SOUTHWEST NATIONAL CORPORATION
AND SUBSIDIARY


                           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

    Significant accounting policies have not changed since the last
reporting period, except for the accounting for impairment of long-lived
assets, which is discussed in Note 3 below.

    BASIS OF PRESENTATION

    The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of
Southwest National Corporation (the Corporation) include the accounts of
the Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Southwest National Bank
of Pennsylvania (the Bank).  All significant intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. 
Certain items previously reported have been reclassified to conform with
the current year's classifications.  In the opinion of management, all
normal recurring adjustments necessary for fair presentation of the
financial position and results of operations for the periods have been
included.  


2.  INVESTMENT SECURITIES

    Investment securities are classified as follows:  debt securities that
the Corporation has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are
classified as securities held to maturity and reported at amortized cost;
debt and equity securities bought and held principally for the purpose of
selling them in the near term are classified as trading securities and
reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses included in the
current period earnings; or debt and equity securities not classified as
either securities held to maturity or trading securities are classified as
securities available for sale and reported at fair value, with unrealized
gains and losses reported as a separate component of shareholders' equity. 
An $8,000, net of tax, unrealized gain on securities classified as
available for sale at March 31, 1996, was recorded as a separate component
of shareholders' equity.


3.  ADOPTION OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

    On January 1, 1996, the Corporation adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (FAS) No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-
Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of."  Adoption of
this standard did not have a material affect on the Corporation's financial
position or results of operations.

                                     (continued)

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations.

FIRST QUARTER 1996 COMPARED TO FIRST QUARTER 1995

    Net income for the first quarter of 1996 was $2,223,000, an increase
of $306,000 or 16.0% compared to the same quarter last year.  Per share
earnings increased to $.70 in 1996 from $.60 in 1995, a 16.7% rise.  Return
on assets amounted to 1.25% up from the 1.13% reported in 1995.

    The growth in earnings was primarily the result of higher noninterest
income up $256,000 (23.3%) -- $199,000 related to the gain recognized on
the sale of available for sale securities -- and reduced noninterest
expense down $140,000  (2.5%) as net interest income remained flat from
year to year.  Excluding the security transaction, earnings would have
risen $175,000 (9.1%).

    Net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis increased
slightly to $7,935,000 from $7,916,000.  Excluding the taxable equivalent
adjustment, net interest income also increased slightly to $7,706,000 from
$7,695,000.  The net interest margin fell 18 basis points to 4.71% for the
quarter compared to the 4.89% registered in the same quarter last year. 
The decrease in the margin resulted from two factors:  a declining yield
on earning assets due to the lower rate environment and the continued shift
in deposit composition to higher cost funds, principally certificates of
deposit.  Average earning assets rose to $675,535,000 for the period up
$31,461,000 (4.9%) compared to 1995 which offset the decline in the net
interest margin.

    Noninterest income advanced $256,000 (23.3%) amounting to $1,357,000
for the quarter.  This rise was primarily due to the gain of $199,000
recorded on the sale of available for sale investment securities.  Trust
income rose $32,000 (9.0%) as the result of increased fees recognized in
the personal trust sector.  Service charges on deposit accounts rose
$29,000 (5.7%) due to increases in fees charged for certain services. 
Other income rose period to period $200,000 as a result of the previously
mentioned security gains.

    Noninterest expense decreased $140,000 (2.5%) amounting to $5,464,000
for the quarter.  Salaries and employee benefits rose $86,000 (3.2%) as a
result of normal merit increases for existing staff partially offset by a
lower full-time equivalent level of employees.  Net occupancy expense also
rose $86,000 (19.6%) as a result of increases in most categories primarily
due to the severe winter weather of 1996.  The FDIC Insurance expense
dropped $324,000 because of the significant premium reductions compared to
last year.  Excluding the deposit insurance premiums, noninterest expense
would have risen $184,000 (3.5%) period to period.

    At March 31, 1996 assets totalled $719,016,000 up $28,436,000 (4.1%)
compared to $690,580,000 at March 31, 1995.  During the same period loans
rose $36,706,000 (8.9%) and investment securities rose $22,035,000 (11.3%). 
Deposits also improved totalling $630,209,000 at March 31, 1996 up
$17,224,000 (2.8%) from the prior year which helped to fund earning asset
growth.

    Shareholders' equity at March 31, 1996 totalled $77,380,000 up
$7,204,000 (10.3%) over March 31, 1995.  Shareholders' equity includes an
unrealized gain on securities net of tax of $8,000 and an unrealized loss
net of tax of $1,542,000 at March 31, 1996 and March 31, 1995,
respectively.  Total capital as a percentage of risk-weighted assets was
18.90% at March 31, 1996 compared to 19.10% at March 31, 1995.  The
Corporation's leverage capital ratio rose to 10.85% at March 31, 1996.

    Nonperforming assets and loans past due rose from period end to period
end.  All asset quality ratios declined period to period as the trend of
delinquencies has been rising, primarily in the consumer sector.  However,
Southwest's ratios still compare favorably to our peer group.  Generally,
this trend has been an industry-wide issue.

    On January 1, 1996 the Corporation adopted FAS No. 121.  This statement
establishes guidelines for recognition of impairment losses related to
long-lived assets and certain intangibles and related  goodwill for assets
to be held and used, as well as assets held for disposition.  This
statement excludes financial instruments, long-term customer relationships
of financial institutions and other servicing rights and deferred tax
assets.  Adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the
Corporation's financial position or results of operations.

FIRST QUARTER 1996 COMPARED TO FOURTH QUARTER 1995 - BALANCE SHEET

    Assets and deposits funding those assets were relatively flat period
to period growing by approximately 1.0%.  Shareholders' equity also
remained flat period to period.

    Asset quality ratios declined from December 31, 1995 to March 31, 1996
as delinquencies continued to trend upwards.  Total capital as a percentage
of risk-weighted assets declined slightly to 18.90% at March 31, 1996 from
19.10% at December 31, 1995 as the leverage capital ratio remained
basically unchanged period to period.
