ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
- ---------------------------------------------

The purpose of this review is to provide  additional  information  necessary  to
fully understand the consolidated  financial condition and results of operations
of Keystone  Financial,  Inc.  (Keystone).  Throughout this review, net interest
income and the yield on earning assets are stated on a fully  taxable-equivalent
basis.  Balances represent daily average balances,  unless otherwise  indicated.
Prior period  information  has been  restated to give effect to the May 30, 1997
merger of Financial Trust Corp (Financial Trust),  which was accounted for under
the pooling of interests  method of accounting.  The results of First  Financial
Corporation of Western Maryland (First Financial),  which was acquired through a
purchase  acquisition,  have been included herein from the consummation  date of
May 29, 1997.

SUMMARY
- -------

Keystone reported net income of $24.1 million for the first three months of 1998
versus $22.8 million for the same period in 1997.  Basic earnings per share rose
to $0.47 compared to $0.44 in 1997, an increase of 6.8%. These earnings resulted
in a return on average  assets of 1.44% and  return on average  equity of 14.24%
compared with 1.45% and 14.15%, respectively for the same period in 1997.

Performance  during the first quarter of 1998 featured  steady core loan growth,
solid improvement in fee-based revenues, and stable asset quality.

While overall  performance  measures reflected steady  improvement,  competitive
pressures  influenced net interest margin.  Earning asset yields remained stable
due to improved  pricing  discipline,  while  funding  costs rose as a result of
consumer preferences for more competitively-priced deposit products. As a result
of loan and other earning asset growth,  net interest  income  increased 4% from
the same quarter last year.

Credit quality remained solid despite a rise in nonaccrual loans attributable to
a single commercial  credit that has good prospects for recovery.  The allowance
to loan ratio was constant at 1.38%.

Noninterest income,  exclusive of investment securities gains, continued to be a
more  significant  portion of the  revenue  stream,  accounting  for over 24% of
aggregate  revenues.  Growth was especially strong in trust and asset management
fees and in mortgage  banking  revenues.  The strong  economy and relatively low
interest rates boosted refinancing activity in the first quarter, and influenced
mortgage banking volumes.

Growth in overhead expenses was 9% compared to the same quarter last year, which
included  the impact of mid-year  1997  acquisitions.  Increases in salaries and
benefits  were  directly   associated  with  the  rise  in  noninterest  revenue
performance including, investment advisory and mortgage banking fees, as well as
increases associated with telephone call center staffing.

During the  quarter,  the Company  repurchased  500,000  shares of its stock and
announced a new program to repurchase 500,000 additional shares.

Loan growth of 6% was strongest in the categories of commercial  real estate and
consumer installment loans. The impact of loans added through the second quarter
1997  acquisition  of  First  Financial  was  substantially  offset  by sales of
consumer  mortgages  and the run-off of indirect  loans and leases  occurring in
conjunction with the curtailment of this line of business.

Intangible  assets were impacted by the second quarter 1997 acquisition of First
Financial.

Funding for loan growth was obtained  from  deposit  growth and  increased  FHLB
borrowings.  Leveraged  investment purchases also contributed to the increase in
FHLB borrowings.

Long-term  debt increased due to the May 1997 issuance of $100 million in medium
term notes.

</TABLE>

Keystone's  primary source of revenue is net interest  income,  which represents
the difference between interest income on earning assets and interest expense on
deposits and other borrowed funds.  Net interest income for the first quarter of
1998 increased 4% from the same period in 1997,  despite the net interest margin
decreasing from 4.56% in 1997 to 4.43% in 1998.

Interest  income  grew 7% in the  first  quarter  of 1998  compared  to the same
quarter  in  1997,  primarily  due to core  loan  growth  as  well  as the  1997
acquisition  of First  Financial.  As a result of  various  promotions,  notable
growth  occurred in consumer  installment  loans.  Increased  competition  and a
declining  interest rate  environment led to a relatively  stable total yield on
earning assets of 8.22% in 1998 compared with 8.20% in 1997.

Interest expense  increased 11% in 1998, as the total cost of funds increased 16
basis points,  from 4.36% in 1997 to 4.52% in 1998. Several factors  contributed
to the increase in interest expense including the continued movement of deposits
into higher rate CD's, increased FHLB borrowings,  as well as the second quarter
1997  acquisition of First Financial and issuance of $100 million in medium term
notes.

As a result of the yield on  earning  assets  remaining  stable  and the cost of
funds increasing  significantly,  the interest spread dropped from 3.84% in 1997
to 3.70% in 1998.  Similarly,  the margin  decreased from 4.56% to 4.43%, as the
impact of the reinvestment of noninterest funds was relatively unchanged.

PROVISION FOR CREDIT LOSSES
- ---------------------------

The provision for credit losses, at $3.8 million,  was consistent with the level
of expense  recognized in the first quarter of 1997.  Similarly,  the annualized
provision expressed as a percentage of average loans reached 0.33% for the first
quarter of 1998  versus  0.35% for the same  period in 1997.  Refer to the Asset
Quality section for additional information.

                                       10

<PAGE>

NONINTEREST INCOME
- --------------------

Noninterest  revenues  continued  to  demonstrate  significant  growth  as  they
increased  $3 million or 15% from the first  quarter of 1997 to 1998.  Excluding
net securities gains and gains on the sale of branches from both periods,  total
noninterest revenue increased 21% in 1998.

Trust  and  investment  management  fees  increased  $2  million  or 38% in 1998
compared to last year, as assets in the  KeyPremier  mutual funds reached the $1
billion mark. The third quarter 1997 acquisition of MMC&P, a retirement  benefit
services firm, also contributed to the growth in revenue.

Fee income,  which includes  revenue from credit card  activities and electronic
banking  services,  increased  $800,000 or 17% compared to last year.  Such fees
were  benefitted  by increased  credit card  activity,  the expansion of our ATM
network into convenience  stores,  and the increased  popularity of the KeyCheck
debit card.

Mortgage banking income demonstrated an increase of $1.2 million or 81% compared
to the first quarter of 1997, as loans  serviced for others  increased 62%. As a
result  of  relatively  low  interest  rates  and  a  strong  economy,  mortgage
originations also reflected a 49% increase in the first quarter of 1998 compared
to 1997.

As part of Keystone's ongoing review of its delivery channels, community offices
were sold in both years,  contributing nearly $1 million to other income in 1998
and $3 million in 1997.  Excluding  these  gains from both years,  other  income
increased 13% primarily from increased sales of annuities.

First  quarter  1998  results  included net  securities  gains of $1.5  million,
resulting from a strategic  decision to reduce our equity securities  portfolio,
and at the same time, take advantage of favorable market conditions.

NONINTEREST EXPENSES
- --------------------
Growth in total noninterest expenses  approximated $4.7 million or 9% during the
first  quarter of 1998, as 1997 results did not include the impact of the second
and third quarter  acquisitions of First Financial and MMC&P. These acquisitions
had the largest  impact on salaries and benefits,  which  increased 12% and 19%,
respectively.  Salary  expense was also impacted by merit  increases,  increased
phone center staffing and the continued expansion of performance-based incentive
programs. Benefits expense in the first quarter of 1997 was unusually low due to
the termination of a benefit program of an acquired entity.

Occupancy  costs,  as  well  as  furniture  and  equipment  expense,   increased
approximately 10%, and were impacted by the acquisition of First Financial,  the
expanded  ATM  network,  and the  recently  completed  "state-of-the-art"  phone
center, KeyCall.

INCOME TAXES

Income tax expense for the first quarter of 1998 reached $9.4 million, resulting
in an effective  tax rate of 28% compared  with 30% for the same period in 1997.
The  slight  decrease  was  attributable  in part to a  number  of tax  planning
strategies including expanded investments in low-income housing projects.

ASSET QUALITY
- --------------

Keystone's  allowance for credit losses reached $64 million or 1.38% of loans at
March 31,  1998,  compared  to 1.33% of loans at the end of the same  quarter in
1997.  Annualized  net  charge-offs  expressed as a percentage  of average loans
increased  from 0.27% in 1997 to 0.40% in 1998,  with consumer  loans and leases
constituting 86% of the first quarter net charge-offs.  This increase is in line
with similar trends experienced  throughout the industry, and is being monitored
closely by Keystone.

The  following  table  provides a  comparative  summary of the  activity  in the
allowance for credit losses for the three-month periods ended March 31, 1998 and
1997 (in thousands).

The following table has been provided to compare  nonperforming assets and total
risk  elements  at March 31, 1998 to the  balances  at the end of 1997,  in both
absolute dollars and as a percentage of loans. This presentation is supplemented
by a comparison of various coverage ratios.

Ratio to period-end loans:*

  Nonperforming assets                        .68%              .55%

  90-days past due                            .50               .70

Coverage Ratios:

 Ending allowance to nonperforming loans      237%              310%

 Ending allowance to risk elements**          127%              120%

 Ending allowance to annualized
  net charge-offs                             3.5X              4.4X
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* The denominator consists of period-end loans and ORE.
**Excludes ORE.

Nonaccrual  loans increased $6.4 million,  as a large  commercial loan in the 90
days past due  category at December  31,  1997 was placed on  nonaccrual  status
during the quarter.  The prospects for recovery on this loan are good. While the
migration of this loan into nonaccrual  status caused the ratio of the allowance
to nonperforming loans to decrease from 310% at the end of 1997 to 237% at March
31,  1998,  the  ratio of the  allowance  to total  risk  elements  is  slightly
improved.

Based upon the evaluation of loan quality and other relevant factors, management
believes  that the  allowance  for credit  losses is adequate  to absorb  credit
losses inherent in the portfolio.

CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
- ------------------

During the first quarter of 1998,  Keystone completed a 500,000 share repurchase
program announced in January 1998 at a cost of $20 million,  and announced a new
program for 500,000 additional shares.

Keystone's regulatory capital measures,  which include the leverage ratio, "Tier
1" capital,  and "Total" capital ratios,  continued to be well in excess of both
regulatory  minimums  and the  thresholds  established  for  "well  capitalized"
institutions.  The  following  comparative  presentation  of  these  ratios  and
associated regulatory standards is provided:

                                                       Regulatory Standards
                                                       ---------------------

                         March 31, December 31,     Well          Minimum
                           1998        1997      Capitalized    Requirement
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Leverage ratio             9.02%       9.15%       5.00%           4.00%
Tier 1                    12.46%      12.50%       6.00%           4.00%
Total capital ratio       13.71%      13.75%      10.00%           8.00%

The slight  decline in the above ratios can be  attributed  in part to the share
repurchases.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
