1.) Acquisitions 
 
On August 31, 1998, Summit Bancorp acquired W.M. Ross and Company, Inc., one 
of the largest privately held property and casualty insurance brokerage firms 
in New Jersey. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase, with the 
issuance of 280 thousand shares of treasury stock.

On October 30, 1998, Summit Bancorp acquired Spectrum Financial Group, Inc., 
an employee benefits brokerage operation. Its operations are conducted 
through its wholly owned subsidiary known by its registered alternative name, 
Madison Consulting Group. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase, 
with the issuance of 383 thousand shares of treasury stock.

On November 21, 1998, Summit Bancorp completed the acquisition of NSS Bancorp 
Inc. NSS Bancorp was headquartered in Norwalk, Connecticut and operated eight 
branches with $655 million in assets. This acquisition was accounted for as a 
purchase, with the issuance of 3.0 million shares of treasury stock. 

On March 31, 1999, Summit Bancorp completed the acquisition of New Canaan 
Bank and Trust Company. New Canaan Bank and Trust Company was headquartered 
in New Canaan, Connecticut and operated four branches with $182 million in 
assets. This acquisition was accounted for as a purchase, with the issuance 
of 1.1 million shares of treasury stock. 

On February 18, 1999, Summit Bancorp announced that it had entered into a 
definitive merger agreement to acquire Prime Bancorp. Prime Bancorp is a 
commercial bank headquartered in Fort Washington, Pennsylvania. The 
acquisition, which will be accounted for as a purchase is expected to be 
completed in the third quarter of 1999, subject to normal regulatory and 
Prime Bancorp shareholder approvals. Summit Bancorp expects to repurchase
from time to time in the open market outstanding Summit Bancorp shares in
a number equal to the approximate amount of common shares to be issued in the
acquisition, or reissue treasury shares. The number of common shares to be 
repurchased or reissued will depend on market conditions and other factors.

2.) Net Income per Common Share

Basic net income per common share is calculated by dividing net income by the 
weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net 
income per common share is computed similarly to that of basic net income per 
common share, except that the denominator is increased to include the number 
of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if all potentially 
dilutive common shares, principally stock options, were issued during the 
reporting period.
