                           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"), Lafayette
American Bank ("Lafayette"), Bank of the Hudson ("BOTH"), HUBCO Capital Trust I
and HUBCO Capital Trust II. 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. The consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with
the Annual Report on Form 10-KA filed with the Commission on August 14, 1998,
for the year ended December 31, 1997 and the current report on Form 8-K filed
with the Commission on November 6, 1998 which restated HUBCO's consolidated
financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1997 to take into account
the completion of the mergers of Bank of Southington, Pougkeepsie Financial
Corp., MSB Bancorp, IBS Financial, Community Financial Holding Corporation, 
and Dime Financial Corporation (see Note C).

NOTE B -- EARNINGS PER SHARE

In the fourth quarter of 1997, the Company adopted SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per
Share." This statement establishes standards for computing and presenting
earnings per share and requires dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings
per share. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income, less
dividends on the convertible preferred stock, by the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is
computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares
plus the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the preferred stock and
the incremental number of shares issuable from the exercise of stock options,
stock warrants, and includes the impact of the Management Recognition Plan
("MRP"), calculated using the treasury stock method. All per share amounts have
been retroactively restated to reflect all stock splits and stock dividends. All
prior periods presented have been restated in this new format.

NOTE F -- RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Effective January 1, 1998, the Company adopted SFAS No. 130, "Reporting
Comprehensive Income", which establishes standards for the reporting of
comprehensive income and its components in a full set of general-purpose
financial statements. The Company has elected to display Consolidated Statements
of Income and Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income separately for the
disclosed periods. Comprehensive income is displayed on the Consolidated Balance
Sheets and Consolidated Statements of Changes in Stockholders' Equity as a
separate item entitled unrealized gains(losses) on securities available for sale
since this is the only component of comprehensive income. The following is a
reconciliation of the tax effect allocated to each component of comprehensive
income for the periods presented (in thousands):

Effective January 1, 1998, the Company adopted SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information", which requires that a public
business enterprise report financial and descriptive information about its
reportable operating segments. The Company's three banking subsidiaries, Hudson
United Bank, Lafayette, and BOTH, which meet the criteria of SFAS No. 131 to be
considered in the aggregate, have been aggregated for purposes of segment
reporting. HUBCO, Inc., the banks' holding company, is not a reportable segment
because it does not exceed any of the quantitative thresholds.

                      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 thousands
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. The
Bank of Southington was acquired on January 8, 1998, Poughkeepsie Financial
Corporation was acquired on April 24, 1998, MSB Bancorp was acquired on May 29,
1998, IBS Financial Corporation was acquired on August 14, 1998, Community
Financial Holding Corporation was acquired on August 14, 1998, and Dime
Financial Corporation was acquired on August 21, 1998. These acquisitions were
accounted for on a pooling-of-interests method, and accordingly, the
consolidated financial statements have been restated to include these
institutions for all periods presented. All share data has been retroactively
restated to reflect the shares issued in the aforementioned transactions
including restatement of all prior periods. In addition, the Company acquired
Security National Bank on February 5, 1998, 21 branches of First Union National
Bank on June 26, 1998 and 2 branches of First Union National Bank on July 24,
1998, all of which were accounted for on the purchase method and thus operations
and earnings are reflected in the Company's results subsequent to the date of
acquisition. The balance sheet and income statement comparisons are influenced
by these purchase transactions.

Applications have been filed with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the
New Jersey Department of Banking and the Connecticut Department of Banking for
permission to merge HUBCO's three banking subsidiaries. Simultaneously, notice
was provided to the Office of Thrift Supervision. The resulting bank will be
operated under the New Jersey charter of Hudson United Bank.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements can
be identified by asterisks ("*") or the use of words such as "believes",
"expects" and similiar words or variations. Such statements are not historical
facts and involve certain risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ
materially from the results discussed in these forward-looking statements.
Factors that might cause a difference include, but are not limited to, changes
in interest rates, economic conditions, deposit and loan growth, loan loss
provisions, and customer retention. The Company assumes no obligation for
updating any such forward-looking statements at any time.

YEAR 2000

HUBCO has been planning since 1996 to prepare its computer systems and
applications to meet the challenge of the new millennium. The Company, in
conjunction with its data processing subsidiary, has established a "Year 2000
Team" which is responsible for ensuring implementation of the required changes
and that business disruption is minimal. This process involves analyzing and
replacing existing computer hardware and software as needed. HUBCO is currently
communicating with customers and external providers to determine their status
regarding Year 2000 issues. Additionally, the company is assessing how problems
with third party computer systems may impact its business operations. To date,
the company has not identified any material third party problems, but will
continue to assess the situation through 1999.

Considering the company's technology infrastructure and the progress made to
date, we estimate that the modification and review of computer and
non-information technology systems will be substantially completed by December
31, 1998*. This will allow 1999 for testing and making adjustments, as
necessary, to fine tune our systems and deal with any customer or third party
developments*.

The estimated total cost to become year 2000 compliant is $5 million*. Through
September 30, 1998, the company has incurred approximately $3 million. The
Company anticipates most of the remaining costs will be incurred by mid-year
1999*.

                                       13

<PAGE>

A failure by HUBCO, by third parties or by whom HUBCO relies for support to
correct Year 2000 issues may cause a disruption in HUBCO's business operations
that could result in reduced revenue, increased operating costs and other
adverse effects. Additionally, to the extent borrowers' financial positions are
weakened as a result of Year 2000 issues, credit quality could be impacted. It
is not possible to forecast with a reasonable degree of certainty all the
negative impacts that may result from a failure of the company or third parties
to become fully year 2000 compliant or whether such effects could have a
material impact on HUBCO. The company has developed contingency plans to
mitigate the disruption to business operations that may occur if Year 2000
compliance is not fully achieved by all parties.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

OVERVIEW

The net loss for the three-month period ended September 30, 1998 was $20.1
million compared to net income of $19.4 million for the three-month period ended
September 30, 1997. The third quarter included $27.8 million after-tax of merger
related and restructuring charges and a $14.9 million after-tax charge related
to a planned bulk sale of non-performing loans and other real estate owned
("OREO") ("one time charges"). Excluding one time charges, third quarter 1998
net income was $22.5 million. The loss for the three-month period ended
September 30, 1998 amounted to $0.50 per basic and diluted share compared to
earnings of $0.47 per basic share and $0.44 per diluted share for the same
period in 1997. Excluding one time charges, 1998 third quarter basic and diluted
earnings per share were $0.56 and $0.55, respectively. Return on average equity
and return on average assets were (16.52)% and (1.17)%, respectively, as
reported for the three-month period ended September 30, 1998, 14.59% and 1.20%,
respectively, for the same period in 1997 and 18.49% and 1.31%, respectively,
excluding one time charges, for the three-month period ended September 30, 1998.


The net loss for the nine-month period ended September 30, 1998 was $0.6 million
compared to net income of $55.0 million for the nine-month period ended
September 30, 1997. The nine-month period of 1998 included after-tax merger
related and restructuring charges of $46.6 million and the aforementioned charge
for the planned bulk sale ("one time charges"). Excluding one time charges, net
income for the nine-months ended September 30, 1998 amounted to $60.8 million.
The loss for the nine-month period ended September 30, 1998 amounted to $0.02
per basic and diluted share compared to earnings of $1.31 per basic share and
$1.25 per diluted share for the same period in 1997. Excluding one time charges,
1998 nine-month basic and diluted earnings per share were $1.49 and $1.46,
respectively. Return on average equity and return on average assets were (0.17)%
and (0.01)%, respectively, as reported for the nine-month period ended September
30, 1998, 14.03% and 1.14%, respectively, for the same period in 1997 and 16.28%
and 1.23%, respectively, excluding one time charges, for the nine-month period
ended September 30, 1998.

Despite the charges taken during 1998, the company's book value increased $2.66
per share during the nine-month period from year end 1997, as originally
reported, due to the accretive effects of the acquisitions completed in 1998.

Included in HUBCO's third quarter results is a $14.9 million after-tax charge,
which is recorded as a loss on assets held for sale on the consolidated income
statement, and a $10.3 million write-down against the allowance for possible
loan losses and OREO reserve. These charges relate to the planned disposal of
$64 million of non-performing loans and OREO in a bulk sale. Despite progress in
the resolution of these non-performing assets, HUBCO believes that disposal is
appropriate at this time rather than its standard work-out process given the
potential of a slowing economy and a weakening real estate market. This sale is
anticipated to be completed in the fourth quarter.

NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September
30, 1998 was $64.4 million and $190.8 million compared to $65.0 million and
$192.4 million for the same periods in 1997. This represents a decrease of $0.6
million or 1% for the three-month period and a decrease of $1.6 million or 1%
for the nine-month period. The net interest margin for the three-month and
nine-month periods ended September 30, 1998 was 4.06% and 4.15%, respectively,
compared to 4.30% and 4.28%, respectively for the same periods in 1997.

Interest income for the three-month period ended September 30, 1998 increased
$2.1 million or 2%, while interest expense increased $2.7 million, or 5%. The
increase in interest income was due primarily to a higher average volume of
investment securities. The higher level of interest expense resulted mainly from
a higher average volume of borrowings.

                                       14


<PAGE>


Interest income for the nine-month period ended September 30, 1998 increased
$0.2 million and interest expense increased $1.8 million. On a percentage basis
both increases were less than 1%. The higher levels of interest income and
expense were due primarily to the same factors that impacted the third quarter
results.

PROVISION FOR POSSIBLE LOAN LOSSES

The provision for possible loan losses for the three-month and nine-month
periods ended September 30, 1998 was $2.8 million and $11.9 million,
respectively, compared to $3.0 million and $8.0 million, respectively, for the
same periods in 1997. The Company performs an evaluation of the adequacy of the
allowance for possible loan losses each quarter. The results of this analysis
and the projection of potential credit losses and economic conditions are some
of the factors which determine the required quarterly provision. Management
believes that the allowance for possible loan losses at September 30, 1998 of
$53.5 million, or 1.56% of total loans and 164% of non-performing assets ,
including those held for sale, is adequate. Comparative ratios for September 30,
1997 and December 31, 1997 are 1.81% and 75% and 1.83% and 84%, respectively.

period resulted from higher Shoppers Charge income, non deposit account fees,
and gains on the sale of loans.

Non-interest expense for the third quarter of 1998 was $78.4 million, $39.9
million excluding merger related and restructuring charges, compared to $44.1
million for the same period in 1997. For the nine months ended September 30,
1998, non-interest expense was $192.4 million, $126.0 million excluding merger
related and restructuring charges, compared to $131.8 million for the same
period in 1997. The merger related and restructuring charges included printing,
legal, accounting, mailing, conversion costs, consulting fees and other similar
expenses. Efficiencies were realized for the three and nine-month periods ended
September 30, 1998 compared to the same periods in 1997 in salaries, benefits,
and servicing fees, due to the consolidation of operational support functions of
the acquired institutions. Increases for the 1998 periods ended September 30,
1998 compared to the same periods in 1997 occurred in occupancy expense and for
the amortization of intangibles resulting from the acquisition of Security
National Bank and the First Union branches. The third quarter decrease is
especially meaningful considering there are 28 new branches that were acquired
under the purchase method of accounting this year.

The Company's effective tax rate for the three-month and nine- month periods
ended September 30, 1998 was a 24% credit and 111%, respectively, due to
non-deductible charges and goodwill amortization, and 36% and 37% ,
respectively, excluding the effect of the charges . This compares with an
effective tax rate for the comparable periods in 1997 of 40%.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Total assets at September 30, 1998, were $6.7 billion, an increase of $71
million or 1% from $6.6 billion of assets at December 31, 1997, as restated for
all poolings through September 30, 1998. The investment securities portfolio
increased to $2.7 billion from $2.3 billion at December 31, 1997 ( a 19%
increase) due primarily to leveraging employed to utilize the high capital level
acquired through the acquisition of IBS Financial. Total loans decreased $163
million, or 5%, to $3.4 billion at September 30, 1998 due to the sale of all new
originations of residential mortgage loans as the loan mix is being changed.
Other real estate owned decreased $4.9 million or 43% from $11.5 million at
December 31, 1997 to $6.6 million at September 30, 1998, as management continues
to focus on asset quality. The September balance was transferred to assets held
for sale. Intangibles, net of amortization, increased from $55.6 million at
December 31, 1997 to $81.9 million at September 30, 1998 due to the addition of
the goodwill created from the Security National Bank and First Union branch
acquisitions.

Deposits held steady during the nine-month period and were $5.2 billion at
September 30, 1998. Borrowings increased $140 million from $626 million at
December 31, 1997 to $766 million at September 30, 1998 to fund growth in the
investment portfolio. Total stockholders' equity at September 30, 1998 was $452
million compared to $507 million at December 31, 1997. The change in
stockholders' equity is primarily attributable to the purchase of $57 million of
treasury shares.

On June 19, 1998, the Company placed $50.0 million in aggregate liquidation
amount of 7.65% Capital Securities due June 2028, using HUBCO Capital Trust II,
a statutory business trust formed under the laws of the State of Delaware. The
net proceeds of the offering are being used for general corporate purposes and
to increase capital levels of the Company and its subsidiaries. The securities
qualify as Tier I capital under the capital guidelines of the Federal Reserve.
