4.   Net Income (Loss) Per Share of Common Stock
     Basic income (loss) per share of common stock is computed by dividing net
     income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
     (less unearned ESOP shares) during the period. Diluted net income (loss)
     per share of common stock is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the
     weighted average number of common shares and common stock equivalents
     outstanding during the period. For loss periods, diluted net loss per share
     is the same as basic net loss per share. The inclusion of common stock
     equivalents in loss periods would be anti dilutive. For the three and six
     month periods ended June 30, 1999, the weighted average number of shares
     outstanding was 1,730,361. Net income (loss) per share is computed from the
     date of conversion.

PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations

Forward Looking Statements

Information set forth below contains certain forward-looking statements, which
are based on assumptions, and describes future plans, strategies and
expectations of First Community Financial Corporation (First Community). These
forward-looking statements are generally identified by use of the words
"believe", "expect", "intend", "anticipate", "estimate", "project", or similar
expressions. First Community's ability to predict results or the actual effect
of future plans and strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors which could have
a materially adverse effect on the operations of First Community and its wholly
owned subsidiary , Community Savings Bank SSB ("Community Savings") include, but
are not limited to, changes in: interest rates, general economic conditions,
legislation and regulation, monetary and fiscal policies of the U.S. Government
including policies of the U.S. Treasury and the Federal Reserve Board, the
quality or composition of the loan or investment portfolios, demand for loan
products, deposit flows, competition, demand for financial services in its
market area and accounting principles and guidelines. These risks and
uncertainties should be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and
undue reliance should not be placed on such statements.

Financial Condition At June 30, 1999
Compared to December 31, 1998

Total assets increased 12.5% to $194.5 million at June 30, 1999, compared to
$172.9 million at December 31, 1998. The increase in assets was principally a
result of $ 25.2 million of net proceeds received from the company's successful
initial public offering completed June 21, 1999.

Loans held for investment, net of reserves increased 5.7% at June 30, 1999 to
$134.5 million from December 31, 1998 balance of $127.2 million. At June
30,1999, approximately 66.9% of the Community Savings' gross loan portfolio
consisted of loans secured by one- to- four family residential properties. At
December 31, 1998, 75.1% of gross loans were secured by 1-4 family residential
properties. Loan production continued to emphasize commercial and consumer
credits in an effort to diversify the loan portfolio and reduce the reliance on
single family 1-4 residential loans.

Securities increased 24.2% at June 30, 1999 to $38.6 million compared to the
December 31, 1998 balance of $31.1 million. The increase in securities is
directly attributable to the proceeds received from the initial public offering.
The six-month average balance on securities decreased 10.9 % for the period
ended June 30, 1999 to $31.1 million compared to the $34.9 million-six month
average balance on securities for the six month period ended June 30, 1998.

                                       7
<PAGE>

Deposits decreased to $137.9 million at June 30, 1999 from $140.4 million at
December 31, 1998, a decrease of 1.8%. The decrease in deposits was principally
due to depositors withdrawing funds from accounts to purchase First Community
Financial Corporation common stock issued in the initial public offering.

Borrowed funds, collateralized through an agreement with the Federal Home Loan
Bank ("FHLB"), remained unchanged at $5 million at June 30, 1999. The FHLB
borrowings float with one-month LIBOR index and mature annually at September 30.
The borrowings are matched with a Collateralized Mortgage Obligation (CMO) in a
structured, leveraged, match funded arbitrage. The CMO floats at 95 basis points
over the one-month LIBOR index. The CMO collateralizes the FHLB borrowings.

Asset Quality

First Community's non-performing assets (loans 90 days or more delinquent and
fore- closed real estate and repossessed assets) were $1.3 million, or 0.67% of
total assets, at June 30, 1999, compared to $248 thousand, or 0.14% of total
assets, at December 31, 1998. Loans charged-off against the allowance for loan
losses for the six-month period ended June 30, 1999 totaled $15 thousand or .01%
of average loans outstanding.

Management performs a four-step procedure in determining the appropriate level
for the allowance for loan losses. First, at the end of each quarter, loan
department personnel perform a review of the bank's loan portfolio. Individual
loans are assigned an internal classification designation of unclassified,
substandard, doubtful, or loss based on historical performance and specific
circumstances known to the bank regarding the financial situation of the
customer. Next, impaired loans are identified and a determination is made as to
the necessity of creating a specific allowance. Any impairment allowance is
based on the expected cash flows and the collateral available. There were two
materially impaired loans totaling $884 thousand at June 30,1999. A specific
impairment allowance was established in the amount of $281 thousand. Next, the
substandard and doubtful classifications are analyzed and a risk percentage is
determined considering each type of loan and the severity of any probable loss.
All loans categorized as "loss" are fully reserved. The final procedure is to
assign risk percentages to unclassified loans based on historical and industry
information regarding probable, yet unidentifiable, losses inherent in the
portfolio. Industry factors are adjusted to reflect individual bank
circumstances. Since First Community is entering new lines of business with
little past experience to draw on in the areas of commercial, construction and
consumer lending, an entry period of higher than industry norm loss is reflected
in the risk percentages assigned these loan categories.

In the opinion of management, the general allowance for loan losses of $1.2
million and the specific reserve of $281 thousand at June 30, 1999 were adequate
to cover probable losses.

Results of Operation for the three month period ended June 30,1999 compared to
June 30, 1998

Net income is influenced significantly by the performance of net interest
income. Net interest income is the difference between interest income (derived
from revenues generated from loans, investments and other earning-assets), and
interest expense (consisting principally of interest paid on deposits and
borrowings). Operations may be materially affected by national and international
economic conditions, monetary and fiscal policies of the Federal government, and
policies of regulatory authorities.

NET INCOME

A net loss of $713 thousand was recorded for the three month period ended June
30, 1999, compared to net income of $251 thousand for the three month period
ended June 30,1998. The net loss was primarily due to a non-recurring $1.5
million contribution to the Community Savings Charitable Foundation. The
contribution was stipulated in the Company's mutual to stock conversion plan.
The initial public offering was successfully completed June 21, 1999. Recurring
earnings for the three months ended June 30, 1999 were $277 thousand compared to
$252 thousand for the prior year period. Recurring earnings represent earnings
computed without including the effect of the $1.5 million non-recurring
contribution.

INTEREST INCOME

Interest income increased 1.5% for the three months ended June 30, 1999 compared
to the three months ended June 30, 1998. The increase in interest income can be
principally attributed to the 25.7% increase in interest on securities resulting
from the investing of proceeds received during the initial public offering
process.

INTEREST EXPENSE

Interest expense decreased 9.2% for the three months ended June 30, 1999
compared to the three months ended June 30,1998. The decrease in interest
expense was a result of 8.5% decrease in interest expense on deposits reflecting
management's efforts to refine deposit-pricing schemes. The 23.1% decrease in
interest expense on FHLB borrowing reflects a 12.3% balance decrease in
outstanding borrowings from $5.7 million at June 30,1998 to $5 million at June
30,1999 and a moderately lower interest rate environment.

                                       9
<PAGE>

NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income before the provision for loan losses, for the three-month
period ended June 30, 1999, increased 14.4% or $207 thousand compared to the
three-month period ended June 30,1998. The primary ingredient affecting the
positive growth in net interest income was the increase in Federal Home Loan
Bank overnight deposits interest income and securities interest income caused by
increased balances available for investment from the influx of proceeds received
during the Company's initial public offering process.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

A provision of $90 thousand was added to the allowance for loan losses,
increasing the period end balance to $1.5 million or 1.10% of outstanding loans.
A provision of $100 thousand was added to the allowance for loan losses for the
period ending June 30, 1998. The increase to the allowance reflects the
significant change in the loan portfolio composition.

NON-INTEREST INCOME

Non-interest income increased $71 thousand or 60.1% to $190 thousand for the
three-month period ended June 30, 1999 compared to the three-month period ended
June 30,1998. Although management is encouraged by the increase in non-interest
income, continued emphasis will be placed on improving non-interest income
revenue. A wholly owned subsidiary of the Community Savings, Community Financial
Services, Inc., a retail securities broker and financial advisor, was formed in
December 1997, for the sole purpose of enhancing non-interest income. This newly
formed subsidiary contributed $50 thousand or 26.3% of the current period non-
interest income.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSE

Non-interest expense increased 173.1% or $1.7 million for the three months ended
June 30, 1999 compared to the three-month period ended June 30,1998.The increase
in non-interest expense is due primarily to a $1.5 million non-recurring
contribution to the Community Savings Charitable Foundation. Fifty-one thousand
dollars or 53% of the increase in equipment and occupancy expense was incurred
related to upgrading in-house computer equipment for preventative measures
related to Y2K. Compensation has increased $62 thousand or 10.1% due to
attracting and retaining commercial bank personnel needed to implement the
company's long-term objectives.

INCOME TAXES

The income tax benefit for the three month period ended June 30,1999 was $253
thousand compared to a provision of $211 thousand for the three months ended
June 30, 1998, a decrease of $464 thousand from the prior year. The decline in
the tax provision was a result of deferred taxes associated with the $1.5
million contribution to the Community Savings Charitable Foundation.

Results of Operation for the six month period ended June 30,1999 compared to
June 30, 1998

NET INCOME

Because of the $1.5 million non-recurring contribution to Community Savings
Charitable Foundation, a net loss of $379 thousand was recorded for the six
month period ended June 30, 1999 compared to net income of $602 thousand for the
six month period June 30, 1998. Recurring earnings for the six months ended June
30, 1999 were $611 thousand compared to $602 thousand for the six month period
ended June 30, 1998.

INTEREST INCOME

Interest income increased $82 thousand or 1.3% for the six months ended June 30,
1999 to $6.3 million at June 30, 1999 compared to $6.2 million at June 30, 1998.
The increase in interest income can be principally attributed to a 2.8% increase
in interest and fees on loans. Interest income on securities decreased 6% or $67
thousand, as the six-month average balance on securities decreased 10.9 % for
the period ended June 30, 1999 to $31.1 million compared to the $34.9 million-
six month average balance on securities for the six month period ended June 30,
1998.

INTEREST EXPENSE

Interest expense decreased 8.1% for the six months ended June 30, 1999 compared
to the six months ended June 30,1998. The decrease in interest expense was a
result of 7.2% decrease in interest expense on deposits reflecting management's
efforts to refine deposit-pricing schemes. The 24.5% decrease in interest
expense on FHLB borrowing reflects a 12.3% balance decrease in outstanding
borrowings from $5.7 million at June 30,1998 to $5 million at June 30,1999.

NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income before the provision for loan losses, for the six-month
period ended June 30, 1999, increased 13.1% or $363 thousand compared to the
six-month period ended June 30,1998. The primary ingredients affecting the
positive growth in net interest income was due to the increase in interest and
fees on loans and the decrease in interest expense on deposits and FHLB
borrowings.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

A provision of $180 thousand was added to the allowance for loan losses,
increasing the period end balance to $1.5 million or 1.10% of outstanding loans.
A provision of $200 thousand was added to the allowance for loan losses for the
period ending June 30, 1998. The increase to the allowance reflects the
significant change in the loan portfolio composition.

NON-INTEREST INCOME

Non-interest income increased $210 thousand or 88.6% to $448 thousand for the
six-month period ended June 30, 1999 compared to the six-month period ended June
30,1998. Although management is encouraged by the increase in non-interest
income, continued emphasis will be placed on improving non-interest income
revenue. A wholly owned subsidiary of the Community Savings, Community Financial
Services, Inc., a retail securities broker and financial advisor, was formed in
December 1997, for the sole purpose of enhancing non-interest income. This newly
formed subsidiary contributed $81 thousand or 18.1% of the current period non-
interest income.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSE

Non-interest expense increased 116.7% or $2.1 million for the six months ended
June 30, 1999 compared to the six-month period ended June 30,1998. The increase
in non-interest expense is due primarily to a $1.5 million non-recurring
contribution to the Community Savings Charitable Foundation. One hundred
thousand dollars or 52% of the increase in equipment and occupancy expense was
incurred related to upgrading in-house computer equipment for preventative
measures related to Y2K. Compensation has increased $312 thousand or 28.4% due
to hiring, retaining and attracting commercial bank personnel needed to
implement the company's long-term objectives.

                                      12
<PAGE>

INCOME TAXES

The income tax benefit for the six-month period ended June 30,1999 was $144
thousand compared to a provision of $397 thousand for the six months ended June
30, 1998, a decrease of $542 thousand from the prior year. The decline in the
tax provision is a result of deferred taxes associated with the $1.5 million
contribution to the Community Savings Charitable Foundation.

LIQUIDITY

The Company's policy is to provide adequate liquidity to meet continuing loan
demand and withdrawal requirements while paying normal operating expenses and
satisfying regulatory liquidity guidelines. Maturing securities, principal
repayments of loans and securities, deposits, income from operations and
borrowings are the main sources of liquidity. Short-term investments (overnight
investments with the Federal Home Loan Bank and Federal Funds Sold) and short-
term borrowings (Federal Home Loan Bank advances, Repurchase Agreements and
Federal Funds Purchased) are the primary cash management liquidity tools. The
investment portfolio provides secondary liquidity.

At June 30, 1999, the estimated market value of liquid assets (cash, cash
equivalents, and marketable securities) was approximately $50.2 million,
representing 35.1% of deposits and borrowed funds. As Community Savings
continues to grow its loan portfolio liquidity will continue to be leveraged.

The primary uses of liquidity are to fund loans, provide for deposit
fluctuations and invest in other non-loan earning assets when excess liquidity
is available. At June 30, 1999, outstanding off-balance sheet commitments to
extend credit in the form of loan origination's totaled $14.7 million. Available
lines of credit totaled $6 million. Management considers current liquidity
levels adequate to meet the Company's cash flow requirements.

CAPITAL

Shareholder's equity at June 30, 1999 was $47.4 million, an increase of $24.3
million or 104.9% from $23.1 million at December 31, 1998 and an increase of $24
million or 102.9% from $23.4 million one year earlier. The increase is due to
the Company's initial public offering issuance of 1,880,798 shares of no par
common stock that was completed June 21, 1999. Included in shareholder's equity
at June 30, 1999 was $447 thousand, net of tax, of accumulated other
comprehensive loss related to unrealized losses on securities available for sale
compared to $19 thousand of accumulated other comprehensive income related to
unrealized gains one year earlier. Also included in shareholder's equity at June
30, 1999 was $2.3 million of unearned common stock for the Employee Stock
Ownership Plan, representing 150,217 shares.

                                      13

FDIC regulations require banks to maintain certain capital adequacy ratios,
leverage ratios and risk-based capital ratios. Banks supervised by the FDIC must
maintain a minimum leverage ratio of core (Tier I) capital to average adjusted
assets ranging from 3% to 5%. At June 30, 1999, Community Savings' ratio of Tier
I capital to average assets was 17.5%. The FDIC's risk-based capital guidelines
require banks to maintain risk-based capital to risk-weighted assets of at least
8%. Risk-based capital for Community Savings is defined as Tier I capital and
the reserve for loan losses. At June 30, 1999, Community Savings had a ratio of
qualifying total capital to risk-weighted assets of 43.64%.

First Community is also subject to capital adequacy guidelines of the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve (the "Federal Reserve Board"). Capital
requirements of the Federal Reserve Board are similar to those of the FDIC.

First Community significantly exceeds regulatory capital requirements.
Management anticipates that the Company will continue to exceed capital adequacy
requirements without altering current operations or strategies.

Year 2000

Y2K has become a worldwide concern. The underlying cause of this problem rests
with antiquated computer programs identifying dates of calendar years with two
digits rather than four digits. Most old computer programs with date-sensitive
software may recognize the year 2000 as "00" and misinterpret the year as 1900.
This date misinterpretation could result in system failures or miscalculations
causing disruptions of operations, including temporary interruption of
utilities, telephone lines, inability to process transactions, generate
statements, or engage in normal business activities.

First Community retains the services of a third party data processing service
center to processes loan, deposit, general ledger, retail platform systems and
compliance data for the Bank. The Company in conjunction with its data
processing service center, conducted a Y2K test during October 1998 along with
eleven of the service center's other clients. Fifteen errors were detected
during the test. Fourteen of the errors were cosmetic, having to do with the
appearance of the year rather than then a true data error. The fourteen cosmetic
errors were corrected during the test period. The one actual Y2K error that was
reported, a General Ledger closeout of 1999 occurring in January 2000, was
repaired and successfully re-tested during a November 1998 test.

First Community has replaced nearly all-existing software and 100% of all
hardware with year 2000 certified compliant systems. Several of the Bank's
telecommunications systems have been replaced with year 2000 compliant systems.
All mission critical functions have been tested. Operating plans are being
developed which would be implemented in the event power failures or failures in
communications equipment prevent use of computer systems serving Community
Savings or otherwise impair Community Savings operations. Management is in the
process of identifying customers

                                      14
<PAGE>

who pose Y2K risks to the institution, and is developing the necessary
capabilities to adequately respond to the risks identified.

The cost to bring all systems up to Y2K specifications are expected to total
$550,000 of which amount approximately $428,000 has been incurred. There can be
no guarantee that the systems of other companies on which First Community relies
will be converted in a timely manner, or that First Community's actions will
effectively deal with all potential Year 2000 problems. Any such failures in
addressing potential Year 2000 problems could have a materially adverse effect
on the bank and on First Community.

Recent Events

On July 15, 1999 Community Savings Bank, a wholly-owned subsidiary of First
Community Financial Corporation, increased an existing securities leveraged
arbitrage position by $25 million. The Bank purchased $25 million of US Agency
Collateralized Mortgaged Obligations that re-price monthly at 75 basis points
over LIBOR. The purchased securities were funded by borrowings from the Federal
Home Loan Bank of Atlanta, GA that re-price monthly at LIBOR. The arbitrage
should realize $124 thousand net income, after tax, per annum.
