1999.  The results for the three and nine month  periods ended June 30, 2000 are
not  necessarily  indicative  of the results that may be expected for the fiscal
year ending September 30, 2000 or any other future period.

(3) Earnings Per Share
    ------------------
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 Company.  The following  table sets forth the computation
of basic and diluted earnings per share (amounts in thousands,  except per share
data):

The  provision  for loan  losses  charged to expense is based upon past loan and
loss  experience  and an  evaluation  of  probable  losses in the  current  loan
portfolio,  including the  evaluation of impaired  loans under SFAS Nos. 114 and
118. A loan is considered to be impaired  when,  based upon current  information
and events,  it is probable  that the Bank will be unable to collect all amounts
due according to the contractual  terms of the loan. An insignificant  shortfall
in payments does not necessarily  result in a loan being identified as impaired.
For this purpose, delays less than 90 days are considered to be insignificant.

Impairment  losses are included in the provision for loan losses.  SFAS Nos. 114
and 118 do not apply to large groups of smaller balance,  homogeneous loans that
are collectively  evaluated for impairment,  except for those loans restructured
under a troubled debt restructuring. Loans collectively evaluated for impairment
include  consumer loans and residential  real estate loans, and are not included
in the following data.

At June 30, 2000,  the recorded  investment  in loans that are  considered to be
impaired under SFAS No. 114 was $104,000. Included in this amount is $104,000 of
impaired loans for which the related  allowance for loan losses is $10,000,  and
no impaired  loans that as a result of  write-downs do not have an allowance for
loan losses.  The average recorded  investment in impaired loans during the nine
months  ended June 30, 2000 was  $154,000.  For the nine  months  ended June 30,
2000,  the Company  recognized no interest  income on those impaired loans using
the cash basis of income recognition.

(7) Comprehensive Income
    --------------------
For the  three  and  nine  months  ended  June 30,  2000,  the  Company's  total
comprehensive income was $1.32 million and $2.286 million, respectively, and for
the three and nine months ended June 30, 1999 the Company's total  comprehensive
loss was ($1.788 million) and ($1.156 million), respectively.

(8) Subsequent Events
    -----------------
On  February  18,  2000,  the  Company  announced  the  signing of a  Definitive
Agreement and Plan of Merger whereby Fidelity Bancorp, Inc. will acquire all the
outstanding common stock of Pennwood Bancorp,  Inc.  ("Pennwood") for $13.10 per
share in cash or  approximately  $7.5  million.  Subsequently,  on May 9,  2000,
Fidelity Bank signed an agreement to sell the real property, furniture, fixtures
and equipment and to transfer the related  deposits of the two branch offices of
Pennwood  located in Kittanning,  Pennsylvania  to The Farmers  National Bank of
Kittanning  ("Farmers").  The  acquisition  of  Pennwood  and  the  sale  of the
Kittanning branches to Farmers were completed on July 14, 2000.

provisions regarding forward-looking  statements.  When used in this discussion,
the words  "believes,"  "anticipates,"  "contemplates,"  "expects,"  and similar
expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements
are subject to certain risks and uncertainties  which could cause actual results
to differ materially from those projected. Those risks and uncertainties include
changes in interest rates, risks associated with the effect of integrating newly
acquired  businesses,  the ability to control  costs and  expenses,  and general
economic  conditions.  Fidelity  Bancorp,  Inc.  (the  "Company")  undertakes no
obligation   to  publicly   release  the  results  of  any  revisions  to  those
forward-looking  statements which may be made to reflect events or circumstances
after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

June 30, 2000 from $482.5 million at September 30, 1999.  Significant changes in
individual  categories  were  increases in loans  receivable  of $33.4  million,
investment  securities  held-to-maturity  of  $6.3  million  and a  decrease  in
mortgage-backed securities available-for-sale of $8.8 million.

Total  liabilities  of the Company  increased by $34.6 million or 7.6% to $491.1
million at June 30, 2000 from $456.5 million at September 30, 1999. The increase
primarily  reflects a $23.2 million  increase in Federal Home Loan Bank advances
and a $6.5 million increase in savings and time deposits.

Stockholders' equity increased $1.2 million or 4.5% to $27.2 million at June 30,
2000,  compared to September 30, 1999.  This result  reflects net income for the
nine-month period ended June 30, 2000 of $3.056 million, stock options exercised
of $127,000 and stock issued  under the Dividend  Reinvestment  Plan of $60,000.
Offsetting these increases were common stock cash dividends paid of $572,000, an
increase in  accumulated  other  comprehensive  loss,  net of tax, on securities
available-for-sale  of $770,000,  and the purchase of treasury stock at cost for
$727,000.

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

Net Income
----------

Net income for the three  months  ended June 30, 2000 was  $978,000  compared to
$882,000  for the same  period in 1999,  an  increase  of $96,000 or 10.9%.  The
increase  reflects  an  increase in net  interest  income of $46,000 or 1.5%,  a
decrease in the  provision  for loan losses of $35,000 or 22.6%,  an increase in
other  income of  $64,000 or 17.2%,  and a decrease  in  operating  expenses  of
$12,000 or .6%.  Partially  offsetting  these  factors  was an  increase  in the
provision for income taxes of $61,000 or 18.3%.

Net income for the nine months ended June 30, 2000 was $3.1 million  compared to
$2.4 million for the same period in 1999, an increase of $688,000 or 29.0%.  The
increase  reflects an increase in net interest income of $743,000 or 8.6% and an
increase  in other  income of  $237,000  or 21.3%.  Partially  offsetting  these
factors was an increase in operating  expenses of $10,000 or .2% and an increase
in the provision for income taxes of $282,000 or 30.6%.

Interest Rate Spread
--------------------

The Company's  interest rate spread, the difference between yields calculated on
a  tax-equivalent  basis  on  interest-earning  assets  and the  cost of  funds,
decreased  to 2.57% in the three  months  ended June 30,  2000 from 2.75% in the
same period in 1999. The following  table shows the average yields earned on the
Bank's   interest-earning   assets   and   the   average   rates   paid  on  its
interest-bearing  liabilities for the periods indicated,  the resulting interest
rate spreads, and the net yields on interest-earning assets.

The Company's tax-equivalent interest rate spread decreased to 2.69% in the nine
months  ended June 30,  2000 from 2.70% in the same period in fiscal  1999.  The
following  table shows the average yields earned on the Bank's  interest-earning
assets and the average rates paid on its  interest-bearing  liabilities  for the
periods indicated,  the resulting  interest rate spreads,  and the net yields on
interest-earning assets.

Interest Income
---------------

Interest on loans  increased $1.1 million or 21.9% to $5.9 million for the three
months  ended June 30, 2000,  compared to the same period in 1999.  The increase
reflects an  increase  in the average  loan  balance  outstanding  during  2000,
partially  offset  by a  decrease  in the yield  earned  on the loan  portfolio.
Interest on loans  increased  $3.0 million or 21.0% to $17.1 for the nine months
ended June 30, 2000, compared to the same period in fiscal 1999. The increase is
attributable to an increase in the average loan balance  outstanding  during the
2000 period,  partially offset by a decrease in the yield earned on these assets
in the fiscal 2000 period as  compared  to the same period in fiscal  1999.  The
increase in the average balance of the loan portfolio in the fiscal 2000 periods
reflects  management's  continued  strategy of emphasizing and increasing loans.
The lower yield earned on the  portfolio  reflects the lower long term  interest
rate  environment  that existed for much of fiscal 1999, as new loans originated
were at lower  rates and more  existing  borrowers  refinanced  into  lower rate
loans.  While  interest  rates  have risen in fiscal  2000,  the effect of loans
originated at these higher rates has not been significant as yet.


                                      -12-

<PAGE>



Interest  on  mortgage-backed  securities  decreased  $212,000  or 12.3% to $1.5
million and $478,000 or 9.4% to $4.6 million for the three and nine months ended
June 30,  2000,  respectively,  as  compared  to the same  periods in 1999.  The
decrease for both the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2000, reflects
a decrease in the average  balance of  mortgage-backed  securities  owned in the
fiscal 2000 periods, partially offset by an increase in the average yield earned
on the portfolio.

Interest on  interest-earning  deposits with other  institutions  and investment
securities increased $354,000 or 28.2% to $1.6 million and $1.1 million or 30.5%
to $4.5 million for the three and nine month  periods  ended June 30,  2000,  as
compared to the same period in 1999.  The  increase  for both the three and nine
month  periods  ended June 30,  2000,  reflects  both an increase in the average
balance  in the  portfolio  and  an  increase  in  the  yield  earned  on  these
investments.

Interest Expense
----------------

Interest on savings and time deposits increased $141,000 or 5.6% to $2.7 million
and  decreased  $120,000  or 1.5% to $7.9  million  for the three and nine month
periods  ended June 30, 2000,  respectively,  as compared to the same periods in
fiscal 1999.  The increase for the three month period in fiscal 2000 as compared
to fiscal 1999 reflects an increase in the average balance of savings  deposits,
as well as an increase in the average  cost of  deposits.  The  decrease for the
nine month period in fiscal 2000  reflects a decrease in the average cost of the
deposits,  partially  offset by an increase  in the  average  balance of savings
deposits in the fiscal 2000 period.

Interest on borrowed  funds  increased $1.0 million or 50.6% to $3.1 million and
$2.9 million or 55.2% to $8.3 million for the three and nine month periods ended
June 30, 2000, respectively, as compared to the same periods in fiscal 1999. The
increases  for both periods in fiscal 2000 as compared to fiscal 1999 reflect an
increase in the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") advances and reverse  repurchase
agreements outstanding during the fiscal 2000 periods, as well as an increase in
the cost of those  borrowings.  The Bank  continues  to rely on these  wholesale
funding sources in fiscal 2000 as an additional way to fund growth.

Net Interest Income Before Provision for Loan Losses
----------------------------------------------------

The Company's net interest  income  before  provision for loan losses  increased
$46,000 or 1.6% to $3.1  million,  and  $743,000 or 8.6% to $9.4 million for the
three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2000,  respectively,  as compared to
the same  periods in fiscal  1999.  The  increase  for both periods is primarily
attributable to an increase in net interest-earning  assets, partially offset by
a decreased interest rate spread.

Provision for Loan Losses
-------------------------

The  provision  for loan losses  decreased  $35,000 or 22.6% to $120,000 for the
three month period ended June 30, 2000, as compared to the same period in fiscal
1999.  The provision was $360,000 for both the nine month periods ended June 30,
2000 and 1999. The provision for the periods reflects management's evaluation of
the loan portfolio,  current economic conditions, and other factors as described
below.  Based on this  evaluation,  the  allowance for loan losses has increased
from $2.3  million  at June 30,  1999 to $2.7  million  at June 30,  2000.  Loan
charge-offs,  net of recoveries,  were $180,000 and $295,000 for the nine months
ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

A monthly  review is conducted by management to determine that the allowance for
loan losses is appropriate to absorb  estimated loan losses.  In determining the
level of allowances for loan losses,  consideration is given to general economic
conditions,   the  diversification  of  the  loan  portfolio,   historical  loss
experience,  identified credit problems,  delinquency levels and the adequacy of
collateral.  Although  management  believes that the current  allowance for loan
losses is appropriate,  future  additions to the reserve may be necessary due to
changes in economic conditions. In addition,  various regulatory agencies review
the  adequacy  of the  allowance  for loan  losses as part of their  examination
process and may require additions to the allowance based on their judgment.

Other Income
------------

Total  non-interest or other income  increased  $64,000 or 17.2% to $436,000 and
$237,000  or 21.3% to $1.4  million for the three and nine month  periods  ended
June 30, 2000, respectively, as compared to the same periods in fiscal 1999. The
increases for both the three and nine month periods  primarily reflect increased
gains  on the  sale of  investment  and  mortgage-backed  securities,  increased
deposit  service  charges,  increased  automated  teller  machine fees, and fees
earned from a program,  introduced in July 1998, to sell non-insured  investment
products such as mutual funds and annuities to both Bank and non-bank customers.

Operating Expenses
------------------

Total  operating  expenses for the three and nine month  periods  ended June 30,
2000, remained relatively unchanged as compared to the same periods in 1999. Due
to the consummation of the merger of Pennwood,  operating  expenses may increase
in future periods.

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

Income  taxes  increased  $61,000 or 18.3% to $395,000  and $282,000 or 30.6% to
$1.2  million  for the  three  and nine  month  periods  ended  June  30,  2000,
respectively, compared to the same periods in fiscal 1999. The increase in taxes
for both the three and nine month  periods  ended June 30, 2000,  as compared to
the same  periods in the prior  year,  primarily  results  from an  increase  in
taxable income.

Capital Requirements
--------------------

The Federal Reserve Board measures capital  adequacy for bank holding  companies
on the  basis of a  risk-based  capital  framework  and a  leverage  ratio.  The
guidelines  include  the  concept of Tier 1 capital  and total  capital.  Tier 1
capital is essentially  common equity,  excluding net unrealized  gain (loss) on
securities  available-for-sale  and  goodwill,  plus certain  types of preferred
stock,  including  the  Preferred  Securities  issued by the Trust in 1997.  The
Preferred  Securities  may comprise up to 25% of the  Company's  Tier 1 capital.
Total  capital  includes  Tier 1 capital and other forms of capital  such as the
allowance for loan losses,  subject to limitations,  and subordinated  debt. The
guidelines  establish a minimum standard risk-based target ratio of 8%, of which
at least 4% must be in the form of Tier 1 capital. At June 30, 2000, the Company
had Tier 1 capital as a percentage of  risk-weighted  assets of 13.67% and total
risk-based capital as a percentage of risk-weighted assets of 14.54%.

In addition,  the Federal Reserve Board has established  minimum  leverage ratio
guidelines for bank holding companies.  These guidelines currently provide for a
minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital as a percentage  of total assets (the  "Leverage
Ratio") of 3% for bank holding companies that meet certain  criteria,  including
that they  maintain  the  highest  regulatory  rating.  All other  bank  holding
companies are required to maintain a Leverage Ratio of at least 4% or be subject
to prompt  corrective  action by the  Federal  Reserve.  At June 30,  2000,  the
Company had a Leverage Ratio of 8.34%.

The FDIC has issued regulations that require insured  institutions,  such as the
Bank, to maintain  minimum levels of capital.  In general,  current  regulations
require a leverage  ratio of Tier 1 capital to average  total assets of not less
than 3% for the most highly rated  institutions  and an  additional 1% to 2% for
all other  institutions.  At June 30, 2000,  the Bank  complied with the minimum
leverage  ratio  having  Tier 1 capital of 6.95% of  average  total  assets,  as
defined.

The Bank is also  required to maintain a ratio of  qualifying  total  capital to
risk-weighted assets and off-balance sheet items of a minimum of 8%. At June 30,
2000, the Bank's total capital to  risk-weighted  assets ratio  calculated under
the FDIC capital requirement was 12.44%.

Liquidity
---------

The Company's primary sources of funds have historically  consisted of deposits,
amortization and prepayments of outstanding  loans,  borrowings from the FHLB of
Pittsburgh and other sources,  including  sales of securities  and, to a limited
extent, loans. At June 30, 2000, the total of approved loan commitments amounted
to $3.7 million.  In addition,  the Company had $8.0 million of undisbursed loan
funds at that date. The amount of savings  certificates  which mature during the
next twelve months totals  approximately $80.6 million, a substantial portion of
which management believes, on the basis of prior experience,  will remain in the
Company.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

           There  have  been  no  material  changes  in  information   regarding
           quantitative and qualitative  disclosures  about market risk from the
           information presented as of September 30, 1999 (in the Company's Form
           10-K) to June 30, 2000.
