                        USABANCSHARES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

                       MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

                 OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

                                    JUNE 30, 1996

    The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements and related notes and with the statistical
information and financial data appearing in this report as well as the Company's
1995 Annual Report on Form 10-KSB. Results of operations for the six month
period ended June 30, 1996 are compared to the unaudited results of operations,
of the Bank, only, for the period ended June 30, 1995. Such information is based
upon the historical financial information available as of that date. Results of
operations for the six month period ended June 30, 1996 are not necessarily
indicative of results to be attained for any other period.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
NET INCOME 

    The Company reported net income of $67,259, or $.11 per share, for the six
months ended June 30, 1996.  This represents a 400.3% increase in net income,
and a corresponding 400.3% increase in earnings per share as compared to
($22,397) or ($.04) per share loss, for the six months ended June 30, 1995. 
Increased net income was primarily the result of increased net interest margins
enhanced by interest earning asset growth.  Noninterest income rose mainly due
to a gain on the sale of an investment security.  Expenses increased mainly due
to costs associated with the hiring of additional employees as well as the
production of additional earning assets.

NET INTEREST INCOME

    Net interest income is the difference between interest income (principally
from loans and investment securities) and interest expense (principally on
customer deposits and borrowings).  Changes in net interest income result from
changes in volume, net interest spread and net interest margin.  Volume refers
to the average dollar level of interest-earning assets and interest bearing
liabilities.  Net interest spread refers to the differences between the average
yield on interest-earning assets and the average cost of interest-bearing
liabilities.  Net interest margin refers to net interest income divided by
average interest-earning assets and is influenced by the level and relative mix
of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.  The company's
profitability, like that of many financial institutions, is dependent to a large
extent upon net interest income.  Since the company is asset sensitive, because
interest-earning assets mature or reprice more quickly than interest-bearing
liabilities in a given period, a significant decrease in the market rates of
interest could adversely affect net interest income.  In contrast, a rising
interest rate environment could favorably impact the company's margin. Net
interest income for the six months ended June 30, 1996, increased $553,758 or
250.84%, to $774,519 from $220,761 for the same period in 1995.   Average
interest-earning assets increased by $6.9 million, or 33.71%, to $27.3 million,
for the six months ended June 30, 1996 compared to the same period in 1995.  
Average interest-bearing liabilities increased $2.3 million or 11.78% over the
same period.  The average net interest spread increased from 1.88% to 5.30%,
which was caused by the increase in average earning assets as discussed above.
The company's net interest margin for the six months ended June 30, 1996 was
6.15%, an increase of 398 basis points from 2.17% for the comparable period of
1995. The improvement was primarily related to the higher volumes of earning
assets during the six months ended June 30, 1996 compared  to  the same period
in 1995.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES
 
    Management records the provision for loan losses in amounts that result in
an allowance for loan losses sufficient to cover all potential net charge-offs
and risks believed to be inherent in the loan portfolio.  Management's
evaluation includes such factors as past loan loss experience as related to
current loan portfolio mix, evaluation of actual and potential losses in the
loan portfolio, prevailing regional and national economic conditions that might
have an impact on the portfolio, regular reviews and examinations of the loan
portfolio conducted by bank regulatory authorities, and other factors that
management believes deserve current recognition. 

    As a result of these factors, the provision for loan losses increased
$75,000 during the quarter ended June 30, 1996. The allowance for loan losses as
a percentage of loans and leases outstanding was 1.15% at June 30, 1996,
compared to .85% at year-end 1995 and .26% at June 30, 1995. Management believes
that the allowance for loan losses, which is a general reserve, is adequate to
cover actual and potential losses in the loan portfolio under current
conditions.

                                      11

<PAGE>


    Other than as previously noted, management is not aware of any significant
risks in the current loan portfolio due to concentrations of loans within any
particular industry, nor of any separate types of loans within a particular
category of non-performing loans that are unusually significant as to possible
loan losses when compared to the entire loan portfolio. No charge-offs on loans
were recorded during the second quarter of 1996 or for the comparable quarter in
1995.

INTEREST EXPENSE

    Total interest expense increased $94,004, or 20.44%, compared to the
comparable period in 1995 due to both higher volumes of certificates of deposit
and higher rates paid on those new volumes. The average cost of funds, including
other borrowings, was 5.25% for the first six months of 1996 compared to 4.80%
over the same period in 1995.   

NONINTEREST INCOME
 
    Noninterest income increased $69,598 in the first six months of 1996
compared to the same six months of 1995.    Gains on sales of securities
classified as available for sale increased $22,063 during the period.  Service
charges on deposit accounts, other service charges, letter of credit fees and
other miscellaneous income accounted for the additional $47,535 during the
period.     

OTHER EXPENSE
 
    Other expense increased $459,900 in the first six months of 1996 compared to
the first six months of 1995. Compensation expense increased $284,542 in this
comparison mainly as a result of additions to staff early in the first quarter
of 1996.  In addition, occupancy expense increased $15,401 as a result of rental
of additional space for corporate offices.  Office, travel and entertainment,
advertising, and depreciation and amortization expenses increased $80,729 due to
the increased efforts to attract additional customers.  The  increase of $23,735
in professional fees was primarily due to the aquisition of approximately $4.3
million of loans from the FDIC, during second quarter.   

LIQUIDITY 

    The Company's primary sources of funds are customer deposits, maturities of
investment securities, sales of "Available for Sale" securities, loan sales,
loan repayments, net income, advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of
Pittsburgh, and the use of Federal Funds markets. Scheduled loan repayments are
relatively stable sources of funds while deposit inflows and unscheduled loan
prepayments are not.  Deposit inflows and unscheduled loan prepayments are
influenced by general interest rate levels, interest rates available on other
investments, competition, economic conditions, and other factors.

    Deposits are the Company's primary source of new funds.  Total deposits 
were approximately $21.5 million at June 30, 1996, up from approximately 
$20.8 million at December 31, 1995.  A concerted effort has been made to 
attract deposits in the market area it serves through competitive pricing and 
delivery of a quality product.  Increases over the period are due to  
marketing efforts, and new business development programs initiated by 
Company. Management anticipates that the Company will continue relying on 
customer deposits, maturity of investment securities, sales of "Available for 
Sale" securities, loan sales, loan repayments, net income, Federal Funds 
markets, and Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") borrowings to provide liquidity. 
 Although deposit balances have shown historical growth, such balances may be 
influenced by changes in the banking industry, interest rates available on 
other investments, general economic conditions, competition and other 
factors. 

                                      12

<PAGE>

    Borrowings may be used on a short-term basis to compensate for reductions 
in other sources of funds. Borrowings may also be used on a long-term basis 
to support expanded lending activities and to match maturities or repricing 
intervals of assets.  The sources of such funds will be Federal Funds 
purchased and borrowings from the FHLB.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

    Both the Company and its subsidiary bank are required to comply with 
certain "risk-based" capital adequacy guidelines issued by the Federal 
Reserve Bank ("FRB") (for the Company) and the FDIC (for the subsidiary). The 
risk-based capital guidelines assign varying risk weights to the individual 
assets held by a bank. The guidelines also assign weights to the 
"credit-equivalent" amounts of certain off-balance sheet items, such as 
letters of credit and interest rate and currency swap contracts. Under these 
guidelines, institutions are expected to meet minimum ratios for "qualifying 
total capital" and tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of 8% and 4% 
respectively and a minimum leverage ratio (the ratio of tier 1 capital to 
total average assets) of 3% plus an additional cushion of between 1% and 2%.
As used in the guidelines, "tier 1 capital" includes common stockholders' 
equity, certain qualifying perpetual preferred stock and minority interests 
in the equity accounts of consolidated subsidiaries, less goodwill. "Tier 2 
capital" components (limited in the aggregate to one-half of total qualifying 
capital) include allowances for credit losses (within limits), certain excess 
levels of preferred stock and certain types of "hybrid" capital instruments, 
subordinated debt and other preferred stock. The subordinated debt component 
of tier 2 capital is reduced by 20% per year over the last five years of the 
term of the subordinated debt. The following table sets forth the regulatory 
capital ratios of the Company and its subsidiary Peoples Thrift Savings Bank 
as of June 30, 1996, together with the minimum ratios required under the 
regulation for an institution to be deemed "well capitalized". At June 30, 
1996, both the Company and its subsidiary were considered "well capitalized" 
under FDIC regulations.
