A Message to Our Shareholders

Dear Shareholder:

Franklin Financial reported record earnings of  $9,256,000 in 2007, representing 

a 22.3% increase over net income of  $7,570,000 in 2006 … a year in which we

increased earnings by 23.9%. Diluted earnings per share increased 14.3% from 

$2.10 in 2006 to $2.40 in 2007.

As shareholders, you received a 4% increase in regular cash dividends from $.99 in

2006 to $1.03 per share in 2007. Regular cash dividends have grown at an average

rate of  6.51% over the past five years.

In spite of  our strong performance, the market value of  a share of  Franklin Financial

stock decreased 8.6% from a closing price of  $27.30 at year-end 2006 to $24.95 

at December 31, 2007. Irrespective of  individual fundamentals, virtually all stocks 

in the financial services sector seem to have been “painted with the same brush” 

by investors … reflecting the subprime mortgage “meltdown” in 2007 as well as 

concerns relative to the economy and deteriorating credit-quality issues.

Although we are not pleased with the decline in our market value, the universe of

publicly traded banks finished down an average of  21% while the American Banker

Index (comprised of  225 banks) was down 26.6% in 2007. The performance of  the

financial services sector compared unfavorably to the DOW which finished the year

up 6.4%, the NASDAQ which climbed 9.8%, and the S&P 500 which closed up 3.5%.

It has been roughly seventeen years since investors last witnessed such a sector

specific decline which, at that time, came about when the commercial real estate

market unraveled. Right now there is more uncertainty than there is knowledge

regarding the ultimate level of  losses that will be realized in the financial services

4

sector. We do know that over $188 billion in write-downs have been taken by financial

institutions globally with about 60% of  these losses recorded in the U.S. and 40%

abroad. We also know that banks are aggressively increasing their provision for

loan losses, which is placing further pressure on their earnings and, potentially, 

cash dividend payouts. It may take another couple of  quarters before investors 

have a more comprehensive view of  the ultimate losses to be incurred and, therefore,

before earnings for financial services companies begin to stabilize. Until investors

gain confidence that the majority of  losses have been quantified, we are not 

optimistic that financial services stocks will show a significant recovery.

As I have stated emphatically in my quarterly Letter to Shareholders,

your company has never engaged in offering “exotic” mortgage

products such as certain subprime, option ARM, and non-

documentation loans that were so popular in 2005 and 2006.

Accordingly, the delinquency in our combined residential

mortgage and home equity loan portfolios at December 31, 2007

remained at less than 1%. Further, we have no exposure in our

investment portfolio to securities backed by subprime mortgages.

Franklin Financial’s total assets at December 31, 2007 reached

$820,371,000, a 2.6% increase over 2006. Total deposits 

and repurchase agreements as measured at 

year-end were flat. Average core deposits 

(i.e., checking, savings, and interest bearing

checking) increased by 2.29%. Our Money

Management Account, which is indexed to

short-term interest rates, again recorded

exceptional growth with a net increase 

of  more than 900 accounts and a 40.7%

Bill Snell
President & CEO

increase in average balances. Overall, average deposits and repurchase agreements

increased by 16.3% during 2007.

Net loans grew by 8.2% to $564,256,000 at year-end 2007. Average loan outstandings

increased by 19.5% or $90,936,000. Our continued focus on commercial loan growth

resulted in $155,287,000 of  closed commercial loan transactions which increased 

the average outstanding balance in this portfolio by $68,193,000 or 25.7%. Average

consumer loan outstandings increased by 27.5% or $26,181,000 as a result of  two

effectively promoted home equity loan specials. Residential mortgage closings in

2007 declined 3.9% to $35,080,000 from $36,500,000 in 2006. Average residential

mortgage outstandings declined by $3,438,000 or 3.28%, as we continued to hold

fewer mortgage originations in our portfolio.

Net interest income increased by 21.6% on a tax equivalent basis to $27,374,000

from $22,509,000 in 2006, driven primarily by the growth in average interest earning

assets. Our net interest margin in 2007 increased to 3.67% from 3.45% on a tax

equivalent basis which was counter to the trend within our industry.

Our financial condition remains strong as evidenced by a Total Risk-Based Capital Ratio

of 12.28% and a Leverage Capital Ratio of 8.18%. These ratios remain above the

levels that federal regulators require for an institution to be considered “well capitalized”.

Franklin Financial’s safety and soundness indicators continue to reflect our

conservative posture and compare favorably to peers. In 2007, we increased our

provision for loan losses by $750,000 in response to both an increase in the ratio 

of  nonperforming assets/total assets to .73%, as well as exceptional loan growth in

order to maintain our Allowance for Loan Losses as a percentage of  both total loans

and total nonperforming loans at 1.29% and 127.86%. We have observed that many

of  our peers have permitted the Allowance for Loan Losses to fall below the 1.00% 

level or even further.

In last year’s Message to Shareholders, I commented that our mid-2006 merger with

Fulton Bancshares Corporation had impacted our nonperforming assets/total assets

ratio. I am pleased to report that this portfolio’s performance to date continues to

reinforce the initial determination of  our due diligence that many of  Fulton County

National Bank’s loan problems stemmed from improper loan structure as well as

ineffective ongoing credit risk management rather than unsound lending practices.

The majority of  these loans are well-collateralized, and we continue to receive 

regular payments and/or unscheduled principal reductions.

The market value of  assets under management by our Investment & Trust Services

Department declined by 5.6% to $507,920,000 at December 31, 2007 as compared 

to $538,152,000 at year-end 2006. As I noted in last year’s Shareholder Letter, our

2006 total included a $41,000,000 short-term deposit into a custody account during

December of  which $30,000,000 was paid out prior to year-end 2007. Additionally, two

large estates were distributed during the year. Assets under management as reported

does not include approximately $83,000,000 in assets held at third-party brokers at

December 31, 2007. Fee income, including revenue generated through the Personal

Investment Centers, increased by $816,000 or 24.6% during 2007, including $617,000

of  nonrecurring fee income relating to the two estates distributed during the year.

Revenues and profitability at Bankers Settlement Services – Capital Region, LLC, 

a bank-owned title insurance agency based in Harrisburg and affiliated with Investors

Title Insurance Company, increased by 6% and 53% respectively. An ongoing initiative

to recruit new members in order to increase volume resulted in two additional banks

commencing production in 2007. Mortgages originated by F&M Trust and insured by

Bankers Settlement Services accounted for approximately 14% of  the agency’s total

net premium revenue in 2007. The lending officers of  F&M Trust achieved an overall

penetration rate of  57% on residential mortgages closed. 

Our investment in BankersRe Insurance Group, SPC (formerly Pennbanks Insurance

Company, SPC), a captive insurance company owned by nine Pennsylvania

9

community banks, generated dividends and fee income of  approximately $115,000

during 2007. Our ownership enables Franklin Financial to participate in premium

revenues on higher loan-to-value mortgage originations requiring private mortgage

insurance (PMI) as well as fee income derived from Debt Protection Coverage on 

non-revolving consumer loans. Debt Protection is a program that extinguishes all 

or part of  the debt in the event of  death, disability, or involuntary unemployment for 

a maximum of  ten years. As of  year-end 2007, our portfolio of  insured residential

mortgage loans with PMI in force exceeded $22,500,000 while our portfolio of

consumer loans with “protected balances” exceeded $11,500,000.

Mortgage closings at American Home Bank, N.A. and its affiliates (AHB) increased

6.7% from $698,000,000 in 2006 to $745,000,000 in 2007. AHB recorded net income

of  $68,000 compared to a loss of  $245,000 in 2006. Franklin Financial accounts 

for its investment in American Home Bank on the equity method of  accounting.

Accordingly, approximately 21% of  AHB’s net income, which corresponds with

Franklin Financial’s ownership position, is reported as non-interest income. 

American Home Bank’s lending philosophy is similar to ours … AHB has never

engaged in offering “exotic” mortgage products. Accordingly, delinquency at 

December 31, 2007 was less than 3%.

A number of  products and services providing added convenience to our customers

and prospective customers will be introduced during 2008. During the first quarter, 

we converted to “paperless” (book entry) certificates of  deposit which will streamline

processing, simplify the renewal process, and provide better documentation.

Customers receive a paper receipt, but will no longer need to present the original

document or visit the same office in order to redeem their certificate. Customers also

gain the ability to add funds during the “grace period” without rewriting the certificate.

We also provided customers with online access to check images, including the ability

to view both checks paid and deposit tickets, as well as the capability to complete 

an application to open a deposit account online.

Chambersburg Area Development Corporation

When a Louisiana-based company purchased Hirschmann

Automation and Control (HAC) in Chambersburg, they

determined the company needed a larger workforce and

additional workspace. Dave Sciamanna (left), Executive 

Director of  the Chambersburg Area Development Corporation

(CADC) asked Ken Brookens (right), AVP/Commercial

Ser vices, at F&M Trust to help. Ken prepared the best

financing package to fit CADC and HAC’s needs. The new

facility not only meets the company’s immediate needs, 

but is flexible enough to allow for future growth.

Moe’s Southwest Grill – Chambersburg, PA

Having worked for a global pizza franchise for 

twelve years, and then leading his own construction

company for another fifteen, Troy King (right)

decided he was ready for more. With guidance 

and financing from Phil Pantano (left), Commercial

Ser vices Relationship Manager with F&M Trust, 

Troy and his brother opened a Moe’s Southwest Grill

franchise in Chambersburg in September 2007. 

It has become a favorite destination for families 

and spor ts teams around Franklin County. In fact, 

Phil is already helping Troy open his second Moe’s

location (in Maryland) by July 2008. At this pace,

don’t be surprised to hear of  a third one soon, too!

12

During the fourth quarter, we entered into a brokerage agreement with American 

Home Bank, N.A. in order to broaden our fixed-rate residential mortgage product

offerings and enhance the competitiveness of  our pricing. We are encouraged 

with the volume of  mortgage originations in the early months of  2008. Later this 

year, we also anticipate adding the capability of  accepting residential mortgage

applications online. 

Our small business initiative continues to gain momentum. In December, we

announced a partnership between F&M Trust and the Small Business Development

Centers at Shippensburg University and St. Francis University

to present educational programs and workshops for aspiring,

as well as existing, small business owners throughout our

marketplace. The eighteen Small Business Development

Centers in Pennsylvania are supported with funding and 

other resources from the Commonwealth of  Pennsylvania’s

Department of  Community & Economic Development and the

U.S. Small Business Administration. Small business owners

who receive low-cost assistance from a Small Business

Development Center (SBDC) survive and grow, on average, 

at rates far greater than small business owners who do not.

Under the terms of  our partnership agreements, F&M Trust

will be the exclusive sponsor of  “First Step” and “Business

Planning” workshops to be conducted by the SBDCs at

Shippensburg University and St. Francis University during

2008, plus other seminars on special topics. F&M Trust’s

Small Business Relationship Managers will participate in 

each workshop, presenting a segment focused on financing

options. The Shippensburg University SBDC will conduct

eighteen “First Step” and “Business Planning” workshops in

After years of  styling hair as an employee, 

Tessie Guyer decided that it was time to strike out 

and start her own business. By attending seminars

conducted by the Small Business Development Center 

at Shippensburg University and working with F&M Trust’s

Small Business Relationship Managers, she made all the 

proper plans, smartly avoiding common start-up pitfalls. 

The Touch Of Paradise Salon & Spa recently opened 

to realize a great early success.

13

Franklin and Cumberland Counties while the St. Francis University SBDC will conduct

six of  these workshops in Fulton and Huntingdon Counties. We believe that this

initiative to provide entrepreneurs with education, information, and tools to build and

sustain successful businesses will directly benefit our local economy while providing

F&M Trust with an opportunity to increase our penetration of the small business market. 

In January of  2008, F&M Trust was approved as a

designated lender for the loan guaranty programs offered 

by the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA). These

programs will assist us in supporting existing or start-up

businesses in the early stages of  their development. Lines 

of  credit and term loans are available to small businesses

meeting the eligibility requirements for an SBA guaranty 

for the purchase of  real estate or machinery and equipment 

as well as for working capital.

We also introduced two enhancements to Better Business

Checking, a package account targeted at small businesses:

Overdraft Protection, which utilizes an automated transfer

from a line of  credit; and Better Business Checking Payroll, 

a no- minimum-balance account that can be linked to sweep

from the customer’s primary Better Business Checking

account as payroll checks are presented. Remote Deposit

Capture, to be rolled out later this year, will save businesses

of  all sizes both time and money. Customers will be able to

scan their checks and transmit them to a secure website. 

The items are then processed and automatically credited 

to the business’s bank account, eliminating the need to 

travel to the bank to make the deposit. 

When the Kelso Cornelius Funeral Home was ready 

to upgrade exterior lighting and improve the entrance 

at their McConnellsburg location, Brett Cornelius (left),

Funeral Director, walked down the street to talk with 

Don Trego (right), AVP/Small Business Relationship

Manager, about financing for the planned improvements.

It was important to Brett that, as a community-based

business, he worked with a local bank that works hard 

to support businesses like his.

Mains Dairy – Newville, PA

When Dan Mains (left), a dairy farm owner, wanted 

to buy a neighboring proper ty to expand his 850-cow

dairy operation, Brian Weikert (right), VP/Commercial

Ser vices at F&M Trust, was able to help make the deal

happen in less than a month. As a businessowner, 

Dan really appreciates the personal assistance he gets

from F&M Trust as well as smar t financial products, like

the Sweep Account, that makes his money work better.

Joe & Nina Yuhas – Mont Alto, PA

After 35 years of  teaching in the Washington, DC area,

Joe and Nina Yuhas (left, center) decided to retire 

to southern Franklin County. They came to F&M Trust 

for a new home construction loan and were so pleased

with the ser vice and assistance they received from

Renee Preso (right), AVP/Manager, and the entire 

Mont Alto office, they moved all of  their financial

accounts to F&M Trust.

During April, our twenty-fourth community office opened at Carlisle Crossing, 

between York and Trindle Roads in Cumberland County. This shopping center, which

opened in 2006, includes several “draws” such as Target, Kohl’s, Pier One, PetSmart,

Starbucks, Old Navy and Red Robin. We also constructed a new community office 

to replace our existing facility at Marion, which “reopened” in September. New ATM’s

were opened at the Penn National Golf  Course Clubhouse and the Carlisle Central

Farmers Market.

An additional investment to expand and upgrade 

our community office network is planned during 2008. 

Another ATM will be opened at Northgate Commons 

on the Northfield Campus of  Menno Haven during 

the first quarter. Extensive renovations to expand 

the lobby and reconfigure the drive-up at our Orchard 

Park Community Office are planned for the second 

quarter. Our twenty-fifth community office at the corner

Brian Wise (right) has been banking with F&M Trust 

for most of his life. The people who help him aren’t 

just bank employees, they’re his friends and neighbors. 

So it was only natural when it was time to begin planning

for his retirement he contacted Denny Wilson (left),

Investment and Trust Services Officer. F&M Trust also 

has the asset management experience Brian prefers –

the investment and trust experts manage more than 

$500 million in total assets.

Total Return Performance Graph

The Securities and Exchange Commission requires that 
a publicly held company include in its Annual Report a 
stock performance graph comparing its five-year cumulative
total return to shareholders with the returns generated by 
an industry-specific index (or peer group index) and with 
the return generated by a broad market index.

The following graph compares the cumulative total return 
to shareholders of Franklin Financial with the NASDAQ – 
Total U.S. Index (a broad market index prepared by the Center
for Research in Security Prices at the University of Chicago
Graduate School of Business) and with the Northeast OTC-BB
and Pink Banks Index (an industry-specific index prepared by
SNL Financial LC) for the five year period ended December 31,
2007, in each case assuming an initial investment of $100 on
December 31, 2002 and the reinvestment of all dividends.
