Note 5 - Year 2000 Compliance.
STATE OF READINESS. Pursuant to its strategic business plan, Patriot has
made significant investments in new technology over the last two years. As a
result of these investments, the primary systems used by Patriot are believed to
be Year 2000 compliant. Management has substantially completed a comprehensive
program to analyze, test and proactively address all of Patriot's systems to
ensure Year 2000 compliance. Management has also substantially completed the
process of evaluating significant customer and vendor relationships as well as
liquidity, given the potential for concern among deposit customers resulting in
decreased deposit balances, to assess risks and make appropriate contingency
plans.
RISKS. Year 2000 issues result from the inability of many computer
programs or computerized equipment to accurately calculate, store or use data as
the year 2000 approaches. Banking, by its nature, is a very data processing
intensive industry. These potential shortcomings could result in a system
failure or miscalculations causing disruptions of operation, including among
other things, a temporary inability to process transactions, track important
customer information, provide convenient access to this information, or engage
in normal business operations.
CONTINGENCY PLANS. Patriot believes that the consequences of incomplete
or untimely resolution of its Year 2000 issues do not represent a known material
event or uncertainty that is reasonably likely to affect its future financial
results, or cause its reported financial information not to be necessarily
indicative of future operating results or future financial condition. If
compliance is not achieved in a timely manner by Patriot or any of its
significant related third parties, be it a supplier of services or customer, the
Year 2000 issue could possibly have a material effect on Patriot's operations
and financial position. Contingency plans are also being developed in the event
of any unanticipated interruptions in Patriots' mission critical systems.
Business continuation plans for critical business applications are being
developed. These plans include adequate staffing on site during the Year 2000
date change to quickly repair any errant applications. In addition, in the event
of any problems the Company would follow its current computer outage business
continuation plans until such problems are corrected.
COST. The cost of the project and the date on which Patriot plans to
complete both Year 2000 modifications and system conversions are based on
management's best estimates, which were derived utilizing numerous assumptions
of future events including the continued availability of certain resources,
third-party modification plans and other factors. However, there can be no
guarantee that these estimates will be achieved and actual results could differ
materially from those plans. Specific factors that might cause such material
differences include, but are not limited to, the availability and cost of
personnel trained in this area, the ability to locate and correct all relevant
computer codes, and similar uncertainties. Management currently estimates the
cost of its Year 2000 plan including performing tests, documenting results and
making modifications where necessary to be approximately $145,000 of which
$82,000 has been expensed prior to March 31, 1999.
Pursuant to its strategic business plan, Patriot has made significant
investments in new technology over the last two years. As a result of these
investments, the primary systems used by Patriot are currently Year 2000
compliant. Management has initiated a comprehensive program to analyze and
proactively plan for ensuring all of Patriot's systems are year 2000 compliant.
It is currently anticipated that certain secondary systems will require
modification. The cost of these modifications is expected to be minimal.
Note 6 - 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 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. This statement is
effective for all fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after December 15,
1999. Earlier adoption is permitted. Patriot has not yet determined the impact,
if any, of this statement, including if applicable, its provisions for the
potential reclassifications of certain investment securities, on earnings,
financial condition or equity.
Note 7 - Accounting for Mortgage-backed Securities Retained after the
Securitization of Mortgage Mortgage Loans Held
12
13
for Sale by a Mortgage Banking Enterprise
In October 1998, the FASB issued Statement No. 134, "Accounting for
Mortgage-backed Securities Retained after the Securitization of Mortgage Loans
Held for Sale by a Mortgage Banking Enterprise." This statement requires that
after the securitizaion of a mortgage loan held for sale, an entity engaged in
mortgage banking activities classify any retained mortgage-backed securities
based on the ability and intent to sell or hold those investments, except that a
mortgage banking enterprise must classify as trading any retained
mortgage-backed securities that it commits to sell before or during the
securitization process. This statement is effective for the first fiscal quarter
beginning after December 15, 1999, with earlier adoption permitted. This
statement provides a one-time opportunity for an enterprise to reclassify, based
on the ability and intent on the date of adoption of this statement,
mortgage-backed securities and other beneficial interest retained after
securitization of mortgage loans held for sale from the trading category, except
for those with commitments in place. Patriot has not yet determined the impact,
if any, of this statement, including if applicable, its provisions for the
potential reclassifications of certain investment securities, on earnings,
financial condition or equity.
Note 9 - Business Combinations
On January 22, 1999, the Company consummated its acquisition of First
Lehigh Corporation (First Lehigh), the holding company of First Lehigh Bank. At
the time of the merger First Lehigh Bank was a commercial bank with $104,475,000
in total assets, $93,905,000 in total deposits, and five branches in Lehigh and
Carbon counties of Pennsylvania. Patriot issued 1,640,000 shares of common stock
for all of 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 will be
included in Patriot;s consolidated statement of income from the date of
acquisition. The transaction added $6,712,000 of goodwill and $4,508,000 of core
deposit intangibles to Patriot's balance sheet which will be amortized on an
accelerated basis over a period of 15-20 years.

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 herin 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 $.22 and net
income of $1,304,000 for the three-month period ended March 31, 1999. This
represents an increase of 22% over diluted earnings per share of $.18 and net
income of $959,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 1998. Return on
average equity was 9.44%, for the three-month period ended March 31, 1999
compared to 8.29%, for the three-month period ended March 31, 1998.
NET INTEREST INCOME. Net interest income for the three-month period ended
March 31, 1999 was $5,687,000 compared to $4,196,000 for the same period in
1998. This increase is primarily due to an increase in average balances
associated with the acquisitions of Keystone Financial Leasing Company
(Keystone) and First Lehigh Corporation (First Lehigh) and as Patriot has
continued to grow its assets to more fully utilize its capital. Patriot's net
interest margin (net interest income as a percentage of average interest-earning
assets) was 2.32% for the three-month period ended March 31, 1999 compared to
2.02% for the same period in 1998. The increase in margin is primarily due to
the acquisitions and the growth of Patriot's commercial loan portfolio.
Interest on loans and leases was $10,673,000 for the three-month period
ended March 31, 1999 compared to $8,220,000 for the same period in 1998. The
average balance of loans was $541,505,000 with an average yield of 7.93% for the
three-month period ended March 31, 1999 compared to an average balance of
$430,235,000 with an average yield of 7.67% for the same period in 1998. The
increase in average balance is due to the acquisitions of Keystone and First
Lehigh and as Patriot continues to have strong originations of commercial loans.
The increase in average yield is primarily a result of a greater volume of
higher yielding commerical loans and leases from both acquisitions coupled with
Patriot's increased originations of its own commercial loan.
Interest on Patriot's investment portfolio (investment and
mortgage-backed securities) was $7,185,000 for the three-month period ended
March 31, 1999 compared to $6,849,000 for the same period in 1998. The average
balance of the investment portfolio was $453,395,000 with an average yield of
6.60% for the three-month period ended March 31, 1999 compared to an average
balance of $399,140,000 with an average yield of 7.01% for the same period in
1998. The increase in average balance was primarily due to investments acquired
from First Lehigh. The decrease in average yield is related to decreases in
yields in the market.
Interest on total deposits was $4,921,000 for the three-month period
ended March 31, 1999 compared to $3,961,000 for the same period in 1998. The
average balance of total deposits was $442,156,000 with an average cost of 4.51%
for the three-month period ended March 31, 1999 compared to an average balance
of $320,326,000 with an average cost of 5.01% for the same period in 1998. The
increase in average balance is primarily the result of $93,905,000 of new
deposits from the acquisition of First Lehigh coupled with aggressive marketing
of money market and other transaction-based deposit accounts, and an increase in
Patriot's jumbo deposit program. The decrease in average yield was the result of
a higher percentage of lower costing core deposits due to the addition of
approximately $50,000,000 in core deposits from the First Lehigh acquistion
coupled with general decreases in interest rates.
Interest on borrowings was $7,353,000 for the three-month period ended
March 31, 1999 compared to $6,962,000 for the same period in 1998. The average
balance of borrowings was $549,858,000 with an average cost of 5.42% for the
three-month period ended March 31, 1999 compared to an average balance of
$476,282,000 with a cost of 5.92% for the same period in 1998. The increase in
average balance was due to the use of borrowings to fund the growth in the
balance sheet particularly for the funding of the purchase Keystone Leasing
Company. The decrease in the cost of borrowings was the result of a general
decrease in interest rates.
PROVISION FOR CREDIT LOSSES. The provision for credit losses was $300,000
for the three-month period ended March 31, 1999 compared to $250,000 for the
same period in 1998. The increase in the provision is a reflection of the growth
of Patriot's loan portfolio and the origination of more commercial loans and
leases offset somewhat by Patriot's asset quality and low level of delinquencies
and low level of non-performing assets. At March 31, 1999 Patriot's
non-performing assets were .16% of total assets and all loans 30 days or more
delinquent were .69% of total loans.
14
15
NON-INTEREST INCOME. Total non-interest income was $1,134,000 for the
three-month period ended March 31,1999 compared to $664,000 for the same period
in 1998. The increase in other non-interest incomewas primarily due to an
increased emphasis on recurring non-interest income including loan and deposit
fees, ATM fees, mortgage banking gains, and income from bank owned life
insurance.
NON-INTEREST EXPENSE. Total non-interest expense was $4,729,000 for the
three-month period ended March 31, 1999 compared to $3,353,000 for the same
period in 1998. The increase in non-interest expense was the result of increased
salary and employee benefit costs and occupancy and equipment costs, both
related to the acquisition of Keystone and First Lehigh and Patriot's expanded
operations.
INCOME TAX PROVISION. The income tax provision was $488,000 for the
three-month period ended March 31, 1999 compared to $298,000 for the same period
in 1998. The effective tax rate was 27.23% for 1999 compared to 23.71% for 1998.
The increase is a result of the amortization of non-deductable goodwill offset
somewhat by the purchase of certain tax exempt investments.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
LOAN AND LEASE PORTFOLIO. Patriot's primary portfolio loan products are
commercial loans, small ticket commercial leases, fixed-rate and adjustable-rate
mortgage loans and home equity loans and lines of credit. Patriot also offers
residential construction loans and other consumer loans. At March 31, 1999
Patriot's total loan portfolio was $555,276,000, compared to a total loan
portfolio of $504,993,000 at December 31, 1998. The increase in the loan
portfolio was primarily result of the loan portfolio acquired from First Lehigh
coupled with aggressive marketing of commercial loans. During the three-month
period ended March 31, 1999, Patriot originated total loans and leases of
$53,663,000, compared to total loans and leases originated of $46,370,000 for
the same period in 1998. Commercial loan and lease originations for the
three-month period ended March 31, 1999 were $27,073,000 compared to $11,442,000
for the same period in 1998.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS. Cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 1999
were $22,290,000 compared to $30,487,000 at December 31, 1998. The decrease 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 March 31, 1999 were
$457,766,000 compared to $416,019,000 at December 31, 1998. The increase in
investment and mortgage-backed securities was primarily due to investvents
acquired from First Lehigh Corp..
OTHER ASSETS. Premises and equipment at March 31, 1999 was $14,810,000
compared to $10,259,000 at December 31, 1998. The increase in premises and
equipment is primarily associated with the First Lehigh acquisition. Accrued
interest receivable at March 31, 1999 was $4,595,000 compared to $4,114,000 at
December 31, 1998. The increase is consistent with the growth in the loan and
investment portfolios. Real estate owned at March 31, 1999 was $63,000 compared
to $58,000 at December 31, 1998. During the three-month period ended March 31,
1999 Patriot purchased a bank owned life insurance policy with a cash surrender
value at March 31, 1999 of $15,068,000. Goodwill at March 31, 1999 was
$13,808,000 compared to $2,267,000 at December 31, 1998. The increase in
goodwill is associated with the First Lehigh acquisition. Other assets at March
31, 1999 were $7,000,000 compared to $6,988,000 at December 31, 1998.
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 March 31, 1999 were $473,237,000 compared to
$377,796,000 at December 31, 1998. The increase in balance is primarily
attributed to the acquisition of First Lehigh which added $93,905,000 of
deposits
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 March 31, 1999 were $549,228,000
compared to $549,321,000 at December 31, 1998.
STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY. Total stockholders' equity was $58,124,000 at March
31, 1999 compared to $42,260,000 at
15
16
December 31, 1998. The increase in balance is primarily due to stock issued in
the acquisition of First Lehigh Corp. offset by the purchase of treasury stock.
16
17
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 period ended March 31, 1999, significant liquidity
was provided by maturities and sales of investment and mortgage-backed
securities and the acquisition of First Lehigh. The funds provided by these
activities were invested in new loans, investment and mortgage-backed
securities, the repayment of borrowings and the purchase of trasury stock.
At March 31, 1999, Patriot had outstanding loan commitments of
$41,674,000. 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 March 31, 1999 totaled
$200,822,000. Based upon historical experience, Patriot expects that
substantially all of the maturing certificates of deposit will be retained at
maturity. See "Year 2000 Compliance" for a discussion regarding the possible
impact of Year 2000 issues on Patriot's liquidity.
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 and not less than 4% of risk-adjusted assets, and a
minimum risk-based 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, 1998, 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 March 31, 1999:

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 March 31, 1999, 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
$82,415,000 representing a one-year cumulative "gap," as defined above, as a
percentage of total assets of negative 7.55%.

19
The following table sets forth the amounts of interest-earning assets and
interest-bearing liabilities outstanding at March 31, 1999, 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 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 March 31,
1999, on the basis of contractual maturities, anticipated prepayments, and
scheduled rate adjustments within a Nine-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 investment and mortgage-backed securities 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 possible
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 12% to 36%.
(6) Money market and savings accounts, and NOW accounts are assumed to
have decay rates between 4% and 40% annually and have been
estimated based upon a historic analysis of core deposit trends.
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.
