               NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.    Basis of Presentation

            East Penn Financial Corporation (the "Company") was incorporated on
      January 27, 2003 for the purpose of forming a bank holding company. On
      July 1, 2003, the Company completed the reorganization and merger with
      East Penn Bank (the "Bank") and its wholly owned subsidiary, East Penn
      Mortgage Company, into the holding company form of ownership. In the
      reorganization, the Bank became a wholly owned banking subsidiary of the
      Company. On July 31, 2003, the Company formed East Penn Statutory Trust I
      (the "Trust"), a Connecticut statutory business trust, for the purpose of
      issuing $8 million in capital pass-through securities to investors.

            The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
      Company, and its wholly owned subsidiary, the Bank. All significant
      intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

            The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have
      been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
      in the United States of America for interim financial information.
      Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes
      required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
      financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
      considered necessary for fair presentation have been included.

            Operating results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2004,
      are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the
      year ended December 31, 2004. For further information, refer to the
      financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's
      Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003.

2.    Investment in Bank

      On September 23, 2003, the Company purchased 141,300 shares of the common
      shares outstanding of a newly formed de novo bank, named Berkshire Bank,
      located in Wyomissing, Pennsylvania. The amount of the investment was
      $1,413,000, at September 30, 2003. On October 22, 2003, the Company
      purchased an additional 12,123 shares, for $121,230, of Berkshire Bank for
      a total investment of $1,534,230. The investment is included in other
      assets and is accounted for under the cost method of accounting.

5.    Stock Option Plan

            The Company has adopted the disclosure-only provisions of Statement
      of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, "Accounting for
      Stock-Based Compensation". No stock options were issued or vested in the
      three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003. Therefore, no compensation
      costs could have been recognized for options granted in 2004 and 2003.

6.    Guarantees

            The Company does not issue any guarantees that would require
      liability recognition or disclosure, other than its standby letters of
      credit. Standby letters of credit written are conditional commitments
      issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a
      third party. Generally, all letters of credit, when issued, have
      expiration dates within one year. The credit risk involved in issuing
      letters of credit is essentially the same as those that are involved in
      extending loan facilities to customers. The Company, generally, holds
      collateral and/or personal guarantees supporting these commitments. The
      Company had $626,000 of standby letters of credit as of March 31, 2004.
      Management believes that the proceeds obtained through liquidation of
      collateral and the enforcement of guarantees would be sufficient to cover
      the potential amount of future payments required under the corresponding
      guarantees. The current amount of the liability as of March 31, 2004 for
      guarantees under standby letters of credit is not material.

7.    New Accounting Standards

            In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
      FASB Interpretation No. 46 ("FIN46"), "Consolidation of Variable Interest
      Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51", which was revised in December
      2003. This Interpretation provides guidance for the consolidation of
      variable interest entities (VIEs). The Trust qualifies as a variable
      interest entity under FIN 46. The Trust issued mandatory redeemable
      preferred securities, "Trust Preferred Securities", to third party
      investors and loaned the proceeds to the Company. The Trust holds, as its
      sole asset, subordinated debentures issued by the Company.

            FIN 46 required the Company to deconsolidate the Trust from the
      consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2004. There has been no
      restatement of prior periods. The impact of this deconsolidation was to
      increase junior subordinated debentures or long-term debt by $8,248,000
      and reduce the mandatory redeemable capital debenture line item by
      $8,000,000, which had represented the Trust Preferred Securities of the
      Trust. The Company's equity interest in the Trust subsidiary of $248,000,
      which had previously been eliminated in the consolidation, is now reported
      in "other assets" as of March 31, 2004. For regulatory reporting purposes,
      the Federal Reserve Board has indicated that the preferred securities will
      continue to qualify as Tier I Capital subject to previously specified
      limitations, until further notice. If regulators make a determination that
      Trust Preferred Securities can no longer be considered in regulatory
      capital, the


                                     Page 8
<PAGE>

      securities become callable and the Company may redeem them. The adoption
      of FIN 46 did not have an impact on the Company's results of operations or
      liquidity.

ITEM 2

           MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                            AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                                 March 31, 2004

      The following is management's discussion and analysis of the significant
changes in the consolidated results of operations, capital resources and
liquidity presented in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial
statements for the Company. This discussion should be read in conjunction with
the preceding consolidated financial statements and related footnotes, as well
as, the Company's December 31, 2003 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Current
performance does not guarantee and may not be indicative of similar performance
in the future.

      In addition to historical information, this quarterly report on Form 10-Q
contains forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements contained in
this report are subject to certain risks, assumptions and uncertainties. Because
of the possibility of change in the underlying assumptions, actual results could
differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements.
Additional factors that might cause actual results to differ materially from
those expressed in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited
to:

      -     operating, legal and regulatory risks,

      -     economic, political and competitive forces affecting the Company's
            services, and

      -     the risk that management's analyses of these risks could be
            incorrect and/or that the strategies developed to address them could
            be unsuccessful.

      The Company's forward-looking statements are relevant only as of the date
on which the statements are made. By making forward-looking statements, the
Company assumes no duty to update them to reflect new, changing or unanticipated
events or circumstances. Readers should carefully review the risk factors
described in other periodic reports and public documents that the Company files
from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

      Disclosure of the Company's significant accounting policies is included in
Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements of the Company's Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003. Some of these policies are
particularly sensitive requiring significant judgments, estimates and
assumptions to be made by management. Additional information is contained on
pages 11and 13 of this report for the provision and allowance for loan losses.

OVERVIEW

      Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003 was $751,000
and $588,000. The increase of $163,000, or 27.7%, is due in part to an increase
of 16.3% in net interest income and a 12.9% increase in the Company's other
income, primarily due to an increase in customer service fees, fees from
mortgage banking activities and a $17,000 gain on sale on securities. On a basic
and diluted per share basis, net income for the three months ended March 31,
2004 was $0.12, respectively, as compared with $0.09 for the three months ended
March 31, 2003. Net income as a percentage of average assets on an annualized
basis, also known as return on average assets, increased to 0.89% for the first
three months of 2004 from 0.86% for the first three months of 2003 as a result
of increased net income which offset the 23.9% increase in total average assets.
Net income as a percentage of total average stockholders' equity on an
annualized basis, also known as return on average equity, was 15.6% and 11.8%
for the first three months of 2004 and 2003.

      During the first three months of 2004, the Company's assets grew
$4,425,000, or 1.4%, to $343,394,000 as of March 31, 2004 from $337,939,000 as
of December 31, 2003. This increase is


                                    Page 10
<PAGE>

primarily attributable to increased cash and cash equivalents, which increased
$6,029,000. This increased liquidity resulted from the proceeds of investment
security sales and prepayments, which caused the investment portfolio to decline
by $4,389,000. Gross loans increased to $207,503,000, or 0.2% during the first
three months of 2004 as compared with $207,016,000 as of December 31, 2003.
Total deposits increased by $3,532,000, or 1.3%, during the first three months
of 2004 to $283,430,000 as of March 31, 2004 from $279,898,000 as of December
31, 2003. This compares to an increase of $12,844,000, or 5.3%, to $283,202,000
at March 31, 2003.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Interest Income

      For the three months ended March 31, 2004, total interest income increased
by $499,000, or 14%, to $4,070,000, compared with $3,571,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 2003. This increase is the result of a 24.2% increase in
average interest-earning assets, which grew $61,397,000, to $315,539,000 for the
first three months of 2004, compared with $254,142,000 for the first three
months of 2003. The growth in average interest-earning assets was due to
increases in investment securities and loans, which were funded primarily from
the growth in deposits and long-term debt. While the yield on average
interest-earning assets decreased to 5.19% for the three months ended March 31,
2004 from 5.70% for the same period in 2003 as a result of declining interest
rates, the overall growth in average interest-earning assets helped to minimize
the impact of declining interest rates.

      Total interest expense increased by $110,000, or 9.3%, to $1,292,000 for
the three months ended March 31, 2004, from $1,182,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 2003. This increase is attributable to an increase of
$59,509,000, or 26.9%, in average interest bearing liabilities to $281,025,000
for the first quarter of 2004 from $221,516,000 for the first quarter of 2003.
Growth in deposits and long-term debt contributed to the increase in average
interest bearing liabilities. While cost of funds decreased to 1.85% for the
first three months of 2004 as compared with 2.16% for the same period in 2003,
the decline was somewhat limited by the added interest expense incurred as a
result of the issuance of $8.2 million in junior subordinated debentures, which
carry an annual cost of 6.8%.

      Net interest income increased by $389,000, or 16.3%, to $2,778,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 2004 from $2,389,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 2003. This increase was primarily attributable to the growth in the
volume of interest sensitive assets and liabilities, as oppose to the net
interest rate spread, which decreased to 3.34% for the first three months of
2004 from 3.54% for the first three months in 2003. The net interest margin
decreased to 3.54% from 3.81% for the three-month periods ending March 31, 2004
and 2003. Although interest rates remained at their historic lows in 2004, the
Company continued to minimize the deterioration of its net interest rate spread
and net interest margin, considering the growth of its interest sensitive assets
and liabilities.

Provision for Loan Losses

      For the three months ended March 31, 2004, the provision for loan losses
was $154,000, an increase of $40,000, or 35.1%, compared with $114,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 2003. The increase in the provision was the result
of an increase in loans accorded non-accrual status during the first quarter and
growth in commercial loan transactions which were not funded until early April
2004.

      The allowance for loans losses represented 1.22% of total loans at March
31, 2004, compared with 1.16% as of December 31, 2003 and 1.27% as of March 31,
2003. Management performs ongoing assessments of the loan loss reserve in
relation to loan portfolio growth, credit exposure to individual borrowers,
overall trends in the loan portfolio and other relevant factors, and believes
the reserve is reasonable and adequate for the periods presented.

Other Income

      Other income for the first quarter ended March 31, 2004 increased $58,000,
or 12.9%, to $509,000


                                    Page 11
<PAGE>

from $451,000 for the first quarter ended March 31, 2003. This increase is due
to a $10,000 increase in mortgage banking fees associated with the increased
volume in mortgages originated by the bank and sold in the secondary market, an
$8,000 increase in customer service fees, a $17,000 gain on the sale of
securities, an increase of $10,000 in income from investment in life insurance.
and an increase of $13,000 in other income.

Other Expenses

      For the three months ended March 31, 2004, other expenses increased
$204,000, or 10.5%, to $2,154,000 from $1,950,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 2003. The impact of the increase was minimized as a result of
management's ongoing efforts to control non-interest expenses as the company
continues to grow.

      Salary expenses and related employee benefits were $1,186,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 2004, an increase of $96,000, or 8.8%, compared
with $1,090,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2003. The increase is
attributable to staff additions and normal salary increases.

      Occupancy expenses for the first three months of 2004 increased to
$177,000 from $167,000 for the first three months of 2003. The increase of
$10,000, or 6%, was not only attributable to increases in normal occupancy costs
but also to the snow removal costs incurred during the early part of 2004 as a
result of weather factors.

      Equipment expenses increased $11,000, or 6.7%, to $174,000 for the first
three months of 2004 from $163,000 for the first three months of 2003. The
increase in this expense category was due to the added depreciation expense from
the additions made to furniture and equipment.

      Other operating expenses increased $87,000, or 16.4%, to $617,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 2004 from $530,000 for the three months ended March
31, 2003. This increase was the result of the Company's growth as well as the
additional expenses associated with the implementation of a call center and
internet banking and the formation of the holding company and the issuance of
junior subordinated debentures.

Income Taxes

      For the three months ended March 31, 2004, the tax provision was $228,000
compared with $188,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2003. This increase
of $40,000, or 21.3%, is the result of achieving a higher level of pre-tax net
income with a level amount of tax-exempt income.

Net Income

      Net income for the first three months of 2004 was $751,000, an increase of
$163,000, or 27.7%, compared with $588,000 for the first three months of 2003.
This increase in net income was the result of increases of $389,000 in net
interest income and $58,000 in other income, which offset the increases of
$40,000 in the provision for loan losses, $204,000 in other operating expenses
and $40,000 in federal income tax expense. The increase in net income was
attributable to declining rates, where the cost of funds associated with
interest sensitive liabilities decreased more than the decline in yield derived
from interest sensitive assets, along with an increase in other income,
primarily derived from increased customer service fees, mortgage banking
activities and gains on sale of investment securities. Basic and diluted
earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2004 was $0.12 compared
with $0.09 for the three months ended March 31, 2003.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Securities

      The Company's securities portfolio is comprised of securities, which not
only provide interest


                                    Page 12
<PAGE>

income, including tax-exempt income, but also provide a source of liquidity,
diversify the earning assets portfolio, allow for the management of risk and tax
liability, and provide collateral for repurchase agreements and public fund
deposits. Policies are in place to address various aspects of managing the
portfolio, including but not limited to, concentrations, liquidity, credit
quality, interest rate sensitivity and regulatory guidelines. Adherence to these
policies is monitored by the Company's Asset/Liability Committee on a monthly
basis.

      Although the Company generally intends to hold its investment securities
to maturity, a significant portion of the securities portfolio is classified as
available for sale, with new purchases generally categorized as available for
sale. Securities in the available for sale category are accounted for at fair
value with unrealized appreciation or depreciation, net of tax, reported as a
separate component of stockholders' equity. Securities in the held to maturity
category are accounted for at amortized cost. The Company invests in securities
for the yield they produce and not to profit from trading. The Company holds no
trading securities in its portfolio.

      The securities portfolio at March 31, 2004 was $102,892,000, compared to
$107,281,000 at December 31, 2003, a decrease of $4,389,000, or 4.1%. The
decline was attributable to the sale of investment securities and prepayments of
principal. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of securities, in the amount
of $1,500,000, were used to purchase additional bank owned life insurance
("BOLI"), which yields tax-exempt income for the Bank. Securities available for
sale decreased to $101,841,000 at March 31, 2004 from $106,230,000 at December
31, 2003, while securities held to maturity were $1,051,000 at March 31, 2004
and December 31, 2003.

      The carrying value of the available for sale portion of the portfolio at
March 31, 2004 includes an unrealized gain of $1,789,000 (reflected as
accumulated other comprehensive income of $1,181,000 in stockholders' equity,
net of deferred income tax liability of $608,000). This compares with an
unrealized gain at December 31, 2003 of $606,000 (reflected as accumulated other
comprehensive income of $400,000 in stockholders' equity, net of deferred income
tax liability of $206,000).

Loans

      The loan portfolio comprises the major component of the Company's earning
assets. Gross loans receivable, net of unearned fees and origination costs,
increased $487,000, or 0.2%, to $207,503,000 at March 31, 2004 from $207,016,000
at December 31, 2003. Loan growth appears to be limited as a result of
prepayments as well as the timing associated with the settlement and funding of
certain new loans. As a result of these issues, gross loans increased by almost
$9 million within the first two weeks after March 31, 2004. Gross loans
represented 73.2% of total deposits at March 31, 2004 as compared to 74% at
December 31, 2003.

Credit Risk and Loan Quality

      The Company continues to be prudent in its efforts to minimize credit
risk. The Bank's written lending policy requires underwriting, loan
documentation and credit analysis standards to be met prior to the approval and
funding of any loan. In accordance with that policy, the internal loan review
process monitors the loan portfolio on an ongoing basis. The Credit
Administration area then prepares an analysis of the allowance for loan losses
on a quarterly basis, which is then submitted to the board of directors for its
assessment as to the adequacy of the allowance. The allowance for loan losses is
an accumulation of expenses that has been charged against past and present
earnings in anticipation of potential losses in the loan portfolio.

      The allowance for loan losses at March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003 was
$2,541,000 and $2,403,000, compared to $2,270,000 at March 31, 2003. The
increase in the allowance was attributable, in part, to the growth of the loan
portfolio and the shift in the loan mix, where there was continued growth in
commercial loans, which generally carry a higher level of credit risk. At March
31, 2004, the allowance for loan losses represented 1.22% of the gross loan
portfolio, compared with 1.16% at December 31, 2003. This compares to 1.27% at
March 31, 2003. At March 31, 2004, management believes the allowance for loan
loss reserve to be reasonable and adequate to meet potential losses.

(1)   Bank's loan portfolio is entirely domestic

      The Bank's lending policy is executed through the assignment of tiered
loan limit authorities to individual officers of the Bank, the Officer's Loan
Committee, the Board Loan Committee and the Board of Directors. Although the
Bank maintains sound credit policies, certain loans may deteriorate for a
variety of reasons. The Bank's policy is to place all loans on a non-accrual
status upon becoming 90 days delinquent in their payments, unless there is a
documented, reasonable expectation of the collection of the delinquent amount.
Loans are reviewed monthly as to their status, and on a quarterly basis, a Watch
List of potentially troubled loans is prepared and presented to the board of
directors. Management is not aware of any material potential loan problems that
have not been disclosed in this report.

      At March 31, 2004, the Company had other real estate owned as acquired
through foreclosure, in the amount of $149,000, which decreased $127,000, from
$276,000 at December 31, 2003, as a result of the sale of two residential
property loans. The Company expects to dispose of the remaining properties with
minimal or no loss.

      Loan concentrations are considered to exist when the total amount of loans
to any one or a multiple number of borrowers engaged in similar activities or
having similar characteristics exceeds 10% of loans outstanding in any one
category. The majority of the Bank's lending is made within its primary market

area, which includes Emmaus and the East Penn community in Lehigh County,
Pennsylvania.

Bank Owned Life Insurance

      The Company has BOLI for a chosen group of employees, namely officers,
where the Bank is the owner and beneficiary of the policies. The Bank's deposits
and proceeds from the sale of security investments funded the BOLI. Earnings
from the BOLI are recognized as other income. The BOLI is profitable from the
appreciation of the cash surrender values of the pool of insurance, and its tax
advantage to the Company. This profitability is used to offset a portion of
current and future employee benefit costs and a Nonqualified Supplemental
Executive Retirement Plan for the Company's Chief Executive Officer.

      The Company had $7,002,000 and $5,426,000 in BOLI, as of March 31, 2004
and December 31, 2003. Although the BOLI is an asset that may be liquidated, it
is the Company's intention to hold this pool of insurance because it provides
tax-exempt income that lowers the Company's tax liability, while enhancing its
overall capital position. Because of the benefits derived from investing in
BOLI, an additional $1,500,000 BOLI investment was made during the first quarter
of 2004.

Investment in Bank

      During the fourth quarter of 2003, the Company purchased 153,423 shares
for $1,534,230 of common stock outstanding of a newly formed de novo bank, named
Berkshire Bank, located in Wyomissing, Berks County, Pennsylvania. The
investment, which represents 18.3% of the de novo bank's outstanding common
shares, is carried at cost and included in the other assets category on the
balance sheet.

Deposits

      Deposits are the major source of the Company's funds for lending and
investment purposes. Total deposits at March 31, 2004 were $283,430,000, an
increase of $3,532,000, or 1.3%, from total deposits of $279,898,000 at December
31, 2003. The increase in deposits was due to increases of $616,000 in interest
bearing demand deposit accounts, $2,927,000 in savings accounts and $2,494,000
in non-interest bearing demand deposit accounts, offset by a decline of
$2,505,000 in certificates of deposit. The reduction in certificates of deposit
was due to a managed run-off of higher costing deposits into lower costing
deposits, which resulted in reducing the Bank's overall cost of funds to 1.85%
at March 31, 2004 from 1.94% at December 31, 2003 and 2.16% at March 31, 2003

Federal Funds Purchased and Securities Sold under Agreements to Repurchase

      There were no outstanding balances in federal funds purchased at March 31,
2004 and December 31, 2003. The Bank has a $5,000,000 federal funds line of
credit with its main correspondent bank, Atlantic Central Bankers Bank, Camp
Hill, Pennsylvania ("ACBB").

      Securities sold under agreements to repurchase were $4,976,000 at March
31, 2004, compared to $4,512,000 at December 31, 2003. Securities sold under
agreements to repurchase generally mature in one business day and roll over
under a continuing contract.

Long-Term Debt and Borrowing Capacity

      The Bank has a maximum borrowing capacity of approximately $159,228,000
with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh ("FHLB"), out of which $25 million
was outstanding at March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, resulting in an unused
borrowing capacity of $134,228,000. The $25 million borrowing is comprised of
the following fixed rate borrowings:

Asset/Liability Management

      The management of interest rate risk involves measuring and analyzing the
maturity and repricing of interest-earning assets and interest bearing
liabilities at specific points in time. The imbalance between interest-earning
assets and interest bearing liabilities is commonly referred to as the interest
rate gap. The interest rate gap is one measure of the risk inherent in the
existing balance sheet as it relates to potential changes in net interest
income. Maintaining an appropriate balance between interest-earning assets and
interest bearing liabilities is a means of monitoring and possibly avoiding
material fluctuations in the net interest margin during periods of changing
interest rates.

      The Company's overall sensitivity to interest rate risk is low due to its
non-complex balance sheet. The Company manages its balance sheet with the intent
of stabilizing net interest income and net economic value under a broad range of
interest rate environments. The Company has the ability to effect various
strategies to manage interest rate risk, which include, but are not limited to,
selling newly originated residential mortgage loans, controlling the volume mix
of fixed/variable rate commercial loans and securities, increasing/ decreasing
deposits via interest rate changes, borrowing from the FHLB, and buying/selling
securities. Adjustments to the mix of assets and liabilities are made
periodically in an effort to give the Company dependable and steady growth in
net interest income, while at the same time, managing the related risks.

Liquidity

      Liquidity represents the Company's ability to efficiently manage cash
flows at reasonable rates to support possible commitments to borrowers or the
demands of depositors. Liquidity is essential to compensate for fluctuations in
the balance sheet and provide funds for growth and normal operating
expenditures. Liquidity needs may be met by converting assets into cash or
obtaining sources of additional funding.

      Liquidity from asset categories is provided through cash, amounts due from
banks, interest-bearing deposits with banks and federal funds sold, which were
$14,622,000 at March 31, 2004, compared to $8,593,000 at December 31, 2003.
Additional asset liquidity sources include principal and interest payments from
securities in the Company's investment portfolio and cash flow from its
amortizing loan portfolio. Longer-term liquidity needs may be met by selling
securities available for sale, selling loans or raising additional capital. At
March 31, 2004, available for sale securities of $87,633,000 were readily
available for liquidity purposes, compared to $90,642,000 at December 31, 2003.

      Liability liquidity sources include attracting deposits at competitive
rates. Deposits at March 31, 2004 were $283,430,000, compared to $279,898,000 at
December 31, 2003. In addition, the Bank has federal fund lines of credit with
its main correspondent bank, ACBB, and with the FHLB, which are reliable sources
for short and long-term funds.

      The Company's financial statements do not reflect various off-balance
sheet commitments that are made in the normal course of business, which may
involve some liquidity risk.

      Management is of the opinion that its liquidity position, at March 31,
2004, is adequate to respond to fluctuations "on" and "off" the balance sheet.
In addition, management knows of no trends, demands, commitments, events or
uncertainties that may result in, or that are reasonably likely to result in the
Company's inability to meet anticipated or unexpected liquidity needs.

<PAGE>

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company's financial statements do not reflect various off-balance sheet
arrangements that are made in the normal course of business. These commitments
consist mainly of loans approved but not yet funded, unused lines of credit and
letters of credit made in accordance with the same standards as on-balance sheet
instruments. Unused commitments at March 31, 2004 were $74,438,000, which
consisted of $61,284,000 in unfunded commitments to existing loans, $12,528,000
to grant new loans and $626,000 in letters of credit. Because these instruments
have fixed maturity dates, and because many of them will expire without being
drawn upon, they do not generally present a significant liquidity risk to the
Company. Management believes that any amounts actually drawn upon can be funded
in the normal course of operations. The Company has no investment in or
financial relationship with any unconsolidated entities that are reasonably
likely to have a material effect on liquidity or the availability of capital
resources.

Capital

      Pertinent capital information and ratios as of March 31, 2004 are
presented as follows:

      Capital Ratios:
      ------------------------------------------------
            Tier I Risk-Based Capital            11.3%
      ------------------------------------------------
            Minimum Required                      4.0%

           Total Risk-Based Capital              13.1%
      ------------------------------------------------
           Minimum Required                       8.0%
      ------------------------------------------------

      ------------------------------------------------
           Tangible Tier I Capital Ratio          7.7%
      ------------------------------------------------
           Minimum Required                   3% to 5%
      ------------------------------------------------

      These capital ratios continue to remain at levels, which are considered to
be "well-capitalized" as defined by regulatory guidelines.

      Banking laws and regulations limit the amount of cash dividends that may
be paid without prior approval from the Company's regulatory agencies. In
abidance with such requirements, on January 15, 2004, the board of directors
authorized and declared a semi-annual cash dividend for 2004 in the amount of
$0.08 per share, payable on February 28, 2004 to all shareholders of record on
January 31, 2004. The payment of this semi-annual cash dividend decreased
retained earnings by $504,000.

      Restrictions under the Pennsylvania Banking Code of 1965 are placed on the
size of a Bank's investment in fixed assets as a percentage of equity.
Presently, the Bank exceeds the allowable limit of 25% of equity, as defined by
the Pennsylvania Department of Banking. The Bank's fixed assets as a percentage
of equity increased to 38.3 % at March 31, 2004, as compared with 31.7% at March
31, 2003. This increase was primarily the result of the purchase of a
three-story, 20,000 square foot brick office building that was purchased for
$1,440,000 on February 27, 2004 to house administrative and operational offices.
Generally, the Bank contacts the Department of Banking prior to the acquisition
of material dollar fixed asset additions to obtain the Department's approval. On
an ongoing basis, compliance with this section of the Banking Code is expected
to occur through normal depreciation adjustments and retention of earnings.

ITEM 3

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

      In the normal course of conducting business activities, the Company is
exposed to market risk, principally interest risk. Interest risk arises from
market driven fluctuations in interest rates that affect cash flows, income,
expense and values of financial instruments. The asset/liability committee,
using policies and procedures approved by the board of directors, is responsible
for managing the rate sensitivity position.

      No material changes in the market risk strategy occurred during the
current period. No material changes have been noted in the Company's equity
value at risk. A detailed discussion of market risk is provided in the Form 10-K
for the period ended December 31, 2003.

ITEM 4

Controls and Procedures

      (a)   Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

            As of March 31, 2004, the Company carried out an evaluation, under
            the supervision and with the participation of the Company's
            management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer and
            Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and
            operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures
            pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e). Based upon that evaluation,
            the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded
            that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective
            in timely alerting them to material information relating to the
            Company (including its consolidated subsidiary) required to be
            included in the Company's periodic filings.

      (b)   Changes in internal controls.

            The Company made no significant changes in its internal controls or
            in other factors that could significantly affect these controls
            during the quarter ended March 31, 2004, including any corrective
            actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material
            weaknesses.
