To Our Stockholders:
Fiscal 1997 was a year of accomplishment for WVS Financial Corp. and its
operating subsidiary West View Savings Bank. Company assets increased $35.1
million or 13.5% to $294.7 million at June 30, 1997. Investment and
mortgage-backed securities grew $23.7 million or 23.4% significantly enhancing
bottom line results. Net loans receivable rose by $9.1 million and totaled
$158.1 million or 53.6% of Company assets. Cash dividends paid to stockholders
totaled $3.00 per share in fiscal 1997 as compared to $2.06 per share in fiscal
1996, including special cash dividends of $2.30 and $1.70 per share paid in
fiscal years 1997 and 1996, respectively.
Net income for the year totaled $2.96 million or $1.69 per share both on a
primary and fully diluted basis as compared to $3.58 million or $2.06 per share
on a comparable basis for the same period in 1996. Fiscal 1997 operations were
significantly impacted by a $1.1 million one-time expense to recapitalize the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation's Savings Association Insurance Fund
(SAIF). Without this one-time charge, Company net income would have been
approximately $3.65 million or $2.08 per share.
Our commitment to enhance stockholder value remains steadfast. On June 30, 1997
the Company's stock was trading at $25 7/8 compared to $20 1/2 on June 30, 1996,
which, when combined with the cash dividends paid during fiscal 1997, provided
an impressive 40.9% return.
The Board of Directors, Senior Management and staff would like to thank you for
your continued support and we welcome the opportunity to serve you in the
future. By referring your family, friends and neighbors to West View Savings
Bank, you can contribute to the Company's future success.

WVS FINANCIAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARY
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
General - WVS Financial Corp. ("WVS" or the "Company") is the parent
holding company of West View Savings Bank ("West View" or the "Savings Bank").
The Company was organized in July 1993 as a Pennsylvania-chartered unitary bank
holding company and acquired 100% of the common stock of the Savings Bank in
November 1993.
West View Savings Bank is a Pennsylvania-chartered, SAIF-insured stock
savings bank conducting business from six offices in the North Hills suburbs of
Pittsburgh. Originally organized under Pennsylvania law in 1908 as West View
Building Loan Association, West View changed its name to West View Savings and
Loan Association in 1954. In June 1992, West View converted from a
Pennsylvania-chartered mutual savings and loan association to a
Pennsylvania-chartered mutual savings bank. The Savings Bank converted to the
stock form of ownership in November 1993. The Savings Bank had no subsidiaries
at June 30, 1997.
The operating results of the Company depend primarily upon its net
interest income, which is determined by the difference between income on
interest-earning assets, principally loans, mortgage-backed securities and
investment securities, and interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities,
which consist primarily of deposits. The Company's net income is also affected
by its provision for loan losses, as well as the level of its non-interest
income, including loan fees and service charges, and its non-interest expenses,
such as compensation and employee benefits, income taxes, deposit insurance and
occupancy costs.
The Company's strategy focuses on traditional thrift lending,
maintaining asset quality and increasing core earnings. Specific strategic
components include:
Core Deposits - As of June 30, 1997, $71.2 million or 41.7% of West
View's total deposits consisted of regular savings and club accounts, money
market deposit accounts, and checking accounts. Approximately $36.6 million or
51.4% of core deposits consisted of regular savings and club accounts. Checking
Account balances grew $1.9 million or 9.3% during fiscal 1997 and totaled $22.5
million or 31.6% of core deposits at June 30, 1997. The continued growth in
checking account deposits was primarily due to increased marketing and
promotional efforts by the Company to gain market share. Core deposits are
4
considered to be more stable and lower cost funds than certificates of deposit
and other borrowings.
Consistent Core Earnings - The Company's net interest income has
consistently covered operating expenses (non-interest expense). During fiscal
1997, net interest income totaled $10.2 million, representing a $0.7 million or
7.4% increase over fiscal 1996. See "Selected Consolidated Financial and Other
Data".
Asset Quality - Largely reflecting a lending strategy that emphasizes
local loan origination, West View has not had significant non-performing assets.
For the fiscal years ended June 30, 1997, 1996 and 1995, the Company's ratios of
non-performing assets and troubled debt restructurings to total assets were
0.09%, 0.38% and 0.86%, respectively. Total net charge-offs for the past three
fiscal years have aggregated $46 thousand.
Non-Interest Expense Ratios - For the fiscal years ended June 30,
1997, 1996 and 1995, the Company's ratios of non-interest expense to average
assets were 2.04%, 1.71% and 2.26%, respectively. Excluding unusual items
relating to shareholder litigation and the one-time SAIF recapitalization
charge, the Company's ratios of non-interest expense to average assets were
1.63%, 1.88% and 1.91% for the fiscal years ended June 30, 1997, 1996 and 1995,
respectively.
Traditional Thrift Lending - West View has consistently focused its
lending activities toward traditional thrift loan products. At June 30, 1997,
$128.9 million or 74.3% of the Company's total loans consisted of permanent
single-family mortgage and home equity loans. At June 30, 1997, approximately
$171.5 million or 98.8% of the Company's total loan portfolio consisted of loans
secured by real estate.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
The Company's assets totaled $294.7 million at June 30, 1997 as
compared to $259.6 million at June 30, 1996. The $35.1 million or 13.5% growth
in total assets was primarily comprised of a $23.7 million or 23.4% increase in
investment and mortgage-backed securities, a $9.1 million or 6.1% increase in
net loans receivable and a $2.0 million or 105.3% increase in Federal Home Loan
Bank ("FHLB") stock. The Company's total liabilities increased $36.2 million or
16.0% to $261.8 million as of June 30, 1997 from $225.6 million as of June 30,
1996. The $36.2 million increase in total liabilities was primarily comprised of
a $35.9 million or 73.7% increase in Federal Home Loan Bank advances and
short-term borrowings. Total stockholders' equity decreased $1.1 million or 3.2%
to $32.9 million as of June 30, 1997 from $34.0 million as of June 30, 1996,
primarily due to the Company's ongoing commitment to manage its capital levels
to further enhance stockholder value. The $1.1 million decrease in stockholders'
equity was principally
5
attributable to $2.9 million of Company net income, less cash dividends paid to
stockholders totaling $4.9 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997.
ASSET AND LIABILITY MANAGEMENT. The Company continued a strategy
designed to reduce the interest rate sensitivity of its financial assets to its
financial liabilities. The primary elements of this strategy include: (i)
expanding the Company's investment growth program in order to enhance net
interest income; (ii) maintaining the Company's level of short-term liquid
investments by funding loan commitments and purchasing longer-term investment
securities; (iii) emphasizing the retention of lower-cost savings accounts and
other core deposits; (iv) pricing the Company's certificates of deposit and loan
products nearer to the market average rate as opposed to the upper range of
market offered rates.
The Company has expanded its investment growth program, originally
initiated in the third quarter of fiscal 1994, throughout fiscal 1997 in order
to realize additional net interest income. Under this strategy, a longer-term
callable or noncallable investment security, or mortgage-backed security, is
purchased and funded through the use of short-term non-deposit liabilities, such
as FHLB advances and short-term borrowings. With this strategy, the Company
increases its net interest income, but also faces the risk, during periods of
rising market interest rates, that it may experience a decline in net interest
income if the rate paid on its various borrowings rises above the rate earned on
the investment security purchased. In order to mitigate this exposure, the Board
has placed certain restrictions on the investment growth program, including: (i)
the average outstanding daily balance of total borrowings, computed quarterly,
may not exceed approximately $85.0 million; (ii) suitable investments shall be
confined to those meeting the credit quality criteria outlined in the Company's
investment policy; and (iii) each security purchased shall initially yield a
minimum of seventy-five basis points above the incremental rate paid on
short-term borrowings, at the time of purchase. In most cases, the initial yield
spread earned on investment security purchases exceeded approximately two
hundred basis points.
The Company has continued to aggressively purchase bonds with optional
principal redemption features ("callable bonds") in order to capture additional
net interest income. Callable bonds generally provide investors with higher
rates of return than noncallable bonds because the issuer has the option to
redeem the bonds before maturity. While this strategy affords WVS the current
opportunity to improve its net interest income, during a period of declining
interest rates, such as was experienced during the first half of fiscal 1997,
the Company would be exposed to the risk that the investment will be redeemed
prior to its final stated maturity. In order to mitigate this risk, the Company
has funded a significant portion of its purchases of callable bonds with
short-term borrowings. Approximately $23.1 million of callable agency bonds with
an estimated weighted average rate of 8.0% were called during the fiscal year
ended June 30, 1997. During the fiscal year
6
ended June 30, 1997, the Company purchased approximately $56.5 million of
callable bonds with an approximate weighted average yield to call and maturity
of 8.4% and 8.0%, respectively. The callable agency bond purchases, totaling
$56.5 million, are summarized by initial term to call as follows: $25.0 million
within three months, $5.5 million with greater than three months and within six
months, $14.0 million with greater than six months and within twelve months and
$12.0 million within twenty-four months. In addition, during the twelve months
ended June 30, 1997, the Company sold approximately $1.7 million of adjustable
rate mortgage-backed securities with an approximate weighted average yield of
6.6% at a gain of $26 thousand.
The Company's net interest income could also be adversely impacted by
a general rise in market interest rates, such as was experienced during the
second half of fiscal 1997. In order to partially mitigate this risk,
approximately $19.0 million or 50.7% of the Company's mortgage-backed securities
portfolio were comprised of floating rate securities. The yields on the floating
rate securities adjust monthly based upon certain short-term market indexes
(e.g. LIBOR, Prime, etc.). The Company's floating rate mortgage-backed
securities had an approximate weighted average yield of 6.9% as of June 30,
1997.
The Company also makes available for origination residential mortgage
loans with interest rates which adjust pursuant to a designated index, although
customer acceptance has been somewhat limited in the Savings Bank's market area.
The Company will continue to selectively offer land acquisition and development
and shorter-term construction loans, primarily on residential properties, to
partially increase its loan asset sensitivity.
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997, the Company lengthened the
maturity structure of a portion of its borrowings in order to lock in a
favorable cost of funds on a longer term basis. The Company borrowed
approximately $84.3 million from the FHLB as follows: $66.9 million of
convertible advances, with terms ranging from three years to five years at a
weighted average rate of 5.69%, $6.4 million of various fixed rate advances with
terms ranging from eighteen to twenty-four months with a weighted average rate
of 6.08%, and various short-term borrowings totaling approximately $11.0
million. During the twelve months ended June 30, 1997, the Company repaid $44.4
million of FHLB advances and $3.9 million of other borrowings. Convertible
advances generally provide for a fixed rate of interest for a portion of the
term of the advance, an ability for the FHLB to convert the advance from a fixed
rate to an adjustable rate at some predetermined time during the remaining term
of advance (the "conversion" feature), and a concurrent opportunity for the
Company to prepay the advance with no prepayment penalty in the event that the
FHLB elects to exercise the conversion feature.
As of June 30, 1997, the implementation of these asset and liability
management initiatives resulted in the following: (i) an aggregate of $49.0
million or 31.0% of the
7
Company's net loan portfolio had adjustable interest rates or maturities of less
than 12 months; (ii) $19.0 million or 50.7% of the Company's portfolio of
mortgage-backed securities (including CMOs) were secured by floating rate
securities; (iii) $1.7 million or 1.9% of the Company's investment securities
portfolio had scheduled maturities of one year or less; and (iv) $81.9 million
or 93.6% of the Company's investment securities portfolio was comprised of
callable bonds.
The effect of interest rate changes on a financial institution's assets
and liabilities may be analyzed by examining the extent to which such assets and
liabilities are "interest rate sensitive" and by monitoring an institution's
interest rate sensitivity "gap". An asset or liability is said to be interest
rate sensitive within a specific time period if it will mature or reprice within
a given time period. A gap is considered positive when the amount of rate
sensitive assets exceeds the amount of rate sensitive liabilities. A gap is
considered negative when the amount of interest sensitive liabilities exceeds
the amount of interest sensitive assets. During a period of falling interest
rates, a positive gap would tend to adversely affect net interest income, while
a negative gap would tend to result in an increase in net interest income.
During a period of rising interest rates, a positive gap would tend to result in
an increase in net interest income, while a negative gap would tend to adversely
affect net interest income.
The Company's one year cumulative interest rate sensitivity gap
amounted to a negative 13.3% of total assets at June 30, 1997 as compared to a
negative 18.0% at June 30, 1996, in each instance, based on certain assumptions
by management with respect to the repricing of certain assets and liabilities.
At June 30, 1997, the Company's interest-earning assets maturing or repricing
within one year totaled $103.2 million while the Company's interest-bearing
liabilities maturing or repricing within one year totaled $142.3 million,
providing a deficiency of interest-earning assets over interest-bearing
liabilities of $39.1 million. At June 30, 1997, the percentage of the Company's
assets to liabilities maturing or repricing within one year was 72.5%.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK. The
Company's primary market risk exposure is interest rate risk and, to a lesser
extent, liquidity risk. All of the Company's transactions are denominated in
U.S. dollars with no specific foreign exchange exposure. The Savings Bank has no
agricultural loan assets and therefore would not have a specific exposure to
changes in commodity prices. Any impacts that changes in foreign exchange rates
and commodity prices would have on interest rates are assumed to be exogenous
and will be analyzed on an ex post basis.
Interest-rate risk ("IRR") is the exposure of a banking organization's
financial condition to adverse movements in interest rates. Accepting this risk
can be an important source of profitability and shareholder value, however
excessive levels of IRR can pose a significant threat to the Company's earnings
and capital base. Accordingly, effective risk management that maintains IRR at
prudent levels is essential to the Company's safety and soundness.
Evaluating a financial institution's exposure to changes in interest
rates includes assessing both the adequacy of the management process used to
control IRR and the organization's quantitative level of exposure. When
assessing the IRR management process, the Company seeks to ensure that
appropriate policies, procedures management information systems and internal
controls are in place to maintain IRR at prudent levels with consistency and
continuity. Evaluating the quantitative level of IRR exposure requires the
Company to assess the existing and potential future effects of changes in
interest rates on its consolidated financial condition, including capital
adequacy, earnings, liquidity, and, where appropriate, asset quality.
The Federal Reserve Board, together with the Office of the Comptroller
of the Currency and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, adopted a Joint
Agency Policy Statement on Interest-Rate Risk, effective June 26, 1996. The
policy statement provides guidance to examiners and bankers on sound practices
for managing interest rate risk, which will form the basis for ongoing
evaluation of the adequacy of interest-rate risk management at supervised
institutions. The policy statement also outlines fundamental elements of sound
management that have been identified in prior Federal Reserve guidance and
discusses the importance of these elements in the context of managing
interest-rate risk. Specifically, the guidance emphasizes the need for active
board of director and senior management oversight and a comprehensive
risk-management process that effectively identifies, measures, and controls
interest-rate risk. Financial institutions derive their income primarily from
the excess of interest collected over interest paid. The rates of interest an
institution earns on its assets and owes on its liabilities generally are
established contractually for a period of time. Since market interest rates
change over time, an institution is exposed to lower profit margins (or losses)
if it cannot adapt to interest-rate changes. For example, assume that an
institution's assets carry intermediate- or long-term fixed rates and that those
assets were funded with short-term liabilities. If market interest rates rise by
the time the short-term liabilities must be refinanced, the increase in the
institution's interest
11
expense on its liabilities may not be sufficiently offset if assets continue to
earn at the long-term fixed rates. Accordingly, an institution's profits could
decrease on existing assets because the institution will either have lower net
interest income or, possibly, net interest expense. Similar risks exist when
assets are subject to contractual interest-rate ceilings, or rate sensitive
assets are funded by longer-term, fixed-rate liabilities in a decreasing-rate
environment. Several techniques might be used by an institution to minimize
interest-rate risk. One approach used by the Company is to periodically analyze
its assets and liabilities and make future financing and investment decisions
based on payment streams, interest rates, contractual maturities, and estimated
sensitivity to actual or potential changes in market interest rates. Such
activities fall under the broad definition of asset/liability management. The
Company's primary asset/liability management technique is the measurement of the
Company's asset/liability gap-that is, the difference between the cash flow
amounts of interest-sensitive assets and liabilities that will be refinanced (or
repriced) during a given period. For example, if the asset amount to be repriced
exceeds the corresponding liability amount for a certain day, month, year, or
longer period, the institution is in an asset-sensitive gap position. In this
situation, net interest income would increase if market interest rates rose or
decrease if market interest rates fell. If, alternatively, more liabilities than
assets will reprice, the institution is in a liability-sensitive position.
Accordingly, net interest income would decline when rates rose and increase when
rates fell. Also, these examples assume that interest-rate changes for assets
and liabilities are of the same magnitude, whereas actual interest-rate changes
generally differ in magnitude for assets and liabilities.
Several ways an institution can manage interest-rate risk include:
selling existing assets or repaying certain liabilities; matching repricing
periods for new assets and liabilities for example, by shortening terms of new
loans or investments; hedging existing assets, liabilities, or anticipated
transactions. An institution might also invest in more complex financial
instruments intended to hedge or otherwise change interest-rate risk.
Interest-rate swaps, futures contracts, options on futures, and other such
derivative financial instruments often are used for this purpose. Because these
instruments are sensitive to interest-rate changes, they require management
expertise to be effective. Financial institutions are also subject to prepayment
risk in falling rate environments. For example, mortgage loans and other
financial assets may be prepaid by a debtor so that the debtor may refund its
obligations at new, lower rates. The Company has not purchased derivative
financial instruments in the past and does not presently intend to purchase such
instruments in the near future. Prepayments of assets carrying higher rates
reduce the Company's interest income and overall asset yields. A large portion
of an institution's liabilities may be short term or due on demand, while most
of its assets may be invested in long-term loans or investments. Accordingly,
the Company seeks to have in place sources of cash to meet short-term demands.
These funds can be obtained by increasing deposits, borrowing, or selling
assets. Also, FHLB advances and wholesale borrowings have become increasingly
important sources of liquidity for the Company.
12
The following table provides information about the Company's financial
instruments that are sensitive to changes in interest rates as of June 30, 1997
based on the information and assumptions set forth in the notes. The Company
believes that the assumptions utilized, which are based on statistical data
provided by a federal regulatory agency in the Company's market area, are
reasonable. The Company had no derivative financial instruments, or trading
portfolio, as of June 30, 1997. The expected maturity date values for loans
receivable, mortgage-backed securities, and investment securities were
calculated by adjusting the instrument's contractual maturity date for
expectations of prepayments, as set forth in the notes. Similarly, expected
maturity date values for interest-bearing core deposits were calculated based
upon estimates of the period over which the deposits would be outstanding as set
forth in the notes. With respect to the Company's adjustable rate instruments,
expected maturity date values were measured by adjusting the instrument's
contractual maturity date for expectations of prepayments, as set forth in the
notes. From a risk management perspective, however, the Company believes that
repricing dates, as opposed to expected maturity dates, may be a more relevant
metric in analyzing the value of such instruments. Similarly, substantially all
of the Company's investment securities portfolio is comprised of callable
government agency securities. Company borrowings were tabulated by contractual
maturity dates and without regard to any conversion or repricing dates.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
GENERAL. WVS reported net income of $3.0 million, $3.6 million and $1.8
million for the fiscal years ended June 30, 1997, 1996 and 1995 respectively.
Net income for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997 totaled $3.0 million or $1.69
per share on both a primary and fully diluted basis as compared to net income of
$3.6 million or $2.06 per share on both a primary and fully diluted basis for
the same period in 1996. The $600 thousand or 16.7% decrease in net income was
the result of a $1.6 million increase in non-interest expense, which was
partially offset by a $764 thousand increase in net interest income, a $136
thousand decrease in income tax expense, and a $90 thousand decrease in the
provision for the loan losses. The $1.6 million increase in fiscal year
non-interest expense was principally attributable to one-time items including a
$1.0 net increase in federal deposit premiums to recapitalize the Savings
Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF"). Fiscal 1996 net income increased by $1.8
million or 100% primarily as the result of a $1.3 million increase in net
interest income, an $827 thousand decrease in non-interest expense, a $76
thousand increase in non-interest income and a $61 thousand decrease in the
provision for loan losses, which was partially offset by a $414 thousand
increase in income tax expense.
NET INTEREST INCOME. Net interest income is determined by the Company's
interest rate spread (i.e. the difference between the yields earned on its
interest-earning assets and the rates paid on its interest-bearing liabilities)
and the relative amounts of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing
liabilities.

Average Balances, Net Interest Income and Yields Earned and Rates Paid.
The following average balance sheet table sets forth at and for the periods
indicated, information on the Company regarding: (i) the total dollar amounts of
interest income on interest-earning assets and the resulting average yields;
(ii) the total dollar amounts of interest expense on interest-bearing
liabilities and the resulting average costs; (iii) net interest income; (iv)
interest rate spread; (v) net interest-earning assets (interest-bearing
liabilities); (vi) the net yield earned on interest-earning assets; and (vii)
the ratio of total interest-earning assets to total interest-bearing
liabilities. Average balances are derived from month-end balances. Management
does not believe that the use of month-end balances instead of daily average
balances has caused any material differences in the information presented.

Rate/Volume Analysis. The following table describes the extent to which
changes in interest rates and changes in volume of interest-related assets and
liabilities have affected the Company's interest income and expense during the
periods indicated. For each category of interest-earning assets and
interest-bearing liabilities, information is provided on changes attributable to
(i) changes in volume (change in volume multiplied by prior year rate), (ii)
changes in rate (change in rate multiplied by prior year volume), and (iii)
total change in rate and volume. The combined effect of changes in both rate and
volume has been allocated proportionately to the change due to rate and the
change due to volume.

INTEREST INCOME. Total interest income increased by $2.8 million or
15.3% during fiscal 1997 and increased by $2.7 million or 17.3% during fiscal
1996, primarily as a result of changes in interest income on the Company's
investment and mortgage-backed securities portfolio, and net loans receivable,
during the periods.
Interest income on net loans receivable increased $684 thousand or
5.8% during fiscal 1997 and increased $604 thousand or 5.4% during fiscal 1996.
The increase in fiscal 1997 was attributable to a $12.1 million increase in the
average balance of net loans outstanding which more than offset a decrease of 21
basis points in the weighted average yield earned on the Company's loan
portfolio. The increase in fiscal 1996 was attributable to an $8.1 million
increase in the average balance of net loans outstanding, which more than offset
a decrease of 5 basis points in the weighted average yield earned on the
Company's loan portfolio.
Interest income on mortgage-backed securities increased $1.1 million or
68.8% during fiscal 1997 and increased $312 thousand or 23.5% during fiscal
1996. The increase
18
in fiscal 1997 was attributable to an increase of 45 basis points in the
weighted average yield earned on the Company's mortgage-backed securities
portfolio and a $14.1 million increase in the average balance of mortgage-backed
securities outstanding. The increase in fiscal 1996 was attributable to an
increase of 65 basis points in the weighted average yield earned on the
Company's mortgage-backed securities portfolio and a $2.5 million increase in
the average balance of mortgage-backed securities outstanding.
Interest income on investment securities and FHLB stock increased $1.1
million or 22.9% during fiscal 1997 and $1.8 million or 60.0% during fiscal
1996. The increase in fiscal 1997 was attributable to a $14.4 million increase
in the average balance of investment securities and FHLB stock outstanding,
which more than offset a decrease of 4 basis points in the weighted average
yield earned on the Company's investment and FHLB stock portfolio. The increase
in fiscal 1996 was attributable to a $10.9 million increase in the average
balance of investment securities and FHLB stock outstanding and to an increase
of 189 basis points in the weighted average yield earned on the Company's
investment securities and FHLB stock portfolio.
Interest income on interest-bearing deposits decreased $12 thousand or
13.0% during fiscal 1997 and decreased $42 thousand or 31.3% during fiscal 1996.
The decrease in fiscal 1997 was primarily due to a $47 thousand decrease in the
average balance of interest-earning deposits outstanding and a decrease of 59
basis points in the weighted average yield earned on the Company's
interest-earning deposits. The decrease in fiscal 1996 was attributable to a
$608 thousand decrease in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits
outstanding and a decrease of 61 basis points in the weighted average yield
earned on the Company's interest-earning deposits.
Throughout the first half of fiscal 1997, market interest rates
continued to decrease primarily due to reduced inflationary expectations in the
capital markets. During the second half of fiscal 1997, market interest rates
began to increase in response to inflationary expectations in the capital
markets due to continued economic expansion and the Federal Reserve Board's
predilection to tighten the Federal Funds rate. The Company continued to
restructure its balance sheet by lengthening the maturity of its financial
assets, particularly its investment securities portfolio, and lengthening the
maturities of its financial liabilities by emphasizing the use of FHLB term
borrowings. The Company believes that this strategy has contributed to increased
net interest income during fiscal 1997.
INTEREST EXPENSE. Total interest expense increased $2.1 million or
23.9% during fiscal 1997 and increased by $1.4 million or 18.9% during fiscal
1996.
Interest expense on interest-bearing deposits and escrows decreased
$345 thousand or 4.6% in fiscal 1997 and increased $285 thousand or 4.0% in
fiscal 1996. The decrease in fiscal 1996 was primarily attributable to a
decrease of 13 basis points in the weighted average rate paid on the Company's
deposits and a $3.2 million decrease in the average balance of interest-bearing
deposits and escrows outstanding. The increase in
19
fiscal 1996 was primarily attributable to an increase of 26 basis points in the
weighted average rate paid on the Company's deposits and a $7.9 million increase
in the proportion of time deposits to the average total of interest-bearing
deposits and escrows outstanding.
Interest expense on borrowings increased $2.4 million or 171.4% during
fiscal 1997 and increased $1.2 million or 523.6% during fiscal 1996. The
increases for both fiscal 1997 and 1996 were primarily attributable to increases
in the average balance of borrowings outstanding totaling $37.7 million and
$20.9 million, respectively. In order to better match investment opportunities
and resources, enhance its net interest income and reduce the amount of excess
cash invested at the FHLB of Pittsburgh, the Company continues to utilize short
and intermediate term borrowings to purchase investment securities and fund
other commitments.
PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES. A provision for loan losses is charged to
earnings to bring the total allowance to a level considered adequate by
management to absorb potential losses in the portfolio. Management's
determination of the adequacy of the allowance is based on periodic evaluations
of the loan portfolio considering past experience, current economic conditions,
volume, growth, composition of the loan portfolio and other relevant factors.
The Company established provisions for possible losses on loans of $60
thousand, $150 thousand and $211 thousand, for the fiscal years ended June 30,
1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. The provisions for fiscal 1997 and 1996 were
primarily due to increases in the Company's general allowance for losses on
loans.
NON-INTEREST INCOME. Total non-interest income decreased by $9 thousand
or 2.3% in fiscal 1997 and increased $76 thousand or 24.8% in fiscal 1996.
Service charges on deposits increased by $7 thousand or 3.6% in fiscal
1997 and increased $20 thousand or 11.4% in fiscal 1996. The increase in both
fiscal years was principally attributable to service charges applied to a larger
number of transaction accounts opened during the respective fiscal year. The
Company has continued to aggressively pursue transaction accounts in order to
enhance its level of core deposits and to increase its relationship base with
new and existing customers.
Other non-interest income (e.g. safe deposit box fees, income from
loan late charges, automated teller machine (ATM) fee income, profit on sale of
real estate owned, miscellaneous income, and money order fee income) increased
$8 thousand in fiscal 1997 and increased $2 thousand in fiscal 1996.
20
NON-INTEREST EXPENSE. Total non-interest expense increased $1.6
million or 39.0% during fiscal 1997 and decreased $827 thousand or 16.9% during
fiscal 1996. The decrease in non-interest expense during fiscal 1996 was
primarily attributable to a $748 thousand decrease in litigation defense and
settlement charges, $391 thousand of insurance reimbursements related to a class
action lawsuit, partially offset by a $227 thousand increase in compensation
expense and a $96 thousand increase in other non-interest expense. The increase
in non-interest expense during the fiscal 1997 was principally attributable to
an $893 increase in deposit insurance premiums, the absence of $382 thousand of
non-taxable insurance settlement proceeds resulting from previously disclosed
and settled shareholder litigation and defense costs and a $337 thousand
increase in compensation expense.
Salaries and employee benefits increased $337 thousand or 12.8% during
fiscal 1997 and increased $227 thousand or 9.5% during fiscal 1996. The increase
in fiscal 1997 was principally attributable to a $195 thousand increase related
to the Company's Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP"), a $75 thousand increase
in employee wages and salaries and a $57 thousand increase in profit sharing
plan expense. The increase in fiscal 1996 was primarily attributable to a $134
thousand increase related to the ESOP, a $51 thousand increase in employee wages
and salaries, a $23 thousand increase in the Company's recognition and retention
plan expense and a $15 thousand increase in federal unemployment tax expense.
Occupancy and equipment expense increased $8 thousand or 2.0% in
fiscal 1997 and declined $3 thousand or 0.7% in fiscal 1996. The change in both
fiscal years was due to changes in the amount of equipment purchases and
depreciation expense.
Federal deposit insurance premiums increased $893 thousand or 222.7%
during fiscal 1997 and decreased $17 thousand or 4.1% during fiscal 1996. On
September 30, 1996 the President signed the Deposit Insurance Funds Act of 1996
(the "Funds Act") into law. The Funds Act calls for a Special Assessment on
SAIF-assessable deposits as of March 31, 1995 to capitalize the SAIF to its
designated reserve ratio of 1.25%. The Company recorded a pre-tax charge of
approximately $1.1 million during the quarter ended September 30, 1996 using an
FDIC estimated assessment rate of $0.657 for every $100 of assessable deposits.
During the quarter ended December 31, 1996, the Company accrued a $102 thousand
refund of prepaid federal deposit insurance premiums as a result of the
capitalization of the SAIF. Federal insurance premiums are dependent on the size
of the Company's deposit base and premiums which were assessed by the FDIC
during the respective years.
Data processing expense increased $3 thousand or 1.8% during fiscal
1997 and declined $3 thousand or 1.8% during fiscal 1996. Data processing
expense is directly related to processing volumes and certain pricing features
associated with the Company's third party data processor.
21
Correspondent bank service charges increased $2 thousand or 1.8% in
fiscal 1997 and increased $12 thousand or 12.1% in fiscal 1996. The increase in
correspondent bank service charges for both periods is due to higher volumes of
check and deposit processing and coin and currency service charges and
investment security safekeeping costs.
Other non-interest expense (e.g. director's compensation expense,
advertising, Pennsylvania capital stock tax expense, ATM network expense,
provision for loss on real estate owned, legal expense, transfer agent expense,
etc.) decreased $15 thousand or 2.0% during fiscal 1997 and decreased $96
thousand or 15.0% during fiscal 1996. The decrease in fiscal 1997 was primarily
attributable to the absence of foreclosed real estate disposition costs and
related expenses. The increase in fiscal 1996 was principally attributable to a
$52 thousand increase in Pennsylvania capital stock tax expense, a $25 thousand
increase in real estate owned charges relating to the disposition of two
foreclosed properties, a $10 thousand increase in supervisory assessment charges
imposed by the Pennsylvania Department of Banking, and a $9 thousand increase in
advertising expense to attract new core deposit and loan business.
INCOME TAXES. Income taxes decreased $136 thousand or 6.6% during
fiscal 1997 and increased $414 thousand or 25.1% during fiscal 1996. The
decrease in fiscal 1997 was principally attributable to a $754 or 13.4% decrease
in taxable income. The increase in fiscal 1996 was primarily attributable to a
$2.2 million or 64.7% increase in taxable income partially offset by a $123
thousand benefit associated with the shareholder litigation insurance
reimbursement. The Company's effective tax rate was 39.4%, 36.6% and 48.0% at
June 30, 1997, 1996 and 1995 respectively. The decrease in the effective rate
for fiscal 1996 was due primarily to a one-time adjustment for the non-taxable
litigation and settlement insurance settlement previously discussed.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $3.7 million with no
significant change during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997 when compared with
the same period in 1996. Net cash provided by operating activities was primarily
comprised of $3.0 million in net income.
Funds used by investing activities totaled $34.8 million during the
fiscal year ended June 30, 1997. Primary uses of funds during the fiscal year
ended June 30, 1997 include $23.3 million in net purchases of investment and
mortgage-backed securities, a $9.5 million increase in net loan receivables, and
a $2.0 million increase in FHLB stock.
22
Funds provided by financing activities totaled $31.0 million for the
fiscal year ended June 30, 1997. Primary sources of funding include $40.0
million in FHLB advances used to fund loan commitments and investment security
purchases, which was partially offset by $4.9 million in cash dividends paid,
and a $3.9 million decrease in other borrowings. Financial institutions
generally, including the Company, have experienced a certain degree of depositor
disintermediation to other investment alternatives. Management believes that the
degree of disintermediation experienced by the Company has not had a material
impact on overall liquidity. As of June 30, 1997, $71.2 million or 41.7% of the
Company's total deposits consisted of core deposits. Management has determined
that it currently is maintaining adequate liquidity and continues to better
match funding sources with lending and investment opportunities.
The Company's primary sources of funds are deposits, amortization,
prepayments and maturities of existing loans, mortgage-backed securities and
investment securities, funds from operations, and funds obtained through Federal
Home Loan Bank advances and other borrowings. At June 30, 1997, the total
approved loan commitments outstanding amounted to $3.1 million. At the same
date, commitments under unused letters and lines of credit amounted to $6.6
million, the unadvanced portion of construction loans approximated $12.5
million, and commitments to purchase when-issued investments totaled $1.1
million. Certificates of deposit scheduled to mature in one year or less at June
30, 1997 totaled $70.0 million. Management believes that a significant portion
of maturing deposits will remain with the Company.
Historically, the Company used its sources of funds primarily to meet
its ongoing commitments to pay maturing certificates of deposit and savings
withdrawals, fund loan commitments and maintain a substantial portfolio of
investment securities. The Company has been able to generate sufficient cash
through the retail deposit market, its traditional funding source, and through
FHLB advances and other borrowings, to provide the cash utilized in investing
activities. The Company has established a $15.0 million line of credit with the
FHLB, which is scheduled to mature on March 25, 1998 and is subject to various
conditions, including the pledging and delivery of acceptable collateral. The
primary purpose of the line of credit is to serve as a back-up liquidity
facility for the Company, however, the Company may from time to time utilize the
line of credit to purchase investment securities and fund other commitments. In
addition, the Company has access to the Federal Reserve Bank discount window.
Management believes that the Company currently has adequate liquidity available
to respond to liquidity demands.
On July 29, 1997 the Company's Board of Directors declared a cash
dividend of $0.20 per share payable on August 21, 1997 to shareholders of record
at the close of
23
business on August 11, 1997. Dividends are subject to determination and
declaration by the Board of Directors, which take into account the Company's
financial condition, statutory and regulatory restrictions, general economic
conditions and other factors. There can be no assurance that dividends will in
fact be paid on the Common Stock in the future or that, if paid, such dividends
will not be reduced or eliminated in future periods.
As of June 30, 1997, WVS Financial Corp. exceeded all regulatory
capital requirements and maintained Tier I and total risk-based capital equal to
$33.1 million or 24.5% and $34.8 million or 25.8%, respectively, of total
risk-weighted assets, and Tier I leverage capital of $33.1 million or 11.4% of
average total assets.
Nonperforming assets consist of nonaccrual loans and real estate owned.
A loan is placed on nonaccrual status when, in the judgment of management, the
probability of collection of interest is deemed insufficient to warrant further
accrual. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, previously accrued but
uncollected interest is deducted from interest income. The Company normally does
not accrue interest on loans past due 90 days or more, however, interest may be
accrued if management believes that it will collect on the loan.
The Company's nonperforming assets at June 30, 1997 totaled
approximately $274 thousand or 0.09% of total assets as compared to $377
thousand or 0.15% of total assets as of June 30, 1996. Nonperforming assets at
March 31, 1997 consisted of $274 thousand in a single commercial real estate
loan. Approximately $15 thousand of additional interest income would have been
recorded during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997, if the Company's nonaccrual
and restructured loans had been current in accordance with their original loan
terms and outstanding throughout the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(In thousands, except per share data)
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization
WVS Financial Corp. ("WVS" or the "Company") was organized in July, 1993 as a
Pennsylvania- chartered unitary bank holding company and acquired 100% of the
common stock of West View Savings Bank ("West View" or the "Savings Bank") in
November, 1993. The operating results of the Company depend primarily upon the
operating results of the Savings Bank and, to a lesser extent, income from
interest-earning assets such as investment securities.
West View is a Pennsylvania-chartered, SAIF-insured stock savings bank
conducting business from six offices in the North Hills suburbs of Pittsburgh.
The Savings Bank's principal sources of revenue emanate from its portfolio of
residential real estate and commercial mortgage loans, as well as income from
investment and mortgage-backed securities.
The Company is supervised by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System, while the Savings Bank is subject to regulation and supervision by the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and the Pennsylvania Department of
Banking.
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of WVS and its
wholly-owned subsidiary, West View Savings Bank. All intercompany transactions
have been eliminated in consolidation. The accounting and reporting policies of
WVS and its wholly-owned subsidiary conform with generally accepted accounting
principles. The Company's fiscal year end for financial reporting is June 30.
For regulatory and income tax reporting purposes, WVS reports on a December 31
calendar year basis.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to
make estimates and assumptions that effect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities as of the balance sheet date and revenues and expenses for that
period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.
Investment and Mortgage-Backed Securities
Debt and mortgage-backed securities acquired with the intent to hold to maturity
are stated at cost adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of
discount, which are computed using the interest method and recognized as
adjustments of interest income. Amortization rates for mortgage-backed
securities are periodically adjusted to reflect changes in the prepayment speeds
of the underlying mortgages. Certain other debt and mortgage-backed securities
have been classified as available for sale to serve principally as a source of
liquidity. Unrealized holding gains and losses for available for sale securities
are reported as a separate component of stockholders' equity, net of tax, until
realized. Realized securities gains and losses are computed using the specific
identification method. Interest and dividends on investment and mortgage-backed
securities are recognized as income when earned.
Common stock of the Federal Home Loan Bank (the "FHLB") represents ownership in
an institution which is wholly-owned by other financial institutions. This
equity security is accounted for at cost and reported separately on the
accompanying statement of financial condition.
In December, 1995, in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board
Special Report, "A Guide to Implementation of Statement No. 115 on Accounting
for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities", the Company reclassified
certain mortgage-backed securities, with an amortized cost of $15.9 million and
an estimated market value of $16.1 million, from the held to maturity
classification to the available for sale classification. The net appreciation of
these securities, at the time of transfer, was recorded net of federal income
taxes to an unrealized securities gain (loss) account which is a component of
stockholders' equity.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Net Loans Receivable
Loans receivable are reported at their principal amount, net of the allowance
for loan losses and deferred loan fees. Interest on mortgage loans, consumer
loans, financing leases and commercial loans is recognized on the accrual
method. The Company's general policy is to stop accruing interest on loans when,
based upon relevant factors, the collection of principal or interest is
doubtful, regardless of the contractual status.
Loan origination and commitment fees, and all incremental direct loan
origination costs, are deferred and recognized over the contractual remaining
lives of the related loans on a level yield basis.
Allowance for Loan Losses
Effective January 1, 1995, WVS adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan," as
amended by Statement No. 118. Under this Standard, the Bank estimates credit
losses on impaired loans based on the present value of expected cash flows or
fair value of the underlying collateral if the loan repayment is expected to
come from the sale or operation of such collateral. The adoption of these
statements did not have a material effect on WVS' consolidated financial
position or results of operation.
Impaired loans are commercial and commercial real estate loans for which it is
probable that WVS will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the
contractual terms of the loan agreement. WVS individually evaluates such loans
for impairment and does not aggregate loans by major risk classifications. The
definition of "impaired loans" is not the same as the definition of "nonaccrual
loans," although the two categories overlap. WVS may choose to place a loan on
nonaccrual status due to payment delinquency or uncertain collectibility, while
not classifying the loan as impaired if the loan is not a commercial or
commercial real estate loan. Factors considered by management in determining
impairment include payment status and collateral value. The amount of impairment
for these types of loans is determined by the difference between the present
value of the expected cash flows related to the loan, using the original
interest rate, and its recorded value, or, as a practical expedient in the case
of collateralized loans, the difference between the fair value of the collateral
and the recorded amount of the loans. When foreclosure is probable, impairment
is measured based on the fair value of the collateral.
Mortgage loans on one-to-four family properties and all consumer loans represent
large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans and are measured for
impairment collectively. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays,
which are defined as 90 days or less, generally are not classified as impaired.
Management determines the significance of payment delays on a case-by-case
basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan
and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the borrower's prior
payment record, and the amount of shortfall in relation to the principal and
interest owed.
The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses
charged against income. Loans deemed to be uncollectible are charged against the
allowance account. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.
The allowance is maintained at a level believed adequate by management to absorb
estimated potential loan losses. Management's determination of the adequacy of
the allowance is based on periodic evaluations of the loan portfolio considering
past experience, current economic conditions, composition of the loan portfolio,
and other relevant factors. This evaluation is inherently subjective, as it
requires material estimates that may be susceptible to significant change in the
near term.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Real Estate Owned
Real estate owned acquired through foreclosure is carried at the lower of cost
or fair value minus estimated costs to sell. Costs relating to development and
improvement of the property are capitalized, whereas costs of holding such real
estate are expensed as incurred. Valuation allowances for estimated losses are
provided when the carrying value of the real estate acquired exceeds the fair
value.
Premises and Equipment
Premises and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation.
Depreciation is principally computed on the straight-line method over the
estimated useful lives of the related assets. Leasehold improvements are
amortized over their estimated useful lives or their respective lease terms,
whichever is shorter. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged
against income as incurred. Costs of major additions and improvements are
capitalized.
Income Taxes
Deferred tax assets or liabilities are computed based on the difference between
the financial statement and the income tax basis of assets and liabilities using
the enacted marginal tax rates. Deferred income taxes or benefits are based on
the changes in the deferred tax asset or liability from period to period.
The Company files a consolidated federal income tax return. Deferred tax assets
and liabilities are reflected at currently enacted income tax rates applicable
to the period in which the deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be
realized or settled. As changes in tax rates are enacted, deferred tax assets
and liabilities are adjusted through the provision for income taxes.
Cash Flow Information
Cash and cash equivalents include cash and due from banks and interest-earning
demand deposits, as noted on the consolidated statements of financial condition.
Earnings Per Share
Earnings per share for the years ended June 30, 1997, 1996, and 1995 have been
calculated based upon the weighted average number of issued and outstanding
common shares, including common stock equivalents, if such items have a dilutive
effect.
Reclassification of Comparative Figures
Certain comparative amounts for 1996 and 1995 have been reclassified to conform
to 1997 presentations. Such reclassifications did not affect net income.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 1996, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Accounting Standards No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of
Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities", which provides accounting
and reporting standards for transfers and servicing of financial assets and
extinguishment of liabilities. This statement applies prospectively in fiscal
years beginning after December 31, 1996, and establishes new standards that
focus on control, whereas, after a transfer of financial assets, an entity
recognizes the financial and servicing assets it controls and the liabilities it
has incurred, derecognizes financial assets when control has been surrendered,
and derecognizes liabilities when extinguished.
In December 1996, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 127, "Deferral of the Effective Date of
Certain Provisions of FASB Statement No. 125". Statement 127 defers for one year
the effective date of certain portions of Statement No. 125 that address secured
borrowings and collateral for all transactions. Additionally, Statement No. 127
defers for one year the effective date of transfers of financial assets that are
part of repurchase agreements, securities lending and similar transactions. WVS
does not expect the adoption of Statement 125 and 127 to have a material impact
on the Company's consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share", effective for
financial statements issued for periods ending after December 15, 1997. The new
standard specifies the computation, presentation, and disclosure requirements
for earnings per share for entities with publicly held common stock. WVS does
not anticipate adoption to have a material impact on presentation and disclosure
for earnings per share.
In July 1997 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income".
Statement No. 130 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
1997. This statement establishes standards for reporting and presentation of
comprehensive income and its components (revenues, expenses, gains and losses)
in a full set of general purpose financial statements. It requires that all
items that are required to be recognized under accounting standards as
components of comprehensive income be reported in a financial statement that is
presented with the same prominence as other financial statements. Statement No.
130 requires that companies (i) classify items of other comprehensive income by
their nature in a financial statement and (ii) display the accumulated balance
of other comprehensive income separately from retained earnings and additional
paid-in capital in the equity section of the statement of financial condition.
Reclassification of financial statements for earlier periods provided for
comprehensive purposes is required.

$26,440 at June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively, represent financial instruments
with off-balance-sheet risk.
Loan commitments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest
rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the statement of financial
condition. The same credit policies are used in making commitments and
conditional obligations as for on-balance-sheet instruments. Generally,
collateral, usually in the form of real estate, is required to support financial
instruments with credit risk.
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as
there is no violation of any condition established in the loan agreement. These
commitments are comprised primarily of the undisbursed portion of construction
and land development loans (Note 4), residential, commercial real estate, and
consumer loan originations.
The exposure to loss under these commitments is limited by subjecting them to
credit approval and monitoring procedures. Substantially all of the commitments
to extend credit are contingent upon customers maintaining specific credit
standards at the time of the loan funding. Management assesses the credit risk
associated with certain commitments to extend credit in determining the level of
the allowance for loan losses.

12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES (Continued)
Litigation
A settlement agreement was entered into during the fourth quarter of fiscal 1995
in connection with the class action lawsuit filed by Jeffrey Carberry, et. al.,
in the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania
against the Company and the Savings Bank. The lawsuit alleged, among other
things, antitrust and securities laws violations in connection with the Savings
Bank's mutual-to-stock conversion. The Company entered into the settlement to,
among other reasons, avoid the cost of and disruption of the continuing
litigation. During the quarter and fiscal year ended June 30, 1995, the Company
established a provision for the settlement of litigation totaling $491,000. On
January 16, 1996, the Company received an executed Release of Claims (the
"Release") in connection with this lawsuit. The Release fully and finally
discharged all Defendants from all claims, causes of action and disputes of any
kind that the class members directly or indirectly had with respect to the
Plaintiff's claims. Also on January 16, 1996, the Company's insurance carrier
entered into a settlement with regard to coverage for claims and costs of
defense arising from the previously settled class action lawsuit. The insurance
carrier agreed to pay the Savings Bank, as designee of the officers and
directors, the sum of approximately $391,000 to reimburse the Company and the
Savings Bank for litigation defense and settlement costs incurred or accrued
through December 1, 1995. In addition, the insurance carrier agreed to pay 50%
of the amount of future defense costs and expenses relating to the Carberry
lawsuit that may arise after December 1, 1995, for a one year period beginning
January 15, 1996.
On March 27, 1995, the United States District Court for the Western District of
Pennsylvania entered an Opinion and Orders dismissing in its entirety a lawsuit
brought by Plaintiff William S. Karn, who is a depositor of the Savings Bank and
a shareholder of the Company, which alleged, among other things, antitrust and
securities laws violations in connection with the Savings Bank's mutual-to-stock
conversion. The court also dismissed this same Plaintiff's federal claims in a
second and substantially similar lawsuit while remanding to the court of Common
Pleas of Allegheny County any cognizable state law claims. This Plaintiff has
filed Motion to Amend Judgment with the Court on the Opinion and Orders and a
Memorandum Response in Opposition has been filed. On August 28, 1995, the Court
denied the Plaintiff's motion to Amend Judgment.
The Company is also involved with various other legal actions arising in the
ordinary course of business. Management believes the outcome of these matters
will have no material effect on the consolidated operations or consolidated
financial condition of WVS.
13. REGULATORY CAPITAL
Federal regulations require the Company and Savings Bank to maintain minimum
amounts of capital. Specifically, each is required to maintain certain minimum
dollar amounts and ratios of total and Tier I capital to risk-weighted assets
and of Tier I capital to average total assets.
In addition to the capital requirements, the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation Improvement Act (FDICIA) established five capital categories ranging
from "well capitalized" to "critically undercapitalized." Should any institution
fail to meet the requirements to be considered "adequately capitalized,"
respectively, it would become subject to a series of increasingly restrictive
regulatory actions.
As of June 30, 1997 and 1996, the FDIC categorized the Savings Bank as well
capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be
classified as a well capitalized financial institution, total risk-based, Tier 1
risk-based and Tier 1 leverage capital ratios must be at least 10%, 6%, and 5%,
respectively.

14. STOCK BENEFIT PLANS
Stock Option and Stock Appreciation Plans
In November 1993, the Board of Directors adopted Stock Option Plans for the
Company's directors, officers, and employees, which were approved by
stockholders at a special meeting held on February 22, 1994. An aggregate of
173,629 shares of authorized but unissued common stock of WVS were reserved for
future issuance under these plans. The stock options typically have an
expiration term of ten years, subject to certain extensions and early
terminations. The per share exercise price of an incentive stock option shall at
a minimum equal the fair market value of a share of common stock on the date the
option is granted. The per share exercise price of a compensatory stock option
granted shall at least equal the greater of par value or 85% of the fair market
value of a share of common stock on the date the option is granted. Proceeds
from the exercise of the stock options are credited to common stock for the
aggregate par value and the excess is credited to paid in capital.
Stock appreciation rights (SARs) were also authorized under the Plans, and may
be granted in conjunction with stock options or in lieu of exercising all or a
portion of a stock option. An SAR entitles the holder to receive cash or shares
of WVS common stock, or combinations thereof, at a value equal to the difference
between the fair market value of all or part of the shares subject to option on
the date the right is exercised and the options exercise price. Exercise of an
option or companion SAR automatically cancels the related option or right. No
SARs have been issued under the Plans.
The following table presents share data related to the outstanding options:

14. STOCK BENEFIT PLANS (Continued)
Stock Option and Stock Appreciation Plans (Continued)
Effective July 1, 1996, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards Statement No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-based Compensation". As
permitted under Statement 123, the Company has elected to continue following
Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees" ("APB 25"), and related Interpretations, in accounting for
stock-based awards to employees. Under APB 25, because the exercise price of the
Company's employee stock options equals the market price of the underlying stock
on the date of grant, no compensation expense is recognized in the Company's
financial statements. Had the fair value method of Statement No. 123 been
applied, the pro forma net income and earnings per share would not be materially
different than that presented on the consolidated statements of income.
Retention and Recognition Plans (RRP)
The Board of Directors adopted and shareholders subsequently approved at a
special meeting on February 22, 1994, RRP's for selected officers, employees and
directors of the Company. The objective of the RRP's is to enable the Company to
retain its corporate officers, key employees and directors who have the
experience and ability necessary to manage WVS and the Savings Bank. Officers
and key employees of the Company who were selected by members of a Board
appointed committee are eligible to receive benefits under the RRP's.
Non-employee directors of the Company are eligible to participate in the RRP for
directors. WVS has appointed an independent fiduciary to serve as trustee for
the RRP Trusts.
An aggregate of 150,000 shares of common stock of WVS were acquired at
conversion for future issuance under these plans, of which 30,000 shares are
subject to the RRP for directors and 120,000 shares are subject to the RRP for
officers and key employees. Officers, employees, and directors who terminate
their association with the Company shall forfeit the right to any shares which
were awarded but not earned.
As of June 30, 1997, 48,350 RRP shares were available for future issuance. RRP
costs are accrued to operations, and added back to stockholders' equity, over a
four to ten year vesting period.
Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP")
During the year ended June 30, 1994, WVS adopted an ESOP for the benefit of
officers and employees who have met certain eligibility requirements related to
age and length of service. An ESOP Trust was created, and acquired 80,500 shares
of common stock in WVS' initial public offering, using proceeds of a loan
obtained from WVS, which bears interest at one quarter point over the prime
rate, adjusted quarterly. The loan, which is secured by the shares of stock
purchased, calls for quarterly interest and principal payments over a ten year
term.
The Company makes quarterly contributions to the Trust to allow the Trust to
make the required loan payments to WVS. Shares are released from collateral
based upon the proportion of annual principal payments made on the loan each
year and allocated to qualified employees. As shares are released from
collateral, the Company reports compensation expense based upon the amounts
contributed or committed to be contributed each year and the shares become
outstanding for earnings per share computations. Dividends paid on allocated
ESOP shares are recorded as a reduction of retained earnings. Dividends paid on
unallocated shares are added to participant accounts and reported as
compensation. Compensation expense for the ESOP was $487, $291 and $156 for the
years ended June 30, 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

which is included in the allocated share balance as of June 30, 1997. The 600
shares were purchased using vested participant funds.
15. DIRECTOR, OFFICER AND EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
Profit Sharing Plan
The Company maintains a non-contributory pension plan for its officers and
employees who have met the age and length of service requirements. The plan is a
defined contribution plan with the contributions based on a percentage of
salaries of the plan participants. The Company's contributions, which were
charged to expense, were $150, $115, and $110 for the years ended June 30, 1997,
1996 and 1995, respectively.
Directors' Deferred Compensation Plan
The Company maintains a deferred compensation plan (the "plan") for directors
who elect to defer all or a portion of their directors' fees. Deferred fees are
paid to the participants in installments commencing in the year following the
year the individual is no longer a member of the Board of Directors.
The plan allows for the deferred amounts to be paid in shares of common stock at
the prevailing market price on the date of payment. In addition, the plan
permits directors of the Company, who are also employees to defer receipt of a
portion of their other compensation, including salary and bonuses. For fiscal
years ended June 30, 1997, 1996, and 1995, 20,399 shares were held by the
Deferred Compensation Plan.

On August 20, 1996, the Small Business Job Protection Act (the "Act") was signed
into law. The Act eliminated the percentage of taxable income bad debt deduction
for thrift institutions for tax years beginning after December 31, 1995. The Act
provides that bad debt reserves accumulated prior to 1988 be exempt from
recapture. Bad debt reserves accumulated after 1987 are subject to recapture.
The recapture tax will be paid over six years beginning with the 1998 tax year.
At December 31, 1995, the Savings Bank had $1,174 in bad debt reserves in excess
of the base year. Subject to prevailing corporate tax rates, the Savings Bank
owes approximately $393 in federal income taxes which is reflected as a deferred
tax liability.
No valuation allowance was established at June 30, 1997 and 1996, in view of
WVS' ability to carryback to taxes paid in previous years, future anticipated
taxable income, which is evidenced by WVS' earnings potential, and deferred tax
liabilities at June 30.

17. REGULATORY RESTRICTIONS
Cash and Due from Banks
The Federal Reserve requires the Savings Bank to maintain certain reserve
balances. The required reserves are computed by applying prescribed ratios to
the Savings Bank's average deposit transaction account balances. As of June 30,
1997 and 1996, the Savings Bank had required reserves of $560 and $502,
respectively. The required reserves are held in the form of vault cash and a
non-interest bearing depository balance maintained directly with the Federal
Reserve.
Loans
Federal law prohibits the Company from borrowing from the Savings Bank unless
the loans are secured by specific obligations. Further, such secured loans are
limited in amount to ten percent of the Savings Bank's capital surplus.
Regulatory Restrictions
The Savings Bank is subject to the Pennsylvania Banking Code which restricts the
availability of surplus for dividend purposes. At June 30, 1997, surplus funds
of $3,363 were not available for dividends.

18. CONVERSION AND REORGANIZATION
WVS was formed July, 1993, as a bank holding company to acquire 100 percent of
the common stock of the Savings Bank in a conversion from the mutual to the
stock form of ownership. A public offering of WVS' common stock was completed
November 29, 1993, through the sale of 1,763,300 shares of $ .01 par value
common stock at $10 per share. WVS acquired the Savings Bank by exchanging
$3,363 of the proceeds received in the public offering for all of the common
stock of the Savings Bank.
In accordance with regulations at the time that the Savings Bank converted from
a mutual savings bank to a stock savings bank, a portion of retained earnings
was restricted by establishing a liquidation account. The liquidation account
will be maintained for the benefit of eligible account holders who continue to
maintain their accounts at the Savings Bank after the conversion. The
liquidation account will be reduced annually to the extent that eligible account
holders have reduced their qualifying deposits. Subsequent increases will not
restore an eligible account holder's interest in the liquidation account. In the
unlikely event of a complete liquidation of the Savings Bank, each account
holder will be entitled to receive a distribution from the liquidation account
in an amount proportionate to the current adjusted qualifying balances for the
accounts then held.
19. SAVINGS ASSOCIATION INSURANCE FUND RECAPITALIZATION
On September 30, 1996, the President signed into law legislation which included
recapitalization of the Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF") of the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") by a one-time charge to
SAIF-insured institutions of 65.7 basis points per one hundred dollars of
insurable deposits. The gross effect to the Savings Bank amounted to $1,138,
which is reflected in the consolidated results of operations for the year ended
June 30, 1997.

20. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued)
Financial instruments are defined as cash, evidence of an ownership interest in
an entity, or a contract which creates an obligation or right to receive or
deliver cash or another financial instrument from or to a second entity on
potentially favorable or unfavorable terms.
Fair value is defined as the amount at which a financial instrument could be
exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a
forced or liquidation sale. If a quoted market price is available for a
financial instrument, the estimated fair value would be calculated based upon
the market price per trading unit of the instrument.
If no readily available market exists, the fair value estimates for financial
instruments should be based upon management's judgment regarding current
economic conditions, interest rate risk, expected cash flows, future estimated
losses and other factors, as determined through various option pricing formulas
or simulation modeling. As many of these assumptions result from judgments made
by management based upon estimates which are inherently uncertain, the resulting
estimated values may not be indicative of the amount realizable in the sale of a
particular financial instrument. In addition, changes in the assumptions on
which the estimated values are based may have a significant impact on the
resulting estimated values.
As certain assets and liabilities, such as deferred tax assets, premises and
equipment, and many other operational elements of WVS are not considered
financial instruments, but have value, this estimated fair value of financial
instruments would not represent the full market value of WVS.
Estimated fair values have been determined by WVS using the best available data,
as generally provided in internal Savings Bank reports and regulatory reports,
using an estimation methodology suitable for each category of financial
instruments. The estimation methodologies used are as follows:
Cash, Due from Banks, Interest-Earning Demand Deposits, Accrued Interest
Receivable and Payable, Advance Payments by Borrowers for Taxes and Insurance,
and Other Borrowings
The fair value approximates the current book value.
Investment Securities, Mortgage-backed Securities and FHLB stock
The fair value of investment and mortgage-backed securities held to maturity is
equal to the available quoted market price. If no quoted market price is
available, fair value is estimated using the quoted market price for similar
securities. The fair value of securities available for sale is equal to the
current carrying value. Since the FHLB stock is not actively traded on a
secondary market and held exclusively by member financial institutions, the
estimated fair market value approximates the carrying amount.
Net Loans Receivable and Deposits
Fair value for consumer mortgage loans is estimated using market quotes or
discounting contractual cash flows for prepayment estimates. Discount rates were
obtained from secondary market sources, adjusted to reflect differences in
servicing, credit, and other characteristics.
The estimated fair values for consumer, fixed rate commercial and multi-family
real estate loans are estimated by discounting contractual cash flows for
prepayment estimates. Discount rates are based upon rates generally charged for
such loans with similar credit characteristics.
The estimated fair value for nonperforming loans is the appraised value of the
underlying collateral adjusted for estimated credit risk.

(In thousands, except per share data)
20. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued)
Net Loans Receivable and Deposits (Continued)
Demand, savings, and money market deposit accounts are reported at book value.
The fair value of certificates of deposit is based upon the discounted value of
the contractual cash flows. The discount rate is estimated using average market
rates for deposits with similar average terms.
FHLB Advances
The fair value of fixed rate advances are estimated using discounted cash flows,
based on current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing
arrangements. The carrying amount on variable rate advances approximates their
fair value.
Commitments to Extend Credit
These financial instruments are generally not subject to sale and estimated fair
values are not readily available. The carrying value, represented by the net
deferred fee arising from the unrecognized commitment, and the fair value
determined by discounting the remaining contractual fee over the term of the
commitment using fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements with
similar credit risk, are not considered material for disclosure. The contractual
amounts of unfunded commitments are presented in Note 12 to these financial
statements.
