                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
               (Information as of and for the three and six months
                       ended June 30, 1997 is unaudited)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The unaudited consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 1997, and for the
three and six month periods ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 include the accounts of
USABancShares, Inc. (the "Company") and its wholly-owned subsidiares Peoples
Thrift Savings Bank (the "Bank") and USACapital, Inc. (USACapital). All
significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

The interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles for interim financial information. Accordingly,
they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally
accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion
of management, all adjustments including normal recurring accruals necessary for
fair presentation of results of operations for the interim periods included
herein have been made. The results of operations for the three and six months
ended June 30, 1997, are not necessarily indicative of results to be anticipated
for the full year.

2. PER SHARE DATA

Income per common share data is based on the weighted average number of shares
outstanding of 600,590 and 597,082 at June 30, 1997 and 1996 respectively.

3. ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

The Allowance for Loan Losses is established through a provision for loan losses
charged to expenses. The allowance is an amount that management believes will be
adequate to to absorb possible losses on existing loans that may become
uncollectible, based on evaluations of the collectibility of loans and prior
loan loss experience. Loans are charged against the allowance for loan losses
when management believes that the collectibility of the principal is unlikely.
While management usues available information to recognize losses on loans,
future additions to the allowance may be necessary based on changes in economic
conditions. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of
thier examination process, periodically review the Bank's allowance for loan
losses based on thier judgements about information available to them at the time
of thier examinations.

4. RECENT PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 1996, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers and
Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities," which provides
new accounting and reporting standards for sales, securitizations, servicing of
financial assets and extinguishment of liabilities. The Company adopted this
statement on January 1, 1997. The adoption of SFAS No. 125 did not have a
material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

5. ACQUISITIONS

On April 11, 1997, the Company consummated the acquisition of the Knox Financial
Services Group, Inc. ("Knox"), a registered securities broker/dealer. The
Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Knox in
exchange for 7,894 restricted shares of the Company's common stock. Knox has
been renamed USACapital, Inc. ("USACapital"). USACapital conducts Knox's retail
brokerage business under the direction of its current principals.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

The Company's total assets increased from $38.1 million at December 31, 1996 to
$48.3 million at June 30, 1997, an increase of $10.2 million, or 24.6%. The
increase was due primarily to increases in the loan and investment portfolios of
$4.3 million and $4.0 million, respectively. This growth was funded primarily by
increases in money market and certificate of deposit accounts. Total deposits
increased $10.6 million to $38.6 million at June 30, 1997, due primarily to
increases in money market and certificates of deposit accounts of $2.8 million
and $7.7 million, respectively.

                                       8
<PAGE>

Borrowed funds consist primarily of ("Advances") from the Federal Home Loan Bank
(the "FHLB") with both fixed and variable interest rates. Total borrowed funds
decreased to $4.2 million at June 30, 1997 compared to $5.1 million at December
31, 1996. Management plans to continue to utilize FHLB advances in conjunction
with deposit expansion to provide the necessary funding for the Bank's continued
growth.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

NET INCOME

The Company reported net income of $159,993, or $.27 per share, for the six
months ended June 30, 1997, compared to $67,259, or $.11 per share for the six
months ended June 30, 1996, representing a 137.9% increase. The increase in net
income was the result of an increase in net interest income of $214,066, an
increase in non-interest income of $60,620 and a decrease in the provision for
loan losses of $50,000. This was partially offset by an increase in noninterest
expense of $142,348 and an increase in income tax expense of $89,604. Net income
for the quarter ended June 30, 1997 was $107,029 as compared to $58,574 for the
same period in 1996.

INTEREST INCOME

Interest income increased $627,036 to $1,955,448, or 47.2% for the six months
ended June 30, 1997, compared to the same period in 1996. The increase in
interest income was the result of an increase in interest income on loans and
investment securities of $373,926 and $345,029, respectively. The increase in
interest income was partially offset by a decrease in interest income on
interest-bearing deposits of $91,919. The increase in interest income on loans
is due to an increase in the average balance of the loan portfolio, as well as
accretion income recognized on discounted loan pools purchased by the by the
Bank during 1995 and 1996. The discount associated with such discounted loan
pools is recognized as a yield adjustment and is included as interest income
using the interest method and applied on a loan-by-loan basis (to the extent
that the timing and amount of cash flows can reasonably be determined). During
the six months ended June 30, 1997, the Bank recognized approximately $252,000
in accretion income associated with these discounted loan pools. Of this amount,
approximately $114,000 represents accelerated income related to payoffs of
individual loans within the discounted loan pools. The balance of approximately
$138,000 represents normal accretion based on the Banks internal estimates of
future cash flows. For the three months ended June 30, 1997, interest income
increased $196,843 to $1,028,729, or 23.7%, compared to the same period in 1996.
The increase in interest income was the result of an increase in interest income
on loans and investment securities of $21,475 and $196,016, respectively. The
increase in interest income was partially offset by a decrease in interest
income on interest-bearing deposits of $20,648 for the three months ended June
30, 1997.

INTEREST EXPENSE

Interest expense increased $412,970 to $966,863, or 74.6%, for the six months
ended June 30, 1997, compared to the same period in 1996 due to a higher volume
of new certificates of deposit and FHLB Advances. The average cost of funds,
including other borrowings, increased .19% to 5.44% for the six months ended
June 30, 1997 compared to the same period in 1996. Interest expense increased
$243,439 to $520,162, or 88.0%, for the three months ended June 30, 1997,
compared to the same period in 1996 due to a higher volume of new certificates
of deposit and FHLB Advances. The average cost of funds, including other
borrowings, increased .40% to 5.54% for the three months ended June 30, 1997
compared to the same period in 1996.

NET INTEREST INCOME

The Company's profitability, like that of many financial institutions, is
dependent to a large extent upon 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 the mix of
rates and volume of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities
that occur over time. 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.

Net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 1997, increased $214,066,
or 27.64%, to $988,585 from $774,519 compared to the same period in 1996.
Average interest-earning assets increased by $14.1 million, or 56.0%, to $39.3
million, for the six months ended June 30, 1997 compared to the same period in
1996. Average interest-bearing liabilities increased $14.4 million or 68.2% over
the same period. The average net interest spread decreased from 5.30% to 4.51%
for the six months ended June 30, 1997, resulting from a decrease in the average
yield on earning assets and an increase in the average cost of interest-bearing
liabilities of .59% and .19%, respectively. The Company's net interest margin
for the six months ended June 30, 1997, was 5.03%, compared to 6.15% for the
same period in 1996. Net interest income for the three months ended June 30,
1997, decreased $46,596, or 8.39%, to $508,567 from $555,163 compared to the
same period in 1996. Average interest-earning assets increased by $16.4 million,
or 65.8%, to $41.2 million, for the three months ended June 30, 1997 compared to
the same period in 1996. Average interest-bearing liabilities increased $16.1
million or 74.6% over the same period.

The average net interest spread decreased from 8.25% to 4.45% for the three
months ended June 30, 1997, resulting from the decrease in the average yield on
earning assets and the increase in the average cost of interest-bearing
liabilities of 3.40% and .40%, respectively. The Company's net interest margin
for the three months ended June 30, 1997, was 4.94%, compared to 8.94% for the
same period in 1996.

RATE VOLUME ANALYSIS

The following schedule presents the dollar amount of changes in interest income
and interest expense for major components of interest-earning assets and
interest-bearing liabilities. It distinguishes between changes (a) related to
outstanding balances and (b) due to the changes in interest rates. Information
is provided in each category with respect to: (i) changes attributable to
changes in volume (changes in volume multiplied by prior rate); (ii) changes
attributable to changes in rate (changes in rate multiplied by prior volume);
and (iii) the net change in rate/volume (change in rate multiplied by change in
volume). The changes attributable to the combined impact of volume and rate have
been allocated proportionately to the changes due to volume and the changes due
to rate.

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 management's evaluation of
these factors, the provision for loan losses decreased $50,000 during the six
months ended June 30, 1997 and $75,000 during the three months ended June 30,
1997 compared to the same periods during 1996. The allowance for loan losses as
a percentage of loans and leases outstanding was .99% at June 30, 1997, compared
to 1.09% at December 31, 1996 and 1.15% at June 30, 1996. 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. 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 with respect to possible loan losses when
compared to the entire loan portfolio. No charge-offs on loans were recorded
during the second quarter of 1997 or for the comparable quarter in 1996.

NONINTEREST INCOME

Noninterest income increased $60,620 to $128,298, or 89.6%, for the six months
ended June 30, 1997, compared to the same period in 1996. The increase was the
result of commission income of $75,232 generated by the Company's brokerage
subsidiary, USACapital, during quarter ended June 30, 1997, its first quarter of
operation and an increase in the gain on sales of investment securities of
$13,976. Noninterest income increased $107,217 to $112,594 for the three months
ended June 30, 1997, compared to the same period in 1996. The increase was
primarily the result of commission income of $75,232 generated by USACapital
during quarter ended June 30, 1997 as well as increases in fees and service
charges on loan and deposit accounts.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE

Noninterest expense increased $142,348 to $842,286, or 20.3%, for the six months
ended June 30, 1997, compared to the same period in 1996. Compensation expense
increased $34,864 due to the hiring of additional personnel. Occupancy expense,
office, travel and entertainment, advertising, depreciation and amortization
expenses and other miscellaneous expenses increased $61,848 as a result of the
increased promotional efforts to attract additional customers. Professional fees
increased $45,636 due an increase in outside consulting and legal services
provided during the quarter. Noninterest expense increased $28,608 to $455,574,
or 6.7%, for the three months ended June 30, 1997, compared to the same period
in 1996. Increases in occupancy, professional fees and other noninterest
expenses of $18,261, $20,636 and $15,879, respectively, were partially offset by
decreases in advertising, insurance and other expenses of $9,752, $7,249, and
$9,167, respectively.

INCOME TAX EXPENSE

Income tax expense increased from $0 to $89,604, for the six months ended June
30, 1997, compared to the same period in 1996. The Company did not record an
income tax provision for the six months ended June 30, 1996, because of prior
net operating losses which were utilized during that period. Income tax expense
increased from $0 to $58,558, for the three months ended June 30, 1997, compared
to the same period in 1996. The Company did not record an income tax provision
for the three months ended June 30, 1996 because of prior net operating losses
which were utilized during that period.

On June 30, 1997, the net book value of nonaccrual loans was approximately
$326,000 compared to $120,985 at December 31, 1996. These amounts represented
nonaccrual balances on discounted commercial and residential real estate loans
purchased by the Bank from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation during 1996
and not on balances originated directly by the Bank. The Bank had no troubled
debt restructured loans as of June 30, 1997. The Bank will recognize income on
nonaccrual loans, under the cash basis, when the loans are brought current as to
outstanding principal and collateral on the loan is sufficient to cover the
outstanding obligation to the Bank. The following table summarizes the changes

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 FHLB, and the use of Federal
Funds markets. Scheduled loan repayments are relatively stable sources of funds
while deposit inflows and unscheduled loan prepayments may fluctuate. 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 increased 37.9% to $38.6 million at June 30, 1997,
compared to $28.0 million as of December 31, 1996. The Bank has made a concerted
effort to attract deposits in the market area served by the Bank through
competitive pricing of the its retail deposit products.

                                       15

<PAGE>

Increases over the period were due to marketing efforts, and new business
development programs initiated by the 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 FHLB borrowings to provide
liquidity. Although deposit balances have shown historical growth, such balances
may be influenced by changes in the banking industry in general, interest rates
available on other investments, general economic conditions, competition and
other factors.

The following table summarizes the composition of the Bank's deposit portfolio.

Other borrowings decreased to $4.2 million at June 30, 1997, compared to $5.1
million as of December 31, 1996. This decrease was the result of the scheduled
maturity of an FHLB advance which was partially offset by additional borrowings
during the period. 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 the Bank are required to comply with certain "risk-based"
capital adequacy guidelines issued by the Federal Reserve Bank (for the Company)
and the FDIC (for the Bank). 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 amount equal to 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 certain 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 any subordinated debt.
