                             REQUIRED INFORMATION

            Attached hereto as Exhibit "A" is the audited statement of financial
condition (i.e., balance sheet) as of the end of the latest two fiscal years, 
June 30, 1996 and 1995, and the related statements of participants' transactions
for the years ended June 30, 1996, 1995 and 1994, of the Dauphin Deposit 
Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "Plan").

            Under the Plan, an individual statement savings account is 
established and maintained for each participating employee at the Corporation's 
banking subsidiary, Dauphin Deposit Bank and Trust Company, Harrisburg, 
Pennsylvania. Eligible employees may elect to have from 2-10% of their base pay,
as defined, withheld for deposit into the statement savings account. No
contributions are made by the Corporation or its subsidiaries. A participant's
statement savings account is credited with interest at the regular statement
savings account rate.

<PAGE>
 
            Unless a participating employee gives the Corporation written notice
prior to the exercise date of an offering that he or she wishes to withdraw from
such offering, his or her option to purchase shares of Corporation common stock 
will be automatically exercised for him or her on the exercise date of the 
offering and he or she will be then deemed to have exercised his or her option 
to purchase the largest number of shares which the balance in his or her account
at the time will purchase at the applicable option price.  As promptly as 
practicable after the termination of each offering, the Corporation will deliver
to each participant the shares purchased upon the exercise of his or her option.

            The payroll deposits held in individual statement savings accounts 
pursuant to the Plan are not invested in securities or other obligations of the 
Corporation or other affiliated or unaffiliated issuers.  A participant may at 
any time deposit additional sums to or withdraw sums from his or her account, 
and no amounts deposited in such accounts may be used by the Corporation for any
corporate purpose.  Plan participants have no interest in Corporation shares 
covered by their options until such options have been exercised.  Accordingly, 
no securities or other obligations are held by the Plan or Plan participants 
during the yearly offering period.

            The Consent of Independent Auditors is attached hereto as Exhibit 
"B".

Independent Auditors' Report



The Employee Stock Purchase Plan
    Committee of Dauphin Deposit Corporation:

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of the Dauphin Deposit Employee
Stock Purchase Plan as of June 30, 1996 and 1995, and the related statements of
participants' transactions and balances for each of the years in the three-year
period ended June 30, 1996. These financial statements are the responsibility of
the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain 
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by 
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. 
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in 
all material respects, the financial position of the Plan as of June 30, 1996 
and 1995, and the participants' transactions and balances for each of the years 
in the three-year period ended June 30, 1996 in conformity with generally 
accepted accounting principles.

DAUPHIN DEPOSIT EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

(1)  Description of Plan

     The following summary of the principal plan provisions of the Dauphin 
     Deposit Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the Plan) is provided for general 
     information only. Participants should refer to the Plan agreement for more 
     complete information.

     General

     The purpose of the Dauphin Deposit Employee Stock Purchase Plan is to
     provide employees of Dauphin Deposit Corporation (the Corporation) and its
     subsidiary companies with an opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest
     in the Corporation through the purchase of stock of the Corporation. The
     Plan year runs from July 1 through June 30.

     Eligibility
  
     The Plan is open to full-time employees of the Corporation or its
     subsidiaries who have completed six months of employment and part-time
     employees who have completed 1,000 hours of service and six months of
     employment in the Plan year. Once a part-time employee is eligible, the
     employee maintains eligibility for the duration of employment regardless of
     number of hours worked in future Plan years.

     Participant Accounts

     A statement savings account is established for each participating employee.
     Employees may elect to have from 2-10% of their base pay, as defined,
     withheld for deposit into the statement savings account. No contributions
     are made by the Corporation or its subsidiaries.

     A participant's statement savings account shall be credited with interest
     computed at the regular statement savings account rate. The payroll
     deposits held in individual statement savings accounts pursuant to the Plan
     are not invested in securities or other obligations of the Corporation or
     other affiliated or unaffiliated issuers. A participant may at any time
     deposit additional sums to or withdraw sums from his or her account, and no
     amounts deposited in such accounts may be used by the Corporation for any
     corporate purpose. Plan participants have no interest in Corporation shares
     covered by their options until such options have been exercised.
     Accordingly, no securities or other obligations are held by the Plan or
     Plan participants during the yearly offering period.

     Administrative Expenses

     All administrative expenses of the Plan are paid by the Corporation.

     Vesting

     All participants are 100% vested in the balance in their statement savings 
     account.



                                                                     (Continued)

    Purchase of Shares

    The purchase price for the shares shall be established by the Committee at
    least thirty days prior to the offering date. The purchase price shall be
    the lower of:
 
            Not less than 85% nor more than 100% of the average of the actual
            high and low sales prices of the stock quoted by the National
            Association of Securities Dealers on the offering date (July 1) or
            the first trading date before the offering date if the offering date
            is not a trading date; or

            Not less than 85% nor more than 100% of the average of the actual
            high and low sales prices of the stock quoted by the National
            Association of Securities Dealers on the exercise date (June 30) or
            the first trading date before the exercise date if the exercise date
            is not a trading date.

    The Plan provides for the purchase of full shares only. The stock
    certificates are delivered to each participant. The number of shares
    purchased is equal to the lesser of the participants annual eligible payroll
    deduction or statement savings account balance.
