INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


Penn Federal Savings Bank
401(k) Plan Trustees
West Orange, New Jersey

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
of Penn  Federal  Savings  Bank 401(k) Plan (the "Plan") as of June 30, 2001 and
2000, and the related  statement of changes in net assets available for benefits
for  the  year  ended  June  30,  2001.  These  financial   statements  are  the
responsibility  of the Plan's  management.  Our  responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the  United  States of  America.  Those  standards  require  that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain  reasonable  assurance  about  whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a
test basis,  evidence  supporting  the amounts and  disclosures in the financial
statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant  estimates  made by  management,  as well as evaluating  the overall
financial  statement  presentation.   We  believe  that  our  audits  provide  a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our  opinion,  such  financial  statements  present  fairly,  in all material
respects,  the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of June 30, 2001
and 2000,  and the changes in net assets  available  for  benefits  for the year
ended June 30, 2001 in conformity with accounting  principles generally accepted
in the United States of America.

Our audits  were  conducted  for the  purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental  schedule of Assets Held
for Investment  Purposes is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and
is not a required part of the basic  financial  statements but is  supplementary
information  required by the  Department  of Labor's Rules and  Regulations  for
Reporting and Disclosure  under the Employee  Retirement  Income Security Act of
1974. This schedule is the responsibility of Plan management.  Such schedule has
been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of the basic 2001
financial  statements  and, in our  opinion,  is fairly  stated in all  material
respects when considered in relation to the basic financial  statements taken as
a whole.

PENN FEDERAL SAVINGS BANK 401(k) PLAN

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A.   PLAN DESCRIPTION

     The following description of the Penn Federal Savings Bank 401(k) Plan (the
     "Plan") provides only general information. Participants should refer to the
     Plan document for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions.

     1. Plan Agreement - The Plan was  established  January 1, 1990 as a defined
     contribution plan.  Employees become eligible to participate in the Plan on
     January 1, April 1, July 1, or October 1,  immediately  after obtaining age
     twenty and one-half and completing  three months of service,  working 1,000
     hours at Penn Federal Savings Bank (the "Bank").

     2. Contributions

     (a) Salary Deferral  Contributions - An eligible employee may elect to have
     a percentage of  compensation  contributed to this Plan on a pre-tax salary
     reduction  basis.  A  participant  may elect to defer between 1% and 15% of
     their  compensation  under  a  Salary  Reduction  Agreement  to  the  Plan.
     Additionally,  participants  may  contribute an amount not to exceed 10% of
     compensation on an after tax basis and may allocate their  contributions to
     eight  different  investment  funds  and to the  common  stock  of  PennFed
     Financial  Services,  Inc. In no event can the total amount deferred exceed
     $10,500 (adjusted annually).

     (b) Matching Employer  Contributions - Pursuant to an amendment approved by
     the Bank's Board of  Directors,  the employer  matching  contribution  is a
     discretionary matching contribution that varies between 25% and 100% of the
     participant's  contribution  (subject to certain limitations)  depending on
     the Bank's financial performance.

     (c)  Vesting  -  Participants  are  always  vested  with  respect  to their
     contributions  plus actual  earnings  thereon.  Vesting with respect to the
     Bank's  contributions  is 20% per year of service and 100% vesting  after 5
     years.

Effective  October 1, 1991,  a resolution  of the Board of Directors  was passed
allowing  nondiscriminatory  participant loans from the Plan. Loans are made for
hardship  situations  only.  Each loan must be  adequately  secured and the loan
repayment must be made before any distribution of retirement benefits.

B.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     Basis of Presentation - The financial  statements of the Plan are presented
     on the accrual basis of accounting.

     Investment  Valuation and Income  Recognition - Investments in mutual funds
     consisting of the Basic Value Fund, Capital Fund, CMA Money Fund, Corporate
     Intermediate  Bond Fund, Global Allocation Fund, Growth Fund for Investment
     and  Retirement  and Ready Asset Trust Fund were managed by Merrill  Lynch.
     Investments in mutual funds  consisting of the MFS Emerging Growth Fund and
     Massachusetts  Investors Trust Fund were managed by Massachusetts Financial
     Services  Company  ("MFS").  Investments in mutual funds and investments in
     PennFed Financial Services,  Inc. common stock are recorded at market value
     as determined by quoted market prices.

                                        4





     Purchases and sales of securities are recorded as of the  settlement  date.
     There were no material unsettled trades at June 30, 2001 or 2000.  Interest
     income is recorded on the accrual basis.  Participant  loans receivable are
     valued at cost which approximates fair value.

     Participant Accounts - Under the trusteeship of Merrill Lynch Trust Company
     participants may designate their contributions to be invested in any of the
     following eight funds and common stock:

     1.  Basic  Value  Fund - The  investment  objective  of the Fund is to seek
     capital  appreciation and,  secondarily,  income by investing  primarily in
     equity securities.

     2. Capital Fund - The investment objective of the Fund is to maximize total
     investment return by shifting  emphasis among equity,  debt and convertible
     securities.

     3. Corporate  Intermediate Bond Fund - The investment objective of the Fund
     is  to  seek  current  income.  The  Fund  anticipates  that  under  normal
     circumstances,  the majority of its assets will be invested in fixed-income
     securities,  including  convertible and nonconvertible  debt securities and
     preferred stock.

     4. Global Allocation Fund - The investment objective of the Fund is to seek
     a high total investment  return utilizing United States and foreign equity,
     debt and money market  securities;  the combination of which will vary from
     time to time  both with  respect  to types of  securities  and  markets  in
     response to changing market and economic trends.

     5. Growth Fund for Investment and Retirement - The investment objectives of
     the  Fund  are to seek  growth  of  capital  and,  secondarily,  income  by
     investing in a diversified portfolio of equity securities.

     6. Ready Assets Trust Fund - The  investment  objectives of the Fund are to
     seek preservation of capital,  liquidity and current income by investing in
     a diversified portfolio of short-term money market securities.

     7. MFS Emerging  Growth Fund - The  investment  objective of the Fund is to
     seek long-term growth of capital by investing primarily in common stock.

     8. Massachusetts Investors Trust Fund -The investment objective of the Fund
     is to seek  current  income and  long-term  growth of capital and income by
     investing primarily in common stock and convertibles.

     9. PennFed Financial Services,  Inc. Common Stock - Allows the participants
     in the Plan to direct the  investment  of all or a portion of the assets in
     their Plan accounts to the common stock of PennFed Financial Services, Inc.
     (the holding company for Penn Federal Savings Bank).

     Benefit Payments - Participants or their designated beneficiary,  may elect
     to receive benefit  distributions in either one lump-sum payment;  or equal
     monthly,  quarterly, or semi-annual installments,  equal to the total value
     of their separate  accounts upon  termination of employment,  disability or
     death.  If the  election is in  installments,  the  account  will either be
     segregated  and  separately  invested  by the  trustees,  or  invested in a
     nontransferable annuity policy.

     During employment and in the event of financial hardship,  participants may
     request payments of their account value;  however, this distribution cannot
     exceed the amount required to relieve the hardship. Such payment is subject
     to approval by the Plan administrator.

                                        5





     Benefits Payable - Net assets available for benefits  included  benefits of
     $564,146  and  $440,352  due  to  participants   who  have  withdrawn  from
     participation  in the Plan,  but were not yet paid as of June 30,  2001 and
     2000, respectively.

     Administrative  Expenses  - The  Bank  has  elected  to pay  administrative
     expenses on behalf of the Plan.

     Forfeitures  -  Forfeitures  (the  portions  of  terminated   participants'
     accounts in which they did not have a vested  interest)  are used to reduce
     future Bank contributions.

C.   INVESTMENTS

     The  Plan's  investments  are held in a trust  fund.  The  following  table
     presents investments.  Investments that represent 5 % or more of the Plan's

D.   PLAN TERMINATION

     Although  it has not  expressed  any  intention  to do so, the Bank has the
     right under the Plan to discontinue  its  contributions  at any time and to
     terminate  the Plan  subject  to the  provisions  of ERISA.  If the Plan is
     terminated,  all  participants  automatically  become  100% vested in their
     accounts.

E.   INVESTMENT INCOME

     The Plan is  valued  at least  quarterly  and  participants'  accounts  are
     credited  with a  proportional  share of investment  income.  Additionally,
     investments are priced daily.


                                       6





F.   TAX STATUS

     The sponsor  adopted a  non-standardized  prototype  plan which received an
     Internal  Revenue  Service  opinion  letter  dated  June  29,  1993 and the
     Internal  Revenue Service has determined and informed the Company by letter
     dated  December 7, 1995 that the Plan,  as adopted,  and related  trust are
     designed in accordance  with  applicable  sections of the Internal  Revenue
     Code (the  "Code").  The Plan has since  been  amended,  however,  the Plan
     Administrator  believes  that  the  Plan is  currently  being  operated  in
     compliance with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code.
