For all securities that are in an unrealized loss position for an extended
period of time, we perform an evaluation of the specific events attributable to
the market decline of the security. We consider the length of time and extent to
which the security's market value has been below its cost as well as the general
market conditions, industry characteristics and the fundamental operating
results of the issuer to determine if the decline is due to changes in interest
rates, changes relating to a decline in credit quality of the issuer or general
market conditions. We also consider as part of the evaluation our intent and
ability to hold the security until its market value has recovered to a level at
least equal to the amortized cost. Where we determine that a security's
unrealized loss is other than temporary, a realized loss is recognized in the
period in which the decline in value is determined to be other than temporary.

6. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic net income per share is based upon the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding, while diluted net income per share is based
upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and
common share equivalents that would arise from the exercise of dilutive
securities. All dilutive shares consist of options the exercise price
of which is lower than the market price of the common stock covered
thereby at the dates presented.

The calculated basic and diluted earnings per share ("EPS") is as
follows:

7. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company applies APB Opinion No. 25 in accounting for stock options.
Since the exercise price of the options equaled the fair value of the
common stock covered thereby at the date of grant, no compensation
expense has been recognized in the financial statements. Had the
Company determined compensation expense based on the fair value at the
grant date for its stock option in accordance with the fair value
method set forth in SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation," the Company's net income and earnings per share would
have been reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated below.

8. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
FIN No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities." In December
2003, the FASB issued a revision of FIN 46 (FIN 46(R)). The Interpretation
clarifies the application of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51,
"Consolidated Financial Statements," to certain entities in which equity
investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial
interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to
finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support
from other parties. The Company has participated in the issue of trust
preferred securities through trusts established for such purpose. These
trusts are subject to the requirements of FIN No. 46 and FIN No. 46(R).
Effective December 31, 2003, the Company adopted this statement requiring
the Company to deconsolidate the trust preferred security trusts. The
Company previously classified its trust preferred securities after total
liabilities and before stockholders' equity on the Consolidated Statement
of Financial Condition. Under the provisions of FIN No. 46 and FIN No.
46(R), these securities were reclassified as borrowed funds effective
December 31, 2003. Additionally, the related dividends were reclassified
from non-interest expense and included in interest expense in the
Consolidated Statement of Income. Reclassifications of prior period
amounts were made to conform to this presentation. The adoption of FIN No.
46 and FIN No. 46(R) did not have a material impact on the Company's
financial statements.

In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, "Accounting for Certain
Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and
Equity." This statement requires that certain financial instruments, which
previously could be designated as equity, now be classified as liabilities
on the balance sheet. The adoption of SFAS No. 150 did not have a material
impact on the Company's financial statements.

In March 2004, the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") reached a
consensus regarding EITF 03-1, "The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary
Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments." The consensus
provides guidance for evaluating whether an investment is
other-than-temporarily impaired. Disclosures about unrealized losses that
have not been recognized as other-than-temporary impairments that were
required under an earlier EITF 03-1 consensus remain in effect. The EITF
03-1 guidance for determining other-than-temporary impairment is effective
for the Company's fiscal year ending September 30, 2004. The determination
of whether a decline in market value is other-than-temporary is
necessarily a matter of subjective judgment. The timing and amount of any
realized losses reported in the Company's financial statements could vary
if management's conclusions were to change as to whether an
other-than-temporary impairment exists. The Company's management is still
in the process of evaluating the impact of applying EITF 03-1 on the
Company's financial statements.

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

In addition to historical information, this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
includes certain "forward-looking statements" based on management's current
expectations. The Company's actual results could differ materially, as defined
in the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, from
management's expectations. Such forward-looking statements include statements
regarding management's current intentions, beliefs or expectations as well as
the assumptions on which such statements are based. These forward-looking
statements are subject to significant business, economic and competitive
uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are not subject to the Company's
control. Stockholders and potential stockholders are cautioned that any such
forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve
risks and uncertainties, and that actual results may differ materially from
those contemplated by such forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause
future results to vary from current management expectations include, but are not
limited to, general economic conditions, legislative and regulatory changes,
changes in monetary and fiscal policies of the federal government, changes in
tax policies, rates and regulations of federal, state and local tax authorities,
changes in interest rates, deposit flows, the cost of funds, the demand for loan
products, the demand for financial services, competition, changes in the quality
or composition of the Company's loan and investment portfolios, changes in
accounting principles, policies or guidelines, availability and cost of energy
resources and other economic, competitive, governmental and technological
factors affecting the Company's operations, markets, products, services and
fees.

The Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking
statements to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated
events or changes to future operating results that occur subsequent to the date
such forward-looking statements are made.

GENERAL

First Keystone Financial, Inc. is a Pennsylvania corporation and sole
stockholder of First Keystone Bank, a federally chartered stock savings bank
(the "Bank"), which converted to the stock form of organization in January 1995.
The Bank is a community oriented bank emphasizing customer service and
convenience. The Bank's primary business is attracting deposits from the general
public and using those funds together with other available sources of funds,
primarily borrowings, to originate loans. The Bank's management remains focused
on its long-term strategic plan to continue to shift its loan composition toward
commercial business, construction and home equity loans and lines of credit in
order to provide a higher yielding portfolio with generally shorter terms.

COMPARISON OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AT JUNE 30, 2004 AND SEPTEMBER 30, 2003

Total assets of the Company increased $5.3 million from $559.6 million at
September 30, 2003 to $564.9 million at June 30, 2004. Investments and
mortgage-related securities held to maturity increased in the aggregate to $42.3
million from $9.8 million at September 30, 2003 mainly due to the Company's
strategy to reinvest the cash flows from the securities available for sale
portfolio into the securities held to maturity portfolio in order to minimize
the effect of price volatility on the Company's financial statements resulting
from available for sale securities. As a result, the available for sale
portfolio decreased by $31.5 million to $170.9 million at June 30, 2004. Loans
receivable increased to $297.6 million from $286.4 million at September 30, 2003
resulting from increases in multi-family and commercial real estate loans and
home equity loans and lines of credit partially offset by a decline in
single-family residential loans. Loans held for sale decreased $4.3 million due
to management's reevaluation of the Company's asset liability position and
decision to retain in its residential loan portfolio $4.2 million of the loans
originally intended to be sold in the secondary market.

- 12 -


Total liabilities increased $9.5 million, or 1.8%, from $527.2 million at
September 30, 2003 to $536.8 million at June 30, 2004 primarily due to increases
in borrowings partially offset by a decrease in deposits. Deposits decreased
$12.7 million, or 3.5%, from $362.6 million at September 30, 2003 to $349.9
million at June 30, 2004. The decrease is attributable to a $12.4 million, or
7.0%, decline in certificates of deposits reflecting the Company's strategy of
conservatively pricing the Company certificate of deposits resulting in
increased disintermediation at maturity. At June 30, 2004, core deposits (which
consist of passbook, money market, NOW and non-interest bearing accounts)
slightly decreased to $183.8 million, or 52.5%, of the Company's deposit
portfolio from $184.1 million or 50.8% of total deposits at September 30, 2003.
Borrowings increased $21.5 million, or 15.8%, as a result of advances from the
Federal Home Loan Bank.

Stockholders' equity decreased by $4.2 million, or 13.0 %, to $28.2 million due
to a combination of a $2.9 million decrease in the accumulated other
comprehensive income, the cost of repurchasing 51,092 shares of common stock as
part of the Company's buyback program, the purchasing of 86,658 shares for the
Company's employee stock ownership plan and the payment of dividends totaling
$631,000, partially offset by net income of $2.0 million.

COMPARISON OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30,
2004 AND 2003

NET INCOME.

Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 was $627,000, or $.32 per diluted
share, a decrease of $38,000, or 5.7%, as compared to net income of $665,000, or
$.33 per diluted share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2003. Net income for the
nine months ended June 30, 2004 was $2.0 million, or $1.02 per diluted share, a
decrease of $143,000, or 6.7%, as compared to $2.1 million, or $1.05 per diluted
share, for the same period in 2003.

NET INTEREST INCOME.

Net interest income increased $297,000, or 11.3%, to $2.9 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2004 compared to the same period in 2003 primarily due to
a decrease in interest expense of $407,000, or 10.2% for the three months ended
June 30, 2004 which was partially offset by an $110,000, or 1.7%, decrease in
interest income during such period. Calculated on a tax-equivalent basis, the
decrease in interest expense was affected by a 44 basis point decrease in the
average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities offset, in part, by an
increase of $22.1 million, or 4.4%, in the average balance of such liabilities.
The decrease in interest income was primarily due to a 25 basis point (on a
tax-equivalent basis) decrease in the weighted yield earned on the Company's
interest-earning assets, partially offset by a $16.1 million, or 3.1%, increase
in the average balance of interest-earning assets. The increase in net interest
income reflected the slowdown of prepayment speeds of mortgage-related
securities as market rates of interest increased resulting in lower premium
amortizations combined with the Company's weighted average cost of
interest-bearing liabilities continuing to decrease more rapidly than the yield
on interest-earning assets.

Net interest income decreased $96,000, or 1.1%, to $8.6 million for the nine
months ended June 30, 2004 compared to the same period in 2003. The decrease was
primarily due to a decrease in interest income of $1.2 million, or 5.9%, for the
nine months ended June 30, 2004 partially offset by a $1.1 million, or 9.3%,
decrease in interest expense during such period. Calculated on a tax-equivalent
basis, the decrease in interest income was attributable to a 61 basis point
decrease in the weighted yield earned on Company's interest-earning assets
offset, in part, by an increase of $27.1 million, or 5.4%, in the average
balance of such assets. The decrease in interest expense was primarily due to a
49 basis point (on a tax-equivalent basis) decrease in the weighted average rate
paid on the Company's interest-bearing liabilities, partially offset by a $31.2
million, or 6.5%, increase in the average balance of such liabilities.

- 13 -


The adjustment of tax exempt securities to a tax equivalent yield in the table
below may be considered to include non-GAAP financial information. Management
believes that it is a common practice in the banking industry to present net
interest margin, net interest rate spread and net interest income on a fully tax
equivalent basis when a significant proportion of interest-earning assets are
tax-free. Therefore, management believes, these measures provide useful
information to investors by allowing them to make peer comparisons. A GAAP
reconciliation is included below.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES.

Provisions for loan losses are charged to earnings to maintain the total
allowance for loan losses at a level believed by management to cover all known
and inherent losses in the loan portfolio which are both probable and reasonably
estimable. Management's analysis includes consideration of the Company's
historical experience, the volume and type of lending conducted by the Company,
the amount of the Company's classified assets, the status of past due principal
and interest payments, general economic conditions, particularly as they relate
to the Company's primary market area, and other factors related to the
collectibility of the Company's loan and loans held for sale portfolios. The
Company's provision for loan losses decreased to $75,000 for the three months
ended June 30, 2004 as compared to $195,000 for the same period in 2003. For the
nine months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, the provision for loan losses amounted
to $225,000 and $585,000, respectively. The decreases in the provision were due
to the Company's overall asset quality.

- 16 -


At June 30, 2004, non-performing assets increased slightly to $3.1 million, or
0.55% to total assets, from $3.0 million at September 30, 2003. Included in
non-performing assets is $1.3 million of real estate owned consisting primarily
of a $1.1 million commercial real estate property. This commercial real estate
property is a 25% participation interest in an 18-hole golf course and a golf
house located in Avondale, Pennsylvania. In April 2004, the lead lender has
agreed on terms to sell the property and property is currently scheduled for
August settlement. Presently, the Bank expects no further loss upon the sale of
this property.

The coverage ratio, which is the ratio of the allowance for loan losses to
non-performing loans, was 116.49% and 127.63% at June 30, 2004 and September 30,
2003, respectively. Management continues to review its loan portfolio to
determine the extent, if any, to which further additional loss provisions may be
deemed necessary. There can be no assurance that the allowance for losses will
be adequate to cover losses which may in fact be realized in the future and that
additional provisions for losses will not be required.

NON-INTEREST INCOME.

Non-interest income decreased $433,000 to $575,000 for the three months ended
June 30, 2004 as compared to the same period last year. The decrease was
primarily the result of a $202,000 decrease in the gain on sales of investment
securities. The Company's sales activity was significantly higher in 2003 due to
favorable market conditions which existed in such year. In addition, the cash
surrender value of certain insurance policies held by the Bank decreased
$191,000 due to a decline in the values in the underlying investment of equity
securities compared to the same period last year. With the slowdown in the
refinance market, the gain on sales of loans held for sale decreased $144,000
compared to the same period last year. Non-interest income increased $1.6
million to $3.8 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2004 in comparison to
the same period last year. Increases in income of $1.2 million and $741,000 were
recognized from the sale of investment and mortgage-related securities and other
non-interest income, respectively, partially offset by a $324,000 decrease in
the gain on sales of loans held for sale. The gain on the sales of investment
securities reflected primarily the proceeds from the sale or exchange of the
securities held by the Company issued by entities which were acquired. The
increase in other non-interest income was a result of the Company recognizing
income of $550,000 in connection with a repayment of a commercial real estate
loan. Under the terms of the loan, certain additional contingent payments were
due upon repayment of the loan in full.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSE.

Non-interest expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 increased $24,000, or
0.92% from the same period last year primarily due to increases of $33,000, or
20.4%, in professional fees, $18,000, or 24.3%, in advertising and $50,000, or
9.6%, in other non-interest expenses offset by a $79,000 decrease in
compensation and employee benefit expense. Non-interest expense for the nine
months ended June 30, 2004 increased $2.0 million, or 26.6%, by comparison to
the same period in the prior year primarily due to an increase in compensation
and employee benefit expense. The increase in compensation and employee benefit
expenses was primarily due to an additional $598,000 expense relating to the
funding of a non-qualified supplemental retirement plan for certain executive
officers as well as to the prepayment of the outstanding loan balance on the
original loan to the Company's employee stock ownership plan ("ESOP") which
resulted in $453,000 of expense. To a lesser degree, the increase in
compensation and benefit expense was due to additional personnel and merit
increases. In addition, the increase in non-interest expense was also due to
increases of $152,000 and $150,000 in professional fees and real estate
operations, respectively.

INCOME TAX EXPENSE.

Income tax expense decreased $2,000 to $146,000 for the three months ended June
30, 2004 compared to the same period in 2003 while decreasing $4,000 to $501,000
for the nine months ended June 30, 2004. The decreases for the three and nine
months ended June 30, 2004 resulted from the reduction in tax-free income as
compared to the same period in 2003 as well as a reduced net income.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES.

The Company has identified the evaluation of the allowance for loan losses as a
critical accounting estimate where amounts are sensitive to material variation.
Critical accounting estimates are significantly affected by management judgment
and uncertainties and there is a likelihood that materially different amounts
would be reported under different, but reasonably plausible, conditions or
assumptions. The allowance for loan losses is considered a critical accounting
estimate because there is a large degree of judgment in (i) assigning individual
loans to specific risk levels (pass, special mention, substandard, doubtful and
loss), (ii) valuing the underlying collateral securing the loans, (iii)
determining the appropriate reserve factor to be applied to specific risk levels
for criticized and classified loans (special mention, substandard, doubtful and
loss) and (iv) determining reserve factors to be applied to pass loans based
upon loan type. To the extent that loans change risk levels, collateral values
change or reserve factors change, the Company may need to adjust its provision
for loan losses which would impact earnings.

Management has discussed the development and selection of this critical
accounting estimate with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors and the
Audit Committee has reviewed the Company's disclosure relating to it in this
Management's Discussion and Analysis.

Management believes the allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2004 was at a
level to cover the known and inherent losses in the portfolio that were both
probable and reasonable to estimate. In the future, management may adjust the
level of its allowance for loan losses as economic and other conditions dictate.
Management reviews the allowance for loan losses not less than quarterly.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES.

The Company's liquidity, represented by cash and cash equivalents, is a product
of its operating, investing and financing activities. The Company's primary
sources of funds are deposits, repayments, prepayments and maturities of
outstanding loans and mortgage-related securities, sales of loans, maturities of
investment securities and other short-term investments, borrowing and funds
provided from operations. While scheduled payments from the amortization of
loans and mortgage-related securities and maturing investment securities and
short-term investments are relatively predictable sources of funds, deposit
flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates,
economic conditions and competition. In addition, the Company invests excess
funds in overnight deposits and other short-term interest-earning assets which
provide liquidity to meet lending requirements. The Company has been able to
generate sufficient cash through short-term borrowings to satisfy its funding
commitments. At June 30, 2004, the Company had short-term borrowings (due within
one year or currently callable by the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB"))
outstanding of $142.2 million, primarily consisting of advances from the FHLB of
Pittsburgh.

Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term function of business
management. Excess liquidity is generally invested in short-term investments
such as overnight deposits. On a longer term basis, the Company maintains a
strategy of investing in various lending products, mortgage-related securities
and investment securities. The Company uses its sources of funds primarily to
meet its ongoing commitments, to fund maturing certificates of deposit and
savings withdrawals, fund loan commitments and maintain a portfolio of
mortgage-related and investment securities. At June 30, 2004, total approved
loan commitments outstanding amounted to $8.8 million, not including loans in
process. At the same date, commitments under unused lines of credit amounted to
$35.2 million. Certificates of deposit scheduled to mature in one year or less
at June 30, 2004 totaled $105.5 million. Based upon its historical experience,
management believes that a significant portion of maturing deposits will remain
with the Company.

As of June 30, 2004, the Bank had regulatory capital which was in excess of
applicable requirements. The Bank is required under applicable federal banking
regulations to maintain tangible capital equal to at least 1.5% of its adjusted
total assets, core capital equal to at least 4.0% of its adjusted total assets
and total capital equal to at least 8.0% of its risk-weighted assets. At June
30, 2004, the Bank had tangible capital and core capital equal to 8.1% of
adjusted total assets and total capital equal to 15.5% of risk-weighted assets.

INVESTMENT AND MORTGAGE-RELATED SECURITIES.

The Company reviews the investment and mortgage-related securities portfolios on
a periodic basis to specifically review individual securities for any meaningful
decline in market value below amortized cost. The analysis addresses all
securities whose fair value is significantly below amortized cost at the time of
the analysis, with additional emphasis placed on securities whose fair value has
been below amortized cost for an extended period of time. As part of the
periodic review process, the Company utilizes the expertise of outside
professional asset managers who provide an updated assessment of each issuer's
current credit situation based on recent issuer activities, such as quarterly
earnings announcements or other pertinent financial news for the issuer, recent
developments in a particular industry, the economic outlook for a particular
industry and rating agency actions.

In addition to issuer-specific financial information and general economic data,
the Company also considers the ability and intent of its operations to hold a
particular security to maturity or until the market value of the security
recovers to a level in excess of the carrying value.

Of the securities in an unrealized loss position, there are three securities in
the portfolio with an unrealized loss position longer than 12 months. Two
securities are mortgage-related with a fair value of $1.8 million and a cost of
$1.9 million. The third security is a preferred security with a fair value of
$4.0 million and a cost of $5.0 million. The preferred security is rated AAA
with an unrealized loss of $974,000. The preferred security is at a loss because
of the low interest rate environment. The Company has no current plans to
dispose of this security. The Company believes that all the securities with an
unrealized loss are only temporarily impaired.

IMPACT OF INFLATION AND CHANGING PRICES.

The Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company and related notes presented
herein have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles which requires the measurement of financial position and operating
results in terms of historical dollars, without considering changes in the
relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation.

Unlike most industrial companies, substantially 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 the effects of 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 prices are affected by inflation to a larger
extent than interest rates. In the current interest rate environment, liquidity
and the maturity structure of the Company's assets and liabilities are critical
to the maintenance of acceptable performance levels.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

For a discussion of the Company's asset and liability management policies, see
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operation" in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
September 30, 2003.

The Company utilizes reports prepared by the Office of Thrift Supervision
("OTS") to measure interest rate risk. Using data from the Bank's quarterly
thrift financial reports, the OTS models the net portfolio value ("NPV") of the
Bank over a variety of interest rate scenarios. The NPV is defined as the
present value of expected cash flows from existing assets less the present value
of expected cash flows from existing liabilities plus the present value of net
expected cash inflows from existing off-balance sheet contracts. The model
assumes instantaneous, parallel shifts in the U.S. Treasury Securities yield
curve of 100 to 300 basis points up and 100 points down, in 100 basis point
increments.

- 19 -


The interest rate risk measures used by the OTS include an "Exposure Measure" or
"Post-Shock" NPV ratio and a "Sensitivity Measure." The "Post-Shock" NPV ratio
is the net present value as a percentage of assets over the various yield curve
shifts. A low "Post-Shock" NPV ratio indicates greater exposure to interest rate
risk and can result from a low initial NPV ratio or high sensitivity to changes
in interest rates. The "Sensitivity Measure" is the decline in the NPV ratio, in
basis points, caused by a 2% increase or decrease in rates, whichever produces a
larger decline. The following sets forth the Bank's NPV as of June 30, 2004.

As of June 30, 2004, the Company's NPV was $57.9 million or 9.96% of the market
value of assets. Following a 200 basis point increase in interest rates, the
Company's "post shock" NPV was $42.8 million or 7.68% of the market value of
assets. The change in the NPV ratio or the Company's sensitivity measure was
(2.28) %.

As of March 31, 2004, the Company's NPV was $49.4 million or 8.44% of the market
value of assets. Following a 200 basis point increase in interest rates, the
Company's "post shock" NPV was $36.9 million or 6.58% of the market value of
assets. The change in the NPV ratio or the Company's sensitivity measure was
(1.86) %.
