Report of Independent Certified Public Accountants
Board of Directors
First Colonial Group, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of First
Colonial Group, Inc. as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the related
consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders' equity and cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31,1 996. 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 audit provides 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 First Colonial
Group, Inc. as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the consolidated results of
their operations and their consolidated cash flows for each of the three years
in the period ended December 31, 1996 in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.
