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

1.  PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

    The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of U.S.B. Holding
    Co., Inc. (the "Company"), Union State Bank, (the "Bank"), the Company's
    non-bank subsidiary, Ad Con, Inc., and until December 31, 1995, its 
    wholly-owned subsidiary, Royal Oak Savings Bank, F.S.B. ("Royal").  On 
    December 31, 1995, Royal was sold to Monocacy Bancshares, Inc., parent 
    company of Taneytown Bank & Trust Company, Taneytown, Maryland.

2.  RECLASSIFICATIONS

    Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year accounts to conform
    to the current year's 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, 1996, the results of operations for the three 
    month periods ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, cash flows for the three month
    periods then ended, and changes in stockholders' equity for the three months
    ended March 31, 1996.  A summary of the Company's significant accounting 
    policies is set forth in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements 
    included in the Company's 1995 Annual Report to Shareholders.

4.  ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

    In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement 
    of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123, "Accounting for 
    Stock-Based Compensation."  SFAS No. 123 establishes a fair value based 
    method of accounting for stock-based compensation plans and encourages, but 
    does not require, entities to adopt that method in place of the provisions
    of Accounting Principles Board Opinion ("APB") No. 25, "Accounting for Stock
    Issued to Employees," for all arrangements under which employees receive
    shares of stock or other equity instruments of the employer or the employer
    incurs liabilities to employees in amounts based on the price of the stock.
    SFAS No. 123 also establishes fair value as the measurement basis for
    transactions in which an entity acquires goods or services from
    non-employees in exchange for equity instruments.

    The accounting provisions of SFAS No. 123 are effective for transactions
    entered into after December 15, 1995.  Effective January 1, 1996, the
    Company adopted SFAS No. 123 and has decided that it will continue to
    measure compensation cost for employee stock compensation plans in 
    accordance with the provisions of APB No. 25.

5.  ACCOUNTING FOR MORTGAGE SERVICING RIGHTS

    SFAS No. 122, "Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights," modifies the
    treatment of the capitalization of servicing rights by mortgage banking
    enterprises.  The change eliminates the separate treatment of servicing
    rights acquired through loans originated and those acquired through purchase
    transactions, as previously required under SFAS No. 65, "Accounting for
    Certain Mortgage Banking Activities."  SFAS No. 122 requires mortgage

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (CONT'D)

5.  ACCOUNTING FOR MORTGAGE SERVICING RIGHTS (cont'd)

    servicing rights acquired or originated subsequent to December 31, 1995, to
    be recorded as assets distinct from the loans to which they relate.  SFAS
    No. 122 also requires periodic evaluation of capitalized servicing rights
    for deterioration of value, due to increases in prepayments and other 
    factors. The Company's adoption of SFAS No. 122 as of January 1, 1996 did 
    not have any effect on the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company
    for the quarter ended March 31, 1996.

6.  ACCOUNTING FOR IMPAIRMENT OF A LOAN

    As of January 1, 1995, the Company adopted 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 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.  If the 
    fair value of the impaired loan is less than the related recorded amount, a 
    specific valuation allowance is established or the write-down is charged 
    against the allowance for loan losses if the impairment is considered to be 
    permanent. Small homogeneous loans such as residential mortgage, home 
    equity, and installment loans are not separately reviewed for impaired 
    status.  Such loans are typically collateralized by residential or other 
    personal property and require monthly payments.  Separate allocations to 
    the allowance for loan losses are made based on payment trends and prior 
    loss experience and the composition of credit risk inherent in these loan 
    types.  The impact of adopting these Statements did not have a material 
    effect on the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company.

    At March 31, 1996, the recorded investment in loans that are considered to
    be impaired under SFAS No. 114 approximated $7.2 million ($6.5 million of 
    which were in nonaccrual status).  Each impaired loan has a related 
    allowance for credit losses determined in accordance with SFAS No. 114.
    The total allowance for credit losses related to impaired loans was $856,000
    as of March 31, 1996.  The average recorded investment in impaired loans for
    the quarter ended March 31, 1996 was approximately $5.6 million.  For the
    quarters ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, interest income recognized by the
    Company on impaired loans was not material.

7.  SECURITIES AND LOANS HELD FOR SALE

    The Company accounts for securities under SFAS No. 115, "Accounting for
    Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities."  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, are 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.

7.  SECURITIES AND LOANS HELD FOR SALE (cont'd)

    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 Company does not acquire securities for the purpose of engaging in
    trading activities.

    In December 1995, the Company transferred, at fair value, securities having
    a fair value of $68.8 million (amortized cost of $68.1 million) from its 
    held to maturity security portfolio to its portfolio of available for sale
    securities.  This was done to enhance the Company's ability to respond to
    changes in interest rates.  The securities transferred represent all of the
    readily marketable securities that were previously classified as held to
    maturity, except for obligations of states and political subdivisions.  This
    transfer was made in accordance with the FASB's "A Guide to Implementation
    of Statement 115 on Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
    Securities" issued in November 1995.  Concurrent with the adoption of this
    guidance, corporations were permitted, through December 31, 1995, to
    reclassify their available for sale and held to maturity securities without
    calling into question the past intent of an entity to hold securities to
    maturity.  The effect of this transfer, after tax, was a $.4 million
    increase in shareholders' equity.

    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, 1996, the effect of SFAS No. 115 resulted in a reduction of
    securities available for sale of $560,000 which, after the applicable tax
    effect, resulted in a reduction to stockholders' equity of $323,000,
    representing the unrealized loss.  At December 31, 1995, the effect of SFAS
    No. 115 resulted in an increase of securities available for sale of
    $1,971,000 which, after the applicable tax effect, resulted in an increase
    to stockholders' equity of $1,138,000, representing the net unrealized gain.

    A summary of the amortized cost and fair value of securities and related
    gross unrealized gains and losses at March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995,
    follows:

    During the first quarter of 1996, the Bank transferred residential fixed
    rate real estate loans with an aggregate cost of $2,824,000, which includes
    commitments not yet closed of $1,445,000, representing its entire held for
    sale portfolio, to its held to maturity portfolio.  This transfer resulted
    in a write-down of $78,000, as the loans were transferred at the lower of 
    cost or fair value.  At December 31, 1995, residential fixed rate real 
    estate loans held for sale had a cost of $394,000 and fair value of 
    $393,000.

8.  COMMON STOCK, ADDITIONAL PAID-IN CAPITAL, FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK ADVANCES
    AND NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE DATA

    The Bank had $14.0 million of term advances outstanding with the Federal
    Home Loan Bank of New York ("FHLB") at March 31, 1996.  On February 15, 
    1996, the Bank took a fully amortizing advance of $4.0 million at a fixed
    rate of 5.41 percent for the entire term.  This advance, which matures on 
    March 1, 2001, is subject to a prepayment penalty.  At March 31, 1996 and 
    December 31, 1995, the Bank had a $5.0 million advance from the FHLB with a
    final maturity on November 15, 1999, with options to prepay without penalty 
    in whole or in part semiannually on November 14th and May 14th.  The 
    advance has an interest rate adjusting monthly to 20 basis points over the 
    one month London Inter-Bank Offer Rate ("LIBOR").  The interest rate at 
    March 31, 1996 was 5.58 percent. At March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995, 
    the Bank also had a $5.0 million advance from the FHLB with a final maturity
    of June 22, 1998.  The advance, which is subject to a prepayment penalty, 
    bears interest at 6.20 percent.

    The Bank has pledged under a blanket agreement to the FHLB, a security
    interest in the Bank's holdings of capital stock in the FHLB, certain
    mortgage loans, securities and other assets of the Bank for all FHLB
    outstanding advances.

    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, 1996 and 1995, the weighted average
    dividend rates were 8.4 percent (the minimum rate) for each period.  Net
    income per common share reflects the preferred stock dividends declared and
    accrued totalling $79,000 for each three month period ended March 31, 1996
    and 1995, respectively.  The Company intends to redeem $250,000 of preferred
    stock during the quarter ended June 30, 1996.

    In December 1993, the Company implemented a Dividend Reinvestment Plan
    ("DRIP").  The DRIP 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 
    additional common stock at fair value up to $2,500 per quarter. The DRIP was
    temporarily suspended for dividends paid after January 1, 1996.  As of March
    31, 1996, 200,000 shares of common stock are reserved for issuance in
    connection with the Plan, of which 98,020 shares have been issued.

    On March 3, 1996, the Company issued 8,752 shares of its treasury stock.
    These shares were purchased by the Company's Employee Stock Ownership Plan
    (with Code Section 401(k) Provisions) ("KSOP") and Supplemental Employees'
    Investment Plan ("SEIP") at fair value.

    The Company issued a 10 percent stock dividend to shareholders of record
    June 15, 1995, which was distributed on July 1, 1995.  In addition, the 
    Company declared a 10 percent stock dividend on April 24, 1996 to 
    shareholders of record May 31, 1996, which will be distributed on June 
    14, 1996.  The weighted average shares outstanding and per share amounts 
    have been adjusted to reflect the stock dividend distributed in 1995.

    The Company and the Bank's ability to pay cash dividends in the future are
    restricted by various regulatory requirements.  The Company's ability to pay

8.  COMMON STOCK, ADDITIONAL PAID-IN CAPITAL, FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK ADVANCES
    AND NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE DATA (cont'd)

    cash dividends to its shareholders is primarily dependent upon the receipt
    of dividends from the Bank.  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
    additional paid-in capital.  At March 31, 1996, the Bank could pay dividends
    to the Company of $12.3 million without having to obtain prior regulatory 
    approval.

    Net income per common share is based on net income after preferred stock
    dividend requirements, the weighted average number of common shares
    outstanding and common equivalent shares (for the quarter ended March 31,
    1995, adjusted for the common stock dividend distributed in 1995).  Shares
    granted but not yet issued under the Company's stock option plans are
    considered common stock equivalents for earnings per share calculations.

    In May, 1995, the Company repaid the $1,800,000 of Series "A" subordinated
    notes outstanding that qualified as Tier II capital under risk-based capital
    guidelines.  Interest on the notes was at prime plus one-half percent,
    payable quarterly.  The weighted average interest rate for the three months
    ended March 31, 1995 was 9.33 percent.

9.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

    At March 31, 1996, the Bank was committed under an employment agreement with
    a key officer, director and shareholder requiring annual salary and other
    payments of $370,000, increasing annually by $30,000 during the term of the
    contract, annual stock option grants of 22,000 shares, issued at fair value
    (110 percent of fair value if the key officer's ownership of the Company
    equals or exceeds 10 percent at the date of grant) and other benefits for
    the term of the contract expiring July 1, 1999.

    In the normal course of business, various commitments to extend credit are
    made which are not reflected in the accompanying Consolidated Financial
    Statements.  At March 31, 1996, formal credit line and loan commitments
    which are primarily loans collateralized by real estate approximated $106.5
    million, and outstanding letters of credit totalled $14.0 million.  Such
    amounts represent the maximum risk of loss on these commitments.

    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.  There were no such sales during the quarter ended March 31, 1996.

    At March 31, 1996, the principal balance of the loans sold and exchanged
    with the FHLMC which remain uncollected approximated $88.8 million.  The 
    Bank is committed to service these loans.  At March 31, 1996, the Bank was 
    also committed to service approximately $624,000 of outstanding mortgage
    principal balances relating to the State of New York Mortgage Agency 
    ("SONYMA").  The Bank has recently been notified by SONYMA of its intention 
    to terminate its servicing relationship with the Bank because of the limited
    volume of loans currently being serviced.

    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 Company's consolidated financial position or results
    of operations.

    In connection with its asset and liability management program, during 1994
    the Bank entered into a protected rate agreement ("cap") which has an
    aggregate notional amount of $3.5 million at March 31, 1996.  The premium
    paid in the amount of $85,000 was deferred and is being amortized over the
    five year life of the cap.  Under the terms of the cap, the Bank will be
    reimbursed for increases in one month LIBOR for any month during the term of
    the agreement in which such rate exceeds the "strike level" of 8.1875
    percent.  Interest rate cap agreements allow the Bank to limit its exposure
    to unfavorable interest rate fluctuations over and above the "capped" rate.
    The purchased cap hedges income payments from a mortgage-backed security
    with an interest rate adjusted annually to the one year Treasury rate.  This
    agreement is subject to the counterparty's ability to perform in accordance
    with the terms of the agreement.  The Bank's risk of loss is equal to the
    original premiums paid to enter into this agreement.

CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

FINANCIAL CONDITION

At March 31, 1996, the Company had total assets of $701.2 million, an increase
of 3 percent, or $22.5 million from December 31, 1995.  Total deposits increased
$19.8 million for the three month period ended March 31, 1996, to $630.4
million, which represented a 3 percent increase from December 31, 1995.  Savings
deposits accounted for the greatest increase in deposits, $19.8 million, as the 
Company introduced and promoted a new product, the "Golden Statement" account, 
which replaced the "Liquid Gold" account and accounted for the majority of the
increase in the savings deposit category.  Time deposits increased $15.5 
million overall. Time deposits less than $100,000 increased by $7.6 million, 
primarily due to the promotion of time deposits associated with the Stony Point
branch opening, the Bank's seventeenth branch.  Time deposits greater than 
$100,000 from local municipalities, which are obtained on a bidding basis with 
maturities of 30 to 180 days, increased by $6.6 million, while IRAs/Keoghs 
increased by $4.2 million due to promotions of this product during the first 
quarter of 1996.  These increases in time deposits were offset by a decrease in
retail time deposits greater than $100,000 of $2.9 million.  NOW accounts 
increased by $1.1 million during the first quarter of 1996.  Deposit decreases
occurred in money market deposits ($5.2 million), as customers generally 
switched their balances to higher yielding deposit products, and demand 
deposits ($11.5 million) as seasonal deposits were withdrawn.  The deposit net 
increase was used primarily to fund loans and security purchases under the 
Company's asset/liability policy.

The securities portfolio of $242.5 million and $231.2 million at March 31, 1996
and December 31, 1995, respectively, consists of securities held to maturity at
amortized cost of $58.9 million and $60.3 million, and securities available for
sale at fair market value totalling $183.6 million and $170.9 million,
respectively.

Obligations of U.S. Treasury and other Government agencies increased $18.7
million during the quarter ended March 31, 1996 due primarily to purchases of
$52.6 million, net of sales of $32.0 million and securities called of $.5
million during the quarter.  The U.S. Treasuries were sold to take advantage of
market conditions, while the U.S. Government agencies were sold because of the
expectation that they would be called.  Obligations of other Government agencies
are often used as collateral for the Company's pledging requirements.  Mortgage-
backed securities decreased $2.9 million as principal payments of $3.6 million,
sales of $2.6 million, and amortization and prepayments offset purchases of $4.5
million.  The security transactions that took place during the quarter ended
March 31, 1996, resulted in improved overall earnings of the portfolio, while
maintaining the high quality nature of the portfolio.  The Bank's investment in
obligations of states and political subdivisions decreased by $1.4 million
during the first three months of 1996 due to maturities.  Although the Bank 
still considers such securities as core investments which are high yielding on 
a tax equivalent basis and have diversified final maturities, purchases of these
securities are dependent upon their availability in the marketplace and the
yield of such securities on a tax equivalent basis, compared to other securities
of equivalent credit risk and maturity.  The Bank also continues to maintain
investments in medium-term corporate debt securities and other securities which
are rated investment grade by nationally recognized rating organizations.  For
the quarter ended March 31, 1996, such securities decreased by $3.1 million,
principally due to a sale of $1.0 million of such securities and maturities
during the period.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONT'D)

FINANCIAL CONDITION (cont'd)

The Company continues to exercise its conservative approach to investing by
making high quality investments and controlling interest rate risk by averaging
investments in medium-term maturities.

At March 31, 1996, net loans were $415.2 million, a net increase of $27.8
million or 7 percent over December 31, 1995 due to net increases in all major 
loan categories, particularly commercial mortgages.  Outstanding loan balances
increased $22.2 million in commercial mortgages, $2.7 million in residential
mortgages, $2.1 million in time secured and unsecured loans, and $1.7 million in
credit card balances outstanding relating to the Visa credit card business which
was sold to the Bank by Royal in December 1995.  The Bank had approximately
$106.5 million in formal credit lines and loan commitments outstanding.
Management considers its liquid resources to be adequate to fund future loans in
the foreseeable future, principally by utilizing excess funds temporarily placed
in federal funds sold, increases in deposits and Federal Home Loan Bank
advances, loan repayments and maturing securities.

The Bank has approximately $3.3 million of loans, secured by lease receivables,
to Bennett Funding Group, a lease finance company, which recently filed for
bankruptcy protection.  The Bank does not yet know if any loss will be sustained
on these loans.  However, based upon Bennett's filing, the loans have been
placed on nonaccrual status.  Including the Bennett loans, the Bank's nonaccrual
loans were less than 1.1 percent of total assets at March 31, 1996.

The Bank's allowance for loan losses increased $.4 million or 9 percent to $4.3
million at March 31, 1996, from $3.9 million at December 31, 1995.  The
allowance for loan losses represented 1.03 percent of net loans outstanding at
March 31, 1996, compared to 1.01 percent at December 31, 1995.  The allowance
reflects a provision of $475,000 and net charge-offs of $114,000 recorded thus
far in 1996. Management takes a prudent and cautious position in evaluating 
various business and economic uncertainties in relation to the Bank's loan 
portfolio.  In management's judgment, at March 31, 1996, the allowance is 
considered adequate to absorb potential losses inherent in the credit portfolio.

Stockholders' equity increased to $51.9 million at March 31, 1996, an increase
of $.6 million from the December 31, 1995 balance of $51.3 million.  The net 
income of $2.3 million for the three month period ended March 31, 1996, was 
offset by cash dividends on both preferred stock of $79,000 and common stock of
$420,000. During the first quarter, the Company issued 8,752 shares of treasury 
stock at fair market value in the aggregate amount of $250,000.  Due to market 
conditions that have occurred thus far this year, the effect of SFAS No. 115 for
the three month period ended March 31, 1996, was to decrease stockholders' 
equity, net of tax effect, by $1,461,000.

The Company's leverage ratio at March 31, 1996 was 7.53 percent, compared to
7.67 percent at December 31, 1995, well above the "well-capitalized" level of 5
percent.  The Company's Tier I and total capital ratios under the risk-based
capital guidelines were 11.10 percent and 12.01 percent at March 31, 1996 and
11.37 percent and 12.26 percent at December 31, 1995, respectively, which
remained above the "well-capitalized" levels of 6 percent (Tier I) and 10
percent (Total Capital).

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONT'D)

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

EARNINGS

Net income for the three month period ended March 31, 1996, increased $550,000
or 32 percent to $2.3 million, compared to the same period in 1995.  Net income 
per common and common equivalent share increased to $.74 per share in the first
quarter of 1996 from $.58 per common share recorded in the same period in 1995.
The annualized return on average total assets increased to 1.30 percent for the
three months ended March 31, 1996 from 1.10 percent for the quarter ended March
31, 1995.  A 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, 1996, net interest income increased 
15 percent to $6.8 million, from $5.9 million in the year earlier period.  
Although net interest income increased $892,000 year-to-year due to the volume 
increase of average net earning assets, the net interest spread declined to 3.46
percent in the first quarter of 1996 from 3.57 percent in the three month period
ended March 31, 1995, as a flatter Treasury yield curve in the first quarter of 
1996 impacted the interest rate spread.  The interest spread of 3.46 percent 
during the first quarter of 1996 remained the same as the fourth quarter of 
1995.  Yields on interest earning assets and the cost of funds both decreased
slightly in the first quarter of 1996 compared to the fourth quarter of 1995, 
due to prime rate decreases which occurred during the fourth quarter of 1995 and
first quarter of 1996, and a Federal Reserve discount rate decrease which 
occurred in the first quarter of 1996.  These decreases were somewhat offset by
higher yielding time deposits due to the new Stony Point branch opening 
promotion and an IRA/Keogh promotion during the first quarter of 1996. In 
addition, a new savings product was introduced during the first quarter of 1996
which replaced the "Liquid Gold" product which paid a rate equal to the Federal
Reserve discount rate.  The new product, which has a tiered-rate, paid an 
interest rate for the highest tier ($100,000 and over) which was the same as the
Liquid Gold product during the quarter ended March 31, 1996.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

The provision for loan losses increased $275,000 to $475,000 for the three month
period ended March 31, 1996, compared to the same period in 1995.  Net charge-
offs in the first quarter of 1996 totalled $114,000 relating primarily to real
estate loans, compared to $205,000 of charged-off loans (principally commercial
loans) during the same period in 1995.  Nonaccrual loans increased to $7.2
million at March 31, 1996, from $4.0 million at December 31, 1995 and $6.9
million at March 31, 1995.  The Bank has approximately $3.3 million of loans,
secured by lease receivables, to Bennett Funding Group, a lease finance company,
which recently filed for bankruptcy.  The Bank does not yet know if any loss
will be sustained on these loans.  However, based upon Bennett's filing, the 
loans have been placed on nonaccrual status at March 31, 1996.  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, it 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 and believes
that the allowance for loan losses at March 31, 1996 reflects the risk elements
inherent in the total loan portfolio at this time.  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, 1996 increased $376,000
to $1,225,000 from $849,000 in the same period of 1995.  The increase in 1996
was due to an increase in the gains on securities transactions, which offset
decreases on gains/losses of loans held for sale, service charges and other
income.  The relationship of non-interest income to non-interest expenses
increased to 29 percent for the quarter ended March 31, 1996, compared to 20
percent for the same period in March 1995.

The net gain on securities transactions of $447,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 1996, was a result of activity that occurred during the quarter in
the securities portfolio, which improved the overall earnings of the portfolio
through sales gains and replacement yields, while maintaining high quality
securities.  During the quarter, the Bank sold approximately $36.1 million of
securities, principally callable U.S.  Government agencies ($12.0 million) and
U.S. Treasuries ($20.0 million).  The U.S.  Government agencies were sold
because of the expectation that they would be called this year, while the U.S.
Treasuries were sold to take advantage of market conditions.  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 net loss of $78,000 during the quarter ended March 31, 1996 for loans held
for sale resulted from the write-down of loans previously held for sale which
were transferred to the held to maturity portfolio.  These loans were
transferred at the lower of cost or fair value.  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.

Service charges decreased $23,000 in the first three months of 1996, compared to
the prior year.  Although there were more deposit accounts in the first quarter

of 1996 compared to 1995, lower insufficient funds charges and increased
competition impacted increases in fees.

Other income decreased $13,000 to $235,000 in the first quarter of 1996, due
principally to lower mortgage servicing income ($27,000) as a result of a lower
volume of loans serviced, offsetting higher fee income from the Company's Visa
credit card program ($19,000), which was a start-up program in the first quarter
of 1995.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSES

Non-interest expenses rose $59,000 to $4,242,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 1996, an increase over the comparable period in 1995 of $4,183,000.

Salaries, the largest component of non-interest expense, increased $108,000 to
$1.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1996, compared to 1995.  This
increase occurred due to annual merit increases, the opening of the Stony Point
branch in January 1996, and also additional personnel necessary for the Bank to
accommodate the increases in both deposits and loans and their related services,
which offset the decrease in Royal personnel, as Royal was sold on December 31,
1995.  Full-time equivalent employees of 203 at March 31, 1996 represented an
increase from 195 full-time equivalent employees at March 31, 1995.

Employee benefits increased $140,000 to $788,000 for the three month period
ended March 31, 1996, compared to the quarter ended March 31, 1995.  The change
occurred primarily because of an increase in incentive compensation programs
which are based upon the Company's net income and overall financial performance,
higher payroll taxes during 1996 due to the higher salary base and increases in
other employee benefit programs such as medical, tuition and training.

The changes in the other components of non-interest expenses for the three month
period ended March 31, 1996 compared to March 31, 1995, were due to the
following:

*  Increase of $56,000 (7%) in occupancy and equipment cost was due principally
   to increased costs associated with the branch opened in January, 1996,
   maintenance expenses associated with the severe winter of 1996, and an
   increase in maintenance contracts relating to the Bank's branch and computer
   related equipment.

*  Increase of $40,000 (21%) in advertising and business development because of
   the new branch opening promotions and advertising related to other new
   deposit products such as IRAs/Keoghs and "Golden Statement" savings account.

*  Increase of $38,000 (21%) in professional fees due to legal fees primarily
   associated with loan collections and foreclosures, examination fees for the
   New York State Department of Banking examination scheduled for 1996 and other
   litigation costs.

CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONT'D)

NON-INTEREST EXPENSES (Con't)

*  Increase of $12,000 (8%) in communication expenses due to an increase in
   postage and telephone expenses that arose as a result of postal volume, new
   branch addition and transfer of credit card operations from Maryland to New
   York.

*  Increase of $19,000 (26%) in stationery and printing because of the new
   branch and increase in deposit and loan volume.

*  Decrease of $302,000 (100%) in FDIC insurance premiums as the Bank Insurance
   Fund reached its required level of 1.25 percent of insured deposits in 1995,
   causing the reduction in annual FDIC premium for the Bank to $2,000 in 1996.

*  Decrease of $52,000 (13%) in other expense due to a reduction in foreclosure
   related expenses, lower amortization of intangible assets due to intangible
   assets becoming fully amortized in 1995, lower insurance expense due to a
   refund received in 1996, offset by an increase in credit card expenses in
   1996 due to the growth of the program.

INCOME TAXES

The effective tax rates for the three month periods ended March 31, 1996 and
1995 were 33 percent and 29 percent, respectively.  The increase in the overall
effective tax rate in 1996 reflects a lower percent of non-taxable security
income due to maturities of these securities during 1995.  The purchases of
these securities are dependent upon their availability in the marketplace and 
the yield of such securities on a tax equivalent basis, compared to other 
securities of equivalent credit risks and maturity.
