NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2000
(UNAUDITED)

Review of Interim Financial Statements

The condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for
the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999
have been reviewed by independent certified public
accountants.  Their report on their review is attached as
Exhibit 99 to this 10-Q filing.

Note 1.	Basis of Presentation

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements contain all
adjustments necessary to present fairly Tower Bancorp, Inc.'s
consolidated financial position as of June 30, 2000 and the
results of its operations for the three and six month periods
ended June 30, 2000 and 1999.  Certain reclassifications have
been made to the 1999 historical financial statements to
conform to the 2000 presentation.

The results of operations for the six month period ended
June 30, 1999 and 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the
results to be expected for the full year.

Note 2.	Income Taxes

Income tax expense is less than the amount calculated using
the statutory tax rate primarily as a result of tax exempt
income earned from state and municipal securities and loans.

Note 3.	Commitments

In the normal course of business, the bank makes various
commitments and incurs certain contingent liabilities which
are not reflected in the accompanying financial statements.
These commitments include various guarantees and commitments
to extend credit and the bank does not anticipate any losses
as a result of these transactions.

TOWER BANCORP, INC.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

	Net income for the first six months of 2000 was $ 1,730,000
compared to $ 1,385,000 for the first half of 1999.  Net income on a
per share basis for 2000 was $ .98, up $ .19 from the $ .79 realized
during the first six months of 1999.

	Total interest income for the first six months of 2000 was
$ 7,523,000 compared to $ 6,669,000 for the first six months of
1999.  Increases occurred primarily in loan income resulting from a
combination of volume and rate increases.  Average rates on loans
increased approximately fourteen basis points over those at the end
of the first half of 1999 as loan rates have steadily risen during
most of 1999.  Average loan balances at June 30, 2000 have
increased 9.7% over those at June 30, 1999.  Increases were
primarily in mortgage and commercial loans, which increased 13.1%
and 16.0%, respectively since June 30, 1999.  Earnings on
investments for the first half increased 11.7% over totals for the
corresponding period in 1999.  Increases were attributable
primarily to volume increases as average rates earned remained
relatively constant with 1999 rates.

	Total interest expense was $ 3,493,000 for the first half of
2000, an increase of $ 476,000 over the $ 3,017,000 reported for
the first half of 1999.  $ 239,000 of the increase in interest
expense was attributable to increases in liabilities for borrowed
money.  In an effort to manage net interest spreads, management is
using available borrowing arrangements as a supplemental source of
funds to maintain liquidity goals.  Increases in average total
deposits has been 9.2% since June 30, 1999.  Most of this growth
has occurred in the transaction and savings accounts with some
modest growth in certificates of deposit.  Average rates on
deposits have remained consistent with prior year amounts.  This
coupled with the fact that deposit growth has been concentrated in
the deposit areas that represent the lowest cost of funds to the
bank, has allowed the bank to maintain its net interest margin.
Management intends to continue to competitively price its deposits
while maintaining desired net interest spreads.

	The bank has not made a provision for loan losses, which is
consistent with the first half of 1999.  Net charge-offs were
$ 88,000 during the first half of 2000 compared to $ 105,000 during
the first half of 1999, which are well below peer group averages.
Management has significantly expanded its detailed review of the
loan portfolio, which is performed quarterly, in an effort to
identify and more readily act on loans with deteriorating trends.
As a result, nonaccrual and classified loans continue to decrease.
 Anticipated losses are well below the current allowance amount and
management is not aware of any problem loans that are indicative of
trends, events, or uncertainities that would significantly impact
future operations, liquidity or capital.  Management also
recognizes the need to maintain an adequate allowance to meet the
constant risks associated with a growing loan portfolio and an
expanding customer base and intends to continue to maintain the
allowance at appropriate levels based on ongoing evaluations of the
loan portfolio.

	Noninterest income was $ 1,436,000 for the first half of
2000 representing a 3.2% increase over the first half of 1999.
Increases were primarily in services charges on deposit accounts
and Trust Department income.  Gains from the sales of investments
were down by $ 392,000 at June 30, 2000 compared to 1999 due to
decreases in sales activities and decreases in market values during
2000.  Other income through June 30, 2000 was $ 279,000 above the
total reported through June 30, 1999.  This was due to a one time
gain of $ 236,000 on the disposition of insurance stock received as
part of the demutalization of John Hancock Life.

	Noninterest expenses were $ 3,151,000 for the first half of
2000 compared to $ 3,064,000 for 1999.  Increases were primarily in
personnel costs as the bank continues to increase its staff,
related benefit increases, and continued investment in technology
and related equipment.

	The bank's effective income tax rate was 25.2% and 30.1% for
the first six months of 2000 and 1999, respectively.  The statutory
marginal tax bracket remains at 34%.  The primary differences
between the statutory and effective rates are due to nontaxable
income from municipal investments and tax-free loans, which have
increased 28.9% from June 30, 1999 to June 30, 2000.

	Total assets were $ 217,042,000 at June 30, 2000 compared to
$ 198,546,000 at June 30, 1999.  This represents a growth rate of
approximately 9.3%.  Internal capital generation has been the
primary method utilized to increase capital.  Total stockholders'
equity was $ 23,308,000 at June 30, 2000, representing 10.7% of
total assets compared to $ 22,482,000 at June 30, 1999, which
represented 11.3% of total assets.  The bank has been able to
sustain its equity ratio comparable to prior year levels after
paying a special dividend of $ .50 per share in the latter part of
1999 and increasing its regular dividend for 1999 by 9%.  Risk-
based capital ratios continue to exceed regulatory minimums.

INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANT'S REPORT


Board of Directors
Tower Bancorp, Inc.
Greencastle, Pennsylvania


	We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet
of Tower Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiary as of June 30, 2000 and the
related consolidated statements of income for the three and six month
periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 and consolidated statements of
comprehensive income for the three and six month periods ended
June 30, 2000 and 1999 and consolidated statements of cash flows for
the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999.  These financial
statements are the responsibility of the corporation's management.

	We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards
established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.
A review of interim financial information consists principally of
applying analytical procedures to financial data and making inquiries
of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters.  It is
substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with
generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is the
expression of an opinion regarding the consolidated financial
statements taken as a whole.  Accordingly, we do not express such an
opinion.

	Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material
modifications that should be made to the accompanying consolidated
financial statements for them to be in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.
