Business - ----------------- BUSINESS OF THE COMPANY On July 13, 1994, the Registrant, TF Financial Corporation (the "Company") consummated its public offering for 5,290,000 shares of its common stock and acquired Third Federal Savings Bank (the "Savings Bank" or "Third Federal") as part of the Savings Bank's conversion from a mutual to a stock 1 federally chartered savings bank. The Registrant was incorporated under Delaware law in March 1994. The Registrant is a savings and loan holding company and is subject to regulation by the Office of Thrift Supervision (the "OTS"), the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC") and the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Currently, the Registrant does not transact any material business other than through its subsidiaries, the Savings Bank, TF Investments Corporation, Teragon, Inc. and Penns Trail Development Corporation. Teragon, Inc. was incorporated in May 1997 for the purpose of pursuing mortgage banking activities. At December 31, 1997, the Company had total assets of $597.0 million, total deposits of $450.4 million and stockholders' equity of $50.1 million. On August 19, 1994, the Board of Directors approved the change in the Company's fiscal year from June 30 to December 31. BUSINESS OF THE SAVINGS BANK Third Federal, originally organized in 1921 as a Pennsylvania-chartered building and loan association, converted to a federally chartered mutual savings and loan association in 1935. The Savings Bank's deposits are insured up to the maximum amount allowable by the FDIC. The Savings Bank is a community oriented savings institution offering a variety of financial services to meet the needs of the community it serves. The Savings Bank significantly expanded its operations throughout Philadelphia and Bucks Counties, Pennsylvania in June 1992 through its acquisition of Doylestown Federal Savings and Loan Association ("Doylestown"). On September 20, 1996, Third Federal acquired three branch offices, certain assets and $143 million of deposits from Cenlar Federal Savings Bank, Trenton, New Jersey ("Cenlar"). As a result of the Cenlar acquisition, Third Federal currently operates eleven branch offices in Bucks and Philadelphia counties, Pennsylvania and three branch offices in Mercer County, New Jersey. This acquisition was consistent with the Savings Bank's strategic goal of growing its market share within its market area and reaching into adjacent market areas, through low-cost, fill-in or market-extension acquisitions. The Savings Bank attracts deposits from the general public and uses such deposits, together with borrowings and other funds primarily to originate or purchase loans secured by first mortgages on owner-occupied, one- to four-family residences in its market area and to invest in mortgage-backed and investment securities. At December 31, 1997, one- to four-family residential mortgage loans totaled $198.3 million or 78.4% of the Savings Bank's total loan portfolio. At that same date, the Savings Bank had approximately $180.9 million or 30.3% of total assets invested in mortgage-backed securities and $84.9 million or 14.2% of total assets in investment securities. To a lesser extent, the Savings Bank also originates commercial real estate and multi-family, construction and consumer loans. Market Area Third Federal operates five offices in Philadelphia County and six offices in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. These two counties cover the city of Philadelphia and the northeast suburbs of Philadelphia. The population of these two counties total over 2.1 million. The Savings Bank also operates three branch offices in Mercer County, New Jersey. The population of Bucks and Mercer Counties, have experienced distinctly different economic and demographic trends over recent decades. Whereas Philadelphia County has experienced a population decline and has offered very limited lending opportunities, Bucks and Mercer Counties, with growing populations, have offered Third Federal much greater lending opportunities. 2 Competition Third Federal faces varying degrees of competition from local thrifts and credit unions at its various branch locations. Stronger competition has come from local and much larger regional banks based in and around the Philadelphia area. Commercial banks hold approximately 80% of the deposit market in Philadelphia County, 68% in Bucks County and 66% in Mercer County. Third Federal's share of the deposit market in Philadelphia, Bucks and Mercer Counties is very small, at 0.83%, 2.2% and 1.87%, respectively. Lending Activities General. The Savings Bank's loan portfolio composition consists primarily of conventional adjustable-rate ("ARM") and fixed-rate first mortgage loans secured by one- to four-family residences. The Savings Bank also makes commercial real estate and multi-family loans, construction loans and consumer and other loans. At December 31, 1997, the Savings Bank's mortgage loans outstanding were $230.0 million, of which $198.3 million were one- to four-family residential mortgage loans. Of the one- to four-family residential mortgage loans outstanding at that date, 33.0% were ARM's and 67.0% were fixed-rate loans. Total ARM mortgage loans in the Savings Bank's portfolio at December 31, 1997, amounted to $84.7 million or 36.8% of total mortgage loans. At that same date, commercial real estate and multi-family residential and construction loans totaled $26.7 million and $5.1 million, respectively. Consumer and other loans held by the Savings Bank totaled $22.8 million or 9.1% of total loans outstanding at December 31, 1997, of which $12.1 million or 53.2% consisted of home equity and second mortgages. At that same date commercial business loans, leases and other loans totaled $2.8 million, $1.7 million and $6.2 million, respectively. 3 The following table sets forth the composition of the Savings Bank's loan portfolio and mortgage-backed and related securities portfolios in dollar amounts and in percentages of the respective portfolios at the dates indicated.

The Savings Bank offers first mortgage loans secured by one- to four-family residences in the Savings Bank's lending area. Typically, such residences are single-family homes that serve as the primary residence of the owner. The Savings Bank generally originates and invests in one- to four-family residential mortgage loans in amounts up to 80% of the lesser of the appraised value or selling price of the mortgaged property. Loans originated in amounts over 80% of the lesser of the appraised value or selling price of the mortgaged property, other than loans to facilitate the sale of real estate acquired through foreclosure, must be owner-occupied and private mortgage insurance must be provided on the amount in excess of 80%. Loan originations are generally obtained from existing or past customers, members of the local community, and referrals from established builders and realtors within the Savings Bank's lending area. Mortgage loans originated and held by the Savings Bank in its portfolio generally include due-on sale clauses which provide the Savings Bank with the contractual right to deem the loan immediately due and payable in the event that the borrower transfers ownership of the property without the Savings Bank's consent. At December 31, 1997, 86.2% of mortgage loans consisted of one- to four-family residential loans, of which 33.0% were ARM loans. The Savings Bank has historically not originated a large amount of ARM loans. The Savings Bank offers a variety of ARM loans with terms of 30 years which adjust at the end of 6 months, one, three, five, seven and ten years and adjust by a maximum of 1 to 2 % per adjustment with a lifetime cap of 5 to 6% over the life of the loan. The ARM loans acquired as a result of the Doylestown merger adjust at the end of one or three years and adjust by a maximum of 2.00% per adjustment with a lifetime cap of 5.00% over the life of the loan The Savings Bank offers fixed-rate mortgage loans with terms of 10 to 30 years, which are payable monthly. The Savings Bank has continued its emphasis on fixed-rate mortgage loans with terms of 15 years or less. Interest rates charged on fixed-rate mortgage loans are competitively priced based on market conditions and the Savings Bank's cost of funds. The origination fees for fixed-rate loans were generally 3.0% at December 31, 1997. Generally, the Savings Bank's standard underwriting guideline for fixed-rate mortgage loans conform to the FHLMC and FNMA guidelines and may be sold in the secondary market. The Savings Bank has in the past sold a portion of its conforming fixed-rate mortgage loans in the secondary market to federal agencies while retaining the servicing rights on certain loans. 7 The Savings Bank, however, is primarily a portfolio lender. As of December 31, 1997, the Savings Bank's portfolio of loans serviced for others totaled approximately $26.4 million. Commercial Real Estate and Multi-Family Loans. The Savings Bank has historically originated a limited number of loans secured by commercial real estate including non-owner occupied residential multi-family dwelling units (more than four units) primarily secured by professional office buildings and apartment complexes. The Savings Bank generally originates commercial real estate and multi-family loans up to 75% of the appraised value of the property securing the loan. Currently, it is the Savings Bank's philosophy to originate commercial real estate and multi-family loans only to borrowers known to the Savings Bank and on properties in its market area. The commercial real estate and multi-family loans in the Savings Bank's portfolio consist of fixed-rate, ARM and balloon loans which were originated at prevailing market rates for terms of up to 20 years. The Savings Bank's current policy is to originate commercial real estate and multi-family loans as ARM's that are generally amortized over a period of 15 years or as balloon loans which generally have terms of 5 to 10 years, with 20-25 year amortizations. Loans secured by commercial and multi-family real estate are generally larger and involve a greater degree of risk than one- to four-family residential mortgage loans. Of primary concern in commercial and multi-family real estate lending is the borrower's creditworthiness and the feasibility and cash flow potential of the project. Loans secured by income properties are generally larger and involve greater risks than residential mortgage loans because payments on loans secured by income properties are often dependent on successful operation or management of the properties. As a result, repayment of such loans may be subject to a greater extent than residential real estate loans to adverse conditions in the real estate market or the economy. In order to monitor cash flows on income properties, the Savings Bank requires borrowers and loan guarantors, if any, to provide annual financial statements and rent rolls on multi-family loans. At December 31, 1997, the five largest commercial real estate and multi-family loans totaled $8.4 million with no single loan larger than $2.1 million. At December 31, 1997, all such loans were current and the properties securing such loans are in the Savings Bank's market area. Construction Loans. At December 31, 1997, the Savings Bank had $5.1 million of construction loans or 2.0% of the Savings Bank's total loan portfolio. Construction financing is generally considered to involve a higher degree of risk of loss than long-term financing on improved, occupied real estate. Risk of loss on a construction loan is dependent largely upon the accuracy of the initial estimate of the property's value at completion of construction or development and the estimated cost (including interest) of construction. During the construction phase, a number of factors could result in delays and cost overruns. If the estimate of construction costs proves to be inaccurate, the Savings Bank may be required to advance funds beyond the amount originally committed to permit completion of the development. If the estimate of value proves to be inaccurate, the Savings Bank may be confronted, at or prior to the maturity of the loan, with a project having a value which is insufficient to assure full repayment. Consumer and Other Loans. The Savings Bank also offers consumer and other loans in the form of home equity and second mortgage loans (referred to hereinafter collectively as "second mortgage loans"), commercial business loans, automobile loans and student loans. These loans totaled $22.8 million or 9.1% of the Savings Bank's total loan portfolio at December 31, 1997. Federal regulations permit federally chartered thrift institutions to make secured and unsecured consumer loans up to 35% of an institution's assets. In addition, a federal thrift has lending authority above the 35% category for 8 certain consumer loans, property improvement loans, and loans secured by savings accounts. The Savings Bank originates consumer loans in order to provide a wide range of financial services to its customers and because the shorter terms and normally higher interest rates on such loans help maintain a profitable spread between its average loan yield and its cost of funds. In connection with consumer loan applications, the Savings Bank verifies the borrower's income and reviews a credit bureau report. In addition, the relationship of the loan to the value of the collateral is considered. All automobile loan applications are reviewed and approved by the Savings Bank. The Savings Bank reviews the credit report of the borrower as well as the value of the unit which secures the loan. The Savings Bank intends to continue to emphasize the origination of consumer loans. Consumer loans tend to be originated at higher interest rates than conventional residential mortgage loans and for shorter terms which benefits the Savings Bank's interest rate gap management. Consumer loans, however, tend to have a higher risk of default than residential mortgage loans. At December 31, 1997, the Savings Bank had $541,034 in consumer loans delinquent more than 90 days. Federal thrift institutions are permitted to make secured or unsecured loans for commercial, corporate, business or agricultural purposes, including the issuance of letters of credit secured by real estate, business equipment, inventories, accounts receivable and cash equivalents. The aggregate amount of such loans outstanding may not exceed 10% of such institution's assets. The Savings Bank offers second mortgage loans on one- to four-family residences. At December 31, 1997, second mortgage and home equity loans totaled $12.1 million, or 4.9% of the Savings Bank's total loan portfolio. Second mortgage loans are offered as fixed-rate loans for a term not to exceed 15 years. Such loans are only made on owner-occupied one- to four-family residences and are subject to a 75% combined loan to value ratio. The underwriting standards for second mortgage loans are the same as the Savings Bank's standards applicable to one- to four-family residential loans. The Savings Bank makes commercial business loans on a secured basis and generally requires additional collateral consisting of real estate. The terms of such loans generally do not exceed five years. The majority of these loans have floating interest rates which adjust with changes in market driven indices. The Savings Bank's commercial business loans primarily consist of short-term loans for equipment, working capital, business expansion and inventory financing. The Savings Bank customarily requires a personal guaranty of payment by the principals of any borrowing entity and reviews the financial statements and income tax returns of the guarantors. At December 31, 1997, the Savings Bank had approximately $2.8 million outstanding in commercial business loans, which represented approximately 1.1% of its total loan portfolio. Loan Approval Authority and Underwriting. All loans must be approved by either two or more loan officers specifically designated by the Board of Directors or by the Board of Directors, depending on the amount and type of loan. Any two designated underwriters may approve loans on one- to four-family residences, not to exceed FHLMC and FNMA conforming single-family limits, which at December 31, 1997, was $227,150 or consumer loans up to $100,000 providing the loan meets all of the Savings Bank's underwriting guidelines for consumer loans. All other loans up to $500,000 must be approved by the Loan Committee. All loans that exceed $500,000 must be submitted to the Board of Directors for approval. One- to four-family residential mortgage loans are generally underwritten according to FHLMC and FNMA guidelines. For all loans originated by the Savings Bank, upon receipt of a completed loan application from a prospective borrower, a credit report is ordered, income and certain other information 9 is verified and, if necessary, additional financial information is requested. An appraisal of the real estate intended to secure the proposed loan is required which currently is performed by an independent appraiser designated and approved by the Savings Bank. The Savings Bank makes construction/permanent loans on individual properties. Funds advanced during the construction phase are held in a loan-in-process account and disbursed based upon various stages of completion. The independent appraiser or loan officer determines the stage of completion based upon its physical inspection of the construction. It is the Savings Bank's policy to obtain title insurance or a title opinion on all real estate first mortgage loans. Borrowers must also obtain hazard or flood insurance (for loans on property located in a flood zone) prior to closing the loan. For loans in excess of 80% of the loan to value ratio, borrowers are generally required to advance funds on a monthly basis together with each payment of principal and interest to an escrow account from which the Savings Bank makes disbursements for items such as real estate taxes and hazard insurance premiums. Loans to one Borrower. Current regulations limit loans to one borrower in an amount equal to 15% of unimpaired capital and retained income on an unsecured basis and an additional amount equal to 10% of unimpaired capital and retained income if the loan is secured by readily marketable collateral (generally, financial instruments, not real estate) or $500,000, whichever is higher. Penalties for violations of the loan-to-one borrower statutory and regulatory restrictions include cease and desist orders, the imposition of a supervisory agreement and civil money penalties. The Savings Bank's maximum loan- to-one borrower limit was approximately $6.7 million as of December 31, 1997. At December 31, 1997, the Savings Bank's five largest aggregate lending relationships had balances ranging from $2.1 to $6.2 million. At December 31, 1997, all of these loans were current. Mortgage-Backed Securities To supplement lending activities, Third Federal invests in residential mortgage-backed securities. Although the majority of such securities are held to maturity, they can serve as collateral for borrowings and, through repayments, as a source of liquidity. The mortgage-backed securities portfolio as of December 31, 1997, consisted primarily of fixed-rate certificates issued by the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("FHLMC") ($95.7 million), Government National Mortgage Association ("GNMA"), ($7.4 million) Federal National Mortgage Association ("FNMA") ($30.8 million), real estate investment mortgage conduit ("REMICs") ($46.2 million), and other mortgage-backed securities ($.8 million). At December 31, 1997, the carrying value of mortgage-backed securities totaled $180.9 million, or 30.3% of total assets. The market value of such securities totaled approximately $182.6 million at December 31, 1997. Mortgage-backed securities represent a participation interest in a pool of single-family or multi-family mortgages, the principal and interest payments on which are passed from the mortgage originators, through intermediaries (generally quasi-governmental agencies) that pool and repackage the participation interests in the form of securities, to investors such as the Savings Bank. Such quasi-governmental agencies, which guarantee the payment of principal and interest to investors, primarily include FHLMC, FNMA and GNMA. FHLMC issues participation certificates backed principally by conventional mortgage loans. FHLMC guarantees the timely payment of interest and the ultimate return of principal within one year. FHLMC securities are indirect obligations of the United States Government. FNMA is a private corporation chartered by Congress with a mandate to establish a secondary market for conventional 10 mortgage loans. FNMA guarantees the timely payment of principal and interest, and FNMA securities are indirect obligations of the United States Government. GNMA is a government agency within the Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD") which is intended to help finance government assisted housing programs. GNMA guarantees the timely payment of principal and interest, and GNMA securities are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States Government. Since FHLMC, FNMA and GNMA were established to provide support for low- and middle-income housing, there are limits to the maximum size of loans that qualify for these programs. Currently, GNMA limits its maximum loan size to $144,000 for Veterans Administration ("VA") loans and on average $137,750 for Federal Housing Authority ("FHA") loans. FNMA and FHLMC limit their loans to $214,600. To accommodate larger-sized loans, and loans that, for other reasons, do not conform to the agency programs, a number of private institutions have established their own home-loan origination and securitization programs. Mortgage-backed securities typically are issued with stated principal amounts, and the securities are backed by pools of mortgages that have loans with interest rates that are within a range and have varying maturities. The underlying pool of mortgages are primarily composed of either fixed-rate mortgages or adjustable-rate mortgage ("ARM") loans. Mortgage-backed securities are generally referred to as mortgage participation certificates or pass-through certificates. As a result, the interest rate risk characteristics of the underlying pool of mortgages, i.e., fixed-rate or adjustable-rate, as well as prepayment risk, are passed on to the certificate holder. The life of a mortgage-backed pass-through security is equal to the life of the underlying mortgages. Mortgage-backed securities issued by FHLMC, FNMA and GNMA make up a majority of the pass-through market. CMOs and REMICs are typically issued by a special-purpose entity (the "issuer"), which may be organized in a variety of legal forms, such as a trust, a corporation, or a partnership. The entity aggregates pools of pass-through securities, which are used to collateralize the mortgage related securities. Once combined, the cash flows can be divided into "tranches" or "classes" of individual securities, thereby creating more predictable average durations for each security than the underlying pass-through pools. Accordingly, under this security they structure all principal pay downs from the various mortgage pools are allocated to a mortgage-related class or classes structured to have priority until it has been paid off. Thus these securities are intended to address the reinvestment concerns associated with mortgage-backed securities pass-through, namely that (i) they tend to pay off when interest rates fall, thereby taking their relatively high coupon with them, and (ii) their expected average life may vary significantly among the different tranches. Some CMO and REMIC instruments are most like traditional debt instruments because they have stated principal amounts and traditionally defined interest-rate terms. Purchasers of certain other CMO and REMIC instruments are entitled to the excess, if any, of the issuer's cash inflows, including reinvestment earnings, over the cash outflows for debt service and administrative expenses. These mortgage related instruments may include instruments designated as residual interests, and are riskier in that they could result in the loss of a portion of the original investment. Cash flows from residual interests are very sensitive to prepayments and, thus, contain a high degree of interest-rate risk. Residual interests represent an ownership interest in the underlying collateral, subject to the first lien of the CMO and REMICs investors. The CMOs and REMICs held by the Savings Bank at December 31, 1997, consisted solely of fixed-rate notes and adjustable-rate notes with contractual maturities ranging from 1 to 27 years. The portfolio of CMOs and REMICs held within the Savings Bank's mortgage-backed securities portfolio at December 31, 1997, did not include any residual interests. Further, at December 31, 1997, the Savings Bank's mortgage-backed securities portfolio did not include any "stripped" CMOs and REMICs, i.e. 11 CMOs and REMICs that pay interest only and do not repay principal or CMOs that repay principal only and do not pay interest. The following table sets forth the carrying value of the Savings Bank's mortgage-backed securities held in portfolio at the dates indicated.

Non-Performing and Problem Assets Loan Collection. When a borrower fails to make a required payment on a loan, the Savings Bank takes a number of steps to have the borrower cure the delinquency and restore the loan to current status. In the case of residential mortgage loans and consumer loans, the Savings Bank generally sends the borrower a written notice of non-payment after the loan is 15 days past due. In the event payment is not then received, additional letters and phone calls are made. If the loan is still not brought current 12 and it becomes necessary for the Savings Bank to take legal action, which typically occurs after a loan is delinquent 90 days or more, the Savings Bank will commence foreclosure proceedings against any real property that secures the loan and attempt to repossess any personal property that secures a consumer loan. If a foreclosure action is instituted and the loan is not brought current, paid in full, or refinanced before the foreclosure sale, the real property securing the loan generally is sold at foreclosure. In the case of commercial real estate and multi-family loans, and construction loans, the Savings Bank generally attempts to contact the borrower by telephone after any loan payment is ten days past due and a senior loan officer reviews all collection efforts made if payment is not received after the loan is 30 days past due. Decisions as to when to commence foreclosure actions for commercial real estate and multi-family loans and construction loans are made on a case by case basis. The Savings Bank may consider loan work-out arrangements with these types of borrowers in certain circumstances. On mortgage loans or loan participations purchased by the Savings Bank, the Savings Bank receives monthly reports from its loan servicers with which it monitors the loan portfolio. Based upon servicing agreements with the servicers of the loan, the Savings Bank relies upon the servicer to contact delinquent borrowers, collect delinquent amounts and to initiate foreclosure proceedings, when necessary, all in accordance with applicable laws, regulations and the terms of the servicing agreements between the Savings Bank and its servicing agents. Delinquent Loans. Generally, the Savings Bank reserves for uncollected interest on loans past due 90 days or more. Loans also are placed on a nonaccrual status when, in the judgment of management, the probability of collection of interest is deemed to be insufficient to warrant further collection. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, previously accrued but unpaid interest is deducted from interest income. 13 Non-Performing Assets. The following table sets forth information regarding non-accrual loans and real estate owned by the Savings Bank at the dates indicated. The Savings Bank had no loans contractually past due 90 days or more or for which accrued interest has been recorded. At December 31, 1997, the Savings Bank had no restructured loans within the meaning of SFAS No. 15.

- ---------------- (1) Other non-performing assets consists of Third Federal's investment in an administrative building. Such building was sold subsequent to December 31, 1993. At December 31, 1997, the Company had no foreign loans and no loan concentrations exceeding 10% of total loans not disclosed in above the table. "Loan concentrations" are considered to exist when there are amounts loaned to a multiple number of borrowers engaged in similar activities that would cause them to be similarly impacted by economic or other conditions. Loans recorded in the category of other real estate owned are valued at the lower of book value of loans outstanding or fair market value less cost of disposal. At December 31, 1997, the Company was not aware of any potential problem loans that are not otherwise included in the foregoing table. "Potential problem loans" are loans where information about possible credit problems of borrowers has caused management to have serious doubts about the borrowers' ability to comply with present repayment terms. Classified Assets. OTS regulations provide for a classification system for problem assets of insured institutions which covers all problem assets. Under this classification system, problem assets of insured institutions are classified as "substandard," "doubtful," or "loss." 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 insured 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" and of such little value that their continuance as assets without the establishment of a specific loss reserve is not warranted. Assets designated "special mention" 14 by management are assets included on the Savings Bank's internal watchlist because of potential weakness but that do not currently warrant classification in one of the aforementioned categories. When an insured institution classifies problem assets as either substandard or doubtful, it may establish general allowances for loan losses in an amount deemed prudent by management. General allowances represent loss allowances which 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 an insured institution classifies problem assets as "loss," it is required either to establish a specific allowance for losses equal to 100% of that portion of the asset so classified or to charge off such amount. An institution's determination as to the classification of its assets and the amount of its valuation allowances is subject to review by the OTS, which may order the establishment of additional general or specific loss allowances. A portion of general loss allowances established to cover possible losses related to assets classified as substandard or doubtful may be included in determining an institution's regulatory capital, while specific valuation allowances for loan losses generally do not qualify as regulatory capital. The following table provides further information in regard to the Savings Bank's classified assets as of December 31, 1997. At December 31, 1997 ------------ (In thousands) Special mention assets.................... $ -- Substandard............................... 2,384 Doubtful assets........................... -- Loss ..................................... -- ------ Total classified assets................ $2,384 ====== - --------------------- (1) Substandard assets include approximately $1,002,000 of performing assets that are less than 90 days delinquent, that are classified for reasons other than delinquency. Real Estate Owned. Real estate acquired by the Savings Bank as a result of foreclosure, judgment or by deed in lieu of foreclosure is classified as real estate owned ("REO") until it is sold. When property is acquired it is recorded at the lower of fair value, minus estimated cost to sell, or cost. The Savings Bank records loans as in substance foreclosures if the borrower has little or no equity in the property based upon its documented current fair value and if the borrower has effectively abandoned control of the collateral or has continued to retain control of the collateral but because of the current financial status of the borrower it is doubtful the borrower will be able to repay the loan in the foreseeable future. In substance foreclosures are accounted for as loans until such time that title to the collateral is acquired by the Savings Bank. There may be significant other expenses incurred such as attorney and other extraordinary servicing costs involved with in substance foreclosures. Allowances for Loan Losses and Real Estate Acquired in Settlement of Loans. The Savings Bank provides valuation allowances for estimated losses from uncollectible loans and real estate acquired in settlement of loans. Management's periodic evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is based on loss experience, known and inherent risk in the portfolio, prevailing market conditions, and 15 management's judgment as to collectibility. The Savings Bank's determination as to the amount of its allowance for loan losses is subject to review of the federal regulatory agencies, the OTS and FDIC, which can order the establishment of additional general or specific loan loss reserves. The allowance for loan losses is increased by charges to earnings and decreased by charge-offs (net of recoveries). The Savings Bank provides valuation allowances for losses on real estate acquired in settlement of loans based on the lower of fair value, minus estimated cost to sell, or cost. 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 the general economy. Such evaluation, which includes a review of all loans on which full collectibility may not be reasonably assured, considers among other matters, the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral, economic conditions, historical loan loss experience and other factors that warrant recognition in providing for an adequate loan loss allowance. 16 The following table sets forth information with respect to the Savings Bank's allowance for loan losses at the dates and for the periods indicated:

In establishing its investment strategies, the Savings Bank considers its business and growth plans, the economic environment, the types of securities to be held and other factors. Federally chartered savings institutions have the authority to invest in various types of assets, including U.S. Treasury obligations, securities of various federal agencies, certain certificates of deposit of insured banks and savings institutions, certain bankers acceptances, repurchase agreements, loans on federal funds, and, subject to certain limits, commercial paper and mutual funds. 19 The following table sets forth certain information regarding the amortized cost and market values of the Savings Bank's investments at the dates indicated.

Such investments do not have a stated maturity and are considered in the one year or less category based on quarterly repricing of the investment.

Investment securities available-for-sale are carried at market value. 21 Sources of Funds General. Deposits, borrowings, loan repayments and cash flows generated from operations are the primary sources of the Savings Bank's funds for use in lending, investing and other general purposes. Deposits. The Savings Bank offers a variety of deposit accounts having a range of interest rates and terms. The Savings Bank's deposits consist of regular savings, non-interest bearing checking, NOW checking, money market, and certificate accounts. Of the deposit accounts, $32,497 million or 7.21% consist of IRA, Keogh or SEP retirement accounts at December 31, 1997. The flow of deposits is influenced significantly by general economic conditions, changes in money market and prevailing interest rates and competition. The Savings Bank's deposits are primarily obtained from areas surrounding its offices, and the Savings Bank relies primarily on customer service and long-standing relationships with customers to attract and retain these deposits. The Savings Bank has maintained a high level of core deposits consisting of regular savings, money market, non-interest-bearing checking, and NOW checking, which has contributed to a low cost-of-funds. At December 31, 1997, core deposits amounted to 56.04% of total deposits. 22 The following table sets forth the distribution of the Savings Bank's deposit accounts at the dates indicated and the weighted average nominal interest rates on each category of deposits presented. The Savings Bank does not have a significant amount of deposits from out-of state sources. Management does not believe that the use of year end balances instead of average balances resulted in any material difference in the information presented.

24 Borrowings Deposits are the primary source of funds of the Savings Bank's lending and investment activities and for its general business purposes. The Savings Bank may obtain advances from the FHLB of Pittsburgh to supplement its supply of lendable funds. Advances from the FHLB of Pittsburgh are typically secured by a pledge of the Savings Bank's stock in the FHLB of Pittsburgh and a portion of the Savings Bank's first mortgage loans and certain other assets. The Savings Bank, if the need arises, may also access the Federal Reserve Bank discount window to supplement its supply of lendable funds and to meet deposit withdrawal requirements. The following table sets forth the maximum month-end balance period and balance, and weighted average balance of outstanding FHLB advances at the dates and for the periods indicated, together with the applicable weighted average interest rates. At December 31, --------------------------------------- 1997 1996 1995 ---------- ---------- ----------- (Dollars in thousands) FHLB advances ................ $ 88,359 $ 98,359 $ 73,359 ========== ========== ========== Weighted average interest rate 6.03% 5.98% 6.07% Years Ended December 31, ------------------------------- 1997 1996 1995 -------- -------- ------- (Dollars in thousands) Maximum balance of FHLB advances outstanding ... $ 98,359 $ 98,359 $73,359 ======== ======== ======= Weighted average balance of FHLB advances outstanding .... $ 97,837 $ 89,343 $16,171 ======== ======== ======= Weighted average interest rate of FHLB advances ............. 6.0% 5.99% 6.22% ======== ======== ======= Subsidiary Activity Third Federal is permitted to invest up to 2% of its assets in the capital stock of, or secured or unsecured loans to, subsidiary corporations, with an additional investment of 1% of assets when such additional investment is utilized primarily for community development purposes. Under such limitations, as of December 31, 1997, Third Federal was authorized to invest up to approximately $12.0 million in the stock of, or loans to, service corporations (based upon the 2% limitation). At December 31, 1997, the Savings Bank had no active subsidiaries. 25 Personnel As of December 31, 1997, the Savings Bank had 144 full-time and 17 part-time employees. None of the Savings Bank's employees are represented by a collective bargaining group. The Savings Bank believes that its relationship with its employees is good.

The remaining information relating to Directors and Executive Officers of the Registrant is incorporated herein by reference to the Registrant's Proxy Statement for the 1998 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. REGULATION Set forth below is a brief description of all material laws and regulations which relate to the regulation of the Savings Bank and the Company. The description does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to applicable laws and regulations. Company Regulation General. The Company is a unitary savings and loan holding company subject to regulatory oversight by the OTS. As such, the Company is required to register and file reports with the OTS and is subject to regulation and examination by the OTS. In addition, the OTS has enforcement authority over the Company and its non-savings association subsidiaries, should such subsidiaries be formed, which also permits the OTS to restrict or prohibit activities that are determined to be a serious risk to the subsidiary savings association. This regulation and oversight is intended primarily for the protection of the depositors of the Savings Bank and not for the benefit of stockholders of the Company. The 26 Company is also required to file certain reports with, and otherwise comply with, the rules and regulations of the OTS and the SEC. QTL Test. As a unitary savings and loan holding company, the Company generally is not subject to activity restrictions, provided the Savings Bank satisfies the QTL test. If the Company acquires control of another savings association as a separate subsidiary, it would become a multiple savings and loan holding company, and the activities of the Company and any of its subsidiaries (other than the Savings Bank or any other SAIF-insured savings association) would become subject to restrictions applicable to bank holding companies unless such other associations each also qualify as a QTL and were acquired in a supervisory acquisition. Savings Bank Regulation General. As a federally chartered, SAIF-insured savings association, the Savings Bank is subject to extensive regulation by the OTS and the FDIC. Lending activities and other investments must comply with various federal statutory and regulatory requirements. The Savings Bank is also subject to certain reserve requirements promulgated by the Federal Reserve Board. The OTS, in conjunction with the FDIC, regularly examines the Savings Bank and prepares reports for the consideration of the Savings Bank's Board of Directors on any deficiencies that they find in the Savings Bank's operations. The Savings Bank's relationship with its depositors and borrowers is also regulated to a great extent by federal law, especially in such matters as the ownership of savings accounts and the form and content of the Savings Bank's mortgage documents. The Savings Bank must file reports with the OTS and the FDIC concerning its activities and financial condition, in addition to obtaining regulatory approvals prior to entering into certain transactions such as mergers with or acquisitions of other savings institutions. This regulation and supervision establishes a comprehensive framework of activities in which an institution can engage and is intended primarily for the protection of the SAIF and depositors. The regulatory structure also gives the regulatory authorities extensive discretion in connection with their supervisory and enforcement activities and examination policies, including policies with respect to the classification of assets and the establishment of adequate loan loss reserves for regulatory purposes. Any change in such regulations, whether by the OTS, the FDIC or the Congress could have a material adverse impact on the Company, the Savings Bank and their operations. The Company is also required to file certain reports with, and otherwise comply with, the rules and regulations of the OTS and the SEC. Insurance of Deposit Accounts. The Savings Bank's deposit accounts are insured by the SAIF to a maximum of $100,000 for each insured member (as defined by law and regulation). The FDIC has the authority, should it initiate proceedings to terminate an institution's deposit insurance, to suspend the insurance of any such institution without tangible capital. However, if a savings association has positive capital when it includes qualifying intangible assets, the FDIC cannot suspend deposit insurance unless capital declines materially, the institution fails to enter into and remain in compliance with an approved capital plan or the institution is operating in an unsafe or unsound manner. Regardless of an institution's capital level, insurance of deposits may be terminated by the FDIC upon a finding that the institution has engaged in unsafe or unsound practices, is in an unsafe or unsound condition to continue operations or has violated any applicable law, regulation, rule, order or condition imposed by the FDIC or the institution's primary regulator. The management of the Savings Bank is unaware of any practice, condition or violation that might lead to termination of its deposit insurance. 27 The FDIC charges an annual assessment for the insurance of deposits based on the risk a particular institution poses to its deposit insurance fund. This risk classification is based on an institution's capital group and supervisory subgroup assignment. Regulatory Capital Requirements. OTS capital regulations require savings institutions to meet three capital standards: (1) tangible capital equal to 1.5% of total adjusted assets, (2) a leverage ratio (core capital) equal to at least 3% of total adjusted assets and (3) a risk-based capital requirement equal to 8.0% of total risk-weighted assets. The following table sets forth the Savings Bank's compliance with its regulatory capital requirements as of December 31, 1997: Amount Percent ------ ------- (Dollars in thousands) Tangible capital.......................... $ 42,544 7.16% Tangible capital requirement.............. 8,902 1.50 -------- ----- Excess over requirement................... $ 33,642 5.66% ======== ===== Core Capital.............................. $ 42,544 7.16% Core Capital requirement.................. 17,804 3.00 -------- ----- Excess over requirement................... $ 24,740 4.16% ======== ===== Risk-based capital........................ $ 44,573 17.41% Risk-based capital requirement............ 20,487 8.00 -------- ----- Excess over requirement................... $ 24,086 9.41% ======== ===== Dividend and Other Capital Distribution Limitations. OTS regulations require the Savings Bank to give the OTS 30 days' advance notice of any proposed declaration of dividends to the Company, and the OTS has the authority under its supervisory powers to prohibit the payment of dividends to the Company. In addition, the Savings Bank may not declare or pay a cash dividend on its capital stock if the effect thereof would be to reduce the regulatory capital of the Savings Bank below the amount required for the liquidation account to be established pursuant to the Savings Bank's Plan of Conversion. In January 1998, the OTS proposed amendments to its current regulations with respect to capital distributions by savings associations. Under the proposed regulation, savings associations that would remain at least adequately capitalized following the capital distribution, and that meet other specified requirements, would not be required to file a notice or application for capital distributions (such as cash dividends) declared below specified amounts. Under the proposed regulation, savings associations which are eligible for expedited treatment under current OTS regulations are not required to file a notice or an application with the OTS if (i) the savings association would remain at least adequately capitalized following the capital distribution and (ii) the amount of the capital distribution does not exceed an amount equal to the savings association's net income for that year to date, plus the savings association's retained net income for the previous two years. Thus, under the proposed regulation, only undistributed net income for the prior two years may be distributed in addition to the current year's undistributed net income without the filing of an application with the OTS. Savings associations which do not qualify for 28 expedited treatment or which desire to make a capital distribution in excess of the specified amount, must file an application with, and obtain the approval of, the OTS prior to making the capital distribution. Under certain other circumstances, savings associations will be required to file a notice with OTS prior to making the capital distribution. The OTS proposed limitations on capital distributions are similar to the limitations imposed upon national banks. The Bank is unable to predict whether or when the proposed regulation will become effective. Qualified Thrift Lender Test. The Home Owners' Loan Act ("HOLA"), as amended, requires savings institutions to meet a QTL test. If the Savings Bank maintains an appropriate level of Qualified Thrift Investments (primarily residential mortgages and related investments, including certain mortgage-backed securities) ("QTIs") and otherwise qualifies as a QTL, it will continue to enjoy full borrowing privileges from the FHLB of Pittsburgh. The required percentage of QTIs is 65% of portfolio assets (defined as all assets minus intangible assets, property used by the institution in conducting its business and liquid assets equal to 10% of total assets). Certain assets are subject to a percentage limitation of 20% of portfolio assets. In addition, savings associations may include shares of stock of the FHLBs, FNMA and FHLMC as qualifying QTIs. The FDICIA also amended the method for measuring compliance with the QTL test to be on a monthly basis in nine out of every 12 months, as opposed to on a daily or weekly average of QTIs. As of December 31, 1997, the Savings Bank was in compliance with its QTL requirement with 82.8% of its assets invested in QTIs . A savings association that does not meet a QTL test must either convert to a bank charter or comply with the following restrictions on its operations: (i) the savings association may not engage in any new activity or make any new investment, directly or indirectly, unless such activity or investment is permissible for a national bank; (ii) the branching powers of the savings association shall be restricted to those of a national bank; (iii) the savings association shall not be eligible to obtain any advances from its FHLB; and (iv) payment of dividends by the savings association shall be subject to the rules regarding payment of dividends by a national bank. Upon the expiration of three years from the date the savings association ceases to be a QTL, it must cease any activity and not retain any investment not permissible for a national bank and immediately repay any outstanding FHLB advances (subject to safety and soundness considerations). Liquidity Requirements. All savings associations are required to maintain an average daily balance of liquid assets equal to a certain percentage of the sum of its average daily balance of net withdrawable deposit accounts and borrowings payable in one year or less. The liquidity requirement may vary from time to time (between 4% and 10%) depending upon economic conditions and savings flows of all savings associations. At the present time, the required liquid asset ratio is 5%. At December 31, 1997, the Savings Bank's liquidity ratio was 19.3%. Federal Home Loan Bank System. The Savings Bank is a member of the FHLB of Pittsburgh, which is one of 12 regional FHLBs that administer the home financing credit function of savings associations. Each FHLB serves as a reserve or central bank for its members within its assigned region. It is funded primarily from proceeds derived from the sale of consolidated obligations of the FHLB System. It makes loans to members (i.e., advances) in accordance with policies and procedures established by the Board of Directors of the FHLB. As a member, the Savings Bank is required to purchase and maintain stock in the FHLB of Pittsburgh in an amount equal to at least 1% of its aggregate unpaid residential mortgage loans, home purchase contracts or similar obligations at the beginning of each year. At December 31, 1997, the Savings Bank had $4.9 million in FHLB stock, which was in compliance with this requirement. 29 Federal Reserve System. The Federal Reserve Board requires all depository institutions to maintain non-interest bearing reserves at specified levels against their transaction accounts (primarily checking, NOW and Super NOW checking accounts) and non-personal time deposits. The balances maintained to meet the reserve requirements imposed by the Federal Reserve Board may be used to satisfy the liquidity requirements that are imposed by the OTS. At December 31, 1997, the Savings Bank's total transaction accounts required a reserve level of $750,000 which was entirely offset by the Bank's vault cash on hand. Savings associations have authority to borrow from the Federal Reserve Bank "discount window," but Federal Reserve policy generally requires savings associations to exhaust all OTS sources before borrowing from the Federal Reserve System. The Savings Bank had no such borrowings at December 31, 1997. Item 2. Description of Property - --------------------------------- The Company is located and conducts its business at 3 Penns Trail, Newtown, Pennsylvania.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk - -------------------------------------------------------------------- Asset and Liability Management Managing Interest Rate Risk. Interest rate risk is defined as the sensitivity of the Company's current and future earnings as well as its capital to changes in the level of market interest rates. The Bank's exposure to interest rate risk results from, among other things, the difference in maturities in interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Since the Bank's assets currently have a longer maturity than its liabilities, the Bank's earnings could be negatively impacted during a period of rising interest rates and conversely, positively impacted during a period of falling interest rates. The relationship between the interest rate sensitivity of the Bank's assets and liabilities is continually monitored by management. In this regard, the Bank emphasizes the origination of shorter term or adjustable rate assets for portfolio while originating longer term fixed rate assets for resale. At December 31, 1997, approximately 77% of the Bank's loan portfolio were comprised of loans with original maturities of less than 15 years, balloon mortgages or adjustable rate loans. Additionally, the origination level of fixed rate assets are continually monitored and if deemed appropriate, the Bank will enter into forward commitments for the sale of these assets to ensure the Bank is not exposed to undue interest rate risk. The Bank utilizes its investment and mortgage-backed security portfolio in managing its liquidity and therefore seeks securities with a stated or average estimated maturities of less than five years. These securities are readily marketable and provide the Bank with a cash flow stream to fund asset growth or liability maturities. A significant portion of the Bank's assets has been funded with CDs including jumbo CDs. Unlike other deposit products such as checking and savings accounts, CDs carry a high degree of interest rate sensitivity and therefore, their renewal will vary based on the competitiveness of the Bank's interest rates. The Bank has attempted to price its CDs to be competitive at the shorter maturities (i.e., maturities of less than one year) in order to better match the repricing characteristics of portfolio loans. At December 31, 1997, approximately 44% of the Bank's deposits were CDs. The Bank utilizes borrowings from the FHLB in managing its interest rate risk and as a tool to augment deposits in funding asset growth. The Bank may utilize these funding sources to better match its longer term repricing assets (i.e., between one and five years). The nature of the Bank's current operations is such that it is not subject to foreign currency exchange or commodity price risk. Additionally, neither the Company nor the Bank owns any trading assets. At December 31, 1997, the Bank did not have any hedging transactions in place such as interest rate swaps, caps, or floors. 34 GAP analysis is a useful measurement of asset and liability management, however, it is difficult to predict the effect of changing interest rates based solely on this measure. An additional analysis required by the OTS and generated quarterly is the OTS Interest Rate Exposure Report. This report forecasts changes in the Bank's market value of portfolio equity ("MVPE") under alternative interest rate environments. The MVPE is defined as the net present value of the Bank's existing assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet instruments. The calculated estimates of change in MVPE at December 31, 1997 are as follows: MVPE - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Amount Change in Interest Rate (In Thousands) % Change +400 Basis Points $35,571 -37% +300 Basis Points 41,396 -27% +200 Basis Points 47,259 -16% +100 Basis Points 52,581 -7% Flat Rate 56,334 - -100 Basis Points 57,973 +3% - -200 Basis Points 58,074 +3% - -300 Basis Points 58,141 +3% - -400 Basis Points 60,381 +7% Management believes that the assumptions utilized in evaluating the vulnerability of the Company's earnings and capital to changes in interest rates approximate actual experience; however, the interest rate sensitivity of the Bank's assets and liabilities as well as the estimated effect of changes in interest rates on MVPE could vary substantially if different assumptions are used or actual experience differs from the experience on which the assumptions were based. In the event the Bank should experience a mismatch in its desired GAP ranges or an excessive decline in its MVPE subsequent to an immediate and sustained change in interest rate, it has a number of options which it could utilize to remedy such mismatch. The Bank could restructure its investment portfolio through sale or purchase of securities with more favorable repricing attributes. It could also emphasize loan products with appropriate maturities or repricing attributes, or it could attract deposits or obtain borrowings with desired maturities. Item 8.

EX-10.6 2 EXHIBIT 10.6 CHANGE IN CONTROL SEVERANCE AGREEMENT ------------------------------------- THIS CHANGE IN CONTROL SEVERANCE AGREEMENT ("Agreement") entered into this 1 st day of January, 1997 ("Effective Date"), by and between Third Federal Savings Bank (the "Savings Bank") and Thomas J. Sposito, II, (the "Employee"). WHEREAS, the Employee is currently employed by the Savings Bank as a Senior Vice President and Retail Banking Manager, and is experienced in all phases of the business of the Savings Bank; and WHEREAS, the parties desire by this writing to set forth the rights and responsibilities of the Savings Bank and Employee if the Savings Bank should undergo a change in control (as defined hereinafter in the Agreement) after the Effective Date. NOW, THEREFORE, it is AGREED as follows: 1. Employment. The Employee is employed in the capacity as a Senior Vice President and Retail Banking Manager of the Savings Bank. The Employee shall render such administrative and management services to the Savings Bank and TF Financial Corporation ("Parent") as are currently rendered and as are customarily performed by persons situated in a similar executive capacity. The Employee's other duties shall be such as the Board of Directors for the Savings Bank (the "Board of Directors" or "Board") may from time to time reasonably direct, including normal duties as an officer of the Savings Bank. 2. Term of Agreement. The term of this Agreement shall be for the period commencing on the Effective Date and ending twenty-four (24) months thereafter. Additionally, on, or before, each annual anniversary date from the Effective Date, the term of this Agreement may be extended for an additional one year period beyond the then effective expiration date upon a determination and resolution of the Board of Directors that the performance of the Employee has met the requirements and standards of the Board, and that the term of such Agreement shall be extended. 3. Termination of Employment in Connection with or Subsequent to -------------------------------------------------------------- a Change in Control. ------------------- (a) Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, in the event of the involuntary termination of Employee's employment under this Agreement, absent Just Cause, in connection with, or within twenty-four (24) months after, any Change in Control of the Bank or Parent, Employee shall be paid an amount equal to two (2) times the prior three (3) calendar year (or lesser period if not employed for such 3 year period) average compensation paid to the Employee by the Bank (whether said amounts were received or 1 deferred by the Employee) and the costs associated with maintaining coverage under the Bank's medical and dental insurance reimbursement plans similar to that in effect on the date of termination of employment for a period of one year thereafter. Said sum shall be paid, at the option of Employee, either in one (1) lump sum within thirty (30) days of such termination discounted to the present value of such payment using as the discount rate the "prime rate" as published in the Wall Street Journal Eastern Edition as of the date of such payment minus 100 basis points, or in periodic payments over the next 24 months, and such payments shall be in lieu of any other future payments which the Employee would be otherwise entitled to receive. Notwithstanding the forgoing, all sums payable hereunder shall be reduced in such manner and to such extent so that no such payments made hereunder when aggregated with all other payments to be made to the Employee by the Bank or the Parent shall be deemed an "excess parachute payment" in accordance with Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Codes of 1986, as amended (the "Code") and be subject to the excise tax provided at Section 4999(a) of the Code. The term "Change in Control" shall mean: (i) the execution of an agreement for the sale of all, or a material portion, of the assets of the Bank or the Parent; (ii) the execution of an agreement for a merger or recapitalization of the Bank or the Parent or any merger or recapitalization whereby the Bank or the Parent is not the surviving entity; (iii) a change in control of the Bank or the Parent, as otherwise defined or determined by the Office of Thrift Supervision or regulations promulgated by it; or (iv) the acquisition, directly or indirectly, of the beneficial ownership (within the meaning of that term as it is used in Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder) of twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the outstanding voting securities of the Bank or the Parent by any person, trust, entity or group. The term "person" means an individual other than the Employee, or a corporation, partnership, trust, association, joint venture, pool, syndicate, sole proprietorship, unincorporated organization or any other form of entity not specifically listed herein. (b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary except as provided at Sections 4(b), 4(c), 4(d), 4(e) and 5, Employee may voluntary terminate his employment under this Agreement within twenty-four (24) months following a Change in Control of the Bank or Parent, and Employee shall thereupon be entitled to receive the payment and benefits described in Section 3(a) of this Agreement, upon the occurrence, or within ninety (90) days thereafter, of any of the following events, which have not been consented to in advance by the Employee in writing: (i) if Employee would be required to move his personal residence or perform his principal executive functions more than fifty (50) miles from the Employee's primary office as of the signing of this Agreement; (ii) if in the organizational structure of the Bank or Parent, Employee would be required to report to a person or persons 2 deemed to be at a management level below the management level to which Employee was reporting to prior to the Change in Control; (iii) if the Bank or Parent should fail to maintain the Employee's base compensation in effect as of the date of the Change in Control and existing employee benefits plans, including material fringe benefit, stock option and retirement plans, except to the extent that such reduction in benefit programs is part of an overall adjustment in benefits for all employees of the Bank or Parent and does not disproportionately adversely impact the Employee; (iv) if Employee would be assigned duties and responsibilities other than those normally associated with his position as referenced at Section 1, herein, for a period of more than six months; or (v) if Employee's responsibilities or authority have in any way been materially diminished or reduced for a period of more than six months. 4. Other Changes in Employment Status. ---------------------------------- (a) Except as provided for at Section 3, herein, the Board of Directors may terminate the Employee's employment at any time, but any termination by the Board of Directors other than termination for Just Cause, shall not prejudice the Employee's right to compensation or other benefits under the Agreement. The Employee shall have no right to receive compensation or other benefits for any period after termination for Just Cause. Termination for "Just Cause" shall include termination because of the Employee's personal dishonesty, incompetence, willful misconduct, breach of fiduciary duty involving personal profit, intentional failure to perform stated duties, willful violation of any law, rule or regulation (other than traffic violations or similar offenses) or final cease- and-desist order, or material breach of any provision of the Agreement. (b) If the Employee is removed and/or permanently prohibited from participating in the conduct of the Savings Bank's affairs by an order issued under Sections 8(e)(4) or 8(g)(1) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act ("FDIA") (12 U.S.C. 1818(e)(4) and (g)(1)), all obligations of the Savings Bank under this Agreement shall terminate, as of the effective date of the order, but the vested rights of the parties shall not be affected. (c) If the Savings Bank is in default (as defined in Section 3(x)(1) of FDIA) all obligations under this Agreement shall terminate as of the date of default, but this paragraph shall not affect any vested rights of the contracting parties. (d) All obligations under this Agreement shall be terminated, except to the extent determined that continuation of this Agreement is necessary for the continued operation of the Savings Bank: (i) by the Director of the Office of Thrift Supervision ("Director of OTS"), or his or her designee, at the time that the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") or the Resolution Trust Corporation 3 enters into an agreement to provide assistance to or on behalf of the Savings Bank under the authority contained in Section 13(c) of FDIA; or (ii) by the Director of the OTS, or his or her designee, at the time that the Director of the OTS, or his or her designee approves a supervisory merger to resolve problems related to operation of the Savings Bank or when the Savings Bank is determined by the Director of the OTS to be in an unsafe or unsound condition. Any rights of the parties that have already vested, however, shall not be affected by such action. (e) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any payments made to the Employee pursuant to the Agreement, or otherwise, shall be subject to and conditioned upon compliance with 12 USC ss.1828(k) and any regulations promulgated thereunder. 5. Suspension of Employment . If the Employee is suspended and/or temporarily prohibited from participating in the conduct of the Savings Bank's affairs by a notice served under Section 8(e)(3) or (g)(1) of the FDIA (12 U.S.C. 1818(e)(3) and (g)(1)), the Savings Bank's obligations under the Agreement shall be suspended as of the date of service, unless stayed by appropriate proceedings. If the charges in the notice are dismissed, the Savings Bank shall, (i) pay the Employee all or part of the compensation withheld while its contract obligations were suspended and (ii) reinstate any of its obligations which were suspended. 6. Successors and Assigns. ---------------------- (a) This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon any corporate or other successor of the Savings Bank which shall acquire, directly or indirectly, by merger, consolidation, purchase or otherwise, all or substantially all of the assets or stock of the Savings Bank.

This agreement shall be governed by all respects whether as to validity, construction, capacity, performance or otherwise, by the laws of the State of Pennsylvania, except to the extent that Federal law shall be deemed to apply. 9. Severability. The provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed severable and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions hereof. 4 10. Arbitration. Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the breach thereof, shall be settled by arbitration in accordance with the rules then in effect of the district office of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") nearest to the home office of the Savings Bank, and judgment upon the award rendered may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof, except to the extent that the parties may otherwise reach a mutual settlement of such issue. The Savings Bank shall incur the cost of all fees and expenses associated with filing a request for arbitration with the AAA, whether such filing is made on behalf of the Savings Bank or the Employee, and the costs and administrative fees associated with employing the arbitrator and related administrative expenses assessed by the AAA. Each party shall be responsible for any fees incurred on its own behalf with respect to other expenses, including attorneys' fees, arising from such dispute, proceedings or actions. 11. Confidentiality. --------------- (a) Employee agrees that, at all times hereafter, he will keep all confidential and proprietary business and marketing strategies of Savings Bank and any and all other information which he learned regarding the Savings Bank during the course of his employment by Savings Bank, in strictest confidence and will not disclose any part or aspect thereof to anyone for any reason unless required by law to do so.

In selecting Participants and in determining the number of Shares of Common Stock to be granted to each such Participant, the Committee may consider the nature of the prior and anticipated future services rendered by each such Participant, each such Participant's current and potential contribution to the Company and such other factors as the Committee may, in its sole discretion, deem relevant. Participants who have been granted an Award may, if otherwise eligible, be granted additional Awards. A-4 (b) The aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the date the Option is granted) of the Shares with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by each Employee during any calendar year (under all Incentive Stock Option plans, as defined in Section 422 of the Code, of the Company or any present or future Parent or Subsidiary of the Company) shall not exceed $100,000. Notwithstanding the prior provisions of this Section 6, the Committee may grant Options in excess of the foregoing limitations, provided said Options shall be clearly and specifically designated as not being Incentive Stock Options. (c) In no event shall Shares subject to Options granted to non-employee Directors in the aggregate under this Plan exceed more than 30% of the total number of Shares authorized for delivery under this Plan pursuant to Section 3 herein or more than 5% to any individual non-employee Director.

(ii) In the case of an Employee who owns Common Stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the outstanding Common Stock at the time the Incentive Stock Option is granted, the Incentive Stock Option exercise price shall not be less than one hundred and ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the date that the Incentive Stock Option is granted. (b) Payment. Full payment for each Share of Common Stock purchased upon the exercise of any Incentive Stock Option granted under the Plan shall be made at the time of exercise of each such Incentive Stock Option and shall be paid in cash (in United States Dollars), Common Stock or a combination of cash and Common Stock. Common Stock utilized in full or partial payment of the exercise price shall be valued at the Fair Market Value at the date of exercise. The Company shall accept full or partial payment in Common Stock only to the extent permitted by applicable law. No Shares of Common Stock shall be issued until full payment has been received by the Company, and no Optionee shall have any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company until Shares of Common Stock are issued to the Optionee. (c) Term of Incentive Stock Option. The term of exercisability of each Incentive Stock Option granted pursuant to the Plan shall be not more than ten (10) years from the date each such A-5 Incentive Stock Option is granted, provided that in the case of an Employee who owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the Common Stock outstanding at the time the Incentive Stock Option is granted, the term of exercisability of the Incentive Stock Option shall not exceed five (5) years. (d) Exercise Generally. Except as otherwise provided in Section 10 hereof, no Incentive Stock Option may be exercised unless the Optionee shall have been in the employ of the Company at all times during the period beginning with the date of grant of any such Incentive Stock Option and ending on the date three (3) months prior to the date of exercise of any such Incentive Stock Option. The Committee may impose additional conditions upon the right of an Optionee to exercise any Incentive Stock Option granted hereunder which are not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan or the requirements for qualification as an Incentive Stock Option. Except as otherwise provided by the terms of the Plan or by action of the Committee at the time of the grant of the Options, the Options will be first exercisable at the rate of 20% on the one year anniversary of the date of grant and 20% annually thereafter during such periods of service as an Employee, Director or Director Emeritus. (e) Cashless Exercise. Subject to vesting requirements, if applicable, an Optionee who has held an Incentive Stock Option for at least six months may engage in the "cashless exercise" of the Option. Upon a cashless exercise, an Optionee shall give the Company written notice of the exercise of the Option together with an order to a registered broker-dealer or equivalent third party, to sell part or all of the Optioned Stock and to deliver enough of the proceeds to the Company to pay the Option exercise price and any applicable withholding taxes. If the Optionee does not sell the Optioned Stock through a registered broker-dealer or equivalent third party, the Optionee can give the Company written notice of the exercise of the Option and the third party purchaser of the Optioned Stock shall pay the Option exercise price plus any applicable withholding taxes to the Company. (f) Transferability. An Incentive Stock Option granted pursuant to the Plan shall be exercised during an Optionee's lifetime only by the Optionee to whom it was granted and shall not be assignable or transferable otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. 9.

Each Non-Incentive Stock Option granted pursuant to the Plan shall be evidenced by an instrument in such form as the Committee shall from time to time approve. Each Non-Incentive Stock Option granted pursuant to the Plan shall comply with and be subject to the following terms and conditions. (a) Options Granted to Directors.

Non-Incentive Stock Options to purchase 8,000 shares of Common Stock will be granted to each Director of the Savings Bank who is not otherwise a Director of the Company or an Employee as of the Effective Date, at an exercise price equal to the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on such date of grant. The Options will be first exercisable at the rate of 20% on the one year anniversary of the Effective Date and 20% annually thereafter during such periods of service as a Director or Director Emeritus of the Company or the Savings Bank. Such Options shall continue to be exercisable for a period of ten years following the date of grant without regard to the continued services of such Director as a Director or Director Emeritus. Nothwithstanding the foregoing, upon the death or Disability of the Director or Director Emeritus, such Options shall be deemed immediately 100% exercisable and shall remain exercisable for a period of three years from such date of death or Disability. In the event of the Optionee's death, such Options may be exercised by the A-6 personal representative of his estate or person or persons to whom his rights under such Option shall have passed by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. Options may be granted to newly appointed or elected non-employee Directors within the sole discretion of the Committee. The exercise price per Share of such Options granted shall be equal to the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock at the time such Options are granted. All Options awarded in accordance with this Section 9(a) as of the Effective Date shall have Dividend Equivalent Rights associated with such Options, as detailed at Section 12 herein. All outstanding Awards shall become immediately exercisable in the event of a Change in Control of the Savings Bank or the Company. Unless otherwise inapplicable, or inconsistent with the provisions of this paragraph, the Options to be granted to Directors hereunder shall be subject to all other provisions of this Plan. (b) Option Price. The exercise price per Share of Common Stock for each Non-Incentive Stock Option granted pursuant to the Plan shall be at such price as the Committee may determine in its sole discretion, but in no event less than the Fair Market Value of such Common Stock on the date of grant as determined by the Committee in good faith. (c) Payment. Full payment for each Share of Common Stock purchased upon the exercise of any Non-Incentive Stock Option granted under the Plan shall be made at the time of exercise of each such Non-Incentive Stock Option and shall be paid in cash (in United States Dollars), Common Stock or a combination of cash and Common Stock. Common Stock utilized in full or partial payment of the exercise price shall be valued at its Fair Market Value at the date of exercise. The Company shall accept full or partial payment in Common Stock only to the extent permitted by applicable law. No Shares of Common Stock shall be issued until full payment has been received by the Company and no Optionee shall have any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company until the Shares of Common Stock are issued to the Optionee. (d) Term. The term of exercisability of each Non-Incentive Stock Option granted pursuant to the Plan shall be not more than ten (10) years from the date each such Non-Incentive Stock Option is granted. (e) Exercise Generally. The Committee may impose additional conditions upon the right of any Participant to exercise any Non-Incentive Stock Option granted hereunder which is not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan. Except as otherwise provided by the terms of the Plan or by action of the Committee at the time of the grant of the Options, the Options will be first exercisable at the rate of 20% on the one year anniversary of the date of grant and 20% annually thereafter during such periods of service as an Employee, Director or Director Emeritus. (f) Cashless Exercise. Subject to vesting requirements, if applicable, an Optionee who has held a Non-Incentive Stock Option for at least six months may engage in the "cashless exercise" of the Option. Upon a cashless exercise, an Optionee shall give the Company written notice of the exercise of the Option together with an order to a registered broker-dealer or equivalent third party, to sell part or all of the Optioned Stock and to deliver enough of the proceeds to the Company to pay the Option exercise price and any applicable withholding taxes. If the Optionee does not sell the Optioned Stock through a registered broker-dealer or equivalent third party, the Optionee can give the Company written notice of the exercise of the Option and the third party purchaser of the Optioned Stock shall pay the Option exercise price plus any applicable withholding taxes to the Company. A-7 (g) Transferability. Any Non-Incentive Stock Option granted pursuant to the Plan shall be exercised during an Optionee's lifetime only by the Optionee to whom it was granted and shall not be assignable or transferable otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. 10. Effect of Termination of Employment, Disability or Death on ----------------------------------------------------------------- Incentive Stock Options. - ----------------------- (a) Termination of Employment. In the event that any Optionee's employment with the Company shall terminate for any reason, other than Disability or death, all of any such Optionee's Incentive Stock Options, and all of any such Optionee's rights to purchase or receive Shares of Common Stock pursuant thereto, shall automatically terminate on (A) the earlier of (i) or (ii): (i) the respective expiration dates of any such Incentive Stock Options, or (ii) the expiration of not more than three (3) months after the date of such termination of employment; or (B) at such later date as is determined by the Committee at the time of the grant of such Award based upon the Optionee's continuing status as a Director or Director Emeritus of the Savings Bank or the Company, but only if, and to the extent that, the Optionee was entitled to exercise any such Incentive Stock Options at the date of such termination of employment, and further that such Award shall thereafter be deemed a Non-Incentive Stock Option. In the event that a Subsidiary ceases to be a Subsidiary of the Company, the employment of all of its employees who are not immediately thereafter employees of the Company shall be deemed to terminate upon the date such Subsidiary so ceases to be a Subsidiary of the Company. (b) Disability. In the event that any Optionee's employment with the Company shall terminate as the result of the Disability of such Optionee, such Optionee may exercise any Incentive Stock Options granted to the Optionee pursuant to the Plan at any time prior to the earlier of (i) the respective expiration dates of any such Incentive Stock Options or (ii) the date which is one (1) year after the date of such termination of employment, but only if, and to the extent that, the Optionee was entitled to exercise any such Incentive Stock Options at the date of such termination of employment. (c) Death. In the event of the death of an Optionee, any Incentive Stock Options granted to such Optionee may be exercised by the person or persons to whom the Optionee's rights under any such Incentive Stock Options pass by will or by the laws of descent and distribution (including the Optionee's estate during the period of administration) at any time prior to the earlier of (i) the respective expiration dates of any such Incentive Stock Options or (ii) the date which is two (2) years after the date of death of such Optionee but only if, and to the extent that, the Optionee was entitled to exercise any such Incentive Stock Options at the date of death. For purposes of this Section 10(c), any Incentive Stock Option held by an Optionee shall be considered exercisable at the date of his death if the only unsatisfied condition precedent to the exercisability of such Incentive Stock Option at the date of death is the passage of a specified period of time. At the discretion of the Committee, upon exercise of such Options the Optionee may receive Shares or cash or a combination thereof. If cash shall be paid in lieu of Shares, such cash shall be equal to the difference between the Fair Market Value of such Shares and the exercise price of such Options on the exercise date. (d) Incentive Stock Options Deemed Exercisable. For purposes of Sections 10(a), 10(b) and 10(c) above, any Incentive Stock Option held by any Optionee shall be considered exercisable at the date of termination of employment if any such Incentive Stock Option would have been exercisable at such date of termination of employment without regard to the Disability or death of the Participant. A-8 (e) Termination of Incentive Stock Options. Except as may be specified by the Committee at the time of grant of an Option, to the extent that any Incentive Stock Option granted under the Plan to any Optionee whose employment with the Company terminates shall not have been exercised within the applicable period set forth in this Section 10, any such Incentive Stock Option, and all rights to purchase or receive Shares of Common Stock pursuant thereto, as the case may be, shall terminate on the last day of the applicable period. 11. Effect of Termination of Employment, Disability or Death on Non-Incentive Stock Options. The terms and conditions of Non-Incentive Stock Options relating to the effect of the termination of an Optionee's employment or service, Disability of an Optionee or his death shall be such terms and conditions as the Committee shall, in its sole discretion, determine at the time of termination of service, unless specifically provided for by the terms of the Agreement at the time of grant of the Award. 12. Dividend Equivalent Rights. The Committee, in its sole discretion, may include as a term of any Option, the right of the Optionee to receive Dividend Equivalent Rights. Such rights shall provide that upon the payment of a dividend on the Common Stock, the holder of such Options shall receive payment of compensation in an amount equivalent to the dividend payable as if such Options had been exercised and such Common Stock held as of the dividend record date. Such rights shall expire upon the expiration or exercise of such underlying Options. Such rights are non-transferable and shall attach to Options whether or not such Options are immediately exercisable. The dividend equivalent payments associated with Options shall be paid to the Option holder at the dividend payment date of the Common Stock. All Options granted by the Committee to Employees as of the Effective Date shall have Dividend Equivalent Rights associated with such Options. All Options granted to non-employee Directors of the Company or the Savings Bank as of the Effective Date in accordance Section 9(a) of the Plan shall have Dividend Equivalent Rights associated with such Options. 13. Recapitalization, Merger, Consolidation, Change in Control and Other Transactions. (a) Adjustment. Subject to any required action by the stockholders of the Company, within the sole discretion of the Committee, the aggregate number of Shares of Common Stock for which Options may be granted hereunder, the number of Shares of Common Stock covered by each outstanding Option, and the exercise price per Share of Common Stock of each such Option, shall all be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of issued and outstanding Shares of Common Stock resulting from a subdivision or consolidation of Shares (whether by reason of merger, consolidation, recapitalization, reclassification, split-up, combination of shares, or otherwise) or the payment of a stock dividend (but only on the Common Stock) or any other increase or decrease in the number of such Shares of Common Stock effected without the receipt or payment of consideration by the Company (other than Shares held by dissenting stockholders). (b) Change in Control. All outstanding Awards shall become immediately exercisable in the event of a Change in Control of the Company, as determined by the Committee. In the event of such a Change in Control, the Committee and the Board of Directors will take one or more of the following actions to be effective as of the date of such Change in Control: (i) provide that such Options shall be assumed, or equivalent options shall be substituted, ("Substitute Options") by the acquiring or succeeding corporation (or an affiliate thereof), provided that: (A) any such Substitute Options exchanged for Incentive Stock Options shall meet the requirements of A-9 Section 424(a) of the Code, and (B) the shares of stock issuable upon the exercise of such Substitute Options shall constitute securities registered in accordance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, ("1933 Act") or such securities shall be exempt from such registration in accordance with Sections 3(a)(2) or 3(a)(5) of the 1933 Act, (collectively, "Registered Securities"), or in the alternative, if the securities issuable upon the exercise of such Substitute Options shall not constitute Registered Securities, then the Optionee will receive upon consummation of the Change in Control transaction a cash payment for each Option surrendered equal to the difference between (1) the Fair Market Value of the consideration to be received for each share of Common Stock in the Change in Control transaction times the number of shares of Common Stock subject to such surrendered Options, and (2) the aggregate exercise price of all such surrendered Options, or (ii) in the event of a transaction under the terms of which the holders of the Common Stock of the Company will receive upon consummation thereof a cash payment (the "Merger Price") for each share of Common Stock exchanged in the Change in Control transaction, to make or to provide for a cash payment to the Optionees equal to the difference between (A) the Merger Price times the number of shares of Common Stock subject to such Options held by each Optionee (to the extent then exercisable at prices not in excess of the Merger Price) and (B) the aggregate exercise price of all such surrendered Options in exchange for such surrendered Options. (c) Extraordinary Corporate Action. Notwithstanding any provisions of the Plan to the contrary, subject to any required action by the stockholders of the Company, in the event of any Change in Control, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, exchange of Shares, spin-off, reorganization, tender offer, partial or complete liquidation or other extraordinary corporate action or event, the Committee, in its sole discretion, shall have the power, prior or subsequent to such action or event to: (i) appropriately adjust the number of Shares of Common Stock subject to each Option, the Option exercise price per Share of Common Stock, and the consideration to be given or received by the Company upon the exercise of any outstanding Option; (ii) cancel any or all previously granted Options, provided that appropriate consideration is paid to the Optionee in connection therewith; and/or (iii) make such other adjustments in connection with the Plan as the Committee, in its sole discretion, deems necessary, desirable, appropriate or advisable; provided, however, that no action shall be taken by the Committee which would cause Incentive Stock Options granted pursuant to the Plan to fail to meet the requirements of Section 422 of the Code without the consent of the Optionee. (d) Acceleration. The Committee shall at all times have the power to accelerate the exercise date of Options previously granted under the Plan. (e) Non-recurring Dividends. Upon the payment of a special or non-recurring cash dividend that has the effect of a return of capital to the stockholders, the Option exercise price per share shall be adjusted proportionately, except to the extent that the Participant shall otherwise receive payments associated with Dividend Equivalent Rights attributable to such Options with regard to such special or non-recurring cash dividends. A-10 Except as expressly provided in Sections 13(a), 13(b) and 13(e) hereof, no Optionee shall have any rights by reason of the occurrence of any of the events described in this Section 13. 14. Time of Granting Options. The date of grant of an Option under the Plan shall, for all purposes, be the date on which the Committee makes the determination of granting such Option. Notice of the grant of an Option shall be given to each individual to whom an Option is so granted within a reasonable time after the date of such grant in a form determined by the Committee. 15. Effective Date. The Plan shall become effective upon the date of approval and adoption of the Plan by the Board of the Company, subject to ratification of the Plan by the stockholders of the Company.

At any time and from time to time, the Board may authorize the Committee to direct the execution of an instrument providing for the modification of any outstanding Option, provided no such modification, extension or renewal shall confer on the holder of said Option any right or benefit which could not be conferred on the Optionee by the grant of a new Option at such time, or shall not materially decrease the Optionee's benefits under the Option without the consent of the holder of the Option, except as otherwise permitted under Section 18 hereof. 18. Amendment and Termination of the Plan. ------------------------------------- (a) Action by the Board. The Board may alter, suspend or discontinue the Plan, except that no action of the Board may increase (other than as provided in Section 13 hereof) the maximum number of Shares permitted to be optioned under the Plan, materially increase the benefits accruing to Participants under the Plan or materially modify the requirements for eligibility for participation in the Plan unless such action of the Board shall be subject to approval or ratification by the stockholders of the Company. (b) Change in Applicable Law. Notwithstanding any other provision contained in the Plan, in the event of a change in any federal or state law, rule or regulation which would make the exercise of all or part of any previously granted Option unlawful or subject the Company to any penalty, the Committee may restrict any such exercise without the consent of the Optionee or other holder thereof in order to comply with any such law, rule or regulation or to avoid any such penalty. 19. Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares; Limitations on Option -------------------------------------------------------------- Exercise; Cancellation of Option Rights. - --------------------------------------- (a) Shares shall not be issued with respect to any Option granted under the Plan unless the issuance and delivery of such Shares shall comply with all relevant provisions of applicable law, including, without limitation, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, any applicable state securities laws and the requirements of any stock exchange upon which the Shares may then be listed. A-11 (b) The inability of the Company to obtain any necessary authorizations, approvals or letters of non-objection from any regulatory body or authority deemed by the Company's counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Shares issuable hereunder shall relieve the Company of any liability with respect to the non-issuance or sale of such Shares. (c) As a condition to the exercise of an Option, the Company may require the person exercising the Option to make such representations and warranties as may be necessary to assure the availability of an exemption from the registration requirements of federal or state securities law. (d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, upon the termination of employment or service of an Optionee by the Company or its Subsidiaries for "cause" as defined at 12 C.F.R. 563.39(b)(1) as determined by the Board of Directors, all Options held by such Participant shall cease to be exercisable as of the date of such termination of employment or service. (e) Upon the exercise of an Option by an Optionee (or the Optionee's personal representative), the Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion, may make a cash payment to the Optionee, in whole or in part, in lieu of the delivery of shares of Common Stock. Such cash payment to be paid in lieu of delivery of Common Stock shall be equal to the difference between the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the date of the Option exercise and the exercise price per share of the Option. Such cash payment shall be in exchange for the cancellation of such Option. Such cash payment shall not be made in the event that such transaction would result in liability to the Optionee or the Company under Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and regulations promulgated thereunder. 20. Reservation of Shares. During the term of the Plan, the Company will reserve and keep available a number of Shares sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Plan. 21. Unsecured Obligation. No Participant under the Plan shall have any interest in any fund or special asset of the Company by reason of the Plan or the grant of any Option under the Plan. No trust fund shall be created in connection with the Plan or any grant of any Option hereunder and there shall be no required funding of amounts which may become payable to any Participant. 22. Withholding Tax. The Company shall have the right to deduct from all amounts paid in cash with respect to the cashless exercise of Options and Dividend Equivalent Rights under the Plan any taxes required by law to be withheld with respect to such cash payments. Where a Participant or other person is entitled to receive Shares pursuant to the exercise of an Option, the Company shall have the right to require the Participant or such other person to pay the Company the amount of any taxes which the Company is required to withhold with respect to such Shares, or, in lieu thereof, to retain, or to sell without notice, a number of such Shares sufficient to cover the amount required to be withheld. 23. No Employment Rights. No Director, Employee or other person shall have a right to be selected as a Participant under the Plan. Neither the Plan nor any action taken by the Committee in administration of the Plan shall be construed as giving any person any rights of employment or retention as an Employee, Director or in any other capacity with the Company, the Savings Bank or other Subsidiaries.

Back Cover TF FINANCIAL CORPORATION To Our Shareholders: I would like to share with you some of the actions we initiated in 1997 that will positively impact shareholder value. The most significant action initiated by the company was our Modified Dutch Auction. In October, we offered to purchase shares of our stock at prices not in excess of $26.00 per share in cash. The tender offer was designed to enhance shareholder value going forward. When the results were totaled, we had acquired just over 900,000 shares. Total shares outstanding at the end of the period have been reduced 27% from 3.963 million at December 31, 1996 to 2.886 million at December 31, 1997. During the year we were able to improve return on equity to 7.39% from the year earlier return of 4.74%. Earnings per share improved to $1.25, assuming dilution, from $ .83 for 1996. While improving earnings, we also substantially reduced non-performing loans from 0.30% of assets in December 1996 to 0.23% of assets at the end of 1997. The allowances for loan losses increased from 91.60% at December 31, 1996 to 146.82% of non-performing loans at December 31, 1997. In addition, the restructuring of departments within the Bank to shift our emphasis from wholesale to retail loan services, the addition of three automated transaction machines (ATM's), the introduction of a Visa credit card, and the addition of a senior level executive to handle our technology and information systems will all help further improve our ability to continue to be the best community bank in our market area. Although we have invested in talent and resources to safely increase earnings, we have controlled the expenditures. Our efficiency ratio improved during 1997 to 61.17% from 69.36% a year earlier. As we move forward with new products and services, we will continue to monitor expenses. We have declared a cash dividend each quarter since our first one in December 1994. That first dividend was $0.05 per share. The amount has increased steadily through the December 1997 period to $0.12. The stock market has recognized our accomplishments by trading our stock to a high of $30.00 in December 1997 from a high during 1996 of $16.25. The board, management and employees are extremely proud of these results. We thank you for your continued support and encouragement and the opportunity to serve you. Sincerely, /s/John R. Stranford - -------------------- John R. Stranford President and Chief Executive Officer Corporate Profile and Related Information TF Financial Corporation (the "Corporation") is the parent company of Third Federal Savings Bank ("Third Federal" or the "Savings Bank"), TF Investments Corporation, Teragon, Inc. and Penns Trail Development Corporation. At December 31, 1997, total assets were approximately $597.0 million. The Corporation was formed as a Delaware corporation in March 1994 at the direction of the Savings Bank to acquire all of the capital stock that Third Federal issued upon its conversion from the mutual to stock form of ownership (the "Conversion") and concurrent $52.9 million initial public offering effective July 13, 1994. At December 31, 1997, total stockholders' equity was approximately $50.1 million. The Corporation is a unitary savings and loan holding company which, under existing laws, generally is not restricted in the types of business activities in which it may engage, provided that Third Federal retains a specified amount of its assets in housing-related investments. Third Federal is a federally-chartered stock savings bank headquartered in Newtown, Pennsylvania, which was originally chartered in 1921 under the name "Polish American Savings Building and Loan Association." Third Federal became a federally chartered mutual savings and loan association under the name "Third Federal Savings and Loan Association of Philadelphia" in 1935, and a federally chartered stock savings bank under its present name, and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Corporation, in July 1994, in connection with its mutual-to-stock conversion. Third Federal significantly expanded its operations throughout Philadelphia and Bucks Counties, Pennsylvania, in June 1992 through its acquisition of Doylestown Federal Savings and Loan Association ("Doylestown"). In September 1996, Third Federal expanded its operations into Mercer County, New Jersey, through its acquisition of three branches, along with the related deposits, of Cenlar Federal Savings Bank. Deposits of Third Federal have been federally insured since 1935 and are currently insured up to the maximum amount allowable by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC"). Third Federal is a community oriented savings institution offering a variety of financial services to meet the needs of the communities that it serves. Third Federal conducts its business from its main office in Newtown, Pennsylvania, and thirteen full service branch offices located in Philadelphia and Bucks Counties, Pennsylvania and Mercer County, New Jersey. Third Federal attracts deposits (approximately $450.4 million at December 31, 1997) from the general public and uses such deposits, together with borrowings (approximately $88.4 million at December 31, 1997) and other funds, primarily to invest in mortgage-backed and investment securities and to originate or purchase loans secured by first mortgages on owner-occupied, one-to-four family residences in its market area. To a much lesser extent, the Savings Bank also originates commercial real estate and multi-family loans, construction loans and consumer loans. Stock Market Information Since its issuance in July 1994, the Corporation's common stock has been traded on the Nasdaq National Market. The daily stock quotation for the Corporation is listed in the Nasdaq National Market published in The Wall Street Journal, The Philadelphia Inquirer, and other leading newspapers under the trading symbol of "THRD". The following table reflects the closing stock price as published by the Nasdaq National Market statistical report for the past two fiscal years. Fiscal 1996 HIGH LOW ----------- ---- --- First Quarter $ 15.38 $ 14.00 Second Quarter $ 15.13 $ 13.94 Third Quarter $ 15.13 $ 13.75 Fourth Quarter $ 16.25 $ 14.50 Fiscal 1997 HIGH LOW ----------- ---- --- First Quarter $ 19.25 $ 16.50 Second Quarter $ 19.63 $ 16.63 Third Quarter $ 25.69 $ 19.13 Fourth Quarter $ 30.00 $ 23.25 2 The number of shareholders of record of common stock as of March 11, 1998, was approximately 690. This does not reflect the number of persons or entities who held stock in nominee or "street" name through various brokerage firms. At March 11, 1998, there were 3,187,233 shares of the common stock of the Corporation outstanding. Dividend Policy The Corporation's ability to pay dividends to stockholders is dependent in part upon the dividends it receives from Third Federal. Among other limitations, Third Federal may not declare or pay a cash dividend on any of its stock if the effect thereof would cause Third Federal's regulatory capital to be reduced below (1) the amount required for the liquidation account established in connection with Third Federal's conversion from mutual to stock form, or (2) the regulatory capital requirements imposed by the Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS"). It is the Corporation's policy to pay dividends when it is deemed prudent to do so. The Board of Directors will consider the payment of a dividend on a quarterly basis, after giving consideration to the level of profits for the previous quarter and other relevant information. The following charts show the Corporation's history of dividend payments.

This change was instituted to enable the Corporation to present its financial reports on a fiscal year end that is more prevalent in the financial services industry. 3 SELECTED FINANCIAL INFORMATION AND OTHER DATA

Income related ratios exclude the cumulative effect of a change in accounting for certain investments of $427,000 for the six months ended 12/31/94 (SFAS #115) and change in accounting for income taxes of $1.8 million for the six month period ended 12/31/93 and fiscal year end 6/30/94 (SFAS #109). 4. Ratios for six month periods are stated on an annualized basis. Such ratios are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. 5 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS General The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Corporation's consolidated financial statements and is intended to assist in understanding and evaluating the major changes in the financial condition and results of operations of the Corporation with a primary focus on an analysis of operating results. Certain forward-looking statements contained herein are subject to risks and uncertainties. The Corporation's actual results may differ materially from those set forth in such forward-looking statements. Reference is made to the Corporation's reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for a discussion of factors that may cause such differences to occur. The Corporation's income on a consolidated basis is derived substantially from its investment in its subsidiary, Third Federal. The earnings of Third Federal depend primarily on its net interest income. Net interest income is affected by the interest income that Third Federal receives from its loans and investments and by the interest expense that the Savings Bank incurs on its deposits, borrowings and other sources of funds. The difference between average rate of interest earned on interest earning assets and the average rate paid on interest bearing liabilities is the "interest rate spread". When interest earning assets equal or exceed interest bearing liabilities, any positive interest rate spread will produce net interest income. During the years ended December 31, 1997, December 31, 1996, and December 31, 1995, the average net interest rate spread was 2.72%, 2.76% and 2.84% respectively. In addition, Third Federal receives income from service charges and other fees and occasionally from sales of investment securities and real estate owned. The Savings Bank incurs expenses in addition to interest expense in the form of salaries and benefits, deposit insurance premiums, property operations and maintenance, advertising and other related business expenses. Interest Rate Sensitivity Analysis The Corporation's asset/liability strategy for 1998 is to maintain its present positive gap position (interest-earning assets subject to repricing greater than interest-bearing liabilities subject to repricing) for periods of up to five years so that the impact of a slightly rising rate environment on net interest income will not be significant to the Corporation's results of operations. Effective monitoring of these interest sensitivity gaps is the priority of the Corporation's asset/liability management committee. The following table indicates the time periods in which interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities will mature or reprice in accordance with their contractual terms or assumed prepayment rates. The assumptions used in the table are included in the notes thereto. Management believes that the assumptions used to evaluate the vulnerability of the Savings Bank's operations to changes in interest rates are reasonable. The interest rate sensitivity of the Savings Bank's assets and liabilities as shown in the table below could vary substantially if differing assumptions were used or if actual experience differs from the assumptions used in the table. For example, although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or periods to repricing, they may react in differing degrees to changes in market interest rates. The interest rates on certain types of assets and liabilities may fluctuate in advance of changes in market interest rates, while interest rates on other types may lag behind changes in market rates. Further, in the event of a significant change in interest rates, prepayment and early withdrawal levels would likely deviate significantly from those assumed in the table. Finally, the ability of many borrowers to service their adjustable-rate debt may decrease in the event of an interest rate increase. Gap Table

- ---------------------------------- (1) Adjustable rate loans are included in the period in which interest rates are next scheduled to adjust rather than in the period in which they are due. Fixed rate loans are included in the period in which they are scheduled to be repaid and adjusted to take into account estimated prepayments based upon assumptions estimating the prepayments in the interest rate environment prevailing during the fourth calendar quarter of 1997. The table assumes prepayments and scheduled principal amortization of fixed-rate loans and mortgage-backed securities, and assumes that adjustable rate mortgage loans will reprice at contractual repricing intervals. There has been no adjustment for the impact of future commitments and loans in process. (2) Reflects estimated prepayments in the interest rate environment prevailing during the fourth quarter of 1997 (3) Certificates of deposit are included in the period in which they are scheduled to mature. Passbook and statement savings accounts are assumed to decay at a rate of 12%, 10% and 10% for the first three years, respectively, and 12% per year thereafter. Passbook, statement savings, NOW, and MMDA accounts are generally subject to immediate withdrawal, however, management considers a portion of these accounts to be core deposits having significantly longer effective maturities based upon the Savings Bank's historical retention of such deposits in changing interest rate environments and the presentation of run off of such deposits based upon the financial industry's experience. 7 Average Balance Sheet The following tables sets forth information relating to the Corporation's average balance sheets and reflects the average yield on assets and average cost of liabilities for the periods indicated. The yields and costs are computed by dividing income or expense by the monthly average balance of interest-earning assets or interest-bearing liabilities, respectively, for the periods indicated, however, management does not believe the use of month-end balances has caused any material difference in the information presented.

This decrease was primarily as a result of the $12.5 million or 23.1% decrease in cash and cash equivalents, the $15.1 million or 60.2% decrease in securities purchased under agreements to resell, the $58.9 million or 19.0% decrease in loans receivable, partially offset by the $33.7 million or 65.8% increase in investment securities and the $5.1 million or 2.9% increase in mortgage-backed securities for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1997. The decrease in loans receivable was primarily the result of the sale of $43.6 million of mortgage loans, coupled with the normal amortization of such loans. This net decrease in assets funded the decrease in total savings deposits of $18.7 million or 4.0% at December 31, 1997 to $450.4 million from $469.1 million as of December 31, 1996, the $10.0 million or 10.2% decrease in Federal Home Loan Bank advances, along with the increase in treasury stock of $26.9 million to $41.6 million at December 31, 1997. The decrease in savings deposits was primarily the result of management's decision to price deposits less aggressively. The decrease in Federal Home Loan Bank Advances was due to maturing advances during the period. Total consolidated stockholders' equity of the Corporation decreased $22.5 million to $50.1 million at December 31, 1997 from $72.6 million at December 31, 1996. The 31.0% decrease is primarily attributed to the repurchase of shares of the Corporation's outstanding common stock, at a total cost of $27.0 million coupled with the payment of $1.4 million in dividends to shareholders, partially offset by the addition of $4.9 million of net income for the period. The decrease in total consolidated stockholders' equity coupled with the decrease of $50.9 million in total assets resulted in a decrease in consolidated stockholders' equity as a percentage of total assets to 8.4% at December 31, 1997 from 11.2 % at December 31, 1996. Comparison of Years Ended December 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996 Net Income. Net Income of $4.9 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1997 increased $1.4 million, or 40.1%, over net income of $3.5 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996. The increase in earnings is primarily due to the $917,000, or 5.0%, increase in net interest income, the $533,000, or 29.7%, increase in non-interest income and the $162,000 decrease in non-interest expense, partially offset by the $150,000 increase in income tax expense. Net interest income before provision for loan losses was $19.1 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1997 as compared to $18.2 million for the same period in 1996, an increase of $917,000, or 5.0%. Total interest income increased $4.2 million or 10.8% to $43.2 million from $39.0 million from December 31, 1996 to December 31, 1997 respectively. For these same periods, total interest expense was $24.1 million and $20.8 million, respectively, an increase of $3.3 million, or 15.8%. Non-interest income was $2.3 million and $1.8 million, respectively for these same periods, an increase of $533,000, or 29.7%. The increase in non-interest income was attributed to the gains on sale of investment securities, mortgage loans and loan servicing rights. Operating expense (non-interest expense) was $13.6 million and $13.7 million for the fiscal years ended December 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996, respectively. The decrease in operating expense was attributable to the decrease in federal deposit insurance premiums and the absence of the one-time "SAIF" assessment of $2.6 million offset by an increase in the costs associated with the operation of the branch offices acquired from Cenlar Federal Savings Bank. Total Interest Income. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 1997, total interest income increased to $43.2 million from $39.0 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996. This increase of $4.2 million, or 10.8%, is due primarily to the $3.0 million, or 108.3%, increase in income on investment securities to $5.7 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1997 from $2.7 million for the same period in 1996. This increase was also due to the $1.5 million, or 13.3%, increase in interest income on mortgage-backed securities to $12.5 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1997 from $11.0 million for the same period in 1996. The average balance of mortgage-backed securities increased $22.4 million to $185.4 million from $163.0 million while the average yield on mortgage-backed securities decreased to 6.75% from 6.77% when comparing these same periods. The increase in total interest income attributed to investment and mortgage-backed securities, $4.5 million, was partially offset by 9 the decrease in income on loans and other interest earning assets. During the same time periods the average balance of investment securities increased by $46.1 million to $90.7 million from $44.6 million, with the average yield increasing to 6.27% from 6.12%. Interest on loans declined by $66,000, or .3%, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1997 as compared to the similar period in 1996 as a result of the decrease in the average balance to $293.0 million from $298.8 million. Interest on securities purchased under agreements to resell increased to $555,000 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1997 from $160,000 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996, primarily as the result in the increase in the average balance to $9.7 million from $3.8 million for the same periods. Interest on other interest earning assets declined by $557,000 or 28.7%, to $1.4 million from $1.9 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1997 compared to the similar period ended December 31, 1996, primarily as a result of a decrease in the average yield to 4.24% from 4.52% coupled with the decrease in the average balance of other interest earning assets to $32.7 million from $43.0 million for those same periods. The increases in the average balances of mortgage-backed and investment securities are a result of the reinvestment of the cash proceeds received from the acquisition of the $137.6 million in deposit balances from Cenlar Savings Bank on September 20, 1996. Total interest expense. Total interest expense increased to $24.1 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1997 from $20.8 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996. This increase of $3.3 million, or 15.8%, in total interest expense is a result of the increase in the average balance of savings deposits to $456.3 million from $382.5 million for the fiscal years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively, together with the increase in the average rate paid to 3.99% from 3.85% for those same periods. The increase in average savings deposits was primarily the result of the acquisition of $137.6 million in deposit balances during 1996. The increase in total interest expense was partially offset by the $189,000 decrease in interest expense on Federal Home Loan Bank advances for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1997. The average balance of Federal Home Loan Bank advances decreased $4.6 million to $97.9 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1997 from $102.5 million for the same period in 1996 while the average rate paid increased to 5.99% from 5.91%. The average balance of total interest-bearing liabilities increased to $554.3 million during the fiscal year ended December 31, 1997 from $485.0 million during the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996 primarily as a result of the acquisition of $137.6 million in deposit balances. The increase in average balances of savings deposits was utilized primarily to fund the purchase of investment and mortgage-backed securities. Net Interest Income. Net interest income for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1997 increased by $917,000, or 5%, to $19.1 million from $18.2 million for the same period in 1996. This increase is primarily due to the increase in interest-earning assets partially offset by the increase to interest-bearing liabilities. The average balances of interest-earning assets increased $58.4 million or 10.6% to $611.6 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1997 from $553.2 million for the comparable period in 1996. During these same periods, the average balances on interest-bearing liabilities increased $69.3 million or 14.3% to $554.3 million from $485.0 million. The average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities increased from 4.29% to 4.34% while the yield on interest-earning assets increased from 7.05% to 7.06% for the fiscal year periods ended December 31, 1996 and 1997 respectively. Allowance for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses increased $223,000, or 12.3% to $2.0 million at December 31, 1997 from $1.8 million at December 31, 1996. Such totals correlate to non-performing loans of $1.4 million at December 31, 1997 and $2.0 million at December 31, 1996. The increase in the allowance for loan losses resulted from the addition of $397,000 to the provision for loan losses and the deduction of $174,000 of net charge offs for losses on loans. The provision for losses on loans is the method by which the allowance for losses is adjusted during the period. At December 31, 1997, the allowance for loan losses was 146.8% of non-performing loans as compared to 91.6% of non-performing loans at December 31, 1996. While management maintains its allowance for losses at a level which it considers to be adequate to provide for potential losses, there can be no assurance that further additions will not be made to the allowance and that such losses will not exceed the estimated amounts. Non-Interest Income. Total non-interest income increased $533,000, or 29.7%, to $2.3 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1997 from $1.8 million for the similar period in 1996. This increase can be attributed to the gain on the sale of loan servicing rights of $330,000, the increase in the gain on the sale of investment securities of 10 $77,000, the increase in the gain on the sale of loans of $308,000, partially offset by the decrease in other operating income of $67,000 in 1997, and the absence of the gain on the sale real estate acquired through foreclosure of $115,000 in 1996. Non-interest Expense. Total non-interest expense decreased to $13.6 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1997 as compared to $13.7 million for the similar period in 1996. This decrease of $162,000, or 1.2%, is primarily attributable to the decrease in federal deposit insurance premiums of $2.6 million offset by a $617,000 increase in employee compensation and benefits, the $520,000 increase in occupancy and equipment, the $713,000 increase in amortization of intangibles, and the $323,000 increase in other operating expense. The decrease in federal deposit insurance premiums was primarily due to the absence of the "SAIF" assessment previously discussed. The increases in compensation and benefit costs were primarily a result of increased staffing necessary to support the operation of the three branch offices associated with the acquisition of the $137.6 million of deposit balances, coupled with salary increases resulting from annual performance reviews. The increase in occupancy and equipment expenses are due to the continued operation of the three branch offices purchased from Cenlar Federal Savings Bank. The increase in amortization of intangibles was the result of the acquisition of the $137.6 million in deposit balances. The increase in other operating expenses are primarily due to costs associated with the acquisition of the three branch offices purchased from Cenlar Federal Savings Bank. Income Tax Expense. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 1997, income taxes increased to $2.6 million from $2.4 million for the same period in 1996. This increase of $150,000 is primarily attributed to the increase in net income before taxes to $7.5 million from $5.9 million for the fiscal year periods ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively, while partially offset by the reversal of certain deferred tax liabilities. Comparison of Years Ended December 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995 Net Income. Net Income of $3.5 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996 showed a $392,000 decrease over net income of $3.9 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995. The decrease in earnings for this period is primarily attributable to the one-time deposit insurance assessment totaling $2.2 million ($1.4 million after tax), partially offset by an increase in earnings in conjunction with gains associated with the sale of real estate and mortgage-backed securities. The deposit insurance assessment was the result of a one-time fee assessed to members of the Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF") for its recapitalization. Net income, absent of the $1.4 million after tax "SAIF" recapitalization assessment, was $4.8 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996, as compared to net income of $3.9 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995. This increase in net income of $.9 million to $4.8 million (absent the "SAIF" assessment), for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996, reflects a 24.9% increase over the similar period in 1995. Net interest income before provisions for loan losses was $18.2 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996 as compared to $15.2 million for the same period in 1995, an increase of $3.0 million, or 19.5%. For these same periods, total interest expense was $20.8 million and $14.4 million, respectively, an increase of $6.4 million, or 44.4%. Non-interest income was $1.8 million and $1.2 million, respectively for these same periods, an increase of 54.5%. The increase in non-interest income was attributed to the gains associated with the sale of the real estate and mortgage-backed securities along with a $207,000 increase in other operating income. Operating expense (non-interest expense) was $13.7 million and $10.0 million for the fiscal year ending December 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995, respectively. The increase in operating expense was primarily attributable to the $2.2 million "SAIF" assessment along with the costs associated with the acquisition of the $137.6 million in deposit balances, and related branch offices of Cenlar Federal Savings Bank of Trenton, New Jersey. Total Interest Income. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996, total interest income increased to $39.0 million from $29.6 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995. This increase of $9.4 million, or 31.6%, is due primarily to the increase in income on loans receivable to $23.1 million at December 31, 1996 from $11.5 million at December 31, 1995, this increase of $11.6 million, or 101.0%, was somewhat offset by the decrease in 11 income on mortgage-backed securities, investment securities and other interest earning assets. During the same time periods the average balance of loans receivable increased by $149.1 million to $298.8 million from $149.7 million, with the average yield increasing to 7.74% from 7.68%. Interest on mortgage-backed securities decreased $836,000, or (7.0%), from December 31, 1995 to December 31, 1996. The average yield on mortgage-backed securities decreased to 6.77% from 6.85%, while the average balance of mortgage-backed securities decreased by $10.3 million when comparing these two periods. Interest on investment securities declined by $1.1 million or, 29.5%, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996 as compared to the similar period in 1995 as a result of the decrease in the average balance to $44.6 million from $64.8 million for the same periods. Interest on securities purchased under agreements to resell increased to $160,000 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996 from $0 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995, primarily as the result in the increase in the average balance to $3.8 million from $0 for the same periods. Interest on other interest earning assets declined by $438,000, or 18.4%, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996 compared to the similar period ended December 31, 1995 primarily as a result of a decrease in the average yield to 4.52% at December 31, 1996 from 5.50% at December 31, 1995. The increases in the average balances of loans receivable and the decreases in the average balances of mortgage-backed securities and investment securities are a result of management's decision to increase the origination and purchase of mortgage loans. Total interest expense. Total interest expense increased to $20.8 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996 from $14.4 million for the fiscal year period ended December 31, 1995. This increase of $6.4 million, or 44.4%, in total interest expense is a result of the increase in the average balance of Federal Home Loan Bank advances to $102.5 million from $19.9 million for the fiscal years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively, coupled with the increase in the average balance of savings deposits by $44.8 million, or 13.3%, for the same periods. The increase in savings deposits was primarily result of the acquisition of $137.6 million in deposit balances. The average balance of total interest-bearing liabilities increased to $485.0 million during the fiscal years ended December 31, 1996 from $357.6 million during the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995 as a result of the increase in Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings and the acquisition of deposit balances. The increase in borrowings was utilized primarily to fund the origination or purchase of mortgage loans. Net Interest Income. Net interest income for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996 increased by $3.0 million or 19.5% to $18.2 million from $15.2 million for the same period in 1995. This increase is primarily due to the increase in interest-earning assets partially offset by the increase to interest-bearing liabilities. The average balances of interest-earning assets increased to $553.2 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996 from $431.2 million, or 28.3%, for the comparable period in 1995. During these same periods, the average balances on interest-bearing liabilities increased to $485.0 million from $357.6 million, or 35.6%. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased from 4.03% to 4.29% while the yield on interest-earning assets increased from 6.87% to 7.05% for the fiscal year periods ended December 31, 1995 and 1996 respectively. Allowance for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses increased $322,000, or 21.7% to $1.8 at December 31, 1996 from $1.5 million at December 31, 1995, as a result of increased lending activity during the period. Such totals correlate to non-performing loans of $2.0 million at December 31, 1996 and $1.8 million at December 31, 1995. The increase in the allowance for loan losses resulted from the addition of $330,000 to the provision for loan losses and the deduction of $8,000 of net charge offs for losses on loans. The provision for losses on loans is the method by which the allowance for losses is adjusted during the period. At December 31, 1996, the allowance for loan losses was 91.6% of non-performing loans as compared to 82.3% of non-performing loans at December 31, 1995. While management maintains its allowance for losses at a level which it considers to be adequate to provide for potential losses, there can be no assurance that further additions will not be made to the allowance and that such losses will not exceed the estimated amounts. Non-Interest Income. Total non-interest income increased to $1.8 million for the fiscal year period ended December 31, 1996 from $1.2 million, or 54.5%, for the similar period in 1995. This increase can be attributed to the increase in the gain on the sale of real estate acquired through foreclosure of $33,000 and an increase in the gain on the sale of mortgage-backed securities totaling $314,000. The remainder of the increase can be attributed to an 12 increase of $207,000 in service fee income, which was a result of increased loan servicing activity during the period, coupled with a $79,000 gain on the sale of loans. Non-interest Expense. Total non-interest expense increased to $13.7 million for the fiscal years ended December 31, 1996 as compared to $10.0 million for the similar period in 1995. This increase of $3.7 million, or 37.8%, is primarily attributable to the increase in federal deposit insurance premiums of $2.1 million, a $749,000 increase in employee compensation and benefits, the $62,000 increase in professional fees, the $429,000 increase in other operating costs and the increase of $244,000 in amortization of intangibles. The increase in federal deposit insurance premium was due to the "SAIF" assessment previously discussed. The increases in compensation and benefit costs were primarily a result of increased staffing necessary to support the acquisition of the three branch offices associated with the acquisition of the $137.6 million of deposit balances, coupled with salary increases resulting from annual performance reviews. Benefit costs were also increased due to the increases in costs associated with Employee Stock Ownership Plans utilizing Corporation stock (portions of the costs of benefit plans utilizing Corporation stock change as the market value of the stock changes). The increase in other operating expenses are primarily due to increases in the costs associated with current lending activities coupled with the costs associated with the continued operation of the three branch offices purchased from Cenlar Federal Savings Bank. The increase in amortization of intangibles was the result of the acquisition of the $137.6 million in deposit balances. Income Tax Expense. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996, income taxes decreased to $2.4 million from $2.5 million for the same period in 1995. This decrease of $38,000 is primarily attributed to the decrease in net income before taxes to $5.9 million from $6.3 million for the fiscal year periods ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively, primarily as a result of the SAIF assessment previously mentioned. Liquidity and Capital Resources Under current regulations, the Savings Bank must have core capital equal to 3% of total assets and risk-based capital equal to 8% of risk-weighted assets, of which 1.5% must be tangible capital, excluding goodwill and certain other intangible assets. On December 31, 1997, the Savings Bank exceeded its three regulatory capital requirements as follows: Amount Percent ------ ------- Tangible capital ............. $42,544 7.16% Tangible capital requirement . 8,902 1.50% Excess over requirement ...... $33,642 5.66% Core Capital ................. $42,544 7.16% Core Capital requirement ..... 17,804 3.00% Excess over requirement ...... $24,740 4.16% Risk based capital ........... $44,573 17.41% Risk based capital requirement 20,487 8.00% Excess over requirement ...... $24,086 9.41% 13 Management believes that under current regulations, the Savings Bank will continue to meet its minimum capital requirements in the foreseeable future. Events beyond the control of the Savings Bank, such as increased interest rates or a downturn in the economy in areas in which the Savings Bank operates, could adversely affect future earnings and as a result, the ability of the Savings Bank to meet its future minimum capital requirements. The Savings Bank's liquidity is a measure of its ability to fund loans, pay withdrawals of deposits, and other cash outflows in an efficient, cost-effective manner. The Savings Bank's primary source of funds are deposits, borrowings, and scheduled amortization and prepayment of loan and mortgage-backed security principal. During the past several years, the Savings Bank has used such funds primarily to fund maturing time deposits, pay savings withdrawals, fund lending commitments, purchase new investments, repurchase its common stock, and increase the Savings Bank's, along with the Corporation's, liquidity. The Savings Bank is currently able to fund its operations internally but has, when deemed prudent, borrowed funds from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh. As of December 31, 1997, such borrowed funds total $88.4 million. Loan prepayments, maturing investments and mortgage-backed security prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition. The Savings Bank is required under federal regulations to maintain certain specified levels of "liquid investments", which include certain United States government obligations and other approved investments. Current regulations require the Savings Bank to maintain liquid assets of not less than 4% of its net withdrawable accounts plus short term borrowings. Short term liquid assets must consist of not less than 1% of such accounts and borrowings, which amount is also included within the 4% requirement. These levels may be changed from time to time by the regulators to reflect current economic conditions. The Savings Bank has generally maintained liquidity far in excess of regulatory requirements. The Savings Bank's regulatory liquidity was 21.01%, 24.16% and 12.48% at December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively, and its short term liquidity was 11.3%, 19.8%, and 7.0%, at such dates, respectively. The amount of certificate accounts which are scheduled to mature during the twelve months ending December 31, 1998, is approximately $136.3 million. To the extent that these deposits do not remain at the Savings Bank upon maturity, the Savings Bank believes that it can replace these funds with deposits, excess liquidity, FHLB advances or other borrowings. It has been the Savings Bank's experience that substantial portions of such maturing deposits remain at the Savings Bank. At December 31, 1997, the Savings Bank had outstanding commitments to originate loans of $22.7 million. Also outstanding at December 31, 1997 were commitments to purchase $304,000 of loans from correspondents along with commitments to purchase $1.5 million of investment securities. Funds required to fill these commitments are derived primarily from current excess liquidity, deposit inflows or loan and security repayments. At December 31, 1997, the Savings Bank had outstanding commitments to sell loans of $6.9 million. Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices The consolidated financial statements and related data 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 consideration for changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time caused by inflation. Unlike industrial companies, nearly all of the assets and liabilities of a financial institution are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates have a more significant impact on a financial institution's performance than general levels of inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or in the same magnitude as the price of goods and services, since such goods and services are affected by inflation. In the current interest rate 14 environment, liquidity and the maturity structure of the Savings Bank's assets and liabilities are critical to the maintenance of acceptable performance levels. Year 2000 Issue The Corporation is utilizing both internal and external resources to identify, correct or reprogram, and test its computer systems for the year 2000 compliance. The year 2000 problem is the result of computer programs being written using two digits rather than four to define the applicable year. The Corporation presently believes that the year 2000 problem will not pose significant operational problems for the Corporation's computer systems as so modified and reprogramed. It is anticipated that all reprogramming efforts will be completed by December 31, 1998, allowing adequate time for testing. To date, confirmations have been received from the Corporation's primary processing vendors that plans are being developed to address processing of transactions in the year 2000. Management believes the year 2000 compliance expense will not have a material adverse effect on the Corporation. Other Matters On September 26, 1997 the Corporation commenced a "Modified Dutch Auction" self tender offer for the purchase of up to 900,000 shares, or approximately 22% of its 4,088,432 common shares outstanding at that time. The "Modified Dutch Auction" self tender offer expired on October 27, 1997 with shareholders tendering 1,064,083 shares or approximately 26% of the common shares outstanding. The Corporation repurchased 901,199 shares or approximately 84.5% of all shares tendered, with all shares tendered and not purchased returned to stockholders. The shares repurchased were repurchased at a price of $26.00 per share with a total cost of $23.4 million. 15 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS TF FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES December 31, 1997 and 1996 C O N T E N T S Page REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS 21 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF FINANCIAL POSITION 22 CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF EARNINGS 23 CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF CHANGES IN STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY 24 CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWS 26 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 28 Report of Independent Certified Public Accountants -------------------------------------------------- Board of Directors TF Financial Corporation We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position of TF Financial Corporation and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the related consolidated statements of earnings, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1997. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Corporation's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of TF Financial Corporation and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the consolidated results of their operations and their consolidated cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1997 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. /s/ Grant Thornton Philadelphia, Pennsylvania January 22, 1998 TF Financial Corporation and Subsidiaries CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF FINANCIAL POSITION December 31,

The accompanying notes are an integral part of these statements. 27 TF Financial Corporation and Subsidiaries NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 1997 and 1996 NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES TF Financial Corporation (TF Financial) is a unitary savings and loan holding company, organized under the laws of the State of Delaware, which conducts its consumer banking operations primarily through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Third Federal Savings Bank (Third Federal or the Bank), TF Investments Corporation (TF Investments) and Teragon, Inc. (Teragon), a mortgage banking subsidiary (collectively, "the Corporation"). Third Federal is a federally chartered stock savings bank insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Third Federal is a community-oriented savings institution which conducts operations from its main office in Newtown, Pennsylvania, ten full-service branch offices located in Philadelphia and Bucks counties, Pennsylvania, and three full-service branch offices located in Mercer County, New Jersey. The Bank competes with other banking and financial institutions in its primary market communities, including financial institutions with resources substantially greater than its own. Commercial banks, savings banks, savings and loan associations, credit unions and money market funds actively compete for savings and time deposits and loans. Such institutions, as well as consumer finance and insurance companies, may be considered competitors of the Bank with respect to one or more of the services it renders. The Bank is subject to regulations of certain state and federal agencies and, accordingly, they are periodically examined by those regulatory authorities. As a consequence of the extensive regulation of commercial banking activities, the Bank's business is particularly susceptible to being affected by state and federal legislation and regulations. 1. Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation --------------------------------------------------------------------- The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of TF Financial and its wholly-owned subsidiaries: Third Federal, TF Investments, Teragon and Penns Trail Development Corporation. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The accounting policies of the Corporation conform to generally accepted accounting principles. 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 and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The more significant accounting policies are summarized below. 2. Acquisitions ------------ On September 20, 1996, the Bank acquired three Mercer County, New Jersey offices and related deposits of Cenlar Federal Savings Bank. The Bank assumed $137.6 million in deposits in exchange for $126.5 million in cash. As a result of the acquisition, the Bank added a core deposit intangible of $2.9 million and goodwill of $6.6 million. (Continued) 28 TF Financial Corporation and Subsidiaries NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED December 31, 1997 and 1996 NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Continued The core deposit intangible acquired is being amortized on an accelerated basis over 10 years. The goodwill acquired is being amortized on a straight-line basis over 15 years. 3. Cash and Cash Equivalents ------------------------- The Corporation considers cash, due from banks, federal funds sold and interest-bearing deposits in other financial institutions, with original terms to maturity of less than three months, as cash equivalents for presentation purposes in the consolidated statements of financial position and cash flows. 4. Investment and Mortgage-Backed Securities ----------------------------------------- The Corporation accounts for investment and mortgage-backed securities in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities." This statement requires the Bank to classify its investment, mortgage-backed and marketable equity securities in one of three categories: held to maturity, trading or available for sale. The Corporation does not engage in security trading activities. Investment, mortgage-backed and marketable equity securities available for sale are stated at fair value, with net unrealized gains and losses excluded from income and reported as a separate component of stockholders' equity, net of income taxes. Realized gains and losses on the sale of securities are recognized using the specific identification method. Investment and mortgage-backed securities held to maturity are carried at cost, net of unamortized premiums and discounts, which are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the period to maturity. Mortgage-backed securities are stated at the principal amount outstanding (cost), adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of fees and discounts using the interest method. The Corporation has the ability and it is management's intention to hold such assets to maturity. 5. Loans Receivable ---------------- Loans receivable are stated at unpaid principal balances less the allowance for loan losses and net deferred loan origination fees and unamortized premiums. Loan origination fees and unamortized premiums on mortgage loans are amortized to income using the interest method over the remaining period to contractual maturity, adjusted for actual prepayments. Management's periodic evaluation of the adequacy of the loan loss allowance is based on the Bank's historical loss experience, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower's ability to repay, the estimated value of any underlying collateral and current economic conditions. Actual losses may be higher or lower than historical trends, which vary. The allowance for loan losses is increased by charges to income and decreased by charge-offs (net of recoveries). (Continued) 29 TF Financial Corporation and Subsidiaries NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED December 31, 1997 and 1996 NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Continued Uncollectible interest on loans that are contractually past due is charged off, or an allowance is established based on management's periodic evaluation. The allowance is established by a charge to interest income equal to all interest previously accrued, and income is subsequently recognized only to the extent that cash payments are received until, in management's judgment, the borrower's ability to make periodic interest and principal payments is back to normal, in which case the loan is returned to accrual status. The Corporation accounts for loans in accordance with SFAS No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan," as amended by SFAS No. 118, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan - Income Recognition and Disclosures." 6. Premises and Equipment ---------------------- Land is carried at cost. Buildings and furniture, fixtures and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. On January 1, 1996, the Corporation adopted SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of," which provides guidance on when to recognize and how to measure impairment losses of long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles and how to value long-lived assets to be disposed of. The adoption of SFAS No. 121 did not have a material impact on the Corporation's consolidated financial position or results of operations. 7. Mortgage Servicing Rights ------------------------- On January 1, 1997, the Corporation adopted SFAS No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities," as amended by SFAS No. 127, "Deferral of the Effective Date of Certain Provisions of SFAS No. 125." SFAS No. 125 applies a control-oriented, financial components approach to financial asset transfer transactions whereby the Corporation: (1) recognizes the financial and servicing assets it controls and the liabilities it has incurred; (2) derecognizes financial assets when control has been surrendered; and (3) derecognizes liabilities once they are extinguished. Under SFAS No. 125, control is considered to have been surrendered only if: (i) the transferred assets have been isolated from the transferor and its creditors, even in bankruptcy or other receivership; (ii) the transferee has the right to pledge or exchange the transferred assets or is a qualifying special-purpose entity, and the holders of beneficial interests in that entity have the right to pledge or exchange those interests; and (iii) the transferor does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement which both entitles and obligates it to repurchase or redeem those assets prior to maturity, or through an agreement which both entitles it to repurchase or redeem those assets if they were not readily obtainable elsewhere. If any of these conditions are not met, the Corporation accounts for the transfer as a secured borrowing. The adoption of this statement did not have a material impact on the Corporation's consolidated financial position or results of operations. (Continued) 30 TF Financial Corporation and Subsidiaries NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED December 31, 1997 and 1996 NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Continued 8. Benefit Plans ------------- The Corporation has established an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) covering eligible employees with one year of service, as defined by the ESOP. The Corporation accounts for the ESOP in accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants' Statement of Position (SOP) 93-6, "Employers' Accounting for Employee Stock Ownership Plans." SOP 93-6 addresses the accounting for shares of stock issued to employees by an ESOP. SOP 93-6 requires that the employer record compensation expense in the amount equal to the fair value of shares committed to be released from the ESOP to employees. In addition, the Corporation established a Management Stock Bonus Plan (MSBP) for key directors and personnel. On January 1, 1996, the Corporation adopted SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," which contains a fair value-based method for valuing stock-based compensation that entities may use, which measures compensation cost at the grant date based on the fair value of the award. Compensation is then recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period. Alternatively, the standard permits entities to continue accounting for employee stock options and similar instruments under Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." Entities that continue to account for stock options using APB Opinion No. 25 are required to make pro forma disclosures of net income and earnings per share, as if the fair value-based method of accounting defined in SFAS No. 123 had been applied. The Corporation's employee stock option plan is accounted for under APB Opinion No. 25. 9. Income Taxes ------------ The Corporation accounts for income taxes under the liability method specified in SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." Under SFAS No. 109, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences of "temporary differences" by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities.

(Continued) 31 TF Financial Corporation and Subsidiaries NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED December 31, 1997 and 1996 NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Continued 11. Earnings Per Share ------------------ On December 15, 1997, the Corporation adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share." SFAS No. 128 eliminates primary and fully diluted earnings per share and requires presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share in conjunction with the disclosure of the methodology used in computing such earnings per share. Basic earnings per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share takes into account the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised and converted into common stock. Prior periods' earnings per share calculations have been restated to reflect the adoption of SFAS No. 128. 12. New Financial Accounting Standards ---------------------------------- In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income," which is effective for years beginning after December 15, 1997. This new statement requires entities presenting a complete set of financial statements to include details of comprehensive income. Comprehensive income consists of net income or loss for the current period and income, expenses, gains, and losses that bypass the income statement and are reported directly in a separate component of equity. The adoption of SFAS No. 130 will not have a material impact on the Corporation's consolidated financial position or results of operations. In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information," which is effective for all periods beginning after December 15, 1997. SFAS No. 131 requires that public business enterprises report certain information about operating segments in complete sets of financial statements of the enterprise and in condensed financial statements of interim periods issued to shareholders. It also requires that public business enterprises report certain information about their products and services, the geographic areas in which they operate, and their major customers. 13.

NOTE C - SECURITIES PURCHASED UNDER AGREEMENTS TO RESELL The Bank enters into purchases of mortgage-backed securities under agreements to resell substantially identical securities. Securities purchased under agreements to resell at December 31, 1997 and 1996 consist of mortgage-backed securities. The amounts advanced under these agreements represent short-term loans and are reflected as a receivable in the consolidated statement of financial position. The securities underlying the agreements are book-entry securities. During the year, the securities were delivered by appropriate entry into a third-party custodian's account designated by the Bank under a written custodial agreement that explicitly recognizes the Bank's interest in the securities. At December 31, 1997 and 1996, these agreements matured within 30 days and substantially all agreements to resell securities purchased were outstanding with one dealer. Securities purchased under agreements to resell averaged $9.7 million and $3.8 million during 1997 and 1996, respectively, and the maximum amounts outstanding at any month-end during 1997 and 1996 was $25.3 million and $25.1 million, respectively. 33 TF Financial Corporation and Subsidiaries NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED December 31, 1997 and 1996 NOTE D - INVESTMENT AND MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES The amortized cost, gross unrealized gains and losses, and estimated market value of the Corporation's investment and mortgage-backed securities at December 31, 1997 and 1996 are summarized as follows:

Of such amounts, approximately $800,000 at December 31, 1997 and 1996 are residential mortgage loans secured by one-to-four family residences for which management has experienced insignificant charge-offs. Interest income that would have been recorded under the original terms of such loans totalled approximately $19,000, $30,000 and $49,000 for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. No interest income has been recognized on non-accrual loans for any of the periods presented. The Corporation accounts for loans in accordance with SFAS No. 114, as amended by SFAS No. 118. SFAS No. 114 requires that a creditor measure impairment based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, except that as a practical expedient, a creditor may measure impairment based on a loan's observable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. Regardless of the measurement method, a creditor must measure impairment based on the fair value of the collateral when the creditor determines that foreclosure is probable. SFAS No. 118 allows creditors to use existing methods for recognizing interest income on impaired loans. The Bank has identified a loan as impaired when it is probable that interest and principal will not be collected according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. The accrual of interest is discontinued on such loans and cash payments received are applied to reduce principal to the extent necessary to eliminate any doubt as to the ultimate collectibility of principal either in whole or in part. (Continued) 38 TF Financial Corporation and Subsidiaries NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED December 31, 1997 and 1996 NOTE E - LOANS RECEIVABLE - Continued Loan impairment is measured by estimating the expected future cash flows and discounting them at the respective effective interest rate or by valuing the underlying collateral. An allowance for credit losses has been established for all loans identified as impaired.

Total cash collected on impaired loans during the year ended December 31, 1997 was $447,000, of which $434,000 was credited to the principal balance outstanding on such loans and $13,000 was recognized as interest income. Interest that would have been accrued on impaired loans during the year was $43,000. Total cash collected on impaired loans during the year ended December 31, 1996 was $300,000, of which $253,000 was credited to the principal balance outstanding on such loans and $47,000 was recognized as interest income. Interest that would have been accrued on impaired loans during the year was $46,000. The Bank has no concentration of loans to borrowers engaged in similar activities which exceeded 10% of total loans at December 31, 1997 and 1996. In the ordinary course of business, the Bank has granted loans to certain executive officers, directors and their related interests. Related party loans are made on substantially the same terms as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with unrelated persons and do not involve more than the normal risk of collectibility. The aggregate dollar amount of these loans was approximately $493,000 and $511,000 at December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 1997, principal repayments of approximately $18,000 were received and no funds were disbursed to executive officers, directors or their related interests. 39 TF Financial Corporation and Subsidiaries NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED December 31, 1997 and 1996 NOTE F - LOAN SERVICING Mortgage loans serviced for others are not included in the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position.

NOTE J - BENEFIT PLANS The Bank has a non-contributory defined benefit pension plan covering substantially all full-time employees meeting certain eligibility requirements. The benefits are based on each employee's years of service and an average earnings formula. An employee becomes fully vested upon completion of five years of qualifying service. It is the policy of the Bank to fund the maximum amount allowable under the individual aggregate cost method to the extent deductible under existing federal income tax regulations. Additionally, the Bank maintains a profit-sharing plan for eligible employees. Profit-sharing contributions are at the discretion of the Board of Directors.

Employee Stock Ownership Plan ----------------------------- In 1994, the Corporation established an internally leveraged ESOP for eligible employees who have completed six months of service with the Corporation or its subsidiaries. In July 1994, the ESOP borrowed $4.2 million from the Corporation to purchase 423,200 newly issued shares of common stock. The Corporation makes discretionary contributions to the ESOP in order to service the ESOP's debt. Any dividends received by the ESOP will be used to pay debt service. The ESOP shares initially were pledged as collateral for its debt. As the debt is repaid, shares are released from collateral and allocated to qualifying employees based on the proportion of debt service paid in the year. The Corporation accounts for its ESOP in accordance with SOP 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 consolidated statements of financial position. As shares are released from collateral, the Corporation reports compensation expense equal to the current market price of the shares, and the allocated shares are included in outstanding shares for earnings per share computations. Dividends on allocated ESOP shares will be recorded as a reduction of retained earnings; dividends on unallocated ESOP shares will be recorded as a reduction of debt and accrued interest. ESOP compensation expense was $351,000, $450,000 and $435,000 in 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

Management Stock Bonus Plan --------------------------- The Board of Directors also adopted a MSBP which was approved by the Corporation's stockholders on October 13, 1994. The MSBP provides that up to 211,600 shares of common stock may be granted, at the discretion of the Board, to key directors and officers at no cost to the individuals. The Corporation granted 178,292 shares on November 18, 1994, 24,000 shares on December 18, 1995, and 9,308 shares on December 15, 1996 in the form of restricted stock payable over five years from the date of grant. The recipients of the restricted stock are entitled to all voting and other stockholder rights, except that the shares, while restricted, may not be sold, pledged or otherwise disposed of and are required to be held in escrow. In the event the recipient terminates association with the Corporation for reasons other than death, disability or change in control, the recipient forfeits all rights to the allocated shares under restriction which are cancelled and revert to the Corporation for reissuance under the plan. Shares acquired by MSBP of $2.1 million were recorded at the date of award based on the market value of shares acquired by the Corporation. Shares acquired by the MSBP, which are shown as a separate component of stockholders' equity, are being amortized to expense over the five-year vesting period; $458,000, $432,000 and $483,000 was amortized to expense in 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. At December 31, 1997, there were no shares reserved for future grants under the plan. 3. Stock Option Plans ------------------ The Corporation has fixed stock option plans accounted for under APB Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations. The plans allow the Corporation to grant options to employees and directors for up to 794,000 shares of common stock. The options, which have a term of 10 years when issued, vest either immediately or over a three to five year period. The exercise price of each option equals the market price of the Corporation's stock on the date of grant. Had compensation cost for the plans been determined based on the fair value of options at the grant dates consistent with the method of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," the Corporation's net income and earnings per share would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated below. 1997 1996 1995 ---- ---- ---- Net income As reported $ 4,874 $ 3,479 $ 3,871 Pro forma $ 4,726 $ 3,365 $ 3,871 Basic earnings per share As reported $ 1.33 $ 0.86 $ 0.84 Pro forma $ 1.29 $ 0.83 $ 0.83 Diluted earnings per share As reported $ 1.25 $ 0.83 $ 0.83 Pro forma $ 1.21 $ 0.80 $ 0.83 (Continued) 45 TF Financial Corporation and Subsidiaries NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED December 31, 1997 and 1996 NOTE J - BENEFIT PLANS - Continued These pro forma amounts may not be representative of future disclosures because they do not take into effect the pro forma compensation expense related to grants before 1995. 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 used for grants in 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively: no dividend yield for all years; expected volatility of 21%, 12.1% and 12.1%; risk-free interest rate of 6.4%, 6.4% and 5.7%; and expected lives of five years for all options. A summary of the status of the Corporation's fixed stock option plans as of December 31, 1997, and changes for each of the years in the three years then ended was as follows:

No valuation allowance was recorded against deferred tax assets at December 31, 1997 and 1996. The Corporation's net deferred tax asset at December 31, 1997 and 1996 was comprised of the following: December 31, ------------ 1997 1996 ---- ---- (in thousands) Deferred tax assets Deferred loan origination fees $130 $154 Deferred compensation 135 112 Accrued pension expense 68 68 Amortization 123 -- Unrealized loss on securities available for sale -- 81 ---- ---- 456 415 ---- ---- Deferred tax liabilities Allowance for loan losses, net 37 148 Unrealized gain on securities available for sale 108 -- ---- ---- 145 148 ---- ---- Deferred tax asset $311 $267 ==== ==== The Corporation files its income tax returns on the basis of a fiscal tax year ending June 30. Prior to 1996, the Bank was permitted to deduct a percentage of its taxable income as an addition to a bad debt reserve for tax purposes regardless of the Bank's charge-off experience. This special deduction was repealed for taxable years following 1995. The Bank is now required to compute its bad debt deductions for tax purposes using the specific charge-off method. Moreover, the Bank is required, beginning in 1998, to recapture approximately $2.4 million of its total tax bad debt reserve of approximately $8.1 million into taxable income over a four-year period. Deferred tax liabilities have been accrued in respect of the amount of the reserve to be recaptured. The Bank is not required to recapture approximately $5.7 million of its tax bad debt reserve, attributable to bad debt deductions taken by it prior to 1988, as long as the Bank continues to operate as a bank under federal tax law and does not use the reserve for any other purpose. In accordance with SFAS No. 109, the Bank has not recorded any deferred tax liability on this portion of its tax bad debt reserve. The tax that would be paid were the Bank ultimately required to recapture that portion of the reserve would amount to approximately $1.9 million.

Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory - and possible additional discretionary - actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Corporation's consolidated financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank's assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Corporation's capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. Such minimum capital standards generally require the maintenance of regulatory capital sufficient to meet each of three tests, hereinafter described as the tangible capital requirement, the core capital requirement and the risk-based capital requirement. The tangible capital requirement provides for minimum tangible capital (defined as stockholders' equity less all intangible assets) equal to 1.5% of adjusted total assets. The core capital requirement provides for minimum core capital (tangible capital plus certain forms of supervisory goodwill and other qualifying intangible assets) equal to 3% of adjusted total assets. (Continued) 49 TF Financial Corporation and Subsidiaries NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED December 31, 1997 and 1996 NOTE L - REGULATORY MATTERS - Continued As of December 31, 1997, management believes that the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which it was subject to.

(Continued) 51 TF Financial Corporation and Subsidiaries NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED December 31, 1997 and 1996 NOTE L - REGULATORY MATTERS - Continued At December 31, 1997, the Bank met all regulatory requirements for classification as a "well-capitalized" institution. A "well-capitalized" institution must have risk-based capital of 10% and core capital of 5%. The Bank's capital exceeded the minimum required amounts for classification as a "well-capitalized" institution by $19 million and $13 million, respectively. There are no conditions or events which have occurred that management believes have changed the Bank's classification as a "well-capitalized" institution. On September 30, 1996, the President signed into law the Deposit Insurance Funds Act of 1996 to recapitalize the Savings Association Insurance Fund (SAIF) administered by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and to provide for the repayment of Financial Institution Collateral Obligation (FICO) bonds issued by the United States Treasury Department. Pursuant to this law, the FDIC levied a one-time special assessment of SAIF deposits equal to $0.657 per $100 of the SAIF-assessable deposit base as of March 31, 1995. Based on the Bank's deposits as of March 31, 1995, the Bank paid a special assessment of $2.2 million to recapitalize the SAIF. This expense was accrued for in the third quarter of 1996. During 1998, 1999 and 2000, the Bank Insurance Funds (BIF) will pay $322 million of FICO debt service, and SAIF will pay $458 million. During 1998, 1999 and 2000, the average regular annual deposit insurance assessment is estimated at $0.0129 per $100 of deposits for BIF deposits and $0.0644 per $100 of deposits for SAIF deposits. Individual institution assessments will continue to vary according to their capital and management ratings. As always, the FDIC will be able to raise the assessments as necessary to maintain the funds at their target capital ratios provided by law. After 2000, BIF and SAIF will share the FICO cost equally. Under current estimates, BIF and SAIF assessment bases would each be assessed at the rate of approximately $0.024 per $100 of deposits. The Bank maintains a liquidation account for the benefit of eligible savings account holders who maintained deposit accounts in the Bank after the Bank converted to a stock form of ownership. The Bank may not declare or pay a cash dividend on or repurchase any of its common shares if the effect thereof would cause the Bank's stockholders' equity to be reduced below either the amount required for the liquidation account or the regulatory capital requirements for insured institutions. NOTE M - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE-SHEET RISK The Corporation is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers and to reduce its own exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit, interest rate caps and floors written. Such financial instruments are recorded in the consolidated financial statements when they become payable. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated statements of financial position. The contract or notional amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of the Bank's involvement in particular classes of financial instruments. (Continued) 52 TF Financial Corporation and Subsidiaries NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED December 31, 1997 and 1996 NOTE M - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE-SHEET RISK - Continued The Corporation's exposure to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual notional amount of those instruments. The Corporation uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments. Unless noted otherwise, the Corporation requires collateral to support financial instruments with credit risk. Financial instruments, the contract or notional amounts of which represent credit risk, are as follows: December 31, ----------------- 1997 1996 ------- ------- (in thousands) Commitments to extend credit $22,720 $24,858 Commitments to purchase loans 304 2,852 Standby letters of credit 787 819 Loans sold with recourse 572 587 ------- ------- $24,383 $29,116 ======= ======= 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 Corporation evaluates each customer's creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if it is deemed necessary by the Corporation upon extension of credit, is based on management's credit evaluation of the counterparty. Collateral held generally includes residential and some commercial property. Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. Typically, the Bank issues letters of credit to other financial institutions and generally does not require collateral for standby letters of credit. NOTE N - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES The Bank had commitments to sell mortgage loans to investors of $6.9 million and $4.7 million outstanding at December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The Bank leases branch facilities for periods ranging up to seven years. These leases are classified as operating leases and contain options to renew for additional periods. Rental expense was approximately $296,000, $229,000 and $193,000 for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. (Continued) 53 TF Financial Corporation and Subsidiaries NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED December 31, 1997 and 1996 NOTE N - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES - Continued The minimum annual rental commitments of the Bank under all non-cancellable leases with terms of one year or more are as follows: Year ending December 31, ------------------------ 1998 $ 230 1999 52 2000 35 ----------- $ 317 =========== The Bank has a five-year contract with a third-party computer processing center which expires in 2002 with an annual commitment of approximately $109,000. The Corporation has employment agreements with certain key executives that provide severance pay benefits if there is a change in control of the Corporation. The agreements will continue in effect on a year-to-year basis until terminated or not renewed by the Corporation or key executives. Upon a change in control, the Corporation shall continue to pay the key executives' salary per the agreements and certain benefits for one year. The maximum contingent liability under the agreements at December 31, 1997 was $1,486,973. From time to time, the Corporation and its subsidiaries are parties to routine litigation, which arises in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, the resolution of these lawsuits would not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position or results of operations. NOTE O - SIGNIFICANT GROUP CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK The Bank is principally engaged in originating and investing in one-to-four family residential real estate loans in eastern Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The Bank offers both fixed and adjustable rates of interest on these loans which have amortization terms ranging to 30 years. The loans are generally originated on the basis of an 80% loan-to-value ratio, which has historically provided the Bank with more than adequate collateral coverage in the event of default. Nevertheless, the Bank, as with any lending institution, is subject to the risk that residential real estate values in the primary lending area will deteriorate, thereby potentially impairing collateral values in the primary lending area. However, management believes that residential real estate values are presently stable in its primary lending area and that loan loss allowances have been provided for in amounts commensurate with its current perception of the foregoing risks in the portfolio. 54 TF Financial Corporation and Subsidiaries NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED December 31, 1997 and 1996 NOTE P - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS SFAS No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments," requires all entities to disclose the estimated fair value of their assets and liabilities considered to be financial instruments. For the Bank, as for most financial institutions, the majority of its assets and liabilities are considered financial instruments as defined in SFAS No. 107. However, many such instruments lack an available trading market as characterized by a willing buyer and willing seller engaging in an exchange transaction. Also, it is the Corporation's general practice and intent to hold its financial instruments to maturity or available for sale and to not engage in trading or significant sales activities. Therefore, the Corporation and the Bank had to use significant estimations and present value calculations to prepare this disclosure. Changes in the assumptions or methodologies used to estimate fair values may materially affect the estimated amounts. Also, management is concerned that there may not be reasonable comparability between institutions due to the wide range of permitted assumptions and methodologies in the absence of active markets. This lack of uniformity gives rise to a high degree of subjectivity in estimating financial instrument fair values. Fair values have been estimated using data which management considered the best available, as generally provided by estimation methodologies deemed suitable for the pertinent category of financial instrument. The estimation methodologies, resulting fair values and recorded carrying amounts are as follows: Fair value of loans and deposits with floating interest rates is generally presumed to approximate the recorded carrying amounts. Fair value of financial instruments actively traded in a secondary market has been estimated using quoted market prices.

Under the Rights Plan, the Corporation distributed a dividend of one Preferred Share Purchase Right (a Right) for each share of outstanding common stock. The rights are currently not exercisable and will expire on November 22, 2005, unless the expiration date is extended or unless the Rights are earlier redeemed by the Corporation. (Continued) 57 TF Financial Corporation and Subsidiaries NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED December 31, 1997 and 1996 NOTE R - SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS PLAN - Continued After the Rights become exercisable, under certain circumstances, the Rights (other than rights held by a 15% beneficial owner or an "acquiring person") will entitle the holders to purchase one one-hundredth of a share of a new series of junior participating preferred stock at an exercise price of $45 or purchase either the Corporation's common shares or the common shares of the potential acquirer at a substantially reduced price. The Corporation is entitled to redeem the Rights at $0.01 per Right prior to the acquisition by a person or group of beneficial ownership of 15% or more of the Corporation's common stock. Following the acquisition by a person or group of beneficial ownership of 15% or more of the Corporation's common stock and prior to an acquisition of 50% or more, the Board of Directors may exchange the Rights (other than Rights owned by such person or group), in whole or in part, at an exchange ratio of one share of common stock (or one one-hundredth of a share of the new series of junior participating preferred stock) per Right. The Rights Plan was not adopted in response to any specific effort to acquire control of the Corporation. The issuance of rights has no dilutive effect, did not affect the Corporation's reported earnings per share, and was not taxable to the Corporation or its shareholders.
