If your signed proxy specifies instructions with respect to matters being voted upon, your shares will be voted in accordance with your instructions. If no instructions are specified, your shares will be voted (a) FOR the election of directors named in Proposal 1, (b) FOR Proposal 2 (ratification of independent public accountants); and (c) in the discretion of the proxy holders, as to any other matters that may properly come before the Meeting.

On the record date, there were 302,684 shares of the Company's common stock outstanding (the "Common Stock"). Each stockholder of record on the record date is entitled to one vote for each share held. The Articles of Incorporation of the Company (the "Articles of Incorporation") provide that in no event shall any record owner of any outstanding Common Stock which is beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by a person who beneficially owns in excess of 10% of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock (the "Limit") be entitled or permitted to any vote with respect to the shares held in excess of the Limit. Beneficial ownership is determined pursuant to the definition in the Articles of Incorporation and includes shares beneficially owned by such person or any of his or her affiliates (as such terms are defined in the Articles of Incorporation), or which such person or any of his or her affiliates has the right to acquire upon the exercise of conversion rights or options and shares as to which such person or any of his or her affiliates or associates have or share investment or voting power, but neither any employee stock ownership or similar plan of the Company or any subsidiary, nor any trustee with respect thereto or any affiliate of such trustee (solely by reason of such capacity of such trustee), shall be deemed, for purposes of the Articles of Incorporation, to beneficially own any Common Stock held under any such plan. The presence in person or by proxy of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock entitled to vote (after subtracting any shares held in excess of the Limit) is necessary to constitute a quorum at the Meeting. With respect to any matter, any shares for which a broker indicates on the proxy that it does not have discretionary authority as to such shares to vote on such matter (the "Broker Non- Votes") will not be considered present for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present. In the event there are not sufficient votes for a quorum or to ratify any proposals at the time of the Meeting, the Meeting may be adjourned in order to permit the further solicitation of proxies. As to the election of directors, the proxy being provided by the Board enables a stockholder to vote for the election of the nominees as submitted as Proposal 1, proposed by the Board, or to withhold authority to vote for the nominee being proposed. Directors are elected by a plurality of votes of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at a meeting and entitled to vote in the election of directors. As to the ratification of the independent accountants, which is submitted as Proposal 2, a stockholder may: (i) vote "FOR" the ratification; (ii) vote "AGAINST" the ratification; or (iii) "ABSTAIN" with respect to the ratification. Unless otherwise required by law, Proposal 2 and all other matters shall be determined by a majority of votes cast affirmatively or negatively without regard to (a) Broker Non-Votes, or (b) proxies marked "ABSTAIN" as to that matter. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PRINCIPAL HOLDERS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Persons and groups owning in excess of 5% of the Common Stock are required to file certain reports regarding such ownership pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act"). The following table sets forth, as of the record date, persons or groups who own more than 5% of the Common Stock and the ownership of all executive officers and directors of the Company as a group. Other than as noted below, management knows of no person or group that owns more than 5% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock at the record date. -2- Percent of Shares of Amount and Nature of Common Stock Name and Address of Beneficial Owner Beneficial Ownership Outstanding (%) - ------------------------------------ -------------------- --------------------- Workingmens Bank Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP") 807 Middle Street Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15212 (1) 26,448 8.7 Jeffrey L.

These shares are held in a suspense account and will be allocated among ESOP participants annually on the basis of compensation as the ESOP debt is repaid. The bank's board of directors has appointed a committee consisting of directors Manfred and Mueller to serve as the ESOP administrative committee ("ESOP Committee") and to serve as the ESOP Trustees ("ESOP Trustees"). The ESOP Committee or the board instructs the ESOP Trustees regarding investment of ESOP plan assets. The ESOP Trustees must vote all shares allocated to participants accounts under the ESOP as directed by participants. Unallocated shares and shares for which no timely voting director is received, will be voted by the ESOP Trustee as directed by the board or the ESOP Committee. As of the record date, 5,951 shares have been allocated under the ESOP to participant accounts. (2) The information as to Jeffrey L. Gendell, Tontine Partners, L.P., and Tontine Management, L.L.C. (collectively, the "Reporting Persons"), is derived from a Schedule 13G, dated February 10, 2000, which states that the Reporting Persons, through certain of its affiliates, had shared voting power and shared dispositive power with respect to 30,050 shares.

Such individuals serving as a member of the ESOP Committee, ESOP trust or RSP trust disclaim beneficial ownership with respect to the ESOP and RSP shares.

To the best of the Company's knowledge, all of the filings by the Company's directors and executive officers were made on a timely basis during the 2000 fiscal year.

S.R. Snodgrass, A.C. was the Company's independent public accountants for the 2000 fiscal year. The Board of Directors has appointed S.R. Snodgrass, A.C. to be its accountants for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2001, subject to ratification by the Company's stockholders. A representative of S.R. Snodgrass, A.C. is expected to be present at the Meeting to respond to stockholders' questions and will have the opportunity to make a statement if the representative so desires. On April 17, 2000, the Board of Directors of the Company engaged S.R. Snodgrass, A.C. as its independent auditors for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2000 and notified, on April 18, 2000, Stokes Kelly & Hinds, LLC ("SKH"), its independent auditors for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, of its decision. The determination to replace SKH was recommended by the audit committee and approved by the full Board of Directors of the Company. The report of SKH for the fiscal years ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the fiscal years ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 and during the subsequent interim periods through May 11, 2000, there were no disagreements between the Company and SKH concerning accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure. Ratification of the appointment of the accountants requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by the stockholders of the Company at the Meeting. The Board of Directors recommends that stockholders vote "FOR" the ratification of the appointment of S.R.
