Fulton Financial Corporation ("FFC") hereby amends its current report on Form
8-K dated March 31, 1998 to include the financial statements and pro-forma
financial information required by Item 7 of Form 8-K.

Item 7. Financial Statements and Exhibits
- -----------------------------------------

(a)  Financial Statements of Businesses Acquired

     The financial statements of Keystone Heritage Group, Inc. ("KHG") as of and
     for each of the years in the three year period ended December 31, 1997 are
     attached as Exhibit 99.2. KHG was acquired by FFC on March 27, 1998.

(b)  Pro-Forma financial information

     The unaudited pro-forma condensed balance sheet and the unaudited pro-form
     condensed statement of income of FFC set forth below give effect, using the
     pooling-of-interests method of accounting, to the acquisition of KHG. This
     pro-forma information is based upon an exchange ratio of 2.288 shares of
     FFC common stock for each share of KHG common stock (the exchange ratio
     reflects the impact of the 5-for-4 stock split declared by FFC on April 14,
     1998). The unaudited pro-forma combined balance sheet is presented as
     though the merger between FFC and KHG was consummated as of December 31,
     1997. The unaudited pro-forma combined condensed statement of income is
     presented as though the merger was consummated at the beginning of 1997.

     The unaudited pro forma financial information, including the notes thereto
     set forth below, is not necessarily indicative of the financial condition
     or results of operations of FFC as they would have been had the acquisition
     of KHG occurred during the period presented or as they may be in the
     future. The unaudited pro forma financial information set forth below
     should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and footnotes
     to financial statements of FFC, included in Items 8 and 14 of FFC's Annual
     Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1997, which are
     hereby incorporated by reference, and the financial statements of KHG,
     including the notes thereto, which are included in this Current Report
     under Item 7(a).

     Unaudited pro-forma financial information for the years ended December 31,
     1996 and 1995 was previously filed with FFC's Registration Statement on
     Form S-4 (File No. 333-41335) under the caption "Pro-Forma Combined
     Financial Information," and is hereby incorporated by reference.
