5.   Dividends per share were $.60 and $.58 for the nine month periods ended
     September 30, 1999 and 1998 respectively. This represented a 61% payout
     of net income in 1999 and a 56% payout in 1998.

                                     ITEM 2

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

Results of Operations

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 bank holding company
(the Corporation), and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Adams County National Bank
and Farmers National Bank of Newville (the Bank) follows. 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 1998 Annual
Report. Current performance does not guarantee, assure, nor is it 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 30,1999 compared to three months ended September
30, 1998

Net Income for the three-month period ending September 30, 1999 was $1,945,000,
down $56,000 from the third quarter of 1998. The decrease in net income was due
primarily to a decrease in total interest income and a $51,000 increase in other
expenses as discussed below. Net income per share, for the third quarter, was
$.34, comparable to the $.34 earned in the same period in 1998.

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 1999 was $9,597,000,
down $169,000 or 2% below the $9,766,000 earned in the same period of 1998. The
$169,000 decrease in interest income was due to pressure on interest rate margin
and lack of loan growth. The average yield on earning assets has decreased 24
basis points over the same quarter in 1998. In an effort to manage interest rate
risk, the Corporation continues to invest in mortgage-backed securities
classified as available-for-sale and now holds a total volume of over $82
million. The shift from loans to securities has caused a shift in income of
$382,000 between the two categories.

                                     Page 7


<PAGE>

Total interest expense for the third three-month period of 1999 was $3,970,000,
down $186,000 or 4% below the $4,156,000 incurred for the same period in 1998.
The $186,000 decrease in interest expense was due primarily to a lowering of
savings rates to bring the Corporation closer to current market conditions.

Net interest income after provision for loan losses for the third three-month
period of 1999 was $5,577,000, compared to the $5,520,000 earned in the same
period of 1998. This is due mainly to a smaller provision for loan losses.
Margins are tightening and the Corporation is feeling the effect.

Total non-interest income for the third three-month period of 1999 at $708,000,
was $112,000 or 19% greater than the same quarter in 1998. This was primarily
due to improved service charges on deposits, decreasing holding company
expenses, and other miscellaneous income.

Total non-interest expense for the third three-month period of 1999 was
$3,186,000, up $51,000 or 2% more than the $3,135,000 incurred for the third
quarter of 1998. The increase was due to small changes in miscellaneous
expenses.

The provision for income taxes in the third quarter increased $174,000 because
of higher pretax income and loss of tax benefit from acquisition costs.

Nine months ended September 30, 1999 compared to nine months ended September 30,
1998

Net income for the first nine months of 1999 was $5,758,000, down $214,000 or 4%
below the $5,972,000 earned for the same period of 1998. The decrease in net
income was due primarily to other expense as explained below. For the nine-month
period (annualized) of 1999, the return on average assets (ROA) and return on
average equity (ROE) were 1.40% and 12.50%, respectively, compared to 1.53% and
13.25%, respectively, for 1998.

At September 30, 1999, total assets were approximately $551 million, reflecting
a $12 million or 2% increase above September 30, 1998. As explained more fully
under Capital Management section, book value per share was $10.51 on September
30, 1999, compared to $10.66 on September 30, 1998. The Corporation's capital
remained sound as evidenced by a Total Shareholder's Equity Capital Ratio of
11.5% and a Total Risk-Based Capital Ratio of 20.6% on September 30, 1999.

Total interest income for the current nine-month period was $28,534,000, down
$270,000 or 1% from the $28,804,000 earned in the same period of 1998. The
$270,000 decrease in total interest income was due primarily to a decline in the
loan portfolio.

Total interest expense for the current nine-month period was $12,002,000, down
$227,000 or 2% below the $12,229,000 incurred for the same period in 1998. The
$227,000 decrease in total interest expense was due to a decrease in savings
rates. Savings rates were lowered to bring the Corporation in line with
prevailing savings rates.

Net interest income was $16,532,000 for the current period, down $43,000 below
the first nine months of 1998. Margins are declining and effecting net interest
income. The Corporation has switched a large portion of its portfolio to
mortgage-backed securities, but this has been insufficient to make up the
difference.

                                     Page 8
<PAGE>

Total non-interest income for the current nine-month period was $2,234,000, up
$451,000 or 25% above the same period in 1998. The increase was due, mainly, to
an increase in service charges on deposit accounts and an insurance policy
collected on the death of a member of senior management.

Total non-interest expense for the current nine-month period was $9,896,000, up
$688,000 or 7% above the $9,208,000 incurred for the same period in 1998. The
increase came from the previously mentioned insurance policy and the settlement
of a lawsuit against the Trust Department.

The provision for income taxes was $2,882,000 for the current period, $26,000
below the same period in 1998 due to the tax free advantage gained from the
proceeds of the key man insurance.

Net Yield on Earning Assets                   4.19%            4.43%

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 1999, was down 24
basis points compared to the same period in 1998. This is a result of lower
market yields on loans and securities, and a shift from loans to securities with
insufficient rate relief on the deposit side.

The Reserve for Possible Loan Losses at September 30, 1999 was $3,551,000 (1.04%
of Total Loans), an increase of $41,000 from $3,510,000 (.98% of Total Loans) at
the end of the first nine months of 1998. Loans past due 90 days and still
accruing amounted to $1,786,000 and non-accrual loans totaled $1,739,000 as of
September 30, 1999. The ratio of non-performing assets plus other real estate
owned to total assets was .67% at September 30, 1999. 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 $2,350,000 at year end 1998 while
non-accruals stood at $1,450,000. 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 $1,395,000 in non-accrual loans, was
approximately $84,000 for the first nine months of 1999.

The bank considers a loan 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 $60,715,000 at September 30, 1999
compared to $61,967,000 at September 30, 1998, a decrease of $1,252,000. The
ratio of Total Shareholders' Equity to Total Assets was 11.49% at September 30,
1998, 11.34% at December 31, 1998, and 11.01% at September 30, 1999. The total
risk-based capital ratio was 20.63% at September 30, 1999. The leverage ratio
was 10.89% at September 30, 1999, and 10.61% during the same period in 1998.
Capital at the corporation remains strong even with a 61% 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

                                     Page 10
<PAGE>

maturity investment securities maturing within one year) were 27% of total
assets at September 30, 1999. This mix of assets is readily available for
funding any cash requirements. In addition, the Bank has an approved line of
credit of $224,589,000 at the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh with $.00
outstanding at September 30, 1999.

As of September 30, 1999, the cumulative asset sensitive gap was 8.4% of total
assets at one month, 3.9% at six months, and 8.3% 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 was 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 was completed as of September 30, 1999.

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 in May 1998 and has been completed.

5.       Implementation Phase
             o  Implement Y2K compliant systems and technology items
                This phase began December 31, 1997 and will continue through
                October 29, 1999
                This phase is 95% complete.

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 process was 100%
complete at June 30, 1999. The cost of

                                     Page 12

renovation will be primarily borne by the third-party providers. 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 Year 2000 Problem if it or unrelated parties fail to
successfully and timely 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 and fiduciary risk.

Costs of Year 2000

The total cost to implement the five-phase program ranges from approximately
$400,000 to $450,000. Internal costs should approximate $235,000, while outside
consultants for legal work, contingency planning, and verification of testing
will approximate $190,000. Actual costs during the first three quarters of 1999
were $197,000 with $65,000 being internal costs with very little cash outlay and
will be absorbed by current operations. $132,000 has been spent on legal
consulting and miscellaneous Y2K related items in the first nine months of 1999.

$53,000 was spent on consultant and legal work in 1998. Fiscal year 1999
expenses have been budgeted at $109,000 for internal costs and $140,000 for
consultant and legal work. There has been a shift in personnel resulting from
the untimely death of a key employee which will require that the corporation
outsource additional work at higher costs in 1999.

With actual costs of $184,000 in 1998 and estimated costs of $250,000 for 1999,
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 Y2K project and the dates when 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, the
failure of a related third-party to achieve Y2K compliance, 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

                                     Page 13

<PAGE>

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 compliance with Y2K regulatory guidance, the corporation has completed
remediation contingency planning for mission critical systems and its business
resumption contingency planning was approved by the Board of Directors in July
1999. Remediation contingency planning for mission critical systems encompassed
the identification of alternative means of achieving Y2K readiness in the event
the mission critical system service provider or software vendor cannot complete
critical efforts by predetermined trigger dates. The corporation's development
of the business resumption contingency plan includes organizational planning
guidelines, a business impact analysis, a written disaster recovery/contingency
plan, and validation of the plan. Both forms of contingency planning are the
corporation's efforts to minimize any potential disruptions to business
operations due to a Y2K-related issue.

Other Year 2000 Endeavors

The corporation has also undertaken other endeavors to address the challenges of
the Year 2000 Problem. These include:

     1.  Stakeholder Communications
             o  Customer awareness program
             o  Bank employee communications and training
             o  Corporation shareholder communications
     2. Commercial Customer Credit Risk Control Process
             o  Due diligence process for current and future material customers
             o  Assessment of customer Year 2000 readiness
     3.  Fiduciary Client Risk Control Process
             o  Due diligence process for fiduciary account and asset
                administration servicers including investment providers, third
                parties, counterparties and transfer agents
             o  Assessment of servicer 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.
