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
six-month period ended June 30, 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 - Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

The Financial Accounting Standards Board Issued Statement No. 133, "Accounting
for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", in June 1998.  The effect
of adopting the provisions of this Statement is not expected to have a material
impact on the Corporation's financial position or results of operations.

NOTE D - 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 June
30, 1998, the shares of Juniata to be received by Lewistown Trust Company
shareholders would have a value of $36.8 million or $39.50 per share.  The
transaction consideration is approximately 2.58 times Lewistown Trust Company's
book value.  The transaction was completed by July 1, 1998 and has been
acccounted for as a pooling of interests.  The annual meeting for shareholder
approval of this merger took place on May 19, 1998.

Based on June 30, 1998 financial data, the combined organization will have
approximately $334 million in total assets, $192 million in loans, $296 million
in deposits and $44 million in total equity.  At consummation the combined
subsidiary has 12 full service banking offices.

NOTE E - 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 in 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.  The vendors are still on target with these dates.  Because of the data
processing being outsourced, 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 $229,066,000 as of June
30, an increase of $8,156,000 or 3.69% from December 31, 1997. The cash
provided by financing activities of $6,385,000 was a result of the net increase
in deposits.  The funds provided by financing activities together with the
funds provided by operating activities of $1,647,000 were used to purchase
securities which exceeded proceeds by $4,952,000. Additional funds were used
for the increase in loan demand of $1,884,000.  Updating premise and equipment
used $145,000 of the cash provided by financing activites.  The remaining
increase in funds were used as an increase in cash and cash equivalents of
$1,051,000.

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. In 1997,
all shares to satisfy the dividend reinvestment plan were purchased on the open
market.  For the June 1, 1998 dividend pay date, 4,571 shares of treasury stock
were 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
62 out of 89 eligible employees that participated in the second 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.  On June 15, 1998, 2,497 shares
of treasury stock were issued for the second employee purchase plan year.

Results of operations:

Interest income increased $192,000 or 4.70% for the quarter and $388,000 or
4.80% for the six-months of 1998 compared to 1997.  Interest expense increased
$57,000 or 2.95 for the quarter and $111,000 or 2.90 for the six-months from
June 30, 1997 to 1998. Interest income and expense for the first six months
ended June, 30, 1998, versus 1997, are reflective of an increase of both
interest earning assests 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 $277,000 or 6.52% for the six months ended June 30,
1998.

Results of operations continued:                                            10.

Other income has decreased $113,000 or 42.16% for the quarter and $130,000 or
29.68% for the first six months of 1998 over 1997.  Gains on sales of
securities were realized in 1997 of $65,000 and life insurance proceeds of
$51,000 were received after the death of a retired Board of Director for the 
quarter.  The remaining decrease comparing the six months results can be
attributed to a decline of insurance fees earned on consumer loans.

Other expenses for the first quarter increased $2,000 and for the six months
ended June 30, 1998 they increased $42,000 or 1.56%.  The $50,000 increase in
salary and wages for the six months ended June 30, 1998, can be attributed to
annual merit increases and promotions of employees. The $103,000 increase in
employee benefits is primarily due to a keyman pension plan in place for 10
years that required additional funding as employees age.  The $49,000 decrease
in directors compensation is due to fully funded retirement plans.  The $62,000
decrease in the other category is due to a reduction in collection fees of
deliquent loans.

All of these factors combined have contributed to an increase in net income of
$52,000 or 3.54% for the six months ended June 30, 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 June 30, 1998, the Corporation had a six-month negative gap of
$5,570,000.  Generally a liability sensitive position indicates that more
liabilities than assets are expected to reprice 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


<PAGE>



Results of operations continued:                                          11.

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.


Capital Adequacy:

The Bank's regulatory capital ratios for the periods presented are as follows:

At June 30, 1998, the Corporation exceeds the regulatory requirements to be
considered a "well capitalized" financial institution.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk:

There have been no material changes in the Corporation's exposure to market
risk.  Please refer to the Annual Report on Form 10-k as of December 31, 1997.
