                           HUBCO Inc. and Subsidiaries
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)

NOTE A -- BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying financial statements of HUBCO, Inc. and Subsidiaries ("HUBCO"
or "the Company") include the accounts of the parent company, HUBCO, Inc. and
its wholly-owned subsidiaries: Hudson United Bank ("Hudson United Bank"),
Lafayette American Bank & Trust Co. ("Lafayette") and HUB Investment Co. All
material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation. These unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of
Regulation S-X. 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, the information presented
includes all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, considered
necessary for a fair presentation, in all material respects, of the interim
period results. The results of operations for periods of less than one year are
not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.


NOTE B -- ACQUISITIONS

Completed

On January 12, 1996, HUBCO acquired Growth Financial Corp. ("Growth"), a $128
million bank holding company with 3 branch locations in Somerset and Morris
counties, New Jersey, in a stock-for-stock transaction which was accounted for
on the pooling-of-interests method of accounting. Under the terms of the merger
agreement, Growth Bank was immediately merged into Hudson United Bank and
Growth's stockholder's received .69 of a share of HUBCO common stock, .71 of a
share as adjusted for the 3% stock dividend declared on October 24, 1996, in
exchange for each share of Growth common stock, resulting in the issuance of
approximately 1.3 million shares of HUBCO common stock. Since the Growth
acquisition was accounted for as a pooling-of-interests, the consolidated
financial statements have been restated to include the accounts of Growth for
all periods presented.

On February 29, 1996, HUBCO acquired three branch offices located in Bergen and
Middlesex counties, New Jersey, and related deposits from CrossLand Federal
Savings Bank ("CrossLand"). As a result of this transaction, Hudson United Bank
assumed approximately $60.6 million of deposit liabilities and cash of
approximately $56.7 million, net of a deposit premium of approximately $3.0
million.

On July 1, 1996, HUBCO acquired Lafayette American Bank and Trust Company
("Lafayette"), a $741 million commercial bank headquartered in Fairfield county,
Connecticut, in a stock-for-stock transaction which was accounted for on the
pooling-of-interests method of accounting. Under the terms of the agreement,
Lafayette's stockholders received .588 of a share of HUBCO common stock, .606 of
a share as adjusted for the 3% stock dividend declared on October 24, 1996, in
exchange for each share of Lafayette common stock, resulting in the issuance of
approximately 5.9 million shares of HUBCO common stock. Lafayette is a separate
subsidiary of HUBCO.

On August 30, 1996, HUBCO acquired Hometown Bancorporation ("Hometown"), a $194
million bank holding company with 2 branch locations in Fairfield county
Connecticut, for $17.75 per share in cash for each share of Hometown common
stock. Hometown's banking subsidiary, The Bank of Darien was merged into
Lafayette. This transaction was accounted for as a purchase and therefore,
Hometown's results of operations have been included in HUBCO's from August 30,
1996 forward.


<PAGE>

Pending

On June 21, 1996, HUBCO entered into an Agreement and Plan of merger with
Westport Bancorp, Inc. ("Westport"), by which HUBCO will acquire Westport and
will merge its subsidiary, The Westport Bank & Trust Company, into Lafayette
adding approximately $317 million of assets to HUBCO. The transaction calls for
HUBCO to exchange .332175 of a share of HUBCO common stock, as adjusted for the
3% stock dividend declared on October 24, 1996, for each outstanding share of
Westport common stock. Westport's convertible preferred stock will be converted
into a new HUBCO preferred issue with identical terms including an equivalent
dividend yield. The transaction will be accounted for as a pooling-of-interests
and is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 1996.

On August 16, 1996, Lafayette executed a Definitive Agreement to acquire UST
Bank/Connecticut, a subsidiary of UST Corp, in a cash transaction. UST
Bank/Connecticut is a $111 million commercial bank with 4 branch locations in
Fairfield county, Connecticut. This transaction will be accounted for as a
purchase and is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 1996.

NOTE C -- INCOME PER SHARE

Primary income per share has been computed based on the weighted average number
of common shares outstanding during the periods. Fully diluted earnings per
share for 1995 include the effect of shares issuable upon conversion of the
preferred stock. All share data has been retroactively restated for all poolings
and stock dividends, including the 3% stock dividend declared on October 24,
1996 and to be paid on November 15, 1996.

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

This financial review presents management's discussion and analysis of financial
condition and results of operations. It should be read in conjunction with the
Company's Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying notes. All
dollar amounts, other than per share information, are presented in millions
unless otherwise noted.

The financial statements for the comparative periods presented herein have been
restated to reflect the acquisitions that have been accounted for on the
pooling-of-interests accounting method during the periods presented herein.
Growth Financial Corporation was acquired on January 12, 1996 and Lafayette
American Bank and Trust Company was acquired on July 1, 1996 both on a
pooling-of-interests method. All periods prior to the effective dates of these
acquuisitions have been restated to reflect the poolings. In addition, the
Company acquired three branches from CrossLand Federal Savings Bank on February
29, 1996, and the Hometown Bancorporation was acquired on August 30, 1996. These
acquisitions were accounted for on the purchase method and thus operations and
earnings are reflected in the Company's results since the dates of acquisition.
The Company has two pending acquisitions -- Westport Bancorp, which is expected
to be acquired on December 13, 1996, and will be accounted for on the
pooling-of-interests method, and UST/Connecticut which will be acquired on or
about November 30, 1996, and will be accounted for on the purchase method.

A summary of the companies acquired, exclusive of the $60 million in deposits
acquired in the CrossLand acquisition, are as follows:

                                     
                                   Assets           Deposits
                                   ------           --------
         Growth Financial           $128              $110
         Lafayette American          741               647
         Hometown                    194               162
         Westport                    317               259
         UST/Conn.                   111               100

The balance sheet and income statement comparisons are influenced by the
transactions mentioned above. All share data has been retroactively restated to
reflect the shares issued in the aforementioned transactions including
restatement of all prior periods for the pooled acquisitions.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Earnings for the three-month comparative periods ended September 30 were as
follows(in thousands, except per share amounts):

Earnings for the nine-month comparative periods ended September 30 were as
follows(in thousands, except per share amounts):

                                               1996           1995
                                               ----           ----

         Net Income                          $15,218        $23,632
         Per share, fully diluted            $  0.76        $  1.14
         Weighted average common shares
           outstanding                        20,044         20,057

         Excluding one-time charges:
         Net Income                          $24,746         23,632
         Per share, fully diluted            $  1.23        $  1.14

The one-time charges consists of restructuring charges and merger related
expenses in connection with the Lafayette acquisition of $7.6 million on an
after-tax basis ($10.9 million pre-tax) for the third quarter and $9.0 million
on an after-tax basis ($13.0 million pre-tax) for the nine-month period,
respectively. Also included in the third quarter and for the nine-month period,
is a one-time charge to the SAIF fund for savings deposits owned as of March 31,
1995, in the amount of $.5 million on an after-tax basis ($.8 million pre-tax).
These one-time charges had the effect of reducing earnings per share by $.41 per
share for the quarter and $.47 for the nine-months.

------------------------------------------

THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 AND SEPTEMBER 30, 1995

Net interest income for the third quarter was $28.5 million compared with $29.4
million for the third quarter of 1995. This represents a decline of $.9 million
or 3.2%. The net interest margin for the comparative quarters was 4.92% for 1996
compared with 5.31% in 1995. The reduction is a result of a decline in interest
income on earning assets offset partially by a decrease in interest expense on
interest-bearing liabilities. The decline is due to yields and rates as opposed
to the volume of average earning assets which were $102.4 million higher in the
third quarter of 1996 compared with third quarter of 1995. The increase in
earning assets is primarily attributable to the acquisition of Hometown, which
was acquired August 30, 1996, on the purchase method, and therefore, the assets
are included in the 1996 results for one month. The decline in net interest
income and in the net interest margin for the third quarter was impacted by
Hometown which operated at less than a 4% margin, Lafayette, which had
approximately a 5% margin, and modestly by the $75 million in subordinated debt
issued by HUBCO on September 13, 1996.

Interest income was down $1.2 million, or 2.6% while interest expense declined
$.3 million, or 1.8%. The yield on earning assets declined from 8.30% in the
third quarter of 1995 to 7.72% for the third quarter of 1996. The competitive
deposit rates in Connecticut are currently slightly higher than the competitive
deposit rates in New Jersey.

The provision for possible loan losses for the comparative third quarters was
$1.4 million in 1996 compared with $1.7 million for 1995. The Company performs
an evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses each quarter. The
results of this analysis and the expectation of potential credit losses and the
economic conditions are some of the factors that determines the required
quarterly provision. Management believes that the allowance at September 30,
1996 of $29.7 million, or 1.85% of loans and 93% of non-performing loans, is
adequate. Comparative ratios for September 30, 1995 are 1.88% and 105%
respectively. Non-performing assets as a percentage to total assets was 1.43% at
September 30, 1996 and 1.62% at September 30, 1995.

</TABLE>

Non-interest income (excluding securities gains) decreased 3.7% from $6.2
million in the third quarter 1995 to $6.0 in 1996. The variances between the
three months ended September 30, 1996 and September 30, 1995 are as follows:
Trust income declined $.1 million as a result of Lafayette selling its trust
business in 1995 with no income earned in 1996 whereas Hudson United Bank had 8%
growth in trust income for the period. Service charges on deposit accounts
increased $.3 million or 8%. Other income declined $.4 million from 1995, when
HUBCO realized a $1 million insurance claim settlement asssociated with the
Urban acquisition. Excluding this one-time item in 1995, non-interest income
increased $.8 million or 15%. This increase is attributed to the exporting of
late charges on delinquent accounts by Shoppers Charge. Shoppers is realizing
approximately $.1 million per month in late fee income.

Non-interest expense increased $10 million from $21.7 million for the third
quarter of 1995 to $31.7 million for the third quarter of 1996. However, the
company took a one-time restructuring charge and merger related expenses of
$10.9 million in connection with the Lafayette acquisition that was consummated
on July 1, 1996. In addition, a special one-time assessment on SAIF-assessable
deposits of 52.56 basis points on such deposits held on March 31, 1995 was
recorded in the third quarter of this year and totaled $.8 million. Excluding
these one-time charges, non-interest expense would have been $19.9 million, or a
reduction of $1.7 million (8%) from last year's comparable quarter. Reductions
were realized in nearly all categories such as salaries, pension and other
employee benefits, occupancy and equipment expense. These reductions are a
result of the cost reductions following the Growth Financial acquisition in
January and the Lafayette acquisition in July along with the sale of a 50%
interest in its data processing subsidiary to another financial institution in
the fourth quarter of 1995. The full effect of the Lafayette cost saving
initiatives and the Hometown cost reductions will occur in the fourth quarter of
this year and in 1997.

In other categories, outside services increased $.2 million and other expenses
$.9 million. Payments for computer processing and other services amounted to
$1.1 million for the quarter thus accounting for more than the $.9 million
increase in other expenses but were more than offset in other categories.

A reconciliation of the combined statutory federal and state income taxes to the
effective tax provision is as follows:

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Nine Months Ended September 30, 1996 and September 30, 1995

Net interest income for the nine-month period was $85.9 million compared with
$88.6 million for the first nine-months of 1995. This represents a decline of
$2.7 million or 3%. The net interest margin for the comparative periods were
5.07% for 1996 compared with 5.31% in 1995. The reduction is a result of a $3.2
million decline in interest income on earning assets offset partially by a
decrease in interst expense on interest-bearing liabilities of $.6 million. The
decline is due to lower yields on earning assets as the volume of average
earning assets was $29 million higher in 1996.

Interest income declined $3.2 million, and interest expense declined $.6. The
yield on earning assets declined from 8.20% in 1995 to 7.88% for the first nine
months of 1996 on a $97 million increase in average loans and a $68 million
decline in average securities. Average borrowed funds increased during this
period which also contributed to the decline in the net interest margin.

The provision for possible loan losses for the comparative  nine-months amounted
to $5.8  million  in 1996  compared  with $5.9  million  for 1995.  The  Company
performs an  evaluation  of the adequacy of the  allowance  for loan losses each
quarter.  The results of the analysis  including  the  expectation  of potential
credit  losses and current  economic  conditions  are some of the  factors  that
determine  the  required  quarterly  provision.  Management  believes  that  the
allowance at September 30 is adequate.

Non-interest income (excluding securities gains) increased slightly from $17.2
million in 1995 to $17.6 million in 1996. The variances between the nine months
ended September 30, 1996 and September 30, 1995 are as follows: Trust income
declined $.6 million as a result of Lafayette selling its trust business in 1995
and therefore no income was earned in 1996 whereas Hudson United had growth in
the trust income for the periods. Service charges on deposit accounts decreased
approximatily $.2 million. Other income increased $1.2 million. However, in
1995, HUBCO had realized a $1 million insurance claim settlement associated with
the Urban acquisition in the third quarter. Excluding this one-time item in
1995, other income would have increased $2.2 million. This increase is almost
entirely attributed to the exporting of late charges on delinquent accounts by


<PAGE>

Shoppers Charge, increased merchant discount fee income, and growth in
international fee income.

Non-interst expense increased $5.0 million from $69.6 million for the first
nine-months of 1995 to $74.6 million for the same period in 1996. However, in
connection with the Lafayette acquisition, the Company took restructuring and
merger related charges in the second and third quarters resulting in a total
charge of $13 million. Excluding these expenses and the one-time SAIF assessment
previously discussed, non-interest expense would have been $60.8 million, or a
decline of $8.8 million (12.6%). Salaries declined $2.6 million, benefits were
down $2.5 million, occupancy was down $.7 million, and equipment expense was
down $1.5 million. These reductions are due to the economies realized following
the acquisitions of Jefferson, Urban and Growth. In addition, the reductions are
also attributable to the sale of the data processing operations previously
mentioned. The reduction in deposit and other insurance is due to the reduction
in the deposit insurance assesssment rate to the company. The increase in
outside services of $1.5 million is primarily attributable to the payments for
data processing services to the jointly owned service provider. The increase in
the amortization of intangibles of $.5 million is due to the amortization of
core deposit intangibles in connection with the acquisition of the CrossLand
Savings branch deposits ($.4 million), and the amortization of the intangibles
in connection with the Hometown Bancorporation on August 30, 1996. Other
expenses decreased $1.4 million.

The Company's effective tax rate for book purposes for the nine-month period
ended September 30, 1996, was 37%. This compares with an effective tax rate for
the comparable period in 1995 of 25%. The lower tax rate in 1995 was the result
of the reversal of tax reserves no longer deemed necessary and the reversal of a
portion of Lafayette's valuation allowance. See Results of Operations for the
Three Months Ended September 30, 1996 and September 30, 1995.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Total assets at September 30, 1996, were $2.724 billion, an increase of $282
million or 11.6% over the $2.442 billion at September 30, 1995 (as restated for
the Growth and Lafayette poolings). The balances at September 30, 1996 include
$197 million in assets from Hometown and $60 million from CrossLand both
acquired on a purchase method in 1996. From September 30, 1995 to September 30,
1996, loans increased $175 million to $1.6 billion. Of this increase,
approximately $100 million is due to the acquisition of Hometown. The company
has experienced internal growth in commercial and industrial loans and
commercial mortgage loans with declines in consumer loans where indirect lending
is being phased out and in the Shoppers Charge receivables which is seasonal.
Deposits increased from $2.1 billion at September 30, 1995, to $2.2 billion at
September 30, 1996. The company generally plans for and experiences deposit
shrinkage following acquisitions as the rates on deposits of the acquired
companies are reduced to rates generally offered by the Company.

The securities portfolios increased from an aggregate $805 million at September
30, 1995, to $842 million at September 30, 1996. The increase was due to the
Company's strategy of pre-investing a portion of its securities maturing in late
1996 and early 1997. This strategy also had the effect of increasing borrowings
which increased from $109 million at September 30, 1995 to $181 million at
September 30, 1996.

Intangibles, net of amortization, increased from $8.1 million to $23.1 million
attributable to the $3.0 million premium paid on the $60 million in branch
deposits 


<PAGE>

acquired in February, 1996, and $14.6 million in intangibles incurred in
connection with the Hometown acquisition on August 30.

Total stockholders' equity at September 30 amounted to $182 million compared
with $189.4 million at September 30, 1995, and $195.6 million at December 31,
1995. The decline is attributable to the Company's purchase of 9.5% of the
shares of Lafayette and Growth prior to acquisition and due to the change in the
unrealized gain/(loss) on securities which changed from an after-tax gain of
$1.2 million at September 30, 1995 to an after-tax loss of $.9 million at
September 30, 1996, and the purchase of treasury shares which were reissued for
the 3% stock dividend issued in November 1996.

On September 30, 1996, the Company issued $75 million in 8.20%, 10-year
Subordinated Debt. The all-in effective cost of the debt is 8.39%. The net
proceeds of the offering will be used for general corporate purposes, as
necessary, and to increase capital levels of the Company and its subsidiaries as
my be required for potential acquisitions in the future.

At the end of the reporting period, the Company is not aware of any current
recommendations by the regulatory authorities which would have a material
adverse effect on the company's capital resources or operations. The capital
ratios for the Company at September 30, 1996, and the minimum regulatory
guidelines for such capital ratios are as follows

The regulatory guidelines are for qualification as a well-capitalized
institution.
