NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2002
(UNAUDITED)

Review of Interim Financial Statements

The condensed consolidated financial statements as of and
for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2002
and 2001 have been reviewed by independent certified
public accountants. Their report on their review is
attached as Exhibit 99 to this 10-Q filing.

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements contain all
adjustments necessary to present fairly Tower Bancorp,
Inc.'s consolidated financial position as of June 30, 2002
and the results of its operations for the three and six
month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001.

The results of operations for the six month period ended
June 30, 2002 and 2001 are not necessarily indicative of
the results to be expected for the full year.

Note 2. Income Taxes

Income tax expense is less than the amount calculated
using the statutory tax rate primarily as a result of tax
exempt income earned from state and municipal securities
and loans.

Note 3. Commitments

In the normal course of business, the bank makes various
commitments and incurs certain contingent liabilities
which are not reflected in the accompanying financial
statements. These commitments include various guarantees
and commitments to extend credit and the bank does not
anticipate any losses as a result of these transactions.



TOWER BANCORP, INC.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net income for the first six months of 2002 was $ 2,592,000
compared to $ 2,012,000 for the first half of 2001. Net income on a
per share basis for 2002 was $ 1.49, up $ .34 from the $ 1.15
realized during the first six months of 2001.

Total interest income for the first six months of 2002 was
$ 8,121,000 compared to $ 8,316,000 for the first six months of
2001. Increases occurred primarily in loan income resulting from a
volume increase as rates continue to decline. Average rates on
loans decreased approximately one hundred thirty basis points from
those at the end of the first half of 2001. Average loan balances
at June 30, 2002 have increased 17.1% over those at June 30, 2001.
Increases were primarily in mortgage and commercial loans, which
increased 9.8% and 63.6%, respectively since June 30, 2001.
Earnings on investments for the first half decreased 9.6% from
totals for the corresponding period in 2001. Decreases were
attributable to volume decreases of 3.5% and a thirty-five basis
point drop in average rates earned from June 30, 2001 to 2002.

Total interest expense was $ 2,843,000 for the first half of
2002, a decrease of $ 898,000 from the $ 3,741,000 reported for the
first half of 2001. Increases in average total deposits has been
3% since June 30, 2001. Most of this growth has occurred in the
interest bearing demand deposit accounts. Average rates on
deposits decreased one hundred thirty-nine basis points from those
paid during the first six months of 2001. This coupled with the
fact that deposit growth has been concentrated in transaction
accounts has caused the bank's cost of funds to decrease. With the
increases in earning assets occurring in mortgage and commercial
loans, the Bank has been able to produce higher net interest
earnings over 2001. The loan to deposit ratio was over 100% at
June 30, 2002 compared to 86% at June 30, 2001. Interest expense
on borrowed money increased $ 170,000 over 2001 totals as the Bank
increased its borrowings as a supplemental source of funds to
maintain liquidity goals. Management intends to continue to
competitively price its deposits while maintaining desired net
interest spreads.

The Bank made a $ 130,000 provision for loan losses during the
first half of 2002. Net charge-offs were $ 140,000 during the
first half of 2002 compared to $ 69,000 during the first half of
2001, which are well below peer group averages. Management has
significantly expanded its detailed review of the loan portfolio,
which is performed quarterly, in an effort to identify and more
readily act on loans with deteriorating trends. Anticipated losses
are well below the current allowance amount and management is not
aware of any problem loans that are indicative of trends, events,
or uncertainties that would significantly impact future operations,
liquidity or capital.



Management also recognizes the need to maintain an adequate
allowance to meet the constant risks associated with a growing loan
portfolio and an expanding customer base and intends to continue to
maintain the allowance at appropriate levels based on ongoing
evaluations of the loan portfolio.

Non-interest income was $ 2,011,000 for the first half of 2002
representing a 22.9% increase over the first half of 2001.
Increases were primarily in services charges on deposit accounts
and Securities Gains. Investment Services income is down
significantly as expected due to the transfer of its Trust
Department Administration to Sentry Trust. Management expects to
regain some of this decrease by expanding its brokerage services.

Non-interest expenses were $ 3,594,000 for the first half of
2002 compared to $ 3,463,000 for 2001. Increases were primarily in
personnel and technology costs as the bank prepares to establish a
new full service branch office in Hagerstown, Maryland.

The bank's effective income tax rate was 27.3% and 25.1% for
the first six months of 2002 and 2001, respectively. The statutory
marginal tax bracket remains at 34%. The primary differences
between the statutory and effective rates are due to nontaxable
income from municipal investments and tax-free loans.

Total assets were $ 260,724,000 at June 30, 2002 compared to
$ 238,962,000 at June 30, 2001. This represents a growth rate of
approximately 9%. Internal capital generation has been the primary
method utilized to increase capital. Total stockholders' equity
was $ 30,900,000 at June 30, 2002, representing 11.8% of total
assets compared to $ 26,676,000 at June 30, 2001, which represented
11.2% of total assets. Risk-based capital ratios continue to
exceed regulatory minimums.

INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANT'S REPORT


Board of Directors
Tower Bancorp, Inc.
Greencastle, Pennsylvania


We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet
of Tower Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiary as of June 30, 2002 and the
related consolidated statements of income for the three and six
month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 and consolidated
statements of comprehensive income for the six months ended
June 30, 2002 and 2001 and consolidated statements of cash flows
for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the corporation's management.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards
established by the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants. A review of interim financial information consists
principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data and
making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and
accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an
audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion
regarding the consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.
Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material
modifications that should be made to the accompanying consolidated
financial statements for them to be in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.
