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.

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.
