6. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic net income per share is based upon the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding, while diluted net income per share is based
upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and
common share equivalents that would arise from the exercise of dilutive
securities. All dilutive shares consist of options the exercise price
of which is lower than the market price of the common stock covered
thereby at the dates presented.
The calculated basic and diluted earnings per share ("EPS") is as
follows:

7. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company applies APB Opinion No. 25 in accounting for stock options
and, accordingly, no compensation expense has been recognized in the
financial statements. Had the Company determined compensation expense
based on the fair value at the grant date for its stock option in
accordance with the fair value method in SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation," the Company's net income and earnings per
share would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated below.

expectations. The Company's actual results could differ materially from
management's expectations. Such forward-looking statements include statements
regarding management's current intentions, beliefs or expectations as well as
the assumptions on which such statements are based. These forward-looking

control. Stockholders and potential stockholders are cautioned that any such
forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve
risks and uncertainties, and that actual results may differ materially from
those contemplated by such forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause
future results to vary from current management expectations include, but are not
limited to, general economic conditions, legislative and regulatory changes,
monetary and fiscal policies of the federal government, changes in tax policies,
rates and regulations of federal, state and local tax authorities, changes in
interest rates, deposit flows, the cost of funds, demand for loan products,
demand for financial services, competition, changes in the quality or

COMPARISON OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AT JUNE 30, 2003 AND SEPTEMBER 30, 2002
Total assets of the Company increased $35.8 million, or 6.9%, from $518.3
million at September 30, 2002 to $554.1 million at June 30, 2003. The growth was
due primarily to increases in mortgage-related securities available for sale of
$44.9 million, or 52.4% and in investment securities held to maturity of $3.1
million, partially offset by decreases in investment securities available for
sale of $8.4 million, or 10.5%, and mortgage-related securities held to maturity
of $4.7 million, or 52.5%. Although the Company's originations of single-family
residential loans have reached record levels for the fiscal year, the decision
to sell 30-year loans caused the loan portfolio balance to remain nearly at the
same level at September 30, 2002. The excess cash due to mortgage and
mortgage-related securities accelerated repayments was used to purchase
fixed-term mortgage-related securities with shorter term average lives. The
asset growth was funded by increased deposits, and to a lesser extent, the use
of Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") advances.
Deposits increased $22.9 million, or 6.9%, from $330.8 million at September 30,
2002 to $353.7 million at June 30, 2003. The increase resulted from increases of
$18.5 million, or 12.0%, in core deposits (which consist of passbook, money
market, NOW and non-interest bearing accounts) reflecting the Company's emphasis
on commercial business accounts and the continued uncertain climate in the
equities market. FHLB advances increased $13.0 million, or 10.3%, to fund asset
growth with overnight borrowings.
Stockholders' equity increased $679,000 to $33.5 million primarily due to net
income of $2.1 million partially offset by the cost of repurchasing 53,994
shares of common stock, the reduction in accumulated other comprehensive income
of $379,000 and dividends paid of $599,000.

COMPARISON OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30,
2003 AND 2002
NET INCOME.
Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 was $665,000, or $.33 per diluted
share as compared to net income of $743,000, or $.36 per diluted share for the
quarter ended June 30, 2002. Net income for the nine months ended June 30, 2003
was $2.1 million, or $1.05 per diluted share as compared to $2.1 million, or
$1.02 per diluted share for the same period in 2002.
NET INTEREST INCOME.
Net interest income decreased $613,000, or 16.8%, to $3.0 million and $83,000,
or .83%, to $9.9 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2003,
respectively. Such decreases were primarily due to $933000, or 12.4%, and $1.9
million, or 8.4%, decreases in interest income, for the three and nine months
ended June 30, 2003, respectively, which were partially offset by a $320,000, or
8.2%, and $1.8 million, or 14.4%, decreases in interest expense during such
periods. The average balance of interest-earning assets increased $35.6 million
and $25.2 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2003,
respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2002. Calculated on a
tax-equivalent basis, the weighted average yield earned on interest-earning
assets for the three months ended June 30, 2003 decreased 118 basis points to
5.23% compared to the 2002 period and 84 basis points to 5.65% for the nine
months ended June 30, 2003. In addition, net interest expense was affected by an
increase in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities of $34.3 million
and $23.7 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2003,
respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2002. For the three months
ended June 30, 2003, the weighted average rate paid on such liabilities
decreased 51 basis points to 2.97% from 3.48% for the same period in the prior
fiscal year and 71 basis points to 3.09% for the nine months ended June 30, 2003
as compared to 3.80% for the nine months ended June 30, 2002. Due to the low
interest rate environment existing during the fiscal 2003 periods, the interest
rate compression being experienced by the Company is a result of the accelerated
rate of repayments and prepayments of loans and mortgage-related securities
requiring the Company to reinvest the resulting proceeds at current lower rates
without a corresponding decrease in the rates paid on deposits and borrowings.
The interest rate spread and net interest margin, on a tax-equivalent basis,
decreased to 2.26% and 2.44%, respectively, for the three months ended June 30,
2003 as compared to 2.93% and 3.15%, respectively, for the same period in 2002.
The interest rate spread and net interest margin, on a tax-equivalent basis,
were 2.56% and 2.74%, respectively, for the nine months ended June 30, 2003 as
compared to 2.69% and 2.92%, respectively, for the same period in 2002.
Management anticipates that the net interest spread and margin will compress
over the next quarter as assets continue to reprice downward.
PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES.
Provisions for loan losses are charged to earnings to maintain the total
allowance for loan losses at a level believed by management to cover all known
and inherent losses in the loan portfolio which are both probable and reasonably
estimable. Management's analysis includes consideration of the Company's
historical experience, the volume and type of lending conducted by the Company,
the amount of the Company's classified assets, the status of past due principal
and interest payments, general economic conditions, particularly as they relate
to the Company's primary market area, and other factors related to the
collectibility of the Company's loan and loans held for sale portfolios. The
Company's provision for loan losses increased to $195,000 for the three months
ended June 30, 2003 as compared to $135,000 for the same period in 2002. For the
nine months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 the provision for loan losses amounted
to $585,000 and $405,000, respectively. The increases in the 2003 periods were
due, to a large part, to the three non-performing assets aggregating $2.4
million discussed below.
- 10 -
At June 30, 2003, non-performing assets totaled $4.0 million or .73% of total
assets, a decrease from $5.4 million at September 30, 2002. The decrease in
non-performing assets was primarily due to a $1.3 million commercial real estate
loan returning to current status combined with a decrease in non-performing
residential loans. The Company's coverage ratio, which is the ratio of the
allowance for loan losses to non-performing assets, was 71.3% and 43.8% at June
30, 2003 and September 30, 2002, respectively. Included in non-performing assets
are three commercial real estate loans totaling $2.4 million. The Bank owns a
25% participation interest totaling $1.9 million in two loans which are secured
by an 18-hole golf course and a golf house located in Avondale, Pennsylvania.
The golf facility is fully operational and continues to generate revenues.
However, in connection with the operations of the facility, the Company has
incurred its representative share of expenses totaling of approximately $85,000
and $274,000 for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2003. Management
believes that the Company will continue to incur expenses in the upcoming
quarters in connection with the operation of the golf facility. The other
participating loan of $495,000, which represents a 25% participation interest,
is secured by a partially completed storage facility in Clifton Heights,
Pennsylvania. The lead lender on all three loans is in the process of
foreclosing on the loans. Based on recent appraisals and other factors,
management presently believes the Company has provided adequate reserves for
these properties. However, there can be no assurances that additions to such
reserves will not be necessary in future periods.
Management continues to review its loan portfolio to determine the extent, if
any, to which further additional loss provisions may be deemed necessary. There
can be no assurance that the allowance for losses will be adequate to cover
losses which may in fact be realized in the future and that additional
provisions for losses will not be required.
NON-INTEREST INCOME.
Non-interest income increased $542,000, or 118.9%, to $998,000 for the three
months ended June 30, 2003 as compared to the same period in 2002. The increase
for the three months ended June 30, 2003 was primarily due to a $205,000
increase in the gain on sales of fixed-rate investment securities and a $155,000
increase in the gain on sale of loans resulting from the increase in the amount
of long-term, fixed-rate single-family residential loans being originated for
sale into the secondary market. Loan sales are being undertaken to reduce the
Bank's potential interest rate risk resulting from future increases in interest
rates. However, with the recent surge in interest rates, the Bank expects the
pace of the refinancing activity to slow down, decreasing the volume of loans
being sold by the Company. In addition, due to the overall improvement in the
U.S. equity market, the Company experienced a $179,000 increase in the cash
surrender value of certain insurance policies held by the Bank to fund
retirement benefit plans. For the nine months ended June 30, 2003, non-interest
income increased $789,000, or 57.8%, to $2.2 million as compared to the same
period during the prior year. Increases in income of $352,000, $275,000 and
$174,000 were recognized from the sale of loans, the sale of investment and
mortgage-related securities and the increase in cash surrender value,
respectively, during the nine months ended, June 30, 2003 as compared to the
same period in 2002.
- 11 -
NON-INTEREST EXPENSE.
Non-interest expense decreased $33,000, or 1.1%, during the three months ended
June 30, 2003 as compared to the same period in 2002. The decreases consisted
primarily of $14,000, $55,000, $49,000, $24,000, $18,000 and $69,000 in
occupancy and equipment, professional fees, advertising, real estate operations,
minority interest in expense of subsidiaries and other non-interest expense,
respectively, partially offset by a $186,000, or 14.9%, increase in compensation
and employee benefits and $10,000, or 10%, increase in data processing. For the
nine months ended June 30, 2003, non-interest expense increased $379,000, or
4.5%, primarily due to increases of $397,000, or 11.6%, and $193,000, or 13.1%,
in compensation and employee benefits and other non-interest expenses,
respectively, partially offset by a $133,000, or 20.2%, decrease in professional
fees and a $73,000, or 21.1%, decrease in advertising. The increase in salary
and employee benefits reflected normal merit increases, the hiring of additional
personnel and higher employee benefit costs. The increase in other non-interest
expense during the nine months ended June 30, 2003 was primarily due to expenses
related to the operation of the three non-performing commercial real estate
loans previously discussed.
INCOME TAX EXPENSE.
Income tax expense decreased $20,000 to $153,000 for the three months ended June
30, 2003 compared to the same period in 2002 while increasing $89,000 to
$520,000 for the nine months ended June 30,2003. The decrease for the third
quarter of fiscal 2003 reflected the decrease in income before income taxes. For
the nine months ended June 30, 2003, the increase in taxes resulted from the
reduction in tax-free income as well as the increase in income before income
taxes.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES.
The Company has identified the evaluation of the allowance for loan losses as a
critical accounting policy where amounts are sensitive to material variation.
This policy is significantly affected by management judgment and uncertainties
and there is a likelihood that materially different amounts would be reported
under different, but reasonably plausible, conditions or assumptions. The
allowance for loan losses is considered a critical accounting estimate because
there is a large degree of judgment in (i) valuing the underlying collateral
securing the loans, (ii) determining the appropriate reserve factor to be
applied to specific risk levels for criticized and classified loans (special
mention, substandard, doubtful and loss) and (iii) determining reserve factors
to be applied to pass loans based upon loan type. Management carefully monitors
the credit quality of the loan portfolio and makes estimates about the amount of
credit losses that have been incurred at each financial statement date.
Management evaluates the fair value of collateral supporting the impaired loans
using independent appraisals and other measures of fair value. This process
involves subjective judgments and assumptions and is subject to change based on
factors that may be outside the control of the Company.
- 12 -
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES.
The Company's liquidity, represented by cash and cash equivalents, is a product
of its operating, investing and financing activities. The Company's primary
sources of funds are deposits, amortization, prepayment and maturities of
outstanding loans and mortgage-related securities, sales of loans, maturities of
investment securities and other short-term investments, borrowing and funds
provided from operations. While scheduled payments from the amortization of
loans and mortgage-related securities and maturing investment securities and
short-term investments are relatively predictable sources of funds, deposit
flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates,
economic conditions and competition. In addition, the Company invests excess
funds in overnight deposits and other short-term interest-earning assets which
provide liquidity to meet lending requirements. The Company has been able to
generate sufficient cash through its deposits as well as borrowings to satisfy
its funding commitments. At June 30, 2003, the Company had short-term borrowings
(due within one year or currently callable) outstanding of $113.9 million, all
of which consisted of advances from the FHLB of Pittsburgh.
Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term function of business
management. Excess liquidity is generally invested in short-term investments
such as overnight deposits. On a longer term basis, the Company maintains a
strategy of investing in various lending products, mortgage-related securities
and investment securities. The Company uses its sources of funds primarily to
meet its ongoing commitments, to fund maturing certificates of deposit and
savings withdrawals, fund loan commitments and maintain a portfolio of
mortgage-related and investment securities. At June 30, 2003, total approved
loan commitments outstanding amounted to $13.9 million, not including loans in
process. At the same date, commitments under unused lines of credit amounted to
$29.6 million. Certificates of deposit scheduled to mature in one year or less
at June 30, 2003 totaled $116.3 million. Based upon its historical experience,
management believes that a significant portion of maturing deposits will remain
with the Company.
As of June 30, 2003, the Bank had regulatory capital which was in excess of
applicable requirements. The Bank is required under applicable federal banking
regulations to maintain tangible capital equal to at least 1.5% of its adjusted
total assets, core capital equal to at least 4.0% of its adjusted total assets
and total capital to at least 8.0% of its risk-weighted assets. At June 30,
2003, the Bank had tangible capital and core capital equal to 8.0% of adjusted
total assets and total capital equal to 15.0% of risk-weighted assets.
INVESTMENT SECURITIES.
At June 30, 2003, the Company's investment securities available for sale
portfolio, including short-term investments, were carried at a fair value of
$72.2 million and had an amortized cost of $69.7 million. The average credit
quality on the portfolio is AA. The net unrealized gain on our investment assets
at June 30, 2003 was $2.5 million, or 3.6% of the amortized cost basis. The net
unrealized gain included gross unrealized gains of $4.0 million and gross
unrealized losses of $1.5 million.
The Company reviews the securities in our fixed income portfolio on a periodic
basis to specifically review individual securities for any meaningful decline in
market value below amortized cost. The analysis addresses all securities whose
fair value is significantly below amortized cost at the time of the analysis,
with additional emphasis placed on securities whose fair value has been below
amortized cost for an extended period of time. As part of the periodic review
process, the Company utilizes the expertise of outside professional asset
managers who provide an updated assessment of each issuer's current credit
situation based on recent issuer activities, such as quarterly earnings
announcements or other pertinent financial news for the issuer, recent
developments in a particular industry, economic outlook for a particular
industry and rating agency actions.
- 13 -
In addition to issuer-specific financial information and general economic data,
the Company also considers the ability and intent of its operations to hold a
particular security to maturity or until the market value of the security
recovers to a level in excess of the carrying value.
Of the seven securities that have been in an unrealized loss position, six
securities have an unrealized loss of less than $400,000 and/or less than 20% of
their amortized cost. These six securities have an average unrealized loss per
security of approximately $123,000 and have fair values at September 30, 2002
that are 85% or more of the amortized cost basis. There is only one security
with an unrealized loss in excess of $1.0 million at June 30, 2003 with a market
value of $3.9 million and a cost of $5.0 million. The security is an equity
security and is rated AAA. The Company has no current plans to dispose of this
security.
For all securities that are in an unrealized loss position for an extended
period of time, an evaluation is performed of the specific events attributable
to the decline in the market value of the security. Factors that are considered
are the length of time and extent to which the security's market value has been
below cost as well as the general market conditions, industry characteristics
and the fundamental operating results of the issuer to determine if the decline
is due to changes in interest rates, changes relating to a decline in credit
quality of the issuer, or general market conditions. An additional part of the
evaluation is the Company's intent and ability to hold the security until its
market value has recovered to a level at least equal to the amortized cost. If
the security's unrealized loss is other than temporary, a realized loss is
recognized in the period in which the decline in value is determined to be other
than temporary.
Based on our evaluation as of June 30, 2003, the Company determined the declines
in market value of securities of these seven securities were temporary. The
Company will continue to review these securities and evaluate the temporary
nature of the impairment on a quarterly basis.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS.
In January 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 ("FIN 46"),
"Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities." The interpretation clarifies the
application of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, "Consolidated Financial
Statements," to certain entities in which equity investors do not have the
characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient
equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional
subordinated financial support from other parties. The Company has participated
in the issue of trust preferred securities though a trust established for such
purpose. The Company is currently assessing the trust preferred securities
structure and the continued consolidation of the related trust pursuant to FIN
No. 46. Management is still evaluating the impact to the Company's financial
condition as a result of the provisions of FIN No. 46.
In April 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 149, "Amendment of
Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS No. 149
amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative
instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other
contracts and for hedging activities under Statement No. 133, "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," resulting in more consistent
reporting of contracts as either derivatives or hybrid instruments. SFAS No. 149
is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003, and
should be applied prospectively. Implementation issues that have been effective
for fiscal quarters that began prior to June 15, 2003 should continue to be
applied in accordance with their respective effective dates. The Company's
adoption if SFAS No. 149 as of July 1, 2003, did not have a material impact on
the Company's financial statements.
- 14 -
In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150 "Accounting for Certain Financial
Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity." This statement
requires that certain financial instruments, which under prior accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America could be
designated as equity, be classified as liabilities on the balance sheet. SFAS
No. 150 is effective for certain financial instruments entered into or modified
after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective July 1, 2003. The Company
currently classifies its trust preferred securities in the mezzanine section of
the Consolidated Balance Sheet. These securities will be reclassified as debt
under the provisions of SFAS No. 150, effective July 1, 2003. The adoption of
SFAS No. 150 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's
consolidated financial statements.
IMPACT OF INFLATION AND CHANGING PRICES.
The Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company and related notes presented
herein have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles which requires the measurement of financial position and operating
results in terms of historical dollars, without considering changes in the
relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation.
Unlike most industrial companies, substantially all of the assets and
liabilities of a financial institution are monetary in nature. As a result,
interest rates have a more significant impact on a financial institution's
performance than the effects of general levels of inflation. Interest rates do
not necessarily move in the same direction or in the same magnitude as the price
of goods and services, since such prices are affected by inflation to a larger
extent than interest rates. In the current interest rate environment, liquidity
and the maturity structure of the Company's assets and liabilities are critical
to the maintenance of acceptable performance levels.
- 15 -
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
For a discussion of the Company's asset and liability management policies, see
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operation" in the Company's Annual Report for the year ended September 30, 2002.
The Company utilizes reports prepared by the Office of Thrift Supervision
("OTS") to measure interest rate risk. Using data from the Bank's quarterly
thrift financial reports, the OTS models the net portfolio value ("NPV") of the
Bank over a variety of interest rate scenarios. The NPV is defined as the
present value of expected cash flows from existing assets less the present value
of expected cash flows from existing liabilities plus the present value of net
expected cash inflows from existing off-balance sheet contracts. The model
assumes instantaneous, parallel shifts in the U.S. Treasury Securities yield
curve of either 100 to 300 basis points up or 100 basis points down, and in 100
basis point increments.
The interest rate risk measures used by the OTS include an "Exposure Measure" or
"Post-Shock" NPV ratio and a "Sensitivity Measure." The "Post-Shock" NPV ratio
is the net present value as a percentage of assets over the various yield curve
shifts. A low "Post-Shock" NPV ratio indicates greater exposure to interest rate
risk and can result from a low initial NPV ratio or high sensitivity to changes
in interest rates. The "Sensitivity Measure" is the decline in the NPV ratio, in
basis points, caused by a 2% increase or decrease in rates, whichever produces a
larger decline. The following sets forth the Bank's NPV as of June 30, 2003.

As of June 30, 2003, the Bank's NPV was $43.7 million or 7.67% of the market
value of assets. Following a 200 basis point increase in interest rates, the
Company's "post shock" NPV was $34.4 million or 6.28% of the market value of
assets. The change in the NPV ratio or the Company's sensitivity measure was
(1.39)%.
As of March 31, 2003, the Bank's NPV was $42.0 million or 7.57% of the market
value of assets. Following a 200 basis point increase in interest rates, the
Company's "post shock" NPV was $31.5 million or 5.92% of the market value of
assets. The change in the NPV ratio or the Company's sensitivity measure was
(1.66)%.
