                         REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Dime Bancorp, Inc.:

     We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial
condition of Dime Bancorp, Inc. and subsidiaries (Dime) as of December 31, 1998
and 1997, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in
stockholders' equity, cash flows and comprehensive income for each of the years
in the three-year period ended December 31, 1998. These consolidated financial
statements are the responsibility of Dime'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 Dime
Bancorp, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the results
of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year
period ended December 31, 1998, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 -- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     Dime Bancorp, Inc. (the "Holding Company") is a unitary savings and loan
holding company organized under the laws of the State of Delaware in 1994. The
principal subsidiary of the Holding Company is The Dime Savings Bank of New
York, FSB (the "Bank"). The accounting policies applied by the Holding Company
and its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company") conform with generally
accepted accounting principles and prevailing practices within the financial
services industry.

     At December 31, 1998, the Company operated 90 banking branches located in
the greater New York City metropolitan area and conducted its mortgage banking
operations nationwide through offices located in 43 states.

     The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires the Company to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated
statement of financial condition and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

     The following is a description of the Company's significant accounting
policies.

  Basis of Presentation

     The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
the Holding Company and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly-owned, after
the elimination of all significant intercompany balances and transactions.
Certain amounts in prior years have been reclassified to conform with the
current year presentation.

  Securities

     Securities that the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to
maturity are classified as held to maturity and are carried at amortized cost.
Securities purchased for the objective of selling them in the near term and
mortgage-backed securities ("MBS") held for sale in connection with mortgage
banking activities are classified as trading securities and are carried at
estimated fair value with unrealized gains and losses recognized in operations.
The Company did not maintain a securities held to maturity portfolio or trading
securities portfolio at December 31, 1998 or 1997. Securities not otherwise
classified as held to maturity or trading are classified as available for sale
and are carried at estimated fair value with unrealized gains and losses, net of
the related income tax effect, reported in a separate component of stockholders'
equity.

     The amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts on securities is
recognized in income using the interest method over the lives of the securities,
adjusted, in the case of MBS, for actual prepayments. Gains and losses on sales
of securities are recognized using the specific identification method.

     The carrying value of a security is reduced through a write-down charged to
income in the event the Company determines that an other than temporary
impairment in value has occurred.

  Loans

     Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or market value, as
determined on an aggregate basis. Net unrealized losses are recognized in a
valuation allowance by charges to income. Premiums, discounts and certain
origination fees and costs on loans held for sale are deferred and recognized as
a component of the gain or loss on sale. Gains and losses on sales of loans held
for sale are recognized at the settlement dates and are determined by the
difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying value of the loans.

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

     Loans receivable are generally carried at unpaid principal balances
adjusted for unamortized premiums, unearned discounts and deferred loan
origination fees and costs, which are recognized as yield adjustments over the
lives of the loans using the interest method.

     Loans are placed on non-accrual status upon becoming 90 days contractually
past due as to principal or interest, or at an earlier date if the full
collectability of principal or interest is doubtful. Interest income previously
accrued but not collected at the date a loan is placed on non-accrual status is
reversed against interest income. Cash receipts on a non-accrual loan are
applied to principal and interest in accordance with its contractual terms
unless full payment of principal is not expected, in which case cash receipts,
whether designated as principal or interest, are applied as a reduction of the
carrying value of the loan. A non-accrual loan is generally returned to accrual
status when principal and interest payments are current, full collectability of
principal and interest is reasonably assured and a consistent record of
performance has been demonstrated.

     A loan is deemed a troubled debt restructuring ("TDR") by the Company when
modifications of a concessionary nature are made to the loan's original
contractual terms due to a deterioration in the borrower's financial condition.

     In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No.
114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan," as amended, the Company
considers a loan falling within its scope impaired when, based upon current
information and events, it is probable that it will be unable to collect all
amounts due, both principal and interest, according to the contractual terms of
the loan agreement. SFAS No. 114 does not apply to loans held for sale or those
large groups of smaller-balance homogeneous loans that are collectively
evaluated for impairment. Loans reviewed by the Company for impairment are
limited to residential real estate loans receivable modified in a TDR since
January 1, 1995, business loans receivable, and commercial real estate loans
receivable. Specific factors used in the impaired loan identification process
include, but are not limited to, delinquency status, loan-to-value ratio, the
condition of the underlying collateral, credit history, and debt coverage. At a
minimum, loans reviewed for impairment by the Company are classified as impaired
when delinquent more than six months. Impaired loans are principally measured
using the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's
effective interest rate or the fair value of the collateral for collateral
dependent loans. For impaired loans on non-accrual status, cash receipts are
applied, and interest income recognized, pursuant to the discussion above for
non-accrual loans. For all other impaired loans, cash receipts are applied to
principal and interest in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan and
interest income is recognized on the accrual basis.

  Allowance for Loan Losses

     The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level the Company believes
is sufficient to provide for losses inherent in its loans receivable portfolio.
The allowance for loan losses is increased by loss provisions charged to
operations and decreased by charge-offs (net of recoveries). In determining the
appropriate level of the allowance for loan losses, the Company reviews its
loans receivable portfolio on at least a quarterly basis, taking into account
its impaired loans, the size, composition and risk profile of the portfolio,
delinquency levels, historical loss experience, cure rates on delinquent loans,
economic conditions and other pertinent factors, such as assumptions and
projections of future conditions.

  Premises and Equipment

     Premises and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation
and amortization. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over
the estimated useful lives of the assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized
using the straight-line method over the lesser of the terms of their respective
leases or estimated useful lives.

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

  Mortgage Servicing Assets

     The Company recognizes, as separate assets, the rights to service mortgage
loans, whether those rights are acquired through loan purchase or loan
origination activities. The initial recognition of originated mortgage servicing
assets is predicated upon an allocation of the total cost of the related loans
between the loans and the loan servicing rights based on their relative
estimated fair values. Purchased mortgage servicing assets are recorded at cost.
Mortgage servicing assets are amortized in proportion to and over the period of
estimated net servicing income.

     On a quarterly basis, mortgage servicing assets are assessed for impairment
based upon their estimated fair value. For purposes of such assessments, the
Company stratifies its mortgage servicing assets by underlying loan type (i.e.,
adjustable-rate, fixed-rate and balloon) and interest rate. Impairment of
mortgage servicing assets is recognized through a valuation allowance for each
impaired stratum with the individual allowances adjusted in subsequent periods
to reflect changes in the measurement of impairment. The estimated fair value of
each strata is determined through a discounted cash flow analysis of future cash
flows incorporating numerous assumptions including servicing income, servicing
costs, market discount rates, prepayment speeds, and default rates.

  Other Real Estate Owned ("ORE")

     ORE, which consists of real estate acquired in satisfaction of loans, is
carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair value less estimated selling
costs. Write-downs required at time of acquisition are charged to the allowance
for loan losses. Subsequent to acquisition, the Company maintains an allowance
for actual and potential future declines in value.

  Goodwill

     Goodwill is generally amortized using the straight-line method over periods
ranging from 15 to 25 years. Goodwill is reviewed for possible impairment when
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be
recoverable.

  Income Taxes

     Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future
tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement
carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax
bases. 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. If necessary, deferred tax assets are
reduced to the amount that, based on available evidence, will more than likely
be realized.

  Earnings Per Common Share

     Basic earnings per common share have been computed by dividing net income
by the weighted average number of shares of the Holding Company's common stock
("Common Stock") outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common
share have been computed by dividing net income by the sum of the weighted
average number of shares of Common Stock and dilutive Common Stock equivalents
outstanding (using the treasury stock method) during the period.

  Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows

     For purposes of the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, cash and cash
equivalents include cash and due from banks and money market investments.

                      DIME BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

     Cash flows associated with derivative financial instruments used by the
Company for risk-management purposes are classified in the accompanying
Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows in the same category as the cash flows
from the asset or liability being hedged.

  Derivative Financial Instruments

     Risk-Management Instruments.  The Company uses a variety of derivative
financial instruments as part of its interest rate risk-management strategy and
to manage certain risks associated with its mortgage banking activities.
Derivative financial instruments used for these purposes must be designated as a
hedge at their inception and must remain effective as a hedge throughout their
contractual terms. If the effectiveness of the derivative financial instrument
as a hedge is not maintained, the instrument is accounted for as a trading
instrument. Derivative financial instruments used by the Company for risk-
management purposes principally include interest rate swaps, interest rate caps,
interest rate floors, interest rate futures, forward contracts and options.

     For those derivative financial instruments used to modify the interest rate
characteristics of designated interest-earning assets or interest-bearing
liabilities, net amounts payable or receivable on the instruments are accrued as
an adjustment to interest income or interest expense of the designated assets or
liabilities. The estimated fair values of such derivative financial instruments
are not reflected in the Company's consolidated financial statements unless
designated to securities available for sale, in which case the derivative
financial instruments are carried at estimated fair value with unrealized gains
and losses, net of related income taxes, reported in a separate component of
stockholders' equity.

     For forward contracts and options used in connection with the Company's
mortgage banking activities, realized gains and losses are recognized in
operations in the period settlement occurs. Unrealized gains and losses on such
derivative financial instruments are included in the computation of the lower of
cost or market valuation of loans held for sale.

     Unrealized gains and losses on derivative financial instruments used to
hedge mortgage servicing assets are considered in the determination of the
estimated fair value of such assets.

     Premiums paid on derivative financial instruments used for risk-management
purposes are deferred as a component of the carrying value of the designated
assets or liabilities and amortized against income over the terms of the
contracts.

     In the event of the early termination of a derivative financial instrument
contract used for risk-management purposes, any resulting gain or loss is
deferred, as an adjustment of the carrying value of the designated assets or
liabilities, and recognized in operations over the shorter of the remaining life
of the designated assets or liabilities or the derivative financial instrument
agreement. If the designated assets or liabilities are subsequently sold or
otherwise disposed of, any remaining deferred gains or losses are recognized in
operations.

     If the balance of a hedged asset or liability declines below the notional
value of the related derivative financial instrument, the Company may
redesignate, at fair value, the derivative financial instrument to other assets
or liabilities or discontinue hedge accounting with respect to the portion of
the notional amount that exceeds the balance. When hedge accounting is
discontinued, derivative financial instruments are accounted for as trading
instruments.

     Trading Instruments.  The Company, to a limited degree, also uses
derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. Realized and unrealized
gains and losses on these instruments are recognized in operations. The fair
value of trading derivative financial instruments in gain positions is reported
in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition in "Other assets," whereas
the fair value of such instruments in loss positions is reported in "Other
liabilities."

  Comprehensive Income

     Effective as of January 1, 1998, the Company adopted SFAS No. 130,
"Reporting Comprehensive Income," which establishes standards for reporting and
displaying comprehensive income and its components in a full set of general
purpose financial statements. Comprehensive income, which includes net income
and other comprehensive income, is defined as the change in equity during a
period from all transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner
sources.

NOTE 2 -- ACQUISITIONS

     On October 15, 1997, prior to its opening for business, North American
Mortgage Company ("NAMC"), a mortgage banking company headquartered in Santa
Rosa, California, was acquired by the Company (the "NAMC Acquisition"). At the
date of acquisition, NAMC serviced approximately $12 billion of loans for others
and operated in 30 states. NAMC, subsequent to the acquisition, is operating
under that name as a subsidiary of the Bank. In connection with the NAMC
Acquisition, each share of NAMC's common stock outstanding immediately prior to
the closing of the NAMC Acquisition was converted into 1.37 shares of Common
Stock (the "NAMC Exchange Ratio"), and each outstanding option issued by NAMC to
acquire NAMC's common stock was converted, after giving effect to the NAMC
Exchange Ratio, into an option to purchase Common Stock. As a result, the
Holding Company issued 19,437,741 shares of Common Stock (of which 7,479,664
were issued from treasury) and options to purchase 1,862,087 shares of Common
Stock at an average exercise price of $14.18 per share. The purchase price of
NAMC was approximately $351 million based on an assigned price per share of the
Common Stock of $18.06. The NAMC Acquisition was accounted for under the
purchase method of accounting. Accordingly, its impact is only reflected in the
Company's consolidated financial statements beginning on October 15, 1997.
Goodwill arising from the NAMC Acquisition is being amortized on a straight-line
basis over 25 years.

     The allocation of the purchase price of NAMC included a restructuring
liability of $10.0 million for personnel-related costs, primarily severance
benefits, of which $4.7 million and $5.3 million were paid during 1998 and 1997,
respectively. In addition, the allocation of the purchase price of NAMC included
a restructuring liability for transaction fees and other costs in the amount of
$9.6 million, including a $2.5 million liability recognized during 1998. The
balance in this restructuring liability was $1.1 million at the end of 1998.
Cash payments and non-cash reductions charged to this restructuring liability
amounted to $2.2 million and $1.8 million, respectively, in 1998 and $4.0
million and $0.5 million, respectively, in 1997.

     In connection with the NAMC Acquisition, the Company incurred expenses
during 1997 of $9.9 million associated with its employees and operations. Such
expenses are reflected in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income
under the caption "Restructuring and related expense."

     After the close of business on April 30, 1997, the Company acquired BFS
Bankorp, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Bankers Federal Savings FSB
(collectively, the "BFS Acquisition") for $93.3 million in cash. At that time,
BFS Bankorp, Inc. was liquidated and Bankers Federal Savings FSB was merged with
and into the Bank. The purchase price of the BFS Acquisition was funded from the
normal cash flows of the Company. Goodwill arising from the BFS Acquisition is
being amortized over 15 years using the straight-line method. In connection with
the BFS Acquisition, the Company acquired loans receivable, net, of $574.5
million and assumed deposits in five New York City branches of $447.1 million.
As this acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting,
its impact is only reflected in the Company's consolidated financial statements
beginning on May 1, 1997.

     On December 16, 1998, the Holding Company announced that it had entered
into a definitive agreement to acquire Lakeview Financial Corp. ("Lakeview"),
headquartered in West Paterson, New Jersey. Lakeview is the holding company for
Lakeview Savings Bank, which operates eleven offices in northern New Jersey. On
a consolidated basis at October 31, 1998, Lakeview had assets of approximately
$573 million and deposits of approximately $454 million. Under the terms of the
agreement, holders of Lakeview's common stock may elect to receive either 0.9 of
a share of Common Stock or $24.26 in cash for each outstanding share of Lakeview
common stock, subject to a requirement that, in the aggregate, 65% of Lakeview's
outstanding shares of common stock will be exchanged for Common Stock and the
remaining shares will be exchanged for cash. This transaction, which is expected
to close during the second quarter of 1999, remains subject to regulatory
approvals and the approval of Lakeview's shareholders.

     At December 31, 1998, $2.2 billion of securities available for sale were
pledged as collateral for borrowed funds and other purposes.

     During December 1997, the Company, primarily as a result of a reassessment
of its asset/liability management strategy, transferred its entire portfolio of
securities held to maturity to its portfolio of securities available for sale.
At the date of transfer, the securities held to maturity portfolio had an
amortized cost of $3.6 billion and net unrealized pre-tax losses of
approximately $51 million. In connection with a decision made at the time of
transfer to sell $1.4 billion of the transferred securities, the Company, during
December 1997, wrote-down those securities with unrealized losses to estimated
fair value and recognized a pre-tax loss of $25.2 million. Substantially all of
the securities designated for sale were sold during 1998.

     In May 1996, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") exercised
its warrant to acquire 8,407,500 shares of Common Stock at $0.01 per share (the
"FDIC Warrant") and sold the underlying shares in a secondary public offering.
This warrant had been issued originally in July 1993 in accordance with the
terms of an agreement between Anchor Bancorp, Inc. ("Anchor Bancorp") and the
FDIC. (On January 13, 1995, Anchor Bancorp and its wholly-owned savings bank
subsidiary, Anchor Savings Bank FSB ( "Anchor Savings" and, together with Anchor
Bancorp, "Anchor") merged with and into the

Holding Company and the Bank, respectively, which were the surviving entities.
These mergers are collectively referred to as the "Anchor Merger.")) Pursuant to
this agreement, Anchor Bancorp exchanged $157.0 million of its Class A
cumulative preferred stock for $71.0 million of its newly-issued 8.9375% Senior
Notes and a warrant to acquire, at an exercise price of $0.01 per share,
4,750,000 shares of Anchor Bancorp's common stock (which was converted to a
warrant to acquire 8,407,500 shares of Common Stock at $0.01 per share upon
consummation of the Anchor Merger). In this exchange, the FDIC also relinquished
its claim to $47.2 million of accumulated but undeclared and unpaid dividends
with respect to the Class A cumulative preferred stock.

     At December 31, 1998, the Holding Company had one Common Stock repurchase
program in effect. Under this program, which was announced in September 1998,
the Holding Company is authorized to repurchase up to approximately 5.6 million
shares of its outstanding Common Stock. During 1998, 335,000 shares of Common
Stock were acquired under this program.

  Dividend Restrictions

     The Holding Company's ability to pay dividends on the Common Stock is
limited by restrictions imposed by Delaware law. In general, dividends may be
paid out of the Holding Company's surplus, as defined by Delaware law, or in the
absence of such surplus, out of its net profits for the current and/or
immediately preceding fiscal year.

     The funding of any future dividend payments on the Common Stock by the
Holding Company may be dependent on dividends it receives from the Bank. The
ability of the Bank to pay dividends to the Holding Company is subject to
federal regulations.

     Generally, the Bank may not make a capital distribution, which includes
cash dividends, at any time when, after such distribution, its regulatory
capital would be below the regulatory capital requirements of the Office of
Thrift Supervision ("OTS") or below the standards established by the prompt
corrective action ("PCA") provisions of the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 ("FDICIA") for an institution to be deemed
adequately capitalized.

     Under OTS regulations, a savings institution that exceeds its fully
phased-in capital requirements, both before and after a proposed distribution,
and that has not been advised by the OTS that it is in need of more than normal
supervision, may, after prior notice to, but without the approval of the OTS,
make capital distributions during a calendar year up to the higher of (i) 100%
of its net income to date during the calendar year plus the amount that would
reduce by one-half its surplus capital ratio (the percentage by which an
institution's ratio of total capital to assets exceeds the ratio of its fully
phased-in capital requirement to assets) at the beginning of the calendar year
or (ii) 75% of its net income over the most recent four-quarter period.

  Stockholder Protection Rights Plan

     In October 1995, the Board adopted a Stockholder Protection Rights Plan
(the "Rights Plan"). Under the Rights Plan, which expires in November 2005, the
Board declared a dividend of one right on each outstanding share of Common
Stock, which was paid on November 6, 1995 to stockholders of record on that date
(the "Rights"). Until it is announced that a person or group has acquired 20% or
more of the outstanding Common Stock (an "Acquiring Person") or has commenced a
tender offer that could result in their owning 20% or more of Common Stock, the
Rights will be evidenced solely by the Holding Company's common stock
certificates, will automatically trade with the Common Stock and will not be
exercisable. Following any such announcement, separate Rights would be
distributed, with each Right entitling its owner to purchase participating
preferred stock of the Holding Company having economic and voting terms similar
to those of one share of Common Stock for an exercise price of $50.

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

     Upon announcement that any person or group has become an Acquiring Person
and unless the Board acts to redeem the Rights, then ten business days
thereafter (or such earlier or later date, not beyond 30 days, as the Board may
decide) (the "Flip-in Date"), each Right (other than Rights beneficially owned
by any Acquiring Person or transferee thereof, which become void) will entitle
the holder to purchase, for the $50 exercise price, a number of shares of Common
Stock having a market value of $100. In addition, if, after an Acquiring Person
gains control of the Board, the Holding Company is involved in a merger or sells
more than 50% of its assets or assets generating more than 50% of its operating
income or cash flow, or has entered into an agreement to do any of the foregoing
(or an Acquiring Person is to receive different treatment than all other
stockholders), each Right will entitle its holder to purchase, for the $50
exercise price, a number of shares of common stock of the Acquiring Person
having a market value of $100. If any person or group acquires between 20% and
50% of the outstanding Common Stock the Board may, at its option, exchange one
share of such Common Stock for each Right. The Rights may also be redeemed by
the Board for $0.01 per Right prior to the Flip-in Date.

NOTE 16 -- REGULATORY CAPITAL

     The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered
by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements
can initiate certain mandatory -- and possibly additional
discretionary -- actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct
material effect on the Bank's and the Company's consolidated financial
statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for
PCA, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative
measures of the Bank's assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items
as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Bank's regulatory
capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by
regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors.

     Quantitative measures established by regulation by the OTS to ensure
capital adequacy (the "Capital Adequacy Regulations") require the Bank to
maintain, as set forth in the table below, specified minimum amounts of and
ratios of tangible and core ("tier 1") capital to adjusted total assets and of
total risk-based capital to total risk-weighted assets. Management believes
that, as of December 31, 1998, the Bank was in compliance with the Capital
Adequacy Regulations.

     Pursuant to FDICIA, the OTS adopted PCA regulations (the "PCA Regulations")
which established five capital categories: "well capitalized," "adequately
capitalized," "undercapitalized," "significantly undercapitalized," and
"critically undercapitalized." To be categorized as well capitalized, the Bank
must maintain the minimum capital ratios set forth in the table below. As of
December 31, 1998, the most recent notification from the OTS categorized the
Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for PCA. There are no
conditions or events since that notification that the Bank believes have changed
its category.

     The following table summarizes, at December 31 for the years shown, the
Bank's actual regulatory capital amounts and ratios, as well as its minimum
capital requirements under the Capital Adequacy Regulations and under the PCA
Regulations for it to be deemed well capitalized (dollars in thousands):

NOTE 18 -- EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

  Pension and Postretirement Health Care and Life Insurance Plans

     The Company currently maintains a non-contributory, qualified, defined
benefit pension plan (the "Qualified Pension Plan") covering, except as noted,
substantially all salaried employees of the Company who meet certain age and
length of service requirements. The Qualified Pension Plan assets primarily
consist of equity and debt securities. NAMC personnel are generally covered by a
plan maintained by NAMC (see "Other Plans"). The Company also maintains various
non-contributory, non-qualified, defined benefit pension plans (the
"Non-Qualified Pension Plans"). Benefits under these plans have not been
prefunded by the Company.

     In addition, the Company currently sponsors unfunded postretirement health
care and life insurance plans covering, except as noted, substantially all
salaried employees of the Company who meet certain age and length of service
requirements. Employees of NAMC, with certain exceptions, are not covered under
these plans. In general, the Company's postretirement health care plan requires
contributions from participants. Benefits under the Company's postretirement
life insurance plan are provided to participants on a non-contributory basis.

     Effective January 1, 1998, the Company adopted SFAS No. 132, "Employers'
Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits." SFAS No. 132
standardizes the disclosure requirements for pensions and other postretirement
benefits to the extent practicable, requires additional information on changes
in the benefit obligations and fair values of plan assets that will facilitate
financial analysis, and

     Pension plans with accumulated benefit obligations in excess of plan assets
at December 31, 1998 and 1997 consisted of the Non-Qualified Pension Plans. The
aggregate projected benefit obligation and accumulated benefit obligation of
these plans amounted to $20.6 million and $19.5 million, respectively, at
December 31, 1998 and $18.3 million and $17.9 million, respectively, at December
31, 1997.

     As of December 31, 1998, the average annual rate of increase in the per
capita cost of covered health care benefits for 1999 was assumed to be 9.00% for
participants less than 65 years old and 6.00% for all other participants and was
assumed to decline gradually until a floor of 5.00% was reached in 2003 and
2000, respectively. Increasing the assumed health care cost trend rates by 1.0%
in each year would increase the related accumulated benefit obligation at
December 31, 1998 by $0.9 million and the aggregate of the related service and
interest cost components by $0.1 million. A 1.0% decrease in the assumed health
care cost trend rates in each year would decrease the related accumulated
benefit obligation by $0.8 million and the aggregate of the related service and
interest cost components by $0.1 million.

  Other Plans

     The Company maintains a savings plan, the Retirement 401(k) Investment
Plan, which covers substantially all employees of the Company, other than those
eligible to participate in a defined contribution benefit plan assumed by the
Company in connection with the NAMC Acquisition. Under the Retirement 401(k)
Investment Plan, participants may contribute up to 15% of their base pay on a
before-or after-tax basis, up to legal limits. The Company currently makes
matching contributions equal to 100% of the first 6% of participant
contributions. Participants vest immediately in their own contributions and over
a period of five years for the Company's contributions. Each member's
contributions and matching

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

contributions are invested, in accordance with the member's directions, in one
or any combination of available investment options.

     In connection with the NAMC Acquisition, the Company assumed NAMC's 401(k)
Savings and Retirement Plan. This plan covers substantially all NAMC personnel,
except those employees of NAMC covered under the Qualified Pension Plan or the
Retirement 401(k) Investment Plan. The provisions of the 401(k) savings
component of this plan provide for contributions by participants of up to 15% of
their total pay on a before-tax basis, up to legal limits, and matching
contributions by the Company of up to 1.5% of a participant's eligible
compensation. Participants vest immediately in their own contributions and over
a period of four years for the Company's contributions. Under the provisions of
the retirement benefit component of the 401(k) Savings and Retirement Plan,
contributions are made by the Company equal to 4% of the participant's eligible
pay. Participants vest in such contributions over a period of seven years.
Contributions to the 401(k) Savings and Retirement Plan are invested, in
accordance with the participant's direction, in one or any combination of
available investment options.

     The Company also maintains non-qualified arrangements under which
supplemental amounts in excess of those allocated under the Retirement 401(k)
Investment Plan are allocated with respect to certain employees and upon which
earnings are credited. These amounts include supplemental allocations based upon
the amounts that would otherwise be contributed as matching contributions under
the Retirement 401(k) Investment Plan on base pay that exceeds the amount for
which matching contributions are permitted to be made under the Retirement
401(k) Investment Plan.

     The aggregate expense recognized by the Company in connection with the
above plans was $8.7 million, $4.9 million and $4.3 million for 1998, 1997 and
1996, respectively.

NOTE 19 -- STOCK PLANS

  Stock Option and Incentive Plans

     As further described below, at December 31, 1998, the Company had a total
of four stock option and stock incentive plans in effect under which shares of
Common Stock were available for future grants and a total of four terminated
stock option and stock incentive plans under which stock-based awards remained
outstanding. Awards granted under the terminated plans prior to their
termination remain in effect in accordance with their terms.

     During 1997, the Company adopted its Pride Shares Program, a broad-based
stock option plan under which there was a grant in each of May 1997 and March
1998 of an option to each eligible full-time employee and each eligible
part-time employee to purchase 150 shares and 75 shares, respectively, of Common
Stock. During 1999, the Company expects to make a final grant under the Pride
Shares Program of an option to each eligible full-time employee and each
eligible part-time employee to purchase 200 shares and 100 shares, respectively,
of Common Stock. Options awarded under the Pride Shares Program have an exercise
price equal to the grant date market price of the Common Stock and expire 11
years from the grant date. Vesting of options awarded under this plan generally
occurs at the earlier of five years after the date of grant or the date the
Common Stock price reaches a specified target price (as established at the date
of grant) and its closing price stays at, or rises above, that target price for
five consecutive trading days. The options granted under the Pride Shares
Program during 1997, all of which vested during that year, had a target price of
$20.00, whereas the options granted during 1998, which have not vested as of
December 31, 1998, have a target price of $36.00. At December 31, 1998, a total
of 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock had been reserved for issuance under the
Pride Shares Program, of which 860,600 shares were available for future grants.

     Also in 1997, the Company adopted a broad-based stock incentive plan (the
"1997 Stock Incentive Plan"), under which all employees, excluding certain
officers, are eligible to receive options to purchase

<PAGE>   31

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

Common Stock at an exercise price equal to the market price of the Common Stock
at the date of grant. An aggregate of 600,000 shares of Common Stock have been
reserved for issuance under this plan (including 300,000 shares during 1998), of
which 30,105 shares remained available for future grants as of December 31,
1998. The 1997 Stock Incentive Plan does not have an established termination
date, but may be terminated at any time by the Board. The options to purchase
Common Stock that have been awarded under the 1997 Stock Incentive Plan
generally vest in three equal annual installments beginning one year from the
date of grant and may be exercised over a period not in excess of eleven years.

     A stock incentive plan for outside directors ("the 1997 Stock Incentive
Plan for Outside Directors") was approved by the Holding Company's stockholders
during 1997, replacing a predecessor plan that had been adopted in 1987 (the
"1987 Stock Incentive Plan for Outside Directors") and that terminated by its
terms during 1996. Under the 1997 Stock Incentive Plan for Outside Directors,
which terminates in May 2007, 350,000 shares of Common Stock have been reserved
for future issuance. As amended during 1998, this plan provides for
discretionary grants by the Board to outside directors of the Holding Company
and its eligible direct and indirect subsidiaries of stock options, stock
appreciation rights ("SARs"), restricted Common Stock, and deferred Common
Stock. The terms of such grants are established by the Board. Options that have
been awarded under the 1997 Stock Incentive Plan for Outside Directors have a
term of 11 years, an exercise price equal to the market price of the Common
Stock on the date granted and generally vest in three equal annual installments
beginning one year from the date of grant. At year-end 1998, 308,500 shares of
Common Stock remained available to be awarded under the 1997 Stock Incentive
Plan for Outside Directors.

     The 1987 Stock Incentive Plan for Outside Directors, prior to its
termination, provided for a one-time only grant to each outside director of the
Holding Company of an option to purchase 3,000 shares of Common Stock, a tandem
SAR, which only become exercisable upon a change in control of the Company, and
the right to purchase 1,000 shares of restricted Common Stock at $1.00 per
share. This plan also provided for similar discretionary stock-based awards to
directors of eligible direct and indirect subsidiaries of the Holding Company.
Stock options and SARs granted under the 1987 Stock Incentive Plan for Outside
Directors have an exercise price equal to the market price of the Common Stock
at the date of grant, generally vested in three equal annual installments
beginning one year from the date of grant and may be exercised over a period not
in excess of eleven years.

     The Company also adopted stock incentive plans in 1986 and 1991 (the "1986
Stock Incentive Plan" and the "1991 Stock Incentive Plan," respectively). The
1986 Stock Incentive Plan, which terminated by its terms during 1996, provided
for grants to key employees of Common Stock-based awards, including stock
options, SARs, and restricted Common Stock. The 1991 Stock Incentive Plan
provides for grants to all employees of Common Stock-based awards including
stock options, SARs, restricted Common Stock, deferred Common Stock, certain
loans, and tax offset payments. The 1991 Stock Incentive Plan was amended during
1998 to, among other things, extend its termination date to March 2008 from
February 2004, increase the number of shares of Common Stock reserved for future
issuance by 5,000,000 and provide that the exercise price of options granted on
or after the date of amendment will not be less than the market price of the
Common Stock at the date of grant. At December 31, 1998, 5,123,955 shares of
Common Stock remained available to be awarded under the 1991 Stock Incentive
Plan. All SARs granted under the 1986 and 1991 Stock Incentive Plans have been
awarded in tandem with stock options and become exercisable upon a change in
control of the Company. Stock options and SARs that have been granted under
these plans have an exercise price equal to the market price of the Common Stock
at the date of grant, generally vest in three equal annual installments
beginning one year from the date of grant and may be exercised over a period not
in excess of eleven years.

     In connection with the Anchor Merger, the Holding Company assumed stock
option plans that had previously been adopted by Anchor Bancorp in 1990 and 1992
(the "1990 Stock Option Plan" and the

                                      31

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

"1992 Stock Option Plan," respectively). Upon consummation of the Anchor Merger,
the number of outstanding options under these plans was multiplied by, and the
per share exercise price divided by, 1.77, which was the ratio at which each
share of Common Stock was exchanged for each share of Anchor Bancorp common
stock outstanding at the date of the Anchor Merger (the "Anchor Exchange
Ratio"). The 1990 Stock Option Plan, which terminated by its terms during 1996,
provided for options to key employees, while the 1992 Stock Option Plan, which
was terminated by the Board during 1998, provided for options to all employees
to purchase shares of Common Stock over a period not in excess of ten years, or
in certain circumstances, ten years and one day, with vesting generally
occurring in three equal annual installments beginning one year from the date of
grant. All options granted under these plans have, as applicable, an exercise
price equal to the market price of the Common Stock at the date of grant or the
market price of Anchor Bancorp's common stock at the date of grant as adjusted
for the Anchor Exchange Ratio.

     The following table provides a summary of the Company's stock option
activity for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996 and stock options

these shares was $0.84 and $28.05, respectively, in 1998, $1.00 and $16.76,
respectively, in 1997, and $1.00 and $11.66, respectively, in 1996. At December
31, 1998, there were 430,668 outstanding shares of non-vested restricted Common
Stock. Restrictions generally lapse in installments over the restriction period,
which is generally three to five years. Compensation expense recognized in
operations in connection with restricted Common Stock awards was $2.8 million in
1998, $0.7 million in 1997 and $0.2 million in 1996.

  Employee Stock Purchase Plan

     In 1993, the Company adopted an employee stock purchase plan (the "Employee
Stock Purchase Plan"), reserving 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock for purchase
by eligible employees of the Company. This plan permits a per share purchase
price of between 85% and 100%, as established by the Compensation Committee of
the Board (the "Compensation Committee"), of the market price of the Common
Stock on the first date of the relevant purchase period. The Compensation
Committee also establishes the purchase period and number of shares made
available to each eligible participant during a specified purchase period.
During 1998 and 1997, 79,812 and 60,602 shares, respectively, of Common Stock
were purchased by employees under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan at a per
share price of $15.38 and $12.13, respectively, which, in both cases, was equal
to the Common Stock market price on the first date of the purchase period. No
shares of Common Stock were purchased during 1996 under the Employee Stock
Purchase Plan. During 1998, shares of Common Stock were made available for
purchase in March 1999 under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan at a per share
price of $30.13, which was equal to the Common Stock market price on the first
date of the purchase period. The number of such shares subscribed to amounted to
366,431 at December 31, 1998. Shares of Common Stock available for future
purchase under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan amounted to 635,441 at December
31, 1998. The grant-date fair value of each purchase right granted in 1998, 1997
and 1996 under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan was $4.34, $2.16 and $1.51,
respectively.

  Pro Forma Data

     The Company, as permitted under SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation," accounts for its stock-based compensation awards using the
intrinsic value-based method prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion
No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." Under this method,
compensation cost is measured by the excess, if any, of the quoted market price
of the Common Stock at date of grant, or other measurement date, over the amount
an employee is required to pay to acquire the Common Stock. Had compensation
expense for the Company's stock-based compensation plans been recognized
consistent with the fair value-based method of SFAS No. 123, the Company's net
income and earnings per share would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts
indicated below for the year ended December 31 (in thousands, except per share
data):

     At December 31, 1998, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards for
federal income tax purposes of $65.0 million, substantially all of which are
available to reduce future federal income taxes through the year 2009. In
addition, at that date, the Company had general business tax credit
carryforwards of $7.7 million which are available to reduce future federal
income taxes, of which $1.0 million expire in 2009, $1.5 million expire in 2010,
$1.6 million expire in 2011, $1.8 million expire in 2012,

and $1.8 million expire in 2013. The Company, at December 31, 1998, also had
federal alternative minimum tax credit carryforwards of $4.1 million, which are
available to reduce future federal income taxes without expiration. As a result
of the issuance of Common Stock in connection with the NAMC Acquisition, the
Holding Company underwent an "ownership change," as defined in section 382 of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, which limits the Company's
utilization of its net operating loss carryforwards and equivalent tax credit
carryforwards to no more than $143 million per calendar year.

     During 1996, federal legislation was enacted that generally eliminates the
potential recapture of federal income tax deductions arising from commonly used
methods of calculating bad debt reserves for periods prior to 1988 if an
institution with a thrift charter (such as the Bank) were to change to a
commercial bank charter. In addition, this legislation repealed the reserve
method of tax accounting for bad debts used by the Bank and other "large" thrift
institutions, effective for taxable years beginning after 1995. The legislation
also contains provisions that require the recapture in future periods of tax
reserves for periods after 1987, but such provisions have not and are not
expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial
statements. Further, New York State legislation was enacted during 1996, and New
York City legislation was enacted in March 1997, allowing thrift institutions to
continue to use the reserve method of tax accounting for bad debts and to
determine a deduction for bad debts in a manner similar to prior law.

     At December 31, 1998, the Bank had approximately $209 million of bad debt
reserves for New York income tax purposes for which no provision for income tax
had been made, of which approximately $98 million are subject to recapture upon
distribution to the Holding Company of these tax reserves. Any charge to a bad
debt reserve for other than bad debts on loans would create income for tax
purposes only, which would be subject to the then current corporate tax rate.
For federal tax purposes, approximately $176 million of the Bank's previously
accumulated bad debt deductions are subject to recapture upon its distribution
to the Holding Company. It is not the Bank's intention to make any distributions
to the Holding Company, or use the reserve in any manner, that would create
income tax liabilities for the Bank.

     In order for the Bank to be permitted to maintain a New York tax bad debt
reserve for thrifts, certain thrift definitional tests must be met, including
maintaining at least 60% of its assets in qualifying assets, as defined for tax
purposes, and maintaining a thrift charter. If the Bank failed to meet these
definitional tests, the transition to the reserve method permitted commercial
banks would result in an increase in the New York tax provision because a
deferred tax liability would be established to reflect the eventual recapture of
some or all of the New York bad debt reserve. The Bank's percentage of
qualifying assets at December 31, 1998 was in excess of the minimum threshold.
The Bank does not anticipate failing the thrift definitional tests for New York
tax purposes.

NOTE 23 -- DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

     The Company uses various derivative financial instruments as part of its
overall interest rate risk-management strategy, to manage certain risks
associated with its mortgage banking activities and, to a limited extent, for
trading purposes.

     The Company's exposure to credit risk in connection with its use of
derivative financial instruments is represented by the positive fair value of
the instruments. For a further discussion of the credit risk associated with the
Company's derivative financial instruments, reference is made to Item 7,
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations -- Management of Credit Risk -- Derivative Financial Instruments."

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

     Certain of the Company's derivative financial instruments at December 31,
1998 require that the Company or its counterparty, to the extent that the market
value of the position for that party is negative, maintain collateral, subject
to a minimum call, with the other party. If the Company is subject to an initial
collateral requirement, the amount of the initial collateral modifies the
collateral maintenance level.

     The interest rate swap agreements used by the Company at December 31, 1998
for purposes of interest rate risk management are in the form where, based on an
agreed-upon notional amount, the Company agrees to make periodic fixed-rate
payments, while the counterparty agrees to make periodic variable-rate payments.
The use of these derivative financial instruments allows the Company to achieve
interest income or expense similar to what would exist if it had changed the
interest rate of the hedged assets from a fixed-rate to a variable-rate and had
changed the interest rate of the hedged liabilities from a variable-rate to a
fixed-rate.

     The following table sets forth the contractual maturities of interest rate

     Interest rate caps purchased by the Company represent agreements where, in
return for a premium paid to the counterparty at inception, the counterparty
agrees to pay the Company the excess, if any, of a designated floating market
interest rate over a specified strike interest rate (the "Cap Strike Rate"), as
applied to the notional amount. The interest rate cap agreements used by the
Company for interest rate risk-management purposes at December 31, 1998, all of
which mature in 2000, had a weighted average Cap Strike Rate of 8.00%. The
designated floating market interest rates specified in these agreements were
tied to the weekly average yield of the one-year constant maturity Treasury
index ("CMT").

     Under the Company's outstanding interest rate swaptions at December 31,
1998, the Company, in exchange for the payment of a premium to the counterparty,
has the right to enter into interest rate swaps at a future date. These interest
rate swaptions, all of which are used to hedge the repricing risk on certain
loans receivable with high prepayment risk, mature during 1999 and have a
weighted average strike rate of 6.75%.

     At December 31, 1998, the Company used interest rate futures to hedge the
repricing risk of certain short-term borrowed funds. During 1998, the Company
used short sales of generic MBS to hedge its exposure to changes in the value of
non-generic MBS that it had decided to sell.

     The Company uses forward contracts to hedge its exposure to interest rate
risk associated with loans held for sale origination activities. These contracts
represent firm commitments to deliver MBS or loans at a specified price at a
specified future date. The Company must deliver the MBS or loans in accordance
with the requirements of the contracts or, if it cannot fulfill its contractual
obligations, pair-off the commitments and recognize the gain or loss based on
the change in the price of the underlying contract

(i.e., the specified price minus the repurchase price multiplied by the notional
amount). The outstanding forward contracts at year-end 1998 mature at various
dates through March 1999.

     The Company's outstanding put options at December 31, 1998 give it the
right, but not the obligation, to sell to the counterparty a designated
financial instrument at a specified price during an agreed upon period of time
or on a specific date. The Company pays a premium for this right. Under these
put options, the Company generally benefits if the price of the underlying
financial instrument declines. The outstanding put options at December 31, 1998
mature at various dates through June 1999.

     At December 31, 1998, the Company used interest rate floors, interest rate
caps and interest rate swaps in order to minimize the impact of the potential
loss of net future servicing revenues associated with certain of the Company's
mortgage servicing assets as a result of an increase in loan prepayments, which
is generally triggered by declining interest rates.

     Interest rate floors purchased by the Company for the purpose of hedging
its mortgage servicing assets represent agreements where, in return for a
premium paid to the counterparty at inception, the counterparty agrees to pay
the Company the amount, if any, by which a designated market interest rate
(primarily CMT or swap indices) is less than a specified strike interest rate
(the "Floor Strike Rate"), as applied to the notional amount. The weighted
average Floor Strike Rate on the outstanding agreements at December 31, 1998 was
5.27%. The expected maturities of the notional amounts of the Company's
outstanding interest rate floor agreements at December 31, 1998 were $0.4
billion in 1999, $1.7 billion in 2003, and $0.3 billion in 2005.

     The interest rate cap agreements used by the Company to hedge mortgage
servicing assets at December 31, 1998, all of which mature in 2008, had a
weighted average Cap Strike Rate of 6.09%. The designated floating market
interest rates specified in these agreements were tied to one-month LIBOR.

     The following table sets forth, at December 31, 1998, the contractual
maturities of interest rate swap agreements (excluding those agreements that are
forward starting) hedging mortgage servicing assets, as well as the related
weighted average interest rates payable and receivable at that date (dollars in

  Trading Derivative Financial Instruments

     At December 31, 1998, the derivative financial instruments used by the
Company for trading purposes consisted of interest rate caps with a notional
amount of $165.0 million. The estimated fair value of these interest rate caps
at year-end 1998 was not material. The derivative financial instruments used for
trading purposes during 1998 had an average positive estimated fair value of
$0.1 million during the year. The Company did not use derivative financial
instruments for trading purposes during 1997 or 1996.

     The interest rate cap agreements used by the Company at December 31, 1998
for trading purposes mature in 1999. These instruments had a weighted average
Cap Strike Rate of 6.91% at year-end 1998. The designated floating market
interest rates specified in these agreements were tied to one-month LIBOR.

NOTE 24 -- COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

     The Company has entered into non-cancelable lease agreements with respect
to Company premises and equipment that expire at various dates through the year
2013. Certain leases contain escalation clauses, which correspond with increased
real estate taxes and other operating expenses, and renewal options calling for
increased rents. Net rent expense was $39.2 million, $23.7 million, and $17.7
million for 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively. At December 31, 1998, the
projected minimum future rental payments required under the terms of
non-cancelable leases were $32.2 million in 1999, $29.2 million in 2000, $26.2
million in 2001, $23.4 million in 2002, $19.9 million in 2003, and $71.1 million
in years thereafter. The projected minimum future rental payments have not been
reduced by projected sublease rentals of $3.2 million.

     Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer provided
there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Such
commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or termination clauses and may
require payment of a fee. Since certain of the commitments are expected to
expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts may not represent
future cash requirements. The Company evaluates the creditworthiness of these
transactions through its lending policies. The amount of collateral obtained, if
deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit, is based on the
Company's credit evaluation of the borrower. The Company's maximum exposure to
credit loss for commitments to extend credit as a result of non-performance by
the counterparty is the contractual notional amount.

     The Company had letters of credit outstanding at December 31, 1998 and 1997
of $62.0 million and $23.7 million, respectively. Letters of credit represent
agreements whereby the Company guarantees the performance of a customer to a
third party. The Company requires collateral to support such agreements based on
the Company's evaluation of the creditworthiness of the customer. The credit
risk associated with letters of credit is similar to that incurred by the
Company in its lending activities.

     The Company is obligated under various limited recourse provisions
associated with certain residential and commercial real estate loans sold in
past years. The principal balance of loans sold with limited recourse amounted
to approximately $523 million and $648 million at December 31, 1998 and 1997,
respectively. The Company's exposure to credit loss on loans sold with recourse
is similar to the credit risk associated with the Company's on-balance sheet
loans receivable.

     Certain claims, suits, complaints and investigations involving the Company,
arising in the ordinary course of business, have been filed or are pending. The
Company is of the opinion, after discussion with legal counsel representing the
Company in these proceedings, that the aggregate liability or loss, if any,
arising from the ultimate disposition of these matters would not have a material
adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of
operations.

NOTE 25 -- BUSINESS SEGMENTS

     On January 1, 1998, the Company adopted SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information." SFAS No. 131 establishes
standards for the way that public business enterprises report information about
operating segments in annual financial statements, requires that selected
information about operating segments be reported in interim financial statements
issued to stockholders, and establishes standards for related disclosures about
an enterprise's products and services, geographic areas, and major customers.

     The Company manages its operations in a manner to focus on two strategic
goals: fulfilling its role as a banking institution for both individuals and
businesses and as a national provider of residential mortgage products and
services. Accordingly, the Company aligns its various business objectives in
support of these goals. For purposes of disclosures in accordance with SFAS No.
131, the Company has four reportable business segments: Retail Banking;
Commercial Banking; Mortgage Banking; and Investment Portfolio.

     The financial information provided below has been derived from the internal
profitability system used by management to monitor and manage the financial
performance of the Company. The accounting policies employed for each unit are
largely the same as those described in Note 1, "Summary of Significant
Accounting Policies," in all material respects, and as such, numerous
intersegment transactions are recorded to appropriately reflect each segment's
performance. The Company reflects its internal results on interest-earning
assets and interest-bearing liabilities on a matched funded basis and accounts
for intersegment revenue and transfer costs and credits based upon estimated
fair market values at the time of the transaction. Certain indirect or overhead
costs are allocated to the segments based on total assets and other appropriate
criteria. The Company views its segments' performance on an operating earnings
basis, which represent net income adjusted for the effects of certain
non-recurring or unusual items.

     The following table sets forth certain information regarding the Company's
business segments for the years ended December 31 (in thousands):

     For purposes of this presentation, segment revenues reflect net interest
income, less provision for loan losses, plus non-interest income. Segment profit
reflects tax-effected operating results. The segment revenues and profit above
incorporate certain intersegment transactions that the Company views as
appropriate for purposes of reflecting the performance of certain segments,
which are eliminated in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. To the extent
practicable, the results for 1997 and 1996 have been restated to be comparable
with management's preparation of the 1998 results.

     The Company's management views each of its business segments as if they
were stand-alone operations. As such, the results of operations for each segment
reflect entries that would be recorded for an independent enterprise, such as
charges for services rendered on their behalf by other segments or support
units, and entries relating to the allocation of capital and to the purchase or
sale of funds as needed. The capital allocated to the segment generates
intersegment net interest income. Funds sold or purchased are distributed via
the Company's funding center and are provided on a matched maturity basis. These
intersegment entries are subsequently eliminated in consolidation.

     The other primary adjustments between the internal management reports and
the consolidated operating earnings relate to the production and servicing of
loans in the Company's portfolio. Loans produced that are placed in the
residential real estate loans receivable portfolio are sold to the Retail
Banking segment with an imputed market gain or loss recognized by the Mortgage
Banking segment. As a result, the impact of these transactions, and resultant
ongoing adjustments from prior periods, must be reversed as an intersegment
elimination. Mortgage Banking also receives revenue for servicing the loan
portfolio and Retail Banking is charged for this function as a reduction of its
net yield. There are no other material intersegment adjustments.

revenues and profit to the Company's consolidated totals for the year ended
December 31 (in thousands):

NOTE 26 -- FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

     SFAS No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,"
requires the disclosure, where practicable, of the fair value of on- and
off-balance sheet financial instruments. 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 in a forced or liquidation sale.
Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant
market information and information about the financial instrument. These
estimates do not reflect any possible tax ramifications, estimated transaction
costs, or any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at
any one time the Company's entire holdings of a particular financial instrument.
Because no active market exists for a certain portion of the Company's financial
instruments, the fair value estimates for such financial instruments are based
on judgments regarding, among other factors, future cash flows, future loss
experience, current economic conditions and risk characteristics. These
estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of
significant judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision.
Changes in assumptions could significantly affect these estimates. The Company
has not included certain material items in its disclosure as such items, which
the Company believes have significant value, are not considered financial
instruments under SFAS No. 107.

     The following table sets forth the carrying values and estimated fair
values of the Company's on-balance sheet financial instruments at December 31

</TABLE>

     The methodologies and assumptions used by the Company in estimating the
fair values of its financial instruments are described below.

     The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents was deemed to be a
reasonable estimate of their fair value due to the short-term nature of these
items and because they do not present significant credit concerns.

     The estimated fair value of securities available for sale was determined by
use of quoted market prices or dealer quotes.

     The fair value of FHLBNY stock was estimated to be its carrying value,
which is indicative of its redemption price.

     The estimated fair value of loans held for sale was estimated using the
quoted market prices for securities backed by similar types of loans and current
dealer commitments to purchase loans.

     The estimated fair value of certain loans receivable was deemed to be equal
to their carrying value due to the repricing characteristics of the loans. For
other loans receivable, the Company grouped performing loans with similar
characteristics and applied prices available in the secondary market as a
reference and adjusted for differences in servicing and credit quality. When a
secondary market rate was not available, and for non-performing loans, fair
value was estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis that utilized a
discount rate commensurate with the credit and interest rate risk inherent in
the loans.

     The estimated fair values of accrued interest receivable and payable have
been determined to equal their carrying amounts as these amounts are generally
due or payable within 90 days.

     The estimated fair value of deposits without a specified maturity, which
includes demand, savings and money market deposits, was the amount payable on
the valuation date. For fixed-maturity time deposits, fair value was estimated
based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows using current market
interest rates offered for deposits with similar remaining maturities.

     The estimated fair values of borrowed funds maturing within 90 days were
deemed to be equal to their carrying values. The estimated fair values of all
other borrowed funds were based on quoted market prices or on the discounted
value of contractual cash flows using current market interest rates for
borrowings with similar terms and remaining maturities.

     The estimated fair values of the Company's derivative financial instruments
were based upon quoted market prices, dealer quotes or pricing models. The
estimated fair value of off-balance sheet financial

instruments has not been considered in determining the estimated fair value of
on-balance sheet financial instruments.

     The Company has reviewed its outstanding commitments to extend credit,
commitments to purchase loans, letters of credit and loans sold with recourse at
December 31, 1998 and 1997 and has determined that their estimated fair values
were not material.

     For purposes of the above presentation, segment revenues reflect net
interest income, less provision for loan losses, plus non-interest income. The
accounting policies employed for each segment are largely the same as those
described in Note 1, "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies," of the 1998
10-K in all material respects, and as such, numerous intersegment transactions
are recorded to appropriately reflect each segment's performance. The Company
reflects its internal results on interest-earning assets and interest-bearing
liabilities on a matched funded basis and accounts for intersegment revenue and
transfer costs and credits based upon estimated fair market values at the time
of the transaction. Certain indirect or overhead costs are allocated to the
segments based on total assets and other appropriate criteria. The segment
revenues and profit above incorporate certain intersegment transactions that the
Company views as appropriate for purposes of reflecting the performance of
certain segments, which are eliminated in the preparation of the consolidated
financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles.

     The Company's management views each of its business segments as if they
were stand-alone operations. As such, the results of operations for each segment
reflect entries that would be recorded for an independent enterprise, such as
charges for services rendered on their behalf by other segments or support
units, and entries relating to the allocation of capital and to the purchase or
sale of funds as needed. The capital allocated to the segment generates
intersegment net interest income. Funds sold or purchased are distributed via
the Company's funding center and are provided on a matched maturity basis. These
intersegment entries are subsequently eliminated in consolidation.

     The other primary adjustments between the internal management reports and
the consolidated operating earnings relate to the production and servicing of
loans in the Company's portfolio. Loans produced that are placed in the
residential real estate loans receivable portfolio are sold to the Retail
Banking segment with an imputed market gain or loss recognized by the Mortgage
Banking segment. As a result, the impact of these transactions, and resultant
ongoing adjustments from prior periods, must be reversed as an intersegment
elimination. Mortgage Banking also receives revenue for servicing the loan
portfolio and Retail Banking is charged for this function as a reduction of its
net yield. There are no other material intersegment adjustments.

Note 5 -- Acquisitions

     On April 19, 1999, the Holding Company announced that its wholly-owned
subsidiary, The Dime Savings Bank of New York, FSB (the "Bank"), had entered
into a definitive agreement to acquire the automobile finance business conducted
by Citibank, N.A. In connection therewith, the Bank will acquire automobile
loans, dealer floor-plan loans and commercial real estate loans, which, in the
aggregate, amounted to approximately $930 million as of the date of the
announcement. As part of this transaction, the Bank will also assume certain
deposit relationships. This acquisition, which is subject to regulatory
approval, is expected to close during the third quarter of 1999.

     On December 16, 1998, the Holding Company announced that it had entered
into a definitive agreement to acquire Lakeview Financial Corp. ("Lakeview"),
headquartered in West Paterson, New Jersey. Lakeview is the holding company for
Lakeview Savings Bank, which operates eleven offices in northern New Jersey.
This acquisition is expected to close during the second quarter of 1999. On a
consolidated basis at January 31, 1999, Lakeview had assets of approximately
$573 million and deposits of approximately $462 million. Under the terms of the
agreement, holders of Lakeview's common stock were entitled to elect to receive
either 0.9 of a share of the Holding Company's common stock or $24.26 in cash
for each outstanding share of Lakeview common stock, subject to a requirement
that, in the aggregate, 65% of Lakeview's outstanding shares of common stock
will be exchanged for the Holding Company's common stock and the remaining
shares will be exchanged for cash.

Note 6 -- Recent Accounting Developments

     Effective January 1, 1999, the Company adopted SFAS No. 134, "Accounting
for Mortgage-Backed Securities Retained After the Securitization of Mortgage
Loans Held for Sale by a Mortgage Banking Enterprise." SFAS No. 134 which amends
SFAS No. 65, "Accounting for Certain Mortgage Banking Activities," requires
that, after the securitization of a mortgage loan held for sale, any retained
mortgage-backed security ("MBS") should be classified in accordance with the
provisions of SFAS 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
Securities." However, SFAS No. 134 requires that a mortgage banking enterprise
classify as trading any retained MBS that it commits to sell before or during
the securitization process. The adoption of SFAS No. 134 did not materially
impact the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

     In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS
No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," which
establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments,
including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for
hedging activities. SFAS No. 133 requires that an entity recognize all
derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities in statements of
financial position and measure those instruments at fair value. SFAS No. 133 is
effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999. Earlier adoption of
SFAS No. 133 is encouraged, but is permitted only as of the beginning of any
fiscal quarter that begins after its issuance. SFAS No. 133 may not be applied
retroactively to financial statements of prior periods. The Company intends to
adopt SFAS No. 133 on January 1, 2000. The Company has not completed its
evaluation of the effect that the adoption of SFAS No. 133 will have upon its
financial condition and results of operations.

NOTE 4 -- ACQUISITIONS

         After the close of business on May 21, 1999, the Company acquired
Lakeview Financial Corp ("Lakeview") in a transaction accounted for under the
purchase method (the "Lakeview Acquisition"). Lakeview was the holding company
for Lakeview Savings Bank, which, at the date of acquisition, operated 11
branches in northern New Jersey. At the date of acquisition, Lakeview had
consolidated assets of $560.6 million, including loans receivable, net, of
$282.0 million, and consolidated liabilities of $515.9 million, including
deposits of $461.9 million. Under the terms of the agreement, holders of
Lakeview's common stock received either 0.9 of a share of the Holding Company's
common stock or $24.26 in cash for each outstanding share of Lakeview common
stock. In connection therewith, the Holding Company issued 2,851,938 shares of
its common stock from treasury at an aggregate assigned cost of $69.2 million
and paid a total of $41.4 million in cash. Goodwill arising from the Lakeview
Acquisition amounted to $75.5 million as of June 30, 1999.

         On April 19, 1999, the Holding Company announced that its wholly-owned
subsidiary, The Dime Savings Bank of New York, FSB (the "Bank"), had entered
into a definitive agreement to acquire the automobile finance business conducted
by Citibank, N.A. ("Citibank"). This acquisition was consummated effective as of
August 1, 1999 and was accounted for under the purchase method (the "Citibank
Automobile Finance Business Acquisition"). In connection therewith, the Bank
acquired loans receivable of approximately $950 million, consisting largely of
consumer and business loans. As part of this transaction, the Bank also assumed
deposits of approximately $50 million.

         On May 27, 1999, the Holding Company announced that the Bank had
entered into a definitive agreement to acquire all of KeyBank N.A.'s ("KeyBank")
28 banking branches located in New York's Nassau and Suffolk Counties (the
"Pending KeyBank Branch Acquisition"). At the date of the announcement, these
branches had approximately $1.3 billion of deposits. As part of this
transaction, the Bank will also acquire business and consumer loans associated
with these branches, the total of which amounted to approximately $415 million
as of the announcement date. This acquisition, which is subject to regulatory
approval, is currently expected to close in October 1999 and will be accounted
for using the purchase method.

NOTE 5 -- RECENT ACCOUNTING DEVELOPMENTS

         Effective January 1, 1999, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 134, "Accounting for Mortgage-Backed
Securities Retained After the Securitization of Mortgage Loans Held for Sale by
a Mortgage Banking Enterprise." SFAS No. 134, which amends SFAS No. 65,
"Accounting for Certain Mortgage Banking Activities," requires that, after the
securitization of a mortgage loan held for sale, any retained mortgage-backed
security ("MBS") should be classified in accordance with the provisions of SFAS
115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities."
However, SFAS No. 134 requires that a mortgage banking enterprise classify as
trading any retained MBS that it commits to sell before or during the
securitization process. The adoption of SFAS No. 134 did not materially impact
the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

         In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,"
which establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments,
including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for
hedging



                                       6

activities. SFAS No. 133 requires that an entity recognize all derivative
instruments as either assets or liabilities in statements of financial position
and measure those instruments at fair value. SFAS No. 133, as amended in July
1999 by SFAS No. 137, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities -- Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133," is
effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. The Company intends to
adopt SFAS No. 133 on January 1, 2001. The Company has not completed its
evaluation of the effect that the adoption of SFAS No. 133 will have upon its
financial condition and results of operations.

              Report of Independent Certified Public Accountants

Board of Directors and Stockholders
JeffBanks, Inc.

     We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of JeffBanks,
Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the related
consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders' equity and
comprehensive income, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 1998. 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 consolidated financial position of JeffBanks,
Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the consolidated
results of their operations and their consolidated cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 1998, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     The accounting policies followed by JeffBanks, Inc. (the Company), and its
wholly-owned subsidiaries, Jefferson Bank (JBPA) and Jefferson Bank of New
Jersey (JBNJ) (collectively referred to as the Banks), conform to generally
accepted accounting principles and predominant practices within the banking
industry. The Company is registered under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956.
The Banks are state-chartered banks regulated by the Pennsylvania Department of
Banking and the New Jersey Department of Banking, respectively, and the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation.

     The Banks operate as commercial banks offering a wide variety of
commercial loans and, to a lesser degree, consumer credits, primarily indirect
automobile loans. Their primary future strategic aim is to establish a
reputation and market presence as the "small and middle market business bank"
in their principal markets. The Company funds its loans primarily by offering
time, savings and money market, and demand deposit accounts to both commercial
enterprises and individuals. Additionally, the Company originates and, in
limited amounts, purchases residential mortgage loans, and services such loans
which are owned by other investors. Also, the Company serves as a processor of
merchant credit card deposits. However, these activities are peripheral to the
Company's core business of commercial and consumer lending, and represent less
significant aspects of its operations, as determined by their net contributions
to net income. Principal markets consist of Philadelphia and contiguous
Pennsylvania and southern New Jersey counties.

     The Company and the Banks are subject to regulations of certain state and
federal agencies and, accordingly, they are periodically examined by those
regulatory authorities. As a consequence of the extensive regulation of
commercial banking activities, the Banks' business is particularly susceptible
to being affected by state and federal legislation and regulations.

 Basis of financial statement presentation

     The accounting and reporting policies of the Company and the Banks conform
with generally accepted accounting principles and predominant practices within
the banking industry. All intercompany balances and transactions have been
eliminated. As described in note 2, the Company's acquisitions of Regent
National Bank in 1998 and United Valley Bank in 1997 were accounted for under
the pooling of interests method of accounting. Accordingly, all prior period
amounts have been restated to reflect the acquisitions.

     The preparation of financial statements requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements. These estimates and assumptions also affect reported
amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results
could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates implicit in these
financial statements are as follows.

     The principal estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant
change in the near term relate to the allowance for credit losses; certain
intangible assets, such as goodwill, core deposits, and mortgage servicing
rights; and other real estate owned.

     The evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses
includes, among other factors, an analysis of historical loss rates, by
category, applied to current loan totals. However, actual losses may be higher
or lower than historical trends, which vary. Actual losses on specified problem
loans, which also are provided for in the evaluation, may vary from estimated
loss percentages, which are established based upon a limited number of
potential loss classifications.

     Substantially all outstanding goodwill resulted from the acquisition of
Constitution Bank in 1996, a central Philadelphia institution which had
developed a compelling, if not predominant, market position of being the small
business bank in Philadelphia. As the result of Constitution Bank's market
penetration, JBPA had formulated its own strategy to create such a market role.
Accordingly, implicit in the purchase of the Constitution Bank franchise was
the acquisition of that role. However, if such benefits, including new
business, are not derived or JBPA changes its business plan, estimated
amortization may increase and/or a charge for impairment may be recognized.

     Core deposit intangibles are amortized over estimated lives of deposit
accounts. However, decreases in deposit lives may result in increased
amortization and/or a charge for impairment may be recognized.

     Mortgage servicing rights are amortized consistent with prepayment
estimates. However, if prepayments differ from those estimates, or if market
values decline in excess of amortization recognized, future amortization may
increase and/or a charge for impairment may be recognized.

     Other real estate owned is written down to market based both upon
estimates derived through appraisals and other resources. However, realization
of sales proceeds may ultimately be higher or lower than those estimates.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES  -- (Continued)

     Direct origination costs for credit cards are capitalized and amortized
over card terms to match related expense with future growth in balances and
resulting income. However, if such growth in balances and income does not
occur, estimated amortization may increase and/or a charge for impairment may
be recognized.

     The Company's securities and loan portfolios include interest on
investments which is exempt from federal and state income tax under current tax
laws. Should tax rates be reduced or tax laws be changed to reduce exemptions,
after tax yields would be reduced.

     The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive
Income," which is effective for years beginning after December 15, 1997. This
new standard requires entities presenting a complete set of financial
statements to include details of comprehensive income. Comprehensive income
consists of net income or loss for the current period and income, expenses,
gains, and losses that bypass the income statement and are reported directly in
a separate component of equity. The adoption of SFAS No. 130 has not had a
material effect on the presentation of the Company's financial position or
results of operations.

     The FASB issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise
and Related Information," which is effective for all periods beginning after
December 15, 1997. SFAS No. 131 requires that public business enterprises
report certain information about operating segments in complete sets of
financial statements of the enterprise and in condensed financial statements of
interim periods issued to shareholders. It also requires that public business
enterprises report certain information about their products and services, the
geographic areas in which they operate, and their major customers. Management
has determined that under current conditions, the Company will report one
business segment.

 Investment securities

     The Company accounts for its investment securities in accordance with SFAS
No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities."
This standard requires investments in securities to be classified in one of
three categories: held to maturity, trading, or available for sale. Investments
in debt and equity securities, for which management has both the ability and
intent to hold to maturity, are carried at cost, adjusted for the amortization
of premiums and accretion of discounts computed by the interest method.
Investments in debt and equity securities, which management believes may be
sold prior to maturity due to changes in interest rates, prepayment risk and
equity, liquidity requirements, or other factors, are classified as available
for sale. Net unrealized gains and losses for such securities, net of tax
effect, are reported in other comprehensive income and excluded from the
determination of net income. The Company does not engage in security trading.
Gains or losses on disposition of investment securities are based on the net
proceeds and the adjusted carrying amount of the securities sold using the
specific identification method.

 Loans and allowance for credit losses

     Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the
foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are stated at the amount of
unpaid principal and are net of unearned discount, unearned loan fees and an
allowance for credit losses. The allowance for credit losses is established
through a provision for credit losses charged to expense. Loan principal
considered to be uncollectible by management is charged against the allowance
for credit losses. The allowance is an amount that management believes will be
adequate to absorb possible losses on existing loans that may become
uncollectible based upon an evaluation of known and inherent risks in the loan
portfolio. The evaluation takes into consideration such factors as changes in
the nature and size of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality, specific
problem loans, and current and future economic conditions which may affect the
borrowers' ability to pay. The evaluation also details historical losses by
loan category, the resulting loss rates for which are projected at current loan
total amounts.

     Interest income is accrued as earned on a simple interest basis. Accrual
of interest is discontinued on a loan when management believes, after
considering economic and business conditions and collection efforts, that the
borrower's financial condition is such that collection of interest is doubtful.
When a loan is placed on such non-accrual status, all accumulated accrued
interest receivable applicable to periods prior to the current year is charged
off to the allowance for credit losses. Interest which had accrued in the
current year is reversed out of current period income. Loans 90 days or more
past due and still accruing interest must have both principal and accruing
interest adequately secured and must be in the process of collection.

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (Continued)


NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES  -- (Continued)

     The Company accounts for impaired loans in accordance with SFAS No. 114,
"Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan," as amended by SFAS No. 118,
"Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan - Income Recognition and
Disclosures". This standard requires that a creditor measure impairment based
on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's
effective interest rate, except that as a practical expedient, a creditor may
measure impairment based on a loan's observable market price, or the fair value
of the collateral if the loan is collateral-dependent. Regardless of the
measurement method, a creditor must measure impairment based on the fair value
of the collateral when the creditor determines that foreclosure is probable.

 Bank premises and equipment

     Bank premises and equipment, including leasehold improvements, are stated
at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation expense is computed on the
straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Leasehold
improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful lives of
the improvements or the terms of the related leases.

 Other real estate owned

     Other real estate owned, representing property acquired through
foreclosure, is carried at the lower of the principal balance of the secured
loan or fair value less estimated disposal costs of the acquired property.
Costs relating to holding the assets are charged to expense. Loans in the
amount of $-0- and $511,000 in 1998 and 1997, respectively, were made on
competitive terms and in conformity with normal underwriting standards to
facilitate the sale of other real estate owned.

 Goodwill and core deposit intangibles

     Substantially all outstanding goodwill resulted from the acquisition of
Constitution Bank in 1996 and is being amortized on a straight-line basis over
approximately 15 years. The unamortized balance at December 31, 1998 and 1997
was $3,637,000 and $3,958,000, respectively. In connection with management's
evaluation of the realizability of its deferred tax assets associated with
recent acquisitions, it was determined that the deferred tax asset was more
realizable than not. Accordingly, at December 31, 1997, the deferred tax
valuation account and goodwill were reduced by $3,668,000.

     Additionally, as a result of the Constitution Bank acquisition, the
Company recognized approximately $2,300,000 of core deposit intangibles which
is being amortized on a straight-line basis over approximately seven years. The
unamortized balance at December 31, 1998 and 1997 was $1,231,000 and
$1,560,000, respectively.

 Other assets

     Deferred financing fees of $1,153,000, related to the issuance of trust
preferred securities are being amortized over the remainder of the 30-year term
of the underlying obligations. The unamortized balance at December 31, 1998 and
1997 was $1,082,000 and $1,121,000, respectively.

     Deferred financing fees of $1,368,000, related to the issuance of
subordinated notes and debentures, are being amortized over the remainder of
the original 10-year term of the instruments and are included in other assets.
The unamortized balances at December 31, 1998 and 1997 were $916,000 and
$1,061,000, respectively.

     Certain direct origination costs for credit cards are capitalized and are
being amortized over a two-year or four-year period depending on the term of
the credit card. At December 31, 1998 and 1997, the unamortized balance was
$1,563,000 and $2,276,000, respectively.

 Mortgage servicing

     The Company performs various servicing functions on loans owned by others.
A fee, usually based on a percentage of the outstanding principal balance of
the loan, is received for these services. At December 31, 1998 and 1997, the
Company was servicing approximately $363,350,000 and $363,805,000,
respectively, of loans for others.

     During 1998, 1997 and 1996, the Banks purchased $77,000, $18,000, and
$22,000, respectively, of mortgage servicing rights. The servicing rights are
amortized in proportion to and over the period of estimated net servicing
income. Additional amortization is recognized when prepayments exceed expected
amounts. Unamortized purchased mortgage servicing rights are included in other
assets and amounted to $513,000 and $640,000 at December 31, 1998 and 1997,
respectively. Amortization expense amounted to $204,000, $178,000 and $207,000
in 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively. At December 31, 1998 and 1997, JBPA
maintained $560,000 and $466,000, respectively, of escrow balances associated
with the servicing portfolio.

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (Continued)


NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES  -- (Continued)

     On January 1, 1997, the Company adopted SFAS No. 125, "Accounting for
Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of
Liabilities," as amended by SFAS No. 127, "Deferral of the Effective Date of
Certain Provision of SFAS No. 125," which provides accounting guidance on
transfers of financial assets, servicing of financial assets and
extinguishments of liabilities. The Company originates mortgages under a
definitive plan to sell or securitize those loans and service the loans owned
by the investor. Upon the transfer of the mortgage loans in a sale or a
securitization, the Company records the servicing assets retained in accordance
with SFAS No. 125. The Company recorded mortgage servicing rights of $1,599,000
and $666,000 in 1998 and 1997, respectively, resulting from the respective sales
of $192,899,000 and $113,945,000 of mortgages in those years. Amortization of
these mortgage servicing rights is recognized in accordance with policies for
purchased mortgages, as previously discussed. The unamortized balance of
mortgage servicing rights retained at December 31, 1998 and 1997 was $2,363,000
and $945,000, respectively.


 Long-lived assets


     The Company accounts for long-lived assets in accordance with SFAS No. 121,
"Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets
to Be Disposed Of." SFAS No. 121 provides guidance on when to recognize and how
to measure impairment losses of long-lived assets and certain identifiable
intangibles and how to value long-lived assets to be disposed of.


 Mortgages held for sale


     Mortgages held for sale are recorded at cost, which approximates market.
These mortgages are typically sold within three months of origination without
recourse to the Banks.


 Restrictions on cash and due from banks


     The Banks are required to maintain reserves against customer demand
deposits by keeping cash on hand or balances with the Federal Reserve Bank in a
non-interest bearing account. The amounts of those reserves and cash balances
at December 31, 1998 and 1997 were approximately $13,697,000 and $9,273,000,
respectively.

 Earnings per common share

     The Company follows the provisions of SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share,"
which eliminated primary and fully diluted earnings per share and requires
presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share in conjunction with the
disclosure of the methodology used in computing such earnings per share. Basic
earnings per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income
available to common shareholders by the weighted average common shares
outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share takes into account
the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to
issue common stock were exercised and converted into common stock. Earnings per
share calculations for 1996 have been restated to reflect the adoption of SFAS
No. 128.

 Advertising costs

     The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred.

 Employee benefit plans

     The Banks have certain employee benefit plans covering substantially all
employees. The Banks accrue such costs as incurred.

     The Company adopted SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation," on January 1, 1996, which contains a fair value-based method for
valuing stock-based compensation that entities may use, which measures
compensation cost at the grant date based on the fair value of the award.
Compensation is then recognized over the service period, which is usually the
vesting period. Alternatively, the standard permits entities to continue
accounting for employee stock options and similar equity instruments under
Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued
to Employees." Entities that continue to account for stock options using APB
Opinion No. 25 are required to make pro forma disclosures of net income and
earnings per share, as if the fair value-based method of accounting defined in
SFAS No. 123 had been applied. The Company's stock option plans are accounted
for under APB Opinion No. 25.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES  -- (Continued)

     Other information

     In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activity. SFAS No. 133 establishes accounting and
reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative
instruments imbedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. It
requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or
liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure those
instruments at fair value. If certain conditions are met, a derivative may be
specifically designated as a hedge. The accounting for changes in the fair
value of derivative (gains and losses) depends on the intended use of the
derivative and resulting designation. SFAS No. 133 is effective for all fiscal
quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999. Earlier application is
permitted only as of the beginning of any fiscal quarter. Management is
currently reviewing the provisions of SFAS No. 133.

     Reclassifications

     Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period financial
statements to conform to the 1998 presentation.

NOTE 2 -- ACQUISITIONS AND MERGERS

     In July 1998, the Company through JBPA, completed a merger with Regent
National Bank. Under the terms of the Merger, each share of Regent National
Bank common stock was converted into .505 of a share of the Company's common
stock, as adjusted for the stock split, resulting in the issuance of 1,721,960
shares of the Company's common stock. In addition, outstanding options to
purchase the acquired institution's common stock were converted into options to
purchase 184,830 shares of the Company's common stock at an average exercise
price of $15.76 per share. This transaction was accounted for under the pooling
of interests method of accounting.

     The results of operations of previous separate companies follows:

     The balance of impaired loans was $12,369,000 and $9,857,000 at December
31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The Banks have identified a loan as impaired
when it is probable that interest and principal will not be collected according
to the contractual terms of the loan agreements. The allowance for credit loss
associated with impaired loans was $2,842,000 and $2,324,000 at December 31,
1998 and 1997, respectively. The average recorded investment on impaired loans
was $11,638,000 and $10,759,000 during 1998 and 1997, respectively, and the
income recognized on impaired loans was $-0- for all periods. Total cash
collected on impaired loans during 1998 and 1997 was $2,834,000 and $3,217,000,
respectively, all of which was credited to the principal balance outstanding on
such loans. Interest which would have been accrued on impaired loans during
1998, 1997 and 1996 was $985,000, $1,142,000 and $989,000, respectively. The
Banks' policy for interest income recognition on impaired loans is to recognize
income on restructured loans under the accrual method. The Banks recognize
income on non-accrual loans under the cash basis when the loans are both
current and the collateral on the loan is sufficient to cover the outstanding
obligation to the Banks; if these factors do not exist, the Banks will not
recognize income.

     Loans past due 90 days or more as to interest or principal payments still
accruing interest at December 31, 1998 and 1997 were $7,107,000 and $5,460,000,
respectively. At December 31, 1998 and 1997, there were no commitments to lend
additional funds to borrowers whose loans were classified as non-accrual.

     Loans totalling $137,000,000 and $188,000,000 at December 31, 1998 and

     Subordinated notes and debentures

     The Company issued $23,000,000 of 8.75% subordinated notes due April 1,
2006. These notes are redeemable at the option of the Company, in whole or in
part, at any time on or after April 1, 2001, at their stated principal amount
plus accrued interest, if any. Interest is payable semi-annually on April 1 and
October 1.

NOTE 7 -- DEBT  -- (Continued)

     Guaranteed preferred beneficial interest in the Company's subordinated
debt

     On February 5, 1997, the Company issued $25,300,000 principal amount of
9.25% junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures due March 31, 2027
(the debentures) to JBI Capital Trust I (the Trust), a Delaware business trust,
in which the Company owns all the common equity. The debentures are the sole
asset of the Trust. The Trust issued $25,000,000 of Trust preferred securities
to investors. The Company's obligations under the debentures and related
documents, taken together, constitute a full and unconditional guarantee by the
Company of the Trust's obligations under the Trust preferred securities.
Although the subordinated debentures will be treated as debt of the Company,
they currently qualify for Tier 1 capital treatment, subject to certain
limitations. The Trust preferred securities are callable by the Company on or
after March 31, 2002, or earlier in the event the deduction of related interest
for federal income taxes is prohibited, treatment as Tier 1 capital is no
longer permitted or certain other contingencies arise. The Trust preferred
securities must be redeemed upon maturity of the debentures in 2027.

     Options to purchase 244,000 shares of common stock at an average price of
$29.90 per share were outstanding during the year. They were not included in
the computation of diluted earnings per share because the option exercise price
was greater than the average market price.

NOTE 11 -- EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

     The Company maintains a 401(k) plan covering substantially all employees.
The Company matches $.25 for each dollar contributed by participants up to an
annual maximum of $2,000 per participant. The Company's matching contributions
were $135,000, $111,000 and $95,000 in 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

     The Company maintains an Employee Stock Ownership Plan for employees of
the Banks. Contributions to this plan are made by the Company in amounts
determined by the Board of Directors. Contributions by the Company amounted to
$-0-, $225,000 and $215,000 in 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively. Contributions
are distributed to the Banks in proportion to their respective employee
salaries.

NOTE 12 -- STOCK OPTIONS

     The Company maintains a Key Employee Stock Option Plan (the Plan). Under
the Plan, options to purchase a maximum of 1,000,000 shares of the Company's
common stock may be issued to executive officers and other key employees of the
Company who occupy responsible managerial or professional positions and who
have the capability of making a substantial contribution to the success of the
Company, as selected by the Plan committee. Directors and independent
contractors who, in the judgment of the Plan committee, have contributed to the
success of the Company are also eligible to participate subject to certain
limitations. Options granted under the Plan may be either qualified or
non-qualified. Option prices must be 100% of fair market value of the shares on
the date of grant and the exercise period may not exceed 10 years, except that,
in the case of qualified options granted to persons holding 10% or more of the
combined voting power of the Company, the option exercise price may not be less
than 110% of the fair market value of the shares on the date of grant and the
exercise period for any option may not exceed five years. Vesting of options
granted under the Plan is determined by the Plan committee. The Plan committee
has the right, in its discretion, to permit an optionee to be paid the
difference between the option exercise price and the fair market value of the
option shares on the date of option exercise. At December 31, 1998, options to
purchase 38,300 shares under the Plan were authorized to be issued, but had not
been granted.

     As a result of the Regent National Bank and United Valley Bank mergers,
there are 179,787 and 239,083 respective options outstanding which are
reflected in the tables in this footnote.

     Under former plans of the Company and JBPA, there were exercisable options
outstanding to purchase 53,738 shares of the Company's common stock at $7.91
per share at December 31, 1998. At December 31, 1997 and 1996, there were
exercisable options to purchase 110,250 shares at $8.16 and 54,738 shares at
7.91, respectively. No options were granted or expired during 1998, 1997 and
1996 under these former plans, and 110,250 shares were exercised at $8.16 in
1998.

NOTE 12 -- STOCK OPTIONS  -- (Continued)

     Had compensation cost for the plans been determined based on the fair
value of the options at the grant dates consistent with SFAS No. 123, the
Company's net income and earnings per share would have been reduced to the pro
forma amounts indicated below.

</TABLE>

     These pro forma amounts may not be representative of future disclosures
because they do not take into effect pro forma compensation expense related to
grants before 1995.

     The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant
using the Black-Scholes options-pricing model with the following weighted
average assumptions used for grants in 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively:
dividend yield of 2.59% in 1998, 2.0% in 1997 and 2.5% in 1996; expected
volatility of 22% in 1998, 15% in 1997 and 10% in 1996; risk-free interest rates
of 5.37%, 6.42% and 6.19% in 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively; and expected
lives of 10 years for all three years.

     A summary of the status of the Company's option plans as of December 31,
1998, 1997 and 1996 and the changes during the years ending on those dates is

NOTE 13 -- RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

     At December 31, 1998 and 1997, loans outstanding to certain officers and
directors of the Company and their subsidiaries and companies in which they
have material ownership amounted to $13,425,000 and $19,486,000, respectively.
An analysis of activity in loans to related parties at December 31, 1998
resulted in new loans of $3,954,000; reductions of $10,063,000, representing
payments; and additions of $48,000, representing changes in the composition of
related parties. Deposits of these individuals and their affiliated companies
at December 31, 1998 and 1997 were $60,829,000 and $45,154,000, respectively.
The majority of the related party deposits at December 31, 1998 were short-term
in nature.

     The Banks lease premises from several limited partnerships whose partners
are persons related to the Company. Rental expense under these leases was
$633,000, $355,000 and $355,000 in 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

NOTE 14 -- COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Operating leases

     The Company leases certain of its operating facilities under
non-cancellable operating leases expiring in 1999 through 2018. The leases
require payment by the Company of the real estate taxes and insurance on the
leased properties. Approximate future minimum annual rental payments are as

1997 and 1996, respectively.

Other

     In the normal course of business, the Banks have been named as defendants
in several lawsuits. Although the ultimate outcome of these suits cannot be
ascertained at this time, it is the opinion of management that the resolution
of such suits will not have a material adverse effect on the financial position
or results of operations of the Company.

NOTE 15 -- FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

     SFAS No. 107 requires disclosure of the estimated fair value of an
entity's assets and liabilities considered to be financial instruments. For the
Company, as for most financial institutions, the majority of its assets and
liabilities are considered financial instruments as defined in SFAS No. 107.
However, many such instruments lack an available trading market, as
characterized by a willing buyer and seller engaging in an exchange
transaction. Also, it is the Company's general practice and intent to hold its
financial instruments to maturity and not to engage in trading or sales
activities, except for certain loans. Therefore, the Company had to use
significant estimations and present value calculations to prepare this
disclosure.

     Changes in the assumptions or methodologies used to estimate fair values
may materially affect the estimated amounts. Also, management is concerned that
there may not be reasonable comparability between institutions due to the wide
range of permitted assumptions and methodologies in the absence of active
markets. This lack of uniformity gives rise to a high degree of subjectivity in
estimating financial instrument fair values.

     Estimated fair values have been determined by the Company using the best
available data and an estimation methodology suitable for each category of
financial instruments. The estimation methodologies used, the estimated fair
values, and recorded book balances at December 31, 1998 and 1997 are outlined
below.

NOTE 15 -- FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS  -- (Continued)

     For cash and cash equivalents, the recorded book values of $54,599,000 and
$147,837,000 at December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively, approximate fair
values. The estimated fair values of investment securities are based on quoted
market prices, if available. Estimated fair values are based on quoted market
prices of comparable instruments if quoted market prices are not available.

     The net loan portfolio at December 31, 1998 and 1997 has been valued using
a present value discounted cash flow where market prices were not available.
The discount rate used in these calculations is the estimated current market
rate adjusted for credit risk. The carrying value of accrued interest
approximates fair value.

     The estimated fair values of demand deposits (i.e. interest (checking) and
non-interest bearing demand accounts, savings and certain types of money market
accounts) are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the
reporting date (i.e. their carrying amounts). The carrying amounts of variable
rate accounts and certificates of deposit approximate their fair values at the
reporting date. The carrying amount of accrued interest payable approximates
its fair value.

     The majority of all time deposits with stated maturities totalling
$602,415,000 and $508,139,000 mature or reprice within one year of December 31,
1998 and 1997, respectively; therefore, the recorded book value of such
deposits approximates its fair value.

     The recorded book balance of subordinated debentures of $32,000,000 and
$34,750,000 at December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively, had an approximate
fair value of $32,062,000 and $33,625,000, respectively.

     The recorded book balance of the guaranteed beneficial interest in the
Company's Trust preferred debt of $25,300,000 at December 31, 1998 and 1997 had
an approximate fair value of $25,416,000 and $23,782,000, respectively.

     The fair values of the FHLB advances totalling $109,182,000 and
$203,511,000 are estimated to approximate their recorded book balances at
December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

     There was no material difference between the notional amount and the
estimated fair value of off-balance-sheet items which totalled approximately
$398,409,000 and $364,434,000 at December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively, and
primarily comprise unfunded loan commitments which are generally priced at
market at the time of funding.

NOTE 16 -- FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE-SHEET RISK AND CONCENTRATIONS
           OF CREDIT RISK

     The Banks are parties to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk
in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of their
customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and
standby letters of credit. Such financial instruments are recorded in the
financial statements when they become payable. Those instruments involve, to
varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the
amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. The contract or notional
amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Banks have
in particular classes of financial instruments.

     The Banks' exposure to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the
other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and
standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual or notional amount
of those instruments. The Banks use the same credit policies in making
commitments and conditional obligations as they do for on-balance-sheet
instruments.

     Unless noted otherwise, the Banks do not require collateral or other
security to support financial instruments with credit risk. The approximate
contract amounts are as follows:

NOTE 16 -- FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE-SHEET RISK AND CONCENTRATIONS
           OF CREDIT RISK -- (Continued)

     Commitments to extend 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. The Banks evaluate each
customer's creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral
obtained, if deemed necessary by the Banks upon extension of credit, is based
on management's credit evaluation.

     Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Banks
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 credit
risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that
involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The Banks hold residential
or commercial real estate, accounts receivable, inventory and equipment as
collateral supporting those commitments for which collateral is deemed
necessary. The extent of collateral held for those commitments at December 31,
1998 and 1997 varies up to 100%.

     The Banks grant loans primarily to customers in Philadelphia and its
immediately adjacent suburban Pennsylvania counties which include Chester,
Delaware and Montgomery and southern New Jersey which includes Camden and
Burlington counties. Although the Banks have diversified loan portfolios, a
large portion of their loans are secured by commercial or residential real
property. The Banks do not generally engage in non-recourse lending and
typically will require the principals of any commercial borrower to obligate
themselves personally on the loan. Although the Banks have diversified loan
portfolios, a substantial portion of their debtors' ability to honor their
contracts is dependent upon the economic sector. Commercial and standby letters
of credit were granted primarily to commercial borrowers.

NOTE 17 -- REGULATORY MATTERS

     The Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 restricts the amount of dividends the
Company can pay. Accordingly, dividends should generally only be paid out of
current earnings, as defined.

     The Pennsylvania Banking Code of 1965 restricts the amount of dividends
JBPA can pay. Accordingly, dividends may be declared and paid only out of net
earnings, as defined. Where surplus, as defined, is less than 50% of the amount
of JBPA's capital, no dividend may be paid or declared without the prior
approval of the Pennsylvania Department of Banking (the Department) until the
surplus, as defined, is equal to 50% of the total amount of capital. Where
surplus, as defined, is less than 100% of capital, until such time as surplus
equals capital, JBPA must transfer at least 10% of its net earnings to surplus,
as defined, prior to the declaration of a dividend. The Department has the
power to issue orders prohibiting the payment of dividends where such payment
is deemed to be an unsafe or unsound banking practice.

     The New Jersey Banking Act of 1948 restricts the amount of dividends paid
on JBNJ capital stock. Accordingly, no dividends shall be paid by JBNJ on its
capital stock unless, following the payment of such dividends, the capital
stock of JBNJ will be unimpaired, and (1) JBNJ will have a surplus, as defined,
of not less than 50% of its capital, or, if not, (2) the payment of such
dividend will not reduce the surplus, as defined, of JBNJ.

     The Banks are subject to various regulatory capital requirements
administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital
requirements can initiate certain mandatory - and possible additional
discretionary - actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct
material effect on the Banks' consolidated financial statements. Under capital
adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action,
the Company must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative
measures of the Banks' assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items
as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Banks' capital amounts
and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators
about components, risk weightings and other factors.

     Quantitative measures established by regulations to ensure capital
adequacy require the Banks to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in
the table below) of total and Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to
risk-weighted assets, and of Tier 1 capital to average assets. Management
believes, as of December 31, 1998, that the Banks meet all capital adequacy
requirements to which they are subject.

NOTE 17 -- REGULATORY MATTERS  -- (Continued)

     As of December 31, 1998, the Banks met all regulatory requirements for
classification as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt
corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, the Banks must
maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based and Tier 1 leverage ratios
as set forth in the table. There are no conditions or events since that
notification that management believes have changed the institution's category.

     As of December 31, 1998 and 1997, the Company and the Banks had the
following capital ratios:

Note 3:
     The  unaudited   interim   financial   statements   furnished  reflect  all
adjustments  which  are,  in the  opinion  of  management,  necessary  to a fair
statement of the results for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments
are of a normal recurring nature, except as discussed in these notes.

Note 4:
     Certain  amounts in the  financial  statements  presented for prior periods
have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation.

Note 5:
     In June 1998,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  (FASB)  issued
Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards  (SFAS) No. 133,  "Accounting  for
Derivative   Instruments  and  Hedging   Activity."  SFAS  No.  133  establishes
accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain
derivative instruments imbedded in other contracts,  and for hedging activities.
It  requires  that an entity  recognize  all  derivatives  as  either  assets or
liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure those instruments
at fair value.  If certain  conditions are met, a derivative may be specifically
designated  as a hedge.  The  accounting  for  changes  in the  fair  value of a
derivative  (gains and losses) depends on the intended use of the derivative and
resulting  designation.  SFAS No. 133 is  effective  for all fiscal  quarters of
fiscal years  beginning  after June 15, 1999.  Earlier  application is permitted
only as of the  beginning  of any  fiscal  quarter.  The  Company  is  currently
reviewing the provisions of SFAS No. 133.

Note 6:
     On July 31,  1998,  the Company  completed a merger with Regent  Bancshares
Corp.  and  Regent  National  Bank  ("Regent")  accounted  for as a
pooling  of interests, which accordingly required restatement of financial
statements. Under terms of the merger, each share of common stock was as of
that date converted to .505  shares  of the  Company's  common  stock,
resulting  in the  issuance  of 1,721,960  shares of the Company's  common
stock.  Each option to acquire Regent common stock would be converted into an
option to acquire .505 of a share of the Company's common stock, resulting in
the issuance of up to 184,830 shares of the Company's common stock if all
outstanding Regent options are converted.

Note 7:
     On August 14, 1998, the Company  completed a merger with Pioneer  Mortgage,
Inc.  ("Pioneer")  accounted  for as a pooling of interests,  which  accordingly
required  restatement  of  financial  statements.  The changes  reflecting  such
restatement  were not material.  Pioneer is a mortgage  company  which  operates
within the  Company's  southern  New Jersey  market  with  seven  mortgage  loan
originators.

Note 3:
     The  unaudited   interim   financial   statements   furnished  reflect  all
adjustments  which  are,  in the  opinion  of  management,  necessary  to a fair
statement of the results for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments
are of a normal recurring nature, except as discussed in these notes.

Note 4:
     Certain  amounts in the  financial  statements  presented for prior periods
have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation.

Note 5:
     Subsequent to SFAS No. 133, the FASB issued SFAS No. 137, which amended the
effective  date of SFAS No. 133 to be all fiscal  quarters  of all fiscal  years
beginning after June 15, 2000. Based on the Company's minimal use of derivatives
at the current time, management does not anticipate the adoption of SFAS No. 133
to have a  significant  impact on the  earnings  or  financial  position  of the
Company.  However, the impact of adopting SFAS No. 133 will depend on the nature
and purpose of the derivative instruments in use by the Company at that time.

Note 6:
     On June 29, 1999,  the Company  announced that it had entered into a merger
agreement with Hudson United Bancorp. ("Hudson"),  pursuant to which it would be
acquired by that  institution.  Consummation  of the merger is conditional  upon
required  regulatory  and  shareholder  approvals.  Under  terms of the  pending
merger,  each share of the Company's common stock would be converted into .95 of
a share of Hudson's common stock.

     On August 14, 1998, the Company  completed a merger with Pioneer  Mortgage,
Inc.  ("Pioneer")  accounted  for as a pooling of interests,  which  accordingly
required  restatement  of  financial  statements.  The changes  reflecting  such
restatement  were not material.  Pioneer was a mortgage  company which  operates
within the  Company's  southern  New Jersey  market  with  seven  mortgage  loan
originators.

     On July 31,  1998,  the Company  completed a merger with Regent  Bancshares
Corp.  and  Regent  National  Bank  ("Regent")  accounted  for as a
pooling  of interests, which accordingly required restatement of financial
statements. Under terms of the merger, each share of common stock was as of
that date converted to .505  shares  of the  Company's  common  stock,
resulting  in the  issuance  of 1,721,960  shares of the Company's  common
stock.  Each option to acquire Regent common stock would be converted into an
option to acquire .505 of a share of the Company's  common  stock,  which would
result in the  issuance of up to 184,830 shares of the  Company's  common
stock if all  outstanding  Regent  options are converted.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

To The Stockholders and Board of Directors
Southern Jersey Bancorp of Delaware, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Southern Jersey
Bancorp of Delaware, Inc., and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 1998 and
1997, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders' equity,
and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31,
1998. 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 did not audit the financial statements of F&M
Investment Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary, which statements reflect total
assets of $102,565,000 and $92,210,000 as of December 31, 1998 and 1997,
respectively, and net interest income revenues of $5,891,000, $5,672,000 and
$6,738,000 for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1998, of
the related consolidated totals. Those statements were audited by other auditors
whose reports have been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates
to the amounts included for the F&M Investment Company, is based solely upon the
reports of the other auditors.

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 over all financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits and the reports of other auditors provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, based upon our audits and the reports of other auditors, the
consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly in all
material respects the consolidated financial position of Southern Jersey Bancorp
of Delaware, Inc., and subsidiaries at December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the
consolidated results of their operations and cash flows for each of the

                                      1

years in the three year period ended December 31, 1998, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

Southern Jersey Bancorp of Delaware, Inc. And Subsidiaries
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accounting principles followed and the methods of applying those principles
conform to generally accepted accounting principles and to general practices in
the banking industry. The significant policies are summarized as follows:

(a)         Nature of Operations

Southern Jersey Bancorp of Delaware, Inc. (the Company) is a bank holding
company whose principal activity is the ownership and management of its
wholly-owned subsidiary, The Farmers and Merchants National Bank of Bridgeton
(the Bank). The Bank generates commercial (including agricultural), mortgage and
consumer loans and receives deposits from customers located primarily in
Southern New Jersey and the surrounding areas.

(b)         Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Southern Jersey
Bancorp of Delaware, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, The Farmers and
Merchants National Bank of Bridgeton and AMFDCM, Inc., and the Bank's
wholly-owned subsidiaries, F&M Investment Company and Woulf Asset Holdings,
Inc., after elimination of all material intercompany transactions and balances.

(c)         Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant changes
relate to the determination of the allowance for losses on loans and the
valuation of real estate acquired in connection with foreclosures or in
satisfaction of loans. In connection with the determination of the allowances
for losses on loans and foreclosed real estate, management obtains independent
appraisals for significant properties.

While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans and
foreclosed real estate, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary
based on changes in local economic conditions. In addition, regulatory agencies,
as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Bank's
allowances for losses on loans and foreclosed real estate. Such agencies may
require the Bank to recognize adjustments to the allowance based on their
judgments about information available to them at the time of their

                                      6
<PAGE>   7
examination. Because of these factors, it is reasonably possible that the
allowances for losses on loans and foreclosed real estate may change in the near
term.

(d)         Cash Equivalents

For the purpose of presentation in the consolidated statements of cash flows,
cash and cash equivalents are defined as those amounts included in the balance
sheet caption "cash and due from banks".

(e)         Investment Securities

Debt securities that the Bank has the intent and ability to hold until maturity
are classified as "held-to-maturity" and are carried at historical cost,
adjusted for any amortization of premiums or accretion of discounts. Trading
securities are those held principally for the purpose of selling in the near
future and are carried at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses included
in earnings. Marketable equity securities and debt securities that are not
classified as held-to-maturity or trading are classified as
"available-for-sale" and are carried at fair value, with the unrealized gains
and losses, net of tax, reported as a separate component of stockholders' equity
as accumulated other comprehensive income. As of December 31, 1998, the Bank has
no trading securities or held-to-maturity securities.

Realized gains and losses and declines in value judged to be other than
temporary are included in earnings. The specific identification method is
utilized in determining the cost of a security that has been sold.

Premiums and discounts are amortized and accreted, respectively, as an
adjustment of the securities yield using the interest method, adjusted for the
effects of prepayment on the underlying collateral.

(f)         Loans

Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable
future or until maturity or pay off are reported at their outstanding principal
adjusted for any charge-offs, the allowance for loan losses, and unearned
income.

The interest method is used to amortize unearned income on installment loans and
interest on all other loans is recognized based on the principal balance
outstanding.

The accrual of interest on impaired loans is discontinued when, in management's
opinion, the borrower may be unable to meet payments as they become due. When
interest accrual is discontinued, all unpaid accrued interest is reversed.
Interest income is subsequently recognized only to the extent cash payments are
received.

(g)         Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level considered by management
to be adequate to provide for potential loan losses. The allowance is increased
by provisions charged to operations and reduced by net charge-offs. Management's
periodic evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance is based on the Company's
past loan loss experience, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse
situations that may affect the borrower's ability to repay,

                                      7
<PAGE>   8
the estimated value of any underlying collateral, and current economic
conditions.

(h)         Premises and Equipment

Premises and equipment are carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation and
amortization computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful
lives of the assets.

Property under capital lease is recorded at the present value of the minimum
lease payments and is amortized using the straight-line method over the term of
the lease.

(i)         Other Real Estate Owned

Real estate acquired in satisfaction of a loan is recorded at the lower of cost
or fair value less disposition costs. Properties acquired by foreclosure or deed
in lieu of foreclosure are transferred to other real estate owned and recorded
at the lower of cost or fair value less disposition cost based on their
appraised value at the date actually or constructively received. Losses arising
from the acquisition of such property are charged against the allowance for loan
losses. Subsequent adjustments to the carrying values of other real estate
owned are charged to operating expenses.

(j)         Income Taxes

Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of the transactions reported in
the consolidated financial statements and consist of taxes currently due plus
deferred taxes related primarily to differences between the basis of the
allowance for loan losses, net operating loss and accumulated depreciation. The
deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax return consequences
of those differences which will either be taxable or deductible when the assets
and liabilities are recovered or settled . Deferred tax assets and liabilities
are reflected at income tax rates applicable to the period in which the deferred
tax assets or liabilities are expected to be realized or settled. As changes in
tax laws or rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted
through the provision for income taxes. The Company files consolidated income
tax returns with its subsidiaries.

(k)         Financial Instruments

Other off-balance-sheet instruments. In the ordinary course of business, the
Bank has entered into off-balance-sheet financial instruments consisting of
commitments to extend credit, commitments under credit-card arrangements, and
standby letters of credit. Such financial instruments are recorded in the
consolidated financial statements when they are funded or related fees are
incurred or received.

(l)         Fair Values of Financial Instruments

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating its
fair values of financial instruments as disclosed herein:

Cash and short-term instruments - The carrying amounts of cash and short-term
instruments approximate their fair value.

Available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities - Fair values for securities,
excluding restricted equity securities, are based on quoted market

                                      8
<PAGE>   9
prices. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on
quoted market prices of comparable instruments. The carrying values of
restricted equity securities approximate fair values.

Loans - Fair values are estimated for portfolios of loans with similar financial
characteristics. The fair value of loans is calculated by discounting scheduled
cash flows through the estimated maturity using estimated market discount rates
that reflect the credit and interest rate risk inherent in the loan. The
estimate of maturity is based on the Bank's historical experience with
repayments for each loan classification, modified, as required, by an estimate
of the effect of current economic and lending conditions. Fair values for
impaired loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses or underlying
collateral values, where applicable.

Deposit liabilities - The fair values disclosed for demand deposits are, by
definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The
carrying amounts of variable-rate, fixed-term money-market accounts and
certificates of deposit (CDs) approximate their fair values at the reporting
date. Fair values for fixed-rate CDs are estimated using a discounted cash flow
calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on certificates
to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits.

Off-balance-sheet instruments - Fair values for off-balance-sheet lending
commitments are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar
agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the
counterparties' credit standings.

(m)         Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing earnings available to common
stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during
the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect per share amounts that would have
resulted if dilutive potential common stock had been converted to common stock.
Both basic and diluted earnings per share computations give retroactive effect
to stock dividends.

(n)         Stock Dividend

On December 10, 1998, the Company's Board of Directors declared 3% stock
dividends which were paid on January 1, 1999 to shareholders of record at
December 21, 1998. Payment of the stock dividend resulted in the issuance of
32,683 additional common shares and cash of $4,000 in lieu of fractional shares.

(o)         Trust Fees

Trust fees are recorded on the accrual basis.

(p)         Recent Accounting Standards

As of January 1, 1998, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB) Statement No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" (FAS 130). FAS 130
establishes new standards for reporting comprehensive income, which includes net
income as well as certain other items which result in a change to equity during
the period. Prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform
to the requirements of FAS 130. The adoption of FAS 130 had no impact on the
Company's financial position or results of operations.

(c)         Preferred Stock

   The Company has 500,000 shares of no par value preferred stock authorized,
of which none are issued or outstanding.

(d)         Stock Rights

Pursuant to a shareholder rights plan adopted by the Company on November 30,
1989, the Company distributed common stock purchase rights to the shareholders
of record on November 30, 1989.  Each Right entitles the registered holder
thereof to purchase from the Company following the Distribution Date, one one-
hundredth of a share of Series A Preferred Stock, no par value, at a Purchase
Price of $70.00 per one one-hundredth share, subject to adjustment, or, upon
the occurrence of certain events, Common Stock of the Company or common stock
of an entity that acquires the Company.

A Distribution Date will occur upon the earlier of 10 days following a public
announcement that a Person or group of affiliated or associated Persons has
acquired, or obtained the right to acquire, beneficial ownership of 20% or more
of the outstanding shares of Common Stock; or 10 days following the
commencement of a tender offer or exchange offer that would result in a Person
or group beneficially owning 30% or more of such outstanding shares of Common
Stock.

The Rights are not exercisable until the Distribution Date and will expire at
the close of business on November 30, 1999, unless redeemed earlier by the
Company.

In the event that, at any time following the Distribution Date, the Company is
the surviving corporation in a merger with an Acquiring person and the
Company's Common Stock is not changed or exchanged; a Person becomes the
beneficial owner of more than 30% of the then outstanding shares of Common
Stock (except pursuant to an offer for all outstanding shares of Common Stock

                                      15
<PAGE>   16
that the Continuing Directors determine to be fair to and otherwise in the best
interests of the Company and its stockholders); an Acquiring Person engages in
one or more "self-dealing" transactions; or during such time as there is an
Acquiring Person, an event occurs that results in such Acquiring Person's
ownership interest being increased by more than one percentage point, each
holder of a Right will thereafter have the right to receive, upon exercise
thereof and in lieu of Preferred Stock, Common Stock (or, in certain
circumstances, cash, property, or other securities of the Company) having a
value equal to twice the Purchase Price of the Right.

In the event that, at any time following the Stock Acquisition Date, the
Company is acquired in a merger or other business combination transaction in
which the Company is not the surviving corporation; or 50% or more of the
Company's assets or earning power is sold or transferred to any Person other
than a subsidiary of the Company, each holder of a Right shall thereafter have
the right to receive, upon exercise thereof and in lieu of Preferred Stock,
common stock of the acquiring Person having a value equal to twice the Purchase
Price of the Right.

At any time prior to the earlier of November 30, 1999, or 10 days following the
Stock Acquisition Date, the Company may redeem the Rights in whole, but not in
part, at a price of $0.01 per Right (payable in cash, Common Stock, or other
consideration deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors).

Until a Right is exercised, the holder will have no rights as a shareholder of
the Company, including, without limitation, the right to vote or to receive
dividends.

On April 11, 1996, the Stockholders Rights Agreement dated November 30, 1989
was amended to, among other things, extend the expiration date of the Rights
subject to the Agreement to April 11, 2006, and to increase the purchase price
of one one-hundredth of a share of Series A Preferred Stock, no par value, from
$70 to $90.

(e)         Stock Option and Stock Appreciation Rights Plan

On August 7, 1988, the Company initiated a stock option and stock appreciation
rights plan (Plan #1) for sale or award to key employees as incentive stock
options, non-qualified stock options or stock appreciation rights, and may not
be exercised later than ten years from the date of the grant.  The options
exercise price is $18.00 per share.  On August 7, 1998, all outstanding stock
appreciation rights under (Plan #1) expired.

On March 25, 1993, the Company initiated a second stock option and stock
appreciation rights plan (Plan #2) with the same terms and conditions as the
first plan with the options exercise price at $20.00 per share.

On December 8, 1994, the Company initiated a third stock option and stock
appreciation rights plan (Plan #3) with the same terms and conditions as the
previous two plans with the options exercise price at $31.00 per share.

The Company accounts for the stock option plans under Accounting Principles
Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and related
interpretations.  Accordingly, no compensation expense has been recognized for
the stock options.  All options were granted prior to the adoption date of SFAS
Statement No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation."  Therefore, the

                                      16
<PAGE>   17
Company is not required to adopt the fair value provisions or present pro forma
financial information.

The stock options were satisfied with reissuance of treasury stock.

The following table summarizes the options activity:

NOTE 8 - RETIREMENT PLANS

(a)         401(K) Profit Sharing Plan

The Bank has a profit sharing retirement plan under which eligible employees
may defer a portion of their annual compensation, pursuant to Section 401(K) of
the Internal Revenue Code.  The Bank matches employee contributions at a
designated rate times elective contribution. All employees with at least one
year of service and who have attained the age of 21 are eligible to
participate.  The Bank's contributions to the 401(K) plan were $93,000, $82,000
and $72,000 for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996.

(b)         Defined Benefit Pension Plan

The Bank has a non-contributory defined benefit pension plan which covers
substantially all salaried employees.  Benefits under this plan are based on
the employees' highest consecutive five years' compensation in the last ten
years prior to retirement.  The Bank's policy has been to fund the pension plan
on a current basis to the extent deductible under existing tax regulations.

Pension expense in the amount of $34,000, $112,000 and $129,000 was recognized
for the years ended 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The following table sets

The projected benefit obligation, accumulated benefit obligation, and fair
value of plan assets for the pension plan with accumulated benefit obligations
in excess of plan assets were $4,077,000, $3,220,000, and $5,084,000,
respectively, as of December 31, 1998, and $3,958,000, $2,945,000, and
$5,067,000, respectively, as of December 31 1997, and $3,657,000, $2,729,000,
and $4,083,000, respectively, as of December 31, 1996.

No amounts were included in other comprehensive income arising from a change in
the additional minimum pension liability at December 31, 1998 and December 31,
1997.

The prior-service costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the average
remaining service period of active participants.  Gains and losses in excess of
10% of the greater of the benefit obligation and the market-related value of
assets are amortized over the average remaining service period of active
participants.

Plan assets are invested in common stocks, treasury securities and corporate
obligations, with the balance in cash and short-term investments.   Investment
in the Company's stock as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, was 20,544 shares
valued at $555,000 and $1,243,000, respectively.

NOTE 9 - DEFERRED COMPENSATION

The Bank has a deferred compensation plan for the benefit of key employees.
Under the plan, upon retirement after age 65, the employee shall receive a
minimum of fifty percent of his then monthly salary for one hundred twenty
months. This amount will be reduced by one-half of one percent for each month
that retirement is prior to age 65 with the minimum age for retirement at age
60.  If a covered employee dies while employed by the Bank, a death benefit of
fifty percent of the employee's then annual salary is payable to the employee's
beneficiary over ten years.  The expense charged to operations for future
obligations was $27,000, $15,000 and $11,000 in 1998, 1997 and 1996,
respectively.

NOTE 10 - CASH SURRENDER VALUE OF LIFE INSURANCE

Commencing in 1997, the Bank maintains life insurance policies on several
officers.  The policies are of three types: officer supplemental life
insurance/split-dollar plan, group term replacement/split-dollar plan, and
salary continuation plan.  Under the officer supplemental life insurance/split-
dollar plan and the group term replacement/split-dollar plan, the Bank pays the
premium and receives, upon termination of the policy or the death of the
insured, the cash surrender value of the policy, and the insured or a
designated beneficiary receives the balance of benefits paid.  The salary
continuation plan is a deferred compensation for key employees (Note 9).  The
Bank is the owner and beneficiary of the policy.  The insurance purchased is
designed to offset the Bank's contractual obligations under deferred
compensation agreements.

NOTE 11 - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Bank is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the
normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers and to
reduce its own exposure to fluctuations in interest rates.  These financial
instruments include commitments to extend credit, commitments under credit-card
arrangements to extend credit, standby letters of credit and financial
guarantees.  Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit

                                      19
<PAGE>   20
and interest-rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the Consolidated
Balance Sheets. The contract or notional amounts of those instruments reflect
the extent of the Bank's involvement in particular classes of financial
instruments.

The Bank's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other
party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit, commitments
under credit-card arrangements to extend credit, standby letters of credit, and
financial guarantees written is represented by the contractual notional amount
of those instruments. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making
commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet
instruments.

Commitments to Extend Credit and Financial Guarantees - Commitments to extend
credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is to 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.
The Bank's experience has been that approximately 97 percent of loan commitments
are drawn upon by customers. While approximately 20 percent of performance
letters of credit are utilized, a significant portion of such utilization is on
an immediate payment basis. The Bank evaluates each customer's creditworthiness
on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if it is deemed
necessary by the Bank upon extension of credit, is based on management's credit
evaluation of the counterparty. Collateral held varies but may include accounts
receivable; inventory, property, plant, and equipment; and income-producing
commercial properties.

Standby letters of credit and financial guarantees written are conditional
commitments issued by the Bank 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 credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is
essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to
customers.  The percentage of collateral held for those commitments was
approximately 19%.

During 1998, the Bank had 5 letters of credit drawn upon.  The Bank had not
been required to perform on any financial guarantees during 1997 and 1996, and
had not incurred any losses on its commitments in 1998, 1997 or 1996.

The estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments were as
follows (In Thousands):

NOTE 12 - SIGNIFICANT CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK

Most of the Bank's business activity is with customers located within the
Bank's geographical area.  The Bank is mandated by the Community Reinvestment
Act and other regulations to conduct most of its lending activities within the
geographical area where it is located.  As a result, the Bank and its borrowers
may be vulnerable to the consequences of changes in the local economy.
Investments in state and municipal securities involve governmental entities
within the Bank's geographical area.

The distribution of commitments to extend credit approximates the distribution
of loans outstanding.  Commercial and standby letters of credit were granted
primarily to commercial borrowers.

The contractual amounts of credit-related financial instruments, such as
commitments to extend credit, credit-card arrangements, and letters of credit,
represent the amounts of potential accounting loss should the contract be fully
drawn upon, the customer default and the value of any existing collateral
become worthless.

available for carryforward to offset future taxable income, and if not
utilized, will expire on December 31, 2013.

NOTE 14 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

In the ordinary course of business, the Bank has various outstanding
commitments and contingent liabilities that are not reflected in the
accompanying consolidated financial statements.  In addition, the Bank is a
defendant in certain claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of
business. In the opinion of management, after consultation with legal counsel,
the ultimate disposition of these matters is not expected to have a material
adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition of the Bank.

The Bank provides self-funded comprehensive health care coverage to
substantially all of its employees. The plan is covered by an umbrella policy
for catastrophic illnesses. The Bank's maximum liability is $35,000 per
participant for 1998 and 1997, with an overall maximum liability of $523,000
for 1998 and $476,000 for 1997.

NOTE 15 - DIVIDEND RESTRICTION AND REGULATORY MATTERS

Permission from the Comptroller of the Currency is required if the total of
dividends declared in a calendar year exceeds the total of its net profits, as
defined by the Comptroller, for that year, combined with its retained net
profits of the two preceding years. There are no retained net profits of the
Company available for dividends as of December 31, 1998.

The Company and its bank subsidiary (the Companies) are subject to various
regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies.

Failure to meet the minimum capital requirements can initiate certain
mandatory, and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if
undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company's consolidated
financial statements.  Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory
framework for prompt corrective action, the Companies must meet specific
capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities,
and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting
practices. Capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative
judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other
factors.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy
require the Companies to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the
table below) of total and Tier I capital(as defined in the regulations) to
risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier I capital (as defined) to
average assets (as defined).  Management believes, as of December 31, 1998,
that the Companies meet all the capital adequacy requirements to which they are
subject.

As of December 31, 1998, the most recent notifications from applicable
regulatory agencies indicate that the Companies were categorized as well
capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action.  To be
categorized as well capitalized, an entity must maintain a minimum total risk-
based, Tier I risk-based, and Tier I leverage ratios as set forth in the table
below.  There are no conditions or events since the most recent notification
that management believes have changed the institution's category.

The Companies' actual capital amounts and ratios are presented in the following
table (In Thousands):

NOTE 16 - YEAR 2000 (unaudited)

The Company began the process of preparing its computer systems and
applications for the Year 2000 in 1997.  The process includes directing its
external service providers to take the appropriate action to ensure Year 2000
compliance, as well as replacing its hardware and software in the third quarter
of 1998.  Management believes their new computer systems are a comprehensive
solution to the Year 2000 issues.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

To the Board of Directors of
F & M Investment Company

We have audited the balance sheets of F & M Investment Company, (a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Farmers & Merchants National Bank) as of December 31, 1998 and
1997, and the related statements of stockholders' equity, income and cash flows
for the years then ended.  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 from
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 audit provides 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 F & M Investment Company, as
of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the results of its operations and cash flows
for the years then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

As discussed in Note I to the financial statements, the Company adopted
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive
Income" effective in 1998.
