Item 4.  Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant


         On June 18, 1996, QNB Corp. engaged KPMG Peat Marwick L.L.P. as its
certifying accountant for the 1996 fiscal year, thereby replacing Coopers &
Lybrand L.L.P. The change was approved by QNB Corp.'s Board of Directors.

         No report on the financial statements of QNB Corp. issued by Coopers &
Lybrand L.L.P. during the last two fiscal years contained an adverse opinion or
disclaimer of opinion, or was qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit
scope or accounting principles, nor were there any disagreements during the last
two fiscal years through June 18, 1996, between Coopers & Lybrand L.L.P. and QNB
Corp. concerning any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial
statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements if not
resolved would have required Coopers & Lybrand L.L.P. to make reference to the
subject matter thereof in connection with its report. During the last two fiscal
years and through June 18, 1996, none of the events listed in items (A) through
(D) of Item 304(a)(1)(b) of Regulation S-K have occurred; and during such period
QNB Corp. has not consulted with KPMG Peat Marwick L.L.P. regarding any matter
referred to under paragraphs (I) or (ii) of Item 304(a)(2) of Regulation S-K.
