                  OMEGA FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



NINE AND THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 AND 1996

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
     required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial
     statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments, including
     normal recurring accruals, considered necessary for a fair presentation
     have been included.  Operating results for the nine months and three months
     ended September 30, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results that
     may be experienced for the year ending December 31, 1997 or any other
     interim period.  For further information, refer to the Consolidated
     Financial Statements and Footnotes included in the Company's Annual Report
     on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996.

     The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include Omega Financial
     Corporation (Omega), a bank holding company, and the combined results of
     its wholly-owned banking and non-banking subsidiaries.

B.   Common Stock Split

     On March 25, 1997, the Board of Directors declared a three for two stock
     split on the Company's common stock, effected in the form of a dividend to
     shareholders of record on April 18, 1997. The split was paid on April 30,
     1997, first via the reissuance of shares in treasury, to the extent
     available, with the remainder of the split paid via authorized but unissued
     shares. All share and per share data presented has been restated to reflect
     the split.

C.   Current and Pending Accounting Changes

     Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 125 - Accounting for

     Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of

     Liabilities


     Omega adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 125
     "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and
     Extinguishments of Liabilities", as of January 1, 1997. This statement
     provides accounting and reporting standards for transfers and servicing of
     financial assets and extinguishment of liabilities. These standards are
     based on a consistent application of a financial-components approach that
     focuses on control. The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) has
     also issued Statement No. 127, "Deferral of the Effective Date of Certain
     Provisions of FASB Statement No. 125", which delays adoption of certain
     components of Statement No. 125 until January 1, 1998. There was no
     material effect on the Corporation's financial condition or results of
     operation upon the partial adoption of this pronouncement, and management
     expects no material effect on the Corporation's financial condition or
     results of operation upon complete adoption.

     Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 - Earnings per Share


     The FASB has issued Statement No. 128, "Earnings per Share", which is
     effective for financial statements for both interim and annual periods
     ending after December 15, 1997. Early adoption is prohibited. The statement
     replaces primary earnings per share (EPS) with basic EPS and changes the
     presentation requirements of per-share amounts relating to accounting
     changes, discontinued operations and extraordinary items. Management
     believes that the adoption of this statement will not have a material
     effect on Omega's EPS calculation.


     Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130 - Reporting

     Comprehensive Income


     The FASB has issued Statement No. 130, "Reporting of Comprehensive Income",
     which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. This
     statement establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive
     income and its components in a full set of general purpose financial
     statements. Comprehensive income, as defined by Statement 130, is the total
     of net income and all other nonowner changes in equity. Management believes
     that the adoption of this statement will not have a material effect on the
     Corporation's financial condition or results of operations.

D.   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, 1997 and
     December 31, 1996 standby letters of credit issued and outstanding amounted
     to $15,426,000 and $15,197,000, 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, 1997, the Corporation had $126,835,000 outstanding in
     unused lines of credit commitments extended to its customers.  Of this
     amount, $30,211,000, or 23.8%, are commitments to consumers for home equity
     lines of credit and credit card limits.  The remainder, $96,624,000, are
     commercial commitments.

E.   Earnings Per Share Data:

     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 during each period.  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.

F.   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 -

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, 1997 and 1996

                               Operations


     A.   Nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996

     For the first nine months of 1997, income before taxes increased by
     $942,000, or 5.5%, compared to the same period in 1996. A $671,000, or
     10.3% increase in the Corporation's non-interest income was a significant
     factor in this achievement.

     Income from credit activities increased $390,000, or 1.2%, while non-
     interest expense increased by $119,000, or 0.5%.

     The tax provision for the first nine months of 1997 increased by $396,000,
     or 7.7% when compared to the first nine months of 1996. The effective tax
     rate rose to 30.8% in 1997 from 30.2% in 1996, as a consequence of a
     continued reduction in tax-exempt income resulting from a lower level of
     tax-exempt investments in 1997 than in 1996. Net income increased by
     $546,000, or 4.6%, in the first nine months of 1997 as compared to the same
     period in 1996.

     B.   Three months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996
     The third quarter's income before income taxes increased $129,000, or 2.2%,
     when compared to the same period in 1996.  A $213,000 increase in non-
     interest income was primarily responsible for the increase. In addition,
     income from credit activities increased by $98,000, or 0.9%, while non-
     interest expense increased by $182,000, or 2.3%.

     After the income tax provision (which increased by $42,000, or 2.4%
     compared to the same period in 1996) was deducted from earnings, net income
     improved $87,000, or 2.1%, over the third quarter of 1996.  The effective
     tax rate for the third quarter of 1997 was 30.2%, the same as in the third
     quarter of 1996.

     Following are selected key ratios for the period:

                                         Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended

                          Net Interest Income


     A.   Nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996

     Omega's net interest income for the first nine months of 1997 improved by 
     $409,000, or 1.2%, with most of the improvement due to rate changes. 
     Average earning assets grew by $6,539,000 since September of 1996. The 0.7%
     increase in average earning assets resulted primarily from investment 
     securities activity, as average loans outstanding decreased by $13,434,000,
     or 1.9%. While the Corporation has experienced growth in the commercial 
     loan portfolio, outstanding consumer loans have declined, particularly
     those secured by real estate. Average deposits decreased by $8,188,000, or 
     1.0%, in 1997 as compared to the previous year. Total cost to fund earning
     assets was 3.11% in 1997, compared to 3.19% in 1996, while earning assets 
     yielded 8.00% in 1997 compared to 8.06% in 1996, resulting in a 2 basis 
     point increase in net interest margin.

     B.   Three months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996

     The net interest margin, at 4.89% for the third quarter of 1997, was 1 
     basis point higher than the third quarter of 1996, with a $2,358,000 or 
     0.2% increase in average earning assets resulting in a 0.5% increase in 
     net interest income.

     Following are key net interest margin ratios (annualized):


                                          Three Months EndedNine Months Ended
                                            September 30,     September 30,

Net interest margin - tax equivalent       5.06      5.04      5.06     5.03

     At September 30, 1997, Omega had $395,743,000 of earning assets scheduled 
     to reprice over the next twelve months as compared to $436,748,000 in 
     interest bearing liabilities, resulting in a negative gap of $41,005,000, 
     or 4% of assets.  In order to predict net interest income at risk over the 
     next twelve months based on hypothetical rate movements, a rate shock 
     simulation was performed on the balance sheet. Results incidate that 
     Omega's net interest income over the next twelve months is at risk to an
     immediate 100 basis point decline in interest rates, by 1.1%, or $514,000. 
     Conversely, an increase of 100 basis points indicates an increase in net 
     interest income of $593,000, or 1.3% over a twelve month period. These 
     simulations assume no volume or mix changes in the balance sheet.

                        Other Income and Expense


     A.   Nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996

     Other income increased by $671,000 for the first nine months of 1997 when 
     compared to the same period last year. Service fees increased by $414,000, 
     or 10.2%, and trust fees increased in 1997 by $116,000, or 6.0% over 1996. 
     Net security gains, at $714,000 through September of 1997, were 27.3% ahead
     of 1996.

     As a percentage of average assets, annualized other income, net of security
     gains and losses, was .86% for the first nine months of 1997 as compared to
     .79% in 1996.

     Other expenses were $119,000, or 0.5% lower for the first nine months of 
     1997 than for the same period in 1996. Salaries and employee benefits 
     increased by $369,000, or 2.9% while occupancy, equipment, data processing
     service and other expenses decreased by a total of $250,000, or 2.3%.

     As a percentage of average assets, annualized expenses for the nine month 
     periods ending September 30, 1997 and 1996 was 3.10%.

     B.   Three months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996

     Other income increased $213,000, or 9.8% for the third quarter of 1997 as 
     compared to the same period in 1996.  Service fee income in 1997 outpaced 
     that in 1996 by $144,000, or 10.2%, while trust fee income was 
     approximately the same in the third quarter of 1997 as in the third quarter
     of 1996. Net gains from the sale of investment securities increased by 
     $65,000 in 1997. As a percentage of average assets, annualized other income
     net of security gains and losses was .85% for the third quarter of1997 as 
     compared to .80% in 1996.

     Other expenses were $182,000, or 2.3% higher for the third quarter of 1997 
     than for the same period in 1996.  Salaries and employee benefits were 
     $102,000, or 2.4% higher in 1997 than in 1996.  Occupancy expense has 
     increased by 8.6%, while equipment and data processing expense increased by
     9.8%. Other non-interest expenses have decreased by 1.9%, or $42,000.

     As a percentage of average assets, annualized expenses for the quarter 
     ended September 30, 1997 were 3.13% and for the same period in 1996 were 
     3.07%.

2.   Investment Securities

     Management of the investment portfolio entails evaluation and realignment 
     of the size and mix of the portfolio in order to balance various 
     characteristics of the balance sheet, including asset quality, liquidity, 
     yield relationships, maturity and tax planning.  The following schedule 
     describes characteristics of the investment portfolio as of September 30, 
     1997 and December 31, 1996.

</TABLE>


     Total investment securities as a percentage of total assets at September
     30, 1997 and December 31, 1996 were 25.6% and 24.0%, respectively.
     Securities maturing or repricing in one year or less comprised 39.0% of the
     total investment securities of $261,132,000 as of September 30, 1997, as
     compared to 40.1% of total investment securities of $241,846,000 as of
     December 31, 1996. There was $215,000 in investments in instruments of
     foreign countries on September 30, 1997.

3.   Interest Bearing Deposits with Other Financial Institutions

     As of September 30, 1997, Omega had $902,000 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, 1997 balance sheet.

4.   Loans

     Net loans in the first nine months of 1997 increased by $747,000, or 0.1%,
     bringing the total to $685,524,000 at September 30, 1997. Increasing
     competitive pressure in consumer lending has caused a slight decrease in
     personal loans, offsetting the increase in commercial and real estate
     loans.

     Changes in the allowance for loan losses for the nine months ended
     September 30, 1997 and 1996 were as follows (in thousands):


                                                 1997           1996

     Balance at January 1.................... $11,820        $11,668

     Charge-offs.............................    (948)          (866)
     Recoveries..............................     130            295

     Balance at September 30.................  $11,775        $11,851





     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, 1997 and 1996
     represented 1.69% and 1.68%, respectively, of the total loans outstanding,
     net of unearned interest.

     Set forth below is an analysis of Omega's non-performing loans as of
     September 30, 1997 as compared to December 31, 1996

                                Non-performing Loans

                                                                                  September 30,              December 31,
                                                                                       1997                       1996

     Non-accrual loans.........................................................        $4,862                    $2,079
     Accruing loans past due 90 days or more...................................         1,656                     1,241
     Restructured loans........................................................            25                        14

     Total non-performing loans................................................        $6,543                    $3,334



     Non-performing loans as percent of allowance..............................        55.6%                      28.2%
     </TABLE>

     The increase in non-performing loans from December 31, 1996 to September
     30, 1997 is primarily due to the addition of one large commercial loan with
     a total outstanding balance of $2,516,000 to the non-accrual category.

5.   Deposits and Other Sources of Funds

     Deposits provide the primary source of funding for loans and investment
     securities. As of September 30, 1997, total deposits increased by
     $4,723,000 or 0.6%, as compared to December 31, 1996,  with essentially the
     entire increase consisting of interest-bearing deposits.

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 ratio 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, 1997, 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%.
