                 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

      Description of Business

      In 1998, Willow Grove Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company) completed the
reorganization of Willow Grove Bank (the "Bank") into the federal mutual holding
company form of ownership whereby the Bank converted into a federally chartered
stock savings bank as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and the company
became a majority owned subsidiary of Willow Grove Mutual Holding Company (the
"MHC").

      The Company provides a full range of banking services through the Bank's
eleven branches in Montgomery, Bucks, and Philadelphia counties in Pennsylvania.
All of the branches are full-service and offer commercial and retail banking
products and services. These products include checking accounts
(interest-bearing and non-interest-bearing), savings accounts, and certificates
of deposit, business loans, real estate loans, and consumer loans. The Company
is subject to competition from other financial institutions and other companies
that offer financial services. The Company is subject to the regulations of
certain federal agencies and undergoes periodic examinations by these regulatory
authorities.

2. Basis of Financial Statement Presentation

      The accompanying consolidated financial statements were prepared in
accordance with instructions to Form 10-Q, and therefore, do not include
information or footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial
position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles. However, all normal, recurring adjustments
which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of
these financial statements, have been included. These financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the
notes thereto for the period ended June 30, 2000. The results for the interim
periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for the year ending June 30, 2001.

      In preparing the financial statements, management is required to make
certain estimates and assumptions that affect the carrying values of certain
assets and liabilities, and revenues and expenses for the reporting periods
contained herein, in particular the allowance for loan losses. Actual results
could differ from such estimates.

3. Earnings Per Share

      Earnings per share, basic and diluted, were $0.25 and $0.25, respectively,
for the three months ended September 30, 2000. This compares to basic and
diluted earnings per share of $0.24 and $0.24, respectively, for the three
months ended September 30, 1999.

6. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

      Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

      In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133 "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." This statement, as amended,
establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments,
including certain derivative instruments imbedded in other contracts,
(collectively referred to as derivatives) and for hedging activities. It
requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or
liabilities in the statement of financial condition and measure those
instruments at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a
derivative depends on the intended use of the derivative and the resulting
designation. If certain conditions are met, a derivative may be specifically
designated as (a) a hedge of certain exposure to changes in the fair value of a
recognized asset or an unrecognized firm commitment, (b) a hedge of an exposure
to variable cash flows of a forecasted transaction, or (c) a hedge of a foreign
currency exposure. This statement, as amended, is effective for all fiscal
quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. The Company adopted SFAS
No. 133 on July 1, 2000. The Company has determined that there is no impact on
operations, financial condition, and equity as a result of the adoption of SFAS
No. 133.

      Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and
Extinguishments of Liabilities

      In September 2000, the FASB issued SFAS No. 140, "Accounting for Transfers
and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities." This
statement supercedes and replaces the guidance in SFAS No. 125. It revises the
standards for accounting for securitizations and other transfers of financial
assets and collateral and requires certain disclosures, although it carries over
most of SFAS No. 125's provisions without reconsideration.


                                       8
<PAGE>

      The SFAS No. 140 is effective for transfers and servicing of financial
assets and extinguishments of liabilities occurring after March 31, 2001 and for
recognition and reclassification of collateral and for disclosures relating to
securitization transactions and collateral for fiscal years ending after
December 15, 2000 and is to be applied prospectively with certain exceptions.
Other than those exceptions, earlier or retroactive application of its
accounting provisions is not permitted. The Company has not yet determined the
impact, if any, of this statement on the Company's financial condition, equity,
results of operations, or disclosure.

7. Comprehensive Income

      The following table displays net income and the components of other
comprehensive income to arrive at total comprehensive income. For the Company,
the only component of other comprehensive income is the change in the estimated
fair value of investment securities available-for-sale.

8. Dividends

      On July 25, 2000, the Company declared a dividend on its common stock of
$0.10 per share payable on August 25, 2000 to owners of record on August 11,
2000. The MHC, which owns 2,812,974 shares of common stock, waived its portion
of this dividend, reducing the actual dividend payout amount to $215,000. The
dollar amount of dividends waived by the MHC is considered a restriction of
retained earnings of the Company. The amount of any dividend waived by the MHC
shall be available for declaration of a dividend solely to the MHC. At September
30, 2000, the cumulative amount of dividends waived by the MHC was $1.5 million.

Changes in Financial Condition

      General. Total assets of the Company increased by $20.6 million or 3.7% to
$580.7 million at September 30, 2000 compared to $560.1 million at June 30,
2000. The increase in assets resulted from loans increasing $7.1 million or 1.7%
and securities available for sale ("AFS") increasing $46.3 million or 65.6%
primarily as a result of adjustable rate securities purchased utilizing proceeds
from a $35.0 million fixed rate loan sale during the quarter. Total liabilities
amounted to $518.6 million, an increase of 3.8% from June 30, 2000. Deposits
declined $4.9 million or 1.1% to $447.9 million while borrowings increased $26.9
million during the quarter. Total stockholders' equity increased to $62.1
million at September 30, 2000, which included the purchase of 27,500 additional
shares of treasury stock as part of an ongoing stock repurchase program.

      Cash and cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents amounted to $12.1
million and $14.7 million at September 30, 2000 and June 30, 2000, respectively.
Cash decreases during the period were primarily a result of funding loan growth.

      Assets Available for Sale. At September 30, 2000, assets that were
classified AFS consisted of securities totaling $116.9 million and loans
totaling $5.0 million. This compares to $70.6 million in AFS securities and
$35.8 million in AFS loans at June 30, 2000. The increase of $46.3 million or
65.6% in AFS securities and the decrease of $30.8 million or 86.1% in AFS loans
were primarily a result of adjustable rate securities purchased with proceeds
from a $35.0 million fixed rate loan sale during the quarter. At September 30,
2000 the Company had unrealized losses on securities available for sale of $2.7
million compared to unrealized losses on securities available for sale of $3.7
million at June 30, 2000. The decrease in unrealized losses is a result of
decreases in the general level of interest rates.

      Loans. The net loan portfolio of the Company increased from $424.9 million
at June 30, 2000 to $432.1 million at September 30, 2000. The increase in the
Company's net loan portfolio was due, in large part, to the Company's continuing
efforts to expand its lending activities with a concentrated effort to expand
multi-family, commercial real estate, consumer and business loans. However, the
decline in multi-family and business loans for the three-month period ended
September 30, 2000, in managements opinion, is temporary in nature.

      During the three months ended September 30, 2000, the Company's commercial
real estate mortgage loans increased by $6.1 million or 7.6%, construction loans
increased $2.1 million or 14.1%, home equity loans increased $2.2 million or
3.0%, single-family residential mortgage loans decreased by $2.2 million or
1.0% and multi-family loans decreased $603 thousand or 2.8%. During the same
period, the Company's other consumer loans increased $734 thousand or 9.4% and
commercial business loans decreased $1.2 million or 4.6%. Such changes in the
Bank's loan portfolio reflect the Company's continuing efforts to diversify its
loan portfolio and increase its holdings in loans that generally have higher
yields and shorter terms to maturity and/or repricing than single-family
residential mortgage loans. However, commercial real estate loans, multi-family
residential mortgage loans, construction loans, home equity loans and other
consumer loans all generally are deemed to have increased credit risk
characteristics in comparison to single-family residential mortgage loans.

      Intangible Assets. The Company's intangible assets amounted to $1.4
million and $1.5 million at September 30, 2000 and June 30, 2000, respectively.
Such assets are comprised of goodwill and a core deposit intangible resulting
from the Bank's purchase of three branch offices from another institution in
March 1994. The goodwill is being amortized on a straight-line basis over a
15-year period while the core deposit intangible is being amortized over 10
years.

      Deposits. The Company's total deposits decreased by $4.9 million, or 1.1%,
to $447.9 million at September 30, 2000 compared to $452.9 million at June 30,
2000. The reduction was primarily a result of increased competition for deposits
in a rising rate environment. Savings accounts declined $1.2 million or 2.2%,
checking accounts declined $2.6 million or 3.5% and certificates of deposit
decreased $1.1 million or less than 1%. The Company intends to continue its
marketing efforts promoting core deposits to help fund asset growth and believes
the decline in deposit balances during the three-months ended September 30, 2000
is temporary in nature.

      Federal Home Loan Bank Advances. The Company utilizes advances from the
FHLB of Pittsburgh primarily as an additional source of funds to meet loan
demand. FHLB advances increased $26.9 million or 71.6% to $64.4 million at
September 30, 2000 compared to $37.5 million at June 30, 2000. We also use FHLB
advances to fund certain investments approved by our Board of Directors. At
September 30, 2000 $15.0 million in borrowings were designated to fund these
strategies compared to $10.0 million outstanding at June 30, 2000.

      Equity. Total stockholders' equity of the Company amounted to $62.1
million or 10.7% of assets at September 30, 2000 compared to $60.6 million or
10.8% of total assets at June 30, 2000. The increase of $1.5 million or 2.4% was
attributed to increases in net income and a reduction in net unrealized losses
on securities available for sale partially offset by dividends paid and treasury
stock purchased. Net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2000 was $1.2
million. Total stockholders' equity of the Company included net unrealized
losses, net of taxes, of $1.7 million and $2.3 million on securities available
for sale at September 30, 2000 and June 30, 2000, respectively. The Company paid
cash dividends of $0.10 per share during the quarter ended September 30, 2000.
These regular dividends totaled $215,000. The Company acquired 27,500 shares of
additional Treasury stock during the quarter at an average per share price of
$10.65.

      As of September 30, 2000, the Company had repurchased 50,000 shares of its
common stock in connection with its authorization to repurchase 10% of its
common stock, or 233,000 shares. Management will continue to repurchase shares
of common stock under this authorization as market conditions warrant.

      Results of Operations

      General - Net income for the three-month period ended September 30, 2000
was $1.2 million. This compares to similar net income of $1.2 million for the
respective prior year period. Net interest income grew as a result of a
continuing larger interest-earning asset base. For the three-month period ended
September 30, 2000, there was a reduction in provision for loan loss and an
increase in non-interest income compared to the same prior year period. For the
three-month period ended September 30, 2000 the increase in net interest income
was offset by increases in non-interest expense compared to the same prior year
period. Return on average assets and return on average equity were 0.85% and
7.94%, respectively, for the three-months ended September 30, 2000. This
compares to return on average assets and return on average equity of 1.00% and
8.16%, respectively, for the comparable prior year period.

      Net Interest Income - Net interest income is determined by our interest
rate spread (i.e., the difference between the yields on interest-earning assets
and the rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities) and also the amount of
interest-earning assets relative to interest-bearing and non-interest-bearing
deposit liabilities.

      For the three-month period ended September 30, 2000, net interest income
increased $441,000 or 9.5% compared to the three-month period ended September
30, 1999. During the three-month period ended September 30, 2000, the increase
in net interest income was a result of increased volume of interest-earning
assets compared to interest-bearing liabilities. The benefits associated with
volume increases of interest-earning assets were partially offset by a decline
in interest rate spread and by a slight decline in the ratio of interest-earning
assets to interest-bearing liabilities. Interest rate spread declined 36 basis
points to 2.72% at September 30, 2000 compared to 3.08% at September 30, 1999.
The decrease in interest rate spread is a result of increased interest costs
associated with fundings, specifically certificates of deposit and borrowings,
in excess of increased yields associated with interest-earning assets.

      Average interest-earning assets increased $86.1 million or 18.2% for the
three-months ended September 30, 2000 compared to the respective prior year
period. The increase in interest-earning assets more than offset the increase in
interest-bearing liabilities which, for the three-month period ended September
30, 2000, increased on average $74.2 million over the same period one year ago.
However, the ratio of average interest-earning assets to average
interest-bearing liabilities declined 108 basis points to 121.67% for the
three-month period ended September 30, 2000 compared to 122.75% at September 30,
1999. This decrease is primarily a result of growth in interest-earning assets
funded with interest-bearing liabilities as opposed to other non-interest
bearing liability sources such as capital as was the case in respective prior
periods. For the three-month period ended September 30, 2000, the decline in
interest rate spread combined with the decline in interest-earning assets to
interest-bearing liabilities reduced net interest margin. Net interest margin
declined 33 basis points from 3.94% for the three-month period ended September
30, 1999 to 3.61% for the three-month period ended September 30, 2000.

      The following table presents the average daily balances for various
categories of assets and liabilities, and income and expense related to those
assets and liabilities for the three-month period ended September 30, 2000 and
1999. The Company maintained average balances of tax exempt securities of $2.6
million and $2.0 for the periods ending September 30, 2000 and 1999,
respectively, for which the tax exempt yield has not been adjusted to a taxable
equivalent yield. Loans receivable include non-accrual loans. [OBJECT OMITTED]

      Interest Income - Interest income on loans increased $1.4 million or 18.3%
for the three-month period ended September 30, 2000 compared to the three-month
prior year period. The increase in average loan balances combined with increase
in average loan rates was primarily responsible for the increase in income.
Interest income on securities and other interest-earning assets increased
$580,000 or 46.7% for the three-month period ended September 30, 2000 compared
to the respective prior year period. The increase in average securities balances
and increase in average securities rates accounted for the increase during the
three-month period ended September 30, 2000 compared to the three-month period
ended September 30, 1999.

      Interest Expense - Interest expense on deposit accounts increased $1.0
million or 25.7% for the three-months ended September 30, 2000 compared to the
three-month prior year period. The increase in average balances on deposits and
increase average deposit rates were primarily responsible for the increase.
Interest expense on borrowings increased $530,000 or 161.6% for the three-month
period ended September 30, 2000 compared to the respective prior year period.
The increase in borrowings was in part to provide an additional source of funds
to the Company for the purpose of originating loans in our market area as part
of our plan to diversify the loan portfolio and to replace what management
believes is the temporary loss of deposits. Management has continued its
attempts to be competitive with interest rates paid on deposits in the Company's
market area and maintains an optimistic outlook with respect to its' efforts to
acquire additional deposits in the future.

      Provision for Loan Losses - The Company's provision for loan losses was
$110,000 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2000. This compares to a
provision for loan losses of $270,000 for the comparable prior year period ended
September 30, 1999. The decline in provision for loan loss was a result
primarily of fewer new loan originations in the three-month period ended
September 30, 2000 compared to the three-month period ended September 30, 1999.
The ratio of allowance for loan losses to net loans increased eight basis points
or 9.7% to .91% at September 30, 2000 compared to .83% at September 30, 1999.
The allowance coverage ratio increase is a result of continued loan growth and
the Company's desire to make appropriate provisions given the increasing
inherent risk of a diversifying loan portfolio.

      Non-interest Expense - Non-interest expense, increased $604,000 or 21.8%
for the three-month period ended September 30, 2000 compared to the similar
period in the prior year. Compensation and employee benefits expense increased
$428,000 or 27.2% due to general increases in salary levels, compensation
charges related to the ESOP, RRP and the increase in Company employees as a
result of operation of two additional banking offices and the expansion of our
lending function to support the Company's loan diversification plan. Occupancy
and furniture and fixture expensed increased $140,000 or 48.6% as a result of
management's continuing efforts to update equipment and facilities and the
operation of two additional banking offices and an operations center to better
service the Company's needs. Deposit account services expense increased $32,000
or 22.9% as a result of the growth of additional accounts associated with two
additional banking offices as well as continued efforts in acquiring core
deposit accounts. All other non-interest operating expenses, in the aggregate,
increased $4,000 or less than 1%.

      Income Tax - The provision for income taxes was $697,000 for the
three-month period ended September 30, 2000. This compares to $652,000 for the
three-month period ended September 30, 1999. The increase in provisions for
taxes primarily relates to increases in pre-tax income for the corresponding
three-month period ended September 30, 2000 compared to the respective prior
year period.

Liquidity and Commitments

      The Company's liquidity, represented by cash and cash equivalents, is a
product of its operating, investing, and financing activities. The Company's
primary sources of funds are deposits, amortizations, prepayments and maturities
of outstanding loans and mortgage-backed securities, maturities of investment
securities and other short-term investments and funds provided from operations.
The Company also utilizes borrowings, generally in the form of FHLB advances, as
a source of funds. While scheduled payments from the amortization of loans and
mortgage related securities and maturing investment securities and short-term
investments are relatively predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and loan
prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic
conditions and competition. In addition, the Company invests excess funds in
short-term interest-earning assets which provide liquidity to meet lending
requirements.

      Liquidity management is both a daily and long term function of business
management. Excess liquidity is generally invested in short-term investments
such as U.S. Treasury securities. The Company uses its sources of funds
primarily to meet its ongoing commitments, to pay maturing certificates of
deposit and savings withdrawals, fund loan commitments and maintain a portfolio
of mortgage backed and mortgage related securities and investment securities. At
September 30, 2000, the total approved investment and loan origination
commitments outstanding amounted to $21.7 million. Certificates of deposit
scheduled to mature in one year or less at September 30, 2000 totaled $216.0
million. Based on historical experience, management believes that a significant
portion of maturing deposits will remain with the Company. The Company has the
ability to utilize borrowings, typically in the form of FHLB advances as an
additional source of funds. The maximum borrowing capacity available to the
Company from the Federal Home Loan Bank was $242.4 million, based on qualifying
collateral. The Company is required to maintain a minimum of 4% of its assets in
regulatory eligible liquid investments. As of September 30, 2000, the Company
had 25.4% in eligible liquid investments. The Company anticipates that it will
continue to have sufficient funds, together with borrowings, to meet its current
commitments.

Capital

      At September 30, 2000 and June 30, 2000, the Bank had regulatory capital
which was well in excess of regulatory limits set by the Office of Thrift
Supervision. The current requirements and the Bank's actual capital levels are
detailed below:

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk

      For a discussion of the Company's asset and liability management policies
as well as the potential impact of interest rate changes upon the market value
of the Company's portfolio equity, see "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the Company's Annual Report for
the year ended June 30, 2000. Management, as part of its regular practices,
performs periodic reviews of the impact of interest rate changes upon net
interest income and the market value of the Company's portfolio equity.
Management closely monitors interest rate risk and takes appropriate short-term
actions to maintain this risk at acceptable levels while focusing on a
longer-term loan diversification plan, which concentrates on the acquisition of
shorter maturity or repricing assets.

      During the quarter ended September 30, 2000, the Company sold
approximately $35 million in fixed-rate single-family mortgage loans and
reinvested the proceeds of this sale into adjustable-rate mortgage-backed
securities. The Company expects the results of this transaction to reduce its
interest rate sensitivity as measured by the OTS Net Portfolio Model.

Part II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

      The Company is involved in routine legal proceedings in the normal course
of business which, in the aggregate, are believed by management to be immaterial
to the financial condition of the Company.
