                           PHSB FINANCIAL CORPORATION
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)


NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The  consolidated  financial  statements  of  PHSB  Financial  Corporation  (the
"Company") include its 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-Q 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, 2002.

Recent Accounting Standards

In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("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
adoption of this statement,  which was effective January 1, 2003, did not have a
material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

In April 2002, the FASB issued FAS No. 145,  Rescission 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 APB Opinion No. 30 will now be used to classify those gains and losses.  This
statement  also amends 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.  The provisions of this statement
related  to the  rescission  of FAS No.  4 shall  be  applied  in  fiscal  years
beginning after May 15, 2002. Any gain or loss on  extinguishments  of debt that
was classified as an extraordinary item in prior periods presented that does not
meet the criteria in APB Opinion No. 30 for  classification  as an extraordinary
item shall be  reclassified.  Early adoption of the provisions of this statement
related to FAS No. 13 shall be effective for  transactions  occurring  after May
15,  2002.  All  other  provisions  of this  statement  shall be  effective  for
financial  statements  issued on or after May 15,  2002.  The  adoption  of this
statement 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

                                        8



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 is
effective for exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002. The
adoption  of this  statement  did not have a  material  effect on the  Company's
financial  position or results of  operations.  On December 31,  2002,  the FASB
issued FAS No. 148,  Accounting  for  Stock-Based  Compensation - Transition and
Disclosure,  which amends FAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based  Compensation.
FAS No. 148 amends the  disclosure  requirements  of FAS No. 123 to require more
prominent  and more  frequent  disclosures  in  financial  statements  about the
effects  of  stock-based  compensation.  Under the  provisions  of FAS No.  123,
companies that adopted the preferable,  fair value based method were required to
apply that method prospectively for new stock option awards. This contributed to
a "ramp- up" effect on stock-based  compensation  expense in the first few years
following adoption,  which caused concern for companies and investors because of
the lack of consistency in reported  results.  To address that concern,  FAS No.
148 provides two additional  methods of transition that reflect an entity's full
complement  of  stock-based  compensation  expense  immediately  upon  adoption,
thereby  eliminating the ramp-up  effect.  FAS No. 148 also improves the clarity
and  prominence  of  disclosures  about the pro forma  effects of using the fair
value  based  method  of  accounting  for  stock-based   compensation   for  all
companies--regardless  of the accounting method used--by requiring that the data
be  presented  more  prominently  and  in a  more  user-friendly  format  in the
footnotes to the financial statements.  In addition,  the statement improves the
timeliness of those  disclosures by requiring that this  information be included
in interim as well as annual financial  statements.  The transition guidance and
annual  disclosure  provisions  of FAS No. 148 are  effective  for fiscal  years
ending after December 15, 2002,  with earlier  application  permitted in certain
circumstances.  The interim  disclosure  provisions  are effective for financial
reports  containing  financial  statements for interim  periods  beginning after
December 15, 2002.

In April,  2003,  the FASB issued FAS No. 149,  Amendment  of  Statement  133 on
Derivative  Instruments  and  Hedging  Activities.  This  statement  amends  and
clarifies  accounting for derivative  instruments,  including certain derivative
instruments  embedded in other contracts,  and for hedging  activities under FAS
No. 133. The amendments set forth in FAS No. 149 improve financial  reporting by
requiring  that  contracts  with  comparable  characteristics  be accounted  for
similarly.  In particular,  this statement  clarifies under what circumstances a
contract with an initial net investment meets the characteristic of a derivative
as  discussed  in FAS No. 133.  In  addition,  it  clarifies  when a  derivative
contains a financing  component that warrants special reporting in the statement
of cash flows. FAS No. 149 amends certain other existing

                                        9



pronouncements.  Those  changes  will  result in more  consistent  reporting  of
contracts  that are  derivatives  in their  entirety  or that  contain  embedded
derivatives  that warrant separate  accounting.  This statement is effective for
contracts  entered into or modified after June 30, 2003,  except as stated below
and for hedging  relationships  designated  after June 30,  2003.  The  guidance
should be applied prospectively. The provisions of this statement that relate to
FAS No. 133  Implementation  Issues that have been effective for fiscal quarters
that began prior to June 15, 2003,  should  continue to be applied in accordance
with their respective effective dates. In addition,  certain provisions relating
to forward  purchases or sales of when- issued  securities  or other  securities
that do not yet exist,  should be applied to existing  contracts  as well as new
contracts entered into after June 30, 2003.

In November, 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45, Guarantor's Accounting
and Disclosure  requirements for Guarantees,  Including  Indirect  Guarantees of
Indebtedness of Others. This interpretation  elaborates on the disclosures to be
made by a guarantor  in its interim and annual  financial  statements  about its
obligations  under certain  guarantees that it has issued.  This  interpretation
clarifies  that a  guarantor  is  required  to  disclose  (a) the  nature of the
guarantee,  including the approximate  term of the guarantee,  how the guarantee
arose,  and the events or  circumstances  that would  require the  guarantor  to
perform under the guarantee; (b) the maximum potential amount of future payments
under the guarantee;  (c) the carrying amount of the liability,  if any, for the
guarantor's  obligations  under the guarantee;  and (d) the nature and extent of
any recourse provisions or available  collateral that would enable the guarantor
to recover  the  amounts  paid under the  guarantee.  This  interpretation  also
clarifies  that a guarantor  is required to  recognize,  at the  inception  of a
guarantee,  a liability  for the  obligations  it has  undertaken in issuing the
guarantee,  including its ongoing  obligation to stand ready to perform over the
term of the  guarantee  in the event  that the  specified  triggering  events or
conditions occur. The objective of the initial  measurement of that liability is
the fair value of the guarantee at its inception.  The initial  recognition  and
initial  measurement  provisions  of this  interpretation  are  applicable  on a
prospective  basis to  guarantees  issued or modified  after  December 31, 2002,
irrespective of the guarantor's fiscal year-end. The disclosure  requirements in
this interpretation are effective for financial  statements of interim or annual
periods ending after December 15, 2002. The adoption of this  interpretation did
not have a material  effect on the  Company's  financial  position or results of
operations.

In  January,  2003,  the FASB issued  Interpretation  No. 46,  Consolidation  of
Variable Interest Entities,  in an effort to expand upon and strengthen existing
accounting  guidance  that  addresses  when  a  company  should  include  in its
financial  statements the assets,  liabilities and activities of another entity.
The  objective  of this  interpretation  is not to restrict  the use of variable
interest entities but to improve financial  reporting by companies involved with
variable  interest  entities.  Until now,  one company  generally  has  included
another entity in its  consolidated  financial  statements only if it controlled
the  entity  through  voting  interests.  This  interpretation  changes  that by
requiring a variable  interest  entity to be  consolidated  by a company if that
company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss from the variable  interest
entity's  activities or entitled to receive a majority of the entity's  residual
returns or both. The  consolidation  requirements of this  interpretation  apply
immediately to variable  interest  entities  created after January 31, 2003. The
consolidation  requirements  apply to older entities in the first fiscal year or
interim  period  beginning  after  June  15,  2003.  Certain  of the  disclosure
requirements  apply in all financial  statements  issued after January 31, 2003,
regardless of when the variable interest entity was established. The adoption of
this  statement  has not and is not  expected  to have a material  effect on the
Company's financial position or results of operations.

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.

                                       10



For the three  months  ended  March 31,  2003 and 2002,  the  Company  made cash
payments for interest of $2,190,000  and  $2,214,000  respectively.  The Company
also made cash  payments for income  taxes of $37,000 and $37,000  respectively,
during these same periods.


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.

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  Reform  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@).  The Securities and Exchange  Commission (the "SEC") has promulgated
new regulations pursuant to the Act, and 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 implemented by the SEC,
publicly-registered  companies,  such as the Company,  are subject to additional
and more cumbersome reporting regulations and disclosure. These new regulations,
which are  intended to curtail  corporate  fraud,  require  certain  officers to
personally  certify  certain SEC filings and  financial  statements  and 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 may increase noninterest 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.


Financial Condition

Total assets at March 31, 2003 of $343.5 million  represented a decrease of $2.0
million or 0.6% from  December 31, 2002.  This  decrease was  primarily due to a
decrease in securities of $6.0  million,  partially  offset by decreases in cash
and  interest  bearing  deposits of $2.1 million and loans , net of allowance of
$1.3 million.

At  March  31,  2003,  investment  securities  (available  for  sale and held to
maturity)  decreased  $13.6  million  to $32.9  million  from  $46.5  million at
December 31, 2002.  Mortgage-backed  securities  (available for sale and held to
maturity) increased $7.6 million to $122.1 million at March 31, 2003 from $114.5
million  at  December  31,  2002.  The total  decrease  of $6.0  million  to the
investment and  mortgage-backed  securities  portfolios  (available for sale and
held to maturity) was the result of sales of $1.3  million,  maturities of $15.6
million,  and  principal  repayments  of  $15.3  million,  partially  offset  by
purchases of $26.6 million.

Loans  receivable,net  at March 31,  2003,  of  $167.0  million  represented  an
increase of $1.3 million from $165.7  million at December 31, 2002. The increase
in the loan  portfolio was primarily  attributable  to automobile and commercial
lending.

                                       12



Total deposits after interest credited at March 31, 2003 were $237.4 million, an
increase of $5.0 million or 2.2% from $232.4 million at December 31, 2002.

Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh decreased $4.7 million to
$56.3 million at March 31, 2003 from $61.0 million at December 31, 2002.

Stockholders'  equity  decreased  $2.5  million for the three month period ended
March 31, 2003.  This decrease was due to treasury  stock and  restricted  stock
purchases of $1.8 million and $848,000  along with decreased  accumulated  other
comprehensive  income of $307,000 and cash  dividends  paid of  $303,000.  These
decreases  to  stockholders'  equity  were  partially  offset  by net  income of
$652,000 along with decreases in unallocated ESOP and RSP shares of $100,000 and
$63,000 respectively.


Results of Operations


Comparison  of  Operating  Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2003 and
March 31, 2002.

General.
Net income for the three  months  ended March 31, 2003  decreased  by $10,000 to
$652,000, from $662,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2002. This decrease
was  primarily  due to  decreased  net  interest  income of  $81,000  along with
increases in provisions for loan losses and  noninterest  expense of $10,000 and
$184,000,  respectively.  These decreases to net income were partially offset by
increased noninterest income of $197,000 and a decrease in income tax provisions
of $68,000.

Net Interest Income.
Reported  net  interest  income  decreased  $81,000 or 3.2% for the three months
ended March 31, 2003. Net interest income on a tax equivalent basis decreased by
$22,000  or 0.8% in a period  when both  average  interest  earning  assets  and
average  interest-bearing  liabilities  increased  (increased  $21.7 million and
$25.5  million,  respectively).  The Company's net interest rate spread on a tax
equivalent  basis  decreased 13 basis points to 2.81% for the three months ended
March 31, 2003.

Interest Income.
Reported  interest  income  decreased  $114,000 to $4.8  million for the quarter
ended March 31, 2003, from $4.9 million for the first quarter of 2002.  Interest
income on a tax equivalent basis totaled $5.0 million for the three months ended
March 31,  2003,  a decrease of $55,000 or 1.1% from $5.1  million for the three
months ended March 31, 2002. This decrease was primarily due to a 49 basis point
decrease in the yield earned,  partially  offset by an increase in the Company's
average  interest-earning  assets of $21.7  million for the three  months  ended
March 31, 2003.  Interest earned on loans increased  $296,000 or 10.7%, in 2003.
This  increase  was due to a $25.1  million  increase in the average  balance of
loans  partially  offset  by a 44 basis  point  decrease  in the  yield  earned.
Interest earned on interest-bearing  deposits and investment and mortgage-backed
securities  (including securities held for sale) decreased $351,000 or 15.1%, in
2003.  This decrease was due to a decrease in the average  balance of securities
of $3.4 million along with a 73 basis point decrease in the yield earned.

Interest Expense.
Interest  expense  decreased  $32,000 to $2.3 million for the three months ended
March 31,  2003.  The  decrease in interest  expense was due to a 36 basis point
decrease in the average cost of interest-bearing  liabilities to 3.21% partially
offset by a $25.5 million increase in the average balance of interest-bearing

                                       13



liabilities.   The  $25.5   million   increase   in  the   average   balance  of
interest-bearing  liabilities  was the result of increased  average  deposits of
$22.4 million and increased average borrowings of $3.1 million.

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 $10,000 to $190,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 2003,  from $180,000 for the three months ended March 31,
2002. An increase in total loans as well as an increase in non-performing  loans
precipitated  the increase in the provision  for loan losses.  At both March 31,
2003 and December 31, 2002 the  allowance for loan losses  represented  1.01% of
loans. See "Risk Elements."

Noninterest Income.
Total  noninterest  income  increased  $197,000 to $430,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 2003,  from  $233,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2002.
This  increase was  primarily  due to  increased  investment  security  gains of
$171,000  from $5,000 for the three  months ended March 31, 2002 to $176,000 for
the three months ended March 31, 2003.

Noninterest Expense.
Noninterest  expense increased $184,000 to $1,873,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 2003,  from $1,689,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2002. This
increase was primarily due to increased  compensation  and employee  benefits of
$155,000  which was  primarily the result of normal merit  increases  along with
increased RSP expense as a result of the 2002 RSP plan which was ratified by the
Company's  stockholders  at a special  meeting of  stockholders  on December 23,
2002.

                                       14



Liquidity and Capital Resources

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 March 31, 2003,  the Bank had
borrowed $56.3 million of it's $155.8 million maximum borrowing  capacity with a
remaining borrowing capacity of approximately $99.5 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.

Regulatory Capital Requirements

At March 31, 2003,  the Bank's Tier I risk-based  and total  risk-based  capital
ratios were 24.5% and 25.6%,  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 11.5% at March
31, 2003. Current regulations require a leveraged ratio 5% to be considered well
capitalized.

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 March 31, 2003 and December  31, 2002. 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 278.4% of total non-performing assets at March
31, 2003 and 379.3% at December 31, 2002.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk
- -------  ---------------------------------------------------------

The  Company,  like many  other  financial  institutions,  is  vulnerable  to an
increase  in  interest  rates to the extent  that  interest-bearing  liabilities
generally  mature or reprice  more  rapidly than  interest-earning  assets.  The
lending  activities of the Company have historically  emphasized the origination
of  long-term,  fixed rate loans secured by single  family  residences,  and the
primary source of funds has been deposits with substantially shorter maturities.
While having  interest-bearing  liabilities  that reprice more  frequently  than
interest-earning  assets is generally beneficial to net interest income during a
period  of  declining  interest  rates,  such  an  asset/liability  mismatch  is
generally detrimental during periods of rising interest rates.

To reduce the effect of interest rate changes on net interest income the Company
has  adopted   various   strategies   to  enable  it  to  improve   matching  of
interest-earning asset maturities to interest-bearing  liability maturities. The
principal  elements  of these  strategies  include:  (1)  purchasing  investment
securities  with  maturities  that  match  specific  deposit   maturities;   (2)
emphasizing  origination of shorter-term  consumer  loans,  which in addition to
offering  more rate  flexibility,  typically  bear  higher  interest  rates than
residential mortgage loans; and (3) purchasing  adjustable-rate  mortgage-backed
securities as well as  mortgage-backed  securities  with balloon  payments which
have shorter  maturities  than typical  mortgage-  backed  securities.  Although
consumer  loans  inherently   generally   possess  a  higher  credit  risk  than
residential mortgage loans, the Company has designed its underwriting  standards
to minimize this risk as much as possible.

The Company also makes a significant effort to maintain its level of lower costs
deposits as a method of enhancing  profitability.  The Company has traditionally
had a high level of low-cost passbook, interest-bearing checking (NOW) and Money
Market  Demand  Accounts.  Although its base of such deposits has increased as a
result  of  the  current   interest   rate   environment,   such  deposits  have
traditionally  remained  relatively  stable and would be  expected  to reduce to
normal  levels in a period of rising  interest  rates.  Because of this relative
stability in a significant portion of its deposits, the Company has been able to
offset the impact of rising rates in other deposit accounts.

Exposure  to  interest  rate  risk is  actively  monitored  by  management.  The
Company's  objective is to maintain a consistent level of  profitability  within
acceptable  risk  tolerances  across a broad range of  potential  interest  rate
environments.  The Company uses the Olson Research Associates, Inc.'s, Columbia,
Maryland,  A/L  Benchmarks to monitor its exposure to interest rate risk,  which
calculates  changes in market value of portfolio equity and net interest income.
Reports generated from assumptions  provided by Olson and modified by management
are reviewed by the Interest Rate Risk and Asset Liability  Management Committee
and reported to the Board of Directors quarterly. The Balance Sheet Shock Report
shows the degree to which  balance  sheet  line  items and the  market  value of
portfolio  equity  are  potentially  affected  by a 200 basis  point  upward and
downward parallel shift (shock) in the Treasury yield curve. Exception tests are
conducted as recommended under federal law to determine if the bank qualifies as
low risk and may therefore be exempt from supplemental  reporting.  In addition,
the possible  impact on  risk-based  capital is assessed  using the  methodology
under the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act. An Income Shock
Report shows the degree to which income  statement line items and net income are
potentially  affected by a 200 basis point upward and downward parallel shift in
the Treasury yield curve.

From analysis and discussion of the aforementioned reports as of March 31, 2003,
management  has  assessed  that  the  Bank's  level  of  interest  rate  risk is
appropriate for current market conditions. The percentage change in market value
of the portfolio equity for an upward and downward shift of 200 basis points are
(19.02)% and 17.51%,  respectively.  Net interest income decreased by $96,000 or
0.9% for a downward shift in rates of 200 basis points and decreased by $224,000
or 2.2%, for an upward shift of

                                       17



200 basis points. Excess Net Interest Rate Risk was within those limits outlined
in the Bank's  Asset/Liability  Management  and Interest  Rate Risk Policy.  The
Bank's  calculated  (total)  risk-based  capital  before the interest  rate risk
impact was 25.55 % and 20.55% after the interest rate risk impact.  Results fall
within policy limits for all applicable tests.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures
- -------  -----------------------

         (a) Evaluation of disclosure  controls and  procedures.  Based on their
             --------------------------------------------------
evaluation  as of a date  within 90 days of the  filing  date of this  Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q, the Registrant's  principal executive officer and principal
financial officer have concluded that the Registrant's  disclosure  controls and
procedures  (as defined in Rules  13a-14(c) and 15d-14(c)  under the  Securities
Exchange  Act of 1934  (the  "Exchange  Act"))  are  effective  to  ensure  that
information  required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or
submits under the Exchange Act is recorded,  processed,  summarized and reported
within the time periods  specified in Securities and Exchange  Commission  rules
and forms.

         (b) Changes in internal controls.  There were no significant changes in
             ----------------------------
the Registrant's  internal controls or in other factors that could significantly
affect these controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation,  including any
corrective  actions  with  regard  to  significant   deficiencies  and  material
weaknesses.
