quarter-end was $73.6 million, $3.3 million, or 4%, below the $76.9 million
reported at December 31, 1999.

Noninterest income for the first quarter of 2000 was $52.2 million, a 14%
increase over the $45.6 million reported for the same quarter of last year.

Operating expenses for the first quarter of 2000 were $64.6 million, a 17%
increase above the $55.0 million reported for the first quarter of last year.

Return on assets for the three months ended March 31, 2000, on an annualized
basis, was 1.74%, down from the 1.88% reported for the corresponding period a
year ago. Return on stockholders' equity, also on an annualized basis, was
24.57%, as compared with 22.10% for the first three months of 1999.

STATEMENT OF CONDITION
----------------------

Total assets at March 31, 2000 were $7.22 billion, up $16.0 million over the
$7.20 billion reported at December 31, 1999. Total earning assets decreased
$25.9 million over the same period of time, to $6.64 billion, as decreases in
investment securities offset increases in the loan portfolio.

Total loans at March 31, 2000 were $4.97 billion, an increase of $147.3 million,
or 3%, over the December 31, 1999 level of $4.82 billion. Contributing to this
increase were commercial loans of $1.58 billion, which rose $63.4 million, or
4%, over their December 31, 1999 level; commercial construction loans of $342.5
million, which rose $38.8 million, or 13%; residential mortgage loans of $984.7
million, which rose $16.5 million, or 2%; and consumer loans of $1.14 billion,
which rose $35.0 million, or 3%. Over half of the loan portfolio growth was from
activity in the southeastern Pennsylvania market.

The investment portfolio at March 31, 2000 was $1.62 billion, a decrease of
$95.2 million, or 6%, from the December 31, 1999 level of $1.72 billion.
Contributing to this decrease were U.S. Treasury and government agency
securities, which decreased $67.0 million, or 7%, to $942.7 million, preferred
stocks, which decreased $16.6 million, or 12%, to $125.9 million, and
asset-backed securities, which decreased $13.0 million, or 4%, to $348.9
million.

Interest-bearing liabilities at quarter-end were $5.67 billion, $37.8 million,
or 1%, above the year-end level of $5.63 billion. Total deposits during the
first three months of 2000 increased $181.7 million, while short-term borrowings
decreased $194.4 million. A $259.9 million increase in certificates of deposit
$100,000

and over was offset, in part, by a decrease in certificates of deposit under
$100,000 and non-interest-bearing demand deposits which decreased $72.6 million
and $50.6 million, respectively. The higher overall level of deposits at
quarter-end decreased the Corporation's dependence on short-term borrowings,
which resulted in lower levels of Federal funds purchased, reverse repurchase
agreements and U.S. Treasury demand balances.

Shareholders' equity at March 31, 2000 was $506.3 million, $8.0 million, or 2%,
over the 1999 year-end level. Earnings of $30.6 million and $2.0 million in new
stock issued during that period were offset, in part, by $13.5 million in cash
dividends, the repurchase of $8.6 million of treasury stock and a $2.4 million
valuation reserve adjustment for the investment portfolio.

NET INTEREST INCOME
-------------------

Net interest income for the first quarter of 2000 on a fully tax-equivalent
("FTE") basis was $65.6 million. This was a $5.8 million, or 10%, increase over
the $59.8 million reported for the first quarter of 1999.

Interest income (FTE) for the first quarter of 2000 increased $18.5 million, or
17%, to $127.9 million from $109.4 million for the first quarter of 1999.
Contributing to this improvement was a $774.8 million increase in the average
level of earning assets, which added $14.8 million to interest revenues. This
was complemented by the higher interest rate environment, which added an
additional $3.7 million to interest revenues for the quarter. The average rate
earned on the Corporation's earning assets during the first quarter of 2000
increased 10 basis points, from 7.60% to 7.70%.

Interest expense for the first quarter of 2000 also increased, rising $12.8
million, or 26%, to $62.3 million. Interest-bearing liabilities, on average,
rose $750.7 million over their level of a year ago. This increase in
interest-bearing liabilities contributed an additional $10.2 million to interest
expense, while the higher rate environment added another $2.6 million to
quarterly interest expense. The average rate the Corporation paid for its funds
during the first quarter of 2000 was 3.76%, compared to 3.46% for the first
quarter of 1999.

The Corporation's net interest margin for the first quarter of 2000 was 3.94%,
20 basis points below the 4.14% reported for the first quarter of a year ago.
This decline was driven, in part, by the Corporation's use of the national
certificate of deposit markets to fund its balance sheet growth. The following
two tables present comparative net interest income data and a rate-volume
analysis of changes in net interest income for the first quarters of 2000 and
1999, respectively.

NON-INTEREST REVENUES AND OPERATING EXPENSES
--------------------------------------------

Non-interest revenues for the first quarter of 2000 were $52.2 million, an
increase of $6.6 million, or 14%, over those for the first quarter of a year
ago, due primarily to higher trust and asset management fees.

Trust and asset management fees for the first quarter of 2000 increased 4.3
million, or 12%, to $40.3 million. Private client advisory services fees for the
quarter rose $2.0 million, or 12%, to $17.8 million. Corporate financial
services fees increased $2.0 million, or 18%, to $13.1 million. Asset management
fees for the quarter rose $326,000, or 4%, to $9.5 million.

Service charges on deposit accounts for the first quarter were $6.2 million, 15%
above those of a year ago. Increased transaction fees associated with checking
accounts and automated teller machine usage contributed to this increase.

Card fees and other operating income for the first quarter were $4.2 million.
This was an increase of $98,000, or 2%, over the $4.1 million reported for the
first quarter of 1999. Increased loan origination and late charge fees, up
$98,000, were responsible for this increase.

Operating expenses for the first quarter of 2000 increased $9.5 million, or 17%,
to $64.6 million. Total personnel expenses for the quarter increased $7.9
million, or 23%, to $41.7 million. Contributing to this increase were higher
compensation costs and expansion activity in California, New York and
Pennsylvania. Salaries and wages increased 23.4%, reflecting higher incentive
compensation and an additional $1.9 million in salary expense associated with
the Corporation's shift in 1999 from 24 to 26 pay periods per year. Net
occupancy expense rose $530,000, or 17%, due to higher costs associated with the
leasing of offices in expansion markets as well as higher levels of depreciation
on leasehold improvements. Furniture and equipment expense for the quarter rose
$1.2 million, or 27%, as higher data processing maintenance costs and
depreciation expense reflected the Corporation's continued investment in new
technology.


Income tax expense for the first three months of 2000 increased $1.0 million, or
7%, to $15.2 million. Approximately $983,000, or 97%, of this increase was
Federal income tax. The Corporation's effective tax rate for the first quarter
of 2000 was 33.23%, compared to 32.78% for the first three months of 1999.


LIQUIDITY
---------

A financial institution's liquidity represents its ability to meet, in a timely
manner, cash flow requirements that may arise. Liquidity of the asset side of
the balance sheet is provided by the maturity and marketability of loans, money
market assets and investments. Liquidity of the liability side of the balance
sheet is usually provided through a stable base of core deposits.

The Corporation's quarter-end liquidity ratio, calculated in accordance with
regulatory requirements of the FDIC, was 24.66%. Management believes that
maturities of the Corporation's investment securities, other readily marketable
assets and external sources of funds offer more than adequate liquidity to meet
any cash flow requirements that may arise. Sources of funds have historically
consisted of deposits, amortization and prepayments of outstanding loans,
maturities of investment securities, borrowings and interest income. Management
monitors the Corporation's existing and projected liquidity requirements on an
ongoing basis, and implements appropriate strategies when deemed necessary.

ASSET QUALITY AND LOAN LOSS PROVISION
-------------------------------------

The Corporation's provision for loan losses for the first quarter of 2000 was
$5.5 million, $500,000, or 10%, above the amount provided for the first quarter
of 1999. The reserve for loan losses at March 31, 2000 was $73.6 million, a
decrease of $3.3 million, or 4%, from the $76.9 million reported at December 31,
1999. The reserve as a percentage of total period-end loans outstanding was
1.48%, down from the year-end level of 1.60%. Net chargeoffs for the first three
months of 2000 were $8.8 million, an increase of $5.0 million, or 174%, over
those for the corresponding period of 1999. These included a chargeoff of $5.0
million taken in connection with $15.9 million in credits to a borrower placed
in nonaccrual status in the first quarter described below.

</TABLE>

Nonaccruing loans at March 31, 2000 were $41.7 million, an increase of $12.5
million, or 43%, over the $29.2 million reported at December 31, 1999. This
includes $15.9 million of credits to a borrower about which the Corporation had
serious doubt at December 31, 1999 that were placed in nonaccrual status in
March of 2000. Other real estate owned, which is reported as a component of
other assets in the Consolidated Statements of Condition, consists of assets
that have been acquired through foreclosure. These assets are recorded on the
books of the Corporation at the lower of their cost or the estimated fair value
less cost to sell, adjusted periodically based upon current appraisals. Other
real estate owned at March 31, 2000 was $537,000, a decrease of $40,000, or 7%,
from the December 31, 1999 level of $576,000. Nonperforming assets (other real
estate owned plus nonaccrual loans) at March 31, 2000 totaled $42.2 million, or
 .85% of period-end loans outstanding. This was an increase of $12.5 million, or
42%, over the $29.8 million, or .62% of period-end loans outstanding, reported
at December 31, 1999. As a result of the Corporation's ongoing monitoring of its
loan portfolio, at March 31, 2000, approximately $51.2 million of its loans were
identified that are either currently performing in accordance with their terms
or are less than 90 days past due but for which, in management's opinion,
serious doubt exists as to the borrowers' ability to continue to repay their
loans in full on a timely basis.

The reserve for loan losses at quarter-end was 1.77 times the level of
nonaccrual loans. Management believes the reserve is adequate, based upon
currently available information. The Corporation's determination of the adequacy
of its reserve is based upon an evaluation of its classified loans and other
assets, past loss experience, current economic and real estate market conditions
and any regulatory recommendations.

CAPITAL RESOURCES
-----------------

A strong capital position provides a margin of safety for both depositors and
stockholders, enables a financial institution to take advantage of profitable
opportunities and provides for future growth. The Corporation's total risk-based
capital ratio at the end of the first quarter of 2000 was 10.67%, and its core
(Tier 1) leveraged capital ratio was 5.52%. The corresponding ratios at year-end
1999 were 10.67% and 5.65%, respectively. Both of these ratios are above the
current regulatory minimums of 8.00% and 4.00%, respectively.

Management monitors the Corporation's capital position and will make adjustments
as needed to insure that the capital base will satisfy existing and impending
regulatory requirements, as well as meet appropriate standards of safety and
provide for future growth.


OTHER INFORMATION

Accounting Pronouncements

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities." Adoption of this accounting pronouncement
is required for all fiscal quarters of all fiscal years beginning after June 15,
1999. In June 1999, the FASB's SFAS No. 137, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities - Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB
Statement No. 133," extended the pronouncement's effective date. The Corporation
plans to adopt the provisions of this statement, as amended, beginning January
1, 2001, which is the new effective date. The statement will require the
Corporation to recognize all derivatives on its balance sheet at their fair
value. Derivatives which are not hedges must be adjusted to fair value through
income. If a derivative is a hedge, depending on the nature of the hedge,
changes in the fair value of the derivative either will be offset against the
change in fair value of the hedged assets, liabilities or firm commitments
through earnings, or recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged
item is recognized in earnings. The ineffective portion of a derivative's change
in fair value will be recognized in earnings immediately. The impact of adoption
of SFAS No. 133 on the Corporation's financial position, results of operations
and cash flows is not presently determinable and will depend on the financial
position and the nature and purpose of the derivative instruments in use at that
time.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk


Net interest income is an important determinant of the Corporation's financial
performance. Through interest rate sensitivity management, the Corporation seeks
to maximize the growth of net interest income on a consistent basis by
minimizing the effects of fluctuations associated with changing market interest
rates.

The Corporation employs simulation models to measure the effect of variations in
interest rates on net interest income. The composition of assets, liabilities
and off-balance-sheet instruments and their respective repricing and maturity
characteristics are evaluated in assessing the Corporation's exposure to changes
in interest rates.

Net interest income is projected using multiple interest rate scenarios. The
results are compared to net interest income projected using stable interest
rates. The Corporation's model employs interest rate scenarios in which interest
rates gradually move up or down 250 basis points. The simulation model

                                       21
<PAGE>   22
projects, as of March 31, 2000, that a gradual 250-basis point increase in
market interest rates would reduce net interest income by 6.9% over a one-year
period. This figure compares to a projected decrease at December 31, 1999 of
5.5%. If interest rates were to gradually decrease 250 basis points, the
simulation model projects, as of March 31, 2000, that net interest income would
increase 3.0% over a one-year period. This figure compares to a projected
decrease at December 31, 1999 of 2.9%. The Corporation's policy limits the
permitted reduction in projected net interest income to 10% over a one-year
period, given a change in interest rates.

The preceding paragraph contains certain forward-looking statements regarding
the anticipated effects on the Corporation's net interest income resulting from
hypothetical changes in market interest rates. The assumptions that the
Corporation uses regarding the effects of changes in interest rates on the
adjustment of retail deposit rates and the balances of residential mortgages,
asset-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs) play a
significant role in the results the simulation model projects. The adjustment
paths are not assumed to be symmetrical.

The Corporation's model employs assumptions that reflect the historical
adjustment paths of the Corporation's retail deposit rates to changes in the
level of market interest rates. In addition, some of the Corporation's retail
deposit rates reach historic lows within the 250-basis point decline scenario.
The Corporation's model freezes the rates for these deposit products when they
equal their historic lows. These model assumptions (asymmetrical adjustments and
rate floors based on new historic lows) limit the extent to which deposit rates
are expected to adjust in a declining rate scenario and contribute to the
projected simulation results.

Changes in the balances of residential mortgages, CMOs and asset-backed
securities are driven by contractual obligations and prepayments. While
contractual obligations are not typically influenced by changes in interest
rates, prepayment activity (including refinancing) can shift dramatically with
changes in interest rates. The Corporation's prepayment assumptions are based on
industry estimates for loans with similar coupons and remaining maturities. A
250-basis point decline in interest rates can lead to a significant increase in
prepayments when available reinvestment opportunities of similar risk carry
lower returns. Conversely, should interest rates rise 250 basis points, the same
balances are not likely to prepay at the same rate, but instead are likely to
lengthen in effective maturity as debtors elect not to prepay and to retain
these now below-market credit terms for as long as possible. Holders of
mortgages, asset-backed securities and CMOs are left with returns below those
prevailing in the current environment. This prepayment-driven effect also
contributes to the projected simulation results.

During the first quarter of 2000, the Corporation sold certain fixed-rate
residential mortgage loans into the secondary market. The primary goal of this
program is to reduce the risk that the average duration of these fixed-rate
residential mortgage loans would extend well beyond the duration that was
anticipated at origination, as frequently occurs during periods of rising
interest rates. Mortgage loans sold during the first quarter of 2000 totaled
$24.2 million.

Management reviews the Corporation's rate sensitivity regularly, and may employ
a variety of strategies as needed to adjust that sensitivity. These include
changing the relative proportions of fixed-rate and floating-rate assets and
liabilities, as well as utilizing off-balance-sheet measures such as interest
rate swaps and interest rate floors.

At March 31, 2000, the Corporation was not committed to any interest rate swaps.
At March 31, 2000, the Corporation was committed to interest rate floors with a
total notional amount of $125 million, down from the $225 million at year-end
1999. The floors have remaining maturities of between 4 and 27 months, with a
weighted average maturity of 16.8 months. The net interest differential, the
amortization of the initial fees associated with the purchase of the floors and
any gains recorded on sale are reported under the caption "Interest and fees on
loans" and are recognized over the lives of the respective instruments. See "Net
Interest Income."

                  On January 19, 2000, the Corporation issued to a total of 31
                  individuals not full-time employees of the Corporation
                  non-statutory stock options to acquire a total of 30,000

                  these options will be used for general corporate purposes. The
                  shares underlying the options are anticipated to be registered
