PART I
Item 1. Business:
Community Banks, Inc. (Corporation) is a bank holding company whose banking
subsidiaries are Community Banks, N.A. (CBNA) and Peoples State Bank (PSB) and
whose non-banking subsidiaries are Community Banks Investments, Inc. (CBII)
and Community Banks Life Insurance Company, Inc. (CBLIC).
The Corporation conducts a full service commercial banking business and
provides trust services in Adams County, Dauphin County, southern Luzerne
County, Northumberland County, western Schuylkill County, Snyder County, and
York County. The Corporation currently has 29 offices. There are 58
offices of commercial banks and savings and loan associations within its market
area with which the Corporation competes. Deposits of the Corporation represent
approximately 14% of the total deposits in the market area. The Corporation
has 1 office in Adams County, 7 offices in Dauphin County, 3 offices in Luzerne
County, 2 offices in Northumberland County, 10 offices in Schuylkill County, 1
office in Snyder County, and 5 offices in York County. On March 31, 1998,
Community Banks, Inc. completed its merger of the Peoples State Bank of East
Berlin. PSB's banking offices are located in Dover, Hanover, and Manchester,
Pennsylvania. The transaction was accounted for as a pooling of interests.
Like other depository institutions, the Corporation has been subjected to
competition from brokerage firms, money market funds, consumer finance and
credit card companies and other companies providing financial services and
credit to consumers. As a result of federal legislation, regulatory restrictions
previously imposed on the Bank with respect to establishing money market fund
accounts have been eliminated and the Bank is now better able to compete with
other financial institutions in its service area with respect to interest
rates paid on time and savings deposits, service charges on deposit accounts
and interest rates charged on loans.
During 1986 the Corporation formed CBLIC to provide credit life insurance
to its consumer credit borrowers. Total premiums earned were $493,000 for the
year ended December 31, 1998. During 1985 the Corporation formed CBII to make
investments primarily in equity securities of other banks. Total assets of
CBII at December 31, 1998 were $4,462,000.
The Corporation has approximately 400 full and part-time employees and
considers its employee relations to be satisfactory.
Community Banks, Inc. is registered as a bank holding company with the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System in accordance with the
requirements of the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956. It is subject to
regulation by the Federal Reserve Board and the Comptroller of the Currency.
In 1989, the Federal Reserve Board issued final risk-based capital
guidelines for bank holding companies which were phased in through December 31,
1992. The intent of regulatory capital guidelines is to measure capital
adequacy based upon the credit risk of various assets and off-balance sheet
items. Risk categories, weighted at 0%, 20%, 50% and 100%, are specifically
identified. The sum of the results of each such category is then related to the
adjusted capital account of the Corporation. A minimum required capital ratio
at December 31, 1998, was 8 percent. The Bank's December 31, 1998 ratio
approximated 14%. Subsequently, in August 1990 the board announced approval of
capital to total assets (leverage) guidelines. This minimum leverage ratio was
set at 4% and would apply only to those banking organizations receiving a
regulatory composite 1 rating. Most banking organizations will be required to
maintain a leverage ratio ranging from 1 to 2 percentage points above the
minimum standard. The Corporation's leverage ratio at December 31, 1998,
approximated 9%. Risk-based capital requirements replace previous capital
guidelines which established minimum primary and total capital requirements.
The following summarizes the Corporation's capital adequacy position:
Required
Bank Regulatory Capital
(in thousands) December 31, 1998 December 31, 1998
Risk-based capital $81,767 14.0% $46,745 8.0%

The Corporation monitors investment performance and valuation on an ongoing
basis to evaluate investment quality. An investment which has experienced a
decline in market value considered to be other than temporary is written down to
its net realizable value and the amount of the write down is accounted for as a
realized loss.

The Corporation's loan activity is principally with customers located within the
local market area. The Corporation continues to maintain a diversified loan
portfolio and has no significant loan concentration in any economic sector.
Changes in loan demand in 1998 resulted in increases in commercial, financial,
and agricultural loans and personal-installment loans of 22.8% and 10.8%,
respectively. Real estate loans increased 12.1% during this same period.
Commercial, financial, and agricultural loans represented 12.8% of total loans
at December 31, 1998 and consist principally of commercial lending secured by
financial assets of businesses including account receivables, inventories and
equipment, and, in most cases, include liens or real estate. Real estate
construction and mortgage loans are primarily 1 to 4 family residential loans
secured by residential properties within the bank's market area. Personal-
installment loans comprised 19.0% of total loans at December 31, 1998 and
consist principally of secured loans for items such as automobiles, property
improvement, household and other consumer goods. The Corporation continues to
sell fixed rate mortgages in the secondary market to avoid associated interest
rate risk. Historically, relative credit risk of commercial, financial and
agricultural loans has generally been greater than that of other types of loans.

<FN>
<F1> The determination to discontinue the accrual of interest on nonperforming
loans is made on the individual case basis. Such factors as the character and
size of the loan, quality of the collateral and the historical creditworthiness
of the borrower and/or guarantors are considered by management in assessing the
collectibility of such amounts.
The approximate amount that would have been accrued on those loans for
which interest was discontinued in 1998 was $358,000. Interest income from
these loans would have approximated $425,000 in 1997.
The change in nonperforming loans is primarily a result of the impact of
economic conditions upon the loan portfolio. The economic outlook remains
uncertain. If the economy in the Corporation's trading area improves this
could have a positive impact on delinquency trends and collectibility of loans.
However, the commercial real estate market in the Corporation's trading area
remains stagnant. The ability of borrowers to liquidate collateral is
dependent upon the demand for commercial real estate projects and a buyer's
ability to finance commercial real estate projects.

The allowance for loan losses is based upon management's continuing evaluation
of the loan portfolio. A review as to loan quality, current macro-economic
conditions and delinquency status is performed at least on a quarterly basis.
The provision for loan losses is adjusted quarterly based upon current
review. The table on page 10 presents an allocation by loan categories of the
allowance for loan losses at December 31 for the last five years. In
retrospect, the specific allocation in any particular category may prove
excessive or inadequate and consequently may be reallocated in the future to
reflect the then current condition. Accordingly, the entire allowance is
available to absorb losses in any category.
As discussed in the Corporation's Annual Report, the Corporation adopted SFAS
114, as amended by SFAS 118, on January 1, 1995. The adoption of SFAS 114 did
not result in any additional provision for loan losses.
The provision for loan losses totalled $1,464,000 for the year ended December
31, 1998 compared to $1,317,000, $1,567,000, $1,078,000, and $1,912,000 for
the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996, 1995, and 1994, respectively. The
relationship of the allowance for loan losses to loans at year end
approximated 1.38% compared to ratios of 1.36% to 1.42% for the previous four
years. In reviewing the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, management
considered the relationship of nonaccrual loans, other real estate owned, and
accruing loans contractually past due 90 days or more to total assets. This
relationship approximated .56%, .93%, 1.03%, .99%, and 1.13% at year-end 1998,
1997, 1996, 1995, and 1994, respectively.

INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY
The excess of interest-earning assets over interest-bearing liabilities which
are expected to mature or reprice within a given period is commonly referred
to as the "GAP" for that period. For an institution with a negative GAP, the
amount of income earned on its assets fluctuates less than the cost of its
liabilities in response to changes in the prevailing rates of interest during
the period. Accordingly, in a period of decreasing interest rates, institutions
with a negative GAP will experience a smaller decrease in the yield on their
assets than in the cost of their liabilities. Conversely, in a period of
rising interest rates, institutions with a negative GAP face a smaller increase
in the yield on their assets than in the cost of their liabilities. A
decreasing interest rate environment is favorable to institutions with a
negative GAP because more of their liabilities than their assets adjust during
the period and, accordingly, the decrease in the cost of their liabilities is
greater than the decrease in the yield on their assets.
The positive GAP between the Corporation's interest-earning assets and
interest-bearing liabilities maturing or repricing within one year approximated
2% of total assets at December 31, 1998.
Significant maturity/repricing assumptions (based on internal analysis) include

Forward-Looking Statements:
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,
the Corporation'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 key 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 which the Corporation 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, environments; natural disasters; the inability to hedge
certain risks economically; the adequacy of loan reserves;
acquisitions or restructurings' technological changes; in
consumer spending and savings habits; and the success of the
Corporation in managing the risks involved in the foregoing.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Community Banks, Inc. has only a limited involvement with
derivative financial instruments and does not use them for
trading purposes. The business of the Corporation and the
composition of its balance sheet consists of investments in
interest-earning assets (primarily loans, mortgage-backed
securities and investment securities) which are primarily funded
by interest-bearing liabilities (deposits and borrowings). Such
financial instruments have varying levels of sensitivity to
changes in market interest rates resulting in market risk. Other
than loans which are originated and held for sale, all of the
financial instruments of the Corporation are for other than
trading purposes.
Interest rate sensitivity results when the maturity or
repricing intervals are interest rate indices of the
interest-earning assets, interest-bearing liabilities, and
off-balance sheet financial instruments are different, creating a
risk that changes in the level of market interest rates will
result in disproportionate changes in the value of, and the net
earnings generated from, the Corporation's interest-earning
assets, interest-bearing liabilities, and off-balance sheet
financial instruments. the Corporation's exposure to interest
rate sensitivity is managed primarily through the Corporation's
strategy of selecting the types and terms of interest-earning
assets and interest-bearing liabilities which generate favorable
earnings, while limiting the potential negative effects of
changes in market interest rates. Since the Corporation's primary
source of interest-bearing liabilities is customer deposits, it's
ability to manage the types and terms of such deposits may be
-12-
somewhat limited by customer preferences in the market areas in
which it operates. Borrowings, which include Federal Home Loan
Bank (FHLB) advances and short-term loans, subordinated notes,
and other short-term and long-term borrowings are generally
structured with specific terms which in management's judgement,
when aggregated with the terms for outstanding deposits and
matched with interest-earning assets, mitigate the Corporation's
exposure to interest rate sensitivity.
The rates, terms and interest rate indices of the
Corporation's interest-earning assets result primarily from
its strategy on investing in loans and securities (a
substantial portion of which have adjustable-rate terms)
which permit the Corporation to limit its exposure to
interest rate sensitivity, together with credit risk, while
at the same time achieving a positive interest rate spread
from the difference between the interest-bearing
liabilities.
Significant Assumptions Utilized in Managing Interest Rate
Sensitivity
Managing the Corporation's exposure to interest rate
sensitivity involves significant assumptions about the
exercise of imbedded options and the relationship of various
interest rate indices of certain financial instruments.
Imbedded Options
A substantial portion of the Corporation's loans and
mortgage-backed securities and residential mortgage loans
containing significant imbedded options which permit the
borrower to prepay the principal balance of the loan prior
to maturity ("prepayments") without penalty. A loan's
propensity for prepayment is dependent upon a number of
factors, including the current interest rate and interest
rate index, (if any) of the loan, the financial ability of
the borrower to refinance, the economic benefit to be
obtained from refinancing, availability of refinancing at
attractive terms, as well as economic and other factors in
specific geographic areas which affect the sales and price
levels of residential property. In a changing interest
rate environment, prepayments may increase or decrease on
fixed and adjustable-rate loans depending on the current
relative levels and expectations of future short and
long-term interest rates. Since a significant portion of the
Corporation's loans are variable rate loans, prepayments on
such loans generally increase when long-term interest rates
fall or are at historically low levels relative to
short-term interest rates making fixed-rate loans more
desirable.
Investment securities, other than those with early call
provisions, generally do not have significant imbedded
options and repay pursuant to specific terms until maturity,
While savings and checking deposits generally may be
withdrawn upon the customer's request without prior notice,
a continuing relationship with customers resulting in future
deposits and withdrawals is generally predictable resulting
in a dependable and uninterrupted source of funds. Time
deposits generally have early withdrawal penalties, while
term FHLB borrowings and subordinated notes have prepayment
penalties, which discourage customer withdrawal of time
deposits and prepayment of FHLB borrowings and subordinated
notes prior to maturity.
-13-
Interest Rate Indices
The Corporation's loans and mortgage-backed securities are primarily indexed to
the national interest indices. When such loans and mortgage-backed securities
are funded by interest-bearing liabilities which are determined by other
indices, primarily deposits and FHLB borrowings, a changing interest rate
environment may result in different levels of changes in the different indices
leading to disproportionate changes in the value of, and net earnings
generated from, the Corporation's financial instruments. Each index is unique
and is influenced by different external factors, therefore, the historical
relationships in various indices may not be indicative of the actual change
which may result in a changing interest rate environment.
Interest Rate Sensitivity Measurement
In addition to periodic gap reports comparing the sensitivity of interest-
earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities to changes in interest rates,
management also utilizes a quarterly report which measures the Corporation's
exposure to interest rate risk. The model calculates the present value of
assets, liabilities and equity at current interest rates, and at hypothetical
higher and lower interest rates at one percent intervals. The present value of
each major category of financial instrument is calculated by the model using
estimated cash flows based on prepayments, early withdrawals, weighted average
contractual rates and terms, and discount rates for similar financial
instruments. The resulting present value of longer term fixed-rate financial
instruments are more sensitive to change in a higher or lower interest rate
scenario, while adjustable-rate financial instruments largely reflect only a
change in present value representing the difference between the contractual
and discounted rates until the next interest rate repricing date.
The following table reflects the estimated present value of assets, liabilities
and equity financial instruments using the model for Community Banks, Inc. as
of December 31, 1998 consolidated with the estimated present values of other
financial instruments of the Corporation, at current interest rates and
hypothetical higher and lower interest rates of one and two percent.

Item 11. Executive Compensation:
Information regarding executive compensation is omitted from this report as
the holding company will file a definitive proxy statement for its annual
meeting of shareholders to be held May 4, 1999; and the information included
therein with respect to this item is incorporated herein by reference.
Pension Plan:
CBNA maintains a pension plan for its employees. An employee becomes a
participant in the pension plan on January 1 or July 1 after completion of one
year of service (12 continuous months) and attainment of the age 21 years. The
cost of the pension is actuarially determined and paid by the CBNA. The amount
of monthly pension is equal to 1.15% of average monthly pay up to $650, plus
.60% of average monthly pay in excess of $650, multiplied by the number of
years of service completed by an employee. The years of service for the
additional portion are limited to a maximum of 37. Average monthly pay is
based upon the 5 consecutive plan years of highest pay preceding retirement.
The maximum amount of annual compensation used in determining retirement
benefits is $160,000. A participant is eligible for early retirement after
attainment of the age of 60 years and the completion of 5 years of service.
The early retirement benefit is the actuarial equivalent of the pension
accrued to the date of early retirement. As of December 31, 1998, the
following officers have been credited with the following years of service:
Ernest L. Lowe-14 years of service, Robert W. Lawley-23 years of service, and
Terry L. Burrows-25 years of service.
The amounts shown on the following table assume an annual retirement
benefit for an employee who chose a straight-line annuity and who is presently
50 years old and who will retire at the age of 65 years.
