HUDSON UNITED BANCORP  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                              HUDSON UNITED BANCORP
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)


NOTE A -- BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying financial statements of Hudson United Bancorp and Subsidiaries
("the Company") include the accounts of the parent company, Hudson United
Bancorp, and its wholly-owned subsidiaries: Hudson United Bank ("Hudson
United"), MSB Travel Inc., HUBCO Capital Trust I and HUBCO Capital Trust II. All
material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation. In March 1999, the former Lafayette American Bank, Bank of the
Hudson, and Hudson United Bank where combined to form Hudson United. In
addition, the shareholders of the Company on April 21, 1999 approved an
amendment to the certificate of incorporation to change the name of the Company
from HUBCO, Inc. to Hudson United Bancorp. 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 Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Commission on March
15, 1999, for the year ended December 31, 1998.

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 (when
outstanding) 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.

NOTE F -- RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS (CONTINUED)

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 banking subsidiary, Hudson United
Bank, which meets the criteria of SFAS No. 131, operates in one segment called
financial services. Hudson United Bancorp, the bank's holding company, is not a
reportable segment because it does not exceed any of the quantitative
thresholds.

Effective for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998, the Company adopted SFAS
No. 132, "Employers' Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement
Benefits," which standardizes the disclosure requirements for pension and other
post retirement benefits to the extent practicable and requires additional
information on changes in the benefit obligations and fair values of plan
assets.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting
for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," establishing standards for
the accounting and reporting of derivatives. The statement is effective for
fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999; earlier application is permitted.
The Company has elected not to adopt this statement prior to its effective date.
The Company does not expect that application of this statement will have a
material effect on its financial position or results of operations.

                      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 the 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, two
branches of First Union National Bank on July 24, 1998, and one branch from
First International Bank on March 26, 1999, all of which were accounted for
under 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.

STATEMENTS REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

This document contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements can
be identified by the use of words such as "believes," "expects" and similar
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, customer
retention, failure to realize expected cost savings or revenue enhancements from
acquisitions, or failure of the Company's Year 2000 compliance program to
effectively address year 2000 computer problems. The Company assumes no
obligation for updating any such forward-looking statements at any time.

YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE

Hudson United Bancorp has been involved since 1996 in preparing 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 to avoid business disruption. The process involves analyzing
and replacing existing computer hardware and software as needed. The Company 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.

The Company's review of computer and noninformation technology systems was
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. Testing is proceeding satisfactorily and is on
schedule.

The Company has been informed that its joint venture partner has decided to
terminate their interest in a computer processing joint venture. In addition,
the Company has entered into a letter of intent and is presently in discussions
with a third-party provider to outsource the Company's internal processing
systems. The potential provider is an industry leader that is actively
conducting its own Year 2000 assessment and testing program. The Company
anticipates a second quarter decision on the ultimate outcome of these matters.

The estimated total cost to become Year 2000 compliant is $5 million. Through
March 31, 1999, the Company has incurred approximately $4.3 million of the above
costs. The Company anticipates most of the remaining costs will be incurred by
mid-year 1999.

<PAGE>



A failure by Hudson United Bancorp or by third parties on whom the Company
relies for support to correct Year 2000 issues may cause disruption in the
Company'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 could result from a
failure of the Company or third parties to become fully Year 2000-compliant or
whether such effect could have a material impact on Hudson United Bancorp. 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

Net income for the three-month period ended March 31, 1999 was $24.6 million
compared to net income of $14.9 million for the same period in 1998. Fully
diluted earnings per share amounted to $0.61 for the 1999 first quarter and
$0.35 for the 1998 first quarter. The 1998 quarter included merger-related and
restructuring charges that amounted to $2.3 million after-tax. Excluding the
charges, net income for the 1998 period was $17.2 million and fully diluted
earnings per share was $0.41. The increase in earnings was primarily the result
of higher noninterest income, lower noninterest expense, and a lower loan loss
provision. The Company's successful integration of its 1998 acquisitions was a
major contributor to the improved earnings performance. Return on average assets
and return on average equity for the three months ended March 31, 1999 was 1.52%
and 23.10%, respectively. In the first quarter of 1998, return on average assets
was 0.95% and return on average equity was 11.84%. Excluding the merger related
and restructuring charges in the 1998 period, return on average assets was 1.09%
and return on average equity was 13.67%. At March 31, 1999, book value per
common share was $10.79 and the Tier 1 leverage ratio was 6.82%.

NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income amounted to $62.5 million for both three-month periods ended
March 31, 1999 and 1998. Average interest-earning assets were $172 million
higher in the first quarter of 1999 compared to the same period in 1998. At
March 31, 1999, total interest-earning assets amounted to $6.5 billion compared
to an average of $6.1 billion for the first quarter of 1999. However, this
positive impact on net interest income was offset by an 11 basis point decline
in the net interest margin to 4.16% in the 1999 period. Interest income declined
by $3.8 million in the first quarter of 1999 compared to the first quarter of
1998. This was primarily due to a decline in interest income on loans, which was
mainly the result of the lower 1999 interest rate environment. Partially
offsetting the decline was higher income on investment securities, which was due
to higher average volumes in the 1999 period. Interest expense in the 1999 first
quarter was $3.8 million below the 1998 first quarter due primarily to a more
favorable deposit mix and lower average deposits in 1999 and the impact of the
lower rate environment in that period. Increased borrowing expense, due to
higher average volumes, partially offset the decline in other categories.

PROVISION FOR POSSIBLE LOAN LOSSES

The provision for possible loan losses was $2.5 million and $6.3 million for the
three-month periods ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The decline in
the provision was primarily due to the inclusion in the 1998 period of a $3.5
million provision taken by the former Poughkeepsie Financial Corporation to
bring its reserve policy in line with that of Hudson United Bancorp. The
allowance for possible loan losses amounted to $54.5 million at March 31, 1999
compared to $53.5 million at year-end 1998. The allowance represented 1.59% and
1.58% of total loans at March 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998, respectively. The
allowance was 315% of nonaccrual loans at March 31, 1999 and 303% of nonaccrual
loans at December 31, 1998. 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 March 31,
1999 of $54.5 million is adequate.

NONINTEREST INCOME

Noninterest income, excluding security gains, increased to $16.6 million for the
first quarter of 1999 compared to $11.5 million in the first quarter of 1998.
The increase reflects higher income from the Shoppers Charge and mortgage
divisions and increased sales of investment products. Security gains for the
three months ended March 31, 1999 amounted to $0.9 million compared to $2.4
million for the three month period ended March 31, 1998.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE

Noninterest expense for the first quarter of 1999 was $39.7 million compared to
$46.9 million in the first quarter of 1998. The amount for 1998 includes $2.6
million of merger related restructuring costs that were recorded in that period.
The decrease primarily reflects cost savings resulting from the integration of
the 1998 acquisitions. Salaries and employee benefits experienced the largest
decline, with a 25% favorable variance. The efficiency ratio was 46.2% for the
three months ended March 31, 1999 compared to 55.5% for the three months ended
March 31, 1998. The Company's effective tax rate for the three-month period
ended March 31, 1999 was 35%. The effective tax rate for the 1998 first quarter
was 36% and 35% when merger related and restructuring costs are excluded.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Total assets amounted to $7.0 billion at March 31, 1999, an increase of $267
million or 4% from $6.8 billion at December 31, 1998. At March 31, 1999, total
loans were $3.4 billion and total investment securities were $3.1 billion. These
balances represented increases of $38 million for loans and $169 million for
investment securities when compared to year-end 1998. The increase in credit
card loans of $99 million and the increase in credit card loans past due 90 days
or more and still accruing of $7 million, at March 31, 1999 compared to December
31, 1998, was primarily the result of the purchase of two credit card
portfolios. The loan mix continued to change, as residential and commercial
mortgage loans amounted to 64% of total loans at March 31, 1999, which was lower
than the 67% of total loans at year-end. The increase in the investment
securities portfolio was due primarily to leveraging employed to utilize the
Company's capital position. Intangibles, net of amortization, increased from
$79.0 million at December 31, 1998 to $84.9 million at March 31, 1999 due
primarily to the addition of the goodwill created from the First International
Bank branch acquisition.

Deposits were $4.9 billion at March 31, 1999 compared to $5.1 billion at
December 31, 1998. Borrowings increased to $1.3 billion at March 31, 1999
compared to $822 million at December 31, 1998. The increase in borrowings was
mainly the result of the higher asset level at the March 1999 period end. Total
stockholders' equity at March 31, 1999 was $427 million compared to $457 million
at December 31, 1998. The change in stockholders' equity is primarily
attributable to the purchase of $41 million of treasury shares.

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 March 31, 1999,
and the minimum regulatory guidelines for such capital ratios for qualification
as a well-capitalized institution are as follows:
