A.   Basis of Presentation:

     The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in
     accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation
     S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes

     that may be experienced for the year ending December 31, 1996 or any other
     interim period.  For further information, refer to the Consolidated
     Financial Statements and Footnotes included in the Company's Annual Report

     Corporation (Omega), a bank holding company, and the combined results of
     its wholly-owned banking and non-banking subsidiaries.

B.   Accounting Changes

     Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived
     Assets to be Disposed Of - Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
     121



     Omega adopted SFAS 121 "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
     and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of", as of January 1, 1996. This
     statement establishes accounting standards for the impairment of long-lived
     assets, certain identifiable intangibles, and goodwill related to those
     assets to be held and used and for long-lived assets and certain
     identifiable intangibles to be disposed of. There was no material effect on
     the Corporation's financial condition or results of operation upon adoption
     of this pronouncement.

     Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights - Statement of Financial
     Accounting Standards No. 122



     Omega adopted SFAS 122 "Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights", as of
     January 1, 1996. This statement prescribes a single procedure for the
     capitalization of mortgage servicing rights acquired either through loan
     origination or through purchase transactions. There was no material effect
     on the Corporation's financial condition or results of operation upon
     adoption of this pronouncement.

     Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Statement of Financial Accounting
     Standards No. 123



     Omega adopted SFAS 123 "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", as of
     January 1, 1996. This statement establishes a fair value-based method of
     accounting for stock options. It requires the use of that method for
     transactions with non-employees and encourages its use for transactions
     with employees. The Corporation adopted this method of accounting for only
     its Director Stock Option Plan, which resulted in no material effect on
     Omega's financial condition or results of operation.

C.   Commitments and Contingent Liabilities:

     In the ordinary course of business, Omega and its subsidiaries make
     commitments to extend credit to their customers.  At September 30, 1996 and
     December 31, 1995 standby letters of credit issued and outstanding amounted
     to $15,128,000 and $15,770,000, respectively.  These letters of credit are
     not reflected in the accompanying financial statements.  Management does
     not anticipate any significant losses as a result of these transactions.

     At September 30, 1996, the Corporation had $103,511,000 outstanding in
     unused lines of credit commitments extended to its customers.  Of this
     amount, $28,689,000, or 27.7%, are commitments to consumers for home equity
     lines of credit and credit card limits.  The remainder, $74,822,000, are
     commercial commitments.

D.   Earnings Per Share Data:

     Primary earnings per share is computed based on the weighted average number
     of shares and common stock equivalents outstanding during each period.
     Primary earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings after
     preferred stock dividends by the weighted average number of shares and
     dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding.  The outstanding preferred
     stock is not a common stock equivalent.  On a fully-diluted basis, both
     earnings and shares outstanding are adjusted to assume the conversion of
     convertible preferred stock from the date of issue.

</TABLE>


F.   Mergers and Acquisitions

     On January 11, 1995, Omega entered into an Agreement and Plan of
     Reorganization with Montour Bank ("Montour"), a bank incorporated under the
     Pennsylvania Banking Code of 1965. This merger was approved by the Board of
     Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Federal Deposit Insurance
     Corporation and the Department of Banking of the Commonwealth of
     Pennsylvania, as well as the stockholders of Montour, and was consummated
     on July 31, 1995.

     The transaction was accounted for under the purchase method. For each share
     of Montour, shareholders received, at their election and subject to certain
     adjustments, one-half share of Omega common stock or $12.00 in cash, or a
     combination of stock and cash, with 43.1% of the total outstanding shares
     being converted to cash. Warrant holders received $2.00 per warrant. Total
     consideration for the acquisition was $5,727,000 in the aggregate, with
     123,957 shares of Omega stock issued and $2,442,000 paid in cash. Montour's
     assets at July 31, 1995 were $44,641,000.


G.   Defined Benefit Plan

     During 1994, management developed a plan to terminate its defined benefit
     plan and settle the vested benefits of the plan's participants. In
     anticipation of the execution of management's plan, Omega froze the accrual
     of benefits under the Omega defined benefit plan effective April 15, 1994.
     The termination was approved by Omega's Board of Directors during 1995 and
     the Corporation received notification of the Internal Revenue Service's
     approval of the termination in September 1996. During 1995, Omega purchased
     an annuity contract which effectively settled the Corporation's obligations
     to retired employees receiving benefit. Management expects to complete the
     termination of the defined benefit plan and settlement of the active
     employees' vested benefits in 1996. The active employees have several
     options regarding the settlement of their vested benefits. These options
     include a lump sum payment, an annuity purchase, a transfer of their vested
     benefits to a defined contribution plan or a transfer of their vested
     benefits to an individual retirement account. In completing the remaining
     settlement of the defined benefit plan, the shortfall, if any, between the
     then fair value of plan assets and the final settlement amount of plan
     obligations will be charged against earnings. However, management does not
     believe the net impact of the termination of Omega's defined benefit plan
     will have a material effect on Omega's financial position or results of
     operations.

H.   Investment Considerations

     In analyzing whether to make, or to continue, an investment in Omega,
     investors should consider, among other factors, certain investment
     considerations more particularly described in "Item 1: Business -
     Investment Considerations" in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for
     the year ended December 31, 1995, a copy of which can be obtained from
     David N. Thiel, Senior Vice President, Omega Financial Corporation, 366
     Walker Drive, State College, Pennsylvania  16801.

I.   Forward Looking Statements

     The information contained in this Report on Form 10-Q contains forward
     looking statements (as such term is defined in the Securities Exchange Act
     of 1934 and the regulations thereunder), including without limitation,
     statements as to the future loan and deposit volumes, the allowance and
     provision for possible loan losses, future interest rates and their effect
     on Omega's financial condition or results of operations, the classification
     of Omega's investment portfolio and other statements as to trends or
     management's beliefs, expectations or opinions. Such forward looking
     statements are subject to risks and uncertainties and may be affected by
     various factors which may cause actual results to differ materially from
     those in the forward looking statements. Certain of these risks,
     uncertainties and other factors are discussed in this Report on Form 10-Q,
     the Corporation's 1995 Annual Report or in Omega's Annual Report on Form
     10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995, copies of which may be obtained
     from Omega upon request and without charge (except for the exhibits
     thereto).

Item 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
                                 OF OPERATIONS



1.   Comparison of the Nine and Three Months Ended September 30, 1996 and 1995

                               Operations
                               ----------

     A.   Nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995

     For the first nine months of 1996, income before taxes increased by
     $2,271,000, or 15.4%, compared to the same period in 1995. A $1,790,000, or
     5.6% increase in the corporation's income from credit activities was a
     significant factor in this achievement.
     Non-interest income increased $555,000, or 9.3%, while non-interest expense
     increased by $74,000, or 0.3%, resulting in a $481,000 decrease in net
     operating expense for the period.

     The tax provision for the first nine months of 1996 increased by $816,000,
     or 18.9% when compared to the first nine months of 1995. The effective tax
     rate rose to 30.2% in 1996 from 29.3% in 1995, as a consequence of a
     continued reduction in tax-exempt income resulting from a smaller
     percentage of tax-exempt investments to total assets in 1996 than in 1995.

     B.   Three months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995

     The third quarter's income before income taxes increased $555,000, or
     10.5%, when compared to the same period in 1995.  A $410,000 increase in
     net interest income was primarily responsible for the earnings improvement.

     After the income tax provision (which increased by $234,000, or 15.3%
     compared to the same period in 1995) was deducted from earnings, net income
     improved $321,000, or 8.5%, over the third quarter of 1995.  The effective
     tax rate for the third quarter of 1996 increased to 30.2% from 28.9% in the
     third quarter of 1995 as levels of tax exempt investments have fallen
     slightly.

     Following are selected key ratios for the period:

                                           Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended

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

     A.   Nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995

     Omega's net interest income for the first nine months of 1996 improved by
     $2,087,000, or 6.4%, with most of the improvement due to volume increases.
     Average earning assets grew by $60,710,000 since September of 1995.
     Approximately 47%, or $28,777,000, of the increase resulted  from the
     purchase of Montour Bank, which was consummated in the third quarter of
     1995. The remaining increase of $31,933,000 resulted from other growth.
     Average deposits increased by $48,687,000, or 6.0% (with Montour Bank's
     $24,973,000), in 1996 as compared to the previous year. Total funding
     sources cost 3.19% in 1996, compared to 3.18% in 1995, while earning assets
     yielded 8.06% in 1996 and in 1995, resulting in a 1 basis point decrease in
     net interest margin.

     B.   Three months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995

     The net interest margin, at 4.88% for the third quarter of 1996, was 7
     basis points lower than in the third quarter of 1995. As the prime rate was
     50 basis points lower during the third quarter of 1996 than in the third
     quarter of 1995, yields on prime-based loans were generally lower in 1996.
     As a result, yields on average earning assets were 22 basis points lower in
     1996 than in 1995, while the cost to fund earning assets fell by only 15
     basis points.

     Following are key net interest margin ratios (annualized):
                                      Three Months Ended    Nine Months Ended
                                         September 30,        September 30,
                                      
                                        1996       1995       1996      1995

Yield on average earning assets....     8.02%     8.24%       8.06%     8.06%

Cost to fund earning assets........     3.14      3.29        3.19      3.18

Net interest margin................     4.88      4.95        4.87      4.88

Net interest margin-tax equivalent.     5.04      5.13        5.03      5.06

     At September 30, 1996, Omega had $415,621,000 of earning assets scheduled
     to reprice over the next twelve months as compared to $414,123,000 in
     interest bearing liabilities.  This means that if rates rose by 100 basis
     points on October 1, Omega's net interest income over a one year period
     would increase by $1,093,000, or 2.3%, assuming that the volumes do not
     grow and the mix of the balance sheet does not change.  Conversely, a
     reduction in rates would have a negative impact of a similar magnitude.

                        Other Income and Expense
                        ------------------------

     A..  Nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995

     Other income increased by $555,000 for the first nine months of 1996 when
     compared to the same period last year. Service fees increased by $302,000,
     or 8.1%, and trust fees increased in 1996 by $153,000, or 8.7% over 1995.
     Net security gains, at $561,000 through September of 1996, were $115,000,
     or 25.8% ahead of 1995.

     As a percentage of average assets, other income, net of security gains and
     losses, annualized was .79% for the first nine months of 1996 as compared
     to .78% in 1995.

     Other expenses were $74,000, or 0.3% higher for the first nine months of
     1996 than for the same period in 1995. Salaries and employee benefits
     increased by $527,000, or 4.4% while occupancy, equipment and data
     processing service expenses decreased by a total of $121,000, or 2.8%.
     Approximately one half of the net increase of $406,000 is due to the
     addition of Montour Bank. FDIC insurance premium expense has been virtually
     eliminated at Omega Financial Corporation in 1996, due to its banks'  top
     ratings within the FDIC system, resulting in a decrease in premium expense
     of $846,000. Other non-interest expenses have increased by $514,000, or
     8.2%. Expenses associated with the addition of Montour Bank account for
     $269,000, or 52% of the total increase.

     As a percentage of average assets, annualized expenses for the nine month
     period ending September 30, 1996 was 3.10% as compared to 3.30% for the
     same period in 1995.

     B.   Three months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995

     Other income increased $233,000, or 12.0% for the third quarter of 1996 as
     compared to the same period in 1995.  In 1996 service fee income increased
     by $119,000, or 9.2%, and trust fee income increased by $32,000, or 5.5%.
     Net gains from the sale of investment securities increased by $101,000 in
     1996.

     As a percentage of average assets, other income net of security gains and
     losses annualized was .80% for the third quarter of 1996 as compared to
     .78% in 1995.

     than for the same period in 1995.  Salaries and employee benefits were
     $253,000, or 6.3% higher in 1996 as in 1995.  Occupancy expense has
     decreased by 32.6%, while equipment and data processing expense decreased
     by 4.1%. FDIC insurance premiums increased in 1996, as 1995 results
     reflected a refund from the FDIC. Other non-interest expenses have

     As a percentage of average assets, annualized expenses for the quarter
     ended September 30, 1996 were 3.07% and for the same period in 1995 were

</TABLE>
     Total investment securities as a percentage of total assets at September
     30, 1996 and December 31, 1995 were 24.0% and 22.1%, respectively.
     Securities maturing or repriceable in one year or less comprised 38.7% of
     the total investment securities of $243,526,000 as of September 30, 1996,
     as compared to 37.9% of total investment securities of $219,708,000 as of
     December 31, 1995. There was $35,000 in investments in instruments of
     foreign countries on September 30, 1996.

3.   Interest Bearing Deposits with Other Financial Institutions

     As of September 30, 1996, Omega had $528,000 in interest bearing deposits
     with other banks. There were no investments in instruments issued by U.S.
     branches of banks of foreign countries or deposits in banks of foreign
     countries included in the September 30, 1996 balance.

4.   Loans

     Net loans in the first nine months remained relatively flat, with only a
     modest increase of  0.2%, bringing the total to $692,923,000.

     Changes in the allowance for loan losses for the nine months ended
     September 30, 1996 and 1995 were as follows (in thousands):


                                                  1996           1995

                                               =========      =========




     The allowance for loan losses is considered adequate by management to cover
     possible uncollectible loans, as shown in the following table depicting
     non-performing loans.  Management is also of the opinion that the level of
     loan loss provision is adequate to maintain the allowance at an acceptable
     level.  The allowance for loan losses at September 30, 1996 and 1995
     represented 1.68% and 1.64%, respectively, of the total loans outstanding,
     net of unearned interest.

     Non-performing loans as percent of allowance     29.6%          39.7%

5.   Deposits and Other Sources of Funds

     Deposits provide the primary source of funding for loans and investment
     securities.  During the nine month period ended September 30, 1996, total
     deposits increased by $8,182,000 or 1.0%, with interest bearing funds
     increasing $11.9 million and non-interest bearing deposits decreasing by
     $3.7 million.


6.   Regulatory Capital Compliance

     Risk-based capital standards are issued by bank regulatory authorities in
     the United States. These capital standards relate a banking company's
     capital to the risk profile of its assets and provide the basis for which
     all banking companies and banks are evaluated in terms of capital adequacy.
     The risk-based capital standards require all banks to have Tier 1 capital
     of at least 4% and total capital, including Tier 1 capital, of at least 8%
     of risk-adjusted assets.  Tier 1 capital includes common stockholders'
     equity and qualifying perpetual preferred stock together with related
     surpluses and retained earnings.  Total capital is comprised of Tier 1
     capital, limited life preferred stock, qualifying debt instruments, and the
     reserves for possible loan losses. Banking regulators have also issued
     leverage ratio requirements.  The leverage ratio requirement is measured as
     the ratio of Tier 1 capital to adjusted average assets. The table below
     provides a comparison of Omega's and its bank subsidiaries' risk-based
     capital ratios and leverage ratios to the minimum regulatory requirements
     for the periods indicated.

     Pursuant to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of
     1991 ("FDICIA"), the FDIC has issued a rule which sets the capital level
     for each of the five capital categories established in FDICIA.  As required
     by FDICIA, the regulations specify the levels at which an insured
     institution would be considered "well capitalized", "adequately
     capitalized", "undercapitalized", "significantly undercapitalized", or
     "critically undercapitalized".  At September 30, 1996, Omega and each of
     its banking subsidiaries met the regulatory definition of a "well
     capitalized" financial institution, i.e., a leverage ratio exceeding 5%,
     Tier 1 capital exceeding 6%, and total capital exceeding 10%.
