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 six month periods ended
March 31, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
expected for the fiscal year ending September 30, 1998. 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, 1997.
Certain information in this quarterly statement may constitute
forward-looking information that involves risks and uncertainties that
could cause actual results to differ materially from those estimated.
Persons are cautioned that such forward-looking statements are not
guarantees of future performance and are subject to various factors
which could cause actual results to differ materially from those
estimated. These factors include changes in general economic and market
conditions and the development of an interest rate environment that
adversely affects the interest rate spread or other income from the
Company's and the Bank's investments and operations.

6. EARNINGS PER SHARE
In February 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share".
This statement which supercedes APB Opinion No. 15, simplifies the
standards for computing earnings per share ("EPS"). SFAS 128 replaces
the current "primary" and "fully diluted" earnings per share with
"basic" and "diluted" earnings per share.
The reported basic and fully diluted earnings per share is as follows:

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
COMPARISON OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AT MARCH 31, 1998 (UNAUDITED) AND SEPTEMBER
30, 1997
Total assets of the Company increased $11.7 million or 3.1% from $373.4 million
at September 30, 1997 to $385.2 million at March 31, 1998 primarily due to a
$15.3 million increase in investment securities available for sale combined with
a $4.9 million increase in loans receivable-net and a $3.2 million increase in
cash and cash equivalents partially offset by a $6.5 million decrease in
mortgage-related securities available for sale and a $5.0 million decrease in
investment securities held to maturity. The increase in investment securities
and loans was funded primarily through cash and deposit accounts. The loan
growth was concentrated primarily in single-family and commercial real estate
loans and consumer loans.
Deposits increased $9.6 million or 4.2% from $227.9 million at September 30,
1997 to $237.5 million at March 31, 1998. The increase resulted primarily from
the growth in certificate accounts and a modest increase in core deposits.
Stockholders' equity increased $934,000 is due to the combined effects of
increased net income and in the market valuation, net of taxes, of available for
sale securities partially offset by the repurchase of shares of common stock and
dividends paid.
COMPARISON OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED
MARCH 31, 1998 AND 1997
Net Income.
Net income was $684,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 as compared to
$653,000 for the same period in 1997 while net income for the six months ended
March 31, 1998 was $1.4 million as compared to $1.3 million for the same period
in 1997. The $31,000 or 4.7% increase in net income for the three months ended
March 31, 1998 was primarily due to a $549,000 increase in net interest income
and a $56,000 increase in other income offset by a $574,000 increase in
operating expenses. The $88,000 or 6.9% increase in net income for the six
months ended March 31, 1998 was primarily due to a $1.1 million increase in net
interest income and a $113,000 increase in other income partially offset by a
$1.1 million increase in operating expenses partially and a $35,000 increase in
the provision for loan losses.

Net Interest Income.
Net interest income increased $549,000 or 22.4% to $3.0 million and $1.1 million
or 22.9% to $5.9 million for the three and six months ended March 31, 1998,
respectively. Such increases were primarily due to a $1.3 million or 24.4% and a
$2.8 million or 25.9% increase in interest income for the three and six months
ended March 31, 1998, respectively, which were partially offset by a $792,000 or
26.0% and a $1.7 million or 28.3% increase in interest expense during such
respective periods. The interest rate spread and net interest margin amounted to
2.80% and 3.27% for the three months ended March 31, 1998 as compared to 3.13%
and 3.34% for the same period in 1997. The interest rate spread and net interest
margin were 2.89% and 3.31% for the six months ended March 31, 1998 as compared
to 3.15% and 3.37% for the same periods in 1997.
The $1.3 million increase in interest income was primarily due to a $73.6
million or 25.1% increase in average interest-earning assets for the three
months ended March 31, 1998 as compared to the same period in 1997 offset
slightly by a 4 basis points decline in yield to 7.45% during the three months
ended March 31, 1998 as compared to 7.49% for the same period in 1997. The
$792,000 increase in interest expense was primarily due to an increase of $50.7
million or 18.1% in average interest-bearing liabilities and a 30 basis point
increase in the weighted average rate paid thereon for the three months ended
March 31, 1998 as compared to the same period in 1997. For the six months ended,
March 31, 1998, a $2.8 million increase in interest income was primarily due to
a $72.1 million or 25.1% increase in average interest-earning assets for the six
months ended March 31, 1998 as compared to the same period in 1997. The weighted
average yield earned increased 5 basis points to 7.58% during the three months
ended March 31, 1998 as compared to 7.53% for the same period in 1997. The $1.7
million increase in interest expense was primarily due to an increase of $54.1
million or 19.8% in average interest-bearing liabilities and a 31 basis point
increase in the weighted average rate paid thereon for the six months ended
March 31, 1998 as compared to the same period in 1997.
The increase in the average balances of both interest-earning assets and
interest-bearing liabilities was due to the leveraging of a portion of the $16.2
million received in connection with the issuance of trust preferred securities
in the last quarter of fiscal 1997. The decrease in the net interest rate spread
was due to the leveraging of assets while the smaller decline in the net
interest margin was primarily due to higher funding costs.
Provision for Loan Losses.
The Company's provision for loan losses increased to $76,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 1998 as compared to $60,000 for the same period in 1997.
For the six months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997 the provision for loan losses
was $151,000 and $116,000, respectively. The increases were due to increases in
the size of the loan portfolio.
Other Income.
Other income increased $56,000 or 15.9% to $408,000 and $113,000 or 16.9% to
$782,000 for the three and six months ended March 31, 1998, respectively, as
compared to the same periods in 1997. The increases during the periods were
primarily a result of increases in the net gain on sales of loans offset by a
slight decrease in service charges and other fees.

<PAGE> 14
Operating Expenses.
Operating expenses increased $574,000 or 34.1% during the three months ended
March 31, 1998 as compared to the same period in 1997 primarily due to the
issuance of $16.2 million of trust preferred securities in August 1997.
Increases of $138,000, $48,000 and $39,000 were incurred in the salaries and
employee benefits, occupancy and equipment, and other expenses, respectively,
partially offset by reductions in professional fees and advertising expenses.
The expense related to the payment of semi-annual cash distributions on the
trust preferred securities amounted to $393,000 during the quarter. Included in
the increased operating expenses were general expenses of $43,000 related to the
opening of a new branch office during the first quarter of fiscal 1998. For the
six months ended, March 31, 1998, operating expenses increased $1.1 million or
32.5% primarily due to an expense of $786,000 for the same reason set forth
above relating to cash distributions on the trust preferred securities.
Increases of $247,000, $70,000 and $62,000 were incurred in compensation and
employee benefits, occupancy and equipment expenses and other expenses,
respectively, partially offset by reductions of $48,000 and $62,000 in
professional fees and federal deposit insurance premiums.
Income Tax Expense.
Income tax expense decreased $16,000 to $394,000 and increased $18,000 to
$812,000 during the three and six months ended March 31, 1998, respectively, as
compared to the same periods in 1997. The decrease for the second quarter in
fiscal 1998 resulted from a decrease of $63,000 in state income tax expense
reflecting the Company's implementation of various tax strategies offset, in
part, by increases in income before income taxes.
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 to satisfy
its funding commitments. At March 31, 1998, the Company had short-term
outstanding borrowings consisting of $24.7 million in advances from the FHLB of
Pittsburgh and $5.3 million in short-term securities sold under agreements to
repurchase.
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
12

commitments and maintain a portfolio of mortgage-related and investment
securities. At March 31, 1998, total approved loan commitments outstanding
amounted to $6.5 million, not including loans in process. At the same date,
commitments under unused lines of credit amounted to $7.4 million. Certificates
of deposit scheduled to mature in one year or less at March 31, 1998 totalled
$93.1 million. Based upon its historical experience, management believes that a
significant portion of maturing deposits will remain with the Company.
First Keystone Federal Savings Bank (the "Bank"), the Company's wholly owned
subsidiary, 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 4% 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 Bank's average monthly liquidity ratio and
short-term liquid assets for March 1998 was 5.2% and 4.0%, respectively.
As of March 31, 1998, the Bank had regulatory capital in excess of applicable
limits. The Bank 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 March 31, 1998, the Bank had
tangible capital and core capital equal to 8.5% of adjusted total assets and
total capital equal to 20.8% of risk-weighted assets.
Year 2000 Compliance
The Bank has formed an internal committee which has performed and prioritized an
inventory of the hardware and software systems with respect to their
compatibility with calendar year 2000 and has formulated a plan of action.
However, the Bank is dependent on numerous vendors and third parties who may
incur disruptions as a result of Year 2000 issues. Although, the Bank has
committed a significant level of resources to ensure the success of this effort,
it is not expected that the related costs will have a material effect on the
Company's financial condition and operation.
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.
