NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
March 31, 2003

NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
PennRock Financial Services Corp. and its subsidiaries. All material
intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The information contained in the financial statements is unaudited. In the
opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results of
interim periods have been made. Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements.
Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2003 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended
December 31, 2003.

The accounting policies of PennRock Financial Services Corp. and
Subsidiaries, as applied in the consolidated interim financial statements
presented, are substantially the same as those followed on an annual basis as
presented in the 2002 Annual Report to shareholders.

NOTE 2. BUSINESS

PennRock is a bank holding company incorporated in 1986 under the laws of
Pennsylvania. Blue Ball National Bank ("the Bank"), The National Advisory
Group, Inc. ("National") and Pension Consulting Services, Inc. ("PCS") are
wholly owned subsidiaries of PennRock. The Bank provides a broad range of
banking, trust and other financial services to consumers, small businesses
and corporations in south-central and southeastern Pennsylvania. PennRock
Insurance Group, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Bank, began
operations in the first quarter of 1999 to offer and sell annuity and other
insurance products. National, established in 1984, is the parent company of
four corporations: National Actuarial Consultants, Ltd. which provides
consulting, actuarial and administrative services to retirement and employee
benefit plans; National Financial Advisors, Inc. which offers investment,
advisory and asset management services to retirement plan sponsors and
participants, and serves as an investment advisor to the Dresher Family of
Funds; NFA Brokerage Services, Inc. which is a mutual-funds-only broker-
dealer; and National Shareholder Services, Inc. which provides transfer
agency services for the Dresher Family of Funds. The Dresher Family of Funds
is an open-end diversified management investment company (mutual fund) that
consists of three portfolios: The Dresher Comprehensive Growth Fund, The
Dresher Classic Retirement Fund and The Dresher Income Fund.

NOTE 3. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

The financial statements do not reflect various commitments and contingent
liabilities, such as commitments to extend credit, letters of credit,
guarantees, and liability for assets held in Trust, which arise in the normal
course of business. Commitments under outstanding letters of credit amounted
to $50.1 million and commitments to extend credit totaled $122.0 million at
March 31, 2003. Management does not anticipate any significant loss as a
result of these transactions.

NOTE 4. STOCK DIVIDEND

All share and per share amounts in the accompanying financial statements have
been restated for a 10% stock dividend paid on August 13, 2002.

NOTE 5. STOCK-BASED EMPLOYEE COMPENSATON

In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation - Transition and Disclosure - an Amendment of FASB Statement
No. 123." This statement amends SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation," to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary
change from the intrinsic value method to the fair value method of accounting
for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, this statement amends
the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 to require prominent disclosures
in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of
accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the
method on reported results.

SFAS No. 148 has also amended APB Opinion 28, "Interim Financial Reporting"
to require that public companies provide a tabular presentation similar to
that called for in annual statements in condensed quarterly statements if,
for any period presented, the intrinsic value method is used. PennRock
adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 148 in December 2002 but will continue
to account for stock-based employee compensation under the intrinsic value
method in accordance with APB 25.

The fair value of each option is estimated on the date of grant using
the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. There were no options granted
during the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002. Therefore,
there was no stock-based employee compensation expense incurred.


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

This section presents management's discussion and analysis of the financial
condition and results of operations of PennRock Financial Services Corp. and
its subsidiaries. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the
financial statements which appear elsewhere in this report.

Forward Looking Statements

In this report, we may have included certain forward looking statements
relating to such matters as anticipated financial performance, business
prospects, technological developments, new products and similar matters. The
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe harbor for
forward looking statements. In order to comply with the terms of the safe
harbor, we must inform you that a variety of factors could cause the
Company's actual results and experiences to differ materially from the
anticipated results or other expectations expressed in these forward looking
statements. Our ability to predict the results or the effect of future plans
and strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors that could affect future
results include changes in market interest rates, local and national economic
trends and conditions, competition for products and services, changes in
customer preferences, legislative and regulatory changes, delinquency rates
on loans, changes in accounting principles, policies or guidelines, or the
failure of major customers, vendors or suppliers. You should consider these
factors in evaluating any forward looking statements and not place undue
reliance on such statements. We are not obligated to publicly update any
forward looking statements we may make in this report to reflect the impact
of subsequent events.

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Total assets of PennRock increased $1.9 million or 0.2% since the end of 2002
and by $50.6 million or 5.3% over March 31, 2002. Securities available for
sale decreased $4.8 million from year end 2002 and by $3.0 from the first
quarter of last year. Loans grew $7.6 million from year-end 2002 and by
$40.6 million from last year. Deposits decreased $12.3 million from year end
2002 and increased by $32.2 million from last year while borrowed funds
increased $12.5 million from year-end and by $8.4 million from last year.

Net income for the quarter was $3.6 million or $.52 per share compared with
$3.3 million or $.48 per share for the first quarter of 2002, an increase of
$250,000 or 7.5%. Interest income declined by $1.3 million from the first
quarter of 2002, which was offset by a decline in funding costs as interest
expense also dropped $1.3 million. Non-interest income grew $870,000. Non-
interest expenses increased $560,000. The return on average assets was 1.46%
for the first quarter of 2003 compared with 1.42% in 2002. The return on
average equity was 16.44% this quarter and 17.03% last year.

Dividends declared for the quarter totaled $1.4 million or $.20 per share.
This represented 38.4% of net income. Dividends declared during the first
quarter of last year were $1.3 million or $.19 per share.


NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income is the product of the volume of average earning assets
and the average rates earned on them, less the volume of average interest
bearing liabilities and the average rates paid on them. The amount of net
interest income is affected by changes in interest rates, volumes and the mix
of earning assets and paying liabilities. For analytical purposes, net
interest income is adjusted to a taxable equivalent basis. This adjustment
allows for a more accurate comparison among taxable and tax-exempt assets by
increasing tax-exempt income by an amount equivalent to the federal income
tax which would have been paid if this income were taxable at the statutory
rate of 35% in 2003 and 34% in 2002.

Table 1 presents net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis for
the first quarters of 2003 and 2002. For the first quarter of 2003, net
interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis totaled $9.0 million, a
decrease of $125,000 or 1.4% from $9.1 million earned for the same period of
2002.

Table 2 presents the average balances, taxable equivalent interest income and
expense and rates for PennRock's assets and liabilities for the three months
ended March 31, 2003 and 2002. For the first quarter of 2003 compared with
the first quarter of 2002, interest income decreased as a result of a decline
in the yield on earning assets which decreased from 7.09% last year to
6.15%. Interest expense also decreased due a decline in the cost of funds
which decreased from 3.26% last year to 2.50% this year. Both the net
interest margin and interest rate spread decreased during the first quarter
of 2003 compared with last year.

PROVISION AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

The provision for loan losses charged to earnings was $450,000 for the first
quarter of 2003 and $444,000 in 2002. Net credit losses totaled $304,000
for the first quarter of 2003 and $138,000 for the first quarter of 2002.
We review the adequacy of the allowance in light of past loan loss
experience, current market conditions, size and characteristics of the loan
portfolio, volume of non-performing and delinquent loans and other relevant
information.

NON-PERFORMING ASSETS

Table 4 reflects PennRock's non-performing assets at March 31, 2003, December
31, 2002 and March 31, 2002. PennRock's policy is to discontinue the accrual
of interest on loans for which the principal or interest is past due 90 days
or more unless the loan is well secured and corrective action has begun or
the loan is in the process of collection. When a loan is placed on non-
accrual status, any unpaid interest is charged against income. Other real
estate owned represents property acquired through foreclosure.

LIQUIDITY

The purpose of liquidity management is to ensure that there are sufficient
cash flows available to meet a variety of needs. These include financial
commitments such as satisfying the credit needs of our borrowers and
withdrawals by our depositors, the ability to capitalize on investment and
business opportunities as they occur, and the funding of PennRock's own
operations. Liquidity is provided by maturities and sales of investment
securities, loan payments and maturities and liquidating money market
investments such as federal funds sold. Liquidity is also provided by short-
term lines of credit with various correspondents and fixed and variable rate
advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh and other
correspondent banks. However, PennRock's primary source of liquidity lies in
PennRock's ability to renew, replace and expand its base of core deposits
(consisting of demand, NOW, money market, savings, and time deposits of less
than $100,000).

Total deposits decreased $12.3 million or 1.7% since year end and increased
by $32.2 million or 4.6% from last year. Total borrowed funds increased
$12.5 million since year end and by $8.4 million from last year. Borrowed
funds represented 218% of tier one capital at the end of the first quarter of
2003, 209% of tier one capital at year end 2002 and 200% at the end of the
first quarter last year. Management's policy is to limit borrowed funds to
no more than 250% of tier one capital.

Table 5 reflects the changes in the major classifications of deposits and
borrowings.

CAPITAL RESOURCES:

Total stockholders' equity increased $8.8 million or 11.1% from March 31,
2002 and by $1.2 million or 1.4% since year-end 2002. Stockholders' equity
is impacted by changes in the unrealized market gains and losses of the
securities available for sale portfolio, net of deferred taxes and is shown
on the consolidated balance sheets as a component of stockholders' equity as
accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax. This portfolio had net
unrealized losses for all periods presented.

Table 6 shows PennRock's capital resources at March 31, 2003 and at December
31 and March 31, 2002. PennRock and its subsidiary bank exceed all minimum
capital guidelines.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and
rates. Our primary market risk arises from interest-rate risk. We acquire
interest earning assets (loans and securities) and fund them with interest-
bearing liabilities (deposits and borrowings). These financial instruments
have varying degrees of sensitivity to changes in market interest rates. The
disparity of sensitivity between these financial assets and liabilities
creates interest rate risk. We believe there have been no material changes
in the levels of interest rate risk exposure since year-end 2002. Further
information on interest rate risk can be found under the caption
"Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk" on pages 36-39
in PennRock's 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

a. Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

An evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of PennRock's
disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Section 13(a)-14(c) of the
Securities and Exchange Act of 1934) was carried out by PennRock, within 90
days prior to the filing date of this report, under the supervision and with
the participation of PennRock's management, including the Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based on that evaluation, the Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that PennRock's
disclosure controls and procedures have been designed and are being operated
in a manner that provides reasonable assurance that the information required
to be disclosed by PennRock in reports filed under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time
periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. A controls system, no matter
how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the
objectives of the controls 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. Changes in internal control.

Subsequent to the date of the most recent evaluation of PennRock's internal
controls, there were no significant changes in PennRock's internal controls
or in other factors that could significantly affect the internal controls,
including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies
and material weaknesses.
