significant  intercompany  balances and transactions  have been eliminated.  The
Company's business is conducted principally through the Bank.

The accompanying  unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in  accordance  with  instructions  to  Form  10-QSB  and,  therefore,   do  not
necessarily include all information which would be included in audited financial
statements.  The information furnished reflects all normal recurring adjustments
which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair statement of the
results of the period. The results of operations for the interim periods are not
necessarily  indicative  of the results to be expected  for the full year or any
other future period. The unaudited  consolidated  financial statements should be
read in conjunction with Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2001.

Recent Accounting Standards
- ---------------------------

In July, 2001, the Financial  Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement
of  Financial  Accounting  Standards  (FAS)  No.  141,  Business   Combinations,
effective for all business  combinations  initiated after June 30, 2001, as well
as all  business  combinations  accounted  for by the  purchase  method that are
completed  after June 30, 2001.  The new  statement  requires  that the purchase
method of accounting be used for all business combinations and prohibits the use
of the  pooling-of-interests  method.  FAS No. 141 also specifies criteria which
must be met  for  intangible  assets  acquired  in a  purchase  method  business
combination to be recognized  and reported apart from goodwill.  The adoption of
FAS No. 141 did not have a material effect on the Company's  financial  position
or results of operations.

On January  1,  2002,  the  Company  adopted  FAS No.  142,  Goodwill  and Other
Intangible Assets, effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001.
This statement  changes the accounting for goodwill from an amortization  method
to an  impairment-only  approach.  Thus,  amortization  of  goodwill,  including
goodwill  recorded in past  business  combinations,  will cease upon adoption of
this statement. However, this new statement did not amend FAS No. 72, Accounting
for  Certain  Acquisitions  of Banking or Thrift  Institutions,  which  requires
recognition and amortization of unidentified  intangible  assets relating to the
acquisition  of  financial  institutions  or  branches  thereof.  The  FASB  has
undertaken a limited scope project to reconsider the provisions of FAS No. 72 in
2002 and has issued an exposure draft of a proposed  statement,  Acquisitions of
Certain  Financial  Institutions,  that would remove  acquisitions  of financial
institutions  from the  scope  of FAS No.  72.  The  adoption  of this  proposed
statement would require all goodwill originating from acquisitions that meet the
definition of a business  combination  as defined in Emerging  Issues Task Force
Issue ("EITF") No. 98-3 to be discontinued.  The adoption of FAS No. 142 did not
have a  material  effect on the  Company's  financial  position  or  results  of
operations.

In August 2001,  the FASB issued FAS No. 143,  Accounting  for Asset  Retirement
Obligations,  which  requires  that the fair value of a liability be  recognized
when  incurred for the  retirement  of a  long-lived  asset and the value of the
asset  be  increased  by that  amount.  The  statement  also  requires  that the
liability be maintained at its present value in subsequent  periods and outlines
certain  disclosures  for such  obligations.  The new statement takes effect for
fiscal  years  beginning  after June 15, 2002.  The adoption of this  statement,
which is effective January 1, 2003, is not expected to have a material effect on
the Company `s financial statements.

                                       8


On January  1,  2002,  the  Company  adopted  FAS No.  144,  Accounting  for the
Impairment  or Disposal of Long-Lived  Assets.  FAS 144  supercedes  FAS 121 and
applies  to  all  long-lived  assets  (including  discontinued  operations)  and
consequently    amends   APB    Opinion   No.   30,    Reporting    Results   of
Operations-Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business. FAS 144
requires that  long-lived  assets that are to be disposed of by sale be measured
at the lower of book value or fair value less costs to sell. The adoption of FAS
No. 144 did not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.

In April 2002, the FASB issued FAS No. 145,  "Recission of FASB Statement No. 4,
44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical  Corrections".  FAS
No.  145  rescinds  FAS  No.  4,  which  required  all  gains  and  losses  from
extinguishment  of debt to be  aggregated  and, if  material,  classified  as an
extraordinary  item, net of related income tax effect. As a result, the criteria
in  Opinion  30 will  now be used to  classify  those  gains  and  losses.  This
statement   also  amends  FASB  FAS  No.  13  to  require  that  certain   lease
modifications that have economic effects similar to sale-leaseback  transactions
be  accounted  for in the  same  manner  as  sale-leaseback  transactions.  This
statement also makes technical corrections to existing pronouncements, which are
not substantive but in some cases may change accounting practice. FAS No. 145 is
effective for transactions occurring after May 15, 2002. The adoption of FAS No.
145 did not have a  material  effect  on the  Company's  financial  position  or
results of operations.

In July 2002, the FASB issued FAS No. 146,  Accounting for Costs Associated with
Exit or  Disposal  Activities,  which  requires  companies  to  recognize  costs
associated  with exit or disposal  activities when they are incurred rather than
at the date of a commitment to an exit or disposal plan. This statement replaces
EITF Issue No. 94-3,  Liability  Recognition  for Certain  Employee  Termination
Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity  (Including  Certain Costs Incurred
in a  Restructuring).  The new statement  will be effective for exit or disposal
activities  initiated  after  December  31,  2002,  the adoption of which is not
expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.

On  October 1,  2002,  the FASB  issued  FAS No.  147,  Acquisitions  of Certain
Financial Institutions,  effective for all business combinations initiated after
October 1, 2002. This Statement addresses the financial accounting and reporting
for the  acquisition  of all or part of a  financial  institution,  except for a
transaction  between  two or more mutual  enterprises.  This  Statement  removes
acquisitions of financial  institutions,  other than transactions between two or
more mutual  enterprises,  from the scope of FAS No. 72,  Accounting for Certain
Acquisitions of Banking or Thrift  Institutions,  and FASB Interpretation No. 9,
Applying  APB Opinions  No. 16 and 17 When a Savings and Loan  Association  or a
Similar Institution Is Acquired in a Business  Combination  Accounted for by the
Purchase Method. The acquisition of all or part of a financial  institution that
meets the  definition  of a business  combination  shall be accounted for by the
purchase method in accordance with FAS No. 141, Business  Combinations,  and FAS
No. 142,  Goodwill and Other  Intangible  Assets.  This  Statement also provides
guidance on the accounting for the impairment or disposal of acquired  long-term
customer-relationship    intangible    assets    (such   as    depositor-    and
borrower-relationship   intangible  assets  and  credit  cardholder   intangible
assets),  including  those acquired in  transactions  between two or more mutual
enterprises.  Adoption  of this  statement  is not  expected  to have a material
effect on the Companys financial statements.

NOTE 2 - EARNINGS PER SHARE

The Company provides dual  presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share.
Basic  earnings per share is calculated  utilizing net income as reported as the
numerator and average shares outstanding as the denominator.  The computation of
diluted  earnings per share differs in that the dilutive effects of any options,
warrants, and convertible securities are adjusted for in the denominator.

All references to earnings per share have been retroactively adjusted to reflect
the  conversion  which was  completed on December  20, 2001.  As a result of the
conversion  each common share of PHS Bancorp,  Inc. was  converted  into 1.28123
shares of PHSB Financial Corporation common stock.

Shares   outstanding  do  not  include  ESOP  shares  that  were  purchased  and
unallocated  in  accordance  with SOP  93-6,  "Employers'  Accounting  for Stock
Ownership Plans."

                     Management's Discussion and Analysis of
                  Financial Condition and Results of Operations


The Private  Securities  Litigation 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, and general economic conditions.

On July 30, 2002 the President  signed into law the  Sarbanes-Oxley  Act of 2002
(the  "Act"),  following  an  investigative  order  proposed by the SEC on chief
financial officers and chief executive officers of 947 large public companies on
June 27, 2002. Additional regulations are expected to be promulgated by the SEC.
As a result  of the  accounting  restatements  by large  public  companies,  the
passage  of the Act and  regulations  expected  to be  implemented  by the  SEC,
publicly-registered   companies,  such  as  the  Company,  will  be  subject  to
additional and more cumbersome reporting  regulations and disclosure.  These new
regulations, which are intended to curtail corporate fraud, will require certain
officers to personally certify certain SEC filings and financial  statements and
will require additional  measures to be taken by our outside auditors,  officers
and directors.  The loss of investor  confidence in the stock market and the new
laws and  regulations  will  increase  non-interest  expenses of the Company and
could  adversely  affect  the  prices  of  publicly-traded  stocks,  such as the
Company.

On December 20, 2001, PHSB Financial  Corporation (the "Company")  completed its
second step conversion  from a mutual holding company  structure to a full stock
company.  As part of the  mutual  holding  company  reorganization,  the  shares
formerly held by the mutual  holding  company were  cancelled,  the Company sold
2,201,191  new shares to the public and the publicly held shares of PHS Bancorp,
Inc.,  the former  middle tier holding  company,  were  exchanged  for 1,295,918
shares of the Company.

Unless the context  otherwise  indicates,  all references to the Company include
its wholly owned  subsidiary,  Peoples Home Savings Bank (the "Bank").  Prior to
December 20, 2001, all references refer to the Bank and PHS Bancorp, Inc.

Financial Condition

Total assets at September 30, 2002 of $343.0 million  represented an increase of
$27.6 million or 8.8% from December 31, 2001. This increase was primarily due to
increases in loans of $27.2 and securities of $21.8 million, partially offset by
a decrease in cash and interest bearing deposits of $21.0 million.

Loans  receivable,  net at September 30, 2002, of $164.2 million  represented an
increase of $27.2 million from $137.0 million at December 31, 2001. The increase
in the loan portfolio was primarily  attributable to seven loans to local school
districts for a total of $19.9 million made in 2002.  These loans are the result
of  the  Bank's  increased  focus  on  serving  the  financial  needs  of  local
municipalities and school districts.

At September 30, 2002,  investment  securities  (available  for sale and held to
maturity)  increased  $10.8  million  to $60.0  million  from  $49.2  million at
December 31, 2001.  Mortgage-backed  securities  (available for sale and held to
maturity)  increased  $11.0  million to $95.8 million at September 30, 2002 from
$84.8 million at December 31, 2001.  The total  increase of $21.8 million to the
investment and  mortgage-backed  securities  portfolios  (available for sale and
held to  maturity)  were the result of  purchases  of $73.4  million  which were
funded by sales of $9.7  million,  maturities  of $22.2  million,  and principal
repayments  of $21.4 million along with a net increase in Federal Home Loan Bank
advances  of  $7.0  million.   The  securities  sold  were  primarily  municipal
securities.  The sales were  precipitated  by the  increase in  municipal  loans
previously  mentioned  as the Company  desires to maximize  the tax  benefits of
these loans and  securities.  The purchases  funded by advances from the Federal
Home Loan  Bank of  Pittsburgh  were  part of  Peoples  Home  Savings'  leverage
strategy.

                                       11



Total  deposits  after  interest  credited  at  September  30,  2002 were $234.2
million,  an increase of $24.2 million or 11.5% from $210.0  million at December
31, 2001.  This  increase in deposits was  primarily due to $15.9 million in one
year certificates of deposit from local school districts issued in 2002.

Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh increased $7.0 million to
$57.3  million at  September  30, 2002 from $50.3  million at December 31, 2001.
This  increase  was the  result  of  additional  borrowings  to fund  securities
purchases as discussed above.

Stockholders'  equity  decreased  $3.6  million for the nine month  period ended
September 30, 2002.  This decrease was due to treasury  stock  purchases of $6.5
million and cash dividends paid of $848,000.  These  decreases to  stockholders'
equity were partially  offset by net income of $2.1 million along with decreases
in unallocated  ESOP and RSP shares of $190,000 and $43,000  respectively  along
with increased accumulated other comprehensive income of $1.2 million.


Results of Operations


Comparison  of Operating  Results for the Three Months Ended  September 30, 2002
and September 30, 2001.

General.
Net income for the three months ended  September 30, 2002 increased  $174,000 to
$744,000,  from  $570,000 for the three months ended  September  30, 2001.  This
increase was primarily  due to increases in net interest  income of $286,000 and
non-interest income of $98,000 along with a decrease in income tax provisions of
$45,000.These  increases  to net income were  partially  offset by  increases in
non-interest   expense  and  loan  loss  provisions  of  $190,000  and  $65,000,
respectively.

Net Interest Income.
Reported net interest  income  increased  $286,000 or 12.8% for the three months
ended  September  30,  2002.  Net  interest  income  on a tax  equivalent  basis
increased by $405,000 or 17.1%, in a period when both average  interest  earning
assets and  average  interest-bearing  liabilities  increased  (increased  $57.2
million and $37.0 million, respectively). The Company's net interest rate spread
decreased  20 basis points to 2.83% for the three  months  ended  September  30,
2002.

Interest Income.
Interest  income on a tax  equivalent  basis  totaled $5.3 million for the three
months ended  September 30, 2002, an increase of $298,000 or 5.9% over the total
of $5.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001. This increase was
primarily due to an increase in the Company's average interest-earning assets of
$57.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2002, partially offset by
an 88 basis  point  decrease  in the  yield  earned.  Interest  earned  on loans
increased  $369,000 or 13.5%,  in 2002. This increase was due to a $29.4 million
increase in the average balance of loans,  partially  offset by a 59 basis point
decrease in the yield earned.  Interest earned on investment and mortgage-backed
securities  (including  securities held for sale) decreased  $71,000 or 3.1%, in
2002.  This  decrease was due to a 117 basis point  decrease in the yield earned
partially  offset by an increase in the average  balance of  securities of $27.8
million.

Interest Expense.
Interest expense  decreased  $108,000 to $2.6 million for the three months ended
September 30, 2002. The decrease in interest expense was due to a 68 basis point
decrease in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities to 3.52%, partially
offset by a $37  million  increase in the  average  balance of  interest-bearing
liabilities.   The  $37.0   million   increase   in  the   average   balance  of
interest-bearing  liabilities  was the  result of  increased  deposits  of $28.9
million and increased average borrowings of $8.1 million.

                                       12


Provision for Losses on Loans.
The  provision  for loan  losses is  charged  to  operations  to bring the total
allowance for loan losses to a level that represents management's best estimates
of the losses inherent in the portfolio, based on:

o     historical experience;
o     volume;
o     type of lending conducted by the Bank;
o     industry standards;
o     the level and status of past due and  non-performing  loans;
o     the  general economic  conditions in the Bank's lending area; and
o     other factors  affecting the collectibility of the loans in its portfolio.

The  provision  for loan losses  increased  by $65,000 to $195,000 for the three
months  ended  September  30,  2002,  from  $130,000  for the three months ended
September  30,  2001.  Increases  in  loans  precipitated  the  increase  in the
provision  for loan  losses.  At  September  30, 2002 and  December 31, 2001 the
allowance for loan losses  represented 1.01% and 1.09%, of loans,  respectively.
See "Risk Elements."

Non-interest Income.
Total  non-interest  income  increased  $98,000 to $355,000 for the three months
ended September 30, 2002, from $257,000 for the three months ended September 30,
2001.  This increase was primarily due to investment  security  gains of $98,000
for the three months ended September 30, 2002. There were no investment security
gains for the three months ended September 30, 2001.

Non-interest Expense.
Non-interest expense increased $190,000 to $1,751,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 2002,  from  $1,561,000  for the three months ended  September 30,
2001.  This increase was primarily  due to increased  compensation  and employee
benefits of $128,000  which was primarily  the result of normal merit  increases
along with  increased  ESOP expense due to  additional  ESOP shares  acquired in
connection with the conversion and  reorganization  that was effective  December
20, 2001.

Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense  decreased  $45,000 to $177,000  for the three  months  ended
September 30, 2002, from $222,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2001.
This decrease was  primarily due to the increase in tax exempt loans  previously
mentioned, partially offset by increased pre-tax income.


Comparison of Operating Results for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2002 and
September 30, 2001.

General.
Net income for the Nine months ended September 30, 2002 increased by $497,000 to
$2.1 million from $1.6  million for the nine months  ended  September  30, 2001.
This increase was primarily due to increased net interest income of $1.1 million
along with increased  non-interest  income of $121,000.  These  increases to net
income were partially  offset by increases in  non-interest  expense,  loan loss
provisions  and  income  tax  provisions  of  $509,000,  $185,000  and  $52,000,
respectively.

Net Interest Income.
Reported net interest income increased $1.1 million or 17.2% for the nine months
ended  September  30,  2002.  Net  interest  income  on a tax  equivalent  basis
increased  by $1.4  million or 19.6%,  in a period  when both  average  interest
earning assets and average  interest-bearing  liabilities  increased  (increased
$51.4 million and $29.2 million, respectively).  The Company's net interest rate
spread decreased 9 basis points to 2.92% for the nine months ended September 30,
2002.

Interest Income.
Interest  income on a tax  equivalent  basis  totaled $15.6 million for the nine
months ended  September 30, 2002, an increase of $644,000 or 4.3% over the total
of $15.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. This increase was
primarily due to an increase in the Company's average interest-earning assets of
$51.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002,  partially offset by
a 90  basis  point  decrease  in the  yield  earned.  Interest  earned  on loans
increased  $568,000 or 7.0%,  in 2002.  This increase was due to a $20.0 million
increase in the average balance of loans,  partially  offset by a 60 basis point
decrease in the yield earned.  Interest earned on investment and mortgage-backed
securities  (including  securities held for sale) increased  $76,000 or 1.1%, in
2002.  This increase was due to an increase in the average balance of securities
of $31.5  million,  partially  offset by a 111 basis point decrease in the yield
earned.

                                       13


Interest Expense.
Interest  expense  decreased  $719,000 to $7.3 million for the nine months ended
September  30,  2002.  The  decrease in interest  expense was due to an 80 basis
point  decrease in the average cost of  interest-bearing  liabilities  to 3.51%,
partially  offset  by a  $29.2  million  increase  in  the  average  balance  of
interest-bearing  liabilities. The $29.2 million increase in the average balance
of  interest-bearing  liabilities was the result of increased  deposits of $18.6
million and increased average borrowings of $10.6 million.

Provision for Losses on Loans.
The  provision  for loan losses  increased  by $185,000 to $555,000 for the nine
months  ended  September  30,  2002,  from  $370,000  for the nine months  ended
September  30,  2001.  Increases  in  loans  precipitated  the  increase  in the
provision  for loan  losses.  At  September  30, 2002 and  December 31, 2001 the
allowance for loan losses  represented  1.01% and 1.09% of loans,  respectively.
See  "Comparison of Operating  Results for the Three Months Ended  September 30,
2002 and September 30, 2001-  Provision for Losses on Loans and Risk  Elements."
Non-interest  Income.  Total non-interest  income increased $121,000 to $874,000
for the nine months ended  September 30, 2002, from $753,000 for the nine months
ended September 30, 2001.This increase was primarily due to increased Investment
securities gains, net of $90,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002.

Non-interest Expense.
Non-interest  expense increased $509,000 to $5,174,000 for the nine months ended
September  30, 2002,  from  $4,665,000  for the nine months ended  September 30,
2001.  This increase was primarily  due to increased  compensation  and employee
benefits of $339,000  which was primarily  the result of normal merit  increases
along with  increased  ESOP expense due to  additional  ESOP shares  acquired in
connection with the conversion and  reorganization  that was effective  December
20, 2001.

Income Tax Expense
Income tax  expense  increased  $52,000 to $654,000  for the nine  months  ended
September 30, 2002,  from $602,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001.
This increase was primarily due to increased pre-tax income, partially offset by
the increase in tax exempt loans previously mentioned.

Liquidity and Capital Requirements

Liquidity  refers to the Company's  ability to generate  sufficient cash to meet
the funding needs of current loan demand,  savings deposit  withdrawals,  and to
pay  operating  expenses.  The Company has  historically  maintained  a level of
liquid assets in excess of regulatory requirements.  Maintaining a high level of
liquid assets tends to decrease earnings,  as liquid assets tend to have a lower
yield than other  assets with longer  terms (e.g.  loans).  The Company  adjusts
liquidity as appropriate to meet its asset/liability objectives.

The Company's primary sources of funds are deposits, amortization and prepayment
of loans and mortgage-backed securities, maturities of investment securities and
funds  provided  from  operations.  While  scheduled  loan  and  mortgage-backed
securities  repayments  are a relatively  predictable  source of funds,  deposit
flows and loan and mortgage-backed securities prepayments are greatly influenced
by interest rates, economic conditions and competition. In addition, the Company
invests  excess funds in overnight  deposits,  which  provide  liquidity to meet
lending requirements

The  Company  has other  sources of  liquidity  if a need for  additional  funds
arises, such as FHLB of Pittsburgh advances.  At September 30, 2002 the Bank had
borrowed $57.3 million of it's $164.8 million maximum borrowing  capacity with a
remaining borrowing capacity of approximately $107.5 million. Additional sources
of liquidity can be found in the  Company's  balance  sheet,  such as investment
securities  and  unencumbered   mortgage-backed   securities  that  are  readily
marketable.  Management believes that the Company has adequate resources to fund
all of its commitments.

At September 30, 2002, the Bank's Tier I risk-based and total risk-based capital
ratios were 27.1% and 28.2%,  respectively.  Current  regulations require Tier I

Nonperforming Assets

The following  schedule presents  information  concerning  nonperforming  assets
including  nonaccrual  loans,  loans 90 days or more  past due,  and other  real
estate owned at September  30, 2002 and December 31, 2001. A loan is  classified
as nonaccrual when, in the opinion of management, there are serious doubts about
collectibility of interest and principal. At the time the accrual of interest is
discontinued, future income is recognized only when cash is received.

The  allowance  for loan  losses  was 260.2% of total  non-performing  assets at
September 30, 2002 and 254.0% at December 31, 2001.
