ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

OVERVIEW

Keystone Financial,  Inc. (Keystone) is the fourth largest financial institution
headquartered  in  Pennsylvania.  Keystone  offers  a  wide-range  of  financial
products  and services  through its bank and  specialized  nonbank  subsidiaries
located in Pennsylvania, Maryland, West Virginia and Delaware.

As announced on May 17, Keystone  intends to merge with M&T Bank  Corporation of
Buffalo,  New  York,  creating  a  banking  franchise  with  combined  assets of
approximately  $30  billion  and  450  branches  located  throughout  New  York,
Pennsylvania, Maryland and West Virginia.

The merger is subject to the approval of stockholders of both companies, as well
as  various regulatory  agencies,  and  is on target to be completed in October,
2000.

The purpose of this review is to provide  additional  information  necessary  to
fully understand the consolidated  financial condition and results of operations
of  Keystone.  Throughout  this  review,  net  interest  income and the yield on
earning  assets  are  stated  on  a  fully  taxable-equivalent  basis.  Balances
represent  average daily  balances,  unless  otherwise  indicated.  In addition,
income statement  comparisons are based on results for the six months ended June
30, 2000 compared to the same period of 1999 unless otherwise indicated.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

From time to time,  Keystone has and will continue to make statements  which may
include "forward-looking" information.  Keystone cautions that "forward-looking"
information disseminated through financial presentations should not be construed
as guarantees of future performance. Furthermore, actual results may differ from
expectations  contained  in such  "forward-looking"  information  as a result of
factors which are not  predictable.  Financial  institution  performance  can be
affected  by any number of factors,  many of which are  outside of  management's
direct  control.  Examples  include,  but are not  limited  to,  the  effect  of
prevailing economic  conditions;  the overall direction of government  policies;
unforeseen  changes in the general  interest rate  environment;  the actions and
policy  directives  of the Federal  Reserve  Board;  competitive  factors in the
marketplace;  and business  risks  associated  with the management of the credit
extension function and fiduciary activities.  Each of these factors could affect
estimates,  assumptions,  uncertainties, and risks considered in the development
of  "forward-looking"  information,  and could  cause  actual  results to differ
materially from management's expectations regarding future performance.

SUMMARY OF FINANCIAL RESULTS

Keystone  recognized  net income of $20.2 million or earnings per share of $0.41
for the second  quarter,  compared with $24.6 million or $0.50 per share for the
second quarter of the prior year. Amounts for the six months ended June 30, 2000
were net income of $40.0 million or $0.82 per share, compared with $45.7 million
or $0.92 per share for the same  period  last  year.  Amounts  for 1999  exclude
special charges  associated with internal  restructuring  which reduced earnings
per share by $0.01 for the  quarter  and by $0.26 for the six months  ended June
30, 1999.

Year-to-date  earnings for 2000 resulted in a return on average  assets of 1.16%
and a return on average equity of 14.35%. While average earning assets increased
2.4% from last year, the current interest rate  environment  created pressure on
the net interest  margin,  which  declined  from 4.26% in 1999, to 4.03% in 2000
year-to-date. Similarly, net interest income declined 3% during the same period.

Noninterest  sources of revenue were also  impacted by the higher  interest rate
environment  as demand for fixed rate mortgages  declined.  As a result of lower
fixed-rate originations and sales, mortgage banking revenue levels declined from
1999 to 2000.  Other income declined in the same period as 1999 amounts included
the benefit of a pension plan curtailment gain.

Total noninterest expenses,  exclusive of special charges, declined 1% from 1999
to  2000  as  1999  amounts  did  not  reflect  the  full  benefit  of  internal
restructuring.  The provision for credit losses increased 27% and was responsive
to loan  growth.  Net  charge-off  levels  for 2000  were  consistent  with 1999
year-to-date  levels.  Total risk  elements  expressed as a percentage  of loans
increased  to 1.34% at June 30,  2000  from  1.20% at  December  31,  1999.  The
increase is associated with the migration of a limited number of commercial real
estate loans into nonaccrual status.

Keystone's equity to assets ratio reached 8.05% at June 30, 2000. All regulatory
capital  measures  were  in  excess  of the  threshold  for  "well  capitalized"
designation.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Loan growth  totaling $205 million or 5% occurred  throughout the commercial and
consumer categories during 2000. Such growth was offset by declines attributable
to the  run-off  of  indirect  automobile  loans  and  leases to result in a net
increase of $115 million. Increases in loans held for resale are attributable to
the timing of residential mortgage sales.

The  increase  in other  assets  is  partially  attributable  to  investment  in
bank-owned life insurance.  Declining  deposit levels were offset with increased
reliance on FHLB borrowings. The decline in shareholders' equity is attributable
to share repurchase activity that took place in the first half of 1999.

NET INTEREST INCOME

The following table summarizes,  on a fully taxable equivalent basis, changes in
net interest  income and net  interest  margin for the six months ended June 30,
2000 and 1999 (in thousands):

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Interest income            $260,749  8.11%  $244,237   7.80%   $ 16,512  0.31
 Interest expense            131,149  4.73    110,613   4.18      20,536  0.55

 Interest spread                      3.38%             3.62%            (0.24)
 Impact of noninterest funds          0.65              0.64              0.01
 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Net interest margin                  4.03%             4.26%            (0.23)
 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Net interest income  declined $4 million or 3%  year-to-date  2000 compared with
1999. Due to the  liability-sensitive  position of Keystone's balance sheet, the
overall cost of funds was impacted by the increasing  interest rate  environment
to a more  significant  extent than loan yields.  As a result,  the net interest
margin decreased 23 basis points.

Interest  income  increased  $16.5 million or 6.8% in 2000. The  improvement was
attributable  to an  increase  of 31 basis  points in the total yield on earning
assets and a slight increase in the volume of earning assets.

Interest expense  increased $20.5 million or 18.6% in 2000, as the total cost of
funds increased 55 basis points.  In addition to the impact of deposit repricing
associated with the higher interest rate  environment,  Keystone's cost of funds
has been  impacted by deposit  runoff and  greater  reliance on higher cost FHLB
borrowings.

PROVISION FOR CREDIT LOSSES

The  provision for credit  losses  reached $8.4 million for 2000,  compared with
$6.6  million for 1999.  The  increased  expense was  responsive  to loan growth
occurring  during 2000. The allowance for loan losses  expressed as a percentage
of total loans at June 30, 2000 was comparable to the same period of 1999 (1.34%
versus 1.35%).  Refer to the asset quality section of this report for additional
information related to the allowance for credit losses.

NONINTEREST INCOME

Excluding  securities  gains from both  periods,  total  noninterest  sources of
revenue  decreased $5.5 million or 10% in 2000.  While Keystone  demonstrated 4%
growth in trust and investment  advisory fees and 11% growth in service  charges
on deposits,  mortgage  originations and the associated mortgage banking revenue
were adversely impacted by the higher interest rate environment.  While mortgage
originations  remained  strong  in  total,  originations  to date  in 2000  have
primarily  been variable rate  mortgages,  which Keystone is holding in its loan
portfolio.  In the  first  half of 1999,  consumer  preferences  for  fixed-rate
products generated higher levels of mortgage banking income as such credits were
sold in the secondary  market.  As a  consequence  of the decline in loans sold,
mortgage  banking  revenue  declined  $3.6  million or 52%.  Fee  income  levels
declined  in  2000  due  to  the   discontinuation  of  a  merchant   processing
relationship and losses associated with declines in the residual value of leased
automobiles.  Other income in 1999 included a pension curtailment gain which did
not recur for 2000, contributing to a $2.4 million decline.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE

Excluding  special  charges  Keystone  incurred in 1999  related to its internal
restructuring,  total noninterest expenses declined 1%. Improvements occurred in
salaries  and  benefits  as  a  result  of   efficiencies   gained  through  the
restructuring which enabled Keystone to reduce its level of full-time equivalent
employees from 2,965 at December 31, 1998 to 2,618 at June 30, 2000.

Both occupancy and furniture and equipment expense demonstrated slight increases
due to technological improvements.

INCOME TAXES

Income tax expense for 2000 was $15.6  million,  resulting in an  effective  tax
rate of 28%,  compared to Keystone's  effective tax rate of 30% for 1999 year to
date. The effective tax rate for 1999 was impacted by special  charges that were
partially nondeductible.

ASSET QUALITY

Keystone's  allowance for credit losses reached $62 million or 1.34% of loans at
June 30,  2000,  comparable  to the  ratio at the end of  1999.  Annualized  net
charge-offs  expressed as a percentage of average loans remained  stable at .30%
year-to-date in 2000 compared with .31% in 1999.

The  following  table  provides a  comparative  summary of the  activity  in the
allowance for credit  losses for the  six-month  periods ended June 30, 2000 and
1999(in thousands).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* The denominator consists of period-end loans and ORE. **Excludes ORE.

During 2000, a few  commercial  loans migrated into  nonaccrual  status from the
less-severe  delinquent  categories,  causing  the  increase  in risk  elements.
Management has identified no systemic credit quality issues  associated with the
commercial loan portfolio.

Management's determination of the adequacy of the allowance is based on periodic
evaluations of the loan portfolio and other relevant factors. This evaluation is
inherently  subjective as it requires  material  estimates,  including,  but not
limited to, the  amounts  and timing of  expected  future cash flows or the fair
value of collateral  on impaired  loans;  estimated  losses on  installment  and
residential  mortgage loans; and general amounts for historical loss experience,
economic  conditions,  known  deterioration  in  certain  classes  of  loans  or
collateral,  trends in delinquencies,  uncertainties in estimating  losses,  and
inherent risks in the various  portions of the loan portfolio,  all of which may
be susceptible to significant change.

In determining  the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses,  management  also
makes  allocations to specific  problem  commercial loans or pools of loans with
consideration given to the above factors. While allocations are made to specific
loans and pools of loans, the allowance is available for all loan losses.  Based
on its  evaluation of loan quality,  management  believes that the allowance for
credit losses at June 30, 2000 is adequate to absorb potential losses within the
loan portfolio.

CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

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:
