ALLIANCE BANCORP, INC. OF PENNSYLVANIA

To Our Stockholders:
As a stockholder of record as of the close of business on
March 12, 2007, you were previously sent a Notice of Annual
Meeting of Stockholders, dated March 30, 2007, and a proxy
statement relating to the Annual Meeting of Alliance Bancorp,
Inc. of Pennsylvania to be held on April 25, 2007. At the Annual
Meeting, we will elect directors and ratify the appointment of
the Corporation's independent registered public accounting firm.
In the proxy statement, we identified the Corporation's auditors
for fiscal 2006, Deloitte & Touche LLP, as the firm to be
considered and ratified at the Annual Meeting.
However, in accordance with the Corporation's Audit
Committee Charter, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors
has selected Beard Miller Company LLP to serve as the
Corporation's independent registered accounting firm for the year
ending December 31, 2007. The Audit Committee notified Deloitte
& Touche LLP of its decision on April 9, 2007. The decision to
engage Beard Miller LLP was made by the Audit Committee after a
careful review of proposals from various independent registered
public accounting firms, including Deloitte & Touche LLP, to
provide accounting services to the Corporation.
Deloitte & Touche LLP performed audits of the Corporation's
consolidated financial statements for the years ended December
31, 2006 and 2005. Deloitte & Touche LLP's reports did not
contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and were
not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or
accounting principles. During the two years ended December 31,
2006, and from December 31, 2006 through the effective date of
Deloitte & Touche LLP's termination, there have been no
disagreements between the Corporation and Deloitte & Touche LLP
on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial
statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which
disagreements would have caused Deloitte & Touche LLP to make
reference to the subject matter of such disagreements in
connection with its report.
As a result of the selection of Beard Miller Company LLP,
enclosed with this communication is a new proxy card reflecting
the proposal to ratify the appointment by the Audit Committee of
the Board of Directors of Beard Miller Company LLP as the
Corporation's independent registered accounting firm for the year
ending December 31, 2007, rather than Deloitte & Touche LLP.
Previously executed proxies will not be voted on this proposal,
but will be voted in accordance with your instructions with
respect to the election of directors. It should be noted that
the Corporation is a majority-owned subsidiary of Alliance Mutual
Holding Company which owns 55.0% of the outstanding common stock
as of the voting record date. Because Alliance Mutual Holding
Company intends to vote its shares in favor of the ratification
of Beard Miller Company LLP, a quorum is assured at the Annual
Meeting and the ratification of Beard Miller Company LLP is
assured of obtaining the necessary votes for approval.
BY ORDER OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
/s/ Kathleen P. Lynch
