NOTE 1. Accounting Policies



The information contained in this report is unaudited and is subject to year-end adjustments. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform
with current period classifications. The adjustments had no effect on gross revenues, gross expenses or net income. In the opinion of management, the information reflects all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of results for the periods
ended June 30, 2005 and 2004.



The accounting policies of
Susquehanna Bancshares, Inc. and Subsidiaries, as applied in the consolidated interim financial statements presented herein, are substantially the same as those followed on an annual basis as presented on pages 62 through 70 of the Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004.



Recent Accounting
Pronouncements.



In June, 2005, the Financial
Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FAS Statement No.3. Statement No. 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods
financial statements of a voluntary change in accounting principle unless it is impracticable. Opinion 20 previously required that most voluntary changes in accounting principle be recognized by including in net income of the period of the change
the cumulative effect of changing to the new accounting principle. In addition, Statement No. 154 requires that a change in method of depreciation, amortization, or depletion for long-lived, nonfinancial assets be accounted for as a change in
accounting estimate that is effected by a change in accounting principle. Opinion 20 previously required that such a change be reported as a change in accounting principle. Statement No. 154 carries forward many provisions of Opinion 20 without
change, including the provisions related to the reporting of a change in accounting estimate, a change in reporting entity, and the correction of an error. Statement No. 154 also carries forward the provisions of Statement No. 3 that govern
reporting accounting changes in interim financial statements. Statement No. 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. Adoption of this statement is not expected to have
an effect on results of operations or financial condition.



In
April 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission approved a new rule that, for public companies, delays the effective date of FASB Statement No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (FAS 123(R). Under the SECs rule, FAS 123(R)
is now effective for public companies for annual, rather than interim, periods that begin after June 15, 2005. For most public companies the delay will eliminate the comparability issues that would have arisen from adopting FAS 123(R) in the middle
of a fiscal year as originally required. Except for this deferral of the effective date, the guidance in FAS 123(R) is unchanged.



In March 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB Staff Position No. FIN 46(R)-5, Implicit Variable Interests under FASB
Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities. The FSP gives guidance to a reporting enterprise on determining whether it holds an implicit variable interest in a variable interest entity
(VIE) or potential VIE. For entities to which Interpretation 46(R) has been applied, the FSP was to be applied in the first reporting period beginning after March 3, 2005. Application of this FSP has not had a material effect on
Susquehannas financial condition or results of operations.



In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment. Statement 123(R) requires that the compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized
in financial statements. That cost will be measured on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. Susquehanna expects to adopt this FAS on January 1, 2006, and select the Modified Prospective Application (MPA) as its
transition method. It is estimated that adoption of Statement 123(R) will reduce Susquehannas net income by approximately $536 in 2006.

NOTE 2. Acquisitions



Brandywine Benefits Corporation and Rockford Pensions, LLC



On February 1, 2005, Susquehanna acquired Brandywine Benefits Corporation
and Rockford Pensions, LLC (collectively Brandywine) located in Wilmington, Delaware. Brandywine is a financial planning, consulting and administration firm specializing in retirement benefit plans for small-to-medium-sized businesses.
Brandywine Benefits Corporation is a wholly owned subsidiary of Brandywine Benefits Corp., LLC, which in turn is a a wholly owned subsidiary of VFAM.



The acquisition of Brandywine is considered immaterial for purposes of the disclosures required by FAS No. 141.



Patriot Bank Corp.



On June 10, 2004, Susquehanna acquired 100% of the outstanding voting shares of Patriot Bank Corp., a financial services
company with total assets in excess of $1.0 billion, and the holding company for Patriot Bank. The results of Patriots operations have been included in the consolidated financial statements since that date.



Presented below is certain unaudited pro forma information for the three and
six month periods ended June 30, 2004, as if Patriot had been acquired on January 1, 2004. These results combine the historical results of Patriot, including the termination of certain employee benefit programs and costs incurred in connection with
the merger, with Susquehannas consolidated statements of income and, while certain adjustments were made for the estimated impact of purchase accounting adjustments, they are not necessarily indicative of what would have occurred had the
acquisition taken place on the indicated date.

For the three months
ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, average options to purchase 727 and 362 shares, respectively, were outstanding but were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because the options exercise prices were greater than the average market price
of the common shares; and the options were, therefore, antidilutive.

of the common shares; and the options were, therefore, antidilutive.

NOTE 7. Stock-Based Compensation



Susquehannas stock-based compensation plan is accounted for using the
intrinsic value method set forth in Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees and related Interpretations. Under APB 25, no compensation expense is recognized, as the exercise price of
Susquehannas stock options is equal to the fair market value of its common stock on the date of grant.



Pursuant to FAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, as amended by FAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation -
Transitions and Disclosure, disclosure requirements, pro forma net income, and earnings per share are presented in the following table as if compensation cost for stock options was determined under the fair value method and amortized to
expense over the options vesting periods. On March 1, 2005, options to purchase 151 shares of common stock were granted to employees and directors, with an exercise price of $24.95 per share on the date of grant; the options vested
immediately.

NOTE
10. Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities



On March 16, 2005, Susquehanna entered into a $219,836 amortizing interest rate swap. For purposes of Susquehannas consolidated financial statements, the entire $219,836 amortizing interest rate swap (the hedging instrument) is
designated as a cash flow hedge of expected future cash flows (proceeds) associated with a forecasted sale of auto leases (the hedged forecasted transaction). This transaction is subject to FAS No. 133 (as amended), Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities. At June 30, 2005, the unrealized loss, net of taxes, recorded in other comprehensive income was $1,105.



Risk Management Objective and Nature of Risk Being Hedged: Susquehannas risk management objective and strategy is to mitigate its exposure to
changes in interest rates associated with its upcoming securitization of auto leases. Susquehanna is meeting this objective by entering into a forward-starting, pay-fixed and receive-LIBOR interest rate swap. The swap is expected to be effective in
hedging the risk of changes in expected future cash flows (proceeds) associated with the forecasted sale of auto leases due to changes in the LIBOR swap rate, the designated benchmark interest rate being hedged, over the term of the hedging
relationship.



Effectiveness of the Hedging Relationship: The
critical terms of the forward-starting interest rate swap are identical to those of the forecasted transaction at inception.



Effectiveness Assessment and Measurement of Ineffectiveness: Since the critical terms of the swap and the hedged transaction match at inception, and it is
probable that the swap counterparty will not default on the swap, Susquehanna has concluded at inception that the hedging relationship is expected to be highly effective at achieving offsetting changes in cash flows. Throughout the life of the
hedging relationship, both retrospective evaluations and prospective assessments of hedge effectiveness will be based on the hypothetical derivative method. In addition, the measurement of hedge ineffectiveness will be based on the results of the
hypothetical derivative method. Under the hypothetical derivative method, the cumulative change in fair value of the actual swap will be compared to the cumulative change in fair value of a hypothetical swap. That hypothetical swap will have terms
that exactly match the critical terms of the hedged transaction. Thus, the hypothetical derivative should be expected to perfectly offset the hedged cash flows. The change in fair value of the perfect hypothetical swap will then be
regarded as a proxy for the present value of the cumulative change in expected future cash flows on the hedged transaction.



Effectiveness assessments will be performed at least quarterly. Assuming the hedging relationship qualifies as highly effective, the actual swap will then
be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value, and accumulated other comprehensive income will be adjusted to a balance that reflects the lesser of either the cumulative change in the fair value of the actual swap or the cumulative change in the
fair value of the perfect hypothetical swap. At the date of securitization, the balance in accumulated other comprehensive income will be reclassified to earnings when the associated gain on sale from securitization is recognized. At
June 30, 2005, the hedge was assessed as prospectively effective



In June 2005, Susquehanna entered into two $25,000 interest rate swaps to hedge the interest rate risk exposure on $50,000 of variable-rate debt. The risk management objective with respect to this interest rate swap is to hedge the risk of
changes in our cash flow attributable to changes in the LIBOR swap rate.

Note 11. Securitization Activity



Since 2001, Susquehanna has sold the beneficial interests in automobile
leases in securitization transactions. In all those securitizations, Susquehanna retained servicing responsibilities and subordinated interests. Susquehanna receives annual servicing fees approximating 1.0% of the outstanding balance and rights to
future cash flows arising after the investors have received the return for which they contracted. Susquehanna recognizes no servicing asset, as servicing income approximates servicing costs. Susquehanna enters into securitization transactions
primarily to achieve low-cost funding for the growth of its auto portfolio, and not primarily to maximize its ongoing servicing fee revenue. Susquehanna monitors its servicing costs to ensure that future costs do not exceed servicing income. If
servicing costs were to exceed servicing income, Susquehanna would record the present value of that liability as an expense.



The investors and the securitization trusts have no recourse to Susquehannas other assets, except retained interests, for failure of debtors to pay
when due. Susquehannas retained interests are subordinate to investors interests. Their value is subject to credit, prepayment, and interest rate risks on the transferred financial assets.



The following table presents quantitative information about delinquencies,
net credit losses, and components of lease sales serviced by Susquehanna, including securitization transactions.

Set forth below is a
summary of the fair values of the interest-only strips, key economic assumptions used to arrive at the fair values, and the sensitivity of the June 30, 2005 fair values to immediate 10% and 20% adverse changes in those assumptions. The sensitivities
are hypothetical and should be used with caution. Changes in fair value based on a 10% variation in assumptions generally cannot be extrapolated because the relationship of the change in assumption to the change in fair value may not be linear.
Also, the effect of a variation in a particular assumption on the fair value of the retained interest is calculated without changing any other assumption: in reality, changes in one factor may result in changes in another (for example, increases in
market interest rates may result in lower prepayments and increased credit losses), which might magnify or counteract the sensitivities.

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



Managements discussion and analysis of the significant changes in the consolidated results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows of
Susquehanna Bancshares, Inc. and its subsidiaries is set forth below for the periods indicated. Unless the context requires otherwise, the terms Susquehanna, we, us, and our refer to Susquehanna
Bancshares, Inc. and its subsidiaries.



Certain statements in
this document may be considered to be forward-looking statements as that term is defined in the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, such as statements that include the words expect, estimate,
project, anticipate, should, intend, probability, risk, target, objective, and similar expressions or variations on such expressions. In particular, this
document includes forward-looking statements relating, but not limited to, Susquehannas potential exposures to various types of market risks, such as interest rate risk; credit risk; whether Susquehannas allowance for loan and lease
losses is adequate to meet probable loan and lease losses; the impact of a breach by Auto Lenders Liquidation Center, Inc. (Auto Lenders) on residual loss exposure; the likelihood of an occurrence of an Early Amortization Event;
expectations regarding our branding strategy and internal realignment plans and their potential impact on our efficiency ratios and earnings; and our ability to maintain contingent vehicle liability insurance coverage in vicarious liability states
and the impact on us if we cannot. Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties. For example, certain of the market risk disclosures are dependent on choices about essential model characteristics and assumptions and are subject to
various limitations. By their nature, certain of the market risk disclosures are only estimates and could be materially different from what actually occurs in the future. As a result, actual income gains and losses could materially differ from those
that have been estimated. Other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those estimated by the forward-looking statements contained in this document include, but are not limited to:



| |  |  | adverse changes in our loan and lease portfolios and the resulting credit risk-related losses and expenses;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | interest rate fluctuations which could increase our cost of funds or decrease our yield on earning assets and therefore reduce our net interest income;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | continued levels of our loan and lease quality and origination volume;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the adequacy of the allowance for loan and lease losses;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the loss of certain key officers, which could adversely impact our business;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | continued relationships with major customers;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the inability to continue to grow our business internally and through acquisition and successful integration of bank and non-bank entities while controlling our costs;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | adverse economic and business conditions;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------



| |  |  | compliance with laws and regulatory requirements of federal and state agencies;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | competition from other financial institutions in originating loans, attracting deposits, and providing various financial services that may affect our profitability;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the inability to hedge certain risks economically;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | our ability to effectively implement technology driven products and services;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | changes in consumer confidence, spending and savings habits relative to the bank and non-bank financial services we provide; and
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | our success in managing the risks involved in the foregoing.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------

The following
discussion details the factors that contributed to these results.



(1)
Supplemental Reporting of Non-GAAP Financial Measures



Susquehanna has presented a return on average tangible equity, which is a non-GAAP financial measure and is most directly comparable to the GAAP measurement of return on average equity. For purposes of computing return on average tangible
equity, we have excluded the balance of intangible assets and their related amortization expense from our calculation of return on average tangible equity to allow us to review the core operating results of our company. This is consistent with the
treatment by bank regulatory agencies, which excludes goodwill and other intangible assets from the calculation of risk-based capital ratios. A reconciliation of return on average tangible equity to return on average equity is set forth below.

|Effect of excluding average intangible assets and related amortization |  | 5.38  | % |  | 1.67  | % |  | 4.94  | % |  | 1.64  | %
|Return on average tangible equity                                      |  | 15.39 | % |  | 12.95 | % |  | 14.13 | % |  | 13.09 | %



Susquehanna has
presented an efficiency ratio excluding Hann, which is a non-GAAP financial measure and is most directly comparable to the GAAP presentation of efficiency ratio. We measure our efficiency ratio by dividing noninterest expenses by the sum of net
interest income, on an FTE basis, and noninterest income. The presentation of an efficiency ratio excluding Hann is computed as the efficiency ratio excluding the effects of our auto leasing subsidiary, Hann. Management

believes this to be a preferred measurement because it excludes the volatility of full-term ratios, securitization
income, and residual values of Hann and provides more focused visibility into our core business activities. A reconciliation of efficiency ratio excluding Hann to efficiency ratio is set forth below.

Net Interest Income  Taxable Equivalent Basis



Our major source of operating revenues is net interest income, which
increased to $59.9 million in the second quarter of 2005, as compared to $49.4 million for the same period in 2004. For the six months ended June 30, 2005, net interest income increased to $119.3 million, as compared to $96.0 million for the same
period in 2004.



Net interest income as a percentage of net
interest income plus other income was 66.5% for the quarter ended June 30, 2005, and 64.3% for the quarter ended June 30, 2004. Net interest income as a percentage of net interest income plus other income was 67.2% for the six months ended June 30,
2005 and 63.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2004.



Net
interest income is the income that remains after deducting, from total income generated by earning assets, the interest expense attributable to the acquisition of the funds required to support earning assets. Income from earning assets includes
income from loans, investment securities, and short-term investments. The amount of interest income is dependent upon many factors including the volume of earning assets, the general level of interest rates, the dynamics of the change in interest
rates, and the levels of non-performing loans. The cost of funds varies with the amount of funds necessary to support earning assets, the rates paid to attract and hold deposits, the rates paid on borrowed funds, and the levels of
noninterest-bearing demand deposits and equity capital.



Table
1 presents average balances, taxable equivalent interest income and expense, and yields earned or paid on these assets and liabilities. For purposes of calculating taxable equivalent interest income, tax-exempt interest has been adjusted using a
marginal tax rate of 35% in order to equate the yield to that of taxable interest rates.



The $10.5 million increase in our net interest income for the second quarter of 2005, as compared to the second quarter of 2004, was primarily the result of the net contribution from interest-earning assets and
interest-bearing liabilities acquired from Patriot on June 10, 2004. In addition, since we are an asset-sensitive institution, where assets reprice more quickly than liabilities, we experienced improvement in our net interest margin due to recent
increases in interest rates. Consequently, our net interest margin for the second quarter of 2005, increased 29 basis points, to 3.81%, from 3.52% for the second quarter of 2004. The yield on average interest-earning assets increased 64 basis
points, while the cost of average interest-bearing liabilities only increased 39 basis points.



The $23.3 million increase in our net interest income for the six-month period ended June 30, 2005, as compared to the same period in 2004, was primarily the result of the net contribution from interest-earning assets
and interest-bearing liabilities acquired from Patriot on June 10, 2004. In addition, since we are an asset-sensitive institution, where assets reprice more quickly than liabilities, we experienced improvement in our net interest margin due to
recent increases in interest rates. Consequently, our net interest margin for the first six months of 2005 increased 21 basis points, to 3.76%, from 3.55% for the first six months of 2004. The yield on average interest-earning assets increased 53
basis points, while the cost of average interest-bearing liabilities only increased 32 basis points.



Variances do occur in the net interest margin, as an exact repricing of assets and liabilities is not possible. A further explanation of the impact of
asset and liability repricing is found in Item 3, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.



Provision and Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses



The provision for loan and lease losses is the expense necessary to maintain the allowance for loan and lease losses at a level adequate to absorb
managements estimate of probable losses in the loan and lease portfolio. Our provision for loan and lease losses is based upon managements quarterly review of the loan portfolio. The purpose of the review is to assess loan quality,
identify impaired loans and leases, analyze delinquencies, ascertain loan and lease growth, evaluate potential charge-offs and recoveries, and assess general economic conditions in the markets we serve.

##### Table of Contents

As illustrated in Table 2, the provision for loan and lease losses was $2.5 million for the second
quarter of 2005, and $2.1 million for the second quarter of 2004.



The provision for loan and lease losses was $5.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005, and $3.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004. This $1.4 million increase in the provision is the result of a $2.6 million increase
in net charge-offs and an offsetting net decrease in total loans outstanding since December 31, 2004, due to the securitization of $366.8 million of auto leases in March 2005.



The allowance for loan and lease losses at June 30, 2005, was 1.04% of period-end loans and leases, or $53.9 million,
compared with 1.06%, or $52.8 million, at June 30, 2004.



Determining the level of the allowance for possible loan and lease losses at any given point in time is difficult, particularly during uncertain economic periods. We must make estimates using assumptions and information that is often
subjective and changing rapidly. The review of the loan and lease portfolios is a continuing event in light of a changing economy and the dynamics of the banking and regulatory environment. In our opinion, the allowance for loan and lease losses is
adequate to meet probable loan and lease losses at June 30, 2005. There can be no assurance, however, that we will not sustain losses in future periods that could be greater than the size of the allowance at June 30, 2005.

Noninterest Income



Second Quarter 2005 Compared to Second Quarter 2004



Noninterest income, as a percentage of net interest income plus noninterest
income, was 33.5% for the second quarter of 2005, and 35.7% for the second quarter of 2004.



Noninterest income increased $2.9 million, or 10.5%, for the second quarter of 2005, over the second quarter of 2004. This net increase is composed primarily of the following:



| |  |  | Increased asset management fees of $1.0 million;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Increased commissions on property and casualty insurance sales of $0.5 million;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Increased net gains on sales of securities of $3.3 million;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Increased other income of $1.2 million;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------



| |  |  | Decreased vehicle origination, servicing, and securitization fees of $0.9 million; and
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Decreased net gains on sales of loans and leases of $2.1 million.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------



Asset management fees. As part of our strategy to increase other fee-based income, we continued to focus on enhancing the wealth management aspect
of our business. As a result, asset management fees increased 29.3%, as assets under management at VFAM increased 23.9%, to $3.8 billion at June 30, 2005, from $3.1 billion at June 30, 2004. This increase is due, in part, to our strategic
acquisitions.



Commissions on property and casualty
insurance sales.The 22.5% increase in commissions on property and casualty insurance sales is attributed primarily to new business and growth in existing business.



Net gains on sales of securities.During the second quarter of 2005, we made a determination, based upon market
conditions, the interest-rate environment, and our objective to shorten the duration of our investment portfolio, that it was an opportune time to sell certain municipal and mortgage-backed securities. Accordingly, we sold securities with a book
value of $66.4 million and recognized net gains of $3.3 million.



Other income. The 38.0% increase in other income primarily can be attributed to a $0.6 million gain on the sale of one of our branches and an $0.8 million insurance reimbursement relating to an employee defalcation in 2003.



Vehicle origination, securitization, and servicing fees.The 15.6% decrease in vehicle origination, servicing, and securitization fees was primarily due to decreased lease origination volumes at Hann. This reduction in volume has been due to special financing offers provided by the major car
manufacturers with whom Hann competes. If these special financing offers continue, Hanns production in 2005 could be significantly less than the $450.1 million originated in 2004; and this will have an adverse effect on our fee income and
earnings in 2005.



Net gains on sales of loans and
leases. Due to the timing of vehicle lease securitizations, we recognized no gains on the sale and securitization of leases in the second quarter of 2005. In the second quarter of 2004, we sold approximately $66.7 million in automobile leases
and realized a net gain of $2.0 million.



Six Months
ended June 30, 2005 Compared to Six Months ended June 30, 2004



Noninterest income, as a percentage of net interest income plus noninterest income, was 32.8% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2005, and 36.2% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2004.

Noninterest income increased $3.8 million, or 6.9%, for the six-month period ended June 30, 2005, over

acquisitions.



Commissions on property and casualty
insurance sales.The 29.8% increase in commissions on property and casualty insurance sales is attributed to new business, growth in existing business, and better than expected contingency fee income in the first quarter of 2005.



Net gains on sales of securities.During the second quarter of 2005,
we made a determination, based upon market conditions, the interest-rate environment, and our objective to shorten the duration of our investment portfolio, that it was an opportune time to sell certain municipal and mortgage-backed securities.
Accordingly, we sold securities with a book value of $66.4 million and recognized net gains of $3.3 million.



Other income. The 31.5% increase in other income primarily can be attributed to a $0.6 million gain on the sale of one of our branches during the
second quarter of 2005, and an $0.8 million insurance reimbursement, also received during the second quarter of 2005, relating to an employee defalcation in 2003.



Vehicle origination, securitization, and servicing fees.The 26.7% decrease in vehicle origination, servicing, and
securitization fees was primarily due to decreased lease origination volumes at Hann. This reduction in volume has been due to special financing offers provided by the major car manufacturers with whom Hann competes. If these special financing

Net gains on sales of loans and leases. Due to the timing of vehicle
lease securitizations, we recognized $2.9 million in net gains on the sale and securitization of leases for the six-month period ended June 30, 2005. Net gains recognized during the comparable period in 2004, were $5.2 million.



Noninterest Expenses



Second Quarter 2005 Compared to Second Quarter 2004



Noninterest expenses increased $8.7 million, or
16.9%, from $51.4 million for the second quarter of 2004, to $60.0 million for the second quarter of 2005. This net increase is composed primarily of the following:



| |  |  | Increased salaries and employee benefits of $1.5 million;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------

##### Table of Contents

| |  |  | Increased occupancy expense of $1.0 million;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Increased vehicle residual value expense of $1.3 million; and
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Increased other expenses of $4.2 million.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------



Salaries and employee benefits. The largest component of noninterest expense is salaries and employee benefits, which increased 5.8%, for the
second quarter of 2005, as compared to the second quarter of 2004. The increase in salaries and benefits was primarily the result of the Patriot acquisition, normal annual salary increases, new revenue producing positions, and higher benefit costs.
Offsetting these increases was a decline in related expenses due to our charter consolidations.



Occupancy. Charges for occupancy increased 27.3%. The increase can be attributed to the Patriot acquisition and general increases in the costs of
doing business, predominantly in the categories of rent, maintenance, and taxes.



Vehicle residual value expense. As we had anticipated, vehicle residual value expense increased for the second quarter of 2005, based upon servicing agreements with Auto Lenders. For further information
concerning Vehicle Leasing Residual Value Risk, refer to Item 3, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk, in this Form 10-Q.



Other expenses. The 27.2% increase in other expenses is directly related to the inclusion of Patriot operations for the entire second quarter of
2005. Nonrecurring charter consolidation costs incurred during the second quarter of 2005 also contributed to the increase.



Six Months ended June 30, 2005 Compared to Six Months ended June 30, 2004



Noninterest expenses increased $21.5 million, or 21.3%, from $100.7 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2004, to
$122.1 million for the comparable period in 2005. This net increase is composed primarily of the following:



| |  |  | Increased salaries and employee benefits of $6.7 million;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Increased occupancy expense of $2.2 million;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Increased vehicle residual value expense of $2.9 million; and
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Increased other expenses of $8.2 million.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------



Salaries and employee benefits. The largest component of noninterest expense is salaries and employee benefits, which increased 13.4%, for the
first six months of 2005, as compared to the first six months of 2004. The increase in salaries and benefits was primarily the result of the Patriot acquisition, normal annual salary increases, new revenue producing positions, and higher benefit
costs. Offsetting these increases was a decline in related expenses due to our charter consolidations.



Occupancy. Charges for occupancy increased 30.3%. The increase can be attributed to the Patriot acquisition and general increases in the costs of

Other expenses. The 27.2% increase in other expenses is directly related to the inclusion of
Patriot operations for the entire six-month period of 2005. Nonrecurring charter consolidation costs incurred during the second quarter of 2005 also contributed to the increase.



Income Taxes



Our effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2005, was 32.2% and 29.0% for the second quarter of 2004. The increase in the effective tax rate for 2005
was primarily related to a proportionate decline in tax-advantaged income.



Our effective tax rate for the six-month period ended June 30, 2005 was 32.0% and 29.5% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2004. The increase in the effective tax rate for 2005 was primarily related to a
proportionate decline in tax-advantaged income.



Financial
Condition



Summary of June 30, 2005 Compared to December 31, 2004



Total assets at June 30, 2005 were $7.4 billion, a
decrease of 1.4%, as compared to total assets of $7.5 billion at December 31, 2004. Equity capital was $758.9 million at June 30, 2005, or $16.25 per share, compared to $751.7 million, or $16.13 per share, at December 31, 2004.



Investment Securities



Investment securities available for sale decreased $85.7 million from
December 31, 2004, to June 30, 2005. This decrease primarily is attributable to the sale of $66.4 million of securities in the second quarter of 2005, which was discussed in the Noninterest Income section on pages 24 and 25 of
this Form 10-Q.



Loans and Leases



In March 2005, our banking subsidiaries entered into a term securitization
transaction in which they collectively sold and contributed beneficial interests in a portfolio of automobile leases and related vehicles with an aggregate total of $366.8 million. Internal growth in the loan and lease portfolio was approximately
$278.2 million. As a result, loans and leases decreased $88.6 million, net, from December 31, 2004, to June 30, 2005



Risk Assets



Table 3 shows a decrease in non-accrual loans and leases, from $20.4 million at December 31, 2004, to $16.5 million at June 30, 2005. Loans and leases
past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest decreased from $10.2 million at December 31, 2004, to $9.7 million at June 30, 2005. The percentage of non-performing assets to period-end loans and leases plus other real estate owned also
decreased, from 0.41% at December 31, 2004, to 0.36% at June 30, 2005. The percentage of loan and lease loss reserves to non-performing loans and leases (coverage ratio) was 326.5% at June 30, 2005, and 265.1% at December 31, 2004.



Goodwill and Other Identifiable Intangible Assets



As a result of the Brandywine acquisition in February 2005, we recognized
goodwill of $1.9 million and a customer list intangible of $1.3 million. Furthermore, in the second quarter of 2005, we recorded additional goodwill of $0.2 million as a result of a contingent earnings agreement related to the Patriot acquisition.

Investment in and Receivables from Unconsolidated Entities



Concurrent with the lease-securitization transaction in March
2005, our banking subsidiaries recorded investments in and receivables from unconsolidated entities of $49.1 million. This amount represents receivables from the unconsolidated qualified special purpose entities that were established to transact the
securitization, which resulted in a $2.9 million gain on sale of leases.

$50.0 million, from December 31, 2004, to June 30, 2005. The decrease was the result of our repayment, at maturity on February 1, 2005, of $50.0 million aggregate principal amount of 9.0% subordinated notes.



Capital Adequacy



Capital elements are segmented into two tiers. Tier 1 capital represents shareholders equity plus junior subordinated
debentures, reduced by excludable intangibles. Tier 2 capital represents certain allowable long-term debt, the portion of the allowance for loan and lease losses limited to 1.25% of risk-adjusted assets, and 45% of the unrealized gain on equity
securities. The sum of Tier 1 capital and Tier 2 capital is total risk-based capital.



The minimum Tier 1 capital ratio is 4%; our ratio at June 30, 2005, was 8.24%. The minimum total capital (Tiers 1and 2) ratio is 8%; our ratio at June 30,
2005, was 11.37%. The minimum leverage ratio is 4%; our leverage ratio at June 30, 2005, was 7.60%. We and each of our bank subsidiaries have leverage and risk-weighted ratios well in excess of regulatory minimums, and each entity is considered
well capitalized under regulatory guidelines.



Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.



The types of market risk exposures generally faced by banking entities include equity market price risk, liquidity risk, interest rate risk, foreign
currency risk, and commodity price risk.



Due to the nature of
our operations, foreign currency and commodity price risk are not significant to us. However, in addition to general banking risks, we have other risks that are related to vehicle leasing, asset securitizations, and off-balance sheet financing that
are also discussed below.



Equity Market Price Risk



Equity market price risk is the risk related to market fluctuations of
equity prices in the securities markets. While we do not have significant risk in our investment portfolio, market price fluctuations may affect fee income generated through our asset management operations. Generally, our fee structure is based on
the market value of assets being managed at specific time frames. If market values decline, our fee income may also decline.



Liquidity Risk



The maintenance of adequate liquidity  the ability to meet the cash requirements of our customers and other financial commitments  is a
fundamental aspect of our asset/liability management strategy. Our policy of diversifying our funding sources  purchased funds, repurchase agreements, and deposit accounts  allows us to avoid undue concentration in any single financial
market and also to avoid heavy funding requirements within short periods of time. At June 30, 2005, our bank subsidiaries had approximately $523.0 million available to them under collateralized lines of credit with various FHLBs; and approximately
$323.2 million more was available provided that additional collateral would have been pledged.

Liquidity is not entirely dependent on increasing our liability balances. Liquidity is also evaluated by
taking into consideration maturing or readily marketable assets. Unrestricted short-term investments totaled $30.2 million at June 30, 2005, and represented additional sources of liquidity.



Interest Rate Risk



The management of interest rate risk focuses on controlling the risk to net interest income and the associated net interest
margin as the result of changing market rates and spreads. Interest rate sensitivity is the matching or mismatching of the repricing and rate structure of the interest-bearing assets and liabilities. Our goal is to control risk exposure to changing
rates within managements accepted guidelines to maintain an acceptable level of risk exposure in support of consistent earnings.



We employ a variety of methods to monitor interest rate risk. These methods include basic gap analysis, which points to directional exposure; routine rate
shocks simulation; and evaluation of the change in economic value of equity. Board directed guidelines have been adopted for both the rate shock simulations and economic value of equity exposure limits. By dividing the assets and liabilities into
three groups, fixed rate, floating rate and those which reprice only at our discretion, strategies are developed to control the exposure to interest rate fluctuations.



Our policy, as approved by our Board of Directors, is designed so that we experience no more than a 15% decline in net
interest income and no more than a 30% decline in the economic value of equity for a 300 basis point shock (immediate change) in interest rates. The assumptions used for the interest rate shock analysis are reviewed and updated at least quarterly.
Based upon the most recent interest rate shock analysis, we were within the Boards approved guidelines at a down 300 basis point shock and an up 300 basis point shock. Positive rate scenarios are considered more likely, as we and most
economists believe that the Federal Reserve will continue to increase short-term interest rates throughout the remainder of 2005, putting upward pressure on the long-term interest rates, as well.



At June 30, 2005, we were an asset-sensitive institution and should benefit
from a continued rise in interest rates in 2005, if that should occur.



Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities



On March 16, 2005, we entered into a $219.8 million amortizing interest rate swap. For purposes of Susquehannas consolidated financial statements, the entire $219.8 million amortizing interest rate swap (the
hedging instrument) is designated as a cash flow hedge of expected future cash flows (proceeds) associated with a forecasted sale of auto leases (the hedged forecasted transaction). This transaction is subject to FAS No. 133 (as amended),
Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. At June 30, 2005, the unrealized loss, net of taxes, recorded in other comprehensive income was $1.1 million.



Risk Management Objective and Nature of Risk Being Hedged: Our risk management objective and strategy is to mitigate our
exposure to changes in interest rates associated with our upcoming securitization of auto leases. We are meeting this objective by entering into a forward-starting, pay-fixed and receive-LIBOR interest rate swap. The swap is expected to be effective
in hedging the risk of changes in expected future cash flows associated with the forecasted sale of auto leases due to changes in the LIBOR swap rate, the designated interest rate being hedged, over the term of the hedging relationship.



Effectiveness of the Hedging Relationship: The critical terms of the
forward-starting interest rate swap are identical to those of the forecasted transaction at inception and are summarized as follows:



| |  |  | The amortizing notional amount of the swap matches the aggregate amortizing principal amount being hedged of the auto leases expected to be securitized;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The fair value of the swap at the inception of the hedging relationship was zero;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------



29



---

##### Table of Contents

| |  |  | The formula for computing net settlements under the swap is the same for each net settlement;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The index on which the variable leg of the swap is based matched the benchmark interest rate (LIBOR) designated as the risk being hedged for this hedging relationship;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | All other terms of the interest rate swap and the auto leases expected to be securitized are typical of those instruments;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The effective date of the swap matches the expected date of securitization (February 1, 2006);
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | There is no floor or cap on the swap or the auto leases expected to be securitized;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Based upon our current assessment, the likelihood of the swap counterparty not defaulting is probable; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Based upon our current assessment, it is probable that the forecasted sale of auto leases will occur within the time period specified and in an amount at least equal to the
corresponding notional amount of the swap.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Effectiveness Assessment and Measurement of Ineffectiveness: Since the critical terms of the swap and the hedged transaction match at inception, and it is probable that the swap counterparty will not default on the swap, we have concluded
at inception that the hedging relationship is expected to be highly effective at achieving offsetting changes in cash flows. Throughout the life of the hedging relationship, both retrospective evaluations and prospective assessments of hedge
effectiveness will be based on the hypothetical derivative method. In addition, the measurement of hedge ineffectiveness will be based on the results of the hypothetical derivative method. Under the hypothetical derivative method, the cumulative
change in fair value of the actual swap will be compared to the cumulative change in fair value of a hypothetical swap. That hypothetical swap will have terms that exactly match the critical terms of the hedged transaction. Thus, the hypothetical
derivative should be expected to perfectly offset the hedged cash flows. The change in fair value of the perfect hypothetical swap will then be regarded as a proxy for the present value of the cumulative change in expected future cash
flows on the hedged transaction.



Effectiveness assessments
will be performed at least quarterly. Assuming the hedging relationship qualifies as highly effective, the actual swap will then be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value, and accumulated other comprehensive income will be adjusted to a balance
that reflects the lesser of either the cumulative change in the fair value of the actual swap or the cumulative change in the fair value of the perfect hypothetical swap. At the date of securitization, the balance in accumulated other
comprehensive income will be reclassified to earnings when the associated gain on sale from securitization is recognized. At June 30, 2005, the hedge was assessed as prospectively effective.



In June 2005, we entered into two $25.0 million interest rate swaps to hedge
the interest rate risk exposure on $50.0 million of our variable-rate debt. Our risk management objective with respect to this interest rate swap is to hedge the risk of changes in our cash flows attributable to changes in the LIBOR swap rate.



The following table summarizes our derivative financial
instruments at June 30, 2005:

Vehicle Leasing Residual Value Risk



In an effort to manage the vehicle residual value risk arising from the auto leasing business of Hann and our affiliate
banks, Hann and the banks have entered into arrangements with Auto Lenders Liquidation Center, Inc. (Auto Lenders) pursuant to which Hann or a bank, as applicable, effectively transferred to Auto Lenders all residual value risk of its
respective auto lease portfolio, and all residual value risk on any new leases originated over the term of the applicable agreement. Auto Lenders, which was formed in 1990, is a used-vehicle remarketer with four retail locations in New Jersey and
has access to various wholesale facilities throughout the country. Under these arrangements, Auto Lenders agrees to purchase the beneficial interest in all vehicles returned by the obligors at the scheduled expiration of the related leases for a
purchase price equal to the stated residual value of such vehicles. Stated residual values of new leases are set in accordance with the standards approved in advance by Auto Lenders. Under a servicing agreement with Auto Lenders, Hann also agrees to
make monthly guaranty payments to Auto Lenders based upon a negotiated schedule covering a three-year period. At the end of each year, the servicing agreement may be renewed by the mutual agreement of the parties for an additional one-year term,
beyond the current three-year term, subject to renegotiation of the payments for the additional year. During the renewal process, we periodically obtain competitive quotes from third parties to determine the best remarketing and/or residual
guarantee alternatives for Hann and our bank affiliates.



Securitizations
and Off-Balance Sheet Vehicle Lease Financings



As of June
30, 2005 and 2004, Hanns managed portfolio was comprised of the following:

All of our securitizations and off-balance sheet financings primarily are done to fund the assets originated by the Origination Trust and in some cases,
to enable us to more efficiently utilize required regulatory capital.



Securitization Transactions



As of June 30,
2005, the aggregate fair value of all receivables representing the present value of excess cash flows (each, a PV Receivable) in connection with securitizations was $6.2 million. For a description of the accounting policies for measuring
the PV Receivables, the characteristics of the securitization transactions, including the gain or loss from sale, and the key assumptions used in measuring the fair value of the PV Receivables, see Note 1  Summary of Significant
Accounting Policies under the captions Asset Securitizations and Recorded Interests in Securitized Assets to the financial statements appearing in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004, and
Note 11  Securitization Activity to the financial statements appearing in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.



Summary of Recent Securitization Transactions



In March 2005, each of our wholly owned commercial and retail banking subsidiaries (each, a Sponsor Subsidiary) entered into a term
securitization transaction (the 2005 transaction). In connection with the 2005



31

##### Table of Contents

transaction, each Sponsor Subsidiary sold and contributed the beneficial interest in a portfolio of automobile leases and
related vehicles to a separate wholly owned QSPE (each QSPE a Transferor and, collectively the Transferors). Collectively, the Sponsor Subsidiaries sold and contributed the beneficial interest in $366.8 million in automobile
leases and related vehicles to the Transferors. However, the transaction documents for the 2005 transaction provide, among other things, that any assets that failed to meet the eligibility requirements when transferred by the applicable Sponsor
Subsidiary must be repurchased by such Sponsor Subsidiary. Each Transferor sold and contributed the portfolio acquired from the related Sponsor Subsidiary to a newly formed statutory trust (the Issuer). The equity interests of the Issuer
are owned pro rata by the Transferors (based on the value of the portfolio conveyed by each Transferor to the Issuer). The Transferors financed the purchases of the beneficial interests from the Sponsor Subsidiaries primarily through the issuance by
the Issuer of $329.4 million of fixed-rate asset-backed notes to third-party investors. The Issuer also issued $11.1 million of notes, which will be retained pro rata by the Transferors in the same ratio as the Transferors retain the equity
interests of the Issuer.



The initial recorded PV Receivable
for this transaction was $2.3 million, and the fair value of this PV Receivable at June 30, 2005, was $1.8 million.



Summary of Prior Years Securitization Transactions



Late in the third quarter of 2004, Hann entered into a revolving securitization transaction (the 2004
transaction). In connection with this transaction, Hann sells and contributes beneficial interests in automobile leases and related vehicles to a wholly owned QSPE. From time to time, the QSPE may purchase the beneficial interests in
additional automobile leases and related vehicles from Hann. Transfers to the QSPE are accounted for as sales under the guidelines of FAS No. 140. The QSPE finances the purchases by borrowing funds in an amount up to $200.0 million from a
non-related, asset-backed commercial paper issuer (the lender). There were no transfers made to the QSPE during the second quarter of 2005. During the first six months of 2005, Hann made transfers to the QSPE of beneficial interests in
$5.7 million in automobile leases and related vehicles. Neither Hann nor Susquehanna provides recourse for credit losses. However, the QSPEs obligation to pay Hann the servicing fee each month is subordinate to the QSPEs obligation to
pay interest, principal and fees due on the loans. Therefore, if the QSPE suffers credit losses on its assets, it may have insufficient funds to pay the servicing fee to Hann. Additionally, if an early amortization event were to occur under the
QSPEs loan agreement, Hann, as servicer, would not receive payments of the servicing fee until all interest, principal and fees due on the loans have been paid (although the servicing fee will continue to accrue).



In connection with the transaction, Susquehanna has entered into a back-up
servicing agreement pursuant to which it has agreed to service the automobile leases and related vehicles beneficially owned by the QSPE if Hann is terminated as servicer. If Susquehanna were appointed servicer, it would receive a servicing fee each
month.



The debt issued in the revolving securitization
transaction bears a floating rate of interest. In this transaction, the QSPE is required to obtain an interest rate hedge agreement if the weighted-average fixed interest rate of its assets is less than a targeted portfolio yield calculated monthly
and if the funds on deposit in a yield supplement account established by the QSPE are less than a targeted amount. Neither Hann nor Susquehanna has any obligation to obtain such a hedge agreement for the QSPE, but the failure of the QSPE to obtain
the required hedge agreement could be an event of default under its loan documents.



The transaction documents for the revolving transaction contain several requirements, obligations, liabilities, provisions and consequences, including events of default, which become applicable upon, among other
conditions, the failure of the sold portfolio to meet certain performance tests. That transaction also provides that any assets that fail to meet the eligibility requirements set forth in that transaction must be repurchased by Hann and reallocated
to Hanns beneficial interest in the Origination Trust.



The fair value of this PV Receivable at June 30, 2005 was $0.5 million.



In July 2003, Hann entered into a term securitization transaction (the 2003 transaction). In this transaction, Hann sold and contributed the beneficial interest in $239.5 million in automobile leases and
related vehicles to a wholly owned QSPE. The QSPE financed the purchase of the beneficial interest primarily by issuing $233.0 million of asset-backed notes.

##### Table of Contents

The initial recorded PV Receivable for this transaction was $12.0 million, and the fair value of this PV
Receivable at June 30, 2005 was $2.1 million.



During the third
quarter of 2002, Hann entered into a revolving securitization transaction and sold and contributed beneficial interests in automobile leases and related vehicles to a wholly owned QSPE. From time to time, the QSPE may purchase the beneficial
interests in additional automobile leases and related vehicles from Hann. Transfers to the QSPE are accounted for as sales under the guidelines of FAS No. 140. The QSPE finances the purchases by borrowing funds in an amount up to $250.0 million from
a non-related, asset-backed commercial paper issuer (a lender); however, the lender is not committed to make loans to the QSPE. Neither Hann nor Susquehanna provides recourse for credit losses. However, the QSPEs obligation to pay
Hann the servicing fee each month is subordinate to the QSPEs obligation to pay interest, principal and fees due on the loans. Therefore, if the QSPE suffers credit losses on its assets, it may have insufficient funds to pay the servicing fee
to Hann. Additionally, if an early amortization event were to occur under the QSPEs loan agreement, Hann, as servicer, will not receive payments of the servicing fee until all interest, principal and fees due on the loans have been paid
(although the servicing fee will continue to accrue).



The debt
issued in the revolving securitization transaction bears a floating rate of interest. In this transaction, the QSPE is required to obtain an interest rate hedge agreement if the weighted average fixed interest rate of its assets is less than a
targeted portfolio yield calculated monthly. Neither Hann nor Susquehanna has any obligation to obtain such a hedge agreement for the QSPE, but the failure of the QSPE to obtain a required hedge agreement would be an event of default under its loan
documents.



The transaction documents for the revolving
securitization transaction contain several requirements, obligations, liabilities, provisions and consequences, including events of default, which become applicable upon, among other conditions, the failure of the sold portfolio to meet certain
performance tests. That transaction also provides that any assets that fail to meet the eligibility requirements set forth in that transaction must be repurchased by Hann and reallocated to Hanns beneficial interest in the Origination Trust.



The fair value of this PV Receivable at June 30, 2005 was $1.8
million.



In June 2004, Hann issued a cleanup call to purchase
the remaining balance of a 2001 transaction. A cleanup call is issued when the amount of outstanding assets falls to a specified level at which the cost of servicing those assets becomes burdensome. As a result, Hann acquired $4.5 million in auto
leases.



Agency Agreements and Lease Sales



Agency arrangements and lease sales generally occur on economic terms
similar to vehicle lease terms and generally result in no accounting gains or losses to Hann and no retention of credit, residual value, or interest rate risk with respect to the sold assets. Agency arrangements involve the origination and servicing
by Hann of automobile leases for other financial institutions, and lease sales involve the sale of previously originated leases (with servicing retained) to other financial institutions. Hann generally is entitled to receive all of the
administrative fees collected from obligors, a servicing fee and, in the case of agency arrangements, an origination fee per lease. Lease sales are generally accounted for as sales under FAS 140.



During the second quarter of 2002, Hann entered into an agency arrangement.
In connection with that arrangement, we entered into an agreement under which we guarantee Auto Lenders performance of its obligations to the new agency client (the Residual Interest Agreement). Auto Lenders has agreed to purchase
leased vehicles in the agency clients portfolio at the termination of the leases for the full residual value of those vehicles. In the event the agency client incurs any losses, costs or expenses as a result of any failure of Auto Lenders to
perform this purchase obligation, we will compensate the agency client for any final liquidation losses with respect to such leased vehicle. However, our liability is limited to 12% of the maximum aggregate residual value of all leases purchased by
the agency client. At June 30, 2005, the total residual value of the vehicles in the portfolio for this transaction was $51.1 million, and our maximum obligation under the Residual Interest Agreement was $6.1 million.

Sale-leaseback Transactions



In December 2000, Hann sold and contributed the beneficial interest in $190 million of automobiles and related auto leases
owned by the Origination Trust to a wholly owned special purpose subsidiary (the Lessee). The Lessee sold such beneficial interests to a lessor (the Lessor), and the Lessor in turn leased the beneficial interests in the
automobiles and auto leases back to the Lessee under a Master Lease Agreement that has an eight-year term. For accounting purposes, the sale-leaseback transaction between the Lessee and the Lessor is treated as a sale and an operating lease and
qualifies as a sale and leaseback under FAS No. 13. The Lessor held the beneficial interest in vehicles and auto leases with a remaining balance of approximately $103.5 million at June 30, 2005. To support its obligations under the Master Lease
Agreement, at closing the Lessee pledged the beneficial interest in an additional $43.0 million of automobile leases and related vehicles, which were also sold or contributed to the Lessee. At June 30, 2005, the beneficial interest in additional
automobile leases and related vehicles pledged by the Lessee was $48.1 million.



Servicing Fees under the Securitization Transactions, the Sale-Leaseback Transaction, Agency Agreements, and Lease Sales



Servicing assets are recognized as separate assets when rights are acquired through the sale of financial assets. The servicing fees paid to Hann under
the securitization transactions, the sale-leaseback transaction, agency agreements, and lease sales approximate current market value and Hanns servicing costs. Consequently, Hann records no servicing asset or liability with regard to those
transactions because its expected servicing costs are approximately equal to its expected servicing income. We enter into securitization transactions primarily to achieve low-cost funding for the growth of our auto lease portfolio, and not primarily
to maximize our ongoing servicing fee revenue. In the future, if servicing costs were to exceed servicing income, Hann would record the present value of that liability as an expense; if servicing income were to exceed servicing costs, Hann would
record the present value of that asset as income.



Our policy
regarding the impairment of servicing assets is to evaluate the assets based upon the fair value of the rights as compared to amortized cost. Impairment is determined by stratifying rights by predominant characteristics which affect their current
value, such as interest rates and terms. Fair value is determined using prices for similar assets with similar characteristics, when available, or based upon discounted cash flows using market-based assumptions. Impairment is recognized through a
valuation allowance for an individual stratum, to the extent that fair value is less than the capitalized amount for the stratum. For the reasons discussed above, we presently have no recorded servicing rights, and therefore, no associated
impairment allowance.



Summary of Susquehannas Potential Exposure
under Off-Balance Sheet Vehicle Lease Financings as of June 30, 2005.



Sale-Leaseback Transaction



Under the existing sale-leaseback transaction, we guarantee certain obligations of the Lessee, which is a wholly owned special purpose subsidiary of Hann. If we fail to maintain our investment-grade senior unsecured
long-term debt ratings, then we must obtain a $35.0 million letter of credit from an eligible financial institution for the benefit of the equity participants in the transaction to secure our obligations under the guarantee. We also have obtained
from a third party an $8.0 million letter of credit for the benefit of an equity participant if we fail to make payments under the guarantee.

Additionally, as discussed above, the transaction documents contain several requirements, obligations,
liabilities, provisions, and consequences that become applicable upon the occurrence of an Early Amortization Event, as described above. The precise amount of the termination and other related payments is subject to a great deal of variability and
depends significantly on future interest rates, the sales proceeds for the respective vehicles, the termination dates at which consumer leases terminate, and the length of the remaining term of the Master Lease Agreement at the time of the Early
Amortization Event. It is virtually impossible to calculate the amount of the termination payments. Even if an Early Amortization Event were to occur, we would expect that the present value of these payments would not exceed the present value of the
rent avoided and tax benefits gained by a material amount. We believe that the occurrence of any Early Amortization Event is remote.



At the end of the lease term under the Master Lease Agreement, the Lessee has agreed to act as a remarketing agent for the Lessor if the Lessor decides to
sell the beneficial interest in the leases and related vehicles. The Lessee has agreed that if the aggregate net proceeds of such sale are less then the Lease End Value of the beneficial interest in the leases and related vehicles at that time, the
Lessee will pay to the Lessor the excess, if any, of the Lease End Value over the aggregate net proceeds of such sale. If the leases and related vehicles were to be worthless at such time, the maximum exposure to Susquehanna and its subsidiaries
under these provisions would be $38 million.



Agency
Agreements and Lease Sales



Under the agency
arrangements, our maximum obligation under the Residual Interest Agreement at June 30, 2005 was $6.1 million.



Miscellaneous



Additionally, we are required to maintain contingent vehicle liability insurance coverage with regard to most of these transactions. This same coverage is
also maintained on vehicles within our own portfolio. Because a majority of the vehicles are leased in the State of New York, a vicarious liability state, the ability to maintain our coverage or the premium cost could potentially have a negative
impact on us. The basic coverage policy is renewable annually and expires in 2006.

|--- | ------------------------------------------------



Susquehannas management, with the participation of Susquehannas Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the
effectiveness of Susquehannas disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and
procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report have been designed and are functioning effectively to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commissions rules and forms. Susquehanna believes that a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot
provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the control system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.



|(b) | Change in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
|--- | ---------------------------------------------------



No change in Susquehannas internal control over financial reporting occurred during Susquehannas most recent fiscal quarter that has
materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, Susquehannas internal control over financial reporting.
