                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                                      OF
                             RESULTS IN OPERATIONS

 Six Months Ended June 30, 1999

   The Company had a net loss of $454,000 for the first six months of 1999
as compared to net loss of $852,000 for the comparable period of 1998. The
decrease in the net loss is primarily a result of the gain realized on the
sale of the investment securities classified available for sale totaling
approximately $553,000.

   The Company had $242,194,000 in total loans at June 30, 1999 as compared to
$289,582,000 in total loans at June 30, 1998. The 16.4% decrease in total loans
for the first six months of 1999 is a result of the Company's tightening of
credit standards and the continued implementation of its revised loan policy
with its stricter underwriting guidelines.

   The Company had interest income from its loans and investment securities of
$14,499,000 for the first six month period ended June 30, 1999 as compared to
$17,264,000 for the comparable period in 1998. This 19.1% decrease in interest
income is primarily attributable to the $47,388,000 decrease in loans at the
Company. As a result of fewer loans booked at the Company, its net interest
income fell 33.7% from $8,109,000 for the first six months of 1998 to
$6,064,000 for the comparable period in 1999.

   The Company's non-interest income held steady for the first six months of
1999 with the Company earning $1,721,000 as compared to $1,739,000 during the
first six months of 1998.

   The Company's non-interest expense increased for the first six months of
1999 with the Company expensing $7,534,000 as compared to $7,166,000 during
the first six months of 1998. This increase was primarily a result of a
$303,000 increase in legal and professional fees incurred due to problem
assets in the first six months of 1999 as compared to the comparable period
in 1998.

   The Company had $419,109,000 in total deposits for the first six months
of 1999 as compared to $438,956,000 for the first six months of 1998. This
4.7% decrease is primarily a result of the deposit run-off experienced by the
Company after it lowered the interest rates it paid on deposits in the second
quarter of 1999.

   The increase in the Company's Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses of
$2,128,000 from $7,054,000 as of June 30, 1998 to $9,182,000 as of June 30,
1999 was a result of the $9,476,000 (108.8%) increase in non-performing loans
experienced by the Company in the first six months 1999 as compared to the
first six months of 1998. The increase in the amount of loans on non-performing
status is a result of the Company's internal loan review of its commercial
portfolio and the classifications resulting therefrom.

Year 2000


    In the past, many computer systems were designed only to recognize
a six-digit date structure (i.e. two digits for each of the month, day, and
year). Many of these programs and systems may not be able to interpret and
process accurately a six-digit date ending with "00". To the extent these
systems are unable to process into the year 2000, inaccurate results may
be produced.

    The Company utilizes computer hardware and software programs to conduct
and support its ongoing operations. Management implemented a plan (the
"Plan") in January 1997 to address the Company's Year 2000 situation. To
implement the Plan, management established a task force responsible for
overseeing the implementation of the Plan to completion. The Plan includes
the estimated costs of repairing or replacing computer systems or software
as necessary and is expected to cost between approximately $1.5 million
and $2.0 million. To date, the Company has expended approximately $1.8 million
to effectuate the Plan.

    The Plan is comprised of several phases. The first phase involved
the assessment of the Company's current systems and vendors to determine
their Y2K compliance. The Company reviewed all of its software vendors,
both banking specific and general software applications; hardware vendors;
Trust Department vendors; third party service providers; and infrastructure
issues. During this evaluation, the Company made the determination of what
systems needed to be updated or replaced.

    After the completion of this assessment, the Company began the upgrade or
replacement of any systems that were identified as non-Y2K compliant in
the assessment phase. This included the replacement of the Company's core
accounting system hardware and software. The Company formed a committee to
monitor this process. The conversion was completed by the end of the third
quarter of 1998. The Company also performed several other replacements and
upgrades to ensure year 2000 compliance. These upgrades have been completed.

    The Company has completed the validation phase of the project. The Company
prioritized its systems based on the critical nature of each. Those
of higher priorities were tested and the results reviewed for accuracy.
A Y2K Test Committee was formed to complete this phase of the project.
This committee consisted of members of the Company's management representing
the various departments of the Company. The testing of internal applications
was completed by March 31, 1999. The testing of external vendor
relationships was completed by June 30, 1999.

    Although the Company has developed and is implementing its Plan to
address the Year 2000 issue, no assurances can be made that the Plan will
be fully implemented within the estimated timeframe and cost; nor can any
assurances be given, regardless of whether the Plan is fully and timely
implemented, that the efforts of the Company will be, either partially or
wholly, successful. Much of the Company's success in implementing its Plan
will rely on third parties who are beyond the Company's control. The complete
failure of the Company's Plan to address the Year 2000 situation may have a
material adverse effect on the operations of the Company. As of June 30,
1999, the Company is uncertain of the magnitude of the impact the Year 2000
issue will have on its operations. Management has prepared contingency
plans to address the partial or complete failure of the Plan, and/or the
failure of third parties with whom the Company does business to address
timely and successfully the Year 2000 issue. These contingency plans were
completed by June 30, 1999.

Recent Developments

   On June 28,1999, the Company entered into a merger agreement with Hudson
United Bancorp in Mahwah, New Jersey. The merger terms provide for the
Conversion of each share of Company common stock into 1.26 shares of Hudson
United common stock. This Merger is expected to be completed by the fourth
quarter of 1999.

The foregoing discussion contains forward-looking statements that
involve risks and uncertainties. The Company's actual results could differ
materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements
as a result of certain factors, including the performance of the Company's
marine loan portfolio, the commercial and industrial loans and the banking
industry performance in general.
