                                        PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

GENERAL

    Pennwood Savings Bank (the "Savings Bank") is a Pennsylvania-chartered
stock savings bank which was originally founded in 1910 as a
Pennsylvania-chartered mutual savings association.  The Savings Bank converted
from a Pennsylvania-chartered mutual savings association to a
Pennsylvania-chartered mutual savings bank in July 1993.  In July 1996, the
Savings Bank converted from a Pennsylvania-chartered mutual savings bank to a
Pennsylvania-chartered stock savings bank.  The Savings Bank conducts business
from its main office in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and two branch offices located
in Kittanning, Pennsylvania.  The Savings Bank's deposits are insured by the
Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF") of the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation ("FDIC") to the maximum extent permitted by law.  At June 30, 1996,
the Savings Bank had $46.9 million of total assets, $37.3 million of total
deposits and $4.1 million of total net worth.

    The Savings Bank is primarily engaged in attracting deposits from the
general public through its offices and using those and other available sources
of funds to originate loans secured by single-family residences as well as
consumer loans (consisting primarily of home equity and improvement loans).  To
a lesser extent, the Savings Bank originates loans secured by existing
multi-family residential and commercial real estate, as well as construction
loans and commercial business loans.  The Savings Bank also invests its funds in
U.S. Government and agency obligations, as well as corporate and municipal debt
securities, mortgage-backed securities and various short-term investments.

    The Savings Bank is a community-oriented savings bank which emphasizes
customer services and convenience.  As part of this strategy, the Savings Bank
has sought to develop a wide variety of products and services which meet the
needs of its retail customers.  The Savings Bank generally has sought to achieve
long-term financial strength and stability by increasing the amount and
stability of its net interest income.  In pursuit of these goals, the Bank has
adopted a number of complementary business strategies which emphasize retail
lending and deposit products and services traditionally offered by savings
institutions.

    The main office of the Savings Bank is located at 683 Lincoln Avenue,
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15202, and its telephone number is (412) 761-1234.

LENDING ACTIVITIES

    GENERAL.  At June 30, 1996, the Savings Bank's total loan portfolio
amounted to $23.5 million, or 50.1% of total assets at that date.  The Savings
Bank has traditionally concentrated its lending activities on conventional first
mortgage loans secured by single-family residential properties and consumer
loans (consisting primarily of home equity and

                                       1

<PAGE>

improvement loans).  Consistent with its lending orientation, as of June 30, 
1996, $9.6 million or 40.8% of the Savings Bank's total loan portfolio 
consisted of single-family residential loans and $8.8 million or 37.7% of the 
Savings Bank's total loan portfolio consisted of consumer and other loans.  
To a lesser extent, the Savings Bank also originates multi-family 
residential, commercial real estate and residential construction loans.  At 
June 30, 1996, such loan categories amounted to $85,000, $2.6 million and 
$2.4 million, respectively, or 0.36%, 11.0% and 10.2% of the total loan 
portfolio, respectively.  Substantially all of the Savings Bank's total loan 
portfolio consists of conventional loans, which are loans that are neither 
insured by the Federal Housing Administration nor partially guaranteed by the 
Department of Veteran Affairs.  Historically, the Savings Bank's lending 
activities have been concentrated in its primary market area of Allegheny 
County and Armstrong County, Pennsylvania and portions of the surrounding 
counties. The Savings Bank estimates that a substantial portion of its 
mortgage loans are secured by properties located in its primary market area, 
and that substantially all of its non-mortgage loan portfolio consists of 
loans made to residents and businesses located in such primary market area.

    Scheduled contractual principal repayments do not reflect the actual 
maturities of loans.  The average maturity of loans is substantially less 
than their average contractual terms because of prepayments and, in the case 
of conventional mortgage loans, due-on-sale clauses, which generally give the 
Savings Bank the right to declare a loan immediately due and payable in the 
event, among other things, that the borrower sells the real property subject 
to the mortgage and the loan is not repaid.  The average life of mortgage 
loans tends to increase when current mortgage loan rates are substantially 
higher than rates on existing mortgage loans and, conversely, decrease when 
rates on existing mortgages are substantially lower than current mortgage 
loan rates (due to refinancings of adjustable-rate and fixed-rate loans at 
lower rates). 

    ORIGINATION, PURCHASE AND SALE OF LOANS.  The lending activities of the 
Savings Bank are subject to the written, non-discriminatory, underwriting 
standards and loan origination procedures established by the Savings Bank's 
Board of Directors and management.  Loan originations are obtained from a 
variety of sources, including existing customers, builders, realtors, walk-in 
customers, loan officers and advertising.    

    Loan applications originated by the Savings Bank are generally processed 
at the Savings Bank's main office in Pittsburgh.  The loan applications are 
initially processed by loan processors and, once completed, are submitted to 
the Savings Bank's President and Chief Executive Officer or Vice President of 
Lending, which officers may approve loans up to $150,000.  Loans between 
$150,000 to $250,000 are submitted for approval to the Board of Director's 
Loan Committee, while loans in excess of $250,000 must be approved by the 
Savings Bank's Board of Directors.

    Property appraisals on the real estate and improvements securing the
Savings Bank's single-family residential loans are made by independent
appraisers.  Appraisals are performed in accordance with federal regulations and
policies.  The Savings Bank obtains title insurance policies on first mortgage
real estate loans originated by it.  Borrowers also must obtain hazard insurance
prior to closing and, when required, flood insurance.  

                                       4

<PAGE>

Borrowers may be required to advance funds, with each monthly payment of 
principal and interest, to a loan escrow account from which the Savings Bank 
makes disbursements for items such as real estate taxes and mortgage 
insurance premiums as they become due.

    Historically, the Savings Bank has originated substantially all of the 
loans in its portfolio and has held them until maturity.  Nevertheless, the 
Savings Bank's residential loans are generally made on terms, conditions and 
documentation which permit the sale to the Federal Home Loan Mortgage 
Corporation ("FHLMC"), the Federal National Mortgage Association ("FNMA") and 
other institutional investors in the secondary market.  However, the Savings 
Bank has not sold any loans in the secondary market since July 1993 when it 
sold $123,000 of single-family residential loans to the FHLMC.  Sales of 
loans to date generally have been under terms which do not provide any 
recourse to the Savings Bank by the purchaser in the event of default on the 
loan by the borrower.  Although the Savings Bank is not currently selling 
loans in the secondary market, it may in the future consider resuming the 
sale of loans to the FHLMC and other institutional investors as market 
conditions permit.

    Historically, the Savings Bank has not been an active purchaser of loans. 
However, in May 1996, the Savings Bank purchased a $7,000 participation in a 
commercial loan, and prior to 1994 purchased participation interests in loans 
secured by commercial real estate and equipment-secured commercial leases.  
Such loans were generally purchased from an investment consulting and loan 
servicing firm located in Monroeville, Pennsylvania.  The Savings Bank ceased 
purchasing such loans and participation interests as a result of an increase 
in delinquencies and because some of the loans and leases it had acquired 
began to sustain some losses.  At June 30, 1996, loans purchased and serviced 
by others totalled $2.1 million, of which $60,000 was classified as 
non-performing.

    1996 and 1995, respectively.

    A savings institution generally may not make loans to one borrower and 
related entities in an amount which exceeds 15% of its unimpaired capital and 
surplus, although loans in an amount equal to an additional 10% of unimpaired 
capital and surplus may be made to a borrower if the loans are fully secured 
by readily marketable securities.  At June 30, 1996, the Savings Bank's limit 
on loans-to-one borrower was approximately $622,000.  Nevertheless, except in 
certain limited circumstances, the Savings Bank's loan policy currently 
limits its loans to one borrower to $300,000.  At June 30, 1996, the Savings 
Bank's five largest loans or groups of loans-to-one borrower, including 
persons or entities related to the borrower, amounted to $1.5 million in the 
aggregate, ranged from an aggregate of $202,000 to $462,000 and were secured 
primarily by single-family residential and commercial real estate.  At June 
30, 1996, two of the loans which comprise the Savings Bank's largest 
loans-to-one borrower were classified as non-performing.  In addition, as of 
such date, the Savings Bank's largest individual loan was approximately 60 
days delinquent.


                                       6

<PAGE>

    The Savings Bank's largest individual loan consists of a single 
commercial real estate loan secured by a fraternity house located at 
Pennsylvania State University, State College, Pennsylvania.  The Savings Bank 
purchased the loan in 1990 from an investment consulting and loan servicing 
firm and the principal borrowers have been delinquent with respect to 
repayment throughout the term of the loan.  The loan had a principal balance 
of $405,000 at June 30, 1996.  The principal borrowers are currently 
marketing the property for sale and the Savings Bank does not presently 
anticipate any loss of principal at this time. The loan on the fraternity 
house has matured and the Savings Bank is currently negotiating a 
modification of the terms to bring the loan current and reduce the principal 
balance.

    The Savings Bank's largest loans-to-one borrower consists of five loans 
which are secured by single-family residential rental properties.  The five 
loans had an aggregate principal balance of $462,000 as of June 30, 1996 and 
two of the loans were over 90 days delinquent (with an aggregate principal 
balance of $100,000) and one of the loans was 60 days delinquent (with a 
principal balance of $133,000) as of such date.  All five of the loans are 
secured by properties located within the Savings Bank's primary market area.  
The principal borrower (which consists of a partnership which is affiliated 
with the investment consulting and loan servicing firm with respect to which 
the  Savings Bank has purchased commercial real estate and commercial 
business loans in the past) is currently negotiating with the Savings Bank in 
order to bring all of the loans current and, accordingly, the Savings Bank 
does not presently anticipate any loss of principal at this time.

    The Savings Bank's third largest loans-to-one borrower consists of a 
single commercial real estate loan secured by an office building located in 
Meadville, Pennsylvania.  The Savings Bank purchased a 90% participation in 
the loan in 1971 and purchased the remainder in 1994 from the RTC.  The loan 
had a principal balance of $234,000 as of June 30, 1996.  The loan has always 
performed in accordance with its terms.

    SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL REAL ESTATE LOANS.  The Savings Bank has 
historically concentrated its lending activities on the origination of loans 
secured by first mortgage liens on existing single-family residences located 
in its market area.  At June 30, 1996, $9.6 million or 40.8% of the Savings 
Bank's total loan portfolio consisted of permanent single- family residential 
real estate loans.

    Since 1984, the Savings Bank has been emphasizing for its portfolio 
single-family residential mortgage loans which provide for periodic 
adjustments to the interest rate.  The loans emphasized by the Savings Bank 
have up to 30-year terms and an interest rate which adjusts every year in 
accordance with a designated index (the weekly average yield on U.S. Treasury 
securities adjusted to a constant comparable maturity of one year, as made 
available by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System ("Federal 
Reserve Board")).  Such loans currently have a 2% cap on the amount of any 
increase or decrease in the interest rate per year, and a 6% limit on the 
amount by which the interest rate can increase or decrease over the life of 
the loan.  The Savings Bank has not engaged in the practice of using a cap on 
the payments that could allow the loan balance to increase rather 

                                       7

<PAGE>

than decrease, resulting in negative amortization. Most single-family 
residential loans originated by the Savings Bank can, upon payment of a fee, 
be converted into fixed-rate loans during certain periods. Approximately 
79.0% of the permanent single-family residential loans in the Savings Bank's 
loan portfolio at June 30, 1996 had adjustable interest rates.

    The demand for adjustable-rate loans in the Savings Bank's primary market 
area has been a function of several factors, including the level of interest 
rates, the expectations of changes in the level of interest rates and the 
difference between the interest rates and loan fees offered for fixed-rate 
loans and adjustable-rate loans.  The relative amount of fixed-rate and 
adjustable-rate residential loans that can be originated at any time is 
largely determined by the demand for each in a competitive environment.

    Adjustable-rate loans decrease the risks associated with changes in 
interest rates but involve other risks, primarily because as interest rates 
rise, the payment by the borrower rises to the extent permitted by the terms 
of the loan, thereby increasing the potential for default.  At the same time, 
the marketability of the underlying property may be adversely affected by 
higher interest rates.  The Savings Bank believes that these risks, which 
have not had a material adverse effect on the Savings Bank to date, generally 
are less than the risks associated with holding fixed-rate loans in an 
increasing interest rate environment.

    The Savings Bank continues to originate long-term, fixed-rate loans in 
order to provide a full range of products to its customers, but generally 
only under terms, conditions and documentation which permit the sale thereof 
in the secondary market.  At June 30, 1996, approximately $2.0 million or 
21.0% of the permanent single-family residential loans in the Savings Bank's 
portfolio consisted of loans which provide for fixed rates of interest.  
Although these loans provide for repayments of principal over a fixed period 
of up to 30 years, it is the Savings Bank's experience that such loans remain 
outstanding for a substantially shorter period of time.

    The Savings Bank is permitted to lend up to 100% of the appraised value 
of the real property securing a residential loan (referred to as the 
loan-to-value ratio); however, if the amount of a residential loan originated 
or refinanced exceeds 90% of the appraised value, the Savings Bank is 
required by federal regulations to obtain private mortgage insurance on the 
portion of the principal amount that exceeds 80% of the appraised value of 
the security property. Pursuant to underwriting guidelines adopted by the 
Board of Directors, the Savings Bank will occasionally lend up to 95% of the 
appraised value of the property securing a single-family residential loan.  
However, the Savings Bank generally requires private mortgage insurance on 
the portion of the principal amount that exceeds 80% of the appraised value 
of the secured property.

    MULTI-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE LOANS.  The Savings 
Bank originates mortgage loans for the acquisition and refinancing of 
multi-family residential properties and properties secured by commercial real 
estate.  The Savings Bank does not currently actively solicit such loans, 
which do not constitute an active part of its business, 

                                       8

<PAGE>

and generally offers such loans to accommodate its present customers and 
members of the local community. At June 30, 1996, $2.7 million or 11.4% of 
the Savings Bank's total loan portfolio consisted of loans secured by 
multi-family residential and commercial real estate.  The majority of the 
Savings Bank's multi-family residential and commercial real estate loans are 
secured by office buildings, restaurants, a fraternity house and other 
special purpose properties located within the Savings Bank's primary market 
area.  Management does not expect to emphasize multi-family residential and 
commercial real estate lending in the near future.

    A substantial portion of the Savings Bank's multi-family residential and 
commercial real estate loans within the Savings Bank's portfolio consist of 
whole loans and loan participations which were purchased by the Savings Bank 
through an investment consulting and loan servicing firm headquartered in 
Monroeville, Pennsylvania.  The Savings Bank has experienced a high level of 
delinquencies with respect to such purchased loans and, consequently, no 
longer engages in the purchase of commercial real estate loans.

    The Savings Bank requires appraisals of all properties securing 
multi-family residential and commercial real estate loans.  Appraisals are 
performed by an independent appraiser designated by the Savings Bank, all of 
which are reviewed by management.  The Savings Bank considers the quality and 
location of the real estate, the credit of the borrower, the cash flow of the 
project and the quality of management involved with the property.

    Although terms vary, multi-family residential and commercial real estate 
loans generally are amortized over a period of up to 25 years and mature in 
15 years or less.  The Savings Bank originates these loans with interest 
rates which adjust in accordance with a designated index, which generally is 
negotiated at the time of origination.  Loan-to-value ratios on the Savings 
Bank's multi-family residential and commercial real estate loans are 
currently limited to 80% or lower.  As part of the criteria for underwriting 
multi-family residential and commercial real estate loans, the Savings Bank 
generally imposes a specified debt coverage ratio (the ratio of net cash from 
operations before payment of debt service to debt service).  It is also the 
Savings Bank's general policy to obtain personal guarantees on its 
multi-family residential and commercial real estate loans from the principals 
of the borrower and, when this cannot be obtained, to impose more stringent 
loan-to-value, debt service and other underwriting requirements.

    Multi-family residential and commercial real estate lending entails 
different and significant risks when compared to single-family residential 
lending because such loans typically involve large loan balances to single 
borrowers and because the payment experience on such loans is typically 
dependent on the successful operation of the project or the borrower's 
business. These risks can also be significantly affected by supply and demand 
conditions in the local market for apartments, offices, warehouses or other 

                                       9

<PAGE>

commercial space.  The Savings Bank attempts to minimize its risk exposure by 
limiting the extent of the nonresidential lending generally.  In addition, 
the Savings Bank imposes loan-to-value ratios, requires conservative debt 
coverage ratios, and continually monitors the operation and physical 
condition of the collateral.  At June 30, 1996, $60,000 of the Savings Bank's 
multi-family residential and commercial real estate loans were 
non-performing, which constituted 11.8% of total non-performing loans at 
such date.  

    CONSTRUCTION LOANS.  The Savings Bank also originates residential 
construction loans to individuals who have a contract with a builder for the 
construction of their residence and, to a much lesser extent, to local real 
estate builders, generally with whom it has an established relationship.  The 
Savings Bank's construction loans are secured by property located primarily 
in the Savings Bank's primary market area.  At June 30, 1996, construction 
loans amounted to $2.4 million or 10.2% of the Savings Bank's total loan 
portfolio.  

    The Savings Bank's construction loans to individuals generally have 
variable interest rates during the construction period with payments being 
made monthly on an interest-only basis.  Construction loans to individuals 
are typically not made in connection with the granting of the permanent loan 
on the property.    

    Prior to making a commitment to fund a construction loan, the Savings 
Bank requires an appraisal of the property by an independent state-licensed 
and qualified appraiser.  The appraiser typically reviews and inspects each 
project at the commencement of construction and throughout the term of the 
construction loan.  Loan proceeds are disbursed after inspections of the 
project by the appraiser based on the percentage of completion.  

    Construction lending is generally considered to involve a higher level of 
risk as compared to permanent single-family residential lending, due to the 
concentration of principal in a limited number of loans and borrowers and the 
effects of general economic conditions on developers and builders.  Moreover, 
a construction loan can involve additional risks because of the inherent 
difficulty in estimating both a property's value at completion of the project 
and the estimated cost (including interest) of the project.  The nature of 
these loans is such that they are generally more difficult to evaluate and 
monitor. In addition, construction loans to a builder may not always be 
pre-sold and thus could pose a greater potential risk to the Savings Bank 
than construction loans to individuals on their personal residences.  
Nevertheless, the Savings Bank has attempted to minimize the foregoing risks 
by, among other things, limiting the extent of its construction lending as a 
proportion of the total loan portfolio and by limiting its construction 
lending solely to residential properties.

    CONSUMER LOANS.  The Savings Bank has been originating consumer loans in 
recent years in order to provide a full range of financial services to its 
customers and because such loans generally have shorter terms and higher 
interest rates than mortgage loans.  The consumer loans offered by the 
Savings Bank include home equity lines of credit, home improvement loans, 
unsecured personal loans and lines of credit and automobile loans.  At 

                                       10

<PAGE>


June 30, 1996, consumer loans amounted to $8.8 million or 37.7% of the 
Savings Bank's total loan portfolio.

    Home equity lines of credit are originated by the Savings Bank for up to 
80% of the appraised value, less the amount of any existing prior liens on 
the property.  The Savings Bank also offers home improvement loans in amounts 
up to 90% of the appraised value, less the amount of any existing prior 
liens.  In 1987, the Savings Bank entered into a contractual arrangement with 
an individual who assisted the Savings Bank in originating and servicing home 
improvement loans through a network of dealers.  Although the contractual 
arrangement was terminated in January 1994 (which resulted in the Savings 
Bank's recognition of $110,000 of expense during fiscal 1994), the Savings 
Bank continues to originate home improvement loans through a network of 
dealers which directly engage in the home improvement project.  Home equity 
lines of credit have a maximum term of ten years and interest rates which 
adjust in accordance with a designated prime rate.  Home improvement loans 
have a maximum term of ten years and generally carry fixed interest rates.  
In either case, the Savings Bank will secure the loan with a mortgage on the 
property (generally a second mortgage) and will originate the loan even if 
another institution holds the first mortgage.  At June 30, 1996, home equity 
lines of credit and home improvement loans totalled $7.8 million or 88.7% of 
the Savings Bank's total consumer loan portfolio.

    The Savings Bank also offers unsecured lines of credit up to $3,000 with 
terms up to 24 months as well as automobile loans up to $25,000 with terms up 
to 60 months.  The Savings Bank generally offers these loans to existing 
customers. At June 30, 1996, $998,000 or 11.3% of the Savings Bank's total 
consumer loan portfolio consisted of unsecured personal loans and lines of 
credit and automobile loans.

    The underwriting standards employed by the Savings Bank for consumer 
loans include a determination of the applicant's credit history and an 
assessment of the borrower's ability to meet existing obligations and 
payments on the proposed loan.  The stability of the applicant's monthly 
income may be determined by verification of gross monthly income from primary 
employment, and additionally from any verifiable secondary income.  
Creditworthiness of the applicant is of primary consideration; however, the 
underwriting process also includes a comparison of the value of any security 
in relation to the proposed loan amount. Upon termination of the Savings 
Bank's consulting arrangement discussed above, the Savings Bank revised its 
loan underwriting and collection policies in order to enhance its consumer 
loan underwriting standards and improve its collection efforts.

    Consumer loans generally have shorter terms and higher interest rates 
than mortgage loans but often involve more credit risk than mortgage loans 
because of the type and nature of the collateral and, in certain cases, the 
absence of collateral. In addition, consumer lending collections are 
dependent on the borrower's continuing financial stability, and thus are more 
likely to be adversely effected by job loss, divorce, illness and personal 
bankruptcy.  In most cases, any repossessed collateral for a defaulted 
consumer loan will not provide an adequate source of repayment of the 
outstanding loan balance because of improper repair 

                                       11

and maintenance of the underlying security.  The remaining deficiency often 
does not warrant further substantial collection efforts against the borrower. 
 The Savings Bank believes that the generally higher yields earned on 
consumer loans compensate for the increased credit risk associated with such 
loans and that consumer loans are important to its efforts to increase rate 
sensitivity, shorten the average maturity of its loan portfolio and provide a 
full range of services to its customers.  Nevertheless, at June 30, 1996, 
$333,000 of the Savings Bank's consumer loans were non-performing, which 
constituted 65.8% of total non-performing loans and 3.8% of total consumer 
loans at such date. 

    COMMERCIAL BUSINESS LOANS.  In prior years, the Savings Bank became 
involved in purchasing office equipment and other commercial leases, 
primarily through the investment consulting and loan servicing firm located 
in Monroeville, Pennsylvania which was discussed above.  The consulting firm 
underwrote the leases pursuant to the Savings Bank's underwriting standards 
and procedures.  The Savings Bank then generally reviewed the documents and 
made a determination whether to purchase such lease.  The Savings Bank no 
longer has any outstanding lease loans with this firm and does not plan to 
purchase any additional loans from them in the future.

    LOAN FEE INCOME.  In addition to interest earned on loans, the Savings 
Bank receives income from fees in connection with loan originations, loan 
modifications, late payments and for miscellaneous services related to its 
loans.  Income from these activities varies from period to period depending 
upon the volume and type of loans made and competitive conditions.

    The Savings Bank charges loan origination fees which are calculated as a 
percentage of the amount borrowed.  Loan origination and commitment fees in 
excess of loan origination costs are deferred and recognized over the 
contractual remaining lives of the related loans on a level yield basis. 
Discounts and premiums on loans purchased are credited and amortized in the 
same manner.  In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board 
("FASB") Statement No. 91, the Savings Bank recognized $67,000, $49,000 and 
$116,000 of deferred loan fees during the years ended June 30, 1996, 1995 and 
1994, respectively, in connection with loan refinancing, payoffs and ongoing 
amortization of outstanding loans.

ASSET QUALITY

    DELINQUENT LOANS.  When a borrower fails to make a required payment on a 
loan, the Savings Bank attempts to cure the deficiency by contacting the 
borrower and seeking the payment.  Contacts are generally made at least 15 
days after a payment is due.  In most cases, deficiencies are cured promptly. 
 If a delinquency continues, the loan and payment history are reviewed and 
efforts are made to collect the loan.  While the Savings Bank generally 
prefers to work with borrowers to resolve such problems, the Savings Bank 
will institute foreclosure or other proceedings, as necessary, to minimize 
any potential loss.  The Savings Bank generally initiates such proceedings 
when a loan becomes 90 days delinquent.

    NON-PERFORMING ASSETS.  Loans are placed on non-accrual status when, in 
the judgment of management, the probability of collection of interest is 
deemed to be insufficient to warrant further accrual.  When a loan is placed 
on non-accrual status, previously accrued but unpaid interest is deducted 
from interest income.  As a matter of policy, the Savings Bank does not 
accrue interest on loans past due 90 days or more except when the estimated 
value of the collateral and collection efforts are deemed sufficient to 
ensure full recovery.    

    Real estate acquired by the Savings Bank as a result of foreclosure or by 
deed-in-lieu of foreclosure is classified as real estate owned until sold. 
Pursuant to a statement of position ("SOP 92-3") issued by the American 
Institute of Certified Public Accountants in April 1992, which provides 
guidance on determining the balance sheet treatment of foreclosed assets in 
annual financial statements for periods ending on or after December 15, 1992, 
there is a rebuttable presumption that foreclosed assets are held for sale 
and such assets are recommended to be carried at the lower of fair value 
minus estimated costs to sell the property, or cost (generally the balance of 
the loan on the property at the date of acquisition).  After the date of 
acquisition, all costs incurred in maintaining the property are expensed and 
costs incurred for the improvement or development of such property are 
capitalized up to the extent of their net realizable value.  The Savings 
Bank's accounting for its real estate acquired by foreclosure complies with 
the guidance set forth in SOP 92-3.

    For the years ended June 30, 1996, 1995 and 1994, approximately $29,000, 
$97,000 and $95,000, respectively, in gross interest income would have been 
recorded on loans accounted for on a non-accrual basis if such loans had been 
current in accordance with their original terms and had been outstanding 
throughout the year or since origination if held for part of the year.  For 
the years ended June 30, 1996, 1995 and 1994, $6,000, $32,000 and $27,000, 
respectively, were included in interest income for these same loans. 

    The $506,000 of non-performing loans at June 30, 1996 included $113,000 
of single-family residential loans, $60,000 of multi-family residential and 
commercial real estate loans (consisting of one loan), $333,000 of consumer 
loans (consisting of 38 loans), 32 of which are secured by single-family 
residential real estate, and no commercial business loans.  The $166,000 of 
real estate owned at June 30, 1996 consisted of two commercial real estate 
properties and one single family residential property.

    The decline in non-performing assets during the year ended June 30, 1996 
was primarily due to a $178,000 decrease in non-performing single-family 
residential loans, a $432,000 decrease in non-performing multi-family 
residential and commercial real estate loans, a $111,000 decrease in 
non-performing consumer loans, a $38,000 decrease in non-performing 
commercial business loans and a $62,000 decrease in real estate owned.  The 
decrease in non-performing loans reflected the Savings Bank's more aggressive 
and enhanced collection efforts with respect to its non-performing assets.  
The decline in non-performing assets during fiscal 1995 was primarily due to 
a $373,000 decrease in non-performing multi-family residential and commercial 
real estate loans, a $468,000 decline in non-performing construction loans, a 
$179,000 decrease in real estate owned and a $32,000 decrease in 
non-performing commercial business loans, which were partially offset by 
increases of $227,000 and $26,000 in non-performing consumer and 
single-family residential loans, respectively.  The decline in non-performing 
multi-family residential and commercial real estate loans in fiscal 1996 
reflected the receipt of additional payments with respect to the $405,000 
commercial real estate loan which is the Savings Bank's largest loan and 
which was 60 days delinquent as of June 30, 1996, the foreclosure of a 
commercial loan with a net balance of $65,000 and charge-offs of $194,000 in 
the consumer loan portfolio.

    ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES.  It is management's policy to maintain an 
allowance for estimated losses based on the perceived risk of loss in the 
loan portfolio and the adequacy of the allowance.  Management's periodic 
evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance is based on the Savings Bank's 
past loan loss experience, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse 
situations that may affect the borrower's ability to repay, the estimated 
value of the underlying collateral and current economic conditions.  The 
allowance is increased by provisions for loan losses which are charged 
against income.  See Notes 1 and 4 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial 
Statements in the 1996 Annual Report to Stockholders, filed as Exhibit 8 
hereto (the "1996 Annual Report").

    Although management uses the best information available to make 
determinations with respect to the provisions for loan losses, additional 
provisions for loan losses may be required to be established in the future 
should economic or other conditions change substantially.  In addition, the 
Pennsylvania Department of Banking (the "Department") and the FDIC, as an 
integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Savings 
Bank's allowance for possible loan losses.  Such agencies may require the 
Savings Bank to recognize additions to such allowance based on their 
judgments about information available to them at the time of their 
examination.

INVESTMENT ACTIVITIES
    
    The Savings Bank invests in various types of securities, including U.S. 
Government and agency obligations, corporate and municipal debt securities 
and mortgage-backed securities guaranteed by the FHLMC.  The investment 
policy of the Savings Bank, as established by the Board of Directors, is 
designed primarily to provide and maintain liquidity and to generate a 
favorable return on investments without incurring undue interest rate risk, 
credit risk, and investment portfolio asset concentrations.  The Savings 
Bank's investment policy is currently implemented by the Savings Bank's 
President and Chief Executive Officer and is overseen by the Board of 
Directors.

    Securities that management has the intent and positive ability to hold to 
maturity are classified as held to maturity and are reported at amortized 
cost. Securities that management has the clear intent of selling in advance 
of maturity, or which management is uncertain it will hold until maturity are 
classified as available for sale and are reported at their fair value.  At 
June 30, 1996, $10.3 million of the Savings Bank's $13.3 million of 
investment securities were classified as available for sale and the remaining 
$3.0 million were classified as held to maturity.

    The actual maturity of the Savings Bank's investment securities may 
differ from contractual maturity since certain of the Savings Bank's 
investment securities are subject to call provisions which allow the issuer 
to accelerate the maturity date of the security.  In addition, due to 
repayments of the underlying loans, the actual maturities of mortgage-backed 
securities are substantially less than the scheduled maturities.  See Notes 2 
and 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 1996 Annual 
Report, filed as Exhibit 8 hereto.

SOURCES OF FUNDS

    GENERAL.  Deposits are the primary source of the Savings Bank's funds for 
lending and other investment purposes.  In addition to deposits, the Savings 
Bank derives funds from loan principal repayments and prepayments, the 
maturity and sales of investment securities and operations.  Loan repayments 
are a relatively stable source of funds, while deposit inflows and outflows 
and loan prepayments are significantly influenced by general interest rates 
and market conditions.

<PAGE>

    DEPOSITS.  The Savings Bank's deposit products include a broad selection 
of deposit instruments, including passbook savings and club accounts, NOW 
accounts, money market accounts and certificates of deposit.  Deposit account 
terms vary, with the principal differences being the minimum balance 
required, the time periods the funds must remain on deposit and the interest 
rate.

    The Savings Bank's deposits are obtained primarily from residents of 
Allegheny County and Armstrong County, Pennsylvania.  The Savings Bank 
attracts deposit accounts by offering a wide variety of accounts, competitive 
interest rates, and convenient office locations and service hours.  In 
addition, the Savings Bank had installed an automated teller machine in a 
retail department store located in Kittanning, Pennsylvania.  The Savings 
Bank utilizes traditional marketing methods to attract new customers and 
savings deposits, including print media advertising and direct mailings.  The 
Savings Bank does not advertise for deposits outside of its local market area 
or utilize the services of deposit brokers, and management believes that an 
insignificant number of deposit accounts were held by non-residents of 
Pennsylvania at June 30, 1996.

information relating to the Savings Bank's deposits by type as of the dates

COMPETITION

    The Savings Bank faces significant competition for real estate loans, 
principally from mortgage banking companies, other savings institutions, 
commercial banks and credit unions. Factors which affect competition 
generally include the general and local economic conditions, current interest 
rate levels and volatility in the mortgage markets.  The Savings Bank also 
faces significant competition in attracting deposits.  Its most direct 
competition for deposits has historically come from commercial banks and 
other savings institutions located in its market area.  The Savings Bank 
faces additional significant competition for investors' funds from other 
financial intermediaries.  The Savings Bank competes for deposits principally 
by offering depositors a variety of deposit programs, convenient branch 
locations, hours and other services.  The Savings Bank does not rely upon any 
individual group or entity for a material portion of its deposits.

    Federal legislation in recent years has eliminated many of the 
distinctions between commercial banks and savings institutions and holding 
companies and allowed bank holding companies to acquire savings institutions. 
 Such legislation has generally resulted in an increase in the competition 
encountered by savings institutions and has resulted in a decrease in both 
the number of savings institutions and the aggregate size of the savings 
industry.

EMPLOYEES

    The Savings Bank had 11 full-time employees and six part-time employees 
as of June 30, 1996.  None of these employees is represented by a collective 
bargaining agent.  The Savings Bank believes that it enjoys good relations 
with its personnel.

SUBSIDIARIES

    At June 30, 1996, the Savings Bank had one wholly owned subsidiary, 
Pennwood Service Corporation, which held no significant assets and was 
inactive as of such date.

                                      REGULATION

    GENERAL.  The Savings Bank is incorporated under Pennsylvania law under 
the Banking Code of 1965, as amended (the "Banking Code") and is subject to 
extensive regulation and examination by the Department and by the FDIC.  The 
federal and state laws and regulations which are applicable to banks 
regulate, among other things, the scope of their business, their investments, 
their reserves against deposits, the timing of the availability of deposited 
funds and the nature and amount of and collateral for certain loans.  There 
are periodic examinations by the Department and the FDIC to test the Savings 
Bank's compliance with various regulatory requirements.  This regulation and 
supervision establishes a comprehensive framework of activities in which an 
institution can engage and 

                                       22
<PAGE>

is intended primarily for the protection of the insurance fund and 
depositors.  The regulatory structure also gives the regulatory authorities 
extensive discretion in connection with their supervisory and enforcement 
activities and examination policies, including policies with respect to the 
classification of assets and the establishment of adequate loan loss reserves 
for regulatory purposes.  Any change in such regulation, whether by the 
Department, the FDIC or the U.S. Congress could have a material adverse 
impact on the Savings Bank and its operations.

    INSURANCE OF ACCOUNTS.  The deposits of the Savings Bank are insured to 
the maximum extent permitted by the SAIF, which is administered by the FDIC, 
and are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government.  As 
insurer, the FDIC is authorized to conduct examinations of, and to require 
reporting by, FDIC-insured institutions.  It also may prohibit any 
FDIC-insured institution from engaging in any activity the FDIC determines by 
regulation or order to pose a serious threat to the FDIC.  

    The Savings Bank currently pays deposit insurance premiums to the FDIC 
based on a risk-based assessment system established by the FDIC for all 
SAIF-member institutions.  Under applicable regulations, institutions are 
assigned to one of three capital groups which is based solely on the level on 
an institution's capital - "well capitalized," "adequately capitalized" and 
"undercapitalized."  These three groups are then divided into three subgroups 
which reflect varying levels of supervisory concern, from those which are 
considered to be healthy to those which are considered to be of substantial 
supervisory concern.  The matrix so created results in nine assessment risk 
classifications, with rates ranging from .23% for well capitalized, healthy 
institutions to .31% for undercapitalized institutions with substantial 
supervisory concerns.  The Savings Bank was classified as a "well 
capitalized" institution as of June 30, 1996.

    Both the SAIF and the Bank Insurance Fund (the "BIF"), the federal 
deposit insurance fund that covers the deposits of state and national banks 
and certain state savings banks, are statutorily required to be recapitalized 
to a ratio of 1.25% of insured reserve deposits.  The BIF has achieved the 
required reserve ratio, and, as discussed below, the FDIC recently 
substantially reduced the average deposit insurance premium paid by 
BIF-insured banks to a level substantially below the average paid by savings 
institutions.

    On November 14, 1995, the FDIC approved a final rule regarding deposit 
insurance premiums.  The final rule reduced deposit insurance premiums for 
BIF member institutions to zero basis points (subject to a $2,000 minimum) 
for institutions in the lowest risk category, while holding deposit insurance 
premiums for SAIF members at their current levels (23 basis points for 
institutions in the lowest risk category).  The reduction was effective with 
respect to the semiannual premium assessment beginning January 1, 1996. 
Accordingly, in the absence of further  legislative action, SAIF members such 
as Savings Bank will be competitively disadvantaged as compared to commercial 
banks by the resulting premium differential.

                                       23

<PAGE>

    The U.S. House of Representatives and Senate have actively considered 
legislation which would have eliminated the premium differential between 
SAIF-insured institutions and BIF-insured institutions by recapitalizing the 
SAIF's reserves to the required ratio.  The proposed legislation would have 
required all SAIF member institutions to pay a special one-time assessment to 
recapitalize the SAIF, which in the aggregate would have been sufficient to 
bring the reserve ratio for the SAIF to 1.25% of insured deposits.  Based on 
the current level of reserves maintained by the SAIF, it was anticipated that 
the amount of the special assessment required to recapitalize the SAIF would 
have been approximately 80 to 85 basis points of the SAIF-assessable deposits 
as of March 31, 1995.  It was also anticipated that after the 
recapitalization of the SAIF, premiums paid by SAIF-insured institutions 
would be reduced to match those currently being assessed BIF-insured 
institutions.  The legislation also provided for the merger of the BIF and 
the SAIF, with such merger being conditioned upon the prior elimination of 
the thrift charter.

    The legislation discussed above had been, for some time, included as part 
of a fiscal 1996 federal budget bill, but was eliminated prior to the bill 
being enacted on April 26, 1996.  In light of the legislation's elimination 
and the uncertainty of the legislative process generally, management cannot 
predict whether legislation reducing SAIF premiums and/or imposing a special 
one-time assessment will be adopted, or, if adopted, the amount of the 
assessment, if any, that would be imposed on the Savings Bank.

    If legislation were to be enacted in the future which would assess a 
one-time special assessment of 80 basis points, the Savings Bank would (based 
upon the Savings Bank's SAIF deposits as of March 31, 1995) incur an adverse 
earnings impact of approximately $300,000, gross of related tax benefits, if 
any.  In addition, the enactment of such legislation might have the effect of 
immediately reducing the Savings Bank's capital by such an amount.

    The FDIC may terminate the deposit insurance of any insured depository 
institution, including the Savings Bank, if it determines after a hearing 
that the institution has engaged or is engaging in unsafe or unsound 
practices, is in an unsafe or unsound condition to continue operations, or 
has violated any applicable law, regulation, order or any condition imposed 
by an agreement with the FDIC.  It also may suspend deposit insurance 
temporarily during the hearing process for the permanent termination of 
insurance, if the institution has no tangible capital.  If insurance of 
accounts is terminated, the accounts at the institution at the time of the 
termination, less subsequent withdrawals, shall continue to be insured for a 
period of six months to two years, as determined by the FDIC.  Management is 
aware of no existing circumstances which would result in termination of the 
Savings Bank's deposit insurance.

    CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS.  The FDIC has promulgated regulations and adopted a 
statement of policy regarding the capital adequacy of state-chartered banks 
which, like the Savings Bank, will not be members of the Federal Reserve 
System. The FDIC's capital regulations establish a minimum 3.0% Tier I 
leverage capital requirement for the most highly-rated state-chartered, 
non-member banks, with an additional cushion of at least 100 

                                       24

<PAGE>


to 200 basis points for all other state-chartered, non-member banks, which 
effectively will increase the minimum Tier I leverage ratio for such other 
banks to 4.0% to 5.0% or more.  Under the FDIC's regulation, the 
highest-rated banks are those that the FDIC determines are not anticipating 
or experiencing significant growth and have well diversified risk, including 
no undue interest rate risk exposure, excellent asset quality, high 
liquidity, good earnings and, in general, which are considered a strong 
banking organization and are rated composite 1 under the Uniform Financial 
Institutions Rating System.  Leverage or core capital is defined as the sum 
of common stockholders' equity (including retained earnings), noncumulative 
perpetual preferred stock and related surplus, and minority interests in 
consolidated subsidiaries, minus all intangible assets other than certain 
qualifying supervisory goodwill and certain purchased mortgage servicing 
rights.

    The FDIC also requires that savings banks meet a risk-based capital 
standard.  The risk-based capital standard for savings banks requires the 
maintenance of total capital (which is defined as Tier I capital and 
supplementary (Tier 2) capital) to risk weighted assets of 8%.  In 
determining the amount of risk-weighted assets, all assets, plus certain off 
balance sheet assets, are multiplied by a risk-weight of 0% to 100%, based on 
the risks the FDIC believes are inherent in the type of asset or item.  The 
components of Tier I capital are equivalent to those discussed above under 
the 3% leverage capital standard.  The components of supplementary capital 
include certain perpetual preferred stock, certain mandatory convertible 
securities, certain subordinated debt and intermediate preferred stock and 
general allowances for loan and lease losses.  Allowance for loan and lease 
losses includable in supplementary capital is limited to a maximum of 1.25% 
of risk-weighted assets.  Overall, the amount of capital counted toward 
supplementary capital cannot exceed 100% of core capital.  At June 30, 1996, 
the Savings Bank met each of its capital requirements.

    In August 1995, the FDIC and other federal banking agencies published a 
final rule modifying their existing risk-based capital standards to provide 
for consideration of interest rate risk when assessing capital adequacy of a 
bank. Under the final rule, the FDIC must explicitly include a bank's 
exposure to declines in the economic value of its capital due to changes in 
interest rates as a factor in evaluating a bank's capital adequacy.  In 
addition, in August 1995, the FDIC and the other federal banking agencies 
published a joint policy statement for public comment that describes the 
process the banking agencies will use to measure and assess the exposure of a 
bank's net economic value to changes in interest rates.  Under the policy 
statement, the FDIC will consider results of supervisory and internal 
interest rate risk models as one factor in evaluating capital adequacy.  The 
FDIC intends, at a future date, to incorporate explicit minimum requirements 
for interest rate risk in its risk-based capital standards through the use of 
a model developed from the policy statement, a future proposed rule and the 
public comments received therefrom.  

    The Savings Bank is also subject to more stringent Department capital 
guidelines.  Although not adopted in regulation form, the Department utilizes 
capital standards requiring 

                                       25

<PAGE>

a minimum of 6% leverage capital and 10% risk-based capital.  The components 
of leverage and risk-based capital are substantially the same as those 
defined by the FDIC.

    ACTIVITIES AND INVESTMENTS OF INSURED STATE-CHARTERED BANKS.  The 
activities and equity investments of FDIC-insured, state-chartered banks are 
generally limited to those that are permissible for national banks.  Under 
regulations dealing with equity investments, an insured state bank generally 
may not directly or indirectly acquire or retain any equity investment of a 
type, or in an amount, that is not permissible for a national bank.  An 
insured state bank is not prohibited from, among other things, (i) acquiring 
or retaining a majority interest in a subsidiary, (ii) investing as a limited 
partner in a partnership the sole purpose of which is direct or indirect 
investment in the acquisition, rehabilitation or new construction of a 
qualified housing project, provided that such limited partnership investments 
may not exceed 2% of the bank's total assets, (iii) acquiring up to 10% of 
the voting stock of a company that solely provides or reinsures directors', 
trustees' and officers' liability insurance coverage or bankers' blanket bond 
group insurance coverage for insured depository institutions, and (iv) 
acquiring or retaining the voting shares of a depository institution if 
certain requirements are met.  In addition, an insured state-chartered bank 
may not, directly, or indirectly through a subsidiary, engage as "principal" 
in any activity that is not permissible for a national bank unless the FDIC 
has determined that such activities would pose no risk to the insurance fund 
of which it is a member and the bank is in compliance with applicable 
regulatory capital requirements.  Any insured state-chartered bank directly 
or indirectly engaged in any activity that is not permitted for a national 
bank must cease the impermissible activity.  

    PENNSYLVANIA SAVINGS BANK LAW.  The Banking Code contains detailed 
provisions governing the organization, location of offices, rights and 
responsibilities of directors, officers, employees and members, as well as 
corporate powers, savings and investment operations and other aspects of the 
Savings Bank and its affairs.  The Banking Code delegates extensive 
rulemaking power and administrative discretion to the Department so that the 
supervision and regulation of state-chartered savings banks may be flexible 
and readily responsive to changes in economic conditions and in savings and 
lending practices.

    One of the purposes of the Banking Code is to provide savings banks with 
the opportunity to be competitive with each other and with other financial 
institutions existing under other Pennsylvania laws and other state, federal 
and foreign laws.  A Pennsylvania savings bank may locate or change the 
location of its principal place of business and establish an office anywhere 
in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, with the prior approval of the 
Department.

    The Department generally examines each savings bank not less frequently 
than once every two years.  Although the Department  may accept the 
examinations and reports of the FDIC in lieu of the Department's examination, 
the present practice is for the Department to conduct individual 
examinations.  The Department may order any savings bank to discontinue any 
violation of law or unsafe or unsound business practice and may direct any 

                                       26

<PAGE>

trustee, officer, attorney or employee of a savings bank engaged in an 
objectionable activity, after the Department has ordered the activity to be 
terminated, to show cause at a hearing before the Department why such person 
should not be removed.

    REGULATORY ENFORCEMENT AUTHORITY.  Applicable banking laws include 
substantial enforcement powers available to federal banking regulators.  This 
enforcement authority includes, among other things, the ability to assess 
civil money penalties, to issue cease-and-desist or removal orders and to 
initiate injunctive actions against banking organizations and 
institution-affiliated parties, as defined.  In general, these enforcement 
actions may be initiated for violations of laws and regulations and unsafe or 
unsound practices.  Other actions or inactions may provide the basis for 
enforcement action, including misleading or untimely reports filed with 
regulatory authorities.

                              FEDERAL AND STATE TAXATION

    GENERAL.  The Savings Bank is subject to the corporate tax provisions of 
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), as well as 
certain additional provisions of the Code which apply to thrift and other 
types of financial institutions.  The following discussion of tax matters is 
intended only as a summary and does not purport to be a comprehensive 
description of the tax rules applicable to the Savings Bank.

    FISCAL YEAR.  The Savings Bank and its subsidiaries file a consolidated 
federal income tax return on a June 30 year end basis.

    METHOD OF ACCOUNTING.  The Savings Bank maintains its books and records 
for federal income tax purposes using the accrual method of accounting.  The 
accrual method of accounting generally requires that items of income be 
recognized when all events have occurred that establish the right to receive 
the income and the amount of income can be determined with reasonable 
accuracy, and that items of expense be deducted at the later of (i) the time 
when all events have occurred that establish the liability to pay the expense 
and the amount of such liability can be determined with reasonable accuracy 
or (ii) the time when economic performance with respect to the item of 
expense has occurred.

    BAD DEBT RESERVES.  Savings institutions, such as the Savings Bank, which 
meet certain definitional tests primarily relating to their assets and the 
nature of their businesses, are permitted to establish a reserve for bad 
debts and to make annual additions to the reserve.  These additions may, 
within specified formula limits, be deducted in arriving at the institution's 
taxable income.  For purposes of computing the deductible addition to its bad 
debt reserve, the institution's loans are separated into "qualifying real 
property loans" (i.e., generally those loans secured by certain interests in 
real property) and all other loans ("non-qualifying loans").  The deduction 
with respect to non-qualifying loans must be computed under the experience 
method as described below.  The following formulas may be used to compute the 
bad debt deduction with respect to qualifying real property loans:  (i) 
actual loss experience, or (ii) a percentage of taxable income.  Reasonable 
additions to the reserve 

                                       27

<PAGE>

for losses on non-qualifying loans must be based upon actual loss experience 
and would reduce the current year's addition to the reserve for losses on 
qualifying real property loans, unless that addition is also determined under 
the experience method.  The sum of the additions to each reserve for each 
year is the institution's annual bad debt deduction.

    Under the experience method, the deductible annual addition to the 
institution's bad debt reserves is the amount necessary to increase the 
balance of the reserve at the close of the taxable year to the greater of (a) 
the amount which bears the same ratio to loans outstanding at the close of 
the taxable year as the total net bad debts sustained during the current and 
five preceding taxable years bear to the sum of the loans outstanding at the 
close of the six years, or (b) the lower of (i) the balance of the reserve 
account at the close of the Savings Bank's "base year," which was its tax 
year ended June 30, 1988, or (ii) if the amount of loans outstanding at the 
close of the taxable year is less than the amount of loans outstanding at the 
close of the base year, the amount which bears the same ratio to loans 
outstanding at the close of the taxable year as the balance of the reserve at 
the close of the base year bears to the amount of loans outstanding at the 
close of the base year.

    Under the percentage of taxable income method, the bad debt deduction 
equals 8% of taxable income determined without regard to that deduction and 
with certain adjustments.  The availability of the percentage of taxable 
income method permits a qualifying savings institution to be taxed at a lower 
effective federal income tax rate than that applicable to corporations in 
general.  This resulted generally in an effective federal income tax rate 
payable by a qualifying savings institution fully able to use the maximum 
deduction permitted under the percentage of taxable income method, in the 
absence of other factors affecting taxable income, of 31.3% exclusive of any 
minimum tax or environmental tax (as compared to 34% for corporations 
generally).  For tax years beginning on or after January 1, 1993, the maximum 
corporate tax rate was increased to 35%, which increased the maximum 
effective federal income tax rate payable by a qualifying savings institution 
fully able to use the maximum deduction to 32.2%. Any savings institution at 
least 60% of whose assets are qualifying assets, as described in the Code, 
will generally be eligible for the full deduction of 8% of taxable income.  
As of June 30, 1996, approximately 92% of the assets of the Savings Bank were 
"qualifying assets" as defined in the Code.

    Under the percentage of taxable income method, the bad debt deduction for 
an addition to the reserve for qualifying real property loans cannot exceed 
the amount necessary to increase the balance in this reserve to an amount 
equal to 6% of such loans outstanding at the end of the taxable year.  The 
bad debt deduction is also limited to the amount which, when added to the 
addition to the reserve for losses on non-qualifying loans, equals the amount 
by which 12% of deposits at the close of the year exceeds the sum of surplus, 
undivided profits and reserves at the beginning of the year.  In addition, 
the deduction for qualifying real property loans is reduced by an amount 
equal to all or part of the deduction for non-qualifying loans.

    At June 30, 1996, the federal income tax bad debt reserves of the Savings 
Bank included $979,000 for which no federal income tax has been provided. 
Because of these federal income tax bad debt reserves and the liquidation 
account to be established for the benefit of certain depositors of the 
Savings Bank in connection with the conversion of the Savings Bank to stock 
form, the retained earnings of the Saving Bank are substantially restricted.

    On August 20, 1996, President Clinton signed into law the "Small Business 
Job Protection Act" which included legislation, effective for tax years 
beginning after December 31, 1995, whereby a small thrift institution (one 
with an adjusted basis of assets of less than $500 million), such as the 
Savings Bank, would no longer be permitted to make additions to its tax bad 
debt reserve under the percentage of taxable income method.  Such 
institutions will be permitted to use the experience method in lieu of 
deducting bad debts only as they occur.  The legislation will require the 
Savings Bank to realize increased current tax lability over a period of at 
least six years, beginning in the fiscal year ending June 30, 1997.  
Specifically, the legislation requires a small thrift institution to 
recapture (i.e., take into income) over a multi-year period the balance of 
its bad debt reserves in excess of the lesser of (i) the balance of such 
reserves as of the end of its last taxable year beginning before 1988 or (ii) 
an amount that would have been the balance of such reserves had the 
institution always computed its additions to its reserves using the 
experience method.  However, such recapture requirements may be suspended for 
each of two successive taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 1996, 
in which the Savings Bank originates a minimum amount of certain residential 
loans based upon the average of the principal amounts of such loans made by 
the Savings Bank during its six taxable years preceding 1996.  It is 
anticipated that any recapture of the Savings Bank's bad debt reserves 
accumulated the first tax year ending after 1987 would not have a material 
adverse effect on the Savings Bank's financial condition and results of 
operations.

    MINIMUM TAX.  The Code imposes an alternative minimum tax at a rate of 
20%. The alternative minimum tax generally applies to a base of regular 
taxable income plus certain tax preferences ("alternative minimum taxable 
income" or "AMTI") and is payable to the extent such AMTI is in excess of an 
exemption amount.  The Code provides that an item of tax preference is the 
excess of the bad debt deduction allowable for a taxable year pursuant to the 
percentage of taxable income method over the amount allowable under the 
experience method. Other items of tax preference that constitute AMTI include 
(a) tax-exempt interest on newly issued (generally, issued on or after August 
8, 1986) private activity bonds other than certain qualified bonds and (b) 
75% of the excess (if any) of (i) adjusted current earnings as defined in the 
Code, over (ii) AMTI (determined without regard to this preference and prior 
to reduction by net operating losses).

    NET OPERATING LOSS CARRYOVERS.  A financial institution may carry back 
net operating losses ("NOLs") to the preceding three taxable years and 
forward to the succeeding 15 taxable years.  This provision applies to losses 
incurred in taxable years beginning after 1986.  

                                       29

<PAGE>

At June 30, 1996, the Savings Bank had no NOL carryforwards for federal 
income tax purposes.

    AUDIT BY IRS.  The Savings Bank's federal income tax returns for taxable 
years through June 30, 1993 have been closed for the purpose of examination 
by the Internal Revenue System.

    STATE TAXATION.  The Savings Bank is subject to tax under the 
Pennsylvania Mutual Thrift Institutions Tax Act, which imposes a tax at the 
rate of 11.5% on the Savings Bank's net earnings, determined in accordance 
with generally accepted accounting principles, as shown on its books.  For 
fiscal years beginning in 1983, and thereafter, NOLs may be carried forward 
and allowed as a deduction for three succeeding years.  This Act exempts the 
Savings Bank from all other corporate taxes imposed by Pennsylvania for state 
tax purposes, and from all local taxes imposed by political subdivisions 
thereof, except taxes on real estate and real estate transfers.  At June 30, 
1996, the Savings Bank had no net operating losses.

Dear Stockholders:

    We are pleased to present to you our annual report for the fiscal year 
ended June 30, 1996. It was an historically noteworthy year for Pennwood 
Savings Bank in that it was our last year as a mutually owned institution.  
On July 12, 1996, the Bank completed its conversion to a state chartered 
stock savings bank.  In the conversion, we sold 610,128 shares of common 
stock in a public offering resulting in $5.7 million in net proceeds to the 
Bank.  Future plans call for the formation of a holding company, a process 
which should be completed by the middle of fiscal 1997.

    Operating results for the year were encouraging and form the basis for 
further  improvement. Net income increased 158% to $297,000 in fiscal 1996 as 
a result of gains in net interest income and reductions in provisions for 
loan losses.  Asset quality improved as nonperforming assets were reduced to 
1.43% of total assets from 3.52% a year earlier.

    As we begin a new era as a public company, we look forward to providing 
the highest quality service to our customers and stockholders.

                                     Sincerely,


                                     /s/ Paul S. Pieffer

               MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
         OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

General

    The operating results of the Savings Bank depend primarily upon its net 
interest income, which is determined by the difference between interest 
income on interest-earning assets, which consist principally of loans, 
investment securities and other investments, and interest expense on 
interest-bearing liabilities, which consist principally of deposits.  The 
Savings Bank's net income also is affected by its provision for loan losses, 
as well as the level of its other income, including loan fees and service 
charges and miscellaneous items, and its other expenses, including 
compensation and other employee benefits, premises and occupancy costs, 
federal deposit insurance premiums, data processing expense, net loss on real 
estate owned and other miscellaneous expenses, and income taxes.  

    On July 12, 1996, the Savings Bank completed its conversion from the 
mutual to the stock form (the "Conversion"). In the Conversion, the Savings 
Bank issued 610,128 shares of common stock, which resulted in net proceeds to 
the Savings Bank of approximately $5.7 million.  Proceeds received from stock 
subscriptions in connection with Conversion are reflected in the Consolidated 
Balance Sheet as of June 30, 1996 included elsewhere in this Annual Report.

CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION

    The Savings Bank's total assets increased by $4.3 million or 10.0% from 
$42.6 million at June 30, 1995 to $46.9 million at June 30, 1996.  The 
increase in total assets was primarily due to increases in money market 
investments and investment securities as a result of funds received from 
stock subscriptions relating to the Conversion, which were partially offset 
by decreases in federal funds sold and net loans receivable.  The Savings 
Bank continued the restructuring of its investment portfolio during the year 
by shifting funds from lower yielding, short-term investments, such as cash, 
interest-bearing deposits (including certificates of deposit) and federal 
funds sold, to higher yielding, longer-term investment securities.  As a 
result, during the year, the Savings Bank's investment and mortgage-backed 
securities (classified as available for sale) increased by $8.9 million from 
$1.3 million at June 30, 1995 to $10.3 million at June 30, 1996, and money 
market investments (consisting of interest-bearing deposits, including 
certificates of deposit, with other financial institutions) increased by $4.1 
million or 79.7%, while federal funds sold decreased by $4.2 million from 
$4.5 million at June 30, 1995 to $300,000 at June 30, 1996.  During the year 
the Savings Bank's investment securities held-to-maturity decreased by $1.7 
million or 35.6%.  Cash and amounts due from depository institutions 
decreased by $414,000 or 44.7% during the year.  The Savings Bank's net loans 
receivable decreased $2.7 million or 11.2%  during the year.  The decrease in 
net loans receivable during the year was primarily due to $8.5 million of 
loan repayments, which were partially offset by $6.3 million of loan 
originations.  The increase in the Savings Bank's total assets was primarily 
funded by an increase of $4.1 million or 10.5% in total liabilities during 
the year.  The increase in total liabilities consisted primarily of $4.5 
million in deposits on stock subscriptions held at June 30, 1996 in 
connection with the Conversion, which was not completed until July 1996.  The 
Savings Bank's net worth increased by $214,000 or 5.5%, which was due to the 
$297,000 of net income recognized by the Savings Bank during the year, which 
was partially offset by an $83,000 increase in net unrealized losses on 
securities classified as available for sale.

    RATE/VOLUME ANALYSIS.  The following table describes the extent to which 
changes in interest rates and changes in volume of interest-related assets 
and liabilities have affected the Savings Bank's interest income and interest 
expense during the periods indicated.  For each category of interest-earning 
assets and interest-bearing liabilities, information is provided on changes 
attributable to (i) changes in volume (change in volume multiplied by prior 
year rate), (ii) changes in rate (change in rate multiplied by prior year 
volume), and (iii) total change in rate and volume.  The combined effect of 
changes in both rate and volume has been allocated proportionately to the 
change due to rate and the change due to volume.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

    NET INCOME.  The Savings Bank reported net income of $297,000 and 
$115,000 for the years ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  The 
$182,000 or 158.3% increase in net income during fiscal 1996 as compared to 
fiscal 1995 was primarily due to an increase of $85,000 or 5.4% in net 
interest income, a decrease of $280,000 or 72.7% in the provision for loan 
losses and a decrease of $14,000 or 1.2% in total other expenses, which were 
partially offset by an increase of $111,000 in the provision for income taxes 
and a decrease of $86,000 or 45.3% in total other income.


                                          7

    For the year ended June 30, 1996, the Savings Bank's net interest margin 
increased by 11 basis points to 4.17% from 4.06% for fiscal 1995.  The 
average yield earned on the Savings Bank's interest-earning assets increased 
by 38 basis points, which offset a 34 basis point increase in the average 
rate paid on the Savings Bank's interest-bearing liabilities. The increase in 
the average yield earned on interest-earning assets was primarily 
attributable to the Savings Bank's reinvestment of a portion of its money 
market investments and federal funds sold into higher yielding investment and 
mortgage-backed securities (primarily U.S. Government and agency 
obligations).  The Savings Bank determined to restructure its short-term 
investments in order to enhance net interest income, reduce its excess 
liquidity and reduce its one-year interest rate sensitivity gap position.  
See "- Asset and Liability Management."  The increase in the average rate 
paid on interest-bearing liabilities reflected a shift in the Savings Bank's 
deposit accounts from lower cost passbook savings and club accounts to higher 
cost certificates of deposit.  At the end of fiscal 1996, market rates of 
interest declined which resulted in decreases in the yields earned on the 
Savings Bank's interest-earning assets and the rates paid on the Savings 
Bank's interest-bearing liabilities.  As a result of the Savings Bank's 
positive one-year interest rate sensitivity gap, the yields on the Savings 
Bank's interest-earning assets declined more rapidly than the rates paid on 
its interest-bearing liabilities. Consequently, the Savings Bank's interest 
rate spread increased to 3.88% at June 30, 1996.

    NET INTEREST INCOME.  Net interest income increased by $85,000 or 5.4% 
during the year ended June 30, 1996, as compared to the prior fiscal year, 
due to a $991,000 or 2.6% increase in the average balance of interest-earning 
assets together with a 38 basis point increase in the average yield earned 
thereon, which more than offset a $431,000 or 1.2% increase in the average 
balance of interest-bearing liabilities and a 34 basis point increase in the 
average rate paid thereon.

    During the year ended June 30, 1996, total interest income increased by 
$232,000 or 7.4%, as compared to the prior fiscal year, primarily due to a 
$395,000 or 130.8% increase in interest earned on investment securities and a 
$52,000 or 29.5% increase in interest earned on money market investments.  
These increases were partially offset by a $210,000 or 66.9% decrease in 
interest earned on federal funds sold and a $5,000 or 0.2% decrease in 
interest earned on loans.  The increase in interest earned on investment 
securities was due primarily to a $5.6 million or 110.8% increase in the 
average balance of investment securities together with a 57 basis point 
increase in average yield earned thereon.  The decrease in interest earned on 
federal funds sold was due primarily to the reduction of the amount of 
federal funds sold.  As discussed previously, the increase in the average 
balance of the Savings Bank's investment securities reflected the Savings 
Bank's reinvestment of a portion of its money market investments and federal 
funds sold into higher yielding U.S. Government and agency obligations.  The 
decrease in interest earned on loans was due to a 75 basis point increase in 
the average yield earned thereon, which was offset by a $1.8 million or 7.3% 
decrease in the average balance of loans outstanding.

    During the year ended June 30, 1996, total interest expense increased by 
$147,000 or 9.4%, as compared to the prior fiscal year, due to the combined 
effect of an increase of $2.3 million or 10.9% in the average balance of 
certificates of deposit and a 54 basis point increase on the average rate 
paid thereon.  These increases reflected a shift in the Savings Bank's 
deposits from lower yielding passbook savings and club accounts into higher 
yielding certificates of deposit during the year.

    PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES.   The Savings Bank establishes provisions for 
losses on loans, which are charged to operations, in order to maintain the 
allowance for loan losses at a level which is deemed to be appropriate based 
upon an assessment of prior loss experience, the volume and type of lending 
presently being conducted by the Savings Bank, industry standards, past due 
loans, economic conditions in the Savings Bank's market area generally and 
other factors related to the collectibility of the Savings Bank's loan 
portfolio.  During the years ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, the Savings Bank 
established provisions for loan losses of $105,000 and $385,000, 
respectively.  The decrease in the provision for loan losses during fiscal 
1996 reflected the decline in the level of non-performing loans as well as 
the decline in the total amount of loans held in the Savings Bank's portfolio 
during the period.  The amount of the provision for loan losses during fiscal 
1995 reflected a deterioration in the credit quality with respect to several 
of the Savings Bank's commercial real estate and

                                       8


<PAGE>



consumer loans.  This deterioration in credit quality occurred 
notwithstanding an overall decline in the level of non-performing assets 
during the year.  In addition, in January 1994, the Savings Bank terminated 
its consulting arrangement with an individual who had previously assisted the 
Savings Bank in originating and servicing consumer loans. In connection with 
the termination of such agreement, during fiscal 1995, the Savings Bank 
enhanced its loan underwriting and collection efforts with respect to its 
consumer loans which initially resulted in an increase in the level of 
consumer loan charge-offs during the year.  At June 30, 1996, the Savings 
Bank's allowance for loan losses amounted to $337,000 or 66.6% of total 
non-performing loans and 1.6% of total loans outstanding.

    Although management utilized its best judgment in providing for possible 
loan losses, there can be no assurance that the Savings Bank will not have to 
increase its provisions for losses on loans in the future as a result of 
future increases in non-performing loans or for other reasons, which could 
adversely affect the Savings Bank's results of operations.  In addition, 
various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examinations 
process, periodically review the Savings Bank's provision for loan losses and 
the carrying value of its other non-performing assets based on their 
judgments about information available to them at the time of their 
examination.  

    OTHER INCOME.  Total other income decreased by $86,000 or 45.3% during 
the year ended June 30, 1996, as compared to the prior year.  The decrease 
was primarily due to a gain of $100,000 on the sale of available for sale 
securities (consisting primarily of Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation 
("FHLMC") preferred stock) in fiscal 1995, with no comparable gains being 
recognized during fiscal 1996, and a decrease of $7,000 or 14.3% in other 
miscellaneous income (which consists primarily of rental income earned on 
real estate owned, late charges, service charges and other miscellaneous 
fees). These were partially offset by a $21,000 or 51.2% increase in service 
charges.

    OTHER EXPENSES.  Total other expenses decreased by $14,000 or 1.2% during 
the year ended June 30, 1996, as compared to the prior year.  The primary 
reasons for the decrease were a $28,000 or 28.0% decrease in net loss on real 
estate owned and a $27,000 or 9.8% decrease in other miscellaneous operating 
expenses, which were partially offset by a $25,000 or 5.3% increase in 
compensation and employee benefits, a $10,000 or 5.1% increase in premises 
and occupancy costs and a $7,000 or 8.2% increase in federal insurance 
premiums.  The decrease in net loss on real estate owned reflected the 
Savings Bank's recording of an additional provision in fiscal 1995 for the 
decline in estimated fair value below its carrying value of a commercial 
property held as real estate owned as well as the sale of property held as 
real estate owned. The increase in compensation and employee benefits 
reflected merit salary increases as well as the addition of new employees, 
while the increase in premises and occupancy costs was due to the assumption 
of a new lease with respect to one of the Savings Bank's branch offices 
together with renovation costs and an increase in depreciation expense.  The 
decline in other miscellaneous operating expenses (which consist primarily of 
advertising expenses, costs related to postage, forms and supplies, 
professional fees and supervisory assessments) reflected decreases in loan 
servicing costs and costs relating to office supplies.  With the completion 
of the Conversion, management anticipates that its other expenses will 
increase as a result of additional expenses relating to the Savings Bank 
operating as a public stock company as well as expenses relating to its stock 
benefit plans.

    PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES.  The Savings Bank incurred income tax expense 
of $162,000 for the year ended June 30, 1996, as compared to $51,000 for 
fiscal 1995.  The Savings Bank's effective tax rate amounted to 35.2% and 
30.7% for fiscal 1996 and 1995, respectively.  

ASSET AND LIABILITY MANAGEMENT

    In general, financial institutions are vulnerable to an increase in 
interest rates to the extent that interest-bearing liabilities mature or 
reprice more rapidly than interest-earning assets.  The lending activities of 
most savings institutions have historically emphasized the origination of 
long-term, fixed-rate loans secured by single-

                                     9

<PAGE>

family residences, and the primary source of funds of such institutions has 
been deposits, which largely mature or are subject to repricing within a 
short period of time.  These factors have historically caused the income 
earned by such institutions on their loan portfolios to adjust more slowly to 
changes in interest rates than their cost of funds.  While having liabilities 
that reprice more frequently than assets is generally beneficial to net 
interest income in times of declining interest rates, such an asset/liability 
mismatch is generally detrimental during periods of rising interest rates.  
In contrast to the typical thrift institution, the Savings Bank's assets 
generally reprice more frequently than its liabilities, which is generally 
beneficial to net interest income during periods of rising interest rates, 
while detrimental to net interest income during periods of declining interest 
rates.
    
    The Savings Bank has in recent periods implemented asset and liability 
management strategies and policies designed to better match the maturities 
and repricing terms of the Savings Bank's interest-earning assets and 
interest-bearing liabilities in order to minimize the adverse effects on the 
Savings Bank's results of operations of material and prolonged increases in 
interest rates.  The Savings Bank has undertaken a variety of strategies to 
reduce its exposure to interest rate fluctuations, including (i) emphasizing 
investment in adjustable-rate single-family residential loans; (ii) 
continuing to emphasize the origination of consumer loans, which generally 
have shorter terms and higher interest rates than traditional mortgage loans; 
(iii) maintaining the weighted average maturity of the Savings Bank's 
investment portfolio at five years or less; (iv) maintaining a significant 
percentage of the Savings Bank's total assets in short-term investments and 
cash equivalents; and (v) attempting to attract, to the extent possible, 
longer-term, fixed-rate deposit accounts. 

    As a result of implementing these asset and liability initiatives, at 
June 30, 1996, $10.4 million or 49.1% of the Savings Bank's total loan 
portfolio had adjustable interest rates.  As of such date, $7.6 million or 
79.4% of the Savings Bank's portfolio of single-family residential mortgage 
loans consisted of adjustable-rate loans.  In addition, at June 30, 1996, 
$6.3 million or 47.5% of the Savings Bank's investment securities portfolio 
had scheduled maturities of five years or less and the Savings Bank 
maintained $10.1 million or 21.5% of its assets in cash and cash equivalents 
(consisting of cash and amounts due from depository institutions, money 
market investments and federal funds sold) as of such date. The $10.1 million 
of cash and cash equivalents includes stock subscription proceeds.  It is the 
Savings Bank's intention to reinvest this amount into investment securities 
and loan originations that fall within its Asset/Liability management strategy.

    Moreover, during the years ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, the Savings Bank 
originated $2.9 million and $6.2 million of consumer loans, respectively.  At 
June 30, 1996, the Savings Bank's total loan portfolio included $8.8 million 
or 41.8% of consumer loans.

    Finally, the Savings Bank has also elected to offer competitive rates and 
experience some attrition in deposits in order to manage interest rate 
expense more effectively. The Savings Bank has generally not engaged in 
sporadic increases or decreases in interest rates paid or offered the highest 
rates available in its deposit market except upon specific occasions when 
market conditions have created opportunities to attract longer-term deposits. 
 This policy has assisted the Savings Bank in controlling its cost of funds.

    The effect of interest rate changes on a financial institution's assets 
and liabilities may be analyzed by examining the extent to which such assets 
and liabilities are "interest rate sensitive" and by monitoring an 
institution's interest rate sensitivity "gap."  An asset or liability is said 
to be interest rate sensitive within a specific time period if it will mature 
or reprice within that time period.  The interest rate sensitivity "gap" is 
defined as the difference between interest-earning assets and 
interest-bearing liabilities maturing or repricing within a given time 
period.  A gap is considered positive when the amount of interest rate 
sensitive assets exceeds the amount of interest rate sensitive liabilities.  
A gap is considered negative when the amount of interest rate sensitive 
liabilities exceeds the amount of interest rate sensitive assets.  During a 
period of falling interest rates, a positive gap would tend to adversely 
affect net interest income, while a negative gap would tend to result in an 
increase in net interest income.  During a period of rising interest rates, a 
positive gap would tend to result in an increase in net interest income while 
a negative gap would tend to affect net interest income adversely.

    As a result of the implementation of the foregoing asset and liability 
strategies, the Savings Bank's one-year interest rate sensitivity gap 
amounted to 20.92% of total assets at June 30, 1996.  The one-year interest 
rate sensitivity gap is defined as the difference between the Savings Bank's 
interest-earning assets which are scheduled to mature or reprice within one 
year and its interest-bearing liabilities which are scheduled to mature or 
reprice within one year.  At June 30, 1996, the Savings Bank's 
interest-earning assets maturing or repricing within one year totalled $25.3 
million while the Savings Bank's interest-bearing liabilities maturing or 
repricing within one year was $15.5 million, providing an excess of 
interest-earning assets over interest-bearing liabilities of $9.8 million.  
At June 30, 1996, the percentage of the Savings Bank's interest-earning 
assets to interest-bearing liabilities maturing or repricing within one year 
was 163.3%.  The $25.3 million of interest-earning assets maturing or 
repricing within one year includes stock subscription proceeds.  It is the 
Savings Bank's intention to reinvest this amount into investment securities 
and loan originations that fall within its Asset/Liability management 
strategy.

    The Savings Bank recognizes that its positive one-year interest rate 
sensitivity gap position currently leaves the Savings Bank exposed to 
declining interest rates.  Consequently, the Savings Bank is currently 
attempting to reduce its one-year interest rate sensitivity gap by, among 
other things, purchasing fixed-rate mortgage-backed securities.  During the 
year ended June 30, 1996, the Savings Bank purchased $2.0 million of fixed 
rate mortgage-backed securities.

   Although interest rate sensitivity gap is a useful measurement and 
contributes toward effective asset and liability management, it is difficult 
to predict the effect of changing interest rates based solely on that 
measure.  As a result, management also regularly reviews interest rate risk 
by forecasting the impact of alternative interest rate environments on net 
interest income and net portfolio value ("NPV"), which is defined as the net 
present value of a Savings Bank's existing assets, liabilities and 
off-balance sheet instruments, and evaluating such impacts against the 
maximum potential changes in net interest income and NPV.  The following 
table presents the Savings Bank's NPV as of June 30, 1996.

    Management of the Savings Bank believes that the assumptions used by it 
to evaluate the vulnerability of the Savings Bank's operations to changes in 
interest rates approximate actual experience and considers them reasonable; 
however, the interest rate sensitivity of the Savings Bank's assets and 
liabilities and the estimated effects of changes in interest rates on the 
Savings Bank's net interest income and NPV indicated in the above tables 
could vary substantially if different assumptions were used or actual 
experience differs from the historical experience on which they are based.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

    The Savings Bank's primary sources of funds are deposits, repayments, 
prepayments and maturities of outstanding loans, maturities of investment 
securities and other short-term investments, and funds provided from 
operations.  While scheduled loan repayments and maturing investment 
securities and short-term investments are relatively predictable sources of 
funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by the 
movement of interest rates in general, economic conditions and competition.  
The Savings Bank manages the pricing of its deposits to maintain a deposit 
balance deemed appropriate and desirable.  In addition, the Savings Bank 
invests in short-term investment securities and other interest-earning assets 
which provide liquidity to meet lending requirements.  Although the Savings 
Bank has been able to generate enough cash through the retail deposit market, 
its traditional funding source, the Savings Bank may, to the extent deemed 
necessary, utilize other borrowing sources, consisting primarily of advances 
from the FHLB of Pittsburgh.

    Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term function.  Excess 
liquidity is generally invested in short-term investments such as cash and 
cash equivalents, including money market investments and federal funds sold, 
and U.S. Government and agency obligations.  On a longer-term basis, the 
Savings Bank invests in various lending products and investment securities.  
The Savings Bank uses its sources of funds primarily to meet its 

                                     13


<PAGE>

ongoing commitments to pay maturing savings certificates and savings 
withdrawals, fund loan commitments and maintain an investment securities 
portfolio.  At June 30, 1996, the total commitments outstanding (excluding 
undisbursed portions of loans in process) amounted to $811,000 in mortgage 
loans and $757,000 in unused lines of credit.  At the same date, the 
unadvanced portion of loans in process approximated $1.5 million.  
Certificates of deposit scheduled to mature in one year or less at June 30, 
1996, totalled $12.2 million.  Management of the Savings Bank believes that 
the Savings Bank has adequate resources, including principal prepayments and 
repayments of loans and maturing investments, to fund all of its commitments 
to the extent required.  Based upon its historical run-off experience, 
management believes that a significant portion of maturing deposits will 
remain with the Savings Bank.  See Note 8 of the Notes to Consolidated 
Financial Statements.

    As of June 30, 1996, the Savings Bank had regulatory capital which was in 
excess of applicable limits.  See Note 10 of the Notes to Consolidated 
Financial Statements.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

    In March 1995, the FASB issued SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the 
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed of." 
SFAS No. 121 establishes accounting standards for the impairment of 
long-lived assets, certain identifiable intangibles and goodwill related to 
those assets to be held and used and for long-lived assets and certain 
identifiable intangibles to be disposed of.  The standard requires an 
impairment loss to be recognized when the carrying amount of the asset 
exceeds the fair value of the asset.  The fair value of an asset is the 
amount at which the asset could be bought or sold in a current transaction 
between willing parties, that is, other than in a forced liquidation sale. An 
entity that recognizes an impairment loss shall disclose additional 
information in the financial statements related to the impaired asset.  All 
long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles to be disposed of and 
for which management has committed to a plan to dispose of the assets, 
whether by sale or abandonment, shall be reported at the lower of the 
carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell.  Subsequent revisions in 
estimates of fair value less cost to sell shall be reported as adjustments to 
the carrying amount of assets to be disposed of, provided that the carrying 
amount of the asset does not exceed the carrying amount of the asset before 
an adjustment was made to reflect the decision to dispose of the asset.  The 
statement requires additional disclosure in the footnotes regarding assets to 
be disposed of.

    In October 1995, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for 
Stock-Based Compensation," establishing financial accounting and reporting 
standards for stock-based employee compensation plans.  This statement 
encourages all entities to adopt a new method of accounting to measure 
compensation cost of all employee stock compensation plans based on the 
estimated fair value of the award at the date it is granted.  Companies are, 
however, allowed to continue to measure compensation cost for those plans 
using the intrinsic value based method of accounting, which generally does 
not result in compensation expense recognition for most plans.  Companies 
that elect to remain with the existing accounting are required to disclose in 
a footnote to the financial statements pro forma net income and, if 
presented, earnings per share, as if this Statement had been adopted.  The 
accounting requirements of this Statement are effective for transactions 
entered into fiscal years that begin after December 15, 1995; however, 
companies are required to disclose information for awards granted in their 
first fiscal year beginning after December 15, 1994.  Management of the 
Savings Bank has not completed an analysis of the potential effects of this 
Statement on the Savings Bank's financial condition or results of operations.

    In June 1996, the FASB issued SFAS No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers and 
Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities."  Pursuant 
to SFAS No. 125, after a transfer of financial assets, an entity would be 
required to recognize all financial assets and servicing it controls and 
liabilities it has incurred and, conversely, would not be required to 
recognize financial assets when control has been surrendered and liabilities 
when extinguished. SFAS No. 125 provides standards for distinguishing 
transfers of financial assets that are sales from transfers that are secured 
borrowings. SFAS No. 125 will be effective with respect to the transfer and 

                                      14

servicing of financial assets and the extinguishment of liabilities occurring 
after December 31, 1996, with earlier application prohibited. The Savings 
Bank has not completed an analysis of the potential effects of this Statement 
on the Savings Bank's financial condition or results of operations. 

IMPACT OF INFLATION AND CHANGING PRICES

    The Consolidated Financial Statements of the Savings Bank and related 
notes presented herein have been prepared in accordance with generally 
accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") which require 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 
prices 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 Savings Bank's 
assets and liabilities are critical to the maintenance of acceptable 
performance levels.

                        INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
                                           

The Board of Trustees
Pennwood Savings Bank:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Pennwood
Savings Bank and subsidiary (the Bank) as of June_30, 1996 and 1995, and the
related consolidated statements of income, net worth and cash flows for the
years then ended.  These consolidated financial statements are the
responsibility of the Bank's management.  Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion. 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Pennwood Savings
Bank and subsidiary as of June_30, 1996 and 1995, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

As discussed in note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Bank
adopted the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board's Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments
in Debt and Equity Securities," in 1995.

(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

    Pennwood Savings Bank and subsidiary (the Bank) is primarily engaged in the
      business of attracting retail deposits from the general public and using
      such funds to invest in residential and commercial mortgage and consumer
      loans. The Bank is subject to competition from other financial 
      institutions. The Bank is also subject to the regulations of certain 
      federal and state agencies and undergoes periodic examinations by those
      regulatory authorities.

    The following comprise the significant accounting policies which the Bank
      follows in preparing and presenting their consolidated financial 
      statements:

    Principles of Consolidation

    The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
      Pennwood Savings Bank and its wholly owned subsidiary, Pennwood Service
      Corporation.  All significant intercompany transactions and balances have
      been eliminated in consolidation.

    Basis of Presentation

    The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally
      accepted accounting principles.  In preparing the financial statements,
      management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
      reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance
      sheet and revenues and expenses for the period.  Actual results could 
      differ significantly from those estimates.

    Cash and Cash Equivalents

    For the purposes of the statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents
      include cash on hand and amounts due from depository institutions, federal
      funds sold and interest-bearing deposits.

    Investment and Mortgage-Backed Securities

    Effective July_1, 1994, the Bank adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
      Standards (SFAS) No._115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and
      Equity Securities."  SFAS No._115 requires that investments be classified
      into three categories:  (1) Securities Held to Maturity -- reported at 
      amortized cost, (2) Trading Securities -- reported at fair value and (3)
      Securities Available for Sale -- reported at fair value.  Unrealized 
      holding gains and losses for trading securities are included in earnings
      while unrealized holding gains and losses for securities available for 
      sale are reported as a separate component of net worth, net of income
      taxes.

                                                                     (Continued)

    Purchases and sales of securities are accounted for on a settlement-date
      basis which is not materially different than use of the trade-date basis.
      Gains and losses on the sale of securities are recognized upon realization
      using the specific identification method. Amortization of premiums and 
      accretion of discounts are calculated using a method which approximates
      the level-yield method.

    In October_1994, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
      SFAS No._119, "Disclosures about Financial Instruments and Fair Value of
      Financial Instruments."  The Bank adopted SFAS No._119 as of July 1995.
      The adoption of SFAS No. 119 had no material impact to the Bank's 
      financial position or results of operations.

    Loans Receivable

    Loans are stated at their unpaid principal balances less allowances for
      anticipated losses.  Monthly loan payments are scheduled to include 
      interest. Interest on loans is credited to income as earned.  Interest
      earned on loans for which no payments were received during the month is 
      accrued. Unearned interest on consumer loans is recognized over the lives
      of the loans using a method that approximates the level-yield method. An
      allowance is established for accrued interest deemed to be uncollectible,
      generally when a loan is ninety days or more delinquent except when the 
      estimated value of the collateral and collection efforts are deemed 
      sufficient to ensure full recovery.  Such interest ultimately collected is
      credited to income in the period received.  Monthly mortgage loan payments
      are adjusted annually to cover insurance and tax requirements.

    Loan origination fees and certain direct loan costs are deferred, and the
      net fee or cost is recognized in income using a method which approximates
      the level-yield method over the contractual life of the loans.

                                                                     (Continued)

    On July 1, 1995, the Bank adopted SFAS No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors
      for Impairment of a Loan," and SFAS No. 118, "Accounting by Creditors for
      Impairment of a Loan - Income Recognition and Disclosures," which provide
      guidelines for measuring and reporting impairment losses on loans. A loan
      is considered to be impaired when it is probable that the Bank will be 
      unable to collect all principal and interest amounts due according to the
      contractual terms of the loan agreement.  All nonperforming loans, 
      excluding consumer and single family residential loans, are considered to
      be impaired loans.  Impaired loans are required to be measured based upon
      the present value of expected future cash flows, discounted at the loan's
      initial effective interest rate, or at the loan's market price or fair 
      value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.  If the loan 
      valuation is less than the recorded value of the loan, an impairment 
      reserve must be established for the difference by either an allocation of
      the allowance for loan losses or by a provision for loan losses, depending
      on the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses.  As of June_30, 1996, 
      there were $446 of nonperforming consumer and single family residential 
      loans that have been collectively evaluated for impairment. Estimated 
      impairment losses for the loans are based on various factors including 
      past loss experience, recent economic conditions, portfolio delinquency
      rates and fair value of the underlying collateral.  Included in impaired
      loans at June 30, 1996, was $60 that had a related impairment reserve of
      $30. Average impaired loans during the year ended June_30, 1996, were 
      $192.  During the year, the Bank recognized $5 of interest revenue on 
      impaired loans, all of which was recognized using the cash basis method of
      income recognition.

    Provision for Loan Losses

    Provisions for estimated losses on loans are charged to earnings in an
      amount that results in an allowance for loan losses sufficient, in 
      management's judgment, to cover anticipated losses based on management's 
      periodic evaluation of known and inherent risks in the loan portfolio, 
      past and expected future loss experience of the Bank, current economic 
      conditions, adverse situations which may affect a specific borrower's 
      ability to repay, the estimated value of any underlying collateral and 
      other relevant factors.

    Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change
      in the near-term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan 
      losses. Management believes that the allowance for loan losses is 
      adequate.  While management uses available information to recognize losses
      on loans, future additions to the allowance may be necessary based on 
      changes in economic conditions.  In addition, various regulatory agencies,
      as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the
      Bank's allowance for loan losses.  Such agencies can require the Bank to 
      adjust the allowance based on their judgments about information available
      to them at the time of their examination.

                                                                     (Continued)

    Real Estate Owned

    Real estate owned (properties acquired by foreclosure or voluntarily
      conveyed by delinquent borrowers in lieu of foreclosure) are recorded as
      of the acquisition date at the lower of cost or fair value less estimated
      costs to sell as established by a current appraisal.  Costs relating to 
      development and improvement of the property are capitalized, whereas costs
      relating to the holding of such real estate are expensed as incurred.  
      Subsequent to acquisition, valuations are periodically performed by 
      management; and the carrying value of the real estate acquired is 
      subsequently adjusted by establishing a valuation allowance and 
      recording a charge to operations if the carrying value of a property 
      exceeds its estimated fair value less estimated costs to sell.  Gains and
      losses from the sale of real estate are recognized upon sale and are based
      upon the net carrying value of the related property.

    Premises and Equipment

    Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and
      amortization.  Depreciation for financial reporting purposes is computed
      using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the 
      related assets of five to forty years.  Leasehold improvements are 
      amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the related lease
      or the estimated useful life of the improvement.  Accelerated methods are
      used for income tax purposes.

    Interest on Savings Deposits

    Interest on savings deposits is accrued and charged to expense monthly and
      is paid or credited in accordance with the terms of the respective 
      accounts.

    Income Taxes

    Income taxes are based on financial statement income after giving effect to
      special rules applicable to savings banks under income tax laws.

    Deferred taxes are provided for under the asset and liability method of
      accounting for income taxes.  Under the asset and liability method, 
      deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax 
      consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement
      carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective
      tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted
      tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those
      temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  The effect
      on deferred tax assets and liabilities of achange in tax rates is 
      recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

    Pension Plan

    Current costs of the pension plan are charged to expense and funded as
      accrued.  There are no unfunded vested benefits as of June 30, 1996 and
      1995.

                                                                     (Continued)

    Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long 
as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. 
Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination 
clauses and may require payment of a fee.  The Bank evaluates each customer's 
credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis.  The amount of collateral 
obtained, if deemed necessary by the Bank upon extension of credit, is based 
on management's credit evaluation of the borrower.  The collateral consists 
primarily of residential real estate and personal property.  As of June_30, 
1996, the Bank had outstanding fixed rate commitments to originate and fund 
first mortgage loans and construction loans of approximately $2,283.  Unused 
customer lines of credit approximated $757 as of June 30, 1996.

    Nonaccrual loans for which interest has been reduced totaled 
approximately $308 and $1,413 as of June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  
The interest that would have been recorded on these loans for the years ended 
June 30, 1996 and 1995, was approximately $29 and $97, respectively.  The 
amount of interest income recognized for the same periods was approximately 
$6 and $32.  The Bank is not committed to lend additional funds to debtors 
whose loans have been placed on nonaccrual status.

(9) Income Taxes

    The Bank qualifies to be taxed under income tax rules applicable to savings
       banks and is entitled to a special bad debt deduction based on a 
       percentage of taxable income.  To the extent the amount exceeds the 
       deduction that would have been allowable under the experience method,
       it is subject to a minimum tax on preference items.

    The provision for income taxes for the years ended June 30, 1996 and 1995,
       consists of the following:

                                                      1996      1995

    The Bank has determined that it was not required to establish a valuation
       allowance for deferred tax assets in accordance with SFAS No. 109 since 
       it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will be realized
       through carryback to taxable income in prior years, future reversal of
       existing temporary differences and, to a lesser extent, future taxable
       income.  The net deferred tax asset is included as a component of prepaid
       expenses and other assets in the consolidated balance sheets.

    As a result of the special tax treatment accorded the Bank under income tax
       regulations, approximately $979 of balances in retained earnings at June
       30, 1995 (the most recent date for which a tax return has been filed),
       represent allocations of income to bad debt deductions for tax purposes
       only.  No provision for federal income tax has been made for such amount.
       If any portion of that amount is used other than to absorb loan losses
       (which is not anticipated), taxable income will be generated subject to
       tax at the rate then in effect.

    On August 20, 1996, President Clinton signed legislation which will
       eliminate the percentage of taxable income bad debt deduction for 
       thrift institutions for tax years beginning after December 31, 1995.
       This new legislation also requires a thrift to generally recapture the
       excess of its current tax reserves in excess of its 1987 base year 
       reserves.  As the Bank has previously provided deferred taxes on this 
       amount, no financial statement tax expense should result from this new 
       legislation.

(10) Net Worth

    The Bank 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 Bank's financial statements.  Under 
       capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt 
       corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that
       involve quantitative measures of the Bank's assets, liabilities and 
       certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory 
       accounting practices.  The Bank'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 Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in
       the table below) of total and Tier I Capital (as defined in the 
       regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier I Capital
       (as defined) to average assets (as defined).  Management believes, as of
       June 30, 1996, that the Bank meets all capital adequacy requirements to 
       which it is subject.

    As of June 30, 1996, the most recent notification from the Federal Deposit
       Insurance Corporation categorized the Bank as "well capitalized" under
       the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action.  To be categorized
       as "well capitalized" the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, 
       Tier I risk based, 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 Bank's category.

(11)  Pension Plan

      The Bank participates in a retirement plan which covers substantially all
        employees through the Financial Institution Retirement Fund (the Fund),
        a qualified multi-employer defined benefit plan.  The Fund does not
        compute and provide separate actuarial valuations or segregation of
        plan assets by employer. Pension expense was $-0- for the years ended
        June 30, 1996 and 1995.  The Bank has been notified by the plan
        administrator that the plan is fully funded for the plan year beginning
        July 1, 1995.

                                                                   (Continued)

(12)  Concentration of Credit Risk

      The Bank is primarily engaged in the business of attracting retail
        deposits from the general public and using such funds to invest in
        residential and commercial mortgage loans and consumer loans.  The
        Bank conducts its business through three offices located in the
        Pittsburgh and Kittanning areas of Pennsylvania.  As of June 30, 1996,
        the majority of the Bank's loan portfolio was secured by properties
        located in these geographical areas.  The Bank utilizes established
        loan underwriting procedures which generally require the taking of
        collateral to secure loans.  Given its underwriting and collateral
        requirements, the Bank does not believe it has significant
        concentrations of credit risk to any one group of borrowers.

(13)  Charter Conversion

      As of July_28, 1993, the Bank completed the conversion of its charter
        from a Pennsylvania-chartered mutual savings association to a
        Pennsylvania-chartered mutual savings bank.  This conversion removed
        the Office of Thrift Supervision as the Bank's primary federal
        regulator and replaced it with the FDIC.

(14)  Contingencies

      The Bank is subject to asserted and unasserted potential claims
        encountered in the normal course of business.  In the opinion of
        management and legal counsel, the resolution of these claims will not
        have a material adverse effect on the Bank's financial position or
        results of operations.

      The undercapitalized status of the FDIC's Savings Association Insurance
        Fund has resulted in the introduction of federal legislation to
        recapitalize the SAIF which, if enacted, would require thrifts like
        Pennwood Savings Bank to pay a one-time charge of seventy-five to
        eighty cents for every one hundred dollars of deposits to recapitalize
        the depleted insurance fund.  Based on total deposits of $37,470 at
        March 31, 1995, this could result in a one-time charge of approximately
        $281 to $300 on a pre-tax basis ($185 to $198 after tax) to the Bank
        during 1997.

(15)  Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments

      SFAS No. 107, "Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments,"
        requires disclosure of fair value information about financial
        instruments, whether or not recognized in the balance sheet, for which
        it is practicable to estimate that value.  In cases where quoted market
        prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using
        present value or other valuation techniques.  Those techniques are
        significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount
        rate and estimates of future cash flows.  In that regard, the derived
        fair value estimates cannot be sustained by comparison of independent
        markets and, in many cases, could not be realized in immediate
        settlement of the instrument.  SFAS No._107 excludes certain financial
        instruments and all nonfinancial instruments from its disclosure
        requirements.  Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts do not
        represent the underlying value of the Bank.

                                                                    (Continued)

                         PENNWOOD SAVINGS BANK AND SUBSIDIARY

                Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Continued

                            (Dollar amounts in thousands)


      Management has made estimates of fair value discount rates that it
        believes to be reasonable considering expected prepayment rates, rates
        offered in the geographic areas in which the Bank competes, credit
        risk and liquidity risk.  However, because there is not active market
        for many of these financial instruments, management has no basis to
        verify whether the resulting fair value estimates would be indicative
        of the value negotiated in an actual sale.

      The following methods and assumptions were used by the Bank in estimating
        its fair value disclosures for financial instruments:

        Cash and cash equivalents:  The carrying amounts reported in the
        balance sheets for cash, federal funds sold and money market
        investments approximates those assets' fair values.

        Investment and mortgage-backed securities:  Fair values for investment
        securities are based on quoted market prices where available, dealer
        quotes or prices obtained from independent pricing services.  See notes
        2 and 3 of the consolidated financial statements for a detail breakdown
        of these securities.

        Loans receivable:  The fair values for one- to four-family residential
        loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses using yields
        from similar products in the secondary markets.  The carrying amount of
        construction loans approximates its fair value given their short-term
        nature.  The fair values of consumer and other loans are estimated
        using discounted cash flow analyses, using interest rates reported in
        various government releases and the Bank's own product pricing schedule
        for loans with terms similar to the Bank's.  The fair values of
        multi-family and nonresidential mortgages are estimated using
        discounted cash flow analysis, using interest rates based on a national
        survey of similar loans.  The carrying amount of accrued interest
        approximate its fair value.

        Savings deposits:  The fair values disclosed for demand deposits (e.g.,
        passbook, savings accounts) are, by definition, equal to the amount
        payable on demand at the repricing date (i.e., their carrying amounts).
        Fair values of certificates of deposits are estimated using a
        discounted cash flow calculation that applies a comparable Federal Home
        Loan Bank advance rate to the aggregated weighted average maturity on
        time deposits.

        Off-balance-sheet instruments:  Fair values for the Bank's
        off-balance-sheet instruments (e.g., lending commitments) are based on
        their carrying value, taking into account the remaining terms and
        conditions of the agreements.

                                                                   (Continued)

          No. 107, whose estimated fair value is not represented by the

(16)  Conversion to Stock Form of Ownership

      On February_20, 1996, as amended on April_6, 1996, the Board of Trustees
        adopted a plan of conversion whereby the Bank would be converted from a
        Pennsylvania mutual savings bank to a Pennsylvania stock savings bank.
        The conversion was completed on July_12, 1996, and the Bank issued
        610,128 shares of its common stock resulting in $6,101,280 of gross
        proceeds to the Bank.  Costs of the common stock offering of $420,524
        were deducted from the offering proceeds.

      At the completion of the conversion to stock form, the Bank established a
        liquidation account in the amount of retained earnings set forth in
        the offering circular utilized in the conversion.  The liquidation
        account will be maintained for the benefit of eligible savings account
        holders who maintain deposit accounts in the Bank after conversion.  In
        the event of a complete liquidation (and only in such event), each
        eligible savings account holder will be entitled to receive a
        liquidation distribution from the liquidation account in the amount of
        the then current adjusted balance of deposit accounts held, before any
        liquidation distribution may be made with respect to the common shares.
        Except for the repurchase of stock and payment of dividends by the
        Bank, the existence of the liquidation account will not restrict the
        use or further application of such retained earnings.

      The Bank may not declare or pay a cash dividend on, or repurchase any of
        its common shares if the effect thereof would cause the Bank's
        stockholders' equity to be reduced below either the amount required
        for the liquidation account or the regulatory capital requirements
        for insured institutions.

                                PENNWOOD SAVINGS BANK
                   NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 -- BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in 
accordance with instructions to Form F-4. Accordingly, they do not include 
all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted 
accounting principles for complete financial statements. However, such 
information presented reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of normal 
recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for 
a fair statement of results for the interim periods.

The results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 1996 are 
not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending 
June 30, 1997. The unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes 
thereto should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements 
and notes thereto for the year ended June 30, 1996.

NOTE 2 -- PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Pennwood 
Savings Bank ("the Savings Bank") include the accounts of the Savings Bank 
and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Pennwood Service Corporation. All 
significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

NOTE 3 -- CONVERSION TO STOCK FORM OF OWNERSHIP

On February 20, 1996, as amended on April 6, 1996, the Board of Trustees 
adopted a plan of conversion whereby the Savings Bank would be converted from 
a Pennsylvania mutual savings bank to a Pennsylvania stock savings bank. The 
conversion was completed on July 12, 1996, and the Savings Bank issued 
610,128 shares of common stock resulting in $6,101,280 of gross proceeds to 
the Savings Bank. Costs of the common stock offering of approximately 
$441,000 were deducted from the offering proceeds.

At the completion of the conversion to stock form, the Savings Bank 
established a liquidation account in the amount of retained earnings set 
forth in the offering circular utilized in the conversion. The liquidation 
account will be maintained for the benefit of eligible savings account 
holders who maintain deposit accounts in the Savings Bank after conversion. 
In the event of a complete liquidation (and only in such event), each 
eligible savings account holder will be entitled to receive a liquidation 
distribution from the liquidation account in the amount of the then current 
adjusted balance of deposit accounts held, before any liquidation 
distribution may be made with respect to the common shares. Except for the 
repurchase of stock and payment of dividends by the Savings Bank, the 
existence of the liquidation account will not restrict the use or further 
application of such retained earnings.

The Savings Bank may not declare or pay a cash dividend on, or repurchase any 
of its common shares if the effect thereof would cause the Savings Bank's 
stockholders' equity to be reduced below either the amount required for the 
liquidation account or the regulatory capital requirements for insured 
institutions.

NOTE 4 -- EARNINGS PER SHARE

Earnings per share ("EPS") is computed by dividing net income or loss by the 
weighted average number of common shares and common stock equivalents 
outstanding during the period. Such shares amounted to 561,318 at September 
30, 1996. Shares outstanding for the three months ended September 30, 1996 do 
not include 48,810 of ESOP shares that were purchased and unallocated during 
the three months ended September 30, 1996 in accordance with SOP 93-6 
"Employers' Accounting for Employee Stock Ownership Plans." There were no 
common stock equivalents outstanding during the three months ended September 
30, 1996.

                                      7


<PAGE>

For the three months ended September 30, 1995, the provisions of Accounting 
Principles Board Opinion No. 15, "Earnings Per Share," are not applicable as 
the Savings Bank converted to the stock form of ownership in July 1996.

There were no dividends declared during the three months ended September 30, 
1996. Accordingly, no dividend per share information has been presented.

NOTE 5 -- SPECIAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE ASSESSMENT

On September 30, 1996, congressional legislation was enacted which is 
designed to recapitalize the Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF") and 
to eliminate the substantial deposit premium disparity between Bank Insurance 
Fund and SAIF-insured institutions. The legislation imposes a one-time 
assessment on all SAIF-insured deposits as of March 31, 1995. This assessment 
totals $247,000 and is reflected in the other expenses section of the 
consolidated statement of income for the three months ended September 30, 
1996.

NOTE 6 -- EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN ("ESOP")

In connection with the conversion to stock form of ownership, the Savings 
Bank formed an ESOP. The ESOP covers employees who have completed at least 
1000 hours of service during a twelve month period and have attained the age 
of 21. The ESOP borrowed $488,000 from an independent third party lender to 
fund the purchase of 48,810 shares or 8% of the shares issued in the 
conversion. The loan to the ESOP will be repaid from scheduled discretionary 
cash contributions from the Savings Bank sufficient to service the debt over 
a ten year period. Shares are released and allocated to the participants on 
the basis of a compensation formula. Compensation expense for the three 
months ended September 30, 1996 was approximately $13,000.

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

GENERAL

    The operating results of Pennwood Savings Bank (the "Savings Bank") depend
primarily upon its net interest income, which is determined by the difference
between interest income on interest-earning assets, which consist principally of
loans, investment securities and other investments, and interest expense on
interest-bearing liabilities, which consist principally of deposits.  The
Savings Bank's net income also is affected by its provision for loan losses, as
well as the level of its other income, including loan fees and service charges
and miscellaneous items, and its other expenses, including compensation and
other employee benefits, premises and occupancy costs, federal deposit insurance
premiums, data processing expense, net loss on real estate owned and other
miscellaneous expenses, and income taxes.  

    On July 12, 1996, the Savings Bank completed its conversion from the mutual
to the stock form (the "Conversion").  In the Conversion, the Savings Bank
issued 610,128 shares of common stock, which resulted in net proceeds to the
Savings Bank of approximately $5.7 million.

CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION

    The Savings Bank's total assets decreased by $675,000 or 1.4% from $46.9
million at June 30, 1996 to $46.2 million at September 30, 1996.  The decrease
in total assets was primarily due to a decrease in money market investments
which was offset by an increase in investment securities as a result of the use
of funds received from stock subscriptions in the Conversion.   During the three
months ended September 30, 1996, the Savings Bank's investment and
mortgage-backed securities (classified as available for sale) increased by $4.5
million from $10.3 million at June 30, 1996 to $14.8 million at September 30,
1996, and money market investments (consisting of interest-bearing deposits,
including certificates of deposit, with other financial institutions) decreased
by $4.7 million or 50.1%, while federal funds remained constant at $300,000. 
During the three months ended September 30, 1996, the Savings Bank's investment
securities held-to-maturity decreased by $649,000 or 21.7%.  Cash and amounts
due from depository institutions increased by $75,000 or 14.6% during the three
months ended September 30, 1996.  The Savings Bank's net loans receivable
increased $255,000 or 1.2% during the quarter.  During the quarter, the Savings
Bank's total liabilities decreased by $5.8 million as a result of the issuance
of stock in the Conversion for subscriptions held at June 30, 1996. 
Stockholders equity increased by $5.2 million during the three months ended
September 30, 1996 as a result of $5.7 million of equity issued in the
Conversion, which was partially offset by $488,000 of common stock transferred
to the Savings Bank's Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP") established in
connection with the Conversion and a net loss of $17,000 during the quarter.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

    NET INCOME.  The Savings Bank reported a net loss of $17,000 for the three
months ended September 30, 1996 compared to net income of $107,000 during the
three months ended September 30, 1995.  The $124,000 decrease in net income
during such period as compared to the 1995 period was the result a $247,000
pre-tax charge for a one-time special assessment by the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") to recapitalize the Savings Association Insurance
Fund ("SAIF").  Without the special assessment, the Savings Bank net income for
the quarter would have been $129,000 or an increase of $22,000 or 20.6% from the
1995 comparable quarter.  The net loss for the quarter was the result of an
increase of $73,000 or 17.3% in net interest income and a $39,000 income tax
benefit compared to a $56,000 provision for income tax expense in the 1995
quarter, which was more than offset by an increase of $293,000 in total other
expenses related to the $247,000 special one-time SAIF assessment, an increase
of $5,000 in the provision for loan losses and an increase of $6,000 or 28.6% in
total other income.

    For the three months ended September 30, 1996, the Savings Bank's net
interest margin increased by 35 basis points to 4.58% from 4.23% for the three
months ended September 30, 1995.  The average yield earned on the Savings Bank's
interest-earning assets decreased by 37 basis points, which was offset by a 15
basis point decrease in the average rate paid on the Savings Bank's
interest-bearing liabilities.

    NET INTEREST INCOME.  Net interest income increased by $73,000 or 17.3%
during the three months ended September 30, 1996, as compared to the 1995
quarter, due to a $3.7 million or 9.2% increase in the average balance of
interest-earning assets, which more than offset a 37 basis point decrease in the
average yield earned thereon, as well as a $2.1 million or 5.7% decrease in the
average balance of interest-bearing liabilities and a 15 basis point decrease in
the average rate paid thereon.

    During the three months ended September 30, 1996, total interest income
increased by $39,000 or 4.5%, as compared to the same period in 1995, primarily
due to a $94,000 or 68.1% increase in interest earned on investment securities,
a $47,000 increase in interest earned on mortgage backed securities and a
$29,000 or 43.2% increase in interest earned on money market investments.  These
increases were partially offset by a $81,000 or 13.5% decrease in interest
earned on loans and a $50,000 or 87.7% decrease in interest earned on federal
funds sold.  The increase in interest earned on investment securities was due
primarily to a $6.6 million or 76.0% increase in the average balance of
investment securities together with a 93 basis point increase in average yield
earned thereon.  The decrease in interest earned on federal funds sold was due
primarily to the reduction of the amount of federal funds sold.  The increase in
the average balance of the Savings Bank's investment securities reflected the
proceeds of the Conversion as well as the Savings Bank's reinvestment of a
portion of its money market investments and federal funds sold into higher
yielding U.S. Government and agency obligations.  The decrease in interest
earned

                                      10

<PAGE>

on loans was due to a $2.2 million or 9.6% decrease in the average
balance of loans outstanding as well as a 44 basis point decrease in the average
yield earned thereon.

    During the three months ended September 30, 1996, total interest expense
decreased by $34,000 or 7.7%, as compared to the same period in 1995, due to a
decrease of $1.3 million or 5.6% in the average balance of certificates of
deposit and a 21 basis point decrease on the average rate paid thereon.

    PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES.   The Savings Bank establishes provisions for
losses on loans, which are charged to operations, in order to maintain the
allowance for loan losses at a level which is deemed to be appropriate based
upon an assessment of prior loss experience, the volume and type of lending
presently being conducted by the Savings Bank, industry standards, past due
loans, economic conditions in the Savings Bank's market area generally and other
factors related to the collectibility of the Savings Bank's loan portfolio. 
During the three months ended September 30, 1996, the Savings Bank established
provisions for loan losses of $8,000.

    OTHER INCOME.  Total other income increased by $6,000 or 28.6% during the
three months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to the same quarter in 1995. 
The increase was primarily due to an increase of $4,000 or 80.0% in income from
service charges and an increase of $2,000 or 12.5% in other miscellaneous income
(which consists primarily of rental income earned on real estate owned, late
charges, service charges and other miscellaneous fees). 

    OTHER EXPENSES.  Total other expenses increased by $293,000 during the
three months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to the same quarter in 1995
primarily because of the special one-time SAIF assessment of $247,000.  Also
contributing to the increase in other expenses during the three months ended
September 30, 1996 compared to the 1995 quarter were an increase of $20,000 or
16.5% in compensation and employee benefits, an increase of $1,000 or 1.9% in
premises and occupancy costs, a $12,000 net loss on real estate owned and a
$14,000 or 22.9% increase in other miscellaneous operating expenses, which were
partially offset by a $3,000 or 13.6% decrease in data processing expense.

    PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES.  The Savings Bank incurred an income tax
benefit of $39,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1996, due to a tax
credit of $112,000 on the SAIF assessment, as compared to a provision for income
taxes of $56,000 for the 1995 quarter.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

    The Savings Bank's primary sources of funds are deposits, repayments, 
prepayments and maturities of outstanding loans, maturities of investment 
securities and other short-term investments, and funds provided from 
operations. While scheduled loan repayments and maturing investment 
securities and short-term investments are relatively predictable sources of 
funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by the 
movement of interest rates in general, economic conditions and competition.  
The Savings Bank manages the pricing of its deposits to maintain a deposit 
balance deemed appropriate and desirable.  In addition, the Savings Bank 
invests in short-term investment securities and other interest-earning assets 
which provide liquidity to meet lending requirements.  Although the Savings 
Bank has been able to generate enough cash through the retail deposit market, 
its traditional funding source, the Savings Bank may, to the extent deemed 
necessary, utilize other borrowing sources, consisting primarily of advances 
from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh.

    Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term function.  Excess
liquidity is generally invested in short-term investments such as cash and cash
equivalents, including money market investments and federal funds sold, and U.S.
Government and agency obligations.  On a longer-term basis, the Savings Bank
invests in various lending products and investment securities.  The Savings Bank
uses its sources of funds primarily to meet its ongoing commitments to pay
maturing savings certificates and savings withdrawals, fund loan commitments and
maintain an investment securities portfolio.  At September 30, 1996, the total
commitments outstanding (excluding undisbursed portions of loans in process)
amounted to $366,000 in mortgage loans and $721,000 in unused lines of credit. 
At the same date, the unadvanced portion of loans in process approximated $2.1
million.  Certificates of deposit scheduled to mature in three months or less at
September 30, 1996, totalled $3.8 million.  Management of the Savings Bank
believes that the Savings Bank has adequate resources, including principal
prepayments and repayments of loans and maturing investments, to fund all of its
commitments to the extent required.  Based upon its historical run-off
experience, management believes that a significant portion of maturing deposits
will remain with the Savings Bank.

    As of September 30, 1996, the Savings Bank had regulatory capital which was
in excess of required amounts.

RECENT LEGISLATION

    The deposits of the Savings Bank are insured by the SAIF which is
administered by the FDIC.  The FDIC also administers the Bank Insurance Fund
("BIF") which generally provides insurance for commercial bank deposits.  Each
of the SAIF and the BIF are required by law to attain and maintain a reserve
ratio of 1.25% of insured deposits.  As the result of the BIF achieving a fully
funded status, the FDIC promulgated a regulation in

November 1995, which reduced deposit premiums paid by BIF-insured banks in 
the lowest risk category from 27 basis points to zero (subject to an annual 
minimum of $2,000). 

    On September 30, 1996, legislation was enacted into law to recapitalize the
SAIF through a one-time special assessment on SAIF-insured deposits as of March
31, 1995.  The special assessment amounted to approximately $4.5 billion or
approximately $.65 for every $100 of assessable deposits.  The Savings Bank's
assessment amounted to $247,000 ($146,000, net of income tax benefit).  As a
result of the special assessment, it is anticipated that the Savings Bank's
deposit insurance premiums will decrease from the current rate of $0.23 per $100
of deposits to approximately $0.06 per $100 of deposits.
