GSB Financial Corporation

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

1.   Basis of Presentation

GSB Financial Corporation ("GSB Financial") was incorporated under Delaware law
in March 1997 as a holding company to purchase 100% of the common stock of
Goshen Savings Bank (the "Bank"). On July 9, 1997, GSB Financial completed its
initial public offering of 2,248,250 shares of common stock in connection with
the conversion of the Bank from a mutual form institution to a stock savings
bank (the "Conversion"). Concurrently with the Conversion, GSB Financial
acquired all of the Bank's common stock.

The consolidated financial statements included herein at or for periods ended
June 30, 1999 and 1998, have been prepared by the Company without audit. In the
opinion of management, the quarterly unaudited financial statements include all
adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair
presentation of the consolidated financial position and results of operations
for the periods presented. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally
included in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been
condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission. The Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to
make the information presented not misleading, however, the results for the
periods presented are not indicative of the results to be expected for the
entire year.

The unaudited quarterly financial statement presented herein should be read in
conjunction with the annual audited consolidated financial statements of the
Company for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1998. Significant intercompany
transactions and amounts have been eliminated.

2.   Earnings Per Share

On July 9, 1997, GSB Financial Corporation completed its initial stock offering
of 2,248,250 shares of common stock. Concurrent with the offering, approximately
8% of the shares sold (179,860) were purchased by the GSB Financial Corporation
Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP") using the proceeds of a loan from the
Company to the ESOP. Through June 30, 1999, 31,475 shares have been committed to
be released from the lien of the ESOP loan and under AICPA Statement of Position
93-6; these shares are considered outstanding for purposes of calculating per
share amounts. Basic earnings per share excludes dilution and is computed by
dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number
of common shares outstanding for the period. Unvested restricted stock is
considered outstanding and included in the computation of basic earnings per
share as of the date shares are fully vested. Diluted earnings per share
reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other
contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or
resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the
entity, such as the Company's restricted stock and stock options.

The calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) calculations for
the periods indicated, are included in exhibit 11 of this report.

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

General

GSB Financial Corporation (the "Company") was formed in March 1997 to acquire
the common stock of Goshen Savings Bank (the "Bank") upon its conversion from a
mutual savings bank to a stock savings bank. On July 9, 1997, the Company
completed its initial public offering, issuing 2,248,250 shares of $0.01 par
value common stock at $10.00 per share. Net proceeds to the Company were $21.4
million after conversion costs, and $19.6 million excluding the shares acquired
by the Company's Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the "ESOP"), which were
purchased with the proceeds of a loan from the Company. All references to the
Company prior to July 9, 1997, except where otherwise indicated, are to the
Bank.

The Company's last fiscal year ended September 30, 1998. The Company has changed
its fiscal year to a calendar year in order to improve efficiency and reduce
duplication of effort. Therefore, the Company will file quarterly reports for
the quarters ended March 31, June 30, and September 30, 1999 and will end its
current fiscal year on December 31, 1999.

The Company's strategy is to continue to be a community oriented financial
institution offering core financial services to individuals and businesses in
strategic locations within the Hudson Valley. The Company attracts deposits from
its local communities and invests those deposits principally in one-to-four
family residential mortgage loans and business loans. Management seeks to
maintain a high quality loan portfolio with low levels of delinquencies and
non-performing assets by concentrating on residential mortgage loans and
business loans in its local community. Management also considers other loan
types consistent with its mission to serve the local consumer and business
community.

The Bank is a federal savings bank with deposits insured by the Bank Insurance
Fund ("BIF") of the FDIC. The Bank's primary federal banking regulator is the
Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS").

 The financial condition and results of operations of the Company are primarily
dependent upon the operations of the Bank, and the earnings from securities
investments made by the Company with the portion of the net proceeds of its
stock offering retained by it. The Company's results of operations are dependent
principally on its net interest income, representing the difference between the
income earned on its loan and securities portfolios and its cost of funds,
represented principally by interest paid on its deposit accounts. Results of
operations are also affected by the Company's provision for loan losses. In
addition to net interest income, other sources of income for the Company include
deposit account fees, loan and loan servicing fees, gains on the sale of
securities, capital gain distributions on mutual fund investments, and fees for
banking services such as safe deposit boxes. The largest category of
non-interest expense is compensation and benefits expense. Other principal
categories of non-interest expense include occupancy expense, data processing
costs, advertising and marketing expenses, and insurance costs. Results of
operations are also significantly affected by general economic and competitive
conditions, particularly changes in market interest rates, government policies
and actions of regulatory authorities.

 The Company's strategy is to continue to operate the Bank as a community-based
financial institution while exploring appropriate opportunities to leverage the
additional capital obtained in the Conversion. The Company is seeking to improve
its customer service delivery capability, enabling it to provide better services
to existing customers and seek to expand its customer base.

Comparison of Financial Condition at June 30, 1999 and September 30, 1998

The Company's total assets were $163.2 million at June 30, 1999 as compared to
$131.9 million at September 30, 1998, representing 23.7% growth in assets.
Loans, net increased $27.4 million, or 34.9%, from $78.7 million to $106.2
million. Residential loans increased by $19.5 due to aggressive loan origination
efforts at a time of steady residential mortgage loan demand. The Company also
increased its commercial mortgage and business loans by $7.9 million. Investment
securities available for sale increased by $13.4 million, while mortgage-backed
securities and federal funds decreased by $4.7 million each, since September 30,
1998. The increase in investment securities was principally due to the purchase
of securities with borrowings to increase leverage. The decrease in
mortgage-backed securities was mainly due to the acceleration of principal
payments due to the low interest rate environment. Deposits increased by $12.4
million or 14.0% to $100.7 million at June 30, 1999 as compared to $88.3 million
at September 30, 1998. The increase includes $3.1 million of deposits in the new
branch opened in September 1998, in Harriman, New York. The growth in core
deposits (representing deposits other than certificates of deposit) during the
period was $9.3 million or 75.0% of the period gain, which is attributed to the
Company's emphasis on attracting core deposit relationships through its
advertising.

Total equity decreased to $29.9 million at June 30, 1999, from $31.5 million at
September 30, 1998. The $1.6 million decrease resulted principally from the
repurchase of $1.8 million of the Company's stock. The Company repurchased
112,412 shares of its stock from October 1, 1998 through June 30, 1999. The
Company's third stock repurchase was announced May 28, 1999, with 56,000 shares
purchased as of June 30, 1999, after which the Company had the right to
repurchase an additional 50,792 shares of its common stock.

Comparison of Operating Results.

Interest Income was $2.6 million for the second quarter of fiscal 1999 as
compared to $2.1 million for the same period in 1998, an increase of $480,000 or
23.0%. For the six months ended June 30, 1999, interest income amounted to $4.9
million as compared to $4.0 million for the same period in 1998. The increase in
the quarterly interest income was primarily volume related due to a $28.9
million or 24.4%, increase in average earning assets, partially offset by an 8
basis point decrease in the average yield on earnings assets. The increase in
the six months interest income was primarily volume related due to a $26.9
million or 23.5%, increase in average earning assets, partially offset by an 14
basis point decrease in the average yield on earnings assets.

The primary cause for the increase in average earning assets were $25.9 million
and $22.6 million increases in the average balance of loans for the three and
six month periods, as a result of efforts by the Company to leverage its capital
through increased loan origination's. The volume increases were partially offset
by a 46 basis point decline for the quarter and a 49 basis point decline for the
six month period in the average yield earned on loans. The decline in the
average yield earned on loans was due to the declining interest rate environment
in late 1998 and early 1999. The two factors combined to produce an estimated
$385,000 and $640,000 increase in interest earned on loans for the respective
periods. Interest income on investment securities increased by $307,000 and
$511,000 for the quarter and the six months, due to increases in the average
balances of $17.8 million and $14.6 million for the respective periods, as the
Company borrowed funds and invested those funds in investment securities to
leverage its balance sheet. The average yield earned on investment securities
increased by 32 and 42 basis points for the respective periods, caused by the

                                       9
<PAGE>


purchase of callable government agency bonds which tend to have a higher market
interest rate than U.S. Treasury securities. Interest earned on mortgage-backed
securities decreased by $77,000 and $161,000 due to a $4.9 million and $5.1
million decrease in the average balance of mortgage-backed securities due to
accelerated principal payments, and the sale of small balance mortgage-backed
securities in the latter part of 1998 to improve efficiency. Interest earned on
federal funds decreased by $135,000 and $144,000 for the quarter and six months
ended June 30, 1999, compared to the same period in 1998, due to decreases in
the average balances of $10.0 million and $5.1 million. The reason for the
decrease in average balances was that loan growth exceeded the growth in
deposits.

Interest Expense was $1.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 1999 as
compared to $893,000 for the same quarter in 1998. For the six months ended June
30, 1999, interest expense totaled $2.2 million compared to $1.7 million for the
same period last year. Interest on borrowings which were principally undertaken
to improve leverage increased $205,000 for the quarters, and $365,000 for the
six month periods. Interest paid on deposits increased $80,000 from the 1998 to
the 1999 quarters because average interest bearing deposits increased by $13.0
million, offset by a decrease of 23 basis points from 4.07% to 3.84% in the
average rate paid on deposits. Interest paid on deposits increased $180,000 for
the six months ended June 30, 1999 compared to June 30, 1998, because average
interest bearing deposits increased $13.3 million, partially offset by a
decrease of 20 basis points from 4.04% to 3.84% in the average rate paid on
deposits. The Company has emphasized lower cost deposit products in order to
improve leverage while reducing upward pressures on its cost of funds.

Provision for Loan Losses was $20,000 for the quarter of June 30, 1999 compared
to $10,000 in the comparable quarter in 1998. The provision for the six months
ended June 30, 1999 was $35,000 compared to $20,000 for the comparable period in
1998. The Company increased its provision for loan losses due to increases in
the loan portfolio and efforts to develop a commercial lending portfolio. There
were no non-performing loans at June 30, 1999. At June 30, 1999, the allowance
for loan losses was $250,000 representing 0.24% of period end loans. Net
charge-offs during the quarter and the six months were zero. After June 30,
1999, the Company was advised that one of its commercial loan borrowers filed a
Chapter 11 bankruptcy petition. The loan, in the principal amount of $50,000, is
guaranteed by the principals of the borrower. The loan was current on June 30.

Non-interest income was $77,000 for the second quarter of fiscal 1999 as
compared to $57,000 for the same quarter in fiscal 1998. For the six months
ended June 30, 1999, non-interest income amounted to $149,000 as compared to
$115,000 for the same period in 1998. The increases in both periods are mainly
due to service fee income from new transaction accounts and ATM fees for
non-customers.

Non-interest expense was $875,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 1999, compared
to $945,000 for the comparable quarter in 1998. Non-interest expense for the six
month ended June 30, 1999 was $1.7 million compared to $1.8 million for the
comparable period in 1998. The Company worked to control costs without
sacrificing growth and diversification, thus improving its efficiency ratio. The
primary cost reduction was a $111,000 and a $201,000 reduction in salary and
benefits expense for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1999 compared to
the same periods in 1998, due to the Voluntary Early Employment Termination
Program, in which 11 employees participated at December 31, 1998. The program
allowed the Company not to increase


                                       10
<PAGE>


its full time equivalent employees, while it opened a new branch in September
1998 and began to offer commercial loans. Increases in the other expense items
are attributed to the new branch and commercial lending and other increased
costs necessarily flowing from growth. The Company improved its efficiency ratio
from 73.1% for the six months ended June 30, 1998 to 62.4% for the six months
ended June 30, 1999.

Income tax expense was $228,000 and $412,000 for the second quarter and six
months ended June 30, 1999, as compared to $121,000 and $265,000 for the
comparable periods for 1998. The increases were principally caused by increases
in income before taxes.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company's primary sources of funds are deposits, borrowings, proceeds from
the principal and interest payments on loans, mortgage-backed and debt
securities and capital gain distributions on its mutual fund investment. While
maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities are predictable
sources of funds, deposit outflows, mortgage prepayments and mortgage loan and
securities sales are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic
conditions and competition.

The Bank closely monitors its liquidity position on a regular basis. Excess
short-term liquidity is invested in overnight federal funds sold. If the Bank
requires funds beyond its ability to generate them internally, additional funds
are available through borrowings. At June 30, 1999, the Bank had available lines
of credit with the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York of $12.4 million, with $6
million outstanding as of June 30, 1999. The Bank also had Federal Home Loan
Bank borrowings of $24 million at June 30, 1999, which were not against the line
of credit. The Bank undertook these borrowings as one method of leveraging the
additional capital obtained in its conversion to stock form. The Bank may, from
time to time, use borrowings to satisfy funding needs rather than increase the
rates paid on new deposits, because the latter could have a greater adverse
effect on the overall cost of funds.

Residential mortgage loan commitments and commercial loan commitments totaled
$4.8 million, and $615,000 at June 30, 1999, respectively, and the Bank had $1.6
million of unused home equity lines of credit and $1.7 million and $294,000 of
unused commercial line of credit and consumer overdraft checking lines of
credit, respectively. Management anticipates that the Bank will have sufficient
funds available to meet its current loan commitments. Certificates of deposit,
which are scheduled to mature in one year or less from June 30, 1999, totaled
$38.8 million. Management anticipates that the Bank will be able to retain
substantially all of such deposits if the Bank decides to do so to fund loans
and other investments. . At June 30, 1999, the Bank exceeded all regulatory
capital requirements of the OTS applicable to it, with tangible and core capital
of $23.3 million, or 14.7% of adjusted assets and total risk-based capital of
$23.5 million, or 29.7% of risk-weighted assets. The Bank was classified as
"well capitalized" at June 30, 1999 under OTS regulations.

The Bank is subject to the minimum liquidity regulations of the OTS. At June 30,
1999, OTS regulations required that the Bank maintain liquid assets equal to at
least 4% of its net withdrawable accounts plus short term borrowings, measured
on a monthly basis. The Bank has satisfied this requirement throughout the
period during which it has been a federal savings bank, and at June 30, 1999 had
liquid assets equal to 8.6% of net withdrawable accounts plus short term
borrowings.

Forward-Looking Statements

When used in this report on form 10-Q, in future filings by the Company with the
Securities and Exchange Commission, in the Company's press releases or other
public or stockholder communications, or in oral statements made with the
approval of an authorized officer, words and phrases such as " will likely
result" "are expected to," "will continue," "are estimated," "are anticipated"
and other similar expressions, are intended to identify "forward-looking
statements" under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act. In particular,
certain information customarily disclosed by financial institutions, such as
estimates of interest rate sensitivity and the adequacy of the loan loss
allowance, are inherently forward-looking statements because, by their nature,
they represent attempts to estimate what will occur in the future.

A wide variety of factors could cause the Company's actual results and
experiences to differ materially from the anticipated results or other
expectations expressed in the Company's forward-looking statements. Some of the
risks and uncertainties that may affect operations, performance, results of the
Company's business, the interest rate sensitivity of its assets and liabilities,
and the adequacy of its loan loss allowance, include but are not limited to: (i)
deterioration in local, regional, national or global economic conditions which
could result, among other things, in an increase in loan delinquencies, a
decrease in property values, or a change in the housing turnover rate; (ii)
changes in market interest rates or changes in the speed at which market
interest rates change; (iii) changes in laws and regulations affecting the
financial services industry; (iv) changes in competition; and (v) changes in
consumer preferences.

Furthermore, changes in the economic circumstances of individual borrowers could
have a material adverse effect on their ability to repay their loans regardless
of general economic conditions. Likewise, financial adversity experienced by any
one major business in the Company's market area could have a significant adverse
effect on those of the Company's customers who are employees of that business or
otherwise rely upon it for their economic well being. This could affect their
ability to honor their loan obligations and their ability to maintain deposit
balances.

For these reasons, the Company cautions readers not to place undue reliance upon
any forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the
date made and the Company assumes no obligation to update or revise any such
statements upon any change in applicable circumstances.

Year 2000 Compliance

In the Company's annual report on Form 10-K, we provided information regarding
our activities to protect against the adverse effects of the Year 2000 computer
problem. Since our last 10-Q filing, we have completed the process of reviewing,
testing and upgrading our systems to make them Year 2000 compliant. Our primary
data processing provider, NCR Corporation, reports that it is qualified and has
satisfactorily completed its own internal software and hardware testing and
upgrading and has verifying that all of its vendors are likewise compliant. Our
internal and external ATM software from our new ATM service provider is fully
tested and Y2K compliant. However, the Company remains reliant upon the ability
of major utilities, such as electric and telephone companies, to continue to
provide service. Although plans have been made to continue to operate in the
event of a failure of core utility service delivery systems, any such plans are
necessarily temporary and if such services as telephone or electric service are
not delivered for an extended period, operations would be adversely affected.

The Bank has taken steps prior to the end of the calendar year to maintain
sufficient liquidity so that additional customer demands for cash can be met.
However, any substantial unusual withdrawal activity caused by customer panic
could have a short-term adverse income statement effect because the cost of
alternative sources of funds, such as borrowings, is normally higher than the
cost of deposits.

This is a Year 2000 Readiness Disclosure under the Year 2000 Information and
Readiness Disclosure Act.

stock method using average market price. The treasury stock method recognizes
the use of assumed proceeds upon the exercise of option, and the amount of
unearned compensation attributed to future services under the Company's
restricted stock plan, including any tax benefits, will be used to purchase the
Company's common stock at the average market price during the period.
