--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The unaudited consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2000, and for
the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 include the
accounts of Crusader Holding Corporation (the "Company") and its wholly-owned
subsidiary, Crusader Savings Bank, FSB (the "Bank"), along with the Bank's
wholly owned and majority owned subsidiaries. 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 three and nine month
periods ended March 31, 2000 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 equivalent shares are stock options,
warrants and similar items. In converting the common equivalent shares 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 equivalent
shares are used to repurchase outstanding common 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 all stock dividends, including the 5% stock dividend paid October 14,
1999. Basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding were 3,876,000 and
4,025,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2000, and March 31, 1999,
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.

None

5. RECENT LITIGATION

During October 1998, one of the Bank's deposit customers (the "Bank Depositor")
had deposited 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 had 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 proceeding
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. On June 9, 1999 a permanent trustee was elected as
trustee in the Chapter 7 case (the "Chapter 7 Trustee"). The Bank has filed a
proof of claim in the Chapter 7 case for the deficiency in the Bank Depositor's
account. The Chapter 7 Trustee is investigating potential causes of action and
recoveries arising out of or relating to the stopped money orders for the
benefit of the Bank Depositor's creditors, including the Bank. 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
state court litigation has strong merit and that it can recover a substantial
portion of its claim in the Chapter 7 case; 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.


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 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year
ended June 30, 1999. Unaudited results of operations for the three and nine
month periods ended March 31, 2000 are compared to the unaudited results of
operations for the comparable periods ended March 31, 1999. Such information is
based upon the historical financial information available as of the dates
indicated. Results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended
March 31, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of results to be attained for any
other period.

Statements regarding the Company's expectations as to financial results and
other aspects of its business set forth herein or otherwise made in writing or
orally by the Company may constitute forward looking statements within the
meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Although the
Company believes that its expectations are based on reasonable assumptions
within the bounds of its knowledge of its business and operations, there can be
no assurance that actual results will not differ materially from its
expectations. Factors that might cause or contribute to such differences
include, but are not limited to, uncertainty of future profitability, changing
economic conditions and monetary policies, uncertainty of interest rates, risks
inherent in banking transactions, the impact of recent action to limit the
Bank's asset growth and any related future actions by the Office of Thrift
Supervision ("OTS") competition, extent of government regulations, and delay in
or failure in obtaining regulatory approvals.

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. The
Company's lending products include conforming and nonconforming credit
residential mortgages, consumer and home equity loans, multi-family residential
and non-residential real estate loans, SBA loans, and secured property tax


                                       8
<PAGE>

liens. In order to manage its liquidity and interest rate risk, the Company
maintains an investment portfolio consisting of bonds and mortgage-backed
securities, most of which are investment quality. The Company'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 Company's investment securities. The Company'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 Company's net income is
impacted by its loan loss provision, non-interest income (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 mortgage operations).

FINANCIAL CONDITION

The Company's assets increased to $378.5 million at March 31, 2000 compared to
$307.3 million at June 30, 1999. The increase in assets primarily reflects the
deployment of proceeds from certificates of deposit and FHLB advances into
loans. At March 31, 2000, the loan portfolio aggregated $261.4 million compared
to $187.7 million at June 30, 1999, with the growth concentrated in commercial
real estate loans, including loans secured by apartment buildings and mixed use
properties, conforming adjustable rate residential mortgages and short-term
consumer loans. Loans held for sale decreased to $55.2 million at March 31, 2000
compared to $74.7 million at June 30, 1999. This decrease resulted primarily
from a decrease in the volume of conforming mortgage originations due to higher
market interest rates and the elimination of the Bank's National Chinese
Mortgage and Crusader Mortgage Corporation of Delaware mortgage banking
operations. Nonconforming mortgage loans available for sale aggregated $28.0
million at March 31, 2000, with the balance in conforming loans available for
sale. The Company has de-emphasized the origination of nonconforming mortgage
loans in the last year, and intends to further reduce the existing portfolio of
such loans. Cash and cash equivalents aggregated $9.6 million at March 31, 2000
compared to $6.1 million at June 30, 1999. Deposits were $212.9 at March 31,
2000 as compared to $189.1 million at June 30, 1999, reflecting primarily an
increase in certificates of deposit. FHLB advances increased to $123.2 million
at March 31, 2000 from $80.3 million at June 30, 1999 as these borrowings were
utilized in part to fund asset growth. Shareholders' equity increased by $3.5
million due primarily to net income generated during the period, which was
offset by $966,000 of stock repurchases as well as a $910,000 increase in
unrealized losses on securities available for sale.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three months ended March 31, 2000 versus three months ended March 31, 2000. Net
income increased to $1.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2000 as
compared to $1.4 million for the comparable prior period. Net interest income
increased by $2.1 million, of which $1.2 million related to the Company's new
short-term consumer loan product. Excluding short-term consumer loans, net
interest income increased by $900,000 million or 36.38%, due primarily to a
$98.6 million growth in average earning assets, partially offset by a decrease
in the net yield on interest earning assets to 3.85% as compared to 3.90% in the
prior year period. The provision for loan losses was increased to $795,000 for
the three months ended March 31, 2000 as compared to $163,000 for the prior year
period, of which $545,000 related to the Company's new short-term consumer loan
product. Non-interest income decreased by $591,000 due primarily to a decrease
of $475,000 in mortgage banking revenue and to a lesser extent a decrease in
loan fees and other non-interest income. The reduction in mortgage banking
revenues is consistent with the Company's strategy to de-emphasize the
origination and resale of nonconforming loans in the current year, and
the elimination of the Bank's National Chinese Mortgage Corporation and Crusader
Mortgage Corporation of Delaware mortgage banking operations. Non-interest
expenses increased to $1.4 million as compared to $1.2 million, due primarily to
an increase in core operating expenses of $169,000 to accommodate the growth in
assets.

Nine months ended March 31, 2000 versus nine months ended March 31, 1999. Net
income increased to $5.4 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2000 as
compared to $4.0 million (before a previously disclosed December 1998 one-time
after-tax charge of $608,000) for the comparable prior period. Net interest


                                       9
<PAGE>

income increased by $5.9 million, of which $2.9 million related to the Company's
new short-term consumer loan product. Excluding short-term consumer loans, net
interest income increased by $3.0 million or 42.25%, due primarily to a $100.5
million growth in average earning assets, partially offset by a decrease in the
net yield on interest earning assets to 4.01% as compared to 4.09% in the prior
year period. The provision for loan losses was increased to $2.3 million for the
nine months ended March 31, 2000 as compared to $513,000 for the prior year
period, of which $1.4 million related to the Company's new short-term consumer
loan product. Non-interest income decreased by $1.8 million due primarily to a
decrease of $2.0 million in mortgage banking revenues. Non-interest expenses
increased by $292,000 (excluding the one-time charge in 1998) due primarily to
an increase in core operating expenses to accommodate the growth in assets.

As a result of a recent examination by the OTS, The Bank has entered into a
supervisory agreement with the OTS effective April 26, 2000. Effective for the
quarter ended March 31, 2000, the Bank is required to limit its ongoing
quarterly asset growth based on the interest credited on its deposits each
quarter and certain other factors. The agreement also requires the Bank to
enhance its policies and procedures and its management, internal control and
audit functions. With a view to the eventual lifting of the asset growth
restrictions once the Bank has addressed the OTS examination concerns, the
agreement provides for the Bank to submit to the OTS updated prudent asset
growth and diversification policies. However, there can be no assurance that the
OTS will remove the asset growth restriction in any particular time period.

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 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 completed each of the phases of the plan for all of
its mission-critical systems prior to December 31, 1999. 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 has been and 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
prior to December 31, 1999, it believes its systems are Year 2000 compliant.
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 communicated 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 or thereafter.

As of December 31, 1999, the Company's Year 2000 project cost, exclusive of any
costs associated with the implementation of its contingency plan did not exceed
the estimated cost of $100,000. At this time, no significant projects have been
delayed as a result of the Company's Year 2000 effort.


                                       10
<PAGE>

The Company did not experience any Year 2000 disruptions on January 1, 2000;
however, because Year 2000 issues may arise at any time subsequent to January 1,
2000, there can be no assurance that the Company will not experience Year 2000
disruptions in the future and that such disruptions would not have a material
adverse effect upon the Company's business, financial condition, results of
operations and business prospects.

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 compliance in order to
avoid major disruptions to the operations of financial institutions and the
country's financial systems on January 1, 2000. 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.

The federal banking agencies have conducted Year 2000 compliance examinations.
The Company and the Bank are subject to regulation and supervision by the OTS
which regularly conducts reviews 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 desist 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. In its most recent Year 2000 compliance examination, the Bank
received a "Satisfactory" rating. 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.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

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

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
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 for the origination and acquisition of
loans, the funding of maturing deposits and the repayment of borrowings. Based
upon management's current business strategy, management believes that the
Company's 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.

<PAGE>

Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended March 31,
2000 was $27.1 million as compared to $26.3 million of net cash used in the
comparable prior year period. The change in net cash provided or used by
operating activities primarily relates to the change in the level of loans
available-for-sale. Net cash used in investing activities was $87.6 million and
$49.8 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.
During each period, the primary use was the funding of the growth in the Bank's
loan portfolio. Net cash provided by financing activities was $63.9 million ans
$75.2 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively,
as deposits and borrowings were used to finance the previously noted growth in
the 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"). The Bank's capital
growth during the period presented has come primarily from internally generated
earnings.

The following table sets forth the Bank's regulatory capital levels at March 31,
2000.

</TABLE>

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
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 generally 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 customarily priced 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. During the quarter ended December 31, 1999, the Bank began to
offer a competitively priced retail certificate of deposit with a maturity term
of two years. The program is monitored on an ongoing basis and will be managed
based upon the interest rate risk profile of the Bank and the overall market
interest rate environment. In order to hedge interest rate exposure, the Bank
entered into several interest rate swaps with the FHLB during the quarter
aggregating approximately $40 million. At March 31, 2000, approximately 88% of
the Bank's deposits were CDs.


                                       12
<PAGE>

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, 2000, other than the
above referenced deposit swaps with the FHLB, the Bank did not have any hedging
transactions in place, such as 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.

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 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.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

There are various claims and lawsuits in which the Company or the Bank are
periodically involved, such as claims to enforce liens, condemnation proceedings
on properties in which the Bank holds security interests, claims involving the
making and servicing of real property loans, and other issues incident to the
Bank's business. In the opinion of management, there are no material pending
claims or lawsuits.

During October 1998, one of the Bank's deposit customers (the "Bank Depositor")
had deposited 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 had 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 proceeding
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. On June 9, 1999 a permanent trustee was elected as
trustee in the Chapter 7 case (the "Chapter 7 Trustee"). The Bank has filed a
proof of claim in the Chapter 7 case for the deficiency in the Bank Depositor's
account. The Chapter 7 Trustee is investigating potential causes of action and
recoveries arising out of or relating to the stopped money orders for the
benefit of the Bank Depositor's creditors, including the Bank. 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
state court litigation has strong merit and that it can recover a substantial
portion of its claim in the Chapter 7 case; 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.
