                            FIRST KEYSTONE CORPORATION

                    CONSOLIDATED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                  March 31, 1995
                                   (Unaudited)



Note 1.

       The accounting and reporting policies of First Keystone Corporation and
Subsidiaries conform to generally accepted accounting principles and to 
general practices within the banking industry.  These consolidated interim
financial statements include the accounts of First Keystone Corporation and 
its wholly owned subsidiaries, The First National Bank of Berwick and FKC
Realty Corporation.  All significant inter-company balances have been
eliminated.


Note 2.

       The accompanying consolidated interim financial statements are 
unaudited.  In management's opinion, the consolidated interim financial
statements reflect a fair presentation of the consolidated financial position
of First Keystone Corporation and Subsidiaries, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for the interim periods presented.  Further,
the consolidated interim financial statements reflect all adjustments, which
are in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the consolidated
financial condition and consolidated results of operations and cash flows for
the interim period presented and that all such adjustments to the consolidated
financial statements are of a normal recurring nature.


Note 3.

       The results of operations for the three-month period ended March 31,
1995, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the 
full year.


Note 4.

       Net income per share of common stock for the interim periods is based on
the weighted average number of shares for each period; 1995 - 808,429 shares
and 1994 - 808,429 shares.




Note 5.

       Management considers the allowance for possible loan losses to be
adequate at the present time.


Note 6.

       The consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with requirements of From 10-QSB and therefore does not include 
all the disclosures normally required by generally accepted accounting
principles, or those normally made in the Corporation's annual 10-KSB filing. 
The reader of these consolidated interim financial statements may wish to 
refer to the Corporation's annual report or Form 10-KSB for the period ended
December 31, 1994, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

                            FIRST KEYSTONE CORPORATION
                           MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND
                       ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
                               RESULTS OF OPERATION

                                  March 31, 1995



FINANCIAL CONDITION

       Total assets of the Corporation increased by $6,773,000 from 
December 31, 1994, to March 31, 1995, to a level of $213,637,000.  The 
increase in total assets was largely a result of total deposits increasing to
$177,832,000, up $5,552,000 from December 31, 1994.

       Other significant balance sheet changes for the three-month period ended
March 31, 1995, were:  net loans increased by $1,756,000, available for sale
securities carried at fair value increased $5,129,000 and total stockholders'
equity increased $1,215,000.


LIQUIDITY

       The liquidity position of the Corporation remains adequate to meet
customer loan demand and deposit fluctuation.  Managing liquidity remains an
important segment of asset liability management.  Our overall liquidity
position is maintained by an active asset liability management committee. 
Liquidity is achieved through steady increases in core deposits, our 
investment portfolio, and access to borrowed funds.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

       Net interest income, our primary source of net income, increased
$148,000, or 8.1% as of March 31, 1995 over the same period in 1994.  Other
income decreased $52,000 in the first quarter of 1995 over 1994; however, 
other income before investment security gains and losses was actually $26,000
higher than the first quarter of 1994.  Other expense increased $142,000, or
13.1%.  The majority of the increase relates to the opening of our 
Mifflinville Office, which was not in operation in the first quarter 
of 1994.  

       Our newest branch office continues to grow and is not expected to
adversely effect net income for the year of 1995.  Income before income taxes
and security gains or losses amounted to $941,000 as of March 31, 1995,
compared to $919,000 in 1994.  While net income is actually $46,000 less than 
a year ago, the fundamental strengths of improved net interest income,
projected continuation of strong loan activity and our control of other
expenses should enable us to continue to produce excellent net income 
results.
