      upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and common
      share equivalents that would arise from the exercise of dilutive
      securities. All dilutive shares consist of options the exercise price of
      which is lower than the market price of the common stock covered thereby
      at the dates presented.

      The calculated basic and diluted earnings per share ("EPS") is as follows:

7.    RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

      In April 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
      of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 149, "Amendment of
      Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS No.
      149 amends and clarifies accounting for derivative instruments and hedging
      activities under Statement 133. In addition, this Statement clarifies
      under what circumstances a contract with an initial net investment meets
      the characteristic of a derivative and when a derivative contains a
      financing component that warrants special reporting in the statement of
      cash flows. This statement is effective for contracts entered into or
      modified after June 30, 2003. The Company does not anticipate that this
      statement will have a material impact on the Company

      In January 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 ("FIN 46"),
      "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities.". This interpretation of
      Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, "Consolidated Financial Statements",
      addresses consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest
      entities with certain characteristics. FIN 46 is effective immediately for
      all enterprises with variable interests in variable interest entities
      created after January 31, 2003 and is effective beginning with the
      September 30, 2003 quarterly financial statements for all variable
      interests in a variable interest entity created before February 1, 2003.
      The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of FIN 46 will have a
      material impact on the Company's financial condition or results of
      operations.

8.    STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

      The Company applies APB Opinion No. 25 in accounting for stock options
      and, accordingly, no compensation expense has been recognized in the
      financial statements. Had the Company determined compensation expense
      based on the fair value at the grant date for its stock option in
      accordance with the fair value method in SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for
      Stock-Based Compensation," the Company's net income and earnings per share
      would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated below.

ITEM 2.     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
            RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

In addition to historical information, this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
includes certain "forward-looking statements" based on management's current
expectations. The Company's actual results could differ materially from
management's expectations. Such forward-looking statements include statements
regarding management's current intentions, beliefs or expectations as well as
the assumptions on which such statements are based. These forward-looking
statements are subject to significant business, economic and competitive
uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are not subject to the Company's
control. Stockholders and potential stockholders are cautioned that any such
forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve
risks and uncertainties, and that actual results may differ materially from
those contemplated by such forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause
future results to vary from current management expectations include, but are not
limited to, general economic conditions, legislative and regulatory changes,
monetary and fiscal policies of the federal government, changes in tax policies,
rates and regulations of federal, state and local tax authorities, changes in
interest rates, deposit flows, the cost of funds, demand for loan products,
demand for financial services, competition, changes in the quality or
composition of the Company's loan and investment portfolios, changes in
accounting principles, policies or guidelines, availability and cost of energy
resources and other economic, competitive, governmental and technological
factors affecting the Company's operations, markets, products, services and
fees.

The Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking
statements to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated
events or changes to future operating results that occur subsequent to the date
such forward-looking statements are made.

COMPARISON OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AT MARCH 31, 2003 AND SEPTEMBER 30, 2002

Total assets of the Company increased $24.3 million, or 4.7%, from $518.3
million at September 30, 2002 to $542.7 million at March 31, 2003. The growth
was due primarily to increases in mortgage-related securities available for sale
of $36.6 million, or 42.7%, partially offset by decreases in cash and cash
equivalents of $6.6 million, or 26.6%, investment securities available for sale
of $6.1 million, or 7.6%, and mortgage-related securities held to maturity of
$4.0 million, or 44.8%. The asset growth was funded by increased deposits, and
to a lesser extent, the use of Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") advances.

Deposits increased $15.5 million, or 4.7%, from $330.8 million at September 30,
2002 to $346.3 million at March 31, 2003. The increase resulted from increases
of $12.2 million, or 7.9%, in core deposits (which consist of passbook, money
market, NOW and non-interest bearing accounts) reflecting the Company's emphasis
on commercial business accounts and the continued uncertain climate in the
equities market. FHLB advances increased $11.3 million, or 8.9%, to fund asset
growth with short-term borrowings.

Stockholders' equity decreased $234,000 to $32.6 million primarily due to
decreases in the cost of the repurchasing of 53,994 shares of common stock, the
accumulated other comprehensive income of $654,000 and dividends paid of
$400,000 partially offset by net income of $1.5 million.

COMPARISON OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31,
2003 AND 2002

NET INCOME.

Net income was $693,000, or $.34 per diluted share, for the three months ended
March 31, 2003 as compared to $684,000, or $.34 per diluted share, for the same
period in 2002. The $9,000, or 1.3%, increase in net income for the three months
ended March 31, 2003 was due to a $78,000, or 2.5%, increase in net interest
income after provision for loan losses and a $90,000, or 20%, in non-interest
income partially offset by a $153,000, or 5.6% increase in non-interest expense.

Net income for the six months ended March 31, 2003 was $1.5 million, or $.73 per
diluted share, as compared to $1.3 million, or $.66 per diluted share, for the
same period in 2002. The $136,000, or 10.2%, increase in net income for the six
months ended March 31, 2003 was primarily due to a $408,000, or 6.7%, increase
in net interest income after provision for loan losses and a $248,000, or 27.3%,
increase in non-interest income partially offset by a $410,000, or 7.6%,
increase in non-interest expense and a $110,000, or 42.8%, increase in income
tax expense.

NET INTEREST INCOME.

Net interest income increased $138,000, or 4.2%, to $3.4 million and $528,000,
or 8.3%, to $6.9 million for the three and six months ended March 31, 2003,
respectively. Such increases were primarily due to $581,000, or 14.0%, and $1.5
million, or 17.2%, decreases in interest expense for the three and six months
ended March 31, 2003, respectively, which were partially offset by $453,000, or
6.0%, and $978,000, or 6.4%, decreases in interest income, on a tax-equivalent
basis, during such periods. The average balance of interest-earning assets
increased $25.3 million and $19.5 million for the three and six months ended
March 31, 2003, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2002.
Calculated on a fully taxable equivalent basis, the weighted average yield
earned on interest-earning assets for the three months ended March 31, 2003
decreased 69 basis points to 5.69% compared to the 2002 period and 66 basis
points to 5.86% for the six months ended March 31, 2003. In addition, net
interest expense was affected by an increase in the average balance of
interest-bearing liabilities of $23.3 million and $18.5 million for the three
and six months ended March 31, 2003, respectively, as compared to the same
periods in 2002. For the three months ended March 31, 2003, the weighted
average rate paid on such liabilities decreased 68 basis points to 3.07% from
3.75% for the same period in the prior fiscal year and 81 basis points to 3.15%
for the six months ended March 31, 2003 as compared to 3.96% for the six months
ended March 31, 2002. Due to the low interest rate environment existing
throughout 2002 and continuing in the first quarter of calendar 2003, the rates
paid on interest-bearing liabilities, consisting of deposits and borrowings,
adjusted at a faster pace than the Company's interest-earning assets,
consisting primarily of loans and investment securities. The interest rate
spread, on a fully tax equivalent basis, remained at 2.62% while the interest
rate margin decreased to 2.81% for the three months ended March 31, 2003 as
compared to 2.86% for the same period in 2002. The interest rate spread and net
interest margin, on a fully tax equivalent basis, were 2.71% and 2.90%,
respectively, for the six months ended March 31, 2003 as compared to 2.55% and
2.79%, respectively, for the same period in 2002. However, management
anticipates that the net interest spread and margin will compress as assets
continue to reprice downward with the continued historically low interest levels
without a corresponding decrease in rates paid.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES.

Provisions for loan losses are charged to earnings to maintain the total
allowance for loan losses at a level believed by management to cover all known
and inherent losses in the loan portfolio which are both probable and reasonably
estimable. Management's analysis includes consideration of the Company's
historical experience, the volume and type of lending conducted by the Company,
the amount of the Company's classified assets, the status of past due principal
and interest payments, general economic conditions, particularly as they relate
to the amount of the Company's primary market area, and other factors related to
the collectibility of the Company's loan and loans held for sale portfolios. The
Company's provision for loan losses increased to $195,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 2003 as compared to $135,000 for the same period in 2002. For
the six months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 the provision for loan losses
amounted to $390,000 and $270,000, respectively. The increases in the 2003
periods were due, to a large part, to the three non-performing assets
aggregating $2.4 million as discussed below.


                                      -11-

At March 31, 2003, non-performing assets totaled $3.6 million or .67% of total
assets, a decrease of $1.8 million from September 30, 2002. The decrease in
non-performing assets was primarily due to a $1.3 million commercial real estate
loan returning to current status combined with a decrease in non-performing
residential loans and real estate owned. The Company's coverage ratio, which is
the ratio of the allowance for loan losses to non-performing assets, was 75.4%
and 43.8% at March 31, 2003 and September 30, 2002, respectively. Included in
non-performing assets are three commercial real estate loans totaling $2.4
million. The Bank owns a 25% participation interest totaling $1.9 million in two
loans which are secured by an 18-hole golf course and a golf house located in
Avondale, Pennsylvania. The golf facility is fully operational and continues to
generate revenues. However, in connection with the operations of the facility,
the Company has incurred its representative share of expenses totaling of
approximately $82,000 and $215,000 for the three and six months ended March 31,
2003. Management believes that the Company will continue to incur expenses in
the upcoming quarters in connection with the operation of the golf facility. The
other participating loan of $495,000, which represents a 25% participation
interest, is secured by a partially completed storage facility in Clifton
Heights, Pennsylvania. The lead lender on all three loans is in the process of
foreclosing on the loans. Based on recent appraisals and other factors,
management presently believes the Company has provided adequate reserves for
these properties. However, there can be no assurances that additions to such
reserves will not be necessary in future periods.

Management continues to review its loan portfolio to determine the extent, if
any, to which further additional loss provisions may be deemed necessary. There
can be no assurance that the allowance for losses will be adequate to cover
losses which may in fact be realized in the future and that additional
provisions for losses will not be required.

NON-INTEREST INCOME.

Non-interest income increased $90,000, or 20.0%, to $540,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 2003 as compared to the same period in 2002. The increase
for the three months ended March 31, 2003 was primarily due to a $72,000
increase in the gain on sale of loans resulting from the increase in the amount
of long term, fixed-rate single-family residential loans being originated for
sale into the secondary market. Such sales are being undertaken to reduce the
Bank's potential interest rate risk resulting from future increases in interest
rates. However, there can be no assurances the Company will continue to sell
loans at the current volume due to the possibility of interest rate increases
and a slowdown in the refinancing activity. In addition, the increase in
non-interest income was due to a $39,000 increase in the gain on sales of
mortgage-related securities partially offset by a $15,000, or 5.8%, decrease in
service charges and other fees compared to the same period in the prior year.
For the six months ended March 31, 2003, non-interest income increased $248,000,
or 27.3%, to $1.2 million as compared to the same period during the prior year.
Increases in income of $197,000 and $70,000 were recognized from the sales of
loans and investment securities and mortgage-related securities, respectively,
during the six months ended, March 31, 2003 as compared to the same period in
2002.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSE.

Non-interest expense increased $153,000, or 5.6%, during the three months ended
March 31, 2003 as compared to the same period in 2002. Increases of $134,000 and
$115,000 were incurred in compensation and employee benefits and other
non-interest expense, respectively, partially offset by a $105,000, or 41.3%,
decrease in professional fees due to a general reduction in legal fees. For the
six months ended March 31, 2003, non-interest expense increased $410,000, or
7.6%, primarily due to increases of $211,000 and $261,000 in compensation and
employee benefits and other non-interest expenses, respectively partially offset
by a $79,000, or 17.8%, decrease in professional fees due to a general reduction
in legal fees. The increase in salary and employee benefits reflected normal
merit increases, the hiring of additional personnel and higher employee benefit
costs. The increase in other non-interest expense was primarily due to expenses
related to the operation of the three non-performing commercial real estate
loans as previously discussed.

INCOME TAX EXPENSE.

Income tax expense increased $6,000 to $143,000 and $110,000 to $367,000 for the
three and six months ended March 31, 2003, respectively. The increases were the
result of increases in income before income taxes as compared to the same
periods in 2002 and the income recognized was being taxed at the full taxable
rate.


                                      -12-

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES.

The Company has identified the evaluation of the allowance for loan losses as a
critical accounting policy where amounts are sensitive to material variation.
This policy is significantly affected by management judgment and uncertainties
and there is a likelihood that materially different amounts would be reported
under different, but reasonably plausible, conditions or assumptions. Management
carefully monitors the credit quality of the loan portfolio and makes estimates
about the amount of credit losses that have been incurred at each financial
statement date. Management evaluates the fair value of collateral supporting the
impaired loans using independent appraisals and other measures of fair value.
This process involves subjective judgments and assumptions and is subject to
change based on factors that may be outside the control of the Company.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES.

The Company's liquidity, represented by cash and cash equivalents, is a product
of its operating, investing and financing activities. The Company's primary
sources of funds are deposits, amortization, prepayment and maturities of
outstanding loans and mortgage-related securities, sales of loans, maturities of
investment securities and other short-term investments, borrowing and funds
provided from operations. While scheduled payments from the amortization of
loans and mortgage-related securities and maturing investment securities and
short-term investments are relatively predictable sources of funds, deposit
flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates,
economic conditions and competition. In addition, the Company invests excess
funds in overnight deposits and other short-term interest-earning assets which
provide liquidity to meet lending requirements. The Company has been able to
generate sufficient cash through its deposits as well as borrowings to satisfy
its funding commitments. At March 31, 2003, the Company had short-term
borrowings (due within one year or currently callable by the FHLB) outstanding
of $112.2 million, all of which consisted of advances from the FHLB of
Pittsburgh.

Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term function of business
management. Excess liquidity is generally invested in short-term investments
such as overnight deposits. On a longer term basis, the Company maintains a
strategy of investing in various lending products, mortgage-related securities
and investment securities. The Company uses its sources of funds primarily to
meet its ongoing commitments, to fund maturing certificates of deposit and
savings withdrawals, fund loan commitments and maintain a portfolio of
mortgage-related and investment securities. At March 31, 2003, total approved
loan commitments outstanding amounted to $9.1 million, not including loans in
process. At the same date, commitments under unused lines of credit amounted to
$27.5 million. Certificates of deposit scheduled to mature in one year or less
at March 31, 2003 totaled $119.1 million. Based upon its historical experience,
management believes that a significant portion of maturing deposits will remain
with the Company.

As of March 31, 2003, the Bank had regulatory capital which was in excess of
applicable requirements. The Bank is required under applicable federal banking
regulations to maintain tangible capital equal to at least 1.5% of its adjusted
total assets, core capital equal to at least 4.0% of its adjusted total assets
and total capital to at least 8.0% of its risk-weighted assets. At March 31,
2003, the Bank had tangible capital and core capital equal to 8.0% of adjusted
total assets and total capital equal to 15.4% of risk-weighted assets.

IMPACT OF INFLATION AND CHANGING PRICES.

The Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company and related notes presented
herein have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles which requires the measurement of financial position and operating
results in terms of historical dollars, without considering changes in the
relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation.

Unlike most industrial companies, substantially all of the assets and
liabilities of a financial institution are monetary in nature. As a result,
interest rates have a more significant impact on a financial institution's
performance than the effects of general levels of inflation. Interest rates do
not necessarily move in the same direction or in the same magnitude as the price
of goods and services, since such prices are affected by inflation to a larger
extent than interest rates. In the current interest rate environment, liquidity
and the maturity structure of the Company's assets and liabilities are critical
to the maintenance of acceptable performance levels.

ITEM 3.     QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

For a discussion of the Company's asset and liability management policies, see
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operation" in the Company's Annual Report for the year ended September 30, 2002.

The Company utilizes reports prepared by the Office of Thrift Supervision
("OTS") to measure interest rate risk. Using data from the Bank's quarterly
thrift financial reports, the OTS models the net portfolio value ("NPV") of the
Bank over a variety of interest rate scenarios. The NPV is defined as the
present value of expected cash flows from existing assets less the present value
of expected cash flows from existing liabilities plus the present value of net
expected cash inflows from existing off-balance sheet contracts. The model
assumes instantaneous, parallel shifts in the U.S. Treasury Securities yield
curve of 100 to 300 basis points, either up or down, and in 100 basis point
increments.

The interest rate risk measures used by the OTS include an "Exposure Measure" or
"Post-Shock" NPV ratio and a "Sensitivity Measure." The "Post-Shock" NPV ratio
is the net present value as a percentage of assets over the various yield curve
shifts. A low "Post-Shock" NPV ratio indicates greater exposure to interest rate
risk and can result from a low initial NPV ratio or high sensitivity to changes
in interest rates. The "Sensitivity Measure" is the decline in the NPV ratio, in
basis points, caused by a 2% increase or decrease in rates, whichever produces a
larger decline. The following sets forth the Bank's NPV as of March 31, 2003.

scenario

As of March 31, 2003, the Company's NPV was $42.0 million or 7.57% of the market
value of assets. Following a 200 basis point increase in interest rates, the
Company's "post shock" NPV was $31.5 million or 5.92% of the market value of
assets. The change in the NPV ratio or the Company's sensitivity measure was
(1.66)%.

As of December 31, 2002, the Company's NPV was $42.5 million or 7.85% of the
market value of assets. Following a 200 basis point increase in interest rates,
the Company's "post shock" NPV was $35.7 million or 6.84% of the market value of
assets. The change in the NPV ratio or the Company's sensitivity measure was
(1.01)%.

ITEM 4.     CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

QUARTERLY EVALUATION OF THE COMPANY'S DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND INTERNAL CONTROLS.
Within the 90 days prior to the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the
Company evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of its
"disclosure controls and procedures" in accordance with the provisions of Rules
13a-14 and 13a-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act").
This evaluation ("Controls Evaluation") was done under the supervision and with
the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer ("CEO")
and Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"). Our CEO and CFO concluded as a result of
such Control Evaluation that our disclosure controls and procedures are
effective.

Disclosure controls and procedures are the Company's controls and other
procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed
by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is
recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified
in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include,
without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information
required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files under the
Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management,
including its CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding
required disclosure.

In accord with SEC requirements, the CEO and CFO note that, since the date of
the Controls Evaluation to the date of this Quarterly Report, there have been no
significant changes in internal controls or in other factors that could
significantly affect such internal controls, including any corrective actions
with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.
