                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
                        DECEMBER 31, 1995, 1994 AND 1993
 
1--SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
  The following is a description of the more significant accounting policies of
Dauphin Deposit Corporation and subsidiaries.
 
BUSINESS
 
  Dauphin Deposit Corporation (Dauphin) is a bank holding company, incorporated
under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in 1974. Dauphin's wholly-
owned bank subsidiary is Dauphin Deposit Bank and Trust Company (the Bank),
through which Dauphin provides banking services. The Bank is engaged in the
commercial and retail banking and trust business. The Bank's mortgage banking
subsidiary, Eastern Mortgage Services, Inc. (Eastern Mortgage) is a full
service mortgage banking company which originates, services and sells first and
second residential mortgage loans of varying types primarily to the eastern
Pennsylvania and New Jersey mortgage markets. Dauphin's wholly-owned subsidiary
Hopper Soliday & Co., Inc. (Hopper Soliday) is a Delaware corporation which
engages in municipal finance, institutional sales, financial advisory and other
general securities businesses permitted for bank holding companies and their
non-bank subsidiaries.
 
BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION
 
  The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles. In preparing the financial statements,
management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet
and revenues and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ
significantly from those estimates. The material estimate that is particularly
susceptible to significant change in the near term relates to the determination
of the allowance for loan losses.
 
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
 
  The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Dauphin and
subsidiaries, including its principal subsidiary, the Bank, which includes the
Bank of Pennsylvania, Farmers Bank and Valleybank Divisions. All material
intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
INVESTMENT SECURITIES
 
  Dauphin adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 115 (SFAS 115), "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
Securities" on January 1, 1994. Under SFAS 115 investments are classified in
one of three categories and accounted for as follows: 1) debt securities that a
company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified
as held-to-maturity securities and reported at amortized cost; 2) debt and
equity securities that are bought and held principally for the purpose of
selling them in the near term are classified as trading securities and reported
at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses included in earnings; and 3)
debt and equity securities not classified as either held-to-maturity or trading
securities are classified as available-for-sale securities and reported at fair
value, with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported as
a separate component of stockholders' equity. Management has determined that
the entire investment securities portfolio will be classified as available-for-
sale.
 
  Premiums and discounts are amortized and accreted over the term of the
related securities using a method that approximates the interest method.
Realized gains or losses on the sale of investment securities (determined by
the specific identification method) are shown separately in the statements of
income. A decline in the fair

value of any investment below cost that is deemed other than temporary results
in a reduction of the carrying amount to fair value through a charge to income.
Dividend and interest income are recognized when earned.
 
ASSETS HELD FOR SALE
 
  Assets held for sale consist of the securities inventory of Hopper Soliday
and mortages held for sale, primarily the inventory of Eastern Mortgage. The
securities inventory is recorded at current quoted market value. The mortgages
held for sale are carried at the lower of aggregate cost or estimated market
value with unrealized losses recognized through a provision included in other
income. Gains and losses on the sale of mortgages held for sale are determined
using the specific identification method.
 
LOANS
 
  Loans are carried at the principal amount outstanding, net of unearned
income. Interest income is accounted for on an accrual basis. Interest income
is not accrued when, in the opinion of management, its collectibility is
doubtful. When a loan is designated as non-accrual, any accrued interest
receivable is generally charged against current earnings. Non-accruing loans
are returned to accruing status after at least six consecutive months of
current performance. Lease income is recorded using the finance method which
provides for a level rate of return on the investment outstanding.
 
  Loan fees and costs of loan origination are deferred and recognized over the
life of the loan as a component of interest income. The amortization of
deferred fees and costs is discontinued on non-accrual loans.
 
ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES
 
  The allowance for loan losses is a valuation reserve to absorb losses on
loans which may become uncollectible. The provision for loan losses is
management's estimate of the amount required to establish a reserve adequate to
reflect risks in the loan portfolio of the Bank. Loan losses are charged
directly against the allowance for loan losses, and recoveries on previously
charged off loans are added to the allowance.
 
  Management believes that the allowance for loan losses is adequate. While
management uses available information to recognize losses on loans, future
additions to the allowance may be necessary based on changes in economic
conditions. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of
their examination process, periodically review the Bank's allowance for loan
losses. Such agencies may require the Bank to recognize additions to the
allowance based on their judgments of information available to them at the time
of their examination.
 
  Dauphin adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard
No. 114 (SFAS 114), "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan", as
amended by SFAS No. 118 (SFAS 118), "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of
a Loan-Income Recognition and Disclosure" on January 1, 1995. Generally, all
non-accrual loans are deemed to be impaired. In addition, management,
considering current information and events regarding the borrowers ability to
repay their obligations, considers a loan to be impaired when it is probable
that Dauphin will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the
contractual terms of the loan agreement. In evaluating whether a loan is
impaired, management considers not only the amount that Dauphin expects to
collect but also the timing of collection. Generally, if a delay in payment is
insignificant (e.g. less than 90 days), a loan is not deemed to be impaired.

  When a loan is considered to be impaired, the amount of impairment is
measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at
the loan's effective interest rate or, at the loan's market price or fair value
of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. The majority of loans
deemed to be impaired by management are collateral dependent. Loans are
evaluated individually for impairment. Dauphin excludes smaller balance,
homogeneous loans (e.g. primarily consumer and residential mortgages) from the
evaluation for impairment. Impairment losses are included in the allowance loan
losses. Impaired loans are charged-off when management believes that the
ultimate collectibility of a loan is not likely.
 
  Income for impaired loans that are on non-accrual status is recognized using
the cash basis, while interest on impaired loans that are still accruing is
recognized using the accrual method.
 
PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT
 
  Premises and equipment are stated at cost, including capitalized interest
during construction, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Premises
and equipment under capitalized leases are recorded at the lower of the present
value of minimum lease payments or the fair value of the leased assets
determined at the inception of the lease term. Depreciation charged to
operating expense, including amounts applicable to capitalized leases, is
computed on the straight-line method for financial reporting and the straight-
line and accelerated methods for income tax purposes. Leasehold improvements
are capitalized and amortized over the lives of the respective leases or the
estimated useful life of the leasehold improvement, whichever is shorter. When
assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated
depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is
reflected in income for the period. Maintenance, repairs and minor improvements
are charged to expense as incurred; significant renewals and betterments are
capitalized.
 
OTHER ASSETS
 
  Goodwill is the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net
assets of entities acquired through business combinations that are recorded
using the purchase method of accounting. Included in other assets is $15.5
million of goodwill at December 31, 1995 and 1994. Goodwill is being amortized
using the straight-line method over periods not exceeding 15 years.
 
  Excess servicing fees are computed as the present value of the difference
between the estimated future net revenues and normal servicing revenues as
established by the federally sponsored secondary market makers. Upon the sale
of mortgage loans, excess servicing fees are deferred and amortized over the
estimated life of the related mortgages.
 
  Effective January 1, 1995, Dauphin adopted the provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 122 (SFAS 122), "Accounting for Mortgage
Servicing Rights, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 65". SFAS 122 amended
Statement 65 to require an institution to recognize as separate assets the
rights to service mortgage loans for others when a mortgage loan is sold or
securitized and servicing rights retained. When capitalizing mortgage servicing
rights, Dauphin allocates the total cost of the mortgage loans (the recorded
investment in the mortgage loans including net deferred fees or costs and any
purchase premium or discount) to the mortgage servicing rights and the loans
(without the mortgage servicing rights) based on their relative fair values.
Such fair value is primarily based on observable market prices. Mortgage
servicing rights (including purchased mortgage servicing) are amortized in
proportion to, and over the period of, estimated net servicing revenue based on
management's best estimate of remaining loan lives.
 
  Dauphin measures the impairment of servicing rights based on the difference
between the carrying amount of the servicing rights and their current fair
value. Impairment of servicing rights is recognized through a
 
                                       7

                        DECEMBER 31, 1995, 1994 AND 1993

valuation allowance. The amount of impairment recognized is the amount by which
the capitalized mortgage servicing rights exceed their fair value. For the
purpose of evaluating and measuring impairment of capitalized mortgage
servicing rights, Dauphin stratifies those rights based on the predominant risk
characteristics of the underlying loans. Dauphin primarily stratifies mortgage
servicing rights by loan type (e.g. conventional or government guaranteed and
adjustable-rate or fixed-rate mortgage loans). Valuation techniques for
measuring fair value incorporate assumptions that market participants use in
estimating future servicing income and expense, including assumptions about
prepayment, default and interest rates.
 
DERIVATIVES
 
  Dauphin's mortgage subsidiary, Eastern Mortgage, has limited involvement with
derivative financial instruments and does not use them for trading purposes.
Derivatives are primarily used to manage well-defined interest rate risks, as
described in Note 16.
 
TRUST ASSETS
 
  Assets held by the Bank in a fiduciary or agency capacity are not included in
the consolidated financial statements since such assets are not assets of the
Bank. Income from fiduciary activities is recorded on an accrual basis.
 
BENEFIT PLANS
 
  Pension plan costs for Dauphin's defined benefit plans are accounted for in
accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 87 "Employers' Accounting for Pensions". The projected unit credit method
is utilized for measuring net periodic pension cost over the employees' service
lives.
 
  Dauphin's cost of retiree health care and other postretirement benefits are
accounted for in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial
Acccounting Standards No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement
Benefits Other Than Pensions".
 
  Dauphin provides benefits to former or inactive employees after employment
but before retirement. These costs are accounted for in accordance with the
provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 112, "Employers'
Accounting for Postemployment Benefits".
 
INCOME TAXES
 
  Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred
tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences
attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of
existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating
loss and tax credit carryforwards. 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 effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax
rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
 
NET INCOME PER SHARE
 
  Net income per share is computed based upon the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding and dilutive common equivalent shares from stock
options and performance shares using the
 
                                       8

treasury stock method. The difference between primary and fully diluted
earnings per share is not significant in any year.
 
STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS
 
  For purposes of the statement of cash flows, Dauphin considers cash and due
from banks and overnight federal funds sold to be cash and cash equivalents.
 
RECLASSIFICATIONS
 
  Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts to conform
with current year classifications.
 
2--ACQUISITIONS
 
  On July 1, 1994, Dauphin acquired Eastern Mortgage, a mortgage banking
company headquartered in Trevose, Pennsylvania, for approximately $21.0 million
in cash pursuant to a definitive agreement signed in May 1994. The acquisition
was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. Therefore, the
results of operations of Eastern Mortgage from the date of acquisition are
included with the results of Dauphin. The excess of the purchase price over the
fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired of $12.5 million has been
recorded as goodwill and is being amortized on a straight-line basis over 15
years.
 
3--RESTRICTIONS ON CASH AND DUE FROM BANK ACCOUNTS AND INVESTMENT SECURITIES
 
  The Bank is required to maintain average reserve balances with the Federal
Reserve Bank. The average amount of these required reserve balances at December
31, 1995 and 1994 was approximately $80,353,000 and $78,522,000, respectively.
 
  The Bank is required to maintain an investment in Federal Home Loan Bank of
Pittsburgh stock of $14,987,200 which is included with equity securities.

transactions with unrelated persons and do not involve more than normal risk of
collectibility. The aggregate dollar amount of these loans, which excludes
aggregate loans totaling less than $60,000 to any one related party, is as

  In November 1986, Dauphin issued $35,000,000, 8.70% Senior Notes due 1996 at
par. These Senior Notes are not subordinated in right of payment to any other
unsecured indebtedness of Dauphin.
 
  Aggregate long-term debt maturities, for each of the next five years are as
follows:
 
  1996--$35,095,000; 1997--$107,000; 1998--$86,000; 1999--$5,038,000; 2000--
$92,000
 
  At December 31, 1995, Dauphin and its subsidiaries had unused lines of credit
totaling approximately $3,000,000 with a non-affiliated bank.
 
12--RESTRICTION ON PAYMENT OF DIVIDENDS
 
  Certain restrictions exist regarding the ability of the subsidiaries to
transfer funds to Dauphin in the form of cash dividends. Dauphin and the Bank
are required to maintain minimum amounts of capital to total risk weighted
assets as defined by the banking regulators. The requirement is to have a
minimum Tier 1 and total capital ratios of 4.00% and 8.00%, respectively. The
Bank may not pay dividends to Dauphin, which would allow these risk-based
capital ratios to fall below the minimum capital requirements. Under these
policies and subject to the restrictions applicable to the Bank, the Bank could
declare, without prior regulatory approval, aggregate dividends of $26.0
million, plus net profits for 1996.

                        DECEMBER 31, 1995, 1994 AND 1993
 
  Included in the table above is the recognition of certain temporary
differences for which no deferred tax expense or benefit was recognized in the
consolidated statements of income. Such items include unrealized gains and
losses on certain investments in debt and equity securities accounted for under
SFAS 115 and book and tax basis differences relating to business combinations
accounted for under the purchase method of accounting.
 
  Management is of the opinion that it is more likely than not that the
deferred tax asset of $21,825,000 will be realized since Dauphin has had a long
history of earnings and has carryback potential greater than the deferred tax
asset. Management is not aware of any evidence that would preclude Dauphin from
ultimately realizing this asset.
 
14--BENEFIT PLANS
 
  The Bank has a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan covering
substantially all employees. The Plan's benefit formulas generally base
payments to retired employees upon their length of service and a percentage of
qualifying compensation during the final years of employment. Dauphin's funding
policy is to contribute annually the maximum amount that can be deducted for
federal income tax purposes. Contributions are intended to provide not only for
benefits attributed to service to date but also for those expected to be earned
in the future.
 
  The following table sets forth the pension plan's funded status and amounts
recognized in Dauphin's consolidated financial statements at December 31, 1995
and 1994:

                        DECEMBER 31, 1995, 1994 AND 1993
 
  The assumed postretirement health care cost trend rate used in measuring the
accumulated postretirement benefit obligation was 16 1/2% in 1992, the year of
adoption, decreasing per year to an ultimate rate of 5 1/2% in 2005 (10% at
December 31, 1995) and thereafter over the projected payout period of benefits.
 
  The health care cost trend rate assumption has a significant effect on the
amounts reported. For example, a one-percentage-point increase in the assumed
health care cost trend would increase the accumulated postretirement benefit
obligation by $1,760,000 at December 31, 1995 and increase the aggregate of the
service and interest cost components by $190,000 for the year ended December
31, 1995.
 
  Dauphin offers a savings plan for all eligible employees. Under the plan,
Dauphin contributes 25% of the participants' contribution which cannot exceed
10% of their salaries. Participants' contributions are at all times fully
vested, and Dauphin's contributions become fully vested with two years of
service. Contributions to the plan amounted to $581,000, $563,000 and $468,000
during 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
 
  In 1993, Dauphin adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 112,
"Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits". The adoption resulted in
an incremental cost of $26,500, $30,000 and $500,000 to salaries and benefits
expense in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. This accrual was established to
record the liability for benefits to former or inactive employees after
employment but before retirement. The balance at December 31, 1995 is $556,500.
 
15--EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN, STOCK OPTION PLAN AND STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
 
  Under the employee stock purchase plan, all eligible employees may purchase
shares of Dauphin's common stock through payroll deductions (limited to an
amount aggregating 10% of annual base pay). The purchase price, established 30
days prior to the offering date, is not less than 85% or more than 100% of the
average market price on the offering date or exercise date, whichever is lower.
840,000 shares of common stock have been authorized to be offered under the
plan, of which 726,974 shares have been issued. Because of a difference between
the plan offering date, and Dauphin's year-end, no shares were under option at
December 31, 1995.
 
  During 1987, the shareholders approved the adoption of the Stock Option Plan
of 1986 (the Plan). Under the Plan, Dauphin may grant either qualified or non-
qualified stock options to key employees for the purchase of up to 1,193,000
shares of common stock. The exercise price of options granted may not be less
than 85% of the fair market value of Dauphin's common stock at the date of
grant. Options become exercisable over periods of one to five years and expire
ten years from the date of grant.

  During 1995, the shareholders approved the adoption of the 1995 Stock
Incentive Plan (1995 Plan). Under the 1995 Plan, Dauphin may grant incentive
stock options, non-qualified stock options, restricted stock awards,
performance share awards and other awards that provide a participant with the
right to purchase or otherwise acquire Dauphin common stock or that are valued
by reference to the market value of Dauphin common stock. In 1995, Dauphin
entered into Performance Share Agreements with certain key employees as
permitted under the 1995 Plan. The Performance Share Agreements entitle these
employees to a grant of Dauphin common stock after a three year period if
specific corporate goals are realized. During 1995, Dauphin recognized $.4
million of expense related to Performance Share Agreements.
 
  In connection with the adoption of a shareholder rights plan on January 22,
1990, Dauphin declared a dividend distribution of one Common Stock Purchase
Right (a Right) for each outstanding share of common stock of Dauphin. The
Rights are exercisable only if a person or group of affiliated persons acquires
or announces an intention to acquire 18% of the common stock of Dauphin and
Dauphin's Board of Directors does not redeem the Rights during the specified
redemption period. Initially, each Right, upon becoming exercisable, would
entitle the holder to purchase from Dauphin one share of common stock at the
specified exercise price which is subject to adjustment (currently $50 per
share). Once the Rights become exercisable, if any person or group acquires 18%
of the common stock of Dauphin, the holder of a Right, other than the acquiring
person or group, will be entitled, among other things, to purchase shares of
common stock having a value equal to two times the exercise price of the Right.
The Board of Directors is entitled to redeem the Rights for $.001 per Right at
any time before expiration of the redemption period. The Board of Directors
may, at any time after the Rights become exercisable and prior to the time any
person becomes a 50% beneficial owner of Dauphin's shares of common stock,
exchange each of the outstanding Rights (except Rights of the acquiring person
or group which are voided) for one share of common stock, subject to
adjustment. The Rights will expire on January 22, 2000, unless earlier redeemed
by Dauphin.
 
  During 1994, Dauphin announced that the Board of Directors authorized the
repurchase of up to 2,000,000 shares of the outstanding stock. In February
1995, an additional 1,500,000 shares were authorized for

repurchase. Available investments are being used to fund the share repurchases.
Dauphin will use the shares for general corporate purposes, including the
Employee Stock Purchase Plan, Stock Option Plans, the Dividend Reinvestment and
Stock Purchase Plan, and other appropriate uses. During 1995 and 1994, Dauphin
repurchased 630,000 shares for $16.1 million and 1,744,500 shares for $42.4
million, respectively.
 
16--FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
Off-Balance-Sheet Risk and Concentrations of Credit Risk
 
  In the normal course of business, Dauphin is a party to financial instruments
with off-balance-sheet risk which/or meet the financing needs of its customers
and which reduces Dauphin's exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. These
financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, financial
guarantees and standby letters of credit. Those instruments involve, to varying
degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount
recognized in the balance sheet.
 
  For commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit, Dauphin's
exposure to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the other party is
represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. Dauphin uses the
same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it
does for on-balance-sheet instruments.
 
  Dauphin had the following off-balance-sheet financial instruments at December
31:

     Purchased call and put options.....................                 2,500
</TABLE>
 
  Commitments to extend credit, which includes loans and lines of credit, are
agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any
condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed
expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee.
Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon,
the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash
requirements. Dauphin evaluates each customer's creditworthiness on a case-by-
case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by Dauphin
upon extension of credit, is based on management's credit evaluation of the
customer. Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable,
inventory, property, plant and equipment, and income-producing commercial
properties.
 
  Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by Dauphin to
guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are
primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements,
including commercial paper, bond financing, and similar transactions. The terms
of the letters of

credit vary from one month to 24 months and may have renewal features. The
credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as
that involved in extending loans to customers. Dauphin holds collateral
supporting those commitments, as deemed necessary.
 
  Most of the Bank's business activity is with customers located within the
Bank's defined market area, principally Central Pennsylvania. The Eastern
Pennsylvania and New Jersey mortgage markets are served by Eastern Mortgage,
the Bank's mortgage subsidiary. However, the Bank will grant commercial,
residential and consumer loans throughout Pennsylvania. The loan portfolio is
well diversified and the Bank does not have any significant concentrations of
credit risk. However, since a significant share of the Bank's loans are within
the geographic area previously defined, a substantial portion of the Bank's
debtors' ability to honor their contracts may be significantly affected by the
level of economic activity in this area.
 
Derivative Financial Instruments
 
  Dauphin's mortgage subsidiary, Eastern Mortgage, has limited involvement with
derivative financial instruments and does not use them for trading purposes.
Derivatives are primarily used to manage well-defined interest rate risks.
 
  Eastern Mortgage is exposed to interest rate risk when it extends a
commitment to a borrower for future settlement. As interest rates increase, the
valuation of the commitment to Eastern Mortgage declines. As interest rates
decrease, a borrower is more likely to abandon the commitment, which could
cause a financial loss to Eastern Mortgage if they have committed to sell that
loan for future delivery in the secondary market.
 
  The secondary marketing department at Eastern Mortgage is primarily
responsible for mitigating the exposure to interest rate risk through the use
of certain hedging techniques. This is accomplished by using a combination of
charging non-refundable commitment fees when the borrower elects to lock in
their interest rate; selling loans in the secondary market for future delivery
on a mandatory basis (via forward and future delivery commitments with third-
party investors); and purchasing options.
 
  Forward commitments are contracts wherein Eastern Mortgage agrees to make
delivery of a specified type of loan at a specified future date and price. As
loans close and are pooled for delivery, forward commitments are filled and
executed, and the primary objective of hedging is achieved. However, in the
normal course of business, to the extent that management believes that market
conditions may change favorably, or fewer loans are closed than previously
anticipated, certain forward commitments may be paired-off. In instances where
management paired-off forward commitments on the basis of certain expectations
of market conditions, any gains or losses arising from paired-off transactions
are deferred on the date of the pair-off, and are recognized as an adjustment
to gains (losses) on sale of mortgage loans when the underlying pool of
mortgage loans is sold. When forward commitments are paired-off due to a lack
of loans to fulfill the commitment, the gain or loss is recognized on the date
of the pair-off as an adjustment to gains (losses) on sale of mortgage loans.
 
  Certain future delivery contracts to third parties stipulate the duration of
the commitment and the amount of loans deliverable under the commitment and may
require the payment of a fee. Commitment fees are capitalized when paid and
expensed as a component of gains (losses) on sale of mortgage loans when the
commitment expires or is delivered into.
 
  Purchased call or put options are contracts that allow the holder of the
option to purchase or sell a financial instrument at a specified price and
within a specified period of time from the seller, or "writer," of the option.
Eastern Mortgage purchases call options on treasury securities and put options
on mortgage backed securities as part of its interest rate risk management
strategy. The risk of loss is limited to the price paid for the
 
                                      21

option. The cost of all such options is expensed as an adjustment to gains
(losses) on sale of mortgage loans when the options expire. Any gain realized
at the time an option is exercised is deferred, and subsequently recognized
when the underlying pool of loans is sold.
 
  In the ordinary course of business, Eastern Mortgage deliberately exposes a
portion of its mortgage loan portfolio (warehouse and pipeline, net of
estimated fall-out) to interest rate risk, as volume and market conditions
warrant. This exposure represents those loans which have closed or are expected
to close which are not hedged at a given point in time. At December 31, 1995,
the maximum exposure position authorized by management is $20 million. The
secondary marketing department produces a daily exposure report summarizing the
exposure position. This report is reviewed and adjustments to the exposure
position, to the extent considered necessary by management, are made daily.
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
  Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, "Disclosure about Fair
Value of Financial Instruments" (SFAS 107) requires disclosure of the fair
value of financial instruments. The majority of Dauphin's assets and
liabilities are considered financial instruments. Significant assumptions and
estimates were used in calculation of fair market values.
 
  The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of
each class of Dauphin's financial instruments for which it is practicable to
estimate that value:
 
Cash and short-term investments
 
  The fair value for cash and short-term instruments is estimated to be book
value, due to the short maturity of, and negligible credit concerns within,
those instruments.
 
Investment securities
 
  The fair value for debt and marketable equity securities is based on quoted
market prices, if available. If quoted market price is not available, fair
value is estimated using quoted market prices for similar securities.
 
Assets held for sale
 
  The fair value for mortgage loans held for sale is estimated using the
current secondary market rates. For the securities inventory held for sale, the
securities are recorded at the current quoted market value.
 
Loans
 
  The fair value of loans is estimated by discounting the future cash flows
using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with
similar credit ratings. The residential mortgages and certain consumer loans
include prepayment assumptions.
 
Other financial assets
 
  The fair value for accrued interest receivable is estimated to be the current
book value. The fair value for originated mortgage servicing rights is based on
observable market prices and the fair value of excess servicing fees is the
estimated present value of the difference between the anticipated future
servicing fees and normal servicing fees using discount rates that approximate
market rates and management's estimate of future prepayment rates.

                        DECEMBER 31, 1995, 1994 AND 1993
 
Deposits
 
  The fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, such as demand deposits,
savings accounts, interest bearing demand and money market deposits, is the
amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair value of fixed
maturity certificates of deposit, including certain 18 month variable rate
certificates of deposit carrying a minimum interest rate of 10% for the 18
month term which are held in certain individual retirement accounts (as
discussed herein under Note 19--Litigation), is based on the discounted value
of contractual cash flows, using the rates currently offered for deposits of
similar remaining maturities.
 
Short-term borrowings
 
  The fair value of short-term borrowings is estimated using the current rates
for similar terms and maturities.
 
Long-term debt
 
  The fair value of long-term debt is estimated using current rates for debt
with similar terms and remaining maturities.
 
Accrued interest payable
 
  The fair value of accrued interest payable is estimated to be the current
book value.
 
Off-balance-sheet financial instruments
 
  The fair value of commitments is estimated using the fees currently charged
to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms and
present creditworthiness of the counterparties. For fixed rate loan
commitments, fair value also considers the difference between current levels of
interest rates and the committed rates. The fair value of guarantees and
letters of credit is based on fees currently charged for similar agreements.
The fair value of options is estimated based on quoted market prices.
 
Limitations
 
  The fair values estimated are dependent upon subjective assumptions and
involve significant uncertainties resulting in estimates that vary with changes
in assumptions. Any sales of financial instruments may incur potential tax and
other expenses that would not be reflected in the fair values. Any changes in
assumptions or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the
estimated fair values disclosed. The reasonable comparability between financial
institutions may not be likely due to the wide range of permitted valuation
techniques. Also, the estimates do not reflect any additional premium or
discount that could result from the sale of Dauphin's entire holdings of a
particular instrument.

19--LITIGATION
 
  Various legal actions or proceedings are pending involving Dauphin or its
subsidiaries. Management believes that the aggregate liability or loss, if any,
will not be material to Dauphin's financial condition or results of operation.
Included among outstanding litigation is a class action law suit instituted by
Dauphin seeking a declaratory judgement from the Court specifically permitting
Dauphin to discontinue offering an 18 month variable rate investment product
carrying a minimum interest rate of 10% for the 18 month term held in certain
individual retirement accounts (IRA) and/or to charge an annual maintenance fee
and fee on rollovers or transfers into the investment product. Dauphin's rights
to terminate the variable rate interest product and to charge a service fee are
in dispute and are being challenged by the holders of the IRA accounts in
question. Management intends to vigorously assert its right to terminate the 18
month variable rate investment product in accordance with its terms. Pending
the outcome of the litigation, Dauphin has continued to date to pay a 10%
interest rate with regard to the product. Counsel expects the case to go to
trial in the second quarter of 1996 and for a decision to be rendered by the
Court promptly thereafter.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
 
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Dauphin Deposit Corporation
 
  We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Dauphin
Deposit Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the
related consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity, and cash flows
for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1995. 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 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, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Dauphin
Deposit Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the
results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the
three-year period ended December 31, 1995 in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.
 
  As discussed in notes 1 and 8 to the consolidated financial statements, the
Company changed its method of accounting for mortgage servicing rights to adopt
the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board's Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 122, "Accounting for Mortgage Servicing
Rights an amendment of FASB Statement No. 65" on January 1, 1995.

Note 1 - Accounting Policies

  The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Dauphin Deposit
Corporation and subsidiaries (Dauphin), including its banking subsidiary,
Dauphin Deposit Bank and Trust Company, which includes the Bank of Pennsylvania,
Farmers Bank and Valleybank Divisions. All material intercompany balances and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

  The information contained in the financial statements is unaudited. In the
opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals,
necessary for a fair presentation of the results of interim periods have been
made. Operating results for the nine month period ended September 30, 1996 are
not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
ending December 31, 1996.

  The accounting policies followed in the presentation of interim financial
results are the same as those followed on an annual basis, with the exception of
the accounting policies related to the impairment of long lived assets and 
stock-based compensation which are discussed in Dauphin's Form 10-Q for the 
quarter ended March 31, 1996. These policies are presented on pages 36 through
40 of the 1995 Securities and Exchange Commission Form 10-K included in the 
Annual Report to Stockholders.

Note 4 - Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

     In the normal course of business, there are commitments and contingent
liabilities which are not presented in the accompanying financial statements.
The commitments and contingent liabilities include various guarantees,
commitments to extend credit and letters of credit. Dauphin does not anticipate
any material losses as a result of the commitments. The contingent liability at
September 30, 1996 represented by letters of credit issued to customers amounted
to approximately $246.1 million.


Note 5 - Litigation

     Various legal actions and proceedings are pending involving Dauphin or its
subsidiaries. Management believes that the aggregate liability or loss, if any,
resulting from such legal actions and proceedings will not be material to
Dauphin's financial condition or results of operations. Included among the
outstanding litigation is a class action law suit instituted by Dauphin in the
Court of Common Pleas of Cumberland County, Pennsylvania on February 25, 1994,
seeking a declaratory judgement from the Court specifically permitting Dauphin
to discontinue an 18 month variable rate investment product carrying a minimum
interest rate of 10% for the 18 month term, which is held in certain individual
retirement accounts (IRA). The aggregate balance of the IRA accounts was
approximately $195.4 million at September 30, 1996. Dauphin's right to terminate
the variable rate investment product is in dispute and is being challenged by
the holders of the IRA accounts in question. Several days after the commencement
of trial in April, 1996, Dauphin and representatives of the class reached an
agreement in principle to settle the litigation and the trial was continued
pending negotiation of a settlement agreement. Dauphin and representatives of
the class filed a settlement agreement with the Court on May 13, 1996 which
would permit Dauphin to terminate the 18 month variable rate product as to all
class members on the effective date of the settlement and, in consideration, the
balances of those accounts would be automatically deposited in one of two new
certificates of deposit established by Dauphin for purposes of the settlement.
All class members were given the opportunity to file objections to the proposed
settlement or elect to be excluded from the class and the proposed settlement.
Approximately 89 of the 4,315 class members filed formal objections to the
settlement with the Court and 12 of the class members elected to opt out of the
settlement. A hearing was held before the Court on June 21, 1996 for the purpose
of obtaining the Court's approval of the settlement agreement. At the


                                       5

Note 5 - Litigation (continued)

hearing, counsel for Dauphin and counsel for the representatives of all class
members jointly moved for the Court's adoption of the settlement agreement and
made argument in favor thereof. The Court, by Order issued July 11, 1996, denied
the joint motion of Dauphin and the representatives of the class for settlement
of the class action in accordance with the terms and conditions of the
settlement agreement. Dauphin filed its Notice of Appeal from the trial Court's
Order denying the settlement to the Superior Court of Pennsylvania on August 9,
1996. It currently is anticipated that the Appeal will seek an Order of the
Superior Court reversing the trial Court's disapproval of the settlement
agreement or, in the alternative, otherwise providing the trial Court with
guidance which would result in the trial Court's approval of the settlement
agreement on remand or, directing decertification of the class. The Superior
Court must determine whether or not the trial Court abused its discretion in
rejecting the settlement agreement. The class representatives and counsel for
the class have informed Dauphin's counsel that they are withdrawing their
previous support for the joint settlement agreement and will vigorously oppose
Dauphin's Appeal to the Superior Court. Neither management nor counsel can
predict with any reasonable degree of certainty the outcome of the Appeal or
time frame within which the Superior Court will rule on the Appeal. If the
Appeal to the Superior Court is unsuccessful, management intends to vigorously
assert its right to terminate the 18 month variable rate investment product on
further appeal and at the trial court level. Dauphin has continued to date to
pay a 10% interest rate with regard to the 18 month variable rate investment
product.
