PART I

ITEM 1 - BUSINESS

SUN BANCORP, INC. (SUN) is a holding company incorporated under the laws of
Pennsylvania and registered under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as
amended, on November 26, 1982. SUN acquired the Snyder County Trust Company in
June 1983 and The Watsontown National Bank in November 1987. On December 1,
1993, the two banks merged into one bank under the legal title of Sun Bank
(Bank). SUN also owns the Pennsylvania SUN Life Insurance Company, a credit life
and disability insurance company formed in 1993. SUN is a limited partner in
three partnerships for the purpose of building, owning, and operating an
affordable elderly apartment complex in SUN's market area. As part of the
agreement, SUN is able to recognize tax credits from this economic development
project. On June 30, 1997, SUN acquired Bucktail Bank and Trust Company
(Bucktail) from FNB Corporation. Concurrently, Bucktail was merged into Sun
Bank. On October 4, 2000, Sun Bank changed its legal title to SunBank and
discontinued using the trade names Snyder County Trust Company, Watsontown Bank,
Central Pennsylvania Bank, and Bucktail Bank and Trust Company. On October 30,
2000, SUN acquired seventy-five percent of Sun Abstract and Settlement Services
for the sum of $15,000 which represents the total investment.

SunBank, a state-chartered bank regulated by Pennsylvania Banking Law,
provides full service commercial and retail banking services primarily in
central Pennsylvania. SunBank operates sixteen banking offices and one trust
services office serving Snyder, Union, Northumberland, Lycoming, Cameron, and
Elk Counties. At December 31, 2000, SunBank had total assets of $741,928,000 and
total shareholders' equity of $61,307,000. Net income for 2000 was $4,721,000.

SunBank offers a wide range of services including demand deposit accounts,
savings accounts, Christmas and all-purpose clubs, time certificates of deposit,
and individual retirement accounts, as well as commercial loans, consumer loans,
mortgage loans, and safe deposit services. SunBank also operates a trust
department that provides full fiduciary services. Also, 33 Automated Teller
Machines (ATMs) and cash dispensing units throughout the service area provide
24-hour banking service. SunBank's activities are such that the loss of one
single customer or a few customers would not have a material adverse effect on
its operations. Additionally, SunBank's business is not seasonal in nature and
does not engage in foreign transactions. The majority of the loan portfolio is
comprised of residential real estate loans and consumer loans (predominately
automobiles). SunBank's deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation (FDIC) in the amount allowed by law.

The Pennsylvania SUN Life Insurance Company (SUN Life) provides credit life
and disability insurance to SunBank's credit customers. SUN Life is subject to
supervision and regulation by the Arizona Department of Insurance, the Insurance
Department of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and the Board of Governors of
the Federal Reserve Bank. At December 31, 2000, SUN Life had total assets of
$811,000 and total shareholders' equity of $465,000. Net income for 2000 was
$71,000.

Competition continues to heighten in the financial services industry not
only among banks but also with savings and loan associations, credit unions,
discount brokerage firms, insurance companies, and other nonbank financial
service providers. Changing regulatory and economic conditions affect SUN's
ability to compete effectively in its market area. Most of the competition is
centered around the setting of interest rates to be charged on loans and rates
paid on deposits, fees on deposit accounts, and customer service. SUN's
management feels it competes effectively in its market area.

SUN is subject to regulation and supervision by the Board of Governors of
the Federal Reserve Bank and the Pennsylvania Department of Banking. SUN files
quarterly and annual reports with the Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) of Philadelphia
and periodic



on-site exams of SUN are done by the FRB. Regular examinations of SunBank
are conducted by the FDIC and the Pennsylvania Department of Banking.

SUN and the Pennsylvania SUN Life Insurance Company do not have any
employees. At December 31, 2000, SunBank employed 264 persons. SunBank offers a
variety of benefit programs and feels its relationship with its employees is
good.

ITEM 2 - PROPERTIES

SUN's corporate office is located in SunBank's main banking office. SUN
owns all of its properties with the exception of an off-site ATM, (Item 8),
Johnsonburg (Item 13), South Williamsport (Item 18), and Loyalsock (Item 20),

20) was opened. All properties are in good condition and adequate for SunBank's
