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


FINANCIAL CONDITION

JUNE 30, 1995 VERSUS DECEMBER 31, 1994

At June 30,1995, total assets were $15.4 billion unchanged from
year-end 1994, as the decline in the investment portfolio was 
offset by an increase in total loans.

Investment securities at June 30, 1995 were $3.8 billion, a
decrease of $285.3 million or 7.0 percent from year-end 1994. 
The decline from year-end 1994 was the result of $334.7 million
in maturities, partially offset by $45.9 million in purchases.
This portfolio is recorded at amortized cost.  At June 30, 1995,
the aggregate market value of the investment portfolio was $3.8
billion which represented 99.0 percent of the carrying value. 
The aggregate market value at December 31, 1994 was $3.9 billion
or 95.3 percent of the carrying value. 

At June 30, 1995, investment securities available for sale,
reported at fair value, amounted to $227.4 million. These
securities increased $26.2 million or 13.0 percent from year-end
1994, and comprised $118.3 million of U.S. Government and agency
collateralized mortgage obligations and $109.1 million of other
securities.  During the first six months of 1995, $35.7 million
of securities were purchased, offset by maturities of $6.6
million and sales of $3.0 million. 

At June 30, 1995, total loans amounted to $9.8 billion and
increased $110.0 million or 1.1 percent from year-end 1994.
Mortgage loans increased $134.7 million or 4.8 percent from
December 31, 1994 to $2.9 billion at June 30, 1995.  Instalment
loans increased $54.6 million or 2.4 percent from year-end 1994
to $2.3 billion. Partially offsetting these increases,
commercial loans decreased $79.2 million or 1.7 percent to $4.5
billion at June 30, 1995. 

Total deposits were $12.7 billion at June 30, 1995, an increase
of $120.6 million or 1.0 percent from December 31, 1994. Retail
savings and time deposits increased $102.0 million or 1.1
percent from December 31, 1994 to $9.0 billion.  Demand deposits
increased $17.1 million or .5 percent from year-end 1994 to $3.3
billion.  Commercial certificates of deposit $100,000 and over
were $372.7 million, an increase of $1.5 million or .4 percent
compared to December 31, 1994.

Borrowed funds, including commercial paper and long-term debt,
at June 30, 1995 decreased $205.9 million or 13.4 percent from
December 31, 1994 to $1.3 billion.  Cash flows from maturities
and principal pay downs on  investment securities were used to
reduce the level of borrowed funds from year-end 1994.   

                             -2-

<PAGE>
Total shareholders' equity increased $59.3 million or 5.4
percent from December 31, 1994 to $1.2 billion.  Unrealized
gains and losses on investment securities were recorded net of
taxes as a separate component of shareholders' equity.  As of
June 30, 1995, the unrealized loss recorded in equity amounted
to $4.4 million, compared to $9.2 million from year-end 1994. 
Under the risk-based capital guidelines, the Tier I leverage
ratio of the Company was 7.49 percent at June 30, 1995, 
compared to 7.02 percent at December 31, 1994.   The Company's
Tier I capital was 9.82 percent and total capital was 12.62
percent at June 30, 1995, compared with 9.27 percent and 12.04
percent, respectively, at December 31, 1994. The current minimum
regulatory guideline for the Tier I leverage ratio is 4.0
percent for institutions that have a regulatory rating of two or
more. The current minimum regulatory guidelines for Tier I and
total capital ratios are 4.0 percent and 8.0 percent,
respectively.

JUNE 30, 1995 VERSUS JUNE 30, 1994

Compared to June 30, 1994, total assets increased $622.7 million
or 4.2 percent.  Included in this increase was the impact of the
purchase acquisition of Palisade, consummated on September 16,
1994.  Palisade had total assets of $324.2 million, loans of
$164.8 million and deposits of $266.7 million. 

At June 30, 1995, investment securities available for sale
increased $34.8 million or 18.1 percent from the prior year. As
a result of the acquisition of Palisade, $121.6 million of
securities were added to the portfolio, most of which were
subsequently sold.  Investment securities at June 30, 1995
decreased $446.7 million or 10.5 percent from June 30, 1994. 
This decrease was primarily the result of maturities. 

Compared to June 30, 1994, total loans increased $675.4 million
or 7.4 percent.  Mortgage loans increased $446.2 million or 18.0
percent.  The Palisade acquisition represented $157.5 million of
this mortgage loan increase.  Compared to June 30, 1994,
instalment loans increased $142.3 million or 6.6 percent. 
Commercial loans increased $86.9 million or 1.9 percent.  

Total deposits increased $838.0 million or 7.1 percent from a
year ago.  The Palisade acquisition accounted for $266.7 million
of this increase.  Compared to June 30, 1994, demand deposits
increased $298.2 million or 10.0 percent and retail savings and
time deposits increased $465.5 million or 5.4 percent.
Commercial certificates of deposit $100,000 and over increased
$74.3 million or 24.9 percent from the prior year.   

Compared to June 30, 1994, borrowed funds decreased $349.1
million or 20.8 percent.   This decline represented principal
repayments on long-term debt and a decrease of treasury tax and
loan deposits.

                             -3-

NON-PERFORMING LOANS AND OTHER REAL ESTATE OWNED

Non-performing loans were $192.2 million at June 30, 1995, or
1.97 percent of total loans compared to $167.6 million at
year-end 1994, or 1.74 percent of total loans.  At June 30,
1994, non-performing loans were $226.9 million or 2.50 percent
of total loans.  Non-performing loans increased from year-end
1994 principally due to the inclusion of one large construction
loan relationship during the second quarter of 1995.  Non-performing
loans also increased partially due to the adoption of Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 114, Accounting by
Creditors for Impairment of a Loan (SFAS No. 114).  This
statement was adopted prospectively by the Company on January 1,
1995.  SFAS No. 114 requires in-substance foreclosures to be
classified as non-performing loans.  Prior period balances have
not been restated as the amounts have been deemed immaterial. 
The implementation of this statement resulted in a
reclassification of $6.4 million, net of specific reserves of
$3.8 million, from other real estate owned (OREO) to
non-performing loans.  	

The Company has defined the population of impaired loans to be
all non-accrual loans.  At June 30, 1995, the total impaired
loan portfolio was $192.2 million for which general and specific
allocations to the allowance for loan losses of $30.3 million
were identified.  Interest collections on non-accrual loans are
generally credited to interest income when received.  However,
if ultimate collectibility of the principal is in doubt,
interest collections are applied as principal reductions.  The
amount of cash basis interest income that was recognized on
impaired loans at June 30, 1995 was $1.2 million.  

Compared to June 30, 1994, non-performing loans were down $34.8
million. The reduction in non-performing loans compared to June
30, 1994 reflected ongoing workout efforts, as well as the
year-end 1994 transfer of certain accruing and non-accruing
loans to assets held for accelerated disposition. The following
table summarizes the trends in the components of non-performing
loans (dollars in thousands):

At June 30, 1995, OREO was $22.9 million, net of an $11.4
million allowance.  OREO decreased $8.6 million since December
31, 1994 and $47.0 million since June 30, 1994.  These declines
were in part the result of a transfer of assets  from OREO to

                             -4-

<PAGE>

assets held for accelerated disposition at year-end 1994 and the
SFAS No. 114 reclassification of in-substance foreclosures from OREO
to non-performing loans.

Assets held for accelerated disposition at June 30, 1995 were
$30.0 million, a decrease of $60.9 million from December 31,
1994  primarily due to sales during the year.  The December 31,
1994 balance of $90.9 million reflects the transfer of assets
from accruing and non-accruing loans and OREO.  These assets
were identified for bulk sale in order to accelerate the
resolution of non-performing loans and OREO. 

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

The allowance for loan losses at June 30, 1995 was $199.0
million or 2.04 percent of loans, compared to $214.2 million or
2.22 percent of loans at December 31, 1994 and $238.6 million or
2.62 percent of loans at June 30, 1994.  For the three months
ended June 30, 1995, net charge offs were $22.5 million or .93
percent of average loans compared to $21.3 million, or .96
percent the previous year.  This compares to net charge offs of
$23.4 million, or .98 percent, in the first quarter of 1995. 
For the six months ended June 30, 1995, net charge offs were
$45.9 million, or .96 percent of average loans compared to $42.5
million, or .97 percent the previous year.  

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

For the second quarter of 1995, net income was $40.3 million or
$.72 per share compared with net income of $28.7 million or $.52
per share earned during the second quarter of 1994.  Net income
for the six months ended June 30, 1995 was $80.3 million
compared with $57.3 million for the first half of 1994.  On a
per share basis, net income for the six months ended June 30,
1995 was $1.44 compared to $1.03 for the same period in 1994. 
The results for the six  months of 1994 were impacted by the
adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 112,
Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits (SFAS No. 112),
which had the effect of reducing net income by $1.7 million or
$.03 per share. 

Interest income on a tax-equivalent basis was $548.5 million for
the six months ended June 30, 1995, an increase of $89.0 million
or 19.4 percent compared to the same period in 1994. The
increase in interest income was due to the rise in interest
rates and growth in the loan portfolio. For the first six months
of 1995, the average prime rate was 8.91 percent compared to
6.46 percent for the prior year period. The increase in rates
contributed $33.5 million and the increase in volume provided an
additional $50.4 million to interest income on loans.  Interest
earning assets averaged $13.9 billion during the first six
months of 1995, an increase of $597.6 million or 4.5 percent
over the same period of 1994.

Interest expense increased $64.2 million or 41.3 percent for the
six months ended June 30, 1995 compared to the same period in
1994.  This increase reflects the rise in interest rates and the
resultant increased cost of retail savings and time deposits. 

                             -5-

<PAGE>

In addition, there was a disintermediation of funds from savings
and other lower costing deposits to higher costing retail
certificates of deposit.  Interest expense on retail savings and
time deposits increased $40.3 million or 35.4 percent, which
includes an increase in retail certificates of deposit of $32.4
million or 86.1 percent.  In addition, the increase in interest
expense on borrowed funds and commercial certificates of deposit
$100,000 and over, was $15.3 million and $8.6 million,
respectively, over the 1994 six-month period. On average
borrowed funds were $1.4 billion during the first six months of
1995, a decrease of $135.9 million. Commercial certificates of
deposit $100,000 and over increased $176.7 million over the
comparable period in 1994.

Net interest income on a tax-equivalent basis was $328.6 million
for the first six months of 1995 compared with $303.9 million
for the six months ended June 30, 1994, an increase of $24.7
million or 8.1 percent. The net interest spread percentage on a 
tax-equivalent basis (the difference between the rate earned on
average interest earning assets and the rate paid on average
interest bearing liabilities) was 3.85 percent for the six
months ended June 30, 1995 compared to 3.95 percent for the
prior year period.  Net interest margin (net interest income on
a tax-equivalent basis as a percentage of average interest
earning assets) was 4.76 percent during the first six months of
1995 compared to 4.60 percent during the same period in 1994.
The increase in net interest margin reflected the benefits from
an improved asset mix and favorable spreads between loan yields
and deposit costs.

Asset and liability management efforts involve the use of
certain derivative financial instruments.  At June 30, 1995, the
notional value of this derivative financial instruments
portfolio consisted of $880.3 million of interest rate swaps. 
Interest rate swaps are contractual agreements between two
parties to exchange interest payments at particular intervals. 
These swaps are accounted for as hedges and are not recorded on
the balance sheet.  Income or expense related to these
instruments is accrued monthly and recognized as an adjustment
to interest income or interest expense for those balance sheet
instruments being hedged.  Hedged transactions resulted in a net
interest income reduction of $4.6 million for the first six
months of 1995, compared to a $2.4 million contribution in the
comparable period in 1994.  The market value of these contracts
at June 30, 1995 was negative $9.9 million compared to negative
$28.0 million at March 31, 1995 and negative $52.0 million at
December 31, 1994.

The provision for loan losses for the quarter ended June 30,
1995 was $15.8 million, compared with $18.5 million for the same
period a year earlier.  On a year-to-date basis, the provision
was $30.8 million, a decline of $6.3 million or 16.9 percent,
compared with the first half of 1994. 

Non-interest income, including securities transactions, for the
second quarter of 1995 totaled $43.7 million, an increase of
$4.4 million or 11.2 percent compared with the second quarter of
1994. For the six months ended June 30, 1995, non-interest

                             -6-

<PAGE>

income totaled $85.1 million, an increase of $5.4 million or 6.8
percent from the prior year period. Effective this quarter,
merchant credit card and ATM fees are recorded net of related
processing expenses.  Amounts for prior periods have been
reclassified for comparative purposes. 

Service and loan fee income for the second quarter of 1995
increased $.6 million or 9.5 percent compared with the same
period a year earlier.  Service and loan fee income increased
$1.0 million or 7.8 percent during the six month period ended
June 30, 1995 compared to the corresponding period in 1994. 
This increase was primarily due to higher commercial loan fees
and merchant bank card processing fees.  Trust fee income
declined $.4 million or 3.3 percent during the first half of
1995 compared to the same period in 1994.  

Other income for the second quarter of 1995 was $12.8 million,
an increase of $2.2 million or 21.1 percent.  For the first six
months of 1995, other income was $23.9 million, an increase of
$2.1 million or 9.5 percent. These increases can be attributable
primarily to the gains on the sales of several branches during the
second quarter of 1995.

For the second quarter of 1995, net gains of $2.0 million on the
sales of investment securities were realized compared with net
gains of $.5 million over the prior year period.  For the first
six months of 1995, net gains were $4.2 million, compared with
net gains of $1.8 million for the first six months in 1994. 
These gains were recognized as $3.0 million of securities were
sold out of the available-for-sale portfolio during the first 
half of 1995.

Non-interest expenses for the second quarter of 1995 totaled
$124.8 million, up $.6 million, or .5 percent compared to the
second quarter of 1994 and for the six months ended June 30,
1995 were $250.2 million, an increase of $5.7 million or 2.3
percent from the 1994 six month period.

Salaries expense increased $3.5 million or 7.8 percent during
the second quarter of 1995 compared to the second quarter of
1994 and rose $7.6 million or 8.6 percent during the first half
of 1995 compared to the corresponding period in 1994.  More than
half of the increase was attributable to merit increases, which
included salary adjustments recorded in connection with the
reorganization along lines of business.  In addition, salaries
expense in the first half of 1995 reflected the Palisade
purchase acquisition and higher levels of commission and
fee-based compensation.  Pension and other employee benefits for
the second quarter of 1995 were $16.0 million, up $2.5 million
or 18.8 percent compared with the second quarter of 1994.  These
expenses were $31.9 million for the six months ended June 30,
1995, up $4.5 million or 16.3 percent compared to the
corresponding period in 1994.  These increases reflected higher
payroll taxes, pension and other postemployment benefit costs.

                             -7-

<PAGE>
Occupancy expenses for the second quarter of 1995 increased $.5
million or 4.5 percent compared to the prior year period. These
expenses were $26.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 1995
and remained relatively unchanged compared to the corresponding
period in 1994.  Furniture and equipment expense rose $.4
million or 3.5 percent for the second quarter of 1995, and $1.1
million or 4.5 percent during the first half of 1995 when
compared with the corresponding periods in 1994.   

Other real estate owned expenses were $2.0 million for the
second quarter of 1995, a decrease of $3.5 million or 63.3
percent from the second quarter of 1994.  On a year-to-date
basis, other real estate owned expenses were $3.7 million for
1995 compared to $9.6 million for 1994.  Included in these
amounts was a provision for losses on other real estate owned and
expenses related to holding property.  A provision of $.9
million for the second quarter of 1995 and $2.3 million for the
six months of 1995 was added to the allowance for other real estate
owned.  This compares to a provision of $3.5 million for the
second quarter of 1994 and $5.9 million for the first half of
1994.   Expenses for operating and maintaining other real estate
owned amounted to $1.1 million for the second quarter of 1995 and
$1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 1995, compared with
$2.0 million and $3.7 million respectively for the corresponding
periods in 1994. The decline in these expenses reflect the
benefits generated from the ongoing workout efforts.

LIQUIDITY

Liquidity is the ability to meet the borrowing needs and deposit
withdrawal requirements of customers and support asset growth. 
Principal sources of liquidity are deposit generation, access to
purchased funds, maturities and repayments of loans and
investment securities and interest and fee income.  

The consolidated statements of cash flows present the change in
cash and cash equivalents from operating, investing and
financing activities.  During the first half of 1995, net cash
provided by operating activities totaled $212.3 million. 
Contributing to net cash provided by operating activities were
the results of operations adjusted for the provisions for loan
losses and other real estate owned, and proceeds from the sales
of mortgages held for sale.  Net cash provided by investing
activities totaled $112.4 million and was the result of
investment and loan activity.  Net cash used in financing
activities totaled $111.2 million, reflecting the reductions in
borrowed funds offset by a net increase in deposits from
year-end 1994.

During the first six months of 1995, proceeds of $341.3 million
from maturities in the investment portfolio, including
investment securities available for sale, an increase of $102.0
million in savings and time deposits and an increase in demand
deposits of $17.1 million contributed to liquidity. Offsetting
these sources, were increases in total loans of $110.0 million,
purchases of investment securities, including available for
sale, totaling $81.6 million and a decrease of $205.9 million in
borrowed funds.

                             -8-

<PAGE>
Additional liquidity is generated from maturities and principal
repayments in the investment portfolio.  Scheduled maturities
and anticipated principal repayments of the investment portfolio
will approximate $280 million throughout the balance of 1995. 
In addition, all or part of the investment securities available
for sale of $227.4 million could be sold to provide liquidity. 
These sources can be used to meet the funding needs during
periods of loan growth.  Liquidity is also available through
additional lines of credit and the ability to incur additional
debt.  At June 30, 1995, there were $40.0 million of short-term
lines of credit available for general corporate purposes, with
no outstandings.  In addition, the banking subsidiaries have
established lines of credit with the Federal Reserve Bank and
the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York  which further support
and enhance liquidity.

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
--------------------------

In re Payroll Express Corporation of New York and Payroll
---------------------------------------------------------
Express Corporation, United States Bankruptcy Court for the
-------------------
Southern District of New York, Case Nos. 92-B-43149 (CB) and
92-B-43150 (CB), filed June 5, 1992.

Reported on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 1994 and
on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 1995.  The Trustee
in Bankruptcy for Payroll Express Corporation has settled his
claim against the primary insurance carrier for Payroll (Lloyds)
for the policy limits of $1 million and will seek bankruptcy
court approval of the settlement on August 3, 1995.  The Trustee
has commenced litigation against certain insurance companies
which had issued fidelity insurance policies to Payroll.

United Jersey Bank has filed a motion to dismiss the Complaints
in the Beth Israel and the Frederick Goldman lawsuits for
       -----------         -----------------
failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted.  The
motion is pending.

On May 19, 1995, the New York City Transit Authority filed a
Complaint against United Jersey Bank captioned New York City
                                               -------------
Transit Authority v. United Jersey Bank and National Westminster
----------------------------------------------------------------
Bank New Jersey in the United States District Court for the
---------------
Southern District of New York under Civil Action No. 95-3685. 
The Complaint, which alleges causes of action sounding in
conversion, aiding and abetting conversion, fraud, constructive
fraud, constructive trust, unjust enrichment, monies had and
received, restitution of payments by mistake, and negligence,
seeks the recovery of approximately $2 million plus
consequential and punitive damages from the defendant banks. 
United Jersey Bank has filed a motion for a more definite
statement as to certain allegations of the Complaint. This
Complaint is substantially similar to the complaints of other
Payroll Express customers described in the Forms 10-K and 10-Q
referred to above.

ITEM 5.  OTHER EVENTS.
----------------------

On August 2, 1995, the Company announced a definitive merger
agreement to acquire The Flemington National Bank and Trust
Company with total assets of approximately $288 million.  The
merger is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 1996.

In addition, the Company successfully completed the acquisition
of Bancorp New Jersey, Inc. (Bancorp) on July 11, 1995 which was
accounted for under the purchase method.  The proforma results
of operations for the period January 1, 1995 to July 10, 1995
and for the year ended December 31, 1994, assuming Bancorp had
been acquired as of January 1, 1994 would not have been
significantly different from those presented in the Consolidated
Statements of Income.
