The common stock issued in connection with the Association's conversion will simultaneously be acquired by a holding company, Adirondack Financial Services Bancorp (the "Holding Company"). Pursuant to the Plan of Conversion, the common stock is first being offered in the Subscription Offering with nontransferable subscription rights being granted to Eligible Account Holders, Tax Qualified Employee Plans, Supplemental Eligible Account Holders, Other Members and employees officers and directors. To the extent shares remain available for purchase after filling all orders received in the Subscription Offering, the Common Stock will be offered in a Public Offering. This Appraisal is furnished pursuant to the conversion regulations promulgated by the Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS"). This Appraisal has been prepared in accordance with the written valuation guidelines promulgated by the OTS, most recently updated as of October 21, 1994. Specifically, this Appraisal has been prepared in accordance with the "Guidelines for Appraisal Reports for the Valuation of Savings and Loan Associations Converting from Mutual to Stock Form of Organization" of the OTS, as successor to the Federal Home Loan Bank Board ("FHLBB"), dated as of October 21, 1994; and applicable regulatory interpretations thereof. Description of Reorganization - ----------------------------- The Board of Directors of the Association has adopted a Plan of Conversion pursuant to which the Association will convert from a federally chartered mutual savings and loan association to a federally chartered stock savings and loan association and issue all of its outstanding shares to the Holding Company. The Holding Company will sell in the Subscription Offering and, if necessary, in the Public Offering, Holding Company stock in the amount equal to the appraised value of the Association. Immediately following the conversion, the only significant assets of the Holding Company will be the capital stock of the Association and the net conversion proceeds remaining after purchase of the Association's common stock by the Holding Company. The Holding Company will use 50 percent of the net conversion proceeds to purchase the Association's common stock. A portion of the remaining 50 percent of the net conversion proceeds will be used to fund a loan to the ESOP with the remainder to be used as general working capital.

Board of Directors December 12, 1997 Page 2 background and experience of RP Financial is detailed in Exhibit V-1. We believe that, except for the fee we will receive for our appraisal and assisting the Association in the preparation of its business plan, we are independent of the Association and the other parties engaged by the Association to assist in the stock conversion process. Valuation Methodology - --------------------- In preparing our appraisal, we have reviewed Gloversville Federal's application for Approval of Conversion, including the Proxy Statement, as filed with the OTS, and the Holding Company's Form S-1 registration statement as filed with the Securities Exchange Commission. We have conducted a financial analysis of the Association that has included due diligence related discussions with the Association's management; KPMG Peat Marwick, the Association's independent auditor; Silver, Freedman & Taff, LLP, the Association's conversion counsel; and Capital Resources, Inc., which has been retained by the Association as a financial and marketing advisor in connection with the Holding Company's stock offering. All conclusions set forth in the appraisal were reached independently from such discussions. In addition, where appropriate, we have considered information based on other available published sources that we believe are reliable. While we believe the information and data gathered from all these sources are reliable, we cannot guarantee the accuracy and completeness of such information. We have investigated the competitive environment within which the Association operates and have assessed the Association's relative strengths and weaknesses. We have kept abreast of the changing regulatory and legislative environment and analyzed the potential impact on the Association and the industry as a whole. We have analyzed the potential effects of conversion on the Association's operating characteristics and financial performance as they relate to the pro forma market value of Gloversville Federal. We have reviewed the economy in the Association's primary market area and have compared the Association's financial performance and condition with selected publicly-traded thrift institutions with similar characteristics as the Association's, as well as all publicly-traded thrifts. We have reviewed conditions in the securities markets in general and in the market for thrift stocks in particular, including the market for existing thrift issues and the market for initial public offerings by thrifts. Our appraisal is based on the Association's representation that the information contained in the regulatory applications and additional information furnished to us by the Association and its independent auditors are truthful, accurate and complete. We did not independently verify the financial statements and other information provided by the Association and its independent auditors, nor did we independently value the assets or liabilities of the Association. The valuation considers the Association only as a going concern and should not be considered as an indication of the liquidation value of Gloversville Federal. Our appraised value is predicated on a continuation of the current operating environment for the Association and for all thrifts. Changes in the local and national economy, the legislative and regulatory environment, the stock market, interest rates, and other external forces (such as natural disasters or significant world events) may occur from time to time, often with great unpredictability and may materially impact the value of thrift stocks as a whole or the Association's value alone. It is our understanding that Gloversville Federal intends to remain an independent institution and there are no current plans for selling control of the Association as a converted institution. To the extent that such factors can be foreseen, they have been factored into our analysis. Pro forma market value is defined as the price at which Gloversville Federal's stock, immediately upon completion of the conversion offering, would change hands between a willing buyer and a willing seller, neither being under any compulsion to buy or sell and both having reasonable knowledge of relevant facts. RP Financial, LC. Board of Directors December 12, 1997 Page 3 Valuation Conclusion - -------------------- It is our opinion that, as of December 12, 1997, the aggregate pro forma market value of the shares to be issued was $5,000,000 at the midpoint, equal to 500,000 shares offered at a per share value of $10.00. Pursuant to the conversion guidelines, the 15 percent offering range indicates a minimum value of $4,250,000 and a maximum value of $5,750,000. Based on the $10.00 per share offering price, this valuation range equates to an offering of 425,000 shares at the minimum to 575,000 shares at the maximum. In the event that the Association's appraised value is subject to an increase, up to 661,250 shares may be sold at an issue price of $10.00 per share, for an aggregate market value of $6,612,500, without a resolicitation. Limiting Factors and Considerations - ----------------------------------- Our valuation is not intended, and must not be construed, as a recommendation of any kind as to the advisability of purchasing shares of the common stock. Moreover, because such valuation is necessarily based upon estimates and projections of a number of matters, all of which are subject to change from time to time, no assurance can be given that persons who purchase shares of common stock in the conversion will thereafter be able to buy or sell such shares at prices related to the foregoing valuation of the pro forma market value thereof. RP Financial's valuation was determined based on the financial condition and operations of the Association as of September 30, 1997, the date of the financial data included in the Holding Company's prospectus. RP Financial is not a seller of securities within the meaning of any federal and state securities laws and any report prepared by RP Financial shall not be used as an offer or solicitation with respect to the purchase or sale of any securities. RP Financial maintains a policy which prohibits the company, its principals or employees from purchasing stock of its client institutions. The valuation will be updated as provided for in the conversion regulations and guidelines. These updates will consider, among other things, any developments or changes in the Association's financial performance and condition, management policies, and current conditions in the equity markets for thrift shares. These updates may also consider changes in other external factors which impact value including, but not limited to: various changes in the legislative and regulatory environment, the stock market and the market for thrift stocks, and interest rates. Should any such new developments or changes be material, in our opinion, to the valuation of the shares, appropriate adjustments to the estimated pro forma market value will be made. The reasons for any such adjustments will be explained in the update at the date of the release of the update. Respectfully submitted, RP FINANCIAL, LC. /s/ William E. Pommerening William E.

Page 1.1 I. OVERVIEW AND FINANCIAL ANALYSIS Introduction - ------------ Gloversville Federal Savings and Loan Association ("Gloversville Federal" or the "Association") is a federally-chartered mutual savings and loan association headquartered in Gloversville, New York. Gloversville Federal conducts operations out of a headquarters office in Gloversville, Fulton County, New York and a branch office in Saratoga Springs, Saratoga County, New York. The Association's markets in east-central New York are relatively rural in character but at the same time, are within a relatively short distance of the Albany/Schenectady markets (particularly the Saratoga Springs office). The Association was established in 1923 as a federally-chartered institution and has served Fulton County since that time; the Saratoga branch office was established in the 1960s. The Association's deposits are insured up to the regulatory maximums by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") under the Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF"). At September 30, 1997, Gloversville Federal maintained $61.0ymillion in total assets, $56.1 million in deposits and retained earnings of $3.3 million, or 5.4 percent of total assets. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 1997, the Association recorded a net loss of $583,000, equal to 0.94 percent of average assets. Adirondack Financial Services Bancorp ("AFSB" or the "Holding Company"), was recently organized to facilitate the conversion of Gloversville Federal. In the course of the conversion, the Holding Company will acquire all of the capital stock that the Association will issue upon its conversion from the mutual-to-stock form of ownership. Going forward, AFSB will own 100ypercent of the Association's stock, and the Association will be AFSB's sole subsidiary. Up to 50ypercent of the net proceeds received from the sale of common stock will be used to purchase all of the then to-be-issued and outstanding capital stock of the Association, with the balance of the proceeds being retained by the Holding Company. At this time, no other activities are contemplated for AFSB other than the ownership of the Association, a loan to the employee stock ownership plan ("ESOP"), the possible payment of dividends and investment of the cash retained at the Holding Company in investment securities consistent with the Association's current investment practices and procedures. In the future, AFSB may repurchase shares, diversify its business possibly through existing or newly-formed subsidiaries, and expand through branching or possibly acquisition of other financial institutions. There are currently no arrangements, understandings or agreements regarding any such activities. Strategic Discussion - --------------------- Gloversville Federal is a community-oriented savings institution, with a primary strategic objective of meeting the borrowing and savings needs of its local customer base. Throughout its history, Gloversville Federal RP Financial, LC. Page 1.2 has pursued a traditional thrift operating strategy and, thus, one-to-four family permanent mortgage lending has been the focus of the Association's lending activities. To a lesser extent, Gloversville Federal originates commercial and multi-family mortgage loans as well as modest amounts of consumer and commercial business loans. Investment securities have typically comprised the balance of interest-earning assets, which served to address Gloversville Federal's liquidity requirements and to earn a yield on excess investable funds. Throughout the 1980s and through the mid-1990s, the Association offered a limited array of products and services. In this regard, the Association has primarily been a residential mortgage lender with its principal product consisting of 15 and 30 year fixed rate loans. All loans have been originated for portfolio. In terms of funding operations, the Association's principal products were certificates of deposit ("CDs") and passbook accounts. The Association experienced limited growth during the 1980s and into the early 1990s as marketing efforts were modest and as loan demand and deposit growth were weak (partially attributable to weak economic conditions locally). As referenced above, a factor leading to the low growth of the Association since the early 1990s are the economic conditions prevailing in Gloversville Federal's market. Specifically, the Association's markets were hard hit by recessionary economic conditions prevailing in the early 1990s, as unemployment levels increased and market conditions, particularly in the real estate markets, deteriorated. Weakness in the local economy has resulted in declining real estate prices and an increased level of delinquencies for the Association. In addition to weak conditions in the local real estate markets, new management attributes the past increase in the level of non-performing assets ("NPAs") of the Association to weak underwriting and collections by prior management. Gloversville Federal's current Executive Vice President was employed by the Association in late 1993 and the Association's current President was employed in late 1994. New management has undertaken a number of strategies in order to achieve the following broad objectives: (1) increase the Association's competitiveness and ability to grow; (2) implement strategies to enhance the Association's earnings; (3) reduce the level of NPAs through improved loan underwriting and collections; and (4) draft and implement policies and procedures with the objective of reducing the Association's risk exposure and improving operating efficiency. In particular, new management reconciled the general ledger and established appropriate controls over the general ledger system. Additionally, management revamped the Association's policies and procedures with the objective of reducing Gloversville Federal's risk exposure. At the same time, management commenced a thorough review of problem assets and employed an asset review manager in early 1995 to facilitate its efforts in this regard. RP Financial, LC. Page 1.3 Management's loan portfolio review coupled with the impact of the tightened asset classification and non-accrual policy resulted in an increase in the Association's non-performing loans. In this regard, management discovered that loan due dates had been advanced in contravention of the Association's policies and procedures. Additionally, the Association did not require escrows for taxes and insurance to be withheld on residential loans made prior to 1995, and found that a high number of its borrowers were delinquent with respect to taxes and insurance. Last, the Association's residential loan documents provided for a 30 day grace period (i.e., late charges were not assessed until the loan is 30 days or more past due) on loans made prior to 1995, which skewed the Association's 30 day delinquency ratio upward significantly. In order to protect the Association's collateral interest in loans which were delinquent with respect to taxes and insurance, the Association modified or restructured the underlying loans in 1996. Currently, such loans total approximately $2.7 million and are on non-accrual status consistent with the Association's revised policies and procedures. Since these loans have been consistent with market terms and conditions, they will be returned to accruing status in 1998 if they perform in accordance with the revised terms. Importantly, total non-performing assets ("NPAs") equaled $4.1 million, equal to 6.73 percent of assets as of September 30, 1997, and continue to represent a significant risk factor in Gloversville Federal's operations. Management has significantly bolstered the Association's loan loss allowance, consistent with its policies and procedures, in recognition of the risk posed by the high level of NPAs. Residential loan origination activity has diminished in the last several years relative to fiscal 1994 levels, as new management sought to draft and implement new policies and procedures and work out of asset quality problems. At the same time, new management has actively pursued commercial and multi-family mortgage lending locally with the objective of increasing the Association's yields and reducing interest rate risk exposure (most commercial and multi-family mortgage loans are adjustable rate or shorter term balloon loans). The Association employed a commercial loan officer in 1995 who was previously employed by another local financial institution -- the commercial and multi-family mortgage portfolio has increased from a near zero balance under prior management to $8.0 million or 15.5 percent of total loans as of September 30, 1997. On the liability side of the balance sheet, Gloversville Federal funds operations primarily with deposits and, to a much lesser extent, borrowed funds. Deposit levels actually reflect a decrease from the levels prevailing in fiscal 1994 as the Association has directed most of management's time and resources toward resolving asset quality problems. At the same time, new management has revamped the Association's deposit products to introduce statement savings, money market account with limited check writing privileges, and commercial demand deposit accounts, which it believes are required to meet the higher growth objectives established for the future. RP Financial, LC. Page 1.4 The Association's strategy for the future is to continue to focus on the reduction of NPAs, and to resume asset growth, both in the area of residential mortgage lending and commercial/multi-family mortgage lending. The Association will continue to fund operations primarily through retail deposits but believes that its higher future growth objectives may require it to utilize borrowing to a greater degree than it has in the past. Additionally, management has indicated that it intends to focus its future business development efforts on the Saratoga Springs market where it maintains a branch office, based on this area's comparatively favorable growth trends and income levels. In this regard, management has indicated that it is currently evaluating the possibility of moving its current branch office to a more favorable location and establishing an additional branch office at another location in Saratoga County. A firm decision regarding the Association's Saratoga branching strategy has not been made and growth and cost estimates are currently being developed. The Board of Directors of the Association has elected to convert to the stock form of ownership to improve earnings and bolster capital. The additional capital realized from conversion proceeds is expected to increase liquidity to support loan growth, increase the capital cushion to absorb unanticipated loss, enhance overall profitability and provide the capital for additional growth through existing branches or possibly a new branch in Saratoga County. The additional funds realized from the conversion stock offering will also serve as an alternative funding source to facilitate the Association's ability to offer competitive rates. The projected use of conversion proceeds are highlighted below. Adirondack Financial Services Bancorp. AFSB is expected to retain up to 50 percent of the net conversion proceeds. At present, the Holding Company funds, net of the loan to the ESOP, are expected to be invested initially into short- and intermediate-term investment securities with maturities ranging up to two years. Over time, the Holding Company funds are anticipated to be utilized for various corporate purposes, possibly including acquisitions, infusing additional equity into the Association, repurchases of common stock, and the payment of regular and/or special cash dividends. Gloversville Federal. At least 50 percent of the net conversion proceeds will be infused into the Association in exchange for all of the Association's newly issued stock. The increase in capital will be less, as the amount to be borrowed by the ESOP to fund an 8 percent stock purchase will be deducted from capital. Cash proceeds (i.e., net proceeds less deposits withdrawn to fund stock purchases) infused into the Association are anticipated to become part of general operating funds, and are expected to initially be invested in short-term investments, used to repay short-term borrowings and/or to fund loan growth. Balance Sheet Trends - -------------------- From the end of fiscal 1993 to 1997, the gross amount of Gloversville Federal's total assets exhibited limited change, and equaled $61.0 million as of September 30, 1997 (see Table 1.1 for details). The Association's limited growth trends were evidenced in most key balance sheet aggregates as the level of loans, cash and investments, and deposits have remained relatively static over the last three fiscal years.

RP Financial, LC. Page 1.6 the Strategic Discussion, Gloversville Federal has basically been in a no growth mode since 1994, primarily as a result of efforts by new management to focus on the resolution of asset quality problems and due to relatively weak economic conditions prevailing in the Association's Fulton County market where the largest portion of the Association's loan and deposit customers reside. The largest component of Gloversville Federal's assets consists of loans receivable, which equaled $49.5 million, or 81.1 percent of assets as of September 30, 1997. The Association's loan portfolio increased between 1993 and the beginning of fiscal 1995 under prior management. Subsequently, the loan portfolio balance has remained relatively stable as the residential mortgage loan balance has declined, with the reduction offset by increases to the commercial and multi-family mortgage loan portfolio. The impact of the Association's current emphasis on higher risk weight lending is evidenced by data which shows commercial and multi-family mortgage loans have increased from a zero balance as of the end of fiscal 1993 to 15.5 percent of total loans currently. As discussed earlier, the Association's residential mortgage loan portfolio is primarily comprised of long term fixed rate mortgage loans (i.e., 15 and 30 year fixed rate loans) as adjustable loans were not offered until several years ago and consumer demand for such loans has been very limited to date. Cash and interest-earning deposits, investment securities, and federal funds sold have typically comprised the balance of interest-earning assets. Under prior management, Gloversville Federal's investment policies were very conservative being primarily focused on providing the Association with liquidity and earning a yield on excess investable funds. Accordingly, Gloversville Federal's investment portfolio has typically been heavily weighted toward federal funds and interest-earning deposits. With the employment of the new management team, a new more aggressive posture with respect to the management of the portfolio has been implemented. Over the long term, management has indicated that it will be seeking to limit the level of cash and investments and that, in the interim, the investment portfolio will be managed to enhance earnings without incurring undue credit or interest rate risk. Accordingly, investment in short term deposits has been substantially deemphasized and the majority of the investment portfolio has been invested in U.S. Treasury and agency securities with laddered maturities extending out for a maximum of approximately 13 years and mortgage-backed securities ("MBS"). New investments, with the exception of short term deposits, have been classified as available for sale ("AFS"). As of September 30, 1997, the portfolios of investment securities and MBS equaled $3.5 million and $3.6 million, respectively, equal to 11.5 percent of total assets in the aggregate. The Association's assets were funded with a combination of deposits, borrowings and retained earnings at September 30, 1997. Retail deposits have consistently met the substantial portion of Gloversville Federal's funding needs, although the Association's funding requirements have been modest recently as a result of the limited growth of loans and assets. CDs comprised the largest component of the Association's deposit base, equaling 49.9ypercent of total deposits as of September 30, 1997. In this regard, the Association's deposit RP Financial, LC. Page 1.7 mixture has changed somewhat over the last several fiscal years. Whereas CDs equaled 58.7 percent of total deposits at the end of fiscal 1995, CDs equaled 49.9 percent of total deposits as of September 30, 1997. Management attributes the increase in transaction and savings accounts to the introduction of several new account types (i.e., statement savings and money market accounts) which have proven to be popular with its customers. The Association has not utilized borrowed funds to any significant extent over the last five fiscal years. As of September 30, 1997, borrowed funds outstanding totaled $1.3 million and consisted of funds from a reverse repurchase agreement. It is management's preference to rely on deposits to fund operations however, the Association has in the past, and expects to continue in the future, to utilize borrowings under several circumstances as follows: (1) when such funds are priced attractively relative to deposits; (2) to lengthen the duration of liabilities; and (3) to generate additional liquid funds, if required. Positive albeit moderate earnings boosted retained earnings from $4.4 million, or 7.1 percent of assets, at September 30, 1993, to $4.9 million, or 7.7 percent of assets, at September 30, 1995. The Association's equity diminished over the most recent two fiscal years, to equal $3.3 million, or 5.4 percent of assets as of September 30, 1997, as a result of operating losses recorded as a result of loan loss provisions established, the special SAIF assessment recorded in fiscal 1996, and to expenses incurred related to past due property taxes on properties securing one-to-four family residential loans in fiscal 1996. The Association maintains a moderate surplus relative to its minimum capital requirements, which is expected to increase following the infusion of the conversion proceeds. Income and Expense Trends - ------------------------- The ability of the Association to generate a profit has been primarily dependent upon the level of loan loss provisions established. In this regard, Gloversville Federal was modestly profitable during fiscal 1994 and 1995, when loan loss provisions were comparatively low, but reported losses in fiscal 1993, 1996, and 1997 when loan loss provisions were comparatively higher. More specifically, Gloversville Federal reported modest profitability in the range of 40 basis points on average assets in fiscal 1994 and fiscal 1995, while the Association reported a net loss equal to $1.0 million or 1.69 percent of average assets in fiscal 1996, and a net loss of $583,000 equal to 0.94 percent of average assets in fiscal 1997. Gloversville Federal's earnings have been largely derived through the net interest margin and other non-interest operating income, although the Association's earnings have been impacted to various degrees by non-operating items over the past several years, which have primarily included gains on the sale of fixed assets and investments in fiscal 1994, the special SAIF assessment in fiscal 1996 and the expense incurred as a result of past due property taxes on properties underlying the Association's mortgage loans.

Source: Gloversville Federal's audited and unaudited financial statements. RP Financial, LC. Page 1.9 expenses reflect the small size of Gloversville Federal (overhead costs are typically higher as a percent of assets in smaller institutions) coupled with the high level non-performing assets, which are expensive to resolve in terms of management time and institution resources. Loan loss provisions have also been subject to increases recently, primarily as a result of the high level of NPAs. These trends are explained more fully below. The Association's ratio of net interest income before provisions for loan losses has fluctuated at levels ranging from $2.3 million, equal to 3.44 percent of average assets for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1995, to $2.7 million, or 4.11 percent of average assets for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1994. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 1997, net interest income equaled $2.5 million, or 3.98 percent of average assets. The net interest margin before loan loss provisions decreased from fiscal 1994 to 1995 as interest rates increased and the yield on the Association's largely fixed rate loan portfolio increased at a slower pace than its predominately short term deposit base. Subsequently, net interest income as a percent of average assets has increased as: (1) interest rates have trended lower; (2) the percentage of loans in relation to total assets increased; (3) the Association increased the level of higher yielding commercial and multi-family mortgage loans; and (4) the proportion of savings and transaction accounts as a percent of total deposits has increased. Additionally, the Association's limited growth has reduced the competitive pressures on funding costs modestly. The data in Exhibit I-5 reflects changes in the Association's yields and costs since fiscal 1995. The overall yield on the Association's interest-earning assets has increased since fiscal 1995 (from 7.47 percent to 8.21 percent), primarily as a result of the changing composition of the mortgage loan portfolio to include a greater level of commercial and multi-family mortgage loans. At the same time, the Association's cost of funds has remained comparatively stable (ranging from 4.12 percent to 4.30 percent) over the corresponding time frame. The Association's favorable cost of funds has been facilitated by limited growth, which has reduced the need to price deposits at highly competitive levels. Overall, Gloversville Federal's spread increased from 3.35 percent to 3.96 percent from fiscal 1995 to fiscal 1997. Importantly, while the higher level of higher risk weight loans has provided the Association yield and repricing benefits, such loans typically carry greater credit risk exposure as well. Loan loss provisions have had a significant impact on the Association's operating results and have been a significant factor in Gloversville Federal's ability to generate positive earnings. As described previously, loan loss provisions had a limited impact on the Association's operating results for the period from fiscal 1994 through fiscal 1995. During 1996 and into 1997, the level of loan loss provisions was increased substantially due to several factors including the following: (1) the Association became aware that a significant number of its residential mortgage loans were past due on the payment of property taxes; (2) as a result of normal increases in the level of commercial and multi-family mortgage lending; and (3) ongoing weakness of the economy locally, particularly in Fulton County. Management has indicated that it believes loan loss provisions will be lower in the RP Financial, LC. Page 1.10 future based on numerous factors including current and anticipated loan volumes, market area trends, and the current level of allowances for loan losses and NPAs. The Association has consistently recorded moderate levels of non-interest operating income, ranging between 0.05 percent and 0.25 percent of average assets since fiscal 1993. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 1997, non-interest operating income totaled $155,000, equal to 0.25 percent of average assets. The level of non-operating income earned during the most recent fiscal year reflects modest growth as a result of a revamping of the Association's service fees and charges and to the changing composition of the deposit base to include a modestly higher level of transaction accounts. The Association generates non-interest operating income primarily from deposit fees, late charges on loans, various fees charged in connection with loan originations and other miscellaneous retail banking activities. Notwithstanding the fact that the Association has been in a no growth mode over the last three years, Gloversville Federal's operating expenses have been subject to increase since fiscal 1993, both due to modest inflationary pressures and due to the expenses related to increased staffing and the resolution of problem assets. As a result, operating expenses have increased from $1.8 million, equal to 2.72 percent of average assets in fiscal 1993, to $2.3 million, equal to 3.76 percent of average assets in 1997. Gloversville Federal's operating expenses were skewed upward in fiscal 1996 ($2.6 million or 4.17 percent of average assets) by a $318,000 expense related to the payment of delinquent property taxes on properties securing the Association's residential mortgage loan portfolio. The Association's operating expenses are high in relation to industry averages, particularly given Gloversville Federal's relatively undiversified operations (i.e., limited activity in the area of high cost lending or fee generating operations), due to a number of factors including the following: (1) the Association maintains a relatively high proportion of savings and transaction accounts which are typically more expensive to service than CDs; (2) the Association's stable asset size since 1993 has tended to push up the operating expense ratio as normal cost increases due to inflationary pressures are spread across a static asset base; (3) costs of resolving NPAs has been high, both in direct costs and in management time and resources; and (4) the Association's static asset size has diminished the ability to achieve economies of scale typically realized by growing financial institutions. At September 30, 1997, Gloversville Federal's assets/employee ratio was approximately $2.3 million as compared to the average for all publicly-traded savings institutions of $4.2 million. Over the long term, management has indicated that it will seek to streamline operations and increase growth, all with the objective of lowering the operating expense ratio. At the same time, the resumption of active residential lending operations will tend to increase operating expenses. Likewise, the expenses related to the stock RP Financial, LC. Page 1.11 benefit plans which will be implemented pursuant to the proposed conversion will also tend to increase the Association's operating expenses. Gloversville Federal's operating results were only minimally impacted by non-operating income and expenses for the period during 1993 and 1994. During 1995, the Association reported non-operating gains on the sale of investments and premises and equipment equal to $204,000 and $86,000, respectively. The only other non-operating item reported by Gloversville Federal was a $415,000 pre-tax expense reported in 1996 as a result of the special SAIF assessment. The Association reported a tax benefit of $222,000 in fiscal 1996 and a tax equal to $85,000 in fiscal 1997, notwithstanding the operating loss reported for the year. The Association reported a tax expense in the most recent fiscal year, notwithstanding the reported operating loss, due to an increase in the valuation allowance on the deferred tax asset. As of September 30, 1997, Gloversville Federal had a deferred tax asset of $152,000, net of a valuation allowance of $652,000. Interest Rate Risk Management - ----------------------------- Prior to 1994, Gloversville Federal was primarily a fixed rate residential mortgage lender -- the Association did not offer adjustable rate mortgages or commercial/multi-family mortgage loans. Coupled with a relatively short term deposit base, the Association's maintained a relatively significant exposure to interest rate risk. Commencing in 1994, the Association expanded the level of loan and deposit products with the dual objectives of increasing earnings and reducing the level of interest rate risk exposure. In this regard, Gloversville Federal began to offer residential ARM loans and commenced originating higher yielding variable rate (or shorter term) commercial and multi-family mortgage loans. In terms of deposits, the Association introduced statement savings and money market accounts with limited check writing privileges as well as commercial checking accounts. While these strategies have generally served to improve the Association's interest rate risk posture, Gloversville Federal's long term fixed rate mortgage loans continue to comprise the largest segment of the Association's interest-earning assets and earnings continue to remain exposed to rising interest rates. The rate shock analysis set forth in Exhibit I-6 reflects that the Association's net portfolio value ("NPV") would be reduced by $1.4 million or 22.9 percent pursuant to a 200 basis point permanent and instantaneous increase in interest rates. Pursuant to a 400 basis upward rate shock, NPV would be reduced by $3.2 million or 53.5 percent. Overall, the data suggests a relatively significant exposure to interest rate risk. RP Financial, LC. Page 1.12 Lending Activities and Strategy - ------------------------------- The Association's lending activities have traditionally concentrated on the origination and retention of 1-4 family permanent mortgage loans (see Exhibits I-7 loan portfolio data). The Association is primarily a portfolio lender. However, all single family residential mortgage loans originated for portfolio and the Association has not purchased residential mortgage loans over the last five years. Additionally, all of the loans which Gloversville Federal has originated over the last five fiscal years have been secured by properties or made to customers residing in the Association's local markets. At September 30, 1997, the Association's loan portfolio was concentrated in 1-4 family residential loans totaling in aggregate, $36.9 million, or 71.9 percent of gross loans receivable. Residential mortgage lending activities include permanent loans with fixed and adjustable rates of interest. The data further reflects that the majority of the Association's residential mortgage loan portfolio consists of fixed rate loans, which equaled approximately 86 percent of total residential mortgage loans as of September 30, 1997. The Association has been seeking to expand the level of commercial real estate and multi-family mortgage loans, in order to take advantage of local lending opportunities, provide for additional interest income and to position the Association as a more full-service financial institution. Commercial real estate and multi-family loans totaled $8.0 million, equal to 15.5 percent of total loans at September 30, 1997. Such loans are secured by apartments (typically 30 units or less) or by non-residential buildings used by business operations, such as warehouses and small office buildings. Essentially, all such loans are secured by properties within Gloversville Federal's primary market area and possess loan balances of less than $550,000. The Association seeks to limit the risk of such lending by maintaining loan-to-value ratios of 75 percent or less and debt service coverage ratios of at least 120 percent. Additionally, Gloversville Federal has established loan loss allowances in recognition of the risks involved in commercial and multi-family mortgage lending. Nonetheless, the Association's track record with respect to such lending is limited and the portfolio is relatively unseasoned. The Association also makes construction loans from time to time, for the purpose of constructing both residential and commercial properties. The balance of the construction loan portfolio equaled $539,000, or 1.1 percent of total loans as of September 30, 1997, and is expected to remain a limited portion of the Association's lending activities in the future. Non-mortgage loans comprise the remainder of the Association's loan portfolio, equal to 11.5 percent of gross loans at September 30, 1997, and consist of both commercial business and consumer loans. The majority of consumer loans (balance of $4.5 million or 8.7 percent of loans) consist of home equity loans with the remainder RP Financial, LC. Page 1.13 of the consumer loan portfolio comprised of mobile home loans, auto loans, and other miscellaneous loan types. Commercial loans equaled $1.4 million, equal to 2.8 percent of loans at September 30, 1997. Exhibit I-10, which shows the Association's loan originations over the past three fiscal years, highlights Gloversville Federal's limited loan volumes overall and growth in multi-family and commercial mortgage lending. Total loans originated equaled $10.2 million in fiscal 1995, and reduced to $8.8 million and $8.9 million in fiscal 1996 and 1997, respectively. Approximately $4.1 million or 46 percent of all loans originated in fiscal 1997 were comprised of commercial and multi-family mortgage loans while residential mortgage loan originations (substantially all fixed rate) equaled $1.6 million or 18 percent of total originations. All loans are originated by in-house personnel and are retained for portfolio. In the future, management will be seeking to increase the level of residential and commercial/multi-family mortgage lending to meet its targeted growth objectives. Asset Quality - ------------- As shown in Exhibit I-11, the level of non-performing assets has been high over the last five fiscal years and has increased in fiscal 1997. Specifically, the ratio of NPAs/assets has ranged from a low of 3.74 percent of assets to a high of $4.1 million, equal to 6.73 percent of assets as of September 30, 1997. A detailed review of Exhibit I-11, reflects that all of Gloversville Federal's non-performing loans consisted of delinquent residential mortgage loans. As discussed earlier, the high level of delinquencies are the result of several factors including the following: (1) weak growth and slack economic conditions locally; (2) weak underwriting and loan administration by prior management (i.e., 30 day grace period on payments provided in pre-1995 loans); and (3) the delinquency of many borrowers with respect to local property taxes. With respect to this latter factor, such loans have been modified or restructured and have an outstanding balance of $2.7 million. If they perform in accordance with their terms, these loans may be returned to accrual status throughout 1998. At the same time, approximately $1.0 million of the Association's delinquent loans are delinquent due to serious financial problems (i.e., unemployment or bankruptcy of the borrower, etc.) and many such loans will be placed into foreclosure. The perceived credit risk exposure of the Association is further increased by recent trends in the loan portfolio where we observe the portfolio of commercial and multi-family mortgage loans to be increasing. In this regard, the Association's track record with regard to high risk-weight lending is limited and the portfolio lacks seasoning, all of which contribute to the perceived increase in the Association's credit risk exposure. At September 30, 1997, Gloversville Federal maintained valuation allowances totaling $1.6 million, which equaled 3.14 percent of loans, 42.53 percent of non-performing loans, and 39.28 percent of NPAs. RP Financial, LC. Page 1.14 Following the employment of a new President and Chief Executive Officer, new management undertook a comprehensive review of all NPAs. As a result of the ongoing results of this review, the current loan loss allowance figure reflects the establishment of $714,000 of loan loss provisions in fiscal 1996 and $792,000 of loan loss provisions in fiscal 1997. Management has indicated that it believes loan loss provisions will be lower in the future based on numerous factors including current and anticipated loan volumes, market area trends, and the current level of allowances for loan losses and NPAs. At the same time, NPAs remain high and the reserve coverage ratio is low by industry standards. Funding Composition and Strategy - -------------------------------- Deposits have consistently been the Association's primary source of funds as the Association has employed borrowed funds from the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York and reverse repurchase agreements only to a limited extent. Gloversville Federal operates with a relatively favorable deposit base as passbook savings and transaction accounts totaled $28.1 million, or 50.1 percent of total deposits as of September 30, 1997. Growth in transaction and savings accounts in recent years has been facilitated by the introduction of several new account types including a statement savings account and a money market accounts with limited check writing privileges. As shown in Exhibit I-14, CDs accounted for approximately one-half of the deposit base (49.9 percent of total deposits) and comprise the largest single account type which the Association offers. Most of the Association's CDs are concentrated in short-term maturities. As of September 30, 1997, approximately 83.2 percent of the CDs had maturities of one year or less. Retail deposits are supplemented with a limited amount of jumbo certificates of deposits ("CDs"), accounting for 4.44 percent of Gloversville Federal's deposits at September 30, 1997. While borrowings are available as an alternative funding source, the Association has not utilized borrowed funds extensively in the past and borrowings totaled only $1.3 million as of September 30, 1997. Management believes that anticipated deposit growth, the offering proceeds and internal cash flows should adequately address most of the Association's funding needs in the foreseeable future. If borrowings are required (other than the ESOP loan from the Holding Company), such borrowings are expected to consist of FHLB advances and reverse repurchase agreements utilizing securities held by the Association as collateral. RP Financial, LC. Page 1.15 Subsidiary - ---------- As of September 30, 1997, the Association did not have any subsidiaries nor are any subsidiary activities anticipated in the future. Legal Proceedings - ----------------- Gloversville Federal is currently not involved in any legal proceedings other than routine legal proceedings that occur in the ordinary course of business, which, in aggregate, involve amounts that are believed to be immaterial to the financial condition of the Association. RP Financial, LC. Page 2.1 II. MARKET AREA Introduction - ------------ Gloversville Federal conducts operations out of a headquarters office in Gloversville, Fulton County, New York and a branch office in Saratoga Springs, Saratoga County, New York. The Association's markets in east-central New York are relatively rural in character but at the same time, are only approximately 70 miles from Albany. Fulton County has an estimated 1997 population of 54,000, while Saratoga County has an estimated 1997 population of 196,000; the majority of Saratoga County's population reside in close proximity to Schenectady and Albany in the southern half of the County. The local areas surrounding the Association's offices represent the primary market area for deposit generation as most of the Association's depositors live in the areas surrounding the office locations. Gloversville Federal's sources for loans primarily includes Fulton and Saratoga Counties but the Association will occasionally originate loans in other nearby areas. Competition from other financial institutions operating in the Association's market area includes a number of both large and small commercial banks and savings institutions. The Association maintains a market share of approximately 7 percent of overall financial institution deposits in Fulton County where it is headquartered and a market share of only approximately 1 percent in Saratoga County. The other financial institutions are both locally-owned community-oriented banks or subsidiaries of larger regional and superregional institutions. The Association has been in a shrinking mode over the last several years, and has lost market share as a result. Future business and growth opportunities will be partially influenced by economic and demographic characteristics of the market served, particularly the future growth and stability of the regional economy, demographic growth trends, and the nature and intensity of the competitive environment for financial institutions. These factors have been briefly examined in the following pages to help determine the growth potential that exists and the relative economic health of the market area. Market Area Demographics - ------------------------ Demographic growth trends in the two county market served by the Association have been measured by changes in population, number of households and median household income and other data, with trends in those areas summarized by the data presented in Table 2.1. Data for the U.S. and the State of New York has been provided for comparative purposes. RP Financial, LC.

RP Financial, LC. Page 2.3 As shown in Table 2.1, Gloversville Federal operates in a two county market area with an estimated population of 250,000 as of 1997. There exists a dichotomy in the markets served by Gloversville Federal as the Association's traditional market in Gloversville is smaller with limited economic and demographic growth while Saratoga County is one of the most rapidly growing counties in the State of New York. Specifically, population and households in Fulton County have been shrinking (0.1 percent annually) while the population and households in Saratoga County have been increasing at levels in excess of 1 percent annually. These growth trends are projected to continue through the year 2002, and indicate that the economic performance of Fulton County will continue to be sluggish while Saratoga County will be relatively favorable. Paralleling trends observed in the demographic statistics, income levels in Fulton County are well below the State of New York average while income levels for Saratoga County are relatively more favorable, approximately equivalent to the state average. Such trends are attributable to the blue collar nature of the workforce in Gloversville and the surrounding markets and to the attractiveness of southern portions Saratoga County to white collar commuters working in Albany and Schenectady. Economy - ------- The Association's deposit gathering activities and the majority of the lending operations are conducted in the Association's two county market area described above. Employment in the Fulton County market is primarily derived from the manufacturing and services sector as well as government. The traditional employers in the Association's markets have consisted of small manufacturers. Saratoga County generally has a larger and more diversified economic base, which is more reliant upon white collar jobs and tourism (in Saratoga Springs). Table 2.2 below presents the major employers within Fulton County.

Page 2.4 Table 2.3 displays unemployment data in the local market area as of September 1996 and September 1997. The unemployment rates reflect the comparatively lackluster performance of the Fulton County market as unemployment rates remain well above the state and national average, although they do exhibit a reduction from the prior year levels. Unemployment rates reflect the comparatively more favorable growth trends and economic conditions prevailing in Saratoga County, where unemployment equaled only 3.7 percent as of September 1997.

Deposit Trends and Competition - ------------------------------ The market area (defined as the two county market area for deposits), is characterized by the presence of both locally-based and locally-owned financial institutions and larger, regional and superregional institutions. Major competitors include local commercial banks such as The Adirondack Trust Company, CNB Bancorp, CNB Financial Corporation and NBT Bancorporation as well as larger regional and superregional banks such as Keycorp and Fleet. Table 2.4 displays deposit market trends for the State of New York and the primary market area from June 30, 1994 to June 30, 1996. Overall, financial institution deposits showed an increase statewide, with commercial banks showing growth while savings institutions lost deposits. This trend of moderate increases in overall deposits, similar to the rest of the nation, reflects in part disintermediation whereby banking customers have also placed available funds into other types of financial intermediaries such as mutual funds, investment firms, brokerage houses, and insurance companies. Deposit trends in both market area counties exhibited similar trends as the state, with commercial banks in Fulton and Saratoga Counties experiencing growth and savings institutions realizing a declining market share.

Page 2.6 Gloversville Federal reported deposit shrinkage over the time frame indicated in Table 2.4 as management's focus was primarily on resolving internal problems. In the future, the Association will be seeking to resume asset and deposit growth and believes the stock conversion will facilitate its efforts in this regard. Additionally, future marketing efforts are expected to be directed toward the Saratoga County market where management will be seeking to take advantage of more favorable growth and economic trends. RP Financial, LC. Page 3.1 III. PEER GROUP ANALYSIS This chapter presents an analysis of Gloversville Federal's operations versus a group of comparable public companies (the "Peer Group") selected from the universe of all publicly-traded savings institutions. The primary basis of the pro forma market valuation of the Association is provided by these public companies. Factors affecting Gloversville Federal's pro forma market value such as financial condition, credit risk, interest rate risk, and recent operating results can be readily assessed in relation to the Peer Group. Current market pricing of the Peer Group, subject to appropriate adjustments to account for differences between the Gloversville Federal and the Peer Group, will then be used as a basis for the valuation of the Association's to-be-issued common stock. Selection of Peer Group - ----------------------- We consider the appropriate Peer Group to be comprised of only those publicly-traded savings institutions whose common stock is either listed on a national exchange or is NASDAQ listed, since the market for companies trading in this fashion is regular and reported. We believe non-listed institutions are inappropriate since the trading activity for thinly-traded stocks is typically highly irregular in terms of frequency and price and may not be a reliable indicator of market value. We have excluded from the Peer Group all publicly-traded subsidiary institutions of mutual holding companies, because their pricing ratios are distorted by the minority issuance of their shares. We have also excluded from the Peer Group those companies under acquisition and/or companies whose market prices appear to be distorted by speculative factors or unusual operating conditions. The universe of all publicly-traded institutions is included as Exhibit III-1. Pricing characteristics of all thrift institutions are included as Exhibit IV-1 (institutions excluded from the calculation of averages are denoted with a footnote (8)). Under ideal circumstances, the Peer Group would be comprised of a minimum of ten publicly-traded New York thrifts with capital, earnings, asset sizes, balance sheet composition, risk profiles, operating strategies and market areas comparable to the Association. Since 10 such institutions do not exist, it was necessary to expand the search beyond state boundaries and with search criteria for similarly sized, well capitalized institutions located in other Mid-Atlantic states. Accordingly, our Peer Group search focused on publicly traded savings institutions in the Mid-Atlantic region with total assets of less than $250 million, and a total of twelve (12) institutions were included in the Peer Group. Given the relatively high level of NPAs at Gloversville Federal and the importance of asset quality in investors' evaluation of thrift stocks, our preference was to seek Peer Group companies which had a comparable RP Financial, LC. Page 3.2 level of non-performing assets and reserve coverage as Gloversville Federal. However, only a handful of publicly-traded companies maintain comparable asset quality ratios, and they vary widely in terms of size, operating strategy and markets. Accordingly, the focus of the Peer Group selection criteria was on similarity of operations, markets, etc., and the dissimilar credit risk exposure relative to the Peer Group will require an adjustment in the valuation section to follow. Likewise, the Association has reported operating losses for the last two fiscal years during a time period when many institutions are reporting strong if not record earnings. As a result, the Peer Group companies are reporting positive albeit moderate earnings on average; a characteristic which will require the application of a valuation adjustment given the limited number of companies with core and reported earnings levels approximating the Association's levels. Table 3.1 lists key characteristics of the Peer Group companies. In general, the Peer Group is comprised of relatively seasoned publicly-traded institutions operating in New York or other Mid-Atlantic U.S. states with small asset sizes. While the Peer Group is not exactly comparable to the Association, particularly in the areas of asset quality and profitability as referenced above, we believe that it provides the "best fit" Peer Group of publicly-traded thrifts with operations comparable to those of the Association and thus forms a sound basis for valuation. A summary description of the key characteristics of each of the Peer Group companies selected is detailed below. o Skaneateles Bancorp of NY. Skaneateles Bancorp, the largest member of the Peer Group with nearly $250 million of assets was selected due to its meeting the selection criteria described above, including operations in upstate New York. Skaneateles Bancorp maintains a relatively high percentage of assets in loans receivable and maintains a comparatively modest equity ratio. Moreover, the loan portfolio composition of Skaneateles Bancorp is highly comparable to the Association's and NPAs are well above industry averages. o The Elmira Savings Bank of NY. Elmira SB is a $228 million asset institution with operations in upstate New York. Elmira SB warrants inclusion in the Peer Group based on its low earnings levels (lowest in the Peer Group), similar asset structure and loan portfolio composition. Furthermore, Elmira SB's operating expenses are most nearly similar to the levels reported by the Association. o Harbor Federal Bancorp of MD. Harbor Federal, a $217 million thrift, operates through a 9 branch office network in the Baltimore area. Harbor Federal, in addition to satisfying the selection criteria, lending operations are broadly similar to the Association's and its capital ratio is similar to Gloversville Federal's anticipated capital ratio following the conversion. o Peekskill Financial Corp. of NY. Peekskill Financial operates in the mid-Hudson valley of New York through a total of three offices. Maintaining an asset base of $181 million, Peekskill Financial maintained a large investment in investment securities and MBS, which is somewhat different from the Association's operating strategy. Additionally, Peekskill Financial reports stronger operating returns than the Association, primarily based on its better asset quality and lower expense ratio. RP Financial, LC.

Date of Last Update: 01/05/98 RP Financial, LC. Page 3.4 o SFS Bancorp of NY. SFS Bancorp operates with total assets of $174 million and its primary market is relatively proximate to the Association's in the Capital District. The asset base is primarily comprised of residential mortgage loans and MBS and asset quality appears to be stronger in comparison to Gloversville Federal. Operating returns are moderate owing to operating costs which are above industry averages. o AFSALA Bancorp, Inc. of NY AFSALA Bancorp is headquartered in Amsterdam, New York, and is thus relatively proximate to the Association's market. AFSALA maintains total assets of $159 million. AFSALA maintains a relatively significant investment in cash and investments and a commercial business lending orientation in its loan portfolio, which supports its moderate to strong earnings levels. o Prestige Bancorp of PA. Prestige Bancorp operates with total assets of $138 million. Prestige Bancorp is primarily a residential mortgage lender which funds operations with deposits and, to a lesser extent, borrowed funds. Asset quality is strong and loan chargeoffs have been low. Overall profitability is moderate with an ROA of 63 basis points reported for the most recent twelve month period. o Tappan Zee Financial, Inc. of NY. Tappan Zee Financial operates with total assets of $124 million in the lower Hudson valley area within the New York City metropolitan area. Tappan Zee Financial maintains a comparatively large investment in MBS and overall, focuses lending operations on residential mortgages. Tappan Zee Financial generates moderate earnings levels as a result of its operating expenses which are above industry averages. The equity ratio is modestly above the Association's on a pro forma basis. o Advance Financial Bancorp of WV. Advance Financial operates through a total of 2 offices and maintains $106 million in northern West Virginia and is the most recently converted company in the Peer Group (January 1997). Advance Financial's asset base is primarily comprised of loans, although it has undertaken a greater level of diversification than the Association. Income levels are strong and are supported by a wide net interest margin and good asset quality. o WHG Bancshares of MD. WHG Bancshares has $100 million of total assets and operates through a total of 5 branch offices in the Baltimore metropolitan area. The majority of assets are invested in loans and the portfolio exhibits limited diversification outside of residential loans. Asset quality is good and earnings are moderate which is partially attributable to its relatively high operating expense ratio. o Albion Banc. Corp of NY. Albion Banc Corp. is perhaps the most comparable company to Gloversville Federal in the Peer Group. Albion Banc Corp. operates two offices in a relatively rural area in western New York (between Rochester and Buffalo). Lending operations are primarily centered around residential mortgage loans with moderate diversification into other loan types exhibited. Operations are primarily funded with retail deposits and earnings are modest due in part, to a high operating expense ratio (3.02 percent of average assets). An important difference between Albion Banc Corp. and the Association however, is its more favorable asset quality and reserve coverage ratios. o Pennwood Savings Bank of PA. Pennwood SB is the smallest Peer Group company, maintaining $48 million in assets and operating three offices in the Pittsburgh metropolitan area. Pennwood SB is the only company included in the Peer Group which is smaller than the Association in terms of total assets. Pennwood SB is a residential lender but maintains a larger cash and investment portfolio than the Association. Operating returns are strong (0.99 percent of average assets) as a result of a strong net interest margin and favorable asset quality. In aggregate, the Peer Group companies have an average capital ratio that is higher than the industry average (14.14 percent of assets versus 13.00 percent for the all SAIF average), and lower core profitability (0.72 RP Financial, LC. Page 3.5 percent versus 0.87 percent for all SAIF-insured publicly-traded institutions). The Peer Group's higher capital ratio combined with lower earnings results in a lower core ROE of 5.47 percent versus 7.81 percent for the all SAIF average. In terms of pricing, the Peer Group on average trades at a lower price/book ("P/B") multiple and a higher price/earnings ("P/E") multiple relative to the industry (see the following table). As of December 12, 1997 ----------------------- Peer All SAIF Group Insured ----- -------- Equity-to-Assets 14.14% 13.00% Return on Assets ("ROA")-Core 0.72% 0.87% Return on Equity ("ROE")-Core 5.47% 7.81% Market Capitalization ($Mil) $21.06 $181.59 Price-to-Tangible Book Ratio ("P/TB") 130.46% 162.79% Price-to-Earnings Multiple ("P/E")-Core 23.35x 20.43x Price-to-Assets Ratio ("P/A") 17.88% 19.33% Source: Chapter IV tables. The following sections present a comparison of the Association's financial condition, income and expense trends, loan composition, interest rate risk and credit risk versus the Peer Group. The conclusions drawn from the comparative analysis are then factored into the valuation analysis discussed in the final chapter. Financial Condition - ------------------- Table 3.2 shows comparative balance sheet measures for the Association and the Peer Group, reflecting the expected similarities and some differences given the selection procedures outlined above. Information for Gloversville Federal is as of September 30, 1997, and as of the latest available (September 30 or June 30) for the Peer Group. The Association's pre-conversion net worth of 5.4 percent was substantially below the Peer Group's average net worth ratio of 14.1 percent, although the Association's capital level can be expected to increase to levels more closely approximating the Peer Group average on a pro forma basis. Neither the Association or the Peer Group had a balance of goodwill. The Association and all of the Peer Group companies were in compliance with all fully phased-in regulatory capital requirements and were considered to be well-capitalized by FDICIA standards. The asset composition analysis reveals that Gloversville Federal maintains a higher proportion of its assets in loans receivable than the Peer Group while the Peer Group maintains a greater proportion of interest-earning asset deployed into cash, investments and MBS. Specifically, loans equaled 81.2 percent of assets for the RP Financial, LC.

Copyright (c) 1997 by RP Financial, LC. RP Financial, LC. Page 3.7 Association versus 65.5 percent for the Peer Group on average. Conversely, investments and MBS equaled 8.8 percent and 5.8 percent, respectively, for the Association versus an average of 20.5 percent and 11.0 percent, respectively for the Peer Group. Following the conversion, the Association's level of cash and investments is expected to initially increase, pending the Association's deployment of the proceeds into loans or alternatively, the repayment of borrowings. Overall, the Association's IEA totaled 95.8 percent of assets which was below the Peer Group's ratio of 97.0 percent. While the Association utilized deposits as the primary source to fund operations, the Peer Group relied on both deposits and borrowings as funding sources, as reflected in the current deposits to assets ratios of 92.0 percent and 79.0 percent, respectively, and borrowings to assets ratios of 2.1 percent and 5.6 percent, respectively. Total interest-bearing liabilities ("IBL") maintained by the Association and the Peer Group equaled 94.1 percent and 84.6 percent, respectively, with the Peer Group's lower ratio attributable to its higher capital ratio. On a pro forma basis, the Association's IBL ratio is expected to decline as a result of the Association's enhanced capital base and potential deposit withdrawals to fund stock purchases. Taken together, the comparative IEA/IBL ratios demonstrate a key component of earning power. In this regard, the Association's ratio of 101.8ypercent was lower than the Peer Group's ratio of 114.7 percent. On a post-offering basis, the Association's ratio should improve but will nonetheless remain below the Peer Group average. The growth rate section of Table 3.2 shows growth rates for key balance sheet items. The growth rates for the Association are for the year ended September 30, 1997 while growth rates for the Peer Group are for the latest trailing twelve months available. The slow growth nature of Gloversville Federal's primary market area in upstate New York coupled with the restructuring of management and operations contributed to Gloversville Federal's stable asset base (i.e., nominal growth of 0.02 percent). In contrast, the Peer Group on average posted relatively strong asset growth of 8.31 percent. The growth rate differential is attributable to the Peer Group's stronger deposit growth. One factor impacting the asset growth rate differentials is shrinkage in the Association's loan portfolio as the Association's product offerings over much of the period were limited and new management effectively scaled back residential lending operations in 1994 in order to develop and implement appropriate lending policies and procedures and to focus on improving asset quality. The Association's net worth reflects shrinkage over the most recent fiscal year equal to 13.46 percent while net worth balances were relatively flat for the Peer Group. The Association's net worth growth was inhibited by the loss reported during the twelve months ended 1997, while capital growth of the Peer Group companies was restrained by various capital management strategies employed by Peer Group members (such as stock repurchases and dividends). RP Financial, LC. Page 3.8 Income and Expense Components - ----------------------------- For the twelve months ended September 30, 1997, Gloversville Federal reported a net loss equal to 0.94 percent of average assets, which was lower than the 0.73 percent positive ROA posted by the Peer Group companies (see Table 3.3). Gloversville Federal's earnings were supported by a comparatively strong net interest margin, which was more than offset by lower levels of non-interest operating income and operating expenses. The primary factor leading to the Association's lower earnings however was weaker asset quality which led to relatively higher loan loss provisions. The comparative income statement analysis reveals some unique differences in the components of profitability, as explained below. Net interest income was the primary component of the Association's and the Peer Group's earnings. Gloversville Federal's net interest income was more favorable than that recorded by the Peer Group (3.98 percent and 3.57 percent of average assets, respectively), notwithstanding the Association's lower capital level. The primary factor leading to the differential is the Association's favorable interest income ratio (7.95 percent of average assets versus 7.36 percent of average assets for the Peer Group) as the level of interest expense to average assets did not result in a favorable comparison (3.96 percent for the Association versus 3.79 percent for the Peer Group). As shown in the yield-cost section of Table 3.3, Gloversville Federal's yield on assets equaled 8.21 percent versus an average of 7.58 percent for the Peer Group. We attribute Gloversville Federal's favorable asset yields to its relatively high concentration of loans, including higher yielding fixed rate residential and commercial/multi-family mortgage loans. Additionally, the Association's cost of funds has been minimized by slack growth which has minimized the need to price deposits aggressively in relation to the prevailing market average (the Association's cost of funds equaled 4.25 percent versus an average of 4.48 percent for the Peer Group). The reinvestment of the net conversion proceeds may serve to initially dilute the Association's asset yields due to current market rates on short- to intermediate-term investment securities but the net interest margin should increase with an increase in the IEA/IBL ratio. Non-interest income made a slightly smaller contribution to the Association's earnings relative to the Peer Group's (0.25 percent of average assets versus 0.30 percent for the Peer Group), reflecting the Association's smaller, less diversified operations. Non-interest income for the Association and the Peer Group is primarily comprised of deposit fee income, service charges, late charges on loans, and other miscellaneous retail banking fee revenues. No significant changes in non-interest income are anticipated on a post-offering basis. Gloversville Federal's operating expense ratio was higher than the Peer Group ratio (3.74 percent of average assets versus 2.65 percent for the Peer Group). The reasons for the higher operating expenses are related, in part, to the relatively high number of employees in comparison to total assets ($2.2 million of assets per employee for the Association versus an average of $4.1 million for the Peer Group).

Copyright (c) 1997 by RP Financial, LC. RP Financial, LC. Page 3.10 Association's deposit structure, which moderates the cost of funds, is somewhat more costly to service (i.e., transaction and passbook savings accounts are more costly to process and service than are higher costing CDs and borrowings). The Association's asset quality problems have increased operating costs relative to the Peer Group (i.e., cost related to implementing new policies and procedures and working out of problem assets) in addition to resulting in higher loan loss provisions which have burdened Gloversville Federal's earnings. Last, Gloversville Federal's static asset base has diminished its ability to achieve economies of scale realized by the Peer Group. When viewed together, net interest income before provisions, non-interest income (excluding non-operating items) and operating expenses provide an insight into an institution's earnings strength. In this regard, as measured by their efficiency ratios, Gloversville Federal's ratio of 88.8ypercent is far less favorable than the Peer Group's ratio of 68.5ypercent. The Association's less favorable efficiency ratio is attributable to its relatively high operating expenses and low level of fee income. We anticipate that the Association's efficiency ratio will initially improve following the holding company reorganization and stock offering as the net proceeds are invested in interest-earning assets. At the same time, resumption of active residential lending operations and the impact of the stock benefit plans will tend to diminish the beneficial impact of the conversion offering on the efficiency ratio and core operating returns. Additionally, the Association may likely seek to relocate its current office in Saratoga Springs and/or open a new office in Saratoga County, either of which would tend to initially increase the Association's expense ratio. Loan loss provisions had a more significant impact on the Association's earnings, as would be expected given the higher level of NPAs relative to the Peer Group. The management of Gloversville Federal has indicated that it anticipates that loan loss provisions will be lower in the future. However, the projection of lower loan loss provisions will be contingent upon management meeting its projection for improvement in the Association's asset quality ratios. Net non-operating income and expense was nominal for both the Association and the Peer Group which is reflective of their traditional thrift operating strategies. The Association reported an effective tax rate of negative 17.08 percent as compared to an effective tax rate of 36.46 percent on average for the Peer Group. Most of the Peer Group companies appear to be in a fully taxable position. The Association's negative effective tax rate for fiscal 1997 is attributable to the increase in the valuation allowance on the Association's deferred tax asset. As of September 30, 1997, Gloversville Federal had a deferred tax asset of $152,000, net of a valuation allowance of $652,000. Given the fully taxable status of the Peer Group and their record of profitable operations, we do not believe the Peer Group has comparable deferred tax assets. RP Financial, LC. Page 3.11 Loan Composition - ---------------- Table 3.4 presents data related to the loan composition of Gloversville Federal and the Peer Group. Residential mortgages and MBS accounted for the largest portion of the Association's and the Peer Group's loan portfolios, measured at 73.7 percent and 79.5 percent of total loan and MBS, respectively. Both the Association and the Peer Group are primarily portfolio lenders, although some Peer Group members engage in mortgage banking activity and reported modest balances of loans serviced for others. The Association's higher concentration of residential loans was more than offset by a lower ratio of MBS relative to the Peer Group. On balance, Gloversville Federal's loan portfolio was modestly more diversified than the Peer Group's loan portfolio. The patterns of lending diversification for Gloversville Federal and the Peer Group showed some key differences as well. Multi-family and commercial mortgage lending was the primary area of loan portfolio diversification for the Association (14.5 percent of loans and MBS) which is attributable to efforts by new management to diversify the portfolio into higher yielding more interest sensitive loans. In contrast, the Peer Group's multi-family/commercial mortgage portfolio averaged 6.8 percent of loans and MBS while the Peer Group participated in non-mortgage lending (11.9 percent loans and MBS) and construction and land loans (3.1 percent of loans and MBS) to a greater extent. The Association reported a higher risk-weighted assets ratio than the Peer Group at 62.0 and 49.9 percent, respectively. The higher risk weighted asset ratio is the result of the higher ratio of loans for the Association including non-performing loans. Credit Risk - ----------- Overall, Gloversville Federal's credit risk exposure appears to be significantly greater than the Peer Group's, as indicated by the Association's higher level of NPAs and lower reserve coverage. As shown in Table 3.5, Gloversville Federal's ratio of non-performing assets and accruing loans that are more than 90 days past due equaled 6.73 percent of assets, versus a comparative ratio of 0.81 percent for the Peer Group. Similarly, Gloversville Federal's non-performing loans to loans ratio was higher than the Peer Group's ratio (7.66 percent versus 0.95 percent for the Peer Group). Loss reserve ratios as a percent of problem assets also indicated a potentially higher degree of credit risk exposure for the Association, with the Association and the Peer Group maintaining loss reserves as a percent of non-performing assets and accruing loans that are more than 90 days past due of 42.53 percent and 120.23 percent, respectively, while loan chargeoffs were also higher for the Association.

The information provided in this table has been obtained from sources we believe are reliable, but we cannot guarantee the accuracy or completeness of such information. Copyright (c) 1997 by RP Financial, LC. RP Financial, LC. Page 3.14 As described in Section One, new management of Gloversville Federal attributes the high level of NPAs to several factors as follows: (1) weak growth and slack economic conditions locally; (2) weak underwriting and loan administration by prior management (i.e., 30 day grace period on payments provided in pre-1994 loans); and (3) the delinquency of many borrowers with respect to local property taxes. With respect to this latter factor, such loans have been modified or restructured and have an outstanding balance of $2.7 million - if they perform in accordance with their terms, the may be returned to accrual status throughout 1998. At the same time, approximately $1.0 million of the Association's delinquent loans are delinquent due to serious financial problems (i.e., unemployment or bankruptcy of the borrower, etc.) and many such loans are expected to be placed into foreclosure. Interest Rate Risk - ------------------ Table 3.6 reflects the relative interest rate risk exposure of Gloversville Federal and the Peer Group. The Association's lower capital level was the key factor contributing to its lower IEA/IBL ratio relative to the Peer Group (101.8 percent versus 115.2 percent, respectively). The Association's lower capital and IEA/IBL ratios increases its funding costs relative to the Peer Group. However, the Association's capital ratio and IEA/IBL ratio will increase on a post-conversion basis. The Association's relative interest rate risk exposure was exacerbated by the higher level of non-interest earning assets, including non-accruing loans related to the Association's asset quality problems. In the absence of available or comparable gap and rate shock analyses for the Peer Group, the change in the quarterly net interest income ratio to average assets for the Association and the Peer Group has been examined in relation to the change in market interest rates. As shown in Table 3.6, the Association's net interest margin has recently shown greater sensitivity to changing market interest rates in comparison to the Peer Group's average net interest margin. We attribute this sensitivity to Gloversville Federal's fixed rate lending emphasis in which substantially all loans are originated for portfolio. On a pro forma basis, the Association's improved capital position and reinvestment of proceeds in short- to intermediate-term securities can be expected to lower exposure to changes in interest rates modestly. At the same time, Gloversville Federal will continue to possess significant interest rate risk in relation to the Peer Group based on its higher level of non-earning and non-performing assets, and significant investment in long-term fixed rate loans.

RP Financial, LC. Page 4.1 IV. VALUATION ANALYSIS Introduction - ------------ This chapter presents the valuation analysis, prepared pursuant to the approved valuation methodology promulgated by the OTS, and valuation factors used to determine the estimated pro forma market value of the common stock of the Holding Company. The common stock will be issued in conjunction with the conversion of Gloversville Federal from the mutual-to-stock form of ownership. The valuation has been prepared utilizing the pro forma valuation methodology promulgated by the OTS, most recently set forth in their 1994 valuation guidelines. Appraisal Guidelines - -------------------- The OTS appraisal guidelines, originally released in October 1983, specify the methodology for estimating the pro forma market value of an institution. The methodology included: (1) selection of a peer group of comparable seasoned publicly-traded institutions whose pricing is not distorted due to a variety of factors; (2) a fundamental analysis of the subject company to the peer group; and (3) a pro forma valuation analysis of the subject company based on the market pricing of the peer group as of the date of valuation. The amended valuation guidelines also limit the amount of a new issue discount which may be incorporated into the valuation and thereby curtail the potential price appreciation in the after-market. RP Financial's valuation analysis complies with the October 1983 OTS appraisal guidelines as revised on October 21, 1994, incorporating a "fundamental analysis" relative to the Peer Group and a "technical analysis" of final conversion pricing and trading levels of recently completed conversions. It should be noted that such analysis cannot possibly fully account for all the market forces which impact after-market trading activity and pricing characteristics of a stock on a given day. The pro forma market value determined herein is a preliminary value for the Holding Company's to-be-issued stock. Throughout the conversion process, RP Financial will: (1) review changes in the Association's operations and financial condition; (2) monitor the Association's operations and financial condition relative to the Peer Group to identify any fundamental changes; (3) monitor the external factors affecting value including, but not limited to, local and national economic conditions, interest rates, and the stock market environment, including the market for thrift stocks; and (4) monitor pending initial and second step conversion offerings (including those in the offering phase) both regionally and nationally. If material changes should occur during the conversion process, RP Financial will prepare updated valuation reports reflecting such changes and their related impact on RP Financial, LC. Page 4.2 value, if any, over the course of the conversion process. RP Financial will also prepare a final valuation update at the closing of the conversion offering to determine if the preliminary range of value continues to be appropriate. The appraised value determined herein is based on the current market and operating environment for the Association and for all thrifts. Subsequent changes in the local and national economy, the legislative and regulatory environment, the stock market, interest rates, and other external forces (such as natural disasters or major world events), which may occur from time to time (often with great unpredictability), may materially impact the market value of all savings institution stocks, including Gloversville Federal, or Gloversville Federal's value alone. To the extent a change in factors impacting the Association's value can be reasonably anticipated and/or quantified, RP Financial has incorporated the estimated impact into its analysis. Valuation Analysis - ------------------- A fundamental analysis discussing similarities and differences relative to the Peer Group was presented in Chapter III. The following sections summarize such differences between the Association and the Peer Group and how those differences affect the pro forma valuation. Emphasis is placed on the specific strengths and weaknesses of the Association relative to the Peer Group in such key areas as financial condition, profitability, growth and viability of earnings, asset growth, primary market area, dividends, liquidity of the issue, marketing of the issue, management, and the effect of government regulations and/or regulatory reform. We have also considered the market for savings institution stocks, and in particular new issues, to assess the impact on value of Gloversville Federal coming to market at this time. 1. Financial Condition ------------------- The financial strength of an institution is an important determinant in pro forma market value, because investors typically look to such factors as liquidity, capital, asset composition and quality, and funding sources in assessing investment attractiveness. The similarities and differences in the Association's financial strength can be summarized as follows: o Overall Asset/Liability. ("A/L") Composition. One-to-four family permanent mortgage loans comprised the largest segment of the loan portfolios of both Gloversville Federal and the Peer Group. The primary difference with respect to the asset composition is the Association's modestly higher level of loans, which is offset by the Peer Group's modestly higher ratio of MBS. Additionally, in terms of the loan portfolio composition, the Peer Group's portfolio reflects a slightly greater level of diversification into commercial and multi-family mortgage loans consistent with new management's targets to build the portfolio up to 25 percent of total loans. Both have funded their balance sheets primarily with retail deposits, although the Peer Group has utilized borrowed funds to a greater extent. The Association's pro forma IEA/IBL RP Financial, LC. Page 4.3 ratio will be improved on a post-conversion basis although it is expected remain below the Peer Group average. o Credit Risk. The Association has a greater level of credit risk exposure in comparison to the Peer Group based primarily on its higher level of NPAs and lower reserve coverage ratio. Additionally, the Association's markets were hard hit by recessionary economic conditions prevailing in the early 1990s, particularly the real estate markets, and have yet to fully recover. At the same time, new management has been revamping the Association's policies and procedures with the objective of reducing the level of NPAs, although the long-term success of such efforts is uncertain. We also believe the relatively unseasoned nature of the loan portfolio also increases the Association's credit risk exposure in comparison to the Peer Group. Accordingly, over the near term, the level of NPAs is expected to remain in excess of the Peer Group average while the coverage ratio will be less favorable. o Balance Sheet Liquidity. The Association operates with a lower level of balance sheet liquidity based on its lower level of cash, investments and MBS. While the Association has a lower level of borrowed funds, which would normally indicate greater borrowing potential, credit quality problems diminish the ability to utilize whole loans as borrowing collateral. The Association's liquidity will be improved somewhat on a post-conversion basis based on the initial use of proceeds. o Capitalization. The Association operates with a lower pre-conversion capital level than the Peer Group. Although Gloversville Federal's capital level will be improved following the conversion, it will nonetheless remain below the Peer Group average. On balance, the most distinguishing characteristic between the financial condition of the Association and the Peer Group was credit quality and risk profile. Gloversville Federal's less favorable credit quality measures, coupled with its lower level of balance sheet liquidity and lower pro forma capital ratio warrant the application of a significant downward adjustment for financial strength. 2. Profitability, Growth and Viability of Earnings ----------------------------------------------- Earnings are a key factor in determining pro forma market value, as the level and risk characteristics of an institution's earnings stream and the prospects and ability to generate future earnings heavily influence the multiple the investment community will pay for earnings. The major factors considered in the valuation are described below. o Reported Earnings. The Association posted losses on operations for the last two fiscal years versus moderate to strong profitability reported by the Peer Group companies for the most recent twelve month period. Reported earnings were well below the Peer Group average owing to its comparatively higher operating expenses, loan loss provisions and lower non-interest income levels. The foregoing items which led to the Association's inferior earnings levels were offset to an extent, by Gloversville Federal's comparatively higher level of net interest income in comparison to the Peer Group average. o Core Profitability. As noted previously, the Association's core profitability is much lower than the Peer Group on a pro forma basis, owing to its less favorable efficiency ratio. Additionally, RP Financial, LC. Page 4.4 management has indicated that while future expenses may be reduced as asset quality improves, the resumption of more aggressive marketing of residential mortgage loans coupled with the relocation of an existing office and/or opening of a new office in Saratoga County may tend to increase the Association's operating costs initially. Management expects loan loss provisions to be lower in the future which will improve core profitability although the Association's ability to sustain lower loan loss provisions may be contingent upon its ability to improve credit quality. o Interest Rate Risk. The Association appears to have greater interest rate risk exposure, primarily as a result of its practice of placing 15 and 30 year fixed rate residential mortgage loans into portfolio. The reinvestment of the proceeds pursuant to Gloversville Federal's stock offering could be expected to moderate the Association's interest rate risk exposure somewhat. o Credit Quality. Gloversville Federal reported loan loss provisions well above the Peer Group average in an effort by new management to establish an adequate level of allowances for loan losses in conjunction with the Association's revised policies and procedures. Nonetheless, we believe the Association continues to maintain comparatively greater credit risk exposure relative to the Peer Group based primarily on its higher level of NPAs and lower reserve coverage ratio and due to the unseasoned nature of the commercial and multi-family mortgage loan portfolio. o Earnings Growth Potential. Earnings growth at the Association will be constrained by a number of factors, including slow growth in its Fulton County market, intense competition, and the costs which may be incurred in undertaking further expansion in the more favorable Saratoga County market. The Peer Group companies, on average, operate in better market areas than the Association, which leads to greater opportunities. Additionally, the Peer Group on average is larger than the Association, which provides more flexibility in diversifying operations. Based on the foregoing, the Association's earnings growth potential appears to be less favorable than that of the Peer Group. Overall, RP Financial concluded that Gloversville Federal's disadvantage in core profitability, greater credit risk exposure, and lower earnings growth potential warrant a significant downward adjustment for profitability, growth and viability of earnings. 3. Asset Growth ------------ Recent growth trends and expectations are less favorable than for the Peer Group companies, on average. The Association has been in a no growth mode as a result of limited growth trends for the Fulton County market and as new management focused on resolving asset quality problems and revamping policies and procedures. While the Association has been effective in increasing the commercial/multi-family mortgage loan portfolio, the ability to increase residential mortgage lending operations is uncertain. Overall, we applied a moderate downward adjustment to the valuation for this factor. 4. Primary Market Area ------------------- The general condition of a financial institution's primary market area has a significant impact on value, as future success is in part dependent upon opportunities for profitable activities in the local market. Gloversville RP Financial, LC. Page 4.5 Federal's primary market area in Fulton County is a blue collar market that has been relatively slow to recover from the economic recession of the 1980s. While a large proportion of the manufacturing jobs that were lost have been replaced, many of these are in services, which is typically a lower wage employment sector than manufacturing. Conversely, the Association's market in Saratoga County is more upscale and white collar market which has exhibited stronger growth trends. As shown in Table 4.1, historical and projected population growth for the Association's Fulton County market, where the majority of the depositors and loan customers reside, exhibits comparable population growth trends in comparison to the Peer Group and income levels which are well below the Peer Group average. Demographic growth trends and income levels are more favorable relative to the Peer Group in Saratoga County, although the Association maintains a relatively small presence there. Overall, we believe no adjustment is warranted for this factor as the negative characteristics of the Fulton County market are offset by the greater potential of Saratoga County in comparison to the markets served by the Peer Group. 5. Dividends --------- The Holding Company has indicated that it will not initially pay a dividend. The ability to pay a dividend will be based on numerous factors including growth objectives, financial condition, the amount of net proceeds retained by the Holding Company in the conversion, investment opportunities available to the Holding Company and the Association, profitability, tax considerations, minimum capital requirements, regulatory limitations, stock market characteristics and general economic conditions. Historically, savings institutions typically have not established dividend policies at the time of their conversion to stock ownership. Newly converted institutions, in general, have preferred to gain market seasoning, establish an earnings track record and more fully invest the conversion proceeds before establishing a dividend policy. However, during the late 1980s and early 1990s, with negative publicity surrounding savings institutions, there was a tendency for more institutions to initiate moderate dividend policies concurrent with their conversion as a means of increasing the attractiveness of the stock offering. Today, fewer institutions are compelled to initially establish dividend policies at the time of their conversion offering to increase the attractiveness of the stock issue as: (1) industry profitability has improved, (2) the number of problem thrift institutions has declined, and (3) the stock market cycle for thrift stocks is generally more favorable than in the early 1990s. At the same time, with ROE ratios under pressure, due to high equity levels, well-capitalized institutions are subject to increased competitive pressures to offer dividends and a number of institutions have instituted special dividends.

Sources: CACI, SNL Securities, Bureau of Labor Statistics RP Financial, LC. Page 4.7 As publicly-traded savings institution's capital levels and profitability have improved and as weakened institutions have been resolved, the proportion of institutions with cash dividend policies has increased. All twelve institutions in the Peer Group presently pay regular cash dividends, with implied dividend yields ranging from 0.62 percent to 2.06 percent. The average dividend yield on the stocks of the Peer Group institutions was 1.56 percent as of December 12, 1997, representing an average earnings payout ratio of 37.42 percent. As of December 12, 1997, more than 80 percent of all publicly-traded savings institutions had adopted cash dividend policies (see Exhibit IV-1), exhibiting an average yield of 1.83 percent and an average payout ratio of 35.04 percent. The dividend paying institutions generally maintain higher than average profitability ratios, facilitating their ability to pay cash dividends, which supports a market pricing premium on average relative to non-dividend paying institutions. The Holding Company's ability following the completion of the conversion to pay a dividend will be lower based on the following considerations: (1) management is committed to maintaining the Association's capital position at a minimum of 10 percent of assets for the near term following the conversion which may limit the amount of cash proceeds retained by the Holding Company; and (2) the Holding Company's consolidated capital and core earnings will be below the Peer Group average. Based on the foregoing, we have applied a moderate downward adjustment for this factor. 6. Liquidity of the Shares ----------------------- The Peer Group is by definition composed of companies that are traded in the public markets, all of which trade on the NASDAQ system. Typically, the number of shares outstanding and market capitalization provides an indication of how much liquidity there will be in a particular stock. The market capitalization of the Peer Group companies ranged from $7.0 million to $55.9 million as of December 12, 1997, with an average market value of $25.9 million. The shares outstanding of the Peer Group members ranged from 0.3 million to 3.1 million, with average shares outstanding of approximately 1.3 million. The Association's stock is anticipated to be traded in the over-the-counter market ("OTC"), which typically provides a lower level of liquidity than listing on NASDAQ or trading on an exchange. Furthermore, the Association's pro forma market capitalization and number of shares outstanding will be well below the Peer Group averages. Based on the foregoing, we have applied a moderate downward adjustment for this factor. 7. Marketing of the Issue ---------------------- We believe that three separate markets exists for savings institution stocks coming to market such as Gloversville Federal: (A) the after-market for public companies, in which trading activity is regular and RP Financial, LC. Page 4.8 investment decisions are made based upon financial condition, earnings, capital, ROE and dividends; (B) the new issue market in which converting thrifts are evaluated on the basis of the same factors but on a pro forma basis without the benefit of a stock trading history and reporting quarterly operating results as a publicly-held company; and (C) the acquisition market for savings institution franchises in New York. All of these markets were considered in the valuation of the Association's conversion. A. Public Market ------------- The value of publicly-traded thrift stocks is easily measurable, and is tracked by most investment houses and related organizations. Exhibit IV-1 provides pricing and financial data on all publicly-traded thrifts. In general, thrift stock values react to market stimuli such as interest rates, inflation, perceived industry health, projected rates of economic growth, regulatory issues and stock market conditions in general. Exhibit IV-2 displays historical stock market trends for various indices and includes historical stock price index values for thrifts and commercial banks. Exhibit IV-3 displays historical stock price indices for thrifts only. In terms of assessing general stock market conditions, the stock market has generally trended higher over the past year. Following the rapid rise in the stock market during November 1996, which was supported by the "status quo" election results, stocks retreated during the first half of December. Profit taking, concern about speculative excesses in the stock market and higher interest rates all contributed to the decline in the stock market. The stock market resumed an upward trend during the end of 1996 and the first three weeks of 1997, with the DJIA establishing several new highs in the process. Factors contributing to the rally in the stock market included the Federal Reserve's decision to leave rates unchanged at its December meeting, economic data which reflected moderate growth and low inflation, and favorable fourth quarter earnings particularly in the technology sector. However, a disappointing fourth quarter earnings report by IBM ignited a sell-off in the stock market in late-January. Higher interest rates extended the downturn, as the 30-year bond approached 7.0 percent at the end of January. A high degree of market volatility was evident throughout most of February 1997, reflecting concern over speculative excesses in the stock market; particularly, as the DJIA closed above the 7000 mark in mid-February. Profit taking, growing expectations of a correction and comments by the Federal Reserve Chairman pulled the market lower in late-February. Following a downturn in late-February 1997, the market recovered in early-March. Despite increasing expectations of an interest rate hike by the Federal Reserve, the Dow Jones Industrial Average ("DJIA") closed to a new record high of 7085.16 on March 11, 1997. However, an upward revision to the January retail sales figure triggered a one day sell-off in stocks and bonds on March 13, 1997, as the stronger than RP Financial, LC. Page 4.9 expected growth heightened expectations of an interest rate increase by the Federal Reserve. Unease over higher interest rates, profitability concerns in the technology sector and litigation concerns for tobacco stocks pulled the stock market lower in mid-March. As expected, the Federal Reserve increased the rate on short-term funds by 0.25 percent at its late-March meeting. Following the rate increase, the sell-off in the stock market became more severe amid further signs of an accelerating economy. Stocks bottomed-out on news of a stronger than expected rise in core producer prices for March, with the DJIA closing at 6391.69 on April 11, 1997, or 9.8 percent below the all-time high recorded a month ago. Some favorable first quarter earnings reports and news of a possible settlement by tobacco companies to resolve the threat of liability lawsuits provided for a modest recovery in the stock market in mid-April 1997. In late-April, the release of economic data which indicated mild inflationary pressures furthered the rally in bond and stock prices. News of a budget agreement and a favorable ruling for tobacco companies sent the stock market soaring to record highs in early-May. Mixed economic data and the Federal Reserve's decision to leave its target for the federal funds rate unchanged at its May meeting sustained a positive trend in the stock market through the end of May. Profit worries caused a sell-off in technology stocks in early-June, while declining interest rates served to stabilize the broader market. Technology stocks rallied the stock market to new highs in mid-July, as a number of technology companies posted favorable second quarter earnings. Favorable inflation data, including second quarter GDP growth slowing to an annual rate of 2.2 percent, versus 4.9 percent in the first quarter, and comments by the Federal Reserve Chairman which indicated that an increase in interest rates was not imminent, spurred bond and stock prices strongly higher during the second half of July. A decline in the July 1997 unemployment rate reversed the positive bond and stock market trends in early-August, as inflation concerns became more prominent. A declining dollar against the yen and mark sharpened the decline in bond prices, with the 30-year U.S. Treasury bond increasing from 6.32 percent at the end of July to 6.66 percent as of August 8, 1997. The sell-off in bonds pulled stock prices lower as well. While bond prices firmed in mid-August, notable volatility was evident in the stock market. The DJIA moved at least 100 points for five consecutive days from August 18, 1997 through August 21, 1997, which set a record for volatility. Profit worries among some of the large blue chip companies and mixed inflation readings were factors contributing to the roller-coaster performance of the stock market. Despite strengthening bond prices, stocks traded lower through the end of August. Bond prices moved higher on inflation data which showed that prices stayed low during the second quarter, even though second quarter GDP growth was revised upward to annual rate of 3.6 percent compared to an original estimate of 2.2 percent. Volatility returned to the stock market in early-September, with the DJIA posting a record breaking point increase of 257.36 on September 2, 1997. The rally was sparked by economic data that indicated manufacturing growth slowed in August, thereby easing investors' inflation worries. However, the rally was not RP Financial, LC. Page 4.10 sustained, as the DJIA pulled back following the one day rally. The pull back was largely attributed to profit worries, which more than offset favorable inflation news indicated by a slight increase in the national unemployment rate for August (4.9 percent in August versus 4.8 percent in July). Stocks fluctuated in a narrow trading range in mid-September, in anticipation of third quarter earnings and August economic data. The low inflation reading indicated by the August consumer price index sent stock and bond prices sharply higher on September 16, 1997, with the DJIA posting a 175 point increase and the yield on the 30-year U.S. Treasury bond posting its second largest decline in the 1990s. Uncertainty over third quarter earnings provided for a mixed stock market performance towards the end of September, while generally favorable inflation readings pushed interest rates to their lowest level in two years. The release of September employment data on October 3, 1997 caused bond and stock prices to soar in early trading activity, as the September unemployment rate was unchanged at 4.9 percent and fewer jobs than expected were added to the economy during September. However, most of the initial gains were erased by news of rising tensions between Iraq and Iran. Congressional testimony by the Federal Reserve Chairman, in which he indicated that it would be difficult to maintain the current balance between tight labor markets and low inflation, caused stock and bond prices to skid in mid-October 1997. Disappointing third quarter earnings in the technology sector sharpened the sell-off in the stock market, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average ("DJIA") posting consecutive losses of more than 1.0 percent on October 16 and 17. Stocks bounced back in early-week trading the following week, reflecting positive third quarter earnings surprises posted by some of the blue chip stocks. However, the recovery was abbreviated by global selling pressure led by the decline in the Hong Kong stock market, as the DJIA posted a two-day loss approximating 320 points on October 23 and 24, 1997. The sell-off in the world financial markets turned into a rout on the following Monday, with a 5.8 percent decline in the Hong Kong stock market fueling the largest ever point decline in the DJIA. On October 24, the DJIA declined 554 points or 7.2 percent. While the selling was broad based, technology stocks sensitive to Asian demand experienced some of the sharpest declines. The turmoil in the stock market provided for a sharp rally in U.S. Treasury bonds, reflecting a flight to quality by skittish investors. The stock market recovered strongly the day after the record breaking point decline, as the DJIA surged a record breaking 337 points on October 28. Comparatively, bond prices declined sharply on October 28, as investors pulled out of the Treasury market to reinvest into the stock market. Market conditions remained uneven through the week ended October 31, 1997, which was followed by a soaring stock market on November 3, 1997. The DJIA posted a 232 point increase on November 3, which was supported by a resurgence in the Hong Kong market. Following the one day rally, volatility returned to the stock market through mid-November. The market's uneven performance was largely attributable to the ongoing influence of the international markets, particularly the Asian and Latin American markets. In mid- RP Financial, LC. Page 4.11 November, the yield on the 30-year bellwether Treasury issue approached 6.0 percent, its lowest level since February 1996. Advances in the bond market provided for a generally positive stock market environment in the second half of November, with bank and technology issues being among the strongest performers. Renewed confidence that the Asian governments would control the region's financial problems furthered the stock market rally in early-December. Despite a sell off in the bond market caused by the November unemployment rate dropping to its lowest level since October 1973, the Dow Jones Industrial showed surprising strength and closed almost 99 points higher on December 5, 1997. Stocks declined the following week, as earnings concerns, particularly in the technology sector, overshadowed a rally in the bond market. Positive inflation news and world market turmoil caused investors to dump stocks in favor of bonds, which served to push the yield on the bellwether 30-year Treasury bond below 6.0 percent in mid-December. On December 12, 1997, the DJIA closed at 7838.30, an increase of 24.3 percent from year a year ago. Similar to the overall stock market, the market for thrift stocks has generally been favorable during the past twelve months. Similar to the overall stock market, thrift prices traded lower in early-December 1996. Profit taking and expectations of higher interest rates were factors contributing to the pull back in thrift issues. However, bullish sentiment for thrift stocks heightened at the beginning of 1997, as investors reacted positively to favorable inflation data and generally strong fourth quarter earnings. The rally in thrift issues was driven by the large California institutions, reflecting expectations that there would be further consolidation among the large California thrifts. The acquisition speculation for the large California thrifts became a reality in mid-February, as H.F. Ahmanson's unsolicited offer to acquire Great Western Financial sent the SNL Index soaring in mid-February. Stable interest rates and acquisition activity supported higher thrift prices in early-March 1997; however, like the stock market in general, the peak in thrift prices was followed by a sharp sell-off in mid-March. In fact, interest-rate sensitive issues were among the sectors hardest hit by the revised January retail sales report, as the 30-year bond approached 7.0 percent. Interest-rate sensitive issues continued to experience selling pressure in late-March and early-April, as signs of a strengthening economy pushed interest rates higher. The sell-off in thrift stocks culminated on April 11, 1997, as interest rates increased sharply on news of the higher than expected rise in core producer prices for March. Thrift prices edged modestly higher in mid-April, reflecting generally favorable first quarter earnings and a slight decline in interest rates following the release of economic data which showed that inflation was low. Favorable inflation data and the budget agreement provided for a more substantial rally in thrift stocks in late-April and early-May, as interest-rate sensitive issues were bolstered by declining interest rates. Thrift stocks continued to trend higher through June and early-July 1997, based on the improved interest rate outlook and an overall positive outlook for the economy. Generally favorable second quarter RP Financial, LC. Page 4.12 earnings and the 30-year U.S. Treasury bond yield declining below 6.50 percent served to further boost thrift prices in mid-July, with the declining interest rate environment serving to sustain the rally in thrift prices through the end of July. Thrift prices generally declined during the first half of August, due to higher interest rates and profit taking. From July 31, 1997 to August 15, 1997, the SNL Index declined by 3.7 percent. Thrift prices recovered modestly during the second half of August, as the Federal Reserve left short-term interest rates unchanged at its August meeting. Thrift stocks participated in the one day stock market rally on September 2, 1997, as evidenced by a 1.95 percent increase in the SNL Index. News of NationsBank's proposed acquisition of Barnett Banks for more than four times its book value appears to have further contributed to the one day run-up in thrift prices. In contrast to the overall stock market, thrift prices continued to move higher following the one day rally in the DJIA. Stable interest rates and acquisition news sustained the positive market for thrift issues. The decline in interest rates following the release of the August consumer price index in mid-September served to further the rally in thrift prices. During late-September and early-October, interest-rate sensitive issues in general benefited from the declining interest rate environment and expectations of strong third quarter earnings. The upward trend in thrift prices stalled in mid-October 1997, as interest rates moved higher following warnings by the Federal Reserve Chairman of inflation creeping back into the economy due to the tight labor markets. Thrift stocks gyrated in conjunction with the overall market in late-October, with the SNL index declining by 5.2 percent on October 27 and increasing by 2.4 percent on October 28. Thrift prices further recovered on October 29, which was supported by a rally in the bond market. Aided by the favorable interest rate climate, thrift stocks posted further gains in early-November and then retreated modestly in mid-November. Thrift and bank issues declined on concerns that a slowing U.S. economy could lead to weaker loan demand and higher delinquency rates. However, led by the strengthening bond market, thrift and bank issues moved higher during late-November and early-December. Acquisition news also contributed to the upturn in bank and thrift prices, as two major bank acquisitions were announced for relatively high price-to-book multiples. First Union Corp.'s proposed acquisition of CoreStates Financial ($47 billion in assets) was for 539 percent of book value, while First American Corporation's proposed acquisition for Deposit Guaranty Corporation ($6.8 billion in assets) was for 419 percent of book value. Those deals, along with speculation of possible other major thrift and bank acquisitions, filtered into the prices of bank and thrift issues in general. Concern of relatively high valuations and speculation of weaker economic growth leading to an increase in commercial loan problems somewhat offset the declining interest rate environment, as thrift issues traded in a narrow range in mid-December. The SNL Index for all publicly-traded thrifts closed at 783.3 on December 12, 1997, an increase of 66.2 percent from one year ago. RP Financial, LC. Page 4.13 B. The New Issue Market -------------------- In addition to thrift stock market conditions in general, the new issue market for converting thrifts is also an important consideration in determining the Association's pro forma market value. Over the past year, the market for converting thrift issues has generally been favorable. Fewer offerings, more attractive pricing, lower interest rates, and the general positive trend in thrift prices facilitated a healthy market for converting thrift issues during the fourth quarter of 1996. In general, the market environment for converting thrift issues has been highly receptive throughout 1997, with the most recently completed conversions experiencing very strong market interest. Since mid-September 1997, conversion issues that have been completed and began trading exhibited an average price increase of 40.7 percent on the first day of trading. As shown in Table 4.2, the average one week change in price for publicly-traded conversion offerings completed during the latest three month period ending December 12, 1997 equaled positive 45.3 percent. The average pro forma price/tangible book and price/earnings ratios of the recent conversions was 80.5 percent and 18.1 times, generally reflecting closings at the top of the super range. In examining the current pricing characteristics of institutions completing their conversions during the last three months (see Tabley4.3), we note there exists a considerable difference in pricing ratios compared to the universe of all publicly-traded thrifts. Specifically, the current average P/B ratio of the conversions completed in the most recent three month period of 135.02 percent reflects a discount of 15.3 percent from the average P/B ratio of all publicly-traded SAIF-insured thrifts (equal to 159.37 percent), and the core P/E ratio of the recent conversions was at a notable premium to the all SAIF-insured public average core P/E ratio of 20.43 times. Only three out of the five recently converted companies were trading at a core P/E multiple of less than 30 times. The pricing ratios of the better capitalized but lower earning (based on return on equity measures) recently converted thrifts suggest that the investment community has determined to discount their stocks on a book basis until the earnings improve through redeployment and leveraging of the proceeds over the longer term. In determining our valuation adjustment for marketing of the issue, we considered trends in both the overall thrift market and the new issue market. The overall market for thrift stocks is considered to be healthy, as thrift stocks are currently exhibiting pricing ratios that are approaching historically high levels. Investor interest in the new issue market has been favorable, as most of the recently completed offerings have been oversubscribed and have recorded healthy price increases in initial post-conversion trading activity.

Copyright (c) 1997 by RP Financial, LC. RP Financial, LC. Page 4.16 C. Acquisition Market ------------------ Also considered in the valuation was the potential impact on Gloversville Federal's stock price of recently completed and pending acquisitions of other thrifts operating in Gloversville Federal's market area. As shown in Exhibit IV-4, there were 10 completed deals, and 2 pending transactions involving publicly-traded savings institutions, although most of the acquisition activity was in the New York metropolitan area, which is relatively distant from the Association's market. The recent acquisition activity involving New York savings institutions may imply a certain degree of acquisition speculation for the Association's stock. To the extent that acquisition speculation may impact the Association's offering, we have largely taken this into account in selecting primarily New York or Mid-Atlantic U.S. savings institutions that also experience a degree of acquisition speculation. Taking these factors and trends into account, RP Financial concluded that a slight upward adjustment was appropriate in the valuation analysis for purposes of marketing of the issue. 8. Management ---------- By virtue of its asset size, Gloversville Federal's management team is constrained by the resources available relative to other larger institutions. However, Gloversville Federal under the leadership of new management (since 1994) appears to have the experience and expertise in all of the key areas of the Association's operations. In this regard, the Association's CEO has decades of banking industry experience and management has recently been bolstered by the employment of a commercial lending officer and an asset review officer. The financial results of the Peer Group companies indicate that they have been effectively managed, as all of the Peer Group companies maintained adequate levels of capital and recorded positive earnings, favorable interest rate risk and favorable credit quality. There are two principal areas where the Association's management fall short of the Peer Group companies. First, management depth is necessarily limited in view of the Association's smaller asset size. Additionally, management has a more limited track record with the Association, particularly since much of management's time since 1994 has been devoted to resolving asset quality problems and developing and implementing new policies and procedures. Accordingly, we have applied a moderate downward adjustment for this factor. RP Financial, LC. Page 4.17 9. Effect of Government Regulation and Regulatory Reform ----------------------------------------------------- The 1996 recapitalization of the SAIF insurance fund has removed the difference in deposit insurance costs between BIF and SAIF-insured institutions. As a fully-converted SAIF-insured institution, Gloversville Federal will operate in substantially the same regulatory environment as the Peer Group members -- all of whom are adequately capitalized institutions and are operating with no apparent restrictions. Exhibit IV-6 reflects the Association's pro forma regulatory capital ratios. On balance, RP Financial concluded that no adjustment to the Association's value was warranted for this factor. Summary of Adjustments - ---------------------- Overall, we believe the Association's pro forma market value should take into account the valuation adjustments relative to the Peer Group: Key Valuation Parameters: Valuation Adjustment ------------------------- -------------------- Financial Condition Significant Downward Profitability, Growth and Viability of Earnings Significant Downward Asset Growth Moderate Downward Primary Market Area No Adjustment Dividends Moderate Downward Liquidity of the Shares Moderate Downward Marketing of the Issue Slight Upward Management Moderate Downward Effect of Government Regulations and Regulatory Reform No Adjustment Valuation Approaches - -------------------- In applying the accepted valuation methodology promulgated by the OTS and adopted by the FDIC, i.e., the pro forma market value approach, we considered the three key pricing ratios in valuing Gloversville Federal's to-be-issued stock -- the price/earnings ("P/E"), price/book ("P/B"), and price/assets ("P/A") approaches -- all performed on a pro forma basis including the effects of the conversion proceeds. In computing the pro forma impact of the conversion and the related pricing ratios, we have incorporated the valuation parameters disclosed in Gloversville Federal's prospectus for offering expenses, and the effective tax rate and stock benefit plan assumptions (summarized in Exhibits IV-7 and IV-8). We have utilized the reinvestment rate set forth in the prospectus, the one year T-Bill rate as of September 30, 1997 of 5.44 percent, which is consistent with the near term anticipated use of proceeds. With regard to the employee stock ownership plan and stock reward plans, we have performed the valuation assuming the ESOP purchases an amount equal to 8.0 percent of the offering (10 RP Financial, LC. Page 4.18 year amortization) and the MRP acquires 4.0 percent of the offering. In our estimate of value, we assessed the relationship of the pro forma pricing ratios relative to the Peer Group and the recent conversions. RP Financial's valuation placed emphasis on the following: o P/E Approach. The P/E approach is generally the best indicator of long-term value for a stock. However, the usefulness of the P/E approach in Gloversville Federal's valuation is diminished by a number of factors including the following: (1) Gloversville Federal has reported operating losses over the last two fiscal years; and (2) the high level of NPAs and the low reserve coverage ratio introduce a significant element of volatility into future earnings. At the same time, management is projecting positive, albeit moderate, earnings in the future based on the targeted improvement in asset quality. However, such projections are based on numerous assumptions and projections, all of which are subject to change. Accordingly, we have deemphasized the earnings approach in the derivation of value relative to its importance in the valuation of most entities with more consistent earnings streams. o P/B Approach. P/B ratios have generally served as a useful benchmark in the valuation of thrift stock, with the greater determinant of long term value being earnings. RP Financial considered the P/B approach to be a reliable indicator of value given current market conditions, particularly the market for new conversions (witness that a number recent conversions reported not meaningful P/E ratios). For this reason, coupled with the Association's current low earnings levels led us to place relatively greater weight on pro forma book value (fully converted basis), with the emphasis on tangible book value (fully converted basis), in the determination of Gloversville Federal's value. o P/A Approach. P/A ratios are generally a less reliable indicator of market value, as investors do not place exclusive weight simply on the size of total assets as a determinant of market value. Furthermore, this approach does not take into account the amount of stock purchases funded by deposit withdrawals, thus understating the pro forma P/A ratio. Investors place significantly greater weight on book value and earnings. The Association intends to adopt Statement of Position ("SOP" 93-6), which will cause earnings per share computations to be based on shares issued and outstanding excluding shares owned by an ESOP where there is not a commitment to release such shares. For the purpose of preparing the pro forma pricing tables and exhibits, we have reflected all shares issued in the offering including shares purchased by the ESOP as outstanding to capture the full dilutive impact of such stock to the Association's shareholders. However, we have considered the impact of adoption of SOP 93-6 on the Association in the determination of the Association's pro forma value. Based on the application of the three valuation approaches, taking into consideration the valuation adjustments discussed above, and placing the greatest weight on the P/TB and P/E approaches, followed by the P/A approach, RP Financial concluded that the pro forma market value of the Association's conversion stock is $5,000,000 at the midpoint at this time. RP Financial, LC. Page 4.19 1. Price-to-Tangible Book ("P/TB"). The application of the P/TB valuation method requires calculating the Association's pro forma market value by applying a valuation P/TB ratio to Gloversville Federal's pro forma tangible book value. Based on the $5,000,000 midpoint valuation, Gloversville Federal's pro forma P/TB ratio was 69.72 percent. In comparison to the average P/TB ratio for the Peer Group of 130.46 percent, Gloversville Federal's valuation reflected a discount of 46.55 percent. RP Financial considered a discount under the P/TB approach to be reasonable in light of the valuation adjustments discussed previously. Given the historically high P/TB pricing for thrifts in today's market, a valuation discount under the P/TB approach could only be expected and is consistent with the aftermarket trading of new conversion issues. Given the emphasis on limiting near term aftermarket trading in the revised appraisal guidelines, RP Financial also considered the pro forma P/TB ratios of recent conversions in its valuation analysis. It is these companies that provide a proxy for aftermarket trading for new thrift issues. At the midpoint value of $5,000,000, Gloversville Federal's pro forma P/TB ratio of 69.72 percent represented a discount of 46.1 percent from the 131.15 percent average P/TB ratio of the recently converted thrifts (see Table 4.3). At the super maximum of the valuation range, Gloversville Federal's pro forma P/B ratio of 76.97 percent is discounted by approximately 43.5 percent from the new conversions. 2. Price-to-Earnings ("P/E"). The application of the P/E valuation method requires calculating the Association's pro forma market value by applying a valuation P/E multiple (fully converted basis) to the pro forma earnings base. Ideally, the pro forma earnings base is composed principally of the Association's recurring earnings base, that is, earnings adjusted to exclude any one-time non-operating items, plus the estimated after-tax earnings benefit of the reinvestment of net conversion proceeds. In the case of Gloversville Federal however, the earnings approach is rendered less meaningful by a number of factors including: (1) the operating losses reported by the Association's for the last two fiscal years; and (2) the high level of NPAs, and low reserve coverage (management has indicated however that loan loss provisions are expected to be lower in the future). Based on Gloversville Federal's trailing twelve month earnings, and incorporating the impact of the pro forma assumptions discussed previously, the Association's pro forma P/E multiple (fully converted basis) at the $5,000,000 midpoint value is not meaningful (i.e., the Association's earnings multiple is negative). Incorporating pre-conversion earnings projected in the business plan of $92,000 (six months annualized results), the pro forma P/E multiple is equal to 54.3 times. 3. Price-to-Assets ("P/A"). The P/A valuation methodology determines market value by applying a valuation P/A ratio to the Association's pro forma asset base, conservatively assuming no deposit withdrawals are made to fund stock purchases. In all likelihood there will be deposit withdrawals, which results in RP Financial, LC. Page 4.20 understating the pro forma P/A ratio which is computed herein. At the midpoint of the valuation range, Gloversville Federal's value equaled 7.70 percent of pro forma assets. Comparatively, the Peer Group companies exhibited an average P/A ratio of 17.88 percent, which implies a 56.9 percent discount being applied to the Association's pro forma P/A ratio. Valuation Conclusion - -------------------- Based on the foregoing, it is our opinion that, as of December 12, 1997, the aggregate pro forma market value of the Association was $5,000,000 at the midpoint, equal to 500,000 shares offered at $10.00 per share. Pursuant to the conversion guidelines, the 15 percent offering range includes a minimum of $4,250,000 and a maximum of $5,750,000. Based on the $10.00 per share offering price, this valuation range equates to an offering of 425,000 shares at the minimum to 575,000 shares at the maximum. The Holding Company's offering also includes a provision for a super maximum, which would result in an offering size of $6,612,500, equal to 661,250 shares at the $10.00 per share offering price.

Estimates for 1990-95 reflect county population estimates available as of March 1997. The population estimates for the United States, Utah, and Cache, UT, 1991-94, have been adjusted by BEA for consistency with a special, upward adjustment made by the Census Bureau to its 1995 estimate for Cache County. Additionally, as a result of special and test censuses conducted in 1995, the Census Bureau reduced substantially the 1995 population estimates for Yuma, AZ; DeSoto, LA; Dorchester, SC and Montgomery, TN, but made no adjustments to the estimates for the other years. For these counties, BEA was unable to make adjustments to the population estimates in time for this release, and the estimates of per capita personal income are discontinuous between 1994 and 1995. BEA's further adjustments to the population estimates for 1991-94 will be reflected in the release of State per capita personal income on September 19, 1997 and in the release of local area per capita personal income in the Spring of 1998. 4/ Type of income divided by population yields a per capita for that type of income. 5/ Excludes limited partners. 6/ Cibola, NM was separated from Valencia in June 1981, but in these estimates Valencia includes Cibola through the end of 1981. 7/ La Paz county, AZ was separated from Yuma county on January 1, 1983.

Estimates from 1988 forward separate Aleutian Islands Census Area into Aleutians East Borough and Aleutians West Census Area. Estimates for 1991 forward separate Denali Borough from Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area and Lake and Peninsula Borough from Dillingham Census Area.
