans.

         The Company had no other real estate owned at June 30, 1999.

Allowance for Possible Loan Losses
- ----------------------------------

         The  allowance  for  possible  loan  losses  is  maintained  at a level
considered  adequate  to provide for  potential  loan  losses.  The level of the
allowance  is  based on  management's  evaluation  of  potential  losses  in the
portfolio,  after  consideration  of  risk  characteristics  of  the  loans  and
prevailing and anticipated  economic  conditions.  The allowance is increased by
provisions charged to expense and reduced by charge-offs, net of recoveries.

         At June 30, 1999,  the  allowance for loans losses was  $1,334,000  and
represented .98% of total loans and 448% of non-performing  loans compared to an
allowance  for loan losses at December 31, 1998 of  $1,211,000 or 1.00% of total
loans and 1,261% of non-performing loans at December 31, 1998.

         Charge-offs for the first six months of 1999 totaled  $63,000  compared
to $80,000 for the year ended December 31, 1998.

Capital Resources
- -----------------

         Total Shareholders' Equity was $14,652,000 at June 30, 1999 compared to
$14,365,000 at December 31, 1998.

         Under the FDIC  Improvement Act of 1991, banks are required to maintain
a minimum ratio of total capital

                                      -11-
<PAGE>
to risk  based  assets  of 8% of which at least 4% must be in the form of Tier I
Capital  (primarily  Shareholders'  Equity).  The  following  are the  Company's
capital ratios at the end of the periods indicated.

                                                  June 30,          December 31,

                                                   -----               ------
Tier I Capital to Risk Weighted Assets              9.64%              10.24%
Total Capital to Risk Weighted Assets              10.55%              11.14%
Leverage Ratio                                      7.32%               8.54%

Liquidity
- ---------

         Cash and cash  equivalents  totaled  $21.0  million at June 30, 1999 an
increase of $1.4 million, since December 31, 1998.

         The increase in Cash and Cash Equivalents was primarily attributable to
an increase in deposits  which  contributed  to an increase in cash  provided by
financing  activities of $13.4 million.  Demand deposits experienced the largest
increase for the six month period of $9.6 million.

         Investing activities for the six months included proceeds from the sale
of securities and maturity of securities which totaled $19.7 million. Offsetting
these  proceeds  $32.6 million in funds were used to generate loans and purchase
securities,  interest bearing time deposits and fixed assets. Overall, investing
activities resulted in a decrease in cash of $12.9 million.

Year 2000 Disclosure
- --------------------

         The Year 2000 ("Y2K") issue is the result of computer  programs using a
two-digit  format as opposed to four digits to indicate the year.  Such computer
systems  will be unable to interpret  dates beyond the year 1999,  which cause a
system  failure  or  other  computer  errors,  leading  to  the  disruptions  in
operations.

         In 1997,  the Company formed a Year 2000 Committee to develop a plan to
address the issue.  The first phase of the plan called for  identifying all date
reliant hardware,  including  computers,  check encoders,  vaults, A/C & heating
systems, lighting systems, etc. and computer software by performing an inventory
and contacting all vendors for information regarding the Y2K compliance of their
products.  The second phase of the plan called for the replacement or upgrade of
non-compliant  hardware  or software to Y2K  compliant  status.  The third phase
called for the testing of mission  critical  hardware  and software to ascertain
Y2K compliance.  In addition,  contingency  plans are being written to allow the
continuation of operations in case of system failures.

         Phase  I   (Inventory/Assessment)   has   been   completed.   Phase  II
(Renovation/Implementation)  has been  completed  except for the  replacement of
check encoder  hardware which will take place in the fourth quarter 1999.  Phase
III  (Validation/Testing)  is completed.  Contingency  plans will continue to be
updated as necessary through year end.

         Most of the Company's  major computer  applications  (loans,  deposits,
general  ledger,  etc.) are  outsourced to Fiserv,  one of the largest bank data
processing servicers in the country.  Fiserv has a Year 2000 Plan, is performing
testing on all mission  critical  systems and interfaces,  and has developed its
<PAGE>
own contingency plans. Fiserv has completed testing of its systems. We have been
provided access to all its documentation and test results. As of this point, all
applications  served by Fiserv have been  certified  Year 2000  compliant  by an
independent auditor, hired by Fiserv's client group.

         The  Company  expects to spend  $200,000  for  equipment  upgrades  and
$30,000 for direct expense items

                                      -12-
<PAGE>
to cover  additional  Y2K charges.  As of June 30,  1999,  the Company has spent
$45,000 in equipment upgrades.  Direct expenses for Y2K were $8,000 for 1998 and
$325 for 1999.

         The Company has also made several mailings to its retail and commercial
customers to apprise them of the Y2K problem.  Y2K risk assessment has been made
a part of the Bank's  commercial loan  underwriting  procedures.  The commercial
portfolio has been reviewed and a Y2K risk assessment  made of customers.  These
customers  have been contacted and asked to complete a  questionnaire  regarding
their Y2K effort.
