                   WASHINGTON BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                     FOR THE PERIOD ENDED MARCH 31, 1994

Note 1.   The interim consolidated financial statements included herein have
          been prepared by Washington Bancorp, Inc.(the "Company"), without
          audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and
          Exchange Commission, and should be read in conjunction with the
          audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the
          year ended December 31, 1993. Certain information and note
          disclosure normally included in consolidated financial statements
          prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
          have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although
          the Company believes that the disclosures being made are adequate to
          make the information presented not misleading. In the opinion of
          management, these consolidated financial statements reflect all
          adjustments (all of which are of a normal recurring nature) which are
          necessary for a fair statement of results for the interim periods.
          The results for the 1994 interim period are not necessarily indicative
          of results to be expected for the entire year.

Note 2.   The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
          Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Washington Savings Bank
          (the "Bank"). All material intercompany balances and transactions
          have been eliminated.

Note 3.   Income before cumulative effect of change in accounting principle
          per share and net income per share were computed by dividing net
          income for each period by the weighted average number of shares
          outstanding (which excludes unvested shares of the Management
          Recognition and Retention Plan for all periods) and common stock
          equivalents. Options granted under the Company's stock option plans
          are considered stock equivalents for purposes of earnings per share
          data.

          Included in multi-family/commercial real estate nonaccrual loans is
          a loan, collateralized by a first mortgage and an
          assignment-of-rents, to a partnership whose general partner filed a
          Chapter 11 bankruptcy petition during the first quarter of 1993 (the
          "Partnership Loan"). On November 10, 1993, the Court dismissed the
          bankruptcy petition. Nevertheless, the Bank did not receive any of
          the rental payments from April 1993 through November 1993, as the
          payments


                                      8
<PAGE>

          were made to a debtor-in-possession account and, pursuant to a Court
          Order, were released to the City of Philadelphia (and not to the
          Bank) to pay a substantial portion of property tax arrearages.
          Rental payments were resumed to the Bank in December 1993. On
          January 29, 1994, the Bank paid approximately $450,000 to the City
          of Philadelphia to resolve all remaining property tax arrearages and
          to pay 1994 property taxes. The amount of such payment was
          capitalized into the Partnership Loan balance during 1994,
          increasing the loan balance to approximately $9.2 million. The Bank
          anticipates that the Partnership Loan will be renegotiated during
          1994. Based upon a $12.2 million appraisal, management believes that
          the Bank has adequate collateral with respect to the Partnership
          Loan and anticipates collection of the outstanding principal
          balance.

          nonperformance by the potential borrowers is represented by the
          contractual amount of the financial instruments as follows:

Note 6.   In October 1991, a complaint was filed by a former officer in New
          Jersey Superior Court against the Company, the Bank and certain
          directors and officers seeking unspecified damages relating to the
          termination of such officer's

          employment. The Bank and individual defendants filed an answer and
          asserted certain counterclaims. Although this complaint was
          dismissed, it was dismissed without prejudice to the plaintiff's
          right to refile the complaint by March 31, 1994. The complaint was
          refiled by such date. It is anticipated that the Company and
          individual defendants will file a comparable answer and
          counterclaims. In April 1992, a complaint was filed in the New
          Jersey Superior Court against the Company and the Bank seeking
          unspecified damages and alleging violations of state securities
          laws, certain banking laws and state common law. In February 1994,
          the plaintiffs amended their complaint to add claims against nine
          individual defendants, including current and former officers and
          directors of the Company and the Bank. This lawsuit is in the
          discovery stage. Management believes that the defendants have
          meritorious defenses in both of these actions and intends to
          vigorously defend these actions. Given the uncertainties involved in
          judicial proceedings and the preliminary stage of discovery in these
          matters, management cannot determine the precise amount of any
          potential loss that may arise in these matters. Accordingly, no
          provision for loss, if any, that may result upon resolution of these
          matters has been recorded in the Company's financial statements.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
               OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

A.   General

     Washington Bancorp Inc. (the "Company") reported net income for the
     quarter ended March 31, 1994 of $392,000, or $.17 per share, as compared
     with net income of $1,162,000, or $.51 per share, for the quarter ended
     March 31, 1993. Included in the 1993 net income is an income tax refund
     of approximately $747,000 and interest of $136,000 thereon, as well as a
     $300,000 benefit upon adoption of SFAS 109-"Accounting for Income Taxes."
     For more information regarding results of operations, refer to "Results
     of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 1994 and 1993" below.

     During the first quarter of 1994, nonperforming assets decreased to $18.7
     million ($9.2 million attributable to the Partnership loan, which is
     described in the next paragraph; $3.6 million in other nonperforming
     loans and $5.9 million in real estate owned ("REO")) from $20.0 million
     ($8.8 million attributable to the Partnership loan, $4.1 million in other
     nonperforming loans and $7.1 million in REO) at December 31, 1993. The
     primary reason for the decrease in nonperforming assets was the sale of
     thirteen parcels of REO with a net book value of $850,000 as well as
     write-downs of REO totaling $330,000, the largest of which was $100,000
     on the largest REO property. At March 31, 1994 and December 31, 1993, the
     Company's aggregate amount of allowance for losses on loans and REO of
     $4.5 million and $4.7 million, respectively, approximated 40% and 36%,
     respectively, of gross nonperforming assets excluding the Partnership
     Loan and approximated 22% and 21%, respectively, of gross nonperforming
     assets including the Partnership Loan.

     The "Partnership Loan" is a loan, collateralized by a first mortgage and
     an assignment-of-rents, to a partnership whose general partner filed a
     Chapter 11 bankruptcy petition during the first quarter of 1993. On
     November 10, 1993, the Court dismissed the bankruptcy petition.
     Nevertheless, the wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company-Washington
     Savings Bank (the "Bank")-did not receive any of the rental payments from
     April 1993 through November 1993, as the payments were made to a
     debtor-in-possession account and, pursuant to a Court Order, were
     released to the City of Philadelphia (and not to the Bank) to pay a
     substantial portion of property tax arrearages. Rental payments were
     resumed to the Bank in December 1993. On January 29, 1994, the Bank paid
     approximately $450,000 to the City of Philadelphia to resolve all
     remaining property tax arrearages and to pay 1994 property taxes. The
     amount of such payment was capitalized into the Partnership Loan balance
     during 1994. The Bank anticipates that the Partnership Loan will be
     renegotiated during 1994. During the first quarter of 1994, the Bank
     recognized approximately $219,000 of interest income on the Partnership
     Loan.

     During the first quarter of 1994, the Company experienced a net decrease in
     loans of approximately $6.1 million, or 4%, to $163.0 million at March 31,
     1994 from $169.1


                                      11
<PAGE>

     million at year-end 1993 and a net decrease in mortgage-backed securities
     of approximately $3.1 million, or 16%, to $15.9 million at March 31, 1994
     from $19.0 million at year-end 1993 due to mortgage prepayments. A portion
     of the funds were used to fund approximately $2.8 million of net deposit
     outflows and the remainder of the funds were reinvested in investment
     securities. These events occurred while the Federal Reserve Bank ("FRB")
     raised interest rates and while the Company did not experience a
     significant change in its cost of funds. The Company maintains a relatively
     high liquidity ratio of approximately 40% should deposit outflows continue
     into the foreseeable future.

     The increase in the interest rate environment during the first quarter of
     1994 also decreased the carrying value of securities available for sale
     by $908,000 (net of tax). Such market value adjustment had no effect on
     results of operations; however, stockholders' equity was reduced by
     $908,000. The amount of unrealized loss on available-for-sale securities
     (net of tax) as of March 31, 1994 was $722,000.

     As previously announced, the FRB recently completed an off-site analysis
     of the Company. As a result of that analysis, in January 1994, the FRB
     rescinded its Memorandum of Understanding, which the Company had
     originally signed on August 13, 1991 in connection with the FRB's
     examination as of December 31, 1990.


B.   Results of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 1994 and 1993
     ------------------------------------------------------------------------

     NET  INCOME:

     The Company's net income for the quarter ended March 31, 1994 was
     $392,000, or $.17 per share, as compared with net income of $1,162,000,
     or $.51 per share, for the quarter ended March 31, 1993. Included in the
     1993 net income is an income tax refund of approximately $747,000 and
     interest of $136,000 thereon, as well as a $300,000 benefit upon adoption
     of SFAS 109-"Accounting for Income Taxes."

     Excluding the 1993 events referred to above, net income improved
     approximately $413,000 due primarily to an improvement in net interest
     income of $286,000, or 12%, a decrease in total other expenses of
     $191,000, or 8%, and a decrease in the provision for losses on loans of
     $125,000, or 63%, which was partially offset by certain factors,
     including an increase in income tax expense of $167,000.

     NET INTEREST INCOME:

     Net interest income increased $286,000, or 12%, for the three months ended
     March 31, 1994 as compared with the corresponding period last year. The
     increase from 1993 was primarily due to the fact that rates of
     interest-bearing liabilities declined more rapidly than yields of
     interest-earning assets, as well as to an increase in net interest-earning


                                      12
<PAGE>

     assets. The interest rate spread improved to 3.53% for the three months
     ended March 31, 1994 from 3.16% for the comparable period of 1993.

     Total interest income decreased $277,000, or 6%, due to lower yields
     earned on substantially all interest-earning asset categories as well as
     a change in the mix of interest-earning assets, partially offset by a
     $2.3 million increase in average interest-earning assets. The low yield
     earned on mortgage-backed securities was due in part to prepayments which
     occurred more rapidly than originally anticipated resulting in increased
     premium amortization of $105,000 during the first quarter of 1994. In
     addition, lower yields of mortgage loans was a result of adjustable-rate
     loans repricing downward in concert with an overall decline in the
     interest rate environment from the first quarter of 1993 to the first
     quarter of 1994. The mix of interest-earning assets negatively impacted
     interest income as excess funds from prepayments of mortgage loans were
     reinvested into investment and mortgage-backed securities earning 4.75%
     and 3.90%, respectively, on average. The increase in average
     interest-earning assets was primarily a result of reductions in REO.

     Total interest expense decreased $563,000, or 23%, due to lower rates
     paid on all categories of interest-bearing liabilities, a lower average
     balance of interest-bearing liabilities and a change in the liability
     mix. Average yields for interest-bearing liabilities declined to 3.18%
     for the three months ended March 31, 1994 from 4.03% for the three months
     ended March 31, 1993. The average balance of total interest-bearing
     liabilities declined to $236.0 million from $242.9 million as a result of
     net deposit outflows. The change in the mix of interest-bearing
     liabilities decreased interest expense as the average balance of savings
     accounts increased to 44% of total interest-bearing liabilities for the
     three months ended March 31, 1994 from 41% for the quarter ended March
     31, 1993, while the average balance of CD's decreased to 51% of total
     interest-bearing liabilities for the three months ended March 31, 1994
     from 54% for the quarter ended March 31, 1993. Generally, interest rates
     paid on savings accounts are lower than interest rates paid on CD's.

     (Refer to rate/volume analysis and yield/cost analysis on pages 16 and
     17, respectively, for further detail.)

     PROVISION FOR LOSSES ON LOANS:

     The provision for losses on loans decreased $125,000, or 63%, to $75,000
     for the three months ended March 31, 1994 as compared to $200,000 for the
     corresponding period last year. The decrease reflects a decrease of
     approximately 60% in nonperforming loans (excluding the Partnership Loan,
     the principal of which is perceived by management to be adequately
     collateralized).


                                      13
<PAGE>

     OTHER INCOME:

     Total other income decreased $159,000, or 59%, due primarily to the
     receipt of interest of $136,000 in 1993 on the aforementioned income tax
     refund and a decrease in net security gains of $30,000.

     OTHER EXPENSES:

     Total other expenses decreased $191,000, or 8%, for the three months
     ended March 31, 1994 as compared with the corresponding period last year.
     The decrease was primarily due to a decrease of $76,000 in costs
     associated with nonperforming assets and other matters, a $63,000
     decrease in various insurance premiums (the largest of which was $41,000
     in reduced FDIC assessments) due to the Company's improved financial
     status, a $60,000 decrease in salaries and benefits due to less full-time
     equivalent employees and a $32,000 net decrease in miscellaneous other
     expense categories, partially offset by a $40,000 increase in REO expense
     (net) as described in the following table.

     The components of REO expense (net) are as follows:

                                               Three months ended March 31,

                                               ==========       ==========

     The increase in the provision for losses on REO was due to an additional
     market value writedown of $100,000 on the largest REO property, reducing
     its carrying value to $1.4 million.

     INCOME TAXES AND CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLE:

     The Company recorded an income tax expense of $219,000 for the three
     months ended March 31, 1994 as compared to an income tax benefit of
     $695,000 for the corresponding period last year. The income tax benefit
     in 1993 was comprised of the aforementioned $747,000 income tax refund,
     offset by a current provision of $52,000.

     On January 1, 1993, The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
     Standards No. 109: "Accounting for Income Taxes", which resulted (during
     the first quarter of 1993) in a cumulative benefit of a change in
     accounting principle of $300,000, or $.13 per share.

C.   Liquidity and Capital Resources

     Liquidity is the ability to meet current cash needs in order to fund
     loans and deposit withdrawals, make debt payments, and cover operating
     expenses. The Bank's liquidity ratio at March 31, 1994 and December 31,
     1993, as calculated according to the FDIC definition, was 39.5% and
     38.8%, respectively, while the amount of assets used in the liquidity
     ratio calculation was $97.1 million and $96.4 million, respectively. The
     increase in the liquidity ratio was primarily due to cash received on
     prepayments of loans and mortgage-backed securities, sales of REO and
     non-payment of first quarter taxes due to a delay in the transmission of
     first quarter tax bills from municipalities in the Company's primary
     lending area, partially offset by an increase in unrealized losses in the
     securities portfolio.

     Cash and cash equivalents increased $1.8 million during the first quarter
     of 1994, as operating activities provided $2.0 million and investing
     activities provided $2.3 million, offset by financing activities using
     $2.5 million. The $2.0 million of cash provided by operating activities
     was primarily derived from net interest income and proceeds from sales of
     loans originated for resale, partially offset by cash expenditures for
     employees, taxes and other expenses. The $2.3 million of cash provided by
     investing activities was primarily derived from loan and mortgage-backed
     securities prepayments as well as maturities of investment securities,
     partially offset by reinvestment of proceeds into investment securities.
     The $2.5 million used in financing activities relected net deposit
     outflows.

     As of March 31, 1994, the Company's and the Bank's capital ratios were as
     follows:

     Capital ratios:                 Required*   Company     Bank
     ---------------                 ---------   -------     -----
     Leverage ...................       5.00%     11.82%     11.50%
     Core risk-based ............       6.00      24.85      24.16
     Total risk-based ...........      10.00      26.10      25.41

         *  For qualification as a well-capitalized institution.

Rate/Volume Analysis (unaudited)

The Rate/Volume Analysis reflects the extent to which changes in interest rates
and changes in the volume of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing
liabilities have affected the Company's interest income and interest expense
during the periods indicated. Changes attributable to both volume and rate have
been allocated proportionately.
