Note 1--Regulatory Matters

     In May 1995, as a result of a regulatory examination completed in February
1995, the Bank entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with the Federal
Reserve Bank of Philadelphia with regard to, among other things, achievement of
agreed upon capital levels, implementation of a viable earnings plan and
addressing interest rate sensitivity risks. Effective July 26, 1996, the
Memorandum of Understanding was terminated as a result of the Bank's full
compliance with its terms as indicated in an examination completed as of March
31, 1996 and noted improvements in the Bank's policies and procedures, internal
controls and capital position.

Loans

     Average loans increased by approximately $639 million or .99% during the
quarter ended June 30,1996. The increase in loans during this period was
primarily due the origination of more than $1.1 million in commercial loans
during the quarter. Residential mortgage loans have declined approximately $300
thousand to paydowns and refinancings in excess of originations.

Investment Securities and other short-term investments

     Investment securities, increased on average by .96% or $140 thousand during
the quarter ended June 30, 1996. Maturing securities were rolled into callable
agency securities to generate additional yield on the portfolio.

Deposits

     Non-interest bearing demand deposits increased on average by approximately
$1.6 million or 16.78% during the quarter ended June 30, 1996. The increase was
primarily due to increased balances in two new demand deposit product offerings
which began in 1995--the "free" checking and "entrepreneurial-25" checking. In
addition, stricter enforcement of compensating balance arrangements with
commercial loan borrowers has resulted in additional demand deposits.

     In line with the Bank's deposit mix strategy, there was decline in
certificates of deposit while other core deposits increased. In general, to
better control its cost of funds and maximize its net interest margin, the Bank
seeks to replace higher cost certificates with other lower cost core deposit
products.

Loans

     The following table shows the composition of the Bank's loan portfolio by
type loan.

     Residential mortgage loans at June 30, 1996 comprise the greatest
percentage of total loans representing approximately 55.11% of total loans
However, these loans continue to decline as a result of payoffs/paydowns and are
being replaced with commercial loans (primarily SBA guaranteed) and consumer
loans (primarily student loans).

Non-performing and Non-accrual Loans

     The Bank generally determines a loan to be "non-performing" when interest
or principal is past due 90 days or more. If it otherwise appears doubtful that
the loan will be repaid, management may consider the loan to be "non-performing"
before the lapse of 90 days. The Bank's policy is to charge-off unsecured loans
after 90 days past due. Interest on "non-performing" loans ceases to accrue
except for loans which are well collateralized and in the process of collection.
When a loan is placed on non-accrual, previously accrued and unpaid interest is
generally reversed out of income unless adequate collateral from which to
collect the principal of and interest on the loan appears to be available. At
June 30, 1996, non-accrual loans were $765 thousand. Approximately $347 thousand
of the total non-accrual loans were residential mortgages while the remainder
consisted primarily of loans with SBA guarantees.

Commitments and Lines of Credit

     The Bank is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in
the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers.
These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and letters of
credit, which are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the
performance of an obligation of a customer to a third party. Both arrangements
have credit risk essentially the same as that involved in extending loans, and
are subject to the Bank's normal credit policies. Collateral may be obtained
based on management's assessment of the customer. The Bank's exposure to credit
loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial
instruments is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments.

     The Bank's financial instrument commitments at June 30, 1996 are summarized
below:

Commitments to extend credit                     $5,223,000
Outstanding letter of credit                     $  125,000

     Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long
as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Since
many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the
total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.
Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses
and may require payment of a fee.

Liquidity and Interest Rate Sensitivity Management

     The primary functions of asset/liability management are to assure adequate
liquidity and maintain appropriate balance between interest-sensitive earning
assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Liquidity management involves the
ability to meet cash flow requirements of customers who may be either depositors
wanting to withdraw funds or borrowers needing assurance that sufficient funds
will be available to meet their credit needs. Interest rate sensitivity
management seeks to avoid fluctuating net interest margins and to enhance
consistent growth of net interest income through periods of changing interest
rate.

     The Bank's principal source of asset liquidity included marketable
securities consisting principally of U.S. Government and agency issues held in
its "available for sale" investment category and mortgage-backed securities with
monthly repayments of principal and interest. Securities held in the "available
for sale" investment category totaled approximately $6.3 million Other types of
assets such as federal funds sold paydowns on mortgage-backed securities and
residential mortgage loans, as well as maturing loans, are sources of
liquidity. Approximately $1.2 million of the loan portfolio is scheduled to
mature within one year.

     The Bank is required to maintain minimum levels of liquid assets as defined
by FRB regulations. This requirement is evaluated in relation to the composition
and stability of deposits; the degree and trend of reliance on short-term,
volatile sources of funds, including any undue reliance on particular segments
of the money market or brokered deposits; any difficulty in obtaining funds; and
the liquidity provided by securities and other assets. In addition,
consideration is given to the nature, volume and anticipated use of commitments;
the adequacy of liquidity and funding policies and practices, including the
provision for alternate sources of funds; and the nature and trend of
off-balance sheet activities.

     The Bank's overall liquidity has been enhanced by the significant level of
core deposits. Core deposits represented approximately $77 million or 90% of
total deposits at June 30, 1996. The Bank has avoided reliance on large
denomination time deposits as well as brokered deposits.

     Total                                                    $8,156
                                                              ======


     Interest rate sensitivity varies with different types of interest-earning
assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Overnight federal funds on which rates
change daily and loans which are tied to prime or other short term indices
differ considerably from long-term investment securities and fixed-rate loans.
Similarly, time deposits are much more interest sensitive than passbook savings
accounts. The shorter term interest rate sensitivities are key to measuring the
interest sensitivity gap, or excess earning assets over interest-bearing
liabilities. Management of interest sensitivity involves matching repricing
dates of interest-earning assets with interest-bearing liabilities in a manner
designed to optimize net interest income within the limits imposed by regulatory
authorities, liquidity determinations and capital considerations.

     The following table sets forth the maturity distribution of the Bank's
interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities at June 30, 1996, the
Bank's interest rate sensitivity gap ratio (i.e. excess of interest rate
sensitive assets over interest rate sensitive liabilities, divided by total
assets) and the Bank's cumulative interest rate sensitivity gap ratio. For
purposes of the table, except for savings deposits, an asset or liability is
considered rate sensitive within a specified period when it matures or could be
repriced within such period or repriced within such period in accordance with
its contractual terms. At June 30, 1996, an asset sensitive position of +.88% is
maintained on a cumulative basis through 1 year. This is a relatively balanced
position. Generally, because of the Bank's balanced gap position in shorter time
frames, the Bank can anticipate that increases or decreases in market rates will
not have a significant impact on net interest income. During 1995, the Bank
re-evaluated its deposit base to better identify core deposits based on
historical data. For purposes of the gap analysis, such deposits (savings, MMA,
NOW) which do not have definitive maturity dates and do not readily react to
changes in interest rates have been pushed out to longer repricing intervals
versus immediate repricing time frames making the analysis more reflective of
the Bank's historical experience.

Capital Resources

     The Bank maintains an adequate capital base to take advantage of business
opportunities while ensuring that it has resources to absorb the risks inherent
in the business. The Federal Reserve Board's standards for measuring capital
adequacy for U.S. Banking organizations requires that banks maintain capital
based on "risk-adjusted" assets so that categories of assets with potentially
higher risk will require more capital backing than assets with lower risk. In
addition, banks are required to maintain capital to support, on a risk adjusted
basis, certain off-balance sheet activities such as loan commitments.

     The FRB standards classify capital into two tiers, referred to as Tier 1
and Tier 2. Tier 1 consists of common shareholders' equity, non-cumulative and
cumulative perpetual preferred stock, and minority interests less goodwill. Tier
2 capital consists of allowance for loan losses, hybrid capital instruments,
term subordinated debt, and intermediate-term preferred stock. Banks are
required to meet a minimum ratio of 8% of qualifying capital to risk-adjusted
total assets with at least 4% Tier 1 capital. Capital that qualifies as Tier 2
capital is limited to 100% of Tier 1 capital. The FRB requires "de novo" banks
to maintain a primary capital ratio of 9%. As of March 23, 1995, the Bank's
third year anniversary, the Bank was no longer considered "de novo" by the FRB
for purposes of capital requirements. Therefore, the Bank must meet only the
normal minimum ratios outlined above.

     As indicated in the table below, the Bank's risk based capital ratios are
well above the minimum requirements Although the Tier 1 Risk-based Capital ratio
has slightly declined, it remains above the 4.0% minimum regulatory guideline.
The decline in this ratio is primarily attributable to growth in average assets
and an increase in the accumulated deficit as a result of losses the Bank
incurred during the quarter ended June 30, 1996. Management continues the
objective of raising additional capital by offering 


8
<PAGE>

additional stock (preferred and common) for sale to the public as well as
increasing the rate of internal capital growth as a means of maintaining the
required capital ratios. As of June 30, 1996, the Company had raised
approximately $53 thousand in additional capital through the exercise of
warrants and the purchase of additional common stock. The Company and the Bank
do not anticipate paying dividends in the near future.

Results of Operations

Summary

     The Bank had a net loss of approximately $120 thousand for the quarter
ended June 30, 1996 compared with a loss of approximately $189 thousand for the
same quarter in 1996. The decline in the loss is primarily attributable to an
increased level net interest income--from $941 thousand for the quarter ended
June 30, 1995 to $1.045 for the same quarter in 1996 as result of increased
earning assets and a higher level of noninterest bearing accounts. In addition,
there was an increased level of noninterest income--from $181 thousand in 1995
to $257 thousand in 1996. Customer service fees accounted for most of the
increase as the number of transactional accounts increased significantly during
1996 as a result of new checking account products and compensating balance
requirements. On a per common share basis, there was a decline in the loss from
($.25) at June 30, 1995 to ($.15) at June 30,1996.

Net Interest Income

     Net interest income is an effective measure of how well management has
balanced the Bank's interest rate sensitive assets and liabilities. Net interest
income, the difference between (a) interest and fees on interest earning assets
and interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities, is a significant component of
the Bank's earnings. Changes in net interest income result primarily from
increases or decreases in the average balances of interest earning assets, the
availability of particular sources of funds and changes in prevailing interest
rates.

     Net interest income was $1.045 million for the quarter ending June 30, 1996
compared to $955 thousand for the same quarter in 1996. The primary determinants
of the increase was the increase in average earning assets from $86.4 million
for the quarter ended June 30, 1995 to $90.9 million for the quarter ended June
30, 1996. The increase was primarily in new loan originations funded by
noninterest bearing demand deposit accounts which resulted in higher net
interest margin spreads. The net interest margin was 4.74% at June 30, 1995
compared to 4.84% at June 30, 1996.

Provision for Loan Losses

     The provision for loan losses is an expense charged against operating
income and added to the allowance for loan losses. The allowance for loan losses
represents funds which have been set aside for the specific purpose of absorbing
losses which may occur in the Bank's loan portfolio.

9

<PAGE>


     The allowance for loan losses reflects management's ongoing evaluation of
the risks inherent in the loan portfolio, both generally and with respect to
specific loans and the state of the economy. It is the Bank's practice to
maintain an allowance based on the classification of its portfolio which equals
at a minimum the sum of the following: 100% of all loans classified as "loss";
50% of all loans classified as "doubtful", 20% of all loans classified as
"substandard"; and 10% of all loans classified as "watch".

     The allowance as a percentage of total loans was .78% at June 30, 1996,
which is consistent with December 1995, but below the 1.08% level as of June 30,
1995. The reduction in the allowance is due to charge-offs and a change in the
mix of the Bank's loan portfolio toward an increasing percentage of residential
mortgage loans, Small Business Administration (SBA) guaranteed loans and
guaranteed student loans for which the exposure is minimized due to collateral
or other related guarantee features Although no assurance can be given that
actual losses will not exceed the amount provided for in the allowance,
management believes that the allowance is adequate in light of all known
relevant factors. There was a net provision of $22,500 made to the allowance for
loan losses during the quarter ended June 30, 1996 compared to $15,000 for the
same quarter in 1995. The net charge-offs during the quarter ended June 30, 1996
were approximately $13 thousand.


Noninterest Income

     The amount of the Bank's noninterest income generally reflects the volume
of the transactional and other accounts handled by the Bank and includes such
fees and charges as low balance account charge, overdrafts, account analysis,
and other customer service fees. Deposit related noninterest income increased
from .76% of average total assets to 1% from the quarter ended June 30, 1995 to
the quarter ended June 30, 1996. The increase is primarily attributable to an
increase in transactional deposit accounts as a result of new successful product
offerings--"free" checking" and "entrepreneurial-25" checking as well as
enforcement of compensating balance arrangements.

Noninterest expense

     Salaries and benefits represented 40% and 44% of the total noninterest
expense for the quarters ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively. The level
of salary and benefits decreased as a result of attrition and streamlining of
staffing levels.

     Data processing expenses represented 17.3% and 11.3% of the total
noninterest expense for the quarters ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
In general, data processing expenses are a result of the Bank's management
decision to out source data processing to third party processors the bulk of its
data processing. Such expenses are reflective of the high level of accounts
being serviced for which the Bank is charged a per account charge by processors.
The increase for the quarter ended June 30, 1996 compared to the same quarter in
1995 is primarily attributable to an increased level of student loans for which
the Bank pays an outside vendor to process. In addition, the Bank uses outside
loan servicing companies to service its mortgage, credit card, and installment
loan portfolios.

     Occupancy and equipment expense increased approximately $28,000 from the
quarter ended June 30, 1995 compared to the quarter ended June 30, 1996. This
increase is primarily attributed to annual escalations in lease payments and new
maintenance contract entered into to service the Bank's growing ATM network.

     The Bank's deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation (FDIC). As such, the Bank pays an annual assessment rate based on
its risk classification which is determined by the Bank's capital adequacy. At
December 31, 1995, the Bank's risk classification was "well capitalized" which
resulted in the lowest assessment available. There are two funds under FDIC
administration--the Bank Insurance 


10


<PAGE>

Fund (BIF) which covers the deposits of commercial banks and the Savings
Association Insurance Fund (SAIF) which covers deposits of savings and loan
institutions. Because the Bank acquired deposits of failed savings and loan
institutions from the RTC which, in aggregate, exceeded the level of deposits
remaining at December 31, 1995 and 1994, all of its deposits are deemed
insurable under SAIF. Until June 1995, the rates for BIF and SAIF funds were the
same. In June 1995, BIF was considered re-capitalized and, as a result, all
institutions insured under this fund experienced significant reductions in their
assessment rates. Because the Bank's deposits are insured under SAIF, which is
not expected to be re-capitalized until the Year 2000, the Bank continues to pay
an assessment of 23 basis points versus 3 basis points which it would pay under
the current BIF assessment for well capitalized institutions. The current SAIF
assessment rate resulted in a charge to earnings during the quarter ended June
30, 1996 of approximately $50,000. A similar assessment under BIF would have
been under $10,000. The Bank is in the process of appealing the classification
of its deposits under SAIF, as at the time of acquisition of branches from the
RTC, it had over $30 million in deposits accumulated and insurable under BIF.
Further, since its acquisition of deposits from the RTC, a significant amount of
these deposits have run-off.

All other expenses are reflective of the general cost to do business in the
current regulatory environment and maintenance of adequate insurance coverage.

     Results of operations can be measured by various ratio analysis. Two widely
recognized performance indicators are the return on equity and the return on
assets. The Bank's return on equity increased from (9.48%) to (6.48%) for the
quarters ended June 30, 1995 and 1996, respectively. In addition, the Bank's
return on assets increased from (.73%) to (.52%) for the quarters ended June 30,
1995 and 1996, respectively.

                           PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

     Litigation is pending against the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation,
successor in interest to the Resolution Trust Corporation ("RTC"), initiated by
the Bank, for breach of contract. United Bank of Philadelphia (Plaintiff) and
the Resolution Trust Corporation (Defendant) are the sole parties to the suit
filed on March 31, 1995 in the Federal District Court for the Eastern District
of Pennsylvania. The Plaintiff alleges that a contract entered into with the
Defendant requires that the Defendant pay the Plaintiff accrued interest on a
designated loan portfolio from the date 45 days after the resolution of the
former Ukrainian Federal Savings and Loan Association, a branch of which was
purchased by the Plaintiff on June 21, 1994, through December 21, 1994.
Defendant argues that the interest due pursuant to the contract should be
reduced by the fed funds rate applicable to that time period.

     The case was heard by the Federal District Court for the Eastern District
of Pennsylvania in April, 1996. The case resulted in a hung jury. As a result,
no verdict was rendered. The Bank and the RTC have agreed to settle the case
upon a payment by the RTC's successor in interest, the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation to the Bank of $90 thousand. The terms of a formal settlement
agreement have not been fully negotiated. Upon final negotiation and execution
of a definitive settlement agreement, the Bank intends to withdraw its case.

Item 2. Working Capital Restrictions on Payment of Dividends.

     The holders of the Common Stock are entitled to such dividends as may be
declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available therefor under
the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Under the Pennsylvania Banking
Code of 1965, funds available for cash dividend payments by a bank are
restricted to accumulated net earnings and if the surplus of a Bank is less than
the amount of its capital the Registrant shall, until surplus is equal to such
amount, transfer to surplus an amount which is at least 10% of the net earnings
of the Registrant for the period since the end of the last fiscal year or any
shorter period since the declaration of a dividend. If the surplus of a bank is
less than 50% of the amount of its capital, no dividend may be declared or paid
by the bank without prior approval of the Secretary of Banking of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

     Under the Federal Reserve Act, if a bank has sustained losses up to or
exceeding its undivided profits, no dividend shall be paid, and no dividends can
ever be paid in an amount greater than such bank's net profits less losses and
bad debts. Cash dividends must be approved by the Federal Reserve Board if the
total of all cash dividends declared by a bank in any calendar year, including
the proposed cash dividend, exceeds the total of the Registrant's net profits
for that year plus its retained net profits from the preceding two years, less
any required transfers to surplus or to a fund for the retirement of preferred
stock. Under the Federal Reserve Act, the Board has the power to prohibit the
payment of cash dividends by a bank if it determines that such a payment would
be an unsafe or unsound banking practice.


<PAGE>



     The Federal Deposit Insurance act generally prohibits all payments of
dividends a bank which is in default of any assessment to the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation.

Item 3.  Defaults Upon Senior Securities.

     (a) There has been no material default in the payment of principal,
interest, a sinking or purchase fund installment, or any material default with
respect to any indebtedness of the Registrant exceeding five percent of the
total assets of the Registrant.

     (b) There have been no material arrearage or delinquencies as discussed in
Item 3(b). Registrant has declared and issued a Series A Preferred Stock, no
obligations pursuant to those securities have become due.

has served in this capacity since the Bank's inception. In connection with the
audit function, Ernst & Young, LLP also reviewed the Registrant's annual report
to shareholders and filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and
Federal Reserve Board. Neither Ernst & Young, LLP nor any of its partners has
any direct or material indirect financial interest in the Bank.
