Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
----------------------------------------------------
1.       Basis of Presentation
         ---------------------

     The  consolidated  financial  statements  include  the  accounts of Norwood
Financial Corp. (Company) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Wayne Bank (Bank) and
the Bank's wholly-owned subsidiaries, WCB Realty Corp., Norwood Investment Corp.
and  WTRO  Properties.  All  significant  intercompany  transactions  have  been
eliminated in consolidation.

2.       Estimates
         ---------

     The financial  statements  have been prepared in conformity  with generally
accepted  accounting   principles.   In  preparing  the  financial   statements,
management  is  required  to make  estimates  and  assumptions  that  affect the
reported  amounts of assets and  liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet
and revenues and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.  The financial statements reflect, in the opinion of management,  all
normal, recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position
of the Company.  The operating results for the three month and six month periods
ended June 30, 2000 are not  necessarily  indicative  of the results that may be
expected for the year ended December 31, 2000 or any other interim period.

     These  statements  should  be read in  conjunction  with  the  consolidated
financial  statements and related notes which are  incorporated  by reference in
the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year-ended December 31, 1999.

3.       Earnings Per Share
         ------------------

         Basic  earnings  per  share  represents   income  available  to  common
stockholders divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
during the period.  Diluted earnings per share reflects additional common shares
that would have been  outstanding if dilutive  potential  common shares had been
issued,  as well as any  adjustment to income that would result from the assumed
issuance.  Potential  common  shares  that may be issued by the  Company  relate
solely to outstanding  stock options and are determined using the treasury stock
method.  For the three months and six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, there
was no dilutive effect on earnings per share.

4.       Cash Flow Information
         ---------------------

     For the purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include
cash on hand, amounts due from banks,  interest-bearing  deposits with banks and
federal funds sold.

     Cash  payments  for  interest  for the period  June 30,  2000 and 1999 were
$5,353,000 and $4,435,000  respectively.  Cash payments for income taxes in 2000
were $1,112,000  compared to $383,000 in 1999.  Non-cash  investing activity for
2000 and 1999 included  foreclosed  mortgage  loans  transferred  to real estate
owned and repossession of other assets of $553,000 and $754,000, respectively.

5.       Reclassification of Comparative Amounts
         ---------------------------------------

     Certain  comparative amounts for the prior period have been reclassified to
conform to the current period's  presentation.  Such  reclassifications  did not
affect net income.

6.       Recently Issued Accounting Standards
         ------------------------------------

     In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No.
133,  Accounting for Derivative  Instruments and Hedging  Activities,  which was
amended by Statement No. 137 and  Statement No. 138 and which becomes  effective
for the Company  January 1, 2001.  The adoption of the Statement is not expected
to have a significant impact on the financial condition or results of operations
of the Company.

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

Forward Looking Statements
--------------------------

     The Private  Securities  Litigation Reform Act of 1995 contains safe harbor
provisions regarding forward-looking  statements.  When used in this discussion,
the words  "believes,  "anticipates,"  "contemplates,"  "expects,"  and  similar
expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements
are subject to certain risks and uncertainties  which could cause actual results
to differ materially from those projected. Those risks and uncertainties include
changes in interest  rates,  risks  associated  with the effect of opening a new
branch, the ability to control costs and expenses,  Year 2000 issues and general
economic  conditions.  The Company  undertakes no obligation to publicly release
the results of any revisions to those  forward-looking  statements  which may be
made to reflect events or circumstances  after the date hereof or to reflect the
occurrence of unanticipated events.

Changes in Financial Condition
------------------------------

General
-------

     Total  assets at June 30,  2000 were  $320.5  million,  compared  to $314.8
million at year-end 1999.

Securities
----------

     The fair value of securities  available for sale at June 30, 2000 was $82.7
million,   compared  to  $78.9  million  at  year-end  1999.  The  increase  was
principally due to purchases of short-term  securities and tax-exempt  municipal
issues.  Total  purchases for the period were $9.2 million with  maturities  and
cashflows of $4.8 million.

Loans
-----

     Total  loans  receivable,  which  include  automobile  leases,  were $211.6
million at June 30, 2000  compared to $205.2  million at December 31,  1999,  an
increase of $6.4  million.  The  increase was after $1.5 million of a commercial
loan  participation  sold and  $636,000  of  residential  mortgages  sold in the
secondary market. Indirect lending,  principally in used automobiles,  increased
$6.7  million to total  $51.8  million at June 30,  2000.


     The Company no longer  originates  automobile  leases,  and as a result the
portfolio  declined $5.7 million from December 31, 1999 to $18.3 million at June
30, 2000,  which  includes  residual  value of $14.8  million,  at June 30, 2000
declining  from $17.8 million at year-end.  The Company  liquidates its returned
off-lease  vehicles  through  various  used car dealers and  automobile  auction
centers.  At June 30, 2000 the Company had an inventory of vehicles to liquidate
of $787,000.  Total losses incurred on sales of off-lease  vehicles was $399,000
for the year-to-date.  The Company's reserve for future residual value losses as
classified  in other  liabilities  was $411,000 at June 30, 2000 and compared to
$311,000 at December 31, 1999.

           The allowance for loan losses totaled $3,381,000 at June 30, 2000 and
represented  1.60% of total  loans,  compared to  $3,344,000  at  year-end,  and
$3,326,000 at June 30, 1999. As a result of the decrease in net  charge-offs the
provision  for loan losses for the six months ended June 30, 2000 was  $215,000,
compared to $230,000 for 1999.  Management's  loan review function  assesses the
adequacy

                                       9
<PAGE>

of the allowance for loan losses on a quarterly  basis.  The process  includes a
review of the risks inherent in the loan portfolio.  It includes a credit review
and gives  consideration  to areas of exposure such as  concentration of credit,
economic and  industry  conditions,  trends in  delinquencies,  collections  and
collateral  value coverage.  General reserve  percentages are identified by loan
type and credit grading and allocated  accordingly.  Larger credit exposures are
individually  analyzed.  Management considers the allowance adequate at June 30,
2000 based on the loan mix and level of classifications.  However,  there can be
no  assurance  that the  allowance  for loan  losses  will be  adequate to cover
significant losses, if any, that might be incurred in the future.

           At June 30, 2000,  non-performing  loans totaled  $551,000,  which is
 .26% of total loans decreasing from $657,000, or .32% of total loans at December
31, 1999. The following table sets forth  information  regarding  non-performing
loans and other real estate owned at the date indicated:

Deposits
--------

           Total  deposits  at June 30,  2000 were  $241.9  million  compared to
$243.5  million at December  31,  1999.  The  decrease  was  principally  due to
scheduled maturities of school district time deposits which declined $12 million
from December 31, 1999. This decrease was partially offset by seasonal  increase
in transaction accounts for summer camps and property owners associations.  Core
deposits,  which  excludes time deposits in  denominations  of $100,000 or more,
totaled  $223.7 million at June 30, 2000 compared to $211.1 million at year-end.
In addition, the Company had $7.6 million of commercial cash management accounts
included in short-term  borrowings,  which  represents  excess funds invested in
overnight securities. The Company considers these balances as core funding.

Stockholders' Equity and Capital Ratios
---------------------------------------

     At June 30,2000,  total  stockholders'  equity  totaled $27.9  million,  an
increase of $1.3 million from year-end 1999.  The net increase in  stockholders'
equity was primarily due to $1,812,000 in net income,  that was partially offset
by $283,000 of dividend payments and $369,000 of other comprehensive loss due to
a decline in market value of the available for sale  securities  (primarily  the
mortgage-backed  securities  portfolio).  The  decrease  in market  value of the
investment  securities  available  for sale will not  affect the  Company's  net
income unless the securities are sold. The Company currently plans to hold these
securities  until  maturity  or until  the  market  values  of these  securities
increase.  Accordingly,  the  Company  does  not  expect,  though  there  is  no
assurance,  that the  investment in these  securities  will affect net income in
future periods. A comparison of the Company's capital ratios is as follows:

                                   June 30, 2000          December 31, 1999
                                   -------------          -----------------
Tier 1 Capital
    (To average assets)                 9.00%                   9.15%
Tier 1 Capital
    (To risk-weighted assets)          12.65%                  11.98%
Total Capital
    (To risk-weighted assets)          14.11%                  13.50%

     The minimum capital requirements  imposed by the FDIC for leverage,  Tier 1
and Total  Capital  are 4%, 4% and 8%,  respectively.  The  Company  has similar
capital  requirements  imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal  Reserve
System (FRB). The Bank is also subject to more stringent Pennsylvania Department
of  Banking  (PDB)   guidelines.   The  Bank's  capital  ratios  do  not  differ
significantly  from the  Company's  ratios.  Although not adopted in  regulation
form, the PDB utilizes  capital  standards  requiring a minimum of 6.5% leverage
capital and 10% total  capital.  The Company and the Bank were in  compliance in
FRB, FDIC and PDB capital requirements at June 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999.

Comparison of Operating  Results for Six Months Ended June 30, 2000 and June 30,
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1999
----

General
-------

     For the six months  ended June 30, 2000 net income  totaled  $1,812,000  or
$1.09 per share (basic and diluted)  compared to  $1,662,000,  or $.98 per share
(basic and diluted) earned for the 1999 period.  The resulting return on average
equity and average assets for six months 2000 were 13.42% and 1.15% respectively
compared to 11.92% and 1.17% respectively for six months of 1999.

Net Interest Income
-------------------

     Net interest income on a fully taxable  equivalent  basis (fte) for the six
months  ending June 30, 2000 was  $6,595,000  compared to $5,994,000 in 1999, an
increase of $601,000 or 10.0%.  The  resultant  fte net interest  spread and net
interest margin for 2000 was 3.86% and 4.44% respectively, compared to 3.80% and
4.46% in 1999.

     Interest  income  (fte) for the six  months  ended  June 30,  2000  totaled
$11,848,000,  increasing 15.0% from $10,300,000 in 1999. The increase was due to
$28.2 million  growth in average  earning assets and the yield on earning assets
of 7.98%, improving 31 basis points from 7.67% in 1999.

     Securities available for sale averaged $80.5 million for six months of 2000
compared to $66.7 million in 1999 with increase principally due to higher levels
of mortgage backed  securities.  The yield also increased to 6.67% from 6.07% in
1999  principally due to the generally  higher interest rate  environment  which
began in the third  quarter of 1999.  Average  loans for the six month period in
2000 were $208.2  million with income of $8,829,000  and yield of 8.48% compared
to $191.6  million,  $7,901,000 and 8.25%  respectively in 1999. The increase in
loan yield was  partially  due to higher prime rate of interest of 9.50% at June
30, 2000 compared to 7.75% in 1999.

     Total  interest  expense  for  the six  months  ended  June  30,  2000  was
$5,253,000  increasing  $947,000 from  $4,306,000 in 1999. The resultant cost of
funds  was  4.13% in 2000 and  3.86% in 1999,  a 27 basis  point  increase.  The
increase was principally due to a higher level of other  borrowings,  consisting
of FHLB  advances , $33.1  million at 5.91% in 2000 compared to $10.2 million at
4.80% in 1999. In addition,  the cost of time  deposits  increased to 5.25% from
5.17% in 1999. The cost of transaction and savings products has not increased to
the same degree as time deposits and borrowings.

Other Income
------------

     Other income,  excluding net realized gains on sales of securities  totaled
$1,187,000  for the six months end June 30,  2000,  an  increase  of $345,000 or
40.1% over  $842,000  in the same  period in 1999.  A loan  promotion  generated
$49,000 in revenue in 2000. The Bank through its subsidiary,  Norwood Investment
Corp.  had revenue of $108,000 on  commissions  from sales of annuities,  mutual
funds and  discount  brokerage  compared  to  $49,000 in 1999.  Earnings  on the
increase  in cash  surrender  of  value  of $3.2  million  of  Bank  owned  life
insurance, purchased in the fourth quarter of 1999, was $87,000, the proceeds of
which are used to fund employee  benefit  plans.  For the six month period,  fee
income represents 15.3% of total revenue.

                                       14

Other Expense
-------------

     Other  expenses  totaled  $4,889,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2000
compared to $4,126,000 in 1999, an increase of $760,000. The increase was due in
part to  additional  losses and costs of  disposing  of  vehicles  from the auto
leasing  portfolio of $522,000 in 2000  increasing  from  $172,000 in 1999.  The
Stroud Mall Branch,  opened in June 1999,  had costs of $159,000  which includes
salaries,  benefits and occupancy  costs  compared to $15,000 in the prior year.
The Company also incurred additional costs of $52,000 related to improvements in
local and wide area network communications. Other expense was favorably impacted
by a gain on sale of property  originally  purchased for expansion but no longer
needed, of $113,000.


Income Tax Expense
------------------

     Income tax expense  totaled  $691,000  for an  effective  tax rate of 27.6%
compared  to  $721,000  and  30.3%  for the 1999  period.  The  decrease  in the
effective  rate  is due  to  higher  levels  of  interest  income  on  municipal
securities and increase in the cash surrender value of bank owned life insurance
not subject to Federal income tax.


Comparison  of  operating  results for the three  months ended June 30, 2000 and
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
June 30, 1999
-------------

General
-------

     For the three  months  ended June 30, 2000 net income was  $924,000 or $.56
per share (basic and diluted)  compared to $848,000 or $.50 per share (basic and
diluted)  earned in the second quarter of 1999. The resultant  return on average
equity (ROE) was 13.43% with a return on average  assets (ROA) of 1.16% compared
to an ROE of 12.20% and ROA of 1.16% for the second quarter of 1999.

Net Interest Income
-------------------

     Net  interest  income (fte) for the second  quarter of 2000 was  $3,386,000
with a net interest spread of 3.84% and net interest margin of 4.48% compared to
$3,094,000,  3.72% and 4.35%, respectively in 1999.

     The increase in net interest  income was  principally  due to $17.5 million
growth in earning  assets and an increase in yield.  The yield on earning assets
for the three months ended June 30, 2000 was 7.99%,  improving from 7.45% in the
1999  period.  This was  partially  offset  by rising  cost of  interest-bearing
liabilities, 4.15% in 2000 from 3.73% in 1999.

     Total  interest  income  for the  three  months  ending  June 30,  2000 was
$6,041,000,  an increase of $739,000 from $5,302,000 in 1999.  Interest  expense
for the period in 2000 was $2,655,000, increasing from $2,208,000 in 1999.

Other Income
------------

     Other  income,   excluding  net  realized  gains  on  sales  of  securities
transactions  totaled  $610,000  for the  second  quarter of 2000,  compared  to
$400,000 for the same period in 1999.  The increase was due to higher  levels of
deposit service charge income,  $70,000 as a result of a new officer and account
analysis income.  Income from fiduciary  activities increased $28,000 to $87,000
principally due to

                                       15
<PAGE>

estate  settlement  fees.  Commissions  on sales of annuities,  mutual funds and
discount brokerage services was $62,000 in the second quarter of 2000,  compared
to $18,000 in 1999,  as a result of increased  volume and higher  pay-out  ratio
from 12.3% in 1999.

Other Expenses
--------------

     Other  expenses  totaled   $2,519,000  for  the  second  quarter  of  2000,
increasing,  from $2,133,000 in 1999. The increase was due in part to additional
losses and costs of disposing  of vehicles  from the  auto-leasing  portfolio of
$327,000 included in other expense, compared to $90,000 in 1999. The Stroud Mall
branch, opened in June 1999, had operating costs of $74,000 in 2000, and $15,000
in 1999.  Other expenses were  favorably  impacted by a gain on sale of property
originally held for expansion, but no longer needed, of $113,000.

Income Tax Expense
------------------

     Income tax expense  totaled  $347,000 for an effective tax rate of 27.3% in
2000  decreasing  from $369,000 and an effective tax rate of 30.3% in 1999.  The
decrease in the  effective  rate is due to higher  levels of income on municipal
securities and increase in the cash surrender value on bank owned life insurance
not subject to Federal income tax.
