SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation The consolidated financial statements of PHSB Financial Corporation (the "Company") include it's wholly-owned subsidiary, Peoples Home Savings Bank (the "Bank") and the Bank's wholly-owned subsidiary, HOMECO (the "Subsidiary"). All 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. Cash Flow Information The Company has defined cash and cash equivalents as cash and amounts due from depository institutions and interest-bearing deposits with other institutions. For the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, the Company made cash payments for interest of $6,775,912 and $8,027,608 respectively. The Company also made cash payments for income taxes of $733,977 and $606,925 respectively, during these same periods. 9 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." 10 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.

Interest earned on loans increased $369,000 or 13.5%, in 2002.

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.

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 risk-based capital of 6% and total risk - based capital of 10% risk-based assets to be considered well capitalized. The Bank's leverage ratio was 12.1% at September 30, 2002. Current regulations require a leveraged ratio 5% to be considered well capitalized. 14 Risk Elements 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.

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.
