Note 1 - General
The accompanying financial statements of Patriot Bank Corp. and
Subsidiaries ("Patriot") include the accounts of the parent company, Patriot
Bank Corp. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Patriot Bank and Patriot
Investment Company. All material intercompany balances and transactions have
been eliminated in consolidation. These financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and therefore do not include
certain information or footnotes necessary for the presentation of financial
condition, results of operations, and cash flows in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles. However, in the opinion of management, the
consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (which consist of
normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the results for
the unaudited periods. The results of operations for the three-month and
nine-month period ended September 30, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the
results which may be expected for the entire year. The consolidated financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the annual report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 2001.

Patriot Mortgage's net income includes support allocations of $166,000 and
$497,000 for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2002
compared to $152,000 and $457,000 for the same periods in 2001. Patriot
Mortgage's funding is based off the 30-day FHLB average. The cost of funds was
$64,000 and $146,000 for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September
30, 2002 compared to $62,000 and $187,000 for the same periods in 2001.
Patriot Leasing's net income includes an internal charge of $60,000 and $180,000
for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2002 and 2001.
Patriot Leasing's funding is based off a three year average of the 3 year FHLB
average plus a spread. The cost of funds to Patriot Leasing for the first
nine-months in 2002 was $1,246,000 and $3,674,000 for the three-month and
nine-month periods ended September 30, 2002 compared to $1,126,000 and
$3,292,000 for the same periods in 2001.

Note 7 - Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
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. Patriot adopted SFAS No. 133 on January 1, 2001.
At the time of adoption, Patriot reclassified approximately $220,471,000 of
fixed rate mortgage backed securities, CMO's and agency securities from held to
maturity to available for sale resulting in a net of tax increase of
approximately $3,000,000 in accumulated other comprehensive income. Patriot
typically has not used derivative instruments and currently holds no positions
that had further impact on earnings, financial condition or equity. During 2001,
Patriot sold $30,333,000 of the securities reclassified resulting in a
cumulative change in accounting principle with a net after tax impact of a
$204,000 loss.
Note 8 - Accounting for Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
In June 2001, the FASB issued Statement No. 142, "Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets." The Statement addresses financial accounting and reporting
for acquired goodwill and other intangible assets and supersedes APB Opinion No.
17, Intangible Assets. It addresses how intangible assets that are acquired
individually or with a group of other assets (but not those acquired in a
business combination) should be accounted for in financial statements upon their
acquisition. The Statement also addresses how goodwill and other intangible
assets should be accounted for after they have been initially recognized in the
financial statements, including requirements for periodic impairment evaluation.
The provisions of the Statement are required to be applied starting with fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 2001, except that goodwill and intangible
assets acquired after June 30, 2001, will be subject immediately to the
non-amortization and amortization provisions of the Statement. The Statement is
required to be applied at the beginning of an entity's fiscal year and to be
applied to all goodwill and other intangible assets recognized in its financial
statements at that date. Patriot adopted Statement No. 142 in January 2002.
Patriot has completed its evaluation and, based on this evaluation, there was no
indication of transitional impairment losses as of the date of adoption on its
operations.
As of the date of adoption, Patriot had unamortized goodwill in the amount
of $8.7 million, which will be subject to the transition provisions of SFAS No.
142. Amortization expenses related to goodwill was $0 and $183,000 for the three
months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, and $0 and $547,000 for the nine
months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively.
A summary of goodwill and amortizing intangible assets at September 30, 2002 is

Note 9 - Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations
In June 2001, the FASB issued Statement No. 143, "Accounting for Asset
Retirement Obligations." This Statement addresses financial accounting and
reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived
assets and the associated asset retirement costs. It applies to legal
obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets that result from
the acquisition, construction, development and (or) the normal operation of a
long-lived asset, except for certain obligations of lessees. As used in this
Statement, a legal obligation is an obligation that a party is required to
settle as a result of an existing or enacted law, statute, ordinance, or written
or oral contract or by legal construction of a contract under the doctrine of
promissory estoppel. This Statement requires that the fair value of a liability
for an asset retirement obligation be recognized in the period in which it is
incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The associated
asset retirement costs are capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the
long-lived asset. It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal
years beginning after June 15, 2002. Earlier application is encouraged. Patriot
does not expect the adoption of this Statement to have an impact on it's
earnings, financial condition, or equity.
Note 10 - Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets
In August 2001, the FASB issued Statement No. 144, "Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." This Statement addresses financial
accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets and
supersedes SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and
for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of." However, the Statement retains the
fundamental provisions of Statement 121 for (a) recognition and measurement of
the impairment of long-lived assets to be held and used and (b) measurement of
long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale. This Statement supersedes the
accounting and reporting provisions of APB Opinion No. 30, "Reporting the
Results of Operations-Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a
Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and
Transactions," for the disposal of a segment of a business. However, this
Statement retains the requirement of Opinion 30 to report discontinued
operations separately from continuing operations and extends that reporting to a
component of an entity that either has been disposed of (by sale, by
abandonment, or in distribution to owners) or is classified as held for sale.
The provisions of this Statement are effective for financial statements issued
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001, and interim periods within
those fiscal years, with earlier application encouraged. The provisions of this
Statement generally are to be applied prospectively. The adoption of this
Statement did not have any impact on Patriot's earnings, financial condition, or
equity.
Note 11 - Reporting Gains and Losses from Extinguishment of Debt
In April 2002, the FASB issued Statement No. 145, "Reporting Gains and Losses
from Extinguishment of Debt". This Statement rescinds FASB Statement No. 4,
Reporting Gains and Losses from Extinguishment of Debt, and an amendment of that
statement, FASB Statement No. 64, Extinguishments of Debt Made to Satisfy
Sinking-Fund Requirements. This Statement amends FASB Statement No. 13,
Accounting for Leases, to eliminate an inconsistency between the required
accounting for sale-leaseback transactions and the required accounting for
certain lease modifications. It is effective for financial statements issued for
fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002, and interim periods within those
fiscal years. The adoption of this Statement did not have an impact on Patriot's
earnings, financial condition, or equity.
Note 12 - Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities
In June 2002, the FASB issued Statement No. 146, "Accounting for Costs
Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities". This statement requires companies
to recognize costs associated with exit or disposal activities when they are
incurred rather than at the date of a commitment to an exit or disposal plan.
Statement 146 is to be applied prospectively to exit or disposal activities
initiated after December 31, 2002. Patriot does not expect the adoption of this
Statement to have a significant impact on its earnings, financial condition, or
equity.
14
Note 13 - Acquisitions of Certain Financial Institutions
In October 2002, the FASB issued Statement No. 147, Acquisitions of Certain
Financial Institutions, which amends SFAS No. 72, Accounting for Certain
Acquisitions of Banking or Thrift Institutions, SFAS No.144, Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, and FASB Interpretation No. 9.
Except for transactions between two or more mutual enterprises, this Statement
removes acquisitions of financial institutions from the scope of both Statement
No. 72 and Interpretation 9 and requires that those transactions be accounted
for in accordance with FASB Statements No. 141, Business Combinations, and No.
142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Thus, the requirement in paragraph 5
of Statement No. 72 to recognize any excess of the fair value of liabilities
assumed over the fair value of tangible and identifiable intangible assets
acquired as an unidentifiable intangible asset no longer applies to acquisitions
of businesses within the scope of this Statement. In addition, this Statement
amends Statement No. 144 to include in its scope long-term customer-relationship
intangible assets of financial institutions such as depositor- and
borrower-relationship intangible assets and credit cardholder intangible assets.
Consequently, those intangible assets are subject to the same undiscounted cash
flow recoverability test and impairment loss recognition and measurement
provisions that Statement No. 144 requires for other long-lived assets that are
held and used.
With some exceptions, the requirements of Statement No. 147 are effective
October 1, 2002. The adoption of this Statement did not have an impact on
Patriot's earnings, financial condition, or equity.

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 herein 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 hereof. Patriot undertakes no obligation to publicly revise or update
these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that arise
after the date hereof.
GENERAL. Patriot reported diluted earnings per share of $.32 and net
income of $2,012,000 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2002
compared to diluted earnings per share of $.26 and net income of $1,578,000 for
the three month period ended September 30, 2001. Diluted earnings per share for
the nine-month period ending September 30, 2002 was $.93 and net income of
$5,832,000 compared with $.75 and net income of $4,455,000 for the nine-month
period ended September 30, 2001. Return on average equity was 12.06%, for the
three-month period ended September 30, 2002 compared to 10.67%, for the
three-month period ended September 30, 2001.
NET INTEREST INCOME. Net interest income for the three-month and
nine-month periods ended September 30, 2002 was $7,621,000 and $21,663,000
compared to $5,987,000 and $17,324,000 for the same periods in 2001. The
increase in net interest income is primarily due to the impact of decreases in
market rates on Patriot's funding sources and Patriot's strategy to reduce
investments, mortgage-backed securities and mortgage loans and the level of
wholesale funding. The decreases in market rates on Patriot's funding sources
outpaced the decrease in rates on assets and, as a result, expanded Patriot's
net interest margin. Patriot's net interest margin (net interest income as a
percentage of average interest-earning assets) for the three-month and
nine-month periods ended September 30, 2002 was 3.50% and 3.29% compared to
2.61% and 2.40% for the same period in 2001.
Interest on loans and leases was $12,281,000 and $37,212,000 for the
three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2002 compared to
$13,505,000 and $41,230,000 for the same periods in 2001. The average balance of
loans was $639,368,000 with an average yield of 7.75% for the nine-month period
ended September 30, 2002 compared to an average balance of $655,172,000 with an
average yield of 8.37% for the same period in 2001. The decrease in average
balance is primarily due to Patriot allowing mortgages to run-off, offset by
aggressive marketing of commercial loans and leases. The decrease in average
yield is primarily a result of a decrease in interest rates.
Interest on Patriot's investment portfolio (investment and mortgage-backed
securities) was $4,295,000 and $13,076,000 for the three-month and nine-month
periods ended September 30, 2002 compared to $4,931,000 and $16,595,000 for the
same periods in 2001. The average balance of the investment portfolio was
$296,462,000 with an average yield of 6.50% for the nine-month period ended
September 30, 2002 compared to an average balance of $342,947,000 with an
average yield of 6.81% for the same period in 2001. The decrease in average
balance is primarily due to Patriot allowing the investment portfolio to
amortize so it can be replaced with generally higher-yielding commercial loans
and leases. The decrease in average yield is related to general decreases in
market rates on adjustable rate securities.
Interest on total deposits was $3,341,000 and $11,239,000 for the
three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2002 compared to
$6,330,000 and $22,512,000 for the same periods in 2001. The average balance of
total deposits was $521,330,000 with an average cost of 2.86% for the nine-month
period ended September 30, 2002 compared to an average balance of $587,874,000
with an average cost of 5.12% for the same period in 2001. The decrease in
average balance is primarily the result of an decrease in Patriot's jumbo
certificates of deposit, offset by aggressive marketing of money market
accounts, transaction-based deposit accounts and other certificates of deposit.
The overall decrease in the average cost on deposits was primarily the result of
a decrease in interest rates and emphasis placed on lower cost money market and
transaction based deposit accounts.
Interest on borrowings was $5,621,000 and $17,453,000 for the three-month
and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2002 compared to $6,190,000 and
$18,478,000 for the same periods in 2001. The average balance of borrowings was
$411,321,000 with an average cost of 5.60% for the nine-month period ended
September 30, 2002 compared to an average balance of $419,212,000 with a cost of
5.82% for the same period in 2001. The decrease in average balance was primarily
due to borrowings being repaid by proceeds received on the run-off of the
mortgage loan portfolio and growth in Patriot's branch deposits. The decrease in
the yield on borrowings was the result of a decrease in interest rates.
PROVISION FOR CREDIT LOSSES. The provision for credit losses was
$1,200,000 and $2,875,000 for the three-month and nine-month periods ended
September 30, 2002 compared to $500,000 and $1,450,000 for the same period in
2001. The increased provision was the result of increased commercial loan and
lease outstandings, higher charge-offs as well as an increase in delinquency and
non-performing loans. An allowance for credit losses is maintained at a level
that represents management's best estimate of known and inherent losses in the
loan and lease portfolio. Management's periodic evaluation of the allowance for
credit losses is based upon evaluation of individual loans and leases, the
overall risk characteristics of the various portfolio segments, regression
analyses using 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
16
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.
Patriot's total loans consist of four distinct portfolios. Each of which is
monitored and analyzed seperately.
The mortgage loan portfolio is seasoned as Patriot has been in the
mortgage lending business for many years and has sold substantially all new
mortgage originations in the past two years. Patriot's mortgage loans are
generally well collateralized and historically Patriot has experienced minimal
losses on these loans. Because of Patriot's consistent history in mortgage
lending and the long-term nature of this portfolio, Patriot predominately relies
upon an internal regression analysis, which uses historical data to estimate
losses that are inherent in the portfolio.
The consumer loan portfolio consists of mostly home equity loans and
home equity lines of credit. The consumer loan portfolio is also mature as
Patriot has been in consumer lending business for many years. As with mortgage
lending, Patriot predominantly uses an internal regression analysis, which uses
historical data to estimate losses that are inherent in the portfolio.
Patriot entered the commercial lending business in 1996 and has
grown the portfolio into a substantial portion of total loans. Patriot uses
historical data to prepare regression models to monitor trends of charge-offs
and recoveries and establish appropriate allowance levels. Patriot also closely
monitors local economic and business trends relative to its commercial lending
portfolio to estimate the effect those trends may have on potential losses.
Patriot's commercial loan portfolio contains some loans that are substantially
larger than the loans within other portfolios. The potential loss associated
with an individual loan could have a significant impact on the allowance and
charge-off levels at Patriot. Therefore, Patriot closely monitors these loans
and will specifically reserve for individual loans which exhibit weakness.
Patriot entered the commercial leasing business in 1998 principally
through the acquisition of Keystone Leasing. Patriot's leasing portfolio has a
short, approximately 3 to 4 year life. Patriot performs an internal regression
analysis on this portfolio using historical data (including Keystone Leasing
data). Patriot also closely monitors regional and national economic business
trends relative to its commercial leasing portfolio to estimate the effects
those trends may have on potential losses.
Patriot's levels of delinquencies and non-performing assets have
increased somewhat but compare favorably with industry averages. At September
30, 2002 Patriot's non-performing assets were .60% of total assets compared to
..45% at the end of the same period in 2001. Additionally, Patriot had $9,200,000
in loans and leases, which were 30 days or more delinquent representing 1.43% of
Patriot's total loan and lease portfolios compared to $7,845,000 and 1.19%,
respectively, at the end of the same period in 2001.
NON-INTEREST INCOME. Total non-interest income was $1,985,000 and
$5,449,000 for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2002
compared to $1,991,000 and $5,941,000 for the same periods in 2001. The decrease
in non-interest income for the nine-month period,was primarily due to $317,000
in gains recognized on the sale of investment securities available for sale
during 2002 versus $503,000 in gains recognized on the sale of investment
securities available for sale during 2001 as well as a small decline in mortgage
banking gains. Non-interest income also includes recurring non-interest income
such as loan and deposit fees, mortgage banking gains, ATM fees, and income from
bank owned life insurance, that are consistent with the prior period.
NON-INTEREST EXPENSE. Total non-interest expense was $5,901,000 and
$16,721,000 for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2002
compared to $5,271,000 and $15,334,000 for the same periods in 2001. The
increases in non-interest expense was primarily due to higher compensation costs
due to increases in staffing associated with branch deposit growth and
commercial lending offset by the elimination of $547,000 of goodwill
amortization.
INCOME TAX PROVISION. The income tax provision was $493,000 and $1,684,000
for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2002 compared to
$629,000 and $1,822,000 for the same periods in 2001. The effective tax rate was
19.68% and 22.41% for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30,
2002 compared to 28.50% and 28.11% for the same periods in 2001. The decreases
in the effective tax rate was primarily due to the elimination of non-deductible
goodwill amortization expense in 2002. Additionally, Patriot purchased certain
tax beneficial securities during the fourth quarter of 2001 and throughout 2002.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
LOAN AND LEASE PORTFOLIO. Patriot's primary portfolio loan products are
commercial loans, small ticket commercial leases, fixed-rate and adjustable-rate
residential mortgage loans and home equity loans and lines of credit. Patriot
also offers residential construction loans and other consumer loans. At
September 30, 2002 Patriot's total loan portfolio was $629,691,000, compared to
a total loan portfolio of $642,940,000 at December 31, 2001. The decrease in the
loan portfolio is primarily the result of Patriot allowing mortgages to run-off,
offset by an emphasis placed on increasing commercial lending and leasing
relationships.
17
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS. Cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2002
were $25,637,000 compared to $21,466,000 at December 31, 2001. The increase in
cash balances is associated with timing differences in borrowing activity and
investment prepayments.
INVESTMENT AND MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES. Investment securities consist
primarily of U.S. agency securities, mortgage-backed securities which are
generally insured or guaranteed by either FHLMC, FNMA or the GNMA and
collateralized mortgage obligations. Total investment and mortgage-backed
securities at September 30, 2002 were $279,453,000 compared to $291,249,000 at
December 31, 2001. The decrease in investment and mortgage-backed securities was
primarily due to $113,513,000 of normal investment prepayments, sales and
maturities offset by the purchase of $95,000,000 of available for sale
securities. Pursuant to an interest rate risk strategy to reduce the asset
sensitivity of the bank, certain adjustable rate held to maturity securities
were sold. Consequently, the remaining held to maturity portfolio of $31,537,000
has been reclassified to available for sale.
OTHER ASSETS. Other assets at September 30, 2002 were $5,136,000 compared
to $6,732,000 at December 31, 2001. The decrease in other assets was primarily
attributable to an adjustment in Patriot's deferred tax position associated with
unrealized securities gains offset by normal growth in the cash value on bank
owned life insurance.
DEPOSITS. Deposits are primarily attracted from within Patriot's market
area through the offering of various deposit instruments, including NOW
accounts, money market accounts, savings accounts, certificates of deposit and
retirement savings plans. Patriot also attracts jumbo certificates of deposit.
Total deposits at September 30, 2002 were $533,166,000 compared to $533,863,000
at December 31, 2001. While total deposit balances remained consistent with the
prior period, Patriot's core deposit balances increased by approximately
$40,000,000 which was offset by a decline in certificates of deposit balances.
18
BORROWINGS. Patriot utilizes borrowings as a source of funds for its asset
growth and its asset/liability management. Patriot is eligible to obtain
advances from the 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. Patriot may also
utilize repurchase agreements to meet its liquidity needs. 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. Total borrowings at September 30, 2002 were
$377,910,000 compared to $405,179,000 at December 31, 2001. The decrease was
primarily associated with borrowings that matured during the year and were
repaid.
OTHER LIABILTIIES. Other Liabilities at September 30, 2002 were $7,601,000
compared to $5,993,000 at December 31, 2001. The increase in balance is
primarily the result of the accrual of Patriot's corporate income taxes as a
result from Patriot's net operating income offset by timing differences in
payable accounts.
STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY. Total stockholders' equity was $66,663,000 at
September 30, 2002 compared to $61,706,000 at December 31, 2001. The increase in
balance is due to earnings and accumulated other comprehensive income offset by
dividends paid to shareholders' and the repurchase of stock.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
ALLOWANCE FOR LOSSES ON LOANS
The allowance for losses on loans is based on management's ongoing evaluation of
the loan portfolio and reflects an amount considered by management to be its
best estimate of known and inherent losses in the portfolio. Management
considers a variety of factors when establishing the allowance, such as the
impact of current economic conditions, diversification of the loan portfolio,
delinquency statistics, results of loan review and related classifications, and
historic loss rates. In addition, certain individual loans which management has
identified as problematic are specifically provided for, based upon an
evaluation of the borrower's perceived ability to pay, the estimated adequacy of
the underlying collateral and other relevant factors. Consideration is also
given to examinations performed by regulatory agencies. Although provisions have
been established and segmented by type of loan, based upon management's
assessment of their differing inherent loss characteristics, the entire
allowance for losses on loans is available to absorb further loan losses in any
category.
Management uses significant estimates to determine the allowance for loan
losses. Since the allowance for loan losses is dependent, to a great extent, on
conditions that may be beyond Patriot's control, it is at least reasonably
possible that management's estimate of the allowance for loan losses and actual
results could differ in the near term.
In addition, regulatory authorities, as an integral part of their examinations,
periodically review the allowance for loan losses. They may require additions to
the allowance based upon their judgements about information available to them at
the time of examination.
INCOME TAXES
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax
consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement
carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax
bases, as well as operating loss carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable
income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be
recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a
change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the
enactment date. A valuation allowance is established against deferred tax assets
when in the judgement of management, it is more likely than not that such
deferred tax assets will not become available. Based on management's evaluation
of the likelihood of realization, no valuation allowance has been established.
Because the judgement about the level of future taxable income is dependent to a
great extent on matters that may, at least in part be beyond Patriot's control,
it is at least reasonably possible that management's judgement about the need
for a valuation allowance for deferred taxes could change in the near term.
REAL ESTATE OWNED (REO) AND OTHER REPOSSESSED PROPERTY
Real estate owned is defined to include real estate Patriot acquires
through foreclosure. REO is recorded on Patriot's books at the lower of
Patriot's carrying value in the loan or the fair value of the property as of the
date of transfer to REO. Any excess of the recorded investment in the loan over
the fair market value is charged against Patriot's loan loss reserve.
Other repossessed property consists of mostly leased equipment returned to
Patriot at the end of the lease. The off-lease equipment is recorded on
Patriot's books at the lower of Patriot's carrying value in the lease or the
fair value of the equipment as of the date of transfer to other repossessed
property. Any excess of the recorded investment in the lease over the fair
market value is taken as a loss on Patriot's books. Additionally, valuation of
REO and other repossessed property is dependent to a great extent on current
economic, market and geographic conditions, and that may, at least in part be
beyond Patriot's control. It is at least reasonably possible that management's
estimates included in the valuation of REO and other repossessed property could
change in the near term. Patriot's current judgement is that the valuation of
REO and other repossessed property remains appropriate at September 30, 2002.
20
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 the three-month and nine-month period ended September 30, 2002,
significant liquidity was provided by the maturity, principal repayment and sale
of investment and mortgage-backed securities. These funds were invested in new
securities. Additional liquidity was used to repay borrowings.
At September 30, 2002, Patriot had outstanding loan commitments of
$68,350,000. Patriot anticipates that it will have sufficient funds available to
meet its loan origination commitments. Certificates of deposit which are
scheduled to mature in one year or less from September 30, 2002 totaled
$133,328,000.
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). A bank is considered
"well-capitalized" if it maintains a minimum leverage capital ratio of not less
than 5% of tier 1 capital to total adjusted assets, a tier 1 capital ratio of
not less than 6% of risk adjusted assets, and a minimum risk-based total capital
ratio (based upon credit risk) of not less than 10%. At September 30, 2002,
Patriot Bank's and Patriot Bank Corp.'s capital ratios exceeded all requirements
to be considered well capitalized. The following table sets forth the capital
ratios of Patriot Bank Corp., Patriot Bank and the current regulatory
requirements at September 30, 2002:

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 and directors, 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.
In an effort to reduce interest rate risk at the beginning of the fourth
quarter of 2002, Patriot restructured components of its balance sheet as
follows: restructured $34 million in MBS securities with elevated prepayment
characteristics at a gain; prepaid $50 million in FHLB borrowings with a
prepayment penalty in order to provide more appropriate funding for adjustable
assets. The results of these transactions are anticipated to be relatively
neutral to results for the fourth quarter 2002. Due to the forward looking
nature of the following interest rate risk discussion these transactions are
included in these discussions.
Patriot uses three complementary methods to analyze and measure interest
rate risk as part of the overall management of interest rate risk. They are
income simulation modeling, estimates of economic value of equity, and static
gap analysis. The combination of these three methods provides a reasonably
comprehensive summary of the levels of interest rate risk of Patriot when
exposed to time factors and changes in interest rate environments.
Income simulation modeling is utilized in measuring Patriot's 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 September 30, 2003, based
upon the assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet financial instruments in
existence at September 30, 2002. 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 September 30, 2003 resulting from changes in
interest rates.
September 30,2002
Rate ramp to interest rates % change
--------------------------- -----------------
+2% (0.42)%
-2% (1.86)%
Economic value of equity (EVE) estimates the discounted present value of
asset and liability cash flows. Discount rates are based upon market prices for
comparable assets and liabilities. As part of this evaluation Patriot has
contracted with an independent consultant to perform an extensive core deposit
analysis to appropriately estimate the discounted present value of the retail
deposit franchise. Upward and downward rate shocks are used to measure
volatility in relation to such interest rate movements in relation to an
unchanged environment. This method of measurement primarily evaluates the longer
term repricing risks and options in Patriot's balance sheet. Patriot has
established policy limits for upward and downward rate shocks of 20% of economic
value of equity at risk for every 100 basis points of interest rate shock.
Additionally Patriot has a policy limit that the ratio of EVE adjusted equity to
EVE adjusted assets will be maintained above a 5% ratio. The following table
reflects the estimated economic value of equity at risk and the ratio of EVE
adjusted equity to EVE adjusted assets at September 30, 2002, resulting from
shocks to interest rates. September 30,2002
Percent change EVE Equity/
Rate shock from base EVE Assets
---------- --------- ----------
+2% -11.38% 11.09%
+1% -4.30% 11.66%
Base 11.87%
-1% -6.08% 10.97%
-2% -16.15% 9.65%
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.
22
The following table summarizes the amount of interest-earning assets and
interest-bearing liabilities outstanding at September 30, 2002, which are
anticipated, based upon certain assumptions, to reprice or mature in each of the
future time periods shown. Loan amounts 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. Estimated
prepayment rates were applied to mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities
based upon industry expectations. Core deposit decay rates have been estimated
based upon a historical analysis of core deposit trends. With the exceptions
noted above, the amount of assets and liabilities 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 the gap and cumulative gap as a percentage of total assets at
September 30, 2002:
0-90 91-180 181-365
Days Days Days
---- ---- ----
September 30,2002
GAP to Total Assets -0.52% 5.05% 2.56%
Cumulative GAP to Total Assets -0.52% 4.53% 7.09%
As shown above, Patriot has a positive gap (interest sensitive assets are
greater than interest sensitive liabilities) within the next year, which
generally indicates that an increase in rates may lead to an increase in net
interest income and a decrease in rates may lead to a decrease in net interest
income. Interest sensitivity gap analysis measures whether assets or liabilities
may reprice but does not capture the ability to reprice or the range of
potential repricing on assets or liabilities. Thus indications based on a
positive or negative gap position need to be analyzed in conjunction with other
interest rate risk management tools.
Patriot's management believes that the assumptions and combination of
methods utilized in evaluating 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.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Patriot's principal
executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that
Patriot's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-14(C)

evaluation of these controls and procedures as of a date within (90) days
prior to the filing date of this form 10-Q, are effective.
23
(b) Changes in Internal Controls. There have been no significant changes in
Patriot's internal controls or in other factors that could significantly
affect these controls subsequent to the date of the evaluation thereof,
including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies
and material weaknesses.
