                         SUMMARIZED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

         (1)   In Management's opinion, the financial information, which
               is unaudited, reflects all adjustments (consisting solely
               of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair
               presentation of the financial information as of and for
               the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1995 and
               June 30, 1994 in conformity with generally accepted
               accounting principles.  These financial statements should
               be read in conjunction with First Fidelity
               Bancorporation's ("First Fidelity" or "the Company"
               herein) 1994 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

         (2)   Primary earnings per share is based on the weighted
               average number of common shares outstanding during each
               period, including the assumed exercise of dilutive stock
               options and warrants, using the treasury stock method.
               Primary earnings per share also reflects provisions for
               dividend requirements on all outstanding shares of the
               Company's preferred stock.

               Fully diluted earnings per share is based on the weighted
               average number of common shares outstanding during each
               period, including the assumed conversion of convertible
               preferred stock into common stock and the assumed
               exercise of dilutive stock options and warrants using the
               treasury stock method.  Fully diluted earnings per share
               also reflects provisions for dividend requirements on
               non-convertible preferred stock.

         (3)   As previously reported, effective January 1, 1995, the
               Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
               Standards ("SFAS") 114, "Accounting by Creditors for
               Impairment of a Loan" and SFAS 118, "Accounting by
               Creditors for Impairment of a Loan--Income Recognition
               and Disclosures".  Under SFAS 114 and SFAS 118, impaired
               loans must be measured based on the present value of
               expected future cash flows, discounted at the loan's
               effective interest rate, or as a practical expedient, at
               the loan's observable market price, or the fair value of
               the collateral if the loan is collateral-dependent.
