herein have been made. The results of operations for the three months ended
March 31, 1997, are not necessarily indicative of results to be anticipated for
the full year.

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

                                 March 31, 1997

This report contains "forward-looking" statements. USABancShares, Inc. (the
"Company") desires to take advantage of the "safe harbor" provisions of the
Private Securities Litigation Act of 1995 and is including this statement for
the express purpose of availing itself of such safe harbor with respect to such
statements. Examples of forward-looking statements include, but are not limited
to (a) statements of plans and objectives of the Company or its management or
Board of Directors, (b) statements of future economic performance and (c)
statements of assumptions underlying other statements and statements about the
Company or its business. 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 1996 Annual Report on Form 10-KSB. Results of operations
for the three month period ended March 31, 1997 are compared to the unaudited
results of operations for the period ended March 31, 1996. Such information is
based upon the historical financial information available as of that date.
Results of operations for the three month period ended March 31, 1997 are not
necessarily indicative of results to be attained for any other period.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

NET INCOME

The Company reported net income of $52,964, or $.09 per share, for the three
months ended March 31, 1997, compared to $8,685, or $.01 per share for the three
months ended March 31, 1996, representing a 509.8% increase. The increase in net
income was primarily the result of an increase in net interest income of
$258,970 due to discount accretion on purchased loans as well as interest
earning asset growth. This was partially offset by a decrease in noninterest
income of $44,904 an increase in noninterest expense of $113,741 an increase in
the provision for loan losses of $25,000 and an increase in income tax expense
of $31,046.

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 three months ended March 31, 1997, increased $258,970, or
118.1%, to $478,325 from $219,355 for the same period in 1996. Average
interest-earning assets increased by $11.0 million, or 41.4%, to $37.6 million,
for the three months ended March 31, 1997 compared to the same period in 1996.
Average interest-bearing liabilities increased $10.7 million or 49.3% over the
same period. The average net interest spread increased from 2.35% to 4.32%,
resulting from the increase in average earning assets as discussed above. The
Company's net interest margin for the three months ended March 31, 1997, was
5.09%, compared to 3.29% for the same period in 1996. The improvement was
primarily related to discount accretion on purchased loans and higher volumes of
earning assets during the three months ended March 31, 1997, compared to 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.

</TABLE>


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 increased $25,000 during the
quarter ended March 31, 1997. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of
loans and leases outstanding was 1.14% at March 31, 1997, compared to 1.09% at
December 31, 1996 and .68% at March 31, 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 first quarter of 1997 or for the comparable quarter in 1996.

INTEREST EXPENSE

Total interest expense increased $169,531 or 61.2%, compared to the three months
ended March 31, 1996, due to a higher volume of new certificates of deposit and
Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") Advances. The average cost of funds, including
other borrowings, was 5.52% for the first three months of 1997 compared to 5.10%
over the same period in 1996.

NONINTEREST INCOME

Noninterest income decreased $44,904 or 72.1% in the first three months of 1997
compared to the same three months of 1996. An accrual adjustment recorded during
the quarter ended March 31, 1996, relating to the period ended December 31,
1995, accounted for $30,064 of this decrease. Gains on sales of securities
classified as available-for-sale decreased $15,511 and service charges on
deposit accounts, other service charges, loan review fees, letter of credit fees
and other miscellaneous income increased $671 during the period.

OTHER EXPENSE

Other expense increased an aggregate of $113,741 or 41.7%, compared to the first
three months of 1996. Compensation expense increased $34,377 due to the hiring
of additional personnel. Occupancy expense, office, travel and entertainment,
advertising, depreciation and amortization expenses and other miscellaneous
expenses increased $54,365 as a result of the increased efforts to attract
additional customers. Professional fees increased $24,999 due an increase in
outside consulting and legal services provided during the quarter.

INCOME TAX EXPENSE

Income tax expense increased to $31,046 compared to the first three months of
1996. The Company did not record an income tax provision for the period ended
March 31, 1996 because of prior net operating losses which were utilized during
the first quarter of 1996.

On March 31, 1997, the net book value of nonaccrual loans was approximately
$244,000 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 FDIC during 1996 and not on balances originated
directly by the Bank. There were no troubled debt restructured loans as of March
31, 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,
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 10.7% to $31.0 million at March 31, 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.

<PAGE>

Increases over the period were 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 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 $3.2 million at March 31, 1997, compared to $5.1
million as of December 31, 1996. This decrease was the result of the scheduled
maturity of an FHLB advance during the quarter. 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 ("FRB") (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.
