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

          Review of Interim Financial Statements

          The condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the nine
          months ended September 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 nine
          months ended September 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.

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.

        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 8. Contingency

        As of November 13, 2003, the Fulton County National Bank & Trust
        Company is in the process of a regulatory examination being performed
        by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC).  As a result of
        preliminary results of the OCC exam, management has increased the
        allowance for loan losses to the level unofficially required by the
        examiners. Management does not expect any significant changes to the
        allowance as a result of finalizing the OCC examination.  However, it
        is reasonably possible that the final OCC examination results may
        require an additional provision to the allowance.

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

OVERVIEW

     Net after tax income for the first nine months of 2003 was $ 559,000
compared to $ 1,254,000 for the same period in 2002, representing a decrease of
$ 695,000, or 55.4%.  Net income on an adjusted per share basis for the first
nine months of 2003 was $ 1.13, a decrease of $ 1.41 from the $ 2.54 per share
realized during the nine months ended September 30, 2002.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

                    Third Quarter 2003 vs. Third Quarter 2002
     Interest income for the third quarter of 2003 was $ 2,115,000 compared with
$ 2,500,000 earned during the same period in 2002, for a decrease of $ 385,000,
or 15.4%.  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 third quarter of 2003 was $ 776,000, a decrease of
$ 342,000, or 30.5% from the $ 1,118,000 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 third quarter of 2003 totaled $ 1,339,000, down
$ 43,000, or 3.1%, from the third quarter of 2002.

                      Nine Months 2003 vs. Nine Months 2002

     Interest income for the first nine months of 2003 was $ 6,455,000 compared
with $ 7,518,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, for a decrease of
$ 1,063,000, or 14.1%.  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 nine months of 2003 was $ 2,432,000, a
decrease of $ 882,000, or 26.6% over the $ 3,314,000 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.

NET INTEREST MARGIN

     The net interest margin for the first nine months of 2003 was 3.70%
compared with 3.99% for the first nine 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

                    Third Quarter 2003 vs. Third Quarter 2002

     Third quarter 2003 non-interest income increased to $ 183,000 from
$ 157,000, or 16.5%.  Service charges on deposit accounts were $ 54,000 for the
third quarter 2003 compared with $ 55,000 for the same period in 2002.  Other
fee income increased $ 21,000, or 55.2%, primarily as a result of fee income
generated on the sale of mortgages to the Federal Home Loan Bank.  Other non-
interest income increased $ 6,000, or 9.3%, primarily as a result of the
earnings on $ 353,000 additional directors and officers' life insurance that was
purchased in late June 2003.  No securities gains or losses were reported for
the third quarter of 2003 or 2002.

                      Nine Months 2003 vs. Nine Months 2002

     Non-interest income for the first nine months of 2003 and the same period
in 2002 was $ 726,000 and $ 475,000, respectively.  Service charges on deposit
accounts increased $ 20,000, or 13.6%.  Other fee income increased $ 65,000, or
54.1%, primarily as a result of fee income generated on the sale of mortgages to
the Federal Home Loan Bank.  Other non-interest income increased $ 17,000, or
8.1%, 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 nine months of
2003 compared with $ 1,000 for the same period in 2002.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSES

                    Third Quarter 2003 vs. Third Quarter 2002

     Non-interest expenses for the third quarter of 2003 totaled $ 1,002,000, an
increase of $ 37,000, or 3.8%, over the $ 965,000 for the third quarter of 2002.
Salaries and employee-related expenses decreased $ 14,000 or 3%.  Fixed asset
expenses increased $ 23,000 or 13.1%.  Other non-interest expenses increased by
$ 29,000, or 8.7%, due to increases in advertising and promotion costs, OCC
assessments, data processing, PA shares tax, telephone, and other operating
expenses.

                                  Page 14 of 30
                      Nine Months 2003 vs. Nine Months 2002

     Non-interest expenses for the first nine months of 2003 totaled
$ 2,941,000, an increase of $ 107,000, or 3.8%, over the $ 2,834,000 for the
same period of 2002.  Salaries and employee-related expenses were down $ 64,000,
or 4.8%, primarily due to turnover of employees.  Fixed asset expenses increased
$ 50,000, or 9.0%, primarily due to equipment and building maintenance costs and
depreciation.  Other non-interest expenses increased by $ 123,000, or 12.8%, 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 third quarter of 2003 was ($ 280,000)
compared with $ 78,000 for the third quarter of 2002, while the provision was
($ 16,000) for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 compared to $ 351,000
for the first nine months of 2002.  The significant change between 2003 and 2002
was a result of the deferred tax benefit related to the large increase in the
provision for loan losses and the increase in non-taxable income as a percentage
of total income.  Effective income tax rates (compared to the marginal federal
income tax bracket of 34% applicable to each period) were as follows:

     Nine Months Ended
       September 30

     2003     2002
    (2.9%)    21.9%

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

     A $ 1,265,000 provision for loan losses was made for the first nine months
of 2003 compared with $ 240,000 for the first nine months of 2002.  The
provision for the third quarter 2003 was $ 1,030,000, compared to $ 115,000 for
2002.  The provisions were based on management's evaluation of the reserve for
possible loan losses at September 30, 2003 and 2002.

     There were no restructured loans for any of the time periods set forth

                                  Page 16 of 30
       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

       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 which 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
nine months ended September 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 significantly over the past four quarters.  No
loans were past-due 90 days or more still accruing at September 30, 2003
compared with $ 1,600,000 at September 30, 2002.  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.  During the third quarter 2003, loans totaling 1,306,000, to two
other borrowers were placed on nonaccrual status.  Seventy percent of the loans
in nonaccrual status are fully collateralized with real estate.  Classified
loans on September 30, 2003 were $ 4,281,000 compared with $ 4,873,000 on
September 30, 2002.  The Bank has identified farm loans as a concentration of
credit.  At September 30, 2003, farm loans comprised $ 2,742,000, or 64.1%, of
the classified loans.
                                  Page 17 of 30
          In addition, the allowance has been adjusted in the third quarter
based on preliminary results of an OCC examination conducted in July and August
for which an official report has not yet been received.  As a result of the
increased delinquencies and classified loans, the examiners have suggested
increasing the allowance to a level more in line with the bank's peer group (as
a percentage of total loans) as a way to provide for the perceived increase in
the overall risk associated with the bank's loan portfolio.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

       Assets

       Total assets on September 30, 2003 were $ 150,144,000 compared to
$ 162,282,000, on December 31, 2002, a decrease of 7.4%.  Management intends to
contain growth and concentrate on maintaining adequate profit margins.  Net
loans on September 30, 2003 stood at $ 103,588,000, a decrease of 3.4% from
$ 107,236,000 on December 31, 2002.  The loan loss reserve at September 30, 2003
was $ 1,917,000 and is considered adequate, in management's judgment, to absorb
possible loan losses on existing loans.

       Liabilities

       Total deposits decreased 2.5% to $ 110,187,000 as of September 30, 2003
compared with $ 113,025,000 at December 31, 2002.  Interest-bearing savings
deposits increased 4.5%, while non-interest-bearing demand deposits and
interest-bearing time deposits decreased 4.6% and 5.6%, respectively.

       Capital

       Total equity as of September 30, 2003 was $ 16,358,000 representing
10.8% of total assets compared with $ 16,659,000, or 10.3% of total assets,
reported on December 31, 2002.  Accumulated earnings for the first nine months
of 2003 were offset by dividends declared and paid of $ 359,000 and $ 377,000
net unrealized losses 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 September 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.

     2.   Based on my knowledge, the quarterly report does not contain any
          untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact
          necessary to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances
          under which such statements were made, not misleading with respect to
          the period covered by this quarterly report.

     3.   Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial
          information included in this quarterly report, fairly present in all

               disclosure controls and procedures to be designed under our

               registrant, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made
               known to us by others within those entities, particularly during
               the period in which this quarterly report is being prepared;

          (b)  evaluated the effectiveness of the registrant's disclosure
               controls and procedures and presented in this quarterly report
               our conclusions about the effectiveness of the disclosure
               controls and procedures, as of the end of the period covered by
               this quarterly report based on such evaluation; and

          (c) disclosed in this quarterly report any change in the registrant's
               internal control over financial reporting that occurred during
               the registrant's most recent fiscal quarter that has materially
               affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the
               registrant's internal control over financial reporting.

               design or operation of internal control over financial reporting
               which are reasonably likely to adversely affect the registrant's
               ability to record, process, summarize and report financial
               information; and

          (b)  any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or

                         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 September 30, 2003 and the related
consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income for the three and
nine month periods ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, and consolidated
statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 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.
