FRANKLIN FINANCIAL SERVICES CORPORATION and SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

Note 1—Basis of Presentation

        The consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001, the consolidated statements of income for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, the consolidated statements of changes in shareholders' equity for the three month periods ended March 31, 2001 and March 31, 2002 and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2002 and 2001 have been prepared by the Corporation, without audit where indicated. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows at March 31, 2002, and for all periods presented have been made.

        The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Franklin Financial Services Corporation (the Corporation), and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Farmers and Merchants Trust Company of Chambersburg (the Bank) and the Bank's wholly-owned subsidiary, Franklin Realty Services Corporation. All significant intercompany transactions and account balances have been eliminated.

        Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Corporation's 2001 Annual Report. The results of operations for the period ended March 31, 2002, are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

        For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include Cash and due from banks, Interest-bearing deposits in other banks and Federal funds sold. Generally, Federal funds are purchased and sold for one-day periods.

        Earnings per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each quarter, adjusted retroactively for stock splits and dividends. A reconciliation of the weighted average shares outstanding used to calculate basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share follows:

NOTE 3—Stock Repurchase Program

        On March 7, 2002, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to 50,000 shares of the Corporation's $1.00 par value common stock. The repurchases are authorized to be made from time to time over the next 12 months in open market or privately negotiated transactions. The repurchased shares will be held as treasury shares available for issuance in connection with future stock dividends and stock splits, employee benefit plans, executive compensation plans, and for issuance under the Dividend Reinvestment Plan and other corporate purposes. During the first quarter ended March 31, 2002, 19,788 shares of the Corporation's common stock were repurchased at a total cost of approximately $492,000. The shares were repurchased under two Board approved Plans—15,517 shares under the March 7, 2002 Plan and 4,271 shares under the Plan that was approved on March 8, 2001 and expired on March 7, 2002.

NOTE 4—Recent Accounting Pronouncements

        In June of 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." Statement No. 142 prescribes that goodwill associated with a business combination and intangible assets with an indefinite useful life should not be amortized but should be tested for impairment at least annually. The Statement requires intangibles that are separable from goodwill and that have a determinable useful life to be amortized over the determinable useful life. The provisions of this Statement became effective for the Bank in January of 2002. Amortized expense related to a customer list was $46,455 for each of the three month periods ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

        In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations," which addresses the financial accounting and reporting obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. This Statement requires that the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation be recognized in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The associated asset retirement costs are capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset. This Statement will become effective for the Bank on January 1, 2003, but is not expected to have a significant impact on the financial condition or results of operations.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Results of Operations and Financial Condition
For the Three Month Periods
Ended March 31, 2002 and 2001

Part 1, Item 2

Forward Looking Statements

        Certain statements appearing herein which are not historical in nature are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements refer to a future period or periods, reflecting management's current views as to likely future developments, and use words "may," "will," "expect," "believe," "estimate," "anticipate," or similar terms. Because forward-looking statements involve certain risks, uncertainties and other factors over which the Corporation has no direct control, actual results could differ materially from those contemplated in such statements. These factors include (but are not limited to) the following: general economic conditions, changes in interest rates, change in the Corporation's cost of funds, changes in government monetary policy, changes in government regulation and taxation of financial institutions, changes in the rate of inflation, changes in technology, the intensification of competition within the Corporation's market area, and other similar factors.

Critical Accounting Policies

        Disclosure of the Corporation's significant accounting policies is included in Note 1 of the 2001 Annual Report. Certain of these policies are particularly sensitive requiring significant judgments, estimates and assumptions to be made by management. The allowance for loan losses is one of the critical accounting policies.

        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 reviews, borrowers' perceived financial and managerial strengths, the inadequacy of the underlying collateral, if collateral dependent, or present value of future cash flows and other relevant factors.

Results of Operations

        The Corporation reported earnings of $1,418,000 for the first quarter ended March 31, 2002, as compared to $1,334,000 for the first quarter of 2001, representing an increase of 6.3%. Basic earnings per share for the first quarter of 2002 were $.53 versus $.50 per share for the first quarter of 2001. Diluted earnings per share were $.53 and $.49 for the quarters ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Per share earnings are weighted to reflect the impact of the stock repurchase program. Book value per share at March 31, 2002 equaled $16.91 versus $16.27 at March 31, 2001.

        The Corporation's annualized return on average assets (ROA) and return on average equity (ROE) for the first quarter of 2002 were 1.11% and 12.27%, respectively, compared to 1.11% and 12.05%, respectively, for the first quarter of 2001.

Net Interest Income

        Net interest income in the first quarter of 2002 showed a slight squeezing when compared to the first quarter of 2001. The $39,000 decrease to $3.795 million for the first quarter of 2002 from $3.834 million in 2001 was primarily a result of the lower interest rate environment after September 11, 2001. Interest income decreased $1.378 million to $6.826 million in the first quarter of 2002 from $8.204 million in the first quarter of 2001, outpacing the decrease in interest expense. Interest expense decreased $1.339 million to $3.031 million for the first quarter of 2001 compared to $4.370 million for the first quarter of 2001. Despite earning asset growth, net interest income is expected to remain flat in 2002 versus 2001.

8


Provision for loan losses

        The Corporation charged $335,000 against earnings for loan losses in the first quarter ended March 31, 2002 compared to $209,000 for the first quarter of 2001. An increase in nonperforming loans during the first quarter of 2002 accounted for the higher provision expense for the first quarter. For more information concerning nonperforming loans refer to the Loan Quality discussion.

Noninterest Income

        Noninterest income, excluding net securities gains and losses, increased $210,000, or 17.9%, to $1.38 million for the first quarter ended March 31, 2002, from $1.17 million for the first quarter of 2001. Service charges and fees grew $113,000, or 21.3%, in the first quarter of 2002 as compared to the first quarter of 2001. Gains of $96,000 produced from the sale of $7.8 million in mortgage loans and a higher volume of service charges on commercial and retail deposit accounts accounted for the higher service charges and fees. Other income was $69,000 higher in the first quarter of 2002 and totaled $153,000 as compared to $84,000 in the first quarter of 2001. Revenues from additional Bank Owned Life Insurance purchased in the third quarter of 2001 and gains recognized from the sale of foreclosed real estate were the two primary factors contributing to the higher Other Income in the first quarter of 2002. Securities gains recognized in the first quarter of 2002 were $160,000 higher than in the first quarter of 2001.

Noninterest Expense

        Total noninterest expense increased $126,000, or 3.9%, to $3.284 million for the first quarter ended March 31, 2002, as compared to $3.158 million for the first quarter ended March 31, 2001. A $175,000, or 10.6%, increase in salaries and benefits expense partially offset by lower furniture and equipment expense, lower advertising expense and lower other expense was primarily accountable for the increase in noninterest expense for the first quarter. Salary expense grew approximately $64,000, or 4.5%, to $1.472 million in the first quarter of 2002 while benefits expense grew approximately $111,000,or 47.4%, to $346,000. The increase in benefits expense was largely attributable to a lower pension expense credit, $39,300, higher training expense, $17,500, and higher payroll taxes, $54,200, from compensation expense related to a restricted stock plan that vested in the first quarter.

        Federal income tax expense for the first quarter ended March 31, 2002, totaled $302,000 as compared to $307,000 for the first quarter ended March 31, 2001. The Corporation's effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2002, was 17.6% compared to 18.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2001. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the three-month period ended March 31, 2002, was primarily due to higher tax-free income relative to pretax income. All taxable income for the Corporation is taxed at a rate of 34%.

Financial Condition

        Total assets reached $515.26 million at March 31, 2002 from $498.84 million at December 31, 2001, an increase of $16.4 million, or, 3.3%. Asset growth came primarily from investment securities and loans and was funded through increases in deposits, securities sold under agreements to repurchase (Repos) and additional long-term debt. Investment securities increased $8.4 million, or 5.7%, to $156.37 million at March 31, 2002, while loans recorded an increase of $10.2 million, or 3.3%, to $316.8 million. A need for more floating-rate assets to more closely match the volume of floating-rate liabilities drove the increase in investment securities for the quarter. Loan growth for the first quarter was primarily in the commercial loan portfolio.

        Total deposits and Repos grew a modest $7.7 million, or 1.9%, to $404.0 million at March 31, 2002, from $396.3 at December 31, 2001. Almost half, or $3.2 million, of the deposit and Repo growth was from noninterest-bearing demand deposits. Long-term debt from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh increased $10.1 million to $60.5 million at March 31, 2002, from $50.4 million at December 31,2001. This increase was used to purchase floating-rate assets funded by fixed-rate liabilities to better manage the Bank's asset/liability gap position.

        Total shareholders' equity recorded a slight increase of $208,000 to $45.47 million at March 31, 2002 from $45.26 million at year-end 2001. Cash dividends declared in the first quarter of 2002 reduced shareholders' equity by $1.27 million compared to $551,000 in the first quarter of 2001. A two cent per share increase to $.22 per share in the first quarter 2002 regular dividend, plus a special cash dividend of $.25 per share, accounted for the $720,000 increase in cash dividends quarter over quarter. Management expects that cash dividends for the remainder of the year will revert to the normal quarterly cash dividend amounts. Stock repurchases during the three-month period totaled $492,000. Cash dividends and stock repurchases reduced shareholders' equity by $1.7 million in the first quarter of 2002.

        Capital adequacy is currently defined by regulatory agencies through the use of several minimum required ratios. At March 31, 2002, the Corporation was well capitalized as defined by the banking regulatory agencies. The Corporation's leverage ratio, Tier I and Tier II risk-based capital ratios at March 31, 2002 were 8.64%, 11.40%, and 12.56%, respectively. For more information on capital ratios refer to Note 2 of the accompanying financial statements.

Asset Quality

        Net charge-offs for the first quarter ended March 31, 2002, totaled $279,000 compared to $128,000 for the first quarter of 2001. Commercial and industrial loans comprised 80% of the first quarter 2002 charge-offs compared to 30% for the first quarter of 2001. The ratio of annualized net charge-offs to average loans was .36% at March 31, 2002 compared to .43% at December 31, 2001.

        Nonperforming loans were up $1.6 million to $3.6 million at March 31, 2002 from $2.0 million at December 31, 2001. Included in nonperforming loans at March 31, 2002, were nonaccrual loans totaling $1.6 million and loans past due 90 days or more totaling $1.97 million compared to $1.9 million and $948,000, respectively at December 31, 2001. The Corporation held foreclosed real estate totaling $1.4 million at March 31, 2002 compared to $1.2 million at December 31, 2001. Nonperforming assets represented .98% of total assets at March 31, 2002 compared to .82% at December 31, 2001.

        The allowance for loan losses totaled $4.1 million at March 31, 2002, compared to $4.0 million at December 31, 2001. The allowance represents 1.30% and 1.34%, of total loans at March 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001, respectively. The allowance provided coverage for nonperforming loans at a rate of 1.1 times at March 31, 2002. Management believes that based on its analysis of the loan portfolio, the allowance for loan losses was adequate at March 31, 2002.

Local economy

        Six months after the September 11, 2001 tragedy the Franklin County economy appears to be in recovery. The unemployment rate for March, according to figures released by the State Department of Labor and Industry, was 5.2%—down from 5.7% in January 2002. Some of the area's larger employers have started to call back some employees. In turn, subcontractors in the supply chain are starting to call back employees. Franklin County's unemployment rate compares favorably to the State's 5.9% and the Country's 6.1%.

Liquidity

        The Corporation's liquidity ratio (net cash, short-term and marketable assets divided by net deposits and short-term liabilities) was 33.9% at March 31, 2002. The Corporation has the ability to borrow funds from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh, if necessary, to enhance its liquidity position. At March 31, 2002, the funding available to the Corporation with FHLB is approximately $70 million. Management believes that liquidity is adequate to meet the borrowing and deposit needs of its customers.
