     (1)    This  Amendment  No.  3 is  being  filed  because  of the  Company's
            reclassification  of each issued share of its Common  Stock,  $5 par
            value,  into one share of Class A Common Stock, $5 par value,  which
            was  effective  on April  24,  2000  (the  "Conversion"),  and which
            resulted in an increase in the outstanding  shares of Class A Common
            Stock from 9.8 million shares to 22.1 million shares.  This increase
            in  the  outstanding  shares  caused  a  decrease  in  Mr.  Owlett's
            percentage ownership.

     (2)    395,350  shares of Class A Common  Stock are held in certain  Owlett
            family trusts,  and Mr. Owlett shares voting and  dispositive  power
            with  Citizens & Northern Bank with respect to 57,000 of such shares
            of Class A Common  Stock;  and 28,500 shares of Class A Common Stock
            are held by Mr.  Owlett's  wife.  Mr.  Owlett  disclaims  beneficial
            ownership of the shares held by his wife.  This total also  includes
            93,100  shares of Class A Common  Stock held in  certain  non-family
            trusts  for which Mr.  Owlett  serves as sole  trustee;  Mr.  Owlett
            disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares held in these trusts.

     (3)    As of May 31, 2000, PMA Foundation (the  "Foundation")  beneficially
            owned  5,473,450  shares of Class A Common  Stock,  or 24.7% of such
            class. The Board of Trustees of the Foundation has sole voting power
            and  investment  power with  respect to the shares of Class A Common
            Stock of the Company held by the Foundation.  Mr. Owlett is a member
            of the Board of Trustees of the Foundation and disclaims  beneficial
            ownership of the  Foundation's  shares,  which are excluded from the
            shares   reported   above.   As  of  May  31,   2000,   Pennsylvania
            Manufacturers'   Association,   Northeast   Branch   ("NE   Branch")
            beneficially   owned  84,600   shares  of  Class  A  Common   Stock,
            representing  less  than 1% of that  class of  stock.  The  Board of
            Trustees of NE Branch has sole  voting  power and  investment  power
            with  respect to the shares held by the NE Branch.  Mr.  Owlett is a
            member  of  the  Board  of  Trustees  of  NE  Branch  and  disclaims
            beneficial  ownership of NE Branch's shares, which are excluded from
            the shares reported above.

Item 5      Ownership of Five Percent or Less of a Class:

            If this  statement  is being filed to report the fact that as of the
            date  hereof the  reporting  person has ceased to be the  beneficial
            owner of more than five  percent of the class of  securities,  check
            the following.                                                   [X]

Item 6      Ownership of More Than Five Percent on Behalf of Another Person:

            No other  person has the right to receive or the power to direct the
            receipt of  dividends  from,  or the  proceeds  from the sale of the
            shares of Class A Common  Stock  beneficially  owned by Mr.  Owlett,
            except that the right to receive  dividends  with respect to (i) the
            shares held by the Owlett family trusts  described  above,  (ii) the
            shares held by certain other  non-family  trusts of which Mr. Owlett
            serves as the sole trustee  described above and (iii) shares held by
            Mr.  Owlett's wife, is held by such  respective  persons.  Also, Mr.
            Owlett's wife has the power to direct the receipt of dividends from,
            or the  proceeds  from the sale of, the shares held by her.  None of
            these trusts or Mr. Owlett's wife,  however,  beneficially owns more
            than 5% of the Company's Class A Common Stock.

Item 7      Identification  and  Classification of the Subsidiary Which Acquired
