NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2002
(UNAUDITED)

Review of Interim Financial Statements

The condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for
the three and six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 have
been reviewed by independent certified public accountants.
Their report on the review is attached as Exhibit 99 to the
10-Q filing.

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

The financial information presented at and for the three and
six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 is unaudited.
Information presented at December 31, 2001 is condensed from
audited year-end financial statements. However, unaudited
information reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of
normal recurring adjustments) that are, in the opinion of
management, necessary for a fair presentation of the
financial position, results of operations and cash flows for
the interim period.

Note 2. Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
the corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Fulton
County National Bank & Trust Company and the Fulton County
Community Development Corporation. All significant
intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.

Note 3. Cash Flows

For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the corporation
has defined cash and cash equivalents as those amounts
included in the balance sheet captions "cash and due from
banks" and "federal funds sold". As permitted by Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 104, the corporation
has elected to present the net increase or decrease in
deposits in banks, loans and time deposits in the statements
of cash flows.

Note 4. Federal Income Taxes

For financial reporting purposes the provision for loan
losses charged to operating expense is based on management's
judgment, whereas for federal income tax purposes, the amount
allowable under present tax law is deducted. Additionally,
certain expenses are charged to operating expense in the
period the liability is incurred for financial reporting
purposes, whereas for federal income tax purposes, these
expenses are deducted when paid. As a result of these timing
differences, deferred income taxes are provided in the
financial statements. Federal income taxes were computed
after reducing pretax accounting income for nontaxable
municipal and loan income.



Note 5. Other Commitments

In the normal course of business, the Corporation makes
various commitments and incurs certain contingent liabilities
which are not reflected in the accompanying financial
statements. These commitments include various guarantees and
commitments to extend credit and the Corporation does not
anticipate any losses as a result of these transactions.

Note 6. Earnings Per Share of Common Stock

Earnings per share of common stock were computed based on an
average of 492,770 shares for the quarter ended June 30, 2002
and 492,745 shares for the quarter ended June 30, 2001.

Note 7. Investment Securities

The carrying amounts of investment securities and their
approximate fair values at March 31, 2002 were as follows:

There were no securities categorized "Held-to-maturity" or
"Trading" at June 30, 2002.

Note 8. Comprehensive Income

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 130,
"Reporting of Comprehensive Income", became effective for
fiscal years and interim reporting periods beginning after
December 15, 1997.



Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity
from transactions and other events from nonowner sources.
It includes all changes in equity except those resulting
from investments by owners and distributions to owners.

Consequently, a "Statement of Comprehensive Income" has
been included in this filing.

Note 9. Correction of Error

During the third quarter 2001, an error was identified in
the premium/discount amortization on investments purchased
in 1997. As a result, the following changes were needed to
the June 30, 2001 report:

FULTON BANCSHARES CORPORATION

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

OVERVIEW

Net after tax income for the first six months of 2002 was
$ 873,000 compared to $ 709,000 for the same period in 2001,
representing an increase of $ 164,000, or 23.1%. Net income on an
adjusted per share basis for the first six months of 2002 was
$ 1.77, an increase of $ .33 from the $ 1.44 per share realized
during the six months ended June 30, 2001.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Second Quarter 2002 vs. Second Quarter 2001

Interest income for the second quarter of 2002 was $ 2,575,000
compared with $ 2,552,000 earned during the same period in 2001,
for an increase of $ 23,000, or 0.9%. The increase was due
primarily to a higher average balance of investments, which
typically produce lower yields than loans, in 2002 compared with
the same period in 2001. Management expects average rates earned
for the rest of 2002 to increase slowly over the rest of 2002.

Interest expense for the second quarter of 2002 was
$ 1,132,000, a decrease of $ 241,000, or 17.6% over the $ 1,373,000
incurred for the same period in 2001. The decrease was due
primarily to a decrease in interest rates paid on deposits and
short-term borrowings. Management expects average rates paid for
the rest of 2002 to increase slowly over the rest of 2002.

Net interest income for the second quarter of 2002 totaled
$ 1,143,000, up $ 264,000, or 22.4%, from the second quarter of
2001.

Six Months 2002 vs. Six Months 2001

Interest income for the first six months of 2002 was
$ 5,018,000 compared with $ 5,117,000 for the six months ended June
30, 2001, for a decrease of $ 99,000, or 1.9%. The decrease was
due primarily to a significant decrease in interest rates earned on
loans and investments and a higher average balance of investments,
which typically produce lower yields than loans, in 2002 compared
with the same period in 2001. Management expects average rates
paid for the rest of 2002 to increase slowly over the rest of 2002.

Interest expense for the first six months of 2002 was
$ 2,196,000, a decrease of $ 562,000, or 20.4% over the $ 2,758,000
incurred for the same period in 2001. The decrease was due
primarily to a decrease in interest rates paid on deposits and
short-term borrowings. Management expects average rates paid for
the rest of 2002 to increase slowly over the rest of 2002.


NET INTEREST MARGIN

The net interest margin for the first six months of 2002 was
4.09% compared with 3.74% for the first six months of 2001.
Liquidity and interest rate risk are continuously monitored through
Asset-Liability Committee reports. Management plans to protect its
net interest margin by competitively pricing loans and deposits and
by structuring interest-earning assets and liabilities in such a
way that they can be repriced in response to changes in market
interest rates.

NON-INTEREST INCOME

Second Quarter 2002 vs. Second Quarter 2001

Second quarter 2002 non-interest income increased to $ 161,000
from $ 159,000, or 1.3%. Service charges on deposit accounts
increased $ 4,000, or 9.1%. Other fee income increased $ 12,000,
or 50.0%, primarily as a result of instituting ATM surcharges.
Other non-interest income was $ 77,000 and $ 74,000 for the second
quarter 2002 and 2001, respectively. Securities gains totaling
$ 17,000 were reported for the second quarter of 2001 while no
securities gains or losses were reported for the second quarter
2002.

Six Months 2002 vs. Six Months 2001

Non-interest income for the first six months of 2002 and the
same period in 2001 was $ 318,000 and 298,000, respectively.
Service charges on deposit accounts increased $ 4,000, or 4.6%.
Other fee income increased $ 27,000, or 49.1%, primarily as a
result of instituting ATM surcharges. Other non-interest income
increased $14,000, or 10.8%, primarily due to increased earnings on
cash surrentder value of director/officer life insurance and
$ 9,000 gain on sale of OREO reported in 2002. Securities gains
totaling $ 1,000 were reported for the first six months of 2002
compared with $ 26,000 for the same period in 2001.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSES

Second Quarter 2002 vs. Second Quarter 2001

Non-interst expenses for the second quarter of 2002 totaled
$ 933,000, an increase of $ 79,000, or 9.3%, over the $ 854,000 for
the second quarter of 2001. Salaries and employee-related expenses
were up $ 42,000, or 11.4%, primarily due to the addition of
personnel to staff a branch office opened in early February, 2002,
and merit pay increases. Fixed asset expenses increased $ 10,000,
or 5.6%, primarily due to increased equipment and building
maintenance costs and depreciation for the addition of the new
full-service banking facility, which were partially offset by
reduced depreciation expense on assets that became fully
depreciated at the end of 2001. Other non-interest expenses
increased by $ 27,000, or 9.0%, due to increases in advertising and
promotion costs, OCC assessments, data processing, PA shares tax,
telephone, and other operating expenses.


Six Months 2002 vs. Six Months 2001

Non-interst expenses for the first six months of 2002 totaled
$ 1,869,000, an increase of $ 157,000, or 9.2%, over the
$ 1,712,000 for the same period of 2001. Salaries and employee-
related expenses were up $ 85,000, or 9.9%, primarily due to the
addition of personnel to staff a branch office opened in early
February, 2002, and merit pay increases. Fixed asset expenses
increased $ 12,000, or 3.3%, primarily due to increased equipment
and building maintenance costs and depreciation for the addition of
the new full-service banking facility, which were partially offset
by reduced depreciation expense on assets that became fully
depreciated at the end of 2001. Other non-interest expenses
increased by $ 60,000, or 10.7%, due to increases in advertising
and promotion costs, OCC assessments, data processing, PA shares
tax, telephone, and other operating expenses.

INCOME TAXES

The income tax provision for the second quarter of 2002 was
$ 122,000 compared with $ 108,000 for the second quarter of 2001.
The effective income tax rate was 23.8% for the six months of 2002
and 2001, based on tax expense of $ 273,000 and $ 221,0000,
respectively.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

A $ 125,000 provision for loan losses was made for the first
six months of 2002 compared with $ 15,000 for the first six months
of 2001. The provisions were made based on management's evaluation
of the reserve for possible loan losses at June 30, 2002 and 2001.

A summary of the allowance for loan losses is as follows:

maintaining adequate profit margins. Net loans on June 30,
2002 stood at $ 104,282,000, an increase of 0.6% from
$ 103,656,000 on December 31, 2001. The loan loss reserve at

existing loans.

2002 compared with $ 117,038,000 at December 31, 2001.

savings deposits decreased 1.3% and 3.5% respectively, while
interest-bearing time deposits increased 12.2%.

INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANT'S REPORT


Board of Directors
Fulton Bancshares Corporation and Subsidiaries
McConnellsburg, Pennsylvania


We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet
of Fulton Bancshares Corporation and Subsidiaries as of June 30, 2002
and the related condensed consolidated statements of income,
comprehensive income, and cash flows for the interim periods ended
June 30, 2002 and 2001. These condensed consolidated financial
statements are the responsibility of the corporation's management.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards
established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.
A review of interim financial information consists principally of
applying analytical procedures to financial data and making inquiries
of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is
substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with
generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is the
expression of an opinion regarding the condensed consolidated
financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express
such an opinion.

Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material
modifications that should be made to the accompanying consolidated
financial statements for them to be in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.
