ITEM 2

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Results of Operations

The corporation's discussion and analysis of the significant changes in the
results of operations, capital resources and liquidity presented in the
accompanying consolidated financial statements for the Registrant, and its
wholly-owned subsidiaries, Adams County National Bank and Pennbanks Insurance
Company, follow. The corporation's consolidated statement of financial condition
and results of operations consist principally of the bank's financial condition
and results of operations. This discussion should be read in conjunction with
the corporation's 2002 Annual Report to Shareholders. Current performance does
not guarantee, assure, and is not necessarily indicative of similar performance
in the future.

In addition to historical information, this Form 10-Q contains forward-looking
statements. From time to time, the corporation may publish forward-looking
statements relating to such matters as anticipated financial performance,
business prospects, technological developments, new products, research and
development activities and similar matters. The Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe harbor for forward-looking statements. In
order to comply with the terms of the safe harbor, the corporation notes that a
variety of factors could cause the corporation's actual results and experience
to differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations
expressed in the corporation's forward-looking statements. The risks and
uncertainties that may affect the operations, performance, development and
results of the corporation's business include the following: general economic
conditions, including their impact on capital expenditures; business conditions
in the banking industry; the regulatory environment; rapidly changing technology
and evolving banking industry standards; competitive factors, including
increased competition with community, regional and national financial
institutions; new service and product offerings by competitors and price
pressures; and similar items.

Three months ended March 31, 2003 compared to three months ended March 31, 2002

Net Income for the three month period ending March 31, 2003 was $2,467,000, up
$193,000 from the first quarter of 2002. Net interest income was down, total
other income was up and other expense was up. The first quarter increase is due
to securities gain and gain on sale of other real estate. Net income per share,
for the first quarter, was $.45, compared to the $.42 earned in the same period
in 2002. For the three month period (annualized) in 2003, the return on average
assets and return on average equity were 1.30% and 14.14%, respectively,
compared to 1.47% and 14.55%, respectively for 2002.

An explanation of the factors and trends that caused changes between the two
periods, by major earnings category, follows.

Total interest income for the first three month period of 2003 was $9,565,000,
up $156,000 or 1.6% above the $9,409,000 earned in the same period of 2002. The
$156,000 increase in interest income was due to a rapid growth in earning assets
in the securities portfolio during 2003. The average yield on earning assets
declined 114 basis points compared to the same quarter in 2002. In an effort to
manage interest rate risk, the corporation continues to lower interest rates on
transaction accounts and keep securities maturities short. Income from loans was
down approximately $214,000 due to lower interest rates while security income
was up approximately $366,000 due to greater volume of securities.



Total interest expense for the first three month period of 2003 was $3,696,000,
up $383,000 or 11.6% from the $3,313,000 incurred for the same period in 2002.
The $383,000 increase in interest expense was due to successful deposit
promotions and increased borrowing. Because the increase in interest expense
exceeded the increase in interest income, net interest income decreased
$227,000.

Total other income for the first three month period of 2003 at $1,939,000, was
$905,000 greater than the same quarter in 2002. The following are the primary
causes of the 88% increase in other income:

o A $55,000 increase in overdraft charges as the overdraft privilege
program continues to be successful.

o Gain on sale of other real estate. The former Carroll Valley Office
was sold in March of 2003, and a gain of $222,000 was recognized.

o Realized gains on securities of $450,000. Short term securities with
terms of approximately 12 to 18 months were sold for gains, and the
proceeds reinvested at terms of 24 to 30 months at higher rates. Not
all of the funds were reinvested at higher rates, but the average
return ended up greater than before the sale.

o Additional income from bank owned life insurance of approximately
$50,000.

Since interest margins continue to narrow, the main cause of increased net
earnings can be traced to the other income category.

Total other expense for the first three month period of 2003 was $4,302,000, up
$510,000 from the $3,792,000 incurred for the first quarter of 2002. The
following are the primary causes of the 13% increase in other expense:

o A $301,000 or 14% increase in salaries and benefits caused by a
continuation of staffing efforts connected with a new branch
in Dillsburg, PA, and upgrading of loan personnel.

o A $120,000 increase in premises and equipment expense. This increase
was spread across the entire category and not confined to a specific
area.

o An $89,000 increase spread across the entire other expense category.

The provision for income taxes in the first quarter decreased $25,000 due to a
higher level of tax-free income and low income housing tax credits.

OVERVIEW OF THE BALANCE SHEET

The changes in the balance sheet have been driven by strong growth in interest
bearing transaction accounts and borrowings. The following are some of the
results:




o Total investment securities were $355,978,000, at March 31, 2003, an
increase of $143,127,000 or 67% since March 31, 2002. Securities have
increased from 34% of total assets to 45% of total assets, of these
securities, $20,000,000 mature within seven months with a total of
$72,100,000 maturing within two years. These funds should be available
for reinvestment when interest rates rise.


o Total deposits have grown from $511,759,000, at March 31, 2002, to
$604,793,000, at March 31, 2003, an increase of $93,034,000 or 18%.
Approximately $72,600,000 of those deposits are called classic money
market. At March 31,2002, the corporation had none of these accounts.
They are transaction accounts, which will require a movement of
interest rates, similar to general money market rates, when the economy
improves. In addition, borrowings have increased from $37,400,000, at
March 31, 2002, to $108,600,000, at March 31, 2003. Of these
$75,000,000 are term borrowings ranging from two to ten years in
maturity.

o Accumulated other comprehensive income has increased from a negative
$508,000, at March 31, 2002, to a positive $3,963,000, at March 31,
2003. This indicates the after tax effect in the change in market value
of the available for sale securities portfolio. This shift enhances the
corporation's ability to reposition the portfolio for income purposes
as interest rates rise. As these securities come closer to maturity,
they can be sold and terms lengthened to obtain higher yields.

INTEREST RATE SPREAD AND NET YIELD ON EARNING ASSETS
Three Months Ended

Rate Rate

Earning Assets 5.33% 6.47%
Interest Bearing Liabilities 2.39% 2.73%
Interest Rate Spread 2.94% 3.74%

Net Yield on Earning Assets 3.28% 4.19%

Net Yield on Earning Assets is the difference, stated in percentages, between
the interest earned on loans and other investments and the interest paid on
deposits and other sources of funds. The Net Yield on Earning Assets is one of
the best analytical tools available to demonstrate the effect of interest rate
changes on the corporation's earning capacity.

The Net Yield on Earning Assets, for the first three months of 2003, was down 91
basis points compared to the same period in 2002. Yields on loans and securities
have changed more rapidly than deposit rates as interest rates in the general
economy have remained at record low levels after falling dramatically in 2001
and 2002.

Total Loans 1.01% 1.01%

The Reserve for Possible Loan Losses at March 31, 2003 was $3,849,000 (1.01% of
Total Loans), an increase of $161,000 from $3,688,000 (1.01% of Total Loans) at
the end of the first quarter of 2002. Loans past due 90 days and still accruing
were $1,265,000 and non-accrual loans were $424,000, as of March 31, 2003. The
ratio of non-performing assets plus other real estate owned to total assets was
..28%, at March 31, 2003. All properties are carried at the lower of market or
book value and are not considered to represent significant threat of loss to the
bank.

Loans past due 90 days and still accruing were $1,379,000, at year end 2002,
while non-accruals were $1,037,000. The bulk of the corporation's real estate
loans are in residential mortgages. Management believes that internal loan
review procedures will be effective in recognizing and correcting any real
estate lending problems that may occur due to current economic conditions.
Interest not accrued, due to an average of $730,000 in non-accrual loans, was
approximately $10,000 for the first quarter of 2003.

The bank considers a loan impaired when, based on current information and
events, it is probable that a lender will be unable to collect all amounts due.
We measure impaired loans based on the present value of expected future cash
flows, discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, or as a practical
expedient, at the loan's observable market price or the fair value of the
collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. If the measure of the impaired
loan is less than its recorded investment a lender must recognize an impairment
by creating, or adjusting, a valuation allowance with a corresponding charge to
loan loss expense. The corporation uses the cash basis method to recognize
interest income on loans that are impaired. All of the corporation's impaired
loans were on a non-accrual status for all reported periods.

CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

Total Shareholders' Equity was $71,607,000, at March 31, 2003, compared to
$62,938,000, at March 31, 2002, an increase of $8,669,000 or 13.8% over that
period. The ratio of Total Shareholders' Equity to Total Assets was 9.54%, at
December 31, 2002, 10.17%, at March 31, 2002, and 9.04%, at March 31, 2003. The
total risk-based capital ratio was 14.53%, at March 31, 2003. The leverage ratio
was 8.65%, at March 31, 2003, and 10.16%, during the same period in 2002.
Capital growth of $4,471,000 reflects a change in other comprehensive income,
consisting mainly of unrealized security gains, but the remainder, $4,198,000,
was generated internally through retained earnings.

LIQUIDITY AND INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY

Management believes that the corporation's liquidity is adequate. Liquid assets
(cash and due from banks, federal funds sold, money market instruments,
available for sale securities and held to maturity investment securities
maturing within one year) were 45% of total assets, at March 31, 2003. This





mix of assets would be readily available for funding any cash requirements. In
addition, the Bank has an approved line of credit of $343,284,000 at the Federal
Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh with $75,000,000 outstanding at March 31, 2003.

As of March 31, 2003, the cumulative asset sensitive gap was 4.2% of total
assets at one month, 9.0% at six months, and 17.0% at one year. Adjustable rate
mortgages, which have an annual interest rate cap of 2%, are considered rate
sensitive. Twenty-five (25%) percent of passbook and statement savings, NOW and
money market deposit accounts are calculated to reprice overnight. The remaining
75% are carried in the over 5-year category.

Other than the construction of a new operations center, costing approximately
$7,000,000 over the next 18 months, there are no known trends or demands,
commitments, events or uncertainties that will result in, or that are reasonably
likely to result in, liquidity increasing or decreasing in any material way.
Aside from those matters described above, management does not currently believe
that there are any known trends or uncertainties that would have a material
impact on future operating results, liquidity or capital resources nor is it
aware of any current recommendations by the regulatory authorities, which, if
they were to be implemented, would have such an effect, although the general
cost of compliance with numerous and multiple federal and state laws and
regulation does have and in the future may have a negative impact on the
corporation's results of operations.




ITEM 3

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

Management monitors and evaluates changes in market conditions on a regular
basis. Based upon the most recent review management has determined that there
have been no material changes in market risks since year end. For further
discussion of year end information, refer to the annual report.


ITEM 4

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Within the 90 days prior to the date of this report, the corporation carried out
an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the
corporation's management, including the corporation's Chief Financial Officer,
of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the corporation's disclosure
controls and procedures pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
("Exchange Act") Rule 13a-14. Based upon that evaluation, the corporation's
Chief Executive Officer along with the corporation's Chief Financial Officer
concluded that the corporation's disclosure controls and procedures are
effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to the
corporation (including its consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in
the corporation's periodic SEC filings. There have been no significant changes
in the corporation's internal controls or in other factors which could
significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date the corporation
carried out its evaluation. Disclosure controls and procedures are corporation
controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information
required to be disclosed by the Corporation in the reports that it files or
submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported
within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms.
