1.    BASIS OF PRESENTATION

      The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
      prepared in accordance with instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they
      do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting
      principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete
      financial statements. However, such information reflects all adjustments
      (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the
      opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of results for the
      periods.

      The results of operations for the three and six month period ended March
      31, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for
      the fiscal year ending September 30, 2004 or any other period. The
      consolidated financial statements presented herein should be read in
      conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related
      notes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended

For all securities that are in an unrealized loss position for an extended
period of time, we perform an evaluation of the specific events attributable to
the market decline of the security. We consider the length of time and extent to
which the security's market value has been below cost as well as the general
market conditions, industry characteristics and the fundamental operating
results of the issuer to determine if the decline is due to changes in interest
rates, changes relating to a decline in credit quality of the issuer, or general
market conditions. We also consider as part of the evaluation our intent and
ability to hold the security until its market value has recovered to a level at
least equal to the amortized cost. Where we determine that a security's
unrealized loss is other than temporary, a realized loss is recognized in the
period in which the decline in value is determined to be other than temporary.

6.    EARNINGS PER SHARE

      Basic net income per share is based upon the weighted average number of
      common shares outstanding, while diluted net income per share is based
      upon the weighted average number of common share 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.    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.

8.    RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

      In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
      FIN No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities." In December
      2003, the FASB issued a revision of FIN 46 (FIN 46(R)). The Interpretation
      clarifies the application of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51,
      "Consolidated Financial Statements," to certain entities in which equity
      investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial
      interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to
      finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support
      from other parties. The Company has participated in the issue of trust
      preferred securities through trusts established for such purpose. These
      trusts are subject to the requirements of FIN No. 46 and FIN No. 46(R).
      Effective December 31, 2003, the Company adopted this statement requiring
      the Company to deconsolidate the trust preferred security trusts. The
      Company previously classified its trust preferred securities after total
      liabilities and before stockholders' equity on the Consolidated Statement
      of Financial Condition. Under the provisions of FIN No. 46 and FIN No.
      46(R), these securities were reclassified as borrowed funds effective
      December 31, 2003. Additionally, the related dividends were reclassified
      from non-interest expense and included in interest expense in the
      Consolidated Statement of Income. Reclassifications of prior period
      amounts were made to conform to this presentation. The adoption of FIN No.
      46 and FIN No. 46(R) did not have a material impact on the Company's
      financial statements. However, the effect of reclassifying dividends from
      non-interest expense decreased the Company's net interest margin for the
      second quarter of fiscal 2004 by approximately 17 basis points from 2.33%
      to 2.16%.

      In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, "Accounting for Certain
      Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and
      Equity." This statement requires that certain financial instruments, which
      previously could be designated as equity, now be classified as liabilities
      on the balance sheet. The adoption of SFAS No. 150 did not have a material
      impact on the Company's financial statements.

      In March 2004, the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force reached a consensus
      regarding EITF Issue No. 03-1, "The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary
      Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments." The consensus
      provides guidance for evaluating whether an investment is
      other-than-temporarily impaired. The EITF 03-1 guidance for determining
      other-than-temporary impairment will be effective beginning with the third
      quarter of 2004. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that EITF
      03-1 may have on its financial statements.

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, as defined
in the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, 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.

GENERAL

First Keystone Financial, Inc. is a Pennsylvania corporation and sole
shareholder of First Keystone Bank, a federally chartered stock savings bank
(the "Bank"), which converted to the stock form of organization in January 1995.
The Bank is a community oriented bank emphasizing customer service and
convenience. The Bank's primary business is attracting deposits from the general
public and using those funds together with other available sources of funds,
primarily borrowings, to originate loans. The Bank's management remains focused
on its long-term strategic plan to continue to shift its loan composition toward
commercial business, construction and home equity loans and lines of credit in
order to provide a higher yielding portfolio with generally shorter terms.

COMPARISON OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AT MARCH 31, 2004 AND SEPTEMBER 30, 2003

Total assets of the Company increased $11.2 million or 2.0% from $559.6 million
at September 30, 2003 to $570.8 million at March 31, 2004. Mortgage-related
securities held to maturity increased to $28.6 million from $3.5 million at
September 30, 2003 mainly due to the Company's strategy to reinvest the cash
flows from the loan and securities portfolio into the held to maturity portfolio
in order to minimize the effect of price volatility to the Company's financial
statements as interest rates increase. Loans receivable increased to $293.4
million from $286.4 million at September 30, 2003 reflecting the Company's
strategy of increasing its investment in higher yielding assets. The increase in
loans receivable was primarily the result of increases in multi-family and
commercial real estate loans and home equity loans and lines of credit partially
offset by a decline in single-family residential loans. Loans held for sale
decreased $4.0 million due to management's reevaluation of the Company's asset
liability position and decision to retain in its residential loan portfolio $4.2
million of the loans originally intended to be sold in the secondary market.

                                      -11-



Total liabilities increased $10.4 million or 2.0% from $527.2 million at
September 30, 2003 to $537.7 million at March 31, 2004 primarily due to
increases in borrowings partially offset by a decrease in deposits. Deposits
decreased $9.6 million or 2.7% from $362.6 million at September 30, 2003 to
$353.0 million at March 31, 2004. The decrease is attributable to a $10.1
million, or 5.7%, decline in certificates of deposits reflecting the Company's
strategy of conservatively pricing the Company certificate of deposits. At March
31, 2004, core deposits (which consist of passbook, money market, NOW and
non-interest bearing accounts) slightly increased to $184.6 million or 52.3% of
the Company's deposit portfolio from $184.1 million or 50.8% of total deposits
at September 30, 2003. Borrowings increased $17.0 million, or 12.5%, as a result
of advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank funding asset growth.

Stockholders' equity increased by $703,000, or 2.2 %, to $33.1 million due to
net income of $1.4 million and an increase in the accumulated other
comprehensive income partially offset by the cost of repurchasing 51,092 shares
of common stock and dividends paid of $419,000.

COMPARISON OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31,
2004 AND 2003

NET INCOME.

Net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 was $627,000, or $.32 per
diluted share, a decrease of $66,000, or 9.5%, as compared to net income of
$693,000, or $.34 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2003. Net
income for the six months ended March 31, 2004 was $1.4 million, or $.70 per
diluted share, a decrease of $105,000, or 7.1%, as compared to $1.5 million, or
$.73 per diluted share, for the same period in 2003.

NET INTEREST INCOME.

Net interest income decreased $209,000, or 7.0%, to $2.8 million and $393,000,
or 6.5%, to $5.7 million for the three and six months ended March 31, 2004,
respectively compared to the same periods in 2003. Such decreases were primarily
due to decreases in interest income of $534,000, or 7.7%, and $1.1 million, or
7.9%, for the three and six months ended March 31, 2004, respectively, which
were partially offset by a $325,000, or 8.1%, and a $722,000, or 8.9%, decrease
in interest expense during such periods. The average balance of interest-earning
assets increased $32.8 million and $35.8 million for the three and six months
ended March 31, 2004, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2003.
Calculated on a tax-equivalent basis, the weighted average yield earned on
interest-earning assets for the three months ended March 31, 2004 decreased 75
basis points to 4.93% compared to the 2003 period and 83 basis points to 5.03%
for the six months ended March 31, 2004. In addition, net interest expense was
affected by an increase in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities
of $35.1 million and $36.6 million for the three and six months ended March 31,
2004, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2003. For the three
months ended March 31, 2004, the weighted average rate paid on such liabilities
decreased 46 basis points to 2.81% from 3.27% for the same period in the prior
fiscal year and 51 basis points to 2.85% for the six months ended March 31, 2004
as compared to 3.36% for the six months ended March 31, 2003. The decline in net
interest income reflected the continued interest rate compression being
experienced by the Company as the weighted average yield on interest-earning
assets continues to decrease more rapidly than the cost of interest-bearing
liabilities

The following table presents the average balances for various categories of
assets and liabilities, and income and expense related to those assets and
liabilities for the three months and six months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003.
The adjustment of tax exempt securities to a tax equivalent yield in the table
below may be considered to include non-GAAP financial information. Management
believes that it is a standard practice in the banking industry to present net
interest margin, net interest rate spread and net interest income on a fully tax
equivalent basis when a significant proportion of interest-earning assets are
tax-free. Therefore, management believes, these measures provide useful
information to investors by allowing them to make peer comparisons. A GAAP
reconciliation is included below.

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 decreased to $75,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 2004 as compared to $195,000 for the same period in 2003. For
the six months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, the provision for loan losses
amounted to $150,000 and $390,000, respectively.

                                      -15-



At March 31, 2004, non-performing assets decreased slightly to $2.9 million, or
..51% to total assets, from $3.0 million at September 30, 2003. The coverage
ratio, which is the ratio of the allowance for loan losses to non-performing
assets, was 71.9% and 66.7% at March 31, 2004 and September 30, 2003,
respectively. Included in non-performing assets is $1.4 million of real estate
owned consisting primarily of a $1.1 million commercial real estate property.
This commercial real estate property is a 25% participation interest in 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 incurred its
representative share of expenses totaling $75,000 and $150,000 for the three and
six months ended March 31, 2004, respectively. In April 2004, the lead lender
has agreed on terms to sell the property and is in the process of finalizing an
agreement of sale. Presently, the Bank expects no further loss upon the sale of
this property.

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 $1.6 million to $2.2 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2004 from the same period last year. The increase was primarily
the result of a $1.0 million increase in the gain on sales of investment
securities and a $601,000 increase in other non-interest income. The gain on the
sales of investment securities reflected primarily the proceeds from the sale of
exchange of securities of entities which were acquired in which the Company had
an equity interest. The increase in other non-interest income was a result of
the Company recognizing income of $550,000 in connection with a repayment of a
commercial real estate loan. Under the terms of the loan, certain additional
contingent payments were due upon repayment of the loan in full. Non-interest
income increased $2.1 million to $3.2 million for the six months ended March 31,
2004 by comparison to the same period last year. Increases in income of $1.4
million and $818,000 were recognized from the sale of investment and
mortgage-related securities and other non-interest income, respectively,
partially offset by a $180,000 decrease in the gain on sales of loans held for
sale.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSE.

Non-interest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 increased $1.6 million
or 63.3%, from the same period last year primarily due to a $1.4 million
increase in salaries and employee benefits. The increase in salaries and
employee benefits was due to an additional $598,000 benefit expense relating to
the funding of a non-qualified supplemental retirement plan for certain
executive officers and the prepayment of the outstanding loan balance on the
original loan to the Company's employee stock ownership plan ("ESOP") which
resulted in an additional $452,000 expense. The partial funding of the
retirement benefits and prepayment of the loan for the Company's ESOP will
decrease the cost of these benefit plans over the next several years. The
increase in salary and employee benefits also reflected merit increases, the
hiring of additional personnel and higher employee benefit costs. In addition,
the increase in non-interest expense was also due to increases of $104,000,
$73,000 and $66,000 in professional fees, real estate operations and other
non-interest expense, respectively. Non-interest expense for the six months
ended March 31, 2004 increased by $2.0 million, or 40.1%, in comparison to the
same period in the prior year.

INCOME TAX EXPENSE.

Income tax expense increased $8,000 to $146,000 for the three months ended March
31, 2004 compared to the same period in 2003 while decreasing $2,000 to $355,000
for the six months ended March 31, 2004. The increase for the second quarter of
fiscal 2004 resulted from the reduction in tax-free income as compared to the
same period in 2003.

                                      -16-



CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES.

The Company has identified the evaluation of the allowance for loan losses as a
critical accounting estimate where amounts are sensitive to material variation.
Critical accounting estimates are 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. The allowance for loan losses is considered a critical accounting
estimate because there is a large degree of judgment in (i) assigning individual
loans to specific risk levels (pass, special mention, substandard, doubtful and
loss), (ii) valuing the underlying collateral securing the loans, (iii)
determining the appropriate reserve factor to be applied to specific risk levels
for criticized and classified loans (special mention, substandard, doubtful and
loss) and (iv) determining reserve factors to be applied to pass loans based
upon loan type. To the extent that loans change risk levels, collateral values
change or reserve factors change, the Company may need to adjust its provision
for loan losses which would impact earnings.

Management has discussed the development and selection of this critical
accounting estimate with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors and the
Audit Committee has reviewed the Company's disclosure relating to it in this
Management's Discussion and Analysis.

Management believes the allowance for loan losses at March 31, 2004 was at a
level to cover the known and inherent losses in the portfolio that were both
probable and reasonable to estimate. In the future, management may adjust the
level of its allowance for loan losses as economic and other conditions dictate.
Management reviews the allowance for loan losses not less than quarterly.

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, repayments, prepayments 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, 2004, the Company had short-term
borrowings (due within one year or currently callable by the Federal Home Loan
Bank ("FHLB")) outstanding of $135.0 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, 2004, total approved
loan commitments outstanding amounted to $6.7 million, not including loans in
process. At the same date, commitments under unused lines of credit amounted to
$30.3 million. Certificates of deposit scheduled to mature in one year or less
at March 31, 2004 totaled $110.1 million. Based upon its historical experience,
management believes that a significant portion of maturing deposits will remain
with the Company.

As of March 31, 2004, 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,
2004, the Bank had tangible capital and core capital equal to 8.0% of adjusted
total assets and total capital equal to 14.9% of risk-weighted assets.

                                      -17-



INVESTMENT SECURITIES.

The Company reviews the investment and mortgage-related securities portfolios on
a periodic basis to specifically review individual securities for any meaningful
decline in market value below amortized cost. The analysis addresses all
securities whose fair value is significantly below amortized cost at the time of
the analysis, with additional emphasis placed on securities whose fair value has
been below amortized cost for an extended period of time. As part of the
periodic review process, the Company utilizes the expertise of outside
professional asset managers who provide an updated assessment of each issuer's
current credit situation based on recent issuer activities, such as quarterly
earnings announcements or other pertinent financial news for the issuer, recent
developments in a particular industry, economic outlook for a particular
industry and rating agency actions.

In addition to issuer-specific financial information and general economic data,
the Company also considers the ability and intent of its operations to hold a
particular security to maturity or until the market value of the security
recovers to a level in excess of the carrying value.

Of the securities in a unrealized loss position, there is only one security in
the portfolio with an unrealized loss position longer than 12 months with a fair
value of $4.1 million and a cost of $5.0 million. The preferred security is
rated AAA with an unrealized loss of $846,000. The preferred security is at a
loss because of the low interest rate environment. The Company has no current
plans to dispose of this security. The Company believes that all the securities
with an unrealized loss are only temporarily impaired.

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 Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2003.

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 up and 100 points down, in 100 basis point
increments.

                                      -18-



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, 2004.

As of March 31, 2004, the Company's NPV was $49.4 million or 8.44% of the market
value of assets. Following a 200 basis point increase in interest rates, the
Company's "post shock" NPV was $36.9 million or 6.58% of the market value of
assets. The change in the NPV ratio or the Company's sensitivity measure was
(1.86) %.

As of December 31, 2003, the Company's NPV was $51.4 million or 9.02% of the
market value of assets. Following a 200 basis point increase in interest rates,
the Company's "post shock" NPV was $37.9 million or 6.95% of the market value of
assets. The change in the NPV ratio or the Company's sensitivity measure was
(2.07) %.
