   (a)  The determination to discontinue the accrual of interest on
   nonperforming loans is made on the individual case basis. Such factors as
   the character and size of the loan, quality of the collateral and the
   historical creditworthiness of the borrower and/or guarantors are considered
   by management in assessing the collectibility of such amounts.  
   
   Impaired Loans
        The Corporation adopted FAS 114 "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment
   of a Loan", as amended by FAS 118, on January 1, 1995. Under the new
   standard, a loan is considered impaired, based on current information and
   events, if it is probable that the Corporation will be unable to collect the
   scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the
   contractual terms of the loan agreement. For purposes of applying FAS 114,
   larger groups of smaller-balance loans such as residential mortgage and
   installment loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Management has
   established a smaller-dollar-value threshold of $200,000 for all loans.
   Loans exceeding this threshold are evaluated in accordance with FAS 114. An
   insignificant delay or shortfall in the amount of payments, when considered 
   
                                       6
   
   
   
   independent of other factors, would not cause a loan to be rendered
   impaired. Insignificant delays or shortfalls may include, depending on
   specific facts and circumstances, those that are associated with temporary
   operational downturns or seasonal business delays.
   
        Management performs periodic reviews of its loans to identify impaired
   loans. The measurement of impaired loans is based on the present value of
   expected future cash flows discounted at the historical effective interest
   rate, except that all collateral-dependent loans are measured for impairment
   based on the fair value of the collateral. The adoption of FAS 114 did not
   result in an additional provision for credit losses at January 1, 1995.
   
        Loans continue to be classified as impaired unless they are brought
   fully current and the collection of scheduled interest and principal is
   considered probable. When an impaired loan or portion of impaired loan is
   determined to be uncollectible, the portion deemed uncollectible is charged
   against the related valuation allowance and subsequent recoveries, if any,
   are credited to the valuation allowance. The company does not accrue
   interest on impaired loans. While a loan is considered impaired, cash
   payments received are applied to principal or interest depending upon
   management's assessment of the ultimate collectibility of principal and
   interest.
   
        At March 31, 1996, the Corporation recorded no investment in impaired
   loans recognized in accordance with FAS 114 with no related FAS 114
   valuation allowance. For the three month period ended March 31, 1996, the
   average balance of impaired loans was negligible. The application of FASB
   114 has not had any effect on the comparability of the non-performing loan
   table in footnote 3 between the periods presented. The company recognized no
   interest on impaired loans on the cash basis.  
                                         
   
   4.  Statement of Cash Flows
            Cash and cash equivalents include cash and due from banks and
   federal funds sold. The company made cash payments of $60,000 and $70,000,
   and $3,243,000 and $2,764,000 for income taxes and interest, respectively,
   for the three month periods ended March 31, 1996 and 1995.
   
            Excluded from the consolidated statements of cash flows for the
   periods ended March 31, 1996 and 1995 was the effect of certain non-cash
   activities. The company acquired real estate through foreclosure totalling
   $2,000 for both periods. The company also recorded decreases to deferred tax
   liabilities and deferred tax assets totalling $354,000 and $727,000,
   respectively, relating to the effects of changes in the net unrealized gain
   (loss) on investment securities available for sale.
   
   
   5.  Merger
            On January 12, 1996, Community Banks, Inc., (Community) completed
   its merger of Citizens National Bank of Ashland (Citizens). Citizens has
   three banking offices which are located in Ashland, Gordon, and Lavelle,
   Pennsylvania. Community issued 578,081 shares of common stock for all of the
   outstanding common stock of Citizens. This transaction was accounted for as

   Results of Operations
                                       
        Net interest income after provision for loan losses for the first
   three months of 1996 was $135,000 or 3.4% greater than net interest
   income after provision for loan losses for the first three months of
   1995. Total interest income increased $529,000 or 7.7% during the period
   while total interest expense increased $314,000 or 11.3%. Average
   earning assets were approximately 4.4% greater during the first three
   months of 1996 than the first three months of 1995. Average loan
   balances increased 12.1% while average investment securities decreased
   approximately 10.7% in 1996. Average interest-bearing liabilities
   increased approximately 12.6%. Management chose to reduce CBI's
   borrowings in 1995 and fund a significant portion of the increase in
   loan balances with proceeds from maturities of investment securities.
   The average yields realized on earning assets approximated 8.3% and 8.1%
   during the first three months of 1996 and 1995, respectively. The
   average costs of interest-bearing liabilities approximated 4.0% and
   4.1%, respectively, for the same periods. Net interest margins on a tax
   equivalent basis approximated 5.1% and 5.2% for the first three months
   of 1996 and 1995, respectively. The provision for loan losses charged to
   income increased 65.6% in 1996. Total loans past due 90 days and still
   accruing interest, non-performing loans, and other real estate
   approximated $2,532,000 and $2,975,000, respectively, as of March 31,
   1996 and December 31, 1995. Significant declines have occurred in loans
   past due 90 days or more and nonaccrual commercial, financial, and
   agricultural loans. 
   
        Total other income for the first three months of 1996 was $117,000
   or 22.2% more than total other income for the first three months of
   1995. Affecting this change were security gains of $147,000 and $36,000 
   recognized in 1996 and 1995, respectively. No gains on mortgage sales
   were recognized in 1996. Loans held for sale are comprised for the most
   part of fixed-rate real estate and education loans extended specifically
   for resale. Demand for these products has been lower in 1996 than 1995.
   Typically, the relationship of the volume of loans sold to gains
   recognized during a period is relatively constant and a larger volume
   results in increased gains. Loans held for sale as of March 31, 1996
   totalled $2,510,000. The market value of these loans approximated book
   value at that time. Total other expenses for the first three months of
   1996 increased 178,000 or 6.2%. Contributing factors were increases of
   $164,000 or 12.2% in salaries and employee benefits and $100,000 in net
   occupancy expense. Affecting these increases were two new banking
   offices located in Hazleton and Rutherford, Pennsylvania.  
   
        The provision for income taxes was virtually unchanged for the
   first three months of 1996 in comparison to the first three months of
   1995. The effective tax rates approximated 22.8% and 23.7% for the
   respective periods.  
   
        The previously described factors contributed to a net increase of
   $73,000 or 5.7% in net income for the three month period ended March 31,
   1996.

   Management's Discussion, Continued
   
   
               
   
   Financial Condition
   
        As of March 31, 1996 cash and due from banks was $981,000 or 6.6%
   greater than it was at December 31, 1995. As a result of decreased loan
   demand, interest-bearing time deposits in other banks, investment
   securities, and Federal funds sold increased $6,248,000 or 5.2% during
   this same period. The approximate market value of debt securities was
   $1,030,000 greater than amortized cost at March 31, 1996. The
   approximate market value of debt securities was $2,521,000 more than
   amortized cost at December 31, 1995. Securities to be held for
   indefinite periods of time and not intended to be held to maturity or on
   a long-term basis are classified as available for sale and carried at
   market value. Securities held for indefinite periods of time include
   securities that management intends to use as part of its asset/liability
   management strategy and that may be sold in response to changes in
   interest rates, resultant prepayment risk and other factors related to
   interest rate and resultant prepayment risk changes. At March 31, 1996
   and December 31, 1995, management classified investment securities with
   amortized costs and market values of $117,864,000 and $118,894,000, and
   $114,905,000 and $117,426,000, respectively, as available for sale.
   Gross unrealized gains and losses relating to debt securities
   approximated $1,853,000 and $823,000, respectively, at March 31, 1996.
   Net loans increased $2,942,000 or 1.3% from December 31, 1995 to March
   31, 1996. Variable rate real estate loans secured by first liens and
   commercial loans increased approximately $5,199,000 and $2,543,000
   during the period. Most other types of loans experienced modest
   increases or declines. The allowance for loan losses approximated 1.11%
   of net loans at March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995. Much of the
   increase in net premises and equipment of $256,000 related to the new
   banking offices. Goodwill continues to be amortized at an annualized
   rate of $240,000. As previously noted, Community Banks, Inc. sells only
   fixed-rate real estate and education loans specifically designated for
   resale on the secondary market and at March 31, 1996 and December 31,
   1995 these loans totalled $2,510,000 and $2,206,000, respectively.
   Affecting the increase of $205,000 in accrued interest receivable and
   other assets was an increase in accrued interest. These factors
   contributed to an increase of $10,861,000 or 2.8% in total assets from
   December 31, 1995 to March 31, 1996. 
     
        Total deposits increased $11,881,000 or 3.7% from December 31, 1995
   to March 31, 1996. All of the increase can be attributed to increases in
   savings deposits. It is management's philosophy to generally maintain
   competitive but not overly-aggressive interest rates relative to
   interest-bearing liabilities. Management reduced short-term borrowings
   in 1996 in an attempt to better balance rate sensitive assets and
   liabilities. At March 31, 1996 long-term debt totalling $7,000,000 was
   comprised entirely of borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of
   Pittsburgh at a weighted average interest rate of 6.15%. Affecting the
   decline in accrued interest payable and other liabilities was a
   reduction in deferred tax liabilities of $507,000. 
                
        Based on a one year interval, rate sensitive assets to rate
   sensitive liabilities approximated 100% as of March 31, 1996.

   Management's Discussion, Continued 
   
   
   
        As of March 31, 1996 the Corporation had risk-based capital in
   excess of the fully implemented regulatory requirements, and tier 1 plus
   tier 2 capital approximated 19% of risk-weighted assets. Effective
   January 1, 1994, the Corporation adopted the provisions of Statement of
   Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain
   Investments in Debt and Equity Securities," which requires the
   Corporation to reflect securities available and held for sale at fair
   value on the balance sheet. Upon adoption, the Corporation classified
   all investment securities as available for sale and recorded the
   increase to fair value of $2,246,000, net of applicable income taxes, 
   as a separate component of equity. The increase recorded to
   stockholders' equity at March 31, 1996 was $680,000, net of applicable
   income taxes. Management believes that this action is necessary to
   provide for proper administration of the investment portfolio and can be
   accommodated by the capitalization of the Corporation.  
   
   Liquidity 
        
        Liquidity is the ratio of net liquid assets to net liabilities. The
   primary functions of asset/liability management are the assurance of
   adequate liquidity and maintenance of an appropriate balance between
   interest-sensitive earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.
   Liquidity management refers to the ability to meet the cash flow
   requirements of depositors and borrowers.
        
        A continuous review of net liquid assets is conducted to assure
   appropriate cash flow to meet needs and obligations in a timely manner.
   There was an adequate relationship of liquid assets to short-term
   liabilities at March 31, 1996.
   
   
   Forward Outlook
        
        Management is unaware of any regulatory recommendations which, if
   implemented, would have a material effect on the liquidity, capital
   resources, or operations of CBI. Marginal loan demand is anticipated for
   the remainder of 1996 and management will continue to carefully evaluate
   this demand based on the creditworthiness of the borrower and the
   relative strength of the economy in the Corporation's market.     
   
        The Corporation is anticipating the maintenance of a favorable net
   interest margin throughout the remainder of 1996.
   
   Other Events
   
        On April 22, 1996, the Corporation announced plans to repurchase up
   to 130,500 or 5% of its outstanding common stock. The repurchases will
   be made from time to time in open market transactions. The repurchased
   shares will become Treasury shares and will be used for general
   corporate purposes, including grants under its Employee Stock Option
   Plans.
   
        The Corporation has declared a 10% stock dividend payable May 30,
   1996, to shareholders of record on May 15, 1996.
