NOTE 1 - PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

Thistle Group  Holdings,  Co., (the  "Company")  organized in March of 1998, has
four  wholly  owned  subsidiaries:  TGH Corp.,  TGH  Securities,  Thistle  Group
Holdings  Capital Trust I, and Roxborough  Manayunk Bank (the "Bank").  The Bank

eliminated in consolidation.

NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying  unaudited  consolidated  financial statements were prepared in
accordance with  instructions for Form 10-Q and,  therefore,  do not include all
information  necessary for a complete  presentation  of  consolidated  financial
condition,  results of operations,  and cash flows in conformity with accounting
principles  generally  accepted in the United  States of America.  However,  all
adjustments,  consisting of normal recurring accruals,  which, in the opinion of
management,  are necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial
statements,  have been  included.  The results of  operations  for the three and
six-month  periods  ended June 30, 2002 are not  necessarily  indicative  of the
results  which may be expected  for the entire  fiscal year or any other  future
interim period.

These unaudited  consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the consolidated financial statements and related notes, which are included
in the Company's  Annual Report to  stockholders on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2001.

NOTE 8 - EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic  earnings per share excludes  dilution and is computed by dividing  income
available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares
outstanding  for the period.  Diluted  earnings per share reflects the potential
dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock
were  exercised  or  converted  into common stock or resulted in the issuance of
common stock that then shared in the earnings of the Company.

NOTE 9 - COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

For the three and six-month  periods ended June 30, 2002,  the Company  reported
total  comprehensive   (loss)  income  of  approximately   $1,100  and  ($1,500)
respectively. For the three and six-month periods of the prior year, the Company
reported  total   comprehensive   income  of   approximately   $780  and  $6,200
respectively.  Items of other comprehensive income consisted of unrealized gains
or (losses), net of taxes, on available for sale securities and reclassification
adjustments for gains or (losses) included in net income.

NOTE 10 - DIVIDENDS

On June 19, 2002, the Company declared a dividend of $.08 per share payable July
15, 2002 to stockholders of record on June 30, 2002.

NOTE 11 - RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In June 2001, the Financial  Accounting  Standards Board ("FASB") issued two new
pronouncements:  SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations, and SFAS No. 142, Goodwill
and Other Intangible  Assets.  SFAS No. 141 is effective as follows:  (a) use of
the pooling-of-interest method is prohibited for business combinations initiated
after June 30, 2001;  and (b) the  provisions  of SFAS No. 141 also apply to all
business  combinations  accounted for by the purchase  method that are completed
after June 30, 2001.  SFAS No. 142 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2001 to all goodwill and other intangible  assets  recognized in an
entity's statement of financial position at that date,  regardless of when those
assets  were  initially  recognized.  However,  SFAS No. 142 does not change the
accounting   prescribed   for  certain   acquisitions   by  banking  and  thrift
institutions,  resulting  in continued  amortization  of the excess of cost over
fair value of net assets  acquired  under SFAS No. 72,  Accounting  for  Certain
Acquisitions  of  Banking or Thrift  Institutions.  In  October  2001,  the FASB
decided to undertake a limited scope project to reconsider  part of the guidance
in SFAS No. 72. In particular,  the FASB decided to reconsider the provisions of
that statement that require  recognition and  amortization of an  unidentifiable
intangible  asset-an asset that is sometimes referred to in practice as "SFAS 72
goodwill".  In March 2002, the FASB tentatively decided, that if the transaction
was a  business  combination  and the core  deposit  intangible  was  separately
recognized,  then  preparers  would  cease  amortization  of all  unidentifiable
intangible  assets. The FASB decided that the final Statement would be effective
upon  issuance  with  retroactive  restatement  for the  nonamortization  of the
unidentified  intangible asset to the beginning of the fiscal year in which SFAS
No. 142 was applied in its entirety.  At June 30, 2002,  as the final  Statement
has not yet been issued, the Company's "SFAS 72 goodwill" amounted to $7,318 and
was subject to amortization of $360 for the six months ended June 30, 2002.

In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145,  Rescission of FASB  Statements No.
4, 44, and 64,  Amendment of FASB  Statement No. 13, and Technical  Corrections.
The  provisions of this  statement  related to the  rescission of SFAS No. 4 are
effective  for fiscal years  beginning  after May 15, 2002.  Management  has not
determined the impact of applying these  provisions.  Certain  provisions of the
statement relating to SFAS No. 13 are effective for transactions occurring after
May 15, 2002. All other  provisions of the statement are effective for financial
statements  issued on or after May 15, 2002.  These  provisions had no impact on
the Company's financial statements.

In July 2002, the FASB issued Statement No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated
with Exit or Disposal  Activities.  The standard requires companies to recognize
costs associated with exit or disposal  activities when they are incurred rather
than at the date of a commitment to an exit or disposal plan.  Examples of costs
covered by the standard  include lease  termination  costs and certain  employee
severance  costs  that  are  associated  with  a   restructuring,   discontinued
operation,  plant closing, or other exit or disposal activity.  Statement 146 is
to be applied  prospectively  to exit or  disposal  activities  initiated  after
December 31, 2002

NOTE 12 - CAPITAL SECURITIES

On March 26, 2002, the Company formed a wholly-owned  subsidiary,  Thistle Group
Holdings Capital Trust I, a Delaware business trust (the "Trust").  On April 10,
2002,  the Trust sold $10.0 million of pooled  floating rate capital  securities
(the "Capital Securities") to MM Community Funding III, Ltd. with a stated value
and  liquidation  preference of $1,000 per share.  The  obligations of the Trust
under the Capital  Securities  are fully and  unconditionally  guaranteed by the
Company and the Trust has no independent  operations.  The entire  proceeds from
the sale of the Capital  Securities were used by the Trust to invest in floating
rate  junior   subordinated   debt   securities  of  the  Company  (the  "Junior
Subordinated  Debt").  The  Junior  Subordinated  Debt is  unsecured  and  ranks
subordinate and junior in right of payment to all indebtedness,  liabilities and

                                       8

<PAGE>

obligations of the Company.  The Junior  Subordinated  Debt is the sole asset of
the  Trust.  Interest  on the  Capital  Securities  is  cumulative  and  payable
semi-annually  in arrears.  The  Capital  Securities  mature in April 2032.  The
Company has the right to optionally redeem the Junior Subordinated Debt prior to
the maturity date, but no sooner than five years after the issuance,  at 100% of
the stated liquidation amount, plus accrued and unpaid distributions, if any, on
the redemption date. Upon the occurrence of certain events,  the Company has the
right to redeem the Junior  Subordinated  Debt in whole,  but not in part,  at a
special  redemption  price  before five years have  elapsed.  Proceeds  from any
redemption of the Junior Subordinated Debt will cause a mandatory  redemption of
Capital Securities having an aggregate liquidation amount equal to the principal
amount of the Junior Subordinated Debt redeemed.  Additionally,  under the terms
of the Junior  Subordinated  Debt, the Company will have the right, with certain
limitations, to defer the payment of interest on the Junior Subordinated Debt at
any  time for a period  not  exceeding  twenty  consecutive  quarterly  periods.
Consequently,  distributions  on the Capital  Securities  would be deferred  and
accumulate interest,  compounded  quarterly.  The Capital Securities were issued
without  registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,  in reliance
upon an exemption from registration as provided by Regulation S.

NOTE 13 - TENDER OFFER

During the quarter,  the Company  completed  its Issuer  Tender  Offer  ("ITO"),
repurchasing  1,129,000 shares at a price of $13.00 per share. The Company's ITO
expired at midnight on the evening of June 20, 2002.

                  THISTLE GROUP HOLDINGS, CO. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The  Private  Securities  Litigation  Reform Act of 1995  contains  safe  harbor
provisions regarding forward-looking  statements.  When used in this discussion,
the words  "believes",  "anticipates",  "contemplates",  "expects",  and similar
expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements
are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results
to differ materially from those projected. Those risks and uncertainties include
changes in interest  rates,  risks  associated  with the effect of opening a new
branch,  the  ability  to  control  costs  and  expenses,  new  legislation  and
regulations and general market conditions.

Overview
--------

The Company is having  outstanding  success  collecting core deposit  (checking,
money market and passbook)  accounts and originating  new loan accounts.  Robust
deposit  growth  continues  with total  deposits at June 30, 2002 exceeding $466
million up $49 million from $417 million a year ago. Loans outstanding increased
$51 million to $292  million  from $241  million a year ago.  Of such  increase,
commercial  real  estate and  commercial  loans  increased  $38 million and home
equity  loans and lines  increased  $10 million.  The ability to  implement  the
Company's  plan of loan  origination  and core deposit growth is firmly in place
and now  successfully  being  implemented  through  a  thirteen  banking  office
franchise.

</TABLE>

     o    Stockholders'  equity  decreased  $11.2  million  during the  quarter,
          primarily  due  to  the  Company's  issuer  tender  offer,  which  was
          completed on June 20, 2002. The Company  repurchased  1,129,000 shares
          at $13 per share, which reduced its outstanding common shares by 17%

     o    Checking accounts increased by $10.4 million or 17% for the quarter.

     o    Loans  receivable  increased  $13  million  or 4.7%  for the  quarter.
          Commercial  real estate and  commercial  loans grew $10.2  million and
          home equity loans and lines increased $4.8 million.

     o    TGH Securities'  trading  revenues  increased  $384,000 over the prior
          quarter  reflecting  the 58%  increase in  non-interest  income.  Such
          increase  reflects the cyclical  nature of the municipal note business
          during peak periods.

     o    The  increase  in  consolidated   non-interest   expense  is  directly
          attributable to increased  trading  revenues  partially  offset by the
          absence of $200,000 in costs in the first  quarter of the year related
          to the  Company's  contested  annual  meeting.  However,  non-interest
          expense  at the  Bank  level  remained  flat for the  quarter  at $3.6
          million.

On July 30, 2002 the President  signed into law the  Sarbanes-Oxley  Act of 2002
(the  "Act"),  following  an  investigative  order  proposed by the SEC on chief
financial officers and chief executive officers of 947 large public companies on
June 27, 2002. Additional regulations are expected to be promulgated by the SEC.
As a result  of the  accounting  restatements  by large  public  companies,  the
passage  of the Act and  regulations  expected  to be  implemented  by the  SEC,
publicly-registered   companies,  such  as  the  Company,  will  be  subject  to
additional reporting  regulations and disclosure.  These new regulations,  which
are  intended to curtail  corporate  fraud,  will  require  certain  officers to
personally certify certain SEC filings and financial  statements and may require
additional measures to be taken by our outside auditors, officers and directors.

Comparison of Financial Condition at June 30, 2002 from December 31, 2001
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Total assets were $791.3 million at June 30, 2002,  representing  an increase of
$70.9  million  from the balance of $720.4  million at December  31,  2001.  The
increase was due to an increase of $33 million in trading  securities  resulting
from the operations of TGH Securities.  In addition,  loans receivable increased
$33 million and were funded by an increase in deposits of $35 million.

Investments held to maturity decreased $12.4 million due to the sale of certain
agency securities of $14.9 million and calls of municipal bonds of $2.0 million,
offset by purchases of $4.7 million.

Trading  securities  increased  $33.4  million to $47.7 million at June 30, 2002
from $14.3 million at December 31, 2001.  Fluctuations in the balance of trading
securities are due to the operations of TGH Securities.

Loans  receivable  increased $32.6 million,  or 12.6%, to $291.8 million at June
30, 2002 from $259.2  million at December 31, 2001.  This increase was primarily
the result of $87.1 million of loan originations, offset by principal repayments
of  $45.6  million  and the  sale of $6.7  million  of  residential  loans.  The
residential  loans were sold to improve  interest  rate  risk.  The  transaction
generated a gain of $177,000.

Deposits  increased $34.7 million,  or 8.03%, to $466.3 million at June 30, 2002
from $431.6 million at December 31, 2001. NOW accounts, transaction checking and
money market accounts increased $26.2 million;  passbook accounts increased $9.3
million,  and certificates  decreased  $760,000 as a result of focused marketing
and  business  development  initiatives  aimed at building  the  Company's  core
deposit base as well as the addition of new banking offices.

Accounts payable and accrued  expenses  increased $34.7 million to $56.2 million
at June 30, 2002 from $21.5 million at December 31, 2001. The fluctuation is due
mainly  to   activity  at  TGH   Securities   and   represents   monies  due  to
brokers/dealers for securities purchased. This payable may fluctuate from period
to period,  depending  upon the amount of securities  owned by TGH Securities at
each quarter or yearend.

Total stockholders'  equity decreased $11.9 million to $73.5 million at June 30,
2002 from $85.4  million at December 31, 2001  primarily  due to treasury  stock
purchases from the company's  issuer tender offer of $14.7 million and dividends
paid  of  $1.0  million  offset  by  an a  increase  in  the  accumulated  other
comprehensive  income  of  $2.6  million  as a  result  of  changes  in the  net
unrealized  gain  on  the  available  for  sale  securities   portfolio  due  to
fluctuations  in the interest  rates and net income of $2.1 million.  Because of
interest rate changes,  the Company's  accumulated  other  comprehensive  income
(loss) may fluctuate for each interim and year-end period.

Comparison of Operations for the Three and Six-Month Periods Ended
June 30, 2002 and 2001
------------------------------------------------------------------


Net Income. Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2002 was $1.1 million
or $.19 diluted  earnings per share as compared to net income of $1.1 million or
$.17 diluted  earnings  per share for the three months ended June 30, 2001.  Net
income for the six months  ended June 30, 2002 was $2.1  million or $.35 diluted
earnings  per share as compared to net income of $2.1  million per share or $.32
diluted earnings per share for the same period of the prior year.

Total  Interest  Income.  Interest  income for the  quarter  ended June 30, 2002
decreased  $517,000  over the quarter  ended June 30, 2001,  primarily  due to a
decrease  in the  average  yield  of 89 basis  points,  partially  offset  by an
increase of $65.4  million in the average  balance of  interest-earning  assets.
Interest  income for the six months ended June 30, 2002  decreased  $1.6 million
over the six  months  ended June 30,  2001  primarily  due to a decrease  in the
average  yield of 93 basis  points  partially  offset  by an  increase  of $47.6
million in the average balance of interest-earning assets.

Total  Interest  Expense.  Interest  expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2002
decreased $1 million  over the quarter  ended June 30, 2001 due to a decrease in
the average cost of funds of 111 basis points,  partially  offset by an increase
in the  average  balance  of  interest-bearing  liabilities  of  $70.8  million.
Interest  expense for the six months ended June 30, 2002  decreased $2.3 million
over the six months ended June 30, 2001. The decrease in interest expense is due
to a decrease in the average cost of funds of 112 basis points  partially offset
by an increase in the average balance of  interest-bearing  liabilities of $52.1
million.

Net Interest  Income.  Net interest  income for the quarter  ended June 30, 2002
increased  $478,000 or 11.3% over the quarter ended June 30, 2001.  Net interest
income for the six months  ended June 30, 2002  increased  $682,000 or 7.8% over
the six months ended June 30, 2001.

Provision  for Losses on Loans.  The provision for losses on loans for the three
and six months ended June 30, 2002 totaled $200,000 and $350,000,  respectively,
as compared to $120,000 and $240,000 for the same periods in 2001.  The increase
in the provision for losses on loans for the three and six months ended June 30,
2002,  as compared to the same  periods in 2001,  is  precipitated  by increased
non-performing loans and a larger loan portfolio,  specifically  commercial real
estate loans,  commercial  non-mortgage  loans and construction  loans-net.  See
"Note 6 - Loans  Receivable  to the Notes To  Unaudited  Condensed  Consolidated
Financial  Statements."  Provisions  for loan  losses are charged to earnings to
bring the total allowance for loan losses to a level  considered  appropriate by
management  based on  historical  experience,  the  volume  and type of  lending
conducted by the Company,  the amount of the Company's  classified  assets,  the
status of past due principal and interest payments, general economic conditions,
particularly  as they relate to the  Company's  primary  market area,  and other
factors  related  to  the   collectibility  of  the  Company's  loan  portfolio.
Management  will continue to review its loan  portfolio to determine the extent,
if any,  to which  additional  loss  provisions  may be  deemed  necessary.  The
allowance  for loan  losses  is at a level  that  represents  management's  best
estimates of losses in the loan  portfolio at the balance sheet date.  There can
be no assurance  that the allowance for losses will be adequate to cover losses,
which may in fact be realized in the future, and that additional  provisions for
losses will not be required.

Other Income.  Non-interest income for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 increased
$73,000 over the quarter  ended June 30, 2001.  Non-interest  income for the six
months ended June 30, 2002 increased $243,000 over the six months ended June 30,
2001.  The quarter and six months ended June 30, 2001  reflected  net  operating
losses of $57,000 and $303,000,  respectively,  for a subsidiary's investment in
small business  investment  companies.  Such losses were not recurring items for
the same  comparative  periods of 2002.  Trading  revenues  from TGH  Securities
increased   $148,000  and  $87,000  for  the  quarter  and  six  months   ended,
respectively, versus the same periods of the prior year.

Non-interest Expenses. Non-interest expense for the quarter and six months ended
June  30,  2002  increased  $595,000  and  $905,000,   respectively,   over  the
comparative 2001 periods.  Salaries and employee benefits increased $247,000 and
$250,000,  respectively, over the same periods of the prior year. Such increases
are due to the variable  nature of compensation  for TGH Securities'  personnel,
the addition of personnel in lending and for two new banking  offices as well as
normal salary  increases.  Occupancy and equipment costs increased  $101,000 and
$180,000,  respectively,  over the same periods of the prior year. The increases
were due to  depreciation  expense  in  connection  with the  completion  of the
installation of a new  enterprise-wide  telephone system in the first quarter of
2002 as well as additional  equipment purchases and related expenses for two new
banking offices.  Professional fees remained flat for the quarter ended June 30,
2002  versus the prior year  period and  increased  $184,000  for the six months
ended June 30, 2002 versus the prior year period. The increase for the six-month
period was related to fees incurred in connection  with the Company's  contested
Annual  Meeting  held in April  2002.  Other  expenses  increased  $104,000  and
$131,000,  respectively,  due to increases in payroll taxes, telephone expenses,
and other printing and mailing expenses  resulting from the Company's  contested
Annual Meeting.

Critical Accounting Policies
----------------------------

In  Management's  opinion,  the most critical  accounting  policy  impacting the
Company's  financial  statements  is the  evaluation  of the  allowance for loan
losses.  Management  carefully monitors the credit quality of the loan portfolio
and makes estimates about the amount of credit losses that have been incurred at
each financial statement date. Management evaluates the fair value of collateral
supporting the impaired loans using independent appraisals and other measures of
fair value.  This process involves  subjective  judgments and assumptions and is
subject  to change  based on  factors  that may be  outside  the  control of the
Company.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
-------------------------------

On June 30, 2002 the Bank was in compliance  with its three  regulatory  capital
requirements as follows:

The Company's  primary sources of funds are deposits,  borrowings,  and proceeds
from principal and interest  payments on loans,  mortgage-backed  securities and
other  investments.  While  maturities and scheduled  amortization  of loans and
mortgage-backed  securities are a predictable source of funds, deposit flows and
mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates,  economic
conditions,  competition  and the  consolidation  of the  financial  institution
industry.

The primary  investment  activity of the Company is the origination and purchase
of mortgage loans, mortgage-backed securities and other investments.  During the
six months ended June 30, 2002, the Company originated $87.1 million of mortgage
loans. The Company also purchases loans and mortgage-backed securities to reduce
liquidity   not  otherwise   required  for  local  loan  demand.   Purchases  of
mortgage-backed  securities  totaled $94.5 million  during the six-month  period
ended June 30, 2002.  Other  investment  activities  include  investment in U.S.
government  and federal agency  obligations,  municipal  bonds,  debt and equity
investments in financial  services firms, FHLB of Pittsburgh  stock,  commercial
and consumer loans.

The Company's  most liquid assets are cash and cash  equivalents,  which include
investments in highly liquid, short-term investments.  The level of these assets
is dependent on the Company's  operating,  financing  and  investing  activities
during any given period.  At June 30, 2002,  cash and cash  equivalents  totaled
$31.2 million. The Bank's liquidity ratio was 7.07% at June 30, 2002.

The Company anticipates that it will have sufficient funds available to meet its
current  commitments.  As of June 30,  2002,  the Company  had $35.1  million in
commitments  to fund loans.  Certificates  of deposit,  which were  scheduled to
mature  in one  year or  less,  as of June  30,  2002  totaled  $158.1  million.
Management believes that a significant portion of such deposits will remain with
the Company.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
----------------------------------------------------------

Qualitative  Analysis.  There have been no material changes from the Qualitative
Analysis  information  regarding  market risk  disclosed  under the heading "Net
Portfolio  Value" in the  Company's  Management's  Discussion  and  Analysis  of
Financial  Condition and Results of Operations  included in the annual report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001.

Quantitative  Analysis.  Exposure to interest rate risk is actively monitored by
management.  The  Company's  objective  is to  maintain  a  consistent  level of
profitability  within  acceptable  risk  tolerances  across  a  broad  range  of
potential  interest  rate  environments.  The Company uses the OTS Net Portfolio
Value  ("NPV")  Model to monitor  its  exposure  to  interest  rate risk,  which
calculates  changes in net portfolio value.  Reports  generated from assumptions
provided  and  modified  by  management  are  reviewed  by  the  Asset/Liability
Management  Committee  and  reported to the Board of  Directors  quarterly.  The
Interest Rate Sensitivity of Net the Net Portfolio Value Report shows the degree
to which  balance  sheet  line  items and net  portfolio  value are  potentially
affected  by a 100 to 300  basis  point  (1  basis  point  equals  1/100th  of a
percentage  point)  upward and downward  parallel  shift (shock) in the Treasury
yield curve.

Since the NPV  Model  measures  exposure  to  interest  rate risk of the Bank to
assure capital  adequacy for the protection of the  depositors,  only the Bank's
financial  information is used for the model.  However,  the Bank is the primary
subsidiary  and most  significant  asset of the Company,  therefore  the OTS NPV
model provides a reliable basis upon which to perform the quantitative analysis.
The  following  table  presents the Bank's NPV as of June 30, 2002.  The NPV was
calculated by the OTS, based on information provided by the Bank.

ITEM 1.    LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Company has been a party to a legal proceeding  involving a shareholder that
conducted  an  election  of  director's  contest,   Jewelcor  Management,   Inc.
("Jewelcor").  On March 19, 2002, Jewelcor filed a legal proceeding in the Court
of Common Pleas of  Philadelphia  County,  Pennsylvania  against the Company and
each of its  directors.  The  proceeding  requested  preliminary  and  permanent
injunctive relief and a declaratory  judgment to postpone the Company's April 3,
2002  Annual  Meeting of  Stockholders.  On March 26,  2002,  the court  granted
Jewelcor's  petition for a preliminary  injunction to delay the Company's Annual
Meeting to a date no earlier than April 17, 2002. The Company  complied with the
court's  order and held its Annual  Meeting of  Stockholders  on April 17, 2002.
However,  on March 27, 2002, the Company and each of its directors  appealed the
court's order and on April 29, 2002,  the Company filed  preliminary  objections
asking  the court to dismiss  Jewelcor's  action  since it was moot and  legally
defective.  Because the case is  substantially  moot,  the Company  withdrew its
appeal in early July,  and the only remaining  issue is one of attorneys'  fees.
Currently,  the Company  does not believe  that this matter will have a material
effect on its financial statements.

The  Company  and each of its  directors  also  have  been a party to a  second,
similar legal  proceeding  that Jewelcor filed on June 11, 2002, in the Court of
Common Pleas of Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania.  This action seeks damages in
connection  with the  Company's  rescheduling  of its 2002 Annual  Meeting,  the
amendment of its by-laws and the July 2002 tender  offer.  The Company has filed
preliminary objections asking the court to dismiss Jewelcor's action as moot and
legally defective. Currently, the Company does not believe that this matter will
have a material effect on its financial statements.

In  addition,  from  time to  time,  the  Company  is a party to  routine  legal
proceedings in the ordinary course of business, such as claims to enforce liens,
condemnation  proceedings  on  properties  in which the Company holds a security
interest,  claims involving the making and servicing of real property loans, and
other issues incident to the business of the Company.  In the Company's opinion,
such lawsuits  pending or known to be  contemplated  against the Company at June
30,  2002  would  have no  material  effect on the  operations  or income of the
Company or the Bank, taken as a whole.
