                                     PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

General

     Community Independent Bank, Inc. (the "Company") is a Pennsylvania business
corporation which is registered as a bank holding company under the Bank Holding
Company Act of 1956, as amended (the "Holding Company Act"). The Company was
incorporated on December 31, 1984 for the purpose of acquiring Bernville Bank,
N.A. (the "Bank") and thereby enabling the Bank to operate within a bank holding
company structure. The Company became an active bank holding company on December
31, 1984 when it acquired the Bank. The Bank is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Company.

     The Company's principal activities consist of owning and supervising the
Bank, which engages in a full service commercial and consumer banking business.
The Company, through the Bank, derives substantially all of its income from the
furnishing of banking and bank related services.

     The Company is a legal entity separate and distinct from the Bank. The
rights of the Company, and thus the rights of the Company's creditors and
shareholders, to participate in the distributions and earnings of the Bank, are
necessarily subject to the prior claims of the creditors of the Bank, except to
the extent that claims of the Company itself as a creditor may be recognized.
Such claims on the Bank by creditors other than the Company include obligations
in respect of federal funds purchased and certain other borrowings, as well as
deposit liabilities.

     The Company directs the policies and coordinates the financial resources of
the Bank. The Company provides and performs various technical and advisory
services for the Bank, coordinates the Bank's general policies and activities,
and participates in the Bank's major business decisions.

     As of December 31, 1998, the Company, on a consolidated basis, had total
assets of approximately $101.7 million, total deposits of approximately $85.4
million, and stockholders' equity of approximately $7.4 million.

Bernville Bank, N.A.

     The Bank was incorporated in 1907 under the laws of the United States of
America as a national bank under the name "The First National Bank of
Bernville." In 1971, the charter was changed to a state charter under the name
"Bernville Bank." In 1983, the charter was again changed to a national banking
association under the current name. The Bank is a member of the Federal Reserve
System.

     As of December 31, 1998, the Bank (exclusive of the holding company assets
and liabilities) had total assets of approximately $101.7 million, total
deposits of approximately $85.6 million, and stockholders' equity of
approximately $7.2 million. Its deposits are insured by the Bank Insurance Fund
("BIF") maintained by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC") to
the maximum extent permitted by law.

     The Bank engages in a full service commercial and consumer banking
business. The Bank, with its main office at 201 North Main Street, Bernville,
Pennsylvania, also provides services to its customers through three full service
branch banks which include drive-in facilities, and one loan service center. The
Bank's main office, three full service branch offices, operations center and
loan service center are all located in Berks County, Pennsylvania.

     The Bank's services include accepting time, demand and saving deposits,
including NOW accounts, regular savings accounts, money market certificates,
fixed rate certificates of deposit and club accounts. Its services also include
making secured and unsecured commercial and consumer loans, making construction
and mortgage loans and the renting of safe deposit facilities. The Bank also
offers a check card to its customers and has instituted "Xpress Phone Banking"
which provides customers 24-hour access to their accounts. Additional services
include making residential mortgage loans, small business loans and student
loans. The Bank's business loans include seasonal credit, collateral loans and
term loans. The Bank is not authorized to exercise trust powers.

                                       4
<PAGE>
 
     No material amount of deposits is obtained from a single depositor or group
of depositors (including Federal, state and local governments). The Bank has not
experienced any significant seasonal fluctuations in the amount of its deposits.

     Both fixed and adjustable rate residential mortgage loans are offered.
Fixed rate loans for residential mortgages have terms up to 30 years. Fixed rate
residential mortgage loans ranging from 20 to 30 years are generally sold in the
secondary market. Adjustable rate loans are held in portfolio. The current
residential mortgage portfolio is comprised of substantially all fixed rate
loans.

     Home Equity loans are originated as fixed rate loans with terms generally
between 5 to 8 years, and occasionally up to 15 years. Variable-rate home equity
loans are also offered and represent approximately only 3% of the portfolio.

     Commercial loans are offered as either variable rate loans for the life of
the loan or have a fixed term for 3 to 5 years and then vary according to an
index. Fixed rate loans currently represent 76% of the commercial portfolio.

     Consumer loans are primarily fixed rates and represent 94% of the consumer
loan portfolio. Lines of credit are offered as adjustable rates and represent 6%
of the portfolio.

     The Bank requires private mortgage insurance for all residential mortgage
loans in excess of the 80% of the appraised value. For retail loans, the Bank's
general policy is not to lend above 95% of the collateral value. However, any
retail loan over 85% of the appraised value requires private mortgage insurance.
Commercial loans are generally held at 75% loan to value.

     No significant portion of the Bank's loans is concentrated within any one
business industry.

     The Bank has no deposits or loans directly with foreign entities, and has a
minimal amount of deposits made by persons working in foreign countries. The
Bank's assets are not invested in foreign securities, Eurodollars or foreign
loans.

Market Area and Competition

     The Bank's primary service area is the northwestern portion of Berks
County, Pennsylvania. By all indications, Berks County has experienced and will
continue to experience good economic growth. Much of Berks County's land is
dedicated to farming, while the number of manufacturing jobs in the area is
higher than the national average. Prominent manufacturing employers in Berks
County include East Penn Manufacturing Co., Inc., Carpenter Technology
Corporation, AT&T Microelectronics, Dana Corporation and Arrow International.
The unemployment level in the area has remained low during the recent past.
Additionally, Berks County continues to experience moderate population growth as
the Philadelphia metropolitan area grows north and west.

     The Bank competes with local commercial banks as well as other commercial
banks with branches in the Bank's market area. All phases of the Bank's business
are highly competitive. The Bank considers its major competition to be Berks
County Bank, headquartered in Reading, Pennsylvania, and First National Bank of
Leesport, headquartered in Leesport, Pennsylvania.

     The Bank, along with other commercial banks, competes with respect to its
lending activities as well as in attracting demand deposits, with savings banks,
savings and loan associations, insurance companies, regulated small loan
companies and credit unions. Most of these competitors have substantially
greater financial resources than the Company including a larger capital base
which allows them to attract customers seeking larger loans than the Bank is
able to make.

     The Bank is generally competitive with all competing financial institutions
in its service areas with respect to interest rates paid on time and savings
deposits, service charges on deposit accounts and interest rates charged on
loans.

                                       5

Supervision and Regulation

     The Company is subject to regulation by the Pennsylvania Department of
Banking and the Federal Reserve Board. The deposits of the Bank are insured by
the FDIC and the Bank is a member of the Bank Insurance Fund which is
administered by the FDIC. The Bank is subject to regulation by the Pennsylvania
Department of Banking and the FDIC, but, as a national bank, is regulated and
examined by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency.

     The Company is required to file with the Federal Reserve Board an annual
report and such additional information as the Federal Reserve Board may require
pursuant to the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the "BHC Act").
The Federal Reserve Board may also make examinations of the Company. The BHC Act
requires each bank holding company to obtain the approval of the Federal Reserve
Board before it may acquire substantially all the assets of any bank, or before
it may acquire ownership or control of any voting shares of any bank if, after
such acquisition, it would own or control, directly or indirectly, more than
five percent of the voting shares of such bank.

     Pursuant to provisions of the BHC Act and regulations promulgated by the
Federal Reserve Board thereunder, the Company may only engage in or own
companies that engage in activities deemed by the Federal Reserve Board to be so
closely related to the business of banking or managing or controlling banks as
to be a proper incident thereto, and the Company must gain permission from the
Federal Reserve Board prior to engaging in most new business activities.

     A bank holding company and its subsidiaries are subject to certain
restrictions imposed by the BHC Act on any extensions of credit to the bank or
any of its subsidiaries, investments in the stock or securities thereof, and on
the taking of such stock or securities as collateral for loans to any borrower.
A bank holding company and its subsidiaries are also prevented from engaging in
certain tie-in arrangements in connection with any extension of credit, lease or
sale of property or furnishing of services.

Source of Strength Doctrine

     Under Federal Reserve Board regulations, a bank holding company is required
to serve as a source of financial and managerial strength to its subsidiary
banks and may not conduct its operations in an unsafe or unsound manner. In
addition, it is the Federal Reserve Board's policy that in serving as a source
of strength to its subsidiary banks, a bank holding company should stand ready
to use available resources to provide adequate capital funds to its subsidiary
banks during periods of financial stress or adversity and should maintain the
financial flexibility and capital-raising capacity to obtain additional
resources for assisting its subsidiary banks. A bank holding company's failure
to meet its obligations to serve as a source of strength to its subsidiary banks
will generally be considered by the Federal Reserve Board to be an unsafe and
unsound banking practice or a violation of the Federal Reserve Board regulations
or both. This doctrine is commonly known as the "source of strength" doctrine.

Dividends

     Dividends are paid by the Company from its assets, which are mainly
provided by dividends from the Bank. However, certain regulatory restrictions
exist regarding the ability of the Bank to transfer funds to the Company in the
form of cash dividends, loans or advances. The approval of the Comptroller of
the Currency is required if the total of all dividends declared by a national
bank in any calendar year exceeds the Bank's net profits (as defined) for that
year combined with its retained net profits for the preceding two calendar
years. Under this restriction, the Bank, without prior regulatory approval, can
declare dividends to the Company totaling $863,000, plus an additional amount
equal to the Bank's net profit for 1999, up to the date of any such dividend
declaration.

Capital Adequacy

     The Federal banking regulators have adopted risk-based capital guidelines
for bank holding companies, such as the Company. Currently, the required minimum
ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets (including off-balance sheet
activities, such as standby letters of credit) is 8%. At least half of the total
capital is required to be Tier 1 capital, consisting principally of common
shareholders' equity, non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock, a limited amount
of cumulative perpetual preferred stock and minority interests in the equity
accounts of consolidated subsidiaries, less goodwill. The remainder (Tier 2
capital) may consist of a limited amount of subordinated debt and
intermediate-term preferred stock, certain hybrid capital instruments and other
debt securities, perpetual preferred stock and a limited amount of the general
loan loss allowance.

     In addition to the risk-based capital guidelines, the Federal banking
regulators established minimum leverage ratio (Tier 1 capital to total assets)
guidelines for bank holding companies. These guidelines provide for a minimum
leverage ratio of 3% for those bank holding companies which have the highest
regulatory examination ratings and are not contemplating or experiencing
significant growth or expansion. All other bank holding companies are required
to maintain a leverage ratio of at least 1% to 2% above the 3% stated minimum.
The Company and the Bank exceed all applicable capital requirements.

FDICIA

     In 1991, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act
("FDICIA") was signed into law. FDICIA established five different levels of
capitalization of financial institutions, with "prompt corrective actions" and
significant operational restrictions imposed on institutions that are capital
deficient under the categories. The five categories are: well capitalized,
adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized and
critically undercapitalized.

     To be considered well capitalized, an institution must have a total
risk-based capital ratio of at least 10%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of
at least 6%, a leverage capital ratio of 5%, and must not be subject to any
order or directive requiring the institution to improve its capital level. An
institution falls within the adequately capitalized category if it has a total
risk-based capital ratio of at least 8%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of at
least 4%, and a leverage capital ratio of at least 4%. Institutions with lower
capital levels are deemed to be undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized
or critically undercapitalized, depending on their actual capital levels. In
addition, the appropriate federal regulatory agency may downgrade an institution
to the next lower capital category upon a determination that the institution is
in an unsafe or unsound condition, or is engaged in an unsafe or unsound
practice. Institutions are required under FDICIA to closely monitor their
capital levels and to notify their appropriate regulatory agency of any basis
for a change in capital category. On December 31, 1998, the Company and the Bank
exceeded the minimum capital levels of the well capitalized category.

     Regulatory oversight of an institution becomes more stringent with each
lower capital category, with certain "prompt corrective actions" imposed
depending on the level of capital deficiency.

Other Provisions of FDICIA

     Each depository institution must submit audited financial statements to its
primary regulator and the FDIC, which reports are made publicly available. In
addition, the audit committee of each depository institution must consist of
outside directors and the audit committee at "large institutions" (as defined by
FDIC regulation) must include members with banking or financial management
expertise. The audit committee at "large institutions" must also have access to
independent outside counsel. In addition, an institution must notify the FDIC
and the institution's primary regulator of any change in the institution's
independent auditor, and annual management letters must be provided to the FDIC
and the depository institution's primary regulator. The regulations define a
"large institution" as one with over $500 million in assets, which does not
include the Bank. Also, under the rule, an institution's independent auditor
must examine the institution's internal controls over financial reporting.

                                       7
<PAGE>
 
     Under FDICIA, each federal banking agency must prescribe certain safety and
soundness standards for depository institutions and their holding companies.
Three types of standards must be prescribed: asset quality and earnings,
operational and managerial, and compensation. Such standards would include a
ratio of classified assets to capital, minimum earnings, and, to the extent
feasible, a minimum ratio of market value to book value for publicly traded
securities of such institutions and holding companies. Operational and
managerial standards must relate to: (i) internal controls, information systems
and internal audit systems, (ii) loan documentation, (iii) credit underwriting,
(iv) interest rate exposure, (v) asset growth, and (vi) compensation, fees and
benefits.

     Provisions of FDICIA relax certain requirements for mergers and
acquisitions among financial institutions, including authorization of mergers of
insured institutions that are not members of the same insurance fund, and
provide specific authorization for a federally chartered savings association or
national bank to be acquired by an insured depository institution.

     Under FDICIA, all depository institutions must provide 90 days notice to
their primary federal regulator of branch closings, and penalties are imposed
for false reports by financial institutions. Depository institutions with assets
in excess of $250 million must be examined on-site annually by their primary
federal or state regulator or the FDIC.

     FDICIA also sets forth Truth in Savings disclosure and advertising
requirements applicable to all depository institutions.

FDIC Insurance Assessments

     The Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989
("FIRREA") created two deposit insurance funds to be administered by the FDIC:
the Savings Association Insurance Fund (SAIF) and the Bank Insurance Fund (BIF).
The Bank's deposits are insured under BIF. The FDIC has implemented a
risk-related premium schedule for all insured depository institutions that
results in the assessment of premium based on capital and supervisory measures.

     Under the risk-related premium schedule, the FDIC assigns, on a semiannual
basis, each institution to one of three capital groups (well capitalized,
adequately capitalized or undercapitalized) and further assigns such institution
to one of three subgroups within a capital group. The institution's subgroup
assignment is based upon the FDIC's judgment of the institution's strength in
light of supervisory evaluations, including examination reports, statistical
analyses and other information relevant to gauging the risk posed by the
institution. Only institutions with a total capital to risk-adjusted assets
ratio of 10.00% or greater, a Tier 1 capital to risk-adjusted assets ratio of
6.0% or greater and a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 5.0% or greater are assigned to
the well-capitalized group.

SAIF Re-capitalization Plan

     On September 30, 1996, Congress enacted a SAIF Recapitalization Plan and a
plan for banks insured by the fully capitalized BIF to share the burden of
repaying outstanding Finance Corporation (FICO) bonds issued to fund SAIF's
predecessor (the "FSLIC") in the late 1980s. The legislation enacted by Congress
containing the Recapitalization Plan is entitled the Deposit Insurance Funds Act
of 1996.

     Under the Recapitalization Plan, SAIF insured institutions were required to
pay a one time special assessment in the fourth quarter of 1996 equivalent to
65.7 cents for every $100 of insured deposits as of March 31, 1995. The one time
special assessment on SAIF insured deposits is intended to result in a major
decrease in annual insurance premiums paid by SAIF insured institutions. At the
end of 1996, SAIF insured institutions generally paid 23 cents for each $100 of
deposit insurance coverage while BIF insured banks insured by the fully
capitalized BIF paid virtually zero assessments.

                                       8

     As part of the legislation, a new formula was adopted whereby BIF insured
institutions, such as the Bank, would be required to share in the burden of
repayment of the FICO bonds issued to finance the FSLIC in the 1980s. Commencing
in calendar year 1997, the only deposit insurance cost for most
well-capitalized, well-managed BIF insured and SAIF insured institutions will be
FICO bond payments. For years 1997 through 1999, SAIF insured institutions will
pay approximately 6.5 cents per $100 in deposits toward the FICO bond payments
while BIF insured institutions will pay approximately 1.3 cents per $100 in
deposits. During 1998, the Bank paid $8,654 to the FDIC based on average
deposits of approximately $73 million. From the year 2000 to 2017, both SAIF
insured institutions and BIF insured institutions will pay approximately 2.43
cents per $100 in deposits toward retirement of the FICO obligations.

     The legislation also contains certain restrictions on the ability of SAIF
insured institutions to transfer deposits to BIF insured affiliates and a
requirement that Congress must eliminate the thrift charter before merging SAIF
into BIF. Finally, the legislation also contained a prohibition against the FDIC
assessing any deposit insurance premiums against well-managed, well-capitalized
banks when BIF reserves are at or above the statutory reserve requirement of
1.25% of total insured deposits.

Interstate Banking

     Prior to the passage of the Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching
Efficiency Act of 1994 (the "Riegle-Neal Act") in September 1994, interstate
acquisitions were prohibited under the terms of the Douglas Amendment to the BHC
Act unless the acquisition was specifically authorized by a reciprocal
interstate banking statute, such as the statute adopted in Pennsylvania in 1990.
Similarly, interstate branching was prohibited for national banks and
state-chartered member banks by the McFadden Act, although some states, not
including Pennsylvania, had passed laws permitting limited interstate branching
by non-Federal Reserve member state banks. The Riegle-Neal Act permits an
adequately capitalized, adequately managed bank holding company to acquire a
bank in another state as of September 29, 1994, whether or not the state permits
the acquisition, subject to certain deposit concentration caps and the Federal
Reserve Board's approval. A state may not impose discriminatory requirements on
acquisitions by out-of-state holding companies. In addition, beginning on June
1, 1997, under the Riegle-Neal Act, a bank can expand interstate by merging with
a bank in another state and also may consolidate the acquired bank into new
branch offices of the acquiring bank, unless the other state affirmatively opts
out of the legislation before that date. A state may also opt into the
legislation earlier than June 1, 1997 if it wishes to do so. The Riegle-Neal Act
also permits de novo interstate branching as of June 1, 1997 but only if a state
affirmatively opts in by appropriate legislation. Once a state opts in to
interstate branching, it may not opt out at a later date. The Riegle-Neal Act
also allows foreign banks to branch by merger or de novo branch to the same
extent as banks from the foreign bank's home state. The Riegle-Neal Act also
subjects foreign banks to some additional requirements, including extending
obligations under the Community Reinvestment Act to certain foreign bank
acquisitions and regulating the types of activities off-shore branches of
foreign banks may conduct. The Pennsylvania Legislature amended the Pennsylvania
Banking Code of 1965 in July, 1995, to opt in to all of the provisions of the
Riegle-Neal Act, including interstate bank mergers and de novo interstate
branching.

Year 2000 Compliance

     As the year 2000 approaches, regulation about the Company and the Bank with
respect to completing Year 2000 modifications is likely to increase. A brief
discussion of the most recent federal banking agency pronouncements that affect
the Company and/or the Bank follows.

     In December, 1997, the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council
("FFIEC") issued an inter-agency statement. The statement indicates that senior
management and the board of directors should be actively involved in managing
the Company's and the Bank's Year 2000 compliance efforts. The statement also
recommended that institutions obtain the Year 2000 compliance certification from
vendors followed by comprehensive internal testing. In addition, contingency
plans should be developed for all vendors that service "mission critical"
applications which are applications vital to the successful continuance of a
core business activity. In addition, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"SEC") adopted, effective August 4, 1998, an interpretive release providing
guidance to public companies, such as the Company, with respect to making
meaningful disclosure of their Year 2000 issues. The Company has provided such
disclosure in its Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operation under the heading "Year 2000."

Legislative Developments

     From time to time, various federal and state regulation is proposed that
could result in additional regulation of, and restriction on, the business of
the Company and the Bank, or otherwise change the business environment.
Management cannot predict whether any of this legislation, if enacted, will have
a material effect on the business of the Company.

Employees

     As of December 31,1998, the Bank had a total of 43 full-time and 13
part-time employees. The Bank provides a variety of employment benefits and
considers its relationship with its employees to be good.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

     The bank owns the main office of the Company and the Bank located at 201
North Main Street, Bernville, Pennsylvania and its branch offices located on
Route 422, R.D. 1, Robesonia, Pennsylvania, and on Roadside Drive,
Shartlesville, Pennsylvania. The property on which the main office is situated
is comprised of approximately 6,300 square feet of space in the aggregate, of
which approximately 2,100 square feet is used for banking facilities and the
remainder is used for corporate and other offices. The branch office located in
Robesonia is comprised of approximately 2,000 square feet. The branch office
located in Shartlesville is also comprised of approximately 2,000 square feet
with an additional basement comprised of approximately 1,000 square feet.

     The Bank also leases the premises for one branch location, the operations
center and a loan center under operating lease agreements expiring in various
years through October 2017. Certain lease agreements contain escalation
provisions. The Bank also has options to extend the lease agreements for
additional lease terms from five to thirty years. The Bank is responsible to pay
all real estate taxes, insurance, utilities and maintenance and repairs on the
buildings. The loan center is located on Berkshire Boulevard in Wyomissing,
Pennsylvania, and comprises approximately 1,157 square feet. The branch office
is located on Commerce Drive in Wyomissing, Pennsylvania and is comprised of
approximately 3,300 square feet. The operations center is located on Corporate
Drive of the Berks Corporate Center in Reading, Pennsylvania, and comprises
approximately 7,500 square feet.

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR COMMON STOCK AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

     Since August 19, 1998, the Company's Common Stock is traded on the American
Stock Exchange under the symbol CMYI. Prior to that date, the Company's stock
was traded in the over the counter market. The Common Stock has not been
actively traded and there is no assurance that an active market will develop in
the future. The following broker-dealers currently make a market in the
Company's Common Stock: F.J. Morrissey & Co., Inc., Ryan, Beck & Co., Wheat,
First Union Securities Inc. and Berkshire Capital Management.

     The following table sets forth high and low bid prices per share for the
Company's Common Stock for each quarter of 1997, and each quarter of 1998, based
upon information obtained from the American Stock Exchange (since August 19,
1998) and the OTC Bulletin Board. All such bid prices reflect inter-dealer
prices, without retail mark-up, markdown or commissions and may not necessarily
represent actual transactions. The table also reflects cash dividends declared
on the Company's Common Stock.

     As of December 31, 1998, 696,774 shares of Common Stock were outstanding
held of record by approximately 483 persons, and there were outstanding options
which were exercisable on that date (or within 90 days thereof) for 9,267 shares
of Common Stock.

     The holders of the Company's Common Stock are entitled to receive dividends
when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally
available therefor, subject to the payment of any preferential dividend to the
holders of the Company's Preferred Stock, if any. Funds for the payment of
dividends of the Company are primarily obtained from dividends paid by the Bank.

     On June 25, 1998, the Company adopted a dividend reinvestment and stock
purchase plan available to stockholders who elect to reinvest their cash
dividends for the purchase of additional shares of the Company's Common Stock.
Participants may also elect to make voluntary cash payments not to exceed $2,500
each quarter for the purchase of additional shares of the Company's Common
Stock.

     It is the present intention of the Company's Board of Directors to continue
to pay regular quarterly cash dividends; however, the declaration and payment of
future dividends is at the sole discretion of the Board of Directors, and their
amount depends upon the earnings, financial condition and capital needs of the
Company and the Bank and certain other factors, including restrictions arising
from federal banking laws and regulations to which the Company and the Bank are
subject.

                                       11

     The Bank is subject to certain limitations on the amount of cash dividends
that it can pay. The prior approval of the Comptroller of Currency of the United
States is required if the total of all cash dividends declared by a national
bank, such as the Bank, in any calendar year will exceed the sum of such bank's
net profits (as defined by statute) for that year combined with the retained net
profits for the preceding two calendar years, less any required transfers to
surplus. Under this formula, as of December 31, 1998, the Bank has approximately
$863,000 legally available for the payment of dividends without such approval.
In addition, the Comptroller of the Currency is authorized to determine under
certain circumstances relating to the financial condition of a national bank
that the payment of dividends would be an unsafe or unsound practice and to
prohibit payment thereof. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Act
generally prohibits all payments of the dividends by any bank which is in
default of any assessment to the FDIC.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


     The purpose of this discussion is to focus on information about the
Company's financial condition and results of operations which is not otherwise
apparent from the financial statements. Reference should be made to those
statements and the selected financial data presented elsewhere for an
understanding of the following discussion and analysis.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Community Independent Bank, Inc. recorded net income of $ 544,000 ($0 .78
per share) for 1998 compared to $ 587,000 ($ 0.84 per share) in 1997. Return on
average assets was .58% for 1998 and .80% for 1997. The decrease in net income
of $ 43,000 in 1998 was primarily caused by an increase in other expenses of $
787,000 and an increase in the provision for loan losses of $ 162,000 from 1997
to 1998 which was offset by an increase in other income of $ 254,000, and an
increase in net interest income of $ 662,000 from 1997 to 1998. A more detailed
explanation for each contribution to the change in net income from 1997 to 1998
is included in the remainder of this analysis.


Net Interest Income

     Net interest income is the primary source of operating income for the
Company. Net interest income is the difference between interest earned on loans
and securities and interest paid on deposits and other funding sources.
Generally, changes in net interest income are measured by the net interest rate
spread and net interest rate margin. The net interest rate spread is equal to
the difference between the average rate earned on earning assets and the average
rate incurred on interest-bearing liabilities. The net interest rate margin
represents the difference between interest income (including net loan fees
earned) and interest expense calculated as a percentage of average earning
assets. The factors that influence net interest income include changes in
interest rates and changes in the volume and mix of assets and liability
balances.

     Net interest income increased $ 662,000 or 23% in 1998 compared to 1997.
Table 1 analyzes the factors contributing to the increase in net interest income
in 1998. The average balances, interest income and expense, and the average
rates earned and paid for assets and liabilities are found in Table 2.

     During 1998, the average yield on earning assets increased .09%, while the
average cost of funds increased .23%. An increase of $ 17,404,000 or 31% in
average loan volume during 1998 resulted in additional loan interest income of $
1,533,000. However, lower interest rates resulted in a decrease in the yield
earned on average loans in 1998 to 8.79% compared to 8.81% in 1997.

     The Company's securities' portfolio in 1998 grew by $ 1,368,000 or 13%
compared to 1997. Interest income increased $ 104,000 or 19% in 1998 compared to
1997 primarily due to the increased portfolio.

     Average interest-bearing demand deposits, savings deposits and certificates
of deposit increased by $ 12,288,000 or 21% in 1998 compared to 1997. The
increase in interest expense on these deposits of $ 599,000 or 24% was primarily
a result of the increase in deposits during 1998 as the average rate paid on
deposits increased 8 basis points from 4.42% to 4.50%.

                                       14

Net Interest Income (Continued)

     Likewise, the Company increased its reliance on short-term borrowings and
long-term debt as a source of funds in 1998. Average short-term borrowings
increased $ 1,917,000, resulting in additional interest expense of $ 111,000
while the rate paid on these borrowings decreased interest expense by $ 8,000.
Long-term debt averaged $ 5,000,000 in 1998 compared to $ 1,164,000 in 1997,
resulting in additional interest expense of $ 231,000.

Other Income

     Other income increased by $ 254,000 or 59% from 1997 to 1998. The increase
which occurred in 1998 is summarized as follows. Service charges on deposit
accounts increased $ 44,000 or 21% which directly correlated with the increase
in customer accounts. The increase in other income of $ 122,000 or 70% is due to
an increase in earnings on life insurance policies and loan related fees. Gains
on loan sales increased $ 88,000 or 200% as a result of an increase in the
volume of loan sales.


Other Expenses

     Other expenses increased $ 787,000 or 32% in 1998 to $ 3,276,000 compared
to $ 2,489,000 in 1997. Salaries and benefits totaled $ 1,694,000 in 1998, an
increase of $ 431,000 or 34% from 1997. Occupancy expense totaled $ 325,000 in
1998, an increase of $ 130,000 or 68% compared to $ 194,000 in 1997. Equipment
and furniture expenses increased $ 72,000 or 31% in 1998 to $ 308,000 compared
to $ 236,000 in 1997. The increase in salaries and benefits was due to new
personnel hired to staff the new branch which opened in November 1997 and to
fill new positions created as result of bank growth. The new facility also
attributed to the increase in occupancy and equipment expenses from 1997 to
1998. Marketing expenses totaled $ 89,000 in 1998, a decrease of $ 45,000 or 34%
from 1997 due to the promotion of the new office in 1997. Professional fees
increased $ 62,000 or 221% from $ 28,000 in 1997 to $ 90,000 in 1998 as a result
of additional professional services needed for the Company's initial
registration of its stock and subsequent SEC filings.

     Other expenses increased to $ 602,000 in 1998 compared to $ 450,000 in
1997, an increase of $ 152,000 or 34%. Other expenses included in this category
include directors' fees, ATM fees, FDIC insurance premiums, examinations,
travel, telephone, dues and subscriptions, postage, training and charitable
contributions. The increase in such expense categories is primarily the result
of the Company's growth.


Provision for Federal Income Taxes

     The provision for federal income taxes was $ 219,000 for 1998 as compared
to $ 209,000 for 1997. The effective tax rate, which is the ratio of income tax
expense to income before income taxes, was 29% in 1998 and 27% in 1997. The tax
rate for both periods was less than the federal statutory rate of 34%, primarily
because of tax-exempt securities and loan income.

     In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes", income taxes are accounted for under the
liability method. Under the liability method, deferred tax assets and
liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to temporary
differences between the financial statement and tax basis of existing assets and
liabilities. At December 31, 1998, deferred tax assets amounted to $ 241,000 and
deferred tax liabilities amounted to $ 190,000. Deferred tax assets are
realizable primarily through carryback of existing temporary differences to
recover taxes paid in prior years, and through the future reversal of existing
temporary differences.


                               FINANCIAL CONDITION

     The Company's financial condition can be evaluated in terms of trends in
its sources and uses of funds. Table 3 illustrates how the Company has managed
its sources and uses of funds which are directly affected by outside economic
factors, such as interest rate fluctuations.

Loans Receivable

     Average loans receivable, net of the allowance for loan losses, increased $
17,404,000 or 30% in 1998. The increase in loans was directly attributable to
increased marketing efforts, favorable economic conditions in the Company's
market area and competitive pricing. Table 4 provides an analysis of the
Company's loan distribution at the end of each of the last two years. Consumer
loans include revolving credit plans, personal lines of credit, installment
loans and student loans. Loans which are secured by real estate include
residential and nonresidential mortgages and home equity loans to individuals.

Nonperforming Loans

     Table 6 reflects the Company's nonaccrual, past due and restructured loans
for each of the past two years. A loan is generally placed on nonaccrual when
the contractual payment of principal or interest has become 90 days past due or
management has serious doubts about further collectibility of principal or
interest, even though the loan is currently performing.

Allowance for Loan Losses

     The amount charged to operations and the related balance in the allowance
for loan losses is based upon periodic evaluations of the loan portfolio by
management. These evaluations consider several factors including, but not
limited to, current economic conditions, loan portfolio composition, prior loan
loss experience, trends in portfolio volume and management's estimation of
future potential losses. Management believes that the allowance for loan losses
is adequate. Table 8 is an analysis of the allowance for loan losses for the
past two years.

Allowance for Loan Losses (Continued)

     The specific allocations of the allowance for loan losses are based on
management's evaluation of the risks inherent in the specific portfolios for the
dates indicated. Amounts in a particular category may be used to absorb losses
if another category allocation proves to be inadequate. Table 9 reflects the
allocations of the allowance for loan losses for each of the past two years.

     Highly leveraged transactions (HLTs) generally include loans and
commitments made in connection with recapitalizations, acquisitions, and
leveraged buyouts and result in the borrower's debt-to-total assets ratio
exceeding 75%. The Bank had no loans at December 31, 1998 that qualified as
HLTs.


Securities

     The Company's securities' portfolio is classified as either "held to
maturity" or "available for sale". At December 31, 1998, all of the Company's
securities were classified as available for sale. Securities classified as held
to maturity are carried at amortized cost and include those securities that the
bank has both the intent and ability to hold to maturity. Securities classified
as available for sale, which are those securities that the bank intends to hold
for an indefinite amount of time, but not necessarily to maturity, are carried
at fair value with the unrealized holding gains or losses, net of taxes,
reported as accumulated other comprehensive income on the balance sheet.

     Average securities increased to $ 11,555,000 in 1998 from $ 10,187,000 in
1997. The increase of $ 1,368,000 or 13% was primarily due to the purchase of
U.S. Government agency obligations with proceeds from the maturity of the held
to maturity securities and deposit growth.

which include both interest and noninterest bearing demand, savings and time
deposits under $ 100,000. Core deposits increased an average of $ 12,009,000 or
20% in 1998. The largest category of core deposits and the primary source of
funds continues to be time deposits under $ 100,000. This category includes
certificates of deposit, which allow customers to invest their funds at selected
maturity ranges from fourteen days to ten years, individual retirement accounts,
and the Bank's passbook accounts. The average balance of these funds increased $
6,873,000 or 23% in 1998.

Short-term Borrowings and Long-term Debt

     Borrowed funds are utilized when timing differences occur between the
purchase of new assets and the maturity of existing assets. Management also uses
borrowed funds as an asset/liability tool to match the repricing characteristics
of certain earning assets, allowing for core funds to be used for additional
loan volume or security purchases.

     The Company maintains a U.S. Treasury tax and loan note option account for
the deposit of withholding taxes, corporate income taxes and certain other
payments to the federal government. Deposits are subject to withdrawal and are
evidenced by an open-ended interest-bearing note. Borrowings under this note
option account were $ 88,000 and $ 472,000 at December 31, 1998 and 1997
respectively, with interest payable at a variable rate (4.11% and 5.25% at
December 31, 1998 and 1997 respectively).

     The Company has an arrangement with the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) which
allows for borrowings up to a maximum percentage of qualifying assets. At
December 31, 1998, the Bank has a maximum borrowing capacity of $ 34,791,000.

     The Company has a line of credit under the "RepoPlus" Advance program with
the Federal Home Loan Bank which expires June 24, 1999 for borrowings up to $
10,000,000. Borrowings under this line of credit were $ 3,335,000 and $ -0- at
December 31, 1998 and 1997 respectively.

     Long-term debt is an advance from the Federal Home Loan Bank under a note
totaling $ 5,000,000 at a fixed rate of interest of 6.02% which matures in 1999.


Capital Requirements/Ratios

     The Company places a significant emphasis on maintaining a strong capital
base. The capital resources of the Bank consist of two major components of
regulatory capital, stockholders' equity and the allowance for loan losses. The
Bank's capital maintained steady growth during 1998.

     Current capital guidelines issued by federal regulatory authorities require
the bank to meet minimum risk-based capital ratios in an effort to make
regulatory capital more responsive to the risk exposure related to a bank's on
and off balance sheet items.

     Risk-based capital guidelines redefine the components of capital,
categorize assets into risk classes and include certain off-balance sheet items
in the calculation of capital requirements. The components of risk-based capital
are segregated as Tier I and Tier II capital. Tier I capital is composed of
total stockholders' equity reduced by goodwill and other intangible assets. Tier
II capital is comprised of the allowance for loan losses and any qualifying debt
obligations. Regulators also have adopted minimum requirements of 4% of Tier I
capital and 8% of risk-adjusted assets in total capital.

                                       25
<PAGE>
 
Capital Requirements/Ratios (Continued)

     The Company is also subject to leverage capital requirements. This
requirement compares capital (using the definition of Tier I capital) to balance
sheet assets and is intended to supplement the risk-based capital ratio in
measuring capital adequacy. The guidelines set a minimum leverage ratio of 3%
for institutions that are highly rated in terms of safety and soundness, and
which are not experiencing or anticipating any significant growth. Other
institutions are expected to maintain capital levels of at least 1% or 2% above
the minimum. As of December 31, 1998 the Company had a leverage ratio of 7.04%.

Capital Analysis

     During 1998, the Company paid cash dividends to its stockholders amounting
to $ 167,000 compared to $ 157,000 in 1997. On a per share basis, the Company
paid dividends of $ .24 in 1998 compared to $ .22 in 1997.

     On June 25, 1998, the Board of Directors declared a two-for-one stock
split in the form of a 100% stock dividend on common stock outstanding, payable
on July 31, 1998 to stockholders of record on July 17, 1998. The stock split
resulted in the issuance of 348,387 additional common shares and all per share
data has been adjusted for the effect of the stock split.

     Also, on June 25, 1998, the Company adopted a dividend reinvestment and
stock purchase plan available to stockholders who elect to reinvest their cash
dividends for the purchase of additional shares of the Company's common stock.
Participants may also elect to make voluntary cash payments not to exceed $
2,500 each quarter for the purchase of additional shares of the Company's common
stock. The common stock must be purchased in the open market through May 1999.
Subsequent to that date, it may be purchased in the open market or from
authorized but unissued shares, substantially at prevailing market prices. The
Company has reserved 225,000 shares of common stock for possible issuance under
the plan.

Capital Analysis (Continued)

     Stockholders' equity is adjusted for the effect of unrealized gains and
losses, net of tax, on securities classified as available for sale. At December
31, 1998 and 1997, stockholders' equity included $ 99,000 and $ 18,000
respectively, in unrealized gains.

     The return on average equity at December 31, 1998 was 7.90%, a decrease
from 9.17% at December 31, 1997.

Interest Rate Sensitivity and Market Risk

     The operations of the Company are subject to risk resulting from interest
rate fluctuations to the extent that there is a difference between the amount of
the Company's interest earning assets and the amount of interest bearing
liabilities that are prepaid/withdrawn, mature or reprice in specified periods.

     The principal objective of the Company's asset/liability management
activities is to provide consistently higher levels of net interest income while
maintaining acceptable levels of interest rate and liquidity risk and
facilitating the funding needs of the Company. The Company utilizes an interest
rate sensitivity model as the primary quantitative tool in measuring the amount
of interest rate risk that is present. The traditional maturity "gap" analysis,
which reflects the volume difference between interest rate sensitive assets and
liabilities during a given time period, is reviewed regularly by management. A
positive gap occurs when the amount of interest sensitive assets exceeds
interest sensitive liabilities. This position would contribute positively to net
income in a rising interest rate environment. Conversely, if the balance sheet
has more liabilities repricing than assets, the balance sheet is liability
sensitive or negatively gapped. Management continues to monitor sensitivity in
order to avoid overexposure to changing interest rates.

     Another method used by management to review its interest sensitivity
position is through "simulation". In simulation, the Company projects the future
net interest streams in light of the current gap position. Various interest rate
scenarios are used to measure levels of interest income associated with
potential changes in our operating environment. Management cannot measure levels
of interest income associated with potential changes in the Company's operating
environment. Management cannot predict the direction of interest rates or how
the mix of assets and liabilities will change. The use of this information will
help formulate strategies to minimize the unfavorable effect on net interest
income caused by interest rate changes.

Interest Rate Sensitivity and Market Risk (Continued)

     The operations of the Company do not subject it to foreign currency
exchange or commodity price risk. Also, the Company does not utilize interest
rate swaps, caps or other hedging transactions.

     The Company's overall sensitivity to interest rate risk is low due to its
non-complex balance sheet. The Bank has implemented several strategies to manage
interest rate risk which include selling most newly originated residential
mortgages, increasing the volume of variable rate commercial loans and
maintaining a short maturity in the investment portfolio.

     The following table provides information about the Company's financial
instruments that are sensitive to changes in interest rates. For securities,
loans and deposits, the table presents principal cash flows and related weighted
average interest rates by maturity dates or repricing frequency. The Company has
no market risk sensitive instruments entered into for trading purposes.

Liquidity

     Liquidity management involves meeting the funds flow requirements of
customers who may either be depositors wanting to withdraw funds, or borrowers
needing assurance that sufficient funds will be available to meet their credit
needs. Liquid assets consist of vault cash, securities and maturities of earning
assets.

     The Company's principal source of assets liquidity is the securities
portfolio. As disclosed in Note 3 of the financial statements, the carrying
value of securities maturing in less than one year equals $ 3,033,000. Other
sources of funds are principal paydowns and maturities in the loan portfolio.
The loan maturity schedule (Table 5) illustrates the maturities of commercial
loans.

     The Company also has sources of liability liquidity which include core
deposits and borrowing capacity at the Federal Home Loan Bank as previously
discussed.

     Management believes that the Company's liquidity is sufficient to meet its
anticipated needs.


Year 2000

     The Company has made, and is continuing to make, a concerted effort to
insure that all aspects of the Company's operation will not be adversely
affected by the changeover to year 2000. Senior management and the Board of
Directors of the Company have been actively involved in the planning, allocating
of resources and monitoring the progress to evaluate and implement corrective
actions to assure Y2K readiness. The Company has named the Vice President of
Operations as the Y2K Coordinator to oversee the project. A Y2K committee
comprised of members of Senior Management regularly reviews the status of Y2K
activities. The Y2K Coordinator reports to the Board of Directors on a monthly
basis.

     The Company's software systems are products provided by software vendors
and are not developed in-house. The Company has contacted and is working closely
with its vendors to ensure readiness. Early in the Y2K project, mission critical
applications were identified. These applications have all been certified as Y2K
ready. The Company has participated in a joint Y2K testing program with its
primary software vendor. All PCs have been tested for Y2K compliance. BIOS
upgrades were made to those PCs which did not pass the initial tests. ATMs were
upgraded to assure their readiness for Year 2000.

     Systems such as HVAC, security access systems, elevators, calculators, etc.
were all checked and verified for Year 2000 readiness.

     Through December 31, 1998, the Company incurred approximately $ 15,000 in
expenses related to the Year 2000. Through 1999, the Company anticipates
incurring an additional $ 4,000 in expenses.

     The Company has identified and contacted its major commercial customers
concerning the Y2K efforts of the commercial customers. Information concerning
Y2K and the Companies readiness efforts has been made available to all customers
of the Company. Employees of the Company have been informed of the Company's
efforts through articles in the Company's weekly newsletter.

     As part of the planning process, the Company is also developing contingency
plans that will provide alternative methods of doing business, should it be
necessary. The Company has in place a contract with an alternative site provider
to provide contingency processing services.

Effects of Inflation

     The majority of assets and liabilities of a financial institution are
monetary in nature, and therefore, differ greatly from most commercial and
industrial companies that have significant investments in fixed assets or
inventories. The precise impact of inflation upon the Company is difficult to
measure. Inflation may affect the borrowing needs of consumers, thereby
impacting the growth rate of the Company's assets. Inflation may also affect the
general level of interest rates, which can have a direct bearing on the Bank.

         Management believes the most significant impact on financial results is
the Company's ability to react to changes in interest rates. As discussed
previously, management is attempting to maintain an essentially balanced
position between interest sensitive assets and liabilities in order to protect
against wide interest rate fluctuations.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of operations:
     The Bank operates under a national bank charter and provides full banking
     services. As a national bank, the Bank is subject to regulation of the
     Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Federal Deposit Insurance
     Corporation. The bank holding company (Parent Company) is subject to
     regulation of the Federal Reserve Bank. The area served by the Bank is
     principally Berks County, Pennsylvania.

Principles of consolidation:
     The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
     Community Independent Bank, Inc. (the Corporation) and its wholly-owned
     subsidiary, Bernville Bank, N.A. (the Bank). All significant intercompany
     accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Estimates:
     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
     accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
     assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
     disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
     financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
     during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
     estimates.

Presentation of cash flows:
     For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and due from banks includes cash
     on hand and amounts due from banks.

Securities:
     Securities classified as available for sale are those securities that the
     Bank intends to hold for an indefinite period of time but not necessarily
     to maturity. Any decision to sell a security classified as available for
     sale would be based on various factors, including significant movement in
     interest rates, changes in maturity mix of the Bank's assets and
     liabilities, liquidity needs, regulatory capital considerations and other
     similar factors. Available for sale securities are carried at fair value.
     Unrealized gains or losses, net of tax, on available for sale securities
     are reported as a net amount in other comprehensive income. Gains and
     losses on the sale of available for sale securities are determined using
     the specific-identification method. Premiums and discounts are recognized
     in interest income using the interest method over the period to maturity.

     Bonds, notes and debentures for which the Bank has the positive intent and
     ability to hold to maturity are reported at cost, adjusted for premiums and
     discounts that are recognized in interest income using the interest method
     over the period to maturity.

     Management determines the appropriate classification of debt securities at
     the time of purchase and re-evaluates such designation as of each balance
     sheet date.

Mortgage loans held for sale:
     Mortgage loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are
     carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair value in the aggregate. All
     sales are made without recourse. Net unrealized losses, if any, are
     recognized through a valuation allowance by charges to income.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Loans receivable:
     Loans generally are stated at their outstanding unpaid principal balances
     net of an allowance for loan losses and any deferred fees or costs.
     Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance. Loan
     origination fees net of certain direct origination costs are deferred and
     recognized as an adjustment of the yield (interest income) of the related
     loans. The Bank is generally amortizing these amounts over the estimated
     life of the loan.

     A loan is generally considered impaired when it is probable the Bank will
     be unable to collect all contractual principal and interest payments due in
     accordance with the terms of the loan agreement. The accrual of interest is
     discontinued when the contractual payment of principal or interest has
     become 90 days past due or management has serious doubts about further
     collectibility of principal or interest, even though the loan is currently
     performing. A loan may remain on accrual status if it is in the process of
     collection and is either guaranteed or well secured. When a loan is placed
     on nonaccrual status, unpaid interest credited to income in the current
     year is reversed and unpaid interest accrued in prior years is charged
     against the allowance for loan losses. Interest received on nonaccrual
     loans generally is either applied against principal or reported as interest
     income, according to management's judgment as to the collectibility of
     principal. Generally, loans are restored to accrual status when the
     obligation is brought current, has performed in accordance with the
     contractual terms for a reasonable period of time and the ultimate
     collectibility of the total contractual principal and interest is no longer
     in doubt.

Allowance for loan losses:
     The allowance for loan losses is established through provisions for loan
     losses charged against income. Loans deemed to be uncollectible are charged
     against the allowance for loan losses, and subsequent recoveries, if any,
     are credited to the allowance.

     The allowance for loan losses related to impaired loans that are identified
     for evaluation is based on discounted cash flows using the loan's initial
     effective interest rate or the fair value of the collateral for certain
     collateral dependent loans. By the time a loan becomes probable of
     foreclosure, it has been charged down to fair value, less estimated costs
     to sell.

     The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level considered adequate
     to provide for losses that can be reasonably anticipated. Management's
     periodic evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance is based on the Bank's
     past loan loss experience, known and inherent risks in the portfolio,
     adverse situations that may affect the borrower's ability to repay, the
     estimated value of any underlying collateral, composition of the loan
     portfolio, current economic conditions, and other relevant factors. This
     evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires material estimates that
     may be susceptible to significant change, including the amounts and timing
     of future cash flows expected to be received on impaired loans.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Loan servicing:
     The cost of mortgage servicing rights is amortized in proportion to and
     over the period of estimated net servicing revenues. Impairment of mortgage
     servicing rights is assessed based on the fair value of those rights. Fair
     values are estimated using discounted cash flows based on a current market
     interest rate.

Bank premises and equipment:
     Bank premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated
     depreciation. Depreciation of property and equipment is computed
     principally on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of
     the related assets.

Advertising costs:
     The Bank follows the policy of charging the costs of advertising to expense
as incurred.

Income taxes:
     Deferred taxes are provided on the liability method whereby deferred tax
     assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and deferred tax
     liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary
     differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and
     liabilities and their tax basis. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a
     valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely
     than not that some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
     Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes
     in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

Off-balance sheet financial instruments:
     In the ordinary course of business, the Bank has entered into off-balance
     sheet financial instruments consisting of commitments to extend credit and
     letters of credit. Such financial instruments are recorded in the balance
     sheets when they are funded.

Earnings per share:
     Basic earnings per share represents income available to common stockholders
     divided by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the
     period. Diluted earnings per share reflects additional common shares that
     would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been
     issued as well as any adjustment to income that would result from the
     assumed issuance. Potential common shares that may be issued by the
     Corporation relate solely to outstanding stock options and are determined
     using the treasury stock method. Per share amounts have been adjusted to
     give retroactive effect to stock splits declared through December 31, 1998.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Segment reporting:
     The Bank acts as an independent community financial services provider, and
     offers traditional banking and related services to individual, business and
     government customers. Through its branch and automated teller machine
     network, the Bank offers a full array of commercial and retail financial
     services, including the taking of time, savings and demand deposits; the
     making of commercial, consumer and mortgage loans; and the providing of
     other financial services.

     Management does not separately allocate expenses, including the cost of
     funding loan demand, between the commercial and retail operations of the
     Bank. As such, discrete financial information is not available and segment
     reporting would not be meaningful.

New accounting standard:
     The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 133,
     "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", in June
     1998. The Bank is required to adopt the Statement on January 1, 2000. The
     adoption of the Statement is not expected to have a significant impact on
     the financial condition or results of operations of the Bank.

RESTRICTIONS ON CASH AND DUE FROM BANK BALANCES

The Bank is required to maintain average reserve balances with the Federal
Reserve Bank. The total of those reserve balances was approximately $ 400,000 at
December 31, 1998 and $ 150,000 at December 31, 1997.

OTHER BORROWED FUNDS AND LONG-TERM DEBT

The Bank maintains a U.S. Treasury tax and loan note option account for the
deposit of withholding taxes, corporate income taxes and certain other payments
to the federal government. Deposits are subject to withdrawal and are evidenced
by an open-ended interest-bearing note. Borrowings under this note option
account were $ 88,300 and $ 471,808 at December 31, 1998 and 1997 respectively,
with interest payable at a variable rate (4.11% and 5.25% at December 31, 1998
and 1997 respectively).

The Bank has a line of credit under the "RepoPlus" Advance program with the
Federal Home Loan Bank which expires June 24, 1999 for borrowings up to $
10,000,000. Borrowings under this line of credit were $ 3,335,000 and $ -0- at

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
REGULATORY MATTERS AND STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

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

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy
require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth below) of
total and Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted
assets, and of Tier 1 capital to average assets. Management believes, as of
December 31, 1998, that the Bank meets all capital adequacy requirements to
which it is subject.

As of December 31, 1998, the most recent notification from the Office of the
Comptroller of the Currency categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the
regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well
capitalized, the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier I risk-based
and Tier I leverage ratios as set forth in the table. There are no conditions or
events since that notification that management believes have changed the Bank's
category.

The Bank's actual capital amounts and ratios are also presented below. The
consolidated capital ratios are not materially different from the Bank's capital
ratios.

COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

The Corporation adopted SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income," as of
January 1, 1998. Accounting principles generally require that recognized
revenue, expenses, gains and losses be included in net income. Although certain
changes in assets and liabilities, such as unrealized gains and losses on
available for sale securities, are reported as a separate component of the
equity section of the balance sheet, such items, along with net income, are
components of comprehensive income. The adoption of SFAS No. 130 had no effect
on the Corporation's net income or stockholders' equity.

EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

The Bank has a 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan and Trust for its employees. Employees
are permitted to contribute up to 17% of their compensation, but not over the
statutory limit. The profit sharing plan covers employees who meet the
eligibility requirements of having worked 1,000 hours in a plan year and have
attained the age of 21. The amount of matching 401(k) contributions and profit
sharing plan contributions is at the discretion of the Bank's Board of
Directors. The expense related to this plan was $ 21,067 and $ 18,070 in 1998
and 1997 respectively.

On June 26, 1997, the Bank adopted various deferred compensation plans for
certain directors and officers of the Bank. Under the Plans' provisions,
benefits will be payable upon retirement, death or permanent disability of the
participant. At December 31, 1998 and 1997, $ 76,157 and $ 22,624 respectively
had been accrued under these contracts. To fund the benefits under these
agreements, the Bank is the owner and the beneficiary of life insurance policies
on the lives of the directors and officers. The policies had an aggregate cash
surrender value of $ 1,887,123 and $ 1,489,186 at December 31, 1998 and 1997
respectively.

EMPLOYEE BENEFITS (CONTINUED)

The Bank has an Employee Stock Option Plan that covers all officers and key
employees of the Corporation and its subsidiary and is administered by a
committee of the Board of Directors. The Plan covers 50,000 shares of common
stock. The option price for options issued under the Plan must be at least equal
to 100% of the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant.
Options granted under the Plan are exercisable over a three-year period,
commencing one year after the date of grant, on a cumulative basis. Options
expire on the earlier of ten years after the date of grant, three months from
the participants' termination of employment or one year from the date of the
participants' death or disability.

The Bank has a Non-Employee Directors' Stock Option Plan that covers 20,000
shares of common stock. The Plan covers all directors of the Corporation and its
subsidiary who are not employees. The option price for options issued under the
Plan will be equal to the fair market value of the Corporation's common stock on
the date of grant. On the fifth anniversary date of the initial option grant
date, and every five years thereafter, each non-employee director shall be
granted options to purchase 1,000 shares of common stock. Options are
exercisable one year from the date of grant and expire on the earlier of ten
years after the date of grant, three months from the date the participant ceases
to be a director of the Corporation or three months from the date of the
participants' death or disability.

The Corporation has elected to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion No.
25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" (APB 25) and related
Interpretations in accounting for its employee and director stock options. Under
APB 25, because the exercise price of the Bank's stock options equals the market
price of the underlying stock on the date of grant, no compensation expense is
recognized.

Pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per share is required by
Statement 123, and has been determined as if the Corporation had accounted for
its stock options under the fair value method of that statement. The fair value
for these options was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes
option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions for 1998
and 1997 respectively: risk-free interest rates of 4.6% and 5.3%; volatility
factors of the expected market price of the Bank's common stock of 8.2% and 0%;
expected life of the options of 7 years and a cash dividend yield of 1.84% and
2.16%.

LEASE COMMITMENTS AND TOTAL RENTAL EXPENSE

The Bank leases the premises for one branch location, a loan center and an
operations center under operating lease agreements expiring in various years
through October 2017. Certain lease agreements contain escalation provisions.
The Bank also has options to extend the lease agreements for additional lease
terms from five to thirty years. The Bank is responsible to pay all real estate
taxes, insurance, utilities and maintenance and repairs on the buildings.

Future minimum lease payments by year and in the aggregate, under noncancellable
operating leases with initial or remaining terms of one year or more, consisted
of the following at December 31, 1998:

     1999                                          $       139,006

TRANSACTIONS WITH EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS

The Bank has had banking transactions in the ordinary course of business with
its executive officers and directors and their related interests on the same
terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time
for comparable transactions with others. At December 31, 1998 and 1997, these
persons were indebted to the Bank for loans totaling $ 1,260,656 and $ 1,420,123
respectively. During 1998, $ 193,267 of new loans were made and repayments
totaled $ 352,734.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK

The Bank is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the
normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These
financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and letters of
credit. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk
in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheet.

The Bank's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other
party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and letters
of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The
Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional
obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.

A summary of the Bank's financial instrument commitments is as follows:

                                                             December 31,
                                                         1998           1997
                                                  ------------------------------

     Commitments to grant loans                   $  1,844,000   $   1,614,000
     Unfunded commitments under lines of credit      5,163,000       5,861,000
     Outstanding letters of credit                     755,000         531,000

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. Since many
of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total
commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.
Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses
and may require payment of a fee. The Bank evaluates each customer's credit
worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed
necessary by the Bank upon extension of credit, is based on management's credit
evaluation. Collateral held varies but may include personal or commercial real
estate, accounts receivable, inventory and equipment.

Outstanding letters of credit written are conditional commitments issued by the
Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. The credit
risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that
involved in extending loan facilities to customers.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

The Bank grants commercial, residential and consumer loans to customers
primarily located in Berks County, Pennsylvania. The concentrations of credit by
type of loan are set forth in Note 4. Although the Bank has a diversified loan
portfolio, its debtors' ability to honor their contracts is influenced by the
region's economy.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Management uses its best judgment in estimating the fair value of the Bank's
financial instruments; however, there are inherent weaknesses in any estimation
technique. Therefore, for substantially all financial instruments, the fair
value estimates herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Bank
could have realized in a sales transaction on the dates indicated. The estimated
fair value amounts have been measured as of their respective year ends, and have
not been reevaluated or updated for purposes of these financial statements
subsequent to those respective dates. As such, the estimated fair values of
these financial instruments subsequent to the respective reporting dates may be
different than the amounts reported at each year-end.

The following information should not be interpreted as an estimate of the fair
value of the entire Bank since a fair value calculation is only provided for a
limited portion of the Bank's assets. Due to a wide range of valuation
techniques and the degree of subjectivity used in making the estimates,
comparisons between the Bank's disclosures and those of other companies may not
be meaningful. The following methods and assumptions were used by the Bank in
estimating its fair value disclosures for financial instruments:

     Cash and due from banks, interest bearing deposits in other banks and
         federal funds sold: The carrying amounts reported approximate those
         assets' fair value.

     Securities:
         Fair values of securities are based on quoted market prices, where
         available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are
         based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments.

     Mortgage loans held for sale:
         Fair values are based on quoted market prices of similar loans sold.

     Loans receivable:
         For variable-rate loans that reprice frequently and with no significant
         change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values. The
         fair values for other loans receivable were estimated using discounted
         cash flow analysis, using interest rates currently being offered for
         loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality.

     Accrued interest receivable and payable:
         The carrying amount of accrued interest receivable and payable
         approximate their fair values.

     Deposit liabilities:
         The fair values disclosed for demand deposits (e.g., interest-bearing
         and noninterest-bearing checking, passbook, savings and certain types
         of money market accounts) are, by definition, equal to the amount
         payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying amounts).
         Fair values for fixed-rate certificates of deposit are estimated using
         a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates
         currently being offered on certificates of deposit to a schedule of
         aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED)

     Other borrowed funds:
         The current carrying amounts of other borrowed funds approximate their
         fair values.

     Long-term debt:
         The current carrying value of the debt approximates the fair value.

     Off-balance sheet instruments:
         Off-balance sheet instruments of the Bank consist of letters of credit,
         loan commitments and unfunded lines of credit. Fair values for the
         Bank's off-balance sheet instruments are based on fees currently
         charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the
         remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties' credit
         standing. Any fees charged are immaterial.

A summary of the estimated fair values of the Bank's financial instruments are
as follows:
