Financial  Company    - as of June 30, 1997, the results of its operations for
six  and  three  month periods ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 and the cash flows
for  the  six  month  periods  ended  June 30, 1997 and 1996.  These unaudited
consolidated  financial  statements  should  be  read  in conjunction with the
audited  consolidated  financial  statements  of the Corporation and the notes
thereto  set  forth  in  the  Corporation's  1996  annual  report.

The  results  of operations for the six and three month periods ended June 30,
1997 and 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for
the  full  year.

NOTE  2  -  Income  tax  expense  is less than the amount calculated using the
statutory tax rate primarily the result of tax exempt income earned from state
and  municipal  securities  and  loans.

NOTE  3  -  The  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  issued  Statement of
Financial  Accounting  Standards  (SFAS) No. 128, Earnings Per Share, which is
effective  for  financial  statements  issued  after December 15, 1997.  Early
adoption  of  the  new standard is not permitted.  The new standard eliminates
primary  and  fully  diluted  earnings  per share and requires presentation of
basic  and  diluted earnings per share together with disclosure of how the per
share  amounts  were  computed.    The  adoption  of  this new standard is not
expected  to have a material impact on the disclosure of earnings per share in
the  financial  statements.

NOTE  4 - On January 1, 1996, the Corporation adopted the Financial Accounting
Standards  Board  issued  (SFAS)  No.  123,  "Accounting  for  Stock-Based
Compensation,"  which  contains  a  fair  value-based  method  for  valuing
stock-based  compensation  that  entities may use, which measures compensation
cost  at the grant date based on the fair value of the award.  Compensation is
then  recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period.
Alternatively,  the  standard  permits  entities  to  continue  accounting for
employee  stock  options  and  similar instruments under Accounting Principles
Board    (APB)  Opinion  No.  25,  "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees."
Entities  that  continue to account for stock options using APB Opinion No. 25
are  required  to  make  pro  forma disclosures of net income and earnings per
share, as if the fair value-based method of accounting defined in SFAS No. 123
had  been  applied.  The Corporation's employee stock option plan is accounted
for  under  APB Opinion No. 25.  Accordingly, the adoption of SFAS No. 123 did
not  have  an  impact  on the Corporation's consolidated financial position or
results  of  operations.

NOTE  5  -  On  March  1, 1996, the Corporation consummated the acquisition of
Farmers  &  Merchants  Bank (Honesdale, PA.) ("Farmers").  The acquisition was
pursuant  to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization and an Agreement and Plan
of  Merger  which was executed on September 7, 1995.  The agreements delineate
the terms of the combination.  The shareholders of Farmers approved the merger
at  a meeting of shareholders on January 31, 1996.   For each share of Farmers
common stock outstanding, 0.6190 shares of the Corporation's common stock were
issued  at  the  effective  date  on  March  1,  1996.      As a result of the
transaction,  438,262  new  shares  of  Harleysville National Corporation, par
value  $1.00  per share, were issued on March 1, 1996 pursuant to Registration
Statement  No.  33-65021 filed with the SEC and which was effective January 2,
1996.    Farmers'  banking operations were merged into those of Citizens.  The
Farmers  merger  was  accounted  for  on  a  pooling-of-interests  basis.

NOTE  6  -  On  May  8,  1997, the Board of Directors of Harleysville National
Corporation  declared  a    5% stock dividend (five shares of common stock for
each  100  shares  of common stock outstanding held) that was payable June 30,
1997,  to  shareholders  of  record  June  13,  1997.
            On  May 9, 1996, the Board of Directors of Harleysville National
Corporation  declared  a    5% stock dividend (five shares of common stock for
each  100  shares  of common stock outstanding held) that was payable June 28,
1996,  to  shareholders  of  record  June  14,  1996.

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

RESULTS  OF  OPERATIONS
- -----------------------

     The  following  is  management's  discussion and analysis of the
significant  changes  in  the  results  of  operations,  capital resources and
liquidity  presented in its accompanying consolidated financial statements for
the  Corporation,  the  Banks  and  HNC  Financial Company.  The Corporation's
consolidated  financial  condition  and  results  of operations consist almost
entirely  of  the  Banks' financial condition and results of operations.  This
discussion should be read in conjunction with the 1996 Annual Report.  Current
performance  does  not  guarantee,  assure,  or  may  be indicative of similar
performance  in  the  future.

     In  addition to historical information, this Form 10-Q contains
forward-looking  statements.   The forward-looking statements contained herein
are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results
to  differ  materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements.
Important  factors  that  might  cause  such a difference include, but are not
limited  to,  those discussed in the section entitled "Management's Discussion
and  Analysis  of Results of Operations and Financial Condition."  Readers are
cautioned  not  to  place  undue reliance on these forward-looking statements,
which  reflect  management's  analysis  only  as  of  the  date  hereof.   The
Corporation  undertakes  no  obligation  to  publicly  revise  or update these
forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that arise after
the  date  hereof.  Readers should carefully review the risk factors described
in other documents the Corporation files from time to time with the Securities
and  Exchange  Commission,  including the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q to be
filed by the Corporation in 1997 and 1998, and any Current Reports on Form 8-K
filed  by  the  Corporation.

     Consolidated  net income for the first six months of 1997 was $8,284,000,
an  increase  of  $1,255,000,  or 17.9%, over the first six months of 1996 net
income  of $7,029,000.  Earnings per share for the first six months of 1997 of
$1.18 increased $0.18, over the first six months of 1996 earnings per share of
$1.00.  Consolidated net income for the second quarter of 1997 was $4,370,000,
an  increase of $726,000, or 19.9%, over the second quarter of 1996 net income
of  $3,644,000.    Earnings  per share for the second quarter of 1997 of $0.62
increased  $0.10, over the second quarter of 1996 earnings per share of $0.52.

     The second quarter of 1997 net income included a security gain,
resulting  from  the  sale of equity securities held at HNC Financial Company.
This  gain  contributed approximately $400,000 to net income during the second
quarter  of  1997.      Management continuously reviews the available for sale
security  portfolio  for opportunities to sell securities and recognize gains.
The  timing  of security sales is dependent on portfolio management strategies
and  market conditions.  It is anticipated that Management may sell securities
in  the  future  that  may  result  in  gains  or  losses.

     For  the six months ended June 30, 1997, the annualized return on average
assets  and  the annualized return on average shareholders' equity  were 1.58%
and  16.49%, respectively.  For the same period in 1996, the annualized return
on average assets was 1.48% and the annualized return on average shareholders'
equity  was  15.86%.  For the three months ended June 30, 1997, the annualized
return  on  average assets was 1.64%, compared to 1.51% for the same period in
1996, and the annualized return on average shareholders' equity was 17.20% for
the  second  quarter  of  1997  and  16.23%  for  the  second  period of 1996.

     Net  income  is  affected by five major elements: net interest income, or
the  difference  between  interest  income earned on loans and investments and
interest  expense  paid on deposits and borrowed funds; the provision for loan
losses,  or  the  amount  added  to  the  allowance for loan losses to provide
reserves  for future losses on loans; other operating income, which is made up
primarily  of  certain  fees,  trust income and gains and losses from sales of
securities;  other operating expenses, which consist primarily of salaries and
other  operating expenses and income taxes.  Each of these major elements will
be  reviewed  in  more  detail  in  the  following  discussion.

 NET  INTEREST  INCOME  AND  RELATED  ASSETS  AND  LIABILITIES
 -------------------------------------------------------------

     Net  interest  income  for  the  first  six months of 1997 of $22,773,000
increased  $1,940,000, or 9.3%, over the first six months of 1996 net interest
income  of  $20,833,000.    As  illustrated in the table on the next page, the
primary  source  of this increase was a rise in interest income resulting from
increases  to  earning asset volumes in the first six months of 1997, compared
to  the  same  period  in 1996.  The increase in interest income was partially
offset  by  a  rise  in  interest  expense,  as a result of an increase in the
volumes  of    other  borrowings.    Other  borrowings  include  Federal Funds
purchased, Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings, securities sold under agreements
to  repurchase  and  U.  S.  Treasury  demand  notes.

     The  rate-volume variance analysis set forth in the table below, which is
computed  on a tax-equivalent basis (tax rate of 35%), analyzes changes in net
interest  income for the six months ended June 30, 1997 over June 30, 1996 and
the  three  months  ended  June  30, 1997 over June 30, 1996 by their rate and
volume  components.

    *Tax Equivalent Basis
</TABLE>

     Taxable-equivalent  net interest income was $24,277,000 for the first six
months  of  1997, compared to $21,965,000 for the same period in 1996, a 10.5%
or  $2,312,000  increase.    This  increase in taxable-equivalent net interest
income  was  primarily  due  to  a $2,045,000 increase related to volume.  The
increase  related    to interest rates was $267,000.  Total taxable-equivalent
interest income grew $3,546,000, primarily the result of the higher volumes in
both  the  security  and  loan earning asset categories.  Average year-to-date
earning assets increased to $993,036,000 at June 30, 1997 from $905,386,000 at
June  30,  1996,  a  9.7%  increase.      This  increase in earning assets was
primarily  due to the growth in loans, as a result of persistent sales efforts
and  new  branch  openings.

     Total interest expense grew $1,234,000 during the first six months
of 1997, compared to the same period in 1996.  This growth was principally the
result  of  higher  volumes, primarily due to an increase in other borrowings.
The volume of average other borrowings increased  $36,621,000, or 95.3% during
the  first six months of 1997, compared to the first six months of 1996.   The
increase  in  other  borrowings  was  used  to finance asset growth. Partially
offsetting  this  growth in interest expense were lower interest rates paid on
deposits  during  the first half of 1997, compared to the same period in 1996.
The  lower  deposit  rates were primarily due to lower time deposit rates. The
decrease  in  the  time  deposit rates is related to the repricing of maturing
higher  rate  CD's,  into  CD's  with  lower  rates.

PAGE 9
      Taxable-equivalent  net  interest  income  of  $12,179,000  was
$1,136,000,  or  10.3%  higher  for  the  second  quarter of 1996, compared to
$11,043,000  for  the  same  period  in 1996.  Interest income grew $1,972,000
during  the  period,  as  a  result  of  an increase in earning asset volumes.
Second quarter average earning assets grew $90,864,000, compared to the second
quarter  of  1996.    This  growth  included a $54,470,000 rise in loans and a
$24,894,000  increase  in securities.  The increase in the interest income was
partially  offset  by  a  $836,000 rise in interest expense.  Increases in all
deposit  category  volumes  contributed  to this increase in interest expense.
 Nonaccruing loans are included in the average balance yield calculations, but
the  average  nonaccruing  loans  had  no  material  effect  on  the  results.

 NET  INTEREST  MARGIN
 ---------------------

     The  net interest margin of 4.89% for the six month period ended June 30,
1997, increased from the 4.85% net interest margin for the first six months of
1996.    The  yield on earning assets was 8.19% during the first six months of
1997  and  1996.  During the first six months of 1997, a decrease in the yield
on  loans  was  offset  by  increases  in both the securities and money market
instrument  earning  asset  categories,  compared  to the same period in 1996.
The  4.11%  average  interest rate paid on interest bearing deposits and other
borrowings  during the first six months of 1997, decreased from the 4.14% rate
paid  during  the  same  period  in  1996.    The  decrease in the rate is due
generally  to the lower rates paid on time deposits.   The net interest margin
was  4.84%  in  the second quarter of 1996, a .01% increase from the 4.83% net
interest  margin  recorded in the second quarter of 1996.  The Banks have been
able  to  effectively  match  assets and liabilities and maintain a consistent
percentage  of  earning  assets  to  total  assets.

PROVISION  FOR  LOAN  LOSSES
- ----------------------------

     The  provision  is  based on management's analysis of the adequacy of the
allowance  for loan losses.  In its evaluation, management considers past loan
experience,  overall  characteristics  of the loan portfolio, current economic
conditions and other relevant factors.  Based on the latest monthly evaluation
of  potential loan losses, management currently believes that the allowance is
adequate  to  absorb  known  and  inherent  losses  in  the  loan  portfolio.
Ultimately,  however,  the adequacy of the allowance is largely dependent upon
the  economy,  a  factor beyond the Corporation's control.  With this in mind,
additions  to the allowance for loan losses may be required in future periods,
especially  if  economic  trends worsen or certain borrowers' ability to repay
declines.

      For  the  first  six months of 1997 the provision for loan losses was
$1,130,000,  compared  to  $1,055,000  for the same period in 1996. Net charge
offs  were  $636,000  for  the  six  months ended June 30, 1997, compared with
$452,000  for  the six months ended June 30, 1996.   The net loans charged off
during  the  first  six  months  of 1997 were primarily attributed to consumer
loans  (installment,  personal  credit  lines  and credit cards).  During the
first  half  of  1997,  management  took steps to control the risk of consumer
charge  offs  by  tightening  credit standards and increasing reserve for loan
losses  for  consumer  loans.    Total net loans charged off during the second
quarter  of 1997 were 25.3% less than the first quarter of 1997.  The ratio of
the  allowance  for  loan losses to loans at June 30, 1997 of 1.59% was higher
than  the  December  31,  1996 ratio of 1.57%, and was lower than the June 30,
1996  ratio  of  1.60%.

     Nonperforming  assets  (nonaccruing  loans, net assets in foreclosure and
troubled  debt  restructured  loans)  were 0.88% of total loans and net assets
acquired  in  foreclosure at June 30, 1997,  compared to 0.83% at December 31,
1996 and 1.90% at June 30, 1996.  The decline in this ratio from June 30, 1996
to  June  30, 1997, is the result of the reduction in nonaccruing loans during
this  period.    The  ratio of the allowance for loan losses to non-performing
assets was 178.2% at June 30, 1997 compared to 188.8% at December 31, 1996 and
82.9%  at  June  30,  1996.

     Nonaccruing  loans  at  June 30, 1997 of $4,217,000, increased $1,234,000
from  the December 31, 1996 level of $2,983,000, and decreased $5,395,000 from
the  June  30, 1996 level of $9,612 ,000.  The increase from December 31, 1997
is  primarily  related  to  commercial  &  real  estate loans.  The $5,394,000
reduction  in  nonaccrual  loans  from  June  30,  1996  to  June 30, 1997, is
primarily  due to one loan being upgraded to accruing status during the fourth
quarter  of 1996.  This loan achieved accrual status after meeting appropriate
standards.

     Net  assets  in  foreclosure totaled  $1,032,000 as of  June 30,
1997,  an  increase of $60,000 from the December 31, 1996 balance of $972,000.
During  the  first  six  months  of  1997,  transfers  from loans to assets in
foreclosure  were $669,000, payments on foreclosed properties totaled $605,000
and  write  downs  of  assets  in foreclosure equaled $4,000.  The $669,000 in
loans  transferred  to  assets in foreclosure included $367,000 of real estate
loans and $302,000 commercial loans.  The balance of net assets in foreclosure
at  June  30,  1996  was  $1,933,000.  Efforts to liquidate assets acquired in
foreclosure  are  proceeding as quickly as potential buyers can be located and
legal  constraints  permit.   Generally accepted accounting principles require
foreclosed assets to be carried at the lower of cost (lesser of carrying value
of  asset  or  fair  value  at  date  of acquisition) or estimated fair value.

PAGE 11

     As  of   June 30, 1997, there were two unrelated  borrowers with troubled
debt  restructured  loans  totaling  $1,037,000,  compared  with  a balance of
$1,717,000  as  of  December 31, 1996 and $1,115,000 at June 30, 1996. Both of
the  customers were complying with the restructured terms as of June 30, 1997.

     Loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest are loans that
are  generally well-secured and expected to be restored to a current status in
the  near  future.    As  of June 30, 1997, loans past due 90 days or more and
still  accruing  interest  were  $2,189,000,    compared  to  $1,848,000 as of
December  31, 1996 and $1,988,000 as of June 30, 1996.   The $341,000 increase
in  loans  past  due  90  days  from  December  31,  1996 to June 30, 1997 was
primarily  the  result  of  an increase in real estate loans past due 90 days.

     Income recognized on impaired loans during
          the first six months of 1997                          $   75,000
                                                                ==========

    The  Banks' policy for interest income recognition on impaired loans is to
recognize  income  on  restructured loans under the accrual method.  The Banks
recognize  income  on nonaccrual loans under the cash basis when the loans are
both  current  and  the  collateral  on  the  loan  is sufficient to cover the
outstanding  obligation  to the Banks.  The Banks will not recognize income if
these  factors  do  not  exist.

     Other  operating  income  for  the  first  six  months  of 1997 increased
$1,100,000,  or  45.5%, from $2,416,000 at June 30, 1996 to $3,516,000 at June
30,  1997.    This rise in other operating income is primarily the result of a
$823,000 rise in net security gains during the first half of 1997, compared to
the  same  period  in  1996.   Also contributing to this increase were service
charges,  trust fees and other income that grew $151,000, $53,000 and $73,000,
respectively,  compared to the first half of 1996.  The second quarter of 1997
other  income  of  $2,126,000  was  $939,000, or 79.1%  higher than the second
quarter  of  1996  other  operating  income  of  $1,187,000.  The increase was
primarily  the  result  of an increase in net security gains during the second
quarter  of  1997.

     The  $151,000, or 11.9%  increase in service charges is the result of the
6.3%  growth in average deposits eligible for service charges and an effort by
the  banks  to  enhance  the  collection  of service fees.  During this period
service  charges  on  deposits  grew  $59,000,  or  10.3%,  and overdraft fees
increased $61,000, or 10.9%.  The remaining increase is attributed to the fact
that  the  first  half  of  1997 average deposits eligible for service charges
increased  11.9%  over the first half of 1996 levels.  The 1997 second quarter
increase in service charges was 11.1%, compared to the second quarter in 1996.

     The  corporation recorded a net security gain of $704,000 in the
first  half  of 1997, compared  to a $119,000 loss in the same period in 1996.
The  second quarter 1997 net security gain was $745,000 higher than the second
quarter  of 1996.  The majority of the 1997 security gain is the result of the
sale  of equity securities held at HNC Financial Company.   From time to time,
the  Corporation  sells  investment  securities available for sale to fund the
purchase of other securities in an effort to enhance the overall return of the
portfolio.

     Income  from  the  Trust  and  Financial  Services  Department  increased
$53,000, or 7.7%, in the first six months of 1997, compared to the same period
in  1996.  This increase was the result of  both an increase in the book value
of  trust  assets  of  5.8%  from  June  30,  1996  to  June 30, 1997, and the
Corporation's  continuing  emphasis  on  marketing  the  Trust  and  Financial
Services  Department's  products and services.   The second quarter 1997 trust
fees  grew  22.4%, compared to the same period in 1996.   Other income for the
first  six  months  of 1997 increased $73,000, or 12.5%,  compared to the same
period  in  1996.    The  1997 second quarter other income grew 18.1% over the
amount  recorded  in the second quarter of  1996.  These increases were due to
higher  ATM,  merchant  credit  card  processing  and  leasing  related  fees.

     Other  operating expenses for the first six months of 1997 of $13,737,000
increased  $1,339,000,  or  10.8%, from the $12,398,000 for the same period in
1996.    The  second  quarter  of  1997  other  operating expenses grew 13.6%,
compared  to  the second quarter of 1996.   The rise in operating expenses was
due  to  higher  expenses related to three new branches opened after September
30,  1996,  increases  in equipment expenses and other expenses related to the
overall  growth  of  the  Banks.

     Employee  salaries  increased  $674,000, or 13.4% from $5,028,000 for the
first  six  months  of  1996  to $5,702,000 for the same period in 1997.   The

PAGE 13

salary increase directly related to the staffing of the three new branches was
$177,000,  or  26.3%  of  the total salary increase. The remaining increase in
salaries  reflects  cost  of  living increases, merit increases and additional
staff necessitated by current and planned future growth.  Employee benefits of
$1,736,000 expensed in the first six months of 1997, were 0.6% higher than the
employee  benefits  expensed  during  the  same  period  in  1996.  This small
increase  is  the result of the modification of the Banks' profit-sharing plan
into  a 401 (K) plan during 1996.  The profit-sharing plan was funded entirely
by  the  Banks and the modified 401 (K) plan is both Bank and employee funded.
The  second quarter of 1997 salaries and employee benefits increased 17.5% and
3.9%  ,  respectively,  compared  to  the  second  quarter  of  1996.

     Net  occupancy  expense  increased $51,000, or 5.6%, from $906,000 in the
first  six  months  of  1996 to $957,000 in the first six months of 1997.  The
second  quarter  of  1997  occupancy  expense  increased $10,000 over the same
period  in 1996.  The three new branches were responsible for these increases.
Equipment expense increased  $261,000, or 26.3% during the first six months of
1997,  compared  to  the  same  period in 1996.   The first six months of 1997
equipment  expense  related to the new branches totaled $69,000. The remainder
of  this  increase  is  due  to  both  equipment  rental, and depreciation and
maintenance  associated  with  planned increased data processing capabilities.
The  increased  data processing capabilities include equipment used to process
check  imaging and the ongoing updating of data processing equipment to manage
the  rise  in  volume  related  to  the growth of the Corporation.  The second
quarter  of  1997  furniture and equipment expenses grew $158,000, compared to
the  second  quarter  of  1996.

      Other  expenses  increased $342,000, or 9.1%, from $3,745,000 in
the  first  six months of 1996, compared to other expenses recorded during the
same  period  in  1997  of  $4,087,000.  The increase related to the three new
branches  totaled  $122,000.    The  remainder  of the growth is the result of
higher  stationery  and supplies, postage expenses and other expenses directly
related  to  the  11.4%  growth  in  the bank during this period.   The second
quarter  of  1997 other expenses grew 10.4%, compared to the second quarter in
1996.

INCOME  TAXES
- -------------

     Income tax expense is less than the amount calculated using the statutory
tax  rate  primarily  as  a  result of tax exempt income earned from state and
municipal  securities  and  loans.

BALANCE  SHEET  ANALYSIS
- ------------------------

     Total  assets  grew $65,685,000, or 6.4%, from $1,026,128,000 at December
31,  1996  to  $1,091,813,000  at June 30, 1997.  This growth was primarily in
interest  earning  assets which grew $55,975,000 to $1,026,881,000 at June 30,
1997, from $970,906,000 at December 31, 1996.   During the first six months of
1997  Federal  Funds  Sold  grew  $25,250,000,  loans  increased  $23,495,000,
investment  securities rose $9,388,000, and interest-bearing deposits in banks
declined  $2,158,000.

     Total  deposits  grew $46,310,000 from $847,699,000 at December  31, 1996
to  $894,009,000  at June 30, 1997.  This growth was due to a $18,458,000 rise
in  time  deposits,  a  $18,149,000  increase  in  money  market  accounts,  a
$9,789,000  growth  in noninterest-bearing accounts, and a $3,626,000 increase
in  savings  accounts.    Offsetting these increases was a $3,712,000 decrease
in  NOW accounts.  Other borrowings increased $11,593,000 during the first six
months  of 1997, primarily the result of an increase in Federal Home Loan Bank
borrowings.    Other  borrowings  and  deposits  are  used  to  fund  loan and
investment  growth.

CAPITAL
- -------

     Capital  formation is critical to the Corporation's well being and future
growth.    Capital  for  the  period ending June 30, 1997 was $103,893,000, an
increase  of   $6,262,000 over the end of 1996.  The increase is primarily the
result  of  the  retention of the Corporation's earnings.  Management believes
that the Corporation's current capital and liquidity positions are adequate to
support its operations.  Management is not aware of any recommendations by any
regulatory  authority  which,  if  it  were  to  be  implemented, would have a
material  adverse  effect  on  the  Corporation's  capital.

(1)  Accordingly,  at  June  30, 1997, both the Corporation and its subsidiary
banks  were  "well  capitalized"  under  FDIC  regulations.

     The  Corporation's    capital  ratios  exceed  regulatory  requirements.
Existing  minimum  regulatory  capital ratio requirements are 5.0% for primary
capital  and  6.0% for total capital.  The Corporation's primary capital ratio
was  10.31%  at    June  30,  1997, compared with 10.29% at December 31, 1996.
Since  the  Corporation's  only  capital is primary capital, the total capital
ratios  are  the  same  as  the  primary  capital  ratios.

     Pursuant  to  the  federal  regulators'  risk-based  capital  adequacy
guidelines,  the  components  of capital are called Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital.
For  the  Corporation,  Tier 1 Capital is the shareholders' equity, and Tier 2
capital  is  the allowance for loan losses.  The risk-based capital ratios are
computed  by  dividing  the  components  of  capital  by risk-adjusted assets.
Risk-adjusted assets are determined by assigning credit risk-weighting factors
from  0%  to  100%  to  various  categories  of  assets  and off-balance sheet
financial  instruments.      The minimum for the Tier 1 ratio is 4.0%, and the
total  capital  ratio  (Tier  1  plus  Tier 2 capital divided by risk-adjusted
assets)  minimum  is  8.0%.    At  June  30,  1997,  the  Corporation's Tier 1
risk-adjusted  capital  ratio  was 13.35%, and the total risk-adjusted capital
ratio was 14.60%, both well above the regulatory requirements.  The risk-based
capital  ratios  of  each  of the Corporation's commercial banks also exceeded
regulatory  requirements  at  June  30,  1997.

     To  supplement  the  risk-based  capital adequacy guidelines, the Federal
Reserve  Board  established  a  leverage  ratio guideline.  The leverage ratio
consists  of  Tier  1  capital  divided  by  quarterly  average  total assets,
excluding  intangible  assets.  The minimum leverage ratio guideline is 3% for
banking  organizations that do not anticipate significant growth and that have
well-diversified  risk, excellent asset quality, high liquidity, good earnings
and,  in  general,  are  considered  top-rated,  strong banking organizations.
Other banking organizations are expected to have ratios of at least 4% and 5%,
depending  upon  their particular condition and growth plans.  Higher leverage

PAGE 15

ratios  could be required by the particular circumstances or risk profile of a
given  banking  organization.  The Corporation's leverage ratios were 9.42% at
June  30,  1997  and  9.21%  at  December  31,  1996.

     The  year-to-date June 30, 1997 cash dividend per share of $.42 was 16.7%
higher than the cash dividend for the same period in 1996 of $.36. On June 30,
1997,  the  Corporation  paid a 5% stock dividend (five shares of common stock
for  each  100  shares  of  common stock outstanding held), to shareholders of
record  June  13,  1997.     On June 28, 1996, the Corporation paid a 5% stock
dividend  (five  shares  of  common  stock for each 100 shares of common stock
outstanding  held), to shareholders of record June 14, 1996.  Activity in both
the  Corporation's dividend reinvestment and stock purchase plan and the stock
option  plan  did  not  have a material impact on capital during the first six
months  of  1997.

LIQUIDITY
- ---------

     Liquidity  is  a  measure of the ability of the Banks to meet their needs
and  obligations on a timely basis.  For a bank, liquidity answers the ability
to meet the day-to-day demands of deposit customers, along with the ability to
fulfill  the needs of borrowing customers.  Generally, the Banks arrange their
mix  of  cash,  money  market  investments, investment securities and loans in
order  to  match  the volatility, seasonality, interest sensitivity and growth
trends  of its deposit funds.  Federal Funds sold averaged  $11,680,000 during
the  first  six  months  of  1997  and  securities available for sale averaged
$218,081,000  during  the  first  six  months of 1997, more than sufficient to
match  normal  fluctuations  in  loan demand or deposit fund supplies.  Backup
sources  of  liquidity  are  provided  by  Federal  Fund  lines carried in the
subsidiary  Banks.  Additional liquidity could be generated through borrowings
from  the  Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia and the Federal Home Loan Bank
of  Pittsburgh,  of  which  Harleysville,  Citizens  and Security are members.
Unused  lines  of  credit  at the FHLB were $174,749,000, as of June 30, 1997.

     There  are  currently a number of issues before Congress which may affect
the  Corporation  and  its business operations, and the business operations of
its subsidiaries.  However, management does not believe these issues will have
a  material  adverse  effect on liquidity, capital resources or the results of
operations.

     Recently, Pennsylvania enacted a law to permit State chartered
banking  institutions  to  sell insurance.  This follows a U. S. Supreme Court
decision  in  favor of nationwide insurance sales by banks and which also bars
states  from  blocking  insurance  sales  by  national  banks  in  towns  with
populations  of  no  more  the  5,000.    However, the Bank does not currently
anticipate  entering  into  these  activities.

     Congress  is  currently  considering  legislative  reforms  to
modernize  the  financial  services  industry,  including  repealing the Glass
Steagall  Act which prohibits commercial banks from engaging in the securities
industry.   Consequently, equity underwriting activities of banks may increase
in  the  near  future.  However, the Corporation does not currently anticipate
entering  into  these  activities.

     On  September  30,  1996,  the  President  signed into law the
Deposit  Insurance  Funds  Act of 1996 to recapitalize the Savings Association
Insurance  Fund  ("SAIF")  administered  by  the  Federal  Deposit  Insurance
Corporation  ("FDIC")  and  to  provide  for  repayment of the FICO (Financial
Institution  Collateral Obligation) bonds issued by the United States Treasury
Department.    Pursuant  to the act, during the years 1997, 1998 and 1999, the
Bank  Insurance  Fund  ("BIF") will pay $322 million of FICO debt service, and
SAIF  will  pay  $458  Million.

     Based  on  current  projected  deposit  levels  during  1997,
Management expects that the increase in the FDIC assessment rate will not have
a  material impact on earnings.  However, individual institution's assessments
will  continue  to vary according to their capital and management ratings.  As
always,  the  FDIC  will  be  able  to  raise  the assessments as necessary to
maintain  the  funds  at  their  target  capital  ratios  provided  by  law.

     The  Corporation  is  currently  analyzing  the recently enacted
changes  to  the  federal  tax  law.  The impact of such changes on liquidity,
operating results, and capital is not known at this time.  However, the impact
is  not  expected  to  be  adverse  to  the  Corporation and its subsidiaries.

PAGE 16

     From  time  to  time,  various  types  of  federal  and  state
legislation  have been proposed that could result in additional regulation of,
and restrictions on, the business of the Corporation and the Banks.  It cannot
be predicted whether such legislation will be adopted or, if adopted, how such
legislation  would affect the business of the Corporation and the Banks.  As a
consequence  of  the  extensive regulation of commercial banking activities in
the  United  States, the Corporation's and the Bank's business is particularly
susceptible  to being affected by federal legislation and regulations that may
increase the costs of doing business.  Except as specifically described above,
Management  believes  that the affect of the provisions of  the aforementioned
legislation  on liquidity, capital resources, and results of operations of the
Corporation  will be immaterial.  Management is not aware of any other current
specific  recommendations  by  regulatory authorities or proposed legislation,
which  if they were implemented, would have a material adverse effect upon the
liquidity,  capital  resources, or results of operations, although the general
cost  of  compliance  with  numerous  and  multiple federal and state laws and
regulations  does  have,  and in the future may have, a negative impact on the
Corporation's  results  of  operations.

     Further,  the  business  of the Corporation is also affected by
the state of the financial services industry in general.  As a result of legal
and  industry changes,  Management predicts that the industry will continue to
experience an increase in consolidations and mergers as the financial services
industry  strives  for greater cost efficiencies and market share.  Management
also  expects  increased  diversification  of  financial products and services
offered  by  the  Bank  and  its  competitors.   Management believes that such
consolidations and mergers, and diversification's of products and services may
enhance  its  competitive  position  as  a  community  bank.

Item  1. Legal  Proceedings.
- ---------------------------
