PART I

Item 1: Business

Codorus Valley Bancorp, Inc. ("Bancorp" or the "Registrant") is a Pennsylvania
business corporation, incorporated on October 7, 1986. On March 2, 1987, Bancorp
became a bank holding company, pursuant to the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956,
as amended. PEOPLESBANK, A Codorus Valley Company ("PEOPLESBANK" or the "Bank")
is its wholly-owned banking subsidiary and SYC Realty Co., Inc. is its
wholly-owned nonbank subsidiary. Since commencing operations, Bancorp's business
has consisted primarily of managing and supervising the Bank, and its principal
source of income has been dividends paid by the Bank. At December 31, 1997,
Bancorp had total consolidated assets of $255 million, total deposits and other
liabilities of $230.6 million, and total stockholders' equity of $24.4 million.

Bank Subsidiary

PEOPLESBANK, formerly Peoples Bank of Glen Rock until February 1997, organized
in 1934, is a Pennsylvania chartered bank and is not a member of the Federal
Reserve System. PEOPLESBANK offers a full range of commercial and consumer
banking services through eight full service banking office locations in York
County, Pennsylvania. PEOPLESBANK also offers trust and investment services at
Codorus Valley Corporate Center located in York, Pennsylvania. The deposits of
PEOPLESBANK are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") to
the extent provided by law. At December 31, 1997, PEOPLESBANK had total loans of
$191.3 million and total deposits of $226.3 million.

The Bank is not dependent for deposits nor exposed by loan concentration to a
single customer or to a small group of customers. Accordingly, losses from a
single customer, or small customer group, would not have a material adverse
effect on the financial condition of the Bank. At fiscal year end 1997,
approximately 19% of total loans were concentrated in the commercial facility
leasing industry and approximately 11% of total loans were concentrated in the
real estate development industry, compared to 15% and 9%, respectively, at year
end 1996.

Nonbank Subsidiary

On June 20, 1991, SYC Realty Company, Inc. ("SYC Realty") was incorporated as a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Registrant. This nonbank subsidiary was created
primarily for the purpose of disposing of selected properties obtained from the
Bank in satisfaction of debts previously contracted. SYC Realty commenced
business operations in October, 1995. To date, the financial impact of this
subsidiary's operations on the Registrant and the Bank has been immaterial.

Competition

The banking industry in PEOPLESBANK's service area, principally York County,
Pennsylvania, is extremely competitive. The Bank competes with commercial banks
and other financial service providers such as thrifts, credit unions, consumer
finance companies, investment firms, and mortgage companies. Some of the
financial services providers operating in PEOPLESBANK's service area operate on
a regional scale and possess resources greater than those of PEOPLESBANK.

Supervision and Regulation

Codorus Valley Bancorp, Inc. is registered as a bank holding company and is
subject to the regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System (the "Federal Reserve") under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as
amended ("BHCA"). Bank holding companies are required to file periodic reports
with and are subject to examination by the Federal Reserve. The Federal Reserve
issued regulations under the BHCA that require a bank holding company to serve
as a source of financial and managerial strength to its subsidiary banks. As a
result, the Federal Reserve, pursuant to such regulations, may require the
Corporation to stand ready to use its resources to provide adequate capital
funds to the Bank during periods of financial stress or adversity.

Under the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991
("FDICIA"), a bank holding company is required to guarantee the compliance of
any insured depository institution subsidiary that may become "undercapitalized"
(as defined by regulations) with the terms of any capital restoration plan filed
by such subsidiary with its appropriate federal banking agency, up to specified
limits.

Under the BHCA, the Federal Reserve has the authority to require a bank holding
company to terminate any activity or relinquish control of a nonbank subsidiary
(other than a nonbank subsidiary of a bank) upon the Federal Reserve's
determination that such activity or control constitutes a serious risk to the
financial soundness and stability of any banking subsidiary of the bank holding
company.

The BHCA prohibits the Corporation from acquiring direct or indirect control of
more than 5% of the outstanding shares of any class of voting stock or
substantially all of the assets of any bank or merging or consolidating with
another bank holding company without prior approval of the Federal Reserve. Such
a transaction would also require approval of the Pennsylvania Department of
Banking. Pennsylvania law permits Pennsylvania bank holding companies to control
an unlimited number of banks.

Additionally, the BHCA prohibits the Corporation from engaging in or from
acquiring ownership or control of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of any
class of voting stock of any company engaged in a nonbanking business unless
such business is determined by the Federal Reserve to be so closely related to
banking as to be a proper incident thereto. The Federal Reserve can
differentiate between nonbanking activities that are initiated by a bank

4






holding company or subsidiary and activities that are acquired as a going
concern. The BHCA does not place territorial restrictions on the activities of
such nonbanking-related activities. The Corporation and its subsidiaries are
prohibited from engaging in certain tie-in arrangements in connection with any
extension of credit, lease or sale of property, or furnishing of services.

Bancorp is restricted to activities that are found by the Federal Reserve to be
closely related to banking, and which are expected to produce benefits for the
public that will outweigh any potentially adverse effects.

The operations of the Bank are subject to federal and state statutes applicable
to banks chartered under the banking laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
and whose deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
("FDIC").

The FDIC has primary supervisory authority over the Bank, regularly examines
banks in such areas as reserves, loans, investments, management practices, and
other aspects of operations. These examinations are designed for the protection
of the Bank's depositors rather than the Corporation's shareholders. The Bank
must furnish annual and quarterly reports to the FDIC.

Federal and state banking laws and regulations govern, among other things, the
scope of a bank's business, the investments a bank may take, the reserves
against deposits a bank must maintain, the types and terms of loans a bank may
make and the collateral it may take, the activities of a bank with respect to
mergers and consolidations, and the establishment of branches.
Pennsylvania law permits statewide branching.

A subsidiary bank of a bank holding company, such as the Bank, is subject to
certain restrictions imposed by the Federal Reserve Act on any extensions of
credit to the bank holding company or its subsidiaries, on investments in the
stock or other securities of the bank holding company or its subsidiaries, and
on taking such stock or securities as collateral for loans. The Federal Reserve
Act and Federal Reserve regulations also place certain limitations and reporting
requirements on extensions of credit by a bank to the principal shareholders of
its parent holding company, among others, and to related interests of such
principal shareholders. In addition, such legislation and regulations may affect
the terms upon which any person becoming a principal shareholder of a holding
company may obtain credit from banks with which the subsidiary bank maintains a
correspondent relationship.

The Bank, and the banking industry in general, are affected by the monetary and
fiscal policies of government agencies, including the Federal Reserve. Through
open market securities transactions and changes in its discount rate and reserve
requirements, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve exerts considerable
influence over the cost and availability of funds for lending and investment.

Recently, Pennsylvania enacted a law to permit State chartered financial
institutions to sell insurance. This follows a United States Supreme Court

5






decision in favor of nationwide insurance sales by banks and which also bars
states from blocking insurance sales by national banks in towns with populations
of no more than 5,000. Consequently, banks are allowed to sell insurance in
Pennsylvania. The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency has issued
guidelines for national banks to sell insurance. The Bank is evaluating its
options regarding the sale of insurance.

A brief discussion of the most recent federal banking agency pronouncements that
affect the Corporation and/or Bank is provided below.

Congress is currently considering legislative reform centered on repeal of the
Glass-Steagall Act which prohibits commercial banks from engaging in the
securities industry. The holding company structure, under such a proposal, would
be regulated by the Federal Reserve Board, and its subsidiaries would be
supervised by the applicable regulator based on their respective functions.

In December 1997, the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council
("FFIEC") issued an interagency statement. The statement indicates that senior
management and the board of directors should be actively involved in managing
the Corporation's and the Bank's Year 2000 compliance efforts. The statement
also recommended that institutions obtain Year 2000 compliance certification
from vendors followed by comprehensive internal testing. In addition,
contingency plans should be developed for all vendors that service "mission
critical" applications which are applications vital to the successful
continuance of a core business activity.

The passage of the Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act
of 1994 and the Riegle Community Development and Regulatory Improvement Act may
have a significant impact upon the Registrant. The key provisions pertain to
interstate banking and interstate branching as well as a reduction in the
regulatory burden on the banking industry. During July 1995, Pennsylvania
amended the provisions of its Banking Code to authorize full interstate banking
and branching under Pennsylvania law and to facilitate the operations of
interstate banks in Pennsylvania. As a result of legal and industry changes,
management predicts that consolidation will continue as the financial services
industry strives for greater cost efficiencies and market share.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 ("FDICIA"),
also impacts how the Bank conducts its business. FDICIA's risk-based assessment
system is designed to promote safety and soundness in the banking and thrift
industries by making the deposit insurance system fairer to well-run
institutions and by encouraging weaker institutions to improve their financial
condition. Current information regarding FDIC issues and costs is provided in
the 1997 Annual Report to Shareholders, within the Management's Discussion
section under the subheading deposit insurance fund act of 1996. Information
about Bancorp's capital ratios can be found in the 1997 Annual Report, within
the Management's Discussion section under the subheading stockholder's equity
(including Table 7). Bancorp's and the Bank's capital ratios exceed current
regulatory requirements for well capitalized banks. "Truth-in-Savings" a
separate subtitle within FDICIA, called the "Bank

6






Enterprize Act of 1991," requires truth-in-savings on consumer deposit accounts
so that consumers can make meaningful comparisons between the competing claims
of banks with regard to deposit accounts and products. The Bank has been
providing information to depositors concerning the terms of their deposit
accounts, and in particular the annual percentage yield in compliance with this
law.

The Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989
("FIRREA") reformed supervisory, enforcement and penalty provisions relative to
financial service companies.

Periodically, various types of federal and state legislation is proposed that
could result in additional regulation of, and restrictions on, the business of
the Corporation and the Bank. It cannot be predicted whether such legislation
will be adopted or, if adopted, how such legislation would affect the business
of the Corporation and the Bank. As a consequence of the extensive regulation of
commercial banking activities in the United States, the Corporation's and the
Bank's business is particularly susceptible to being affected by federal
legislation and regulations that may increase the cost of doing business. Except
as specifically described above, Management believes that the effect of the
provisions of the aforementioned legislation on the liquidity, capital
resources, and results of operations of the Corporation will be immaterial.
Management is not aware of any other current specific recommendations by
regulatory authorities or proposed legislation, which if they were implemented,
would have a material adverse effect upon the liquidity, capital resources, or
results of operations, although the general cost of compliance with numerous and
multiple federal and state laws and regulations does have, and in the future may
have, a negative impact on the Corporation's results of operations.


Other information

At December 31, 1997, the Bank had one hundred and thirty-two (132) full-time
employees and nineteen (19) part-time employees.
