                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                   ------------------------------------------
                                  (Unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of GA Financial, Inc. (the "Company") and its subsidiaries, Great
American Federal Savings and Loan Association (the "Association") and New Eagle
Capital, Inc.

In the opinion of the management of the Company, the accompanying consolidated
financial statements include all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a
fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for the
periods presented.  All significant intercompany transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation.  Certain information and footnote disclosures
normally included in financial statements presented in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted.  It is suggested
that the accompanying consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction
with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K.  Currently, other than investing
in various securities, the Company does not directly transact any material
business other than through the Association.  Accordingly, the discussion herein
addresses the operations of the Company as they are conducted through the
Association.

2. Capital Requirements and Regulatory Restrictions

As a savings and loan holding company, the Company is not required to maintain
any minimum level of capital; however, the Association is subject to various
regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies.
Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory -
and possibly additional discretionary - actions by regulators that, if
undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Association's financial
statements.  Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for
prompt corrective action, the Association must meet specific capital guidelines
that involve quantitative measures of the Association's assets, liabilities, and
certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting
practices.  The Association's capital amounts and classification are also
subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk
weightings, and other factors.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy
require the Association to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the
table below) of total risk-based, Tier I risk-based, and Tier I leverage
capital.  It is management's opinion that the Association meets all capital
adequacy requirements to which it is subject.

As of March 31, 2000, the most recent notification from the Office of Thrift
Supervision (the "OTS") categorized the Association as well capitalized under
the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action.  To be categorized as
well capitalized, the Association must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier I
risk-based, and Tier I leverage ratios as set forth in the table.  There are no
conditions or events since that notification that management believes have
changed the Association's category.

3. Changes in Accounting Principles

SFAS No. 133; "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," as
amended by SFAS No. 137, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities - Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133," requires
that derivative instruments be carried at fair value on the balance sheet.  The
statement continues to allow derivative instruments to be used to hedge various
risks and sets forth specific criteria to be used to determine when hedge
accounting can be used.  The statement also provides for offsetting changes in
fair value or cash flows of both the derivative and the hedged asset or
liability to be recognized in earnings in the same period; however, any changes
in fair value or cash flow that represent the ineffective portion of a hedge are
required to be recognized in earnings and cannot be deferred.  For derivative
instruments not accounted for as hedges, changes in fair value are required to
be recognized in earnings.

The provisions of this statement, as amended, will be adopted by the Company for
its quarterly and annual reporting beginning January 1, 2001.  The impact of
adopting the provisions of this statement on the Company's financial position,
results of operations and cash flow subsequent to the effective date is not
currently estimable and will depend on the financial position of the Company and
the nature and purpose of the derivative instruments in use by management at
that time.

During March 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB
Interpretation No. 44; "Accounting for Certain Transactions involving Stock
Compensation-an interpretation of APB Opinion No. 25".  This Interpretation
clarifies the application of APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees" (APB 25) for only certain issues.  The issues addressed by this
Interpretation were resolved within the framework of the intrinsic value method
prescribed by APB 25, and do not amend APB 25.  Among the issues this
Interpretation clarifies are (a) the definition of employee for purposes of
applying APB 25, (b) the criteria for determining whether a plan qualifies as a
noncompensatory plan, (c) the accounting consequence of various modifications to
the terms of a previously fixed stock option or award, and (d) the accounting
for an exchange of stock compensation awards in a business combination.

This Interpretation is effective July 1, 2000, but certain conclusions in this
Interpretation cover specific events that occur after either December 15, 1998,
or January 12, 2000.  To the extent that this Interpretation cover events
occurring during the period after December 15, 1998, or January 12, 2000, but
before the effective date of July 1, 2000, the effects of applying this
Interpretation are recognized on a prospective basis from July 1, 2000.  The
Company has not determined the impact of the adoption of the Interpretation at
this time.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
- -------  -----------------------------------------------------------------------
          of Operations
          -------------

General
- -------

The Company's and the Association's consolidated results of operations are
dependent primarily on net interest income, which is the difference between the
interest income earned on interest-earning assets, such as loans and
investments, and the interest expense incurred on interest-bearing liabilities,
such as deposits and other borrowings.  The Company and the Association are
referred hereinto collectively as the "Company".  The Company also generates
non-interest income such as service fees, trading accounts profits, data-
processing fees from its data-processing division, and other income such as the
increase in surrender values in Bank owned Life Insurance.  The Company
previously announced that it will no longer continue to provide data processing
services for other companies.  The information services department will
concentrate on providing data processing services to the Company only.  The
Company's operating expenses consist primarily of employee compensation,
occupancy expenses, federal deposit insurance premiums, data processing
expenses, and other general and administrative expenses.  The Company's results
of operations are also significantly affected by general economic and
competitive conditions, particularly changes in market interest rates,
government policies and actions of regulatory agencies.

Comparison of Financial Condition as of March 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Company's total assets decreased $2.7 million or 0.3% to $880.3 million as
of March 31, 2000.

Cash decreased $2.6 million or 9.7% to $24.1 million as of March 31, 2000.
These funds were primarily used to originate mortgage loans and purchase
investment securities.

Investment securities classified as available for sale decreased $1.7 million or
1.1% to $149.3 million as of March 31, 2000 due to maturities and sales.

Mortgage-related securities classified as available for sale decreased $11.7
million or 3.8% to $295.0 million as of  March 31, 2000.

As of March 31, 2000, the Company had $3.9 million in "Held to Maturity"
investment securities and $732,000 in "Held for Trading" securities.  There were
no securities in either classification for December 31, 1999.  All of the "Held
for Trading" securities are equity securities and have trading account profits
of $84,000 as of March 31, 2000.

The following table presents details of the Company's investment securities and
mortgage-related securities as of
March 31, 2000 (Dollars in Thousands):

loans.

As of March 31, 2000, education loans held for sale increased $1.4 million or
7.3% to $20.6 million due to originations of such loans.  The Company will  sell

</TABLE>

Accrued interest receivable increased $202,000 or 3.3% to $6.3 million as of
March 31, 2000.

FHLB stock remained the same for both periods.  The Company is required to own
FHLB stock based upon levels of borrowings.  As the use of FHLB advances
increases, the amount of required stock ownership also increases.

Foreclosed assets are substantially the same for both periods.  The Company is
in the process of selling all foreclosed assets.

Prepaid expenses and other assets increased $191,000  or 1.1% to $17.8 million
as of March 31, 2000.

Total deposits increased $8.9 million or 1.8% to $504.0 million as of March 31,
2000.

                                       9
<PAGE>

Borrowed funds decreased $11.1 million or 3.7% to $286.0 million as of March 31,
2000.  This is a result of management reducing the FHLB borrowings to targeted
levels.  Management continues to utilize FHLB borrowings to fund asset growth,
particularly investments in mortgage-related and investment securities.  FHLB
borrowings can be invested at yields higher than the cost of the borrowed funds
thereby increasing net interest income.  The Company is utilizing both short and
long term borrowings to fund asset growth.  The Company continually monitors the
interest rate sensitivity of this strategy with the primary objective to
prudently structure the balance sheet so that movements of interest rates on
assets and liabilities are correlated and produce a reasonable net interest
margin even in periods of volatile interest rates.  Interest rate risk is
considered to be the Company's most significant market risk that could
materially impact the Company's financial position or results of operations.

Accrued interest payable increased $1.5 million or 57.6% to 4.1 million as of
March 31, 2000.  This was a result of the timing of accrued interest payable
being credited to deposit accounts and borrowings.

Other liabilities decreased $213,000 or 10.2% to $1.9 million as of March 31,
2000.  The change is primarily the result of the tax payments of accrued income
taxes.

Total shareholders' equity decreased $1.8 million or 2.2% to $82.8 million as of
March 31, 2000.  This was primarily due to the purchase of $2.8 million of
treasury stock, payment of $1.0 million in cash dividends offset by $1.6 million
in net income, $98,000 in stock based compensation, and a $321,000 increase in
accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

Comparison of the Consolidated Results of Operation for the Period of Three
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Months Ended March 31, 2000 and 1999
- ------------------------------------

Net Income.  Net income was $1.6 million for the three month period ended March
31, 2000, a decrease of $64,000 or 3.8% for the same period in 1999.

Interest Income.  Interest income totaled $14.6 million for the three month
period ended March 31, 2000, an increase of $1.2 million or 9.3% compared to the
$13.4 million recorded for the three month period ended March 31, 1999.  The
increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the average balances of
interest earning assets.  The average balances of interest-earning assets for
the three month period ended March 31, 2000 increased to $833.8 million, an
increase of $30.7 million or 3.8%, compared to the average balance of interest-
earning assets of  $803.1 million for the same period in 1999.  Weighted average
yield on interest-earning assets for the three month period ended March 31, 2000
was 7.21% compared to 6.85% for the comparable period in 1999.  Interest on
loans receivable increased $469,000.  The average balance of loans increased
$20.8 million while the average yield increased from 7.37% to 7.47%.  Interest
on mortgage related securities increased $795,000 or 17.6% to $5.3 million at
March 31, 2000.  Average balances on mortgage-related securities increased $7.8
million or 2.8% to $289.5 million while the yield increased from 6.42% to 7.34%.
This is due to higher yields on new purchases.  Interest on investment
securities increased $83,000 or 3.5% for the period due to purchases.  Interest
on bank deposits decreased $100,000 due to lower balances.

Interest Expense.  Total interest expense for the three month period ended March
31, 2000 was $8.9 million, an increase of $1.0 million or 13.2% compared to $7.8
million for the same period in 1999.  Average balances of interest-bearing
liabilities for the three month period ended March 31, 2000 increased $64.9
million compared to the period of three months ended March 31, 1999.  Average
interest-bearing deposits increased $19.5 million or 4.3% to $470.3 million.
Management currently believes it is efficient to fund asset growth through FHLB
borrowings.  Management believes that FHLB borrowings can be invested at yields
higher than the cost of the borrowed funds thereby increasing net interest
income.

Net Interest Income.  Net interest income before provision for loan losses for
the three month period ended March 31, 2000 was $5.7 million, an increase of
$214,000 or 3.9% , compared to $5.5 million recorded for the same period in
1999.

Provision for Loan Losses.  The provision for loan losses during the period of
three months ended March 31, 2000 was $180,000 compared to $60,000 for the three
month period ending March 31, 1999.  The allowance for loan losses to gross
loans receivable and total non-performing assets was 0.51% and 155%,
respectively, as of March 31, 2000 as compared to 0.46% and  76%, respectively
as of March 31, 1999.  The allowance for loan losses is maintained at an amount
management considers appropriate to cover estimated losses on loans receivable
which are deemed probable and estimable based on information currently known to
management.  While management believes the Association's allowance for loan
losses is sufficient to cover losses inherent in its loan portfolio at this
time, no assurances can be given that the Association's level of allowance for
loan losses will be sufficient to cover future loan losses incurred by the
Association, or that future adjustments to the allowance for loan losses will
not be necessary if economic and other conditions differ substantially from the
economic and other conditions analyzed by management to determine the current
level of the allowance for loan losses.

Non-interest Income.  Non-interest income consists of service fees, gains and
losses on the sale of loans and securities, fees from data processing services
sold and other miscellaneous items.  For the three month period ended March 31,
2000 non-interest income was $1.0 million, compared to $819,000 recorded for the
same period in 1999.  The increase is primarily due to increases of $42,000 in
net gain on sales of investment securities, an increase in trading account
profits of $84,000, an increase of $236,000 on service fees on products,
partially offset by a reduction in data processing fees of $177,000.  The
Company previously announced that it will no longer continue to provide data
processing services for other companies.  The information services department
will concentrate on providing data processing services to the Company only.

Non-interest Expense.  Total non-interest expense was $4.4 million for the three
month period ending March 31, 2000 and $4.0 million for the same period in 1999.
The increase of $395,000 was primarily due to a $180,000 termination expense
from the closing of a former in-store branch.

Income Tax Expense.  Income tax expense of $510,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 2000 resulted in an effective tax rate of 24.0%.  The income tax
expense recorded for the period of three months ended March 31, 1999 of $550,000
is an effective tax rate of 24.6%.

Average Balance Sheets and Analysis of Net Interest Income
- ----------------------------------------------------------

Net interest income represents the difference between income on interest-earning
assets and expense on interest-bearing liabilities.  Net interest income depends
on the volume of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and
the rates earned or paid on them.  The following table presents certain
information relating to the Company's average consolidated statements of
financial condition and consolidated statements of income for the three month
period ended March 31, 2000 and 1999.  The yield and costs are derived by
dividing income or expense by the average balance of assets or liabilities,
respectively.  Average balances are derived from daily average balances.  The
average balance of loans receivable includes loans on which the Company has
discontinued accruing interest.  The yields and costs include fees and expenses
which are considered adjustments to yield.

The following table presents average balances,  yields on interest-earning
assets and average balances and costs of interest-bearing liabilities at March
31, 2000 and March 31, 1999 (Dollars in Thousands).

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Association's primary sources of funds are deposits; principal and interest
payments on loans, and mortgage-related securities; proceeds from maturing
investment securities; advances from the FHLB; and other borrowed funds. While
scheduled maturities of investments and amortization of loans are predictable
sources of funds, deposit flows and prepayments on mortgage loans and mortgage-
related securities are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic
conditions and competition.

The Association is required to maintain an average daily balance of liquid
assets as a percentage of net withdrawable deposit accounts plus short-term
borrowings as defined by the OTS regulations. The minimum required liquidity is
currently 4%. The Association's liquidity for the month of March 31, 2000 was
35.08% . The high level of liquidity was due to management's maintenance of
higher than required levels of liquidity in order to better manage interest rate
risk by investing in investments that are eligible to be included in liquidity
calculations.

As of March 31, 2000, the Association had commitments to originate loans of
$12.5 million and purchase loans of $10.7 million. The Association anticipates
that it will have sufficient funds available to meet these commitments.

As of March 31, 2000, the Association's equity capital exceeded each of the OTS
capital requirements. OTS requires Tier I capital to adjusted assets of 4.00%
and the Association had 8.28%. Tier I capital to risk-based assets requirement
is 4.00% and the Association had 22.21%. The total capital to risk-based assets
requirement is 8.00% and the Association had 22.91%.

Year 2000 Compliance

In 1996, the Company's data processing division began to address the risks
associated with the coming millennium. The Company completed the preparations
related to this event in 1999. These preparations involved examining all
computer hardware and software as well as third-party systems and equipment to
identify and remediate date recognition problems. In addition, the Company
developed contingency plans to address potential risks in the event of Year 2000
failures. To date, the Company has experienced no known disruptions as a result
of the Year 2000 date change.

Although considered unlikely, unanticipated problems could still occur,
including problems associated with non-compliant third-parties and disruptions
to the economy in general, despite efforts to date to remediate affected systems
and develop contingency plans. Management will continue to monitor all business
processes throughout 2000 to address any issues and ensure all processes
continue to function properly.

Through 1999, the Year 2000 project totaled approximately $250,000 in costs
primarily related to internal and external personnel who worked on the project.
No additional material costs are estimated to be incurred in future periods
related to this event.

Private Securities Litigation Reform Act Safe Harbor Statement. This report
contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Company intends such forward-looking
statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking
statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995,
and is including this statement for purposes of these safe harbor provisions.
Forward-looking statements, which are based on certain assumptions and describe
future plans, strategies and expectations of the Company, are generally
identified by use of the words "believe," "expect," "intend," "anticipate,"
"estimate," "project," or similar expressions. The Company's ability to predict
results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently
uncertain. Factors which could have a material adverse effect on the operations
of the Company and the subsidiaries include, but are not limited to, changes in:
interest rates, general economic conditions, legislative/regulatory changes,
monetary and fiscal policies of the U.S. Government, including policies of the
U.S. Treasury and the Federal Reserve Board, the quality or composition of the
loan or investment portfolios, demand for loan products, deposit flows,
competition, demand for financial services in the Company's market area and
accounting principles and guidelines. These risks and uncertainties should be
considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should
not be placed on such statements. Further information concerning the Company and
its business, including additional factors that could materially affect the
Company's financial results, is included in the Company's 1999 Form 10-K filing.

The Company does not undertake--and specifically disclaims any obligation--to
publicly release the result of any revisions which may be made to forward-
looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such
statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events.



Other Developments
- ------------------

The Board of Directors declared a dividend of $.18 per share to stockholders of
record on May 12, 2000, payable on May 23, 2000.

Item 3.   Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
- -------   ----------------------------------------------------------

Management is responsible for monitoring and limiting the Company's exposure to
interest rate risk within established guidelines while maximizing net interest
income. The Company will continue to monitor the Company's interest rate
sensitivity with the primary objective to prudently structure the balance sheet
so that movements of interest rates on assets and liabilities are highly
correlated and produce a reasonable net interest margin even in periods of
volatile interest rates. Further discussion on market risk is in the Company's
December 31, 1999 SEC Form 10-K filing.
