NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
(1) Basis of Presentation
In the opinion of management, the financial information reflects all
adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial
information as of June 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999 and for the three
and six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles in the United States. These interim
financial statements should be read in conjunction with Progress
Financial Corporation's (the "Company") Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 1999. Operating results for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results
that may be expected for any other interim period or the entire year
ending December 31, 2000. Earnings per share have been adjusted to
reflect all stock dividends and prior period amounts have been
reclassified when necessary to conform with current period
classification. The Company's principal subsidiaries are Progress Bank
(the "Bank"), Progress Capital, Inc., Progress Development Corp.,
Progress Capital Management, Inc. and Progress Financial Resources, Inc.
All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated.
(2) Discontinued Operations
During the second quarter of 2000, the Company decided to sell its
teleservicing assets to move toward focusing on its core financial
services competencies. Prior period information has been restated for the
discontinuance of this operation.
On May 19, 2000, the Company sold the assets of Procall Teleservices,
Inc., its business-to-business teleservices subsidiary. The Company
recognized a gain on this sale of $2.5 million pretax, $1.5 million net
of tax of $1.0 million, or diluted earnings per share of $.26, during the
second quarter of 2000. Income from discontinued teleservices operations
for the three months ended June 30,2000 amounted to $103,000 pre-tax
($61,000,net of taxes of $42,000) compared to $329,000 pre-tax($194,000,
net of taxes of $135,000)for the three months ended June 30, 1999.
Income from discontinued teleservices operations for the six months ended
June 30, 2000 amounted to $194,000 pre-tax($114,000,net of taxes of
$80,000)compared to $341,000 pre-tax ($200,000, net of taxes of $141,000)
for the six months ended June 30, 1999.
(3) Subsequent Events
In July 2000, the Company issued 6,000 shares, or $6.0 million, of
11.445% trust preferred securities, $1,000 liquidation amount per
security, due July 19, 2030 (the "Trust Preferred Securities"), in a
private offering managed by First Union Securities, Inc. The Trust
Preferred Securities represent undivided beneficial interests in Progress
Capital Trust II, a statutory business trust created under the laws of
Delaware (the "Trust II"), which was established by the Company for the
purpose of issuing the Trust Preferred Securities. The Company has fully,
irrevocably and unconditionally guaranteed all of the Trust II's
obligations under the Trust Preferred Securities. Net proceeds from the
sale of the securities will be used for general purposes, including but
not limited to, capital contributions to the Bank to fund its growth and
for repurchases of the Company's common stock under its existing stock
repurchase program.
(4) New Developments
On June 1, 2000, M-Corp., a corporation on which the Company held
warrants, was acquired by Ramesys Holdings Limited ("Ramesys"). The
warrants were obtained through the Company's Specialized Lending
Division, which provides customized financial services to leading edge
companies in technology, health care and insurance. The Company received
a cash distribution and a convertible note from Ramesys; a total value of
approximately $61,000 was recorded in client warrant income.
On March 22, 2000, EMAX Solutions Partners, Inc., ("EMAX"), a corporation
on which the Company held warrants, obtained through the Company's
Specialized Lending Division, announced that it was acquired by
SciQuest.com ("SQST"). The Company held warrants to purchase 15,600
common shares of EMAX at an average exercise price of $4.82 per share. In
accordance with the terms of the acquisition, the Company's warrants
could be exchanged into 7,598 warrants to purchase common shares of SQST
at an average exercise price of $2.35. During the second quarter of 2000
the Company sold its warrants on EMAX back to the company. Client warrant
income of $163,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2000, $340,000 for
the six months ended June 30, 2000, was recognized on these warrants.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (Continued)
In January 2000, the Company acquired KMR Management, Inc. ("KMR"); a
Pennsylvania based corporation which provides financial and operational
management consulting services for commercial clients. The acquisition
was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. The purchase
price was $1.0 million, which included the issuance of 60,000 treasury
shares. Goodwill of $1.0 million was created in the transaction, which
will be amortized over a ten-year period.

Capital Resources
Under the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991
specific capital categories were defined based on an institution's
capital ratios. To be considered "well capitalized," an institution must
generally have a tangible equity ratio of at least 2%, a Tier 1 or
leverage ratio of at least 5%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of at
least 6% and a total risk-based capital ratio of at least 10%.

SUMMARY
The Company recorded net income of $2.6 million, or diluted earnings per share
of $.45, for the three months ended June 30, 2000 compared to $1.1 million, or
$.19, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 1999. Income from
continuing operations amounted to $1.0 million, or diluted earnings per share of
$.18, for the three months ended June 30, 2000 compared to $936,000 or $.16,
respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 1999. During the second
quarter of 2000 the Company sold the assets of Procall Teleservice, Inc., its
teleservices operations resulting in a gain of $2.5 million pretax, $1.5 million
net of tax or diluted earnings per share of $.26. Return on average
shareholders' equity was 22.69% and return on average assets was 1.27% for the
three months ended June 30, 2000 compared to 10.60% and .68%, respectively, for
the three months ended June 30, 1999.
The Company recorded net income of $4.1 million, or diluted earnings per share
of $.72, for the six months ended June 30, 2000 compared to $2.5 million, or
$.42, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 1999. Income from
continuing operations amounted to $2.5 million, or diluted earnings per share of
$.44, for the six months ended June 30, 2000 compared to $2.3 million or $.39,
respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 1999. During the second quarter
of 2000 the Company sold the assets of its teleservices operations resulting in
a gain of $2.5 million pretax, $1.5 million net of tax or diluted earnings per
share of $.26. Return on average shareholders' equity was 17.60% and return on
average assets was 1.04% for the six months ended June 30, 2000 compared to
11.72% and .75%, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 1999.
Net interest income increased to $7.9 million from $6.6 million, and the net
interest margin decreased slightly to 4.25% from 4.29%, comparing the three
months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999. Despite numerous rate increases by the
Federal Reserve, the Company has sufficiently managed its increasing cost of
funds by deploying capital into higher yielding investments and variable rate
loans which resulted in a $1.4 million increase in tax equivalent net interest
income.
Net interest income increased to $15.5 million from $12.8 million, and the net
interest margin increased slightly to 4.26% from 4.21%, comparing the six months
ended June 30, 2000 and 1999. The Company has effectively managed its increasing
cost of funds by deploying capital into higher yielding investments and variable
rate loans which resulted in a $2.8 million increase in tax equivalent net
interest income.
Non-interest income increased $664,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2000
compared to the same period in 1999 primarily due to a $1.6 million increase in
fee income of which: $565,000 was generated by the Company's subsidiary Progress
Capital Management, Inc. ("PCM"), which manages the mezzanine debt and venture
capital funds; $432,000 from bank-related fees; and $386,000 from mutual fund,
annuity and insurance commissions. Client warrant income increased $503,000 due
to the expiration of restrictions on client warrants. These gains were partially
offset by net decrease of $1.1 million in the equity of unconsolidated
subsidiaries primarily due to unrealized losses in the mezzanine and venture
capital funds during the second quarter. These losses represent a partial
reversal of unrealized gains reported in the fourth quarter of 1999.
Non-interest expense increased by $1.9 million primarily due to growth in the
Company's financial services operations.
Non-interest income increased $3.0 million for the six months ended June 30,
2000 compared to the same period in 1999 primarily due to a $3.1 million
increase in client warrant income which was recorded due to the expiration of
restrictions on client warrants and a $2.3 million increase in fee income of
which: $774,000 was generated by the Company's subsidiary PCM, which manages the
mezzanine debt and venture capital funds; $785,000 from mutual fund, annuity and
insurance commissions; and $537,000 from bank-related fees. Those gains were
partially offset by net unrealized losses in the mezzanine and venture capital
funds resulting in a net decrease of $2.1 million in the equity in
unconsolidated subsidiaries. These losses represent a partial reversal of
unrealized gains reported in the fourth quarter of 1999. These increases were
offset by a $568,000 increase in the provision for loan and lease losses,
primarily due to a commercial loan charge-off during the first quarter of 2000,
a more aggressive leasing charge-off policy, which was implemented in the second
quarter of 1999, and loan and lease growth. Non-interest expense increased $4.9
million primarily due to growth in the Company's financial services operations.
Total assets increased to $839.3 million at June 30, 2000 from $768.9 million at
December 31, 1999 primarily due to loan growth of $38.2 million and an increase
in mortgage-backed securities of $33.9 million. Total deposits increased to
$570.3 million at June 30, 2000 from $521.4 million at December 31, 1999.
Deposit growth was primarily the result of new commercial business customer
relationships and retail branch expansion.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Liquidity and Funding
The Company must maintain sufficient liquidity to meet its funding requirements
for loan and lease commitments, scheduled debt repayments, operating expenses,
and deposit withdrawals. The Bank is the primary source of working capital for
the Company. At June 30, 2000, the Bank met all regulatory capital liquidity
requirements. Regulations currently in effect require the Bank to maintain
liquid assets of not less than 4% of its net withdrawable accounts plus
short-term borrowings. At June 30, 2000, the Bank's liquidity ratio of 10.13%
was in excess of the current minimum requirement.
The Company's need for liquidity is affected by loan demand and net changes in
retail deposit levels. The Company can minimize the cash required during the
times of heavy loan demand by modifying its credit policies or reducing its
marketing efforts. Liquidity demand caused by net reductions in retail deposits
are usually caused by factors over which the Company has limited control. The
Company derives its liquidity from both its assets and liabilities. Liquidity is
derived from assets by receipt of interest and principal payments and
prepayments, by the ability to sell assets at market prices and by utilizing
unpledged assets as collateral for borrowings. Liquidity is derived from
liabilities by maintaining a variety of funding sources, including retail
deposits, FHLB borrowings and securities sold under agreement to repurchase.
The Company's primary sources of funds have historically consisted of deposits,
amortization and prepayments of outstanding loans, FHLB borrowings and
securities sold under agreement to repurchase and sales of investment and
mortgage-backed securities. During the six months ended June 30, 2000, the
Company used its capital resources primarily to meet its ongoing commitments to
fund maturing savings certificates and deposit withdrawals, fund existing and
continuing loan commitments, and maintain its liquidity. For the six months
ended June 30, 2000, cash was provided by operating activities. Cash was used in
investing activities primarily due to net origination of loans and purchases of
mortgage-backed securities. Cash was provided by financing activities, primarily
due to net increases in demand deposits and issuance of long-term borrowings.

Non-performing assets increased to $9.7 million at June 30, 2000 from $5.8
million at December 31, 1999, and from $4.8 million at June 30, 1999. The
increase in non-performing assets since December 31, 1999 was primarily related
to $5.7 million in residential real estate development projects, classified as
other real estate owned, acquired by the Company through deeds in lieu of
foreclosure as a result of defaulted loans. The $4.0 million of non-accrual
loans at June 30, 2000 consisted of $988,000 of lease financing, $1.1 million of
loans secured by single family residential property, $1.0 million of commercial
business loans, $568,000 of commercial mortgages and $379,000 in consumer loans.
Accruing loans 90 or more days past due increased from $2.3 million at December
31, 1999 to $3.0 million at June 30, 2000. This increase was primarily due to an
increase in accruing 90-day-or-more delinquent commercial business loans. The
$3.0 million of accruing loans 90 or more days past due at June 30, 2000
consisted of $1.6 million of commercial mortgages, $1.4 million of commercial
business loans, and $59,000 in lease financing.

net interest margin increased slightly to 4.26% from 4.21%, comparing the six
months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999. The Company has effectively managed its
increasing cost of funds by deploying capital into higher yielding investments
and variable rate loans. Average loans and leases increased $91.3 million and
investment securities increased $32.1 million comparing the six months ended
June 30, 2000 to the same period in 1999. The Company's cost of funds increased

and the positive effect of net interest-free funding sources increased 4 basis
points in comparison with the six months ended June 30, 1999.
Provision for Loan and Lease Losses
During the three months ended June 30, 2000, the Company recorded a $1.2 million
provision for loan and lease losses; a slight decrease compared with the same
period in 1999. The provision was the result of loan and lease growth compared
to the second quarter of 1999 when a more aggressive charge-off policy was
implemented for the lease portfolio and a significant provision was made for
deterioration within the lease portfolio.
During the six months ended June 30, 2000, the Company recorded a $2.2 million
provision for loan and lease losses compared with $1.7 million for the
comparable period in 1999. The increase of $568,000 was the result of a large
commercial business loan liquidation and partial charge-off during the first
quarter of 2000, loan and lease growth, and a more aggressive charge-off policy
implemented in the second quarter of 1999 for the lease portfolio.
At June 30, 2000, the allowance for possible loan and lease losses amounted to
$6.5 million or 1.20% of total loans and leases and 162.08% of total
non-performing loans and leases. At December 31, 1999, the allowance for
possible loan and lease losses amounted to $5.9 million or 1.18% of total loans
and leases and 103.96% of total non-performing loans and leases.
Non-interest Income
Non-interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2000 amounted to $3.9
million, compared to $3.3 million for the same period in 1999. The Company
recognized $985,000 of client warrant income during the 2000 period primarily
due to the expiration of restrictions on the sale of warrants to acquire common
stock of Internet Capital Group. Management fees increased $565,000, which were
primarily generated by the Company's subsidiary PCM, which manages the mezzanine
debt and venture capital funds. Mutual fund, annuity and insurance commissions
increased $386,000 over the three months ended June 30, 1999. Service charges on
deposits increased $166,000 over the three months ended June 30, 1999. Other
Bank related fees increased $266,000 over the three months ended June 30, 1999.
These gains were partially offset by a net decrease of $1.1 million in the
equity of unconsolidated subsidiaries primarily due to unrealized losses in the
mezzanine and venture capital funds during the second quarter. These losses
represent a partial reversal of unrealized gains reported in the fourth quarter
of 1999.
Non-interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2000 amounted to $8.8
million, compared to $5.8 million for the same period in 1999. The Company
recognized $3.6 million of client warrant income during the 2000 period due to
the expiration of restrictions on the sale of warrants to acquire common stock
of Internet Capital Group, US Interactive, Inc., RAVISENT Technologies, Inc. and
EMAX Solutions Partners, Inc. Management fees increased $774,000, which were
primarily generated by the Company's subsidiary PCM, which manages the mezzanine
debt and venture capital funds. Mutual fund, annuity and insurance commissions
increased $785,000 over the six months ended June 30, 1999. Service charges on
deposits increased $288,000 over the six months ended June 30, 1999. Other Bank
related fees increased $249,000 over the six months ended June 30, 1999. These
gains were partially offset by a net decrease of $2.1 million in the equity of
unconsolidated subsidiaries primarily due to unrealized losses in the mezzanine
and venture capital funds during the six months ended June 30 2000. These losses
represent a partial reversal of unrealized gains reported in the fourth quarter
of 1999.
Non-interest Expense
Total non-interest expense was $9.1 million for the three months ended June 30,
2000 compared to $7.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 1999. The
increase in non-interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2000 over
the comparable period in 1999 was primarily due to increases in salaries and
employee benefits of $1.2 million as a result of additional employees to staff
four new bank branches, the recent acquisition of KMR Management, Inc. ("KMR"),
the staffing of PCM and from other new positions established within the Company.
Occupancy and furniture, fixtures and equipment expenses increased $388,000
mainly due to a new operations center, bringing data processing in-house and new
branch openings. Professional services expense increased $127,000 primarily due
to consulting costs associated with the business generated by the Company's
subsidiaries PCM, which manages the mezzanine debt and venture capital funds,
and KMR, which provides financial and operational management consulting services
for the Company's commercial clients. The $197,000 increase in other
non-interest expense included nonrecurring system conversion related expenses of
approximately $119,000.
Total non-interest expense was $18.3 million for the six months ended June 30,
2000 compared to $13.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999. The
increase in non-interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2000 over the
comparable period in 1999 was primarily due to increases in salaries and
employee benefits of $2.7 million as a result of additional employees to staff
new bank branches, the recent acquisition of KMR, the staffing of PCM and from
other new positions established within the Company. Occupancy and furniture,
fixtures and equipment expenses increased $876,000 mainly due to a new
operations center, bringing data processing in-house
and new branch openings.Professional services expense increased $376,000
primarily due to consulting costs associated with the business generated by the
Company's subsidiaries PCM and KMR; and legal costs associated with aggressive
collection efforts on charged-off loans and leases. The $742,000 increase in
other non-interest expense included nonrecurring system conversion related
expenses of approximately $243,000. The Company also experienced increases in
loan expense, advertising and state franchise taxes as it expanded its
non-banking businesses, and opened four new bank branches and a new operations
center since June 30, 1999.
