                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS



To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of

           HUBCO, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of HUBCO, Inc. (a
New Jersey corporation) and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1994 and 1993, and
the related consolidated statements of income, changes in stockholders' equity
and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31,
1994. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of HUBCO, Inc. and subsidiaries as
of December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the results of their operations and their
cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1994 in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, in 1992 the
Company changed its method of accounting for income taxes and in 1993 its method
of accounting for investments in debt and equity securities.

                          HUBCO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                DECEMBER 31, 1994

                        (in thousands, except share data)

(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT
    ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

      HUBCO, Inc. (the Company) provides a full range of banking services to
      individual and corporate customers through its subsidiary and branch
      locations in New Jersey. The Company is subject to the regulations of
      certain Federal and state banking agencies and undergoes periodic
      examinations by those regulatory authorities.

        Basis Of Presentation
        And Consolidation-

          The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of HUBCO,
          Inc. and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly owned.

          In preparing the consolidated 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.

          All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated
          in consolidation.

        Securities-

          The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
          115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
          Securities" (SFAS 115), effective December 31, 1993. In accordance
          with the pronouncement, the Company classified its securities as held
          to maturity, available for sale and held for trading purposes.

          Securities for which the Company has the ability and intent to hold
          until maturity are classified as held to maturity. These securities
          are carried at cost adjusted for amortization of premiums and
          accretion of discounts on a straight-line basis which is not
          materially different from the interest method. Management reviews its
          intent to hold securities to maturity as a result of changes in
          circumstances including major business combinations. Such a sale or
          transfer of held to maturity securities may be necessary to maintain
          the Company's existing interest rate risk position or credit risk
          policy.

          Securities which are held for indefinite periods of time which
          management intends to use as part of its asset/liability strategy, or
          that may be sold in response to changes in interest rates, changes in
          prepayment risk, increases in capital requirements or other similar
          factors, are classified as available for sale and are carried at fair
          value. Differences between available for sale securities' amortized
          cost and fair value are charged/credited directly to stockholders'
          equity, net of income taxes. The cost of securities sold is determined
          on a specific identification basis.

                                       -2-

          The Company has no securities held for trading purposes at December
          31, 1994 and 1993.

        Loans-

          Loans are recorded at their principal amounts outstanding. Interest
          income on loans not made on a discounted basis is credited to income
          based on principal amounts outstanding at applicable interest rates.
          Interest income on consumer credit loans is recorded primarily using
          the simple interest method.

          Recognition of interest on the accrual method is discontinued when, in
          the opinion of management, collateral is insufficient to cover
          principal and interest, or when other factors indicate that collection
          of such amounts is doubtful. A nonaccrual loan is not returned to an
          accrual status until interest is received on a current basis and other
          factors indicating collection ability is no longer doubtful.

          The net amount of all loan origination fees, direct loan origination
          costs and loan commitment fees are deferred and recognized over the
          estimated life of the related loans as an adjustment of yield.

        Allowance For Possible Loan Losses-

          The allowance is maintained at a level believed adequate by management
          to absorb potential losses in the loan portfolio. Management's
          determination of the adequacy of the allowance is based on an
          evaluation of the portfolio, past loan loss experience, current
          economic conditions, volume, growth and composition of the loan
          portfolio and other relevant factors. The allowance is increased by
          provisions charged to expense and reduced by net charge-offs.

          While management uses available information to recognize potential
          losses on loans, future additions to the allowance may be necessary
          based on changes in economic conditions, particularly in New Jersey.
          In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their
          examination processes, periodically review the Company's allowance for
          possible loan losses. Such agencies may require the Company to
          recognize additions to the allowance based on their judgments of
          information available to them at the time of their examination.

        Premises And Equipment-

          Land, buildings and furniture, fixtures and equipment are carried at
          cost. Depreciation on substantially all buildings and furniture,
          fixtures and equipment is provided using the straight-line method
          based on estimated useful lives. Maintenance and repairs are expensed
          as incurred and additions and improvements are capitalized.

        Other Real Estate-

          Other real estate (ORE) includes loan collateral that has been
          formally repossessed. These assets are transferred to ORE and recorded
          at the lower of carrying cost or fair value of the properties.
          Subsequent provisions that result from ongoing periodic evaluations of
          these ORE properties are charged to expense in the period in which
          they are identified. ORE is carried at the lower of cost or fair
          value, less estimated costs to sell. Carrying costs, such as
          maintenance and property taxes, are charged to expense as incurred.

          In December 1992, the Company contributed certain real estate
          previously acquired through foreclosure to a charity. The carrying
          amount of the other real estate contributed was $4,000.

        Intangibles-

          Intangible assets resulting from acquisitions under the purchase
          method of accounting consist of goodwill and core deposit intangibles.
          Goodwill is being amortized on a straight-line basis over five years.
          Core deposit intangibles are being amortized, on a straight-line
          basis, over the estimated average remaining lives of such intangible
          assets (primarily one to five years).

        Federal Income Taxes-

          In 1992, the Company adopted SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income
          Taxes," which changed the method of accounting for income taxes from
          the deferred method to the liability method. Certain income and
          expense items are recorded differently for financial reporting
          purposes than for Federal income tax purposes and provisions for
          deferred taxes are made in recognition of these temporary differences.

          The Company and its subsidiaries file a consolidated Federal income
          tax return. Under tax sharing agreements, each subsidiary provides for
          and settles income taxes with the Company as if they would have filed
          on a separate return basis.

        Per Share Amounts-

          Primary income per common share is computed by dividing net income,
          less dividends on the convertible preferred stock, by the weighted
          average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Fully
          diluted income per share is computed by dividing net income by the
          weighted average number of common shares plus the number of shares
          issuable on conversion of the preferred stock. Shares issuable upon
          the exercise of options are not included in the calculation of income
          per share since their effect is not material. All per share amounts
          have been retroactively adjusted for the three-for-two common stock
          split on January 14, 1995.

        Cash Equivalents-

          Cash equivalents include amounts due from banks and Federal funds
          sold.

        Reclassifications-

          Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1993 and 1992 amounts
          in order to conform with the 1994 presentation.

(2) ACQUISITIONS:

      On April 5, 1995, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of
      Jefferson National Bank (Jefferson), based in Passaic, New Jersey. Each
      share of Jefferson common stock outstanding was converted into 2.697
      shares of the Company's common stock, for a total of 609,842 shares. At
      the time of the acquisition, Jefferson had approximately $90,000 in
      assets.

                                       -4-

      On June 30, 1995, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of
      Urban National Bank (Urban), based in Franklin Lakes, New Jersey. Each
      share of Urban common stock outstanding was converted into 2.17 shares of
      the Company's common stock, for a total of 2,135,175 shares. At the time
      of the acquisition, Urban had approximately $230,000 in assets.

      The Jefferson and Urban acquisitions have been accounted for by the
      pooling of interests method of accounting. Accordingly, the accompanying
      consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Jefferson and
      Urban for all periods presented.

      Separate results of the combining entities are as follows-

      On July 1, 1994, the Company acquired Washington Bancorp, Inc.
      (Washington) for a combination of cash and convertible preferred stock
      with an aggregate consideration of approximately $40.5 million. In the
      transaction, 51% of the Washington shares were converted into preferred
      stock at .6708 per share and 49% of the Washington shares were converted
      to cash at $16.10 per share. The Bank assumed deposits of approximately
      $237.8 million, received $7.1 million in cash and cash equivalents and
      acquired $91.4 million in securities and $168.5 million in loans. The
      transaction has been accounted for as a purchase and, accordingly, the
      results of operations have been included in the accompanying consolidated
      financial statements since the date of acquisition. The excess of book
      value of net assets acquired over their fair value was approximately $5.1
      million, which is being amortized over a five-year period.

      On December 7, 1994, the Bank acquired Shoppers Charge Accounts Co.
      ("Shoppers") for approximately $16.3 million in cash, which approximated
      the fair value of the assets acquired. The Bank recorded approximately
      $63.4 million in assets and $46.9 million in liabilities.

      In July, 1994, the Bank transferred securities with an amortized cost
      basis of $117,393 and an estimated market value of $116,696 from available
      for sale to held to maturity. The transfer resulted from the Bank's review
      of its interest rate risk position in connection with the Washington
      business combination (see Note 2). As of December 31, 1994 these
      securities are included in held to maturity at the estimated fair value at
      the transfer date, and the unrealized loss is being accreted over the
      remaining life of the securities.

      In December 1994, the Bank transferred securities with an amortized cost
      basis of $98,505 and an estimated market value of $97,482 from held to
      maturity to available for sale. Securities with an amortized cost of
      $50,295 and an estimated market value of $49,996 were immediately sold
      resulting in a realized loss of $299. The purpose of the transfer and sale
      was to fund the purchase price and repay assumed debt related to the
      Shoppers business combination (see Note 2). As a result of the Shoppers
      business combination, the Company transferred securities with an amortized
      cost basis of $48,210 and an estimated fair value of $47,486 from held to
      maturity to available for sale. The purpose of the transfer was to
      maintain the Company's interest rate risk position and to adjust for the
      credit risk associated with the purchase of credit card receivables.

        Sales of securities available for sale are summarized as follows-

                                           1994           1993           1992

      Securities with a book value of $62,420 and $61,043 at December 31, 1994
      and 1993, respectively, are pledged to secure public funds, securities
      sold under agreements to repurchase and for other purposes as required or
      permitted by law.

(5) LOANS:

      The Company's loan portfolio is diversified with no industry comprising
      greater than 10% of the total outstanding. Real estate loans are primarily
      made in the local lending area. The Company requires collateral on all
      real estate loans and generally requires loan to value ratios of not
      greater than 67% for commercial mortgages and 75% for residential
      mortgages.

(6) ALLOWANCE FOR POSSIBLE LOAN LOSSES:

      The allowance for possible loan losses is based on estimates, and ultimate
      losses may vary from the current estimates. These estimates are reviewed
      periodically and, as adjustments become necessary, they are reflected in
      operations in the periods in which they become known.

      The following table presents information related to loans which are on
      nonaccrual, contractually past due ninety days or more as to interest or

      In May 1993 and October 1994, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
      issued SFAS 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan" and
      SFAS 118," Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan - Income
      Recognition and Disclosure." As defined in SFAS 114 and SFAS 118, a loan
      is impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable
      that a creditor will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the
      contractual terms of the loan agreement. SFAS 114 and SFAS 118 require
      that the measurement of impairment of a loan be based on the present value
      of expected future cash flows, net of estimated costs to sell discounted
      at the loan's effective interest rate. Impairment can also be measured
      based on a loan's observable market price or the fair value of collateral,
      if the loan is collateral dependent. If the measure of the impaired loan
      is less than the recorded investment in the loan, the Bank will be
      required to establish a valuation allowance, or adjust existing valuation
      allowances, with a corresponding charge or credit to the provision for
      possible loan losses.

        The Company adopted SFAS 114 as of January 1, 1994. The effect of
        adopting this new accounting standard was not material based on the net
        carrying value and other real estate portfolios at the date of adoption.

        At December 31, 1994 and 1993 impaired loans, comprised principally of
        nonaccruing loans totaled $15,050 and $14,473, respectively. The
        allowance for possible loan losses related to such impaired loans was
        $2,899 and $2,660 at December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively.

(8)   LOANS TO RELATED PARTIES:

        In the ordinary course of business, the Company and its subsidiaries
        have extended credit to various directors, officers and their
        associates.

        Included in the table above is $2,755 of deferred tax assets acquired
        from Washington. In order to fully realize its deferred tax assets, the
        Company will need to generate future taxable income during periods in
        which existing deductible temporary differences reverse. Based upon the
        Company's historical and current pretax earnings, management believes it
        is more likely than not that the Company will generate future net
        taxable income in sufficient amounts to realize its net deferred tax
        asset at December 31, 1994, however, there can be no assurance that the
        Company will generate earnings or a specific level of continuing
        earnings. The Company did not record any valuation allowances against
        its deferred tax assets at December 31, 1994 and 1993.

 (11) PENSION PLANS AND
      POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS:

        The Company has two noncontributory pension plans which cover eligible
        employees (a base plan and a nonbargaining plan). The plans provide for
        payments to qualified employees based on salary and years of service.
        The Company's funding policy for these plans is to make the maximum
        annual contributions allowed by the applicable regulations.

        The Company has three 401(k) savings plans covering substantially all of
        the nonbargaining employees. Under the Plan, the Company matches varying
        percentages of the first 6% of the employee's contribution. The
        Company's contributions under these Plans were approximately $184, $130
        and $67 in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively.

        In 1992, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
        No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than
        Pensions" (SFAS 106) which establishes standards of financial accounting
        and reporting for an employer that offers postretirement benefits other
        than pensions to its employees. The Company increased the annual pension
        benefits for current and future retirees and eliminated medical
        insurance coverage and group life insurance benefits for retirees. There
        was no significant impact on the consolidated results of operations or
        financial position resulting from the implementation of SFAS 106.

        In January, 1994, the Company sold $25,000 aggregate principal amount of
        subordinated debentures. The debentures, which mature 2004, bear
        interest at 7.75% per annum payable semi-annually.

(13)  PREFERRED STOCK:

        The Series "A" preferred stock was issued to stockholders of Washington
        in connection with the Company's acquisition of Washington (see Note 2).
        The Series "A" preferred stock was issued at $24.00 per share and cash
        dividends are payable at the annual rate per share of $1.44, payable in
        quarterly installments. The outstanding shares of the preferred stock
        may be redeemed as a whole at the option by vote of the Company's Board
        of Directors at any time from the later of (i) July 1, 1995, and (ii)
        the date on which the market price of the Company's common stock is
        $16.00 or more for twenty consecutive business days. The holders of any
        preferred stock, at any time prior to the date fixed for any redemption,
        have the right to surrender certificates in conversion for 1.5 shares of
        the Company's common stock. At December 31, 1994, the Company has
        1,196,716 shares of authorized common stock reserved for issuance in
        connection with the Series "A" preferred stock.

(14)  COMMON STOCK:

        On October 13, 1994, the Company announced that its Board of Directors
        had approved a 3-for-2 stock split payable January 14, 1995 to record
        holders of HUBCO Common Stock on January 3, 1995. As a result, all share
        data has been retroactively restated.

        In December, 1994 the Board of Directors adopted the 1995 Stock Option
        Plan which provides for the issuance of up to 525,000 stock options to
        employees of the Company. The option price cannot be less than the fair
        market value of the common stock at the date of the grant and options
        are granted by the Company's restricted stock committee. Under the terms
        of this plan, the Board of Directors granted 450,000 shares at an
        exercise price of $19.25 a share or $12.83, after the 3 for 2 stock
        split effective January, 1995.

        On April 20, 1993, the Board of Directors approved a 10 percent stock
        dividend payable on June 1, 1993, to holders of record at May 11, 1993.

        During 1989, the Company adopted a restricted stock plan in which
        150,000 shares of the Company's common stock may be granted to officers
        and key employees. During 1992, the Company amended the Plan to increase
        the maximum number of shares of common stock which may be awarded to
        495,000 shares, after giving retroactive effect to stock dividends and
        the stock split. During 1994 and 1993, 54,450 and 54,780 shares of
        common stock were awarded which vest between two to five years from the
        date of grant. The value of shares issued that have not been earned
        ($1,266) and ($946) has been recorded as a reduction of stockholders'
        equity for 1994 and 1993, respectively. Amortization of restricted stock
        awards charged to expense amounted to $389, $278 and $272 in 1994, 1993
        and 1992, respectively.

        During 1993, the Company adopted a stock option plan in which 165,000
        shares of the Company's common stock may be granted to nonemployee
        directors. The options are granted at an exercise price equal to the
        fair market value at the date of grant and will vest and become
        exercisable three years after the date of grant. During 1993, 4,125
        options were granted. Nonemployee directors who elect not to participate
        in the plan are eligible for benefits under an alternative arrangement.
        Under this arrangement, each nonemployee director with at least three
        years of service upon retirement will receive a benefit equal to 10% of
        the director's retainer in effect at the date of retirement for each
        year of service as a director (not to exceed ten years). During 1993,
        the Company incurred an expense of $2 related to this arrangement.
        During 1994, this plan was terminated.

                                      -14-

        On November 8, 1993, the Company's Board of Directors authorized
        management to repurchase up to 10 percent of its outstanding common
        stock each year. The program may be discontinued or suspended at any
        time, and there is no assurance that the Company will purchase the full
        amount authorized. The acquired shares are to be held in treasury to be
        used for stock option and other employee benefit plans, preferred stock
        conversion or in connection with the issuance of common stock in pending
        or future acquisitions accounted for under the purchase method of
        accounting. As of December 31, 1994, the Company had purchased 858,121
        shares at an aggregate cost of $17.3 million.

(15)  RESTRICTIONS ON BANK
      DIVIDENDS, LOANS OR ADVANCES:

        Certain restrictions exist regarding the ability of the Hudson United
        Bank (the Bank) to transfer funds to the Company in the form of cash
        dividends, loans or advances. State banking regulations allow for the
        payment of dividends in any amount provided that capital stock will be
        unimpaired and there remains an additional amount of paid-in capital of
        not less than 50 percent of the capital stock amount. As of December 31,
        1994, $98,183 was available for distribution to the Company.

        Under Federal Reserve regulations, the Bank is also limited as to the
        amount it may loan to its affiliates, including the Company. All such
        loans are required to be collateralized by specific obligations. During
        1994, the Company obtained a loan from the Bank for $4,000 in order to
        finance the purchase of its new administrative facility. The loan has
        been collateralized by the property.

(16)  LEASES:

        Total rental expense for all leases amounted to approximately $1,717,
        $1,393 and $1,313 in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively. At December 31,
        1994, the minimum total rental commitments under all noncancellable
        leases on bank premises with initial or remaining terms of more than one
        year were as follows-

         1995                                                             $1,023
         1996                                                              1,021
         1997                                                                896
         1998                                                                743
         1999                                                                501
         Thereafter                                                        1,417

        It is expected that in the normal course of business, leases that expire
        will be renewed or replaced by leases of other properties.

(17)  COMMITMENTS AND
      CONTINGENT LIABILITIES:

        In 1994, the Company entered into an interest rate exchange agreement
        for the purpose of hedging the interest rate related to the subordinated
        debt. The agreement is a contractual agreement between the Company and
        its counterparty to exchange fixed and floating rate interest
        obligations without exchange of the underlying notional amount of
        $25,000. Such agreement involves interest rate risk. If interest rates
        increase, the benefit resulting from the


<PAGE>


                                      -15-

        agreement will be diminished. The notional principal amount is used to
        express the volume of the transaction involved in this agreement;
        however this amount does not represent exposure to credit loss. The
        counterparty to the agreement is the fixed rate payor on the agreement
        and the Company is the floating rate payor on the agreement. The
        floating rate is reset every three months. The term of this agreement is
        three years. Management does not anticipate any material loss as a
        result of this transaction.

        The Company and its subsidiaries, from time to time, may be defendants
        in legal proceedings. In the opinion of management, based upon
        consultation with legal counsel, the ultimate resolution of these legal
        proceedings will not have a material effect on the consolidated
        financial statements. In the normal course of business, the Company and
        its subsidiaries have various commitments and contingent liabilities
        such as commitments to extend credit, letters of credit and liability
        for assets held in trust which are not reflected in the accompanying
        financial statements.

        Loan commitment and standby letters of credit are made to customers in
        the ordinary course of business. Both arrangements have credit risk
        essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers
        and are subject to the Company's normal credit policies. The Company's
        maximum exposure to credit loss for loan commitments, primarily unused
        credit card lines of credit and standby letters of credit outstanding at
        December 31, 1994 was $906,483 and $15,140, respectively. Loan
        commitments and standby letters of credit were $77,297 and $13,760,
        respectively, at December 31, 1993. Commitments under commercial letters
        of credit used to facilitate customers trade transactions were $1,131
        and $442 at December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively.

(20)  ESTIMATED FAIR VALUE
      OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

        The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 107,
        "Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments." Financial
        instruments encompassing this standard's definition include cash, loan
        agreements, accounts receivable and payable, debt securities, deposit
        liabilities, loan commitments, standby letters of credit and financial
        guarantees, among others. The fair value of a financial instrument is
        the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current
        transaction between willing parties, other than a forced or liquidation
        sale.

        Estimated fair values have been determined by the Company using the best
        available data and estimation methodology suitable for each category of
        financial instruments. For those loans and deposits with floating rates,
        it is presumed that estimated fair values generally approximate their
        recorded book balances. The estimation methodologies used, the estimated
        fair values and recorded book balances of the Bank's financial
        instruments at December 31, 1994 and 1993 were as follows-

         Cash and cash equivalents include cash and due from bank balances,
         Federal funds sold and securities purchased under agreements to resell.
         For these instruments, the recorded book balance approximates their
         fair value.

         For securities in the Company's portfolio, fair value was determined by
         reference to quoted market prices. In the few instances where quoted
         market prices were not available, prices for similar securities were
         used. Additional detail is contained in Note 4 to these consolidated
         financial statements

         The Company aggregated loans into pools having similar characteristics
         when comparing their terms, contractual rates, type of collateral, risk
         profile and other pertinent loan characteristics. Since no active
         market exists for these pools, fair values were estimated using the
         present value of future cashflows expected to be received. Loan rates
         currently offered by the Bank were used in determining the appropriate
         discount rate.

</TABLE>

         The fair value of demand deposits, savings deposits and certain money
         market accounts approximate their recorded book balances. The fair
         value of fixed maturity certificates of deposit was estimated using the
         present value of discounted cash flows based on rates currently offered
         for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

         The Company's remaining assets and liabilities which are not considered
         financial instruments have not been valued differently than has been
         customary with historical cost accounting. There is no material
         difference between the notional amount and estimated fair value of
         off-balance sheet items which are primarily comprised of unfunded loan
         commitments which are generally priced at market at the time of
         funding.

         For certain homogeneous categories of loans, such as some residential
         mortgages, fair value is estimated using the quoted market prices for
         securities backed by similar loans, adjusted for differences in loan
         characteristics. The fair value of other types 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
         and for the same remaining maturities.
