U.S.B. HOLDING CO., INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

1.  PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

    In 1983, U.S.B. Holding Co., Inc. (the Company) issued on a one-for-one
    basis, its common stock in exchange for all of the outstanding stock in
    Union State Bank (the Bank), the Company's principal subsidiary.  The
    financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its
    wholly-owned banking subsidiaries (the Banks), Union State Bank and Royal
    Oak Savings Bank F.S.B. (Royal) and its non-bank subsidiary, Ad Con, Inc.
    All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in
    consolidation.

2.  RECLASSIFICATIONS

    Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year accounts to conform
    to the current year presentation.

3.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

    In the opinion of Management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated
    financial statements include all adjustments (comprising only normal
    recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position of
    the Company as of March 31, 1995, the results of operations for the three
    month periods ended March 31, 1995 and 1994, cash flows for the three month
    periods then ended, and changes in stockholders' equity for the three months
    ended March 31, 1995. A summary of the Company's significant accounting
    policies is set forth in Note l to the Consolidated Financial Statements in
    the Company's Annual Report to Shareholders for 1994.

4.  ACCOUNTING FOR IMPAIRMENT OF A LOAN

    Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 114, "Accounting for
    Impairment of a Loan," as amended by SFAS No. 118, "Accounting by Creditors
    for Impairment of a Loan-Income Recognition and Disclosures," which was
    adopted by the Company as of January 1, 1995, requires recognition of an
    impairment of a loan when it is probable that either principal and/or
    interest are not collectible in accordance with the terms of the loan
    agreement.  Measurement of the impairment is based on the present value
    of expected cash flows discounted at the loan's effective rate or, as a
    practical expedient, at the loan's observable market price or the fair
    value of the collateral if the loan is collateral-dependent.  The impact
    on the Company's books as a result of the implementation of SFAS 114 was
    not material. Prior to 1995, the allowance for credit losses related
    to impaired loans was based on undiscounted cash flows or the fair value
    of the collateral for collateral dependent loans. The Company primarily
    uses the cash basis method to recognize interest income on loans that
    are impaired.

    At March 31, 1995, the recorded investment in loans that are considered
    to be impaired under SFAS 114 was $3.6 million (of which $3.1 million
    were in non-accrual status). Each impaired loan has a related allowance
    for credit losses determined in accordance with this statement. The total
    allowance for credit losses related to impaired loans was $584,000 as of
    March 31, 1995. The average recorded investment in impaired loans for the
    period ended March 31, 1995 was approximately $3.6 million. For the period
    ending March 31, 1995, interest income recognized by the Company on impaired
    loans was not material.


5.  SECURITIES AND LOANS HELD FOR SALE

    As of January 1, 1994, the Company adopted SFAS No. 115, "Accounting for
    Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities," which had an after-tax
    effect of an increase to stockholders' equity of $919,000, and revised its
    securities accounting policy.  Securities that may be sold as part of the
    Company's asset/liability or liquidity management, or in response to or in
    anticipation of changes in interest rates and resulting prepayment risk, or
    for other similar factors, were classified as available for sale and carried
    at fair value.  Securities that the Company has the ability and positive
    intent to hold to maturity are classified as held to maturity and carried at
    amortized cost, including certain mortgage-backed securities which were
    reclassified as such upon clarification of applicable regulatory parameters.

5.  SECURITIES AND LOANS HELD FOR SALE (Cont'd)

    Realized gains and losses on the sales of all securities are reported in
    earnings. Unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities are
    shown, net of taxes, as a separate component of stockholders' equity. At
    March 31, 1995 and December 31, 1994, the effect of SFAS No. 115 was a
    reduction of securities by $2,005,000 and $4,101,000, respectively, which
    after the applicable tax effect, resulted in a reduction to stockholders'
    equity of $1,182,000 and $2,665,000, respectively, representing the
    unrealized loss.

    The decision to sell available for sale securities is based on management's
    assessment of changes in economic or financial market conditions, interest
    rate risk, and the Company's financial position and liquidity. Fair values
    for securities are based on quoted market prices, where available. If quoted
    market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market
    prices of comparable instruments.

    The Banks do not acquire securities for the purpose of engaging in trading
    activities.

    A summary of the amortized cost and fair value of securities and related
    gross unrealized gains and losses at March 31, 1995 and December 31, 1994,
    follows:

    At March 31, 1995 Royal had outstanding term advances with the Federal Home
    Loan Bank of Atlanta in the amount of $5,500,000; $1,000,000 due April 4,
    1995 with an interest rate of 6.58%, $1,000,000 due April 10, 1995 with an
    interest rate of 6.54%, $1,000,000 due April 12, 1995 with an interest rate
    of 6.41% and $2,500,000 due April 28, 1995 with an interest rate of 6.40%.
    The Bank had a $5.0 million advance from the Federal Home Loan Bank of New
    York with a final maturity on November 15, 1999, with options to prepay
    without penalty in whole or in part on November 14, 1995 and seminanually
    thereafter.  The advance has an interest rate adjusting monthly to 20 basis
    points over the one month London Inter-Bank Offer Rate (LIBOR) rate.  The
    interest rate at March 31, 1995 was 6.325%.

    (Cont'd)

    Advances of the Banks are collateralized by stock in the Federal Home Loan
    Banks of New York and Atlanta and by certain mortgage loans under a blanket
    pledge agreement.

    The dividend rate on the Company's Series "A" preferred stock issued to a
    single investor is determined quarterly and is subject to certain minimum
    and maximum per annum dividend rates as specified in the agreement. For the
    three month periods ended March 31, 1995 and 1994, the weighted average
    dividend rates were 8.4% (the minimum rate) for each period, and the net
    income per common share reflects the preferred stock dividends declared and
    accrued totalling $79,000 for each three month period ended March 31, 1995
    and 1994, respectively.

    In December 1993, the Company implemented a Dividend Reinvestment Plan. The
    Plan allows stockholders to invest cash dividends in shares of the Company's
    stock at fair value and in the third quarter of 1994, a stock purchase
    feature was added to allow stockholders to purchase at fair value up to
    $2,500 per quarter. As of March 31, 1995, 200,000 shares of common stock are
    reserved for issuance in connection with the Plan, of which 60,261 shares
    have been issued.

    Shares granted but not yet issued under the Company's stock option plans are
    considered common stock equivalents for earnings per share calculations;
    however, these options had a minor dilutive effect (less than 3%) in the
    first quarter of 1994 and, therefore, are not reflected in the earnings per
    share computation for that period. In the first quarter of 1995, the
    dilutive effect of stock options granted was greater than 3%. Net income per
    common share is based on net income after preferred stock dividend
    requirements and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
    and, in 1995, common equivalent shares, adjusted for common stock dividends.

    The Company and its subsidiaries' ability to pay cash dividends in the
    future are restricted by various regulatory requirements. The Company's
    ability to pay cash dividends to its shareholders is primarily dependent
    upon the receipt of dividends from the Banks. The Bank's dividends to the
    Company may not exceed the sum of the Bank's net income for that year and
    its undistributed net income for the preceding two years, less any required
    transfers to paid-in capital. Royal may pay dividends to the Company, upon
    30-day notice to the OTS, if it has met its fully-phased-in capital
    requirements, in an amount that would not reduce its surplus capital ratio
    by more than one-half at the beginning of the year, plus all of its net
    income determined on the basis of generally accepted accounting principles
    for that calendar year. Royal must continue to meet all fully-phased-in
    capital requirements after the proposed capital distribution.

    The Company issued $1,700,000 in 1991 ($200,000 repaid in July 1993) and
    issued $300,000 in 1992 of the $2.0 million Series "A" subordinated notes
    authorized by the Company, to other banking and credit institutions and
    individual investors, 80% of which currently qualifies as Tier II capital
    under risk-based capital guidelines at March 31, 1995. The notes, which
    mature on June 30, 1999, bear interest at a floating rate of prime plus
    one-half percent, payable

    quarterly.  The weighted average interest rates for the three month periods
    ended March 31, 1995 and 1994 were 9.33% and 6.52%, respectively.  The
    Company intends to prepay the notes in the second quarter of 1995.

7.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

    At March 31, 1995, the Bank was committed under an employment agreement with
    a key officer, director and shareholder requiring annual salary and other
    payments of $340,000, increasing annually by $30,000 during the term of the
    contract, annual stock option grants of 20,000 shares, issued at fair value
    at the date of grant and other benefits for the term of the contract
    expiring July 1, 1999.

    During the three month period ended March 31, 1995, the Bank sold in the
    secondary market for cash, mortgage loans with net proceeds totalling $2.7
    million.  During the quarter ended March 31, 1995, no fixed rate residential
    mortgages were swapped with the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation
    (FHLMC) by the Banks for guaranteed participation certificates in
    residential mortgage pools.

    At March 31, 1995, the principal balance of the loans sold and exchanged
    with the FHLMC which remain uncollected approximated $120.8 million. The
    Banks are committed to service these loans. At March 31, 1995, the Bank was
    also committed to service approximately $787,000 of outstanding mortgage
    principal balances relating to the State of New York Mortgage Agency
    (SONYMA).

    In the normal course of business, the Banks make various commitments to
    extend credit which are not reflected in the accompanying financial
    statements.  At March 31, 1995, formal credit line and loan commitments,
    which are primarily loans collateralized by real estate at variable interest
    rates, approximated $74.8 million and outstanding letters of credit totalled
    $7.7 million.  Such amounts represent the maximum risk of loss on these
    commitments.

    In the ordinary course of business, the Company is party to various legal
    proceedings, none of which, in the opinion of Management, will have a
    material effect on the financial position of the Company.

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


FINANCIAL CONDITION

At March 31, 1995, the Company had total assets of $637.9 million, an increase
of 6%, or $35.3 million from December 31, 1994. Total deposits increased $36.8
million for the three month period ended March 31, 1995, to $580.6 million,
which represented a 7% increase from December 31, 1994. Time deposits increased
$41.4 million, primarily due to a time deposit promotion associated with the new
Ossining branch opening of the Bank ($12.4 million) and an increase in time
deposits of $100,000 and over from local municipalities ($22.5 million). Both
the retail time deposits and municipal time deposits, which are obtained on a
bidding basis with maturities of 30 to 180 days, were used to temporarily fund
loans and securities under the Company's asset liability policy. Savings
deposits also increased $5.2 million as the Company introduced and promoted new
products during the quarter. These products included a tiered-rate savings
product and a "liquid gold" account which pays a rate equal to the Federal
Reserve discount rate. These increases were offset by decreases in demand
deposits ($7.4 million), money market deposits ($1.3 million) and NOW accounts
($1.0 million) as customers generally switched their balances to the higher
yielding deposit products in an increasing rate environment.

The increase in deposits was used to fund security purchases and loan closings.
In addition, Federal funds sold increased by $20.0 million at March 31, 1995,
compared to December 31, 1994, as time deposits increased substantially in
the higher deposit rate environment. These funds are being utilized during
the second quarter to further fund loan closings and additional security
purchases.

The securities portfolio of $231.4 million and $225.5 million at March 31, 1995
and December 31, 1994, respectively, consists of securities held to maturity of
$144.4 million and $149.6 million and securities available for sale totalling
$87.0 million and $75.9 million.

Obligations of other U.S. Treasury and Government agencies increased by $14.6
million in the quarter ended March 31, 1995 due to the purchases of $35.9
million, net of $7.0 million of called securities and sales of $14.2 million.
The securities sold were those which would have been called during 1995.
Obligations of other U.S. Government agencies are often used as collateral for
the Company's borrowing requirements. Mortgage-backed securities decreased $4.8
million during the quarter as a result of principal payments, sales of $7.7
million of available for sale securities, offset by purchases of $3.4 million,
which was a part of an overall restructuring of the portfolio to adjust to
the change in market conditions as interest rates were falling and a decrease
in the net unrealized loss on mortgage-backed securities of $1.7 million. The
Bank's investment in obligations of states and political subdivisions
decreased by $2.9 million for the three month period due to maturities.
However, the Bank still considers such securities as core investments which
are high yielding on a tax equivalent basis and have diversified final
maturities and will maximize its holdings of "tax-qualified" tax-exempt New
York State securities as they become available at attractive yields. The
Banks also invest in medium-term corporate debt securities and other
securities which are rated investment grade by nationally recognized rating
organizations. During the quarter ended March 31, 1995, such securities had a
net decrease of $1.0 million, principally due to maturities of corporate
bonds of $3.0 million, which offset purchases during the period. The Company
continues to invest in securities that provide safety and liquidity, produce
income on excess

funds during structural changes in the composition of deposits, as well as
during cyclical and seasonal changes in loan demand, and whose cash flow
patterns result in a low degree of interest rate risk.

At March 31, 1995, net loans were $342.0 million, a net increase of $11.7
million from December 31, 1994. Outstanding loan balances increased $3.0 million
in commercial mortgages, $4.9 million in construction loans, $1.3 million in
residential mortgages (net of mortgage loan cash sales of $2.7 million), $.8
million in home equity loans and $2.4 million in time secured and unsecured
loans, offset by net payoffs in installment loans. At March 31, 1995, the Banks
had approximately $74.8 million in loan commitments outstanding. It is expected
that future loans will be funded principally by excess funds temporarily placed
in Federal funds sold, deposits from customers and municipalities, loan
repayments from existing loan customers and maturing securities.

The Bank's allowance for loan losses was $3.3 million at both March 31, 1995 and
December 31, 1994. The loan loss allowance represented .97% of net loans
(including loans held for sale) outstanding at March 31, 1995, compared to 1.01%
at December 31, 1994. The allowance reflects a provision of $200,000 and net
charge-offs of $197,000 recorded during the quarter ended March 31, 1995.
Management takes a prudent and cautious position in evaluating various business
and economic uncertainties in relation to the Company's loan portfolio. At March
31, 1995, management believes that the allowance is considered adequate to
absorb potential losses inherent in the credit portfolio.

Stockholders' equity increased to $41.6 million at March 31, 1995, an increase
of $3.3 million from the December 31, 1994 balance of $38.3 million. The net
income of $1.7 million for the three month period ended March 31, 1995 was
offset by cash dividends on both its preferred stock of $79,000 and common stock
of $271,000. Under the Company's dividend reinvestment plan, stockholders
purchased 12,445 shares of common stock at a value of $313,000 and stock options
of 14,679 shares were exercised under the Company's stock option plans, in the
aggregate amount of $140,000. Due to market conditions during the quarter, the
effect of SFAS No. 115 for the three month period ended March 31, 1995, was an
increase to stockholders' equity, net of tax effect, of $1,483,000.

The Company's leverage ratio at March 31, 1995 of 6.85%, down from 7.21% at
December 31, 1994, was well above the "well-capitalized" level of five percent.
The Company's Tier I and total capital ratios under the risk-based capital
guidelines were 10.71% and 11.91% at March 31, 1995 and 10.58% and 11.82% at
December 31, 1994, respectively, which remained above the "well-capitalized"
levels of six percent (Tier I) and ten percent (Total Capital).

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

EARNINGS

Net income for the three month period ended March 31, 1995, decreased $142,000
or 8% to $1.7 million, compared to the same period in 1994. Net income per
common and common equivalent share decreased to $.64 per share in the first
quarter of 1995 from $.73 per common share recorded in the same period in 1994.
The annualized return on average total assets decreased to 1.10% for the three
months ended March 31, 1995 from 1.37% for the quarter ended March 31, 1994. A

CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Cont'd)

EARNINGS (Cont'd)

discussion of the factors impacting the changes in the various components of net
income follows.

NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income, the difference between interest income and interest
expense, is a significant component of the Company's consolidated earnings. For
the three month period ended March 31, 1995, net interest income increased 2% to
$5.9 million, from $5.8 million in the year earlier period. Although net
interest income increased $138,000 year-to-year due to the volume increase of
average net earning assets, the net interest spread declined to 3.57% in the
first quarter of 1995 from 4.34% in the three month period ended March 31, 1994,
as interest rates increased throughout 1994 and into the first quarter of 1995.
During the first quarter of 1995, much of the effect of seven short-term
interest rate increases by the Federal Reserve during 1994 and the first
quarter of 1995, impacted the Company's net interest spread. Cost of funds
rose as deposit rates increased, principally in saving accounts with the
introduction of a new product which paid a rate equal to the Federal Reserve
discount rate, and time deposits due to the new Ossining branch promotion and
the effect of time deposits renewing at the prevailing higher rates. The
impact of an increased level of nonaccrual loans in the first quarter of 1995
compared to 1995 also negatively affected net interest income year-to-year.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

The provision for loan losses increased $65,000 to $200,000 for the three month
period ended March 31, 1995, compared to the same period in 1994. Charge-offs in
the first quarter of 1995 totalled $205,000 relating primarily to commercial
loans, compared to $47,000 of charged-off loans during the same period in 1994.
Nonaccrual loans, which are principally secured by real estate, increased to
$6.9 million at March 31, 1995, from $5.9 million at December 31, 1994 and $4.0
million at March 31, 1994. It is the Company's policy to discontinue the accrual
of interest on loans when, in the opinion of management, a reasonable doubt
exists as to the timely collectibility of the amounts due. Net income is
adversely impacted by the level of non-performing assets of the Bank since, in
addition to foregone revenue, the Company must increase the level of provision
for loan losses, and incur other costs associated with collections of past due
balances.

An evaluation of the quality of the loan portfolio is performed by management on
an ongoing basis as an integral part of the loan function, which includes the
identification of past due loans, the recognition of the current economic
environment and the review of the historical loan experience. Management has
taken a prudent and cautious position in evaluating various business and
economic uncertainties in relation to the Company's loan portfolio. The changes
in the provision charged to income and the allowance for loan losses reflects
such uncertainties on an ever increasing loan portfolio. There is no assurance
that the Company will not be required to make future adjustments to the
allowance in response to changing economic conditions or regulatory
examinations.

NON-INTEREST INCOME

Non-interest income for the three months ended March 31, 1995 increased $98,000
to $849,000 from $751,000 in the same period of 1994.  The increase in 1995 was

U.S.B. HOLDING CO., INC.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

NON-INTEREST INCOME (Cont'd)

due to losses on loans held for sale in the 1994 period, while a small gain was
recorded in 1995, and an increase in other income, which offset decreases in
gains on securities transactions and service charges and fees.  The relationship
of non-interest income to non-interest expenses remained relatively flat for
each three month period at approximately 20%.

The net loss on securities transactions of $57,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 1995, was a result of transactions that occurred in the quarter to
restructure the securities portfolio by enhancing yield and improving liquidity,
offset by gains on the sale of certain callable securities which would have been
called during 1995.  The $172,000 gain on securities transactions for the three
month period ended March 31, 1994 was primarily comprised of gains from the
January 1994 sale of $4.0 million of mortgage-backed pools originated by the
Banks due to accelerated principal prepayments.

The net gain on loans held for sale in the first quarter of 1995 of $14,000 was
principally due to the sale of $2.7 million of fixed rate residential mortgages,
while the loss of $235,000 that occurred in the first three months of 1994 was
principally related to a write-down of loans held for sale of $261,000.

Service charges decreased $5,000 in the first three months of 1995, compared to
the prior year, as increases which resulted from an increased level of account
activity resulting from a higher deposit base, were offset by higher customer
rebates during the period.

Other income increased $83,000 to $248,000 in the first quarter of 1995,
primarily as a result of higher mortgage servicing income ($23,000) as a
result of increased volume in loans serviced, and increased fee income
($39,000) relating to various services provided by the Banks and commissions
from credit cards.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSES

Non-interest expenses rose to $4,183,000 for the three months ended March 31,
1995, a 13% increase over the comparable period in 1994 of $3,690,000.

Salaries, the largest component of non-interest expense, increased $224,000
to $1.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1995, compared to 1994.  This
increase occurred due to annual merit increases, the opening of the North
White Plains branch in July, 1994 and Ossining branch in January, 1995, and
also additional personnel necessary for the Bank to accommodate the increases
in both deposits and loans and their related services. Full-time equivalent
employees of 195 at March 31, 1995 represented an increase from 188 full-time
equivalent employees at March 31, 1994.

Employee benefits decreased $54,000 to $648,000 for the three month period ended
March 31, 1995, compared to the quarter ended March 31, 1994.  The decrease
occurred primarily because of a reduction in incentive compensation programs
which are based on the Company's net income and overall financial performance
and in 1994, loan related incentives.  In addition, a favorable state
unemployment adjustment occurred during the first quarter of 1995.  These
decreases were offset by higher payroll taxes during the first three months of
1995 due to the higher salaries base.  The changes in the other components of

CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Cont'd)

NON-INTEREST EXPENSES (Cont'd)

non-interest expenses for the three month period ended March 31, 1995 compared
to March 31, 1994 were due to the following:

- -  Increase of $75,000 (11%) in occupancy and equipment cost was due principally
   to increased costs associated with the two branches opened in the third
   quarter of 1994 and January, 1995.

- -  Increase of $54,000 (40%) in advertising and business development because of
   the new branch opening promotions and advertising related to other new
   deposit products such as "liquid gold."

- -  Increase of $37,000 (25%) in professional fees due to loan related
   professional fees associated with loan collections and foreclosures.

- -  Increase of $20,000 (16%) in communication expenses due to an increase
   in postage and telephone expenses that arose as a result of postal volume,
   rates and new branch additions.

- -  Increase of $26,000 (57%) in stationery and printing because of new branches
   and increase in deposit and loan volume.

- -  Increase of $37,000 (14%) in FDIC insurance premiums due to an overall 19%
   increase in deposit levels between March 31, 1995 and 1994.

- -  Increase of $74,000 (23%) in other expense due to foreclosure related
   expenses relating to the loss on a sale of a foreclosed property and expenses
   associated with Royal's credit card program.

INCOME TAXES

The effective tax rates for the three month periods ended March 31, 1995 and
1994 were 29% and 33%, respectively. The variance in the effective tax rate in
1995 was due to the recording of deferred tax benefits in 1995 related to the
allowance for loan losses and the Bank's increased investment in tax-exempt
securities. The Bank utilizes such securities to collateralize municipal
deposits and also take advantage of the tax benefits, which results in a
lowering of the effective tax rate. The purchase of such bonds is currently
limited by the low level of securities in the market place.
