Retirement Savings Plan: We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for plan benefits of the Prime Bancorp, Inc. Retirement Savings Plan as of December 31, 1997 and 1996 and the related statements of changes in net assets available for plan benefits for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1997. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for plan benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the changes in net assets available for plan benefits for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1997, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as whole. The supplementary information included in Schedule 1 is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements, but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This supplementary information is the responsibility of the Plan's management. The fund information in the statements of net assets available for plan benefits and the statements of changes in net assets available for plan benefits is presented for purposes of additional analysis rather than to present the net assets available for plan benefits and changes in net assets available for plan benefits of each fund. Such supplementary information and fund information have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly presented in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole. /s/ KPMG Peat Marwick LLP Philadelphia, PA 19103 June 1, 1998 PRIME BANCORP, INC.

RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (1)	 Description of Plan The following description provides only general information of the Prime Bancorp, Inc. (the Company) Retirement Savings Plan (the Plan) which became effective July 1, 1984. Participants should refer to the Plan agreement for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions. The Company merged with First Sterling Bancorp, Inc. on December 31, 1996. As a result, all First Sterling employees as of December 31, 1996 became employees of the Company and adopted the Plan. Assets of the former First Sterling Plan were transferred to the Plan, at their current value, with no recorded gain or loss, on January 23, 1998. The Plan changed the trustee and recordkeeper from Charles Schwab and Fidelity Federal, respectively, to Delaware Charter Guaranty and Trust effective January 1, 1998. General The Plan is a salary reduction plan, also called a "401(k) plan", covering all full and part-time employees of the Company who have completed one year of service and attained age twenty-one. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). Contributions Each year, participants may contribute up to 15% of pretax annual compensation, as defined in the Plan, up to a maximum of $9,500. The Company may contribute a matching contribution based on the amount of the participant's elected salary reduction. Currently the Company matches 66 2/3% on the first 6% of the participants elected compensation. Additional amounts may be contributed at the option of the Company's board of directors. Discretionary contributions amounted to $199,000 in 1997, $176,000 in 1996 and $241,000 in 1995. Participant Accounts Each participant's account is credited with the participant's contribution and allocation of (i) the Company's contribution and (ii) Plan earnings. Allocations are based on participant earnings or account balances, as defined. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant's vested account. 7 (Continued) PRIME BANCORP, INC. RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN Notes to Financial Statements, Continued - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ (1)	 Continued Vesting Participant's are immediately vested in their contributions plus actual earnings thereon. Vesting in the Company's matching and discretionary contribution portion of their accounts plus actual earnings thereon is based on years of continuous service. A participant is 100% vested after five years of credited service. Investment Options Upon enrollment in the Plan, a participant may direct employee contributions in any of the following investment options: Growth Funds - The growth funds include the Kaufmann Fund and the Neuberger & Berman Focus Fund which aim for capital appreciation by investing in a broad range of companies that are perceived to be undervalued and undergoing positive changes or turnarounds. Growth & Income Funds - The growth & income funds include the Vanguard Wellington Fund and the Neuberger & Berman Guardian Fund which seek long-term capital growth, current income and growth of income. The funds typically invest in securities (stocks and bonds) of dividend-paying companies with the potential for earnings growth. Prime Bank Certificates of Deposit - Interest bearing certificates issued by the Bank at terms ranging from 6 months to 60 months and rates ranging from 4.40% to 6.30%. Prime Bancorp, Inc. Common Stock - Seeks long-term capital growth, current income and growth of income. If monies available from contributions are insufficient to purchase a whole share of Prime Bancorp, Inc. common stock, such amount is invested on a short-term basis in a money market fund, which emphasizes liquidity and preservation of capital by investing in short-term debt instruments (maturing in one year or less). The money market fund is not a direct participant investment option. Bond Funds - The bond funds include the Benham GNMA Income Fund and the Dreyfus Short Interest Government Fund which seek high income consistent with a high degree of principal stability by investing primarily in short-term, high quality bonds (rated AAA or AA). Participants may change their investment options quarterly. 8 (Continued) PRIME BANCORP, INC. RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN Notes to Financial Statements, Continued - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ (1) 	Continued Loan Fund Participants may borrow from their fund accounts any amount up to a maximum equal to the lessor of (i) $50,000 or (ii) 50% of their vested account balance. Loan transactions are treated as a transfer to (from) the various investment funds from (to) the participants' Loan Fund. Loan terms range from 1-5 years except for the purchase of a primary residence, which the range is 1-25 years. The loans are secured by the balance in the participant's account and bear interest at a rate commensurate with local prevailing rates as determined quarterly by the Loan Committee. Principal and interest are paid ratably through bi-weekly payroll deductions. Payment of Benefits On termination of service due to death, disability or retirement, a participant may elect to receive either a lump-sum amount equal to the value of the participant's vested interest in his or her account, or annual installments over 5 years, 10 years or life. For termination of service due to other reasons, a participant may receive the value of the vested interest in his or her account as a lump-sum distribution. Forfeited Accounts Forfeited non-vested accounts may be used to reduce future employer contributions. There were no material forfeited non-vested accounts in 1997, 1996 or 1995. Rollovers Participants are permitted to deposit into the Plan, distributions received from other qualified plans (i.e., rollovers). Rollovers from other plans are allocated to the various funds based on the participant's direction. Participants are 100% vested in these rollovers. Administrative Fees All administrative expenses incurred by the Plan are paid for by the Company. 9 (Continued) PRIME BANCORP, INC. RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN Notes to Financial Statements, Continued - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ (2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The financial statements of the Plan are prepared under the accrual method of accounting. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Investment Valuation and Income Recognition Investments in non-dollar mutual funds are carried at fair value, measured by net asset value reported by the respective mutual funds. The value of units of the mutual funds is based on the underlying fair value of the investments within the funds. The money market fund is valued at amortized cost which approximates fair value. Prime Bancorp, Inc. Common Stock is stated at fair value based on quoted market price. The certificates of deposit are carried at par which approximates fair value. Employee loans are stated at their unpaid principal balance which approximates fair value. Securities transactions are recognized on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on investments are determined by the weighted average method. Changes in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) are included in investment income. Payment of Benefits Benefits are recorded when paid. 10 (Continued) PRIME BANCORP, INC.
