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, 2002 and 2001.

During the second quarter, managenment revised it's policy for evaluating
loans for impairment. Previously all commercial loans greater than $100 were
evaluated for impairment. Currently, only commercial loans greater than $250
will be evaluated for impairment.

Except as noted above, the accounting policies of Susquehanna Bancshares,
Inc. & 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 38 through 40 of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001.

Susquehanna Bancshares, Inc. and Subsidiaries
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 141,
Business Combinations, and SFAS 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. SFAS
No. 141 requires companies to use the purchase method of accounting for all
business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 and addresses the initial
recognition and measurement of goodwill and other intangibles acquired in a
business combination. SFAS No. 142, which Susquehanna adopted on January 1,
2002, addresses the initial recognition and measurement of intangible assets
acquired outside a business combination and the recognition and measurement of
goodwill and other intangible assets subsequent to acquisition. Under the new
standard, goodwill is no longer amortized. Instead, it is tested for impairment
at least annually. As of June 30, 2002, there was no impairment of goodwill.
Other intangible assets continue to be amortized over their useful lives.

The gross carrying amount and accumulated amortization of identifiable
intangible assets as of June 30, 2002 are as follows:

Item 2

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

Management's discussion and analysis of the significant changes in the
consolidated results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows of
Susquehanna Bancshares, Inc. ("Susquehanna") is set forth below for the periods
indicated.

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 and
credit risk. 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: general economic
conditions in market areas in which Susquehanna has significant business
activities or investments; the monetary and interest rate policies of the Board
of Governors of the Federal Reserve System; inflation; deflation; unanticipated
turbulence in interest rates; changes in laws, regulations and taxes; changes in
competition and pricing environments; natural disasters; the inability to hedge
certain risks economically; the adequacy of loss reserves; acquisitions or
restructuring; technological changes; changes in consumer spending and saving
habits and the success of Susquehanna in managing the risks involved in the
foregoing.

The management of Susquehanna encourages readers of this report to
understand forward-looking statements to be strategic objectives rather than
absolute targets of future performance. Forward-looking statements speak only
"as of" the date made. Susquehanna does not update forward-looking statements to
reflect circumstances or events that occur after the date the forward-looking
statements are made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

The following discussion and analysis, the purpose of which is to
provide investors and others with information that Susquehanna's management
believes to be necessary for an understanding of its financial condition,
changes in financial condition, and results of operations, should be read in
conjunction with the financial statements, notes, and other information
contained in this document.

Results of Operations

Summary of 2002 Compared to 2001

Susquehanna's net income for the second quarter of 2002 was $15.6
million, a 9.9% increase from net income of $14.2 million in the second quarter
of 2001. For the first six months of 2002, net income increased 14.0% to $30.4
million from $26.7 million for the same period during 2001. During the second
quarter of 2002, Susquehanna's margin and fee income continued to improve as
they increased by 12.3% and 5.8%, respectively, from the second quarter of 2001
and fee income represented 31.9% of total revenues for the second quarter of
2002. The improvement in margin and fee income was offset by a 9.2% increase in
operating expenses from second quarter 2001 to second quarter 2002. During the
first six months of 2002, Susquehanna's margin and fee income increased by 10.5%
and 9.9%, respectively, from the comparable period of 2001 and fee income
represented 33.7% of total revenues for the first six months of 2002. This
improvement in margin and fee income was offset by a 9.3% increase in operating
expenses from the comparable period of 2001.

Diluted earnings per share ("EPS") increased 8.3% from $0.36 per share
for the second quarter of 2001 to $0.39 per share for the second quarter of
2002. Diluted EPS increased 11.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2002 to
$0.76 from $0.68 for the same period in 2001. Return on average assets ("ROA")
and return on average equity ("ROE") were 1.20% and 12.37%, respectively, in the
second quarter of 2002 compared with 1.20% and 12.15%, respectively, in the
second quarter of 2001. ROA and ROE were 1.19% and 12.24%, respectively, for the
six months ended June 30, 2002 as compared to 1.14% and 11.67%, respectively,
for the same period ended June 30, 2001.

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board adopted SFAS
142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Because of the adoption of SFAS 142,
goodwill amortization ceased in 2002. Had the new rules been in effect last
year, fully diluted earnings per share would have been $ 0.72 and net income
would have been $28.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001, resulting
in a 5.6% increase in diluted earnings per share and a 7.7% increase in net
income for the first six months of 2002. Under the new rules, second quarter
2001 fully diluted earnings per share and net income would have been $0.38 and
$15.0 million, respectively, resulting in increases of 2.6% and 4.2%,
respectively, for the second quarter of 2002.

Total assets at June 30, 2002 were $5.3 billion, compared with $4.9
billion at June 30, 2001. Loans of $3.7 billion at June 30, 2002 increased from
$3.5 billion at June 30, 2001, while deposits increased from $3.3 billion at
June 30, 2001 to $3.6 billion at June 30, 2002. Equity capital was $517 million
at June 30, 2002, or $13.11 per share, compared to $474 million, or $12.06 per
share, at June 30, 2001.

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

12



Net Interest Income - Taxable Equivalent Basis

Our major source of operating revenues is net interest income, which
rose to a level of $47.8 million in the second quarter of 2002, compared to
$42.5 million for the same period in 2001. For the six months ended June 30,
2002, net interest income was $92.2 million compared with $83.4 million for the
same period of 2001. 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 and leases, income from
investment securities and income from 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 levels of non-performing assets. The cost of funds varies
with the amount of funds necessary to support earning assets, the rates paid to
attract and hold deposits, rates paid on borrowed funds, and the levels of
non-interest bearing demand deposits and equity capital.

Table 1 presents average balances, taxable equivalent interest income
and expenses, and yields earned or paid on the assets and liabilities of
Susquehanna. 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. Net interest income as a
percentage of net interest income and other income was 68.1% for the quarter
ended June 30, 2002, and was 66.7% for the quarter ended June 30, 2001,
respectively. For the six month period ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, net
interest income as a percentage of net interest income and other income was
66.3% and 66.7%, respectively.

Net interest income for the second quarter 2002 increased $5.2 million
compared to the second quarter of 2001. Average earning assets in the second
quarter of 2002 increased $389 million over the same period in 2001, with
average loans increasing $219 million, average investment securities increasing
$214million, and lower yield short-term investments decreasing $44 million.
Average interest-bearing liabilities increased $297 million with average
interest-bearing deposits increasing $237 million. Non-interest bearing demand
deposits increased $77 million in the second quarter of 2002 over the second
quarter of 2001. These factors, coupled with the overall decline in interest
rates, caused the net interest margin to improve to 4.08% in the second quarter
of 2002 from 3.97% in the second quarter of 2001. The margin improvement is
partially attributable to a 128 basis point decrease in the cost of funds,
coupled with a decrease of only 102 basis points in the yield on earning assets.

Net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2002 increased
$8.7 million compared to the same period in 2001. Average earning assets for the
first six months of 2002 increased $345 million over the same period in 2001,
with average loans increasing $169 million and average investment securities
increasing $194 million. Average interest-bearing liabilities increased $264
million with average interest-bearing deposits increasing $216 million. Average
non-interest bearing demand deposits increased $80 million for the first six
months of 2002 compared with the first six months of 2001. This increased volume
helped the net interest margin improve to 4.01% in the first six months of 2002
from 3.94% during the same period of 2001.

13



Actions by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System to decrease
interest rates primarily caused these basis point decreases.

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 the section titled "Market Risks"
below.

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 inherent losses in the loan and lease portfolio.
Susquehanna's 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, analyze delinquencies, ascertain loan
growth, evaluate potential charge-offs and recoveries, and assess general
economic conditions in the markets its affiliates serve.

As illustrated in Table 3, the provision was $2.4 million in the second
quarter of 2002, an increase of $0.6 million from the same period in 2001. Net
charge-offs were $1.8 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2002
versus $1.3 million in the corresponding three month period ended 2001. For the
six months ended June 30, 2002, the provision was $4.7 million, an increase of
$1.0 million from the $3.7 million provision for the first six months of 2001,
while net charge-offs increased from $2.5 million in 2001 to $3.3 million in
2002.

Determining the level of the allowance for possible loan and lease
losses at any given period is difficult, particularly during deteriorating or
uncertain economic periods. Management must make estimates using assumptions and
information which 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. Despite the fact
that interest rates have been lowered, a slowdown of economic growth could
occur. Borrowers may experience difficulty and the level of non-performing loans
and assets, charge-offs and delinquencies could rise and require further
increases to the provision.

Other Income

Non-interest income increased $1.2 million, or 5.8%, from $21.2 million
in the second quarter of 2001, to $22.4 million in the second quarter of 2002.
This quarter's increase resulted primarily from an increase in asset management
fees at Valley Forge Asset Management Corp. (VFAM) and service charges on
deposit accounts at our banking subsidiaries. Non-interest income increased $5.1
million, or 12.3%, from $41.7 million to $46.8 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The six month improvement was primarily
attributed to an increase in deposit service charges of $1.8 million, an
increase in vehicle fees of $1.8 million at Boston Service Company, Inc., t/a
Hann Financial Service Corp. (Hann), and an increase in asset management fees of
$1.4 million at VFAM.

14



Other income as a percentage of net interest income and other income,
was 31.9% for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 compared with 33.3% for the
comparable period of 2001. For the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001,
other income as a percentage of net interest income and other income was 33.7%
and 33.3%, respectively.

Other Expenses

Total non-interest expenses increased $3.8 million from $41.2 million
in the second quarter of 2001 to $45.1 million in the second quarter of 2002.
For the six months ended June 30, 2002, total non-interest expenses increased
$7.7 million to $90.2 million from $82.5 million during the same period in 2001.
The quarter to quarter increase was primarily due to increases in salaries and
benefits of 6.6%, or $1.2 million, and other expenses of 11.3%, or $1.4 million,
with the increases consisting of professional fees, insurance, advertising,
communications and software expenses. The increase in salaries and benefits was
primarily due to normal annual salary increases, increased sales force and the
addition of seven banking branches. Four of these branches were acquired from
another institution, while three were newly developed branches. These additional
branches also contributed to the increase in other expense. The six month
increase was due to the same factors as noted above plus a $1.3 million increase
in vehicle delivery and preparation expense due to increased volumes at Hann.

Income Taxes

Susquehanna's effective tax rate decreased slightly to 31.0% for the
second quarter and first six months of 2002 due to the adoption of SFAS 142 and
the cessation of goodwill amortization.

Financial Condition

Risk Assets

Table 2 shows a decrease in non-accrual loans and leases from $18.7
million at June 30, 2001 to $16.8 million at June 30, 2002. Loans past due 90
days or more and still accruing increased from $8.5 million at June 30, 2001 to
$10.0 million at June 30, 2002. The percentage of non-performing assets to
period-end loans and other real estate owned (OREO) decreased from .67% at June
30, 2001 to .53% at June 30, 2002. The percentage of loan loss reserve to
non-performing loans at June 30, 2002 was 233% compared with 205% at June 30,
2001.

Capital Resources

Capital elements for Susquehanna are segmented into two tiers. Tier 1
capital represents shareholders' equity reduced by most intangible assets. 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."

15



The minimum Tier I capital ratio is 4%; Susquehanna's ratio at June 30,
2002 was 10.3%. The minimum total capital (Tier I and II) ratio is 8%;
Susquehanna's ratio at June 30, 2002 was 11.6%. The minimum leverage ratio is
4%; Susquehanna's leverage ratio at June 30, 2002 was 8.5%. Susquehanna and each
of its banking 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 interest rate risk, liquidity risk, equity market price risk, foreign
currency risk, and commodity price risk. Only interest rate and liquidity risks
are significant to Susquehanna.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity and interest rate risk are related but distinctly different
from one another. The maintenance of adequate liquidity -- the ability to meet
the cash requirements of its customers and other financial commitments -- is a
fundamental aspect of Susquehanna's asset/liability management strategy.
Susquehanna's policy of diversifying its funding sources -- purchased funds,
repurchase agreements, and deposit accounts -- allows it to avoid undue
concentration in any single financial market and also to avoid heavy funding
requirements within short periods of time. At June 30, 2002, Susquehanna's
subsidiary banks had unused lines of credit available to them from the Federal
Home Loan Bank system totaling approximately $521 million.

However, liquidity is not entirely dependent on increasing
Susquehanna's liability balances. Liquidity can also be generated from maturing
or readily marketable assets. The carrying value of investment securities
maturing within one year amounted to $51 million at June 30, 2002. These
maturing investments represented 5% of total investment securities. Unrestricted
short-term investments amounted to $19.7 million and represent additional
sources of liquidity. Consequently, Susquehanna's exposure to liquidity risk is
not considered significant.

Interest Rate Risk

Closely related to the management of liquidity is the management of
interest rate risk, which focuses on maintaining stability in the net interest
margin, an important factor in earnings growth. Interest rate sensitivity is the
matching or mismatching of the maturity and rate structure of the
interest-bearing assets and liabilities. Management's objective is to control
the difference in the timing of the rate changes for these assets and
liabilities to preserve a satisfactory net interest margin. In doing so,
Susquehanna endeavors to maximize earnings in an environment of changing
interest rates. However, there is a lag in maintaining the desired matching
because the repricing of products occurs at varying time intervals.

Susquehanna employs a variety of methods to monitor interest rate risk.
By dividing the assets and liabilities into three groups -- fixed rate, floating
rate and those which reprice only at management's discretion -- strategies are
developed which are designed to minimize exposure to interest rate fluctuations.
Management also uses gap and interest rate shock analyses to evaluate interest
rate sensitivity at a given point in time.

19



Periodic gap reports compare the sensitivity of interest-earning assets
and interest-bearing liabilities to changes in interest rates. Management also
utilizes an in-house simulation model that measures Susquehanna's exposure to
interest rate risk. This model calculates the income effect and the economic
value of assets, liabilities and equity at current and forecasted interest
rates, and at hypothetical higher and lower interest rates using one percent
intervals.

Susquehanna's policy, as approved by its Board of Directors, is for
Susquehanna to experience no more than a 15% decline in net interest income and
no more than a 30% decline in economic 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, Susquehanna was within the Board's policy
limits.

At June 30, 2002, Susquehanna continues to be an asset sensitive
institution and should benefit from a rise in interest rates in the future, if
that should occur.

Securitizations and Off-Balance Sheet Financings

Background. Asset securitizations and other off-balance sheet
financings can further affect liquidity and interest rate risk. Automobile
leases originated by Susquehanna's wholly-owned subsidiary, Boston Service
Company, Inc. doing business as Hann Financial Service Corporation ("Hann") are
financed primarily in four ways: securitization transactions; sale-leaseback
transactions; agency arrangements with other financial institutions; and other
sources of funds, including internally generated sources. Assets financed in the
first three of these manners generally are not reflected on Susquehanna's
consolidated balance sheet. As of June 30, 2002, Hann's off-balance sheet,
managed portfolio was funded in the following manners: asset securitization
transactions, $179 million; sale-leaseback transaction, $158 million; and agency
arrangements, $641 million.

In connection with the securitization transactions, Hann sells the
beneficial interests in automobile leases and related vehicles at par to a
wholly-owned, special purpose entity, or SPE. These transactions have been
accounted for as sales under the guidelines of SFAS 140. The SPE retains the
right to receive excess cash flows from the sold portfolio. Under SFAS 140, Hann
is required to recognize a receivable representing the present value of these
excess cash flows. As of June 30, 2002, the aggregate amount of all such
recorded receivables was $6.3 million.

Second Quarter 2002 Transaction. During the second quarter of 2002,
Hann completed a new agency arrangement. In connection with that arrangement,
Susquehanna entered into a Residual Interest Agreement which guarantees the
performance of Auto Lenders Liquidation Center, Inc. (Auto Lenders) in its
obligation to an agency client of Hann. Michael J. Wimmer, who was a member of
Susquehanna's Board of Directors on June 30, 2002, along with his immediate
family owns 100% of the outstanding equity interest of Auto Lenders. Auto
Lenders, which was formed in 1990, is a used vehicle remarketer with three
retail locations in New Jersey.

20



In the event the agency client incurs any losses, cost and expenses as
a result of any failure of Auto Lenders to perform in its obligation to remit to
the agency client an amount equal to the full residual value of any leased
vehicle within the agency client's portfolio, Susquehanna agrees to compensate
the agency client for any final liquidation loss with respect to such leased
vehicle. However, Susquehanna's liability is not to exceed 12% of the maximum
aggregate residual value of all leases purchased by the agency client. At June
30, 2002, the total residual value amount related to this transaction was $13.6
million and the maximum obligation under the residual interest agreement at June
30, 2002, was $1.6 million.

Summary of Susquehanna's Potential Exposure under All Off-Balance Sheet
Transactions. Under the asset securitization transactions, Susquehanna has
reimbursement obligations to lenders under letter of credit facilities if Auto
Lenders breaches its obligations to the lenders. At June 30, 2002, Susquehanna
would be obligated for up to $40.5 million under these facilities. Under the
sale-leaseback transaction, Susquehanna must continue to maintain its investment
grade senior unsecured long-term debt ratings. This rating provision can be
cured by Susquehanna by obtaining a $33.9 million letter of credit from an
eligible financial institution for the benefit of the equity participants in the
transaction. Under the agency arrangements, Susquehanna's maximum obligation at
June 30, 2002 was $1.6 million.
