ITEM 1.   BUSINESS
          --------

General

     Northwest Bancorp, Inc.

     Northwest Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") is a Pennsylvania corporation that
was formed to become the stock holding company of Northwest Savings Bank (the
"Bank") in a transaction (the "Two-Tier Reorganization") that was approved by
the Bank's stockholders on December 10, 1997, and completed on February 17,
1998. In the Two-Tier Reorganization, each share of the Bank's common stock was
converted into and became a share of common stock of the Company, par value
$0.10 per share (the "Common Stock"), and the Bank became a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company. Northwest Bancorp, MHC (the "Mutual Holding
Company"), which owned a majority of the Bank's outstanding shares of common
stock immediately prior to completion of the Two-Tier Reorganization, became the
owner of the same percentage of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the
Company immediately following the completion of the Two-Tier Reorganization. As
of June 30, 1999, the sole activity of the Company was the ownership of all of
the issued and outstanding common stock of the Bank and of Jamestown Savings
Bank ("Jamestown"). Jamestown was formed in November of 1995 as a de novo New
York-chartered savings bank headquartered in Jamestown, New York.

     As of June 30, 1999, the Company, through the Bank and Jamestown, operated
94 community banking offices throughout its market area in northwest, southwest
and central Pennsylvania, southwestern New York, and eastern Ohio. The Company,
through the Bank and its wholly owned subsidiaries, also operates 35 consumer
lending offices throughout Pennsylvania and one consumer lending office in New
York. The Company has focused its lending activities primarily on the
origination of loans secured by first mortgages on owner-occupied, one- to
four-family residences. The Company, directly or through its subsidiaries, also
emphasizes the origination of consumer loans, including home equity, second
mortgage, education and other consumer loans. To a lesser extent, the Company
also originates multifamily residential and commercial real estate loans and
commercial business loans.

     The Company's principal sources of funds are deposits, borrowed funds and
the principal and interest payments on loans and marketable securities. The
principal source of income is interest received from loans and marketable
securities. The Company's principal expenses are the interest paid on deposits
and the cost of employee compensation and benefits.

     The Company's principal executive office is located at Liberty and Second
Streets, Warren, Pennsylvania, and its telephone number at that address is (814)
726-2140.

     Northwest Savings Bank

     The Bank is a Pennsylvania-chartered stock savings bank headquartered in
Warren, which is located in northwestern Pennsylvania. The Bank is a community-
oriented institution offering traditional deposit and loan products, and through
a subsidiary, consumer finance services. The Bank's mutual savings bank
predecessor was founded in 1896. The Bank in its current stock form was
established on November 2, 1994, as a result of the reorganization (the
"Reorganization") of the Bank's mutual predecessor into a mutual holding company
structure. At the time of the Reorganization, the Bank issued a majority of its
to-be outstanding shares of common stock to the Mutual Holding Company (which
was formed in connection with the Reorganization) and a minority of its to-be
outstanding shares to stockholders other than the Mutual Holding Company.

     The Bank's principal executive office is located at Liberty and Second
Streets, Warren, Pennsylvania, and its telephone number at that address is (814)
726-2140.

     Jamestown Savings Bank

     Jamestown began operations on November 9, 1995 as a de novo New York
state-chartered stock savings bank. The bank was organized to engage in the
retail savings bank business in the area surrounding Jamestown, New York, which
is located in Chautauqua County.

     Jamestown was capitalized through an initial public offering of 761,866
shares of common stock, 400,000 shares, or 52.5%, of which were purchased by the
Mutual Holding Company. The Mutual Holding Company continued to accumulate
additional ownership in Jamestown and in February 1998 sold its entire ownership
position consisting of 490,050 shares to the Company. On July 8, 1998 the
Company conducted a tender offer for the remaining shares of Jamestown, and
acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of Jamestown as of July 31, 1998.

     As of June 30, 1999, Jamestown had four offices in southwestern New York.

Market Area

     The Company has been, and intends to continue to be, a community-oriented
financial institution offering a wide variety of financial services to meet the
needs of the communities it serves. The Company is headquartered in Warren,
Pennsylvania which is located in the northwestern region of Pennsylvania, and
the Company has its highest concentration of deposits and loans in the portion
of its office network located in northwestern Pennsylvania. Over the past eight
years the Company has expanded, primarily through acquisitions, into the
southwestern and central regions of Pennsylvania. As of June 30, 1999, the
Company operated in Pennsylvania 88 community banking offices and 35 consumer
finance offices, located in the following counties: Allegheny, Armstrong,
Bedford, Butler, Centre, Chester, Clarion, Clearfield, Clinton, Crawford,
Cumberland, Dauphin, Elk, Erie, Fayette, Huntingdon, Indiana, Jefferson,
Lawrence, Lancaster, Lebanon, Luzerne, Lycoming, McKean, Mifflin, Schuylkill,
Venango, Warren, Washington, Westmoreland and York. In addition, the Company
operated community banking offices in Ashtabula County, Ohio and Lake County,
Ohio. Through Jamestown, the Company operated three community banking offices in
Chautauqua County, New York and one community banking office in Cattaraugus
County, New York. The Company, through the Bank and its subsidiaries, also
operates one consumer finance office in southwestern New York.

Lending Activities

     General. Historically, the principal lending activity of the Company has
been the origination, for retention in its portfolio, of fixed-rate and, to a
lesser extent, adjustable-rate mortgage loans collateralized by one- to
four-family residential real estate located in its market area. To a lesser
extent, the Company also originates loans collateralized by multifamily
residential and commercial real estate, construction loans, commercial business
loans and consumer loans.

     In an effort to manage interest rate risk, the Company has sought to make
its interest-earning assets more interest rate sensitive by originating
adjustable-rate loans, such as adjustable-rate mortgage loans, home equity
loans, and education loans, and by originating short-term and medium-term
fixed-rate consumer loans. The Company also purchases mortgage-backed securities
that generally have adjustable interest rates. Because the Company also
originates a substantial amount of long-term fixed-rate mortgage loans
collateralized by one- to four-family residential real estate, when possible,
such loans are originated and underwritten according to standards that allow the
Company to sell them in the secondary mortgage market for purposes of managing
interest-rate risk and liquidity. The Company currently sells in the secondary
market a limited amount of fixed-rate residential mortgage loans with maturities
of more than 15 years, and retains all adjustable-rate mortgage loans and
fixed-rate residential mortgage loans with maturities of 15 years or less. The
Company is primarily a portfolio lender and at any one time the Company holds
only a nominal amount of loans identified as available-for-sale. The Company
retains servicing on the mortgage loans it sells and realizes monthly service
fee income. The Company retains in its portfolio all consumer loans, multifamily
residential and commercial real estate loans, and commercial business loans that
it originates.

     One- to Four-Family Residential Real Estate Loans. The primary lending
activity of the Company consists of the origination for retention in the
Company's portfolio of owner-occupied one- to four-family residential mortgage
loans secured by properties located in the Company's market area.

     The Company currently offers one- to four-family residential mortgage loans
with terms typically ranging from 10 to 30 years, with either adjustable or
fixed interest rates. Originations of fixed-rate mortgage loans versus
adjustable-rate mortgage loans are monitored on an ongoing basis and are
affected significantly by such things as the level of market interest rates,
customer preference, the Company's interest rate sensitivity position and loan
products offered by the Company's competitors. Therefore, even when management's
strategy is to increase the originations of adjustable-rate mortgage loans,
market conditions may be such that there is greater demand for fixed-rate
mortgage loans.

     The Company's fixed-rate loans, whenever possible, are originated and
underwritten according to standards that permit sale in the secondary mortgage
market. Whether the Company can or will sell fixed-rate loans into the secondary
market, however, depends on a number of factors including the yield and the term
of the loan, market conditions, and the Company's current liquidity and interest
rate sensitivity position. The Company historically has been primarily a
portfolio lender, and at any one time the Company has held only a nominal amount
of loans that may be sold. The Company's current policy is to retain in its
portfolio fixed-rate loans with terms of 15 years or less, and sell a limited
amount of fixed-rate loans (servicing retained) with terms of more than 15
years. Moreover, the Company is more likely to retain fixed-rate loans if its
interest rate sensitivity is within acceptable limits. The Company's mortgage
loans are amortized on a monthly basis with principal and interest due each
month. One- to four-family residential real estate loans often remain
outstanding for significantly shorter periods than their contractual terms
because borrowers may refinance or prepay loans at their option.

                                       5
<PAGE>

     The Company currently offers adjustable-rate mortgage loans with initial
interest rate adjustment periods of one and three years, based on changes in a
designated market index. The Company determines whether a borrower qualifies for
an adjustable-rate mortgage loan based on the fully indexed rate of the
adjustable-rate mortgage loan at the time the loan is originated. One- to
four-family residential adjustable-rate mortgage loans totalled $39.5 million,
or 1.7% of the Company's total loan portfolio at June 30, 1999.

     The primary purpose of offering adjustable-rate mortgage loans is to make
the Company's loan portfolio more interest rate sensitive. However, as the
interest income earned on adjustable-rate mortgage loans varies with prevailing
interest rates, such loans may not offer the Company as predictable cash flows
as long-term, fixed-rate loans. Adjustable-rate mortgage loans carry increased
credit risk associated with potentially higher monthly payments by borrowers as
general market interest rates increase. It is possible, therefore, that during
periods of rising interest rates, the risk of default on adjustable-rate
mortgage loans may increase due to the upward adjustment of interest costs to
the borrower.

     The Company's one- to four-family residential first mortgage loans
customarily include due-on-sale clauses, which are provisions giving the Company
the right to declare a loan immediately due and payable in the event, among
other things, that the borrower sells or otherwise disposes of the underlying
real property serving as security for the loan. Due-on-sale clauses are an
important means of adjusting the rates on the Company's fixed-rate mortgage loan
portfolio, and the Company has generally exercised its rights under these
clauses.

     Regulations limit the amount that a savings bank may lend relative to the
appraised value of the real estate securing the loan, as determined by an
appraisal at the time of loan origination. Appraisals are generally performed by
the Company's in-house appraisal staff. Such regulations permit a maximum
loan-to-value ratio of 90% for residential property and 80% for all other real
estate loans. The Company's lending policies generally limit the maximum
loan-to-value ratio on both fixed-rate and adjustable-rate mortgage loans
without private mortgage insurance to 80% of the lesser of the appraised value
or the purchase price of the real estate that serves as collateral for the loan.
The Company makes a limited amount of one- to four-family real estate loans with
loan-to-value ratios in excess of 80%. For one- to four-family real estate loans
with loan-to-value ratios in excess of 80%, the Company generally requires the
borrower to obtain private mortgage insurance on the entire amount of the loan.
The Company requires fire and casualty insurance, as well as a title guaranty
regarding good title, on all properties securing real estate loans made by the
Company.

     In the past, the Company purchased loans that are serviced by other
institutions and that are secured by one-to four-family residences. At June 30,
1999, the Company's portfolio of loans serviced by others totaled $2.5 million.
The Company currently has no formal plans to enter into new loan participations.

     Included in the Company's $1.695 billion of one- to four-family residential
real estate loans are $17.6 million, or .76% of the Company's total loan
portfolio, of construction loans and land loans. The Company offers fixed- and
adjustable-rate residential construction loans primarily for the construction of
owner-occupied one- to four-family residences in the Company's market area to
builders or to owners who have a contract for construction. Construction loans
are generally structured to become permanent loans, and are originated with
terms of up to 30 years with an allowance of up to one year for construction.
During the construction phase the loans have either a fixed-rate or an
adjustable interest rate that adjusts monthly and convert into either a
fixed-rate or an adjustable-rate mortgage loan at the end of the construction
period. Upon completion of the construction, the permanent loan is priced to
reflect a rate no lower than current interest rates on one- to four-family
mortgage loans. Advances are made as construction is completed. In addition, the
Company originates loans within its market area that are secured by individual
unimproved or improved lots. Land loans are currently offered with fixed-rates
for terms of up to 5 years. The maximum loan-to-value ratio for the Company's
land loans is 75% of the appraised value, and the maximum loan-to-value ratio
for the Company's construction loans is 80% of the lower of cost or appraised
value.

     Construction lending generally involves a greater degree of credit risk
than other one- to four-family residential mortgage lending. The repayment of
the construction loan is often dependent upon the successful completion of the
construction project. Construction delays or the inability of the borrower to
sell the property once construction is completed may impair the borrower's
ability to repay the loan.

     Multifamily Residential and Commercial Real Estate Loans. The Company's
multifamily residential real estate loans are secured by multifamily residences,
such as rental properties. The Company's commercial real estate loans are
secured by nonresidential properties such as hotels, church property, and retail
establishments. At June 30, 1999, a significant portion of the Company's
multifamily residential and commercial real estate loans were secured by
properties located within the Company's market area. The Company's largest
multifamily residential real estate loan relationship at June 30, 1999, had a
principal balance of $5.4 million, and was collateralized by a personal care
facility in McKean County, Pennsylvania. The Company's largest commercial real
estate loan at June 30, 1999, had a principal balance of $7.1 million and was
collateralized by land and real estate in St. George, Utah. Multifamily
residential and commercial real estate loans are offered with both adjustable
interest rates and fixed interest rates. The terms of each multifamily
residential and commercial real estate loan are negotiated on a case-by-case
basis. The Company generally makes multifamily residential and commercial real
estate loans up to 70% of the appraised value of the property collateralizing
the loan.

     Loans secured by multifamily residential and commercial real estate
generally involve a greater degree of credit risk than one- to four-family
residential mortgage loans and carry larger loan balances. This increased credit
risk is a result of several factors, including the concentration of principal in
a limited number of loans and borrowers, the effects of general economic
conditions on income producing properties, and the increased difficulty of
evaluating and monitoring these types of loans. Furthermore, the repayment of
loans secured by multifamily residential and commercial real estate is typically
dependent upon the successful operation of the related real estate property. If
the cash flow from the project is reduced, the borrower's ability to repay the
loan may be impaired.

     Consumer Loans. The principal types of consumer loans offered by the
Company are adjustable-rate home equity lines of credit and variable-rate
education loans, and fixed-rate consumer loans such as second mortgage loans,
automobile loans, sales finance loans, unsecured personal loans, credit card
loans, and loans secured by deposit accounts. Consumer loans are offered with
maturities generally of less than ten years. The Company's home equity lines of
credit are secured by the borrower's principal residence with a maximum
loan-to-value ratio, including the principal balances of both the first and
second mortgage loans, of 75% or less. Such loans are offered on an
adjustable-rate basis with terms of up to ten years. At June 30, 1999, the
disbursed portion of home equity lines of credit totalled $39.1 million, or
9.4%, of consumer loans, with $64.3 million remaining undisbursed.

     The underwriting standards employed by the Company for consumer loans
include a determination of the applicant's credit history and an assessment of
ability to meet existing obligations and payments on the proposed loan. The
stability of the applicant's monthly income may be determined by verification of
gross monthly income from primary employment, and additionally from any
verifiable secondary income. Creditworthiness of the applicant is of primary
consideration; however, the underwriting process also includes a comparison of
the value of the collateral in relation to the proposed loan amount, and in the
case of home equity lines of credit, the Company obtains a title guarantee or an
opinion as to the validity of title.

     Consumer loans entail greater credit risk than do residential mortgage
loans, particularly in the case of consumer loans that are unsecured or secured
by assets that depreciate rapidly, such as automobiles, mobile homes, boats,
recreation vehicles, appliances, and furniture. In such cases, repossessed
collateral for a defaulted consumer loan may not provide an adequate source of
repayment for the outstanding loan and the remaining deficiency often does not
warrant further substantial collection efforts against the borrower. In
particular, amounts realizable on the sale of repossessed automobiles may be
significantly reduced based upon the condition of the automobiles and the lack
of demand for used automobiles. The Company adds a general provision to its
consumer loan loss allowance based upon management's evaluation of current
economic conditions and the risk inherent in the loan portfolio.

     Commercial Business Loans. The Company currently offers commercial business
loans to existing customers to finance various activities in the Company's
market area, some of which are secured in part by additional real estate
collateral.

     The largest commercial business loan had a principal balance of $3.2
million, and was secured by convenience stores and marketable securities.

                                       7
<PAGE>

     Commercial business loans are offered with both fixed and adjustable
interest rates and with terms of up to 15 years. Underwriting standards employed
by the Company for commercial business loans include a determination of the
applicant's ability to meet existing obligations and payments on the proposed
loan from normal cash flows generated by the applicant's business. The financial
strength of each applicant also is assessed through a review of financial
statements provided by the applicant.

     Commercial business loans generally bear higher interest rates than
residential loans, but they also may involve a higher risk of default since
their repayment is generally dependent on the successful operation of the
borrower's business. The Company generally obtains personal guarantees from the
borrower or a third party as a condition to originating its commercial business
loans.

     Loan Originations, Solicitation, Processing, and Commitments. Loan
originations are derived from a number of sources such as real estate broker
referrals, existing customers, borrowers, builders, attorneys, and walk-in
customers. All of the Company's loan originators are salaried employees, and the
Company does not pay commissions in connection with loan originations. Upon
receiving a loan application, the Company obtains a credit report and employment
verification to verify specific information relating to the applicant's
employment, income, and credit standing. In the case of a real estate loan, an
in-house appraiser or an appraiser approved by the Company appraises the real
estate intended to secure the proposed loan. A loan processor in the Company's
loan department checks the loan application file for accuracy and completeness,
and verifies the information provided. The Company has a formal loan policy
which assigns lending limits to the Company's various loan officers. Also, the
Company has a Senior Loan Committee which meets as needed to review and verify
that the assigned lending limits are being followed and to monitor the Company's
lending policies and the Company's loan activity. The Senior Loan Committee also
has lending authority as designated in the Company's loan policy which is
approved by the Board of Directors. Loans exceeding the limits established for
the Senior Loan Committee must be approved by the Executive Committee of the
Board of Directors or by the entire Board of Directors. The Company's policy is
to make no loans either individually or in the aggregate to one entity in excess
of $7.5 million. Fire and casualty insurance is required at the time the loan is
made and throughout the term of the loan, and upon request of the Company, flood
insurance may be required. After the loan is approved, a loan commitment letter
is promptly issued to the borrower. At June 30, 1999, the Company had
commitments to originate $34.4 million of loans.

     If the loan is approved, the commitment letter specifies the terms and
conditions of the proposed loan including the amount of the loan, interest rate,
amortization term, a brief description of the required collateral and required
insurance coverage. The borrower must provide proof of fire and casualty
insurance on the property (and, as required, flood insurance) serving as
collateral, which insurance must be maintained during the full term of the loan.
A title guaranty, based on a title search of the property, is required on all
loans secured by real property.

Company's originations of loans for the periods indicated.

     Loan Origination Fees and Other Income. In addition to interest earned on
loans, the Company generally receives loan origination fees. To the extent that
loans are originated or acquired for the Company's portfolio, Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 91 requires that the Company defer loan
origination fees and costs

                                       8
<PAGE>

and amortize such amounts as an adjustment of yield over the life of the loan by
use of the level yield method. Fees deferred under SFAS 91 are recognized into
income immediately upon prepayment or the sale of the related loan. At June 30,
1999 the Company had $923,000 of deferred loan origination fees. Loan
origination fees are volatile sources of income. Such fees vary with the volume
and type of loans and commitments made and purchased, principal repayments, and
competitive conditions in the mortgage markets, which in turn respond to the
demand and availability of money.

     In addition to loan origination fees, the Company also receives other fees,
service charges, and other income that consist primarily of deposit transaction
account service charges, late charges, credit card fees, and income from REO
operations. The Company recognized fees and service charges of $4.5 million,
$3.3 million and $2.4 million, for the fiscal years ended June 30, 1999, 1998
and 1997, respectively.

     Loans-to-One Borrower. Savings banks are subject to the same loans-to-one
borrower limits as those applicable to national banks, which under current
regulations restrict loans to one borrower to an amount equal to 15% of
unimpaired capital and unimpaired surplus on an unsecured basis, and an
additional amount equal to 10% of unimpaired capital and unimpaired surplus if
the loan is secured by readily marketable collateral (generally, financial
instruments and bullion, but not real estate). At June 30, 1999, the largest
aggregate amount loaned by the Company to one borrower totaled $7.1 million and
was secured by land and real estate. The Company's second largest lending
relationship totaled $5.4 million and was secured by a personal care facility in
McKean County, Pennsylvania. The Company's third largest lending relationship
was for $4.4 million and was secured by a personal care facility in Erie County,
Pennsylvania. The Company's fourth largest lending relationship totaled $3.6
million and was secured by commercial and residential real estate. The Company's
fifth largest lending relationship totaled $3.6 million and was secured by a
limited care apartment facility in Warren County, Pennsylvania.

Delinquencies and Classified Assets

     Collection Procedures. The Company's collection procedures provide that
when a loan is five days past due, a computer-generated late notice is sent to
the borrower requesting payment. If delinquency continues, at 15 days a
delinquent notice, plus a notice of a late charge, is sent and personal contact
efforts are attempted, either in person or by telephone, to strengthen the
collection process and obtain reasons for the delinquency. Also, plans to
arrange a repayment plan are made. If a loan becomes 60 days past due, a
collection letter is sent, personal contact is attempted, and the loan becomes
subject to possible legal action if suitable arrangements to repay have not been
made. In addition, the borrower is given information which provides access to
consumer counseling services, to the extent required by regulations of the
Department of Housing and Urban Development. When a loan continues in a
delinquent status for 90 days or more, and a repayment schedule has not been
made or kept by the borrower, generally a notice of intent to foreclose is sent
to the borrower, giving 30 days to cure the delinquency. If not cured,
foreclosure proceedings are initiated.

     Nonperforming Assets. Loans are reviewed on a regular basis and are placed
on a nonaccrual status when, in the opinion of management, the collection of
additional interest is doubtful. Loans are automatically placed on nonaccrual
status when either principal or interest is 90 days or more past due. Interest
accrued and unpaid at the time a loan is placed on a nonaccrual status is
charged against interest income.

     Real estate acquired by the Company as a result of foreclosure or by deed
in lieu of foreclosure is classified as Real Estate Owned ("REO") until such
time as it is sold. When real estate is acquired through foreclosure or by deed
in lieu of foreclosure, it is recorded at its fair value, less estimated costs
of disposal. If the value of the property is less than the loan, less any
related specific loan loss provisions, the difference is charged against the
allowance for loan losses. Any subsequent write-down of REO is charged against
earnings.

                                       9
<PAGE>

     Loans Past Due and Nonperforming Assets. The following table sets forth
information regarding the Company's loans 30 days or more past due, nonaccrual
loans 90 days or more past due, and real estate acquired or deemed acquired by
foreclosure at the dates indicated. In the current fiscal year, the Company
changed its policy regarding delinquency status. In past years, a borrower was
not considered delinquent if they had paid any portion of a payment. Under
current Company policy, a loan is considered delinquent if less than 90% of a
contractually-due payment has been paid. This change became effective on
November 13, 1998 when the Company converted to a new core application software
system and, as a result of this change, the Company recorded a significant
increase in the amount of loans which are 90 days or more past due. Management
has noted, however, that the Company's loan collectors are aware of this change
in payment status and have taken appropriate action over the past two fiscal
quarters to reduce the number of delinquent loans. When a loan is delinquent 90
days or more, the Company fully reserves all accrued interest thereon and ceases
to accrue interest thereafter. For all the dates indicated, the Company did not
have any material restructured loans within the meaning of SFAS 15.

(1) The Company classifies as nonperforming all loans 90 days or more
  delinquent.


     During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1999, gross interest income of
approximately $551,000 would have been recorded on loans accounted for on a
nonaccrual basis if the loans had been current throughout the period. No
interest income on nonaccrual loans was included in income during such period.

     Classification of Assets. The Company's policies, consistent with
regulatory guidelines, provide for the classification of loans and other assets
such as debt and equity securities, considered to be of lesser quality as
"substandard," "doubtful," or "loss" assets. An asset is considered
"substandard" if it is inadequately protected by the current net worth and
paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any.
"Substandard" assets include those characterized by the "distinct possibility"
that the savings institution will sustain "some loss" if the deficiencies are
not corrected. Assets classified as "doubtful" have all of the weaknesses
inherent in those classified "substandard" with the added characteristic that
the weaknesses present make "collection or liquidation in full," on the basis of
currently existing facts, conditions, and values, "highly questionable and
improbable." Assets classified as "loss" are those considered "uncollectible" so
that their continuance as assets without the establishment of a specific loss
reserve is not warranted. Assets that do not expose the savings institution to
risk sufficient to warrant classification in one of the aforementioned
categories, but which possess some weaknesses, are required to be designated
"special mention" by management. At June 30, 1999, the Company had four loans,
with an aggregate principal balance of $5.3 million, designated as special
mention.

     When a savings bank classifies problem assets as either substandard or
doubtful, it is required to establish general valuation allowances or "loss
reserves" in an amount deemed prudent by management. General valuation
allowances represent loss allowances that have been established to recognize the
inherent risk associated with lending activities, but which, unlike specific
allowances, have not been allocated to particular problem assets. When a savings
bank classifies problem assets as "loss," it is required either to establish a
specific allowance for losses equal to 100% of the amount of the assets so
classified, or to charge off such amount. A savings bank's determination as to
the classification of its assets and the amount of its valuation allowance is
subject to review by its regulatory agencies, which can order the establishment
of additional general or specific loss allowances. The Company regularly reviews
its asset portfolio to determine whether any assets require classification in
accordance with applicable regulations. The Company's largest classified assets
are also the Company's largest nonperforming assets and are discussed above.

     The following table sets forth the aggregate amount of the Company's
classified assets at the dates indicated.

     Allowance for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses is established
through a provision for loan losses based on management's evaluation of the risk
inherent in its loan portfolio and current economic conditions. Such evaluation,
which includes a review of all loans on which full collectibility may not be
reasonably assured, considers among other matters, the estimated net realizable
value or the fair value of the underlying collateral, economic conditions,
historical loan loss experience and other factors that warrant recognition in
providing for an appropriate loan loss allowance. In addition, various
regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process,
periodically review the Company's allowance for loan losses and valuation of
foreclosed real estate. Such agencies may require the Company to recognize
additions to the allowance based on their judgment about information available
to them at the time of their examination. The Company will continue to monitor
and modify the level of its allowance for loan losses in order to maintain it at
a level which management considers appropriate to provide for probable loan
losses.

        Investment Activities

             The Company's investment portfolio comprises mortgage-backed
        securities, investment securities, and cash and cash equivalents. In
        recent years, the Company generally has increased both the percentage of
        its assets held in its investment securities portfolio, and the
        percentage of assets held in the mortgage-backed securities portfolio.
        This increase in investment securities and mortgage-backed securities
        resulted from the Company leveraging its capital by

                                       12
<PAGE>

borrowing funds and investing the proceeds in marketable securities in order to
improve net interest income. In addition, any excess funds resulting from the
acquisition of branch offices, and the related deposits, from other financial
institutions is invested by the Company. Also, the Company maintains a certain
percentage of its assets in marketable securities and cash equivalents to assist
in asset/liability management.

     The Company is required under federal regulations to maintain a minimum

Sources of Funds

     General. Deposits are the major source of the Company's funds for lending
and other investment purposes. In addition to deposits, the Company derives
funds from the amortization and prepayment of loans and mortgage-backed
securities, the maturity of investment securities, operations and, if needed,
borrowings from the FHLB. Scheduled loan principal repayments are a relatively
stable source of funds, while deposit inflows and outflows and loan prepayments
are influenced significantly by general interest rates and market conditions.
Borrowings may be used on a short-term basis to compensate for reductions in the
availability of funds from other sources or on a longer term basis for general
business purposes.

     Deposits. Consumer and commercial deposits are attracted principally from
within the Company's market area through the offering of a broad selection of
deposit instruments including checking accounts, passbook savings accounts,
money market deposit accounts, term certificate accounts and individual
retirement accounts. While the Company accepts deposits of $100,000 or more, it
does not offer substantial premium rates for such deposits. Deposit account
terms vary according to the minimum balance required, the period of time during
which the funds must remain on deposit, and the interest rate, among other
factors. The Company regularly evaluates its internal cost of funds, surveys
rates offered by competing institutions, reviews the Company's cash flow
requirements for lending and liquidity, and executes rate changes when deemed
appropriate. The Company does not obtain funds through brokers, nor does it
solicit funds outside its market area.

     The following table sets forth the savings activities of the Company for
the periods indicated.

Borrowings

     Savings deposits are the primary source of funds for the Company's lending
and investment activities and for its general business purposes. The Company
also relies upon borrowings from the FHLB to supplement its supply of lendable
funds and to meet deposit withdrawal requirements. Borrowings from the FHLB
typically are collateralized by the Bank's stock in the FHLB and a portion of
the Bank's first mortgage loans.

     The FHLB functions as a central reserve bank providing credit for the Bank
and other member financial institutions. As a member, the Bank is required to
own capital stock in the FHLB and is authorized to apply for borrowings on the
security of such stock and certain of its first mortgage loans and other assets
(principally, securities that are obligations of, or guaranteed by, the United
States) provided certain standards related to creditworthiness have been met.
Borrowings are made pursuant to several different programs. Each credit program
has its own interest rate and range of maturities. Depending on the program,
limitations on the amount of borrowings are based either on a fixed percentage
of a member institution's net worth or on the FHLB's assessment of the
institution's creditworthiness. All FHLB borrowings have fixed interest rates
and original maturities of between one day and twenty years.

Competition

     The Company's market area in Pennsylvania, southwestern New York and
eastern Ohio has a large concentration of financial institutions, some of which
are significantly larger and have greater financial resources than the Company,
and all of which are competitors of the Company to varying degrees. As a result,
the Company encounters strong competition both in attracting deposits and in
originating real estate and other loans. Its most direct competition for
deposits has come historically from commercial banks, brokerage houses, other
savings associations, and credit unions in its market area, and the Company
expects continued strong competition from such financial institutions in the
foreseeable future. The Company's market area includes offices of several
commercial banks that

                                       18
<PAGE>

are substantially larger than the Company in terms of state-wide deposits. The
Company competes for savings by offering depositors a high level of personal
service and expertise together with a wide range of financial services.

     The competition for real estate and other loans comes principally from
commercial banks, mortgage banking companies, and other savings institutions.
This competition for loans has increased substantially in recent years as a
result of the large number of institutions competing in the Company's market
area as well as the increased efforts by commercial banks to expand mortgage
loan originations.

     The Company competes for loans primarily through the interest rates and
loan fees it charges and the efficiency and quality of services it provides
borrowers, real estate brokers, and builders. Factors that affect competition
include general and local economic conditions, current interest rate levels, and
volatility of the mortgage markets.

Subsidiary Activities

     Northwest Bancorp Inc., through Northwest Savings Bank, has four wholly
owned subsidiaries, Great Northwest Corporation, Northwest Financial Services,
Inc., Northwest Consumer Discount Company, Inc., and Northwest Capital Group,
Inc. Jamestown has no subsidiaries. Great Northwest's sole activity is holding
equity investments in government-assisted low-income housing projects in various
locations in the Company's market area. At June 30, 1999, the Bank had an equity
investment in Great Northwest of $1.9 million. For the fiscal year ended June
30, 1999, Great Northwest had net income of $458,000 generated primarily from
federal low-income housing tax credits.

     Northwest Financial Services' principal activity is the investment in land
acquired by foreclosure and the ownership of the common stock of several
financial institutions. In addition, Northwest Financial Services also holds an
equity investment in one government assisted low-income housing project and owns
100% of the stock in Rid-Fed, Inc. At June 30, 1999, the Bank had an equity
investment in Northwest Financial Services of $5.4 million, and for the fiscal
year ended June 30, 1999, Northwest Financial Services had net income of
$250,000.

     Northwest Consumer Discount Company operates 35 consumer finance offices
throughout Pennsylvania and operates one consumer finance office in New York
State as a separate subsidiary doing business therein as Northwest Finance
Company. At June 30, 1999, the Bank had an equity investment in Northwest
Consumer Discount Company of $10.9 million and the net income of Northwest
Consumer Discount Company for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1999 was $1.5
million. Consumer loans entail greater credit risk than do residential mortgage
loans, particularly in the case of consumer loans that are unsecured or secured
by assets that depreciate rapidly, such as automobiles, mobile homes, boats, and
recreation vehicles. In such cases, repossessed collateral for a defaulted
consumer loan may not provide an adequate source of repayment for the
outstanding loan and the remaining deficiency often does not warrant further
substantial collection efforts against the borrower. In particular, amounts
realizable on the sale of repossessed automobiles may be significantly reduced
based upon the condition of the automobiles and the lack of demand for used
automobiles. The Company adds a general provision to its consumer loan loss
allowance based upon management's evaluation of current economic conditions and
the risk inherent in the loan portfolio.

     Northwest Capital Group's principal activity is the development and sale of
a timeshare project in Honolulu, Hawaii which was acquired by deed in lieu of
foreclosure in 1997. At June 30, 1999 the Bank had an equity investment of
$25,000 in Northwest Capital Group and for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1999
Northwest Capital Group reported no net income.

     Rid-Fed, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Northwest Financial Services,
has as its sole activity a commercial real estate loan to Northwest Capital
Group which was made to finance the sale of real estate from Rid-Fed to
Northwest Capital. At June 30, 1999 Northwest Financial Services had an equity
investment of $1.0 million in Rid-Fed, Inc. and for the fiscal year ended June
30, 1999 Rid-Fed, Inc. had no net income.

     Northwest Finance Company, Inc. is a wholly owned subsidiary of Northwest
Consumer Discount Company. Northwest Finance Company operates a consumer finance
office in Jamestown, New York. As of June 30, 1999,

                                       19
<PAGE>

Northwest Consumer Discount Company's equity investment in Northwest Finance
Company was $(87,000). For the year ended June 30, 1999, Northwest Finance
Company had a net income of $11,000.

     Under the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of
1989 ("FIRREA"), SAIF-insured institutions are required to provide 30 days
advance notice to the FDIC before establishing or acquiring a subsidiary or
conducting a new activity in a subsidiary. The insured institution must also
provide the FDIC such information as may be required by applicable regulations
and must conduct the activity in accordance with the rules and orders of the
FDIC. In addition to other enforcement and supervision powers, the FDIC may
determine after notice and opportunity for a hearing that the continuation of a
savings association's ownership of or relation to a subsidiary (i) constitutes a
serious risk to the safety, soundness or stability of the savings association,
or (ii) is inconsistent with the purposes of FIRREA. Upon the making of such a
determination, the FDIC may order the savings association to divest the
subsidiary or take other actions.

Personnel

     As of June 30, 1999, the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries had 938
full-time and 222 part-time employees. None of the Company's employees is
represented by a collective bargaining group. The Company believes its
relationship with its employees to be good.

                                   REGULATION

General

     The Bank is a Pennsylvania-chartered savings bank and its deposit accounts
are insured up to applicable limits by the FDIC under the SAIF. The Bank is
subject to extensive regulation by the Department of Banking of the Commonwealth
of Pennsylvania (the "Department"), as its chartering agency, and by the FDIC,
as the deposit insurer. The Bank must file reports with the Department and the
FDIC concerning its activities and financial condition in addition to obtaining
regulatory approvals prior to entering into certain transactions including, but
not limited to, mergers with or acquisitions of other savings institutions.
There are periodic examinations by the Department and the FDIC to test the
Bank's compliance with various regulatory requirements. This regulation and
supervision establishes a comprehensive framework of activities in which an
institution can engage and is intended primarily for the protection of the FDIC
insurance fund and depositors. The regulatory structure also gives the
regulatory authorities extensive discretion in connection with their supervisory
and enforcement activities and with their examination policies, including
policies with respect to the classification of assets and the establishment of
adequate loan loss reserves for regulatory purposes. Any change in such
regulation, whether by the Department or the FDIC could have a material adverse
impact on the Company, the Mutual Holding Company, the Bank and their
operations. The Company and the Mutual Holding Company, as a mutual savings bank
holding company, are required to file certain reports with, and otherwise comply
with the rules and regulations of the FRB. Certain of the regulatory
requirements applicable to the Bank, the Company and the Mutual Holding Company
are referred to below or elsewhere herein.

Pennsylvania Savings Bank Law

     The Pennsylvania Banking Code of 1965, as amended (the "Banking Code")
contains detailed provisions governing the organization, location of offices,
rights and responsibilities of directors, officers, employees, and depositors,
as well as corporate powers, savings and investment operations and other aspects
of the Bank and its affairs. The Banking Code delegates extensive rulemaking
power and administrative discretion to the Department so that the supervision
and regulation of state-chartered savings banks may be flexible and readily
responsive to changes in economic conditions and in savings and lending
practices.

     One of the purposes of the Banking Code is to provide savings banks with
the opportunity to be competitive with each other and with other financial
institutions existing under other Pennsylvania laws as well as other state,
federal and foreign laws. A Pennsylvania savings bank may locate or change the
location of its principal place of business and establish an office anywhere in
Pennsylvania, with the prior approval of the Department.

                                       20
<PAGE>

     The Department generally examines each savings bank not less frequently
than once every two years. Although the Department may accept the examinations
and reports of the FDIC in lieu of the Department's examination, the current
practice is for the Department to conduct individual examinations. The
Department may order any savings bank to discontinue any violation of law or
unsafe or unsound business practice and may direct any trustee, officer,
attorney, or employee of a savings bank engaged in an objectionable activity,
after the Department has ordered the activity to be terminated, to show cause at
a hearing before the Department why such person should not be removed.

Interstate Banking

     Prior to 1994 a bank holding company located in one state was prohibited
from acquiring a bank or all of its assets located in another state unless the
acquisition was specifically authorized by a reciprocal interstate banking
statute, such as the statute adopted in Pennsylvania in 1990, specifically
permitting interstate acquisitions. Similarly, interstate branching was
prohibited for national banks and state-chartered member banks, although some
states, not including Pennsylvania, had passed laws permitting limited
interstate branching by non-Federal Reserve member state banks. The Interstate
Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994 (the "Riegle-Neal Act") permits an
adequately capitalized, adequately managed bank holding company to acquire a
bank in another state, whether or not the state permits the acquisition, subject
to certain deposit concentration caps and the FRB's approval. A state may not
impose discriminatory requirements on acquisitions by out-of-state holding
companies. In addition, under the Riegle-Neal Act, a bank may expand interstate
by merging with a bank in another state and also may consolidate the acquired
bank into new branch offices of the acquiring bank, unless the other state
affirmatively opts out of the legislation before that date. The Riegle-Neal Act
also permits de novo interstate branching, but only if a state affirmatively
opted in by appropriate legislature. Once a state opted into interstate
branching, it could not opt out at a later date. The Riegle-Neal Act also allows
foreign banks to branch by merger or de novo branch to the same extent as banks
from the foreign bank's home state. In 1995, the Pennsylvania Legislature
amended the Banking Code to opt in to all of the provisions of the Riegle-Neal
Act, including interstate bank mergers and de novo interstate branching.

Insurance of Accounts and Regulation by the FDIC

     The Bank is a member of the SAIF, which is administered by the FDIC.
Deposits are insured up to applicable limits by the FDIC and such insurance is
backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. As insurer, the FDIC
imposes deposit insurance premiums and is authorized to conduct examinations of
and to require reporting by FDIC-insured institutions. It also may prohibit any
FDIC-insured institution from engaging in any activity the FDIC determines by
regulation or order to pose a serious risk to the FDIC. The FDIC also has the
authority to initiate enforcement actions against savings banks, after giving
the OTS an opportunity to take such action, and may terminate the deposit
insurance if it determines that the institution has engaged or is engaging in
unsafe or unsound practices, or is in an unsafe or unsound condition.

     The FDIC's deposit insurance premiums are assessed through a risk-based
system under which all insured depository institutions are placed into one of
nine categories and assessed insurance premiums, ranging from 0% to .27% of
deposits, based upon their level of capital and supervisory evaluation. Under
the system, institutions classified as well capitalized (i.e., a core capital
ratio of at least 5%, a ratio of core capital to risk-weighted assets of at
least 6% and a risk-based capital ratio of at least 10%) and considered healthy
would pay the lowest premium while institutions that are less than adequately
capitalized (i.e., a core capital or core capital to risk-based capital ratios
of less than 4% or a risk-based capital ratio of less than 8%) and considered of
substantial supervisory concern would pay the highest premium. Risk
classification of all insured institutions will be made by the FDIC for each
semi-annual assessment period.

     The FDIC is authorized to increase assessment rates, on a semiannual basis,
if it determines that the reserve ratio of the SAIF will be less than the
designated reserve ratio of 1.25% of SAIF insured deposits. In setting these
increased assessments, the FDIC must seek to restore the reserve ratio to that
designated reserve level, or such higher reserve ratio as established by the
FDIC. The FDIC may also impose special assessments on SAIF members to repay
amounts borrowed from the United States Treasury or for any other reason deemed
necessary by the FDIC.

                                       21
<PAGE>

     In September 1996, Congress enacted legislation to recapitalize the SAIF by
a one-time assessment on all SAIF-insured deposits held as of March 31, 1995.
The assessment was 65.7 basis points per $100 in deposits, payable on November
27, 1996 and amounted to $8.6 million for the Bank. In addition, interest
payments on FICO bonds issued in the late 1980's by the Financing Corporation to
recapitalize the now defunct Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation are
paid jointly by Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF") insured institutions and SAIF-
insured institutions. The FICO assessment is 1.29 basis points per $100 for BIF
deposits and 6.44 basis points per $100 for SAIF deposits. Beginning January 1,
2000, the FICO interest payments will be paid pro rata by banks and thrifts
based on deposits (approximately 2.4 basis points per $100 in deposits).

     As a result of the enactment of the Small Business Job Protection Act of
1996, all savings banks and savings associations are able to convert to a
commercial bank charter, diversify their lending, or merge into a commercial
bank without having to recapture any of their pre-1988 tax bad debt reserve
accumulations. Any post-1987 reserves are subject to recapture, regardless of
whether or not a particular thrift intends to convert its charter, be acquired,
or diversify its activities. The recapture tax on post-1987 reserves is assessed
in equal installments over the six year period beginning in fiscal 1997.
However, because the Company met the minimum level of mortgage lending test
(i.e., the Company's level of mortgage lending activity (re-financings and home
equity loans excluded) exceeded its average mortgage lending activity for the
six years preceding fiscal 1997 and 1998, adjusted for inflation), the Company
was able to suspend its tax bad debt recapture for the 1997 and 1998 tax years.
During fiscal 1999, the Company recaptured into taxable income approximately
$1.3 million of the post-1987 bad debt reserves. At June 30, 1999, the Company
had a balance of approximately $6.7 million of bad debt reserves in retained
income that is subject to recapture equally over the next five years under this
legislation.

Capital Requirements

     Any savings association that fails any of the capital requirements is
subject to possible enforcement actions by the FDIC. Such actions could include
a capital directive, a cease and desist order, civil money penalties, the
establishment of restrictions on an association's operations, termination of
federal deposit insurance, and the appointment of a conservator or receiver.
Certain actions are required by law. The FDIC's capital regulation provides that
such actions, through enforcement proceedings or otherwise, could require one or
more of a variety of corrective actions.

     The Bank is also subject to more stringent Department capital guidelines.
Although not adopted in regulation form, the Department utilizes capital
standards requiring a minimum of 6% leverage capital and 10% risk-based capital.
The components of leverage and risk-based capital are substantially the same as
those defined by the FDIC. At June 30, 1999, the Bank exceeded the Department's
capital guidelines.

Loans-to-One Borrower Limitation

     Under federal regulations, with certain limited exceptions, a Pennsylvania
chartered savings bank may lend to a single or related group of borrowers on an
"unsecured" basis an amount equal to 15% of its unimpaired capital and surplus.
An additional amount may be lent, equal to 10% of unimpaired capital and
surplus, if such loan is secured by readily-marketable collateral, which is
defined to include certain securities and bullion, but generally does not
include real estate. Under the provisions of the Financial Institutions Reform,
Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989 ("FIRREA"), loans which exceeded the
permitted limit on the effective date of the new rules were deemed not to be in
violation of the new rules, but the aggregate principal balance of such loans
cannot be increased beyond the amount legally committed to prior to FIRREA.

Prompt Corrective Action

     Under Section 38 of the FDIA, as added by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 ("FDICIA"), each federal banking agency is
required to implement a system of prompt corrective action for institutions
which it regulates. The federal banking agencies have promulgated substantially
similar regulations to implement the system of prompt corrective action
established by Section 38 of the FDIA, which were effective as of December 19,
1992. Under the regulations, a bank shall be deemed to be (i) "well capitalized"
if it has total risk-based

                                       22
<PAGE>

capital of 10.0% or more, has a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 6.0% or more,
has a Tier I leverage capital ratio of 5.0% or more and is not subject to any
written capital order or directive; (ii) "adequately capitalized" if it has a
total risk-based capital ratio of 8.0% or more, a Tier I risk-based capital
ratio of 4.0% or more and a Tier I leverage capital ratio of 4.0% or more (3.0%
under certain circumstances) and does not meet the definition of "well
capitalized"; (iii) "undercapitalized" if it has a total risk-based capital
ratio that is less than 8.0%, a Tier I risk-based capital ratio that is less
than 4.0% or a Tier I leverage capital ratio that is less than 4.0% (3.0% under
certain circumstances); (iv) "significantly undercapitalized" if it has a total
risk-based capital ratio that is less than 6.0%, a Tier I risk-based capital
ratio that is less than 3.0% or a Tier I leverage capital ratio that is less
than 3.0%; and (v) "critically undercapitalized" if it has a ratio of tangible
equity to total assets that is equal to or less than 2.0%. Section 38 of the
FDIA and the regulations also specify circumstances under which a federal
banking agency may reclassify a well capitalized institution as adequately
capitalized and may require an adequately capitalized institution to comply with
supervisory actions as if it were in the next lower category (except that the
FDIC may not reclassify a significantly undercapitalized institution as
critically undercapitalized). As of June 30, 1999, the Bank was a "well-
capitalized institution" for this purpose.

Activities and Investments of Insured State-Chartered Banks

     Section 24 of the FDIA, as amended by the FDICIA, generally limits the
activities and equity investments of FDIC-insured, state-chartered banks to
those that are permissible for national banks. Under regulations dealing with
equity investments, an insured state bank generally may not, directly or
indirectly, acquire or retain any equity investment of a type, or in an amount,
that is not permissible for a national bank. An insured state bank is not
prohibited from, among other things, (i) acquiring or retaining a majority
interest in a subsidiary; (ii) investing as a limited partner in a partnership
the sole purpose of which is direct or indirect investment in the acquisition,
rehabilitation, or new construction of a qualified housing project, provided
that such limited partnership investments may not exceed 2% of the bank's total
assets; (iii) acquiring up to 10% of the voting stock of a company that solely
provides or reinsures directors', trustees', and officers' liability insurance
coverage or bankers' blanket bond group insurance coverage for insured
depository institutions; and (iv) acquiring or retaining the voting shares of a
depository institution if certain requirements are met.

Holding Company Regulation

     Under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 (the "BHCA"), a bank holding
company must obtain FRB approval before: (i) acquiring, directly or indirectly,
ownership or control of any voting shares of another bank or bank holding
company if, after such acquisition, it would own or control more than 5% of such
shares (unless it already owns or controls the majority of such shares); (ii)
acquiring all or substantially all of the assets of another bank or bank holding
company; or (iii) merging or consolidating with another bank holding company.

     The BHCA also prohibits a bank holding company, with certain exceptions,
from acquiring direct or indirect ownership or control of more than 5% of the
voting shares of any company which is not a bank or bank holding company, or
from engaging directly or indirectly in activities other than those of banking,
managing or controlling banks, or providing services for its subsidiaries. The
principal exceptions to these prohibitions involve certain non-bank activities
which, by statute or FRB regulation or order, have been identified as activities
closely related to the business of banking or managing or controlling banks. The
list of activities permitted by the FRB includes, among other things, operating
a savings association, mortgage company, finance company, credit card company or
factoring company; performing certain data processing operations; providing
certain investment and financial advice; underwriting and acting as an insurance
agent for certain types of credit-related insurance; leasing property on a
full-payout, non-operating basis; selling money orders, traveler's checks and
United States Savings Bonds; real estate and personal property appraising;
providing tax planning and preparation services; and, subject to certain
limitations, providing securities brokerage services for customers.

     The Company and the Mutual Holding Company are also subject to capital
adequacy guidelines for bank holding companies (on a consolidated basis) which
are substantially similar to those of the FDIC for the Bank.

                                       23
<PAGE>

     The FRB has issued a policy statement on the payment of cash dividends by
bank holding companies, which expresses the FRB's view that a bank holding
company should pay cash dividends only to the extent that the holding company's
net income for the past year is sufficient to cover both the cash dividends and
a rate of earnings retention that is consistent with the holding company's
capital needs, asset quality and overall financial condition. The FRB also
indicated that it would be inappropriate for a company experiencing serious
financial problems to borrow funds to pay dividends. Furthermore, under the
prompt corrective action regulations adopted by the FRB, the FRB may prohibit a
bank holding company from paying any dividends if the holding company's bank
subsidiary is classified as "undercapitalized."

Conditions to Certain Regulatory Approvals

     The Bank's Reorganization. The FRB approved the Bank's reorganization into
the Mutual Holding Company structure and the mutual holding company's
acquisition of the majority of the Bank's common stock subject to the following
conditions, which apply to the Company as a result of the Two-Tier
Reorganization:

     1.   The Mutual Holding Company agrees that it will make prior application
          to the FRB for approval to waive any dividends declared on the capital
          stock of the Company and that the FRB shall have the authority to
          approve or deny any dividend waiver request in its discretion. Such
          application will be made on an annual basis with respect to any year
          in which the Mutual Holding Company intends to waive such dividends;

     2.   If a waiver is granted, dividends waived by the Mutual Holding Company
          will not be available for payment to minority shareholders (i.e.,
          shareholders other than the Mutual Holding Company), and will be
          excluded from the capital accounts of the Company for purposes of
          calculating any dividend payments to minority shareholders;

     3.   If a waiver is granted, the Company will, so long as the Mutual
          Holding Company remains a Mutual Holding Company, establish a
          restricted capital account in the cumulative amount of any dividends
          waived by the Mutual Holding Company for the benefit of the mutual
          members of the Mutual Holding Company.  The restricted capital account
          would be senior to the claims of  minority stockholders of the Company
          and would not decrease notwithstanding changes in depositors of the
          Company.  This restricted capital account would be added to any
          liquidation account in the Company established in connection with a
          conversion of the Mutual Holding Company to stock form and would not
          be available for distribution to minority shareholders.  The
          liquidation account and restricted capital account would be maintained
          in accordance with the policy, rules and regulations of the Office of
          Thrift Supervision, notwithstanding any sale, merger, or conversion of
          the Mutual Holding Company;

     4.   In any conversion of the Mutual Holding Company from mutual to stock
          form, the Mutual Holding Company will comply with the rules and
          regulations of the Office of Thrift Supervision, as if the Company and
          the Mutual Holding Company were a savings association and a savings
          and loan Mutual Holding Company, respectively, except that such rules
          shall be administered by the FRB; and

     5.   In the event that the FRB adopts regulations regarding dividend
          waivers by mutual holding companies, the Mutual Holding Company will
          comply with the applicable requirements of such regulations.

     The Two-Tier Reorganization. The activities of the Company and the Mutual
Holding Company are also restricted pursuant the conditions imposed by the FRB
and FDIC as part of their approval of the Two-Tier Reorganization. Such
conditions include restrictions on the sale of Common Stock by the Mutual
Holding Company, the conversion of the Mutual Holding Company to the stock form
of ownership, and the pledging of Common Stock in support of any borrowing by
the Company or the Bank.

                                       24

Miscellaneous

     In addition to requiring a new system of risk-based insurance assessments
and a system of prompt corrective action with respect to undercapitalized banks,
as discussed above, the FDIC requires federal banking regulators to adopt
regulations in a number of areas to ensure bank safety and soundness, including
internal controls, credit underwriting, asset growth, management compensation,
ratios of classified assets to capital, and earnings. The FDICIA also contains
provisions which are intended to enhance independent auditing requirements,
restrict the activities of state-chartered insured banks, amend various consumer
banking laws, limit the ability of "undercapitalized banks" to borrow from the
Federal Reserve Board's discount window, require regulators to perform annual
on-site bank examinations, and set standards for real estate lending.

Federal Securities Laws

     Shares of the Company's common stock are registered with the SEC under
Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange
Act"). The Company is also subject to the proxy rules, tender offer rules,
insider trading restrictions, annual and periodic reporting, and other
requirements of the Exchange Act.

Regulatory Enforcement Authority

     FIRREA included substantial enhancement to the enforcement powers available
to federal banking regulators. This enforcement authority includes, among other
things, the ability to assess civil money penalties, to issue cease-and-desist
or removal orders, and to initiate injunctive actions against banking
organizations and institution-affiliated parties, as defined. In general, these
enforcement actions may be initiated for violations of laws and regulations and
unsafe or unsound practices. Other actions or inactions may provide the basis
for enforcement action, including misleading or untimely reports filed with
regulatory authorities. FIRREA significantly increased the amount of, and
grounds for, civil money penalties and requires, except under certain
circumstances, public disclosure of final enforcement action by the federal
banking agencies.

Dividends

     The Company's ability to pay dividends depends, to large extent, upon the
Bank's ability to pay dividends to the Company. The Banking Code of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania states, in part, that dividends may be declared and
paid by the Bank only out of accumulated net earnings and may not be declared or
paid unless surplus (retained earnings) is at least equal to capital. The Bank
has not declared or paid any dividends which caused the Bank's retained earnings
to be reduced below the amount required. Finally, dividends may not be declared
or paid if the Bank is in default in payment of any assessment due to the FDIC.
At June 30, 1999, the Bank's retained earnings exceeded required capital by
$67.3 million and the Bank was not in default of any assessment due the FDIC.

     The foregoing references to laws and regulations are brief summaries
thereof which do not purport to be complete and which are qualified in their
entirety by reference to such laws and regulations.

                           FEDERAL AND STATE TAXATION

     Federal Taxation. For federal income tax purposes, the Company files a
consolidated federal income tax return with its wholly owned subsidiaries on a
fiscal year basis. The Mutual Holding Company is not permitted to file a
consolidated federal income tax return with the Company, and must pay Federal
income tax on 20% of the dividends received from the Company. Because the Mutual
Holding Company has nominal assets other than the stock of the Company, it does
not have material federal income tax liability other than the tax due on the
dividends received from the Company.

     In April 1992, the FASB issued SFAS 109. The Company currently is
accounting for income taxes in accordance with SFAS 109. The liability method
accounts for deferred income taxes by applying the enacted statutory rates in
effect at the balance sheet date to differences between the book cost and the
tax cost of assets and liabilities.

                                       25
<PAGE>

The resulting deferred tax liabilities and assets are adjusted to reflect
changes in tax laws. SFAS 109 was implemented by the Bank effective July 1,
1993.

     The Bank was audited by the Internal Revenue Service for the tax periods
ended June 30, 1989, 1990, 1991 and 1992, and the IRS recently completed its
routine audit for the tax periods ended June 30, 1993, 1994 and November 4,
1994. See Notes 1 and 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements which are part
of the Annual Report to Stockholders.

     State Taxation. The Company is subject to the Corporate Net Income Tax and
the Capital Stock Tax of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Dividends received
from the Bank qualify for a 100% dividends received deduction and are not
subject to Corporate Net Income Tax. In addition, the Company's investments in
its subsidiaries qualify as exempt intangible assets and greatly reduced the
amount of Capital Stock Tax assessed.

     The Bank is subject to the Mutual Thrift Institutions Tax of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania based on the Bank's financial net income determined
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles with certain
adjustments. The tax rate under the Mutual Thrift Institutions Tax is 11.5%.
Interest on state and federal obligations is excluded from net income. An
allocable portion of interest expense incurred to carry the obligations is
disallowed as a deduction.

     The subsidiaries of the Bank are subject to the Corporate Net Income Tax
and the Capital Stock Tax of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and other
applicable taxes in the states where they conduct business.

ITEM 3.   LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
          -----------------

     The Company is involved in various legal actions arising in the normal
course of its business. In the opinion of management, the resolution of these
legal actions is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company's
results of operations.

     The Bank and the Mutual Holding Company, along with unrelated parties, were
named as defendants in a class action lawsuit filed in the Allegheny County
Court of Common Pleas. The lawsuit was brought on behalf of purchasers of common
stock in the Bank's initial public offering which was completed in November
1994. The Complaint alleges that the defendants breached their contractual
obligations and fiduciary duties by carrying out the offering at a price that
allegedly was not justified by market and financial conditions. The defendants
previously obtained the dismissal of a lawsuit brought by the same counsel in
federal court making similar allegations under federal law. Management intends
to continue to vigorously defend against this action.

ITEM 4.   SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITIES HOLDERS
          -----------------------------------------------------

     During the fourth quarter of the fiscal year covered by this report, the
Company did not submit any matters to the vote of security holders.

     Payment of dividends on the Common Stock is subject to determination and
declaration by the Board of Directors and will depend upon a number of factors,
including capital requirements, regulatory limitations on the

payment of dividends, the Company's results of operations and financial
condition, tax consideration and general economic conditions. No assurance can
be given that dividends will be declared or, if declared or, if declared, what
the amount of dividends will be, or whether such dividends., once declared, will
continue.

     Although mutual holding companies frequently waive dividends declared by
their majority-owned savings institution subsidiaries, the Holding Company has
not waived dividends paid by the Company. The Holding Company has made certain
commitments to the Federal Reserve Board ("FRB") that restrict its ability to
waive dividends and that require it to obtain prior FRB approval of any waiver
of dividends.

Financial Condition

     General. Total assets increased by $517.3 million, or 20.2%, to $3.080
billion at June 30, 1999 from $2.563 billion at June 30, 1998. This increase was
funded primarily by a $441.2 million increase in deposits, a $59.2 million
increase in borrowed funds and net income of $20.0 million. Total assets
increased by $471.2 million, or 22.5%, to $2.563 billion at June 30, 1998 from
$2.091 billion at June 30, 1997. This increase was funded primarily by a $381.7
million increase in deposits, a $66.2 million increase in borrowed funds and net
income of $21.3 million. The additional funds received in both fiscal years 1999
and 1998 were utilized to increase investments in loans receivable,
mortgage-backed securities and other investment securities.

     Interest-earning deposits in other financial institutions. Interest-
earning deposits in other financial institutions increased by $3.5 million, or
8.2%, to $45.9 million at June 30, 1999 from $42.4 million at June 30, 1998. The
balances in these accounts fluctuate daily based on the cash flow resulting from
the Company's other activities. Interest-earning deposits in other financial
institutions decreased by $15.4 million, or 26.6%, to $42.4

                                       32
<PAGE>

million at June 30, 1998 from $57.8 million at June 30, 1997 primarily as a
result of the Company receiving a large governmental deposit on the last day of
the prior fiscal year which temporarily inflated the ending balance at June 30,
1997.

     Investment securities. Investment securities increased by $36.0 million, or
17.6%, to $240.2 million at June 30, 1999 from $204.2 million at June 30, 1998.
This increase was primarily due to the investment of funds received through both
internal deposit growth and branch acquisitions. Investment securities increased
by $82.1 million, or 67.2%, to $204.2 million at June 30, 1998 from $122.1
million at June 30, 1997. In addition to receiving approximately $17.1 million
from the acquisition of 64.3% of Jamestown Savings Bank ("Jamestown") from
Northwest Bancorp, M.H.C. on March 24, 1998, the Company continued to increase
its portfolio of long-term municipal securities and high-yielding debt
obligations in an effort to improve net interest income.

     Mortgage-backed securities. Mortgage-backed securities increased by $42.5
million, or 13.9%, to $348.3 million at June 30, 1999 from $305.8 million at
June 30, 1998. This net increase resulted from the purchase of approximately
$116.5 million of mortgage-backed securities during the fiscal year, utilizing
the funds received from both internal deposit growth and branch acquisitions.
Partially offsetting these purchases were principal payments of approximately
$74.0 million received during the year. Mortgage-backed securities increased by
$14.2 million, or 4.9%, to $305.8 million at June 30, 1998 from $291.6 million
at June 30, 1997. This increase resulted from the purchase of approximately
$62.4 million of mortgage-backed securities during the fiscal year which was
offset by the sale of approximately $28.0 million of mortgage-backed securities
and the receipt of principal payments of approximately $20.2 million.

     Loans receivable. Net loans receivable increased by $377.9 million, or
19.8%, to $2.285 billion at June 30, 1999 from $1.907 billion at June 30, 1998.
This increase resulted primarily from continued strong loan demand in the
Company's existing markets as well as new loan growth as a result of the
Company's expansion into other areas. In addition, the acquisition of Corry
Savings Bank ("Corry") on October 21, 1998 contributed net loans of
approximately $22.0 million. Net loans receivable increased by $370.8 million,
or 24.1%, to $1.907 billion at June 30, 1998 from $1.536 billion at June 30,
1997. This increase resulted primarily from strong loan demand in all of the
Company's market areas and was assisted in part by the receipt of $30.8 million
of net loans receivable from the Jamestown acquisition.

     Deposits. Deposits increased by $441.2 million, or $21.8%, to $2.464
billion at June 30, 1999 from $2.023 billion at June 30, 1998. This increase was
primarily due to the acquisition of 11 retail office facilities with deposits of
$225.5 million. In addition, the acquisition of Corry accounted for
approximately $25.0 million of the increase in deposits. Normal deposit growth
in existing offices as well as the successful integration and growth of new
offices accounted for the remaining increase of $190.7 million. Deposits
increased by $381.7 million, or 23.3%, to $2.023 billion at June 30, 1998 from
$1.641 billion at June 30, 1997. This increase resulted primarily from the
acquisition of ten branch offices with deposits of $166.1 million. In addition,
the acquisition of Jamestown added deposits of $54.3 million. Normal deposit
growth in existing offices as well as the successful integration and growth of
new offices accounted for the remaining increase of $161.3 million.

     Borrowings. Borrowings increased by $59.2 million, or 20.4%, to $348.9
million at June 30, 1999 from $289.7 million at June 30, 1998, as borrowings
were used to fund asset growth in an effort to increase net interest income.
Borrowings increased by $66.2 million, or 29.6%, to $289.7 million at June 30,
1998 from $223.5 million at June 30, 1997. The Company increased its borrowed
funds and invested the proceeds in loans, investment securities and
mortgage-backed securities in an effort to increase net interest income.

     Shareholders' equity. Shareholders' equity increased by $15.8 million, or
7.3%, to $233.7 million at June 30, 1999 from $217.9 million at June 30, 1998.
This increase was primarily due to net income of $20.0 million which was
partially offset by the declaration of common stock dividends in the amount of
$7.6 million. The remaining net increase was comprised of the sale of common
stock relating to the Corry acquisition and the release of earned shares of
common stock by the Company's employee stock benefit plans, partially offset by
a decrease in the unrealized gain on investment securities available for sale.
Shareholder's equity increased by $19.4 million, or

                                       33
<PAGE>

9.8%, to $217.9 million at June 30, 1998 from $198.5 million at June 30, 1997.
This increase was primarily due to net income of $21.3 million which was
partially offset by the declaration of common stock dividends in the amount of
$7.5 million. The remaining increase was primarily due to the Jamestown
acquisition, the release of earned shares of common stock by the Company's
employee stock benefit plans and an increase in the unrealized gain on
investment securities available for sale.

Results of Operations

     General. The earnings of the Company depend primarily on its level of net
interest income, which is the difference between interest earned on the
Company's interest-earning assets, consisting primarily of loans,
mortgage-backed securities and other investment securities, and the interest
paid on interest-bearing liabilities, consisting primarily of deposits and
borrowed funds. Net interest income is a function of the Company's interest rate
spread, which is the difference between the average yield earned on
interest-earning assets and the average rate paid on interest-bearing
liabilities, as well as a function of the average balance of interest-earning
assets as compared to interest-bearing liabilities. The Company's earnings also
are affected by its level of service charges, and gains on sale of assets, as
well as its level of general administrative and other expenses, including
employee compensation and benefits, occupancy and equipment costs, and deposit
insurance premiums.

     Net Income. Net income totaled $20.0 million, $21.3 million, and $13.7
million for fiscal years ended June 30, 1999, 1998, and 1997, respectively. The
$1.3 million, or 6.1%, decrease in net income for the fiscal year ended June 30,
1999 as compared to the fiscal year ended June 30, 1998 resulted primarily from
a $12.8 million increase in noninterest expense and a $1.6 million decrease in
noninterest income. Partially offsetting these decreases was a $10.8 million
increase in net interest income and a $443,000 decrease in the provision for
loan losses. The $7.6 million, or 55.5% increase in net income for the fiscal
year ended June 30, 1998 as compared to the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997
resulted primarily from a one-time special assessment of $8.6 million ($5.1
million, after tax) in the prior year to recapitalize the Savings Association
Insurance Fund (the "SAIF") of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the
"FDIC"). See "--Deposit Insurance Premiums." Also contributing to the increase
in net income was a $7.6 million increase in net interest income and a $2.1
million increase in noninterest income. Offsetting these increases in net income
was a $1.6 million increase in the provision for loan losses and a $4.7 million
increase in noninterest expense, excluding the effect of the prior year SAIF
assessment.

     Interest Income. Interest income increased by $30.5 million, or 17.4%, to
$205.4 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1999 from $174.9 million for
the fiscal year ended June 30, 1998. The increase in interest income was
primarily attributable to a $517.5 million, or 23.9%, increase in the balance of
average interest-earning assets to $2.687 billion from $2.170 billion. Partially
offsetting this increase was a decrease in the yield on average interest-earning
assets to 7.64% from 8.06%. The increase in the balance of average
interest-earning assets was primarily due to the investment of funds received
from the acquisition of offices with deposits of approximately $250.0 million
combined with the strong internal growth of the Company's existing franchise.
The decrease in the overall yield on interest-earning assets resulted primarily
from the substantial growth of the Company during a period of historically low
interest rates. Interest income increased by $21.4 million, or 13.9%, to $174.9
million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1998 from $153.5 million for the
fiscal year ended June 30, 1997. The increase in interest income was primarily
attributable to a $307.2 million, or 16.5%, increase in the balance of average
interest-earning assets to $2.170 billion from $1.863 billion. Partially
offsetting this increase was a decrease in the yield on average interest-earning
assets to 8.06% from 8.24%. The increase in the balance of average
interest-earning assets was primarily the result of growth in the Company's loan
portfolio due to strong loan demand and the Company's attempt to deploy funds
received from deposit growth. The decrease in the yield on average
interest-earning assets is reflective of market interest rates generally being
lower.

     Interest income on loans receivable increased by $30.0 million, or 20.8%,
to $174.4 million for the year ended June 30, 1999 from $144.4 million for the
year ended June 30, 1998. This increase primarily resulted from a $446.9
million, or 26.7%, increase in average loans receivable to $2.121 billion for
the year ended June 30, 1999 compared to $1.674 billion for the year ended June
30, 1998. Partially offsetting this increase was a decrease in the yield on
average loans to 8.22% from 8.63%. The increase in average loans primarily
resulted from strong loan demand through the Company's market areas and the
acquisition of Corry which contributed net loans of

                                       34
<PAGE>

approximately $22.0 million. The decrease in the yield on average loans
receivable resulted primarily from a large percentage of the Company's loan
portfolio being refinanced or restructured in an effort by borrowers to reduce
their interest rates. Also contributing to this decline was the substantial
growth of the portfolio during a period of relatively low interest rates.
Interest income on loans receivable increased by $17.4 million, or 13.7%, to
$144.4 million for the year ended June 30, 1998 from $127.0 million for the year
ended June 30, 1997. This increase primarily resulted from a $223.8 million, or
15.4%, increase in average loans receivable to $1.674 billion for the year ended
June 30, 1998 compared to $1.450 billion for the year ended June 30, 1997.
Partially offsetting this increase was a decrease in the yield on average loans
receivable to 8.63% from 8.76%. The increase in average loans receivable
primarily resulted from strong loan demand throughout the Company's market areas
and the acquisition of Jamestown which contributed net loans of approximately
$30.8 million. The decrease in the yield on average loans receivable for the
fiscal year ended June 30, 1998 compared to the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997
was primarily a result of mortgage loan prepayments, the proceeds from which
were used to fund additional loans at lower rates of interest.

     Interest income on mortgage-backed securities decreased by $1.9 million, or
9.7%, to $17.6 million for the year ended June 30, 1999 from $19.5 million for
the year ended June 30, 1998. This decrease resulted primarily from a decrease
in the average yield to 5.76% for the year ended June 30, 1999 from 6.47% for
the year ended June 30, 1998. Partially offsetting this decrease in average
yield was a $3.9 million, or 1.3%, increase in the average balance of
mortgage-backed securities to $306.1 million for the year ended June 30, 1999
from $302.2 million for the year ended June 30, 1998. The decrease in average
yield was a result of a large percentage of the portfolio having variable
interest rates which repriced at lower market rates. The slight increase in the
average balance of mortgage-backed securities was a result of purchases of
approximately $116.5 million during the fiscal year which were offset by
principal payments of approximately $74.0 million. Interest income on
mortgage-backed securities increased by $406,000, or 2.1%, to $19.5 million for
the year ended June 30, 1998 from $19.1 million for the year ended June 30,
1997. This increase resulted primarily from a $23.4 million, or 8.4%, increase
in the average balance of mortgage-backed securities to $302.2 million for the
year ended June 30, 1998 from $278.8 million for the year ended June 30, 1997.
Partially offsetting this increase in average balance was a decrease in the
average yield to 6.47% from 6.87%. The average balance increased primarily
because of the purchase of mortgage-backed securities during the fiscal year,
utilizing funds received from the aforementioned branch acquisitions. In
addition, the Jamestown acquisition contributed approximately $5.4 million of
mortgage-backed securities. The average yield on mortgage-backed securities
declined as a result of a large percentage of the portfolio having variable
interest rates which repriced at lower market rates.

     Interest income on investment securities increased by $2.0 million, or
19.4%, to $12.3 million for the year ended June 30, 1999 from $10.3 million for
the year ended June 30, 1998. This increase resulted primarily from a $40.0
million, or 24.7%, increase in the average balance of investment securities to
$201.9 million for the year ended June 30, 1999 from $161.9 million for the year
ended June 30, 1998. Partially offsetting this increase in average balance was a
decrease in the average yield to 6.11% from 6.37%. The increase in average
balance was primarily due to the investment of a percentage of the Company's
deposit and borrowing growth. The decrease in average yield resulted primarily
from the purchase of approximately $35.0 million of tax exempt municipal
securities during the fiscal year that have a lower nominal interest rate than
other securities in the Company's investment portfolio. Interest income on
investment securities increased by $3.4 million, or 49.3%, to $10.3 million for
the year ended June 30, 1998 from $6.9 million for the year ended June 30, 1997.
This increase resulted primarily from a $55.0 million, or 51.4%, increase in the
average balance of investment securities to $161.9 million for the year ended
June 30, 1998 from $106.9 million for the year ended June 30, 1997. Partially
offsetting the increase in average balance was a decrease in the average yield
to 6.37% from 6.48%. The increase in average balance was primarily due to the
investment of the proceeds received from the aforementioned branch acquisitions
as well as approximately $17.1 million from the addition of Jamestown's
investment portfolio. The decrease in the average yield was primarily the result
of lower nominal interest received on tax exempt securities, as the Company
purchased approximately $30 million of such securities during the fiscal year.
Partially offsetting the lower yields received from the tax exempt obligations
was the higher yields received from the purchase of approximately $30 million of
fixed-rate trust preferred securities.

     Interest income on interest-earning deposits increased by $348,000, or
51.6%, to $1.0 million for the year ended June 30, 1999 from $675,000 for the
year ended June 30, 1998. This increase resulted primarily from a $26.6

                                       35
<PAGE>

million, or 82.9%, increase in the average balance of interest-earning deposits
to $58.7 million for the year ended June 30, 1999 from $32.1 million for the
year ended June 30, 1998. Partially offsetting this increase in average balance
was a decrease in the average yield on interest-earning deposits to 1.74% from
2.10%. The increase in average balance was primarily due to an increase in
deposits-in-transit relating to the substantial growth in the number of retail
offices. The decrease in average yield reflects the decrease in market interest
rates in general. Interest income on interest-earning deposits increased by
$242,000, or 55.9%, to $675,000 for the year ended June 30, 1998 from $433,000
for the year ended June 30, 1997. This increase resulted primarily from an
increase in the average yield to 2.10% from 1.60%. In addition, the average
balance of interest-earning deposits increased by $5.0 million, or 18.5%, to
$32.1 million for the year ended June 30, 1998 from $27.1 million for the year
ended June 30, 1997. The increase in average yield and average balance is
principally the result of the timing as to when the Company is credited for
these deposits and the period in which they begin to earn interest.

     Interest expense. Interest expense increased by $19.7 million, or 20.7%, to
$114.9 million for the year ended June 30, 1999 from $95.2 million for the year
ended June 30, 1998. This increase resulted primarily from a $534.9 million, or
26.4%, increase in the balance of average interest-bearing liabilities to $2.563
billion for the year ended June 30, 1999 from a $2.028 billion for the year
ended June 30, 1998. Partially offsetting the increase in average balance of
interest-bearing liabilities was a decrease in the average cost of funds to
4.48% from 4.69%. The increase in average interest-bearing liabilities resulted
primarily from the increase in deposits from the aforementioned acquisitions
with deposits of approximately $250.0 million combined with the strong internal
growth of new office openings throughout the Company's market areas. Also
contributing to the increase in interest expense was a $122.6 million, or 63.1%,
increase in average borrowed funds to $316.9 million for the year ended June 30,
1999 from $194.3 million for the year ended June 30, 1998. Levels of borrowings
have fluctuated significantly over the past two years as the Company has used
these borrowings to fund, in advance, the purchase of investment securities and
the origination of loans in anticipation of the receipt of deposits from various
branch acquisitions. The decrease in the average cost of funds resulted
primarily from a decrease in market rates in general which effectively lowered
the interest rates paid for deposit accounts. Interest expense increased by
$13.8 million, or 17.0%, to $95.2 million for the year ended June 30, 1998 from
$81.4 million for the year ended June 30, 1997. This increase resulted primarily
from a $300.8 million, or 17.4%, increase in average balance of interest-bearing
liabilities to $2.028 billion for the year ended June 30, 1998 from $1.727
billion for the year ended June 30, 1997. Partially offsetting the increase in
average balance was a decrease in the average cost of funds to 4.69% from 4.71%.
The increase in average interest-bearing liabilities resulted primarily from an
increase in deposits from the aforementioned branch acquisitions with deposits
of $166.1 million and the acquisition of Jamestown with deposits of $54.3
million. In addition, above average internal growth and new office openings
accounted for the remaining increase in deposits. Also contributing to the
increase in interest expense was a $26.5 million, or 15.8%, increase in average
borrowed funds to $194.3 million at June 30, 1998 from $167.8 million at June
30, 1997. Borrowings increased in order to fund growing loan demand and to fund
the purchase of marketable securities in order to enhance the Company's net
interest income. The decrease in the average cost of funds was primarily the
result of lower market rates on deposit accounts and borrowed funds.

     Net interest income. Net interest income increased by $10.8 million, or
13.6%, to $90.5 million for the year ended June 30, 1999 from $79.7 million for
the year ended June 30, 1998. This increase resulted primarily from a $517.5
million, or 23.9%, increase in average interest-earning assets, the effect of
which was partially offset by a $534.9 million, or 26.4%, increase in average
interest-bearing liabilities and a decrease in the Company's net interest spread
to 3.16% for the year ended June 30, 1999 from 3.37% for the year ended June 30,
1998.

     Net interest income increased by $7.6 million, or 10.5%, to $79.7 million
for the year ended June 30, 1998 from $72.1 million for the year ended June 30,
1997. This increase resulted primarily from a $307.2 million, or 16.5%, increase
in average interest-earning assets, the effect of which was partially offset by
a $300.8 million, or 17.4%, increase in average interest-bearing liabilities and
a decrease in the Company's net interest spread to 3.37% for the year ended June
30, 1998 from 3.53% for the year ended June 30, 1997.

     Provision for Loan Losses. The Company establishes general valuation
allowances, which represent probable, but not yet identified losses inherent in
the Company's loan portfolio. In providing such allowances, management of the
Company considers, among other factors, economic trends within its market area,
concentrations

                                       36
<PAGE>

of credit risk and trends affecting the valuation of collateral for the
Company's loans. The Company provided $3.6 million, $4.1 million and $2.5
million in loan loss provisions for the fiscal years ended June 30, 1999, 1998
and 1997, respectively.

     The allowance for loan losses is based on management's estimate of the fair
value of collateral, the Company's actual loss experience, as well as standards
applied by the State Department of Banking and the FDIC in their regulatory
examinations of the Company. The Company provides both general valuation
allowances and specific valuation allowances with respect to its loan portfolio.
General valuation allowances are included, subject to limitation, in the
Company's regulatory capital for purposes of computing the Company's regulatory
risk-based capital. The Company regularly reviews its loan portfolio, including
problem loans, to determine whether any loans require classification or the
establishment of appropriate valuation allowances.

     Noninterest income. Noninterest income decreased by $1.6 million, or 18.2%,
to $7.2 million for the year ended June 30, 1999 from $8.8 million for the year
ended June 30, 1998. This decrease resulted primarily from a decrease of $2.6
million in the gain on sale of assets. More specifically, the Company recorded a
loss of $686,000 in the current year on the sale of investment securities
compared to a gain on such sales in the previous year of $1.5 million. The loss
incurred in the current year related to a decrease in the market value of
investment securities held in a trading portfolio. Excluding the effect of these
asset sales, noninterest income increased approximately $1.0 million, or 14.5%,
to $7.9 million for the year ended June 30, 1999 from $6.9 million for the year
ended June 30, 1998. This increase was primarily due to additional fee income
attributable to the substantial growth in the Company's deposits and loan
portfolio.

     Noninterest income increased by $2.1 million, or 31.3%, to $8.8 million for
the year ended June 30, 1998 from $6.7 million for the year ended June 30, 1997.
This increase resulted primarily from a gain of $1.5 million, before income tax,
from the sale of long-term, fixed-rate mortgage-backed securities in
anticipation of these securities being prepaid in a falling interest rate
environment and a nonrecurring gain of $339,000, before income tax, from the
sale of other property held for investment. In addition, fee income increased
approximately $1.0 million, or 42.4%, primarily as a result of the introduction
of a debit card program with related transaction fee income. Partially
offsetting these increases in noninterest income was a $332,000 decrease in the
gain on sale of real estate owned.

     Noninterest expense. Noninterest expense increased by $12.8 million, or
25.4%, to $63.1 million for the year ended June 30, 1999 from $50.3 million for
the year ended June 30, 1998. This increase resulted primarily from expected
increases associated with the substantial growth of the Company's retail network
during the fiscal year along with substantial investments in data processing and
technology. The Company opened or acquired 23 full-service banking facilities
during the current fiscal year which represented a 32.3% increase in the
Company's branch office network. In addition, the Company undertook a major
conversion to a new mainframe core application data processing system in
November 1998. This conversion was completed to enable the Company to become
more competitive into the next century and to accomplish most of the Company's
Year 2000 initiatives. The Company has identified approximately $1.5 million in
one-time expenses associated with this conversion, most of which was due to
additional compensation and travel. As a result of this substantial growth,
computer conversion and normal inflationary increases in costs, all expense
categories increased in the current fiscal year when compared to the previous
year. Compensation and employee benefit expense increased by $6.7 million, or
23.7%, to $35.0 million; premises and occupancy costs increased by $1.2 million,
or 20.3%, to $7.1 million; and other expenses increased by $3.2 million, or
22.4%, to $17.5 million. In addition, as a result of recording intangibles of
approximately $21.0 million relating to the acquisitions of Jamestown, Corry and
11 retail offices with deposits, the expense for the amortization of intangibles
increased by $1.7 million, or 94.4%, to $3.5 million for the year ended June 30,
1999 from $1.8 million for the year ended June 30, 1998.

     Excluding the one-time assessment of $8.6 million in the prior year to
recapitalize the SAIF, noninterest expense increased by $4.7 million, or 10.3%,
to $50.3 million for the year ended June 30, 1998 from $45.6 million for the
year ended June 30, 1997. This increase was primarily attributable to increases
in compensation and benefits of $2.3 million, or 8.8%, primarily as a result of
adding employees to support the Company's growth. Also contributing to the
increase in compensation expense was an increase in employee stock ownership
plan ("ESOP") expense resulting from the significant increase in the average
market price of the Company's stock. Other increases

                                       37
<PAGE>

related to inflation and growth were experienced in premises and occupancy costs
which increased $694,000, or 13.4%, check processing expense which increased
$483,000, or 31.3% and other (miscellaneous) operating expenses which increased
$1.1 million, or 14.7%. Data processing expense increased $498,000, or 43.9%,
which was primarily attributable to the purchase of new core application
hardware and software with the conversion scheduled for November 1998. In
addition, amortization of intangibles expense increased $427,000, or 30.9%, due
to the aforementioned current year acquisitions. Partially offsetting these
increases in noninterest expense were decreases in federal deposit insurance
expense of $529,000, or 40.6%, due to a decrease in premiums as a result of the
SAIF recapitalization and a decrease in advertising expense of $323,000, or
20.1%, as the prior year expense included higher advertising costs related to
the Company's centennial anniversary celebration.

     Income taxes. Income tax expense decreased by $2.1 million, or 16.2%, to
$10.9 million for the year ended June 30, 1999 from $13.0 million for the year
ended June 30, 1998. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in net income
before tax as well as a decrease in the effective tax rate to 35% for the year
ended June 30, 1999 from 38% for the year ended June 30, 1998 due to an increase
in tax free assets.

     Income tax expense increased by $4.5 million, or 52.9% to $13.0 million for
the year ended June 30, 1998 from $8.5 million for the year ended June 30, 1997.
This increase was a direct result of the increase in income subject to tax, as
the effective tax rate remained constant at approximately 38%.

     Deposit Insurance Premiums. The deposits of the Company are presently
insured by the SAIF, which along with the Bank Insurance Fund (the "BIF"), is
one of the two insurance funds administered by the FDIC. In September 1996,
Congress enacted legislation to recapitalize the SAIF by a one-time assessment
on all SAIF-insured deposits held as of March 31, 1995. The assessment was 65.7
basis points per $100 in deposits, payable on November 30, 1996. For the
Company, the assessment amounted to $8.6 million (or $5.1 million when adjusted
for taxes), based on the Company's SAIF-insured deposits, including the March
31, 1995 deposits of all SAIF insured institutions acquired by Northwest after
March 31, 1995, of $1.304 billion. In addition, pursuant to the legislation,
interest payments on FICO bonds issued in the late 1980's by the Financing
Corporation to recapitalize the now defunct Federal Savings and Loan Insurance
Corporation are now paid jointly by BIF-insured institutions and SAIF-insured
institutions. As of June 30, 1999, the FICO assessment was 1.29 basis points per
$100 of BIF deposits, and 6.44 basis points per $100 of SAIF deposits.

     Rate/Volume Analysis. Net interest income can also be analyzed in terms of
the impact of changes in interest rates on interest-earning assets and
interest-bearing liabilities and changes in the volume or amount of these assets
and liabilities. The following table represents the extent to which changes in
interest rates and changes in the volume of interest-earning assets and
interest-bearing liabilities have affected the Company's interest income and
interest expense during the periods indicated. Information is provided in each
category with respect to (i) changes attributable to changes in volume (change
in volume multiplied by prior rate), (ii) changes attributable to changes in
rate (changes in rate multiplied by prior volume), (iii) changes in rate-volume
(changes in rate multiplied by changes in volume), and (iv) the net change.

     Asset and Liability Management-Interest Rate Sensitivity Analysis. The
matching of assets and liabilities may be analyzed by examining the extent to
which such assets and liabilities are "interest rate sensitive" and by
monitoring an institution's interest rate sensitivity "gap." An asset or
liability is said to be interest rate sensitive within a specific time period if
it will mature or reprice within that time period. The interest rate sensitivity
gap is defined as the difference between the amount of interest-earning assets
maturing or repricing within a specific time period and the amount of
interest-bearing liabilities maturing or repricing within that time period. A
gap is considered positive when the amount of interest rate sensitive assets
exceeds the amount of interest rate sensitive liabilities. A gap is considered
negative when the amount of interest rate sensitive liabilities exceeds the
amount of interest rate sensitive assets. During a period of rising interest
rates, a negative gap would tend to adversely affect net interest income while a
positive gap would tend to positively affect net interest income. Similarly,
during a period of falling interest rates, a negative gap would tend to
positively affect net interest income while a positive gap would tend to
adversely affect net interest income.

     The Company's policy in recent years has been to reduce its exposure to
interest rate risk generally by better matching the maturities of its interest
rate sensitive assets and liabilities and by increasing the interest rate
sensitivity of its interest-earning assets. The Company (i) emphasizes the
origination of short-term, fixed-rate consumer loans, and at June 30, 1999, such
loans constituted $312.1 million, or 13.6%, of the Company's total loan
portfolio; (ii) emphasizes the origination of one- to four-family residential
mortgage loans with terms of 15 years or less, and purchases shorter term or
adjustable-rate investment securities and mortgage-backed securities; and (iii)
originates adjustable-rate mortgage loans, adjustable-rate consumer loans, and
adjustable-rate commercial loans, which at June 30, 1999, totalled $231.9
million or 10.1% of the Company's total loan portfolio. Of the Company's $2.937
billion of interest-earning assets at June 30, 1999, $526.6 million, or 17.9%,
consisted of assets with adjustable-rates of interest. However, because of the
general reduction in the level of market interest rates the origination of
adjustable-rate loans was limited during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1999.
The Company also attempts to reduce interest rate

                                       40
<PAGE>

risk by lengthening the maturities of its interest-bearing liabilities by using
FHLB advances as a source of long-term fixed-rate funds, and by promoting longer
term certificates of deposit.

     At June 30, 1999, total interest-bearing liabilities maturing or repricing
within one year exceeded total interest-earning assets maturing or repricing in
the same period by $253.8 million, representing a cumulative negative one-year
gap ratio of 8.24%. The Company has a Risk Management Committee comprised of
certain members of the Board of Directors which is responsible for reviewing the
Company's asset and liability management policies. The Committee meets quarterly
and, as part of their risk management assessment, reviews interest rate risks
and trends, the Company's interest sensitivity position and the liquidity and
market value of the Company's investment portfolio.

     The following table sets forth the amounts of interest-earning assets and
interest-bearing liabilities outstanding at June 30, 1999, which are expected to
reprice or mature, based upon certain assumptions, in each of the future time
periods shown. Except as stated below, the amounts of assets and liabilities
shown that reprice or mature during a particular period were determined in
accordance with the earlier of the term of repricing or the contractual term of
the asset or liability. Management believes that these assumptions approximate
the standards used in the savings industry and considers them appropriate and
reasonable. For information regarding the contractual maturities of the
Company's loans, investments and deposits, see "Business of the Company--Lending
Activities," "--Investment Activities" and "--Sources of Funds."

</TABLE>

     In preparing the table above, it has been assumed, in assessing the
interest rate sensitivity of the Company that: (i) adjustable-rate mortgage
loans will prepay at an annual rate of 20.0%; (ii) fixed-rate mortgage loans
will prepay at an annual rate of 10.0%; (iii) commercial loans will prepay at an
annual rate of 15.0%; (iv) consumer loans will prepay at an annual rate of
20.0%; (v) fixed maturity deposits will not be withdrawn prior to maturity; (vi)
money market accounts will gradually reprice over the next five years; and (vii)
passbook and checking accounts will reprice either when the rates on such
accounts reprice as interest rate levels change, or when deposit holders

                                       41
<PAGE>

withdraw funds from such accounts and select other types of deposit accounts,
such as certificate accounts, which may have higher interest rates. For purposes
of this analysis, management has estimated, based on historical trends, that
only $30 million of the Company's checking accounts and $155 million of the
Company's passbook accounts are interest sensitive and will reprice in one year
or less, and that the remainder will reprice over longer time periods.

     The above assumptions utilized by management are annual percentages based
on remaining balances and should not be regarded as indicative of the actual
prepayments and withdrawals that may be experienced by the Company. Moreover,
certain shortcomings are inherent in the analysis presented by the foregoing
table. For example, although certain assets and liabilities may have similar
maturities or periods to repricing, they may react in different degrees to
changes in market interest rates. Also, interest rates on certain types of
assets and liabilities may fluctuate in advance of or lag behind changes in
market interest rates. Additionally, certain assets, such as some
adjustable-rate loans, have features that restrict changes in interest rates on
a short-term basis and over the life of the asset. Moreover, in the event of a
change in interest rates, prepayment and early withdrawal levels would likely
deviate significantly from those assumed in calculating the table.

     In an effort to assess the market risk, the Company utilizes a simulation
model to determine the effect of immediate incremental increases or decreases in
interest rates on net interest income and the market value of the Company's
equity. Certain assumptions are made regarding loan prepayments and decay rates
of passbook and NOW accounts. Because it is difficult to accurately project the
market reaction of depositors and borrowers, the effects of actual changes in
interest on these assumptions may differ from simulated results.

     The Company has established the following guidelines for assuming interest
rate risk:

     .    Net interest margin simulation. Given a parallel shift of 2% in
          interest rates, the estimated net interest margin may not change by
          more than 30% within a one-year period.

     .    Market value of equity simulation. The market value of the Company's
          equity is the net present value of the Company's assets and
          liabilities. Given a parallel shift of 2% in interest rates, equity
          may not decrease by more than 50% of total shareholder' equity.

     The following table illustrates the simulated impact of a 1% or 2% upward
or downward movement in interest rates on net interest income, return on average
equity, earnings per share and market value of equity. This analysis was
prepared assuming that interest-earning asset levels at June 30, 1999 remain
constant. The impact of the rate movements was computed by simulating the effect
of an immediate and sustained shift in interest rates over a twelve-month period
from the June 30, 1999 levels.

                                              Movements in interest rates from

     Regulatory Capital Requirements. The Company is subject to minimum capital
standards which are similar to those applicable to the Bank. The FDIC has
promulgated regulations and adopted a statement of policy regarding the capital
adequacy of state-chartered banks. The FDIC's capital regulations establish a
minimum 3.0% Tier I leverage capital requirement for the most highly-rated
state-chartered, non-member banks, with an additional cushion of at least 100 to
200 basis points for all other state-chartered, non-member banks, which
effectively will increase the minimum Tier I leverage ratio for such other banks
to 4.0% to 5.0% or more. Under the FDIC's regulation, highest-rated banks are
those that the FDIC determines are not anticipating or experiencing significant

                                       42

growth and have well diversified risk, including no undue interest rate risk
exposure, excellent asset quality, high liquidity, good earnings and, in
general, which are considered a strong banking organization, rated composite 1
under the Uniform Financial Institutions Rating System. Leverage or core capital
is defined as the sum of common stockholders' equity (including retained
earnings), noncumulative perpetual preferred stock and related surplus, and
minority interests in consolidated subsidiaries, minus all intangible assets
other than certain qualifying supervisory goodwill, and certain purchased
mortgage servicing rights and purchased credit card relationships.

     The FDIC also requires that savings banks meet a risk-based capital
standard. The risk-based capital standard for savings banks requires the
maintenance of total capital which is defined as Tier I capital and
supplementary (Tier 2 capital) to risk weighted assets of 8%. In determining the
amount of risk-weighted assets, all assets, plus certain off balance sheet
assets, are multiplied by a risk-weight of 0% to 100%, based on the risks the
FDIC believes are inherent in the type of asset or item.

     The components of Tier I capital are equivalent to those discussed above
under the 3% leverage standard. The components of supplementary (Tier 2) capital
include certain perpetual preferred stock, certain mandatory convertible
securities, certain subordinated debt and intermediate preferred stock and
general allowances for loan and lease losses. Allowance for loan and lease
losses includable in supplementary capital is limited to a maximum of 1.25% of
risk-weighted assets. Overall, the amount of capital counted toward
supplementary capital cannot exceed 100% of core capital. At June 30, 1999, the
Company exceeded each of its capital requirements.

     A bank which has less than the minimum leverage capital requirement shall,
within 60 days of the date as of which it fails to comply with such requirement,
submit to its FDIC regional director for review and approval a reasonable plan
describing the means and timing by which the bank shall achieve its minimum
leverage capital requirement. A bank which fails to file such plan with the FDIC
is deemed to be operating in an unsafe and unsound manner, and could be subject
to a cease-and-desist order from the FDIC. The FDIC's regulation also provides
that any insured depository institution with a ratio of Tier I capital to total
assets that is less than 2.0% is deemed to be operating in an unsafe or unsound
condition pursuant to Section 8(a) of the FDIA and is subject to potential
termination of deposit insurance. However, such an institution will not be
subject to an enforcement proceeding thereunder solely on account of its capital
ratios if it has entered into and is in compliance with a written agreement with
the FDIC to increase its Tier I leverage capital ratio to such level as the FDIC
deems appropriate and to take such other action as may be necessary for the
institution to be operated in a safe and sound manner. The FDIC capital
regulation also provides, among other things, for the issuance by the FDIC or
its designee(s) of a capital directive, which is a final order issued to a bank
that fails to maintain minimum capital to restore its capital to the minimum
leverage capital requirement within a specified time period. Such directive is
enforceable in the same manner as a final cease-and-desist order.

----------------------
(1) Tier 2 capital consists of the allowance for loan losses, which is limited
    to 1.25% of total risk-weighted assets as detailed under regulations of the
    FDIC, and 45% of pre-tax net unrealized gains on securities available-for-
    sale.
(2) The FDIC has indicated that the most highly rated institutions which meet
    certain criteria will be required to maintain a ratio of 3.00%, and all
    other institutions will be required to maintain an additional cushion of 100
    to 200 basis points.

     The Company is also subject to Pennsylvania Department of Banking
("Department") capital guidelines. Although not adopted in regulation form, the
Department utilizes capital standards requiring a minimum of 6% leverage capital
and 10% risk-based capital. The components of leverage and risk-based capital
are substantially the same as those defined by the FDIC.

     Liquidity and Capital Resources. The Company is required to maintain a
sufficient level of liquid assets, as determined by management and defined and
reviewed for adequacy by the FDIC during their regular examinations. The FDIC,
however, does not prescribe by regulation a minimum amount or percentage of
liquid assets. The FDIC allows any marketable security, whose sale would not
impair the capital adequacy of the Company, to be eligible for liquidity. The
Company's liquidity is quantified through the use of a standard liquidity ratio
of liquid assets to short-term borrowings plus deposits. Using this formula, the
Company's liquidity ratio was 23.8% as of June 30, 1999. The Company adjusts its
liquidity levels in order to meet funding needs of deposit outflows, repayment
of borrowings and loan commitments. The Company also adjusts liquidity as
appropriate to meet its asset and liability management objectives.

     The Company's primary sources of funds are the amortization and repayment
of loans and mortgage-backed securities, maturities of investment securities and
other short-term investments, and earnings and funds provided from operations.
While scheduled principal repayments on loans and mortgage-backed securities are
a relatively predictable source of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are
greatly influenced by general interest rate levels, economic conditions, and
competition. The Company manages the pricing of its deposits to maintain a
desired deposit balance. In addition, the Company invests excess funds in
short-term interest-earning and other assets, which provide liquidity to meet
lending requirements. Short-term interest-earning deposits with the FHLB of
Pittsburgh amounted to $45.9 million at June 30, 1999. Other assets qualifying
for liquidity outstanding at June 30, 1999, amounted to $623.0 million. For
additional information about cash flows from the Company's operating, financing,
and investing activities, see Statements of Cash Flows included in the
Consolidated Financial Statements.

     A major portion of the Company's liquidity consists of cash and cash
equivalents, which are a product of its operating, investing, and financing
activities. The primary sources of cash were net income, principal repayments on
loans and mortgage-backed securities, and increases in deposit accounts.

                                       44
<PAGE>

     Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term function of business
management. If the Company requires funds beyond its ability to generate them
internally, borrowing agreements exist with the FHLB which provide an additional
source of funds. At June 30, 1999, the Company had $317.4 million in advances
from the FHLB. The Company borrows from the FHLB to reduce interest rate risk
and to provide liquidity when necessary.

     At June 30, 1999, the Company's customers had $71.5 million of unused lines
of credit available. This amount does not include the unfunded portion of loans
in process. Certificates of deposit scheduled to mature in less than one year at
June 30, 1999, totaled $992.7 million. Based on prior experience, management
believes that a significant portion of such deposits will remain with the
Company.

     The major sources of the Company's cash flows are the areas of loans,
marketable securities, deposits and borrowed funds.

     Deposits are the Company's primary source of externally generated funds.
The level of deposit inflows during any given period is heavily influenced by
factors outside of management's control, such as the general level of short-term
and long-term interest rates in the economy, as well as higher alternative
yields that investors may obtain on competing investments such as money market
mutual funds. Financial institutions, such as the Company, are also subject to
deposit outflows. The Company's net deposits excluding interest credits and
acquisitions, increased by $117.1 million, $97.0 million and $103.5 million for
the fiscal years ended June 30, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

     Similarly, the amount of principal repayments on loans and the amount of
new loan originations is heavily influenced by the general level of interest
rates in the economy. Funds received from principal payments on loans for the
fiscal years ended in June 30, 1999, 1998 and 1997 were $512.1 million, $425.3
million and $371.3 million, respectively. Loan originations for the years ended
June 30, 1999, 1998 and 1997 were $881.9 million, $802.1 million and $563.2
million, respectively. The Company also sells a portion of the loans it
originates and the cash flows from such sales for the fiscal years ended June
30, 1999, 1998 and 1997 were $7.4 million, $30.1 million and $47.9 million,
respectively.

     The Company also experiences significant cash flows from its portfolio of
marketable securities as principal payments are received on mortgage-backed
securities and investment securities, which generally are of short duration,
mature. During recent years, the Company has utilized cash to increase its
portfolio of investment securities. Cash flow from the repayment of principal
and the maturity of marketable securities for the fiscal years ended June 30,
1999, 1998 and 1997 were $122.5 million, $59.6 million and $27.0 million,
respectively. During the fiscal years ended June 30, 1999, 1998 and 1997, the
bank utilized cash to purchase marketable securities in the amount of $195.1
million, $167.4 million and $30.0 million, respectively.

     The Company utilizes borrowings as a source of liquidity, when necessary,
and as a source of funds for long term investment when market conditions permit.
The net cash flow from the receipt and repayment of borrowings were net
increases of $59.2 million, $66.2 million and $6.6 million for the fiscal years
ended June 30, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

     Other activity with respect to cash flow was the payment of cash dividends
on common stock in the amount of $7.6 million, $7.5 million and $7.5 million for
the fiscal years ended June 30 1999, 1998 and 1997 respectively.

     Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices. The Consolidated Financial
Statements of the Company and notes thereto, presented elsewhere herein, have
been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, which
require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of
historical dollars without considering the change in the relative purchasing
power of money over time and due to inflation. The impact of inflation is
reflected in the increased cost of the Company's operations. Unlike most
industrial companies, nearly all the assets and liabilities of the Company are
monetary. As a result, interest rates have a greater impact on the Company's
performance than do the effects of general levels of inflation. Interest rates
do not necessarily move in the same direction or to the same extent as the price
of goods and services.

     Capability of the Company's Data Processing to Accommodate the Year 2000.

     The Company has devoted substantial resources to address the possible
impact of issues relating to the year 2000 ("Y2K") on the Company and its
operations. In 1997, after several years of assessing the potential problems,
the Company adopted a formal plan addressing the Y2K issue.

     The Company's most critical operating system is its core application
processing and the Company addressed this mission critical area by converting to
a new core application processing system in November of 1998. The Company
recently completed its testing of this core application system and has deemed it
to be fully compliant for year 2000 processing. The approximate cost of this
conversion was $3,000,000. Approximately $1,500,00 of these costs were expenses
recorded in the quarter ended December 31, 1998. The remaining costs have been
capitalized and will be expensed over various periods in accordance with the
Company's depreciation policy.

     Other than the core application conversion, costs relating to Y2K issues
are not expected to be material and are not expected to have a material effect
on the results of operations of the Company.

     The Company is continuously monitoring relationships with material third
parties, including large deposit and loan customers, to assess the progress of
their Y2K efforts. It is possible that the Company could be negatively impacted
in the year 2000 because external parties have not successfully addressed their
Y2K issues. Although the effects of such third party problems are not known, the
Company does not foresee any problems which will be material in nature. To
mitigate its exposure to the failure of third parties, the Company is actively
designing a contingency plan which will allow it to continue services in the
event unforeseeable external factors disrupt normal operations in the year 2000.
However, there can be no assurance that any contingency plans will completely
mitigate the effects of any such failure.

     Impact of New Accounting Standards. In June 1997, the FASB released SFAS
No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" ("SFAS 130"), which establishes
standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components
in a full set of general purpose financial statements for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 1997. As such, the Company adopted this statement in the
current fiscal year by adding the required disclosure in the Consolidated
Statement of Financial Condition, the Consolidated Statement of Changes in
Shareholders' Equity and the footnotes to the audited financial statements. The
adoption of SFAS 130 had no effect on the reported earnings or operations of the
Company.

     During 1998, the Company adopted SFAS 131 "Disclosure about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information," which requires disclosures about reportable
segments of an enterprise. The determination of these segments is based upon the
manner in which the decision makers of an enterprise evaluates its financial
information. The operating results of the Company as a single entity are used by
management in making operating decisions. Therefore, the consolidated financial
statements, as presented herein, represent the results of a single financial
services segment.

     In February 1998, the FASB released SFAS 132 "Employers' Disclosures about
Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits, an amendment of FASB Statements No.
87, 88, and 106" ("SFAS 132"). SFAS 132 standardizes disclosure requirements for
pensions and postretirement benefits where applicable, requires additional
information on changes in the benefit obligations and fair values of plan
assets, and eliminates certain disclosures that are no longer useful. This
statement, however, does not change the measurement or recognition requirements
of pension or postretirement benefit plans. The Company adopted this statement
in the current fiscal year with no effect on the reported earnings or
operations.

     In March 1998, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
(AICPA) released Statement of Position No. 98-1 ("SOP 98-1") "Accounting for the
Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use." SOP 98-1
requires the capitalization of certain costs incurred in connection with
developing or obtaining software for internal use, that otherwise may have been
expensed. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December
15, 1998 and restatement of prior year financial information is not permitted.
Adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the
Company's financial position or results of operations.

                                       46
<PAGE>
     In June 1998, the FASB released SFAS 133 "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS 133"). SFAS 133 establishes
accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and hedging
activities. It requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either
assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure those
instruments at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a
derivative (that is, gains and losses) depends on the intended use of the
derivative and the resulting designation. This statement is effective for all
fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999. Earlier
application is encouraged, however, this statement should not be applied
retroactively to financial statements of prior periods. The Company does not
currently participate in any activity that qualifies as derivative or hedging
and, therefore, does not expect this statement to have a material effect on the
financial statements.

     In June 1999, the FASB issued SFAS 137 "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities - Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB
Statement 133 - an amendment of FSAB Statement 133", which delays the adoption
of FASB Statement 133 until June 30, 2000.

     In October 1998, the FASB released SFAS 134 "Accounting for Mortgage-Backed
Securities Retained after the Securitization of Mortgage Loans Held for Sale by
a Mortgage Banking Entity - an amendment of FASB Statement No. 65" ("SFAS 134").
SFAS 134 amends Statement 65 to require that after the securitization of
mortgage loans, a mortgage banking entity classify the resulting mortgage-backed
securities or other retained interests as either hold-to-maturity,
available-for-sale or trading based on its ability and intent to hold those
securities. SFAS 134 is effective for the first fiscal quarter beginning after
December 15, 1998 and had no impact on the Company's consolidated financial
statements.

                  Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

                         June 30, 1999, 1998 and 1997

           (All dollar amounts presented in tables are in thousands)


(1)  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

     (a)  Nature of Operations

          Northwest Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") headquartered in Warren,
          Pennsylvania, is a Bank Holding Company for its wholly owned
          subsidiaries Northwest Savings Bank ("Northwest") and Jamestown
          Savings Bank ("Jamestown"). These retail oriented financial
          institutions offer traditional deposit and loan products through their
          88 banking locations in Pennsylvania, four banking locations in
          southwestern New York and two banking locations in eastern Ohio. The
          Company and its subsidiaries also offer consumer finance products
          through 35 consumer finance offices in Pennsylvania and one in New
          York. The Company maintains geographic diversification in its real
          estate loan portfolio by originating loans through correspondent
          originators by way of a mortgage production office in Pittsburgh,
          Pennsylvania.

     (b)  Consolidation

          The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
          Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries after elimination of all
          significant intercompany accounts and transactions.

     (c)  Cash and Cash Equivalents

          For purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents
          include cash and amounts due from depository institutions and
          interest-bearing deposits in other financial institutions.

     (d)  Marketable Securities

          The Company classifies marketable securities at the time of their
          purchase as either held-to-maturity, available-for-sale or trading
          securities. Securities for which management has the intent and the
          Company has the ability to hold until their maturity are classified as
          held-to-maturity and are carried on the Company's books at cost,
          adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discount on a
          level yield basis. If it is management's intent at the time of
          purchase to hold securities for an indefinite period of time and/or to
          use such securities as part of its asset/liability management
          strategy, the securities are classified as available-for-sale and are
          carried at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses excluded from
          net earnings and reported as accumulated other comprehensive income, a
          separate component of shareholders' equity, net of tax. Securities
          available-for-sale include securities which may be sold in response to
          changes in interest rates, resultant prepayment risk or other market
          factors. Securities that are bought and held principally for the
          purpose of selling them in the near term are classified as trading and
          are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses included

                  Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

                         June 30, 1999, 1998 and 1997

          Federal law requires a member institution of the Federal Home Loan
          Bank ("FHLB") system to hold stock of its district FHLB according to a
          predetermined formula. This stock is recorded at cost and may be
          pledged to secure FHLB advances.

     (e)  Loans Receivable

          Loans are stated at their unpaid principal balance net of any deferred
          origination fees or costs and the allowance for estimated loan losses.
          Interest income on loans is credited to income as earned. Interest
          earned on loans for which no payments were received during the month
          is accrued at month end. Interest accrued on loans more than ninety
          days delinquent is offset by a reserve for uncollected interest, and
          such loans are placed on nonaccrual status.

          The Company has identified certain residential loans which will be
          sold prior to maturity. These loans are recorded at the lower of
          amortized cost or market value and are not significant as of June 30,
          1999 and 1998.

          Loan fees and certain direct loan origination costs are deferred, and
          the net deferred fee or cost is then recognized using the level-yield
          method over the contractual life of the loans, adjusted for estimated
          prepayments.

     (f)  Real Estate Owned

          Real estate owned (acquired by foreclosure or voluntarily conveyed by
          delinquent borrowers) is initially recorded at fair value at the time
          of acquisition and subsequently reported at the lower of its new cost
          basis or fair value less estimated costs to sell. Gains and losses on
          real estate owned are credited or charged to operations.

     (g)  Provision for Loan Losses

          Provisions for estimated losses on the loan portfolios, other than
          those specifically identified, are charged to earnings in an amount
          that results in a general loss allowance sufficient, in management's
          judgment, to cover probable losses based on past experience and
          economic conditions. Provisions for estimated losses on specific loans
          are charged to the allowance for loan losses when, in the opinion of
          management, a significant decline reduces the estimated fair value of
          the underlying collateral to less than the loan's current carrying
          value.

                                                                     (Continued)

           (All dollar amounts presented in tables are in thousands)


          Management considers a loan to be impaired when it is probable that
          the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the
          contractual terms of the loan agreement. Generally, all nonaccrual
          loans are deemed to be impaired. In evaluating whether a loan is
          impaired, management considers not only the amount that the Company
          expects to collect but also the timing of collection. Generally, if a
          delay in payment is insignificant (e.g., less than 30 days), a loan is
          not deemed to be impaired.

          When a loan is considered to be impaired, the amount of impairment is
          measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows
          discounted at the loan's effective interest rate or at the loan's
          market price or fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral
          dependent. Loans are evaluated individually for impairment. Smaller
          balance, homogeneous loans (e.g., primarily consumer and residential
          mortgages) are evaluated collectively for impairment. Impairment
          losses are included in the allowance for loan losses. Impaired loans
          are charged off when management believes that the ultimate
          collectibility of a loan is not likely.

          Interest income on impaired loans is recognized using the cash basis
          method. Such interest ultimately collected is credited to income in
          the period of recovery or applied to reduce principal if there is
          sufficient doubt about the collectibility of principal. Interest on
          impaired loans that are contractually past due ninety days and over is
          reserved.

     (h)  Goodwill and Other Intangibles

          Goodwill and other intangible assets are amortized using the straight-
          line method over the estimated benefit period of 10 years. Intangible
          assets are reviewed for possible impairment when events or changed
          circumstances may affect the underlying basis of the asset.

     (i)  Premises and Equipment

          Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated
          depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is accumulated on a
          straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the related
          assets. Estimated lives are twenty to thirty years for buildings, five
          years for automobiles and five to ten years for furniture and other
          equipment. Amortization of leasehold improvements is accumulated on a
          straight-line basis over the terms of the related leases or the useful
          lives of the related assets, whichever is shorter.

     (j)  Savings Deposits

          Interest on savings deposits is accrued and charged to expense monthly
          and is paid or credited in accordance with the terms of the accounts.

                                                                     (Continued)

     (k)  Income Taxes

          The Company joins with its wholly owned subsidiaries, Northwest and
          Jamestown, in filing a consolidated federal income tax return.

          The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability
          method. The objective of the asset and liability method is to
          establish deferred tax assets and liabilities for temporary
          differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of the
          Company's assets and liabilities based on enacted tax rates expected
          to be in effect when such amounts are realized or settled.

     (l)  Pension Plan

          The Company has noncontributory defined benefit pension plans. The net
          periodic pension cost has been calculated in accordance with Statement
          of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87, "Employers' Accounting for
          Pension."

     (m)  Reclassification of Prior Years' Statements

          Certain items previously reported have been reclassified to conform
          with the current year's reporting format.

          The number of shares and related earnings per share have been restated
          to reflect a two-for-one stock split in fiscal year 1998 (see notes 13
          and 14).

     (n)  Off-Balance-Sheet Instruments

          In the normal course of business, the Company extends credit in the
          form of mortgage commitments, undisbursed lines of credit and standby
          letters of credit. These off-balance-sheet instruments involve, to
          various degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk not
          reported in the consolidated statement of financial condition.

     (o)  Use of Estimates

          The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
          accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
          and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
          liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
          date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues
          and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
          from these estimates.

                                                                     (Continued)

(2)  Corporate Reorganization

     On February 17, 1998, Northwest reorganized into a two-tier holding company
     structure. Northwest formed a new, state chartered stock holding company,
     Northwest Bancorp, Inc., which was 69.2% owned by Northwest Bancorp MHC. As
     a result of this reorganization, Northwest Bancorp, Inc. became the parent
     company of Northwest and owns 100% of Northwest's common stock. The
     previous shareholders of Northwest stock received an equivalent number of
     shares of the new publicly traded entity, Northwest Bancorp, Inc. Aside
     from this two-tier holding company structure giving the Company greater
     flexibility by maintaining the benefits of the mutual holding company while
     capitalizing on the additional opportunities available to stock holding
     companies, the operations remain unchanged.

     The reorganization was accounted for in a manner similar to a pooling of
     interests. Accordingly, the 1997 consolidated financial statements of the
     Company are identical to the fiscal 1997 consolidated financial statements
     of Northwest.

     During the past fiscal year, the Board of Trustees of Northwest Bancorp MHC
     authorized the purchase of up to 1,500,000 of the outstanding publicly
     traded shares of Northwest Bancorp, Inc. As of June 30, 1999, the mutual
     holding company had purchased 1,499,752 shares in the open market and now
     owns 34,228,065, or 72.3%, of the outstanding shares of Northwest Bancorp,
     Inc.

(3)  Business Combinations

     During fiscal 1999, the Company purchased 11 retail office facilities in
     northwest and central Pennsylvania from two financial institutions and
     assumed deposits of approximately $225,500,000. A premium of approximately
     $20,600,000 was paid for these offices and the resulting intangible asset
     is being amortized over a 10-year period on a straight-line basis.

     On October 21, 1998, the Company also acquired Corry Savings Bank, a
     Pennsylvania chartered mutual savings bank headquartered in Corry,
     Pennsylvania, with assets of approximately $25,000,000 and capital of
     approximately $2,500,000. In conjunction with this acquisition, 146,815
     shares of the common stock of Northwest Bancorp, Inc. were sold in a stock
     offering at an average price of $8.13 per share, net of expenses, with
     priority given to the depositors of Corry Savings Bank. In addition,
     Northwest Bancorp, MHC, the mutual holding company for Northwest Bancorp,
     Inc., received 328,313 shares of the common stock of Northwest Bancorp,
     Inc. in exchange for the assets and liabilities of Corry Savings Bank. As a
     result of this transaction, Northwest Bancorp MHC continued to own
     approximately 69.2% of the outstanding shares of Northwest Bancorp, Inc.
     This acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting
     and resulted in the Company recording

                                                                     (Continued)

     negative goodwill of approximately $3,000,000 which is being amortized over
     a 10-year period on a straight-line basis.

     In addition, during fiscal 1999, the Company made a tender offer and
     purchased the remaining outstanding shares of Jamestown from the minority
     shareholders resulting in additional goodwill of approximately $3,000,000
     which is being amortized over a 10-year period on a straight-line basis.

     During fiscal 1998, the Company purchased 10 retail office facilities from
     two financial institutions and assumed deposits of $166,000,000. The
     resulting intangible asset of approximately $12,125,000 is being amortized
     over a 10-year period on a straight-line basis. In addition, the Company
     purchased, from Northwest Bancorp MHC, 64.3% of the common stock of
     Jamestown, which had assets of approximately $56,000,000, for cash of
     $3,920,000.

     During fiscal 1997, Northwest completed the acquisition of a savings bank
     and a consumer discount company: The savings bank had assets of
     approximately $56,000,000 and was purchased for cash of $17,986,000, and
     the consumer discount company had assets of approximately $1,050,000 and
     was purchased for cash of $786,000. The acquisitions were recorded using
     the purchase method of accounting resulting in goodwill of approximately
     $3,000,000 which is being amortized over a 10-year period on a straight-
     line basis.

                                                                     (Continued)

     At June 30, 1999 and 1998, the Company serviced loans for others
     approximating $71,107,000 and $90,930,000, respectively. These loans
     serviced for others are not assets of the Company and are appropriately
     excluded from the Company's financial statements.

     At June 30, 1999, approximately 90% of the Company's net loan portfolio was
     secured by properties located in Pennsylvania. The Company does not believe
     it has significant concentrations of credit risk to any one group of
     borrowers given its underwriting and collateral requirements.

     Loans receivable at June 30, 1999, include $231,902,000 of adjustable rate
     loans and $2,071,032,000 of fixed rate loans.

     The Company's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the
     other party to off-balance-sheet financial instruments is represented by
     the contract amount of the financial instrument. The Company uses the same
     credit policies in making commitments for off-balance-sheet financial
     instruments as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments. Financial
     instruments with off-balance-sheet risk as of June 30, 1999 and 1998, are

     Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long
     as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract.
     Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination
     clauses and may require payment of a fee. The Company evaluates each
     customer's creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of
     collateral obtained, if deemed necessary, by the Company upon extension of
     credit is based on management's credit evaluation of the counterparty.
     Collateral held varies but generally may include cash, marketable
     securities and property.

     Outstanding mortgage loan commitments at June 30, 1999, for fixed rate
     loans, are $31,902,000. The interest rates on these commitments approximate
     market rates at June 30, 1999. The fair value of these commitments are
     affected by fluctuations in market rates of interest. Outstanding mortgage
     loan commitments at June 30, 1999, for adjustable rate loans are
     $2,500,000.

     All of the Company's nonaccrual loans, which totaled $16,116,000 at June
     30, 1999, $8,612,000 at June 30, 1998, and $10,430,000 at June 30, 1997,
     are considered to be impaired loans. Average impaired loans during 1999,
     1998 and 1997 were $14,049,000, $11,204,000 and $11,818,000, respectively.
     All of the Company's impaired loans at June 30, 1999, were collateral
     dependent. Since, at June 30, 1999 and 1998, the value of the collateral
     for each impaired loan exceeded the carrying value of the impaired loan, no
     impairment reserve was established. There was no interest income recognized
     on impaired loans during fiscal 1999. Interest income on impaired loans for
     fiscal 1998 and 1997, recognized using a cash basis method of accounting,
     was $230,000 and $205,000, respectively.

     There were no commitments to lend additional funds to debtors on nonaccrual
     status.

     Management believes that the allowance for estimated loan losses is
     appropriate as of June 30, 1999. While management uses available
     information to provide for losses, 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 process,
     periodically review the Company's allowance for loan losses. Such agencies
     may require the Company to recognize additions to the allowance based on
     their judgments about information available to them at the time of their
     examination.

</TABLE>

       The Company has recorded a full valuation allowance on the net operating
       loss carryforward related to Jamestown. The Company has determined that
       no valuation allowance is necessary for the remaining deferred tax assets
       because it is more likely that these assets will be realized through
       carryback to taxable income in prior years, future reversals of existing
       temporary differences and, to a lesser extent, through future taxable
       income. The Company will continue to review the criteria related to the
       recognition of deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis.

       Under provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, Northwest has
       approximately $327,000 of net operating losses which expire in years 2005
       through 2010. Jamestown has net operating losses of approximately
       $1,870,000 which expire in years 2011 through 2013.

                                                                     (Continued)

(13) Shareholders' Equity

     The Board of Directors of Northwest authorized a two-for-one common stock
     split in the form of a stock dividend in October 1997. The additional
     shares resulting from the split were distributed on November 14, 1997, to
     shareholders of record on November 1, 1997.

     Retained earnings are partially restricted in connection with regulations
     related to the insurance of savings accounts which require Northwest to
     maintain certain statutory reserves. Northwest and Jamestown may not pay
     dividends on or repurchase any of their common stock if the effect thereof
     would reduce retained earnings below the level of adequate capitalization
     as defined by federal and state regulators.

     In tax years prior to fiscal 1997, Northwest was permitted, under the
     Internal Revenue Code (the Code), to deduct an annual addition to a reserve
     for bad debts in determining taxable income, subject to certain
     limitations. Bad debt deductions for income tax purposes are included in
     taxable income of later years only if the bad debt reserve is used
     subsequently for purposes other than to absorb bad debt losses. Because
     Northwest does not intend to use the reserve for purposes other than to
     absorb losses, no deferred income taxes have been provided prior to fiscal
     1987. Retained earnings at June 30, 1999, includes approximately
     $28,293,000 representing such bad debt deductions for which no deferred
     income taxes have been provided.

                                                                     (Continued)

(14)   Earnings Per Share

       Effective December 31, 1997, the Company adopted SFAS 128, "Earnings Per
       Share" ("SFAS 128"). SFAS 128 supersedes APB Opinion No. 15, "Earnings
       Per Share," and specifies the computation, presentation and disclosure
       requirements for earnings per share ("EPS") for entities with publicly
       held stock or potential common stock. It also requires dual presentation
       of basic and diluted EPS on the face of the income statement for all
       entities with a complex capital structure and requires a reconciliation
       of the components of basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS excludes common
       stock equivalents and dilution and is computed by dividing income
       available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common
       shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS 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. Prior periods' EPS data presented have been restated. The
       computation of basic and diluted earnings per share is shown in the table
       below:

(15)   Employee Benefit Plans

       (a)    Pension Plans

              The Company maintains noncontributory defined benefit pension
              plans covering substantially all employees and the members of its
              Board of Directors. Retirement benefits are based on certain
              compensation levels, age and length of service. Contributions are
              based on an actuarially determined amount to fund not only
              benefits attributed to service to date but also for those expected
              to be earned in the future. In addition, the Company has an
              unfunded Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (SERP) to
              compensate those executive participants eligible for the Company's
              defined benefit pension plan whose benefits are limited by section
              415 of the Code of the Internal Revenue Service.

              The Company also sponsors a retirement savings plan in which
              substantially all employees participate. The Company provides a
              matching contribution of 50% of each employee's contribution to a
              maximum of 6% of the employee's compensation.

              Total expense for all retirement plans, including defined benefit
              pension plans, was approximately $1,895,000, $1,872,000 and
              $1,644,000 for the years ended June 30, 1999, 1998 and 1997,
              respectively. Net periodic pension cost for the Company's defined
              benefit pension plans consist of the following:

       would increase by $110,447.

(c)    Employee Stock Ownership Plan

       The Company has established a leveraged employee stock ownership plan
       (ESOP) for employees who have attained age 21 and who have completed a
       12-month period of employment with the Company during which they worked
       at least 1,000 hours. The Company makes annual contributions to the ESOP
       equal to the ESOP's debt service less the dividends received on unearned
       ESOP shares. The ESOP shares are pledged as collateral for its debt. As
       the debt is repaid, shares are released from collateral and become
       eligible for allocation to employee accounts. Actual ESOP share
       allocations to employee accounts are based on each employee's relative
       portion of the Company's total eligible compensation recorded during the
       year shares are earned.

       The Company accounts for its ESOP in accordance with AICPA Statement of
       Position 93-6. Accordingly, the debt of the ESOP is recorded as debt and
       the shares pledged as collateral are reported as unearned ESOP shares in
       the Company's consolidated statement of financial condition. As shares
       are earned, the Company reports compensation expense equal to the current
       market price of the shares, and the shares become outstanding for
       earnings-per-share computations. Dividends on allocated ESOP shares are
       recorded as a reduction of retained

                                                                     (Continued)

(d)    Recognition and Retention Plan

       On November 21, 1995, the Company established a Recognition and Retention
       Plan for Employees and Outside Directors (RRP). The objective of the RRP
       is to enable the Company to provide directors, officers and employees
       with a proprietary interest in the Company as an incentive to contribute
       to its success. The number of common shares issued and granted under the
       RRP was 552,000 (total market value of $3,243,000 at issuance date).
       Shares of common stock granted pursuant to the RRP are in the form of
       restricted stock and generally are payable over a five-year period at the
       rate of 20% per year, commencing on the date of the award grant.
       Compensation expense, in the amount of the fair market value of the
       common stock at the date of the grant, will be recognized pro rata over
       the five years during which the shares are payable. A recipient will be
       entitled to all voting and other shareholder rights, except that the
       shares, while restricted, may not be sold, pledged or otherwise disposed
       of and are required to be held in a trust.

                                                                     (Continued)

(e)    Stock Option Plan

       On November 21, 1995, the Company adopted the 1995 Stock Option Plan. The
       objective of the Stock Option Plan is to provide an additional
       performance incentive to the Company's employees and outside directors.
       The Stock Option Plan authorized the grant of stock options and limited
       stock appreciation rights for 1,380,000 shares of the Company's common
       stock. On December 20, 1995, the Company granted 242,000 nonstatutory
       stock options to its outside directors at an exercise price of $5.58 per
       share (95% of the Company's common stock fair market value per share at
       grant date) and 923,200 incentive stock options to employees at an
       exercise price of $5.875 per share. On March 22, 1996, the Company
       granted 122,800 incentive stock options to employees at an exercise price
       of $5.625 per share. On December 16, 1998, the Company granted 15,086
       incentive stock options to employees at an exercise price of $9.875 per
       share. These options are exercisable for a period of ten years from the
       grant date with each recipient vesting at the rate of 20% per year
       commencing with the grant date. The remaining 76,914 options are to be
       granted to employees as incentive stock options at an exercise price
       equal to the Company's common stock fair value per share at grant date.

       The following table summarizes the activity in the Company's Option Plan
       during the periods ending June 30:

     The Company applies APB Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations in
     accounting for its plans. Had compensation costs for the Stock Option Plan
     been determined consistent with the fair value method of SFAS 123,
     "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," which permits entities to
     expense an estimated fair value of employee stock options granted, the
     Company's net income and earnings per share would have been reduced to the

     The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using
     the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average
     assumptions: dividend yield of 2.76 percent for all years; expected
     volatility of 12.83 percent; risk-free interest rate of 5.65%; and expected
     lives of seven years. The effects of applying SFAS No. 123 may not be
     representative of the effects on reported net income in future years.

(16)   Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments

       SFAS No. 107, "Disclosure about Fair Value of Financial Instruments"
       (SFAS 107), requires disclosure of fair value information about financial
       instruments whether or not recognized in the consolidated statement of
       financial condition. SFAS 107 excludes certain financial instruments and
       all nonfinancial instruments from its disclosure requirements.
       Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented do not represent
       the underlying value of the Company. The carrying amounts reported in the
       consolidated statement of financial condition approximate fair value for
       the following financial instruments: cash on hand and interest-earning
       deposits in other institutions, accrued interest receivable, demand
       deposits, accrued interest payable, marketable securities
       available-for-sale, trading securities, variable rate borrowings and
       investor notes payable.

       The carrying value of marketable securities held-to-maturity exceeded
       market value by $3,513,000 and $445,000 at June 30, 1999 and 1998,
       respectively. Estimated market values are based on quoted market prices,
       dealer quotes and prices obtained from independent pricing services.
       Refer to note 4 of the consolidated financial statements for the detail
       of type of investment products.

       The net carrying value of loans exceeded the net market value at June 30,
       1999, by approximately $15,033,000 while at June 30, 1998, the net market
       value of loans exceeded the net carrying value by $29,016,000. Loans with
       comparable characteristics including collateral and repricing structures
       were segregated for valuation purposes. Each loan pool was separately
       valued utilizing a discounted cash flow analysis. Projected monthly cash
       flows were discounted to present value using a market rate for comparable
       loans. Characteristics of comparable loans included remaining term,
       coupon interest and estimated prepayment speeds. Delinquent loans were
       evaluated separately given the impact delinquency has on the projected
       future cash flow of the loan and the approximate discount or market rate.

       The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of deposits at June 30,
       1999 and 1998, are as follows:

       The carrying amounts of NOW, MMDA and savings accounts approximate their
       fair values. The fair value estimates above do not include the benefit
       that results from the low-cost funding provided by the deposit
       liabilities compared to the cost of borrowing funds in the market. Fair
       values for time deposits are estimated using a discounted cash flow
       calculation that applies contractual cost currently being offered in the
       existing portfolio to current market rates being offered locally for
       deposits of similar remaining maturities. The valuation adjustment for
       the portfolio consists of the present value of the difference of these
       two cash flows, discounted at the assumed market rate of the
       corresponding maturity.

       The estimated fair value of borrowed funds exceeded the carrying amounts
       at June 30, 1999 and 1998, by $3,320,000 and $2,109,000, respectively.
       Variable rate borrowings and investor notes payable were estimated to
       approximate their carrying amounts. The fixed rate advances were valued
       by comparing their contractual cost to the prevailing market cost.


(17)   Regulatory Capital Requirements

       The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to various regulatory
       capital requirements administered by the federal and state banking
       agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate
       certain mandatory - and possibly additional discretionary - actions by
       the regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect
       on the Company's financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines
       and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, specific
       capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of assets,
       liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under
       regulatory accounting practices must be met. The capital amounts and
       classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the
       regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors.

       Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital
       adequacy require the Company and its subsidiaries to maintain minimum
       amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of total and Tier I
       capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as
       defined), and of Tier I capital to average assets (as defined). As of
       June 30, 1999, the Company and its subsidiaries exceed all capital
       adequacy requirements to which they are subject.

       As of March 31, 1999, the most recent notification from the FDIC
       categorized Northwest and Jamestown as "well capitalized" under the
       regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as
       "well capitalized," the banks must maintain minimum total risk-based,
       Tier 1 risk-based and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the table.
       There are no conditions or events since that notification that management
       believes have changed the banks' categories.

                                                                     (Continued)

   (*)  The FDIC has indicated that the most highly rated institutions which
        meet certain criteria will be required to maintain a ratio of 3%, and
        all other institutions will be required to maintain an additional
          capital cushion of 100 to 200 basis points. As of June 30, 1999, the
          Company had not been advised of any additional requirements in this
          regard.


(18) Recapitalization of SAIF

     On September 30, 1996, Congress enacted into law a one-time special
     assessment to recapitalize the FDIC's Savings Association Insurance Fund
     (SAIF). All institutions holding SAIF insured deposits as of March 31,
     1995, paid a one-time assessment due November 27, 1996, of .657% on those
     deposits. The Company's SAIF assessment was $8.6 million. Under generally
     accepted accounting principles, this assessment was required to be accrued
     as of September 30, 1996. The effect of this assessment on the net income
     of the Company for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997, was $5.1 million
     after tax. As a result of the recapitalization of the SAIF, the Company was
     not required to pay a regular deposit insurance premium for the three
     months ended December 31, 1996. Effective January 1, 1997, as a result of
     the SAIF now being fully funded, the premium the Company pays for deposit
     insurance fell to .064% of insured deposits from the previous level of
     .23%.

(19) Contingent Liabilities

     Northwest Savings Bank and Northwest Bancorp MHC, along with unrelated
     parties, have been named as defendants in a class action lawsuit filed in
     the Allegheny County Court of Common Pleas. This lawsuit is brought on
     behalf of purchasers of common stock in the Bank's initial public offering
     which was completed in November 1994. It alleges that the defendants
     breached their contractual obligations and fiduciary duties by carrying out
     the offering at a price that allegedly was not justified by market and
     financial conditions. The defendants previously obtained the dismissal of a
     lawsuit brought by the same counsel in federal court making similar
     allegations under federal law. Management intends to continue to vigorously
     defend against any such proceedings. The ultimate outcome of this
     litigation cannot presently be determined; accordingly, no provision for
     liability, if any, that may result has been recorded in the consolidated
     financial statements.

     The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to a number of other asserted
     and unasserted claims encountered in the normal course of business.
     Management believes that the aggregate liability, if any, resulting from
     such pending and threatened actions and proceedings will not have a
     material adverse effect on the Company's financial statements.

                                                                     (Continued)

(23)  Segment Reporting

      In the current fiscal year the Company adopted SFAS 131 "Disclosure about
      Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information", which requires
      disclosures about reportable segments of an enterprise. The determination
      of these segments is based upon the manner in which the decision makers of
      an enterprise evaluates its financial information.

      Northwest Bancorp, Inc., through its wholly owned subsidiaries Northwest
      Savings Bank and Jamestown Savings Bank, and affiliated companies performs
      traditional banking services. These financial services include making
      loans to individuals and businesses, offering an array of deposit products
      and investing in marketable securities. The retail network of offices is
      located throughout northwestern, southwestern and central Pennsylvania as
      well as southwestern New York and eastern Ohio. These market areas all
      possess similar characteristics. The operating results of the Company as a
      single entity are used by management in making operating decisions.
      Therefore, the consolidated financial statements, as presented, represent
      the results of a single financial services segment.
