COMPLETED ACQUISITIONS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
     On December 16, 1998, Susquehanna completed the acquisition of Cardinal
Bancorp, Inc. ("CBI"), a Pennsylvania bank holding company with $138 million in
assets and $114 million in deposits at the acquisition date. Susquehanna issued
2.048 shares of common stock to the shareholders of CBI for each of the 990,000
outstanding common shares of CBI. The transaction was accounted for under the
pooling-of-interests method of accounting; accordingly, the consolidated
financial statements have been restated to include the consolidated accounts of
CBI for all periods presented.
     On January 4, 1999, Susquehanna completed the acquisition of First Capitol
Bank ("FCB"), a Pennsylvania commercial bank with $111 million in assets and $93
million in deposits at the acquisition date. Susquehanna issued 2.028 shares of
common stock to the shareholders of FCB for each of the 520,393 outstanding
common shares of FCB. The transaction was accounted for under the pooling-of-
interests method of accounting; accordingly, the consolidated financial
statements have been restated to include the consolidated accounts of FCB for

ITEM 2

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                   CONDITION
                                   ---------
                                        
     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") is set forth below for the periods
indicated. All per share data has been adjusted to reflect the three-for-two
stock split paid July 1, 1998.

     Certain statements in this document may be considered to be "forward-
looking statements" as that term is defined in the U.S. Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements include the words "expect",
"estimate", "project", "anticipate", "should", "intend", "probability", "risk",
"target", "objective" and similar expressions or variations on such expressions.
In particular, this document includes forward-looking statements relating, but
not limited to, Susquehanna's potential exposures to Year 2000 compliance issues
and various types of market risks, such as interest rate risk and credit risk.
These statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties. For example,
certain market risk disclosures are dependent on choices about key model
characteristics and assumptions and are subject to various limitations. By their
nature, certain market risk disclosures are only estimates and could be
materially different from what actually occurs in the future. As a result,
actual income gains and losses could materially differ from those that have been
estimated. Other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially
from those estimated by the forward-looking statements contained in this
document include, but are not limited to: general economic conditions in market
areas which Susquehanna has significant business activities or investments; the
monetary and interest rate policies of the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System; inflation; deflation; unanticipated turbulence in interest
rates; changes in laws, regulations and taxes; changes in competition and
pricing environments; natural disasters; the inability to hedge certain risks
economically; the adequacy of loss reserves; acquisitions or restructurings;
technological changes; changes in consumer spending and saving habits; economic
and social turbulence which might result from the Y2K or millennium problem; and
the success of Susquehanna in managing the risks involved in the foregoing.

     On December 16, 1998, Susquehanna completed the acquisition of Cardinal
Bancorp, Inc. ("Cardinal"), a Pennsylvania bank holding company. On January 4,
1999, Susquehanna completed the acquisition of First Capitol Bank, ("First
Capitol"), a Pennsylvania state-chartered bank. Since these transactions were
accounted for under the pooling-of-interests method of accounting, all financial
results reported include Cardinal and First Capitol.
 
                                EARNINGS SUMMARY
                                ----------------

     Susquehanna's net income for the first quarter of 1999 was $11.8 million, a
5% increase over the net income of $11.2 million reported in the first quarter
of 1998.    Increased net interest income and fee income and a modest decline in
other expenses enhanced Susquehanna's earnings performance.

                                       9

     Diluted earnings per share ("EPS") were $0.32 per share for the first
quarter of 1999 compared with $0.30 per share in the first quarter of 1998.
Return on average assets ("ROA") and return on average equity ("ROE") decreased
from 1.17% and 12.07%, respectively, in the first quarter of 1998 to 1.16% and
11.89%, respectively, in the first quarter of 1998.  For the first quarter of
1999, tangible EPS, ROA and ROE were $0.34, 1.25%, and 13.85%, respectively.

     Total assets at March 31, 1999 of $4.1 billion were $140 million higher
than one year ago. Loans totaled $2.8 billion at March 31, 1999, compared to
$2.7 billion at March 31, 1998, and deposits were $3.2 billion at March 31,
1999, compared to $3.1 billion at March 31, 1998.  Equity capital was $406
million at March 31, 1999, or $10.99 per share, compared to $382 million, or
$10.36 per share, at March 31, 1998.

                              NET INTEREST INCOME
                              -------------------

     The major source of operating revenues is net interest income, which rose
to a level of $39.3 million in the first quarter of 1999 compared to $38.9
million for the same period in 1998. 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
supporting 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 assets.  The cost of
funds varies with the amount of funds necessary to support earning assets, the
rates paid to attract and hold 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 the 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 net interest income and other income was 84% for the quarters ended March 31,
1999 and 1998.

     Net interest income increased $0.4 million during the first quarter of 1999
compared to the first quarter of 1998. This improvement was due to an increase
in average earning assets of $212 million offset by a decline in the net
interest margin from 4.49% in 1998 to 4.28% in 1999. This decline in margin was
due to a 50 basis point drop in earning asset yield which was partially offset
by a 35 basis point drop in the cost of funds. The drop in earning asset yield
was greater because of asset prepayments, the difference in the timing of
maturities and repricing, and market forces impacting product pricing. However,
the net interest margin for the three months ended March 31 declined to 4.28% in
1999 from 4.49% in 1998.

                                  OTHER INCOME
                                  ------------

     Non-interest income increased $0.1 million, or 1%, from $7.2 million in the
first quarter of 1998 to $7.3 million in the first quarter of 1999.  This
increase resulted primarily from an increase in deposit fees of $0.3 million.

     Other income as a percentage of net interest income and other income was
16% for the quarters ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

                                 OTHER EXPENSES
                                 --------------

     Total non-interest expenses decreased $0.5 million, or 2%, from $28.6
million in the first quarter of 1998 to $28.1 million in the first quarter of
1999 due primarily to a reduction in salaries and benefits expense. During the
first quarter of 1999, Susquehanna incurred charges of $0.8 million related to
Year 2000 systems remediation compared with $0.1 million in the first quarter of
1998. Total expense for Year 2000 remediation is $3.5 million at March 31, 1999.
Susquehanna estimates that the total project expenses it will incur regarding
Year 2000 remediation during 1998 and 1999 will total $4.0 million. For a
further discussion on these matters, please see the following section entitled
"Impact of the Year 2000 Issue".

                                  INCOME TAXES
                                  ------------
     Susquehanna's effective tax rate increased slightly to 31.25% for the first
three months of 1999 from 30.85% for the first three months of 1998.

                                  RISK ASSETS
                                  -----------

     Table 2 shows a decrease in nonperforming assets from $26.4 million at
December 31, 1998 to $24.0 million at March 31, 1999, while nonperforming assets
to period-end loans and OREO declined from 0.92% at December 31, 1998 to 0.85%
at March 31, 1999.  Loan loss reserve to non-performing loans at March 31, 1999
was 194% compared with 167% at December 31, 1998.

               PROVISION AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN AND LEASE LOSSES
               -------------------------------------------------

     As illustrated in Table 3, the provision increased to $1.4 million in the
first quarter of 1999 compared with $1.3 million in the first quarter of 1998.
Net charge-offs decreased  $0.5 million for the same periods.

     The allowance at March 31, 1999 was 1.29% of period-end loans and leases
compared to 1.34% at March 31, 1998.

                               CAPITAL RESOURCES
                               -----------------

     Capital elements for Susquehanna 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 ratio at March
31, 1999 was 12.63%.  The minimum total capital  (Tier II) ratio is 8%;
Susquehanna's ratio at March 31, 1999 was 15.60%. The minimum leverage ratio is
4%; Susquehanna's leverage ratio at March 31, 1999 was 9.01%.
 
                                  MARKET RISKS
                                  ------------

     The types of market risk exposures generally faced by banking entities
include interest rate risk, liquidity risk, equity market price risk, foreign
currency risk and commodity price risk. Due to the nature of its operations,
only interest rate and liquidity risks are significant to Susquehanna.

     Liquidity and interest rate risk 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 

                                       11
<PAGE>
 
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. At March 31, 1999,
Susquehanna's subsidiary banks and its savings bank have unused lines of credit
available to them from the Federal Home Loan Bank totaling $372 million.

     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 $98 million at March 31, 1999. These maturing investments
represent 10% of total investment securities. Short-term investments amounted to
$57 million and represent additional sources of liquidity. Consequently,
Susquehanna's exposure to liquidity risk is not considered significant.

     Closely related to the management of liquidity is the management of
interest rate risk, 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. Management's objective is 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,
there is a lag in maintaining the desired matching because the repricing of
products does occur at varying time intervals.

     Susquehanna employs a variety of methods to monitor interest rate risk.  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 and interest rate shock analyses to evaluate
interest rate sensitivity.

       Susquehanna's policy, as approved by its Board of Directors, is for
Susquehanna to experience no more than a 15% decline in net interest income and
no more than a 25% decline in economic equity for a 200 basis point shock
(immediate change) in interest rates. The assumptions used for the interest rate
shock analysis are reviewed and updated on a periodic basis. Based upon the most
recent interest rate shock analysis, Susquehanna was well within the policy
limits.

                         IMPACT OF THE YEAR 2000 ISSUE
                         -----------------------------

     The following section contains forward-looking statements, which involve
risks and uncertainties. Susquehanna's actual impact from the Year 2000 issue
could materially differ from that which is anticipated in these forward-looking
statements as a result of certain factors identified below.

     The "Year 2000 Issue" is the result of computer programs having been
written using two digits rather than four to define the applicable year.  Any of
Susquehanna's computer systems that have date-sensitive software or date
sensitive hardware may recognize a date using "00" as the Year 1900 rather than
the Year 2000.  This could result in a system failure or miscalculations causing
disruptions of operations, including, among other things, a temporary inability
to process transactions, send statements, or engage in similar normal business
activities.

     Based on an ongoing assessment, Susquehanna has determined that it will be
required to modify or replace portions of its software and hardware so that its
computer systems will properly utilize dates beyond December 31, 1999.
Susquehanna presently believes that as a 

                                       12

result of modifications to existing software and hardware and conversions to new
software and hardware, the Year 2000 Issue can be mitigated. However, if such
modifications and conversions are not made, or are not completed on a timely
basis, the Year 2000 Issue could have a material adverse impact on the
operations of Susquehanna. Susquehanna is currently on schedule.

     Susquehanna's Year 2000 Action Plan has been categorized into five phases:
Awareness, Assessment, Renovation (testing), Validation and Implementation.  The
initial focus within those phases has been on systems and vendors that are
related to mission critical business processes.  Mission critical processes are
defined as those areas of the business whose continued operations are required
in order to provide basic banking services. All other business processes were
categorized as either significant or ancillary and have also been subject to Y2K
remediation programs. As of March 31, 1999, the Awareness and Assessment phases
for all business processes (mission critical, significant and ancillary) were
completed. The Renovation and Validation phases for all business processes
(mission critical, significant and ancillary) were substantially completed. The
Implementation phase for all business processes (mission critical, significant
and ancillary) is underway and is expected to be completed by the end of the
second quarter of 1999.

     Susquehanna has initiated formal communications with all of its vendors and
large commercial customers to determine the extent to which Susquehanna is
vulnerable to those third parties' failure to remedy their own Year 2000 Issue.
Susquehanna's estimated Year 2000 project costs include the costs and time
associated with the impact of a third party's Year 2000 Issue, and are based on
presently available information.

     Vendors of services to Susquehanna were evaluated for Y2K compliancy. As of
March 31, 1999, the evaluation of vendors has substantially been completed. All
vendors evaluated have been determined to be Y2K compliant or alternative
vendors have been designated. Y2K risk assessments of borrowers and depositors
have been conducted. Identified risks are deemed to be nominal.

     Susquehanna believes that it will be Year 2000 ready before December 31,
1999 and testing to date has not revealed a need for business remediation
contingency plans for core or other internal processing systems.  Exposure to
counter-parties and other directly related external vendors was deemed limited
and required only nominal contingency planning, such as the designation of an
alternative vendor.  The greatest risk is believed to be through external
parties that are not within Susquehanna's control.  A significant electrical
failure, for example, may require the company to limit or even eliminate
services until power is restored.  Backup records will be produced immediately
prior to January 1, 2000 to assure an orderly resumption of business if major
disruptions occur.  Further, business resumption contingency planning is being
done throughout the company in order to assure rapid and disciplined approaches
to handling any unexpected occurrence.

     Included within the scope of Susquehanna's Year 2000 Action Plan is the
assessment of non-information technology systems with embedded chips.
Susquehanna's assessment process generally includes inventorying such equipment
and making a determination as to the Year 2000 readiness status of these items.
This assessment has been completed. No Year 2000 modifications or replacements
of a material nature have been identified for non-information technology
systems.

                                       13

     Susquehanna is utilizing both internal and external resources to reprogram,
or replace, and test its software and hardware for Year 2000 modifications.
Concurrent with the Year 2000 project, Susquehanna is also converting all its
major data processing systems, both hardware and software, to current Year 2000
compliant technology.  As of March 31, 1999, Susquehanna has completed the
systems conversion projects for all critical systems.  The total cost of the
Year 2000 and systems conversion projects is estimated at $12 million.  Of the
total projects' cost, approximately $8 million is attributable to the purchase
of new software and hardware, which is capitalized.  The remaining $4 million is
expensed as incurred during 1998 and 1999.  These costs are not expected to have
a material effect on the results of operations of Susquehanna.

     The costs of the projects and the date on which Susquehanna plans to
complete both the Year 2000 modifications and systems conversions are based on
management's best estimates, which were derived utilizing numerous assumptions
of future events including the continued availability of certain resources,
third party modification plans and other factors.  However, there can be no
guarantee that these estimates will be achieved and actual results could differ
materially from those plans.  Specific factors that might cause such material
differences include, but are not limited to, the availability and cost of
personnel trained in this area, new initiatives, if any, undertaken to assure
compliancy, and information regarding externalities presently unknown.

     As a bank holding company, Susquehanna and its subsidiaries are subject to
the regulation and oversight of various banking regulators. Their oversight
includes the provision of specific timetables, programs and guidance regarding
Year 2000 issues.  Regulatory examination of the holding company and its
subsidiaries' Year 2000 program are conducted on a quarterly basis, and reports
are submitted by Susquehanna to the regulators on a periodic basis.
