HUDSON UNITED BANCORP
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                              HUDSON UNITED BANCORP
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)

NOTE A -- BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying financial statements of Hudson United Bancorp and Subsidiaries
("the Company") include the accounts of the parent company, Hudson United
Bancorp, and its wholly-owned subsidiaries: Hudson United Bank ("Hudson
United"), HUBCO Capital Trust I and HUBCO Capital Trust II. All material
intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In
March 1999, the former Lafayette American Bank and Bank of the Hudson, were
merged into Hudson United. In addition, the shareholders of the Company on April
21, 1999 approved an amendment to the certificate of incorporation to change the
name of the company from HUBCO, Inc. to Hudson United Bancorp. These unaudited
consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and
with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X.
Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required
by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.
In the opinion of management, the information presented includes all
adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, considered necessary for a
fair presentation, in all material respects, of the interim period results. The
results of operations for periods of less than one year are not necessarily
indicative of results for the full year. The consolidated financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K
filed with the Commission on March 15, 1999, for the year ended December 31,
1998.

NOTE B -- EARNINGS PER SHARE

In the fourth quarter of 1997, the Company adopted SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per
Share." This statement establishes standards for computing and presenting
earnings per share and requires dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings
per share. Basic earnings per 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 period. Diluted earnings per share is
computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares
plus the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the preferred stock (when
outstanding) and the incremental number of shares issuable from the exercise of
stock options, stock warrants, and includes the impact of the Management
Recognition Plan ("MRP"), calculated using the treasury stock method. All per
share amounts have been retroactively restated to reflect all stock splits and
stock dividends.

A reconciliation of net income to net income available to common stockholders
and of weighted average common shares outstanding to weighted average shares
outstanding assuming dilution follows (in thousands, except per share data):

NOTE F -- RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Effective January 1, 1998, the Company adopted SFAS No. 130, "Reporting
Comprehensive Income", which establishes standards for the reporting of
comprehensive income and its components in a full set of general purpose
financial statements. The Company has elected to display Consolidated Statements
of Income and Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income separately for the
disclosed periods. Comprehensive income is displayed on the Consolidated Balance
Sheets and Consolidated Statements of Changes in Stockholders' Equity as a
separate item entitled accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). The
following is a reconciliation of the tax effect allocated to each component of
comprehensive income for the periods presented (in thousands):

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


This financial review presents management's discussion and analysis of financial
condition and results of operations. It should be read in conjunction with the
Company's Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying notes. All
dollar amounts, other than per share information, are presented in thousands
unless otherwise noted.

The financial statements for the comparative periods presented herein have been
restated to reflect the acquisitions that have been accounted for on the pooling
of interests accounting method during the periods presented herein. The Bank of
Southington was acquired on January 8, 1998, Poughkeepsie Financial Corporation
was acquired on April 24, 1998, MSB Bancorp was acquired on May 29, 1998, IBS
Financial Corporation was acquired on August 14, 1998, Community Financial
Holding Corporation was acquired on August 14, 1998, and Dime Financial
Corporation was acquired on August 21, 1998. These acquisitions were accounted
for on the pooling of interests method, and accordingly, the consolidated
financial statements have been restated to include these institutions for all
periods presented. All share data has been retroactively restated to reflect the
shares issued in the aforementioned transactions including restatement of all
prior periods. In addition, the Company acquired Security National Bank on
February 5, 1998, 21 branches of First Union National Bank on June 26, 1998, two
branches of First Union National Bank on July 24, 1998, one branch from First
International Bank on March 26, 1999, and Little Falls Bancorp, Inc. on May 20,
1999, all of which were accounted for under the purchase method and thus
operations and earnings are reflected in the Company's results subsequent to the
date of acquisition. The balance sheet and income statement comparisons are
influenced by these purchase transactions.

STATEMENTS REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

This document contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements can
be identified by the use of words such as "believes," "expects" and similar
words or variations. Such statements are not historical facts and involve
certain risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from the
results discussed in these forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause
a difference include, but are not limited to, changes in interest rates,
economic conditions, deposit and loan growth, loan loss provisions, customer
retention, failure to realize expected cost savings or revenue enhancements from
acquisitions, or failure of the Company's Year 2000 compliance program to
effectively address year 2000 computer problems. The Company assumes no
obligation for updating any such forward-looking statements at any time.

YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE

Hudson United Bancorp has been involved since 1996 in preparing its computer
systems and applications to meet the challenge of the new millennium. The
Company has established a "Year 2000 Team" which is responsible for ensuring
implementation of the required changes to avoid business disruption. The process
involves analyzing and replacing existing computer hardware and software as
needed. The Company is in compliance with Y2K readiness through phases I, II,
and III. Additionally, the Company is assessing how problems with third party
computer systems may impact its business operations. To date, the Company has
not identified any material third party problems, but will continue to assess
the situation through 1999.

The Company's review of computer and noninformation technology systems was
completed by December 31, 1998. The Company is using 1999 for testing and
implementation of system changes. Testing has been satisfactory and the Company
has met all required dates for completion of system changes on its internal
timetable.

The Company's joint venture partner has decided to terminate their interest in a
computer processing joint venture. The termination is expected to occur in the
fourth quarter of 1999. In addition, the Company has signed a contract with a
third-party provider to outsource the Company's internal processing systems.
This provider's Y2K implementation and testing continues to proceed
satisfactorily and is on schedule.

The estimated total cost to become Year 2000 compliant is $5 million.
Substantially all of the costs have been incurred. The total cost has been
within budget.

A failure by Hudson United Bancorp or by third parties on whom the Company
relies for support to correct Year 2000 issues may cause disruption in the
Company's business operations that could result in reduced revenue, increased
operating costs and other adverse effects. Additionally, to the extent
borrowers' financial positions are weakened as a result of Year 2000 issues,
credit quality could be impacted. It is not possible to forecast with a
reasonable degree of certainty all the negative impacts that could result from a
failure of the Company or third parties to become fully Year 2000-compliant or
whether such effect could have a material impact on Hudson United Bancorp. The
Company has developed contingency plans to mitigate the disruption to business
operations that may occur if Year 2000 compliance is not fully achieved by all
parties.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

OVERVIEW

Net income for the three-month period ended June 30, 1999 was $25.5 million
compared to net income of $4.6 million for the same period in 1998. Fully
diluted earnings per share amounted to $0.63 for the 1999 second quarter and
$0.11 for the 1998 second quarter. The 1998 quarter included merger-related and
restructuring charges that amounted to $16.5 million after-tax. Excluding the
charges, net income for the 1998 period was $21.0 million and fully diluted
earnings per share was $0.50. The increase in operating earnings was primarly
due to higher net interest and noninterest income. Partially offsetting the net
revenue increases was an unfavorable variance in noninterest expenses. Growth in
commercial lending, consumer lending, and higher sales of investment products,
were major factors underlying the 7% increase in net revenue for the second
quarter of 1999 compared to the same period in 1998. For the three months ended
June 30, 1999, return on average assets was 1.45% and return on average equity
was 23.29%. Excluding the merger-related and restructuring charges in the same
1998 period, return on average assets was 1.27% and return on average equity was
16.76%.

Net income for the six-months ended June 30, 1999 was $50.1 million compared to
net income of $19.5 million for the same period in 1998. Fully diluted earnings
per share amounted to $1.24 and $0.46 for the first half of 1999 and 1998,
respectively. The 1998 period included merger-related and restructuring charges
that amounted to $18.8 million after-tax. Excluding the charges, operating
earnings for the 1998 period were $38.3 million and fully diluted earnings per
share amounted to $0.91. The higher operating earnings resulted from improved
net revenue, lower noninterest expenses, and a decline in the provision for
possible loan losses. As in the second quarter, growth in commercial lending,
consumer lending, and strong sales of investment products were main contributors
to the higher net revenue. The lower noninterest expenses reflected cost savings
achieved from the Company's 1998 acquisitions. Return on average assets was
1.49% and return on average equity was 23.19% for the first half of 1999.
Excluding the merger-related and restructuring charges in the corresponding 1998
period, return on average assets was 1.18% and return on average equity was
15.22%.

NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income amounted to $67.8 million for three-month period ended June
30, 1999 and $63.9 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 1998.
Average interest-earning assets were $338 million higher in the second quarter
of 1999 compared to the same period in 1998. The net interest margin was 4.15%
and 4.12% for the second quarter of 1999 and 1998, respectively. Interest income
increased by $2.8 million in the second quarter of 1999 compared to the second
quarter of 1998 due to higher income from investment securities. Interest
expense for the three-months ended June 30, 1999 was $1.1 million below the same
1998 period due to a more favorable deposit mix and lower average deposits in
1999 and the impact of the lower rate environment in that period. The average
cost of deposits was 2.62% in the second quarter of 1999 compared to 3.20% in
the second quarter of 1998. Increased borrowing expense, due to higher average
volumes, partially offset the decline in interest expense on deposits.

For six-month period ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, net interest income was
$130.3 million and $126.4 million, respectively. Average interest-earning assets
were $256 million higher in the 1999 period compared to the same period in 1998.
The net interest margin was 4.15% and 4.19% for the first half of 1999 and 1998,
respectively. Interest income decreased by $1.0 million for the first half of
1999 compared to the first half of 1998 due to mainly to lower income from loans
and short term


                                       13


<PAGE>


money market investments, partially offset by higher income from investment
securities. Interest expense for the six-months ended June 30, 1999 was $4.9
million below the same 1998 period due, as in the second quarter, to a more
favorable deposit mix and lower average deposits in 1999 and the impact of the
lower rate environment in that period. For the first six months ended June 30,
1999 and 1998, the average cost of deposits was 2.64% and 3.25%, respectively.
Increased borrowing expense, due to higher average volumes, partially offset the
decline in interest expense on deposits.

PROVISION FOR POSSIBLE LOAN LOSSES

The provision for possible loan losses was $2.5 million and $2.8 million for the
three-month periods ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. For the
six-month periods ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, the provision for possible loan
losses was $5.0 million and $9.1 million, respectively. The decline in the
provision for the six-month period was primarily due to the inclusion in the
1998 period of a $3.5 million provision taken by the former Poughkeepsie
Financial Corporation to bring its reserve policy in line with that of Hudson
United Bancorp. The allowance for possible loan losses amounted to $55.7 million
at June 30, 1999 compared to $53.5 million at year-end 1998. The allowance
represented 1.57% and 1.58% of total loans at June 30, 1999 and December 31,
1998, respectively. The allowance was 289% of non-performing loans at June 30,
1999 and 256% of non-performing loans at December 31, 1998.

The determination of the adequacy of the Allowance for Loan Losses and the
periodic provisioning for estimated losses included in the consolidated
financial statements is the responsibility of management. The evaluation process
is undertaken on a monthly basis, with a fully supported written analysis
prepared on a quarterly basis.

Methodology employed for assessing the adequacy of the Allowance consists of the
following criteria:

     o    The establishment of reserve amounts for all specifically identified
          criticized loans, including those arising from business combinations,
          that have been designated as requiring attention by management's
          internal loan review program.

     o    The establishment of reserves for pools of homogenous types of loans
          not subject to specific review, including 1-4 family residential
          mortgages, consumer loans, and credit card accounts, based upon
          historical loss rates.

     o    An allocation for the non-criticized loans in each portfolio, and for
          all Off-Balance Sheet exposures, based upon the historical average
          loss experience of those portfolios.

Consideration is also given to the changed risk profile brought about by the
aforementioned business combinations, customer knowledge, the results of ongoing
credit quality monitoring processes, the adequacy and expertise of the Company's
lending staff, underwriting policies, loss histories, delinquency trends, and
the cyclical nature of economic and business conditions. A further consideration
is the concentration of real estate related loans located in the Northeast part
of the United States. Since many of the loans depend upon the sufficiency of
collateral as a secondary source of repayment, any adverse trend in the real
estate markets could affect underlying values available to protect the Company
from loss.

Other evidence used to support the amount of the Allowance and its components
are as follows:

     o    Regulatory and other examinations

     o    The amount and trend of criticized loans

     o    Actual losses

     o    Peer comparisons with other financial institutions

     o    Economic Data associated with the real estate market in the Company's
          area of operations

     o    Opportunities to dispose of marginally performing loans for cash
          consideration

(1) The writedown of assets held for sale pertained to the planned disposal of
$54 million nonaccrual loans.

NONINTEREST INCOME

Noninterest income, excluding security gains, increased to $16.0 million for the
second quarter of 1999 compared to $14.3 million in the second quarter of 1998.
For the six-months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, non-interest income, excluding
security gains was $32.5 million and $25.8 million, respectively. These
increases reflect higher income from the Shoppers Charge and mortgage divisions
and increased sales of investment products. Security gains for the three and six
month periods ended June 30, 1999 amounted to $1.1 and $2.0 million,
respectively. Security gains amounted to $0.8 million for the second quarter of
1998 and $3.2 million for the first six months on 1998.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE

Noninterest expense for the second quarter of 1999 was $43.1 million compared to
$67.2 million in the second quarter of 1998. The amount for 1998 includes $25.2
million of merger-related restructuring costs that were recorded in that period.
Excluding the 1998 charges, the year to year increase in expenses of $1.1
million reflects several initiatives including the higher cost of supporting our
expanding business lines, the successful merger of the 1998 acquisitions, the
consolidation of the Company's three banking subsidiaries into a single bank
charter and the establishment of a single brand name. These initiatives also
include the decision to terminate the Company's interest in a computer
processing joint venture and to outsource internal processing systems. The net
effect of these initiatives was immaterial and has been provided for within the
reserves established for such programs. For the six-months ended June 30, 1999
and 1998, non-interest expenses were $82.8 million and $114.0 million,
respectively. Non-interest expenses for the 1998 period included merger-related
restructuring costs of $27.8 million. The decline in expenses in the 1999 period
compared to 1998 is primarily due to cost savings achieved from the 1998
acquisitions. The


                                       16


<PAGE>


efficiency ratio in the second quarter of 1999 was 47.3%, down from 49.8% in the
second quarter of 1998. The efficiency ratio for the first six months of 1999
was 46.7% compared to 52.6% for the same 1998 period.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Total assets amounted to $7.2 billion at June 30, 1999, an increase of $447
million or 7% from $6.8 billion at December 31, 1998. At June 30, 1999, total
loans were $3.5 billion and total investment securities were $3.2 billion. These
balances represented increases of $151 million for loans and $314 million for
investment securities when compared to year-end 1998. The increase in credit
card loans of $88 million and the increase in credit card loans past due 90 days
or more and still accruing of $7 million, at June 30, 1999 compared to December
31, 1998, was primarily the result of the purchase of two credit card
portfolios. The increase in the investment securities portfolio was due
primarily to leveraging employed to utilize the Company's capital position.
Intangibles, net of amortization, increased from $79.0 million at December 31,
1998 to $105.9 million at June 30, 1999, due primarily to the addition of the
goodwill created from the First International Bank branch and Little Falls
Bancorp, Inc. acquisitions.

Deposits were $5.0 billion at June 30, 1999, basically flat with year-end 1998.
At June 30, 1999, borrowings amounted to $1.5 billion compared to $822 million
at December 31, 1998. The increase in borrowings was mainly the result of the
higher asset level at the June 1999 period end. Total stockholders' equity at
June 30, 1999 was $423 million compared to $457 million at December 31, 1998.
The change in stockholders' equity is primarily attributable to the purchase of
$48 million of treasury shares.

The Company is not aware of any current recommendations by the regulatory
authorities which would have a material adverse effect on the Company's capital
resources or operations. The capital ratios for the Company at June 30, 1999,
and the minimum regulatory guidelines for such capital ratios for qualification
as a well-capitalized institution are as follows:
