These forward-looking statements may be subject to risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements include the information concerning possible or assumed future results of operations of ACNB Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Adams County National Bank and Pennbanks Insurance Company. When words such as "believes," "expects," "anticipates," "may," "could," "should," "estimates," or similar expressions occur in this annual report, management is making forward-looking statements. Stockholders should note that many factors, some of which are discussed elsewhere in this report, could affect the future financial results of ACNB Corporation and its subsidiaries, both individually and collectively, and could cause those results to differ materially from those expressed in this report. These risk factors include the following: o Operating, legal and regulatory risks; o Economic, political and competitive forces impacting our various lines of business; o The risk that our analysis of these risks and forces could be incorrect and/or that the strategies developed to address them could be unsuccessful; o The possibility that increased demand or prices for ACNB's financial services and products may not occur; o Volatility in interest rates; and/or, o Other risks and uncertainties. ACNB undertakes no obligation to publicly revise or update these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that arise after the date of this report. Readers should carefully review the risk factors described in other documents ACNB files periodically with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and any Current Reports on Form 8-K. ITEM I - BUSINESS ACNB CORPORATION ACNB Corporation is an $924 million financial holding company headquartered in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. Through its banking and nonbanking subsidiaries, ACNB provides a full range of banking and financial services to individuals and businesses, including commercial and retail banking, trust, accounting and insurance. ACNB's operations are conducted through its primary operating subsidiary, Adams County National Bank, with nineteen offices in Adams, Cumberland and York Counties. The Corporation was organized in 1983 and has had no acquisitions for the previous five years. However, on November 19, 2004, ACNB Corporation and ACNB Acquisition Subsidiary LLC entered into a definitive agreement to purchase Russell Insurance Group, Inc. Under the terms of the definitive agreement, ACNB Corporation agreed to pay $4,750,000 in cash to acquire Russell Insurance Group. Additional consideration of up to $2,882,000 is subject to performance criteria for payment over the next three years. On January 5, 2005, ACNB Corporation and ACNB Acquisition Subsidiary, LLC completed the acquisition of Russell Insurance Group, Inc. and Russell Insurance Group, Inc. will continue to operate as a separate subsidiary of ACNB Corporation. In addition, ACNB Acquisition Subsidiary LLC has entered into a three year employment contract with Frank C. Russell, Jr., the President of Russell Insurance Group, Inc. For more information concerning this transaction please refer to the ACNB Corporation, ACNB Acquisition Subsidiary LLC and Russell Insurance Group Stock Purchase Agreement included as Exhibit 10.2 hereto, incorporated in entirety by reference in response to this Item I. 3 ACNB's major source of operating funds is dividends that it receives from its subsidiary bank. ACNB's expenses consist principally of losses from low-income housing investments. Dividends that ACNB pays to stockholders consist of dividends declared and paid to ACNB by the subsidiary bank. ACNB and its subsidiaries are not dependent upon a single customer or a small number of customers, the loss of which would have a material adverse effect on the Corporation. ACNB does not depend on foreign sources of funds, nor does it make foreign loans. The common stock of ACNB is listed on the Over The Counter Bulletin Board under the symbol ACNB. Commercial lending includes commercial mortgages, real estate development, accounts receivable financing, and agricultural loans. Consumer lending programs include home equity loans, automobile and recreational vehicle loans, and manufactured housing loans. Mortgage lending programs include personal residential mortgages, residential construction loans, and speculative construction loans. Management measures the net interest income of each segment based upon the earnings and fees for each segment recognized less the charge for the funds used. The charge for funds used is based on the average cost of funds used by the respective segment. Other non-interest expense, which includes salaries and employee benefits, occupancy and equipment expense, and other expenses, is allocated to each segment and is netted against net interest income after provision to possible loan losses to arrive at income before income taxes for each respective segment. BANKING SUBSIDIARY ADAMS COUNTY NATIONAL BANK Adams County National Bank is a full-service commercial bank operating under charter from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. The Bank's principal market area is Adams County, Pennsylvania, which is located in south central Pennsylvania. Adams County depends on agriculture, industry and tourism to provide employment for its residents. No single sector dominates the county's economy. At December 31, 2004, Adams County National Bank had total assets of $917 million, total loans of $441 million and total deposits of $647 million. The main office of the bank is located at 16 Lincoln Square, Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. In addition to its main office, the bank has thirteen branches in Adams County, two branches in York County, and three branches in Cumberland County. Adams County National Bank's service delivery channels for its customers also include the ATM network, Customer Contact Center, Internet and telephone banking. The Bank is subject to regulation and periodic examination by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, as provided by law, insures the bank's deposits. NONBANKING SUBSIDIARY PENNBANKS INSURANCE CO. Pennbanks Insurance Co. was organized in 2000 and holds an unrestricted Class "B" Insurer's License under Cayman Islands Insurance Law. The segregated portfolio is engaged in the business of reinsuring credit life and credit accident and disability risks. Total assets of the segregated portfolio as of December 31, 2004 totaled $452,000. 4 COMPETITION The financial services industry in ACNB's market area is highly competitive, including competition from commercial banks, savings banks, credit unions, finance companies and nonbank providers of financial services. Several of ACNB's competitors have legal lending limits that exceed those of ACNB's subsidiary, as well as funding sources on the capital markets that exceed ACNB's availability. The increased competition has resulted from a changing legal and regulatory climate, as well as from the economic climate. In addition, savings banks, savings and loan associations, credit unions, money market and other mutual funds, mortgage companies, leasing companies, finance companies, and other financial services companies offer competitive products and services similar in terms to those offered by ACNB. Many bank holding companies have elected to become financial holding companies under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, which gives them a broader range of products with which the bank must compete. Although the long-range effects of this development cannot be predicted, most probably it will further narrow the differences and intensify competition among commercial banks, investment banks, insurance firms and other financial services companies. SUPERVISION AND REGULATION BANK HOLDING COMPANY REGULATION BANK HOLDING COMPANY ACT OF 1956 - ACNB is a financial holding company and is subject to the regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956. Bank holding companies are required to file periodic reports with and are subject to examination by the Federal Reserve. The Federal Reserve has issued regulations under the Bank Holding Company Act that require a financial holding company to serve as a source of financial and managerial strength to its subsidiary bank. As a result, the Federal Reserve may require ACNB to stand ready to use its resources to provide adequate capital funds to the bank during periods of financial stress or adversity. In addition, the Federal Reserve may require a financial holding company to end a nonbanking business if the nonbanking business constitutes a serious risk to the financial soundness and stability of any bank subsidiary of the financial holding company. The Bank Holding Company Act prohibits ACNB from acquiring direct or indirect control of more than 5% of the outstanding voting stock of any bank, or substantially all of the assets of any bank, or merging with another bank holding company, without the prior approval of the Federal Reserve. The Bank Holding Company Act allows interstate bank acquisitions and interstate branching by acquisition and consolidation in those states that had not elected out by the required deadline. The Pennsylvania Department of Banking also must approve any similar consolidation. Pennsylvania law permits Pennsylvania financial holding companies to control an unlimited number of banks. In addition, the Bank Holding Company Act restricts ACNB's nonbanking activities to those that are determined by the Federal Reserve Board to be financial in nature, incidental to such financial activity, or complementary to a financial activity. The Bank Holding Company Act does not place territorial restrictions on the activities of nonbank subsidiaries of financial holding companies. 5 GRAMM-LEACH-BLILEY ACT OF 1999 - The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 eliminated many of the restrictions placed on the activities of bank holding companies that become financial holding companies. Among other things, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act repealed certain Glass-Steagall Act restrictions on affiliations between banks and securities firms, and amended the Bank Holding Company Act to permit bank holding companies that are financial holding companies to engage in activities, and acquire companies engaged in activities, that are: financial in nature (including insurance underwriting, insurance company portfolio investment, financial advisory, securities underwriting, dealing and market-making, and merchant banking activities); incidental to financial activities; or complementary to financial activities if the Federal Reserve determines that they pose no substantial risk to the safety or soundness of depository institutions or the financial system in general. The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act also permits national banks, under certain circumstances, to engage through special financial subsidiaries in the financial and other incidental activities authorized for financial holding companies. REGULATION W - Transactions between a bank and its "affiliates" are quantitatively and qualitatively restricted under the Federal Reserve Act. The Federal Deposit Insurance Act applies Sections 23A and 23B to insured nonmember banks in the same manner and to the same extent as if they were members of the Federal Reserve System. The Federal Reserve has also issued Regulation W, which codifies prior regulations under Sections 23A and 23B of the Federal Reserve Act, and interpretative guidance with respect to affiliate transactions. Regulation W incorporates the exemption from the affiliate transaction rules, but expands the exemption to cover the purchase of any type of loan or extension of credit from an affiliate. Affiliates of a bank include, among other entities, the bank's holding company and companies that are under common control with the bank. ACNB Corporation and Russell Insurance Group, Inc. are considered to be affiliates of Adams County National Bank. RECENT LEGISLATION USA PATRIOT ACT OF 2001 - In October 2001, the USA Patriot Act of 2001 was enacted in response to the terrorist attacks in New York, Pennsylvania and Washington, D.C., which occurred on September 11, 2001. The Patriot Act is intended to strengthen U.S. law enforcement's and the intelligence communities' abilities to work cohesively to combat terrorism on a variety of fronts. The potential impact of the Patriot Act on financial institutions of all kinds is significant and wide ranging. The Patriot Act contains sweeping anti-money laundering and financial transparency laws and imposes various regulations, including standards for verifying client identification at account opening, and rules to promote cooperation among financial institutions, regulators and law enforcement entities in identifying parties that may be involved in terrorism or money laundering. SARBANES-OXLEY ACT OF 2002 - On July 30, 2002, President Bush signed into law the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or the SOA. The stated goals of the SOA are to increase corporate responsibility, to provide for enhanced penalties for accounting and auditing improprieties at publicly traded companies, and to protect investors by improving the accuracy and reliability of corporate disclosures pursuant to the securities law. The SOA is the most far-reaching U.S. securities legislation enacted in some time. The SOA generally applies to all companies, both U.S. and non-U.S., that file or are required to file periodic reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the Exchange Act. Given the extensive SEC role in implementing rules relating to many of the SOA's new requirements, the final scope of these requirements remains to be determined. The SOA includes very specific additional disclosure requirements and new corporate governance rules; requires the SEC and securities exchanges to adopt extensive additional disclosure, corporate governance and other related rules; and, mandates further studies of certain issues by the SEC. The SOA represents significant federal involvement in matters traditionally left to state regulatory systems, such as the regulation of the accounting profession, and to state corporate law, such as the relationship between a board of directors and management and between a board of directors and its committees. 6 The SOA addresses, among other matters: o Audit committees for all reporting companies; o Certification of financial statements by the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer; o The forfeiture of bonuses or other incentive-based compensation and profits from the sale of an issuer's securities by directors and senior officers in the twelve-month period following initial publication of any financial statements that later require restatement; o A prohibition on insider trading during pension plan black out periods; o Disclosure of off-balance sheet transactions; o A prohibition on personal loans to directors and officers; o Expedited filing requirements for Forms 4s; o Disclosure of a code of ethics and filing a Form 8-K for a change or waiver of such code; o "Real time" filing of periodic reports; o Formation of a public accounting oversight board; o Auditor independence; and, o Increased criminal penalties for violations of securities laws. The SOA contains provisions that became effective upon enactment on July 30, 2002 and provisions that will become effective from within 30 days to one year from enactment. The SEC has been delegated the task of enacting rules to implement various provisions with respect to, among other matters, disclosure in periodic filings pursuant to the Exchange Act. THE AMERICAN JOBS CREATION ACT OF 2004 - In 2004, the American Jobs Creation Act was enacted as the first major corporate tax act in years. The act addresses a number of areas of corporate taxation including executive deferred compensation restrictions. The impact of the act on ACNB is unknown at this time, but management is monitoring its developments. DIVIDENDS ACNB is a legal entity separate and distinct from its subsidiary bank. ACNB's revenues, on a parent company only basis, result almost entirely from dividends paid to the corporation by its subsidiary. Federal and state laws regulate the payment of dividends by ACNB's subsidiary. See "Regulation of Bank" below. REGULATION OF BANK The operations of the subsidiary bank are subject to federal and state statutes applicable to banks chartered under the banking laws of the United States, to members of the Federal Reserve System, and to banks whose deposits are insured by the FDIC. The bank's operations are also subject to regulations of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, Federal Reserve and FDIC. The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, which has primary supervisory authority over national banks, regularly examines banks in such areas as reserves, loans, investments, management practices, and other aspects of operations. These examinations are designed for the protection of the bank's depositors rather than ACNB's shareholders. The subsidiary bank must file quarterly and annual reports to the Federal Financial Institutions Examinations Council or FFIEC. 7 NATIONAL BANK ACT - The National Bank Act requires the subsidiary national bank to obtain the prior approval of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency for the payment of dividends if the total of all dividends declared by the bank in one year would exceed the bank's net profits in the current year, as defined and interpreted by regulation, plus retained earnings for the two preceding years, less any required transfers to surplus. In addition, the bank may only pay dividends to the extent that the retained net profits, including the portion transferred to surplus, exceed statutory bad debts, as defined by regulation. These restrictions have not had, nor are they expected to have, any impact on the corporation's dividend policy. FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION ACT OF 1991 - Under the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Insurance Act of 1991, any depository institution, including the bank, is prohibited from paying any dividends, making other distributions or paying any management fees if, after such payment, it would fail to satisfy the minimum capital requirement. FEDERAL RESERVE ACT - A subsidiary bank of a bank holding company is subject to certain restrictions and reporting requirements imposed by the Federal Reserve Act, including: o Extensions of credit to the bank holding company, its subsidiaries or principal shareholders; o Investments in the stock or other securities of the bank holding company o or its subsidiaries; and, o Taking such stock or securities as collateral for loans. COMMUNITY REINVESTMENT ACT OF 1977 - Under the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977, the OCC is required to assess the record of all financial institutions regulated by it to determine if these institutions are meeting the credit needs of the community, including low and moderate income neighborhoods, which they serve and to take this record into account in its evaluation of any application made by any of such institutions for, among other things, approval of a branch or other deposit facility, office relocation, a merger or an acquisition of bank shares. The Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989 amended the CRA to require, among other things, that the OCC make publicly available the evaluation of a bank's record of meeting the credit needs of its entire community, including low and moderate income neighborhoods. This evaluation will include a descriptive rating like "outstanding," "satisfactory," "needs to improve" or "substantial noncompliance" and a statement describing the basis for the rating. These ratings are publicly disclosed. FDICIA - The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 (FDICIA) requires that institutions be classified, based on their risk-based capital ratios into one of five defined categories, as illustrated below: well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized and critically undercapitalized.
UNDER A TOTAL RISK TIER 1 TIER 1 CAPITAL BASED RISK BASED LEVERAGE ORDER OR RATIO RATIO RATIO DIRECTIVE ------------- -------------- ------------- ------------- CAPITAL CATEGORY Well capitalized >10.0 >6.0 >5.0% NO Adequately capitalized >8.0 >4.0 >4.0%* Undercapitalized <8.0 <4.0 <4.0%* Significantly undercapitalized <6.0 <3.0 <3.0% Critically undercapitalized <2.0%
* 3.0 for those banks having the highest available regulatory rating. 8 In the event an institution's capital deteriorates to the undercapitalized category or below, FDICIA prescribes an increasing amount of regulatory intervention, including: the institution of a capital restoration plan and a guarantee of the plan by a parent institution; and the placement of a hold on increases in assets, number of branches or lines of business. If capital has reached the significantly or critically undercapitalized levels, further material restrictions can be imposed, including restrictions on interest payable on accounts, dismissal of management and, in critically undercapitalized situations, appointment of a receiver. For well capitalized institutions, FDICIA provides authority for regulatory intervention where the institution is deemed to be engaging in unsafe or unsound practices or receives a less than satisfactory examination report rating for asset quality, management, earnings or liquidity. All but well capitalized institutions are prohibited from accepting brokered deposits without prior regulatory approval. Under FDICIA, financial institutions are subject to increased regulatory scrutiny and must comply with certain operational, managerial and compensation standards to be developed by Federal Reserve Board regulations. FDICIA also requires the regulators to issue new rules establishing certain minimum standards to which an institution must adhere including standards requiring a minimum ratio of classified assets to capital, minimum earnings necessary to absorb losses and minimum ratio of market value to book value for publicly held institutions. Additional regulations are required to be developed relating to internal controls, loan documentation, credit underwriting, interest rate exposure, asset growth and excessive compensation, fees and benefits. ACNB and its subsidiary bank are affected by the monetary and fiscal policies of government agencies, including the Federal Reserve and FDIC. Through open market securities transactions and changes in its discount rate and reserve requirements, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve exerts considerable influence over the cost and availability of funds for lending and investment. The nature of monetary and fiscal policies on future business and earnings of ACNB cannot be predicted at this time. From time to time, various federal and state legislation is proposed that could result in additional regulation of, and restrictions on, the business of ACNB and the subsidiary bank, or otherwise change the business environment. Management cannot predict whether any of this legislation will have a material effect on the business of ACNB. ACCOUNTING POLICY DISCLOSURE Disclosure of the Corporation's significant accounting policies is included in Note A to the consolidated financial statements. Some of these policies are particularly sensitive requiring significant judgments, estimates and assumptions to be made by management. Additional information is contained in Management's Discussion and Analysis for the most sensitive of these issues, including the provision and allowance for loan losses which are located in Note D to the consolidated financial statements. Management, in determining the allowance for loan losses, makes significant estimates. Consideration is given to a variety of factors in establishing this estimate. In estimating the allowance for loan losses, management considers current economic conditions, diversification of the loan portfolio, delinquency statistics, results of internal loan review, financial and managerial strengths of borrowers, adequacy of collateral, if collateral dependent, or present value of future cash flows, and other relevant factors. 9 STATISTICAL DISCLOSURES The following statistical disclosures are included in Management's Discussion and Analysis, Item 7 hereof, and are incorporated by reference in this Item 1: o Interest Rate Sensitivity Analysis o Interest Income and Expense, Volume and Rate Analysis o Investment Portfolio o Loan Maturity and Interest Rate Sensitivity o Loan Portfolio o Allocation of Allowance for Loan Losses o Deposits o Short-Term Borrowings AVAILABLE INFORMATION The Corporation's reports, proxy statements and other information are available for inspection and copying at the Public Reference Room at Judiciary Plaza, 450 Fifth Street, N.W., Washington, DC, 20549, at prescribed rates.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES The accounting policies that the Corporation's management deems to be most important to the portrayal of its financial condition and results of operations, and that require management's most difficult, subjective or complex judgment, often result in the need to make estimates about the effect of such matters which are inherently uncertain. The following policies are deemed to be critical accounting policies by management: The allowance for loan losses represents management's estimate of probable losses inherent in our loan portfolio. Management makes numerous assumptions, estimates and adjustments in determining an adequate allowance. The Corporation assesses the level of potential loss associated with its loan portfolio and provides for that exposure through an Allowance for Loan Losses. The allowance is established through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings. The allowance is an estimate of the losses inherent in the loan portfolio as of the end of each reporting period. The Corporation assesses the adequacy of its allowance on a quarterly basis. The specific methodologies applied on a consistent basis are discussed in greater detail under the caption, "Allowance for Loan Losses," in a subsequent section of the following Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. The evaluation of securities for other than temporary impairment requires a significant amount of judgment. In estimating other than temporary impairment losses, management considers various factors, including length of time the fair value has been below cost, the financial condition of the issuer and the intent and ability of the corporation to hold the securities until recovery. Declines in fair value that are determined to be other than temporary are charged against earnings. For additional information see Footnote C in the Corporation's December 31, 2004 financial statements. 13 EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW The Corporation's executive management team and board of directors have identified two performance measurements that they feel are key elements of enhancing shareholder value. These include: a) increase in earnings per share; and b) return on realized equity. The primary source of the Corporation's revenues is net interest income derived from loans and investments, less their deposit and borrowing funding costs. Revenues are influenced by general economic factors, including market interest rates, the economy of the markets served, stock market conditions, as well as competitive forces within the markets. Because of a low interest rate environment and overall decline in the financial services industry's net interest margin, the Corporation was unable to improve its net interest margin during 2004, but it has stabilized at 2.92% and 2.96% in 2004 and 2003, down from 3.91% in 2002. The stabilization during 2004 was primarily the result of a stronger emphasis on the securities portfolio as management leveraged the Corporation's interest earning assets. In addition, average loans increased 9.1% from 2003 to 2004 as compared to 5.8% from 2002 to 2003. Net interest income increased to $24,569,000 in 2004, compared to $22,744,000 in 2003, and $24,341,000 in 2002. Other income was $5,865,000, $9,429,000, and $5,028,000 in 2004, 2003 and 2002. The significant decrease from 2003 was primarily caused by a gain recognized from life insurance proceeds of $2,161,000 and an $879,000 decrease in gains on sale of securities. Other expense increased to $18,571,000 in 2004, compared to $17,998,000 in 2003 and $16,988,000 in 2002. This increase can be attributed to necessary emphasis on new technology to serve our customers better and to comply with new government regulations, and expansion of our market in to new geographic regions. These efforts have resulted in increases in salaries and employee benefits, higher occupancy and equipment charges, and other operating expenses. The Corporation's overall strategy is to enhance growth in existing markets and complement this with new products and services through the leveraging of existing resources. This has resulted in net income of $9,308,000, or $1.71 per share in 2004, compared to $10,768,000, or $1.98 per share in 2003, and $8,904,000, or $1.64 per share in 2002. Without the unusual occurrence of $2,161,000 in insurance proceeds, net income during 2003 would have been $8,607,000 or $1.58. Returns on average equity were 12.84%, 15.41% and 13.45% in 2004, 2003 and 2002. A more thorough discussion of Corporation's results of operations is included in the following pages. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS SAB 105 In March 2004, the SEC released Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 105, "Application of Accounting Principles to Loan Commitments." SAB 105 provides guidance about the measurements of loan commitments recognized at fair value under FASB Statement No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." SAB 105 also requires companies to disclose their accounting policy for those loan commitments including methods and assumptions used to estimate fair value and associated hedging strategies. SAB 105 is effective for all loan commitments accounted for as derivatives that are entered into after March 31, 2004. The adoption of SAB 105 did not have any impact on our consolidated financial statements. 14 SOP 03-3 In December 2003, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee issued Statement of Position 03-3 (SOP 03-3), "Accounting for Certain Loans or Debt Securities Acquired in a Transfer." SOP 03-3 addresses accounting for differences between contractual cash flows and cash flows expected to be collected from an investor's initial investment in loans or debt securities acquired in a transfer, including business combinations, if those differences are attributable, at least in part, to credit quality. SOP 03-3 is effective for loans or debt securities acquired in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2004. The Corporation adopted the provisions of SOP 03-3 effective January 1, 2005, and the initial implementation did not have any impact on the Corporation's consolidated financial statements. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS NET INTEREST INCOME The primary source of ACNB's traditional banking revenue is net interest income, which represents the difference between interest income on earning assets and interest expense on liabilities used to fund those assets. Earning assets include loans, securities, and federal funds sold. Interest-bearing funds include deposits and borrowings. Net interest income is affected by changes in interest rates, volume of interest bearing assets and liabilities, and the composition of those assets and liabilities. The "interest rate spread" and "net interest margin" are two common statistics related to changes in net interest income. The interest rate spread represents the difference between the yields earned on interest earning assets and the rates paid for interest bearing liabilities. The net interest margin is defined as the percentage of net interest income to average earning assets, which also considers the Corporation's net noninterest bearing funding sources, the largest of which are noninterest bearing demand deposits and stockholders' equity. 15 The following table includes average balances, rates and interest income and expense, the interest rate spread and the net interest margin:

For yield calculation purposes, non-accruing loans are included in average loan balances. Interest income on loans includes amortized fees and costs on loans totaling $186,000 in 2004, $637,000 in 2003 and $420,000 in 2002. Table 1 presents balance sheet items on a daily average basis, net interest income, interest rate spread, and net interest margin for the years ending December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002. Table 2 analyzes the relative impact on net interest income for changes in the volume of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and changes in rates earned and paid by the Corporation on such assets and liabilities. 16 Net interest income totaled $24,569,000 in 2004, compared to $22,744,000 in 2003, and $24,341,000 in 2002. The increase in net interest income during 2004 was primarily related to an increase in average earning assets. During 2003, net interest income declined as a result of a decline in rates, partially offset by an increase in interest bearing assets. The net interest margin during 2004 was 2.92% compared to 2.96% during 2003. The decline in margin was primarily related to a decrease in average net noninterest bearing sources, primarily non-interest bearing demand deposits and stockholders' equity, as a percentage of interest bearing assets from 12.38% during 2003 to 11.75% during 2004. The yield on interest earning assets and cost of interest bearing liabilities declined by 0.29% during 2004. The net interest margin during 2003 was 2.96% compared to 3.91% during 2002. Several factors impacted the net interest margin for 2003. First, ACNB was in an asset sensitive interest rate risk position in 2003, and interest earning assets repriced more quickly than interest bearing liabilities. Longer-term funding sources, including certificates of deposit, have to reach their maturity date to reprice. The yield on interest earning assets declined by 1.29% while the cost of interest bearing liabilities declined only 0.53%. Second, ACNB had a less profitable interest earning asset mix, as deposits and borrowings were used to fund securities because loan growth remained weak. Finally, the market area served by ACNB is highly competitive, resulting in financial institutions pricing quality credits competitively in order to increase volume. Average earning assets were $840,297,000 in 2004, an increase of 9.5% over the 2003 balance of $767,597,000. Average earning assets for 2002 were $622,890,000. Securities growth was the primary contributor to the increase in average earning assets during these periods with loans remaining a secondary source. A rate/volume analysis detailed in Table 2 shows that the significant increase in interest income change in 2004 was centered in taxable securities volume while the largest decrease in interest expense was in savings deposits. Positive volume changes in net interest income in 2003 were more than offset by negative rate changes. Management's emphasis on additional loan and security volume in 2004 resulted in increased net interest income and this emphasis will continue in 2005. Higher interest rates should also have a positive impact on net interest income. Average interest bearing liabilities were $741,546,000 in 2004, up from $672,581,000 in 2003, and $516,897,000 in 2002. Loan and securities growth was primarily funded by an increase in interest bearing liabilities in 2004 and 2003, with a continued shift in mix from time deposits to borrowed money and lower-cost demand and savings deposits. The following table shows changes in net interest income attributed to changes in rates and changes in average balances of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities:

The net change attributable to the combination of rate and volume has been allocated to the change is due to volume and rate. For yield calculation purposes, non-accruing loans are included in average balances. PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES The provision for loan losses charged against earnings was $300,000 in 2004, compared to $265,000 in 2003 and $370,000 in 2002. ACNB adjusts the provision for loan losses periodically as necessary to maintain the allowance at a level deemed to meet the risk characteristics of the loan portfolio. See further discussion in the "Asset Quality" discussion of this annual report. OTHER INCOME Other income was $5,865,000 for the year ended December 31, 2004, a $3,564,000 decrease from 2003. The decrease was primarily the result of a $2,161,000 gain realized from insurance proceeds due to the death of an executive officer during 2003 and $1,992,000 of gains on sales of securities during 2003 as compared to $1,113,000 during 2004. Excluding the gain from insurance proceeds and gains from sales of securities, other income totaled $5,276,000 during 2003 as compared to $5,028,000 during 2002. Income from fiduciary activities, which includes both institutional and personal trust management services and brokerage service fees, totaled $714,000 for the year ended December 31, 2004, as compared to $663,000 during 2003 and $683,000 in 2002. At December 31, 2004, ACNB had total assets under administration of approximately $74,000,000, up 15.6% compared to $64,000,000 at the end of 2003 and $59,000,000 at the end of 2002. The increase in income was the result of an increase in assets under management. Other income was $862,000 for the year ended December 31, 2004, a decrease of $635,000 as compared to income of $1,497,000 during 2003. Other income during 2002 totaled $1,538,000. The major factors in the decline in 2004 as compared to 2003 were a decline in gains on loan sales from $337,000 during 2003 to $113,000 during 2004, which is a result of a major slowdown in mortgage refinancings and a gain on sale of bank real estate of $173,000 during 2003. 18 OTHER EXPENSE The largest component of other expense is salaries and employee benefits, which decreased $18,000, or 0.2%, to $9,884,000 in 2004, after increasing by $448,000, or 4.7%, in 2003. The decrease in salary and employee benefits was the result of loan expenses deferred in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 91. Excluding the increase in the SFAS No. 91 adjustment, salaries and benefits would have increased by $423,000 or 4.3%. The change in salaries and employee benefits during 2004, 2003 and 2002 is attributable to the following factors: o Normal merit increases to employees; o Increases in administrative personnel expense as the bank's strategic direction continues to focus on greater growth; and, o Increases in employee benefit costs, particularly health and welfare benefit plans, consistent with the rising health care cost trend noted nationwide and increased net periodic pension costs due to the underperformance of investments in the pension plan. Net occupancy expense was $952,000 in 2004, $933,000 in 2003, and $829,000 in 2002 and furniture and equipment expense totaled $2,131,000 during 2004 as compared to $1,960,000 during 2003 and $1,411,000 during 2002. The increases were the result of additional operational expenses and maintenance associated with the overall bank growth and more sophisticated delivery channels offered to the bank's customer base. Professional services expense totaled $730,000 during 2004, as compared to $543,000 for 2003 and $648,000 during 2002. During 2004, due diligence fees for the acquisition of Russell Insurance Group were included in professional services. During 2002, payments for the rights to and implementation of Overdraft Privilege were included in professional services expense. The overdraft privilege service allows checking account overdrafts up to a pre set dollar amount with a fee for every check paid. The Corporation experienced an increase in service charges on deposits during 2002 as compared 2001. Other operating expenses totaled $3,251,000 during 2004, compared to $3,084,000 during 2003 and $3,060,000 in 2002. Significant expense components in this category include marketing and advertising and Pennsylvania Bank Shares Tax. INCOME TAX EXPENSE ACNB recognized income taxes of $2,255,000, or 19.5% of pretax income during 2004 as compared to $3,142,000, or 22.6% of pre-tax income during 2003, and $3,107,000, or 25.9% of pre-tax income in 2002. The variances from the federal statutory rate of 35% are generally due to tax-exempt income and investments in low-income housing partnerships (which qualify for federal tax credits). The decline in the effective tax rate during 2004 is a result of historical tax credits of $891,000 associated with a low income housing project. The downward trend in the effective tax rate from 2002 to 2004 is consistent with the increase in tax-free investment securities and low income housing credits during this period. At December 31, 2004, net deferred tax assets amounted to $2,702,000. Deferred tax assets are realizable primarily through future reversal of existing taxable temporary differences. Management currently anticipates future earnings will be adequate to utilize the net deferred tax assets. 19 FINANCIAL CONDITION Average earning assets increased in 2004 to $840,297,000 or 9.5% or from $767,597,000 in 2003, and $622,890,000 in 2002. ACNB's investment portfolio has increased over the last three years, as a result of planned growth using borrowed funds. To a lesser degree, growth in commercial and consumer loans contributed to the increase in average earning assets. Average funding sources, or interest bearing liabilities, increased in 2004 to $741,546,000 from $672,581,000 in 2003, and $516,897,000 in 2002. INVESTMENT SECURITIES ACNB uses investment securities to generate interest and dividend income, to manage interest rate risk, and to provide liquidity. The growth in the security portfolio, in part, reflects the trends in loans, deposits, and borrowed funds during 2004 and 2003. As deposit and borrowing growth outpaced loan growth during 2004 and 2003, excess funding was invested in the securities portfolio. Much of the investment activity focused on U.S. Government agencies, tax-free municipal, and corporate securities. These securities provide the appropriate characteristics with respect to yield and maturity relative to the management of the overall balance sheet. At December 31, 2004, the securities balance included a net unrealized loss on available for sale securities of $1,762,000, net of taxes, versus a net unrealized gain of $442,000, net of taxes at December 31, 2003. The reduction in interest rates during 2003 led to the appreciation in the fair value of securities during 2003. The following tables set forth the composition of the securities portfolio and the securities maturity schedule, including weighted average yield, as of the dates indicated:

Securities are at amortized cost. Mortgage-backed securities are allocated based upon scheduled maturities. LOANS Loans outstanding increased $25,540,000, or 6.1% in 2004, compared to 10.7% growth experienced in 2003. The growth in loans is consistent with a stable local economy and lending to support existing customers. The commercial loan portfolio experienced solid growth during 2003, increasing by approximately $17,000,000. The commercial loan growth experienced in 2004 is the result of actively marketing to local businesses. Additionally, ACNB has been able to participate with other institutions on larger loans.

21 Most of the Corporation's activities are with customers located within the south central Pennsylvania and northern Maryland region of the country. The Corporation does not have any significant concentrations greater than 10% of loans to any one industry or customer. ASSET QUALITY ACNB loan portfolios are subject to varying degrees of credit risk. Credit risk is mitigated through prudent underwriting standards, on-going credit review, and monitoring and reporting asset quality measures. Additionally, loan portfolio diversification, limiting exposure to a single industry or borrower, and requiring collateral also reduces ACNB's credit risk. ACNB's commercial, consumer and residential mortgage loans are principally to borrowers in south central Pennsylvania and northern Maryland. As the majority of ACNB's loans are located in this area, a substantial portion of the debtor's ability to honor their obligations may be affected by the level of economic activity in the market area. The unemployment rate in ACNB's market area remained below the national average during 2004. Additionally, reasonably low interest rates, a stable local economy and minimal inflation continued to support favorable economic conditions in the area. Nonperforming assets include nonaccrual and restructured loans, accruing loans past due 90 days or more and other foreclosed assets. ACNB's general policy has been to cease accruing interest on loans when management determines that a reasonable doubt exists as to the collectibility of additional interest. When management places a loan on non-accrual status, it reverses unpaid interest credited to income in the current year. ACNB recognizes income on these loans only to the extent that it receives cash payments. ACNB occasionally returns nonaccrual loans to performing status when the borrower brings the loan current and performs in accordance with contractual terms for a reasonable period of time. ACNB categorizes a loan as restructured if it changes the terms of the loan such as interest rate, repayment schedule or both, to terms that it otherwise would not have granted originally. The following table sets forth the Corporation's non-performing assets as of the dates indicated:
TABLE 7 - NON-PERFORMING ASSETS 2004 2003 2002 2001 2000 ------------ ------------- ------------ ------------ ------------ DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS Non-accrual loans $8,054 $4,413 $1,037 $837 $1,318 Accruing loans 90 days past due 160 606 1,379 1,003 1,528 ------------ ------------- ------------ ------------ ------------ TOTAL NON-PERFORMING LOANS 8,214 5,019 2,416 1,840 2,846 Foreclosed real estate 213 394 559 1,646 981 ------------ ------------- ------------ ------------ ------------ TOTAL NON-PERFORMING ASSETS $8,427 $5,413 $2,975 $3,486 $3,827 ============ ============= ============ ============ ============ Ratios: Non-performing loans to total loans 1.86% 1.21% 0.65% 0.51 0.79% Non-performing assets to total assets 0.91% 0.62% 0.40% 0.55 0.67% Allowance for loan losses to non- performing loans 47.94% 79.26% 158.82% 202.34 129.83%
22 If interest due on all nonaccrual loans had been accrued at original contract rates, it is estimated that income before income taxes would have been greater by $384,000 in 2004, $82,000 in 2003, and $55,000 in 2002. Impaired loans at December 31, 2004 and 2003 totaled $7,539,000 and $200,000, respectively. The related allowance for loan losses totaled $619,000 and $20,000, respectively. The increase in nonaccrual and impaired loans during 2004 is related to 3 commercial loan relationships, which are collateralized by real estate. Even though all 3 relationships' payments were current as of December 31, 2004, they were classified as nonaccrual and impaired during 2004 because cash flows reported by the related companies are not sufficient to service the debt. Potential problem loans are defined as performing loans that have characteristics that cause management to have doubts as to the ability of the borrower to perform under present loan repayment terms and which may result in the reporting of these loans as nonperforming loans in the future. Total potential problem loans approximated $5.2 million at December 31, 2004. The majority of these loans are secured by real estate with acceptable loan-to-value ratios. ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES ACNB maintains the allowance for loan losses at a level believed adequate by management to absorb potential losses in the loan portfolio and is established through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings. On a quarterly basis, the Corporation utilizes a defined methodology in determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, which considers specific credit reviews, past loan loss historical experience, and qualitative factors. This methodology, which has remained consistent for the past several years, results in an allowance consisting of two components, "allocated" and "unallocated". Management assigns internal risk ratings for each significant commercial lending relationship. Utilizing migration analysis for the previous eight quarters, management develops a loss factor test, which it then uses to estimate losses for non-rated and non-classified loans. When management finds loans with uncertain collectibility of principal and interest, it places those loans on the "problem list," and evaluates a specific reserve on a quarterly basis in order to estimate potential losses. Management's analysis considers: o adverse situations that may affect the borrower's ability to repay; o estimated value of underlying collateral; and o prevailing market conditions. 23 If management determines that a specific reserve allocation is not required, it assigns the general loss factor to determine the reserve. For homogeneous loan types, such as consumer and residential mortgage loans, management bases specific allocations on the average loss ratio for the previous three years for each specific loan pool. Additionally, management adjusts projected loss ratios for other factors, including the following: o trends in delinquency levels; o trends in non-performing and potential problem loans; o trends in composition, volume and terms of loans; o effects in changes in lending policies or underwriting procedures; o experience, ability and depth of management; o national and local economic conditions; o concentrations in lending activities; and o other factors that management may deem appropriate. Management determines the unallocated portion of the allowance for loan losses based on the following criteria: o risk of error in the specific and general reserve allocations; o other potential exposure in the loan portfolio; o variances in management's assessment of national and local economic conditions; and o other internal or external factors that management believes appropriate at that time. Management believes the above methodology accurately reflects losses inherent in the portfolio. Management charges actual loan losses to the allowance for loan losses. Management periodically updates the methodology discussed above, which reduces the difference between actual losses and estimated losses. Management bases the provision for loan losses, or lack of provision, on the overall analysis taking into account the methodology discussed above. 24 The following tables set forth information on the analysis of the allowance for loan losses and the allocation of the allowance for loan losses as of the dates indicated:

25 The allocation of the allowance for loan losses between the various loan portfolios has changed over the past few years, consistent with the historical net loss experience in each of the portfolios. The unallocated portion of the allowance reflects estimated inherent losses within the portfolio that have not been detected. The unallocated portion of the reserve exists due to risk of error in the specific and general reserve allocations, other potential exposure in the loan portfolio, variances in management's assessment of national and local economic conditions, and other internal and external factors that management believes appropriate at the time. The unallocated portion of the reserve has increased due to variances in management's assessment of national and local economic conditions as may be affected by the current political environment and other external factors. While management believes ACNB's allowance for loan losses is adequate based on information currently available, future adjustments to the reserve may be necessary due to changes in economic conditions, and management's assumptions as to future delinquencies or loss rates. PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT The increase in premises and equipment from $7,053,000 at December 31, 2003 to $11,992,000 at December 31, 2004 is primarily related to the Corporation's new Operations Center, which is scheduled to be completed during 2005. Additionally, the Corporation anticipates incurring an additional $2.8 million related to the Operations Center. DEPOSITS ACNB continues to rely on deposit growth as the primary source of funds for lending activities. Average deposits increased 5.6% or $34.9 million during 2004 compared to 15.6% during 2003. The 2003 growth was accomplished primarily through the marketing of a special money market rate account to compete with money market mutual funds. Additionally, deposits have grown as consumers have migrated towards deposit products, which are generally regarded as safer, more liquid investments as compared to the stock market. ACNB will continue to explore new products for its customers, to attract and retain other funds seeking safe havens. However, ACNB's ability to maintain and add to its deposit base may experience additional competitive pressures from the stock market and/or other alternative investment products offered by the insurance industry and others. TABLE 10 - TIME DEPOSITS Maturities of time deposits of $100,000 or more outstanding at December 31, 2004 are summarized as follows: IN THOUSANDS Three months or less $ 6,724 Over three through six months 4,446 Over six through twelve months 5,872 Over twelve months 18,958 -------- TOTAL $36,000 ======== 26 BORROWINGS Short-term borrowings are comprised primarily of securities sold under agreements to repurchase, and overnight borrowings at the Federal Home Loan Bank in Pittsburgh (FHLB). As of December 31, 2004, short-term borrowings were $64,966,000, a decrease of $4,710,000, or 6.8%, from the December 31, 2003 balance of $69,676,000.

Long-term debt consists of advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank to fund ACNB's growth in its securities portfolio. Long-term debt totaled $132,000,000 at December 31, 2004, versus $87,000,000 at December 31, 2003. The increase in long-term debt was used to fund additional investments in securities and loans. CAPITAL The management of capital in a regulated financial services industry must properly balance return on equity to stockholders while maintaining sufficient capital levels and related risk-based capital ratios to satisfy regulatory requirements. Capital management must also consider growth opportunities that may exist, and the resulting need for additional capital. ACNB's capital management strategies have been developed to provide attractive rates of returns to stockholders, while maintaining its "well-capitalized" position. The primary source of additional capital to ACNB is earnings retention, which represents net income less dividends declared. During 2004, ACNB retained $4,416,000, or 47%, of its net income as compared to $5,930,000 or 55% during 2003 and $4,120,000 or 46% during 2002. ACNB is 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 ACNB. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, ACNB 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 capital amounts and reclassifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk-weightings, and other factors. Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy requires ACNB to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of total and Tier 1 capital to average assets. Management believes, as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, that ACNB's banking subsidiary met all minimum capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject and are categorized as "well-capitalized." There are no conditions or events since the notification that management believes have changed the subsidiary bank's category. 27 TABLE 11 - RISKED-BASED CAPITAL ACNB's capital ratios are as follows:
2004 2003 -------- --------- Tier 1 leverage ratio (to average assets) 8.34 8.85 Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio (to risk-weighted assets) 13.91 13.93 Total risk-based capital ratio 14.64 14.70
LIQUIDITY Another source of liquidity is securities sold under repurchase agreement to customers of ACNB's banking subsidiary totaling $33,810,000 and $39,906,000 at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Effective liquidity management ensures the cash flow requirements of depositors and borrowers, as well as the operating cash needs of ACNB are met. ACNB's funds are available from a variety of sources, including assets that are readily convertible to such as cash and federal funds sold, maturities and repayments from the securities portfolio, scheduled repayments of loans receivable, the core deposit base, and the ability to borrow from the FHLB. At December 31, 2004, ACNB could borrow approximately $450,136,000 from the FHLB of which $287,430,000 was available. The liquidity of the parent company also represents an important aspect of liquidity management. The parent company's cash outflows consist principally of dividends to stockholders and corporate expenses. The main source of funding for the parent company is the dividends it receives from its banking subsidiary. Federal and state banking regulations place certain restrictions on dividends paid to the parent company from the subsidiary banks. The total amount of dividends that may be paid from the subsidiary bank to ACNB were $7,357,000 at December 31, 2004. For a discussion of ACNB's dividend restrictions, see Item 1 - "Business." ACNB manages liquidity by monitoring projected cash inflows and outflows on a daily basis, and believes it has sufficient funding sources to maintain sufficient liquidity under varying degrees of business conditions. The Corporation's operating cash flows totaled $11,034,000 during 2004 as compared to $12,742,000 during 2003 and $4,862,000 during 2002. The primary sources of cash flows are payments received for interest and dividends, partially offset by payments for interest on deposits and borrowings and payments for other expenses. See the cash flows statement for additional information. AGGREGATE CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS The following table represents the Corporation's on and off-balance sheet aggregate contractual obligations to make future payments as of December 31, 2004:

In addition, the Corporation in the conduct of business operations routinely enters into contracts for services. These contracts may require payment for services to be provided in the future and may also contain penalty clauses for the early termination of the contracts. 28 Management expects to incur approximately $2,775,000 in capital expenditures during 2005, approximately $2,500,000 for completion of an operations center and $275,000 for low income housing projects. Management is not aware of any other commitments or contingent liabilities which may have a material adverse impact on the liquidity or capital resources of the Corporation. OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS The Corporation 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 and, to a lesser extent, standby letters of credit. At December 31, 2004, the Corporation had unfunded outstanding commitments to extend credit of $73 million and outstanding standby letters of credit of $5,732,000. Because these commitments generally have fixed expiration dates and many will expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment level does not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Refer to footnote N of the consolidated financial statements for a discussion of the nature, business purpose and importance of the Corporation's off-balance sheet arrangements. Financial institutions can be exposed to several market risks that may impact the value or future earnings capacity of an organization. These risks involve interest rate risk, foreign currency exchange risk, commodity price risk and equity market price risk. ACNB's primary market risk is interest rate risk. Interest rate risk is inherent because as a financial institution, ACNB derives a significant amount of its operating revenue from "purchasing" funds (customer deposits and borrowings) at various terms and rates. These funds are then invested into earning assets (loans, leases, investments, etc.) at various terms and rates. This risk is further discussed below. ACNB does not have any exposure to foreign currency exchange risk, commodity price risk or equity market risk. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK INTEREST RATE RISK Interest rate risk is the exposure to fluctuations in the Corporation's future earnings (earnings at risk) and value (value at risk) resulting from changes in interest rates. This exposure results from differences between the amounts of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities that reprice within a specified time period as a result of scheduled maturities and repayment and contractual interest rate changes. The primary objective of the Corporation's asset/liability management process is to maximize current and future net interest income within acceptable levels of interest rate risk while satisfying liquidity and capital requirements. Management recognizes that a certain amount of interest rate risk is inherent, appropriate, and necessary to ensure the Corporation's profitability. Thus the goal of interest rate risk management is to maintain a balance between risk and reward such that net interest income is maximized while risk is maintained at a tolerable level. Management endeavors to control the exposure to changes in interest rates by understanding, reviewing and making decisions based on its risk position. The bank subsidiary asset/liability committee is responsible for these decisions. The Corporation primarily uses the securities portfolios and FHLB advances to manage its interest rate risk position. Additionally, pricing, promotion and product development activities are directed in an effort to emphasize the loan and deposit term or repricing characteristics that best meet current interest rate risk objectives. At present, there is no use of hedging instruments. The committee operates under management policies defining guidelines and limits on the level of risk. These policies are approved by the Board of Directors. The Corporation uses simulation analysis to assess earnings at risk and net present value analysis to assess value at risk. These methods allow management to regularly monitor both the direction and magnitude of the 29 Corporation's interest rate risk exposure. These modeling techniques involve assumptions and estimates that inherently cannot be measured with complete precision. Key assumptions in the analyses include maturity and repricing characteristics of both assets and liabilities, prepayments on amortizing assets, non-maturity deposit sensitivity, and loan and deposit pricing. These assumptions are inherently uncertain due to the timing, magnitude and frequency of rate changes and changes in market conditions and management strategies, among other factors. However, the analyses are useful in quantifying risk and provide a relative gauge of the Corporation's interest rate risk position over time. EARNINGS AT RISK Simulation analysis evaluates the effect of upward and downward changes in market interest rates on future net interest income. The analysis involves changing the interest rates used in determining net interest income over the next twelve months. The resulting percentage change in net interest income in various rate scenarios is an indication of the Corporation's shorter-term interest rate risk. The analysis utilizes a "static" balance sheet approach. The measurement date balance sheet composition (or mix) is maintained over the simulation time period, with maturing and repayment dollars being rolled back into like instruments for new terms at current market rates. Additional assumptions are applied to modify volumes and pricing under the various rate scenarios. These include prepayment assumptions on mortgage assets, the sensitivity of non-maturity deposit rates, and other factors deemed significant. The simulation analysis results are presented in Table 13a. These results as of December 31, 2004, indicate that the Corporation would expect net interest income to decrease over the next twelve months by 18.8% assuming an immediate upward shift in market interest rates of 3.00% and to decrease by 8.5% if rates shifted downward 1.00%. The results for a downward shift in market rates of 3.00% were not presented as they would not be meaningful in an already low interest rate environment. This profile reflects a liability sensitive short-term rate risk position and exceeds guidelines set by policy. However, included in this simulation were borrowings of $45,000,000 that matured in January and February of 2005 and were re-termed at 2 and 3 years with an average rate of 3.76%. The Corporation relies more on cash flow statements and a dynamic gap report for day to day operations and both indicate an asset sensitive position. The model indicates that net interest income would decline in both up and down directions of interest rates because of a large amount of transaction accounts positioned to change rates overnight. Since they are theoretically positioned to change rates immediately they cause a negative change in net interest income regardless of direction of interest rates. In actual practice, management would change these rates much more gradually than the model predicts. Since interest rates are at 50-year lows, an asset sensitive position will enable the Corporation to capitalize on rising rates. Additionally, management aims to manage interest rate risk on the asset side or the balance sheet by keeping security maturities relatively short (average of 7 years to maturity at December 31, 2004) and by trying to attract variable rate loans and commercial loans with a maximum rate lock period of no more than 5 years. VALUE AT RISK The net present value analysis provides information on the risk inherent in the balance sheet that might not be taken into account in the simulation analysis due to the shorter time horizon used in that analysis. The net present value of the balance sheet is defined as the discounted present value of expected asset cash flows minus the discounted present value of the expected liability cash flows. The analysis involves changing the interest rates used in determining the expected cash flows and in discounting the cash flows. The resulting percentage change in net present value in various rate scenarios is an indication of the longer term repricing risk and options embedded in the balance sheet. The net present value analysis results are presented in Table 13b. These results, as of December 31, 2004, indicate that the net present value would decrease 18.9% assuming an immediate upward shift in market interest rates of 3.00% and to decrease 2.0% if rates shifted 1.00% in the same manner. The results for a downward shift in market rates of 3.00% were not presented as they would not be meaningful in an already low interest rate environment. 30 The Corporation's current strategy is to extend liability maturities and keep asset maturities relatively short to protect against both greater earnings at risk and value at risk.

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. The December 31, 2003 and 2002 consolidated financial statements were audited by other auditors whose report, dated January 17, 2004, expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements. We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the 2004 consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of ACNB Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2004, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. /s/ Beard Miller Company LLP Harrisburg, Pennsylvania March 10, 2005 33

THE ACCOMPANYING NOTES ARE AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. 37 ACNB CORPORATION -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE A - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES NATURE OF OPERATIONS ACNB Corporation provides banking and financial services to businesses and consumers through its wholly-owned banking subsidiary, Adams County National Bank. The Corporation engages in full-service commercial and consumer banking and trust services through its nineteen locations in Adams, Cumberland and York counties. The Corporation, along with seven other banks, entered into a joint venture to form Pennbanks Insurance Company, an offshore reinsurance company. Each participating entity owns an insurance cell through which its premiums and losses from credit life, health and accident insurance are funded. Each entity is responsible for the activity in its respective cell. The financial activity for the insurance cell has been reported in the consolidated financial statements and is not material to the consolidated financial statements. The Corporation's primary source of revenue is interest income on loans and investment securities and fee income on its products and services. Expenses consist of interest expense on deposits and borrowed funds, provisions for loan losses, and other operating expenses. BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and include the accounts of the Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant inter-company transactions have been eliminated. Financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures of contingencies. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, fair value disclosures, the valuation of deferred tax assets, and the evaluation of other than temporary impairment of securities. Assets held by the Trust Department in an agency or fiduciary capacity for its customers are excluded from the financial statements since they do not constitute assets of the Corporation. Assets held by the Trust Department amounted to $74,000,000 and $64,000,000 at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Income from fiduciary activities is recognized on the cash method, which approximates the accrual method. SIGNIFICANT GROUP CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK Most of the Corporation's activities are with customers located within south central Pennsylvania and northern Maryland. Note C discusses the types of securities that the Corporation invests in. Note D discusses the types of lending that the Corporation engages in. The Corporation does not have any significant concentrations greater than 10% of loans to any one industry or customer. RECLASSIFICATIONS For comparative purposes, prior years' consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the 2004 presentation. Such reclassifications had no impact on net income. 38 ACNB CORPORATION -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE A - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, balances due from banks, and federal funds sold, all of which mature within ninety days. SECURITIES Debt securities that management has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as "held to maturity" and recorded at amortized cost. Securities not classified as held to maturity or trading, including equity securities with readily determinable fair values, are classified as "available for sale" and recorded at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported, net of tax, in other comprehensive income. Purchase premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the terms of the securities. Declines in the fair value of held to maturity and available for sale securities below their cost that are deemed to be other than temporary are reflected in earnings as realized losses. In estimating other-than-temporary impairment losses, management considers (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (3) the intent and ability of the Corporation to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. Gains and losses on the sale of securities are recorded on the trade date and are determined using the specific identification method. RESTRICTED INVESTMENT IN BANK STOCKS Restricted investment in bank stocks includes Federal Reserve, Atlantic Central Bankers Bank and Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) stocks. Federal law requires a member institution of the FHLB to hold stock of its district FHLB according to a predetermined formula. The stock is carried at cost. LOANS HELD FOR SALE Loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at the lower of aggregate cost or fair value, as determined by aggregate outstanding commitments from investors or current investor yield requirements. Net unrealized losses are recognized through a valuation allowance by charges to income. Mortgage loans held for sale are sold with the mortgage servicing rights released to another financial institution through a correspondent relationship. The correspondent financial institution absorbs all of the risk related to rate lock commitments. Gains or losses on sales of mortgage loans are recognized based on the difference between the selling price and the carrying value of the related mortgage loans sold. LOANS The Corporation grants mortgage, commercial and consumer loans to customers. A substantial portion of the loan portfolio is represented by mortgage loans throughout south central Pennsylvania and northern Maryland. The ability of the Corporation's debtors to honor their contracts is dependent upon the real estate and general economic conditions in this area. Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or pay-off generally are reported at their outstanding unpaid principal balances adjusted for charge-offs, the allowance for loan losses, and any deferred fees or costs on originated loans. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance. Loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination costs, are deferred and recognized as an adjustment of the related loan yield using the interest method. 39 NOTE A - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) LOANS (CONTINUED) The accrual of interest on mortgage and commercial loans is discontinued at the time the loan is 90 days past due unless the credit is well-secured and in process of collection. Personal loans are typically charged off no later than 120 days past due. Past due status is based on contractual terms of the loan. In all cases, loans are placed on non-accrual or charged-off at an earlier date if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful. All interest accrued but not collected for loans that are placed on non-accrual or charged off is reversed against interest income. The interest on these loans is accounted for on the cash-basis or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured. ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES The allowance for loan losses is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a regular basis by management and is based upon management's periodic review of the collectibility of the loans in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower's ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available. The allowance consists of specific, general and unallocated components. The specific component relates to loans that are classified as either doubtful, substandard or special mention. For such loans that are also classified as impaired, an allowance is established when the discounted cash flows (or collateral value or observable market price) of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. The general component covers non-classified loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors. An unallocated component is maintained to cover uncertainties that could affect management's estimate of probable losses. The unallocated component of the allowance reflects the margin of imprecision inherent in the underlying assumptions used in the methodologies for estimating specific and general losses in the portfolio. A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Corporation will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower's prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan by loan basis for commercial and construction loans by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, the loan's obtainable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. 40 NOTE A - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES (CONTINUED) Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, the Corporation does not separately identify individual consumer and residential loans for impairment disclosures, unless such loans are the subject of a restructuring agreement. OFF-BALANCE SHEET CREDIT RELATED FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS In the ordinary course of business, the Corporation has entered into commitments to extend credit, including commitments under commercial lines of credit, and standby letters of credit. Such financial instruments are recorded when they are funded. FORECLOSED ASSETS Assets acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure are held for sale and are initially recorded at fair value at the date of foreclosure, establishing a new cost basis. Subsequent to foreclosure, valuations are periodically performed by management and the assets are carried at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. Revenue and expenses from operations and changes in the valuation allowance are included in net expenses from foreclosed assets. Foreclosed real estate totaled $213,000 and $394,000 at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, and was included in other assets. PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT Land is carried at cost. Bank premises and furniture and equipment are carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation computed principally by the straight-line method over the assets' estimated useful lives. INVESTMENTS IN LOW INCOME HOUSING PARTNERSHIPS The Corporation's investments in low income housing partnerships are accounted for using the "cost method" prescribed by Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) No. 94-1. In accordance with EITF 94-1, tax credits are recognized as they become available. Any residual loss is amortized as the tax credits are received. TRANSFERS OF FINANCIAL ASSETS Transfers of financial assets are accounted for as sales when control over the assets has been surrendered. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when (1) the assets have been isolated from the Corporation, (2) the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets, and (3) the Corporation does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity. INCOME TAXES Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined using the liability method. Under this method, the net deferred tax asset or liability is determined based on the tax effects of the temporary differences between the book and tax bases of the various balance sheet assets and liabilities and gives current recognition to changes in tax rates and laws. RETIREMENT PLAN The compensation cost of an employee's pension benefit is recognized on the projected unit credit method over the employee's approximate service period. The aggregate cost method is utilized for funding purposes. 41 NOTE A - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) NET INCOME PER SHARE The Corporation has a simple capital structure. Basic earnings per share of common stock is computed based on 5,436,101 weighted average shares of common stock outstanding for all years presented. ADVERTISING COSTS Costs of advertising are expensed when incurred. Advertising expense was $284,000, $369,000 and $312,000 for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME Accounting principles generally require that recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses be included in net income. Changes in certain assets and liabilities, such as unrealized gains (losses) on securities available for sale and the minimum pension liability, are reported as a separate component of the stockholders' equity section of the balance sheet. Such items, along with net income, are components of comprehensive income. The components of other comprehensive income (loss) and the related tax effects are as follows:

42 NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS SAB 105 In March 2004, the SEC released Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 105, "Application of Accounting Principles to Loan Commitments." SAB 105 provides guidance about the measurements of loan commitments recognized at fair value under FASB Statement No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." SAB 105 also requires companies to disclose their accounting policy for those loan commitments including methods and assumptions used to estimate fair value and associated hedging strategies. SAB 105 is effective for all loan commitments accounted for as derivatives that are entered into after March 31, 2004. The adoption of SAB 105 did not have any impact on our consolidated financial statements. SOP 03-3 In December 2003, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee issued Statement of Position 03-3 (SOP 03-3), "Accounting for Certain Loans or Debt Securities Acquired in a Transfer." SOP 03-3 addresses accounting for differences between contractual cash flows and cash flows expected to be collected from an investor's initial investment in loans or debt securities acquired in a transfer, including business combinations, if those differences are attributable, at least in part, to credit quality. SOP 03-3 is effective for loans or debt securities acquired in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2004. The Corporation adopted the provisions of SOP 03-3 effective January 1, 2005, and the initial implementation did not have any impact on the Corporation's consolidated financial statements. NOTE B - RESTRICTIONS ON CASH AND DUE FROM BANKS In return for services obtained through correspondent banks, the Corporation is required to maintain non-interest bearing cash balances in those correspondent banks. At December 31, 2004 and 2003, compensating balances approximated $14,507,000 and $15,797,000, respectively. During 2004, 2003 and 2002, average required balances approximated $14,300,000, $13,145,000 and $11,613,000, respectively. 43 NOTE C - SECURITIES Amortized cost and fair value at December 31, 2004 and 2003 were as follows:

At December 31, 2004, 11 mortgage-backed and 4 U.S. Government and agency securities have unrealized losses, and only 3 of the securities have been in a continuous loss position for 12 months or more. These unrealized losses relate principally to changes in interest rates subsequent to the acquisition of specific securities. None of the securities in this category had an unrealized loss that exceeded 4% of book value and a majority had unrealized losses totaling less than 1% of book value. At December 31, 2004, 15 state and municipal securities and 13 corporate bonds have unrealized losses, and only 2 of the securities have been in a continuous loss position for 12 months or more. In analyzing the issuer's financial condition, management considers industry analysts' reports, financial performance and projected target prices of investment analysts within a one-year time frame. None of the securities in this category had an unrealized loss that exceeded 2% of book value and a majority had unrealized losses totaling less than 1% of book value. Management routinely sells securities from its available for sale portfolio in an effort to manage and allocate the portfolio. At December 31, 2004, management had not identified any securities with an unrealized loss that it intends to sell. As management has the ability to hold debt securities until maturity, or for the foreseeable future if classified as available for sale, no declines are deemed to be other-than-temporary. 45 NOTE C - SECURITIES (CONTINUED) Amortized cost and fair value at December 31, 2004 by contractual maturity are shown below. Expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities because issuers may have the right to call or prepay with or without penalties.

46 NOTE D - LOANS (CONTINUED) The Bank grants commercial, residential and consumer loans to customers primarily within south central Pennsylvania and northern Maryland and the surrounding area. A large portion of the loan portfolio is secured by real estate. Although the Bank has a diversified loan portfolio, its debtors' ability to honor their contracts is influenced by the region's economy. Changes in the allowance for loan losses were as follows:

Nonaccrual loans totaled $8,054,000 and $4,413,000 at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing totaled $160,000 and $606,000 at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. If interest on all nonaccrual loans had been accrued at original contract rates, it is estimated interest income would have been higher by $384,000 in 2004, $82,000 in 2003, and $55,000 in 2002. The following is a summary of information pertaining to impaired loans:

There were no impaired loans without a related valuation allowance. The increase in nonaccrual and impaired loans during 2004 is related to 3 commercial loan relationships. Payments on these loans were current as of December 31, 2004, however, cash flows reported to the Bank by each of the related companies are not sufficient to service the debt. As a result, the loans have been classified as impaired. The loans were also classified as nonaccrual as a result of a banking regulatory requirement to stop accruing interest on loans for which full payment of principal and interest is not expected. All three of the loans are collateralized by real estate. No additional funds are committed to be advanced in connection with impaired loans. 47 NOTE E - PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT Premises and equipment at December 31 were as follows:

NOTE J - RESTRICTIONS ON SUBSIDIARY DIVIDENDS, LOANS AND ADVANCES Certain restrictions exist regarding the ability of the bank to transfer funds to the Corporation in the form of cash dividends, loans or advances. The approval of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency is required to pay dividends in excess of earnings retained in the current year plus retained net profits for the preceding two years. As of December 31, 2004, $7,355,000 of undistributed earnings of the bank, included in consolidated retained earnings, was available for distribution to the Corporation as dividends without prior regulatory approval. Additionally, dividends paid by the Bank to the Corporation would be prohibited if the effect thereof would cause the Bank's capital to be reduced below applicable minimum capital requirements. Under national banking laws, the Bank is also limited as to the amount it may loan to its affiliates, including the Corporation, unless such loans are collateralized by specific obligations. At December 31, 2004, the maximum amount available for transfer from the Bank to the Corporation in the form of loans was approximately $7,151,000. 50 NOTE K - INCOME TAXES The components of income tax expense for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 are as follows:

Employees may contribute up to 100% of their compensation subject to certain limits based on federal tax laws. The Bank makes matching contributions up to 100% of the first 4% of an employee's compensation contributed to the plan. Matching contributions vest to the employee equally over a 5 year period. Bank contributions to the Plan were $276,000, $251,000 and $240,000 for 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The Corporation's banking subsidiary maintains non-qualified compensation plans for selected senior officers. The estimated present value of future benefits is accrued over the period from the effective date of the agreements until the expected retirement dates of the individuals. The balance accrued for these plans included in other liabilities as of December 31, 2004 and 2003 totaled $991,000 and $943,000, respectively.

At December 31, 2004 and 2003, the cash surrender value of these policies were $3,380,000 and $3,776,000, respectively. NOTE M - REGULATORY MATTERS The Corporation and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet the 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 Corporation's financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Corporation 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 capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk-weightings and other factors. Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Corporation and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth below) of Tier 1 capital to average assets and of Tier 1 and total capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets. Management believes, as of December 31, 2004, that the Corporation and the Bank meet all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject. 54 NOTE M - REGULATORY MATTERS (CONTINUED) As of December 31, 2004, the most recent notification from the regulators categorized the Bank as "well capitalized" under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Bank's category. The actual and required capital amounts and ratios were as follows:

55 NOTE N - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF BALANCE SHEET RISK The Corporation is a 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 consist primarily of commitments to extend credit (typically mortgages and commercial loans) and, to a lesser extent, standby letters of credit. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized on the balance sheet. The Corporation's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Corporation uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on balance sheet instruments. The Corporation does not anticipate any material losses from these commitments. Commitments to extend credit, including commitments to grant loans and unfunded commitments under lines of 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. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Corporation evaluates each customer's creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Corporation upon extensions of credit, is based on management's credit evaluation of the customer. Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property and equipment and income-producing commercial properties. On loans secured by real estate, the Corporation generally requires loan to value ratios of no greater than 80%. Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Corporation to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements and similar transactions. The terms of the letters of credit vary and may have renewal features. The credit risk involved in using letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers. The Corporation holds collateral supporting those commitments for which collateral is deemed necessary. Management believes that the proceeds obtained through a liquidation of such collateral would be sufficient to cover the maximum potential amount of future payments required under the corresponding guarantees. The current amount of the liability as of December 31, 2004 and 2003 for guarantees under standby letters of credit issued is not material. The Corporation has not been required to perform on any financial guarantees, and has not incurred any losses on its commitments, during the past two years. A summary of the Corporation's commitments at December 31 were as follows:
2004 2003 --------- -------- IN THOUSANDS Commitments to extend credit $73,268 $68,654 Standby letters of credit 5,732 5,915
56 NOTE O - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Management uses its best judgment in estimating the fair value of the Corporation's financial instruments; however, there are inherent weaknesses in any estimation technique. Therefore, for substantially all financial instruments, the fair value estimates herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Corporation could have realized in a sales transaction on the dates indicated. The estimated fair value amounts have been measured as of their respective year ends and have not been re-evaluated or updated for purposes of these consolidated financial statements subsequent to those respective dates. As such, the estimated fair values of these financial instruments subsequent to the respective reporting dates may be different than the amounts reported at each year end. The following information should not be interpreted as an estimate of the fair value of the entire Corporation since a fair value calculation is only provided for a limited portion of the Corporation's assets and liabilities. Due to a wide range of valuation techniques and the degree of subjectivity used in making the estimates, comparisons between the Corporation's disclosures and those of other companies may not be meaningful. For the following financial instruments, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value: Cash and cash equivalents Interest-bearing deposits in banks Accrued interest receivable Restricted investment in bank stocks Short-term borrowings Accrued interest payable SECURITIES Fair values for securities are based on quoted market prices, where available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based on quoted market prices of comparable securities. MORTGAGE LOANS HELD FOR SALE Fair values of mortgage loans held for sale are based on commitments on hand from investors or prevailing market prices. LOANS For variable rate loans that reprice frequently and which entail no significant changes in credit risk, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value. For fixed rate loans, fair value is estimated using discounted cash flow analysis, at interest rates currently offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality. DEPOSITS For demand deposits, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value. For time deposits, fair value is estimated using discounted cash flow analysis, at interest rates currently offered for time deposits with similar maturities. 57 NOTE O - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED) SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS The carrying amounts of federal funds purchased, borrowings under repurchase agreements, and other short-term borrowings maturing within ninety days approximate their fair values. LONG-TERM BORROWINGS The fair values of the Corporation's convertible fixed rate advances are based on quoted market values. The fair values of the Corporation's other fixed rate advances are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on the Corporation's current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements. OFF-BALANCE SHEET CREDIT-RELATED INSTRUMENTS Off-balance sheet instruments of the Bank consist of letters of credit, loan commitments and unfunded lines of credit. Fair value is estimated using fees currently charged for similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties credit standings. Any fees charged are immaterial. Estimated fair values of financial instruments at December 31 were as follows:

58 NOTE P - CONTINGENCIES The Corporation is subject to claims and lawsuits which arise primarily in the ordinary course of business. Based on information presently available and advice received from legal counsel representing the Corporation in connection with any such claims and lawsuits, it is the opinion of management that the disposition or ultimate determination of any such claims and lawsuits will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, consolidated results of operations or liquidity of the Corporation.

ITEM 9 - CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE In connection with the change of accountants for the fiscal year ended 2004, there were no disagreements with Stambaugh Ness, PC on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements if not resolved to the satisfaction of Stambaugh Ness, PC would have caused them to make reference thereto in their reports on the financial statements for such year. In addition, during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003, there were no reportable events (as defined in Regulation S-K Item 304(a)(1)(v)). 61 ITEM 9A - CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES Our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have, within 90 days of the date of this report, reviewed our process of gathering, analyzing, and disclosing information that is required to be disclosed in our periodic reports (and information that, while not required to be disclosed, may bear upon the decision of management as to what information is required to be disclosed) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including information pertaining to the condition of and material developments with respect to our business, operations, and finances. The Corporation expects to conclude its testing and evaluation of internal controls over financial reporting and management's assessment of such controls prior to filing its amended annual report on Form 10-K/A within the 45-day period provided by the exemptive order issued by the SEC on November 30, 2004. The Form 10-K/A will include a management report and auditor report on the Company's internal control over financial reporting. As a part of the annual audit of our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2004, control deficiencies have been identified regarding the preparation of certain financial statement disclosures, the review of certain types of journal entries, and approval of loans. Adjustments to the financial statement disclosures were recorded in the accompanying financial statements. In regards to the journal entry review and loan approvals deficiencies, management is in the process of testing mitigating procedures and has not assessed the type of deficiency. These control deficencies may be considered to be material weakness under the rules specified by the Public Accounting Oversight Board Auditing Standard No. 2. Based on our evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the disclosure controls and procedures, because of the matters discussed above, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2004. However, the Company believes that the accompanying financial statements fairly present the financial condition and results of operations for the fiscal years presented in this report on Form 10-K. CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING We continue to review, revise and improve the effectiveness of our internal controls including strengthening our income tax provision review control procedure noted above. We have made no significant changes in the Company's internal controls over financial reporting in connection with our fourth quarter evaluation that would materially affect, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting. ITEM 9B - OTHER INFORMATION None. 62 PART III ITEM 10 - DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS OF THE REGISTRANT The information required by this Item, relating to directors, executive officers, and control persons, is set forth in sections "Principal Beneficial Owners of the Corporation's Stock," "Information as to Nominees, Directors and Executive Officers" and "Principal Officers of the Corporation" of the Registrant's definitive Proxy Statement to be used in connection with the 2005 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, which pages are incorporated herein by reference.
