NOTE A - Basis of Presentation

The financial information includes the accounts of the Juniata Valley Financial
Corp. and its wholly owned subsidiary, The Juniata Valley Bank.  All
significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information
and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered
necessary for fair presentation have been included.  Operating results for the
three-month period ended March 31, 1998, are not necessarily indicative of the
results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 1998.  For further
information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes
thereto included in Juniata Valley Financial Corp. annual report on Form 10-k
for the year ended December 31, 1997.

NOTE B - Comprehensive Income

The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 130, "Reporting
Comprehensive Income", in June 1997.  The Corporation adopted the provisions of
the new standard in the first quarter of 1998.  In accordance with the
Statement, prior year financial statements have been reclassified in order to
be consistent with the current year presentation.  The only comprehensive
income item that the Corporation presently has is unrealized gains on
securities available for sale.

NOTE C - Merger

On December 30, 1997, Juniata Valley Financial Corp. and Lewistown Trust
Company entered into a definitive agreement and plan of merger providing for
the merger of Lewistown Trust Company with and into the Juniata Valley Bank, a
wholly owned subsidiary of Juniata Valley Financial Corp.  (Juniata).

Under the terms of the definitive merger agreement, Lewistown Trust Company
will be merged into the Juniata Valley Bank and Juniata will exchange one share
of Juniata common stock for each share of Lewistown Trust Company common stock
outstanding in a tax-free exchange.  Based upon Juniata's closing price on
December 31, 1997, the shares of Juniata to be received by Lewistown Trust
Company shareholders would have a value of $34.2 million or $36.50 per share. 
The transaction consideration is approximately 2.42 times Lewistown Trust
Company's book value.  The transaction will be accounted for as a pooling of
interests and, pending regulatory and shareholders approvals, is expected to be
completed in the second or third quarter of 1998.  The annual meeting for
shareholder approval of this merger will take place on May 19, 1998.

Based on December 31, 1997 financial data, the combined organization will have
approximately $333 million in total assets, $191 million in loans, $285 million
in deposits and $43 million in total equity.  At consummation, it is expected
that the combined banking subsidiary will have 12 full service banking offices.

NOTE D - Year 2000

The Corporation has conducted a comprehensive review of its computer systems to
identify the systems that could be affected by the year 2000 issue and is
developing an implementation plan to resolve any issues.  The year 2000 problem
is the result of computer programs being written using two digits rather than
four to define the applicable year.  Any of the Corporation's programs that
have time-sensitive software could recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900
rather than the year 2000.  This could result in a major system failure. 
Financial institutions are in a unique situation in that time-deposits and
loans, for a number of years have had maturity dates into the future well
beyond the year 2000.

The Corporation uses two major software vendors for data processing.  Letters
of certification have been obtained assuring that they will be year 2000
compliant in 1998 and testing can be performed by the fall of 1998 and into
1999.  Because of the data processing being out sourced, the cost of the year
2000 compliance will be shared with the two data processing vendors. 
Management does not feel this cost will materially impact the results of
operations of the Corporation in 1998 or 1999.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Financial Condition:

Total assets of Juniata Valley Financial Corp. reached $226,854,000 as of March
31, an increase of $5,944,000 or 2.69% from December 31, 1997. The cash
provided by financing activities of $4,749,000 was a result of the net increase
in deposits.  During the first quarter of 1998 the Bank experienced a decrease
in loan demand which declined by $313,000.  Yields on investments were not as
attractive as the daily federal funds rate; purchases on securities exceeded
proceeds by $678,000.  Updating equipment for $53,000 used a small portion of
the cash provided by financing activities.  All of these activities combined
netted the Bank a use in investing activities of $418,000 for the period ended
March 31, 1998.  The remaining increase in deposits were used as an increase in
cash and cash equivalents of $5,284,000.

There are no material loans classified for regulatory purposes as loss,
doubtful, substandard or special mention which management expects to
significantly impact future operating results, liquidity or capital resources. 
Additionally, management is not aware of any information which would give
serious doubt as to the ability of its borrowers to substantially comply with
their loan repayment terms.  The Corporation's problem loans (i.e., 90 days
past due and restructured loans) were not material for all periods presented.

Management is not aware of any current recommendations of the regulatory
authorities which, if implemented, would have a material effect on the
Corporation's liquidity, capital resources or operations.

A dividend reinvestment plan for stockholders was instituted on January 1,
1996.  The Corporation pays dividends semi-annually on June 1 and December 1 of
every year.  Under the plan additional shares of Juniata Valley Financial Corp
may be purchased at market value with reinvested dividends and voluntary cash
payments.  The Corporation has reserved 100,000 shares of common stock for this
plan.  In 1996, 4,087 shares were issued and 95,913 remain unissued.  For the
June 1, 1997 and December 1, 1997, dividend pay dates all shares to satisfy the
dividend reinvestment plan were purchased on the open market.  No shares had to
be issued.

An employee stock purchase plan was approved by stockholders on April 16, 1996.
The first plan year began on July 1, 1996, and ended June 30, 1997.  There were
58 out of 87 eligible employees that participated in the first plan year.  On
June 15, 1997, 3,600 shares were issued.  The corporation has reserved 100,000
shares of common stock for this plan.  After the issuance on June 15, 1997,
there are 96,400 shares remaining to be issued.

Results of operations:

Interest income increased $195,000 or 4.89% for the first three months of 1998
compared to 1997.  Interest expense increased $53,000 to 2.79% for the same
period.  Interest income and expense for the first three months ended March 31,
1998, versus 1997, are reflective of an increase of both interest earning
assets and interest bearing liabilities and overall higher rates offered and
paid in 1998 versus 1997.  This resulted in an increase in net interest income
of $142,000 or 6.80% for the three months ended March 31, 1998.

Other income has increased $17,000 or 10.00% for the first three months of
1998.  This was mainly attributable to a decline in insurance fees earned on
consumer loans.

Results of operations continued:

Other expenses for the first quarter increased $39,000 or 2.97%.  The $26,000
increase in salary and wages for the three months ended March 31, 1998,
compared to 1997, can be attributed to annual merit increases and promotions of
employees. The $40,000 increase in employee benefits is primarily due to the
expense incurred with a Salary Continuation Plan for key employees which was
established during the latter part of 1997.  The $22,000 decrease in directors
compensation is due to fully funded retirement plans.

All of these factors combined have contributed to an increase in net income of
$55,000 or 7.89% for the three months ended March 31, 1998.

Liquidity:

The objective of liquidity management is to ensure that sufficient funding is
available, at a reasonable cost, to meet the ongoing operational cash needs of
the Corporation and to take advantage of income producing opportunities as they
arise.  While the desired level of liquidity will vary depending upon a variety
of factors, it is the primary goal of the Corporation to maintain a high level
of liquidity in all economic environments.

Principal sources of asset liquidity are provided by securities maturing in one
year or less, other short-term investments such as Federal Funds sold and cash
and due from banks.  Liability liquidity, which is more difficult to measure,
can be met by attracting deposits and maintaining the core deposit base.  The
Corporation joined the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh in August of 1993
for the purpose of providing short term liquidity when other sources are unable
to fill these needs.

In view of the primary and secondary sources previously mentioned, Management
believes that the Corporation's liquidity is capable of providing the funds
needed to meet loan demand.

Interest rate sensitivity:

Interest rate sensitivity management is the responsibility of the
Asset/Liability Management Committee.  This process involves the development
and implementation of strategies to maximize net interest margin, while
minimizing the earnings risk associated with changing interest rates.  The
traditional gap analysis identifies the maturity and repricing terms of all
assets and liabilities.

As of March 31, 1998, the Corporation had a six-month negative gap of
$1,934,000.  Generally a liability sensitive position indicates that more
liabilities than assets are expected to re-price within the time period and
that falling interest rates could positively affect net interest income while
rising interest rates could negatively affect net interest income.  However,
the traditional analysis does not accurately reflect the Bank's interest rate
sensitivity since the rates on core deposits generally do not change as quickly
as market rates.  Historically net interest income has, in fact, not been
subject to the degree of sensitivity indicated by the traditional analysis at
The Juniata Valley Bank.

At March 31, 1998, the Corporation exceeds the regulatory requirements to be
considered a "well capitalized" financial institution.

risk.  Please refer to the Annual Report on Form 10-k as of December 31, 1997.
