                  OMEGA FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



SIX AND THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998 AND 1997

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 six months and three months
     ended June 30, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may
     be experienced for the year ending December 31, 1998 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, 1997.

     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.   Current and Pending Accounting Changes

     Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130 - Reporting
     Comprehensive Income

     On January 1, 1998, Omega adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
     Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" (SFAS 130). SFAS 130
     establishes standards for reporting and displaying comprehensive income and
     its components. Comprehensive income, as defined by SFAS 130, is the total
     of net income and all other nonowner changes in equity. Total comprehensive
     income for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 was $9,109,000 and
     $8,883,000, respectively. For the three month period ended June 30, 1998
     and 1997, total comprehensive income was $4,410,000 and $5,158,000. The
     difference between net income and comprehensive income for the above
     periods is due to unrealized gains and losses on marketable securities.

     Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 _ Accounting for
     Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

     In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS 133,
     "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities". The
     statement establishes accounting and reporting standards requiring that
     every derivative be recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or
     liability measured at its fair value. SFAS 133 requires that changes in the
     derivative's fair value be recognized currently in earnings unless specific
     hedge accounting criteria are met. Special accounting for qualifying hedges
     allows a derivative's gains and losses to offset related results on the
     hedged item in the income statement, and requires that a company must
     formally document, designate, and assess the effectiveness of transactions
     that receive hedge accounting.

     This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999.
     Upon adoption, Omega expects no material impact on its financial
     statements.

C.   Commitments and Contingent Liabilities:

     In the ordinary course of business, Omega and its subsidiaries make
     commitments to extend credit to their customers.  At June 30, 1998 and
     December 31, 1997 standby letters of credit issued and outstanding amounted
     to $16,907,000 and $14,827,000, 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 June 30, 1998, the Corporation had $117,034,000 outstanding in unused
     lines of credit commitments extended to its customers.  Of this amount,
     $37,070,000, or 31.7%, are commitments to consumers for home equity and
     other lines of credit.  The remainder, $79,964,000, are commercial
     commitments.

D.   Earnings Per Share Data:

     Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common
     stockholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the
     period. On a diluted basis, both earnings and shares outstanding are
     adjusted to assume the conversion of all potentially dilutive securities
     into common stock.

                                 OF OPERATIONS


1.   Comparison of the Six and Three Months Ended June 30, 1998 and 1997

                          Operations Overview

     A.   Six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997

     For the first six months of 1998, income before taxes increased by $65,000,
     or 0.5%, compared to the same period in 1997. Income from credit activities
     was maintained at close to the same level in 1998 as in 1997. Non-interest
     expenses increased by $429,000 while non-interest income increased by
     $441,000, resulting in the modest increase in income before taxes.

     The tax provision for the first six months of 1998 decreased by $34,000, or
     0.9% when compared to the first six months of 1997. The effective tax rate
     fell to 30.6% in 1998 from 31.1% in 1997, as a result of an increase in
     tax-exempt income due to higher levels of of tax-exempt investments in 1998
     than in 1997. Net income increased by $99,000, or 1.2%, in the first six
     months of 1998 as compared to the same period in 1997.

     B.   Three months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997

     The second quarter's income before income taxes decreased $159,000, or
     2.5%, when compared to the same period in 1997.  Although non-interest
     income increased $193,000, income from credit activities decreased by
     $20,000, or 0.2%, and non-interest expense increased by $332,000, or 4.3%.

     After the income tax provision (which decreased by $49,000, or 2.5%
     compared to the same period in 1997) was deducted from earnings, net income
     was $110,000, or 2.5%, lower than the second quarter of 1997.  The
     effective tax rate for the second quarter of 1998 was 30.9%, the same as in
     the second quarter of 1997.


     Following are selected key ratios for the period:

                          Net Interest Income

     A.   Six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997

     Omega's net interest income for the first six months of 1998 improved by
     $23,000, or 0.1%. Average earning assets grew by $3,803,000 since June
     1997. The 0.4% increase in average earning assets resulted primarily from
     growth in the real estate loan portfolio, which increased by $4,814,000, or
     1.4% and the tax-free commercial loan portfolio which increased by
     $7,165,000, or 105.1%. This was partially offset by a decline in the
     personal loan average outstanding balances of $10,817,000. The net result
     is  that outstanding total loans have increased by $1,283,000. Average
     deposits decreased by $8,242,000, or 1.0%, in 1998 as compared to the
     previous year. Total cost to fund earning assets was 3.03% in 1998,
     compared to 3.11% in 1997, while earning assets yielded 7.89% in 1998
     compared to 7.99% in 1997, resulting in a 2 basis point decrease in net
     interest margin.

     B.   Three months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997

     The net interest margin, at 4.88% for the second quarter of 1998, was 6
     basis points lower than the second quarter of 1997, with a $7,101,000 or
     0.7% increase in average earning assets resulting in a 0.3% decrease in net
     interest income.

     Following are key net interest margin ratios (annualized):

</TABLE>


     At June 30, 1998, Omega had $395,840,000 of earning assets scheduled to
     reprice over the next twelve months as compared to $424,409,000 in interest
     bearing liabilities, resulting in a negative gap of $28,569,000, or 2.8% 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. In the event that interest rates would
     decrease immediately by 100 basis points, results of the rate shock
     simulation indicate that Omega's net interest income over the next twelve
     months would decrease by approximately 1.3%, or $593,000. Conversely, the
     results of a rate shock simulation of an immediate 100 basis point increase
     in interest rates indicates an increase in net interest income of
     approximately $599,000, 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.   Six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997

     Other income increased $441,000, or 9.1% in the first six months of 1998 as
     compared to the same period in 1997. As a direct result of a new product

     service fee income increased by $142,000. Trust fee income increased by
     $57,000, or 4.0%, through June 30, 1998, as compared to 1997. Additionally,

     Other expense was reduced by $210,000, or 4.8% in the first half of 1998 as
     compared to 1997. This is primarily due to a one-time $200,000 loss
     recorded in 1997.

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
     details characteristics of the investment portfolio as of June 30, 1998 and

     Total investment securities as a percentage of total assets at June 30,
     1998 and December 31, 1997 were 25.1% and 24.6%, respectively.  Securities
     maturing or repricing in one year or less comprised 31.6% of the total
     investment securities of $259,662,000 as of June 30, 1998, as compared to
     42.1% of total investment securities of $249,817,000 as of December 31,
     1997. There was $215,000 in investments in instruments of foreign countries
     on June 30, 1998.

3.   Interest Bearing Deposits with Other Financial Institutions

     As of June 30, 1998, Omega had $677,000 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 June 30, 1998 balance sheet.

4.   Loans

     Net loans in the first six months of 1998 increased by $5,324,000, or 0.8%
     from the balance at December 31, 1997, bringing the total to $685,424,000
     at June 30, 1998. Continued competitive pressure in the indirect lending
     market has resulted in limited growth in consumer lending, however, there
     has been an increase in tax-exempt commercial loans, most specifically tax
     revenue anticipation notes since December 31, 1997, of $7,821,000. There
     has been an overall increase of $4,030,000 in outstanding real estate
     loans, including commercial and residential, with a noticeable switch from
     variable rate loans to fixed rate.

     Changes in the allowance for loan losses for the six months ended June 30,
     1998 and 1997 were as follows (in thousands):

                                                 1998           1997

     Charge-offs.............................    (710)          (671)
     Recoveries..............................     237             75

     Balance at June 30...................... $11,805        $11,739

     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 June 30, 1998 and 1997 represented
     1.69% and 1.70%, respectively, of the total loans outstanding, net of
     unearned interest.

     Set forth below is an analysis of Omega's non-performing loans as of June
     30, 1998 as compared to December 31, 1997.

      Non-performing
          Loans
      (In thousands)
                                               June 30,       December 31,
                                                 1998           1997   
     Non-accrual loans.......................  $5,273         $4,762
     Accruing loans past due 90 days or more.   1,587          2,103
     Restructured loans......................     165             47   
     Total non-performing loans..............  $7,025         $6,912

     Non-performing loans as % of allowance..    59.5%          58.6%

     The increase in non-performing loans from December 31, 1997 to June 30,
     1998 is primarily due to the addition of one large commercial loan with a
     total outstanding balance of $612,000 to the non-accrual category, offset
     by a decrease in delinquent loan balances of $516,000.

5.   Deposits and Other Sources of Funds

     Deposits provide the primary source of funding for loans and investment
     securities. As June 30, 1998, total deposits increased by $9,164,000 or
     1.1%, as compared to December 31, 1997, with 53% of the increase due to
     increases in 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 by 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.

     </TABLE>

     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 June 30, 1998, 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%.

7.   Year 2000 Compliance

     Omega is currently in the process of evaluating its information technology
     infrastructure for Year 2000 compliance. This involves both an analyses of
     the readiness of internal software and an assessment of the compliance of
     external software service providers. A committee, consisting of executive
     officers and operations personnel from all major divisions of the
     Corporation, is dedicated to this process. All computer software programs
     and operating systems (Programs and Systems) are being scrutinized.
     External service providers are being required to furnish the Corporation
     with assurances of compliance, and Omega's primary service provider will
     have an independent audit performed on the Year 2000 compliance efforts.
     Any internal Programs and Systems found to be non-compliant will be re-
     programmed or replaced. In addition, Omega is communicating with vendors,
     business partners and key commercial banking customers to assess their Year
     2000 compliance status. Omega plans to complete the evaluation phase of the
     Year 2000 project by December 31, 1998, with testing to occur throughout
     1999. Related costs will be expensed as incurred. There have been no
     significant costs incurred to date related to this project, and management
     does not expect that the cost to modify its information technology
     infrastructure to be Year 2000 compliant will be material to its financial
     condition or results of operations going forward.

8.   Investment Considerations

     In analyzing whether to make, or to continue to make, 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, 1997. A copy of this report can be obtained
     from David N. Thiel, Senior Vice President, Omega Financial Corporation,
     366 Walker Drive, State College, Pennsylvania  16801.

9.   Forward Looking Statements

     The information 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, statements concerning Year 2000 compliance and other
     statements other than historical facts or 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. In addition to the factors discussed in this
     report, certain risks, uncertainties and other factors, including without
     limitation, risks arising from economic conditions and related
     uncertainties, changes in interest rates, federal and state regulation,
     competition, the adequacy of the allowance and provision for loan losses,
     and Year 2000 compliance are discussed in this Report on Form 10-Q, the
     Corporation's 1997 Annual Report or in Omega's Annual Report on Form 10-K
     for the year ended December 31, 1997. Copies of these reports may be
     obtained from Omega upon request and without charge (except for the
     exhibits thereto) as described above.


Item 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

     Omega is impacted by market risks, and has procedures in place to evaluate
     and mitigate these risks. These market risks and Omega's procedures are
     described in the Management's Discussion and Analysis section of the 1997
     Annual Report to Shareholders and in "Item 2. Management's Discussion and
     Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations". There have been
     no material changes in the market risks that impact Omega or their
     procedures relative to these risks, since December 31, 1997.

     that the deadline for providing the Company timely notice of any
     shareholder proposal to be submitted for consideration at the Company's
     1999 Annual Meeting of Shareholders will be March 15, 1999.  As to all such
     matters which the Company does not have notice on or prior to March 15,
     1999, the proxy solicited on behalf of the Board of Directors in connection
     with the matters to be considered at the 1999 Annual Meeting of
     Shareholders will confer discretionary voting authority on the persons
     designated in such proxy.

     Shareholder proposals for the 1999 Annual Meeting of Shareholders must
     still be submitted to the Company by December 2, 1998 to receive
     consideration for inclusion in the Company's Proxy Statement relating to
     the 1999 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.
