      The interim financial statements are unaudited
      but, in the opinion of management, reflect all
      adjustments necessary for the fair presentation
      of results for such periods.  The results of
      operations for any interim period are not
      necessarily indicative of results for the full
      year.  These financial statements should be read
      in conjunction with financial statements and
      notes thereto contained in the Company's annual
      report for the year ended December 31, 1997.

      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
      FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

      EARNINGS SUMMARY

         Interest Income

            For the nine months ended September 30, 1998,  
            total  interest income increased by $1,527,000
            or 10.00% compared to the same period in 1997. 
            This increase is due to an increase of $1,627,000
            in interest and fees on loans, a decrease in 
            total interest and dividends on investments of 
            $41,000 and a decrease in interest on 
            Federal funds sold of $59,000.

            The increase in interest and fees on
            loans of $1,527,000 was primarily due to 
            an increase in the loan volume during the first
            nine  months, ended September 30, 1998 of $9,654,000,
            and also due to loan fees and late charges collected.  
            Interest and dividends on investments
            decreased  due to the net effect of a $68,000 
            increase in taxable interest, a $229,000 decrease
            in nontaxable interest and an increase in
            dividend income of $120,000.

         Interest Expense

            For the nine months ended September 30, 1998
            total interest expense increased $792,000 or
            12.81% over the same period in 1997.  The
            increase in interest expense can be attributed
            to the interest paid on time deposits, due to the
            increase in volume of such deposits and
            an increase in the amount of interest paid on
            securities sold under repurchase
            agreements due to the increase in volume
            of these accounts.  In addition, interest 
            expense on other borrowings increased due
            to two, $10,000,000 advances from the 
            Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh 
            ("FHLB").

         Provision for Loan Losses

            The provision for losses for the nine
            months ended September 30, 1998  increased
            $65,000 from the corresponding period in
            1997.  This increase reflects an anticipated
            rise in consumer loan losses throughout the
            remainder of the year.

            As of the third quarter of 1998, charge offs
            exceeded recoveries by $178,000 compared to
            the third quarter of 1997 when charge offs
            exceeded recoveries by $48,000.  Provisions
            to date total $225,000 as compared to 
            provisions through September 30, 1997 of
            $160,000.

            Senior Management utilizes several
            different methods to determine the adequacy
            of the loan loss allowance and to establish
            quarterly provisions.  Among these methods
            is the analysis of the most recent five
            year average loss history, the coverage of
            non-performing loans provided by the
            allowance, an estimate of potential loss in
            homogeneous pools of loans and the internal
            credit rating assigned to watch and problem
            loans.

            In addition to the preceding, senior
            management also reviews macro portfolio
            risks such as the absence of
            concentrations, absence of foreign credit
            exposure and growth objectives in fine
            tuning the allowance and provisions.

            The ratio of non-accruing loans and those
            accruing but delinquent more than 90 days
            (collectively called "non-performing"
            loans) to the allowance for loan losses
            stood at .39 times at September 30, 1998 an 
            increase  in coverage from the .40 times at 
            December 31, 1997.   The increase in 
            non-performing loans occurred mainly in the 
            mortgage loan portfolio.  Based upon this analysis
            as well as the others noted above, senior
            management has concluded that the allowance
            for loan losses is adequate.


         Other Operating Income

            Other operating income for the nine months
            ended September 30, 1998 decreased $2,169,000.
            This decrease is due to the net effect of an
             increase in service charges collected of
            $141,000, a decrease in securities gains
            realized of $2,236,000 and a decrease in
            other income of $74,000. 

            The increase in service charges  was
            a result of an increase in service charges
            collected on deposit accounts. 
            The overall decrease in other operating
             income was primarily due to 
             the $2,236,000 decrease in securities gains 
            recognized.  Realized gains were on sales
            of bonds that were sold in effort to better
            match the Bank's rate-sensitive assets and
            rate-sensitive liabilities given the current
            economic conditions.  In addition, gains
            were realized on partial sales of equity securities
            that have been in the portfolio long-term
            that had reached what management had
            determined to be their maximum potential.  

         Other Operating Expense

            For the nine months ended September 30, 1998
            total other operating expenses increased $70,000
            over the same period in 1997.

            Employee salaries and benefits
            increased $100,000 as a result of increases in 
            salary levels and the hiring of additional employees.

            Occupancy expense increased $54,000 and 
             furniture and equipment expense decreased
             $60,000.  The  increase in occupancy
             expense can be attributed to an increase
             in depreciation expense and an increase in
             the amount of maintenance and repairs 
             expense incurred during the third quarter of
              1998 compared to the same period in 1997.

             The $60,000 decrease in furniture and 
             equipment expense can be attributed mainly 
             to a decrease in depreciation expense, and 
             to a decrease in maintenance and repairs.

            Expenses included under the other expenses
            heading are such items as:  advertising, postage,
            maintenance, FDIC, other insurance, 
            Pennsylvania State shares tax,
            legal and professional fees, telephone,
            printing and supplies and other general and
            administrative expenses.   An overall decrease
            in other expenses totalled $24,000.  

         Provision for Income Taxes

            Provision for income taxes for the nine
            months ended September 30, 1998 resulted in an
            effective income tax rate of 25.59%
            compared to 27.09% for the corresponding
            period in 1997.  The decrease noted is
            primarily a result of the decrease in the amount
            of security gains included in taxable income.


         ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT

         Assets

           At  September 30, 1998, cash, federal funds sold, 
           and investment securities totalled
           $104,622,000, or a net increase of $13,431,000
           over the corresponding balance at December 
           31, 1997.  Investment securities increased
           $17,480,000 while cash decreased $4,049,000. 
            During this period, net loans 
            increased by $9,607,000 to $194,760,000.

          The increase in investment securities from 
           December 31, 1997 to September 30, 1998 is
           primarily due to the purchases of Government
           securities and obligations of states and 
           political subdivisions which were funded by
           long-term advances from FHLB and purchases
           of equity securities.

           Management evaluates credit risk,
           anticipated economic conditions and other
           relevant factors impacting the quality of
           the loan portfolio in order to establish an
           adequate loan-loss allowance.  An internal
           credit review committee monitors loans in
           accordance with Federal supervisory standards
           In addition, management frequently reviews and
           utilizes the results of examinations and reports
            provided by the committee, regulators, and 
            independent loan review consultants, on the
            adequacy of the loan loss allowance.
          
           Accordingly, on a quarterly basis,
           management determines an appropriate
           provision for possible loan losses from
           earnings in order to maintain allowance
           coverage relative to potential losses.

            Management has reviewed the loan portfolio
            for credit risk related to the Year 2000 compliance
            and found no material effect to the allowance.

           The allowance for loan losses totalled
           $2,461,000 at September 30, 1998, an  increase of
           $47,000  over the balance at December 31,
           1997.  For the nine months ended 
            September 30, 1998, the provision for loan
            losses totalled $225,000.  As a percent of loans,
            the allowance for loan losses at
            September 30, 1998 totalled 1.25% versus
            1.29% at December 31, 1997.

           Loans accounted for on a non-accrual basis
           totalled $850,000 and $552,000 at September 
           30, 1998 and December 31, 1997 respectively.

           Accruing loans, contractually delinquent 90
           days or more were $111,000 at September 30, 1998
           and $409,000 at December 31, 1997. 
           These loans are predominately secured by
           first lien mortgages on residential real
           estate where appraisal values mitigate any
           potential loss of interest and principal. 
           The ratio of non-accruing loans and those
           accruing but delinquent more than 90 days to
           the allowance for loan losses stood at .39
           times at  September  30, 1998 and  .40  times at
           December 31, 1997.  Presently the portfolio
           has no loans that meet the definition of
           "trouble debt restructurings" under FAS 15.

           A watch list of potential problem loans is
           maintained and updated quarterly by an
           internal credit review committee.  At this
           time there are no credits of substance that
           have the potential to become more than 90
           days delinquent.

           The Bank has not had nor presently has any
           foreign outstandings.  In addition, no known
           concentrations of credit presently exist.

           At  September 30, 1998 the balance of other real
           estate was $0 compared to $35,000 at
           December 31, 1997.  The property that was 
           being held in the account on December 31,
           1997 was sold in February, 1998.


         Deposits

           At  September 30, 1998  total deposits amounted to
           $218,455,000 representing a decrease of
           $2,081,000, or  .94%,  from total deposits
           at December 31, 1997.

         Other Liabilities

           At September 30, 1998, other liabilities
           totalled $4,753,000 or a $742,000 increase
           over the balance at December 31, 1997. This
           increase is primarily due to an increase in 
           accrued taxes and accrued expenses.


           Capital

           The adequacy of the Company's capital is
           reviewed on an ongoing basis with reference
           to the size, composition and quality of the
           Company's resources and regulatory
           guidelines.  Management seeks to maintain a
           level of capital sufficient to support
           existing assets and anticipated asset
           growth, maintain favorable access to capital
           markets and preserve high quality credit
           ratings. The capital requirements of the
           Pennsylvania Department of Banking are 6%. 
           The capital requirements of the Federal
           Deposit Insurance Corporation are:

           1.  Regulatory capital to total assets 6%.

           2.  Primary capital to total assets 5 1/2%.

           At  September 30, 1998, regulatory capital to
           total assets was 14.37% compared to 15.13%
           at December 31, 1997.  Primary capital to
           total assets at September 30, 1998  was 15.16%
           compared to 15.98% at December 31, 1997.

           The Federal Reserve Board, the FDIC and the
           OCC have issued certain risk-based capital
           guidelines, which supplement existing
           capital requirements.  The guidelines
           require all United States banks and bank
           holding companies to maintain a minimum
           risk-based capital ratio of 8.00% (of which
           at least 4.00% must be in the form of common
           stockholders' equity).  Assets are assigned
           to five risk categories, with higher levels
           of capital being required for the categories
           perceived as representing greater risk. The
           required capital will represent equity and
           (to the extent permitted) nonequity capital
           as a percentage of total risk-weighted
           assets.  The risk-based capital rules are
           designed to make regulatory capital
           requirements more sensitive to differences
           in risk profiles among banks and bank
           holding companies and to minimize
           disincentives for holding liquid assets.

           Capital is being maintained in compliance
           with risk-based capital guidelines. 
           The Company's Tier 1 Capital to total risk
           weighted assets ratio is 20.09% and the
           total capital ratio to total risk weighted
           assets ratio is 22.40%.

          Liquidity and Interest Rate Sensitivity

           The asset/liability committee addresses the
           liquidity needs of the Bank to see that
           sufficient funds are available to meet
           credit demands and deposit withdrawals as
           well as to the placement of available funds
           in the investment portfolio.  In assessing
           liquidity requirements, equal consideration
           is given to the current position as well as
           the future outlook.

           The following liquidity measures are
           monitored and kept within the limits cited.

            1.  Net Loans to Total Assets,  70% maximum

            2.  Net Loans to Total Deposits, 92.5% maximum

            3.  Net Loans to Core Deposits, 100% maximum

            4.  Investments to Total Assets, 40% maximum

            5.  Investments to Total Deposits, 50% maximum

            6.  Total Liquid Assets to Total Assets, 25% minimum

            7.  Total Liquid Assets to Total Liabilities, 25% minimum

            8.  Net Core Funding Dependence, 15% maximum


        The Bank has maintained a liquidity level at or above the
        guidelines of the FDIC and the Pennsylvania Department
        of Banking.  The Bank has available to it Federal Funds
        lines of credit totalling $8,000,000 from correspondent banks.
        In addition, the Bank has an agreement with the Federal
        Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh that enables the Bank 
        to receive advances up to $94,425,000 through
        the Federal Home Loan Bank's "Open Repo Plus", revolving
        line of credit program, with commitment up to one year. 

         All of the funding mentioned is available to the Bank,
         should the need for short-term funds arise.

        The following table sets forth the Bank's interest rate
        sensitivity as of September 30, 1998:

   (1) Investment balances reflect estimated prepayments
         on mortgage-backed securities.

   (2) Loan balances include annual repayment assumptions
         based on projected cash flow from the loan portfolio.
         The cash flow projections are based on the terms of
          the credit facilities and estimated prepayments on 
          fixed rate mortgage loans.  Loans include loans held
          for resale.

   (3) Adjustments to the interest sensitivity of Savings,
         NOW and MMDA account balances reflect managerial
         assumptions based on historical experience, 
         expected behavior in future rate environments and 
         the Bank's positioning for these products.

   (4) Net non-interest bearing funds is the sum of non-interest
         bearing liabilities and shareholders' equity minus
         non-interest earning assets and reflect managerial
         assumptions as to the appropriate investment
         maturities for these sources.

          In this analysis the company examines the
         result of a 100 and 200 basis point change in
         market interest rates and the effect on net           
         interest income.  It is assumed that the change is
         instantaneous and that all rates move in a
         parallel manner.  In addition, it is assumed           
         that rates on core deposit products such as NOW's,
         savings accounts, and the MMDA accounts
         will  be adjusted by 50% of the assumed rate
         change.  Assumptions are also made concerning
         prepayment speeds on mortgage loans and
         mortgage securities.  The results of  this rate
         shock are a useful tool to assist the Company in
         assessing  interest rate risk inherent in its
         balance sheet.  Below are the results of this
         rate shock analysis as of September 30, 1998.

                                       Net Interest Income
            Change in Rates            Change (After tax)
                 -200                        $547
                 -100                        $297
                 +100                       ($346)
                 +200                       ($704)

          The model utilized to create the report
          presented above makes various  estimates
          at each level of interest rate change regarding          
          cash flow from  principal repayment on loans and    
          mortgage-backed securities and or  call activity
          on investment securities.  Actual results could
          differ  significantly from these estimates which
          would result in significant  differences in the           
          calculated projected change.  In addition, the limits
          stated above do not necessarily represent
          the level of change under  which management
          would undertake specific measure to realign its        
          portfolio in order to reduce the projected
          level of change.

          Generally, management believes the
          Company is well positioned  to respond
          expeditiously when the market interest rate outlook  
          changes.

          Inflation
            
         The asset and liability structure of a financial
         insitution is primarily monetary in nature,
         therefore, interest rates rather than inflation          
         have a more significant impact on the Corporation's
         performance.  Interest rates are not always
         affected in the same direction or magnitude as
         prices of other goods and services, but are           
         reflective of fiscal policy initiatives or economic
         factors which are not measured by a price 
         index.


         Year 2000 Compliance; Management Information Systems
                

          Penns Woods Bancorp, Inc. has taken a proactive
          approach to assessment, remediation, testing and external
          and internal risks related to the upcoming date change
          challenge.

          On September 18, 1997 a Year 2000 Committee first met to
          evaluate the above criteria for Jersey Shore State Bank,
          Penns Woods Bancorp, Inc., Woods Investment Co., Inc.,
          and Woods Real Estate Development Co., Inc.

          As of September 30, 1998 the assessment phase, during
          which information technology systems and non-information
          technology systems were identified and assigned core
          system or non-core system status was complete.

          Most of the systems that were known to be non-compliant
          were already scheduled for replacement and in the budget
          as such before any replacement became necessary due to
          year 2000 concerns.  These expenses, therefore, are
          neither included in any historical expenses nor in estimates
          of future expenses stemming from year 2000 issues.

           ATM does require an upgrade, which will cost
           approximately $ 12,000.00.  In addition, Penns Woods was
           in the midst of upgrading hardware, software and personal
           computers as early as 1997 and continued in 1998 by
           adding a compliant phone system and more updated
           personal computers and software.  These expenses were
           not generated because of Year 2000, but rather by our
           holding company's commitment to better serve our
           customers.  "Stand alone testing" of core information
           technology systems as well as any certifications of
           non-core information technology systems and
           non-information technology systems (ie: phones, heating/
           cooling) were substantially complete as of September 30, 1998.
           Testing of software that relates information between systems 
           continues.  No incompatibilities are expected.

           The readiness of these systems for all companies under
           the holding company have been carefully considered.  For
           instance, the software and personal computer used to track
           and operate Woods Investment Company, Inc. was
           determined to be non-compliant and has been scheduled
           to be replaced by March 31,1999.

           Internal risks relating to deposit and loan customers were
 '         assessed to the extent possible by use of questionnaires to
           major loan customers, culminating in on-site visits where
           deemed necessary by management.

           The effects on investments and deposits in the year 2000
           will be, in our opinion, undeterminable events.  A
           contingency plan is being developed to address any 
           withdrawal of funds.

            In July of 1998 the Jersey Shore State Bank began mailing
            brochures to all deposit customers explaining the Year
            2000 and the Bank's efforts in that regard.  We do not
            anticipate any change in liquidity, operations or financial
            condition due to these factors.

            Except for Woods Investment Company, Inc.'s and Woods
            Real Estate Development Co., Inc.'s reliance on the same
            systems as Jersey Shore State Bank for Year 2000
            readiness, no major computer to computer transmission of
            information or sharing exists, with the exception of computer
            links with the Federal Reserve Bank and Federal Home
            Loan Bank that have already been tested and shown to be
            compliant.

            Third party vendors from suppliers of office equipment and
            forms to providers of software and hardware for computers
            have been contacted and have adequately responded. 
            Those responses were evaluated and are considered
            adequate with the exception of Jersey Shore State Bank's
            payroll provider, one electronic forms provider, a branch
            phone system provider, two third parties who purchase our
            mortgages and the manufacturer of our automatic mailing
            machine.

            We will also be assessing newly purchased software and
            an imaging system that will be installed as they are
            activated.

            Contingency plans are being formulated for the event that 
            these third parties cannot attain compliance.  The plans are
            expected to be complete by the end of the first quarter in
            1999.

            In addition, Jersey Shore State Bank has made an offer to
            purchase and merge with another bank.  In the first quarter
            of 1999 we expect to have assessed and remediated any
            Year 2000 inconsistencies within these new offices and
            remediated any problems, if found.  These new offices will
            be switched to our already Year 2000 certified third party
            providers.

            We do not anticipate any additional Year 2000 costs as a
            result of the merger.  Any costs determined at a later date
            would be included in our regular Year 2000 budget.

            To date no independent verifications of any
            systems have been necessary.

            The following definitions and chart have been prepared to
            provide a snapshot of our Year 2000 progress:

PHASES DEFINITIONS:

Awareness:         The Board of Directors and employee recognition that
                      the Year 2000  hurdle exists and the possible
                      effect it could have on our holding company.

Assessment:       Determination of which are core and non-core systems
                      to our operations, income,  budgeting and
                      scheduling remediation, as necessary. 
                      Determining loan, deposit and investment risk.

Remediation:      The actual replacement or upgrading of systems found
                      to be non-compliant and developing policies and
                      procedures to offset or minimize internal and
                      external risks including contingency plans for
                      undetermined effects.

Testing:           Trying systems used for core and non-core operations
                      separately and together to assure proper
                      results as of the century date change.

Implementation:  All systems are certified Year 2000 compliant and are in
                      place in the everyday operations of the
                      Corporation.

Part II.  OTHER INFORMATION

Item 5.  Other Information.
               On July 22, 1998,  Penns Woods Bancorp, Inc. entered into
               an agreement of merger with The First National Bank of Spring
               Mills ("FNBSM") providing for the merger of FNBSM with and 
               into Jersey Shore State Bank, a wholly-owned subsidiary of 
               Penns Woods Bancorp, Inc., and the conversion of each 
               outstanding share of common stock of FNBSM into 3.5 shares of
               common stock, $10.00 par value per share, of Penns Woods
               common stock.  Based on this exchange ratio, Penns Woods
               expects to issue 262,500 shares of Penns Woods Bancorp, Inc.
               common stock.  The Company anticipates that the Merger 
               transaction will close early in the first quarter of 1999.

               Pennsylvania. This in-store bank branch will  provide our

               location.
