1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
     accordance with instructions to Form 10-QSB.  Accordingly, they do not
     include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted
     accounting principles for complete financial statements.  However, such
     information reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring
     adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair
     statement of results for the unaudited interim periods.

     The results of operations of the three and nine month periods ended June
     30, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for
     the year ending September 30, 1996.  The consolidated financial statements
     presented herein should be read in conjunction with the audited
     consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in the
     Company's Annual Report to Stockholders for the year ended September 30,
     1995.

     At June 30, 1996 and September 30, 1995 non-performing loans (which include
     loans in excess of 90 days delinquent) amounted to approximately $5,758 and
     $3,150, respectively.

7.   EARNINGS PER SHARE

     Earnings per share ("EPS") was $0.46 and $0.97 for the three and nine
     months ended June 30, 1996, respectively.  EPS was calculated based on the
     number of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding for the
     three and nine months ended June 30, 1996.  Weighted average shares
     outstanding were 1,160,406 and 1,200,476 for the three and nine months
     ended June 30, 1996, respectively, and, in accordance with SOP 93-6, do not
     include shares held by the stock benefit plans that were purchased and
     unallocated during the periods.

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

COMPARISON OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AT JUNE 30, 1996 (UNAUDITED) AND
SEPTEMBER 30, 1995

Total assets of the Company increased $9.6 million or 3.4% from $281.0 
million at September 30, 1995 to $290.5 million at June 30, 1996.  The 
increase in total assets during the nine months ended June 30, 1996 was due 
primarily to a $5.7 million increase in investment securities (all of which 
are available for sale as a result of the reclassification from held to 
maturity), a $73.8 million increase in mortgage-related securities (including 
both available for sale and held to maturity), a $2.9 million increase in 
loans held for sale and a $6.2 million increase in loans receivable-net, 
which increases were partially offset by a decrease in cash and cash 
equivalents of $10.6 million.  The decrease in cash and cash equivalents 
reflected the repayment of $5.3 million of Federal Home Loan Bank advances 
and the funding of a $2.1 million decrease in deposits.  The increase in 
loans receivable-net was due to the origination of residential loans for 
portfolio retention slightly offset by decreases in the securities portfolio 
as part of the Company's asset/liability strategy.  Also as part of the 
Company's asset/liability strategy, an aggregate of approximately $12.8 
million of fixed and adjustable-rate mortgage-related securities were sold 
for a loss of $11,000, with the proceeds being reinvested into higher 
yielding loans and securities.

Real estate owned increased to $1.1 million at June 30, 1996 from $465,000 at 
September 30, 1995 due to the acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure on 
the Company's only delinquent construction loan funding the acquisition of 
and improvement of a 107-lot real estate development project and the 
construction of 38 townhouses located in North Coventry Township in 
Pennsylvania.  The Company has engaged a local builder to complete the 
project.  It is currently expected that the project should be completed in 18 
to 24 months.

Deposits decreased $2.1 million or .93% from $223.8 million at September 30, 
1995 to $221.7 million at June 30, 1996. This reduction in deposits occurred 
due to higher rate certificates of deposit maturing.

Stockholders' equity decreased approximately $1.5 million primarily due the 
completion of the Company's initial stock repurchase program.   A total of 
67,500 shares (5% of the outstanding shares) were repurchased at an aggregate 
cost of approximately $1.3 million.

COMPARISON OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED
JUNE 30, 1996 AND 1995

NET INCOME.

Net income was $536,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1996 as compared 
to $322,000 for the same period in 1995 while net income for the nine months 
ended June 30, 1996 was $1.2 million as compared to $771,000 for the same 
period in 1995.  The $214,000 or 66.5% increase in net income for the three 
months ended June 30, 1996 was due to a $342,000 increase in net interest 
income, a $3,000 increase in other income together with a $121,000 decrease 
in operating expenses partially offset by a $227,000 increase in income 
taxes.  The $392,000 or 50.8% increase in net income for the nine months 
ended June 30, 1996 was due to a $1.2 million increase in net interest income 
and a


                                      9

<PAGE>

$66,000 increase in other income partially offset by increases of $321,000 
and $430,000 in operating expenses and in income tax expense, respectively.

NET INTEREST INCOME.

Net interest income increased $342,000 or 17.8% to $2.3 million and $1.2 
million or 21.2% to $6.6 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 
1996, respectively, as compared to the same period in 1995.  With respect to 
the quarter ended June 30, 1996,  The increase was primarily due to a 
$147,000 or 3.1% increase in interest income combined with a $195,000 or 6.9% 
decrease in interest expense.  With respect to the nine month period, the 
increase reflected a $1.4 million or 10.4% increase in interest income, 
offset partially by a $235,000 or 3.0% increase in interest expense.  The 
average balance of interest-earning assets increased $11.3 million and $18.9 
million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 1996, respectively, as 
compared to the same period in 1995.  The interest rate spread and net 
interest margin amounted to 3.09% and 3.40% for the three months ended June 
30, 1996 as compared to 2.69% and 3.02% for the same period in 1995.  The 
weighted average yield earned on interest-earning assets decreased 10 basis 
points to 7.36% during the three months ended June 30, 1996 as compared to 
7.46% for the prior period in 1995.   In addition, the weighted average rate 
paid on interest-bearing liabilities decreased 50 basis points to 4.27% 
during the three months ended June 30, 1996 as compared to 4.77% for the same 
period in 1995. This decrease was attributable to higher interest-bearing 
liabilities renewing at lower rates.  The interest rate spread and net 
interest  margin were 2.99% and 3.33%, respectively, for the nine months 
ended June 30, 1996 as compared to 2.70% and 2.96% for the same periods in 
1995. During the nine months ended June 30, 1996, the weighted average yield 
on interest-earning assets increased 18 basis points to 7.44% as compared to 
7.26% for the prior period.  This increase was partially offset by an 
increase in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities of $4.5 
million for the nine months ended June 30, 1996, as compared to the same 
period in 1995.  In addition, the weighted average rate paid on 
interest-bearing liabilities decreased 11 basis points to 4.45% during the 
nine months ended June 30, 1996 as compared to 4.56% during the nine months 
ended June 30, 1995.  

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES.

The Company's provision for loan losses increased to $38,000 for the three 
months ended June 30, 1996 as compared to $13,000 for the same period in 
1995.  For the nine months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 the provision for 
loan losses was $113,000 and $39,000, respectively.  The increases were due 
to increases in the loan portfolio.  

Between September 1992 and March 1996, the Company purchased 16 separate 
pools of lease financings from Bennett Funding Group, Inc. ("Bennett 
Funding") and its affiliates with a total balance outstanding as of  June 30, 
1996 of $3.9 million. Included in the total balance were $890,000 in 
equipment leases (some of which are insured against default by a private 
insurer), $800,000 in interim contract financings for equipment leases which 
have not yet been pooled and sold and $380,000 in consumer financings issued 
by Bennett Funding.  Also included in the Company's total balance were $1.4 
million in consumer receivables issued by Bennett Funding International, an 
affiliate of Bennett Funding, secured by timeshare financing contracts, which 
contracts are insured against default by a private insurer, and $475,000 in 
equipment leases from Bennett Leasing Corp., another affiliate of Bennett 
Funding.  On March 29, 1996, Bennett Funding, a closely-held Syracuse, New 
York-based leasing company, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. 
Subsequently, the Company has been advised that additional Bennett Funding 
affiliates, including affiliates who act as the processor for


                                     10

<PAGE>

payments due holders of leases and loans issued by Bennett Funding and its 
affiliates, have been placed in bankruptcy by the Chapter 11 bankruptcy 
trustee for Bennett Funding and/or others. Although the Company is continuing 
to receive payments on the $1.4 million of consumer receivables issued by 
Bennett Funding International, the Company has chosen to place the entire 
$3.9 million amount outstanding held by the Company on non-accrual and to 
classify the credits as substandard. Accordingly, at June 30, 1996, the 
Company's total non-performing assets increased to $7.4 million or 2.53% of 
total assets from $3.6 million or 1.29% of total assets at September 30, 
1995.  Although the Company has not established any specific reserves or 
charged off any portion of the financings, the Company, in accordance with 
its policy regarding classified assets, has allocated approximately $400,000 
of its unallocated general loss allowance. The Company is actively monitoring 
the bankruptcy proceedings.  However, to date only limited information has 
been made available by the bankruptcy trustee.  As a consequence, no 
assurance can be given that significant additional provisions or charge offs 
will not be required or that losses will not be incurred in connection with 
the resolution of the situation. However, the Company is vigorously pursuing 
all options available to protect its interests.

OTHER INCOME.

Other income increased $3,000 or 0.9% to $337,000 and $66,000 or 7.6% to 
$938,000 for the three and nine months ended June 30, 1996, respectively, as 
compared to the same period in 1995.  The increase was primarily the result 
of increases in the net gain on sale of loans as well as modest increases in 
service charges and other fees.

OPERATING EXPENSES.

Operating expenses decreased $121,000 or 6.7% during the three months ended 
June 30, 1996 as compared to the same period in 1995 primarily due to a 
decrease in salaries and employee benefits expense reflecting the effects of 
the implementation of the Company's restructuring plan.  For the nine months 
ended June 30, 1996, operating expenses increased $321,000 or 6.2% primarily 
due to approximately a $311,000 provision relating to the Company's 
restructuring plan. Increases of $147,000, $112,500 and $48,500 were incurred 
in the compensation and employee benefits, occupancy and equipment and 
professional fees expenses as part of the restructuring plan.  In addition, 
professional fees increased $224,500, net of the restructuring costs, the 
majority of which related to various ongoing legal matters.  See "Item 1 - 
Legal Proceedings" 

INCOME TAX EXPENSE

Income tax expense increased $227,000 to $344,000 and $430,000 to $709,000 
during the three and nine months ended June 30, 1996, respectively, as 
compared to the same periods in 1995.  The increases were primarily a result 
of an increase in income before income taxes and an increase in the state tax 
expense. State tax expense was lower in prior periods due to the utilization 
of certain state tax carryforwards.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's liquidity, represented by cash and cash equivalents, is a 
product of its operating, investing and financing activities.  The Company's 
primary sources of funds are deposits, amortization, prepayment and 
maturities of outstanding loans and mortgage-related securities, sales of 
loans, maturities of investment securities and other short-term investments, 
borrowing and funds provided from operations.  While scheduled payments from 
the amortization of loans and mortgage-related securities and maturing 
investment securities and short-term investments are relatively predictable 
sources of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced 
by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition.  In addition, 
the Company invests excess funds in overnight deposits and other short-term 
interest-earning assets which provide liquidity to meet lending requirements. 
The Company has been able to generate sufficient cash through its deposits 
as well as borrowings (consisting solely of advances from the Federal Home 
Loan Bank of Pittsburgh "FHLB") to satisfy its funding commitments.  At June 
30, 1996, the Company had $39.6 million in outstanding advances from the FHLB 
of Pittsburgh.

Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term function of business 
management.  Excess liquidity is generally invested in short-term investments 
such as overnight deposits.  On a longer term basis, the Company maintains a 
strategy of investing in various lending products, mortgage-related 
securities and investment securities.  The Company uses its sources of funds 
primarily to meet its ongoing commitments, to pay maturing certificates of 
deposit and savings withdrawals, fund loan commitments and maintain a 
portfolio of mortgage-related and investment securities.  At June 30, 1996, 
the total approved loan commitments outstanding amounted to $6.9 million, not 
including loans in process.  At the same date, commitments under unused lines 
of credit amounted to $2.8 million.  Certificates of deposit scheduled to 
mature in one year or less at June 30, 1996 totalled $80.2 million. Based 
upon its historical experience, management believes that a significant 
portion of maturing deposits will remain with the Company.

The Company is required by the Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS") to 
maintain average daily balances of liquid assets and short-term liquid assets 
(as defined) in amounts equal to 5% and 1%, respectively, of net withdrawable 
deposits and borrowings payable in one year or less to assure its ability to 
meet demand from withdrawals and repayments of short-term borrowings.  The 
liquidity requirements may vary from time to time at the direction of the OTS 
depending upon economic conditions and deposit flows.  The Company's average 
monthly liquidity ratio and short-term liquid assets for June 1996 was 7.3% 
and 3.6%, respectively.

As of June 30, 1996, the Company had regulatory capital which was in excess 
of applicable limits.  The Company is required under certain federal 
regulations to maintain tangible capital equal to at least 1.5% of its 
adjusted total assets, core capital equal to at least 3.0% of its adjusted 
total assets and total capital to at least 8.0% of its risk-weighted assets.  
At June 30, 1996, the Bank had tangible capital equal to 7.9% of adjusted 
total assets, core capital equal to 7.9% of adjusted total assets and total 
capital equal to 18.1% of risk-weighted assets.

IMPACT OF INFLATION AND CHANGING PRICES

The Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company and related notes 
presented herein have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted 
accounting principles which requires the measurement of financial position 
and operating results in terms of historical dollars, without considering 
changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation.

Unlike most industrial companies, substantially all of the assets and 
liabilities of a financial institution are monetary in nature.  As a result, 
interest rates have a more significant impact on a financial institution's 
performance than the effects of general levels of inflation.  Interest rates 
do not necessarily move in the same direction or in the same magnitude as the 
price of goods and services, since such prices are affected by inflation to a 
larger extent than interest rates.  In the current interest rate environment, 
liquidity and the maturity structure of the Company's assets and liabilities 
are critical to the maintenance of acceptable performance levels.

                                     PART II

Item 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

         In April 1994, a lawsuit was filed in the Court of Common Pleas in
         Delaware County.  The lawsuit was brought on behalf of the estates of
         eight individuals arising out of the activities of a now deceased
         attorney who maintained a law practice in Media, Pennsylvania.  The
         attorney was accused of misappropriating the funds of such estates for
         which he served as counsel, executor and administrator.  The plaintiffs
         claimed damages of approximately $900,000 plus unspecified punitive
         damages and costs.  The case was finally settled on May 13, 1996 with
         all of the plaintiffs.  The Bank entered into the settlement to, among
         other things, avoid the cost and disruption of continuing litigation.
         Under the terms of the settlement agreement, the Bank provided $400,000
         to the plaintiffs in settlement of all the claims thereof. The Bank had
         previously established reserves with respect to a substantial portion
         of such amount.  The Bank has filed a claim with its insurance carrier
         and has received full coverage for the claim, less its deductible.
         The Bank has also filed a claim with its insurance carrier for recovery
         of its expenses incurred in defense of the lawsuit.  Discussions are
         continuing with respect to the resolution of this matter.
