was accounted for as a purchase, with its assets and results
of operations included from that date. Garden State Bancshares,
Inc. was acquired on January 16, 1996, and the Flemington
National Bank and Trust Company was acquired on February 23,
1996. Both of these smaller acquisitions were accounted for
as poolings of interest and were recorded as adjustments to
beginning shareholders' equity at January 1, 1996. With the
March 1, 1996 acquisition of the Summit Bancorporation, the
Company changed its name to Summit Bancorp. This acquisition

of operations.

of Merger with Collective Bancorp, Inc. ("Collective")
