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, 2002 and
2001, and the related  statement of changes in net assets available for benefits
for  the  year  ended  June  30,  2002.  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, 2002
and 2001,  and the changes in net assets  available  for  benefits  for the year
ended June 30, 2002 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
at End of Year 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 the Plan's management.  Such schedule has been
subjected  to the  auditing  procedures  applied  in our audit of the basic 2002
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 one and completing three months of service
          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
               $11,000 (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, Fundamental Growth Fund and
     Ready Assets Trust Fund were managed by Merrill Lynch  Investment  Managers
     Limited.  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, 2002 or 2001. Interest
     income is recorded on the accrual basis. Participant loans receivable are
     valued at cost, which approximates fair value.

     Participant Accounts - Prior to December 1, 2001, plan assets were under
     the trusteeship of Merrill Lynch Trust Company. Beginning December 1, 2001,
     plan assets are under the trusteeship of Frontier Trust Company, FSB.
     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.   Fundamental Growth Fund - The investment objective of the Fund is to
          seek long term growth of capital by investing in a 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).

     Investments in the CMA Money Fund represent contributions by employees or
     the employer that have been paid into the fund, but not yet allocated based
     on a participant's designated investment allocation.

     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.


                                     - 5 -



     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.

     Benefits Payable - Net assets available for benefits included benefits of
     $709,523 and $564,146 due to participants who have withdrawn from
     participation in the Plan, but were not yet paid as of June 30, 2002 and
     2001, 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.
