Total assets increased $43,888,000, or 9.8%, since December 31, 1996. The
Corporation continued to leverage its strong capital base by purchasing
investments funded by strong deposit growth and other borrowings. The strategy
increases net interest income and provides some protection to the interest rate
margin in the event of falling interest rates. Investment securities increased
$33,320,000, or 26.0%, since the end of 1996. Holdings of mortgage-backed
securities and collateralized mortgage obligations increased $19,645,000.
Holdings of municipal bonds and equity securities increased $10,813,000. Net
loans grew $9,356,000, or 3.3%. Growth in commercial real estate loans
accounted for most of the growth in net loans.
Total deposits grew $31,342,000, or 8.7%, since December 31, 1996. Successful
promotions of various certificate of deposit products helped increase time
deposits $14,428,000. The Indexed Money Fund, a savings product paying money
market interest rates, continues to attract new deposits. Savings deposits
increased $7,903,000, or 8.2%, since yearend. Noninterest-bearing demand
deposits increased $9,822,000. Some of the increase was caused by fluctuations
in commercial account balances. Other borrowings increased $9,253,000. These
balances are made up of customer repurchase agreements and borrowings from the
Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh.

LOAN QUALITY
Impaired loans at June 30, 1997 were $2,502,000 compared to $2,682,000 at
December 31, 1996. Nonaccrual loans at June 30, 1997 were $674,000 compared to
$615,000 at December 31, 1996. Overall loan quality remains very good.
Loan charge-offs and recoveries for the first half of 1997 were $136,000 and
$80,000, respectively. All loans charged-off in 1997 were consumer. Second
quarter net charge-offs were $42,000. Charge-offs are expected to remain at
current levels in the third quarter.
RESULTS OF OPERATION
Drovers Bancshares recorded net income of $2,800,000 and $2,359,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
The return on assets (ROA) and return on equity (ROE) for the six months ended
June 30, 1997 was 1.20% and 14.47%, respectively. This compares to an ROA
and ROE for the same period last year of 1.22% and 13.30%, respectively. Net
income for the quarter was $1,410,000 compared to $1,211,000 for the second
quarter last year and $1,390,000 for the first quarter of 1997. The ROA and ROE
for the second quarter of 1997 was 1.18% and 14.42%, respectively.

</TABLE>
The corporation's largest category of earning assets consists of loans to
businesses and individuals. The majority of earning assets are supported by
interest-bearing commercial and consumer deposits and shareholders' equity.
Changes in net interest income are determined by variations in the volume and
mix of assets and liabilities as well as their sensitivity to interest rate
movements.

PART I FINANCIAL INFORMATION
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)
NET INTEREST INCOME, continued
Net interest income increased $435,000, or 11.6%, for the second quarter and
$896,000, or 12.1% for the first half of 1997. Lower net interest spreads and
margins were more than offset by an increase in earning assets. Average earning
assets were $436,440,000 in the first half of 1997 compared to $357,843,000 a
year ago. This represents an increase of $78,597,000, or 22.0%. The net
interest spread and margin for the first half of 1997 was 3.34% and 3.83%,
respectively. This compares to a spread and margin for the first six months of
1996 of 3.64% and 4.15%, respectively. The second quarter net interest spread
and margin was 3.25% and 3.74%, respectively. The spread and margin for the
first quarter of 1997 was 3.43% and 3.92%, respectively. The increase in lower
yielding investment securities as a percent of earning assets and the reliance
on higher yielding funding has caused the spread and margin to decline.
The Corporation sold about $4,800,000 in investment securities during the second
quarter. Most of the securities had variable interest rates. The proceeds were
invested in fixed rate securities and variable rate securities with rates fixed
for the first one to five years. The new holdings will increase net interest
income in 1997 and help protect the Corporation from interest rate declines.
The provision for loan losses was $66,000 for the quarter and $186,000 for the
first half of 1997. The second quarter provision was lowered due to lower than
anticipated year-to-date net charge-offs and continued strong quality of the
loan portfolio. The reserve for loan losses to loan ratio was 1.11% at June 30,
1997.

NONINTEREST INCOME, continued
Noninterest income increased $148,000 for the second quarter and $151,000 for
the first six months of 1997. Gains from the sale of investment securities and
the implementation of a $1.00 surcharge on non-customers using our automated
teller machines caused the second quarter increase. For the first six months of
1997, trust income increased $42,000, or 8.4%. Fees from employee benefit plan
management increased $30,000. Total book value of assets under management
increased 31.1% over the past twelve months. Service charges on deposit
accounts increased $79,000 over last year as checking account fees, overdraft
charges and ATM fees all increased. Net gains on residential mortgage loan
sales increased $41,000 on total year-to-date sales of $13,384,000. Other
income increased $116,000 for the first six months of 1997 due to implementation
of ATM surcharges and an increase in letter of credit fees.

Noninterest expense increased $422,000, or 14.6%, compared to the second quarter
of 1996. For the first six months, noninterest income increased $480,000, or
8.1%.
Salaries and employee benefits increased $184,000 in the second quarter and
$241,000 year-to-date. Salaries alone accounted for the increase as benefit
expenses remained stable. Increased staffing levels caused the salaries
increase. Full-time equivalents at June 30, 1997 were 208 compared to 205 at
March 31, 1997 and 198 at June 30, 1996.
Furniture and equipment expense increased $61,000 for the second quarter and

main frame computer upgrade accounted for most of the increase.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)
NONINTEREST EXPENSE, continued
Other noninterest expenses increased $92,000 in the second quarter. Increases
in data processing, legal and professional services caused the increase. A
$52,000 gain from the first quarter sale of a previously closed branch office
held the year-to-date increase in other noninterest expense to $85,000.
TAXATION
The Corporation recognized a provision for income taxes of $841,000 for the
six months ending June 30, 1997. The average tax rate, applicable income
taxes divided by income before taxes, was 23.1%. This compares to an average
tax rate of 18.3% for all of 1996. The lower tax rate in 1996 was caused by
$633,000 in tax credits, including $397,000 in historic tax credits received
from the Elm View Limited Partnership. The Partnership owns a 32 apartment low
income housing development which opened in the first quarter of 1996. Estimated
tax credits for 1997 are $273,000. In order to lessen the impact of lower tax
credits, the Corporation increased its holdings in tax free investments. Since
December 31, 1996, holdings of municipal bonds and equity securities, mainly
preferred stock, increased $10,813,000.

similar to the Dover branch opened in 1996. Penvale will open in November.
Construction will begin about September 15 on a stand alone branch office in
