           CUSIP No.  743266 10 8                 Page 4 of 7 Pages
                                                  


          been granted options  to purchase an aggregate  of 117,500 shares
          of Common  Stock  pursuant to  the  Issuer's Key  Employee  Stock
          Compensation Program which may be exercised within 60 days of the
          date  hereof  and which  are  deemed  to be  outstanding  for the
          purpose of  computing the  percentage of  shares of  Common Stock
          owned  by the  Reporting  Person.   As of  the  date hereof,  the
          Reporting Person also holds options to purchase 27,500  shares of
          Common Stock which vest  and become exercisable after 60  days of
          the date hereof (options to purchase 1,250 shares vest and become
          exercisable  monthly) and warrants  to purchase 12,500  shares of
          Common Stock which become  exercisable after 60 days of  the date
          hereof.


          Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction
          -------------------------------


                    The Reporting Person  is presently the Chairman  of the
          Board, President and Chief Executive Officer  of the Issuer.  The
          Reporting  Person intends  to  continue  to  participate  in  the
          management and  operations of the  Issuer.  The  Reporting Person
          believes  that  the shares  of  Common  Stock are  an  attractive
          investment  and  purchased   the  shares  of  Common   Stock  for
          investment purposes  and not for  the purpose of  influencing the
          management  of the Issuer  or exercising control.   The Reporting
          Person does not intend to obtain control of the Issuer.

                    The Reporting Person has been informed that in order to
          acquire  10%  or more  of  the  Issuer's shares  of  Common Stock
          certain  governmental approvals may  be required.   The Reporting
          Person does not currently  intend to acquire or offer  to acquire
          10% or  more of the Issuer's  shares of Common Stock  which would
          require   him  to  apply  for  such   approvals.    However,  any
          determination  to purchase additional shares of Common Stock will
          depend upon  a number  of factors,  including market prices,  the
          Issuer's prospects  and alternative investments.   Similarly, the
          Reporting Person may determine  to sell all or  a portion of  his
          shares of Common Stock at any time.

                    The  Reporting  Person  currently   has  no  plans   or
          proposals (excluding action which may be  taken or proposed to be
          taken by the  Board of Directors of which the Reporting Person is
          a member, including the currently proposed merger of the Issuer's
          subsidiary,  Progress  Federal  Savings  Bank,  with  Roxborough-
          Manayunk Federal Savings  Bank in connection with  the conversion
          of FJF Financial, M.H.C. from the mutual form) which relate to or
          would result in (a)  the acquisition by any person  of additional
          securities of the Issuer or the  disposition of securities of the
          Issuer; (b)  an extraordinary  corporate transaction,  such as  a
          merger, reorganization  or liquidation,  involving the  Issuer or
          any  of its  subsidiaries; (c) a  sale or transfer  of a material
          amount of assets of  the Issuer or any  of its subsidiaries;  (d)
          any change in the present Board of Directors or management of the
          issuer, including any plans or proposals  to change the number or
          term of directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the Board;

          (e) any material change in the present capitalization or dividend
          policy  of  the Issuer;  (f)  any  other material  change  in the
          Issuer's  business or  corporate structure;  (g)  changes in  the
          Issuer's charter, bylaws or instruments  corresponding thereto or
          other actions which may impede the  acquisition of control of the
          Issuer by any person;  (h) causing a  class of securities of  the
          Issuer to be delisted  from a national securities exchange  or to
          cease to be authorized to be  quoted in an inter-dealer quotation
          system of  a registered  national securities  association; (i)  a
          class of equity  securities of the  Issuer becoming eligible  for
          termination of registration  pursuant to Section 12(g)(4)  of the
          Securities Exchange Act  of 1934, as  amended; or (j) any  action
          similar to any of those enumerated above.



          Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer
          ---------------------------------------------


                    (a)  The  Reporting  Person  beneficially owns  172,655
          shares  of Common Stock  which represents approximately  5.08% of
          the outstanding  shares of  Common Stock.   At  the date  hereof,
          3,280,000  shares of Common Stock were outstanding, not including
          outstanding options to purchase shares of Common Stock.  

                    (b)  The   Reporting  Person   has   sole  voting   and
          dispositive  power with respect to 165,655 shares of Common Stock
          (which include  117,500  shares  of Common  Stock  which  may  be
          purchased upon  the exercise  of stock  options).   The Reporting
          Person  has shared voting  and dispositive power  with respect to
          7,000 shares of Common Stock held jointly by the Reporting Person
          with  or for  the  benefit of  the  Reporting Person's  immediate
          family.  

                    (c)  The number of shares  of Common Stock beneficially
          owned by the  Reporting Person include options to  purchase 2,500
          shares of  Common Stock  not presently  exercisable (options  for
          1,250 shares  become exercisable on  August 31, 1995  and options
          for 1,250 shares become exercisable on September  30, 1995; thus,
          such shares are deemed to be  beneficially owned by the Reporting
          Person as the  date hereof).   Other than  the purchase of  1,000
          shares of  Common Stock on July 5, 1995 as reported in Item 3 and
          the vesting of  options to purchase  Common Stock, the  Reporting
          Person  had  no  other transactions  in  the  Issuer's securities
          during the last 60 days. 

                    (d)  Not Applicable.

                    (e)  Not Applicable.

          with Respect to Securities of the Issuer

                    The Reporting  Person is not  a party to  any contract,
          arrangement, understanding  or relationship (legal  or otherwise)
          with  respect  to  any  securities  of  the  Issuer,  other  than
          agreements evidencing  outstanding stock options  and outstanding
          subordinated debt  and  warrants.   The Reporting  Person is  the
          Chairman of the Board  of Directors of the Issuer and  has in the
          past and intends  in the future to exercise his vote and to serve
          the Issuer as  a director in an  independent manner, and to  vote
          his shares of Common  Stock individually and not pursuant  to any
          understanding, arrangement or agreement with any other persons.
