PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS


QNB CORP.

QNB Corp. (the "Corporation") was incorporated under the laws of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania on June 4, 1984. The Corporation is registered with
the Federal Reserve Board as a bank holding company under the Bank Holding
Company Act of 1956, as amended, and conducts its business through its
wholly-owned subsidiary, The Quakertown National Bank (the "Bank"). The
principal business of the Corporation, through the Bank, is commercial banking
and consists of, among other things, attracting deposits from the general public
and using these funds in making commercial loans, residential mortgage loans,
consumer loans, and purchasing investment securities.

The Corporation was organized for the purpose of becoming the
holding company of the Bank. Pursuant to a Plan of Reorganization approved by
the Bank's stockholders, the Corporation's application to the Federal Reserve
Board of Governors requesting approval to become a bank holding company was
approved on September 11, 1984. In accordance with the terms of the Plan of
Reorganization, each share of the Bank's common stock previously outstanding was
automatically converted into one share of the Corporation's common stock and the
Bank became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Corporation. The Corporation's
primary asset is its investment in the Bank. The Corporation's assets also
include an investment portfolio consisting of stock in various financial
institutions. The investment portfolio accounts for less than .25% of the
Corporation's total consolidated assets.


THE QUAKERTOWN NATIONAL BANK

The Bank is a national banking association organized in 1877. The
Bank is chartered under the National Banking Act to engage in the various
activities of a commercial bank and is subject to federal and state laws
applicable to commercial banks.

The Bank is a full-service commercial bank that provides most major
financial services. The Bank's principal office is located in Bucks County,
Pennsylvania. The Bank also operates five other full-service branches, an
operations facility and an administrative office. For more information relating
to the Bank's properties, see Item 2. Properties. The Bank had 115 full-time
employees and 39 part-time employees, at December 31, 1996. There are employees
of the Corporation who are also employees of the Bank.

As of December 31, 1996 the Corporation, on a consolidated basis,
had total assets of $280,447,000, total deposits of $246,744,000, and total
shareholders' equity of $22,775,000.

MARKET AREA

The Bank's primary market area is Quakertown, Pennsylvania and its
surrounding communities and includes parts of Upper Bucks County, Southern
Lehigh County, and Northern Montgomery County. The Bank is not dependent upon a
single customer, or a few customers, the loss of which would have a material
adverse effect on the Bank.

LENDING ACTIVITIES

General. The Bank offers a variety of loan products to its
customers; including residential real estate mortgages, commercial,
construction, home equity, business, consumer, and student loans. The Bank's
loan portfolio totaled $159,278,000 and $155,957,000 at December 31, 1996 and
1995, respectively. The portfolio represented approximately 56.8% and 56.5% of
the Bank's total assets at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

Residential Mortgage Loans. The Bank offers primarily 1 and 3 year
adjustable rate mortgages, 7 year balloon mortgages, and 15, 20 and 30 year
fixed rate loans. Since 1984 the Bank has generally sold, without recourse, its
mortgage loans in the secondary mortgage market. During both 1996 and 1995, the
Bank sold primarily only 30 year fixed rate mortgage loans in the secondary
market.

The Bank originates mortgage loans up to a 95% maximum loan-to-value
ratio provided the amount above 80% is covered by private mortgage insurance.
Premiums for private mortgage insurance are paid by the borrower.

All mortgages sold in the secondary market conform to the
loan-to-value ratios and underwriting standards dictated by the secondary
market. A majority of the mortgages are sold to the Federal Home Loan Mortgage
Corporation (Freddie Mac), with servicing retained by the Bank.

The Bank also offers home equity loans and lines of credit which are
included in real estate residential loans. Real estate residential loans in the
aggregate amount of $66,203,000 and $61,339,000 represented 41.4% and 39.2% of
gross loans at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Aggressive fixed rate
home equity loan promotions during 1996, and the change in strategy in selling
loans in the secondary market account for the increase.

Commercial Loans. The Bank offers commercial loans, including lines
of credit or commitment, term loans, commercial mortgages, letters of credit,
and tax-free loans.

The Bank's commercial and industrial loan portfolio totaled
$22,973,000 and $27,002,000 at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
Commercial and industrial loans represented approximately 14.4% and 17.3% the
Bank's total gross loans at December 31, 1996 and 1995 respectively.

Commercial real estate loans in the aggregate amount of $57,589,000
and $51,368,000 represented 36.1% and 32.9% of the Bank's gross loan portfolio
at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively, while construction loans, including
commercial and residential, totaled $3,640,000 and

5







$6,641,000 for the same periods. Commercial real estate loans include all loans
collateralized at least in part by commercial real estate, but may not be for
the expressed purpose of conducting commercial real estate transactions.

Construction, commercial and industrial, and commercial real estate
lending generally entails significant additional risk as compared with
residential mortgage lending. These loans typically involve larger loan balances
to single borrowers or groups of related borrowers.

Consumer Loans. The Bank's consumer loan portfolio totaled
$6,477,000 and $7,538,000 at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Consumer
loans represented 4.0% and 4.8% of the Bank's total gross loans at December 31,
1996 and 1995, respectively. Consumer loans include automobile loans, student
loans and other consumer type credit not secured by real estate. The decline in
consumer loans is primarily the result of the increased use of home equity loans
which are classified as real estate residential loans.


INVESTMENT ACTIVITIES

At December 31, 1996 and 1995, the Corporation's investment
portfolio, on a consolidated basis, in the aggregate amount of $95,478,000 and
$97,895,000 consisted primarily of U.S. Government and Federal agency
obligations, mortgage-backed securities, and state and municipal securities.
Subject to applicable limits the Bank is also permitted to invest in corporate
bonds and the Corporation is permitted to invest in equity securities. The Bank
accounts for its investments based on Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
Securities." Investment securities available-for-sale are recorded at market
value with the unrealized holding gain or loss, net of taxes, included in
shareholders' equity, while investment securities held-to-maturity are recorded
at amortized cost. At December 31, 1996 and 1995, the balance of the
available-for-sale portfolio was $52,779,000 and $55,380,000 and the balance of
the held-to-maturity portfolio was $42,699,000 and $42,515,000, respectively.

The Bank views its investment portfolio as a secondary source of
liquidity and stable earnings. Decisions regarding the selection of investments
for the Bank's portfolio are made by the Chief Operating Officer and the Chief
Financial Officer, or either of them, together with one other member of the
asset/liability committee. Decisions on maturity and type of investment are
dictated by the Bank's investment policy as approved annually by the Board of
Directors. To enhance the liquidity and interest rate sensitivity of the
portfolio, the Bank's strategy has been to invest seventy-five percent in short
and medium term U.S. Government and Federal Agency obligations and callable
bonds and twenty-five percent in longer term mortgage-backed securities and
state and municipal securities. The available-for-sale and held-to-maturity
investment portfolios had weighted average maturities of 4 years and 1 month and
3 years and 6 months respectively, at December 31, 1996.

SOURCES OF FUNDS

Deposits. The Bank offers a variety of deposit products including
checking accounts, passbook and statement savings, money market accounts, Super
N.O.W. accounts, certificates of deposit, and jumbo certificates of deposit.
Deposits of the Bank are insured up to $100,000 by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation (the "FDIC").


COMPETITION

The Bank competes actively with other commercial banks in its market
area. Competition exists for new deposits, in the scope and type of services
offered, in interest rates on interest-bearing deposits and loans, and in other
aspects of banking. In addition, the Bank, like other commercial banks,
encounters competition from other non-bank financial institutions including
savings banks, savings and loans, insurance companies, credit unions, finance
companies, mutual funds and certain governmental agencies. Furthermore, large
regional and national banks located in Philadelphia and Allentown are active in
servicing companies based in the Bank's market area.


SUPERVISION AND REGULATION

Holding Company Regulation

As a registered holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act,
(the "BHCA"), the Corporation is regulated by the Federal Reserve Board (the
"FRB"). The Corporation is also subject to the provisions of section 115 of the
Pennsylvania Banking Code of 1965.

As a bank holding company, the Corporation is required to file with
the FRB an annual report and such additional information regarding the holding
company and its subsidiary bank as required pursuant to the BHCA. The FRB may
also make examinations of the holding company and its subsidiary. The FRB
possesses cease-and-desist powers over bank holding companies and their non-bank
subsidiaries where their actions would constitute an unsafe or unsound practice
or violation of law.

In addition to the restrictions imposed by the BHCA relating to a
bank holding company's ability to acquire control of additional banks, the BHCA
generally prohibits a bank holding company from (i) acquiring a direct or
indirect interest in, or control of 5% or more of the outstanding voting shares
of any company, and (ii) engaging directly or indirectly in activities other
than that of banking, managing or controlling banks or furnishing services to
subsidiaries. However, a bank holding company may engage in, and may own shares
of companies engaged in, certain activities deemed by the FRB to be closely
related to banking or managing or controlling banks.

Bank Regulation

The Bank operates as a national bank subject to regulation and
examination by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the "OCC").

The OCC regulates all areas of a national bank's commercial banking
operations including loans, mergers, establishment of branches and other aspects
of operations. The OCC also regulates the level of dividends which can be
declared by the Corporation. See the Corporation's 1996 Annual Report to
Shareholders ("Annual Report"), "Management Discussion and Analysis,"
incorporated by reference herein.

The Bank is also regulated by the Federal Reserve System and the
FDIC. The major function of the FDIC with respect to insured member banks is to
pay depositors to the extent provided by law in the event an insured bank is
closed without adequately providing for payment of the claims of depositors.

FDIC insured banks are subject to certain FDIC requirements designed
to maintain the safety and soundness of individual banks and the banking system.
In addition, the FDIC along with the Comptroller of the Currency and the FRB
have adopted regulations which define and set the minimum requirements for
capital adequacy based on risk. See the Corporation's Annual Report, "Capital
Adequacy," incorporated by reference herein. The FRB, the FDIC and Federal and
State law extensively regulate other various aspects of the banking business,
including, but not limited to, permissible types and amounts of loans,
investments and other activities, branching, interest rates on loans and the
safety and soundness of banking practices.

Environmental Laws. Neither the Corporation nor the Bank anticipate
that compliance with environmental laws and regulations will have any material
effect on capital, expenditures, earnings, or on its competitive position.
However, environmentally related hazards have become a source of high risk and
potentially unlimited liability for financial institutions. Environmentally
contaminated properties owned by an institution's borrowers may result in a
drastic reduction in the value of the collateral securing the institution's
loans to such borrowers, high environmental clean up costs to the borrower
affecting its ability to repay the loans, the subordination of any lien in favor
of the institution to a state or federal lien securing clean up costs, and
liability to the institution for clean up costs if it forecloses on the
contaminated property or becomes involved in the management of the borrower. To
minimize this risk, the Bank may require an environmental examination of and
report with respect to the property of any borrower or prospective borrower if
circumstances affecting the property indicate a potential for contamination,
taking into consideration a potential loss to the institution in relation to the
borrower. Such examination must be performed by an engineering firm experienced
in environmental risk studies and acceptable to the institution, and the cost of
such examinations and reports are the responsibility of the borrower. These
costs may be substantial and may deter prospective borrowers from entering into
a loan transaction with the Bank. The Corporation is not aware of any borrower
who is currently subject to any environmental investigation or clean up
proceeding that is likely to have a material adverse effect on the financial
condition or results of operations of the Bank.

8






In 1995, the Pennsylvania General Assembly enacted the Economic
Development Agency, Fiduciary and Lender Environmental Liability Protection Act
which, among other things, provides protection to lenders from environmental
liability and remediation costs under the environmental laws for releases and
contamination caused by others. A lender who engages in activities involved in
the routine practices of commercial lending, including, but not limited to, the
providing of financial services, holding of security interests, workout
practices, foreclosure or the recovery of funds from the sale of property shall
not be liable under the environmental acts or common law equivalents to the
Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Resources or to any other person by
virtue of the fact that the lender engages in such commercial lending practice.
A lender, however, will be liable if it, its employees or agents, directly cause
an immediate release or directly exacerbate a release of regulated substance on
or from the property, or knowingly and willfully compelled the borrower to
commit an action which caused such release or violate an environmental act. The
Economic Development Agency, Fiduciary and Lender Environmental Liability
Protection Act, however, does not limit federal liability which still exists
under certain circumstances.

Federal Reserve Board Requirements

Regulation D of the FRB imposes reserve requirements on all
depository institutions, including the Bank, that maintain transaction accounts
or non-personal time and savings accounts. These reserves may be in the form of
cash or non-interest bearing deposits with the Philadelphia Federal Reserve
Bank. Under current Regulation D, the Bank must establish reserves equal to 3.0%
of the first $44.9 million of net transaction accounts and 10.0% of the
remainder. The reserve requirement on non-personal savings and time deposits
with an original maturity of less than 18 months is 3.0%. Cash and due from
banks are used as a deduction against the reserve. At December 31, 1996, the
Bank met applicable FRB reserve requirements.


ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

The Bank and Corporation's main office is located at 10 North Third
Street, Quakertown, Pennsylvania. The Bank conducts business from its main
office and five other retail offices located in Upper Bucks, Southern Lehigh,

PART III


ITEM 10. DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS OF THE REGISTRANT

The information required by this Item, relating to directors, executive
officers, control persons is set forth in the sections captioned "Executive
Officers of the Registrant" of the Registrant's definitive Proxy Statement to be
used in connection with the 1997 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, which pages are
incorporated herein by reference.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Compliance. Section 16(a) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires the Registrant's officers
and directors, and persons who own more than 10 percent of a registered class of
the Registrant's equity securities, to file reports of ownership and changes in
ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Officers,
directors and greater than 10 percent shareholders are required by SEC
regulation to furnish the Registrant with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they
file.

Based solely on its review of the copies of such forms received by it
or written representations from certain reporting persons that no Forms 5 were
required for those persons, the Registrant believes that during the period
January 1, 1996 through December 31, 1996, its officers and directors were in
compliance with all filing requirements applicable to them.
