THISTLE GROUP HOLDINGS, CO. AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 contains safe harbor
provisions regarding forward-looking statements. When used in this discussion,
the words "believes", anticipates", "contemplates", "expects", and similar
expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements
are subject to certain risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results
to differ materially from those projected. Those risks and uncertainties include
changes in interest rates, risks associated with the effect of opening a new
branch, the ability to control costs and expenses, new legislation and
regulations, year 2000 issues, and general market conditions. Thistle Group
Holdings, Co. undertakes no obligation to publicly release the results of any
revisions to those forward-looking statements which may be made to reflect
events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of
unanticipated events.
General
Thistle Group Holdings, Co. (the "Company") is a Pennsylvania Corporation which
was organized in March 1998 to acquire all of the Capital Stock of
Roxborough-Manayunk Bank (the "Bank") in the Conversion and Reorganization. The
Company is a unitary thrift holding company which, under existing laws,
generally is not restricted in the types of business activities in which it may
engage provided that the Bank retains a specified amount of its assets in
housing-related investments.
The Bank is a federally chartered stock savings bank. The Bank serves the
Pennsylvania counties of Philadelphia and Delaware through its transactional web
site RMBgo.com and a network of six offices, providing a full range of retail
banking services, with emphasis on the origination of one-to-four family
residential mortgages.
The Bank is primarily engaged in attracting deposits from the general public
through its offices and using those and other available sources of funds to
originate and purchase loans secured by one to four-family residences, existing
multi-family residential and nonresidential real estate. In addition, the Bank
originates consumer loans, such as home equity loans and home equity lines of
credit. Such loans generally provide for higher interest rates and shorter terms
than single-family residential real estate loans.
On May 26, 2000, TGH Securities commenced operations. Also, on May 23 and May
25, 2000, the Bank entered into two separate agreements to purchase a total of
five branches in Eastern Pennsylvania. The Branch transactions are expected to
be completed by the end of the third quarter.
Comparison of Financial Condition
The Company had total assets of $592.5 million as of June 30, 2000, representing
an increase of $37.8 million from the balance of $554.8 million as of December
31, 1999. The increase was due mainly to an increase in loans receivable of $30
million funded by $26 million in deposit growth during the quarter.
Cash and cash equivalents decreased $11.9 million or 32% from $37.2 million at
December 31, 1999 to $25.3 million at June 30, 2000 as it was no longer
necessary to keep the higher balance for Y2K concerns.
Investments increased $1.9 million or 2% from $115.5 million at December 31,
1999 to $117.4 million at June 30, 2000 primarily due to a decrease in the
unrealized loss of $1.5 million.
Trading securities were $13.2 million at June 30, 2000. Such securities were the
product of the activities of TGH Securities, which began operations during the
quarter ended June 30, 2000.
Mortgage-backed securities increased $4.7 million or 2% from $204.7 million at
December 31, 1999 to $209.4 at June 30, 2000. This increase was the result of
$31.9 million in purchases offset by $10.0 million in repayments and sales of
$17.6 million.
Loans increased $29.7 million or 19% from $157.2 million at December 31, 1999 to
$186.9 million at June 30, 2000. This increase was the result of $35.7 million
of originations including $18 million of non-residential loans, and $9.2 million
in non-residential loan purchases, offset by principal repayments of $16.2
million. During the quarter the Bank engaged an independent firm to provide
additional detailed loan review and asset quality reports two times a year to
monitor asset quality and adherence to the Bank's underwriting standards.
9
Deposits increased $25.7 million or 9% from $292.6 million at December 31, 1999
to $318.3 million at June 30, 2000. Certificates of deposit increased $25
million, passbook accounts decreased $2.1 million and NOW accounts, transactions
checking and money market accounts increased $2.8 million.
Accounts payable and accrued expenses increased $7.3 million and other
borrowings increased $4.1 million due mainly to activity at TGH Securities.
Amounts represent monies borrowed for securities purchased and due to
brokers/dealers for securities purchased.
Total stockholders' equity increased $1.3 million or 2% from $74.7 million at
December 31, 1999 to $76 million at June 30, 2000 primarily due to the
repurchase of 390,271 shares at an average cost of $6.88 per share and dividends
declared of $893 offset by net income for the six months ended of $2.9 million
and to a decrease in the accumulated other comprehensive loss of $1.4 million
due to improvement in the mark to market adjustment on securities available for
sale, as required by Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 115. Any
movement in general market conditions, including interest rates, competition and
credit quality could result in a material fluctuation on the Company's available
for sale portfolio, and thus its stockholders' equity.

Comparison of Operations for the Three and Six Month Periods Ended June 30, 2000
and 1999
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Net Income. Net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2000
increased $171,000 or 12.1% and $271,000 or 10.3%, respectively, over the same
periods in 1999. The increase for the three-month period is due to an increase
in net interest income of $306,000, and increase of $215,000 in other income
offset by an increase of $339,000 in non-interest expense. The increase for the
six month period is due to an increase in net interest income of $563,000, and
an increase of $405,000 in other income, offset by an increase of $776,000 in
non-interest expense.
Total Interest Income. Interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2000
increased $1.8 million or 21% over the quarter ended June 30, 1999 due primarily
to an increase of $64.4 million in the average balance of interest-earning
assets and an increase in the average yield of 48 basis points. Interest income
for the six months ended June 30, 2000 increased $3.5 million or 22% over the
quarter ended June 30, 1999 due to an increase of $69.3 million in the average
balance of interest-earning assets and an increase in the average yield of 45
basis points.
10
Total Interest Expense. Interest expense for the three months ended June 30,
2000 increased $1.5 million or 31% over the quarter ended June 30, 1999 due
primarily to an increase of $73.0 million in the average balance of
interest-bearing liabilities and an increase of 52 basis points in the average
cost of funds. Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2000 increased
$2.9 million or 32% over the same period of the prior year due to an increase of
$80.8 million in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities and to an
increase of 45 basis points in the average cost of funds.
Net Interest Income. Net interest income for the three months ended June 30,
2000 increased $306,000 or 8% over the quarter ended June 30, 1999 due to the
reasons discussed above. The net interest spread, the difference between the
average rate earned and the average rate paid, decreased by 4 basis points to
2.28% for the three months ended June 30, 2000 from 2.32% for the same period in
1999. Net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2000 increased
$653,000 or 9% as compared to the same period of the prior year due to the
reasons discussed above. The net interest spread for the current six month
period remained relatively constant from the prior year.
Provision for Losses on Loans. The provision for losses on loans for the three
and six months ended June 30, 2000 totaled $120,000 and $240,000, respectively,
as compared to $120,000 and $150,000 for the same periods in 1999. The increase
is attributable to the increase in the loan portfolio as well as a change in the
composition of the portfolio. Provisions for losses included charges to reduce
the recorded balances of mortgage loans receivable and the collateral real
estate to their estimated net realizable value or fair value, as applicable.
Such provisions are based on management's estimate of net realizable value or
fair value of the collateral, as applicable, considering the current operating
or sales conditions, thereby causing these estimates to be particularly
susceptible to changes that could result in a material adjustment to results of
operations in the near term. Recovery of the carrying value of such loans and
its collateral is dependent to a great extent on economic, operating and other
conditions that may be beyond the Company's control. Management will continue 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.
Other Income. Other income for quarter ended June 30, 2000 increased $215,000
over the quarter ended June 30, 1999 due primarily to trading revenues of
$114,000 from TGH Securities and a gain on the sale of a portion of the
Company's equity securities of $333,000, offset by a gain on the sale of equity
securities in the prior year's quarter of $259,000. Non-interest income for the
six months ended June 30, 2000 increased $405,000 over the same period of the
prior year due to the reasons discussed above as well as to a gain on the sale
of mortgage-backed securities of $173,000 to improve the duration and yield of
the investment portfolio.
Other Expenses. Other expenses increased $339,000 or 16% for the quarter ended
June 30, 2000 over the quarter ended June 30, 1999. Salaries and employee
benefits increased $246,000 due to compensation expense related to the
restricted stock plan which began to vest in July 1999, addition of personnel
and normal salary increases offset somewhat by the termination of the pension
plan in December 1999. Occupancy and equipment costs increased $67,000 due to
additional depreciation on current year purchases of office and computer
equipment. Federal insurance premiums decreased $28,000 due to a decrease in the
assessment rate. Professional fees decreased $64,000 as there were additional
legal fees in the quarter ended June 1999 related to the adoption of the
Restricted Stock and Option Plans. Other expense increased $104,000 due to costs
associated with sales training for all employees, operating expenses for TGH
Securities, the management of investments at the Delaware holding companies, an
increase in capital stock tax and small increases in operating costs.
Other expense increased $776,000 or 19% for the six months ended June 30, 2000
over the same period of the prior year. Salaries and employee benefits increased
$535,000, occupancy and equipment increased $125,000, and federal insurance
premiums decreased $55,000 due mainly to the reasons discussed above.
Professional fees decreased $97,000 due to the reason discussed above as well as
to cost savings in the second year of being a public company. Advertising and
promotion increased $76,000 as the Company began a focused strategic marketing
effort in the latter half of 1999 which included among other things additional
media costs for creation and placement of new print ads to a larger geographic
area. Other expenses increased $192,000 due to the reasons discussed above.
Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 was
$438,000 or 22% of pre-tax income as compared to $427,000 or 23% for the quarter
ended June 30, 1999. Income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2000
was $810,000 or 22% of pre-tax income as compared to $889,000 or 25% of pre-tax
income for the same period of the prior year.

======= ========
The Company's primary sources of funds are deposits, borrowings, and proceeds
from principal and interest payments on loans, mortgage-backed securities and
other investments. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and
mortgage-backed securities are a predictable source of funds, deposit flows and
mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic
conditions, competition and the consolidation of the financial institution
industry.
The primary investment activity of the Company is the origination and purchase
of mortgage loans, mortgage-backed securities and other investments. During the
three months ended June 30, 2000, the Company originated $14.6 million of
mortgage loans. The Company also purchases loans and mortgage-backed securities
to reduce liquidity not otherwise required for local loan demand. Purchases of
mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities totaled $10.5 million during the
three-month period ended June 30, 2000. Other investment activities include
investment in U.S. government and federal agency obligations, municipal bonds,
debt and equity investments in financial services firms, FHLB of Pittsburgh
stock, commercial and consumer loans.
The Company has other sources of liquidity if a need for additional funds
arises. In 1999, the Company utilized FHLB advances to leverage its balance
sheet. In addition, other sources of liquidity can be found in the Company's
balance sheet, such as investment securities maturing within one year and
unencumbered mortgage-backed securities that are readily marketable.
The Bank is required to maintain minimum levels of liquid assets as defined by
OTS regulations. The requirement, which may be varied at the direction of the
OTS depending upon economic conditions and deposit flows, is based upon a
percentage of deposits and short-term borrowings. The required minimum ratio is
currently 4.0%. The Bank's liquidity ratio was 10.7% at June 30, 2000.
The Company's most liquid assets are cash and cash equivalents, which include
investments in highly liquid short-term investments. The level of these assets
is dependent on the Company's operating, financing and investing activities
during any given period. At June 30, 2000, cash and cash equivalents totaled
$25.3 million.
The Company anticipates that it will have sufficient funds available to meet its
current commitments. As of June 30, 2000, the Company had $16.5 million in
commitments to fund loans. Certificates of deposit which were scheduled to
mature in one year or less as of June 30, 2000 totaled $104.4 million.
Management believes that a significant portion of such deposits will remain with
the Company.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
- ----------------------------------------------------------
The goal of the Company's asset/liability policy is to manage interest rate risk
so as to maximize net interest income over time in changing interest rate
environments. Management monitors the Company's net interest spreads (the
difference between yields received on assets and rates paid on liabilities) and,
although constrained by market conditions, economic conditions, and prudent
underwriting standards, it offers deposit rates and loan rates in an attempt to
maximize net interest income. Management also attempts to fund the Company's
assets with liabilities of a comparable duration to minimize the impact of
changing interest rates on the Company's net interest income. Since the relative
spread between financial assets and liabilities is constantly changing, the
Company's current net interest income may not be an indication of future net
interest income.
The Company constantly monitors its deposits in an effort to decrease their
interest rate sensitivity. Rates of interest paid on deposits at the Company are
priced competitively in order to meet the Company's asset/liability management
objectives and spread requirements. As of June 30, 2000, the Company's savings
accounts, checking accounts and money market deposit accounts totaled $128.6
million or 40.4% of its total deposits. The Company believes, based on
historical experience, that a substantial portion of such accounts represent
non-interest rate sensitive core deposits.
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for reviewing and approving the
asset and liability policy. The Board meets quarterly to review interest rate
risk and trends, as well as liquidity and capital ratio requirements. The
Company's management is responsible for administering the policy and
determinations of the Board of Directors with respect to the Company's asset and
liability goals and strategies. Management expects that the Company's asset and
liability policy and risk strategies will continue as described above so long as
competitive and regulatory conditions in the financial institution industry and
market interest rates continue as they have in recent years.
There were no significant changes for the six months ended June 30, 2000 from
the information presented in the Form 10K for December 31, 1999, under the
caption "Asset and Liability Management" and "Market Risk Analysis".
