FIRST JERMYN CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


(1)      SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION

         The accompanying consolidated financial statements of First Jermyn
         Corp. And subsidiaries (the Company) were prepared in accordance with
         instructions to Form 10-QSB, and therefore, do not include information
         or footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial
         position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with
         generally accepted accounting principles. However, all normal,
         recurring adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are
         necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements, have
         been included. These financial statements should be read in conjunction
         with the audited financial statements and the notes thereto included in
         the Company's Annual Report for the period ended December 31, 1996. The
         results for the three months ended March 31, 1997 are not necessarily
         indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended
         December 31, 1997.

         BUSINESS

         The Company's principal subsidiary, The First National Bank of Jermyn
         (the Bank), conducts business from its branch bank system located in
         Lackawanna County, Pennsylvania. The Bank is subject to competition
         from other financial institutions and other companies which provide
         financial services. The Bank is subject to the regulations of certain
         federal agencies and undergoes periodic examinations by those
         regulatory authorities.

         PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

         The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of all of
         the Company's wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany
         transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Additionally,
         certain reclassifications have been made in order to conform with the
         current year's presentation. The accompanying consolidated financial
         statements have been prepared on an accrual basis.

(2)      EARNINGS PER SHARE

         Earnings per share were $.92 and $1.38 for the three-month periods
         ended March 31, 1997 and 1996 and was computed based on the weighted
         average number of shares outstanding during each period. The Company
         has no common stock equivalents.

(3) RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 1996, the FASB issued SFAS No. 125, Accounting For Transfers and
Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities (SFAS 125).
This statement provides accounting and reporting standards for transfers and
servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities based on
consistent application of a financial components approach that focuses on
control. It distinguishes transfers of financial assets that are sales from
transfers that are secured borrowings. Under the financial-components approach,
after a transfer of financial assets, an entity recognizes all financial and
servicing assets it controls and liabilities it has incurred, and derecognizes
financial assets it no longer controls and liabilities that have been
extinguished. The approach focuses on the assets and liabilities that exist
after the transfer. If a transfer does not meet the criteria for a sale, the
transfer is accounted for as a secured borrowing with pledge of collateral. The
Company adopted SFAS 125 prospectively, effective January 1, 1997, the required
date of adoption except for those types of transactions for which the provisions
of SFAS 125 have been delayed by the issuance of SFAS 127, Deferral of Certain
Provisions of SFAS 125. The adoption of SFAS 125 did not have a material impact
on the operation, financial condition, or shareholders' equity of the Bank. The
Company has not yet determined the effect that the adoption of those provisions
deferred by SFAS 127 would have on its operation, financial condition and
shareholders' equity, but believes present accounting practices fairly depict
the financial transactions and obligations of the Bank.

In February 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 128, Earning Per Share. This
statement establishes standards for computing and presenting earnings per share
(EPS) and applies to entities with publicly held common stock or potential
common stock. This Statement simplifies the standards for computing earnings per
share previously found in APB Opinion NO. 15, Earnings per Share, and makes them
comparable to international EPS standards. It replaces the presentation of
primary EPS with a presentation of basic EPS. It also requires dual presentation
of basic and diluted EPS on the face of the income statement for all entities
with complex capital structures and requires a reconciliation of the numerator
and denominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of
the diluted EPS computation. This Statement is effective for financial
statements issued for periods ending after December 15, 1997, including interim
periods; earlier application is not permitted. This Statement requires
restatement of all prior-period EPS data presented. Because the Company has no
securities which constitute potential common stock, adoption of this statement
will not have any impact on the Company's EPS disclosure.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

The Company's net income for the three months ended March 31, 1997 was $813,000
or $.92 per share compared to $1,218,000 and $1.38 in the same three-month
period in the preceding year.

The Company recorded an annualized return on average assets of 1.03% for the
three-month period ending March 31, 1997, compared to 1.55% for the same period
in 1996. Return on average equity of 11.37% was recorded for the three-month
period ended March 31, 1997, compared to 18.43% for the same period in l996.

The decrease in net income is primarily attributable to a one time gain on a
legal settlement in the Company's favor of $600,000 which occurred in the first
quarter of 1996. After considering Federal income taxes, this gain added
$396,000 to net income of the Company for the first quarter of 1996. Excluding
this non-recurring gain, the Company's net income for the quarter ended March
31, 1996 would have been $822,000, an amount comparable with the $813,000 net
income for the three months ended March 31, 1997. Management attributes the
decline in net income, excluding the non-recurring gain for the first quarter of
1997 compared to the first quarter of 1996, to the start-up expenses relating to
the opening of its newest office in Daleville.

At March 31, 1997, the Company had total assets of $317 million compared to $322
million at December 31, 1996. This decrease was caused by the maturity of
securities available for sale and investment securities. This decrease of assets
was offset by a decrease in non-interest bearing demand deposit liabilities. The
Company anticipates increasing market penetration through branch expansion. The
branch expansion has continued with the opening of an office in Daleville in
December 1996.

The Company is susceptible to a continued increasing interest rate environment
that may erode the net interest margin. Strategies to enhance earnings and
improve the interest rate exposure of the Company will be considered, such as
the sale of existing mortgage-backed securities available for sale and
purchasing higher yielding, rate sensitive assets with the proceeds.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

CASH AND DUE FROM BANKS AND FEDERAL FUNDS SOLD

Cash and due from banks declined to approximately $6.9 million at March 31, 1997
from $8.1 million at December 31, 1996 due to normal fluctuations resulting from
the conduct of customer business. Federal funds sold increased to $5.7 million
at March 31, 1997 from $1.9 million at December 31, 1996 as the company
experienced increased liquidity resulting from the maturity of securities.

<PAGE>   9
SECURITIES

Securities including securities available for sale, mortgage backed securities
available for sale, as well as investment securities, have decreased $6.2
million or 6% to $100.9 million from $107.1 million at December 31, 1996.

This decrease was primarily driven by the maturity of U.S. Treasury securities
with maturities generally less than two years.

LOANS RECEIVABLE, NET

Aggregate loans receivable totaled $192.8 million at March 31, 1997, a decrease
of $0.7 million or 0.4% from $193.5 million at December 31, 1996. The mix of
loans is substantially unchanged at those dates.

NON-PERFORMING ASSETS

The Company's total non-performing assets decreased from $3.7 million or 1.17%
of total assets at December 31, 1996 to $2.9 million or 0.93% of total assets at
March 31, 1997. Loans greater than ninety days delinquent but still accruing
decreased from $468,000 at December 31, 1996 to $226,000 at March 31, 1997.

Real estate owned, increased $200,000 from $199,000 as of December 31, 1996 to
$399,000 as of March 31, 1997, due to the foreclosure of property securing two
credits. There were no significant gains or losses on the sale of real estate
owned during the quarters ended March 31, 1997 and 1996.

At March 31, 1997, the Company's allowance for loan losses amounted to $3.0
million or 1.53% of gross loans receivable. At December 31, 1996, the Company's
allowance for loan losses was $3.11 million or l.57% of gross loans receivable.

DEPOSITS

Deposits decreased $4.8 million or 1.7% from $290.1 million at December 31, 1996
to $285.3 million at March 31, 1997. The decrease in deposits was primarily due
to a decrease in noninterest bearing demand deposits. This decrease was caused
by a large commercial customer who temporarily deposited liquidity balances in
their demand account at December 31, 1996.

EQUITY

At March 31, 1997, total equity was $29.5 million or 9.3% of total assets
compared to $28.7 million or 8.9% of total assets as of December 31, 1996. Total
equity increased primarily due to the retention of net income during the
intervening period.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

NET INCOME

The Company's net income was $813,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997,
compared to $1,218,000 recorded in the comparable prior period. Net income for
the first three months of 1997 was below that of 1996 due to a one time gain on
a legal settlement in 1996. In a competitive rate environment, the Company was
able to substantially maintain its level of core earnings as net interest income
after provision for loan losses remained in excess of $2.7 million for the three
months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996. Non interest expense remained relatively
constant at approximately $1.8 million, while the Federal income tax provision
declined.

NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income before provision for loan losses amounted to $2.8 million
for the three-month periods ended March 31, 1997 and 1996. Interest income in
1997 decreased for income on securities but was offset by lower interest on
deposits.

Total interest income decreased by $98,000 or 1.7% to $5,567,000 for the three
month period ended March 31, 1997 from $5,665,000 during the comparable prior
period. The decrease was primarily the result of a 12 basis point decline in the
yield earned on average interest-earning assets during the three months ended
March 31, 1997 compared to the 1996 period. However, this was partially offset
by an increase in average interest-earning assets of $4, 156,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 1997 compared to the three months ended March 31, 1996.

Total interest expense decreased by $61,000 or 2.1% to $2,803,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 1997 from $2,864,000 for the comparable prior period. The
decrease was due to a decrease in interest expense associated with deposits,
where the average balance decreased by $1,391,724 during the three months ended
March 31, 1997 compared to the 1996 period. The decrease in interest expense on
deposits was also caused by a 6 basis point decrease in the average rates paid
for the three months ended March 31, 1997 over the comparable 1996 period.




                                        8

<PAGE>   11
PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

The Company establishes a provision for loan losses, which is charged to
operations, in order to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level which
is deemed to be appropriate based upon an assessment of prior loss experience,
the volume and type of lending presently being conducted by the Company,
industry standards, past due loans, economic conditions in the Company's market
area generally and other factors related to the collectability of the Company's
loan portfolio. For the three-month period ended March 31, 1997, the provision
for loan losses amounted to $45,000 comparable to the $46,000 recorded in the
comparable prior period.

Although management utilizes its best judgment in providing for possible losses,
there can be no assurance that the Company will not have to increase its
provisions for loan losses in the future as a result of the future increases in
non-performing loans or for other reasons which could adversely affect the
Company's results of operations. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an
integral part of their examination process, periodically review the allowance
for loan losses. Such agencies may require the Company to recognize additions to
the allowance for loan losses based on their judgments of information which is
available to them at the time of their examination.

NONINTEREST INCOME

Noninterest income for the period ending March 31, 1997 decreased approximately
$586,000 to $142,000 from the comparable prior period, primarily due to a
one-time gain on a legal settlement in the Company's favor recognized in the
first quarter of 1996.

NONINTEREST EXPENSES

Noninterest expenses for the period ending March 31, 1997 decreased
approximately 1.9% from the comparable prior period. Salary and benefits
decreased as a result of certain positions temporarily left vacant. Advertising
expense has decreased due to managements efforts to control costs.

INCOME TAXES

Income tax expense totaled $292,000 for the three-month period ended March 31,
1997 compared to $475,000 for the comparable prior period. These amounts
resulted in effective tax rates calculated at 26.4% and 28.1%, respectively. The
decrease in tax expense during the period ending March 31, 1997 was due to a
decrease in income before the federal income tax provision. The 1997 effective
tax rate declined due primarily to a decrease in tax-exempt income as a
percentage of total net income.

CAPITAL ADEQUACY

A strong capital position is important to the continued profitability of the
Company and promotes depositor and investor confidence. The Company's capital
consists of shareholders' equity, which provides a basis for future growth and
expansion and also provides a buffer against unexpected losses.

Shareholders' equity increased $848,000 to $29,522,000 at March 31, 1997. It is
management's intention to continue paying a reasonable return on shareholders'
investment while retaining adequate earnings to allow for continued growth.

The Federal Reserve Board measures capital adequacy for bank holding companies
by using a risk-based capital frame-work and by monitoring compliance with
minimum leverage ratio guidelines. The minimum ratio of total risk-based capital
to risk-adjusted assets is 8% at March 31, 1997, of which 4% must be Tier 1
capital. The Company's total risk-based capital ratio was 18.11% at March 31,
1996. The Company's Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio was 16.86% at March 31,
1997.

In addition, the Federal Reserve Board has established minimum leverage ratio
guidelines for bank holding companies. These guidelines provide for a minimum
leverage ratio of 3% for bank holding companies that meet certain criteria,
including that they maintain the highest regulatory rating. All other bank
holding companies are required to maintain a leverage ratio of 3% plus an
additional cushion of at least 100 to 200 basis points. The Federal Reserve
Board has not advised the Company of any specific minimum leverage ratio
applicable to it. The Company's leverage ratio was 9.14% at March 31, 1997.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act (FDICIA) establishes
minimum capital requirements for all depository institutions and established
five capital tiers: "well capitalized", "adequately capitalized,"
"under-capitalized:, "significantly under-capitalized," and "critically
under-capitalized," FDICIA imposes significant restrictions on the operations of
a bank which is not at least adequately capitalized. A depository institutions'
capital tier will depend upon where its capital levels are in relation to
various other capital measures which include a risk-based capital measure, a
leverage ratio capital measure and other factors. Under regulations adopted, for
an institution to be well capitalized it must have a total risk-based capital
ratio of at least 10%, a Tier I risk-based capital ratio of at least 6%, and a
Tier I leverage ratio of at least 5%, and not be subject to any specific capital
order or directive.

At March 31, 1997, the Bank's total risk-based capital, Tier I risk-based
capital and Tier I leverage ratios were 18.11%, 16.86% and 9.14%, respectively.
