NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)


(1)    Basis of Presentation

       In the opinion of  management,  the  financial  information  reflects all
       adjustments   necessary  for  a  fair   presentation   of  the  financial
       information  as of  September  30, 2000 and December 31, 1999 and for the
       three and nine months  ended  September  30, 2000 and 1999 in  conformity
       with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. 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, 1999.  Operating  results for the three and
       nine months ended  September 30, 2000 are not  necessarily  indicative of
       the results  that may be  expected  for any other  interim  period or the
       entire  year  ending  December  31,  2000.  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  Capital,  Inc.,  Progress  Development  Corp.,
       Progress Capital Management, Inc., Progress Financial Resources, Inc. and
       KMR Management,  Inc. All significant intercompany transactions have been
       eliminated.

(2)    Discontinued Operations

       During  the  second  quarter  of 2000,  the  Company  decided to sell its
       teleservicing  assets  to move  toward  focusing  on its  core  financial
       services  competencies.  Prior  period  presentation  has been changed to
       reflect the  requirement of Accounting  Principles  Board Opinion No. 30,
       "Reporting the Results of Operations," so that discontinued operations of
       Procall Teleservices, Inc. are separated from the continued operations of
       the Company as a whole.

       On May 19,  2000,  the Company  sold the assets of Procall  Teleservices,
       Inc.,  its  business-to-business  teleservices  subsidiary.  The  Company
       recognized a gain on this sale of $2.5 million  pretax ($1.5  million net
       of tax of $1.0  million) or diluted  earnings  per share of $.25.  Income
       from  discontinued  teleservices  operations  for the nine  months  ended
       September 30, 2000 amounted to $153,000 pre-tax  ($123,000,  net of taxes

       recognized on these warrants.

       In January 2000, the Company  acquired KMR Management,  Inc.  ("KMR");  a
       Pennsylvania  based corporation which provides  financial and operational
       management  consulting services for commercial  clients.  The acquisition
       was accounted for under the purchase  method of accounting.  The purchase
       price was $1.0 million,  which  included the issuance of 60,000  treasury

       Capital Resources
       -----------------
       Under the Federal Deposit Insurance  Corporation  Improvement Act of 1991
       specific  capital  categories  were  defined  based  on an  institution's
       capital ratios. To be considered "well  capitalized," an institution must
       generally  have a  tangible  equity  ratio  of at  least  2%, a Tier 1 or
       leverage  ratio of at least 5%, a Tier 1 risk-based  capital  ratio of at
       least 6% and a total risk-based capital ratio of at least 10%.

       At September 30, 2000, the Bank's tangible equity ratio was 6.42%, Tier 1
       or leverage ratio was 6.42%,  Tier 1 risk-based  capital ratio was 9.23%,
       and total risk-based  capital ratio was 10.32%. As of September 30, 2000,
       the Bank was classified as "well capitalized."

(9)    Capital Securities

       In July 2000,  the Company  issued  6,000  shares,  or $6.0  million,  of
       11.445%  trust  preferred  securities,   $1,000  liquidation  amount  per
       security,  due July 19, 2030 (the  "Trust  Preferred  Securities"),  in a
       private  offering  managed  by First  Union  Securities,  Inc.  The Trust
       Preferred Securities represent undivided beneficial interests in Progress
       Capital  Trust II (the "Trust II"), a statutory  business  trust  created
       under the laws of Delaware,  which was established by the Company for the
       purpose of issuing the Trust Preferred Securities. The Company has fully,
       irrevocably  and  unconditionally   guaranteed  all  of  the  Trust  II's
       obligations under the Trust Preferred  Securities.  Net proceeds from the
       sale of the securities were used for general purposes,  including but not
       limited to, capital  contributions to the Bank to fund its growth and for
       repurchases  of the  Company's  common  stock  under its  existing  stock
       repurchase program.

       During 1997 the Company issued $15.0 million of 10.5% capital  securities
       due June 1, 2027 (the "Capital Securities").  The Capital Securities were
       issued by the Company's  recently  formed  subsidiary,  Progress  Capital
       Trust I, a statutory  business  trust created under the laws of Delaware.
       The  Company  is the owner of all of the common  securities  of the Trust
       (the  "Common  Securities").  The Trust  issued  $15.0  million  of 10.5%

                                     SUMMARY

The Company  recorded net income of $1.8 million,  or diluted earnings per share
of $.29, for the three months ended September 30, 2000 compared to $2.3 million,
or $.37,  respectively,  for the three months ended  September 30, 1999.  Income
from continuing  operations  amounted to $1.7 million,  or diluted  earnings per
share of $.29,  for the three months ended  September  30, 2000 compared to $1.8
million or $.30,  respectively,  for the three months ended  September 30, 1999.
Return on average  shareholders'  equity was 14.33% and return on average assets
was .83% for the three months ended  September  30, 2000  compared to 20.73% and
1.31%, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 1999.

The Company  recorded net income of $5.9 million,  or diluted earnings per share
of $.97, for the nine months ended  September 30, 2000 compared to $4.7 million,
or $.77, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 1999. Income from
continuing operations amounted to $4.2 million, or diluted earnings per share of
$.70,  for the nine months ended  September 30, 2000 compared to $4.1 million or
$.67,  respectively,  for the nine months ended  September 30, 1999.  During the
second  quarter  of  2000  the  Company  sold  the  assets  of its  teleservices
operations  resulting in a gain of $2.5 million pretax,  $1.5 million net of tax
or diluted earnings per share of $.25.  Return on average  shareholders'  equity
was  16.48% and return on  average  assets  was .97% for the nine  months  ended
September  30,  2000  compared  to 14.80% and .94%,  respectively,  for the nine
months ended September 30, 1999.

Net interest  income  increased to $8.1 million from $6.8  million,  and the net
interest  margin  decreased  slightly to 4.18% from 4.24%,  comparing  the three
months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999. Despite numerous rate increases by the
Federal  Reserve,  the Company has  sufficiently  managed its increasing cost of
funds by deploying  capital into higher  yielding  investments and variable rate
loans which  resulted in a $1.4 million  increase in tax equivalent net interest
income.

Net interest income  increased to $23.6 million from $19.6 million,  and the net
interest  margin  increased  slightly  to 4.24% from 4.22%,  comparing  the nine
months ended  September 30, 2000 and 1999. The Company has  effectively  managed
its  increasing  cost  of  funds  by  deploying  capital  into  higher  yielding
investments and variable rate loans which resulted in a $4.2 million increase in
tax equivalent net interest income.

Non-interest  income decreased $1.5 million for the three months ended September
30, 2000  compared to the same period in 1999  primarily  due to a $2.9  million
decrease in client  warrant  income offset by an increase in financial  services
fee  income  of $1.2  million.  Non-interest  expense,  excluding  non-recurring
charges of $1.1 million in the three months ended September 30, 1999,  increased
by $1.0 million  primarily  due to growth in the  Company's  financial  services
operations.
<PAGE>

Non-interest  income  increased $1.5 million for the nine months ended September
30, 2000  compared to the same period in 1999  primarily  due to a $3.5  million
increase  financial services fee income offset by a $2.6 million decrease equity
in  unconsolidated  subsidiaries  representing a partial  reversal of unrealized
gains  reported in the fourth  quarter of 1999. The provision for loan and lease
losses increased  $427,000  primarily due to a commercial loan charge-off during
the first quarter of 2000, a more aggressive leasing  charge-off  policy,  which
was  implemented  in the  second  quarter  of 1999,  and loan and lease  growth.
Non-interest  expense,  excluding  nonrecurring  expenses of  $251,000  and $1.1
million  for  the  nine-month   periods  ended  September  30,  2000  and  1999,
respectively,  increased  $5.8 million  primarily due to growth in the Company's
financial services operations.

Total  assets  increased  to $878.3  million at  September  30, 2000 from $768.9
million at December  31, 1999  primarily  due to loan and lease  growth of $58.5
million and an increase in  mortgage-backed  securities of $57.1 million.  Total
deposits  increased to $589.6  million at September 30, 2000 from $521.4 million
at December 31, 1999.  Deposit growth was primarily the result of new commercial
business customer relationships and retail branch expansion.

                               FINANCIAL CONDITION

Liquidity and Funding

The Company must maintain sufficient  liquidity to meet its funding requirements
for loan and lease commitments,  scheduled debt repayments,  operating expenses,
and deposit  withdrawals.  The Bank is the primary source of working capital for
the  Company.  At  September  30,  2000,  the  Bank met all  regulatory  capital
liquidity  requirements.  Regulations  currently  in effect  require the Bank to
maintain liquid assets of not less than 4% of its net withdrawable accounts plus
short-term  borrowings.  At September 30, 2000,  the Bank's  liquidity  ratio of
10.22% was in excess of the current minimum requirement.

The  Company's  need for liquidity is affected by loan demand and net changes in
retail  deposit  levels.  The Company can minimize the cash required  during the
times of heavy loan demand by  modifying  its credit  policies  or reducing  its
marketing efforts.  Liquidity demand caused by net reductions in retail deposits
are usually  caused by factors over which the Company has limited  control.  The
Company derives its liquidity from both its assets and liabilities. Liquidity is
derived  from  assets  by  receipt  of  interest  and  principal   payments  and
prepayments,  by the  ability to sell assets at market  prices and by  utilizing
unpledged  assets as  collateral  for  borrowings.  Liquidity  is  derived  from
liabilities  by  maintaining  a variety of  funding  sources,  including  retail
deposits, FHLB borrowings and securities sold under agreement to repurchase.

The Company's primary sources of funds have historically  consisted of deposits,
amortization  and  prepayments  of  outstanding   loans,   FHLB  borrowings  and
securities  sold under  agreement  to  repurchase  and sales of  investment  and
mortgage-backed securities. During the nine months ended September 30, 2000, the
Company used its capital resources  primarily to meet its ongoing commitments to
fund maturing savings  certificates and deposit  withdrawals,  fund existing and
continuing  loan  commitments,  and maintain its liquidity.  For the nine months
ended  September 30, 2000, cash was provided by operating  activities.  Cash was
used in  investing  activities  primarily  due to net  origination  of loans and
purchases  of  mortgage-backed   securities.  Cash  was  provided  by  financing
activities, primarily due to net increases in deposits and issuance of long-term
borrowings.

Non-performing  assets increased to $7.9 million at September 30, 2000 from $5.8
million at December 31, 1999,  and from $3.8 million at September 30, 1999.  The
increase in non-performing  assets since December 31, 1999 was primarily related
to $5.7 million in residential real estate development  projects,  classified as
other real  estate  owned,  acquired  by the  Company  through  deeds in lieu of
foreclosure. The Company has recorded these projects at management's estimate of
net  realizable  value  at  September  30,  2000.  Management   anticipates  the
investment in these projects to be further reduced by year-end and eliminated by
the end of the first quarter of 2001. The $4.3 million of  non-accrual  loans at
September 30, 2000 consisted of $2.1 million of lease financing, $1.1 million of
loans  secured by single  family  residential  property,  $310,000 of commercial
business loans, $565,000 of commercial mortgages and $351,000 in consumer loans.

Accruing  loans 90 or more days past due decreased from $2.3 million at December
31, 1999 to $2.0  million at September  30,  2000.  The $2.0 million of accruing
loans 90 or more days past due at September  30, 2000  consisted of $2.0 million
of commercial mortgages.

Net interest income, on a tax-equivalent  basis,  increased $4.2 million and the
net interest margin increased  slightly to 4.24% from 4.22%,  comparing the nine
months ended  September 30, 2000 and 1999. The Company has  effectively  managed
its  increasing  cost  of  funds  by  deploying  capital  into  higher  yielding
investments  and variable rate loans.  Average loans and leases  increased $86.4
million and investment  securities  increased  $29.7 million  comparing the nine
months ended  September 30, 2000 to the same period in 1999.  The Company's cost
of funds increased 52 basis points, whereas its rate on earning assets increased
48 basis points and the positive  effect of net  interest-free  funding  sources
increased 6 basis points in comparison  with the nine months ended September 30,
1999.

Provision for Loan and Lease Losses

During the three  months  ended  September  30,  2000,  the  Company  recorded a
$517,000  provision for loan and lease losses;  a decrease of $141,000  compared
with the same period in 1999.  The decrease in the provision was the result of a
significant decrease in delinquencies,  partially offset by a slight increase in
nonaccrual  loans and leases  and loan and lease  growth  compared  to the three
months ended September 30, 1999.

During the nine months ended  September  30, 2000,  the Company  recorded a $2.8
million  provision for loan and lease losses  compared with $2.3 million for the
comparable  period in 1999.  The  increase of $427,000 was the result of a large
commercial  business loan  liquidation and partial  charge-off  during the first
quarter of 2000, loan and lease growth, and a more aggressive  charge-off policy
implemented in the second quarter of 1999 for the lease portfolio.

At September 30, 2000, the allowance for loan and lease losses  amounted to $6.5
million or 1.16% of total loans and leases and  149.79% of total  non-performing
loans and leases.  At December 31, 1999, the allowance for loan and lease losses
amounted to $5.9 million or 1.18% of total loans and leases and 103.96% of total
non-performing loans and leases.

Non-interest Income

Non-interest  income for the three months ended  September  30, 2000 amounted to
$4.2 million,  compared to $5.7 million for the same period in 1999. The Company
recognized a $103,000 loss from client warrants during the 2000 period primarily
due a decrease in the market  value of  warrants  held to acquire  common  stock
compared  to a gain of $2.8  million in the same  period of 1999  primarily  the
result of the  expiration  of  restrictions  on the sale of  warrants to acquire
common stock. Management fees increased $520,000, which were primarily generated
by the Company's  subsidiary  Progress Capital Management,  Inc. ("PCM"),  which
manages the mezzanine debt and venture capital funds.  Mutual fund,  annuity and
insurance  commissions  increased $343,000 over the three months ended September
30, 1999.  Consulting  fees of $193,000 were  generated  during the three months
ended  September  30, 2000 by the  Company's  subsidiary  KMR  Management,  Inc.
("KMR"), which provides financial and operational management consulting services
for commercial  clients.  These gains were partially offset by a net decrease of
$503,000  in  the  equity  of  unconsolidated   subsidiaries  primarily  due  to
unrealized  gains in the  mezzanine  and venture  capital funds during the third
quarter of 1999.

Non-interest  income for the nine months ended  September  30, 2000  amounted to
$13.0 million compared to $11.5 million for the same period in 1999. The Company
recognized  $3.5 million of client  warrant income during the 2000 period due to
the expiration of  restrictions  on the sale of warrants to acquire common stock
of Internet  Capital Group, US Interactive,  Inc., and EMAX Solutions  Partners,
Inc. The Company  recognized  $3.3 million of client  warrant  income during the
1999 period due to the  expiration  of  restrictions  on the sale of warrants to
acquire common stock of Internet  Capital Group.  Management fees increased $1.3
million,  which were primarily generated by the Company's  subsidiary PCM, which
manages the mezzanine debt and venture capital funds.  Mutual fund,  annuity and
insurance  commissions  increased  $1.1  million  over  the  nine  months  ended
September 30, 1999.  Consulting fees of $537,000 were generated  during the nine
months ended September 30, 2000 by the Company's  subsidiary KMR, which provides
financial and operational management consulting services for commercial clients.
Service  charges on  deposits  increased  $209,000  over the nine  months  ended
September  30, 1999.  Other Bank related fees  increased  $254,000 over the nine
months ended  September  30, 1999.  These gains were  partially  offset by a net
decrease of $2.6 million in the equity of unconsolidated  subsidiaries primarily
due to unrealized  losses in the mezzanine and venture  capital funds during the
nine months ended September 30, 2000.  These losses represent a partial reversal
of unrealized gains reported in the third and fourth quarter of 1999.

Non-interest Expense

Total  non-interest  expense was $9.2  million for the three  months  ended
September 30, 2000 compared to $9.1 million for the three months ended September
30, 1999. Excluding  non-recurring  expenses of $1.1 million in the three months
ended  September 30, 1999  associated  with a leasing  acquisition and unrelated
adjustments,  non-interest  expense  increased  $1.0 million.  This increase was
primarily  due to increases  in salaries and employee  benefits of $512,000 as a
result of  additional  employees  to staff three new bank  branches,  the recent
acquisition of KMR, the staffing of PCM and from other new positions established
within the Company.  Occupancy and  furniture,  fixtures and equipment  expenses
increased  $303,000  mainly  due  to a  new  operations  center,  bringing  data
processing  in-house  and  new  branch  openings.   Capital  securities  expense
increased  $138,000  due to the  issuance  of $6.0  million of  11.455%  capital
securities in July 2000. Excluding  non-recurring  expenses,  other non-interest
expense increased  $346,000  primarily due to a $164,000 increase in advertising
expense,  $77,000  increase in loan expense and a $62,000 increase in other real
estate owned expenses.


<PAGE>


Total non-interest expense was $27.5 million for the nine months ended September
30, 2000 compared to $22.6 million for the nine months ended  September 30,1999.
Excluding non-recurring expenses of $251,000 in the 2000 period related to
conversion  costs and $1.1 million in the 1999 period  associated with a leasing
acquisition  and unrelated  adjustments,  non-interest  expense  increased  $5.8
million. This increase in non-interest expense was primarily due to increases in
salaries  and  employee  benefits  of $3.2  million  as a result  of  additional
employees  to staff  new bank  branches,  the  recent  acquisition  of KMR,  the
staffing of PCM and from other new  positions  established  within the  Company.
Occupancy and furniture,  fixtures and equipment expenses increased $1.2 million
mainly due to a new operations center, bringing data processing in-house and new
branch  openings.  Data  processing  expense,  excluding  $74,000 in  conversion
related  expenses,  decreased  slightly  due to  bringing  operations  in-house.
Professional services expense,  excluding $31,000 in conversion related expenses
in 2000,  increased  $306,000  primarily due to consulting costs associated with
the business  generated  by the  Company's  subsidiaries  PCM and KMR; and legal
costs  associated with aggressive  collection  efforts on charged-off  loans and
leases.  Capital  securities  expense  increased  $139,000  primarily due to the
issuance  of $6.0  million of 11.455%  capital  securities  in July 2000.  Other
non-interest  expense,  excluding  non-recurring  conversion related expenses of
$111,000 in 2000 and non-recurring  expenses in 1999 of $1.1 million  associated
with a leasing acquisition and unrelated adjustments,  increased $977,000.  This
increase  was  mainly due to a  $356,000  increase  in  advertising  expense,  a
$312,000  increase in loan expense,  a $101,000  increase in state franchise and
capital  stock  taxes and a $71,000  increase in  goodwill  amortization  as the
Company  expanded its non-banking  businesses,  increased loan volume and opened
three new bank branches and a new operations center since September 30, 1999.
