NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
June 30, 1996

NOTE 1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
  
  The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
  PennRock Financial Services Corp. and its banking subsidiary, Blue Ball
  National Bank.  All material intercompany balances and transactions have been
  eliminated in consolidation.
  
  The information contained in the financial statements is unaudited.  In the
  opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
  accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results of
  interim periods have been made.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the
  information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
  principles for complete financial statements.  Operating results for the six
  months ended June 30, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results that
  may be expected for the year ended December 31, 1996.
  
  The accounting policies of PennRock Financial Services Corp. and Subsidiary,
  as applied in the consolidated interim financial statements presented, are
  substantially the same as those followed on an annual basis as presented in
  the 1995 Annual Report to shareholders except that, as of January 1, 1996,
  PennRock adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board's Statement No.
  122, "Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights, an Amendment of FASB
  Statement No. 65" as discussed in Note 3.  For further information, refer to
  the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in
  PennRock's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995.

NOTE 2. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
  
  The financial statements do not reflect various commitments and contingent
  liabilities, such as commitments to extend credit, letters of credit,
  guarantees, and liability for assets held in Trust, which arise in the normal
  course of business.  Commitments under outstanding letters of credit amounted
  to $8.6 million at June 30, 1996.  Management does not anticipate any
  significant loss as a result of these transactions.

<PAGE>                                  6

NOTE 3. ADOPTION OF SFAS NO. 122
  
  Effective January 1, 1996, PennRock adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
  Standards No. 122, "Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights, an amendment of
  FASB Statement No. 65" (SFAS 122).  SFAS 122 amended Statement 65 to require
  an institution to recognize as separate assets the rights to service mortgage
  loans for others when a mortgage loan is sold or securitized and servicing
  rights retained.  When capitalizing originated mortgage servicing rights
  ("OMSR's"), an institution allocates the total cost of the mortgage loans
  (the recorded investment in the mortgage loans including net deferred fees or
  costs and any purchase premium or discount) to the OMSR's and the loans
  (without the OMSR's) based on their relative fair values.  OMSR's are
  amortized in proportion to, and over the period of, estimated net servicing
  income.
  
  SFAS 122 also requires that all capitalized mortgage servicing rights be
  evaluated for impairment based on the difference between the carrying amount
  of the servicing rights and their current fair value.  Impairment of OMSR's
  is recognized through a valuation allowance.  The amount of impairment
  recognized is the amount by which the capitalized OMSR's exceed their fair
  value.  Subsequent to the initial measurement of impairment, the valuation
  allowance is adjusted to reflect changes in the measurement of impairment.
  Fair value in excess of the amount capitalized as OMSR's (net of
  amortization) is not recognized.
  
  The amount of originated mortgage servicing rights from January 1 through
  June 30, 1996 was $68,000.  There was no valuation allowance for impairment
  related to such rights.  Factors such as volume of mortgage loans originated
  will have a substantial effect on the amount of OMSR's realized in the
  future.  PennRock has no purchased mortgage servicing rights.

Item 2.   Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results
          of Operations
  
  This section presents management's discussion and analysis of the financial
  condition and results of operations of PennRock Financial Services Corp. and
  subsidiary, Blue Ball National Bank.  This discussion should be read in
  conjunction with the financial statements which appear elsewhere in this
  report.
  
  Total assets of PennRock increased $18.5 million or 3.5% since the end of
  1995 and by $31.4 million or 6.1% over June 30, 1995.  The increases in
  assets were primarily reflected in increases in loans outstanding as loans
  increased $19.5 million or 6.5% for the year-to-date and by $35.9 million or
  12.8% since last year.  Total securities (measured on an amortized cost
  basis) increased $1.2 million or .6% since year-end and declined by $8.1
  million or 4.0% from June 30 last year.
  
  Net income for the current quarter was $1.7 million or $.28 per share
  compared with $1.6 million or $.26 per share for the second quarter of 1995,
  an increase of $117,000 or 7.4%.  Net interest income increased $866,000 from
  the second quarter of 1995 due to volume increases and wider spreads, while
  other income excluding security gains increased $73,000 and other expenses
  increased $598,000.
  
  Dividends declared for the quarter totaled $669,000 or $.11 per share.  This
  represented 39.2% of net income.  Dividends declared during the second
  quarter of last year were $604,000 or $.10 per share.
  
  Net income for the first half of 1996 was $3.4 million or $.55 per share
  compared with $2.9 million or $.48 per share for the first half of 1995, an
  increase of $459,000 or 15.8%.  Net interest income increased $1.5 million
  from the first six months of 1995 while other income excluding security gains
  decreased $14,000 and other expenses increased $944,000.
  
  Dividends declared for the first six months of 1996 totaled $1.3 million or
  $.22 per share compared with $1.2 million  or $.20 per share paid for the
  same period in 1995.  This represented 39.7% of net income.  Dividends
  declared during the second quarter of last year were $604,000 or $.10 per
  share.

NET INTEREST INCOME
  
  Net interest income is the product of the volume of average earning assets
  and the average rates earned on them, less the volume of average interest
  bearing liabilities and the average rates paid on them.  The amount of net
  interest income is affected by changes in interest rates, volumes and the mix
  of earning assets and paying liabilities.  For analytical purposes, net
  interest income is adjusted to a taxable equivalent basis.  This adjustment
  allows for a more accurate comparison among taxable and tax-exempt assets by
  increasing tax-exempt income by an amount equivalent to the federal income
  tax which would have been paid if this income were taxable at the statutory
  rate of 34%.
  
  
<PAGE>                                  8
  
  Table 1 presents net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis for
  the second quarter and first six months of 1996 and 1995.  For the second
  quarter of 1996, net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis
  totaled $5.8 million, an increase of $1.0 million or 21.1% from $4.8 million
  earned for the same period of 1995.  For the first six months of 1996, net
  interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis totaled $11.2 million, an
  increase of $1.7 million or 18.0% from $9.5 million earned for the first six
  months of 1995.

  Table 2 presents the average balances, taxable equivalent interest income and
  expense and rates for PennRock's assets and liabilities for the three and six
  months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995.  Both the interest rate spread and net
  interest margin are higher in 1996 than in 1995 because rates on interest
  earning assets increased while the average cost of funds declined.  For the
  second quarter of 1996 compared with the second quarter of 1995, earning
  asset yields were xx basis points higher while rates on paying liabilities
  decreased xx basis points for the same period.  For the first six months of
  1996, earning asset yields were 12 basis points higher while rates on paying
  liabilities declined 28 basis points from the first six months of 1995.  As a
  result, PennRock's interest rate spread and net interest margins increased 40
  basis points and 39 basis points respectively during the first half of 1996
  over the first half of 1995.

PROVISION AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES
  
  The provision for loan losses charged to earnings was $149,000 for the second
  quarter of 1996 compared with $90,000 for the second quarter of last year.
  The provision for the first six months of 1996 was $298,000 compared with
  $177,000 for 1995.  The provision is based on management's estimate of the
  amount needed to maintain an adequate allowance for loan losses.  The
  adequacy of the allowance will continue to be examined in light of past loan
  loss experience, current economic conditions, volume of non-performing and
  delinquent loans and other relevant factors.  The allowance is established at
  a level considered by management to be adequate to absorb potential future
  losses contained in the portfolio and is monitored on a continuous basis with
  independent formal reviews conducted semiannually.  The allowance is
  increased by provisions charged to expense and decreased by net charge-offs.
  Table 3 reflects an analysis of the allowance for loan losses for the second
  quarter and first six months of 1996 and 1995.

NON-PERFORMING ASSETS
  
  Table 4 reflects PennRock's non-performing assets at June 30, 1996, December
  31, 1995 and June 30, 1995.  PennRock's policy is to discontinue the accrual
  of interest on loans for which the principal or interest is past due 90 days
  or more unless the loan is well secured and corrective action has begun or
  the loan is in the process of collection.  When a loan is placed on non-
  accrual status, any unpaid interest is charged against income.  Other real
  estate owned represents property acquired through foreclosure.

LIQUIDITY
  
  The purpose of liquidity management is to ensure that there are sufficient
  cash flows available to meet a variety of needs.  These include financial
  commitments such as satisfying the credit needs of our borrowers and
  withdrawals by our depositors, the ability to capitalize in investment and
  business opportunities as they occur, and the funding of PennRock's own
  operations.  Liquidity is provided by maturities and sales of investment
  securities, loan payments and maturities and liquidating money market
  investments such as federal funds sold.  Liquidity is also provided by short-
  term lines of credit  with various correspondents and fixed and variable rate
  advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh and other
  correspondent banks.  However, PennRock's primary source of liquidity lies in
  PennRock's ability to renew, replace and expand its base of core deposits
  (consisting of demand, NOW, money market, savings, and time deposits of less
  than $100,000).

  Total deposits increased $6.3 million or 1.5% since year end and $4.9 million
  or 1.2% from last year.  Total short-term borrowings increased $23.3 million
  or 23.3% since year end and by $22.4 million or 61.8% from last year.  Table

CAPITAL RESOURCES:
  
  Total stockholders' equity increased $2.2 million or 4.6% from June 30, 1995
  and decreased $1.8 million or 3.4% since year-end 1995.  Stockholders' equity
  is impacted by changes in the unrealized market gains and losses of the
  securities available for sale portfolio, net of deferred taxes.  At June 30,
  1996 and 1995, this portfolio had net unrealized losses and on December 31,
  1995, the portfolio had a net unrealized profit.
  
  On June 27, 1995, the Company announced that the Board of Directors had
  authorized the purchase of up to 200,000 shares of its outstanding common
  stock.  The shares are to be used for general corporate purposes including
  employee benefit and executive compensation plans or for the dividend
  reinvestment plan.  On June 11, 1996, the Board of Directors extended this
  program for an additional 12 months. Since the program was adopted PennRock
  has repurchased 79,374 shares of which 33,708 shares were held as treasury
  shares as of June 30, 1996.

its judgment in determining what is in the best interests of the

relevant factors, including, without limitation, the following:
