PROSPECTUS
                               SE FINANCIAL CORP.
        (Proposed Holding Company for St. Edmond's Federal Savings Bank)

                     Up to 2,242,500 Shares of Common Stock

         SE  Financial  Corp.  is offering  for sale up to  2,242,500  shares of
common  stock at  $10.00  per share in  connection  with the  conversion  of St.
Edmond's  Federal  Savings Bank from a federal  mutual savings bank to a federal
stock savings bank. As part of the conversion, St. Edmond's Federal Savings Bank
will become a wholly- owned subsidiary of SE Financial Corp.

         We are offering for sale up to 2,242,500 shares of common stock. We may
sell up to 2,578,875  shares  because of changes in market or general  financial
and economic conditions without notifying prospective purchasers. We must sell a
minimum of  1,657,500  shares in order to complete  the  offering.  Purchases of
stock in the offering by our directors  and  executive  officers will be counted
toward such minimum.  The maximum purchase for any person,  or persons through a
single  account,  is 10,000  shares.  The  minimum  purchase  is 25 shares.  The
subscription  offering is expected to terminate on April 19, 2004 at 12:00 noon,
eastern time. We may extend this  termination  date without  notice to you until
June 3, 2004. To the extent that shares remain available and depending on market
conditions  at or near  the  completion  of the  subscription  offering,  we may
conduct a community offering and possibly a syndicated  community offering.  The
community offering, if any, may commence concurrently with, during or subsequent
to the  completion  of the  subscription  offering,  and a syndicated  community
offering, if any, would commence just prior to, or as soon as practicable after,
the termination of the subscription offering.  Once submitted,  orders placed in
the subscription,  community or syndicated  community  offerings are irrevocable
unless the  offerings  are  terminated  or extended  beyond June 3, 2004. We may
request permission from the Office of Thrift Supervision to extend the offerings
beyond  June 3,  2004,  but in no  event  may  the  subscription,  community  or
syndicated  community  offerings be extended beyond May 4, 2006.  Funds received
prior to  completion  of the offering  will be held in an escrow  account at St.
Edmond's  Federal  Savings  Bank and will earn  interest at the savings  account
rate.  In the event the  offering is  terminated  or the minimum is not reached,
funds will be promptly returned with interest.

         There is currently no public market for the stock.  SE Financial  Corp.
anticipates that the stock will be quoted on the OTC Electronic  Bulletin Board.
See Market for the Stock on page 17 of this document.

                                     SUMMARY

This summary  highlights  selected  information  from this  document and may not
contain all the  information  that is important to you. To understand  the stock
offering fully,  you should read this entire document  carefully,  including the
consolidated  financial  statements and the notes to the consolidated  financial
statements of St. Edmond's Federal Savings Bank beginning on page F-1.

                               SE Financial Corp.

                          1901-03 East Passyunk Avenue
                             Philadelphia, PA 19148
                                 (215) 468-1700

         SE Financial Corp. is a new company incorporated under Pennsylvania law
and has not engaged in any  significant  business to date. Its primary  activity
will be owning all the stock of St.  Edmond's  Federal  Savings Bank  (sometimes
referred to herein as the "Bank"). It will invest its initial  capitalization as
discussed  under Use of Proceeds on page 16. In the future,  it may pursue other
business   activities,   including   the   addition   of  branch   offices   and
diversification  of operations.  There are,  however,  no current  arrangements,
understandings or agreements for these activities.

                        St. Edmond's Federal Savings Bank

         St.  Edmond's  Federal  Savings  Bank is a  federally-chartered  mutual
savings bank. It is converting from the mutual to the stock form of ownership as
part of the conversion. At October 31, 2003, the Bank had total assets, deposits
and  retained  earnings  of $87.4  million,  $72.3  million  and  $7.7  million,
respectively.  Approximately  58.1% of total  assets were  comprised of loans at
October 31, 2003.

         St. Edmond's  Federal Savings Bank was originally  chartered in 1912 as
St.   Edmond's   Building   and  Loan   Association.   In  1995,   it  became  a
federally-chartered  savings bank. The Bank's deposits are federally  insured by
the Savings  Association  Insurance Fund as  administered by the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation. The Bank is regulated by the Office of Thrift Supervision
and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

         The  Bank  is  a  community-oriented  savings  organization,  providing
traditional retail banking services. The Bank's lending products include one- to
four-family  residential  mortgage loans (including investor loans and mixed-use
loans),  multi-family  mortgage  loans,  commercial  real estate mortgage loans,
construction loans, home equity loans,  savings account loans and other consumer
loans.  The  Bank's  primary  source  of funds  for its  lending  and  investing
activities is deposits,  with an emphasis on certificates  of deposit.  The Bank
conducts  its  operations  through  its main  office  located  in  Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania and a branch office located in Sewell,  New Jersey. See Business of
St. Edmond's Federal Savings Bank beginning on page 43.

Business Strategy.

         In the future,  our business  strategy  will be to grow and improve our
profitability by:

          o    Emphasizing  one- to four-family  residential real estate lending
               (both owner  occupied and investor  owned),  while  continuing to
               originate multi-family and commercial real estate lending;

          o    Increasing our assets;

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                                        1



- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

          o    Utilizing  the capital  raised in the offering to help manage our
               interest rate risk;

          o    Offering new products and services to our customers; and

          o    Maintaining high asset quality.

How the Conversion Will Occur.

         We will effect the  conversion by exchanging  the Bank's federal mutual
savings bank charter for a federal  stock savings bank charter and the Bank will
become a wholly-owned subsidiary of SE Financial Corp. On the effective date, SE
Financial  Corp. will commence  business as a savings and loan holding  company,
and St.  Edmond's  Federal  Savings  Bank will  continue  its  business but as a
federally-chartered stock savings bank. See pages 77 to 81.

Reasons for the Conversion.

         Over the past several  years,  the Board of  Directors of St.  Edmond's
Federal Savings Bank has  extensively  discussed both long-range and short-range
business  strategies to achieve  profitability  and growth.  The Board concluded
that  operation in the future as a mutual thrift would limit the Bank's  ability
to raise capital and to compete in a changing  business  environment.  The Board
has therefore  determined that it is in the best interest of the Bank to convert
to a stock  association.  The business  purposes for the conversion  include the
following:

o    The  proceeds  from the sale of common  stock of SE  Financial  Corp.  will
     provide the Bank with additional equity capital,  which will support future
     growth  and  expanded  operations.  While the Bank  currently  exceeds  its
     regulatory capital  requirements,  the sale of stock in connection with the
     conversion,  coupled with the  accumulation of earnings,  less dividends or
     other reductions in capital,  from year to year, represents a means for the
     orderly  preservation  and expansion of the Bank's capital base, and allows
     it flexibility to respond to sudden and unanticipated capital needs.

o    We will be in a position  after the  conversion  and  offering,  subject to
     regulatory limitations and our financial position, to take advantage of any
     expansion  or  diversification  opportunities  that may arise.  The holding
     company  form of  organization  is expected  to provide us with  additional
     flexibility to diversify our business  activities through existing or newly
     formed subsidiaries, or through acquisitions or mergers. However, we do not
     have any current  arrangements,  understandings or agreements regarding any
     such opportunities.

Our Use of the Proceeds Raised from the Sale of Stock.

         SE Financial  Corp.  will use at least 50% of the net proceeds from the
offering to purchase  all of St.  Edmond's  Federal  Savings  Bank's  stock.  SE
Financial  Corp.  will also lend St.  Edmond's  Federal  Savings Bank's employee
stock ownership plan cash to enable the plan to buy 8% of the shares sold in the
offering.  The  balance  will  be  retained  as  SE  Financial  Corp.'s  initial
capitalization  and  used for  general  business  purposes,  which  may  include
investment in securities,  paying cash dividends or  repurchasing  shares of its
common stock.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                                        2



- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

         The funds received by St.  Edmond's  Federal  Savings Bank will be used
for  general  business  purposes,  including  originating  loans and  purchasing
securities.  In addition,  the Bank may also use the proceeds of the offering to
expand either through opening or acquiring  branch  offices.  The Bank does not,
however,  have any current  arrangements,  understandings  or agreements for the
expansion of its branch offices. See Use of Proceeds beginning on page 16.

         Assuming  the  sale  of  $16,575,000,   $19,500,000,   $22,425,000  and
$25,788,750 of common stock at the minimum,  midpoint,  maximum and maximum,  as
adjusted,  respectively,  of the offering range, expenses of $466,000, $495,000,
$524,000  and  $558,000,  at the  minimum,  midpoint,  maximum and  maximum,  as
adjusted,  respectively,  and the  purchase of 8% of the shares by the  employee
stock  ownership plan, the following table shows the manner in which we will use
the net proceeds:

$10.00  Per  Share  Stock  Price  and the  Number  of Shares to be Issued in the
Conversion.

         The offering  range is based on an  independent  valuation  prepared by
FinPro,   Inc.,  an  appraisal  firm  experienced  in  appraisals  of  financial
institutions.  FinPro has  determined  that as of March 4, 2004,  our  estimated
aggregate  pro forma  market  value  was $19.5  million,  the  mid-point  of the
valuation range. Pursuant to regulations,  a valuation range of $16.6 million to
$22.4  million  has  been  established,  subject  to  adjustment.  Based on this
valuation  and the $10.00 per share price,  the number of shares of common stock
being issued by SE Financial Corp.  will range from 1,657,500 to 2,242,500.  The
$10.00  per share  price was  selected  primarily  because  it is the price most
commonly used in stock offerings of this type.

         The following  table  compares SE Financial  Corp.'s pro forma price to
core  earnings  multiple  and pro  forma  price to  tangible  book  ratio at the
minimum,  midpoint,  maximum and maximum, as adjusted,  of the offering range to
the median price to core earnings  multiple and price to tangible book ratio for
the comparable publicly traded peer group companies  identified in the valuation
report.  See Pro Forma Data on page 19 for a description of the assumptions used
in  calculating  the pro forma price to core  earnings  multiples  and pro forma
price to tangible  book ratios for SE Financial  Corp.  See The Offering - Stock
Pricing  and the Number of Shares to be Offered on page 90 for more  information
about the procedures used by FinPro in preparing the independent valuation.

(1)  The price/core  earnings  multiples  shown here for SE Financial  Corp. are
     based on core  earnings  as required by  regulatory  appraisal  guidelines,
     while the information  presented in the tables under Pro Forma Data on page
     19 is based on net income.

         The ratios we have  presented  are commonly  requested  by  prospective
investors  in order to determine  whether or not the stock meets the  investor's
investment  criteria.  Because  of  differences  in  important  factors  such as
operating characteristics, financial performance, asset size, capital structure,
and business  prospects between us and other fully converted  institutions,  you
should not rely on these  comparative  valuation  ratios as an  indication as to
whether or not the stock is an appropriate  investment for you. The  independent
valuation is not intended, and must not be construed, as a recommendation of any
kind  as to the  advisability  of  purchasing  the  common  stock.  Because  the
independent  valuation  is based on  estimates  and  projections  on a number of
matters,  all of which are subject to change from time to time, no assurance can
be given that  persons  purchasing  the common  stock will be able to sell their
shares at a price equal to or greater than the purchase price.  See Risk Factors
- - You may not be able to sell your  shares when you desire or for $10.00 or more
per share on page 11, Pro Forma Data on page 19 and The Offering - Stock Pricing
and the Number of Shares to be Offered on page 90.

         We  received  authorization  from the Office of Thrift  Supervision  on
March 15, 2004, based on the independent  valuation,  to issue between a minimum
of 1,657,500 shares and a maximum of 2,242,500 shares. The independent valuation
must be updated and confirmed by FinPro,  Inc.  before we may complete the stock
offering.  Any changes in the appraisal would be subject to regulatory approval.
The maximum  amount of common stock being  offered may be increased by up to 15%
without  notice to persons  who have  subscribed  for stock,  so that a total of
2,578,875  shares could be issued.  If the updated  independent  valuation would
result in more than 2,578,875 shares being issued, we will be required to notify
all persons who have  subscribed and such persons would have the  opportunity to
change or cancel their subscription  orders, and, unless an affirmative response
is received, a subscriber's funds will be returned with interest at St. Edmond's
Federal Savings Bank's regular savings account rate.

The Amount of Stock You May Purchase.

Minimum purchase           = 25 shares
Maximum purchase           = 10,000 shares

The  maximum  number of shares that any  individual  (or  individuals  through a
single  account) may purchase is 10,000.  The maximum  number of shares that any
individual  may purchase  together with any associate or group of persons acting
in concert is 20,000 shares.

The Offering.

         You might not receive any or all of the stock you request. St. Edmond's
Federal Savings Bank has granted  subscription  rights in the following order of
priority:

o    Priority 1 - depositors of St.  Edmond's  Federal Savings Bank at the close
     of business on December 31, 2002, with deposits of at least $50.00.

o    Priority 2 - the tax qualified employee stock benefit plans of St. Edmond's
     Federal Savings Bank.

o    Priority 3 - depositors  as of March 9, 2004 and  borrowers as of September
     29, 1995 who  continue as borrowers as of the close of business on March 9,
     2004.

         The subscription  offering will terminate at 12:00 noon,  eastern time,
on April 19, 2004. We may extend this  expiration date without notice to you for
up to 45 days,  until June 3, 2004.  Once  submitted,  your order is irrevocable
unless the offering is extended  beyond June 3, 2004. We may request  permission
from the Office of Thrift  Supervision  to extend the  offering  beyond  June 3,
2004,  but in no event may the offering be extended  beyond May 4, 2006.  If the
offering  is extended  beyond  June 3, 2004,  we will be required to notify each
subscriber and resolicit subscriptions. During any extension period, subscribers
will have the right to modify or rescind  their  subscriptions,  and,  unless an
affirmative  response is received,  a  subscriber's  funds will be returned with
interest at St. Edmond's Federal Savings Bank's regular savings account rate.

         We may cancel the offering at any time prior to the special  meeting of
members  of the Bank to vote on the plan of  conversion.  If we do,  orders  for
common stock already  submitted will be canceled and subscribers'  funds will be
returned with interest.

         We may also offer  shares of common stock in a community  offering.  In
the community offering,  people who reside in Philadelphia County,  Pennsylvania
and Gloucester County,  New Jersey will have first preference.  This part of the
offering may commence  concurrently  with the subscription  offering or any time
thereafter  and may terminate at any time without  notice but no later than June
3, 2004.

         Shares  not  sold in the  subscription  or  community  offering  may be
offered for sale in a syndicated community offering,  which would be an offering
to the general  public on a best efforts basis by a syndicate of broker  dealers
managed  by Sandler  O'Neill &  Partners,  L.P.  This part of the  offering  may
terminate at any time without notice but no later than June 3, 2004.

         You  cannot  transfer  your  subscription  rights.  If you  attempt  to
transfer  your  rights,  you may lose the right to  purchase  shares  and may be
subject to criminal  prosecution  and/or other sanctions.  With the exception of
IRA stock  purchases,  shares  purchased in the  subscription  offering  must be
registered in the names of all depositors on the qualifying account(s). Deleting
depositors or adding non-depositors or otherwise altering the form of beneficial
ownership of a qualifying account will void your subscription order.

         We have the  right to reject  any  orders  for  stock in the  community
offering and syndicated  community  offering.  We have described the offering in
greater detail beginning on page 81.

Stock Benefit Plans for Management.

         In order to tie our  employees',  officers'  and  directors'  interests
closer to our  stockholders'  interests,  we intend to establish certain benefit
plans that use our stock as  compensation.  Officers,  directors,  and employees
will not be  required  to pay cash in  exchange  for shares  received  under the
employee stock ownership plan ("ESOP") or restricted shares but will be required
to pay the exercise price to exercise options.

         The following table presents information  regarding the participants in
each plan, the total amount,  the percentage,  and the dollar value of the stock
that  we  intend  to set  aside  for  the  employee  stock  ownership  plan  and
stock-based  incentive  plans.  The table below  assumes  the sale of  1,950,000
shares in the  offering.  It is assumed that the value of the stock in the table
is  $10.00  per  share.  See  pages  74 to75  for  more  information,  including
regulatory  restrictions  on the  maximum  amount of benefits  participants  may
receive and the rate at which benefits may be earned under the incentive plans.



                                                      Estimated                   Percentage of

- -------------
(1)  Options are given no value  because their  exercise  price will be equal to
     the fair market value of the stock on the day the options are granted. As a
     result,  anyone who receives an option will only benefit from the option if
     the price of the stock  rises  above the  exercise  price and the option is
     exercised.

         Stockholders  will  experience  a reduction  or  dilution in  ownership
interest  of  approximately  12.3% if we use  newly-issued  shares to fund stock
options and stock awards made under these plans (dilution of approximately  9.1%
for the stock option plan and 3.8% for the  restricted  stock  plan).  It is our
intention to fund these plans through open market purchases.

Dividend Policy.

         The Board of  Directors  has not yet  determined  whether SE  Financial
Corp. will pay cash dividends  after the  conversion.  There can be no assurance
that  dividends  will in fact be paid on the stock or that,  if paid,  dividends
will not be reduced or  eliminated  in future  periods.  The timing,  amount and
frequency  would  be  determined  by the  Board  of  Directors.  There  are also
restrictions on our ability to pay dividends. See Use of Proceeds on page 16 and
Dividend Policy on page 17.



Conditions to Be Satisfied to Complete the Offering and Issue the Stock.

         The following  must occur before we can complete the offering and issue
our stock:

o    We must  receive  all the  required  approvals  from the  Office  of Thrift
     Supervision;

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                                        6



- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

o    St. Edmond's  Federal Savings Bank's members must approve the conversion by
     a majority of votes eligible to be cast; and

o    We must sell at least the minimum number of shares offered.

Proposed Stock Purchases by Management.

         Our directors and executive  officers,  together with their associates,
are expected to purchase  approximately 101,500 shares of stock in the offering,
5.2% if a total of 1,950,000  shares,  the midpoint of the offering  range,  are
sold.  The  purchase  price paid by them will be the same $10.00 per share price
paid by all other  persons who purchase  shares of common stock in the offering.
Purchases  of common  stock in the  offering  by these  persons  will be counted
toward the  minimum of  1,657,500  shares that must be sold in order to complete
the conversion and offering.  Management  may, but is not required to,  purchase
additional shares in the offering to satisfy the minimum. See page 76.

Market for the Stock.

         We expect the stock to be traded on the  over-the-counter  market  with
quotations  available  on the  OTC  Electronic  Bulletin  Board.  Prior  to this
offering,  there has not been a public  market for the  stock,  and it is highly
unlikely  that an active and liquid  trading  market for the stock will develop.
The lack of an active  and  liquid  trading  market  may  adversely  affect  the
liquidity and price of the stock. See Market for the Stock.

Restrictions on Acquisition of SE Financial Corp.

         Our articles of  incorporation  and bylaws contain  provisions that may
make it difficult  for someone to acquire  control of SE Financial  Corp.  These
provisions  may  discourage  takeover  attempts and prevent you from receiving a
premium  over the  market  price of your  shares  as part of a  takeover.  These
provisions include:

          o    restrictions on the acquisition of our stock;
          o    limitations on voting rights;
          o    the  election of only  approximately  one-fourth  of our Board of
               Directors each year;
          o    restrictions  on the  ability  of  stockholders  to call  special
               stockholders' meetings;
          o    restrictions on the ability of  stockholders to make  stockholder
               proposals or nominate persons for election as directors;
          o    the right of the Board of  Directors to issue shares of preferred
               or common stock without stockholder approval; and
          o    the requirement of an 80% vote of  stockholders  for the approval
               of business  combinations not approved by two-thirds of the Board
               of Directors.

See Restrictions on Acquisition of SE Financial Corp. on page 96.

         Additionally,  Office of Thrift  Supervision  regulations  and policies
prohibit anyone from acquiring us for three years after the  conversion,  unless
such prohibition is waived by the Office of Thrift Supervision.

Tax Effects of the Conversion.

         We have  received the opinion of our special  counsel,  Malizia Spidi &
Fisch,  PC,  that  (i) no gain  or loss  will be  recognized  by  depositors  or
borrowers of St. Edmond's  Federal Savings Bank upon the distribution to them of
the  non-transferable  subscription rights and (ii) that the conversion will not
be a taxable event for either SE Financial Corp. or St. Edmond's Federal Savings
Bank under  federal or  Pennsylvania  state  income  tax laws.  These  opinions,
however,  are not binding on the Internal  Revenue  Service or the  Pennsylvania
state tax  authorities.  The full texts of the opinions are filed as exhibits to
the Registration


Statement of which this document is a part,  and copies may be obtained from the
SEC.  See  The  Conversion  - Tax  Effects  on page 79 and  Where  You Can  Find
Additional Information on page 101.

Receiving a Prospectus and an Order Form.

         To ensure that each  purchaser  receives a prospectus at least 48 hours
before the  applicable  expiration  date, in accordance  with Rule 15c2-8 of the
Securities  Exchange Act of 1934,  no  prospectus  will be mailed any later than
five days prior to the expiration  date or otherwise  distributed any later than
two days prior to the expiration date.  Execution of the order form will confirm
receipt or delivery in  accordance  with Rule  15c2-8.  Order forms will only be
distributed with a prospectus.

Risk Factors.

         Recent valuation of converting thrifts,  including St. Edmond's Federal
Savings Bank, are at historically  high levels.  As such, you may not be able to
sell the stock at or above the $10.00 offering price. This investment is subject
to significant risks. See Risk Factors beginning on page 9.

                                  RISK FACTORS

         In  addition  to the other  information  in this  document,  you should
consider carefully the following risk factors in evaluating an investment in our
common stock.

The relatively small amount of stock being offered makes it highly unlikely that
an active and liquid trading market for the stock will exist,  and the liquidity
and price of the stock may be adversely affected by a limited trading market.

         Prior to this offering, SE Financial Corp. has not offered its stock to
the public. Consequently,  there is not, at this time, any market for the stock.
Due to the relatively small size of the offering to the public, an active market
for the stock may not exist  after the  offering.  This  means that there may be
limited  secondary market liquidity for our stock.  This might make it difficult
for you to buy or sell the stock after the initial offering which may negatively
affect the price of the stock and cause  significant  volatility in the price of
our  stock.  Following  the  completion  of the  offering,  we  anticipate  that
quotations for our stock will be available on the OTC Electronic Bulletin Board.
See Market for the Stock on page 17.

         The liquidity of the trading market for our stock will also be affected
by the amount of stock  purchased by our directors  and  executive  officers and
their associates, who may purchase approximately 101,500 shares in the offering,
which represents 6.1%, 5.2%, and 4.5% of the total  outstanding  stock after the
offering  at  the  minimum,   midpoint  and  maximum  of  the  offering   range,
respectively.  Shares  purchased by directors and executive  officers  cannot be
sold  for  a  period  of  one  year  following  the  offering.  Furthermore,  if
stockholders  of SE Financial  Corp.  approve the restricted  stock plan and the
stock option plan, and if all shares  reserved  under the restricted  stock plan
are awarded and all options reserved under the stock option plan are awarded and
exercised,  insider ownership would increase. In addition,  St. Edmond's Federal
Savings  Bank's  employee  stock  ownership  plan will  purchase up to 8% of the
shares  issued in the  offering  and such shares will be held in trust,  further
limiting the publicly traded shares.

Future changes in interest rates may reduce our profits.

         Our  ability  to make a  profit  largely  depends  on our net  interest
income,  which could be negatively  affected by changes in interest  rates.  Net
interest income is the difference between:

o    the  interest  income  we  earn  on our  interest-earning  assets,  such as
     mortgage loans and investment securities; and

o    the interest expense we pay on our  interest-bearing  liabilities,  such as
     deposits and amounts we borrow.

         The rates we earn on our assets and the rates we pay on our liabilities
are  generally  fixed for a  contractual  period of time.  We, like many savings
institutions,   have  liabilities   that  generally  have  shorter   contractual
maturities  than our assets.  This  imbalance  can create  significant  earnings
volatility,  because  market  interest  rates  change over time.  In a period of
rising interest rates, the interest income earned on our assets may not increase
as rapidly as the  interest  paid on our  liabilities.  In a period of declining
interest  rates,  the interest  income  earned on our assets may  decrease  more
rapidly than the interest paid on our liabilities.

         The Bank monitors its interest rate  sensitivity  through the use of an
asset/liability management model which estimates the change in its net portfolio
value (defined as the current market value of assets, less the

                                        9



current  market  value  of  liabilities,  plus or  minus  the  current  value of
off-balance  sheet  items) in the event of a range of assumed  changes in market
interest rates. Our net portfolio value analysis, as calculated by the Office of
Thrift  Supervision  using  information  as of September  30,  2003,  showed our
interest rate risk to be slightly higher than the thrift industry median.  In an
immediate and permanent 2.0% increase in interest rates, our net portfolio value
decreases  by 165 basis points while the thrift  industry  median net  portfolio
value ratio would  decrease by only 130 basis points.  In addition,  assuming no
change in interest rates, our net portfolio value ratio as of September 30, 2003
is 11.6%, slightly lower than the thrift industry median of 12.3%.

         In addition, changes in interest rates can also affect the average life
of loans and  mortgage-backed  and related  securities.  A reduction in interest
rates results in increased prepayments of loans and mortgage- backed and related
securities, as borrowers refinance their debt in order to reduce their borrowing
cost.  This  causes  reinvestment  risk.  This  means that we may not be able to
reinvest  prepayments at rates that are comparable to the rates we earned on the
prepaid  loans  or  securities.  Additionally,  in a  rising  rate  environment,
prepayments would decrease, extending the average life of our assets.

         Additionally,  at  October  31,  2003,  $24.2  million  of  the  Bank's
certificates of deposit were five year  certificates  that have provisions which
allow  depositors  to  withdraw  funds  without  incurring  an early  withdrawal
penalty.  If rates rise, these deposits may be withdrawn without penalty and the
actual  maturity of these  certificates  of deposit may be materially  less than
indicated.  The  Bank  no  longer  offers  certificates  of  deposit  with  this
no-penalty provision.  See Sources of Funds - Deposits on page 59 for additional
information regarding these certificates of deposit.

St. Edmond's Federal Savings Bank entered into a supervisory  agreement with its
primary regulator in 2002 and operated under such agreement until December 2003.

The Bank  entered  into a  supervisory  agreement  with  the  Office  of  Thrift
Supervision  in February  2002.  The Office of Thrift  Supervision  had concerns
regarding oversight of the Bank by the Board and management,  citing the failure
to  establish  and update  appropriate  policies for the Bank's  operations  and
failure to  establish an internal  audit  program.  Additionally,  the Office of
Thrift  Supervision  had concerns  regarding  asset  quality,  in particular the
Bank's  underwriting  and credit  administration  and  monitoring of the one- to
four- family non-owner  occupied mortgage loan portfolio  (investor loans).  The
Bank's loan originations and asset growth were restricted while it was operating
under such  agreement.  The  agreement  was  terminated  on  December  10,  2003
following the  determination  by the Office of Thrift  Supervision that the Bank
was in compliance,  in all material respects,  with the directives the Office of
Thrift Supervision had made to the Bank in the supervisory  agreement.  The Bank
was also  subject to a Safety  and  Soundness  Compliance  Plan from May 2001 to
October 31, 2003. See Supervisory Agreements on page 64.

We operate in a highly  regulated  environment and may be adversely  affected by
changes in laws and regulations.

         The  Bank  is  subject  to  extensive   regulation,   supervision   and
examination  by the  Office of Thrift  Supervision  and by the  Federal  Deposit
Insurance Corporation.  Such regulation and supervision govern the activities in
which a bank and its holding company may engage. Such regulation and supervision
is intended  primarily for the  protection of the insurance  fund and depositors
and not for the  protection  of  investors  in the common  stock of SE Financial
Corp. Regulatory  authorities have extensive discretion in connection with their
supervisory and enforcement activities, including the imposition of restrictions
on the operation of a bank, the  classification of assets by a bank and a bank's
allowance for loan losses. Any change in regulation

                                       10



and  oversight,  whether  in the  form of  regulatory  policy,  regulations,  or
legislation could have a material impact on SE Financial Corp., its subsidiaries
and their operations. See Regulation beginning on page 62.

Our  return on  equity  after  the  offering  is  expected  to be low;  this may
negatively affect the price of our stock.

         The net proceeds  from the  offering  will  substantially  increase our
equity capital.  It will take a significant  period of time to prudently  invest
this capital.  For the year ended October 31, 2003, our return on average equity
was 7.23%. On a pro forma basis assuming that 1,950,000  shares had been sold at
the beginning of the fiscal year and the proceeds  invested at an after-tax rate
of 1.44%, our return on average equity for the year ended October 31, 2003 would
have been  approximately  2.61%.  The median  return on  average  equity for the
comparable peer group of 10 fully-converted  thrift institutions selected by the
independent  appraiser for comparison to St.  Edmond's  Federal Savings Bank was
6.45%. As a result,  our return on equity  following the offering,  which is the
ratio of our earnings  divided by our equity capital,  may be lower than that of
similar companies. To the extent that the stock market values a company based in
part on its return on  equity,  our low  return on equity  relative  to our peer
group could negatively affect the trading price of our stock.

You may not be able to sell your  shares  when you  desire or for $10.00 or more
per share.

         Publicly  traded  stocks  can  experience   substantial   market  price
volatility.  This is due, in part, to  investors'  shifting  perceptions  of the
effect on  various  industry  sectors of changes  and  potential  changes in the
economy.  Volatility,  therefore,  may be  unrelated  to the  current  operating
performance of particular  companies whose shares are traded. The purchase price
of common  stock  sold in  conversion  transactions  is based on an  independent
appraisal.  Independent  appraisals  are not  intended  to be, and should not be
construed as, a  recommendation  as to the  advisability  of purchasing  shares.
Recent valuations for converting  thrifts,  such as St. Edmond's Federal Savings
Bank, have been at an historically high level.  After our common stock begins to
trade,  the trading  price will be determined  by the  marketplace.  The trading
price will  fluctuate  because it will be influenced by many factors,  including
prevailing interest rates, other economic conditions,  our operating performance
and  investor  perceptions  of the outlook  for us and the  banking  industry in
general. We cannot assure you that if you choose to sell shares you purchased in
the stock offering,  you will be able to sell them at or above the $10 per share
offering price.

The expenses  related to our stock-based  benefit plans and the expenses related
to being a public company will reduce our earnings.

         We  intend to adopt an  employee  stock  ownership  plan as part of the
stock offering.  We also intend to adopt other  stock-based  benefit plans.  The
money that we use to buy stock to fund our stock-based benefit plans will not be
available for investment and will increase our future expenses. In addition, the
public company costs of preparing  reports for  stockholders  and the Securities
and Exchange  Commission will cause our expenses to be higher than they would be
if we did not conduct the stock  offering and become a public  company.  See Pro
Forma Data on page 19 and Management - Potential Stock Benefit Plans on page 74.

The  future  expenses  related to the Bank's  incentive  compensation  plan will
impact our future earnings.

         The Bank implemented an Incentive Retirement Plan, effective January 1,
2004,  to  reward  key  management  and the  Board of  Directors  for  achieving
strategic goals of the Bank,  including  long-term  growth of net income.  Under
such plan, units are awarded to plan participants and the future value of such

                                       11



units will be based upon accumulated  future retained earnings of the Bank on an
unconsolidated  basis above the level of the Bank's retained earnings at January
1, 2004.  The aggregate  future value of such units awarded will equal up to 10%
of the accumulated  future retained  earnings of the Bank.  Expenses accrued for
the  increases  in the  future  value of units  awarded  will  reduce our future
earnings. See Management - Incentive Retirement Plan on page 73.

The  implementation  of  stock-based  benefit  plans may dilute  your  ownership
interest in SE Financial Corp.

         We intend to adopt a stock  option  plan and a  restricted  stock  plan
following the stock  offering.  These stock benefit plans will be funded through
either open market  purchases  or from the issuance of  authorized  but unissued
shares.  Stockholders  would experience a reduction in ownership interest in the
event newly issued  shares are used to fund stock  options and awards made under
the  restricted  stock plan. The use of newly issued shares of stock to fund the
restricted  stock plan instead of open market  purchases would dilute the voting
interests  of existing  stockholders  by  approximately  3.8%.  The use of newly
issued  shares of stock to fund the stock  option  plan  instead of open  market
purchases  would  dilute  the  voting  interests  of  existing  stockholders  by
approximately 9.1%. See Management - Potential Stock Benefit Plans on page 74.

The Bank originates "investor loans" as well as commercial real estate loans and
intends to  continue  its  origination  of such loans  after the  offering.  The
repayment  risk related to these types of loans is considered to be greater than
the  risk  related  to  mortgage  loans on owner  occupied  one- to  four-family
residential properties.

         At October 31, 2003,  approximately $10.9 million of the Bank's one- to
four-family  mortgage  loans  consisted of mortgage  loans on  nonowner-occupied
properties,  representing 30.1% of one- to four-family  mortgage loans and 21.5%
of total loans.  These consist primarily of "investor loans" secured by one- to-
four family  residences.  At October 31, 2003, the Bank also had $4.0 million of
multi-family  and commercial  real estate loans.  It is the Bank's  intention to
continue to originate  these types of loans in the future.  These types of loans
are  generally  considered  to  involve  a higher  degree  of  credit  risk than
financing of owner occupied residential  properties and any late payments or the
failure to repay such loans would hurt the Bank's earnings.  See Business of St.
Edmond's Federal Savings Bank - Lending Activities on page 44.

We plan to remain independent.

         It is our intention to continue  operating as an independent  financial
institution.  We do not currently plan to undertake a sale of SE Financial Corp.
even if the acquisition would result in our stockholders receiving a substantial
premium over the market  price of our stock at the time of a sale.  Our articles
of  incorporation  and bylaws contain  provisions that may make it difficult for
someone to acquire  control of us.  These  provisions  may  discourage  takeover
attempts and prevent you from  receiving a premium over the market price of your
shares as part of a takeover.

         Additionally, Office of Thrift Supervision regulations may also prevent
anyone from  acquiring  us for three years after the  conversion.  The Office of
Thrift  Supervision's  approval of the  conversion  will be  conditioned  on St.
Edmond's  Federal Savings Bank retaining a charter that subjects it to Office of
Thrift  Supervision   jurisdiction  for  at  least  three  years  following  the
conversion.  This condition may make it  unattractive  for an entity that is not
regulated by the Office of Thrift  Supervision to acquire St.  Edmond's  Federal
Savings Bank. See Restrictions on Acquisitions of SE Financial Corp. on page 96.

The amount of stock held by our officers and  directors  and stock benefit plans
could make it difficult for  stockholders to adopt proposals or approve takeover
attempts not supported by management.

         The  amount of  ownership  and  control of our stock by  directors  and
officers could make it difficult for stockholders to make successful stockholder
proposals  if they are  opposed by  management  and the Board of  Directors.  In
addition,  directors  and  officers  could use their  voting  power to block the
approval of  transactions,  such as business  combinations  and amendments to SE
Financial Corp.'s articles of incorporation or bylaws, which are required by the
articles of  incorporation  to be approved by at least 80% of the  stockholders.
Our directors and officers are expected to purchase approximately 101,500 shares
of stock in the offering, 5.2% if 1,950,000 shares, the midpoint of the offering
range, are sold, and purchases of stock in the offering by these persons will be
counted  toward the  minimum of  1,657,500  shares that must be sold in order to
complete the  offering.  In addition,  approximately  8% of the shares of common
stock issued in the offering are expected to be purchased by our employee  stock
ownership plan. Shares owned by the St. Edmond's Federal Savings Bank's employee
stock  ownership  plan  which have not yet been  allocated  to the  accounts  of
employees  will  be  voted  by a  committee  of  non-employee  directors.  If we
implement  stock  benefit  plans,  the  ownership  and control by  officers  and
directors would increase, causing voting dilution to the other stockholders. See
Management  -  Executive  Compensation  -  Employee  Stock  Ownership  Plan  and
Management - Potential Stock Benefit Plans.

Increases  in market  rates of  interest  could  adversely  affect our  retained
earnings.

         At  October  31,  2003,  St.   Edmond's   Federal   Savings  Bank  held
approximately $27.3 million in available-for-sale securities. Generally accepted
accounting  principles require that these securities be carried at fair value on
the  Bank's  balance  sheet.   Unrealized  holding  gains  or  losses  on  these
securities,  that is, the  difference  between the fair value and the  amortized
cost of these  securities,  net of  deferred  taxes,  is  reflected  in retained
earnings.

         When interest rates increase,  the fair value of St.  Edmond's  Federal
Savings Bank's  available-for- sale securities generally  decreases,  which also
decreases  retained  earnings.  As of October 31,  2003,  St.  Edmond's  Federal
Savings  Bank's  retained  earnings  included  approximately  $84,000  in  other
comprehensive  loss, which was comprised  exclusively of net unrealized  holding
losses on its available-for-sale securities portfolio.

Deposits are the Bank's  major source of funds for lending and other  investment
purposes, and a large portion of its deposits are certificates of deposit, which
are not as stable as other types of deposits.

         At October 31,  2003,  $51.9  million,  or 71.6%,  of the Bank's  total
deposits were certificates of deposit, and of that amount $9.1 million, or 17.5%
of the certificates of deposit,  were "jumbo"  certificates of $100,000 or more.
Deposit inflows are significantly influenced by general interest rates and money
market  conditions.  The inflow of  certificates of deposit and the retention of
such deposits upon maturity are particularly sensitive to general interest rates
and money market  conditions,  making  certificates of deposits  traditionally a
more  volatile  source  of  funding  than  core  deposits.  In order  to  retain
certificates of deposits,  the Bank may have to pay a premium rate, resulting in
an increase in its cost of funds. In a rising rate environment,  the Bank may be
unwilling or unable to pay a competitive  rate. To the extent that such deposits
do not remain with the Bank, they may need to be replaced with borrowings  which
could increase the Bank's cost of funds and negatively  impact its interest rate
spread and its financial condition.

         Additionally,  at  October  31,  2003,  $24.2  million  of  the  Bank's
certificates of deposit were five year  certificates  that have provisions which
allow depositors to withdraw funds without incurring an early

                                       13



withdrawal  penalty.  If rates rise,  these  deposits may be  withdrawn  without
penalty  and the  actual  maturity  of  these  certificates  of  deposit  may be
materially  less than  indicated.  The Bank no  longer  offers  certificates  of
deposit  with this  no-penalty  provision.  At October 31,  2003,  the  weighted
average rate was 3.805% and the scheduled  maturities on these  certificates  of
deposit were as follows:  $3,722,000 within one year; $4,036,000 beyond one year
but within  two years;  $4,360,000  beyond  two years but  within  three  years;
$4,722,000  beyond three years but within four years; and $7,400,000 beyond four
years but within five years.

A downturn in the Bank's local economy may adversely affect its earnings.

         The  Bank's  business  of  attracting  deposits  and  making  loans  is
primarily  conducted  within its primary  market areas.  A downturn in the local
economy  could reduce the amount of funds  available for deposit and the ability
of borrowers to repay their loans and could negatively impact collateral values.
As a result, the Bank's earnings could be adversely affected.

If the Bank's  allowance for loan losses is not  sufficient to cover actual loan
losses, the Bank's earnings could decrease.

         The  Bank  makes   various   assumptions   and   judgments   about  the
collectibility  of its loan  portfolio,  including the  creditworthiness  of its
borrowers  and the  value  of the  real  estate  and  other  assets  serving  as
collateral for the repayment of many of its loans.  In determining the amount of
the  allowance  for loan  losses,  the Bank  reviews  its loans and its loss and
delinquency  experience  and  evaluates  economic  conditions.   If  the  Bank's
assumptions  are incorrect,  its allowance for loan losses may not be sufficient
to cover losses  inherent in its loan  portfolio,  resulting in additions to its
allowance.  Material additions to the Bank's allowance would materially decrease
its net income.

         In addition,  regulators  periodically  review the Bank's allowance for
loan  losses and may  require it to increase  its  provision  for loan losses or
recognize  further  loan  charge-offs.  Any increase in its  allowance  for loan
losses or loan charge-offs as required by these regulatory  authorities may have
a material  adverse  effect on the Bank's  results of  operations  and financial
condition.

If we receive orders for only the minimum number of shares  required to be sold,
we will have less  proceeds  than if we sold more  shares,  which may affect our
business plans and earnings.

         We are  required  to sell a  minimum  of  1,657,500  shares in order to
complete  this stock  offering.  If we do not  receive  orders for more than the
minimum number of shares,  we may still complete the offering,  but we will have
approximately  $16.1 million of net  proceeds,  compared to $21.9 million at the
maximum of the offering  range.  Having less net proceeds  from the offering may
affect our earnings and our  business  plans  because it means we will have less
funds to invest in loans and  investments and less capital to fund the potential
expansion  of our branch  network.  Our  directors  and officers are expected to
purchase  approximately  101,500  shares  of  stock  in the  offering,  5.2%  if
1,950,000 shares, the midpoint of the offering range, are sold, and purchases of
stock in the  offering by these  persons  will be counted  toward the minimum of
1,657,500 shares that must be sold in order to complete the offering.

We  will  have  substantial  discretion  over  the  use of the  proceeds  of the
offering, and we may not apply the proceeds in the most profitable manner.

         We will have broad  discretion  over the use of the proceeds  from this
stock  offering.  Although  we  intend  to use  the  net  proceeds  in the  most
profitable manner, our failure to utilize these funds effectively

                                       14



could hurt our profits.  We will use at least 50% of the net  proceeds  from the
offering to make a capital  contribution to St.  Edmond's  Federal Savings Bank.
The funds  received  by the Bank  will be used for  general  business  purposes,
including potentially expanding the branch office network. We will also lend the
Bank's  employee stock ownership plan cash to enable the plan to buy up to 8% of
the shares  issued in the  offering.  The  balance of the net  proceeds  will be
retained by SE Financial  Corp.,  and we will initially invest these proceeds in
short-term investment securities.

                           FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

         This document  contains  forward-looking  statements about St. Edmond's
Federal  Savings  Bank  and  subsidiary.   Forward-looking   statements  include
statements about anticipated operating and financial  performance,  such as loan
originations,  operating  efficiencies,  loan sales,  charge-offs  and loan loss
provisions, growth opportunities, interest rates, and deposit growth. Words such
as "may,"  "could,"  "should,"  "would,"  "believe,"  "anticipate,"  "estimate,"
"expect,"  "intend,"  "project," "plan," and similar expressions are intended to
identify these forward-looking statements.

         Forward-looking  statements are  necessarily  subject to many risks and
uncertainties.  A  number  of  things  could  cause  actual  results  to  differ
materially  from  those  indicated  by  the  forward-looking  statements.  These
include, but are not limited to, the factors discussed  immediately below, those
addressed  under the caption  Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations,  other factors discussed  elsewhere in this
document, and those presented elsewhere by management from time to time. Many of
the risks and uncertainties are beyond our control.  The following factors could
cause our operating  and financial  performance  to differ  materially  from the
plans,  objectives,   assumptions,   expectations,   estimates,  and  intentions
expressed in forward-looking statements:

o    general economic conditions, either nationally,  regionally or locally, may
     be less  favorable  than we expect,  resulting  in a  deterioration  in the
     credit quality of our loans, among other things;

o    the effects of, and changes in,  trade,  monetary  and fiscal  policies and
     laws, including interest-rate policies of the Federal Reserve Board;

o    inflation, interest rate, market, and monetary fluctuations;

o    the development and acceptance of new products and services of St. Edmond's
     Federal  Savings Bank and  subsidiary  and the  perceived  overall value of
     these products and services by users, including the features,  pricing, and
     quality compared to competitors' products and services;

o    the  willingness of users to substitute our products and services for those
     of competitors;

o    the impact of  changes  in laws and  regulations  applicable  to  financial
     services  (including  laws  concerning  taxes,  banking,   securities,  and
     insurance); and

o    changes in consumer spending and saving habits.

         Forward-looking statements are based on our beliefs, plans, objectives,
goals, assumptions,  expectations,  estimates, and intentions as of the date the
statements are made.  Investors  should  exercise  caution  because St. Edmond's
Federal  Savings  Bank  cannot give any  assurance  that these  beliefs,  plans,
objectives, goals, assumptions,  expectations, estimates, and intentions will be
realized.

                                 USE OF PROCEEDS

         The  net  proceeds  will  depend  on  the  expenses  incurred  by us in
connection  with the  offering and the total number of shares of stock issued in
the  offering,  which will depend on the  independent  valuation  and  marketing
considerations.  Although  the actual net  proceeds  from the sale of the common
stock cannot be determined until the offering is completed,  we estimate that we
will receive net proceeds  from the sale of common stock of between  $16,109,000
at the minimum and $21,901,000 at the maximum of the offering range.

         Assuming  the  sale  of  $16,575,000,   $19,500,000,   $22,425,000  and
$25,788,750 of common stock at the minimum,  midpoint,  maximum and maximum,  as
adjusted,  respectively,  of the offering range, expenses of $466,000, $495,000,
$524,000  and  $558,000,  at the  minimum,  midpoint,  maximum and  maximum,  as
adjusted,  respectively,  and the  purchase of 8% of the shares by the  employee
stock  ownership plan, the following table shows the manner in which we will use
the net proceeds:



                                                                                                   MAXIMUM, AS

         We will  use at least  50% of the  cash  received  in the  offering  to
purchase all of St. Edmond's Federal Savings Bank's stock. We will also lend the
Bank's  employee  stock  ownership plan cash to enable the plan to buy 8% of the
shares  sold in the  offering.  The  balance  will be  retained  as our  initial
capitalization  and  used  for  general  business  purposes  which  may  include
investment in securities,  paying cash dividends or  repurchasing  shares of our
common stock.  We will  initially  invest the proceeds in short-term  investment
securities.

         The funds received by the Bank from us in exchange for all its stock to
be  issued  in the  conversion  will  be used  for  general  business  purposes,
including originating loans and purchasing securities.  Net proceeds may also be
used by the Bank to make  contributions  to the employee  stock  ownership  plan
which in turn would be used to repay the loan from us.

         In  addition,  the Bank may also use the  proceeds  of the  offering to
expand either through  opening or acquiring  branch  offices.  The Bank may also
relocate  its  Sewell,  New  Jersey  office  to a new  site.  The Bank does not,
however,  have any current  understandings,  agreements or arrangements  for the
expansion of its business, either through repositioning existing branches or the
addition of new branch offices.

         If the employee stock  ownership plan does not purchase common stock in
the  offering,  it may  purchase  shares of common stock in the market after the
conversion.  If the  purchase  price of the common  stock is higher than $10 per
share,  the amount of proceeds  required for the purchase by the employee  stock
ownership  plan  will  increase  and the  resulting  stockholders'  equity  will
decrease.

                                       16



         The net proceeds may vary  significantly  because total expenses of the
conversion  may be  significantly  more or less than  those  estimated.  The net
proceeds  will also vary if the number of shares to be issued in the  conversion
are adjusted to reflect a change in the  estimated  pro forma market value of SE
Financial Corp. and St. Edmond's Federal Savings Bank.  Payments for shares made
through  withdrawals  from existing deposit accounts at the Bank will not result
in the receipt of new funds for investment but will result in a reduction of the
Bank's   deposits  and   interest   expense  as  funds  are   transferred   from
interest-bearing certificates or other deposit accounts.

                                 DIVIDEND POLICY

         The Board of  Directors  has not yet  determined  whether SE  Financial
Corp. will pay cash dividends  after the  conversion.  There can be no assurance
that  dividends  will in fact be paid on the stock or that,  if paid,  dividends
will not be reduced or eliminated in future periods.

         The timing,  frequency  and initial  amount of any  dividends  would be
determined  by the Board.  In making its decision,  the Board of Directors  will
consider several factors, including financial condition,  results of operations,
tax considerations, industry standards and general economic conditions.

         SE  Financial  Corp.'s  ability to pay  dividends  also  depends on the
receipt of dividends from St. Edmond's  Federal Savings Bank which is subject to
a variety of regulatory limitations on the payment of dividends.  See Regulation
- - Regulation of St.  Edmond's  Federal Savings Bank - Dividend and Other Capital
Distribution  Limitations.  Furthermore,  as a  condition  to  Office  of Thrift
Supervision  approval of the  conversion,  SE Financial Corp. has agreed that it
will not initiate any action within one year of completion of the  conversion in
the  furtherance  of payment of a special  distribution  or return of capital to
stockholders of the Company.

                              MARKET FOR THE STOCK

         SE Financial Corp. has never issued capital stock. Consequently,  there
is not, at this time, any market for the stock.  Following the completion of the
offering,  SE Financial Corp.  anticipates  that its stock will be traded on the
over-the-counter  market with  quotations  available  through the OTC Electronic
Bulletin Board. Sandler O'Neill & Partners,  L.P. has advised us that it intends
to make a market in our common stock following the offering,  but it is under no
obligation to do so.

         The development of an active trading market depends on the existence of
willing buyers and sellers. Due to the small size of the offering,  it is highly
unlikely that an active trading market will develop and be maintained  after the
offering.  The small  amount of stock  being  issued to the  public  may make it
difficult  to buy or sell our stock in the  future.  You could  have  difficulty
disposing  of your  shares  and you  should  not view the shares as a short term
investment.  We cannot assure you that an active  trading  market for the common
stock will develop or that, if it develops, it will continue.  Nor can we assure
you that, if you purchase shares of common stock,  you will be able to sell them
at or above $10.00 per share.

                                 CAPITALIZATION

         Set  forth  below is the  historical  capitalization  of the Bank as of
October 31, 2003 and the pro forma  capitalization  of SE Financial Corp.  after
giving  effect to the offering.  The table also gives effect to the  assumptions
set forth under Pro Forma Data. We are offering for sale up to 2,242,500  shares
of common stock and must sell a minimum of 1,657,500 shares in order to complete
the offering. We may sell up to 2,578,875 shares because of changes in market or
general  financial  and  economic   conditions  without  notifying   prospective
purchasers.

(1)  As adjusted  to give  effect to an  increase in the number of shares  which
     could  occur  due  to  an  increase  in  the  independent  valuation  and a
     commensurate increase in the offering range of up to 15% to reflect changes
     in market and financial conditions.
(2)  Does not reflect  withdrawals  from  deposit  accounts  for the purchase of
     stock in the offering.  Any withdrawals  would reduce pro forma deposits by
     an amount equal to the withdrawals.
(3)  No effect  has been given to the  issuance  of  additional  shares of stock
     pursuant  to any stock  option  plans that may be  adopted by SE  Financial
     Corp. and the Bank and presented for approval by the stockholders after the
     offering.  An  amount  equal  to 10% of the  shares  of  stock  sold in the
     offering  would be reserved for issuance upon the exercise of options to be
     granted  under  the  stock  option  plans  within  one year  following  the
     conversion.  See Management - Potential Stock Benefit Plans - Stock Options
     Plans.
(4)  Additional paid-in capital amounts are net of offering expenses.
(5)  Retained earnings will be substantially restricted after the conversion.
(6)  Assumes that 8% of the shares sold in the offering will be purchased by the
     employee stock  ownership plan, and that the funds used to acquire the ESOP
     shares  will be borrowed  from SE  Financial  Corp.  For an estimate of the
     impact of the loan on  earnings,  see Pro Forma Data.  The Bank  intends to
     make scheduled discretionary  contributions to the employee stock ownership
     plan sufficient to enable the plan to service and repay its debt over a ten
     year  period.  The amount of shares to be acquired by the ESOP is reflected
     as  a  reduction  of  stockholders'  equity.  See  Management  -  Executive
     Compensation  -  Employee  Stock  Ownership  Plan.  If the  employee  stock
     ownership  plan is unable to  purchase  stock in the  conversion  due to an
     oversubscription  in the offering by eligible  account holders having first
     priority,  and the  purchase  price in the open market is greater  than the
     original $10.00 price per share, there will be a corresponding reduction in
     stockholders'   equity.   See  The  Offering  -  Subscription   Offering  -
     Subscription Rights.
(7)  Assumes  that an  amount  equal to 4% of the  shares  of stock  sold in the
     offering is purchased by the restricted  stock plan. The stock purchased by
     the  restricted  stock plan is reflected  as a reduction  of  stockholders'
     equity.  See footnote (3) to the table under Pro Forma Data. See Management
     - Potential Stock Benefit Plans - Restricted Stock Plan.

                                 PRO FORMA DATA

         We are  offering  for sale up to  2,242,500  shares of common stock and
must sell a minimum of 1,657,500  shares in order to complete the  offering.  We
may sell up to  2,578,875  shares  if the  independent  valuation  is  increased
because of changes in market or general financial and economic  conditions.  The
actual net proceeds  from the sale of the stock cannot be  determined  until the
offering is completed.  However,  investable net proceeds to SE Financial  Corp.
are  currently  estimated to be between  approximately  $14.1  million and $19.2
million (or $22.1  million if the  independent  valuation  is  increased by 15%)
based on the following assumptions:

o    an amount  equal to the purchase  price of 8% of the shares  issued will be
     loaned to the ESOP to fund its purchase of 8% of the shares issued;

o    an amount equal to 4% of the shares issued will be awarded  pursuant to the
     restricted  stock plan  adopted no sooner  than six  months  following  the
     offering, funded through open market purchases; and

o    expenses of the offering are estimated to be between approximately $466,000
     and $524,000 ($558,000 if the independent valuation is increased by 15%).

         The following  table sets forth our historical net income and net worth
prior  to  the  conversion  and  our  pro  forma  consolidated  net  income  and
stockholders'  equity  following the conversion.  In preparing this table and in
calculating pro forma data, we have made the following assumptions:

o    Pro forma earnings have been calculated assuming the stock had been sold at
     the  beginning of the period and the net  proceeds had been  invested at an
     average  yield  of  2.33%  for the  year  ended  October  31,  2003,  which
     approximates  the yield on a three-year  U.S.  Treasury bill on October 31,
     2003.  The  yield  on a  three-year  U.S.  Treasury  bill,  rather  than an
     arithmetic  average of the  average  yield on  interest-earning  assets and
     average  rate paid on  deposits,  has been used to  estimate  income on net
     proceeds because it is believed that the three-year U.S. Treasury bill rate
     is a more  accurate  estimate  of the rate  that  would be  obtained  on an
     investment of net proceeds from the offering.

o    The pro forma  after-tax  yield on the net  proceeds is assumed to be 1.44%
     for the year ended  October 31,  2003,  based on an  effective  tax rate of
     38.00%.

o    We did not include any withdrawals from deposit accounts to purchase shares
     in the offering.

o    Historical and pro forma per share amounts have been calculated by dividing
     historical  and pro  forma  amounts  by the  indicated  number of shares of
     stock,  as adjusted in the pro forma net  earnings per share to give effect
     to the purchase of shares by the employee stock ownership plan.

o    Pro forma stockholders' equity amounts have been calculated as if the stock
     had been sold on  October  31,  2003,  and no effect  has been given to the
     assumed earnings effect of the transactions.

         The  following  pro forma data  relies on the  assumptions  we outlined
above,  and this data does not  represent  the fair  market  value of the common
stock,  the current value of assets or liabilities,  or the amount of money that
would be distributed to stockholders if we liquidated SE Financial Corp. The pro
forma data does not predict how much we will earn in the future.

                                       19



         The following table summarizes  historical data of St. Edmond's Federal
Savings Bank and pro forma data of SE Financial  Corp.  at or for the year ended
October 31, 2003 based on the  assumptions  set forth above and in the table and
should  not be used as a basis  for  projections  of  market  value of the stock
following the conversion.  No effect has been given in the table to the possible
issuance of additional  stock reserved for future  issuance  pursuant to a stock
option plan that may be adopted by the Board of Directors of SE Financial  Corp.
within one year following the conversion, nor does book value give any effect to
the  liquidation   account  to  be  established  or  the  bad  debt  reserve  in
liquidation.  See The  Conversion  - Effects  of the  Conversion  -  Liquidation
Account on page 80 and Management - Potential Stock Benefit Plans - Stock Option

(1)  Pro forma  income  on net  proceeds  gives  effect  to  anticipated  income
     generated by the investment in bank-owned life  insurance,  approved by the
     Board subsequent to October 31, 2003, and anticipated cost of the Incentive

     tax positive  adjustment of $33,000,  $33,000,  $32,000 and $32,000, at the
     minimum,  midpoint,  maximum  and  15%  above  the  maximum  of the  range,
     respectively, See Incentive Retirement Plan on page 73.

(2)  Assumes  that  8% of the  shares  of  stock  sold in the  offering  will be
     purchased  by the  employee  stock  ownership  plan and that the plan  will
     borrow funds from SE  Financial  Corp.  The stock  acquired by the employee
     stock ownership plan is reflected as a reduction of  stockholder's  equity.
     The Bank intends to make annual  contributions  to the plan in an amount at
     least equal to the principal  and interest  requirement  of the loan.  This
     table assumes a ten year  amortization  period.  See Management - Executive
     Compensation  - Employee Stock  Ownership  Plan. The pro forma net earnings
     assumes:  (i) that the Bank's  contribution to the employee stock ownership
     plan for the  principal  portion of the debt service  requirement  for year
     ended October 31, 2003 was made at the end of the period; (ii) that 13,260,
     15,600, 17,940 and 20,631 shares at the minimum, midpoint, maximum, and 15%
     above the maximum of the range, respectively, were committed to be released
     during the year ended  October 31, 2003, at an average fair value of $10.00
     per share and were accounted for as a charge to expense in accordance  with
     Statement of Position  ("SOP") No. 93-6;  and (iii) only the employee stock
     ownership plan shares committed to be released were considered  outstanding
     for purposes of the net earnings per share calculations. All employee stock
     ownership  plan  shares were  considered  outstanding  for  purposes of the
     stockholders' equity per share calculations.

(3)  Gives effect to the  restricted  stock plan that may be adopted by the Bank
     following  the  conversion  and  presented  for  approval  at a meeting  of
     stockholders  after  completion of the conversion.  If the restricted stock
     plan is approved by the  stockholders,  the restricted  stock plan would be
     expected  to acquire an amount of stock  equal to 4% of the shares of stock
     sold in the offering, or 66,300, 78,000, 89,700 and 103,155 shares of stock
     respectively at the minimum, midpoint, maximum and 15% above the maximum of
     the range through open market purchases. Funds used by the restricted stock
     plan to purchase the shares will be  contributed  to the  restricted  stock
     plan by the Bank.  In  calculating  the pro forma effect of the  restricted
     stock plan, it is assumed that the required  stockholder  approval has been
     received, that the shares were acquired by the restricted stock plan at the
     beginning of the year ended October 31, 2003 through open market purchases,
     at $10.00 per share,  and that 20% of the amount  contributed was amortized
     to  expense  during  the year  ended  October  31,  2003.  The plan will be
     amortized over five years.  The issuance of authorized but unissued  shares
     of stock to the  restricted  stock plan  instead of open  market  purchases
     would dilute the voting interests of existing stockholders by approximately
     3.8% and pro forma net income per share for the year ended October 31, 2003
     would be $0.40, $0.34, $0.30 and $0.27, at the minimum,  midpoint,  maximum
     and 15%  above  the  maximum  of the  range,  respectively,  and pro  forma
     stockholders' equity per share at October 31, 2003 would be $12.64, $12.00,
     $11.53 and  $11.11,  at the  minimum,  midpoint,  maximum and 15% above the
     maximum  of  the  range,  respectively.  There  can  be no  assurance  that
     stockholder approval of the restricted stock plan will be obtained,  or the
     actual purchase price of the shares will be equal to $10.00 per share.  See
     Management - Potential Stock Benefit Plans - Restricted Stock Plan.

(4)  The retained  earnings of SE Financial  Corp. and the Bank will continue to
     be substantially restricted after the conversion.  See Dividend Policy, The
     Conversion - Effects of  Conversion - Liquidation  Rights and  Regulation -
     Regulation  of St.  Edmond's  Federal  Savings  Bank - Dividends  and Other
     Capital Distribution Limitations.

(5)  No effect  has been given to the  issuance  of  additional  shares of stock
     pursuant to the stock option plan that may be adopted by the Bank following
     the conversion which, in turn, would be presented for approval at a meeting
     of  stockholders  to be held  within one year after the  completion  of the
     conversion.  If  the  stock  option  plan  is  presented  and  approved  by
     stockholders,  an amount equal to 10% of the stock sold in the offering, or
     165,750,  195,000,  224,250 and 257,888  shares at the  minimum,  midpoint,
     maximum  and 15% above the  maximum  of the  range,  respectively,  will be
     reserved  for future  issuance  upon the  exercise of options to be granted
     under the stock  option  plans.  The  issuance of  authorized  but unissued
     shares of stock to the stock plan  instead of open market  purchases  would
     dilute the voting interests of existing stockholders by approximately 9.1%.
     Assuming stockholder approval of the stock option plans and the exercise of
     all  options  at the end of the period at an  exercise  price of $10.00 per
     share,  the pro forma net earnings per share would be $0.37,  $0.32,  $0.28
     and $0.25, respectively at the minimum, midpoint, maximum and 15% above the
     maximum  of the  range  for the year  ended  October  31,  2003;  pro forma
     stockholders' equity per share would be $12.86,  $12.26, $11.81 and $11.42,
     respectively at the minimum, midpoint, maximum and 15% above the maximum of
     the range at October 31, 2003.  See  Management - Potential  Stock  Benefit
     Plans - Stock Option Plans.

                   HISTORICAL AND PRO FORMA CAPITAL COMPLIANCE

         The following  table presents the St.  Edmond's  Federal Savings Bank's
historical and pro forma capital position  relative to its capital  requirements
as of October 31, 2003. Pro forma capital levels assume receipt by St.  Edmond's
Federal  Savings  Bank  of 50% of the  net  proceeds.  For a  discussion  of the
assumptions  underlying the pro forma capital calculations  presented below, see
Use of Proceeds, Capitalization and Pro Forma Data. The definitions of the terms
used in the table are those  provided in the capital  regulations  issued by the
Office  of  Thrift  Supervision.  For a  discussion  of  the  capital  standards
applicable  to the Bank,  see  Regulation - Regulation of St.  Edmond's  Federal

2004 and January 31, 2003

         The Bank  recorded  net income of $100,000  for the three  months ended
January 31, 2004,  which  represents a decrease of $34,000,  or 25.5%,  over the
same period in 2003.  The decrease in net income is primarily due to a reduction
of noninterest income and a decrease in net interest income.

         Net Interest  Income.  Net  interest  income for the three months ended
January 31, 2004  decreased  to $652,000  from  $684,000  for the same period in
2003.  Interest  income for the three  months  ended  January 31,  2004  totaled
$1,181,000  as compared to  $1,365,000  for the three months  ended  January 31,
2003.  This decrease of $184,000 was  attributed  primarily to a decrease in the
interest earned on loans receivable and mortgaged-backed  securities and was the
product of both volume and rate fluctuations during the period.

         Interest expense decreased to $529,000,  representing a 22.3% decrease,
for the three months ended  January 31, 2004 from  $681,000 for the three months
ended January 31, 2003 and was primarily  attributable  to the current  interest
rate  environment  that resulted in a lowering of the cost of funds to 2.79% for
the three months ended January 31, 2004 as compared to 3.59% for the same period
in 2003.

         Loan Loss  Provision.  The provision for loan losses was $9,000 for the
three  months  ended  January 31, 2004 which is the same amount as for the three
months  ended  January  31,  2003.   The  loan  loss  provision  is  based  upon
management's assessment of a variety of factors,  including types and amounts of
nonperforming  loans,  historical loss experience,  collectibility of collateral
values and guaranties,  pending legal action for collection of loans and related
guaranties,   and  current  economic   conditions.   The  allowance   represents
management's best estimate of known and inherent losses in the loan portfolio at
the  balance  sheet date that are both  probable  and  reasonable  to  estimate.
However,  actual loan losses  could exceed the amounts that have been charged to
operations.

         Noninterest  Income.  Total noninterest income decreased to $82,000 for
the three  months  ended  January  31, 2004  compared to $110,000  for the three
months ended January 31, 2003. The decrease is principally due to a reduction in
service charges and fees on deposit account  activity in both the  transactional
fees being  charged and the volume of related  transactions  and a reduction  in
miscellaneous  loan fees.  The Bank  anticipates  the investment in a bank-owned
life insurance product in 2004 should generate additional noninterest income.

         Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense decreased slightly to $563,000
for the three months ended  January 31, 2004 from  $572,000 for the three months
ended January 31, 2003.  Compensation and employee benefit expense  increased by
approximately $6,000, occupancy and equipment expense decreased by approximately
$19,000,  real estate operation  expense  decreased by approximately  $6,000 and
miscellaneous operating expenses increased by approximately $10,000.

         Noninterest  expenses  are  expected  to  increase  in 2004  due to the
additional costs of professional fees associated with becoming a public company,
the  implementation  of an  incentive  retirement  plan  for key  employees  and
expenses from an employee stock ownership and restricted stock plan.

         Additionally, the Bank currently plans to add seven full time employees
to  its  staff  over  the  next  several  years,   including  up  to  three  new
lender/business development officers, an assistant branch manager, and a support
staff  employee  in  each  of  the  accounting,  lending  and  customer  service
departments.

                                       25




         Income  Taxes.  Income  taxes  declined to $62,000 for the three months
ended January 31, 2004 from $79,000 for the same period in 2003. This was due to
a reduction in pretax income.

Comparison of Financial Condition at January 31, 2004 and October 31, 2003

         Assets and Liabilities. The Bank's total assets decreased by $1,144,000
to $86,223,000 at January 31, 2004 from $87,367,000 at October 31, 2003.

         Cash and cash  equivalents  decreased to $1,372,000 at January 31, 2004
from  $6,304,000 at October 31, 2003.  This decrease was primarily a result of a
reduction in the interest-bearing deposit account.

         Investment  securities  available  for  sale  increased  $1,684,000  to
$29,021,000  at January  31, 2004 from  $27,337,000  at October  31,  2003.  The
increase  is  due  to  investment   purchases  primarily  in  U.  S.  government
mortgage-backed  securities  which were partially offset by investment calls and
maturities  and  principal  repayment on  mortgage-backed  securities.  The Bank
funded this growth with the utilization of excess cash and cash  equivalents and
the reinvestment of called and matured  securities during the three months ended
January 31, 2004.

         Net loans  receivable  increased  $669,000,  or 1.3%, to $51,399,000 at
January 31, 2004 from  $50,730,000 at October 31, 2003. A slight increase in net
loans receivable was noted during the three months ended January 31, 2004 as the
Bank continued to experience  strong loan  production  and repayments  were more
moderate.

         The allowance for loan losses increased to $274,000 at January 31, 2004
from  $263,000  at  October  31,  2003 and  represented  .53% of the gross  loan
portfolio at January 31,  2004.  The Bank had  nonaccrual  loans of $171,000 and
$370,000 at January 31, 2004 and October 31, 2003.  Management  does not believe
the  nonaccrual  loans or any amounts  classified as  nonperforming  will have a
significant effect on operations or liquidity in 2004.  Furthermore,  management
is not aware of any trends or  uncertainties  related to any loans classified as
doubtful or substandard that might have a material effect on earnings, liquidity
or capital resources.

         Total  deposits  decreased  to  $70,647,000  at January  31,  2004 from
$72,273,000  at October 31, 2003.  This was  primarily a result of a decrease in
certificates  of deposit.  Although time deposits  declined,  they  continued to
account for 71.05% of the total deposit portfolio and remain a dominant resource
for funds.

         Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings  decreased  slightly to $6,622,000 at
January 31, 2004 from $6,637,000 at October 31, 2003.

         Retained  Earnings.  Total  retained  earnings  increased  $274,000  to
$7,946,000  at January  31,  2004 from  October  31,  2003.  This  increase  was
attributable  to net income of  $100,000  and  accumulated  other  comprehensive
income of $175,000. Accumulated other comprehensive income increased as a result
of changes in the net  unrealized  gain on investment  securities  available for
sale.  Because of interest  rate  volatility,  accumulated  other  comprehensive
income could  materially  fluctuate for each interim  period and year end period
depending on economic and interest rate conditions. The Bank is currently in the
process of an initial  stock  offering,  which will  include an  employee  stock
ownership  plan and may include a  restricted  stock plan.  The  proceeds  would
result in  additional  equity in the  immediate  future  which  will be used for
general business purposes.

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

         The consolidated  analysis of St. Edmond's Federal Savings Bank and its
wholly-owned subsidiary,  SE Investment Services Corp, is intended to assist the
reader in evaluating the performance of the Bank for the years ended October 31,
2003 and 2002. This  information  should be read in conjunction with the audited
consolidated  financial  statements and  accompanying  notes to the consolidated
financial statements.

         The Bank,  which is subject to regulation and supervision by the Office
of Thrift Supervision,  is a  federally-chartered  savings bank headquartered in
Philadelphia,  Pennsylvania.  The Bank entered into a supervisory agreement with
the  Office of  Thrift  Supervision  in  February  2002.  While in  effect,  the
agreement  limited  the Bank's loan  originations  and asset  growth,  including
restricting the Bank from originating non-owner occupied residential real estate
loans (both one- to four-family  investor  loans and  multi-family  loans).  The
agreement was  terminated on December 10, 2003.  See  Supervisory  Agreements on
page 64.

         The Bank's  principal  sources of  revenue  consist of income  from its
residential  real estate loans,  commercial real estate loans and consumer loans
and its  investment  securities  as well as from a variety of  deposit  services
offered to its customers  through two offices  located in  Philadelphia  County,
Pennsylvania, and Gloucester County, New Jersey.

         For the year ended October 31, 2003, the Bank  recognized net income of
$556,000 as compared to $529,000 for 2002. Return on average equity for 2003 was
7.23% as  compared to 7.48% for 2002.  The Bank's  earnings  reflect  strategies
implemented in previous years to strengthen  financial  discipline by evaluating
inefficiencies  within the  organization  that  resulted  in the  closing of two
branch  offices.  Savings on occupancy and equipment  costs  resulting  from the
closing of the  Germantown  office more than offset a reduction  in net interest
margin to 3.26% for 2003 from 3.54% for 2002. Meanwhile, asset quality continued
to  improve  as the  Bank  focused  on  enhancing  its  credit  risk  management
procedures that resulted in a reduction of nonperforming  assets.  Average loans
outstanding  declined during the period due to refinancings of mortgage loans as
customers  took  advantage of the low  interest  rate  environment.  Funding for
operations continues to be primarily from a competitively priced deposit product
portfolio,  as well as  from  investment  repayments  and  maturities.  Leverage
capital ratios remained strong at 8.89% in 2003.

Business Strategy

         In the future, the Bank's business strategy will be to grow and improve
its profitability by:

          o    Emphasizing  one- to four-family  residential real estate lending
               (both owner  occupied and investor  owned),  while  continuing to
               originate multi-family and commercial real estate lending;

          o    Increasing assets;

          o    Utilizing  the  capital  raised in the  offering  to help  manage
               interest rate risk;

          o    Offering new products and services to the Bank's customers; and

          o    Maintaining high asset quality.

                                       29



         In addition,  the Bank may expand either  through  opening or acquiring
branch  offices.  The Bank may also relocate its Sewell,  New Jersey office to a
new  site.  The  Bank  does  not,  however,  have  any  current  understandings,
agreements or  arrangements  for the expansion of its business,  either  through
repositioning existing branches or the addition of new branch offices.

         Furthermore,  the Bank currently plans to add seven full time employees
to  its  staff  over  the  next  several  years,   including  up  to  three  new
lender/business development officers, an assistant branch manager, and a support
staff  employee  in  each  of  the  accounting,  lending  and  customer  service
departments.

Critical Accounting Policies

         The Bank's  accounting  policies  are  integral  to  understanding  the
results reported.  The accounting  policies are described in detail in Note 1 of
the  consolidated  financial  statements.  The Bank's  most  complex  accounting
policies  require  management's  judgment to ascertain  the valuation of assets,
liabilities,  commitments and contingencies.  The Bank has established  detailed
policies and control  procedures that are intended to ensure  valuation  methods
are well controlled and applied consistently from period to period. In addition,
the policies and procedures are intended to ensure that the process for changing
methodologies  occurs in an  appropriate  manner.  Management  believes that the
determination of the allowances for loan losses is a critical policy.

         Allowance for Loan Losses.  Evaluation of the allowance for loan losses
involves  a high  degree of  judgment.  The  Bank's  allowance  for loan  losses
provides for losses based upon  evaluations of known and inherent  losses in the
loan portfolio  that are both probable and reasonable to estimate.  Accordingly,
all loan losses are charged to the allowance, and all recoveries are credited to
it.

         Management uses historical information to assess the allowance for loan
losses as well as the  prevailing  business  environment,  as it is  affected by
changing economic conditions and various external factors,  which may impact the
portfolio in ways currently unforeseen. The allowance is increased by provisions
for loan losses and by recoveries of loans previously charged off and reduced by
loans charged off. For a full discussion of the Bank's  methodology of assessing
the allowance  for loan losses,  refer to Note 1 of the  consolidated  financial
statements commencing on page F-7.

Comparison of the Results of  Operations  for the Fiscal Years Ended October 31,
2003 and October 31, 2002

         The Bank reported net income of $556,000 for 2003,  which represents an
increase  of  $27,000,  or 5.1%,  over  2002.  This  increase  in net  income is
primarily due to a reduction in noninterest expenses of $108,000, which resulted
from savings  associated  with closing a branch  office  located in  Germantown,
Pennsylvania  coupled  with a reduction  in income  taxes of $74,000.  Partially
offsetting  these  reductions in expenses in 2003 was a decrease in net interest
income of $168,000.

         Net  Interest  Income.  Net  interest  income  for  2003  decreased  to
$2,670,000 as compared to $2,838,000  for 2002.  The Bank's net interest  margin
for 2003 was 3.26%, versus 3.54% for 2002.

         Interest  income for 2003 was  $5,120,000 as compared to $5,837,000 for
2002. This decrease of $717,000 or 12.3% was influenced  primarily by a decrease
in interest  earned on loans  receivable of $716,000 and was the product of both
volume and rate  fluctuations  during the period.  The average  balance of loans
receivable decreased $5,597,000 to $49,785,000 during 2003 and was the result of
mortgage loan

                                       30



repayments  due to  customers  refinancing  in the  current  low  interest  rate
environment.  The  tax-equivalent  yield on interest earning assets decreased to
6.21% for 2003 from  7.27% for 2002,  and  primarily  resulted  from a 113 basis
point and 50 basis point decrease in investment securities and loans receivable,
respectively.  During  2003,  funds  from the  rapid  prepayment  of  loans  and
mortgage-backed   securities   as  well  as  new  deposits   were   invested  at
substantially lower rates than the previous year.

         Interest  expense  decreased  $550,000 or 18.3% for 2003 to  $2,450,000
from  $3,000,000  for 2002.  Interest  expense  incurred on  deposits  decreased
$478,000  for 2003 as compared  to 2002 and was  primarily  attributable  to the
current  interest  rate  environment  that resulted in a lowering of the cost of
funds to 3.25% for 2003 from 4.08% for 2002. Although the Bank reduced its costs
on all deposit  products  during 2003, the largest decline was in certificate of
deposit rates which decreased by 94 basis points. Interest expense on borrowings
also decreased,  $222,000 for 2003 as compared to $294,000 for 2002, as a result
of a decline in average balances.

         Loan Loss Provision. The loan loss provision is based upon management's
assessment of a variety of factors, including types and amounts of nonperforming
loans,  historical  loss  experience,  collectibility  of collateral  values and
guaranties, pending legal action for collection of loans and related guaranties,
and current economic  conditions.  The allowance  represents  management's  best
estimate of known and inherent losses in the loan portfolio at the balance sheet
date that are both  probable and  reasonable to estimate.  However,  actual loan
losses could exceed the amounts that have been charged to operations.

         The  provision  for loan  losses  was  $33,000 in 2003 as  compared  to
$25,000 in 2002.  Non-performing loans decreased to $382,000 at October 31, 2003
compared  to  $550,000  the  year  prior.  Average  loans  outstanding  for 2003
decreased to $49.8 million from $55.4 million for 2002.  The slight  increase in
the provision in 2003 reflects mainly a change in the Bank's estimation  methods
during 2003.  During 2003, the Bank increased its recommended  allowance on one-
to  four-family  loans,  both owner  occupied and non-owner  occupied  (investor
loans),  and began using a four year loss average (with a 50% weighting given to
the latest  year)  versus a three  year loss  average  being  used in 2002.  The
relatively  high net  charge-offs  on loans for 2002 impacted the four year loss
average. Net charge-offs were $37,000 in 2003 versus $182,000 for 2002.

         Noninterest Income. Total noninterest income increased slightly in 2003
to $386,000  from  $365,000 for 2002.  Noninterest  income  items are  primarily
comprised of service  charges and fees on deposit account  activity,  along with
fee income  derived  from other  financial  related  services.  The  increase is
principally  due to the  recognition  of  additional  fee  income  from  deposit
accounts due to an increase in both the transactional fees being charged and the
volume of  related  transactions.  Subsequent  to  October  31,  2003,  the Bank
approved a $1,800,000  investment in bank-owned life  insurance,  and $1,500,000
had been invested as of December 31, 2003.  Although  funds for this  investment
will come from other investments, thereby reducing net interest income, the Bank
expects that the after-tax  return from this product,  which will be reported as
noninterest income, will be more than offsetting.

         Noninterest  Expense.  Noninterest expense decreased 4.7% to $2,177,000
for 2003 as compared  to  $2,285,000  for 2002.  Noninterest  expense  items are
primarily  comprised  of  compensation  and  employee  benefits,  occupancy  and
equipment,  federal insurance premiums,  data processing,  professional fees and
various other operational expenses. Compensation and employee benefits decreased
$70,000, or 6.0%, primarily as a result of a decrease in the number of full time
equivalent  employees  coupled with a reduction in discretionary  benefit costs.
Occupancy  and  equipment  expenses  decreased  29.8% or $116,000 as a result of
closing the Bank's  former  Germantown  branch and a reduction  in  depreciation
recognized

                                       31



on capitalized  assets. Net real estate operations consist of the costs incurred
in the temporary  operation of other real estate owned, as well as the gains and
losses  associated  with the  disposal  of such  properties;  in 2003,  the Bank
incurred an expense of $15,000 in this  category,  whereas in 2002,  there was a
gain of $59,000 from the sale of such property,  a negative change of $74,000 in
year to year  comparisons.  In  addition,  federal  deposit  insurance  premiums
decreased  39.6% for 2003 as a result of the lowering of the Bank's risk rating,
while  professional  fees increased $20,000 during 2003 due to increased general
business activity.

         Noninterest  expenses  are  expected  to  increase  in 2004  due to the
additional costs of professional fees associated with becoming a public company,
the  implementation  of an  incentive  retirement  plan for key  employees,  and
expenses from employee stock ownership and restricted stock plans.

         Additionally, the Bank currently plans to add seven full time employees
to  its  staff  over  the  next  several  years,   including  up  to  three  new
lender/business development officers, an assistant branch manager, and a support
staff  employee  in  each  of  the  accounting,  lending  and  customer  service
departments.

         Income  Taxes.  Income taxes  declined  20.3% to $290,000 for 2003 from
$364,000 for 2002 due to a reduction in pretax  income and a decrease in the tax
rate.  The  effective tax rate was reduced to 34.2% for 2003 from 40.7% for 2002
as a result of  adjustments  to prior  year  estimates  of  income  taxes and an
increase in tax-exempt income.

Comparison of Financial Condition at October 31, 2003 and October 31, 2002

         Assets and Liabilities.  The Bank's total assets increased  $2,106,000,
or 2.5%,  to  $87,367,000  at October 31, 2003 from  $85,261,000  at October 31,
2002. This increase primarily resulted from a $3,845,000,  or 16.4%, increase in
investment  securities  available  for  sale  that  was  primarily  funded  by a
$2,258,000 net increase in customer deposits.

         Cash and cash equivalents  decreased  $997,000 to $6,304,000 at October
31, 2003 from  $7,301,000  at October  31,  2002.  The  decrease  resulted  from
temporary  fluctuations  in  deposits  with  other  banks  due to the  timing of
customer activity. The Bank maintains an overnight interest bearing account with
the Federal Home loan Bank.  Excess funds are deposited  there while  management
evaluates  other  investment  opportunities  and to meet current funding of loan
commitments.

         Investment  securities  available for sale  increased to $27,337,000 at
October 31, 2003 from  $23,492,000 at October 31, 2002.  During 2003,  principal
repayments on  mortgage-backed  securities  were utilized for other  operational
purposes,  including the purchase of U.S. government agency securities. This has
resulted in a more diversified  investment portfolio mix between U.S. government
agency and mortgage-backed securities.  These U.S. government agency securities,
which have all been classified as available for sale,  typically have maturities
ranging from 5 to 10 years with yields between 3.0% and 5.5%.

         The Bank also  increased its holdings of insured  municipal  securities
during  the year.  These  competitively  yielding  securities  allow the Bank to
utilize the tax  advantages  of such  securities  based on the Bank's  increased
earnings.

         Net loans  receivable,  which remained  relatively stable in 2003, were
$50,730,000  at October 31, 2003 as compared to $51,689,000 at October 31, 2002.
A slight decrease in one- to four-family mortgages

                                       32



was noted during the year as customers refinanced loans in the low interest rate
environment.  Multi-family  loans  decreased  to $466,000 at October 31, 2003 as
compared  to  $1,289,000  at  October  31,  2002 as a result  of the  regulatory
supervisory   agreement  the  Bank  entered  into  with  the  Office  of  Thrift
Supervision  in  February  2002.   Such  agreement   restricted  the  Bank  from
originating non-owner occupied residential real estate loans, and the balance of
this loan portfolio declined due to principal repayments not being offset by any
new  originations  during the time the Bank was  subject to the  agreement.  The
agreement was terminated on December 10, 2003.  Construction  loans increased to
$1,416,000  at October 31, 2003 as compared to $151,000 at October 31, 2002 as a
result of the Bank  purchasing  participation  interests  in three loans with an
aggregate balance of $1,313,000 at October 31, 2003. Management maintains a loan
pricing structure that while competitive,  also considers interest rate risk and
liquidity  risk. As of October 31, 2003, the Bank had  commitments to fund loans
of $3,273,000.

         At October  31,  2003,  the  allowance  for loan  losses  decreased  to
$263,000 from $267,000 at October 31, 2002, and  represented  0.51% of the gross
loan  portfolio  at both  October  31, 2003 and 2002.  Nonperforming  loans as a
percentage of total net loans  decreased to 0.75% at October 31, 2003 from 1.06%
the year  before.  The Bank had  nonaccrual  loans of $370,000  and  $543,000 at
October  31,  2003 and  2002,  respectively.  Management  does not  believe  the
nonaccrual  loans  or  any  amounts  classified  as  nonperforming  will  have a
significant effect on operations or liquidity in 2004.  Furthermore,  management
is not aware of any trends or  uncertainties  related to any loans classified as
doubtful  or  substandard  that  might  have  a  material  effect  on  earnings,
liquidity, or capital resources.

         Subsequent  to  October  31,  2003,  the  Bank  approved  a  $1,800,000
investment in bank-owned  life  insurance,  commonly  referred to as "BOLI," and
$1,500,000 had been invested as of December 31, 2003.  Bank-owned life insurance
consists of individual policies purchased on the lives of executive officers and
directors of the Bank, and the beneficiary of such policies is the Bank. Returns
on the  investment  of the cash value of the policy are  included  in the Bank's
noninterest  income.  Although  funds for this  investment  will come from other
investments,  thereby  reducing net interest  income,  the Bank expects that the
after-tax  return  from this  product,  which will be  reported  as  noninterest
income,  will more than offset the related  reduction  in net  interest  income.
However,  there can be no  assurance  that the  return on this  investment  will
offset the reduction in net interest income.  The earnings  associated with this
product are considered to offset current employee benefits  expense,  as well as
the addition of deferred compensation plans for officers and directors.

         Total deposits increased $2,258,000, or 3.2%, to $72,273,000 at October
31, 2003 from  $70,015,110 at October 31, 2002. This growth was  concentrated in
transactional,  savings,  and money market  deposits,  and  reflected  continual
marketing efforts as well as the competitive  pricing of such products.  Deposit
growth also was driven by a general shift in customer  preference  away from the
equity markets and into insured bank deposits.  Although time deposits declined,
they  continued to account for 71.6% of the total  deposit  portfolio and remain
the dominant source of funds.

         Federal  Home  Loan  Bank  borrowings  decreased  slightly  in  2003 to
$6,637,000 and  approximately  60% of these  borrowings will mature in 2004. The
proceeds  from these  borrowings  were  originally  utilized to  supplement  the
funding of loan demand.

         Retained  Earnings.  Total  retained  earnings  increased  $285,000  to
$7,672,000  at October 31,  2003 due to net income of  $556,000  that was offset
partially by a decrease in accumulated other  comprehensive  income of $271,000.
Accumulated other  comprehensive  income decreased as a result of changes in the
net  unrealized  gain  on  investment  securities  available  for  sale  due  to
fluctuations  in interest  rates.  The Bank has concluded that any impairment of
its investment securities portfolio is not other than

                                       33



temporary  and is not expected to result in the  noncollection  of principal and
interest  during  the  period.   Accumulated  other  comprehensive  income  will
fluctuate from period to period, reflecting changes in interest rate levels, and
such fluctuations can at times be material. The Bank has disclosed comprehensive
income of $285,000 and $531,000 for the years ending  October 31, 2003 and 2002,
respectively.   Comprehensive   income  considers  the  effects  of  recognizing
unrealized gains and losses on available for sale investment  securities  during
the period on net income.

         The Bank is  currently  in the  process of an initial  stock  offering,
which will include an employee stock ownership plan and a restricted stock plan.
The  proceeds of the stock  offering  would result in  additional  equity in the
immediate future which would be used for general business purposes.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         Liquidity  management  for the Bank is measured and monitored on both a
short- and long-term basis,  allowing  management to better understand and react
to emerging balance sheet trends. After assessing actual and projected cash flow
needs,  management  seeks to obtain funding at the most  economical  cost to the
Bank. Both short- and long-term  liquidity needs are addressed by maturities and
sales of investments securities,  and loan repayments and maturities. The use of
these  resources,  in  conjunction  with  access to  credit,  provides  the core
ingredients for satisfying depositor, borrower, and creditor needs.

         The  Bank's  liquid  assets  consist  of  cash  and  cash  equivalents,
certificates  of  deposit  in  other  financial   institutions   and  investment
securities  classified  as  available  for sale.  The  level of these  assets is
dependent on the Bank's operating,  investing,  and financing  activities during
any given  period.  At  October  31,  2003,  cash and cash  equivalents  totaled
$6,304,000  or 7.2% of total assets while  investment  securities  classified as
available for sale and  certificates of deposit in other financial  institutions
totaled  $27,521,000  or 31.5% of total  assets.  Management  believes  that the
liquidity  needs of the Bank are  satisfied  by the current  balance of cash and
cash equivalents,  readily available access to traditional funding sources, FHLB
borrowings,  and the portion of the investment and loan  portfolios that matures
within  one year.  These  sources  of funds  will  enable  the Bank to meet cash
obligations and off-balance  sheet commitments of $3,273,000 as they come due in
the upcoming year.

         The  Bank's  liquidity  could be  reduced  if a  significant  amount of
certificates  of  deposit,  maturing  within a short  period  of time,  were not
renewed.  It has  been the  Bank's  experience  that a  significant  portion  of
certificates  of deposit  remain  with the Bank  after they  mature and the Bank
believes that this will continue.  Certificates  of deposit  maturing within one
year or less at October 31, 2003 and 2002 totaled  $21,717,000 and  $27,721,000,
respectively.  Total certificates of deposit were $51,855,000 and $52,719,000 at
October 31, 2003 and 2002,  respectively.  Management  does not  anticipate  any
change in its pricing  strategy  relative to certificates of deposit and expects
to  maintain  competitive  pricing  on these  deposits,  relative  to the Bank's
liquidity needs. Depending on the Bank's liquidity needs, if replacement funding
were  necessary,  the Bank could borrow  additional  funds from the Federal Home
Loan Bank and could also sell available for sale securities.  Additionally,  the
liquidity  provided  by  the  stock  offering  in  connection  with  the  Bank's
mutual-to-stock  conversion would offset any reduction in funds from the loss of
maturing certificates of deposit.

         Operating  activities  provided  net cash of $604,000  and $532,000 for
2003 and 2002,  respectively,  and were generated principally from net income of
$556,000 and $529,000 in each of these respective periods.

                                       34



         Investing   activities  consist  primarily  of  loan  originations  and
repayments  and  investment  purchases and  maturities.  For 2003,  cash used by
investing activities primarily consisted of investment purchases of $19,541,000.
Partially  offsetting the cash used by investing  activities was  $15,076,000 of
proceeds from investment security maturities and repayments, as well as net loan
repayments  of $746,000.  For the same period ended 2002,  investing  activities
provided  $1,649,000 in funds  principally  from the net repayment of loans, the
proceeds from repayments and maturities of investment  securities,  and proceeds
from the  sales of real  estate  acquired  through  foreclosure  of  $7,304,000,
$8,752,000,  and $953,000  respectively.  Partially offsetting these amounts was
the purchase of investment  securities for  $15,372,000.  For both periods,  the
lower interest rate environment has resulted in numerous securities being called
and one- to four-family loans being refinanced.

         Subsequent  to  October  31,  2003,  the  Bank  approved  a  $1,800,000
investment in bank-owned  life  insurance,  commonly  referred to as "BOLI," and
$1,500,000 had been invested as of December 31, 2003. Management does not expect
this BOLI investment to have any significant effect on the Bank's liquidity,  as
the Bank has sufficient liquidity to meet its cash flow needs.

         Financing  activities  consist of the  solicitation  and  repayment  of
customer  deposits,  borrowings  and  repayments,  and advances by borrowers for
taxes and  insurance.  During 2003,  net cash  provided by financing  activities
totaled  $2,112,000  and was  principally  derived from an increase in deposits.
During 2002, net cash used for financing  activities  totaled $204,000,  and was
principally  used for  repayments  of  Federal  Home  Loan  Bank  borrowings  of
$1,151,000 that were partially  offset by an increase in deposits of $1,099,000.
The Bank has $4,061,000 in FHLB borrowings coming due in 2004 and is expected to
roll a portion of this into another loan with the FHLB. The funds from the stock
offering in connection with the Bank's  mutual-to-stock  conversion are expected
to reduce the remaining portion, as well as fund general business operations.

         The  following  table  discloses  the  Bank's   contractual   borrowing
obligations as of October 31, 2003.

         The impact of the additional  capital from the stock offering will have
a material effect on the Bank's  liquidity.  Additionally,  the Board may in the
future  implement  a $10.0  million  leveraging  strategy  that  would  increase
borrowings and provide funding for the purchase of investment  securities with a
favorable  interest  rate spread.  Management  is not aware of any other trends,
demands,  commitments,  events or uncertainties  that will result in or that are
reasonably likely to result in the Bank's liquidity  increasing or decreasing in
any material way.

         Management  is  not  aware  of  any  material   trends,   favorable  or
unfavorable,  currently  affecting the Bank's capital  resources (other than the
mutual-to-stock conversion underway). Historically, the Bank's primary source of
capital  has been  retained  earnings,  which  has  supported  past  growth  and
expansion.  The  proceeds of the stock  offering in  connection  with the Bank's
mutual-to-stock  conversion are part of management's new capital planning policy
to ensure  compliance  with  regulations  and to permit  future  expansion.  The
infusion of this new capital  will  significantly  increase  the Bank's  capital
resources by increasing  equity by approximately  $19.2 million to approximately
$26.9 million,  if 2,242,500 shares, the maximum of the offering range, are sold
in the  offering.  Management  also expects the  implementation  of the employee
stock ownership plan and the restricted stock plan and the accompanying costs of
such plans as well as the potential payment of cash dividends to stockholders of
SE Financial Corp. to have an impact on the consolidated  capital position of SE
Financial Corp. and the Bank.

         Regulatory  Capital  Requirements.  The  Bank  is  subject  to  federal
regulations  imposing  minimum  capital  requirements.  Management  monitors the
Bank's Total risk-based,  Tier I risk-based,  and Tier I leverage capital ratios
to assess compliance with regulatory  guidelines.  At October 31, 2003, the Bank
exceeded the minimum capital ratio  requirements.  The Bank's Total  risk-based,
Tier I risk-based,  and Tier I leverage  capital ratios were 21.0%,  20.3%,  and
8.9%, respectively, at October 31, 2003.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

         In August 2001,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  ("FASB")
issued Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards ("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  November 1, 2002, did not have a material
effect on the Bank'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 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 Bank'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

                                       36



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. The
adoption  of this  statement  did  not  have a  material  effect  on the  Bank's
financial  position or results of  operations,  but may in the future  after the
implementation of stock benefit plans.

         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  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  September  30,  2003,  except as stated  below and for  hedging
relationships  designated  after  September  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 September 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 September 30, 2003. The adoption of this statement
did not have a material  effect on the Bank's  financial  position or results of
operations.

         In May 2003,  the FASB  issued  FAS No.  150,  Accounting  for  Certain
Financial  Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity. This
statement  establishes  standards  for how an  issuer  classifies  and  measures
certain  financial  instruments  with  characteristics  of both  liabilities and
equity.  It  requires  that an issuer  classify a financial  instrument  that is
within  its  scope as a  liability  (or an asset  in some  circumstances).  Such
instruments  may have been  previously  classified as equity.  This statement is
effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003,
and  otherwise  is  effective  at the  beginning  of the  first  interim  period
beginning  after June 15,  2003,  except for  mandatorily  redeemable  financial
instruments of nonpublic  entities.  These financial  instruments are subject to
the  provisions of this  Statement for the first fiscal period  beginning  after
December 15, 2003. The adoption of this statement has not and is not expected to
have a material effect on the Bank's reported equity.

         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

                                       37



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 Bank'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 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.  In October, 2003, the FASB decided to
defer to the fourth quarter from the third quarter the  implementation  date for
Interpretation  No. 46. This deferral only applies to variable interest entities
that existed prior to February 1, 2003. The adoption of this  interpretation has
not and is not  expected  to have a  material  effect  on the  Bank's  financial
position or results of operations.

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices

         The Bank's  consolidated  financial  statements and related data herein
have been prepared in accordance with accounting  principles  generally accepted
in the  United  States  of  America,  which  require  measurement  of  financial
condition  and results of operations  in terms of  historical  dollars,  without
considering  changes in the relative  purchasing power of money over time due to
inflation.

         Because the primary assets and  liabilities of the Bank are monetary in
nature,  changes in the general  level of prices for goods and  services  have a
relatively minor impact on total expenses.  Increases in operating expenses such
as salaries and  maintenance  are in part  attributable  to inflation.  However,
interest  rates  have  a far  more  significant  effect  than  inflation  on the
performance of financial institutions, including the Bank.

                                       38



Market Risk and Net Portfolio Value

         Market  risk is the risk of loss of  income  from  adverse  changes  in
prices and rates that are set by the market. The Bank is at risk because changes
in interest  rates may affect the income it  receives on lending and  investment
activities,  as well as the costs associated with its deposits and borrowings. A
sudden and substantial change in interest rates may affect earnings if the rates
of interest that the Bank earns on its loans and investments  does not change at
the same speed,  to the same extent or on the same basis as the  interest  rates
the Bank pays on its deposits and borrowings.  The Bank makes it a high priority
to actively monitor and manage its exposure to interest rate risk.

         At October  31,  2003,  $24.2  million of the  Bank's  certificates  of
deposit were five year  certificates that have provisions which allow depositors
to withdraw funds without incurring an early withdrawal  penalty. If rates rise,
these deposits may be withdrawn without penalty and the actual maturity of these
certificates  of deposit  may be  materially  less than  indicated.  The Bank no
longer  offers  certificates  of deposit  with this  no-penalty  provision.  See
Sources  of Funds - Deposits  on page 59 for  additional  information  regarding
these certificates of deposit.

         The Bank seeks to manage  interest rate  sensitivity  through its asset
and  liability  committee  which is comprised of members of  management  and the
Board of Directors.  The committee  begins by evaluating  the interest rate risk
that is  inherent  in the  makeup of the  Bank's  assets  and  liabilities.  The
committee  then  considers  the  Bank's  business  strategy,  current  operating
environment,  capital and liquidity requirements,  as well as the Bank's current
performance objectives,  to determine an appropriate level of risk. The Board of
Directors has adopted guidelines within which the Bank manages its interest rate
risk, trying to minimize to the extent practical its vulnerability to changes in
interest  rates.   These  strategies  include  focusing  the  Bank's  investment
activities on short and medium-term  securities;  emphasizing  medium-term loans
and loans with adjustable rate features;  maintaining and increasing transaction
deposit accounts, as these accounts are considered to be relatively resistant to
changes in interest rates; and utilizing  deposit  marketing  programs to adjust
the term or repricing of its liabilities.

         The Bank also monitors its interest rate sensitivity through the use of
an  asset/liability  management  model  which  estimates  the  change in its net
portfolio  value in the event of a range of assumed  changes in market  interest
rates.  Net  portfolio  value is defined as the current  market value of assets,
less the current market value of liabilities, plus or minus the current value of
off-balance  sheet items.  The change in net portfolio value measures the Bank's
vulnerability  to  changes in  interest  rates by  estimating  the change in the
market value of its assets,  liabilities and off-balance sheet items as a result
of an  instantaneous  change in the general level of interest rates (i.e.  shock
analysis).  At October 31, 2003, the Bank had off-balance  sheet items which are
described in Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements.

         As market interest rates decreased during 2003, the average  maturities
of loans and investment securities shortened due to quicker prepayments. Deposit
accounts  have only  relatively  minor  movements in a declining  interest  rate
environment,  since they are  primarily  short term in nature,  resulting in the
value of deposits decreasing more quickly than the value of assets increase.  If
market  interest  rates begin to increase,  the average  maturities of loans and
securities  will  lengthen as  prepayments  decrease.  Decreases in the value of
these  loans  and  securities  occur  at a more  rapid  rate in the  Bank's  net
portfolio  value model than  increases  in the value of its  deposits.  The slow
increase  in  the  value  of the  Bank's  deposits  in a  rising  interest  rate
environment is due to the high  concentration  of certificates of deposit in the
deposit base which have terms of one year or less.

up to 300 basis  points from the level at  September  30,  2003.  The -200bp and
- -300bp  scenarios  are  not  shown  due  to the  low  prevailing  interest  rate

         The net portfolio  value model,  shown above,  which is prepared by the
Office of Thrift  Supervision,  has certain  shortcomings and is as of September
30, 2003,  and not the Bank's fiscal year end of October 31, 2003.  Based on the
model,  certain  assumptions  are made that may or may not actually  reflect how
actual yields and costs will react to market  interest rates.  For example,  the
net portfolio value model assumes that the makeup of its interest rate sensitive
assets and  liabilities  will remain  constant  over the period being  measured.
Thus,  although using such a model can be instructive in providing an indication
of the Bank's exposure to interest rate risk, the Bank cannot precisely forecast
the effects of a change in market interest rates,  and the results  indicated by
the model are likely to differ from actual results.

(1)  Non-accruing  loans have been  included in loans  receivable,  net, and the
     effect of such inclusion was not material.
(2)  Interest rate spread represents the difference between the average yield on
     interest-earning   assets  and  the   average   cost  of   interest-bearing
     liabilities.
(3)  Net yield on  interest-earning  assets  represents net interest income as a
     percentage of average interest-earning assets.

         Rate/Volume Analysis.  The relationship between the volume and rates of
the Bank's interest-bearing  assets and interest-bearing  liabilities influences
the Bank's net interest income.  The following table reflects the sensitivity of
the  Bank's  interest  income and  interest  expense to changes in volume and in
prevailing  interest rates during the periods indicated.  Each category reflects
the:  (1) changes in volume  (changes  in volume  multiplied  by old rate);  (2)
changes in rate (changes in rate multiplied by old volume);  and (3) net change.
The net change  attributable  to the combined impact of volume and rate has been
allocated proportionally to the absolute dollar amounts of change in each.

                  BUSINESS OF ST. EDMOND'S FEDERAL SAVINGS BANK

General

         St. Edmond's  Federal  Savings Bank was originally  chartered and began
operations in 1912 as St. Edmond's  Building and Loan  Association.  It became a
federally-chartered  savings bank in 1995.  The Bank's  deposits  are  federally
insured by the Savings Association Insurance Fund as administered by the Federal
Deposit  Insurance  Corporation.  The Bank is  regulated by the Office of Thrift
Supervision and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

         The  Bank  is  a  community-oriented  savings  organization,  providing
traditional retail banking services. The Bank's lending products include one- to
four-family  residential  mortgage loans (including investor loans and mixed-use
loans),  multi-family  mortgage  loans,  commercial  real estate mortgage loans,
construction loans, home equity loans,  savings account loans and other consumer
loans.  The  Bank's  primary  source  of funds  for its  lending  and  investing
activities is deposits,  with an emphasis on certificates  of deposit.  The Bank
conducts  its  operations  through  its main  office  located  in  Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania and a branch office located in Sewell, New Jersey.

         At October 31, 2003, the Bank had total assets,  deposits, and retained
earnings of $87.4 million,  $72.3 million, and $7.7 million,  respectively.  The
Bank attracts deposits from the general public and uses these deposits primarily
to originate loans and to purchase  mortgage-backed  and other  securities.  The
principal  sources of funds for the Bank's lending and investing  activities are
deposits,  the repayment and maturity of loans and the sale, maturity,  and call
of  securities.  The  principal  source  of  income  is  interest  on loans  and
investment and  mortgage-backed  securities.  The principal  expense is interest
paid on deposits.

Market Area and Competition

         The Bank  defines its primary  market areas to include  certain  postal
codes surrounding its main office located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, with an
emphasis on the south Philadelphia  market, and certain postal codes surrounding
its branch office located in Sewell,  New Jersey. The Bank also originates loans
on real estate located within a 100 mile radius of its main office and considers
this area as within its primary market area.

         The   Philadelphia   market  is  an  urban   market  area  and  can  be
characterized  as having a blue collar  customer base,  lower average  household
incomes and lower average home prices. In comparison to the Philadelphia market,
the Sewell  market is a more  affluent  suburban  area with a more white  collar
customer base, higher average household incomes and higher average home prices.

                                       43



         The   Philadelphia   office  is  the  primary  office  for  the  Bank's
activities.  At October 31, 2003,  deposits at the  Philadelphia  office totaled
approximately   $67.9  million  and  deposits  at  the  Sewell  office   totaled
approximately $4.4 million.

         The  Bank's  business  of  attracting  deposits  and  making  loans  is
primarily  conducted  within its primary  market areas.  A downturn in the local
economy,  therefore,  could  reduce the amount of funds  available  for deposit,
hamper the  ability  of  borrowers  to repay  their  loans and lower  collateral
values, which would likely hurt the Bank's profitability.

         The Bank faces substantial  competition in attracting  deposits,  which
are its primary  source of funds for lending,  and in the  origination of loans.
Many of the Bank's  competitors are significantly  larger  institutions and have
greater  financial  and  managerial  resources.  The  Bank's  ability to compete
successfully is a significant factor affecting its profitability.

         The Bank's  competition  for deposits and loans  historically  has come
from other insured financial  institutions such as local and regional commercial
banks,  thrift  institutions,  and credit unions  located in the Bank's  primary
market areas.  The Bank also competes with mortgage  banking  companies for real
estate loans, and commercial banks and savings  institutions for consumer loans.
The Bank also faces  competition  for funds  from  investment  products  such as
mutual funds, short-term money funds and corporate and government securities.

Lending Activities

         General.  The Bank's loan  portfolio is primarily  comprised of one- to
four-family  residential  real estate  loans,  most of which have fixed rates of
interest.

         In the future,  the Bank intends to grow its total loan portfolio while
generally  maintaining  the same  relative  percentage  of each category as they
stood at October 31, 2003.

(1)  Included in this category are lines of credit, mixed-use loans and investor
     loans.

         One- To Four-Family Mortgage Loans. The Bank's primary lending activity
consists of the origination of one- to four-family  mortgage loans, the majority
of which are secured by property located in Philadelphia  County,  Pennsylvania.
Included in this category are mortgage loans on mixed-use properties,  which are
properties  that  combine  retail or service  activity  with up to four units of
residential housing.  Also included in the one- to four-family category are home
equity lines of credit.

         The Bank  generally  originates  mortgage loans in amounts up to 80% of
the lesser of the appraised value or purchase price of a mortgaged property, but
will also permit  loan-to-value  ratios up to 95%.  For loans  exceeding  an 80%
loan-to-value  ratio,  the Bank requires the borrower to obtain private mortgage
insurance  covering the Bank for any loss on the amount of the loan in excess of
80% in the event of foreclosure.  The majority of the Bank's one- to four-family
mortgage loans are originated  with fixed rates,  and generally have terms of 15
years or less,  although some have  maturities of up to 30 years.  The Bank also
offers  adjustable-rate  loans which have interest rates that adjust annually to
the yield on one-year,  three-year or five-year U.S. Treasury  securities plus a
margin.  These  adjustable-rate  loans have  maturities  of up to 30 years.  The
Bank's one and three-year  adjustable-rate mortgages generally have a cap of two
percentage  points on rate  adjustments  during any one year and five percentage
points over the life of the loan.  The five-year  adjustable  rate loan does not
have such limitations.

         The Bank  generally  makes its fixed  rate  mortgage  loans to meet the
secondary  mortgage  market  standards  of Fannie Mae.  The Bank also makes some
non-conforming loans in order to meet the needs of its community and customers.

         Substantially all of the Bank's  residential  mortgages include "due on
sale" clauses,  which are provisions giving the Bank the right to declare a loan
immediately  payable if the borrower sells or otherwise transfers an interest in
the property to a third party.  Property  appraisals on real estate securing the
Bank's  single-family  residential loans are made by state certified or licensed
independent  appraisers  approved  by the  Board of  Directors.  Appraisals  are
performed in accordance  with  applicable  regulations  and  policies.  The Bank
generally  requires title  insurance  policies on all first mortgage real estate
loans  originated.   All  property  secured  loans  require  fire  and  casualty
insurance.  Loans made on property  located in  designated  flood zones  require
minimum flood insurance coverage based on the amount of the loan.

                                       47



         Reflecting the Bank's Philadelphia market area, at October 31, 2003 and
2002, approximately $10.9 million and $12.7 million, respectively, of the Bank's
one- to  four-family  mortgage  loan  portfolio  consisted of mortgage  loans on
nonowner-occupied  properties (investor loans),  representing 30.1% and 33.6% of
one- to  four-family  mortgage  loans and 21.5% and 24.6% of total  loans.  Such
loans are  generally  originated  in  amounts  of up to 75% of the lesser of the
appraised value or purchase price of a mortgaged property. These loans generally
have fixed rates and terms of up to 20 years.

         Multi-Family  and Commercial  Real Estate Loans.  The Bank originates a
limited number of commercial  real estate  mortgage  loans,  including  loans on
multi-family   dwellings,   retail/service  space,  and  other  income-producing
properties.  The Bank generally  requires no less than 25% downpayment or equity
for loans on  multi-family  properties and 30% for  non-residential  properties.
Typically  these  loans are made with fixed  rates of  interest,  terms of up to
twenty-five years and may have a balloon feature.  Essentially all of the Bank's
commercial real estate loans are within the Bank's primary market areas.

         Multi-family  and commercial real estate loans generally are considered
to entail  significantly  greater risk than that which is involved  with one- to
four-family  real estate  lending.  The  repayment  of these loans  typically is
dependent on the successful  operations and income stream of the commercial real
estate and the borrower.  These risks can be significantly  affected by economic
conditions.  In addition,  commercial  real estate  lending  generally  requires
substantially  greater  evaluation and oversight efforts compared to residential
real estate lending.

         Construction    Lending.    The   Bank   participates   in   loans   to
builders/developers  for the construction of multi-unit or mixed-use properties.
The  Bank's  construction   lending  also  includes  loans  to  individuals  for
construction of a primary residence.  The Bank originates  construction loans in
an amount up to 75% of the appraised value for a multi-family or commercial real
estate  construction  loan, and up to 80% for a one- to four-family  residential
construction loan. The Bank typically converts construction loans to individuals
into permanent loans on completion of construction but does not require take-out
financing  prior to  origination.  Essentially  all of the  Bank's  construction
lending is in its primary market areas.

         Construction  loans  increased  to  $1,416,000  at October  31, 2003 as
compared to  $151,000  at October  31,  2002 as a result of the Bank  purchasing
participation  interests in three loans with an aggregate  balance of $1,313,000
at October  31,  2003.  The Bank's  largest  construction  loan had a balance of
approximately $634,000 at October 31, 2003,  representing a 50% participation on
the construction of a six unit townhouse  development in downtown  Philadelphia.
The other two loans  consist of a  mixed-space  project of four stores and seven
apartment units with a balance of approximately $394,000 at October 31, 2003 and
a  multi-unit  residential  housing  project  with a  balance  of  approximately
$284,000 at October 31, 2003.  The Bank will continue to consider  opportunities
to participate in construction loans if presented.

         Construction lending is generally considered to involve a higher degree
of credit risk than long- term permanent  financing of  residential  properties.
The Bank's risk of loss on a  construction  loan is  dependent  largely upon the
accuracy  of the initial  estimate  of the  property's  value at  completion  of
construction  and  the  estimated  cost  of  construction.  If the  estimate  of
construction  cost and the  marketability of the property upon completion of the
project prove to be inaccurate,  the Bank may be compelled to advance additional
funds to  complete  the  construction.  Furthermore,  if the final  value of the
completed  property is less than the estimated amount, the value of the property
might not be  sufficient  to assure the  repayment  of the loan.  If the Bank is
forced to foreclose on a project prior to completion, there is no assurance that
it will be able to recover all of the unpaid portion of the loan and it may have
to advance  additional  amounts for  completion  and/or hold the property for an
indeterminate period of time.

                                       48



         Home Equity Loans. The Bank's home equity loan portfolio includes fixed
rate second mortgage loans with terms of up to fifteen years.  Home equity loans
are  primarily  originated  in the Bank's  primary  market areas and are made in
amounts up to 80% of value. The Bank also offers home equity loans on investment
properties  in  addition  to loans on primary  residences.  Loans on  investment
properties are made in amounts up to 75% of value.

         Loans on  Savings  Accounts.  The  Bank  originates  loans on  passbook
savings accounts for terms up to five years and loans on certificates of deposit
with  the Bank  for  terms  equal to the  certificate  maturity.  The Bank  will
generally lend up to 90% of the account  balance on a savings  secured loan, not
to exceed $100,000. Amortization on such loans may be up to thirty years, with a
balloon payment on the maturity date.

         Other  Loans.  Other  loans  offered by the Bank  consist of  unsecured
consumer  loans up to a maximum of $5,000 per loan with  terms  generally  up to
five years. Such loans have fixed rates of interest.

         Consumer loans entail greater risks than  residential  mortgage  loans,
particularly consumer loans that are unsecured. Further, consumer loan repayment
is dependent on the borrower's continuing financial stability and is more likely
to be adversely affected by job loss, divorce,  illness or personal  bankruptcy.
Finally,  the application of various federal laws,  including  federal and state
bankruptcy and  insolvency  laws, may limit the amount which can be recovered on
consumer loans in the event of a default.

         Loans to One Borrower.  Under federal law, savings  institutions  have,
subject to certain exemptions, lending limits to one borrower in an amount equal
to the greater of $500,000 or 15% of the  institution's  unimpaired  capital and
surplus.  Accordingly,  as of October 31, 2003, the Bank's loans to one borrower
limit was approximately $1.2 million.

         The Bank's  largest  single  borrower  had an  aggregate  loan  balance
outstanding of approximately $842,000 at October 31, 2003, representing one loan
secured by a  residential  investment  property  and one  construction  loan for
condominiums.  The Bank's second largest  borrower had an aggregate loan balance
outstanding of approximately  $670,000 at October 31, 2003,  representing a loan
secured by his  personal  residence.  The Bank's third  largest  borrower had an
aggregate  loan balance  outstanding  of  approximately  $500,000 at October 31,
2003,  representing four loans secured by commercial real estate,  including one
commercial  property and three mixed-use  properties,  and one loan secured by a
residential  investment  property.  The Bank's  fourth  largest  borrower had an
aggregate  loan balance  outstanding  of  approximately  $499,000 at October 31,
2003,  representing a loan secured by his personal  residence.  The Bank's fifth
largest  borrower had an aggregate  loan balance  outstanding  of  approximately
$464,000 at October 31,  2003,  representing  real estate  loans  secured by two
commercial  properties  and three two- to  four-family  properties in the Bank's
market areas and one loan secured by a second home. At October 31, 2003,  all of
these lending  relationships  were current and performing in accordance with the
terms of their loan agreements.

         Loan  Originations,  Purchases and  Solicitation  and  Processing.  The
Bank's  customary  sources  of  loan  applications   include  repeat  customers,
real-estate  brokers  who meet the  Bank's  underwriting  standards,  referrals,
"walk-in"   customers,   and  customers   responding  to  advertising  in  local
publications.

         The Bank  generally  does  not  purchase  whole  loans.  The Bank  does
occasionally  purchase  participations  in loans originated by others.  The Bank
purchased  participations totaling $1.8 million in 2003 and did not purchase any
participations in 2002. As of October 31, 2003, the Bank's largest

                                       49



participation loan had a balance of approximately  $634,000,  representing a 50%
participation on a condominium construction project in downtown Philadelphia.

         Loan  Commitments.  The Bank gives written  commitments  to prospective
borrowers on all mortgage loans.  Generally,  the commitment requires acceptance
within sixty days of the date of the issuance.  The total amount of  commitments
to extend  credit for mortgage and  consumer  loans as of October 31, 2003,  was
approximately  $3.3  million,  including  commitments  on  lines of  credit  and
including undisbursed portions of construction loans totaling $31,000.

         Loan Approvals.  The management committee has authority to approve real
estate loans to any one borrower up to an aggregate of $300,000. Loans in excess
of $300,000  and up to 10% of the Bank's  unimpaired  capital may be approved by
the  Board  loan  committee.  Loans in excess  of 10% of the  Bank's  unimpaired
capital must be approved by the full Board of Directors.

Non-Performing Loans and Problem Assets

         Collection Procedures.  The borrower is notified by mail when a loan is
15 days delinquent. If the delinquency continues, subsequent efforts are made to
contact the delinquent  borrower and a second  collection notice is sent. When a
loan is ninety days  delinquent,  it is referred to an attorney for  collection.
All reasonable  attempts are made to collect from the borrower prior to referral
to an  attorney  for  collection.  In  certain  instances,  the  Bank may at its
determination modify the loan to enable the borrower to reorganize his financial
affairs and the Bank attempts to work with the borrower to establish a repayment
schedule to cure the delinquency.

         As to mortgage loans, if a foreclosure  action is taken and the loan is
not  reinstated,  paid in full or  refinanced,  the property is sold at judicial
sale at which  the Bank may be the  buyer if there  are no  adequate  offers  to
satisfy the debt. Any property  acquired as the result of foreclosure or by deed
in lieu of  foreclosure  is  classified as real estate owned ("REO") until it is
sold or otherwise disposed of by the Bank. When REO is acquired,  it is recorded
at the lower of the unpaid  principal  balance of the  related  loan or its fair
market value less estimated selling costs. The initial writedown of the property
is charged to the allowance for loan losses.  Adjustments  to the carrying value
of the properties that result from  subsequent  declines in value are charged to
operations in the period in which the declines occur.

         Loans are reviewed on a regular  basis and are placed on a  non-accrual
status when they are more than ninety days delinquent.  Loans may be placed on a
non-accrual status at any time if, in the opinion of management,  the collection
of additional  interest is doubtful.  Interest  accrued and unpaid at the time a
loan is placed  on  non-accrual  status  is  charged  against  interest  income.
Subsequent  payments are either applied to the outstanding  principal balance or
recorded  as  interest  income,  depending  on the  assessment  of the  ultimate
collectibility of the loan.

         For the year ended October 31, 2003,  the amount of interest that would
have been recorded on loans accounted for on a non-accrual  basis if those loans
had been current according to the original loan agreements for the entire period
was $51,000.  This amount was not included in the Bank's interest income for the
period.  The amount of interest  income on loans  accounted for on a non-accrual
basis that was  included  in income  during the year ended  October 31, 2003 was
$27,000.

         Classified  Assets.  Management,  in  compliance  with Office of Thrift
Supervision guidelines,  has instituted an internal loan review program, whereby
loans are classified as special mention,  substandard,  doubtful or loss. When a
loan is  classified  as  substandard  or  doubtful,  management  is  required to
establish a valuation reserve for loan losses in an amount considered prudent by
management.  When  management  classifies a portion of a loan as loss, a reserve
equal to 100% of the loss amount is required to be established or the loan is to
be charged off.

         An asset is considered  substandard if it is inadequately  protected by
the paying capacity and net worth of the obligor or the collateral  pledged,  if
any.  Substandard assets include those characterized by the distinct possibility
that the insured  institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not
corrected.  Assets classified as doubtful have all of the weaknesses inherent in
those classified substandard,  with the added characteristic that the weaknesses
present  make  collection  or  liquidation  in  full,  highly  questionable  and
improbable,  on the basis of currently existing facts,  conditions,  and values.
Assets  classified as loss are those considered  uncollectible  and of so little
value that their continuance as assets without the

                                       51



establishment  of a specific loss reserve is not warranted.  Assets which do not
currently  expose the  insured  institution  to a  sufficient  degree of risk to
warrant  classification  in one of the  aforementioned  categories  but  possess
credit  deficiencies  or  potential  weaknesses  are  required to be  designated
special mention by management.

         Management's  classification  of assets is  reviewed  by the Board on a
monthly  basis  and by the  regulatory  agencies  as part of  their  examination
process.  The following table discloses the Bank's  classification of assets and
designation  of certain  loans as special  mention as of October  31,  2003.  At
October 31, 2003, all of the classified  assets and special  mention  designated
assets  were  loans.  At October  31,  2003,  all of the  $305,000  reported  as
substandard is included within the $382,000 of non-performing loans reported for
that same date.  At October 31,  2003,  the  allowance  for loan losses  totaled
$263,000 and $38,000 of that was recorded in connection  with the loans reported
as substandard for that same date.

         Allowance for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses is a valuation
account that reflects the Bank's  evaluation of the losses known and inherent in
its loan portfolio that are both probable and reasonable to estimate  associated
both with lending  activities and particular  problem assets. The Bank maintains
the allowance  through  provisions for loan losses that are charged to income in
the period they are  established.  The Bank charges  losses on loans against the
allowance for loan losses when it believes the  collection of loan  principal is
unlikely.  Unsecured  loans  are  charged  as  loss  when  they  become  90 days
delinquent.  There is no fixed  number of days after  which  mortgage  loans are
charged off. Rather, the Bank generally  institutes  foreclosure  proceedings on
mortgage loans when they become 90 days delinquent and makes determination as to
when a mortgage  loan  should be  charged  off based on the  sufficiency  of the
collateral for that  particular  mortgage loan.  Recoveries on loans  previously
charged off are added back to the allowance.

         The  Bank's  evaluation  of the  allowance  for  loan  losses  includes
separate review of all loans on which the collectibility of principal may not be
reasonably  assured.  The Bank evaluates all classified  loans  individually and
bases its  determination of a loss factor on the likelihood of collectibility of
principal  including  consideration  of the value of the  underlying  collateral
securing the loan.  Larger loans,  which would  generally  include  multi-family
mortgages,  other commercial real estate loans and construction  loans, are also
generally evaluated for impairment individually.  The Bank also segregates loans
by loan category as part of its allowance  evaluation,  and evaluates homogenous
loans as a group.

         Although there may be other factors that also warrant  consideration in
maintaining  an  allowance  at a level  sufficient  to provide for  probable and
reasonably  estimable  losses,  the Bank  considers  the  following  factors  in
connection  with its  determination  of loss  factors and as part of its overall
evaluation of the allowance for loan losses:

                                       52



          o    its historical loan loss experience;
          o    internal analysis of credit quality;
          o    general levels of non-performing loans and delinquencies;
          o    changes in loan concentrations by loan category;
          o    current estimated collateral values;
          o    evaluation  of  credit  quality   conducted  in  bank  regulatory
               examinations; and
          o    economic and market trends impacting the Bank's lending area.

         This evaluation is inherently  subjective as it requires estimates that
are susceptible to significant  revisions as more information  becomes available
or as future events  change.  Future  additions to the allowance for loan losses
may  be  necessary  if  economic  and  other  conditions  in the  future  differ
substantially from the current operating environment. In addition, the Office of
Thrift Supervision as an integral part of its examination process,  periodically
reviews the Bank's loan and  foreclosed  real estate  portfolios and the related
allowance for loan losses and valuation  allowance for  foreclosed  real estate.
The Office of Thrift  Supervision may require the Bank to increase the allowance
for loan losses or the valuation  allowance for foreclosed  real estate based on
its review of information available at the time of the examination,  which would
negatively affect the Bank's earnings.

         It is the Bank's  policy to review its loan  portfolio,  in  accordance
with  regulatory  classification  procedures,  on at  least a  quarterly  basis.
Additionally,  the Bank maintains a program of reviewing loan applications prior
to making the loan and immediately after loans are made in an effort to maintain
loan quality.

Investment Activities

         General. Federally chartered savings banks have the authority to invest
in various  types of liquid  assets,  including  United  States  government  and
government  agency  obligations,  securities  of various  federal  agencies  and
government-sponsored    entities   (including   securities   collateralized   by
mortgages),  certificates of deposits of insured banks and savings institutions,
municipal securities and corporate debt securities.

         SFAS No. 115,  "Accounting  for Certain  Investments in Debt and Equity
Securities,"  requires  that  securities be  categorized  as "held to maturity,"
"trading securities" or "available for sale," based on management's intent as to
the ultimate  disposition of each security.  SFAS No. 115 allows debt securities
to be classified  as "held to maturity" and reported in financial  statements at
amortized cost only if the reporting  entity has the positive intent and ability
to hold these securities to maturity.  Securities that might be sold in response
to changes in market interest rates, changes in the security's  prepayment risk,
increases in loan demand, or other similar factors cannot be classified as "held
to maturity."

         The Bank does not currently use or maintain a trading account. Debt and
equity  securities  not  classified  as "held to  maturity"  are  classified  as
"available  for  sale."  These  securities  are  reported  at  fair  value,  and
unrealized  gains and losses on the  securities  are excluded  from earnings and
reported, net of deferred taxes, as a separate component of equity.

         All of the Bank's  securities carry market risk insofar as increases in
market rates of interest may cause a decrease in their market value. Investments
in  securities  are made  based on certain  considerations,  which  include  the
interest rate, tax  considerations,  yield,  settlement date and maturity of the
security, the Bank's liquidity position, and anticipated cash needs and sources.
The effect  that the  proposed  security  would  have on the  Bank's  credit and
interest rate risk and risk-based capital is also considered. The Bank

                                       55



purchases  securities to provide necessary liquidity for day-to-day  operations,
and when investable funds exceed loan demand.

         The investment policy of the Bank, which is established by the Board of
Directors,  is designed to foster earnings and liquidity within prudent interest
rate  risk  guidelines,  while  complementing  the  Bank's  lending  activities.
Generally, the Bank's investment policy is to invest funds in various categories
of  securities  and   maturities   based  upon  the  Bank's   liquidity   needs,
asset/liability  management  policies,  investment  quality,  marketability  and
performance  objectives.  Investment  authority  is  held by the  President  and
Executive  Vice  President/Chief  Financial  Officer,  individually,  up to $2.0
million  and  jointly up to $5.0  million.  All  investments  greater  than $5.0
million must be approved by the Board. The Board of Directors reviews the Bank's
securities portfolio on a monthly basis.

         The Bank's investment  policy does not permit  participation in hedging
programs,  interest  rate  swaps,  or  other  activities  involving  the  use of
off-balance  sheet  derivative  financial   instruments.   Further,  the  Bank's
investment  policy does not permit  investment in securities which are not rated
investment grade 'A' or higher at time of purchase.

         The various  obligations held in the Bank's  securities  portfolio have
varying  characteristics  as to rate,  maturity  and call  provisions.  Expected
maturities will differ from contractual  maturities due to scheduled  repayments
and because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay  obligations with and
without prepayment  penalties.  Callable securities totaled  approximately $14.9
million at October 31, 2003, and the Bank's investment yield could be reduced if
these securities are called prior to maturity.

         Mortgage-backed  Securities.  Mortgage-backed  securities  represent  a
participation  interest  in a  pool  of  one-  to  four-family  or  multi-family
mortgages,   although  the  Bank  focuses  its  investments  on  mortgage-backed
securities secured by one- to four-family mortgages.

         The mortgage  originators use  intermediaries  (generally United States
government agencies and government-sponsored  enterprises) to pool and repackage
the  participation  interests in the form of securities,  with investors such as
the Bank receiving the principal and interest  payments on the  mortgages.  Such
United States government agencies and government-sponsored enterprises guarantee
the payment of principal and interest to investors.

         Mortgage-backed  securities are typically  issued with stated principal
amounts,  and the  securities  are backed by pools of  mortgage  loans that have
interest   rates   within  a  specific   range  and  similar   maturities.   The
characteristics  of the  underlying  pool  of  mortgages,  i.e.,  fixed-rate  or
adjustable-rate,  as well as prepayment  risk, are passed on to the  certificate
holder.  Thus, the life of a mortgage-backed  security  approximates the life of
the underlying mortgages.  Mortgage-backed  securities are generally referred to
as mortgage participation certificates or pass-through certificates.  The Bank's
mortgage-backed  securities  consist  primarily  of  securities  issued  by  the
Government   National  Mortgage   Association,   Freddie  Mac  and  Fannie  Mae.
Mortgage-backed   securities  generally  yield  less  than  the  mortgage  loans
underlying  such  securities  because  of their  payment  guarantees  or  credit
enhancements which offer nominal credit risk to the security holder.

Sources of Funds

         General.  Deposits are the major source of the Bank's funds for lending
and other investment purposes. In addition, the Bank derives funds from loan and
mortgage-backed securities principal repayments, and proceeds from the maturity,
call and sale of  mortgage-backed  securities and investment  securities.  While
scheduled loan and  mortgage-backed  securities payments are a relatively stable
source  of  funds,  deposit  inflows  and  loan and  mortgage-backed  securities
prepayments  are  significantly  influenced by general  interest rates and money
market conditions.  Borrowings (principally from the FHLB) are also periodically
used to supplement the amount of funds for lending and investment.

         Deposits.   Deposits  are   obtained   primarily   from   residents  of
Philadelphia County,  Pennsylvania,  and to a lesser degree,  Gloucester County,
New Jersey. Historically,  the Bank has used traditional methods of advertising,
including  print  media,   direct  mail  and  inserts   included  with  customer
statements;  however, it relies primarily on its reputation in the community and
referrals to attract new customers and deposits.  The Bank has from time to time
utilized  the  services  of deposit  brokers  but does not  currently  do so. At
October 31, 2003, brokered deposits totalled $1.1 million. The Bank occasionally
offers premiums or incentives for opening accounts.

         The Bank's  determination  of interest  rates is based upon a number of
factors,  including: (1) the Bank's need for funds based on loan demand, current
maturities  of  deposits  and other cash flow needs;  (2) a current  survey of a
selected  group of  competitors'  rates for  similar  products;  (3) the  Bank's
current  cost of funds and its yield on assets;  and (4) the  alternate  cost of
funds on a wholesale  basis, in particular the cost of borrowings from the FHLB.
Interest rates are reviewed and set by management weekly.

         The  Bank has a high  percentage  of  certificates  of  deposit  in its
deposit  portfolio  (71.6% at October,  31, 2003). The Bank's liquidity could be
reduced if a significant  amount of certificates  of deposit,  maturing within a
short period of time, were not renewed.  Historically,  a significant portion of
the certificates of deposit has remained with the Bank after they mature and the
Bank believes that this will  continue.  However,  the need to retain these time
deposits could result in an increase in the Bank's cost of funds.

         Deposit   accounts  are  summarized  at  October  31,  2003  and  2002,
respectively, as follows:

         Included in the above table are five year  certificates of deposit that
have provisions  which allow  depositors to withdraw funds without  incurring an
early  withdrawal  penalty.  At October 31, 2003,  such  certificates of deposit
totaled $24,241,000. The Bank no longer offers certificates of deposit with this
no- penalty provision. At October 31, 2003, the weighted average rate was 3.805%
and the scheduled  maturities on these  certificates of deposit were as follows:
$3,722,000  within  one year;  $4,036,000  beyond one year but within two years;

         Borrowings.  Deposits  are the  primary  source of funds of the  Bank's
lending and investment  activities and for its general  business  purposes.  The
Bank, as the need arises or in order to take advantage of funding opportunities,
borrows funds in the form of borrowings  from the FHLB to supplement  its supply
of lendable funds and to meet deposit withdrawal  requirements.  Borrowings from
the FHLB are typically  secured by the Bank's stock in the FHLB and a portion of
the Bank's residential mortgage loans and may be secured by other assets, mainly
securities which are obligations of or guaranteed by the U.S. government.

Legal Proceedings

         The Bank,  from time to time, is a party to routine  litigation,  which
arises in the normal  course of  business,  such as claims to enforce  liens and
other  issues  incident  to the  business  of the Bank.  There were no  lawsuits
pending or known to be  contemplated  against  the Bank at October 31, 2003 that
would have a material effect on our operations or income.

                                   REGULATION

         Set forth below is a brief  description  of certain laws that relate to
the  regulation  of the Bank and SE Financial  Corp.  The  description  does not
purport  to be  complete  and is  qualified  in its  entirety  by  reference  to
applicable laws and  regulations.  The Bank and SE Financial Corp.  operate in a
highly  regulated  industry.  This  regulation  and  supervision  establishes  a
comprehensive framework of activities in which a federal savings institution may
engage and is intended  primarily for the  protection  of the deposit  insurance
fund and depositors.

         Any change in applicable statutory and regulatory requirements, whether
by the Office of Thrift Supervision,  the Federal Deposit Insurance  Corporation
or the  United  State  Congress,  could  have a  material  adverse  impact on SE
Financial Corp. and St. Edmond's Federal Savings Bank, and their operations. The
adoption of regulations or the enactment of laws that restrict the operations of
St. Edmond's Federal Savings Bank and/or SE Financial Corp. or impose burdensome
requirements upon one or both of them could reduce their profitability and could
impair the value of the Bank's  franchise,  resulting in negative effects on the
trading price of SE Financial Corp. common stock.

Regulation of SE Financial Corp.

         General.  Upon  completion of the  conversion,  SE Financial Corp. will
become a savings and loan holding company within the meaning of Section 10(o) of
the Home Owners' Loan Act. It will be required to register as a savings and loan
holding company and file reports with the Office of Thrift  Supervision and will
be subject to regulation and examination by the Office of Thrift Supervision. In
addition,  the Office of Thrift Supervision will have enforcement authority over
SE Financial  Corp.  and any  non-savings  institution  subsidiaries.  This will
permit the Office of Thrift Supervision to restrict or prohibit  activities that
it  determines  to be a serious risk to the Bank.  This  regulation  is intended
primarily for the  protection of the  depositors and not for the benefit of you,
as stockholders of SE Financial Corp.

         Activities  Restrictions.  As a savings and loan  holding  company,  SE
Financial Corp. will be subject to statutory and regulatory  restrictions on its
business  activities.  The  nonbanking  activities  of SE  Financial  Corp.  are
restricted  to  certain  activities  specified  by Office of Thrift  Supervision
regulation,  which include performing  services and holding properties used by a
savings  institution  subsidiary,  activities  authorized  for  savings and loan
holding companies as of March 5, 1987, and nonbanking activities permissible for
bank  holding  companies  pursuant  to the Bank  Holding  Company Act of 1956 or
authorized for financial  holding companies  pursuant to the  Gramm-Leach-Bliley
Act. Before engaging in any non- banking activity or acquiring a company engaged
in any such  activities,  SE Financial Corp. must file with the Office of Thrift
Supervision  either a prior  notice  of (in the case of  non-banking  activities
permissible  for bank holding  companies) an  application  regarding its planned
activity or acquisition.

         Mergers and Acquisitions.  SE Financial Corp. must obtain approval from
the Office of Thrift  Supervision  before  acquiring  more than 5% of the voting
stock of another  savings  institution  or savings and loan  holding  company or
acquiring such an institution or holding company by merger, consolidation

                                       62



or purchase of its assets.  In evaluating an application  for SE Financial Corp.
to acquire control of a savings  institution,  the Office of Thrift  Supervision
would consider the financial and managerial resources and future prospects of SE
Financial Corp. and the target institution, the effect of the acquisition on the
risk to the  insurance  funds,  the  convenience  and the needs of the community
(including St. Edmond's  Federal Savings Bank's record of performance  under the
Community Reinvestment Act) and competitive factors.

         Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. On July 30, 2002, the President signed into
law the  Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the "Act"),  which implemented  legislative
reforms intended to address  corporate and accounting  fraud. In addition to the
establishment  of a new accounting  oversight board that will enforce  auditing,
quality control and  independence  standards and will be funded by fees from all
publicly traded companies,  the Act places certain  restrictions on the scope of
services that may be provided by accounting  firms to their public company audit
clients.  Any non-audit services being provided to a public company audit client
will require preapproval by the company's audit committee.  In addition, the Act
makes certain changes to the requirements for partner rotation after a period of
time. The Act requires chief executive officers and chief financial officers, or
their equivalent,  to certify to the accuracy of periodic reports filed with the
Securities and Exchange  Commission,  subject to civil and criminal penalties if
they knowingly or willingly violate this certification requirement. In addition,
under the Act,  counsel  will be  required  to  report  evidence  of a  material
violation of the  securities  laws or a breach of fiduciary duty by a company to
its chief  executive  officer or its chief legal  officer,  and, if such officer
does not appropriately  respond,  to report such evidence to the audit committee
or other similar committee of the board of directors or the board itself.

         Under the Act,  longer prison terms will apply to corporate  executives
who violate  federal  securities  laws; the period during which certain types of
suits can be brought against a company or its officers is extended;  and bonuses
issued  to  top  executives  prior  to  restatement  of  a  company's  financial
statements  are now  subject  to  disgorgement  if such  restatement  was due to
corporate misconduct. Executives are also prohibited from insider trading during
retirement plan "blackout" periods,  and loans to company executives (other than
loans by financial  institutions permitted by federal rules and regulations) are
restricted.  In addition, a provision directs that civil penalties levied by the
Securities and Exchange Commission as a result of any judicial or administrative
action under the Act be deposited to a fund for the benefit of harmed investors.
The Federal  Accounts  for  Investor  Restitution  provision  also  requires the
Securities and Exchange  Commission to develop  methods of improving  collection
rates.  The  legislation  accelerates  the time frame for  disclosures by public
companies,  as they must  immediately  disclose  any  material  changes in their
financial  condition or operations.  Directors and executive  officers must also
provide  information  for most changes in  ownership  in a company's  securities
within two business days of the change.

         The  Act  also  increases  the  oversight  of,  and  codifies   certain
requirements  relating  to audit  committees  of public  companies  and how they
interact with the company's "registered public accounting firm." Audit Committee
members must be independent and are absolutely barred from accepting consulting,
advisory or other compensatory fees from the issuer. In addition, companies must
disclose  whether at least one member of the  committee is a "financial  expert"
(as such term will be defined by the Securities and Exchange  Commission) and if
not, why not. Under the Act, a company's  registered public accounting firm will
be prohibited from performing  statutorily mandated audit services for a company
if such company's chief executive officer, chief financial officer, comptroller,
chief accounting officer or any person serving in equivalent  positions had been
employed by such firm and  participated  in the audit of such company during the
one-year period  preceding the audit initiation date. The Act also prohibits any
officer  or  director  of a  company  or any other  person  acting  under  their
direction from taking any action to fraudulently influence,  coerce,  manipulate
or mislead any independent accountant engaged in the audit

                                       63



of the company's financial statements for the purpose of rendering the financial
statements  materially  misleading.  The Act also  requires the  Securities  and
Exchange  Commission  to  prescribe  rules  requiring  inclusion of any internal
control   report  and   assessment   by  management  in  the  annual  report  to
shareholders.  The Act requires the company's  registered public accounting firm
that issues the audit report to attest to and report on management's  assessment
of the company's internal controls.

Regulation of St. Edmond's Federal Savings

         General.   As  a  federally   chartered,   Federal  Deposit   Insurance
Corporation-insured  savings bank, St. Edmond's  Federal Savings Bank is subject
to  extensive  regulation  by the Office of Thrift  Supervision  and the Federal
Deposit Insurance  Corporation.  This regulatory  structure gives the regulatory
authorities  extensive  discretion  in  connection  with their  supervisory  and
enforcement  activities and examination  policies,  including policies regarding
the classification of assets and the level of the allowance for loan losses. The
activities  of  federal  savings  banks are  subject  to  extensive  regulation,
including  restrictions or  requirements  with respect to loans to one borrower,
percentages of certain types of loans and  investments to total assets,  capital
distributions,   permissible  investments  and  lending  activities,  liquidity,
transactions with affiliates and community  reinvestment.  Federal savings banks
are also subject to reserve  requirements imposed by the Federal Reserve System.
St.  Edmond's  Federal  Savings  Bank's  relationship  with its  depositors  and
borrowers is also  regulated by federal law,  especially  in such matters as the
ownership of savings  accounts  and the form and content of the Bank's  mortgage
documents.

         St. Edmond's  Federal Savings Bank must file reports with the Office of
Thrift Supervision and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation  concerning its
activities and financial  condition,  and must obtain regulatory approvals prior
to entering into certain  transactions  such as mergers with or  acquisitions of
other financial institutions.  Any change in applicable statutory and regulatory
requirements,  whether by the Office of Thrift Supervision,  the Federal Deposit
Insurance  Corporation  or the  United  States  Congress,  could have a material
adverse impact on SE Financial Corp. and St. Edmond's  Federal Savings Bank, and
their operations.

         Supervisory  Agreements.  The  Office of Thrift  Supervision  regularly
examines St. Edmond's  Federal  Savings Bank and prepares  reports to the Bank's
Board of Directors on deficiencies, if any, found in its operations. Based on an
examination  of the  Bank  commenced  in  August  2001,  the  Office  of  Thrift
Supervision  concluded  that the Bank had engaged in acts and practices that (i)
had resulted in violations of laws and  regulations to which the Bank is subject
and/or (ii) were considered by the Office of Thrift Supervision to be unsafe and
unsound.  The Office of Thrift Supervision had concerns  regarding  oversight of
the Bank by the Board and management, citing the failure to establish and update
appropriate  policies  for the Bank's  operations  and failure to  establish  an
internal  audit  program.  Additionally,  the Office of Thrift  Supervision  had
concerns  regarding  asset quality,  in particular the Bank's  underwriting  and
credit  administration  and  monitoring  of the  one- to  four-family  non-owner
occupied mortgage loan portfolio (investor loans).

         As a result of this determination by the Office of Thrift  Supervision,
the Bank  entered  into a  supervisory  agreement  with  the  Office  of  Thrift
Supervision in February  2002.  The Bank operated under such agreement  until it
was terminated on December 10, 2003 following the determination by the Office of
Thrift  Supervision that the Bank was in compliance,  in all material  respects,
with the  directives  the Office of Thrift  Supervision  had made to the Bank in
supervisory  agreement.  The Bank's  loan  originations  and asset  growth  were
restricted  while it was operating under such agreement.  In addition,  the Bank
was subject to a Safety and Soundness  Compliance  Plan from May 2001 to October
31, 2003.

                                       64



         Insurance  of  Deposit   Accounts.   The  Federal   Deposit   Insurance
Corporation  administers two separate deposit  insurance funds.  Generally,  the
Bank Insurance Fund (the "BIF") insures the deposits of commercial banks and the
SAIF ("SAIF") insures the deposits of savings institutions.  The Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation is authorized to increase deposit insurance premiums if it
determines such increases are appropriate to maintain the reserves of either the
SAIF or BIF or to fund  the  administration  of the  Federal  Deposit  Insurance
Corporation.   In  addition,   the  Federal  Deposit  Insurance  Corporation  is
authorized to levy emergency special assessments on BIF and SAIF members.

         In  addition,   all  Federal  Deposit   Insurance   Corporation-insured
institutions  are required to pay assessments to the Federal  Deposit  Insurance
Corporation  to  fund  interest  payments  on  bonds  issued  by  the  Financing
Corporation, an agency of the federal government established to recapitalize the
predecessor to the Savings  Association  Insurance Fund. These  assessments will
continue until the Financing Corporation bonds mature in 2019.

         Regulatory Capital  Requirements.  Office of Thrift Supervision capital
regulations  require savings  institutions to meet three capital standards:  (1)
tangible capital equal to 1.5% of total adjusted assets,  (2) "Tier 1" or "core"
capital  equal to at least 4% (3% if the  institution  has  received the highest
possible rating on its most recent  examination) of total adjusted  assets,  and
(3)  risk-based  capital  equal to 8% of  total  risk-weighted  assets.  For St.
Edmond's  Federal  Savings  Bank's  compliance  with  these  regulatory  capital
standards, see Historical and Pro Forma Capital Compliance on page 22.

         In  addition,  the  Office of Thrift  Supervision  may  require  that a
savings  institution  that has a risk-  based  capital  ratio of less than 8%, a
ratio of Tier 1 capital  to  risk-weighted  assets of less than 4% or a ratio of
Tier 1 capital to total adjusted  assets of less than 4% (3% if the  institution
has received  the highest  rating on its most recent  examination)  take certain
action to increase its capital ratios. If the savings  institution's  capital is
significantly  below  the  minimum  required  levels  of  capital  or  if  it is
unsuccessful in increasing its capital ratios,  the Office of Thrift Supervision
may restrict its activities.

         Tier  1 is  defined  as  common  stockholders'  equity,  non-cumulative
perpetual preferred stock and related surplus,  minority interests in the equity
accounts of consolidated subsidiaries and certain non- withdrawable accounts and
pledged deposits of mutual savings banks. St. Edmond's Federal Savings Bank does
not have any active subsidiaries, non-withdrawable accounts or pledged deposits.
Tier 1 capital is reduced by an institution's  intangible  assets,  with limited
exceptions  for certain  servicing  rights,  interest- only strips and purchased
credit card relationships.  Tier 1 capital is further reduced by an amount equal
to the savings  institution's  debt and equity  investments in  "non-includable"
subsidiaries  engaged in activities not permissible  for national  banks,  other
than subsidiaries engaged in activities  undertaken as agent for customers or in
mortgage banking activities and subsidiaries that are depository institutions or
their holding companies.

         Total capital equals the sum of Tier 1 and supplementary  capital.  The
components  of  supplementary  capital  include,  among other items,  cumulative
perpetual preferred stock,  perpetual  subordinated debt, mandatory  convertible
subordinated  debt,  intermediate-term  preferred  stock, the allowance for loan
losses not  designated  for specific  loan losses (up to 1.25% of  risk-weighted
assets)  and  up to 45% of  unrealized  gains  on  equity  securities.  Overall,
supplementary  capital is limited to 100% of Tier 1  capital.  For  purposes  of
determining  total capital,  a savings  institution's  assets are reduced by the
amount of capital instruments held by other depository  institutions pursuant to
reciprocal   arrangements  and  by  the  amount  of  the  institution's   equity
investments (other than those deducted from Tier 1 and tangible capital) and its
high loan-to-value  ratio land loans and  non-residential  construction loans. A
savings  institution's   risk-based  capital  requirement  is  measured  against
risk-weighted assets, which equal the sum

                                       65



of  each  on-balance-sheet  asset  and  the  credit-equivalent  amount  of  each
off-balance-sheet  item after being multiplied by an assigned risk weight. These
risk  weights  range  from 0% for cash to 100% for  delinquent  loans,  property
acquired through foreclosure, commercial loans, and certain other assets.

         Prompt  Corrective  Regulatory  Action.  Under  the  Office  of  Thrift
Supervision  Prompt  Corrective  Action   regulations,   the  Office  of  Thrift
Supervision is required to take  supervisory  actions  against  undercapitalized
institutions. For this purpose, a savings bank is placed in one of the following
five categories based on the bank's capital:

o    well-capitalized  (at  least  5%  leverage  capital,  6% tier 1  risk-based
     capital and 10% total risk-based capital);

o    adequately  capitalized (at least 3% leverage capital, 4% tier 1 risk-based
     capital and 8% total risk-based capital);

o    undercapitalized  (less  than  8%  total  risk-based  capital,  4%  tier  1
     risk-based capital or 3% leverage capital);

o    significantly  undercapitalized  (less than 6% total risk-based capital, 3%
     tier 1 risk-based capital or 3% leverage capital); and

o    critically undercapitalized (less than 2% tangible capital).

         Generally,  the banking  regulator is required to appoint a receiver or
conservator  for an  institution  that  is  "critically  undercapitalized."  The
regulation also provides that a capital  restoration plan must be filed with the
Office of Thrift  Supervision  within forty-five days of the date an institution
receives notice that it is "undercapitalized,"  "significantly undercapitalized"
or  "critically  undercapitalized."  A capital  restoration  plan must disclose,
among  other  things,  the  steps an  insured  institution  will  take to become
adequately  capitalized  without  appreciably  increasing  the risk to which the
institution is exposed. In addition,  each company that controls the institution
must  guarantee  that the  institution  will  comply  with the  plan  until  the
institution  has been  adequately  capitalized  on average  during  each of four
consecutive  calendar  quarters.  Such guarantee  could have a material  adverse
affect on the  financial  condition of such  guarantor.  In  addition,  numerous
mandatory supervisory actions become immediately  applicable to the institution,
including,  but not limited to, restrictions on growth,  investment  activities,
capital  distributions,   and  affiliate  transactions.  The  Office  of  Thrift
Supervision  may  also  take any one of a number  of  discretionary  supervisory
actions  against  undercapitalized  institutions,  including  the  issuance of a
capital  directive  and  the  replacement  of  senior  executive   officers  and
directors.  If the institution fails to submit an acceptable plan, it is treated
as  if  it  were   "significantly   undercapitalized."   Institutions  that  are
significantly  or  critically  undercapitalized  are subject to a wider range of
regulatory requirements and restrictions.

         Dividend  and Other  Capital  Distribution  Limitations.  The Office of
Thrift Supervision  imposes various  restrictions or requirements on the ability
of savings institutions to make capital distributions, including cash dividends.

         A  savings  institution  that is a  subsidiary  of a  savings  and loan
holding  company,  as St.  Edmond's  Federal  Savings Bank will be following the
conversion,  must  file an  application  or a notice  with the  Office of Thrift
Supervision at least thirty days before making a capital distribution. A savings
institution   must  file  an  application   for  prior  approval  of  a  capital
distribution if: (i) it is not eligible for expedited treatment

                                       66



under the  applications  processing  rules of the Office of Thrift  Supervision;
(ii) the total  amount of all  capital  distributions,  including  the  proposed
capital  distribution,  for the applicable  calendar year would exceed an amount
equal to the  savings  institution's  net  income for that year to date plus the
institution's  retained net income for the preceding  two years;  (iii) it would
not  adequately  be  capitalized  after the  capital  distribution;  or (iv) the
distribution would violate an agreement with the Office of Thrift Supervision or
applicable regulations.

         The Office of Thrift  Supervision  may  disapprove  a notice or deny an
application for a capital  distribution if: (i) the savings institution would be
undercapitalized  following the capital distribution;  (ii) the proposed capital
distribution  raises  safety  and  soundness  concerns;  or  (iii)  the  capital
distribution would violate a prohibition contained in any statute, regulation or
agreement.   In  addition,  a  federal  savings  institution  cannot  distribute
regulatory capital that is required for its liquidation account.

         In addition, the Federal Deposit Insurance Act provides that an insured
depository  institution  shall not make a capital  distribution if, after making
such distribution, the institution would be undercapitalized.

         St.  Edmond's  Federal  Savings Bank will be required to file a capital
distribution  notice or application with the Office of Thrift Supervision before
paying any dividend to SE Financial Corp. Capital  distributions by SE Financial
Corp., as a savings and loan holding company,  will not be subject to the Office
of Thrift Supervision capital distribution rules, except that SE Financial Corp.
will be restricted  by Office of Thrift  Supervision  regulations  from paying a
cash  dividend  to  its  stockholders  during  the  three  years  following  the
conversion  (the term of the  business  plan  submitted  to the Office of Thrift
Supervision  in  connection  with the  Bank's  conversion  application)  if such
dividend would constitute a return of capital.

         Qualified Thrift Lender Test. Federal savings  institutions must meet a
qualified  thrift  lender  ("QTL")  test or they become  subject to the business
activity  restrictions  and branching  rules  applicable to national  banks.  To
qualify as a QTL, a savings  institution  must  either (i) be deemed a "domestic
building and loan association" under the Internal Revenue Code by maintaining at
least 60% of its total  assets in  specified  types of assets,  including  cash,
certain  government  securities,  loans  secured by and other assets  related to
residential real property,  educational loans and investments in premises of the
institution or (ii) satisfy the statutory QTL test set forth in the Home Owners'
Loan Act by  maintaining  at least  65% of its  "portfolio  assets"  in  certain
"Qualified Thrift  Investments"  (defined to include  residential  mortgages and
related equity investments,  certain mortgage-related securities, small business
loans,  student  loans and  credit  card  loans,  and 50% of  certain  community
development loans). For purposes of the statutory QTL test, portfolio assets are
defined  as  total  assets  minus  intangible  assets,   property  used  by  the
institution  in conducting  its business and liquid assets equal to 20% of total
assets.  A savings  institution  must  maintain its status as a QTL on a monthly
basis in at least nine out of every twelve months.  St. Edmond's Federal Savings
Bank  met the QTL test as of  October  31,  2003 and in each of the last  twelve
months and, therefore, qualifies as a QTL.

         Transactions with Affiliates.  Generally,  federal banking law requires
that  transactions  between a savings  institution or its  subsidiaries  and its
affiliates  must  be on  terms  as  favorable  to  the  savings  institution  as
comparable transactions with non-affiliates. In addition, certain types of these
transactions   are  restricted  to  an  aggregate   percentage  of  the  savings
institution's capital.  Collateral in specified amounts must usually be provided
by  affiliates  in order to  receive  loans  from the  savings  institution.  In
addition,  a savings  institution may not extend credit to any affiliate engaged
in  activities  not  permissible  for a bank  holding  company  or  acquire  the
securities  of any  affiliate  that is not a  subsidiary.  The  Office of Thrift
Supervision has the discretion to treat subsidiaries of savings  institutions as
affiliates on a case-by-case basis.

                                       67



         Community  Reinvestment  Act.  Under  the  Community  Reinvestment  Act
("CRA"),  every insured depository  institution,  including St. Edmond's Federal
Savings Bank, has a continuing and  affirmative  obligation  consistent with its
safe and sound operation to help meet the credit needs of its entire  community,
including  low and moderate  income  neighborhoods.  The CRA does not  establish
specific lending requirements or programs for financial institutions nor does it
limit an institution's  discretion to develop the types of products and services
that it believes are best suited to its particular  community.  The CRA requires
the Office of Thrift Supervision to assess each savings  institution's record of
meeting the credit needs of its  community  and to take such record into account
in its evaluation of certain applications by such institution,  such as a merger
or the  establishment  of a branch by St.  Edmond's  Federal  Savings  Bank.  An
unsatisfactory CRA examination rating may be used as the basis for the denial of
an application by the Office of Thrift Supervision. St. Edmond's Federal Savings
Bank received a "satisfactory"  overall rating in its most recent CRA assessment
by the Office of Thrift Supervision.

         Federal Home Loan Bank System.  St. Edmond's  Federal Savings Bank is a
member of the FHLB of Pittsburgh,  which is one of twelve regional  FHLBs.  Each
FHLB  serves as a reserve or central  bank for its members  within its  assigned
region.  It is funded  primarily from funds deposited by financial  institutions
and  proceeds  derived  from the sale of  consolidated  obligations  of the FHLB
System.   It  makes  loans  to  members  pursuant  to  policies  and  procedures
established by the board of directors of the FHLB.

         As a member,  St. Edmond's Federal Savings Bank is required to purchase
and maintain  stock in the FHLB of  Pittsburgh in an amount equal to the greater
of  1% of  its  aggregate  unpaid  residential  mortgage  loans,  home  purchase
contracts  or similar  obligations  at the  beginning of each year or 5% of FHLB
borrowings.  The Bank is in compliance with this  requirement.  The FHLB imposes
various  limitations on borrowings  such as limiting the amount of certain types
of real estate  related  collateral  to 30% of a member's  capital and  limiting
total borrowings to a member.

         The USA Patriot Act. In response to the events of  September  11, 2001,
the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to
Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001, or the USA Patriot Act, was signed
into law on October 26, 2001.  The USA Patriot Act gives the federal  government
new powers to address  terrorist  threats  through  enhanced  domestic  security
measures,  expanded  surveillance  powers,  increased  information  sharing  and
broadened anti-money laundering  requirements.  By way of amendments to the Bank
Secrecy  Act,  Title III of the USA  Patriot  Act  takes  measures  intended  to
encourage information sharing among bank regulatory agencies and law enforcement
bodies. Further,  certain provisions of Title III impose affirmative obligations
on a broad range of financial institutions,  including banks, thrifts,  brokers,
dealers,  credit unions,  money transfer agents and parties registered under the
Commodity Exchange Act.

         Among other requirements,  Title III of the USA Patriot Act imposes the
following requirements with respect to financial institutions:

o    Pursuant  to  Section  352,  all  financial   institutions  must  establish
     anti-money  laundering  programs  that  include,  at minimum:  (i) internal
     policies,  procedures,  and  controls;  (ii)  specific  designation  of  an
     anti-money laundering  compliance officer;  (iii) ongoing employee training
     programs;  and (iv) an  independent  audit  function to test the anti-money
     laundering program.

o    Section 326  authorizes  the Secretary of the  Department  of Treasury,  in
     conjunction with other bank regulators, to issue regulations by October 26,
     2002  that  provide  for  minimum   standards   with  respect  to  customer
     identification at the time new accounts are opened.

                                       68



o    Section 312  requires  financial  institutions  that  establish,  maintain,
     administer,  or manage private banking accounts or correspondence  accounts
     in the United States for non-United States persons or their representatives
     (including  foreign  individuals  visiting the United  States) to establish
     appropriate,   specific,  and,  where  necessary,  enhanced  due  diligence
     policies,  procedures,  and  controls  designed to detect and report  money
     laundering.

o    Effective  December 25, 2001,  financial  institutions  are prohibited from
     establishing, maintaining, administering or managing correspondent accounts
     for foreign shell banks (foreign banks that do not have a physical presence
     in any country),  and will be subject to certain record keeping obligations
     with respect to correspondent accounts of foreign banks.

o    Bank regulators are directed to consider a holding company's  effectiveness
     in combating  money  laundering when ruling on Federal Reserve Act and Bank
     Merger Act applications.

         The  federal  banking  agencies  have  begun to propose  and  implement
regulations  pursuant  to the  USA  Patriot  Act.  These  proposed  and  interim
regulations  would  require  financial  institutions  to adopt the  policies and
procedures contemplated by the USA Patriot Act.

                                    TAXATION

Federal Taxation

         Savings  institutions are subject to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended (the "Code"), in the same general manner as other corporations.

         All thrift institutions are now subject to the same provisions as banks
with respect to deductions for bad debts.  Thrift  institutions that are treated
as "small banks" (the average  adjusted bases for all assets of such institution
equals  $500  million or less) under the Code may account for bad debts by using
the  experience  method for  determining  additions  to their bad debt  reserve.
Thrift  institutions  that  are not  treated  as  small  banks  must now use the
specific charge-off method.

         SE  Financial  Corp.  may  exclude  from its income  100% of  dividends
received  from  St.  Edmond's  Federal  Savings  Bank as a  member  of the  same
affiliated group of corporations.  A 70% dividends received deduction  generally
applies  with  respect to  dividends  received  from  corporations  that are not
members of such affiliated group.

         St. Edmond's Federal Savings Bank's federal income tax returns for 1998
and 1999 tax years were audited by the IRS in 2002.

State Taxation

         The Bank is required to file and SE Financial Corp. will be required to
file a  Pennsylvania  income tax return.  Pennsylvania  imposes an income tax of
approximately   11.5%  of  net  income  as  computed  under  generally  accepted
accounting principles. The Bank is also required to file a New Jersey income tax
return for the apportioned  amount of the Bank's income  attributable to its New
Jersey  branch  office and is subject to a New Jersey  state  income tax that is
calculated based on federal taxable income,  subject to certain adjustments.  In
July 2002, New Jersey  eliminated the 3% tax rate formerly  applicable to thrift
institutions located in New Jersey, and such institutions are now subject to the
9% tax rate applicable to New Jersey  corporations.  Such change was retroactive
to January 1, 2002.

                                       69



         St.  Edmond's  Federal Savings Bank's state income tax returns have not
been audited during the past five years. For additional information,  see Note 8
of the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

                                   MANAGEMENT

Directors  and  Officers of the SE  Financial  Corp.  and St.  Edmond's  Federal
Savings Bank

         The Bank's Board of Directors is currently  composed of 11 members each
of whom serves for a term of three years,  with  approximately  one-third of the
directors  elected each year.  The Bank's  officers are elected  annually by the
Board and serve at the Board's discretion.

         SE Financial  Corp.'s  Board of  Directors is currently  composed of 10
members  each  of whom  serves  for a term of  four  years,  with  approximately
one-fourth of the directors  elected each year. All of the directors of the Bank
became directors of SE Financial Corp. upon its incorporation,  other than Frank
S. DePaolo.  The terms for directors of SE Financial  Corp.  will be the same as
those of the Bank,  except for Marcy C.  Panzer and Gilbert  Barsky  whose terms
will expire in 2008 and Ben Kovnat whose term will expire in 2007.  SE Financial
Corp.'s  officers  are  elected  annually  by the Board and serve at the Boards'
discretion.

         The following table sets forth  information with respect to the current
directors and executive  officers of SE Financial Corp. and St. Edmond's Federal
Savings Bank.

         Mr. P. Charles DeRita, who served as a director of the Bank since 1991,
passed away in March 2004.  Mr.  DeRita was the sole owner of Hallmark  Abstract
Co., Inc., a title insurance company located in Philadelphia,  Pennsylvania.  He
provided many years of quality service to the Bank.

Meetings and Committees of the Board of Directors

         Following the offering,  SE Financial  Corp.'s Board of Directors  will
establish  committees  as deemed  appropriate  by the Board and as  required  by
applicable laws and regulations. SE Financial Corp.'s Board of Directors did not
meet during the year ended  October 31, 2003 as the company was not formed until
2004.

         The  Board of  Directors  of the Bank  conducts  its  business  through
meetings of the Board and through activities of its committees.  During the year
ended October 31, 2003, the Bank's Board of Directors met 13 times.  No director
attended  fewer than 75% of the total  meetings of the Bank's Board of Directors
and  committees on which he served  during the year ended October 31, 2003.  The
Bank's Board has an Audit Committee, a Loan Committee, a Compliance Committee, a
Human   Resources   Committee,    an   REO/Classified   Assets   Committee,   an
Asset/Liability  Committee,  a Business  Development  Committee  and an Advisory
Committee. There is no standing nominations committee.

         The Audit  Committee  consists of  Directors  Susanne  Shuster,  Samuel
Barsky,  Marcy C.  Panzer and J.  William  Parker,  Jr. and  President  Frank S.
DePaolo and Executive Vice President  Joseph  Sidebotham.  This committee  meets
quarterly with the internal auditor and independent accountants and periodically
as needed with the Bank's compliance auditors.

         The Human Resource Committee consists of Directors Andrew A. Hines, Ben
Kovnat and Megan L.  Mahoney and  President  Frank S.  DePaolo,  Executive  Vice
President  Joe  Sidebotham  and Vice  President  Rick Lemcoe.  Messrs.  DePaolo,
Sidebotham and Lemcoe do not participate in committee  decisions regarding their
own compensation. This committee meets at least quarterly.

Director Compensation

         Board Fees.  Each director is paid an annual retainer of $5,000 paid in
twelve monthly installments. The Chairman of the Board and the Secretary receive
an additional retainer of $20,600 and

                                       72



$12,360, respectively.  Directors receive $50 per committee meeting attended and
committee  chairpersons receive an additional $500 per year. The total fees paid
to the directors for the year ended October 31, 2003 were approximately $69,000.
The Bank's  director  emeritus  is paid an annual fee of  $5,000,  and  advisory
directors  are paid an annual  fee of  $2,500.  Committee  members  who are also
full-time Bank employees do not receive compensation as committee members.

         Incentive   Retirement   Plan.   The  Bank   implemented  an  incentive
compensation  plan,  effective January 1, 2004, to reward key management and the
Board of Directors for achieving  strategic goals of the Bank.  Under such plan,
the future value of units  awarded to plan  participants  will be based upon the
accumulation  of future  retained  earnings  of the Bank,  on an  unconsolidated
basis, above the level of the Bank's retained earnings at January 1, 2004. As of
the date of such  award on  January  1,  2004,  such  units  have no value.  The
aggregate  future  value of such units  will equal up to 10% of the  accumulated
future retained earnings of the Bank.  Expenses accrued for the increases in the
future value of units awarded will reduce the Bank's future earnings.  There are
no specific performance targets set under the plan at this time.

         The units were awarded to the  executive  officers and directors of the
Bank as of January 1, 2004 in proportion to the 2003  compensation  paid to such
persons.  Sixty  percent of such units have been awarded to the directors of the
Bank  and 40% of  such  units  have  been  awarded  to the  executive  officers,
including  approximately  24% of such  aggregate  units  to  Frank  S.  DePaolo,
President  of  the  Bank.  Such  units  are  earned  and  non-forfeitable  after
participants  have  completed  not less than three  years of service  (including
prior service) with the Bank.  Distributions  of benefits under the plan will be
made following retirement,  termination of service, death or a change in control
of the Bank.  The benefit  paid to a plan  participant  will be the  accumulated
value of his or her  units  calculated  based  upon  the  growth  in the  Bank's
reported  retained earnings between January 1, 2004 and the time of distribution
of the benefit to a plan participant.  Payments are forfeited if the participant
violates a non-compete agreement with the Bank, if any. The future value of such
units  awarded  and the  annual  expense  of the plan is based  upon the  future
earnings of the Bank and increases in the Bank's future retained  earnings on an
unconsolidated  basis. To the extent the Bank implements other  compensation and
benefit programs,  including any stock-based  compensation  programs,  which may
increase the Bank's expenses,  the accumulated  value of the units awarded under
this plan will be adversely affected.

Executive Compensation

         Summary Compensation Table. The following table sets forth the cash and
non-cash  compensation awarded to or earned by the Bank's president for the year
ended  October 31, 2003.  No other  officer  received a total annual  salary and
bonus in excess of $100,000 during the reporting period.

(1)  Consists of Bank's contribution under 401(k) Plan.

         Executive  Life  Insurance  Program.  The Bank has  implemented  a life
insurance program for President DePaolo and Executive Vice President Sidebotham.
Such plan provides for a death benefit of

                                       73



250% of salary up to a maximum  benefit of  $400,000.  Such  benefit  remains in
effect  following  termination  of employment  with not less than three years of
service.

         Change in  Control/Employment  Agreements.  The Board of Directors  may
enter into employment  agreements  and/or change in control  agreements with the
Chairman of the Board,  the President and the Executive  Vice  President.  It is
anticipated that such  agreements,  if they are entered into, would provide that
if SE Financial Corp. or St.  Edmond's  Federal Savings Bank is acquired and the
officer's  employment  is  terminated,  he or she will receive a cash  severance
payment.  Such  severance  payment  would in no event  exceed  2.999  times  the
terminated officer's prior five year average taxable compensation. The Board has
not yet  determined  the terms of such  agreements or whether to enter into such
agreements.

Potential Stock Benefit Plans

         Employee Stock Ownership Plan. We intend to establish an employee stock
ownership plan for the exclusive benefit of participating employees of the Bank,
to be implemented at the completion of the offering. Participating employees are
employees  who have  completed  one year of service and have attained the age of
21. An application for a letter of determination as to the tax-qualified  status
of the employee stock  ownership plan will be submitted to the IRS.  Although no
assurances can be given,  we expect that the employee stock  ownership plan will
receive a favorable letter of determination from the IRS.

         The employee stock ownership plan is to be funded by contributions made
by St. Edmond's  Federal  Savings Bank in cash or common stock.  Benefits may be
paid either in shares of the common stock or in cash. The plan will borrow funds
with  which to  acquire  up to 8% of the  shares  issued  in the  offering.  The
employee stock  ownership plan may elect, in whole or in part, to fill its order
through open market purchases subsequent to the closing of the offering, subject
to any required regulatory  approval.  The employee stock ownership plan intends
to borrow funds from SE Financial Corp. The loan is expected to be for a term of
ten years at an annual  interest rate  approximately  equal to the prime rate as
published  in The Wall Street  Journal.  Presently  it is  anticipated  that the
employee stock ownership plan will purchase up to 8% of the shares issued in the
offering.  The loan will be secured  by the shares  purchased  and  earnings  of
employee stock ownership plan assets.  Shares  purchased with loan proceeds will
be held in a suspense account for allocation  among  participants as the loan is
repaid. It is anticipated that all contributions  will be  tax-deductible.  This
loan is expected to be fully repaid in approximately ten years.

         Contributions  to the employee stock ownership plan and shares released
from the suspense  account will be allocated among  participants on the basis of
base  compensation.  All participants must be employed at least 1,000 hours in a
plan  year,  or  have  terminated  employment  following  death,  disability  or
retirement, in order to receive an allocation. Participant benefits become fully
vested in plan allocations  following three years of service.  Employment before
the  adoption of the  employee  stock  ownership  plan shall be credited for the
purposes of  vesting,  and  vesting is  accelerated  in the event of a change of
control.  Contributions  to the employee stock  ownership  plan by St.  Edmond's
Federal Savings Bank are  discretionary and may cause a reduction in other forms
of compensation, including the Bank's 401(k) Plan. As a result, benefits payable
under this plan cannot be estimated.

         A committee,  consisting of non-employee directors, will administer the
plan and serve as the plan's  trustees.  The  trustees  must vote all  allocated
shares held in the plan as directed by plan participants. Unallocated shares and
allocated  shares for which no timely  direction  is  received  will be voted as
directed  by the Board of  Directors  or the  plan's  committee,  subject to the
trustees' fiduciary duties.

                                       74



         Stock  Option  Plan.  We  intend to adopt a stock  option  plan for the
benefit  of  directors  and  officers  after  the  passage  of one year from the
completion of the offering.  We may,  however,  decide to adopt the stock option
plan sooner than one year following the offering,  but in no event will the plan
be adopted sooner than six months  subsequent to the completion of the offering.
If the stock option plan is implemented within one year of the completion of the
offering,  it will  comply  with the  Office of Thrift  Supervision  regulations
related to such  plans,  including  limitations  on vesting  and  allocation  of
awards.  Office of Thrift  Supervision  regulations  also  require that any plan
adopted  within one year of the  completion  of the offering  will be subject to
stockholder approval at a meeting of stockholders held no sooner than six months
subsequent to the completion of the offering.  Up to 10% of the number of shares
of common stock issued in the offering  will be reserved for issuance  under the
stock option plan. No determinations have been made as to the specific terms of,
or awards under, the stock option plan.

         The  purpose of the stock  option  plan will be to  attract  and retain
qualified  personnel in key  positions,  provide  officers and directors  with a
proprietary  interest in SE Financial Corp. as an incentive to contribute to our
success and reward directors and officers for outstanding performance.  Although
the terms of the stock option plan have not yet been determined,  it is expected
that the stock  option  plan will  provide  for the grant  of:  (1)  options  to
purchase the common stock  intended to qualify as incentive  stock options under
the Internal Revenue Code (incentive stock options); and (2) options that do not
so qualify  (non-incentive  stock  options).  Any stock  option plan would be in
effect  for up to ten  years  from  the  earlier  of  adoption  by the  Board of
Directors or approval by the  stockholders.  Options  would expire no later than
ten years from the date granted and would expire earlier if the option committee
so determines or in the event of  termination  of  employment.  Options would be
granted  based  upon  several  factors,  including  seniority,  job  duties  and
responsibilities and job performance.

         Restricted  Stock Plan. We also intend to establish a restricted  stock
plan to provide our officers and  directors  with a  proprietary  interest in SE
Financial  Corp. We intend to adopt the restricted  stock plan after the passage
of at least one year  from the  completion  of the  offering.  We may,  however,
decide to adopt the  restricted  stock plan sooner than one year  following  the
offering,  but in no event  will  the plan be  adopted  sooner  than six  months
subsequent to the completion of the offering.  If the  restricted  stock plan is
implemented  within one year of the  completion of the offering,  it will comply
with the  Office  of  Thrift  Supervision  regulations  related  to such  plans,
including  limitations  on vesting and  allocation  of awards.  Any plan adopted
within one year of the completion of the offering will be subject to stockholder
approval at a meeting of stockholders  held no sooner than six months subsequent
to the  completion of the  offering.  The  restricted  stock plan is expected to
provide  for the award of common  stock,  subject  to vesting  restrictions,  to
eligible officers and directors.

         We expect to contribute  funds to the restricted stock plan to acquire,
in the aggregate, up to 4% of the number of shares of common stock issued in the
offering,  provided, however, that, pursuant to the regulations of the Office of
Thrift Supervision,  if the plan is adopted within one year of the completion of
the  offering,  the plan will be  limited  to up to 3% if St.  Edmond's  Federal
Savings Bank does not have tangible capital of at least 10% at the time the plan
is  established.  Shares used to fund the restricted  stock plan may be acquired
through open market  purchases or provided from authorized but unissued  shares.
No  determinations  have been made as to the  specific  terms of the  restricted
stock plan.

Transactions with Management and Others

         No directors,  officers or their immediate  family members were engaged
in  transactions  with the Bank or any  subsidiary  involving  more than $60,000
(other than through a loan) during the year ended October 31, 2003.

                                       75



         The Bank has followed the policy of offering residential mortgage loans
for the  financing of personal  residences  and consumer  loans to its officers,
directors and employees.  Loans are made in the ordinary  course of business and
are also made on  substantially  the same terms and conditions,  other than a 1%
discount for officers and  employees on the interest  rate paid while the person
remains employed by the Bank, as those of comparable  transactions prevailing at
the time with other  persons,  and do not  include  more than the normal risk of
collectibility or present other unfavorable features. At October 31, 2003, loans
to directors and officers of the Bank totaled  $459,000,  consisting of loans to
two individuals.

Proposed Stock Purchases by Management

         The following  table sets forth for each of the directors and executive
officers (including in each case all "associates" of such persons) the number of
shares of common stock which each  director  and  executive  officer  intends to
purchase,  assuming the sale of 1,950,000 shares of common stock. The table does
not include  purchases by the employee  stock  ownership  plan (8% of the common
stock sold in the  offering),  and does not take into account any stock  benefit
plans to be adopted  following the conversion.  See Management - Potential Stock
Benefit Plans.

         If the  stockholders  of SE Financial  Corp.  approve the stock benefit
plans as discussed in this prospectus  (including 4% of the shares issued in the
offering  for the  restricted  stock  plan and 10% of the  shares  issued in the
offering for the stock  option  plan),  and  assuming  that all of the shares of
common stock available for award under the restricted stock plan are awarded and
all of the  options  available  under  the stock  option  plan are  awarded  and
exercised,  the aggregate  ownership of directors and executive  officers  would
increase to 17.2% at the midpoint of the offering range, assuming that the plans
are funded with newly issued  shares  instead of shares  acquired in open market
purchases and assuming that no awards are made to  non-executive  officers.  See
Management - Potential Stock Benefit Plans on page 74.

         Purchases of common stock in the  offering by directors  and  executive
officers will be counted toward the minimum of 1,657,500  shares  required to be
sold to complete the offering.  Management may, but is not required to, purchase
additional shares in the offering to satisfy the minimum, subject to the

                                       76



limitation  on  the  individual  maximum  share  purchase  limitations  and  the
requirement  that  directors,  executive  officers and their  associates may not
purchase, in the aggregate, more than 34% of the shares sold in the offering.

         Shares of common stock  purchased by directors and  executive  officers
cannot  be sold for a period  of one year  following  the  offering,  and  stock
certificates  issued to  directors  and  executive  officers  will bear a legend
restricting  their sale. See The Offering - Restrictions on  Transferability  by
Directors and Officers on page 95.

                                 THE CONVERSION

         The Board of Directors of St. Edmond's Federal Savings Bank adopted the
plan authorizing the conversion and the offering on January 15, 2004, subject to
the approval of the Office of Thrift  Supervision and of the members of the Bank
and  the  satisfaction  of  certain  other  conditions.  The  Office  of  Thrift
Supervision  gave  authorization  to conduct the  conversion  on March 15, 2004.
Office of Thrift  Supervision  approval does not constitute a recommendation  or
endorsement  of the plan by the Office of Thrift  Supervision.  Pursuant  to the
Plan, all  interpretations and applications of the Plan's provisions shall be by
a majority of the Board of Directors.

General

         On January 15, 2004,  the Board of Directors  of St.  Edmond's  Federal
Savings Bank adopted the plan of  conversion  and stock  issuance,  subsequently
amended by the Board,  pursuant to which the Bank proposes to reorganize  from a
federally  chartered mutual savings  institution to a federally  chartered stock
savings  institution.  The Bank  will  become a  wholly-owned  subsidiary  of SE
Financial Corp.  Concurrently with the conversion,  SE Financial Corp. will sell
its common stock in the offering to the Bank's  members and, if  necessary,  the
general  public.  The Board of  Directors  unanimously  adopted  the Plan  after
consideration  of the  advantages  and the  disadvantages  of the conversion and
offering.  After we  receive  all the  required  approvals  from the  government
agencies  that  regulate us, the approval of the plan by the Bank's  members and
the satisfaction of all other conditions  precedent to the conversion,  the Bank
will effect the conversion by exchanging its federal mutual savings  institution
charter for a federal  stock savings  institution  charter and becoming a wholly
owned  subsidiary of SE Financial  Corp.,  and having the depositors of the Bank
receive  liquidation  interests in the federal stock savings institution as they
have in the Bank before the conversion.  See The Conversion - Description of the
Conversion.  On the effective date, SE Financial Corp. will commence business as
SE  Financial  Corp.,  a savings  and loan  holding  company,  and the Bank will
commence  business as a federally  chartered  stock savings bank. The conversion
will be  accomplished  in accordance  with the procedures set forth in the plan,
the  requirements  of applicable laws and  regulations,  and the policies of the
Office of Thrift Supervision.

         For additional information concerning the offering, see The Offering.

Purposes of the Conversion

         The  Board  of  Directors  of St.  Edmond's  Federal  Savings  Bank has
determined  that  the  conversion  is in the best  interest  of the Bank and has
several business purposes for the conversion.

         The conversion will structure the Bank in the stock form, which is used
by commercial banks,  most major business  corporations and an increasing number
of  savings  institutions.  Formation  of the Bank as a  capital  stock  savings
institution  subsidiary of SE Financial  Corp. will permit SE Financial Corp. to
issue

                                       77



stock,   which  is  a  source  of  capital  not  available  to  mutual   savings
institutions.  The holding  company form of  organization is expected to provide
additional  flexibility  to diversify  the Bank's  business  activities  through
existing or newly formed  subsidiaries,  or through  acquisitions  of or mergers
with other financial institutions, as well as other companies. Although the Bank
has  no  current  arrangements,   understandings  or  agreements  regarding  any
opportunities, SE Financial Corp. will be in a position after the conversion and
offering,  subject to regulatory  limitations and SE Financial Corp.'s financial
position,  to take  advantage  of any  acquisition,  merger  or  diversification
opportunities that may arise.

         SE  Financial  Corp.  is  offering  for  sale its  common  stock in the
offering at an aggregate price based on an independent  appraisal.  The proceeds
from the sale of common stock of SE Financial  Corp.  will provide the Bank with
new equity  capital,  which will support future growth and expanded  operations.
While the Bank currently meets or exceeds all regulatory  capital  requirements,
the  sale  of  stock  in  connection  with  the  conversion,  coupled  with  the
accumulation of earnings,  less dividends or other  reductions in capital,  from
year to year,  represents a means for the orderly  preservation and expansion of
the  Bank's  capital  base,  and  allows  flexibility  to  respond to sudden and
unanticipated  capital needs.  After the  conversion and offering,  SE Financial
Corp.  may  repurchase  shares of its common  stock.  The  investment of the net
proceeds of the offering also will provide  additional income to enhance further
the Bank's future capital position.

         The ability of SE Financial  Corp. to issue stock will enable it in the
future to establish  stock  benefit  plans for  management  and  employees of SE
Financial  Corp. and the Bank,  including  incentive  stock option plans,  stock
award plans, and employee stock ownership plans.

         SE Financial  Corp. will also be able to borrow funds, on a secured and
unsecured basis, and to issue debt to the public or in a private placement.  The
proceeds of any  borrowings or debt issuance may be  contributed  to the Bank as
core capital for regulatory capital purposes.  SE Financial Corp. has not made a
determination to borrow funds or issue debt at the present time.

Description of the Conversion

         After  receiving  all of the  required  approvals  from the  government
agencies that regulate us and the  ratification of the plan of conversion by the
Bank's  members,  the conversion will be completed.  After the  conversion,  the
legal existence of the Bank will not terminate, the converted stock bank will be
a  continuation  of the Bank and all property of the Bank,  including its right,
title, and interest in and to all property of any kind and nature,  interest and
asset of every  conceivable  value or benefit then existing or pertaining to the
Bank,  or which  would inure to the Bank  immediately  by  operation  of law and
without the necessity of any  conveyance or transfer and without any further act
or deed,  will continue to be owned by the Bank.  The Bank will possess and hold
the same in its right and fully and to the same extent as the same was possessed
and held by the  Bank.  The Bank  will  continue  to have,  succeed  to,  and be
responsible for all the rights, liabilities, and obligations of the Bank.

         The  foregoing  description  of  the  conversion  is  qualified  in its
entirety by reference to the plan and the articles of  incorporation  and bylaws
of the Bank and SE Financial Corp.

Effects of the Conversion

         General.  The conversion will not have any effect on the Bank's present
business  of  accepting  deposits  and  investing  its  funds in loans and other
investments  permitted by law. The  conversion  will not result in any change in
the existing  services  provided to  depositors  and  borrowers,  or in existing
offices,

                                       78



management,  and  staff.  After the  conversion,  the Bank will  continue  to be
subject to  regulation,  supervision,  and  examination  by the Office of Thrift
Supervision and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

         Deposits and Loans. Each holder of a deposit account in the Bank at the
time of the conversion  will continue as an account holder in the Bank after the
conversion,  and the conversion  will not affect the deposit  balance,  interest
rate,  or other  terms.  Each  deposit  account  will be insured by the  Federal
Deposit  Insurance  Corporation  to the same  extent as before  the  conversion.
Depositors will continue to hold their existing  certificates,  savings records,
checkbooks, and other evidence of their accounts. The conversion will not affect
the loans of any borrower from the Bank. The amount,  interest  rate,  maturity,
security for, and obligations under each loan will remain contractually fixed as
they  existed  prior to the  conversion.  See The  Conversion  - Effects  of the
Conversion - Voting  Rights and -  Liquidation  Rights below for a discussion of
the  effects  of the  conversion  on the voting  and  liquidation  rights of the
depositors of the Bank.

         Voting Rights. As a federally chartered mutual savings institution, the
Bank has no authority to issue capital stock and thus, no stockholders.  Control
of the Bank in its mutual form is vested in the Board of  Directors of the Bank.
The Directors are elected by the Bank's members.  Holders of qualifying deposits
in the Bank are  members  of the Bank.  In the  consideration  of all  questions
requiring action by members of the Bank, each holder of a qualifying  deposit is
permitted to cast one vote for each $100, or fraction thereof, of the withdrawal
value of the voting depositor's account.  Each borrower as of September 29, 1995
has one vote for the  period of time that such  borrowing  is in  existence.  No
member may cast more than 1,000 votes.

         After  the  conversion,  all  voting  rights  will  be held  solely  by
stockholders.  A  stockholder  will be  entitled  to one vote for each  share of
common stock owned.

         Tax Effects.  We have  received an opinion  from our  counsel,  Malizia
Spidi & Fisch,  PC, on the  federal  tax  consequences  of the  conversion.  The
opinion has been filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this
prospectus  is a part and covers those  federal tax matters that are material to
the transaction. The opinion provides that:

          o    the  conversion  will qualify as a  reorganization  under Section
               368(a)(1)(F)  of the Code, and no gain or loss will be recognized
               by the Bank by reason of the proposed conversion;

          o    no gain or loss will be  recognized  by the Bank upon the receipt
               of money from SE Financial  Corp.  for the Bank's  stock,  and no
               gain or loss will be  recognized by SE Financial  Corp.  upon the
               receipt of money for the shares;

          o    no gain  or  loss  will be  recognized  by the  Eligible  Account
               Holders  and  Other   Members   upon  the  issuance  to  them  of
               withdrawable  savings  accounts  in the Bank in the stock form in
               the same dollar amount as their  savings  accounts in the Bank in
               the mutual form plus an interest  in the  liquidation  account of
               the Bank in the stock form in exchange for their savings accounts
               in the Bank in the mutual form;

          o    the part of the taxable  year of the Bank  before the  conversion
               and the part of the taxable year of the Bank after the conversion
               will constitute a single taxable year of the Bank.  Consequently,
               the Bank will not be required to file a federal income tax return
               for any portion of such taxable year;

                                       79



          o    the Bank  after  the  conversion  will  succeed  to and take into
               account  the  earnings  and  profits or deficit in  earnings  and
               profits of the Bank as of the date or dates of transfer; and

          o    no gain or loss will be  recognized by Eligible  Account  Holders
               and  Other  Members  upon  the   distribution   to  them  of  the
               non-transferable subscription rights to purchase shares of stock.

         The opinion in the last bullet above is predicated  on  representations
from the Bank that no person  shall  receive  any  payment,  whether in money or
property,  in lieu of the issuance of  subscription  rights.  The opinion in the
last  bullet  above is based on the  position  that the  subscription  rights to
purchase  shares of common stock received by Eligible  Account Holders and Other
Members have a fair market value of zero. In reaching  their  opinion  stated in
the last bullet above, Malizia Spidi & Fisch, PC has noted that the subscription
rights  will  be  granted  at  no  cost  to  the  recipients,  will  be  legally
non-transferable and of short duration, and will provide the recipients with the
right only to  purchase  shares of common  stock at the same price to be paid by
members of the general public in any community offering.  Malizia Spidi & Fisch,
PC believes  that it is more  likely than not that the fair market  value of the
subscription rights to purchase common stock is zero.

         If the  non-transferable  subscription  rights to purchase common stock
are subsequently found to have a fair market value,  income may be recognized by
various recipients of the subscription rights (in certain cases,  whether or not
the  rights  are  exercised),  and we may be  taxed on the  distribution  of the
subscription rights.

         We are also subject to  Pennsylvania  income taxes and have received an
opinion from Malizia Spidi & Fisch,  PC that the conversion  will be treated for
Pennsylvania  state tax purposes  similar to the treatment of the conversion for
federal tax purposes.

         Unlike a private  letter  ruling from the IRS,  the opinions of Malizia
Spidi & Fisch,  PC have no binding effect or official  status,  and no assurance
can be given  that the  conclusions  reached in any of those  opinions  would be
sustained  by  a  court  if  contested  by  the  IRS  or  the  Pennsylvania  tax
authorities.  Eligible  Account  Holders  and Other  Members are  encouraged  to
consult with their own tax advisers as to the tax  consequences in the event the
subscription rights are determined to have any market value.

         Liquidation  Account.  In the  unlikely  event of the  Bank's  complete
liquidation  in the Bank's  present  mutual form,  each depositor is entitled to
share in a distribution of the Bank's assets,  remaining after payment of claims
of all creditors (including the claims of all depositors to the withdrawal value
of their  accounts).  Each  depositor's  pro rata share of the remaining  assets
would be in the same proportion as the value of his deposit  accounts was to the
total value of all deposit accounts in the Bank at the time of liquidation.

         Upon a complete liquidation after the conversion,  each depositor would
have a claim, as a creditor,  of the same general  priority as the claims of all
other general  creditors of the Bank.  Except as described  below, a depositor's
claim would be solely in the amount of the balance in his deposit  account  plus
accrued  interest.  A depositor would not have an interest in the residual value
of the Bank's assets above that amount, if any.

         The Bank's plan of conversion provides for the establishment,  upon the
completion of the conversion, of a special "liquidation account" for the benefit
of Eligible  Account  Holders.  The liquidation  account will be maintained as a
separate account at St. Edmond's Federal Savings Bank.

                                       80



         Each Eligible  Account Holder,  if he continues to maintain his deposit
account with the Bank,  would be entitled on a complete  liquidation of the Bank
after conversion, to an interest in the liquidation account prior to any payment
to stockholders.  Each Eligible Account Holder would have an initial interest in
the  liquidation  account  for  each  deposit  account  held in the  Bank on the
qualifying  date,  December  31, 2002.  The interest as to each deposit  account
would be in the same proportion of the total liquidation  account as the balance
of the deposit account on December 31, 2002 was to the aggregate  balance in all
the deposit accounts of Eligible Account Holders on December 31, 2002.  However,
if the amount in the  deposit  account on any  annual  closing  date of the Bank
(October 31) is less than the amount in the liquidation  account on December 31,
2002,  then the interest in this special  liquidation  account  would be reduced
from time to time by an amount proportionate to any reduction,  and the interest
would cease to exist if the deposit  account were  closed.  Decreases in deposit
accounts  on any  annual  closing  date  will be  reflected  by a  corresponding
decrease in the amount held in the liquidation account. An individual's interest
in and the total amount held in the liquidation  account will never be increased
despite any increase in deposit accounts after December 31, 2002.

         The Bank's plan of conversion  requires the  liquidation  account to be
established  in an amount  equal to its net worth as of the  latest  practicable
date prior to  conversion  (i.e.,  the net worth  disclosed in the  consolidated
financial statements included in this prospectus).

         No merger,  consolidation,  purchase of bulk assets with assumptions of
savings accounts and other  liabilities,  or similar  transactions  with another
insured  institution  in which  the  Bank,  in its  converted  form,  is not the
surviving  institution,  shall be  considered a complete  liquidation.  In these
transactions,  the  liquidation  account  shall  be  assumed  by  the  surviving
institution.

Conditions to the Conversion

         Before we can complete the conversion, we must receive all the required
approvals from the Office of Thrift Supervision.  The receipt of these approvals
or  non-objections  from the Office of Thrift  Supervision does not constitute a
recommendation  or endorsement of the plan or conversion by the Office of Thrift
Supervision. Completion of the conversion also is subject to ratification of the
plan by a majority of the total votes of members at a special meeting called for
the purpose of approving the plan. The Board of Directors may decide to complete
the conversion without forming a holding company.

Amendment or Termination of the Plan of Conversion

         If determined to be necessary or desirable by the Board of Directors of
the Bank,  the plan may be amended by a  two-thirds  vote of the Bank's Board of
Directors, with the concurrence of the Office of Thrift Supervision, at any time
prior  to  or  after  submission  of  the  plan  to  members  of  the  Bank  for
ratification.  The plan may be  terminated by the Board of Directors of the Bank
at any time prior to or after ratification by the members,  by a two-thirds vote
with the concurrence of the Office of Thrift Supervision.

                                  THE OFFERING

General

         Concurrently with the conversion,  we are offering between a minimum of
1,657,500  shares  and a maximum  of  2,242,500  shares  of common  stock in the
offering  (subject to adjustment to up to 2,578,875  shares if our estimated pro
forma  market  value has  increased  at the  conclusion  of the  offering).  The
offering  will  expire at 12:00  noon,  eastern  time,  on April 19, 2004 unless
extended. The minimum

                                       81



purchase is 25 shares of common stock (minimum  investment of $250).  Our common
stock is being offered at a fixed price of $10.00 per share in the offering.

Conduct of the Offering

         Subject  to the  limitations  of the plan,  shares of common  stock are
being offered in descending order of priority in the subscription offering to:

o    Eligible  Account Holders  (depositors at the close of business on December
     31, 2002 with deposits of at least $50.00);

o    the employee stock ownership plan; and

o    Other Members: depositors as of March 9, 2004 and borrowers as of September
     29, 1995 who  continue as borrowers as of the close of business on March 9,
     2004.

         To the extent that shares  remain  available  and  depending  on market
conditions  at or near  the  completion  of the  subscription  offering,  we may
conduct a community offering and possibly a syndicated  community offering.  The
community  offering,  if  any,  may  commence  simultaneously  with,  during  or
subsequent  to  the  completion  of  the  subscription  offering.  A  syndicated
community  offering,  if we conducted  one,  would commence just prior to, or as
soon as practicable after, the termination of the subscription  offering. In any
community offering or syndicated  community offering,  we must first fill orders
for  our  common  stock  up to a  maximum  of 2% of  the  shares  issued  in the
conversion in a manner that will achieve a wide  distribution of the stock,  and
thereafter  any remaining  shares will be allocated on an equal number of shares
per order  basis,  until all orders  have been  filled or the  shares  have been
exhausted.  If an  oversubscription  occurs in the offering by Eligible  Account
Holders,  the employee stock  ownership plan may, in whole or in part,  fill its
order through open market  purchases  subsequent to the closing of the offering,
subject to any required regulatory approval.

Subscription Offering

         Subscription Rights.  Non-transferable subscription rights to subscribe
for the purchase of common stock have been granted  under the plan of conversion
to the following persons:

         Priority 1: Eligible  Account  Holders.  Each Eligible  Account  Holder
shall be given the opportunity to purchase,  subject to the overall  limitations
described  under The Offering -  Limitations  on  Purchases of Stock,  up to the
greater of (i) the maximum purchase  limitation in the community offering (i.e.,
10,000 shares or $100,000), (ii) one-tenth of 1% of the total offering of shares
of common  stock  offered in the  subscription  offering,  or (iii) 15 times the
product  (rounded down to the next whole  number)  obtained by  multiplying  the
total number of shares of common stock offered in the subscription offering by a
fraction, of which the numerator is the amount of the qualifying deposits of the
Eligible  Account  Holder  and  the  denominator  is  the  total  amount  of all
qualifying deposits of all Eligible Account Holders.

         The  following  example   illustrates  how  the  maximum   subscription
limitation is  calculated.  Assuming that shares of common stock are sold at the
maximum of the offering  range  (2,242,500  shares),  a depositor had $25,000 on
deposit as of December  31,  2002,  and there were $72.3  million of  qualifying
deposits as of that date, then the depositor would receive  subscription  rights
to subscribe for an amount of stock equal to the greater of:

                                       82




       (i)     10,000 shares;

       (ii)    2,242  shares,  which is  one-tenth of one percent of a 2,242,500
               share offering; or

       (iii)   11,628 shares,  which is the product of: 15 x 2,242,500 shares of
               common stock x ($25,000/$72.3 million).

         If there are insufficient shares available to satisfy all subscriptions
of Eligible  Account  Holders,  shares  will be  allocated  to Eligible  Account
Holders so as to permit each  subscribing  Eligible Account Holder to purchase a
number of shares  sufficient to make his total allocation equal to the lesser of
100 shares or the number of shares ordered. Thereafter,  unallocated shares will
be  allocated  to  remaining   subscribing   Eligible   Account   Holders  whose
subscriptions  remain  unfilled in the same  proportion  that each  subscriber's
qualifying  deposit  bears to the total  amount of  qualifying  deposits  of all
subscribing  Eligible Account Holders,  in each case on December 31, 2002, whose
subscriptions remain unfilled.  Subscription rights received by persons who were
officers and directors one year prior to the eligibility  record date,  based on
their increased  deposits in St.  Edmond's  Federal Savings Bank in the one year
preceding the eligibility  record date will be subordinated to the  subscription
rights of other eligible account holders.  To ensure proper allocation of stock,
each Eligible  Account  Holder must list on his order form all accounts in which
he had an ownership interest as of the Eligibility Record Date.

         Priority 2: The Employee Plans. The tax qualified employee plans may be
given the opportunity to purchase in the aggregate up to 10% of the common stock
issued in the  subscription  offering.  It is expected  that the employee  stock
ownership  plan  will  purchase  up to 8% of  the  common  stock  issued  in the
offering.  If an  oversubscription  occurs in the  offering by Eligible  Account
Holders,  the employee stock  ownership plan may, in whole or in part,  fill its
order through open market  purchases  subsequent to the closing of the offering,
subject to any required regulatory approval.

         Priority 3: Other  Members.  If there are sufficient  shares  remaining
after  satisfaction of all subscriptions by the Eligible Account Holders and the
tax-qualified  employee stock benefit plans, each Other Member (depositors as of
March 9, 2004 and  borrowers as of September  29, 1995 who continue as borrowers
as of the close of  business  on March 9, 2004) who is not an  Eligible  Account
Holder shall have the opportunity to purchase up to the greater of 10,000 shares
of common  stock or  one-tenth  of 1% of the total  offering of shares of common
stock  offered in the  subscription  offering,  subject to the overall  purchase
limitations described under - Limitations on Purchases of Common Stock. If Other
Members  subscribe  for a number  of  shares  which,  when  added to the  shares
subscribed for by Eligible Account Holders and the tax-qualified  employee stock
benefit  plans,  is in  excess of the total  number  of  shares  offered  in the
offering, the subscriptions of Other Members will be allocated among subscribing
Other  Members to permit each  subscribing  Other Member to purchase a number of
shares  sufficient  to make his total  allocation  of common  stock equal to the
lesser of 100 shares or the number of shares  subscribed  for by Other  Members.
Any shares remaining will be allocated among the subscribing Other Members whose
subscriptions  remain  unsatisfied on a 100 shares (or whatever lesser amount is
available)  per order basis  until all orders have been filled or the  remaining
shares have been allocated.

         State Securities Laws. We, in our sole discretion, will make reasonable
efforts to comply with the securities  laws of any state in the United States in
which St. Edmond's Federal Savings Bank members reside,  and will only offer and
sell the common  stock in states in which the offers and sales comply with state
securities laws.  However,  no person will be offered or allowed to purchase any
common stock under the plan if he resides in a foreign country, or in a state of
the United States with respect to which:

                                       83



o    a small number of persons  otherwise  eligible to purchase shares under the
     plan reside; or

o    the offer or sale of shares of common stock to these  persons would require
     us or St. Edmond's Federal Savings Bank or our employees to register, under
     the securities  laws of that state, as a broker or dealer or to register or
     otherwise qualify its securities for sale in that state; or

o    registration or qualification would be impracticable for reasons of cost or
     otherwise.

         Restrictions  on Transfer of Subscription  Rights and Shares.  The plan
prohibits  any person  with  subscription  rights,  including  Eligible  Account
Holders and Other Members,  from  transferring or entering into any agreement or
understanding to transfer the legal or beneficial  ownership of the subscription
rights  issued  under the plan or the shares of common  stock to be issued  when
they are exercised.  Subscription  rights may be exercised only by the person to
whom they are granted and only for his or her account. With the exception of IRA
stock  purchases,  the  subscription  rights of a qualifying  account may not be
transferred  to an account that is in a different  form of ownership.  Adding or
deleting a name or  otherwise  altering  the form of  beneficial  ownership of a
qualifying  account will void a subscription  order. Each person subscribing for
shares will be required to certify that he or she is  purchasing  shares  solely
for his or her own account and that he or she has no agreement or  understanding
regarding the sale or transfer of the shares.  The regulations also prohibit any
person from offering or making an  announcement of an offer or intent to make an
offer to  purchase  subscription  rights or shares of common  stock  before  the
completion of the offering.

         SE Financial  Corp. and St.  Edmond's  Federal Savings Bank will pursue
any and all legal and  equitable  remedies  in the event we become  aware of the
transfer of  subscription  rights and will not honor  orders  which we determine
involve the transfer of subscription rights.

Deadlines for Purchasing Stock

         The subscription  offering will terminate at 12:00 noon,  eastern time,
on April 19, 2004. We may extend this  expiration date without notice to you for
up to 45 days,  until June 3, 2004.  Once  submitted,  your order is irrevocable
unless the offering is extended  beyond June 3, 2004. We may request  permission
from the Office of Thrift  Supervision  to extend the  offering  beyond  June 3,
2004, and the Office of Thrift  Supervision  may grant one or more extensions of
the offering of up to 90 days per extension, but in no event may the offering be
extended beyond May 4, 2006. If the offering is extended beyond June 3, 2004, we
will be required to notify each subscriber and resolicit  subscriptions.  During
any extension period, subscribers will have the right to modify or rescind their
subscriptions,  and, unless an affirmative  response is received, a subscriber's
funds will be returned  with interest at St.  Edmond's  Federal  Savings  Bank's
regular  savings account rate. A community  offering and a syndicated  community
offering,  if such  offerings are  conducted,  may terminate at any time without
notice but no later than June 3, 2004.

         We may cancel the offering at any time prior to the special  meeting of
members  of the Bank to vote on the plan of  conversion.  If we do,  orders  for
common stock already  submitted will be canceled and subscribers'  funds will be
promptly  returned with interest at St. Edmond's  Federal Savings Bank's regular
savings account rate.

Community Offering and Syndicated Community Offering

         Community  Offering.  If less than the total number of shares of common
stock to be subscribed for in the offering are sold in the subscription offering
and depending on market conditions at or near the

                                       84



completion of the subscription  offering,  shares remaining  unsubscribed may be
made available for purchase in the community  offering to certain members of the
general public.  The maximum amount of common stock that any person may purchase
in the  community  offering is 10,000  shares,  or  $100,000.  In the  community
offering,  if any,  shares will be available for purchase by the general  public
with preference given first to natural persons residing in Philadelphia  County,
Pennsylvania  and Gloucester  County,  New Jersey.  We will attempt to issue the
shares in a manner that would promote a wide distribution of common stock.

         If purchasers in the community  offering,  whose orders would otherwise
be accepted,  subscribe for more shares than are  available  for  purchase,  the
shares  available to them will be allocated among persons  submitting  orders in
the community offering in an equitable manner we determine.

         The  community  offering,  if any,  may commence  simultaneously  with,
during  or  subsequent  to the  completion  of the  subscription  offering.  The
community  offering,  if any,  must  be  completed  within  45  days  after  the
completion of the subscription  offering unless otherwise extended by the Office
of Thrift Supervision.

         We, in our absolute discretion,  reserve the right to reject any or all
orders in whole or in part which are received in the community offering,  at the
time of  receipt  or as soon as  practicable  following  the  completion  of the
community offering.

         Syndicated  Community  Offering.  If shares remain  available after the
subscription  offering,  and  depending  on  market  conditions  at or near  the
completion of the subscription offering, we may offer shares to selected persons
through a  syndicated  community  offering  on a  best-efforts  basis  conducted
through Sandler O'Neill in accordance with such terms, conditions and procedures
as may be  determined by the Boards of Directors of SE Financial  Corp.  and St.
Edmond's Federal Savings Bank. A syndicate of broker-dealers  (selected dealers)
may be formed  to assist in the  syndicated  community  offering.  A  syndicated
community  offering,  if we conducted  one,  would commence just prior to, or as
soon as practicable after, the termination of the subscription offering.

         Orders received in connection with the syndicated  community  offering,
if any, will receive a lower priority than orders  received in the  subscription
offering and community offering.  Common stock sold in the syndicated  community
offering will be sold at the same price as all other shares in the  subscription
offering.  A syndicated  community  offering would be open to the general public
beyond the local  community;  however,  we have the right to reject  orders,  in
whole or in part, in our sole discretion in the syndicated  community  offering.
No person will be permitted to purchase more than 10,000 shares, or $100,000, of
common stock in the syndicated community offering.

         The date by which orders must be received in the  syndicated  community
offering  will  be set by us at  the  time  the  syndicated  community  offering
commences;  but if the syndicated  community offering is extended beyond June 3,
2004, each purchaser will have the opportunity to maintain,  modify,  or rescind
his  order.  In that  event,  all funds  received  in the  syndicated  community
offering will be promptly  returned with  interest to each  purchaser  unless he
requests otherwise.

Limitations on Purchases of Stock

         The following additional  limitations have been imposed on purchases of
shares of common stock:

                                       85



          1.   The  maximum  number of  shares  which  may be  purchased  in the
               offering  by any  individual  (or  individuals  through  a single
               account) shall not exceed 10,000 shares, or $100,000.  This limit
               applies  to  stock  purchases  in  total  in  the   subscription,
               community and syndicated community offerings.

          2.   The  maximum  number  of  shares  that  may be  purchased  by any
               individual together with any associate or group of persons acting
               in concert is 20,000 shares,  or $200,000.  This limit applies to
               stock  purchases  in total  in the  subscription,  community  and
               public  offerings.  This  limit  does  not  apply  to the  Bank's
               employee  stock  benefit  plans,   which  in  the  aggregate  may
               subscribe  for  up to  10%  of the  common  stock  issued  in the
               offering.

          3.   The  maximum  number of  shares  which  may be  purchased  in all
               categories  in the  offering by  officers  and  directors  of St.
               Edmond's  Federal  Savings  Bank  and  their  associates  in  the
               aggregate  shall not  exceed  34% of the  total  number of shares
               issued in the offering.

          4.   The minimum order is 25 shares.

          5.   If the number of shares otherwise allocable to any person or that
               person's  associates  would be in excess of the maximum number of
               shares  permitted  as set  forth  above,  the  number  of  shares
               allocated   to  that  person  shall  be  reduced  to  the  lowest
               limitation  applicable  to that  person,  and then the  number of
               shares  allocated to each group  consisting  of a person and that
               person's  associates  shall  be  reduced  so that  the  aggregate
               allocation  to that person and his  associates  complies with the
               above  maximums,  and the  maximum  number  of  shares  shall  be
               reallocated among that person and his associates in proportion to
               the shares  subscribed by each (after first applying the maximums
               applicable to each person, separately).

          6.   Depending  on  market  or  financial  conditions,  the  Board  of
               Directors of St. Edmond's  Federal Savings Bank,  without further
               approval of the depositors, may decrease or increase the purchase
               limitations  in the  plan,  provided  that the  maximum  purchase
               limitations  may not be increased to a percentage in excess of 5%
               of the  offering.  If SE Financial  Corp.  increases  the maximum
               purchase  limitations,  SE Financial  Corp.  is only  required to
               resolicit  persons who subscribed for the maximum purchase amount
               and may, in the sole discretion of SE Financial Corp.,  resolicit
               certain other large subscribers.

          7.   If the total number of shares  offered  increases in the offering
               due to an  increase  in the  maximum of the  estimated  valuation
               range of up to 15% (the adjusted  maximum) the additional  shares
               will be used in the following order of priority:  (a) to fill the
               Employee  Stock  Ownership  Plan's  subscription  up to 8% of the
               adjusted maximum (unless the employee stock ownership plan elects
               to purchase stock subsequent to the offering in the open market);
               (b) if  there  is an  oversubscription  at the  Eligible  Account
               Holder level, to fill unfilled  subscriptions of Eligible Account
               Holders;  (c) if there is an oversubscription at the Other Member
               level, to fill unfilled  subscriptions  of Other Members;  (d) to
               fill  orders  received in a community  offering  with  preference
               given to persons who live in the local community; and (e) to fill
               orders received in the syndicated community offering.

          8.   No person will be allowed to purchase any stock if that  purchase
               would be illegal under any federal law or state law or regulation
               or  would  violate  regulations  or  policies  of  the  NASD.  SE
               Financial Corp. or St.  Edmond's  Federal Savings Bank and/or its
               agents may

                                       86



               ask for an acceptable legal opinion from any purchaser  regarding
               the legality of the purchase and may refuse to honor any purchase
               order if that opinion is not timely furnished.

          9.   The  Board  of  Directors  has the  right  to  reject  any  order
               submitted  by a person  whose  representations  it  believes  are
               untrue or who it believes is violating, circumventing, or intends
               to violate,  evade, or circumvent the terms and conditions of the
               plan, either alone or acting in concert with others.

          10.  The above  restrictions also apply to purchases by persons acting
               in concert under  applicable  regulations of the Office of Thrift
               Supervision.   Under   regulations   of  the   Office  of  Thrift
               Supervision,  directors of St. Edmond's  Federal Savings Bank are
               not considered to be affiliates or a group acting in concert with
               other directors solely as a result of membership on the Board.

          11.  In addition,  in any community  offering or syndicated  community
               offering,  we must first fill orders for our common stock up to a
               maximum of 2% of the shares issued in the  conversion in a manner
               that  will  achieve  a  wide   distribution  of  the  stock,  and
               thereafter  any  remaining  shares will be  allocated on an equal
               number of shares  per order  basis,  until all  orders  have been
               filled or the shares have been exhausted.

         The term "associate" of a person is defined in the plan to mean:

          (1)  any  corporation or  organization of which a person is an officer
               or partner or is, directly or indirectly, the beneficial owner of
               10% or more of any class of equity securities;

          (2)  any  trust or other  estate in which a person  has a  substantial
               beneficial  interest or as to which a person serves as trustee or
               in a similar fiduciary capacity; or

          (3)  any  relative or spouse of a person or any  relative of a spouse,
               who has the same  home as that  person  or who is a  director  or
               officer  of St.  Edmond's  Federal  Savings  Bank,  or any of its
               parents or subsidiaries.

         For  example,  a  corporation  for which a person  serves as an officer
would  be an  associate  of  that  person  and  all  shares  purchased  by  that
corporation  would be  included  with the  number of shares  which  that  person
individually could purchase under the above limitations.

         The term "acting in concert" means:

          (1)  knowing  participation  in a  joint  activity  or  interdependent
               conscious  parallel  action  towards a common goal whether or not
               pursuant to an express agreement; or

          (2)  a  combination  or  pooling of voting or other  interests  in the
               securities  of an issuer  for a common  purpose  pursuant  to any
               contract,   understanding,   relationship,   agreement  or  other
               arrangement, whether written or otherwise.

         A person or  company  which  acts in  concert  with  another  person or
company  ("other  party")  shall also be deemed to be acting in concert with any
person or company who is also acting in concert  with that other  party,  except
that any  tax-qualified  employee  stock  benefit  plan will not be deemed to be
acting in

                                       87



concert with its trustee or a person who serves in a similar capacity solely for
the purpose of  determining  whether stock held by the trustee and stock held by
the plan will be aggregated.  We will presume that certain persons are acting in
concert  based upon various  facts,  including  the fact that persons have joint
account  relationships  or the fact that such persons have filed joint Schedules
13D with the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to other companies.
We  reserve  the  right to make an  independent  investigation  of any  facts or
circumstances  brought to our  attention  that indicate that one or more persons
acting  independently  or as a group  acting in  concert  may be  attempting  to
violate or circumvent  the  regulatory  prohibition  on the  transferability  of
subscription rights.

         We have  the  right,  in our  sole  discretion,  to  determine  whether
prospective   purchasers  are   "associates"   or  "acting  in  concert."  These
determinations  are in our sole discretion and may be based on whatever evidence
we believe to be  relevant,  including  joint  account  relationships  or shared
addresses on the Bank's records.

         Each person  purchasing shares of the common stock in the offering will
be considered to have  confirmed that his or her purchase does not conflict with
the maximum purchase  limitation.  If the purchase limitation is violated by any
person or any associate or group of persons  affiliated  or otherwise  acting in
concert with that person, we will have the right to purchase from that person at
the $10.00 purchase price per share all shares acquired by that person in excess
of that  purchase  limitation  or, if the excess  shares  have been sold by that
person, to receive the difference  between the purchase price per share paid for
the excess  shares and the price at which the  excess  shares  were sold by that
person. Our right to purchase the excess shares will be assignable.

         Common  stock  purchased  pursuant  to  the  offering  will  be  freely
transferable,  except for shares  purchased  by  directors  and  officers of St.
Edmond's  Federal  Savings Bank.  For certain  restrictions  on the common stock
purchased  by  directors  and  officers,  see The  Offering  -  Restrictions  on
Transferability by Directors and Officers. In addition,  under guidelines of the
NASD,  members  of  the  NASD  and  their  associates  are  subject  to  certain
restrictions on the purchase of securities.

Ordering and Receiving Common Stock

         Use of Order  Forms.  Rights  to  subscribe  may only be  exercised  by
completion of an order form.  Any person  receiving an order form who desires to
subscribe  for  shares  of  common  stock  must do so  prior  to the  applicable
expiration  date by  delivering  by mail or in  person to St.  Edmond's  Federal
Savings Bank a properly  executed and completed  order form,  together with full
payment of the  purchase  price for all shares for which  subscription  is made;
provided,  however,  that if the employee plans  subscribe for shares during the
subscription  offering,  the employee  plans will not be required to pay for the
shares  at the time  they  subscribe  but  rather  may pay for the  shares  upon
completion of the conversion. All subscription rights under the plan will expire
on the expiration  date,  whether or not St.  Edmond's  Federal Savings Bank has
been able to locate each person entitled to subscription  rights. Once tendered,
subscription  orders  cannot be revoked  without  the  consent  of St.  Edmond's
Federal Savings Bank.

         If a stock order form:

o    is not delivered and is returned to St.  Edmond's  Federal  Savings Bank by
     the United States Postal Service or St.  Edmond's  Federal  Savings Bank is
     unable to locate the addressee;

o    is not received or is received after the applicable expiration date;

                                       88



o    is not completed correctly or executed; or

o    is not accompanied by the full required  payment for the shares  subscribed
     for including instances where a savings account or certificate balance from
     which  withdrawal  is  authorized  is  insufficient  to fund  the  required
     payment, but excluding subscriptions by the employee plans;

then the  subscription  rights for that  person will lapse as though that person
failed to return the completed order form within the time period specified.

         However, we may, but will not be required to, waive any irregularity on
any order  form or  require  the  submission  of  corrected  order  forms or the
remittance of full payment for subscribed  shares by a date that we may specify.
The waiver of an  irregularity  on an order form in no way obligates us to waive
any other  irregularity on any other order form. Waivers will be considered on a
case by case  basis.  We will not be  required  to  accept  orders  received  on
photocopies or facsimile order forms, or for which payment is to be made by wire
transfer or payment from private third parties.  Our interpretation of the terms
and conditions of the plan and of the  acceptability  of the order forms will be
final, subject to the authority of the Office of Thrift Supervision.

         To ensure that each  purchaser  receives a prospectus at least 48 hours
before the  applicable  expiration  date, in accordance  with Rule 15c2-8 of the
Securities  Exchange Act of 1934,  no  prospectus  will be mailed any later than
five days  prior to the  expiration  date or  delivered  any later than two days
prior to the expiration  date.  Execution of the order form will confirm receipt
or delivery in accordance with Rule 15c2-8. Order forms will only be distributed
with a prospectus.

         Payment  for Shares.  For  subscriptions  to be valid,  payment for all
subscribed  shares will be required to accompany  all properly  completed  order
forms,  on or prior to the expiration date specified on the order form unless we
extend the date.  Employee plans  subscribing for shares during the subscription
offering may pay for those shares upon completion of the conversion. Payment for
shares of common stock may be made

o    by check or money order made payable to St. Edmond's  Federal Savings Bank;
     or
o    for shares subscribed for in the subscription offering, by authorization of
     withdrawal  from savings  accounts  maintained  with St.  Edmond's  Federal
     Savings Bank.

         Appropriate  means by which account  withdrawals  may be authorized are
provided on the order form. Once a withdrawal has been  authorized,  none of the
designated  withdrawal  amount may be used by a subscriber for any purpose other
than to purchase the common stock for which a  subscription  has been made until
the  offering  has  been  completed  or  terminated.  In the  case  of  payments
authorized  to be made  through  withdrawal  from  savings  accounts,  all  sums
authorized  for  withdrawal  will continue to earn interest at the contract rate
until the offering has been  completed or  terminated.  Interest  penalties  for
early  withdrawal   applicable  to  certificate   accounts  will  not  apply  to
withdrawals  authorized  for the  purchase  of  shares;  however,  if a  partial
withdrawal  results  in a  certificate  account  with a  balance  less  than the
applicable minimum balance requirement, the certificate shall be canceled at the
time of  withdrawal,  without  penalty,  and the  remaining  balance  will  earn
interest at the regular savings  account rate  subsequent to the withdrawal.  In
the case of  payments  made in cash or by check or money  order,  funds  will be
placed in a segregated account and interest will be paid by St. Edmond's Federal
Savings  Bank at the  regular  savings  account  rate from the date  payment  is
received until the offering is completed or terminated.  An executed order form,
once we receive  it, may not be  modified,  amended,  or  rescinded  without our
consent,  unless  the  offering  is not  completed  within  45  days  after  the
conclusion of the subscription offering, in

                                       89



which event subscribers may be given the opportunity to increase,  decrease,  or
rescind their  subscription  for a specified  period of time. If the offering is
not completed for any reason, all funds submitted pursuant to the offerings will
be promptly refunded with interest as described above.

         Owners  of  self-directed  IRAs may use the  assets  of  their  IRAs to
purchase  shares of common stock in the offerings,  provided that their IRAs are
not maintained on deposit at St.  Edmond's  Federal  Savings Bank.  Persons with
IRAs  maintained at St.  Edmond's  Federal Savings Bank must have their accounts
transferred  to an  unaffiliated  institution  or broker to  purchase  shares of
common  stock in the  offerings.  There is no early  withdrawal  or IRS interest
penalties for these  transfers.  Instructions  on how to transfer  self-directed
IRAs  maintained at St.  Edmond's  Federal Savings Bank can be obtained from the
conversion  center.  Depositors  interested  in using  funds  in a St.  Edmond's
Federal  Savings Bank IRA to purchase common stock should contact the conversion
center  as soon as  possible  so that  the  necessary  forms  may be  forwarded,
executed and returned prior to the expiration date.

         Federal  regulations  prohibit St.  Edmond's  Federal Savings Bank from
lending funds or extending  credit to any person to purchase the common stock in
the conversion.

         Conversion  Center.  The  conversion  center is located at 1901-03 East
Passyunk  Avenue,  Philadelphia,  Pennsylvania  19148. Its phone number is (888)
234-6705.

         Delivery of Stock Certificates.  Certificates representing common stock
issued in the  offering  will be mailed to the persons  entitled  thereto at the
address noted on the order form, as soon as practicable  following completion of
the offering.  Any  certificates  returned as  undeliverable  will be held until
claimed  by  persons  legally  entitled  thereto  or  otherwise  disposed  of in
accordance  with  applicable  law. Until  certificates  for the common stock are
available and delivered to subscribers,  subscribers may not be able to sell the
shares of stock for which they subscribed.

Restrictions on Repurchase of Shares

         Generally, during the first year following the conversion, SE Financial
Corp.  may  not   repurchase  its  shares  unless  it  can  show   extraordinary
circumstances.  If extraordinary  circumstances  exist and if SE Financial Corp.
can show a compelling and valid business purpose for the repurchase,  the Office
of Thrift  Supervision  may approve  repurchases of up to 5% of the  outstanding
stock during the first year after conversion. After the first year following the
conversion,  we can  repurchase  any  amount of stock so long as the  repurchase
would not cause the Bank to become undercapitalized. In addition, Securities and
Exchange  Commission  rules also govern the method,  time,  price, and number of
shares of  common  stock  that may be  repurchased  by SE  Financial  Corp.  and
affiliated  purchasers.  If, in the future, the rules and regulations  regarding
the  repurchase of stock are  liberalized,  SE Financial  Corp.  may utilize the
rules and regulations then in effect.

Stock Pricing and the Number of Shares to be Offered

         FinPro, Inc. has been retained to prepare an appraisal of the estimated
pro forma  market  value of the common stock (the  "Independent  Valuation")  in
accordance  with  applicable  regulations  and  policies of the Office of Thrift
Supervision. The independent valuation will express St. Edmond's Federal Savings
Bank's  pro forma  market  value in terms of an  aggregate  dollar  amount.  The
appraisal is an independent  appraisal reviewed but not approved by the Board of
Directors.

                                       90



         The number of shares of common stock to be offered in the offering will
be based on the  estimated  pro forma  market  value of the common stock and the
purchase price of $10.00 per share.  FinPro has  determined  that as of March 4,
2004, St. Edmond's Federal Savings Bank's  estimated  aggregate pro forma market
value was $19,500,000. Pursuant to regulations, a valuation range of $16,575,000
to  $22,425,000  has been  established.  We have  determined  to offer shares of
common  stock in the  offering  at a price of $10.00  per share.  The  appraisal
contains an analysis  of a number of factors,  including  but not limited to the
Bank's financial condition and results of operations as of October 31, 2003, the
Bank's  operating  trends,  the  competitive  environment  in which it operates,
operating  trends of certain savings  institutions  and savings and loan holding
companies,  relevant  economic  conditions  both  nationally and in Pennsylvania
which affect the  operations  of savings  institutions,  stock market  values of
certain  institutions,  and stock market  conditions for publicly traded savings
institutions  and  savings  and loan  holding  companies.  In  addition,  FinPro
considered the effect of the additional capital raised by the sale of the common
stock on the estimated pro forma market value.

         We are offering a maximum of 2,242,500 shares in the offering,  subject
to  adjustment.  The actual  number of shares to be sold in the  offering may be
increased or decreased  before  completion of the offering,  subject to approval
and  conditions  that may be  imposed by the  Office of Thrift  Supervision,  to
reflect any change in St. Edmond's  Federal  Savings Bank's  estimated pro forma
market value.

         Depending  on  market  and  financial  conditions  at the  time  of the
completion of the offering,  St.  Edmond's  Federal Savings Bank may increase or
decrease the number of shares to be issued in the  conversion  and offering.  No
resolicitation  of purchasers  will be made and purchasers will not be permitted
to modify or cancel  their  purchase  orders  unless the change in the number of
shares to be issued in the offering  results in fewer than  1,657,500  shares or
more than  2,578,875  shares being sold in the offering at the purchase price of
$10.00,  in which  event St.  Edmond's  Federal  Savings  Bank may also elect to
terminate the offering.  If St.  Edmond's  Federal  Savings Bank  terminates the
offering,  purchasers  will receive a prompt  refund of their  purchase  orders,
together  with interest  earned  thereon from the date of receipt to the date of
termination of the offering.  Furthermore, any account withdrawal authorizations
will be terminated.  If we receive orders for less than 1,657,500 shares, at the
discretion  of the Board of  Directors  and subject to approval of the Office of
Thrift  Supervision,  we  may  establish  a new  offering  range  and  resolicit
purchasers.  If we  resolicit,  purchasers  will be  allowed to modify or cancel
their purchase  orders.  Any adjustments in St. Edmond's  Federal Savings Bank's
pro forma  market  value as a result of market  and  financial  conditions  or a
resolicitation  of  prospective  purchasers  must be  approved  by the Office of
Thrift Supervision.

         The independent valuation will be updated at the time of the completion
of the offering,  and the number of shares to be issued may increase or decrease
to reflect the changes in market conditions, the results of the offering, or the
estimated pro forma market value of St.  Edmond's  Federal  Savings Bank. If the
updated  independent  valuation  increases,  SE Financial Corp. may increase the
number of shares sold in the  offering to up to  2,578,875  shares.  Subscribers
will not be given the opportunity to change or withdraw their orders unless more
than 2,578,875  shares or fewer than 1,657,500  shares are sold in the offering.
Any adjustment of shares of common stock sold will have a  corresponding  effect
on the estimated  net proceeds of the offering and the pro forma  capitalization
and per share data of St.  Edmond's  Federal  Savings  Bank.  An increase in the
total  number  of  shares  to be  issued  in the  conversion  would  decrease  a
subscriber's  percentage ownership interest and pro forma net worth (book value)
per share and increase the pro forma net income and net worth (book value) on an
aggregate  basis.  In the event of a reduction  in the  valuation,  SE Financial
Corp.  may  decrease  the number of shares to be issued to reflect  the  reduced
valuation.  A decrease  in the  number of shares to be issued in the  conversion
would increase a subscriber's  percentage  ownership  interest and the pro forma
net worth (book value) per share and

                                       91



decrease  the pro forma net income and net worth on an  aggregate  basis.  For a
presentation of the possible effects of an increase or decrease in the number of
shares to be issued, see Pro Forma Data.

(1)  The price/core  earnings  multiples  shown here for SE Financial  Corp. are
     based on core  earnings  as required by  regulatory  appraisal  guidelines,
     while the information  presented in the tables under Pro Forma Data on page
     19 is based on net income.

         The  ratios  presented  above are  commonly  requested  by  prospective
investors  in order to determine  whether or not the stock meets the  investor's
investment  criteria.  Because of  differences  and  important  factors  such as
operating characteristics, financial performance, asset size, capital structure,
and business  prospects between us and other fully converted  institutions,  you
should not rely on these  comparative  valuation  ratios as an  indication as to
whether or not the stock is an appropriate investment for you.

         FinPro,   Inc.'s  valuation  takes  into  account  the  effect  of  the
additional  capital  raised  by the sale of the  common  stock  on St.  Edmond's
Federal  Savings  Bank's  estimated  pro forma market  value.  In preparing  its
independent  valuation,  FinPro,  Inc.  focused  primarily  on the price to core
earnings  and price to tangible  book  valuation  methodologies.  Core  earnings
differ from net income as presented in the income  statement.  Core earnings are
net income before  extraordinary items, less the after-tax portion of investment
securities,  nonrecurring items and other gains on sale. FinPro, Inc. chose this
metric as a means of excluding components of income that are not likely to recur
and are therefore  considered by FinPro,  Inc. to be less reliable for valuation
purposes.

         FinPro,  Inc.'s  valuation  is based  on an  analysis  of St.  Edmond's
Federal Savings Bank relative to a selected group of ten "comparable"  financial
institutions that are "fully converted". FinPro, Inc. made valuation adjustments
relative to the "comparable" group based on the following factors:

o    financial condition;
o    balance sheet growth;

                                       92



o   earnings quality, predictability and growth;
o   market area;
o   cash dividends;
o   liquidity of the issue; and
o   recent regulatory matters.

         The  valuation  of St.  Edmond's  Federal  Savings  Bank is priced at a
discount  relative  to the  comparable  group's  price to  tangible  book  value
multiple. In determining the valuation, FinPro, Inc. has made adjustments to the
market value relative to the comparable group. Taken collectively,  FinPro, Inc.
determined  that the  value of St.  Edmond's  Federal  Savings  Bank  should  be
discounted  relative to the comparable  group multiples,  for reasons  including
that  the  comparable  group  consists  of  Nasdaq  traded  companies,  while SE
Financial  Corp.  will not  trade on  Nasdaq  and thus will not have as active a
trading  market.  FinPro,  Inc. also  considered the market area of St. Edmond's
Federal Savings Bank's relative to that of the comparable  group, and determined
that a downward  adjustment to the  appraisal  was warranted  because of how St.
Edmond's  Federal Savings Bank compared to the comparable  group.  FinPro,  Inc.
also considered the pricing of other thrift stock issuances in the appraisal.

         The independent  valuation is not intended,  and must not be construed,
as a recommendation  of any kind as to the advisability of purchasing the common
stock. In preparing the independent valuation,  FinPro has relied on and assumed
the accuracy and completeness of financial and statistical  information provided
by St. Edmond's Federal Savings Bank.  FinPro did not  independently  verify the
consolidated financial statements and other information provided by St. Edmond's
Federal  Savings  Bank,  nor did  FinPro  value  independently  the  assets  and
liabilities of St.  Edmond's  Federal  Savings Bank. The  independent  valuation
considers St.  Edmond's  Federal Savings Bank only as a going concern and should
not be  considered  as a indication  of the  liquidation  value of St.  Edmond's
Federal Savings Bank.  Moreover,  because the independent  valuation is based on
estimates and  projections  on a number of matters,  all of which are subject to
change from time to time, no assurance can be given that persons  purchasing the
common  stock will be able to sell their  shares at a price  equal to or greater
than the purchase  price.  In  addition,  the Board of Directors of SE Financial
Corp. does not make any  recommendation as to whether or not the stock will be a
good investment for you.

         No sale of shares  of  common  stock  may be  completed  unless  FinPro
confirms  that, to the best of its knowledge,  nothing of a material  nature has
occurred that, taking into account all relevant  factors,  would cause FinPro to
conclude that the independent valuation is incompatible with its estimate of St.
Edmond's  Federal Savings Bank's pro forma market value at the conclusion of the
offering.  Any change  that  would  result in an  aggregate  value that is below
$16,575,000  or  above   $25,788,750  would  be  subject  to  Office  of  Thrift
Supervision approval. If confirmation from FinPro is not received,  St. Edmond's
Federal Savings Bank may extend the offering, reopen or commence a new offering,
request a new Independent Valuation, establish a new offering range and commence
a  resolicitation  of all  purchasers  with the approval of the Office of Thrift
Supervision,  or  take  other  action  as  permitted  by the  Office  of  Thrift
Supervision in order to complete the offering.

         Office of Thrift Supervision  regulations  require that the independent
valuation  be  performed  by an  independent  firm  experienced  and  expert  in
corporate  appraisals  and that such firm be  acceptable to the Office of Thrift
Supervision. Since 1996, FinPro has acted as the conversion appraiser on over 40
thrift  conversions  of various  structures,  making FinPro one of the top three
conversion appraisal firms nationally over that time period. FinPro will receive
fees of $28,000 for its  appraisal  services for St.  Edmond's  Federal  Savings
Bank,  including  the final  appraisal,  and  assistance in  preparation  of the
business plan, and

                                       93



$6,500  for  any  appraisal   updates,   plus   reimbursement   for   reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the independent valuation and
business plan. St. Edmond's  Federal Savings Bank has agreed to indemnify FinPro
under certain  circumstances  against liabilities and expenses arising out of or
based on any  misstatement  or untrue  statement of a material fact contained in
the information supplied by St. Edmond's Federal Savings Bank to FinPro,  except
where  FinPro is  determined  to have been  negligent  or failed to exercise due
diligence in the preparation of the independent valuation.

Plan of Distribution/Marketing Arrangements

         Offering  materials have been initially  distributed to certain persons
by mail, with additional copies made available through the conversion center and
Sandler O'Neill. All prospective  purchasers are to send payment directly to St.
Edmond's  Federal  Savings  Bank,  where  such  funds will be held in a separate
escrow  account  earning  interest at the regular  savings  account rate and not
released until the offering is completed or terminated.

         We have engaged Sandler  O'Neill,  a broker-dealer  registered with the
NASD, as a financial and  marketing  advisor in connection  with the offering of
our common  stock.  In its role as  financial  and  marketing  advisor,  Sandler
O'Neill  will assist us in the  offering as follows:  (i)  consulting  as to the
securities  marketing  implications  of any aspect of the plan of  conversion or
related  corporate  documents;  (ii)  reviewing  with our Board of Directors the
financial  implications of the independent  appraiser's  appraisal of the common
stock; (iii) reviewing all offering documents,  including the prospectus,  stock
order  forms  and  related  offering  materials  (we  are  responsible  for  the
preparation  and filing of such  documents);  (iv)  assisting  in the design and
implementation  of a marketing  strategy for the  offering;  (v) assisting us in
preparing for meetings with  potential  investors and  broker-dealers;  and (vi)
providing  such other  general  advice and  assistance  regarding  financial and
marketing  aspects of the conversion.  For these services,  Sandler O'Neill will
receive a fee of 1% of the  aggregate  dollar amount of the common stock sold in
the  subscription and community  offerings if the conversion is consummated.  We
have made an advance payment of $25,000 to Sandler O'Neill.

         To the extent any shares of the common stock remain available after the
subscription and community offering,  Sandler O'Neill, at our request,  may seek
to form a syndicate of registered  broker-dealers  to assist in the solicitation
of orders of the common stock in a syndicated community offering, subject to the
terms and conditions to be set forth in a selected dealer's  agreement.  Sandler
O'Neill has agreed to use its best efforts to assist us with the solicitation of
subscriptions  and  orders  for  shares of our  common  stock in the  syndicated
community  offering.  Sandler  O'Neill is not  obligated to take or purchase any
shares of our common stock in the  offering.  Sandler  O'Neill has  expressed no
opinion  as to the prices at which the  common  stock may trade nor has  Sandler
O'Neill  provided any written  report or opinion to us as to the fairness of the
conversion.  If there is a syndicated community offering, the total fees payable
to Sandler  O'Neill  and other NASD  member  firms in the  syndicated  community
offering shall not exceed 7% of the aggregate  dollar amount of the common stock
sold in the syndicated community offering.

         In addition, we have engaged Sandler O'Neill to act as conversion agent
in  connection  with the  offering.  In its role as  conversion  agent,  Sandler
O'Neill will assist us in the offering as follows: (i) consolidation of accounts
and  development  of a central file;  (ii)  preparation  of proxy,  order and/or
request forms; (iii) organization and supervision of the conversion center; (iv)
proxy solicitation and special meeting services;  and (v) subscription services.
For  these  services,  Sandler  O'Neill  will  receive  a  fee  of  $10,000  and
reimbursement for its reasonable  out-of-pocket expenses. For these services, we
have made an advance payment of $5,000 to Sandler O'Neill.

                                       94



         We also will reimburse Sandler O'Neill for its reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses  associated  with its  marketing  effort,  up to a maximum  of  $50,000
(including legal fees and expenses).  If the plan of conversion is terminated or
if Sandler  O'Neill  terminates  its agreement  with us in  accordance  with the
provisions of the agreement,  Sandler O'Neill will only receive reimbursement of
its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. We will indemnify Sandler O'Neill against
liabilities  and expenses  (including  legal fees)  incurred in connection  with
certain claims or litigation  arising out of or based upon untrue  statements or
omissions  contained in the offering  material for the common  stock,  including
liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933.

         Our  directors  and  executive  officers  will not  participate  in the
solicitation  of offers to purchase  common stock.  Other trained  employees may
participate in the offering in ministerial  capacities,  providing clerical work
in effecting a sales transaction or answering questions of a ministerial nature.
Other  questions  of  prospective  purchasers  will be  directed  to  registered
representatives of Sandler O'Neill.  No officer,  director,  or employee will be
compensated  for his  participation  by the  payment  of  commissions  or  other
remuneration  based either  directly or  indirectly on the  transactions  in the
common stock.

         The  offering  will  comply  with  the   requirements   of  Rule  10b-9
promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Restrictions on Transferability by Directors and Officers

         Shares of the common  stock  purchased  by  directors or officers of SE
Financial Corp. cannot be sold for a period of one year following  completion of
the  conversion,  except  for a  disposition  of  shares  after  the  death of a
stockholder.  To ensure this  restriction is upheld,  shares of the common stock
issued to directors and officers will bear a legend  restricting their sale. Any
shares issued to directors  and officers as a stock  dividend,  stock split,  or
otherwise  with  respect  to  restricted  stock  will  be  subject  to the  same
restriction.

         For a period of three years  following the  conversion,  no director or
officer  of SE  Financial  Corp.  or their  associates  may,  without  the prior
approval of the Office of Thrift  Supervision,  purchase our common stock except
from a broker or dealer registered with the Securities and Exchange  Commission.
This prohibition does not apply to negotiated  transactions  including more than
1% of our common stock or purchases made for tax qualified or non-tax  qualified
employee stock benefit plans which may be attributable to individual officers or
directors.

Restrictions on Agreements or Understandings  Regarding Transfer of Common Stock
to be Purchased in the Offering

         Before the completion of the conversion and offering,  no depositor may
transfer  or  enter  into  an  agreement  or   understanding   to  transfer  any
subscription rights or the legal or beneficial ownership of the shares of common
stock to be purchased in the offering.  Depositors who submit an order form will
be required to certify  that their  purchase of common stock is solely for their
own account and there is no agreement  or  understanding  regarding  the sale or
transfer of their  shares.  We intend to pursue any and all legal and  equitable
remedies after we become aware of any agreement or  understanding,  and will not
honor orders we  reasonably  believe to involve an  agreement  or  understanding
regarding the sale or transfer of shares.

                RESTRICTIONS ON ACQUISITION OF SE FINANCIAL CORP.

General

         The principal federal  regulatory  restrictions that affect the ability
of any  person,  firm or entity to  acquire SE  Financial  Corp.,  St.  Edmond's
Federal Savings Bank or their respective capital stock are described below. Also
discussed  are  certain   provisions  in  SE  Financial   Corp.'s   articles  of
incorporation  and bylaws which may be deemed to affect the ability of a person,
firm or entity to acquire SE Financial Corp.

Statutory and Regulatory Restrictions on Acquisition

         The Change in Bank Control Act provides that no person, acting directly
or  indirectly  or  through or in concert  with one or more other  persons,  may
acquire control of a savings institution unless the Office of Thrift Supervision
has been given 60 days prior written notice.  The Home Owners' Loan Act provides
that no company may acquire "control" of a savings institution without the prior
approval of the Office of Thrift  Supervision.  Any company that  acquires  such
control  becomes a savings and loan  holding  company  subject to  registration,
examination  and  regulation  by the Office of Thrift  Supervision.  Pursuant to
federal regulations,  control of a savings institution is conclusively deemed to
have been acquired by, among other things,  the  acquisition of more than 25% of
any class of voting  stock of the  institution  or the  ability to  control  the
election of a majority of the directors of an institution.  Moreover, control is
presumed to have been  acquired,  subject to rebuttal,  upon the  acquisition of
more than 10% of any class of voting stock,  or of more than 25% of any class of
stock of a savings  institution,  where certain enumerated "control factors" are
also present in the acquisition.

         The Office of Thrift Supervision may prohibit an acquisition of control
if:

o    it would result in a monopoly or substantially lessen competition;

o    the  financial  condition  of the  acquiring  person might  jeopardize  the
     financial stability of the institution; or

o    the competence,  experience or integrity of the acquiring  person indicates
     that it would not be in the interest of the  depositors or of the public to
     permit the acquisition of control by such person.

         These  restrictions  do not  apply  to  the  acquisition  of a  savings
institution's capital stock by one or more tax-qualified  employee stock benefit
plans, provided that the plans do not have beneficial ownership of more than 25%
of any class of equity security of the savings institution.

         For a period of three years  following  completion  of the  conversion,
Office of Thrift  Supervision  regulations  generally  prohibit  any person from
acquiring or making an offer to acquire beneficial ownership of more than 10% of
the stock of SE Financial  Corp. or St.  Edmond's  Federal  Savings Bank without
Office of Thrift Supervision approval.

Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of SE Financial Corp.

         The  following  discussion  is a summary of certain  provisions  of the
articles  of  incorporation  and bylaws of SE  Financial  Corp.  that  relate to
corporate governance. The description is necessarily general

                                       96



and  qualified  by reference  to the  articles of  incorporation  and bylaws and
refers to the newly-formed Pennsylvania incorporated company.

         Classified  Board of Directors.  The Board of Directors of SE Financial
Corp.  is required  by the  articles of  incorporation  to be divided  into four
staggered  classes  which  are as equal  in size as is  possible.  One  class is
required to be elected  annually for four year terms, and classes are elected in
series. A classified board promotes continuity and stability of management of SE
Financial  Corp.,  but  makes it more  difficult  for  stockholders  to change a
majority  of the  directors  because  it  generally  takes at least  two  annual
elections of directors for this to occur.

         Director Qualification  Provisions. SE Financial Corp.'s bylaws provide
several qualification provisions applicable to members of its Board of Directors
that serve to ensure the loyalty and  professional  integrity of each individual
director.  In  particular,  the bylaws  provide that each director  must, at all
times,  reside within 50 miles of the home office or branch  office  location of
the Company's  wholly-owned  subsidiary,  St. Edmond's  Federal Savings Bank. In
addition, the bylaws provide that each director be a shareholder of SE Financial
Corp. and, at all times, hold a minimum of 500 shares of its stock.

         SE  Financial  Corp.'s  bylaws also  prohibit  persons  from serving as
director if that  individual  is currently  serving as a management  official of
another depository institution or depository holding company, as those terms are
defined by the  regulations  of the Office of Thrift  Supervision.  Further,  to
ensure the integrity and good character of SE Financial Corp.'s  directors,  the
bylaws  prohibit  a  person  from  serving  as a  director  if he:  (1) is under
indictment  for, or has ever been  convicted of, a criminal  offense,  involving
dishonesty  or  breach  of  trust  and the  penalty  for such  offense  could be
imprisonment  for more than one year;  (2) is a person against whom a federal or
state bank regulatory agency has, within the past ten years,  issued a cease and
desist order for conduct involving  dishonesty or breach of trust and that order
is final and not subject to appeal;  (3) has been found either by any federal or
state regulatory agency whose decision is final and not subject to appeal, or by
a court to have (a) committed a wilful  violation of any law, rule or regulation
governing banking, securities,  commodities or insurance, or any final cease and
desist  order  issued  by  a  banking,  securities,   commodities  or  insurance
regulatory  agency; or (b) breached a fiduciary duty involving  personal profit;
or (4) has been nominated by a person who would be disqualified  from serving as
a director under (1), (2) or (3).

         In addition to discouraging a takeover  attempt which a majority of our
stockholders  might  determine  to be in their  best  interest  or in which  our
stockholders  might  receive a premium over the current  market prices for their
shares,  the effect of these provisions may render the removal of our management
more difficult.

         Authorized but Unissued  Shares of Capital  Stock.  Following the stock
offering,  SE  Financial  Corp.  will have  authorized  but  unissued  shares of
preferred  stock and common stock.  See Description of Capital Stock on page 99.
These shares  could be used by the Board of Directors to make it more  difficult
or to discourage an attempt to obtain  control of SE Financial  Corp.  through a
merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise.

         Special  Meetings of  Stockholders.  SE Financial  Corp.'s  articles of
incorporation  provide that special  meetings of stockholders may be called only
by SE Financial  Corp.'s Board of Directors,  except as provided by Pennsylvania
law.

         Prohibition  on Cumulative  Voting.  SE Financial  Corp.'s  articles of
incorporation  provide that there will not be cumulative  voting by stockholders
for the election of SE Financial Corp.'s directors.  This could prevent minority
stockholder representation on SE Financial Corp.'s Board of Directors.

         Restrictions  on  Acquisition  of  Shares  and Vote  Sterilization.  SE
Financial  Corp.'s articles of  incorporation  provide that for a period of five
years  from the date of  completion  of the  conversion,  no person may offer to
acquire or acquire  the  beneficial  ownership  of more than 10% of any class of
equity security of SE Financial  Corp. In addition,  following the expiration of
the five year  prohibition on  acquisition of shares,  all shares owned over the
10% limit may not be voted in any matter  submitted to stockholders  for a vote.
This vote sterilization provision does not have an expiration date.

         Procedures for  Stockholder  Nominations.  SE Financial  Corp.'s bylaws
provide that any  stockholder  wanting to make a nomination  for the election of
directors or a proposal for new business at a meeting of stockholders  must send
written  notice to the  Secretary of SE Financial  Corp. at least 60 days before
the  anniversary  date of the prior year's annual  meeting.  The bylaws  further
provide that the Board of Directors may reject any  nominations or proposals for
new business that do not follow the prescribed  procedures.  Management believes
that it is in the best interests of SE Financial  Corp. and its  stockholders to
provide enough time for management to disclose to stockholders information about
a dissident slate of nominations for directors.  This advance notice requirement
may also give management time to solicit its own proxies in an attempt to defeat
any  dissident  slate of  nominations  if  management  thinks  it is in the best
interest  of  stockholders  generally.  Similarly,  adequate  advance  notice of
stockholder  proposals will give  management time to study such proposals and to
determine  whether to  recommend  to the  stockholders  that such  proposals  be
adopted.

         Procedures  for Business  Combinations.  Our articles of  incorporation
prohibit any merger,  consolidation,  sale, liquidation, or dissolution (each, a
business  combination) of SE Financial  Corp. with any "interested  stockholder"
for a  period  of  five  years  following  the  interested  stockholder's  stock
acquisition  date unless the  business  combination  is approved by a two-thirds
vote of the Board prior to the stock acquisition date. An interested stockholder
is any person who, directly or indirectly,  has the right to vote or to sell 10%
or more of the  outstanding  shares.  Affiliates and associates of an interested
shareholder are also considered to be interested shareholders.

         In addition, our articles of incorporation require that at least one of
the  following  conditions  be met to engage in a business  combination  with an
interested stockholder:  (i) approval by a vote of two-thirds of the Board prior
to the interested  stockholder's  stock acquisition date and thereafter approved
by  stockholders;  (ii)  approval by the  affirmative  vote of the holders of at
least  80% of the  voting  shares  not  beneficially  owned  by that  interested
stockholder  at a meeting  called for such  purpose;  or (iii)  satisfaction  of
certain minimum price conditions, as set forth in our articles of incorporation.

         In addition to the interested shareholder restrictions, our articles of
incorporation  also  require  the  affirmative  vote  of at  least  80%  of  the
outstanding  shares in order  for us to enter  into any  merger,  consolidation,
sale,  liquidation,  or dissolution of us, unless the transaction is approved by
two-thirds of our Board of Directors.

         Amendment to Articles of  Incorporation  and Bylaws.  Amendments to our
articles of incorporation must be approved by our Board of Directors and also by
the holders of a majority of the shares.  Approval by at least 80% of the shares
is  required to amend  provisions  relating to  preemptive  rights;  stockholder
meetings;  cumulative voting;  proxies;  stockholder  proposals and nominations;
directors;  removal of directors;  restrictions on the acquisition and voting of
more than 10% of the common stock; approval of

                                       98



business  combinations  with interested  stockholders;  directors' and officers'
liability;  and  indemnification  of officers  and  directors;  amendment of the
bylaws; and amendment of the articles of incorporation.

         Our  bylaws  may be  amended  by a  two-thirds  vote  of our  Board  of
Directors or by the holders of at least 80% of the shares.

                          DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

         SE Financial  Corp. is authorized to issue  8,000,000  shares of common
stock, par value $0.10 per share and 2,000,000 shares of serial preferred stock,
no par value.  Upon payment of the purchase  price shares of common stock issued
in the  offering  will be fully  paid and  non-assessable.  Each share of common
stock  will have the same  relative  rights  as,  and will be  identical  in all
respects with, each other share of common stock. The common stock will represent
non-withdrawable  capital, will not be an account of insurable type and will not
be  insured  by  the  Federal  Deposit   Insurance   Corporation  or  any  other
governmental  agency. The Board of Directors can, without stockholder  approval,
issue additional shares of common stock.

Common Stock

         Distributions.  SE Financial  Corp.  can pay  dividends if, as and when
declared by its Board of Directors,  subject to compliance with limitations that
are imposed by law. See Dividend  Policy on page 17. The holders of common stock
of SE  Financial  Corp.  will be entitled  to receive and share  equally in such
dividends as may be declared by the Board of Directors of SE Financial Corp. out
of funds legally  available  therefor.  If SE Financial Corp.  issues  preferred
stock,  the holders  thereof may have a priority  over the holders of the common
stock with respect to dividends.

         Voting  Rights.  The  holders of common  stock will  possess  exclusive
voting rights in SE Financial Corp. The holder of shares of common stock will be
entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters  subject to  stockholder
vote and will not have any right to cumulate votes in the election of directors.

         Liquidation  Rights. In the event of any liquidation,  dissolution,  or
winding-up  of SE Financial  Corp.,  the holders of the common  stock  generally
would be entitled to receive,  after payment of all debts and  liabilities of SE
Financial Corp.  (including all debts and  liabilities of St.  Edmond's  Federal
Savings Bank and distribution of the balance in the special  liquidation account
of St. Edmond's Federal Savings Bank to eligible account holders), all assets of
SE Financial Corp. available for distribution. If preferred stock is issued, the
holders  thereof may have a priority over the holders of the common stock in the
event of liquidation or dissolution.

         Preemptive Rights; Redemption.  Because the holders of the common stock
do not have any preemptive  rights with respect to any shares SE Financial Corp.
may  issue,  the  Board of  Directors  may sell  shares of  capital  stock of SE
Financial Corp. without first offering such shares to existing stockholders. The
common stock will not be subject to any redemption provisions.

Preferred Stock

         We are authorized to issue up to 2,000,000  shares of serial  preferred
stock and to fix and state voting powers,  designations,  preferences,  or other
special  rights of  preferred  stock  and the  qualifications,  limitations  and
restrictions  of those  shares as the Board of  Directors  may  determine in its
discretion.  Preferred stock may be issued in distinctly  designated series, may
be convertible into common stock and

                                       99



may  rank  prior  to  the  common  stock  as  to  dividend  rights,  liquidation
preferences,  or both, and may have full or limited voting rights.  The issuance
of preferred stock could adversely affect the voting and other rights of holders
of common stock.

         The  authorized  but  unissued   shares  of  preferred  stock  and  the
authorized but unissued and unreserved  shares of common stock will be available
for issuance in future mergers or  acquisitions,  in future public  offerings or
private  placements.  Except as otherwise required to approve the transaction in
which the additional  authorized  shares of preferred stock would be issued,  no
stockholder  approval  generally  would be  required  for the  issuance of these
shares.

                             LEGAL AND TAX OPINIONS

         The  legality  of the  issuance of the common  stock being  offered and
certain  matters  relating to the conversion and federal and state taxation will
be passed upon for us by Malizia Spidi & Fisch,  PC,  Washington,  D.C.  Certain
legal matters will be passed upon for Sandler  O'Neill & Partners,  L.P. by Luse
Gorman Pomerenk & Schick, P.C., Washington, D.C.

                         REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
                         ------------------------------



Board of Directors
St. Edmond's Federal Savings Bank

We have audited the  accompanying  consolidated  balance  sheet of St.  Edmond's
Federal  Savings Bank and  Subsidiary  as of October 31, 2003 and 2002,  and the
related  consolidated  statements of income,  changes in retained earnings,  and
cash  flows  for the  years  then  ended.  These  financial  statements  are the
responsibility  of the Bank's  management.  Our  responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the  United  States of  America.  Those  standards  require  that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain  reasonable  assurance  about  whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a
test basis,  evidence  supporting  the amounts and  disclosures in the financial
statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant  estimates  made by  management  as well as  evaluating  the overall
financial  statement  presentation.   We  believe  that  our  audits  provide  a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion,  the financial  statements  referred to above present fairly, in
all material  respects,  the  consolidated  financial  position of St.  Edmond's
Federal  Savings Bank and  Subsidiary  as of October 31, 2003 and 2002,  and the
results  of their  operations  and their  cash flows for the years then ended in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America.

                ST. EDMOND'S FEDERAL SAVINGS BANK AND SUBSIDIARY
                 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.       SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A summary  of  significant  accounting  and  reporting  policies  applied in the
presentation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements follows:

Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation
- ----------------------------------------------

St. Edmond's Federal Savings Bank (the "Bank") is a federally-chartered  savings
bank located in  Philadelphia,  Pennsylvania.  The Bank's  principal  sources of
revenue  emanate from its  investment  securities  portfolio,  its  portfolio of
residential real estate,  commercial, and consumer loans as well as a variety of
deposit  services  offered  to its  customers  through  two  offices  located in
Philadelphia County,  Pennsylvania,  and Gloucester County, New Jersey. The Bank
is subject to regulation and supervision by the Office of Thrift Supervision.

The consolidated  financial  statements include the accounts of the Bank and its
wholly-owned  subsidiary,  SE Investment  Services Corp. ("Services Corp."),  an
inactive   investment   services  and  products   provider.   All   intercompany
transactions  have  been  eliminated  in   consoli-dation.   The  investment  in
subsidiary on the Bank's financial statements is carried at the Bank's equity in
the underlying net assets of the Services Corp.

The  accounting  principles  followed by the Bank and the Services Corp. and the
methods  of  applying  these  principles  conform  with  accounting   principles
generally  accepted  in the  United  States of America  and to general  practice
within the banking industry. In preparing the consolidated financial statements,
management  is  required  to make  estimates  and  assumptions  that  affect the
reported  amounts of assets and  liabilities  as of the  balance  sheet date and
related  revenues  and  expenses  for the period.  Actual  results  could differ
significantly from those estimates.

Investment Securities
- ---------------------

The  Bank  has  classified  investment  securities,   including  mortgage-backed
securities, as available for sale to serve principally as a source of liquidity.
Unrealized  holding  gains and  losses  for  securities  available  for sale are
reported  as a  separate  component  of  retained  earnings,  net of tax,  until
realized.  Realized  securities gains and losses are computed using the specific
identification  method.  Interest and  dividends on  investment  securities  are
recognized as income when earned.

Common stock of the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB")  represents  ownership in an
institution  that is wholly-owned by other financial  institutions.  This equity
security is accounted for at cost and classified  separately on the Consolidated
Balance Sheet.

Loans Receivable
- ----------------

Loans are stated at the principal amount outstanding less the allowance for loan
losses and net of deferred loan origination fees and costs. Interest on loans is
recognized as income when earned on the accrual method.

Loans on which the accrual of interest has been  discontinued  are designated as
nonaccrual loans. Accrual of interest on loans is generally discontinued when it
is  determined  that a  reasonable  doubt  exists  as to the  collectibility  of
principal, interest, or both. Loans are returned to accrual status when past due
interest is collected and the collection of principal is probable.

Loan  origination  fees and  certain  direct  loan  origination  costs are being
deferred and the net amount  amortized as an  adjustment  of the related  loan's
yield.  The Bank is amortizing  these amounts over the  contractual  life of the
related loans using the interest method.

1.       SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Allowance for Loan Losses
- -------------------------

The  allowance  for loan losses is  maintained  at a level by  management  which
represents the evaluation of known and inherent losses  in the loan portfolio at
the balance  sheet date.  The  allowance  method is used in  providing  for loan
losses.  Accordingly,  all loan  losses are  charged to the  allowance,  and all
recoveries are credited to it. The allowance is established  through a provision
which  is   charged  to   operations.    Management's   evaluation   takes  into
consideration  the risks inherent in the loan  portfolio,  past  experience with
losses,  the impact of economic  conditions  on  borrowers,  and other  relevant
factors.  The  estimates  used in  determining  the  adequacy of the  allowance,
including  the  amounts  and timing of future  cash flows  expected  on impaired
loans, are particularly susceptible to significant changes in the near term.

A commercial  real estate loan is  considered  impaired  when it is probable the
borrower will not repay the loan according to the original  contractual terms of
the loan  agreement.  Management  has  determined  that first  mortgage loans on
one-to-four  family  properties and all consumer loans represent large groups of
smaller-balance  homo-geneous loans that are to be collectively evaluated. Loans
that experience  insignificant  payment delays,  which are defined as 90 days or
less,  generally are not classified as impaired. A loan is not impaired during a
period of delay in  payment  if the Bank  expects to  collect  all  amounts  due
including  interest  accrued at the contractual  interest rate for the period of
delay.  All  loans  identified  as  impaired  are  evaluated   independently  by
management.  The Bank  estimates  credit  losses on impaired  loans based on the
present  value  of  expected  cash  flows or the  fair  value of the  underlying
collateral if the loan  repayment is expected to come from the sale or operation
of such collateral. Impaired loans, or portions thereof, are charged off when it
is determined  that a realized loss has occurred.  Until such time, an allowance
is maintained for estimated losses.  Cash receipts on impaired loans are applied
first to accrued  interest  receivable  unless  otherwise  required  by the loan
terms, except when an impaired loan is also a nonaccrual loan, in which case the
portion of the receipts related to interest is recognized as income.

Mortgage loans on one-to-four family properties and all consumer loans are large
groups of  smaller-balance  homogeneous  loans and are measured  for  impairment
collectively.  Loans that experience  insignificant  payment  delays,  which are
defined as 90 days or less, generally are not classified as impaired. Management
determines the  significance  of payment  delays on a case-by-case  basis taking
into  consideration  all of the  circumstances  surrounding  the  loan  and  the
borrower including the length of the delay, the borrower's prior payment record,
and the amount of shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed.

Premises and Equipment
- ----------------------

Premises,  leasehold  improvements,  and  equipment  are  stated  at  cost  less
accumulated  depreciation  and  amortization.  Depreciation and amortization are
calculated using the  straight-line  method over the useful lives of the related
assets, which range from two to ten years for furniture, fixtures, and equipment
and 30 to 31.5 years for building premises. Leasehold improvements are amortized
over the  shorter of their  estimated  useful  lives or their  respective  lease
terms,  which range from three to five years.  Expenditures  for maintenance and
repairs are charged to  operations  as incurred.  Costs of major  additions  and
improvements are capitalized.

Real Estate Owned
- -----------------

Real estate owned  acquired in settlement of foreclosed  loans is carried at the
lower of cost or fair value minus estimated costs to sell.  Valuation allowances
for  estimated  losses are provided  when the carrying  value of the real estate
acquired exceeds fair value minus estimated costs to sell. Operating expenses of
such properties, net of related income, are expensed in the period incurred.

Federal Income Taxes
- --------------------

The Bank and subsidiary file a consolidated Federal income tax return.  Deferred
tax assets and liabilities  are reflected  based on the differences  between the
financial statement and the income tax basis of assets and liabilities using the
enacted marginal tax rates. Deferred income tax expense and benefit are based on
the changes in the deferred tax assets or liabilities from period to period.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
- -------------------------

The Bank has defined  cash and cash  equivalents  as cash and due from banks and
interest-bearing  deposits with other institutions that have original maturities
of less than 90 days.

Comprehensive Income
- --------------------

The Bank is required to present  comprehensive  income and its  components  in a
full set of  general-purpose  financial  statements  for all periods  presented.
Other  comprehensive  income is comprised  exclusively of net unrealized holding
gains  (losses) on its  available-for-sale  securities  portfolio.  The Bank has
elected  to report  the  effects  of other  comprehensive  income as part of the
Consolidated Statement of Changes in Retained Earnings.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
- --------------------------------

In August  2001,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  ("FASB")  issued
Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards  ("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 November 1, 2002, did not have a material effect
on the Bank'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  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  Bank'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. The adoption
of this  statement  did not  have a  material  effect  on the  Bank's  financial
position or results of operations.

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  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  September  30,  2003,  except as stated  below and for  hedging
relationships  designated  after  September  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 September 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 September 30, 2003. The adoption of this statement
did not have a material  effect on the Bank's  financial  position or results of
operations.

In May 2003,  the FASB issued FAS No.  150,  Accounting  for  Certain  Financial
Instruments with  Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity. This statement
establishes  standards  for  how  an  issuer  classifies  and  measures  certain
financial  instruments with  characteristics  of both liabilities and equity. It
requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is within its scope
as a liability (or an asset in some  circumstances).  Such  instruments may have
been previously  classified as equity. This statement is effective for financial
instruments  entered  into or modified  after May 31,  2003,  and  otherwise  is
effective at the beginning of the first interim period  beginning after June 15,
2003,  except for  mandatorily  redeemable  financial  instrument  of  nonpublic
entities.  These  financial  instrument  are subject to the  provisions  of this
Statement for the first fiscal period  beginning  after  December 15, 2003.  The
adoption of this statement has not and is not expected to have a material effect
on the Bank's reported equity.

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

1.      SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

- --------------------------------------------

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 Bank'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.  In October,
2003, the FASB decided to defer to the fourth quarter from the third quarter the
implementation  date for  Interpretation  No. 46. This  deferral only applies to
variable  interest entities that existed prior to February 1, 2003. The adoption
of this  interpretation has not and is not expected to have a material effect on
the Bank's financial position or results of operations.

Reclassification of Comparative Amounts
- ---------------------------------------

Certain  items  previously  reported  have been  reclassified  to conform to the
current  year's  reporting  format.  Such  reclassifications  did not affect net
income or retained earnings.

3.      LOANS RECEIVABLE (Continued)

Mortgage  loans  serviced  by the Bank for others  amounted  to  $5,886,718  and
$10,176,477 at October 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

The Bank's primary business  activity is with customers located within its local
trade  area.   Commercial,   residential,   and  personal   loans  are  granted.
Approximately $10.9 million or 21.3 percent,  and $12.7 million or 24.6 percent,
of the loan portfolio at October 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively,  was comprised
of  non  owner-occupied  rental  property  loan  arrangements.   In  general,  a
substantial portion of the Bank's loan customers'  abilities to honor their loan
agreements is dependent upon the economic stability of the immediate trade area.

Activity in the  allowance  for loan  losses for the years  ended  October 31 is
summarized as follows:

The Bank had  nonaccrual  loans of $155,168 and $385,782 at October 31, 2003 and
2002, respectively, which in management's opinion did not meet the definition of
impaired.  Interest  income on loans would have been increased by  approximately
$15,000 and $23,000,  respectively,  if these loans had  performed in accordance
with their original terms.

At October 31, 2003 and 2002,  respectively,  the recorded  investment  in loans
which were  considered  to be impaired was $214,672 and  $157,301,  of which all
were  nonaccrual.  In  addition,   $16,453  and  $41,517,  for  2003  and  2002,
respectively,  of the  related  allowance  for loan  losses  was  allocated  for
impaired  loans.  The average  recorded  investment in impaired loans during the
years ended October 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively,  was $109,746 and $159,364.
For the years  ended  October 31, 2003 and 2002,  the Bank  recognized  interest
income on impaired loans of $34,471 and $11,227, respectively.

In the normal course of business, loans are extended to officers, directors, and
corporations  in  which  they  are  beneficially   interested  as  stockholders,
officers,  or  directors.  A summary of loan  activity  for those  officers  and
directors  with  aggregate loan balances in excess of $60,000 for the year ended
October 31, 2003, is as follows:

7.      FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK BORROWINGS (Continued)

FHLB "RepoPlus" advances are short-term  borrowings that mature within one year,
bear a variable  rate of interest  that  adjusts  daily,  and are not subject to
prepayment penalties. The Bank has a maximum borrowing capacity of $58.8 million
with the FHLB at October 31, 2003.

The Bank entered into a ten-year  "Convertible  Select" fixed commitment advance
arrangement  for  $1,000,000  with the FHLB.  Rates  may be reset at the  FHLB's
discretion  on a quarterly  basis based on the  three-month  LIBOR rate. At each
rate  change  the Bank may  exercise a put option  and  satisfy  the  obligation
without penalty.

All  borrowings  from  the FHLB  are  secured  by a  blanket  lien on  qualified
collateral,  defined  principally  as investment  securities  and mortgage loans
which are owned by the Bank  free and  clear of any  liens or  encumbrances.  In
addition,  the Bank has a maximum  borrowing  capacity of $58.8 million with the
FHLB at October 31, 2003.

strategies  coupled with the  anticipated  future taxable income as evidenced by
the Bank's earnings potential.

The Bank is subject to the Pennsylvania  Mutual Thrift  Institutions Tax that is
calculated at 11.5 percent of earnings based on accounting  principles generally
accepted in the United States of America with certain adjustments.

9.       COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

Commitments
- -----------

In the normal course of business, management makes various commitments which are
not  reflected in the  accom-panying  financial  statements.  These  commitments
involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess
of the amount  recognized in the balance  sheet.  The Bank's  exposure to credit
loss in the  event of  nonperformance  by the  other  parties  to the  financial
instruments  is represented by the  contractual  amounts as disclosed.  The Bank
minimizes its exposure to credit loss under these commitments by subjecting them
to credit approval and review procedures and collateral requirements,  as deemed
necessary, in compliance with lending policy guidelines.  Generally, collateral,
usually in the form of real estate, is required to support financial instruments
with credit risk.

The off-balance sheet commitments were comprised of the following:

                                                  2003               2002
                                            -----------------  -----------------

     Commitments to extend credit           $      3,272,732   $      1,575,734

Included  above are fixed rate  commitments  of  approximately  $1,250,000  with
interest  rates  ranging  from 4.87  percent to 7.25  percent.  The  commitments
outstanding at October 31, 2003, contractually mature in less than one year.

Commitments  to extend  credit are  agreements  to lend to a customer as long as
there is no violation of any condition established in the loan agreement.  These
commitments are comprised  primarily of available  commercial and personal lines
of credit and loans  approved  but not yet funded.  Commitments  generally  have
fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a
fee.

Contingent Liabilities
- ----------------------

The Bank is involved in various legal actions from the normal course of business
activities. Management believes the liability, if any, arising from such actions
will not have a material adverse effect on the Bank's financial position.

                                      F-16


10.     EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

The  Bank  currently  sponsors  a 401(k)  savings  plan  for  substantially  all
employees  and officers of the Bank.  Under the terms of the plan,  the Bank may
match  eligible  employee  contributions  at  the  discretion  of the  Board  of
Directors not to exceed  amounts  allowable by law. All employees  with at least
one year of  service  who work  over  1,000  hours  per  year  are  eligible  to
participate in the plan. The Bank contributes 100 percent of the first 4 percent
of an  employee's  contribution  and 50  percent  of the next 2  percent,  for a
maximum match of 5 percent.  Such matching  contributions vest over a three-year
period. The Bank made contributions of approximately $39,000 and $31,000 for the
years ended October 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

11.      REGULATORY RESTRICTIONS

Regulatory Capital Requirements
- -------------------------------

Federal  regulations  require the Bank to maintain  minimum  amounts of capital.
Specifically,  each is required to maintain  certain  minimum dollar amounts and
ratios of Total and Tier I capital to  risk-weighted  assets and of Core capital
to average total assets.

In  addition  to  the  capital  requirements,   the  Federal  Deposit  Insurance
Corporation  Improvement  Act  ("FDICIA")  established  five capital  categories
ranging from "well  capitalized"  to "critically  undercapitalized."  Should any
institution  fail  to  meet  the  requirements  to  be  considered   "adequately
capitalized,"  it would become subject to a series of  increasingly  restrictive
regulatory actions.   Management  believes, as of October 31, 2003 and 2002, the
Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.

As of October 31, 2003 and 2002,  the Office of Thrift  Supervision  categorized
the  Bank  as  well  capitalized  under  the  regulatory  framework  for  prompt
corrective action. To be classified as a well capitalized financial institution,
Total risk-based,  Tier 1 risk-based,  Core capital, and Tangible equity capital
ratios must be at least 10.0 percent, 6.0 percent, 5.0 percent, and 1.5 percent,
respectively.  There are no conditions or events, since the  notification,  that
management believes have changed the Bank's category.

The Bank's actual  capital ratios are presented in the following  tables,  which
show that the Bank met all regulatory capital requirements.

The following table  reconciles the Bank's capital under  accounting  principles
generally accepted in the United States of America to regulatory capital.

Financial  instruments are defined as cash, evidence of ownership interest in an
entity, or a contract which creates an obligation or right to receive or deliver
cash or another  financial  instrument  from/to a second  entity on  potentially
favorable or unfavorable terms.

Fair value is defined as the  amount at which a  financial  instrument  could be
exchanged  in a current  transaction  between  willing  parties  other than in a
forced  or  liquidation  sale.  If a  quoted  market  price is  available  for a
financial  instrument,  the estimated fair value would be calculated  based upon
the market price per trading unit of the instrument.

If no readily  available  market exists,  the fair value estimates for financial
instruments  should  be  based  upon  management's  judgment  regarding  current
economic  conditions,  interest rate risk, expected cash flows, future estimated
losses,  and other factors as determined through various option pricing formulas
or simulation modeling.  As many of these assumptions result from judgments made
by management based upon estimates which are inherently uncertain, the resulting
estimated fair values may not be indicative of the amount realizable in the sale
of a particular  financial  instrument.  In addition,  changes in assumptions on
which the estimated  fair values are based may have a significant  impact on the
resulting estimated fair values.

As certain assets such as deferred tax assets and premises and equipment are not
considered  financial  instruments,   the  estimated  fair  value  of  financial
instruments would not represent the full value of the Bank.

The Bank employed simulation modeling in determining the estimated fair value of
financial  instruments  for which quoted market prices were not available  based
upon the following assumptions:

Cash and Cash Equivalents,  Accrued Interest Receivable,  Federal Home Loan Bank
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stock, and Accrued Interest Payable
- -----------------------------------

The fair value is equal to the current carrying value.

Investment Securities Available for Sale
- ----------------------------------------

The  fair  value of  investment  securities  available  for sale is equal to the
available  quoted  market price.  If no quoted  market price is available,  fair
value is estimated using the quoted market price for similar securities.

12.     FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURE (Continued)

Loans  Receivable,  Certificates  of  Deposit in other  Financial  Institutions,
Deposits, and Federal Home Loan Bank Borrowings

The fair value for loans is estimated by discounting  contractual cash flows and
adjusting  for  prepayment  estimates.  Discount  rates  are  based  upon  rates
generally charged for such loans with similar characteristics.  Demand, savings,
and money market deposit  accounts are valued at the amount payable on demand as
of  year-end.  Fair  values  for  certificates  of  deposit  in other  financial
institutions, time deposits, and Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings are estimated
using  a  discounted  cash  flow  calculation  that  applies  contractual  costs
currently being offered in the existing  portfolio to current market rates being
offered for products of similar remaining maturities.

Commitments to Extend Credit
- ----------------------------

These  financial  instruments  are generally not subject to sale,  and estimated
fair values are not readily  available.  The carrying value,  represented by the
net deferred fee arising from the unrecognized  commitment,  and the fair value,
determined by  discounting  the remaining  contractual  fee over the term of the
commitment  using fees currently  charged to enter into similar  agreements with
similar credit risk, are not considered material for disclosure. The contractual
amounts of unfunded commitments are presented in Note 9.

14.      PLAN OF CONVERSION

On January 15, 2004,  the Board of Directors of the Bank,  subject to regulatory
approval, ratified a Plan of Conversion (the "Plan") to convert from a federally
chartered  mutual savings  institituion  to a federally  chartered stock savings
institution.  The Bank will become a  wholly-owned  subsidiary of a concurrently
formed holding  company.  The plan provides that the holding  company will offer
nontransferable  subscription  rights to  purchase  common  stock of the holding
company.  The rights will be offered  first to  eligible  account  holders,  the
tax-qualified  employee  stock  benefit  plans,  and other  members.  Any shares
remaining may then be offered to the general public.

The Plan provides for the establishment, upon completion of the conversion, of a
special  "liquidation  account" in an amount equal to the Bank's net worth as of
the latest  practicable  date prior to the  conversion.  This account is for the
benefit of eligible  account  holders  in the event of  liquidation of the Bank.
The interest as to each deposit  account will be in the same  proportion  of the
total  liquidation  account  as  the  balance  of  the  deposit  account  on the
qualifying dates was to the aggregate balance of all deposit account of eligible
account  ^holders on the  qualifying  dates.  The  liquidation  account  will be
reduced in a  proportionate  amount if the amount in any deposit  account on any
annual closing date is less that it was on the respective  qualifying dates. The
liquidation  account  will not be  increased  despite any  increase in a deposit
account after the respective qualifying dates.

The  regulations  of the OTS prohibit  the Bank from  declaring or paying a cash
dividend if the effect thereof would cause the Bank's  regulatory  capital to be
reduced  below  either the amount  required for the  liquidation  account or the
federal  regulatory  capital  requirement  in  section  567.2 of the  Rules  and
Regulations of the OTS.

Costs  associated  with the  conversion  will be deferred and deducted  from the
proceeds  of the  stock  offering.  If,  for any  reason,  the  offering  is not
successful,  the deferred costs will be charged to operations. As of October 31,
2003, there were no costs associated with the conversion.
