                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


NOTE 1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The unaudited  consolidated  financial  statements include the accounts of First
Shenango Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company"), First Federal Savings Bank of New Castle
(the  "Savings  Bank")  and  Tri-State  Service  Corporation.   All  significant
intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The accompanying  unaudited  condensed  consolidated  financial  statements were
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial  information  and with  instructions  for Form 10-Q and  Article 10 of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all information and disclosures
required by generally  accepted  accounting  principles  for complete  financial
statements.  However, all normal recurring  adjustments have been made which, in
the  opinion  of  management,  are  necessary  to the fair  presentation  of the
financial statements.

The  results of  operations  for the three  months  ended March 31, 1998 are not
necessarily  indicative of the results which may be expected for the year ending
December 31, 1998.

The  Consolidated  Statement  of Financial  Position at December  31, 1997,  was
audited by Ernst & Young LLP. Their  unqualified  opinion thereon is included in
the Company's 1997 Annual Report to Shareholders.

The  presentation  of financial  statements  in  conformity  with GAAP  requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in
the financial  statements and  accompanying  notes.  Actual results could differ
from  these  estimates.  Most  significantly,  the  Company  uses  estimates  in
determining the allowance for loan losses.

Certain items  previously  reported have been  reclassified  to conform with the
current period's reporting format.

NOTE 2.  EARNINGS PER SHARE

Earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996 were
calculated as follows:

</TABLE>


The amortized  cost and estimated  fair value of investment  securities at March
31,  1998 by  contractual  maturity  are shown in the  following  table.  Actual
maturities may differ from contractual  maturities  because issuers may have the
right  to  call  or  prepay  obligations  with or  without  call  or  prepayment
penalties.  For purposes of the maturity table,  mortgage-backed  securities and
CMOs,  which are not due at a single  maturity  date,  have been  allocated over
maturity  groupings  based on the  weighted-average  contractual  maturities  of
underlying  collateral.  The  mortgage-backed  securities  and CMOs  may  mature
earlier than their weighted-average  contractual maturities because of principal
prepayments.

The  estimated  fair value of education  loans held for sale  approximates  book
value at March 31, 1998 and December 31, 1997.

The Company held two loans with a combined balance of $2.75 million at March 31,
1998 and $2.77  million at  December  31, 1997 which were  considered  impaired.
Because the market  value of the  collateral  securing  these loans  exceeds the
loans' recorded balance, no specific loss reserve is deemed necessary;  however,
the loans have been  included  in  management's  assessment  of the  adequacy of
general valuation allowances. One of these loans with a balance of $1.11 million
was placed on non-accrual  status during the fourth quarter of 1997. No interest
income has been recorded on this loan during 1998. The other loan with a balance
of $1.64  million at March 31, 1998 has not been placed on  non-accrual  status,
nor does management expect it to be in the foreseeable  future.  Interest income
of $33,078 has been recorded on this loan during 1998. There were no other loans
considered impaired during the three months ended March 31, 1998.

Loans  which  the  Company  considers  non-performing  due to  being  placed  on
non-accrual  status as a result of being in arrears  three months or more are as
follows:

The foregone  interest on  non-performing  loans for the periods ended March 31,
1998 and December 31, 1997 was $61,062 and $148,651, respectively.

At March 31, 1998 the Company was committed under various agreements to purchase
first  mortgage  loans  of  $1,370,728;   originate   first  mortgage  loans  of
$3,440,755;  originate or disburse  commercial  loans of  $4,899,554;  originate
consumer  loans of $213,000;  and had $2,478,247 in unused  commercial  lines of
credit;  $1,180,478 in commercial letters of credit issued; $6,314,341 in unused
home equity lines of credit;  $2,038,605 in unused  personal  unsecured lines of
credit;  and $622,673 in unused credit card lines.  There were no commitments to
lend   additional   funds  to  debtors   whose  loans  with  the  Company   were
non-performing as of March 31, 1998.


NOTE 5.  DEFINITIVE MERGER AGREEMENT

On February 6, 1998, the Company  entered into an Agreement of  Affiliation  and
Plan of Merger (the  "Agreement")  with  FirstFederal  Financial  Services  Corp
("FFSW") of Wooster,  Ohio.  Under the terms of the Agreement,  the Company will
merge with and into  FFSW,  with the  Company's  shareholders  to receive  1.143
shares  of FFSW  common  stock  in  exchange  for each of  their  shares  of the
Company's  common  stock.  FFSW is a bank  holding  company with total assets of
$1.46 billion at December 31, 1997. The transaction, which will be accounted for
as a pooling of interests,  is subject to regulatory and  shareholder  approvals
and is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 1998.

Management's  Discussion  and  Analysis of Results of  Operations  for the Three
Months Ended March 31, 1998 and 1997.

Net income for the three months ended March 31, 1998 declined $248,000 or 21.82%
from the same quarter in 1997. The primary reasons for this decline are $165,000
in  professional  service  fees  related to the  Company's  pending  merger with
FirstFederal  Financial  Services  Corp which was announced on February 9, 1998,
the  continued  run-off of the  indirect  automobile  loan  portfolio  which was
partially  offset by growth in mortgage  loans,  and lower income related to the
investment  securities  portfolio  which  was also  partially  offset  by higher
interest  earnings  on  overnight  deposits  at the  Federal  Home  Loan Bank of
Pittsburgh.  Excluding the merger-related  expenses,  net income for the quarter
would have been $1.02 million.

Provisions  for loan losses  decreased  $30,000 to $155,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 1998 from  $185,000 for same period in 1997.  The  provision was
established as a result of management's  monitoring of non-performing  loans and
assets and other potential  problem  credits.  Non-accrual  loans and loans more
than 90 days past due totalled $2.74 million, and other  non-performing  assets,
namely REO and other repossessed  assets,  were $1.15 million at March 31, 1998,
for a total of $3.89 million in non-performing  assets,  unchanged from December
31, 1997.  Interest received in cash of $15,000 on non-accrual loans is included
in net  income  for the 1998  first  quarter.  Total  allowance  for losses as a
percentage of gross loans receivable, REO and other repossessed assets was 1.26%
at March 31, 1998 and 1.24% at December 31, 1997. Total non-performing assets as
a  percentage  of total assets was 0.97% at March 31, 1998 and 1.04% at December
31, 1997.

Total non-interest  income decreased $13,000, or 6.30%, in 1998 primarily due to
$16,000 in late charges  received on a commercial  loan in the first  quarter of
1997. Other non-interest income did not change significantly from year to year.

Total non-interest expense increased $260,000,  or 17.77%,  primarily due to the
$165,000 in merger  related fees mentioned  above.  These payments to attorneys,
accountants and investment  bankers will continue to reduce earnings through the
effective date of the

                                        10

merger.  Salaries and employee benefits  increased $93,000 from year to year due
to annual merit salary increases,  increased staffing in certain departments and
higher costs  associated  with the employee stock  ownership plan as a result of
the Company's  higher stock price. REO expense declined $17,000 or 51.33% due to
a reduction in losses on the sale of repossessed automobiles. Other non-interest
expense increased $27,000 or 8.72%. This line item represents an accumulation of
several expense categories, none of which increased significantly.

The  Company's  effective  tax rate  increased  from 34.80% for the three months
ending  March 31, 1997 to 35.94% for the same period in 1998.  This is primarily
due to the  professional  service fees  discussed  above,  some of which are not
deductible for federal income tax purposes.

The Company's  efficiency ratio declined from 43.15% at March 31, 1997 to 52.89%
at March 31, 1998,  while the ratio of  non-interest  expenses to average assets
increased  from 1.47% to 1.81%.  These  changes  are  attributable  to the items
discussed above.

Asset and Liability Management

During the quarter ended March 31, 1998,  the Company  borrowed  $50.00  million
from and repaid  $26.00  million to the  Federal  Home Loan Bank of  Pittsburgh.
These transactions have increased the interest-rate sensitivity of the Company's
assets and reduced the interest-rate  sensitivity of its liabilities.  Overnight
deposits at the FHLB  increased  $10.14 million from December 31, 1997 to $23.72
million  at March 31,  1998.  Management  is  continually  reviewing  investment
opportunities for these funds.  Given the increasing  possibility of an increase
in the target  federal funds rate as evidenced by recent  movements in financial
markets,  these funds will be invested  into  longer term  securities  only when
management is satisfied that the yields offered are sufficient to compensate for
the risk of further increases in market interest rates.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Savings  Bank is required to  maintain  minimum  levels of liquid  assets as
defined by Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS")  regulations.  This requirement,
which may be varied from time to time  depending  upon economic  conditions  and
deposit flows, is based upon a percentage of deposits and short-term borrowings.
The  required  minimum  ratio is  currently  4%. The Savings  Bank's  regulatory
liquidity ratio averaged 9.58% during the three months ended March 31, 1998. The
Savings Bank manages its liquidity  ratio to meet its funding  needs,  including
deposit outflows,  disbursements of payments  collected from borrowers for taxes
and  insurance,  and loan  principal  disbursements  and to meet its  asset  and
liability management objectives.

In addition to funds provided from operations, the Saving Bank's primary sources
of funds  are  savings  deposits  and  borrowings  from the FHLB of  Pittsburgh.
Principal  repayments on loans and  mortgage-backed  securities,  and matured or
called investment securities also provide cash inflows.

Scheduled  loan  repayments  and maturing  investment  securities are relatively
predictable sources of funds. However,  savings deposit flows and prepayments on
loans and mortgage-backed  securities are significantly influenced by changes in
market interest rates,  economic conditions,  and competition.  The Savings Bank
strives to manage the pricing of its  deposits to maintain a balanced  stream of
cash flows commensurate with its loan commitments and other predictable  funding
needs.

The Savings Bank invests its excess funds in an overnight  deposit  account with
the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh.  This provides sufficient liquidity to
meet immediate loan commitment and savings withdrawal funding requirements. When
applicable,  cash  in  excess  of  immediate  funding  needs  is  invested  into
longer-term  investments and  mortgage-backed  securities which typically earn a
higher yield than overnight deposits.  These types of investments may qualify as
liquid investments under OTS regulations.

The Savings Bank  anticipates  that it will have  sufficient  funds available to
meet its current loan commitments and normal savings  withdrawals.  At March 31,
1998,  the Savings Bank had  outstanding  commitments  to fund off balance sheet
items of $22.56 million.  In addition,  it had certificates of deposit scheduled
to mature  within  six  months of $60.00  million,  substantially  most of which
management  believes  will remain with the Savings  Bank. In the event that loan
demand and deposit  outflows exceed available funds, the Savings Bank may borrow
from the FHLB or sell securities from its available for sale portfolio.

The Company,  which  includes the Savings Bank,  from time to time is a party to
ordinary routine litigation, which arises in the normal course of business, such
as claims to enforce liens,  condemnation proceedings on properties in which the
Company or Savings Bank holds security  interests,  claims  involving the making
and servicing of real property  loans and other issues  incident to the business
of

                                       11

<PAGE>



the Company or Savings Bank.  In the opinion of  management,  the  resolution of
these  lawsuits  would  not have a  material  adverse  affect  on the  financial
position or results of operations of the Company or Savings Bank.

The  Company's  Y2K  Committee  continues to work on  identifying  and resolving
potential  problems  related  to the year 2000 and its  impact on the  Company's
computer  systems,  its vendors and customers.  Management is also  coordinating
these efforts with those of  FirstFederal  Financial  Services Corp to eliminate
redundant  work and  evaluate  the  potential  efficiencies  to be  gained  from
adopting common solutions. The total cost to the Company will depend on the need
or desire for change in these systems, but is not expected to be material to any
single reporting period.

Management is not aware of any trends, events,  uncertainties or recommendations
by any regulatory  authority  that will have, or that are  reasonably  likely to
have, material effects on liquidity, capital resources or operations.

To be categorized as well  capitalized,  the Savings Bank must maintain  minimum
ratios  as set  forth  in the  table.  As of March  31,  1998,  the most  recent
notification from the Office of Thrift Supervision  categorized the Savings Bank
as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action.
There are no  conditions  or events  since  that  notification  that  management
believes have changed the institution's category.
