Crusader Holding Corporation and Subsidiaries
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Information as of and for the nine and three month periods ended March 31, 1999
and 1998 is unaudited)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The unaudited consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 1999, and for
the nine and three month periods ended March 31, 1999 and 1998 include the
accounts of Crusader Holding Corporation (the "Company") and its wholly-owned
subsidiary, Crusader Savings Bank, (the "Bank"), along with the Bank's wholly
owned and majority owned subsidiaries including Crusader Mortgage Corporation
("CMC"). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated.

The interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles for interim financial information. Accordingly,
they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally
accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion
of management, all adjustments (including normal recurring accruals) necessary
for fair presentation of results of operations for the interim periods included
herein have been made. The results of operations for the nine and three month
periods ended March 31, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of results to be
anticipated for the full year.

2. NET INCOME PER SHARE

Basic and diluted earnings per share are calculated using statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128. Under SFAS No. 128, basic earnings per
share is computed based upon the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding during the period while diluted earnings per share is computed based
upon the weighted average number of common shares and common equivalent shares
outstanding during the period. Common stock equivalents are stock options,
warrants and similar items. In converting the common stock equivalents to common
shares, the Treasury Stock Method is utilized whereby it is assumed that the
proceeds that would be received upon the exercise of the common stock
equivalents are used to repurchase outstanding shares at the average market
price during the period. There was no difference between the Company's basic and
diluted earnings per share.

In determining the weighted average shares outstanding during the period in the
computation of basic and diluted earnings per share, retroactive effect was
given to the December 8, 1997 two for one stock split effected in the form of a
stock dividend. Basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding were
3,833,000 and 2,662,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 1999, and March 31,
1998, respectively.

3. ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for possible
loan losses charged to expenses. Loans are charged against the allowance for
loan losses when management believes that the collectibility of the principal is
unlikely. The allowance is an amount that management believes will be adequate
to absorb possible loan losses on existing loans that may become uncollectible
based on evaluations of the collectibility of loans and prior loan loss
experience. The evaluations take into consideration such factors as changes in
the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality, the
status of specific problem loans and overall current economic conditions that
may affect the ability of borrowers to repay their loans. While management uses
available information to recognize losses on loans, future additions to the
allowance may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions. In addition,
various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination processes,
periodically review the Bank's allowance for loan losses based on their
judgments about information available to them at the time of their examinations.

4. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

During the quarter ended March 31, 1998, the Company adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 130, "Reporting of Comprehensive
Income," which establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive
income and its components (revenues, expenses, gains and losses) in a full set
of financial statements. This statement also requires that all items that are
required to be recognized under accounting standards as components of
comprehensive income be reported in a financial statement that is displayed with
the same prominence as other financial statements. The adoption of SFAS No. 130
did not have a material impact on the Company.

5.  RECENT PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 1997, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
131, "Disclosure About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" (SFAS
No. 131), which establishes standards for the way that public business
enterprises report information about operating segments in annual financial
statements and requires that such enterprises report selected information about
operating segments in interim financial reports issued to shareholders. This
statement also establishes standards for related disclosures about products and
services, geographic areas and major customers. This statement requires the
reporting of financial and descriptive information about the enterprise's
reportable operating segments. This statement is effective for financial
statements for periods beginning after December 15, 1997. In the initial year of
application, comparative information for earlier years is to be restated. The
Company does not anticipate that the adoption of SFAS No. 131 will have a
material impact on the Company's results of operations.

6.  RECENT LITIGATION

During October 1998, one of the Bank's deposit customers ("Bank Depositor") had
approximately $1.3 million of dishonored money orders which resulted in its
account being deficient by a similar amount. The Bank has initiated a lawsuit in
the Court of Common Pleas of Philadelphia County against the money order company
which placed the stop payments on the money orders issued, and the Bank
Depositor; alleging, among other things, that the money orders were improperly
stopped and the Bank was a holder in due course and is therefore entitled to
reimbursement. The Bank is seeking reimbursement in the lawsuit. The Bank has
also initiated an involuntary bankruptcy proceedings against the Bank Depositor
in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.
The Bank is seeking to have a trustee preserve the assets of the Bank Depositor
in order that the Bank may receive partial reimbursement. An order for relief
under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code was granted on March 8, 1999. In December
1998, the Company recorded a pre-tax provision of $950,000 to provide for its
potential exposure with respect to the money orders. The Company believes its
litigation has strong merit; however, the provision was recorded because of the
length of time likely to transpire before the litigation is finalized and the
potential uncertainty associated therewith.

7.  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

During April 1999, the Bank entered into an agreement with a company ("Marketing
and Servicing Company") to provide marketing and servicing of a new short term
consumer loan product offered by the Bank. Pursuant to the agreement, the Bank
has received certain indemnifications from the Marketing and Servicing Company
and certain of its affiliates. In connection with such indemnifications, during
the term of the agreement and for a specified period thereafter, the Marketing
and Servicing Company is required to maintain a minium net worth of at least $21
million and to post a letter of credit in favor of Crusader Bank for at least $3
million.

During April 1999, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of
up to 100,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock in accordance with a Stock
Repurchase Plan.

Item 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
         FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing on the preceding
pages as well as in the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-1,
Registration No. 333-42215. Results of unaudited operations for the nine and
three month periods ended March 31, 1999 are compared to the unaudited results
of operations for the nine and three month periods ended March 31, 1998. Such
information is based upon the historical financial information available as of
the date indicated. Results of operations for the nine and three month periods
ended March 31, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of results to be attained
for any other period.

Certain statements contained in this report are "forward-looking" as defined in
Section 27A(i)(1) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Examples of
forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to (a) statements of
plans and objectives of the Company or its management or Board of Directors, (b)
statements of future economic performance and (c) statements of assumptions
underlying other statements and statements about the Company or its business.
The Company's management believes that its expectations are based on reasonable
assumptions within the bounds of its knowledge of its business and operations.
However, there can be no assurance that actual results will not differ
materially from its expectations. For a discussion of important factors that
could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward
looking statement, see the risk factors set forth in the Company's Registration
Statement on Form S-1, Registration No. 333-42215.

GENERAL

The Company is a holding company operating a federally chartered savings bank.
The Bank conducts community banking activities by accepting deposits from the
public and investing the proceeds in loans and investment securities. In
addition to bank lending products, such as single family conforming credit
residential mortgages, home equity loans, multi-family residential and
non-residential real estate loans and Small Business Administration loans, the
Bank originates or acquires nonconfoming mortgages that are subsequently resold
in larger pools, and delinquent property tax liens. In order to manage its
liquidity and interest rate risk, the Bank maintains an investment portfolio
consisting of bonds and mortgage-backed securities, all of which are investment
quality. The Bank's loan and investment portfolios are funded with deposits as
well as borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh ("FHLB") or
collateralized borrowings secured by the Bank's investment securities. The
Bank's earnings are largely dependent upon its net interest income (the
difference between what it earns on its loans and investments and what it pays
on its deposits and borrowings). In addition to net interest income, the Bank's
net income is impacted by its loan loss provision, non-interest income
(non-interest revenues realized by CMC in its nonconforming mortgage operation,
conforming mortgage banking revenue and loan, deposit and ATM fees) and
non-interest expenses (such as salaries and benefits, professional fees,
occupancy cost, deposit insurance premiums and expenses related to CMC
nonconforming mortgage operations.).

FINANCIAL CONDITION

The Company's assets increased to $280.1 million at March 31, 1999, as compared
to $202.0 million at June 30, 1998. The increase in assets primarily reflects
the deployment of proceeds from certificates of deposits and FHLB advances into
loans, including portfolio loans and loans held for sale. At March 31, 1999, the
loan portfolio aggregated $166.1 million as compared to $121.0 million at June
30, 1998 with the growth concentrated in commercial real estate loans, including
loans secured by apartment buildings and mixed use properties, and conforming
adjustable rate residential mortgages. Loans held for sale increased to $76.3
million at March 31, 1999 as compared to $48.4 million at June 30, 1998. This
increase resulted primarily from an increase in the volume of conforming
mortgage originations at the Bank's subsidiaries, Crusader Mortgage Corporation
of Delaware and National Chinese Mortgage have increased their volume. Other
assets and accrued interest receivable increased by $1.9 million due largely to

                                       9
<PAGE>

increase in deferred tax assets and prepaid income taxes resulting from the
Bank's purchase of historical tax credits in December 1998, and an increase in
accrued interest receivable due to the loan growth noted above. Deposits were
$176.9 million at March 31, 1999 as compared to $118.8 million at June 30, 1998
reflecting primarily an increase in certificates of deposits. FHLB advances
increased approximately $15.2 million as these borrowings were utilized in part
to fund the asset growth. Shareholders' equity increased by $3.3 million due to
net income generated during the period.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three months ended March 31, 1999 versus three months ended March 31, 1998. Net
income increased to $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 1999 as
compared to $885,000 for the comparable prior year period. Net interest income
increased by $848,000 or 52.15% due primarily to a growth in average earning
assets of $76.3 million and an increase in the net yield on interest-earning
assets to 3.90% as compared to 3.67% in the prior year period. The provision for
loan losses was increased by $63,000 to $163,000 for the current year period due
to a growth in the loan portfolio. There were no actual charge-offs of loans in
either period. Non-interest income decreased by $9,000 as a decline in CMC
nonconforming mortgage banking income of $336,000 was offset by increases in
conforming mortgage banking revenues and deposit and loan fees. Non-interest
expenses decreased by $56,000. A decrease in CMC operating expenses of $216,000
was partially offset by an increase in core-operating expenses of $160,000 due
to expansion associated with the increased asset size of the Company. Income tax
expense was $245,000 higher due to the increased profitability.

Nine months ended March 31, 1999 versus nine months ended March 31, 1998. Net
income increased to $3.4 million for the nine months ended March 31,1999 as
compared to $2.5 for the comparable prior year period. Net interest income
increased by $3.1 million or 75.83% due primarily to a growth in average earning
assets of $74.6 million and an increase in the net yield on interest-earning
assets to 4.14% as compared to 3.50% in the prior year period. Provision for
loan losses increased by $228,000 to $513,000 for the current year period due to
growth in the loan portfolio. Non-interest income decreased by $47,000 due to a
decline in CMC nonconforming mortgage banking income of $639,000 which was
partially offset by growth in conforming mortgage banking revenues and deposit
loan fees. Excluding a loss on Fraudulent Money Orders recorded in December 31,
1998 of $950,000, non-interest expenses increased by $407,000 as growth in core
operating expenses of $637,000 resulting from growth in asset size of the
Company were partially offset by a reduction in CMC expenses of $269,000. Income
tax expense was $456,000 higher due to the increased profitability.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

A major source of the Company's asset growth has been funded through deposits,
mostly certificates of deposits ("CDs"), generated through the Bank's two branch
offices and a network of financial planners and brokers.

The ability of the Bank to retain and attract deposits is dependent upon a
number of factors, including interest rates offered on the Bank's products.
Historically, most of the Bank's deposits have been in the form of CDs, which
typically provide for a higher interest rate than other bank deposit products,
such as checking and savings accounts. The Bank also funds its assets with
secured borrowings from the FHLB and collateralized borrowings secured by its
investment securities portfolio. These borrowings generally provide the Bank
with greater flexibility in matching the duration of its liabilities with that
of certain of its assets. Future availability of these funding sources is
largely dependent upon the Bank having sufficient available eligible assets to
collateralize these borrowings. The Bank currently has available excess
collateral to secure future borrowings from these sources and it anticipates
that future asset growth will provide additional eligible collateral. The Bank's
assets generally provide for scheduled principal and interest payments which
provide the Bank with additional sources of funds. If required, additional funds

                                       10
<PAGE>

could be obtained through the sale of either loans or investment securities
which are classified as available-for-sale. The Bank has and will continue to
utilize its investment securities portfolio to manage liquidity.

The Bank's primary uses of funds are the origination and acquisition of loans,
the funding of maturing deposits and the repayment of borrowings. The Bank has
experienced strong loan demand. Based upon management's current business
strategy, the Company believes that its income from operations and existing
funding sources will be adequate to meet its operating and growth requirements
for the foreseeable future; however, there can be no assurance that such
strategy will not change or that the implementation of the strategy will not
require additional capital or funding sources.

Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended March 31, 1999
was $26.4 million as compared to $50.4 million in the comparable prior year
period. During both periods, the use related principally to growth in loans
available-for-sale.

Net cash used in investing activities approximated $49.8 million and $20.4
million during the nine months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
During each year, the primary use was the funding of the growth in the Bank's
loan portfolio.

The Bank monitors its capital level relative to its business operations and
anticipated growth and has continually maintained it at a level which would
allow it to be classified as "well-capitalized" under the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation Improvement Act ("FDICIA"). Well-capitalized institutions
are assessed lower deposit insurance premiums. The Bank's capital to support its
asset growth has come from internally generated earnings, additional capital
contributions by its shareholders and proceeds from the initial public offering
of the Company's common stock consummated in February 1998. Prior to February
1998, the Company's shareholders chose to contribute capital on an ongoing basis
only as it was necessary to fund the Company's growth .

The following tables set forth the Bank's regulatory capital levels at March 31,
1999. The Company is not subject to regulatory capital requirements.

Item 3   QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Interest rate risk. Interest rate risk is defined as the sensitivity of the
Company's current and future earnings and capital to changes in the level of
market interest rates. The Bank's exposure to interest rate risk results from,
among other things, the difference in maturities on interest-earning assets and
interest-bearing liabilities. Since the Bank's assets currently have a longer
maturity than its liabilities, the Bank's earnings could be negatively impacted
during a period of rising interest rates and conversely positively impacted
during a period of falling interest rates. The relationship between the interest
rate sensitivity of the Bank's assets and liabilities is continually monitored
by management. In this regard, the Bank emphasizes the origination of adjustable
rate assets for portfolio while originating longer term fixed rate assets for
resale. Additionally, the origination level of fixed rate assets are continually
monitored and if deemed appropriate, the Bank will enter into forward

                                       11
<PAGE>

commitments for the sale of these assets to ensure the Bank is not exposed to
undue interest rate risk.

The Bank utilizes its investment and mortgage-backed portfolio in managing its
liquidity and therefore seeks securities with a stated or estimated duration of
less than five years. These securities are readily marketable and provide the
Bank with a cash flow stream to fund asset growth or liability maturities.

A significant portion of the Bank's assets have been funded with CDs, including
jumbo CDs. Unlike other deposit products, such as checking and savings accounts,
CDs carry a high degree of interest rate sensitivity and therefore, their
renewal will vary based on the competitiveness of the Bank's interest rates. The
Bank has attempted to price its CDs to be competitive at the shorter maturities
(i.e., maturities of less than one year) in order to better match the repricing
characteristics of portfolio loans and the anticipated holding period for loans
held for sale.

The Bank utilizes borrowings from the FHLB and collateralized repurchase
agreements in managing its interest rate risk and as a tool to augment deposits
in funding asset growth. The Bank may utilize these funding sources to better
match its longer term repricing assets (i.e., between one and five years).

The nature of the Bank's current operations is such that it is not subject to
foreign currency exchange or commodity price risk. Additionally, neither the
Company nor the Bank owns any trading assets. At March 31, 1999, the Bank did
not have any hedging transactions in place, such as interest rate swaps, caps or
floors.

Interest rate Sensitivity Analysis. One measure of a bank's interest rate
sensitivity is through the use of a GAP analysis. Using a GAP analysis, the Bank
matches the extent to which its interest-earning assets and interest-bearing
liabilities mature or reprice within specified time horizons. The interest rate
sensitivity gap is defined as the excess of interest-earning assets maturing or
repricing within a specific time period over the interest-bearing liabilities
maturing or repricing within the same time period (a negative GAP for a
specified time period would indicate there are more liabilities than assets
maturing or repricing within that time period). The Bank attempts to maintain
its one and three year GAP positions within +/- 10% and +/- 15% of assets,
respectively.

The Company believes that Gap analysis is a useful measurement of asset and
liability management; however, it is difficult to predict the effect of changing
interest rates based solely on this measure. An additional analysis required by
the Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS") and generated quarterly is the OTS
Interest Rate Exposure Report. This report forecasts changes in the Bank's
market value of portfolio equity ("MVPE") under alternative interest rate
environments. The MVPE is defined as the net present value of the Bank's
existing assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet instruments.

Management believes that the assumptions utilized in evaluating the
vulnerability of the Company's earnings and capital to changes in interest rates
approximate actual experience; however, the interest rate sensitivity of the
Bank's assets and liabilities as well as the estimated effect of changes in
interest rates on MVPE could vary substantially if different assumptions are
used or actual experience differs from the experience on which the assumptions
were based.

In the event the Bank should experience a mismatch in its desired GAP ranges or
an excessive decline in its MVPE subsequent to an immediate and sustained change
in interest rate, it has a number of options which it could utilize to remedy
such mismatch. The Bank could restructure its investment portfolio through sale
or purchase of securities with more favorable repricing attributes. It could
also emphasize loan products with appropriate maturities or repricing attributes
or it could attract deposits or obtain borrowings with desired maturities.

Year 2000 Readiness

        The Company has adopted a Year 2000 policy to address the "Year 2000"
Issue concerning the inability of certain information systems and automated
equipment to properly recognize and process dates containing the Year 2000 and
beyond. If not corrected, these systems and equipment could produce inaccurate
or unpredictable results commencing on January 1, 2000. The Company, similar to
most financial services providers, is particularly vulnerable to the potential
impact of the Year 2000 Issue due to the nature of financial information.
Potential impacts to the Company may arise from software, computer hardware, and
other equipment both within the Company's direct control and outside of the
Company's ownership, yet with which the Company electronically or operationally
interfaces.

        In order to address the Year 2000 Issue, the Company has developed and
implemented a five phase compliance plan divided into the following major
components: (1) Awareness; (2) Assessment; (3) Renovation; (4) Validation and
Testing; and (5) Implementation. the company has completed the first three
phases of the plan for all of its mission-critical systems and is currently
working on the final two phases. Because the Company outsources the majority of
its data processing operations to Fiserv Solutions, Inc. ("Fiserv"), a provider
of data processing services to the financial services industry, a significant
component of the Year 2000 plan is to work with Fiserv to test and certify their
systems as Year 2000 compliant. Fiserv has informed the Company that, based upon
tests which it has conducted and is currently conducting, it believes its
systems are Year 2000 compliant. The Company successfully completed testing of
all mission critical systems in the Spring of 1999. Other important segments of
the Year 2000 plan are to identify those suppliers and customers whose possible
lack of Year 2000 preparedness might expose the Company to financial loss, and
to highlight any servicers of purchased loans or securities which might present
Year 2000 operating problems.

        The Company has no internally generated programmed software coding to
correct, substantially all of the software utilized by the Company is purchased
or licensed from external providers. The Company has initiated communications
with all of its significant suppliers to determine the extent to which the
Company is vulnerable to those third parties' failure to remediate their own
Year 2000 issues. The Company has received assurances from these third party
vendors of mission-critical products or services that they will be Year 2000
compliant. The Company has developed a contingency plan in the event their
systems malfunction at the change of the Century. At this time, the Company
cannot estimate the cost, if any, that might be required to implement such
contingency plan.

        The Company anticipates that its total Year 2000 project cost, exclusive
of any costs associated with the implementation of its contingency plan, will
not exceed $100,000. This estimated project cost is based upon currently
available information and includes expenses for the review and testing by third
parties, including government entities. However, their can be no guarantee that
the hardware, software, and systems of such third parties will be free of
unfavorable Year 2000 issues and therefore not present a material adverse impact
upon the Company. The aforementioned Year 2000 project cost estimate also may
change as the Company progresses in its Year 2000 program and obtains additional
information from and conducts further testing with third parties. At this time,
no significant projects have been delayed as a result of the Company's Year 2000
effort.

        Financial institution regulators have intensively focused upon Year 2000
exposures, issuing guidance concerning the responsibilities of senior management
and directors. Year 2000 testing and certification is being addressed as a key
safety and soundness issue in conjunction with regulatory exams. In May 1997,
the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council ("FFIEC") issued an
interagency statement to the chief executive officers of all federally
supervised financial institutions regarding Year 2000 project management
awareness. The FFIEC has highly prioritized Year 2000 compliance in order to
avoid major disruptions to the operations of financial institutions and the
country's financial systems when the new century begins. The FFIEC statement
provides guidance to financial institutions, providers of data services, and all
examining personnel of the federal banking agencies regarding the Year 2000
Issue.

                                       13
<PAGE>

        The federal banking agencies have been conducting Year 2000 compliance
examinations. The failure to implement an adequate Year 2000 program can be
identified as an unsafe and unsound banking practice. The Company and the Bank
are subject to regulation and supervision by the OTS which regularly conducts
review of the safety and soundness of the Company's operations, including the
Company's progress in becoming Year 2000 compliant. The OTS has established an
examination procedure which contains three categories of ratings:
"Satisfactory", "Needs Improvement", and "Unsatisfactory". Institutions that
receive a Year 2000 rating of Unsatisfactory may be subject to formal
enforcement action, supervisory agreements, cease and sesist orders, civil money
penalties, or the appointment of a conservator. In addition, federal regulators
reviewing applications may deny any application based on Year 2000 related
issues. Failure by the Company to adequately prepare for Year 2000 issues could
negatively impact the Company's banking operations, including the imposition of
restrictions upon its operations by the OTS.

        Despite the Company's activities in regards to the Year 2000 Issue,
there can be no assurance that partial or total systems interruptions or the
costs necessary to update hardware and software would not have a material
adverse effect upon the Company's business, financial condition, results of
operations, and business prospects.

PART II.   OTHER INFORMATION


Item 1. Legal Proceedings

           RECENT LITIGATION

During October 1998, one of the Bank's deposit customers ("Bank Depositor") had
approximately $1.3 million of dishonored money orders which resulted in its
account being deficient by a similar amount. The Bank has initiated a lawsuit in
the Court of Common Pleas of Philadelphia County against the money order company
which placed the stop payments on the money orders issued, and the Bank
Depositor; alleging, among other things, that the money orders were improperly
stopped and the Bank was a holder in due course and is therefore entitled to
reimbursement. The Bank is seeking reimbursement in the lawsuit. The Bank has
also initiated an involuntary bankruptcy proceedings against the Bank Depositor
in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.
The Bank is seeking to have a trustee preserve the assets of the Bank Depositor
in order that the Bank may receive partial reimbursement. An order for relief
under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code was granted on March 8, 1999. In December
1998, the Company recorded a pre-tax provision of $950,000 to provide for its
potential exposure with respect to the money orders. The Company believes its
litigation has strong merit; however, the provision was recorded because of the
length of time likely to transpire before the litigation is finalized and the
potential uncertainty associated therewith.
