         Advance Financial Bancorp (the "Company" or "Registrant") may from time
to time make written or oral "forward-looking  statements," including statements
contained in the Company's  filings with the Securities and Exchange  Commission
(including this Annual Report on Form 10-KSB and the exhibits  thereto),  in its
reports to Stockholders and in other  communications  by the Company,  which are
made in good faith by the Company  pursuant to the "Safe  Harbor"  provisions of
the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

         These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties,  such
as statements of the Company's plans,  objectives,  expectations,  estimates and
intentions,  that are subject to change based on various important factors (some
of which are beyond the Company's control). The following factors, among others,
could cause the Company's  financial  performance to differ  materially from the
plans,  objectives,  expectations,  estimates and  intentions  expressed in such
forward-looking statements: the strength of the United States economy in general
and  the  strength  of  the  local  economies  in  which  the  Company  conducts
operations;  the effects of, and changes in, trade, monetary and fiscal policies
and laws,  including  interest  rate  policies of the Board of  Governors of the
Federal  Reserve  System,   inflation,   interest  rate,   market  and  monetary
fluctuations;  the timely  development  of and  acceptance  of new  products and
services of the company and the perceived  overall  value of these  products and
services by users,  including  the  features,  pricing  and quality  compared to
competitors'  products and  services;  the  willingness  of users to  substitute
competitors' products and services for the Company's products and services;  the
success of the  Company in  gaining  regulatory  approval  of its  products  and
services,  when required;  the impact of changes in financial services' laws and
regulations   (including  laws  concerning   taxes,   banking,   securities  and
insurance);  technological changes;  acquisitions;  changes in consumer spending
and  savings  habits;  and the  success  of the  Company at  managing  the risks
involved in the foregoing.

         The Company  cautions that the foregoing  list of important  factors is
not  exclusive.  The Company does not  undertake  to update any  forward-looking
statement,  whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time by or on
behalf of the company.

Item 1.  Business
-----------------

General

         The Company is a Delaware  corporation  organized in September  1996 at
the direction of Advance  Financial  Savings Bank (the "Bank") to acquire all of
the  capital  stock that the Bank  issued in its  conversion  from the mutual to
stock form of ownership  (the  "Conversion").  On December  31,  1996,  the Bank
completed the  Conversion  and became a wholly owned  subsidiary of the Company.
The Company is a unitary savings and loan holding company which,  under existing
laws,  generally is not restricted in the types of business  activities in which
it may engage provided that the Bank retains a specified amount of its assets in
housing-related  investments.  The Company  conducts no significant  business or
operations  of its own other than  holding all of the  outstanding  stock of the
Bank.   References  to  the  Company  or  Registrant  generally  refers  to  the
consolidated entity which includes the main operating company,  the Bank, unless
the context indicates otherwise.

         The Bank is a federally  chartered stock savings bank  headquartered in
Wellsburg,  West  Virginia.  It is  subject  to  examination  and  comprehensive
regulation  by the Office of Thrift  Supervision  ("OTS") and its  deposits  are
federally insured by the Savings Association  Insurance Fund ("SAIF").  The Bank
is a

                                        1

<PAGE>



member of and owns capital stock in the FHLB of Pittsburgh,  which is one of the
12 regional banks in the FHLB System.

         The Bank  operates a  traditional  savings  bank  business,  attracting
deposit accounts from the general public and using those deposits, together with
other  funds,  primarily  to  originate  and invest in loans  secured by one- to
four-family residential real estate, non-residential real estate, and commercial
loans.  To a lesser extent,  the Bank also originates  multi-family  real estate
loans and consumer loans.

Competition

         The competition for deposit products comes from other insured financial
institutions such as commercial banks, thrift  institutions,  credit unions, and
multi-state regional banks in the Registrant's market area of Brooke and Hancock
counties of West Virginia and portions of Jefferson County,  Ohio and Washington
County,  Pennsylvania.  Deposit  competition also includes a number of insurance
products sold by local agents and  investment  products such as mutual funds and
other securities sold by local and regional  brokers.  Loan  competition  varies
depending  upon  market  conditions  and  comes  from  other  insured  financial
institutions  such as commercial  banks,  thrift  institutions,  credit  unions,
multi-state regional banks, and mortgage bankers.

         One- to Four-Family Residential Loans. The Registrant's primary lending
activity consists of the origination of one- to four-family residential mortgage
loans secured by property  located in its primary  market areas.  The Registrant
generally  originates  owner-occupied one- to four-family  residential  mortgage
loans in amounts up to 80% of the lesser of the appraised value or selling price
of the mortgaged property without requiring mortgage  insurance.  The Registrant
will  originate  a  mortgage  loan in an amount  up to 95% of the  lesser of the
appraised  value or selling  price of a mortgaged  property,  however,  mortgage
insurance  is  required  for  the  amount  in  excess  of  80%  of  such  value.
Non-owner-occupied  residential  mortgage  loans are originated up to 80% of the
lesser of the appraised value or selling price of the property. Fixed-rate loans
can have maturities of up to 30 years depending on the type of loan.

         For all  adjustable-rate  mortgage loans,  the Registrant  requires the
borrower to qualify at the initial  index  interest  rate.  The  adjustable-rate
mortgage loans provide for periodic  interest rate  adjustments of plus or minus
1% to 2% with a maximum adjustment over the term of the loan as set forth in the
loan agreement and usually ranges from 6% to 7% above the initial  interest rate
depending on the terms of the loan. Adjustable-rate mortgage loans reprice every
year,  every three years or every five years,  and provide for terms of up to 30
years with most loans having terms of between 15 and 30 years.

                                        4
<PAGE>

         The  Registrant  offers  adjustable-rate  mortgage loans indexed to the
weekly  average of the one year U.S.  Treasury  bill.  Interest rates charged on
mortgage  loans are  competitively  priced  based on market  conditions  and the
Registrant's cost of funds.  Generally,  the Registrant's  standard underwriting
guidelines  for  mortgage  loans  conform  to the  Federal  Home  Loan  Mortgage
Corporation  ("FHLMC") guidelines and most of the Registrant's loans are salable
in the secondary  market. It is the current policy of the Registrant to remain a
portfolio  lender for its adjustable  rate loans.  Adjustable rate loans do have
higher  credit risks  compared to  fixed-rate  loans due to the  possibility  of
borrower  default when interest rates reset higher and monthly  payment  amounts
increase.

         The  Registrant's  one-to  four-family  residential loan portfolio also
includes second  mortgage loans and home equity loans.  Such loans are generally
secured by second liens on one-to  four-family  residential real estate. At June
30, 2000,  such loans totalled  $10,614,000 or 17%, of the  Registrant's  one-to
four- family residential loan portfolio.

         Non-Residential  Real Estate Loans.  Non-residential  real estate loans
consist of loans  primarily  consist of mixed  residential  and  commercial  use
property, professional office buildings, churches and restaurants. Loans secured
by  non-residential  property  may be  originated  in  amounts  up to 80% of the
appraised  value for a maximum  term of 20 years.  Non-residential  real  estate
loans have significantly more risk than one-to four-family mortgage loans due to
the  usually  higher  loan  amounts  and the  credit  risk,  which  arises  from
concentration  of principal in a smaller number of loans, the effects of general
economic   conditions  on  income  producing  property  and  the  difficulty  of
evaluating and monitoring the loans.

         Construction  Loans.  The  Registrant  originates   construction  loans
primarily  for the  construction  of  single  family  dwellings.  Loans  made to
builders are generally  "pure  construction"  loans which require the payment of
interest  at fixed  rates  during the  construction  term and the payment of the
principal in full at the end of the construction  period, which generally is for
a term of 12 months. At June 30, 2000,  construction  loans to builders totalled
$460,000.  Loans made to individual property owners are either pure construction
loans or "construction-permanent"  loans which generally provide for the payment
of interest only during a construction  period, after which the loans convert to
a permanent  loan at fixed or adjustable  interest rates having terms similar to
other one- to four-family  residential  loans. At June 30, 2000  construction on
loans to individuals totalled $2,782,000. Construction financing generally has a
higher degree of credit risk than one-to four-family residential loans. The risk
is dependent  largely on the value of the property when completed as compared to
the  estimated  cost,  including  interest,  of building  the  property.  If the
estimated value is inaccurate,  the Registrant may have a completed project with
a value too low to assure full repayment of the loan.

         Construction  loans made to builders  who are building to resell have a
maximum  loan-to-value  ratio of 80% of the  appraised  value  of the  property.
Construction  loans to  individuals  who intend to occupy the finished  premises
generally have a maximum loan-to-value ratio of 80%.

         Multi-Family.  Multi-family  loans are  primarily  secured by apartment
houses,  located in the  Registrant's  primary  market  area.  Loans  secured by
multi-family  property may be  originated  in amounts up to 75% of the appraised
value with either fixed or  adjustable  rates of interest.  Fixed rate  interest
loans have maturities  generally of up to 20 years,  with principal and interest
payments  calculated on a 20 year  amortization  period.  Adjustable  rate loans
typically  have a 15 to 30 year  amortization  period,with  repricing  following
every year,  three years,  or five years.  Multi-family  loans have credit risks
similar to non-residential real estate loans.

         Consumer Loans. Consumer loans primarily consist of direct and indirect
automobile loans. Direct automobile loans are generally originated with terms of
up to 6 years for new  automobiles  and up to 5 1/2 years for used  automobiles.
Indirect  automobile  loans are purchased from automobile  dealers with whom the
Registrant  provides  floor  plan  financing.   Indirect  automobile  loans  are
underwritten  by the Registrant  and a fee is remitted to the automobile  dealer
upon the successful  underwriting and closing of the loan. The fee is rebated to
the Registrant,  on a pro rata basis, if the loan is repaid within the first six
months.  The Registrant  generally does not have recourse against the automobile
dealer in the event of a default by the  borrower.  Each  indirect  auto loan is
originated  in  accordance  with the  Registrant's  underwriting  standards  and
procedures,  which are intended to assess the  applicant's  ability to repay the
amounts due on the loan and the adequacy of the financed  vehicle as collateral.
Direct and indirect  automobile loans are secured by the new or used automobile.
At June  30,  2000,  automobile  loans  totalled  $10,903,000  or,  66%,  of the
Registrant's consumer loan portfolio.  Of this amount, indirect automobile loans
totalled  $4,954,000.  Loans secured by assets that depreciate rapidly,  such as
automobiles,  are  generally  considered  to entail  greater  risks than  one-to
four-family residential loans.

         The  Registrant  also  makes a variety  of other  loans  that  totalled
$5,522,000,  or 34%, of total consumer loans at June 30, 2000.  Included in this
total are home  improvement  loans,  credit card loans,  loan secured by deposit
accounts (share loans) and educational loans.  Underwriting  standards for these
loans vary based on the loan type and the creditworthiness of the borrower.

         Commercial Business Loans.  Commercial business loans primarily consist
of commercial  lines of credit  (which  include  automobile  floor plan lines of
credit),  commercial  vehicle loans, and working capital loans and are typically
secured  by  residential  or  commercial  property,  receivables  or  inventory,
vehicles comprising the automobile floor plan, or some other form of collateral.
Floor plan financing involves continuing financing for an automobile dealer that
is secured by automobiles physically located on the dealer's lot. The Registrant
holds the title to the automobiles  during the pendency of the sale.  Floor plan
financing  typically  involves high loan origination volume and repayment within
90 days of  origination.  Credit risks  involved are similar to commercial  real
estate loans  (non-residential and multi-family loans) with loan repayment often
dependent upon the business generating sufficient cash flow. However, commercial
business loans carry even more credit risk than commercial real estate loans due
to the nature of the collateral underlying the loan.

         Loan  Approval   Authority  and   Underwriting.   The   Registrant  has
established  various  lending  limits  for its  officers  and  maintains  a loan
committee.  A report of all mortgage loans  originated is presented to the Board
of Directors  monthly.  The  President and Senior Vice  President  each have the
authority to approve  applications  for mortgage loans up to $100,000,  consumer
loans up to $40,000 for secured  loans and up to $10,000  for  unsecured  loans.
Eight other loan officers have authority to approve secured credit  applications
in varying amounts up to $35,000.

         The loan committee  reviews all applications for commercial loans up to
$250,000,  whether secured or unsecured, and all consumer loans in amounts above
the lending limit described  above.  All loans the loan which committee does not
review require the consideration and approval of the entire Board of Directors.

         Upon  receipt  of a  completed  loan  application  from  a  prospective
borrower,  a credit  report is  generally  ordered,  income  and  certain  other
information is verified and, if necessary,  additional financial  information is
requested.  An  appraisal  from a  licensed  fee  appraiser  of the real  estate
intended  to be used  as  security  for  the  proposed  loan  is  obtained.  For
construction/permanent  loans,  funds advanced during the construction phase are
held in a loan-in-process account and disbursed based upon various stages of

                                        6

completion in accordance  with the results of inspection  reports that are based
upon physical inspection of the construction by a loan officer.  For real estate
loans,  each title is reviewed by the attorney for the  Registrant  to determine
that  title is  clear.  Historically,  the  Registrant  has not  required  title
insurance except in those instances where the attorney has seen a need for title
insurance.  Borrowers  must  also  obtain  fire and  casualty  insurance.  Flood
insurance  is also  required  for loans on  property  that is located in a flood
zone.

         Loan  Commitments.  Written loan  commitments  are given to prospective
borrowers on all approved  mortgage loans which generally  expire within 30 days
of the date of issuance.  No commitment fees or points to secure commitments are
charged to prospective  borrowers.  However, a customer may lock in a fixed rate
for 30 days by  depositing  a  nonrefundable  fee with the  Registrant.  In some
instances, after a review of the rate, terms, and circumstances, commitments may
be renewed or extended beyond the 30-day limit. At June 30, 2000, the Registrant
had $283,000 of  outstanding  commitments  to originate  loans and $1,245,000 in
undisbursed funds related to construction loans.

Non-Performing and Problem Assets

         Loan Delinquencies. The Registrant's collection procedures provide that
when a  mortgage  loan is 30 days past due, a  delinquent  notice is sent to the
borrower and a late charge is imposed in accordance with the mortgage or Deed of
Trust agreement. If payment is still delinquent after 90 days, the borrower will
receive a notice of default establishing a date by which the borrower must bring
the account current or foreclosure proceedings will be instituted.  Late charges
are also imposed in accordance with the mortgage or Deed of Trust agreement.  If
the delinquency continues,  similar subsequent efforts are made to eliminate the
delinquency.  If the loan continues in a delinquent  status for 90 days past due
and no  repayment  plan is in effect,  the account is turned over to an attorney
for  foreclosure.  Management  meets  regularly  to determine  when  foreclosure
proceedings  should be initiated and the borrower is notified  when  foreclosure
has been commenced.

         Loans are  reviewed  on a monthly  basis and are placed on  non-accrual
status when considered  doubtful of collection by management.  Generally,  loans
past due 90 days or more as to  principal  or  interest  and,  in the opinion of
management,  are not  adequately  secured to insure the collection of the entire
outstanding  balance  of the loan  including  accrued  interest  are  placed  on
non-accrual status.  Interest accrued and unpaid at the time a loan is placed on
non-accrual status is charged against interest income.  Subsequent cash payments
are applied to interest  income.  Loans are returned to accrual  status when, in
management's  judgment, the borrower has the ability and intent to make periodic
principal  and  interest  payments  (this  generally  requires  that the loan be
brought current in accordance with its original terms).

         Non-Performing  Assets.  The  following  table sets  forth  information
regarding nonaccrual loans and real estate owned, as of the dates indicated. The
Registrant has no loans categorized as troubled debt  restructurings  within the
meaning of the Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards  ("SFAS") 15 and no
impaired loans within the meaning of SFAS 114, as amended by SFAS 118.  Interest
income that would have been  recorded  on loans  accounted  for on a  nonaccrual
basis under the original terms of such loans was not material for the year ended
June 30, 2000.

         Classified Assets. OTS regulations provide for a classification  system
for problem assets of insured  institutions.  Under this classification  system,
problem  assets  of  insured   institutions  are  classified  as  "substandard,"
"doubtful," or "loss." An asset is considered  substandard if it is inadequately
protected by the current net worth and paying  capacity of the obligor or of the
collateral  pledged,  if any.  Substandard assets include those characterized by
the "distinct possibility" that the insured institution will sustain "some loss"
if the deficiencies are not corrected. Assets classified as doubtful have all of
the  weaknesses  inherent in those  classified  as  substandard,  with the added
characteristic  that the weaknesses  present make  "collection or liquidation in
full," on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, "highly
questionable  and  improbable."  Assets  classified as loss are those considered
"uncollectible"  and of such  little  value  that  their  continuance  as assets
without the establishment of a specific loss reserve is not

                                        8

<PAGE>



warranted.  Assets may be  designated  "special  mention"  because of  potential
weakness  that  does  not  currently  warrant   classification  in  one  of  the
aforementioned categories.

         When  an  insured  institution  classifies  problem  assets  as  either
substandard or doubtful,  it may establish general allowances for loan losses in
an amount  deemed  prudent by  management.  General  allowances  represent  loss
allowances which have been established to recognize the inherent risk associated
with lending activities,  but which, unlike specific  allowances,  have not been
allocated to particular problem assets. When an insured  institution  classifies
problem assets as loss, it is required either to establish a specific  allowance
for losses equal to 100% of that portion of the asset so classified or to charge
off such amount. An institution's  determination as to the classification of its
assets and the amount of its  valuation  allowances  is subject to review by the
OTS, which may order the  establishment  of additional  general or specific loss
allowances.  A portion of general loss allowances  established to cover possible
losses  related to assets  classified as substandard or doubtful may be included
in determining an institution's  regulatory  capital,  while specific  valuation
allowances for loan losses generally do not qualify as regulatory capital.

         The following table sets forth the  Registrant's  classified  assets in
accordance with its classification system:

         Allowances  for Loan Losses.  A provision for loan losses is charged to
operations  based on management's  evaluation of the losses that may be incurred
in the Registrant's loan portfolio. Such evaluation,  which includes a review of
all loans of which full  collectibility  of interest  and  principal  may not be
reasonably assured, considers the Registrant's past loan loss experience,  known
and inherent  risks in the  portfolio,  adverse  situations  that may affect the
borrower's ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying  collateral,  any
existing guarantees,  past performance of the loan, available  documentation for
the loan, legal impediments to collection,  financial condition of the borrower,
and current economic conditions.

         Management  will  continue  to review  the  entire  loan  portfolio  to
determine the extent, if any, to which further additional loss provisions may be
deemed  necessary.  There can be no assurance that the allowance for losses will
be adequate to cover losses which may in fact be realized in the future and that
additional provisions for losses will not be required.

Analysis of the Allowance for Loan Losses

         The  following  table sets forth the  allocation  of the  allowance  by
category,  which  management  believes can be allocated  only on an  approximate
basis.  The  allocation  of the  allowance to each  category is not  necessarily
indicative  of future loss and does not  restrict  the use of the  allowance  to
absorb losses in any category.

Investment Activities

         The  Registrant  is required  under federal  regulations  to maintain a
minimum  amount of liquid  assets which may be invested in specified  short-term
securities  and certain  other  investments.  The level of liquid  assets varies
depending  upon  several  factors,  including:  (i)  the  yields  on  investment
alternatives,  (ii) management's judgment as to the attractiveness of the yields
then available in relation to other  opportunities,  (iii) expectation of future
yield levels, and (iv) management's  projections as to the short-term demand for
funds  to  be  used  in  loan  origination  and  other  activities.   Investment
securities,  including mortgage-backed securities, are classified at the time of
purchase,  based upon management's  intentions and abilities, as securities held
to maturity or securities  available for sale. Debt securities acquired with the
intent and ability to hold to maturity  are  classified  as held to maturity and
are stated at cost and adjusted  for  amortization  of premium and  accretion of
discount,  which are  computed  using the level yield method and  recognized  as
adjustments  of interest  income.  All other debt  securities  are classified as
available for sale to serve principally as a source of liquidity.

         Current  regulatory  and  accounting  guidelines  regarding  investment
securities  (including  mortgage  backed  securities)  require the Registrant to
categorize  securities as "held to maturity," "available for sale" or "trading."
As of June  30,  2000,  Registrant  had  securities  (including  mortgage-backed
securities)  classified  as "held to maturity" and  "available  for sale" in the
amount  of  $8,781,000  and  $9,791,000,  respectively  and  had  no  securities
classified as  "trading."  Securities  classified  as  "available  for sale" are
reported  for  financial  reporting  purposes at the fair market  value with net
changes  in the  market  value  from  period to period  included  as a  separate
component of  stockholders'  equity,  net of income taxes. At June 30, 2000, the
Registrant's  securities available for sale had an amortized cost of $10,247,000
and market

                                       11

<PAGE>

value of $9,791,000  (unrealized loss of $456,000).  Changes in the market value
of  securities  available  for  sale do not  affect  the  Company's  income.  In
addition,  changes in the market value of  securities  available for sale do not
affect the Bank's regulatory  capital  requirements or its loan-to-one  borrower
limit.

         At December 31, 1999,  the  Registrant's  investment  portfolio  policy
allowed investments in instruments such as: (i) U.S. Treasury obligations,  (ii)
U.S.  federal  agency or federally  sponsored  agency  obligations,  (iii) local
municipal   obligations,   (iv)   mortgage-backed   securities,   (v)   banker's
acceptances,  (vi) certificates of deposit, and (vii) investment grade corporate
bonds,  and commercial  paper.  The board of directors may authorize  additional
investments.

         As a  source  of  liquidity  and  to  supplement  Registrant's  lending
activities,   the  Registrant   has  invested  in  residential   mortgage-backed
securities.  Mortgage-backed  securities  can serve as collateral for borrowings
and, through repayments,  as a source of liquidity.  Mortgage-backed  securities
represent a participation  interest in a pool of  single-family or other type of
mortgages.  Principal  and  interest  payments  are  passed  from  the  mortgage
originators, through intermediaries (generally quasi-governmental agencies) that
pool and repackage the  participation  interests in the form of  securities,  to
investors,  like us. The  quasi-governmental  agencies  guarantee the payment of
principal  and interest to investors  and include the Federal Home Loan Mortgage
Corporation  ("FHLMC"),  Government National Mortgage Association ("GNMA"),  and
Federal National Mortgage Association ("FNMA").

         Mortgage-backed  securities  typically are issued with stated principal
amounts.  The  securities  are backed by pools of mortgages that have loans with
interest  rates that are  within a set range and have  varying  maturities.  The
underlying  pool of mortgages can be composed of either fixed rate or adjustable
rate mortgage  loans.  Mortgage-backed  securities are generally  referred to as
mortgage participation certificates or pass-through  certificates.  The interest
rate risk  characteristics of the underlying pool of mortgages (i.e., fixed rate
or adjustable  rate) and the prepayment  risk, are passed on to the  certificate
holder. The life of a mortgage-backed pass-through security is equal to the life
of the underlying  mortgages.  Expected  maturities will differ from contractual
maturities due to scheduled  repayments and because borrowers may have the right
to  call  or  prepay   obligations   with  or  without   prepayment   penalties.
Mortgage-backed securities issued by FHLMC, GNMA, and FNMA make up a majority of
the pass- through certificates market.

         At June 30, 2000, the Registrant's securities portfolio did not contain
securities  of any issuer,  other than those  issued by U.S.  government  or its
agencies,  with an  aggregate  book  value in excess of 10% of the  Registrant's
equity.

Sources of Funds

         General.  Deposits are the major  external  source of the  Registrant's
funds for lending and other investment  purposes.  The Registrant  derives funds
from  amortization  and  prepayment  of  loans  and,  to a much  lesser  extent,
maturities of investment securities, borrowings,  mortgage-backed securities and
operations.  Scheduled loan principal  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.

         Deposits.  Consumer and commercial  deposits are attracted  principally
from  within the  Registrant's  primary  market area  through the  offering of a
selection of deposit  instruments  including  regular  savings  accounts,  money
market  accounts,  and term  certificate  accounts.  Deposit  account terms vary
according to the minimum balance required, the time period the funds must remain
on deposit,  and the interest rate,  among other factors.  At June 30, 2000, the
Registrant had no brokered accounts.

         Time  Deposits.  The  following  table  indicates  the  amount  of  the
Registrant's  time deposits of $100,000 or more by time remaining until maturity
as of June 30, 2000.

                               Maturity Period             Time Deposits

Borrowings

         The  Registrant  may obtain  advances  from the FHLB of  Pittsburgh  to
supplement  its supply of lendable  funds.  Advances from the FHLB of Pittsburgh
are  typically  secured  by a pledge  of the  Registrant's  stock in the FHLB of
Pittsburgh  and a portion of the  Registrant's  first mortgage loans and certain
other assets.  Each FHLB credit program has its own interest rate,  which may be
fixed or variable, and range of maturities.  The Registrant, if the need arises,
may also access the Federal  Reserve  Bank  discount  window to  supplement  its
supply of lendable funds and to meet deposit  withdrawal  requirements.  At June
30, 2000,  borrowings with the FHLB totalled  $10,500,000,  of which  $2,500,000
were short-term.

Employees

         At June 30,  2000,  the  Registrant  had 53  full-time  and 4 part-time
employees.  None  of  the  Bank's  employees  are  represented  by a  collective
bargaining  group. The Bank believes that its relationship with its employees is
good.

Regulation

         Set forth below is a brief description of certain laws which related to
the regulation of the Company and the Bank. The description  does not purport to
be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to applicable laws and
regulations.

Recent Regulation

         The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (the "Act") became effective March 11, 2000,
which permits  qualifying  bank holding  companies to become  financial  holding
companies and thereby  affiliate with securities  firms and insurance  companies
and engage in other  activities  that are  financial in nature.  The Act defines
"financial  in nature" to include  securities  underwriting,  dealing and market
making; sponsoring mutual funds and investment companies; insurance underwriting
and agency;  merchant  banking  activities;  and  activities  that the Board has
determined to be closely related to banking. A qualifying national bank also may
engage,  subject to limitations on investment,  in activities that are financial
in nature,  other  than  insurance  underwriting,  insurance  company  portfolio
investment,  real  estate  development,  and real estate  investment,  through a
financial subsidiary of the bank.

         The Act also  prohibits  new  unitary  thrift  holding  companies  from
engaging in  nonfinancial  activities or from  affiliating  with an nonfinancial
entity.  As a  grandfathered  unitary thrift holding  company,  the Company will
retain its authority to engage in nonfinancial activities. However, the Act will
have  few  direct  effects  on the  operations  or  powers  of  federal  savings
associations or of savings and loan holding companies.

         The Act imposes  significant  new  financial  privacy  obligations  and
reporting requirements on all financial institutions,  including federal savings
associations.  Specifically,  the  statute,  among other  things,  will  require
financial  institutions  (a) to establish  privacy policies and disclose them to
customers both at the  commencement of a customer  relationship and on an annual
basis  and  (b) to  permit  customers  to opt out of a  financial  institution's
disclosure of financial  information to  nonaffiliated  third  parties.  The Act
requires the federal financial regulators to promulgate regulations implementing
these  provisions  within six months of  enactment,  and the  statute's  privacy
requirements will take effect one year after enactment.

Regulation of the Company

         General.  The  Company is a unitary  savings and loan  holding  company
subject to regulatory  oversight by the OTS. As such, the Company is required to
register  and  file  reports  with  the OTS and is  subject  to  regulation  and
examination by the OTS. In addition,  the OTS has enforcement authority over the
Company and its non-savings association  subsidiaries,  should such subsidiaries
be formed,  which also permits the OTS to restrict or prohibit  activities  that
are determined to be a serious risk to the subsidiary savings association.  This
regulation  and  oversight  is  intended  primarily  for the  protection  of the
depositors of the Bank and not for the benefit of stockholders of the Company.

         As a unitary savings and loan holding company, the Company generally is
not subject to activity restrictions,  provided the Bank satisfies the Qualified
Thrift Lender  ("QTL") test.  The Act  terminated  the "unitary  thrift  holding
company   exemption"  for  all  companies   that  applied  to  acquire   savings
associations  after May 4, 1999. Since the Company is  grandfathered  under this
provision of the Act, its unitary holding  company powers and  authorities  were
not affected.  However,  if the Company were to acquire control of an additional
savings  association,  its business  activities  would be subject to restriction
under the Home Owners' Loan Act. Furthermore,  if the Company were in the future
to sell control of the Bank to any other company, such company would not succeed
to the Company's  grandfathered status under the Act and would be subject to the
same business activity  restrictions.  See "- Regulation of the Bank - Qualified
Thrift Lender Test."

Regulation of the Bank

         General.  Set forth below is a brief  description  of certain laws that
relate to the  regulation of the Bank.  The  description  does not purport to be
complete and is qualified  in its entirety by reference to  applicable  laws and
regulations.  As a federally chartered,  SAIF-insured  savings association,  the
Bank is  subject  to  extensive  regulation  by the OTS  and the  FDIC.  Lending
activities and other  investments must comply with various federal statutory and
regulatory   requirements.   The  Bank  is  also  subject  to  certain   reserve
requirements promulgated by the Federal Reserve Board.

         The OTS, in conjunction with the FDIC,  regularly examines the Bank and
prepares  reports for the  consideration of the Bank's Board of Directors on any
deficiencies that are found in the Bank's  operations.  The Bank's  relationship
with its depositors and borrowers is also regulated to a great extent by federal
and state law,  especially in such matters as the ownership of savings  accounts
and the form and content of the Bank's mortgage documents.

         The Bank must file  reports  with the OTS and the FDIC  concerning  its
activities  and  financial  condition,   in  addition  to  obtaining  regulatory
approvals  prior to entering into certain  transactions  such as mergers with or
acquisitions  of other savings  institutions.  This  regulation and  supervision
establishes a comprehensive  framework of activities in which an institution can
engage and is intended  primarily for the protection of the SAIF 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.

         Insurance of Deposit  Accounts.  The deposit  accounts held by the Bank
are insured by the SAIF to a maximum of  $100,000  for each  insured  member (as
defined by law and  regulation).  Insurance of deposits may be terminated by the
FDIC  upon a finding  that the  institution  has  engaged  in unsafe or  unsound
practices,  is in an unsafe or unsound  condition to continue  operations or has
violated any applicable law, regulation, rule, order or condition imposed by the
FDIC or the institution's primary regulator.

         The Bank is required to pay insurance premiums based on a percentage of
its insured  deposits to the FDIC for insurance of its deposits by the SAIF. The
FDIC also  maintains  another  insurance  fund, the Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF"),
which primarily insures  commercial bank deposits.  The FDIC has set the deposit
insurance assessment rates for SAIF-member institutions for the first six months
of 2000 at 0% to .027% of insured  deposits  on an  annualized  basis,  with the
assessment rate for most savings institutions set at 0%.

         In  addition,  all  FDIC-insured   institutions  are  required  to  pay
assessments  to the FDIC at an annual  rate of  approximately  .0212% of insured
deposits to fund interest payments on bonds issued by the Financing  Corporation
("FICO"),  an agency of the Federal  government  established to recapitalize the
predecessor to the SAIF.  These  assessments  will continue until the FICO bonds
mature in 2017.

         Loans to One  Borrower.  A savings  association  may not make a loan or
extend  credit to a single or related group of borrowers in excess of 15% of the
associations's unimpaired capital and surplus. An additional amount may be lent,
equal to 10% of the unimpaired capital and surplus, under certain circumstances.
At June 30, 2000, the  Registrant's  lending limit for loans to one borrower was
approximately  $2,253,000 and had no outstanding  commitments  that exceeded the
loans to one borrower limit at the time originated or committed.

                                       17

         Regulatory  Capital  Requirements.   OTS  capital  regulations  require
savings institutions to meet three capital standards: (1) tangible capital equal
to 1.5% of total adjusted  assets,  (2) a leverage ratio (core capital) equal to
at least 3% of total adjusted assets, and (3) a risk-based  capital  requirement
equal to 8.0% of total risk-weighted assets.

         Dividend and Other Capital  Distribution  Limitations.  The OTS imposes
various  restrictions or requirements on the ability of savings  institutions to
make capital distributions, including cash dividends.

         A  savings  association  that is a  subsidiary  of a  savings  and loan
holding company,  such as the Bank must file an application or a notice with the
OTS at least 30 days before making a capital distribution.  Savings associations
are not  required  to file  an  application  for  permission  to make a  capital
distribution  and need only file a notice if the following  conditions  are met:
(1) they are eligible for expedited  treatment under OTS  regulations,  (2) they
would  remain  adequately  capitalized  after the  distribution,  (3) the annual
amount of capital  distribution does not exceed net income for that year to date
added to retained net income for the two  preceding  years,  and (4) the capital
distribution  would not violate any  agreements  between the OTS and the savings
association  or any OTS  regulations.  Any  other  situation  would  require  an
application to the OTS.

         The OTS may disapprove an application or notice if the proposed capital
distribution   would:  (i)  make  the  savings   association   undercapitalized,
significantly  undercapitalized,  or  critically  undercapitalized;  (ii)  raise
safety  or  soundness  concerns;  or (iii)  violate  a  statue,  regulation,  or
agreement  with  the OTS (or  with  the  FDIC),  or a  condition  imposed  in an
OTS-approved application or notice. Further, a federal savings association, like
the  Bank,  cannot  distribute   regulatory  capital  that  is  needed  for  its
liquidation account.

         Qualified Thrift Lender Test.  Federal savings  institutions  must meet
one of two Qualified Thrift Lender ("QTL") tests. To qualify as a QTL, a savings
institution must either (i) be deemed a "domestic building and loan association"
under the Internal  Revenue Code by maintaining at least 60% of its total assets
in specified types of assets,  including cash,  certain  government  securities,
loans  secured  by and  other  assets  related  to  residential  real  property,
educational loans and investments in premises of the institution or (ii) satisfy
the statutory QTL test set forth in the Home Owner's Loan Act by  maintaining at
least 65% of its "portfolio  assets" in  certain"Qualified  Thrift  Investments"
(defined  to include  residential  mortgages  and  related  equity  investments,
certain  mortgage-related  securities,  small business loans,  student loans and
credit card loans, and 50% of certain community development loans). For purposes
of the  statutory QTL test,  portfolio  assets are defined as total assets minus
intangible assets,  property used by the institution in conducting its business,
and liquid  assets  equal to 10% of total  assets.  A savings  institution  must
maintain its status as a QTL on a monthly basis in at least nine out of every 12
months.  A  failure  to  qualify  as a QTL  results  in a number  of  sanctions,
including the imposition of certain operating  restrictions and a restriction on
obtaining  additional  advances from its FHLB. At June 30, 2000, the Bank was in
compliance with its QTL requirement.

         Federal  Home  Loan  Bank  System.  The Bank is a member of the FHLB of
Pittsburgh,  which  is  one of 12  regional  FHLBs  that  administers  the  home
financing credit function of savings associations. Each FHLB serves as a reserve
or  central  bank for its  members  within  its  assigned  region.  It is funded
primarily from proceeds derived from the sale of consolidated obligations of the
FHLB  System.  It makes loans to members  (i.e.,  advances) in  accordance  with
policies and procedures established by the Board of Directors of the FHLB.

                                       18
<PAGE>

         As a member, the Bank is required to purchase and maintain stock in the
FHLB of  Pittsburgh  in an amount equal to at least 1% of its  aggregate  unpaid
residential  mortgage loans, home purchase  contracts or similar  obligations at
the beginning of each year.

         Liquidity  Requirements.  All  savings  associations  are  required  to
maintain an average daily balance of liquid assets equal to a certain percentage
of the sum of its average daily balance of net withdrawable deposit accounts and
borrowings payable in one year or less. The liquidity  requirement may vary from
time to time (between 4% and 10%) depending upon economic conditions and savings
flows of all savings associations.

         Federal  Reserve  System.   The  Federal  Reserve  Board  requires  all
depository  institutions to maintain  non-interest bearing reserves at specified
levels against their transaction  accounts (primarily  checking,  NOW, and Super
NOW checking accounts) and non-personal time deposits.  The balances  maintained
to meet the reserve  requirements  imposed by the Federal  Reserve  Board may be
used to satisfy the liquidity  requirements that are imposed by the OTS. At June
30,  2000,  the  Bank  was  in  compliance  with  these  Federal  Reserve  Board
requirements.
