NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

(1)    Basis of Presentation

       In the opinion of  management,  the  financial  information  reflects all
       adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) necessary
       for a fair presentation of the financial  information as of September 30,
       1999 and  December  31,  1998 and for the  three  and nine  months  ended
       September  30,  1999  and  1998 in  conformity  with  generally  accepted
       accounting principles.  These interim financial statements should be read
       in conjunction  with Progress  Financial  Corporation's  (the  "Company")
       Annual  Report  on Form  10-K  for the  year  ended  December  31,  1998.
       Operating  results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1999
       are not  necessarily  indicative  of the results that may be expected for
       any other  interim  period or the entire year ending  December  31, 1999.
       Earnings per share have been adjusted to reflect all stock  dividends and
       prior period  amounts have been  reclassified  when  necessary to conform
       with current period classification.  The Company's principal subsidiaries
       are Progress Bank (the "Bank"),  Progress Realty Advisors, Inc., Progress
       Capital,  Inc., Procall  Teleservices,  Inc., Progress Development Corp.,
       Progress Capital Management,  Inc. and Progress Financial Resources, Inc.
       All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated.


(2)    New Developments

       On October 27, 1999,  the Company  announced the  authorization  of a new
       stock  repurchase  program.  The  Company  may  repurchase  up to 280,000
       shares, or five percent, of its outstanding common stock.

       On July 16, 1999, Ravisent Technologies,  Inc. ("RVST"), a corporation on
       which the Company  holds  warrants,  went  public at an initial  offering
       price of $12.00 per common share.  The warrants were obtained through the
       Company's   Specialized   Lending  Division  which  provides   customized
       financial  services to leading edge companies in technology,  health care
       and  insurance.  The Company  holds  warrants to purchase  50,000  common
       shares of RVST at $3.56 per share. The Company is prohibited from selling
       or  otherwise  disposing  of the  warrants or any shares of common  stock
       received from the exercise of such warrants for a period of 180 days from
       July 16,  1999.  On  November 9, 1999,  the  closing  price of a share of
       common stock of RVST was $19.625.

       On  August  4,  1999,   Internet   Capital  Group,   Inc.   ("ICGE"),   a
       business-to-business  e-commerce  company  on  which  the  Company  holds
       warrants,  went public at an initial  offering price of $12.00 per common
       share.  The Company  provided a line of credit and  received  warrants to
       purchase 12,750 shares of common stock of ICGE, with an exercise price of
       $10.00,  and an expiration of seven years from the date of issuance.  The
       Company  also owns 20,833  shares of common stock and warrants of ICGE to
       purchase  4,167  shares of common  stock at an  exercise  price of $12.00
       which it acquired  through an investment  in a  convertible  note of ICGE
       made by its venture capital  subsidiary.  The Company's amortized cost of
       this  investment  is  $250,000  with a carry value of $1.8  million.  The
       Company is prohibited from selling or otherwise disposing of the warrants
       or any shares of common stock received from the exercise of such warrants
       or  convertible  note for a period of 180 days from  August 4, 1999.  The
       trading  of  this  stock,  like  many   business-to-business   e-commerce
       companies,  is very volatile. On November 9, 1999, the closing price of a
       share of common stock of ICGE was $182.6875.

       On  August  9,  1999,  US  Interactive,   Inc.   ("USIT"),   an  internet
       professional  services  firm on which the Company  holds  warrants,  went
       public at an  initial  offering  price of $10.00 per  common  share.  The
       Company provided a line of credit and term loan and received  warrants to
       purchase 52,500 shares of common stock of USIT, with an exercise price of
       $3.50 and an  expiration  of ten  years  from the date of  issuance.  The
       Company is prohibited from selling or otherwise disposing of the warrants
       or any shares of common stock received from the exercise of such warrants
       for a period of 180 days from August 9, 1999.  The trading of USIT common
       stock,  like many internet  companies,  is very volatile.  On November 9,
       1999, the closing price of a share of USIT common stock was $32.6875.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations (unaudited)

The  following  discussion  and analysis of financial  condition  and results of
operations  should  be read  in  conjunction  with  the  Company's  Consolidated
Financial Statements and accompanying notes and with the Company's Annual Report
to  Stockholders  and Form 10-K for the year ended  December 31,  1998.  Certain
reclassifications  have been made to prior period data  throughout the following
discussion and analysis for comparability with 1999 data.

When used in filings by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission,
in the Company's  press releases or other public or shareholder  communications,

risks  and  uncertainties  including  changes  in  economic  conditions  in  the
Company's market area, changes in policies by regulatory agencies,  fluctuations
in interest rates, demand for loans in the Company's market area and competition
that could cause actual results to differ  materially from  historical  earnings
and those  presently  anticipated  or projected.  The Company  wishes to caution
readers not to place  undue  reliance  on any such  forward-looking  statements,
which speak only as of the date made.  The Company wishes to advise readers that
the factors listed above could affect the Company's  financial  performance  and
could cause the Company's actual results for future periods to differ materially
from any opinions or statements  expressed with respect to future periods in any
current statements.

                                     SUMMARY

The Company recorded net income of $2.3 million or diluted earnings per share of
$.39 for the three months ended September 30, 1999 compared to $1.3 million
or $.23, respectively,  for the three months ended September 30, 1998. Return on
average  shareholders'  equity was 20.73% and return on average assets was 1.31%
for the three  months  ended  September  30,  1999  compared to 12.70% and .88%,
respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 1998.

The Company recorded net income of $4.7 million or diluted earnings per share of
$.81 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 compared to net income of $3.5
million  or  diluted  earnings  per  share  of $.62 for the  nine  months  ended
September 30, 1998. Return on average shareholders' equity was 14.80% and return
on average assets was .94% for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 compared
to 13.51% and .86%, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 1998.

Net interest  income  increased to $6.8 million from $6.0  million,  and the net
interest margin increased to 4.24% from 4.16%,  comparing the three months ended
September  30, 1999 and 1998.  This  increase is primarily due to a $8.5 million
increase in the positive  variance between average  interest-earning  assets and
average interest-bearing liabilities.

Operating  results  for the  three  months  ended  September  30,  1999 and 1998
included $658,000 and $233,000, respectively, in the provision for possible loan
and lease  losses.  The increase in the  provision  for possible  loan and lease
losses was primarily  due to an increase in the loan and lease  portfolio and an
increase in non-performing  loans and leases.  Non-interest  income increased to
$7.1 million from $2.3  million for the three  months ended  September  30, 1999
compared to the same period in 1998.  This  increase  was due to client  warrant
income of $2.8 million,  primarily the result of the expiration of  restrictions
on the sale of warrants to acquire shares of common stock on VerticalNet,  Inc.,
a customer of the Company; and a $2.1 million increase in fee based income. Loss
on the sale of  securities  was $66,000  for the three  months  ended  September
30, 1999,  compared  to a gain of  $100,000  for the same  period  in 1998.
Non-interest  expense  increased  to $9.8  million  for the three  months  ended
September 30, 1999 in comparison  with $5.9 million for the same period in 1998.
This  increase  was  primarily  due to a $2.0  million  increase in salaries and
employee benefits relating to additional employees of the newly formed insurance
business,  Progress  Financial  Resources,  Inc.  ("PFR")  and the  staffing  of
Progress  Capital  Management,   Inc.  ("PCM")  to  pursue  our  Small  Business
Investment  Corporation  ("SBIC") license,  and other new positions  established
within the Company.  Other  non-interest  expense  included  one-time charges of
$1.1 million  associated  with a leasing  acquisition  and  unrelated  other
adjustments.



<PAGE>



Net interest income increased to $19.6 million from $16.7 million,  for the nine
months  ended  September  30,  1999 and 1998  primarily  due to a $15.0  million
increase in the positive  variance between average  interest-earning  assets and
average interest-bearing  liabilities. The net interest margin was 4.22% for the
nine-months  ended  September  30, 1999 compared to 4.38% for the same period in
1998; the decline was primarily due to higher yielding commercial business loans
and leases during the first half of 1998.

Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998 included
$2.3 million and  $659,000,  respectively,  in provision  for possible  loan and
lease  losses.  The increase in the provision for possible loan and lease losses
was due to increases in the loan and lease  portfolio and  non-performing  loans
and leases; and an additional charge of $675,000, the result of a new charge-off
policy at Progress  Leasing  Company.  Non-interest  income  increased  to $14.1
million  from $6.4  million for the nine months  ended  September 30,  1999
compared to the same  period in 1998.  This  increase  was  partially  due to an
increase in fee based  income of $4.6  million as the Company  continues to grow
its non-bank  businesses.  Client  warrant income of $3.3 million was recognized
during the nine months ended  September  30, 1999,  primarily  the result of the
expiration of  restrictions  on the sale of warrants to acquire shares of common
stock  on  VerticalNet,  Inc.,  a  customer  of the  Company.  Loss  on  sale of
securities  was  $222,000 for the nine months ended  September  30, 1999,
compared  to a gain on sale of  securities  of  $437,000  for the same period in
1998.  Non-interest expense increased to $24.1 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999 in comparison with $16.9 million for the same period in 1998.
This  increase  was  partially  due to a $4.4  million  increase in salaries and
employee  benefits  relating to employees of acquired and newly formed companies
and new positions established within the Company.  Non-interest expense included
one-time charges of $1.1 million associated with a leasing acquisition and
unrelated other adjustments. Other non-interest expenses increased $1.8 million
mainly due to increases in  professional  services due to increased  usage of an
interactive  voice  response  system  in  handling  new  internal  clients,  the
outsourcing of the internal audit function, increased tax services and Year 2000
systems testing;  and occupancy and furniture,  fixtures and equipment  expenses
due to new branch openings and recent acquisitions.

Total  assets  increased  to $704.1  million at  September  30, 1999 from $646.8
million at December 31, 1998  primarily due to a $58.3  million  increase in net
loans and lease  receivables.  Deposits increased to $491.6 million at September
30,  1999 from  $408.2  million at December  31,  1998  primarily  due to branch
expansion in Bucks and Chester counties.


                               FINANCIAL CONDITION

Liquidity and Funding

The Company must  maintain  sufficient  liquidity  to meet the funding  needs of
current loan demand,  savings deposit withdrawals and to pay operating expenses.
The Company  monitors its liquidity in accordance  with internal  guidelines and
applicable  regulatory  requirements.  The  Bank is  required  under  applicable
federal  regulations  to maintain  liquid  assets of not less than 4% of its net
withdrawable accounts plus short-term borrowings.  These levels are changed from
time to time by the Office of Thrift Supervision to reflect economic conditions.
The Bank's liquidity ratio at September 30, 1999 was 14.15%, which was
in excess of the current minimum requirement.

The Company's  primary source of funds has historically  consisted of: deposits;
amortization and prepayments of outstanding  loans;  borrowings from the Federal
Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") and other sources; and, sales of investment  securities,
loans and mortgage-backed securities. During the nine months ended September 30,
1999, the Company used its resources  primarily to meet its ongoing  commitments
to fund existing and new loan commitments and maintain its liquidity.

For the nine months ended  September  30, 1999,  cash was used in operating  and
investing activities and provided by financing activities.  Operating activities
used $6.2  million of cash.  Investing  activities  used  $41.0  million in cash
primarily  due to net  increases  in  loans  and  leases.  Financing  activities
provided  $56.3 million in cash primarily from net increases of $77.9 million in
time  deposits,  offset by decreases of $30.6 in short-term  borrowings,  as the
Company increased its emphasis on deposit funding.

Year 2000

The Year 2000 issue concerns the potential impact of historic  computer software
code that utilizes  only two digits to represent  the calendar year (i.e.,  "98"
FOR "1998"). Software so developed, and not corrected,  could produce inaccurate
or  unpredictable  results  commencing  upon  January 1, 2000,  when current and
future dates present a lower two digit number than dates from the prior century.
The Company,  similar to most  financial  service  providers,  is  significantly
subject  to the  potential  impact of the Year 2000  issue due to the  nature of
financial information. Potential impacts to the Company may arise from software,
computer hardware,  and other equipment both within the Company's direct control
and   outside  of  the   Company's   ownership,   yet  with  which  the  Company
electronically or operationally  interfaces.  Financial  institution  regulators
have intensively  focused upon Year 2000 exposures,  issuing guidance concerning
the  responsibilities of senior management and directors.  Year 2000 testing and
certification  is  being  addressed  as a key  safety  and  soundness  issue  in
conjunction with regulatory exams.

In order to address the Year 2000 issue,  the  Company  has  developed  and
implemented a five-phase  plan divided into the following major  components:  1)
awareness;   2)   assessment;   3) renovation;   4)   validation;   and  5)
implementation.  The Company has divided these phases into the  following  three
categories: 1) internal; 2) vendors; and 3) customers.

The  company  has  completed  all phases for the three  categories.  The Company
outsources its core data and item processing operations; a significant component
of the Year 2000  compliance  was performed by its service  providers.  Based on
extensive  interaction and testing with the Bank's primary vendors,  the Company
is confident that it has performed all necessary preparation for Year 2000.

The Company has  established  a Year 2000  committee  which meets  bi-weekly and
reports at least  quarterly to the Board of  Directors  on the  progress  toward
achieving and certifying Year 2000  compliance.  The Company  completed the Year
2000 preparation as of June 30, 1999.

The Company has no internally  generated  programmed software coding to correct,
as all of the software  utilized by the Company is  purchased  or licensed  form
external providers. The Company has determined that it has little or no exposure
to contingencies related to Year 2000 issues for products it has sold.

The Company  continues to communicate with all of its significant  suppliers and
customers to  remediate  any Year 2000  issues.  The Company has received  third
party  vendor  representations  that their  products  and services are Year 2000
compliant. The response of certain third parties, however, is beyond the control
of the Company.  To the extent that adequate responses have not been received to
date,  the Company has  developed  contingency  plans.  At this time the Company
cannot  estimate  the  additional  cost,  if any,  that might  develop from such
contingency plans.

The  Company's  total  Year 2000  estimated  project  cost,  which is based upon
currently  available  information,  includes expenses for the review and testing
related to third parties,  including government entities.  However, there can be
no guarantee that the hardware, software, and systems of such third parties will
be without unfavorable Year 2000 impact and therefore present a material adverse
impact upon the Company.

Year 2000  compliance  costs incurred during the nine months ended September 30,
1999 have  totaled  approximately  $85,000,  the majority of which is related to
consulting fees for systems testing.  No material additional Year 2000 costs for
1999 are expected to be expensed.  These costs are  exclusive of internal  costs
related with non-dedicated  personnel which are not tracked separately.  At this
time no significant projects have been delayed as a result of the Company's Year
2000 effort.

Despite the Company's  activities with regard to the Year 2000 issue,  there can
be no  assurance  that  partial  or total  systems  interruptions  or the  costs
necessary  to update  hardware and  software  would not have a material  adverse
effect upon the Company's business,  financial condition, results of operations,
and business prospects.

Non-performing  assets increased to $3.8 million at September 30, 1999 from $3.7
million at  December  31,  1998,  and from $2.9  million at  September  30, 1998
primarily due to an increase in non-accrual lease financing. The $3.8 million of
non-accrual  loans at  September  30, 1999  consisted  of $1.8  million of lease
financing,  $1.0 million of loans secured by single family residential property,
$583,000 of commercial  business loans,  $180,000 of commercial  mortgages,  and
$128,000 in consumer loans.

Accruing  loans 90 or more days past due increased from $4.0 million at December
31, 1998 to $7.3 million at September 30, 1999.  This increase was primarily due
to an increase in accruing 90-day-or-more  delinquent commercial business loans.
The $7.3  million of accruing  loans 90 or more days past due at  September  30,
1999  consisted  of $2.4  million  of  commercial  mortgages,  $3.0  million  of
commercial business loans, $50,000 of loans secured by single family residential
property, $101,000 in consumer loans and $170,000 in lease financing.

Net interest income, on a tax-equivalent basis, amounted to $6.8 million for the
three months ended  September 30, 1999 in comparison with $6.0 million
for the same period in 1998.  Net  interest  income for the three  months  ended
September 30, 1999 was positively impacted by a $63.9 million increase
in average interest-earning  assets, while average interest-bearing  liabilities
increased  $55.4  million.  The net  interest  margin  increased 8 basis  points
primarily  due to the $8.5  million  increase in the positive  variance  between
average interest-earning assets and average interest-bearing liabilities.

On a tax-equivalent  basis, total interest income increased to $13.2 million for
the three months ended September 30, 1999 compared to $12.3 million for the same
period  in 1998  due to  growth  in  average  interest-earning  assets  of $63.9
million.  This growth  relates to a combination of higher  commercial  business,
real  estate and  construction  loans and lease  production.  Average  loans and
leases  increased $83.1 million compared to the three months ended September 30,
1998.

Total  interest  expense  increased  to $6.4  million for the three months ended
September  30,  1999  compared  to $6.3  million  for the same  period  in 1998.
Interest  expense on  deposits  increased  $564,000  as the  average  balance of
interest-bearing deposits increased $73.5 million. This increase was offset by a
reduction in interest  expense on total  borrowings of $409,000,  as the average
balance decreased $18.2 million. This increase in deposits was necessary to fund
the increase in interest-earning assets.

Net interest income,  on a tax-equivalent  basis,  amounted to $19.7 million for
the nine months  ended  September 30, 1999  in  comparison  with $16.7
million for the same  period in 1998.  Net  interest  income for the nine months
ended  September 30, 1999  was positively impacted by a $116.3 million
increase in average  interest-earning  assets,  while  average  interest-bearing
liabilities increased $101.2 million. The net interest margin decreased 16 basis
points due to higher yields on  commercial  business  loans and lease  financing
during the first half of 1998.

On a tax-equivalent  basis, total interest income increased to $38.3 million for
the nine months ended  September 30, 1999 compared to $33.0 million for the same
period  in 1998 due to  growth  in  average  interest-earning  assets  of $116.3
million.  This growth  relates to a combination of higher  commercial  business,
real  estate and  construction  loans and lease  production.  Average  loans and
leases  increased $83.7 million  compared to the nine months ended September 30,
1998.

Total  interest  expense  increased  to $18.6  million for the nine months ended
September  30,  1999  compared  to $16.3  million  for the same  period in 1998.
Interest  expense on deposits  increased $1.3 million as the average  balance of
interest-bearing  deposits  increased $68.3 million.  Interest  expense on total
borrowings  increased  $998,000  as the  average  balance  of  total  borrowings
increased  $32.9  million.  This increase in deposits and total  borrowings  was
necessary to fund the increase in interest-earning assets.

Provision for Possible Loan and Lease Losses

During the three  months  ended  September  30,  1999,  the  Company  recorded a
$658,000 provision for possible loan and lease losses compared with $233,000 for
the  comparable  period in 1998. The increase in the provision for possible loan
and  lease  losses  was  primarily  due to an  increase  in the loan  and  lease
portfolio and an increase in  non-performing  loans and leases.  Net charge-offs
amounted to $458,000  during the third  quarter of 1999 in  comparison  with net
recoveries of $71,000 during the comparable period in 1998.

During the nine months ended  September  30, 1999,  the Company  recorded a $2.3
million provision  compared with $659,000 for the comparable period in 1998. The
increase in the  provision  for possible loan and lease losses was partially due
to  increases  in the loan and  lease  portfolio  and  non-performing  loans and
leases; and included an additional  $675,000 as a result of the present level of
delinquencies  and  charge-offs  within the leasing  portfolio.  The  charge-off
policy of the leasing  division  has been  revised such that all leases past 180
days are  charged  off.  In  addition,  the  Company  has  committed  additional
resources to improve collection efforts in the leasing division. Net charge-offs
amounted to $1.6  million  during the nine months  ended  September  30, 1999 in
comparison with net recoveries of $89,000 during the comparable period in 1998.

At September 30, 1999, the allowance for possible loan and lease losses amounted
to $5.2  million  or  1.11% of total  loans  and  leases  and  137.87%  of total
non-performing  loans and leases.  At  December  31,  1998,  the  allowance  for
possible loan and lease losses  amounted to $4.5 million or 1.06% of total loans
and leases and 121.91% of total  non-performing  loans and leases. The Company's
allowance for possible loan and lease losses increased by $694,000 from December
31,1998.  The $989,000 increase in provision for possible loan and lease losses,
excluding  the  additional  charge of  $675,000,  for the nine  months  ended
September  30, 1999 was  considered  necessary  by  management  to maintain  the
allowance for possible loan and lease losses at an adequate level.  The ratio of
delinquent  loans and leases to the total loan and lease portfolio  increased to
3.56% at September 30, 1999 from 3.46% at December 31, 1998.

Non-Interest Income

Total  non-interest  income  increased to $7.1 million from $2.3 million for the
three months ended  September 30, 1999 compared to the same period in 1998. This
increase was due to client warrant income of $2.8 million,  primarily the result
of the expiration of  restrictions  on the sale of warrants to acquire shares of
common stock on VerticalNet, Inc., a customer of the Company; and a $2.1 million
increase in fee based  income.  Fee based income  increased  due to mutual fund,
annuity and insurance  commissions of $713,000  earned by PFR and a $1.1 million
increase in teleservices fee income due to new inbound clients. Loss on the sale
of securities  was $66,000 for the three months ended  September  30, 1999,
compared to a gain of $100,000 for the same period in 1998.

Total  non-interest  income increased to $14.1 million from $6.4 million for the
nine months ended  September 30,  1999 compared to the same period in 1998.
This  increase  was  partially  due to an increase  in fee based  income of $4.6
million as the Company continues to grow its non-bank  businesses.  Mutual fund,
annuity  and  insurance   commissions  of  $1.8  million  were  earned  by  PFR.
Teleservices  fee income increased $1.8 million in comparison to the nine months
ended  September  30,  1998 due to new  inbound  clients.  Other  non-bank  fees
including lease financing,  loan brokerage and advisory, and investment advisory
fees   increased   $591,000   in   comparison   with  the  nine   months   ended
September 30,  1998.  Client  warrant income of $3.3 million was recognized
during the nine months ended  September 30, 1999.  The Company  recognized  $2.7
million in client warrant income due to the  expiration of  restrictions  on the
sale of warrants  to acquire  shares of common  stock on  VerticalNet,  Inc.,  a
customer of the Company;  and $518,000 due to the initial public offering of IQE
plc on the EASDAQ  exchange.  The Company  recognized  income of  $625,000  from
equity participations in commercial loans during the nine months ended September
30,  1999.  Loss on sale of  securities  was  $222,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999,  compared to a gain on sale of securities of $437,000
for the same period in 1998.

Non-interest Expense

Total non-interest  expense increased to $9.8 million for the three months ended
September 30, 1999 in comparison  with $5.9 million for the same period in 1998.
This  increase  was  primarily  due to a $2.0  million  increase in salaries and
employee benefits relating to additional employees of the newly formed insurance
business, PFR, and the staffing of PCM to pursue our SBIC license, and other new
positions established within the Company. Occupancy and furniture,  fixtures and
equipment  expenses  increased  $295,000 in comparison to the three months ended
September 30,  1998 due to new branch  openings  and  recent  acquisitions.
Professional  services  expense  increased  by  $137,000  primarily  due  to the
increased  usage of an interactive  voice response system and the outsourcing of
the internal  audit  function.  Other  non-interest  expense  included  one-time
charges  of  $1.1  million  associated  with a  acquisition  and unrelated other
adjustments.

Non-interest  expense  increased  to $24.1  million  for the nine  months  ended
September 30, 1999 in comparison with $16.9 million for the same period in 1998.
This  increase  was  partially  due to a $3.9  million  increase in salaries and
employee  benefits  relating to employees of acquired and newly formed companies
and new positions established within the Company.  Professional services expense
increased by $704,000  primarily  due to the increased  usage of an  interactive
voice  response  system,   the  outsourcing  of  the  internal  audit  function,
consulting  fees for Year 2000 systems  testing,  and  increased  tax  services.
Occupancy and furniture,  fixtures and equipment  expenses increased $477,000 in
comparison  to the nine  months  ended  September  30,  1998  due to new  branch
openings and recent  acquisitions.  Other non-interest expense included one-time
charges  of  $1.1  million  associated  with a  leasing  acquisition  and
unrelated other adjustments
