NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
March 31, 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
   three months ended March 31, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the
   results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 1997.

   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, 1997, 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 2.  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. 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 $8.1 million and commitments to extend credit totaled $80.3 million at
   March 31, 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.

   This Form 10-Q Report includes forward looking statements based on current
   management expectations.  The Company's actual results could differ
   materially from those management expectations and the results discussed in
   these forward looking statements.  Factors that could cause such a difference
   include, but are not limited to, general economic conditions, legislative and
   regulatory changes, monetary and fiscal policies of the federal government,
   changes in real estate values, interest rates, deposit flows, the cost of
   funds, demand for loan products, demand for financial services, competition,
   changes in the quality or composition of the Company's loan and investment
   portfolios, changes in accounting principles, policies or guidelines, and
   other economic, competitive, governmental and technological factors affecting
   the Company's operations, markets, products, services and prices.

   Total assets of PennRock increased $44.7 million or 6.9% since the end of
   1997 and by $99.7 million or 16.8% over March 31, 1997.  The increases in
   assets were reflected in increases in securities available for sale and loans
   outstanding.  Most of the growth has been funded by short-term borrowings
   which increased $56.7 million from year end 1997 and $28.5 from the first
   quarter of last year.

   Income from continuing operations for the current quarter was $2.4 million or
   $.39 per share compared with $2.1 million or $.34 per share for the first
   quarter of 1997, an increase of $279,000 or 13.4%.  The total loss from
   discontinued operations recognized in the first quarter of 1997 totaled
   $177,000 or $.03 per share.  Operations of the discontinued subsidiary were
   terminated in the fourth quarter of 1997 and had no impact on income in 1998.
   Net income for the first quarter of 1998 was $2.4 million or $.39 per share
   compared with $1.9 million or $.31 per share for the first quarter of last
   year, an increase of $456,000 or 23.9%.

   Net interest income increased $407,000 from the first quarter of 1997 due to
   primarily to volume increases, while other income excluding security gains
   increased $22,000 and other expenses increased $226,000.

   Dividends declared for the quarter totaled $789,000 or $.13 per share.  This
   represented 33.4% of net income.  Dividends declared during the first quarter
   of last year were $725,000 or $.12 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%.

   Table 1 presents net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis for
   the first quarter 1998 and 1997.  For the first quarter of 1998, net interest
   income on a fully taxable equivalent basis totaled $6.8 million, an increase
   of $580,000 or 9.3% from $6.3 million earned for the same period of 1997.

   Table 2 presents the average balances, taxable equivalent interest income and
   expense and rates for PennRock's assets and liabilities for the three months
   ended March 31, 1998 and 1997.  For the first quarter of 1998 compared with
   the first quarter of 1997, net interest income increased due to increases in
   volumes while the interest spread and margin decreased.  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 $148,000 for the first
   quarter of 1998 compared with $30,000 for the first quarter of last year. 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 first quarter of 1998 and
   1997.

NON-PERFORMING ASSETS

   Table 4 reflects PennRock's non-performing assets at March 31, 1998, December
   31, 1997 and March 31, 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 on 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 $15.7 million or 3.2% since year end and increased
   $21.9 million or 4.8% from last year.  Total borrowings increased $55.4
   million since year end and by $67.2 million from last year.  Table 5 reflects
   the changes in the major classifications of deposits and borrowings by
   comparing the balances at the end of the first quarter of 1998 with year-end
   and the first quarter of 1997.

CAPITAL RESOURCES:

   Total stockholders' equity increased $9.0 million or 16.8% from March 31,
   1997 and $1.2 million or 2.0% 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 March 31
   1997, this portfolio had a net unrealized loss.  On December 31, 1997 and
   March 31, 1998, the portfolio had net unrealized profits.

   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.  The Company began open market repurchases of its<PAGE>
   outstanding common stock in 1995.  Since the program was adopted PennRock has
   repurchased 179,790 shares of which 12,286 shares were held as treasury
   shares as of March 31, 1998.

   Table 6 shows PennRock's capital resources at March 31, 1998 and at December
   31 and March 31, 1997.  PennRock and its subsidiary bank exceed all minimum
   capital guidelines.

YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE

   During 1997, we formed a committee with a goal of ensuring that all of the
   Company's operational and financial systems will not be adversely affected by
   year 2000 software problems.  The committee is comprised of members from loan
   and deposit operations, branch administration, trust services, security,
   audit and senior management.  The Board of Directors and senior management
   are supporting all compliance efforts and are allocating the necessary
   resources to complete the project within the timeframe established by the
   committee and bank regulators.  An inventory of all systems, software and
   outside service providers that could be affected by the year 2000 date change
   has been developed and categorized as to importance to the Company in its
   ability to continue normal operations.  All software used for the Company's
   systems is supplied by software vendors or outside service providers.  We are
   requiring all software vendors and outside service providers to represent
   that the products or services they provide are or will be year 2000
   compliant, beginning with those processes identified as the most critical.
   We are also requesting information from them on testing procedures so that we
   may verify compliance.  Alternative sources will be identified for those
   vendors or service providers that will not be year 2000 compliant within the
   timeframe established.  We are also contacting our large commercial loan and
   deposits customers to determine if they are aware of the Year 2000 problem
   and their level of compliance.  We do not expect the costs of evaluating and
   testing the Company's systems for year 2000 compliance to have a material
   effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations or
   liquidity.
