In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly ACNB Corporation's financial position as of September 30, 2003 and 2002 and December 31, 2002 and the results of its operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 and changes in financial position for the nine months then ended. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The accounting policies followed by the corporation are set forth in Note A to the corporation's financial statements in the 2002 ACNB Corporation Annual Report and Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on March 21, 2003. 2. The book and approximate market value of securities owned at September 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002 were as follows: 9/30/03 12/31/02 Amortized Fair Amortized Fair Cost Value Cost Value ---------- -------- --------- -------- (000 omitted) U.S. Treasury and U.S. Government Agencies (held to maturity) $ 15,537 $ 17,023 $ 25,540 28,350 State and Municipal (held to maturity) 1,370 1,377 1,509 1,524 Corporate (held to maturity) 0 0 217 219 State and Municipal (available for sale) 22,924 23,089 10,337 10,513 U.S. Government Agencies (available for sale) 40,000 39,945 21,501 22,138 Mortgage Backed Securities (available for sale) 192,371 191,262 180,696 184,893 Mortgage Backed Securites (held to maturity) 29,216 28,723 Corporate (available for sale) 106,190 107,149 63,565 64,845 Restricted Equity Securities 8,708 8,708 4,392 4,392 -------- -------- -------- -------- TOTAL $416,316 $417,276 $307,757 $316,874 Income earned on investment securities was as follows: Nine Months Ended September 30 2003 2002 -------- ---------- (000 omitted) U.S. Treasury and U.S. Government Agencies $ 1,326 $4,348 Mortgage Backed Securities 4,926 4,478 State and Municipal 652 116 Other Investments 2,755 532 ------- ------ $9,659 $9,474 Page 5 3.

Earnings per share are based on the weighted average number of shares of stock outstanding during each period. Weighted average shares outstanding for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2003, and 2002 were 5,436,101 and 5,436,101, respectively. 5. Dividends paid per share were $.63 and $.80 for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2003, and 2002, respectively. This represented a 46% payout of net income in 2003 and a 64% payout in 2002. 6. The results of operations for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2003, and 2002, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. 7. During the second quarter of 2003, the corporation inadvertently sold a portion of an investment security that was classified as held-to-maturity. This does not represent a material contradiction with the corporation's intent to hold those securities to maturity, nor does this represent a pattern of such sales by the corporation. The corporation has the intent and ability to hold the remaining securities classified as held-to-maturity. The amortized cost of the debt security sold was $5,000,000 and the related realized gain on the sale of the investment was $366,000. 8. Certain amounts in 2002 have been reclassified to conform with 2003 presentation. Page 6 <page> ITEM 2 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Results of Operations The corporation's discussion and analysis of the significant changes in the results of operations, capital resources and liquidity presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for the Registrant, and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Adams County National Bank and Pennbanks Insurance Company, follow. The corporation's consolidated statement of financial condition and results of operations consist principally of the bank's financial condition and results of operations. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the corporation's 2002 Annual Report to Shareholders. Current performance does not guarantee, assure, and is not necessarily indicative of similar performance in the future. In addition to historical information, this Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements. From time to time, the corporation may publish forward-looking statements relating to such matters as anticipated financial performance, business prospects, technological developments, new products, research and development activities and similar matters. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe harbor for forward-looking statements. In order to comply with the terms of the safe harbor, the corporation notes that a variety of factors could cause the corporation's actual results and experience to differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in the corporation's forward-looking statements. The risks and uncertainties that may affect the operations, performance, development and results of the corporation's business include the following: general economic conditions, including their impact on capital expenditures; business conditions in the banking industry; the regulatory environment; rapidly changing technology and evolving banking industry standards; competitive factors, including increased competition with community, regional and national financial institutions; new service and product offerings by competitors and price pressures; and similar items. THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2003 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2002 Net Income for the three month period ending September 30, 2003 was $3,151,000, up $857,000, or 37% from the third quarter of 2002. Net interest income was down, total other income was up and other expense was up. The third quarter decrease in net interest income is due to historically rapid prepayments on mortgage backed securities. Net income per share, for the third quarter, was $.58, compared to the $.42 earned in the same period in 2002. For the three month period (annualized) in 2003, the return on average assets and return on average equity were 1.51% and 18.18%, respectively, compared to 1.37% and 13.45%, respectively for 2002. An explanation of the factors and trends that caused changes between the two periods, by major earnings category, follows. Total interest income for the third quarter period of 2003 was $8,982,000, down $509,000 or 5.4% below the $9,491,000 earned in the same period of 2002. The $509,000 decrease in interest income was due to rapid mortgage backed security prepayments during third quarter 2003. The average yield on earning assets declined 112 basis points compared to the same quarter in 2002. In an effort to manage interest rate risk, the corporation continues to lower interest rates on transaction accounts and keep securities maturities short. Income from loans was down approximately $265,000 due to lower interest rates while taxable security income was down approximately $396,000 due to rapid prepayments on mortgage backed securities and overall lower interest rates. Page 7 <page> Total interest expense for the third quarter of 2003 was $3,292,000, down $32,000 or 1% from the $3,324,000 incurred for the same period in 2002. The $32,000 decrease in interest expense was due to aggressive cutting of deposit rates. Because the decrease in interest income exceeded the decrease in interest expense, net interest income decreased $477,000. Total other income for the third quarter of 2003 at $2,874,000, was $1,675,000 greater than the same quarter in 2002. The following are the primary causes of the 140% increase in other income: o Net realized gains on securities of $996,000. Longer term securities with terms of approximately 10 to 15 years were sold for gains, and the proceeds reinvested in five year mortgage backed security balloons. Not all of the funds were reinvested at higher rates, but the goal is to slow down prepayments and lessen the volatility associated with longer term securities. o Additional income from bank owned life insurance of approximately $56,000. o The financial results for the third quarter of 2003 reflects the gain from the proceeds of two split-dollar life insurance policies on the life of an executive officer of the Bank that passed away during the third quarter. The Bank was the beneficiary of these life insurance policies. The Bank's gain of $646,000 represents the excess of the death benefit proceeds over the cash surrender value on the two policies. The estate of the executive officer received the contractual death benefit from the split-dollar policies directly from the insurers. The Bank has two additional life insurance policies covering the life of the deceased executive officer. The estimated death benefit proceeds of the remaining policies are approximately $2,229,000. The estimated gain from these policies is $1,560,000. The death benefits proceeds have not been received by the Bank because each policy is within the contestable period and is under routine investigation by the insurers. Interest margins continue to narrow, therefore, net earnings will increasingly rely on other income for the remainder of the fiscal year. Total other expense for the third quarter of 2003 was $4,423,000, up $214,000 from the $4,209,000 incurred for the third quarter of 2002. The following are the primary causes of the 5% increase in other expense: o A $105,000 or 5% increase in salaries and benefits caused by a continuation of staffing efforts connected with a new branch in Dillsburg, PA, and upgrading of loan personnel. o An $115,000 increase in the other expense category. The provision for income taxes in the third quarter increased $127,000, due to a higher level of taxable income. Page 8 <page> NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30,2003 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2002 Net income for the first nine months of 2003 was $7,503,000, up $715,000 or 10.5% above the $6,788,000 earned for the same period of 2002. The increase in net income was due primarily to realized gains on securities and proceeds from two insurance policies paid due to the death of an executive officer. Net interest income has been affected by narrowing interest margins and rapid prepayments on mortgage backed securities. For the nine month period (annualized) of 2003, the return on average assets (ROA) and return on average equity (ROE) were 1.25% and 14.36%, respectively, compared to 1.42% and 13.97%, respectively, for 2002. At September 30, 2003, total assets were approximately $870 million, reflecting a $153 million or 21% increase above September 30, 2002. This increase in assets stems from migration of funds from the equities market, in the form of a deposit account called Classic Money Market, and increased borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank. Book value per share was $12.88 on September 30, 2003, compared to $13.28 on September 30, 2002. The corporation's capital remained sound as evidenced by Total Shareholders Capital Ratio of 8.05% and a Total Risk-Based Capital Ratio of 14.59% on September 30, 2003. Total interest income for the current nine month period was $27,559,000 down $691,000 or 2% from the $28,250,000 earned in the same period of 2002. The $691,000 decrease in total interest income was due to falling interest rates in the general market economy in 2002 translating to lower rates on new loans and securities. In addition, rapid prepayments on mortgage backed securities have lowered yields on those securities and negatively affected interest income. Total interest expense for the current nine month period was $10,716,000, up $872,000 or 9% above the $9,844,000 incurred for the same period in 2002. The $872,000 increase in total interest expense was due to growth in deposits as they returned from Wall Street, and additional borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh. Net interest income was $16,843,000 for the current period, $1,563,000 below the first nine months in 2002. Margins are slipping, and assets are increasing, but, not rapidly enough to offset changes in interest expenses. The bank shifted to a funds purchased position, but has not improved either the dollar margin or the ratio. The reason for the narrowing of the margin has been historically rapid prepayments on mortgage backed securities. These securities (many of which were bought at a premium) require accelerated write-offs of the acquired premium. Total non-interest income for the current nine month period was $6,622,000, an increase of $3,070,000 or 86% above the same period in 2002. The increase was caused by a $105,000 increase on Bank Owned Life Insurance, $58,000 in gains on sale of other real estate, $1,991,000 in gains on securities sold, and the excess of death benefit proceeds over the cash surrender value of two insurance policies held on an executive officer. The gain in securities sold is the result of a desire to improve yields by judicious extension of maturity (sale of a one year maturity bond and its replacement with a two to three year bond with a higher yield, with the realization of a gain on the security sold), or a need to sell longer term securities to lessen volatility. Prepayment of mortgage backed securities has been very rapid during the second and third quarters of 2003. Some securities gains have been realized to offset the effect of the rapid prepayments. The financial results for the third quarter of 2003 reflects the gain from the proceeds of two split-dollar life insurance policies on the life of an executive officer of the Bank that passed away during the third quarter. The Bank was the beneficiary of these life insurance policies. The Bank's gain of $646,000 represents the excess of the death benefit proceeds over the cash surrender value on the two policies. The estate of the executive officer received the contractual death benefit from the split-dollar policies directly from the insurers. Page 9 <page> The Bank has two additional life insurance policies covering the life of the deceased executive officer. The estimated death benefit proceeds of the remaining policies are approximately $2,229,000. The estimated gain from these policies is $1,560,000. The death benefits proceeds have not been received by the Bank due to both policies are within the contestable period and are under routine investigation by the insurers. Total non-interest expense for the current nine month period was $13,252,000, $1,038,000 or 8% above the $12,214,000 incurred for the same period in 2002. The increase was due to a $529,000 increase in salaries and benefits, and a $496,000 increase in premises and equipment. This last is traceable to new technology and a new branch in Dillsburg. The provision for income taxes was $2,530,000 for the current period, $246,000 below the same period in 2002 due to tax-free insurance income mentioned above and greater tax-free municipal bond income. OVERVIEW OF THE BALANCE SHEET The changes in the balance sheet have been driven by strong growth in deposits. The following are some of the results: o Total investment securities were $416,276,000 at September 30, 2003, an increase of $116,649,000 or 39% since September 30, 2002. Securities have increased from 42% of total assets to 48% of total assets. o Total deposits have grown from $559,724,000, at September 30, 2002, to $630,975,000, at September 30, 2003, an increase of $71,251,000 or 13%. Certificates of deposit were down $10,417,000 from the September 30, 2002 total. All of the $71,251,000 increase was from transaction accounts. This has increased our liability sensitivity, as measured by the bank's internal gap (see below). o Accumulated other comprehensive income has decreased from $3,729,000, at December 31, 2002, to $(386,000), at September 30, 2003. This indicates the after tax effect in the change in market value of the available for sale securities portfolio. Although declining rates would normally cause comprehensive income to increase, management felt that due to the rapid prepayment of mortgage backed securities, it was better to take the profits rather than let them disappear through this prepayment or rising interest rates. In a defensive move the resulting funds have been reinvested short term in securities such as two-year corporates or five-year mortgage backed securities balloons. INTEREST RATE SPREAD AND NET YIELD ON EARNING ASSETS Nine Months Ended 9/30/03 9/30/02 Rate Rate ------- ------- Earning Assets 4.84% 6.26% Interest Bearing Liabilities 2.17% 2.63% Interest Rate Spread 2.67% 3.63% Net Yield on Earning Assets 2.96% 4.08% Net Yield on Earning Assets is the difference, stated in percentages, between the interest earned on loans and other investments and the interest paid on deposits and other sources of funds. The Net Yield on Earning Assets is one of the best analytical tools available to demonstrate the effect of interest rate changes on the corporation's earning capacity. Page 10 <page> The Net Yield on Earning Assets, for the first nine months of 2003, was down 112 basis points compared to the same period in 2002. Yields on loans and securities have changed more rapidly than deposit rates as interest rates in the general economy have remained at record low levels after falling dramatically in 2001 and 2002. PROVISION AND RESERVE FOR POSSIBLE LOAN LOSSES Reserve for Possible Loan Losses (In Thousands) Nine Months Ended 9/30/03 9/30/02 ------- ------- Balance at Beginning of Period $3,837 $3,723 Provision Charged to Expense 180 180 Loans Charged Off 127 304 Recoveries 38 53 ------ ------ Balance at End of Period $3,928 $3,652 Ratios: Net Charge-offs to: Net Income 1.19% 3.70% Total Loans .02% .07% Reserve for Possible Loan Losses 2.27% 6.87% Reserve for Possible Loan Losses to: Total Loans .98% .99% The Reserve for Possible Loan Losses at September 30, 2003 was $3,928,000 (.98% of Total Loans), an increase of $276,000 from $3,652,000 (.99% of Total Loans) at the end of the first nine months of 2002. Loans past due 90 days and still accruing were $439,000 and non-accrual loans were $387,000, as of September 30, 2003. The ratio of non-performing assets plus other real estate owned to total assets was .16%, at September 30, 2003. All properties are carried at the lower of market or book value and are not considered to represent significant threat of loss to the bank. In addition, a parcel of other real estate owned with a book value of $782,000 was sold during the second quarter of 2002 for $890,000, reducing other real estate owned (OREO) by almost 50%. Loans past due 90 days and still accruing were $1,379,000, at year end 2002, while non-accruals were $1,037,000. The bulk of the corporation's real estate loans are in residential mortgages. Management believes that internal loan review procedures will be effective in recognizing and correcting any real estate lending problems that may occur due to current economic conditions. Interest not accrued, due to an average of $507,000 in non-accrual loans, was approximately $25,000 for the first nine months of 2003. The bank considers a loan impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that a lender will be unable to collect all amounts due. We measure impaired loans based on the present value of expected future cash flows, discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, or as a practical expedient, at the loan's observable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. If the measure of the impaired loan is less than its recorded investment a lender must recognize an impairment by creating, or adjusting, a valuation allowance with a corresponding charge to loan loss expense. The corporation uses the cash basis method to recognize interest income on loans that are impaired. All of the corporation's impaired loans were on a non-accrual status for all reported periods. Page 11 <page> CAPITAL MANAGEMENT Total Shareholders' Equity was $70,010,000, at September 30, 2003, compared to $72,211,000, at September 30, 2002, a decrease of $2,201,000 or 3.0% over that period. The ratio of Total Shareholders' Equity to Total Assets was 9.54%, at December 31, 2002, 10.08%, at September 30, 2002, and 8.05%, at September 30, 2003. The total risk-based capital ratio was 14.59%, at September 30, 2003. The leverage ratio was 8.40%, at September 30, 2003, and 11.29%, during the same period in 2002. Capital at the corporation remains strong. LIQUIDITY AND INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY Management believes that the corporation's liquidity is adequate. Liquid assets (cash and due from banks, federal funds sold, money market instruments, available for sale securities and held to maturity investment securities maturing within one year) were 44% of total assets, at September 30, 2003. This mix of assets would be readily available for funding any cash requirements. In addition, the Bank has an approved line of credit of $294,546,000 at the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh with $123,700,000 outstanding at September 30, 2003. As of September 30, 2003, the cumulative asset sensitive gap was -2.6% of total assets at one month, 1.1% at six months, and 18.7% at one year. Adjustable rate mortgages, which have an annual interest rate cap of 2%, are considered rate sensitive. Twenty-five (25%) percent of passbook and statement savings, NOW and money market deposit accounts are calculated to reprice overnight. The remaining 75% are carried in the over 5-year category. Other than the construction of a new operations center, costing approximately $7,000,000, and funding of investment tax credits of approximately $3,000,000 over the next 18 months, there are no known trends or demands, commitments, events or uncertainties that will result in, or that are reasonably likely to result in, liquidity increasing or decreasing in any material way. Aside from those matters described above, management does not currently believe that there are any known trends or uncertainties that would have a material impact on future operating results, liquidity or capital resources nor is it aware of any current recommendations by the regulatory authorities, which, if they were to be implemented, would have such an effect, although the general cost of compliance with numerous and multiple federal and state laws and regulation does have and in the future may have a negative impact on the corporation's results of operations. ITEM 3 QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK Management monitors and evaluates changes in market conditions on a regular basis. Based upon the most recent review of September 30, 2003, management has determined that there have been changes in interest rates that have been affecting the corporation as outlined above. For further discussion of year end information, refer to the annual report. Page 12 <page> ITEM 4 CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES As of the end of the period covered by this report, the corporation carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the corporation's management, including the corporation's Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the corporation's disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act") Rule 13a-14.
