AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. Basis of Presentation The interim consolidated financial statements of PennFed Financial Services, Inc. ("PennFed") and subsidiaries (with its subsidiaries, the "Company") include the accounts of PennFed and its subsidiaries, Penn Federal Savings Bank (the "Bank"), PennFed Capital Trust I and PennFed Capital Trust II. These interim consolidated financial statements included herein should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2001. The interim consolidated financial statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial condition and results of operations for the periods presented. There were no adjustments of a non-recurring nature recorded during the six months ended December 31, 2001 and 2000. The interim results of operations presented are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. When necessary, reclassifications have been made to conform to current period presentation. 2. Adoption of Recently Issued Accounting Standards In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued Statement No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" ("SFAS 144"). SFAS 144 supersedes Statement No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of" ("SFAS 121"). SFAS 144 retains the requirements of SFAS 121 for recognizing and measuring the impairment loss of long-lived assets to be held and used. For long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale, SFAS 144 requires a single accounting model be used for all long-lived assets, whether previously held and used or newly acquired. Long-lived assets to be disposed of other than by sale would be considered held and used until disposition. SFAS 144 also broadens the presentation of discontinued operations in the income statement to include more disposal transactions. SFAS 144 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. The Company has not determined the impact, if any, that this statement will have on its consolidated financial position or results of operations. 3.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations General The Company's results of operations are dependent primarily on net interest income, which is the difference between the income earned on its loan, securities and investment portfolios and its cost of funds, consisting primarily of the interest paid on deposits and borrowings. Results of operations are also affected by the Company's provision for loan losses and operating expenses. General economic and competitive conditions, particularly changes in interest rates, government policies and actions of regulatory authorities, also significantly affect the Company's results of operations. Future changes in applicable laws, regulations or government policies may also have a material impact on the Company. When used in this Form 10-Q and in future filings by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), in the Company's press releases or other public or shareholder communications, and in oral statements made with the approval of an authorized executive officer, the words or phrases "will likely result," "are expected to," "will continue," "is anticipated," "estimate," "project" or similar expressions are intended to identify "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, including, among other things, changes in economic conditions in the Company's market area, changes in policies by regulatory agencies, fluctuations in interest rates and demand for loans in the Company's market area, competition and terrorist acts that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical earnings and those presently anticipated or projected. The Company wishes to caution readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. The Company wishes to advise readers that the factors listed above could affect the Company's financial performance and could cause the Company's actual results for future periods to differ materially from any opinions or statements expressed with respect to future periods in any current statements. The Company will not undertake - and specifically declines any obligation - to publicly release the result of any revisions which may be made to any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events. Financial Condition Total assets decreased $42.1 million to $1.807 billion at December 31, 2001 from total assets of $1.849 billion at June 30, 2001. The decrease was primarily due to a $144.4 million decrease in investment securities held to maturity offset by a $64.5 million increase in mortgage-backed securities and a $38.2 million increase in net loans receivable. Lower market interest rates have resulted in certain investment securities being called before maturity while the lower market interest rates and the resulting effect of loan refinancing activity has led to growth in the loan portfolio. During the three months ended December 31, 2001, the Company securitized approximately $66 million of one- to four-family mortgage loans as Freddie Mac mortgage-backed securities. These securities are held in the Company's mortgage-backed securities portfolio for collateral purposes. Deposits increased $31.9 million to $1.117 billion at December 31, 2001 from $1.085 billion at June 30, 2001. An increase in core deposit accounts and medium-term certificates of deposit was partially offset by a decrease in short-term certificates of deposit, including municipal certificates of deposit. Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") of New York advances increased $20.0 million from $454.5 million at June 30, 2001 to $474.5 million at December 31, 2001, while other borrowings decreased $91.8 million from $127.6 million at June 30, 2001 to $35.8 million at December 31, 2001. The decrease in other borrowings primarily reflects the use of funds received from investment securities being called before maturity and the increase in deposit funds. Non-performing assets at December 31, 2001 totaled $2.5 million, representing 0.14% of total assets, compared to $2.1 million, or 0.12% of total assets, at June 30, 2001. Non-accruing loans at December 31, 2001 totaled $2.3 million, with a ratio of non-accruing loans to total loans of 0.17%, as compared to $1.6 million, or 0.13% of total loans, at June 30, 2001. Real estate owned decreased to $241,000 at December 31, 2001 from $500,000 at June 30, 2001. Stockholders' equity at December 31, 2001 totaled $114.9 million compared to $112.5 million at June 30, 2001. The 9 increase reflects the net income recorded for the six months ended December 31, 2001 and the exercise of stock options partially offset by the repurchase of 340,000 shares of the Company's outstanding stock at an average market price of $20.95 per share and the declaration of cash dividends. Results of Operations General. For the three months ended December 31, 2001, net income was $3.6 million, or $0.46 per diluted share, as compared to net income of $3.0 million, or $0.38 per diluted share, for the comparable prior year period. For the six months ended December 31, 2001, net income was $7.1 million, or $0.91 per diluted share. These results compare to net income of $6.2 million, or $0.76 per diluted share, for the six months ended December 31, 2000. Interest and Dividend Income. Interest and dividend income for the three and six months ended December 31, 2001 increased to $30.3 million and $62.3 million, respectively, from $30.0 million and $60.5 million for the three and six months ended December 31, 2000. The increases in the current year periods were due to increases in average interest-earning assets partially offset by decreases in the average yield earned on these assets, when compared to the prior year periods. Average interest-earning assets were $1.797 billion and $1.815 billion for the three and six months ended December 31, 2001, respectively, compared to $1.652 billion and $1.671 billion for the comparable prior year periods. The average yield earned on interest-earning assets decreased to 6.73% for the three months ended December 31, 2001 from 7.25% for the three months ended December 31, 2000. For the six months ended December 31, 2001, the average yield earned on interest-earning assets decreased to 6.84% from 7.22% for the comparable prior year period. Interest income on residential one- to four-family mortgage loans for the three and six months ended December 31, 2001 increased $625,000 and $588,000, respectively, when compared to the prior year periods. The increases in interest income on residential one- to four-family mortgage loans were due to increases of $118.0 million and $75.6 million in the average balance outstanding for the three and six months ended December 31, 2001, respectively, when compared to the prior year periods. The increases in interest income on residential one- to four-family mortgage loans were partially offset by decreases in the average yield earned on these loans. For the three months ended December 31, 2001, the average yield earned on residential one- to four-family mortgage loans decreased to 6.63% from 7.15% for the three months ended December 31, 2000. The average yield earned on this portfolio for the six months ended December 31, 2001 decreased to 6.75% from 7.12% for the comparable prior year period. Interest income on commercial and multi-family real estate loans increased $342,000 and $753,000 for the three and six months ended December 31, 2001, respectively, when compared to the prior year periods. The increases in interest income on commercial and multi-family real estate loans were attributable to increases of $22.8 million and $22.4 million in the average outstanding balance for the three and six months ended December 31, 2001, respectively, when compared to the prior year periods. The growth in interest income on this portfolio was partially offset by decreases in the average yield earned on commercial and multi-family real estate loans. The average yield decreased to 8.14% and 8.22% for the current three and six month periods, respectively, compared to 8.69% and 8.61% for the three and six months ended December 31, 2000. Interest income on consumer loans decreased $35,000 and increased $119,000 for the three and six months ended December 31, 2001, respectively, when compared to the prior year periods. The decrease in interest income for this loan portfolio for the three months ended December 31, 2001 was due to a decrease in the average yield earned on consumer loans to 6.88% from 7.87% for the three months ended December 31, 2000. Partially offsetting the decrease in interest income on consumer loans for the current three month period was an increase of $13.1 million in the average balance outstanding, when compared to the prior year period. For the six months ended December 31, 2001, the increase in interest income on consumer loans was attributable to an increase of $15.3 million in the average balance outstanding, when compared to the six months ended December 31, 2000. The average yield earned on consumer loans for the six months ended December 31, 2001 decreased to 7.03% from 7.84% for the prior year period, partially offsetting the increase in the average balance for the current six month period. Interest income on investment securities and other interest-earning assets decreased $1.6 million and $1.3 million for the three and six months ended December 31, 2001, respectively, compared to the prior year periods. The decreases in interest income on these securities is partially attributable to a $77.2 million and a $27.7 million decrease in the average balance outstanding for the three and six months ended December 31, 2001, respectively, when compared to 10 the prior year periods. In addition, the decreases in interest income on investment securities and other interest-earning assets were due to declines in the average yield earned on these securities. The average yield decreased to 6.61% and 6.74% for the current three and six month periods, respectively, compared to 6.99% and 6.98% for the prior year periods. Interest income on the mortgage-backed securities portfolio increased $988,000 and $1.7 million for the three and six months ended December 31, 2001, respectively, compared to the prior year periods. The increases in interest income on mortgage-backed securities primarily reflects a $69.9 million and a $59.0 million increase in the average balance outstanding for the three and six months ended December 31, 2001, respectively, compared to the prior year periods. The increases in interest income were partially offset by decreases in the average yield earned on the mortgage-backed securities portfolio to 6.46% and 6.54% for the three and six months ended December 31, 2001, respectively, compared to 7.10% and 7.03% for the three and six months ended December 31, 2000. Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $1.7 million and $2.5 million for the three and six months ended December 31, 2001, respectively, from the comparable December 2000 periods. The decrease in the current three month period was attributable to an 80 basis point decrease in the Company's cost of funds partially offset by a $124.6 million increase in total average deposits and borrowings, when compared to the prior year period. For the six months ended December 31, 2001, the cost of funds decreased 69 basis points while total average deposits and borrowings increased $126.6 million, when compared to the six months ended December 31, 2000. For the three and six months ended December 31, 2001, the average rate paid on deposits decreased to 3.84% and 3.96%, respectively, from 4.85% and 4.80% for the three and six months ended December 31, 2000. The average balance of deposits increased $30.6 million and $25.8 million, respectively, from the $1.104 billion and $1.105 billion for the three and six months ended December 31, 2000. The average cost of FHLB of New York advances decreased 36 basis points and 29 basis points for the three and six months ended December 31, 2001, respectively, while the average balance of FHLB of New York advances increased $90.3 million and $90.7 million for the same respective periods, when compared to the prior year periods. For the three and six months ended December 31, 2001, the average rate paid on other borrowings decreased to 4.65% and 4.44%, respectively, from 6.25% and 6.35% for the three and six months ended December 31, 2000. The average balance of other borrowings increased $3.7 million and $10.1 million, respectively, compared to the prior year periods. Net Interest and Dividend Income. Net interest and dividend income before provision for loan losses for the three and six months ended December 31, 2001 was $11.7 million and $23.9 million, respectively, reflecting a $2.0 million and $4.3 million increase from the $9.7 million and $19.6 million recorded in the comparable prior year periods. The net interest rate spread and net interest margin for the three months ended December 31, 2001 were 2.31% and 2.64%, respectively, an increase from 2.03% and 2.40%, respectively, for the comparable prior year period. For the six months ended December 31, 2001, the net interest rate spread and net interest margin were 2.33% and 2.67%, respectively, an increase from 2.02% and 2.38%, respectively, for the six months ended December 31, 2000. A decline in short-term market interest rates and growth in the Company's loan portfolio and core deposit accounts contributed to the improvements in net interest margin. Provision for Loan Losses. The provision for loan losses for the three and six months ended December 31, 2001 was $375,000 and $925,000, respectively, compared to $125,000 and $325,000 for the comparable prior year periods. The Company continues to closely monitor all delinquent loans, with special consideration of the loans of those families affected by the World Trade Center disaster. The allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2001 of $5.2 million reflects a $918,000 increase from the June 30, 2001 level. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of non-accruing loans was 225.69% at December 31, 2001, compared to 259.50% at June 30, 2001. The allowance for loan losses was 0.39% of total loans at December 31, 2001, an increase from 0.33% of total loans at June 30, 2001. Non-Interest Income. For the three and six months ended December 31, 2001, non-interest income was $1.0 million and $1.9 million, respectively, compared to $975,000 and $2.0 million for the prior year periods. The increase in non-interest income for the current three month period was primarily due to increases in service charges and other non-interest income offset by a decrease in the net gain on sales of loans, when compared to the three months ended December 31, 2000. The decrease in non-interest income for the six months ended December 31, 2001 was attributable to a decrease in the net gain on sales of loans partially offset by increases in service charges and other 11 non-interest income, compared to the prior year period. During the three and six months ended December 31, 2001, the net gain on sales of loans was $45,000 and $87,000, respectively, as compared to $245,000 and $559,000 for the three and six months ended December 31, 2000. Loan production has been retained in portfolio during the current periods as a partial replacement of the investment securities called before maturity. During the three and six months ended December 31, 2000, nearly $7 million and $15 million of conforming, fixed rate one- to four-family residential loans were sold, respectively, generating gains of $43,000 and $150,000 for those respective periods. In addition, during the three and six months ended December 31, 2000, the Company sold approximately $19 million and $65 million, respectively, of longer duration, one- to four-family residential mortgage loans in an effort to improve funding, liquidity, interest rate risk and net interest margin and recorded net gains on sales of loans of $200,000 and $407,000 for those respective periods. Service charge income for the three and six months ended December 31, 2001 was $762,000 and $1.4 million, respectively, increases of $145,000 and $215,000 over the $617,000 and $1.2 million recorded for the prior year periods. Service charges were positively impacted by fees associated with various loan prepayments and refinances. For the three and six months ended December 31, 2001, the net loss from real estate operations was $7,000 and $46,000, respectively, as compared to $4,000 loss for both the three and six months ended December 31, 2000. Other non-interest income increased $92,000 and $119,000 to $209,000 and $404,000 for the three and six months ended December 31, 2001, respectively, from $117,000 and $285,000 for the three and six months ended December 31, 2000. Other non-interest income included $76,000 and $92,000 of increases in earnings from the Investment Services at Penn Federal program for the three and six months ended December 31, 2001, respectively, when compared to the prior year periods. Through this program, customers have convenient access to financial consulting/advisory services and related uninsured non-deposit investment and insurance products. Non-Interest Expenses. Non-interest expenses were $6.8 million and $13.8 million for the three and six months ended December 31, 2001, respectively, representing increases over the $5.9 million and $11.7 million recorded during the prior year periods. An increase in preferred securities expense due to the issuance of $12 million of Trust Preferred securities in March 2001, additional "non-cash" expense related to the Employee Stock Ownership Plan, additional costs related to the Bank's new Business Development department and expenses related to the Company's development of an internet presence contributed to the increase in non-interest expenses during the current year periods when compared to the prior year periods. The Company's non-interest expenses as a percent of average assets increased to 1.49% and 1.48% for the three and six months ended December 31, 2001, respectively, from 1.38% and 1.36% for the comparable prior year periods. Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense for the three and six months ended December 31, 2001 was $1.9 million and $3.9 million, respectively, compared to $1.7 million and $3.4 million for the three and six months ended December 31, 2000. The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended December 31, 2001 was 35.3% and 35.5%, respectively, compared to 35.2% and 35.3% for the three and six months ended December 31, 2000. 12 Analysis of Net Interest Income The following tables set forth certain information relating to the Company's consolidated statements of financial condition and the consolidated statements of income for the three and six months ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, and reflects the average yield on assets and average cost of liabilities for the periods indicated. Such yields and costs are derived from average daily balances. The average balance of loans receivable includes non-accruing loans. The yields and costs include fees which are considered adjustments to yields.

categories of non-performing assets. Loans are placed on non-accrual status when the collection of principal or interest becomes delinquent more than 90 days. There are no loans delinquent more than 90 days which are still accruing. Real estate owned represents assets acquired in settlement of loans and is shown net of valuation allowances.

The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses based on management's evaluation of the risk inherent in its loan portfolio and changes in the nature and volume of its loan activity. Such evaluation, which includes a review of loans for which full collectibility may not be reasonably assured, considers among other matters, loan classifications, the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral, economic conditions, historical loan loss experience, and other factors that warrant recognition in providing for an adequate loan loss allowance. Real estate properties acquired through foreclosure are recorded at the lower of cost or estimated fair value less costs to dispose of such properties. If fair value at the date of foreclosure is lower than the balance of the related loan, the difference will be charged-off to the allowance for loan losses at the time of transfer. Valuations are periodically updated by management and if the value declines, a specific provision for losses on real estate owned is established by a charge to operations. Although management believes that it uses the best information available to determine the allowances, unforeseen market conditions could result in adjustments and net earnings could be significantly affected if circumstances differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the final determination. Future additions to the Company's allowances will be the result of periodic loan, property and collateral reviews and thus cannot be predicted in advance. In addition, federal regulatory agencies, as an integral part of the examination process, periodically review the Company's allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require the Company to record additions to the allowance level based upon their assessment of the information available to them at the time of examination. At December 31, 2001, the Company had a total allowance for loan losses of $5.2 million representing 225.69% of total non-accruing loans and 0.39% of total loans. Interest Rate Sensitivity Interest Rate Sensitivity Gap. The interest rate risk inherent in assets and liabilities may be determined by analyzing the extent to which such assets and liabilities are "interest rate sensitive" and by measuring an institution's interest rate sensitivity "gap." An asset or liability is said to be interest rate sensitive within a 15 defined time period if it matures or reprices within that period. The difference or mismatch between the amount of interest-earning assets maturing or repricing within a defined period and the amount of interest-bearing liabilities maturing or repricing within the same period is defined as the interest rate sensitivity gap. An institution is considered to have a negative gap if the amount of interest-bearing liabilities maturing or repricing within a specified time period exceeds the amount of interest-earning assets maturing or repricing within the same period. If more interest-earning assets than interest-bearing liabilities mature or reprice within a specified period, then the institution is considered to have a positive gap. Accordingly, in a rising interest rate environment, in an institution with a negative gap, the cost of its rate sensitive liabilities would theoretically rise at a faster pace than the yield on its rate sensitive assets, thereby diminishing future net interest income. In a falling interest rate environment, a negative gap would indicate that the cost of rate sensitive liabilities would decline at a faster pace than the yield on rate sensitive assets and improve net interest income. For an institution with a positive gap, the reverse would be expected. At December 31, 2001, the Company's total deposits and borrowings maturing or repricing within one year exceeded its total interest-earning assets maturing or repricing within one year by $72.3 million, representing a one year negative gap of 4.00% of total assets, compared to a one year negative gap of 14.48% of total assets at June 30, 2001. The Company's gap position changed from June 30, 2001 primarily due to investment securities that have been called or are assumed to be called. The decline in market interest rates has resulted in certain investment securities being called before maturity, the proceeds of which were used to reduce short-term borrowings. Also contributing to the change in the gap position was an increase in core deposits and medium-term certificates of deposit coupled with a decrease in short-term certificates of deposit, including municipal certificates of deposit. In evaluating the Company's exposure to interest rate risk, certain limitations inherent in the method of interest rate gap analysis must be considered. For example, although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or periods to repricing, they may react in different degrees to changes in market interest rates. Also, the interest rates on certain types of assets and liabilities may fluctuate in advance of changes in market interest rates, while interest rates on other types may lag behind changes in market rates. Additionally, certain assets, such as adjustable rate mortgages, have features which restrict changes in interest rates in the short-term and over the life of the asset. Further, in the event of a change in interest rates, prepayment and early withdrawal levels may deviate significantly from those assumed in calculating the gap position. Finally, the ability of many borrowers to service their debt may decrease in the event of an interest rate increase. The Company considers all of these factors in monitoring its exposure to interest rate risk. Net Portfolio Value. The Company's interest rate sensitivity is regularly monitored by management through selected interest rate risk ("IRR") measures, including an IRR "Exposure Measure" or "Post-Shock" NPV ratio and a "Sensitivity Measure." A low Post-Shock NPV ratio indicates greater exposure to IRR. Greater exposure can result from a low initial NPV ratio or high sensitivity to changes in interest rates. The Sensitivity Measure is the change in the NPV ratio, in basis points, caused by a 2% increase or decrease in rates, whichever produces a larger decline. At least quarterly, and generally monthly, management models the change in net portfolio value ("NPV") over a variety of interest rate scenarios. NPV is the present value of expected cash flows from assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet contracts. An NPV ratio, in any interest rate scenario, is defined as the NPV in that rate scenario divided by the market value of assets in the same scenario. As of December 31, 2001, the Bank's internally generated initial NPV ratio was 4.95%. Following a 2% increase in interest rates, the Bank's Post-Shock NPV ratio was 4.93%. The change in the NPV ratio, or the Bank's Sensitivity Measure, was 0.02%. As of December 31, 2001, the Company's internally generated initial NPV ratio was 4.61%, the Post-Shock ratio was 4.50%, and the Sensitivity Measure was 0.11%. The duration of assets has declined as certain investment securities are assumed to be called in both the base and post-shock scenarios. Conversely, the duration of liabilities has extended in both scenarios principally due to the call features on convertible FHLB of New York advances. Variances between the Bank's and the Company's NPV ratios are attributable to balance sheet items which are adjusted during consolidation, such as investments, intercompany borrowings and capital. Internally generated NPV measurements are based on simulations which utilize institution specific assumptions and, as such, generally result in lower levels of presumed interest rate risk (i.e., higher Post-Shock NPV ratio and lower Sensitivity Measure) than Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS") measurements indicate. The OTS measures the Bank's (unconsolidated) IRR on a quarterly basis using data from the quarterly Thrift Financial 16 Reports filed by the Bank with the OTS, coupled with non-institution specific assumptions which are based on national averages. As of September 30, 2001 (the latest date for which information is available), the Bank's initial NPV ratio, as measured by the OTS, was 7.77%, the Bank's Post-Shock ratio was 5.34% and the Sensitivity Measure was 2.43%. In addition to monitoring NPV and gap, management also monitors the duration of assets and liabilities and the effects on net interest income resulting from parallel and non-parallel increases or decreases in rates. At December 31, 2001, based on its internally generated simulation models, the Company's consolidated net interest income projected for one year forward would decrease 1% from the base case, or current market, as a result of an immediate and sustained 2% increase in interest rates. Liquidity and Capital Resources The Company's primary sources of funds are deposits, principal and interest payments on loans and mortgage-backed securities, and borrowings from the FHLB of New York. While scheduled loan repayments and maturing investments are relatively predictable, deposit flows and early loan repayments are more influenced by interest rates, general economic conditions and competition. The Company has competitively set rates on deposit products for selected terms and, when necessary, has supplemented deposits with longer-term or less expensive alternative sources of funds. The Bank maintains appropriate levels of liquid assets. The Company's most liquid assets are cash and cash equivalents, U.S. government agency securities and mortgage-backed securities. The levels of these assets are dependent on the Bank's operating, financing, lending and investing activities during any given period. At December 31, 2001 and June 30, 2001, the Bank's liquidity ratios were 19.96% and 21.50%, respectively. The Company uses its liquid resources principally to fund maturing certificates of deposit and deposit withdrawals, to purchase loans and securities, to fund existing and future loan commitments, and to meet operating expenses. Management believes that loan repayments and other sources of funds will be adequate to meet the Company's foreseeable liquidity needs. The Company's cash needs for the six months ended December 31, 2001 were provided by operating activities, proceeds from maturities of investment securities, increased deposits and principal repayments of loans and mortgage-backed securities. During this period, the cash provided was used for the origination and purchase of loans, the purchase of investment and mortgage-backed securities, as well as to reduce borrowings. During the six months ended December 31, 2000, the cash needs of the Company were provided by operating activities, primarily from proceeds from the sales of loans, increased deposits and principal repayments of loans and mortgage-backed securities. During this period, the cash provided was used for investing activities, which included the origination and purchase of loans, as well as to reduce borrowings. Current regulatory standards impose the following capital requirements: a risk-based capital standard expressed as a percentage of risk-adjusted assets; a ratio of core capital to risk-adjusted assets; a leverage ratio of core capital to total adjusted assets; and a tangible capital ratio expressed as a percentage of total adjusted assets. As of December 31, 2001, the Bank exceeded all regulatory capital requirements and qualified as a "well-capitalized" institution (see Note 4. - Stockholders' Equity and Regulatory Capital, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements). 17 PART II - Other Information Item 1.
