In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly ACNB Corporation's financial position as of June 30, 1997 and 1996 and December 31, 1996 and the results of its operations for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 and changes in financial position for the six months then ended. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The accounting policies followed by the company are set forth in Note A to the company's financial statements in the 1996 ACNB Corporation Annual Report and Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission under file no. 0-11783. 2.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Results of Operations The following is management's discussion and analysis of the significant changes in the results of operations, capital resources and liquidity presented in its accompanying consolidated financial statements for ACNB Corporation, a bank holding company (the Corporation), and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Adams County National Bank (the Bank). The Corporation's consolidated financial condition and results of operations consist almost entirely of the Bank's financial condition and results of operations. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the 1996 Annual Report. Current performance does not guarantee, assure, or is necessarily indicative of similar performance in the future. In addition to historical information, this Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements contained herein are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Important factors that might cause such a difference include, but are not limited to, those discussed in the section entitled "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations". Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which reflect management's analysis only as of the date hereof. The Corporation undertakes no obligation to publicly revise or update these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that arise after the date hereof. Readers should carefully review the risk factors described in other documents the Corporation files from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q to be filed by the Corporation in 1997 and 1998, and any Current Reports on Form 8-K filed by the Corporation. Three months ended June 30,1997 compared to three months ended June 30, 1996 Net Income for the second three months of 1997 was $1,917,000, up $262,000 or 16% above the second quarter of 1996. The increase in net income was due primarily to a six (6%) percent improvement in Total Interest Income. Net income per share, for the second quarter, was $.36, up $.05 or 16% above the $.31 earned in the comparable period in 1996. An explanation of the factors and trends that caused changes between the two periods, by major earnings category, follows. Total interest income for the second three month period of 1997 was $8,791,000, up $489,000 or 6% above the $8,302,000 earned in the same period of 1996. The $489,000 increase in interest income was due to higher yields on securities and greater volume of loans. The average yield on securities rose to 6.88%, an increase of 120 basis points over the same quarter in 1996. In an effort to manage interest rate risk, the Bank purchased $45 million of mortgage backed securities classified as available-for-sale over the last twelve months. Income from loans during the current period increased due to loan growth of approximately $20.8 million. Total interest expense for the second three month period of 1997 was $3,698,000, down $23,000 or 1% below the $3,721,000 incurred for the same period in 1996. The $23,000 decrease in interest expense was due primarily to a slight decrease in the average cost of interest bearing deposits. The average volume of interest bearing liabilities was $0.8 million lower in the current quarter compared to the same quarter in 1996. Page 8
Net interest income after provision for loan losses for the second three month period of 1997 was $5,033,000, up $452,000 or 9.9% above the $4,581,000 earned in the same period of 1996. The increase in current period net interest income was achieved from a larger average volume of loans and improvement in yield on securities. Total non-interest income for the second three month period of 1997 at $468,000, was $42,000 or 9.9% greater than the same quarter in 1996. This was primarily due to increased Trust Department fees of $141,000 compared to $86,000 in 1996. Total non-interest expense for the second three month period of 1997 was $2,636,000, up $94,000 or 3.8% greater than the $2,542,000 incurred for the second quarter of 1996. Most of the increase was in salaries and benefits which were up $113,000 or 7.9%. The provision for income taxes in the second quarter increased $138,000 or 17.0% due to a higher level of pretax earnings. Six months ended June 30, 1997 compared to six months ended June 30, 1996 Net income for the first six months of 1997 was $3,623,000, up $387,000 or 12.0% above the $3,236,000 earned for the same period of 1996. The increase in net income was due primarily to strong growth in loans and improved yield on securities. For the six month period (annualized) of 1997, the return on average assets (ROA) and return on average equity (ROE) were 1.58% and 14.65%, respectively, compared to 1.42% and 13.68%, respectively, for 1996. At June 30, 1997, total assets were approximately $466 million, reflecting a $2 million or 1% increase above June 30, 1996. As explained more fully under Capital Management section, book value per share was $9.59 on June 30, 1997, compared to $8.96 on June 30, 1996. (The Corporation's capital remained sound as evidenced by a Tier I Risked-Based Capital Ratio of 17.7% and a Total Risk-Based Capital Ratio of 18.9% on June 30, 1997.) Total interest income for the current six month period was $17,403,000, up $979,000 or 6.0% above the $16,424,000 earned in the same period of 1996. The $979,000 increase in total interest income was due primarily to a larger volume of loans in the first half, due to improved loan demand, and improved yields on securities. Yield on securities was 6.84% for the first half of 1997 versus 5.58% for the same period last year. Total interest expense for the current six month period was $7,342,000, down $78,000 or 1.1 % below the $7,420,000 incurred for the same period in 1996. The $78,000 decrease in total interest expense was due to a decline in average cost of interest bearing liabilities, principally time deposits. The year to date average volume of interest bearing liabilities increased approximately $2.4 million or 6.6% above the same period of 1996. Net interest income was $10,061,000 for the current period, up $1,057,000 or 11.7% above the first six months in 1996. Income from a larger volume of investment securities out paced funding costs. The net yield on average earning assets was 4.53% for the current six month period compared to 4.11% for the same period in 1996. Total non-interest income for the current six month period was $920,000, up $89,000 or 10.7% above the same period in 1996. Improvement was in all major categories but centered mainly in the Trust Department, which was up $48,000, caused by greater activity in estate settlements. Total non-interest expense for the current six month period was $5,481,000, up $462,000 or 9.2% above the $5,019,000 incurred for the same period in 1995. The increase in total non-interest expense was primarily the result of a $380,000 increase in salaries and employee benefits. Page 9
The provision for income taxes was $1,787,000 for the current period, up $207,000 above the same period in 1996 due to a higher level of pretax earnings. INTEREST RATE SPREAD AND NET YIELD ON EARNING ASSETS Six Months Ended 6/30/97 6/30/96 Rate Rate Earning Assets 7.86% 7.51% Interest Bearing Liabilities 4.03% 4.07% Interest Rate Spread 3.82% 3.44% Net Yield on Earning Assets 4.53% 4.11% 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 six months of 1997, was up 42 basis points compared to the same period in 1996. This is a result of improved yields on government securities and a larger volume of loans. PROVISION AND RESERVE FOR POSSIBLE LOAN LOSSES Reserve for Possible Loan Losses (In Thousands) Six Months Ended 6/30/97 6/30/96 Balance at Beginning of Period 3,183 3,274 Provision Charged to Expense 90 0 Loans Charged Off 111 89 Recoveries 8 57 Balance at End of Period 3,170 3,242 Ratios: Net Charge-offs to: Net Income 2.84% .99% Total Loans .03% .01% Reserve for Possible Loan Losses 3.25% .99% Reserve for Possible Loan Losses to: Total Loans .93% 1.01% The Reserve for Possible Loan Losses at June 30, 1997 totaled $3,170,000 (.93% of Total Loans), a decrease of $72,000 from $3,242,000 (1.01% of Total Loans) at the end of the first six months of 1996. Loans past due 90 days and still accruing amounted to $1,907,000 and non-accrual loans totaled $1,819,000 as of 6/30/97. The ratio of non-performing assets plus other real estate owned to total assets was .87% at 6/30/97. 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. Page 10
Loans past due 90 days and still accruing were $2,175,000 at year end 1996 while non-accruals stood at $994,000. The bulk of the Corporation's real estate loans are in owner occupied dwellings but it is hoped that internal loan review procedures will be effective in recognizing and helping correct any real estate lending problems that may occur due to current economic conditions. Interest not accrued, due to an average of $1,407,000 in non-accrual loans, was approximately $63,000 for the first six months of 1997. A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that a creditor will be unable to collect all amounts due. Impaired loans are measured 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 creditor 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 non-accrual status for all reported periods. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT Total Shareholders' Equity amounted to $50,731,000 at 6/30/97 compared to $47,482,000 at 6/30/96, a decrease of $3,249,000 or 6.8% over that period. The ratio of Total Shareholders' Equity to Total Assets was 10.22% at 6/30/96, 10.46% at 12/31/96, and 10.88% at 6/30/97. The total risk-based capital ratio was 18.9% at 6/30/97. The leverage ratio was 10.94% at 6/30/97 and 10.36% during the same period in 1996. Capital at ACNB Corporation remains strong even with a 52% dividend payout ratio. See Note #5 for information regarding dividends paid during 1997. In September of 1995, the Board of Directors approved a share repurchase plan of 100,000 shares. Over the intervening period the Corporation has repurchased and retired 62,844 shares. LIQUIDITY AND INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY 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) equal 16.8% of total assets at 6/30/97. This mix of assets would be readily available for funding any cash requirements. In addition, the Bank has an approved line of credit of $218,022,000 at the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh with $650,000 outstanding at 6/30/97. As of 6/30/97, the cumulative asset sensitive gap was 8.9% of total assets at one month, 11.1% at six months, and 19.6% at one year. Adjustable rate mortgages, which have an annual interest rate cap of 2%, are considered rate sensitive. Passbook savings and NOW accounts are carried in the one to five year category while half of money market deposit accounts are spread over the four to twelve month category and the other half are shown to mature in the one to three year category. 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 which 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.
