increase in the investment segment, a $257,000 increase in the oil and gas 
segment and a $140,000 decrease in general corporate expenses and interest.

lessees due to increased tonnage.

      The increase in the investment segment of $154,000 or 29% is mainly
attributable to increased dividend income of $36,000 and interest income earned
on short-term investments of $125,000 offset in part by an increase of $6,000 
in salary expense.

  Operating Profit                             $ 1,316     $ 1,059

      Operating profit for the oil and gas segment increased $257,000 or 24% 
and is mainly attributable to increased gas pricing and gas royalties of 
$321,000, an increase in delay rental income of $77,000 and a decrease in 
exploration and development expense of $169,000 due to the timing of budgeted 
1994 expenses. Offsetting this revenue increase is an increase in selling, 
general and administrative expense of $168,000 and an increase in depreciation,
depletion and amortization expense of $183,000.

      The increase is selling, general and administrative expenses is mainly
attributable to the expenses associated with relocating Company personnel.  The
increase in depreciation, depletion and amortization expenses is due primarily 
to increased gas sales volume and higher depletion rates.

                                     Corporate

      The decrease in general corporate expenses and interest of $140,000 or 
11% was due to a decline in interest expense of $24,000 as a result of lower 
debt balances outstanding and a $116,000 decline in general and administrative 
expenses due mainly to reductions in salary, legal and consulting expenses.

Financial Condition as of March 31, 1994:

      There were no material changes in the Company's financial condition from
that reported as of December 31, 1993.  

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Other Financial Data at March 31,1994:

      Working capital at March 31, 1994 was $17.0 million compared to $15.5
million at December 31, 1993.  See the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash
Flows for details regarding the change.

      At March 31, 1994, there were $3.0 million in unused credit lines.

      There are two main factors that could influence future earnings and cash
flow of the Company.  One of these is gas prices.  Since the majority of the
Company's gas is sold in the spot market or under contracts less than one year 
in duration, future earnings will be directly related to the fluctuation of 
those prices.  Any sustained decline in these prices could result in some 
impairment of oil and gas assets.
<PAGE>




      The second factor is the performance of Westmoreland Coal Company, our
largest coal lessee.  In 1993, Westmoreland reported a loss from continuing
operations of $99 million that was caused primarily by the writedown of the 
assets of various eastern operations.  On April 18, 1994, Westmoreland Coal 
Company ("WCC") announced that its outside auditors had issued a qualified 
opinion on the Company's 1993 financial statements due to the uncertainty of 
its ability to continue as a going concern.  The opinion was based on losses 
associated with WCC's eastern coal operations, a working capital deficiency 
caused by a reclassification of its revolving credit and insurance company debt
to current liabilities, and violation of various covenants in the Company's 
principal credit arrangements. 

      After the filing of its annual report, WCC announced an agreement in
principle to sell the assets of its cogeneration subsidiary for an amount in
excess of $50 million plus the assumption of certain equity commitments.  WCC 
is negotiating with its lenders to restructure its credit facilities.  On      
May 9, 1994, WCC announced that it had suspended the payment of its preferred 
stock dividend as a result of negotiations with its lenders.  WCC reported that
it expects to repay its lenders with the proceeds from the sale of its 
cogeneration facilities and plans to begin payment of preferred stock dividends
again at that time.  It is also continuing the process of reviewing its eastern
properties with potential purchasers, but no decision nor binding agreements 
have been made.

      Westmoreland is burdened by a difficult coal price environment and
significant costs for retirees and idle mines that must be borne by a shrinking
production base.  The Company is striving to redefine itself and establish a 
core of profitable operations upon which it can base its recovery.  If 
Westmoreland cannot mine profitably, then Penn Virginia's cash flows would be 
adversely affected.  A prolonged period of depressed prices for coal would
affect the merchantability of the reserves leased to Westmoreland and could 
ultimately result in a curtailment of production from Penn Virginia's reserves.

      The Company continues to evaluate its investment in Westmoreland and any
deterioration in their financial condition that results in the carrying value 
for that investment being in excess of fair value could result in additional 
losses.

      Except for matters discussed above, management is not presently aware of 
any trends or demands which exist or uncertainties which are reasonably likely 
to result in the Company's liquidity increasing or decreasing in any material 
way.

                          INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANT'S REPORT


The Board of Directors
Penn Virginia Corporation:

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of Penn
Virginia Corporation and subsidiaries as of March 31, 1994 and the related
condensed consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the three month
periods ended March 31, 1994 and 1993. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management.

We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.  A review of interim 
financial information consists principally of applying analytical review 
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 financial 
statements taken as a whole.  Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. 

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should
be made to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for 
them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the consolidated balance sheet of Penn Virginia Corporation and
subsidiaries as of December 31, 1993, and the related consolidated statements 
of income, shareholders' equity and cash flows for the year then ended (not 
presented herein); and in our report dated March 1, 1994, we expressed an 
unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.  In our 
opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated 
balance sheet as of December 31, 1993, is fairly presented, in all material 
respects in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been 
derived.
