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

Review of Interim Financial Statements

The condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for
the three and nine month periods ended September 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 September 30, 2000 and
the results of its operations for the three and nine month
periods ended September 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 nine month period ended
September 30, 2000 and 1999 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 nine months of 2000 was $ 2,596,000
compared to $ 2,244,000 for 1999.  Net income on a per share basis
for 2000 was $ 1.47, up $ .20 from the $ 1.27 realized during the
first nine months of 1999.

	Total interest income for the first nine months of 2000 was
$ 11,558,000 compared to $ 10,139,000 for the first nine months of
1999.  Increases occurred primarily in loan income resulting from a
combination of volume and rate increases.  Average rates on loans
increased approximately thirty-five basis points over those at the
end of September 1999 as loan rates have steadily risen during most
of 2000.  Average loan balances at September 30, 2000 have
increased 10.2% over those at September 30, 1999.  Increases were
primarily in mortgage and commercial loans, which increased 14.0%
and 15.0%, respectively since September 30, 1999.  Earnings on
investments through September 30, 2000 increased 24.7% 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 $ 5,427,000 for the first nine
months of 2000, an increase of $ 861,000 over the $ 4,566,000
reported for 1999.  $ 380,000 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 6.4% since September 30, 1999.  Most of this growth has
occurred in the interest bearing transaction accounts and
certificates of deposit.  Average rates on deposits have increased
twenty-two basis points over prior year amounts.  This has been
matched with corresponding increases in average rates on loans, as
mentioned earlier, and 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 nine months of 1999.  Net charge-offs
were $ 118,000 during the first nine months of 2000 compared to
$ 88,000 during the first nine months 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 $ 2,134,000 for the first nine months
of 2000 representing a 3.5% increase over the first nine months of
1999. Increases were primarily in service charges on deposit
accounts and Trust Department income.  Gains from the sales of
investments were down by $ 543,000 at September 30, 2000 compared
to 1999 due to decreases in sales activities and decreases in
market values during 2000.  Other income through September 30, 2000
was $ 248,000 above the total reported through September 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 $ 4,787,000 for the first nine
months of 2000 compared to $ 4,575,000 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 25.4% and 30.0% for
the first nine 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 27.7% from September 30, 1999 to September 30,
2000.

	Total assets were $ 223,421,000 at September 30, 2000
compared to $ 205,216,000 at September 30, 1999.  This represents a
growth rate of approximately 8.9%.  Internal capital generation has
been the primary method utilized to increase capital.  Total
stockholders' equity was $ 24,540,000 at September 30, 2000,
representing 10.8% 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.

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.
