NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
September 30, 1997

NOTE 1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

  The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
  PennRock Financial Services Corp. and its subsidiaries.  All material
  intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

  PennRock Financial Services Corp. (PennRock or the Company) is a bank holding
  company incorporated under the laws of Pennsylvania in 1986.  Blue Ball
  National Bank (the Bank) is a wholly owned subsidiary of PennRock which
  provides a broad range of banking, trust and other financial services to
  consumers, small businesses and corporations in south-central and
  southeastern Pennsylvania.  The Bank's mortgage banking subsidiary, Atlantic
  Regional Mortgage Corporation (ARMCO) was formed in 1996 to originate and
  sell first mortgage loans of various types.

  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 nine
  months ended September 30, 1997 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
  Subsidiaries, as applied in the consolidated interim financial statements
  presented, are substantially the same as those followed on an annual basis as
  presented in the 1996 Annual Report to shareholders except that, as of
  January 1, 1997, PennRock adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board's
  Statement No. 125 (SFAS 125), "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of
  Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities" as discussed in Note 3
  of Form 10-Q for the first quarter of 1997.  For further information on
  PennRock's accounting policies, 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, 1997.

NOTE 2. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

  On September 30, 1997, the Company adopted a plan to discontinue the
  operations of the ARMCO.  The Company anticipates that the business will be
  disposed of by December 31, 1997.  Accordingly, ARMCO is reported as a
  discontinued operation for 1996 and 1997.  Net assets of the discontinued
  operations at September 30, 1997, consist primarily of mortgages held for
  sale and related accrued interest receivable and furniture and equipment and
  totaled $26.5 million.

  The estimated loss on the disposal of ARMCO is $790,000 (net of income taxes
  of $407,000), consisting of an estimated loss on disposal of the business of
  $344,000 and a provision of $853,000 for anticipated operating losses until
  disposal.  Summarized results of ARMCO since its inception are as follows:

NOTE 3. 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 $9.2 million and commitments to extend credit totaled $79.4 million at
  September 30, 1997.  Management does not anticipate any significant loss as a
  result of these transactions.

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
  subsidiaries.  This discussion should be read in conjunction with the 
  financial statements which appear elsewhere in this report.

  Total assets of PennRock increased $78.6 million or 14.3% since the end of
  1996 and by $85.4 million or 15.8% over September 30, 1996.  The increases in
  assets were reflected in increases in short-term investments consisting
  principally in federal funds sold, mortgages held for sale and loans
  outstanding.  Securities held for sale declined both from year-end and third
  quarter of last year.

  Income from continuing operations for the current quarter was $3.0 million or
  $.50 per share compared with $2.0 million or $.33 per share for the third
  quarter of 1996, an increase of $990,000 or 49.1%.  The total loss from
  discontinued operations recognized in the third quarter of 1997 (including an
  estimate of the loss on disposal of the discontinued operation and a
  provision for operating losses estimated to be incurred during the phase out
  period) totaled $1.2 million or $.19 per share compared with $286,000 or $.05
  per share in the third quarter of 1996.  Net income for the third quarter of
  1997 was $1.8 million or $.30 per share compared with $1.7 million or $.29
  per share for the third quarter last year, an increase of $112,000 or 6.5%.

  Net interest income increased $572,000 from the third quarter of 1996 due to
  volume increases and wider spreads, while other income excluding security
  gains increased $299,000 and other expenses increased $610,000.

  Dividends declared for the quarter totaled $727,000 or $.12 per share.  This
  represented 39.4% of net income.  Dividends declared during the third quarter
  of last year were $665,000 or $.11 per share.

  Income from continuing operations for the first nine months of 1997 was $5.7
  million or $1.19 per share compared with $5.7 million or $.93 per share for
  the third quarter of 1996, an increase of $1.6 million or 27.5%.  The total
  loss from discontinued operations recognized for the first nine months of
  1997 totaled $1.6 million or $.26 per share compared with $575,000 or $.09
  per share for the first nine months of last year.  Net income for the first
  nine months of 1997 was $5.7 million or $.94 per share compared with $5.1
  million or $.84 per share for the first nine months last year, an increase of
  $581,000 or 11.4%.

  Dividends declared for the first nine months of 1997 totaled $2.2 million or
  $.36 per share compared with $2.0 million or $.33 per share paid for the same
  period in 1997.  This represented 38.4% of net income in 1997 and 39.0% in
  1996.

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%.

  Table 1 presents net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis for
  the third quarter and first nine months of 1997 and 1996.  For the third
  quarter of 1997, net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis
  totaled $6.4 million, an increase of $648,000 or 11.3% from $5.7 million
  earned for the same period of 1996.  For the first nine months of 1997, net
  interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis totaled $18.9 million, an
  increase of $2.0 million or 11.7% from $16.9 million earned for the first
  nine months of 1996.

  Table 2 presents the average balances, taxable equivalent interest income and
  expense and rates for PennRock's assets and liabilities for the three and
  nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996.  For the third quarter of 1997
  compared with the third quarter of 1996, net interest income increased due to
  increases in volumes while the interest spread and margin decreased slightly
  For the first nine months of 1997 compared to 1996, volumes also had
  increased but the interest rate spread and margin were also higher which lead
  to a 11.7% increase in net interest income.  In both table 1 and table 2,
  earning assets and paying liabilities and the related interest income and
  expense of ARMCO have been omitted since the operating results for ARMCO have
  been reclassified as discontinued operations.

PROVISION AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

  The provision for loan losses charged to earnings was $92,000 for the third
  quarter of 1997 compared with $151,000 for the third quarter of last year.
  The provision for the first nine months of 1997 was $166,000 compared with
  $449,000 for 1996.  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 third
  quarter and first nine months of 1997 and 1996.

NON-PERFORMING ASSETS

  Table 4 reflects PennRock's non-performing assets at September 30, 1997,
  December 31, 1996 and September 30, 1996.  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 $17.7 million or 3.9% since year end and $30.4
  million or 6.9% from last year.  Total borrowings increased $53.2 million
  since year end and by $47.3 million from last year.  Table 5 reflects the
  changes in the major classifications of deposits and borrowings by comparing

  third quarter of 1996.

CAPITAL RESOURCES:

  Total stockholders' equity increased $6.9 million or 13.3% from September 30,
  1996 and $5.1 million or 9.5% since year-end 1996.  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 September
  30 and December 31, 1996, this portfolio had net unrealized losses and on
  September 30, 1997, the portfolio had a net unrealized profit.

  On June 24, 1997, 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.  This is an extension of an open market repurchase program
  which was originally announced in 1995.  Since the program was adopted
  PennRock has repurchased 150,451 shares of which 12,617 shares were held as
  treasury shares as of September 30, 1997.
