ASRV Announces Increased Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2001 Earnings

    JOHNSTOWN, Pa., Jan. 23 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
AmeriServ Financial, Inc. (Nasdaq: ASRV) today reported fourth quarter 2001
net income of $401,000 or $0.03 per share on a diluted basis.  This represents
significant improvement over the loss of $1,958,000 or ($0.15) per diluted
share reported in the fourth quarter of 2000.  For the full year 2001, ASRV
earned $1,975,000 or $0.15 per diluted share.  This 2001 net income also
compares favorably to both the full year 2000 net income of $1,716,000 or
$0.13 per diluted share and the pro forma 2000 earnings of $266,000 or $0.02
per diluted share.  The following table highlights the Company's financial
performance for both the fourth quarter and years ended December 31, 2001 and
2000:

    *  Pro forma results exclude Three Rivers Bank whose earnings were
reflected in the actual results for the first quarter of 2000.  Three Rivers
Bank was spun-off from the Company on April 1, 2000.

    ** Cash performance results exclude amortization related to goodwill and
core deposit intangibles net of applicable income tax effects.  While mortgage
servicing impairment charges are non-cash at the time of recognition, they are
by industry definition not excluded from cash performance.

    Highlights for the fourth quarter 2001 included:

    The Company's deposits totaled $676 million at the end of 2001, which
represented an increase of $17 million or 2.6% when compared to the end of
2000.  This solid growth in deposits occurred even after the sale of
approximately $15 million of deposits associated with the Company's Coalport
Branch in the third quarter of 2001.  Factors contributing to the growth
included $11 million of deposits from the Company's two new union niche
offices, $4 million from the full service community office opened in State
College, the acquisition of $6 million of escrow deposits from its mortgage
banking operation, and increased market share within the Company's core
Cambria County market.  Loans outstanding totaled $599 million at December 31,
2001, which also represented an increase of $9 million or 1.6% from year-end
2000.  The Company enters 2002 with positive loan momentum as total loans grew
by a more meaningful $29 million or 5.0% during the second half of 2001.
    The Company's net interest margin averaged 2.49% in the fourth quarter of
2001 which was 3 basis points lower than the prior year fourth quarter.
However, when compared to the third quarter of 2001, the Company experienced
net interest margin expansion of 14 basis points.  The late October maturity
of a $100 million interest rate swap that had fixed the cost of certain
borrowings at 6.42% was a key factor responsible for the net interest margin
improvement and increased net interest income.  This cost of funds benefit
more than offset reduced earning asset yields resulting from the lower
interest rate environment and accelerated mortgage related asset prepayments.
Looking into 2002, the Company expects to get further significant cost of
funds relief in April 2002 when an $80 million interest rate swap that has
fixed the cost of certain borrowings at 6.92% will mature.  Assuming a minimum
300 basis point reduction in cost due to the expiration of this interest rate
swap, the Company will realize a $2.4 million interest expense reduction over
a twelve-month period.  The previously mentioned deposit and loan growth also
favorably impacted the fourth quarter net interest margin.
    The Company's total non-interest income in the fourth quarter of 2001
increased by $808,000 or 20.4% from the fourth quarter of 2000 due primarily
to investment security gains.  The Company realized $1.1 million of security
gains by taking advantage of the lower interest rate environment to reposition
and reduce the size of its investment security portfolio during the fourth
quarter of 2001.  The Company also benefited from a $244,000 increase in
deposit service charges due to the implementation of a first in the market
overdraft privilege program. The revenue contribution from our financial
services unit increased by $70,000 in the fourth quarter of 2001 as a result
of increased annuity sales.  This improvement reflects better synergies
between the Company's retail branch network and financial services division
and resulted in the first full quarter of profitability for the financial
services unit.  These positive items were partially offset by a $141,000
decrease in gains on loan sales due to the Company's exit from the wholesale
mortgage production business in early 2001.  Net mortgage servicing fees
declined by $122,000 due to increased amortization expense on mortgage
servicing rights resulting from accelerated prepayment speeds in 2001.  These
heightened mortgage prepayment speeds also contributed to a lower than
expected $366,000 non-cash impairment charge recognized on the mortgage
servicing rights in the fourth quarter of 2001.
    The Company's total non-interest expense in the fourth quarter of 2001
decreased by $1.8 million or 13.8% from the fourth quarter of 2000.  The
largest factor responsible for the decline was the non-recurrence of a
$1.5 million charge to exit the wholesale mortgage production business that
was incurred in the fourth quarter of 2000. Excluding this charge, total
non-interest expense between periods decreased by $253,000 or 2.3% with
several expense categories such as equipment expense and other expense
demonstrating declines between years.
    The Company built its loan loss reserve during the fourth quarter of 2001
as the loan loss provision totaled $390,000 or 0.27% of total loans compared
to net charge-offs of $251,000 or 0.17% of total loans.  Both of these numbers
are sharply lower than the fourth quarter 2000 when the provision totaled
$1.4 million or 0.96% of total loans and net charge-offs amounted to $846,000
or 0.57% of total loans.   The fourth quarter 2000 numbers were negatively
impacted by a problem commercial trucking lease that the Company worked out of
earlier in 2001. The Company's level of non-performing assets totaled
$10.0 million or 1.67% of total loans at December 31, 2001 compared to
$6.0 million or 1.0% of total loans at year-end 2000.  The $4 million increase
is due to a combination of higher non-accrual commercial and residential
mortgage loans due to the weaker economic conditions in the fourth quarter of
2001.  Of the Company's total non-performing assets, $6.1 million are in the
commercial loan portfolio with the remaining $3.9 million related to
residential mortgage loans.  The Company will provide a detailed update on its
asset quality in the webcast conference call scheduled for this afternoon at
2:00 PM EST. (See log-in instructions later in this release.)
    As ASRV begins 2002, it remains committed to its previously announced
earnings range of $0.36 to $0.38 for net income per share and its range of
$0.45 to $0.47 for cash net income per share for the year 2002.  The Company
also intends to maintain its annual common stock cash dividend at the current
$0.36 per share.  Based upon a current share price of $4.50, this represents a
strong 8% yield.  At December 31, 2001, ASRV had total assets of $1.2 billion
and shareholders' equity of $79 million or $5.83 per share.
    Orlando Hanselman, Chairman, President and CEO, Jeryl Graham, Executive
Vice President and COO, and Jeffrey Stopko, Senior Vice President and CFO will
host a conference call that will be webcast live over the Internet on
January 23, 2002 at 2:00 PM EST.  The purpose of the call will be to review
the fourth quarter earnings release in more detail and to discuss the outlook
for the Company in 2002.  To listen live over the Internet to the webcast
