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 reporting of comprehensive income which
     is discussed in Note 3.

     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
     other comprehensive income.  A $434,000, net of tax, unrealized gain on
     securities classified as available for sale at March 31, 1998, was
     recorded as a separate component of other comprehensive income.


3.   ADOPTION OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

       On January 1, 1998, the Corporation adopted Statement of Accounting
     Standards (FAS) No. 130 "Reporting Comprehensive Income."  FAS No. 130
     requires reporting of comprehensive income by its components and in total
     in the financial statements.  Comprehensive income is defined as the
     change in equity of a business enterprise during a period from
     transactions and other events and circumstances from nonowner sources.  It
     includes all changes in equity during a period except those resulting from
     investments by owners and distributions to owners.  The adoption of this
     statement did not have a material effect on the Corporation's financial
     position or results of operations.

                  Part I.  FINANCIAL INFORMATION
                           (continued)

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

FIRST QUARTER 1998 COMPARED TO FIRST QUARTER 1997

     Net income for the first quarter of 1998 declined 7.5% to $2,164,000 from
the $2,340,000 achieved in the same period last year.  Basic earnings per share
fell to $0.71 in 1998 from $0.75 in 1997, a 5.3% decrease.  Return on assets
dipped to 1.17% for the first quarter of 1998 compared to 1.25% reported in 
1997. Return on equity settled at 10.46% for the period down from the 11.66% 
achieved for the first quarter of 1997.

     The decline in earnings was principally the result of increased noninterest
expense coupled with a higher provision for loan losses.  Improved noninterest
income (up 17.1% period to period) partially offset these items.

     Net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis amounted  to
$8,401,000 for the first quarter of 1998, basically unchanged from 1997. 
Excluding the taxable equivalent adjustment, net interest income rose slightly
to $8,203,000 in 1998 from $8,186,000 in 1997.  Average earning assets declined
to $705,723,000 for the period, a decline of less than one percent compared to
1997.  The net interest margin improved to 4.77% in 1998 compared to 4.72% for
the prior period.  This rise in the margin helped to offset the decline in 
earning assets for the comparable periods.

     The provision for loan losses rose to $675,000 for the first quarter of
1998, up $225,000 (50.0%) over the $450,000 recorded for the first quarter of
1997.  This rise is primarily the result of higher consumer loan charge-offs in
the indirect automobile portfolio.  This trend resulted in Southwest's 
decision to scale back activity in this product line as of year-end 1997.

     Noninterest income climbed $220,000 (17.1%) amounting to $1,503,000 for the
quarter.  Service charges on deposit accounts rose $213,000 (36.7%) period to
period.  This rise is the direct result of adjustments made to the fee structure
based on a comprehensive review conducted by management in 1997.  Trust income
rose, climbing $90,000 (23.3%) compared to the prior period.  Other income
declined $70,000 period to period as 1997 included receipt of income on a 
grantor trust for which the Bank is a beneficiary. 
     
     Noninterest expense increased $344,000 (6.1%) reaching $6,025,000 compared
to the first quarter of 1997.  Salaries and employee benefits rose only $43,000
(1.5%) as normal merit increases were offset by a lower level of full time
equivalent employees compared to the year ago period.  Equipment expenses and
data processing fees rose $68,000 (8.4%).  Increased data processing charges for
new products (i.e. telephone banking, debit cards) impacted the current period. 
Other  expenses increased to $1,585,000 for the first quarter of 1998, up
$243,000 (18.1%).  Increases in several categories contributed to this rise and
included: professional fees up $154,000 (related to costs associated with the
Bank's ongoing organizational improvement and strategic development 
initiatives); marketing up $21,000; subscriptions and services up $26,000 and
other expenses up $42,000.

     At March 31, 1998, assets totaled $742,106,000, down slightly (0.4%)
compared to March 31, 1997.  During the same period, loans rose $3,506,000 
(0.7%) while investment securities declined $26,646,000 (13.1%).   Deposits 
slipped, totaling $644,106,000 at March 31, 1998, down $7,603,000 (1.2%) from 
the prior year as consumers continue to direct money into alternative 
investments.

     Shareholders' equity at March 31, 1998 reached $83,386,000 up $3,641,000
(4.6%) over March 31, 1997.  The other comprehensive income component of 
shareholders' equity includes an unrealized gain on securities net of tax of 
$434,000 and an unrealized loss net of tax of $916,000 at March 31, 1998 and 
March 31, 1997 respectively.  Total capital as a percentage of risk-weighted 
assets was 18.17% at March 31, 1998 compared to 17.67% at March 31, 1997.  
The Corporation's leverage capital ratio also rose amounting to 11.17%
at March 31, 1997.

<PAGE> 6

     Nonperforming assets rose to $3,414,000 at March 31, 1998 from $2,503,000
at March 31, 1997 primarily due to a higher level of nonaccrual loans, up
$885,000 in the current period.  Loans past due 90 days or more also rose 
totaling $1,923,000 compared to $1,429,000 for the prior period.  The ratio of 
nonperforming loans to loans was 0.63% at March 31, 1998 up from 0.46% at 
March 31, 1997.  The rise in net charge-offs to $747,000 from $623,000 is the 
result of increased consumer loan charge-offs in the indirect automobile 
portfolio.  The credit quality and performance of the remainder of the loan 
portfolio continues to be satisfactory and reserves remain adequate.  The 
reserve for loan losses to nonperforming loans was 193.83% at period end, down 
from 253.96% at March 31, 1997.

FIRST QUARTER 1998 COMPARED TO FOURTH QUARTER 1997 - BALANCE SHEET

     Total assets rose slightly by $2,864,000 (0.4%) period to period.  Loans
declined by $16,711,000 (3.2%) as investment securities grew by $17,745,000
