Collective Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiary 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

   Collective Bancorp, Inc. and subsidiary ("Collective") follow accounting
principles and reporting practices normally followed by thrift institutions,
which are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. The more
significant accounting policies are summarized below.

Principles of Consolidation
   The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Collective and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Collective Bank. Collective's
business is conducted primarily through Collective Bank and subsidiaries
("Collective Bank"). All significant intercompany transactions and balances have
been eliminated.
   The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the dates of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during
the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
   Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and in banks, federal funds
sold and interest-bearing deposits and securities purchased under agreements to
resell with original maturities of three months or less.

Investment Policy
   Collective classifies all mortgage-backed and investment securities as either
held to maturity, available for sale, or trading in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in
Debt and Equity Securities" ("SFAS 115").
   Mortgage-backed and investment securities held to maturity are carried at
cost adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts over the
term of the related securities using the interest method. Collective has the
ability and positive intent to hold these securities to maturity, and,
accordingly, adjustments are not made for temporary declines in fair value below
amortized cost. A decline in the fair value of any held to maturity security
that is deemed other than temporary is charged to earnings. The investment in
Federal Home Loan Bank stock is carried at cost.
     Mortgage-backed and investment securities classified as available for sale
are carried at fair (market) value with unrealized gains and losses excluded
from earnings and reported in a separate component of stockholders' equity.
Realized gains and losses are reported in earnings.
   Trading securities are stated at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses are
included in earnings.

Loans Receivable
   Loans receivable, other than loans held for sale, are stated at unpaid
principal balance less unearned discounts, unamortized premiums, net deferred
loan origination and commitment fees, and the allowance for loan losses.
Discounts and premiums are recognized in income using the level-yield method
over the estimated lives of the loans.
     Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or market with any
unrealized losses charged to earnings.     
     Loan origination and commitment fees and certain direct loan origination
costs are deferred and the net fee or cost is recognized in interest income
using the level-yield method over the contractual life of the specifically
identified loans or recognized as the loans are sold or prepaid.
   At the discretion of management, Collective provides an allowance for accrued
interest on loans which are more than 90 days past due. This allowance is netted
against accrued interest receivable, which is included in other assets for
financial statement purposes. Income is subsequently recognized only to the


                                      -8-
<PAGE>
 
extent that cash payments are received and, in management's judgment, the
borrower's ability to make periodic interest and principal payments is probable,
in which case the loan is returned to accrual status.

Real Estate Acquired in Settlement of Loans
   Real estate acquired in settlement of loans is carried at the lower of fair
value, less estimated costs to sell, or cost (carrying value or fair value at
the date of acquisition). Specific valuation allowances on real estate owned are
recorded through a charge to earnings if there is a further deterioration in
fair value. Subsequent costs directly related to the completion of construction
or improvement of the real estate are capitalized to the extent realizable.
Gains and losses on sale of real estate are recognized upon disposition of the
property to the extent allowable based on accounting requirements. Carrying
costs, such as maintenance, interest, and taxes, are charged to operations as
incurred.

Land, Office Buildings, and Equipment
   Land, office buildings, and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated
depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line
method based on the estimated useful life of the related asset. The cost of
leasehold improvements is amortized over the estimated life of the improvement
or the term of the lease, whichever is shorter. The asset cost and accumulated
depreciation or amortization for property retirements and disposals are
eliminated from the respective accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is
included in income. The costs of maintenance and repairs are charged to
operating expense as incurred. The cost of major additions and improvements is
capitalized.

Income Taxes
   Collective files a consolidated federal income tax return and separate state
tax returns. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("SFAS 109"), deferred income tax expense or
benefit is determined by recognizing deferred tax assets and liabilities for the
estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the
financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and
their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured
using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in
which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The
realization of deferred tax assets is assessed and a valuation allowance
provided, when necessary, for that portion of the asset which is not likely to
be realized. Management believes, based upon current facts, that more likely
than not there will be sufficient taxable income in future years to realize any
deferred tax assets. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a
change in tax rates is recognized in earnings in the period that includes the
enactment date.

Core Deposit Premium
   The premium resulting from the valuation of core deposits acquired in
business combinations or in the purchase of branch offices is amortized using
the interest method over a period not exceeding the estimated average remaining
life of the existing customer deposit base acquired. Amortization periods are
monitored to determine if events and circumstances require such periods to be
reduced.

Goodwill
   The cost in excess of the fair value of the net tangible and identified
intangible assets acquired in the purchase of a banking or thrift institution
("goodwill") is amortized to expense over the estimated remaining life of the
long-term interest-earning assets acquired. Goodwill recorded in the purchase of
branch offices is amortized to expense using the straight line method over the
estimated life of the deposits acquired, generally ten years.

Sale of Loans and Mortgage-Backed Securities
   Gains and losses on the sale of loans and MBS's consist of both a cash and a
present value gain or loss. A cash gain or loss is recognized to the extent that
the sale proceeds exceed or are less than the carrying value of the loans and
MBS's at the time of sale. The carrying value is determined by adjusting the



                                      -9-
<PAGE>
 
unpaid principal balance by net deferred loan fees, premiums, discounts, and the
portion of the basis allocated to capitalized (originated) mortgage servicing
rights ("OMSR") in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 122, "Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights". A present value gain or
loss (excess servicing) relating to sales of MBS's and loans sold with servicing
retained is calculated based on the difference between the MBS or loan interest
rate and the net yield to the investor excluding a normal servicing fee and
considering estimated prepayments on such loans. The resulting servicing rights,
both OMSR and excess, are amortized in proportion to and over the estimated
period servicing income is earned using the level yield method. Amortization or
accretion of these amounts is monitored and adjusted, if necessary, on a
periodic basis to reflect prepayments if higher than originally anticipated.

Provisions for Losses
   Provisions for losses include charges to reduce the carrying value of loans
receivable and real estate acquired in settlement of loans to their fair value.
Such provisions are based on management's estimates using past experience, known
and inherent risks in the loan and real estate owned portfolios, adverse
situations that may affect borrowers' ability to repay, estimated value of any
underlying loan collateral or real estate owned, and current economic
conditions. Provisions for losses on real estate acquired in settlement of loans
are included in real estate operations expense in the Statements of Consolidated
Operations. Recovery of the carrying value of such loans and real estate is
dependent to a great extent on conditions that may be beyond management's
control. In the opinion of management, Collective has made adequate loss
provisions based on all available and relevant information affecting the loan
and real estate portfolios. It must be understood, however, that there are
inherent risks and uncertainties related to the operation of a financial
institution. By necessity, Collective's consolidated financial statements are
dependent upon estimates, appraisals, and evaluations of loans. Therefore, the
possibility exists that abrupt changes in such estimates, appraisals, and
evaluations might be required because of changing economic conditions and the
economic prospects of borrowers.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

   In May 1993, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan" ("SFAS 114"). SFAS 114
addresses the criteria for accounting for loans that have been impaired. It
requires that impaired loans be measured based on the present value of expected
future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective rate or, as a practical
expedient, the loan's observable market price, or the fair value of the
collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. Although SFAS 114 is effective
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1994, Collective elected to adopt
the Statement for its fiscal year ended June 30, 1995. Upon adoption on July 1,
1994, Collective reclassified $17,307,000 of loans foreclosed in-substance and
$6,312,000 in related reserves from real estate acquired in settlement of loans
to loans receivable in the Statements of Consolidated Financial Condition.
   In November 1993, the Accounting Standards Division of the American Institute
of Certified Public Accountants issued Statement of Position 93-6, "Employers'
Accounting for Employee Stock Ownership Plans" ("SOP 93-6"). This SOP provides
guidance on employers' accounting for employee stock ownership plans ("ESOP").
The SOP addresses measurement of compensation cost, the treatment of dividends
on shares held by an ESOP, and the financial reporting of leveraged and
nonleveraged ESOP transactions. Collective adopted SOP 93-6 effective July 1,
1994. The adoption did not have a material effect on Collective's financial
condition or results of operations.
   In October 1994, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 118, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan" ("SFAS 118"). SFAS
118 amends SFAS 114 to eliminate the provisions that described how a creditor
should report income on an impaired loan. It also amends certain disclosure
requirements of SFAS 114. The Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 31, 1994, although earlier application is encouraged.


                                     -10-
<PAGE>
 
Collective adopted the provisions of SFAS 118 during its fiscal year ended June
30, 1995. It did not have a material effect on Collective's financial condition
or results of operations.
   In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-
Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of" ("SFAS 121"). SFAS 121
requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles to be held
and used by an entity be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be
recoverable. In performing the review for recoverability, the entity should
estimate the future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and
its eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected future cash flows is less
than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized. The
Statement also requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable
intangibles be reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost
to sell. The Statement is effective for Collective's fiscal year beginning July
1, 1996. The adoption of SFAS 121 is not expected to have a material effect on
Collective's financial condition or results of operations.
   In May 1995, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
122, "Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights" ("SFAS 122"). SFAS 122 amends
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 65, "Accounting for Certain
Mortgage Banking Activities" ("SFAS 65"), to require that a mortgage banking
enterprise recognize as separate assets rights to service mortgage loans for
others, however those servicing rights are acquired. The Statement applies
prospectively in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995 although earlier
application is encouraged. Collective adopted the provisions of SFAS 122 in its
fiscal year ended June 30, 1995. The adoption did not have a material effect on
Collective's financial condition or results of operations (see note 7).
   In October 1995, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS 123"). SFAS 123
establishes financial accounting and reporting standards for stock-based
employee compensation plans. Those plans include all arrangements by which
employees receive shares of stock or other equity instruments of the employer or
the employer incurs liabilities to employees in amounts based on the price of
the employer's stock. SFAS 123 also applies to transactions in which an entity
issues its equity instruments to acquire goods or services from nonemployees.
The Statement provides a fair value based method for measuring compensation cost
associated with stock-based compensation and also allows, as an alternative, the
intrinsic value based method which is prescribed by Accounting Principles Board
Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB 25"). Since
most stock compensation plans have no intrinsic value at grant date, the latter
method often results in no recognition of compensation cost. Under SFAS 123
entities that elect to remain with the intrinsic value based method must also
make pro forma disclosures of net income and, if presented, earnings per share,
as if the fair value based method of accounting had been applied. The Statement
applies to transactions entered into in fiscal years that begin after December
15, 1995, though they may be adopted on issuance. Pro forma disclosures required
for entities that elect to measure compensation cost using the intrinsic value
based method must include the effects of all awards granted in fiscal years that
begin after December 15, 1994. Collective intends to continue accounting for
stock-based compensation under APB 25 and will include the pro forma disclosures
required by SFAS 123 in financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning
July 1, 1996.
   In June 1996, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
125, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and
Extinguishments of Liabilities" ("SFAS 125"). SFAS125 amends portions of SFAS
115, amends and extends to all servicing assets and liabilities the accounting
standards for mortgage servicing rights now in SFAS 65, and supersedes SFAS 122.
The Statement provides consistent standards for distinguishing transfers of
financial assets that are sales from transfers that are secured borrowings.
Those standards are based upon consistent application of a financial components
approach that focuses on control. The Statement also defines accounting
treatment for servicing assets and other retained interests in the assets that
are transferred. SFAS 125 is effective for transfers and servicing of financial
assets and extinguishments of liabilities occurring after December 31, 1996 and
is to be applied prospectively. The adoption of the Statement is not expected to
have a material effect on Collective's financial condition or results of
operations.

Reclassifications
   Certain amounts in the consolidated financial statements of prior years have
been reclassified to conform with the presentation used in the current year.

2. Business Combinations

   On May 21, 1996, Collective entered into an agreement to acquire Continental
Bancorporation, a state chartered commercial bank with assets of approximately
$187,000,000 (unaudited) at June 30, 1996. The acquisition is subject to
regulatory approval, is anticipated to be completed by December 1996, and will
be accounted for under the purchase method of accounting.
   On April 21, 1995, Collective purchased certain assets and assumed the
deposit account liabilities of seven offices of Sovereign Bancorp, Inc.
("Sovereign") pursuant to an agreement entered into on January 17, 1995. As part
of this same agreement, Sovereign purchased certain assets and assumed the

by $8,334,000. This was allocated to core deposit premium and goodwill of
$2,819,000 and $5,515,000, respectively. The acquisition was accounted for by
the purchase method.

$35,322,000. The fair value of liabilities assumed exceeded the fair value of
tangible assets acquired by $2,315,000. This was allocated to core deposit
premium and goodwill of $1,359,000 and $956,000, respectively. The acquisition
was accounted for by the purchase method.

3.Fair Values of Instruments

   Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair
Value of Financial Instruments" ("SFAS 107"), requires disclosure of fair value
information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized on the
balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate that value. The fair
value of financial instruments is the amount at which an asset or obligation
could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than
in a forced liquidation. Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in
time based on the type of financial instrument and relevant market information.
   Because no quoted market price exists for a significant portion of
Collective's financial instruments, the fair values of such financial
instruments are derived based on the amount and timing of future cash flows,
estimated discount rates, as well as management's best judgment with respect to
current economic conditions. Many of these estimates involve uncertainties and
matters of significant judgment and cannot be determined with precision.
   The fair value information provided is indicative of the estimated fair
values of those financial instruments and should not be interpreted as an
estimate of the value of Collective, taken as a whole. The disclosures do not
address the value of recognized and unrecognized non-financial assets and
liabilities or the value of future anticipated business.

   The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of
financial instruments:
Cash and cash equivalents - The carrying amount of these items is a reasonable
     estimate of their fair value.
Trading securities, loans held for sale, and securities available for sale - The
   fair value of these items is calculated by using the quoted market price of
   securitized loans and securities.
Investment securities - The fair values are based on quoted market prices or
   dealer quotes. The fair values of restricted equity securities are estimated
   to approximate their carrying values.
Loans receivable - For certain homogeneous categories of loans, such as fixed
   and variable residential mortgages, fair value is estimated using quoted
   market prices for securities backed by similar loans, adjusted for
   differences in loan characteristics. The fair value of other loan types is
   estimated by discounting the future cash flows and prepayments using the
   current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar
   credit ratings and for the same remaining term. Some loan types were fair
   valued at carrying value because of their floating rate or expected maturity
   characteristics.
Mortgage-backed securities - Estimated fair value for mortgage-backed securities
   issued by quasi-governmental agencies is based on quoted market prices where
   available or discounted cash flows. The fair value of mortgage-backed
   securities issued by non-quasi-governmental agencies is estimated based on
   similar securities with quoted market prices and adjusted for any differences
   in credit ratings or maturities.
Capitalized loan servicing rights - Capitalized loan servicing rights are
   comprised of excess servicing and originated mortgage servicing rights
   ("OMSR") in accordance with SFAS 122. The fair value of excess servicing on
   loans serviced for others was determined based on the estimated discounted
   net cash flows to be received less the normal costs of servicing. The
   estimated fair value of OMSR approximates the amount for which the servicing
   currently could be sold.
Deposits - The fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts, and money market
   accounts is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair
   value of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit is estimated using the rates
   currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.
FHLB advances and other borrowed funds - Estimated fair value is based on rates
   currently available to Collective Bank for debt with similar remaining
   maturities.
Loan servicing rights - The fair value of off balance sheet loan servicing
   rights approximates the amount for which the servicing currently could be
   sold.
Core deposit valuation - The estimated fair value ascribed to core deposits is
   calculated based on an estimate of cost savings from the low cost of such
   deposits over their estimated life, discounted using an incremental cost of
   funds rate.

4. Securities Purchased Under Agreements to Resell

   Collective enters into purchases of securities under agreements to resell.
There were no agreements outstanding at June 30, 1996 and 1995, but during the
year securities purchased under agreements to resell were delivered by entry
into accounts maintained by Collective Bank at the Federal Reserve Bank of
Philadelphia. These securities averaged $17,461,000 and $57,714,000 for 1996 and
1995, respectively, with maximum amounts outstanding at any month-end of
$102,969,000 and $86,390,000, respectively.

   Nonperforming (impaired) loans at June 30, 1996 and 1995 were $23,166,000 and
$21,876,000, respectively before specific allowances of $6,055,000 at June 30,
1996 and $5,753,000 at June 30, 1995. The allowance for delinquent interest on
loans (included in other assets) totalled $674,000 at June 30, 1996 and $655,000
at June 30, 1995. (See note 1, "Loans Receivable", for a discussion of
Collective's policy for recognizing interest income on impaired loans, including
the treatment of payments received.) Nonperforming loans averaged $24,650,000,
$26,077,000, and $38,768,000 for the years ended June 30, 1996, 1995, and 1994,
respectively. No interest income was recognized on those loans during the period
of impairment.
   At June 30, 1996, 1995, and 1994 the balance of loans serviced for others was
$707,793,000, $695,069,000, and $725,440,000, respectively. Servicing loans
generally consists of collecting mortgage payments, maintaining escrow accounts,
disbursing payments to investors, and foreclosure processing. Loan servicing
income includes servicing fees from investors and certain charges collected from
borrowers, such as late payment fees. In connection with loans serviced for
others, Collective held borrowers' escrow balances of $7,566,000 and $8,086,000
at June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
   At June 30, 1996 and 1995, Collective maintained an inventory of first
mortgage loans held for sale of $5,186,000 and $5,815,000, respectively. No
valuation allowance was established at June 30, 1996 and 1995 as the market
value of those loans exceeded their carrying value.
   Collective originates and purchases adjustable and fixed interest rate loans.
At June 30, 1996, the composition of these loans was as follows:

- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
</TABLE>

   The adjustable rate loans have interest rate adjustment limitations and are
generally indexed to the 1-year and 3-year U.S. Treasury Note rates and the
Federal Home Loan Bank Eleventh District cost of funds. Future market factors
may affect the correlation of the interest rate adjustment with the rates paid
on the short-term deposits and borrowings that have been primarily utilized to
fund these loans.
   At June 30, 1996, 71% of loans receivable were collateralized by property
located in New Jersey while other major concentrations included the states of
Pennsylvania, Delaware, and New York with 9%, 5%, and 3%, respectively.

the blanket pledge agreement was $411,110,000. The weighted average interest
rate on these advances was 6.00%.

   At June 30, 1995, the weighted average interest rates on securities sold
under agreements to repurchase, other short-term borrowings, and ESOP debt were
5.94%, variable, and 8.77%, respectively.
     Collective enters into sales of securities under fixed-coupon reverse
repurchase agreements and fixed-coupon dollar reverse repurchase agreements.
Such agreements are treated as financings, and the obligations to repurchase
securities sold are reflected as a liability in the Statements of Consolidated
Financial Condition. The dollar amount of securities underlying the agreements
are book entry securities. During the period of such agreements, the securities
were delivered by entry into the counterparty's account at the Federal Reserve
Bank of Philadelphia (or in the case of GNMA mortgage-backed securities, to MBS
Clearing Corporation or in the case of other mortgage-backed securities, to a
third-party custodian's account that explicitly recognizes Collective's interest
in the securities).
     At June 30, 1996 and 1995, agreements outstanding to repurchase the same
securities were $1,179,526,000 and $826,651,000, respectively. At June 30, 1996
and 1995, agreements to repurchase substantially identical securities were
$286,454,000 and $217,945,000, respectively.
     Agreements to repurchase the same securities and agreements to repurchase
substantially identical securities averaged $1,437,905,000 and $1,114,789,000
during the years ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively. The maximum amounts
outstanding at any month-end under such agreements during fiscal 1996 and 1995
were $1,595,501,000 and $1,375,212,000, respectively. Accrued interest payable

on these agreements at June 30, 1996 and 1995 was $3,691,000 and $2,370,000,
respectively. The June 30, 1996 agreements will mature through July 29, 1996.
    The June 1995 payable to brokers for securities purchased represents the
purchase of U.S. agency securities. The purchase closed in July 1995 and was
funded by the liquidation of short-term investments (cash equivalents) and 
short-term borrowings.

</TABLE>

      The liability for income taxes at June 30, 1996 and 1995 in the Statements
of Consolidated Financial Condition (included in other liabilities) includes a
net deferred tax liability of $3,222,000 and $2,060,000, respectively that have
been provided for the temporary differences between the tax bases and financial
statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities. The liability at June
30,1996 and 1995 includes $613,000 and $1,202,000, respectively, recorded as a
result of the adoption of SFAS 115 which is netted against the unrealized
appreciation adjustment recorded in stockholders' equity.
     The major sources of temporary differences and their deferred tax effects

</TABLE>

   Savings banks that meet certain definitions, tests, and other conditions
prescribed by the Internal Revenue Code ("IRC") are allowed to deduct, with
limitations, a bad debt deduction. This deduction can be computed as a
percentage of taxable income before such deduction or based upon actual loss
experience. During fiscal years 1996, 1995, and 1994, Collective employed the
percentage of taxable income method.
   Pursuant to SFAS 109, Collective is not required to provide deferred taxes on
its tax loan loss reserve as of December 31, 1987. The amount of this reserve on
which no deferred taxes have been provided is approximately $27,900,000. This
reserve could be recognized as taxable income and create a current and/or
deferred tax liability using the income tax rates then in effect if one of the
following occur: (1) Collective's retained earnings represented by this reserve
is used for purposes other than to absorb losses from bad debts, including
dividends or distributions in liquidation, (2) Collective fails to meet the
definitions, tests, or other conditions provided by the IRC for a qualified
Savings and Loan Association, or (3) there is a change in the federal tax law.
See note 16 for proposed changes to the IRC or federal tax law affecting the bad
debt deduction and tax loan loss reserve.
   Collective recently completed an examination by the Internal Revenue Service
for the year ended December 31, 1991. There were no changes made to Collective's
taxable income as originally reported to the Internal Revenue Service

14. Benefit Plans

   Collective maintains an Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP"), a defined
contribution plan covering all eligible employees. Prior to July 1, 1994,
Collective accounted for ESOP transactions in accordance with AICPA Statement of
Position 76-3, "Accounting Practices for Certain Employee Stock Ownership Plans"
("SOP 76-3"). Effective July 1, 1994, Collective adopted the provisions of SOP
93-6 which supersedes SOP 76-3. These accounting rules address the method of
measuring compensation, the classification of dividends on ESOP shares, and the
treatment of ESOP shares for the computation of earnings per share. Upon
adoption, SOP 93-6 applied to unallocated shares purchased by the ESOP after
December 31, 1992 while unallocated shares purchased prior to December 31, 1992
continued to be accounted for under SOP 76-3. At June 30, 1996, there were
407,679 unallocated shares in the ESOP. Of this total, 196,200 shares were
subject to SOP 76-3 while 211,479, comprised of 15,486 shares committed to be
released and 195,994 suspense shares (market value of $4,630,000 at June 30,
1996), were subject to SOP 93-6. Dividends received on allocated shares in the
ESOP are added directly to the participant accounts while dividends received on
unallocated shares are used toward repayment of principal on the ESOP debt.
Amounts committed to be released and, in turn, provided for repayment of loan
principal are recognized as compensation expense at fair value. Unallocated
shares falling under SOP 76-3 are considered to be outstanding in calculating
earnings per share. Unallocated shares subject to SOP 93-6 that have not been
committed to be released are not treated as outstanding in calculating earnings
per share. The ESOP allocated 118,985 and 134,723 shares of Collective's stock
to employees during the plan years ended November 30, 1995 and 1994,
respectively.


                                     -23-
<PAGE>
 
Contributions to the ESOP are allocated among the participants based on
compensation. During 1988, the ESOP trustee entered into a loan agreement with a
commercial bank to borrow $1,900,000, which was used to finance the purchase of
480,280 shares of common stock of Collective. The loan had a term of seven years
with a rate equal to 90.1% of the prime rate of the commercial bank. This loan
was refinanced on December 30, 1991. The new note which had a term of thirty
nine months with a rate equal to 90.1% of the prime rate of the lender was paid
off on March 31, 1995. In November 1991, the ESOP trustee entered into another
loan agreement with a commercial bank to borrow $4,050,000, which was used to
finance the purchase of 492,593 shares of common stock of Collective. This loan
had a term of seven years with a floating rate tied to 265 basis points over the
Federal Funds effective rate established by the lender or 25 basis points over
the bank's prime rate, whichever method Collective elects to apply to future
periods on the annual anniversary date. To date, the Federal Funds effective
rate has been utilized and has proven to be lower than the prime rate
alternative. In June 1993, the ESOP trustee modified the agreement with the
commercial bank to provide an additional $5,000,000 line of credit. As of June
30, 1994, the entire line of credit had been drawn for the purchase of 242,836
shares. The additional $5,000,000 was an interest only loan for a period of two
years with interest calculated in the same manner as the original $4,050,000
loan discussed above. In June 1995 the loan began a ten year principal
repayment. At June 30, 1996, the total ESOP debt outstanding was $5,816,000.
Collective also has a voluntary thrift plan (a qualifying plan under 401K of the
Internal Revenue Code) in which substantially all of the employees are eligible
to participate. Annual contributions to the plan are made at the discretion of
the Board of Directors based upon the income of Collective as defined and funded
annually. Benefits under the plan are deferred until retirement, termination, or
withdrawal upon request. Contributions made for plan years ended November 30,
1995, 1994, and 1993 were $902,835, $782,063, and $766,359, respectively.

15. Commitments and Contingencies

   At June 30, 1996 and 1995 Collective had outstanding mortgage loan
origination commitments of approximately $73,445,000 and $47,682,000,
respectively, with interest rates ranging from 4.25% to 11.88% and 3.00% to
9.50%, respectively. Of the total at June 30, 1996, variable rate commitments
totalled $57,779,000 at interest rates of 4.25% to 11.88% with the balance of
$15,666,000 representing fixed rate commitments at 6.00% to 11.88%. At June 30,
1995, variable rate commitments totalled $17,718,000 at interest rates of 3.00%
to 8.50% with the balance of $29,964,000 representing fixed rate commitments at
6.75% to 9.50%. At June 30, 1996 and 1995 Collective had outstanding non-
mortgage loan origination commitments of approximately $52,989,000 and
$53,974,000, respectively. Collective evaluates each customer's credit
worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if it is
deemed necessary upon extension of credit, is based on management's credit
evaluation of the counterparty. Management expects that these loans will be
disbursed within the next twelve months. At June 30, 1996 and 1995, Collective
had outstanding commitments on unused lines of credit of $123,822,000 and
$92,991,000, respectively. These commitments may not represent future cash
requirements since many commitments may not be drawn upon.
   Collective and its subsidiary may, from time to time, be defendants in legal
proceedings relating to the conduct of their businesses. In the best judgement
of management, the consolidated financial position, results of operations, and
cash flows of Collective or its subsidiary will not be affected materially by
the final outcome of any pending legal proceedings or other contingent
liabilities and commitments.
   Legislation pending in Congress would impose a one-time assessment, currently
estimated at between 75 and 85 basis points, on the amount of deposits held as
of March 31, 1995 by Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF")-member
institutions, including Collective Bank, a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Collective, to recapitalize the SAIF to the required level of 1.25% of insured
deposits. If the assessment is made at the 85 basis point proposed rate, the
effect on Collective Bank would be a pre-tax charge of approximately $22
million, or $14 million after tax (36% assumed tax rate).


                                     -24-
<PAGE>
 
   Certain proposed legislation also would require the recapitalized SAIF to be
merged with the Bank Insurance Fund into a new Deposit Insurance Fund no later
than January 1, 1998, provided the thrift charter has been eliminated by that
date. The elimination of the thrift charter, by requiring thrifts, including
Collective Bank, to convert to state or national commercial bank charters, would
be effected via separate legislation enacted by the end of calendar 1997.
   Additional proposed legislation would repeal Section 593 of the IRC for
taxable years beginning after December 31, 1995. Section 593 allows certain
thrift institutions, including Collective Bank, to use a percentage-of-taxable
income bad debt accounting method, if more favorable than the specific charge-
off method, for federal income tax purposes. Since 1993, Collective has used the
percentage-of-taxable income method in its income tax returns.
   The enactment of the proposed legislation could cause Collective's effective
income tax rate to increase, thereby negatively impacting net income.
   Management cannot predict whether such proposals, or similar legislation,
will be enacted, or if enacted, the ultimate effect on Collective's financial
condition or results of operations, except as indicated above.

16. Stockholders' Equity

   The OTS sets forth capital standards applicable to all thrifts. These
standards include a core capital requirement, a tangible capital requirement,
and a risk-based capital requirement. The following table presents Collective
Bank's position relative to the three capital requirements. Collective Bank
exceeds all of the requirements at June 30, 1996.
   At June 30, 1996 Collective Bank exceeded the minimum capital requirements as
follows:

related statements of consolidated operations, stockholders' equity and cash
flows for the year then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. The
accompanying financial statements of Collective Bancorp, Inc. and subsidiary as
of June 30, 1995 were audited by other auditors, whose report thereon dated
August 25, 1995 expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements.
   We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
   In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Collective
Bancorp, Inc. and subsidiary at June 30, 1996 and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

Collective Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiary
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

        
The Stockholders and Board of Directors of Collective Bancorp, Inc.:

We have audited the statement of consolidated financial condition of Collective
Bancorp, Inc. and subsidiary as of June 30, 1995 and the related statements of
consolidated operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the two
years in the period ended June 30, 1995 as contained in the 1996 annual report
to stockholders before the restatement of the statements of consolidated cash
flows to reflect the retroactive reclassification of various amounts as
investing activities which were previously classified as operating activities
for the year ended June 30, 1995 and 1994 (not included herein). Our audits also
included the financial statement schedules listed in the Index at Item 14(a)2
for each of the two years in the period ended June 30, 1995. These financial
statements and the financial statement schedules are the responsibility of the
Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the
financial statements and financial statement schedules based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all 
material respects, the financial position of Collective Bancorp, Inc. and 
subsidiary at June 30, 1995, and the results of their operations and their cash 
flows before the restatement as described in the first paragraph for each of 
the two years in the period ended June 30, 1995 in conformity with generally 
accepted accounting principles.  Also, in our opinion, such financial statement 
schedules, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial 
statements taken as a whole, present fairly in all material respects the 
information set forth therein.

Effective July 1, 1994, Collective Bancorp, Inc. changed its method of 
accounting for impairment of loans and for investments in certain debt and 
equity securities, to conform with Statements of Financial Accounting Standards 
No. 114, 115, and 118.

                     COLLECTIVE BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.   The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of Collective
     Bancorp, Inc. and subsidiary ("Collective") included herein should be read
     in conjunction with the audited financial statements for the year ended
     June 30, 1996 included in Collective's 1996 Annual Report and incorporated
     by reference in the Form 10-K for that year. The unaudited interim
     financial statements reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of
     management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the
     periods presented. Such adjustments consist only of normal recurring
     accruals. The results of operations for the three and nine-month periods
     ended March 31, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
     expected for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1997.

2.   On February 27, 1997, Collective entered into an Agreement and Plan of
     Merger with Summit Bancorp. ("Summit") pursuant to which Collective will be
     merged with and into Summit and shares of Collective's common stock will be
     converted into whole shares of Summit's common stock and cash in lieu of
     fractional shares based on an exchange ratio of Summit common to Collective
     common of .895. The merger is subject to approval by Collective's
     stockholders and certain regulatory agencies. The merger is expected to be
     consummated during the third calendar quarter of 1997.

3.   In connection with the enactment of the Deposit Insurance Funds Act of 1996
     ("DIFA") on September 30, 1996, Collective Bank, a wholly-owned subsidiary
     of Collective Bancorp, Inc., was required to pay a one-time special
     assessment of $16.653 million to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
     ("FDIC") to capitalize the Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF") to
     its required reserve ratio. The special assessment rate of 65.7 cents per
     $100 of SAIF-assessable deposits was applied as of March 31, 1995. The
     assessment was paid in November 1996.

     DIFA also requires the Financing Corporation ("FICO") bond obligation to be
     shared by insured depository institutions pro rata beginning in the year
     2000. For the transition period from January 1, 1997 to December 31, 1999,
     banks will pay one-fifth of the assessment rate imposed upon thrifts.
     During this period, the FICO assessment rates are estimated to be 1.3 basis
     points for banks calculated on their Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF") deposit
     base and 6.4 basis points for thrifts, such as Collective Bank calculated
     on their SAIF deposit base.

     DIFA directs the Treasury Department to present a report to Congress by
     March 31, 1997 regarding the development of a common charter for all
     depository institutions. The report is to include a recommendation for
     legislative and administrative action. DIFA requires that the BIF and the
     SAIF be merged into a single new fund (the Deposit Insurance Fund) on
     January 1, 1999, provided "no insured depository institution is a savings
     association on that date".

4.   On August 20, 1996, the Small Business Job Protection Act of 1996 ("SBJPA")
     was enacted, which included a repeal of the thrift bad debt reserve method
     (percentage-of-taxable income method) under section 593 of the Internal
     Revenue Code. The repeal is effective for Collective's 1997 fiscal year.
     Since 1993, Collective has used the percentage-of-taxable income method in
     its income tax returns. Effective July 1, 1996, Collective was required to
     change from the reserve method to the specific charge-off method to
     calculate its bad debt deduction. The change in bad debt tax accounting
     methods has not had, nor is it expected to have, a material impact on
     Collective's results of operations.


                                     -35-
<PAGE>
 
     The SBJPA also provided for the recapture of a thrift's post-1987 excess
     bad debt reserve resulting from the use of the reserve method for
     calculating the bad debt deduction. Pre-1988 excess bad debt reserves are
     not subject to recapture. The recaptured amount must be taken into taxable
     income ratably over a six-year period commencing with the thrift's tax year
     beginning in 1996. The timing of the recapture may be delayed for a one-or
     two-year period provided the residential loan requirement is met.
     Collective expects to meet the residential loan requirement for its 1996
     and 1997 tax years. Therefore, its estimated tax liability of approximately
     $5.5 million, resulting from the recapture, will be payable over a six-year
     period commencing with Collective's 1999 fiscal year. The excess bad debt
     reserve recapture is not expected to have a material impact on Collective's
     results of operations or financial position because Collective has recorded
     deferred income tax provisions on its excess bad reserves since 1987.

5.   On October 1, 1996, Collective acquired the outstanding capital stock of
     Continental Bancorporation for $25.7 million in cash pursuant to an
     agreement entered into on May 21, 1996. Simultaneously with the
     acquisition, Continental Bancorporation was liquidated and its subsidiary,
     Continental Bank of New Jersey ("Continental"), became a subsidiary of
     Collective. Continental's name was changed subsequently to Collective Bank
     of New Jersey. Collective Bank of New Jersey was a state-chartered, BIF-
     insured commercial bank with total assets of $161.3 million and deposits of
     $129.5 million on the date of acquisition. The acquisition was accounted
     for by the purchase method. It has not had, nor is it expected to have, a
     material effect on Collective's results of operations or financial
     position. Collective Bank of New Jersey was merged into Collective Bank in
     February 1997.

                        PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION
                                  (UNAUDITED)
 
  The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements
reflect the Merger under the application of the pooling-of-interests method of
accounting. This pro forma financial information is based on the estimates and
assumptions set forth in the notes to such statements. The pro forma adjustments
made in connection with the development of the pro forma information are
preliminary and have been made solely for purposes of developing such pro forma
information as necessary to comply with the disclosure requirements of the
Commission. The pro forma financial information has been prepared using the
historical consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing in
Summit's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996 and Summit's Form 10-Q
for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 1996 and 1997 and Collective's Form 
10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996 and Collective's Form 10-Q's for 
the quarterly periods ended September 30, 1995 and March 31, 1997. The unaudited
pro forma condensed combined financial statements do not purport to be
indicative of the combined financial position or results of operations of future
periods or indicative of the results that actually would have been realized had
the entities been a single entity during these periods.
 
  The Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Income give effect to the
proposed Merger by combining the historical statements of income of Summit for
the three years ended December 31, 1996, as filed on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 1996, and the historical statements of income of Collective
for the three fiscal years ended June 30, 1996, as filed on Form 10-K for the
year ended June 30, 1996 and included hereon. The Pro Forma Condensed Combined
Statement of Income for the three months ended March 31, 1997 combines the
unaudited statement of income of Summit for the three months ended March 31,
1997 and the unaudited statement of income of Collective for the three months
ended March 31, 1997 as filed on Form 10-Q and included hereon. The Pro Forma
Condensed Combined Statement of Income for the three months ended March 31, 1996
combines the unaudited statement of income of Summit for the three months ended
March 31, 1996 and the unaudited statement of income of Collective for the three
months ended September 30, 1995, to reflect the restatement of the historical
statements of income of Summit that will be recorded on the consummation of the
Merger.
 
  The Pro Forma Condensed Combined Income Statements do not give effect to
anticipated expenses and nonrecurring charges related to the Merger and the
estimated effect of revenue enhancements and expense savings associated with
the consolidation of the operations of Summit and Collective. Had these
expenses and nonrecurring charges, net of tax effect, been reflected in the
Pro Forma Condensed Combined Income Statements for the three months ended
March 31, 1997, Summit and Collective Pro Forma net income would decrease by
approximately $33.2 million or $.28 per share. The estimated restructuring
charge constitutes forward-looking information and is based on currently
available information as well as numerous factors and assumptions which are
subject to change and could result in a restructuring charge differing from
the estimate.
 
  The pro forma financial information uses the Exchange Ratio of .895 shares
of Summit Common for each share of Collective Common.

                   NOTES TO PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION
 
- --------
(1) Reflects the elimination of 163,700 shares of Collective Common owned by
    Summit at March 31, 1997.
(2) The Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet gives effect to the Merger
    by combining the respective balance sheets of Summit and Collective at
    March 31, 1997 on a pooling-of-interests basis. The capital accounts have
    been adjusted to reflect the issuance of 18.2 million shares of Summit
    Common in exchange for all the outstanding shares of Collective Common and
    the retirement of Collective Common held in the treasury of Collective.
(3) Reflects charges of approximately $49.3 million, $33.2 million after the
    related tax effects, which includes estimated severance and outplacement
    costs, expenses related to facilities closures and consolidation costs
    directly attributable to the Merger.
(4) Average common shares outstanding and net income per common share for
    Collective assume full dilution. Pro forma combined net income per common
    share was computed based on pro forma combined net income less preferred
    dividends divided by the combined weighted average number of shares
    outstanding during the period. Pro forma combined weighted average shares
    includes Collective's weighted average shares outstanding, adjusted for
    the exchange ratio. Common stock equivalents are not included in the pro
    forma calculation as they are not material.
(5) Represents the results of operations of Collective for the three months
    ended September 30, 1995 to be consistent with the restatement of the
    historical financial statements of Summit that will be recorded on
    consummation of the Merger.
(6) Represents the results of operations of Collective for the fiscal year
    ended June 30 that falls within Summit's year ended December 31 to be
    consistent with the restatement of the historical financial statements of
    Summit that will be recorded on consummation of the Merger.
