                   ESB FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1.       BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         ESB Financial Corporation (the Company) is a thrift holding company.
         The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
         Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary savings bank, ESB Bank, F.S.B.
         (ESB or the Bank), and other subsidiaries, PennFirst Financial
         Services, Inc., PennFirst Capital Trust I, THF, Inc., ESB Financial
         Services and AMSCO, Inc.

         The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements for the
         interim periods include all adjustments, consisting only of normal
         recurring accruals, which are necessary, in the opinion of management,
         to fairly reflect the Company's financial position and results of
         operations. Additionally, these consolidated financial statements for
         the interim periods have been prepared in accordance with instructions
         for the Securities and Exchange Commission's Form 10-Q and therefore do
         not include all information or footnotes necessary for a complete
         presentation of financial condition, results of operations and cash
         flows in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. For
         further information, refer to the audited consolidated financial
         statements and footnotes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2000,
         as contained in the 2000 Annual Report to Stockholders.

         The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September
         30, 2001 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
         expected for the entire year. Certain amounts previously reported have
         been reclassified to conform with the current periods reporting format.

2.       ACQUISITION AND MERGER

         On October 1, 2001 the Company announced the completion of the
         acquisition of WSB Holding Company (WSB) and its subsidiary,
         Workingmens Bank, headquartered on the North Shore of Pittsburgh. The
         acquisition was effected by means of the merger of WSB with and into
         the Company (Merger). Upon consummation of the Merger, each share of
         common stock, $0.10 par value per share, of WSB outstanding immediately
         prior thereto was converted into the right to receive, at the election
         of the holder thereof, $17.10 in cash or 1.414 shares of common stock,
         $0.01 par value per share, of the Company, subject to the condition
         that the aggregate amount of cash consideration paid to WSB
         shareholders constitute 49% of the total consideration paid by the
         Company. Workingmens Bank had two community offices located in
         Allegheny County and at September 30, 2001 had assets totaling $43.7
         million. As a result of the Merger, ESB Bank has approximately $1.3
         billion in consolidated assets, approximately $80.0 million in
         consolidated shareholder equity and will operate 17 community branches
         in the contiguous Pennsylvania counties of Lawrence, Allegheny, Beaver
         and Butler. This acquisition expands ESB's presence in Allegheny County
         to ten community branch locations.

  3.     OPERATING SEGMENTS

         An operating segment is defined as a component of an enterprise that
         engages in business activities that generates revenue and incurs
         expense, and the operating results of which, are reviewed by
         management. ESB's business activities are currently confined to one
         operating segment, which is community banking.

   4.    DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

         In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
         Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133, "Accounting
         for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", which establishes
         accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments,
         including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts,
         and for hedging activities. It requires an entity to recognize all
         derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the statement of
         financial position and measure the instruments at fair value. A
         derivative may be designated as a hedge of the exposure to changes in
         the fair value of a recognized asset or liability or an unrecognized
         commitment, a hedge of the exposure to the variable cash flows of a
         forecasted transaction, or a hedge of the foreign currency exposure of
         a net investment in a

                                       6

         foreign operation, an unrecognized firm commitment, an available-for-
         sale security, or a foreign-currency-dominated forecasted transaction.
         This statement was to be effective for fiscal years beginning on or
         after June 15, 1999. In June 1999, the FASB issued SFAS No. 137,
         "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and FASB Statement No. 133",
         which delayed the effective date of SFAS No. 133 to the first quarter
         of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. The Company adopted this
         statement during the first quarter of 2001 with no material effect on
         the Company's financial position or results of operations.

5.       BUSINESS COMBINATIONS, GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

         On June 29, 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 "Business Combinations"
         and No. 142 "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets". Under the new
         requirements, goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets will no
         longer be amortized but will be subject to annual impairment tests.
         Goodwill is required to be tested for impairment between annual tests
         if an event occurs or circumstances change that more-likely-than-not
         reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value. An
         indefinite lived intangible asset is required to be tested for
         impairment between the annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances
         change indicating that the asset might be impaired. The new
         amortization provisions apply to goodwill and intangible assets
         acquired after June 30, 2001. Because of the different transition dates
         for goodwill and intangible assets acquired on or before June 30, 2001
         and those acquired after that date, pre-existing goodwill and
         intangibles will be amortized during the transition period until
         adoption, whereas new goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets
         acquired after June 30, 2001 will not. The Company is required to adopt
         Statements 141 and 142 in the first quarter of 2002. Management is in
         the process of reviewing existing goodwill to determine the effect of
         the statements on the Company's financial position or results of
         operations.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
         OF OPERATIONS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION

GENERAL. The Company's total assets increased by $19.4 million or 1.6% to $1.2
billion at September 30, 2001 from $1.2 billion at December 31, 2000. This net
increase was primarily the result of increases to cash and cash equivalents,
securities, net loans receivable, FHLB stock, premises and equipment and bank
owned life insurance (BOLI) of $326,000, $3.2 million, $11.9 million, $3.0
million, $140,000 and $4.3 million, respectively. Partially offsetting these
increases were decreases in accrued interest receivable, net real estate
acquired through foreclosure and prepaid expenses and other assets of $413,000,
$259,000 and $2.8 million, respectively. The increase in total assets reflects a
corresponding increase in total liabilities of $7.3 million or 0.6% and an
increase in stockholders' equity of $12.2 million or 17.9%. The increase in
total liabilities was the result of increases in deposits and accrued expenses
and other liabilities of $16.2 million and $2.6 million, respectively. Partially
offsetting this increase were decreases in borrowed funds and reverse repurchase
agreements and advance payments by borrowers for taxes and insurance of $9.3
million and $2.3 million, respectively. The increase in stockholders' equity was
the result of increases in retained earnings and accumulated other comprehensive
income of $3.2 million and $9.3 million, respectively, and decreases in treasury
stock and unearned ESOP shares of $17.8 million and $399,000, respectively,
partially offset by a decrease in additional paid in capital of $18.5 million.

CASH ON HAND, INTEREST-EARNING DEPOSITS AND FEDERAL FUNDS SOLD. Cash on hand,
interest-earning deposits and federal funds sold represent cash equivalents and
increased a combined $326,000 or 2.5% to $13.7 million at September 30, 2001
from $13.3 million at December 31, 2000.

SECURITIES. The Company's securities portfolio increased by $3.2 million or 0.5%
to $608.6 million at September 30, 2001 from $605.4 million at December 31,
2000. During the nine months ended September 30, 2001, the Company recorded
purchases of available for sale securities of $146.1 million, consisting of
purchases of mortgage-backed securities of $84.3 million, corporate bonds of
$49.1 million, municipal bonds of $12.5 million and equity securities of
$244,000. Offsetting the purchases of securities were sales of available for
sale securities of $64.0 million, consisting of sales of municipal bonds of $8.4
million, corporate bonds of $10.0 million, mortgage-backed securities of $32.3
million, agency bonds of $13.0 million and equity securities of $233,000, and
repayments and maturities of securities of $93.4 million, during the nine months
ended September 30, 2001.

LOANS RECEIVABLE. Net loans receivable increased $11.9 million or 2.3% to $524.1
million at September 30, 2001 from $512.2 million at December 31, 2000. Included
in this increase were increases in mortgage loans of $11.6 million or 2.5% and a
nominal increase in other loans of $24,000 and a decrease in deferred loan fees
and loans in process of $4,000 and $336,000, respectively. The increases were
partially offset by increases in the allowance for loan losses of $27,000 during
the nine months ended September 30, 2001.

NON-PERFORMING ASSETS. Non-performing assets include non-accrual loans and real
estate acquired through foreclosure. Non-performing assets amounted to $3.6
million or 0.30% and $4.4 million or 0.43% of total assets at September 30, 2001
and December 31, 2000, respectively.

DEPOSITS. Total deposits increased $16.2 million or 3.2% to $525.1 million at
September 30, 2001 from $508.9 million at December 31, 2000. Noninterest bearing
deposits, interest bearing deposits and time deposits increased $3.0 million,
$3.6 million and $9.6 million, respectively, during the nine months ended
September 30, 2001.

BORROWED FUNDS AND REVERSE REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. Borrowed funds and reverse
repurchase agreements decreased a combined $9.3 million or 1.5% to $603.0
million at September 30, 2001 from $612.2 million at December 31, 2000. FHLB
advances increased $52.3 million or 13.2%, while reverse repurchase agreements
decreased $61.6 million or 32.2%.

STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY. Stockholders' equity increased $12.2 million or 17.9% to
$80.5 million at September 30, 2001 from $68.3 million at December 31, 2000. The
increase was primarily the result of increases to retained earnings and other
comprehensive income of $3.2 million and $9.3 million, respectively, and
decreases to treasury stock and unearned ESOP shares of $17.8 million and
$399,000, respectively, partially offset by a decrease to additional paid in
capital of $18.5 million. The decrease to additional paid in capital and the
corresponding



                                       12


decrease to treasury stock were the results of the issuance of shares of common
stock from treasury stock for the Company's six-for-five stock split in the
second quarter of 2001.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL. The Company recorded net income, inclusive of an extraordinary charge
for the early prepayment of long-term debt of $483,000, net of tax, of $1.9
million and $5.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001,
respectively, as compared to net income of $1.6 million and $5.2 million,
respectively, for the same periods in the prior year.

For the three months ended September 30, 2001, net income increased $230,000 or
14.1%. The increase can be attributable to increases in net interest income and
non interest income and a decrease in the provision for loan losses of $27,000,
$1.1 million and $6,000, respectively, partially offset by an increase in
noninterest expense and provision for income taxes of $16,000 and $361,000,
respectively, and an extraordinary item, net of tax, of $483,000.

The $220,000 or 4.2% increase in net income for the nine months ended September
30, 2001, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2000, was
attributable to increases in net interest income and non interest income of
$322,000 and $1.2 million, respectively. Partially offsetting these increases
were increases in noninterest expense, provision for loan losses, provision for
income taxes and an extraordinary item, net of tax of $439,000, $358,000,
$34,000 and $483,000, respectively.

NET INTEREST INCOME. Net interest income increased $27,000 or 0.6% to $4.8
million for the three months ended September 30, 2001, compared to $4.8 million
for the same period in the prior year. This increase in net interest income can
be attributed to a decrease in interest expense of $371,000 offset by a decrease
in interest income of $344,000.

Net interest income increased $322,000 or 2.2% to $14.8 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 2001, compared to $14.5 million for the same period
in the prior year. This increase in net interest income can be attributed to an
increase in interest income of $2.4 million offset by an increase in interest
expense of $2.1 million.

INTEREST INCOME. Interest income decreased $344,000 or 1.7% to $19.6 million for
the three months ended September 30, 2001, compared to $19.9 million for the
same period in the prior year. This decrease can be attributed to decreases in
securities and interest-earning deposits of $837,000 and $44,000, respectively,
offset by increases in interest earned on loans receivable and FHLB stock of
$513,000 and $24,000, respectively.

Interest earned on loans receivable increased $513,000 or 5.4% to $10.0 million
for the three months ended September 30, 2001, compared to $9.5 million for the
same period in the prior year. This increase was primarily attributable to an
increase in the average balance of loans outstanding of $36.0 million or 7.3% to
$530.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001, compared to $494.6
million for the same period in the prior year. This increase was offset
partially by a decline in the yield on loans receivable to 7.53% for the three
months ended September 30, 2001, compared to 7.67% for the same period in the
prior year.

Interest earned on securities decreased $837,000 or 8.4% to $9.2 million for the
three months ended September 30, 2001, compared to $10.0 million for the same
period in the prior year. This decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease
in the tax equivalent yield on securities to 6.49% for the three months ended
September 30, 2001 from 7.04% for the same period in the prior year.
Additionally, the average balance of securities held decreased $1.2 million or
0.2% to $602.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001, compared
to $603.8 million for the same period in the prior year.

Interest income increased $2.4 million or 4.2% to $60.3 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 2001, compared to $57.9 million for the same period
in the prior year. This increase can be attributed to increases in interest
earned on loans receivable and FHLB stock of $3.0 million and $52,000,
respectively. Partially offsetting the increases were decreases in interest
earned on securities and interest-earning deposits of $608,000 and $47,000,
respectively.


                                       13


Interest earned on loans receivable increased $3.0 million or 11.1% to $30.2
million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001, compared to $27.2 million
for the same period in the prior year. This increase was primarily attributable
to an increase in the average balance of loans outstanding of $57.0 million or
12.1% to $526.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001, compared
to $469.8 million for the same period in the prior year. Partially offsetting
this increase in average balance was a decrease in the yield on loans receivable
to 7.64% for the nine months ended September 30, 2001, compared to 7.71% for the
same period in the prior year.

Interest earned on securities decreased $608,000 or 2.1% to $28.8 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 2001, compared to $29.4 million for the same
period in the prior year. This decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease
in the tax equivalent yield on securities to 6.79% for the nine months ended
September 30, 2001 from 6.94% for the same period in the prior year. Partially
offsetting the decline in the tax equivalent yield was an increase in the
average balance of securities of $1.2 million or 0.2% to $602.2 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 2001, compared to $600.9 million for the same
period in the prior year.

INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense decreased $371,000 or 2.5% to $14.8 million
for the three months ended September 30, 2001, compared to $15.1 million for the
same period in the prior year. This decrease in interest expense can be
attributed to decreases in interest incurred on deposits and borrowed funds and
reverse repurchase agreements combined of $210,000 and $161,000, respectively.

Interest incurred on deposits decreased $210,000 or 3.7% to $5.5 million for the
three months ended September 30, 2001, compared to $5.7 million for the same
period in the prior year. This decrease was primarily attributable to a decline
in the cost of interest-bearing deposits to 4.22% from 4.58% for the quarters
ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. This decrease was partially
offset by an increase in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits of
$21.0 million or 4.2% to $515.2 million for the three months ended September 30,
2001, compared to $494.2 million for the same period in the prior year.

Interest incurred on borrowed funds and reverse repurchase agreements, combined
decreased $161,000 or 1.8% to $8.7 million for the three months ended September
30, 2001, compared to $8.9 million for the same period in the prior year. This
decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in the cost of these funds to
6.00% from 6.36% for the quarters ended September 30, 2001 and 2000,
respectively. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in the average
balance of borrowed funds and reverse repurchase agreements combined of $16.8
million or 3.7% to $577.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001,
compared to $560.7 million for the same period in the prior year.

Interest expense increased $2.1 million or 4.8% to $45.4 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 2001, compared to $43.4 million for the same period
in the prior year. This increase in interest expense can be attributed to
increases in interest incurred on deposits and borrowed funds and reverse
repurchase agreements of $1.2 million and $927,000, respectively.

Interest incurred on deposits increased $1.2 million or 7.2% to $17.1 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 2001, compared to $16.0 million for the
same period in the prior year. This increase was primarily attributable to an
increase in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits of $31.0 million or
6.5% to $511.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001, compared to
$480.4 million for the same period in the prior year. The cost of
interest-bearing deposits slightly increased between the periods to 4.47% from
4.44%.

Interest incurred on borrowed funds and reverse repurchase agreements combined
increased $927,000 or 3.6% to $26.7 million for the nine months ended September
30, 2001, compared to $25.7 million for the same period in the prior year. This
increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the average balance of
borrowed funds and reverse repurchase agreements of $27.8 million or 5.1% to
$577.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001, compared to $549.5
million for the same period in the prior year. Partially offsetting this
increase was a decrease to the cost of these funds to 6.19% for the nine months
ended September 30, 2001, compared to 6.26% for the same period in the prior
year.

PROVISION FOR (RECOVERY OF) LOAN LOSSES. The provision for loan losses decreased
$6,000 to $5,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2001, compared to
$11,000 for the same period in the prior year. The provision for loan losses
increased $358,000 to $44,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001
compared to a recovery


                                       14


of loan losses of $314,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000.
The $314,000 recovery for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 is
attributable to a $605,000 recovery recorded in January associated with the
Company's Bennett Lease Pools which was received from the bankruptcy trustee,
offset by $153,000, $128,000 and $10,000 provisions recorded for the first,
second and third quarters, respectively. In determining the appropriate level of
allowance for loan losses, management considers historical loss experience, the
financial condition of borrowers, economic conditions (particularly as they
relate to markets where the Company originates loans), the status of
non-performing assets, the estimated underlying value of the collateral and
other factors related to the collectability of the loan portfolio. The Company's
total allowance for losses on loans at September 30, 2001 amounted to $5.0
million or 0.91% of the Company's total loan portfolio, as compared to $5.0
million or .92% at December 31, 2000. The Company's allowance for losses on
loans as a percentage of non-performing loans was 241.1% and 188.9% at September
30, 2001 and December 31, 2000, respectively.

NONINTEREST INCOME. Noninterest income increased $1.1 million or 148.9% to $1.8
million for the three months ended September 30, 2001, compared to $710,000 for
the same period in the prior year. This increase can be attributed to an
increase in fees and service charges, net realized gains on sale of securities,
the cash surrender value of the BOLI and other income of $159,000, $795,000,
$57,000 and $46,000, respectively. Noninterest income increased $1.2 million or
55.7% to $3.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001, compared to
$2.2 million for the same period in the prior year. This increase can be
attributed to increases in fees and service charges, net realized gains on sales
of securities, the cash surrender value of the BOLI and other income of
$280,000, $769,000, $146,000 and $17,000, respectively, between periods.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE. Noninterest expense increased $16,000 or 0.4% to $3.7
million for the three months ended September 30, 2001, from $3.7 million for the
same period in the prior year. This increase was primarily the result of
increases in compensation and employee benefits and premises and equipment
expenses of $150,000 and $34,000, respectively, offset by a decrease in other
expense of $173,000. Noninterest expense increased $439,000 or 4.1% to $11.1
million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001, from $10.7 million for the
same period in the prior year. This increase was primarily the result of
increases in compensation and employee benefits and premises and equipment
expenses of $451,000 and $202,000, respectively, offset by decreases in data
processing and other expenses of $48,000 and $169,000, respectively.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES. The provision for income taxes, before the effect of
the extraordinary item, increased $361,000 to $548,000 for the three months
ended September 30, 2001. This increase was a result of an increase to the
income before extraordinary item between the periods. For the nine months ended
September 30, 2001, the provision for income taxes increased $34,000 to $1.2
million. The increase was a result of an increase to income before extraordinary
item, partially offset by a reduction in the effective tax rate during the nine
month period. The taxes for the three and nine month periods ended September 30,
2001 were further reduced by $249,000 each due to the extraordinary item.

EXTRAORDINARY ITEM. During the three and nine month periods ended September 30,
2001, the Company incurred an extraordinary charge of $483,000, net of tax. This
extraordinary item was the result of penalties incurred in the repayment of
$20.0 million of the Company's long-term debt that occurred during a combined
restructuring of the Company's assets and liabilities. The penalties that were
incurred on the repayment of the long term debt were offset by gains on the
sales of securities that were used in the restructuring. The overall
restructuring resulted in a reduction to the Company's interest expense for the
period and a prospective improvement to future net interest income.

AVERAGE BALANCE SHEET AND YIELD/RATE ANALYSIS. The following tables sets forth,
for periods indicated, information concerning the total dollar amounts of
interest income from interest-earning assets and the resultant average yields,
the total dollar amounts of interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities and
the resultant average costs, net interest income, interest rate spread and the
net interest margin earned on average interest-earning assets. For purposes of
these tables, average balances are calculated using monthly averages and the
average loan balances include non-accrual loans and exclude the allowance for
loan losses, and interest income includes accretion of net deferred loan fees.
Interest and yields on tax-exempt securities (tax-exempt for federal income tax
purposes) are shown on a fully tax equivalent basis utilizing a federal tax rate
of 34%. Yields and rates have been calculated on an annualized basis utilizing
monthly interest amounts.

ANALYSIS OF CHANGES IN NET INTEREST INCOME. The following tables analyze the
changes in interest income and interest expense, between the three and nine
month period ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, in terms of: (1) changes in
volume of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and (2)
changes in yields and rates. The tables reflect the extent to which changes in
the Company's interest income and interest expense are attributable to changes
in rate (change in rate multiplied by prior period volume), changes in volume
(changes in volume multiplied by prior period rate) and changes attributable to
the combined impact of volume/rate (change in rate multiplied by change in
volume). The changes attributable to the combined impact of volume/rate are
allocated on a consistent basis between the volume and rate variances. Changes
in interest income on securities reflects the changes in interest income on a
fully tax equivalent basis.

The table analyzing changes in interest income between the three months ended
September 30, 2001 and 2000 is presented as follows:

ASSET AND LIABILITY MANAGEMENT

The primary objective of the Company's asset and liability management function
is to maximize the Company's net interest income while simultaneously
maintaining an acceptable level of interest rate risk given the Company's
operating environment, capital and liquidity requirements, performance
objectives and overall business focus. The principal determinant of the exposure
of the Company's earnings to interest rate risk is the timing difference between
the repricing or maturity of interest-earning assets and the repricing or
maturity of its interest-bearing liabilities. The Company's asset and liability
management policies are designed to decrease interest rate sensitivity primarily
by shortening the maturities of interest-earning assets while at the same time
extending the maturities of interest-bearing liabilities. The Board of Directors
of the Company continues to believe in strong asset/liability management in
order to insulate the Company from material and prolonged increases in interest
rates. As a result of this policy, the Company emphasizes a larger, more
diversified portfolio of residential mortgage loans in the form of
mortgage-backed securities. Mortgage-backed securities generally increase the
quality of the Company's assets by virtue of the insurance or guarantees that
back them, are more liquid than individual mortgage loans and may be used to
collateralize borrowings or other obligations of the Company.

The Company's Board of Directors has established an Asset and Liability
Management Committee consisting of two outside directors, the President and
Chief Executive Officer, Group Senior Vice President and Chief Financial
Officer, Group Senior Vice President/Operations, Group Senior Vice
President/Lending and Group Senior Vice President/Administration. This
committee, which meets quarterly, generally monitors various asset and liability
management policies and strategies which were implemented by the Company over
the past few years. These strategies have included: (i) an emphasis on the
investment in adjustable-rate and shorter duration mortgage-backed securities;
(ii) an emphasis on the origination of single-family residential adjustable-rate
mortgages (ARMs), residential construction loans and commercial real estate
loans, which generally have adjustable or floating interest rates and/or shorter
maturities than traditional single-family residential loans, and consumer loans,
which generally have shorter terms and higher interest rates than mortgage loans
and (iii) increase the duration of the liability base of the Company by
extending the maturities of savings deposits, borrowed funds and reverse
repurchase agreements.

As of September 30, 2001, the implementation of these asset and liability
initiatives resulted in the following: (i) $224.5 million or 40.1% of the
Company's total loan portfolio had adjustable interest rates or maturities of 12
months or less; (ii) $137.7 million or 37.7% of the Company's portfolio of
single-family residential mortgage loans (including residential construction
loans) consisted of ARMs; (iii) $142.1 million or 35.9% of the Company's
portfolio of mortgage-backed securities were secured by ARMs.

The implementation of the foregoing asset and liability initiatives and
strategies, combined with other external factors such as demand for the
Company's products and economic and interest rate environments in general, has
resulted in the Company being able to maintain a one-year interest rate
sensitivity gap ranging between a positive 5.0% of total assets to a negative
15.0% of total assets. The one-year interest rate sensitivity gap is defined as
the difference between the Company's interest-earning assets which are scheduled
to mature or reprice within one year and its interest-bearing liabilities which
are scheduled to mature or reprice within one year. At September 30, 2001, the
Company's interest-earning assets maturing or repricing within one year totaled
$475.3 million while the Company's interest-bearing liabilities maturing or
repricing within one-year totaled $482.6 million, providing a deficiency of
interest-earning assets over interest-bearing liabilities of $7.3 million or a
negative 0.6% of total assets. At September 30, 2001, the percentage of the
Company's assets to liabilities maturing or repricing within one year was 98.5%.
The Company does not presently anticipate that its one-year interest rate
sensitivity gap will fluctuate beyond a range of a positive 5.0% of total assets
to a negative 15.0% of total assets.

The one year interest rate sensitivity gap has been the most common industry
standard used to measure an institution's interest rate risk position. The
Company also utilizes income simulation modeling in measuring its interest rate
risk and managing its interest rate sensitivity. The Asset and Liability
Management Committee of the Company believes that simulation modeling enables
the Company to more accurately evaluate and manage the


                                       19


possible effects on net interest income due to the exposure to changing
market interest rates, the slope of the yield curve and different prepayment and
decay assumptions under various interest rate scenarios. At September 30, 2001,
the Company's simulation model indicated that the Company's statement of
financial condition is liability sensitive. As such, in a 300 basis point
gradually rising rate environment over 24 months, with minor changes in the
statement of condition and limited reinvestment changes, net interest income is
projected to decrease by approximately 1.6% over such 24 month period.

LIQUIDITY

The Company's primary sources of funds generally have been deposits obtained
through the offices of the Bank, borrowings from the FHLB, reverse repurchase
agreement borrowings and amortization and prepayments of outstanding loans and
maturing investment securities. During the nine months ended September 30, 2001,
the Company used its sources of funds primarily for the funding of loan
commitments, and to a lesser extent, to purchase securities. As of such date,
the Company had outstanding loan commitments totaling $18.0 million, unused
lines of credit totaling $39.3 million and $21.2 million of undisbursed loans in
process.

At September 30, 2001, certificates of deposit amounted to $329.6 million or
62.8% of the Company's total consolidated deposits, including $223.4 million,
which were scheduled to mature by September 30, 2002. At the same date, the
total amount of borrowed funds which were scheduled to mature by September 30,
2002 was $237.5 million. Management of the Company believes that it has adequate
resources to fund all of its commitments, that all of its commitments will be
funded by September 30, 2002 and that, based upon past experience and current
pricing policies, it can adjust the rates of savings certificates to retain a
substantial portion of its maturing certificates and also, to the extent deemed
necessary, refinance the maturing FHLB advances and reverse repurchase
agreements.

REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

Current regulatory requirements specify that the Bank and similar institutions
must maintain tangible capital equal to 1.5% of adjusted total assets, core
capital equal to 4% of adjusted total assets and risk-based capital equal to 8%
of risk-weighted assets. The OTS may require higher core capital ratios if
warranted, and institutions are to maintain capital levels consistent with their
risk exposures. Both the FDIC and the OTS reserve the right to apply this higher
standard to any insured financial institution when considering an institution's
capital adequacy. At September 30, 2001, the Bank was in compliance with all
regulatory capital requirements with tangible, core and risk-based capital
ratios of 6.6%, 6.6% and 13.4%, respectively.

Litigation Reform Act of 1995). These forward-looking statements may involve
significant risks and uncertainties. Although the Company believes that the
expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, actual
results may differ materially from the results in these forward-looking
statements.
