                                                  ======             ======


         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 Company 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 follow:

         Of  the  total  demand   deposits,   approximately,   $257,376,000  and
         $231,688,000 are non-interest bearing at June 30, 2000 and December 31,
         1999, respectively.


(5)      Other Comprehensive Income

         The Company  classifies  items of other  comprehensive  income by their
         nature in a financial statement and displays the accumulated balance of
         other  comprehensive  income  separately  from  retained  earnings  and
         additional  paid-in  capital in the equity  section of a  statement  of
         financial position.  Amounts categorized as other comprehensive  income
         represent  net  unrealized  gains or  losses on  investment  securities
         available for sale,  net of income taxes.  Other  comprehensive  income
         (losses)  for the  three-month  periods  ended  June 30,  2000 and 1999
         amounted  to   ($199,000)   and   ($8,392,000),   respectively.   Other
         comprehensive  income (losses) for the six-month periods ended June 30,
         2000 and 1999 amounted to $2,347,000 and ($12,757,000), respectively.

(6)      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 net of  treasury  shares  outstanding  during the period.
         Diluted  earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the
         weighted  average  number of shares  of  common  stock net of  treasury
         shares  outstanding  increased by the number of common  shares that are
         assumed to have been  purchased  with the proceeds from the exercise of
         the stock  options  (treasury  stock method) along with the assumed tax
         benefit  from  the  exercise  of  non-qualified  stock  options.  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 common
         stock  outstanding and potential common shares for periods prior to the
         date of the Company's stock dividends. In May 2000 the Company declared
         a 5% stock dividend for which treasury  shares were reissued  resulting
         in offsetting decreases in treasury stock and retained earnings of $5.2
         million.

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


Financial Condition

         Total  assets at June 30,  2000  increased  by $48.3  million  to $2.03
billion as compared to $1.98  billion at December  31,  1999.  The  increase was
primarily  due to an increase in net loans of $77.8  million and in cash and due
from  banks of $5.4  million  offset  by a  decrease  in  investment  securities
available for sale of $16.3 million and restricted  equity  investments of $14.6
million.  Also offsetting the increase was a $3.9 million  decrease in excess of
cost over fair value of assets acquired.

         Investment  securities available for sale decreased $16.3 million, from
$834.7  million at December  31, 1999 to $818.4  million at June 30,  2000.  The
decrease was primarily the result of principal  repayments and maturities offset
by a decrease in unrealized losses of $2,347,000.

         Net loans at June 30, 2000 amounted to $978.4  million,  an increase of
$77.7  million  from $900.7  million at December  31,  1999.  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 June 30,
2000 was 0.60%  compared to 0.54% at December  31,  1999.  The  increase in this
ratio was the result of three  financial

service  centers  transferred  to real estate  owned in June 2000.  The ratio of
allowance for loan losses to total  non-performing loans was 226.74% at June 30,
2000  compared to 199.05% at December 31,  1999.  The increase in this ratio was
the result of a higher level of allowance  for loan losses and a lower amount of
non-performing loans at June 30, 2000. The ratio of allowance for loan losses to
total loans was 1.00% at June 30, 2000 compared to 0.96% at December 31, 1999.

         Restricted  equity  investments  decreased  $14.6  million  from  $44.8
million at December 31, 1999 to $30.2 million at June 30, 2000. The decrease was
the  result  of the  redemption  of  Federal  Home  Loan  Bank  (FHLB)  Stock in
accordance with a decrease in the Company's borrowings at the FHLB.

         Excess of cost  over  fair  value of  assets  acquired  decreased  $3.9
million  from $60.7  million at December  31, 1999 to $56.8  million at June 30,
2000. The decrease was a result of scheduled amortization.

         Total  liabilities at June 30, 2000 amounted to $1.87 billion  compared
to $1.83 billion at December 31, 1999, an increase of $42.1 million.

         Total  deposits  amounted to $1.36  billion at June 30,  2000,  a $67.4
million increase over December 31, 1999 deposits of $1.29 billion.  The increase
was primarily due to an increase in demand deposits of $71.7 million from $526.8
million at December 31, 1999 to $598.5  million at June 30, 2000 and an increase
of $13.8 million in time  deposits  from $610.7  million at December 31, 1999 to
$624.5  million at June 30,  2000.  The  increase  was  offset by a decrease  in
savings  deposits of $18.1  million from $153.8  million at December 31, 1999 to
$135.7 million at June 30, 2000.

         Advances  from the Federal Home Loan Bank  amounted to $79.2 million at
June 30, 2000  compared to $119.7  million at December  31,  1999, a decrease of
$40.5 million. Federal funds purchased at June 30, 2000 amounted to $4.5 million
compared to $5.7  million at December 31, 1999.  Decreases  in  borrowings  were
primarily due to improved liquidity management.

         Securities  sold under  agreements  to  repurchase  amounted  to $423.1
million at June 30, 2000  compared to $407.9  million at December 31,  1999,  an
increase  of  $15.2  million.  The  increase   represented   increased  customer
repurchase  agreements  resulting  from the continued  growth from the Company's
cash management program.

         Total shareholders' equity grew by $6.7 million,  from $91.1 million at
December 31, 1999, to $97.8 million at June 30, 2000. The increase was primarily
the result of current year  earnings  amounting  to $3.9 million  augmented by a
$2.3 million improvement in accumulated other comprehensive income. In May 2000,
the Company declared a 5% stock dividend for which treasury shares were reissued
resulting in  offsetting  decreases in treasury  stock and retained  earnings of
$5.2 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 a strong loan demand and is closely
monitoring   loan  growth  for  the  remainder  of  the  current   fiscal  year.
Historically,  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 and sell or participate loans to other institutions.

                                       10
<PAGE>
         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. Through its capital
planning, the Company regularly evaluates the growth rate of commercial loans in
light of the internal growth rate of capital.

         Under approved lending  decisions,  the Company had commitments to lend
additional  funds totaling  approximately  $253,796,000 at June 30, 2000. In the
normal  course  of  business,  the  Company  also has  various  commitments  and
contingent liabilities,  such as customers' letters of credit (including standby
letters of credit of $21,809,000) at June 30, 2000.

         It is the Company's  intent to maintain  adequate  levels of risk-based
capital. Management monitors the Company's capital levels, and when appropriate,
will recommend  additional  capital  raising  efforts to the Company's  board of
directors.



Comparison  of  Operating  Results for the Three  Months Ended June 30, 2000 and
1999.

         General.  Net income  decreased  by $876,000 for the three months ended
June 30, 2000 to $1.6  million from $2.4 million for the three months ended June
30, 1999. Included in the net income for the three months ended June 30, 2000 is
an after tax charge of  approximately  $900,000 for a write-down  of  non-credit
related assets. Net interest income increased $3.3 million and the provision for
loan losses increased  $65,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2000 compared
to the same period in 1999.  Other income decreased by $717,000 to $1.85 million
for the three  months  ended June 30, 2000 as compared to $2.57  million for the
three months ended June 30, 1999.  Other  expenses  increased by $3.9 million to
$14.6  million  for the three  months  ended June 30,  2000 as compared to $10.7
million for the three months ended June 30, 1999.

         On September 9, 1999, the Company purchased  fourteen New Jersey branch
offices from First Union National Bank. The Company acquired  approximately $230
million of branch  deposits and $2.6 million in branch cash.  The Company paid a
premium of approximately $23.7 million, which is being amortized over 12 years.

         Net  Interest  Income.  The  increase  in  net  interest  income  (on a
tax-equivalent basis) was due to a $11.9 million increase in interest income (on
a tax-equivalent  basis) partially offset by a $8.5 million increase in interest
expense.

       Net interest income (on a tax-equivalent  basis) increased $3.4 million
or 27.3% to $15.8  million for the three months ended June 30, 2000  compared to
$12.4  million for the same period 1999.  The  increase is due  primarily to the
growth of average  interest-earning assets from $1.4 billion at June 30, 1999 to
$1.9  billion at June 30,  2000 with an  increase  in yield of 50 basis  points.
Offsetting  the  increase in asset  yield was an  increase  in interest  bearing
liabilities  cost of funds of 78 basis points which  accounted for a decrease in
the interest  rate spread from 3.04% for the three months ended June 30, 1999 to
2.76% for the same period 2000. A change in the mix of  interest-earning  assets
and  interest-bearing  liabilities  had a  slightly  negative  impact on the net
interest margin, which declined 24 basis points to 3.32% for the June 30, 2000.

         The  increase  in  average  interest-earning  assets of $511.9  million
reflects an increase of $244.4  million in average  loans and $266.6  million in
average investment securities. These assets were funded by an increase of $473.8
million of average interest-bearing liabilities and an increase of $36.3 million
of average non-interest  bearing  liabilities.  The increase in interest-bearing
and non-interest  bearing liabilities reflects the September 1999 acquisition of
branches  and  deposits  from First  Union,  the growth of  deposits at existing
financial  service  centers,  the opening of new financial  service  centers and
increases in borrowings.

         The  decrease in interest  rate spread for the three  months ended June
30, 2000,  compared to the same period in 1999,  was  primarily  due to a higher
cost of funds on interest-bearing  deposit accounts and borrowed money. The cost
of funds on  interest-bearing  deposit  accounts  increased 61 basis points from
3.88% for the three  months  ended June 30, 1999 to 4.49% for the same period in
2000 as a result  of an  increase  in  interest  rates on core  deposits  and an
increase in higher  yielding time deposits.  The cost of funds on borrowed money
increased  140 basis  points from 4.78% for the three months ended June 30, 1999
to 6.18% for the same period in 2000.

         The  increase in the average  yield on loans for the three months ended
June 30,  2000  compared  to the same  period in 1999  reflects  a  increase  in
interest on loans resulting from the gradual raising of the prime rate from 8.0%
at June 30, 1999 to 9.5% at June 30, 2000.  The increase in the average yield on
investment  securities  was due  primarily to increases in LIBOR and  additional
securities purchased yielding higher interest rates.

         Provision  for Loan  Losses.  For the three months ended June 30, 2000,
the  provision  for loan losses  amounted to $585,000,  an increase of $ 65,000,
compared to $520,000 for the same period in 1999.  Management regularly performs
an  analysis  to  identify  the  inherent  risk of loss  in the  Company's  loan
portfolio.  This analysis includes evaluations of concentrations of credit, past
loss experience, current economic conditions, amount and composition of the loan
portfolio,  estimated  fair value of  underlying  collateral,  loan  commitments
outstanding, delinquencies and other factors.

         Other  Income.  Other income  decreased  $717,000  for the  three-month
period  ended June 30, 2000  compared to the  three-month  period ended June 30,
1999.  In most part,  the  decrease  was a result of the closing of Sun Mortgage
Company in  February  2000.  There was no other  income  from  mortgage  banking
activities  for the three month period ended June 30, 2000  compared to $738,000
for the same period in 1999.  This  decease was offset by an increase in service
charges on deposit accounts.

         Other Expenses. Other expenses increased approximately $3.9 million, to
$14.6  million  for the three  months  ended June 30,  2000 as compared to $10.7
million  for the same  period in 1999.  Of the  increase,  $1.4  million  was in
salaries and employee benefits,  $476,000 was in occupancy expense, $487,000 was
in  amortization  of excess of cost over fair value of assets  acquired and $1.2
million was in other miscellaneous  expenses.  Of these miscellaneous  expenses,
$350,000 is attributable to a provision for other real estate and  approximately
$250,000 represented the net charge-offs of various non-credit assets during the
second  quarter ended June 30, 2000.  The remaining  increase in other  expenses
reflects the Company's continued  commitment to support its expansion.  Salaries
and benefits  increased due to additional  staff positions in financial  service
centers,  lending,  loan review and other support  departments.  The increase in
occupancy  expense  was the  result of  internal  growth  and the  effect of the
Company's acquisitions.

         Income  Taxes.  Applicable  income taxes  decreased  $504,000  for  the
three months ended June 30, 2000 as compared to the same period in 1999.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2000 and 1999.

         General.  Net income decreased by $1.0 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2000 to $3.9  million  from $4.9  million for the six months ended June
30, 1999. Net interest income  increased $6.9 million and the provision for loan
losses increased $184,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2000 compared to the
same period in 1999.  Other income decreased by $772,000 to $4.1 million for the
six months  ended June 30, 2000 as  compared to $4.9  million for the six months
ended June 30, 1999.  Other expenses  increased by $7.3 million to $28.1 million
for the six months ended June 30, 2000 as compared to $20.8  million for the six
months  ended June 30,  1999.  The  return on average  assets for the six months
ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 were 0.38% and 0.64%,  respectively.  The return on
average  equity for the six months  ended June 30,  2000 and 1999 were 8.49% and
12.60%, respectively.

         Net  Interest  Income.  The  increase  in  net  interest  income  (on a
tax-equivalent basis) was due to a $22.7 million increase in interest income (on
a tax-equivalent basis) partially offset by a $15.7 million increase in interest
expense.

         Net interest income (on a tax-equivalent  basis) increased $7.0 million
or 28.6% to $31.5  million for the six months  ended June 30,  2000  compared to
$24.5 million for the same period in 1999.  The increase is due primarily to the
growth of average  interest-earning assets from $1.4 billion at June 30, 1999 to
$1.9  billion at June 30,  2000,  with an increase in yield of 46 basis  points.
Offsetting  the  increase in asset  yield was an  increase  in interest  bearing
liabilities  cost of funds of 66 basis points which  accounted for a decrease in
the interest  rate spread from 3.01% for the three months ended June 30, 1999 to
2.81%  for the same  period  in 2000.  A change  in the mix of  interest-earning
assets and  interest-bearing  liabilities had a slightly  negative impact on the
net interest margin,  which declined 18 basis points to 3.35% for the six months
ended June 30, 2000.


         The  increase  in  average  interest-earning  assets of $496.0  million
reflects an increase of $235.9  million in average  loans and $264.1  million in
average investment securities. These assets were funded by an increase of $462.7
million of average  interest-bearing and non-interest bearing liabilities and an
increase  of $34.7  million of average  non-interest  bearing  liabilities.  The
increase in interest-bearing liabilities reflects the September 1999 acquisition
of branches  and deposits  from First Union,  the growth of deposits at existing
financial  service  centers,  the opening of new financial  service  centers and
increases in borrowings.

         The decrease in interest  rate spread for the six months ended June 30,
2000,  compared to the same period 1999,  was  primarily due to a higher cost of
funds on interest-bearing deposit accounts and borrowed money. The cost of funds
on  interest-bearing  deposit accounts  increased 51 basis points from 3.88% for
the six  months  ended June 30,  1999 to 4.39% for the same  period in 2000 as a
result of an  increase  in interest  rates on core  deposits  and an increase in
higher yielding time deposits. The cost of funds on borrowed money increased 117
basis  points from 4.83% for the six months ended June 30, 1999 to 6.00% for the
same period in 2000.

         The  increase  in the average  yield on loans for the six months  ended
June 30, 2000  compared to the same period 1999  reflects a increase in interest
on loans  resulting from the raising of the gradual prime rate from 8.0% at June
30,  1999 to 9.5% at June  30,  2000.  The  increase  in the  average  yield  on
investment  securities  was due  primarily to increases in LIBOR and  additional
securities purchased yielding higher interest rates.

         Provision for Loan Losses.  For the six months ended June 30, 2000, the
provision  for loan losses  amounted to $1.4  million,  an increase of $184,000,
compared  to $1.2  million  for the same  period in 1999.  The  increase  in the
provision  for loan  losses  was due to  higher  levels  of  loans  outstanding.
Management  regularly performs an analysis to identify the inherent risk of loss
in  the  Company's  loan  portfolio.   This  analysis  includes  evaluations  of
concentrations  of credit,  past loss experience,  current economic  conditions,
amount and composition of the loan portfolio, estimated fair value of underlying
collateral, loan commitments outstanding, delinquencies and other factors.

         Other Income.  Other income decreased $772,000 for the six-month period
ended June 30,  2000  compared  to the same  period in 1999.  In most part,  the
decrease was a result of the closing of Sun Mortgage  Company in February  2000.
There was income of $110,000 from mortgage banking  activities for the six month
period  ended June 30,  2000  compared  to income of $1.4  million  for the same
period in 1999.  This  decrease was offset by an increase in service  charges on
deposit accounts.

         Other Expenses. Other expenses increased approximately $7.3 million, to
$28.1  million  for the six months  ended  June 30,  2000 as  compared  to $20.8
million for the same period 1999. Of the increase,  $2.6 million was in salaries
and employee benefits,  $900,000 was in occupancy  expense,  $1.0 million was in
amortization  of  excess of cost over  fair  value of assets  acquired  and $1.7
million was in miscellaneous  expenses. Of these miscellaneous expenses $350,000
was attributable to a provision for other real estate and approximately $250,000
represented the net charge-offs of various  non-credit  assets during the second
quarter ended June 30, 2000. The remaining  increase in other expenses  reflects
the  Company's  commitment  to support  its  expansion.  Salaries  and  benefits
increased  due to  additional  staff  positions  in financial  service  centers,
lending, loan review, compliance and other support 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.

         Income Taxes.  Applicable  income taxes decreased  $500,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 2000 as compared to the same period in 1999.  The decrease
resulted from lower pre-tax earnings.

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  or  repricing  characteristics  on  interest-bearing
liabilities  and  interest-earning  assets and the volatility of interest rates.
Because the Company's  assets have a longer maturity or repricing dates 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 and is also directing its retail
deposit marketing for longer term deposits of 2 - 3 years.

Gap Analysis

         Banks have become increasingly  concerned with the extent to which they
are   able  to  match   the   maturities   or   repricing   characteristics   of
interest-earning  assets and  interest-bearing  liabilities.  Such  matching  is
facilitated  by examining  the extent to which such assets and  liabilities  are
interest-rate  sensitive  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 same time  period.  On a monthly  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 25% of
total  assets.  The Company  attempts to  maintain  its ratio of  rate-sensitive
assets to rate-sensitive liabilities between 75% to 125%.

         The Asset/Liability Committee of the Banks' Board of Directors monitors
the gap position  and interest  rate risk.  The Banks use  simulation  models to
measure the impact of  potential  changes of up to 200 basis  points in interest
rates on the net  interest  income of the  Company.  Sudden  changes to interest
rates should not have a material impact to the Company's  results of operations.
Should the Banks  experience  a positive or  negative  mismatch in excess of the
approved range, the Company 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.  Management  of the  Company  may also  consider  employing
hedging  and/or  derivative  instruments  within  defined  limits to manage  its
interest rate risk.

         At June 30, 2000,  the Company had a negative  position with respect to
its exposure to interest rate risk: total interest-earning  liabilities maturing
or repricing within one year exceeded total interest-bearing  assets maturing or
repricing  during the same period by $242.2 million.  This represents a negative
cumulative   one-year  gap  ratio  of  11.94%.   As  a  result,   the  yield  on
interest-earning  assets of the  Company  should  adjust to changes in  interest
rates at a slightly slower rate than the cost of interest-bearing liabilities.

                                       18

<PAGE>

         The   following   table   summarizes   the   maturity   and   repricing
characteristics of the Company's  interest-earning  assets and  interest-bearing
liabilities  at June 30,  2000.  All amounts  are  categorized  by their  actual
maturity  or  repricing  date  with the  exception  of  interest-bearing  demand
deposits and savings deposits. As a result of prior experience during periods of
rate volatility  resulting in  insignificant  changes to levels of core deposits
and management's  estimate of future rate  sensitivities,  the Company allocates
the interest-bearing  demand deposits and savings deposits into categories noted
below. Management's allocation is based on the estimated effective duration.
