        The amount of funds expended by Financial Edge Fund to acquire the 304,841 shares of Common Stock it holds in its name was $2,945,400. Such funds were provided from Financial Edge Fund’s available capital and from time to time by margin provided by Banc of America Securities Corp. (“Banc of America”) on such firm’s usual terms and conditions.

        The amount of funds expended by Financial Edge Strategic to acquire the 150,479 shares of Common Stock it holds in its name was $1,455,453. Such funds were provided from Financial Edge Strategic’s available capital and from time to time by margin provided by Banc of America on such firm’s usual terms and conditions.

        The amount of funds expended by the Doris Lashley Testamentary Trust to acquire the 5,000 shares of Common Stock it holds in its name is $46,282. Such funds were provided from the Trust’s available funds.

        Any purchases of Common Stock made by members of the PL Capital Group using funds borrowed from Banc of America, if any, were made in margin transactions on that firm’s usual terms and conditions. All or part of the shares of Common Stock owned by members of the PL Capital Group may from time to time be pledged with one or more banking institutions or brokerage firms as collateral for loans made by such entities to members of the PL Capital Group. Such loans, if any, generally bear interest at a rate based upon the federal funds rate plus a margin. Such indebtedness, if any, may be refinanced with other banks or broker-dealers. As of the date of this filing, no member of the PL Capital Group has margin or other loans outstanding secured by Common Stock.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

        The PL Capital Group owns 650,811 shares or 9.2% of the Company, based upon the Company’s aggregate outstanding 7,088,500 shares. Alliance Mutual Holding Company (“MHC”) is the Company’s parent mutual holding company, and the Company is the stock holding company of Alliance Bank. MHC reported in a Schedule 13D filed on January 30, 2007 that it directly and beneficially owns 3,973,750 shares of Common Stock, or 56% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. Excluding the shares of Common Stock held by MHC, PL Capital Group owns 20.9% of the remaining 3,114,750 outstanding shares of Common Stock. PL Capital Group’s intent is to influence the policies of the Company and assert PL Capital’s shareholder’s rights, with a goal of maximizing the long term value of the Common Stock.

        On October 16, 2007, Messrs. Lashley and Palmer met with the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Dennis Cirucci, and the Company’s Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Peter Meier, at the Company’s headquarters to discuss various matters, including the need for management of the Company to improve financial performance, enhance shareholder value and design compensation and benefit plans that are tied to Company financial performance and shareholder value metrics. A copy of the presentation provided to Messrs. Cirucci and Meier is attached to Amendment No. 2 as Exhibit 2.

        On April 25, 2008, Mr. Lashley sent a letter to the Company urging the Company to meet with him as a member of the PL Capital Group to discuss the PL Capital Group’s concerns respecting the Company’s performance and steps that can be taken to improve its performance. A copy of the letter is attached to this Amended Schedule 13D as Exhibit 3.

        Members of the PL Capital Group may make further purchases of shares of Common Stock, although the PL Capital Group has no present intention of increasing PL Capital Group’s aggregate holdings above 9.99% of the Company’s aggregate outstanding Common Stock.

EXHIBIT 3

April 25, 2008

Mr. William Hecht
Chairman of the Board
Alliance Bancorp, Inc. of Pennsylvania
541 Lawrence Road
Broomall, PA 19008-3599

Dear Mr. Hecht:

I am disappointed that the board of directors of Alliance has rejected my request for a meeting because it does not believe a meeting is “necessary” or “productive.”

As you know, I attended Alliance’s Annual Meeting on Wednesday the 23rd. Before the meeting began I met with you and Dennis Cirucci. I proposed that it would be more productive and appropriate for me to raise PL Capital’s concerns, comments and questions in a meeting with the full board of directors, rather than at the Annual Meeting. Both of you agreed that it would not be productive to go through PL Capital’s issues at the Annual Meeting. I informed both you and Dennis that I was going to defer my comments at the Annual Meeting in good faith and reliance that if you and Dennis (the Chairman and CEO of the Company) were not opposed to such a meeting, the full board would agree to it. Neither of you objected to that conclusion.

During the Annual Meeting I asked one question about future goals and when shareholders would likely see improved results. I deferred the long list of questions, comments and concerns that I could have raised, as promised.

Given that as a prelude, I was surprised to read your email dated April 24, in which you noted that the board does not feel such a meeting is “necessary” or would be “productive,” without providing any rationale for that conclusion. Given Alliance’s track record, one would think that the board would want to meet with its largest shareholder to better understand our concerns and have a chance to address them.

A meeting is clearly necessary for the board to understand and address the numerous issues and suggestions facing Alliance, including those contained in our October 16, 2007 presentation. In that presentation we laid out a significant number of issues and concerns, each of which are worthy of discussion, investigation and follow up. In that presentation we noted the following major observations, among other things:

  Alliance stock has declined for the past one, three, five and ten years (measured on both a total return as well as in price).


  Alliance’s board approved the decision to sell stock in 2006. That offering was a mistake that destroyed a significant amount of shareholder value.

  Alternative transactions such as a full second step, a remutualization, or doing nothing, would have been preferable. (With regard to a remutualization, it is our understanding that in 2004 Alliance passed on the opportunity to potentially merge Alliance with Beneficial Mutual Savings Bank at a significant premium for Alliance’s shareholders — the merger consideration was apparently over $40.00 per share on a pre-secondary offering basis.)

The items above reflect serious concerns about the board’s and management’s tenure at Alliance for the past ten years. In the vast majority of public companies, the board and senior management responsible for such results would have already been replaced (the board would have replaced senior management and the shareholders would have voted out the directors). To simply ignore the reality of how poorly Alliance has performed year after year is a failure of corporate governance on the part of the board.

The board should be doing everything possible to understand why this has happened, and to adopt policies to remedy these results, including meeting with PL Capital or anyone else with credible concerns and more importantly, suggestions on how to recover from the past missteps. In that regard, in our presentation we suggested a number of strategies for Alliance to consider and implement in order to restore and enhance shareholder value. As we sit here six months after that presentation was delivered to the board, we have no idea whether the board rejected or agreed with our suggestions or concerns. We also have no evidence that the board has instructed management to implement any of our suggestions.

In fact, we have reason to believe that one of the most important suggestions we made was never even investigated, no less implemented (see page 19 of the presentation, regarding the opportunity to use the approximately $8 million held at the MHC to create value for Alliance, Alliance’s shareholders and depositors). This is an unusual and complicated issue. Based upon follow up conversations with management, it appears that nothing has been done to investigate this issue. Has the board focused on this important issue? Did management investigate this issue and report back to the board? If yes, what are the pros and cons of using this MHC capital more creatively? Did the board notice that one of its peers, Prudential Bancorp, recently utilized MHC capital to buy back stock? We want an opportunity to discuss this and other important issues with the board and we see no reason why the board would not want to do so as well. What is unnecessary or unproductive about a discussion of ways to improve the performance of Alliance and create shareholder value? What is the board’s role if not that? Frankly, we are perplexed as to why the board did not invite us to a meeting to discuss these issues in October or November. It appears that the board is simply ignoring the issues we raised, which may be a breach of its fiduciary duties to shareholders and a failure of leadership and accountability.

In our October 16, 2007 presentation we also asked that Alliance adopt and design compensation and benefit plans that are aligned with shareholders interests. Compensation and benefit plans are the prerogative of the compensation committee and the board, not management. Suggesting that we should meet with management instead of the board, as you did in your April 24th email, is inappropriate.


The board should also be keenly interested in PL Capital’s views on compensation and benefit plans, because as you know, PL Capital was prepared to run a proxy contest to defeat Alliance’s stock benefit plans, if such plans were put on the 2008 Annual Meeting ballot. Presumably in response to our efforts, Alliance did not put the stock benefit plans up for a shareholder vote this year. We are perplexed why the board would not want to hear first hand from PL Capital as to why we took such an extraordinary position and what actions Alliance might take to convince us to support the stock benefit plans in the future. Doesn’t the board want a chance to understand our position, or challenge us, on this issue? Does the board plan to ignore the issues we have raised regarding the benefit plans and performance, which will force us to run a proxy contest next year, and the year after and beyond? Wouldn’t it be more productive to simply talk to us? Does the board believe our issues have no merit? If so, tell us face to face why we are wrong or misinformed. We are very capable of defending our views, and also more than willing to admit when we are wrong on an issue. We wonder why the board does not have the same capacity and willingness.

Our issues are about Alliance’s performance and shareholder value, a responsibility that rests with board members as well as management. This is particularly relevant for you. As the former CEO and current Chairman, you should feel personally responsible for, and uniquely capable of addressing, our concerns as well as articulating the board’s vision for Alliance.

Given the lackluster results produced by Alliance and the numerous issues and challenges facing Alliance, we completely disagree with the board’s decision and request that the board reconsider. The board should remember that its primary responsibility is to represent shareholders, who own Alliance. To refuse to meet for an hour or two with Alliance’s largest shareholder, to discuss matters of critical importance to Alliance and its shareholders, is inappropriate. The board should welcome such an opportunity, not reject it. I look forward to hearing from you soon so that we may work this out.

Please ensure that each member of the board receives a copy of this letter. I have enclosed extra copies of this letter for that purpose.

Sincerely,

/s/ Richard Lashley
Richard Lashley
