NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
September 30, 1999
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.  PennRock Insurance Group Inc., a wholly owned
  subsidiary of the Bank, began operations in the first quarter of 1999 to
  offer and sell annuity products.
  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, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results
  that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 1999.

  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 1998 Annual Report to shareholders.

<PAGE>                                  8

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 $18.6 million and commitments to extend credit totaled $113.4 million at
  September 30, 1999.  Management does not anticipate any significant loss as a
  result of these transactions.

NOTE 3. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

  In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
  Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 (_SFAS 133_), _Accounting for
  Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities._  The provisions of this
  statement require that derivative instruments be carried at fair value on the
  balance sheet.  The statement continues to allow derivative instruments to be
  used to hedge various risks and sets forth specific criteria to be used to
  determine when hedge accounting can be used.  The statement also provides for
  offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows of both the derivative and the
  hedged asset or liability to be recognized in earnings in the same period;
  however, any changes in fair value or cash flow that represent the
  ineffective portion of a hedge are required to be recognized in earnings and
  cannot be deferred.  For derivative instruments not accounted for as hedges,
  changes in fair value are required to be recognized in earnings.  The
  provisions of this statement become effective for quarterly and annual
  reporting beginning January 1, 2001.  PennRock has no plans to adopt the
  provisions of SFAS 133 prior to the effective date.  The impact of adopting
  the provisions of this statement on PennRock's financial position, results of
  operations and cash flows subsequent to the effective date is not currently
  estimable and will depend on the financial position of the Company and the
  nature and purpose of the derivative instruments in use by management at that
  time.

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.
  (PennRock or the Company) and subsidiaries, Blue Ball National Bank (the
  Bank) and its insurance subsidiary, PennRock Insurance Group Inc. (the
  Insurance Group).  This discussion should be read in conjunction with the
  financial statements which appear elsewhere in this report.

  YEAR 2000 READINESS DISCLOSURE

  The Company, like all companies that use computer technology is facing
  significant challenges associated with the inability of computer systems to
  recognize the year 2000.  Many existing computer programs and systems use
  only two digits to identify the calendar year in the date field.  These
  programs and systems were designed and developed without considering the
  impact on the upcoming change in the century and, as a result, would read the
  year 00 as 1900 rather than 2000.  This could result in a system failure or
  miscalculations causing disruptions of operations including the inability to
  process transactions or engage in normal business activities.  Software, data
  processing hardware, and other equipment both within and outside the
  Company's direct control are likely to be affected.  In addition, under
  certain circumstances, failure to adequately address the year 2000 issue
  could adversely affect the viability of the Company's suppliers and creditors
  and the creditworthiness of its borrowers.  Therefore, if not adequately
  addressed, the Year 2000 Problem could result in a significant adverse impact
  on the Company's products, services and competitive condition.

  In 1997, management formed a Year 2000 Project Committee (the Committee) to
  establish and implement a Year 2000 Plan (the Plan) to mitigate exposure to
  the Year 2000 issues.  Goals of the Plan included identifying risks, testing
  software, hardware and equipment used by the Company for Year 2000 readiness,
  establishing contingency plans for non-compliant systems, vendors and other
  service providers, implementing changes to achieve Year 2000 readiness and
  verifying that systems are Year 2000 compliant.  The Committee reports to the
  Board of Directors on a monthly basis.

  The Committee designed the Plan to comply with the requirements and deadlines
  established by the Comptroller of the Currency (the OCC).  The OCC has
  performed Year 2000 examinations of the Plan and the Committee's progress in
  implementing the plan.  However, federal regulations prevent the disclosure
  of the results of such examinations nor do they represent approval or
  certification of individual plans or Year 2000 compliance.

  The following is a description of the Plans phases, degree of completion and
  deadlines:

</TABLE>
  As of the end of the second quarter of 1999, the Committee has met all of its
  goals.

<PAGE>                                  11

  Because of the exposure to the operations of the Company from the failure of
  large customers negatively impacted by the 2000 problem, the Committee also
  implemented a plan to assess the readiness of the Company's largest business
  loan and deposit customers.  A questionnaire was prepared and completed for
  existing large business customers.  To date, all existing large business
  customers have been contacted.  For all new business customers, we have
  amended our loan documents to include a statement of Year 2000 compliance by
  the business customer.

  The Committee has also opened communications with other significant third
  parties in addition to large business customers.  These third parities
  include vendors, utilities, correspondent financial institutions and
  governmental agencies.  The Committee wanted to determine the extent to which
  these third parties are vulnerable to failures to remediate their own
  potential Year 2000 problems.  Our plans include tasks to monitor Year 2000
  remediation progress for third parties throughout 1999 and to develop
  contingency plans for threatened failures.  Despite ongoing monitoring and
  communications with these third parties, we do not have sufficient
  information to estimate the likelihood of significant disruptions
  attributable to such parties.  Failure of a third party to fully address its
  Year 2000 issues could have an adverse effect on the business, operations and
  financial condition of the Company.

  Although computer failure by third parties could disrupt the Company's
  operations, the severity would depend on the nature and duration of the
  failure.  The most serious effect on the operations of the Company would
  result if basic services provided by correspondent financial institutions and
  governmental agencies were disrupted.  Computer failures by correspondent
  financial institutions and governmental agencies could affect the Company's
  ability to send or receive checks, process automatic teller machine
  transactions, access funding sources, or process outgoing or incoming wire
  and other electronic transfers.  Potential disruptions to telecommunications
  and electric power in connection with Year 2000 issues could result in
  interference with the Company's normal operations.  We cannot estimate the
  likelihood, extent, or costs associated with such potential disruptions.

  While the Plan includes tasks to assess, remediate and test the Company's
  systems to address Year 2000 processing issues, the Plan also contains tasks
  for developing contingency plans.  These contingency plans are intended to
  provide alternative processes and actions in the event of systems
  malfunctions or failures due to Year 2000 issues.  Business resumption
  contingency plans address the actions that would be taken if key business
  processes could not be performed in the normal manner due to Year 2000
  related system or third party failures.  The Committee has developed business
  resumption contingency plans for each key business process.  We completed the
  testing of the viability of the contingency plans by the end of the second
  quarter of 1999.

<PAGE>                                  12

  Because the Company does not write any of the software used in any of its
  high or medium priority processes, and because all vendors of software and
  hardware used by the Company have provided Year 2000 compliant upgrades, the
  costs that have been or are expected to be incurred to achieve Year 2000
  readiness are not significant.  To date, the Company has incurred
  approximately $150,000 in costs to upgrade existing systems of which
  approximately $100,000 was spent in 1999.

  We believe that we are taking reasonable steps to address and remediate Year
  2000 issues especially with respect to mission-critical systems.  However, we
  are not able to predict the effects of public reaction on the Company's own
  operations, the financial markets or the worldwide economy.  Because of this
  uncertainty, we can make no representation that all of our systems and
  especially those of significant third parties will be Year 2000 compliant or
  that the Company will not be adversely affected by Year 2000 issues.

  FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

  In our this report, we have included certain forward looking statements
  relating to such matters as anticipated financial performance, business
  prospects, technological developments, new products and similar matters.  The
  Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe harbor for
  forward looking statements.  In order to comply with the terms of the safe
  harbor, we must inform you that a variety of factors could cause the
  Company's actual results and experiences to differ materially from the
  anticipated results or other expectations expressed in these forward looking
  statements.  Our ability to predict the results or the effect of future plans
  and strategies is inherently uncertain.  Factors that could affect future
  results include changes in market interest rates, local and national economic
  trends and conditions, competition for products and services, changes in
  customer preferences, legislative and regulatory changes, delinquency rates
  on loans, changes in accounting principles, policies or guidelines, or the
  failure of major customers, vendors or suppliers.  You should consider these
  factors in evaluating any forward looking statements and not place undue
  reliance on such statements.  We are not obligated to publicly update any
  forward looking statements we may make in this report to reflect the impact
  of subsequent events.

  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

  Total assets of PennRock increased $85.6 million or 11.7% since the end of
  1998 and by $116.2 million or 16.6% over September 30, 1998.  The increases
  in assets were reflected in increases in securities available for sale and
  loans outstanding and were funded primarily through growth of interest
  bearing deposits.

  Net income for the current quarter was $2.6 million or $.43 per share
  compared with $2.3 million or $.38 per share for the third quarter of 1998,
  an increase of $242,000 or 10.5%.  Dividends paid in the third quarter of
  1999 totaled $891,000 or $.15 per share and $787,000 or $.13 per share for
  the third quarter of 1998.

  For the first nine months of 1999, net income totaled $8.1 million or $1.35
  per share compared with $7.3 million or $1.20 per share for the first nine
  months of 1998.  Net interest income increased $1.1 million from the first
  nine months of 1998 while non-interest income excluding security gains
  increased $485,000 and non-interest expenses increased $837,000.  Dividends
  of $2.7 million or $.45 per share in the first three quarters of 1999
  compared with $2.4 million or $.39 in 1998.  The dividend payout ratio was
  33% in 1999 and 32% in 1998.

  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 1999 and 1998.  For the third
  quarter of 1998, net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis
  totaled $7.1 million, an increase of $1.1 million or 19.1% from $5.9 million
  earned for the same period of 1997.  For the first nine months of 1998, net
  interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis totaled $20.8 million, an
  increase of $2.5 million or 13.5% from $18.4 million earned for the first
  nine months of 1997.

PROVISION AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

  The provision for loan losses charged to earnings was $277,000 for the third
  quarter of 1999 compared with $311,000 for the third quarter of last year.
  The provision for the first nine months of 1999 was $723,000 compared with
  $673,000 for 1998.  The provision is based on management's estimate of the
  amount needed to maintain an adequate allowance for loan losses.  Although
  Table 4 shows that the level of non-performing assets is relatively low, the
  allowance for loan losses was below management's target ratio relative to
  loans outstanding.  Therefore, management elected to increase the loan loss
  provision in 1999.  As a result, the ratio of the allowance for loan losses
  to period-end loans increased from 1.10% last year to 1.20% this year.  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 1999 and 1998.

NON-PERFORMING ASSETS

  Table 4 reflects PennRock's non-performing assets at September 30, 1999,
  December 31, 1998 and September 30, 1998.  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-
