                                  THE OFFERING

Securities Offered

         The securities  offered hereby are participation  interests in the Plan
and up to 10,645 shares (assuming the actual purchase price is $10 per share) of
Common  Stock which may be acquired  by the Plan for the  accounts of  employees
participating  in the Plan. The Company is the issuer of the Common Stock.  Only
employees of the Bank who meet the eligibility  requirements  under the Plan may
participate  in the Plan.  Information  with regard to the Plan is  contained in
this Prospectus Supplement and information with regard to the Conversion and the
financial condition, results of operation, and business of the Bank is contained
in the attached Prospectus. The address of the principal executive office of the
Bank is 789 Farnsworth Avenue,  Bordentown,  New Jersey  08505-2101.  The Bank's
telephone number is (609) 298-0723.

Election to Purchase Common Stock in Connection with the Conversion

         In connection with the Bank's Conversion,  the Plan has been amended to
permit each  Participant to direct that all or part of the funds which represent
his or her beneficial interest in the assets of the Plan may be transferred to a
new investment  fund ("the Employer Stock Fund") and which will used to purchase
Common Stock issued in connection with the Conversion. Participants will also be
permitted to direct  ongoing  purchases of Common Stock under the Plan after the
Conversion.  See  "Direction  to Purchase  Common Stock After  Conversion."  The
Plan's Trustee will follow the Participants' investment directions.  Amounts not
transferred  to the  Employer  Stock  Fund  will  remain  invested  in the other
investment  funds of the Plan as directed by the Participant (see "Investment of
Plan Assets" herein).

Value of Participation Interests

         The  assets  of the Plan  were  valued  as of June 30,  1998,  and each
Participant  was informed of the value of his or her beneficial  interest in the
Plan.  This  value  represented  the  market  value as of June 30,  1998 of past
contributions  to the  Plan by the  Bank and by the  Participants  and  earnings
thereon, less previous  withdrawals,  if any. Participants may direct up to 100%
of the value of their  account  assets to invest  in the  Employer  Stock  Fund.
However,  in connection with the initial offering of Common Stock,  Participants
who  elect to  purchase  Common  Stock in  connection  with the  Conversion  are
required  to invest a minimum  amount of their  Account  assets in the  Employer
Stock Fund (see "Minimum Investment" herein).

Method of Directing Investments

         Appendix A of this  Prospectus  Supplement  includes a form to direct a
transfer to the Employer Stock Fund (the "Investment  Form") of all or a portion
of a  Participant's  account  ("Account")  under  the Plan.  Appendix  B of this
Prospectus  Supplement  includes  Pentegra's  Form  7 --  Change  of  Investment
Allocation ("Form 7"). If a Participant wishes to transfer all or part of his or
her  beneficial  interest  in the assets of the Plan to the  purchase  of Common
Stock issued in connection with the  Conversion,  he or she should indicate that
investment  decision on the Investment  Form and Form 7. The Investment Form and
Form 7 must be properly  signed by the  Participant in order for such Investment
Form to be honored by the Plan Trustee. Additionally, a Participant may indicate
the directed investment of future contributions under the Plan for investment in
the Employer Stock Fund. If a Participant does not wish

                                        1

<PAGE>



to make an  investment  election to purchase  Common Stock under the Plan in the
Conversion, or thereafter, he or she does not need to take any action.

Time for Directing Investment

         The deadline for submitting  the  Investment  Form and Form 7 directing
the transfer of amounts to the Employer  Stock Fund in order to purchase  Common
Stock issued in connection  with the  Conversion is  ___________  ___, 1998. The
Investment Form and Form 7, which are both required to be completed correctly by
a  Participant  at the time such forms are  submitted,  must be  returned to the
Bank's Personnel Department by 12:00 p.m. (local time) on ___________ ___, 1998.

         Subsequent to the Conversion,  Participants will continue to be able to
direct the  investment of their  Accounts  under the Plan in the Employer  Stock
Fund and in the other investment alternatives, as detailed below.

Irrevocability of Investment Direction

         A  Participant's   direction  to  transfer  amounts  credited  to  such
Participant's  Account  in the  Plan to the  Employer  Stock  Fund in  order  to
purchase  shares of Common  Stock in  connection  with the  Conversion  shall be
irrevocable  as of noon on  ___________  ___,  1998. If a  Participant  fails to
submit a completed  Investment  Form and Form 7 on or before noon on  __________
___, 1998, such  Participant will not be allowed to direct his or her Account to
purchase  Common  Stock  in the  Company's  initial  public  offering.  However,
Participants  will be able to direct  their  Accounts to purchase  Common  Stock
after the  Conversion by directing  amounts in their  Accounts into the Employer
Stock Fund.

Direction to Purchase Common Stock After the Conversion

         Following  completion  of  the  Conversion,   a  Participant  shall  be
permitted to direct that a certain percentage of such Participant's interests in
the Trust Fund be  transferred to the Employer Stock Fund and invested in Common
Stock, or to the other investment funds available under the Plan. Alternatively,
a  Participant  may  direct  that a  certain  percentage  of such  Participant's
interest  in the  Employer  Stock  Fund be  transferred  to the Trust Fund to be
invested in the other investment funds available in accordance with the terms of
the Plan.  Participants  will be permitted  to direct that future  contributions
made to the Plan by or on their  behalf will be invested in the  Employer  Stock
Fund  investing  in the  Common  Stock.  Following  the  initial  election,  the
allocation of a Participant's interest in the Employer Stock Fund may be changed
daily  by  filing  a  Change  of  Investment   Allocation  Form  with  the  Plan
Administrator or by calling Pentegra's voice response unit at (800) 433-4422 and
changing their investment allocation by phone.

Purchase Price of Common Stock

         The funds  transferred  to the Employer  Stock Fund for the purchase of
Common Stock in connection  with the  Conversion  will be used by the Trustee to
purchase shares of Common Stock.  The price paid for such shares of Common Stock
will be the same price as is paid by all other  persons who  purchase  shares of
Common Stock in the Conversion.

         Account assets directed for investment in the Employer Stock Fund after
the  Conversion  shall be invested  by the Trustee to purchase  shares of Common
Stock in open market transactions. The price paid

                                        2

<PAGE>



by the Trustee for shares of Common Stock in the Conversion,  or otherwise, will
not exceed "adequate  consideration" as defined in Section 3(18) of the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA").

Nature of Participant's Interest in the Common Stock

         The Common  Stock will be held in the name of the Trustee for the Plan,
as trustee.  Each Participant has an allocable  interest in the investment funds
of the  Plan  but not in any  particular  assets  of the  Plan.  Accordingly,  a
specific  number of shares of Common Stock will not be directly  attributable to
the Account of any Participant. Dividend rights associated with the Common Stock
held by the Employer  Stock Fund shall be allocated to such Employer Stock Fund.
Any increase  (or  decrease)  in the value of such fund  attributed  to dividend
rights shall be reflected in a Participant's  allocable interest in the Employer
Stock Fund.

Voting and Tender Rights of Common Stock

         The  Trustee   generally   will  exercise   voting  and  tender  rights
attributable  to all Common Stock held by the Trust as directed by  Participants
with  interests  in the Employer  Stock Fund.  With respect to each matter as to
which holders of Common Stock have a right to vote or tender,  each  Participant
will be  allocated a number of voting or tender  instruction  rights  reflecting
such Participant's proportionate interest in the Employer Stock Fund. The number
of shares of Common  Stock  held in the  Employer  Stock  Fund that are voted or
tendered in the  affirmative  and negative on each matter shall be determined by
the number of voting  instruction  rights or tender instruction rights exercised
in the  affirmative  and negative,  respectively,  from the  Participants.  With
respect to shares for which no voting  instruction  rights or tender instruction
rights are received by the Trustee, the Trustee shall vote or tender such shares
within its  discretion as a fiduciary  under the Plan or as directed by the Plan
Administrator.

Minimum Investment

         The minimum  investment  of assets  directed by a  Participant  for the
purchase  of Common  Stock in the  Conversion  shall be $250.00  and may only be
specified in increments of $10.00 Funds may be directed for the purchase of such
Common Stock attributable to a Participant's Account whether or not such Account
assets are 100% vested at the time of such investment election.  With respect to
investment in the Employer Stock Fund after the Conversion,  there is no minimum
level of investment specific to this investment fund.

                             DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

General

         The Bank adopted a multiple  employer  defined  contribution  plan (the
"Financial  Institutions  Thrift  Plan")  effective  April  1,  1994.  The  Bank
terminated  its  participation  in the  Financial  Institutions  Thrift Plan and
adopted the Plan  effective  June 1, 1998, in order to permit the  investment of
Plan assets in Common  Stock.  The Plan is a deferred  compensation  arrangement
established in accordance with the requirements under Section 401(a) and Section
401(k)  of the  Internal  Revenue  Code of 1986 (the  "Code").  The Plan will be
submitted to the Internal  Revenue  Service (the "IRS") in a timely manner for a
determination  that the Plan is qualified  under Section  401(a) of the Code and
that its trust is qualified  under Section  501(a) of the Code. The Bank intends
that the Plan, in operation, will comply with the

                                        3

<PAGE>



requirements  under Section 401(a) and Section 401(k) of the Code. The Bank will
adopt any  amendments  to the Plan that may be necessary to ensure the continued
qualified status of the Plan under the Code and applicable Treasury Regulations.

         Employee  Retirement  Income  Security Act. The Plan is an  "individual
account plan" other than a "money  purchase  pension plan" within the meaning of
ERISA.  As  such,  the  Plan is  subject  to all of the  provisions  of  Title I
(Protection of Employee Benefit Rights) and Title II (Amendments to the Internal
Revenue  Code  Relating  to  Retirement  Plans) of  ERISA,  except  the  funding
requirements  contained  in Part 3 of Title I of ERISA,  which by their terms do
not apply to an individual  account plan (other than a money purchase plan). The
Plan is not subject to Title IV (Plan Termination  Insurance) of ERISA.  Neither
the funding  requirements  contained  in Part 3 of Title I of ERISA nor the plan
termination insurance provisions contained in Title IV of ERISA will be extended
to Participants (as defined below) or beneficiaries under the Plan.

         APPLICABLE   FEDERAL  LAW  REQUIRES  THE  PLAN  TO  IMPOSE  SUBSTANTIAL
RESTRICTIONS ON THE RIGHT OF A PLAN PARTICIPANT TO WITHDRAW AMOUNTS HELD FOR HIS
OR HER  BENEFIT  UNDER  THE  PLAN  PRIOR  TO THE  PARTICIPANT'S  TERMINATION  OF
EMPLOYMENT WITH THE BANK. A SUBSTANTIAL  FEDERAL TAX PENALTY MAY ALSO BE IMPOSED
ON  WITHDRAWALS  MADE  PRIOR  TO THE  PARTICIPANT'S  ATTAINMENT  OF AGE  59-1/2,
REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH A WITHDRAWAL OCCURS DURING HIS OR HER EMPLOYMENT WITH
THE BANK OR AFTER TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT.

         Reference  to Full  Text of  Plan.  The  statements  contained  in this
Prospectus  Supplement are summaries of certain provisions of the Plan. They are
not  complete and are  qualified in their  entirety by the full text of the Plan
which  is filed as an  exhibit  to the  registration  statement  filed  with the
Securities  and  Exchange  Commission.  Copies  of the  Plan are  available  for
inspection  to all  employees by filing a request  with the Plan  Administrator.
Each employee is urged to read carefully the full text of the Plan.

Eligibility and Participation

         All employees of the Bank, who are at least 21 years of age, other than
those who are included in a bargaining unit where retirement  benefits have been
the subject of good faith bargaining, are eligible to participate in the Plan as
of the 1st of  January  or July  following  completion  of one  year of  service
(during which the employee works at least 1,000 hours during a 12-month  period)
with the Bank.  As of  December  31,  1997,  there  were  approximately  six (6)
employees  eligible to participate in the Plan and six (6) employees had elected
to participate in the Plan.

Contributions and Benefits Under the Plan

         Employee  Contributions.  Each  Participant in the Plan is permitted to
elect to reduce his  monthly  Salary (as  defined  below)  pursuant to a "Salary
Reduction  Agreement"  by an  amount  not less than 1% and not more than 15% and
have  that  amount  ("Elective  Deferral")  contributed  to  the  Plan  on  such
Participant's  behalf.  Changes in the level of such  Elective  Deferrals may be
made to be effective as of the  following pay period.  Participants  may suspend
such  Elective  Deferrals  at  any  time.  Such  amounts  are  credited  to  the
Participant's  "Salary  Reduction  Account." For purposes of the Plan,  "Salary"
means a Participant's total taxable  compensation as reported on his or her Form
W-2  (exclusive of any  compensation  deferred from a prior year). A Participant
may elect to modify the amount contributed to

                                        4

<PAGE>



the Plan under such Participant's  Salary Reduction Agreement each pay period by
providing  notice  to the  Plan  Administrator  in  accordance  with  procedures
established by the Plan Administrator from time to time.  Elective Deferrals are
transferred by the Bank to the Trustee of the Plan.

         Matching   Contributions.   The  Bank  will   contribute   a   matching
contribution  ("Matching  Contributions")  in  addition  to  each  Participant's
Elective  Deferral  of up to 50%  of  the  amount  of a  Participant's  Elective
Deferral  to a  maximum  of  6%  of  the  Participant's  Salary.  Such  Matching
Contributions  are  subject  to  revision  by the Bank from  time to time.  Such
Matching Contributions shall be subject to the applicable vesting schedule noted
hereinafter.

Limitations on Contributions

         Limitations  on  Annual   Additions  and  Benefits.   Pursuant  to  the
requirements of the Code, the Plan provides that the amount of contributions and
forfeitures  allocated to each Participant's Salary Reduction Account during any
Plan  Year  may not  exceed  the  lesser  of 25% of the  Participant's  ss.  415
Compensation for the Plan Year or $30,000 (adjusted for increases in the cost of
living as permitted by the Code).  A  Participant's  ss. 415  Compensation  is a
Participant's  compensation,  excluding any employer contribution to the Plan or
to any other plan of deferred  compensation or any distributions  from a plan of
deferred compensation.  In addition,  annual additions are limited to the extent
necessary to prevent the  limitations  for the combined  qualified  plans of the
Bank from being exceeded. To the extent that these limitations would be exceeded
by reason of excess annual additions with respect to a Participant,  such excess
will be disposed of as follows:

                  (i) Any excess  amount in the  Participant's  Account  will be
         used to reduce the Bank's  contributions  for such  Participant  in the
         next limitation year, and each succeeding limitation year if necessary;

                  (ii) If an excess amount still exists,  and the Participant is
         not covered by the Plan at the end of the  limitation  year, the excess
         amount will be held  unallocated in a suspense  account which will then
         be  applied  to reduce  future  Bank  contributions  for all  remaining
         Participants  in  the  next   limitation   year,  and  each  succeeding
         limitation year if necessary; and

                  (iii) If a suspense account is in existence at any time during
         the limitation  year, the Participant will not receive an allocation of
         investment gains and losses.

         Limitation  on Employee  Contributions.  The amount of a  Participant's
Elective   Deferrals  (when  aggregated  with  any  elective  deferrals  of  the
Participant under a simplified employee pension plan or a tax-deferred annuity),
on an annual basis, may not exceed $10,000 adjusted for increases in the cost of
living as  permitted  by the Code.  Contributions  in excess of this  limitation
("excess  deferrals")  will be included in the  Participant's  gross  income for
federal  income tax purposes in the year they are made.  In  addition,  any such
excess deferral will again be subject to federal income tax when  distributed by
the Plan to the  Participant,  unless the  excess  deferral  (together  with any
income  allocable  thereto) is distributed to the Participant not later than the
first April 15th  following  the close of the  taxable  year in which the excess
deferral is made.  Any income on the excess  deferral  that is  distributed  not
later than such date shall be  treated,  for  federal  income tax  purposes,  as
earned and received by the  Participant  in the taxable year in which the excess
deferral is made.

         Limitation  on Plan  Contributions  for Highly  Compensated  Employees.
Section  401(k) of the Code limits the amount of Elective  Deferrals that may be
made to the Plan in any Plan  Year on behalf  of  Highly  Compensated  Employees
(defined  below) in relation to the amount of Elective  Deferrals  made by or on
behalf of all other employees eligible to participate in the Plan. Specifically,
the actual  deferral  percentage  (i.e.,  the average of the ratios,  calculated
separately for each eligible  employee in each group,  by dividing the amount of
Elective  Deferrals  credited to the Salary  Reduction  Account of such eligible
employee  by such  eligible  employee's  compensation  for the Plan Year) of the
Highly  Compensated  Employees  may not  exceed  the  greater of (i) 125% of the
actual deferral percentage of all other eligible  employees,  or (ii) the lesser
of (a) 200% of the actual deferral  percentage of all other eligible  employees,
or (b) the actual deferral  percentage of all other eligible  employees plus two
percentage points. In addition, the actual contribution percentage for such Plan
Years (i.e., the average of the ratios  calculated  separately for each eligible
employee  in each  group,  by  dividing  the amount of  voluntary  employee  and
employer  matching  contributions  credited  to the  Account  of  such  eligible
employee  by such  eligible  employee's  compensation  for the Plan Year) of the
Highly  Compensated  Employees  may not  exceed  the  greater of (i) 125% of the
actual  contribution  percentage of all other  eligible  employees,  or (ii) the
lesser of (a) 200% of the actual  contribution  percentage of all other eligible
employees,  or (b) the  actual  contribution  percentage  of all other  eligible
employees plus two percentage points.

         In general,  a Highly  Compensated  Employee includes any employee who,
during the Plan Year (1) was a 5% owner (i.e.,  owns directly or indirectly more
than 5% of the stock of an  employer,  or stock  possessing  more than 5% of the
total  combined  voting  power of all  stock of an  employer),  or (2)  received
compensation  from an employer for the preceding  year in excess of $80,000 and,
if the employer so elects,  was in the top 20% of employees by compensation  for
such year.  The dollar  amounts in the  foregoing  sentence  adjust  annually to
reflect increases in the cost of living.

         In order to  prevent  the  disqualification  of the  Plan,  any  amount
contributed by Highly  Compensated  Employees  that exceed the average  deferral
limitation in any Plan Year ("excess  contributions"),  together with any income
allocable  thereto,  must be  distributed to such Highly  Compensated  Employees
before the close of the following Plan Year.  However,  the Bank will be subject
to  a  10%  excise  tax  on  any  excess   contributions   unless   such  excess
contributions,   together  with  any  income  allocable   thereto,   either  are
recharacterized  or are  distributed  before the close of the first 2 1/2 months
following the Plan Year to which such excess contributions relate.

         Top-Heavy  Plan  Requirements.  If for  any  Plan  Year  the  Plan is a
Top-Heavy  Plan (as  defined  below),  then (i) the Bank may be required to make
certain  minimum  contributions  to the Plan on behalf of non-key  employees (as
defined  below),  and (ii)  certain  additional  restrictions  would  apply with
respect to the combination of annual  additions to the Plan and projected annual
benefits under any defined benefit plan maintained by the Bank.

         In general,  the Plan will be regarded  as a  "Top-Heavy  Plan" for any
Plan Year if,  as of the last day of the  preceding  Plan  Year,  the  aggregate
balance of the Accounts of Participants who are Key Employees exceeds 60% of the
aggregate balance of the Accounts of all Participants.  Key Employees  generally
include  any  employee  who, at any time during the Plan Year or any of the four
preceding Plan Years,  is (1) an officer of the Bank having annual  compensation
in excess of $60,000 who is in an administrative or policy-making  capacity, (2)
one of the ten  employees  having annual  compensation  in excess of $30,000 and
owning,  directly or indirectly,  the largest interests in the Company, (3) a 5%
owner of the Bank,  (i.e., owns directly or indirectly more than 5% of the stock
of the Company, or stock

                                        6

possessing  more than 5% of the total combined  voting power of all stock of the
Company),  or (4) a 1% owner of the Company having annual compensation in excess
of $160,000.

Investment of Plan Assets

         All amounts credited to Participants'  Accounts under the Plan are held
in the Plan's trust (the "Trust") which is administered by the Trustee appointed
by the Bank's Board of Directors.  Prior to the Conversion,  all Plan assets are
invested in the funds listed below, except for the Employer Stock Fund. Upon the
Conversion,  the Accounts of a Participant  held in Trust under the Plan will be
invested by the Trustee,  at the direction of the Participant,  in the following
funds, including the Employer Stock Fund:

         a.       S&P 500 Stock Fund
         b.       Stable Value Fund
         c.       S&P MidCap Stock Fund
         d.       Money Market Fund
         e.       Government Bond Fund
         f.       Income Plus Asset Allocation Fund
         g.       Growth and Income Asset Allocation Fund
         h.       Growth Asset Allocation Fund
         i.       International Stock Fund

A brief summary of such funds is as follows:

         S&P  500  Stock  Fund:  Invests  in the  stocks  of a  broad  array  of
established U.S. companies.  Its objective is long-term:  to earn higher returns
by investing in the largest companies in the U.S. economy.

         Stable Value Fund: Invests primarily in Guaranteed Investment Contracts
and   Synthetic   Guaranteed    Investment    Contracts.    Its   objective   is
short-to-intermediate   term:   to  achieve  a  stable   return  over  short  to
intermediate  periods  of time  while  preserving  the value of a  Participant's
investment.

         S&P  MidCap  Stock  Fund:  Invests  in the  stocks  of  mid-sized  U.S.
companies.  Its objective is long-term: to earn higher returns which reflect the
growth potential of such companies.

         Money Market Fund: Invests in a broad range of high-quality  short-term
instruments. Its objective is short-term to achieve competitive short-term rates
or return while preserving the value of the Participant's principal.

         Government Bond Fund: Invests in U.S. Treasury bonds with a maturity of
20 years or more.  Its objective is long-term:  to earn a higher level of income
along with the potential for capital appreciation.

         Income Plus Asset Allocation  Fund:  Invests  approximately  80% of its
portfolio in a  combination  of stable value  investments  and U.S.  bonds.  The
balance  is  invested  in  U.S.  and  international  stocks.  Its  objective  is
intermediate-term:  to preserve  the value of a  Participant's  investment  over
short periods of time and to offer some potential for growth.


                                        7

<PAGE>



         Growth and Income Asset Allocation Fund:  Invests in U.S.  domestic and
international  stocks,  U.S. domestic bonds, and stable value  investments.  Its
objective  is  intermediate-term:  to provide a balance  between  the pursuit of
growth and protection from risk.

         Growth  Asset  Allocation  Fund:  Invests the majority of its assets in
stocks -- domestic as well as  international.  Its  objective is  long-term:  to
pursue high growth of a Participant's investment over time.

         International  Stock Fund:  Invests in over 1,000 foreign  stocks in 20
countries.  Its  objective  is  long-term:  to offer  the  potential  return  of
investing  in the  stocks  of  established  non-U.S.  companies,  as well as the
potential risk-reduction of broad diversification.

Employer Stock Fund

         The  Employer  Stock Fund will consist of  investments  in Common Stock
made on the effective  date of the  Conversion.  Cash  dividends  paid on Common
Stock  held in the  Employer  Stock  Fund will be  credited  to a cash  dividend
subaccount  for each  Participant  investing in the Employer  Stock Fund. On the
occasion of a payment of a cash  dividend,  the Trustee may use the  dividend to
purchase  additional  shares of Common  Stock.  The Trustee  will, to the extent
practicable,  use all amounts held by it in the Employer  Stock Fund (except the
amounts  credited to cash  dividend  subaccounts)  to purchase  shares of Common
Stock of the Company as of the effective date of the  Conversion.  Following the
Conversion,  the Employer Stock Fund may purchase  shares of Common Stock in the
open market or from  Participants'  Accounts  directing the sale of such Account
assets.  Pending  investment in Common Stock,  assets held in the Employer Stock
Fund will be placed in bank deposits or other short-term investments.

         When Common Stock is purchased in the  Conversion no sales  commissions
will be paid.  The Bank  expects  to pay any  transfer  fees and other  expenses
incurred  in the  purchase  of  Common  Stock for the  Employer  Stock  Fund.  A
Participant's Account will be adjusted to reflect changes in the value of shares
of Common  Stock  resulting  from stock  dividends,  stock  splits,  and similar
changes.

         As of the date of this  Prospectus  Supplement,  none of the  shares of
Common  Stock have been issued or are  outstanding  and there is no  established
market for the Common Stock.  Accordingly,  there is no record of the historical
performance of the Employer Stock Fund.

         In  connection  with the  Conversion,  Participants  may,  prior to the
expiration  of the  Subscription  Offering  being  conducted  by the  Company in
connection  with  the  Conversion,  elect  to  liquidate  all or part  of  their
investments  in the  other  investment  funds  under the Plan and  transfer  the
liquidation  proceeds  to the  Employer  Stock  Fund.  See "Time  for  Directing
Investment." Such an investment  election will be evidenced by a properly signed
and timely delivered Investment Form and Form 7. The Trustee will then subscribe
to purchase in the  Conversion  the maximum  number of shares of Common Stock of
the Holding  Company  that may be  purchased  by  Participants  with the amounts
allocated to the Employer Stock Fund as of the end of the  subscription  period.
In all instances,  purchases by Participants  shall be subject to the individual
purchase limitations set forth in the Bank's Plan of Conversion. If there is not
enough  Common Stock in the  Conversion  to fill all  subscriptions,  the Common
Stock would be  apportioned  and the Plan may not be able to purchase all of the
Common  Stock  requested  by the  Participants.  In such case,  the Trustee will
purchase  shares of Common  Stock in the open  market  after the  Conversion  to
fulfill Participants'  requests. Such purchases may be at prices higher than the
purchase price in the Conversion.


                                        8

<PAGE>



         The Bank or the Plan Trustee may adopt investment guidelines, which may
limit or restrict a  Participant's  investment in the Employer Stock Fund. In no
event may any  Participant  purchase  in the  aggregate  shares of Common  Stock
through the Employer  Stock Fund, or otherwise,  in an amount in excess of 6,000
shares of Common Stock being offered by the Company in the Conversion.  (See the
discussion  under "The  Conversion -- Limitations on Purchases of Shares" in the
accompanying  Prospectus for clarification of purchases  aggregated for purposes
of this purchase limitation.)

         Each  Participant who makes an election to direct  investment of assets
under the Employer Stock Fund may liquidate such investment at a future date, in
whole,  or in part,  by  filing a Change  of  Investment  Allocation  Form  with
Pentegra,  or by using Pentegra's voice response unit by calling (800) 433-4422,
in accordance with established procedures to dispose of such Plan investment and
reinvest  the net  proceeds in an  alternative  investment  under the Plan.  The
Trustee  shall  complete  such sale as soon as  administratively  feasible.  The
proceeds of such sale, net of expenses,  shall be allocated to the Participant's
Account and reinvested in accordance with the Plan.

         Please refer to the section  "Restrictions on Resale"  contained herein
for  additional  information  related to the sale of Common Stock held under the
Employer Stock Fund as an investment in a Participant's Account.

         Investments  in the  Employer  Stock Fund may involve  certain  special
risks related to investment in Common Stock of the Company.  For a discussion of
these risk factors, see "Special Considerations" in the Prospectus.  Please note
that  investment  in the Employer  Stock Fund is not an  investment in a savings
account or  certificate  of deposit,  and such  investment  in the Common  Stock
through  the  Employer  Stock  Fund is not  insured  by the  FDIC  or any  other
regulatory agency. Further, no assurances can be given with respect to the price
at which such Common Stock may be sold in the future.

Investment Accounts

         The Trust assets are invested by the Trustee  pursuant to Participants'
directions,  as described below. Each investment fund is valued as of the end of
each business day.

         Each Participant  directs that the contributions made shall be invested
to  purchase  units for his or her  credit  in one or more of the  above  listed
funds.  Participants may elect a new investment mix for future  contributions to
the Plan once per business  day.  Participants  are  entitled to designate  what
percentage  of employee  contributions  made on their behalf will be invested in
the various investment funds offered by the Plan.  Reallocation and reinvestment
of previously  invested  contributions  may be made daily.  To the extent that a
Participant  fails to make an  investment  direction,  his or her  accounts  are
invested in units of the Money Market Fund.

         The Plan provides  that a Participant  may direct the Trustee to invest
all or a portion of his or her Account in the investment  funds set forth above.
In addition,  as of [DATE],  a Participant  may make an  investment  election to
invest all, or a portion  thereof,  of a  Participant's  Account in the Employer
Stock Fund for the purchase of Common  Stock to be purchased in the  Conversion,
or thereafter,  as described  below.  Participants  may change their  investment
directions or direct a transfer among investment funds, provided that changes of
investment  direction or directions to transfer are made in accordance  with the
terms of the Plan.


                                        9

         A Participant may elect to have both past and future  contributions and
additions to the  Participant's  accounts invested in such other accounts as set
forth above. These elections will be effective, provided such notice is filed in
accordance with procedures  established by the Plan  Administrator  from time to
time.  Any amounts  credited  to a  Participant's  Account for which  investment
directions  are not given will be invested in  accordance  with the terms of the
Plan.

         The  net  gain  (or  loss)  of  the  invested  funds  from  investments
(including  interest  payments,  dividends,  realized and  unrealized  gains and
losses on securities, and expenses paid from the Trust) will be determined daily
during the Plan Year. For purposes of such allocations,  all assets of the Trust
are valued at their fair market value.

         Contributions  under  the  Plan  have  been  invested  in  the  various
investment  accounts  available  for  investment  under the  funds as  described
herein.  The annual  percentage  return on these funds for calendar  years 1997,
1996 and 1995 was approximately:

Benefits Under the Plan

         Vesting.   A   Participant,   at  all  times,   has  a  fully   vested,
nonforfeitable  interest in any contributions that such Participant makes to the
Plan, including the earnings thereon.

         A Participant will become vested and have a nonforfeitable  interest in
contributions  from the Bank  based on the  number of years of  service  and the
vesting schedule set forth below.

         Number of Full Years of Service      Nonforfeitable % of Account

Withdrawals and Distributions From the Plan

         General.  All payments in respect of a  Participant's  Account shall be
made in cash from the Plan's Trust fund and in accordance with the provisions of
the Plan.  The amount of payment will be determined in accordance  with the Unit
(as defined in the Plan) values on the valuation  date  coinciding  with or next
following  the date  proper  notice  is filed  with  the  Administrator,  unless
following such

                                       10

<PAGE>



valuation date a decrease in the Unit values of the Participant's  investment in
any of the available investment funds occurs prior to the date such Units of the
Participant  are  redeemed in which case that part of the payment  which must be
provided  through the sale of existing Units shall equal the value of such Units
determined  on the  date  of  redemption  which  date  shall  occur  as  soon as
administratively  practicable  on or following  the  valuation  date such proper
notice is filed  with the  Administrator.  The  redemption  date Unit value with
respect to a Participant's  investment in any of the available  investment funds
shall  equal the  value of a Unit in such  investment  fund,  as  determined  in
accordance  with the valuation  method  applicable to Unit  investments  in such
investment fund on the date the Participant's investment is redeemed.

         Payments  will  generally be made in a lump sum as soon as  practicable
after such valuation date or date of redemption,  as may be applicable,  subject
to any applicable  restriction on redemption  imposed on amounts invested in any
of the available Investment Funds.

         Any  partial  withdrawal  shall be  deemed to come  initially  from the
Participant's  after-tax  contributions made prior to January 1, 1987, then from
the  Participant's  after-tax  contributions  made after  December 31, 1986 plus
earnings  on all of  the  Participant's  after-tax  contributions.  Any  partial
withdrawal amounts exceeding the two preceding categories will be deemed to come
from additional categories as provided in Section 7.1 of the Plan.

         Withdrawals  Prior to Termination  of Employment.  The Bank may, at its
option, permit Participants to make withdrawals from one or more of the portions
of their  Accounts  while  employed  by the Bank under the terms and  provisions
described in the Plan.

         To the extent  permitted by the Bank,  a  Participant  may  voluntarily
withdraw  some or all of his or her  Account  (other  than  his or her  Elective
Deferrals and qualified  nonelective  contributions  treated as 401(k) deferrals
except  as  hereinafter  permitted)  while in  employment  by filing a notice of
withdrawal with the Administrator. Only one in-service withdrawal may be made in
any Plan Year from each of the rollover amount of the Participant's  Account and
the remainder of the Participant's Account. This restriction shall not, however,
apply to a withdrawal in conjunction with a hardship withdrawal.

         Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph, a Participant may not withdraw
any matching,  supplemental,  or qualified nonelective  contributions unless (i)
the Participant has completed 60 months of  participation  in the Plan; (ii) the
withdrawal occurs at least 24 months after such  contributions  were made by the
Bank  (iii)  the Bank  terminates  the Plan  without  establishing  a  qualified
successor plan; or (iv) the Participant dies, is disabled,  retires, attains age
59 1/2 or  terminates  employment  with the Bank.  For purposes of the preceding
requirements,  if the  Participant's  Account  includes  amounts which have been
transferred from a defined  contribution  plan established prior to the adoption
of the Plan by the Bank,  the period of time during  which  amounts were held on
behalf of such  Participant and the periods of participation of such Participant
under such defined contribution plan shall be taken in account.

         A  Participant  may  make  a  withdrawal  of  his  Elective  Deferrals,
qualified nonelective contributions which are treated as elective deferrals, and
any earnings  credited  thereto prior to January 1, 1989, prior to attaining age
59 1/2,  provided  that the  withdrawal is solely on account of an immediate and
heavy  financial need and is necessary to satisfy such financial  need. The term
"immediate and heavy  financial  need" shall be limited to the need of funds for
(i) the payment of medical  expenses  (described in Section  213(d) of the Code)
incurred  by  the  Participant,   the  Participant's   spouse,  or  any  of  the
Participant's  dependents  (as  defined  in Section  152 of the Code),  (ii) the
payment of tuition and room and board for

                                       11

<PAGE>



the  next  12  months  of  post-secondary  education  of  the  Participant,  the
Participant's  spouse, the Participant's  children,  or any of the Participant's
dependents  (as  defined  in  Section  152  of the  Code),  (iii)  the  purchase
(excluding mortgage payments) of a principal  residence for the Participant,  or
(iv) the prevention of eviction of the Participant from his principal  residence
or the prevention of foreclosure on the mortgage of the Participant's  principal
residence.  The amount of any  hardship  withdrawal  shall not exceed the amount
required to meet the  demonstrated  financial  hardship,  including  any amounts
necessary to pay any federal income taxes and penalties  reasonably  anticipated
to  result  from the  distribution  as  certified  to the  Administrator  by the
Participant.

         Distributions  Upon  Termination  of  Employment.   A  Participant  who
terminates  employment  with the Bank may request a  distribution  of his or her
Account  at any  time  thereafter  up to  attainment  of age 70  1/2;  provided,
however,   such  Participant   files  a  request  for   distribution   with  the
Administrator.  If a Participant does not file such a request,  the value of his
or her  Account  will be paid as soon as  practicable  after  the  Participant's
attainment  of age 70 1/2,  but in no event shall  payment  commence  later than
April  1 of  the  calendar  year  following  the  calendar  year  in  which  the
Participant  attains age 70 1/2 unless otherwise  provided by law. A Participant
may  request  a  distribution  of all or a part  of his or her  Account  no more
frequently  than  once per  calendar  year by  filing  the  proper  request  for
distribution with the Administrator.

         In  lieu  of any  lump  sum  payment  of his or her  total  Account,  a
Participant  who  has  terminated  employment  may  elect  in  the  request  for
distribution  to be  paid  in up to 20  annual  installments,  provided  that  a
Participant  shall not be permitted to elect an installment  period in excess of
his or her remaining life  expectancy.  The amount of each  installment  will be
equal to the value of the total Units in the Participant's  Account,  multiplied
by a fraction, the numerator of which is one and the denominator of which is the
number of remaining  annual  installments  including the one then being paid, so
that at the end of the installment period so elected,  the total Account will be
liquidated.  The value of the Units will be determined  in  accordance  with the
Unit  values on the  valuation  date on or next  following  the  Administrator's
receipt of the  Participant's  request for  distribution and on each anniversary
thereafter  subject  to  applicable  Treasury  Regulations  under  Code  Section
401(a)(9).  The election to receive installment payments may not be subsequently
changed  by  the   Participant   unless   written  notice  is  provided  to  the
Administrator. A Participant may withdraw the balance of the Units in his or her
Account in a lump sum at any time, notwithstanding the fact that the Participant
previously received a distribution in the same calendar year.

         Distributions  due to Disability.  A Participant  who is separated from
employment  by reason of a disability  (as defined by the Plan) may withdraw his
or her total Account balance under the Plan and have such amounts paid to him or
her in accordance with the terms of the Plan. If a disabled  Participant becomes
reemployed  subsequent  to  withdrawal  of  some  or all  of his or her  Account
balance, such Participant may not repay to the Plan any such withdrawn amounts.

         Distributions  due to Death. If a married  Participant dies, his or her
spouse,  as beneficiary,  will receive a death benefit equal to the value of the
Participant's  Account determined on the valuation date on or next following the
Administrator's  receipt of notice that such Participant died; provided however,
that if a Participant's  spouse had consented in writing to the designation of a
different beneficiary, the Participant's Account will be paid to such designated
beneficiary.  If a Participant  is not married at the time of his death,  his or
her Account will be paid to his or her designated beneficiary.

         Distributions  of Common Stock.  Participants  receiving a distribution
from the Plan where assets under the Plan have been directed by the  Participant
to be invested in the Employer  Stock Fund may have such assets  distributed  in
kind in the form of Common Stock.

         Nonalienation  of Benefits.  Except with respect to federal  income tax
withholding and as provided with respect to a qualified domestic relations order
(as defined in the Code),  benefits  payable under the Plan shall not be subject
in any manner to anticipation,  alienation, sale, transfer,  assignment, pledge,
encumbrance,  charge,  garnishment,  execution,  or  levy  of any  kind,  either
voluntary  or  involuntary,  and any  attempt  to  anticipate,  alienate,  sell,
transfer, assign, pledge, encumber, charge or otherwise dispose of any rights to
benefits payable under the Plan shall be void.

         Plan Loans.  A Participant  may borrow money from the vested portion of
his or her account.  The minimum amount a Participant may borrow is $1,000.  The
maximum amount is 50% of a Participant's  vested Account balance.  A participant
may never borrow more than $50,000 minus the highest  outstanding balance on any
individual loan during the last 12 months.

         A  Participant  may take up to five  years to repay a  general  purpose
loan.  If the  Participant  is using  the loan to  purchase  his or her  primary
residence,  a repayment  period of 15 years is permissible.  A Participant  must
repay the loan through payroll deductions.

         If a Participant  fails to make any loan repayment when due, his or her
loan will be in  default.  If such  default  occurs  after the first 12  monthly
payments  of the loan have been  satisfied,  the full amount of the loan will be
due and payable  within 60 days of the due date of the last monthly  installment
payment.  If the outstanding balance of the loan is in default and is not repaid
in the  aforementioned  time  period,  the  Participant  will be  deemed to have
received a distribution of said amount.

Administration of the Plan

         The Bank, effective June 1, 1998, will administer the Plan. The Trustee
with  respect to the Plan is the named  fiduciary  of the Plan for  purposes  of
Section 402 of ERISA.  The Bank of New York will serve as Trustee and  Custodian
for all  investment  funds under the Plan except the  Employer  Stock Fund.  The
Bank's  President,  Gary N. Pelehaty,  will serve as trustee with respect to the
Employer Stock Fund ("Employer Stock Fund Trustee").  The Plan  Administrator is
responsible for the administration of the Plan, interpretation of the provisions
of the  Plan,  prescribing  procedure  for  filing  applications  for  benefits,
preparation and distribution of information  explaining the Plan, maintenance of
plan  records,  books of  account  and all other data  necessary  for the proper
administration  of the Plan,  and  preparation  and  filing of all  returns  and
reports  relating  to the Plan  which  are  required  to be filed  with the U.S.
Department of Labor and the IRS, and for all disclosures  required to be made to
Participants, beneficiaries and others under Sections 104 and 105 of ERISA.

         The Trustee  receives and holds the  contributions to the Plan in Trust
and distributes  them to Participants  and  beneficiaries in accordance with the
terms of the Plan and the directions of the Plan  Administrator.  The Trustee is
responsible  for investment of the assets of the Trust.  The address of the Plan
Administrator  and the  Employer  Stock Fund Trustee is 789  Farnsworth  Avenue,
Bordentown,  New Jersey,  08505. The address of the Bank of New York is One Wall
Street, New York, New York, 10286.


                                       13

<PAGE>



Reports to Plan Participants

         The Administrator will furnish to each Participant a statement at least
quarterly showing (i) the balance in the Participant's  Account as of the end of
that period,  (ii) the amount of  contributions  allocated to the  Participant's
Account for that period, and (iii) the adjustments to such Participant's Account
to reflect earnings or losses (if any).  Participants  investing in the Employer
Stock  Fund  shall  also  receive  a copy  of the  Company's  Annual  Report  to
Stockholders and a proxy statement related to stockholder meetings.

Amendment and Termination

         It is the  intention  of the Bank to  continue  the Plan  indefinitely.
Nevertheless, the Bank, within its sole discretion may terminate the Plan at any
time.  The Bank reserves the right to make,  from time to time, any amendment or
amendments  to the Plan  that do not cause any part of the Trust to be used for,
or diverted to, any purpose other than the exclusive  benefit of Participants or
their beneficiaries;  provided, however, that the Bank may make any amendment it
determines necessary or desirable, with or without retroactive effect, to comply
with ERISA.

Merger, Consolidation, or Transfer

         In the event of the merger or  consolidation  of the Plan with  another
plan,  or the transfer of the Trust assets to another  plan,  the Plan  requires
that  each  Participant  would  (if  either  the  Plan or the  other  plan  then
terminated)  receive a benefit immediately after the merger,  consolidation,  or
transfer  that is equal  to or  greater  than the  benefit  he would  have  been
entitled to receive  immediately before the merger,  consolidation,  or transfer
(if the Plan had then terminated).

Federal Income Tax Consequences

         The following  discussion  is only a brief  summary of certain  federal
income tax aspects of the Plan which are of general  application  under the Code
and is not intended to be a complete or  definitive  description  of the federal
income tax consequences of participating in or receiving  distributions from the
Plan.  The summary is  necessarily  general in nature and does not purport to be
complete.  Moreover,  statutory  provisions are subject to change,  as are their
interpretations,  and their  application  may vary in individual  circumstances.
Finally,  the consequences  under applicable state and local income tax laws may
not be the same as under the federal income tax laws.  Participants are urged to
consult  their tax advisors with respect to any  distribution  from the Plan and
transactions involving the Plan.

         The Plan will be  submitted to the IRS for a  determination  that it is
qualified  under  Section  401(a) and 401(k) of the Code,  and that the  related
Trust is exempt  from tax  under  Section  501(a)  of the  Code.  A plan that is
"qualified"  under these sections of the Code is afforded  special tax treatment
which include the following: (1) The sponsoring employer is allowed an immediate
tax deduction for the amount contributed to the Plan each year; (2) Participants
pay no current  income  tax on  amounts  contributed  by the  employer  on their
behalf;  and (3)  earnings of the plan are  tax-exempt  thereby  permitting  the
tax-free  accumulation  of  income  and gains on  investments.  The Plan will be
administered to comply in operation with the  requirements of the Code as of the
applicable  effective  date of any change in the law. The Bank expects to timely
adopt any amendments to the Plan that may be necessary to maintain the qualified
status of the Plan under the Code.

                                       14

<PAGE>



         Assuming  that  the  Plan  is   administered  in  accordance  with  the
requirements  of the Code and that the IRS issues a favorable  determination  as
described in the preceding  paragraph,  participation in the Plan under existing
federal income tax laws will have the following effects:

                  (a) Amounts  contributed to a Participant's  Salary  Reduction
         Account and the investment  earnings on this Account are not includable
         in a Participant's  federal taxable income until such  contributions or
         earnings are actually  distributed or withdrawn from the Plan.  Special
         tax treatment may apply to the taxable portion of any distribution that
         includes  Common  Stock or  qualifies  as a Lump Sum  Distribution  (as
         described below).

                  (b)  Income  earned  on assets  held by the Trust  will not be
         taxable to the Trust.

         Lump Sum Distribution. A distribution from the Plan to a Participant or
the beneficiary of a Participant  will qualify as a Lump Sum  Distribution if it
is made: (i) within one taxable year of the Participant or beneficiary;  (ii) on
account of the Participant's death,  disability,  or separation from service, or
after the  Participant  attains age 59 1/2; and (iii) consists of the balance to
the  credit of the  Participant  under  this Plan and all other  profit  sharing
plans, if any,  maintained by the Bank. The portion of any Lump Sum Distribution
that is required to be included in the  Participant's or  beneficiary's  taxable
income for federal income tax purposes (the "total taxable amount")  consists of
the entire  amount of such Lump Sum  Distribution  less the amount of  after-tax
contributions, if any, made by the Participant to any other profit sharing plans
maintained by the Bank which is included in such distribution.

         Averaging  Rules. The portion of the total taxable amount of a Lump Sum
Distribution  that is attributable to participation in this Plan or in any other
profit-sharing  plan maintained by the Bank (the "ordinary income portion") will
be taxable  generally  as  ordinary  income  for  federal  income tax  purposes.
However, a Participant who has completed at least five years of participation in
this Plan  before  the  taxable  year in which the  distribution  is made,  or a
beneficiary who receives a Lump Sum Distribution on account of the Participant's
death (regardless of the period of the Participant's  participation in this Plan
or any other  profit-sharing plan maintained by an employer),  may elect to have
the ordinary income portion of such Lump Sum  Distribution  taxed according to a
special  averaging  rule  ("five-year  averaging").  The election of the special
averaging  rules may apply  only to one Lump Sum  Distribution  received  by the
Participant  or  beneficiary,  provided  such amount is received on or after the
Participant  turns 59 1/2 and the  recipient  elects to have any other  Lump Sum
Distribution from a qualified plan received in the same taxable year taxed under
the special averaging rule. Under a special  grandfather  rule,  individuals who
turned 50 by 1986 may elect to have  their  Lump Sum  Distribution  taxed  under
either the five-year  averaging  rule or under the prior law ten-year  averaging
rule.  Such  individuals  also may  elect to have that  portion  of the Lump Sum
Distribution  attributable to the  participant's  pre-1974  participation in the
Plan taxed at a flat 20% rate as gain from the sale of capital assets.

         Common  Stock  Included  in  Lump  Sum  Distribution.  If  a  Lump  Sum
Distribution includes Common Stock, the distribution  generally will be taxed in
the manner described above, except that the total taxable amount will be reduced
by the amount of any net  unrealized  appreciation  with  respect to such Common
Stock  (i.e.,  the excess of the value of such  Common  Stock at the time of the
distribution  over its cost to the Plan).  The tax basis of such Common Stock to
the  Participant  or  beneficiary  for purposes of computing gain or loss on its
subsequent  sale  will  be the  value  of  the  Common  Stock  at  the  time  of
distribution  less the  amount  of net  unrealized  appreciation.  Any gain on a
subsequent sale or other taxable disposition of such Common Stock, to the extent
of the amount of net unrealized appreciation at the time of distribution will be
considered either short-term capital gain or long-term capital gain

                                       15

<PAGE>



depending  upon the  length of the  holding  period  of the  Common  Stock.  The
recipient  of a  distribution  may  elect  to  include  the  amount  of any  net
unrealized  appreciation in the total taxable amount of such distribution to the
extent allowed by the Treasury Regulations.

         Distributions: Rollovers and Direct Transfers to Another Qualified Plan
or to an IRA.  Pursuant  to a change  in the law,  effective  January  1,  1993,
virtually  all  distributions  from  the  Plan  may be  rolled  over to  another
qualified plan or to an individual  retirement account ("IRA") without regard to
whether the distribution is a Lump Sum  Distribution or a Partial  Distribution.
Effective  January  1,  1993,  Participants  have the right to elect to have the
Trustee  transfer  all or any  portion of an  "eligible  rollover  distribution"
directly to another plan  qualified  under  Section  401(a) of the Code or to an
IRA.  If  the  Participant  does  not  elect  to  have  an  "eligible   rollover
distribution"  transferred  directly to another qualified plan or to an IRA, the
distribution will be subject to a mandatory federal withholding tax equal to 20%
of the taxable distribution. An "eligible rollover distribution means any amount
distributed from the Plan except: (i) a distribution that is (a) one of a series
of  substantially  equal periodic  payments (not less  frequently than annually)
made for the life (or life  expectancy) of the Participant or the joint lives of
the  Participant and his or her designated  beneficiary,  or (b) for a specified
period of ten years or more;  (ii) any amount that is required to be distributed
under the minimum distribution rules; and (iii) any other distributions excepted
under applicable  federal law. The tax law change described above did not modify
the special tax treatment of Lump Sum Distributions  that are not rolled over or
transferred.

         Additional  Tax on Early  Distributions.  A Participant  who receives a
distribution  from the Plan prior to attaining  age 59 1/2 will be subject to an
additional  income tax equal to 10% of the taxable  amount of the  distribution.
The 10%  additional  income  tax will not  apply,  however,  to the  extent  the
distribution  is  rolled  over  into  an IRA or  another  qualified  plan or the
distribution is (i) made to a beneficiary (or to the estate of the  Participant)
on or after the death of the Participant, (ii) attributable to the Participant's
being disabled within the meaning of Section 72(m)(7) of the Code, (iii) part of
a series of  substantially  equal periodic  payments (not less  frequently  than
annually) made for the life (or life expectancy) of the Participant or the joint
lives (or joint life expectancies) of the Participant and his beneficiary,  (iv)
made to the  Participant  after  separation  from  service  on  account of early
retirement  under the Plan after  attainment  of age 55, (v) made to pay medical
expenses to the extent deductible for federal income tax purposes, (vi) pursuant
to  a  qualified   domestic  relations  order,  or  (vii)  made  to  effect  the
distribution of excess contributions or excess deferrals.

         The  foregoing is only a brief  summary of certain  federal  income tax
aspects of the Plan which are of general  application  under the Code and is not
intended to be a complete or definitive  description  of the federal  income tax
consequences  of  participating  in or  receiving  distributions  from the Plan.
Accordingly,  each Participant is urged to consult a tax advisor  concerning the
federal,  state and local tax  consequences  of  participating  in and receiving
distributions from the Plan.

ERISA and Other Qualifications

          As noted above, the Plan is subject to certain provisions of ERISA and
will be submitted  to the IRS for a  determination  that it is  qualified  under
Section 401(a) of the Code.

Restrictions on Resale

         Any person  receiving  shares of Common  Stock under the Plan who is an
"affiliate" of the Bank or the Company as the term  "affiliate" is used in Rules
144 and 405 under the Securities Act of 1933

                                       16

<PAGE>



(e.g.,  directors,  officers,  and substantial  shareholders of the Company) may
reoffer or resell such shares only pursuant to a  registration  statement  filed
under the Securities Act of 1933 or, assuming the availability thereof, pursuant
to Rule 144 or some other  exemption  of the  registration  requirements  of the
Securities  Act of  1933  (the  "Securities  Act").  Any  person  who  may be an
"affiliate"  of the Bank or the Company may wish to consult with counsel  before
transferring any Common Stock owned by him. Participants who serve as directors,
officers or 10%  stockholders of the Company are advised to consult with counsel
as to the  applicability  of Section 16 of the 1934 Act which may  restrict  the
sale of Common  Stock where  acquired  under the Plan,  or other sales of Common
Stock.  In addition,  directors and officers of the Bank may be restricted  from
transferring  shares  purchased  in the  Conversion  for a period of one year in
accordance with regulations of the Office of Thrift Supervision.

         Persons  who are  not  deemed  to be  "affiliates"  of the  Bank or the
Company at the time of resale will be free to resell any shares of Common  Stock
received by them under the Plan, either publicly or privately, without regard to
the Registration and Prospectus  delivery  requirements of the Securities Act or
compliance with the restrictions and conditions contained in the exemptive rules
thereunder. An "affiliate" is someone who directly or indirectly, through one or
more  intermediaries,  controls,  is controlled by, or is under common  control,
with the Bank or the Company.  Normally, a director,  principal officer or major
shareholder  of a  corporation  may  be  deemed  to be  an  "affiliate  of  that
corporation. A person who may be deemed an "affiliate" at the time of a proposed
resale  will be  permitted  to make  public  resales  of the  Common  Stock only
pursuant to a "reoffer"  prospectus or in accordance with the  restrictions  and
conditions  contained  in Rule 144.  Such sales may be made only though  brokers
without  solicitation  and only at a time when the  Company is current in filing
the reports required of it under the 1934 Act.

SEC Reporting and Short-Swing Liability

         Section 16 of the 1934 Act imposes reporting and liability requirements
on officers, directors, and persons beneficially owning more than ten percent of
the stock of public  companies,  such as the Company.  Section 16(a) of the 1934
Act requires the filing of reports of beneficial  ownership.  Within ten days of
becoming a person subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a), a Form
3 reporting initial  beneficial  ownership must be filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission ("SEC").  Certain changes in beneficial  ownership,  such as
purchases,  sales, gifts, and participation in savings and retirement plans must
be  reported  periodically,  either on a Form 4 within ten days after the end of
the month in which a change occurs, or annually on a Form 5 within 45 days after
the close of the Company's fiscal year. Participation in the Employer Stock Fund
of the Plan by officers,  directors,  and persons  beneficially owning more than
ten  percent of the Common  Stock of the  Company  must be  reported  to the SEC
annually on a Form 5 by such individuals.

         In addition to the  reporting  requirements  described  above,  Section
16(b) of the 1934 Act  provides  for the  recovery  by the  Company  of  profits
realized by any officer,  director,  or any person beneficially owning more than
ten percent of the Common Stock  ("Section  16(b)  Persons")  resulting from the
purchase and sale or sale and purchase of the Common Stock within any  six-month
period.  The SEC has  adopted  rules  that  provide  exemption  from the  profit
recovery provisions of Section 16(b) for participant- directed employer security
transactions within an employee benefit plan, such as the Plan, provided certain
requirements are met. These requirements generally involve restrictions upon the
timing of  elections  to  acquire  or dispose  of  employer  securities  for the
accounts of Section 16(b) Persons.  Except for distributions of Common Stock due
to death, disability, retirement, termination of employment, or

                                       17

<PAGE>



under a  qualified  domestic  relations  order,  under the Plan,  Section  16(b)
Persons are required to hold shares of Common Stock  distributed  for six months
after receiving such a distribution.

1.       Instructions.
         -------------

         In connection with the proposed  Conversion of the Peoples Savings Bank
("Bank") from a federally chartered mutual savings bank to a federally chartered
stock savings bank (the "Conversion"),  the Bank has adopted the Peoples Savings
Bank Employees' Savings & Profit Sharing Plan ("Plan") to permit Participants to
direct  all,  or a portion,  of the  assets  attributable  to their  Participant
Account into a new fund: the Employer Stock Fund. The assets  attributable  to a
Participant's  Account  under  the  Plan  transferred  at the  direction  of the
Participant  into the  Employer  Stock Fund will be used to  purchase  shares of
common stock (the "Common Stock") of Farnsworth Bancorp,  Inc. ("Company") to be
issued in the initial stock offering of the Company.

         To direct a  transfer  of all or a part of the funds  credited  to your
Accounts to the Employer Stock Fund, you should complete and file this form with
Gary N. Pelehaty, at 789 Farnsworth Avenue,  Bordentown,  New Jersey, 08505, who
will retain this form and return a copy to you.  If you need any  assistance  in
completing this form, please contact Gary N. Pelehaty at (609) 298-0723.  If you
do not complete  and return this form to the Plan  Administrator  by __________,
1998, at 12:00 p.m.,  the funds  credited to your Accounts under the  Plan  will
continue to be invested in accordance with your prior investment  direction,  or
in  accordance  with the terms of the Plan if no  investment  direction has been
provided.

2.       Investment Directions.
         ----------------------

         As a Participant in the Plan, I hereby  voluntarily elect to direct the
Trustee of the Plan to invest the below  indicated  dollar sum of my Participant
Account balance under the Plan as indicated below.

         I hereby  voluntarily  elect and  request to direct  investment  of the
below indicated  dollar amount of my Participant  Account funds for the purchase
of the Common  Stock to be issued in the Bank's  mutual-to-stock  Conversion  as
indicated  below (minimum  investment of $250.00;  rounded to the nearest $10.00
increment;  maximum  investment  permissible is 6,000 shares of the Common Stock
being  offered  or  $60,000):  $___________.  Enter  your $ level  of  requested
purchase  through the Plan.  Such  amount does not exceed the vested  portion of
assets held under the Plan for the underlying Participant.


<PAGE>



Please note that the actual  number of shares of Common Stock  purchased on your
behalf under the Plan may be limited or reduced in  accordance  with the Plan of
Stock  Conversion  of the Bank based  upon the total  number of shares of Common
Stock subscribed for by other parties.

         All other  funds in my  Participant  Account  will  remain  invested as
previously  requested.  All future contributions under the Plan will continue to
be invested as previously requested.

3.       Acknowledgement.
         ----------------

         I fully  understand that this  self-directed  portion of my Participant
Account  does  not  share  in the  overall  net  earnings,  gains,  losses,  and
appreciation  or  depreciation  in the value of assets held by the Plan's  other
investment funds, but only in my Account's  allocable portion of such items from
the Directed  Investment Account invested in the Common Stock. I understand that
the  Plan's  Trustee,  in  complying  with this  election  and in  following  my
directions for the investment of my Account, is not responsible or liable in any
way for the  expenses  or  losses  that may be  incurred  by my  Account  assets
invested in Common Stock under the Employer Stock Fund.

         I  further   understand  that  this  one  time  election  shall  become
irrevocable  by  me  upon  execution  and  submission of this  Investment  Form.
Only properly  signed forms  delivered  to the Plan  Trustee on or before  ____,

         The undersigned  Participant  acknowledges  that he or she has received
and read the Prospectus of the Farnsworth  Bancorp,  Inc.,  dated June 12, 1998,
the Prospectus  Supplement  dated June 12, 1998,  regarding the Peoples  Savings
Bank  Employees'  Savings & Profit  Sharing Plan and Trust as adopted by Peoples
Savings Bank and this Investment Form. The undersigned hereby  acknowledges that
the shares of Common  Stock to be  purchased  with the funds noted above are not
savings  accounts  or  deposits  and  are not  insured  by the  Federal  Deposit
Insurance Corporation, the Bank Insurance Fund, the Savings Bank Insurance Fund,
or any other  governmental  agency.  Investment in such Common Stock will expose
the undersigned to the investment risks and potential fluctuations in the market
price of such Common Stock.  Such  investment in the Common Stock does not offer

Plus Asset  Allocation Fund,  Growth and Income Asset  Allocation  Fund,  Growth
Asset Allocation Fund, and/or Farnsworth Bancorp,  Inc. Stock Fund, for a period
of three months may be  transferred to the Money Market Fund upon the submission

satisfied the equity wash requirement  described above. Such amounts will remain
in either the S&P 500 Stock Fund, S&P MidCap Stock Fund,  Government  Bond Fund,
International  Stock Fund,  Income Plus Asset Allocation Fund, Growth and Income
Asset Allocation Fund, Growth Asset Allocation Fund, and/or Farnsworth  Bancorp,
Inc.  Stock Fund and a separate  direction to transfer  them to the Money Market

the  Participants'  requests during the  Conversion,  the Common Stock purchased
would be apportioned  and additional  Common Stock will be purchased in the open
market  (at  prices  which  may  be  higher  than  the  purchase  price  in  the

         opportunity  to  become  a  stockholder  of our  newly  formed  holding
         company, Farnsworth Bancorp, Inc. Stockholders will share indirectly in
         our future as a federal  stock savings  bank.  The stock  offering will
         increase  our capital and funds for lending and  investment  activities
         and  for  expanding  our  operations.  As a stock  savings  institution
         operating  through a holding  company  structure,  we will have greater
         flexibility for investments.
    

Q:       How do I purchase the stock?

A:       You must complete and return the stock order form to us (no copies will
         be accepted) together with your full payment,  on or before 12:00 noon,
         Eastern  time,  __________,  __________,  1998.  If we do  not  receive
         sufficient  orders by that time,  the  offering  may be extended  until
         ________ ____, 1998.

Q:       How much stock may I purchase?

A:       The minimum purchase is 25 shares or $250. The maximum purchase for any
         person or persons ordering through a single account, or for any person,
         associate  or group of persons  acting in  concert  is 6,000  shares or
         $60,000 of stock sold in the  conversion.  We may  decrease or increase
         the maximum  purchase  limitation  without  notifying you. In the event
         that the offering is oversubscribed, there will not be enough shares to
         fill all orders.

Q:       What happens if there are not enough shares to fill all orders?

A:       You might not receive any or all of the shares you  want  to  purchase.
         If there is an oversubscription in the subscription offering, the stock

               with us on December 31, 1996.

          o    Priority 2 - Tax Qualified  Employee  Plans (the  employee  stock

          o    Priority 3 - Persons who had a deposit account of at least $50.00
               with us on June 30, 1998.

               the plan of conversion.

If the above  persons do not  subscribe  for all of the  shares,  the  remaining
shares  may be  offered,  with  the  help of Ryan,  Beck & Co.,  in a  community
offering  or a  syndicated  community  offering.  In the  event  of a  community
offering,  we will give a preference to natural persons who reside in Burlington
County,  New Jersey.  In a  syndicated  community  offering,  we would offer any

Q:       What particular factors should I consider when deciding whether to  buy
         the stock?

A:       Since the common  stock is  expected  to be listed on the  OTC-Bulletin
         Board,  an active and liquid  market for the stock may not develop and,
         even if developed,  may not be  maintained.  This may make it difficult
         for you to resell the shares you purchase.  Also,  before you decide to
         purchase stock,  you should read this  prospectus,  including the "Risk
         Factors" section on pages ____-____.

Q:       As a depositor or borrower member of Peoples  Savings  Bank, what  will
         happen if I do not purchase any stock?

A:       You  presently  have  voting  rights  since we are in the mutual  form;
         however,  once we  convert,  voting  rights  will  be held  only by the
         stockholders.  You are not  required to purchase  stock.  Your  deposit
         accounts,  certificate accounts and any loans you may have with us will
         not be affected by the conversion.

Q:       Who can help answer any other questions I  may  have  about  the  stock
         offering?

A:       If you have any questions you should contact:

The Companies
                            Farnsworth Bancorp, Inc.
                              789 Farnsworth Avenue

         Farnsworth  Bancorp,  Inc.  is not an  operating  company  and  has not
engaged in any significant  business to date. It was formed in May 1998 as a New
Jersey-chartered corporation to be the holding company for Peoples Savings Bank.
The holding  company  structure  will provide  greater  flexibility  in terms of
operations, expansion and diversification. See page __________.

                              Peoples Savings Bank
                              789 Farnsworth Avenue
                          Bordentown, New Jersey 08505
                                 (609) 298-0723

         Peoples Savings Bank was originally chartered in 1880 as The Bordentown
Building and Loan Association.  In 1965 we merged with Peoples Building and Loan
Association  and became  Bordentown  Peoples  Savings and Loan  Association.  We
acquired Florence Township Savings and Loan Association and Beverly Building and
Loan  Association  in 1985  and  1989,  respectively.  The  Beverly  branch  was
subsequently  closed in 1994.  In 1995,  we changed our name to Peoples  Savings
Bank, SLA. In 1996 we converted from a state-chartered  mutual savings bank to a
federally-chartered  mutual savings bank, and  concurrently  changed our name to
Peoples Savings Bank.

   
         We are a community and  customer-oriented  federal  mutual savings bank
with two branch  offices  located in  Burlington  County.  We provide  financial
services to individuals,  families and small businesses.  Historically,  we have
emphasized   residential   mortgage  lending,   primarily   originating   one-to
four-family  mortgage  loans.  At March 31,  1998,  we had total assets of $38.7
million, deposits of $36.1 million, and retained earnings of ^ $2.3 million. See
pages ________ to ________.
    

The Stock Offering

   
         We are offering  between  352,750 and 477,250 shares of common stock at
$10.00 per share. We may increase the offering to 548,838 shares without further
notice  to you.  We would  do this for two  reasons:  changes  in our  financial
condition or market conditions that occur before we complete the conversion;  or
to fill the order ^ for our employee  stock  ownership  plan.  Any increase over
548,838  shares would  require the approval of the Office of Thrift  Supervision
(the "OTS").  If we do increase the size of the offering ^ up to 548,838 shares,
you may not change or cancel any stock order previously delivered to us.

Stock Purchases

         The shares of common stock will be offered on the basis of  priorities.
If you are a depositor or borrower member, you will receive  subscription rights
to  purchase  the  shares.  The  shares  will be offered  first to persons  with
subscription rights in a subscription  offering, and any remaining shares may be
offered in a community  offering  and/or a syndicated  community  offering.  See
pages ________ to __________.

Subscription Rights

         You may not sell or assign your  subscription  rights.  Any transfer of
subscription  rights is illegal and will result in a loss of subscription rights
and possibly other sanctions.

The Offering Range and Determination of the Price Per Share

         The  offering  range  is  based  on an  independent  appraisal  of  the
estimated  market value of the common stock by FinPro,  Inc., an appraisal  firm
experienced in appraisals of savings  institutions.  FinPro,  Inc. has estimated
that in its opinion as of June 12, 1998,  the estimated  valuation  range of the
common  stock  was  between  $3,527,500  and  $4,772,500  (with  a  midpoint  of
$4,150,000). The estimated valuation range of the shares is our estimated market
value after giving effect to the sale of shares in this offering.

         The  appraisal  was  based  both  upon  our  financial   condition  and
operations and upon the effect of the  additional  capital we will raise in this
offering.  The $10.00 price per share was  determined by our board of directors.
It is the price most commonly used in stock offerings  involving  conversions of
mutual savings institutions. The independent appraisal will be updated before we
complete the  conversion.  If the estimated  market value of the common stock is
either below $3,527,500 or above $5,488,380,  you will be notified and will have
the  opportunity  to  modify  or  cancel  your  order.  See  pages  ________  to
__________.

Termination of the Offering

         The subscription  offering will terminate at 12:00 noon,  Eastern Time,
on ________ ____, 1998. Any community offering or syndicated  community offering
may terminate at any time without notice, but no later than ________ ____, 1998,
without approval by the OTS.

Benefits to Management from the Offering

         Our  employees  will  participate  in the offering  through  individual
purchases and through  purchases of stock by our employee stock  ownership plan,
which is a type of  retirement  plan.  We also intend to  implement a restricted
stock plan and a stock option plan,  which may benefit the  President  and other
officers and directors.  If we adopt the restricted stock plan, our officers and
directors will be awarded stock at no cost to them.  The  restricted  stock plan
and stock  option  plan may not be adopted  until after the  conversion  and are
subject to stockholder approval and compliance with OTS regulations.

Use of the Proceeds Raised from the Sale of Common Stock

         Approximately  75% of the net  proceeds the Company  receives  from the
sale of its common  stock  will be  contributed  to the Bank as payment  for our
stock. Part of the Company's remaining funds will be loaned to the bank employee
stock  ownership  plan to fund  its  purchase  of 8% of the  shares  sold in the
conversion.   Remaining   proceeds  will   initially  be  placed  in  short-term
investments.  These  funds may later be used for  stock  repurchases  or for the
payment of dividends.

   
         The funds the Bank  receives  from the sale of our stock to the Company
will increase our capital for future lending and investment. In the ^ future, we
also  plan  to use a  portion  of the  proceeds  to  expand  our  operations  by
establishing a new branch office.  A portion of the funds we receive may be used
for the  purchase of up to 4% of the shares  offered in the  conversion  for the
restricted stock plan which is expected to be adopted following the conversion.
    
See page __________.

Dividends

         Farnsworth Bancorp, Inc. does not initially expect to pay dividends. We
may, however, at a later time establish a dividend policy. See page __________.

Market for the Common Stock

         It is expected that our common stock will be quoted on the OTC-Bulletin
Board.  An active and liquid  trading  market,  however,  may not  develop or be
maintained.  Investors  should  have  a  long-term  investment  intent.  Persons
purchasing  shares may not be able to sell their shares when they desire or sell
them at a price equal to or above $10.00. Ryan, Beck & Co. is expected to make a
market in the common stock.  Ryan, Beck & Co. will,  however,  not be subject to
any obligation with respect to such efforts. See page __________.


Important Risks in Owning Farnsworth Bancorp, Inc.'s Common Stock

         Before you decide to purchase  stock in the  offering,  you should read
the "Risk Factors" section on pages ____ -____ of this document.

           MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

Comparison of Financial Condition at June 30, 1998 and September 30, 1997

         Total assets  increased by $2.13  million or 5.66% due  primarily to an
increase  in   loans  receivable  of  $3.60  million,  offset  by  decreases  in
investment and mortgage-backed  securities. The increase in loans receivable was
due to  increased  deposits.  The  decrease in  mortgage-backed  securities  and
investment securities was due to maturities and repayments of principle.

         Deposits,  after interest  credited,  increased $1.85 million,  in part
attributable  to  increased  print  and  radio  advertising.  Retained  earnings
increased $182,000 as a result of net earnings during the period.

Comparison of Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended June 30, 1998

         Net Income.  Net income  decreased by $8,000 for the three months ended
June 30, 1998,  as compared to the same three months of fiscal 1997.  Net income
for this three month period was reduced  primarily as a result of an increase in
compensation  and other expenses,  partially  offset by an increase in loan fees
and a decrease in our provision for income taxes.

         Net Interest  Income.  Net  interest  income  increased  $15,000 due to
increased mortgage loan originations.  Interest expense decreased $22,000 due to
repayment of borrowed  funds and a reduction  in our average cost of  additional
deposits due to lower market interest rates.

         Noninterest  Income.  Noninterest  income  increased by $15,000 for the
three months ended June 30,  1998,  compared to the same period in 1997,  due to
increased fees from incrased loan originations.

         Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense increased by $42,000 or 16.50%
for the three  months  ended June 30, 1998 from  $271,000 for the same period in
1997. This increase was  attributable to a $13,000  increase in expenses related
to compensation and employee benefits which in turn was a result of general cost
of living and merit raises for our employees.  Other  expenses,  the significant
components  of which  were  bank  charges,  office  supplies  and  miscellaneous
expenses, also increased by $30,000, .

         Management   believes  that  compensation  and  benefit  expenses  will
increase  in future  periods as a result of the  adoption  of the ESOP and other
stock benefit plans, if adopted.  Furthermore, we anticipate that other expenses
will  increase  as a  result  of  the  costs  associated  with  being  a  public
institution.

Comparison of Results of Operations  for the Nine Months Ended June 30, 1998 and
1997

         Net Income.  Net income  increased by $44,000 for the nine months ended
June 30, 1998, as compared to the same nine months of fiscal 1997. This increase
was due to  increased  net interest  income and  noninterest  income,  partially
offset by increases in noninterest expenses and loan loss provisions.

         Net Interest  Income.  Net interest income increased by $96,000 for the
nine months ended June 30,  1998,  as compared to the same nine months of fiscal
1997,  due to an  increase in  interest-earning  assets and the  replacement  of
higher interest rate borrowings with deposits at lower interest rates.

         Noninterest Expense.  Noninterest expense increased by $54,000 or 6.55%
for the nine months  ended June 30, 1998,  from  $837,000 for the same period in
1997. This increase was due to a $12,000  increase in compensation  and employee
benefits-related  expenses.  Other expenses (bank charges,  office  supplies and
miscellaneous expenses) also increased by $42,000.

         Noninterest  Income.  Noninterest income increased $69,000 for the nine
months  ended June 30,  1998,  as compared to the same period in 1997.  This was
primarily  due to the  collection  of a  deficiency  judgment  in the  amount of
$54,000.

         Provision for Loan Losses.  Our ratio of  nonperforming  loans to total
assets was 0.32% at June 30, 1998.  The  provision for loans losses for the nine
months ended June 30, 1998  increased from $7,000 for the nine months ended June
30, 1997, to $64,000, due to management's  determination that a higher allowance
for loan losses was  necessary  to protect  our  ability to absorb  losses as we
diversified  our  portfolio  and assumed more credit  risk. ^ See  "Management's
Discussion  and Analysis -- Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended March
31, 1998 and 1997 -- Provision for Loan Losses."

         Provision for Incomes Taxes.  The provision for income taxes  increased
during the nine month period due to increased earnings.

                                  RISK FACTORS

         In  addition  to the other  information  in this  document,  you should
consider carefully the following risk factors in evaluating an investment in our
common stock.

Potential  Impact of Changes in  Interest  Rates and the Current  Interest  Rate
Environment

         Our  ability  to make a  profit  largely  depends  on our net  interest
income.  Net  interest  income  is the  difference  between  what we earn on our
interest-earning  assets (such as mortgage loans and investment  securities) and
what  we  pay  on  our  interest-bearing   liabilities  (such  as  deposits  and
borrowings).  Most of our  mortgage  loans have fixed rates of interest  and are
generally  originated with terms of up to 30 years,  while our deposit  accounts
have significantly  shorter terms to maturity. As a result, our interest-earning
assets have longer effective maturities than our  interest-bearing  liabilities,
which results in the yield on our  interest-earning  assets generally  adjusting
more slowly to changes in interest  rates than the cost of our  interest-bearing
liabilities.  Our net interest income,  therefore, will be adversely affected by
material and prolonged increases in interest rates. In addition, rising interest
rates may result in a lack of customer  demand for loans,  which would adversely
affect  our   earnings.   See   "Management's   Discussion   and   Analysis   --
Asset/Liability Management."

         Changes in interest rates can also affect the average life of loans and
mortgage-backed  securities.  Historically  a reduction  in  interest  rates has
resulted in increased  prepayments of loans and mortgage-backed  securities,  as
borrowers  refinanced  their  mortgages in order to reduce their borrowing cost.
Under these  circumstances,  we are subject to  reinvestment  risk to the extent
that we are not able to reinvest such  prepayments at rates which are comparable
to the rates on the prepaid loans or securities.

         Changes in interest  rates also can affect the value of our  investment
and mortgage-backed securities and our ability to realize gains from the sale of
those assets which are classified as available- for-sale.  Generally,  the value
of fixed-rate  instruments  fluctuates inversely with changes in interest rates.
Increases in interest rates usually result in decreases in the carrying value of
interest-earning assets which are classified as available-for-sale,  which would
adversely affect our results of operations if sold, or  stockholders'  equity if
retained  by the  Company  as a result  of  Statement  of  Financial  Accounting
Standards No. 115.

Decreased  Return on Average  Equity and Increased  Expenses  Immediately  After
Conversion

         As a result of the conversion,  our equity will increase substantially.
We anticipate that it will take time to prudently deploy the capital raised from
the offering.  Our expenses will increase  because of the costs  associated with
our employee stock ownership plan, restricted stock plan, and the costs of being
a public company.  We do not know if we will receive  sufficient other income to
offset  these  additional  costs.  Because  of the  increases  in our equity and
expenses,  our return on equity may decrease as compared to our  performance  in
previous years. A lower return on equity could limit the trading price potential
of the common stock. Moreover, we initially intend to invest the net proceeds in
short-term  investments  which  generally  have lower  yields  than  residential
mortgage loans. For 1997 our return on retained  earnings was 9.98%. See "Use of
Proceeds."

Lack of Active Market for Common Stock

         Due to the small size of the  offering,  it is unlikely  that an active
trading  market  will  develop or be  maintained.  If an active  market does not
develop, you may not be able to sell your shares promptly or at a price equal to
or above  the  price you paid for them.  It is  anticipated  that the  Company's
common  stock  will  be  traded  in the  over-the-counter  ("OTC")  market  with
quotations available through the OTC- Bulletin Board. See "Market for the Common
Stock."

Anti-Takeover  Provisions and Statutory Provisions That Could Discourage Hostile
Acquisitions of Control

         Provisions in the Company's  certificate of  incorporation  and bylaws,
the general  corporation code of New Jersey, and certain federal regulations may
make it  difficult  for someone to pursue a tender  offer,  change in control or
takeover  attempt  which is opposed by our  management  and board of  directors.
These  provisions  include:  restrictions  on the  acquisition  of the Company's
equity  securities and limitations on voting rights;  the  classification of the
terms of the members of the board of directors;  certain provisions  relating to
meetings of  stockholders;  denial of cumulative  voting to  stockholders in the
election of  directors;  the  ability to issue  preferred  stock and  additional
shares  of  common  stock  without  shareholder  approval;  and  super  majority
provisions  for the  approval  of certain  business  combinations.  As a result,
stockholders  who might desire to participate in such a transaction may not have
an  opportunity  to do so. Such  provisions  will also render the removal of the
current  board of directors or  management  of the Company  more  difficult.  In
addition,  the effect of these  provisions  could be to limit the trading  price
potential of our stock. See "Restrictions on Acquisition of Farnsworth  Bancorp,
Inc."

Possible Voting Control by Directors and Officers

         Our officers and directors intend to purchase approximately 9.8% of the
common stock offered in the  conversion  based on the sale of 415,000  shares at
the midpoint of the estimated valuation range. These purchases together with the
purchase  of  shares  by our  employee  stock  ownership  plan,  as  well as the
potential  acquisition  of  common  stock  through  the  stock  option  plan and
restricted  stock plan,  could make it  difficult  for a  stockholder  to obtain
majority  support for stockholder  proposals which are opposed by our management
and board of directors.  In addition, the voting of those shares could block the
approval of  transactions  (i.e.,  business  combinations  and amendments to our
articles of  incorporation  and  bylaws)  requiring  the  approval of 80% of the
stockholders  under the  Company's  articles  of  incorporation.  See  "Proposed
Purchases by Directors and  Officers,"  "Management  of Peoples  Savings Bank --
Executive  Compensation,"  "Description of Capital Stock," and  "Restrictions on
Acquisition of Farnsworth Bancorp, Inc."

Possible Dilutive Effect of Restricted Stock Plan and Stock Options

         Upon  completion  of the  conversion,  shareholders  will be  asked  to
approve the  restricted  stock plan and stock option plan. If approved,  we will
issue stock and options to purchase stock to our officers and directors  through
these plans.  If the shares for the restricted  stock plan and stock options are
issued from our  authorized  but unissued  stock,  your voting  interests may be
diluted by up to  approximately  12.3%.  See "Pro Forma  Data,"  "Management  of
Peoples Savings Bank -- Proposed Future Stock Benefit Plans," and "-- Restricted
Stock Plan."

Financial Institution Regulation and Future of the Thrift Industry

         We are subject to extensive regulation, supervision, and examination by
the OTS and the Federal Deposit Insurance  Corporation (the "FDIC").  Bills have
been  introduced  in Congress  that could  curtail the powers of unitary  thrift
holding companies.  Other legislation has been considered that would consolidate
the OTS with the Office of the  Comptroller of the Currency  ("OCC") and require
us to adopt a  commercial  bank  charter.  If we become a commercial  bank,  our
investment  authority  and the ability of the  Company to engage in  diversified
activities  may  be  limited,   which  could  adversely  affect  our  value  and
profitability. See "Regulation."

Restrictions on Repurchase of Shares

         Generally,  during the first year following the conversion, the Company
may not  repurchase  its  shares.  During  each of the  second  and third  years
following the conversion, the Company may repurchase up to 5% of its outstanding
shares.  During those periods,  even if we believe that  additional  repurchases
would be a prudent  use of funds,  we would not be able to do so  without  first
obtaining OTS approval.  There is no assurance that OTS approval would be given.
See "The Conversion -- Restrictions on Repurchase of Shares."

Possible Year 2000 Computer Problems

         A great deal of information has been disseminated  about the widespread
computer  problems that may arise in the year 2000.  Computer  programs that can
only distinguish the final two digits of the year entered (a common  programming
practice in earlier years) are expected to read entries for the year 2000 as the
year 1900 and compute payment,  interest or delinquency  based on the wrong date
or are expected to be unable to compute payment, interest or delinquency.  Rapid
and accurate data  processing  is essential to the  operation of the Bank.  Data
processing is also essential to most other financial institutions and many other
companies.

   
         All our material  data  processing  that could be affected by ^the year
2000 issue  described  above is provided by a third party  service  bureau.  The
service  bureau used by the Bank has advised us that ^ their  computer  services
will function properly on and after January 1, 2000.  Additional  testing of the
system is scheduled for August 1998. The service bureau has advised us that they
will keep us apprised of the results of the testing.  We are also in the process
of upgrading our teller  equipment to be Year 2000  compliant and we expect this
upgrade to be  completed by the fourth  quarter of 1998.  We do not believe that
the costs of year 2000  compliance  will have a material  adverse  effect on our
financial  condition  or  results  of  operations.  If by the  end of 1998 ^ our
primary data processing service bureau ^has encountered  unforseen problems and,
as a result, will not be year 2000 compliant within the necessary timeframe,  we
will seek a secondary data processing  service provider to complete the task. If
we are unable to do this, we will identify those steps necessary to minimize the
negative impact the computer  problems could have on us. ^ Any delays,  mistakes
or failures^  resulting from failure of our data processing  service provider to
be year 2000 compliant could have a significant  adverse impact on our financial
condition and results of operations.  See "Management's  Discussion and Analysis
- -- Year 2000 Issues."

                  PROPOSED PURCHASES BY DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

         The  following  table sets forth the  approximate  purchases  of common
stock by each  director  and  executive  officer  and  their  associates  in the
conversion. Shares purchased by officers and directors in the conversion may not
be sold for at least one year.  The  table  assumes  that  415,000  shares  (the
midpoint of the estimated  valuation  range) of the common stock will be sold at
$10.00  per  share and that  sufficient  shares  will be  available  to  satisfy
subscriptions in all categories.

(1)  Does not include shares purchased by the employee stock ownership plan (the
     "ESOP").



                                 USE OF PROCEEDS

   
         The Company will contribute  approximately 75% of the net proceeds from
the offering to the Bank as payment for our stock. A portion of the net proceeds
to be retained by the Company  will be loaned to our  employee  stock  ownership
plan to fund its purchase of 8% of the shares sold in the  conversion.  See "Pro
Forma  Data." The  balance of the net  proceeds  retained  by the  Company  will
initially be placed in short-term investments. These remaining proceeds may also
serve as a source of funds for the payment of dividends to  stockholders  or for
the repurchase of the shares.^  Federal  regulations  prohibit the repurchase of
stock in the first year following conversion without OTS  approval.  ^Currently,
we have no plans, arrangements or understandings regarding a stock repurchase.

         The  funds  contributed  to the  Bank by the  Company  will be used for
general corporate purposes including: (i) originating and purchasing loans, (ii)
investment in U.S. government and federal agency securities, or (iii) investment
in mortgage-backed  securities.  Initially, we intend to invest the net proceeds
in short- and medium-term investments such as mortgage-backed securities,  until
we can deploy the proceeds into higher yielding assets such as loans.  The funds
added to our capital will also strengthen our capital position.  We may also use
some  of our net  proceeds  to  fund  the  purchase  of 4% of the  shares  for a
restricted  stock plan (the "RSP") which is anticipated to be adopted  following
the  conversion.  See "Pro  Forma  Data." In the near  future,  we plan to use a
portion of the proceeds to expand our  operations by  establishing  a new branch
office.
    

                                       17

<PAGE>




   
         The net proceeds may vary because the total  expenses of the conversion
may be more or less than those estimated. We expect our estimated expenses to be
approximately  $330,000 even if the maximum of the estimated  valuation range is
increased  to up to  $5,488,380.  Our  estimated  net  proceeds  will range from
$3,198,000  to  $4,443,000  (or up to $5,158,000 in the event the maximum of the
estimated valuation range is increased to $5,488,380). See "Pro Forma Data." The
net proceeds will also vary if expenses are different or if the number of shares
to be issued in the  conversion is adjusted to reflect a change in our estimated
valuation  range.  Payments for shares made through  withdrawals  from  existing
deposit  accounts  with us will not  result  in the  receipt  of new  funds  for
investment by us but will result in a reduction of our  liabilities and interest
expense as funds are  transferred  from  interest-bearing  certificates or other
deposit accounts.
    
                                    DIVIDENDS

         Upon  conversion,  the  Company's  board  of  directors  will  have the
authority  to  declare  dividends  on  the  shares,  subject  to  statutory  and
regulatory requirements.  The Company, however, does not expect initially to pay
cash  dividends.  Any  declaration  of dividends by the board of directors  will
depend upon a number of factors,  including:  (i) the amount of the net proceeds
retained  by  the  Company  in the  conversion,  (ii)  investment  opportunities
available, (iii) capital requirements,  (iv) regulatory limitations, (v) results
of  operations  and  financial  condition,  (vi) tax  considerations,  and (vii)
general economic conditions.  Upon review of such considerations,  the board may
authorize  future  dividends  if  it  deems  such  payment  appropriate  and  in
compliance  with  applicable  law  and  regulation.  For a  period  of one  year
following  the  completion  of the  conversion,  we do  not  intend  to pay  any
extraordinary  dividends  that would be treated for tax  purposes as a return of
capital or take any actions to pursue or propose  such  dividends.  In addition,
there can be no assurance that regular or special dividends will be paid, or, if
paid,  will  continue  to  be  paid.  See  "Historical  and  Pro  Forma  Capital
Compliance",  "The  Conversion  --  Effects  of  Conversion  to  Stock  Form  on
Depositors  and  Borrowers of Peoples  Savings Bank  --Liquidation  Account" and
"Regulation -- Dividend and Other Capital Distribution Limitations."

         The  Company  is not  subject  to OTS  regulatory  restrictions  on the
payment of dividends to its  stockholders  although the source of such dividends
will be  dependent  in part upon the  receipt of  dividends  from the Bank.  The
Company is  subject,  however,  to the  requirements  of New Jersey  law,  which
generally  requires that  dividends not be paid if it would cause the Company to
be unable to pay its debts as they become due in the usual course of business or
if, after paying the dividend, the Company's total assets would be less than its
total liabilities.

         In addition to the  foregoing,  the portion of our  earnings  which has
been  appropriated  for bad debt  reserves and  deducted for federal  income tax
purposes  cannot be used by us to pay cash dividends to the Company  without the
payment of federal income taxes by us at the then current income tax rate on the
amount deemed distributed,  which would include the amount of any federal income
taxes  attributable to the distribution.  See "Taxation -- Federal Taxation" and
Note 11 to our financial statements. We do not contemplate any distribution that
would result in a recapture of the bad debt reserve or otherwise  create federal
tax liabilities.

                           MARKET FOR THE COMMON STOCK

         As a newly organized corporation,  the Company has never issued capital
stock, and consequently  there is no established market for the common stock. It
is  expected   that  the   Company's   common   stock  will  be  traded  in  the
over-the-counter   ("OTC")  market  with   quotations   available   through  the
OTC-Bulletin  Board. Ryan, Beck & Co. is expected to make a market in the common
stock.  Making a market may include the  solicitation  of  potential  buyers and
sellers in order to match buy and sell orders.  Ryan, Beck & Co., however,  will
not be subject to any  obligation  with respect to such  efforts.  If the common
stock  cannot be traded  on the  OTC-Bulletin  Board,  it is  expected  that the
transactions  in the common  stock will be  reported  in the pink  sheets of the
National Quotation Bureau, Inc.

         The development of an active trading market depends on the existence of
willing  buyers and sellers.  Due to the small size of the  offering,  an active
trading market in our common stock may not develop or be  maintained.  You could
have  difficulty  disposing of your shares and so you should not view the shares
as a short-term  investment.  You may not be able to sell your shares at a price
equal to or above the price you paid for the shares.

(1)  Excludes  accrued  interest  payable on deposits.  Withdrawals from savings
     accounts  for the  purchase  of  stock  have not  been  reflected  in these
     adjustments.  Any withdrawals will reduce pro forma  capitalization  by the
     amount of such withdrawals.
(2)  Does not reflect the increase in the number of shares of common stock after
     the  conversion in the event of  implementation  of the Option Plan or RSP.
     See  "Management  of Peoples  Savings Bank - Proposed  Future Stock Benefit
     Plans -- Stock Option Plan" and "-- Restricted Stock Plan."
(3)  Assumes  that 8% and 4% of the  shares  issued  in the  conversion  will be
     purchased by the ESOP and RSP, respectively. No shares will be purchased by
     the RSP in the conversion.  It is assumed on a pro forma basis that the RSP
     will be adopted by the board of directors,  approved by stockholders of the
     Company,  and approved by the OTS. It is assumed that the RSP will purchase
     common stock at $10.00 per share in the open market  within one year of the
     conversion in order to give an indication of its effect on  capitalization.
     The pro forma  presentation  does not show the impact  of:  (a)  results of
     operations  after the  conversion,  (b) changing market prices of shares of
     common stock after the conversion, or (c) a smaller than 4% purchase by the
     RSP.  Assumes  that the  funds  used to  acquire  the ESOP  shares  will be
     borrowed  from  the  Company  for a ten  year  term  at the  prime  rate as
     published in The Wall Street Journal.  For an estimate of the impact of the
     ESOP  on  earnings,  see  "Pro  Forma  Data."  The  Bank  intends  to  make
     contributions  to the ESOP sufficient to service and ultimately  retire its
     debt.  The  amount to be  acquired  by the ESOP and RSP is  reflected  as a
     reduction  from  stockholders'  equity.  The  issuance  of  authorized  but
     unissued  shares  for the RSP in an amount  equal to 4% of the  outstanding
     shares  of  common  stock  will  have  the  effect  of  diluting   existing
     stockholders'   interests  by  4.32%.   There  can  be  no  assurance  that
     stockholder  approval  of the RSP  will be  obtained.  See  "Management  of
     Peoples  Savings Bank -- Proposed Future Stock Benefit Plans - - Restricted
     Stock Plan."
(4)  Includes   retained   earnings   and   unrealized   gains  and   losses  on
     available-for-sale securities, net of taxes. The equity of the Bank will be
     substantially restricted after the conversion. See "Dividends," "Regulation
     -- Dividends and Other Capital  Distribution  Limitations," "The Conversion
     -- Effects of  Conversion  to Stock Form on  Depositors  and  Borrowers  of
     Peoples  Savings Bank -- Liquidation  Account" and Note 14 to the Financial
     Statements.

                                 PRO FORMA DATA

         The actual net  proceeds  from the sale of the common  stock  cannot be
determined until the conversion is completed.  However,  investable net proceeds
are  currently  estimated  to be between  $3.2  million and $5.2  million at the
minimum and maximum, as adjusted,  of the estimated valuation range (the "EVR"),
based upon the following  assumptions:  (i) 8% of the shares will be sold to the
ESOP and 38,800 shares will be sold to executive  officers and their associates;
(ii)  Ryan,  Beck & Co.  will  receive a fee of  $125,000,  which  will  include
out-of-pocket  expenses (including legal fees and out-of-pocket expenses of such
counsel)  incurred  by  Ryan,  Beck & Co.;  (iii)  no  shares  will be sold in a
syndicated community offering and (iv) other conversion expenses,  excluding the
fees and  expenses  paid to Ryan,  Beck & Co.,  will be  $205,000.  In addition,
because  management  of the Bank  presently  intends to adopt the RSP within the
first year following the conversion, a purchase by the RSP in the conversion has
been  included  with the pro forma data to give an indication of the effect of a
4% purchase by the RSP at a $10.00 per share purchase price in the market,  even
though the RSP does not currently exist and is prohibited by OTS regulation from
purchasing  shares in the conversion.  The pro forma  presentation does not show
the effect of: (a) results of  operations  after the  conversion,  (b)  changing
market prices of the shares after the conversion, (c) less than a 4% purchase by
the RSP, or (d)  dilutive  effects of newly issued  shares under the  restricted
stock plan and the stock option plan (see footnotes 2 and 4).

         The following  table sets forth our  historical net earnings and equity
prior  to the  conversion  and the  pro  forma  consolidated  net  earnings  and
stockholders'  equity of the Company  following  the  conversion.  Unaudited pro
forma  consolidated  net  earnings and equity have been  calculated  for the six
months ended March 31, 1998 and the fiscal year ended  September  30, 1997 as if
the common stock to be issued in the conversion had been sold at October 1, 1997
and October 1, 1996,  respectively,  and the  estimated  net  proceeds  had been
invested at 5.41%,  which was approximately  equal to the one-year U.S. Treasury
bill rate at March 31, 1998. The one-year U.S.  Treasury bill rate,  rather than
an  arithmetic  average  of the  average  yield on  interest-earning  assets and
average rate paid on deposits,  has been used to estimate income on net proceeds
because it is  believed  that the  one-year  U.S.  Treasury  bill rate is a more
accurate  estimate of the rate that would be obtained  on an  investment  of net
proceeds from the offering.  In calculating pro forma income, an effective state
and federal  income tax rate of 37% has been assumed,  resulting in an after tax
yield of 3.41% for the six months ended March 31, 1998 and the fiscal year ended
September 30, 1997. Withdrawals from deposit accounts for the purchase of shares
are not reflected in the pro forma adjustments.  The computations are based upon
the assumptions  that 352,750 shares (minimum of EVR),  415,000 shares (midpoint
of  EVR),  477,250  shares  (maximum  of EVR) or  548,838  shares  (maximum,  as
adjusted,  of the EVR) are sold at a price of $10.00  per  share.  As  discussed
under "Use of Proceeds," a portion of the net proceeds that the Company receives
will be  loaned  to the ESOP to fund its  anticipated  purchase  of 8% of shares
issued in the  conversion.  It is assumed  that the yield on the net proceeds of
the conversion  retained by the Company will be the same as the yield on the net
proceeds of the conversion transferred to us. Historical and pro forma per share
amounts have been calculated by dividing historical and pro forma amounts by the
indicated  number of shares.  Per share  amounts  have been  computed  as if the
shares had been  outstanding  at the  beginning  of the  periods or at the dates
shown,  but  without  any  adjustment  of per  share  historical  or  pro  forma
stockholders' equity to reflect the earnings on the estimated net proceeds.

- -----------------
(1)  Assumes 8% of the shares sold in the  conversion are purchased by the ESOP,
     and that the funds  used to  purchase  such  shares are  borrowed  from the
     Company.  The approximate amount expected to be borrowed by the ESOP is not
     reflected as a liability  but is  reflected  as a reduction of capital.  We
     intend to make annual  contributions  to the ESOP over a ten year period in
     an amount at least equal to the principal and interest  requirement  of the
     debt.  The pro forma net income  per share  calculation  assumes:  (i) that
     2,822,  3,320,  3,818 and 4,391  weighted  average  shares at the  minimum,
     mid-point,  maximum and maximum,  as adjusted of the EVR, were committed to
     be released  during the year ended  September  30,  1997 and 1,411,  1,660,
     1,909 and 2,195 weighted average shares at the minimum,  midpoint,  maximum
     and maximum as adjusted were committed to be released during the six months
     ended  March 31,  1998,  at an  average  fair  value of $10.00 per share in
     accordance with Statement of Position (SOP) 93-6 of the American  Institute
     of Certified  Public  Accountants  ("AICPA");  (ii) the effective  combined
     federal and state income tax rate was 37% for such  period;  and (iii) only
     the ESOP shares  committed to be released were  considered  outstanding for
     purposes of the per share net earnings.  The pro forma stockholders' equity
     per share calculation assumes all ESOP shares were outstanding,  regardless
     of whether such shares would have been  released.  Because the Company will
     be providing the ESOP loan,  only  principal  payments on the ESOP loan are
     reflected as employee  compensation and benefits  expense.  As a result, to
     the  extent  the value of the shares  appreciates  over time,  compensation
     expense  related to the ESOP will  increase.  For purposes of the preceding
     tables,  it was assumed that a ratable portion of the ESOP shares purchased
     in the conversion  were  committed to be released  during the periods ended
     March 31, 1998 and September 30, 1997.  See Note 3 below.  If it is assumed
     that all of the ESOP shares were  included in the  calculation  of earnings
     per share for the period ended at March 31, 1998,  earnings per share would
     have been $.41,  $.36, $.33, and $.30,  respectively,  based on the sale of
     shares at the minimum,  midpoint,  maximum and the maximum, as adjusted, of
     the EVR. If it is assumed that all of the ESOP shares were  included in the
     calculation  of earnings per share for the period  ended at  September  30,
     1997,  earnings  per share  would have been  $.71,  $.63,  $.58,  and $.53,
     respectively, based on the sale of shares at the minimum, midpoint, maximum
     and the  maximum,  as  adjusted,  of the EVR.  See  "Management  of Peoples
     Savings Bank -- Other Benefits -- Employee Stock Ownership Plan."

(2)  Assumes the purchase by the RSP of 14,110, 16,600, 19,090 and 21,954 shares
     at the minimum,  mid-point,  maximum,  and maximum, as adjusted of the EVR.
     The  assumption  in the pro  forma  calculation  is that  (i)  shares  were
     purchased by the Company following the conversion,  (ii) the purchase price
     for the  shares  purchased  by the RSP was equal to the  purchase  price of
     $10.00  per share ^,  (iii) 10% and 20% of the  amount  contributed  was an
     amortized expense during the periods ended March 31, 1998 and September 30,
     1997,  respectively,  and (iv) the RSP amortized expenses are presented net
     of taxes using an effective  combined  federal and state income tax rate of
     37%.  Such amount does not reflect  possible  increases or decreases in the
     value  of  such  stock  relative  to  the  Purchase  Price.  As  we  accrue
     compensation expense to reflect the five year vesting period of such shares
     pursuant  to  the  RSP,  the  charge   against   capital  will  be  reduced
     accordingly.  Implementation of the RSP within one year of conversion would
     be subject to regulatory  review and  stockholder  approval at a meeting of
     our  stockholders  to  be  held  no  earlier  than  six  months  after  the
     conversion. If the shares to be purchased by the RSP are assumed at October
     1, 1997 to be newly issued shares  purchased from the Company by the RSP at
     the Purchase  Price,  at the  minimum,  midpoint,  maximum and maximum,  as
     adjusted,  of the EVR, pro forma stockholders'  equity per share would have
     been  $13.63,  $12.85,  $12.28  and  $11.78,  respectively,  and pro  forma
     earnings  per share would have been $.43,  $.38,  $.35 and $.32 for the six
     months ended March 31,  1998.  If the shares to be purchased by the RSP are
     assumed at October 1, 1996 to be newly  issued  shares  purchased  from the
     Company by the RSP at the Purchase Price, at the minimum, midpoint, maximum
     and maximum, as adjusted,  of the EVR, pro forma  stockholders'  equity per
     share would have been $13.26, $12.53, $12.00 and $11.54, respectively,  and
     pro forma earnings per share would have been $.75,  $.67, $.61 and $.56 for
     the year ended  September  30, 1997. If the RSP is funded from newly issued
     shares,   stockholders'   voting  interests  could  be  diluted  by  up  to
     approximately  ^ 3.8%. See  "Management of Peoples Savings Bank -- Proposed
     Future Stock Benefit Plans -- Restricted Stock Plan."
    

(3)  Pro forma net income per share  calculations  include  the number of shares
     assumed to be sold in the  conversion  and,  in  accordance  with SOP 93-6,
     exclude ESOP shares which would not have been  released  during the period.
     Accordingly,  26,809, 31,540, 36,271 and 41,712 shares have been subtracted
     from the shares assumed to be sold at the minimum, mid-point,  maximum, and
     maximum,  as adjusted,  of the EVR,  respectively,  and  325,941,  383,460,
     440,979 and 507,126  shares are assumed to be  outstanding  at the minimum,
     mid-point,  maximum,  and  maximum,  as adjusted of the EVR. For the period
     ended March 31, 1998,  25,398,  29,880,  34,362 and 39,516 shares have been
     subtracted  from the shares  assumed to be sold at the  minimum,  midpoint,
     maximum and maximum, as adjusted,  of the EVR,  respectively,  and 327,352,
     385,120,

                                       25
<PAGE>



     442,888 and 509,322  shares are assumed to be  outstanding  at the minimum,
     midpoint, maximum and maximum, as adjusted, of the EVR for the period ended
     September 30, 1997. See Note 1 above.

   
(4)  Assumes that following the consummation of the conversion, the Company will
     adopt the Option Plan,  which if implemented  within one year of conversion
     would be subject to regulatory review and board of director and stockholder
     approval,  and that  such plan  would be  considered  and  voted  upon at a
     meeting of the Company  stockholders  to be held no earlier than six months
     after the conversion.  Under the Option Plan, employees and directors could
     be granted  options to purchase an aggregate  amount of shares equal to 10%
     of the shares issued in the  conversion  at an exercise  price equal to the
     market  price of the  shares on the date of grant.  In the event the shares
     issued under the Option Plan were newly issued rather than purchased in the
     open market, the voting interests of existing stockholders could be diluted
     by up to  approximately ^ 9.1%. At the minimum,  midpoint,  maximum and the
     maximum, as adjusted,  of the EVR, if all shares under the Option Plan were
     newly issued at the  beginning of the  respective  periods and the exercise
     price for the option shares were equal to the Purchase Price, the number of
     outstanding shares would increase to 361,216, 424,960, 488,704 and 562,010,
     respectively,  pro forma stockholders'  equity per share at March 31, 1998,
     would have been $13.79,  $13.06,  $12.52 and $12.05,  respectively  and pro
     forma  earnings  per share  would  have  been  $.40,  $.35,  $.32 and $.29,
     respectively,  for the six months  ended March 31,  1998.  At the  minimum,
     midpoint,  maximum and the maximum, as adjusted,  of the EVR, if all shares
     under the Option Plan were newly issued at the  beginning of the period and
     the exercise price for the option shares were equal to the Purchase  Price,
     the number of  outstanding  shares  would  increase  to  362,627,  426,620,
     490,613 and 564,205, respectively, pro forma stockholders' equity per share
     at September  30, 1997 would have been $13.44,  $12.76,  $12.26 and $11.82,
     respectively,  and pro forma earnings per share would have been $.69, $.62,
     $.56 and $.51, respectively.
    

(5)  The amounts shown do not reflect the federal income tax consequences of the
     potential  restoration  to income of the bad debt  reserves  for income tax
     purposes, which would be required in the event of liquidation.  The amounts
     shown also do not  reflect the amounts  required to be  distributed  in the
     event of liquidation to eligible  depositors from the  liquidation  account
     which will be established  upon the  consummation  of the  conversion.  Pro
     forma  stockholders'  equity  information  is not intended to represent the
     fair  market  value of the  shares,  the  current  value of our  assets  or
     liabilities   or  the  amounts,   if  any,  that  would  be  available  for
     distribution to  stockholders  in the event of liquidation.  Such pro forma
     data may be  materially  affected by a change in the number of shares to be
     sold in the conversion and by other factors.

                                 THE CONVERSION

         Our board of  directors  and the OTS have  approved the Plan subject to
approval  by our  members,  and  subject to the  satisfaction  of certain  other
conditions imposed by the OTS in its approval.  OTS approval,  however, does not
constitute a recommendation or endorsement of the Plan.

General

         On March 2, 1998, our board of directors  adopted a Plan of Conversion,
pursuant to which we will convert from a federally chartered mutual savings bank
to a federally chartered stock savings bank and become a wholly owned subsidiary
of the Company.  The conversion  will include  adoption of the proposed  federal
stock  charter and bylaws which will  authorize the issuance of capital stock by
us.  Under the Plan,  our  capital  stock is being sold to the  Company  and the
common  stock of the Company is being  offered to our  eligible  depositors  and
other members and then to the public.  The  conversion  will be accounted for at
historical  cost in a manner  similar  to a pooling  of  interests.  The OTS has
approved the Company's  application to become a savings and loan holding company
and to acquire all of our common stock to be issued in the conversion.

         The  shares  are first  being  offered in a  subscription  offering  to
holders of  subscription  rights.  To the extent  shares of common  stock remain
available after the subscription offering, shares of common stock may be offered
in a community offering on a best efforts basis in such a manner as to promote a
wide distribution of the shares.  The community  offering,  if any, may commence
anytime subsequent to the commencement of the subscription offering.  Shares not
subscribed for in the  subscription  and community  offerings may be offered for
sale by the  Company  on a best  efforts  basis by a selling  group of  selected
broker/dealers  (which may include  Ryan Beck & Co.) in a  syndicated  community
offering  managed by Ryan Beck & Co. We have the right, in our sole  discretion,
to accept or reject,  in whole or in part, any orders to purchase  shares of the
common stock received in the community and syndicated community  offerings.  See
"-- Community Offering."

         Shares of common stock in an amount equal to our pro forma market value
as a stock  savings  institution  must be sold in order  for the  conversion  to
become effective.  The community offering or syndicated  community offering must
be  completed  within 45 days  after the last day of the  subscription  offering
period  unless such period is extended by us with the  approval of the OTS.  The
Plan provides that the conversion  must be completed  within 24 months after the
date of the approval of the Plan by our members.

         In the event that we are unable to  complete  the sale of common  stock
and  effect  the  conversion  within 45 days  after the end of the  subscription
offering, we may request an extension of the period by the OTS. No assurance can
be given that the extension  would be granted if requested.  Due to the volatile
nature of market conditions, no assurances can be given that our valuation would
not  substantially  change during any such  extension.  If the EVR of the shares
must be  amended,  no  assurance  can be given  that such  amended  EVR would be
approved by the OTS. Therefore,  it is possible that if the conversion cannot be
completed within the requisite  period,  we may not be permitted to complete the
conversion.  A  substantial  delay caused by an extension of the period may also
significantly increase the expense of the conversion. No sales of the shares may
be completed in the offering unless the Plan is approved by our members.

         The  completion  of the  offering is subject to market  conditions  and
other factors beyond our control.  No assurance can be given as to the length of
time following approval of the Plan at the meeting

                                       28

<PAGE>



of our  members  that will be  required  to  complete  the sale of shares  being
offered in the conversion.  If delays are experienced,  significant  changes may
occur in our  estimated  pro forma market value upon  conversion  together  with
corresponding  changes in the offering price and the net proceeds to be realized
by us from the sale of the shares. In the event the conversion is terminated, we
will  charge  all  conversion  expenses  against  current  income  and any funds
collected by us in the offering will be promptly  returned,  with  interest,  to
each potential investor.

Effects of  Conversion  to Stock Form on  Depositors  and  Borrowers  of Peoples
Savings Bank

         Voting Rights.  Currently in our mutual form, our depositor and certain
borrower  members as of December 2, 1996,  who  continue  to be  borrowers  have
voting  rights  and may  vote  for the  election  of  directors.  Following  the
conversion, all voting rights will be held solely by stockholders.

         Savings  Accounts and Loans.  The  balances,  terms and FDIC  insurance
coverage  of  savings   accounts  will  not  be  affected  by  the   conversion.
Furthermore,  the amounts and terms of loans and  obligations  of the  borrowers
under their individual contractual  arrangements with us will not be affected by
the conversion.

         Tax Effects.  We have  received an opinion  from our counsel,  Malizia,
Spidi,  Sloane & Fisch, P.C., on the federal tax consequences of the conversion.
The opinion has been filed as an exhibit to the registration  statement of which
this prospectus is a part and covers those federal tax matters that are material
to the transaction. The opinion provides, in part, that: (i) the conversion will
qualify as a reorganization  under Section 368(a)(1)(F) of the Code, and no gain
or loss will be recognized by us by reason of the proposed  conversion;  (ii) no
gain or loss will be recognized by us upon the receipt of money from the Company
for our stock,  and no gain or loss will be  recognized  by the Company upon the
receipt  of money for the  shares;  (iii) our  assets  will have the same  basis
before and after the  conversion;  (iv) the  holding  period of our assets  will
include the period  during  which the assets were held by us in our mutual form;
(v) no  gain or  loss  will  be  recognized  by the  Eligible  Account  Holders,
Supplemental  Eligible Account  Holders,  and Other Members upon the issuance to
them of withdrawable savings accounts in us in the stock form in the same dollar
amount as their  savings  accounts  in us in the mutual form plus an interest in
our liquidation account in the stock form in exchange for their savings accounts
in us in the  mutual  form;  (vi)  provided  that the  amount to be paid for the
shares pursuant to the subscription  rights is equal to the fair market value of
such shares,  no gain or loss will be  recognized by Eligible  Account  Holders,
Supplemental Eligible Account Holders, and Other Members under the Plan upon the
distribution to them of nontransferable  subscription rights; (vii) the basis of
each account  holder's savings accounts after the conversion will be the same as
the basis of his savings accounts prior to the conversion, decreased by the fair
market value of the  nontransferable  subscription rights received and increased
by the amount,  if any, of gain recognized on the exchange;  (viii) the basis of
each account holder's interest in the liquidation account will be zero; (ix) the
holding period of the common stock acquired through the exercise of subscription
rights shall begin on the date on which the  subscription  rights are exercised;
(x) we will succeed to and take into account our earnings and profits or deficit
in earnings and profits as of the date of  conversion;  (xi)  immediately  after
conversion,  we will succeed to the bad debt reserve accounts previously held by
us, and the bad debt  reserves  will have the same  character in our hands after
conversion  as if no  distribution  or  transfer  had  occurred;  and  (xii) the
creation of the liquidation account will have no effect on our taxable income.

         The opinion from Malizia,  Spidi, Sloane & Fisch, P.C. is based in part
on the  assumption  that the exercise price of the  subscription  rights will be
approximately  equal to the fair market value of those shares at the time of the
completion  of the proposed  conversion.  We have received an opinion of FinPro,
Inc. which, based on certain assumptions, concludes that the subscription rights
to be received by Eligible

                                       29

<PAGE>



Account Holders and other eligible subscribers do not have any economic value at
the time of distribution or at the time the  subscription  rights are exercised.
Such  opinion is based on the fact that such  rights  are:  (i)  acquired by the
recipients  without  payment  therefor,  (ii)  non-transferable,  (iii) of short
duration,  and (iv) afford the recipients the right only to purchase shares at a
price equal to their  estimated fair market value,  which will be the same price
at which shares for which no subscription  right is received in the subscription
offering will be offered in a community  offering.  If the  subscription  rights
granted to Eligible Account Holders or other eligible  subscribers are deemed to
have an  ascertainable  value,  receipt of such rights  would be taxable only to
those Eligible  Account  Holders or other eligible  subscribers who exercise the
subscription  rights in an amount equal to such value  (either as a capital gain
or ordinary income), and we could recognize gain on such distribution.

   
         We are also  subject to New Jersey  income  taxes and have  received an
opinion from ^ Lewis W. Parker,  III that the conversion will be treated for New
Jersey state tax purposes similar to the conversion's  treatment for federal tax
purposes. The opinion has been filed as an exhibit to the registration statement
to which this  prospectus  is a part and covers those state tax matters that are
material to the transaction.

         Unlike a private letter ruling, the opinions of Malizia,  Spidi, Sloane
& Fisch, P.C., ^ Lewis W. Parker, III and FinPro, Inc. have no binding effect or
official status,  and no assurance can be given that the conclusions  reached in
any of those  opinions  would be sustained by a court if contested by the IRS or
the New Jersey tax authorities.  Eligible Account Holders, Supplemental Eligible
Account Holders,  and Other Members are encouraged to consult with their own tax
advisers as to the tax  consequences  in the event the  subscription  rights are
deemed to have an ascertainable value.
    

         Liquidation  Account. In the unlikely event of our complete liquidation
in our present mutual form, each depositor is entitled to equal  distribution of
any of our  assets,  pro  rata  according  to the  value  of  his/her  accounts,
remaining after payment of claims of all creditors  (including the claims of all
depositors to the withdrawal value of their accounts). Each depositor's pro rata
share of such remaining  assets would be in the same  proportion as the value of
his/her deposit  accounts was to the total value of all deposit accounts held by
us at the time of liquidation.

         Upon a complete liquidation after the conversion,  each depositor would
have a claim, as a creditor,  of the same general  priority as the claims of all
of our  other  general  creditors.  Therefore,  except  as  described  below,  a
depositor's  claim  would be solely in the amount of the  balance in his deposit
account plus  accrued  interest.  A depositor  would not have an interest in the
residual value of our assets above that amount, if any.

         The  Plan  provides  for  the  establishment,  upon  completion  of the
conversion,  of a special  "liquidation  account"  for the  benefit of  Eligible
Account Holders and Supplemental Eligible Account Holders. Each Eligible Account
Holder and Supplemental Eligible Account Holder, if he continues to maintain his
deposit account with us, would be entitled,  upon our complete liquidation after
conversion,  to an interest in the  liquidation  account prior to any payment to
stockholders.  Each Eligible  Account  Holder would have an initial  interest in
such  liquidation  account for each deposit account held in us on the qualifying
date, December 31, 1996. Each Supplemental  Eligible Account Holder would have a
similar  interest as of the qualifying  date,  June 30, 1998. The interest as to
each deposit  account would be in the same  proportion of the total  liquidation
account as the balance of the deposit account on the qualifying dates was to the
aggregate  balance in all the deposit  accounts of Eligible  Account Holders and
Supplemental  Eligible Account Holders on such qualifying dates. However, if the
amount in the deposit  account on any annual closing date (September 30) is less
than the amount in such account on the  respective  qualifying  dates,  then the
interest in this special liquidation account would be reduced at that

                                       30

<PAGE>



time by an amount  proportionate  to any such reduction,  and the interest would
cease to exist if such deposit  account was closed.  The interest in the special
liquidation  account will never be increased despite any increase in the related
deposit account after the respective qualifying dates.

         No merger,  consolidation,  purchase of bulk assets with assumptions of
savings accounts and other  liabilities,  or similar  transactions  with another
insured  institution  in which  transaction we in our converted form are not the
surviving  institution  shall be  considered  a  complete  liquidation.  In such
transactions,  the  liquidation  account  shall  be  assumed  by  the  surviving
institution.

Subscription Rights and the Subscription Offering

         Non-transferable  subscription  rights to purchase shares of the common
stock have been granted to persons and entities  entitled to purchase  shares in
the  subscription  offering  under  the  Plan.  If  the  community  offering  or
syndicated  community  offering,  as  described  below,  extends  beyond 45 days
following  the  completion of the  subscription  offering,  subscribers  will be
resolicited. Subscription priorities have been established for the allocation of
stock to the extent that more shares are subscribed for than are to be issued in
the conversion subject to the purchase  limitations set forth in the Plan and as
described  below under "-- Limitations on Purchases and Transfer of Shares." The
following priorities have been established:

Category 1: Eligible Account Holders (First Priority).  Eligible Account Holders
are  persons who had a deposit  account of at least $50 with us on December  31,
1996. Each Eligible  Account Holder will receive  non-transferable  subscription
rights on a priority  basis to purchase  that  number of shares of common  stock
which is equal to the greater of 6,000 shares ($60,000), or 15 times the product
(rounded down to the next whole number) obtained by multiplying the total number
of shares to be issued by a fraction of which the numerator is the amount of the
qualifying  deposit of the Eligible  Account  Holder and the  denominator is the
total amount of qualifying  deposits of all Eligible Account Holders (subject to
the  maximum  purchase  limitation).  If  there is an  oversubscription  in this
category,  shares shall be allocated among subscribing  Eligible Account Holders
so as to permit each such account holder,  to the extent  possible,  to purchase
the lesser of 100 shares or the total amount of his subscription. Any shares not
so allocated shall be allocated among the subscribing  Eligible  Account Holders
on an equitable  basis,  related to the amounts of their  respective  qualifying
deposits  as  compared  to the  total  qualifying  deposits  of all  subscribing
Eligible Account Holders.  Only a person(s) with a qualifying  deposit as of the
eligibility  record  date  (or a  successor  entity  or  estate)  shall  receive
subscription  rights in this category.  Any Person(s) added to a Savings Account
after  the  Eligibility   Record  Date  is  not  an  Eligible   Account  Holder.
Subscription rights received by officers and directors in this category based on
their increased  deposits with us in the one-year period preceding  December 31,
1996, are  subordinated  to the  subscription  rights of other Eligible  Account
Holders. See "-- Limitations on Purchases and Transfer of Shares."

   
         To ensure proper allocation of stock, each Eligible Account Holder must
list on his  order  form all  deposit  accounts  in  which  he has an  ownership
interest on the Eligibility Record Date. Failure to list an account could result
in fewer shares being allocated than if all accounts had been disclosed. Neither
the Company nor the Bank nor any of their agents shall be responsible for orders
on which all qualifying deposits have not been fully and accurately disclosed.
    

Category  2:  Tax-Qualified  Employee  Benefit  Plans  (Second  Priority).   Our
tax-qualified  employee  benefit  plans  ("Employee  Plans")  have been  granted
subscription  rights to  purchase  up to 10% of the total  shares  issued in the
conversion. The ESOP is an Employee Plan.


                                       31

<PAGE>



   
         The right of Employee  Plans to subscribe for shares is  subordinate to
the right of the Eligible Account Holders to subscribe for shares.  However,  in
the event the  offering  results in the  issuance of shares above the maximum of
the EVR (i.e.,  more than ^ 477,250 shares),  the Employee Plans have a priority
right to fill their  subscription  (the ESOP, the only Employee Plan,  currently
intends to purchase up to 8% of the common stock issued in the conversion).  The
Employee  Plans may,  however,  determine to purchase  some or all of the shares
covered by their  subscriptions  after the  conversion in the open market or, if
approved by the OTS, out of  authorized  but unissued  shares in the event of an
oversubscription.
    

Category 3: Supplemental Eligible Account Holders (Third Priority). Supplemental
Eligible  Account  Holders are persons who had a deposit account of at least $50
with us on June 30, 1998. Each  Supplemental  Eligible Account Holder who is not
an Eligible Account Holder will receive non-transferable  subscription rights to
purchase  that number of shares  which is equal to the  greater of 6,000  shares
($60,000),  or 15 times the  product  (rounded  down to the next  whole  number)
obtained by multiplying the total number of shares to be issued by a fraction of
which the numerator is the amount of the qualifying  deposit of the Supplemental
Eligible  Account  Holder and the  denominator is the total amount of qualifying
deposits of all  Supplemental  Eligible  Account Holders (subject to the maximum
purchase  limitation).  If the allocation  made in this paragraph  results in an
oversubscription,  shares  shall be  allocated  among  subscribing  Supplemental
Eligible Account Holders so as to permit each such account holder, to the extent
possible,  to  purchase  the  lesser of 100  shares  or the total  amount of his
subscription.  Any  shares  not  so  allocated  shall  be  allocated  among  the
subscribing Supplemental Eligible Account Holders on an equitable basis, related
to the amounts of their respective  qualifying deposits as compared to the total
qualifying  deposits of all subscribing  Supplemental  Eligible Account Holders.
See "--Limitations on Purchases and Transfer of Shares."

         The rights of  Supplemental  Eligible  Account Holders to subscribe for
shares is subordinate to the rights of the Eligible Account Holders and Employee
Plans to subscribe for shares.

Category 4: Other Members (Fourth Priority).  Other Members are persons who have
a deposit account of at least $50 on ________ ____, 1998, the voting record date
of our special meeting,  and borrowers as of December 2, 1996 who continue to be
borrowers as of the date of our special meeting. Each Other Member who is not an
Eligible Account Holder or Supplemental  Eligible  Account Holder,  will receive
non-transferable subscription rights to purchase up to 6,000 shares ($60,000) to
the extent such shares are available following subscriptions by Eligible Account
Holders, Employee Plans, and Supplemental Eligible Account Holders. In the event
there are not  enough  shares  to fill the  orders  of the  Other  Members,  the
subscriptions  of the Other  Members will be allocated so that each  subscribing
Other Member will be entitled to purchase the lesser of 100 shares or the number
of shares  ordered.  Any remaining  shares will be allocated among Other Members
whose subscriptions remain unsatisfied on a 100 share (or whatever lesser amount
is available) per order basis until all orders have been filled on the remaining
shares have been  allocated.  See "--  Limitations  on Purchases and Transfer of
Shares."

         Members in  Non-Qualified  States.  We will make reasonable  efforts to
comply  with the  securities  laws of all states in the  United  States in which
persons  entitled  to  subscribe  for the shares  pursuant  to the Plan  reside.
However,  no person will be offered or allowed to purchase  any shares under the
Plan if he resides in a foreign  country or in a state with respect to which any
of the  following  apply:  (i) a small number of persons  otherwise  eligible to
subscribe  for shares under the Plan reside;  (ii) the granting of  subscription
rights or offer or sale of shares of common stock to those persons would require
either us or our employees to register under the  securities  laws of that state
or foreign  country as a broker or dealer,  or to register or otherwise  qualify
our securities for sale in that state or foreign country; or (iii)

                                       32

such registration or qualification would be impracticable for reasons of cost or
otherwise.  No payments  will be made in lieu of the  granting  of  subscription
rights to any person.

         Restrictions on Transfer of Subscription Rights and Shares. Persons are
prohibited from  transferring or entering into any agreement or understanding to
transfer  the  legal  or  beneficial  ownership  of their  subscription  rights.
Subscription rights may be exercised only by the person to whom they are granted
and only for his or her  account.  Each  person  subscribing  for shares will be
required to certify  that  he/she is  purchasing  shares  solely for his/her own
account and has not entered  into an agreement or  understanding  regarding  the
sale or transfer of those shares.  The regulations also prohibit any person from
offering  or  making an  announcement  of an offer or intent to make an offer to
purchase  subscription  rights or shares of common stock prior to the completion
of the conversion.

         We will pursue any and all legal and equitable remedies in the event we
become aware of the transfer of subscription rights and will not honor orders we
believe to involve the transfer of subscription  rights or which appear to us to
present other irregularities.

         Expiration Date. The  Subscription  Offering will expire at 12:00 noon,
Eastern Time, on ________ ____, 1998 (Expiration Date). Subscription rights will
become void if not exercised prior to the Expiration Date.

Community Offering

         To the  extent  that  shares  remain  available  and  subject to market
conditions at or near the completion of the subscription  offering, we may offer
shares to certain members of the general public in a community offering,  with a
preference given to natural persons who reside in Burlington County, New Jersey.
Any orders  received in  connection  with the community  offering,  if any, will
receive a lower priority than orders properly made in the subscription  offering
by persons exercising  Subscription  Rights.  Common stock sold in the community
offering  will be sold at the  same  price  as all  shares  in the  subscription
offering.  We have the  right to  reject  any  orders in whole or in part in the
community offering.

         No person or persons ordering through a single account, nor any person,
associate  or group of persons  acting in concert may  purchase  more than 6,000
shares or $60,000  of stock sold in the  conversion.  To order  common  stock in
connection  with the community  offering,  if held, an executed stock order form
along  with  full  payment  must be  received  prior to the  termination  of the
community offering.

   
         The date by which  orders must be received  in the  community  offering
^("Community  Offering  Expiration  Date")  will  be set by us at  the  time  of
commencement of the community  offering;  provided  however,  if the offering is
extended beyond  ________ ____,  1998, each subscriber will have the opportunity
to maintain,  modify, or rescind his order. In such event, all funds received in
the  community  offering  will be promptly  returned  with  interest  unless the
subscriber affirmatively indicates otherwise.
    

         In the event that an order is not accepted in the community offering or
that the conversion is not  consummated,  we will promptly  refund with interest
the funds received.  If the appraisal of the estimated  market value of the Bank
and the Company is less than $3,527,500 or more than $5,488,380, each subscriber
will have the right to modify or rescind his order.

Syndicated Community Offering

         To the  extent  that  shares  remain  available  and  subject to market
conditions we may offer shares of common stock not purchased in the subscription
and community  offerings in a syndicated  community offering through a syndicate
of  selected  broker/dealers  to be formed and  managed by Ryan,  Beck & Co. The
syndicated community offering,  if held, will be conducted to achieve the widest
distribution  of shares,  subject  to our right to reject  orders in whole or in
part in our  sole  discretion.  Neither  Ryan,  Beck & Co.  nor  any  registered
broker/dealer  will have any  obligation  to take or purchase  any shares in the
syndicated community offering.  Shares sold in the syndicated community offering
will be sold at $10.00 per share.

   
         The purchase  limitations  that apply in the subscription and community
offerings also apply in the  syndicated  community  offering.  In the event of a
syndicated  community  offering,  Ryan,  Beck & Co. will form a selling group of
selected  NASD  member  firms  ^(which  may  include  Ryan,  Beck & Co.) under a
selected  dealers'  agreement.  The Company  will pay a fee equal to 5.5% of the
aggregate  amount of stock sold  pursuant to such  selected  dealer  agreements.
Ryan, Beck & Co. will not commence a syndicated  community offering through such
a selling group without the Company's  prior  approval.  See "The  Conversion --
Marketing Arrangements" and "-- Community Offering."
    

         The syndicated  community offering will terminate not more than 45 days
following the  Expiration  Date,  unless we further extend the offering with the
approval of the OTS and we resolicit subscribers.

Ordering and Receiving Shares

         Use of Order Forms.  Rights to subscribe for stock in the  subscription
offering or to purchase  stock in the  community  offering  (if any) may only be
exercised  by  completing  an  original  order form and  certification.  Persons
ordering shares in the subscription offering must deliver by mail or in person a
properly  completed and signed original order form to us prior to the Expiration
Date.  Order forms must be accompanied  by full payment for all shares  ordered.
See "-- Payment for Shares."  Subscription  rights under the Plan will expire on
the  Expiration  Date,  whether or not we have been able to locate  each  person
entitled to subscription  rights. Once submitted,  subscription orders cannot be
revoked  without our consent  unless the  conversion is not completed  within 45
days of the Expiration Date.

         In the event an order form (i) is not  delivered  and is returned to us
by the United  States Postal  Service or we are unable to locate the  addressee,
(ii) is not  received  or is  received  after  the  Expiration  Date,  (iii)  is
defectively  completed or executed,  or (iv) is not  accompanied by full payment
for the shares  subscribed for (including  instances  where a savings account or
certificate  balance from which withdrawal is authorized is insufficient to fund
the amount of such required payment),  the subscription rights for the person to
whom such rights have been  granted  will lapse as though that person  failed to
return the completed  order form within the time period  specified.  We may, but
will not be required to, waive any irregularity on any order form or require the
submission  of  corrected  order  forms or the  remittance  of full  payment for
subscribed  shares by such date as we specify.  The waiver of an irregularity on
an order form in no way obligates us to waive any other  irregularity on that or
on any other order form.  Waivers  will be  considered  on a case by case basis.
Photocopies of order forms,  payments from private third parties,  or electronic
transfers of funds will not be  accepted.  Our  interpretation  of the terms and
conditions  of the Plan and of the  acceptability  of the  order  forms  will be
final. We have the right to investigate any irregularity on any order form.

         To ensure that each  purchaser  receives a prospectus at least 48 hours
before the Expiration  Date in accordance  with Rule 15c2-8 of the Exchange Act,
no prospectus will be mailed any later than five

                                       34

<PAGE>



days prior to such date or hand  delivered any later than two days prior to such
date. Execution of the order form will confirm receipt or delivery in accordance
with Rule l5c2-8. Order forms will only be distributed with a prospectus.

   
         Payment for Shares.  Payment for shares of common stock may be made (i)
in cash,  if  delivered  in person,  (ii) by check or money  order,  or (iii) by
authorization  of withdrawal from savings  accounts  (including  certificates of
deposit)  maintained  with us.  Orders of  $25,000  or more must be paid by Bank
account   withdrawals,   certified  funds,   cashier's  check  or  money  order.
Appropriate  means by which such  withdrawals may be authorized are provided for
in the order form. Once such a withdrawal has been authorized, no portion of the
designated withdrawal amount may be used by the subscriber for any purpose other
than to  purchase  the shares.  Where  payment  has been  authorized  to be made
through  withdrawal  from a savings  account,  the sum authorized for withdrawal
will  continue to earn interest at the contract  rate until the  conversion  has
been completed or terminated. Interest penalties for early withdrawal applicable
to  certificate  accounts  will not  apply  to  withdrawals  authorized  for the
purchase of shares;  however,  if a partial  withdrawal results in a certificate
account with a balance less than the applicable minimum balance requirement, the
certificate  evidencing the remaining balance will earn interest at the passbook
savings account rate  subsequent to the withdrawal.  Payments made in cash or by
check or money  order,  will be  placed  in a  segregated  savings  account  and
interest will be paid by us at our passbook  savings  account rate from the date
payment is received until the conversion is completed or terminated. An executed
order form,  once  received by us, may not be  modified,  amended,  or rescinded
without our consent, unless the conversion is not completed within 45 days after
the conclusion of the subscription  offering,  in which event subscribers may be
given an opportunity to increase, decrease, or rescind their order. In the event
that the  conversion is not  consummated,  all funds  submitted  pursuant to the
offering will be refunded promptly with interest.

         Owners  of  self-directed  IRAs  may use  the  assets  of such  IRAs to
purchase shares in the offering.  Persons with IRAs maintained with us must have
their accounts transferred to a self-directed IRA at an unaffiliated institution
or to a broker  to  purchase  shares  in the  offering.  There  will be no early
withdrawal or IRS interest  penalties for such transfers.  The Stock Information
Center can assist you in transferring  your  self-directed  IRA.  Because of the
paperwork  involved,  persons  owning  IRAs who wish to use their IRA account to
purchase  stock in the offering,  must contact the Stock  Information  Center no
later than ________ ____, 1998.
    

         The ESOP may subscribe  for shares by  submitting  its order form along
with evidence of a loan commitment  from a financial  institution or the Company
for the purchase of the shares  during the  subscription  offering and by making
payment for shares on the date of completion of the conversion.

         Federal regulations  prohibit us from lending funds or extending credit
to any person to purchase shares in the conversion.

         Delivery of Stock  Certificates.  Certificates  representing  shares of
common stock  issued in the  conversion  will be mailed to the  person(s) at the
address noted on the order form, as soon as practicable  following  consummation
of the conversion. Any certificates returned as undeliverable will be held until
properly  claimed or otherwise  disposed.  Persons  ordering shares might not be
able to sell their shares until they receive their stock certificates.

Plan of Distribution

         Materials   for  the  offering  have  been   distributed   to  eligible
subscribers by mail.  Additional  copies are available at our Stock  Information
Center. Our officers may be available to answer questions about

                                       35

<PAGE>



the  conversion.  Responses  to  questions  about  us  will  be  limited  to the
information  contained in this  document.  Officers  will not be  authorized  to
render investment  advice.  All subscribers for the shares being offered will be
instructed  to  send  payment  directly  to us.  The  funds  will  be  held in a
segregated  special escrow account and will not be released until the closing of
the conversion or its termination.

Marketing Arrangements

         We have engaged Ryan, Beck & Co. as our financial advisor in connection
with the offering.  Ryan,  Beck & Co. has agreed to exercise its best efforts to
assist  us in the sale of the  shares in the  offering.  Ryan,  Beck & Co.  will
receive a fee of $125,000,  which will include  reimbursement  for out-of-pocket
expenses  (including  legal fees and  out-of-pocket  expenses  of such  counsel)
incurred by Ryan,  Beck & Co. We have also agreed to indemnify  Ryan, Beck & Co.
for  reasonable  costs  and  expenses  in  connection  with  certain  claims  or
liabilities   which  might  be   asserted   against   Ryan,   Beck  &  Co.  This
indemnification covers the investigation,  preparation of defense and defense of
any  action,   proceeding   or  claim   relating   to,   among   other   things,
misrepresentation  or breach of warranty of the written  agreement between Ryan,
Beck & Co. and the Bank or the omission or alleged  omission of a material  fact
required to be stated or necessary in order to make disclosure in the prospectus
and related documents not misleading.  In the event that a syndicated  community
offering is conducted,  we will pay Ryan,  Beck & Co. a fee equal to 5.5% of the
aggregate  amount of our  common  stock sold  pursuant  to any  selected  dealer
agreements Ryan, Beck has entered into with any broker/dealer.  Ryan, Beck & Co.
will, however, not commence sales through these broker/dealers without our prior
approval.

         The shares  will be offered  principally  by the  distribution  of this
document and through activities  conducted at the Stock Information  Center. The
Stock Information Center is expected to operate during our normal business hours
throughout the offering.  A registered  representative  employed by Ryan, Beck &
Co. will be working at, and supervising the operation of, the Stock  Information
Center. Ryan, Beck & Co. will assist us in responding to questions regarding the
conversion  and the offering and processing  order forms.  Our personnel will be
present in the Stock Information Center to assist Ryan, Beck & Co. with clerical
matters and to answer questions related solely to our business.

Stock Pricing

         We have retained FinPro, Inc., an independent  consulting and appraisal
firm, which is experienced in the evaluation and appraisal of business entities,
including savings institutions involved in the conversion process, to prepare an
appraisal of our  estimated  market  value.  FinPro,  Inc.  will receive fees of
$13,000 for preparing the appraisal and $11,000 for its assistance in connection
with  the  preparation  of a  business  plan  and also  will be  reimbursed  for
reasonable  out-of-pocket  expenses.  We have agreed to indemnify  FinPro,  Inc.
under certain  circumstances  against liabilities and expenses arising out of or
based on the services provided by FinPro, Inc.

         FinPro,   Inc.  has  prepared  the   appraisal  in  reliance  upon  the
information contained herein, including the financial statements.  The appraisal
contains an analysis of a number of factors  including,  but not limited to, our
financial  condition and operating trends,  the competitive  environment  within
which we operate,  operating trends of certain savings  institutions and savings
and loan holding companies, relevant economic conditions, both nationally and in
the State of New Jersey,  which affect the  operations of savings  institutions,
and stock market values of certain savings  institutions.  In addition,  FinPro,
Inc. has advised us that it has considered the effect of the additional  capital
raised by the sale of the shares on our  estimated  aggregate  pro forma  market
value.


                                       36

<PAGE>



         On the basis of the above, FinPro, Inc. has determined, in its opinion,
that as of June 12,  1998,  our  estimated  market  value  was  $4,150,000.  OTS
regulations require,  however, that the appraiser establish a range of value for
the stock to allow for  fluctuations  in the aggregate value of the stock due to
changing  market  conditions and other factors.  Accordingly,  FinPro,  Inc. has
established a range of value from $3,527,500 to $4,772,500 for the offering, the
EVR. The EVR will be updated prior to consummation of the conversion and the EVR
may increase to $5,488,380 without resolicitation of subscriptions.

         The  board  of  directors  has  reviewed  the  independent   appraisal,
including  the  stated   methodology  of  the  independent   appraiser  and  the
assumptions used in the preparation of the independent  appraisal.  The board of
directors is relying upon the  expertise,  experience  and  independence  of the
appraiser  and  is  not  qualified  to  determine  the  appropriateness  of  the
assumptions.

         In order for stock sales to take place FinPro, Inc. must confirm to the
OTS that, to the best of FinPro,  Inc.'s  knowledge  and judgment,  nothing of a
material nature has occurred which would cause FinPro, Inc. to conclude that the
aggregate sale price for the shares would not be compatible with FinPro,  Inc.'s
estimate of our pro forma market value immediately upon conversion. If, however,
facts do not justify such a statement, an amended EVR may be established.

         The  appraisal  is  not  a  recommendation   of  any  kind  as  to  the
advisability  of purchasing  these shares.  In preparing the appraisal,  FinPro,
Inc. has relied upon and assumed the accuracy and  completeness of the financial
and statistical information we provided them. FinPro, Inc. did not independently
verify the  financial  statements  and other  information  we provided,  nor did
FinPro,  Inc.  independently  value our assets and  liabilities.  The  appraisal
considers  us  only  as a going  concern  and it  should  not be  viewed  as our
liquidation value.  Moreover,  because the appraisal is based upon estimates and
projections of a number of matters which are subject to change, the market price
of the common stock could decline below $10.00.

Change in Number of Shares to be Issued in the Conversion

         Depending  on  market  and  financial  conditions  at the  time  of the
completion of the offering, we may significantly increase or decrease the number
of shares to be issued in the  conversion.  In the event of an  increase  in the
valuation,  we may  increase  the  total  number  of  shares to be issued in the
conversion.  An  increase  in the  total  number  of  shares to be issued in the
conversion would decrease a subscriber's  percentage  ownership interest and the
pro forma net worth (book value) per share and increase the pro forma net income
and net worth (book  value) on an  aggregate  basis.  In the event of a material
reduction in the valuation, we may decrease the number of shares to be issued to
reflect the reduced  valuation.  A decrease in the number of shares to be issued
in the conversion would increase a subscriber's  percentage  ownership  interest
and the pro forma net worth (book  value) per share and  decrease  pro forma net
income and net worth on an aggregate basis.

         Persons ordering shares will not be permitted to modify or cancel their
orders unless the change in the number of shares to be issued in the  conversion
results  in an  offering  which is  either  less  than  $3,527,500  or more than
$5,488,380.  Persons  who did  not  subscribe  for  shares  will  not  have  the
opportunity to do so.

Limitations on Purchases and Transfer of Shares

         The Plan  provides for certain  additional  purchase  limitations.  The
minimum purchase is 25 shares and the maximum purchase for any person or persons
ordering through a single account, or for

                                       37

<PAGE>



any person,  associate,  or group of persons acting in concert, is 6,000 shares.
However,  the Employee  Plans may purchase up to 10% of the shares sold. The OTS
regulations  governing  the  conversion  provide that officers and directors and
their associates may not purchase, in the aggregate, more than 35% of the shares
issued pursuant to the conversion.

         Depending on market  conditions  and the results of the  offering,  the
board of  directors  may,  if the OTS agrees,  increase  or decrease  any of the
purchase   limitations   without  the   approval  of  our  members  and  without
resoliciting  subscribers.  If the maximum  purchase  limitation  is  increased,
persons who ordered the maximum  amount will be given the first  opportunity  to
increase their orders.  In doing so the  preference  categories in the offerings
will be followed.

         In the event of an  increase in the total  number of shares  offered in
the  conversion  due to an  increase  in the  EVR  of up to 15%  (the  "Adjusted
Maximum"),  the  additional  shares will be allocated in the following  order of
priority:  (i) to fill  the  Employee  Plans'  subscription  of up to 10% of the
Adjusted  Maximum number of shares (the ESOP currently  intends to subscribe for
8%);  (ii) in the event that there is an  oversubscription  by Eligible  Account
Holders, to fill unfulfilled subscriptions of Eligible Account Holders; (iii) in
the event that there is an  oversubscription  by Supplemental  Eligible  Account
Holders,  to fill  unfulfilled  subscriptions  to Supplemental  Eligible Account
Holders;  (iv) in the event that there is an  oversubscription by Other Members,
to fill unfulfilled  subscriptions of Other Members; and (v) to fill unfulfilled
subscriptions in the community offering to the extent possible.

         The  term  "associate"  of  a  person  means  (i)  any  corporation  or
organization  (other than us or a  majority-owned  subsidiary  of ours) of which
such  person is an  officer  or  partner  or is,  directly  or  indirectly,  the
beneficial  owner of 10% or more of any  class of  equity  securities,  (ii) any
trust or other estate in which such person has a substantial beneficial interest
or as to which such person serves as trustee or in a similar fiduciary  capacity
(excluding  tax-qualified  employee stock benefit plans), and (iii) any relative
or spouse of such person or any relative of such  spouse,  who has the same home
as such  person or who is one of our  directors  or  officers,  or a director or
officer of the Company or of any of our subsidiaries. For example, a corporation
of which a person serves as an officer would be an associate of that person, and
therefore all shares  purchased by that  corporation  would be included with the
number of shares which that person  individually  could purchase pursuant to the
above limitations.

         The term  "officer"  may include our chairman of the board,  president,
vice  presidents  in charge  of  principal  business  functions,  secretary  and
treasurer and any other person  performing  similar  functions.  All  references
herein to an officer have the same meaning as used for an officer in the Plan.

         To order  shares in the  conversion,  persons  must  certify that their
purchase does not conflict with the purchase limitations.  In the event that the
purchase  limitations  are exceeded by any person  (including  any  associate or
group of persons  affiliated or otherwise  acting in concert with such persons),
we will have the right to  purchase  from  that  person at $10.00  per share all
shares  acquired by that person in excess of the  purchase  limitations.  If the
excess shares have been sold by that person,  we may recover the profit from the
sale of the shares by that  person.  We may assign our right  either to purchase
the excess shares or to recover the profits from their sale.

         Shares of common stock  purchased  pursuant to the  conversion  will be
freely transferable,  except for shares purchased by our directors and officers.
For certain restrictions on the shares purchased by directors and officers,  see
"-- Restrictions on Sales and Purchases of Shares by Directors and Officers." In
addition, under guidelines of the NASD, members of the NASD and their associates
are subject to certain  restrictions on the transfer of securities  purchased in
accordance with subscription  rights and to certain reporting  requirements upon
purchase of such securities.

                                       38

<PAGE>




Restrictions on Repurchase of Shares

         Generally,  during the first year following the conversion, the Company
may not  repurchase  its shares and  during  each of the second and third  years
following the  conversion,  the Company may repurchase up to five percent of the
outstanding  shares  provided  they are purchased in  open-market  transactions.
Repurchases  must not cause us to become  undercapitalized  and at least 10 days
prior  notice  of the  repurchase  must  be  provided  to the  OTS.  The OTS may
disapprove a repurchase  program upon a  determination  that (1) the  repurchase
program would  adversely  affect our financial  condition,  (2) the  information
submitted  is  insufficient  upon which to base a  conclusion  as to whether the
financial condition would be adversely affected, or (3) a valid business purpose
was  not  demonstrated.  However,  the  OTS  may  grant  special  permission  to
repurchase  shares after six months  following the  conversion and to repurchase
more than five percent  during each of the second and third years.  In addition,
SEC rules also govern the method,  time,  price,  and number of shares of common
stock that may be repurchased by the Company and affiliated  purchasers.  If, in
the future,  the rules and  regulations  regarding  the  repurchase of stock are
liberalized, the Company may utilize the rules and regulations then in effect.

Restrictions on Sales and Purchases of Shares by Directors and Officers

         Shares  purchased by  directors  and officers of the Company may not be
sold for one year following the conversion,  except in the event of the death of
the director or officer.  Any shares issued to directors and officers as a stock
dividend,  stock split,  or otherwise with respect to restricted  stock shall be
subject to the same restrictions.

         For three years  following the  conversion,  directors and officers may
purchase  shares only  through a  registered  broker or dealer.  Exceptions  are
available  only if the OTS has approved the purchase or the purchase is an arm's
length transaction and involves more than one percent of the outstanding shares.

Interpretation and Amendment of the Plan

         We  have  the   authority  to  interpret   and  amend  the  Plan.   Our
interpretations  are final.  Amendments  to the Plan after the receipt of member
approval will not need further member approval unless required by the OTS.

Conditions and Termination

         Completion of the  conversion  requires (i) the approval of the Plan by
the  affirmative  vote of a majority of the total number of votes eligible to be
cast by our members,  and (ii) completion of the sale of shares within 24 months
following  approval  of the Plan by our  members.  If these  conditions  are not
satisfied,  the Plan will be terminated and we will continue our business in the
mutual form of organization.  We may terminate the Plan at any time prior to the
meeting  of  members  to vote on the  Plan or at any  time  thereafter  with the
approval of the OTS.

Other

         All  statements  made in this  document  are  hereby  qualified  by the
contents of the Plan of  Conversion,  the material  terms of which are set forth
herein.  The Plan of  Conversion  is attached to the proxy  statement  mailed to
certain  depositors and borrowers.  Copies of the Plan are available from us and
should be consulted for further information. Adoption of the Plan by our members
authorizes us to interpret, amend or terminate the Plan.

                              STATEMENTS OF INCOME

   
         The following  Statements of Income for each of the fiscal years in the
two fiscal periods ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, have been audited by Lewis

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

         Management's  discussion  and  analysis  is  intended  to assist you in
understanding our financial condition and results of operations. The information
in this section  should also be read with our Financial  Statements and Notes to
the Financial Statements included elsewhere in this document.

General

         The Company has recently been formed and,  accordingly,  has no results
of operations.  The following discussion relates only to our financial condition
and results of operations. Please refer to our Pro Forma Data discussion on page
__ to see the potential effects of the offering on our financial statements.

         Our results of  operations  depend  primarily on net  interest  income,
which is determined by (i) the  difference  between rates of interest we earn on
our interest-earning assets and the rates we pay on interest-bearing liabilities
(interest rate spread), and (ii) the relative amounts of interest-earning assets
and interest-bearing liabilities. Our results of operations are also affected by
noninterest  income,  including,  income from customer  deposit  account service
charges,  gains and  losses  from the sale of  investments  and  mortgage-backed
securities and  noninterest  expense,  including,  primarily,  compensation  and
employee benefits,  federal deposit insurance  premiums,  office occupancy cost,
and  data  processing   cost.  Our  results  of  operations  are  also  affected
significantly by general and economic and competitive  conditions,  particularly
changes in market interest rates,  government policies and actions of regulatory
authorities, all of which are beyond our control.

Market Risk Analysis

   
         Qualitative  Analysis.  Our assets and  liabilities  may be analyzed by
examining the extent to which they are interest rate sensitive and by monitoring
the expected effects of interest rate changes on our net portfolio value.
    

         An asset or liability is interest rate sensitive within a specific time
period if it will  mature or  reprice  within  that time  period.  If our assets
mature or reprice more quickly or to a greater extent than our liabilities,  our
net  portfolio  value and net  interest  income  would tend to  increase  during
periods of rising interest rates but decrease during periods of falling interest
rates.  Conversely,  if our assets  mature or reprice more slowly or to a lesser
extent than our  liabilities,  our net portfolio  value and net interest  income
would tend to decrease  during  periods of rising  interest  rates but  increase
during  periods of falling  interest  rates.  Our policy has been to address the
interest rate risk inherent in the historical  savings  institution  business of
originating  long-term  loans  funded  by  short-term  deposits  by  maintaining
sufficient  liquid assets for material and prolonged  changes in interest  rates
and by  originating  loans with shorter terms to maturity such as  construction,
commercial and consumer loans. In addition,  we have invested in adjustable-rate
mortgage-backed securities as an interest rate risk management strategy.

   
         ^ Quantitative  Analysis. In order to encourage savings associations to
reduce  their  interest  rate  risk,  the OTS  adopted a rule  incorporating  an
interest rate risk ("IRR") component into the risk-based  capital rules. The IRR
component is a dollar  amount that will be deducted  from total  capital for the
purpose of calculating an institution's  risk-based  capital  requirement and is
measured  in terms of the  sensitivity  of its net  portfolio  value  ("NPV") to
changes in interest rates.  NPV is the difference  between incoming and outgoing
discounted cash flows from assets, liabilities, and off-balance sheet contracts.
An  institution's  IRR is  measured  as the  change  to its NPV as a result of a
hypothetical 200 basis point ("bp") change in market interest rates. A resulting
change in NPV of more than 2% of the estimated present
    

                                       41

<PAGE>



value of total  assets  ("PV") will require the  institution  to deduct from its
capital 50% of that excess change. The rules provide that the OTS will calculate
the IRR component  quarterly for each  institution.  Based on our asset size and
risk-based  capital,  we have been  informed  by the OTS that we are exempt from
this rule. Nevertheless, the following table presents our NPV at March 31, 1998,
as calculated by the OTS, based on quarterly information we voluntarily provided
to the OTS.

</TABLE>


- ------------------
(1) Calculated as the estimated NPV divided by present value of total assets.

         Computations  of  prospective  effects of  hypothetical  interest  rate
changes are based on numerous  assumptions,  including relative levels of market
interest rates,  prepayments and deposit  run-offs and should not be relied upon
as  indicative  of actual  results.  Certain  shortcomings  are inherent in such
computations.   Although   certain  assets  and  liabilities  may  have  similar
maturities  or periods of  repricing,  they may react at different  times and in
different degrees to changes in market rates of interest.  The interest rates on
certain types of assets and  liabilities  may fluctuate in advance of changes in
market interest rates,  while rates on other types of assets and liabilities may
lag  behind  changes  in  market  interest  rates.  In the  event of a change in
interest  rates,   prepayments  and  early   withdrawal   levels  could  deviate
significantly  from those  assumed in making the  calculations  set forth above.
Additionally,  an  increased  credit  risk may result as many  borrowers  may be
unable to service their debt in the event of an interest rate increase.

         Our board of directors  reviews our asset and liability  policies on an
annual basis.  The board of directors  meets  quarterly to review  interest rate
risk and  trends,  as well as  liquidity  and capital  ratios and  requirements.
Management administers the policies and determinations of the board of directors
with respect to our asset and liability goals and strategies. We expect that our
asset and liability  policies and strategies  will continue as described so long
as competitive and regulatory  conditions in the financial  institution industry
and market interest rates continue as they have in recent years.

Financial Condition

   
         Total assets  increased $1.07 million or 2.8% to $38.7 million at March
31, 1998 from $37.6  million at September  30, 1997.  The increase was primarily
attributable to a $1.9 million increase in our loans receivable, net, and a $1.4
million increase in interest-bearing deposits with other banks, partially offset
by a decrease in securities  held-to-maturity  of $998,000 as well as a decrease
in mortgage-backed  and related  securities  held-to-maturity  of $476,000.  Our
total liabilities increased $930,000 or 2.6%, to $36.5 million at March 31, 1998
from  $35.5  million  at  September   30,  1997.   The  increase  was  primarily
attributable to a $891,000 increase in deposits.  Deposits  increased  primarily
due to increased  marketing  efforts through greater  advertising.  Total assets
increased  $3.3  million or 9.3% to $37.6  million at  September  30,  1997,  as
compared to $34.4 million at September 30, 1996. This increase was primarily due
to a $3.1 million or 13.5% increase in loans receivable, net, and a $1.2 million
increase in cash and due from banks, partially offset by a $1.6 million decrease
in  securities  held-to-maturity.  The increase in loans  receivable  was due to
greater  marketing and increased demand in our primary market area. The decrease
in securities held-to-maturity was a result of maturing instruments.
    

         Total  liabilities  increased  $3.0 million or 9.4% to $35.5 million at
September  30, 1997 as compared to $32.5  million at September  30,  1996.  This
increase  was due to an  increase  in  deposits  of $5.6  million  or  19.0%  at
September  30,  1997,  partially  offset  by a $2.4  million  decrease  in  FHLB
advances.  We had no FHLB advances at September 30, 1997 as our borrowings  were
repaid during 1997 using funds provided by the increase in deposits.

         Retained earnings  increased  $137,000 to $2.2 million or 5.7% of total
assets at March 31, 1998, as compared to $2.1 million or 5.5% of total assets at
September  30, 1997 and $1.9 million or 5.5% of total  assets at  September  30,
1996.  The  increases in retained  earnings are  primarily  attributable  to net
income.

Average Balance Sheet

         The following table sets forth a summary of average  balances of assets
and liabilities as well as average yield and rate information.  Average balances
are  based  upon  month-end  balances,  however,  we do not  believe  the use of
month-end  balances  differs  significantly  from an  average  based  upon daily
balances. There have been no tax equivalent adjustments made to yields.

Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended March 31, 1998 and 1997

   
         Net Income.  Our net income increased  $52,000 for the six months ended
March 31,  1998,  to $114,000  from  $62,000 for the six months  ended March 31,
1997. This increase was primarily attributable to an $81,000 increase in our net
interest income^ and a $53,000  increase in our noninterest  income ^, partially
offset by a $55,000  increase in our provision  for loan losses,  an increase in
noninterest expense of $11,000 and an increase in income taxes of $16,000.
    

         Net  Interest  Income.  Net  interest  income  is the most  significant
component of our income from  operations.  Net interest income is the difference
between  interest we receive on our  interest-earning  assets,  primarily loans,
investment   and   mortgage-backed   securities  and  interest  we  pay  on  our
interest-bearing liabilities, primarily deposits. Net interest income depends on
the volume of and rates earned on interest-earning  assets and the volume of and
rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities.

         Our net interest income increased  $81,000,  or 15.15%, to $656,000 for
the six months ended March 31, 1998, as compared to the same period in 1997. The
increase was primarily due to the growth in our average  interest-earning assets
to $35.7  million in 1998 from $34.0  million in 1997 and growth in our interest
rate spread to 3.34% in 1998 compared to 3.25% in 1997.

         The  increase in our average  interest-earning  assets of $1.7  million
primarily  reflects  increases of $3.5 million in our balance of average  loans,
partially  offset by a decrease of $2.0  million in  investment  securities  and
other  assets.  The  increase in our  interest-earning  assets was funded by the
increase in deposits.

   
         Our  interest  rate  spread  and net yield on  interest-earning  assets
increased for the six months ended March 31, 1998 compared to the same period in
1997 which was ^ due to an  increase  in average  yield on our  interest-earning
assets of 7.47% in 1998  compared  to 7.43% in 1997,  ^ along with a decrease in
our average  yield on  interest-bearing  deposits  of 4.13% in 1998  compared to
4.18% in 1997. The increase in our average yield on interest-earning  assets was
due to increased lending activity.

         The decrease in our average  interest-bearing  liabilities  of $192,000
reflects  increases of $417,000 in our average  interest-bearing  ^ NOW accounts
and $1.6 million in average  savings and  certificates of deposit and a decrease
of $2.2  million in average  FHLB  borrowings.  The decrease in our average FHLB
borrowings is primarily due to the increase in deposits.

         Provision  for Loan Losses.  Our  provision for loan losses was $59,000
for the six months  ended  March 31,  1998,  as  compared to $4,000 for the same
period in 1997. The increase in the provision ^ was the result of management's ^
determination  that a higher  allowance for loan losses was necessary to protect
our  ability to absorb  losses.  This,  in turn,  was based on our  decision  to
diversify our loan portfolio.  Prior to this decision, as of September 30, 1997,
the Bank had commercial  lines of credit of $17,550.  This balance  increased to
$176,147  at March 31,  1998,  a 903.69%  increase.  These  lines of credit  are
usually  collateralized  by illiquid  assets and,  therefore,  they have greater
credit risk. For this reason,  we have allocated $40,000 of the provision to the
allowance for these loans. Previously, we had no allowance for loss allocated to
this category of loans. We anticipate increasing our loan loss allowance as this
category of loans increases.

         ^Additionally,  consumer loans increased  $40,000 during the year ended
September 30, 1997,  and $40,000 during the six months ended March 31, 1998. Due
to our increased  emphasis on consumer loans which have greater credit risk than
residential  mortgages,  we have increased our provision for losses  relating to
consumer  loans by $6,000.  Both our  commercial  and  residential  real  estate
portfolios also
    

                                       46

<PAGE>



   
increased  significantly  during the period ended March 31, 1998, as compared to
the fiscal year ended September 30, 1997. We accordingly increased our provision
for loans losses attributable to each of these portfolios by $14,000.

         Management believes the allowance for loan losses is at a level that is
adequate to provide for  estimated  losses.  However,  there can be no assurance
that further  additions  will not be made to the  allowance and that such losses
will not exceed the estimated  amount.  See "Business of Peoples Savings Bank --
Nonperforming and Problem Assets -- ^ Allowances for Loan Losses."
    

         Noninterest  Income.  Our noninterest income increased $53,000 or 67.3%
from  $79,000 for the six months  ended March 31, 1997 to $133,000  for the same
period  in  1998.  This  increase  in  our  noninterest  income  was  due to the
collection of a $54,000 deficiency  judgment,  partially offset by a decrease in
fees and other service charges of $1,000.

   
         Noninterest  Expense. Our noninterest expense increased $11,000 or 2.0%
from  $566,000  for the six months ended March 31, 1997 to $578,000 for the same
period in 1998.  The  increase  in our  noninterest  expense was due to a $6,000
increase in our occupancy and equipment  expense and a $13,000 increase in other
noninterest expense, partially offset by decreases of $1,000 in our compensation
and benefits and $7,000 in our federal insurance  premiums.  The decrease in our
federal  deposit  insurance  premiums was due to a reduction in the rate charged
for deposit insurance. The category of non-interest expense described as "Other"
is comprised of expenses  related to  advertising,  fees charged by banks,  loan
processing   fees,   NOW  expenses,   costs  related  to  supplies  and  various
professional fees. The highest of these expenses was $34,000 for bank charges.
    

         As a result of the conversion, our noninterest expense may increase due
to costs  associated with our employee stock ownership  plan,  restricted  stock
plan,  if  implemented,  and the costs of being a public  company.  However,  we
expect any such  increase to be offset by increased  interest  income  resulting
from investment of the proceeds from the conversion.

         Income Tax  Expense.  Our income tax  expense  increased  $16,000  from
$22,000 in 1997 to $38,000 in 1998.  This  increase in income tax expense is due
to the increase in our pretax income of $68,000 from $84,000 in 1997 to $152,000
in 1998.  Our  effective tax rate was 25.07% and 26.24% for the six months ended
March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

Results of Operations for the Years Ended September 30, 1997 and 1996

         Net  Income.  Our net  income  increased  $212,000  for the year  ended
September  30,  1997,  to  $192,000  from a loss of  $20,000  for the year ended
September  30, 1996.  This  increase  was  primarily  attributable  to a $79,000
increase in our net  interest  income,  a $50,000  increase  in our  noninterest
income and a $182,000 decrease in our noninterest expense, partially offset by a
$103,000 increase in our income tax expense due to the increase in income before
taxes. In 1996, we were required to pay a one-time assessment to the FDIC in the
amount of $192,000 to recapitalize the SAIF.

   
         Net Interest  Income.  Our net interest income  increased  $79,000,  or
6.9%, to $1.2 million for the year ended  September 30, 1997, as compared to the
same period in 1996. The increase was primarily due to the growth in our average
interest-earning  assets to $35.0  million in 1997 from  $31.6  million in 1996,
partially  offset by a decrease  in our  interest  rate  spread to 3.28% in 1997
compared to 3.52% in 1996. The growth in  interest-earning  assets resulted from
^increased ^originations of loans.
    


                                       47

<PAGE>



   
         The  increase in our average  interest-earning  assets of $3.4  million
reflects  increases  of $3.2  million in our ^ average  loans  balance  and $1.0
million in our other interest-earning  assets, partially offset by a decrease of
$886,000 in our  investment  securities.  The  increase in our  interest-earning
assets was funded by the  increase of $2.4  million in average  interest-bearing
liabilities.

         Our  interest  rate  spread  and net yield on  interest-earning  assets
decreased  for the year ended  September 30, 1997 compared to the same period in
1996  primarily  due to an  increase  in our  average  cost on  interest-bearing
liabilities  to 4.25% in 1997  compared  to 3.97% in 1996.  The  increase in our
average  cost  on  interest-bearing  liabilities  was  due  to  an  increase  in
borrowings  of  $564,000  and  an  increase  in  our  average  ^  rate  paid  on
interest-bearing liabilities of 28 basis points.
    

         The  increase  in our  average  interest-bearing  liabilities  of  $2.4
million  reflects  increases  of $1.5  million in our  average  certificates  of
deposit,  $619,000  in average  savings  accounts  and  $122,000  in average NOW
accounts.

         Provision for Loan Losses.  Our provision for loan losses was $8,000 in
1997 as compared to $13,000 in 1996.  The decrease in the  provision in 1997 was
the result of  management's  review of the  adequacy of the  allowance  for loan
losses.

         Noninterest  Income.  Our noninterest income increased $50,000 or 45.3%
from  $111,000  in 1996 to $161,000 in 1997.  This  increase in our  noninterest
income was due to increases  of $38,000 in our deposit  account fees and service
charges, $8,000 in income from real estate owned and $5,000 in increased gain on
sales of available-for-sale securities, partially offset by a $1,000 increase in
our loss on sale of assets.  Deposit account fees increased during 1997 due to a
higher number of accounts.

   
         Noninterest  Expense.  Our noninterest  expense  decreased  $182,000 or
14.1% from $1.3  million in 1996 to $1.1  million in 1997.  The  decrease in our
noninterest  expense  was due to a  $235,000  decrease  in our  federal  deposit
insurance  premiums  and  assessments,  offset by  increases  of  $32,000 in our
compensation and benefits and $24,000 in our other noninterest  expense accounts
which was partially attributable to increases in the processing costs related to
the growth in the number of  transaction  accounts.  The decrease in our federal
deposit  insurance  premiums was due to a $192,000  one-time special  assessment
levied in 1996 to recapitalize the SAIF, which did not recur in 1997.  Following
the one-time special assessment, the FDIC insurance premium rates decreased from
0.230% to  0.063%  per $100 in SAIF  deposits,  resulting  in lower  noninterest
expense.  The category of non-interest expense described as "Other" is comprised
of expenses related to advertising, fees charged by banks, loan processing fees,
NOW  expenses,  costs  related to supplies and various  professional  fees.  The
highest of these expenses was $56,000 for bank charges.

         Income Tax Expense.  Our income tax expense  increased  $103,000 from a
credit of  $22,000  in 1996 to  $81,000  in 1997.  This  increase  in income tax
expense is due to the increase in our pretax  income from a loss before taxes of
$42,000 in 1996 to income  before taxes of $273,000 in 1997.  Our  effective tax
rate was 29.8% for the year ended September 30, 1997.
    

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         We are required to maintain  minimum levels of liquid assets as defined
by OTS regulations.  This requirement,  which varies from time to time depending
upon economic  conditions and deposit  flows,  is based upon a percentage of our
deposits and short-term borrowings. The required ratio currently is 4.0% and our
regulatory  liquidity  ratio average was 11.14%,  11.63% and 12.86% at March 31,
1998, September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

                                       48

         Our  primary  sources  of funds are  deposits,  repayment  of loans and
mortgage-backed   securities,    maturities   of   investment   securities   and
interest-bearing  deposits with other banks, advances from the FHLB of New York,
and funds  provided from  operations.  While  scheduled  repayments of loans and
mortgage-backed   securities  and   maturities  of  investment   securities  are
predictable  sources of funds,  deposit flows,  and loan prepayments are greatly
influenced  by the general  level of interest  rates,  economic  conditions  and
competition.  We use our liquidity  resources  principally  to fund existing and
future loan  commitments,  maturing  certificates  of deposit and demand deposit
withdrawals,  to invest in other interest-earning assets, to maintain liquidity,
and meet operating expenses.

         Net cash  provided by our  operating  activities  (the cash  effects of
transactions  that enter into our  determination  of net income  e.g.,  non-cash
items,  amortization  and  depreciation,  provision for loan losses) for the six
months ended March 31, 1998 was $131,000,  an increase of $206,000,  as compared
to the same period in 1997.  The increase in 1998 was primarily due to a $52,000
increase in our net income,  an increase in our income taxes payable of $36,000,
an  increase  in  our  prepaid  expenses,   and  cash  used  to  reduce  accrued
liabilities.  Net cash provided by our operating  activities  year for the ended
September  30,  1997 was  $169,000  as  compared  to $42,000  for the year ended
September  30,  1996.  The  increase  in 1997 was  primarily  due to a  $212,000
increase in our net income, reduced by payments on other liabilities and taxes.

         Net  cash  used  by our  investing  activities  (i.e.,  cash  receipts,
primarily  from  our  investment   securities  and  mortgage-backed   securities
portfolios  and our loan  portfolio)  for the six months  ended March 31,  1998,
totalled $1.8 million,  a decrease of $2.3 million.  This decrease was primarily
attributable to loan originations and investments in interest-bearing  deposits.
For the year ended  September  30,  1997 net cash used by  investing  activities
totalled $2.2  million,  a decrease of $400,000  from  September  30, 1996.  The
decrease was primarily  attributable  to funding net loan growth of $3.1 million
in 1997 as compared to $2.6 million in 1996.  The decrease was also  affected by
paydowns and  maturities of investment  and  mortgage-backed  securities of $1.2
million in 1997 as compared to $4.5 million in 1996.

         Net  cash  used  in  our  financing  activities  (i.e.,  cash  receipts
primarily from net increases in deposits and net decreases in FHLB advances) for
the six months  ended  March 31,  1998,  totalled  $900,000,  a decrease of $3.5
million as compared to the six months ended March 31,  1997.  For the year ended
September 30, 1997 net cash used in financing  activities totalled $3.2 million,
an increase of $2.5 million from  September 30, 1996. The increase was primarily
attributable to repayment of FHLB advances.

         Approximately $11.3 million of our time deposits mature within the next
12 months. We expect such deposits to be renewed at market rates. In addition to
this  source  of  continuing  funding,  we have a $9.4  million  line of  credit
available through the FHLB of New York.

Year 2000 Issues

         The  approaching  millennium is causing  organizations  of all types to
review their computer  systems for the ability to properly  accommodate the year
2000.  When  computer  systems  were first  developed,  two digits  were used to
designate the year in date calculations and "19" was assumed for the century. As
a result,  there is  significant  concern about the integrity of date  sensitive
calculations  when the calendar  rolls over to January 1, 2000.  An older system
could interpret  01/01/00 as January 1, 1900 potentially  causing major problems
calculating interest, payment, delinquency or maturity dates.


                                       49

<PAGE>



   
         Our  internal  Year  2000  Working   Committee,   comprised  of  senior
management was formed to address the potential risk that Year 2000 poses for us.
This  committee  reports to the board of directors.  In June 1997, the committee
compiled a written  Year 2000  Action  Plan to promote  awareness  of  pertinent
issues and to provide  for  evaluation  and testing of our  electronic  systems,
programs  and  processes.  This  report was  submitted  to the OTS for review in
August 1997 and was deemed acceptable by the OTS in October 1997.

         Accurate data  processing is essential to our  operations and a lack of
accurate  processing  by our  vendor or by us could have a  significant  adverse
impact on our  financial  condition  and  results  of  operations.  We have been
assured by our data processing  service bureau that their computer services will
function  properly  on and after  January 1,  2000.^  Additional  testing of the
system is scheduled  for August  1998.  If by the end of this year ^ our primary
data processing  service bureau ^ has encountered  unforseen  problems and, as a
result, will not be year 2000 compliant within the necessary timeframe,  we will
seek a secondary data  processing  service  provider to complete the task. If we
are unable to do this,  we will identify  those steps  necessary to minimize the
negative impact this could have on us. ^ We are also in the process of upgrading
our teller  equipment to be year 2000  compliant and we expect this upgrade to
be completed by the fourth  calendar  quarter of 1998. We estimate that the cost
of our year  2000  upgrades  will  not have a  material  adverse  effect  on our
financial condition or results of operations.
    

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

         FASB  Statement on Reporting  Comprehensive  Income.  In June 1997, the
Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board ("FASB")  issued  Statement of Financial
Accounting  Standards ("SFAS") No. 130. SFAS No. 130 will require us to classify
items of other comprehensive  income by their nature in the financial statements
and display the accumulated  balance of other  comprehensive  income  separately
from retained  earnings and additional  paid-in capital in the equity section of
the statement of equity.  SFAS No. 130 is effective  for fiscal years  beginning
after December 15, 1997. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a
material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

   
         FASB Statement on Earnings Per Share.  In March 1997,  FASB issued SFAS
No. 128. The  Statement  establishes  standards  for  computing  and  presenting
earnings per share and applies to entities  with  publicly  held common stock or
potential  common stock.  This Statement  supersedes the standards for computing
earnings per share  previously  found in  Accounting  Principles  Board  ("APB")
Opinion  No.  15,  Earnings  per Share  ("EPS"),  and makes them  comparable  to
international EPS standards.  It replaces the presentation of primary EPS with a
presentation  of basic EPS.  It also  requires  dual  presentation  of basic and
diluted EPS on the face of the income  statement  for all entities  with complex
capital  structures  and  requires a  reconciliation  of the  numerator  and the
denominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the
diluted EPS computation. Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing
income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common
shares  outstanding for the period.  Diluted EPS 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.  Diluted EPS is computed
similarly to fully  diluted EPS  pursuant to APB Opinion No. 15. This  statement
supersedes Opinion No. 15 and AICPA Accounting  Interpretation  1-102 of Opinion
15. This  statement is effective  for  financial  statements  issued for periods
ending after December 15, 1997,  including  interim periods.  We will adopt SFAS
No. 128 for all our financial statements prepared after the conversion.
    

         FASB Statement on Disclosure of Information about Capital Structure. In
February  1997,  the FASB issued SFAS No. 129. The  Statement  incorporates  the
disclosure  requirements  of APB Opinion No. 15,  Earnings per Share,  and makes
them applicable to all public and nonpublic entities that have

                                       50

<PAGE>



issued  securities  addressed  by the  Statement.  APB  Opinion  No. 15 requires
disclosure of descriptive  information  about securities that is not necessarily
related to the computation of earnings per share.  This statement  continues the
previous  requirements to disclose certain information about an entity's capital
structure  found in APB  Opinions No. 10,  Omnibus  Opinion-  1966,  and No. 15,
Earnings  per  Share,  and  FASB  Statement  No.  47,  Disclosure  of  Long-Term
Obligations,  for  entities  that  were  subject  to the  requirements  of those
standards.  This Statement  eliminates the exemption of nonpublic  entities from
certain disclosure  requirements of Opinion 15 as provided by FASB Statement No.
21, Suspension of the Reporting of Earnings per Share and Segment Information by
Nonpublic  Enterprises.   It  supersedes  specific  disclosure  requirements  of
Opinions 10 and 15 and Statement 47 and consolidates  them in this Statement for
ease  of  retrieval  and for  greater  visibility  to  nonpublic  entities.  The
Statement  is  effective  for  financial  statements  for periods  ending  after
December 15, 1997. We will adopt SFAS No. 129 for all our  financial  statements
prepared after the conversion.

         FASB  Statement on  Disclosures  about  Segments of an  Enterprise  and
Related  Information.  In June 1997,  the FASB issued SFAS No. 131. SFAS No. 131
establishes  standards for the way public  enterprises are to report information
about  operating  segments in annual  financial  statements  and requires  those
enterprises to report selected  information about operating  segments in interim
financial  reports.  SFAS No. 131 is  effective  for  financial  statements  for
periods  beginning after December 15, 1997. The adoption of this standard is not
expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

         FASB  Statement  on  Employers'  Disclosures  about  Pensions and Other
Postretirement  Benefits.  In February  1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 132. SFAS
No. 132 revises  employers'  disclosures about pension and other  postretirement
benefit  plans.  SFAS No. 132 does not change the  measurement or recognition of
those plans and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997.
The adoption of this  standard is not expected to have a material  impact on our
consolidated financial statements.

   
         FASB  Statement on Accounting for  Derivative  Instruments  and Hedging
Activities. In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133. SFAS No. 133 requires an
entity to  recognize  all  derivatives  as either an asset or a liability in the
statement of financial  position and to measure these instruments at fair value.
SFAS No. 133 is effective for fiscal years  beginning  after June 15, 1999.  The
adoption  of this  standard  is not  expected  to have a material  impact on our
consolidated financial statements.
    

                      BUSINESS OF FARNSWORTH BANCORP, INC.

         The  Company is not an  operating  company  and has not  engaged in any
significant   business   to  date.   It  was   formed  in  May  1998  as  a  New
Jersey-chartered corporation to be the holding company for Peoples Savings Bank.
The  holding  company  structure  will  facilitate:   (i)  diversification  into
non-banking activities, (ii) acquisitions of other financial institutions,  such
as savings  institutions,  (iii)  expansion  within existing and into new market
areas, and (iv) stock repurchases  without adverse tax consequences.  There are,
however, no present plans regarding diversification,  acquisitions, expansion or
repurchases.

         Since the Company will own only one savings  association,  it generally
will not be  restricted  in the  types of  business  activities  in which it may
engage,   provided  that  we  retain  a  specified   amount  of  our  assets  in
housing-related  investments.  The Company initially will not conduct any active
business and does not intend to employ any persons  other than officers but will
utilize our support staff from time to time.

         The  office  of  the  Company  is  located  at 789  Farnsworth  Avenue,
Bordentown, New Jersey. The telephone number is (609) 298-0723.

                        BUSINESS OF PEOPLES SAVINGS BANK

         Peoples Savings Bank was originally chartered in 1880 as The Bordentown
Building and Loan Association.  In 1965 we merged with Peoples Building and Loan
Association  and became  Bordentown  Peoples  Savings and Loan  Association.  We
acquired Florence Township Savings and Loan Association and Beverly Building and
Loan  Association  in 1985  and  1989,  respectively.  The  Beverly  branch  was
subsequently  closed in 1994.  In 1995 we changed  our name to  Peoples  Savings
Bank, SLA. In 1996 we converted from a state-chartered  mutual savings bank to a
federally-chartered  mutual savings bank, and  concurrently  changed our name to
Peoples Savings Bank.

         We are a community and  customer-oriented  federal  mutual savings bank
with two branch  offices  located in  Burlington  County.  We provide  financial
services to individuals,  families and small businesses.  Historically,  we have
emphasized   residential  mortgage  lending,   primarily   originating  one-  to
four-family  mortgage  loans.  At March 31,  1998,  we had total assets of $38.7
million, deposits of $36.1 million, and retained earnings of $2.3 million.

         The  principal  sources  of  funds  for our  activities  are  deposits,
payments  on loans  and  borrowings  from the FHLB of New  York.  Funds are used
principally  for  the  origination  of  fixed-rate   mortgage  loans,  but  also
occasionally for the origination of adjustable-rate  mortgage loans,  secured by
first  mortgages  on  one-  to  four-family  residences  located  in  our  local
communities,  and for the purchase of investment securities. One- to four-family
mortgage  loans totalled  $21.6  million,  or 75% of our total loans  receivable
portfolio  at March 31,  1998.  Our  principal  sources of revenue are  interest
received on loans and on investments and our principal  expense is interest paid
on deposits and borrowings.

Market Area

   
         Our main  office is located  in  Bordentown  and our  branch  office is
located  in  Florence,  approximately  seven  miles from the main  office.  Both
offices  are in  northern  Burlington  County,  our primary  market  area.  Both
Bordentown and Florence are densely  populated,  urban areas.  Burlington County
has a stable economy with a low  unemployment  rate, and a diversified  economic
base of light industry and retail  businesses.  ^ Median  household  incomes for
Bordentown and Florence are  substantially  higher than those in the rest of the
state.  Unlike Florence,  the population in Bordentown is projected to increase,
although not by as much as is projected for the ^State of New Jersey.
    

Lending Activities

         Most of our loans are  mortgage  loans  which  are  secured  by one- to
four-family  residences.  We also make construction loans on one- to four-family
and commercial properties, commercial real estate and business loans, as well as
consumer  loans.  Almost all of the loans we  originate  have rates of  interest
which are fixed ("fixed-rate").

Mortgage Loans:

         One- to Four-Family  Residential  Loans.  Our primary lending  activity
consists of originating  one- to  four-family  fixed-rate  residential  mortgage
loans which are  owner-occupied  and  secured by property  located in our market
area.  We  generally  originate  fixed-rate  loans with  terms,  conditions  and
documentation which would permit us to either sell the loans to Federal National
Mortgage   Association  ("FNMA"  or  Federal  Home  Loan  Mortgage   Corporation
("FHLMC"), in the secondary market or retain them in our portfolio, depending on
the yield on the loan and on our asset/liability management objectives. While we
have in the past originated adjustable-rate mortgage ("ARM") loans, this has not
been a significant  aspect of our  business.  At March 31, 1998, we had only one
ARM loan.

         Our  fixed-rate  loans  generally  have  terms from 10 to 30 years with
principal and interest  payments  calculated using up to a 30-year  amortization
period.  Some of these  fixed-rate  loans are balloon loans with terms of 5 or 7
years,  with principal and interest  payments again calculated using up to a 30-
year  amortization  period.  The  maximum  loan-to-value  ratio  on  residential
mortgage loans is 95%. Loans originated with a loan-to-value  ratio in excess of
80% require private mortgage insurance.

         Our mortgage loans generally include due-on-sale clauses. This gives us
the right to deem the loan immediately due and payable in the event the borrower
transfers  ownership  of the property  securing  the  mortgage  loan without our
consent.

         Commercial  Real Estate  Loans.  Our  commercial  real estate loans are
secured  by  office  buildings,   retail  establishments  and  other  commercial
properties. These loans generally do not exceed $500,000, nor do they have terms
greater  than 15 years.  If a  borrower  should  require  a longer  amortization
period,  the loan  will be an  adjustable  or  balloon  mortgage,  adjusting  or
maturing in five years.

         Commercial real estate lending  entails  significant  additional  risks
compared to residential  property  lending.  These loans typically involve large
loan balances to single borrowers or groups of related borrowers.  The repayment
of these loans  typically is dependent on the  successful  operation of the real
estate project  securing the loan. For commercial real estate these risks can be
significantly  affected by supply and demand conditions in the market for office
retail space and may also be subject to adverse  conditions  in the economy.  To
minimize these risks, we generally limit this type of lending to our market area
and to borrowers who are otherwise well known to us and generally limit the loan
to value ratio to 75%.

Construction Loans:

         We  make  residential  construction  loans/permanent  loans  on one- to
four-family  residential  property to the individuals who will be the owners and
occupants upon completion of construction.  We also make commercial construction
loans to local business.  Our three current projects are a motel conversion loan
(in the amount of $500,000),  a shopping  center (in the amount  $350,000) and a
medical facility (in the amount of $504,000).

         Interest  payments only are required during  construction and these are
to be paid from the borrower's own funds. These loans are made at 1% to 2% above
prime and have terms of up to 12 months. The maximum  loan-to-value ratio is 75%
of the appraised value of the completed project. Upon completion of construction
the loan  converts  to a  permanent  loan and  regular  principal  and  interest
payments commence. We do not finance any speculative projects.


                                       55

<PAGE>



         Construction lending is generally considered to involve a higher degree
of credit risk than long-term financing of residential  properties.  Our risk of
loss on a  construction  loan is  dependent  largely  upon the  accuracy  of the
initial  estimate of the property's  value at completion of construction and the
estimated cost of  construction.  If the estimate of  construction  cost and the
marketability  of the  property  upon  completion  of the  project  prove  to be
inaccurate,  we may be  compelled  to advance  additional  funds to complete the
construction.  Furthermore, if the final value of the completed property is less
than the estimated amount,  the value of the property might not be sufficient to
assure the repayment of the loan.

Commercial Business Loans:

   
         Our  commercial  loans  generally  constitute  lines of credit to local
businesses.  These loans are  primarily  secured by real estate and generally do
not have terms  greater than one year.  We offer  commercial  business  loans to
benefit  from the  higher  fees and  interest  rates  and the  shorter  terms to
maturity.

         Unlike  residential  mortgage  loans,  which  generally are made on the
basis of the borrower's ability to make repayment from his or her employment and
other income and which are secured by real property whose value tends to be more
easily ascertainable,  commercial business loans typically are made on the basis
of the borrower's ability to make repayment from the cash flow of the borrower's
business. As a result, the availability of funds for the repayment of commercial
business  loans may be  substantially  dependent  on the success of the business
itself and the general economic environment.  ^Commercial loans, therefore, have
greater credit risk than residential mortgage loans.
    

         We are also a Small Business  Administration ("SBA") authorized lender.
A  variety  of types of  small  business  administration  loans  are  available.
Currently there are no SBA loans in the portfolio.

Consumer Loans:

         We offer  non-collateralized  personal  loans in the  amounts  of up to
$5,000 in order to provide a wider range of financial  services to our customers
and because these loans provide  higher  interest rates and shorter terms (12 to
36 months) than many of our other loans. Consumer loans totalled $3.5 million or
12.27% of our total loans at March 31,  1998.  We also offer loans with  savings
pledged as  additional  security.  Our  consumer  loans  consist of home equity,
savings account, automobile and personal loans.

   
         The home equity loans we originate  are secured by one- to  four-family
residences.  These  loans  have terms of three to 15 years,  generally  will not
exceed $100,000 and have loan-to-value  ratios of 80% or less. Home equity lines
of  credit  have  interest  rates of prime  plus 1.5% and are  subject  to a 75%
loan-to-value ratio, which includes a first mortgage balance.
    

         Consumer loans may entail greater risk than residential mortgage loans,
particularly  in the case of  consumer  loans that are  unsecured  or secured by
assets that depreciate rapidly.  Repossessed collateral for a defaulted consumer
loan may not be  sufficient  for  repayment  of the  outstanding  loan,  and the
remaining deficiency may not be collectible.

         Loan Approval Authority and Underwriting.  Our loan committee, which is
comprised of President Pelehaty,  Vice President Alessi, our Senior Loan Officer
and our Loan Servicing Manager,  approves one- to four-family  mortgage loans up
to the  conforming  loan limit of  $227,150,  and all other loans up to $50,000.
Loan requests above this amount must be approved by the full board of directors,
which  meets  twice  monthly,  or by the  Executive  Committee  composed of four
non-employee directors and President Pelehaty.

         Upon  receipt  of a  completed  loan  application  from  a  prospective
borrower,  a credit report is ordered.  Income and certain other  information is
verified. If necessary,  additional financial  information may be requested.  If
applicable,  an appraisal or other estimate of value of the real estate intended
to be used as  security  for the  proposed  loan  is  obtained.  Appraisals  are
processed by independent fee appraisers. Private mortgage insurance will also be
required in certain instances.

         Construction/permanent  loans are made on individual properties.  Funds
advanced during the construction  phase are held in a  loans-in-process  account
and disbursed at various stages of completion,  following physical inspection of
the construction by a loan officer or appraiser.

         Either title insurance or a title opinion is generally  required on all
real estate loans. Borrowers also must obtain fire and casualty insurance. Flood
insurance is also  required on loans  secured by property  which is located in a
flood zone.

         Loan  Commitments.   Written  commitments  are  issued  to  prospective
borrowers within 45 days of the loan application.  The prospective  borrower has
10 days from this commitment date within which to accept the loan. The loan must
close within 45 days of this  acceptance  date.  The interest  rate at which the
loan will be made is fixed for 60 days from the date of the loan application. At
March 31, 1998,  commitments  to cover  originations  of mortgage loans totalled
$1,705,000. We believe that virtually all of our commitments will be funded.

         Loans to One Borrower. The maximum amount of loans which we may make to
any one borrower may not exceed the greater of $500,000 or 15% of our unimpaired
capital and unimpaired  surplus. We may lend an additional 10% of our unimpaired
capital  and  unimpaired  surplus  if the  loan  is  fully  secured  by  readily
marketable  collateral.  Our maximum loan to one borrower  limit was $500,000 at
March 31, 1998.  One loan  exceeded  this limit at March 31, 1998.  This loan is
being refinanced so that it is within the required limit. At March 31, 1998, the
aggregate  loans of our five  largest  borrowers  have  outstanding  balances of
between $345,000 and $504,000.

Nonperforming and Problem Assets

   
         Loan  Delinquencies.  When a mortgage  loan becomes 15 days past due, a
notice of  nonpayment  is sent to the  borrower.  After the loan becomes 30 days
past due,  another notice of nonpayment,  accompanied by a personal  letter,  is
sent to the borrower.  If the loan continues in a delinquent  status for 90 days
past due and no repayment  plan is in effect,  foreclosure  proceedings  will be
initiated. The borrower will be notified when foreclosure is commenced. Although
generally our policy is to discontinue  accruing interest on loans ^more than 90
days past due, in certain  circumstances  exceptions  may be made if upon review
there is adequate  collateral to justify  continuing to accrue interest on ^such
loans.
    

         Loans are reviewed on a monthly  basis and are placed on a  non-accrual
status when, in our opinion,  the collection of additional interest is doubtful.
Interest accrued and unpaid at the time a loan is placed on nonaccrual status is
charged against  interest  income.  Subsequent  interest  payments,  if any, are
either  applied to the  outstanding  principal  balance or  recorded as interest
income, depending on the assessment of the ultimate collectibility of the loan.

</TABLE>


         Classified Assets. OTS regulations provide for a classification  system
for problem  assets of savings  associations  which  covers all problem  assets.
Under this classification system, problem assets of savings institutions such as
ours  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  borrower  or of the  collateral  pledged,  if any.
Substandard  assets include those  characterized  by the "distinct  possibility"
that the savings  institution  will sustain "some loss" if the  deficiencies are
not corrected. Assets classified as doubtful have all of the weaknesses inherent
in  those  classified  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 warranted.  Assets may be designated  "special
mention"   because  of  potential   weakness  that  do  not  currently   warrant
classification in one of the aforementioned categories.

         When  a  savings  association   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 a savings  association  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. A savings association'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

                                       58

<PAGE>



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 a savings
association's regulatory capital.  Specific valuation allowances for loan losses
generally  do not  qualify as  regulatory  capital.  At March 31,  1998,  we had
$453,000 of loans  classified  as special  mention,  and no loans  classified as
substandard, doubtful or loss.

         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 our loan portfolio. The evaluation,  including a review of all loans on which
full  collectibility  of interest and principal  may not be reasonably  assured,
considers:  (i) our past loan loss experience,  (ii) known and inherent risks in
our portfolio,  (iii) adverse  situations that may affect the borrower's ability
to repay, (iv) the estimated value of any underlying collateral, and (v) current
economic conditions.

         We monitor  our  allowance  for loan losses and make  additions  to the
allowance as economic conditions dictate. Although we maintain our allowance for
loan losses at a level that we consider  adequate for the inherent  risk of loss
in our  loan  portfolio,  future  losses  could  exceed  estimated  amounts  and
additional  provisions  for loan losses  could be  required.  In  addition,  our
determination as to the amount of allowance for loan losses is subject to review
by  the  OTS,  as  part  of its  examination  process.  After  a  review  of the
information available,  the OTS might require the establishment of an additional
allowance.

         The following  table  illustrates  the  allocation of the allowance for
loan losses for each category of loans.  The allocation of the allowance to each
category is not necessarily indicative of future loss in any particular category
and does not  restrict our use of the  allowance to absorb  losses in other loan
categories.

Investment Activities

         Investment  Securities.  We are 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.  See "Regulation -- Savings
Institution  Regulation  -- Federal  Home Loan Bank  System"  and  "Management's
Discussion  and Analysis of Financial  Condition  and Results of  Operations  --
Liquidity and Capital  Resources."  The level of liquid assets varies  depending
upon several factors, including: (i) the yields on investment alternatives, (ii)
our judgment as to the  attractiveness  of the yields then available in relation
to  other  opportunities,   (iii)  expectation  of  future  yield  levels,  (iv)
asset/liability  management, and (v) our projections as to the short-term demand
for funds to be used in loan origination and other  activities.  We classify our
investment   securities  as   "available-for-sale"   or   "held-to-maturity"  in
accordance with SFAS No. 115. At March 31, 1998, our investment portfolio policy
permitted  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,  (vii) federal funds, including FHLB
overnight and term deposits (up to six months), (viii) collateralized automobile
receivables,  and (ix) investment  grade corporate  bonds,  commercial paper and
mortgage derivative products. See "-- Mortgage-Backed  Securities." The board of
directors may authorize additional investments.

         Our investment securities  "available-for-sale"  and "held-to-maturity"
portfolios at March 31, 1998,  did not contain  securities of any issuer with an
aggregate book value in excess of 10% of our equity,  excluding  those issued by
the United States government agencies.

         Mortgage-Backed  Securities.  To supplement lending activities, we have
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 such as us. The
quasi-governmental  agencies  guarantee the payment of principal and interest to
investors and include the FHLMC, the Government  National  Mortgage  Association
("GNMA") and FNMA.

         At March 31, 1998, all of our mortgage-backed  securities portfolio was
classified as "held-to- maturity",  and totalled $2.5 million. Each security was
issued by GNMA, FHLMC or FNMA.  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  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. Mortgage-backed securities issued
by FHLMC and GNMA make up a majority of the pass-through certificates market.

of our investments.  See Notes 2, and 3 to our financial statements elsewhere in
this document.

Sources of Funds

         Deposits are our major  external  source of funds for lending and other
investment  purposes.  Funds are also  derived  from the  receipt of payments on
loans and  prepayment  of loans and  maturities  of  investment  securities  and
mortgage-backed  securities  and  borrowings  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 our  primary  market area  through  the  offering of a selection  of
deposit instruments including checking accounts, regular savings accounts, money
market accounts,  and term certificate accounts.  IRA accounts are also offered.
The products and services offered by the Bank will not be materially affected by
the conversion.

         Deposit account terms vary according to the minimum  balance  required,
the time period the funds must remain on deposit,  and the interest  rate. ^ The
interest  rates paid by us on deposits  are set weekly at the  direction  of our
senior  management.  Interest  rates  are  determined  based  on  our  liquidity
requirements,  interest rates paid by our competitors,  and our growth goals and
applicable regulatory restrictions and requirements.
    

         Regular savings, money market demand and NOW accounts constituted $14.1
million,  or 39.1%, of our deposit portfolio at March 31, 1998.  Certificates of
deposit  constituted  $19.5  million or 54.0% of the deposit  portfolio of which
$1.7 million or 4.7% of the deposit  portfolio were certificates of deposit with
balances of $100,000 or more. Noninterest-bearing accounts totalled $2.9 million
or 8.3% of our  deposits  at March  31,  1998.  Such  deposits  are  offered  at
negotiated rates. As of March 31, 1998, we had no brokered deposits.

         At March 31, 1998,  our deposits were  represented by the various types
of savings programs described below.

         Borrowings.  Advances (borrowings) may be obtained from the FHLB of New
York to supplement our supply of lendable  funds.  Advances from the FHLB of New
York are  typically  secured by a pledge of our stock in the FHLB of New York, a
portion of our first mortgage  loans and other assets.  Each FHLB credit program
has its own  interest  rate  (which  may be fixed or  adjustable)  and  range of
maturities.  We may borrow up to $9.4 million from the FHLB of New York.  If the
need  arises,  we may also access the Federal  Reserve Bank  discount  window to
supplement  our  supply  of  lendable  funds  and  to  meet  deposit  withdrawal
requirements.  At March 31, 1998 and September 30, 1997, we had no borrowings or
advances  outstanding  from the  FHLB of New  York.  We had no other  borrowings
outstanding.

         The  following  table  sets  forth  the  terms of our  short-term  FHLB
advances.

Competition

         Competition   for   deposits   comes  from  other   insured   financial
institutions  such as commercial  banks,  thrift  institutions,  credit  unions,
finance  companies,   and  multi-state  regional  banks  in  our  market  areas.
Competition for funds 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 commercial banks, thrift  institutions,  credit unions
and mortgage bankers.

Personnel

         At March  31,  1998 we had 14  full-time  employees  and one  part-time
employee.  None of our  employees  are  represented  by a collective  bargaining
group. We believe that our relationship with our employees is good.

Legal Proceedings

         We are, from time to time, a party to legal proceedings  arising in the
ordinary  course of our business,  including  legal  proceedings  to enforce our
rights against borrowers.  We are not a party to any legal proceedings which are
expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial statements.

                                   REGULATION

         Set forth below is a brief  description of certain laws which relate to
us.  The  description  is not  complete  and is  qualified  in its  entirety  by
references to applicable laws and regulation.

Holding Company Regulation

         General. The Company will be required to register and file reports with
the OTS and will be  subject  to  regulation  and  examination  by the  OTS.  In
addition,  the OTS will have  enforcement  authority  over the  Company  and any
non-savings  institution  subsidiaries.  This will permit the OTS to restrict or
prohibit  activities  that  it  determines  to be a  serious  risk  to us.  This
regulation is intended  primarily for the  protection of our  depositors and not
for the benefit of you, as stockholders of the Company.

         QTL Test. Since the Company will only own one savings  institution,  it
will be able to diversify its operations into activities not related to banking,
but only so long as we satisfy the QTL test.  If the Company  controls more than
one savings  institution,  it would lose the ability to diversify its operations
into nonbanking related activities,  unless such other savings institutions each
also  qualify as a QTL or were  acquired in a  supervised  acquisition.  See "--
Savings Institution Regulation -- Qualified Thrift Lender Test."

                                       66

<PAGE>




         Restrictions on Acquisitions. The Company must obtain approval from the
OTS before acquiring control of any other SAIF-insured savings  institution.  No
person may acquire control of a federally  insured savings  institution  without
providing  at least 60 days  written  notice  to the OTS and  giving  the OTS an
opportunity to disapprove the proposed acquisition.

Savings Institution Regulation

         General. As a federally chartered, SAIF-insured savings institution, we
are  subject  to  extensive  regulation  by the OTS and the  FDIC.  Our  lending
activities  and other  investments  must comply with  various  federal and state
statutory and regulatory  requirements.  We are also subject to certain  reserve
requirements promulgated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System
("Federal Reserve").

         The OTS,  in  conjunction  with the  FDIC,  regularly  examines  us and
prepares  reports  for  the  consideration  of our  board  of  directors  on any
deficiencies  that the OTS finds in our operations.  Our  relationship  with our
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 our mortgage documents.

         We  must  file  reports  with  the  OTS and  the  FDIC  concerning  our
activities  and  financial  condition,   in  addition  to  obtaining  regulatory
approvals  prior to entering into certain  transactions  such as mergers with or
acquisitions  of other financial  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.  Any change in regulations,  whether by the OTS, the FDIC or any other
government agency, could have a material adverse impact on our operations.

         Insurance  of Deposit  Accounts.  The FDIC is  authorized  to establish
separate annual  assessment  rates for deposit  insurance for members of the BIF
and the  SAIF.  The  FDIC may  increase  assessment  rates  for  either  fund if
necessary  to restore the fund's  ratio of  reserves to insured  deposits to its
target level within a reasonable time and may decrease such assessment  rates if
such target level has been met. The FDIC has established a risk-based assessment
system for both SAIF and BIF  members.  Under this system,  assessments  are set
within a range, based on the risk the institution poses to its deposit insurance
fund. This risk level is determined based on the institution's capital level and
the FDIC's level of supervisory concern about the institution.

         Because a significant  portion of the assessments paid into the SAIF by
savings  institutions  were  used to pay the cost of prior  savings  institution
failures, the reserves of the SAIF were below the level required by law. The BIF
had,  however,  met its required reserve level during the third calendar quarter
of 1995. As a result, deposit insurance premiums for deposits insured by the BIF
were  substantially  less than  premiums  for  deposits  such as ours  which are
insured by the SAIF.  Legislation  to  capitalize  the SAIF and to eliminate the
significant  premium  disparity  between the BIF and the SAIF  became  effective
September 30, 1996. The recapitalization  plan provided for a special assessment
equal to $.657 per $100 of SAIF  deposits  held at March 31,  1995,  in order to
increase SAIF reserves to the level  required by law.  Certain BIF  institutions
holding  SAIF-insured  deposits were required to pay a lower special assessment.
Based on our deposits at March 31, 1995, we paid a pre-tax special assessment of
$192,000.


                                       67

         The recapitalization plan also provides that the cost of prior failures
which were funded  through the issuance of Fico Bonds (bonds  issued to fund the
cost of savings  institution  failures in prior years) will be shared by members
of both the SAIF and the BIF.  This will  increase BIF  assessments  for healthy
banks to approximately  $.013 per $100 of deposits in 1997. SAIF assessments for
healthy  savings  institutions in 1997 will be  approximately  $.064 per $100 in
deposits  and may be  reduced,  but not  below the  level  set for  healthy  BIF
institutions.

         The FDIC has  lowered  the  rates on  assessments  paid to the SAIF and
widened  the  spread  of those  rates.  The  FDIC's  action  established  a base
assessment  schedule for the SAIF with rates  ranging from 4 to 31 basis points,
and an adjusted  assessment schedule that reduces these rates by 4 basis points.
As a result,  the effective  SAIF rates range from 0 to 27 to basis points as of
October 1, 1996. In addition, the FDIC's final rule prescribed a special interim
schedule of rates  ranging  from 18 to 27 basis points for  SAIF-member  savings
institutions  for the last quarter of calendar 1996, to reflect the  assessments
paid to the Financing Corp. (Fico Bonds). Finally, the FDIC's action established
a procedure  for making  limited  adjustments  to the base  assessment  rates by
rulemaking without notice and comment, for both the SAIF and the BIF.

         The recapitalization  plan also provides for the merger of the SAIF and
BIF effective January 1, 1999, assuming there are no savings  institutions under
federal law. Under separate  proposed  legislation,  Congress is considering the
elimination  of the federal  thrift  charter  and  elimination  of the  separate
federal  regulation  of  thrifts.  As a result,  we might  have to  convert to a
different financial  institution charter and be regulated under federal law as a
bank,  including  being  subject to the more  restrictive  activity  limitations
imposed on national banks. We cannot predict the impact of our conversion to, or
regulation as, a bank until the legislation requiring such change is enacted.

         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) core capital equal to at least 3% of total
adjusted assets, and (3) risk-based  capital equal to 8% of total  risk-weighted
assets. Our capital ratios are set forth under "Historical and Pro Forma Capital
Compliance."

         Tangible capital is defined as core capital less all intangible  assets
(including  supervisory  goodwill),  less certain mortgage  servicing rights and
less certain investments. Core capital is defined as common stockholders' equity
(including  retained  earnings),  noncumulative  perpetual  preferred  stock and
minority interests in the equity accounts of consolidated subsidiaries,  certain
nonwithdrawable accounts and pledged deposits of mutual savings associations and
qualifying supervisory goodwill,  less nonqualifying  intangible assets, certain
mortgage servicing rights and certain investments.

         The risk-based capital standard for savings  institutions  requires the
maintenance of total  risk-based  capital (which is defined as core capital plus
supplementary  capital)  of  8%  of  risk-weighted  assets.  The  components  of
supplementary capital include, among other items, cumulative perpetual preferred
stock,  perpetual  subordinated debt, mandatory  convertible  subordinated debt,
intermediate-term  preferred  stock,  and the portion of the  allowance for loan
losses not designated for specific loan losses. The portion of the allowance for
loan and lease  losses  includable  in  supplementary  capital  is  limited to a
maximum of 1.25% of  risk-weighted  assets.  Overall,  supplementary  capital is
limited  to 100% of core  capital.  A savings  association  must  calculate  its
risk-weighted  assets by multiplying  each asset and  off-balance  sheet item by
various risk factors as determined  by the OTS,  which range from 0% for cash to
100% for delinquent  loans,  property acquired through  foreclosure,  commercial
loans, and other assets.



                                       68

<PAGE>



         The risk-based  capital  standards of the OTS generally require savings
institutions  with more than a "normal"  level of interest rate risk to maintain
additional total capital.  An institution's  interest rate risk will be measured
in terms of the sensitivity of its "net portfolio  value" to changes in interest
rates.  Net  portfolio  value is defined,  generally,  as the  present  value of
expected cash inflows from existing assets and off-balance  sheet contracts less
the present value of expected cash outflows from existing liabilities. A savings
institution  will be considered  to have a "normal"  level of interest rate risk
exposure if the decline in its net portfolio  value after an immediate 200 basis
point increase or decrease in market  interest rates  (whichever  results in the
greater  decline)  is less than two percent of the  current  estimated  economic
value of its assets.  An  institution  with a greater than normal  interest rate
risk will be required to deduct from total capital,  for purposes of calculating
its  risk-based  capital  requirement,   an  amount  (the  "interest  rate  risk
component") equal to one-half the difference between the institution's  measured
interest rate risk and the normal level of interest rate risk, multiplied by the
economic value of its total assets.

         The OTS calculates the  sensitivity of an  institution's  net portfolio
value  with  data  submitted  by the  institution  and the  interest  rate  risk
measurement  model  adopted  by the OTS.  The amount of the  interest  rate risk
component,  if any, to be deducted from an  institution's  total capital will be
based on the  institution's  Thrift Financial Report filed two quarters earlier.
Savings  institutions  with less than $300  million in assets  and a  risk-based
capital ratio above 12% are generally  exempt from filing the interest rate risk
schedule with their Thrift Financial Reports.  However,  the OTS may require any
exempt  institution  that it  determines  may have a high level of interest rate
risk exposure to file such  schedule on a quarterly  basis and may be subject to
an additional capital  requirement based upon its level of interest rate risk as
compared to its peers.  Although  the rule is not yet in effect,  due to our net
size and  risk-based  capital  level,  we are exempt from the interest rate risk
component.

         Dividend and Other Capital  Distribution  Limitations.  OTS regulations
require us to give the OTS 30 days advance notice of any proposed declaration of
dividends to the Company,  and the OTS has the authority  under its  supervisory
powers to prohibit the payment of  dividends by us to the Company.  In addition,
we may not declare or pay a cash  dividend  on our  capital  stock if the effect
would be to reduce our  regulatory  capital  below the amount  required  for the
liquidation  account to be established at the time of the  conversion.  See "The
Conversion -- Effects of Conversion to Stock Form on Depositors and Borrowers of
Peoples Savings Bank -- Liquidation Account."

         OTS regulations  impose  limitations upon all capital  distributions by
savings  institutions,  such  as  cash  dividends,  payments  to  repurchase  or
otherwise acquire its shares, payments to stockholders of another institution in
a cash-out merger,  and other  distributions  charged against capital.  The rule
establishes  three tiers of  institutions  based  primarily on an  institution's
capital  level.  An  institution  that  exceeds  all  fully  phased-in   capital
requirements  before  and  after  a  proposed  capital   distribution  ("Tier  1
institution")  and has not  been  advised  by the OTS that it is in need of more
than the normal  supervision can, after prior notice but without the approval of
the OTS, make capital  distributions during a calendar year equal to the greater
of (i) 100% of its net income to date during the  calendar  year plus the amount
that would reduce by one-half its "surplus  capital  ratio" (the excess  capital
over its fully phased-in capital  requirements) at the beginning of the calendar
year,  or (ii) 75% of its net income over the most recent four  quarter  period.
Any additional  capital  distributions  require prior regulatory  notice.  As of
September 30, 1997, we qualified as a Tier 1 institution.

         In January 1998, the OTS proposed amendments to its current regulations
with  respect  to  capital  distributions  by  savings  associations.  Under the
proposed regulation,  savings associations that would remain at least adequately
capitalized  following the capital  distribution,  and that meet other specified
requirements,  would not be required to file a notice or application for capital
distributions (such as cash dividends)  declared below specified amounts.  Under
the proposed regulation, savings associations which

                                       69

<PAGE>



are eligible for  expedited  treatment  under  current OTS  regulations  are not
required  to file a notice  or an  application  with the OTS if (i) the  savings
association would remain at least adequately  capitalized  following the capital
distribution and (ii) the amount of the capital  distribution does not exceed an
amount equal to the savings association's net income for that year to date, plus
the savings association's  retained net income for the previous two years. Thus,
under the proposed  regulation,  only undistributed net income for the prior two
years may be  distributed in addition to the current  year's  undistributed  net
income without the filing of an application with the OTS.  Savings  associations
which do not qualify for  expedited  treatment or which desire to make a capital
distribution in excess of the specified  amount,  must file an application with,
and obtain the  approval  of, the OTS prior to making the capital  distribution.
Under certain other circumstances, savings associations will be required to file
a notice  with  OTS  prior to  making  the  capital  distribution.  All  savings
associations  which  are  subsidiaries  of  holding  companies,  as we  will  be
following the  Conversion,  will be required to file a notice with the OTS prior
to  making a capital  distribution.  The OTS  proposed  limitations  on  capital
distributions  are similar to the limitations  imposed upon national banks.  The
Association is unable to predict  whether or when the proposed  regulation  will
become effective.

         In the event our capital falls below our fully phased-in requirement or
the OTS  notifies  us that we are in need of more than  normal  supervision,  we
would become a Tier 2 or Tier 3 institution and as a result, our ability to make
capital  distributions  could be  restricted.  Tier 2  institutions,  which  are
institutions that before and after the proposed  distribution meet their current
minimum capital requirements,  may only make capital distributions of up to 75 %
of net income over the most recent four  quarter  period.  Tier 3  institutions,
which are institutions that do not meet current minimum capital requirements and
propose to make any capital  distribution,  and Tier 2 institutions that propose
to make a capital  distribution  in excess of the noted safe harbor level,  must
obtain OTS approval  prior to making such  distribution.  In  addition,  the OTS
could prohibit a proposed capital  distribution by any institution,  which would
otherwise  be  permitted  by the  regulation,  if the OTS  determines  that such
distribution  would  constitute  an  unsafe  or  unsound  practice.  The OTS has
proposed  rules  relaxing   certain   approval  and  notice   requirements   for
well-capitalized institutions.

         A savings institution is prohibited from making a capital  distribution
if,  after  making  the   distribution,   the  savings   institution   would  be
undercapitalized  (i.e.,  not meet  any one of its  minimum  regulatory  capital
requirements).  Further,  a savings  institution  cannot  distribute  regulatory
capital that is needed for its liquidation account.

         Qualified  Thrift  Lender  Test.  Savings   institutions  must  meet  a
qualified  thrift lender  ("QTL") test. If we maintain an  appropriate  level of
qualified  thrift  investments  ("QTIs")  (primarily  residential  mortgages and
related  investments,   including  certain   mortgage-related   securities)  and
otherwise qualify as a QTL, we will continue to enjoy full borrowing  privileges
from the FHLB of New York.  The required  percentage of QTIs is 65% of portfolio
assets  (defined as all assets minus  intangible  assets,  property  used by the
institution  in conducting  its business and liquid assets equal to 10% of total
assets).  Certain  assets  are  subject  to a  percentage  limitation  of 20% of
portfolio assets. In addition,  savings institutions may include shares of stock
of the  FHLBs,  FNMA,  and  FHLMC  as  QTIs.  Compliance  with  the QTL  test is
determined  on a monthly  basis in nine out of every 12 months.  As of March 31,
1998, we were in compliance with our QTL requirement with  approximately  88.06%
of our assets invested in QTIs.

         Transactions With Affiliates.  Generally,  restrictions on transactions
with affiliates require that transactions  between a savings  institution or its
subsidiaries  and  its  affiliates  be on  terms  as  favorable  to the  savings
institution as comparable transactions with non-affiliates. In addition, certain
of these  transactions are restricted to an aggregate  percentage of the savings
institution's capital. Collateral in

                                       70

<PAGE>



specified  amounts  must usually be provided by  affiliates  in order to receive
loans from the  savings  institution.  Within  certain  limits,  affiliates  are
permitted  to  receive  more  favorable  loan  terms  than  non-affiliates.  Our
affiliates  include  the Company  and any  company  which would be under  common
control with us. In addition, a savings institution may not extend credit to any
affiliate  engaged in activities not  permissible  for a bank holding company or
acquire the  securities of any affiliate  that is not a subsidiary.  The OTS has
the discretion to treat  subsidiaries of savings  institution as affiliates on a
case-by-case basis.

         Liquidity  Requirements.  All  savings  institutions  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 institutions.  At March 31, 1998, our required liquid asset
ratio was 4%. Our  average  liquid  asset  ratio at March 31,  1998 was  11.14%.
Monetary  penalties may be imposed upon institutions for violations of liquidity
requirements.

         Federal Home Loan Bank System. We are a member of the FHLB of New York,
which is one of 12 regional FHLBs. Each FHLB serves as a reserve or central bank
for its members within its assigned  region.  It is funded  primarily from funds
deposited  by  savings  institutions  and  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.

         As a member, we are required to purchase and maintain stock in the FHLB
of  New  York  in an  amount  equal  to at  least  1% of  our  aggregate  unpaid
residential  mortgage loans, home purchase  contracts or similar  obligations at
the beginning of each year. At March 31, 1998, we had $261,300 in FHLB stock, at
cost,  which was in compliance with this  requirement.  The FHLB imposes various
limitations  on advances  such as limiting  the amount of certain  types of real
estate  related  collateral  to 30% of a member's  capital  and  limiting  total
advances to a member.

         The FHLBs are required to provide funds for the  resolution of troubled
savings  institutions  and to contribute to affordable  housing programs through
direct loans or interest subsidies on advances targeted for community investment
and  low-  and  moderate-income  housing  projects.   These  contributions  have
adversely  affected the level of FHLB dividends paid and could continue to do so
in the future.

         Federal   Reserve.   The  Federal   Reserve   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 may be used to
satisfy  the  liquidity  requirements  that are imposed by the OTS. At March 31,
1998, our reserve met the minimum level required by the Federal Reserve.

         Savings  institutions have authority to borrow from the Federal Reserve
System "discount  window," but Federal Reserve System policy generally  requires
savings  institutions  to exhaust all other sources  before  borrowing  from the
Federal Reserve System.  We had no borrowings from the Federal Reserve System at
March 31, 1998.

                                    TAXATION

Federal Taxation

         We are subject to the provisions of the Internal  Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended  (the  "Code"),  in the same  general  manner as other  corporations.
Generally,  thrifts  with  $500  million  of  assets  or less may  still use the
experience method in determining  additions to bad debt reserves,  which is also
available to small banks. Larger thrifts must use the specific charge off method
regarding  bad debts.  Any reserve  amounts  added to our bad debt reserve after
1987 will be recaptured into our taxable income over a six year period beginning
in 1996.  A thrift may delay  recapturing  into  income its  post-1987  bad debt
reserves for an  additional  two years if it meets a  residential  lending test.
This recapture will not have a material impact on us.

         Under the experience method, the bad debt deduction may be based on (i)
a six-year  moving  average of actual  losses on qualifying  and  non-qualifying
loans, or (ii) a fill-up to the institution's base year reserve amount, which is
the tax bad debt reserve determined as of September 30, 1987.

         If a savings institution's qualifying assets (generally,  loans secured
by  residential  real estate or deposits,  educational  loans,  cash and certain
government  obligations)  constitute  less  than 60% of its  total  assets,  the
institution may not deduct any addition to a bad debt reserve and generally must
include  existing  reserves  in  income  over  a  four  year  period,  which  is
immediately accruable for financial reporting purposes. As of March 31, 1998, at
least 60% of our  assets  were  qualifying  assets as  defined  in the Code.  No
assurance  can be given  that we will meet the 60% test for  subsequent  taxable
years.

         Earnings  appropriated  to our bad debt  reserve  and  claimed as a tax
deduction  including our supplemental  reserves for losses will not be available
for the payment of cash dividends or for  distribution to you, our  stockholders
(including distributions made on dissolution or liquidation),  unless we include
the amount in income.  Distributable amounts may be reduced by any amount deemed
necessary to pay the resulting  federal income tax. As of September 30, 1997, we
had $241,000 of accumulated  earnings,  representing  our base year tax reserve,
for which federal  income taxes have not been  provided.  If such amount is used
for any purpose other than bad debt losses, including a dividend distribution or
a distribution in  liquidation,  it will be subject to federal income tax at the
then current rate.

         The Code imposes an alternative  minimum tax ("AMT") on a corporation's
alternative  minimum taxable income ("AMTI") at a rate of 20%. AMTI is increased
by certain  preference  items,  including the excess of the tax bad debt reserve
deduction  using the percentage of taxable income method over the deduction that
would have been allowable under the experience  method.  Only 90% of AMTI can be
offset by net operating loss carryovers of which we currently have none. AMTI is
also adjusted by determining the tax treatment of certain items in a manner that
negates the deferral of income resulting from the regular tax treatment of those
items.  Thus,  our AMTI is increased by an amount equal to 75 % of the amount by
which our adjusted current earnings exceeds our AMTI (determined  without regard
to this  adjustment  and  prior  to  reduction  for net  operating  losses).  In
addition,  for  taxable  years  beginning  after  September  30, 1986 and before
January  1,  1996,  an  environmental  tax of 0.12% of the  excess of AMTI (with
certain modifications) over $2 million is imposed on corporations, including us,
whether or not an AMT is paid.  For tax years  beginning  in 1998 a  corporation
that has had average  annual gross receipts of $5 million or less over its 1995,
1996 and 1997 tax years will be a "small  corporation."  Once the corporation is
recognized as a small  corporation it will be exempt from the AMT for so long as
its average  annual  gross  receipts for the prior 3 year period does not exceed
$7,500,000. The Company will be recognized as a small corporation.


                                       72

<PAGE>



         The Company may exclude from its income 100% of dividends received from
us as a member of the same  affiliated  group of  corporations.  A 70% dividends
received  deduction  generally  applies with respect to dividends  received from
corporations that are not members of such affiliated  group,  except that an 80%
dividends  received  deduction  applies if the Company owns more than 20% of the
stock of a corporation paying a dividend.

         Our federal  income tax returns have not been audited by the IRS during
the past ten years.

State Taxation

         The  Association  files New Jersey  income tax returns.  For New Jersey
income tax purposes, savings institutions are presently taxed at a rate of up to
3% of net income,  which is calculated based on federal taxable income,  subject
to certain adjustments.

         Our state tax returns  have not been audited by the State of New Jersey
during the past ten years.


                     MANAGEMENT OF FARNSWORTH BANCORP, INC.

         Our board of directors  consists of the same  individuals  who serve as
directors  of  our   subsidiary,   Peoples  Savings  Bank.  Our  certificate  of
incorporation  and bylaws  require that directors be divided into three classes,
as nearly  equal in number as  possible.  Each class of  directors  serves for a
three-year period,  with  approximately  one-third of the directors elected each
year.  Our  officers  will be  elected  annually  by the  board and serve at the
board's discretion. See "Management of Peoples Savings Bank."


                       MANAGEMENT OF PEOPLES SAVINGS BANK

Directors and Executive Officers

         Our board of directors is composed of seven members each of whom serves
for a term of three years, with approximately one-third of the directors elected
each year.  Our current  charter and bylaws and our proposed  stock  charter and
bylaws require that directors be divided into three classes,  as nearly equal in
number as possible.  Our officers are elected annually by our board and serve at
the board's discretion.

Meetings and Committees of the Board of Directors

         The board of directors  conducts its business  through  meetings of the
board and through activities of its committees.  During the year ended September
30,  1997,  the board of  directors  held 24 regular  meetings  and one  special
meeting.  No director attended fewer than 75% of the total meetings of the board
of directors  and  committees  on which such  director  served  during this time
period.

Director Compensation

         Each  director  is  paid  monthly.  Total  aggregate  fees  paid to the
directors for the year ended  September  30, 1997 were $4,800.  Since October 1,
1997,  each  director  (including  the  chairman  of the  board) has been paid a
monthly fee of $500.

         Directors   Consultant  and  Retirement  Plan  ("DRP").  We  intend  to
establish a DRP which will provide  retirement  benefits to our directors  based
upon the  number of years of  service  to our  board,  which  must be at least 5
years.  If a director  agrees to become a consulting  director to our board upon
retirement,  he or she will  receive  a monthly  payment  of $500 for 5 years or
until  death,  whichever  is earlier.  Benefits  under our DRP will begin upon a
director's retirement.  In the event there is a change in control, all directors
will be presumed to have not less than 5 years of service and each director will
receive  a lump sum  payment  equal to the  present  value  of  future  benefits
payable.

Executive Compensation

         Summary Compensation Table. The following table sets forth the cash and

         Employment Agreement. We have entered into an employment agreement with
our President, Gary N. Pelehaty. Mr. Pelehaty's base salary under the employment
agreement is $90,000.  The employment  agreement has a term of three years.  The
agreement is terminable by us for "just cause" as defined in the  agreement.  If
we  terminate  Mr.  Pelehaty  without  just  cause,  he  will be  entitled  to a
continuation  of his salary from the date of  termination  through the remaining
term of the  agreement  but in no event for a period  of less  than  twenty-four
months. The employment  agreement contains a provision stating that in the event
of the termination of employment in connection with any change in control of us,
Mr.  Pelehaty  will be paid a lump sum amount  equal to 2.99 times his five year
average annual taxable cash  compensation.  If such payments had been made under
the  agreement  as of  September  30,  1997,  such  payments  would have equaled
approximately  $278,000. The aggregate payments that would have been made to Mr.
Pelehaty  would be an expense  to us,  thereby  reducing  our net income and our
capital by that amount.  The agreement  may be renewed  annually by our board of
directors upon a determination  of satisfactory  performance  within the board's
sole  discretion.  If Mr.  Pelehaty shall become disabled during the term of the
agreement, he shall continue to receive payment of 100% of the base salary for a
period of 12 months and 65% of such base salary for the  remaining  term of such
agreement.  Such payments  shall be reduced by any other  benefit  payments made
under other disability programs in effect for our employees.

         Supplemental  Executive  Retirement  Plan.  We  intend to  implement  a
supplemental   executive  retirement  plan  ("SERP")  for  the  benefit  of  our
President,  Mr. Pelehaty. The SERP will provide Mr. Pelehaty with a supplemental
retirement  benefit in addition to benefits under the Bank's 401(k) Plan and the
proposed  ESOP.  Under the SERP, it is anticipated  that an annual  contribution
will  be  made  to a  reserve  equal  to  approximately  10% of  Mr.  Pelehaty's
compensation.  Upon  retirement on or after age 55, Mr. Pelehaty may receive the
value of such  reserve  account  payable  in a  lump-sum  amount or in  periodic
payments  over a ten year  period.  The SERP is unfunded.  All benefits  payable
under  the  SERP  would  be paid  from  our  current  assets.  There  are no tax
consequences to either participant or us related to the SERP prior to payment of
benefits.  Upon receipt of payment of benefits,  the participant  will recognize
taxable  ordinary income in the amount of such payments  received and we will be
entitled to recognize a tax-deductible compensation expense at that time.

   
         Employee Stock  Ownership  Plan. We have  established an employee stock
ownership plan, the ESOP, for the exclusive  benefit of participating  employees
of ours, to be implemented upon the completion of the conversion.  Participating
employees  are  employees  who have  completed one year of service with us ^ and
have attained the age of 21. An application for a letter of  determination as to
the  tax-qualified  status of the ESOP will be submitted to the IRS. Although no
assurances can be given, we expect that the ESOP will receive a favorable letter
of determination from the IRS.
    

         The ESOP is to be funded by contributions  made by us in cash or common
stock.  Benefits may be paid either in shares of the common stock or in cash. In
accordance with the Plan, the ESOP may

                                       76

<PAGE>



borrow  funds with which to acquire up to 8% of the common stock to be issued in
the conversion.  The ESOP intends to borrow funds from the Company.  The loan is
expected to be for a term of ten years at an annual  interest  rate equal to the
prime rate as published in The Wall Street Journal.  Presently it is anticipated
that the ESOP will  purchase  up to 8% of the  common  stock to be issued in the
offering (i.e., 33,200 shares,  based on the midpoint of the EVR). The loan will
be secured by the shares purchased and earnings of ESOP assets. Shares purchased
with such loan proceeds will be held in a suspense  account for allocation among
participants  as the loan is repaid.  We anticipate  contributing  approximately
$33,200  annually  (based on a $332,000  purchase) to the ESOP to meet principal
obligations  under the ESOP loan, as proposed.  It is anticipated  that all such
contributions will be  tax-deductible.  This loan is expected to be fully repaid
in approximately 10 years.

   
         Shares  sold above the  maximum  of the EVR (i.e.,  more than ^ 477,250
shares) may be sold to the ESOP before satisfying  remaining  unfilled orders of
Eligible  Account  Holders  to fill  the  ESOP's  subscription  or the  ESOP may
purchase  some  or all of the  shares  covered  by its  subscription  after  the
conversion in the open market.
    

         Contributions to the ESOP and shares released from the suspense account
will be allocated  among  participants on the basis of total  compensation.  All
participants  must be  employed  at least  1,000  hours in a plan year,  or have
terminated  employment  following death,  disability or retirement,  in order to
receive an allocation.  Participant  benefits become vested in plan  allocations
following  five years of service.  Employment  prior to the adoption of the ESOP
shall be credited for the purposes of vesting.  Vesting will be accelerated upon
retirement,  death, disability, change in control of the Company, or termination
of the ESOP.  Forfeitures  will be reallocated to participants on the same basis
as other  contributions in the plan year. Benefits may be payable in the form of
a lump sum upon retirement,  death,  disability or separation from service.  Our
contributions to the ESOP are  discretionary  and may cause a reduction in other
forms of  compensation.  Therefore,  benefits  payable  under the ESOP cannot be
estimated.

         The board of directors has appointed non-employee directors to the ESOP
Committee to administer the ESOP and to serve as the initial ESOP Trustees.  The
board of  directors  or the  ESOP  Committee  may  instruct  the  ESOP  Trustees
regarding  investments of funds  contributed to the ESOP. The ESOP Trustees must
vote all allocated  shares held in the ESOP in accordance with the  instructions
of the  participating  employees.  Unallocated  shares and allocated  shares for
which no timely  direction  is  received  will be voted by the ESOP  Trustees as
directed  by the  board of  directors  or the  ESOP  Committee,  subject  to the
Trustees' fiduciary duties.

Proposed Future Stock Benefit Plans

   
         Stock  Option  Plan.  The board of  directors  intends to adopt a stock
option plan (the Option Plan) following the  conversion,  subject to approval by
the Company's stockholders, at a stockholders' meeting to be held no sooner than
six months after the conversion. The Option Plan would be in compliance with the
OTS regulations in effect.  See "-- Restrictions on Stock Benefit Plans." If the
Option Plan is implemented  within one year after the conversion,  in accordance
with OTS regulations, a number of shares equal to 10% of the aggregate shares of
common stock to be issued in the offering  (i.e.,  41,500  shares based upon the
sale of  415,000  shares  at the  midpoint  of the EVR)  would be  reserved  for
issuance by the Company upon  exercise of stock options to be granted at no cost
to our  officers,  directors  and  employees  from time to time under the Option
Plan. The purpose of the Option Plan would be to provide additional  performance
and  retention  incentives  to certain  officers,  directors  and  employees  by
facilitating  their purchase of a stock  interest in the Company.  Under the OTS
regulations,  the Option Plan, would provide for a term of 10 years, after which
no awards could be made, unless earlier terminated by the
    

                                       77

<PAGE>



board of directors pursuant to the Option Plan and the options would vest over a
five year  period  (i.e.,  20% per year),  beginning  one year after the date of
grant of the  option.  Options  would be  granted  based upon  several  factors,
including  seniority,  job duties and  responsibilities,  job  performance,  our
financial  performance  and a  comparison  of  awards  given  by  other  savings
institutions converting from mutual to stock form.

   
         The Company would receive no monetary consideration for the granting of
stock  options under the Option Plan. It would receive the option price for each
share issued to optionees upon the exercise of such options. The option price or
"exercise price" can be no less than the market price at the time the option was
granted.  Accordingly,  a value cannot yet be assigned to these  options as they
are  subject to the price of the stock at the date of the option  award.  Shares
issued as a result of the  exercise  of options  will be either  authorized  but
unissued shares or shares purchased in the open market by the Company.  However,
no  purchases  in the open  market  will be made that would  violate  applicable
regulations  restricting  purchases by the Company.  The exercise of options and
payment for the shares received would contribute to the equity of the Company.
    

         If the  Option  Plan is  implemented  more  than  one  year  after  the
conversion,  the Option Plan will comply with OTS  regulations and policies that
are applicable at such time.

   
         Restricted  Stock Plan. The boards of directors intend to adopt the RSP
following  the  conversion,  the  objective  of which is to  enable us to retain
personnel  and  directors  of  experience   and  ability  in  key  positions  of
responsibility.  The Company expects to hold a  stockholders'  meeting no sooner
than six  months  after  the  conversion  in order for  stockholders  to vote to
approve the RSP. If the RSP is implemented within one year after the conversion,
in accordance with applicable OTS regulations,  the shares granted under the RSP
will be in the form of  restricted  stock vesting over a five year period (i.e.,
20% per  year)  beginning  one  year  after  the  date of  grant  of the  award.
Compensation  expense to the  Association in the amount of the fair market value
of the common stock  granted will be  recognized  pro rata over the years during
which the shares are  payable.  Until they have  vested,  such shares may not be
sold,  pledged or  otherwise  disposed of and are required to be held in escrow.
Any shares not so allocated would be voted by the RSP Trustees.  The RSP will be
implemented in accordance with applicable OTS regulations.  See "-- Restrictions
on Stock Benefit Plans." Awards would be granted at no cost to recipients, based
upon a number of factors,  including seniority, job duties and responsibilities,
job  performance,  our  performance  and a  comparison  of awards given by other
institutions converting from mutual to stock form. A value cannot be assigned to
the stock awarded until the stock vests. At vesting,  the value is determined by
the market  price of the  stock.  The RSP would be  managed  by a  committee  of
non-employee  directors  (the "RSP  Trustees").  The RSP Trustees would have the
responsibility  to invest all funds  contributed  by us to the trust created for
the RSP (the "RSP Trust").
    

         We expect  to  contribute  sufficient  funds to the RSP so that the RSP
Trust can  purchase,  in the  aggregate,  up to 4% of the amount of common stock
that is  sold in the  conversion.  The  shares  purchased  by the RSP  would  be
authorized but unissued shares or would be purchased in the open market.  In the
event the market price of the common  stock is greater  than $10 per share,  our
contribution of funds will be increased. Likewise, in the event the market price
is lower than $10 per share, our contribution will be decreased.  In recognition
of their prior and expected services to us and the Company,  as the case may be,
the officers,  other employees and directors  responsible for  implementation of
the policies  adopted by the board of  directors  and our  profitable  operation
will,  without cost to them, be awarded stock under the RSP. Based upon the sale
of 415,000  shares of common  stock in the  offering at the midpoint of the EVR,
the RSP Trust is expected to purchase up to 16,600 shares of common stock.


                                       78

<PAGE>



         If the RSP is implemented more than one year after the conversion,  the
RSP will comply with such OTS  regulations  and policies that are  applicable at
such time.

         Restrictions on Stock Benefit Plans.  OTS  regulations  provide that in
the event stock option or  management  and/or  employee  stock benefit plans are
implemented within one year from the date of conversion,  such plans must comply
with the following  restrictions:  (1) the plans must be fully  disclosed in the
prospectus,  (2) for stock  option  plans,  the total number of shares for which
options  may  be  granted  may  not  exceed  10%  of the  shares  issued  in the
conversion,  (3) for restricted stock plans, the shares may not exceed 3% of the
shares  issued  in the  conversion  (4% for  institutions  with  10% or  greater
tangible  capital),  (4) the aggregate  amount of stock purchased by the ESOP in
the  conversion  may  not  exceed  10%  (8%  for  well-capitalized  institutions
utilizing a 4% restricted  stock plan),  (5) no individual  employee may receive
more than 25% of the  available  awards under the option plan or the  restricted
stock plans,  (6)  directors  who are not employees may not receive more than 5%
individually or 30% in the aggregate of the awards under any plan, (7) all plans
must be approved  by a majority  of the total  votes  eligible to be cast at any
duly  called  meeting of the  Company's  stockholders  held no earlier  than six
months following the conversion,  (8) for stock option plans, the exercise price
must be at least  equal to the  market  price of the stock at the time of grant,
(9) for restricted  stock plans,  no stock issued in a conversion may be used to
fund the plan, (10) neither stock option awards nor restricted  stock awards may
vest earlier than 20% as of one year after the date of stockholder  approval and
20% per year  thereafter,  and  vesting may be  accelerated  only in the case of
disability or death (or if not  inconsistent  with applicable OTS regulations in
effect  at such  time,  in the  event of a change  in  control),  (11) the proxy
material  must clearly  state that the OTS in no way endorses or approves of the
plans,  and (12) prior to implementing the plans, all plans must be submitted to
the  Regional  Director of the OTS within five days after  stockholder  approval
with a certification  that the plans approved by the  stockholders  are the same
plans that were filed with and disclosed in the proxy materials  relating to the
meeting at which stockholder approval was received.

         Certain Related Transactions. We grant loans to our officers, directors
and employees.  These loans are made in the ordinary course of business and upon
the  same  terms,  including  collateral,  as those  prevailing  at the time for
comparable  transactions  and do not  involve  more  than  the  normal  risk  of
collectibility or present any other unfavorable features.  Loans to officers and
directors  and their  affiliates  amounted to $219,000,  or 9.8% of our retained
earnings at March 31, 1998.  Assuming the  conversion  had occurred at September
30, 1997 with the issuance of 415,000  shares,  these loans would have  totalled
approximately 3.9% of pro forma consolidated stockholders' equity.

             RESTRICTIONS ON ACQUISITION OF FARNSWORTH BANCORP, INC.

         While the board of  directors  is not aware of any effort that might be
made to obtain control of the Company after  conversion,  the board of directors
believes that it is  appropriate  to include  certain  provisions as part of the
Company's  certificate of  incorporation to protect the interests of the Company
and its stockholders from hostile takeovers  ("anti-takeover"  provisions) which
the board of directors  might conclude are not in our best interests or those of
our stockholders.  These provisions may have the effect of discouraging a future
takeover  attempt  which is not  approved  by the board of  directors  but which
individual  stockholders  may deem to be in  their  best  interests  or in which
stockholders may receive a substantial premium for their shares over the current
market prices. As a result, stockholders who might desire to participate in such
a transaction  may not have the  opportunity to do so. Such provisions will also
render the  removal of the  current  board of  directors  or  management  of the
Company more difficult.

         The  following   discussion  is  a  general  summary  of  the  material
provisions  of the  certificate  of  incorporation,  bylaws,  and certain  other
regulatory  provisions  of the  Company,  which  may be  deemed  to have such an
anti-takeover effect. The description of these provisions is necessarily general
and reference  should be made in each case to the  certificate of  incorporation
and  bylaws  of the  Company  which are filed as  exhibits  to the  registration
statement of which this prospectus is a part. See "Where You Can Find Additional
Information" as to how to obtain a copy of these documents.

Provisions of the Company Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws

         Limitations on Voting Rights.  The certificate of  incorporation of the
Company provides that after completion of the conversion,  in no event shall any
record  owner of any  outstanding  common  stock  which is  beneficially  owned,
directly or indirectly,  by a person who  beneficially  owns in excess of 10% of
the then  outstanding  shares of common  stock (the  "Limit"),  be  entitled  or
permitted  to any vote in respect of the shares held in excess of the Limit.  In
addition,  for a period of five years from the completion of our conversion,  no
person may  directly or  indirectly  offer to acquire or acquire the  beneficial
ownership  of more than 10% of any class of an equity  security  of the  Company
without the approval of the Company's continuing directors.

         The impact of these  provisions on the  submission of a proxy on behalf
of a beneficial  holder of more than 10% of the common stock is (1) to disregard
for  voting  purposes  and  require  divestiture  of the amount of stock held in
excess  of 10% (if  within  five  years of the  conversion  more than 10% of the
common  stock is  beneficially  owned by a  person),  and (2)  limit the vote on
common stock held by the beneficial  owner to 10% or possibly  reduce the amount
that may be voted  below the 10% level (if more than 10% of the common  stock is
beneficially  owned by a person  more than  five  years  after the  conversion).
Unless the grantor of a revocable  proxy is an affiliate or an associate of such
a 10% holder or there is an arrangement,  agreement or understanding with such a
10% holder, these provisions would not restrict the ability of such a 10% holder
of revocable  proxies to exercise  revocable proxies for which the 10% holder is
neither  a record  owner  nor  otherwise  a  beneficial  owner.  A  person  is a
beneficial  owner of a security if he has the power to vote or direct the voting
of all or part of the voting rights of the security, or has the power to dispose
of or direct the disposition of the security.  The certificate of  incorporation
of the Company further  provides that this provision  limiting voting rights may
only be amended upon the vote of 80% of the outstanding shares of voting stock.

         Election of Directors.  Certain provisions of the Company's certificate
of incorporation and bylaws will impede changes in majority control of the board
of directors.  The Company's articles of incorporation provide that the board of
directors  of the Company  will be divided into three  staggered  classes,  with
directors in each class elected for  three-year  terms.  Thus, it would take two
annual  elections to replace a majority of the  Company's  board.  The Company's
certificate  of  incorporation  provides that the size of the board of directors
may be increased or decreased  only if approved by a vote of  two-thirds  of the
whole board of directors.  The bylaws also provide that any vacancy occurring in
the board of directors, including a vacancy created by an increase in the number
of directors, may be filled only by the board of directors, acting by a majority
vote of the  directors  then in office  and any  director  so chosen  shall hold
office until the next  succeeding  annual  election of directors.  Finally,  the
articles of  incorporation  and the bylaws impose certain notice and information
requirements in connection with the nomination by stockholders of candidates for
election to the board of directors or the proposal by  stockholders  of business
to be acted upon at an annual meeting of stockholders.

         The certificate of  incorporation  provides that a director may only be
removed for cause by the  affirmative  vote of at least 80% of the shares of the
Company entitled to vote generally in an election of directors cast at a meeting
of stockholders called for that purpose.

                                       80

<PAGE>




         Restrictions   on  Call  of  Special   Meetings.   The  certificate  of
incorporation of the Company provides that a special meeting of stockholders may
be called only  pursuant to a  resolution  adopted by a majority of the board of
directors,  or by a committee of the board of directors  which is  authorized to
call such meetings, or by the President of the Company.

         Absence  of   Cumulative   Voting.   The   Company's   certificate   of
incorporation  provides that  stockholders  may not cumulate  their votes in the
election of directors.

         Authorized  Shares.  The  certificate of  incorporation  authorizes the
issuance of 5,000,000  shares of common stock and 1,000,000  shares of preferred
stock.  The shares of common stock and  preferred  stock were  authorized  in an
amount greater than that to be issued in the conversion to provide the Company's
board of directors with as much  flexibility as possible to effect,  among other
transactions,  financings,  acquisitions,  stock dividends, stock splits and the
exercise of stock options.  However, these additional authorized shares may also
be used by the board of directors  consistent  with its fiduciary  duty to deter
future attempts to gain control of the Company.  The board of directors also has
sole  authority  to  determine  the terms of any one or more series of preferred
stock, including voting rights,  conversion rates, and liquidation  preferences.
As a result of the ability to fix voting rights for a series of preferred stock,
the board has the power,  to the extent  consistent  with its fiduciary duty, to
issue a series of preferred stock to persons  friendly to management in order to
attempt to block a post  tender  offer  merger or other  transaction  by which a
third party seeks control, and thereby assist management to retain its position.

         Procedures  for  Certain  Business  Combinations.  The  certificate  of
incorporation  requires  that  unless  certain  fair price  provisions  are met,
business  combinations  with any interested  stockholder must be approved by the
affirmative vote of the holders of not less than 80% of the outstanding stock of
the  Company  not  beneficially  owned  by the  interested  stockholder,  or the
business combination must be approved by the continuing directors of the Company
and then by the Company's stockholders. Any amendment to this provision requires
the  affirmative  vote of at least 80% of the shares of the Company  entitled to
vote generally in an election of directors.

         Amendment to Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws. Amendments to the
Company's  certificate of incorporation  must be approved by the Company's board
of directors and also by a majority of the  outstanding  shares of the Company's
voting  stock,  provided,  however,  that  approval  by  at  least  80%  of  the
outstanding  voting stock is required for certain  provisions (i.e.,  provisions
relating to  restrictions  on the  acquisition and voting of greater than 10% of
the common  stock;  number,  classification,  election and removal of directors;
amendment of bylaws; call of special stockholder  meetings;  director liability;
certain  business  combinations;  power of  indemnification;  and  amendments to
provisions relating to the foregoing in the certificate of incorporation).

         The  bylaws  may be  amended  by a  two-thirds  vote  of the  board  of
directors  or  the  affirmative  vote  of the  holders  of at  least  80% of the
outstanding shares of the Company entitled to vote in the election of directors,
cast at a meeting called for that purpose.

         Benefit  Plans.   In  addition  to  the  provisions  of  the  Company's
certificates of incorporation and bylaws described above, certain of our benefit
plans adopted in connection  with the conversion  contain  provisions  which may
also  discourage  hostile  takeover  attempts which the board of directors might
conclude are not in our best  interests in those of or our  stockholders.  For a
description  of the benefit plans and the  provisions of such plans  relating to
changes in control,  see  "Management of Peoples Savings Bank -- Proposed Future
Stock Benefit Plans."

         Regulatory  Restrictions.  A federal  regulation  prohibits  any person
prior to the completion of a conversion from transferring,  or entering into any
agreement or understanding to transfer, the legal or beneficial ownership of the
subscription  rights issued under a plan of conversion or the stock to be issued
upon the exercise of such rights.  This  regulation  also  prohibits  any person
prior to the completion of a conversion from offering, or making an announcement
of an offer or intent to make an offer, to purchase such subscription  rights or
stock.  For three years  following  conversion,  OTS  regulations  prohibit  any
person, without the prior approval of the OTS, from acquiring or making an offer
to acquire more than 10% of the stock of any converted  savings  institution  if
such  person  is,  or after  consummation  of such  acquisition  would  be,  the
beneficial  owner of more than 10% of such stock.  In the event that any person,
directly or indirectly,  violates this regulation,  the securities  beneficially
owned by such person in excess of 10% shall not be counted as shares entitled to
vote and  shall  not be voted by any  person  or  counted  as  voting  shares in
connection with any matter submitted to a vote of stockholders.

         Federal  regulations  require  that,  prior to obtaining  control of an
insured institution, a person, other than a company, must give 60 days notice to
the OTS and have received no OTS objection to such acquisition of control, and a
company  must apply for and receive OTS  approval of the  acquisition.  Control,
involves a 25% voting  stock  test,  control in any manner of the  election of a
majority of the institution's  directors, or a determination by the OTS that the
acquiror  has the power to direct,  or  directly  or  indirectly  to  exercise a
controlling  influence  over,  the  management  or policies of the  institution.
Acquisition of more than 10% of an  institution's  voting stock, if the acquiror
also is subject to any one of either "control factors," constitutes a rebuttable
determination of control under the regulations. The determination of control may
be rebutted by submission to the OTS,  prior to the  acquisition of stock or the
occurrence of any other circumstances  giving rise to such  determination,  of a
statement  setting forth facts and  circumstances  which would support a finding
that no control relationship will exist and containing certain undertakings. The
regulations provide that persons or companies which acquire beneficial ownership
exceeding  10% or more of any class of a savings  association's  stock after the
effective date of the regulations  must file with the OTS a  certification  that
the holder is not in control of such institution, is not subject to a rebuttable
determination  of  control  and will  take no  action  which  would  result in a
determination or rebuttable  determination of control without prior notice to or
approval of the OTS, as applicable.

                          DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

         The Company is  authorized to issue  5,000,000  shares of common stock,
$0.10 par value per share, and 1,000,000 shares of serial preferred stock, $0.10
par value per share. The Company currently expects to issue up to 548,838 shares
of common  stock in the  conversion.  The  Company  does not intend to issue any
shares of serial  preferred stock in the  conversion,  nor are there any present
plans to issue such preferred stock following the conversion.  The aggregate par
value of the issued shares will  constitute the capital  account of the Company.
The balance of the purchase  price will be recorded for  accounting  purposes as
additional  paid-in  capital.  See  "Capitalization."  The capital  stock of the
Company will  represent  nonwithdrawable  capital and will not be insured by us,
the FDIC, or any other governmental agency.

Common Stock

         Voting  Rights.  Each  share of the  common  stock  will  have the same
relative  rights and will be identical in all respects with every other share of
the common stock. The holders of the common stock will possess  exclusive voting
rights in the  Company,  except to the extent  that  shares of serial  preferred
stock  issued in the future may have  voting  rights.  Each holder of the common
stock will be entitled to

                                       82

<PAGE>



only one vote for each share held of record on all matters  submitted  to a vote
of holders of the common  stock and holders  will not be  permitted  to cumulate
their votes in the election of the Company's directors.

         Liquidation.  In the  unlikely  event of the  complete  liquidation  or
dissolution of the Company,  the holders of the common stock will be entitled to
receive all assets of the Company available for distribution in cash or in kind,
after payment or provision for payment of (i) all debts and  liabilities  of the
Company; (ii) any accrued dividend claims; and (iii) liquidation  preferences of
any serial preferred stock which may be issued in the future.

         Restrictions on Acquisition of the Common Stock.  See  "Restrictions on
Acquisition of Farnsworth Bancorp,  Inc." for a discussion of the limitations on
acquisition of shares of the common stock.

         Other  Characteristics.  Holders  of the  common  stock  will  not have
preemptive  rights with  respect to any  additional  shares of the common  stock
which may be issued.  Accordingly,  the board of  directors  may sell  shares of
capital  stock of the Company  without  first  offering  such shares to existing
stockholders  of the  Company.  The  common  stock  is not  subject  to call for
redemption,  and the  outstanding  shares of common  stock when  issued and upon
receipt by the Company of the full purchase price  therefor,  will be fully paid
and non-assessable.

         Issuance of  Additional  Shares.  Except in the  offering  and possibly
pursuant to the RSP or Option Plan, the Company has no present plans, proposals,
arrangements or  understandings  to issue  additional  authorized  shares of the
common stock. In the future,  the authorized but unissued and unreserved  shares
of the common stock will be available for general corporate purposes, including,
but  not  limited  to,  possible  issuance:  (i) as  stock  dividends;  (ii)  in
connection   with  mergers  or   acquisitions;   (iii)  under  a  cash  dividend
reinvestment  or stock purchase plan; (iv) in a public or private  offering;  or
(v) under employee benefit plans. See "Risk Factors -- Possible  Dilutive Effect
of RSP and Stock Options" and "Pro Forma Data." Normally no stockholder approval
would be required for the issuance of these shares,  except as described  herein
or as otherwise required to approve a transaction in which additional authorized
shares of the common stock are to be issued.

         For  additional   information,   see   "Dividends,"   "Regulation"  and
"Taxation" with respect to  restrictions on the payment of cash dividends;  "The
Conversion  --  Restrictions  on Sales and  Purchases of Shares by Directors and
Officers"  relating to certain  restrictions  on the  transferability  of shares
purchased by directors  and  officers;  and  "Restrictions  on  Acquisitions  of
Farnsworth Bancorp,  Inc." for information  regarding  restrictions on acquiring
common stock of the Company.

Serial Preferred Stock

         None of the 1,000,000  authorized  shares of serial  preferred stock of
the Company will be issued in the conversion. After the conversion is completed,
the  board of  directors  of the  Company  will be  authorized  to issue  serial
preferred stock and to fix and state voting powers, designations, preferences or
other  special  rights of such shares and the  qualifications,  limitations  and
restrictions  thereof,  subject to regulatory approval,  but without stockholder
approval. If and when issued, the serial preferred stock is likely to rank prior
to the common stock as to dividend rights, liquidation preferences, or both, and
may  have  full or  limited  voting  rights.  The  board of  directors,  without
stockholder  approval,   can  issue  serial  preferred  stock  with  voting  and
conversion  rights which could adversely  affect the voting power of the holders
of the common stock.  The board of directors  has no present  intention to issue
any of the serial preferred stock.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
                          ----------------------------


   
I have audited the  accompanying  statements  of financial  condition of Peoples
Savings Bank as of September  30, 1997 and 1996,  and the related  statements of
income,  retained  earnings  and cash  flows for the  years  then  ended.  These
financial  statements  are  the  responsibility  of the  Bank's  management.  My
responsibility  is to express an opinion on these financial  statements based on
my audits.
    

I conducted my audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing  standards.
Those standards  require that I 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.
I believe that my audits provide a reasonable basis for my opinion.

In my opinion,  the financial  statements  referred to above present fairly , in
all  material  respects,  the  financial  position  of Peoples  Savings  Bank at
September 30, 1997 and 1996,  and the results of its  operations  and cash flows
for the years  then  ended in  conformity  with  generally  accepted  accounting
principles.

1.    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
      ------------------------------------------

      Basis of Financial Statement 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  amount of assets and  liabilities  as of the date of the balance
      sheet and revenues and expenses for the period then ended.  Actual results
      could differ  significantly from those estimates.  Material estimates that
      are  particularly  susceptible  to  significant  changes  in the near term
      relate  to the  determination  of  the  allowance  for  loan  losses,  the
      valuation of foreclosed real estate and the assessment of prepayment risks
      associated with mortgage-backed  securities.  Management believes that the
      allowance  for  loan  losses  is  adequate,   foreclosed  real  estate  is
      appropriately  valued and prepayment risks associated with mortgage-backed
      securities  are  properly  recognized.  While  management  uses  available
      information  to  recognize  losses on loans and  foreclosed  real  estate,
      future additions to the allowance for loan losses or further writedowns of
      foreclosed  real  estate may be  necessary  based on  changes in  economic
      conditions  in the market area.  Additionally,  assessments  of prepayment
      risks related to mortgage-backed  securities are based upon current market
      conditions, which are subject to frequent change.

      In addition,  various  regulatory  agencies,  as an integral part of their
      examination  process,  periodically  review the Bank's  allowance for loan
      losses and foreclosed  real estate.  Such agencies may require the Bank to
      recognize  additions  to the  allowance  for  loan  losses  or  additional
      writedowns  on  foreclosed  real estate  based on their  judgements  about
      information available to them at the time of their examination.
   
      The unaudited interim financial  statements,  as of and for the six months
      ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, reflect all adjustments (consisting of only
      normal  reoccurring  accruals)  which,  in the opinion of management,  are
      necessary to present fairly the results for the interim  periods.  Results
      of  interim  periods  are not  necessarily  indicative  of  results  to be
      expected for the full year.
    

      Concentration of Risk
      ---------------------

      The Bank's lending and real estate activity is concentrated in real estate
      and loans secured by real estate  located in the State of New Jersey.  The
      Bank's loan portfolio is predominantly made up of 1 to 4 family unit first
      mortgage loans in Burlington County.  These loans are typically secured by
      first lien  positions on the  respective  real estate  properties  and are
      subject to the Bank's loan underwriting  policies.  In general, the Bank's
      loan   portfolio   performance   is  dependent  upon  the  local  economic
      conditions.

      Interest-rate Risk
      ------------------

      The Bank is  principally  engaged in the business of  attracting  deposits
      from the general  public and using these deposits to make loans secured by
      real  estate  and,  to a lesser  extent,  consumer  loans and to  purchase
      mortgage-backed and investment securities. The potential for interest-rate
      risk  exists  as  a  result  of  the   shorter   duration  of  the  Bank's
      interest-sensitive  liabilities  compared to the generally longer duration
      of  interest-sensitive  assets.  In a rising  interest  rate  environment,
      liabilities  will reprice faster than assets,  thereby reducing the market
      value of  long-term  assets  and net  interest  income.  For this  reason,
      management  regularly monitors the maturity structure of the Bank's assets
      and liabilities in order to measure its level of interest-rate risk and to
      plan for future volatility.

      Cash Equivalents
      ----------------

      For the purpose of presentation in the statements of cash flows,  cash and
      cash   equivalents   are  defined  as  those   amounts   included  in  the
      balance-sheet caption "cash and due from banks."

                                   (Continued)

1.    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
      ------------------------------------------

      Investment and Mortgaged-backed Securities
      ------------------------------------------

      The  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  (FASB)  issued  Statement of
      Financial  Accounting  Standards  (SFAS) No. 115  "Accounting  for Certain
      Investments  in Debt and Equity  Securities"  which is effective for years
      beginning   after  December  15,  1993.   This  statement   requires  that
      investments in debt and equity  securities  owned shall be classified into
      one of three categories: held-to-maturity, available-for-sale, or trading.
      the Bank's  investments in securities are classified in two categories and
      accounted for as follows:

      o  Securities Held to Maturity.  Bond,s notes and debentures for which the
         Bank has the  positive  intent  and  ability  to hold to  maturity  are
         reported at cost,  adjusted for  amortization of premiums and accretion
         of discounts which are recognized in interest income using the interest
         method over the period to maturity.

      o  Securities Available for Sale. Securities available for sale consist of
         certain  debt  and  equity  securities  not  classified  as  trading or
         securities to be held to maturity.

      Declines in the fair value of  individual  held to maturity and  available
      for sale  securities  below their cost that are other than  temporary will
      result in write-downs  of the  individual  securities to their fair value.
      The related write-downs will be included in earnings as realized losses.

      Unrealized holding gains and losses,  net of tax, on securities  available
      for sale are  reported as a net amount in a separate  component  of equity
      until realized.

      Gains  and  losses  on the  sale of  securities  available  for  sale  are
      determined using the specific-identification method.

      Premiums  and  discounts  are  recognized  in  interest  income  using the
      interest method over the period to maturity.

      Loans Receivable
      ----------------
   
      Loans  receivable that management has the intent and ability to hold until
      maturity or pay-off are reported at their outstanding  principal  adjusted
      for any charge-offs,  the allowance for loan losses, and any deferred fees
      or costs on  originated  loans and  unamortized  premiums or  discounts on
      purchased loans.

      Discounts  and  premiums on  purchased  residential  real estate loans are
      amortized to income using the interest method over the remaining period to
      contractual maturity, adjusted for anticipated prepayments.  Discounts and
      premiums on  purchased  consumer  loans are  recognized  over the expected
      lives of the loans using the interest method.

      Loan origination fees and certain direct origination costs are capitalized
      and recognized as an adjustment of the yield over the contractual  life of
      the loan.
    

      Effective  October 1, 1995,  the Savings Bank adopted FASB  Statements No.
      114,  "Accounting  by Creditors  for  Impairment  of a Loan," and No. 118,
      "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan - Income Recognition and
      Disclosures."  The  provisions of these  statements  are applicable to all
      loans, uncollateralized as well as collateralized,  except large groups of
      smaller- balance  homogeneous  loans that are  collectively  evaluated for
      impairment  and loans that are  measured  at fair value or at the lower of
      cost or fair value.  Loans classified as impaired are to be measured based
      on the present value

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Continued)

      ------------------------------------------

      Loans Receivable (Continued)
      ----------------

      of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective  interest
      rate, or as a practical  expedient,  at the loan's observable market price
      or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. A
      loan  evaluated  for  impairment  is deemed to be  impaired  when based on
      current  information and events, it is probable that the Savings Bank will
      be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of
      the loan  agreement.  All  loans  identified  as  impaired  are  evaluated
      independently.  No loans were  identified  as impaired as of September 30,
      1997 and 1996, respectively.

      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.

      The  accrual of  interest  on  impaired  loans is  discontinued  when,  in
      management's  opinion, the borrower may be unable to meet payments as they
      become due.  When interest  accrual is  discontinued,  all unpaid  accrued
      interest is reversed.  Interest income is subsequently  recognized only to
      the extent cash payments are received.

      Premises and Equipment
      ----------------------

      Land is carried at cost.  Bank  premises and equipment are carried at cost
      less accumulated  depreciation and amortization.  Significant  renovations
      and  additions  are  capitalized.  When  assets are  retired or  otherwise
      disposed  of, the cost and related  accumulated  depreciation  are removed
      from the  accounts and any  resulting  gain or loss is reflected in income
      for the period.  The cost of maintenance and repairs is charged to expense
      as incurred.  The Bank computes depreciation on a straight-line basis over
      the estimated useful lives of the assets.

      Foreclosed Real Estate
      ----------------------

      Real estate properties  acquired through,  or in lieu of, loan foreclosure
      are  initially  recorded at the lower of cost or fair value at the date of
      foreclosure. Costs relating to development and improvement of property are
      capitalized,  whereas  costs  relating  to the  holding  of  property  are
      expensed.  Valuations are  periodically  performed by  management,  and an
      allowance  for  losses is  established  by a charge to  operations  if the
      carrying value of a property exceeds its fair value less estimated selling
      cost.  Gains and losses from sale of these  properties  are  recognized as
      they occur. Income from operating  properties is recorded in operations as
      earned.

      Income Taxes
      ------------

      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 a change  in tax  rates is
      recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date of any
      law change.

      Deferred  income  taxes  are  recognized  for  differences  in the time of
      recording  significant  items  of  income  and  expense  in the  financial
      accounting  records  and their  inclusion  in or  deduction  from  taxable
      income.

      Interest is payable on these advances at rates ranging from 5.54% to 5.86%
      with  maturities  due October and  December of 1996.  These  advances  are
      collateralized by Federal Home Loan Bank stock,  investments in securities
      and mortgages.  The Association has $9,684,527  (unaudited) and $9,404,651
      available for borrowing as of March 31, 1998 and September 30, 1997.

9.    Retained Earnings
      -----------------

   
      In  connection  with  the  insurance  of  savings  accounts  the  Bank has
      maintained  general reserves which may be used only for absorbing  losses.
      These reserves do not reflect amounts of losses  actually  anticipated and
      the appropriations  thereto have not been charged against tax income. Such
      reserves  represent a  restriction  on retained  earnings of the Bank.  At
      March 31, 1998  (unaudited)  and September 30, 1997 and 1996, this reserve
      was $306,008.

11.   Income Taxes
      ------------

      The Bank has qualified as a Savings  Institution  under  provisions of the
      Internal  Revenue Code. Prior to January 1, 1996 the bank was permitted to
      deduct  from  taxable  income  an  allowance  for  bad  debts  based  on a
      percentage-  of-taxable-income,  the rate was 8%  before  such  deduction.
      Retained earnings at March 31, 1998,  September 30, 1997 and 1996 included
      untaxed  earnings  of  approximately  $489,704,   $489,704  and  $472,905,
      representing such bad debt deductions.

      On August 21,  1996,  legislation  was signed into law which  repealed the
      percentage  of  taxable  income  method for tax bad debt  deductions.  The
      repeal is effective for the Bank's taxable year beginning October 1, 1996.
      In  addition,  the  legislation  requires  the Bank to  include in taxable
      income its bad debt  reserves in excess of its base year  reserves  over a
      six, seven, or eight year period  depending upon the attainment of certain
      loan origination levels. Since the percentage of taxable income method for
      federal  tax bad debt  deductions  and the  corresponding  increase in the
      Federal  tax bad debt  reserve  in  excess  of the  base  year  have  been
      reflected as temporary  differences  pursuant to FASB  Statement  No. 109,
      with deferred  income taxes recorded  thereon,  this change in the tax law
      did not have a material adverse effect on the Bank's financial position or
      operations.

      Retained  earnings  at March 31,  1998 and  September  30,  1997  includes
      approximately  $241,000 of tax bad debt  deductions  which,  in accordance
      with FASB Statement No. 109, are considered a permanent difference between
      the book and income tax basis of loans  receivable,  and for which  income
      taxes have not been  provided.  If such amount is used for purposes  other
      than bad debt losses,  including distributions in liquidation,  it will be
      subject to income tax at the then current rate.

      The  provision  for  federal  and state  income  taxes  differs  from that
      computed at the statutory graduated rates as follows:

      the letters of credit are utilized.  The value of all four letters  totals
      $198,418.  The institution  also has lines of credit with undrawn balances
      of $368,034.

13.   Lease Commitments
      -----------------

      At  September  30, 1997,  the Bank was  obligated  under a  noncancellable
      operating lease for a vehicle.  This lease requiring  monthly  payments of
      $432 expired  October 15, 1997. A new vehicle lease was signed  October 9,
      1997.  The terms of the new lease  are $477 per month for 24  months.  Net
      rent expense under the operating  lease,  included in automobile  expense,
      was  approximately  $2,862 and $2,592 for the six months  ended  March 31,
      1998 and 1997 and $5,189 and $4,127 for the years ended September 30, 1997
      and 1996, respectively. Future minimum lease payments are as follows:

14.   Financial Instruments
      ---------------------

      Off-Balance-Sheet Instruments
      -----------------------------

      Fair values for  off-balance-sheet  lending  commitments are based on fees
      currently  charged to enter into similar  agreements,  taking into account
      the  remaining  terms of the  agreements  and the  counterparties'  credit
      standings.

      Fair Values of Financial Instruments
      ------------------------------------

      The following  methods and assumptions were used by the Bank in estimating
      fair values of financial instruments as disclosed herein:

         Cash and Short-Term Instruments
         -------------------------------

         The carrying  amounts of cash and  short-term  instruments  approximate
         their fair value.

         Available-for-Sale and Held-to-Maturity Securities
         --------------------------------------------------

         Fair values for securities, excluding restricted equity securities, are
         based on quoted market prices. The carrying values of restricted equity
         securities approximate fair values.

         Loans Receivable
         ----------------

         For variable-rate loans that reprice frequently and have no significant
         change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying  values.  Fair
         values for certain mortgage loans and other consumer loans are based on
         quoted  market  prices  of  similar  loans  sold  in  conjunction  with
         securitization   transactions,   adjusted  for   differences   in  loan
         characteristics.  Fair values for commercial real estate and commercial
         loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using interest
         rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers
         of similar credit quality. Fair values for impaired loans are estimated
         using discounted cash flows analyses or underlying  collateral  values,
         where applicable.

      ---------------------

      Fair Values of Financial Instruments (Continued)
      ------------------------------------

         Deposit Liabilities
         -------------------

         The fair values disclosed for demand deposits are, by definition, equal
         to the amount  payable on demand at the  reporting  date.  The carrying
         amounts  of  variable-rate,   fixed-term   money-market   accounts  and
         certificates  of deposit  (CDs)  approximate  their fair  values at the
         reporting  date.  Fair values for fixed-rate CDs are estimated  using a
         discounted cash flow  calculation that applies interest rates currently
         being  offered on  certificates  to a schedule of  aggregated  expected
         monthly maturities on time deposits.

         Short-Term Borrowings
         ---------------------

         The carrying amounts of federal funds  purchased,  and other short-term
         borrowings  maturing within 90 days approximate their fair values. Fair
         values of other  short-term  borrowings are estimated using  discounted
         cash flow analyses  based on the Bank's current  incremental  borrowing
         rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.

         Long-Term Debt
         --------------

         The fair  values  of the  Bank's  long-term  debt are  estimated  using
         discounted  cash flow analyses based on the Bank's current  incremental
         borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.

         Accrued Interest
         ----------------

         The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate their fair values.

         Other Off-Balance-Sheet Instruments
         -----------------------------------

         In  the  ordinary   course  of  business  the  Bank  has  entered  into
         off-balance- sheet financial  instruments  consisting of commitments to
         extend  credit  AND  commercial  letters  of  credit.   Such  financial
         instruments  are  recorded in the  financial  statements  when they are
         funded or related fees are incurred or received.

      The Bank is a party to financial instruments with  off-balance-sheet  risk
      in the  normal  course  of  business  to meet  the  financing  need of its
      customers and to reduce its own exposure to fluctuation in interest rates.
      These  financial   instruments   include  commitments  to  extend  credit.
      Commitments  to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long
      as  there  is no  violation  of any  condition  established  in  the  loan
      agreement.  These commitments are comprised of the undisbursed  portion of
      construction  loans and residential loan origination.  The Bank's exposure
      to credit loss from  nonperformance  by the other  party to the  financial
      instruments  for  commitments  to  extend  credit  is  represented  by the
      contractual  amount of those  instruments.  The Bank uses the same  credit
      policies in making commitments and conditional  obligations as it does for
      on-balance-sheet instruments.  Generally,  collateral, usually in the form
      of real estate, is required to support  financial  instruments with credit
      risk.

      The Bank's exposure to credit loss in the event of  nonperformance  by the
      other party to the financial  statement for  commitments to extend credit,
      standby letters of credit, and financial guarantees written is represented
      by the contractual notional amount of those instruments. The Bank uses the
      same credit policies in making commitments and conditional  obligations as
      it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.

      Unless  noted  otherwise,  the Bank does not require  collateral  or other
      security to support financial instruments with credit risk.

14.   Financial Instruments (Continued)
      ---------------------

      Commitments  to Extend Credit and  Financial  Guarantees.  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. Since many of the  commitments  are expected to
      expire without being drawn upon by customers, the total commitment amounts
      do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.  The Bank evaluates
      each customer's credit  worthiness on a case-by-case  basis. The amount of
      collateral obtained,  if it is deemed necessary by the Bank upon extension
      of credit,  is based on  management's  credit  evaluation  of the  counter
      party.  Collateral  held  varies  but  may  include  accounts  receivable;
      inventory, property, plant, and equipment; and income-producing commercial
      properties.

      Standby letters of credit and financial guarantees written are conditional
      commitments  issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer
      to a third party.  Those guarantees are primarily issued to support public
      and private  borrowing  arrangements,  including  commercial  paper,  bond
      financing,  and similar transactions.  The credit risk involved in issuing
      letters of credit is  essentially  the same as that  involved in extending
      loan facilities to customers. The Bank has not been required to perform on
      any  financial  guarantees  during  the past two  years.  The Bank has not
      incurred any losses on its commitments in either 1997 or 1996.

      The estimated fair values of the Bank's financial instruments were as

      ------------

   
      During the fiscal  year ended  September  30,  1996,  the Board  adopted a
      salary reduction thrift plan. The plan covers all employees with 1 year of
      service  of at least  1,000  hours.  The Bank  matches  elective  employee
      deferrals at a rate of 50% of the deferral for the first 6% deferred.  The
      employee may defer another 9% of his salary.  Employer  contributions were
      $3,652  (unaudited) and $5,171  (unaudited) for the six months ended March
      31, 1998 and 1997 and $6,767 and $3,672 for 1997 and 1996, respectively.
    

16.   Regulatory Capital Requirement
      ------------------------------

      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

16.   Regulatory Capital Requirement (Continued)
      ------------------------------

      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.

      The  Office  of  Thrift   Supervision   ("OTS")  has  prescribed   capital
      requirements   which  include  three  separate   measurements  of  capital
      adequacy:  a leverage- ratio capital standard ("core"), a tangible capital
      standard and a risk- based  capital  standard  (collectively  known as the
      "Capital  Rule").  The Capital Rule requires each savings  institution  to
      maintain  tangible  capital  equal to at least 1.5% of its adjusted  total
      assets  and core  capital  equal to at least  4.0% of its  adjusted  total
      assets.  The Capital Rule further  requires  each savings  institution  to
      maintain total capital equal to at least 8.0% of its risk-weighted assets.

      The  institution at September 30, 1997 and 1996 meets the regulatory  core
      capital,   tangible  capital,  and  risk  based  capital  requirements  as
      summarized:

      The  Federal  Deposit  Insurance  Corporation   Improvement  Act  of  1991
      ("FDICIA")  imposes increased  requirements on the operations of financial
      institutions  and  mandated the  development  of  regulations  designed to
      empower  regulators  to take  prompt  corrective  action  with  respect to
      institutions that fall below certain capital standards.  FDICIA stipulates
      that an  institution  with  less  than 4% core  capital  is  deemed  to be
      undercapitalized.  Quantitative  measures  established by FDICIA to ensure
      capital  adequacy  require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios
      of  total  and  Tier  I  capital  (as  defined  in  the   regulations)  to
      risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier I capital to average assets
      (as defined). Management believes, as of September 30, 1997, that the Bank
      meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.

      As of September 19, 1997, the most recent  notification  from the OTS, the
      Bank was categorized 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,  and Tier I leverage ratios
      of 10%,  6%, and 5%,  respectively.  There are no  conditions  existing or
      events which have occurred since  notification  that  management  believes
      have changed the institution's category.

      Management  believes that,  under the current  regulations,  the Bank will
      continue  to meet its  minimum  capital  requirements  in the  foreseeable
      future.  However,  events  beyond the control of the Bank could  adversely
      affect its future minimum capital requirements.

17.   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  imposed a
      one-time  assessment on all SAIF-insured  deposits,  as of March 31, 1995.
      For the Bank, the assessment  totalled  $191,615,  and is reflected in the
      non-interest  expenses  section  of the  statement  of income for the year
      ended September 30, 1996.

      Beginning on January 1, 1997, the FDIC has estimated  that, in addition to
      normal deposit insurance  premiums,  BFI members will pay a portion of the
      FICO payment equal to 1.3 basis points on BIF-insured deposits compared to
      6.4  basis  points  by  SAIF  members  on   SAIF-insured   deposits.   All
      institutions  will pay a pro-rate share of the FICO payment on the earlier
      of  January 1, 2000 or the date upon  which the last  savings  association
      ceases to exist.  The legislation  also requires BIF and SAIF to be merged
      by January 1, 1999 provided that  legislation  is adopted to eliminate the
      savings association  charter and no savings  associations remain as of the
      time.

      The FDIC has recently  lowered SAIF  assessments to a range  comparable to
      that of BIF  members,  although  SAIF  members  must  also  make  the FICO
      payments  described above.  Management cannot predict the precise level of
      FDIC insurance assessments on an ongoing basis or whether the BIF and SAIF
      will eventually be merged.

18.   Bank Charter and Name Change
      ----------------------------

      During 1996, the Bank converted from a state chartered  mutual savings and
      loan to a  federally  chartered  mutual  savings  bank after this the bank
      changed its name from Peoples Savings Bank, SLA to Peoples Savings Bank.

19.   Plan of Conversion and Reorganization (Unaudited)
      -------------------------------------------------

      On March 2, 1998,  the Board of  Directors  of the Bank  adopted a Plan of
      Conversion,  pursuant to which the bank would be converted  from a federal
      mutual savings bank to a federally  chartered stock savings bank, with the
      concurrent formation of a holding company.

      The  Conversion  will be  accomplished  through  adoption of the  proposed
      Federal  Stock  Charter and Bylaws to  authorize  the  issuance of capital
      stock by the  Bank,  at which  time the Bank  will  become a  wholly-owned
      subsidiary of the Holding Company. The Conversion will be accounted for at
      historical cost in a manner similar to a pooling of interests.  As part of
      the  Conversion,  the Bank is  conducting a  Subscription  Offering of the
      Common Stock for holders of subscription  rights in the following order of
      priority: (i) depositors of the Bank as of December 31, 1996 with deposits
      of at least $50 ("Eligible Account Holders");  (ii) tax-qualified employee
      benefit plans of the Bank (i.e., an employee stock ownership  plan)' (iii)
      other  depositors  of the Bank as of the last day of the calendar  quarter
      preceding  the  approval of the plan by OTS with  deposits of at least $50
      ("Supplemental  Eligible  Account  Holders");  and (iv) depositors who are
      neither  Eligible  Account  Holders  nor  Supplemental   Eligible  Account
      Holders.

      The Bank may offer shares not  subscribed  in a Community  Offering to the
      general public in New Jersey with a preference to natural persons residing
      in Burlington County,  New Jersey,  subject to the prior rights of holders
      of subscription rights.

19.   Plan of Conversion and Reorganization (Unaudited) (Continued)
      -------------------------------------------------

      At the time of the  conversion,  the Bank  will  establish  a  Liquidation
      Account  in an  amount  equal to its total net worth as of the date of the
      latest balance sheet  appearing in the final  prospectus.  The Liquidation
      Account will be maintained for the benefit of eligible account holders and
      supplemental  eligible  account  holders who  continue  to maintain  their
      accounts at the Bank after the conversion. The Liquidation Account will be
      reduced   annually  to  the  extent  that  eligible  account  holders  and
      supplemental  eligible  account  holders  have  reduced  their  qualifying
      deposits.  Subsequent  increases  will not  restore  an  eligible  account
      holder's  or  supplemental  eligible  account  holder's  interest  in  the
      Liquidation Account. In the event of a complete liquidation, each eligible
      account holder and  supplemental  eligible account holder will be entitled
      to  receive a  distribution  from the  Liquidation  Account  in the amount
      proportionate  to the current  adjusted  qualifying  balances for accounts
      they held.

      Subsequent  to the  conversion,  the  Bank  may not  declare  or pay  cash
      dividends if the effect  thereof  would cause  stockholders'  equity to be
      reduced below (1) the amount required for the Liquidation  Account or (ii)
      applicable  regulatory  capital  requirements  or if such  declaration and
      payment would otherwise violate regulatory requirements.

      Conversion  costs will be deferred and  deducted  from the proceeds of the
      shares sold in the  conversion.  If the conversion is not  completed,  all
      costs will be charged as an expense.  Conversion  costs  incurred  through
      June 10, 1998 totalled $53,448.

Board of Directors
Peoples Savings Bank
789 Farnsworth Avenue
Bordentown, New Jersey  08505

     Re:  Federal  Income Tax Opinion  Relating to the  Proposed  Conversion  of
          Peoples Savings Bank from a Federally-Chartered Mutual Savings Bank to
          a   Federally-Chartered   Stock   Savings  Bank  Pursuant  to  Section
          368(a)(1)(F) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
          -------------------------------------------------------------

Members of the Board:

         In accordance with your request,  set forth  hereinbelow is the opinion
of this firm  relating  to  material  federal  income  tax  consequences  of the
proposed conversion (the "Conversion") of Peoples Savings Bank (the "Bank") from
a federally-chartered mutual savings bank to a federally-chartered capital stock
savings bank (the "Stock Bank"),  and formation of a parent holding company (the
"Holding  Company")  which will  simultaneously  acquire all of the  outstanding
stock of Stock Bank. As proposed, the Conversion will be implemented pursuant to
Section  368(a)(1)(F)  of the  Internal  Revenue  Code of 1986,  as amended (the
"Code").

         We  have  examined  such  corporate  records,  certificates  and  other
documents as we have considered  necessary or appropriate  for this opinion.  In
such examination,  we have accepted,  and have not independently  verified,  the
authenticity  of all original  documents,  the  accuracy of all copies,  and the
genuineness of all signatures.  Further, the capitalized terms which are used in
this  opinion  and are not  expressly  defined  herein  shall  have the  meaning
ascribed to them in the Bank's Plan of Conversion  adopted on March 2, 1998 (the
"Plan of Conversion").

                               STATEMENT OF FACTS
                               ------------------

         Based  solely  upon  our  review  of  such  documents,  and  upon  such
information  as the Bank has  provided  to us  (which we have not  attempted  to
verify in any respect), and in reliance upon such documents and information,  we
understand the relevant facts with respect to the Conversion to be as follows:



<PAGE>


Board of Directors
Peoples Savings Bank
July 28, 1998
Page 2

         The Bank is a  federally-chartered  mutual  savings  bank.  As a mutual
savings bank, the Bank has no authorized  capital stock.  Instead,  the Bank, in
mutual form, has a unique equity  structure.  A savings depositor of the Bank is
entitled to interest  income on his or her account  balance as declared and paid
by the Bank. A savings  depositor has no right to a distribution of any earnings
of the Bank,  but rather these  amounts  become  retained  earnings of the Bank.
However,  a savings depositor has a right to share pro rata, with respect to the
withdrawal value of his or her respective  savings  account,  in any liquidation
proceeds distributed in the event the Bank is ever liquidated.  Voting rights in
the Bank are held by its  members.  Each member is entitled to cast one vote for
each $100 or a fraction  thereof of the withdrawal value of the member's account
and each  borrower  member is  entitled to one vote.  Each  member  shall have a
maximum of 1,000 votes. All of the interests held by a savings  depositor in the
Bank cease when such depositor closes his or her account(s) with the Bank.

         The Board of Directors of the Bank has decided that in order to promote
the growth and expansion of the Bank through the raising of additional  capital,
it would be advantageous for the Bank to: (i) convert from a federally-chartered
mutual  savings bank to a  federally-chartered  capital stock savings bank,  and
(ii) arrange for the Holding Company to simultaneously  acquire all of the Stock
Bank's  stock.  The Bank's Board of Directors  has  determined  that in order to
provide  greater  flexibility  in  future  operations  of  the  Bank,  including
diversification of business opportunities and acquisition, it is advantageous to
have the Stock Bank's stock held by the Holding Company. Pursuant to the Plan of
Conversion,  the  Bank's  certificate  of  incorporation  to operate as a mutual
savings  bank will be amended and a new  certificate  of  incorporation  will be
acquired  to  allow  it  to   continue   its   operations   in  the  form  of  a
federally-chartered  capital stock savings bank. The Plan of Conversion provides
for the  conversion of the Bank from  mutual-to-stock  form, and an appraisal of
the pro forma market  value of the stock of the Stock Bank,  which will be owned
solely by the Holding  Company.  The Plan of Conversion  must be approved by the
Office of Thrift Supervision  ("OTS"),  and by an affirmative vote of at least a
majority  of the total  votes  eligible  to be cast at a special  meeting of the
Bank's members called to vote on the Plan of Conversion.

         The Holding  Company is being formed under the laws of the State of New
Jersey for the purpose of the proposed  transaction  described herein, to engage
in business as a savings and loan  holding  company and to hold all of the stock
of the Stock Bank.  The Holding  Company will issue shares of its voting  common
stock ("Holding Company Stock") upon completion of the Conversion,  as described
below, to persons purchasing such shares through a Subscription  Offering and to
the general public in a Public Offering.

         Following  appropriate  regulatory  approval,  the  Plan of  Conversion
provides  for the  issuance  of  shares of  Holding  Company  Stock to  eligible
depositors and borrowers of the Bank and others as described below and set forth
in the Plan of Conversion.  The aggregate  purchase price at which all shares of
Holding Company Stock will be offered and sold pursuant to the


<PAGE>


Board of Directors
Peoples Savings Bank
July 28, 1998
Page 3

Plan of Conversion  will be equal to the estimated pro forma market value of the
Bank at the  time of the  Conversion  as held  as a  subsidiary  of the  Holding
Company.  The  estimated  pro  forma  market  value  will  be  determined  by an
independent  appraiser.  Pursuant to the Plan of Conversion,  all such shares of
Holding Company Stock will be issued and sold at a uniform price per share.  The
Conversion  and the sale of newly issued shares of the Stock Bank's stock to the
Holding Company will be deemed  effective  concurrently  with the closing of the
sale of Holding Company Stock.

         As required by OTS regulations, shares of Holding Company Stock will be
offered  pursuant  to  non-transferable  subscription  rights  on the  basis  of
preference  categories.  All shares must be sold and to the extent that  Holding
Company Stock is available,  no subscriber will be allowed to purchase less than
25 shares of Holding Company Stock,  provided that the aggregate  purchase price
does not exceed $500. The Bank has  established  various  preference  categories
under  which  shares of  Holding  Company  Stock may be  purchased  and a public
offering  category  for the sale of shares not  purchased  under the  preference
categories.  If the third preference  category is determined to be inappropriate
to  the  Conversion,  then  there  will  only  be  three  preference  categories
consisting of the first,  second,  and fourth  preference  categories  set forth
below, and all references herein to Supplemental Eligible Account Holder and the
Supplemental  Eligibility  Record  Date shall not be  applicable  to the subject
transaction.

         The first  preference  category  is  reserved  for the Bank's  Eligible
Account Holders. The Plan of Conversion defines "Eligible Account Holder" as any
person holding a Qualifying Deposit.  The Plan of Conversion defines "Qualifying
Deposit" as the aggregate balance of all savings accounts of an Eligible Account
Holder in the Bank at the close of business on December  31,  1996,  which is at
least equal to $50.00.  If a savings  account holder of the Bank qualifies as an
Eligible   Account   Holder,   he  or  she  will   receive,   without   payment,
non-transferable  subscription  rights to purchase  Holding  Company Stock.  The
number of shares that each Eligible  Account Holder may subscribe to is equal to
the greater of (a) the maximum  purchase  limitation  established for the Public
Offering;  (b) one tenth of one percent of the total offering of shares;  or (c)
fifteen times the product  (rounded  down to the next whole number)  obtained by
multiplying  the total number of shares of Holding Company Stock to be issued by
a fraction of which the numerator is the amount of the Qualifying Deposit of the
Eligible  Account  Holder  and  the  denominator  is  the  total  amount  of the
Qualifying   Deposits  of  all  Eligible  Account   Holders.   If  there  is  an
oversubscription,  shares will be allocated among  subscribing  Eligible Account
Holders so as to permit each account holder, to the extent possible, to purchase
a number of shares  sufficient to make his or her total  allocation equal to 100
shares.  Any shares not then allocated  shall be allocated among the subscribing
Eligible Account Holders on an equitable basis,  related to the amounts of their
respective  deposits  as compared  to the total  deposits  of  Eligible  Account
Holders on the Eligibility Record Date. Non-transferable  subscription rights to
purchase  Holding  Company Stock  received by officers and directors of the Bank
and their  associates  based on their increased  deposits in the Bank in the one
year period

preceding  the  Eligibility  Record  Date  shall be  subordinated  to all  other
subscriptions  involving the exercise of nontransferable  subscription rights to
purchase shares of Holding Company Stock under the first preference category.

         The second preference  category is reserved for tax-qualified  employee
stock  benefit  plans of the Stock Bank.  The Plan of  Conversion  defines  "tax
qualified  employee stock benefit plans" as any defined  benefit plan or defined
contribution  plan, such as an employee stock ownership plan,  stock bonus plan,
profit-sharing  plan or other  plan,  which,  with its  related  trust meets the
requirements to be "qualified"  under Section 401 of the Code. Under the Plan of
Conversion,  the Stock Bank's  tax-qualified  employee  stock  benefit plans may
subscribe for up to 10% of the shares of Holding  Company Stock to be offered in
the Conversion.

         The third preference  category is reserved for the Bank's  Supplemental
Eligible Account Holders. The Plan of Conversion defines "Supplemental  Eligible
Account  Holder" as any person (other than officers or directors of the Bank and
their associates)  holding a deposit in the Bank on the last day of the calendar
quarter   preceding   the  approval  of  the  Plan  of  Conversion  by  the  OTS
("Supplemental  Eligibility Record Date").  This third preference  category will
only be used in the  event  that the  Eligibility  Record  Date is more  than 15
months prior to the date of the latest amendment to the Application for Approval
of  Conversion  on Form AC  filed  prior  to  approval  by the  OTS.  The  third
preference category provides that each Supplemental Eligible Account Holder will
receive,  without  payment,  nontransferable  subscription  rights  to  purchase
Holding  Company  Stock to the extent that such shares of Holding  Company Stock
are available after satisfying  subscriptions for shares in the first and second
preference  categories  above.  The  number of  shares  to which a  Supplemental
Eligible  Account  Holder may  subscribe  to is the  greater of (a) the  maximum
purchase limitation established for the Community Offering; (b) one-tenth of one
percent  of the total  offering  of shares;  or (c)  fifteen  times the  product
(rounded down to the next whole number) obtained by multiplying the total number
of the shares of Holding  Company  Stock to be issued by a fraction of which the
numerator  is the amount of the  deposit of the  Supplemental  Eligible  Account
Holder  and  the  denominator  is  the  total  amount  of  the  deposits  of all
Supplemental  Eligible  Account Holders on the Supplemental  Eligibility  Record
Date.  Subscription  rights received  pursuant to the third preference  category
shall be  subordinated  to all  rights  under the first  and  second  preference
categories.   Non-transferable   subscription   rights  to  be   received  by  a
Supplemental  Eligible Account Holder in the third preference  category shall be
reduced  by the  subscription  rights  received  by such  account  holder  as an
Eligible Account Holder under the first and second preference categories. In the
event of an  oversubscription,  shares  will be  allocated  so as to enable each
Supplemental  Eligible  Account Holder,  to the extent  possible,  to purchase a
number  of shares  sufficient  to make his total  allocation,  including  shares
previously allocated in the first and second preference categories, equal to 100
shares or the total amount of his  subscription,  whichever is less.  Any shares
not then  allocated  shall  be  allocated  among  the  subscribing  Supplemental
Eligible Account Holders

on an  equitable  basis  related to the amount of their  respective  deposits as
compared to the total deposits of Supplemental  Eligible  Account Holders on the
Supplemental Eligibility Record Date.

         If there is no  oversubscription  of the Holding  Company  Stock in the
first, second, and third preference  categories,  the fourth preference category
becomes  operable.  In the  fourth  preference  category,  members  of the  Bank
entitled  to vote at the  special  meeting of  members  to  approve  the Plan of
Conversion who are not Eligible Account Holders or Supplemental Eligible Account
Holders  ("Other  Members")  will  receive,  without  payment,  non-transferable
subscription  rights  entitling them to purchase  Holding  Company Stock.  Other
Members  shall each  receive  subscription  rights to purchase up to the maximum
purchase  limitation  established  for the Public  Offering or  one-tenth of one
percent of the total  offering  of shares,  to the extent that  Holding  Company
Stock is  available.  In the  event  of an  oversubscription  by Other  Members,
Holding  Company  Stock will be  allocated  pro rata  according to the number of
shares subscribed for by each Other Member.

         The Plan of Conversion  further provides for limitations upon purchases
of Holding Company Stock. Specifically, any person by himself or herself or with
an associate or a group of persons  acting in concert may subscribe for not more
than  $60,000  of  Holding  Company  Stock  offered  pursuant  to  the  Plan  of
Conversion,  except that Tax-Qualified Employee Stock Benefit Plans may purchase
up to 10% of the total shares of Holding  Company Stock  issued.  Subject to any
required  regulatory  approval  and the  requirements  of  applicable  laws  and
regulations,  the Bank may increase or decrease any of the purchase  limitations
set forth  herein at any time.  The Board of  Directors  of the Bank may, in its
sole discretion,  increase the maximum purchase  limitation up to 5.0%. Requests
to purchase additional shares of Holding Company Stock under this provision will
be allocated  by the Board of  Directors on a pro rata basis giving  priority in
accordance  with the  priority  rights  set  forth  in the  Plan of  Conversion.
Officers and directors of the Bank and their  associates may not purchase in the
aggregate  more than 35% of the Holding  Company  Stock  issued  pursuant to the
Conversion.  Directors  of the Bank  will not be  deemed  associates  or a group
acting  in  concert  solely  as a result  of their  membership  on the  board of
directors of the Bank. All of the shares of Holding  Company Stock  purchased by
officers and  directors  will be subject to certain  restrictions  on sale for a
period of one year.

         The Plan of  Conversion  provides  that no person  will be  issued  any
subscription  rights or be permitted to purchase  any Holding  Company  Stock if
such person resides in a foreign country or in a state of the United States with
respect  to which all of the  following  apply:  (a) a small  number of  persons
otherwise  eligible to subscribe for shares under the Plan of Conversion  reside
in such state;  (b) the issuance of subscription  rights or the offer or sale of
the Holding  Company Stock in such state,  would require the Bank or the Holding
Company under the securities law of such state to register as a broker or dealer
or to register or otherwise qualify its securities for

sale  in such  state;  and (c)  such  registration  or  qualification  would  be
impracticable for reasons of cost or otherwise.

         The  Plan  of  Conversion  also  provides  for the  establishment  of a
Liquidation  Account  by Stock  Bank for the  benefit  of all  Eligible  Account
Holders  and  Supplemental   Eligible  Account  Holders  (if  applicable).   The
Liquidation  Account  will be equal in amount to the net worth of Bank as of the
time of the Conversion.  The  establishment of the Liquidation  Account will not
operate to restrict the use or  application  of any of the net worth accounts of
the  Stock  Bank,  except  that the  Stock  Bank  will not  declare  or pay cash
dividends on or  repurchase  any of its stock if the result  thereof would be to
reduce its net worth  below the amount  required  to  maintain  the  Liquidation
Account.  The Liquidation Account will be for the benefit of the Bank's Eligible
Account Holders and Supplemental  Eligible Account Holders who maintain accounts
in the Bank at the time of the Conversion.  All such account holders,  including
those not entitled to subscription rights for reasons of foreign or out-of-state
residency  (as  described  above),  will  have an  interest  in the  Liquidation
Account.  The  interest an Eligible  Account  Holder and  Supplemental  Eligible
Account  Holder  will  have a right  to  receive,  in the  event  of a  complete
liquidation of the Stock Bank, is a distribution from the Liquidation Account in
the amount of the then current adjusted subaccount balances for savings accounts
then held, which will be made prior to any liquidation distribution with respect
to the capital stock of the Stock Bank.

         The  initial  subaccount  balance  for a  savings  account  held  by an
Eligible  Account Holder and/or  Supplemental  Eligible  Account Holder shall be
determined by multiplying the opening  balance in the  Liquidation  Account by a
fraction of which the numerator is the amount of the  qualifying  deposit in the
savings account,  and the denominator is the total amount of qualifying deposits
of all Eligible Account Holders and Supplemental Eligible Account Holders in the
Stock Bank. The initial subaccount  balance will never be increased,  but may be
decreased  if the  deposit  balance  in any  qualifying  savings  account of any
Eligible  Account  Holder or any savings  account of any  Supplemental  Eligible
Account Holder on any annual closing date subsequent to the  Eligibility  Record
Date or Supplemental  Eligibility Record Date, whichever is applicable,  is less
than the lesser of (1) the deposit  balance in the savings  account at the close
of business on any other  annual  closing  date  subsequent  to the  Eligibility
Record Date or the  Supplemental  Eligibility  Record Date, or (2) the amount of
the qualifying  deposit in such savings  account.  In such event, the subaccount
balance for the savings  account  will be adjusted by reducing  each  subaccount
balance in an amount  proportionate  to the  reduction  in the  savings  account
balance.  Once  decreased,  the Plan of Conversion  provides that the subaccount
balance will never be subsequently  increased,  and if the savings account of an
Eligible Account Holder or Supplemental  Eligible Account Holder is closed,  the
related subaccount balance in the Liquidation Account will be reduced to zero.

         The net proceeds  from the sale of the shares of Holding  Company Stock
will become the permanent  capital of Holding  Company,  and the Holding Company
will in turn purchase 100%

of the stock  issued by Stock  Bank,  in  exchange  for up to 50% of the Holding
Company's stock offering net proceeds or such other percentage as is approved by
the Board of Directors with the concurrence of the OTS.

         Following  the  Conversion,  voting  rights  in Stock  Bank  will  rest
exclusively in the Holding  Company.  Voting rights in the Holding  Company will
rest exclusively in the stockholders of the Holding Company. The Conversion will
not interrupt the business of the Bank,  and its business will continue as usual
under the Stock Bank. Each depositor will retain a withdrawable  savings account
or accounts equal in amount to the withdrawable  account or accounts at the time
of the Conversion.  Mortgage loans of the Bank will remain  unchanged and retain
their same  characteristics  in the Stock Bank after the  Conversion.  The Stock
Bank will  continue  membership  in the Federal Home Loan Bank System,  and will
remain  subject to the regulatory  authority of the OTS.  Deposits in Stock Bank
will continue to be insured by the Savings Bank Insurance Fund  administered  by
the Federal Deposit  Insurance  Corporation up to applicable limits of insurance
coverage.

         Immediately prior to the Conversion,  the Bank will have a positive net
worth in accordance with generally accepted accounting  principles.  The savings
account  holders  of  the  Bank  will  pay  expenses  of the  Conversion  solely
attributable to them, if any. Further, the Bank will pay its own expenses of the
Conversion  and will not pay any  expenses  solely  attributable  to the  Bank's
savings account holders or to the purchasers of Holding Company Stock.

                          REPRESENTATIONS BY MANAGEMENT
                          -----------------------------

         In  connection   with  the   Conversion,   the  following   statements,
representations and declarations have been made to us by management of the Bank:

         1. The Conversion  will be implemented in accordance  with the terms of
the Plan of Conversion  and all  conditions  precedent  contained in the Plan of
Conversion shall be performed prior to the consummation of the Conversion.

         2. The fair market  value of the  withdrawable  savings  accounts  plus
interests in the  Liquidation  Account to be  constructively  received under the
Plan of  Conversion  will in each  instance be equal to the fair market value of
each savings account of the Bank plus the interest in the residual equity of the
Bank surrendered in exchange  therefor.  All proprietary rights in the Bank form
an integral part of the withdrawable  savings accounts being  surrendered in the
Conversion.

         3.  The  Holding  Company  and  the  Stock  Bank  each  have no plan or
intention to redeem or otherwise acquire any of the Holding Company Stock issued
in the proposed transaction.

Board of Directors

         4. To the best of the knowledge of the management of the Bank, there is
not now nor will there be at the time of the Conversion,  any plan or intention,
on the part of the depositors in the Bank to withdraw  their deposits  following
the  Conversion.   Deposits  withdrawn   immediately  prior  to  or  immediately
subsequent to the  Conversion  (other than maturing  deposits) are considered in
making these assumptions.

         5. Immediately  following the consummation of the proposed transaction,
the Stock Bank will  possess  the same assets and  liabilities  as the Bank held
immediately prior to the proposed transaction, plus substantially all of the net
proceeds  from the sale of its stock to the Holding  Company  (except for assets
used to pay  expenses in the  Conversion).  Assets  used to pay  expenses of the
Conversion  (without reference to the expenses of the Subscription  Offering and
the Public Offering) and all  distributions  (except for regular normal interest
payments made by the Bank  immediately  preceding the  transaction)  will in the
aggregate  constitute  less than one percent (1%) of the assets of the Bank, net
of liabilities associated with such assets, and will be paid by the Bank and the
Holding  Company  from the  proceeds  of the  Subscription  Offering  and Public
Offering.

         6. Following the Conversion,  Stock Bank will continue to engage in its
business in substantially the same manner as engaged in by the Bank prior to the
Conversion. The Stock Bank has no plan or intention to sell or otherwise dispose
of any of its assets, except in the ordinary course of business.

         7. No cash or property  will be given to any member of the Bank in lieu
of subscription  rights or an interest in the  Liquidation  Account of the Stock
Bank.

         8. None of the  compensation  to be  received  by any  deposit  account
holder-employees   of  the  Bank  or  the  Holding   Company  will  be  separate
consideration  for,  or  allocable  to, any of their  deposits  in the Bank.  No
interest  in the  Liquidation  Account of the Stock Bank will be received by any
deposit  account   holder-employees  as  separate  consideration  for,  or  will
otherwise be allocable to, any employment  agreement,  and the compensation paid
to  each  deposit  account  holder-employee,  during  the  twelve  month  period
preceding  or  subsequent  to the  Conversion,  will  be for  services  actually
rendered and will be commensurate with amounts paid to third parties  bargaining
at arm's length for similar services. No shares of Holding Company Stock will be
issued to or purchased by any deposit account holder-employee of the Bank or the
Holding Company at a discount or as compensation in the Conversion.

         9. The aggregate fair market value of the  Qualifying  Deposits held by
Eligible   Account  Holders  or  Supplemental   Eligible   Account  Holders  (if
applicable)  as of the  close of  business  on the  Eligibility  Record  Date or
Supplemental  Eligibility  Record Date (if applicable)  entitled to interests in
the Liquidation Account to be established by Stock Bank equalled or


<PAGE>


Board of Directors
Peoples Savings Bank
July 28, 1998
Page 9

exceeded  99% of the  aggregate  fair  market  value  of  all  savings  accounts
(including  those  accounts of less than  $50.00) in the Bank as of the close of
business on such date.

         10. There is no plan or intention  for the Stock Bank to be  liquidated
or merged with another corporation following the consummation of the Conversion.

         11. The Bank and the Stock Bank are corporations  within the meaning of
Section 7701(a)(3) of the Code.

         12. The Holding  Company has no plan or  intention to sell or otherwise
dispose  of  the  stock  of  the  Stock  Bank  received  by it in  the  proposed
transaction.

         13.  Both  the  Stock  Bank  and the  Holding  Company  have no plan or
intention,  either  currently  or at  the  time  of  the  Conversion,  to  issue
additional shares of common stock following the proposed transaction, other than
shares that may be issued to employees or  directors  pursuant to certain  stock
option  and stock  incentive  plans or that may be issued  to  employee  benefit
plans.

         14. If all of the net proceeds  from the sale of Holding  Company Stock
had been  contributed  by the Holding  Company to the Stock Bank in exchange for
common  stock of the Stock Bank in the  Conversion,  as  opposed to the  Holding
Company retaining a portion of such net proceeds ("retained  proceeds"),  and if
the Stock  Bank  immediately  thereafter  made a  distribution  of the  retained
proceeds to the Holding  Company,  the Stock Bank would have sufficient  current
and accumulated earnings and profits for tax purposes such that the distribution
would not result in the recapture of any portion of the bad debt reserves of the
Stock Bank under Section 593(e) of the Code.

         15. At the time of the proposed  transaction,  the fair market value of
the assets of the Bank on a going concern  basis  (including  intangibles)  will
equal or exceed the amount of its  liabilities  plus the amount of  liability to
which such  assets are  subject.  The Bank will have a positive  regulatory  net
worth at the time of the Conversion.

         16. The Bank is not under the  jurisdiction of a court in a Title 11 or
similar  case  within  the  meaning  of Section  368(a)(3)(A)  of the Code.  The
proposed  transaction does not involve a receivership,  foreclosure,  or similar
proceeding before a federal or state agency involving a financial institution to
which Section 585 or 593 of the Code applies.

         17. The Bank's savings  depositors  will pay expenses of the Conversion
solely  attributable to them, if any. The Holding  Company,  the Stock Bank, and
the Bank will pay  their own  expenses  of the  Conversion  and will not pay any
expenses solely attributable to the savings depositors or to the Holding Company
stockholders.

         18.  The  liabilities  of the Bank  assumed  by the Stock Bank plus the
liabilities,  if any, to which the transferred  assets are subject were incurred
by the Bank in the ordinary  course of its business and are associated  with the
assets transferred.

         19. There will be no purchase  price  advantage for the Bank's  deposit
account holders who purchase Holding Company Stock in the Conversion.

         20.  Neither  the Bank nor the Stock Bank is an  investment  company as
defined in Sections 368(a)(2)(F)(iii) and (iv) of the Code.

         21. No  creditors  of the Bank have  taken any steps to  enforce  their
claims against the Bank by instituting bankruptcy or other legal proceedings, in
either a court or  appropriate  regulatory  agency,  that  would  eliminate  the
proprietary interests of the members of the Bank prior to the Conversion.

         22. The proposed  transaction does not involve the payment to the Stock
Bank or the Bank of  financial  assistance  from  federal  agencies  within  the
meaning of Notice 89-102, 1989-40 C.B. 1.

         23. The Eligible  Account  Holders' and  Supplemental  Eligible Account
Holders'  proprietary  interest  in the Bank arise  solely by virtue of the fact
that they are account holders in the Bank.

         24. At the time of the Conversion,  the Bank will not have  outstanding
any  warrants,  options,  convertible  securities,  or any  other  type of right
pursuant  to which any person  could  acquire an equity  interest in the Holding
Company or the Stock Bank.

         25.  The  Stock  Bank  has no plan or  intention  to sell or  otherwise
dispose of any of the assets of the Bank acquired in the transaction (except for
dispositions,  including  deposit  withdrawals,  made in the ordinary  course of
business).

         26. On a per share  basis,  the purchase  price of the Holding  Company
Stock in the Conversion  will be equal to the fair market value of such stock at
the time of the completion of the proposed transaction.

         27. The Bank has received or will receive an opinion from Finpro,  Inc.
("Appraiser's Opinion"), which concludes that subscription rights to be received
by Eligible Account Holders,  Supplemental  Eligible Account Holders,  and other
eligible  subscribers do not have any ascertainable  fair market value,  because
they are acquired by the recipients  without cost, are  non-transferable,  exist
for such a short  duration,  and merely  afford the  recipients  a right only to
purchase  Holding  Company Stock at a price equal to its  estimated  fair market
value, which


<PAGE>


Board of Directors
Peoples Savings Bank

Page 11

will be the same price used in the Public  Offering for  unsubscribed  shares of
Holding Company Stock.

         28.  The Bank  will not have any net  operating  losses,  capital  loss
carryovers, or built-in losses at the time of the Conversion.

                               OPINION OF COUNSEL
                               ------------------

         Based  solely  upon the  foregoing  information  and our  analysis  and
examination of current applicable federal income tax laws, rulings, regulations,
judicial precedents, and the Appraiser's Opinion, and provided the Conversion is
undertaken in  accordance  with the above  assumptions,  we render the following
opinion of counsel:

         1.     The change in the form of operation of the Bank from a federally
chartered  mutual  savings bank to a federally  chartered  capital stock savings
bank, as described above, will constitute a reorganization within the meaning of
Section  368(a)(1)(F)  of the Code,  and no gain or loss will be  recognized  to
either the Bank or to the Stock Bank as a result of such  Conversion.  (See Rev.
Rul.  80-105,  1980-1 C.B. 78). The Bank and the Stock Bank will each be a party
to a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(b) of the Code. (Rev. Rul.
72-206, 1972-1 C.B. 104).

         2. No gain or loss will be  recognized by the Stock Bank on the receipt
of money in  exchange  for shares of Stock Bank stock.  (Section  1032(a) of the
Code).

         3. The Holding  Company will recognize no gain or loss upon its receipt
of money in exchange for shares of Holding  Company Stock.  (Section  1032(a) of
the Code).

         4. The  assets of the Bank will have the same basis in the hands of the
Stock  Bank as in the  hands of the Bank  immediately  prior to the  Conversion.
(Section 362(b) of the Code).

         5. The  holding  period of the assets of the Bank to be received by the
Stock Bank will include the period during which the assets were held by the Bank
prior to the Conversion.  (Section 1223(2) of the Code).

         6.  Depositors  will realize gain, if any, upon the issuance to them of
(i) withdrawable deposit accounts of the Stock Bank, (ii) subscription rights in
connection  with the  Conversion,  and/or  (iii)  interests  in the  Liquidation
Account of the Stock Bank. Any gain resulting therefrom will be recognized,  but
only in an  amount  not in excess of the fair  market  value of the  Liquidation
Accounts and/or subscription rights received. The Liquidation Accounts will have
nominal,  if any,  fair  market  value.  Based  solely  on the  accuracy  of the
conclusion reached in the Appraiser's Opinion, and our reliance on such opinion,
that the subscription rights have no

Board of Directors
Peoples Savings Bank
July 28, 1998
Page 12

value at the time of distribution or exercise,  no gain or loss will be required
to be recognized  by depositors  upon receipt or  distribution  of  subscription
rights.  (Section 1001 of the Code). See Paulsen v. Commissioner,  469 U.S. 131,
139 (1985).

         Likewise,  based  solely on the  accuracy of the  aforesaid  conclusion
reached  in the  Appraiser's  Opinion,  and our  reliance  thereon,  we give the
following  opinions:  (a) no taxable income will be recognized by the borrowers,
directors,  officers,  and  employees of the Bank upon  distribution  to them of
subscription  rights or upon the exercise or lapse of the subscription rights to
acquire Holding  Company Stock at fair market value;  (b) no taxable income will
be realized by the  depositors  of the Bank as a result of the exercise or lapse
of the  subscription  rights to purchase  Holding  Company  Stock at fair market
value (Rev.  Rul.  56-572,  1956-2 C.B.  182); and (c) no taxable income will be
realized by the Bank, the Stock Bank, or the Holding  Company on the issuance or
distribution of subscription rights to depositors of the Bank to purchase shares
of Holding Company Stock at fair market value (Section 311 of the Code).

         Notwithstanding the Appraiser's Opinion, if the subscription rights are
subsequently  found to have a fair market value greater than zero, income may be
recognized by various  recipients of the subscription  rights (in certain cases,
whether or not the rights are  exercised)  and the  Holding  Company  and/or the
Stock  Bank may be  taxable  on the  distribution  of the  subscription  rights.
(Section 311 of the Code). In this regard, the subscription  rights may be taxed
partially or entirely at ordinary income tax rates.

         7. The basis of the savings  accounts in the Stock Bank received by the
account  holders  of the  Bank  will be the same as the  basis of their  savings
accounts in the Bank surrendered in exchange therefor (Section  358(a)(1)).  The
basis of the interests in the Liquidation  Account of the Stock Bank received by
the Eligible Account Holders and  Supplemental  Eligible Account Holders will be
zero, that being the cost of such property.  (Paulsen v. Commissioner,  469 U.S.
131, 139 (1985)). The basis of the non-transferable  subscription rights will be
zero,  provided  that such  subscription  rights  are not  deemed to have a fair
market  value  and  that the  subscription  price of such  stock  issuable  upon
exercise  of such rights is equal to the fair  market  value of such stock.  The
basis of the Holding  Company Stock to its  stockholders  will be purchase price
thereof,  increased by the basis, if any, of the  subscription  rights exercised
(Section  1012 of the Code).  The holding  period of Holding  Company Stock will
commence upon the effective date of exercise of the subscription rights (Section
1223(6) of the Code). The holding period for the Holding Company Stock purchased
pursuant  to the direct  community  offering,  public  offering  or under  other
purchase arrangements will commence on the date following the date on which such
stock is purchased. (Rev. Rul. 70- 598, 1970-2 C.B. 168).

         8. The part of the taxable year of the Bank before the  Conversion  and
the part of the  taxable  year of the  Stock  Bank  after  the  Conversion  will
constitute a single taxable year of the


<PAGE>


Board of Directors
Peoples Savings Bank
July 28, 1998
Page 13

Stock Bank. (See Rev. Rul. 57-276, 1957-1 C.B. 126). Consequently, the Bank will
not be  required  to file a federal  income  tax  return  for a portion  of such
taxable year (Section 1.381(b)-1(a)(2) of the Treasury Regulations).

         9.  As  provided  by  Section   381(c)(2)   of  the  Code  and  Section
1.381(c)(2)-1  of the Treasury  Regulations,  the Stock Bank will succeed to and
take into account the earnings and profits or deficit in earnings and profits of
the Bank as of the date or dates of transfer.

         10.  Pursuant to the  provisions  of Section  381(c)(4) of the Code and
Section 1.381(c)(4)-1(a)(1)(ii) of the Treasury Regulations, the Stock Bank will
succeed to and take into account,  immediately after the  reorganization,  those
accounts of the Bank which  represent  bad debt reserves in respect of which the
Bank has taken a bad debt  deduction  for taxable  years ending on or before the
date of the  reorganization.  The bad debt  reserves  will not be required to be
restored  to the  gross  income of  either  the Bank or the  Stock  Bank for the
taxable year of the  reorganization,  and such bad debt  reserves  will have the
same  character  in the hands of the Stock  Bank as they  would  have had in the
hands of the Bank if no  distribution  or transfer had  occurred.  No opinion is
being  expressed  as to whether  the bad debt  reserves  will be  required to be
restored  to the  gross  income of  either  the Bank or the  Stock  Bank for the
taxable year of the reorganization.

         11. Regardless of book entries made for the creation of the Liquidation
Account,  the Conversion,  as described above, will not diminish the accumulated
earnings and profits of the Stock Bank available for the subsequent distribution
of dividends within the meaning of Section 316 of the Code. (Section 1.312-11(b)
and (c) of the Treasury Regulations).

         12. For  purposes  of Section  381 of the Code,  the Stock Bank will be
treated  the same as the Bank would have been had there been no  reorganization.
Accordingly,  the taxable year of the Bank will not end on the effective date of
the proposed transaction merely because of the transfer of assets of the Bank to
the Stock Bank and the tax  attributes of the Bank  enumerated in Section 381(c)
will  be  taken  into  account  by the  Stock  Bank  as if  there  had  been  no
reorganization (Section 1.381(b)-1(a)(2)) of the Treasury Regulations).

         No opinion is expressed as to the tax treatment of the Conversion under
the provisions of any of the other sections of the Code and Treasury Regulations
which  may also be  applicable  thereto,  or under  federal  law,  or to the tax
treatment of any conditions  existing at the time of, or effects resulting from,
the  transactions  which  are not  specifically  covered  by the items set forth
above.  Notwithstanding  any  reference  to  Section  381  above,  no opinion is
expressed or intended to be expressed  herein as to the effect,  if any, of this
transaction on the continued existence of, the carryover or carryback of, or the
limitation on, any net operating losses of the Bank or its successor,  the Stock
Bank, under the Code.

Introduction

This report represents FinPro,  Inc.'s ("FinPro")  independent  appraisal of the
estimated  pro forma market  value of the common stock ( the "Common  Stock") of
Farnsworth  Bancorp,  Inc.  (the  "Company")  in  connection  with  the  Plan of
Conversion  ("Conversion") of Peoples Savings Bank (the "Bank") from a federally
chartered  mutual  savings bank to a federally  chartered  stock  savings  bank.
Pursuant to the Plan of  Conversion,  (i) the Bank will convert from a federally
chartered savings bank organized in mutual form to a federally chartered savings
bank organized in the stock form, (ii) the Company will sell its Common Stock to
the  eligible  depositors  and  members  and then to the  public,  and (iii) the
Company will use 75% of the net proceeds to purchase all of the capital stock of
the Bank.

It is our understanding  that the Company will offer its stock in a subscription
and community  offering to the Bank's Eligible Account Holders,  to Supplemental
Eligible  Account  Holders  of the  Bank,  to Other  Participants,  to the board
members,  officers  and  employees  of the  Bank,  and to  the  community.  This
appraisal has been prepared in accordance  with  Regulation  563b.7 and with the
"Guidelines  for  Appraisal  Reports  for the  Valuation  of  Savings  and  Loan
Associations Converting from Mutual to Stock Form of Organization" of the Office
of Thrift Supervision ("OTS") which have been adopted in practice by the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation  ("FDIC"),  including the most recent revisions as
of October 21, 1994, and applicable regulatory interpretations thereof.

In the course of preparing our report,  we reviewed the financial  statements of
the Bank's  operations  for the six months ending March 31, 1998, the year ended
September 30, 1997 and the Bank's  operations  and financials for the prior year
ended  September 30, 1996. We also reviewed the Bank's  Application for Approval
of  Conversion  including  the  Proxy  Statement  and the  Company's  Form  SB-2
registration  statement as filed with the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission
("SEC").  We have  conducted due diligence  analysis of the Bank and the Company
(hereinafter,  collectively  referred to as "the  Bank") and held due  diligence
related  discussions with the Bank's management and board, Lewis W. Parker, III,
CPA,  (the  Bank's  independent  auditor),  Ryan  Beck  &  Company  (the  Bank's
underwriter),  and Malizia,  Spidi,  Sloane & Fisch,  P.C.  (the Bank's  special
counsel). The valuation parameters set forth in the appraisal were predicated on
these discussions but all conclusions  related to the valuation were reached and
made independent of such discussions.

Where appropriate, we considered information based upon other publicly available
sources,  which we believe to be  reliable;  however,  we cannot  guarantee  the
accuracy or  completeness  of such  information.  We visited the Bank's  primary
market area and reviewed the market area  economic  condition.  We also reviewed
the  competitive  environment  in  which  the  Bank  operates  and its  relative
strengths  and  weaknesses.  We compared the Bank's  performance  with  selected
publicly traded thrift  institutions.  We reviewed  conditions in the securities
markets in general and in the market for savings institutions in particular. Our
analysis  included a review of the  estimated  effects of the  Conversion on the
Bank, operation and expected financial performance as they related to the Bank's
estimated pro-forma value.

In  preparing  our  valuation,  we relied  upon and  assumed  the  accuracy  and
completeness of financial and other  information  provided to us by the Bank and
its  independent  accountants.  We did not  independently  verify the  financial
statements  and  other  information  provided  by the Bank  and its  independent
accountants,  nor  did  we  independently  value  any of the  Bank's  assets  or
liabilities. This estimated valuation considers the Bank only as a going concern
and should not be considered as an indication of its liquidation value.

Our valuation is not intended, and must not be construed, to be a recommendation
of any kind as the  advisability  of  purchasing  shares of Common  Stock in the
Conversion. Moreover, because such valuation is necessarily based upon estimates
and projections of a number of matters,  all of which are subject to change from
time to time,  no assurance  can be given that  persons who  purchase  shares of
Common Stock in the  Conversion  will  thereafter be able to sell such shares at
prices related to the foregoing valuation of the pro-forma market value thereof.
FinPro is not a seller of securities  within the meaning of any federal or state
securities  laws and any report prepared by FinPro shall not be used as an offer
or solicitation with respect to the purchase or sale of any securities.

The estimated  valuation  herein will be updated as  appropriate.  These updates
will consider,  among other  factors,  any  developments  or changes in the Bank
financial condition,  operating performance,  management policies and procedures
and current  conditions in the securities market for thrift  institution  common
stock.  Should any such developments or changes,  in our opinion, be material to
the estimated pro-forma market value of the Bank, appropriate adjustments to the
estimated  pro-forma  market  value  will be  made.  The  reasons  for any  such
adjustments will be explained at that time.

- -------------------------------------------------
                 STRATEGIC DIRECTION
- -------------------------------------------------


The Bank  projects  controlled  balance  sheet growth with the Bank  originating
residential mortgages,  home equity loans, and commercial loans (secured by real
estate).  On the liability side, the Bank will grow deposits by emphasizing core
deposits (transaction and savings accounts) and opening one de novo branch.

The Bank will  maintain its interest rate spread and margin  through  commercial
real  estate  loan  growth.  In  addition,  the Bank will  maintain  earnings by
emphasizing asset quality and controlling expenses.

The Bank has planned the following  major  thrusts over the  five-year  planning
horizon:

     1.   Convert  to a stock  institution  to  raise  capital  to  fund  growth
          opportunities and strengthen the capital position of the Bank;

     2.   Planned  core  business  growth  of the  Bank  to  grow  into  expense
          structure;

     3.   Growth in the loan  origination  volumes  to  maintain a loan to asset
          ratio in excess of 60%;

     4.   Increase  the  Allowance  for Loan and Lease  Losses to  approximately
          0.75% of total loans;

     5.   Open a de novo branch by March 2000;

     6.   Hire  additional  staff to  accommodate  the  anticipated  deposit and
          balance sheet growth; and

     7.   Analyze and implement  wholesale leverage  strategies as interest rate
          and economic opportunities present themselves.

The following chart  illustrates the Bank's net portfolio value ("NPV") at March
31, 1998,  as  calculated  by the OTS.  The Bank manages its interest  rate risk
through  normal  balance  sheet  activities  and does not  utilize  any  hedging
techniques.  This chart  indicates  that the Bank has moderate level of interest
rate risk.  At the +200 basis point rate  shock,  the Bank's NPV falls below the
level  of  tangible  capital.  This is due to its  large  conventional  mortgage
portfolio and its reliance on time deposits.

3.  Comparisons With Publicly Traded Thrifts


- -------------------------------------------------
                     INTRODUCTION
- -------------------------------------------------


This chapter presents an analysis of the Bank's operations  against a Comparable
Group of publicly traded savings institutions. The Comparable Group was selected
from a universe of 394 public thrifts as of June 8, 1998.  The Comparable  Group
was  selected  based  upon  similarity  of  characteristics  to  the  Bank.  The
Comparable  Group multiples  provide the basis for the fair market  valuation of
the Bank.  Factors  that  influence  the  Bank's  value  such as  balance  sheet
structure and size,  profitability,  income and expense trends,  capital levels,
credit risk, and recent operating results can be measured against the Comparable
Group. The Comparable Group current market pricing, coupled with the appropriate
adjustments for differences between the Bank and the Comparable Group, will then
be utilized as the basis for the  pro-forma  valuation of the Bank  to-be-issued
common stock.


- -------------------------------------------------
                  SELECTION SCREENS
- -------------------------------------------------


When selecting the Comparables, it was determined that the balance sheet size of
the institution  was of greater  importance than geography due to the importance
of economies of scale in a small organization.

The selection screens utilized to identify possible Comparables from the list of
394 public thrifts at June 8, 1998 included:

1.   The  IPO  date  had to be  before  January  1,  1997,  eliminating  any new
     conversions.

2.   The conversion type had to be a full standard conversion.

3.   The total asset size had to be less than or equal to $60 million.

4.   The  institution  had to listed on  either  NASDAQ,  AMEX or NYSE to ensure
     trading liquidity.

- -------------------------------------------------
                  SELECTION CRITERIA
- -------------------------------------------------


Excluded  from the  Comparable  Group were  institutions  that were  involved in
pending  mergers  or  acquisitions.  Also,  institutions  that  completed  their
conversions  within the last year were also  excluded  as the  earnings of newly
converted institutions do not reflect a full years benefit from the reinvestment
of proceeds, and thus the price/earnings multiples and return on equity measures
for these institutions tend to be skewed upward and downward respectively.

In an  ideal  world,  all  of the  Comparable  Group  would  contain  the  exact
characteristics  of the Bank. The goal of the selection  criteria  process is to
find those  institutions  that most closely match those of the Bank.  Given that
Farnsworth  Bancorp  is  such  a  small  institution,   the  list  of  potential
Comparables is severely limited and the performance ratios may vary to a greater
extent  than a  Comparable  Group  selected  for a the  conversion  of a  larger
institution. None of the Comparables selected will be exact clones of the Bank.

The  members of the  Comparable  Group were  selected  based upon the  following
criteria:

                    1.   Asset size

                    2.   Profitability

                    3.   Capital Level

                    4.   Balance Sheet Mix

                    5.   Operating Strategy

                    6.   Date of conversion

1. Asset Size The Comparable Group should have a similar asset size to the Bank.
Large  institutions  are  not  appropriate  for  the  peer  group  due to a more
extensive branch network,  greater  financial  strength,  more access to diverse
markets  and more  capacity in terms of  infrastructure.  The  Comparable  Group
ranged in size from $36.9 million to $53.0 million in total assets with a median
of $43.3  million.  The Bank's asset size was $38.7 million as of March 31, 1998
and will be $42.0  million on a pro forma basis at the midpoint of the estimated
valuation range.

================================================================================




2.  Profitability  The Comparable  Group had a median ROAA of 0.97% and a median
ROAE of 3.85%  for the most  recent  quarter  available.  The  Comparable  Group
profitability  measures  had a  dispersion  about the mean for the ROAA  measure
ranging  from a low of 0.06% to a high of 1.43%  while the ROAE  measure  ranged
from a low of 0.59% to a high of  5.70%.  The Bank had an ROAA of 0.60% and ROAE
of 10.44% for the twelve month period ending March 31, 1998. However, the Bank's
ratios include the previously mentioned one time event. If adjusted the ROAA and
ROAE would be 0.42% and 7.32%, respectively.

3. Capital Level The average equity to assets ratio for the Comparable Group was
19.36% with a high of 49.96% and a low of 9.02%. At March 31, 1998, the Bank had
an equity to assets ratio of 5.75%.  On a pro forma  basis,  at the midpoint the
Bank would have an equity to assets ratio of 13.20%.

4. Balance  Sheet Mix At March 31, 1998,  the Bank had a total net loan to asset
ratio of 73.10%.  The median loan to asset ratio for the Comparables was 72.48%,
ranging  from a low of 56.24% to a high of  89.82%.  On the  liability  side the
Bank's  deposit to asset ratio was 93.29% at March 31, 1998 while the Comparable
median was 72.32%, ranging from 39.54% to 80.90%. Additionally,  the Bank had no
borrowings as of March 31, 1998 and the Comparable  median  borrowings to assets
ratio was 6.77% with a range of 0.00% to 25.88%.

5. Operating strategy An institution's  operating  characteristics are important
because they determine  future  performance.  They also affect expected rates of
return and investor's general perception of the quality, risk and attractiveness
of a given company.  Specific operating  characteristics  include profitability,
balance sheet growth, asset quality,  capitalization,  and non-financial factors
such as management strategies and lines of business.

6. Date of conversion Recent conversions, those completed after January 1, 1997,
were excluded since the earnings of a newly converted institution do not reflect
a full year's benefits of reinvestment of conversion proceeds. Additionally, new
issues tend to trade at a discount to the market averages.

4.  Market Value Determination


- -------------------------------------------------
                     INTRODUCTION
- -------------------------------------------------


The estimated pro-forma market value of the Bank, along with certain adjustments
to its value relative to market values for the  Comparable  Group are delineated
in this  section.  The  adjustments  delineated  in this  section  are made from
potential  investors'  viewpoints.  A  potential  investor  includes  depositors
holding  subscription rights and unrelated parties who may purchase stock in the
community offering and who are assumed to be aware of all relevant and necessary
facts as they pertain to the value of the Bank relative to other publicly traded
thrift institutions and relative to alternative investment opportunities.

There are numerous criteria on which the market value adjustments are based, but
the major ones utilized for purposes of this report include:

               o    Balance Sheet Strength

               o    Asset Quality

               o    Earnings Quality, Predictability and Growth

               o    Market Area

               o    Management

               o    Dividends

               o    Liquidity of the Issue

               o    Subscription Interest

               o    Recent Regulatory Matters

               o    Market for Seasoned Thrift Stocks

               o    Acquisition Market

After  identifying  the  adjustments  that should be made to market  value,  the
pro-forma  market value for the Bank is computed  and  adjusted.  The  estimated
pro-forma  market value for the Bank is then compared with the market  valuation
ratios of the Comparable Group,  recently  converted public thrifts,  New Jersey
thrifts and the aggregate ratios for all public thrifts.

                BALANCE SHEET STRENGTH
- -------------------------------------------------


The balance  sheet  strength of an  institution  is an  important  market  value
determinant,  as  the  investment  community  considers  such  factors  as  bank
liquidity, capitalization, asset composition, funding mix, intangible levels and
interest  rate risk in assessing the  attractiveness  of investing in the common
stock of a thrift.  The following tables summarize the key financial elements of
the Bank measured against the Comparable Group.

         Asset  Composition  - The Bank's  net loan to asset  ratio of 73.10% is
         in-line with the median for the Comparable Group of 72.48%.

         Funding Mix - The Bank is funded primarily through deposits,  93.29% of
         assets,  and retained  earnings,  5.75% of assets. The Comparable Group
         has a greater  reliance on equity and  borrowings  than the Bank with a
         median  deposits to assets ratio of 72.32%,  a borrowing ratio of 6.77%
         of assets and  equity to assets  ratio of  19.36%.  The Bank's  lack of
         borrowings leaves room for an additional funding source in the future.

         Liquidity - The liquidity of the Bank and the  Comparable  Group appear
         similar and were sufficient to meet all regulatory guidelines.

         Capitalization  - The Comparable  Group's median equity to assets ratio
         of 19.36% is higher than the Bank's ratio of 5.75%,  however the Bank's
         pro  forma  equity to assets  ratio is  13.20% at the  midpoint  of the
         valuation range.

         Intangible  Levels  - One of the  most  important  factors  influencing
         market values is the level of intangibles  that an institution  carries
         on its books.  Thrifts trade more on tangible  book than on book.  Only
         one  of  the  Comparables  has  intangible  assets.  The  Bank  had  no
         intangible assets.

         Interest  Rate Risk - The Bank has a moderate  level of  interest  rate
         risk,  evidenced by a net portfolio value that falls below the starting
         level of tangible equity at the +200 basis point rate shock.

The Bank's  asset mix,  pro forma  capital  levels,  and  intangible  levels are
in-line with the Comparables. The Comparables have a slightly higher reliance on
borrowings.  Based on the similarity of the balance sheet structure  between the
Comparable Group and the Bank, no adjustment is warranted for this measure.

                    ASSET QUALITY

The asset quality of an institution is an important determinant of market value.
The investment community considers levels of nonperforming loans, REO and levels
of ALLL in assessing the  attractiveness  of investing in the common stock of an
institution.

The Bank has a slightly  lower level of  non-performing  loans  ("NPL") to total
loans at 0.94% when compared to the  Comparable  Group at 1.06%.  The Bank had a
non-performing  assets  to  assets  ratio of  0.69%,  which  is  lower  than the
Comparable  median of 1.26%. The Bank's reserve levels,  46.99% of nonperforming
loans and 0.44% of total loans, are lower than the Comparable  medians of 69.51%
of nonperforming  loans and 0.67% of loans. The Bank's stronger asset quality is
mitigated by the Bank's low levels of reserves when  compared to the  Comparable
Group.  As such, no adjustment is warranted for this element.

- -------------------------------------------------
   EARNINGS QUALITY, PREDICTABILITY AND GROWTH
- -------------------------------------------------


The earnings quality,  predictability and growth are critical  components in the
establishment  of market  values for thrifts.  Thrift  earnings are  primarily a
function of:

                    o    net interest income

                    o    loan loss provision

                    o    non-interest income

                    o    non-interest expense

The quality and  predictability  of earnings is dependent  on both  internal and
external  factors.  Some internal  factors include the mix of the balance sheet,
the interest rate sensitivity of the balance sheet,  the asset quality,  and the
infrastructure  in place to deliver  the assets and  liabilities  to the public.
External factors include the competitive market for both assets and liabilities,
the global interest rate scenario, local economic factors and regulatory issues.

Each of these factors can influence the earnings of an institution,  and each of
these factors is volatile.  Investors prefer stability and consistency. As such,
solid,  consistent earnings are preferred to high but risky earnings.  Investors
also prefer  earnings to be diversified  and not entirely  dependent on interest
income.

The Bank had a net loss of $20 thousand for the fiscal year ended  September 30,
1996.  This  loss  included  a  $192  thousand   one-time   deposit  premium  to
recapitalize SAIF ($121,000 thousand net of taxes). Excluding this non-recurring
expense,  adjusted net income would have been $101 thousand.  The annualized net
income for the six month  period  ending March 31, 1998 was $228  thousand.  The
March 31, 1998 earnings were skewed by a collection on a deficiency judgement of
$54 thousand,  $34 thousand on an after-tax basis.  The adjusted  annualized six
month net income for March 31, 1998, was $160 thousand.

If adjusted for the one-time  collection  of a  deficiency,  the Bank's ROAA and
ROAE would have been 0.42% and 7.32%, respectively. The adjusted return on asset
ratio is below the  Comparable  Group median,  however,  the adjusted  return on
equity ratio is above the Comparable  Group. The Bank's higher ROAE is partially
due to its low capital levels.

Compared to the Comparable  Group, the Bank's yield on assets is 64 basis points
lower,  the cost of funds is 22 basis  points  lower,  noninterest  income is 47
basis points higher (18 basis points if adjusted for the $54 thousand deficiency
judgement), and noninterest expense is 41 basis points higher, resulting in a 36
basis point disadvantage (65 basis points on an adjusted basis).

Taken  collectively,  the income of the Bank can be measured  by the  efficiency
ratio,  where the Bank has a disadvantage of 8.41% as compared to the Comparable
median.

Currently,  investors  are focusing on earnings  sustainability  as the interest
rate  volatility has caused wide a variation in income levels.  With the intense
competition  for both assets and  deposits,  banks can not easily  replace  lost
spread and margin with balance sheet growth.

Based on the Bank's historical  earnings  performance,  a downward adjustment is
warranted to the market value for earnings.

                     MARKET AREA
- -------------------------------------------------


The market area that an institution serves has a significant impact on value, as
future success is  interrelated  with the economic,  demographic and competitive
aspects of the market. Specifics on the Bank's market were delineated in Section
2 - Market Area  Analysis.  The  following are  discussions  with respect to the
various data sets utilized for the market analysis

         Demographic  Data - Population in both of the Bank's markets have grown
         between  1980 and 1990.  However,  Florence  is  projected  to  decline
         through  2002 and  Bordentown  is projected to grow at a rate below the
         state level.  The  population  is slightly less educated than the state
         but the median household income is slightly above the state level.

         Competitive  Data - The Bank's  branches,  as  mentioned  earlier,  are
         located in Florence and  Bordentown.  Deposits in the  Florence  market
         have  declined by 1.54%  while  deposits  in  Bordentown  have grown by
         11.19%. The average branch size in both markets is low.

Based on these factors no adjustment is warranted for this factor.

- -------------------------------------------------
                      MANAGEMENT
- -------------------------------------------------


The  Bank  has  developed  a good  management  team  with  considerable  banking
experience.  The Bank's organizational chart is reasonable for an institution of
its size and complexity. The Board is active and oversees and advises on all key
strategic  and policy  decisions and holds the  management  to high  performance
standards.

As such, no adjustment appears to be warranted for this factor.

- -------------------------------------------------
                  DIVIDENDS
- -------------------------------------------------


Historically,  banks have not established  dividend  policies  immediately at or
after conversion to stock ownership.  Rather, newly converted  institutions,  in
general,  have preferred to establish an earnings track record, fully invest the
conversion proceeds,  and allow for seasoning of the stock before establishing a
dividend policy.  In the late 1980's and early 1990's however,  there has been a
tendency toward initiating dividend policies concurrent with the conversion as a
means of increasing the attractiveness of the issue and to utilize the proceeds.

The last few years  have seen yet  another  shift  away from  dividend  policies
concurrent  with  conversion.  Recent issues have been fully or  oversubscribing
without  the  need  for  the  additional  enticement  of  dividends.  After  the
conversion is another issue,  however.  Recent  pressures on ROE and on internal
rate of returns to investors  has prompted the industry  toward cash  dividends.
This  trend is  exacerbated  by the lack of growth  potential.  Typically,  when
institutions  are in a growth mode, they issue stock dividends or do not declare
a dividend.  When growth is stunted,  these  institutions  shift toward reducing
equity levels and thus utilize cash dividends as a tool in this regard.

Seven of the ten  Comparable  institutions  had declared  dividends.  The median
dividend payout ratio for the Comparable  Group was 37.67%,  ranging from a high
of 609.30% to a low of 0.00%. The Bank on a pro forma basis (at the mid point of
the value range) will have an equity to assets  ratio of 13.20%  compared to the
Comparable  Group's  median of  19.36%.  It will not  therefore,  be able to pay
dividends of 37% of earnings. A slight downward adjustment is indicated for this
factor.

              LIQUIDITY OF THE ISSUE
- -------------------------------------------------


The Comparable  Group is by definition  composed only of companies that trade in
the public markets with all of the Comparables trading on NASDAQ. Typically, the
number  of  shares  outstanding  and  the  market  capitalization   provides  an
indication  of how much  liquidity  there will be in a given  stock.  The actual
liquidity can be measured by volume traded over a given period of time.

The market  capitalization  values of the  Comparable  Group range from a low of
$2.7 million to a high of $20.3 million with a median market  capitalization  of
$10.9  million.  The Bank expects to have $4.2 million of market  capital at the
midpoint on a pro forma basis.

Since the size of the  offering  is small,  it is  unlikely  that an active  and
liquid trading market will develop and be maintained. It is anticipated the Bank
will be traded on the OTC Bulletin Board.  Therefore,  a downward adjustment for
this factor appears warranted.

Based on the stock  appreciation  for both thrift stocks and for the U.S. equity
market in general,  the market for public  offerings has attracted a significant
level of  attention.  The market for public  offerings  is driven by the lack of
supply of stocks to meet the demand  created  primarily  by the growth of mutual
funds. Thrift IPO's have received a greater amount of attention due to the price
"pops" of recent standard conversions.

As illustrated, thrift stocks have appreciated substantially on the first day of
trading.  Additionally,  the  vast  majority  of the  recent  conversions,  have
oversubscribed and have closed at the supermaximum of the estimated value range.
As such, an upward  adjustment  for  subscription  interest is warranted at this
time.

              RECENT REGULATORY MATTERS
- -------------------------------------------------


As a result of large after-market price increases of conversions during 1993 and
early 1994,  the  regulatory  agencies have issued  guidelines on appraisals for
conversions.  The  regulators  publicly  indicated  that only  modest  immediate
after-market  price increases are appropriate for converting  institutions.  The
guidelines  issued  November  22, 1994,  indicate  that the  reasonableness  and
adequacy  of an  appraisal  will be  partially  judged  by the  immediate  price
movement of the conversion  stock in the  after-market,  using a very short time
frame of the second day of trading  following  closing.  The guidelines  further
discuss that the average price  appreciation  for all IPO's has been between 10%
and 15%, which was deemed to be too high.

At around the same time  period,  IPO pricing  was  elevated on a book basis and
IPO's in late 1994 did not experience much appreciation.  In fact, numerous IPOs
actually  depreciated.  1995 brought  back lower  premiums to book but they have
been rising  throughout 1996 to approximately  the same levels as late 1994. The
trend has  continued  in 1998 with IPO's  popping  over 50% on average,  for the
first day of trading.

The recent interest in thrift IPO's has caused large oversubscriptions, which in
turn  have  caused  large  price  appreciations  in the  aftermarket.  Recently,
regulators have been indicating the need for increased  pricing of new issues in
the attempt lessen the  aftermarket  appreciation.  Also,  regulators  have been
concerned with capital  redistributions from thrifts which have converted within
the past three years. Regulatory agencies are publicly indicating that they will
enforce the limits of stock buy backs to: 0% in the first year, 5% in the second
year and 5% in the third year.

This threat to newly converted institutions, of not being able to use all of the
capital markets tools  available,  will hurt the stock's  attractiveness,  as it
will  put  them at a  significant  competitive  disadvantage  to the rest of the
industry.

As such,  a  downward  adjustment  for this  measure is  warranted  based on the
uncertainty surrounding the regulatory environment.

As the Figures 39 and 40 illustrate,  the  performance of the SNL index has been
robust through 1992,  1993,  1994 and 1995.  The dip in the index,  occurring in
late 1994,  was the product of the  interest  rate rise during that period along
with the overall  uneasiness  in the stock market in general.  The rate scenario
covering the same period as the SNL index can be seen in the following chart.

As the graph demonstrates,  the rate rise in late 1994 correlates closely to the
fall in thrift prices.  The drop in rates in 1995 was one of the primary drivers
of the rapid rise in the SNL index.  During 1996,  rates increased  slightly and
then remained stable, fueling the rise in the conversion prices. 1997 has seen a
continuation of this trend, with the median IPO pricing at 71.1%,  71.4%, 72.5%,
and 76.6% of book value for the first,  second,  third,  and fourth  quarters of
1997, respectively, and 78.4% in the first quarter of 1998.

Thrift pricing in general was robust in 1995 due to the falling  interest rates,
the industry consolidation and renewed earnings.  Contrasting this view, in late
1994  investors  faced  shrinking  spreads and  margins due to rising  rates and
consolidation  that was tailing off and slowing down. The  blockbuster  level of
consolidations  have led many investors to think that all  institutions are fair
game for acquisitions and prices have risen accordingly.

As  Figure 41 and 42 show,  in 1997,  the flat  interest  rate  environment  has
contributed  to the  appreciation  in the SNL  index.  In  addition,  the market
continues to demonstrate evidence of acquisition speculation.

A downward  adjustment for this measure is warranted,  as the  institution  will
trade at a discount to the market until the capital is adequately invested.

From 1994 through June 8, 1998,  thrift deal prices  remained high.  Nationally,
all pricing multiples are up in 1998.  Regionally,  price to earnings,  price to
book and price to  tangible  book are down,  while  price to assets and price to
deposits are up. Deals less than $10 million were priced at substantially  lower
multiples.

The "take-out"  premium over thrifts appears to be approximately 30% to 40%. The
Comparables  appear to be trading at  acquisition  earnings  multiples  and have
therefore capped the price to book multiples.

A downward  adjustment  is warranted  for this  factor,  as the Bank will not be
readily available for acquisition immediately following the reorganization.

                 ADJUSTMENTS TO VALUE
- -------------------------------------------------


Overall,  FinPro  believes  that the  Bank  pro-forma  market  value  should  be
discounted   relative  to  the  Comparable   Group,   reflecting  the  following
adjustments.

Key Valuation Parameters                                    Valuation Adjustment

Management                                                  No Adjustment

Liquidity of the Issue                                      Downward

Subscription Interest                                       Upward

Recent Regulatory Matters                                   Downward

Market for Seasoned Thrift Stocks                           Downward

Acquisition Market                                          Downward


As a  result  of  all  the  factors  discussed,  a  full  offering  discount  of
approximately 50% on an earnings multiple basis and a 35% discount on a price to
book basis appears to be reasonable.

                  VALUATION APPROACH
- -------------------------------------------------


In applying the accepted  valuation  methodology  promulgated by the regulators,
i.e.,  the pro-forma  market value  approach,  four key pricing  multiples  were
considered. The four multiples include:

         Price to earnings ("P/E")

         Price to tangible book value ("P/TB")

         Price to book value ("P/B")

         Price to assets ("P/A")

All of the approaches were calculated on a pro-forma basis including the effects
of the conversion  proceeds.  All of the  assumptions  utilized are presented in
Exhibits 10.

To  ascertain  the  pro-forma  estimated  market  value of the Bank,  the market
multiples for the Comparable  Group,  all publicly traded thrifts and the recent
(1997 to date) standard conversions were assessed.

Since thrift  earnings in general have had a high degree of volatility  over the
past  decade,  the  P/B  approach  had  gained  in  importance  and is  utilized
frequently as the benchmark for market value. It is interesting to note that the
P/B  approach  is more of a benchmark  than a reliable  valuation  technique.  A
better  approach  is the P/TB  approach.  In  general,  investors  tend to price
financial institutions on a tangible book basis, because it incorporates the P/B
approach adjusted for intangibles.  Most recently, the P/E approach has regained
favor among investors.

The  evidence  of the  movement  towards  the  P/E  Multiple  can be seen in the
acquisition,  trading and IPO markets.  The P/LTM EPS multiple for the completed
mergers is 24.4x,  for all public thrifts the trading P/LTM EPS is 19.9x and for
recent standard conversions is 17.4x.

As such,  in  estimating  the market value for the Bank,  the most  emphasis was
placed on the P/E approach. The P/B and P/TB were given much less weight and the
P/A ratio was not given much weight at all.

In terms of the market multiples, most weight was given to the Comparable Group.
The second  highest  weight was afforded to recent  standard  conversions.  Less
weight was  ascribed  to all public  thrifts  and all New  Jersey  thrifts.  The
multiples for the Comparable Group, all publicly traded thrifts,  and New Jersey
publicly traded thrifts are shown in Exhibit 8.

Based upon the premiums and  discounts  defined in the section  above,  the Bank
pricing at the midpoint is estimated to be $4,150,000.  Based upon a range below
and above the midpoint value,  the relative values are $3,527,500 at the minimum
and $4,772,500 at the maximum respectively. At the supermaximum of the range the
offering value would be $5,488,380.

At the various levels of the estimated value range, the offering would result in
the following offering data:

As figure 53 demonstrates,  the Bank is priced at a discount of 49.56% on a core
earnings  basis.  A discount  of 31.51% is applied to the Bank  relative  to the
Comparable Group on a price to book basis.

Recently,  thrift  public  offerings  have been  over-subscribing  and have been
closing at the  supermaximum  of the estimated  value range.  Therefore,  a more
meaningful  comparison  would be the Bank's multiples at the supermaximum of the
EVR to the Comparable  Group.  Figure 54 shows the Bank (at the supermaximum) is
priced at a 37.59% discount on a core earnings basis and at a 25.31% discount on
a book basis.

The Bank (at the  midpoint  of the EVR) is priced at a 1.51%  discount on a book
basis and at a 29.89% discount to unadjusted  earnings,  when compared to recent
standard conversions.

As the core earnings for recent standard conversions is not available, it is not
possible to compare the  earnings  multiple  for the  midpoint or  supermaximum,
however,  the Bank's pro forma core earnings multiple at the supermaximum,  when
compared  to the recent  standard  conversion  earnings  multiple  represents  a
discount of 2.65%  ((16.95-17.40)/16.95)  and is offset by the  premium,  at the
supermaximum, of 7.41% on a book basis.

                VALUATION CONCLUSION
- -------------------------------------------------


It is, therefore,  our opinion that as of June 12, 1998, the estimated pro-forma
market value of the Bank in a full offering was  $4,150,000 at the midpoint of a
range with a minimum of  $3,527,500  to a maximum of $4,772,500 at 15% below and
15% above the midpoint of the range  respectively.  Assuming an adjusted maximum
value of 15% above the maximum value, the adjusted maximum value or supermaximum
value in a full offering is  $5,488,380.  The stock will be issued at $10.00 per
share.

Pro-forma  comparisons of the Bank's value range with the Comparable  Group, all
public  thrifts,  New Jersey public thrifts and the recent  standard  conversion
group is shown in Exhibit 10.
