                      USABancShares, Inc. and Subsidiaries
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
        (Information as of and for the nine and three month periods ended
                   September 30, 1997, and 1996 is unaudited)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The unaudited consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 1997, and
for the nine and three month periods ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 include
the accounts of USABancShares, Inc. (the "Company") and its wholly-owned
subsidiaries 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 nine and three month
periods ended September 30, 1997, are not necessarily indicative of results to
be anticipated for the full year.

2. NET INCOME PER SHARE

Net income per common share was computed by dividing net income by the weighted
average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year after
giving retroactive effect to the 33% stock dividend paid on July 18, 1997.

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 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 uses 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
their examination process, periodically review the Bank's allowance for loan
losses based on their judgments about information available to them at the time
of their examinations.

4. RECENT PRONOUNCEMENTS

In February, 1997 the FASB issued SFAS 129, Disclosure Information about Capital
Structure. SFAS 129 summarizes previously issued disclosure guidance contained
within APB Opinion No. 10 and 15, as well as SFAS No. 47. SFAS 129 is effective
for fiscal years ending after December 15, 1997. The Company's current
disclosures will not be affected by the adoption of SFAS 129.

In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income. SFAS
No. 130 establishes standards to provide prominent disclosure of comprehensive
income items. Comprehensive income is the change in equity of a business
enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances
from non-owner sources. SFAS No. 130 is effective for all periods beginning
after December 15, 1997. Subsequent to the effective date, all prior-period
amounts are required to be restated to conform to the provisions of SFAS No.
130. The adoption of SFAS 130 is not expected to have a material impact on the
Company's financial position and or results of operations.

In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information. SFAS 131 requires that public business
enterprises report certain information about operating segments in complete sets
of financial statements of the enterprise and in condensed financial statements
of interim periods issued to shareholders. It also requires that public business
enterprises report certain information about their products and services, the
geographic areas in which they operate, and their major customers. SFAS No. 131
is effective for all periods beginning after December 15, 1997. Management is
evaluating the disclosure requirements of this statement. The adoption of SFAS
131 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial
position and or results of operations.

1997 are compared to the unaudited results of operations for the nine and three
month periods ended September 30, 1996. Such information is based upon the
historical financial information available as of that date. Results of
operations for the nine and three month periods ended September 30, 1997 are not
necessarily indicative of results to be attained for any other period.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

The Company's total assets increased from $38.1 million at December 31, 1996 to
$64.3 million at September 30, 1997, an increase of $26.2 million, or 68.5%. The
increase was due primarily to increases in the loan and investment portfolios of
$17.4 million and $9.5 million, respectively. This growth was funded primarily
by increases in money market and certificate of deposit accounts and other
borrowed money. Total deposits increased $18.2 million to $46.2 million at
September 30, 1997, due primarily to increases in money market and certificates
of deposit accounts of $2.9 million and $15.0 million, respectively. Borrowed
funds consist primarily of advances ("FHLB Advances") from the Federal Home Loan
Bank (the "FHLB") with both fixed and variable interest rates. Total borrowed
funds increased to $12.2 million at September 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.

The Company reported net income of $287,853, or $.36 per share, after giving
retroactive effect to the 33% stock dividend paid on July 18, 1997, for the nine
months ended September 30, 1997, compared to $183,562, or $.23 per share for the
nine months ended September 30, 1996, representing a 56.8% increase. Had the
stock dividend not occurred, earnings per share for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 and 1996 would have been $.48 and $.31 per share,
respectively. The increase in net income was the result of an increase in net
interest income of $309,703, an increase in noninterest income of $183,271 and
a decrease in the provision for loan losses of $50,000. These increases were
partially offset by an increase in noninterest expense of $235,381 and an
increase in income tax expense of $203,301. Net income for the quarter ended
September 30, 1997 was $127,860, or $.16 per share, after giving retroactive
effect to the 33% stock dividend paid on July 18, 1997, as compared to $116,303,
or $.15 per share for the same period in 1996. Had the stock dividend not
occurred, earnings per share for the three months ended September 30, 1997 and
1996 would have been $.21 and $.19 per share, respectively.

INTEREST INCOME

Interest income increased 48.3% or $1.0 million to $3.2 million, for the nine
months ended September 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 $471,023 and $617,165, respectively. The
increase in interest income was partially offset by a decrease in interest
income on interest-bearing deposits of $51,834. 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
Bank during 1995, 1996 and 1997. 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 nine months ended September 30, 1997, the Bank recognized $340,229 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 $226,229
represents normal accretion based on the Bank's internal estimates of future
cash flows. Any changes from these estimates could result in either an increase
or decrease in accretion income. For the three months ended September 30, 1997,
interest income increased $409,320 to $1,226,373, or 50.1%, compared to the same
period in 1996. The increase in interest income was the result of an increase in
interest income on loans, investment securities, and interest-bearing deposits
of $97,097, $272,136, and $40,087, respectively.

INTEREST EXPENSE

Interest expense increased 85.9% or $726,651 to $1,572,416, for the nine months
ended September 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 0.45% to 5.48% for the nine months
ended September 30, 1997 compared to the same period in 1996. Interest expense
increased $313,680 to $605,551, or 107.5%, for the three months ended September
30, 1997, compared to the same period in 1996, due to a higher volume of new
certificates of deposit and FHLB Advances.

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 (derived principally from loans and
investment securities) and interest expense (incurred 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. Interest margin refers to
the amount of net annualized interest income divided by average interest-earning
assets.

Net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 1997, increased
$309,703, or 23.8%, to $1,609,405 from $1,229,703 compared to the same period in
1996. Average interest-earning assets increased by $15.0 million, or 54.6%, to
$42.6 million, for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 compared to the same
period in 1996. Average interest-bearing liabilities increased $15.9 million or
71.0% over the same period. The average net interest spread decreased from 5.34%
to 4.47% for the nine months ended September 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 0.42% and 0.45%, respectively. The Company's net
interest margin for the nine months ended September 30, 1997, was 5.03%,
compared to 6.28% for the same period in 1996. Net interest income for the three
months ended September 30, 1997, increased $95,640, or 18.2%, to $620,822 from
$525,182 compared to the same period in 1996.

Average interest-earning assets increased by $23.2 million, or 83.8%, to $50.9
million, for the three months ended September 30, 1997 compared to the same
period in 1996. Average interest-bearing liabilities increased $22.5 million or
97.8% over the same period. The average net interest spread decreased from 6.72%
to 4.32% for the three months ended September 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 2.16% and 0.24%, respectively. The
Company's net interest margin for the three months ended September 30, 1997, was
4.88%, compared to 7.58% 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 nine
months ended September 30, 1997 and remained unchanged during the three months
ended September 30, 1997 compared to the same periods during 1996. The allowance
for loan losses as a percentage of loans and leases outstanding was 0.75% at
September 30, 1997, compared to 1.09% at December 31, 1996 and 1.24% at
September 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 third quarter of 1997 or for the
comparable quarter in 1996.

NONINTEREST INCOME

Noninterest income increased 190.7%, or $183,271 to $279,361, for the nine
months ended September 30, 1997, compared to the same period in 1996. The
increase was primarily the result of commission income of $171,179 generated by
the Company's brokerage subsidiary, USACapital, and an increase in the gain on
sales of investment securities of $23,099. Noninterest income increased $122,651
to $151,063 for the three months ended September 30, 1997, compared to the same
period in 1996. The increase was primarily the result of commission income of
$95,947 generated by USACapital during quarter ended September 30, 1997 as well
as increases in fees and service charges on loan and deposit accounts.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE

Noninterest expense increased 21.7%, or $235,381 to $1,322,612, for the nine
months ended September 30, 1997, compared to the same period in 1996.
Compensation expense increased $13,725 due to the hiring of additional
personnel. Occupancy expense, data processing, office, travel and entertainment,
advertising, depreciation and amortization expenses and other miscellaneous
expenses increased $169,802 as a result of the Bank's increased promotional
efforts to attract new customers. Professional fees increased $72,592 due to an
increase in outside consulting and legal services provided during the period.
The increase in noninterest expense for the nine months ended September 30,
1997, was partially offset by a decrease in insurance expense of $20,738.
Noninterest expense increased $93,037 or 24.0%, to $480,328, for the three
months ended September 30, 1997, compared to the same period in 1996. Increases
in occupancy, data processing, professional fees, advertising, office,
depreciation and amortization and other noninterest expenses of $135,188, were
partially offset by decreases in compensation, insurance and travel and
entertainment expenses of $42,151.

INCOME TAX EXPENSE

Income tax expense increased $203,301, and $113,697, respectively, for the nine
and three month periods ended September 30, 1997. The Company did not record an
income tax provision for the nine and three month periods ended September 30,
1996, because of prior net operating losses which were available for utilization
during those periods.

LOAN PORTFOLIO

Loans, (net of the allowance for loan losses, unearned fees and origination
costs and loans in process) were $33.8 million at September 30, 1997 compared to
$16.5 million at December 31, 1996. Loans, net represented 52.6% of total assets
and 73.2% of total deposits as of September 30, 1997 compared to 43.3% and
58.9%, respectively, at December 31, 1996. On September 30, 1997, the net book
value of nonaccrual loans was approximately $366,000 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
September 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.

LIQUIDITY

The Company's primary sources of funds are customer deposits, maturities of
investment securities, sales of "Available-for-Sale" securities, loan sales and
repayments, net income, FHLB Advances, 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 65.1% to $46.2 million at September 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 its retail deposit products. 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 to rely on
customer deposits, maturing investment securities, sales of "Available-for-Sale"
securities, loan sales, loan repayments, net income, Federal Funds markets, and
FHLB Advances 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.

</TABLE>

Other borrowings increased to $12.2 million at September 30, 1997, compared to
$5.1 million as of December 31, 1996. This increase was the result of additional
short-term FHLB Advances 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 FHLB Advances.

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 banks. 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.



                                       16
<PAGE>

"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. The following table
sets forth the regulatory capital ratios for the Bank as of September 30, 1997,
and December 31, 1996, together with the minimum ratios required under the
regulation for an institution to be deemed "well capitalized."
