               NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                  (Unaudited)

NOTE A  -  GENERAL

1.  Interim Financial Statements

The accompanying  financial statements,  footnotes and discussion should be read
in conjunction with the audited financial statements,  footnotes, and discussion
contained in the Company's Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 1995.

The financial information presented herein is unaudited; however, in the opinion
of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments)
necessary to present fairly the unaudited financial  information have been made.
The  results  for the three  months  ended  March 31,  1996 are not  necessarily
indicative  of results  to be  expected  for the full year or any other  interim
period.

2.  Mortgage Servicing Rights

Effective  January 1, 1996, the Company  adopted SFAS No. 122,  "Accounting  for
Mortgage  Servicing  Rights".  The  adoption  of this  statement  did not have a
material  effect on the  financial  positions  at March 31,  1996 or  results of
operations of the Company for the three month period then ended.

NOTE B  -  CASH DIVIDENDS

On February  22, 1996 the Company  paid its 1996 first  quarter  dividend on its
common stock of $.17 per share to shareholders of record on February 8, 1996.

NOTE C  -  IMPAIRED LOANS

On  January  1, 1995 the  Company  adopted  Statement  of  Financial  Accounting
Standards  (SFAS) No. 114,  "Accounting for Creditors for Impairment of a Loan",
as amended by SFAS No. 118,  "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan -
Income  Recognition  and  Disclosures".  SFAS No. 114  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 loans' observable market
price, or the fair value of the collecteral 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.  SFAS No. 118 allows  creditors to use existing methods
for recognizing interest income on impaired loans.

The Company has  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  agreement.  The accrual of interest is  discontinued  on such loans and no
income is  recognized  until all recorded  amounts of interest and principal are
recovered in full.

<PAGE>

Loan  impairment  is measured by estimating  the expected  future cash flows and
discounting  them at the  respective  effective  interest rate or by valuing the
underlying collateral.  The recorded investment in these loans and the valuation
for credit loses related to loan impairment are as follows:

        Valuation allowance at March 31, 1996   $  290,000

</TABLE>

Total cash  collected on impaired  loans during the quarter ended March 31, 1996
was  $126,000,   of  which  $114,000  was  credited  to  the  principal  balance
outstanding  on such  loans and  $12,000  was  recognized  as  interest  income.
Interest  that would have been accrued on impaired  loans during the quarter was
$64,000.  Interest  income  recognized  during the quarter was  $5,579,000.  The
valuation allowance for impaired loans of $290,000 at March 31, 1996 is included
in the "Allowance for Possible Loan Losses" which amounts to $2,387,000 at March
31, 1996.  The  provision  for loan  impairment  of $105,000 for the three month
period ended March 31, 1996 is the "Provision for Possible Loan Losses" included
in the "Consolidated Statement of Income" for the same period.

                  FIRST COLONIAL GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                    Management's Discussion and Analysis of
                 Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following  financial  review and analysis is of the financial  condition and
earnings  performance of the Company and its wholly owned  subsidiaries  for the
three month period ended March 31, 1996.

     Liquidity  and Capital  Resources  Liquidity is a measure of the  Company's
ability to raise funds to support  asset  growth,  meet deposit  withdrawal  and
other borrowing needs,  maintain reserve  requirements and otherwise operate the
Company on an ongoing basis.  The Company  manages its assets and liabilities to
maintain  liquidity and earnings  stability.  Among the sources of liquidity are
money market investments, securities available-for-sale, funds received from the
repayment of loans,  short-term  borrowings and borrowings from the Federal Home
Loan Bank.  At March 31,  1996,  cash,  due from banks,  Federal  Funds Sold and
interest  bearing  deposits  with  banks  totaled  $10,649,000,  and  securities
maturing  within one year totaled  $5,570,000.  At December 31, 1995,  cash, due
from banks, Federal funds sold and interest bearing deposits with banks, totaled
$16,384,000, and securities maturing within one year were $4,955,000. Securities
sold under an agreement to repurchase  totaled  $2,519,000 at March 31, 1996 and
$6,096,000  at December 31, 1995.  The Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan
Bank of Pittsburgh. The Bank had interest bearing demand deposits at the Federal
Home Loan Bank of  Pittsburgh  in the amount of  $11,000  at March 31,  1996 and
$538,000 at December 31, 1995.  These deposits are included in due from banks on
the  Company's  financial  statements.  As a result  of this  relationship,  the
Company  places most of its  short-term  funds at the Federal  Home Loan Bank of
Pittsburgh.  There were no Federal funds sold at March 31, 1996. At December 31,
1995, Federal funds sold totaled $3,600,000.

     The Federal Home Loan Bank of  Pittsburgh  provides the Bank with a line of
credit in the amount of  $12,148,000,  all of which was  available  at March 31,
1996,  subject  to  certain  collateral  requirements.  The Bank had  short-term
(overnight) borrowings against this line of $575,000 at March 31, 1996. The Bank
had no  short-term  (overnight)  borrowings  at December 31, 1995.  The Bank had
additional  short-term  borrowings  from the Federal Home Loan Bank at March 31,
1996  totaling  $7,000,000  of  which  $3,000,000  is due  in  August  1996  and
$4,000,000 is due in October 1996.

<PAGE>

     Cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 1996 consisted of cash used
in operating  activities of $1,894,000 and cash used in investing  activities of
$4,116,000,  offset in part by cash  provided by financing  activities  $802,000
resulting in a decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $5,208,000.

     Cash  used  in  operating  activities  was the  result  of  mortgage  loans
originated for sale of $3,080,000,  an increase in other assets of $417,000, and
decreases in accrued  interest  payable and accrued  interest income of $315,000
and  $324,000,  respectively,  partially  reduced  by net  operating  income  of
$615,000,  mortgage loan sales of $1,332,000,  depreciation  and amortization of
$176,000,  increases  in other  liabilities  of  $121,000  and a  provision  for
possible loan losses of $105,000.  Cash was used in investing activities for the
purchase of securities  available-for-sale  and  held-to-maturity of $13,063,000
and $998,000,  respectively,  net increase in loans to customers of $653,000 and
the net purchase of premises and equipment of $235,000,  partially offset by the
proceeds  from  maturities  of  available-for-sale   securities  of  $5,831,000,
proceeds  from the sales of  available-for-sale  securities  of  $2,698,000  and
proceeds from  maturities of  held-to-maturity  securities of  $1,621,000.  Cash
provided by financing activities consisted  principally of increases in interest
and  non-interest  bearing demand  deposits and savings  accounts of $2,473,000,
increases in  certificates of deposits of $1,521,000 and increases in short-term
(overnight)  borrowings  of $575,000  offset in part by a decrease in repurchase
agreements of  $3,577,000  and the payment of cash  dividends of $245,000.  Also
affecting  financing  activities  was the issuance of 3,028 new shares of common
stock pursuant to the Dividend Reinvestment Plan for proceeds of $55,000.

     The Company  recognizes  the  importance of  maintaining  adequate  capital
levels to support  sound,  profitable  growth  and to  encourage  depositor  and
investor  confidence.  Shareholders' equity at March 31, 1996 was $24,823,000 as
compared to  $24,767,000  at December  31,  1995,  for an increase of $56,000 or
0.2%. This increase was attributable to a $370,000 increase in retained earnings
during  the  first  three  months  of 1996 as a result  of  operating  income of
$615,000 less the payment of a cash  dividend of $245,000.  Proceeds of the sale
of common stock to the Dividend Reinvestment Plan of $55,000, a reduction in the
unrealized gain of securities  available-for-sale  of $448,000 due to a decrease
in  the  fair  value  of  these   securities   (see  discussion  on  "Investment
Securities"),  and a  reduction  of  $79,000 of debt  related  to the  Company's
Employee Stock Ownership Plan contributed to the change in shareholder equity.

     The Company  maintains a Dividend  Reinvestment  and Stock  Purchase  Plan.
During  the first  three  months of 1996,  3,028  shares  of common  stock  were
purchased from  authorized and unissued shares at an average price of $18.29 per
share for proceeds of approximately $55,000.

     Banking  regulators  require bank holding  companies  and banks to maintain
certain capital levels,  through  risk-based capital standards by which all bank
holding  companies and banks are evaluated in terms of capital  adequacy.  These
guidelines relate a banking company's capital to the risk profile of its assets.

<PAGE>

The risk-based  capital standards require all banks to have Tier 1 capital of at
least 4% and total capital,  Tier 1 and Tier 2, of 8% of  risk-adjusted  assets.
Tier 1  capital  includes  common  shareholders'  equity,  qualifying  perpetual
preferred stock together with related  surpluses and retained  earnings.  Tier 2
capital may be  comprised  of limited  life  preferred  stock,  qualifying  debt
instruments, and the allowance for possible loan losses.

     Banking  regulators  also  require  bank  holding  companies  and  banks to
maintain a certain Tier 1 leverage  ratio.  The leverage  ratio  requirement  is
measured as the ratio of Tier 1 capital to adjusted  average assets.  The tables
below provide a comparison of the Company's and Bank's risk-based capital ratios
and  leverage  ratio  to the  minimum  regulatory  guidelines  for  the  periods
indicated.

     The Company is not aware of any trends,  events or uncertainties  that will
have a  material  effect  on  the  Company's  liquidity,  capital  resources  or
operations,   except  for  higher  interest  rates  which  could  cause  deposit
disintermediation  and an increase in interest  expense and the  possibility  of
inflationary trends, the results of which cannot be determined at this time. The
Company is not under any agreement  with the  regulatory  authorities  nor is it
aware of any current  recommendation  by regulatory  authorities  which, if they
were implemented,  would have a material effect on liquidity, capital resources,

     Assets and  Liabilities  

     Total assets at March 31, 1996 were $299,059,000,  representing an increase
of 0.2% over  total  assets of  $298,514,000  at  December  31,  1995.  Deposits
increased  by  $3,994,000  or 1.6% from  $254,102,000  on  December  31, 1995 to
$258,096,000 on March 31, 1996.  Contributing to this increase were increases in
non-interest  bearing checking deposits of $1,251,000,  savings and money market
deposits of $1,799,000 and in  certificates  of deposit of $1,522,000  partially
offset by a decrease in interest- bearing checking  deposits of $578,000.  Loans
outstanding at March 31, 1996 were  $193,487,000  as compared to $193,130,000 at
December 31, 1995.  This is an increase of $357,000 or 0.2%. The growth in loans
was primarily the result of an increase of $672,000 or 0.9% in residential  real
estate  loans and  $219,000  or 0.4% in  consumer  loans  partially  offset by a
decline of $534,000 or 0.8% in commercial loans during the first three months of
1996.  During the first quarter of 1996,  $1,332,000 of residential  real estate
loans were sold.  The amount of these sold loans  originated  in the first three
months of 1996 was $326,000 with the remaining  $1,006,000  being  originated in
1995. The Bank continues to service all of these loans. There were $2,754,000 of
residential real estate loans identified as held-for-sale at March 31, 1996. The
loan to  deposit  ratio was 75.0% at March 31,  1996 and 76.0% at  December  31,
1995.

     Premises and equipment increased by $63,000 to $6,826,000 at March 31, 1996
from  $6,763,000 at December 31, 1995. This increase was primarily the result of
the purchase of furniture and equipment.

     The  Company  had  long-term  debt  totaling  $564,000 at March 31, 1996 as
compared to $643,000 at December 31, 1995.

     At March 31, 1996 the Bank had total short-term borrowings from the Federal
Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh of $7,575,000 as compared to $7,000,000 at December
31, 1995.  Included in this amount was  overnight  borrowings  against a line of
credit of  $29,426,000  of $575,000 at March 31,  1996.  There were no overnight
borrowings  outstanding  at  December  31,  1995.  In  addition,  the  Bank  had
outstanding  borrowings  of  $7,000,000  from  the  Federal  Home  Loan  Bank of
Pittsburgh  at March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995.  Of this amount  $4,000,000
matures in October 1996 and the remaining $3,000,000 matures in August 1996. The
interest  rate on these loans is based on LIBOR plus 2 basis  points  (currently
5.50% and 5.32%,  respectively) and changes quarterly.  The loans are secured by
the Bank's  investment and residential  real estate loans and securities.  These
funds were borrowed to improve liquidity and to fund loans.

Results of Operations

     Net income for the three months ended March 31, 1996 was $615,000  compared
to a net loss of $663,000 for the same period in 1995. The earnings  improvement
is primarily  attributable  to a reduction in the provision  for possible  loans

<PAGE>

losses of  $1,665,000  to $105,000 for the first  quarter of 1996 as compared to
$1,770,000  for the  first  quarter  of  1995.  The  higher  amount  in 1995 was
attributable  to an additional  provision for possible loan losses as the result
of checking account  overdrafts of a certain customer.  The Company continues to
aggressively  seek the return of these funds,  although no assurance can be made
that any recovery  will be obtained or the amount of any such  recovery.  During
the first  quarter of 1996,  net interest  income  increased  $61,000 or 1.9% as
compared to March 31, 1995. Also affecting  earnings was a $153,000  increase in
total other income exclusive of security gains of $150,000,  a decrease in total
other  expenses of $35,000 and Federal  income  taxes of $857,000  for the first
quarter of 1996 compared to a credit of $1,057,000 in the first quarter of 1995.

     Per share  earnings for the three months ended March 31, 1996 was $.43. The
loss per share  for the first  three  months  of 1995 was $.46.  Average  shares
outstanding  during this three month period were 1,444,617 in 1996 and 1,424,170
in 1995.

     Net  Interest 

     Income Net interest income is the difference between the interest earned on
loans, other investments and other interest earning assets and the interest paid
on deposits and other  interest  bearing  liabilities.  The net interest  income
amounted to $3,235,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1996, as compared to
$3,174,000  for the three months ended March 31, 1995, an increase of $61,000 or
1.9%.  During the three month  period  ended  March 31,  1996,  interest  income
increased  $338,000 or 6.4% and interest expense  increased by $277,000 or 13.4%
over the same period in 1995.  The increase in interest  expense was due in part
to growth in certificates of deposits.

     This increase in net interest  income during this three month period is due
in part to the  increase  in  interest  rates on loans  being  greater  than the
increase in interest  paid on  deposits  as a result of rising  interest  rates.
Interest earning assets,  including loans were $279,004,000 at March 31, 1996 as
compared to  $272,464,000  at March 31,  1995.  This  represents  an increase of
$6,540,000 or 2.4%.

     Other  Income and Other  Expenses

     Other income for the three months  ended March 31, 1996  including  service
charges, trust fees, gains on the sale of mortgage loans and other miscellaneous
income, but exclusive of securities gains or losses, was $555,000 as compared to
$553,000 for the same period in 1995. This was an increase of $2,000 or 0.4%. In
the three month  period ended March 31, 1996 service  charges were  $244,000,  a
$1,000 or 0.4%  increase  over the 1995  amount of  $243,000.  The  increase  in
service  charge  income is the  result of  increases  in deposit  accounts.  The
revenues from the Trust Department operations were $174,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 1996 as compared to $160,000  for the three  months  ended March
31, 1995, an increase of $14,000 or 8.7%. The gain on the sale of mortgage loans
amounted to $6,000 for each of the three month periods ending March 31, 1996 and
1995.  Other  operating  income for the three  months  ended  March 31, 1996 was
$131,000  as compared  to  $144,000  for the same  period in 1995,  a decline of
$13,000 or 9.0%.

<PAGE>

     Other  expenses  for the three  months  ended March 31, 1996  decreased  by
$35,000 or 1.2%,  to  $2,954,000  from  $2,989,000  for the same period in 1995.
Salaries and employee  benefits were $1,414,000 for the three months ended March
31, 1995 as compared to  $1,293,000  for the three  months  ended March 31, 1995
representing an increase of $121,000 or 9.4%.  These increases are primarily due
to the  additional  staff  as a result  of the  opening  of the new  Northampton
Crossings branch in December 1995, and general salary increases of approximately
4%.  Occupancy and  equipment  expenses were $545,000 for the three months ended
March 31,  1996 and  $462,000  for the three  months  ended March 31,  1995,  an
increase of $83,000 or 18.0%. Most of this increase was due to increases in rent
and  maintenance  expenses  related to the new branch  and  expenses  related to
winter storms during the first quarter of 1996. Other operating expenses for the
three months ended March 31, 1996 were  $995,000 in relation to  $1,234,000  for
the three  months  ended March 31,  1995,  a decrease of $239,000 or 19.4%.  The
lower 1995 expenses were the result of a reduction in Federal Deposit  Insurance
premiums and lower legal fees.

     Investment  Securities 

     The  Company  classifies  its debt and  marketable  securities  into  three
categories: trading, available-for-sale, and held-to-maturity as provided by the
Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in
Debt and Equity Securities".  The Company had no trading securities at March 31,
1996 and December 31, 1995.

     Available-for-sale  securities  are  carried  at fair  value  with  the net
unrealized  gains or losses  reported in equity.  The Company had $63,024,000 in
available-for-sale  securities at March 31, 1996 with a net  unrealized  gain of
$72,000.  At  December  31,  1995  available-for-sale   securities  amounted  to
$59,049,000 with a net unrealized gain of $520,000.

     During the three month period ended March 31, 1996 $2,698,000 of securities
available-for-sale  were  sold  for  a net  gain  of  $126,000  as  compared  to
$2,034,000 of securities  available-for-sale were sold for a net loss of $24,000
for the same time period in 1995.

     Held-to-maturity  totaling  $19,431,000  at March 31,  1996 are  carried at
cost. At December 31, 1995 the held-to-maturity  securities totaled $20,054,000.
The Company has the intent and ability to hold the  held-to-maturity  securities
until  maturity.  The Company,  at March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995, did not
hold any securities  identified as  derivatives.  At March 31, 1996 and December
31, 1995 the Company did hold $4,500,000 and $8,000,000, respectively in various
U.  S.   Agency   Step-up   or   Multi   Step-up   securities   ($2,000,000   in
available-for-sale and $2,500,000 in held-to-maturity at March 31, 1996).

     Allowance  and  Provision  for Possible  Loan Losses 

     The  provision  for loan losses for the three month  period ended March 31,
1996 was $105,000  compared to a provision of $1,770,000  for the same period in
1995.  The decrease in the provision for loan losses was primarily the result of

<PAGE>

an additional  provision for possible loan losses of $1,550,000 taken during the
first three  months of 1995 as the result of checking  account  overdrafts  of a
certain customer.  Net loan losses were $161,000 and $99,000 for the three month
period ending March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  The allowance for possible
loan losses at March 31, 1996 totaled $2,387,000, a decrease of $56,000 over the
December 31, 1995 amount of  $2,443,000.  The allowance for possible loan losses
as a percentage of total loans  outstanding as of March 31, 1996 was 1.23%. This
compares to 1.26% at December 31, 1995.  As provided by SFAS No. 114, as amended
by SFAS No. 118, $290,000 of the Allowance for Possible Loan Losses is allocated
to impaired loans at March 31, 1996 (see Note C" Impaired Loans").

     Non-Performing  Loans  

     The following  discussion relates to the Bank's  non-performing loans which
consist of those on a  non-accrual  basis and accruing  loans which are past due
ninety days or more.

     Accrual of interest is  discontinued  on a loan when  management  believes,
after considering  economic and business  conditions and collection effort, that
the  borrower's  financial  condition is such that the collection of interest is
doubtful.  The Company  views  these loans as  non-accrual,  but  considers  the
principal to be  substantially  collectible  because the loans are  protected by
adequate  collateral or other  resources.  Interest on these loans is recognized
only when  received.  The  following  table shows the balance of  non-performing
loans for each of the periods indicated.

     There are no significant loans classified for regulatory purposes that have
not been included in the above table of non-performing loans. The Company has no
significant  loans that qualify as "Troubled Debt  Restructuring"  as defined by
The Financial Accounting Standards Board's Statement of Financial Accounting No.
