Earnings per share increased to $3.14 per share for 2002 from $2.62 per share for 2001. Dividends increased to $1.35 per share for 2002 from $1.25 per share for 2001. Total Assets increased to $497 million at year end 2002 from $483 million at year end 2001. Total Deposits increased to $415 million at year end 2002 from $407 million at year end 2001. Capital increased to $59 million at year end 2002 from $55 million at year end 2001. These record results came as we celebrated the 100th year of Penn Security Bank's service to our community. A number of special events marked our recognition of this centennial year. Beginning on New Year's Eve 2001, we were the major sponsor of the First Night Celebration in Scranton. Literally, thousands of people were entertained in our Central City office lobby as clowns, face painting and storytellers amused children. Then opera arias and popular songs entertained classical music enthusiasts and finally "The Magics", a "doo wop" band, entertained until 11:30 PM, followed by a gigantic fireworks display at midnight. Adding to the excitement was the commencement of the external illumination of our Central City office. In March, the Bank entered a float in the St. Patrick's Day parade in Scranton, displaying our one hundred years of service to the thousands of people lining the parade route. In May, coinciding with the 100th Anniversary of the filing of the application to form a bank with the Pennsylvania Department of Banking, we held a "Customers' Week" in our branches, offering coffee, doughnuts and other refreshments. In August, the week in which, 100 years prior, the Bank received its charter to operate, we had another Customers' Week with prizes from drawings and special treats at the branches. October 1, exactly 100 years from the first day of business of the Bank, we hosted a dinner for major shareholders, depositors, directors, executive officers, borrowers and dignitaries. Silver anniversary commemorative coins and a 100th Anniversary booklet, detailing the history of the Bank, were given out. Finally, the year ended with another First Night Celebration on New Year's Eve 2002 with "The Magics" and "The Irish Balladeers" entertaining in our Central City office lobby. While we celebrated our anniversary, we were mindful of what was happening in the economy and indeed, the world. The Federal Reserve, having lowered short-term rates eleven times in 2001, lowered them again in 2002. Prime Rate, at the end of 2002 stood at 4.25%, down from 9.50% at the beginning of 2001. Long term rates also have declined dramatically, with 15 year and 30 year home mortgage rates at 5 3/8% and 6%, respectively. The economy and equity markets are still in a state of shock from the dramatic decline in equity prices caused by the confluence of the ending of a market bubble, economic recession, terrorist acts, possible war and certain tax law changes creating federal deficits and proving to be ineffective in stimulating the economy. As a result, we have experienced a flood of present and new customers refinancing loans to take advantage of lower rates. As we anticipate that current rates, now at 40 year lows, will begin to rise when the economy begins to accelerate, we have been selling all low-yield, fixed-rate residential mortgage loans into the secondary market, although we have been retaining the servicing on these loans. Although providing revenue in the form of gains on the sale of these loans, it has resulted in a decline in the amount of loans outstanding in our loan portfolio, which has proved difficult to replace with shorter term or variable rate loans. We have been working on several types of new loan products to help fill the gap. In addition, we continue to evaluate the addition of new fee generating services in the Bank. In July of 2002, the Federal Government enacted the Sarbanes-Oxley Act as a result of a number of high profile accounting irregularities and unethical practices at a number of large corporations. The purpose of this Act was to restore the confidence of investors that information in quarterly and annual reports was accurate. This Act, as it applies to our Corporation, will require, among other things: - - Certifications by our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of our financial statements. - - Reporting of insider trades within two business days of transaction. - - The Audit Committee is to be made up of "independent" directors. - - A disclosure whether the Audit Committee has a "financial expert" on it, and if not, why it does not. - - Establishment of a "whistleblower" procedure whereby employees can report irregularities to the Audit Committee, anonymously. - - The Audit Committee must have the ability to hire separate legal counsel. - - The Audit firm may not be hired to do non-audit work, other than certain specific items. - - Severe penalties for false certifications. - - A disclosure of whether there is a Company policy regarding ethics and conflicts of interest, applicable to corporate officers. The audit program at our organization has always been strong. We have our own, full-time, internal auditor reporting to the Audit Committee who has a staff of four full-time assistants. In addition, a firm of Certified Public Accountants is hired by the Audit Committee to perform an external audit and certify our financial statements. In addition to that, since we are a banking company, we are examined every year on an alternate basis by either the Pennsylvania Department of Banking or the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Our four member Audit Committee includes 2 Penseco Financial Services Corporation / 2002 Annual Report three members with substantial education and experience in accounting and financial management, of which, one is a Chief Executive Officer of a company, one is a Chief Financial Officer of a company and one is a former Executive Vice-President of our organization. The Audit Committee, as well as the entire Board of Directors, are ethical people who will "stand up and blow the whistle" if anything is wrong. We are not sure whether any of them fit the definition of "audit committee financial expert", but we think that they have the expertise to assure that our financial statements are fairly presented. The Company has had for many years a Code of Ethics applicable to all employees including the Company's principal Executive Officer and principal Financial Officer (Controller). The purpose of the Code is to promote honest and ethical conduct, full and fair disclosures of financial information, compliance with laws and regulations and accountability for actions. During the year, the following appointments and promotions were made: Linda Wolf, Assistant Director of Human Resources, Louis J. Rizzo, Assistant Vice-President, Brokerage, Mark J. Zakoski, Assistant Vice-President, Brokerage, John R. Anderson III, Assistant Vice-President, Loan Administration, Carol J. Grunza, Loan Administration Officer and Robin L. Jenkins, Assistant Branch Operations Officer. These people are to be congratulated on their achievements. Also during the year, Gerard P. Vasil, who had been Manager of our Data Processing Department, retired after 25 years of dedicated service to the Bank. This year we also lost the valued service of two of our Advisory Board members due to the deaths of Attorney Patrick Mellody, from our Green Ridge office, and Mary Citro, from our East Stroudsburg office. We think that our strong capital position, good earnings, advanced technology and solid customer base, both in our traditional geographic market and niche national markets, provide an excellent foundation for our continued success. In this endeavor you can help us by recommending us to your family, friends, and business organizations. This is your institution - let it serve you. Sincerely yours, Otto P.

The Company became a holding company upon the acquisition of all of the outstanding shares of Penn Security Bank and Trust Company (the "Bank"), a state chartered bank, on December 31, 1997. The Company is subject to supervision by the Federal Reserve Board. The Bank, as a state chartered financial institution, is subject to supervision by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Pennsylvania Department of Banking. The Company's principal banking office is located at 150 North Washington Avenue, Scranton, Pennsylvania, containing trust, investor services, marketing, audit, credit card, human resources, executive, data processing and central bookkeeping offices. There are eight additional offices. Through it's banking subsidiary, the Company generates interest income from it's outstanding loans receivable and it's investment portfolio. Other income is generated primarily from merchant transaction fees, trust fees and service charges on deposit accounts. The Company's primary costs are interest paid on deposits and general operating expenses. The Bank provides a variety of commercial and retail banking services to business and professional customers, as well as retail customers, on a personalized basis. The Bank's primary lending products are real estate, commercial and consumer loans. The Bank also offers ATM access, credit cards, active investment accounts, trust department services and other various lending, depository and related financial services. The Bank's primary deposit products are savings and demand deposit accounts and certificates of deposit. The Bank has a third party marketing agreement with Fiserv Investor Services, Inc. that allows the bank to offer a full range of securities, brokerage and annuity sales to it's customers. The investor services division is located in the headquarters building and the services are offered throughout the entire branch system. The Company is not dependent upon a single customer, or a few customers, the loss of one or more of which would have a material adverse effect on it's operations. The operations and earnings of the Corporation are not materially affected by seasonal changes or by Federal, state or local environmental laws or regulations. COMPETITION The Bank operates in a competitive environment in which it must share its market with many local independent banks as well as several banks which are affiliates or branches of very large regional holding companies. The Bank encounters competition from diversified financial institutions, ranging in size from small banks to the nationwide banks operating in it's region, and include commercial banks, savings and loan associations, credit unions and other lending institutions. The principal competitive factors among the Bank's competitors can be grouped into two categories: pricing and services. In the Bank's primary service area, interest rates on deposits, especially time deposits, and interest rates and fees charged to customers on loans are very competitive. From a service perspective, the Bank competes in areas such as convenience of location, types of services, service costs and banking hours. EMPLOYEES As of February 14, 2003, the Company employed 202 full-time equivalent employees. The employees of the Company are not represented by any collective bargaining group. Management of the Company considers relations with its employees to be good. SUPERVISION AND REGULATION The Company is registered as a bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, and, as such, is subject to supervision and regulation by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "Federal Reserve Board" or "FRB").

Penseco Financial Services Corporation / 2002 Annual Report 9 As a financial holding company, the Company is permitted to engage in banking-related activities as authorized by the Federal Reserve Board, directly or through subsidiaries or by acquiring companies already established in such activities subject to the FRB regulations relating to those activities.

This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto. All information is presented in thousands of dollars, except as indicated. SUMMARY Net earnings for 2002 totalled $6,753, an increase of 20.1% from the $5,622 earned in 2001, which in turn was an increase of 18.5% from the $4,743 earned in 2000. Net earnings per share were $3.14 in 2002, compared with $2.62 in 2001 and $2.21 in 2000. Net earnings for 2002 increased from 2001 results due to an increase in the net interest income, fee income, mainly from the sale of non-portfolio mortgages and the sale of U.S. Agency securities, offset by an increase in operating costs, primarily salaries and employee benefits and applicable income tax expense. Net earnings for 2001 increased from 2000 results due to an increase in the net interest margin. Also, fee income increased, offset by increases in operating costs and applicable income tax expense.

Net interest income was $19.9 million in 2002, compared with $19.3 million in 2001, an increase of 3.1%. The increase in net interest income in 2002 resulted from an increase in interest-earning assets. Also, the Company had increases in its deposit transaction accounts, which have the lowest carrying costs. Net interest income was $19.3 million in 2001, compared with $17.3 million in 2000, an increase of 11.6%. The increase in net interest income in 2001 resulted from increases in loan income, increases in securities income, along with lower funding costs mainly due to the Federal Reserve Bank reducing short term interest rates eleven times during the year. Net interest income, when expressed as a percentage of average interest-earning assets, is referred to as net interest margin. The Company's net interest margin for the year ended December 31, 2002 was 4.2% compared with 4.3% for the year ended December 31, 2001, and 4.1% for the year ended December 31, 2000. Interest income in 2002 totalled $27.9 million, compared to $31.9 million in 2001, decreasing 12.5% from the prior year. The yield on average interest-earning assets was 5.9% in 2002, compared to 7.1% in 2001. Average interest-earning assets increased in 2002 to $472.8 million from $450.0 million in 2001. Average loans, which are the Company's highest yielding earning assets, decreased $9.3 million in 2002, while investment securities increased on average by $13.7 million. Average loans represented 67.0% of 2002 average interest-earning assets, compared to 72.4% in 2001. Interest expense also decreased in 2002 to $8.0 million from $12.5 million in 2001, a decrease of $4.5 million or 36.0%. This decrease resulted from the Federal Reserve cutting short term interest rates in late 2001 due to the economy showing anemic growth. The average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities during 2002 was 2.2%, compared to 3.5% a decrease of 37.1% from 2001. Interest income in 2001 totalled $31.9 million, compared to $31.0 million in 2000, increasing 2.9% from the prior year. The yield on average interest-earning assets was 7.1% in 2001, compared to 7.3% in 2000. Average interest-earning assets increased in 2001 to $450.0 million from $424.9 million in 2000. Average loans, which are the Company's highest yielding earning assets, increased $28.5 million in 2001, while investment securities increased on average by $7.7 million. Average loans represented 72.4% of 2001 average interest-earning assets, compared to 70.0% in 2000. Interest expense also decreased in 2001 to $12.5 million from $13.7 million in 2000, a decrease of $1.2 million or 8.8%. This decrease resulted from the Federal Reserve cutting short term interest rates due to the economy slipping into a recession. The average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities during 2001 was 3.5%, compared to 4.0% a decrease of 12.5% from 2000. The most significant impact on net interest income between periods is derived from the interaction of changes in the volume of and rates earned or paid on interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. The volume of earning dollars in loans and investments, compared to the volume of interest-bearing liabilities represented by deposits and borrowings, combined with the spread, produces the changes in net interest income between periods.

The process of determining the adequacy of the allowance is necessarily judgmental and subject to changes in external conditions. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that existing levels of the allowance will ultimately prove adequate to cover actual loan losses. OTHER INCOME The following table sets forth information by category of other income for the Company for the past three years: Years Ended December 31, 2002 2001 2000 - ---------------------------------------------------------------- Trust department income $ 1,266 $ 1,233 $ 1,329 Service charges on deposit accounts 1,123 1,126 718 Merchant transaction income 5,519 5,331 5,354 Other fee income 1,562 1,291 975 Other operating income 553 231 211 Realized gains (losses) on securities, net 1,009 (26) (354) - ---------------------------------------------------------------- Total Other Income $ 11,032 $ 9,186 $ 8,233 ================================================================ Total other income increased $1,846 or 20.1% during 2002 to $11,032 from $9,186 for 2001. Components of this increase include $1,009 from the gain on the sale of U.S. Agency securities, merchant transaction income of $188 along with an increase in fee income of $158 due to our brokerage division and a gain on the sale of low-yield, fixed-rate non-portfolio mortgage loans of $444. Total other income increased $953 or 11.6% during 2001 to $9,186 from $8,233 for 2000. Components of this increase include service charges on deposit accounts of $408 or 56.8% mainly due to the ongoing implementation of the recommendations of a cost/revenue study held in the first quarter of 2001, an increase in other fee income of $316 or 32.4% from the same period last year, of which $199 was due to our brokerage division. The loss on the sale of securities in 2001 was $26 compared to a $354 loss in 2000. OTHER EXPENSES The following table sets forth information by category of other expenses for the Company for the past three years: Years Ended December 31, 2002 2001 2000 - ---------------------------------------------------------------- Salaries and employee benefits $ 9,048 $ 8,180 $ 7,951 Occupancy expenses, net 1,384 1,416 1,387 Furniture and equipment expenses 1,208 1,245 1,189 Merchant transaction expenses 4,731 4,636 4,784 Other operating expenses 4,727 4,600 3,995 - ---------------------------------------------------------------- Total Other Expenses $ 21,098 $ 20,077 $ 19,306 ================================================================ Other expenses increased $1,021 or 5.1% for 2002 to $21,098 from $20,077 for 2001. Salaries and employee benefits increased $868 or 10.6% to $9,048 for 2002 from $8,180 for 2001 partly due to staff additions, replacements, merit increases and pension costs. Merchant transaction expenses increased $95, the result of additional volume. Also, other operating expenses increased $127 or 2.8%, mainly due to increased expenses in advertising and other centennial year expenses. Other expenses increased $771 or 4.0% for 2001 to $20,077 from $19,306 for 2000. Salaries and employee benefits increased $229 or 2.9% to $8,180 for 2001 from $7,951 for 2000. Also, other operating expenses increased $605 or 15.1% to $4,600 from $3,995 due to increases in advertising costs associated with our loan growth and non-recurring insurance costs of $117 and $180 in outside consulting services. INCOME TAXES Federal income tax expense increased $387 or 20.7% to $2,256 in 2002 compared to $1,869 in 2001, due to increased operating income. Federal income tax expense increased $573 or 44.2% to $1,869 in 2001 compared to $1,296 in 2000. This was largely the result of increased net income from normal business operations The Company's effective income tax rate for 2002 was 25.0%, the same as 2001. The effective income tax rate for 2001 was 25.0% compared to 21.5% for 2000. This increase resulted from larger tax free income recorded during 2000. For further discussion pertaining to Federal income taxes, see Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. FINANCIAL CONDITION Total assets increased $14.4 million or 3.0% during 2002 to $497.0 million at December 31, 2002 compared to $482.6 million at December 31, 2001. For the year ended December 31, 2001 total assets increased $15.4 million to $482.6 million or a 3.3% increase over $467.2 million at December 31, 2000.

The decrease is due to management's reluctance to carry low-yield, fixed-rate mortgages, while concentrating on increasing variable rate loans. Total net loans increased $15.6 million to $320.2 million at December 31, 2001 from $304.6 million at December 31, 2000, an increase of 5.1%. The increase was due to growth in the Company's real estate and commercial loan portfolios. NET LOANS (in millions) YEAR - ------------------------------------------- $ 285,509 2002 320,208 2001 304,641 2000 278,577 1999 280,389 1998 LOAN QUALITY The lending activities of the Company are guided by the comprehensive lending policy established by the Board of Directors. Loans must meet criteria which include consideration of the character, capacity and capital of the borrower, collateral provided for the loan, and prevailing economic conditions. Regardless of credit standards, there is risk of loss inherent in every loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses is an amount that management believes will be adequate to absorb possible losses on existing loans that may become uncollectible, based on evaluations of the collectibility of the loans. The evaluations take into consideration such factors as change in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality, review of specific problem loans, industry experience, collateral value and current economic conditions that may affect the borrower's ability to pay. Management believes that the allowance for loan losses is adequate. While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans, future additions to the allowance may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Company's allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require the Company to recognize additions to the allowance based on their judgment of information available to them at the time of their examination. The allowance for loan losses is increased by periodic charges against earnings as a provision for loan losses, and decreased periodically by charge-offs of loans (or parts of loans) management has determined to be uncollectible, net of actual recoveries on loans previously charged-off. 18 Penseco Financial Services Corporation / 2002 Annual Report NON-PERFORMING ASSETS Non-performing assets consist of non-accrual loans, loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest and other real estate owned. The following table sets forth information regarding non-performing assets as of the dates indicated: December 31, 2002 2001 2000 1999 1998 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Non-accrual loans $ 2,245 $ 1,917 $ 1,210 $ 836 $ 929 Loans past due 90 days or more and accruing: Guaranteed student loans 394 304 313 476 348 Credit card and home equity loans - 22 23 - 27 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total non-performing loans 2,639 2,243 1,546 1,312 1,304 Other real estate owned 59 143 201 33 111 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total non-performing assets $ 2,698 $ 2,386 $ 1,747 $ 1,345 $ 1,415 ============================================================================================= Loans are generally placed on a non-accrual status when principal or interest is past due 90 days or when payment in full is not anticipated. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, all interest previously accrued but not collected is charged against current income. Loans are returned to accrual status when past due interest is collected and the collection of principal is probable. Loans on which the accrual of interest has been discontinued or reduced amounted to $2,245, $1,917 and $1,210 at December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. If interest on those loans had been accrued, such income would have been $171, $152 and $138 for 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Interest income on those loans, which is recorded only when received, amounted to $77, $86 and $86 for 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. There are no commitments to lend additional funds to individuals whose loans are on non-accrual status. The management process for evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses includes reviewing each month's loan committee reports which list all loans that do not meet certain internally developed criteria as to collateral adequacy, payment performance, economic conditions and overall credit risk. These reports also address the current status and actions in process on each listed loan. From this information, adjustments are made to the allowance for loan losses. Such adjustments include both specific loss allocation amounts and general provisions by loan category based on present and past collection experience, nature and volume of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality, and current economic conditions that may affect the borrower's ability to pay. As of December 31, 2002, there are no significant loans as to which management has serious doubt about their collectibility. At December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, the Company did not have any loans specifically classified as impaired. Most of the Company's lending activity is with customers located in the Company's geographic market area and repayment thereof is affected by economic conditions in this market area.

Company deposits increased $8.2 million to $414.7 million at December 31, 2002 from $406.5 million at December 31, 2001, an increase of 2.0% due to increases in DDA and savings deposits. Company deposits increased $19.1 million to $406.5 million at December 31, 2001 from $387.4 million at December 31, 2000, an increase of 4.9% due to increases in DDA, savings and time deposits. The maturities of time deposits of $100,000 or more are as follows: Three months or less $ 12,226 Over three months through six months 5,495 Over six months through twelve months 5,672 Over twelve months 10,293 --------- Total $ 33,686 ========= DEPOSITS (in millions) YEAR - -------------------------------------- $ 414,664 2002 406,531 2001 387,439 2000 367,332 1999 377,526 1998 ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT The Company's policy is to match its level of rate-sensitive assets and rate-sensitive liabilities within a limited range, thereby reducing its exposure to interest rate fluctuations. While no single measure can completely identify the impact of changes in interest rates on net interest income, one gauge of interest rate-sensitivity is to measure, over a variety of time periods, the differences in the amounts of the Company's rate-sensitive assets and rate-sensitive liabilities. These differences, or "gaps", provide an indication of the extent to which net interest income may be affected by future changes in interest rates. A positive gap exists when rate-sensitive assets exceed rate-sensitive liabilities and indicates that a greater volume of assets than liabilities will reprice during a given period. This mismatch may enhance earnings in a rising interest rate environment and may inhibit earnings when interest rates decline. Conversely, when rate-sensitive liabilities exceed rate-sensitive assets, referred to as a negative gap, it indicates that a greater volume of liabilities than assets may reprice during the period. In this case, a rising interest rate environment may inhibit earnings and declining interest rates may enhance earnings. However, because interest rates for different asset and liability products offered by financial institutions respond differently, the gap is only a general indicator of interest rate sensitivity. LIQUIDITY The objective of liquidity management is to maintain a balance between sources and uses of funds in such a way that the cash requirements of customers for loans and deposit withdrawals are met in the most economical manner. Management monitors its liquidity position continuously in relation to trends of loans and deposits for short-term as well as long-term requirements. Liquid assets are monitored on a daily basis to assure maximum utilization. Management also manages its liquidity requirements by maintaining an adequate level of readily marketable assets and access to short-term funding sources. Management does not foresee any adverse trends in liquidity. 20 Penseco Financial Services Corporation / 2002 Annual Report LIQUIDITY (continued) The Company remains in a highly liquid condition both in the short and long term. Sources of liquidity include the Company's U.S. Treasury and U.S. Agency bond portfolios, additional deposits, earnings, overnight loans to and from other companies (Federal Funds) and lines of credit at the Federal Reserve Bank and the Federal Home Loan Bank. The Company is not a party to any commitments, guarantees or obligations that could materially affect its liquidity. Subsequent to the Balance Sheet Date, the Bank purchased a FHLMC (Freddie Mac) pool of new twenty year residential mortgages, with a 5 1/2% coupon and a face value of $100,000. The Bank financed the purchase by borrowing $100,000 from the Federal Home Loan Bank with maturities ranging from 5 to 20 years. Calculations indicate a 100 basis point spread in the 1st year declining to 81 basis points after the 10th year and every year thereafter. These calculated spreads may vary depending on various interest rate scenarios which affect prepayment speeds. The investment resulted in increases in Total Assets and Total Liabilities of approximately 20.7% and 22.8% from December 31, 2002, respectively. The Bank has estimated that the transaction will result in an increase in net interest income of approximately $800 for the current fiscal year. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES In the normal course of business, there are outstanding commitments and contingent liabilities, created under prevailing terms and collateral requirements such as commitments to extend credit, financial guarantees and letters of credit, which are not reflected in the accompanying Financial Statements. The Company does not anticipate any losses as a result of these transactions. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the Balance Sheets. The contract or notional amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Company has in particular classes of financial instruments. Financial instruments whose contract amounts represent credit risk at December 31, 2002 and 2001 are as follows: 2002 2001 - --------------------------------------------------- Commitments to extend credit: Fixed rate $ 12,273 $ 17,490 Variable rate $ 66,257 $ 45,033 Standby letters of credit $ 10,586 $ 3,311 Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have expiration dates of one year or less or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. RELATED PARTIES The Company does not have any material transactions involving related persons or entities, other than traditional banking transactions, which are made on the same terms and conditions as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with unrelated parties. During 2002, the Bank issued a standby letter of credit for the account of a related party in the amount of $6,353. CAPITAL RESOURCES A strong capital position is important to the continued profitability of the Company and promotes depositor and investor confidence. The Company's capital provides a basis for future growth and expansion and also provides additional protection against unexpected losses. Additional sources of capital would come from retained earnings from the operations of the Company and from the sale of additional common stock. Management has no plans to offer additional common stock at this time. The Company's total risk-based capital ratio was 17.99% at December 31, 2002. The Company's risk-based capital ratio is more than the 10.00% ratio that Federal regulators use as the "well capitalized" threshold. This is the current criteria which the FDIC uses in determining the lowest insurance rate for deposit insurance. The Company's risk-based capital ratio is more than double the 8.00% limit which determines whether a company is "adequately capitalized". Under these rules, the Company could significantly increase its assets and still comply with these capital requirements without the necessity of increasing its equity capital. DIVIDEND POLICY Payment of future dividends will be subject to the discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend upon the earnings of the Company, its financial condition, its capital requirements, its need for funds and other matters as the Board deems appropriate. Dividends on the Company common stock, if approved by the Board of Directors, are customarily paid on or about March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15.

However, the Company is party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, financial guarantees and letters of credit. These instruments involve to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party up to a stipulated amount and with specified terms and conditions. Commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit are not recorded as an asset or liability by the Company until the instrument is exercised. The Company's exposure to market risk is reviewed on a regular basis by the Asset/Liability Committee. Interest rate risk is the potential of economic losses due to future interest rate changes. These economic losses can be reflected as a loss of future net interest income and/or a loss of current fair market values. The objective is to measure the effect on net interest income and to adjust the balance sheet to minimize the inherent risk while at the same time maximizing income. Management realizes certain risks are inherent and that the goal is to identify and minimize the risks. Tools used by management include the standard GAP report and an interest rate shock simulation report. The Company has no market risk sensitive instruments held for trading purposes. It appears the Company's market risk is reasonable at this time. The following table provides information about the Company's market rate sensitive instruments used for purposes other than trading that are sensitive to changes in interest rates. For loans, securities, and liabilities with contractual maturities, the table presents principal cash flows and related weighted-average interest rates by contractual maturities as well as the Company's historical experience of the impact of interest rate fluctuations on the prepayment of residential and home equity loans and mortgage-backed securities. For core deposits (e.g., DDA, interest checking, savings and money market deposits) that have no contractual maturity, the table presents principal cash flows and, as applicable, related weighted-average interest rates based on the Company's historical experience, management's judgment, and statistical analysis, as applicable, concerning their most likely withdrawal behaviors. 22 Penseco Financial Services Corporation / 2002 Annual Report MATURITIES AND SENSITIVITY OF MARKET RISK AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2001 Non-Rate 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 Thereafter Sensitive Total Fair Value -

Penseco Financial Services Corporation / 2002 Annual Report 27 General Notes To Financial Statements 1 NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Penseco Financial Services Corporation (Company) is a financial holding company, incorporated in 1997 under the laws of Pennsylvania. It is the parent company of Penn Security Bank and Trust Company (Bank), a state chartered bank. The Company operates from nine banking offices under a state bank charter and provides full banking services, including trust services, to individual and corporate customers primarily in Northeastern Pennsylvania. The Company's primary deposit products are savings and demand deposit accounts and certificates of deposit. Its primary lending products are real estate, commercial and consumer loans. The Company's revenues are attributable to a single reportable segment, therefore segment information is not presented. The accounting policies of the Company conform with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and with general practices within the banking industry. BASIS OF PRESENTATION The Financial Statements of the Company have been consolidated with those of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Penn Security Bank and Trust Company, eliminating all intercompany items and transactions. The Statements are presented on the accrual basis of accounting. All information is presented in thousands of dollars, except per share data. USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change relate to the determination of the allowance for losses on loans and the valuation of real estate acquired in connection with foreclosures or in satisfaction of loans. In connection with the determination of the allowances for losses on loans and foreclosed real estate, management obtains independent appraisals for significant properties. EMERGING ACCOUNTING STANDARDS The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued various new accounting standards as of December 31, 2002, which are applicable in future periods. Management does not anticipate that the adoption of any of the new standards will have a significant effect on the Company's earnings or financial position. INVESTMENT SECURITIES Investments in securities are classified in two categories and accounted for as follows: Securities Held-to-Maturity. Bonds, notes, debentures and mortgage-backed securities for which the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are reported at cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts computed on the straight-line basis, which approximates the interest method, over the remaining period to maturity. Securities Available-for-Sale. Bonds, notes, debentures and certain equity securities not classified as securities to be held to maturity are carried at fair value with unrealized holding gains and losses, net of tax, reported as a net amount in a separate component of stockholders' equity until realized. Gains and losses on the sale of securities available-for-sale are determined using the specific identification method and are reported as a separate component of other income in the Statements of Income. LOANS AND PROVISION (ALLOWANCE) FOR POSSIBLE LOAN LOSSES Loans are stated at the principal amount outstanding, net of any unearned income, deferred loan fees and the allowance for loan losses. Interest is accrued daily on the outstanding balances. Loans are generally placed on a non-accrual status when principal or interest is past due 90 days or when payment in full is not anticipated. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, all interest previously accrued but not collected is charged against current income. Loans are returned to accrual status when past due interest is collected and the collection of principal is probable. The provision for loan losses is based on past loan loss experience, management's evaluation of the potential loss in the current loan portfolio under current economic conditions and such other factors as, in management's best judgement, deserve current recognition in estimating loan losses. The annual provision for loan losses charged to operating expense is that amount which is sufficient to bring the balance of the allowance for possible loan losses to an adequate level to absorb anticipated losses. PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Provision for depreciation and amortization, computed principally on the straight-line method, is charged to operating expenses over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Maintenance and repairs are charged to current expense as incurred. LONG-LIVED ASSETS The Company reviews the carrying value of long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that carrying amounts of the assets might not be recoverable, as prescribed in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of" (SFAS 121). LOAN SERVICING The Company generally retains the right to service mortgage loans sold to others. The cost allocated to the mortgage servicing rights retained has been recognized as a separate asset and is being amortized in proportion to and over the period of estimated net servicing income. Mortgage servicing rights are evaluated for impairment based on the fair value of those rights. Fair values are estimated using discounted cash flows based on current market rates of interest and current expected future prepayment rates. For purposes of measuring impairment, the rights must be stratified by one or more predominant risk characteristics of the underlying loans. The Company stratifies its capitalized mortgage servicing rights based on the product type, interest rate and term of the underlying loans. The amount of impairment recognized is the amount, if any, by which the amortized cost of the rights for each stratum exceed the fair value. 28 Penseco Financial Services Corporation / 2002 Annual Report 1 NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) PENSION EXPENSE Pension expense has been determined in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87, "Employers Accounting for Pensions" (SFAS 87). POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS EXPENSE Postretirement benefits expense has been determined in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 106, "Employers Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions" (SFAS 106). ADVERTISING EXPENSES Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expenses for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, amounted to $650, $497 and $466, respectively. INCOME TAXES Provisions for income taxes are based on taxes payable or refundable for the current year (after exclusion of non-taxable income such as interest on state and municipal securities) as well as deferred taxes on temporary differences, between the amount of taxable income and pre-tax financial income and between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the Financial Statements. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are included in the Financial Statements at currently enacted income tax rates applicable to the period in which the deferred tax assets and liabilities are expected to be realized or settled as prescribed in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" (SFAS 109). As changes in tax laws or rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the provision for income taxes. CASH FLOWS For purposes of the Statements of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, due from banks, interest bearing balances with banks and Federal funds sold for a one-day period. The Company paid interest and income taxes during the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000 as follows: 2002 2001 2000 - --------------------------------------------------------- Income taxes paid $ 2,636 $ 1,909 $ 1,379 Interest paid $ 8,271 $ 13,215 $ 13,290 Non-cash transactions during the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, comprised entirely of the net acquisition of real estate in the settlement of loans, amounted to $257, $265 and $272, respectively. TRUST ASSETS AND INCOME Assets held by the Company in a fiduciary or agency capacity for its customers are not included in the Financial Statements since such items are not assets of the Company. Trust income is reported on the accrual basis of accounting. EARNINGS PER SHARE Basic earnings per share is computed on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each year (2,148,000) as prescribed in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" (SFAS 128). A calculation of diluted earnings per share is not applicable to the Company. RECLASSIFICATIONS Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2002 presentation. 2 CASH AND DUE FROM BANKS Cash and due from banks are summarized as follows: December 31, 2002 2001 - ----------------------------------------------------------------- Cash items in process of collection $ 127 $ 293 Non-interest bearing balances 8,708 9,672 Cash on hand 2,285 3,061 - ----------------------------------------------------------------- Total $ 11,120 $ 13,026 ================================================================= The Company may, from time to time, maintain bank balances with other financial institutions in excess of $100,000 each.

Penseco Financial Services Corporation / 2002 Annual Report 31 12 EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS The Company provides an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP), a Retirement Profit Sharing Plan, an Employees' Pension Plan, as well as an unfunded supplemental executive pension plan and a Postretirement Life Insurance Plan, all non-contributory, covering all eligible employees. Under the Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP), amounts voted by the Board of Directors are paid into the ESOP and each employee is credited with a share in proportion to their annual compensation. All contributions to the ESOP are invested in or will be invested primarily in Company stock. Distribution of a participant's ESOP account occurs upon retirement, death or termination in accordance with the plan provisions. At December 31, 2002 and 2001, the ESOP held 88,962 and 85,337 shares, respectively of the Company's stock, all of which were acquired as described above and allocated to specific participant accounts. These shares are treated the same for dividend purposes and earnings per share calculations as are any other outstanding shares of the Company's stock. The Company contributed $140, $140 and $110 to the plan during the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Under the Retirement Profit Sharing Plan, amounts voted by the Board of Directors are paid into a fund and each employee is credited with a share in proportion to their annual compensation. Upon retirement, death or termination, each employee is paid the total amount of their credits in the fund in one of a number of optional ways in accordance with the plan provisions. The Company did not contribute to the plan during the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Under the Pension Plan, amounts computed on an actuarial basis are paid by the Company into a trust fund. Provision is made for fixed benefits payable for life upon retirement at the age of 65, based on length of service and compensation levels as defined in the plan. Plan assets of the trust fund are invested and administered by the Trust Department of Penn Security Bank and Trust Company. The unfunded supplemental executive pension plan provides certain officers with additional retirement benefits to replace benefits lost due to limits imposed on qualified plans by Federal tax law. The postretirement life insurance plan is an unfunded, non-vesting defined benefit plan. The plan is non-contributory and provides for a reducing level of term life insurance coverage following retirement. For the unfunded plans above, amounts calculated on an actuarial basis are recorded as a liability. In determining the benefit obligation the following assumptions were made: Pension Benefits Other Benefits -------------------- ---------------- December 31, 2002 2001 2002 2001 - ------------------------------------------------------------------ Weighted -

Management is not aware of any evidence that would preclude the realization of the benefit in the future and, accordingly, has not established a valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets. 14 ACCUMULATED OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME Accumulated other comprehensive income of $3,075, $2,602 and $958 at December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively consisted entirely of unrealized gains or losses on available-for-sale securities, net of tax. A reconciliation of other comprehensive income for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 is as follows: Tax Before-Tax (Expense) Net-of-Tax 2002 Amount Benefit Amount - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Unrealized gains on available-for-sale securities: Unrealized gains arising during the year $ 1,726 $ (587) $ 1,139 Less: Reclassification adjustment for gains realized in income 1,009 (343) 666 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Net unrealized gains $ 717 $ (244) $ 473 ============================================================================== 2001 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Unrealized gains on available-for-sale securities: Unrealized gains arising during the year $ 2,465 $ (838) $ 1,627 Less: Reclassification adjustment for losses realized in income (26) 9 (17) - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Net unrealized gains $ 2,491 $ (847) $ 1,644 ============================================================================== 15 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES In the normal course of business, there are outstanding commitments and contingent liabilities, created under prevailing terms and collateral requirements such as commitments to extend credit, financial guarantees and letters of credit, which are not reflected in the accompanying Financial Statements. The Company does not anticipate any losses as a result of these transactions. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the Balance Sheets. The contract or notional amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Company has in particular classes of financial instruments. Financial instruments whose contract amounts represent credit risk at December 31, 2002 and 2001 are as follows: 2002 2001 - --------------------------------------------------------- Commitments to extend credit: Fixed rate $ 12,273 $ 17,490 Variable rate $ 66,257 $ 45,033 Standby letters of credit $ 10,586 $ 3,311 Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have expiration dates of one year or less or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. Various actions and proceedings are presently pending to which the Company is a party. Management is of the opinion that the aggregate liabilities, if any, arising from such actions would not have a material adverse effect on the financial position of the Company. Penseco Financial Services Corporation / 2002 Annual Report 33 16 FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURE GENERAL Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments" (SFAS 107), requires the disclosure of the estimated fair value of on and off-balance sheet financial instruments. VALUATION METHODS AND ASSUMPTIONS Estimated fair values have been determined using the best available data, an estimation methodology suitable for each category of financial instruments. For those loans and deposits with floating interest rates it is presumed that estimated fair values generally approximate the carrying amount balances. Financial instruments actively traded in a secondary market have been valued using quoted available market prices. Those with stated maturities have been valued using a present value discounted cash flow with a discount rate approximating current market for similar assets and liabilities. Those liabilities with no stated maturities have an estimated fair value equal to both the amount payable on demand and the carrying amount balance. The net loan portfolio has been valued using a present value discounted cash flow. The discount rate used in these calculations is the current loan rate adjusted for non-interest operating costs, credit loss and assumed prepayment risk. Off balance sheet carrying amounts and fair value of letters of credit represent the deferred income fees arising from those unrecognized financial instruments. Changes in assumptions or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on these estimated fair values. All assets and liabilities which are not considered financial instruments have not been valued differently than has been customary with historical cost accounting.

The Company also leases space at several locations which are being used as remote banking facilities. Rental expense was $80 in 2002, $81 in 2001 and $81 in 2000. All leases contain renewal options. The Mount Pocono and the Meadow Avenue leases contain the right of first refusal for the purchase of the properties and provisions for annual rent adjustments based upon the Consumer Price Index. Future minimum rental commitments under these leases at December 31, 2002 are as follows: Mount Meadow ATM Pocono Avenue Sites Total - ----------------------------------------------------------- 2003 $ 48 $ 19 $ 12 $ 79 2004 48 19 4 71 2005 48 19 4 71 2006 48 13 - 61 2007 48 - - 48 2008 to 2011 160 - - 160 - ----------------------------------------------------------- Total minimum payments required $ 400 $ 70 $ 20 $ 490 =========================================================== 18 LOANS TO DIRECTORS, PRINCIPAL OFFICERS AND RELATED PARTIES The Company has had, and may be expected to have in the future, banking transactions in the ordinary course of business with directors, principal officers, their immediate families and affiliated companies in which they are principal stockholders (commonly referred to as related parties), on the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with others. A summary of loans to directors, principal officers and related parties is as follows: Years Ended December 31, 2002 2001 - ------------------------------------------------- Beginning Balance $ 6,664 $ 5,959 Additions 748 2,997 Collections (2,929) (2,292) - ------------------------------------------------- Ending Balance $ 4,483 $ 6,664 ================================================= In addition to the loan amounts shown above, during 2002, the Bank issued a standby letter of credit for the account of a related party in the amount of $6,353. 19 REGULATORY MATTERS The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the Federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory--and possibly additional discretionary--actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company and the Bank's Consolidated Financial Statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of their assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Company and the Bank's capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgements by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors. Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the Capital Adequacy table on the following page) of Tier I and Total Capital to risk-weighted assets and of Tier I Capital to average assets (Leverage ratio). The table also presents the Company's actual capital amounts and ratios. The Bank's actual capital amounts and ratios are substantially identical to the Company's. Management believes, as of December 31, 2002, that the Company and the Bank meet all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject. As of December 31, 2002, the most recent notification from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) categorized the Company as "well capitalized" under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as "well capitalized", the Company must maintain minimum Tier I Capital, Total Capital and Leverage ratios as set forth in the Capital Adequacy table. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Company's categorization by the FDIC. The Company and Bank are also subject to minimum capital levels which could limit the payment of dividends, although the Company and Bank currently have capital levels which are in excess of minimum capital level ratios required. The Pennsylvania Banking Code restricts capital funds available for payment of dividends to the Retained Earnings of the Bank. Accordingly, at December 31, 2002, the balances in the Capital Stock and Surplus accounts totalling $10,840 are unavailable for dividends. In addition, the Bank is subject to restrictions imposed by Federal law on certain transactions with the Company's affiliates. These transactions include extensions of credit, purchases of or investments in stock issued by the affiliate, purchases of assets subject to certain exceptions, acceptance of securities issued by an affiliate as collateral for loans, and the issuance of guarantees, acceptances, and letters of credit on behalf of affiliates. These restrictions prevent the Company's affiliates from borrowing from the Bank unless the loans are secured by obligations of designated amounts. Further, the aggregate of such transactions by the Bank with a single affiliate is limited in amount to 10 percent of the Bank's Capital Stock and Surplus, and the aggregate of such transactions with all affiliates is limited to 20 percent of the Bank's Capital Stock and Surplus. The Federal Reserve System has interpreted "Capital Stock and Surplus" to include undivided profits.

The Bank financed the purchase by borrowing $100,000 from the Federal Home Loan Bank with maturities ranging from 5 to 20 years. Calculations indicate a 100 basis point spread in the 1st year declining to 81 basis points after the 10th year and every year thereafter. These calculated spreads may vary depending on various interest rate scenarios which affect prepayment speeds. The investment resulted in increases in Total Assets and Total Liabilities of approximately 20.7% and 22.8% from December 31, 2002, respectively. The Bank has estimated that the transaction will result in an increase in net interest income of approximately $800 for the current fiscal year.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.

An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Penseco Financial Services Corporation and subsidiary as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three year period ended December 31, 2001, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. /s/ McGrail, Merkel, Quinn & Associates 38 Penseco Financial Services Corporation / 2002 Annual Report ITEM 9 Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure There were no changes in or disagreements with accountants on matters of accounting principles or practices or financial statement disclosures in 2002.
