Drovers Bancshares Corporation and Subsidiaries

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

GENERAL

Drovers Bancshares Corporation ("Drovers") was organized on October 27, 1982, under the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law and holds all the stock of The Drovers & Mechanics Bank ("Drovers Bank"). The Management of The Drovers & Mechanics Bank formed Drovers Bancshares Corporation for greater flexibility in providing a wider variety of banking services and in engaging in nonbanking activities permitted under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended.

The Drovers & Mechanics Bank is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Drovers. Drovers Bank is chartered pursuant to the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and is subject to the supervision of the Banking Department of the Commonwealth and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Drovers Bank was organized in 1883 as a national bank and became a state-chartered non-member bank of the Federal Reserve System on February 14, 1979. Drovers Bank has two wholly-owned subsidiaries: 96 South George Street, Inc. and Drovers Investment Company. 96 South's primary asset is an office building attached to Drovers Bank's Main Office which houses our corporate headquarters. Drovers Investment Company's assets consist of investment securities, primarily municipal bonds. In addition, Drovers Bank is 60% owner of Drovers Settlement Services ("DSS"), a joint venture with Abstracting Company of York. DSS offers real estate title insurance and settlement services. The minority interest was $20,000 as of December 31, 2000 and was included in other liabilities.

Drovers also wholly owns two other subsidiaries: Drovers Realty Company and Drovers Capital Trust I. Drovers Realty Company has various real estate holdings, including ground and building leases. It rents the real estate to Drovers Bank for use as branch offices. Drovers Capital Trust I owns junior subordinated deferrable debentures due from Drovers. The debentures are the sole asset of the Trust. The Trust issued $7,500,000 of preferred securities to investors secured by the debentures. For additional information on the Trust, see Note 14 on page 15 of the Drovers Corporation 2000 Annual Report filed as Exhibit 13 to this Form 10-K and incorporated herein by reference. In addition, Drovers entered into a joint venture with seven other Pennsylvania banks to form Pennbanks Insurance Company, an offshore reinsurance company. Each bank in the venture owns a segregated cell through which its respective premiums and losses from credit life and accident and health insurance are funded and for which each bank has sole responsibility. The Drovers' cell has been consolidated into the financial statements since we are sole owner of that cell.

Drovers Bank offers a wide variety of banking and trust services to individuals and commercial customers in its service area. Personal banking services include checking accounts, savings and time accounts, certificates of deposit, personal and mortgage loans, home improvement loans, safe deposit services, estate planning and administration, personal trust management and discount brokerage services. Commercial banking services are provided to businesses, nonprofit organizations and local municipalities. These services include checking accounts, savings and time accounts, financing activities and corporate trust services in the areas of pension, profit sharing and employee benefit plans. Investment services and trust launched a new initiative at the end of 1999, Oak Tree Investment Group. Oak Tree Investment Group provides enhanced investment management, financial planning and brokerage services.

On December 31, 2000, Drovers Bank employed 237 full-time equivalents throughout its branch offices. The Main Office is located at 30 South George Street, York, Pennsylvania. A Research and Administrative Services Center and nine branches are located in the surrounding suburbs of York City. In addition, there are seven out-of-town offices located in Dillsburg, Shrewsbury, Emigsville, Hellam, Newberrytown , Dover and Red Lion, Pennsylvania. Full-service bank offices at Memory Lane and Newberrytown were opened in 2000, while our old Memory Lane branch office, the Mt. Rose branch office and the York Haven branch office were closed. Drovers Bank opened its first loan production office (LPO) in the first quarter of 1999 in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania. We opened an additional loan production office in Frederick, Maryland in August 1999. On February 21, 2000, the Frederick office began accepting deposits from business customers. Drovers Bank also has twelve remote automated teller machines. Locations include the York Fairgrounds, York College of Pennsylvania, and ten inside convenience stores.

In December 1993, Drovers Bank purchased the office building attached to our Main Office. The five-story complex is known as 96 South George. The accounting, corporate banking, and executive offices are located on the fifth floor of 96 South George.

GENERAL

Drovers Bank is a limited partner in six ventures that own and operate apartment buildings. The apartments provide low-income housing to qualified families. The investments are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. The combined carrying values of the investments at December 31, 2000 and 1999 were $6,377,000 and $5,554,000, respectively.

On December 27, 2000, Drovers entered into a merger agreement with Fulton Financial Corporation ("Fulton"), pursuant to which Drovers will be merged with Fulton, with Fulton as the surviving corporation. The merger agreement was approved by Drovers' Board of Directors on December 27, 2000. Under the merger agreement, The Drovers & Mechanics Bank, the sole bank subsidiary of Drovers, will be merged into Fulton Bank, a bank subsidiary of Fulton. The merger agreement was included as an exhibit to Drovers' Form 8-K filed with the SEC on January 3, 2001. For additional information, see Note 24 and page 21 of the Drovers Bancshares Corporation 2000 Annual Report.

SUPERVISION AND REGULATION

Bank Holding Company Regulation

Drovers is registered as a bank holding company and is subject to the regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "Federal Reserve") under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended ("BHCA"). Bank holding companies are required to file periodic reports with and are subject to examination by the Federal Reserve. The Federal Reserve has issued regulations under the BHCA that require a bank holding company to serve as a source of financial and managerial strength to its subsidiary banks. As a result, the Federal Reserve, pursuant to such regulations, may require Drovers to stand ready to use its resources to provide adequate capital funds to Drovers Bank during periods of financial stress or adversity.

Under the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 ("FDICIA"), a bank holding company is required to guarantee the compliance of any insured depository institution subsidiary that may become "undercapitalized" as defined by regulations) with the terms of any capital restoration plan filed by such subsidiary with its appropriate federal banking agency, up to specified limits.

Under the BHCA, the Federal Reserve has the authority to require a bank holding company to terminate any activity or relinquish control of a nonbank subsidiary (other than a nonbank subsidiary of a bank) upon the Federal Reserve's determination that such activity or control constitutes a serious risk to the financial soundness and stability of any bank subsidiary of the bank holding company.

The BHCA prohibits Drovers from acquiring direct or indirect control of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of any class of voting stock or substantially all of the assets of any bank or merging or consolidating with another bank holding company without prior approval of the Federal Reserve. Such a transaction would also require approval of the Pennsylvania Department of Banking. Pennsylvania law permits Pennsylvania bank holding companies to control an unlimited number of banks.

Additionally, the BHCA prohibits Drovers from engaging in or from acquiring ownership or control of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of any class of voting stock of any company engaged in a nonbanking business unless such business is determined by the Federal Reserve to be so closely related to banking as to be a proper incident thereto. The Federal Reserve can differentiate between nonbanking activities that are initiated by a bank holding company or subsidiary and activities that are acquired as a going concern. The BHCA does not place territorial restrictions on the activities of such nonbanking-related activities. Drovers and its subsidiaries are prohibited from engaging in certain tie-in arrangements in connection with any extension of credit, lease or sale of property, or furnishing of services.

Federal Reserve approval may be required before Drovers or its nonbank subsidiaries may begin to engage in any new activity and before acquiring a business.

SUPERVISION AND REGULATION

, continued

Dividend Restrictions

Drovers is a legal entity separate and distinct from Drovers Bank and the Drovers' nonbank subsidiaries. Drovers' revenues (on a parent company only basis) result almost entirely from dividends received from its subsidiaries. The right of Drovers and consequently the right of creditors and shareholders of Drovers, to participate in any distribution of the assets or earnings of any subsidiary through the payment of such dividends or otherwise is necessarily subject to the prior claims of creditors of the subsidiary (including depositors, in the case of Drovers Bank), except to the extent that claims of Drovers in its capacity as a creditor may be recognized.

Federal and state laws regulate the payment of dividends by Drovers' subsidiaries. See "Supervision and Regulation - Regulation of Drovers Bank" herein.

Further, it is the policy of the Federal Reserve that bank holding companies should pay dividends only out of current earnings. Federal banking regulators also have the authority to prohibit banks and bank holding companies from paying a dividend if they should deem such payment to be an unsafe or unsound practice.

Capital Adequacy

Bank holding companies are required to comply with the Federal Reserve's risk-based capital guidelines. The required minimum ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets (including certain off-balance sheet activities, such as standby letters of credit) is 8%. At least half (4%) of the total capital is required to be "Tier 1 Capital," consisting principally of common shareholders' equity, noncumulative perpetual preferred stock, a limited amount of cumulative perpetual preferred stock, and minority interests in the equity accounts of consolidated subsidiaries, less certain intangible assets. The remainder ("Tier 2 capital") may consist of a limited amount of subordinated debt and intermediate-term preferred stock, certain hybrid capital instruments and other debt securities, perpetual preferred stock, and a limited amount of the general loan loss allowance. In addition to the risk-based capital guidelines, the Federal Reserve requires a bank holding company to maintain a minimum "leverage ratio." This requires a minimum level of Tier 1 capital (as determined under the risk-based capital rules) to average total consolidated assets of 3% for those bank holding companies that have the highest regulatory examination ratings and are not contemplating or experiencing significant growth or expansion. All other bank holding companies are expected to maintain a ratio of at least 1% to 2% above the stated minimum. Further, the Federal Reserve has indicated that it will consider a "tangible Tier 1 capital leverage ratio" deducting all intangibles and other indications of capital strength in evaluating proposals for expansion or new activities. The Federal Reserve has not advised us that we should apply any specific minimum leverage ratio applicable to the Company.

Pursuant to FDICIA, the federal banking agencies have specified, by regulation, the levels at which an insured institution is considered "well capitalized," "adequately capitalized," "undercapitalized," " significantly undercapitalized," or "critically undercapitalized." Under these regulations, an institution is considered "well capitalized" if it has a total risk-based capital ratio of 10% or greater, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 6% or greater, a leverage ratio of 5% or greater, and is not subject to any order or written directive to meet and maintain a specific capital level. Drovers and the Drovers Bank, at December 31, 2000, qualify as "well capitalized" under these regulatory standards.

FDIC Insurance

Drovers Bank is subject to FDIC deposit insurance assessments. The FDIC has adopted a risk-related premium assessment system for both the Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF") for banks and the Savings Association Insurance fund ("SAIF" ) for savings associations. Under this system, FDIC insurance premiums are assessed based on capital and supervisory measures.

Under the risk-related premium assessment system, the FDIC, on a semiannual basis, assigns each institution to one of three capital groups (well capitalized, adequately capitalized, or undercapitalized) and further assigns such institution to one of three subgroups within a capital group corresponding to the FDIC's judgment of its strength based on supervisory evaluations, including examination reports, statistical analysis, and other information relevant to gauging the risk posed by the institution. Only institutions with a total risk-based capital to risk-adjusted assets ratio of 10% or greater, a Tier 1 capital to risk-adjusted assets ratio of 6% or greater, and a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 5% or greater, are assigned to the well-capitalized group.

FDIC Insurance
, continued

On September 30, 1996, the President of the United States signed into law the Deposit Insurance Funds Act of 1996 to recapitalize the Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF") administered by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC")and to provide for repayment of the FICO (Financial Institution Collateral Obligation) bonds issued by the United States Treasury Department. The FDIC levied a one-time special assessment of SAIF deposits equal to 65.7 cents per $100 of the SAIF-accessible deposit base as of March 31, 1995. During 1997, 1998 and 1999, the Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF") will pay $322 million of FICO debt service, and SAIF will pay $458 million. During 1997, 1998 and 1999, the average regular annual deposit insurance assessment is estimated to be about 1.29 cents per $100 of deposits for BIF deposits and 6.44 cents per $100 of deposits for SAIF deposits. Individual institution's assessments will continue to vary according to their capital and management ratings. As always, the FDIC will be able to raise the assessments as necessary to maintain the funds at their target capital ratios provided by law. After 1999, BIF and SAIF will share the FICO cost equally. The FDIC established the FICO assessment for the third quarter of 2000 at approximately 2.1 cents per $100 annually for assessable deposits. The assessments are adjusted quarterly to reflect changes in the bases of the FDIC's insurance funds and do not vary depending on a depository institution's capitalization or supervisory evaluations. The FICO bonds will mature in 2018-2019, ending the interest payment obligation.

Regulation of Drovers Bank

The operations of Drovers Bank are subject to federal and state statues applicable to banks chartered under the banking laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania that are not members of the Federal Reserve System and to banks whose deposits are insured by the FDIC.

The FDIC, which has primary supervisory authority over Drovers Bank, regularly examines banks in such areas as reserves, loans, investments, management practices, and other aspects of operations. These examinations are designed for the protection of Drovers Bank's depositors rather than Drovers' shareholders. Drovers Bank must furnish annual and quarterly reports to the FDIC, which has the authority under the Financial Institutions Supervisory Act to prevent a state non-member bank from engaging in an unsafe or unsound practice in conducting its business.

Federal and state banking laws and regulations govern, among other things, the scope of a bank's business, the investments a bank may take, the reserves against deposits a bank must maintain, the types and terms of loans a bank may make and the collateral it may take, the activities of a bank with respect to mergers and consolidations, and the establishment of branches. Pennsylvania law permits statewide branching.

Pennsylvania law permits State chartered financial institutions to sell insurance not limited by the town of 5,000 restriction applicable to national banks. The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency has issued guidelines for national banks to sell insurance. Drovers Bank has been licensed as an insurance agency within the State of Pennsylvania. We presently sell fixed and variable rate annuity products and are evaluating our options regarding the sale of additional insurance products.

In 2000, Pennsylvania enacted Act 89, the Pennsylvania Parity Bill, which authorizes Pennsylvania-chartered banks to engage in any activity authorized for national banks.

Under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, as amended, Drovers Bank is required to obtain the prior approval of the FDIC for the payment of dividends if the total of all dividends declared by the Bank in one year would exceed the Drovers Bank's net profits (as defined and interpreted by regulation) for the current year plus its retained net profits (as defined and interpreted by regulation)for the two preceding years, less any required transfers to surplus. In addition, Drovers Bank may only pay dividends to the extent that its retained net profits (including the portion transferred to surplus) exceed statutory bad debts (as defined by regulation). Under FDICIA, any depository institution, including Drovers Bank, is prohibited from paying any dividends, making other distributions or paying any management fees if, after such payment, it would fail to satisfy its minimum capital requirements.

Regulation of Drovers Bank, continued

A subsidiary bank of a bank holding company, such as Drovers Bank, is subject to certain restrictions imposed by the Federal Reserve Act on any extensions of credit to the bank holding company or its subsidiaries, on investments in the stock or other securities of the bank holding company or its subsidiaries, and on taking such stock or securities as collateral for loans. The Federal Reserve Act and Federal Reserve regulations also place certain limitations and reporting requirements on extensions of credit by a bank to the principal shareholders of its parent holding company, among others, and to related interests of such principal shareholders. In addition, such legislation and regulations may affect the terms upon which any person becoming a principal shareholder of a holding company may obtain credit from banks with which the subsidiary bank maintains a correspondent relationship.

Drovers Bank, and the banking industry in general, are affected by the monetary and fiscal policies of government agencies, including the Federal Reserve. Through open market securities transactions and changes in its discount rate and reserve requirements, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve exerts considerable influence over the cost and unavailability of funds for lending and investment.

COMPETITION

The financial services industry in Drovers Bank's service area is extremely competitive. Competitors within its service area include multi-bank holding companies, with resources substantially greater than ours. Many competitor financial institutions have legal lending limits substantially higher than Drovers Bank's legal lending limit. In addition, we compete with savings banks, savings and loan associations, credit unions, money market and other mutual funds, mortgage companies, leasing companies, finance companies, and other financial services companies that offer products and services similar to those offered by Drovers Bank on competitive terms.

GRAMM-LEACH-BLILEY FINANCIAL MODERNIZATION ACT OF 1999

Traditionally, the activities of bank holding companies have been limited to the business of banking and activities closely related or incidental to banking. On November 12, 1999, however, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act was signed into law which permits bank holding companies to engage in a broader range of financial activities. Specifically, bank holding companies may elect to become "financial holding companies" which may affiliate with securities firms and insurance companies and engage in other activities that are financial in nature or incidental to a financial activity. A bank holding company may become a financial holding company under the new statute only if each of its subsidiary banks is well capitalized, is well managed and has at least a satisfactory rating under the Community Reinvestment Act. A bank holding company that falls out of compliance with such requirement may be required to cease engaging in certain activities. Any bank holding company which does not elect to become a financial holding company remains subject to the current restrictions of the Bank Holding Company Act.

While the Federal Reserve Board will serve as the "umbrella" regulator for financial holding companies and has the power to examine banking organizations engaged in new activities, regulation and supervision of activities which are financial in nature or determined to be incidental to such financial activities will be handled along functional lines. Accordingly, activities of subsidiaries of a financial holding company will be regulated by the agency or authorities with the most experience regulating that activity as it is conducted in a financial holding company.

Under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, among the activities that will be deemed "financial in nature" for "financial holding companies" are, in addition to traditional lending activities, securities underwriting, dealing in or making a market in securities, sponsoring mutual funds and investment companies, insurance underwriting and agency activities, activities which FRB determines to be closely related to banking, and certain merchant banking activities.

PRIVACY

Under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, federal banking regulators are required to adopt rules that will limit the ability of banks and other financial institutions to disclose non-public information about consumers to nonaffiliated third parties. These limitations will require disclosure of privacy policies to consumers and, in some circumstances, will allow consumers to prevent disclosure of certain personal information to a nonaffiliated third party. Federal banking regulators issued final rules on May 10, 2000. Pursuant to the rules, financial institutions must provide:

initial notices to customers about their privacy policies, describing the conditions under which they may disclose nonpublic personal information to nonaffiliated third parties and affiliates;
annual notices of their privacy policies to current customers; and
a reasonable method for customers to "opt out" of disclosures to nonaffiliated third parties.

The rules were effective November 13, 2000, but compliance is optional until July 1, 2001. These privacy provisions will affect how consumer information is transmitted through diversified financial companies and conveyed to outside vendors. It is not possible at this time to assess the impact of the privacy provisions on Drovers' financial condition or results of operations.

To the extent that the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act permits banks, securities firms and insurance companies to affiliate, the financial services industry may experience further consolidation. This could result in a growing number of larger financial institutions that offer a wider variety of financial services than Drovers currently offers and that can aggressively compete in the markets that Drovers currently serves.

Effective March 23, 2001, Drovers became a Financial Holding Company under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act.

CONSUMER PROTECTION RULES - SALE OF INSURANCE

In December, 2000 pursuant to the requirements of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, the federal bank and thrift regulatory agencies adopted consumer protection rules for the sale of insurance products by depository institutions. The rule is effective on October 1, 2001. The final rule applies to any depository institution or any person selling, soliciting, advertising or offering insurance products or annuities to a consumer at an office of the institution or on behalf of the institution. The regulation requires oral and written disclosure before the completion of the sale of an insurance product or annuity that such product:

is not a deposit or other obligation of, or guaranteed by, the depository institution or its affiliate;
is not insured by the FDIC or any other agency of the United States, the depository institution or its affiliates; and
has certain risks of investment, including the possible loss of value.

The depository institution may not condition an extension of credit on the consumer's purchase of an insurance product or annuity from the depository institution or from any of its affiliates, or on the consumer's agreement not to obtain, or a prohibition on the consumer from obtaining, an insurance product or annuity from an unaffiliated entity. Furthermore, to the extent practicable, a depository institution must keep insurance and annuity sales activities physically segregated from the areas where retail deposits are routinely accepted from the general public. Finally, the rule addresses cross marketing and referral fees.

INTERSTATE BANKING LEGISLATION

In September 1994, the Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act (the "Interstate Banking Act") was enacted. The Interstate Banking Act facilitates the interstate expansion and consolidation of banking organizations (i) by permitting bank holding companies that are adequately capitalized and adequately managed, beginning September 29, 1995, to acquire banks located in states outside their home states regardless of whether such acquisitions are authorized under the law of the host state; (ii) by permitting the interstate merger of banks after June 1, 1997, subject to the right of individual states to "opt in" or "opt out" of this authority before that date; (iii) by permitting banks to establish new branches on an interstate basis provided that such action is specifically authorized by the law of the host state; (iv) by permitting, beginning September 29, 1995, a bank to engage in certain agency relationships (i.e., to receive deposits, renew time deposits, close loans (but not including loan approvals or disbursements), service loans, and receive payments on loans and other obligations) as agent for any bank or thrift affiliate, whether the affiliate is located in the same state or a different state then the agent bank; and (v) by permitting foreign banks to establish, with approval of the regulators in the United States, branches outside their "home" states to the same extent that national or state banks located in the home state would be authorized to do so. One effect of this legislation will be to permit Drovers to acquire banks and bank holding companies located in any state and to permit qualified banking organizations located in any state to acquire banks and bank holding companies located in Pennsylvania, irrespective of state law.

Since 1995, the Pennsylvania Banking Code has authorized full interstate banking and branching under Pennsylvania law. Specifically, the legislation (i) eliminates the "reciprocity" requirement previously applicable to interstate commercial bank acquisitions by bank holding companies, (ii) authorized interstate bank mergers and reciprocal interstate branching into Pennsylvania by interstate banks, and (iii) permits Pennsylvania institutions to branch into other states with the prior approval of the Pennsylvania Department of Banking.

Overall, this federal and state legislation has, as was predicted, had the effect of increasing consolidation and competition and promoting geographic diversification in the banking industry.

Under the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977 ("CRA"), the FDIC is required to assess the records of all financial institutions regulated by it to determine if these institutions are meeting the credit needs of the communities (including low and moderate income neighborhoods) which they serve. The FDIC also takes this record into account in its evaluation of any application made by any of such institutions for, among other things, approval of branch banking or other deposit facilities, office relocation, or merger and acquisitions of financial institutions.

The CRA requires the FDIC to provide written evaluation of an institution's CRA performance and requires public disclosure of an institution's CRA rating. Drovers Bank received a "satisfactory" rating in its last CRA examination conducted by the FDIC.

PROPOSED LEGISLATION AND REGULATIONS

From time to time, various federal and state legislation is proposed that could result in additional regulation of, and restriction on, the business of Drovers and Drovers Bank, or otherwise change the business environment.

We cannot predict whether any of this legislation, if enacted, will have a material effect on the business of Drovers.

Maturities for mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations are dependent upon the interest rate environment and prepayments on the underlying loans. For the purposes of these tables, the entire balance and weighted average rate are shown in one period.

Drovers Bank has no set rollover policy. Many of our loans are made on a short-term basis with full intention of renewal at time of maturity. All loans, however, are reviewed on a continual basis for creditworthiness. Should a loan become questionable or approach problem loan status, it then undergoes a formal review process by all appropriate levels of authority. For additional information on the loan review process, see Note 1 on pages 7-8 and the Provision for Loan Losses on pages 26-27 of the Drovers Corporation 2000 Annual Report.

NONACCRUAL, RESTRUCTURED LOANS AND NONPERFORMING ASSETS

The following table shows loans on nonaccrual status or loans, which have been restructured for the past five years:

Nonaccrual loans as a percentage of loans at December 31, 2000 and 1999 were 0.46% and 1.16%, respectively. Nonaccrual loans as of December 31, 1999 included a significant corporate relationship secured by trade receivables. During the second quarter of 2000, continued deterioration in the underlying collateral caused us to charge-off the balance of the relationship that was not secured by real estate and under contract for sale. Interest on restructured loans in compliance with modified terms is recognized under the accrual method of accounting. Drovers held $1,327,000 of impaired loans at December 31, 2000. The recorded allowance for impaired loans was $304,000.

We manage the risk characteristics of our loan portfolio through various control processes. Risk is further controlled through the application of lending procedures such as the holding of adequate collateral, contractual guarantees, and compensating balances.

We also consider the amount of recent and expected charge-offs, the loan portfolio mix and changes in the economy when determining the provision for loan losses. We believe these procedures provide adequate assurance against losses and the level of the Reserve for Loan Losses is sufficient to meet any present or potential risks.

DEFINED BENEFIT OR ACTUARIAL PLAN DISCLOSURE

Pension Plan

Drovers maintains a qualified pension plan covering all full-time employees who are at least 21 years of age and who have completed one year of service. Participants become fully vested in the plan after 5 years of service. Each participant in the plan is entitled to a monthly benefit commencing at the participant's normal retirement date, assuming the participant has attained at least age 65 and has completed five years of participation, and continuing for life, with payments guaranteed for the first 120 months. Benefit amounts for a fully-vested participant equal 33% of the participant's average monthly pay if the participant has 15 or more years of service, plus 0.58% of average monthly pay in excess of the Social Security integration level as outlined in Table I Covered Compensation multiplied by years of service at normal retirement up to a maximum of 25 years. Average monthly pay is based upon the five plan years preceding the normal retirement date. Our contributions to the pension plan are determined on an actuarial basis.

Following are estimated annual benefits payable upon retirement to persons in specified salary and service classifications, assuming retirement at age 65 during 2001. For this purpose, the Social Security integration level assumed is $37,212.

FINAL AVERAGE COMPENSATION	ANNUAL RETIREMENT BENEFIT FOR YEARS OF SERVICE INDICATED
	15 Years	25 Years	35 Years
$75,000	$28,083	$30,229	$30,229

$225,000	$63,653	$75,354	$75,354

The Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 (OBRA -93) has placed the limit on compensation which may be taken into account under a defined benefit plan reducing it from $235,840 in 1993 to $150,000 beginning in 1994. The new limit increases with inflation, only when inflation permits a full $10,000 increase. As of 2001, this limit increased to $170,000. Only accruals after 1993 will be affected by the compensation limit.

As of December 31, 2000, A. Richard Pugh, Debra A. Goodling, Michael J. Groft, Shawn A. Stine and Michael E. Kochenour were credited with 19 years, 24 years, 23 years, 9 years and 1 year of service, respectively.

Change in Control Agreements

Messrs. Pugh, Groft, Stine and Kochenour and Ms. Goodling each have an Agreement with Drovers which provides certain benefits in the event of a change in control of Drovers.

A " change in control" is defined as:

 the acquisition of 25% or more of the outstanding voting securities by any entity, person or group,

 a merger or consolidation if, as a result of the transaction, less than 75% of the voting securities of the surviving corporation are owned by the former shareholders, other than affiliates of any party to the merger or consolidation,

 a sale of substantially all of our assets, or

 a change in a majority of our directors during any two-year period.

Mr. Pugh's Agreement provides for:

 continued full compensation for three years (subject to reduction by one-half of the amount of any base annual salary from any new employment),

 continuation of benefits under the Supplemental Retirement Plan described under Pension Plan,

 an acceleration of the right to exercise his current options under our stock option plans and

 retention of Mr. Pugh as an independent consultant for six months following a change in control termination.

The Agreements with Messrs. Groft, Stine and Kochenour and Ms. Goodling provide for:

 the continued payment of their full compensation for 18 months (subject to reduction by one-half of the amount of any Form W-2 income from any new employment) and

 continuation of benefits for up to 18 months and an acceleration of the right to exercise current options held by the respective executive officer under our stock option plans

COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS

Each director received $2,000 per quarter for a total retainer of $8,000 during 2000. A director who is an officer or employee of Drovers is not compensated for service as a director. Beginning July 1, 1999, non-employee directors could elect to receive stock options in lieu of quarterly director fees.

BOARD COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

The Personnel Committee reviews the executive compensation program annually and makes recommendations to the Board.

Drovers executive compensation program has three main components:

Base Salary

Base salaries for executive officers are determined annually by evaluating:

the responsibilities of the position
the experience of the individual
Drovers financial results
the competitive marketplace

The base salary increases in 2000 averaged approximately 4.0% over 1999. The Personnel Committee considers the following three factors in arriving at the average annual increase of base salaries:

a survey conducted of certain South Central Pennsylvania banks to determine the average increase in base salaries they expect for the upcoming year
an average annual increase of base salaries expected by banks of similar asset size on a regional level provided by our employee benefit consultant, and
the amount of increase feasible in terms of our budget.

ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION, continued

BOARD COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

, continued

Base Salary, continued

In general, specific individual performance is weighted more heavily than corporate performance to determine base salaries of senior management. However, as responsibility increases, more emphasis is placed on corporate performance in setting an individual's base salary. Corporate performance is measured using:

achievement of various budget goals,
growth of the institution and
peer group comparisons.

Annual Incentive Bonus

The annual incentive bonus program was designed to support and promote the pursuit of our organizational objectives and financial goals as defined in our strategic and financial plans. The program provides for the payment of an annual cash and stock option bonus to executive and certain key officers. The program is based on Drovers return on equity. Bonuses are paid only to executive officers if the targeted return on equity is achieved. The following additional factors are considered:

most recent CAMELS rating,
most recent CRA rating and
Drovers leverage ratio.

Assuming the target threshold is achieved, the bonus paid is determined by a percentage of net income and is allocated to each participant based upon a formula which considers level of responsibility and industry practices. The formula provides that 65% of the bonus is paid in cash and 35% is deferred and paid in the form of stock options.

Stock Options

We provide stock options under Drovers Incentive Stock Option Plan to executives in positions with significant responsibilities and impact on long-term performance. The Personnel Committee believes that stock option grants are an effective way to align the interests of our executives with our shareholders by making a portion of an optionee's compensation dependent upon the long-term performance of our stock. Options are granted to officers with the title vice president and above. In determining the number of options granted in 2000, the Personnel Committee considered information available to it regarding options granted by other public companies, and in particular, banking institutions. The Personnel Committee has followed a policy to date of providing that only 50% of options granted are exercisable immediately. They use both objective and subjective methods of determining the amount of shares subject to future grants. They may consider such factors as:

the potential realizable value of particular options based on an assumed rate of appreciation in the price of Drovers stock,
a desired level of ownership in Drovers based on assumed rate of appreciation in the price of Drovers stock,
a desired level of ownership in Drovers based on position,
formula grants and
individual performance.

Stock option grants made to executive officers during fiscal year 2000 are included in the Option Grant Table.

Chief Executive Officer Compensation

Drovers and our Chief Executive Officer, A. Richard Pugh, have not entered into an employment agreement. Thus, the factors involved in establishing a compensation package for Mr. Pugh are similar to those noted above for all executives. However, the value of Mr. Pugh's compensation is more closely tied to corporate performance and the long-term performance of our stock. Specifically, Mr. Pugh's compensation for 2000 was determined as follows:

Stock Options
: Stock options are an important portion of Mr. Pugh's overall compensation package, particularly given the policy-making function of such position. The Personnel Committee believes linking a portion of Mr. Pugh's compensation to the long-term performance of our stock encourages him to pursue policies which enhance long-term shareholder value. Mr. Pugh received stock options to purchase 16,431 shares in 2000, 10,859 shares in 1999, and 6,274 shares in 1998. The stock options granted represented 31% in 2000, 26% of all stock options granted in 1999, and 24% in 1998.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS

Mr. Gary A. Stewart, Mr. Robert H. Stewart, Jr. and other members of the Stewart family have filed, as a group, a Schedule 13D with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Schedule 13D disclosed that, while no member of such group beneficially owns or has power to vote more than 5% of Drovers shares, as a group such persons may be deemed to beneficially own 808,601^1,12 shares of common stock, or approximately 15.14%, of Drovers issued and outstanding shares. Besides the Stewart family, we are not aware of any other person or group who beneficially owns more than five percent (5%) of Drovers outstanding common stock.

In connection with the Agreement and Plan of Merger by and between Drovers and Fulton Financial Corporation, Drovers and Fulton Financial entered into a Warrant Agreement dated as of December 27, 2000. Pursuant to the Warrant Agreement, Drovers has granted Fulton Financial a Warrant to purchase up to 1,250,000 shares of Drovers common stock, which represented 19.8% of the shares of Drovers common stock outstanding on December 27,2000, giving effect to the issuance of the shares pursuant to an exercise of the Warrant. Generally, the Warrant may only be exercised under certain circumstances where another party attempts to acquire control of Drovers,

as specifically set forth in the Warrant Agreement. As of February 28, 2001, the Warrant had not become exercisable and, in its Schedule 13D, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 4, 2001,

Fulton Financial has disclaimed beneficial ownership of the shares of common stock subject to the Warrant.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

Some of our directors and executive officers, members of their immediate families and some of their companies had ordinary banking transactions with Drovers Bank during 2000. We expect additional transactions in the future. All transactions were made on substantially the same terms, including interest rates, collateral requirements and repayment terms, as we offered to all of our customers at the time for comparable transactions. These transactions did not involve more than the normal risk of collectability or present other unfavorable terms.
