- --------------
At September 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999, the recorded investment in
loans for which impairment has been recognized in accordance with FAS 114
totalled $5,602,000and $3,990,000, respectively, none of which related to loans
requiring a valuation allowance. For the nine months ended September 30, 2000,
the average recorded investment in impaired loans approximated $4,725,000. The
average balance for 1999 approximated $3,736,000. Interest recognized on
impaired loans on the cash basis for the nine month periods ending September 30,
2000 and 1999 was not significant.

4. Statement of Cash Flows
Cash and cash equivalents include cash and due from banks and federal funds
sold. The company made cash payments of $3,325,000 and $3,075,000 and
$29,714,000 and $23,325,000 for income taxes and interest, respectively, for
each of the nine month periods ended September 30, 2000 and 1999.

$490,000, respectively. The company also recorded a decrease in deferred tax
assets of $1,183,000 in 2000. An increase in deferred tax assets of $3,460,000

The most significant component of operating revenue is net interest income.
Net interest income is the interest income generated by earning assets reduced
by the interest expense applicable to interest-bearing liabilities. Appropriate
management of this relationship in varying interest rate and economic
environments is critical to the Corporation.
Net interest income after provision for loan losses for the first nine
months of 2000 was $2,386,000 or 9.9% greater than 1999. Total interest income
for the first nine months increased $9,830,000 or 20.3% while total interest
expense increased $6,802,000 or 29.0% over the comparable period of 1999. The
amount of net interest income and total interest income are dependent on many
factors including the volume of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities,
the level of and changes in interest rates and levels of non-performing assets.
The cost of interest-bearing liabilities changes with the amount of funds
necessary to support earning assets, the rates paid to attract and maintain
deposits, rates paid on borrowed funds and the level of non-interest bearing
demand deposits and equity capital. The increases in net interest income and
total interest income were impacted by an increase in average earning assets of
approximately $119,890,000 or 14.1% while average interest-bearing liabilities
increased $130,581,000 or 17.1% for the first nine months of 2000 over the
comparable period of 1999. Impacting the increase in average earning assets in
2000 was an increase in average investment securities of $25,413,000 or 8.2%.
Also affecting earning assets were increases in average loan balances of
$94,572,000 or 18.0%. Affecting the increase in average interest-bearing
liabilities were increases in average savings deposits of $10,317,000 or 3.9%,
increases in average time deposits of $77,236,000 or 18.9%, and increases in
average long- term debt of $41,989,000 or 26.1%. The average yields realized on
earning assets for the first nine months approximated 8.3% and 8.0% in 2000 and
1999, respectively. The average costs on interest-bearing liabilities
approximated 4.5% and 4.1% in 2000 and 1999, respectively. Net interest margins,
on a tax equivalent basis for the first nine months approximated 4.1% and 4.2%
in 2000 and 1999, respectively. The provision for loan losses charged to income
increased $642,000 or 81.6% in 2000. Total loans past due 90 days and still
accruing interest, non-performing loans, and other real estate approximated
$6,976,000 and $4,621,000, respectively, as of September 30, 2000 and 1999. A
significant portion of this increase is deemed to be temporary in nature. The
balance of the allowance for loan losses increased from $7,365,000 at September
30, 1999 to $8,254,000 at September 30, 2000.
Total other income for the first nine months of 2000 was $1,326,000 or
31.4% more than total other income for the first nine months of 1999. Affecting
this change were increases in trust department income of $95,000 or 27.2% and
increases in service charges on deposit accounts and other service charges,
commissions, and fees of $889,000 or 40.1%. These changes reflect management's
continuing emphasis on sources of non-interest income. Investment security gains
increased $231,000 or 181.9% in 2000 while gains on mortgage sales decreased
$260,000 or 51.2%. Insurance premium income increased $335,000 or 59.9% while
all other income increased $36,000 or 7.7%. Loans held for sale are comprised
for the most part of fixed-rate real estate and education loans extended
specifically for resale. Demand for these products has been lower in 2000 than
1999. Loans held for sale as of September 30, 2000 totaled $4,197,000. The
market value of these loans approximated book value at that time.
Total other expenses for the first nine months of 2000 increased $2,366,000
or 13.9%. Contributing factors were increases of $1,249,000 or 13.7% in salaries
and employee benefits, $520,000 or 21.1% in net occupancy expense, and $590,000
or 11.7% in other operating expense. These increases were affected by the
opening of new banking offices and the employment of additional lending and
trust personnel.
The provision for income taxes increased $538,000 or 20.2% for the first
nine months of 2000 in comparison to the first nine months of 1999. Affecting
this change was a decrease in the amount of tax-free income recognized in 2000.
The effective tax rates approximated 25.2% and 23.5% for the respective periods.
The previously described factors contributed to a net increase of $808,000
or 9.3% in net income for the nine month period ended September 30, 2000.
The significant changes and related causes which occurred during the three
month period ending September 30, 2000 were generally consistent with those
described for the nine month period ending September 30, 2000. Net investment
security gains of $140,000 were recognized in the third quarter of 2000, while
net investment security gains of $3,000 were recognized in 1999. Gains on loan
sales were $90,000 and $94,000, respectively, for the three month periods ending
September 30, 2000 and 1999.

Financial Condition
- -------------------
The Corporation's financial condition can be examined in terms of
developing trends in its sources and uses of funds. These trends are the result
of both external environmental factors, such as changing economic conditions,
regulatory changes and competition, and internal environmental factors such as
management's evaluation as to the best use of funds under these changing
conditions.

Management's Discussion, Continued
- ----------------------------------
As of September 30, 2000 cash and due from banks was $4,438,000 or 15.3%
greater than it was at December 31, 1999. Interest-bearing time deposits in
other banks and investment securities increased $34,161,000 or 10.9% while fed
funds sold decreased $1,708,000. The approximate market value of debt securities
was $12,976,000 less than amortized cost at September 30, 2000. The approximate
market value of debt securities was $17,357,000 less than amortized cost at
December 31, 1999. Securities to be held for indefinite periods of time and not
intended to be held to maturity or on a long-term basis are classified as
available for sale and carried at market value. Securities held for indefinite
periods of time include securities that management intends to use as part of its
asset/liability management strategy and that may be sold in response to changes
in interest rates, resultant prepayment risk and other factors related to
interest rate and resultant prepayment risk changes. At September 30, 2000 and
December 31, 1999, management classified investment securities with amortized
costs and market values of $360,252,000 and $346,944,000 and $328,763,000 and
$312,075,000, respectively, as available for sale. Net loans increased
$94,898,000 or 16.3% from December 31, 1999 to September 30, 2000. Affecting
this change were increases in real estate loans of $62,844,000 or 16.6% and
commercial loans of $27,497,000 or 26.6%. The allowance for loan losses
approximated 1.20% and 1.27% of net loans at September 30, 2000 and December 31,
1999, respectively. The increase of $2,090,000 or 13.6% in premises and
equipment was affected by the establishment of new banking offices. Goodwill
continues to be amortized at an annualized rate of $240,000. As previously
noted, Community Banks, Inc. sells only fixed-rate real estate and education
loans specifically designated for resale on the secondary market and at
September 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999 these loans totaled $4,197,000 and
$4,004,000, respectively. Affecting the increase of $3,158,000 in accrued
interest receivable and other assets were increases in bank owned life insurance
of $5,181,000 and a decrease in deferred tax assets associated with unrealized
securities losses of $1,183,000. These factors contributed to an increase of
$137,199,000 or 14.1% in total assets from December 31, 1999 to September 30,
2000.
Total deposits increased $98,393,000 or 14.2% from December 31, 1999 to
September 30, 2000. Contributing to this increase were increases of $14,788,000
or 26.7% in demand deposits, $19,642,000 or 7.4% in savings deposits and
$63,963,000 or 17.2% in total time deposits. New certificate of deposit products
affected the significant increase in time deposits.
At September 30, 2000 long-term debt totaling $218,725,000 included
borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh of $208,000,000 and
repurchase agreements totaling $10,000,000 at a weighted average interest rate
of 5.92%.
Based on a one year interval, the relationship of rate sensitive assets to
rate sensitive liabilities approximated 95% as of September 30, 2000.
As of September 30, 2000 the Corporation had risk-based capital in excess
of the fully implemented regulatory requirements, and tier 1 plus tier 2 capital
approximated 11.2% of risk-weighted assets.
Liquidity
- ---------
Liquidity is the ratio of net liquid assets to net liabilities. The primary
functions of asset/liability management are the assurance of adequate liquidity
and maintenance of an appropriate balance between interest-sensitive earning
assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Liquidity management refers to the
ability to meet the cash flow requirements of depositors and borrowers.
-13-
Management's Discussion, Continued
- ----------------------------------
A continuous review of net liquid assets is conducted to assure appropriate
cash flow to meet needs and obligations in a timely manner. There was an
adequate relationship of liquid assets to short-term liabilities at September
30, 2000.
Forward Outlook
- ---------------
Management is unaware of any regulatory recommendations which, if
implemented, would have a material effect on the liquidity, capital resources,
or operations of Community Banks, Inc. Adequate loan demand is anticipated for
the remainder of 2000 and management will continue to carefully evaluate this
demand based on the creditworthiness of the borrower and relative strength of
the economy in the Corporation's market.
