NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
June 30, 1998

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.  Operations of ARMCO were
   terminated during 1997.

   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, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results that
   may be expected for the year ended December 31, 1998.

   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 1997 Annual Report to shareholders except that, as of
   January 1, 1998, PennRock adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board's
   Statement No. 130 ("SFAS 130"), "Reporting Comprehensive Income", SFAS 131,
   "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" and
   SFAS 132, "Employers' Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement
   Benefits-an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, and 106" as discussed in
   Note 3.  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.

<PAGE>                                  7


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 $8.3 million and commitments to extend credit totaled $68.8 million at
   June 30, 1998.  Management does not anticipate any significant loss as a
   result of these transactions.

NOTE 3. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

   On January 1, 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
   Standards No. 130 ("SFAS 130"), "Reporting Comprehensive Income."
   Comprehensive income, as defined by SFAS 130, is the change in equity of a
   business enterprise during a reporting period from transactions and other
   events and circumstances from non-owner sources.  In addition to an
   enterprise's net income, change in equity components under comprehensive
   income reporting would also include such items as the net change in
   unrealized gain or loss on available-for-sale securities.

   In June 1997, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131 ("SFAS
   131"), "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information,"
   was issued.  SFAS 131 requires the reporting of selected segmented
   information in quarterly and annual reports.  Information from operating
   segments is derived from methods used by the Company's management to allocate
   resources and measure performance.  The Company is required to disclose
   profit/loss, revenues and assets for each segment identified, including
   reconciliations of these items to consolidated totals.  The Company is also
   required to disclose the basis for identifying the segments and the types of
   products and services within each segment.  SFAS 131 is effective for the
   Company for the year ended December 31, 1998, and quarterly beginning in
   1999, including the restatement of prior periods reported consistent with
   this pronouncement, if practical.  The Company does not anticipate any
   material impact from the implementation of SFAS No. 131.


   In February 1998, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 132 ("SFAS
   132"), "Employers' Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement
   Benefits-an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, and 106," was issued.
   SFAS 132 revises employers' disclosures about pension and other post-
   retirement benefit plans.  It standardizes the disclosure requirements for
   pensions and other post-retirement benefits and requires additional
   information on changes in the benefit obligations and fair values of plan
   assets in the Company's 1998 year-end financial statements.  SFAS 132 also
   eliminates certain disclosures which were required by SFAS 87, "Employers'
   Accounting for Pensions," SFAS 88, "Employers' Accounting for Settlement and
   Curtailments of Defined Benefit Pension Plans and for Termination Benefits,"
   and SFAS 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other than
   Pensions."  SFAS 132 was effective for the Company on January 1, 1998.  The
   Company did not experience any material impact from the implementation of
   SFAS No. 132.

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 $37.9 million or 5.8% since the end of
   1997 and by $72.8 million or 11.8% over June 30, 1997.  The increases in
   assets were reflected in increases in securities available for sale and loans
   outstanding.

   Net income for the current quarter was $2.6 million or $.43 per share
   compared with $1.9 million or $.31 per share for the second quarter of 1997,
   an increase of $696,000 or 36.1%.  Income from continuing operations
   increased $483,000 or 22.5% from the second quarter of 1997.  A loss from
   discontinued operations of $214,000 or $.04 per share was recorded in the
   second quarter of 1997.

   Net interest income increased $382,000 from the second quarter of 1997 due to
   volume increases and notwithstanding tighter margins, while other income
   excluding security gains increased $251,000 and other expenses increased
   $33,000.

   Dividends declared for the quarter totaled $789,000 or $.13 per share.  This
   represented 30.1% of net income.  Dividends declared during the second
   quarter of last year were $728,000 or $.12 per share.

   Net income for the first six months of 1998 was $5.0 million or $.82 per
   share compared with $3.8 million or $.64 per share for the first half of
   1997, an increase of $1.2 million or 30.1%.  A loss from discontinued
   operations of $391,000 or $.06 per share was recognized for the first six
   months of 1997.  Income from continuing operations increased $762,000 or
   18.0% from the first six months of 1997.

   Dividends declared for the first six months of 1998 totaled $1.6 million or
   $.26 per share compared with $1.5 million or $.24 per share paid for the same
   period in 1997.  This represented 31.6% of net income in 1998 and 38.0% in
   1997.

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 second quarter and first six months of 1998 and 1997.  For the second
   quarter of 1998, net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis
   totaled $6.9 million, an increase of $847,000 or 13.9% from $6.1 million
   earned for the same period of 1997.  For the first six months of 1998, net
   interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis totaled $13.8 million, an
   increase of $1.5 million or 11.8% from $12.3 million earned for the first six
   months of 1997.

</TABLE>

   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, 1998 and 1997.  For the second quarter and first half
   of 1998, net interest income increased due to increases in volumes while the
   interest spread and margin decreased over the comparable period last year.
   In both table 1 and table 2, earning assets and paying liabilities and the
   related interest income and expense of ARMCO have been omitted from 1997
   since the operating results for ARMCO were reclassified as discontinued
   operations.

PROVISION AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

   The provision for loan losses charged to earnings was $214,000 for the second
   quarter of 1998 compared with $44,000 for the second quarter of last year.
   The provision for the first six months of 1998 was $362,000 compared with
   $74,000 for 1997.  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 1998 and 1997.

NON-PERFORMING ASSETS

   Table 4 reflects PennRock's non-performing assets at June 30, 1998, December
   31, 1997 and June 30, 1997.  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 decreased $13.0 million or 2.6% since year end and increased
   $4.5 million or .9% from last year.  Total borrowed funds increased $44.3
   million since year end and by $61.7 million from last year.  Table 5 reflects
   the changes in the major classifications of deposits and borrowings by

CAPITAL RESOURCES:

   Total stockholders' equity increased $7.2 million or 12.6% from June 30, 1997
   and $3.0 million or 4.9% since year-end 1997.  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,
   1997, this portfolio had net unrealized losses while on June 30, 1998 and
