Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Three Months Ended March 31, 1998
(Unaudited)
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Financial Statement Presentation:
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles. In preparing the financial statements,
management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet
and revenue and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ
significantly from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly
susceptible to significant change in the near-term relate to the determination
of the allowance for loan losses and the valuation reserve of real estate
acquired in connection with foreclosures or in satisfaction of loans. In
connection with the determination of the allowance for loan losses and other
real estate, management obtains independent appraisals for significant
properties.
The consolidated financial data as of and for the three months ended March 31,
1998 includes, in the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of only
normal recurring accruals necessary for a fair presentation of such periods. The
consolidated financial data for the interim periods presented is not necessarily
indicative of the result of operations that might be expected for the entire
year ending December 31, 1998.
Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Yardville National
Bancorp (the "Company")and its subsidiaries, Yardville Capital Trust (the
"Trust") and Yardville National Bank (the "Bank") and the Bank's wholly owned
subsidiaries, Yardville National Investment Corporation, Brendan Inc., Nancy
Beth Inc., and Yardville Real Estate Corporation (collectively "YNB"). All
significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Brendan Inc. and Nancy Beth Inc. are utilized for the control and disposal of
other real estate properties. Yardville Real Estate Corporation is utilized to
hold Bank branch properties.
Allowance for Loan Losses
For financial reporting purposes, the provision for loan losses charged to
operating expense is determined by management and based upon a periodic review
of the loan portfolio, past experience, the economy, and other factors that may
affect a borrower's ability to repay the loan. This provision is based on
management's estimates, and actual losses may vary from these estimates. These
estimates are reviewed and adjustments, as they become necessary, are reported
in the periods in which they become known. Management believes that the
allowance for loan losses is adequate. While management uses available
information to recognize losses on loans, future additions to the allowance may
6
<PAGE>
be necessary based on changes in economic conditions, particularly in New
Jersey. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their
examination process periodically review the Bank's allowance for loan losses and
the valuation of other real estate. Such agencies may require the Bank to
recognize additions to the allowance or adjustments to the carrying value of
other real estate based on their judgement about information available at the
time of their examination.
2. Earnings Per Share
Weighted average shares for the basic net income per share calculation for the
three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997 were 5,073,000 and 5,000,000
respectively. For the diluted net income per share computation common stock
equivalents of 44,000 and 80,000 are included for the three months ended March
31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
3. Recently Issued Accounting Standards
SFAS No. 130
FASB Statement No. 130 "Reporting Comprehensive Income" (Statement 130)
establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income and its
components (revenue, expenses, gains and losses) in a full set of
general-purpose financial statements. Statement 130 requires that all items that
are required to be recognized under accounting standards as components of
comprehensive income be reported in a financial statement that is displayed with
the same prominence as other financial statements. Statement 130 does not
require a specific format for that financial statement but requires that an
enterprise display an amount representing total comprehensive income for the
period in that financial statement.
Statement 130 requires an enterprise to (a) classify items of other
comprehensive income by their nature in a financial statement and (b) display
the accumulated balance of other comprehensive income separately from retained
earnings and additional paid-in capital in the equity section of a statement of
financial position. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 1997. Reclassification of financial statements for earlier periods
provided for comparative purposes are required. YNB adopted Statement No. 130 on
January 1, 1998 and the disclosure is contained in the table below.

SFAS No. 132
In February 1998, the FASB issued SAS No. 132 "Employer Disclosures about
Pensions and Other Post Retirement Benefits." This statement standardizes the
disclosure requirements for pensions and other postretirement benefits by
requiring additional information that will facilitate financial analysis and
eliminating certain disclosures that are considered no longer useful. SFAS No.
132 supersedes the disclosure requirements in SFAS Nos. 87, 88 and 106. This
statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997.
Restatement of disclosure for earlier periods provided for comparative purposes
are required unless information is not readily available.

Item 2: Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
This financial review presents management's discussion and analysis of the
financial condition and results of operation. It should be read in conjunction
with the Company's 1997 Annual Report to stockholders and Annual Report on Form
10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1997 as well as with the unaudited
consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes.
This Form 10-Q report contains express and implied statements relating to the
future financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives,
performance, and business of YNB, which are considered forward-looking
statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995. These include statements that relate to, among other things,
profitability, liquidity, loan loss reserve adequacy, plans for growth, interest
rate sensitivity, market risk, and year 2000 issues. Actual results may differ
materially from those expected or implied as a result of certain risks and
uncertainties, including, but not limited to, changes in economic conditions,
interest rate fluctuations, continued levels of loan quality and origination
volume, successful implementation of year 2000 technology changes by YNB, its
vendors and suppliers, competitive product and pricing pressures within YNB's
markets, continued relationships with major customers including sources for
loans and deposits, personal and corporate customers' bankruptcies, legal and
regulatory barriers and structure, inflation, and technological changes, as well
as other risks and uncertainties detailed from time to time in the filings of
YNB with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

<PAGE>
Assets
Total consolidated assets at March 31, 1998 totaled $655,092,000 an increase of
$40,406,000 or 6.6% compared to $614,686,000 at December 31, 1997. The growth in
YNB's asset base during the first three months of 1998 was primarily due to
increases in loans and Federal funds sold. YNB's commercial loan portfolio
continued to expand during this time period. The increase in the loan portfolio
was the product of an ongoing consistent strategy to improve the profitability
of the organization through relationship banking. In the last quarter of 1997
$7,500,000 was contributed to the Bank as a result of YNB's Trust Preferred
Securities Offering. The increase in the Bank's legal lending limit allows
management to establish larger loan relationships. The pace of consolidation in
YNB's market place continues at a rapid rate. Management anticipates continued
loan opportunities due to this consolidation. YNB's asset base includes
investments of approximately $111,200,000 purchased utilizing primarily
repurchase agreements (Investment Growth Strategy). The Investment Growth
Strategy at March 31, 1998 increased $3,000,000 from the reported total of
$108,200,000 at December 31, 1997. The primary goals of the Investment Growth
Strategy of improving return on equity and earnings per share continue to be
achieved.
Securities
Total securities decreased by $9,207,000 at March 31, 1998 to $177,429,000
compared to $186,636,000 at year-end 1997.
Securities available for sale decreased $8,394,000 or 5.3% at March 31, 1998
when compared to the December 31, 1997 balance of $159,724,000. The decrease was
primarily caused by selected sales of securities that either due to their small
size, prepayment outlook, or risk profile no longer was a benefit to YNB. A
secondary factor in the declining available for sale portfolio was increased
prepayment speeds on both fixed and floating rate mortgage related securities.
Management anticipates increased principal paydowns in its mortgage-related
securities in the second quarter and throughout the year if interest rates
continue to fall. Conversely, the Investment Growth Strategy was increased by
$3,000,000 in the first quarter. The available for sale portfolio represents
85.3% of the total investment holdings of YNB. Unpledged available for sale
securities represent a secondary source of liquidity for YNB.
The net unrealized loss on available for sale securities as of March 31, 1998
was $192,000. Net unrealized losses, net of tax effect, totaling $125,000 were
reported as a component of Stockholders' Equity at March 31, 1998.
Federal Funds Sold
At March 31, 1998 Federal funds sold totaled $16,998,000 compared to $1,500,000
at December 31, 1997. Average Federal funds sold for the first three months was
$4,992,000. The Federal funds sold levels experienced at quarter end were due to
increased certificate of deposit (CD) balances and, to a lesser extent,
decreases in the investment portfolio. Management remains focused on maintaining
adequate liquidity to fund loan growth and to meet daily liquidity requirements.
9
<PAGE>
Loans
Total loans, net of unearned income increased $23,343,000 or 6.1% at March 31,
1998 to $409,094,000 from $385,751,000 at December 31, 1997. YNB's loan
portfolio represented 62.5% of total assets at March 31, 1998 compared to 62.8%
at December 31, 1997. YNB's lending focus continues to be on commercial loans
and commercial real estate loans. The consolidation in YNB's market place and
the emphasis placed on customer service and relationship banking are key factors
in the first quarter loan growth. Strong competition from both bank and nonbank
competitors coupled with a stable lower interest rate environment could result
in comparatively lower yields on new and established lending relationships. In
addition, borrowers concerns over the economy, real estate prices and interest
rates could all be factors in future loan growth levels. Continued profitable
loan growth is a key factor in meeting earnings growth goals.

Total loans 409,094 385,751 23,343 6.1%
The table above lists the loan growth by component for the period of December
31, 1997 to March 31, 1998. Commercial and agricultural loans had the greatest
growth increasing $14,107,000 in the period. Real estate - commercial loans
had the second greatest growth increasing $6,598,000. This is a reflection on
management's focus on these markets. All other loan components increased with
the exception of home equity loans. To address the declining home equity loan
portfolio, YNB lowered its rates on all home equity products on March 1, 1998.
In the short term, the home equity portfolio continues to decrease but
management believes that in the long term this strategy should make YNB's home
equity product more competitive in the marketplace.
Liabilities
YNB's deposit base is the principal source of funds supporting interest-bearing
assets. Total deposits increased $28,832,000 or 6.8% to $451,776,000 at March
31, 1998 compared to $422,944,000 at December 31, 1997. Certificates of deposit
were competitively priced throughout the quarter to fund projected loan growth.
Growth in YNB's deposit base in 1998 continued to be principally in higher
costing certificates of deposit. Interest bearing deposits increased $29,475,000
or 8.3% at March 31, 1998 compared to December 31, 1997.
10
<PAGE>
Interest bearing deposits, including certificates of deposits $100,000 and over,
increased $29,205,000 to $385,859,000 compared to $356,384,000 at December 31,
1997. Total certificates of deposits under $100,000 increased $24,185,000 to
$199,509,000 compared to $175,324,000 at December 31, 1997. Retail certificates
of deposit were competitively priced to fund the loan demand in the first
quarter. Non-interest bearing deposits decreased $643,000 or 1.0%to $65,917,000
at March 31, 1997 compared to $66,560,000 at December 31, 1997.
YNB's overall philosophy of building and maintaining long-term customer
relationships is the key to further expanding the core deposit base, which, in
turn, presents opportunities for YNB to cross-sell its services. However, in the
near term, trends indicate that YNB will be dependent on higher costing retail
certificates of deposits to fund new lending opportunities. On March 31, 1998,
YNB signed a lease to open its tenth branch in Pennington, New Jersey. This
branch is projected to be open for business in the third quarter of 1998.
Borrowed Funds
Borrowed funds totaled $145,646,000 at March 31, 1998 compared to $134,316,000
at December 31, 1997. The increase for the first three months of 1998 was
$11,330,000 or 8.4%. The majority of the increase was in repurchase agreements
relating to the Investment Growth Strategy, which increased $9,740,000 or 9.7%
to $109,790,000 at March 31, 1998 compared to $100,050,000 at December 31, 1997.
As shorter-term repurchase agreements have matured, management has utilized
attractively priced callable repurchase agreements to reduce interest expense.
These repurchase agreements typically have a maturity of five to ten years and
can be called after a lock out period ranging from one to two years. At March
31, 1998, $41,500,000 or 37.8% of the repurchase agreements were in callable
repurchase agreements. There were no callable repurchase agreements outstanding
at year-end 1997.
YNB had Federal Home Loan Bank of New York (FHLB) advances outstanding of
$29,333,000 at March 31, 1998. As advances have matured management has shifted
FHLB advances from shorter-term advances into callable advances. At March 31,
1998 callable advances outstanding totaled $22,500,000 as compared to
$10,000,000 at December 31, 1997. Callable FHLB advances have terms of ten years
and call dates starting after the fifth year.
The callable FHLB Advances and repurchase agreements have allowed YNB to lower
its borrowing costs while at the same time extending the terms. In the event
that rates rise, the callable borrowings will be called. In the event of falling
interest rates, callable borrowings will not be called and could remain
outstanding until maturity.
YNB has the ability to borrow up to $24,500,000 from the FHLB through it line of
credit program, subject to collateral requirements. In addition, YNB is eligible
to borrow up to 30% of assets under the FHLB advance program subject to FHLB
stock requirements, collateral requirements and other restrictions. YNB also
maintains unsecured federal funds lines with four commercial banks totaling
$21,000,000 for daily funding needs. YNB's funding strategy is to rely on
deposits to fund new loan growth whenever possible and to rely on borrowed funds
as a secondary funding source for loans.

Company - Obligated Mandatorily Redeemable Trust Preferred Securities of
Subsidiary Trust Holding Solely Junior Subordinated Debentures of the Company
(Trust Preferred Securities)
On October 16, 1997, YNB through its subsidiary Yardville Capital Trust
completed the sale of $11,500,000, 9.25%, Trust Preferred Securities. For
regulatory capital purposes the entire amount of the issue is treated at Tier 1
capital at the holding company level.
Capital
Stockholders' equity at March 31, 1998 totaled $39,937,000, an increase of
$192,000 or 0.5% compared to $39,745,000 at December 31, 1997. This increase
resulted from the following factors:
(i) Net income of $1,334,000 less dividend payment of $348,000.
(ii) The unrealized gain on available for sale securities were $124,000 at
December 31, 1997 compared to an unrealized loss of $125,000 at March
31, 1998. This shift resulted in a $249,000 reduction in stockholders'
equity for the quarter.
(iii) Proceeds of $178,000 from exercised options to purchase the Company's
common stock under the Company's employee and director stock option
plans.
(iv) Repurchase of 39,800 shares of the Company's stock, which are listed as
treasury stock in the amount of $723,000.
YNB's Tier 1 leverage ratio was 8.3% at March 31, 1998 compared with 9.5% at
December 31, 1997. At March 31, 1998 the Tier 1 risk based capital ratio was
11.8% compared with 12.2% at December 31, 1997 and the total risk based capital
ratio was 13.0% compared to 13.5% at December 31, 1997.
The minimum regulatory capital requirements for financial institutions require
institutions to have a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 4.0%, a Tier 1 risk-based asset
capital ratio of 4.0% and a total risked based capital ratio of 8.0%. To be
considered "well capitalized" an institution must have a minimum Tier 1 capital
and total risk-based capital ratio of 6.0% and 10.0%, respectively, and a
minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio of 5.0%. At March 31, 1998, YNB exceeded the above
ratios required to be well capitalized.
On October 28, 1997, Yardville National Bancorp's Board of Directors authorized
management to repurchase up to 172,000 shares of YNB's common shares in the open
market in compliance with Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
As of March 31, 1998, as part of an overall capital plan, 39,800 shares were
repurchased at an average price of $18.17 per share. The stock repurchase
program is part of an overall plan to effectively manage capital.

Credit Quality
At March 31, 1998, nonperforming loans, consisting of loans 90 days and more
past due and nonaccruing loans, totaled $5,069,000 compared to $5,315,000 at
December 31, 1997. Other real estate at March 31, 1998 totaled $3,492,000
compared to $3,171,000 at December 31, 1997. Total nonperforming assets at March
31, 1998 were $8,561,000, a $75,000 increase over nonperforming asset levels at
December 31, 1997. Nonperforming assets as a percentage of total assets were
1.31% at March 31, 1998 compared to 1.38% at December 31, 1997. Nonperforming
assets as a percentage of total loans and other real estate were 2.1% at March
31, 1998 compared to 2.2% at December 31, 1997. The improvement in these ratios
is due to the fact that asset growth and loan growth exceeded the growth in
nonperforming assets for the quarter. YNB continues to actively manage
nonperforming assets with the goal of reducing these assets in relationship to
the total loan portfolio. Whenever possible, existing loan relationships are
being restructured in an effort to return these loans to performing status.
The allowance for loan losses increased to $5,902,000 or 1.44% of total loans
compared to $5,570,000 or 1.44% at December 31, 1997. The provision for loan
losses for the first three months of 1998 was $400,000 with net charge-offs
totaling $68,000. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of nonperforming
loans was 116.43% at March 31, 1998 compared to 104.80% at December 31, 1997. At
March 31, 1998 the allowance for loan losses in management's judgement is
considered adequate in relation to credit risk exposure levels.
Results of Operations
Net Income
YNB reported net income of $1,334,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998
an increase of $122,000 or 10.1% over the same period in 1997. The increase in
net income for the three months ended March 31, 1998 compared to the same period
in 1997 is primarily attributed to higher net interest income and improved
non-interest income offset by a higher provision for loan losses due to
increased loan volume and increased non-interest expense.
On a per share basis, basic and diluted earnings per share were $0.26 for the
three months ended March 31, 1998 compared to $0.24 per share for the same
period in 1997
Net Interest Income
YNB's net interest income for the first three months of 1998 was $5,279,000 an
increase of $661,000 or 14.3% from the same period in 1997. The principal
factors contributing to this increase were an increase in interest income of
$2,153,000 resulting from increased loan and investment balances offset by an
increase of $1,492,000 in interest expense. This increase in interest expense
was due to higher volume of and higher costs on CDs, a higher level of borrowed
funds and the interest associated with YNB's Trust Preferred Securities.
The net interest margin (tax equivalent basis) between the yield on average
earning assets and the cost of average funding liabilities was 3.67% for the
three months ended March 31, 1998 compared to 3.90% for the same period in 1997.
The principal factor causing the narrowing of the net interest margin was the
increased costs of interest bearing liabilities.
13
<PAGE>
In order to fund the loan growth experienced in the first quarter 1998, YNB
aggressively marketed higher costing CDs. YNB's 15-month CD was the featured
product in the first quarter. Comparatively, average CDs under $100,000
increased $29,529,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 compared to
March 31, 1997. Over the same period, the average interest rate increased to
5.71% compared to 5.66% for the first three months of 1997. The reliance on
higher cost CDs to fund new loan growth will continue to exert a downward
pressure on the net interest margin.
The net interest margin for both the 1998 and 1997 comparative periods is
negatively impacted by YNB's Investment Growth Strategy. This strategy involves
purchasing investments utilizing repurchase agreements or other funding sources.
The targeted spread on this strategy is 75 basis points after tax. Because of
the targeted spread on this strategy there will be a negative impact to the net
interest margin and return on assets. The balance outstanding in the Investment
Growth Strategy at March 31, 1998 was approximately $111,200,000 compared to
$59,100,000 at March 31, 1997. Conversely, this strategy increases both return
on equity and earnings per share, the primary goals of the strategy.
Interest Income
For the three months ended March 31, 1998 total interest income of $11,691,000
increased $2,153,000 or 22.6% compared to three months ended March 31, 1997. The
increase is principally due to increases in both the yield and amount
outstanding of both loans and investments. Average loans increased $62,812,000
and the yield improved 4 basis points to 8.73% from 8.69% for the first three
months of 1997. This resulted in interest and fees on loans increasing
$1,403,000 or 19.1% to $8,748,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 when
compared to the $7,345,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997. Average
securities outstanding for the three month ended March 31, 1998 increased
$47,748,000 to $175,226,000 when compared to the $127,478,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 1997. Over the same period, the yield on the securities
portfolio increased 12 basis points and combined with the increased outstandings
resulted in interest on securities increasing $806,000 to $2,819,000 at March
31, 1998 compared to March 31, 1997.
Overall, the yield on YNB's interest earning asset portfolio increased 3 basis
points to 7.99% for the three months ended March 31, 1998 when compared to the
7.96% for the same period in 1997.
Interest Expense
Total interest expense increased $1,492,000 or 30.3% to $6,412,000 for the first
three months of 1998 compared to $4,920,000 for the same period in 1997. The
increase in interest expense for the comparable time period resulted from a
larger deposit base, higher rates on CDs, a higher level of borrowed funds and
the interest expense associated with the trust preferred securities issued in
October 1997. The average rate paid on interest bearing liabilities increased 22
basis points to 4.96% for the three months ended March 31, 1998 compared to
4.74% for the same period in 1997.
14
<PAGE>
Interest on time deposits increased $441,000 to $2,974,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 1998 from $2,533,000 for the same period in 1997. This increase
was caused by an increase in the average outstanding balance of $28,712,000 to
$209,380,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998, when compared to the
average balance of $180,668,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997, and a
7 basis point increase in cost over the same period. During the quarter, YNB
offered attractive rates CDs to fund loan growth.
Interest expense on borrowed funds increased $760,000 to $1,917,000 for the
first three months of 1998 when compared to the $1,157,000 for the same period
in 1997. The increase was caused by a $53,751,000 increase in the average
balance outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 1998 when compared to
the same period in 1997. The rate paid on borrowed funds remained unchanged at
5.67% for the comparative periods. The primary cause for the increase in
borrowed funds outstanding was the funding of securities in the Investment
Growth Strategy. A second factor contributing to the increase in interest
expense was the trust preferred securities issued in October 1997. Total
interest expense associated with this issue was $266,000 for the first three
months of 1998.
While YNB desires to fund asset growth with lower cost savings, money markets,
interest bearing checking and non-interest bearing demand deposits, this is not
always possible as asset growth rates often exceed the growth rate in these
deposit types. To meet the funding needs, YNB anticipates continued reliance on
higher cost retail CDs and, to a lesser extent, borrowed funds.
Provision for Loan Losses
YNB provides for possible loan losses by a charge to current operations. The
provision for loan losses for the three months ended March 31, 1998 was $400,000
a 45.5% increase over the $275,000 provision recorded for the same period of
1997. The increase in the provision was primarily due to the strong loan growth
recorded in the first quarter of 1998. Management believes that the reserve for
loan losses is adequate in relation to the credit risk exposure levels.
Non-interest Income
Total non-interest income for the first three months of 1998 was $688,000 an
increase of $82,000 or 13.5% over non-interest income of $606,000 for the same
period in 1997. The increase is primarily due to increases in service charges on
deposit accounts and other non-interest income. Service charges on deposit
accounts increased $23,000 or 8.1% for the first three months of 1998 compared
to the same period in 1997. The increase in service charges is primarily due to
growth in the deposit base for the comparable periods. YNB also recorded gains
on sale of available for sale securities and mortgages totaling $26,000 for the
first three months of 1998. These gains reflect routine sales. Other
non-interest income increased $33,000 or 10.2% for the first three months of
1998 compared to the same 1997 period. The increase is principally due to
additional fee income derived from life insurance assets. In the second quarter,
YNB will offer its customers the ability to purchase annuities and mutual funds.
Management expects this new service to improve non-interest income.
15
<PAGE>
Non-interest Expense
Total non-interest expense increased $425,000 or 13.8% to $3,504,000 for the
first three months of 1998 compared to $3,079,000 for the same period in 1997.
The increase in non-interest expenses was primarily due to increases in salary
and employee benefits, equipment expense and other non-interest expense. Total
non-interest expenses, on an annualized basis, as a percentage of average assets
were 2.25% for the first quarter compared to 2.43% for the same period of 1997.
Salary and employee benefits increased $126,000 or 6.9% for the first three
months of 1998 compared to the same period in 1997. This increase reflects
increases to staffing due to YNB's growth as well as normal increases in salary
and benefit costs. Equipment expense increased $46,000 or 18.4% to $296,000 from
$250,000 for the same period in 1997. The equipment costs increase reflects the
continuing efforts of YNB to maintain and upgrade technology in order to provide
the highest quality service as well as resolving Year 2000 issues. Occupancy
expense for the first three months of 1998 was $233,000 and compared to $234,000
for the same period in 1997.
Other non-interest expenses increased $254,000 to $1,032,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 1998 when compared to the $778,000 for the same period in
1997. The components with the most significant increases are discussed below.
Outside consulting fees increased $140,000 or 53.4% to $402,000 from $262,000
for the same period in 1997. This increase reflects the use of consultants on
various projects that YNB is involved. One project involves restructuring
certain checking and interest bearing checking accounts so that these deposits
will no longer be subject to reserve requirements under the Federal Reserve
Bank's Regulation D. Management estimates that approximately $4,000,000 in
balances on deposit with the Federal Reserve for reserve requirement purposes
could be available to invest in interest earning assets. The interest earned on
these funds will more than cover the costs associated with the project. The
amortization of the organizational costs associated with the Trust Preferred
Securities was $39,900 for the period. Telephone expense increased $19,000 or
45.24% to $67,000 for the first three months of 1998 from $42,000 for the same
period in 1997. The increase reflects costs associated with YNB's help center as
well as increased levels of activity. A key focus of YNB remains controlling the
increase in non-interest expenses.

follows:

The rent for the third five year option period shall be at the
then fair market value (FMV) of the leased premises. If the
parties cannot agree on the FMV or a mutually agreeable
appraiser to determine same, each party at its own cost will then
hire an appraiser and the FMV shall be determined by taking an
average of the two appraisals provided the difference between the
two is 10% or less. If the difference between the two appraisals
is greater than 10%, then the two hired appraisers shall pick a
third appraiser, and the FMV determined by the third appraiser
shall be binding. The parties shall equally share the cost of the
third appraiser.
The rents for the option period shall be paid in one/twelve equal
monthly installments due on the first of each month. Tenant agrees
that the demised space is accepted during the renewal periods in
"as is" condition. Tenant further understands that the above
figures do not include the taxes, insurance and maintenance (TIM)
reimbursements, as called for in Paragraph 31st of the above
lease, which shall continue to be due and payable in addition to
the rent.
30. Paragraph 64th of Addendum "A" is modified to delete the first
paragraph and replace it with the following:
7
<PAGE>
At any time during the first five years of the term of this lease
not later 60 days after Tenant receives notice from Landlord
("Relocation Notice"), Tenant shall relocate out of its premises
("Relocation Date") and into substantially similar space but at an
area of approximately 4,636 rental square feet ("New Space") in
the "Egomatic" building (the "Building") located in Block 66, Lot
8, as shown on the official Tax Map of the Township of Hopewell,
if Landlord obtains the necessary governmental approvals from any
governmental authority having jurisdiction thereof to permit a
bank use in the Building and make the improvements to the site
pursuant to the approved site plan (the "Approvals"). However,
Tenant acknowledges that Landlord has not guaranteed that the
proposed entryways and stoplight off of Route 31 can or will be
obtained by Landlord. Further, Tenant acknowledges that the
location of the drive-through lanes may change if required by the
Township or any other governmental authority having jurisdiction
over the property during the approvals. Rent under the new leased
premises shall commence on the ninetieth day following said
Relocation Notice. Said relocation is contingent upon Tenant using
good faith efforts to obtain all approvals from the office of the
Comptroller of Currency for a branch bank site at the new location
within sixty (60) days of receiving the Relocation Notice, time
being of the essence.
The following paragraph should be added to the end of Paragraph 64:
The Tenant shall be entitled to two five (5) year options to renew
following the ten year term of the new space under the same terms
and conditions as set forth herein, except that the rent shall be
increased as set forth below. If Tenant does not desire to renew

return receipt requested, on the Landlord six months prior to the
expiration date of the above lease. If notice is not received by
such time, the lease will automatically renew. Landlord may void
Tenant's option to renew this lease at its option if Tenant has
not fulfilled completely and in a timely manner all terms and
conditions of this lease.

<PAGE>
The rent for the first year of the first option period if elected
by Tenant shall increase $.75 per rentable square foot (RSF) in
excess of the rent payable by Tenant during the tenth year of the
term for the new space and each year thereafter shall increase by
$.75 per RSF over the prior year's RSF rate.
The rent for the second five year option period for the relocation
premises shall be the then current fair market value (FMV) of
the leased premises. If the parties cannot agree on the FMV or a
mutually agreeable appraiser to determine same, each party will
then hire an appraiser and the FMV shall be determined by taking
an average of the two appraisals provided the difference between
the two is 10% or less. If the difference between the two
appraisals is greater than 10%, then the two hired appraisers
shall pick a third appraiser, and the FMV determined by the
third appraiser shall be binding.
In the event the rent payable for the second option period has not
been determined prior to the date the option period commences,
then Tenant shall pay the rent in effect for the last lease year
of the preceding term plus fifteen (15%) percent. Once the rent
payable during the second option period has been determined, such
rent shall be payable as of the date such option period commenced
and an adjustment will be made in the amounts previously paid as
of that date. If Tenant has overpaid its actual rent, Landlord
will credit Tenant with such amounts towards subsequent rent due,
of whatever nature. If Tenant has underpaid its actual rent,
Tenant will pay Landlord the balance due within thirty (30) days
of receipt of a bill for same.
31. Paragraph 66th of Addendum "A" is hereby modified to delete the
last sentence and replace it with the following:
If Landlord or Tenant fail to give such ninety (90) day written
notice during the first ninety (90) days following the fifth year
anniversary date of this lease, then Tenant's obligation to
relocate will remain in full force and effect.

EXCLUSIVE USE. The Tenant covenants and agrees to use the demised premises as a
bank only.
Subject to the rights of other tenants under leases executed prior to the full
execution of this Lease ("Prior Lease"), or any extensions or renewals of such
Prior Lease or a new lease executed by a tenant in occupancy under an expired
Prior Lease and specifically reserving the right of any current or
future supermarket and/or convenience store occupant of the Shopping Center to
have a banking facility during the initial term and any renewal term, provided
Tenant is current under this Lease and not in default of any terms, conditions,
covenants and provisions of this Lease beyond the applicable cure period,
LANDLORD SHALL NOT LEASE TO ANY OTHER TENANT OR SUBTENANT ANY OTHER SPACE IN THE
SHOPPING CENTER OR IN ANY OTHER PREMISES OWNED OR LEASED WITHIN A RADIUS OF ONE
(1) MILE OF THE SHOPPING CENTER FOR THE PRIMARY OPERATION OF A BANK ("EXCLUSIVE
USE").
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the above restriction/exclusive shall
automatically become null and void in the event Tenant or anyone taking under
Tenant ceases to use the Premises primarily for the Exclusive Use (eighty
(80%) percent or more of Tenant's floor area of the Premises is devoted to the
Exclusive Use).
Tenant further agrees that this Exclusive Use shall not apply to any after
acquired or leased property even within the one (1) mile radius restriction if
same is purchased and/or leased with a bank use existing thereon at the time of
the purchase and/or lease by Landlord in locations other than the Shopping
Center as set forth on Addendum B.
In the event of a breach by Landlord under the terms of this Section, Landlord
and Tenant acknowledge and agree that Tenant does not have an adequate remedy at
law for breach of this provision and that Tenant's sole remedy in lieu of any
action at law including but not limited to damages or torts shall be limited to
injunctive relief only and the Landlord and Tenant agree that should a suit be
commenced by either party, the prevailing party will be reimbursed its legal
fees, costs, etc., by the other party.
ROOFTOP ANTENNA/SATELLITE DISH. Tenant, subject to the prior review and approval
of the Landlord of plans and specifications for same, which approval shall not
be unreasonably withheld, is permitted to install antenna/satellite dishes and
related equipment on the roof of the building or on the site provided, however:
1. The Tenant shall comply with any and all governmental restrictions
and regulations and obtain all necessary permits.
2. The Tenant agrees that the installation of the satellite dish will
not pierce the roof in any fashion or be visible from the street and parking
lot and that Tenant shall otherwise appropriately screen such equipment and
materials from view.
3. Tenant agrees to the extent reasonably possible to connect the
satellite dish to its meter servicing the demised premises. If the satellite
cannot be connected to the same meter as the demised premises, Tenant agrees to
the installation of a separate electrical meter or submeter to monitor the
electrical uses of Tenant's equipment and agrees to pay to Landlord, upon
demand, the charges of the utility company for such electrical service to
Tenant's equipment. The cost and expense of installation of the meter shall be
the responsibility of the Tenant.
<PAGE>
4. Tenant understands and agrees that Landlord has previously signed
leases with other tenants and further that Landlord cannot prohibit these
existing tenants from placing any telecommunications antennae and/or related
equipment on or about the property. Tenant shall take such actions as may
reasonably be required in order to prevent interference by Tenant's equipment
with other communications equipment installed on the roof by any other tenant
or by Landlord.
5. Tenant agrees to have its satellite dish included under its current
policy of insurance for the demised premises. Tenant shall indemnify, defend and
save Landlord harmless from any and all cost, expense, claim, injury or
liability in any way arising or relating to the installation, operation or
removal of Tenant's equipment or cabling throughout the building, including,
without limitation, expenses related to damage to the roof of the building, and
claims, injury or damages of any other tenants in the building, their employees,
agents and invitees except to the extent that same results from negligent acts
or omissions of Landlord, its employees, agents and invitees.
BANKING APPROVAL. Tenant is hereby granted an option to terminate the lease
within sixty (60) days' of the full execution of the Lease by written notice to
Landlord, TIME BEING MADE OF THE ESSENCE, (the "Effective Date") if Tenant fails
to obtain all necessary approvals to operate a banking facility at the premises
from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency.
If Tenant fails or elects not to terminate the Lease within such sixty (60) day
period, Tenant's right to terminate the Lease set forth herein will be null and
void. If Tenant gives Landlord such timely notice, the lease will be terminated
as if said date were originally set forth in the lease as the termination date
of the term therein.
Except for third party claims accruing prior to the Effective Date, Landlord and
Tenant will on the Effective Date remise, release and forever discharge each
other and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, legal
representatives, successors and assigns of and from all actions or causes of
action, sums of money, acts, damages, judgments, claims, liability and demands
whatsoever of every name and nature, in law or in equity which Landlord or
Tenant can, will or may have, upon or by reason of any matter, cause or thing
whatsoever, directly or indirectly, arising out of or connected in any way with
the Lease or arising out of or in any way connected with the use and occupancy
of the Premises; provided, however, that this shall not be deemed to release
Tenant for sums due Landlord that accrued prior to the Effective Date under the
terms of the Lease. The above obligations of Landlord and Tenant shall survive
the surrender of the lease on the Effective Date.
WALK-UP ATM. Landlord agrees to allow the Tenant to install a walk-up ATM
machine on the exterior of the leased premises provided Tenant, at its cost,
obtains all governmental approvals and necessary permits for same. The design
and location of which are subject to Landlord's approval, not to be unreasonably
withheld, however, the ATM machine must be flush with the front of the building
and Tenant will remove one glass windowpane to insert the ATM flush with the
building. Further, the Tenant will replace the windowpane when it relocates to
the other building or at the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease.
Tenant shall be responsible for repairing any damage or defect created in the
premises resulting from the installation of said ATM machine.

3. Stock Subject to Plan.
The shares to be issued upon exercise of the options granted
under the Plan shall be Common Stock. The maximum number of shares of
Common Stock for which options may be granted under the Plan shall be
105,600 shares (subject to adjustment as provided in section 8 hereof).
The Common Stock to be issued upon exercise of the options may be
authorized but unissued shares or treasury shares, as determined from
time to time by the Committee. If any option granted under the Plan
expires or terminates for any reason whatsoever without having been
exercised in full, the unpurchased shares of Common Stock previously
subject to such option shall become available for new options.
4. Administration.
(a) The Plan shall be administered by a Stock Option Committee of
not less than two directors who are not eligible for options
under this Plan. The Board shall annually appoint the members of
the Stock Option Committee at the annual meeting of the Board.
(b) The Board shall fill all vacancies on the Committee and may
remove any member of the Committee and may remove any member of
the Committee at any time with or without cause. The Committee
shall select its own chairman and shall adopt, after or repeal
such rules and procedures as it may deem proper and shall hold
its meetings at such times and places as it may determine. The
Committee shall keep minutes of its meetings. Action by a
majority of the Committee members present at any meeting at
which a quorum is present or action approved in writing by all
members of the Committee without a meeting, shall constitute the
acts of the Committee.
(c) Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee shall have
the full and final authority to (I) determine the Directors to
whom, and the times at which, options shall be granted and the
number of shares subject to each option; (ii) prescribe, amend
and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan; (iii)
determine the provisions of options granted under the Plan
(which need not be identical) and, with the consent of the
holder thereof, amend or modify any option; (iv) interpret the
Plan and the respective options; and (v) make all other
determinations necessary or advisable for administering the
Plan. All determinations and interpretations by the Committee
shall be binding upon all parties. No member of the Committee or
the Board shall be liable for any action or determination made
in good faith in respect of the Plan or any option granted under
it.
(c) The provisions of this Section 4 shall survive any termination
of the Plan.
5. Eligibility for Award of Options.

6. Option Price.
(a) The purchase price of the Common Stock under each option shall
be determined by the Committee. The purchase price shall be at
least 100% of the fair market value of the Common Stock on the
date of grant of the option.
(b) It is anticipated that the purchase price of the Common Stock
under the option will be 100% of the fair market value. The fair
market value is expected to be the price most recently quoted by
the market makers in the Common Stock. If there is no asked
quotation, the fair market value is expected to be the bid
quotation. If there is both a bid and asked quotation, the fair
market value is expected to be the average of the bid and asked
quotations. This paragraph shall not be binding upon the
Committee. The Committee in its discretion may issue stock
options with a purchase price in excess of the fair market value
and may utilize a different measure of the fair market value
than that set forth here.
7. Terms and Exercise of Option.
(a) Maximum 10-Year Termination Date. Each option shall expire no
later than 10 years after the date on which it is granted, but
the Committee in its discretion may prescribe a shorter period
for any individual option or options. The date of termination
pursuant to this paragraph is referred to hereinafter as the
"termination date of the option."
(b) Vesting.
(i) Options shall be exercisable at such times and in such
installments, if any, as the Committee may determine. In
the event any option is exercisable in installments, any
shares which may be purchased during any year or other
period which are not purchased during such year or other
period may be purchased at any time or from time to time
during any subsequent year or period during the term of
the option unless otherwise provided in the Stock Option
Agreement.
(ii) While the Committee may set any vesting schedule which it
wishes, it is the expectation of the Board in adopting
this Plan that the options vest during a period of up to
five years after the date of grant. For example, the
Committee may provide that only 25% of the shares granted
under the option may be purchased during the first year
after the date of grant, an additional 25% of the shares
may be purchased commencing two years after the date of
grant, an additional 25% of the shares may be purchased at
any time three years after the date of grant and 100% of
the stock may be purchased only four years after the date
of the grant.
(iii) In connection with any proposed sale or conveyance of all
or substantially all of the assets of the company or of
any proposed consolidation or merger of the Company or of
any proposed change in control of the Company or recently
accomplished change in control of the Company, the Board
in its discretion may accelerate the vesting schedule of
any or all options and may immediately vest 100% of any or
all options. In the event the Board determines to
accelerate the vesting schedule, it shall notify each
holder of an option whose vesting schedule has been
accelerated.

(c) Means of Exercise of Option. An option shall be exercised by
written notice to the Secretary or Treasurer of the Company at
its then principal office. The notice shall specify the number
of shares as to which the option is being exercised and shall be
accompanied by payment in full of the Common Stock already
owned, with a fair market value (on the date of exercise) equal
to the purchase price for such shares. An optionee at his
discretion may, in lieu of cash payment, deliver Common Stock
already owned, with a fair market value (on the date of
exercise) equal to the purchase option. The fair market value of
such Common Stock shall be determined by the Committee in
accordance with Section 6(b) hereof. In the event an option is
being exercised in whole or in part, pursuant to section 7(f) or
(g) hereof by any person other than the optionee, a notice of
election shall be accompanied by proof satisfactory to the
Company of the rights of such person to exercise said option. An
optionee shall not, by virtue of the granting of an option be
entitled to any rights of a shareholder in the Company and he
shall not be considered a record holder of shares purchased by
him until the date on which he is recorded as the holder of such
shares upon the stock records of the Company. The Company shall
not be required to pay to the person exercising the option the
cash equivalent of any fractional interest unless so determined
by the Committee.
(d) Options are Non-Transferable. No option may be transferred by
the optionee (except in connection with death or disability as
provided in sections 7(f) and (g)).
(e) Options Lapse 3 Months After Termination of Employment. In the
event an optionee ceases to be a Director at any time for any
reason (excluding disability or death), his option and all
rights thereunder shall be exercisable by him at any time within
three months thereafter but only to the extent exercisable by
him on the date of termination of his employment and in no event
later than the termination date of the option.
(f) Option Exercisable 12 Months After Termination in Event of
Disability. In the event a Director is permanently and totally
disabled (within the meaning of Section 105(d)(4), or any
successor section, of the Code) his option and all rights
thereunder shall be exercisable by him (or his legal
representative) at any time within 12 months of his termination
of employment, but in no event later than the termination date
of the option.
(g) Option Exercisable 12 Months After Date of Death. If an optionee
dies while a Director, his option may be exercised by his
Designated Beneficiary (or if none have been effectively
designated, by his executor, administrator or the person to whom
his rights under his option shall pass by his will or by the
laws of descent and distribution) at any time within 12 months
after the date of his death, but only to the extent exercisable
by the optionee at his death and option may not be exercised
later than the termination date of the option.
(h) Options Must Be Evidenced by Writing. Each Option granted
pursuant to the Plan shall be evidenced by a written Stock
Option agreement, duly executed by the Company and the optionee,
in such form and containing such provisions as the Committee or
Board may from time to time authorize or approve.

8. Adjustments.
The Stock Option Agreement shall contain appropriate
provisions for the adjustment of the kind and number of shares subject
to each outstanding option in the event of any changes in the
outstanding Common Stock of the Company by reason of stock dividends,
stock splits, recapitalizations, reorganizations, mergers,
consolidations, combinations or exchanges of shares, and the like. In
the event of any such change or changes in the outstanding Common
Stock, and as often as the same shall occur, the kind and aggregate
number of shares available under the Plan shall be appropriately
adjusted by the Committee or Board, whose determination shall be
binding and conclusive.
9. Amendment and Termination.
(a) Except as otherwise hereinafter provided, no alteration,
suspension or termination of the Plan may, without the consent
of the Director to whom any option shall have theretofore been
granted (or the person or persons entitled to exercise such
option under section 7(f) or (g) of the Plan), terminate his
option or adversely affect his rights thereunder.
(b) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event
that the Board at any time declares it advisable to do so in
connection with any proposed sale or conveyance of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company or of any
proposed consolidation or merger of the Company, the Company may
give written notice to the holder of any option that his option
may be exercised only within 30 days after the date of such
notice but not thereafter, and all rights under said option
which shall not have been so exercised shall terminate at the
expiration of such 30 days, provided that the proposed sale,
conveyance, consolidation or merger to which such notices shall
relate is consummated within 6 months after the date of such
notice. In the event such notice has been given, any such option
may be exercised either in whole or in part notwithstanding the
vesting period required under the terms of the option for the
exercise thereof. If such proposed sale, conveyance,
consolidation or merger is not consummated within the said time
period, no unexercised rights under any option shall be affected
by such notice except that such option may not be exercised
between the date of expiration of such 30 days and the date of
the expiration of such 6 months.
10. Indemnification.
Any member of the Committee or the Board who is made, or
threatened to be made, a party to any action or proceeding, whether
civil or criminal, by reason of the fact that he is or was a member of
the Committee or the Board insofar as relates to the Plan shall be
indemnified by the Company, and the Company, may advance his related
expenses, to the full extent permitted by law and/or the Bylaws of the
Company.
11. Effective Date of the Plan.
The Plan shall become effective on, and options may be granted
thereunder after April 27, 1994.
12. Expenses.
The Company shall pay all fees and expenses incurred in connection with
the establishment and administration of the Plan.

13. Government Regulations, Registration and Listing of Stock.
(a) The Plan, and the grant and exercise of options thereunder, and
the Company's obligation to sell and deliver stock under such
options, shall be subject to all applicable federal and state
laws, rules and regulations and to such approvals by any
regulatory or governmental agency as may be required.
(b) Unless a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933
and the applicable rules and regulations thereunder
(collectively the "Act") is then in effect with respect to
shares issued upon exercise of any option (which registration
shall not be required), the Company shall require that the offer
and sale of such shares be exempt from the registration
provisions of the said Act. In furtherance of such exemption,
the Company may require, as a condition precedent to the
exercise of any option, that the person exercising the option
give to the Company a written representation and undertaking,
satisfactory in form and substance to the Company, that his is
acquiring the shares for his own account for investment and not
with a view to the distribution or resale thereof and otherwise
establish to the company's satisfaction that the offer or sale
of the shares issuable upon exercise of the option will not
constitute or result in any breach or violation of the Act or
any similar state act or statute or any rules or regulations
thereunder. In the event a Registration Statement under the Act
is not then in effect with respect to the shares of Common Stock
issued upon exercise of an option, the Company shall place upon
any stock certificate an appropriate legend referring to the
restrictions on disposition under the Act.
(c) In the event the class of shares issuable upon the exercise of
any option is listed on any national securities exchange, the
Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any
certificate for shares upon the exercise of any option prior to
the listing of the shares so issuable on such national
securities exchange and prior to the registration of the same
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or any similar act or
statute.
