                                   (Unaudited)


(1)      Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

         Basis of Financial Statement Presentation

         The audited and unaudited  consolidated  financial statements contained
         herein for Sun Bancorp,  Inc. (the  "Company")  include the accounts of
         the Company and its wholly-owned  subsidiaries,  Sun Capital Trust (the
         "Trust"),  Sun National  Bank (the "Bank") and the Bank's  wholly-owned
         subsidiaries,  Med-Vine, Inc. and Sun Mortgage Company. All significant
         inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.

         The  accompanying  consolidated  financial  statements were prepared in
         accordance  with  instructions  to Form  10-Q,  and  therefore,  do not
         include information or footnotes necessary for a complete  presentation
         of  financial  position,  results  of  operations  and  cash  flows  in
         conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.  However, all
         normal recurring  adjustments  that, in the opinion of management,  are
         necessary for a fair  presentation  of the financial  statements,  have
         been included. These financial statements should be read in conjunction
         with  the  audited  financial  statements  and the  accompanying  notes
         thereto  included in the  Company's  Annual Report for the period ended
         December 31, 1997. The results for the nine months ended  September 30,
         1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected
         for the fiscal year ending December 31, 1998 or any other period.

         On February 26, 1998,  the Bank  purchased  the  Eatontown  branch from
         First Savings  Bank,  Woodbridge,  NJ. The Bank acquired  approximately
         $25,228,000 of deposit  liabilities plus accrued interest,  $118,000 in
         equipment,  $34,000  in loans  and  $119,000  in cash.  The Bank paid a
         premium of $1,085,000, which is being amortized over seven years.

         The  provision  for loan  losses  charged to expense is based upon past
         loan loss  experience  and an  evaluation  of  estimated  losses in the
         current loan  portfolio,  including the  evaluation  of impaired  loans
         under Statements of Financial  Accounting  Standards  ("SFAS") Nos. 114
         and 118 issued by the Financial  Accounting  Standards Board. A loan is
         considered  to be impaired  when,  based upon current  information  and
         events,  it is  probable  that the Bank will be unable to  collect  all
         amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan.

         An insignificant delay or insignificant shortfall in amount of payments
         does not necessarily result in a loan being identified as impaired. For
         this  purpose,   delays  less  than  90  days  are   considered  to  be
         insignificant.

         Impairment losses are included in the provision for loan losses.  Large
         groups of smaller balance, homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated
         for impairment,  except for those loans  restructured  under a troubled
         debt restructuring. Loans collectively evaluated for impairment include
         consumer loans and residential  real estate loans, and are not included
         in the data that follows:

(7)      Earnings Per Share

         Basic  earnings per share is computed by dividing  income  available to
         shareholders (net income),  by the weighted average number of shares of
         common stock outstanding during the period.  Diluted earnings per share
         is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted  average number of
         shares of common  stock  outstanding  increased by the number of common
         shares that are assumed to have been  purchased  with the proceeds from
         the exercise of the options  (treasury  stock method).  These purchases
         were  assumed  to have been  made at the  average  market  price of the
         common stock,  which is based on the average  price  received on common
         shares sold.  Retroactive  recognition has been given to market values,
         common stock  outstanding and potential common shares for periods prior
         to the date of the Company's stock dividends and stock splits,  as well
         as for the adoption of SFAS No. 128.

         The sole asset of the Trust is  $28,750,000  principal  amount of 9.85%
         Junior  Subordinated  Debentures  issued  by the  Company.  The  Junior
         Subordinated Debentures mature on March 31, 2027.

(9)      Pending Acquisitions

         On July 20, 1998,  the Company  entered into a purchase and  assumption
         agreement with Household Bank, f.s.b.,  whereby the Company will assume
         certain  deposit  liabilities  of eight  branches of  Beneficial  Bank,
         Wilmington,  Delaware (the "Beneficial Acquisition").  At September 30,
         1998,  the branches  had deposits of  approximately  $170  million.  In
         addition,  the Company will acquire approximately $128 million of loans
         as well as equipment pertaining to the branches.  Subject to regulatory
         approval and raising additional capital, a separate banking entity, Sun
         National Bank,  Delaware ("Sun  Delaware")  will be  established.  Upon
         completion of the acquisition,  the deposits,  loans and equipment will
         be  combined  into Sun  Delaware.  The  acquisition  is  expected to be
         completed in December 1998.

         On July 28,  1998,  the Bank  entered  into a purchase  and  assumption
         agreement  with  Summit Bank  ("Summit"),  whereby the Bank will assume
         certain deposit liabilities of two branch offices from Summit. At March
         31, 1998, the branches had deposits of  approximately  $14,800,000.  In
         addition,  the Bank will acquire  account loans as well as property and
         equipment pertaining to the branches. The transaction is expected to be
         completed during the first quarter of 1999. The agreement is subject to
         regulatory approval.


(10)     Recent Acquisition

         On July 30, 1998, the Bank acquired Allegiance Mortgage Company, Cherry
         Hill, NJ ("Allegiance").  Allegiance  originates  residential  mortgage
         loans, primarily in New Jersey, for resale in the secondary market. The
         Company  issued  28,302  shares of common stock in exchange for all the
         outstanding  shares of Allegiance  common stock.  The  transaction  was
         accounted for as a pooling of  interests.  After the  acquisition,  the
         name of the company was changed to Sun Mortgage Company.

Item 2:
                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Financial Condition

         Total  assets at  September  30, 1998  increased  by $160.0  million to
$1,260  million as compared to $1,100  million at December 31, 1997.  The growth
was primarily due to an increase in the investment securities portfolio of $40.9
million, an increase in net loans of $89.2 million, an increase in federal funds
sold of $9.5 million and an increase in other assets of $20.6 million.

         Investment  securities available for sale increased $40.9 million, from
$576.3 million at December 31, 1997 to $617.2 million at September 30, 1998. The
increase was primarily a result of net purchases  using funds  acquired  through
increased deposits and higher levels of repurchase agreements.

         Net loans at September 30, 1998 amounted to $517.0 million, an increase
of $89.2  million from $427.8  million at December 31,  1997.  Of the  increase,
$34,000 was the result of loans  purchased from First Savings Bank. The increase
was primarily from increased  originations  of commercial and industrial  loans.
The ratio of  non-performing  assets to total  loans  and real  estate  owned at
September 30, 1998 was 0.45%  compared to 0.51% at December 31, 1997.  The ratio
of  allowance  for loan  losses to total  non-performing  loans was  236.06%  at
September  30, 1998  compared to 189.81% at December 31,  1997.  The increase in
this ratio was the result of a higher allowance for loan losses at September 30,
1998.  The  ratio of  allowance  for loan  losses  to total  loans  was 1.06% at
September 30, 1998 compared to 0.97% at December 31, 1997.

         Excess of cost  over  fair  value of  assets  acquired  decreased  $2.1
million,  from $26.2  million at December 31, 1997 to $24.1 million at September
30,  1998.  The  decrease  was a result of related  amortization  and a $289,000
refund  of the  purchase  premium  from  the  purchase  of The  Bank of New York
branches,  offset  by the  addition  of a $1.1  million  premium  paid  for  the
acquisition of the Eatontown office of First Savings.

         Other assets increased $20.6 million, from $2.9 million at December 31,
1997 to $23.5  million at September 30, 1998.  The increase was almost  entirely
the result of the sale of investment  securities  during the period that settled
after September 30, 1998.

         Total  liabilities  at September  30, 1998  amounted to $1,167  million
compared to $1,017  million at December 31, 1997,  an increase of $150 million.

         Total  deposits grew to $806.2  million at September 30, 1998, a $110.8
million increase over December 31, 1997 deposits of $695.4 million. The increase
was the result of  approximately  $25.1 million in deposits  acquired from First
Savings Bank, as well as from internal deposit growth of 12.32%.

         There were $11.2  million in advances  from the Federal  Home Loan Bank
and no federal  funds  purchased at September 30, 1998 compared to $75.0 million
and $5.5 million,  respectively, at December 31, 1997. The combined net decrease
in these  liabilities was due to the availability of funds from increased levels
of deposits and customer repurchase agreements.

         Securities sold under agreements to repurchase increased $90.3 million,
from $235.8  million at December  31, 1997 to $326.1  million at  September  30,
1998.  The increase was the result of an increase of $27.5 million in repurchase
agreements  with customers and an increase of $62.8 million in Federal Home Loan
Bank repurchase agreements.

                                       10
<PAGE>


         Other  liabilities  increased  $19.0  million,  from  $4.9  million  at
December 31, 1997 to $23.9 million at September  30, 1998.  The increase was the
result of the purchase of investment  securities  during the period that settled
after September 30, 1998.

         Total shareholders' equity grew by $9.2 million,  from $54.6 million at
December 31, 1997, to $63.8  million at September  30, 1998.  The increase was a
result of net earnings of $6.2 million for the nine months ended  September  30,
1998 augmented by the issuance of 30,347 shares of common stock through employee
benefit  programs and an improvement  in the net unrealized  gains on securities
available for sale, net of income taxes of $2.1 million.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

         Liquidity  management is a daily and long-term business  function.  The
Company's  liquidity,  represented  in part by cash and cash  equivalents,  is a
product of its  operating,  investing  and financing  activities.  Proceeds from
repayment  of  loans,  maturities  of  investment  securities,  net  income  and
increases in deposits and borrowings are the primary sources of liquidity of the
Company.

         The Company continues to experience  commercial loan demand and expects
such demand to continue for the remainder of the current fiscal year. Management
has demonstrated the ability to meet this increased need for funds by attracting
higher levels of deposits,  engaging in repurchase  agreements,  raising capital
and utilizing its lines of credit with other financial institutions. It also has
the ability to liquidate portions of its investment portfolio.

         It is the Company's  intent to maintain  adequate  levels of regulatory
capital. The increase of commercial loans has the effect of increasing the level
of risk-based assets and thus lowering the Company's  risk-based capital ratios.
In general,  commercial  loans are  categorized as having a 100%  risk-weighting
using the calculations required by the Company's regulators. Management monitors
the Company's capital levels,  and when appropriate,  will recommend  additional
capital raising  efforts to the Company's  board of directors.  At September 30,
1998,  the Company's Tier 1 risk-based  capital,  total  risk-based  capital and
leverage  capital  ratios were 8.43%,  10.45% and 4.86%,  respectively.  At that
date, Federal  regulators  required the Company to maintain at least an 8% total
risk-based capital ratio and a 3% leverage capital ratio.

         As  discussed  in  Note  (9) of the  Notes  to  Consolidated  Financial
Statements  (Unaudited),  the Company has entered into a purchase and assumption
agreement  with  Household  Bank,  f.s.b.  in  connection  with  the  Beneficial
Acquisition.  As a result,  it was necessary for the Company to issue additional
securities  in order to  capitalize  Sun  Delaware.  On October  30,  1998,  the
Company,  through its  subsidiary  Sun Capital Trust II, issued $29.9 million of
8.875% Trust  Preferred  Securities.  The Company has also filed a  Registration
Statement  with  the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission  with  respect  to a
potential  underwritten  public offering of 700,000 shares of common stock.  The
offering  of  such  common  stock  is  expected  to be  completed  prior  to the
completion of the Beneficial Acquisition.



Comparison  of Operating  Results for the Three Months Ended  September 30, 1998
and 1997.

         General.  Net income  increased  by $1.2  million for the three  months
ended  September 30, 1998 to $2.4 million from $1.2 million for the three months
ended  September 30, 1997.  Net interest  income  increased $5.2 million and the
provision  for  loan  losses  increased  $157,000  for the  three  months  ended
September 30, 1998 compared to the same period in 1997.  Other income  increased
by $823,000 to $1.4  million for the three months  ended  September  30, 1998 as
compared to $597,000  for the three  months  ended  September  30,  1997.  Other
expenses  increased  by $4.2  million to $8.6 million for the three months ended
September  30,  1998 as  compared to $4.4  million  for the three  months  ended
September  30,  1997.  The

                                       11
<PAGE>

return on average assets for the three months ended  September 30, 1998 and 1997
were 0.78% and 0.71%,  respectively.  The return on average equity for the three
months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997 were 15.68% and 16.08%, respectively.

         On a cash  earnings  basis  (computed  excluding  the  amortization  of
goodwill),  net income  increased  by $1.7  million for the three  months  ended
September 30, 1998 to $3.3 million, from $1.6 million for the three months ended
September 30, 1997. The cash basis return on average assets for the three months
ended September 30, 1998 and 1997 were 1.10% and 1.10%,  respectively.  The cash
basis return on average equity for the three months ended September 30, 1998 and
1997 were 22.08% and 21.79%,  respectively.  The cash basis diluted earnings per
share for the three  months  ended  September  30,  1998 and 1997 were $0.52 and
$0.32, respectively.

         Net Interest  Income.  The increase in net interest income was due to a
$10.2 million  increase in interest  income  partially  offset by a $5.1 million
increase in interest expense.

         Interest  Income.  Interest income for the three months ended September
30, 1998 increased approximately $10.2 million, or 80.6%, from $12.8 million for
the same period in 1997 to $23.0 million in 1998. The increase was primarily the
result of an increase of $4.3  million in interest  and fees on loans  resulting
from acquisitions and internal growth and $6.2 million in interest on investment
securities resulting from the deployment of cash into the investment  portfolio,
from funds received from financing transactions, branch acquisitions and deposit
growth. The Beneficial Acquisition and the proposed offering of common stock and
recently  completed  offering  of Trust  Preferred  Securities  are  expected to
generate  additional  net  cash  that  can be  deployed  into  loan  growth  and
investments that will create interest income.

         Interest Expense. Interest expense for the three months ended September
30, 1998 increased  approximately  $5.1 million,  from $6.8 million for the same
period in 1997 to $11.9  million in 1998.  This  increase was primarily due to a
$2.0  million   increase  in  interest  on  deposit   accounts   resulting  from
significantly  higher deposit  balances due to acquisitions and internal growth,
and a $3.1 million  increase in interest on borrowed funds resulting from higher
levels of  securities  sold  under  agreements  to  repurchase.  The  Beneficial
Acquisition and the recent issuance of Trust Preferred Securities will result in
additional interest expense in future periods.

         Provision  for Loan Losses.  For the three months ended  September  30,
1998,  the  provision  for loan  losses  amounted  to  $577,000,  an increase of
$157,000,  compared to the $420,000  recorded  for the same period in 1997.  The
increase  in the  provision  for loan  losses was due to higher  levels of loans
outstanding.  Management  continually  reviews  the  adequacy  of the loan  loss
reserve based on internal  review of loans and using  guidelines  promulgated by
the Bank's primary regulator.

         Other  Income.  Other income  increased  $823,000  for the  three-month
period  ended  September  30, 1998  compared  to the  three-month  period  ended
September 30, 1997. The increase was a result of approximately  $442,000 in fees
generated by a larger deposit base due to acquisitions and internal growth. This
was  augmented  by an increase  of  $217,000 in gains on the sale of  investment
securities and an increase of $147,000 in other income.

         Other Expenses. Other expenses increased approximately $4.2 million, to
$8.6 million for the three months ended  September  30, 1998 as compared to $4.4
million  for the same  period in 1997.  Of the  increase,  $2.2  million  was in
salaries and employee benefits,  $439,000 was in occupancy expense, $230,000 was
in equipment expense,  $175,000 was in data processing expense,  $536,000 was in
amortization  of excess of cost over fair value of assets  acquired and $491,000
was in other  operating  expenses.  The increase in other expenses  reflects the
Company's  strategy to support planned  expansion.  The Company has entered into
two purchase and assumption agreements which, when completed, will result in the
acquisition  of a total of ten  branch  locations,  including  the eight  branch
locations  connected with the Beneficial  Acquisition.  As a result, the Company
expects  the level of  amortization  of excess of cost over fair value of assets
acquired to increase in future  periods,  subsequent  to the  completion  of the
transactions.

         Income Taxes.  Applicable income taxes increased $540,000 for the three
months  ended  September  30, 1998 as  compared to the same period in 1997.  The
increase resulted from higher pre-tax earnings.


Comparison of Operating Results for the Nine months Ended September 30, 1998 and
1997.

         General. Net income increased by $3.5 million for the nine months ended
September  30, 1998 to $6.2  million from $2.7 million for the nine months ended
September  30,  1997.  Net  interest  income  increased  $14.0  million  and the
provision for loan losses increased $342,000 for the nine months ended September
30, 1998  compared to the same period in 1997.  Other  income  increased by $2.8
million to $4.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 as compared
to $1.4 million for the nine months ended  September  30, 1997.  Other  expenses
increased by $11.4 million to $23.2 million for the nine months ended  September
30, 1998 as compared to $11.8  million for the nine months ended  September  30,
1997. The return on average assets for the nine months ended  September 30, 1998
and 1997 were 0.73% and 0.66%,  respectively.  The return on average  equity for
the nine  months  ended  September  30,  1998 and 1997 were  14.25% and  12.55%,
respectively.

         On a cash earnings basis,  net income increased by $5.4 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 1998 to $9.0 million,  from $3.6 million for the
nine months ended  September 30, 1997.  The cash basis return on average  assets
for the nine  months  ended  September  30,  1998 and 1997 were 1.07% and 0.88%,
respectively.  The cash basis return on average equity for the nine months ended
September 30, 1998 and 1997 were 20.88% and 16.74%, respectively. The cash basis
diluted earnings per share for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997
were $1.26 and $0.71, respectively.

         Net Interest  Income.  The increase in net interest income was due to a
$31.3 million  increase in interest income  partially  offset by a $17.3 million
increase in interest expense.

         Interest  Income.  Interest  income for the nine months ended September
30, 1998 increased  approximately  $31.3 million,  or 101.5%, from $30.9 million
for the same period in 1997 to $62.2 million in 1998. The increase was primarily
the  result  of an  increase  of $11.0  million  in  interest  and fees on loans
resulting from acquisitions and internal growth and $20.5 million in interest on
investment  securities  resulting  from the  deployment  of cash  received  from
financing  transactions,   branch  acquisitions  and  deposit  growth  into  the
Company's investment portfolio.

         Interest Expense.  Interest expense for the nine months ended September
30, 1998 increased  approximately $17.3 million, from $15.5 million for the same
period in 1997 to $32.8  million in 1998.  This  increase was primarily due to a
$7.3  million   increase  in  interest  on  deposit   accounts   resulting  from
significantly higher deposit balances due to acquisitions and internal growth, a
$9.5 million  increase in interest on short-term  borrowed funds  resulting from
higher levels of borrrowings from correspondent  banks and securities sold under
agreements  to  repurchase  and a $607,000  increase in  interest on  guaranteed
preferred  beneficial interest in subordinated debt. The Beneficial  Acquisition
and the recently completed offering of Trust Preferred Securities will result in
additional interest expense in future periods.

         Provision  for Loan  Losses.  For the nine months ended  September  30,
1998,  the  provision for loan losses  amounted to $1.6 million,  an increase of
$342,000,  compared to $1.2 million for the same period in 1997. The increase in
the  provision  for loan losses was due to higher  levels of loans  outstanding.
Management  continually  reviews  the  adequacy of the loan loss  reserve  using
guidelines promulgated by the Bank's primary regulator.

         Other Income.  Other income  increased  $2.8 million for the nine month
period  ended  September  30,  1998  compared  to the nine  month  period  ended
September 30, 1997. The increase was a result of  approximately  $1.4 million in
fees generated by a larger base due to deposit acquisitions and internal 

                                       13

growth,  augmented by $790,000 in gains from the sale of  investment  securities
and $396,000 in other income.

         Other Expenses.  Other expenses increased  approximately $11.4 million,
to $23.2  million for the nine months  ended  September  30, 1998 as compared to
$11.8 million for the same period in 1997. Of the increase,  $5.3 million was in
salaries and employee benefits, $1.3 million was in occupancy expense,  $755,000
was in  equipment  expense,  $179,000  was in  professional  fees and  services,
$564,000 was in data processing  expense,  $250,000 was in postage and supplies,
$2.0  million  was in  amortization  of excess of cost over fair value of assets
acquired and $1.1 million was in other expenses.  The increase in other expenses
reflects  the  Company's  strategy to support  planned  expansion.  Salaries and
benefits  increased  due to  additional  staff  positions in  financial  service
centers, lending, loan review, compliance and audit departments. The increase in
occupancy, equipment professional fees and services and data processing expenses
were the result of internal growth and the effect of the Company's acquisitions.
The Company has entered into two purchase and assumption  agreements which, when
completed,  will result in the  acquisition of a total of ten branch  locations,
including  the  eight  branch   locations  in  connection  with  the  Beneficial
Acquisition.  As a result,  the  Company  expects the level of  amortization  of
excess of cost over fair value of assets acquired to increase in future periods,
subsequent to the completion of the transactions.

         Income Taxes.  Applicable  income taxes  increased $1.5 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 1998 as compared to the same period in 1997. The
increase resulted from higher pre-tax earnings.


Year 2000 Compliance

         The Company's  board of directors  has approved a Year 2000  compliance
plan  designed  to  address  the  concerns  raised  by the  Year  2000  problem.
Management provides progress reports at least quarterly to the board.

         The areas  covered by the plan are  hardware,  software,  customers and
service  providers.  The Company has identified  specific issues related to each
area. At September 30, 1998, the Company has completed the  assessment  phase of
the plan in which  assessment  tasks  have been  completed  in each  group.  The
Company has begun its testing phase and its customer  awareness phase.  Both are
expected to continue until the end of the current year. The Company is satisfied
with the  results of the  testing it has  completed  to date.  The  Company  has
contacted  its critical  service  providers  and will continue to pursue each of
their  compliance  efforts.  Contingency  plans have been developed for critical
functions  provided by third-party  service  providers.  There have been no data
center  projects  that have been  deferred due to resources  applied to the Year
2000 effort.

         The  Company's   primary  system   software,   licensed  from  Kirchman
Corporation  ("Kirchman"),  has been  represented  to be Year 2000  compliant by
Kirchman.  The Company has received the results of an independent  testing group
verifying such compliance.

         It is  expected  that Year  2000  compliance  will  cost  approximately
$180,000,  of which about  $60,000 has been spent.  The primary  expenditure  of
funds  will  be for the  upgrade  of  equipment,  and to a much  lesser  extent,
computer software,  employee salaries and related employee benefits.  The source
of funds for Year 2000  costs are  expected  to derive  from  current  earnings.
Management  believes the cost of non-information  technology expenses related to
Year 2000  compliance  will not have a material  adverse effect on the Company's
financial statements.

Item 3:  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Asset and Liability Management

The  Company's  exposure to interest  rate risk results from the  difference  in
maturities on  interest-bearing  liabilities and  interest-earning  assets,  the
relative sensitivity of interest-bearing liabilities and interest-earning assets
to interest  rates and the volatility of interest  rates.  Because the Company's
assets have a longer maturity than its liabilities,  the Company's earnings will
tend  to be  negatively  affected  during  periods  of  rising  interest  rates.
Conversely, this mismatch should benefit the Company during periods of declining
interest rates.  Management monitors the relationship  between the interest rate
sensitivity of the Company's assets and liabilities. In this regard, the Company
emphasizes  the  origination of short-term  commercial  loans and revolving home
equity loans and de-emphasizes the origination of long-term mortgage loans.

Gap Analysis

Banks and bank holding companies are concerned with the extent to which they are
able  to  match  maturities  of  interest-earning  assets  and  interest-bearing
liabilities.  Examining  the extent to which such  assets  and  liabilities  are
interest-rate  sensitive  facilitates  such  matching and by monitoring a bank's
interest  rate  sensitivity  gap.  An asset or  liability  is  considered  to be
interest-rate  sensitive  if it will  mature or reprice  within a specific  time
period.  The  interest  rate  sensitivity  gap  is  defined  as  the  excess  of
interest-earning assets maturing or repricing within a specific time period over
interest-bearing liabilities maturing or repricing within that time period. On a
quarterly  basis,  the Company  monitors its gap,  primarily  its  six-month and
one-year  maturities  and works to maintain its gap within a range that does not
exceed a negative  15% of total  assets.  The Company  attempts to maintain  its
ratio of  rate-sensitive  assets to  rate-sensitive  liabilities  between 75% to
125%.

Management  and the Board of  Directors  monitor its gap  position at  quarterly
meetings.  The Asset/Liability  Committee of the Bank's Board of Directors meets
to discuss  interest rate risk. The Bank uses  simulation  models to measure the
impact of potential  changes of up to 200 basis points in interest  rates on net
interest income. As described below, sudden changes to interest rates should not
have a material impact on the Company's  results of operations.  Should the Bank
experience a positive or negative  mismatch in excess of the approved  range, it
has a  number  of  remedial  options.  It has  the  ability  to  reposition  its
investment  portfolio to include  securities  with more  advantageous  repricing
and/or  maturity  characteristics.  It can attract  variable- or fixed-rate loan
products as appropriate.  It can also price deposit products to attract deposits
with maturity characteristics that can lower its exposure to interest rate risk.

At June 30, 1998, the Bank had a slightly  positive position with respect to its
exposure  to  interest  rate risk:  total  interest-earning  assets  maturing or
repricing within one year exceeded total  interest-bearing  liabilities maturing
or  repricing  during  the same time  period  by $6.5  million,  representing  a
positive  cumulative  one-year  gap  ratio of 0.56%.  As a result,  the yield on
interest-earning  assets of the Bank should adjust to changes in interest  rates
at a slightly faster rate than the cost of interest-bearing liabilities. Because
the Bank had negligible  negative gap  characteristics  in its shorter  maturity
periods,  its  one-year gap  mismatch  sould have little  effect on net interest
margin during periods of rising or declining market interest rates; there can be
no assurance of this,  however,  as among other things,  the Bank's gap position
changes from period to period.

The following table summarizes the maturity and repricing characteristics of the
Bank's  interest-earning  assets and  interest-bearing  liabilities  at June 30,
1998.  All amounts are  categorized  by their actual  maturity or repricing date
with the exception of interest-bearing demand deposits and savings deposits. The
Bank's  historical  experience  with both  interest-bearing  demand deposits and
savings deposits  reflects an  insignificant  change in deposit levels for these
core  deposits.  As a result,  the Bank allocates  approximately  35% to the 0-3
month category and 65% to the 1-5 year category.

As of the date of filing this report,  September  30, 1998 gap data for the Bank
was not  available.  Management  of the Bank does not believe that the September
30, 1998 gap  position of the Bank has  materially  adversely  changed  from the
Bank's gap position as of June 30, 1998.
