ACCOUNTING FOR GOODWILL
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”, (“SFAS 142”) effective January 1, 2002. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, the Company is no longer required to amortize goodwill resulting from acquisitions. At the effective date, the Company had goodwill of $55.3 million, which included core deposit intangibles of $2.4 million. An annual impairment test of the goodwill will be conducted to determine if there is a need to writedown the goodwill. Prior to adoption of SFAS 142, the quarterly goodwill amortization expense totaled approximately $1.5 million.

DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Mortgage Company currently utilizes certain derivative instruments, primarily forward delivery commitments, in its efforts to manage interest rate risk associated with its mortgage loan commitments and mortgage loans held for sale. Prior to the closing and funds disbursement on a single-family residential mortgage loan, the Mortgage Company generally extends an interest-rate locked commitment to the borrower. Such commitment obligates the Mortgage Company to close the mortgage at a specified rate of interest provided the conditions to closing are satisfied. However, a period of 15 to 90 days, or more, generally elapses between the time such commitment is issued and the time that the Mortgage Company sells the closed mortgage loan into the secondary market. During such time, the Mortgage Company is subject to risk that market rates of interest may change, coupled with the fact that the price that investors will pay for mortgage loans purchased from the Mortgage Company is dependent, in part, on the difference between the interest rate on such loans and the then current rate on long-term (generally 10-year) U.S. Treasury bonds plus a margin (with any such difference referred to as the spread). If market rates of interest rise, the spread between locked loans and the U.S. Treasury rate will widen and investors generally will pay less to purchase such loans resulting in a reduction in the amount of the Mortgage Company’s gain recognized on sale or, possibly, a loss. In an effort to mitigate such interest rate risk, substantially at

the same time the Mortgage Company extends an interest rate locked commitment to its borrower, the Mortgage Company enters into forward delivery sales commitments pursuant to which it agrees to deliver whole mortgage loans to various investors or to issue Fannie Mae and/or Freddie Mac mortgage-backed securities. These forward sales delivery commitments, which amounted to $1.5 billion at September 30, 2002, establish the price the Mortgage Company will receive upon the sale of the related mortgage loan, thereby mitigating certain interest rate risk (the Mortgage Company still will have certain execution risk, that is, risk related to its ability to close and deliver to its investors the mortgage loans it has committed to sell to them pursuant to these forward delivery commitments). At September 30, 2002, the Company had mandatory forward delivery commitments outstanding amounting to $1.5 billion. Such commitments are comprised of the following: $275.3 million in allocated single whole loan sales, $766.7 million of allocated bulk whole loan sales and $475.3 million of unallocated forward securities sales. At September 30, 2002, the Mortgage Company had no forward commitments allocated to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac securities. The unallocated forward securities sales had market depreciation of $1.7 million at September 30, 2002 compared to $295.0 million of unallocated forward securities sales with a market depreciation of $1.3 million at June 30, 2002.
Prior to the quarter ended September 30, 2002, the Company had not accounted for loan commitments as derivatives. However, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement 133 Implementation Issue C13 (“Issue C13”) in March 2002, which provides additional guidance requiring certain loan commitments to be accounted for as derivatives under FASB Statement No. 133 (“Statement 133”). Pursuant to Issue C13, the Mortgage Company identified certain interest rate locked loan commitments that should be accounted for as derivative instruments as of July 1, 2002, the effective implementation date. The interest rate locked loan commitments are recorded at fair value upon implementation, with changes in fair value recorded in current period earnings and classified as a loan basis adjustment.
To implement the guidance of Issue C13, which is reported as a change in accounting principle, the Mortgage Company recorded a cumulative pre-tax gain of $8.1 million ($4.7 million after taxes) during the quarter ended September 30, 2002, representing the mark to market of certain loan commitments as of July 1, 2002. During the third quarter of 2002, the Mortgage Company also recognized current period pre-tax income due to the net change in fair value of locked loan commitments of $14.1 million.
As previously disclosed above, the Mortgage Company uses derivative instruments (forward sales) to hedge the interest rate locked commitments. To the extent that loans held for sale are not allocated to these derivatives, the changes in fair value of these derivatives are also recorded to current period earnings as a loan basis adjustment.
The net asset arising from the value of these derivative instruments at September 30, 2002 was $19.4 million. The value of this asset will be adjusted monthly based on market interest rates and the level of unallocated forward securities sales and locked loan commitments. Generally, the value of locked loan commitments will increase in a falling interest rate environment and decrease in a rising interest rate environment. The goal of the Company is to offset the change in the market value of locked loan commitments with the change in the market value of forward securities sales.

RESTATEMENT
The Company previously announced that it would restate its financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002 due to certain adjustments which are summarized below.
In the fourth quarter of 2002 management determined that the effective tax rate of the consolidated company was 41.1% instead of the 37.5% used in the first quarter of 2002, 38.4% used in the second quarter of 2002 and 38.5% used in the third quarter of 2002. The increase in the effective tax rate was due to the level of income as compared to the permanent tax differences and the various state tax rates in the states that the Company operates in. As a result for the first nine months of 2002 management determined to increase the tax expense by $3.8 million rather than recording the entire amount due to the change in the tax rate in the fourth quarter of 2002. The impact on the three months ended September 30, 2002 was an additional $1.8 million in tax expense from the originally reported amount.
For further information regarding the Company’s restatement at and for the periods ending December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001 refer to the Company’s Annual Report for 2002 as filed on Form 10-K and the Company’s Annual Report for 2001 as filed on Form 10-K/A.

The increase of $876.8 million or 14.6% was due primarily to an increase of $357.0 million in federal funds sold, an increase of $480.7 million in loans, net and a $342.4 million increase in loans held for sale. These increases were partially offset by a $337.7 million decrease in the securities available for sale portfolio. The increase in federal funds sold was due to the cash flow requirements of the Mortgage Company. The increase in loans, net was primarily due to loan originations of $897.4 million by the Bank and the retention of $472.0 million in loans originated by the Mortgage Company for the Bank’s portfolio, partially offset by repayments of $1.1 billion. The loan originations by the Bank during the nine months ended September 30, 2002 were primarily residential loans and, to a lesser extent, loans secured by commercial real estate. This level of originations reflects the current market demand in the current low rate environment along with the Bank’s continued business development efforts to originate both commercial and residential real estate loans in its primary market area. The Mortgage Company’s originations retained for the Bank’s portfolio are primarily relatively higher yielding adjustable rate single-family residential mortgage loans. The increase in loans held for sale was due to the record level of loan originations at the Mortgage Company which is being driven by market demand as well as expansion of the Mortgage Company’s branch network. For the first nine months of 2002, the Mortgage Company had loan originations of $5.0 billion and loan sales of $4.8 billion. The Mortgage Company’s originations continue to be driven by market demand in this low rate environment with over 70% of the current application volumes being refinance transactions. The Mortgage Company continues to look for market expansion opportunities and to review its current operations and product mix to maintain a profitable level of originations in all interest rate environments. The decrease in securities available for sale was due to increased paydowns on amortizing securities due to the current rate environment and securities sales to restructure the Company’s portfolio to reduce exposure to prepayment risk, to generate funding for loan originations and to improve the overall credit quality of the Company’s investment portfolio.
Deposits at September 30, 2002 totaled $3.5 billion compared to $2.9 billion at December 31, 2001. The increase of $552.6 million or 19.0% was primarily due to a $229.4 million increase in money market accounts, a $144.4 million increase in savings accounts and a $91.2 million increase in demand deposits. The increase in money market accounts was primarily due to the “Bank Edge” account which is a higher yielding money market account which also requires the opening of a non-interest bearing DDA account and is promoted primarily in the Bank’s Brooklyn and New Jersey markets. The growth in savings accounts was due to the current interest rate environment and the current uncertainty of the stock market. The increase in demand deposits was due to the Bank’s continued business development efforts to obtain primarily commercial demand deposits. Core deposits, which consist of savings, money market, NOW and DDA accounts, represented 66.6% of deposits at September 30, 2002 compared to 62.6% at December 31, 2001.
The Bank primarily relies on competitive pricing of its deposit products, quality customer service and long-standing relationships with customers to attract and retain deposits. In 2002, the Bank’s branch network grew to 34 locations with the opening of four new branches in the State of New Jersey. The Bank plans to continue this strategy of opening de-novo branches to increase deposits and expand its market area when acceptable locations can be found.
The Company’s borrowings at September 30, 2002 were $2.7 billion or 39.9% of assets compared to $2.5 billion or 40.8% of assets at December 31, 2001. The increase of $294.4 million was primarily used to fund loan originations at the Mortgage Company. Borrowings at September 30, 2002 consisted of Federal Home Loan Bank advances of $1.9 billion and repurchase agreements of $803.6 million, including $298.8 million of repurchase
18
agreements between the Mortgage Company and two individual financial institutions. The Mortgage Company’s obligations under these repurchase agreements are fully guaranteed by the Bank.
Stockholders’ equity amounted to $590.5 million at September 30, 2002 and $563.8 million at December 31, 2001 or 8.6% and 9.4% of total assets at such dates, respectively. The increase of $26.7 million was due to net income of $75.8 million, an allocation of Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”) and Recognition and Retention Plan (“RRP”) shares resulting in an increase of $12.5 million, the exercise of 860,148 stock options resulting in an increase of $9.8 million, an increase of $6.2 million from accounting for the stock option plan and a $1.4 million increase in the unrealized appreciation on securities available for sale, net of taxes. These increases were partially offset by the purchase of 3.1 million shares of the Company’s common stock at a cost of $60.2 million and aggregate cash dividend payments of $18.9 million. The tangible book value per share of the Company’s common stock was $8.90 at September 30, 2002 compared to $8.08 at December 31, 2001.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company reported net income of $45.2 million or $0.78 per fully diluted share for the third quarter of 2002 compared to net income of $22.6 million or $0.37 per fully diluted share for the third quarter of 2001. Included in the earnings for the third quarter of 2002 is an after tax increase of $4.7 million or, $0.08 per fully diluted share, reflecting the cumulative effect (at June 30, 2002) of a change in accounting principle for certain loan commitments as derivative instruments. Net income before the cumulative change in accounting for loan commitments was $0.70 per fully diluted share for the third quarter of 2002. The results for the three months ended September 30, 2002 also include an after tax credit of $8.3 million or $0.14 per diluted share reflecting the increase in fair value during the current period of certain loan commitments and an after tax increase of $7.4 million or $0.13 per fully diluted share related to the accounting for the Company’s stock option plan as a variable plan. The Company’s net income per diluted share for the third quarter of 2002, excluding the previously mentioned three items was $0.43.
For the nine month period ended September 30, 2002, the Company reported net income of $75.8 million or $1.30 per diluted share compared to net income of $44.6 million or $0.72 per diluted share for the comparable time period last year. Net income per diluted share before the cumulative change in accounting for loan commitments and the increase in fair value of loan commitments in the current period was $1.08 compared to $0.72 per diluted share for the first nine months of 2001. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2002 the after tax expense related to the Company’ stock option plan being accounted for as a variable plan was $3.4 million or $0.06 per fully diluted share.
The return on average equity and average assets for the three months ended September 30, 2002 was 29.93% and 2.64%, respectively, compared to 15.71% and 1.57%, respectively, for the comparable period in the prior year.
The return on average equity and average assets for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2002 was 17.53% and 1.58%, respectively, compared to 10.34% and 1.08%, respectively, for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2001.
The increase in net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2002, before considering the change in accounting principle, compared to the same quarter one year ago was due to an increase of $48.9 million in other income and a $10.4 million increase in net interest income. These increases were partially offset by a $28.0 million increase in total other expenses, a $12.7 million increase in the provision for income taxes and a $748,947 increase in the provision for loan losses.
The increase in net income for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2002 before considering the change in accounting principle, compared to the same nine-month period one year ago was due to an increase of $103.9 million in total other income and a $36.7 million increase in net interest income. These increases were partially offset by a $86.5 million increase in total other expenses, a $6.0 million increase in the provision for loan losses and a $21.6 million increase in the provision for income taxes.

INTEREST INCOME
The Company’s interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2002 was $100.6 million compared to $94.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001. The increase of $6.6 million was due to a $12.8 million increase in interest income from loans which was partially offset by a $6.3 million decrease in interest income from securities. The increase in interest income from loans was due to a $1.1 billion increase in the average balance of loans which was partially offset by a 70 basis point decrease in the average yield on loans to 6.74% for the third quarter of 2002 from 7.44% for the third quarter of 2001. The increase in the average balance of the loan portfolio was due to increased originations at the Bank, the retention of an increased amount of relatively higher yielding loans originated by the Mortgage Company for the Bank’s portfolio and the record loan origination volumes at the Mortgage Company resulting in increased balances in loans held for sale. The decrease in the average yield on loans was due to the low interest rate environment resulting in the increased amortization and satisfaction of loans being replaced by lower yielding originations and the downward repricing of adjustable rate loans. The decrease in interest income from securities was due to a $184.1 million decline in the average balance of the securities portfolio and an 88 basis point decline in the average yield on the securities portfolio to 5.50% for the third quarter of 2002. The decrease in the average balance of the securities portfolio was due to accelerated paydowns of amortizing securities primarily due to the current interest rate environment and the use of the cash flows generated from such paydowns to fund higher yielding loan originations at both the Bank and the Mortgage Company. During the quarter, the Company also sold $306.4 million in securities to restructure the securities available for sale portfolio to reduce exposure to prepayment risk, generate additional funding for loan commitments and to improve the overall credit quality of the portfolio.
Total interest income for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2002 was $294.8 million compared to $277.4 million for the first nine months of 2001. The increase of $17.4 million was due to a $34.6 million increase in interest income from loans which was partially offset by a $17.4 million decrease in interest income from securities. The increase in interest income from loans was due to a $938.5 million increase in the average balance of loans which was partially offset by a 59 basis point decline in the average yield on loans to 7.02% for the first nine months of 2002 from 7.61% for the same period in 2001. The increase in the average balance and decline in the average yield was due to substantially the same reasons as previously disclosed above in the discussion of interest income for the quarter ended September 30, 2002. The decrease in interest income from securities was due to a $196.3 million decline in the average balance of securities and a 66 basis point decline in the average yield on securities to 5.82% for the first nine months of 2002. The decline in the average balance and average yield of the securities portfolio was primarily due to the lower interest rate environment resulting in increased amortization and reinvestment of the cash flow in lower yielding securities. The decline in the average balance of the securities portfolio in the first nine months of 2002 was due to sales of $364.7 million, and amortization, repayments and maturities of $494.9 million which were partially offset by purchases of $522.4 million.
INTEREST EXPENSE
The Company’s total interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2002 was $48.4 million compared to $52.1 million for the comparable time period last year. The decrease in interest expense was primarily due to a $3.3 million decrease in interest expense on certificates of deposit as a result of the average cost of certificates of deposit declining to 3.43% for the third quarter of 2002 compared to 5.13% for the third quarter of 2001, which was partially offset by a $123.5 million increase in the average balance of certificates of deposit. The decline in the average cost of certificates of deposit was due to the lower interest rates over the past twelve months resulting in the reinvestment of funds from certificate maturities at lower interest rates than the maturing certificates. The increase in the average balance was due to deposit growth resulting primarily from branch expansion.
For the first nine months of 2002 the Company’s interest expense was $141.8 million compared to $161.0 million for the first nine months of 2001. The decrease of $19.2 million was due to an $11.2 million decrease in interest expense on certificates of deposit and a $12.8 million decrease in interest expense on borrowed funds. These two decreases were partially offset by a $4.6 million increase in interest expense on money market and NOW accounts. The decrease in interest expense on certificates of deposit was due to a decline in the average cost to 3.63% for the first nine months of 2002 from 5.49% for the first nine months of 2001 which was partially offset by a $101.7 million increase in the average balance of certificates of deposit. The decrease in the interest expense on borrowed funds was due to a 113 basis point decline in the average cost to 4.47% for the first nine months of 2002
23
compared to 5.60% for the comparable time period last year which was partially offset by a $218.1 million increase in the average balance of borrowings. The decline in the average cost of borrowings was due to the repricing of borrowings at lower rates than those which matured and were repaid during the period. The increase in the average balance of borrowings was primarily due to the increased funding needs of the Mortgage Company. The increase in interest expense for money market and NOW accounts was due to a $312.2 million increase in the average balance of money market and NOW accounts partially offset by a decrease in the average cost to 2.58% from 3.23% for the first nine months of 2002 and 2001, respectively. The increase in the average balance of money market and NOW accounts was due to the promotion of a premium money market account which required the opening of a DDA account to develop banking relationships in new markets and, to a lesser extent, branch expansion. The decline in the average cost was due to the lower interest rate environment over the past twelve months.
NET INTEREST INCOME
Net interest income for the third quarter of 2002 was $52.3 million compared to $41.9 million for the third quarter of 2001. The increase of $10.4 million or 24.8% resulted primarily from favorable changes in volume and, to a lesser extent, rate. Average interest earning assets increased $982.3 million primarily due to increases in loans, net and loans held for sale. The favorable change in net interest income was primarily due to a decrease in the average cost for certificates of deposit and borrowed funds, resulting from lower market interest rates, which was partially offset by lower yielding interest earning assets and the impact of asset and liability repricing in the year 2002 compared with 2001.
The Company’s net interest rate spread and net interest margin for the three-month period ended September 30, 2002 was 2.95% and 3.31%, respectively, compared to 2.57% and 3.15%, respectively for the three months ended September 30, 2001.
For the nine month period ended September 30, 2002, net interest income was $153.0 million compared to $116.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. The increase of $36.7 million or 31.6% resulted from a $794.9 million increase in average interest earning assets and a 42 basis point increase in net interest margin. The increase in earning assets was primarily due to increases in loans, net and loans held for sale. The increase in the net interest rate margin was due primarily to a significant decrease in the cost of interest bearing liabilities which was partially offset by a decrease in the yield on interest earning assets.
The Company’s net interest rate spread and net interest margin for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2002 was 3.04% and 3.44%, respectively, compared to 2.38% and 3.02%, respectively, for the comparable period last year.
The improvement in the Company’s net interest rate spread and net interest rate margin in comparison to last year continues to be driven primarily by growth in earning assets and lower funding costs as a result of the lower interest rate environment, however, the net interest rate spread and net interest margin decreased in the quarter ended September 30, 2002 compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2002. Based on the current interest rate environment and the slope of the yield curve, this decreasing trend may continue. To partially offset this trend, the Company will continue to retain some of the relatively higher yielding loans originated by the Mortgage Company and closely monitor its repricing of interest bearing liabilities. In this low interest rate environment, decreases in net interest income could be offset, in whole or part, by increased gains on loan sales generated by the Mortgage Company.
PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES
The provision for loan losses for the third quarter of 2002 was $3.3 million compared to $2.6 million for the third quarter of 2001. The increase in the provision for loan losses was due to the increase in net chargeoffs, increased loan originations at both the Bank and Mortgage Company and current economic conditions. Net chargeoffs for the third quarter of 2002 were $2.4 million of which $1.9 million related to mortgage banking operations.
For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2002, the provision for loan losses was $9.8 million compared to $3.8 million for the comparable period last year. The increase in the provision for loan losses was primarily due to the increase in net chargeoffs, increased balances in loans, net and current economic conditions.
24
The increase in net chargeoffs to $6.0 million for the nine month period in 2002 compared to $2.0 million for the comparable period in 2001 was due to $1.7 million in chargeoffs on loans transferred to other real estate owned (“OREO”), and $3.2 million in chargeoffs related to mortgage banking activities. These activities primarily represent the impairment charge on loans in non-accrual status prior to their sale at below market prices.
Total non-accruing loans and OREO amounted to $23.8 million at September 30, 2002 compared to $16.3 million at December 31, 2001. The increase of $7.5 million was due primarily to a $6.6 million increase in the balance of OREO. This increase was driven by the addition of two properties with an aggregate outstanding balance of $6.4 million. The Company has entered into a contract to sell the property with a carrying value of $4.6 million at no additional loss. The other property is a single-family residential property with a carrying value of $1.8 million and the borrower has claimed bankruptcy. The Company will aggressively pursue a buyer for this property and anticipates a sale in the first quarter of 2003 at no additional loss based on the current appraisal value.
Non-accrual loans at September 30, 2002 totaled $16.0 million compared to $15.1 million at December 31, 2001. The overall level of non-accrual loans has increased slightly, due primarily to the level of non-accrual single-family residential loans increasing to $12.3 million at September 30, 2002 compared to $7.7 million at December 31, 2001. The increase in single-family non-accrual loans at September 30, 2002 was primarily offset by declines in non-accrual construction loans, and non-residential properties. Certain of the single-family residential non-accruing loans are partially insured and the Company does not presently anticipate any losses on such loans.
The allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2002 was $23.9 million or 149.47% of non-accruing loans compared to $20.0 million or 132.78% of non-accruing loans at December 31, 2001. The activity in the allowance for loan losses consisted of chargeoffs of $6.7 million, recoveries of $702,731 and a provision of $9.8 million for the first nine months of 2002. In determining the appropriate level of the allowance for loan losses, the Company on a quarterly basis will review the mix and volume of the loan portfolio and its inherent risks, the level of non-accruing loans and delinquencies, historical loss experience, local and national economic condition including the direction of real estate values and current trends in regulatory supervision. While no assurance can be given that future chargeoffs or additional provisions over the current level will not be necessary, management believes, based on its ongoing review and the current level of non-accruing loans and delinquencies, that the current level of the allowance for loan losses is adequate.
TOTAL OTHER INCOME
Total other income was $84.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2002 compared to $35.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001. The increase of $47.4 million was due to a $29.4 million increase in net gains on loan sales, a $14.0 million increase in unrealized gains on derivative transactions, a $2.9 million increase in loan fees and a $1.4 million increase in net securities gains. The increase in net gains on loan sales was primarily due to the $1.8 billion in loan sales in the third quarter of 2002 compared to loan sales of $853.2 million in comparable time period last year. The increase in unrealized gains on derivative transactions was due to the change in market value of certain locked loan commitments from the time the commitment is locked in until the loan closes or the end of the period, net of corresponding hedging activity. See the “Segment Reporting” and “Derivative Financial Instruments” notes in the financial statements for additional information. The increase in loan fees was primarily due to the increase in loan origination volumes at the Mortgage Company. The increase in net gains on securities transactions was due to the Company’s restructuring of the securities available for sale portfolio, to realize gains on certain higher yielding mortgage backed securities before accelerated pay-downs, to generate funds for loan originations at the Mortgage Company and to improve the overall credit quality of the portfolio. This program resulted in sales of $306.4 million of securities of which $8.3 million were collateral bond obligations, $169.7 million were mortgage backed securities, $69.5 million consisted of other debt securities, and $29.1 million consisted of equity securities.
Total other income for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 was $181.1 million compared to $77.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. The increase of $103.9 million was due a $75.2 million increase in net gains on loan sales, a $13.0 million increase in unrealized gains on derivative transactions, an $8.6 million increase in loan fees, a $3.2 million increase in other income and a $2.1 million increase in net gains on security transactions. The increase in net gains on loan sales was primarily due to the increased volume of loan sales at the Mortgage Company. The reasons for the increase in unrealized gains on derivative transactions and loan fees
25
are the same as previously discussed for the quarter ended September 30, 2002. The increase in other income is due to the receipt of a one time liquidating dividend from the Company’s former provider of data processing services in the second quarter of 2002. The increase in loan fees was due to the increase in loan originations at both the Bank and Mortgage Company. The reasons for the increase in net security gains are generally the same as for the quarter ended September 30, 2002.
TOTAL OTHER EXPENSES
Total other expenses for the third quarter of 2002 were $64.2 million compared to $36.1 million for the third quarter of 2001. During the third quarter of 2002, the Company determined that the settlement of certain stock option exercises triggered the recognition of compensation expense for certain options under the stock option plan. For the three months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, this accounting treatment resulted in non-cash credits to compensation expense of $13.6 million and $7.3 million, respectively. Exclusive of these credits, total other expenses for the third quarter of 2002 were $77.8 million compared to $43.4 million for the third quarter of 2001. The increase of $34.4 million was primarily due to an $8.3 million increase in personnel expense, a $20.9 million increase in commission expense, a $1.8 million increase in professional fees and a $3.8 million increase in other expenses. The increase in personnel expense was due to a $5.4 million increase in personnel costs at the Mortgage Company, primarily due to increased loan origination volume, which results in additional brokered commissions income paid, and expansion, and an $872,029 increase in salary expense at the Bank due to expansion and normal merit pay increases. The increase in professional fees was primarily due to the use of contract employees at the Mortgage Company to handle the increased volumes. The increase in other expense was due to the increased loan origination volume and expansion at the Mortgage Company.
Total other expenses for the first nine months of 2002 were $204.2 million compared to $117.8 million for the first nine months of 2001. Exclusive of the $6.2 million expense in 2002 and the $6.0 million expense in 2001 related to stock options, and reflected in compensation expense, total other expenses were $198.0 million in 2002 and $111.8 million in 2001. The increase of $86.2 million was due to a $20.7 million increase in personnel expense, a $47.9 million increase in commission expense, a $2.0 million increase in occupancy expense, a $1.8 million increase in advertising expense, a $6.0 million increase in professional fees and an $11.5 million increase in other expense. These increases were partially offset by a $3.8 million decrease in amortization expense for goodwill due to a change in accounting for goodwill, as discussed previously. The increase in personnel costs was due to a $14.9 million increase in personnel costs at the Mortgage Company due to increased volumes and expansion and a $2.9 million increase in the ESOP expense due to the previously discussed change in accounting and the increased value of the Company’s common stock. The increase in commission expense was due to the increased loan origination volume at the Mortgage Company. The increase in occupancy expense was due to expansion at the Mortgage Company and the opening of four new branch locations by the Bank. The increase in advertising and marketing expense was due to the increased activity in this area resulting from expansion at both the Bank and the Mortgage Company. The increase in professional fees and other expenses was primarily due to the increased loan origination volumes and expansion at the Mortgage Company.
PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES
The provision for income taxes for the third quarter of 2002 was $28.2 million resulting in an effective tax rate of 41.1% compared to a provision of $15.6 million in the third quarter of 2001 resulting in an effective tax rate of 40.8%. The provision for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 was $49.0 million compared to $27.4 million for the first nine months of 2001. The effective tax rates for the nine-month periods ending September 30, 2002 and 2001 were 41.1% and 38.0%, respectively. The primary reason for the increase in the provision for income taxes for both the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2002 compared to the same time frame in the prior year was the increase in the effective tax rate and the increase in net income before the provision for income taxes. The increase in the effective tax rate was primarily due to a change in the Company’s mix of business including the volumes of loan originations in states with higher corporate tax rates and the level of income as compared to the permanent tax differences.
26
LIQUIDITY AND COMMITMENTS
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, amortization, prepayments and maturities of outstanding loans and mortgage-backed securities, maturities of investment securities and other short-term investments and funds provided from operations. While scheduled payments from the amortization of loans and mortgage-backed 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 federal funds sold and other short-term interest-earning assets which provide liquidity to meet lending requirements.
Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term function of business management. Excess liquidity is generally invested in short-term investments such as federal funds. The Company uses its sources of funds primarily to meet its ongoing commitments, to pay maturing certificates of deposit and savings withdrawals, fund loan commitments and maintain a portfolio of mortgage-backed and mortgage-related securities and investment securities. At September 30, 2002, the total approved loan commitments outstanding amounted to $1.5 billion and the Mortgage Company had forward commitments of $1.4 billion to sell loans to third party investors. At the same date, the unadvanced portion of construction loans totaled $35.2 million. Certificates of deposit scheduled to mature in one year or less at September 30, 2002 totaled $752.0 million. Investment securities scheduled to mature in one year or less at September 30, 2002 totaled $1.0 million and amortization from investments and loans is projected at $1.5 billion over the next 12 months. Based on historical experience, the Bank’s current pricing strategy and the Bank’s strong core deposit base, management believes that a significant portion of maturing deposits will remain with the Bank. The Bank anticipates that it will continue to have sufficient funds, together with loan sales and security sales, to meet its current commitments. In the event the funds required exceed the funds generated by the Bank, additional sources of funds such as reverse repurchase agreements, FHLB advances, overnight lines of credit and brokered Certificates of Deposit are available to the Bank.
CAPITAL
At September 30, 2002, the Bank had regulatory capital that was well in excess of all regulatory requirements set by the OTS. The current requirements and the Bank’s actual levels are detailed below (000’s omitted) (unaudited):

SEGMENT REPORTING
The Company manages its operations in a manner to focus on two strategic goals: fulfilling its role as a community banking institution for both individuals and businesses and as a national provider of single-family residential mortgage loan products. Accordingly, the Company aligns its various business objectives in support of these goals and manages the Company through two segments: Community Banking and Mortgage Banking.
Community Banking. The Company’s Community Banking segment provides traditional banking services to commercial and retail customers through the Bank. The services include deposit accounts and related services, residential and commercial real estate lending, consumer lending, commercial lending, loan servicing, trust services, life insurance products and investment products. Products and services offered by this business segment are delivered through a multi-channel distribution network, including on-line banking. The Community Banking segment is the primary warehouse lender for the Mortgage Banking segment and purchases certain loans from the Mortgage Banking segment to be held in its portfolio.
27
During the first nine months of 2002, the Community Banking segment opened four branches in the State of New Jersey, in furtherance of its goal to expand its branch network and increase deposits.
Mortgage Banking. The Company’s Mortgage Banking segment activities, which are conducted through the Mortgage Company, primarily include the origination of residential real estate loans either for sale into the secondary market, or to a lesser extent, for retention in the Bank’s portfolio. The loans are originated throughout a network in 42 states. Loans not retained for the Bank’s portfolio are sold to investors, including certain government-sponsored agencies. Applications for loans are accepted through various sources by the Mortgage Banking segment as indicated below.
The Mortgage Banking segment’s net income for the quarter was $17.4 million resulting in net income of $29.6 million for the first nine months of 2002. Included in the quarter and year-to-date net income is the previously discussed cumulative effect due to a change in accounting principle to comply with implementation guidance in Issue C13 of FASB 133 of $4.7 million after taxes and an increase in the value of locked loan commitments in the third quarter of $8.2 million, net of taxes. The level of earnings at the Mortgage Company is dependent on loan originations, which were $2.2 billion in the third quarter of 2002 and loan sales, which were $1.8 billion for the third quarter of 2002. For the first nine months of 2002, loan originations were $5.0 billion and loans sold were $4.8 billion.
The primary source of income for the Mortgage Company is gains generated by the sale of loans on a servicing released basis. All loans are sold servicing released by the Mortgage Company and therefore, the Mortgage Company has no loan servicing assets. The Mortgage Company recognizes gains on sales when the loan is sold with the net gain for the period being determined by the volume of loans sold and the net realized margin on those loans.
The Mortgage Company’s net realized margin on mortgage loans is comprised of the gross profit margin recognized in originating and subsequently selling mortgage loans. The net realized margin has two components, the inherent margin expected at the time the loan is locked in, or “origination income”, and the secondary market gain. Origination income is the gross difference between the market value of a loan based upon a standard execution and the cost basis of the loan as of the date of lock-in. The secondary marketing gains/losses portion of the gain on sale is essentially the extent to which the execution of the sale of the loan is either greater or less than the expected or inherent origination income. Secondary market gains/losses primarily occur as a result of changes in the interest rate environment, hedging activities and changes in the method of execution of settlements of the sales of the loans from what was anticipated at the time of lock-in. During the third quarter of 2002, the Mortgage Company experienced a widening of both the inherent origination income margins and the secondary marketing margin, resulting in an increase of 18 basis points in average gross margin to 2.72% over the second quarter of 2002 in spite of a greater volume of agency business, traditionally a lower margin business line. Comparing the third quarter of 2002 to the third quarter of 2001, the average gross margins decreased by 44 basis points. However, it should be noted that the third quarter of 2001 included post-September 11 market fluctuations resulting in larger than normal secondary market gains. The Mortgage Company’s goal is to increase Alt-A loan (loans not eligible for Agency or Government programs that have a minimum specified credit score and/or that satisfy other criteria and/or reduced income or asset documentation) production since this product produces higher margins.
Certain of the Mortgage Company’s expenses are variable based on the volume of loan applications and originations. The primary expense associated with loan originations is commission expense paid to brokers and retail loan officers to originate a loan. Declines in volume resulting in reduced fee income will be partially offset by a decline in commission expense and reduction in back-office staff, primarily shipping, and the number of contract employees. The Mortgage Company, in an effort to partially protect itself in the event of declines in volumes resulting from interest rate movements, has developed contingency plans designed to reduce expenses to coincide with reductions in loan origination volumes.
28
The Mortgage Company originates loans through various sources. The following table summarizes application volumes by source.

Total | | $ | 5,201,928 | | $ | 1,716,881 | | $ | 10,282,721 | | $ | 4,287,590 | |
With the exception of loans originated for the Bank’s portfolio, all loans originated by the Mortgage Company are originated for sale into the secondary market and the Mortgage Company assumes limited repurchase risk. In connection with the sale of loans to mortgage loan investors, the Mortgage Company makes standard secondary market representations and warranties in the normal course of business to facilitate the sale as is common in the mortgage banking industry. These representations and warranties relate to, among other things, the Mortgage Company’s compliance with laws, regulations, investor and industry standards and the accuracy of information supplied by borrowers and verified by the Mortgage Company.
The Mortgage Company also represents and warrants that the borrowers will make payments as agreed for a specified period of time after transfer of ownership of the loans to the investors. The time period ranges from 0 to 90 days after the loan transfer. In the event of payment default within the warranty period, the investor may require the Mortgage Company to repurchase the loan or the Mortgage Company may mutually agree to extend the warranty period. In certain cases where repurchase is required, an alternative settlement may be reached whereby the investor reprices the loan to market based on its then impaired status, and accepts a cash payment of the difference between the price originally paid by the investor and the repriced market value as full satisfaction of the Mortgage Company’s warranty for that loan. The Mortgage Company repriced loans totaling $2.9 million in the third quarter of 2002 and $5.2 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2002, resulting in a reduction of gain on loan sales of $1.3 million and $2.5 million for the quarter and nine-month period ended September 30, 2002.
The segment operating revenue and operating earnings in the table below incorporate certain intersegment transactions that the Company views as appropriate for purposes of reflecting the contribution of certain segments, which are eliminated in preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
