NINE AND THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 AND 1999

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, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may
     be experienced for the year ending December 31, 2000 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

     to $17,067,000 and $17,022,000, 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, 2000, the Corporation had $136,747,000 outstanding in
     unused lines of credit commitments extended to its customers. Of this
     amount, $37,632,000, or 27.5%, are commitments to consumers for home equity

D.   Earnings Per Share Data:

     Basic earnings per share are 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.

E.   New Accounting Standards:

     In June 1998, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
     No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities"
     (Statement 133). This statement expanded the previous definition of
     derivatives to include certain additional transactions. Entities are
     required to record derivatives at their fair values and recognize any
     changes in fair value in current period earnings, unless specific hedge
     criteria are met. Statement 133, as amended by Statement 137, is effective
     for years beginning after June 15, 2000. The Corporation does not expect
     the adoption of Statement 133 to have a material effect on its balance
     sheet or net income.

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

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
     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, 1999. 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.

     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 other risks or as to trends or
     management's beliefs, expectations or opinions and other statements other
     than historical facts. 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 other risks are discussed
     in this Report on Form 10-Q, Omega's 1999 Annual Report or in Omega's
     Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999. Copies of
     these reports may be obtained from Omega upon request and without charge
     (except for the exhibits thereto) as described above.

1.   Comparison of the Nine and Three Months Ended September 30, 2000 and 1999

                               OPERATIONS OVERVIEW
                               -------------------

     A.   Nine months ended September 2000 and 1999

     For the first nine months of 2000, income before taxes decreased by
     $1,782,000, or 9.4%, compared to the same period in 1999. Income from
     credit activities decreased $657,000, or 1.9%. Non-interest income
     decreased $390,000 or 4.2% while non-interest expense increased $735,000,
     or 3.0%. Several significant non-recurring events took place in 1999 that
     must be considered when comparing financial results between the two
     periods. They are:

          o The sale of a branch office in June 1999 resulting in a total
            pre-tax gain of $1,410,000

          o The sale of a block of mortgage loans in June 1999 with a pre-tax
            gain of $106,000, and total impact of $206,000.

          o The collection of $450,000 of interest on long-time non-accrual
            loans in January 1999. Detailed analysis of the impact of these
            events are included in the discussion following.

     The tax provision for the first nine months of 2000 decreased by
     $1,014,000, or 18.6% when compared to the first nine months of 1999. The
     effective tax rate fell to 25.7% in 2000 from 28.7% in 1999, as a result of
     an increase in tax-exempt income due in part to higher levels of of
     tax-exempt investments in 2000 than in 1999. Net income decreased by
     $768,000, or 5.7%, in the first nine months of 2000 as compared to the same
     period in 1999.


<PAGE>



     B. Three months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999

     The third quarter's income before income taxes increased $395,000, or 6.9%,
     when compared to the same period in 1999. Non-interest income increased
     $197,000, or 7.3%, income from credit activities increased by $303,000, or
     2.7%, and non-interest expense increased by $105,000, or 1.3%.

     After the income tax provision (which decreased by $20,000, or 1.3%
     compared to the same period in 1999) was deducted from earnings, net income
     was $415,000 or 10.0% higher than the third quarter of 1999. The effective
     tax rate for the third quarter of 2000 was 25.8%, as compared to the third
     quarter of 1999 of 27.9%.

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

     A. Nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999

     Omega's net interest income for the first nine months of 2000 declined by
     $1,099,000, or 3.1%. Average earning assets decreased by $4,065,000 when
     compared to September 1999. It must be noted that the average earning
     assets through September of 1999 included loans averaging approximately
     $19,000,000, which were sold as part of the branch or mortgage sales,
     completed in June of 1999. New volumes of commercial loans have replaced
     the residential and other consumer loans that were sold. Also affecting
     average earning assets in 2000 was a $20,000,000 investment in a Bank Owned
     Life Insurance (BOLI) plan. This reduces the excess funds available to
     invest in securities or money market instruments, and earnings from the
     BOLI are reported as non-interest income. Of the $1,099,000 reduction in
     net interest income in 2000 compared to 1999, $576,000 was due to volume
     changes or reductions (loan sales and BOLI), while the remainder is due to
     rate differences. In 1999, $450,000 of previously unaccrued interest was
     collected, inflating the composite rate on earning assets by 6 basis
     points. See the chart below for a comparison of the components of the net
     interest margin.

     B. Three months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999

     The net interest margin, at 4.68% for the third quarter of 2000, was 11
     basis points higher than the third quarter of 1999, with a $10,590,000 or
     1.0% decrease in average earning assets. Yield on earning assets in the
     third quarter of 2000 increased by 52 basis points when compared to 1999's
     third quarter, while cost of funding increased by 41 basis points,
     resulting in an increase in net interest income of $181,000, or 1.6%.

     Following are key net interest margin ratios (annualized):

     At September 30, 2000, Omega had $382,271,000 of earning assets scheduled
     to reprice over the next twelve months as compared to $482,099,000 in
     interest bearing liabilities, resulting in a negative gap of $99,828,000,
     or 9.2% 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 0.4%, or $177,000.
     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 $168,000, or 0.4% over a twelve-month
     period. These simulations assume no volume or mix changes in the balance
     sheet. There have been no material changes in reported market risk since
     December 31, 1999.

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

     A. Nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999

     Other income decreased $390,000, or 4.2% in the first nine months of 2000
     as compared to the same period in 1999. Excluding gains resulting from
     sales of investment securities and other assets, normal operating
     non-interest income rose by $1,142,000, or 15.1%. This represents increases
     in service fees on deposits, loans and trust relationships. In the fourth
     quarter of 1999, a BOLI was purchased. Proceeds from this policy are being
     used to fund supplemental retirement plans for certain key executives.
     Earnings on the cash surrender value of the BOLI, which totaled $762,000
     through September 30, accounted for 67% of the increased non-interest
     income. The gains resulting from the sale of a branch office and a block of
     mortgage loans in 1999 inflated earnings from prior year, causing a
     negative variance in 2000 of $1,534,000 in gains on the sale of loans and
     other assets. Investment security gains in 2000 were consistent with 1999.

     As a percentage of average assets, annualized other income net of security
     gains and losses was 1.08% for the first nine months of 2000 as compared to
     1.14% in 1999. Exclusive of the gains resulting from the sale of the branch
     office, this ratio would have been .96% in 1999.

     Other expenses were $735,000, or 3.0% higher for the first nine months of
     2000 than for the same period in 1999. Salaries and employee benefits were
     $422,000, or 3.0% higher in 2000 than in 1999. Occupancy and equipment
     expenses have been consistent. Other expense increased by $316,000, or 4.1%
     in the first nine months of 2000 as compared to 1999. This is due in part
     to increased expense for FDIC insurance and higher Pennsylvania tax
     liabilities.

     As a percentage of average assets, annualized expenses for the period ended
     September 30, 2000 were 3.19% and were 3.12% for the same period in 1999.

     B. Three months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999

     Other income increased $197,000, or 7.3% in the third quarter of 2000 as
     compared to the same period in 1999. Service fee income increased by
     $140,000, or 7.5% and trust fees were $133,000 or 19.1% higher in the third
     quarter of 2000 as compared to the same period in 1999. Gains on loans and
     other assets were $12,000 higher in 2000 than in 1999. Additionally, in the
     third quarter of 2000, gains from the sale of investment securities were
     $88,000, or 56.4% lower than during the same timeframe in 1999.

     As a percentage of average assets, annualized other income net of security
     gains and losses was 1.04 % for the third quarter of 2000 as compared to
     .95 % for the same period in 1999.

     Other expenses increased $105,000, or 1.3% in the third quarter of 2000 as
     compared to the same period in 1999. Salaries and employee benefits
     increased $154,000, or 3.3% in 2000 as compared to the same period in 1999.
     An increase in occupancy expense generally offset the decrease in equipment
     expense, while data processing expense remained flat. Other non-interest
     expenses decreased by 1.5%.

     As a percentage of average assets, annualized expenses for the quarter
     ended September 30, 2000 were 3.10% and were 3.11% for the same period in
     1999.

     The allowance for loan losses is considered adequate by management to cover
     probable 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, 2000 and 1999
     represented 1.62% 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
     September 30, 2000 as compared to December 31, 1999.

     Non-performing loans as percent of allowance.............        17.1%                 29.0%
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
</TABLE>

     The decrease in non-performing loans from December 31, 1999 to September
     30, 2000 is primarily due to the significant recovery of principal on
     several non-accrual loans.

4.   Deposits and Other Sources of Funds

     Deposits provide the primary source of funding for loans and investment
     securities. As September 30, 2000, total deposits increased by $12,396,000
     or 1.5%, as compared to December 31, 1999. Of the increase, 63% was
     interest bearing, while the remaining 37% was non-interest bearing
     deposits.

5.   Regulatory Capital Compliance

     Bank regulatory authorities in the United States issue risk-based capital
     standards. 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.

     At September 30, 2000, 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%.

6.   Share Repurchase Program

     During the second quarter of 2000, Omega announced a board-approved share
     repurchase program. Omega is authorized to buy back up to 5% of its common
     stock over a twelve-month period. The program may be discontinued at any
     time. On May 23, 2000, when the repurchase program was initiated, there
     were 8,817,427 common shares outstanding, with 440,871 shares eligible to
     be repurchased through this program. As of September 30, 2000, 191,297
     shares had been repurchased under this program, representing 43% of the
     approved level.

Item 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

     and mitigate these risks. These market risks and Omega's procedures are
     described in the Management's Discussion and Analysis section of the 1999
     Annual Report to Shareholders. There have been no material changes in the
     market risks that impact Omega or their procedures relative to these risks,
     since December 31, 1999.
