HUDSON UNITED BANCORP

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

(in thousands, except per share data)



NOTE A  BASIS OF PRESENTATION



The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Hudson United Bancorp and Subsidiaries (Hudson United or the Company) include the
accounts of the parent company, Hudson United Bancorp, and its wholly-owned subsidiary: Hudson United Bank (the Bank). These unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) 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
GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the information presented includes all adjustments and 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 Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2004. The Companys significant accounting policies are outlined in Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004, previously filed with the SEC.
There have not been any significant changes in factors or methodology applied to our critical accounting policies since December 31, 2004 that would be considered material to the Companys operations.



During May 2003, the Company acquired ownership interests in two companies, a wholly owned
company and a 50% owned company, involved in landfill gas projects (LGPs). The Company has included both companies in the consolidated financial statements from their date of acquisition, the minority interest is included in other
liabilities, income in the noninterest income category and expense in the noninterest expense category.



All intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.



Trusts holding solely junior debentures of the Company that issued Company-obligated mandatory redeemable preferred capital securities have been deconsolidated and the junior debentures are included under other
liabilities on the Companys consolidated balance sheet, as a result of the application of FIN 46 and SFAS 150.



NOTE B  TB BANKNORTH MERGER



On July 11, 2005, the Company, TD Banknorth, Inc. and The Toronto-Dominion Bank entered into an agreement and plan of merger. Hudson United shareholders will receive
approximately $1.9 billion in cash and TD Banknorth common stock. Under the terms of the definitive agreement, Hudson United shareholders will have the right, subject to proration, to elect to receive cash and/or TD Banknorth, Inc. common stock, in
either case having a value equal to $21.07 plus the product of 0.7247 times the average closing price of the TD Banknorth, Inc. common stock during a ten-trading day period ending on the fifth trading day prior to the closing date.



The cash for the transaction will be financed through TD Banknorths sale of
approximately 29.6 million shares of TD Banknorth common stock to TD Banknorths majority shareholder, TD Bank Financial Group, at a price of $31.79 per share.



The transaction is subject to approval by shareholders of Hudson United and TD Banknorth, Inc., as well as customary regulatory approvals,
and is expected to close in the first quarter of 2006.

NOTE C  EARNINGS PER SHARE



Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding less restricted
stock during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares plus the incremental number of shares issuable from restricted stock and the exercise of stock options, calculated
using the treasury stock method.



A reconciliation of weighted average common
shares outstanding to weighted average common shares outstanding assuming dilution follows (in thousands, except per share data):

Options to purchase 55,500 and 71,900
shares at $33.97 and $34.74 per share were outstanding during the first half of 2005 and 2004, but were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because the options would have been anti-dilutive at June 30, 2005 and June 30, 2004,
respectively.



NOTE D  ACQUISITIONS/BUSINESS COMBINATIONS



The Company, through its subsidiary Hudson United Bank, acquired Flatiron Credit Company
(Flatiron) on October 31, 2003. The purchase price of the acquisition was approximately $40 million in cash based on the estimated book value of Flatiron on the closing date of the acquisition. The Bank may also be obligated to make
additional earn-out payments, based on the increase in net income of Flatiron in the two years after the closing of the acquisition. The purchase price (excluding any potential earn-out payments) represented a $3.4 million premium to Flatirons
estimated book value (before acquisition costs). At December 31, 2004, $4.5 million of additional goodwill was recorded representing the first earn-out payment which was finalized with no adjustment and paid in the first quarter of 2005. The final
earn-out payment, if any, will be based on 2005 financial results compared to 2004.



In 2003, Hudson United acquired ownership interests in two companies involved in landfill gas projects (LGPs). The Company as the owner of the LGPs is eligible to receive tax credits under Section 29 of the Internal Revenue Code
(Section 29 tax credits), which are available to producers of fuel from non-conventional sources. These Section 29 tax credits were $4.8 million and $4.6 million for the six month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The
Section 29 tax credits, which may be limited or eliminated based upon a formula tied to the average price of crude oil during each calendar year, are scheduled to expire on December 31, 2007. The difference between the acquisition value of $20
million and the net asset value was recorded as a reduction of the carrying value of long-lived equipment.

unaffiliated third parties. As of June 30, 2005, the Company had paid total consideration of $3.6 million for $5.9 million of these assets, with an associated discount of $2.3 million.



NOTE E  LANDFILL GAS INVESTMENTS

gas loan and investments for cash and recorded a $6.5 million provision to reduce the carrying value of the landfill gas loan and investments to their current net realizable value less cost to sell. At June 30, 2005, Landfill Investment assets held

Investment securities with a book
value of $2.4 billion at June 30, 2005 and $2.7 billion at December 31, 2004 were pledged as collateral for public sector deposits, customer repurchase agreements and borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank and other counterparties.



Other securities include preferred stocks of Government Sponsored Entities, Community
Reinvestment Act Funds, and common and preferred stocks of other financial institutions



EITF No. 03-1 The Meaning of Other-Than Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments discusses recommendations set forth on the proposed models for evaluating impairment of equity securities and debt
securities. The Company has adopted these guidelines as of December 31, 2003 and continues to monitor the status of the recommendations set forth in EITF No.3-1. The Financial Accounting Standards Board decided not to provide additional guidance on
the meaning of other than temporary impairment, but directed the staff to issue propsed FSP EITF 03-1a, Implemenation Guidance for the Application of Paragraph 16 of EITF Issue No. 03-1, as final. The final FSP will supersede EITF No.
03-1 and will be retitled FSP FAS 115-1 The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments. FSP FAS 115-1 would be effective for other-than-temporary impairment analysis conducted in periods
beginning after September 15, 2005. The finalized FSP is expected to be issued in August 2005. The Company monitors the market value fluctuations of its investment portfolio on a monthly basis as well as associated credit ratings to determine
potential impairment of a security. As of December 31, 2004, the Company had $81.1 million of securities classified as Other-Than-Temporarily Impaired. These securities are carried at the lower of cost or fair value. Charges for
Other-Than-Temporarily Impaired securities were $13.9 million in 2004. As of June 30, 2005, the Company did not have any securities classified as Other-Than Temporarily Impaired. The Companys investment securities with
unrealized losses are considered temporarily impaired due to interest rate fluctuations that occurred during the year.

The Company decreased its borrowings
by $150.7 million at June 30, 2005 over December 31, 2004 levels. This decrease was primarily due to decreases in Federal Home Loan Bank advances. At June 30, 2005, the Company had a $40 million line of credit with an unaffiliated bank, which
matures June 30, 2006. The line of credit was not utilized during the first half of 2005.



NOTE H  SUBORDINATED DEBT



On May 6,
2002, the Bank issued $200 million of 7.00% subordinated notes due May 2012. The debentures bear interest at a fixed interest rate of 7.00% per annum payable semi-annually. The proceeds of the above issuance were used for general corporate purposes
including providing Tier 2 Capital to Hudson United.



In September 1996, the
Company issued $75 million aggregate principal amount of subordinated debentures. The debentures, which mature in 2006, bear interest at a fixed interest rate of 8.20% per annum payable semi-annually. The Company repurchased $7.0 million of this
debt during 2002, $37.8 million during 2003 and $5.7 million during 2004. The outstanding balance of this debt is $24.5 million as of June 30, 2005. The 2003 debt repurchase was repurchased from an investment banking firm at a price of 115% of par,
which resulted in a premium of $5.7 million and a total transaction value of $44.0 million, which also included accrued interest. The Company at the same time issued a $45 million, 3.50% fixed rate institutional certificate of deposit due in May of
2008 to the same investment banking firm. The changed terms of the debt instruments and the present value of the cash flows of the obligations repurchased and the new obligation issued were not considered to be substantially different. The effective
annual interest cost of the new obligation issued by the Company is 6.02%.



Proceeds of the above issuances were used for general purposes including providing Tier I capital to the subsidiary bank. The debt has been structured to comply with the Federal Reserve Bank and FDIC rules regarding debt qualifying as Tier
2 capital at the Company.



NOTE I  JUNIOR SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES
ASSOCIATED WITH CAPITAL TRUST SECURITIES



The Company issued on March 17,
2004, $20 million of capital trust preferred securities, with a final maturity of March 17, 2034, using Hudson United Statutory Trust I, a statutory business trust formed under the laws of the State of Connecticut. The sole asset of the trust, which
is the obligor on the Capital Trust Securities, is $20.6 million principal amount variable rate Junior Subordinated Debentures due 2034 of the Company. The capital trust preferred securities have a rate equal to the 3-month LIBOR plus 2.79%
adjusting quarterly at each interest payment date and are callable by the Company on or after March 17, 2009 and any subsequent interest payment date thereafter. As of June 30, 2005, $20.0 million of the Hudson United Statutory Trust I and $20.6
million Junior Subordinated Debentures respectively, remained outstanding.



On
March 31, 2003, the Company issued $20 million of capital trust preferred securities, with a final maturity on April 15, 2033, using Hudson United Capital Trust I, a statutory business trust formed under the laws of the State of Delaware. The sole

on April 15, 2008, and have a fixed rate yield of 6.85% until the call date. Thereafter the yield on this issuance is based on 6-month LIBOR plus 3.30%. As of June 30, 2005, $20 million of the Hudson United Capital Trust I and $20.6 million Junior
Subordinated Debentures respectively, remained outstanding.

The Company issued on March 28, 2003, $15 million of capital trust preferred securities, with a final maturity of April
10, 2033, using Hudson United Capital Trust II, a statutory business trust formed under the laws of the State of Delaware. The sole asset of the trust, which is the obligor on the Capital Trust Securities, is $15.5 million principal amount at a
fixed rate of 6.45% Junior Subordinated Debentures due 2038 of the Company. The capital trust preferred securities are callable at par on April 24, 2008, and have a fixed rate yield of 6.45% until the call date. Thereafter the yield on this issuance
is based on 3-month LIBOR plus 3.25%. As of June 30, 2005, $15.0 million of the Hudson United Capital Trust II and $15.5 million of Junior Subordinated Debentures respectively, remained outstanding.



On June 19, 1998, the Company issued $50.0 million in aggregate liquidation amount at a fixed
rate 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 sole asset of the trust, which is the obligor on the Series B Capital Securities, is $51.5
million principal amount of 7.65% Junior Subordinated Debentures due 2028 of the Company. The 7.65% Capital Securities are redeemable by the Company on or after June 15, 2008, or earlier in the event the deduction of related interest for federal
income taxes is prohibited, treatment as Tier 1 Capital is no longer permitted or certain other contingencies arise. As of June 30, 2005, $50.0 million of the HUBCO Capital Trust II and $51.5 million Junior Subordinated Debentures respectively,
remained outstanding.



On January 31, 1997, the Company issued $50.0 million in
aggregate liquidation amount of 8.98% Capital Securities due February 2027, using HUBCO Capital Trust I, a statutory business trust formed under the laws of the State of Delaware. The sole asset of the trust, which is the obligor on the Series B
Capital Securities, is $51.5 million principal amount at a fixed rate of 8.98% Junior Subordinated Debentures due 2027 of the Company. The 8.98% Capital Securities are redeemable by the Company on or after February 1, 2007, or earlier in the event
the deduction of related interest for federal income tax is prohibited, treatment as Tier 1 capital is no longer permitted or certain other contingencies arise. As of June 30, 2005, $45.0 million of the 8.98% Capital Securities and $46.5 Junior
Subordinated Debentures respectively, remained outstanding.



The five issues of
capital securities have preference over the common securities under certain circumstances with respect to cash distributions and amounts payable on liquidation and are guaranteed by the Company. The net proceeds of the offerings 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. At the end of the reporting period, there were no known
uncertainties that will have or that are reasonably likely to have a material effect on the Companys liquidity or capital resources.



The FASB issued Interpretation No. 46 (Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities) in December 2003. As a consequence of this interpretation the Company now
deconsolidates all of its capital trust issuances and now reports these issuances in the other liability line on the Companys balance sheet. On March 1, 2005 the Federal Reserve Bank released its final rule on trust preferred securities. The
final rule retains the bifurcated system of limits on trust preferred securities: 15% of core capital elements limit for internationally active banks, and 25% of core capital elements for non-internationally active banks. The final rule
does not have an impact upon the Company.



The following is a maturity
distribution of outstanding subordinated debt and junior subordinated debentures associated with capital trust securities, which are included in the other liability section of the Companys consolidated balance sheet:

NOTE J  STOCK BASED COMPENSATION



The Board of Directors adopted and the shareholders approved on April 17, 2002, the 2002 Stock Option Plan, which provides for the issuance
of up to 1,250,000 stock options to employees of the Company, in addition to those previously granted. The option or grant price cannot be less than the fair market value of the common stock at the date of the grant. As of the adoption date there
were no further issuances from any of the Companys previous stock option plans. There are other options outstanding that were granted under the plans of acquired companies. As of June 30, 2005, there remained 851,600 shares and as of December
31, 2004 there remained 875,200 shares available for grant from the 2002 Stock Option Plan.



The Board of Directors has adopted and the shareholders approved on April 21, 2004 an amended restricted stock plan, which authorized an additional one million shares available for future issuances. As of June 30,
2005, 856,147 shares and as of December 31, 2004 there remained 941,647 shares available for grants.



The Company adopted as of January 1, 2003 SFAS No. 148 and will utilize the prospective method of transition, which requires that companies apply the recognition provisions of Statement 123 to all employee awards
granted, modified, or settled after the beginning of the fiscal year in which the recognition provisions are first applied. Adoption of this statement had no material effect on the Companys operations. The intrinsic value method is used on all
grants prior to January 1, 2003. Since, the pro forma effect on net income of the stock options granted prior to adoption of SFAS No. 148 is immaterial; we have not disclosed such pro forma compensation expense and its related effect on net income
and earnings per share herein.



NOTE K  INCOME TAXES



The following represents the components of the Companys income tax expense for the
period ended June 30:

During the quarter ended June 30,
2005, the Company and the Internal Revenue Service reached a settlement related to the examination of the Companys Federal Income tax returns covering the years 1998 through 2002. The Company paid $12.6 million in additional income taxes for
the years 1998 through 2002. Tax reserves related to these years exceeded the amount of the settlement payment by $11.5 million and have reduced the provision for income taxes for 2005.



A reconciliation of the provision for income taxes, as reported, with the Federal income tax at the statutory rate for the six-month period
ended June 30 is as follows (in thousands):

NOTE L  COMMITMENTS AND
CONTINGENT LIABILITIES



The Company and its subsidiaries, from time to time,
may be defendants in legal proceedings. In the opinion of management, based upon consultation with legal counsel, the ultimate resolution of these legal proceedings will not have a material effect on the financial condition of the Company.

##### Table of Contents

In the normal course of business, the Company and its subsidiaries have various commitments and contingent liabilities
such as commitments to extend credit, letters of credit and liability for assets held in trust which are not reflected in the accompanying financial statements. Loan commitments, commitments to extend lines of credit and stand-by letters of credit
are made to customers in the ordinary course of business. Both arrangements have credit risk essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers and are subject to the Companys normal credit policies. As of June 30, 2005, the
Company had a total of $2.6 billion in commitments to extend credit, $59.3 million in standby letters of credit and $28.8 million in commercial letters of credit.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS



OVERVIEW



The Company reported net income of $34.7 million, or $0.78 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2005 compared to $31.7 million, or $0.70 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2004. The Company had net
income of $64.5 million, or $1.44 per diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2005. For the corresponding 2004 period, the Company reported net income of $62.6 million, or $1.40 per diluted share.



The Companys return on average equity was 26.19% and return on average assets was 1.57%
for the second quarter of 2005. The net interest margin was 3.80%. The Companys return on average equity was 26.58% and return on average assets was 1.51% for the second quarter of 2004. The net interest margin was 4.05%



NET INTEREST INCOME



Net interest income for the second quarter of 2005 was $76.7 million and the net interest margin on a tax equivalent basis was 3.80%. Net
interest income for the second quarter of 2004 was $78.1 million and the net interest margin on a tax equivalent basis was 4.18%. Net interest income decreased by $1.4 million in the second quarter of 2005 compared to the same period of 2004. The
decrease in net interest income in the second quarter of 2005 compared to the comparable quarter in 2004 was due primarily to higher interest costs on deposits and borrowings and the repositioning of the securities portfolio to include a larger
component of securities rated AA and AAA.



Net interest income for the first
half of 2005 was $153.9 million and the net interest margin on a tax equivalent basis was 3.81%. Net interest income for the first half of 2004 was $156.0 million and the net interest margin on a tax equivalent basis was 4.15%. Net interest income
decreased by $2.0 million when comparing the 2005 period to the corresponding 2004 period. The decrease in net interest income for the first six months of 2005 compared to the comparable period in 2004 was due primarily to higher interest expense on
deposits and borrowings. This was offset in part by yields on new loans being originated in a higher interest rate environment. Interest income on securities increased in the first half of 2005 compared to the comparable period in 2004 due to an
increase in the average volume being partially offset by a decline in average yield.



NONINTEREST INCOME



Noninterest income was $35.2 million in the
second quarter of 2005 and $39.1 million in the second quarter of 2004. The decrease in noninterest income in 2005 compared to 2004 was due mainly to the reciept in 2004 of a $4.7 million settlement related to a former owner of the Landfill Gas
Investments, a $3.0 million decrease in loan fees in 2005 which were offset by a $3.0 million increase in credit card fee income in 2005 and $1.8 million of interest received in 2005 as part of the IRS settlement of the examination of the
Companys 1998 through 2002 Federal income tax returns. During the fourth quarter of 2004, the Company sold its merchant processing business. Loan fees for the second quarter 2004 included $1.7 million of merchant processing fees related to
this business.



Noninterest income was $66.8 million for the first half of 2005
and $74.7 million for the first half of 2004. Noninterest income for the first six months of 2005 decreased by $7.9 million. The decrease in noninterest income in 2005 compared to 2004 was due mainly to the aforementioned one time settlement of $4.7
million and a $2.6 million decrease in security gains in 2005, lower levels of retail service fees and loan fees in 2005 which were offset by a $3.6 million increase in credit card fees and $1.8 million of IRS settlement interest in 2005. Loan fees
for the first half of 2004 included $3.1 million of merchant processing fees related to the merchant processing business that the Company sold during the fourth quarter of 2004.



NONINTEREST EXPENSE



Noninterest expense was $76.9 million for the second quarter of 2005 and $69.8 million for the second quarter of 2004. The increase in noninterest expense in the second
quarter of 2005 compared to the second quarter of 2004 is due to a provision of $6.5 million to

reduce the carrying value of the landfill gas investments, expenses of $2.4 million related to the IRS settlement and a
$1.1 million increase in foreclosed property expense. The increase in other non interest expense is due to higher foreclosed property expense related to a property that was foreclosed in December 2004. Decreases in noninterest expense was
experienced in the outside services from lower expenses resulting from the modification of the Companys data processing and item processing contracts.



Noninterest expense was $141.5 million for the first half of 2005 compared to $136.4 million for the first half of 2004. The increase in
noninterest expense in the first half of 2005 compared to the first half of 2004 was primarily due to a provision of $6.5 million to reduce the carrying value of the landfill gas investments, expenses of $2.4 million related to the IRS settlement
and a $1.8 million dollar increase in foreclosed property expense. A decrease in outside services was experienced during the first half of 2005 resulting from lower expenses resulting from the modification of the Companys data processing and
item processing contracts. An increase in other non interest expense is due to higher foreclosed property expense related to the property that is expected to close during the third quarter of 2005 at which time all operating expenses will be
included in the amount financed for the buyer and reimbursed to the Bank. Expense for Landfill Investments includes a provision of $6.5 million to reduce the carrying value of the landfill gas investments to their net realizable value less cost to
sell. The first half of 2004 includes $2.7 million of costs related to the terminated correspondent banking business.



INCOME TAXES



The Companys pretax income for the second quarter of 2005 was $29.2 million, a decrease of $13.4 million, or 31.5%, compared to the second quarter of 2004. The Companys provision for income taxes was a
benefit of $5.5 million for the second quarter of 2005 compared to an $11.0 million provision for the second quarter of 2004. The Companys effective tax rate was (18.9)% for the second quarter of 2005 compared to 25.8% for the second quarter
of 2004. The effective tax rate is lower than the statutory Federal income tax rate and results from the effect of the IRS settlement in 2005 and the Companys investment in tax advantaged securities and loans and the Section 29 income tax
credits in 2005 and 2004.



The Companys pretax income for the first half
of 2005 was $69.0 million and $83.9 million for the first half of 2004. The Companys provision for income taxes was $4.5 million for the first six months of 2005 and $21.3 million for the same period in 2004. The decrease in the provision for
the 2005 period was due to lower pre-tax income and the IRS settlement.



PROVISION FOR LOAN AND LEASE LOSSES AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN AND LEASE LOSSES



The provision for loan and lease losses was $5.8 million for the second quarter of 2005 and $4.8 million for the second quarter of 2004. Net charge offs for the second quarter of 2005 were $6.0 million compared to $5.8 million for the
second quarter of 2004.



The Allowance for loan and lease losses
(Allowance) totaled $59.5 million at June 30, 2005 compared to $60.8 million at December 31, 2004. It represented 409% of nonperforming loans and leases at June 30, 2005, compared to 496% at December 31, 2004. The Allowance as a
percentage of total loans and leases was 1.17% at June 30, 2005 and 1.26% at December 31, 2004.



The determination of the adequacy of the Allowance and the periodic provisioning for estimated losses included in the consolidated financial statements is the responsibility of management. The evaluation process is
undertaken on a monthly basis. The methodology employed for assessing the adequacy of the Allowance consists of the following:



| |  |  | The establishment of allowance amounts for all specifically identified criticized loans, including those arising from business combinations, that have been designated as requiring
attention by managements internal loan review program.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The establishment of reserves for pools of homogenous types of loans not subject to specific review, including 1-4 family residential mortgages, consumer loans and leases, and
credit card portfolios, based upon historical loss rates.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



An
allocation of the allowance for the non-criticized loans in each portfolio is determined based upon the historical average loss experience of those portfolios.



Consideration is also given to the changed risk profile brought about by business combinations, knowledge about customers and industries, the results of ongoing credit
quality monitoring processes, the adequacy and expertise of the Companys lending staff, underwriting policies, loss histories, delinquency trends, nature of economic and business conditions, and any concentration in the portfolio including
real estate related loans located in the northeastern part of the United States. Since many of the loans depend upon the sufficiency of real estate collateral as a secondary source of repayment, any adverse trend in the real estate markets could
affect underlying values available to protect the Company from loss. Other evidence used to determine the amount of the Allowance and its components are as follows:



| |  |  | regulatory and other examinations

| |  |  | opportunities to dispose of marginally performing loans for cash consideration

Based upon the process employed and giving recognition to all attendant factors associated with the loan portfolio, management considers the Allowance to be adequate
at June 30, 2005.



Non Performing Loans and Non Performing Assets



Nonperforming loans and leases totaled $14.6 million at June 30, 2005. This
was a decrease of $2.6 million, compared to $17.2 million of nonperforming loans and leases as of March 31, 2005. Nonperforming loans and leases were 0.29 % of total loans and leases at June 30, 2005, compared to 0.36% at March 31, 2005 and 0.25% at
December 31, 2004.



The decrease in the Companys non-performing loans and

FINANCIAL CONDITION



Loan and lease categories
consisting of commercial and financial, commercial real estate, consumer, and credit card loans totaled $5.0 billion at June 30, 2005, compared to $4.7 billion at December 31, 2004. These four loan and lease categories are the areas of loans that
the Company emphasizes. This is because they generally have more attractive yields; interest rate sensitivity; and maturity characteristics than single family loans. These four loan and lease categories represented approximately 98% of loans and
leases at June 30, 2005, compared to 97% at December 31, 2004. The loan to deposit ratio at June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004 was 77% and 76%, respectively.

Total investment securities were $3.4 billion at June 30, 2005, compared to $3.5 billion at December 31, 2004. Total
assets were $9.2 billion at June 30, 2005 compared to $9.1 billion at December 31, 2004.



Deposits other than time deposits were $4.6 billion at June 30, 2005 and $4.5 billion at December 31, 2004. Total deposits were $6.6 billion at June 30, 2005 and $6.3 billion at December 31, 2004. This deposit growth
includes $297 million of savings deposits arising from increased marketing of our HU BONUS savings account.



Total borrowings decreased by $150.7 million over year-end 2004 levels to $1.6 billion. This decrease was primarily due to decreases in Federal Home Loan Bank advances with terms ranging from one month to slightly
over one year.



Total stockholders equity was $535.0 million and $531.7
million at June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively. Book value per common share (defined as total stockholders equity divided by total shares outstanding) was $12.06 at June 30,2005 and $11.82 at December 31, 2004. All regulatory
capital ratios exceed those necessary to be considered a well-capitalized institution at both June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004.



During April 2005, the board of directors approved a treasury share repurchase plan of up to 4.5 million shares. The Company repurchased 810,500 shares at an average
price of $33.69 per share in the second quarter of 2005.



Total shares
outstanding were 44.4 million shares at June 30, 2005 and 45.0 million at December 31, 2004.



The Company paid cash dividends of $0.37 per share in the second quarter of 2005. Total cash dividends paid in the second quarter of 2005 was $16.7 million. Dividends paid in 2005 year to date were $0.74 per share.
Total cash dividends paid in 2005 year to date were $33.3 million.



MARKET RISK



Interest Rate Risk



The primary objectives of asset-liability management are to provide for the safety of
depositor and investor funds, assure adequate liquidity, maintain an appropriate balance between interest-sensitive earning assets and interest-sensitive liabilities and enhance earnings. Interest rate sensitivity management ensures that the Company
maintains acceptable levels of net interest income throughout a range of interest rate environments. The Company seeks to maintain its interest rate risk within a range that it believes is both manageable and prudent, given its capital and income
generating capacity.



The Company evaluates on a monthly basis its simulation
model to measure the sensitivity of net interest income to changes in market interest rates. There have been no material changes in these monthly simulations from the Companys results outlined in its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2004.



During the second quarter of 2005, the Company decreased its investment
portfolio by approximately $186 million and increased its loan portfolio by approximately $240 million compared to December 31, 2004. The overall effect of this transition has relatively no change to the Companys balance sheet interest rate
sensitivity at June 30, 2005 as compared to December 31, 2004.



The Company
enters into interest rate derivative contracts (interest rate swaps) from time to time for asset liability management purposes. The notional amount of the derivative contracts totaled $370 million at June 30, 2005 and $495 million at December 31,
2004.



The purpose of these contracts is to attempt to limit the volatility in
the Companys net interest income and net interest margin in the event of changes in interest rates, in the context of the management of the Companys overall asset liability risk. Management did not enter into these contracts for
speculative purposes. Under SFAS No.133, the Company has adopted hedge accounting for these contracts. The derivative contracts hedging the fixed rate certificates of deposit and fixed rate debt have payments linked to LIBOR and are accounted for as
fair value hedges using the short-cut method under SFAS No. 133. Under the short-cut method, any changes in value of the hedged item are assumed to be exactly as much as the change in the value of the derivative contract.
Therefore, in a fair value hedge, the hedged item is adjusted by exactly the same amount as the derivative, with no impact on earnings. All of the derivative contracts outstanding as of June 30, 2005 that are hedges for the Companys borrowings
and certificates of deposit are indexed to LIBOR. Changes in interest rates will impact the cash flows and valuation of such derivative contracts, but management does not expect the overall financial statement impact to be material under any
interest rate scenario.

Liquidity



Liquidity is a measure of the Companys ability to meet the needs of depositors, borrowers, and creditors at a reasonable cost and without adverse financial
consequences. The Company has several liquidity measurements that are evaluated on a frequent basis. The Company believes it has adequate sources of liquidity including the ability to attract deposits from businesses and individuals through its
branches; brokered deposits from securities firms; cash flow from interest, prepayments and principal repayments on investment securities and loans; Securities Available for Sale; and the ability to borrow funds on a collateralized basis from the
Federal Home Loan Bank and Federal Reserve discount window, through repurchase agreements collateralized by securities with customers and with securities firms; and through other sources. The management of balance sheet volumes, mixes and maturities
enables the Company to maintain adequate levels of liquidity.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk



(see discussion above under Market Risk, Interest rate Risk)



Item 4. Controls and Procedures



The
Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, with the assistance of other members of the Companys management, have evaluated the effectiveness of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the
period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures are effective.



The Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have also concluded
that there have not been any changes in the Companys internal control over financial reporting during the Companys second quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal
controls over financial reporting.



The Companys management, including
the CEO and CFO, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, provides reasonable, not absolute, assurance
that the objectives of the control system are met. The design of a control system reflects resource constraints; the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because there are inherent limitations in all control systems, no
evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been or will be detected. These inherent
limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people,
or by management override of the controls.

##### Table of Contents

The design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events.
There can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with the
policies or procedures. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
