SLIPPERY ROCK FINANCIAL CORPORATION
FORM 10KSB
Part I

Item 1.   Description of the Business

General
- -------

Slippery Rock Financial Corporation ("Company") is a one bank holding company
organized under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.  In addition,
the Company is registered with and supervised by the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System (the Federal Reserve Board).  On June 30, 1992, The
First National Bank of Slippery Rock (Bank) completed the reorganization of
the Bank into a holding company structure through the exchange of the
outstanding shares of common stock for shares of common stock of Slippery Rock
Financial Corporation (Company).  The Company's primary business is the
holding of all of the outstanding common shares of its wholly-owned
subsidiary, The First National Bank of Slippery Rock.  The Company's primary
source of income has been dividends paid by the Bank.

The Bank is nationally chartered and is a member of the Federal Reserve
System.  The Bank's deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation (FDIC) and is a full-service institution and offers various demand
and time deposit products and originates secured and unsecured commercial,
consumer and mortgage loans.

The Bank has two offices located in Slippery Rock, Pennsylvania and one each
in the communities of Prospect, Portersville, and Grove City, Pennsylvania. 
In addition, on August 19, 1996,  the Bank purchased the Harrisville,
Pennsylvania branch of Mellon Bank, N.A..  In addition to its retail
locations, the Bank has an operations center located in  Slippery Rock
Township.

Supervision and Regulation
- --------------------------

The Company is subject to the jurisdiction of the Securities and Exchange
Commission ("SEC") as a "small business" filer as defined under Item 10 of
Regulation S-B and accordingly, has elected to make its SEC filings under the
disclosure requirements afforded to small business companies.

Slippery Rock Financial Corporation is also subject to the provisions of the
Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended ("Bank Holding Company Act") and
to the supervision of the Federal Reserve Board.  The Bank Holding Company Act
requires Slippery Rock Financial Corporation to receive prior approval of the
Federal Reserve Board before it owns or controls more than 5% of the voting
shares of any financial institution.

A bank holding company is prohibited from engaging in or acquiring control of
more than 5% of the voting shares of any company engaged in non- banking
activities unless the Federal Reserve Board views the activities to be closely
related to banking or managing or controlling banks.  In addition, the Bank
Holding Company Act prohibits changes in control of a bank holding company
without prior notice to the Federal Reserve Board.

Slippery Rock Financial Corporation is required to file an annual report with
the Federal Reserve Board and any additional information as required.  The
Federal Reserve Board may also require examinations of Slippery Rock Financial
Corporation or any or all of its subsidiaries.

The Federal Reserve Act applies certain restrictions on a bank subsidiary of a
bank holding company regarding extensions of credit to the bank holding
company or any of its other subsidiaries, investments in stocks or other
securities of the bank holding company or the use of such stocks or securities
as collateral to any borrower.

Legislation and Regulatory Changes
- ----------------------------------

Changes and proposed changes to laws and regulations applicable to banks and
bank holding companies are frequently made by the various legislative and
regulatory bodies.  No predictions as to the impact these changes may have on
Slippery Rock Financial Corporation or its subsidiary can be made.

<PAGE>
The Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF") insures deposits of commercial banks, (such as
The First National Bank of Slippery Rock) while the Savings Association
Insurance Fund ("SAIF") insures deposits of savings associations. The Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991,  ("FDICIA") 
established the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC")  insurance
assessment procedure as well as a time table to recapitalize both BIF and SAIF
to the Congressionally mandated level of 1.25% of total insured deposits.  In
June of 1995, the FDIC had determined that BIF had attained its
Congressionally mandated target.  FDIC then issued a refund of pre-paid
insurance premiums and reduced the insurance premium assessed to well
capitalized BIF institutions to the "de-minimus" of $2,000 per year. 
Because SAIF had not yet met its funding requirements, no action was taken
regarding the premium assessed to savings institutions, which created a
disparity in operational costs within the financial services industry,  On
September 30, 1996, as part of the fiscal 1997 federal budget, legislative
action established a one-time fee assessment to savings institutions of 65.7
cents per one hundred dollars of SAIF insurable deposits to bring the SAIF
fund to full capitalization.  In addition, the insurance premium charged to
SAIF insured institutions was reduced to 6.44 cents for years 1997 through
1999.  The insurance premium charged to BIF insured institutions was increased
to 1.29 cents per one hundred dollars of insurable deposits for the same time
period.  In the year 2000, both BIF and SAIF insured institutions would begin
paying deposit insurance premiums of 2.43 cents.  Management estimates FDIC
insurance costs for 1997 to be approximately $20,000 and does not anticipate
the higher insurance premiums to have a significant impact upon future
earnings.

On September 29, 1994, the President signed into law the Riegle-Neal
Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994 ( the "Interstate
Banking Act").  Under  the Interstate Banking Act, the Federal Reserve Board,
subsequent to analytical review, may approve an application by the Company to
acquire all or substantially all of the assets of a bank located outside of
the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania  regardless of  whether such a transaction is
prohibited under the law of any state.  In addition, the Interstate Banking
Act provides that, beginning June 1, 1997, federal supervisory agencies may
approve a merger of the Bank with another bank located in a different state or 
the establishment of a new branch office either by acquisition or "de novo"
unless the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania enacts legislation prior to that date 
which specifically allows or prohibits a merger with a financial institution
in another state.  Management currently has no plans to engage in interstate
banking activities.

Government Monetary Policy
- --------------------------

Financial institutions may be affected by legislative changes and by the
monetary and fiscal policies of various legislative and regulatory bodies.  A
primary function of the Federal Reserve Board is to promote economic growth by
influencing interest rates and the national supply of money and credit.  The
Federal Reserve Board accomplishes this through the use of open market
activities of the buying and selling of U. S. Government securities, by
changing the discount rate on bank borrowings and by changing the level of
reserve requirements on bank deposits.

All of these instruments of monetary policy are used in various combinations
to influence the volume of bank lending activity, the volume  of investment
and  deposit activity and  the interest rates charged on loans and  paid on
deposits. Because these instruments significantly influence short- term
interest rates, the monetary policies of the Federal Reserve Board have had a
significant effect on the operating results of banks in the past and are
expected to continue to do so in the future.

History and Business - Bank
- ---------------------------

The Bank's headquarters are located at 100 South Main Street, Slippery Rock,
Pennsylvania 16057.  The Bank had total assets, liabilities and total equity
of $195,689,000, $175,422,000 and $20,267,000 respectively at December 31,
1996.

The Bank is a full service financial institution, whose products and services
include the accepting of time and demand deposits, and the origination of
secured and unsecured commercial, mortgage and consumer loans.  In addition to
these services, the Bank also has a full service trust department.  The Bank's
business is not seasonal in nature.

At December 31, 1996, the Bank had 76 full-time employees and 25 part- time
employees.

Competition
- -----------

The Bank competes with other area commercial banks, savings and loan
institutions and credit unions.  In addition, the Bank competes with major
regional financial institutions headquartered in other areas of Pennsylvania.
The Bank also competes for deposits with other non financial institutions such
as those firms that offer mutual funds or insurance annuities.  Interest
charged on loans, interest paid on deposits and service charges on deposit
accounts are all comparable to competitors in the general market place.

Item 2.   Description of Property

The Bank has a drive through branch facility in addition to the Main banking
facility in Slippery Rock, Pennsylvania, as well as one full service branch
facility each in the communities of Prospect, Portersville, Harrisville,  and
Grove City, Pennsylvania.  The Bank also has an operations center located in
Slippery Rock Township.  While the Bank owns all of its facilities, it is
subject to a real estate mortgage obligation at its Prospect, Pennsylvania
location.  The details of which can be found in Note 9 of the notes to
financial statements on page 13 of the Company's 1996 annual report.

On August 19, 1996, the Bank acquired the Harrisville, Pennsylvania office of
Mellon Bank, N.A.  The details of the acquisition can be found in Note 16 of
the notes to financial statements on page 17 of the Company's 1996 annual
report.

Slippery Rock Financial Corporation's headquarters are located at the Bank's
Main office facility at 100 South Main Street, Slippery Rock, Pennsylvania,
16057.  The Company pays no rent or other form of consideration for the use of
the facility as its corporate headquarters.

 SLIPPERY ROCK FINANCIAL CORPORATION
 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- -------------------------------------------

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
- ---------------------------------------------

A summary of the significant accounting and reporting policies applied in the
presentation of the accompanying financial statements follows:

Principles of Consolidation
- ---------------------------

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Slippery Rock
Financial Corporation (the "Company") and its wholly-owned subsidiary, The
First National Bank of Slippery Rock (the "Bank").  All significant
intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The
investment in subsidiary on the parent company financial statements is carried
at the parent company's equity in the underlying net assets.

Slippery Rock Financial Corporation is a  Pennsylvania  company  organized to
become the  holding  company of the Bank. The First National Bank of Slippery
Rock is a national bank headquartered in Slippery Rock, Pennsylvania. The
Company's principal sources of revenues emanate from its portfolio of
residential real estate, commercial mortgage, commercial and consumer loans,
as well as trust and a variety of deposit services provided to its customers
through six locations.  The Company is supervised by the Board of Governors of
the Federal Reserve System, while the Bank is subject to regulation and
supervision by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency.

The accounting principles followed by the Company and its wholly-owned
subsidiary, the Bank, and the methods of applying these principles conform
with generally accepted accounting principles and with general practice within
the banking industry.  In preparing the financial statements, management is
required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and statement of
income.  Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

Investment Securities
- ---------------------

The Company  has classified  investment securities  into two  categories:  
Held to Maturity and Available for Sale. Debt securities acquired with the
intent to hold to maturity are stated at cost adjusted for amortization of
premium and accretion of discount which are computed using the interest method
and recognized as adjustments of interest income.  Certain other debt
securities have been classified as available for sale to serve principally as
a source of liquidity.  Unrealized holding gains and losses for available for
sale securities are reported as a separate component of stockholders' equity,
net of tax, until realized.  Realized security gains and losses are computed
using the specific identification method.  Interest and dividends on
investment securities are recognized as income when earned.

Loans
- -----

Loans are reported at their principal amount net of unearned income. Interest
from installment loans is recognized in income based on the sum-of-the-month's
digits method or accrual method depending on the date the loans were granted.  
Both methods result in approximate level rates of return over the terms of the
loans.   Interest on real estate mortgages and commercial loans is recognized
as income when earned on the accrual method.  The Company's general policy has
been to stop accruing interest on loans when it is determined that a
reasonable doubt exists as to the collectibility of additional interest.

Loan origination fees and certain direct loan origination costs are being
deferred and the net amount amortized as an adjustment of the related loan
yield.  The Company is amortizing these amounts over the contractual lives of
the related loans.

In general, fixed rate, permanent residential mortgage loans originated by the
Bank are held for sale and are carried  at  the  aggregate lower of cost or
market.  Such loans  are  sold  to  Federal  Home  Loan  Mortgage Corporation
("Freddie Mac") and serviced by the Bank.  In May, 1995,  the Financial
Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards ("SFAS") No. 122, "Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights," that
became effective for the Company  January 1, 1996.  This statement allows
enterprises engaged in mortgage banking activities to recognize as separate
assets the rights to service mortgage loans originated for sale. Additionally,
the Company must periodically assess its capitalized mortgage servicing rights
for impairment based on the fair value of those rights. The adoption of
Statement No. 122 did not have a material effect on its consolidated financial
condition or results of operations as of December 31, 1996.

Allowance for Loan Losses
- -------------------------

Effective January 1, 1995, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 114,  "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a
Loan," as amended by Statement No. 118.  Under this Standard, the Company
estimates credit losses on impaired loans based on the present value of
expected cash flows or fair value of the underlying collateral if the loan


                                     6

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
- ---------------------------------------------------------

Allowance for Loan Losses (Continued)
- -------------------------------------

repayment is expected to come from the sale or operation of such collateral. 
Prior to 1995, the credit losses related to these loans were estimated based
on undiscounted cash flows or the fair value of the underlying collateral. 
Statement 118 amends Statement 114 to permit a creditor to use existing
methods for recognizing interest income on impaired loans eliminating the
income recognition provisions of Statement 114.  The adoption of these
statements did not have a material effect on the Company's financial position
or results of operation.

Impaired loans are commercial and commercial real estate loans for which it is
probable that the Company will not be able to collect all amounts due
according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement.  The Company
individually evaluates such loans for impairment and does not aggregate loans
by major risk classifications.  The definition of "impaired loans" is not the
same as the definition of "nonaccrual loans," although the two categories
overlap.  The Company may choose to place a loan on nonaccrual status due to
payment delinquency or uncertain collectibility, while not classifying the
loan as impaired if the loan is not a commercial or commercial real estate
loan.  Factors considered by management in determining impairment include
payment status and collateral value.  The amount of impairment for these types
of impaired loans is determined by the difference between the present value of
the expected cash flows related to the loan, using the original interest
rate, and its recorded value, or, as a practical expedient in the case of
collateralized loans, the difference between  the fair value of the collateral
and the recorded amount of the loans.  When foreclosure is probable,
impairment is measured based on the fair value of the collateral.

Mortgage loans on one-to-four family properties and all consumer loans are
large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans and are measured for
impairment collectively.  Loans that experience insignificant payment delays,
which are defined as 90 days or less, generally are not classified as
impaired.  Management determines the significance of payment delays on a
case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances
surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the
borrower's prior payment record, and the amount of shortfall in relation to
the principal and interest owed.

The allowance for loan losses represents the amount which management estimates
is adequate to provide for potential losses in its loan portfolio.  The
allowance method is used in providing for loan losses.  Accordingly, all loan
losses are charged to the allowance and all recoveries are credit to it.  The
allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses
charged to operations.  The provision for loan losses is based on management's
periodic evaluation of individual loans, economic factors, past loan loss
experience, changes in the composition and volume of the portfolio, and other
relevant factors.  The estimates used in determining the adequacy of the
allowance for loan losses, including the amounts and timing of future cash
flows expected on impaired loans, are particularly susceptible to changes in
the near term.

Premises and Equipment
- ----------------------

Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. 
Depreciation is computed on both the straight-line and accelerated methods
over the estimated useful lives of the assets.  Expenditures for maintenance
and repairs are charged against income as incurred.  Costs of major additions
and improvements are capitalized.

Real Estate Owned
- -----------------

Real estate owned acquired in settlement of foreclosed loans is carried as a
component of other assets at the lower of cost or fair value minus estimated
cost to sell.  Valuation allowances for estimated losses are provided when the 
carrying value exceeds the fair value.  Direct costs incurred in the
foreclosure process and subsequent holding costs incurred on such properties
are recorded as expenses of current operations.

Intangible Assets
- -----------------

Intangible assets, the excess of cost over fair value of net assets acquired,
is amortized to expense using the straight-line method over the period
estimated to be benefited.   Included in other assets is the premium resulting
from the August 19, 1996 purchase of the Harrisville, Pennsylvania branch
office of Mellon Bank, N.A.

Trust Department
- ----------------

Trust Department assets (other than cash deposits) held by the Bank in
fiduciary or agency capacities for its customers are not included in the
balance sheet since such items are not assets of the Bank. In accordance with
industry practice, trust fees are recorded on the cash basis and approximate
the fees which would have been recognized on the accrual basis.

Income Taxes
- ------------

The Company and its subsidiary file a consolidated federal income tax return. 
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are reflected at currently enacted income
tax rates applicable to the period in which the deferred tax assets or
liabilities are expected to be realized or settled.  As changes in tax rates
are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the
provision for income taxes.

Employee Benefits
- -----------------

Pension and employee benefits include contributions, determined actuarially,
to a retirement plan covering the eligible employees of the Bank.  The plan is
funded on a current basis to the extent deductible under existing federal tax 
regulations.

Earnings Per Share
- ------------------

Earnings per share are calculated using the weighted average number of shares
outstanding.  All per share amounts have been restated for the effect of the
10% stock dividend in 1995 and the four-for one stock split in 1996.  The
weighted average number of shares outstanding were 1,378,124 for 1996 and
1995.

Cash Flow Information
- ---------------------

The Company has defined cash and cash equivalents as those amounts included in
the balance sheet captions Cash and due from banks, Federal funds sold, and
the demand deposit portion of Interest-bearing deposits in other banks.

Cash payments for interest in 1996 and 1995 were $5,734,818 and $4,744,784,
respectively.  Cash payments for income taxes for 1996 and 1995 amounted to
$972,000 and $960,000, respectively.

Non cash investing activity for 1995 included mortgages originated for the
sale of real estate owned totaling $388,200 and foreclosed mortgage loans
transferred to real estate owned of $529,838.

Pending Accounting Pronouncement
- --------------------------------

In June, 1996 the FASB issued SFAS No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers and
Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities."  This
statement requires that, after a transfer of financial assets, an entity
recognizes the financial and servicing assets it controls and the liabilities
it has incurred, derecognizes financial assets when control has been
surrendered, and derecognizes liabilities when extinguished.  This statement
provides consistent standards of distinguishing transfers of financial assets
that are sales  from transfers  that  are  secured  borrowings. This statement
is effective for transfers and servicing of financial assets and
extinguishment of liabilities occurring after December 31, 1996,  and is to be
applied prospectively.  Earlier or retroactive application is not permitted. 
Management does not anticipate that implementation of this statement will have
a material effect on its consolidated financial condition or results of
operation.

Reclassification of Comparative Amounts
- ---------------------------------------

Certain comparative amounts for the prior year have been reclassified to
conform to current year presentations. Such reclassifications had no effect on
net income.

Real estate loans serviced for Freddie Mac, which are not included in the
consolidated balance sheet, totaled $20,341,070 and $16,887,433 at December
31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

In the normal course of business, loans are extended to directors, executive
officers, and their associates.  In management's opinion, all of these loans
are on substantially the same terms and conditions as loans to other
individuals and businesses of comparable creditworthiness.  A summary of loan
activity for those directors, executive officers, and their associates with
aggregate loan balances in excess of $60,000 for the year ended December 31,
1996, is as follows:

           Balance                                            Balance

The Company's primary business activity is with customers located within its
local trade area.  Commercial, residential, personal, and agricultural loans
are granted.  Although the Company has a diversified loan portfolio at 
December 31, 1996, loans outstanding to individuals and businesses are
dependent upon the local economic conditions in the immediate trade area.

penalties for these borrowings.  As of December 31, 1996, the Company's total
borrowing limit was $4,172,000 for the Flexline advances.  Both FHLB credit
products are subject to annual renewal, incur no service charges, and are
secured by a blanket security agreement on outstanding residential mortgages.
As of December 31, 1996 short-term borrowings were comprised of $9,000,000 in
RepoPlus advances.  FHLB Flexline advances in the amount of $1,300,000 were

Plan assets consist primarily of certificates of deposit, money market and
equity mutual funds.

The weighted discount rate used to measure the projected benefit obligation is
7.5%, the rate of increase in future compensation levels is 5.0%, and the
long-term rate of return on assets is 7.5%.  The Bank uses the straight-line
method of amortization for prior service cost and unrecognized gains and
losses.

Stock Option Plan
- -----------------

On January 21, 1997, the Board of Directors approved, subject to shareholder
ratification at the annual meeting, the formation of the 1997 Incentive Stock
Option Plan ("ISOP") and the 1997 Directors Stock Option Plan ("Directors
Plan").  The ISOP  will provide for granting up to 100,000 shares of
authorized but unissued common stock to eligible salaried employees. The
Directors Plan will provide for 36,000 authorized but unissued shares of
common stock to be granted to nonemployee directors.  The per share exercise
price of an option granted will not be less than the fair value of a share of
common stock on the date the option is granted.

11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
- -----------------------------------------

Commitments
- -----------

In the normal course of business, there are various outstanding commitments
and contingent liabilities which are not reflected in the accompanying
financial statements. These commitments were comprised of the following at
December 31, 1996 and 1995:

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
                                                         1996           1995
                                                     -------------  -------------

<S>                                                 <C>            <C>
Commitments to extend credit                        $  23,097,600  $  19,230,000
Standby letters of credit and financial guarantees        539,400        284,000
                                                     -------------  -------------

     Total                                          $  23,637,000  $  19,514,000
                                                     =============  =============
</TABLE>

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as
there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Standby
letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank guaranteeing
performance by a customer to a third party.  Those guarantees are issued
primarily to support public and private borrowing arrangements including
commercial paper, bond financing, and similar transactions.  

Such commitments and standby letters of credit involve, to varying degrees,
elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized
in the financial statements.

The exposure to loss under these commitments is limited by subjecting them to
credit approval and monitoring procedures.  The amount of collateral obtained,
if deemed necessary by the Company, upon the extension of credit is based on
management's credit evaluation of the counterparty. Substantially all of the
commitments to extend  credit are  contingent upon customers maintaining
specific credit standards at the time of the loan  funding. Management
assesses the credit risk associated with certain commitments to extend credit
in determining the level of the allowance for loan losses.  Since many of the
commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total
contractual amounts do not necessarily represent future funding requirements.

Contingent Liabilities
- ----------------------

The Bank is involved in various legal actions from normal business activities. 
Management believes that the liability, if any, arising from such litigation
will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position.

12. COMMON STOCK
- ---------------

During the first quarter of 1996, the Board of Directors of the Company
approved an increase in the number of shares authorized from 1,000,000 to
3,000,000.  On April 9, 1996, the Board of Directors approved a four-for-one
stock split to shareholders of record on June 1, 1996.  The par value of the
stock was reduced from $1.00 per share to $0.25 per share.  As a result of the
stock split, the number of authorized shares was increased to 12,000,000.

<PAGE>     
12. COMMON STOCK (Continued)
- ---------------------------

On October 17, 1995, the Board of Directors declared a 10% stock dividend to
stockholders of record on November 15, 1995.  The fractional shares resulting
from the stock dividend were paid in cash.

Average shares outstanding and all per share amounts included in the financial
statements are based on the increased number of shares giving retroactive
effect to the stock split and stock dividend.

13. REGULATORY RESTRICTIONS
- --------------------------

Cash and Due from Banks
- -----------------------

Included in cash and due from banks are reserves required by the district
Federal Reserve Bank of $1,215,000 and $1,043,000 and at December 31, 1996 and
1995.  The required reserves are computed by applying prescribed ratios to the
classes of average deposit balances.  These are held in the form of cash on
hand and a balance maintained directly with the Federal Reserve Bank.

Dividends
- ---------

Under the National Bank Act, the approval of the Comptroller of the Currency
is required if dividends declared by the subsidiary bank in any one year
exceed the net profits of that year as defined, combined with net retained
profit from the two preceding years.  Using this formula, the amount available
for payment of dividends in 1997, without approval of the Comptroller, will be
limited to $3,725,775 plus net profits retained up to the date of the dividend
declaration.

14. CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS 
- ------------------------

The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital
requirements administered by the federal  regulatory  agencies. Failure to
meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory, and possibly
additional discretionary actions by the regulators that, if undertaken, could
have a direct material effect on the Company's financial statements.  Under
capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective
action, the Company and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that
involve quantitative measures of the entities' assets, liabilities, and
certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting
practices.  The Company's and the Bank's capital amounts and classification
are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components,
risk weighting, and other factors.

Quantitative measures established by the regulation to ensure capital adequacy
require the Company and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of
Total and Tier I capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted
assets (as defined) and of Tier I capital to average assets (as defined).
Management believes as of December 31, 1996 that the Company and the Bank meet
all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.

As of December 31, 1996, the most recent notification from the Federal Reserve
Board has categorized the Company as well capitalized under the regulatory
framework for prompt corrective action.  To be categorized as well
capitalized, the Company must maintain minimum Total risk-based, Tier I
risk-based, and Tier I leverage ratios at least 100 to 200 basis points above
those ratios set forth in the table.  There have been no conditions or events
since that notification that management believes have changed the Company's
category.

The following table reflects the Company's capital ratios and minimum
requirements at December 31.  The Bank's capital ratios are substantially the
same as the Company's.

15.FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURE
- ------------------------

Financial instruments are as cash, evidence of ownership interest in an
entity, or a contract which creates an obligation or right to receive or
deliver cash or another financial instrument from/to a second entity on
potentially favorable or unfavorable terms. 

Fair value is defined as the amount at which  a financial instrument could be
exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties other than in a
forced or liquidation sale.  If a quoted market price is available for a
financial instrument, the estimated fair value would be calculated based upon
the market price per trading unit of the instrument.

If no readily available market exists, the fair value estimates for financial
instruments should be based upon management's judgment regarding current
economic conditions, interest rate risk, expected cash flows, future estimated
losses, and other factors as determined through various option  pricing
formulas or simulation modeling.  As many of these assumptions result from
judgments made by management based upon estimates which are inherently
uncertain, the resulting estimated fair values may not be indicative of the
amount realizable in the sale of a particular financial instrument.  In
addition, changes in assumptions on which the estimated fair values are based
may have a significant impact on the resulting estimated fair values.

As certain assets such as deferred tax assets and premises and equipment are
not considered financial instruments, the estimated fair value of financial
instruments would not represent the full value of the Company.

The Company employed simulation modeling in determining the estimated fair
value of financial instruments for which quoted market prices were not
available based upon the following assumptions:

Cash and Due from Banks, Interest-Bearing Deposits in Other Banks, Federal
Funds Sold, Short-Term Borrowings, Accrued Interest Receivable, and Accrued
Interest Payable
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------

The fair value is equal to the current carrying value.

Investment Securities and Mortgage Loans Held for Sale
- ------------------------------------------------------

The fair value of investment securities held as investments and mortgage loans
held for sale is equal to the available quoted market price.  If no quoted
market price is available, fair value is estimated using the quoted market
price for similar securities and loans. The fair value of investment
securities available for sale is equal to the current carrying value.

Loans, Deposits, and Long-Term Debt
- -----------------------------------

The fair value of loans is estimated by discounting the future cash flows
using a simulation model which estimates future cash flows and employs
discount rates that consider reinvestment opportunities, operating expenses,
non-interest income, credit quality, and prepayment risk.  Demand, savings,
and money-market deposit accounts are valued at the amount payable on demand
as of year end.  Fair values for time deposits, and long-term debt  are
estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies contractual
costs currently being offered in the existing portfolio to current market
rates being offered for deposits and notes of similar remaining maturities.

Commitments to Extend Credit
- ----------------------------

These financial instruments are generally not subject to sale, and estimated
fair values are not readily available. The carrying value, represented by the
net deferred fee arising from the unrecognized commitment or letter of credit, 
and the fair value, determined by discounting the remaining contractual fee
over the term of the commitment using fees currently charged to enter into
similar agreements with similar credit risk, are not considered material for
disclosure.  The contractual amounts of unfunded commitments and letters of
credit are presented in Note 11.

The estimated fair value of the Company's financial instruments are as
follows:

16. BRANCH ACQUISITION
- ----------------------

On August 19, 1996, the Bank acquired certain assets and deposit liabilities
of the Harrisville, Pennsylvania office of Mellon Bank, N.A.  The transaction
was accounted for as a purchase.  The Bank assumed deposit liabilities of
$19,754,546 and acquired cash and premises and equipment totaling $382,333.

The premium paid to acquire this office amounted to $2,093,982. This amount is
shown in premises and equipment and other assets.  The identifiable portion of
the premium is being amortized over a seven year period, while the goodwill
portion acquired is being amortized over a fifteen year period.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

SNODGRASS 
Certified Public Accountants




Board of Directors and Stockholders
Slippery Rock Financial Corporation

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Slippery Rock
Financial Corporation and subsidiary as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the
related consolidated statements of income, changes in stockholders' equity,
and cash flows for the years then ended.  These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Slippery
Rock Financial Corporation and subsidiary as of December 31, 1996 and 1995,
and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then
ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

As explained in the notes to the consolidated financial statements, effective
January 1, 1995, the Company changed its method of accounting for the
impairment of loans and the related allowance for loan losses.

[FN]
(1)  Changes in interest income/expense not arising from volume or rate
variances are allocated proportionately to rate and volume.
(2)  Interest on loans includes fee income.
(3)  Yields on interest-earning assets have been computed on a
taxable-equivalent basis using the federal income tax statutory rate of 34%.
(4)  Nonaccrual loans and loans held for sale included.
(5)  Daily average balances.

Interest income and interest expense increases or decreases as the volumes of
interest sensitive assets and liabilities and interest rates fluctuate. 
Average interest-earning assets increased $21,341,000 in 1996, while
interest-bearing liabilities increased $18,728,000.

The yield on average interest-earning assets decreased in 1996 to 8.67% from a
level of 8.95% in 1995.  The decrease is due to lower market rates during the
period.  Prime rate, for example, which is the rate that banks charge to their
highest credit quality commercial customers, declined steadily throughout 1995
from a peak level of 9.00% in February 1995 to 8.25% at December 31, 1996. 
Accordingly, tax equivalent loan yields decreased in 1996 to 9.14%, a decrease
of 28 basis points from a yield of 9.42% in 1995.

Despite the general reduction in interest rates relative to their position at
December 31, 1995, the yield on average interest-bearing liabilities increased
from a level of 4.31% at December 31, 1995 to 4.36% at December 31, 1996.  The
increase in the Company's cost of funds is due to an increase in yields paid
on money market accounts.  In 1996, in an effort to maintain existing deposits
and to attract new depositors, the Company began offering a tiered money
market product.  Three separate tiers were established, each paying an
attractive market interest rate based on balances maintained in the account. 
Average volumes for the money market product also increased during the period,
increasing from a level of $15,442,000 at December 31, 1995 to a level of
$21,609,000 at December 31, 1996.  The effect of the reduction in yields on
interest-earning assets and the increase in the cost of interest-bearing
liabilities was that the net interest margin at December 31, 1996 decreased
from that of December 31, 1995.  Net interest margin at December 31, 1996 was
5.15%, as compared to 5.53% at December 31, 1995.  In addition, there is a
time lag between changes in interest rates and their effect on the Bank's cost
of funds.  If interest rates rise, it would be expected that the yield on
assets and the cost of funds would also increase, however, the effect upon the
net interest margin would be dependent upon the extent of the increase in
rates, the timing of the change and the general composition of the mix of
interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.

OTHER INCOME AND OTHER EXPENSE
- ------------------------------

Other operating income for 1996 totaled $846,000, a decrease of $56,000 or
6.2% from $902,000 at December 31, 1995.  The principal sources of other
income are service charges, fees and commissions.  The decrease in other
income for 1996 resulted primarily from decreased fees and service charges on
deposit accounts, which decreased $17,000 and to a reduction in gains and
losses recorded on the sales of loans, which decreased $56,000.  The reduction
in deposit account service charges resulted from a reduction in non-sufficient
funds ("NSF") check charges due to volume reductions.  A net loss of $21,000
at December 31, 1996 on the sale of $5,197,000 of fixed rate, residential
mortgages compared to a net gain of $35,000 on the sale of $4,432,000 at
December 31, 1995.

Total other expenses of $4,964,000 at December 31, 1996 represents an increase
of $285,000 from $4,679,000 at December 31, 1995.  The increase in other
expenses was brought about by those items that are generally thought to be
recurring in nature.  Those items would include salaries and benefits,
occupancy, and supplies expense.  In addition to the normal recurring
increases, equipment expense increased $105,000 in 1996, due to increased
depreciation expense of $63,000, of which $15,000 was attributed to the
Harrisville branch acquisition, and to an increase in equipment maintenance
expense of $42,000.  The increase in maintenance expense was due primarily to
annual hardware and software agreements purchased for the check imaging and
loan and deposit document preparation systems recorded during the fourth
quarter of 1995 and the first quarter of 1996.  One-time expenses charged to
operations for the branch purchase totaled $56,000 and was comprised of
various legal fees, check printing fees and data processing conversion fees. 
In addition, amortization of the intangible asset resulting from the
Harrisville acquisition was $65,000 at December 31, 1996.  FDIC insurance
expense was $2,000 at December 31, 1996, a reduction of $147,000 from the
$149,000 paid in 1995.  As a result of legislation enacted for the
recapitalization of the Savings Insurance Fund ("SAIF") on September 30, 1996,
the Company does expect FDIC insurance costs to increase to approximately
$20,000 in 1997.

INCOME TAXES
- ------------

Federal income taxes for 1996 of $995,000 represented a 5.8% decrease from the
$1,056,000 reported in 1995, the decline is due to an increase in tax-exempt
interest income which increased 67.5% to $909,000 in 1996.  Tax-exempt income
increased due to an increase in tax-exempt bonds which were purchased with
proceeds from the branch acquisition.  Average tax-exempt investments at
December 31, 1996 were $17,573,000 an increase of $6,261,000 from the
$11,312,000 reported at December 31, 1995.  As a result, the Company's
effective tax rate decreased to 27.1% in 1996 from 29.7% in 1995.

FINANCIAL CONDITION
- -------------------

Average total interest-earning assets increased $21.3 million in 1996,
primarily from increases in average loan balances, which increased $14 million
or 11.9% and increases in average tax-exempt investment securities of $6.2
million.  The increase in average interest earning assets was funded by an
increase in average deposits of $18.5 million or 13.8%.  Total assets at
December 31, 1996 were $195,713,000, an increase of $33.7 million or 20.8%
from the $162,011,000 reported at December 31, 1995.  Total deposits at
December 31, 1996 were $164,779,000, an increase of $24,115,000 or 17.1%. 
Exclusive of the branch acquisition, total deposits at December 31, 1996 were
$145,305,000.

On August 19, 1996, the Bank acquired certain assets and deposit liabilities
of the Harrisville, Pennsylvania office of Mellon Bank, N.A.  The transaction
was recorded as a branch purchase.  The Bank assumed deposit liabilities of
approximately $19.8 million and acquired cash and premises and equipment
totaling $382,000.  The premium paid to acquire this office amounted to
$2,094,000.  These amounts are shown in premises and equipment and other
assets.  The identifiable portion of the premium is being amortized over a
seven year period, while the goodwill portion acquired is being amortized over
a fifteen year period.  Management views the Harrisville community to be a
natural extension of the Bank's market.  Proceeds from the purchase not
initially used to fund loan growth were used to purchase tax-exempt securities
within the available for sale portfolio.  The securities purchased have short
term staggered maturities to fulfill future loan funding needs.

As part of the Bank's strategies for liquidity and managing interest rate risk
exposure in the loan portfolio, the Bank sold approximately $5 million in
fixed rate, 1-4 family mortgages in 1996.  The ratio of total net loans to
total deposits of 85.7% at December 31, 1996, compares to the 87.3% value
reported at December 31, 1995.

LIQUIDITY
- ---------

Liquidity represents the ability of the Company to meet normal cash flow
requirements of both borrowers and depositors efficiently.  Asset liquidity is
provided by repayments of and the management of maturity distributions for
loans and securities.  One measure that the Bank uses to monitor liquidity is
the liquidity ratio which assesses the relationship between certain earning
assets, customer deposits and short-term interest-bearing liabilities.  This
ratio was 3.7% of total assets as of December 31, 1996 compared to 4.8% at
December 31, 1995.  This decrease was due primarily to a reduction in daily
federal funds sold, which is a component of the liquidity ratio.  Federal
funds sold declined $600,000.

As exhibited by the Statement of Cash Flows in the Company's 1996 annual
report, cash was used to fund the Company's investing activities which totaled
$32.6 million.  Cash was used to fund net increases in loans of $18.6 million,
the purchase of available for sale securities of $16.6 million, the purchase
of investment securities of $2.2 million and the premium paid for the branch
acquisition of $2.1 million.  Financing activities totaling $30.8 million were
used to fund the investing activities.  A net increase in deposits of $24.1
million, $19.8 million of which resulted from the branch acquisition, was the
primary component of the net cash provided by financing activities.  Advances
on short-term lines of credit available through the Federal Home Loan Bank
("FHLB") totaled $22.1 million in 1996.  These advances were used primarily as
a source of funding to purchase available for sale securities in anticipation
of final closing on the branch acquisition.  FHLB advances allowed management
to take advantage of what it believed were favorable yields in the bond market
prior to final settlement of the branch acquisition and therefore was able to
lock in favorable interest rate spreads.  All of the advances pertaining to
the securities purchases were then paid off after final settlement on the
branch purchase.  Cash dividends paid in 1996 were $792,000, an increase of
$117,000 from $675,000 paid in 1995.

The Company's liquidity plan allows for the use of long-term advances or
short-term lines of credit with the FHLB as a source of funds.  Borrowing from
the FHLB not only provides a source of liquidity for the Company, but also
serves as a tool to reduce interest rate risk as well.  The Company may
structure borrowings from FHLB to match those of customer credit requests, and
therefore, lock in interest rate spreads over the lives of the loans.  At
December 31, 1996, the Company had one such matched funding loan outstanding
totaling $720,000.

The Company's short-term borrowings with FHLB are of two types, "RepoPlus"
advances and "Flexline".  "RepoPlus" advances are short-term borrowings
maturing within one year, bear a fixed rate of interest and are subject to
prepayment penalty.  At December 31, 1996, the Company's total borrowing limit
was $49,396,000 for this product.  Short-term borrowings at December 31, 1996
were $9.0 million which were comprised of RepoPlus advances used for general
liquidity purposes and were subsequently paid in January, 1997.

"Flexline" advances also mature within one year and bear a variable rate of
interest that reprices daily.  There are no repayment penalties for these
borrowings.  At December 31, 1996, the Company's borrowing limit was
$4,172,000 for Flexline advances.  The Company had no Flexline advances
outstanding at December 31, 1996, but did have $1.3 million outstanding at
December 31, 1995.

In addition to borrowing from the FHLB as a source for liquidity, the Company
also continued activity in the secondary mortgage market.  Specifically, the
Company sold fixed rate residential real estate mortgages to the Federal Home
Loan Mortgage Corporation ("Freddie Mac").  The sales to Freddie Mac not only
provided an opportunity for the Bank to remain competitive in the market
place, by allowing it to offer a fixed rate mortgage product, but also
provided an additional source of liquidity and an additional tool for
management to limit interest rate risk exposure.  Total fixed rate mortgage
sales in 1996 were $5.2 million, with net losses of $21,000.  In 1995, sales
totaled $4.4 million with net gains of $35,000.  The Bank continues to service
all loans sold to Freddie Mac.  The retaining of the servicing also provides a
source of fee income, which totaled $46,000 and $40,000 in 1996 and 1995
respectively.  Although the Company anticipates the sale of approximately $1.3
million in the first quarter of 1997, there were no unfunded commitments to
sell at December 31, 1996.

In June 1996, the FASB issued SFAS No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers and
Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities."  This
statement requires that, after a transfer of financial assets, an entity
recognizes the financial and servicing assets it controls and the liabilities
it has incurred, derecognizes financial assets when control has been
surrendered, and derecognizes liabilities when extinguished.  This statement
provides consistent standards of distinguishing transfers of financial assets
that are sales from transfers that are secured borrowings.  This statement is
effective for transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishment
of liabilities occurring after December 31, 1996, and is to be applied
prospectively.  Earlier or retroactive application is not permitted. 
Management does not anticipate that implementation of this statement will have
a material effect on its consolidated financial condition or results of
operations.

The following table is a schedule of the maturity distributions and weighted
average yield of investment securities as of December 31, 1996:

(1) Weighted average yields were computed on a tax equivalent basis using the
federal income tax statutory rate and were determined on the basis of cost,
adjusted for amortization of premium or accretion of discount.

(2) Mortgage-backed securities provide for periodic principal repayments.  It
is anticipated that these securities will be repaid prior to their contractual
maturity dates.

Investments maturing within one year and other short-term investments such as
interest-bearing deposits with other banks and federal funds sold were 2.2% of
total assets at December 31, 1996, a decrease from 3.1% in 1995. The reduction
is due primarily to a reduction in federal funds sold and to the total asset
growth as a result of the branch acquisition.


INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY
- -------------------------

One of the principal functions of the Company's asset/liability management
program is to monitor the level to which the balance sheet is subject to
interest rate risk.  The goal of the asset/liability program is to manage the
relationship between interest rate sensitive assets and liabilities, thereby
minimizing the fluctuations in the net interest margin, which achieves
consistent growth of net interest income during periods of changing interest
rates.

Interest rate sensitivity is the result of differences in the amounts and
repricing dates of a bank's rate sensitive assets and rate sensitive
liabilities. These differences, or interest rate repricing "gaps", provide an
indication of the extent that the Company's net interest income is effected by
future changes in interest rates.  During a period of rising interest rates, a
positive gap, a position of more rate sensitive assets than rate sensitive
liabilities, is desired. During a falling interest rate environment, a
negative gap is desired, that is, a position in which rate sensitive
liabilities exceed rate sensitive assets.  However, not all assets and
liabilities with similar maturities and repricing opportunities will reprice
at the same time or to the same degree.  As a result, the Company's gap
position does not necessarily predict the impact on interest income given a
change in interest rate levels.

The following table shows the Company's gap position for December 31, 1996,
based upon contractual repricing opportunities or maturities, with variable
rate products measured to the date of the next repricing opportunity as
opposed to contractual maturities, while fixed rate products are measured to
contractual maturity without any consideration for prepayments:

At December 31, 1996, the Company had a cumulative negative gap of $41,656,000
at the one year horizon.  This value compares to a negative gap of $19,654,000
at December 31, 1995.  The change is due to the increase in deposits from the
Harrisville branch acquisition and the short term advances from the FHLB, both
of which increased the Company's rate sensitive liabilities in the 0-90 day
time frame.

CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -----------------

Capital adequacy is the ability of the Company to support growth while
protecting the interests of shareholders and depositors. Total capital
consists of common stock, surplus, retained earnings and net unrealized gains
/ losses on securities.  Equity capital increased $1,983,000 or 10.8% in 1996. 
This increase is attributed, primarily, to retained net income.  Historically,
the Company has generated net retained profits sufficient to support normal
growth and expansion.

Bank regulatory agencies have designated certain capital ratio requirements
which they use to assist in monitoring the safety and soundness of financial
institutions.

Effective January 27, 1995,  regulators issued a final rule with respect to
the implementation of Financial Accounting Statement No. 115, "Accounting for
Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities", for regulatory capital
reporting purposes.  Under this final rule, net unrealized holding losses on
available for sale equity securities (but not debt securities) with readily
determinable fair values will be included when calculating the Company's Tier
1 capital.  All other unrealized holding gains and losses on available for
sale securities will be excluded from the Company's Tier 1 capital.  Based
upon the composition of the Company's investment portfolio, such final rule
will have no material effect on the Company's Tier 1 capital.

For 1996, management has calculated and monitored risk-based and leverage
capital ratios in order to assess compliance with regulatory guidelines.  The
following schedule presents certain regulatory capital ratio requirements
along with the Company's position at December 31, 1996:

         Tier 1 risk - based capital    $  18,127         13.63%         4.00%

         Total risk - based capital        19,304         14.52          8.00

         Leverage capital                  18,127          9.55          3.00

</TABLE>

As the above table illustrates, all regulatory capital requirements have been
complied with at December 31, 1996. In addition, management does not
anticipate any future activity that would have a negative impact on any of
these ratios.

INFLATION AND CHANGING PRICES
- ------------------------------

Management is aware of the impact inflation has on interest rates and the
resulting impact it can have on the Company's performance.  The ability of a
financial institution to cope with inflation can only be determined by the
analysis and monitoring of its asset and liability structure.  The Company 


                                    24

INFLATION AND CHANGING PRICES (Continued)
- -----------------------------------------

does monitor its asset and liability position, with particular emphasis on the
mix of interest rate sensitive assets and liabilities, in order to reduce the
effect of inflation upon its performance.  However, it must be remembered that
the asset and liability structure of a financial institution is substantially
different from that of an industrial corporation, in that virtually all assets
and liabilities are monetary in nature, meaning that they have been or will be
converted into a fixed number of dollars regardless of changes in prices. 
Examples of monetary items include cash, loans and deposits.  Nonmonetary
items are those assets and liabilities which do not gain or lose purchasing
power solely as a result of general price level changes.  Examples of
nonmonetary items are premises and equipment.

Inflation can have a more direct impact on the categories of other operating
income and other operating expense, such as salaries, employee benefit costs
and supplies.  These expenses are closely monitored by management for both the
effects of inflation and increases relating to such items as staffing levels,
usage of supplies and occupancy costs.

Generally, loans with maturities of 1 year or less consist of funds drawn on
commercial lines of credit, short-term notes, and demand notes written without
alternative maturity schedules.  All lines of credit and demand loans are
subject to an annual review where the account may be approved for up to one
year.  Real estate construction loans have a six month maturity, after which
the loans are generally transferred to the real estate mortgage portfolio and
amortized over their contractual lives.

Other real estate owned of $221,000, at December 31, 1996 is comprised
primarily of three properties, two of which resulted from foreclosure
activities during December 1996.  Management believes that each of the parcels
will sell within a reasonable time period and that the sales will not pose any
significant risk to the operations, liquidity or capital position of the
Company.

A loan is considered impaired when, based upon current information and events,
it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all principal and
interest amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. 
At December 31, 1996, the Company had impaired loans of $739,000, of which
$142,000 was in nonaccrual status.  Impaired loans at December 31, 1995 were
$999,000.  The average investment in impaired loans was $825,000 and $987,000
for the periods ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  Impaired
loans had a general loan loss reserve allocation of $111,000 at December 31,
1996 and $150,000 at December 31, 1995.

Of the total impaired loans, $596,000 were restructured loans which consisted
of loans to a single borrower.  Upon completion of the sale of a significant
portion of its business operations in 1996, the Bank restructured the
borrower's accounts to allow for the repayment of the debt from the remaining
business operations.  The restructured loans at December 31, 1996 were
classified as nonaccrual at December 31, 1995.  There were no additions to the
impaired loan classifications during 1996.  Although the composition of
nonaccrual loans that did not meet the definition of impaired at December 31,
1996 varied from those at December 31, 1995, the aggregate dollars in the
nonaccrual classification were not significantly different.  Non-performing
loans as a percentage of total loans at December 31, 1996 were 1.11% compared
to 1.0% at December 31, 1995.  Management does not consider any of the
non-performing loans to pose any significant risk to the capital position of
future earnings of the Company.

Commercial, financial and agricultural loans are classified as nonaccrual when
the loans become 90 days or more past due, and all other loans 120 days or
more past due.  In addition, a loan may also be classified as nonaccrual if,
in the opinion of management, doubts as to the collectibility of the account
arise prior to reaching certain past due parameters.  At the time the account
is placed on nonaccrual status, all previously accrued interest is charged
against current earnings.  At the time the accrual of interest is
discontinued, future income is recognized only when cash is received.

Management is not aware of any trends or uncertainties  related to any loans
classified as doubtful or substandard which might have a material effect on
future earnings, liquidity or capital resources.  In addition, management is
not aware of any information pertaining to material credits which would cause
it to doubt the ability of such borrowers to comply with the loan repayment
terms.

The risk of loan losses is one of the inherent risks associated with lending. 
Management recognizes and experience indicates, that at any point in time,
possible losses may exist in the loan portfolio.  Therefore, based upon
management's best estimate, each year provisions are charged against earnings
to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level sufficient to recognize
this potential risk.  For 1996, management provided $200,000 to the allowance
for loan losses.

In determining the level at which the allowance for loan losses should be
maintained, management relies on in-house quarterly reviews of significant
loans and commitments outstanding, including a continuing review of problem or
non-performing loans and overall portfolio quality.  Based upon this
evaluation, allocations of the current allowance are made, with accounts not
subject to specific review having  fixed factors applied.  The unallocated
portion of the allowance is then assessed to determine if it is deemed
sufficient to absorb any unidentified losses.  A quarterly report is presented
to and approved by the Board of Directors.

To further monitor and assess the risk characteristics of the loan portfolio,
loan delinquencies are reviewed to consider any developing problem loans. 
Based upon the procedures in place, considering past charge-offs and
recoveries and assessing the current risk elements in the portfolio,
management believes the allowance for loan losses at December 31, 1996 is
adequate.  Management believes the allowance can be allocated to commercial,
real estate and consumer categories as follows:

Market for Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters
- --------------------------------------------------------

Prior to fourth quarter 1995, the Company's common stock was traded locally. 
There was no established public trading market for Slippery Rock Financial
Corporation's common stock at that time.  During the fourth quarter of 1995,
the Company began trading its stock in the local over-the-counter market
through the National Association of Securities Dealers OTC "Bulletin Board"
system, which is its automated system for reporting non-NASDAQ quotes and the
National Quotation Bureau's "Pink Sheets".  Price quotations reflect
inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-up, mark-down or commission and may
not represent actual transactions.  The Company uses the following firms in
establishing a market for its stock:

  Legg Mason Wood Walker - Pittsburgh, PA
  F. J. Morrissey & Co. - Philadelphia, PA
  Monroe Securities, Inc. - Rochester, NY
  Ryan Beck & Co. - West Orange, NJ

The following table summarizes the high and low prices and dividend
information since January 1, 1995, price quotes and cash dividend payments
have been restated for the four for one stock split on June 28, 1996.  Prices
are based on information made available to the Company.  The Company paid cash
dividends semi-annually in 1996 and 1995 and will begin paying quarterly
dividends in 1997.

</TABLE>

The Company paid cash dividends of $0.575 per share in 1996, adjusted for the
four for one split on June 28, 1996.  It is the present intention of the
Company's Board of Directors to continue the dividend payment policy; however,
future dividends must depend upon earnings, financial condition and any other
factors relevant at the time the Board of Directors consider such dividends. 
Cash available for dividend distributions to shareholders of the Company must
initially come from dividends paid by the Bank to the Company.  Therefore, any
restrictions on the Bank's dividend payments are directly applicable to the
Company.

As of December 31, 1996, the Company had approximately 532 shareholders of
record.
