ACCOUNTING POLICIES
   The information contained in this report is unaudited and is subject to year-
end adjustments. However, in the opinion of management, the information reflects
all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of results for the periods ended
June 30, 1996 and 1995.
   The accounting policies of Susquehanna Bancshares, Inc. & Subsidiaries
("Susquehanna"), as applied in the consolidated interim financial statements
presented herein, are substantially the same as those followed on an annual
basis as presented on pages 44 and 45 of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 1995, except as noted in the following
paragraphs.
   Susquehanna adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.121 -
"Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to
be Disposed of" ("SFAS 121") in the first quarter of 1996. SFAS 121 requires
that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles to be held and used
by an entity be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be
recoverable. The adoption of SFAS 121 had no effect on Susquehanna's financial
condition or results of operations as Susquehanna has historically applied the
principles of SFAS 121 to its financial statements and notes.
   The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 122 - "Accounting for Mortgage-Servicing Rights" ("SFAS
122") in 1995. SFAS 122 requires that a portion of the cost of originating a
mortgage loan be allocated to the mortgage servicing right based on its fair
value relative to the loans as a whole and recorded as an asset separate from
the underlying loans. SFAS 122 prohibits retroactive application; accordingly,
SFAS 122 was adopted in the first quarter of 1996 and did not have a material
effect on Susquehanna's financial condition or results of operations.

   On April 21, 1995, SBI purchased Reisterstown Holdings, Inc.("Reisterstown"),
a Maryland thrift holding company with $248 million in assets and $210 million
in deposits at the acquisition date, for $28.6 million. The transaction was
accounted for under the purchase method of accounting and, accordingly, the
results of operations of Reisterstown have been included in Susquehanna since
the date of the acquisition. Under this method of accounting, the purchase price
is allocated to the respective assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on
their estimated fair values, net of income tax effects. Goodwill of $12.7
million was created in this transaction and will be amortized to other operating
expense on a straight-line basis over 15 years.
   On February 1, 1996, SBI purchased Fairfax Financial Corporation ("Fairfax"),
a Maryland thrift holding company with $455 million in assets and $396 million
in deposits at the acquisition date, for $62.7 million. The transaction was
accounted for under the purchase method of accounting and, accordingly, the
results of operations of Fairfax have been included in Susquehanna since the
date of the acquisition. Under this method of accounting, the purchase price is
allocated to the respective assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on
their estimated fair values, net of income tax effects. Goodwill of $21.4
million was created in this transaction and will be amortized to other operating
expense on a straight-line basis over 15 years.

  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND
  ---------------------------------------------------------------------
  FINANCIAL CONDITION
  -------------------

  The following is management's discussion and analysis of the significant
  changes in the consolidated results of operations, financial condition, and
  cash flows of Susquehanna Bancshares, Inc. ("Susquehanna").

                            Significant Transactions
                            ------------------------

       Several significant transactions occurred which affected the compara-
  bility of Susquehanna's financial performance for the six months ended
  June 30, 1996 and 1995 and for the second quarter of 1996 and 1995.  These
  transactions are described in the following paragraphs.

       On February 9, 1995, Susquehanna issued  $50 million 9.00% subordinated
  notes due 2005.  The proceeds of the issuance were used to acquire Reisters-
  town Holdings, Inc. ("Reisterstown") on April 21, 1995, and retire $10
  million in short-term borrowings.  The balance of the proceeds were used for
  general corporate purposes.

       On April 1, 1995, Susquehanna completed the acquisition of Atlanfed
  Bancorp, Inc. ("Atlanfed")  issuing 1,199,333 common shares for all of
  Atlanfed's outstanding shares.  Total assets of Atlanfed at the acquisition
  date were $255 million.  Deposits totaled $179 million; loans outstanding were
  $189 million; and stockholders' equity was $22.6 million.  The transaction was
  treated as a pooling-of-interests and Susquehanna's financial results for all
  reported periods are restated to include Atlanfed's financial results.

       On April 21, 1995, Susquehanna completed the acquisition of all the
  outstanding capital stock of Reisterstown, thereby acquiring all of the assets
  and assuming all the 
<PAGE>
 
  liabilities of Reisterstown for $28.6 million in cash. Accordingly, the
  transaction was treated under the purchase method of accounting whereby all
  the financial results are included with Susquehanna from April 21, 1995
  forward. The loans acquired totaled $198 million, total assets were $248
  million and deposits were $210 million. The excess purchase price of $12.7
  million will be amortized over 15 years.

       On December 22, 1995, Susquehanna closed a public common equity offering
  of 1,300,000 shares at $26.50 per share, netting $32.6 million after
  underwriting commissions. The proceeds from the offering were used as part of
  the purchase price to acquire Fairfax Financial Corporation ("Fairfax"),
  discussed later.

       On January 2, 1996, the underwriters exercised their 15% over-allotment
  option and another 195,000 shares of Susquehanna's common stock were issued to
  the public.  The net proceeds to Susquehanna after underwriting commissions
  were $4.9 million and were also used as part of the purchase price to acquire
  Fairfax.

       On January 29, 1996, Susquehanna issued $35 million 6.30% senior notes
  due 2003.  The proceeds of this issuance were used to partially fund the
  purchase of Fairfax and for general corporate purposes.

       On February 1, 1996, Susquehanna completed the acquisition of all of the
  outstanding capital stock of Fairfax, thereby acquiring all of the assets and
  assuming all the liabilities of Fairfax for $62.7 million in cash.
  Accordingly, the transaction was treated under the purchase method of
  accounting.  Assets acquired were $455 million; loans acquired were $402
  million; and deposits acquired were $396 million.  The excess purchase price
  of $21.4 million will be amortized over 15 years.

                                Earnings Summary
                                ----------------

       Susquehanna's net income for the quarter ended June 30, 1996 was a record
  $8.3 million, 30.2% above the $6.4 million earned in the second quarter of
  1995 and $315 thousand or 3.9% higher than the $8.0 million realized in the
  first quarter of 1996.  For the six months ended June 30, 1996 net income was
  a record $16.4 million, $4.7 million or 40.8% above the $11.6 million earned
  in the comparable period in 1995.  The major influences on these earnings
  increases were the Reisterstown and Fairfax acquisitions and the decrease in
  the FDIC insurance premiums paid by the commercial banks.

       Earnings per share for the first six months of 1996 was $1.24 compared to
  $1.00 in 1995, while the return on average assets rose to 1.12% from the 1.00%
  realized in 1995.  The return on average equity rose to 11.76% at June 30,
  1996 compared to 10.57% at June 30, 1995.

       At June 30, 1996, the equity-to-assets ratio was 9.40% compared to 9.22%
  at March 31, 1996, 10.57% at December 31, 1995 and 9.12% at June 30, 1995.
  The book value per share at the same period ends was $21.48, $21.34, $21.11
  and $19.75 respectively.

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

       Net interest income is the income which remains after deducting from
  total income generated by earning assets the interest expense attributable to
  the acquisition of the funds required to support earning assets.  Income from
  earning assets includes income from loans, income from investment securities
  and income from short-term investments.  The amount of interest income is
  dependent upon many factors including the volume of earning assets, the
  general level of interest rates, the dynamics of the change in interest rates,
  and levels of non-performing loans.  The cost of funds varies with the amount
  of funds 
<PAGE>
 
  necessary to support earning assets, the rates paid to attract and retain
  deposits, rates paid on borrowed funds, and the levels of non-interest-bearing
  demand deposits and equity capital.

       Table 1 presents average balances, taxable equivalent interest income and
  expenses and yields earned or paid on these assets and liabilities of
  Susquehanna.  For purposes of calculating taxable equivalent interest income,
  tax-exempt interest has been adjusted using a marginal tax rate of 35% in
  order to equate the yield to that of taxable interest rates. Net interest
  income as a percentage of the sum of net interest income and other income was
  85.4% and  87.9%  for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995,
  respectively, and for the quarters ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 was 84.9% and
  87.6%, respectively.

       Net interest income, which is the major source of operating income,
  reached $62.7 million through the six month period ending June 30, 1996, which
  is 22.6% (i.e. $11.5 million) above that realized through June 30, 1995.  This
  increase was the result of a 25.2% increase in average earning assets as shown
  in Table 2 offset by a slight decline in the net interest margin -- 4.89% to
  4.74%.  The primary factors for the asset growth are the acquisitions of
  Reisterstown and Fairfax.  The decline in the net interest margin was the
  result of a 23 basis point increase in the cost of interest-bearing
  liabilities, compared to a 10 basis point rise in the yield on earning assets.
  The yield on time deposits rose from 5.20% during the first half of 1995 to
  5.56% for the same period of 1996.  For the three months ending June 30,
  1996,compared to the three months ended March 31, 1996,  the net interest
  margin remained at 4.74% and, while the yield on time deposits declined to
  5.48% from 5.64%, the interest-bearing demand deposits and the regular savings
  deposits recorded 
<PAGE>
 
  deposit increases of $57.7 million and $3.1 million respectively, with little
  change in rates paid.

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

       Non-interest income, recorded as other income, consists of service
  charges on deposit accounts, commissions, fees received for servicing loans,
  fees for trust services, premium income generated from reinsurance activities,
  gains and losses on security transactions, net gains on sales of mortgages,
  net gains on sales of other real estate owned and other miscellaneous income,
  such as safe deposit box rents.  Other income as a percentage of net interest
  income and other income was 14.6% and 12.1% for the six months ended June 30,
  1996 and 1995, respectively and for the three months ended June 30, 1996 and
  1995 was 15.1% and 12.4% respectively.

       Non interest income increased $3.7 million, or 52.2%, from $7.0 million
  in the first six months of 1995 to $10.7 million in the first six months of
  1996.  For the three months ended June 30, 1996, the total of non interest
  income was $5.7 million. This was $1.9 million or 51.2% above the comparable
  quarter of 1995.  For the first six months of 1996, trust revenues rose $201
  thousand over the prior year's six months results, security gains realized
  totaled $195 thousand  compared to a $73 thousand loss in 1995 and gains on
  the sale of loans exceeded 1995 gains by $1.7 million.
<PAGE>
 
                                 Other Expenses
                                 --------------

  Non-interest expenses are categorized into five main groupings:  employee-
  related expenses, which include salaries, fringe benefits, and employment
  taxes; occupancy expenses, which include depreciation, rents, maintenance,
  utilities, and insurance; equipment expenses, which include depreciation,
  rents and maintenance; Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation's insurance
  premiums on deposits; and other expenses incurred in operating Susquehanna's
  business.

       Total non-interest expenses totaled $46.7 million in 1996, a $7.4
  million,  or 18.8%, increase over the first six months of 1995.  For the
  quarter ended June 30, 1996, the total of these expenses were $24.0 million.
  This was $3.9 million, or 19.2%, above the same quarter of 1995 and exceeded
  the first quarter of 1996 by $1.4 million. The reduction in the FDIC insurance
  premium in the first six months of 1996 over 1995 totaled $1.3 million and
  between the comparable second quarters was $669 thousand.  Also included in
  the operating expenses for the first six months of  1996 was amortization of
  intangible assets of $2.2 million compared to $1.2 million in 1995.

                                  Income Taxes
                                  ------------

       Susquehanna's effective tax rate increased from 28.9% through the first
  six months of 1995 to 32.8% through the first six months of 1996. State income
  taxes applicable to Maryland banking companies and additional non-deductible
  expenses relating to the Reisterstown and Fairfax acquisitions are the
  principal causes for this rise.
<PAGE>
 
                                  Risk Assets
                                  -----------

       Table 3 shows an increase in non-performing assets at June 30, 1996 of
  $6.4 million from December 31, 1995, compared to  a decrease from June 30,
  1995 of $3.9 million.  The increase shown for the period January 1 through
  June 30, 1996 includes $4.7 million acquired in the Fairfax transaction.
  However, the ratio of non-performing assets to period-end loans and leases and
  other real estate owned fell to 1.74% at June 30, 1996 from 1.79% at December
  31, 1995.

               Provision and Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses
               -------------------------------------------------

       As illustrated in Table 4, the provision was $192 thousand lower in 1996
  while net charge-offs rose by $215 thousand.  The allowance totaled $32.0
  million at June 30, 1996 and represents 1.50% of period-end loans and leases
  and 101% of the total of the non-performing loans and leases.

                               Capital Resources
                               -----------------

       Capital elements are segmented into two tiers.  Tier I capital represents
  shareholders' equity reduced by most intangible assets, while total capital
  includes certain allowable long-term debt and the general portion of the
  allowance for loan and lease losses limited to 1.25% of risk-adjusted assets.
  The minimum Tier I capital ratio is 4%; Susquehanna's Tier I ratio at June 30,
  1996  was  11.93%.  The minimum total capital  (Tier I & Tier II) ratio is 8%;
  Susquehanna's total capital ratio at June 30, 1996  was 15.63%.  The minimum
  leverage ratio  is 4%; Susquehanna's leverage ratio at  June 30, 1996 was
  8.21%.
<PAGE>
 
                           Asset/Liability Management
                           --------------------------

       Liquidity and interest rate sensitivity are related but distinctly
  different from one another.  The maintenance of adequate liquidity -- the
  ability to meet the cash requirements of its customers and other financial
  commitments -- is a fundamental aspect of Susquehanna's asset/liability
  management strategy.  Susquehanna's policy of diversifying its funding sources
  -- purchased funds, repurchase agreements, and deposit accounts -- allows it
  to avoid undue concentration in any single financial market and also to avoid
  heavy funding requirements within short periods of time.

       However, liquidity is not entirely dependent on increasing Susquehanna's
  liability balances.  Liquidity can also be generated from maturing or readily
  marketable assets.  The carrying value of investment securities maturing
  within one year amounted to $108.6 million or 17.9% of the investment
  portfolio  at June 30, 1996. Short-term investments totaling $67.0 million at
  June 30, 1996 represent additional sources of liquidity.

       Closely related to the management of liquidity is the management of rate
  sensitivity which focuses on maintaining stability in the net interest margin,
  an important factor in earnings growth.  Interest rate sensitivity is the
  matching or mismatching of the maturity and rate structure of the interest-
  bearing assets and liabilities.  It is the objective of management to control
  the difference in the timing of the rate changes for these assets and
  liabilities to preserve a satisfactory net interest margin.  In doing so,
  Susquehanna endeavors to maximize earnings in an environment of changing
  interest rates.  However, 
<PAGE>
 
  there can be a lag in maintaining the desired matching because the repricing
  of products occurs at varying time intervals.

       Susquehanna employs a variety of methods to monitor interest rate
  sensitivity and limit net interest income exposure.  By dividing the assets
  and liabilities into three groups -- fixed rate, floating rate, and those
  which reprice only at management's discretion -- strategies are developed
  which are designed to minimize exposure to interest rate fluctuations.
  Management also utilizes gap analysis to evaluate rate sensitivity at a given
  point in time.

       Table 5 illustrates Susquehanna's estimated interest rate sensitivity and
  periodic and cumulative gap positions as calculated at June 30, 1996.  An
  institution with more assets repricing than liabilities over a given time
  frame is considered asset sensitive, and one with more liabilities repricing
  than assets is considered liability sensitive.  An asset sensitive institution
  will generally benefit from rising rates, and a liability sensitive
  institution will generally benefit from declining rates.  While Susquehanna
  has had and will into the foreseeable future experience a negative gap
  position (liability sensitive), the impact of a rapid rise in interest rates,
  as occurred in 1994, did not have a significant effect on the net interest
  margin of Susquehanna.
