NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2000
(UNAUDITED)

Review of Interim Financial Statements

The condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for
the three months ended March 31, 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 March 31, 2000 and the
results of its operations for the three month period ended
March 31, 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 three month period ended
March 31, 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 quarter of 2000 was $ 857,000
compared to $ 686,000 for the first quarter of 1999.  Net income on
a per share basis for 2000 was $ .49, up $ .10 from the $ .39
realized during the first three months of 1999.

    Total interest income for the first three months of 2000 was
$ 3,699,000 compared to $ 3,288,000 for the first three 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 quarter of 1999 as loan rates have steadily risen
during most of 1999.  Average loan balances at March 31, 2000 have
increased 9.5% over those at March 31, 1999.  Increases were
primarily in mortgage and commercial loans, which increased 12% and
19.5%, respectively since March 31, 1999.  Earnings on investments
for the first quarter increased 16% 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 $ 1,703,000 for the first quarter
of 2000, an increase of $ 262,000 over the $ 1,441,000 reported for
the first quarter of 1999.  Increases in average total deposits has
been 11% since March 31, 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 quarter of 1999.  Net charge-offs were
$ 41,000 during the first quarter of 2000 compared to $ 27,000
during the first quarter 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.

Page 8 of 11

    Noninterest income was $ 767,000 for the first quarter of
2000 representing a 36.7% increase over the first quarter of 1999.
Increases were primarily in services charges on deposit accounts,
securities gains and Trust Department income.

    Noninterest expenses were $ 1,603,000 for the first quarter
of 2000 compared to $ 1,427,000 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 26.1% and 30.1% for
the first three 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 35.7% from March 31, 1999 to March 31, 2000.

    Total assets were $ 212,815,000 at March 31, 2000 compared
to $ 206,874,000 at March 31, 1999.  This represents a growth rate
of approximately 3%.  Internal capital generation has been the
primary method utilized to increase capital.  Total stockholders'
equity was $ 22,693,000 at March 31, 2000, representing 10.7% of
total assets compared to $ 22,136,000 at March 31, 1999, which also
represented 10.7% 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.

EXHIBIT 99


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 March 31, 2000 and the
related consolidated statements of income for the three months ended
March 31, 2000 and 1999 and consolidated statements of comprehensive
income for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 and
consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months ended
March 31, 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.
