INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
----------------------------
To the Board of Trustees of
The First National Bank of West Chester -
Retirement Savings Plan
West Chester, PA 19381
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
of The First National Bank of West Chester - Retirement Savings Plan as of
December 31, 1996 and 1995, the related statements of changes in net assets
available for benefits, and supplemental schedules for the years then ended.
These financial statements and supplemental schedules are the responsibility of
the Trustees of The First National Bank of West Chester - Retirement Savings
Plan. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements
based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements and supplemental schedules are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An
audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by the trustees as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and supplemental schedules referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets of the Retirement
Savings Plan as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the changes in net assets for
the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF WEST CHESTER -
RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1996 AND 1995
NOTE A - DESCRIPTION OF PLAN
The following brief description of The First National Bank of West Chester
- Retirement Savings Plan is provided for general purpose only. Members
should refer to the Plan agreement for more complete information.
GENERAL
Effective January 1, 1995, the Plan has been amended and restated in its
entirety. The Plan sponsor has amended the Plan to include a 401(K) Plan
with a regular fixed contribution. The 401 (K) Plan name has been changed
to the Retirement Savings Plan. The Plan is subject to the provisions of
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).
MEMBERSHIP IN THE PLAN
Each employee who was participating in the prior plan on December 31, 1994,
shall automatically continue as a member. Each other employee who is an
eligible employee as of the effective date shall become a member of the
Plan on such date.
Eligible employee for purposes of 401(K) deferrals means any employee who
has been employed for at least one continuous year and is scheduled to
complete 1,000 house of service during each plan year.
EMPLOYER FIXED CONTRIBUTIONS
Each plan year the employer shall contribute an additional contribution to
the fund on account of each member equal to 3% of the member's compensation
up to $30,000, plus 6% of the member's compensation in excess of $30,000 of
the member's compensation. The contribution shall only be made for members
who have completed one year of service, are employed on the last day of the
plan year and complete 1,000 hours of service during the plan year. The
contribution for a member shall be made whether or not a basic contribution
was made for such member.
-4-
<PAGE>
NOTE A - DESCRIPTION OF PLAN (continued)
MEMBER ACCOUNTS
All contributions by or on behalf of a member shall be deposited to the
appropriate account established for each member. As of each valuation date,
the accounts of each member shall be adjusted to reflect any realized and
unrealized gains or losses and income or expense of the fund according to
nondiscriminatory procedures uniformly applied based on the value of the
member's accounts as of the preceding valuation date.
CONTRIBUTIONS
Each member may authorize the employer to reduce his compensation by any
whole percentage up to 15%. Each eligible employee shall file a written
election form with the Plan administrator specifying the portion of his
compensation that is to be contributed to the plan as a basic contribution.
The employer shall make a matching contribution for each member which shall
equal $0.75 for each $1.00 allocated to such member's basic contribution up
to 5% of the member's eligible compensation. The amount of employer
matching contributions may be increased or decreased at the discretion of
the board, provided that reasonable notice is provided to members giving
them the opportunity to change their elective deferral percentage.
VESTING
A member shall have a fully vested interest in his basic contribution
account, matching contribution account, additional fixed contribution
account and rollover account at all times.
PAYMENT OF BENEFITS
On termination of service, a member may elect to receive either a lump-sum
amount or installments over a period not to exceed ten years.
NOTE B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS
If available, quoted market prices are used to value investments. Employer
securities contributed to the plan shall be valued at a price which, in the
judgement of the Plan administrator, do not exceed the fair market of such
securities. The determination of fair market value shall be made in good
faith by the Plan administrator.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
For purposes of these financial statements, the Plan considers all money
market funds to be cash equivalents.

following table presents the fair values of those investments. Investments

NOTE D - PLAN TERMINATION
Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the employer has the
right at any time to terminate the Plan by delivering to the Trustee and
Administrator written notice of such termination. In the event of Plan
termination, participants, as stated, are 100% vested in their accounts.
NOTE E - TAX STATUS
The trust established under the Plan to hold the Plan's assets is qualified
pursuant to the appropriate section of the Internal Revenue Code, and,
accordingly, the trust's net investment income is exempt from income taxes.
The Plan has obtained a favorable tax determination letter from the
Internal Revenue Service and the Plan sponsor believes that the Plan
continues to qualify and to operate as designed.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
----------------------------
To the Board of Trustees of
The First National Bank of West Chester
Retirement Savings Plan
West Chester, PA 19381
We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets available for benefits
of The First National Bank of West Chester - Retirement Savings Plan as of
December 31, 1995 and 1994, the related statement of changes in net assets
available for benefits, and supplemental schedules for the years then ended.
These financial statements and supplemental schedules are the responsibility of
the Trustees of The First National Bank of West Chester - Retirement Savings
Plan. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements
based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements and supplemental schedules are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An
audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by the trustees as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and supplemental schedules referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets of the Retirement
Savings Plan as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the changes in net assets for
the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF WEST CHESTER -
RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1995 AND 1994
NOTE A - DESCRIPTION OF PLAN
The following brief description of The First National Bank of West Chester
- Retirement Savings Plan is provided for general purpose only. Members
should refer to the Plan agreement for more complete information.
GENERAL
Effective January 1, 1995, the Plan has been amended and restated in its
entirety. The Plan sponsor has amended the Plan to include a 401(K) Plan
with a regular fixed contribution. The 401(K) Plan name has been changed to
the Retirement Savings Plan. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the
Employe Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).
MEMBERSHIP IN THE PLAN
Each employee who was participating in the prior plan on December 31, 1994,
shall automatically continue as a member. Each other employee who is an
eligible employee as of the effective date shall become a member of the
Plan on such date.
Eligible employee for purposes of 401(K) deferrals means any employee who
has been employed for at least one continuous year and is scheduled to
complete 1,000 hours of service during each plan year.
EMPLOYER FIXED CONTRIBUTIONS
Each plan year the employer shall contribute an additional contribution to
the fund on account of each member equal to 3% of the member's compensation
up to $30,000, plus 6% of the member's compensation in excess of $30,000 of
the member's compensation. The contribution shall only be made for members
who have completed one year of service, are employed on the last day of the
plan year and complete 1,000 hours of service during the plan year. The
contribution for a member shall be made whether or not a basic contribution
was made for such member.
-4-
<PAGE>
NOTE A - DESCRIPTION OF PLAN (continued)
MEMBER ACCOUNTS
All contributions by or on behalf of a member shall be deposited to the
appropriate account established for each member. As of each valuation date,
the accounts of each member shall be adjusted to reflect any realized and
unrealized gains or losses and income or expense of the fund according to
nondiscriminatory procedures uniformly applied based on the value of the
member's accounts as of the preceding valuation date.
CONTRIBUTIONS
Each member may authorize the employer to reduce his compensation by any
whole percentage up to 15%. Each eligible employee shall file a written
election form with the Plan administrator specifying the portion of his
compensation that is to be contributed to the plan as a basic contribution.
The employer shall make a matching contribution for each member which shall
equal $0.75 for each $1.00 allocated to such member's basic contribution up
to 5% of the member's eligible compensation. The amount of employer
matching contributions may be increased or decreased at the discretion of
the board, provided that reasonable notice is provided to members giving
them the opportunity to change their elective deferral percentage.
VESTING
A member shall have a fully vested interest in his basic contribution
account, matching contribution account, additional fixed contribution
account and rollover account at all times.
PAYMENT OF BENEFITS
On termination of service, a member may elect to receive either a lump-sum
amount or installments over a period not to exceed ten years.
NOTE B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS
If available, quoted market prices are used to value investments. Employer
securities contributed to the plan shall be valued at a price which, in the
judgement of the Plan administrator, do not exceed the fair market of such
securities. The determination of fair market value shall be made in good
faith by the Plan administrator.

NOTE B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
For purposes of these financial statements, the Plan considers all money
market funds to be cash equivalents.
NOTE C - INVESTMENTS
The Plan's investments are held by a bank-administered trust fund. The
following table presents the fair values of those investments. Investments
that represent 5% or more of the Plan's net assets are separately

NOTE D - PLAN TERMINATION
Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the employer has the
right at any time to terminate the Plan by delivering to the Trustee and
Administrator written notice of such termination. In the event of Plan
termination, participants, as stated, are 100% vested in their accounts.
NOTE E - TAX STATUS
The trust established under the Plan to hold the Plan's assets is qualified
pursuant to the appropriate section of the Internal Revenue Code, and,
accordingly, the trust's net investment income is exempt from income taxes.
The Plan has obtained a favorable tax determination letter from the
Internal Revenue Service and the Plan sponsor believes that the Plan
continues to qualify and to operate as designed.
