ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
        CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
EARNINGS OVERVIEW
 
    The Corporation reported net income for the six months ended June 30, 
1997 of $5,247,000, or $1.04 per common share. This compares to $4,666,000, 
or $.92 per share, for the six-month period ended June 30, 1996 and $.91 per 
share for the six month period ended December 31, 1996. Income for the 
six-month period ended June 30, 1997 increased 13.04 percent when compared to 
the same six - month period in 1996. The increase was the result of realized 
gains on the sale of certain equity investments and the sale of a copyright. 
The gross realized gains amounted to $807,000; this compares to realized 
gains reported June 30, 1996 of $268,000 and $207,000 for the last six months 
of 1996. The directors and management of the Corporation expect that 1997 
will produce results comparable to those reported for 1996. This assumption 
is based on the current interest rate environment and could change if the 
FOMC decides to raise rates again in 1997.
 
NET INTEREST MARGIN 
Six-Month Periods Ended June 30, 1997/1996
 
    The net spread between the rate of return on earning assets and the cost of
interest-bearing liabilities declined slightly when compared to the six-month
period ended June 30, 1996. The net spread for the six-month periods ended June
30, 1997 and June 30, 1996 was 3.48 percent and 3.55 percent, respectively. The
net spread for the year ended December 31, 1996 was 3.49 percent. The gross rate
of return on earning assets for the six-month periods ended June 30, 1997, June
30, 1996 and the year ended December 31, 1996 was 8.30 percent, 8.31 percent and
8.29 percent, respectively. The average cost of interest-bearing liabilities for
the same periods was 4.82 percent, 4.76 percent and 4.80 percent, respectively.
Interest rates have remained relatively flat since the FOMC increased the
Federal Funds rate by 25 basis points at its April 1997 meeting. The Corporation
is anticipating very little change in the current rate structure for the balance
of the third quarter with a possible small hike in the fourth quarter.
 
    The average rate of return on the portfolio of Available-for-Sale
investments remained nearly unchanged during the periods being compared.
However, the average balance for the six-month period ended June 30, 1997 has 
declined about $16,000,000 when compared to the average outstanding balances 
held for the six months ended June 30, 1996. Average balances have declined 
just over $13,000,000 since December 31, 1996. The decrease is caused by 
payments on mortgage-backed securities being used to fund loan demand. The 
payment stream on the mortgage-backed instruments averages about $2,100,000 
per month.
 
    Average gross loans for the periods ended June 30, 1997, December 31, 1996
and June 30, 1996 totaled $281,059,000, $271,618,000 and $264,895,000,
respectively. The composition of the portfolio has remained unchanged with loans
secured by real estate remaining the largest single category of loans. Other
loan categories also remained unchanged with the exception of consumer loans
which declined slightly. The average rate of return on the loan portfolio has
declined slightly from 10.46 percent for the six months ended June 30 1996 to
the current 10.28 percent. The loan portfolio returned 10.31 percent for the
year ended December 31, 1996.
 
    On the liability side of the balance sheet, average total interest-bearing
deposit balances have stayed at nearly the same level for the periods ended June
30, 1997 and June 30, 1996. Average interest-bearing balances for the periods,
respectively, amounted to $390,698,000 and $388,999,000. Average interest-
bearing balances for the year ended December 31, 1997 were $386,536,000. The
Corporation still maintains a strong base of Money Market accounts and average
balances have increased more than $7,000,000 since the period ended June 30,
1996. Other deposit categories have remained flat or declined slightly. The
corporation has had difficulty attracting deposits due to the flow of funds into
mutual funds and the competition in our market area from credit unions.
 
    Average borrowed funds for the six months ended June 30, 1997 have decreased
$5,489,000 when compared to the six months ended June 30, 1996 and $7,448,000
when compared to the year ended December 31, 1996. The decline will more than
likely continue into 1997 as the yield curve remains relatively flat. Investment
opportunities with spreads large enough to make the risk worthwhile are scarce.
 
    Management is expecting interest rates to increase another 25 basis points
in the last half of 1997, possibly in the last quarter of the year.
 
    Tables I and II are provided to reflect average balances and rates paid for
the quarters ended June 30, 1997, June 30, 1996 and the year ended December 31,
1996, respectively.

ALLOWANCE FOR POSSIBLE LOAN LOSSES
 
    The Allowance for Possible Loan Losses is a reserve established by
management, which it believes will be adequate to absorb future loan losses
based on management's assessment of the quality of the total loan portfolio. The
assessment is performed on an ongoing basis and reviewed by the Board of
Directors quarterly.
 
    The quarterly assessment process is conducted by a loan quality committee
which consists of the President, Chief Financial Officer, Executive Vice
Presidents in charge of loans and branch administration and the Auditor. The
committee reviews the "Watch List", a collection of loans that have had a
history of delinquency, past due reports, nonperforming loans and historical
information related to charge-offs and recoveries by loan categories.
 
    The committee then allocates the reserve balance across the various loan
categories to determine the unallocated portion. The committee uses two methods
of allocation. The first calculates a ratio of average losses by type to the
average outstanding balance by type. The ratio is then applied to the current
outstanding balance of the various loan categories to determine the portion of
the reserve to be allocated. The second method extracts loans by a quality
rating system. The loans are categorized as "Substandard", "Doubtful" and
"Loss". Regulatory guidelines of 15 percent of substandard, 50 percent of
doubtful and 100 percent of loss are applied to establish reserve allocations.
The following allocations are as of March 31, 1997 as the committee had not
completed the second quarter review at this writing. The second quarter
allocations should not vary greatly from those of the first quarter presented
here. The Corporation also employs and relies heavily on an independent loan
appraiser. However, his work is only performed annually and on loans of $175,000
or higher. Although the 1997 appraisal has been completed the report will not be
available until late in August.
 
    Other factors used to evaluate the reserve level are loan growth, economic
conditions of the market area and peer group comparisons.
 
    Tables III through VI present current and historical information related to
the Allowance for Possible Loan Losses.

</TABLE>
 
    Total Other Income increased 29.6 percent when comparing the six months
ended June 30, 1997 to the same six-month period in 1996 and 20.4 percent when
compared to the six months beginning July 1, 1996 and ending December 31, 1996.
Other Operating Income consists of Service Charges on Deposit Accounts, Other
Service Charges and Fees, Trust Department Income, Insurance Commissions and
Fees, and Other Operating Income. The significant increase recorded during the
six-month period being reviewed was due to the sale of a registered logo owned
by the Corporation; the copyright was sold for $301,000.
 
    Service Charges on Deposit Accounts consist of fees generated by the use of
the deposit accounts and overdraft charges. There was not a significant change
when comparing the six months ended June 30, 1997 to the six months ended
December 31, 1996 or the six months ended June 30, 1996. The fees collected
monthly are nearly evenly split between overdraft charges and checking account
maintenance. The total monthly fees collected average about $92,000.
 
    Other Service Charges and Fees is comprised of debit card fees, credit card
annual fees, fees for issuing official checks, noncustomer check cashing fees
and other miscellaneous fees. A comparison of the current six-month period, the
previous six months and the six months ended June 30, 1996 reveals a negligible
amount of change. Normally, the miscellaneous fees average about $22,000 per
month.
 
    Trust Department Income is the second largest contributor to noninterest
income, excluding realized securities gains. Income generated by the Trust
Department for the six months ended June 30, 1997, December 31, 1996 and June
30, 1996, respectively, amounted to $510,000, $464,000 and $388,000. The
observable increase in Trust income is due to an increase in the number of
accounts under management and the increase in the market value of the trust
assets. There has been an increase of nearly 100 accounts since June 30, 1996.
The Trust Department normally contributes $80,000 to $85,000 in income per
month.
 
    Insurance Commissions, Fees and Premiums generated by Bucktail Life
Insurance Company for the six-month periods June 30, 1997, December 31, 1996 and
June 30, 1996 were $233,000, $287,000 and $268,000, respectively. Premiums
generated in the six months ended December 31, 1996 were slightly higher than
the other comparable six month periods as it included seven months of premium
income. Also, life premiums experienced a decline from an average of $17,000 per
month during 1996 to $10,000 per month during the current six-month period. 
The insurance company writes life and accident and health insurance on the 
bank's consumer loan portfolio. 

    Other Operating Income for the six months ended June 30, 1997, December 
31, 1996 and June 30, 1996 amounted to $363,000, $27,000 and $20,000, 
respectively. The large increase posted during the six-month period ended 
June 30, 1997 reflects the sale of the copyright mentioned earlier. Also 
posted during the first six months of 1997 was $18,000 in income associated 
with the Corporation's Supplemental Retirement Plan. This income had 
previously been added back to the Asset account. Other Operating Income is 
normally $8,000 to $12,000 per month.
 
    Realized Securities Gains and Losses amounted to $807,000 during the 
first six months of 1997. The recognized gains were primarily from the sale 
of bank stocks which management and the Board of Directors felt had become 
overpriced in relation to the book value and some had been driven up in price 
because of merger speculation. It was deemed appropriate to lock in the 
appreciated value. The Corporation also sold two thirds of it Student Loan 
portfolio due to disappointing returns on that asset; a premium amounting to 
$28,000 was realized.

</TABLE>
 
    Other Noninterest Expense consists of Salaries and Wages, Pension and Other
Benefit Expense, Furniture and Equipment Expense and Other Operating Expense.
 
    Salaries and Wages increased $44,000 when comparing the six-month periods
ended June 30, 1997 and June 30, 1996 and no increase when comparing the
six-month period ended December 31, 1996 to the current six-month period. The
absence of an increase in salaries and wages even after merit increases can be
attributed to several retirements, including the Corporation's President's.
 
    The increase in Pensions and Other Employee Benefits when comparing the
six-month periods ended June 30, 1997 and June 30, 1996 was negligible at 2
percent. When comparing the current period to the six months ended December 31,
1996, the increase amounted to 5.5 percent due to the payment of accumulated
sick days to 1996 retirees and adjustments made to budgeted contributions to the
401 (k) Plan in December 1996 as annual income figures were known. 

    Furniture and Equipment Expense amounted to $355,000, $354,000 and 
$367,000, respectively, for the six-month periods ended June 30, 1997, 
December 31, 1996 and June 30, 1996. Furniture and Fixtures Expense consists 
of maintenance, rental and depreciation and normally does not vary 
significantly, averaging $115,000 to $120,000 per month. Other Operating 
Expense averages between $450,000 and $500,000 per month. The five largest 

    Other Operating Expense categories are credit card processing costs, 
Pennsylvania Shares Tax, Bucktail Life Ins. Co. commissions and fees, 
advertising, postage and Directors' fees. Combined they make up 62 percent of 
Other Operating Expense. The largest contributor to Other Operating Expense 
is credit card processing costs. Credit card processing costs amounted to 
$1,151,000 for the current six-month period and $1,022,000 during the same 
period in 1996; for the six-month period ended December 31, 1996 costs 
amounted to $1,199,000. On the income side, credit cards generated interest 
and fees amounting to $1,839,000 for the six month period ended June 30, 
1997, contributing net monthly income of about $110,000.
 
    Other Operating Expense increased 13 percent and 2 percent, respectively,
when comparing the six-month periods ended June 30, 1996 and December 31, 1996
to the current six-month period.

        of Operations (continued)
 
STATEMENT OF CONDITION
 
    Average total assets of the Corporation have remained relatively unchanged
during the past year. Average total assets, for the six-month periods ended June
30, 1997, June 30, 1996 and the year ended December 31, 1996 were $604,380,000,
$603,282,000 and $604,408,000, respectively. 

    The asset side of the balance sheet saw a decline in the average 
investment portfolio as the amortization of the mortgage-backed investments 
was used to fund loan growth. The municipal bond portfolio has increased from 
an average balance of $46,201,000 during the six-month period ended June 
30,1996 to $57,902,000 at the end of the current six-month period. The 
increase is due to the favorable after tax returns available on tax free 
investments. The respective average balance of the loan portfolio was 
$264,895,000, $281,059,000 and $271,618,000 for the six-month periods ended 
June 30, 1997, June 30, 1996 and the year ended December 31, 1996. The loan 
growth was centered around real estate secured loans as other loan categories 
showed little or no change. Consumer loans did decline slightly as just over 
$2,000,000 in students loans were sold.
 
    There are no immediate plans to make any changes in the asset structure of
the Corporation. Mortgage-backed securities will continue to pay down about
$2,100,000 per month and be used to fund loans as the demand requires.
 
    The liability side of the balance sheet has also remained relatively
constant during the past twelve to fifteen months. Average total deposits have
begun to show some improvement after a lackluster 1996. Interest Checking,
Individual Retirement Accounts and Certificates of Deposit did decline slightly
during 1996; however, the decline was offset by the strength of the Money Market
Accounts which continue to exhibit growth. Total average borrowed funds have
declined to an average balance of $93,673,000 for the six-month period ended
June 30, 1996. This compares to an annual average of $101,121,000 for 1996 and a
six-month average of $99,162,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1997. The
decrease is the result of paying off borrowings of $4,850,000 in April 1997 and
$10,000,000 in June 1997. The primary source of borrowed funds is repurchase
agreements placed with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh and other
brokers. Terms of the Repurchase Agreements range from one to five years. Other
borrowed funds are in the form of term loans with the Federal Home Loan Bank of
Pittsburgh which are secured by a blanket security agreement.

    Interest rate fluctuations cause the market value of the investment
portfolio to vary by wide margins during periods of rising and falling rates.
The net adjustments to capital for June 30, 1997, December 31, 1996 and June 30,
1996 were $7,228,000, $5,767,000 and $2,315,000, respectively. Interest rates
have stabilized during the second quarter of 1997 after a slight rise in the
first quarter. Management expects rates to remain about the same for the
remainder of 1997.
 
    The Corporation's capital remains well in excess of regulatory guidelines
and will be discussed later in Management's Discussion and Analysis.
 
LIQUIDITY AND INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY
 
    The Corporation is able to absorb short term deposit fluctuations or meet
unusually heavy loan demand, should either occur, by using a flexline of credit
available through the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh, repurchase
agreements or payments derived from amortizing investments. The flexline of
credit provides the Corporation with a credit line which approximates 10 percent
of the Corporation's borrowing capacity, or about $28.5 million. Repurchase
agreements are secured with mortgage-backed instruments. The maturities of the
repurchase agreements generally range from one to five years. The Corporation
also has credit lines with correspondent banks totaling approximately
$15,000,000 and amortizing payments received on the investment portfolio amount
to about $2,100,000 each month.
 
    The Corporation uses a computer model to measure the theoretical effect of
increases or decreases in interest rates on the market value and the net
interest margin. The model shocks the rate of return on the earning assets of
the bank and the rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities. The rate shock is
applied to the assets and liabilities based on the stated maturity of the asset
or liability. For instance, Money Market accounts reprice weekly; therefore the
rate is shocked immediately. One, two and three hundred basis points are the
shock intervals. The Asset and Liability Policy set by the Board of Directors
imposes limits on the change in net interest income and market value of
portfolio equity at a 200 basis point increase in interest rates. Net interest
income may not decline more than 20 percent and the change in market value of
portfolio equity may not decline more than 25 percent. The Board of Directors
feels that the parameters are reasonable based on the capital strength of the
Corporation.
 
    Capital expenditures planned during the next 12 months could amount to
$1,000,000. The largest of these will be the installation of Automated Teller
Machines at an estimated cost of between $200,000 and $500,000 depending on the
type and number installed. Other expenditures for capital assets between now and
December 31, 1997 will amount to approximately $500,000. The planned capital
expenditures will not have an adverse effect on liquidity or projected earnings
of the Corporation.
