                    TF FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
              NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1 - PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

         The  consolidated  financial  statements  as  of  September  30,  2001,
         December  31,  2000,  September  30, 2000 and for the  three-month  and
         nine-month  periods  ended  September  30,  2001 and 2000  include  the
         accounts of TF Financial  Corporation  (the  "Company")  and its wholly
         owned  subsidiaries Third Federal Savings Bank (the "Savings Bank"), TF
         Investments  Corporation,   Penns  Trail  Development  Corporation  and
         Teragon  Financial  Corporation.  The  Company's  business is conducted
         principally  through the Savings  Bank.  All  significant  intercompany
         accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The  accompanying  unaudited  consolidated  financial  statements  were
         prepared in accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q and,  therefore,
         do  not  include  all of  the  disclosures  or  footnotes  required  by
         accounting  principles  generally  accepted  in the  United  States  of
         America. In the opinion of management,  all adjustments,  consisting of
         normal  recurring  accruals,  necessary  for fair  presentation  of the
         consolidated  financial  statements have been included.  The results of
         operations for the period ended  September 30, 2001 are not necessarily
         indicative  of the results  which may be expected for the entire fiscal
         year  or  any  other  period.   For  further   information,   refer  to
         consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the
         Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December
         31, 2000.

NOTE 3 - CONTINGENCIES

         The Company,  from time to time, is a party to routine  litigation that
         arises in the normal course of business.  In the opinion of management,
         the  resolution of this  litigation,  if any, would not have a material
         adverse  effect on the Company's  consolidated  financial  condition or
         results of operations.

NOTE 4 - OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

         The Company's other  accumulated  comprehensive  income consists of net
         unrealized gains (losses) on investment  securities and mortgage-backed
         securities  available  for sale.  Total  comprehensive  income  for the
         three-month  periods ended  September 30, 2001 and 2000 was  $2,180,000
         and $2,106,000,  net of applicable income tax of $919,000 and $951,000,
         respectively.

         Total  comprehensive  income for the nine-month periods ended September
         30, 2001 and 2000 was  $5,700,000  and  $4,260,000,  net of  applicable
         income tax of $2,255,000 and $1,969,000, respectively.

NOTE 5- RECLASSIFICATIONS

         Certain  prior year amounts have been  reclassified  to conform  to the
         current period presentation.

NOTE 6- RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

         On June 29,  2001,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board (FASB)
         approved for  issuance  Statement  of  Financial  Accounting  Standards
         (SFAS)  141,  Business   Combinations,   and  SFAS  142,  Goodwill  and
         Intangible Assets. Major provisions of these Statements are as follows:
         all business  combinations  initiated  after June 30, 2001 must use the
         purchase  method of  accounting;  the  pooling  of  interest  method of
         accounting is prohibited except for transactions  initiated before July
         1, 2001;  intangible  assets  acquired in a business  combination  must
         recorded  separately  from goodwill if they arise from  contractual  or
         other legal rights or are separable from the acquired entity and can be
         sold, transferred,  licensed, rented or exchanged,  either individually
         or as part of a related  contract,  asset or  liability;  goodwill  and
         intangible  assets  with  indefinite  lives are not  amortized  but are
         tested for impairment annually,  except in certain  circumstances,  and
         whenever there is an impairment  indicator;  all acquired goodwill must
         be assigned to reporting  units for purposes of impairment  testing and
         segment reporting;  effective January 1, 2002,  goodwill will no longer
         be  subject  to  amortization.  Although  it  is  still  reviewing  the
         provisions of these Statements,  management's preliminary assessment is
         that these  Statements will not have a material impact on the Company's
         financial position or results of operations.

                    TF FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL

TF  Financial   Corporation   may  from  time  to  time  make  written  or  oral
"forward-looking  statements",  including  statements contained in the Company's
filings with the Securities and Exchange  Commission  (including  this Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q and the exhibits  thereto),  in its reports to  stockholders
and in other communications by the Company,  which are made in good faith by the
Company  pursuant to the "Safe  Harbor"  Provisions  of the  Private  Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

These  forward-looking  statements  involve  risks  and  uncertainties,  such as
statements  of the  Company's  plans,  objectives,  expectations,  estimates and
intentions,  that are subject to change based on various important factors (some
of which are beyond the Company's control). The following factors, among others,
could cause the Company's  financial  performance to differ  materially from the
plans,  objectives,  expectations,  estimates and  intentions  expressed in such
forward-looking statements: the strength of the United States economy in general
and  the  strength  of  the  local  economies  in  which  the  Company  conducts
operations;  the effects of, and changes in, trade, monetary and fiscal policies
and laws,  including  interest  rate  policies of the Board of  Governors of the
Federal  Reserve  System,   inflation,   interest  rate,   market  and  monetary
fluctuations;  the timely  development  of and  acceptance  of new  products and
services of the Company and the perceived  overall  value of these  products and
services by users,  including  the  features,  pricing  and quality  compared to
competitors'  products and  services;  the  willingness  of users to  substitute
competitors' products and services for the Company's products and services;  the
success of the  Company in  gaining  regulatory  approval  of its  products  and
services,  when required;  the impact of changes in financial services' laws and
regulations   (including  laws  concerning   taxes,   banking,   securities  and
insurance);  technological changes,  acquisitions;  changes in consumer spending
and saving habits; and the success of the Company at managing the risks involved
in the foregoing.

The  Company  cautions  that the  foregoing  list of  important  factors  is not
exclusive.  The  Company  does  not  undertake  to  update  any  forward-looking
statement,  whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time by or on
behalf of the Company.

Financial Condition

The  Company's  total assets at September 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000 totaled
$704.6 million and $723.3 million, respectively, a decrease of $18.7 million, or
2.3%, during the nine-month period. The decrease is mainly the result of a $66.7
million gross decrease in investment  securities due to the maturity or exercise
of the call feature associated with these securities.  In addition,  there was a
$6.6 million  decrease in loans  receivable,  net, a $36.8  million  decrease in
mortgage-backed  securities,  partly  due to the  sale of $4.3  million  of such
securities,  and a $1.7 million  decrease in premises and  equipment  due to the
sale of vacant land that had  originally  been  purchased by the Company  during
1993 as a possible  administrative  location.  Offsetting  these decreases was a
$85.2 million increase in cash and cash  equivalents,  and a $9 million increase
in bank-owned life insurance.

Total  liabilities  decreased by $22.7  million  during the first nine months of
2001  primarily as a result of the use of deposit  growth,  which  totaled $15.2
million,  and excess cash and cash equivalents to repay a total of $37.5 million
in maturing advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank and other borrowings.

                                       9



Total  consolidated  stockholders'  equity of the Company  was $57.1  million or
8.11% of assets at  September  30, 2001,  compared to $53.1  million or 7.34% of
assets at December 31, 2000,  and $51.1  million or 7.23% of assets at September
30,  2000.  During the first nine months of 2001,  the net  increase in retained
earnings,  which  is net  income  less  dividends  paid,  plus the  increase  in
accumulated other comprehensive  income, was partially offset by the net cost of
treasury shares purchased.  During January of 2000 management announced that the
Company's board of directors had authorized the purchase of up to 142,638 shares
of the Company's stock in the open market.  As of September 30, 2001, there were
approximately  22,000 shares  available for repurchase  under this plan, and the
Company will  continue to  repurchase  shares as share  availability  and market
conditions permit.

Asset Quality

Non-performing  loans at September  30, 2001  increased  due to two loans to one
borrower  totaling $1.671  million,  which are secured by commercial real estate
that had been appraised at $2.5 million during the fourth quarter of 1999. These
loans became  non-performing  during the third  quarter of 2001 when they became
past due more than 90 days.  The Bank is  presently  working to recover its loan
balances or restore  these loans to performing  status,  or,  alternatively,  to
foreclose on these properties.  While management of the Bank presently  believes
that it is  adequately  secured by the value of the  collateral  securing  these
loans, there can be no assurances that the ultimate resolution of this situation
will not result in a charge to the Bank's allowance for loan losses or earnings,
or both.

      The following table sets forth  information  regarding the Company's asset
quality (dollars in thousands):



                                                              September 30,    December 31,    September 30,

Management maintains an allowance for loan losses at levels that are believed to
be adequate; however, there can be no assurances that further additions will not
be necessary or that losses  inherent in the existing loan  portfolios  will not
exceed  the  allowance.  The  following  table sets  forth the  activity  in the
allowance for loan losses during the periods indicated (in thousands):

     Rate/Volume Analysis

The following table presents, for the periods indicated,  the change in interest
income and interest  expense (in thousands)  attributed to (i) changes in volume
(changes in the weighted average balance of the total interest earning asset and
interest bearing  liability  portfolios  multiplied by the prior year rate), and
(ii) changes in rate (changes in rate multiplied by prior year volume).  Changes
attributable  to the  combined  impact  of volume  and rate have been  allocated
proportionately based on the absolute value of changes due to volume and changes
due to rate.

Total interest  income.  Total interest income  decreased by $779,000 or 6.4% to
$11.5  million for the three months ended  September  30, 2001 compared with the
third quarter of 2000.  Average earning assets decreased by $16.5 million during
the same  periods.  However,  because of the change in the mix of the  Company's
interest-earning  assets the Company's  interest  income  experienced a positive
$523,000  volume-based  improvement.  During the third  quarter  of 2001,  loans
receivable, which carried higher yields than other earning assets, were 54.1% of
total  interest-earning  assets  compared to 43.3%  during the third  quarter of
2000.  The increase in loans is the direct  result of the  Company's  successful
efforts to increase its purchases of seasoned,  single-family residential loans.
Offsetting the volume-based interest income increase was a $1,302,000 rate-based
decrease in interest  income,  primarily  the direct  result of generally  lower
market  interest rates and the lowering by the Federal  Reserve Board of the fed
funds rate during 2001 by 400 basis points. A lower fed funds rate resulted in a
lowering of the prime rate, and thus the interest income earned on the Company's
prime rate-based loans. In addition, the Corporation's cash and cash equivalents
earn approximately the federal funds rate of 2.50% at September 30, 2001.

Total Interest Expense. Total interest expense decreased to $6.7 million for the
three-month  period  ended  September  30,  2001 from $7.3  million for the same
period in 2000  primarily  due to generally  lower market  interest  rates which
resulted in a lowering of the Company's deposit interest  expense.  In addition,
decreased advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank and other borrowings resulted
in an overall decrease in average interest-bearing liabilities.

Non-interest  income. Total non-interest income was $474,000 for the three-month
period ended  September  30, 2001  compared with $400,000 for the same period in
2000. The increase is due to a $62,000 increase in service fees.

                                       13


Non-interest  expense.  Total non-interest expense decreased by $141,000 to $3.6
million for the three  months  ended  September  30,  2001  compared to the same
period in 2000. Operating expenses decreased in part due to the consolidation of
one branch during the first quarter of 2001,  thus enabling the Company to avoid
the personnel, occupancy, and other costs associated with operating that branch.
In addition,  the Company spent less for its marketing and sales personnel,  and
reduced its expenditures for direct advertising.

     Rate/Volume Analysis

The following table presents, for the periods indicated,  the change in interest
income and interest  expense (in thousands)  attributed to (i) changes in volume
(changes in the weighted average balance of the total interest earning asset and
interest bearing  liability  portfolios  multiplied by the prior year rate), and
(ii) changes in rate (changes in rate multiplied by prior year volume).  Changes
attributable  to the  combined  impact  of volume  and rate have been  allocated
proportionately based on the absolute value of changes due to volume and changes
due to rate.

Total Interest  Income.  Total interest income  decreased by $987,000 or 2.7% to
$35.6  million for the nine months ended  September  30, 2001  compared with the
first nine months of 2000.  Average  earning  assets  decreased by $15.6 million
during the same periods.  However,  there was a substantial change in the mix of
the  Company's  interest-earning  assets.  During the first nine months of 2001,
loans  receivable,  which carried higher yields than other earning assets,  were
53.6% of total  interest-earning  assets compared to 42.7% during the first nine
months of 2000.  The  increase  in loans is the direct  result of the  Company's
successful  efforts  to  increase  its  purchases  of  seasoned,   single-family
residential loans.

Total Interest  Expense.  Total interest expense  decreased to $20.5 million for
the nine-month  period ended  September 30, 2001 from $21.8 million for the same
period in 2000  primarily  due to decreased  advances from the Federal Home Loan
Bank and other  borrowings,  which  resulted  in an overall  decrease in average
interest-bearing liabilities. In addition, generally lower market interest rates
resulted  in a lowering  of the  Company's  deposit  interest  expense,  and the
Company's  average  deposits  decreased  by $7.0  million  due  mainly  to lower
balances in certificates of deposit.

Non-interest income. Total non-interest income was $1,683,000 for the nine-month
period ended  September 30, 2001 compared with $1,150,000 for the same period in
2000.  The increase is mainly due to a $444,000  gain on the sale of vacant land
that  the  Company  had   purchased   during  1993  for   potential  use  as  an
administrative location.

Non-interest expense.  Total non-interest expense decreased by $185,000 to $10.9
million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 compared to the same period
in 2000.  Operating  expenses  decreased in part due to the consolidation of one
branch during the first quarter of 2001,  thus enabling the Company to

                                       16



avoid the personnel,  occupancy,  and other costs associated with operating that
branch. In addition, the Company reduced its expenditures for direct advertising
by $143,000  during the first nine months of 2001  compared with the same period
in 2000.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Liquidity

The  Company'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  Company's   short-term  sources  of  liquidity  include  maturity,
repayment and sales of assets,  excess cash and cash equivalents,  new deposits,
broker deposits,  other borrowings,  and new advances from the Federal Home Loan
Bank. There has been no material adverse change during  nine-month  period ended
September  30, 2001 in the ability of the Company and its  subsidiaries  to fund
their operations.

At September 30, 2001, the Company had commitments  outstanding under letters of
credit of $1.6 million,  commitments to originate  loans of $13.1  million,  and
commitments  to fund  undisbursed  balances of closed  loans and unused lines of
credit of $25.7 million.

Capital Requirements

The Savings Bank is in  compliance  with all of its capital  requirements  as of
September 30, 2001.



QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Asset and Liability Management

The  Company's  market risk  exposure is  predominately  caused by interest rate
risk,  which is defined as the  sensitivity of the Company's  current and future
earnings, the values of its assets and liabilities, and the value of its capital
to changes in the level of market  interest  rates.  Management  of the  Company
believes that there has not been a material adverse change in market risk during
the nine months ended September 30, 2001.
