                         INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANT'S REPORT


Board of Directors
Orrstown Financial Services, Inc.
Shipppensburg, Pennsylvania


    We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Orrstown
Financial Services, Inc. and it's subsidiaries as of June 30, 2002 and the
related consolidated statements of income for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2002 and 2001 and consolidated statements of comprehensive income for
the three and six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 and consolidated
statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2002. 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.
