BUSINESS GENERAL PRESTIGE BANCORP, INC. Prestige Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") was organized as a corporation under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in March 1996 at the direction of the Board of Directors of Prestige Bank, a Federal Savings Bank (the "Savings Bank") for the purpose of acquiring all of the capital stock to be issued by the Savings Bank in a conversion under and pursuant to the applicable rules and regulations of the Office of Thrift Supervision, Department of the U.S. Treasury (the "OTS") of the charter of the Savings Bank from a federal mutual chartered savings association to a federal stock chartered savings association (the "Conversion"). The Company has received the approval of the OTS to be a savings and loan holding company. The Company currently conducts business as a unitary savings and loan holding company. As of December 31, 1999, the Company holds the shares of the Savings Bank's common stock acquired in the Conversion, a loan receivable from the Prestige Bancorp Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the "ESOP"), an officer loan totaling $236,000, debt and equity investments of $1.1 million, and deposits maintained at the Savings Bank. The Company has borrowed $150,000 from the Savings Bank to support cash levels. The loan is adequately secured in accordance with applicable law. The Company is engaged principally in community banking activities through its savings association subsidiary. At December 31, 1999, the Company had total consolidated assets of $200.6 million, total consolidated deposits of $120.5 million, total consolidated liabilities (including deposits) of $185.6 million and total consolidated equity of $15.0 million. The Company neither owns nor leases any property, but instead uses the premises, equipment and furniture of the Savings Bank. The Company does not employ any persons other than officers who are also officers of the Savings Bank. The Company utilizes the support staff of the Savings Bank from time to time. The profitability of the Company is highly dependent on the profitability of the Savings Bank. The Company's executive office is located at the home office of the Savings Bank at 710 Old Clairton Road, Pleasant Hills, Pennsylvania 15236, and its telephone number is (412) 655-1190. PRESTIGE BANK, A FEDERAL SAVINGS BANK The Savings Bank is a federally chartered savings bank that was organized under the laws of the United States in 1935. The deposits of the Savings Bank are insured by the Savings Association Insurance Fund (the "SAIF") administered by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC"). The Savings Bank conducts business from its executive offices located in Pleasant Hills, Pennsylvania and 5 full-service offices located in Allegheny and Washington Counties, Pennsylvania. At December 31, 1999, the Savings Bank had total assets of $199.2 million, total deposits of $120.5 million, total liabilities (including deposits) of $185.6 million and total equity of $13.6 million. The Savings Bank's lending operations follow the traditional pattern of a savings association by primarily emphasizing the origination of one-to-four family residential loans for portfolio retention. However, since 1996, the Savings Bank has begun to expand its loan products by promoting other types of lending in order to meet its customer demands. These include commercial loans, commercial real estate loans, construction loans, and consumer loans, including home equity or home improvement loans, automobile loans, student loans, credit card loans, cash collateral personal loans and unsecured personal loans. The loan portfolio contains no loans to foreign governments, foreign enterprises or foreign operations of domestic companies. Deposit services offered by the Savings Bank include passbook savings accounts, tiered money market savings accounts, NOW accounts, non-interest bearing checking accounts and certificates of deposit with a minimum maturity of 6 months and a maximum maturity of 5 years. The Savings Bank does not utilize the services of deposit brokers. The gross earnings of the Company on a consolidated basis for the fiscal year ending December 31, 1999, by loan category and investment securities are shown on page 15 of the 1999 Annual Report to Shareholders. The gross interest expense of the Company on a consolidated basis for the fiscal year ending December 31, 1999 is 2 3 shown on page 6 of the 1999 Annual Report to Shareholders. The amounts of the various deposit products of the Company (through its sole subsidiary, the Savings Bank) by category for the fiscal year ending December 31, 1999 is shown on pages 39, 40 and 41 of the 1999 Annual Report to Shareholders. The Company's and the Savings Bank's profitability is highly dependent on its net interest income which is the difference between income earned on interest-earning assets less interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities. The Company and Savings Bank are subject to interest rate risk and attempts to minimize that risk by better matching asset and liability maturities and rates. The business of each of the Company and the Savings Bank is influenced by prevailing economic conditions and governmental policies, both foreign and domestic. The actions and policy directive of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "Federal Reserve Board") determine to a significant degree the cost and the availability of funds obtained from money market sources for lending and investing. The Federal Reserve Board's policies and regulations also influence, directly and indirectly, the rates of interest paid by thrift institutions on their time and savings deposits. The nature and impact on the Company and the Savings Bank of future changes in economic conditions and monetary and fiscal policies, both foreign and domestic, are not predictable. The Savings Bank operates six automated teller machines ("ATMs"), one at each of the branch offices and one off-site ATM at a local convenience store. The Savings Bank is affiliated with a regional ATM network. As of December 31, 1999, the Savings Bank had a staff of 58 employees that consisted of 45 full-time and 13 part-time employees. Full-time equivalent employees averaged 51 in 1999. The Savings Bank's principal executive offices are located at 710 Old Clairton Road, Pleasant Hills, Pennsylvania 15236 and its telephone number is (412) 655-1190. COMPETITION The Savings Bank's market area is primarily located in the southern portion of the Pittsburgh metropolitan area. The largest employers in the Pittsburgh area include the U.S. Government, the Pennsylvania State Government, USAir Group, Inc., the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, the University of Pittsburgh, PNC Bank Corp. and Mellon Bank Corp. With the contraction of the steel industry in the Pittsburgh area over the last 25 years, the number of manufacturing jobs in the Pittsburgh area has declined as well as the overall population for the Pittsburgh area. The Savings Bank's business and operating results are affected significantly by the general economic conditions prevalent in its primary market area including population levels. The Savings Bank experiences significant competition in its local market area in both originating loans and attracting deposits. Its most direct competition comes from commercial banks, other thrift institutions and mortgage banking companies. Many of these institutions maintain a state-wide or regional presence and, in some cases, a national presence. Technological innovations have also led to greater competition as well. With the advent of automated transfer payment systems, competition between depository and nondepository institutions has increased. These changes have led to even greater competition among commercial banks, thrift institutions, credit unions, brokerage firms, money market mutual funds, mutual bond funds, finance and insurance companies, mortgage banking firms and retail establishments. Federal legislation in recent years has eliminated many of the distinctions between commercial banks and thrift institutions and holding companies and allowed bank holding companies to acquire thrift institutions. Such legislation has generally resulted in an increase in the competition encountered by thrift institutions and has resulted in a decrease in both the number of thrift institutions and the aggregate size of the thrift industry. Commercial banks and thrift institutions have recently experienced increasing consolidation. In the event of a downturn in the economy or competitive pressures resulting from increasing consolidation, the Savings Bank may experience reduced demand for mortgage loans. Interstate branch banking is now permitted under Federal law subject to certain restrictions. Such interstate branch banking will result in increased competition for deposits. The Savings Bank may have difficulty attracting deposits in an environment of economic downturn, increased consolidation or interstate branch banking. To date, the Savings Bank has not experienced increased competition from an out-of-state financial institution that has established a new branch in the Greater Pittsburgh 3 4 area. Management of the Savings Bank and the Company cannot predict if out-of-state financial institutions will choose to open new branches in the primary market of the Savings Bank. YEAR 2000 ISSUES The Year 2000 problem arises from the fact that many existing information technology ("IT") hardware and software systems and non-information technology ("non-IT") products containing embedded microchip processors were originally programmed to represent any date with six digits (e.g., 12/31/99), as opposed to eight digits (e.g., 12/31/1999). Accordingly, problems may arise for many such products and systems when attempting to process information containing dates that fall after December 31, 1999. This problem is commonly referred to as the "Year 2000" problems, and the acronym "Y2K" is commonly substituted for the phrase "Year 2000." The Company and the Savings Bank began a process in 1997 that assigned an individual to begin investigating the Y2K issues. It was determined that the Savings Bank relies on external processing vendors for all of its mission critical core application processing and that its approach would be based on the five-phase approach recommended by the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council ("FFIEC"). The Board of Directors and senior management were apprised of the Year 2000 issues. In 1997, a Y2K team was formed consisting of the President, Chief Financial Officer, two employees of the Savings Bank and a member of the Board of Directors. The initial focus of the team was to identify all issues that may be affected by the date problem. This included computer hardware and software, third party processing vendors, environmental factors (i.e., vaults, security systems, etc.), and miscellaneous items such as preprinted forms, checkwriters, date stamps, etc. The issues were then categorized as to their potential impact on the ability of the Savings Bank to service its customers and ensure business continuity for its shareholders, customers and employees. Communication was initiated with all of the Savings Bank's vendors; for some vendors (i.e., PC and network vendors) Year 2000 information was available via the Internet. Due to Company's Y2K preparation, the Company did not experience any significant Y2K problems. Although the Company is unable at this time to assess any future impact of any other dates which might cause Y2K failures, management does not believe at the current time that the cost of remediating these Y2K problems will have a material adverse impact upon its business, results of operations, liquidity or financial condition. The Company's costs associated with Year 2000 included replacement of non-compliant computer, telephone, software, and related equipment. Excluding costs of Company's personnel time, the Company estimated that the total Year 2000 project costs would not exceed $131,000 (pre-tax). As of December 31, 1999, the Company estimated that it had incurred $116,000 in connection with its Y2K project plan. Most of these costs related to equipment acquisitions and accordingly such costs have been capitalized. SUPERVISION AND REGULATION PRESTIGE BANCORP. INC. General. The Company, as a savings and loan holding company within the meaning of Home Owners' Loan Act of 1933, as amended ("HOLA"), has registered with the OTS and will be subject to OTS regulations, examinations, supervision and reporting requirements. In addition, if the Company acquired any non-savings institution subsidiaries, the OTS will have enforcement authority over such subsidiaries. As a subsidiary of a savings and loan holding company, the Savings Bank will be subject to certain restrictions in its dealings with the Company and any other affiliates thereof. This regulatory authority granted to the OTS is intended primarily for the protection of the depositors of the Savings Bank and not for the benefit of the stockholders of the Company. Federal Activities Restrictions. There are few restrictions on the activities of a savings and loan holding company which holds only one subsidiary savings association so long as such savings association meets the "qualified thrift lender" test (the "QTL Test"). In the first instance no savings and loan holding company and no non-savings association subsidiary of a savings and loan holding company may engage in any activity or render any service for or on behalf of any savings association for the purpose, or with the effect of, evading any law or regulation applicable to the related savings association. In addition, if the Director of the OTS determines that there is reasonable cause to believe that the continuation by a savings and loan holding company of an activity 4 5 constitutes a serious risk to the financial safety, soundness or stability of its subsidiary savings association, the Director may impose such restrictions as deemed necessary to address such risk, including limiting (i) payment of dividends by the savings association; (ii) transactions between the savings association and its affiliates; and (iii) any activities of the savings association that might create a serious risk that the liabilities of the holding company and its affiliates may be imposed on the savings association. Notwithstanding the above rules as to permissible business activities of unitary savings and loan holding companies, under OTS regulations, any savings and loan holding company is required to register as a bank holding company within one year of the failure of the QTL Test by its subsidiary insured institution. Under such circumstances, the holding company would become subject to all of the provisions of the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended ("BHC Act"), and other statutes applicable to bank holding companies, in the same manner and to the same extent as if the company were a bank holding company. The Savings Bank currently satisfies the QTL Test. If the Company were to acquire control of another savings association, other than through merger or other business combination with the Savings Bank, the Company would thereupon become a multiple savings and loan holding company. Except where such acquisition is pursuant to the authority to approve emergency thrift acquisitions and where each subsidiary savings association meets the QTL Test, as set forth below, the activities of the Company and any of its subsidiaries (other than the Savings Bank or other subsidiary savings associations) would thereafter be subject to further restrictions. No multiple savings and loan holding company or subsidiary thereof which is not a savings association shall commence or continue for a limited period of time after becoming a multiple savings and loan holding company or subsidiary thereof any business activity, other than: (i) furnishing or performing management services for a subsidiary savings association; (ii) conducting an insurance agency or escrow business; (iii) holding, managing, or liquidating assets owned by or acquired from a subsidiary savings association; (iv) holding or managing properties used or occupied by a subsidiary savings association; (v) acting as trustee under deeds of trust; (vi) those activities authorized by regulation as of March 5, 1987 to be engaged in by multiple savings and loan holding companies; or (vii) unless the Director of the OTS by regulation prohibits or limits such activities for savings and loan holding companies, those activities authorized by the Federal Reserve Board as permissible for bank holding companies. The activities described in (i) through (vi) above may only be engaged in after giving the OTS prior notice and being informed that the OTS does not object to such activities. In addition, the activities described in (vii) above also must be approved by the Director of the OTS prior to being engaged in by a multiple savings and loan holding company. Limitations on Transactions with Affiliates. Transactions between savings associations and any affiliate are governed by Sections 23A and 23B of the Federal Reserve Act ("FRA"). An affiliate of a savings association is any company or entity that controls, is controlled by or is under common control with the savings association. In a holding company context, the parent holding company of a savings association (such as the Company) and any companies which are controlled by such parent holding company are affiliates of the savings association. Generally, Sections 23A and 23B (i) limit the extent to which the savings association or its subsidiaries may engage in "covered transactions" with any one affiliate to an amount equal to 10% of such association's capital stock and surplus, and contain an aggregate limit on all such transactions with all affiliates to an amount equal to 20% of such capital stock and surplus and (ii) require that all such transactions be on terms substantially the same, or at least as favorable, to the association or subsidiary as those provided to a non-affiliate. The term "covered transaction" includes the making of loans, purchase of assets, issuance of a guarantee and similar transactions. In addition to the restrictions imposed by Sections 23A and 23B, no savings association may (i) loan or otherwise extend credit to an affiliate, except for any affiliate which engages only in activities which are permissible for bank holding companies, or (ii) purchase or invest in any stocks, bonds, debentures, notes or similar obligations of any affiliate, except for affiliates which are subsidiaries of the savings association. In addition, Sections 22(h) and (g) of the FRA places restrictions on loans to executive officers, directors and principal stockholders. Under Section 22(h), loans to a director, an executive officer and to a greater than 10% stockholder of a savings institution (a "principal stockholder"), and certain affiliated interests of either, may not exceed, together with all other outstanding loans to such person and affiliated interests, the savings institution's loans to one borrower limit (generally equal to 15% of the institution's unimpaired capital and surplus). Section 22(h) also requires that loans to directors, executive officers and principal stockholders be made on terms substantially the same as offered in comparable transactions to other persons and also requires prior board 5 6 approval for certain loans. In addition, the aggregate amount of extensions of credit by a savings institution to all insiders cannot exceed the institution's unimpaired capital and surplus. Furthermore, Section 22(g) places additional restrictions on loans to executive officers. At December 31, 1999, the Savings Bank was in compliance with the above restrictions. Restrictions on Acquisitions. Except under limited circumstances, savings and loan holding companies are prohibited from acquiring, without prior approval of the Director of the OTS, (i) control of any other savings association or savings and loan holding company or substantially all the assets thereof or (ii) more than 5% of the voting shares of a savings association or holding company thereof which is not a subsidiary. Except with the prior approval of the Director of the OTS, no director or officer of a savings and loan holding company or person owning or controlling by proxy or otherwise more than 25% of such company's stock, may acquire control of any savings association, other than a subsidiary savings association, or of any other savings and loan holding company. Restrictions on Dividends from Subsidiary Savings Bank. Every subsidiary savings association must give the Director of the OTS not less than thirty days notice of the proposed declaration by the board of directors of such savings association of a dividend on the stock of such savings association held by its parent holding company. Thus, the Savings Bank must notify the OTS thirty days before declaring any dividend to the Company. Federal Securities Laws. The Company's Common Stock is registered with the SEC under the Exchange Act. The Company is subject to the information, proxy solicitation, insider trading restrictions and other requirements under the Exchange Act. Financial Modernization. On November 12, 1999, President Clinton signed into law the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act which, among other things, will, effective March 11, 2000, permit bank holding companies to become financial holding companies and thereby affiliate with securities firms and insurance companies and engage in other activities that are financial in nature. A bank holding company may become a financial holding company if each of its subsidiary banks is well capitalized under the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 prompt corrective action provisions, is well managed and has at least a satisfactory rating under the Community Reinvestment Act by filing a declaration that the bank holding company wishes to become a financial holding company. No regulatory approval will be required for a financial holding company to acquire a company, other than a bank or savings association, engaged in activities that are financial in nature or incidental to activities that are financial in nature, as determined by the Federal Reserve Board. The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (the "GLB Act") defines "financial in nature" to include securities underwriting, dealing and market making; sponsoring mutual funds and investment companies; insurance underwriting and agency; merchant banking activities; and activities that the Federal Reserve Board has determined to be closely related to banking. A qualifying national bank also may engage, subject to limitations on investment, in activities that are financial in nature, other than insurance underwriting, insurance company portfolio investment, real estate development, and real estate investment, through a financial subsidiary of the bank. Subsidiary banks of a financial holding company or national banks with financial subsidiaries must continue to be well capitalized and well managed in order to continue to engage in activities that are financial in nature without regulatory actions or restrictions, which could include divestiture of the financial in nature subsidiary or subsidiaries. In addition, a financial holding company or a bank may not acquire a company that is engaged in activities that are financial in nature unless each of the subsidiary banks of the financial holding company or the bank has a Community Reinvestment Act rating of satisfactory or better. Under current law, so-called "unitary savings and loan holding companies" (i.e., those that control only one savings association and have no other depository institution subsidiaries) are not generally subject to any restrictions on the non-banking activities in which they may engage (either directly or through a subsidiary). The GLB Act limits the nonbanking activities of unitary savings and loan holding companies by generally prohibiting any savings and loan holding company from engaging in any activity other than activities that (i) are currently permitted for multiple savings and loan holding companies or (ii) are permissible for financial holding companies (as described above) (collectively "permissible activities"). The GLB Act also generally prohibits any company from acquiring control of a savings association or savings and loan holding company unless the acquiring company engages solely in permissible activities. The GLB Act creates an exemption from the general 6 7 prohibitions for unitary savings and loan holding companies in existence, or formed pursuant to an application pending before the Office of Thrift Supervision, on or before May 4, 1999. As a grandfathered unitary thrift holding company, the Company will retain its authority to engage in nonfinancial activities. One significant change in the law which could indirectly affect the Company is a change in the ability to become a unitary savings and loan holding company. In general, the Company, as a unitary savings and loan holding company, may engage, through non-banking subsidiaries, in whatever activities it wants to engage in. The new law protects the existing rights of the Company to engage in a wide range of activities. However, there can be no new unitary savings and loan holding companies and existing companies cannot take advantage of the old law by acquiring a pre-existing unitary savings and loan holding company. This could adversely affect the market price of the stock of existing savings and loan holding companies because acquisitions of them could cause them to lose their broad powers to engage in non-banking activities. One aspect of the GLB Act that will impact the Company during the coming year is the portion that deals with the protection of consumer privacy. The privacy requirements of the GLB Act are to be enforced through regulations implemented by the various federal regulatory agencies, along with state insurance agencies and the Federal Trade Commission. The FDIC and OTS have already issued proposed regulations, and these regulations are to be formally adopted by May 13, 2000. These rules are scheduled to take effect on November 13, 2000. The Company has reviewed the proposed rules and does not believe compliance with these rules will have any material adverse effect on the current operations of the Savings Bank. PRESTIGE BANK, A FEDERAL SAVINGS BANK General. The Savings Bank is subject to examination and comprehensive regulation by the OTS that is the Savings Bank's chartering authority. The Savings Bank is also regulated by the FDIC, the administrator of the SAIF that provides insurance for the deposits of the Savings Bank. The Savings Bank is subject to certain reserve requirements established by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System ("FRB") and is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") of Pittsburgh, which is one of the 12 regional banks comprising the Federal Home Loan Bank System (the "FHLB System"). The Savings Bank must file reports with the OTS and the FDIC concerning its activities and financial condition in addition to obtaining regulatory approvals prior to entering into certain transactions such as mergers with, or acquisitions of, other financial institutions. There are periodic examinations by the OTS and the FDIC to test the Savings Bank's compliance with various regulatory requirements. This regulation and supervision establishes a comprehensive framework of activities in which an institution can engage and is intended primarily for the protection of the SAIF and depositors. The regulatory structure also gives the regulatory authorities extensive discretion in connection with their supervisory and enforcement activities and examination policies, including policies with respect to the classification of assets and the establishment of adequate loan loss reserves for regulatory purposes. Any change in such policies, whether by the OTS, the FDIC or the Congress, could have a material adverse impact on the Company, the Savings Bank and their operations. Certain of the regulatory requirements applicable to the Savings Bank are referred to below or elsewhere herein. Business Activities. The activities of savings institutions are governed by HOLA, and in certain respects, the Federal Deposit Insurance Act ("FDI Act"). The Federal banking statutes, as amended by the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989 ("FIRREA") and Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 ("FDICIA") (1) restrict the solicitation of brokered deposits by savings institutions that are troubled or not well-capitalized, (2) prohibit the acquisition of any corporate debt security that is not rated in one of the four highest rating categories, (3) restrict the aggregate amount of loans secured by non-residential real estate property to 400% of capital, (4) permit savings and loan holding companies to acquire up to 5% of the voting shares of non-subsidiary savings institutions or savings and loan holding companies without prior approval, and (5) permit bank holding companies to acquire healthy savings institutions. Loans to One Borrower. Under the HOLA, savings institutions are generally subject to the national bank limits on loans to one borrower. Generally, savings institutions may not make a loan or extend credit to a single or related group of borrowers in excess of 15% of the Savings Bank's unimpaired capital and surplus. An 7 8 additional amount may be loaned, equal to 10% of unimpaired capital and surplus, if such loan is secured by readily-marketable collateral, which is defined to include certain securities and bullion, but generally does not include real estate. At December 31, 1999, the Savings Bank's largest aggregate amount of loans to any one borrower consisted of $1.99 million that was below the Savings Bank's loans to one borrower limit of $2.03 million at such date. QTL Test. The HOLA requires savings institutions to meet a QTL Test. Under the QTL test, a savings association is required to maintain at least 65% of its "portfolio assets" (total assets less (i) specified liquid assets up to 20% of total assets, (ii) intangibles, including goodwill, and (iii) the value of property used to conduct business) in certain "qualified thrift investments" (primarily residential mortgages and related investments, including certain mortgage-backed and related securities) on a monthly basis in 9 out of every 12 months. A savings association that fails the QTL Test must either convert to a bank charter or operate under certain restrictions. As of December 31, 1999, the Savings Bank maintained 89.22% of its portfolio assets in qualified thrift investments and, therefore, met the QTL Test. Limitation on Capital Distributions. OTS regulations impose limitations upon all capital distributions by savings institutions, such as cash dividends, payments to repurchase or otherwise acquire its shares, payments to shareholders of another institution in a cash-out merger and other distributions charged against capital. The rule establishes three tiers of institutions, which are based primarily on an institution's capital level. An institution that exceeds all fully phased-in capital requirements before and after a proposed capital distribution ("Tier 1 Association") and has not been advised by the OTS that it is in need of more than normal supervision, could, after prior notice but without the approval of the OTS, make capital distributions during a calendar year equal to the greater of (i) 100% of its net earnings to date during the calendar year plus the amount that would reduce by one-half its "surplus capital ratio" (the excess capital over its fully phased-in capital requirements) at the beginning of the calendar year; or (ii) 75% of its net earnings for the previous four quarters; provided that the institution would not be undercapitalized, as that term is defined in the OTS Prompt Corrective Action regulations, following the capital distribution. Any additional capital distributions would require prior regulatory approval. The Savings Bank currently qualifies as a Tier 1 Association. In the event the Savings Bank's capital fell below its fully-phased in requirement or the OTS notified it that it was in need of more than normal supervision, the Savings Bank's ability to make capital distributions could be restricted. In addition, the OTS could prohibit a proposed capital distribution by any institution, which would otherwise be permitted by the regulation, if the OTS determines that such distribution would constitute an unsafe or unsound practice. Liquidity. On November 24, 1997, the OTS published its final rule on changes to liquidity requirement calculations in order to conform with provisions of FIRREA, and reduced the liquidity base by modifying the definition of net withdrawable account to exclude accounts with maturities exceeding one year. Under the new rule, the Savings Bank is required to maintain an average daily balance of liquid assets (cash, certain time deposits, bankers' acceptances, specified U.S. Government, state or Federal agency obligations, shares of certain mutual funds and certain corporate debt securities and commercial paper) equal to a monthly average of not less than 4.0% of its net withdrawable deposit accounts plus short-term borrowings. This liquidity requirement may be changed from time to time by the OTS to any amount within the range of 4.0% to 10% depending upon economic conditions and the savings flow of member institutions. The rule eliminates a separate limit that required each savings institution to maintain an average daily balance of short-term liquid assets equal to 1.0% of the total of its net withdrawable deposit accounts and borrowings payable in one year or less. Monetary penalties may be imposed for failure to meet these liquidity requirements. The Savings Bank's average monthly liquidity ratio at December 31, 1999 was 32.64%, which exceeded the new applicable requirements. The Savings Bank has never been subject to monetary penalties for failure to meet its liquidity requirements. Simply meeting the minimum liquidity requirement does not automatically mean a thrift institution has sufficient liquidity for safe and sound operation. The new final rule includes a separate requirement that each thrift must maintain sufficient liquidity to ensure safe and sound operation. Adequate liquidity may vary from institution to institution depending on a thrift's overall asset/liability structure, market conditions, the activities of financial service competitors and the requirements of its own deposit and loan customers. 8 9 Assessments. Savings institutions are required by OTS regulation to pay assessments to the OTS to fund the operations of the OTS. The general assessment, paid on a semi-annual basis, is computed upon the savings institution's total assets, including consolidated subsidiaries, as reported in the institution's latest quarterly thrift financial report. The assessments paid by the Savings Bank for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997 totaled $45,000, $45,000 and $36,000, respectively. Branching. Under OTS regulations, Federally chartered savings associations are permitted, subject to OTS approval, to branch nationwide to the extent allowed by Federal statute. This permits Federal savings associations with interstate networks to diversify their loan portfolios and lines of business. The OTS authority preempts any state law purporting to regulate branching by Federal savings associations. The OTS will evaluate a branching applicant's record of compliance with the Community Reinvestment Act, as amended ("CRA") as part of any grant of permission to establish a new branch. A poor CRA record may be the basis for denial of a branching application. Community Reinvestment. Under the CRA, as implemented by OTS regulations, a savings institution has a continuing and affirmative obligation consistent with its safe and sound operation to help meet the credit needs of its entire community, including low and moderate income neighborhoods. The CRA does not establish specific lending requirements or programs for financial institutions nor does it limit an institution's discretion to develop the types of products and services that it believes are best suited to its particular community, consistent with the CRA. The CRA requires the OTS, in connection with its examination of a savings institution, to assess the institution's record of meeting the credit needs of its community and to take such record into account in its evaluation of certain applications by such institution. The CRA rating system identifies four levels of performance that may describe an institution's record of meeting community needs: "outstanding", "satisfactory", "needs to improve" and "substantial noncompliance". The CRA also requires all institutions to make public disclosure of their CRA ratings. The Savings Bank received a "Satisfactory" CRA rating in its most recent Federal examination by the OTS. Failure to maintain a satisfactory rating may establish a basis for the OTS to deny the application of the Savings Bank to open new branch offices or an application of the Savings Bank or the Company to undertake some other business opportunity. Brokered Deposits. Under FDIC regulations, well-capitalized institutions that are not troubled are subject to no brokered deposit limitations, while adequately capitalized institutions are able to accept, renew or roll over brokered deposits only (i) with a waiver from the FDIC and (ii) subject to the limitation that they do not pay an effective yield on any such deposit which exceeds by more than (a) 75 basis points of the effective yield paid on deposits of comparable size and maturity in such institution's normal market area for deposits accepted in its normal market area or (b) 120 basis points for retail deposits and 130 basis points for wholesale deposits, respectively, of the current yield on comparable maturity U.S. treasury obligations for deposits accepted outside the institution's normal market area. Undercapitalized institutions are not permitted to accept brokered deposits and may not solicit deposits by offering an effective yield that exceeds by more than 75 basis points of the prevailing effective yields on insured deposits of comparable maturity in the institution's normal market area or in the market area in which such deposits are being solicited. Although there exist no prohibitions under FDIC regulations, the Savings Bank does not solicit nor accept brokered deposits. The Savings Bank does not currently intend to change this policy. Transactions with Related Parties. The Savings Bank's authority to engage in transactions with related parties or "affiliates" (i.e., any company that controls or is under common control with an institution, including the Company and its non-savings institution subsidiaries) or to make loans to certain insiders, is limited by Sections 23A and 23B of the FRA. Section 23A limits the aggregate amount of transactions with any individual affiliate to 10% of the capital and surplus of the savings institution and also limits the aggregate amount of transactions with all affiliates to 20% of the savings institution's capital and surplus. Certain transactions with affiliates are required to be secured by collateral in an amount and of a type described in Section 23A and the purchase of low quality assets from affiliates is generally prohibited. Section 23B provides that certain transactions with affiliates, including loans and asset purchases, must be on terms and under circumstances, including credit standards, that are substantially the same or at least as favorable to the institution as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with nonaffiliated companies. In the absence of comparable transactions, such transactions may only occur under terms and circumstances, including credit standards, that in 9 10 good faith would be offered to or would apply to nonaffiliated companies. Notwithstanding Sections 23A and 23B, savings institutions are prohibited from lending to any affiliate that is engaged in activities that are not permissible for bank holding companies under Section 4(c) of the BHC Act. Further, no savings institution may purchase the securities of any affiliate other than a subsidiary. The Savings Bank's authority to extend credit to executive officers, directors and 10% stockholders, as well as entities controlled by such persons, is currently governed by Sections 22(g) and 22(h) of the FRA, and Regulation O thereunder. Among other things, these regulations require such loans to be made on terms substantially the same as those offered to unaffiliated individuals and do not involve more than the normal risk of repayment, place limits on the amount of loans the Savings Bank may make to such persons based, in part, on the Savings Bank's capital position, and require certain approval procedures to be followed. The OTS regulations, with certain minor variances, apply Regulation O to savings institutions. Enforcement. Under the FDI Act, the OTS has primary enforcement responsibility over savings institutions and has the authority to bring enforcement action against all "institution-related parties," including stockholders, and any attorneys, appraisers and accountants who knowingly or recklessly participate in wrongful action likely to have an adverse effect on an insured institution. Civil penalties cover a wide range of violations and actions and range up to $25,000 per day unless a finding of reckless disregard is made, in which case penalties may be as high as $1 million per day. Criminal penalties for most financial institution crimes include fines of up to $1 million and imprisonment for up to 30 years. In addition, regulators have substantial discretion to impose enforcement action on an institution that fails to comply with its regulatory requirements, particularly with respect to the capital requirements. Possible enforcement action ranges from the imposition of a capital plan and capital directive to receivership, conservatorship or the termination of deposit insurance. Under the FDI Act, the FDIC has the authority to recommend to the Director of OTS that enforcement action be taken with respect to a particular savings institution. If the director does not take action, the FDIC has authority to take such action under certain circumstances. Standards for Safety and Soundness. The FDI Act, as amended by FDICIA, requires each Federal banking agency to prescribe for all insured depository institutions and their holding companies standards relating to, among other things, internal controls, information systems and audit systems, loan documentation, credit underwriting, interest rate risk exposure, asset growth, asset quality, liquidity, capital levels and compensation, fees and benefits and such other operational and managerial standards as the agency deems appropriate. Under the FDI Act, if an insured depository institution or its holding company fails to meet any of its standards described above, it will be required to submit to the appropriate Federal banking agency a plan specifying the steps that will be taken to cure the deficiency. If an institution fails to submit an acceptable plan or fails to implement the plan, the appropriate Federal banking agency will require the institution or holding company, to correct the deficiency and until corrected, may impose restrictions on the institution or the holding company including any of the restrictions applicable under the prompt corrective action regulations. The Federal banking agencies have adopted a final regulation and Interagency Guidelines Prescribing Standards for Safety and Soundness ("Safety and Soundness Guidelines") and a final rule which implements the safety and soundness standards established by FDICIA. The Safety and Soundness Guidelines and the final rule set forth the safety and soundness standards that the Federal banking agencies use to identify and address problems at insured depository institutions before capital becomes impaired. The standards set forth in the Safety and Soundness Guidelines address internal controls and information systems: internal audit system; credit underwriting; loan documentation; interest rate risk exposure; asset growth; and compensation, fees and benefits. The agencies have also adopted guidelines relating to asset quality and earnings standards. These standards are now part of the Safety and Soundness Guidelines applicable to the Savings Bank. If the appropriate Federal banking agency determines that an institution fails to meet any standard prescribed by the Safety and Soundness Guidelines, the agency may require the institution to submit to the agency an acceptable plan to achieve compliance with the standard, as required by the FDI Act. The final rule establishes deadlines for the submission and review of such safety and soundness compliance plans. 10 11 Capital Requirements. OTS capital regulations require savings institutions to meet three capital standards: (1) tangible capital equal to 1.5% of total adjusted assets, (2) a leverage ratio (core capital) equal to at least 3% of total adjusted assets and (3) a risk-based capital requirement equal to 8.0% of total risk-weighted assets. Tangible capital is defined as core capital less all intangible assets (including supervisory goodwill), plus purchased mortgage servicing rights valued at the lower of the maximum percentage established by the OTS or the amount includable in core capital. Core capital is defined as common stockholders' equity (including retained earnings), noncumulative perpetual preferred stock and minority interests in the equity accounts of consolidated subsidiaries, and qualifying supervisory goodwill, less nonqualifying intangible assets. The capital standards require core capital (as defined above) equal to at least 3% of adjusted total assets (as defined by regulation). As a result of the prompt corrective action provisions of FDICIA, however, a savings association must maintain a core capital ratio of at least 4% to be considered adequately capitalized unless its supervisory condition is such to allow it to maintain a 3% ratio. At December 31, 1999, the Savings Bank had no intangibles that would affect the application of these tests. The OTS requires that only those savings associations rated a composite one (the highest rating) under the CAMEL rating system for savings associations will be permitted to operate at or near the regulatory minimum leverage ratio of 3%. All other savings associations will be required to maintain a minimum leverage ratio of 4% to 5%. The OTS will assess each individual savings association through the supervisory process on a case-by-case basis to determine the applicable requirement. The risk-based capital standard for savings institutions requires the maintenance of total risk-based capital (which is defined as core capital plus supplementary capital) of 8.0% of risk-weighted assets. The components of supplementary capital include, among other items, cumulative perpetual preferred stock, perpetual subordinated debt, mandatory convertible subordinated debt, intermediate-term preferred stock and the allowance for loan and lease losses. The portion of the allowance for loan and lease losses includable in supplementary capital is limited to a maximum of 1.25% of risk-weighted assets. Overall, supplementary capital is limited to 100% of core capital. A savings association must calculate its risk-weighted assets by multiplying each asset and off-balance sheet item by various risk factors as determined by the OTS, which range from 0% for cash to 100% for delinquent loans, property acquired through foreclosure, commercial loans and other assets. In August, 1995, the OTS and Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council ("FFIEC") announced that effective October 1, 1995, they would not require institutions to include unrealized gains and losses on available for sale debt securities when calculating regulatory capital. This announcement reversed prior OTS policy concerning the implementation of SFAS No. 115. As a result, institutions must now value available for sale debt securities at amortized cost, rather than at fair value, for purposes of calculating regulatory capital. Institutions are still required to comply with SFAS No. 115 for financial reporting purposes. The risk-based capital standards of the OTS generally require savings institutions with more than a "normal" level of interest rate risk to maintain additional total capital. An institution's interest rate risk will be measured in terms of the sensitivity of its "net portfolio value" to changes in interest rates. Net portfolio value is defined, generally, as the present value of expected cash inflows from existing assets and off-balance sheet contracts less the present value of expected cash outflows from existing liabilities. A savings institution will be considered to have a "normal" level of interest rate risk exposure if the decline in its net portfolio value after an immediate 200 basis point increase or decrease in market interest rates (whichever results in the greater decline) is less than two percent of the current estimated economic value of its assets. An institution with a greater than normal interest rate risk will be required to deduct from total capital, for purposes of calculating its risk-based capital requirement, an amount (the "interest rate risk component") equal to one-half the difference between the institution's measured interest rate risk and the normal level of interest rate risk, multiplied by the economic value of its total assets. The OTS calculates the sensitivity of an institution's net portfolio value based on data submitted by the institution in a schedule to its quarterly Thrift Financial Report and using the interest rate risk measurement model adopted by the OTS. The amount of the interest rate risk component, if any, to be deducted from an institution's total capital will be based on the institution's Thrift Financial Report filed two quarters earlier. 11 12 Savings institutions with less than $300 million in assets and a risk-based capital ratio above 12% are generally exempt from filing the interest rate risk schedule with their Thrift Financial Reports. However, the OTS may require any exempt institution that it determines may have a high level of interest rate risk exposure to file such schedule on a quarterly basis and may be subject to an additional capital requirement based upon its level of interest rate risk as compared to its peers. The Savings Bank is exempt from the interest rate risk component due to the institution's net size and risk-based capital level. At December 31, 1999, the Savings Bank met each of its capital requirements. For further information on the Savings Bank capital levels, see page 42 of the 1999 Annual Report to Shareholders. For further information on interest rate risk, see pages 12 through 14 of the 1999 Annual Report. Prompt Corrective Regulatory Action. Under the OTS Prompt Corrective Action regulations, the OTS is required to take certain supervisory actions against undercapitalized institutions, the severity of which depends upon the institution's degree of capitalization. Generally, a savings institution that has total risk-based capital of less than 8.0% or a leverage ratio or a Tier 1 capital ratio that is less than 4.0% is considered to be undercapitalized. A savings institution that has total risk-based capital less than 6.0%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of less than 3% or a leverage ratio that is less than 3.0% is considered to be "significantly undercapitalized" and a savings institution that has a tangible capital to assets ratio equal to or less than 2% is deemed to be "critically undercapitalized". Subject to a narrow exception, the banking regulator is required to appoint a receiver or conservator for an institution that is critically undercapitalized. The regulation also provides that a capital restoration plan must be filed with the OTS within 45 days of the date an institution receives notice that it is "undercapitalized," "significantly undercapitalized" or "critically undercapitalized". In addition, numerous mandatory supervisory actions become immediately applicable to the institution, including, but not limited to, restrictions on growth, investment activities, capital distributions, and affiliate transactions. The OTS could also take any one of a number of discretionary supervisory actions, including the issuance of a capital directive and the replacement of senior executive officers and directors. As of December 31, 1999, the Savings Bank was classified as a "well-capitalized" institution (an institution with 10% or more total risk-based capital ratio, a Tier I risk-based capital ratio of 6% or more, and a leverage capital ratio of 5.0% or more), and is not subject to any order or final capital directive to meet and maintain a specific capital level for any capital measure and as such is not subject to any prompt corrective action measures. Insurance of Deposit Accounts. The FDIC assigns an institution to one of three capital categories based on the institution's financial information, as of the reporting period ending seven months before the assessment period, consisting of 1) well capitalized, 2) adequately capitalized or 3) undercapitalized, and one of three supervisory subcategories within each capital group. The supervisory subgroup to which an institution is assigned is based on a supervisory evaluation provided to the FDIC by the institution's primary Federal regulator and information which the FDIC determines to be relevant to the institution's financial condition and the risk posed to the deposit insurance funds. An institution's assessment rate depends on the capital category and supervisory category to which it is assigned. There are nine assessment risk classifications (i.e., combinations of capital groups and supervisory subgroups) to which different assessment rates are applied. Prior to October 1, 1996, assessment rates for members of the SAIF ranged from 23 basis points for an institution in the highest category (i.e., well-capitalized and healthy) to 31 basis points for an institution in the lowest category (i.e., undercapitalized and substantial supervisory concern). After September 30, 1996, assessment rates varied from 0 basis points for an institution rated in the highest category to 27 basis points for an institution rated in the lowest category. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999, the insurance fund assessment paid by the Savings Bank was 6.45 basis points. The FDIC sets the assessment rate for institutions on a semi-annual basis. The FDIC is authorized to raise the assessment rates in certain circumstances. If the FDIC determined to increase the assessment rates for all institutions, institutions in all risk categories could be affected. The FDIC has exercised this authority several times in the past and may raise insurance premiums in the future. Pursuant to the Deposit Insurance Funds Act of 1996, the FDIC imposed a one time special assessment of 65.7 basis points against insured deposits of the Savings Bank as of March 31, 1995. This special assessment was charged against all financial institutions with deposits insured by the SAIF. This special assessment was used to 12 13 provide a capital infusion into the SAIF. The money collected will capitalize the thrift fund and let thrift premiums be brought in line with those of commercial banks by the year 2000. Fiscal 2000 FDIC assessments are expected to be 2.4 basis points. Under the FDI Act, insurance of deposits may be terminated by the FDIC upon a finding that the institution has engaged in unsafe or unsound practices, is in an unsafe or unsound condition to continue operations or has violated any applicable law, regulation, rule, order or condition imposed by the FDIC or the OTS. The management of the Savings Bank does not know of any practice, condition or violation that might lead to termination of deposit insurance. Federal Home Loan Bank System. The Savings Bank is a member of the FHLB System, which consists of 12 regional FHLBs. The FHLB provides a central credit facility primarily for member institutions. The Savings Bank, as a member of the FHLB, is required to acquire and hold shares of capital stock in the FHLB in an amount at least equal to 1% of the aggregate principal amount of its unpaid residential mortgage loans and similar obligations at the beginning of each year, or 1/20 of its advances (borrowings) from the FHLB, whichever is greater. The Savings Bank was in compliance with this requirement with an investment in FHLB stock at December 31, 1999, of $3.6 million. The FHLBs are required to provide funds for the resolution of insolvent thrifts and to contribute funds for affordable housing programs. These requirements could reduce the amount of dividends that the FHLBs pay to their members and could also result in the FHLBs imposing a higher rate of interest on advances to their members. For the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, dividends from the FHLB to the Savings Bank amounted to $200,000, $158,000 and $89,000 respectively. If dividends were reduced, or interest on future FHLB advances increased, the Savings Bank's net interest income would likely also be reduced. Further, there can be no assurance that the impact of FDICIA and the FIRREA on the FHLBs will not also cause a decrease in the value of the FHLB stock held by the Savings Bank. Federal Reserve System. The Federal Reserve Board regulations require savings institutions to maintain non-interest-earning reserves against their transaction accounts (primarily NOW and regular checking accounts). The Federal Reserve Board regulations in fiscal 1999 generally required that reserves be maintained against aggregate transaction accounts as follows: For accounts aggregating $46.5 million or less (subject to adjustment by the Federal Reserve Board) the reserve requirement was 3%; and for accounts greater than $46.5 million, the reserve requirement was $1.3 million plus 10% (subject to adjustment by the Federal Reserve Board between 8% and 14%) against that portion of total transaction accounts in excess of $46.5 million. The first $4.9 million of otherwise reservable balances (subject to adjustments by the Federal Reserve Board) were exempted from the reserve requirements. The Savings Bank was in compliance with the foregoing requirements. The balances maintained to meet the reserve requirements imposed by the FRB may be used to satisfy liquidity requirements imposed by the OTS. Because required reserves must be maintained in the form of either vault cash, a non-interest-bearing account at a Federal Reserve Bank or a pass-through account as defined by the FRB, the effect of this reserve requirement is to reduce the Savings Bank's interest-earning assets. FHLB System members are also authorized to borrow from the Federal Reserve "discount window," but Federal Reserve Board regulations require institutions to exhaust all FHLB sources before borrowing from a Federal Reserve Bank. FIRREA requires the OTS to establish accounting standards to be applicable to all savings associations for purposes of complying with regulations, except to the extent otherwise specified in the capital standards. Such standards must incorporate generally accepted accounting principles to the same degree as is prescribed by the Federal banking agencies for banks or may be more stringent than such requirements. On September 2, 1992, the OTS amended a number of its accounting regulations and reporting requirements (effective October 2, 1992). The amendments reflected the adoption by the OTS of the following standards: (i) regulatory reports will incorporate generally accepted accounting principles when generally accepted accounting principles are used by Federal banking agencies; (ii) savings association transactions, financial condition and regulatory capital must be reported and disclosed in accordance with OTS regulatory reporting requirements that will be at least as stringent as for national banks; and (iii) the director of the OTS may prescribe regulatory reporting requirements more stringent than generally accepted accounting principles whenever the 13 14 director determines that such requirements are necessary to ensure the safe and sound reporting and operation of savings associations. The OTS anticipates further similar revisions to its regulations in the near future. The OTS adopted a statement of policy ("Statement") set forth in Thrift Bulletin 52 concerning (i) procedures to be used in the selection of a securities dealer, (ii) the need to document and implement prudent policies and strategies for securities, whether held to maturity, trading or for sale, and to establish systems and internal controls to ensure that securities activities are consistent with the financial institution's policies and strategies, (iii) securities trading and sales practices that may be unsuitable in connection with securities held in an investment portfolio, (iv) high-risk mortgage securities that are not suitable for investment portfolio holdings for financial institutions, and (v) disproportionately large holdings of long-term, zero-coupon bonds that may constitute an imprudent investment practice. The Statement applies to investment securities, high-yield, corporate debt securities, loans, mortgage-backed securities and derivative securities, and provides guidance concerning the proper classification of, and accounting for, securities held to maturity, sale, and trading. Securities held to maturity, sale or trading may be differentiated based upon an institution's desire to earn an interest yield (held to maturity), to realize a holding gain from assets held for indefinite periods of time (held for sale), or to earn a dealer's spread between the bid and asked prices (held for trading). Depository institution investment portfolios are maintained to provide earnings consistent with the safety factors of quality, maturity, marketability and risk diversification. Securities that are purchased to accomplish these objectives may be reported at their amortized cost only when the depository institution has both the intent and ability to hold the assets for long-term investment purposes. Securities held to maturity may be accounted for at amortized cost, securities held for sale are to be accounted for at the lower of cost or market, and securities held for trading are to be accounted for at market. The Savings Bank believes that its investment activities have been and will continue to be conducted in accordance with the requirements of OTS policies and generally accepted accounting principles. Special Liquidation Rights. In connection with the Conversion, a special "liquidation account" was established for the benefit of the eligible account holders and the supplemental eligible account holders of the Savings Bank determined in accordance with the plan of conversion adopted by the Savings Bank under applicable law governing the conversion of mutual savings banks. This liquidation account is equal to the amount of the net worth of the Savings Bank as of the date of its latest statement of financial condition contained in the final prospectus used in connection with the Conversion. This amount is $7,085,000. Each eligible account holder and supplemental eligible account holder, if he were to continue to maintain his deposit account at the Savings Bank, would be entitled, on a complete liquidation of the Savings Bank after Conversion, to an interest in the liquidation account prior to any payment to the stockholders of the Savings Bank. Each such eligible account holder or supplemental eligible account holder of the Savings Bank will have a pro rata interest in the total liquidation account for each of his, her or its, as the case may be, deposit accounts based on the proportion that the balance of each such deposit account on the eligibility record dates for such account holders bore to the balance of all deposit accounts in the Savings Bank on each of the such eligibility record date. Under certain circumstances the interests of an eligible account holder or a supplemental eligible account holder may be terminated. Were a mutual savings bank to liquidate, all claims of creditors (including those of depositors, to the extent of deposit balances) would be paid first. Thereafter, if there were any assets remaining, depositors would receive such remaining assets, pro rata, based upon the deposit balances in their deposit accounts immediately prior to liquidation. These liquidation rules survived the Conversion. In the event that the Savings Bank were to be liquidated after Conversion, all claims of creditors (including those of depositors, to the extent of their deposit balances) would also be paid first, followed by distribution of the "liquidation account" to the eligible account holders and the supplemental eligible account holders of the Savings Bank, with any assets remaining thereafter distributed to the Company as the holder of the Savings Bank's capital stock. Pursuant to the rules and regulations of the OTS, a post-Conversion merger, consolidation, sale of bulk assets or similar combination or transaction with another insured savings institution would not be considered a liquidation and, in such a transaction, the liquidation account would be required to be assumed by the surviving institution. 14 15 FEDERAL AND STATE TAXATION General. The Company and the Savings Bank are subject to the corporate tax provisions of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"), as well as certain additional provisions of the Code which apply to thrift and other types of financial institutions. The following discussion of tax matters is intended only as a summary and does not purport to be a comprehensive description of the tax rules applicable to the Company and the Savings Bank. Fiscal Year. The Company and the Savings Bank will file a consolidated Federal income tax return on a December 31 year-end basis. Method of Accounting. The Company maintains its books and records for Federal income tax purposes using the accrual method of accounting. The accrual method of accounting generally requires that items of income be recognized when all events have occurred that establish the right to receive the income and the amount of income can be determined with reasonable accuracy, and that items of expense be deducted at the later of (i) the time when all events have occurred that establish the liability to pay the expense and the amount of such liability can be determined with reasonable accuracy or (ii) the time when economic performance with respect to the item of expense has occurred. Bad Debt Reserves. With a limited exception, effective for taxable years beginning after 1995, the Small Business Job Protection Act of 1996 (the "1996 Act") repealed the reserve method of accounting for bad debts by savings institutions. The reserve method permitted savings institutions to establish reserves for bad debts and to make annual additions thereto that qualified as deductions from taxable income for federal tax purposes. Prior to the effective date of repeal, the bad debt deduction was generally based on a savings institution's actual loss experience (the "Experience Method") or, if certain definitional tests relating to the composition of assets and the nature of its business were met, by reference to a percentage of the savings institution's taxable income (the "Percentage Method"). The 1996 Act provides a limited exception to the repeal of the reserve method by retaining the Experience Method for savings institutions, such as the Savings Bank, which have assets with adjusted bases of $500 million or less. The Percentage Method is no longer available for any savings institution. For taxable years ended on or before December 31, 1995, the Savings Bank generally had elected to use the Percentage Method to compute the amount of its bad debt deduction. Under the Experience Method, the deductible annual addition continues to be the amount necessary to increase the balance of the reserve at the close of the taxable year to the greater of (i) the amount which bears the same ratio to loans outstanding at the close of the taxable year as the total net bad debts sustained during the current and five preceding taxable years bear to the sum of the loans outstanding at the close of those six years, or (ii) the lower of (x) the balance in the reserve account at the close of the Savings Bank's "base year," which was its tax year ended December 31, 1987, or (y) if the amount of loans outstanding at the close of the current year is less than the amount of loans outstanding at the close of the base year, the amount which bears the same ratio to loans outstanding at the close of the current year as the balance of the reserve at the close of the base year bears to the amount of loans outstanding at the close of the base year. Under the Percentage Method, the bad debt deduction with respect to qualifying real property loans was computed as a percentage of the Savings Bank's taxable income before such deduction, as adjusted for certain items (such as capital gains and the dividends received deduction). Under the Percentage Method, a qualifying institution such as the Savings Bank generally could deduct 8% of its taxable income. The 1996 Act mandates that a savings institution required to change its method of computing reserves for bad debts shall take into income ratably over a six taxable year period its "applicable excess reserve", commencing with the first taxable year beginning after 1995. Under a special rule that is applicable only for taxable years that begin after December 31, 1995 and before January 1, 1998, if a savings institution meets the "residential loan requirement" for a taxable year, the recapture of the applicable excess reserve that would otherwise be required to be taken into account will be suspended. The effect of this is that all savings institutions will be required to recapture their applicable excess reserves within six, seven or eight years after the effective date of the change. The Savings Bank will meet the residential loan requirement if, for a taxable year, the 15 16 principal amount of residential loans made by it are generally not less than the average principal amount of residential loans made by it during the six most recent taxable years beginning before January 1, 1996. The Savings Bank's "applicable excess reserves" would be the excess of (1) the balance in its reserve account as of the close of its last taxable year beginning before January 1, 1996, over (2) the greater of the balance of (a) its pre-1988 reserves, or (b) what the Savings Bank's reserves would have been at the close of its last taxable year beginning before January 1, 1996, had the Savings Bank always used the Experience Method. The Savings Bank had maintained the applicable residential loan requirement; and this recapture commenced with the taxable year that began January 1, 1998. As of December 31, 1999, the Savings Bank had an applicable excess reserve balance remaining of approximately $85,000. Approximately $21,300 will be recaptured on an annual basis over the next four fiscal years. The base year (i.e. December 31, 1987) bad debt reserve under the Percentage Method is permanently suspended, and therefore not subject to recapture, unless a base year loan contraction occurs in a subsequent year. A base year loan contraction occurs when the total loans at the end of the year is less than the total loans at December 31, 1987. In such cases, a proportionate reduction to the base year bad debt reserve at December 31, 1987 is required and the reduction to the reserve is recaptured. Furthermore, the base year bad debt reserve constitutes a restriction for tax purposes of the Bank's use of retained earnings for distributions or redemptions. In accordance with FASB statement No. 109, the Bank has recorded deferred income tax associated with the temporary differences related to the portion of the bad debt reserve arising in tax years after December 31, 1987. For the period before December 31, 1987, there is an unrecognized deferred tax liability of approximately $565,000 at December 31, 1999. If the suspended base year bad debt reserve at December 31, 1987 is reduced by certain excess distributions, redemptions or a base year loan contraction, income tax expense will be recognized at the prevailing tax rate. Distributions. If the Savings Bank were to distribute cash or property to its sole stockholder having a total fair market value in excess of its accumulated tax-paid earnings and profits, or were to distribute cash or property to its stockholder in redemption of its stock, the Savings Bank would generally be required to recognize as income an amount which, when reduced by the amount of Federal income tax that would be attributable to the inclusion of such amount in income, is equal to the lesser of: (i) the amount of the distribution or (ii) the sum of (a) the amount of the accumulated bad debt reserve of the Savings Bank with respect to qualifying real property loans (to the extent that additions to such reserve exceed the additions that would be permitted under the Experience Method) and (b) the amount of the Savings Bank's supplemental bad debt reserve. The Savings Bank will continue to deduct additions to its bad debt reserves in the same manner as it has in past years. Minimum Tax. The Code imposes an alternative minimum tax at a rate of 20% on a base of regular taxable income plus certain tax preferences ("alternative minimum taxable income" or "AMTI"). The alternative minimum tax is payable to the extent such AMTI is in excess of an exemption amount. The Code provides that items of tax preference that constitute AMTI include (a) tax exempt interest on newly-issued (generally, issued on or after August 8, 1986) private activity bonds other than certain qualified bonds and (b) for taxable years beginning after 1989, 75% of the excess (if any) of (i) adjusted current earnings as defined in the Code, over (ii) AMTI (determined without regard to this preference and prior to reduction by net operating losses). Net operating losses can offset no more than 90% of AMTI. Certain payments of alternative minimum tax may be used as credits against regular tax liabilities in future years. Federal Income Tax Returns. The Company's and the Savings Bank's Federal income tax returns have been filed for taxable years through December 31, 1998 (a consolidated Federal income tax return has been filed by the Company and the Savings Bank for the taxable year ended December 31, 1996; and a consolidated return for the Company and the Savings Bank will be filed for each tax year commencing on and after January 1, 1997). The Company and the Savings Bank's corporate income tax returns have been examined by the IRS through December 31, 1997. There were no material findings. Dividends Received Deduction and Other Matters. The Company may exclude from its income 100% of dividends received from the Savings Bank as a member of the same affiliated group of corporations. The corporate dividends received deduction is generally 70% in the case of dividends received from unaffiliated 16 17 corporations with which the Company and the Savings Bank will not file a consolidated tax return, except that if the Company owns more than 20% of the stock of a corporation distributing a dividend, 80% of any dividends received may be deducted. State and Local Taxation. The Savings Bank is subject to the Mutual Thrift Institutions Tax of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania based on the Savings Bank's financial net income determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles with certain adjustments. The tax rate under the Mutual Thrift Institutions Tax is 11.5%. Interest on Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and Federal obligations is excluded from net income. An allocable portion of net interest expense incurred to carry the obligations is disallowed as a deduction. Three year carryforwards of losses are allowed. The Company is subject to the Corporate Net Income Tax and the Capital Stock Tax of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

The year 1999 proved to be a record year in many respects. Net earnings for the year ended December 31, 1999 totaled an unprecedented $851,000 or $.93 per share which surpassed 1998 earnings of $743,000 or $.74 per share. The increase in net earnings of 15% is attributable to the continued growth of the Company's assets. Total assets reached $200.6 million at December 31, 1999 which represents an increase of $23.2 million or 13.1% over total assets at December 31, 1998 of $177.4 million. Net interest income after provision for loan losses increased $447,000 in spite of rising interest rates that have caused interest margins to shrink throughout the industry. Cash dividends paid in 1999 were $236,400 or $.24 per share, an increase of 23.4% over 1998 dividends paid of $191,600 or $.18 per share. It has been the Company's policy to pay quarterly dividends, and the Company has paid a dividend for 12 consecutive quarters. In October 1999, the Bank announced a 5% stock repurchase. This buyback represents the fourth such stock buyback. As of December 31, 1999, 7,000 shares had been repurchased at an average cost of $12.20 per share. Total deposits grew during 1999 to a total of $120.5 million, an increase of almost $11 million or 10% over December 31, 1998. Our two newest offices located in Elizabeth Township and Washington enjoyed deposit growth of $1.9 million and $4 million respectively. The Bank implemented a plan to deal with the much publicized Year 2000 computer software problems. The Year 2000 arrived and, as anticipated, no problems were encountered with any of the Bank's operating systems. Personnel changes in 1999 included the retirement of Robert S. Zyla, President of the Bank since 1989. Patricia A. White has been named as Mr. Zyla's successor. On behalf of the Board of Directors, management, and employees of Prestige Bancorp, Inc. and Prestige Bank, I would like to thank you for your continued support and confidence. Sincerely, /s/ John A. Stiver John A. Stiver Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer 4 6 GENERAL INFORMATION Prestige Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") was formed in March, 1996 in connection with the conversion of Prestige Bank, A Federal Savings Bank (the "Savings Bank") from a mutual chartered savings association to a stock chartered savings association (the "Conversion"). Upon completion of the Conversion on June 27, 1996, the Company commenced operations as the holding company of the Savings Bank, then existing as a stock-chartered federal savings association. The Company is organized as a Pennsylvania corporation. Any comparison herein of the Company's and the Savings Bank's performance to any period prior to June 27, 1996 is assumed to be a comparison to the performance of the Savings Bank for such period. The Savings Bank is a stock-chartered savings bank organized under the laws of the United States of America, which conducts business from offices located in Allegheny and Washington Counties, Pennsylvania. The Savings Bank's operations date back to 1935 with the incorporation of First Federal Savings and Loan Association of Mt. Oliver in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania which, in March, 1991, converted its charter from a federal mutual savings and loan association to a federal mutual savings bank and took the name Prestige Bank, A Federal Savings Bank. On June 27, 1996, the Savings Bank converted to a stock-chartered savings bank. The Savings Bank's deposits are insured by the Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF") of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") to the maximum extent permitted by law. The consolidated operating results of the Company and the Savings Bank depend primarily upon net interest income, which is determined by the difference between interest and dividend income on earning assets, principally loans, investment securities and other investments and mortgage-backed securities and interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities, which consist of deposits and advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh. Other than the stock of the Savings Bank, at December 31, 1999 the Company was holding only a loan receivable from the Prestige Bank Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the "ESOP"), an officer loan totaling $236,000, debt and equity securities with a market value totaling $1.1 million at December 31, 1999, other assets of $143,000 and a money-market and checking account with the Savings Bank. At December 31, 1999, the Company had borrowed $150,000 from the Savings Bank to support cash levels. The loan is adequately secured in accordance with applicable law. The consolidated net income of the Company also is affected by the Savings Bank's provision for loan losses, as well as the level of other consolidated income, including late charges, and other expenses, such as salaries and employee benefits, net occupancy and equipment expense, Federal deposit insurance and miscellaneous other expenses, and income taxes. The Company has paid consecutive quarterly dividends since the first quarter of 1997. On January 19, 2000, the Company increased its quarterly cash dividend from $.06 per share to $.07 per share and intends to consider the continued payment of dividends on a regular basis; however, the declaration of dividends is discretionary with the Board of Directors of the Company, and there is no assurance regarding the payment of future dividends by the Company. The quarterly dividend declared on January 19, 2000, was $.07 per share and payable on March 17, 2000 to shareholders of record March 1, 2000. The common stock of the Company is traded on the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations ("NASDAQ") system (symbol "PRBC"). On April 15, 1998, the Board of Directors declared a stock dividend of 15% to shareholders of record of June 2, 1998 which was paid on June 19, 1998. In addition, on February 17, 1999, the Board of Directors declared a stock dividend of 5% to shareholders of record of March 2, 1999 which was paid on March 19, 1999. Information as to the high and low stock prices for each quarter of fiscal years 1999 and 1998 is included on page 8 of this Report. 5 7 SELECTED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL AND OTHER DATA The selected financial and other data of the Company and the Savings Bank set forth below does not purport to be complete and should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified in its entirety by, the more detailed information, including the Financial Statements and related Notes, appearing elsewhere herein.

With the exception of end of period ratios, all ratios are based on average monthly balances during the indicated periods and are annualized where appropriate. (4) Interest rate spread represents the difference between the weighted average yield on average interest-earning assets and the weighted average cost of average interest-bearing liabilities, and net interest margin represents net interest income as a percent of average interest-earning assets. (5) On April 15, 1998, the Board of Directors declared a stock dividend of 15% to shareholders of record of June 2, 1998 which was paid on June 19, 1998.

(7) But for the impact of the special assessment imposed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") on deposits of the Savings Bank as of March 31, 1995, the other expenses of the Company for 1996 would have been $2.6 million. (8) But for the impact of the special assessment described in Note 7 above, the net income of the Company would have been $454,000. (9) Earnings per share of the Company for the period from June 27, 1996 (date of conversion) to December 31, 1996, was less than one-half of one cent per share.

In addition, on February 17, 1999, the Board of Directors declared a stock dividend of 5% to shareholders of record of March 2, 1999 which was paid on March 19, 1999. All per share data have been restated to reflect the stock dividends. (2) Stock prices are based on the closing bid prices reported on NASDAQ. (3) The increase in non-interest expense from $1.18 million for the quarter ended September 30, 1999 to $1.25 million for the quarter ended December 31, 1999 was primarily attributable to a one-time charge of $112,000 in connection with the fourth quarter retirement of former Savings Bank and Company President Robert S. Zyla due to a physical disability. 8 10 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS GENERAL The Company completed the conversion of the Savings Bank to a federally stock chartered savings bank on June 27, 1996.

YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998 FINANCIAL CONDITION The Company's consolidated assets increased by $23.2 million or 13.1% from $177.4 million at December 31, 1998 to $200.6 million at December 31, 1999. The increase in total assets was primarily attributable to a $27.1 million increase in total net loans receivable which was partially offset by a decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $5.0 million. The increase in total assets was funded by an increase in deposits and the leverage of the balance sheet through loans from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh ("FHLB of Pittsburgh"). Total deposits increased from $109.7 million at December 31, 1998 to $120.5 million at December 31, 1999, and advances from the FHLB of Pittsburgh rose from $51.0 million at December 31, 1998 to $63.0 million at December 31, 1999. The Savings Bank's net loans receivable increased by $27.1 million or 21.9% from $123.9 million at December 31, 1998 to $151.0 million at December 31, 1999. This rise in total net loan receivables can be traced to three main areas of growth. One-to-four family residential mortgages increased $15.1 million or 18.5%, as the Savings Bank expanded its efforts to contact realtors and priced its mortgage rates competitively. Consumer loans increased $1.6 million or 10.4%, as the Savings Bank intensified its efforts to attract consumer loans through expanded marketing and competitive rate pricing. Commercial business and commercial real estate loans increased from $27.0 million at December 31, 1998 to $37.8 million at December 31, 1999. The increase in commercial business and commercial real estate loans continues to be accomplished essentially through referrals. Cash and cash equivalents decreased from $10.2 million at December 31, 1998 to $5.2 million at December 31, 1999. The decrease of $5.0 million in cash and cash equivalents during fiscal 1999 was primarily attributable to the $27.1 million growth in net loans receivable. This was partially offset by a $10.8 million and $12.0 million growth in total deposits and FHLB of Pittsburgh advances, respectively. 9 11 The Savings Bank's total deposits increased $10.8 million or 9.8% from $109.7 million at December 31, 1998 to $120.5 million at December 31, 1999. The growth in deposits during fiscal 1999 was primarily a result of competitive rates and fees that continue to be offered by the Savings Bank. In addition, the two newest branches opened in 1997 and 1998 accounted for 54.5% of the increase in total deposits. At December 31, 1999, our supermarket branch in Washington, PA, which opened in October 1997, had deposits totaling $6.5 million while the Elizabeth Township office, which opened in February 1998, had deposits totaling $6.7 million. Borrowings by the Savings Bank from the FHLB of Pittsburgh rose by $12.0 million, or 23.5%, from $51.0 million at December 31, 1998 to $63.0 million at December 31, 1999. Total equity increased $193,000 or 1.3%, during fiscal 1999, to $15.0 million at December 31, 1999. The primary reasons for this increase were net income for fiscal 1999 of $851,000 which was partially offset by a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income of $391,000 and dividends paid of $236,000. On February 17, 1999, the Board of Directors declared a stock dividend of 5% to shareholders of record of March 2, 1999 which was paid on March 19, 1999. In addition, on October 26, 1999, the Company initiated plans to repurchase, at market value, up to 5% of its outstanding shares, or 49,848 shares, of common stock through the use of its existing cash and cash equivalents. At December 31, 1999, 7,000 shares had been repurchased under this repurchase plan at a total cost of $85,000. YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997 FINANCIAL CONDITION The Company's consolidated assets increased by $34.1 million or 23.8% from $143.3 million at December 31, 1997 to $177.4 million at December 31, 1998. The increase in total assets was primarily attributable to an increase in total net loans receivable and cash and cash equivalents. The increase in total assets was funded by an increase in deposits and the leverage of the balance sheet through loans from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh ("FHLB of Pittsburgh"). Total deposits increased from $91.2 million at December 31, 1997 to $109.7 million at December 31, 1998, and advances from the FHLB of Pittsburgh rose from $34.7 million at December 31, 1997 to $51.0 million at December 31, 1998. The Savings Bank's net loans receivable increased by $27.7 million or 28.8% from $96.2 million at December 31, 1997 to $123.9 million at December 31, 1998. Total net loan receivables grew mainly through three areas of lending. One-to-four family residential mortgages increased $9.2 million or 12.6%, as the Savings Bank expanded its efforts to contact realtors and priced its mortgage rates competitively. Consumer loans increased $2.9 million or 22.8%, as the Savings Bank strove to attract consumer loans through expanded marketing and competitive rate pricing. Commercial business and commercial real estate loans increased from $11.1 million at December 31, 1997 to $27.0 million at December 31, 1998. The increase in commercial business and commercial real estate loans was accomplished through referrals. Investment securities decreased from $38.8 million at December 31, 1997 to $35.4 million at December 31, 1998. The decrease occurred as investments with callable features were called due to the low rate environment. These funds received from the called investments along with increased principal payments on loans and increases in total deposits primarily account for the increase in cash and cash equivalents from $2.2 million at December 31, 1997 to $10.2 million at December 31, 1998. On April 30, 1998, the Savings Bank completed the sale of the land and building situated in Bethel Park, Pennsylvania, on which the Savings Bank's Bethel Park branch is located. The Bank entered into a two year lease with the new owner that includes three one year options concerning the continued operation of the Bethel Park branch of the bank at such location. The Company will recognize a gain of $37,914 on the sale of the property over the life of the lease. The Savings Bank's total deposits increased $18.5 million or 20.3% from $91.2 million at December 31, 1997 to $109.7 million at December 31, 1998. The growth in deposits during fiscal 1998 was primarily a result of competitive rates and fees that were offered by the Savings Bank. The Savings Bank opened its fifth branch located at 603 Scenery Drive, Elizabeth Township, PA in the first quarter of 1998. To attract customers to this location along with our supermarket branch in Washington, PA, that opened in October 1997, slightly higher than 10 12 market rate certificates were offered. At December 31, 1998, our supermarket branch had deposits totaling $2.4 million while the Elizabeth Township office had deposits totaling $4.9 million. Borrowings by the Savings Bank from the FHLB of Pittsburgh rose by $16.3 million, or 47.0%, from $34.7 million at December 31, 1997 to $51.0 million at December 31, 1998. Total equity decreased $870,000 or 5.6% to $14.8 million at December 31, 1998. The primary reasons for this decrease were two 5% stock buyback programs initiated and completed during 1998 totaling $1.4 million and dividends paid of $192,000 which was partially offset by net income for fiscal 1998 of $743,000. In addition, on April 15, 1998, the Board of Directors declared a stock dividend of 15% to shareholders of record of June 2, 1998 which was paid on June 19, 1998. OPERATING STRATEGY As described in greater detail below, the Company and Savings Bank intend to continue an emphasis on residential mortgage loans. However, as part of the business strategy to increase profitability, the Savings Bank will continue to widen its range of lending activities in the areas of commercial business loans, commercial real estate loans and consumer loans. Although such lending activities entail greater risk than residential mortgage lending, management is willing to continue accepting such risks because of its belief that there are lending opportunities in its market area which are not being currently fulfilled by other financial institutions and management believes it can properly manage the risks of greater consumer and commercial lending. The Savings Bank continued to experience increased competition from mortgage brokers and other financial entities for its one-to-four family residential real estate lending activities in the early 1990s. This increased competition has led to a reduction in margins for residential real estate lending. The Savings Bank's total loans receivable attributable to one-to-four family residential loans, which amounted to $55.4 million or 60.3% of total assets at December 31, 1995, was $96.2 million at December 31, 1999 but had declined as a percentage of total assets to 48.0%. During the same period, the Savings Bank's total loans receivable attributable to commercial business, commercial real estate, construction and consumer loans, which amounted to $6.4 million or 6.9% of total assets at December 31, 1995, had increased to $57.0 million at December 31, 1999 or 28.4% of total assets. At the same time, investment and mortgage-backed securities, which amounted to $22.6 million, or 24.6% of total assets, at December 31, 1995 had increased to $35.3 million, or 17.6% of total assets, at December 31, 1999. Management attributes this shift in asset composition to an increase in deposits and borrowings over the same period (from $83.7 million at December 31, 1995 to $183.5 million at December 31, 1999) and increased efforts on the part of management to find customers with various loan needs. In addition, management desires to increase the Savings Bank's commercial and consumer loans and investment securities to offset its exposure to interest rate risk associated with long term fixed rate residential mortgages in excess of 15 years. The Savings Bank's percentage of adjustable rate mortgages in its mortgage portfolio has declined due to lack of demand. As fixed loan rates have remained affordable, the adjustable rate mortgage has become less attractive to potential customers. As of December 31, 1999, adjustable rate mortgages constituted 16.7% of the Savings Bank's one-to-four family residential mortgage portfolio and fixed rate mortgages made up the remaining portion of the Savings Bank's one-to-four family residential mortgage portfolio. In contrast, as of December 31, 1998, adjustable rate mortgages composed 22.9% of the Savings Bank's one-to-four residential mortgage portfolio and fixed rate mortgages comprised the remaining portion of the Savings Bank's one-to-four family residential mortgage portfolio. Management realizes the importance of adjustable rate mortgages to interest rate risk management but believes that under this current rate environment it would be difficult to profitably produce adjustable rate mortgages. Therefore, management presently intends to continue to reduce its emphasis on adjustable rate mortgages by providing a broad range of mortgage products with varying maturities. The Savings Bank strives to maintain deposits as its primary source of funds to meet loan demand and to maintain outstanding loan balances. However, during periods of strong loan growth, the Savings Bank will fund the growth in assets with borrowings from the FHLB of Pittsburgh. Investment securities and mortgage-backed securities are acquired based on the decisions of Investment/Asset and Liability Committees ("ALCO"). When the Savings Bank has excess cash and when management believes the yields and the maturities are attractive, investment and mortgaged-back securities are purchased. Excess cash (cash in excess of vault cash and other operating cash needs) is primarily deposited in an interest bearing demand deposit account with the FHLB of Pittsburgh. Cash and cash equivalents typically decline in periods of high loan demand and increase in periods of reduced loan 11 13 demand. As of December 31, 1998, outstanding borrowings from the FHLB of Pittsburgh stood at $51.0 million and as of December 31, 1999 such borrowings had increased to $63.0 million. This increased borrowing occurred as part of the Savings Bank Management's plan to increase lending and to increase the debt to equity leverage ratio due to the increased equity that arose through the Conversion. Management's strategy in the past few years has been to invest the funds received from the repayments and prepayments of loans and mortgage-backed securities immediately into short-term, liquid investments. In the longer term, the Company anticipates the use of a significant portion of these funds to fund fixed-rate or adjustable-rate mortgage loans with various maturities and, depending upon then current interest rates and management's estimate of how such rates merit change, purchasing investment securities with various maturities. Although this strategy will have the effect of increasing the Savings Bank's interest rate exposure of the Company and the Savings Bank, management believes that the increased earnings potential offsets this increased rate risk. In the event the Savings Bank needs cash to fund additional consumer loans, commercial business loans or commercial real estate loans, the Savings Bank will borrow funds from the FHLB of Pittsburgh. This strategy will increase interest expense but management feels the increased yields available through the extension of consumer, commercial business and commercial real estate loans justify such increased interest expense. Management has promoted one-to-four family residential mortgage loans with fixed interest rates to 15 year terms or less whenever possible. However, due to the heavy demand for 30 year fixed rate mortgages, management has had to promote this product. Management is cognizant of the increased interest rate risk this product presents and takes necessary steps to control the risk. Such steps include limiting new loan volume and funding the loans with longer-term borrowings. Adjustable rate mortgage loans ("ARMs") for one-to-four family residential mortgages continue to be offered. U.S. Government and U.S. Government agency securities and mortgage-backed securities are purchased with contract maturities generally up to 15 years upon terms which management believes are attractive because of yield, call features to the security or market conditions. The Savings Bank has increased its exposure to consumer loans and commercial loans that combine higher yields and a shorter loan term. Consumer and commercial business loans have grown from $15.7 million and $18.7 million, respectively, at December 31, 1998 to $17.3 million and $21.1 million, respectively, at December 31, 1999. Management intends to continue the strategy set forth above. The foregoing investment strategy is based on management's assessment of future economic conditions and is subject to change. ASSET AND LIABILITY MANAGEMENT The principal objective of the Company's asset and liability management function is to evaluate the interest-rate risk included in its asset and liability mix to determine the level of risk appropriate given the Company's business focus, operating environment, capital and liquidity requirements and performance objectives, establish prudent asset concentration guidelines and manage the risk consistent with Board approved guidelines. The Savings Bank concentrates on maintaining a sufficient deposit base to fund loan activities and securities investments. A large core deposit base (defined as demand deposit accounts, passbook savings accounts and money market savings accounts) provides the Savings Bank with a lower cost source of funds relative to its alternative principal borrowing sources, i.e., advances from the FHLB of Pittsburgh. Management calculates its cost of funds and chooses interest-bearing assets in excess of its average cost of funds or its marginal cost of funding. In periods of relatively low interest rates, the Savings Bank may price its certificates of deposit in excess of its competition to attract and maintain deposits (i) to avoid increased borrowing, or to reduce the outstanding borrowings, from the FHLB of Pittsburgh or (ii) to avoid selling investment securities to maintain liquidity needs. This strategy will result in periods of reduced net interest income and net income if the Savings Bank is unable to invest deposits in interest-bearing assets with sufficient yield to maintain its average interest rate spread between its assets and liabilities. The Company seeks, through the Asset Liability Committee ("ALCO"), to reduce the vulnerability of its operations to changes in interest rates and to manage the difference between amounts of interest-rate sensitive assets and interest-rate sensitive liabilities within specified maturities or repricing dates. The difference, or the interest rate repricing "gap," provides an indication of the extent to which an institution's interest rate spread will be affected by changes in interest rates. A gap is considered positive when the amount of interest-rate sensitive assets exceeds the amount of interest-rate sensitive liabilities, and is considered negative when the amount of 12 14 interest-rate sensitive liabilities exceeds the amount of interest-rate sensitive assets during a given time period. Generally, during a period of rising interest rates, a negative gap within shorter maturities would adversely affect net interest income, while a positive gap within shorter maturities would result in an increase in net interest income, and during a period of falling interest rates, a negative gap within shorter maturities would result in an increase in net interest income while a positive gap within shorter maturities would have the opposite effect. As of December 31, 1999, the amount of the Savings Bank's interest-bearing liabilities that were estimated to mature or reprice within one year exceeded the Savings Bank's interest-earning assets with the same characteristics by $31.2 million or 15.7% of the Savings Bank's total assets. The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System raised the discount rate on February 2, 2000 and there is a possibility that the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System will raise the discount rate charged to member banks further during 2000, and thus interest rates within the United States' economy will rise. The Savings Bank's net income could be negatively affected by such increases in the discount rate. In addition, ALCO reviews, among other things, the sensitivity of the Savings Bank's assets, liabilities, and net interest income to interest rate changes, unrealized gains and losses, purchase activity and maturities of all interest bearing assets and liabilities. In connection therewith, the ALCO generally reviews and manages the Savings Bank's liquidity, cash flow needs, capital planning, maturities of investments, deposits and borrowings, current market conditions and interest rates, and pricing of its deposit and loan products. The Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and President of the Savings Bank have authority to adjust pricing weekly with respect to the Savings Bank's retail deposits. The Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS") requires all regulated thrift institutions to calculate the estimated change in the Bank's net portfolio value (NPV) assuming instantaneous, parallel shifts in the Treasury yield curve of 100 to 300 basis points either up or down in 100 basis point increments. The NPV is defined as the present value of expected cash flows from existing assets less the present value of expected cash flows from existing liabilities plus the present value of net expected cash inflows from existing off-balance sheet contracts. The OTS provides all institutions that file a schedule entitled the Consolidated Maturity & Rate Schedule ("CMR") as a part of their quarterly Thrift Financial Report with an interest rate sensitivity report of NPV. The OTS simulation model uses a discounted cash flow analysis and an option-based pricing approach to measuring the interest rate sensitivity of NPV. The OTS model estimates the economic value of each type of asset, liability and off-balance sheet contract under the assumption that the Treasury yield curve shifts instantaneous and parallel up and down 100 to 300 basis points in 100 basis points increments. The OTS allows savings associations under $500 million in total assets to use the results of their interest rate sensitivity model, which is based on information provided by the savings association, to estimate the sensitivity of NPV. The OTS model utilizes an option-based pricing approach to estimate the sensitivity of mortgage loans. The most significant embedded option in these types of assets is the prepayment option of the borrowers. The OTS model uses various price indications and prepayment assumptions to estimate sensitivity of mortgage loans. In the OTS model, the value of deposit accounts appears on the asset and liability side of the NPV analysis. In estimating the value of certificate of deposit accounts, the liability portion of the CD is represented by the implied value when comparing the difference between the CD face rate and available wholesale CD rates. On the asset side of the NPV calculation, the value of the "customer relationship" due to the rollover of retail CD deposits represents an intangible asset in the NPV calculation. Other deposit accounts such as transaction accounts, money market deposit accounts, passbook accounts, and non-interest bearing accounts also are included on the asset and liability side of the NPV calculation in the OTS model. The accounts are valued at 100% of the respective account balances on the liability side. On the assets side of the analysis, the value of the "customer relationship" of the various types of deposit accounts is reflected as a deposit intangible. The NPV sensitivity of borrowed funds is estimated by the OTS model based on a discounted cash flow approach. The cash flows are assumed to consist of monthly interest payments with principal paid at maturity. The following table presents the Savings Bank's NPV as of December 31, 1999, as calculated by the OTS in accordance with its model, based on information provided to the OTS by the Savings Bank. The chart does not 13 15 include the impact of any interest or dividend earning assets held at the Company level. The effect of market rate shifts on these assets need not be reported to the OTS.

- --------------- (1) Represents the excess (deficiency) of the estimated NPV assuming the indicated change in interest rates minus the estimated NPV assuming no change in interest rates. (2) Calculated as the amount of change in the estimated NPV divided by the estimated NPV assuming no change in interest rates. (3) Calculated as the estimated NPV divided by the present value of the Savings Bank's assets. (4) Calculated as the excess (deficiency) of the NPV ratio assuming the indicated change in interest rates over the estimated NPV ratio assuming no change in interest rates. Certain shortcomings are inherent in the methodology used in the above interest rate risk measurements. Modeling changes in NPV require the making of certain assumptions that may or may not reflect the manner in which actual yields and costs respond to changes in market interest rates. In this regard, the NPV model presented assumes that the composition of the Savings Bank's interest sensitive assets and liabilities existing at the beginning of a period remains constant over the period being measured and also assumes that a particular change in interest rates is reflected uniformly across the yield curve regardless of the duration to maturity or repricing of specific assets and liabilities. Accordingly, although the NPV measurements and net interest income models provide an indication of the Savings Bank's interest rate risk exposure at a particular point in time, such measurements are not intended to and do not provide a precise forecast of the effect of changes in market interest rates on the Savings Bank's net interest income and will differ from actual results. Based upon the above calculations, the percent change of estimated NPV for a 200 basis point increase in prevailing rates changed from a negative 17 at December 31, 1998 to a negative 51 at December 31, 1999. In addition, after a 200 basis point increase in prevailing rates, the resulting NPV ("Post-Shock Ratio") was 3.53% and the change in the NPV ("Sensitivity Measure") was -337 basis points at December 31, 1999. This compares to an 8.33% post-shock ratio and a -128 basis point sensitivity measure at December 31, 1998. The increase in interest rate risk at December 31, 1999 compared to the prior year was primarily a result of rising market rates throughout 1999, increases in longer-term fixed-rate mortgages and growth in short-term interest-bearing liabilities. ALCO realizes the importance in managing interest rate risk and has implemented a plan to reduce interest rate risk. Specific methods included in the plan are: increasing capital through current earnings; managing asset growth; less reliance on thirty-year fixed-rate mortgage originations; increased emphasis on variable-rate commercial loans; refinancing short-term interest-bearing liabilities with longer-term structures; and developing an adjustable-rate mortgage product. Management will continue to review the NPV and Interest Rate Risk ("IRR") measurements and make necessary strategic decisions to manage interest rate risk effectively. 14 16 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AVERAGE BALANCES, INTEREST INCOME, INTEREST EXPENSE AND YIELDS EARNED AND RATES PAID.

The Savings Bank typically acquires funds in the form of customer deposits or borrowings from the FHLB of Pittsburgh in which it is a member. The Savings Bank then pays interest on such deposits and advances. In turn, a savings association will lend these funds to third parties or purchase investment securities that generate interest income for the savings association. The Savings Bank also operates in an environment of changing interest rates and fluctuating volumes of deposits, advances from third parties, loans made to third parties and securities bought, sold or repaid. The following table describes the extent to which 15 17 changes in interest rates and changes in volume of interest-related assets and liabilities have affected the Company's consolidated interest income and expense during the periods indicated. For each category of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, information is provided on changes attributable to (i) changes in volume (change in volume multiplied by prior year rate), (ii) changes in rate (change in rate multiplied by prior year volume), and (iii) total change in rate and volume.

NET INCOME. The Company reported consolidated net income of $851,000, $743,000 and $784,000 for the fiscal years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The $108,000 or 14.5% increase in net income for fiscal 1999 when compared to fiscal 1998 was attributable to an increase of $676,000 or 13.6% increase in net interest income and a $267,000 or 52.3% increase in fees and service charges which was partially offset by a $619,000 or 15.1% increase in non-interest expense and an increase of $229,000 in provision for loan losses, The $41,000 or 5.2% decrease in net income for fiscal 1998 when compared to fiscal 1997 was attributable to a $974,000 or 31.2% increase in non-interest expense and an increase of $105,000 in provision for loan losses, which was partially offset by an increase of $856,000 or 20.7% increase in net interest income and a $162,000 or 43.5% increase in other income. NET INTEREST INCOME. Net interest income before provision for loan losses amounted to $5.7 million during fiscal 1999, compared to $5.0 million during fiscal 1998 and compared to $4.1 million during fiscal 1997. During fiscal 1999, the $676,000 or 13.6%, increase in net interest income compared with fiscal 1998 was primarily attributable to an increase in loan originations. Average balances of interest-earning assets increased $21.9 million, or 13.6% while average interest-bearing liabilities increased $22.7 million, or 15.3%. The increase in both average assets and liabilities was due directly to management's intent to leverage the Company's excess capital by funding the growth in assets, particularly loans, with deposits and FHLB advances. The growth in average balances on interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, during fiscal 1999, were the primary reasons for the increased interest income of $1.5 million or 13.0% and increased interest expense of $847,000 or 12.7%, respectively. The $1.5 million increase in total interest income during the year ended December 31, 1999 over the prior comparable period was primarily due to a $1.9 million or 21.8% increase in interest and fees on loans which was partially offset by a $503,000 or 23.5% reduction in interest and dividends on other investment securities. The increase in interest earned on loans and interest and dividends on other investment securities during fiscal 1999 was primarily due to a rise in average balances of loans receivable of $26.3 million or 23.5%. Management continued to grow its traditional one-to-four family residential loans from $81.3 million at December 31, 1998 to $96.2 million at December 31, 1999. In addition, management was able to grow its commercial business and real 16 18 estate loans from $18.7 million and $7.6 million at December 31, 1998, respectively, to $20.9 million and $16.1 million at December 31, 1999, respectively. The increase in interest expense in 1999, compared with 1998, was primarily a result of an increase in the Savings Bank's average interest bearing liabilities from $148.5 million to $171.2 million. This increase resulted from an increased volume of average deposits of $17.8 million or 17.9% and a $4.9 million or 10.0% increase in average borrowings. The increase in average borrowings was due to funding the growth in assets, primarily loans, of the Company. Net interest income before provision for loan losses amounted to $5.0 million during fiscal 1998, compared to $4.1 million during fiscal 1997. During fiscal 1998, the $856,000 or 20.7%, increase in net interest income compared with fiscal 1997 was attributable to an increase in loan originations and investment purchases. Average balances of interest-earning assets increased $30.8 million, or 23.7% while average interest-bearing liabilities increased $31.3 million, or 26.7%. The increase in both average assets and liabilities was due directly to management's intent to leverage the Company's excess capital by funding the accelerated growth in assets with primarily FHLB advances. Another contributing factor was an increase in the average yield earned on interest- earning assets to 7.26% in 1998 from 7.21% in 1997, due primarily to increases in average yields earned on loans receivable. The increases in both average balances and average yields on earning assets, during fiscal 1998, increased interest income $2.3 million, or 24.6%, which was partially offset by a $1.4 million or 27.8% increase in total interest expense. The $2.3 million increase in total interest income during the year ended December 31, 1998 over the prior comparable period was primarily due to a $1.9 million or 28.0% increase in interest and fees on loans and a $431,000 or 25.3%, increase in interest and dividends on other investment securities. The increase in interest earned on loans and interest and dividends on other investment securities during fiscal 1998 was primarily due to a rise in average balances of loans receivable and on investment securities of $22.5 million, or 25.2%, and $7.9 million, or 30.3%, respectively. Management continued to grow its traditional one-to-four family residential loans from $72.2 million at December 31, 1997 to $81.3 million at December 31, 1998, but in addition was able to grow its commercial business loans from $9.6 million at December 31, 1997 to $18.7 million at December 31, 1998. In addition, an increase in the average yield earned on loans receivable from 7.60% in 1997 to 7.77% in 1998 accounted for a portion of the increase in interest income. The increase in interest expense in 1998, compared with 1997, was primarily a result of an increase in the Savings Bank's average interest bearing liabilities from $117.2 million to $148.5 million. This increase resulted from an increased volume of average deposits of $10.7 million or 12.1% and a $20.6 million or 72.1% increase in average borrowings. The increase in average borrowings was due to funding the accelerated growth in assets of the Company. PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES. For the year ended December 31, 1999, the provision for loan losses was $438,000. For the two years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, provisions for loan losses were $209,000 and $104,000, respectively. The increase in provision for loan losses of $229,000 for fiscal 1999 when compared to fiscal 1998 was primarily a result of growth in commercial business and commercial real estate loans which have higher reserve factors than other types of loans. The Savings Bank establishes a provision for loan losses which is charged to operations. The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level which is deemed to be appropriate based upon a comprehensive methodology and procedural discipline that is updated on a monthly basis. This methodology includes: - A detailed review of all criticized and impaired loans to determine if any specific reserve allocations are required on an individual loan basis. The specific reserve established for these criticized and impaired loans is based on careful analysis of the loan's performance, the related collateral value, cash flow considerations and the financial capability of any guarantor. - The application of reserve allocations to all outstanding loans and certain unfunded commitments is based upon review of historical losses and qualitative factors, which include but are not limited to, economic trends, delinquencies, concentrations of credit, trends in loan volume, experience and depth of manage- 17 19 ment, examination and audit results, effects of any changes in lending policies and trends in policy exceptions. - The application of reserve allocations for all commercial and commercial real estate loans are calculated by using a risk rating system. Risk ratings are assigned to all loans based upon an internal review. There are ten risk ratings, and each rating has a corresponding reserve factor that is used to calculate the required reserve. - The maintenance of a general unallocated reserve occurs in order to provide conservative positioning and protection against unknown events or circumstances that have occurred, but have not yet been identified by the Savings Bank through its credit administration process. It must be emphasized that a general unallocated reserve is prudent recognition of the fact that reserve estimates, by definition, lack precision. After completion of this process, evaluation of the adequacy of the reserve and the establishment of the provision level for the next month are performed. The Corporation believes that the procedural discipline, systematic methodology and documentation of this monthly process provide appropriate support for accounting purposes. When it is determined that the prospects for recovery of the principal of a loan have significantly diminished, the loan is immediately charged against the allowance account; subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance account. In addition, non-accrual, delinquent loans greater than sixty days and problem loans are reviewed monthly to determine potential losses. Generally, consumer loans are considered losses when they are 180 days past due. The Savings Bank's management is unable to determine in what loan category future charge-offs and recoveries may occur. Therefore, the entire allowance for loan losses is available to absorb future loan losses in any loan category. During fiscal 1999, the Savings Bank charged off $26,000 in consumer loans. Although management utilizes its best judgment in providing for losses, there can be no assurance that the Savings Bank will not have to increase its provision for loan losses in the future as a result of increases in higher risk commercial and consumer loans, future changes in the economy or for other adverse reasons that are discovered from the comprehensive methodology described above. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Savings Bank's provision for loan losses and the carrying value of its other non-performing assets based on their judgments from information available at the time of their examination. The OTS last examined the Savings Bank as of March 31, 1999. Management and the directors of the Company and the Savings Bank believe that the allowance for loan losses is currently adequate. OTHER INCOME. Total other income amounted to $870,000 for the year ended December 31, 1999, an increase of $336,000 or 62.9% from the $534,000 earned in fiscal 1998. Increased transaction fees of $266,000 primarily accounted for the rise in total other income. The increase in transaction fees occurred due to an increase in transaction accounts, which include interest bearing and non-interest bearing checking accounts, from $17.5 million at December 31, 1998 to $21.0 million at December 31, 1999. The additional transaction fees have resulted in increased costs due to higher employee manhours to administer such transactions. In addition, other income benefited from a $73,000 gain on sale of investments during fiscal 1999 as compared to a $7,000 loss on sale of investments during fiscal 1998. Total other income amounted to $534,000 for the year ended December 31, 1998, an increase of $162,000 or 43.5% from the $372,000 earned in fiscal 1997. Increased transaction fees accounted primarily for the rise in total other income. The increase in transaction fees occurred due to an increase in transaction accounts, which include interest-bearing and non-interest bearing checking accounts, from $13.9 million at December 31, 1997 to $17.5 million at December 31, 1998. The additional transaction fees have resulted in increased costs due to higher employee man-hours to administer such transactions. OTHER EXPENSES. Total other expenses amounted to $4.7 million for the year ended December 31, 1999, an increase of $619,000 or 15.1% from the $4.1 million incurred in fiscal 1998. One of the reasons for the increase was a $455,000 or 22.5% increase in salaries and employee benefits. This was attributable to a one-time charge of $112,000 in connection with the fourth quarter retirement of former Savings Bank and Company President Robert S. Zyla due to a physical disability, an additional employee hired for operations due to increased services provided by the Corporation, an additional employee hired for commercial loan expansion, and approved salary 18 20 and bonus increases for its existing employees. Another reason for the increase in other expenses was a rise in premises and occupancy costs of $54,000 or 10.2% primarily due to higher depreciation expenses associated with furniture and equipment. Lastly, transaction processing costs rose $55,000 or 21.7% during 1999. The rise in transaction processing costs was primarily the result of the growth in transaction accounts and the associated costs of administering these types of accounts. Total other expenses amounted to $4.1 million for the year ended December 31, 1998, an increase of $974,000 or 23.8% from the $3.1 million incurred in fiscal 1997. One of the reasons for the increase was a $455,000 or 29.0% increase in salaries and employee benefits. This was attributable to the hiring of four full time equivalent employees to staff the Elizabeth Township branch, a full year of six full time equivalent employees at our Washington supermarket branch, an increase of $46,000 in costs associated with the Management Recognition and Retention plan, an increase in expenses related to commercial loan administration, and salary increases for its existing employees. The increase was also attributable to a rise in premises and occupancy costs of $197,000 or 59.2% primarily due to the higher depreciation expenses associated with furniture and equipment needed for the expansion of the corporate office and the two new branch locations. Lastly, the increase was caused by other expenses, which increased $166,000 or 29.3% during 1998. The rise in other expenses was primarily the result of increased consulting expenses as the Company had outsourced some job functions and increased general operating expenses. INCOME TAXES. For the fiscal years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, the Company incurred income tax expense of $528,000, $473,000 and $493,000. The effective tax rate was 38.3% during the year ended December 31, 1999, compared to 38.9% during the year ended 1998, and 38.6% in fiscal 1997. The increased income tax expense incurred in 1999 was due to increased taxable income. For further information, see Note 11 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Cash flows are categorized as to whether they relate to the operating, investing or financing activities of the Company or the Savings Bank. Cash flow from operating activities includes net income plus or minus non-cash income statement items. Cash flow from investing activities includes proceeds from the sale or maturity of investment securities, principal payments collected on loans and mortgage-backed and related securities, loan originations and purchases of investments and mortgage-backed and related securities. Cash flow from financing activities includes the increase or decrease in deposits, borrowings and escrows. During the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, the Company's operating activities provided net cash of approximately $1.9 million and $890,000, respectively. The $1.9 million net cash provided during the year ended December 31, 1999 was primarily due to $851,000 in net income, $438,000 in provision for loan losses, and $344,000 in depreciation of premises and equipment. The $890,000 net cash provided during the year ended December 31, 1998 was primarily due to $743,000 in net income, $209,000 in provision for loan losses, and $306,000 in depreciation of premises and equipment, which was partially offset by a $398,000 increase in other assets. The primary reasons for the $1.5 million net cash provided during the year ended December 31, 1997 were $784,000 in net income, a $287,000 increase in other liabilities, and $189,000 in depreciation of premises and equipment, which was partially offset by a $222,000 increase in accrued interest receivable. Net cash used by investing activities was $29.4 million for the year ended December 31, 1999. The primary reason for the $29.4 million net cash used by investing activities was that the Savings Bank originated $27.5 million in new loans in excess of principal payments received on existing loans. During the year ended December 31, 1998, the Savings Bank originated $27.9 million in new loans in excess of principal payments received on existing loans. The Savings Bank purchased $16.7 million of investment and mortgage-backed securities designated held to maturity due to their longer term maturity structure and purchased $6.7 million of investment and mortgage-backed securities designated available for sale. In addition, $17.0 and $5.6 million held to maturity and available for sale securities, respectively, were called during fiscal 1998. Net cash used by investing activities was $28.1 million for the year ended December 31, 1997. During the year ended December 31, 1997, the Savings Bank originated $19.7 million in new loans in excess of principal payments received on existing loans and purchased $17.7 million of investment securities designated held to maturity due to 19 21 their longer term maturity structure. In addition, $8.5 million held to maturity securities were called during fiscal 1997. Net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 1999, was $22.5 million, attributable to increases in core deposits and certificate accounts of $8.9 million and $1.9 million, respectively, and increases in net Federal Home Loan Bank advances of $12.0 million. This was partially offset by cash dividends paid of $236,000 and treasury stock purchases of $85,000. Net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 1998, was $32.8 million, attributable to increases in core deposits and certificate accounts of $8.4 million and $10.1 million, respectively, and increases in net Federal Home Loan Bank advances of $16.3 million. In addition, the Company purchased $1.4 million of treasury stock during fiscal 1998. During the same period for 1997, the Savings Bank experienced a $26.7 million increase in net cash provided by financing activities primarily due to increases in core deposits and certificate accounts of $5.2 million and $2.1 million, respectively, and increases in net Federal Home Loan Bank advances of $20.2 million. The primary sources of funds for the Savings Bank are deposits, advances from the FHLB of Pittsburgh, repayments, prepayments and maturities of outstanding loans and mortgage-backed securities, maturities of investment securities and other short-term investments, and funds provided from operations. The primary sources of funds for the Company are dividends from the Savings Bank, repayments by the ESOP of the loan it received from the Company, loan repayments from officer for loan made by the Company, interest and dividends on debt and equity investments in other companies and interest earned on deposits of the Company held at Savings Bank and short-term investments. While scheduled loan and mortgage-backed securities repayments and maturing investment securities and short-term investments are relatively predictable sources of funds, deposit flows, loan and mortgage-backed securities prepayments, and investment securities with callable features are greatly influenced by the movement of interest rates in general, economic conditions or competition. The Savings Bank manages the pricing of its deposits to maintain a deposit balance deemed appropriate and desirable by its Asset/Liability Committee ("ALCO"). In addition, the Savings Bank invests in short-term interest-earning assets, which provides liquidity to meet lending requirements. The Savings Bank has also utilized advances from the FHLB of Pittsburgh. At December 31, 1999, the Savings Bank's maximum borrowing capacity with the FHLB of Pittsburgh was $106.2 million of which $63.0 million was borrowed pursuant to various term loans with maturities of less than ten years. Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term function. Excess liquidity is generally invested in short-term investments such as cash and cash equivalents, interest bearing deposits with other institutions (including the FHLB of Pittsburgh), U.S. Government, U.S. Government agencies and other qualified investments. On a longer-term basis, the Company, through the operation of the Savings Bank, maintains a strategy of investing in various mortgage-backed securities and other investment securities and lending products as described in greater detail under the heading "Business of the Company," which is hereinafter set forth. During the year ended December 31, 1999, the Savings Bank used its sources of funds primarily to meet its ongoing commitments to pay maturing savings certificates and savings withdrawals, to fund loan commitments, to fund purchases of additional investment securities for its portfolio and to increase the Savings Bank's one-to-four family mortgage loan, commercial loan and consumer loan portfolios. The Savings Bank has outstanding loan commitments (i.e. one-to-four family and home equity loan commitments, credit card limits and commercial loan commitments) to extend credit approximating $10.6 million as of December 31, 1999. Certificates of deposit scheduled to mature in one year or less at December 31, 1999 totaled $39.2 million. Consolidated cash and cash equivalents decreased by $5.0 million between December 31, 1998 and December 31, 1999. As of December 31, 1999, the consolidated cash and cash equivalents of the Company amounted to $5.2 million or 2.6% of assets, of which $3.8 million was invested in interest bearing accounts with the FHLB of Pittsburgh withdrawable on demand. The investment securities (including mortgage-backed securities) of the Company and the Savings Bank was $35.3 million or 17.6% of assets at December 31, 1999. As of December 31, 1999, $1.6 million of such investment securities (including mortgage-backed securities) of the Company and the Savings Bank mature within one year or less and $5.2 million have maturities of one to five years. The Company's consolidated net interest margin remained at 3.10% for the year ended December 31, 1999 compared to the same period in 1998. 20 22 Consolidated cash and cash equivalents increased by $7.9 million between December 31, 1997 and December 31, 1998. As of December 31, 1998, the consolidated cash and cash equivalents of the Company amounted to $10.2 million or 5.7% of assets, of which $9.1 million was invested in interest bearing accounts with the FHLB of Pittsburgh withdrawable on demand. The investment securities (including mortgage-backed securities) of the Company and the Savings Bank decreased from $38.8 million or 27.1% of total assets at December 31, 1997 to $35.4 million or 19.9% of assets at December 31, 1998. As of December 31, 1998, $1.3 million of such investment securities (including mortgage-backed securities) of the Company and the Savings Bank mature within one year or less and $6.5 million have maturities of five years or less. The Company's consolidated net interest margin decreased from 3.18% for the year ended December 31, 1997 to 3.10% for the year ended December 31, 1998. Consolidated cash and cash equivalents increased by $65,000 or 3.0% between December 31, 1996 and December 31, 1997. As of December 31, 1997, the consolidated cash and cash equivalents of the Company amounted to $2.2 million or 1.5% of assets, of which $1.3 million was invested in interest bearing accounts with the FHLB of Pittsburgh withdrawable on demand. The investment securities (including mortgage-backed securities) of the Company and the Savings Bank had an increase in dollar amount over the last few years, from $31.9 million or 27.8% of total assets at December 31, 1996 to $38.8 million or 27.1% of assets at December 31, 1997. As of December 31, 1997, $3.1 million of such investment securities (including mortgage-backed securities) of the Company and the Savings Bank mature within one year or less and $8.0 million have maturities of five years or less. The Company's consolidated net interest margin increased from 3.15% for the year ended December 31, 1996 to 3.18% for the year ended December 31, 1997. Management of the Savings Bank believes that the Savings Bank has adequate resources, including principal prepayments and repayments of loans, mortgage-backed securities and maturing investments and access to loans from the FHLB of Pittsburgh, to fund all of its commitments to the extent required and to maintain flexibility to meet other market changes. Management believes that a significant portion of maturing deposits will remain with the Savings Bank. See Note 8 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The Savings Bank is required by the OTS to maintain average daily balances of liquid assets (as defined in OTS regulations) in an amount equal to 4.0% of net withdrawable deposits and borrowings payable in one year or less to assure its ability to meet demand for withdrawals and repayment 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 Savings Bank's average monthly liquidity ratio at December 31, 1999 was 32.6%. The Company, as a separately incorporated holding company, has no significant operations other than serving as sole stockholder of the Savings Bank. On an unconsolidated basis, the Company has no paid employees. At December 31, 1999, the Company's assets consist of its investment in the Savings Bank, its receivable from the ESOP, an officer loan totaling $236,000, debt and equity investments with an aggregate market value of $1.1 million at December 31, 1999, other assets of $143,000 and deposits maintained with the Savings Bank. At December 31, 1999, the Company had borrowed $150,000 from the Savings Bank to support cash levels. The loan is adequately secured in accordance with applicable law. Its sources of income will consist of earnings from the investment in such debt and equity securities, interest on such deposits and interest from the ESOP obligation and officer loan. The only expenses of the Company relate to its reporting obligations to the OTS, its reporting obligations under the Exchange Act and related expenses to operate as a publicly traded company. Management believes that the Company and the Savings Bank currently have adequate liquidity available to respond to its obligations. IMPACT OF INFLATION AND CHANGING PRICES The Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company and related notes presented herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States which require 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 21 23 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 prices 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 consolidated assets and liabilities are critical to the maintenance of acceptable performance levels. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") has issued SFAS 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," which establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and hedging activities. As amended by SFAS 137, the standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000, and will be adopted by the Company for the year ended December 31, 2001. The impact of adoption is not expected to materially affect the Company's financial condition or results of operations. EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE The Company follows SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share." Under SFAS No. 128, earnings per share are classified as basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share includes only the weighted average common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share includes the weighted average common shares outstanding and any dilutive common stock equivalent shares in the calculation. Treasury shares are treated as retired for earnings per share purposes. The following table reflects the calculation of earnings per share under SFAS No. 128.

- --------------- (1) On April 15, 1998, the Board of Directors declared a stock dividend of 15% to shareholders of record of June 2, 1998 which was paid on June 19, 1998. In addition, on February 17, 1999, the Board of Directors declared a stock dividend of 5% to shareholders of record of March 2, 1999 which was paid on March 19, 1999. All per share data have been restated to reflect the stock dividends. Options to purchase 94,826 and 14,315 shares of common stock were outstanding during fiscal 1999 and 1998, respectively, but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per common share as the option's exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common stock for the respective periods. There were no options excluded in the computation of diluted earnings per common share during fiscal 1997. BUSINESS OF THE COMPANY GENERAL The Company is a savings and loan holding company that holds the capital stock of one subsidiary, the Savings Bank. As of December 31, 1999, the Company also owns a loan receivable from the ESOP, an officer loan totaling $236,000, holds debt and equity investments with a market value totaling $1.1 million at December 31, 1999, other assets of $143,000 and maintains deposit accounts with the Savings Bank. At 22 24 December 31, 1999, the Company had borrowed $150,000 from the Savings Bank to support cash levels. The loan is adequately secured in accordance with applicable law. The principal business operations of the Company are conducted through the Savings Bank. LENDING ACTIVITIES GENERAL. The Savings Bank's lending operations follow the traditional pattern of primarily emphasizing the origination of one-to-four family residential loans for portfolio retention. However, since 1996, the Savings Bank has begun to expand its loan products by emphasizing other types of lending in order to meet its customer's demands. These include commercial business loans, commercial real estate loans, construction loans, and consumer loans, including home equity or home improvement loans, automobile loans, student loans, credit card loans, cash collateral personal loans and unsecured personal loans. At December 31, 1999, the Savings Bank's total loan portfolio amounted to $153.2 million, or 76.4% of total assets at that date. The Savings Bank has traditionally concentrated its lending activities on one-to-four family residential mortgages in its primary market. Consistent with its lending orientation, $96.2 million or 62.8% of the Savings Bank's total loan portfolio consisted of one-to-four family residential loans at December 31, 1999. Management intends that one-to-four family residential mortgage loans will be the primary lending activity of the Savings Bank but the percentage of one-to-four family mortgages against the total loan portfolio will not be as high as it was at December 31, 1997 which was 73.3%. Although one-to-four family residential mortgages advanced by the Savings Bank have increased from $72.2 million at December 31, 1997, to $81.3 million at December 31, 1998, to $96.2 million at December 31, 1999, the percentage of one-to-four family mortgages to total loan portfolio has dropped from 73.3% at December 31, 1997, to 64.7% at December 31, 1998 to 62.8% at December 31, 1999. This decline in percentage can be traced to the increases in commercial business loans, construction loans, and consumer loans originated in 1998 and 1999. Management is committed to aggressively market the residential mortgage products of the Savings Bank, but management does not intend to pursue a policy to return the Savings Bank's loan portfolio to a position where one-to-four family mortgages account for 70% or more of the total loan portfolio. Consumer loans, which are of shorter maturity and at higher margins above cost of funds, have risen from $12.8 million at December 31, 1997, to $15.7 million at December 31, 1998, to $17.3 million at December 31, 1999. Each of the foregoing figures shows gross loan receivables with no allocation for bad debt reserve or other contra accounts. Management decided to increase home equity loans primarily because this type of loan is secured by real estate through a first or second lien. As a result, home equity loans have risen from $7.5 million at December 31, 1997, to $9.8 million at December 31, 1998 to $10.9 million at December 31, 1999. Management has also sought through the promotion of automobile, student and credit card loans to increase consumer loans. However, the growth of consumer loans has not kept pace with the growth of the loan portfolio as a whole. The percentage of consumer loans against total loan receivables went from 13.0% at December 31, 1997, to 12.5% at December 31, 1998, to 11.3% at December 31, 1999. Management is committed to increase consumer loan balances. The Savings Bank is pursuing a policy to further grow its commercial business loan and commercial real estate loan portfolio. Commercial business loans and commercial real estate loans have risen from $11.0 million at December 31, 1997, to $26.3 million at December 31, 1998, to $37.0 million at December 31, 1999. Management is committed to increase commercial business and commercial real estate loans. Each of the foregoing figures shows gross loan receivables with no allocation for bad debt reserve or other contra accounts. The percentage of commercial business loans and commercial real estate loans against total loans receivable has changed from 11.2% at December 31, 1997, to 21.0% at December 31, 1998 to 24.1% at December 31, 1999. By statute, the Savings Bank must limit its commercial business loans to 20% of its total assets provided that amounts in excess of 10% of total assets may be used only for small business loans. As of December 31, 1999, the total asset size of the Savings Bank was $199.2 million and 20% of such number is $39.8 million and 10% of such number is $19.9 million. At December 31, 1999, the Savings Bank had $20.9 million in commercial business loans of which $8.4 million was considered small business loans. The statutory ceiling on commercial 23 25 real estate loans is substantially higher, i.e. 400% of the Savings Bank's capital, or at December 31, 1999, $54.1 million. At December 31, 1999 the Savings Bank had $16.1 million in commercial real estate loans. Management intends to continue to pursue commercial loans that carry a partial U.S. Government guarantee of the payment of principal and interest. Included in the Savings Bank's loan portfolio at December 31, 1999 are $8.7 million of commercial loans that are 80% guaranteed by the United States Government. The Savings Bank's primary market area consists of southern and southwestern portions of Allegheny County and, to a lesser extent, Washington and Westmoreland Counties. The Savings Bank's residential mortgage loans are primarily secured by properties located in Pennsylvania, and a substantial portion of the real estate mortgage loans are secured by properties located within the Savings Bank's primary market area. LOAN PORTFOLIO COMPOSITION. The following table sets forth the composition of the Savings Bank's loan portfolio by type of loan at the dates indicated.

The following table sets forth the scheduled contractual maturities of the Savings Bank's loan portfolio at December 31, 1999. Demand loans, loans having no stated schedule of repayments and 24 26 no stated maturity and overdraft loans are reported as due in one year or less. The amounts shown for each period do not take into account loan prepayments and normal amortization of the Savings Bank's loan portfolio.

- --------------- (1) Includes construction loans of $2.0 million for the construction of one-to-four family homes. At the completion of the construction period (scheduled to be less than one year), the loans will convert automatically to a traditional mortgage with maturities in excess of five years. (2) Includes a construction loan of $750,000 for the construction of a commercial real estate property. At the completion of the construction period (scheduled to be less than one year), the loan will convert to a commercial real estate mortgage with a maturity of four years. Scheduled contractual repayment of loans does not reflect the expected term of the Savings Bank's loan portfolio. The expected average life of loans is substantially less than their contractual terms because of scheduled amortization of principal, prepayments and due-on-sale clauses, which give the Savings Bank the right to declare a conventional loan immediately due and payable in the event, among other things, that the borrower sells the real property subject to the mortgage and the loan is not repaid. The average life of mortgage loans tends to increase when current mortgage loan rates are higher than rates on existing mortgage loans and, conversely, decrease when rates on existing mortgage loans are lower than current mortgage loan rates (due to refinancings of adjustable-rate and fixed-rate loans at lower rates). Under the latter circumstance, the weighted average yield on loans decreases as higher-yielding loans are repaid or refinanced at lower rates. 25 27 LOAN ORIGINATION, PURCHASE AND SALES ACTIVITY. The following table shows the loan origination, purchase and sale activity of the Savings Bank during the periods indicated.

Applications for residential mortgage and consumer loans are taken at any of the Savings Bank's offices, while commercial business loan, commercial real estate loan and construction loan applications are referred to the appropriate loan officer of the Savings Bank. Residential mortgage loan applications are primarily developed from referrals from real estate brokers and builders, existing customers and walk-in customers. Commercial real estate loan and construction loan applications are obtained primarily from previous borrowers as well as referrals. Commercial loan applications arise primarily from referrals. The Savings Bank's lending policies allow all one-to-four residential mortgage loans $75,000 or less to be approved with two signatures of the Chief Executive Officer, President, and/or the Chief Financial Officer. One-to-four residential mortgage loans in excess of $75,000 are presented to the Loan Committee that consists of members of management and two outside directors. The Chief Executive Officer has authority to authorize commercial loans up to and including $150,000. The Loan Committee has been authorized by the Board to grant loans up to $500,000, with loans in excess of this amount required to be presented to the full Board for review and approval. It has been the policy of the Savings Bank's management to present all mortgage loans which are not single-family residential loans to the Loan Committee and/or the Board of Directors for review and approval, and to have the Board of Directors review any loan application which would exceed $500,000. Under applicable regulations, the maximum amount of loans that the Savings Bank may make to any one borrower, including related entities, is limited to 15% of unimpaired capital and surplus, which the legal lending limit amounted to $2.0 million at December 31, 1999. The Savings Bank currently is not a purchaser of residential or consumer loans. There are no current intentions to begin purchasing such loans. The Savings Bank had previously purchased loan participations secured primarily by commercial real estate located in Pennsylvania and Ohio. Such loans were presented to the Savings Bank from contacts at other financial institutions that have previously done business with the Savings 26 28 Bank. At December 31, 1999, one of the Savings Bank's commercial real estate loans was 50% participated by another lender. This loan totaled $1.6 million of which $800,000 was sold to the other lender. REAL ESTATE LENDING STANDARDS. Effective March 19, 1993, all financial institutions were required to adopt and maintain comprehensive written real estate lending policies that are consistent with safe and sound banking practices. These lending policies must reflect consideration of the Interagency Guidelines or Real Estate Lending Policies adopted by the Federal banking agencies in December 1992 ("Real Estate Lending Guidelines"). The Real Estate Lending Guidelines set forth uniform regulations prescribing standards for real estate lending. Real estate lending is defined as the extension of credit secured by liens on interests in real estate or made for the purpose of financing the construction of a building or other improvements to real estate, regardless of whether a lien has been taken on the property. The policies must address certain lending considerations set forth in the Real Estate Lending Guidelines, including loan-to-value ("LTV") limits, loan administration procedures, underwriting standards, portfolio diversification standards, and documentation, approval and reporting requirements. These policies must also be appropriate to the size of the institution and the nature and scope of its operations, and must be reviewed and approved by the institution's board of directors at least annually. The LTV ratio framework, with a LTV ratio being the total amount of credit to be extended divided by the appraised value of the property at the time the credit is originated, must be established for each category of real estate loans. If not a first lien, the lender must combine all senior liens when calculating this ratio. The Real Estate Lending Guidelines, among other things, establish the following supervisory LTV limits: land development (75%); construction, commercial and non-residential (80%); improved property (80%) and one-to-four family residential (owner occupied) (no maximum ratio; however any LTV ratio in excess of 90% should require appropriate insurance or readily marketable collateral). Consistent with its lending philosophy, the Savings Bank's LTV limits are; construction (80%); land development (75%); residential properties (90% in the case of one-to-four family owner-occupied residences); and commercial real estate (75%). The Savings Bank requires private mortgage insurance on any residential conventional mortgage loan that exceeds a 90% LTV ratio. While the ratios reflected above reflect the range of desired LTV ratio coverages, the Savings Bank will evaluate each applicant and the collateral to secure the loan on a case-by-case basis. ONE-TO-FOUR FAMILY RESIDENTIAL REAL ESTATE LOANS. The Savings Bank has historically concentrated its lending activities on the origination of loans secured primarily by first mortgage liens on existing one-to-four family residences located within its market. At December 31, 1999, $96.2 million or 62.8% of the Savings Bank's total loan portfolio consisted of one-to-four family residential real estate loans, substantially all of which are conventional loans. The Savings Bank historically has and continues to emphasize the origination of fixed-rate mortgage loans with terms of up to 30 years and adjustable rate mortgage loans ("ARMs") up to 30 years which provide for periodic adjustments to the interest rate applicable to the loan. The ARMs currently held by the Savings Bank have up to 30-year terms and an interest rate which adjusts every one to five years in accordance with a designated index. Such loans have a 2% cap on any increase or decrease in the interest rate per period, and there is currently a limit of 4% to 6% on the amount that the interest rate can change over the life of the loan. To attract ARMs from time to time, the Savings Bank will offer initial interest rates below market loan rates. ARMs generally pose greater credit risk than fixed loans primarily because as interest rates rise, the required periodic payment by the borrower will rise, increasing the potential for default. At December 31, 1999, approximately $80.1 million or 83.3% of the one-to-four family residential loans in the Savings Bank's loan portfolio consisted of loans that provide for fixed rates of interest. Although these loans generally provide for repayments of principal over a fixed period of 5 to 30 years, it is the Savings Bank's experience that because of prepayments and due-on-sale clauses, such loans generally remain outstanding for a substantially shorter period of time. Independent appraisers approved by the Savings Bank's Board of Directors make property appraisals on the real estate and improvements securing the Savings Bank's one-to-four family residential loans. Appraisals are performed in accordance with Federal regulations and policies. The Savings Bank obtains title insurance policies on most first mortgage real estate loans it originates. If title insurance is not obtained or is unavailable, the 27 29 Savings Bank obtains an abstract of title and title opinion. Borrowers also must obtain hazard insurance prior to closing and flood insurance when required by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development as researched by a third party vendor. Borrowers are not required to escrow funds for real estate taxes but may elect to escrow funds with each monthly payment of principal and interest to a loan escrow account from which the Savings Bank makes disbursements for items such as real estate taxes as they become due. COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE LOANS. The Savings Bank originates mortgage loans for the acquisition and refinancing of commercial real estate properties (including multi-family complexes). At December 31, 1999, $16.1 million or 10.5% of the Savings Bank's total loan portfolio consisted of loans secured by existing commercial real estate properties. At December 31, 1999, the Savings Bank's commercial real estate loan portfolio consisted of thirty-eight loans with an average principal balance of approximately $423,000. The Savings Bank's commercial real estate loans are secured by apartment complexes, developed residential lots and small retail establishments primarily located in Pennsylvania. The Company requires appraisals of all properties. Appraisals are performed by an independent appraiser designated by the Company, all of which are reviewed by management. The Company considers the quality and location of the real estate, the credit of the borrower, the cash flow of the project and the quality of management involved with the property. Although terms vary, commercial real estate loans generally are amortized over a maximum period of 15 years. The Savings Bank originates these loans either with fixed interest rates or with interest rates that adjust in accordance with a designated index, which generally is negotiated at the time of origination. It is also the Savings Bank's general policy to obtain personal guarantees on its commercial real estate loans from the principals of the borrower and, when this cannot be obtained, to impose more stringent loan-to-value and other underwriting requirements. As of December 31, 1999 and 1998, the Savings Bank had $458,000 and $99,000 of non-performing commercial real estate loans, respectively. This constituted 2.85% and 1.30% of the commercial real estate loan category for December 31,1999 and 1998, respectively. See Delinquent Loans and Non-Performing Assets under the Asset Quality section for more details. COMMERCIAL BUSINESS LOANS. At December 31, 1999, $20.9 million or 13.7% of the Savings Bank's total loan portfolio consisted of loans classified as commercial business loans. The Savings Bank's commercial business loans can be secured or unsecured depending upon the size of the loan and the credit analysis by the Savings Bank of the potential borrower. Lines of credit in excess of $25,000 are generally secured by a pledge of accounts receivable and inventory. The Savings Bank's commercial loan portfolio consists of borrowers primarily located in Western Pennsylvania. Commercial business loans generally have shorter terms and higher interest rates than residential mortgage loans but generally involve more credit risk than residential mortgage loans because of the type and nature of the collateral and, in certain cases, the absence of collateral. Fixed equipment may depreciate in value quicker than the principal repayment of the loan. Accounts receivable may prove to be difficult or impossible to collect in sufficient amounts to repay a line of credit. Inventory may disappear due to loss or theft or may decline in value due to age or change in market conditions or technology. The Savings Bank's evaluation of the creditworthiness of a borrower, or the value of a borrower's collateral, may fail to fully assess the risk of the loan in question and lead to a loss. As of December 31, 1999 the Savings Bank had $131,000 of non-performing commercial business loans. This constituted .63% of the commercial business loan category for December 31,1999. In addition, there is one performing commercial business loan that represents a potential problem. At December 31, 1999, the balance outstanding of this loan was $346,000. In the opinion of management, the resolution of this potential loan problem will not have a material adverse effect on the Bank's financial position or results of operations. See Delinquent Loans and Non-Performing Assets under the Asset Quality section for more details. CONSTRUCTION LOANS. The Savings Bank will occasionally originate loans to construct primarily one-to-four family residences, and, to a much lesser extent, loans to acquire and develop real estate for construction of residential and commercial properties. These construction lending activities generally are limited to the Savings 28 30 Bank's primary market area. At December 31, 1999, $2.7 million or 1.8% of the Savings Bank's total loan portfolio consisted of loans classified as construction loans. Prior to making a commitment to fund a construction loan, the Savings Bank's policy requires an appraisal of the property by independent appraisers approved by the Board of Directors. The Savings Bank uses qualified appraisers on all of its construction loans. Designated employees of the Savings Bank also review and inspect each project at the commencement of construction. In addition, the project is inspected by designated inspectors of the Savings Bank prior to every disbursement of funds during the term of the construction loan. Such inspection includes a review for compliance with the construction plan, including materials specifications. Construction lending is generally considered to involve a higher level of risk as compared to one-to-four family residential lending for existing units, due to the concentration of principal in a limited number of loans and borrowers and the effects of general economic conditions on real estate developers and managers. Moreover, a construction loan can involve additional risks because of the inherent difficulty in estimating both a property's value at completion of the project and the estimated cost (including interest) of the project. The nature of these loans is such that they are generally more difficult to evaluate and monitor. The Savings Bank has adopted underwriting guidelines which impose stringent loan-to-value, debt service and other requirements for loans which are believed to involve higher elements of credit risk, by limiting the geographic area in which the Savings Bank will do business and by working with builders with whom it has established relationships or which have quality reputations. CONSUMER LOANS. The Savings Bank also offers automobile loans, home equity loans and lines of credit, student loans, deposit account secured loans and unsecured consumer loans. Automobile loans amounted to $2.4 million or 1.6% of the total loans receivable at December 31, 1999. Home equity loans and lines of credit amounted to $10.9 million or 7.1% of the total loans receivable at December 31, 1999. The student loan balance amounted to $2.4 million or 1.6% of the total loans receivable as of such date, deposit account secured loans had outstanding balances of $615,000 or .4% of total loans receivable as of such date and unsecured personal loans (including credit card balances outstanding) stood at $708,000 or .5% of total loans receivable as of such date. At December 31, 1999, there was one officer loan totaling $236,000 or .1% of total loans receivable. Automobile loans are secured by a lien on the title of the financed vehicle. The terms of the loan may not exceed 60 months. Rates on automobile loans may be fixed or floating. As of December 31, 1999, the entire automobile loan portfolio had fixed rate contracts. Automobile loans involve higher risk since the collateral rapidly depreciates. Defaults during the early months of the loan will likely result in a loss of principal due to the reduced value of the vehicle and the costs of repossession and sale. Automobile loans may be granted for up to 100% of the purchase price including transfer fees and taxes. The Savings Bank's home equity loans and lines of credit are secured by the underlying equity in the borrower's home. Home equity loans generally have fixed interest rates and terms of 5 to 15 years. Home equity lines of credit generally have variable interest rates based on the prime rate and terms of 5 to 15 years. The Savings Bank's home equity loans and home equity lines of credit require loan-to-value ratios of 100% or less after taking into consideration the first mortgage loan. The student loans made by the Savings Bank are guaranteed and serviced by the Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency. A deposit account secured loan is collateralized by deposits equal to no more than 90% of the principal balance of the loans. Unsecured personal loans depend solely on the creditworthiness of the borrower. In December 1995 the Savings Bank began issuing consumer credit cards to its existing customer base. Credit card loans outstanding amounted to $464,000 or .3% of the total loans receivable at December 31, 1999. Consumer loans generally have shorter terms and higher interest rates than mortgage loans but generally involve more credit risk than mortgage loans because of the type and nature of the collateral and, in certain cases, the absence of collateral. During 1999, the Savings Bank charged off $26,000 of consumer loans that amounted to .2% of the average outstanding consumer loan balance for 1999. At December 31, 1999, $162,000 of the remaining consumer loans, including home equity loans, were classified as non-performing. 29 31 ASSET QUALITY When a borrower fails to make a required payment on a loan, the Savings Bank attempts to cure the deficiency by contacting the borrower and seeking the payment. Late notices are sent and/or personal contacts are made. In most cases, deficiencies are cured promptly. While the Savings Bank generally prefers to work with borrowers to resolve such problems, when a loan becomes 60 days delinquent, the loan is classified as substandard and presented to the Classification Committee for evaluation. Following such evaluation if the loan continues to be delinquent past 90 days the Savings Bank institutes foreclosure, repossession, setoff or other proceedings, as necessary, to minimize any potential loss. Loans are placed on non-accrual status when, in the judgment of management, the probability of collection of interest is deemed to be insufficient to warrant further accrual. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, previously accrued but unpaid interest is deducted from interest income. The Savings Bank does not accrue interest on loans past due 90 days or more. Real estate acquired by the Savings Bank as a result of foreclosure or by deed-in-lieu of foreclosure is classified as real estate owned until it is sold. When a property is acquired, it is recorded at the lower of cost or fair value minus estimated cost to sell the property. Fair value is generally determined through the use of independent appraisals. Any write-downs resulting at acquisition are charged to the allowance for loan losses. All costs incurred in maintaining the Savings Bank's interest in the property are capitalized between the date the loan becomes delinquent and the date of acquisition. After the date of acquisition, all costs incurred in maintaining the property are expensed and costs incurred for the improvement or development of such property are capitalized. Under generally accepted accounting principles, the Savings Bank is required to account for certain loan modifications or restructurings as "troubled debt restructurings." In general, the modification or restructuring of a debt constitutes a troubled debt restructuring if the Savings Bank for economic or legal reasons related to the borrower's financial difficulties grants a concession to the borrower that the Savings Bank would not otherwise consider. Debt restructurings or loan modifications for a borrower do not necessarily always constitute troubled debt restructurings, however, and troubled debt restructurings do not necessarily result in non-accrual loans. For the year ended December 31, 1999, the Savings Bank had no troubled debt restructurings and had no interest income arising from troubled debt restructuring. DELINQUENT LOANS. The following table sets forth information concerning delinquent loans at the dates indicated, in dollar amounts and as a percentage of each category of the Savings Bank's loan portfolio. The amounts presented represent the total outstanding principal balances of the related loans, rather than the actual payment amounts that are past due.

The $1.6 million of commercial real estate delinquencies 30-59 days primarily consists of one loan totaling $1.45 million. On March 10, 2000, this loan was brought current through February 29, 2000. The $406,000 of commercial real estate delinquencies 60-89 days consists of one loan. This loan was greater than 90 days delinquent as of February 29, 2000. Management continues to take appropriate measures to address the deficiency with the borrower and as of February 29, 2000 does not believe that it will sustain a loss. However, this loan will continue to be monitored and appropriately reserved under the allowance for loan losses. NON-PERFORMING ASSETS. The following table sets forth the amounts and categories of the Savings Bank's non-performing assets at the dates indicated. The Savings Bank had no loans during the periods indicated below which should be classified as troubled debt restructurings.

- --------------- (1) Consists of an aggregate of 10, 7 and 11 loans at December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. (2) Consists of 1 loan at December 31, 1999. (3) Consists of 1 loan at December 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998, respectively. (4) Consists of 6 loans at December 31, 1999 and 1 loan at December 31, 1997. (5) Consists of 9 loans at December 31, 1999 and 5 and 9 loans at December 31, 1998 and December 31, 1997, respectively. The Savings Bank's total non-performing assets have increased from $903,000 or .51% of total assets at December 31, 1998 to $1.1 million or .67% of total assets at December 31, 1999. The $231,000 increase in total non-performing assets between December 31, 1998 and 1999 principally reflects an increase in non-performing commercial real estate loans of $359,000 and in commercial business loans of $131,000. The one non-performing commercial real estate loan of $458,000 at December 31, 1999 is backed by the Small Business Administration ("SBA") which is 75% guaranteed by the SBA. After realization of the collateral, management is of the opinion 31 33 it may sustain a loss, but such loss has been adequately reserved through the general allowance for loan loss and will not result in a material adverse effect on the Bank's financial position or results of operations. The Savings Bank's total non-performing assets increased from $611,000 or .43% of total assets at December 31, 1997 to $903,000 or .51% of total assets at December 31, 1998. The $292,000 increase in total non-performing assets between December 31, 1997 and 1998 principally reflects increases in real estate owned of $205,000. At December 31, 1999, 1998, and 1997 approximately $65,000, $43,000, and $46,000 in interest income, respectively, would have been recorded in the period then ended on loans accounted for on a non-accrual basis if such loans had been current in accordance with their original terms and had been outstanding throughout the period or since origination if held for part of the period. The Savings Bank had no accruing loans greater than 90 days delinquent. ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES. An allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level which is deemed to be appropriate based upon a comprehensive methodology and procedural discipline that is updated on a monthly basis. The calculation methodology for this allowance is described in the Results of Operations section under Provision for Loan Losses on page 17. Provisions for loan losses that are charged against income increase the allowance. Although management utilizes its best judgment in providing for losses, there can be no assurance that the Savings Bank will not have to increase its provision for loan losses in the future as a result of increases in higher risk commercial and consumer loans, future changes in the economy or for other adverse reasons that are discovered from the comprehensive methodology performed monthly. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Savings Bank's provision for loan losses and the carrying value of its other non-performing assets based on their judgments from information available at the time of their examination. There can be no assurance that bank regulators will agree with the Savings Bank on the systematic methodology for determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses during future examinations. The Savings Bank could be required by bank regulators to increase its allowance for loan losses in addition to the loan loss reserves set by management, thereby negatively affecting the Savings Bank's financial condition and earnings at that time. The Savings Bank was last examined by the OTS as of March 31, 1999. Effective December 21, 1993, the OTS, in conjunction with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the FDIC and the Federal Reserve Board, issued an Interagency Policy Statement on the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses ("Policy Statement"). The Policy Statement, which effectively supersedes previous OTS proposed guidance, includes guidance (i) on the responsibilities of management for the assessment and establishment of an adequate allowance and (ii) for the agencies' examiners to use in evaluating the adequacy of such allowance and the policies utilized to determine such allowance. The Policy Statement also sets forth quantitative measures for the allowance with respect to assets classified substandard and doubtful, described below, and with respect to the remaining portion of an institution's loan portfolio. Specifically, the Policy Statement sets forth the following quantitative measures which examiners may use to determine the reasonableness of an allowance: (i) 50% of the dollar value of the portfolio that is classified doubtful must be accounted for in the allowance of the institution; (ii) 15% of the dollar value of the portfolio that is classified substandard must be accounted for in the allowance of the institution; (iii) for the portions of the portfolio that have not been classified (including loans designated special mention), estimated credit losses over the upcoming twelve months based on facts and circumstances available on the evaluation date must be accounted for in the allowance of the institution, and (iv) in the cases where the institution has an insufficient basis for determining this amount, an examiner may use industry average net charge-off rate for nonclassified loans and leases (based on a study of the Federal Reserve Board a rate of .50% for risk-weighted "pass" loans and 3% for special mention loans is acceptable). While the Policy Statement sets forth this quantitative measure, such guidance is not intended as a "floor" or "ceiling." Federal regulations require that each insured savings institution classify its assets on a regular basis. In addition, in connection with examinations of insured institutions, federal examiners have authority to identify problem assets and, if appropriate, classify them. There are three classifications for problem assets: "substandard," "doubtful" and "loss." Substandard assets have one or more defined weaknesses and are characterized by the distinct possibility that the insured institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Doubtful assets have the weaknesses of those classified as substandard with the added characteristic that the 32 34 weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values questionable, and there is a high possibility of loss. An asset classified as loss is considered uncollectible and of such little value that continuance as an asset of the institution is not warranted. Assets classified as substandard or doubtful require the institution to establish general allowances for loan losses. If an asset or portion thereof is classified as loss, the insured institution must either establish specific allowances for loan losses in the amount of 100% of the portion of the asset classified as a loss or charge-off such amount. General loss allowances established to cover possible losses related to assets classified substandard or doubtful may be included in determining an institution's regulatory capital, while specific valuation allowances for loan losses do not qualify as regulatory capital. At December 31, 1999, the Savings Bank had $1.1 million of non-performing loans all of which were classified as "substandard" and no assets were classified as "doubtful" or "loss." The following table summarizes changes in the allowance for loan losses and other selected statistics for the periods presented.

The Savings Bank's management is unable to determine in what loan category future charge-offs and recoveries may occur. The following schedule sets forth the allocation of the allowance for loan losses among various categories. The entire allowance for loan losses is available to absorb future loan losses in any loan category.

33 35 INVESTMENT ACTIVITIES GENERAL. The Company's Board of Directors has given authority to the Investment Committee of the Savings Bank to manage the investment activities of the Company. Investment activity at the Company is minimal. The Company has chosen to invest in several debt and equity securities. The aggregate market value of these investments, at December 31, 1999, is $1.1 million. These investments were selected on management's belief that the value would appreciate. These debt and equity investments represent .5% of the total consolidated assets of the Company and 3.1% of the total consolidated investment securities of the Company. Excess funds at the Company level are deposited into a money market account maintained at the Savings Bank. The Savings Bank's investment activities are managed by the Investment Committee designated by the Board of Directors of the Savings Bank. These activities are conducted in accordance with a written investment policy that is reviewed and approved by the Board of Directors at least annually. The Savings Bank's Asset and Liability Committee has been designated to work with management and the Board to implement and achieve investment plan goals and to report at least quarterly to the Board in conjunction with its review of the Savings Bank's overall gap and interest rate risk position. As reflected in its investment policy, the Savings Bank's primary investment objective is to maximize income while providing an appropriate balance of high quality, diversified investments and be consistent with the Bank's liquidity and safety requirements. Accordingly, the Savings Bank seeks a competitive return from its investments, but the rate of return is only one consideration which is weighed against the Savings Bank's other goals and objectives of liquidity and operating in a manner deemed by the Board to reflect safety and soundness. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS. Cash and cash equivalents of the Savings Bank decreased by $5.0 million from fiscal 1998 to fiscal 1999. At December 31, 1999, cash and cash equivalents of the Savings Bank amounted to $5.2 million or 2.6% of total assets. The largest component in this category is interest-bearing deposits in banks, which amounted to $3.8 million at December 31, 1998. The majority of such deposits were made with the FHLB of Pittsburgh. The $5.0 million decrease in cash and cash equivalents during fiscal 1999 was primarily attributable to $27.1 million growth in net loans receivable. This was partially offset by a $10.8 million and $12.0 million growth in total deposits and FHLB of Pittsburgh advances, respectively. Cash and cash equivalents of the Savings Bank increased by $7.9 million from fiscal 1997 to fiscal 1998. At December 31, 1998, cash and cash equivalents of the Savings Bank amounted to $10.2 million or 5.7% of total assets. The largest component in this category is interest-bearing deposits in banks, which amounted to $9.1 million at December 31, 1998. The majority of such deposits were made with the FHLB of Pittsburgh. The $7.9 million increase in cash and cash equivalents during fiscal 1998 was primarily due to funds received from called investments along with increased principal payments on loans and increases in total deposits. INVESTMENT SECURITIES AND MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES. As a savings and loan holding company, with majority ownership in one savings association that meets the requirement of a qualified thrift lender due to the level of its residential mortgage lending activities, the Company has broad investment powers. Other than 100% ownership of the Savings Bank, the Company has chosen only to maintain the loan to the ESOP, an officer loan totaling $236,000, to invest in debt and equity securities with a market value totaling $1.1 million at December 31, 1999 and to deposit the majority of the remaining funding of the Company in a money market and checking account maintained at the Savings Bank. Funds on deposit with the Savings bank are used for either loans or investment securities as determined by the Savings Bank. The Savings Bank has authority to invest in various types of assets. The Savings Bank's Investment Committee appointed by the Board is authorized by the Board to: purchase or sell U.S. Government securities and securities issued by agencies thereof; purchase, sell or trade any securities qualifying as eligible liquidity; purchase mortgage-related securities; purchase participations in the secondary mortgage market; purchase whole loan packages eligible for investment by the Savings Bank; invest in repurchase agreements secured by securities eligible for investment by the Savings Bank; invest in mutual funds restricted to authorized investments; invest in state, county or municipal securities eligible for investment by the Savings Bank; invest in domestic certificates of deposits with only institutions with FDIC insurance coverage; invest in deposits with the FHLB of Pittsburgh and other authorized investments; invest in various corporate securities and bonds that have at least an "AA" rating 34 36 by Standard & Poor's; and invest in various other mutual funds and certain equity issues as authorized by the Board. The Board of the Savings Bank does not permit investments in highly speculative securities. The Savings Bank's investments are all classified as "held to maturity" or "available for sale" upon acquisition based upon the Savings Bank's intent and ability to hold such investments to maturity at the time of investment in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The investment securities and mortgage-backed securities of the Savings Bank which are classified as "held to maturity" are carried at amortized cost, with any discount or premium amortized to maturity. The investment securities and mortgage-backed securities of the Savings Bank which are classified as "available for sale" are carried at fair value and are repriced monthly. All mutual fund investments are classified as investments available for sale. The Savings Bank maintains a portfolio of mortgage-backed securities as a means of investing in housing-related mortgage instruments without the costs associated with originating mortgage loans for portfolio retention and with limited credit risk of default which arises in holding a portfolio of loans to maturity. Mortgage related securities (which also are known as mortgage participation certificates or pass-through certificates) represent a participation interest in a pool of single-family or multi-family mortgages, the principal and interest payments on which are passed from the mortgage originators, through intermediaries (generally U.S. Government agencies and government sponsored enterprises) that pool and repackage the participation interests in the form of securities, to investors such as the Savings Bank. Such U.S. Government agencies and government sponsored enterprises, which guarantee the payment of principal and interest to investors, primarily include the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("FHLMC"), the Federal National Mortgage Association ("FNMA") and the Government National Mortgage Association ("GNMA"). The FHLMC is a public corporation chartered by the U.S. Government and owned by the 12 Federal Home Loan Banks and Federally insured savings institutions. The FHLMC issues participation certificates backed principally by conventional mortgage loans. The FHLMC guarantees the timely payment of interest and the ultimate return of principal. The FNMA is a private corporation chartered by the U.S. Congress with a mandate to establish a secondary market for conventional mortgage loans. The FNMA guarantees the timely payment of principal and interest on FNMA securities. The full faith and credit of the United States does not back FHLMC and FNMA securities, but because the FHLMC and FNMA are U.S. Government sponsored enterprises, these securities are considered to be among the highest quality investments with minimal credit risks. The GNMA is a government agency within the Department of Housing and Urban Development that is intended to help finance government-assisted housing programs. GNMA securities are backed by FHA-insured and VA-guaranteed loans, and the timely payment of principal and interest on GNMA securities are guaranteed by the GNMA and backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. Because the FHLMC, the FNMA and the GNMA were established to provide support for low-and middle-income housing, there are limits to the maximum size of loans that qualify for these programs. Mortgage-backed securities typically are issued with stated principal amounts, and the securities are backed by pools of mortgages that have loans with interest rates that are within a range and have varying maturities. The underlying pool of mortgages, i.e., fixed rate or adjustable rate, as well as repayment risk, are passed on to the certificate holder. The life of a mortgage-backed pass-through security thus approximates the life of the underlying mortgages. Mortgage-backed securities generally yield less than the loans that underlie such securities because of their payment guarantees or credit enhancements that offer nominal credit risk. In addition, mortgage-backed securities are more liquid than individual mortgage loans. Mortgage-backed securities issued or guaranteed by FNMA or FHLMC (except interest-only securities or the residual interests in collateralized mortgage obligations) are weighted at no more than 20% for risk-based capital purposes, compared to a weight of 50% to 100% for residential loans. 35 37 The following tables set forth certain information relating to the Company's and Savings Bank's investment and mortgage-backed securities portfolio at the dates indicated:

The weighted yield for investment securities including held to maturity and available for sale is based upon historical amortized cost balances. The actual maturity of the Company's consolidated investment securities may differ from contractual maturity since certain of the Company's consolidated investment securities are subject to call provisions that allow the issuer to accelerate the maturity date of the security. At December 31, 1999, the weighted average contractual maturity of all of the Savings Bank's mortgage-backed securities was approximately 14 years and the weighted average yield on the mortgage-backed securities portfolio was 6.14%. The actual maturity of a mortgage-backed security is less than its stated maturity due to prepayments of the underlying mortgages. Prepayments that are faster than anticipated may shorten the life of the security and adversely affect its yield to maturity. The yield is based upon the interest income and the amortization of any premium or discount related to the mortgage-backed security. Although prepayments of underlying mortgages depend on many factors, including the type of mortgages, the coupon rate, the age of mortgages, the geographical location of the underlying real estate collateralizing the mortgages and general levels of market interest rates, the difference between the interest rates on the underlying mortgages and the prevailing 38 40 mortgage interest rates generally is the most significant determinant of the rate of prepayments. During periods of falling mortgage interest rates, if the coupon rate of the underlying mortgages exceeds the prevailing market interest rates offered for mortgage loans, refinancing generally increases and accelerates the prepayment of the underlying mortgages and the related security. Under such circumstances, the Savings Bank may be subject to reinvestment risk because to the extent that the Savings Bank's mortgage-backed securities amortize or prepay faster than anticipated, the Savings Bank may not be able to reinvest the proceeds of such repayments and prepayments at a comparable rate. At December 31, 1999, of the $11.7 million of mortgage-backed securities, an aggregate of $9.9 million were secured by fixed-rate mortgage loans and an aggregate of $1.8 million were secured by adjustable-rate mortgage loans. In February 1992, the OTS adopted a policy statement which states, among other things, that mortgage derivative products (including CMOs and CMO residuals and stripped mortgage-backed securities) which possess average life or price volatility in excess of a benchmark fixed rate 30-year mortgage-backed pass-through security are "high-risk" mortgage securities, are not suitable investments for depository institutions, must be carried in the institution's trading account or as assets held for sale, and must be marked to market on a regular basis. The Savings Bank has no "high-risk" mortgage securities at December 31, 1999 and has no present intention to invest in such products. SOURCES OF FUNDS GENERAL. The principal source of funds for the Company is the repayment of the loan to the ESOP, repayment of the officer loan, interest and dividends on its debt and equity investments (including its ownership of all of the capital stock of the Savings Bank) and interest paid on deposits maintained at the Savings Bank. The Savings Bank's principal source of funds for use in lending and for other general business purposes has traditionally come from deposits obtained through the Savings Bank's branch offices. The Savings Bank also derives funds from amortization and prepayments of outstanding loans and mortgage-backed securities and from maturing investment securities. The Savings Bank has also borrowed from the FHLB of Pittsburgh. Loan repayments are a relatively stable source of funds, while deposits inflows and outflows are significantly influenced by general interest rates and money market conditions. DEPOSITS. The Savings Bank's current deposit products include passbook accounts, negotiable order of withdrawal ("NOW") accounts, non-interest bearing demand deposit accounts, tiered money market deposit accounts and certificates of deposit ranging in terms from six months to five years. The Savings Bank's deposit products also include Individual Retirement Account ("IRA") and Keogh certificates. The Savings Bank's deposits are obtained primarily from residents in its primary market area of Allegheny County and portions of Washington County and Westmoreland County, all of which are located in Western Pennsylvania. The Savings Bank to a lesser extent obtains deposits from other locations in the greater Pittsburgh metropolitan area. The Savings Bank attracts deposit accounts by offering a wide variety of accounts, competitive interest rates and fee structures on transaction accounts, and convenient branch office locations and service hours. The Savings Bank primarily utilizes print media to attract new customers and savings deposits. The Savings Bank has never utilized the services of deposit brokers and had no brokered deposits at December 31, 1999. The Savings Bank presently operates six automated teller machines ("ATMs"), one at each of the branch offices maintained by the Savings Bank as of December 31, 1999 and one off-site ATM at a local convenience store. The Savings Bank is affiliated with a regional ATM network. The Savings Bank has been competitive in the types of accounts and in interest rates it has offered on its deposit products but does not necessarily seek to match the highest rates paid by competing institutions. At times of declining interest rates, the Savings Bank has chosen to aggressively price certificate of deposit rates to discourage disintermediation of deposits into competing investment products offered by other institutions. 39 41 The following table shows the distribution of, and certain other information relating to, the Savings Bank's deposits by type of deposit as of the dates indicated.

The Savings Bank utilized the increased borrowings during 1999 to primarily meet increased loan demand. To secure the repayment of any outstanding borrowings from the FHLB of Pittsburgh and any other credit product offered by the FHLB of Pittsburgh, the Savings Bank has pledged to the FHLB of Pittsburgh investments of the Savings Bank in U.S. Government and U.S. agency securities and U.S. Government and U.S. agency mortgage-backed securities and 100% of its unencumbered home loan mortgages. 41 43 REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS Federally insured savings institutions are required to maintain minimum levels of regulatory capital. Pursuant to Federal regulations, the OTS has established capital standards applicable to all savings institutions. These standards generally must be as stringent as the comparable capital requirements imposed on national banks. The OTS also is authorized to impose capital requirements in excess of these standards on individual associations on a case-by-case basis. At December 31, 1999, the Savings Bank exceeded all of the capital requirements applicable to it. Set forth below is a summary of the Savings Bank's compliance with the applicable capital standards as of December 31, 1999 and as of December 31 of each of the preceding four years.

- --------------- (1) Tangible capital levels are shown as a percentage of tangible assets. Core capital levels are shown as a percentage of adjusted assets. Risk-based capital levels are shown as a percentage of risk-weighted assets. As of December 31, 1999, the difference between capital under generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and regulatory tangible and core capital is attributable to $231,000 for the Savings Bank's net unrealized holding losses on available-for-sale securities to arrive at regulatory tangible and core capital of $13,753,000. (2) To be "adequately capitalized" for purposes of the OTS' Prompt Corrective Action regulations, core capital generally must be at least 4.0%. (3) Calculated based on the OTS requirement of 8.0% of risk-weighted assets. (4) As of December 31, 1999, the difference between capital under generally accepted accounting principles and regulatory risk-based capital is attributable to an addition to generally accepted accounting principles capital of $983,000 for the allowance for loan loss and $231,000 for the Savings Bank's net unrealized holding gains (losses) on available-for-sale securities to arrive at regulatory risk-based capital of $14,736,000. 42 44 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of Prestige Bancorp, Inc.: We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Prestige Bancorp, Inc. (the Corporation) and Subsidiary as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1999. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Corporation's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The accompanying notes are an integral part of these statements 47 49 PRESTIGE BANCORP, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 1999 And 1998 1. BASIS OF ORGANIZATION: On February 14, 1996, the Board of Directors of Prestige Bank, F.S.B. (the Bank) adopted a Plan of Conversion (the Plan) from a federally chartered mutual savings bank to a federally chartered stock savings bank and the issuance of its stock to Prestige Bancorp, Inc., (the Corporation), a Pennsylvania corporation. The Plan provided that the holding company offer nontransferable subscription rights to purchase common stock of the holding company. The rights were offered first to eligible account holders of record, a tax-qualified employee stock ownership plan to be adopted by the Bank, supplemental eligible account holders, certain other depositors and borrowers, and directors, officers and employees. The Corporation sold 963,023 shares of its common stock (including 77,041 shares to its newly formed Employee Stock Ownership Trust (the ESOP)), at $10.00 per share. Simultaneously there was a corresponding exchange of all of the Bank's stock for approximately 50% of the net offering proceeds. The remaining portion of the net proceeds were retained by the Corporation net of $770,410 which was loaned to the ESOP for its purchase. The conversion and public offering was completed on June 27, 1996 with net proceeds from the offering, net of the ESOP loan, totaling $8,188,394, after offering expenses. 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: NATURE OF OPERATIONS Prestige Bancorp, Inc. through its wholly-owned subsidiary, the Bank, is primarily engaged in the business of attracting deposits in the form of savings accounts and investing such funds in the origination or purchase of commercial loans, residential mortgage loans and consumer loans, including credit card services, and in mortgage-backed and other securities. The Bank conducts its business through five offices located in the greater Pittsburgh metropolitan area. The following comprise the significant accounting policies that the Corporation follows in preparing and presenting its financial statements: PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiary, the Bank. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS Cash and cash equivalents in the accompanying statements of cash flows include cash and due from banks and interest-bearing deposits primarily with banks. Interest-bearing deposits are on deposit with domestic banks and are due within three months. The Corporation had no deposits in foreign banks or in foreign branches of United States banks. In addition, cash and due from banks at December 31, 1999 and 1998 included $323,000 and $292,000, respectively, of reserves required to be maintained under Federal Reserve Bank regulations. INVESTMENT SECURITIES The Bank follows Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities," which specifies a methodology for the classification of such securities as either held to maturity, available for sale or as trading assets. Securities are classified at the time of purchase as investment securities held to maturity if it is management's intent and the Corporation has the ability to hold the securities until maturity. Debt securities classified as held to maturity are carried on the Corporation's books at cost, adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discount using the interest method. 48 50 PRESTIGE BANCORP, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--CONTINUED 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:--CONTINUED Alternatively, investments are classified as available for sale if it is management's intent at the time of purchase to hold the securities for an indefinite period of time and/or to use the investments as part of the Corporation's asset/liability management strategy. Investments classified as available for sale include securities that may be sold to effectively manage interest rate risk exposure, prepayment risk and other factors (such as liquidity requirements). These available for sale securities are reported at fair value with unrealized aggregate appreciation (depreciation) excluded from income and credited (charged) to a separate component of equity on a net of tax basis. The Corporation presently is not authorized by its Board of Directors and does not engage in trading activity. Gains or losses on the sale of available for sale securities are recognized in income upon realization using the specific identification method. LOANS RECEIVABLE Loans receivable are stated at their unpaid principal balances, including any allowances for anticipated loss. Interest on loans is credited to income as earned. Accrual of interest income is discontinued when reasonable doubt exists regarding collectability, generally when payment of principal or interest is 90 days or more past due and repayment is less than assured. For loans that have been placed on a nonaccrual basis, previously accrued but unpaid interest is reversed and subsequently recognized only to the extent payment is received and recovery of principal is assured. ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES The allowance for loan losses is based on estimates, and ultimate losses may vary from current estimates. These estimates are continually reviewed and, as adjustments become necessary, they are reported in earnings in the period in which they become known. The allowance for possible loan losses is established through a provision charged to expense and recoveries. The Bank follows SFAS No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan," which was subsequently amended by SFAS No. 118, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan--Income Recognition and Disclosures." SFAS No. 114 addresses the treatment and disclosure of certain loans where it is probable that the creditor will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. This standard defines the term "impaired loan" and indicates the method used to measure the impairment. The measurement of impairment may be based upon (a) the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate; (b) the observable market price of the impaired loan; or (c) the fair value of the collateral of a collateral dependent loan. Additionally, these statements require disclosure of how the creditor recognizes the interest income related to these impaired loans. The Corporation's policy is to review separately each of its commercial business, commercial real estate and commercial real estate construction loans in order to determine if a loan is impaired. The Corporation also has identified two pools of small-dollar-value homogeneous loans for one-to-four family real estate/construction loans and for consumer loans that are evaluated collectively for impairment. As facts such as a significant delinquency in payments of 90 days or more, a bankruptcy or other circumstances become known on specific loans within either loan pool, individual loans are reviewed and are removed from the pool if deemed to be impaired. The Corporation considers its specifically identified impaired loans to be collateral dependent; therefore, the fair value of the collateral of the impaired loans is evaluated in measuring the impairment. For its two loan pools, the Corporation calculates expected loan losses using a formula approach based upon historical experience and qualitative factors, which include but are not limited to, economic trends, delinquencies, concentrations of credit, trends in loan volume, experience and depth of management, examination and audit results, effects of any 49 51 PRESTIGE BANCORP, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--CONTINUED 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:--CONTINUED changes in lending policies and trends in policy exceptions. The Corporation's policy is to recognize interest on a cash basis for impaired loans and to charge off impaired loans when deemed uncollectable. ORIGINATION FEES AND COSTS The Corporation defers all nonrefundable fees and capitalizes all material direct costs associated with each loan originated. The deferred fees and capitalized costs are accreted or amortized as an adjustment to interest income using the interest method over the contractual life of the loans, adjusted for estimated prepayments based on the Corporation's historical prepayment experience. PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization which is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets that are from 2 to 50 years. DEPOSITS Interest on deposits is accrued and charged to expense monthly and is paid or credited in accordance with the terms of the respective accounts. EMPLOYEE BENEFITS The Corporation has a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan covering substantially all employees of the Bank. Pension cost is charged to expense. Additionally, the Bank maintains a 401(k) plan for employees. The Bank does not match any employee contributions. Effective June 27, 1996, the Corporation established the ESOP plan, which acquired 77,041 shares, or 93,027 shares adjusted for the 15% stock dividend in the second quarter of 1998 and 5% stock dividend in the first quarter of 1999, in connection with the Plan of Conversion. As of December 31, 1999 and 1998, 79,007 and 79,393 shares, respectively, remain unearned. On April 23, 1997, the Board of Directors and shareholders formally approved the Corporation's Stock Option Plan (the Option Plan) and Management Recognition and Retention Plan and Trust (the MRP Plan). See notes 12, 13 and 14 for additional information. INCOME TAXES Deferred tax assets or liabilities are computed based on the difference between the financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities using the enacted marginal tax rate. Deferred income tax expenses or credits are based on the changes in the asset or liability from period to period. EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE The Company follows SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share." Under SFAS No. 128, earnings per share are classified as basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share includes only the weighted average common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share includes the weighted average common shares outstanding and any dilutive common stock equivalent shares in the calculation. Treasury shares are treated as retired for earnings per share purposes. 50 52 PRESTIGE BANCORP, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--CONTINUED 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:--CONTINUED The following table reflects the calculation of earnings per share under SFAS No. 128.
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, ----------------------- 1999 1998 1997 -------- ---------- ---------- Basic earnings per share(1): Net income........................................ $851,314 $ 743,087 $ 784,487 Average shares outstanding........................ 915,316 991,452 1,028,760 Earnings per share................................ $ .93 $ .75 $ .76 Diluted earnings per share(1): Net income........................................ $851,314 $ 743,087 $ 784,487 Average shares outstanding........................ 915,316 991,452 1,028,760 Stock options..................................... 151 9,493 3,402 -------- ---------- ---------- Diluted average shares outstanding................ 915,467 1,000,945 1,032,162 Earnings per share................................ $ .93 $ .74 $ .76
- --------------- (1) On April 15, 1998, the Board of Directors declared a stock dividend of 15% to shareholders of record of June 2, 1998 payable on June 19, 1998. In addition, on February 17, 1999, the Board of Directors declared a stock dividend of 5% to shareholders of record of March 2, 1999 payable on March 19, 1999. All per share data have been restated to reflect the stock dividends. Options to purchase 94,826 and 14,315 shares of common stock were outstanding during fiscal 1999 and 1998, respectively, but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per common share as the option's exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common stock for the respective periods. There were no options excluded in the computation of diluted earnings per common share during fiscal 1997. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME During the first quarter of 1998, the Company adopted SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income." Under SFAS No. 130, the reporting is required of all changes in the equity of an enterprise that result from recognized transactions and other economic events of the period other than transactions with owners in their capacity as owners. Prior to the issuance of this standard, some of those changes in equity were displayed in the income statement, while others were included directly in balances within a separate component of equity in a statement of financial position. BUSINESS SEGMENTS Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of a Business Enterprise and Related Information" ("SFAS 131") requires certain information to be reported about operating segments on a basis consistent with the Company's internal organizational structure. The Company is operated as a single segment which is community banking. As such, financial information for this segment does not differ materially from the information provided in the consolidated financial statements. RISK MANAGEMENT OVERVIEW Risk identification and management are essential elements for the successful management of the Corporation. In the normal course of business, the Bank is subject to various types of risk, including interest rate, credit and liquidity risk. The Corporation controls and monitors these risks with policies, procedures and various levels of managerial and Board oversight. 51 53 PRESTIGE BANCORP, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--CONTINUED 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:--CONTINUED Interest rate risk is the sensitivity of net interest income and the market value of financial instruments to the magnitude, direction and frequency of changes in interest rates. Interest rate risk results from various repricing frequencies and the maturity structure of assets and liabilities. The Corporation uses its asset liability management policy to manage interest rate risk. Credit risk represents the possibility that a customer may not perform in accordance with contractual terms. Credit risk results from extending credit to customers and purchasing securities. The Corporation's primary credit risk occurs in the loan portfolio. The Corporation uses its credit policy and evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses to control and manage credit risk. The Corporation's investment policy indicates the amount of credit risk that may be assumed in the investment portfolio. Liquidity risk represents the inability to generate cash or otherwise obtain funds at reasonable rates to satisfy commitments to borrowers, as well as the obligations to depositors and the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB). The Corporation uses its asset liability management policy and its FHLB borrowing capacity to manage liquidity risk. USE OF ESTIMATES IN PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from these estimates. FUTURE ACCOUNTING STANDARDS The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") has issued SFAS 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," which establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and hedging activities. As amended by SFAS 137, the standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000, and will be adopted by the Company for the year ended December 31, 2001. The impact of adoption is not expected to materially affect the Company's financial condition or results of operations. RECLASSIFICATIONS Certain reclassifications have been made in prior year financial statements to conform to current presentation. 52 54 PRESTIGE BANCORP, INC.

FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK ADVANCES:--CONTINUED The Bank relies on cash management advances offered by the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh for their liquidity needs. At December 31, 1999 the Bank's maximum borrowing capacity was $106.2 million of which $63.0 million had been borrowed. The Bank has a "blanket" agreement with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh whereby the Bank pledged as collateral for these advances its investments in U.S. government and agency securities and U.S. government and agency mortgage-backed securities and 100% of its unencumbered home mortgage loan portfolio. Of the outstanding FHLB advances, $2,000,000 was adjustable rate notes with a weighted average rate 6.05%. At December 31, 1999, there are $40.5 million of advances that are convertible to quarterly adjustable rate advances at varying convertible dates five years or less. The $40.5 million convertible advances have final maturity dates of $1.0 million in 2001, $15.0 million in 2002, $1.0 million in 2005, $9.0 million in 2008 and $14.5 million in 2009. 10. DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS: SFAS No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments," requires all entities to disclose the estimated fair value of its financial instrument assets and liabilities. For the Corporation, as for most financial institutions, approximately 98% of its assets and liabilities are considered financial instruments, as defined in SFAS No. 107. Many of the Corporation's financial instruments, however, lack an available trading market as characterized by a willing buyer and willing seller engaging in an exchange transaction. Therefore, significant estimations and present value calculations were used for the purpose of this disclosure. Estimated fair values have been determined using the best available data and an estimation methodology suitable for each category of financial instruments. The following methods and assumptions were used in estimating its fair value disclosures for financial instruments: CASH AND SHORT TERM DEPOSITS The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for cash, due from banks and various interest-bearing deposits with banks approximates those assets' fair values. INVESTMENT SECURITIES Fair values for investment securities are based on quoted market prices where available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments. NET LOANS AND ACCRUED INTEREST RECEIVABLE The fair values for one-to-four family residential loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using yields from similar products in the secondary markets. The carrying amount of construction loans approximates its fair value given their short-term nature. The fair values of consumer and commercial loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using interest rates reported in various government releases and the Bank's own product pricing schedule for loans with terms similar to the Bank's. The fair values of multi-family and nonresidential mortgages are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis, using interest rates based on a national survey of similar loans. The carrying amount of accrued interest approximates its fair value. 60 62 PRESTIGE BANCORP, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--CONTINUED 10. DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:--CONTINUED DEPOSIT LIABILITIES The fair values disclosed for deposits with no stated maturities (e.g., passbook savings accounts) are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the repricing date (i.e., their carrying amounts). Fair values of deposits with stated maturities (e.g., certificates of deposit) are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies a comparable Federal Home Loan Bank advance rate to the aggregated weighted average maturity on time deposits. FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK ADVANCES The fair values disclosed for Federal Home Loan Bank advances are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies a comparable Federal Home Loan Bank advance rate for borrowings of similar maturities. The estimated fair values and recorded book balances at December 31, 1999 and 1998 are as follows:

The special tax benefit afforded to thrift institutions that allowed a bad debt deduction based upon 8% of taxable income was repealed in 1996. A small thrift with assets of less than $500 million may maintain a bad debt reserve equal to the greater of the allowable base year reserve (i.e. the thrift bad debt reserve at December 31, 1987) or the experience method reserve (six year moving average ratio of charge-offs to loans applied to year end loan balances). The portion of the bad debt reserve under the former (percentage of taxable income) method which exceeds the bad debt reserve under the present (base year or experience) method must be recaptured by recognizing such excess in taxable income ratably over a six year period. The six-year recapture period generally started in 1996, but may have been delayed until 1997 or 1998 if certain residential loan origination tests were met in 1997 and 1998. The Bank had maintained the applicable residential loan requirement and the recapture commenced with the taxable year beginning January 1, 1998. As of December 31, 1999, the Savings Bank had an applicable excess reserve balance remaining of approximately $85,000. Approximately $21,300 will be recaptured on an annual basis over the next four fiscal years. The base year (i.e. December 31, 1987) bad debt reserve under the former method is permanently suspended, and therefore not subject to recapture, unless a base year loan contraction occurs in a subsequent year. A base year loan contraction occurs when the total loans at the end of the year are less than the total loans at December 31, 1987. In such cases, a proportionate reduction to the base year bad debt reserve at December 31, 1987 is required and the reduction to the reserve is recaptured. Furthermore, the base year bad debt reserve constitutes a restriction for tax purposes of the Bank's use of retained earnings for distributions or redemptions. In accordance with FASB statement No. 109, the Bank has recorded deferred income tax associated with the temporary differences related to the portion of the bad debt reserve arising in tax years after December 31, 1987. For the period before December 31, 1987, there is an unrecognized deferred tax liability of approximately $565,000 at December 31, 1999. If the suspended base year bad debt reserve at December 31, 1987 is reduced by certain excess distributions, redemptions or a base year loan contraction, income tax expense will be recognized at the prevailing tax rate. 62 64 PRESTIGE BANCORP, INC.

63 65 PRESTIGE BANCORP, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--CONTINUED 12. PENSION PLAN:--CONTINUED Approximately 99% of the plan's assets are primarily invested either directly or through mutual funds in common stocks, bonds, U.S. government and agency, and foreign securities. The remaining plan assets are on deposit with the Bank or in a cash management account. The Bank's funding policy is to contribute annually the maximum amount that can be deducted for federal income tax purposes. Contributions are intended to provide not only for benefits attributed to service to date but also for those expected to be earned in the future. The components of pension expense are as follows for each of the years ended:
1999 1998 1997 -------- --------- --------- Service cost...................................... $123,290 $ 84,055 $ 66,227 Interest cost..................................... 79,034 66,813 54,094 Actual return on plan assets......................

For all reported periods, the rate of increase in future compensation levels was assumed to be 4.75%. The weighted average discount rate used in determining the actuarial present value of the projected benefit obligation was 6.75% for the year ended December 31, 1999 and 7.25% for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997. The expected long-term rate of return on assets was 7.25% for each of the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997. Additionally, the Bank maintains a 401(k) plan for employees. The Bank does not match any employee contributions. 13. EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN AND TRUST (ESOP): In 1996, the Company established the ESOP to enable employees to obtain ownership interests in the Corporation. In connection with the conversion described in Note 1, the Corporation made a $770,410 loan to the ESOP that was used to purchase 77,041 shares, or 93,027 shares adjusted for the 15% stock dividend in the second quarter of 1998 and 5% stock dividend in the first quarter of 1999, of the Corporation's common stock. The ESOP loan has a term of 15 years and bears interest at 7.0%. This loan is collateralized by the shares purchased by the ESOP. The Bank's contributions to the ESOP will be used to repay the ESOP loan, which requires semi-annual payments of $41,888 (includes principal and interest) which began on December 27, 1996. The Bank is obligated to contribute amounts sufficient to repay the ESOP loan. The ESOP uses such contributions to repay the loan made to the ESOP by the Corporation. These transactions occur simultaneously and, for accounting and reporting purposes, offset each other. The effect of the ESOP on the Corporation's financial statements is that the amount of the unearned ESOP shares of $654,310 and $690,380 at December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively, as reflected in shareholders' equity, will be amortized to compensation over the remaining period of the ESOP loan. In addition, any difference between the market price of the Corporation's common stock and the $10 per share (the purchase price paid by the ESOP), or $8.28 adjusted for the 15% stock dividend in the second quarter of 1998 and 5% stock dividend in the first quarter of 1999, will also be charged or credited to compensation expense (with the offset to additional paid-in capital) based on the semi-annual allocation to ESOP participants of approximately 3,100 shares. Total compensation expense incurred in 1999, 1998 and 1997 for allocated ESOP shares was $75,098, 96,336 and $84,484, respectively. 64 66 PRESTIGE BANCORP, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--CONTINUED 14. CAPITAL STOCK PLANS: On April 23, 1997, at the annual stockholders meeting, the Board of Directors and shareholders formally approved the Corporation's Stock Option Plan (the Option Plan) and the Management Recognition and Retention Plan and Trust (the MRP Plan; the Option Plan and MRP Plan herein are referred to as the Plans). On April 15, 1998, the Board of Directors declared a stock dividend of 15% to shareholders of record of June 2, 1998 payable June 19, 1998. In addition, on February 17, 1999, the Board of Directors declared a stock dividend of 5% to shareholders of record of March 2, 1999 payable on March 19, 1999. All share data have been restated to reflect the stock dividend. The aforementioned approval of the MRP Plan made 38,521 shares, or 46,513 shares adjusted for the stock dividends in 1998 and 1999, of common stock available for awards to officers, key employees of the Corporation and Bank and non-employee directors thereof. As of December 31, 1999, the Corporation had granted 44,348 shares. However, such shares are vested over a five-year period and as of December 31, 1999, 22,176 shares remain unvested. In connection with the MRP Plan's approval, the Bank established a trust whose purpose is to purchase shares on the open market. During the year ended December 31, 1999, the Corporation incurred compensation expense of $223,990, based on the cost incurred to purchase the currently vesting or previously vested shares in the open market. Of the $223,990 MRP costs incurred in fiscal 1999, approximately $84,000 is attributable to the medical disability retirement of former President Robert S. Zyla. As of December 31, 1999, the trust had purchased 46,313 shares. The aforementioned approval of the Option Plan made 96,302 options, or 116,285 options adjusted for the stock dividends in 1998 and 1999, available for grant to employees and others who perform substantial services to the Corporation. As of December 31, 1999, the corporation had granted 109,079 options of which 1,146 shares have been forfeited. As permitted by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," the Corporation accounts for the Option Plan under APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" whereby no compensation cost has been recorded in accordance with certain valuation models, such as the Black-Scholes model. Under the provisions of SFAS No. 123, the per share compensation expense in connection with the MRP Plan is fixed on the date of grant. Had such valuation models been used in connection with the Option Plan and had compensation per share for the MRP Plan been set on the date of grant, the Corporation's net income and earnings per share would have had a net reduction to the following pro forma amounts for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997:
1999 1998 1997 -------- -------- -------- Net income: As reported...................................... $851,314 $743,087 $784,487 Pro forma........................................ 802,616 712,072 774,133 Basic earnings per share: As reported...................................... $ .93 $ .75 $ .76 Pro forma........................................ .88 .72 .75 Diluted earnings per share: As reported...................................... $ .93 $ .74 $ .76 Pro forma........................................ .88 .71 .75

None of these options were exercisable. The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions used for grants in 1997: weighted average risk-free interest rate of 6.41%, weighted average expected dividend yield of 1.21%, expected life of 7.0 years and expected volatility of 19.00%. Additionally, on October 26, 1999, the Corporation initiated plans to repurchase, at market value, up to 5% of its outstanding shares, or 49,848 shares, of common stock through the use of its existing cash and cash equivalents. At December 31, 1999, 7,000 shares had been repurchased under this repurchase plan. 15. RETAINED EARNINGS AND REGULATORY CAPITAL: The Corporation and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory--and possibly additional discretionary--actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Corporation's financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank's assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Bank's capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of total Tier I capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined) and of Tier I capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined). Management believes, as of December 31, 1999, that the Corporation and the Bank meet all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject. As of December 31, 1999, the most recent notification from the Office of Thrift Supervision categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier I risk based, Tier I leverage ratios as set forth in the table below. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Bank's category. 67 69 PRESTIGE BANCORP, INC.

16. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS: Certain directors and executive officers of the Corporation, including their immediate families and companies in that they are principal owners, are loan customers of the Bank. In management's opinion, such loans are made in the normal course of business and were granted on substantially the same terms and conditions as loans to other individuals and businesses of comparable creditworthiness at the time. Total loans to these persons at December 31, 1999 and 1998, amounted to $634,845 and $301,801 respectively. An analysis of these related party loans is as follows:

In addition, the Corporation from time to time has conducted business with certain directors, officers or companies in which they are related. During 1999, 1998 and 1997, such activity was as follows: - A business owned by the CEO leases office space from the Corporation. The rental income was $11,100 for each of the three years ended December 31, 1999. A business owned by the CEO provides professional services to the Bank and his fees were $5,850, $5,700, $5,500 for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. - A member of the Board of Directors is employed by a law firm retained by the Corporation. Fees paid in fiscal 1999, 1998 and 1997 relative to various bank and corporate matters totaled $52,336, $57,133 and $82,088, respectively. The firm's real estate closing service collected gross proceeds for the settlement of loans of approximately $337,635, $341,787 and $232,800, respectively, during fiscal 1999, 1998 and 1997 as closing agent from third party borrowers pursuant to closings on Bank loans. A portion of this amount was used to purchase title insurance and pay miscellaneous closing fees relative to these closings. 68 70 PRESTIGE BANCORP, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--CONTINUED 16. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:--CONTINUED - The Corporation retained media services from a company owned by the brother of one of the Corporation's officers. The total costs for such services in 1999, 1998 and 1997 were $42,740, $30,249 and $21,070, respectively. - The Chairman of the Board of Directors, John A. Stiver, was paid a fee of $10,000 per month for a total of $120,000 in 1998 for providing advice and assistance to the officers of the Bank with respect to the operations and management of the Bank. In addition, Mr. Stiver expanded the commercial loan portfolio that was in excess of $26.9 million as of December 31, 1998. - The Chairman of the Board of Directors was paid a fee of $8,000 per month, for a total fee of $96,000 in 1997 for providing advice and assistance to the officers of the Bank with respect to the operations and management of the Bank. In addition, Mr. Stiver expanded the commercial loan portfolio that was in excess of $11 million as of December 31, 1997. 17. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES: The Corporation incurs off-balance sheet risks in the normal course of business in order to meet the financing needs of its customers. These risks derive from commitments to extend credit. Such commitments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the financial statements. Commitments to extend credit are obligations to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the loan agreement. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses. A portion of the commitments is not expected to be drawn upon; thus, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Each customer's creditworthiness is evaluated on a case-by-case basis. The Bank's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to these commitments to extend credit is represented by their contractual amounts. The Bank uses the same credit and collateral policies in making commitments as for all other lending. The Bank has outstanding various commitments to extend credit approximating $10,623,000 and $13,105,000 as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. As of December 31, 1999 and 1998, these commitments had fixed and variable rates which ranged from 6.8% to 12.9% and 6.6% to 12.9%, respectively. In the opinion of management, the funding of the credit commitments will not have a material adverse effect on the Bank's financial position or results of operations. Additionally, the Bank is also subject to asserted and unasserted potential claims encountered in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management and legal counsel, the resolution of these claims will not have a material adverse effect on the Bank's financial position or results of operations. 18.

The ability of the Bank to upstream cash to the Parent Company is restricted by regulations. Federal law prevents the Parent Company from borrowing from its subsidiary banks unless the loans are secured by specific assets. Further such secured loans are limited in amount to ten percent of the subsidiary bank's capital and surplus. In addition, the subsidiary bank is subject to legal limitations on the amount of dividends that can be paid to their shareholder. On the date of the conversion, as required by regulatory pronouncements, the Bank established a liquidation account in the amount of $7,085,000 that is equal to retained earnings reflected in the Bank's statement of financial condition. The liquidation account will be maintained for the benefit of eligible savings account holders and supplemental eligible account holders who continue to maintain their accounts at the Bank after the conversion in accordance with supervisory regulations. In the event of a complete liquidation (and only in such event), each eligible savings account holder will be entitled to receive a liquidation distribution from the liquidation account in the amount of the then current adjusted balance of deposit accounts held, before any liquidation distribution may be made with respect to the common shares. Except for the repurchase of stock and payment of dividends by the Bank, the existence of the liquidation account will not restrict the use or further application of such retained earnings. 71 73 PRESTIGE BANCORP, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--CONTINUED 18. PARENT COMPANY FINANCIAL INFORMATION:--CONTINUED The Bank may not declare or pay a cash dividend on, or repurchase any of its common shares if the effect thereof would cause the Bank's equity to be reduced below either the amount required for the liquidation account or the regulatory capital requirements for insured institutions. 72 74 CORPORATE INFORMATION BOARD OF DIRECTORS JOHN A.
