NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE
THREE-MONTH PERIODS ENDED MARCH 31, 1999 AND 1998 (UNAUDITED)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The accompanying  consolidated  financial  statements have been prepared in
     accordance  with  instructions  to Form  10-QSB.  Accordingly,  they do not
     include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted
     accounting  principles for complete  financial  statements.  However,  such
     information reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring
     adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management,  necessary for a fair
     presentation of results for the unaudited interim periods.

     The results of  operations  for the three month period ended March 31, 1999
     are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal
     year  ending  December  31,  1999.  The  unaudited  consolidated  financial
     statements  presented herein should be read in conjunction with the audited
     consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in the
     Company's Form 10-KSB dated March 31, 1999.

     On November  18,  1998,  the Company  agreed to be acquired by Crown Group,
     Inc.,  in a cash  transaction  valued  at  approximately  $17,900,000.  The
     Agreement  and Plan of  Reorganization,  executed  by the Company and Crown
     Group,  Inc.,  provides  for the  exchange  of each share of the  Company's
     common stock for $15.50 in cash. The acquisition is contingent upon receipt
     of approvals from regulatory  authorities  and the Company's  shareholders.
     The  special  meeting for  shareholders  to  consider  the  approval of the
     agreement has been scheduled for June 8, 1999 at 1:30 p.m.

     Certain items in the 1998 financial  statements  have been  reclassified to
     conform with the presentation in the 1999 financial statements.

     March  31,  1999 and  December  31,  1998,  nonaccrual  loans  amounted  to
     approximately  $188,000 and $94,000,  respectively.  Interest reserved from
     these loans  amounted  to $8,585 and $3,880 at March 31, 1999 and  December

5.   COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

     The Company adopted  Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 130,
     Reporting  Comprehensive  Income,  effective January 1, 1998. The statement
     requires disclosure of amounts from transactions and other events which are
     currently  excluded  from the  statement  of  operations  and are  recorded
     directly to stockholders'  equity. Total comprehensive income for the three
     month  periods ended March 31, 1999 and 1998 amounted to income of $121,663
     and $40,955, respectively.

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

Financial Condition

     Total assets  decreased  $2.3 million or 2.3% to $96.5 million at March 31,
1999 compared to $98.8 million at December 31, 1998. Such decrease was primarily
due to a decrease in cash and cash  equivalents.  Cash and cash equivalents were
used to fund deposit outflows.  Total liabilities decreased $2.4 million or 2.9%
to $80.1  million  at March 31,  1999.  Such  decrease  was  primarily  due to a
decrease in both  deposits and advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB")
of Pittsburgh.  Stockholders' equity amounted to $16.4 million at March 31, 1999
and $16.3 million at December 31, 1998.

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 1999 and 1998.

     General.  Net income  amounted to $126,000 and $38,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 1999 and 1998,  respectively.  The increase of $88,000 or 230.0%
was primarily due to a decrease in interest expense and other expenses partially
offset by a decrease in interest income.

     Net Interest  Income.  Net interest  income is  determined by the Company's
interest  rate spread  (i.e.,  the  difference  between the yields earned on its
interest-earning assets and the rates paid on its interest-bearing  liabilities)
and  the  relative  amounts  of  interest-earning  assets  and  interest-bearing
liabilities.  Net interest income increased $80,000 or 11.9% to $749,000 for the
three  months  ended March 31, 1999  compared to $670,000 for the same period in
1998.  The  increase  in net  interest  income was due to a decrease in interest
expense of $345,000. This decrease was due to lower average balances of deposits
and FHLB advances.

     Interest  Income.  Interest  income  decreased  $265,000  or  13.3% to $1.7
million for the three months ended March 31, 1999 compared to the same period in
1998.  The  decrease  in  interest  income was  primarily  due to a decrease  in
interest  income on loans,  due to a  decrease  in the  average  balance of such
assets.  The average  balance of loans  receivable  decreased  due to fewer loan
originations and an increase in loan prepayments.

     Interest Expense.  Interest expense decreased $345,000 or 26.1% to $974,000
for the three  months  ended  March 31, 1999  compared  to $1.3  million for the
comparable  period in 1998.  Such  decrease was  primarily  due to a decrease in
interest  expense on deposits and advances from the FHLB,  which was caused by a
decrease in the average balance of such liabilities.

     Provision  for Loan Losses.  The  allowance for loan losses is increased by
charges to income and decreased by charge-offs (net of recoveries). Management's
periodic evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance is based on the 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 any underlying collateral, and current economic conditions.

                                       8

<PAGE>

     The  provision  for loan losses  amounted  to $15,000 for the three  months
ended March 31, 1999 and 1998.

     Other Income. Other income decreased $1,000 or .1% to $38,000 for the three
months  ended  March  31,  1999  compared  to the same  period  in 1998 due to a
decrease in the gain on sale of loans,  partially offset by increases in service
fees.  During the three month period ended March 31, 1999, the Bank did not sell
loans to third parties.

     Other Expenses.  Other expenses  decreased $72,000 or 11.4% to $556,000 for
the three months ended March 31, 1999 compared to the same period in 1998.  Such
decrease was primarily due to decreases in advertising and directors'  fees. The
decrease in  advertising  was  primarily  due to the lack of  expenses  incurred
during the first quarter of 1999,  compared to the same quarter for 1998. During
the first quarter of 1998,  the Bank incurred  additional  advertising  expenses
relating to the announcement of its name change.  No such expenses were incurred
in the first quarter of 1999.  The decrease in  directors'  fees was due to both
the reduction in the number of the Company's  directors  being paid and to fewer
meetings during 1999.

     Income  Taxes.  The  provision  for income  taxes  amounted  to $91,000 and
$28,000  for the  three  months  ended  March 31,  1999 and 1998,  respectively,
resulting in effective tax rates of 42.0% and 42.1%, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The  Bank's  liquidity,  represented  by cash  and cash  equivalents,  is a
product of its operating, investing and financing activities. The Bank's primary
sources  of  funds  are  deposits,  borrowings,  amortization,  prepayments  and
maturities  of  outstanding  loans,  sales of loans,  maturities  of  investment
securities and other short-term  investments and funds provided from operations.
Although  scheduled loan  amortization  and maturing  investment  securities and
short-term  investments  are relatively  predictable  sources of funds,  deposit
flows and loan  prepayments  are greatly  influenced by general  interest rates,
economic conditions and competition.  The Bank invests excess funds in overnight
deposits and other short-term interest-earning assets which provide liquidity to
meet lending requirements. As an additional source of funds, the Bank may borrow
from the FHLB of  Pittsburgh  and has  access to the  Federal  Reserve  discount
window.  At March 31, 1999 the Bank had $13.2  million of  outstanding  advances
from the FHLB of Pittsburgh.

     As of March 31, 1999,  the Bank's  regulatory  capital was in excess of all
applicable regulatory requirements. At March 31, 1999, the Bank's tangible, core
and risk-based capital ratios amounted to 14.3%, 14.3% and 25.2%,  respectively,
compared to regulatory requirements of 1.5%, 3.0% and 8.0%, respectively.

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices

     The financial  statements and related  financial data presented herein have
been prepared in accordance with instructions to Form 10-QSB,  which require the
measurement of financial  position and operating  results in terms of historical
dollars,  without considering changes in relative purchasing power over time due
to inflation.

     Unlike most  industrial  companies,  virtually all of the Bank's assets and
liabilities are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates generally have a
more significant impact on a financial  institution's  performance than does the
effect of inflation.

The Year 2000 Issue

     The Company is aware of the issues  associated with the programming code in
existing  computer systems as the Year 2000  approaches.  The Year 2000 Issue is
the result of computer  programs being written using two digits rather than four
digits to define the applicable year. Computer programs that have time-sensitive
coding may  recognize  a date using "00" as the year 1900  rather  than the year
2000.  Systems that do not properly  recognize such  information  could generate
erroneous data or cause a system to fail.

     The Bank has  conducted a review of its  computer  systems to identify  the
systems  that  could be  affected  by the Year 2000 issue and has  developed  an
implementation  plan to  resolve  the issue.  The  majority  of the Bank's  data
processing is provided by a third party service  bureau.  The service  bureau is
actively  involved in resolving  Year 2000 issues and has provided the Bank with
frequent updates regarding their progress. The Bank tested their system for Year
2000  compliance  during the third  quarter of 1998 with no material  exceptions
noted.  The Bank presently  believes  that,  based on the progress of the Bank's
service  bureau,  the Year 2000  problem will not pose  significant  operational
problems  for the Bank's  computer  system.  Since the  critical  portion of the
Company's  Year 2000 issue  involves its third party service  bureau,  and since
testing  of that  system  has been  completed  with no  significant  exceptions,
additional costs are anticipated to be immaterial at this time.
