NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
(in thousands, except per share data)

NOTE A -- BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited financial statements of Hudson United Bancorp and
Subsidiaries ("Hudson United" or "the Company") include the accounts of the
parent company, Hudson United Bancorp, and its wholly-owned subsidiaries: Hudson
United Bank ("the Bank"), HUBCO Capital Trust I, HUBCO Capital Trust II, and JBI
Capital Trust I. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation. These unaudited consolidated financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and
Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles
for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the information
presented includes all adjustments and normal recurring accruals considered
necessary for a fair presentation, in all material respects, of the interim
period results. The results of operations for periods of less than one year are
not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. The consolidated
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001.


Reclassification of Certain Assets, Revenues and Expenses

Assets previously classified by the Company as Commercial and Industrial Loans
have been reclassified as of June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001 as Investment
Securities Available for Sale. These assets were $116.1 million at June 30, 2002
and $106.1 million at December 31, 2001.

Certain assets previously classified by the Company as part of "other assets";
certain revenues previously classified as part of "other income"; and certain
expenses previously classified as part of "other expense" have been listed as
separate line items in the Consolidated Balance Sheet and in the Consolidated
Statements of Income.

In addition, certain one-time expenses totaling $21.5 million, classified by the
Company in the first quarter of 2002 as "Effect of merger resolution", have been
reclassified by the Company in the first half of 2002 to "Expenses related to
Dime termination payment" of $8.3 million and the remaining $13.2 million was
reclassified into other expense categories. The $13.2 million was reclassified
as follows: $0.2 million to salaries and benefits, $1.3 million to occupancy
expenses, $1.1 million to equipment expense, $0.2 million to outside
services-other and $10.4 million to other expenses.

NOTE B -- EARNINGS PER SHARE

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

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

NOTE C - ACQUISITIONS

The Company announced, on June 26, 2002, a purchase and assumption transaction
with the FDIC as the receiver for the failed Connecticut Bank of Commerce ("the
CBC transaction"). Hudson United Bank ("the Bank"), in this transaction, assumed
certain insured deposits, along with an option to purchase two branches in
Connecticut and to lease two branches in New York City and one in Connecticut.
The Bank paid an acquisition premium of $17.3 million to the FDIC in this
transaction. The determination of the breakdown of the premium between goodwill
and core deposit intangibles has not yet been made. The Bank received cash from
the FDIC at closing, along with certain consumer loans, which the Bank can put
back to the FDIC within 30 days.

The initial deposits assumed and initial assets acquired in the CBC transaction
are included in the Company's balance sheet as of June 30, 2002.

NOTE H - RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting
for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," establishing standards for
the accounting and reporting of derivatives. The Company adopted SFAS No. 133
effective January 1, 2001. The adoption of this statement did not have a
material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

The FASB issued SFAS No. 141 "Business Combinations" during 2001. The Company
adopted SFAS No. 141 effective July 2001. The adoption of SFAS No. 141 did not
have a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of
operations.

The FASB issued SFAS No. 142 "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" during 2001.
Under this standard, intangible assets must continue to be amortized, but
goodwill is no longer amortized starting January 1, 2002. Goodwill that is
determined to be impaired must be written-off when that determination is made.
The Company has concluded as of June 30, 2002 that no impairment charge is
currently required. The Company is required to perform an impairment test of its
goodwill on at least an annual basis. Core deposit intangibles, with a carrying
value of $24.4 million at June 30, 2002 and original amortization periods of ten
years, are being amortized and the related amortization expense for the second
quarter of 2002 was $1.0 million and for the first half of 2002 was $1.9
million. Goodwill, with a carrying value of $59.8 million at June 30, 2002 is no
longer being amortized beginning January 1, 2002. Total goodwill and intangible
assets, including the premium paid in the CBC transaction, was $101.6 million at
June 30, 2002. Amortization of goodwill was $2.7 million in the second quarter
of 2001, $5.6 million in the first half of 2001 and $11.3 million for all of
2001 (see footnote I for additional details).

The FASB issued SFAS No. 143 "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations" in
June 2001. This statement will be effective for financial statements issued for
fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. SFAS No. 143 addresses financial
accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of
tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. The
Company expects that the adoption of this statement will not have material
effect on its operations.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

OVERVIEW

The Company had net income of $25.5 million, or $0.56 per diluted share, for the
second quarter of 2002 compared to $23.3 million, or $0.49 per diluted share for
the comparable period in 2001. Net income as reported for the first six months
of 2002 was $67.8 million or $1.49 per diluted share. Operating earnings (as
defined in the third paragraph below) for the first six months of 2002 were
$50.6 million, or $1.11 per diluted share, compared to net income of $45.3
million, or $0.95 per diluted share, for the comparable period in 2001.

The Company's return on average equity was 26.41% and return on average assets
was 1.45% for the second quarter of 2002. Both ratios improved from the second
quarter of 2001. The net interest margin was 4.75%, noninterest income as a
percent of net revenue was 26%, and the efficiency ratio was 54.34%, based on
the Company's net income for the second quarter 2002. The Company's return on
average equity and return on average assets, as reported, for the six months
ended June 30, 2002 were 34.94% and 1.95% respectively. For the six months ended
June 30, 2002 the Company's operating return on average equity was 26.07% and
operating return on average assets was 1.46%. The net interest margin was 4.74%,
operating noninterest income as a percent of net revenue was 26%, and the
operating efficiency ratio was 53.45%, based on the Company's operating earnings
for the six months ended June 30, 2002.

Operating earnings for the first six months of 2002 and for the first quarter of
2002 exclude the $77 million cash payment received from Dime Bancorp, Inc.
("Dime") on January 7, 2002, representing the final termination payment relating
to the uncompleted merger of the Company and Dime. Operating earnings for the
first half of 2002 also excludes $21.5 million of one time expenses resulting
from the merger resolution and other charges ($8.3 million in expenses directly
related to the Dime termination payment and other expenses including, $0.2
million in salaries and benefits, $1.3 million in occupancy expenses, $1.1
million in equipment expenses, $0.2 million in expenses classified as outside
services - other, and $10.4 million in other expense) and an additional $21.3
million provision for possible loan and lease losses relating to the accelerated
disposition of certain nonperforming commercial and industrial loans.


17



NET REVENUE

Net revenue, which is the sum of net interest income and noninterest income, was
$101.7 million for the second quarter of 2002. This was comprised of net
interest income of $75.3 million and noninterest income of $26.3 million. Net
revenue for the second quarter of 2002 increased by 6.8% compared to the second
quarter of 2001, due mainly to increases in noninterest income and a decrease in
interest expense during the period. Net revenue, as reported, for the first six
months of 2002 was $275.8 million as compared to $187.3 million for the same
period in 2001. The increase of $88.5 million was due in most part to the $77
million Dime payment supplemented by increases in noninterest income. Net
revenue, on an operating basis, for the first six months of 2002 was $198.8
million, with net interest income of $146.9 million and noninterest income of
$51.9 million. Net revenue for the first half of 2002 increased by 6.1% compared
to the first half of 2001, due to increases in net interest income and
noninterest income.

NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income for the second quarter of 2002 was $75.3 million and the net
interest margin was 4.75%. Net interest income was $72.0 million with a net
interest margin of 4.81% for the comparable second quarter of 2001. Net interest
income increased by 4.7% compared to the second quarter of 2001. This increase
resulted primarily from a higher level of average interest earning assets and a
more favorable deposit mix, with an increase in NOW, money market and savings
deposits and a decrease in higher cost time deposits. Net interest income for
the first six months of 2002 was $146.9 million and the net interest margin was
4.74%, compared to the net interest income of $142.4 million and a net interest
margin of 4.78% for the first six months of 2001. Net interest income increased
over this time period primarily due to an increase in the Company's average
investment securities.

NONINTEREST INCOME (excluding security gains (losses))

Noninterest income was $26.2 million for the second quarter of 2002. This
represented an increase of 14.4 % compared to $22.9 million of noninterest
income in the second quarter of 2001. The increase in the second quarter of 2002
was primarily due to the Company's investment in bank owned life insurance in
June of 2001, and higher commercial service fees. Noninterest income as reported
was $128.9 million at June 30, 2002 compared to $44.9 million at June 30, 2002.
The increase resulted primarily from the recognition of the $77.0 million Dime
merger termination payment. Operating noninterest income was $51.9 million for
the six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to $44.9 million for the comparable
period in 2001. The increase from 2001 to 2002 was due to increases in service
fees collected and income collected on bank owned life insurance.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE

Noninterest expense was $56.6 million for the second quarter of 2002 compared to
$56.4 million for the comparable period in 2001. Noninterest expense as reported
was $130.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to $111.0
million for the six months ended June 30, 2001. The increase in noninterest
expense resulted mainly from $21.5 million of one time expenses resulting from
merger resolution and other charges. Operating noninterest expense for the six
months ended June 30, 2002 was $109.4 million compared to $111.0 million for the
same period in 2001. The flat noninterest expense for the second quarter and the
decrease in operating noninterest expense year to date was due primarily to
lower amortization expense on intangibles, resulting from the Company's no
longer amortizing goodwill due to the adoption of FASB 142, partially offset by
increased compensation and other expenses relating to business development
initiatives and expanded infrastructure to support the Company's business lines.

The efficiency ratio was 54.34% for the second quarter of 2002 and 55.16% for
the second quarter of 2001. The favorable variance in 2002 was due to higher net
revenue in 2002 when compared to the same period in 2001. The efficiency ratio
as reported for the first six months of 2002 was 46.35% compared to 54.84%. The
favorable efficiency ratio was mainly due to the recognition of the $77.0
million Dime merger termination payment. On an operating basis, the efficiency
ratio was 53.45% for the first six months of 2002 compared to 54.84% for 2002.


18



INCOME TAXES

The Company's effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2002 was
32.0% compared to 29.0% for the same period in 2001. The lower effective tax
rate in 2001 was primarily the result of the utilization of tax losses generated
by sales of securities in 2000 which were part of the Company's balance sheet
restructuring. The Company's effective tax rate as reported for the six months
ended June 30, 2002 was 37.5% compared to 29.5% for the same period in 2001. The
higher effective tax rate resulted mainly from provision for income taxes
associated with the recognition of the $77.0 million Dime merger termination
payment. The Company's effective tax rate for the first half of 2002 on an
operating basis, was 32.0% compared to 29.5% in the first half of 2001. The
lower effective tax rate in 2001 was primarily the result of the utilization of
tax losses generated by sales of securities in 2000 which were part of the
Company's balance sheet restructuring.


19



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

Introduction

The provision for possible loan and lease losses, portfolio loans was $7.5
million for the second quarter of 2002 and $6.0 million for the second quarter
of 2001. The provision for possible loan and lease losses, portfolio loans was
$15.0 million for the first half of 2002 and $12.0 million for the first half of
2001. The higher provisions in 2002 compared to 2001 reflect the level of net
charge offs in 2002 and the uncertain economic environment. The total provision
for possible loan and lease losses was $36.3 million for six months ended June
30, 2002, which included a $21.3 million provision for the accelerated
disposition of certain commercial and industrial loans. The Allowance for
Possible Loan and Lease Losses ("the Allowance") was $72.0 million at June 30,
2002 and $70.0 million at December 31, 2001. The Allowance at June 30, 2002
represented 412% of nonperforming loans and 1.66% of total loans. The Allowance
at year-end 2001 represented 158 % of nonperforming loans and 1.61 % of total
loans.

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

o the establishment of reserve amounts for all specifically identified
criticized loans, including those acquired in business combinations,
that have been designated as requiring attention by management's
internal loan review program.

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

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

o regulatory and other examinations

o the amount and trend of criticized loans

o peer comparisons with other financial institutions

o opportunities to dispose of marginally performing loans for cash
consideration

Based upon the process employed and giving recognition to all attendant factors
associated with the loan portfolio, management considers the Allowance to be
adequate at June 30, 2002.

Non Performing Loans and Non Performing Assets

At June 30, 2002, non-performing loans totaled $17.5 million, a decrease of
$27.0 million when compared to $44.5 million at December 31, 2001.
Non-performing assets were $ 18.6 million and $47.9 million at June 30, 2002 and
December 31, 2001, respectively. The decline in nonperforming loans and
nonperforming assets was primarily due to sales, in the first quarter of 2002,
of nonperforming loans designated as held for sale at December 31, 2001, and
charge offs to facilitate the accelerated disposition of other nonperforming
loans.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Loan and lease categories consisting of commercial and financial; commercial
real estate; consumer; and credit card loans totaled $3.9 billion at June 30,
2002, compared to $3.8 billion at December 31, 2001. These four categories,
which exclude residential mortgages represented 90% of loans and leases at June
30, 2002, an increase from 88% of loans and leases at December 31, 2001.
Residential mortgage loans decreased by $88.8 million to $448.3 million at June
30, 2002, as compared to December 31, 2001. The decrease resulted from
prepayments throughout the quarter and the Company's practice of selling new
originations in the secondary market.

Certain assets that had been previously classified by the Company as Commercial
and Industrial Loans have been reclassified by the Company as of June 30, 2002
and December 31, 2001 as Investment Securities Available for Sale. These assets
totaled $116.1 million at June 30, 2002 and $106.1 million at December 31, 2001.

Total investment securities were $2.4 billion at June 30, 2002, compared to $2.0
billion at December 31, 2001. The increase in investment securities resulted
from cash received from increased deposits and borrowings, as described later in
this section. Investment securities pledged as collateral for public sector
deposits, borrowings and other purposes increased by $377 million in the first
half of 2002. The majority of the increase related to public sector deposits.
Investment securities designated as trading assets of $576 million at December
31, 2001 were sold in January 2002. The proceeds from the sales were invested in
securities with shorter average lives and durations and resultant lower current
yields than the securities that were sold. The Company had no trading assets as
of June 30, 2002.

The Company's total assets were $7.5 billion at June 30, 2002, compared to $7.0
billion at year-end 2001. Total deposits were $6.3 billion at June 30, 2002,
compared to $6.0 billion at December 31, 2001. Total deposits at June 30, 2002
include deposits assumed on June 26, 2002 in the CBC transaction. The increase
in total deposits was primarily due to an increase in NOW, money market and
savings deposits of $532 million, partially offset by a decrease in time
deposits of $260 million. Time deposits as a percent of total deposits declined
from 37% at year end 2001 to 31% at June 30, 2002.

The Bank issued, in May of 2002, $200 million of 7.00% subordinated debt due in
2012. The net proceeds of the offering was $197.9 million. The Company
repurchased, in May of 2002, $7.8 million of its 7.75% subordinated debt due in
January 2004. The total cash allocated for this repurchase was $8.1 million. The
Company redeemed, in the first quarter of 2002, $23 million of holding company
8.75% subordinated debt due in 2006. The redemption was at par.

Total stockholders' equity was $416.6 million at June 30, 2002 and $383.9
million at December 31, 2001. The change in stockholders' equity resulted
primarily from $67.8 million of net income, offset by declaration of cash
dividends of $24.4 million, total stock repurchases of $29.8 million and an
increase in accumulated other comprehensive income of $11.7 million.

The Company repurchased in the open market a total of 977,488 shares in the
first half of 2002, at an average price of $29.72 per share. The total cash
allocated for these repurchases was $29.1 million. Other share repurchases of
25,704 shares were also completed by the Company in the first half of 2002. The
cash allocated for these repurchases was $0.7 million. Total shares outstanding
at June 30, 2002 were 45.3 million shares, compared to 45.8 million shares at
December 31, 2001.

MARKET RISK

Interest Rate Risk

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


23



The Company evaluates on a monthly basis its simulation model to measure the
sensitivity of net interest income to changes in market interest rates. There
have been no material changes in these monthly simulations from the Company's
results outlined in its form 10-K for year end December 31, 2001.


The Company enters into interest rate derivative contracts (interest rate swaps;
interest rate floors; and interest rate caps) from time to time for asset
liability management purposes. In the second quarter of 2001, the Company
entered into a series of two year maturity interest rate swaps and floors and
caps to limit the variability of the interest income of a pool of $700 million
of its prime rate-based loans. In the fourth quarter of 2001, the Company
entered into 10 year and 15 year maturity interest rate swaps in connection with
$35 million of fixed rate certificates of deposits with comparable maturities,
to effectively convert these deposits to variable rate liabilities indexed to
LIBOR. In the second quarter of 2002, the Company entered into 10 year maturity
interest rate swaps, in connection with the issuance of fixed rate subordinated
debt with a comparable maturity, to effectively convert $105 million of the debt
to a variable rate liability indexed to LIBOR. The notional amount of the
derivative contracts totals $840 million at June 30, 2002.

The purpose of these contracts is to limit the volatility in the Company's net
interest income and net interest margin in the event of changes in interest
rates, in the context of the management of the Company's overall asset liability
risk. Management did not enter into these contracts for speculative purposes.
Under SFAS No. 133, the Company has adopted hedge accounting for these
contracts. The derivative contracts hedging the pool of prime rate-based loans
are being accounted for as "cash flow hedges" under SFAS No. 133, whereby the
net payments under the contracts are recorded in interest income and the change
in valuation of the contracts should be recorded in "accumulated other
comprehensive income (loss)" in total stockholders' equity. Changes in interest
rates will impact the cash flows and valuation of the derivative contracts, but
management does not expect the overall financial statement impact to be material
under any interest rate scenario. The derivative contracts hedging the fixed
rate certificates of deposit and the fixed rate subordinated debt are accounted
for as "fair value" hedges using the "short-cut method" under SFAS No. 133.
Under the short-cut method, any changes in value of the hedged item is assumed
to be exactly as much as the change in the value of the derivative contract.
Therefore, in a fair value hedge, the hedged item is adjusted by exactly the
same amount as the derivative, with no impact on earnings.

Liquidity

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

Capital

The Company is not aware of any current recommendations by the regulatory
authorities that would have a material adverse effect on the Company's capital
resources or operations. The capital ratios for the Company at June 30, 2002 and
the minimum regulatory guidelines for such capital ratios for qualification as a
well-capitalized institution are as follows:


24






Holding Company Capital Ratios
Ratios at Minimum Regulatory
June 30, 2002 Guidelines for Well-Capitalized
------------- -------------------------------

Total Risk-Based Capital .......................... 12.80% 10.0%
Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital ......................... 7.67% 6.0%
Tier 1 Leverage Ratio ............................. 5.80% 4.0%




Bank Capital Ratios
Ratios at Minimum Regulatory
June 30, 2002 Guidelines for Well-Capitalized
------------- -------------------------------

Total Risk-Based Capital .......................... 13.51% 10.0%
Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital ......................... 8.45% 6.0%
Tier 1 Leverage Ratio ............................. 6.37% 4.0%



The issuance in 2002 of subordinated debt by the Bank, and the repurchase and
redemption in 2002 of subordinated debt by the Company, reflected a strategy to
increase total capital and the ratio of total capital to risk weighted assets;
to reduce the amount of debt outstanding at the holding company; to decrease the
average cost of subordinated debt; and to lengthen the average maturity of
subordinated debt.

State of New Jersey Corporate Income Tax Legislation Approved in July of 2002

The State of New Jersey approved, in July of 2002, new tax legislation that
changes the calculation of income taxes payable by corporations located in the
state. Certain of these changes decrease the benefit of tax planning strategies
used by corporations to reduce tax liability. Other changes include an
alternative minimum tax.

The Company is reviewing its alternatives to minimize the effect of the new tax
legislation. The Company believes that the net impact of the new legislation
will not have a material impact on its future earnings or financial position.

Change in Independent Accountants

The Company announced, on May 22, 2002, that it had appointed Ernst & Young LLP
and dismissed Arthur Andersen LLP as its independent accountants.
