PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
GENERAL
Patriot Bank Corp. (the "Company") is a Pennsylvania corporation and is the
holding company for Patriot Bank (the "Bank") and Patriot Investment Company
("PIC"). The Company is a bank holding company and is subject to regulation by
the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "FRB"). Originally
organized as a Delaware corporation, the Company became a Pennsylvania
corporation as a result of its consolidation with First Lehigh Corporation on
January 22, 1999. The Company's executive offices are located at the
administrative offices of the Bank at High and Hanover Streets, Pottstown,
Pennsylvania 19464.
The Bank was originally chartered in 1938. In 1991, the Bank's predecessor
converted from a federally-chartered mutual savings bank to a
Pennsylvania-chartered mutual savings bank and changed its name to Patriot
Savings Bank. In August 1995, the Bank converted from a Pennsylvania-chartered
mutual savings bank to a federally-chartered mutual savings bank. On December 1,
1995, the Company acquired the Bank as part of the Bank's conversion from a
mutual to stock form of ownership (the "Conversion"). In connection with the
Conversion, the Bank changed its name to Patriot Bank. On May 23, 1997, the Bank
converted to a Pennsylvania-chartered commercial bank. The Bank conducts
business through its network of 18 community banking offices located in
Montgomery, Berks, Lehigh, Northampton and Chester Counties, Pennsylvania. As a
result of its acquisition of First Lehigh Bank, certain of the Bank's deposits
are insured by the Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF") and certain of
its deposits are insured by the Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF") administered by the
FDIC. At December 31, 2000, the Bank had total assets of $1,123 million,
deposits of $653 million and stockholder's equity of $70 million.
The Bank is a community-oriented financial services provider whose business
primarily consists of attracting deposits from the general public and small
businesses and originating commercial loans and leases, consumer loans, and
mortgage loans in the Bank's market area. In addition to its lending activities,
the Bank also invests in investment and mortgage-backed securities. The Bank
uses advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh ("FHLB") and
repurchase agreements as sources of funds.
The Bank's revenues are derived principally from interest on loans and
leases, interest on investment and mortgage-backed securities and other fees and
service charges. The Bank's primary sources of funds are deposits, FHLB
advances, repurchase agreements, interest on loans and investment and
mortgage-backed securities and principal repayments on loans and leases, and
investment and mortgage-backed securities.
PIC is a Delaware investment corporation that was incorporated by the
Company on September 10, 1996. Its primary business consists of maintaining an
investment portfolio. At December 31, 2000, PIC had total assets of $1.1 million
and stockholder's equity of $1.1 million.
MARKET AREA AND COMPETITION
The Company is located approximately 45 miles northwest of Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania and its market consists primarily of Montgomery, Berks, Lehigh,
Northampton, and Chester counties, Pennsylvania. The segment of the markets
served by the Company is primarily industrially oriented and demographically is
comprised of middle income and upper income households.
The Company faces significant competition both in originating loans and
attracting deposits. The Company's competitors are other financial services
providers operating within its primary market area, some of which are larger and
have greater financial resources than the Company. The Company's competition for
loans and deposits comes principally from commercial banks, savings and loan
associations, savings banks, credit unions, and mortgage banking companies (some
of which are subsidiaries of major financial institutions). In addition, the
Company faces increasing competition for deposits from non-bank institutions
such as brokerage firms and insurance firms with products such as money market
funds, mutual funds and annuities. Management considers the Company's reputation
for financial strength, superior customer service, convenience and product
offerings as a competitive advantage in attracting and retaining customers.

SUBSIDIARY ACTIVITIES
The Company has two wholly-owned subsidiaries: The Bank and PIC. The Bank
has three wholly-owned subsidiaries: Marathon Management Company, Inc.
("Marathon"), Patriot Investments and Insurance Company ("PIIC"), and Patriot
Commercial Leasing Co., Inc. ("PCLC"). Marathon provides title insurance
services through a joint venture partnership. At December 31, 2000, Marathon had
total assets of $228,000. PIIC markets certain nondeposit investment products.
At December 31, 2000, PIIC had total assets of $407,000. PCLC is a commercial
leasing company. At December 31, 2000, PCLC had total assets of $68.0 million.
PERSONNEL
As of December 31, 2000, the Bank had 211 full-time and 16 part-time
employees, none of whom was covered by a collective bargaining agreement.
Management believes that the Bank has good relations with its employees and
there are no pending or threatened labor disputes with its employees.
REGULATION AND SUPERVISION
GENERAL. The Company, as a bank holding company, is required to file
certain reports with, and otherwise comply with the rules and regulations of,
the FRB under the Bank Holding Company Act, as amended (the "BHCA"). In
addition, the activities of Pennsylvania-chartered commercial banks, such as the
Bank, are governed by the Pennsylvania Banking Code and the Federal Deposit
Insurance Act ("FDI Act").
The Bank is subject to extensive regulation, examination and supervision by
the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC"), and the Pennsylvania
Department of Banking ("PDB"). The Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan
Bank ("FHLB") System. Certain of the Bank's deposits are insured by the BIF
while most of its deposit accounts are insured by the SAIF. The Bank must file
reports with the PDB and the FDIC concerning its activities and financial
condition in addition to obtaining regulatory approvals prior to entering into
certain transactions such as mergers with, or acquisitions of, other banking
institutions. The PDB and/or the FDIC conduct periodic examinations to test the
Bank's safety and soundness and compliance with various regulatory requirements.
This regulation and supervision establishes a comprehensive framework of
activities in which an institution can engage and is intended primarily for the
protection of the insurance fund and depositors. The regulatory structure also
gives the regulatory authorities extensive discretion in connection with their
supervisory and enforcement activities and examination policies, including
policies with respect to the classification of assets and the establishment of
adequate loan loss reserves for regulatory purposes. Any change in such
regulatory requirements and policies, whether by the FRB, the FDIC or the
Congress, could have a material adverse impact on the Company, the Bank and
their operations. Certain of the regulatory requirements applicable to the Bank
and to the Company are referred to below or elsewhere herein. The description of
statutory provisions and regulations applicable to banking institutions and
their holding companies set forth in this Form 10-K does not purport to be a
complete description of such statutes and regulations and their effects on the
Bank and the Company.
HOLDING COMPANY REGULATION. The Company is a bank holding company
registered under the BHCA. As a bank holding company, the Company's activities
and those of the Bank are limited to the business of banking and activities
closely related or incidental to banking.
The BHCA prohibits a bank holding company, directly or indirectly, or
through one or more subsidiaries, from acquiring more than 5% of the voting
stock of another banking institution or holding company thereof, without prior
written approval of the FRB; acquiring or retaining, with certain exceptions,
more than 5% of a nonsubsidiary company engaged in activities other than those
permitted by the BHCA; or acquiring or retaining control of a depository
institution that is not insured by the FDIC.
Under FRB policy, a bank holding company is expected to act as a source of
financial strength to its subsidiary bank and to commit resources to support the
bank, i.e., to downstream funds to the bank. This support may be required at
times when, absent such policy, the bank holding company might not otherwise
provide such support. Any capital loans by a bank holding company to its
subsidiary bank are subordinate in
2
5
right of payment to deposits and to certain other indebtedness of the bank. In
the event of a bank holding company's bankruptcy, any commitment by the bank
holding company to a federal bank regulatory agency to maintain the capital of
its subsidiary bank will be assumed by the bankruptcy trustee and entitled to a
priority of payment.
NEW LEGISLATION. Landmark legislation in the financial services area was
signed into law by the President on November 12, 1999. The Gramm-Leach-Bliley
Act dramatically changes certain banking laws that have been in effect since the
early part of the 20th century. The most radical changes are that the separation
between banking and the securities businesses mandated by the Glass-Steagall Act
has now been removed, and the provisions of any state law that prohibits
affiliation between banking and insurance entities have been preempted.
Accordingly, the new legislation now permits firms engaged in underwriting and
dealing in securities, and insurance companies, to own banking entities, and
permits bank holding companies (and in some cases, banks) to own securities
firms and insurance companies. The provisions of federal law that preclude
banking entities from engaging in non-financially related activities, such as
manufacturing, have not been changed. For example, a manufacturing company
cannot own a bank and become a bank holding company, and a bank holding company
cannot own a subsidiary that is not engaged in financial activities, as defined
by the regulators.
The new legislation creates a new category of bank holding company called a
"financial holding company." In order to avail itself of the expanded financial
activities permitted under the new law, a bank holding company must notify the
Federal Reserve that it elects to be a financial holding company. A bank holding
company can make this election if it, and all its bank subsidiaries, are well
capitalized, well managed, and have at least a satisfactory Community
Reinvestment Act rating, each in accordance with the definitions prescribed by
the Federal Reserve and the regulators of the subsidiary banks. Once a bank
holding company makes such an election, and provided that the Federal Reserve
does not object to such election, the financial holding company may engage in
financial activities (i.e., securities underwriting, insurance underwriting, and
certain other activities that are financial in nature as determined by the
Federal Reserve) by simply giving a notice to the Federal Reserve within thirty
days after beginning such business or acquiring a company engaged in such
business. This makes the regulatory approval process to engage in financial
activities much more streamlined than it was under prior law.
The Company believes it qualifies to become a financial holding company,
but has not yet determined whether or not it will file to become treated as one.
The Federal Reserve has only recently promulgated rules implementing these
provisions of the new legislation, and the Company may wait to see what the
experience of other companies is under the new rules before it makes an
election.
The new law also permits certain financial activities to be undertaken by a
subsidiary of a national bank. As the Bank is not a national bank, these
provisions do not apply directly to the Bank. Generally, for financial
activities that are conducted as a principal, such as an underwriter or dealer
holding an inventory, a national bank must be one of the 100 largest national
banks in the United States and have debt that is rated investment grade.
However, smaller national banks may own a securities broker or an insurance
agency, or certain other financial agency entities under the new law. Under
prior law, national banks could only own an insurance agency if it was located
in a town of fewer than 5,000 residents, or under certain other conditions.
Under the new law, there is no longer any restriction on where the insurance
agency subsidiary of a national bank is located or does business. As a
Pennsylvania bank, the Bank is permitted under Pennsylvania law to own and
operate an insurance agency without restriction, and could also own and operate
a securities brokerage.
In addition to the foregoing provisions of the new law that make major
changes to the federal banking laws, the new legislation also makes a number of
additions and revisions to numerous federal laws that affect the business of
banking. For example, there is now a federal law on privacy with respect to
customer information held by banks. The federal banking regulators are
authorized to adopt rules regarding privacy for customer information. Banks must
establish a disclosure policy for non-public customer information, disclose the
policy to their customers, and give their customers the opportunity to object to
non-public information being disclosed to a third party. Also, the Community
Reinvestment Act has been amended by the new law to provide that small banks
(those under $250 million in assets) that previously received an "outstanding"
on
3
6
their last CRA exam will not have to undergo another CRA exam for five years, or
for four years if their last exam was "satisfactory." In addition, any CRA
agreement entered into between a bank and a community group must be disclosed,
with both the bank and the group receiving any grants from the bank detailing
the amount of funding provided and what it was used for. The new law also
requires a bank's policy on fees for transactions at ATM machines by
non-customers to be conspicuously posted on the ATM. A number of other
provisions affecting other general regulatory requirements for banking
institutions were also adopted.
It is too early to tell what effect the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act may have on
the Company and the Bank. The intent and scope of the act is positive for the
financial industry, and is an attempt to modernize federal banking laws and make
U. S. institutions competitive with those from other countries. While the
legislation makes significant changes in U. S. banking law, such changes may not
directly affect the Company's business unless it decides to avail itself of new
opportunities available under the new law. The Company does not expect any of
the provisions of the new Act to have a material adverse effect on its existing
operations, or to significantly increase its costs.
Separately from the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, Congress is often considering
financial industry legislation. The Company cannot predict how any new
legislation, or new rules adopted by the federal banking agencies, may affect
its business in the future.
CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS. The FRB has adopted risk-based capital guidelines
for bank holding companies, such as the Company. The required minimum ratio of
total capital to risk-weighted assets (including off-balance sheet activities,
such as standby letters of credit) is 8.0%. At least half of the total capital
is required to be "Tier 1 capital," consisting principally of common
stockholders' equity, noncumulative perpetual preferred stock and minority
interests in the equity accounts of consolidated subsidiaries, less goodwill.
The remainder ("Tier 2 capital") may consist of a limited amount of subordinated
debt and intermediate-term preferred stock, certain hybrid capital instruments
and other debt securities, perpetual preferred stock, and a limited amount of
the general loan loss allowance.
In addition to the risk-based capital guidelines, the FRB established
minimum leverage ratio (Tier 1 capital to average total assets) guidelines for
bank holding companies. These guidelines provide for a minimum leverage ratio of
3% for those bank holding companies which have the highest regulatory
examination ratings and are not contemplating or experiencing significant growth
or expansion. All other bank holding companies are required to maintain a
leverage ratio of at least 1% to 2% above the 3% stated minimum. The Company is
in compliance with these guidelines. The Bank is subject to similar capital
requirements adopted by the FDIC.
The risk-based capital standards are required to take adequate account of
interest rate risk, concentration of credit risk and the risks of
non-traditional activities.
Under the FDIC prompt corrective action regulations, the FDIC is required
to take certain supervisory actions against undercapitalized institutions, the
severity of which depends upon the institution's degree of undercapitalization.
Generally, a bank is considered "well capitalized" if its ratio of total capital
to risk-weighted assets is at least 10%, its ratio of Tier I (core) capital to
risk-weighted assets is at least 6%, its ratio of core capital to total assets
is at least 5%, and it is not subject to any order or directive by the FDIC to
meet a specific capital level. A bank generally is considered "adequately
capitalized" if its ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets is at least
8%, its ratio of Tier I (core) capital to risk-weighted assets is at least 4%,
and its ratio of core capital to total assets is at least 4% (3% if the
institution receives the highest CAMEL rating). A bank that has lower ratios of
capital is categorized as "undercapitalized," "significantly under capitalized,"
or "critically undercapitalized." Subject to a narrow exception, the banking
regulator is required to appoint a receiver or conservator for an institution
that is "critically undercapitalized." The regulation also provides that a
capital restoration plan must be filed with the FDIC within 45 days of the date
a bank receives notice that it is "undercapitalized," "significantly
undercapitalized" or "critically undercapitalized." Compliance with the plan
must be guaranteed by any parent holding company. In addition, numerous
mandatory supervisory actions become immediately applicable to an
undercapitalized institution, including, but not limited to, increased
monitoring by regulators and restrictions on growth, capital distributions and
expansion. The FDIC could also take any one of a number of discretionary
supervisory actions, including the issuance of a capital
4
7
directive and the replacement of senior executive officers and directors. At
December 31, 2000, both the Company and the Bank were "well capitalized."
INSURANCE OF DEPOSIT ACCOUNTS. Although most of the deposits of the Bank
are presently insured by the SAIF, certain of its deposits are insured by the
BIF (the deposit insurance fund that covers most commercial bank deposits). Both
the BIF and the SAIF are statutorily required to maintain a 1.25% of insured
reserve deposits ratio. Both the BIF and the SAIF currently exceed the 1.25%
ratio. Therefore, most institutions, including the Bank, presently pay no
deposit insurance premiums. The FDIC must assess deposit insurance premiums if
the 1.25% ratio is not met, and may impose premiums on under capitalized or
unsafe institutions.
While most banks do not pay deposit insurance, all institutions are
assessed for payment of the FICO bonds. Full pro rata sharing of the FICO
payments between BIF and SAIF members began on January 1, 2000. The FDIC resets
the FICO assessment rate each calendar quarter. The current annual rate is
$0.196 per each $1,000 of deposits. Under the FDI Act, insurance of deposits may
be terminated by the FDIC upon a finding that the institution has engaged in
unsafe or unsound practices, is in an unsafe or unsound condition to continue
operations or has violated any applicable law, regulation, rule, order or
condition imposed by the FDIC. The management of the Bank does not know of any
practice, condition or violation that might lead to termination of deposit
insurance.
LOANS TO ONE BORROWER. Applicable regulations limit the dollar amount of
loans that the Bank may have outstanding to any one borrower, or group of
affiliated borrowers, to 15% of the capital and surplus of the Bank. As of
December 31, 2000, this limitation was equal to $10.4 million. There are
exceptions from the limitation for certain secured loans, depending upon the
amount and type of collateral.
LIMITATION ON CAPITAL DISTRIBUTIONS. Dividend payments by the Bank to the
Company are subject to the Pennsylvania Banking Code of 1965 and the FDI Act.
Under the Pennsylvania Banking Code, no dividends may be paid except from
"accumulated net earnings" (generally, undivided profits). Under the FDI Act, no
dividends may be paid by an insured bank if the bank is in arrears in the
payment of any insurance assessment due to the FDIC. Under current banking laws,
the Bank would be limited to approximately $23.6 million of dividends in 2001
plus an additional amount equal to the Bank's net profit for 2001, up to the
date of any such dividend declaration.
State and federal regulatory authorities have adopted standards for the
maintenance of adequate levels of capital by banks. Adherence to such standards
further limits the ability of the Bank to pay dividends to the Company.
INTERSTATE BANKING. The Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching
Efficiency Act of 1994 (the "Interstate Banking Law"), amended various federal
banking laws to provide for nationwide interstate banking, interstate bank
mergers and interstate branching. The interstate banking provisions allow for
the acquisition by a bank holding company of a bank located in another state.
TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES. The Bank's authority to engage in
transactions with related parties or "affiliates" (e.g., any company that
controls or is under common control with an institution, including the Company
and its nonbanking subsidiaries) is limited by Sections 23A and 23B of the
Federal Reserve Act ("FRA"). Section 23A limits the aggregate amount of covered
transactions with any individual affiliate to 10% of the capital and surplus of
the Bank. The aggregate amount of covered transactions with all affiliates is
limited to 20% of the Bank's capital and surplus. Certain transactions with
affiliates are required to be secured by collateral in an amount and of a type
described in Section 23A and the purchase of low quality assets from affiliates
is generally prohibited. Section 23B generally provides that certain
transactions with affiliates, including loans and asset purchases, must be on
terms and under circumstances, including credit standards, that are
substantially the same or at least as favorable to the institution as those
prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with non-affiliated
companies. In addition, banks are prohibited from lending to any affiliate that
is engaged in activities that are not permissible for bank holding companies and
no bank may purchase the securities of any affiliate other than a subsidiary.
The Bank's authority to extend credit to executive officers, directors and
10% shareholders ("insiders"), as well as entities such persons control, is
governed by Sections 22(g) and 22(h) of the FRA and
5
8
Regulation O thereunder. Among other things, such loans are required to be made
on terms substantially the same as those offered to unaffiliated individuals and
to not involve more than the normal risk of repayment. There is an exception for
loans made pursuant to a benefit or compensation program that is widely
available to all employees of the institution and does not give preference to
insiders over other employees. Regulation O also places individual and aggregate
limits on the amount of loans the Bank may make to insiders based, in part, on
the Bank's capital position and requires certain board approval procedures to be
followed.
ENFORCEMENT. Under the FDI Act, the FDIC has primary enforcement
responsibility over state nonmember banks and has the authority to bring actions
against the institution and all institution-affiliated parties, including
stockholders, and any attorneys, appraisers and accountants who knowingly or
recklessly participate in wrongful action likely to have an adverse effect on an
insured institution. Formal enforcement action may range from the issuance of a
capital directive or cease and desist order, removal of officers and/or
directors, to institution of receivership or conservatorship, or termination of
deposit insurance. Civil penalties cover a wide range of violations and can
amount to $25,000 per day, or even $1 million per day in especially egregious
cases. Federal law also establishes criminal penalties for certain violations.
STANDARDS FOR SAFETY AND SOUNDNESS. The federal banking agencies have
adopted Interagency Guidelines Prescribing Standards for Safety and Soundness
("Guidelines") and a final rule to implement safety and soundness standards
required under the FDI Act. The Guidelines set forth the safety and soundness
standards that the federal banking agencies use to identify and address problems
at insured depository institutions before capital becomes impaired. The
standards set forth in the Guidelines address internal controls and information
systems; internal audit system; credit underwriting; loan documentation;
interest rate risk exposure; asset growth; and compensation, fees and benefits.
If the appropriate federal banking agency determines that an institution fails
to meet any standard prescribed by the Guidelines, the agency may require the
institution to submit to the agency an acceptable plan to achieve compliance
with the standard, as required by the FDI Act. The final rule establishes
deadlines for the submission and review of such safety and soundness compliance
plans when such plans are required.
FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM. The Federal Reserve Board regulations require
depositary institutions to maintain non-interest earning reserves against their
transaction accounts (primarily NOW and regular checking accounts). During
fiscal 2000, the Federal Reserve Board regulations generally required that
reserves be maintained against aggregate transaction accounts as follows: for
accounts aggregating $37.3 million or less (subject to adjustment by the Federal
Reserve Board) the reserve requirement is 3%; and for accounts aggregating
greater than $37.3 million, the reserve requirement is $1.119 million plus 10%
(subject to adjustment by the Federal Reserve Board between 8% and 14%) against
that portion of total transaction accounts in excess of $37.3 million. The first
$5.5 million of otherwise reservable balances (subject to adjustments by the
Federal Reserve Board) were exempted from the reserve requirements. The Bank is
in compliance with the foregoing requirements. The balances maintained to meet
the reserve requirements imposed by the Federal Reserve Board may be used to
satisfy liquidity requirements imposed by the FDIC.
FEDERAL AND STATE TAXATION
Federal Taxation
GENERAL. The Company and its subsidiaries report their income on a
consolidated basis using the accrual method of accounting, and are subject to
federal income taxation in the same manner as other corporations with some
exceptions, including particularly the Bank's reserve for bad debts discussed
below. The following discussion of tax matters is intended only as a summary and
does not purport to be a comprehensive description of the tax rules applicable
to the Company. For its 2000 taxable year, the Company is subject to a maximum
federal income tax rate of 34%.
BAD DEBT RESERVES. As a large commercial bank, the Bank is permitted to
recognize bad debt expense based on actual chargeoffs. Prior to its conversion
to a commercial bank in May 1997, the Bank was a thrift institution. For fiscal
years beginning prior to December 31, 1995, thrift institutions which qualified
under certain definitional tests and other conditions of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986 (the "Code") were permitted to use certain favorable provisions to
calculate their deductions from taxable income for annual
6
9
additions to their bad debt reserve. A reserve could be established for bad
debts on qualifying real property loans (generally secured by interests in real
property improved or to be improved) under (i) the Percentage of Taxable Income
Method (the "PTI Method") or (ii) the Experience Method. The reserve for
nonqualifying loans was computed using the Experience Method.
The Small Business Job Protection Act of 1996 (the "1996 Act"), as modified
by the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997 (the "1997 Act"), requires savings
institutions to recapture (i.e., take into income) certain portions of their
accumulated bad debt reserves. The 1996 Act repeals the reserve method of
accounting for bad debts effective for tax years beginning after 1995. Thrift
institutions that would be treated as small banks are allowed to utilize the
Experience Method applicable to such institutions, while thrift institutions
that are treated as large banks (those generally exceeding $500 million in
assets) are required to use only the specific charge-off method. Thus, the PTI
Method of accounting for bad debts is no longer available for any financial
institution.
A thrift institution required to change its method of computing reserves
for bad debts will treat such change as a change in method of accounting,
initiated by the taxpayer, and having been made with the consent of the IRS. Any
Section 481(a) adjustment required to be taken into income with respect to such
change generally will be taken into income ratably over a six-taxable year
period, beginning with the first taxable year beginning after 1995, subject to
the residential loan requirement.
Under the residential loan requirement provision, the recapture required by
the 1996 Act will be suspended for each of two successive taxable years,
beginning with the Bank's current taxable year, in which the Bank originates a
minimum of certain residential loans based upon the average of the principal
amounts of such loans made by the Bank during its six taxable years preceding
its current taxable year.
Under the 1996 Act, for its current and future taxable years, the Bank is
permitted to make additions to its tax bad debt reserves. In addition, since the
Bank's tax bad debt reserves as of December 31, 1987 exceeded its tax bad debt
reserves as of December 31, 1995 it is not required to recapture any income.
DISTRIBUTIONS. Under the 1996 Act, if the Bank makes "non-dividend
distributions" to the Company, such distributions will be considered to have
been made from the Bank's unrecaptured tax bad debt reserves (including the
balance of its reserves as of December 31, 1987) to the extent thereof, and then
from the Bank's supplemental reserve for losses on loans, to the extent thereof,
and an amount based on the amount distributed (but not in excess of the amount
of such reserves) will be included in the Bank's income. Non-dividend
distributions include distributions in excess of the Bank's current and
accumulated earnings and profits, as calculated for federal income tax purposes,
distributions in redemption of stock, and distributions in partial or complete
liquidation. Dividends paid out of the Bank's current or accumulated earnings
and profits will not be so included in the Bank's income.
The amount of additional taxable income triggered by a non-dividend is an
amount that, when reduced by the tax attributable to the income, is equal to the
amount of the distribution. Thus, if the Bank makes a non-dividend distribution
to the Company, approximately one and one-half times the amount of such
distribution (but not in excess of the amount of such reserves) would be
includable in income for federal income tax purposes, assuming a 35% federal
corporate income tax rate. The Bank does not intend to pay dividends that would
result in a recapture of any portion of its bad debt reserves.
CORPORATE ALTERNATIVE MINIMUM TAX. The Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the "Code") imposes a tax on a corporation's alternative minimum
taxable income ("AMTI") at a rate of 20% if such alternative minimum tax ("AMT")
exceeds the income tax the corporation would otherwise pay for the taxable year.
The excess of the tax bad debt reserve deduction using the percentage of taxable
income method over the deduction that would have been allowable under the
experience method is treated as a preference item for purposes of computing the
AMTI. Only 90% of AMTI can be offset by net operating loss carryovers. AMTI is
increased by an amount equal to 75% of the amount by which the Bank's adjusted
current earnings exceeds its AMTI (determined without regard to this preference
and prior to reduction for net operating losses). The Bank does not typically
expect to be subject to the AMT.

DIVIDENDS RECEIVED DEDUCTION AND OTHER MATTERS. The Company may exclude
from its income 100% of dividends received from the Bank as a member of the same
affiliated group of corporations. The corporate dividends received deduction is
generally 70% in the case of dividends received from unaffiliated corporations
with which the Company and the Bank will not file a consolidated tax return,
except that if the Company owns more than 20% of the stock of a corporation
distributing a dividend, 80% of any dividends received may be deducted.
State Taxation
COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA. The Bank is subject to a "Bank Shares Tax"
which is imposed on every bank having capital stock located within Pennsylvania.
The Bank Shares Tax is based on the value of the bank's shares as of the
preceding January 1st. The taxable amount is computed by adding the book value
of capital stock paid in, the book value of the surplus and the book value of
undivided profits, and then deducting from that total an amount equal to the
percentage that the book value of the bank's federal obligations and state
obligations bears to the book value of the bank's total assets. This value is
calculated on the basis of the current year and the preceding five years, but,
if a bank has not been in existence for six years, the taxable amount is
computed by adding the value for the number of years that the bank has been in
existence and dividing the resulting sum by that number of years. The Bank
Shares Tax rate is 1.25% of the taxable amount. Banks subject to the Bank Shares
Tax are exempt from all other corporate taxes imposed by Pennsylvania.
Corporations doing business in Pennsylvania and not subject to Bank Shares
Tax are subject to Pennsylvania Corporate Net Income Tax ("CNIT"). The CNIT is
an annual excise tax and is measured by the Corporation's taxable income as
determined under the Code. When a domestic or foreign corporation's entire
business is not transacted wholly within Pennsylvania, such taxable income must
allocated and apportioned to determine that portion subject to the CNIT. The
CNIT rate is 9.99%. Pennsylvania also subjects corporations to the Pennsylvania
Capital Stock and Foreign Franchise Tax.
Prior to January 22, 1999, the Company was subject to the Pennsylvania CNIT
and the Pennsylvania Capital Stock and Foreign Franchise Tax because it was a
foreign corporation doing business in Pennsylvania. The Company's Pennsylvania
CNIT was calculated on an unconsolidated basis and adjusted to reflect the
appropriate allocation and apportionment requirements. After January 22, 1999,
the Company became subject to the Pennsylvania Capital Stock Tax and CNIT.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
The Bank has 18 banking offices, three (3) of which are located in
Montgomery County, four (4) of which are located in Berks County, five (5) of
which are located in Lehigh County, four (4) of which are located in Northampton
County, and two (2) of which are located in Chester County, Pennsylvania. The
Bank owns 3 and leases 15 of the banking office properties.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company is a defendant in various legal actions arising from normal
business activities. Management believes that those actions are either without
merit or that the ultimate liability, if any, resulting from such actions will
not have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial
position or results of operations.

(1) In 1996, a non-recurring after-tax charge of $836,000 was recorded,
representing the special deposit insurance assessment levied against all
SAIF member financial institutions by the FDIC to recapitalize its SAIF
fund. In 1999, a non-recurring after-tax charge of $ 3,349,000 was recorded
in connection with an internet initiative. In 2000, non-recurring after-tax
charges of $3,224,000 were recorded including $1,453,000 in connection with
restructuring of operations, $986,000 of expenses incurred by the
restructured operations and $785,000 in connection with the resignation of
Patriot's former President and CEO.

(2) All ratios are based on average monthly balances during the indicated
periods. Return on average assets and return on average equity are
calculated before the cumulative effect of change in method of accounting
for income taxes.
(3) The average interest rate spread represents the difference between the
weighted average yield on interest-earning assets and the weighted average
cost of interest-bearing liabilities and equity.
(4) The net interest margin represents tax-equivalent net interest income as a
percent of average interest-earning assets.
(5) For definitions and further information relating to regulatory capital
requirements, see footnote 18 of the consolidated financial statements.
(6) Regulatory capital ratios for 1996 are calculated under OTS guidelines. The
ratios for 1997 through 2000 are calculated using Federal Reserve
guidelines due to the conversion of Patriot Bank to a state chartered
commercial bank in May 1997.
(7) Non-performing assets consist of non-performing loans and real estate owned
(REO). Non-performing loans consist of non-accrual loans, while REO
consists of real estate acquired through foreclosure and real estate
acquired by acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure.
(8) Cash earnings per share is calculated by the elimination of non-cash
expenses such as goodwill amortization, ESOP expense, and MRP expense

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
In addition to historical information, this discussion and analysis of
Patriot Bank Corp. and Subsidiaries (Patriot) contains forward-looking
statements. The forward-looking statements contained in this discussion and
analysis are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual
results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking
statements. Important factors that might cause such a difference include, but
are not limited to, those discussed in the "Management's Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations." Readers are cautioned not to
place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which reflect
management's analysis only as of the date of this report. Patriot undertakes no
obligation to publicly revise or update these forward-looking statements to
reflect events or circumstances that arise after the date of this report.
Patriot's financial results include the following significant events:
CAPITAL TRANSACTIONS. Patriot became a publicly owned company on
December 1, 1995, when it issued 3,769,125 shares of common stock and
raised net proceeds of $36,652,000. On September 22, 1997, and November 21,
1996, Patriot paid special 20% stock dividends. On May 14, 1998, Patriot
distributed a 25% stock split. For comparative purposes, per share amounts,
as presented herein, have been adjusted to reflect the stock
split/dividends. During 1996, 1997, 1998 and 1999 Patriot repurchased
338,000, 1,246,000, 538,000 and 377,000 shares of its common stock at a
cost of $6,892,000, $13,554,000, $2,517,000 and $4,808,000, respectively.
Patriot did not repurchase any shares of its common stock in 2000.
RESIGNATION. On November 3, 2000, Patriot's former CEO resigned.
Patriot satisfied a contractual obligation related to the former CEO, which
resulted in a non-recurring, after-tax charge of $785,000.
BANK ACQUISITION. On January 22, 1999, Patriot completed the
acquisition of First Lehigh Corporation ("First Lehigh"), a commercial
banking company with $104,478,000 in total assets and $93,905,000 in total
deposits. Patriot issued 1,640,000 shares of common stock for all the
outstanding common and preferred stock of First Lehigh. The transaction had
a total value of $21,047,000. The acquisition was accounted for as a
purchase, and accordingly, the results of operations of First Lehigh are
included in Patriot's consolidated statement of income from the date of
acquisition. Goodwill and core deposit intangibles arising from the
transaction totaled $12,439,000 which are being amortized over 15 years.
LEASING ACQUISITION. On November 6, 1998, Patriot completed its
acquisition of Keystone Financial Leasing Company (KFL). KFL was a
small-ticket commercial leasing company which had total assets of
$43,327,000 including lease receivables of $42,764,000 at the date of
acquisition. KFL was purchased for $6,258,000 in cash plus contingent
consideration based upon future revenues of KFL. The acquisition was
accounted for as a purchase. Goodwill arising from the transaction totaled
$2,267,000 and is being amortized over 15 years.
RETIREMENT. Effective June 30, 1998, Patriot's former chairman
retired. Patriot satisfied its contractual obligation related to the former
chairman, which resulted in a non-recurring, after-tax charge of $634,000.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2000 AND 1999
SUMMARY. For the year ended December 31, 2000, Patriot reported net income
of $2,009,000 or $.34 diluted earnings per share. Included in the year 2000
earnings are non-recurring, after-tax charges totaling $3,224,000 ($785,000
related to the resignation of Patriot's CEO, a one time restructuring charge of
$1,453,000 and non-recurring expenses of $986,000). Core earnings excluding
these non-recurring charges were $5,233,000 or $.89 diluted earnings per share.
For the year ended December 31, 1999, Patriot reported
13
16
net income of $2,200,000 or $.37 diluted earnings per share including costs
related to the launch of an internet initiative of $3,349,000 ($5,067,000 before
tax). Patriot's core banking operations exclusive of that internet initiative
for the year ended December 31, 1999 generated $5,549,000 or $.94 diluted
earnings per share. Excluding the non-recurring charges, return on average
equity was 10.30% for 2000 compared to 10.10% for 1999.
NET INTEREST INCOME. Net interest income for 2000 was $22,672,000 compared
to $24,034,000 in 1999. The yield on Patriot's interest earning assets continued
it's favorable trend and increased to 7.82% for the year 2000 compared to 7.35%
for 1999 in response to growth in higher yielding commercial loan and lease
portfolios. The cost of Patriot's interest bearing liabilities was 5.58% for
2000 compared to 4.96% for 1999. The increase in funding costs resulted from
generally higher interest rates, especially with regard to short-term funding.
Much of Patriot's asset growth resulted from the origination of commercial loans
and leases. Patriot's asset growth was funded through deposit growth and
borrowings.
Interest on loans was $55,531,000 for 2000 compared to $45,590,000 for
1999. The average balance of loans in 2000 was $666,171,000 with an average
yield of 8.33% compared to an average balance of $571,966,000 with an average
yield of 7.97% in 1999. The increase in average balance was due to increased
originations of commercial loans and leases. Also, the average balance of
mortgage loans was maintained at a consistent level during 2000 as most mortgage
loan originations were sold; additionally, pursuant to an interest rate risk
strategy Patriot sold approximately $50,000,000 in residential mortgage loans
from the portfolio during the third quarter of 2000. The increase in average
yield is primarily a result of commercial loans and leases representing a larger
percentage of the loan portfolio.
Interest on Patriot's investment portfolio (investment and mortgage-backed
securities) was $28,190,000 for 2000 compared to $29,656,000 for 1999. The
average balance of the investment portfolio was $412,712,000 with an average
yield of 7.17% for 2000 compared to an average balance of $457,093,000 with an
average yield of 6.78% for 1999. The decrease in average balance was primarily
due to normal amortization as Patriot has allowed investment and mortgage-backed
securities to runoff. The increase in average yield is primarily a result of
repricings of adjustable rate securities.
Interest on total deposits was $30,709,000 for 2000 compared to $20,565,000
for 1999. The average balance of total deposits was $596,618,000 with an average
cost of 5.15% for 2000 compared to an average balance of $468,814,000 with an
average cost of 4.38% for 1999. The increase in average balance was primarily
the result of an increase in Patriot's brokered jumbo deposit program, coupled
with aggressive marketing of core deposits (money market, checking and savings
accounts). The increase in average cost was the result of the increase in jumbo
deposits and market pricing on retail deposits. Total brokered jumbo deposits
approximated $204,917,000 and $136,113,000 at December 31, 2000 and 1999,
respectively. The average balance of retail deposits (total deposits less
brokered jumbo deposits) was $401,441,000 with an average cost of 4.36% for 2000
compared to an average balance of $359,317,000 with an average cost of 3.96% for
1999. The increase in average balance and yield was primarily the result of
Patriot's brokered jumbo deposit program, offset by growth of core deposits.
Interest on borrowings was $30,762,000 in 2000 compared to $30,945,000 in
1999. The average balance of borrowings was $504,666,000 with an average cost of
6.01% for 2000 compared to an average balance of $568,922,000 with an average
cost of 5.43% for 1999. The decrease in average balance was due to less use of
borrowings to fund the growth in the balance sheet. The increase in average cost
was due to generally higher interest rates.
SPREAD ANALYSIS. The following table sets forth Patriot's average balances
and the yields on those balances for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and
1998. The yields and costs are derived by dividing
14
17
income or expense by the average balance of assets or liabilities, respectively,
for the periods shown, except where noted otherwise. The yields and costs
include fees, which are considered adjustments to yields.

PROVISION FOR CREDIT LOSSES. The provision for credit losses was
$1,125,000 for 2000 compared to $1,200,000 for 1999. See "Credit Quality" for a

NON-INTEREST INCOME. Total non-interest income was $7,124,000 for 2000
compared to $5,945,000 for 1999. The increase was primarily due to an increased
emphasis on recurring non-interest income including loan and deposit fees, ATM
fees and mortgage banking activities.
NON-INTEREST EXPENSE. Total non-interest expense was $26,844,000 for 2000
compared to $26,402,000 for 1999. Non-interest expense in 2000 included $785,000
related to the resignation of Patriot's CEO a one time restructuring charge of
$1,453,000 and non-recurring expenses of $986,000 related to the restructuring
of Patriot's mortgage company and call center. Non-interest expense in 1999
included $5,067,000 in costs incurred related to the launch of an internet
initiative. The increase in recurring non-interest expense reflects growth in
Patriot's operations. Patriot's efficiency ratio was 73.70% in 2000 compared to
71.17% in 1999 exclusive of the non-recurring charges in each year.
INCOME TAX PROVISION. The income tax provision was $(182,000) for 2000
compared to $177,000 for 1999. The effective tax rate was (9.96)% for 2000
compared to 7.44% for 1999. The decrease in the effective tax rate is the result
of the tax impact of the non-recurring costs in 2000 resulting in an increase in
Patriot's proportion of tax exempt income to net income. Patriot's tax exempt
income results from tax planning strategies, which include investments in
tax-exempt securities. Excluding the non-recurring costs in 2000 and 1999,
Patriot's effective tax rate was 22.03% and 25.53% for 2000 and 1999,
respectively.

FINANCIAL CONDITION
LOAN PORTFOLIO. Patriot's primary loan products are commercial loans and
leases, home equity loans on existing owner-occupied residential real estate,
and fixed-rate and adjustable-rate mortgage loans. Patriot also offers
residential construction loans and other consumer loans.
COMMERCIAL. Patriot originates commercial loans with an emphasis on small
businesses, professionals and entrepreneurs within Patriot's local markets. Most
of Patriot's commercial loan relationships have exposure of $500,000 or less.
Commercial loans are generally secured by real estate and personal guarantees.
Patriot also originates small-ticket commercial leases to businesses located in
Pennsylvania and other contiguous states. The leases are considered financing
leases for financial accounting purposes.
CONSUMER. Patriot offers variable rate (based upon prime rate) home equity
lines of credit and fixed-rate home equity loans, which are generally secured by
single-family, owner-occupied residential properties. Patriot also offers a
variety of other consumer loans, which primarily consist of installment loans
secured by automobiles, credit cards, unsecured lines of credit and other loans
secured by deposit accounts.
MORTGAGE. Patriot offers both fixed-rate and adjustable-rate mortgage
loans secured by one- to four-family residences, primarily owner-occupied,
located in Patriot's primary market area. Patriot generally underwrites its
first mortgage loans in accordance with underwriting standards set by the
Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corp. (FHLMC) and the Federal National Mortgage
Association (FNMA). Patriot also originates residential construction loans. Most
of the residential mortgage loans originated by Patriot are sold into the
secondary markets. Patriot generally only retains certain adjustable rate and
balloon residential mortgages in its portfolio.
At December 31, 2000, Patriot's total loan portfolio was $656,479,000
compared to a total loan portfolio of $628,060,000 at December 31, 1999. The
increase in the loan portfolio was primarily the result of an emphasis placed on
commercial lending and leasing relationships. Pursuant to an interest rate risk
strategy, Patriot sold approximately $50,000,000 in residential mortgage loans
from the portfolio during the third quarter of 2000.
The following table sets forth the composition of Patriot's loan portfolio
in dollar amounts and in percentages of the respective portfolios at the dates

CREDIT QUALITY. Patriot's Asset Review and Credit Administration
Committees establish acceptable credit risks to be undertaken, the policies and
procedures to be used to control credit risk and the corrective actions to be
taken when credit challenges are encountered. These committees also review
credit quality on a monthly basis, classify assets in accordance with applicable
management guidelines and regulations, make recommendations to Patriot's Board
of Directors with regard to placing assets on non-accrual status, charge-offs
and write-downs and the appropriate level of credit reserves.
Patriot accrues interest on all loans until management determines that the
collection of interest is doubtful. In no event does Patriot continue accruing
interest on loans contractually past due 90 days or more. Upon discontinuance of
interest accrual, all unpaid accrued interest is reversed.
Patriot generally requires appraisals on an annual basis on foreclosed
properties. Patriot generally conducts inspections on foreclosed properties on
at least a quarterly basis.
At December 31, 2000, non-performing assets were $3,950,000 or 0.35% of
total assets compared to $1,718,000 or .15% of total assets at December 31,
1999. Although the ratio of non-performing assets to total assets has grown
during the past year, Patriot continues to perform favorably at levels well
below national peer group statistics. Patriot controls its level of
non-performing assets by quickly identifying problem assets and resolving them
in an expedient manner. At December 31, 2000, Patriot had no restructured loans
within the meaning of SFAS No. 15 and no potential problem loans within the
meaning of the Securities and Exchange Commission Guide 3.

ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES. Patriot's total loans consist of four
distinct portfolios. Mortgage loans comprise 40.39% of total loans. The mortgage
loan portfolio is mature as Patriot has been in the mortgage lending business
for many years. Consumer loans comprise 11.15% of total loans and consists
mostly of home equity loans and home equity lines of credit. The consumer loan
portfolio is also mature as Patriot has been in this business for many years as
well. The level of reserves allocated to mortgage and consumer lending have been
consistently based on extensive historical data regarding, among other things,
delinquencies, charge-offs and recoveries. Commercial loans comprise 38.25% of
total loans. Patriot entered the commercial lending business in 1996. Commercial
leases comprise 10.21% of total loans. Patriot entered the commercial leasing
business in 1998. Since entering the commercial loan and lease businesses,
Patriot has maintained reserves for these portfolios at the high end of the
acceptable range as determined by management due in part to limited historical
data regarding delinquencies, charge-offs and recoveries. As the commercial loan
and lease portfolios have matured, Patriot has analyzed recent historical data
regarding delinquencies, charge-offs and recoveries to determine the appropriate
level of reserves. In 2000, Patriot determined that its asset quality statistics
were better than originally anticipated and better than most peer institutions.
This determination allowed Patriot to maintain its reserves for commercial loans
and leases at levels closer to the midpoint of the acceptable range. In 1999,
Patriot acquired First Lehigh Corp which resulted in an increase in the overall
allowance as a percentage of total loans as necessitated by First Lehigh's
historical asset quality statistics and underwriting standards. Also the First
Lehigh acquisition inflated the reserve as a percentage of total loans. As the
First Lehigh loan portfolio has matured the reserve as a percentage of total
loans has returned to historical levels, Patriot's percentage of loan loss
reserves to total loans decreased from .96% in 1999 to .88% in 2000.
During 2000 Patriot's loan and lease portfolio grew from $628,060,000 at
December 31, 1999, to $656,479,000. Almost all of this growth was in Patriot's
commercial loan and lease portfolio. Based on the aforementioned criteria,
management deemed it appropriate to add $1,125,000 to Patriot's allowance to
21
24
adequately address the risk inherent in Patriot's portfolio. Patriot believes
that although non-performing asset ratios have trended upward during 2000, the
allowance provided appropriate coverage of credit losses at December 31, 2000.
The following table sets forth management's allocation of the allowance for
credit losses at the dates indicated:

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS. Cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2000,
were $27,076,000 compared to $8,161,000 at December 31, 1999. The increase in
cash and cash equivalents was temporary and primarily due to timing differences
related to the repayment of borrowed funds.
SECURITIES. Investment securities consist of US Treasury and government
agency securities, corporate debt and equity securities. Mortgage-backed
securities consist of securities generally insured by either the FHLMC, FNMA or
the Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA). Collateralized mortgage
obligations consist of securities issued by the FHLMC, FNMA or private issuers.
Total investment and mortgage-backed securities at December 31, 2000, were
$387,378,000 compared to $435,381,000 at December 31, 1999. The decrease in
investment and mortgage-backed securities was primarily due to normal
amortization. During 1999 Patriot transferred $366,628,000 in investment
securities, principally consisting of agency, mortgage-backed and CMO
securities, from an available for sale classification to held to maturity to
reflect Patriot's intentions to hold the securities to maturity. The transaction
recorded an unrealized loss on the transferred securities of $4,758,000 net of
tax, which continues to be reported as a component of accumulated other
comprehensive income (loss) and is being amortized over the remaining lives of
those securities.

OTHER ASSETS. Premises and equipment at December 31, 2000 were $7,574,000
compared to $11,376,000 at December 31, 1999. The decrease is primarily due to
the sale of First Lehigh's corporate headquarters. Accrued interest receivable
at December 31, 2000 was $5,125,000 compared to $4,845,000 at December 31, 1999.
The increase is associated with an overall increase in the yield of
interest-earning assets. Cash surrender value life insurance at December 31,
2000 was $16,483,000 compared to $15,700,000 at December 31, 1999, this reflects
normal accretion. Goodwill and other intangibles were $13,274,000 at December
31, 2000 compared to $14,189,000 at December 31, 1999, this decrease is
associated with normal
26
29
amortization. Other assets at December 31, 2000 were $8,729,000 compared to
$12,648,000 at December 31, 1999. The decrease is primarily due to the timing of
various receivables.
DEPOSITS. Deposits are generally attracted from within Patriot's primary
market area through the offering of various deposit instruments, including
checking accounts, money market accounts, savings accounts, certificates of
deposit and retirement savings plans. Patriot also solicits brokered jumbo
deposits from various sources.
Total deposits at December 31, 2000 were $651,958,000 compared to
$502,002,000 at December 31, 1999. Of that increase, $60,000,000 came from
certificate of deposits, $14,000,000 came from transaction-based deposit
accounts. The remaining $85,000,000 of that increase came from Patriot's
brokered jumbo deposit program. Patriot uses brokered jumbo deposits as an
alternative to borrowings.

BORROWINGS. Patriot utilizes borrowings as a source of funds for its
growth strategy and its asset/liability management. Patriot is eligible to
obtain advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) upon the security of the
FHLB common stock it owns and certain of its residential mortgages and
mortgage-backed securities, provided certain standards related to
creditworthiness have been met. FHLB advances are made pursuant to several
different credit programs, each of which has its own interest rate and range of
maturities. The maximum amount that the FHLB will advance to member institutions
fluctuates from time to time in accordance with the policies of the FHLB.
Patriot also uses repurchase agreements as a funding source. Repurchase
agreements are generally short-term obligations collateralized by government
agency and other securities.

STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY. Total stockholders' equity was $51,800,000 at
December 31, 2000 compared to $49,768,000 at December 31, 1999. The increase was
a result of net income, cash dividends paid and a decrease in the net unrealized
loss on investment and mortgage-backed securities available for sale.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
LIQUIDITY. Patriot's primary sources of funds are deposits, principal and
interest payments on loans, principal and interest payments on investment and
mortgage-backed securities, FHLB advances and repurchase agreements. While
maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and investment and mortgage-
backed securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit inflows and loan and
mortgage-backed security prepayments are greatly influenced by economic
conditions, general interest rates and competition. Therefore, Patriot manages
its balance sheet to provide adequate liquidity based upon various economic,
interest rate and competitive assumptions and in light of profitability
measures.
During 2000, significant liquidity was provided by financing activities,
particularly growth in deposits. Maturities of investment and mortgage-backed
securities as well as the sale of residential mortgage loans also provided
significant liquidity during 2000. The funds provided by these activities were
invested in commercial loans and leases.
At December 31, 2000, Patriot had outstanding loan commitments of
$68,966,000. Patriot anticipates that it will have sufficient funds available to
meet its loan commitments. Certificates of deposit which are scheduled to mature
in one year or less from December 31, 2000 totaled $323,201,000. Based upon
historical experience, Patriot expects that substantially all of the maturing
certificates of deposit will be retained at maturity.
CAPITAL RESOURCES. FDIC regulations currently require companies to
maintain a minimum leverage capital ratio of not less than 3% of tier 1 capital
to total adjusted assets, a tier 1 capital ratio of not less than 4% of
risk-adjusted assets, and a minimum risk-based total capital ratio (based upon
credit risk) of not less than 8%. The FDIC requires a minimum leverage capital
requirement of 3% for institutions rated composite 1 under the CAMEL rating
system. For all other institutions, the minimum leverage capital requirement is
3% plus at least an additional 1% to 2% (100 to 200 basis points). At December
31, 2000, Patriot Bank's and Patriot Bank Corp.'s capital ratios exceeded all
requirements to be considered well capitalized. The following

MANAGEMENT OF INTEREST RATE RISK. The principal objective of Patriot's
interest rate risk management function is to evaluate the interest rate risk
included in certain on and off balance sheet accounts, determine the level of
risk appropriate given Patriot's business focus, operating environment, capital
and liquidity requirements and performance objectives, and manage the risk
consistent with Board approved guidelines. Through such management, Patriot
seeks to reduce the vulnerability of its net interest income to changes in
interest rates. Patriot monitors its interest rate risk as such risk relates to
its operating strategies. Patriot's Board of Directors has established an
Asset/Liability Committee comprised of senior management, which is responsible
for reviewing its asset/liability and interest rate position and making
decisions involving asset/ liability considerations. The Asset/Liability
Committee meets regularly and reports trends and Patriot's interest rate risk
position to the Board of Directors.
The matching of assets and liabilities may be analyzed by examining the
extent to which such assets and liabilities are "interest rate sensitive" and by
monitoring an institution's interest rate sensitivity "gap." An asset or
liability is said to be interest rate sensitive within a specific time period if
it will mature or reprice within that time period. The interest rate sensitivity
gap is defined as the difference between the amount of interest-earning assets
maturing or repricing within a specific time period and the amount of
interest-bearing liabilities maturing or repricing within that time period. A
gap is considered positive when the amount of interest rate sensitive assets
exceeds the amount of interest rate sensitive liabilities. A gap is considered
negative when the amount of interest rate sensitive liabilities exceeds the
amount of interest rate sensitive assets. During a period of rising interest
rates, therefore, a negative gap theoretically would tend to adversely affect
net interest income, while a positive gap would tend to result in an increase in
net interest income. Conversely, during a period of falling interest rates, a
negative gap position would theoretically tend to result in an increase in net
interest income while a positive gap would tend to affect net interest income
adversely.
Patriot pursues several actions designed to control its level of interest
rate risk. These actions include increasing the percentage of the loan portfolio
consisting of short-term and adjustable-rate loans through increased
originations of these loans, acquiring short-term and adjustable-rate
mortgage-backed securities, and undertaking to lengthen the maturities of
deposits and borrowings. At December 31, 2000, Patriot's total interest-bearing
liabilities maturing or repricing within one year exceeded its total net
interest-earning assets maturing or repricing in the same time period by
$82,268,000 representing a one-year cumulative "gap," as defined above, as a
percentage of total assets of negative 7.31%.
The following table sets forth the amounts of interest-earning assets and
interest-bearing liabilities outstanding at December 31, 2000, which are
anticipated, based upon certain assumptions, to reprice or mature in each of the
future time periods shown. Except as stated below, the amount of assets and
liabilities
29
32
shown which reprice or mature during a particular period were determined in
accordance with the earlier of term to repricing or the contractual maturity of
the asset or liability. The table sets forth an approximation of the projected
repricing of assets and liabilities at December 31, 2000, on the basis of
contractual maturities, anticipated prepayments, and scheduled rate adjustments
within a three-month period and subsequent selected time intervals. The loan
amounts in the table reflect principal balances expected to be repaid and/or
repriced as a result of contractual amortization and anticipated prepayments of
adjustable-rate loans and fixed-rate loans, and as a result of contractual rate
adjustments on adjustable-rate loans.

(1) Interest-earning assets are included in the period in which the balances are
expected to be repaid and/or repriced as a result of anticipated
prepayments, scheduled rate adjustments, and contractual maturities.
(2) Includes assets available for sale and held to maturity.
(3) For purposes of the gap analysis, loans receivable includes non-performing
loans and is reduced for the allowance for loan losses, and unamortized
discounts and deferred loan fees.
(4) Interest sensitivity gap represents the difference between total
interest-earning assets and total interest-bearing liabilities.
(5) Annual prepayment rates for loans and mortgage-backed securities range from
10% to 19%.
(6) Money market savings accounts, passbook accounts and NOW accounts are
assumed to have decay rates between 2% and 14% annually.
As shown above, the bank has a negative gap (interest sensitive assets are
less than interest sensitive liabilities) within the next year, which generally
indicates that an increase in rates may lead to a decrease in net interest
income and a decrease in rates may lead to an increase in net interest income.
Although the bank
30
33
is substantially liability sensitive within the next year management believes
that customer behavior patterns and product pricing allow the bank to reduce
interest rate risk to acceptable levels.
In addition to gap analysis, Patriot utilizes income simulation modeling in
measuring its interest rate risk and managing its interest rate sensitivity.
Income simulation considers not only the impact of changing market interest
rates on forecasted net interest income, but also other factors such as yield
curve relationships, the volume and mix of assets and liabilities, customer
preferences and general market conditions.
Through the use of income simulation modeling Patriot has calculated an
estimate of net interest income for the year ending December 31, 2001, based
upon the assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet financial instruments in
existence at December 31, 2000. Patriot has also estimated changes to that
estimated net interest income based upon interest rates rising or falling in
monthly increments ("rate ramps"). Rate ramps assume that all interest rates
increase or decrease in monthly increments evenly throughout the period modeled.
The following table reflects the estimated percentage change in estimated net
interest income for the year ending December 31, 2001.
RATE RAMP TO
INTEREST RATES % CHANGE
- -------------- --------
+2% (3.7)%
-2% (2.8)%
Patriot's management believes that the assumptions utilized in evaluating
Patriot's estimated net interest income are reasonable; however, the interest
rate sensitivity of Patriot's assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet
financial instruments as well as the estimated effect of changes in interest
rates on estimated net interest income could vary substantially if different
assumptions are used or actual experience differs from the experience on which
the assumptions were based.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999 AND 1998
SUMMARY. For the year ended December 31, 1999, Patriot reported net income
of $2,200,000 or $.37 diluted earnings per share including costs related to the
launch of an internet initiative of $3,349,000 ($5,067,000 before tax).
Patriot's core banking operations exclusive of that internet initiative for the
year ended December 31, 1999 generated $5,549,000 or $.94 diluted earnings per
share compared to net income of $4,055,000 or $.78 diluted earnings per share
for the year ended December 31, 1998. This represents an increase in net income
of 37% and an increase in diluted earnings per share of 21% from core
operations. Excluding the non-recurring charge related to that internet
initiative, return on average equity was 10.10% for 1999 compared to 8.72% for
1998.
NET INTEREST INCOME. Net interest income for 1999 was $24,034,000 compared
to $16,871,000 in 1998. This represents an increase of 43% and is primarily due
to an increase in average balances and interest spreads related to the
acquisitions of First Lehigh and KFL. Much of Patriot's asset growth resulted
from the origination of commercial loans and leases. Additionally, Patriot
maintained a slightly larger investment and mortgage-backed securities portfolio
throughout 1999 than in prior years. Patriot's asset growth was funded through
deposit growth and borrowings.
As a result of the acquisitions of First Lehigh and KFL which added higher
yielding loans and leases coupled with a lower costing deposit base, Patriot's
net interest margin (net interest income on a fully tax equivalent basis as a
percentage of average interest-earning assets) increased as anticipated to 2.44%
in 1999 from 2.01% in 1998.
Interest on loans was $45,590,000 for 1999 compared to $35,242,000 for
1998. The average balance of loans was $571,966,000 with an average yield of
7.97% compared to an average balance of $455,167,000 with an average yield of
7.74% in 1998. The increase in average balance was due to increased originations
of commercial loans and leases as well as the acquisitions of First Lehigh and
KFL. Also, the average balance of mortgage loans was maintained at a consistent
level during 1999 as most mortgage loan originations were sold. The increase in
average yield is primarily a result of commercial loans and leases representing
a larger percentage of the loan portfolio.
Interest on Patriot's investment portfolio (investment and mortgage-backed
securities) was $29,656,000 for 1999 compared to $27,521,000 for 1998. The
average balance of the investment portfolio was $457,093,000 with an average
yield of 6.78% for 1999 compared to an average balance of $417,037,000 with an
average yield of 6.84% for 1998. The increase in average balance was primarily
due to investment and mortgage-backed securities acquired in the First Lehigh
acquisition. The slight decrease in average yield is primarily a result of
prepayments on higher yielding securities at the end of 1998 offset with
increased yields on adjustable rate securities in 1999.
Interest on total deposits was $20,544,000 for 1999 compared to $17,382,000
for 1998. The average balance of total deposits was $468,814,000 with an average
cost of 4.38% for 1999 compared to an average balance of $350,262,000 with an
average cost of 4.96% for 1998. The increase in average balance was primarily
the result of the acquisition of First Lehigh, which added $89,000,000 in
deposits, $50,000,000 of which were core deposits, coupled with aggressive
marketing of core deposits (money market, checking and savings accounts) and an
increase in Patriot's jumbo deposit program. The decrease in average cost was
the result of the increase in core deposits from the First Lehigh acquisition
offset by an increase in jumbo deposits. Patriot uses jumbo deposits attracted
through individuals and brokerages as an alternative to borrowings. Total
brokered deposits approximated $136,113,000 and $96,163,000 at December 31, 1999
and 1998, respectively. The average balance of retail deposits (total deposits
less jumbo deposits) was $359,317,000 with an average cost of 3.96% for 1999
compared to an average balance of $247,239,000 with an average cost of 4.47% for
1998. The increase in average balance and the decrease in cost of Patriot's
retail deposits was the result of the First Lehigh acquisition and an increased
emphasis placed on attracting core deposits and less emphasis on originating
retail certificates of deposit.
Interest on borrowings was $30,966,000 in 1999 compared to $28,854,000 in
1998. The average balance of borrowings was $568,922,000 with an average cost of
5.43% for 1999 compared to an average balance of
32
35
$501,605,000 with an average cost of 5.76% for 1998. The increase in average
balance was due to the use of borrowings to fund the growth in the balance
sheet. The decrease in average cost was due to generally lower interest rates.
PROVISION FOR CREDIT LOSSES. The provision for credit losses was
$1,200,000 for 1999 and 1998. Based on continuing strong asset quality trends
Patriot's management maintained the provision for 1999 and 1998.
NON-INTEREST INCOME. Total non-interest income was $5,945,000 for 1999
compared to $3,873,000 for 1998. The increase was primarily due to an increased
emphasis on recurring non-interest income including loan and deposit fees, ATM
fees and mortgage banking activities. Non-interest income in 1999 included
securities gains of $507,000 compared to $1,850,000 in 1998.
NON-INTEREST EXPENSE. Total non-interest expense was $26,402,000 for 1999
compared to $14,267,000 for 1998. Non-interest expense in 1999 included
$5,067,000 in costs incurred related to the launch of an internet initiative.
Non-interest expense in 1998 included an infrequent charge of $961,000 related
to the retirement of Patriot's former chairman. The increase in recurring
non-interest expense reflects the acquisitions of First Lehigh and KFL plus
growth in Patriot's operations. Patriot's efficiency ratio was 88.07% in 1999
compared to 68.77% in 1998 inclusive of the non-recurring charges in each year,
exclusive of these charges the efficiency ratio was 71.17% in 1999 compared to
64.14% in 1998 which increased do to the costs incurred with the integration of
the acquisitions of KFL and First Lehigh.
INCOME TAX PROVISION. The income tax provision was $177,000 for 1999
compared to $1,222,000 for 1998. The effective tax rate was 7.44% for 1999
compared to 23.16% for 1998. The decrease in the effective tax rate is the
result of the tax impact of the costs incurred amounting to $5,067,000 related
to the launch of an internet initiative, resulting in an increase in Patriot's
proportion of tax exempt income to net income. Patriot tax exempt income is a
result of Patriot's tax planning strategies, which include investments in
tax-exempt securities. Excluding the costs and related tax benefits related to
the launch of an internet initiative, Patriot's effective tax rate was 25.53%
for 1999.

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA
MANAGEMENT'S STATEMENT ON FINANCIAL REPORTING
To Our Stockholders:
The management of Patriot Bank Corp. (the Corporation) is responsible for
the preparation, integrity, and fair presentation of its published financial
statements. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America and, as such, include amounts that are based on judgments and estimates
of management.
There are inherent limitations in the effectiveness of any system of
internal control, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention
or overriding of controls. Accordingly, even effective internal controls can
only provide reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement
preparation. Further, because of changes in conditions, the degree of
effectiveness of an internal control structure may vary over time.
Management assessed the Corporation's internal controls over financial
reporting presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America. This assessment was based on criteria for
effective internal control over financial reporting described in "Internal
Control-Integrated Framework" issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this assessment, management
believes the Corporation maintained effective internal controls over financial
data, presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America for the year ended December 31, 2000.
Management is also responsible for compliance with the federal laws and
regulations concerning dividend restrictions and loans to insiders designated by
the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation as safety and soundness laws and
regulations.
The Corporation assessed its compliance with the designated laws and
regulations relating to safety and soundness. Based on this assessment,
management believes that Patriot Bank Corp. complied, in all material respects,
with the designated laws and regulations related to safety and soundness for the
year ended December 31, 2000.

DECEMBER 31, 2000
NOTE 1 -- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a description of the significant accounting policies of
Patriot Bank Corp. and Subsidiaries (Patriot). Such accounting and reporting
policies conform with generally accepted accounting principles and predominant
practices within the financial institution industry.
Patriot, through its subsidiaries, offers a broad range of lending,
depository and related financial services to small businesses and consumers
primarily through 18 community banking offices located in Berks, Chester,
Montgomery, Northampton and Lehigh counties in Pennsylvania and through direct
mail and various electronic and telephonic means.
Patriot Bank principally competes with other banking and financial
institutions in its primary market communities. Commercial banks, savings banks,
savings and loan associations, credit unions, brokerage firms, asset management
funds, mutual funds and money market funds actively compete for deposits and
loans. Such institutions, as well as consumer finance and insurance companies,
may be considered competitors of Patriot with respect to one or more of the
services they render.
A. BASIS OF FINANCIAL PRESENTATION
The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of the parent
company, Patriot Bank Corp. and its subsidiaries: Patriot Bank and its
subsidiaries, Marathon Management Company, Patriot Investment & Insurance
Company, Patriot Commercial Leasing Company, Inc., and Patriot Investment
Company. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation. In preparing the consolidated financial statements,
management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from
those estimates. The principal estimates that are particularly susceptible to
significant change in the near term relate to the allowance for credit losses,
mortgage servicing rights, evaluation of deferred tax assets, and other real
estate owned.
The evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses includes,
among other factors, an analysis of historical loss rates, by category, applied
to current loan and lease totals. However, actual losses may be higher or lower
than historical trends, which vary. Actual losses on specified problem loans and
leases, which also are provided for in the valuation, may vary from estimated
loss percentages, which are established based upon a limited number of potential
loss classifications.
In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133 "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities." This statement as amended by SFAS No. 137
in June 1999 and SFAS No. 138 in June 2000 establishes accounting and reporting
standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments
embedded in other contracts, (collectively referred to as derivatives) and for
hedging activities. It requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as
either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure
those instruments at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of
a derivative depends on the intended use of the derivative and the resulting
designation. If certain conditions are met, a derivative may be specifically
designated as (a) a hedge of certain exposure to changes in the fair value of a
recognized asset or liability or an unrecognized firm commitment; (b) a hedge of
the exposure to variable cash flows of a forecasted transaction; or (c) a hedge
of foreign currency exposure. SFAS No. 133, as amended, is effective for all
fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. Earlier adoption
is permitted. Patriot has adopted SFAS 133 on January 1, 2001, as a result of
adoption of SFAS 133 Patriot intends to reclassified approximately $196,000,000
of fixed rate mortgage backed securities, CMO's and agency securities from held
to maturity to available for sale and equity increased by approximately $3
million in accumulated other comprehensive income net of tax.. Patriot typically
has not used derivative instruments
41
44
PATRIOT BANK CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
and currently holds no positions that had further significant impact upon the
adoption of SFAS 133 on earnings, financial condition or equity.
In September 2000, the FASB issued SFAS No. 140 "Accounting for Transfers
and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities." This
statement supercedes and replaces the guidance in Statement 125. It revises the
standards for accounting for securitizations and other transfers of financial
assets and collateral and requires certain disclosures, although it carries over
most of Statement 125's provisions without reconsideration. The Statement is
effective for transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of
liabilities occurring after March 31, 2001 and for recognition and
reclassification of collateral and for disclosures relating to securitization
transactions and collateral for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2000.
This Statement is to be applied prospectively with certain exceptions. Other
than those exceptions, earlier or retroactive application of its accounting
provisions is not permitted. Patriot has not yet determined the impact, if any,
of this statement on Patriot's earnings, financial condition, or equity.
B. CASH AND CASH DUE FROM BANKS
Cash and cash equivalents are defined as cash on hand, cash items in
process of collection and amounts due from banks. Interest-earning deposits
consist of deposit accounts with the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) of Pittsburgh
and deposits with other financial institutions generally having maturities of
three months or less.
C. SECURITIES
Securities for which Patriot has the intent and ability to hold to maturity
are classified as held to maturity and reported at amortized cost. Securities
expected to be held for an indefinite period of time are classified as available
for sale and are carried at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses
reported as a separate component of stockholders' equity, net of estimated
income taxes. Securities that are bought and held principally for the purpose of
selling are classified as trading and reported at fair value, with unrealized
gains and losses included in earnings. Patriot has no securities held for
trading. Gains or losses on the sales of securities are recognized at trade date
utilizing the specific identification method. As mentioned in Note 4, during
1999, Patriot transferred certain securities available for sale to securities
held to maturity.
D. LOANS HELD FOR SALE
Loans held for resale consist of residential mortgage loans originated by
Patriot. They are recorded at the lower of cost or estimated fair value on an
aggregate basis.
E. LOANS AND LEASES AND ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES
Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the
foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are stated at unpaid principal
balances and net of deferred loan origination fees and discounts. Interest is
accrued and credited to operations based upon the principal amount of loans
outstanding. Loan origination fees and certain direct loan origination costs are
deferred, and the net fee or cost is recognized as an adjustment to interest
income using the interest method over the contractual life of the loans,
adjusted for estimated prepayments based on Patriot's historical prepayment
experience.
Direct finance leases have terms ranging from three to five years. Under
direct finance lease accounting, the balance sheet includes the gross minimum
lease payments receivable, unguaranteed estimated residual values of the leased
equipment, and capitalized indirect costs, reduced by unearned lease income.
The lease residual values represent the expected proceeds from the sale of
leased equipment at the end of the initial term of the lease and are determined
on the basis of analyses prepared by Patriot based upon
42
45
PATRIOT BANK CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
professional appraisals, historical experience and industry data. Management
reviews the estimated residual values on a periodic basis, and impairments in
value, if any, are recognized as an immediate charge to income.
An allowance for credit losses is maintained at a level that management
considers adequate to provide for losses based upon an evaluation of known and
inherent risks in the loan and lease portfolio. Management's periodic evaluation
of the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses is based upon evaluation of
individual loans and leases, the overall risk characteristics of the various
portfolio segments, past loss experience, current and projected financial status
and creditworthiness of its borrowers, the adequacy of collateral, the level and
nature of non-performing loans, current economic conditions, the results of the
most recent regulatory examination and other relevant factors. This evaluation
is inherently subjective. While management uses the best information available
to make such evaluations, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary
if conditions differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the
evaluations. In addition, various regulatory agencies as an integral part of
their examination process, periodically review the allowance for credit losses.
Such agencies may require Patriot to recognize additions to the allowance for
credit losses based on their judgments of information which is available to them
at the time of their examinations.
Impaired loans are measured based on the present value of expected future
cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, the loan's
observable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is
collateral dependent. Impairment is based on the fair value of the collateral
when the creditor determines that foreclosure is probable.
Large groups of smaller-balance homogeneous loans are collectively
evaluated for impairment. Those loans include residential mortgage, home equity
and consumer loans.
Uncollectible interest on loans and leases that are contractually past due
ninety days or greater is charged off. Loans are returned to an accrual status
when payments become current and other factors indicating doubtful
collectibility cease to exist.
F. PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT
Land is carried at cost. Buildings, leasehold improvements and furniture,
fixtures and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation.
Depreciation is provided for by the straight-line method over the estimated
useful lives of the assets.
G. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
Patriot has certain employee benefit plans covering substantially all
employees. Patriot accrues costs as incurred.
H. INCOME TAXES
Deferred income taxes are determined based on the differences between the
financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities as measured by the
enacted tax rates which will be in effect when the differences reverse. Deferred
tax expense is the result of changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities.
I. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing
income available to common shares by the weighted average common shares
outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share takes into account the
potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue
common stock were exercised and converted into common stock. Prior periods'
earnings per share calculations have been restated to reflect stock splits and
stock dividends.

PATRIOT BANK CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
J. GOODWILL
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the estimated
fair value of identifiable net assets acquired through purchase acquisitions and
is included in other assets. The amortization of goodwill is on a straight-line
basis over 12-15 years, which is the estimated period to be benefited.
K. RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with the
current year's presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on net
income.
NOTE 2 -- BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
On January 22, 1999, Patriot completed the acquisition of First Lehigh
Corporation ("First Lehigh"), a commercial banking company with $104,478,000 in
total assets and $93,905,000 in total deposits. Patriot issued 1,640,000 shares
of common stock for all the outstanding common and preferred stock of First
Lehigh. The transaction had a total value of $21,047,000. The acquisition was
accounted for as a purchase, and accordingly, the results of operations of First
Lehigh are included in Patriot's consolidated statement of income from the date
of acquisition. Goodwill and core deposit intangibles arising from the
transaction totaled $12,439,000 which are being amortized over 12-15 years.
On November 6, 1998, Patriot completed its acquisition of Keystone
Financial Leasing Company (KFL). KFL is a small-ticket commercial leasing
company which had total assets of $43,327,000 including lease receivables of
$42,764,000 at the date of acquisition. KFL was purchased for $6,258,000 in cash
plus contingent consideration based upon future revenues of KFL. The acquisition
was accounted for as a purchase. Goodwill arising from the transaction totaled
$2,267,000.
NOTE 3 -- RESTRICTIONS ON CASH AND AMOUNTS DUE FROM DEPOSITORY INSTITUTIONS
Patriot is required to maintain certain average reserve balances as
established by the Federal Reserve Board. The amounts of those reserve balances
for the reserve computation periods which included December 31, 2000 and 1999,
were $2,334,000 and $1,556,000, respectively.

NOTE 10 -- TRUST PREFERRED SECURITIES
On May 29, 1997, Patriot issued $19,000,000 of 10.30% junior subordinated
debentures to Patriot Capital Trust I, a Delaware Business Trust, in which
Patriot owns all of the common equity. The trust issued $19,000,000 of preferred
securities to investors, secured by the junior subordinated debentures and the
guarantee of Patriot. Although the junior subordinated debentures will be
treated as debt of Patriot, they currently qualify for Tier I capital treatment,
subject to certain limitations, under risk-based capital guidelines of the
Federal Reserve. The Trust Preferred Securities are callable by the Company on
or after July 1, 2007, or earlier in the event the deduction of related interest
for federal income taxes is prohibited, treatment as Tier I capital is no longer
permitted or certain other contingencies arise. The Trust Preferred Securities
must be redeemed upon maturity of the debentures in 2027.

For federal income tax purposes, Patriot has approximately $3,034,000 of
net operating loss carryforwards resulting in a $1,031,002 deferred tax asset as
of December 31, 2000. The net operating loss will begin to expire after the year
ended December 31, 2010 if not utilized.
The Small Business Job Protection Act of 1996, enacted on August 20, 1996,
provides for the repeal of the tax bad debt deduction computed under the
percentage of taxable income method. Upon repeal, the Bank is required to
recapture into income, over a six-year period, the portion of its tax bad debt
reserves that exceed its base year reserves (i.e., tax reserves for tax years
beginning before 1988). The base year tax reserves, which may be subject to
recapture if the Bank ceases to qualify as a bank for federal income tax
purposes are restricted with respect to certain distributions. The Bank's total
tax bad-debt reserves at December 31, 2000, are approximately $4,074,000, of
which $4,046,000 represents the base year amount and $28,000 is subject to
recapture.

NOTE 14 -- EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
a. 401(k) PLAN
Patriot maintains a 401(k) plan covering all of its employees who have
attained age 21 and have completed at least one year of service. Patriot will
contribute 100% of an employee's contribution up to 6% of base salary. Patriot's
contributions were $363,000, $277,000, and $218,000 for the years ended December
31, 2000, 1999, and 1998 respectively.
54
57
PATRIOT BANK CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
b. EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN
In 1995, Patriot established an internally leveraged Employee Stock
Ownership Plan (ESOP) for eligible employees who have completed one year of
service with Patriot or its subsidiaries. In December 1995, the ESOP borrowed
$3,015,000 from Patriot to purchase 543,000 (as adjusted for subsequent stock
dividends and stock split) newly issued shares of common stock. Patriot makes
contributions to the ESOP equal to the ESOP's debt service less any dividends
received by the ESOP. Any dividends received by the ESOP are used to pay debt
service. The ESOP shares are pledged as collateral for its debt. As the debt is
repaid, shares are released from collateral and allocated to qualifying
employees based on the proportion of debt service paid in the year. Patriot
accounts for its ESOP in accordance with Statement of Position 93-6, "Employers'
Accounting for Employee Stock Ownership Plans." Accordingly, the debt of the
ESOP is recorded as debt and the shares pledged as collateral are reported as
unearned ESOP shares in the consolidated Balance Sheets. As shares are released
from collateral, Patriot reports compensation expense equal to the current
market price of the shares, and the allocated shares are included in outstanding
shares for earnings per share computations. Dividends on allocated ESOP shares
are recorded as a reduction of retained earnings; dividends on unallocated ESOP
shares are recorded as a reduction of debt and accrued interest. ESOP
compensation expense was $216,000, $262,000, and 363,000 in 2000, 1999, and
1998, respectively. The ESOP shares as of December 31, 2000 were as follows:
Allocated shares................................. 183,000
Unreleased shares................................ 360,000
----------
Total ESOP shares................................ 543,000
==========
Fair value of unreleased shares.................. $2,430,000
==========
c. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
Patriot maintains a Management Recognition Plan (MRP). The MRP provides
that up to 271,000 shares of common stock may be granted, at the discretion of
the Board, to key directors and officers at no cost to the individuals. Patriot
granted 241,000, 10,000, 3,000 and 2,000 shares 1996, 1998, 1999 and 2000,
respectively in the form of restricted stock payable over five years from the
date of grant. The recipients of the restricted stock are entitled to all voting
and other stockholder rights, except that the shares, while restricted, may not
be sold, pledged or otherwise disposed of and are required to be held in escrow.
In the event the recipient terminates association with Patriot for reasons other
than death, disability or change in control, the recipient forfeits all rights
to the allocated shares under restriction which are canceled and revert to
Patriot for reissuance under the plan. Shares acquired by the MRP were newly
issued shares and were recorded at the date of award based on the market value
of shares. Shares acquired by the MRP, which are shown as a separate component
of stockholders' equity, are being amortized to expense over the five-year
vesting period. As shares are vested during this five-year period, Patriot
records compensation expense equal to the shares being amortized. For the years
ended December 31, 2000, 1999, and 1998, $377,000, $359,000, and $359,000 were
amortized to expense. At December 31, 2000, 18,000 shares were reserved for
future grants under the plan.
Patriot maintains a stock option plan. Patriot's employee stock option plan
is accounted for under the intrinsic value method of APB Opinion No. 25.
Accordingly, Patriot is required to make pro forma disclosures of net income and
earnings per share, as if the fair value-based method of accounting defined in
SFAS No. 123 "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," had been applied. The
plan permits the grant of options to employees and directors for up to 700,000
shares of common stock. The options have a term of 10 years and vest over a
five-year period. The exercise price of each option equals the market price of
Patriot's stock on the date of grant. Accordingly, no compensation cost has been
recognized for the plan. Had compensation cost for the plan been determined
based on the fair value of the options at the grant dates
55

d. EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN
In 1998, Patriot implemented an Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP") which
permits eligible employees to purchase Patriot common stock directly from
Patriot through payroll deduction. Purchases of common stock are made at 90% of
the market value of Patriot common stock on the last day of each quarter.
56
59
PATRIOT BANK CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
Purchases are limited annually to $25,000 fair market value and shares are
issued from treasury stock. In 2000, 1999 and 1998, Patriot recorded expense of
$11,518, $9,318 and $2,228, respectively related to the ESPP.
NOTE 15 -- FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE-SHEET RISK AND CONCENTRATIONS
OF CREDIT RISK
Patriot is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in
the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers,
including commitments to extend credit. Those instruments involve, to varying
degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount
recognized in the consolidated Balance Sheets. The contract or notional amounts
of those instruments reflect the extent of Patriot's involvement in particular
classes of financial instruments.
Patriot's exposure to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the
other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit is
represented by the contractual notional amount of those instruments. Patriot
uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations
as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments. Unless noted otherwise, Patriot
requires collateral to support financial instruments with credit risk.
The contractual or notional amounts of outstanding loan commitments as of
December 31, 2000 are as follows:
TOTAL
FIXED RATE VARIABLE RATE COMMITMENTS
COMMITMENTS COMMITMENTS OUTSTANDING

------- ------- -------
Total............................... $21,290 $47,676 $68,966
======= ======= =======
Fees received in connection with these commitments are recognized as income
over the life of the commitment or the life of the loan.
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long
as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract.
Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses
and may require payment of a fee. Patriot evaluates each customer's
creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if
deemed necessary by Patriot upon extension of credit, is based on management's
credit evaluation of the borrower. Collateral for commitments generally includes
residential or other real estate.

NOTE 16 -- COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
A. LEASE COMMITMENTS
Patriot is committed to various operating leases related to branch
facilities having initial or remaining terms in excess of one year. The minimum
annual rental commitments under these leases outstanding at December 31, 2000
are as follows:

1999, and 1998 totaled $1,900,895, $680,613, and $260,038, respectively.
B. OTHER
Patriot is a defendant in various legal actions arising from normal
business activities. Management believes that those actions are without merit or
that the ultimate liability, if any, resulting from such actions will not have a
material adverse effect on Patriot's consolidated financial position, results of
operations, or stockholders' equity.
NOTE 17 -- DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Patriot is required to disclose the estimated fair value of Patriot's
assets and liabilities considered to be financial instruments. As with most
financial institutions, the majority of Patriot's assets and liabilities are
considered financial instruments as defined in SFAS No. 107. However, many of
such instruments lack an available trading market, as characterized by a willing
buyer and seller engaging in an exchange transaction. Also, it is Patriot's
general practice and intent to hold the preponderance of its financial
instruments to maturity and not to engage in trading or sales activities.
Therefore, Patriot has used significant estimates and present value calculations
to prepare this disclosure. Changes in the assumptions or methodologies used to
estimate fair value may affect the estimated amounts.
Estimates of fair value are made at a specific point in time based upon,
where available, relevant market prices and information about the financial
instrument. Such estimates do not include any premium or discount that could
result from offering for sale at one time the Company's entire holdings of a
particular financial instrument. For a substantial portion of the Company's
financial instruments, no quoted market exists. Therefore, estimates of fair
value are necessarily based on a number of significant assumptions (many of
which involve events outside the control of management). Such assumptions
include assessments of current economic conditions, perceived risks associated
with these financial instruments and their counterparties, future expected loss
experience, and other factors. Given the uncertainties surrounding these
assumptions, the reported fair values represent estimates only, and therefore
cannot be compared to the historical accounting model. Use of different
assumptions or methodologies are likely to result in significantly different
fair value estimates.
The estimated fair values presented neither include nor give effect to the
values associated with the Company's banking, or other business, existing
customer relationships, extensive branch banking network, property, equipment,
goodwill, or certain tax implications related to the realization of unrealized
gains or

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
losses. Also, the fair value of non-interest bearing demand deposits, savings,
and NOW accounts and money market deposit accounts is equal to the carrying
amount because these deposits have no stated maturity. Obviously, this approach
to estimating fair value excludes the significant benefit that results from the
low-cost funding provided by such deposit liabilities, as compared to
alternative sources of funding. As a consequence, the fair value of individual
assets and liabilities may not be reflective of the fair value of a banking
organization that is a going concern.
Fair values have been estimated using data which management considered the
best available. Fair value of financial instruments actively traded in a
secondary market has been estimated using quoted market prices. The fair value
of loans receivable has been estimated using present value cash flow, discounted
at an interest rate that gives effect to estimated prepayment risk and credit
loss factors. Fair value of financial instrument liabilities with no stated
maturities has been estimated to equal the carrying amount. Fair value of
financial instrument liabilities with stated maturities has been estimated using
present value cash flow, discounted at a rate approximating current market rates
for similar assets and liabilities. The resulting estimated fair values and
carrying amounts at December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively were as follows:

NOTE 18 -- REGULATORY MATTERS
Patriot is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered
by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements
can initiate certain mandatory, and possible additional discretionary, actions
by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on
Patriot's consolidated financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines
and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, Patriot must meet
specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of Patriots
assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under
regulatory accounting practices. Patriot's capital amounts are also subject to
qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and
other factors.
59

PATRIOT BANK CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy
require Patriot Bank Corp. and Patriot Bank to maintain minimum amounts and
ratios (set forth in the table below) of total and core capital (as defined in
the regulations) to risk-weighted assets, and of core capital to average assets.
Management believes, as of December 31, 2000, that Patriot meets all capital
adequacy requirements to which it is subject.
As of December 31, 2000, the most recent notification from the Department
of Banking of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania categorized Patriot Bank as well
capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be
categorized as well capitalized, Patriot Bank must maintain minimum total
risk-based, core risk-based and core leverage ratios as set forth in the table.
There are no conditions or events since that notification that management
believes have changed the institution's category.

In conformity with Patriot's charter, a "liquidation account" was
established for Patriot Bank at the time of its conversion to the stock form of
ownership. In the unlikely event of a complete liquidation of Patriot Bank,
holders of savings accounts with qualifying deposits, who continue to maintain
their savings accounts, would be entitled to a distribution from the
"liquidation account" in an amount equal to the then current adjusted savings
account balance before any liquidation distribution could be made with respect
to capital stock. The balance in the "liquidation account" was $7,125,000 at
December 31, 2000. This amount may not be utilized for the payment of cash
dividends to the holding company.
Limitation on Capital Distributions. Dividend payments by the Bank to the
Company are subject to the Pennsylvania Banking Code of 1965 and the FDI Act.
Under the Pennsylvania Banking Code, no dividends may be paid except from
"accumulated net earnings" (generally, undivided profits). Under the FDI Act, no
dividends may be paid by an insured bank if the bank is in arrears in the
payment of any insurance assessment due to the FDIC. Under current banking laws,
the Bank would be limited to approximately $23.6 million of dividends in 2001
plus an additional amount equal to the Bank's net profit for 2001, up to the
date of any such dividend declaration.
