Note 4  - Segment Reporting

For the purposes of reporting our results, we divide our business activities
into two segments. Our banking and advisory fee-based segments comprise the
services we provide to customers. Previously we also reported a funds management
segment, which included activities not directly customer-related, but which were
undertaken primarily for the Corporation's general purposes. Those activities
included management of the investment portfolio, funding and interest rate risk
management. Those activities now are reflected in the banking and advisory
fee-based segments and the 2000 amounts have been restated to reflect this
change.

The banking and advisory fee-based segments are managed separately but have
overlapping markets, customers and systems. The Corporation's strategy to
develop full relationships across a broad product array allow these two segments
to market separate products and services to a common base of customers.

The banking segment includes lending, deposit-taking and branch banking in our
primary markets of Delaware, Pennsylvania and Maryland, along with institutional
deposit-taking on a national basis. Lending activities include commercial loans,
commercial and residential mortgages and construction and consumer loans.
Deposit products include demand checking, certificates of deposit, negotiable
order of withdrawal accounts and various savings and money market accounts.

The advisory fee-based segment includes personal trust, asset management, mutual
fund, corporate trust and employee benefit plan services to individuals and
corporations in the United States and some 50 other countries. Personal trust
activities include trust services, private banking, estate settlement and tax
preparation. Asset management activities include a broad range of portfolio
management services, including fixed-income, short-term cash management and
contributions resulting from affiliations with Cramer Rosenthal McGlynn, LLC and
Roxbury Capital Management, LLC. Corporate trust activities include custody
services, trusteeships for capital leases, collateralized securities, corporate
restructurings and bankruptcies.

The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the
summary of significant accounting policies. The Corporation evaluates
performance based on profit or loss from operations before


                                       11
   12
income taxes and without including nonrecurring gains and losses. The
Corporation generally records intersegment sales and transfers as if the sales
or transfers were to third parties (i.e., at current market prices). Profit or
loss from infrequent events such as the sale of a business are reported
separately for each segment.

Financial data by segment for March 31, 2001 vs March 31, 2000 is as follows:

Note 5 - Accounting Pronouncements

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 133,
Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. This Statement
requires the Corporation to recognize all derivatives on its the balance sheet
at fair value. Derivatives that are not hedges must be adjusted to fair value
through income. If the derivative is a hedge, depending on the nature of the
hedge, changes in the fair value of the derivative are either offset against the
change in fair value of assets, liabilities or firm commitments through earnings
or recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized
in earnings. The ineffective portion of a derivative's change in fair value will
be immediately recognized in earnings. The adoption of Statement No. 133 on
January 1, 2001 resulted in the cumulative effect of the accounting change of
$1.1 million after-tax being recognized as income in the Consolidated Statements
of Income.


Note 6 - Derivative and Hedging Activities

The Corporation enters into interest rate swap and interest rate floor contracts
in managing interest rate risk to reduce the impact of fluctuations in interest
rates of identifiable asset categories, principally floating-rate commercial
loans and commercial mortgage loans.

Swaps are contracts to exchange, at specified intervals, the difference between
fixed- and floating-rate interest amounts computed on contractual notional
principal amounts. The Corporation has entered into swaps in which it pays a
fixed rate and it receives a floating rate. The net interest differential
associated with the swaps is reported in "interest and fees on loans" in the
Consolidated Statements of Income. The net gains or losses resulting from the
changes in fair value of the swaps are recorded to "other operating income" in
the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Floors are contracts which generate interest payments to the Corporation based
on the difference between the floating-rate index and a predetermined strike
rate of the specific floor when the index is below the strike rate. When the
index is equal to or above the strike rate, no payments are made or received by
the Corporation. The Corporation enters into these contracts to hedge against
the impact of adverse market interest rate changes on the cash flows of floating
rate commercial loans. Hedge effectiveness is assessed by comparing the changes
in intrinsic value of the interest rate floors with the changes in the variable
interest rates for the commercial loans.

Changes in the fair value of the floors attributed to the change in "time value"
are excluded in assessing the hedge's effectiveness and are recorded to "other
operating income" in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Changes in the fair
value that are determined to be ineffective are also recorded to "other
operating income" in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The effective
portion of the change in fair value is recorded in "other comprehensive income"
in the Consolidated Statements of Condition.

The Corporation does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for
trading purposes.

Other operating income for the period ending March 31, 2001 includes net gains
of $646,239 resulting from the change in fair value of the floors that was
excluded in assessing hedge effectiveness. Net gains or losses resulting from
the cash flow hedges' ineffectiveness were immaterial. The amounts recorded to
"other comprehensive income" are subsequently reclassified to "interest and fees
on loans" in the Consolidated Statements of Income as a yield adjustment in the
same period in which the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. During
the year ended December 31, 2001, approximately $290,000 of gains in
"accumulated other comprehensive income" are expected to be reclassified to
"interest and fees on loans" as a yield adjustment to the hedged loans. As of
March 31, 2001, the maximum length of time over which the Corporation is hedging
its exposure to the variability in future cash flows associated with floating
rate commercial loans is 52 months.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations

Summary

Net income for the first quarter of 2001 was $31.2 million, or $.95 per share on
a diluted basis and included $1.1 million, or $.03 per share, of income net of
tax associated with SFAS No. 133. This was a 2% increase over the $30.6 million,
or $.94 per share on a diluted basis, reported for the first quarter of 2000.

Total revenues for the first quarter of 2001 reached $118.9 million, a 3%
increase over the $115.9 million reported for the first quarter of 2000.

Net interest income for the first quarter of 2001 was $62.2 million, a 2%
decrease from the $63.7 million reported for the first quarter of last year.

The quarterly provision for loan losses of $5.25 million was 5% lower than the
$5.5 million for the first quarter of 2000. The reserve for loan losses at
quarter-end was $77.9 million, $1.1 million, or 1.5%, above the $76.7 million
reported at December 31, 2000.

Noninterest income for the first quarter of 2001 was $56.7 million, a 9%
increase over the $52.2 million reported for the same quarter of last year.

Operating expenses for the first quarter of 2001 were $68.1 million, a 5%
increase above the $64.6 million reported for the first quarter of last year.

Return on assets for the three months ended March 31, 2001, on an annualized
basis, was 1.75%, above the 1.74% reported for the corresponding period a year
ago. Return on stockholders' equity, also on an annualized basis, was 20.99%,
compared with 24.57% for the first three months of 2000.

Statement of Condition

Total assets at March 31, 2001 were $7.24 billion, $79.2 million under the $7.32
billion reported at December 31, 2000. Total earning assets decreased $64.9
million over that period, to $6.63 billion, as decreases due to calls and
maturities occurred in both the investment and loan portfolios.

While loan balances increased $203.5 million, or 4%, over first quarter 2000
levels, balances were down from their year-end 2000 levels. At March 31, 2001,
total loans were $5.17 billion, a decrease of $17.5 million, or .3%, from the
December 31, 2000 level of $5.19 billion. Contributing to this decrease were
consumer loans, which declined $32.0 million, or 2.5%, to $1.25 billion,
commercial loans, which declined $3.5 million, or .2%, to $1.62 billion, and
residential mortgage loans, which declined $5.5 million, or .6%, to $920.4
million. Partially offsetting these decreases were increased real estate
construction loans, up $17.7 million, or 4.8%, to $390.4 million and commercial
mortgage loans, up $6.6 million, or .7%, to $997.0 million. Year-over-year loan
growth continued in both Pennsylvania and Delaware, reflecting the strength of
the Delaware Valley's diversified economy and new business momentum in the
Philadelphia region.

The investment portfolio at March 31, 2001 was $1.41 billion, a decrease of
$52.1 million, or 4%, from the December 31, 2000 level of $1.46 billion.
Contributing to this decrease were U.S. Treasury and government agency
securities, which decreased $45.6 million, or 5%, to $844.3 million and
preferred


                                       15
   16
stocks, which decreased $9.1 million, or 9%, to $91.4 million, partially offset
by asset-backed and other securities, which increased $3.8 million, or 1%, to
$455.8 million.

Interest-bearing liabilities at quarter-end were $5.52 billion, $125.5 million,
or 2%, below the year-end 2000 level of $5.65 billion. Total deposits during the
first three months of 2001 increased $177.6 million, or 3%, while short-term
borrowings decreased $290.6 million, or 25%. An increase of $267.0 million, or
16%, in certificates of deposit $100,000 and over offset decreases in
interest-bearing demand account balances, certificates of deposit under $100,000
and other short-term borrowings. Overnight Federal funds purchased and
securities sold under agreements to repurchase decreased $316.6 million, or 29%,
from the prior year-end level, to $782.8 million.

Shareholders' equity at March 31, 2001 was $623.8 million, $31.9 million, or 5%,
over the 2000 year-end level. Earnings of $31.2 million, an $11.8 million change
in unrealized gains/(losses) net of tax for the investment portfolio and
derivative floor contracts and $4.5 million in new stock issued during the first
quarter were offset, in part, with $14.6 million in cash dividends and the
repurchase of $1 million of treasury stock.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income for the first quarter of 2001 on a fully tax-equivalent
("FTE") basis was $63.9 million. This was a $1.7 million, or 3%, decrease from
the $65.6 million reported for the first quarter of 2000.

Interest income (FTE) for the first quarter of 2001 increased $1.5 million, or
1%, to $129.4 million from $127.9 million for the first quarter of 2000.
Contributing to this improvement was a $76.6 million increase in the average
level of earning assets, which added $2.5 million to interest revenues. This was
offset in part by the lower interest rate environment, which lowered interest
revenues for the quarter by $974,000. The average rate earned on the
Corporation's earning assets during the first quarter of 2001 increased 12 basis
points, from 7.70% to 7.82%.

Interest expense for the quarter also increased, rising $3.2 million, or 5%, to
$65.6 million. Total interest-bearing liabilities, on average, were virtually
unchanged from their $5.61 billion level of a year ago. The mixture of these
liabilities, however, did change, as greater use of institutional brokered
certificates of deposit supplemented declines in core deposits and overnight
Federal funds purchased. This change in funding mix contributed an additional
$1.3 million to interest expense, while the higher rate environment added
another $1.9 million to interest expense. The average rate the Corporation paid
for its funds during the quarter was 4.69%, compared to 4.43% for the first
quarter of 2000.

The Corporation's net interest margin for the quarter was 3.85%, nine basis
points below the 3.94% reported for the first quarter of a year ago. This
decline was driven, in part, by a higher percentage of the Corporation's assets
repricing faster than its liabilities. The following two tables present
comparative net interest income data and a rate-volume analysis of changes in
net interest income for the first quarters of 2001 and 2000, respectively.

Non-interest Revenues and Operating Expenses

Non-interest revenues for the first quarter of 2001 were $56.7 million, an
increase of $4.5 million, or 9%, over those for the first quarter of a year ago,
due primarily to higher advisory fees.

Total advisory fees for the first quarter of 2001 increased to $44.9 million,
$2.9 million, or 7%, over those for the first quarter of 2000. These fees
represented 48% of the Corporation's operating revenues for the quarter,
compared to 45% for the first quarter of 2000. Private client advisory fees for
the first quarter rose $1.1 million, or 4%, to $26.4 million. Sales of private
client advisory services were strong, particularly in New York, and totaled $3.3
million for the quarter on an annualized basis, up 5% from the first quarter of
2000. This growth occurred notwithstanding declines in the market value of
securities held for clients, as benchmarked by the three market indices over
both the 3-month and 12-month periods ended March 31, 2001. The Dow Jones index
was down 8.1% for the year and 8% for the quarter; the S&P 500 declined 21.7%
for the year and 11.9% for the quarter, and the Nasdaq composite index dropped
59.7% for the year and 25.5% for the quarter. Approximately 70% of the
Corporation's private client advisory fees are tied to market valuations. Fees
from corporate financial services for the first quarter declined $49,000, or
 .4%, to $12.3 million. Fees from nexus and holding company services posted
double digit increases and demand for capital markets trust services remained
strong. Levels of new business development were comparable to those for the
first quarter of 2000, but were muted by a decrease in custody and transaction
fees related to market valuations and a decrease in market activity.
Approximately 25% of corporate financial services fees are tied to asset
valuations. Fees from affiliated asset managers rose $1.9 million, or 43%, to
$6.2 million, due primarily to larger ownership positions in Cramer Rosenthal
McGlynn and Roxbury Capital Management since March 31, 2000. The increase in
goodwill amortization expense was also attributable to these increases in
ownership. Assets under management with these affiliates at March 31, 2001 were
$12.6 billion. This was down from $16.2 billion at March 31, 2000 and $14.7
billion at December 31, 2000.

Other operating income for first quarter was $4.6 million. This was an increase
of $2.6 million, or 136%, over the $1.9 million reported for the first quarter
of 2000. The Corporation recorded a non-operating gain of $1.6 million for asset
dispositions in the first quarter of 2001.

Operating expenses for the quarter increased $3.5 million, or 5%, to $68.1
million. Total personnel expenses for the quarter increased $1.2 million, or 3%,
over those for the first quarter of 2000, to $42.9 million. Contributing to this
increase were higher compensation costs, as salaries were up 1.5% over year-ago
levels, and incentive payments, which were up $1.7 million, reflecting strong
sales results for the prior year. Partially offsetting these increases was a
lower profit-sharing bonus accrual, down $1.1 million from its year-ago level,
as the rate of net income growth and a lower return on equity dropped the bonus
accrual percentage. Occupancy and furniture and equipment expenses were 4% and
2% higher, respectively, and reflect costs associated with the Corporation's
expansion markets. Other operating expense increased $1.9 million, or 19%, to
$12.2 million as higher expenses were incurred in advertising, debit and credit
card expense, staff training expense for asset allocation and armored car
expense.

Income tax expense for the first quarter of 2001 increased $853,000, or 6%, to
$16.1 million. The Corporation's effective tax rate for the first quarter of
2001 was 34.01%, compared to 33.23% for the first quarter of 2000. This was due
in part to lower levels of tax-exempt income and higher levels of state income
taxes.


Liquidity

A financial institution's liquidity represents its ability to meet, in a timely
manner, cash flow requirements that may arise. Liquidity of the asset side of
the balance sheet is provided by the maturity and


                                       21
   22
marketability of loans, money market assets and investments. Liquidity of the
liability side of the balance sheet is usually provided through deposits.

The Corporation's quarter-end liquidity ratio, calculated in accordance with
regulatory requirements of the FDIC, was 18.79%. Management believes that
maturities of the Corporation's investment securities, other readily marketable
assets and external sources of funds offer more than adequate liquidity to meet
any cash flow requirements that may arise. Sources of funds have historically
consisted of deposits, amortization and prepayments of outstanding loans,
maturities of investment securities, borrowings and interest income. Management
monitors the Corporation's existing and projected liquidity requirements on an
ongoing basis, and implements appropriate strategies when deemed necessary.

Asset Quality and Loan Loss Provision

The Corporation's provision for loan losses for the first quarter of 2001 was
$5.25 million, $250,000, or 4.5%, lower than the amount provided for in the
first quarter of 2000. The reserve for loan losses at March 31, 2001 was $77.9
million, an increase of $1.1 million, or 1%, over the $76.7 million reported at
December 31, 2000. The reserve as a percentage of total period-end loans
outstanding was 1.51%, up from the year-end level of 1.48%. Net chargeoffs for
the first quarter of 2001 were $4.1 million, a decrease of $4.7 million, or 53%,
from those for the first quarter of 2000.

Nonaccruing loans at March 31, 2001 were $40.0 million, a decrease of $146,000,
or .4%, from the $40.2 million reported at December 31, 2000. Other real estate
owned, which is reported as a component of other assets in the Consolidated
Statements of Condition, consists of assets that have been acquired through
foreclosure. These assets are recorded on the books of the Corporation at the
lower of their cost or the estimated fair value less cost to sell, adjusted
periodically based upon current appraisals. Other real estate owned at March 31,
2001 was $578,000, a decrease of $139,000, or 19%, from the December 31, 2000
level of $717,000. Nonperforming assets (other real estate owned plus nonaccrual
loans) at March 31, 2001 totaled $40.6 million, or .79% of period-end loans
outstanding. This was a decrease of $285,000, or .7%, from the $40.9 million, or
 .79% of period-end loans outstanding, reported at December 31, 2000. As a result
of the Corporation's ongoing monitoring of its loan portfolio, at March 31,
2001, approximately $40.1 million of its loans were identified as either
currently performing in accordance with their terms or which are less than 90
days past due but for which, in management's opinion, serious doubt exists as to
the borrowers' ability to continue to repay their loans in full on a timely
basis. This compares with $44.8 million reported at December 31, 2000.

The Corporation's loan loss reserve methodology is sound and has provided a high
degree of reserve adequacy over an extended period of time. The Corporation's
reserve is reflective of estimated credit losses for specifically identified
loans, as well as estimated probable losses inherent in the remainder of the
portfolio. The methodology includes an analysis of lending business conditions
and their effect on estimated credit losses, which is the basis for an
unallocated portion of the reserve assessment. These business conditions include
potential shifts in current market conditions, loan growth in new markets, the
average loan size and complexity within the portfolio, trends in delinquent
payment performance, the direction of risk rating migration within the
portfolio, the level of serious doubt loans, the impact of litigation and trends
in bankruptcy filings. Management has established a range of between 5% and 20%
as an acceptable percentage of the unallocated reserve as a proportion of the
total reserve. This range is based on historic unallocated levels in conjunction
the assessment of the business conditions mentioned above. The unallocated and
allocated portions of the reserve are reassessed quarterly. At March 31, 2001,
approximately $6.4 million, or 8%, of the reserve for loan losses was
unallocated. This compares with $5.1 million, or 7%, of the reserve that was
classified as unallocated at year-end 2000. The first quarter loan loss
provision adequately supported loan growth and a reduced level of net chargeoffs
for the period. Delinquency trends and serious doubt levels both declined from
prior year levels. The percentage of loans carrying an internal "pass" rating
remained high, at 95%. As a result, management believes that the Corporation's
reserve for loan losses is adequate based upon currently available information.

Capital Resources

A strong capital position provides a margin of safety for both depositors and
stockholders, enables a financial institution to take advantage of profitable
opportunities and provides for future growth. The Corporation's total risk-based
capital ratio at the end of the first quarter of 2001 was 11.22%, and its core
(Tier 1) leveraged capital ratio was 6.16%. The corresponding ratios at year-end
2000 were 10.80% and 5.87%, respectively. Both of these ratios are above the
current regulatory minimums of 8.00% and 4.00%, respectively.

Management monitors the Corporation's capital position and will make adjustments
as needed to insure that the capital base will satisfy existing and impending
regulatory requirements, as well as meet appropriate standards of safety and
provide for future growth.


Other Information

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Net interest income is an important determinant of the Corporation's financial
performance. Through interest rate sensitivity management, the Corporation seeks
to maximize the growth of net interest income on a consistent basis by
minimizing the effects of fluctuations associated with changing market interest
rates.

The Corporation employs simulation models to measure the effect of variations in
interest rates on net interest income. The composition of assets, liabilities
and off-balance-sheet instruments and their respective repricing and maturity
characteristics, as well as certain external factors such as the level of market
interest rates, are evaluated in assessing the Corporation's exposure to changes
in interest rates.

Net interest income is projected using multiple interest rate scenarios. The
results are compared to net interest income projected using stable interest
rates. The Corporation's model employs interest rate scenarios in which interest
rates gradually move up or down 250 basis points. The simulation model projects,
as of March 31, 2001, that a gradual 250-basis-point increase in market interest
rates would increase net interest income by 1.25% over a one-year period. If
interest rates were to gradually decrease

250 basis points, the simulation model projects, as of March 31, 2001, that net
interest income would decrease 4.5% over a one-year period. The Corporation's
policy limits the permitted reduction in projected net interest income to 10%
over a one-year period given a change in interest rates.

The preceding paragraph contains certain forward-looking statements regarding
the anticipated effects on the Corporation's net interest income resulting from
hypothetical changes in market interest rates. The assumptions that the
Corporation uses regarding the effects of changes in interest rates on the
adjustment of retail deposit rates and the balances of residential mortgages,
asset-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations ("CMOs") play a
significant role in the results the simulation model projects. The adjustment
paths are not assumed to be symmetrical.

The Corporation's model employs assumptions that reflect the historical
adjustment paths of the Corporation's retail deposit rates to changes in the
level of market interest rates. In addition, some of the Corporation's retail
deposit rates reach historic lows within the 250-basis-point decline scenario.
The Corporation's model freezes the rates for these deposit products when they
equal their historic lows. These model assumptions (asymmetrical adjustments and
rate floors based on new historic lows) limit the extent to which deposit rates
are expected to adjust in a declining rate scenario and contribute to the
projected simulation results.

Changes in residential mortgage loan, CMO and asset-backed security balances are
driven by their contractual obligations and prepayments. While contractual
obligations are not typically influenced by changes in interest rates,
prepayment activity (including refinancing) can shift dramatically with changes
in interest rates. The Corporation's prepayment assumptions are based on
industry estimates for loans with similar coupons and remaining maturities. A
250-basis-point decline in interest rates can lead to a significant increase in
prepayments when available reinvestment opportunities of similar risk carry
lower returns. Conversely, should interest rates rise 250 basis points, the same
balances are not likely to prepay at the same rate, but instead are likely to
lengthen in effective maturity as debtors elect not to prepay and to retain
these now below-market credit terms for as long as possible. Holders of
mortgages, asset-backed securities and CMOs are left with returns below those
prevailing in the current environment. This prepayment-driven effect also
contributes to the projected simulation results.

During the first quarter of 2001, the Corporation sold certain fixed-rate
residential mortgage loans into the secondary market. The primary goal of this
program is to reduce the risk that the average duration of these fixed-rate
residential mortgage loans would extend well beyond the duration that was
anticipated at origination, as frequently occurs during periods of rising
interest rates. Mortgage loans sold during the first quarter of 2001 totaled
$11.0 million.

Management reviews the Corporation's rate sensitivity regularly, and may employ
a variety of strategies as needed to adjust that sensitivity. These include
changing the relative proportions of fixed-rate and floating-rate assets and
liabilities, maximizing the number of funding sources and asset securitizations,
as well as utilizing derivative contracts such as interest rate swaps and
interest rate floors.

The Corporation has entered into swaps in which it pays a fixed rate and it
receives a floating rate. The net interest differential associated with the
swaps is recorded to "interest and fees on loans" in the Consolidated Statements
of Income. The net gains or losses resulting from the changes in fair value of
the swaps are recorded to "other operating income" in the Consolidated
Statements of Income. At March 31, 2001, the Corporation was committed to
interest rate swaps with a total notional amount of $14.8 million, compared to a
total notional amount of $10.2 million at year-end 2000. The swaps have
remaining maturities of between 11 and 63 months, with a weighted average
maturity of 39 months.

The Corporation entered into floors to hedge against the impact of adverse
market interest rate changes on the cash flows of floating-rate commercial
loans. Changes in the intrinsic value of the contracts are expected to be highly
effective in offsetting changes in cash flows attributable to fluctuations in
market interest rates below the strike price of the floors. Changes in the fair
value of the floors attributed to the

change in "time value" are excluded in assessing hedge effectiveness and are
recorded to "other operating income" in the Consolidated Statements of Income.
Changes in the fair value that are determined to be ineffective are also
recorded to "other operating income" in the Consolidated Statements of Income.
The effective portion of the change in fair value is recorded in "other
comprehensive income" in the Consolidated Statements of Condition. Amounts in
"accumulated other comprehensive income" are subsequently reclassified to
"interest and fees on loans" in the Consolidated Statements of Income in the
same period in which the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. When
the floors are terminated or sold, net gains and/or losses remaining in
"accumulated other comprehensive income" will be amortized over the remaining
lives of the floors and recorded to "interest and fees on loans" in the
Consolidated Statements of Income. At March 31, 2001, the Corporation was
committed to interest rate floors with a total notional amount of $175 million,
the same amount to which it was committed at year-end 2000. The floors have
remaining maturities of between 12 and 52 months, with a weighted average
maturity of 35 months.
