NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2003
(UNAUDITED)

Review of Interim Financial Statements

The condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the six
months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 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, 2003 and 2002 is unaudited. Information
presented at December 31, 2002 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.
Page 10 of 29
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. Investment Securities

The carrying amounts of investment securities and their approximate
fair values at June 30, 2003 were as follows:

There were no securities categorized "Held-to-maturity" or "Trading" at
June 30, 2003.

Note 7. Comprehensive Income

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.

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

OVERVIEW

Net after tax income for the first six months of 2003 was $ 789,000
compared to $ 873,000 for the same period in 2002, representing a decrease of
$ 84,000, or 9.6%. Net income on an adjusted per share basis for the first six
months of 2003 was $ 1.60, a decrease of $ 0.17 from the $ 1.77 per share
realized during the six months ended June 30, 2002.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Second Quarter 2003 vs. Second Quarter 2002
Interest income for the second quarter of 2003 was $ 2,035,000 compared
with $ 2,575,000 earned during the same period in 2002, for a decrease of
$ 540,000, or 21.0%. The decrease was due primarily to a significant decrease
in interest rates earned on loans and investments in 2003 compared with the same
period in 2002. Management expects average rates earned for the rest of 2003 to
increase slowly.

Interest expense for the second quarter of 2003 was $ 807,000, a decrease
of $ 325,000, or 28.7% over the $ 1,132,000 incurred for the same period in
2002. 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 2003 to increase slowly.

Net interest income for the second quarter of 2003 totaled $ 1,228,000,
down $ 215,000, or 14.9%, from the second quarter of 2002.

Six Months 2003 vs. Six Months 2002

Interest income for the first six months of 2003 was $ 4,340,000 compared
with $ 5,018,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2002, for a decrease of
$ 678,000, or 13.5%. The decrease was due primarily to a significant decrease
in interest rates earned on loans and investments in 2003 compared with the same
period in 2002. Management expects average rates paid for the rest of 2003 to
increase slowly.

Interest expense for the first six months of 2003 was $ 1,656,000, a
decrease of $ 540,000, or 24.6% over the $ 2,196,000 incurred for the same
period in 2002. The decrease was due primarily to a significant decrease in
time deposits, which pays higher rates than savings deposits, and a decrease in
interest rates paid on deposits and short-term borrowings in 2003 compared with
the same period in 2002. Management expects average rates paid for the rest of
2003 to increase slowly.


Page 12 of 29
NET INTEREST MARGIN

The net interest margin for the first six months of 2003 was 3.72% compared
with 4.09% for the first six months of 2002. 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 2003 vs. Second Quarter 2002

Second quarter 2003 non-interest income increased to $ 349,000 from
$ 161,000, or 116.8%. Service charges on deposit accounts increased $ 9,000, or
18.8%. Other fee income increased $ 16,000, or 44.4%, primarily as a result of
fee income generated on the sale of mortgages to the Federal Home Loan Bank.
Other non-interest income increased $ 13,000, or 16.9%, primarily as a result of
a $ 24,000 gain on sale of student loans in 2003, which was partially offset by
a $ 9,000 gain on sale of OREO in 2002. Securities gains totaling $ 150,000
were reported for the second quarter of 2003 while no securities gains or losses
were reported for the second quarter 2002.

Six Months 2003 vs. Six Months 2002

Non-interest income for the first six months of 2003 and the same period in
2002 was $ 543,000 and $ 318,000, respectively. Service charges on deposit
accounts increased $ 21,000, or 23.1%. Other fee income increased $ 44,000, or
53.7%, primarily as a result of fee income generated on the sale of mortgages to
the Federal Home Loan Bank. Other non-interest income increased $11,000, or
7.7%, primarily due to a $ 24,000 gain on sale of student loans in 2003 which
was partially offset by a $ 9,000 gain on sale of OREO reported in 2002.
Securities gains totaling $ 150,000 were reported for the first six months of
2003 compared with $ 1,000 for the same period in 2002.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSES

Second Quarter 2003 vs. Second Quarter 2002

Non-interest expenses for the second quarter of 2003 totaled $ 970,000, an
increase of $ 37,000, or 4.0%, over the $ 933,000 for the second quarter of
2002. Salaries and employee-related expenses totaled $ 411,000 for both
periods. Fixed asset expenses were $ 188,000 and $ 190,000 for the second
quarter of 2003 and 2002, respectively. Other non-interest expenses increased
by $ 40,000, or 12.2%, due to increases in advertising and promotion costs, OCC
assessments, data processing, PA shares tax, telephone, and other operating
expenses.

Page 13 of 29
Six Months 2003 vs. Six Months 2002

Non-interest expenses for the first six months of 2003 totaled $ 1,939,000,
an increase of $ 70,000, or 3.7%, over the $ 1,869,000 for the same period of
2002. Salaries and employee-related expenses were down $ 50,000, or 5.8%,
primarily due to turnover of employees and the fact that January 2002 had three
pay periods while there were only two pay periods in January 2003. Fixed asset
expenses increased $ 27,000, or 7.2%, primarily due to equipment and building
maintenance costs and depreciation. Other non-interest expenses increased by
$ 93,000, or 14.7%, 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 first six months of 2003 was $ 264,000
compared with $ 273,000 for the first six months of 2002. Effective income tax
rates (compared to the marginal federal income tax bracket of 34% applicable to
each period) were as follows:

Six Months Ended
June 30

2003 2002
25.1% 23.8%

The increase in the effective income tax rate for 2003 was primarily due to
a 28.8% decrease in tax-exempt interest on obligations of state and political
subdivisions.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

A $ 235,000 provision for loan losses was made for the first six months of
2003 compared with $ 125,000 for the first six months of 2002. The provisions
were based on management's evaluation of the reserve for possible loan losses at
June 30, 2003 and 2002.

Page 15 of 29
The bank utilizes a comprehensive systematic review of its loan
portfolio on a quarterly basis in order to determine the adequacy of the
allowance for loan losses. Each quarter the loan portfolio is categorized into
various pools as follows:

Pool #1 Specific allowances for any individually identified problem
loans
Pool #2 Commercial
Pool #3 Residential Real Estate
Pool #4 Consumer Demand and Installment
Pool #5 Farm Loans
Pool #6 Off-Balance Sheet Commitments

Commercial borrowing relationships over $ 500,000 and agribusiness
borrowing relationships over $ 250,000 are individually reviewed. Also, loans
that are 90 days or more past due or have been previously classified as
substandard are individually reviewed. Allocations to the allowance for loan
losses are based upon classifications assigned to those specific loans.

Loan classifications utilized are based on past experience and are as
follows:

Allowance Factors
-----------------
Loss Charge-off
Doubtful 50%
Substandard 5%
Special mention 1%

The remaining portion of the pools are evaluated as groups with
allocations made to the allowance based on historical loss experience, current
and anticipated trends in delinquencies, trends in volume and terms of loans,
concentrations of credit, and general economic conditions within the bank's
trading area. Management is not aware of any problem loans that are indicative
of trends, events, or uncertainties that would significantly impact operations,
liquidity, or capital.

The reasons for the increase in the provision for loan losses for the
six months ended June 30, 2003 compared to 2002 are significant increases in
delinquent and classified loans. Loans past due 90 days or more still accruing
interest have decreased $ 1,793,000 over the past quarter and represent .4% of
total loans at June 30, 2003 compared with 2.3% at March 31, 2003. However,
farm loans to one borrower totaling $ 2,140,000 that were past due 90 days or
more still accruing interest at March 31, 2003 were placed on nonaccrual status
during the second quarter 2003. Ninety-seven percent of the total loans 90 days
or more delinquent were fully secured by real estate. Classified loans on June
30, 2003 were $ 3,176,000 compared with $ 3,153,000 on June 30, 2002, an
increase of 117.6%. The Bank has identified farm loans as a concentration of
credit. At June 30, 2003, farm loans comprised $ 2,318,000, or 73.0%, of the
classified loans.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Assets

Total assets on June 30, 2003 were $ 154,516,000 compared to
$ 162,282,000, on December 31, 2002, a decrease of 4.8%. Management intends to
contain growth and concentrate on maintaining adequate profit margins. Net
loans on June 30, 2003 stood at $ 104,966,000, a decrease of 2.1% from
$ 107,236,000 on December 31, 2002. The loan loss reserve at June 30, 2003 was
$ 894,000 and is considered adequate, in management's judgment, to absorb
possible loan losses on existing loans.

Liabilities

Total deposits decreased 2.1% to $ 110,615,000 as of June 30, 2003
compared with $ 113,025,000 at December 31, 2002. Interest-bearing savings
deposits increased 3.3%, while non-interest-bearing demand deposits and
interest-bearing time deposits decreased 5.0% and 4.2%, respectively.

Capital

Total equity as of June 30, 2003 was $ 17,214,000 representing 11.1% of
total assets, an increase of $ 555,000 from the $ 16,659,000 reported on
December 31, 2002. Accumulated earnings for the first six months of 2003 were
partially offset by dividends declared and paid of $ 226,000 and included
$ 116,000 net unrealized gains on available-for-sale securities. On July 20,
2000, the Board of Directors announced the approval of a plan to purchase, in
open market and private negotiated transactions, up to 2% of its shares of
outstanding common stock. As of June 30, 2003, the company had repurchased
2,190 shares, representing 0.44% of its outstanding common stock. It is the
intention of management and the Board of Directors to continue to pay a fair
return on the stockholders' investment while retaining adequate earnings to
allow for continued growth.

INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANT'S REPORT



Board of Directors
FNB Financial Corporation
McConnellsburg, Pennsylvania


We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Fulton
Bancshares Corporation and Subsidiary as of June 30, 2003 and the related
consolidated statements of income for the three and six month periods ended June
30, 2003 and 2002 and comprehensive income and consolidated statements of cash
flows for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002. These 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 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.
