Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements
------------------------------------------

Note 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The  accompanying  unaudited  condensed  financial  statements  were prepared in
accordance with accounting  principles  generally  accepted in the United States
for interim financial  information and instructions for the Form 10-QSB and Item
310(b) of Regulation S-B.  Accordingly,  these  statements do not include all of
the  information  and  footnotes  required by  accounting  principles  generally
accepted  in the United  States.  However,  in the  opinion of  management,  all
adjustments  necessary  for a fair  presentation  have  been  included  and such
adjustments were of a normal recurring nature.

Operating  results for the  nine-month  period ended  September 30, 2000 are not
necessarily  indicative  of the results  that may be expected for the year ended
December 31, 2000 or any other period.

Note 2 - MUTUAL TO STOCK CONVERSION

On July 8,  1999,  the  Bank  completed  its  mutual  to stock  conversion  (the
"Conversion").  In connection with the  Conversion,  Steelton  Bancorp,  Inc., a
Pennsylvania chartered corporation, sold 385,000 shares of its common stock in a
subscription   offering  at  $10.00  per  share.   Upon   completion   of  these
transactions,  the Bank became the wholly owned subsidiary of Steelton  Bancorp,
Inc.  and changed its name from  Mechanics  Savings and Loan,  FSA to  Mechanics
Savings Bank.

The common stock of the Company began trading on the  Electronic  Bulletin Board
under the symbol "SELO" on July 9, 1999.

Note 3 - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In the third quarter of 2000,  the Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board(FASB)
issued  Statement  140,  "Accounting  for  Transfers  of Financial  Assets",  an
amendment of FASB  Statement No. 125. This  statement is effective for transfers
of  financial  assets  occurring  after March 31, 2001,  applied  prospectively;
effective for disclosures about  securitizations  and for  reclassification  and
disclosure  about  collateral  in financial  statements  for fiscal years ending
after  December 15, 2000.  Adoption of this  statement is not expected to have a
material impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.


Note 4 - EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE

Basic net income per common  share for the three  months and nine  months  ended
September 30, 2000 is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted  average
number of
shares of common stock outstanding for the period.  Diluted net income per share
is calculated by adjusting the number of shares of common stock  outstanding  to
include the effect of stock options, if dilutive,  generally, using the treasury
stock method.

Basic net income per common share for the three and nine months ended  September
30, 1999 was  calculated  by dividing net income for the period from the date of
conversion  to  September  30, 1999 of $62,386 by the  weighted  average  common
shares  outstanding  for that same period of  354,200.  The company did not have
potentially dilutive securities in the period ended September 30, 1999.

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

Forward-Looking Statements
--------------------------

The  Company  may  from  time  to time  make  written  or  oral  forward-looking
statements,  including  statements  contained in the Company's  filings with the
Securities  and  Exchange  Commission  (the  "Commission")  and its  reports  to
stockholders.  Statements  made in such documents,  other than those  concerning
historical  information,  should be  considered  forward-looking  and subject to
various risks and uncertainties.  Such forward-looking statements are made based
upon  management's  beliefs  as well as  assumptions  made by,  and  information
currently  available to, management  pursuant to "safe harbor" provisions of the
Private  Securities  Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The Company's actual results
may differ materially from the results anticipated in forward-looking statements
due  to a  variety  of  factors,  including  governmental  monetary  and  fiscal
policies,  deposit  levels,  loan demand,  loan  collateral  values,  securities
portfolio values, and interest rate risk management;  the effects of competition
in the banking  business  from other savings and loan  associations,  commercial
banks,  mortgage  banking  firms,  consumer  finance  companies,  credit unions,
securities brokerage firms,  insurance companies,  money market mutual funds and
other  financial  institutions  operating  in  the  Company's  market  area  and
elsewhere,  including  institutions  operating through the Internet;  changes in
governmental regulations relating to the banking industry, including regulations
relating to branching and  acquisitions;  failure of assumptions  underlying the
establishment  of  reserves  for  losses,  including  the  value  of  collateral
underlying  delinquent loans, and other factors.  The Company cautions that such
factors  are not  exclusive.  The  Company  does not  undertake  to  update  any
forward-looking  statements  that may be made from time to time by, or on behalf
of, the Company.

Comparison of Financial Condition at September 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Total assets  increased  $6.7 million or 12% to $60.6  million at September  30,
2000  compared to December 31,  1999.  Growth of $7.6 million or 24% occurred in
loans due to strong  originations  in the first half of the year.  Other  assets
increased by $1.0 million

                                       9
<PAGE>

primarily  due to the  purchase  of  bank-owned  life  insurance  in the  second
quarter.  Both loan growth and the purchase of life  insurance  contributed to a
decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $2.0 million.

Liabilities in total increased by $6.9 million or 15%, between December 31, 1999
and September 30, 2000.  The increase was  attributable  to additional  advances
from the Federal  Home Loan Bank (the "FHLB") and a $1 million or 3% increase in
deposits.  Stockholders'  equity  decreased  by 3%, or  $201,000  as the cost to
purchase  stock for treasury and the  restricted  stock plan exceeded net income
for the nine month period.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

Sources of liquidity  include funds derived through  earnings,  customer deposit
balances, loan repayments, maturities or sales of investment securities and FHLB
borrowings.

Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS") capital regulations  applicable to the Bank
require  savings  institutions  to meet three  capital  standards:  (1) tangible
capital  equal to 1.5% of total  adjusted  assets,  (2) a leverage  ratio  (core
capital)  equal to at least 4% of total  adjusted  assets,  and (3) a risk-based
capital  requirement equal to 8.0% of total  risk-weighted  assets. In addition,
the OTS prompt corrective action regulation  provides that a savings institution
that  has a  leverage  capital  ratio  of less  than 4%  will  be  deemed  to be
"undercapitalized"  and may be subject to certain restrictions.  The Bank was in
compliance with these  requirements  at September 30, 2000, with tangible,  core
and risk based capital ratios of 9.43%, 9.43% and 19.42%, respectively.

Comparison  of Operating  Results for Three Months Ended  September 30, 2000 and
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1999
----

Net income for the third quarter of 2000  declined 19% to $51,000,  from $62,000
for the same  quarter in 1999.  Growth in net  interest  income and  noninterest
income was offset by increased  levels of noninterest  expense and the provision
for loan losses.

Net interest income increased  $43,000 or 12.5% as a result of a $266,000 or 32%
increase in  interest  income  offset by  $223,000  or 46%  increase in interest
expense.  The increase in interest income was  attributable to a 21% increase in
interest  earning assets which occurred from September 30, 1999 to September 30,
2000.  Similarly,  deposits and other interest bearing liabilities increased 25%
during the same time  frame.  This  increase in  interest  bearing  liabilities,
coupled with higher interest rates,  contributed to the 46% increase in interest
expense.

The  provision  for loan  losses was $3,000  for the third  quarter of 2000.  No
expense was  recorded for the same quarter in 1999.  The  increased  expense was
responsive to loan growth and the risk inherent in the loan portfolio.  Refer to
the loan quality section for additional information.

Noninterest  income  increased  $2,000 or 3% when comparing the third quarter of
2000 to the same  quarter of 1999 as a decline in fees and  service  charges was
offset by increased  other income.  The decline in fees and service  charges was
attributable  to lower  loan  closing  charges  as the Bank cut back in  lending
during the third quarter of 2000. The increase in other income related primarily
to the bank-owned life insurance purchased in the second quarter of 2000.

Noninterest  expenses  increased  $62,000  or 19% in the third  quarter  of 2000
compared with the same quarter in 1999. The majority of the increase occurred in
salaries and benefits due to the adoption of an ESOP,  restricted  stock awards,
increased health  insurance,  merit increases and a 7% increase in the number of
full-time  equivalent  employees  from September 30, 1999 to September 30, 2000.
Additionally,  advertising  expense and "other"  showed marked  increases due to
expanded promotions,  legal,  printing and audit costs.  Furniture and equipment
expense declined as 1999 included costs associated with Year 2000 readiness.

Income tax expense  declined in the third  quarter of 2000 when  compared to the
same period in 1999 as a result of a lower  level of income  before  taxes.  Tax
expense recorded during this

                                       10
<PAGE>

period of 2000 resulted in an effective  tax rate of 29.2%  compared to 31.5% in
1999. The slight  reduction is attributable to non-taxed  income from bank-owned
life insurance.

Comparison  of Operating  Results for Nine Months Ended  September  30, 2000 and
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1999
----

Net income year to date in 2000 reached  $205,000 and reflected 60%  improvement
over 1999. Growth in net interest income and noninterest  sources of revenue was
offset by increases in noninterest expense.

Net interest income  increased  $237,000 or 25% as a result of a $754,000 or 32%
increase in  interest  income  offset by a $517,000 or 37%  increase in interest
expense.  The  increase in  interest  income was  attributable  to both loan and
investment  growth.  Similarly,  interest  expense  was  impacted  by  growth in
deposits and FHLB  borrowings as well as higher  interest  rates.  The Company's
funding costs were impacted by the  increasing  interest rate  environment  to a
greater extent than its earning asset yields as most of the loan portfolio is at
fixed interest rates.

The  provision  for loan  losses was $4,000 year to date in 2000  compared  with
$2,000 in 1999.  The  increased  expense  was in response to loan growth and the
risk  inherent  in the loan  portfolio.  Refer to the loan  quality  section for
additional information.

Noninterest income increased $28,000 or 17% year to date in 2000 compared to the
same period in 1999. A decline in loan closing  charges coupled with an increase
in service  charges on deposits  resulted  in a stable  level of fee and service
charge income.  Other income  increased  $29,000 due to increased cash surrender
value of bank-owned  life insurance  purchased in the second quarter of 2000 and
due to expanded rental of Company owned premises.

Noninterest  expenses  increased  $162,000 or 18% year to date in 2000  compared
with 1999. The majority of the increase occurred in salaries and benefits due to
increased staffing, merit increases,  increased health insurance costs, issuance
of restricted stock awards and ESOP expense.  Additionally,  advertising expense
and "other" showed marked increases due to expanded promotions,  legal, printing
and audit costs. Furniture and equipment expense declined as 1999 included costs
associated with year 2000 readiness.

Income tax expense  increased  in 2000 due to a higher  level of pre-tax  income
year to date.  Tax expense  recorded  during this period of 2000  resulted in an
effective tax rate of 29.0% compared to 32.3% in 1999.  The slight  reduction is
attributable to non-taxed income from bank-owned life insurance.

Loan Quality
------------

The  Company's  allowance  for  loan  losses  was  $151,000  or  .38%  of  loans
outstanding at September 30,2000, compared with $168,000 or .52% at December 31,
1999.  The following  table  provides a comparison of risk elements at September
30, 2000 to the balances at the end of 1999.

                                        September 30,   December 31,
                                            2000            1999
                                        -------------   ------------

Nonaccrual loans                            $389            $527
Loans 90 days or more past due                 4               -
                                            ----            ----
Total risk elements                         $393            $527
  Ratio to period end loans                  .99%           1.64%
                                            ----            ----

An allowance for loan losses is  maintained  through a provision for loan losses
based on management's periodic evaluation of the general level of loan
delinquency, the level of risk by type of loan, and general economic conditions.
This evaluation is inherently subjective. In management's opinion, the allowance
for loan losses at September 30, 2000 is adequate to absorb  potential losses in
the current portfolio.
