                                     ITEM 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 the
accompanying consolidated financial statements for ACNB Corporation, a
Pennsylvania corporation and registered 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 Corporation's 1997 Annual
Report and Form 10-K. 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 may contain
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 September 30, 1998 compared to three months ended
September 30, 1997

Net Income for the three month period ending September 30, 1998 was $1,848,000,
up $16,000 from the third quarter of 1997. The increase in net income was due
primarily to increased net interest income. Net income per share, for the third
quarter, was $.35, comparable to the $.35 earned in the same period in 1997.

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

Total interest income for the third three month period of 1998 was $9,031,000,
up $172,000 or 2% above the $8,859,000 earned in the same period of 1997. The
$172,000 increase in interest income was due to a greater volume of securities
and due from banks. The average yield on earning assets has decreased 7 basis
points over the same quarter in 1997. In an effort to manage interest rate risk,
the Bank continues to invest in mortgage-backed securities classified as
available-for-sale and now holds a total volume of over $91 million. Income from
securities and due from banks during the current period increased due to growth
of approximately $30 million.


                                     Page 7

<PAGE>


Total interest expense for the third three month period of 1998 was $3,848,000,
up $74,000 or 2% above the $3,774,000 incurred for the same period in 1997. The
$74,000 increase in interest expense was due primarily to a increase in the
average volume of interest bearing liabilities, which was $16.6 million greater
in the current quarter compared to the same quarter in 1997.

Net interest income after provision for loan losses for the third three month
period of 1998 was $5,093,000, compared to the $5,025,000 earned in the same
period of 1997. Income before provision for loan losses was even greater in
1998, but a $30,000 greater provision reduced it to $68,000 greater than 1997.

Total non-interest income for the third three month period of 1998 at $548,000,
was $136,000 or 33% greater than the same quarter in 1997. This was primarily
due to ATM surcharges, which the Corporation did not levy in 1997, Visa debit
card fees, another service instituted in late 1997, and a good quarter for the
Bank's Trust Department which settled a large estate.

Total non-interest expense for the third three month period of 1998 was
$2,880,000, up $181,000 or 7% more than the $2,699,000 incurred for the third
quarter of 1997. Most of the increase was in supplies, teller long and short,
and miscellaneous expenses.

The provision for income taxes in the third quarter increased $7,000 due to a
higher level of pretax earnings.

Nine months ended September 30, 1998 compared to nine months ended
September 30, 1997

Net income for the first nine months of 1998 was $5,522,000, up $67,000 or 1%
above the $5,455,000 earned for the same period of 1997. The increase in net
income was due primarily to a greater volume of loans. For the nine month period
(annualized) of 1998, the return on average assets (ROA) and return on average
equity (ROE) were 1.54% and 13.85%, respectively, compared to 1.57% and 14.50%,
respectively, for 1997.

At September 30, 1998, total assets were approximately $496 million, reflecting
a $29 million or 6% increase above September 30, 1997. As explained more fully
under Capital Management section, book value per share was $10.32 on September
30, 1998, compared to $9.75 on September 30, 1997. The Corporation's capital
remained sound as evidenced by a Tier I Risked-Based Capital Ratio of 18.6% and
a Total Risk-Based Capital Ratio of 19.8% on September 30, 1998.

Total interest income for the current nine month period was $26,653,000, up
$391,000 or 1% above the $26,262,000 earned in the same period of 1997. The
$391,000 increase in total interest income was due primarily to a larger volume
of securities and due from banks. Securities totaled $132,396 at September 30,
1998 compared to $97,287,000 at September 30,1997.

Total interest expense for the current nine month period was $11,328,000, up
$212,000 or 2% above the $11,116,000 incurred for the same period in 1997. The
$212,000 increase in total interest expense was due to an increase in average
interest bearing liabilities, principally time deposits. The year to date
average volume of interest bearing liabilities increased approximately $7.7
million or 2% above the same period of 1997.


                                     Page 8

<PAGE>


Net interest income was $15,325,000 for the current period, up $179,000 above
the first nine months of 1997. Income from a larger volume of investment
securities out paced funding costs. Nevertheless, the net yield on average
earning assets was 4.50% for the current nine month period compared to 4.54% for
the same period in 1997. The additional income was not sufficient to offset a
decline in margins.

Total non-interest income for the current nine month period was $1,654,000, up
$322,000 or 24% above the same period in 1997. Improvement was in major
categories but centered mainly in the Bank's Trust Department, which was up
$64,000, caused by greater activity in estate settlements, and other operating
income due to ATM surcharges and debit card fees.

Total non-interest expense for the current nine month period was $8,456,000, up
$276,000 or 3% above the $8,180,000 incurred for the same period in 1997. The
increase in total non-interest expense was primarily the result of increases in
ATM costs and building repair and maintenance.

The provision for income taxes was $2,731,000 for the current period, $38,000
above the same period in 1997 due to a higher level of pretax earnings.

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 nine months of 1998, was down 4
basis points compared to the same period in 1997. This is a result of lower
market yields on loans and securities without relief on the deposit side.

The Reserve for Possible Loan Losses at September 30, 1998 was $3,334,000 (.98%
of Total Loans), an increase of $158,000 from $3,176,000 (.93% of Total Loans)
at the end of the first nine months of 1997. Loans past due 90 days and still
accruing amounted to $1,837,000 and non-accrual loans totaled $1,382,000 as of
September 30, 1998. The ratio of non-performing assets plus other real estate
owned to total assets was .76% at September 30, 1998. 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 $1,197,000 at year end 1997 while
non-accruals stood at $1,640,000. The bulk of the Corporation's real estate
loans are in owner occupied dwellings. 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 $1,613,000 in non-accrual loans, was
approximately $145,000 for the first nine months of 1998.

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 $56,189,000 at September 30, 1998
compared to $51,941,000 at September 30, 1997, an increase of $4,248,000 or 8%
over that period. The ratio of Total Shareholders' Equity to Total Assets was
11.33% at September 30, 1997, 11.27% at December 31, 1997, and 11.05% at
September 30, 1998. The total risk-based capital ratio was 19.78% at September
30, 1998. The leverage ratio was 10.78% at September 30, 1998 and 10.61% during
the same period in 1997. Capital at the Corporation remains strong even with a
55% dividend payout ratio.

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 24% of total assets at September 30, 1998. This
mix of assets is readily available for funding any cash requirements. In
addition, the Bank has an approved line of credit of $221,582,000 at the Federal
Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh with $-0- outstanding at September 30, 1998.

As of September 30, 1998, the cumulative asset sensitive gap was 6.5% of total
assets at one month, 2.8% at nine months, and 11.2% 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.

COMPANY IS IN THE PROCESS OF BECOMING YEAR 2000 COMPLIANT - EXPENSES NOT
MATERIAL

YEAR 2000 ISSUE

The following section contains forward-looking statements which involve risks
and uncertainties. The actual impact on the Corporation of the Year 2000 issue
could materially differ from that which is anticipated in the forward-looking
statements as a result of certain factors identified below.

Corporation's State of Readiness

The Year 2000 ("Y2K") issue is the result of computer programs using a two-digit
format, as opposed to four digits, to indicate the year. Such computer systems
will be unable to interpret dates beyond the year 1999, which could cause a
system failure or other computer errors, leading to disruptions in operations.
If not corrected, many computer applications could fail or create erroneous
results by or at the year 2000. This could cause entire system failures,
miscalculations, and disruptions of normal business operations including, among
other things, a temporary inability to process transactions, send statements, or
engage in similar day to day business activities. The extent of the potential
impact of the Year 2000 Problem is not yet known, and if not timely corrected,
it could affect the global economy.


                                     Page 11

<PAGE>


The Corporation has developed a five phase program for Y2K information systems
compliance which include the following:

     1.   Awareness Phase

               o    Establish Year 2000 Task Force
               o    Define Year 2000 Problem
               o    Develop Year 2000 Plan and Strategy
     This phase has been completed as of December 31, 1997.

     2.   Assessment Phase
               o    Identify and inventory all information systems, technology
                    items, computer programs, business partners, environmental
                    systems, and data communication links
               o    Prioritize Mission Critical Systems
                    Obtain vendor certifications for all software, hardware, and
                    outsourced service providers
               o    Assess impact of Year 2000
     This phase will be completed December 31, 1998

     3.   Renovation Phase
               o    Implement hardware and software upgrades
               o    Replace systems and technology items
               o    Monitor vendor and service provider progress
     This phase will be in effect from January 1, 1998 through December 31, 1998

     4.   Validation Phase
               o    Develop testing plan and strategy
               o    Establish test environment(s)
               o    Test all internal information systems, technology items,
                    computer programs, environmental systems, and data
                    communication links
               o    Test with and/or monitor testing of vendors and service
                    providers

     This phase began August 31, 1998 and will continue through June 30, 1999

     5.   Implementation Phase

               o    Implement Y2K compliant systems and technology items 

     This phase began December 31, 1997 and will continue through
     October 29, 1999

Based on an ongoing assessment, the Corporation has determined that it will be
required to modify or replace portions of its software so that its computer
systems will properly use dates beyond December 31, 1999. The Corporation
presently believes that as a result of modifications to existing software and
hardware and conversions to new software, the Year 2000 Problem can be
mitigated. However, if such modifications and conversions are not made, or are
not completed on a timely basis, the Year 2000 Problem could have a material
adverse impact on the operations of the Corporation.

The major part of the Corporation's software is designed and maintained by
companies well known throughout the banking industry. This portion of the
software has been or is in the


                                     Page 12

<PAGE>


process of being renovated for compliance with the year 2000. The cost of
renovation will be borne by the third party providers. Thus, even though the
Corporation does not have direct control over the renovation process, it is
monitoring the progress of its third-party vendors to assess the status of their
Y2K readiness efforts. However, because most computer systems are, by their very
nature, interdependent, it is possible that noncompliant third-party computers
could impact the Corporation's computer systems. The Corporation could be
adversely affected by the Y2K problem if it or unrelated parties fail to
successfully address the problem. The Corporation has taken steps to communicate
with the unrelated parties with whom it deals to coordinate Year 2000
compliance. Additionally, the Corporation is dependent on external suppliers,
such as, wire transfer systems, telephone systems, electric companies, and other
utility companies for continuation of service. The Corporation is also assessing
the impact, if any, the century date change may have on its credit risk.

Costs of Year 2000

The cost to implement the aforementioned five phase program will range from
approximately $300,000 to $350,000. Internal costs should approximate $229,390,
while outside consultants for both legal work and contingency planning will
approximate $93,125. $42,000 of the consultant fees have already been expended
with another $41,000 scheduled to be spent by year end 1998. The majority of the
remainder of the approximated costs are internal costs, which will not be actual
cash outlays but will be absorbed by current operations.

The financial impact to the Corporation of Year 2000 compliance has not been and
is not anticipated to be material to the Corporation's financial position or
results of operations in any given year. However, if compliance is not achieved
in a timely manner by the Corporation or any of its significant related
third-parties, be it a supplier of services or customer, the Y2K issue could
possibly have a material effect on the Corporation's operations and financial
position.

The cost of the projects and the date on which the Corporation plans to complete
both Year 2000 modifications and systems conversions are based on management's
best estimates, which were derived utilizing numerous assumptions of future
events including the continued availability of certain resources, third-party
modification plans and other factors. However, there can be no guarantee that
these estimates will be achieved and actual results could differ materially from
those plans. Specific factors that might cause such material differences
include, but are not limited to, the availability and cost of personnel trained
in this area, the ability to locate and correct all relevant computer codes, and
similar uncertainties.

Risks of Year 2000

At present, management believes it's progress in remedying the Corporation's
systems, programs and applications and installing Y2K compliant upgrades is on
target. The Y2K computer problem creates risk for the Corporation from
unforeseen problems in its own computer systems and from third-party vendors who
provide the majority of mainframe and PC based computer applications. Failure of
third-party systems relative to the Y2K issue could have a material impact on
the Corporation's ability to conduct business.

Contingency Plans

In conjunction with the Y2K Compliance, three major components have been
established as part of this project.

     1.   Contingency Planning
               o    Business Resumption Contingency Planning including
                    Organizational Planning Guidelines, Business Impact
                    Analysis, Written Plan, and Validation
     2.   Stakeholder Communications
               o    Customer Awareness Program
               o    Bank Employee Communications
               o    Corporation Stockholder Communications
     3.   Commercial Customer Credit Risk Control Process
               o    Due Diligence Process for Current and Future Material
                    Customers
               o    Assessment of Customer Year 2000 Readiness

                                     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.
