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, 2002. 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, 2002 and 2001. The interim results of operations presented are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. 2. Commitments to Originate Loans The Company enters into commitments to originate loans whereby the interest rate on the loan is determined prior to funding (rate lock commitments). Rate lock commitments on mortgage loans that are intended to be sold are considered to be derivatives and are recorded within other assets at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in the net gain on sales of loans. Fair value is based upon current prices in the secondary market for mortgage loans with similar characteristics as the rate lock commitments. 3. Adoption of Recently Issued Accounting Standards Effective July 1, 2002, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ("SFAS 142"), Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations" ("SFAS 143") and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" ("SFAS 144"). SFAS 142 requires that, upon adoption, amortization of goodwill will cease and instead, the carrying value of goodwill will be evaluated for impairment on an annual basis. Identifiable intangible assets will continue to be amortized over their useful lives and reviewed for impairment in accordance with Statement of Financial Position No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of" ("SFAS 121"). SFAS 143 requires that the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation be recognized in the period in which it is incurred, if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The associated asset retirement cost would be capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset. SFAS 144 supersedes SFAS 121 but 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. The adoption of SFAS 142, SFAS 143 and SFAS 144 did not have an effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations or cash flows as of and for the six months ended December 31, 2002. Effective October 1, 2002, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 147, "Acquisitions of Certain Financial Institutions, an amendment of FASB Statements No. 72 and 144 and FASB Interpretation No. 9" ("SFAS 147"). Among other things, SFAS 147 amends SFAS 144 to include in its scope long-term customer-relationship intangible assets of financial institutions such as depositor- and borrower-relationship intangible assets. Consequently, those intangible assets are subject to the same undiscounted cash flow recoverability test and impairment loss recognition and measurement provisions that SFAS 144 requires for other long-lived assets that are held and used. The adoption of SFAS 147 did not have an effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows as of and for the six months ended December 31, 2002. 8 In November 2002, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 45, "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others" ("FIN 45"). FIN 45 addresses the disclosures to be made by a guarantor in its interim and annual financial statements about its obligations under guarantees. FIN 45 also clarifies the requirements related to the recognition of a liability by a guarantor at the inception of a guarantee for the obligations the guarantor has undertaken in issuing that guarantee. For recognition and initial measurement, FIN 45 is applicable on a prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. For disclosure requirements, FIN 45 is effective for financial statements of interim or annual periods ending after December 15, 2002. 4. Recently Issued Accounting Standards In December 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure" ("SFAS 148"). SFAS 148 amends FASB Statement No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS 123"), to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. SFAS 148 is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2002. As the Company did not adopt the SFAS 123 fair value based method of accounting for stock options, the adoption of SFAS 148 should have no impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations. In January 2003, FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities" ("FIN 46"). FIN 46 is an interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, "Consolidated Financial Statements" and addresses consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities having certain characteristics. FIN 46 is effective immediately for certain disclosure requirements and variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003 and in fiscal 2003 for all other variable interest entities. As the Company does not have variable interest entities, the adoption of FIN 46 will not have an effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows. 5. Other Contingencies In 1987, the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection ("NJDEP") conducted an environmental contamination investigation of the Orange Road branch site of First Federal Savings and Loan Association of Montclair ("First Federal"). Prior to the acquisition by First Federal, the location was used as a gasoline service station. On August 16, 1989, the NJDEP issued a "no further action" letter to First Federal with regard to this site. The Bank acquired First Federal effective September 11, 1989. Notwithstanding the earlier "no further action" letter, on June 25, 1997, the NJDEP issued a letter demanding that Penn Federal Savings Bank develop a remedial work plan for the Orange Road branch site as a result of an investigation conducted on behalf of an adjacent property owner. The Bank disputed the NJDEP position that Penn Federal Savings Bank was a responsible party. On July 1, 1998, the NJDEP issued a letter determining that Penn Federal Savings Bank, Mobil Oil Corporation (now ExxonMobil) and the former gasoline service station owner were all responsible parties for the clean up at the subject site. Responsible parties may ultimately have full or partial obligation for the cost of remediation. In order to comply with the NJDEP, the Bank has entered into a cost sharing arrangement with ExxonMobil whereby ExxonMobil has agreed to develop and implement the remedial action work plan required by the NJDEP. Based upon an environmental engineering report, a remedial investigation would cost approximately $30,000. The environmental engineering company has also indicated that, based upon their experience with similar type projects, the majority of cases are addressed by natural remediation. Natural remediation costs, if needed, range from $60,000 to $150,000. At December 31, 2002 and June 30, 2002, a contingent environmental liability of $45,000 is included in Accounts payable and other liabilities on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. The $45,000 represents one-half of the remedial investigation (one-half of $30,000, or $15,000) plus one-half of the lower end of the range for natural remediation (one-half of $60,000, or $30,000). Based upon the most current information available, management believes the $45,000 represents the most likely liability at this time. 9 6.

Savings and loan holding companies, such as PennFed, are not subject to capital requirements for capital adequacy purposes or for prompt corrective action requirements.

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 of the interest paid on deposits and borrowings. 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. These 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, the relationship of short-term interest rates to long-term interest rates, 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 forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. The Company wishes to advise readers that the factors listed above, as well as other factors, 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 these statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events. Financial Condition Total assets decreased $54.5 million to $1.838 billion at December 31, 2002 from $1.892 billion at June 30, 2002. The decrease was primarily due to a $68.2 million decrease in net loans receivable and a $39.5 million decrease in mortgage-backed securities, offset by a $23.3 million increase in cash and cash equivalents and a $20.2 million increase in investment securities held to maturity. Low market interest rates and the resulting effect of loan refinancing activity has led to an increase in the runoff of the mortgage-backed securities portfolio. The effects of accelerated prepayments on loans and the sale of conforming, fixed rate, one- to four-family residential mortgage loans into the secondary market have more than offset our loan originations. Due to the lower yielding investment alternatives that have been available in the market and with increased cash flows from asset repayments and the sale of loans, cash and cash equivalents have increased since June 30, 2002. Deposits decreased $48.1 million to $1.126 billion at December 31, 2002 from $1.175 billion at June 30, 2002. A decrease in short- and medium-term certificates of deposit was partially offset by an increase in core deposit accounts (checking, money market and savings accounts). At December 31, 2002, Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") of New York advances and other borrowings remained relatively unchanged from June 30, 2002. Non-performing assets at December 31, 2002 totaled $1.7 million, a decrease of $1.6 million from the $3.3 million recorded at June 30, 2002. The ratio of non-performing assets to total assets decreased to 0.09% at December 31, 2002 from 0.17% at June 30, 2002. Non-accruing loans at December 31, 2002 totaled $1.7 million, as compared to $3.3 million at June 30, 2002, while the ratio of non-accruing loans to total loans decreased to 0.12% at December 31, 2002 from 0.23% at June 30, 2002. Real estate owned at December 31, 2002 remained unchanged at $28,000. Stockholders' equity at December 31, 2002 totaled $120.0 million compared to $118.8 million at June 30, 2002. The increase primarily reflects the net income recorded for the six months ended December 31, 2002 and the exercise of stock options, partially offset by the repurchase of 255,000 shares of the Company's outstanding stock at an average price of $26.29 per share and the declaration of cash dividends. 12 Results of Operations General. For the three months ended December 31, 2002, net income was $3.8 million, or $0.51 per diluted share, compared to net income of $3.6 million, or $0.46 per diluted share, for the comparable prior year period. For the six months ended December 31, 2002, net income was $7.6 million, or $1.01 per diluted share. These results compare to net income of $7.1 million, or $0.91 per diluted share, for the six months ended December 31, 2001. Interest and Dividend Income. Interest and dividend income for the three and six months ended December 31, 2002 decreased to $27.4 million and $56.4 million, respectively, from $30.3 million and $62.3 million for the three and six months ended December 31, 2001. In general, the decline in interest and dividend income reflects a lower level of interest-earning assets due to the effects of loan sales and accelerated prepayments, and a lower yield earned on these assets as a result of prepayments of higher yielding loans and origination of loans at lower market interest rates. Average interest-earning assets were $1.792 billion and $1.807 billion for the three and six months ended December 31, 2002, respectively, compared to $1.797 billion and $1.815 billion for the comparable prior year periods. The average yield earned on interest-earning assets decreased to 6.08% for the three months ended December 31, 2002 from 6.73% for the three months ended December 31, 2001. For the six months ended December 31, 2002, the average yield earned on interest-earning assets decreased to 6.22% from 6.84% 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, 2002 decreased $2.5 million and $3.6 million, respectively, when compared to the prior year periods. The decrease in interest income on residential one- to four-family mortgage loans for the three months ended December 31, 2002 was due to a decrease in the average yield earned on this loan portfolio to 5.93% from 6.63% for the three months ended December 31, 2001, reflecting the payoff or refinance of higher yielding loans and the origination of lower yielding loans. In addition, the decrease in interest income on residential one- to four-family mortgage loans for the three months ended December 31, 2002 was due to a decrease in the average balance outstanding to $1.123 billion from $1.154 billion for the prior year period as the result of accelerated prepayments and loan sales. For the six months ended December 31, 2002, the decrease in interest income on residential one- to four-family mortgage loans was primarily due to a decrease in the average yield earned on this loan portfolio, when compared to the prior year period. The average yield earned on residential one- to four-family mortgage loans for the six months ended December 31, 2002 decreased to 6.09% from 6.75% for the six months ended December 31, 2001. The average balance outstanding of residential one- to four-family mortgage loans increased slightly to $1.145 billion for the six months ended December 31, 2002 compared to $1.139 billion for the prior year period. Interest income on commercial and multi-family real estate loans increased $749,000 and $1.4 million for the three and six months ended December 31, 2002, respectively, when compared to the prior year periods. At December 31, 2002, commercial and multi-family real estate loans represented approximately 11.6% of the Company's gross loan portfolio, as compared to 10.1% at June 30, 2002. The increases in interest income on commercial and multi-family real estate loans were attributable to increases of $42.6 million and $39.8 million in the average outstanding balance for the three and six months ended December 31, 2002, respectively, when compared to the prior year periods. The growth in interest income for 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 7.82% and 7.89% for the current three and six month periods, respectively, compared to 8.14% and 8.22% for the three and six months ended December 31, 2001. As with other loans, the payoff of higher yielding loans and the origination of loans at lower market interest rates has resulted in a decline in the yield of the commercial and multi-family real estate loan portfolio. Interest income on consumer loans decreased $244,000 and $450,000 for the three and six months ended December 31, 2002, respectively, when compared to the prior year periods. The decreases in interest income for this loan portfolio are reflective of the lower market interest rates. The average yield earned on consumer loans decreased to 6.20% and 6.28% for the three and six months ended December 31, 2002, respectively, from 6.88% and 7.03% for the comparable prior year periods. In addition, the decreases in interest income on consumer loans were attributable to decreases of $2.6 million and $155,000 in the average balance outstanding for the three and six months ended December 31, 2002, respectively, when compared to the three and six months ended December 31, 2001. Interest income on investment securities and other interest-earning assets decreased $497,000 and $3.1 million for the three and six months ended December 31, 2002, respectively, compared to the prior year periods. The decreases in interest income on these securities is partially attributable to a $4.6 million and a $65.4 million decrease in the average balance outstanding for the three and six months ended December 31, 2002, respectively, when compared to the prior 13 year periods. The decrease in the average balance is primarily attributable to callable investment securities that were redeemed before maturity. 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 5.92% and 5.93% for the current three and six month periods, respectively, compared to 6.61% and 6.74% for the three and six months ended December 31, 2001 as called investment securities were replaced with lower yielding investments. Interest income on the mortgage-backed securities portfolio decreased $515,000 and $135,000 for the three and six months ended December 31, 2002, respectively, compared to the prior year periods, primarily as the result of accelerated prepayments. The decrease in interest income on mortgage-backed securities for the three months ended December 31, 2002 was due to a decrease in the average yield earned on this loan portfolio to 5.68% from 6.46% for the three months ended December 31, 2001. In addition, the decrease in interest income on mortgage-backed securities for the three months ended December 31, 2002 was due to a decrease in the average balance outstanding to $144.0 million from $158.4 million for the prior year period. For the six months ended December 31, 2002, the decrease in interest income on mortgage-backed securities was due to a decrease in the average yield earned on these securities partially offset by an increase in the average balance outstanding, when compared to the prior year period. The average yield earned on mortgage-backed securities for the six months ended December 31, 2002 decreased to 5.94% from 6.54% for the six months ended December 31, 2001. The average balance outstanding of mortgage-backed securities increased to $154.0 million for the six months ended December 31, 2002 compared to $144.2 million for the prior year period. Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $2.2 million and $4.8 million for the three and six months ended December 31, 2002, respectively, from the comparable prior year periods. The decreases in the current year periods were attributable to decreases in the Company's cost of funds from average rates of 3.86% and 3.93% for the three and six months ended December 31, 2002, respectively, from 4.42% and 4.51% for the comparable prior year periods, as a result of lower market interest rates. Partially offsetting the decreases in interest expense were increases of $18.2 million and $6.3 million in total average deposits and borrowings for the three and six months ended December 31, 2002, respectively, when compared to the prior year periods. For the three and six months ended December 31, 2002, the average rate paid on deposits decreased to 3.05% and 3.17%, respectively, from 3.84% and 3.96% for the three and six months ended December 31, 2001. Average deposit balances increased $15.9 million and $29.0 million to $1.150 billion and $1.159 billion for the three and six months ended December 31, 2002, respectively. With a reduction in the Company's funding needs as a result of loan sales and accelerated loan prepayments, higher costing certificates of deposit have been priced to allow runoff. Increases in core deposits may be partially attributable to the lack of investment alternatives in this lower interest rate environment. The average cost of FHLB of New York advances decreased to 5.66% for the three and six months ended December 31, 2002 from 5.80% and 5.86% while the average balance of FHLB of New York advances increased $30.6 million and $38.1 million for the same respective periods, when compared to the prior year periods. For the three and six months ended December 31, 2002, the average balance of other borrowings decreased $28.3 million and $60.8 million, respectively, when compared to the three and six months ended December 31, 2001. For the three months ended December 31, 2002, the average rate paid on other borrowings decreased to 4.61% from 4.65% while the average rate increased to 4.64% from 4.44% for the six months ended December 31, 2002. Net Interest and Dividend Income. Net interest and dividend income before provision for loan losses for the three and six months ended December 31, 2002 was $11.0 million and $22.7 million, respectively, reflecting a $779,000 and $1.1 million decrease from the $11.7 million and $23.9 million recorded in the comparable prior year periods. Average net interest-earning assets decreased $23.9 million and $14.1 million for the three and six months ended December 31, 2002, respectively, when compared to the prior year periods. The net interest rate spread and net interest margin for the three months ended December 31, 2002 were 2.22% and 2.47%, respectively, a decrease from 2.31% and 2.64% for the comparable prior year period. For the six months ended December 31, 2002, the net interest rate spread and net interest margin were 2.29% and 2.54%, respectively, a decrease from 2.33% and 2.67% for the six months ended December 31, 2001. Due to accelerated prepayments resulting from lower market interest rates, the net interest margin was reduced during the current periods when compared to the prior year periods. Provision for Loan Losses. The provision for loan losses for the three and six months ended December 31, 2002 was $200,000 and $425,000, respectively, compared to $375,000 and $925,000 for the comparable prior year periods. The 14 reduced provision for loan losses for the current year periods is consistent with a reduction in non-performing loans. The allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2002 of $6.2 million reflects a $405,000 increase from the $5.8 million at June 30, 2002. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of non-accruing loans was 371.04% at December 31, 2002, compared to 177.74% at June 30, 2002. Non-accruing loans were $1.7 million at December 31, 2002 compared to $3.3 million at June 30, 2002. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans at December 31, 2002 was 0.45% compared to 0.40% at June 30, 2002. Non-Interest Income. For the three and six months ended December 31, 2002, non-interest income was $2.1 million and $3.6 million, respectively, compared to $1.0 million and $1.9 million for the prior year periods. The increases in non-interest income for the current periods were primarily due to increases in service charges, net gain on sales of loans and other non-interest income, when compared to the three and six months ended December 31, 2001. Service charge income for the three and six months ended December 31, 2002 was $1.2 million and $2.4 million, respectively, reflecting increases of $468,000 and $944,000 over the $762,000 and $1.4 million recorded for the prior year periods. Service charges increased partially because of fees associated with various loan prepayments and refinances. During the three and six months ended December 31, 2002, the net gain on sales of loans was $563,000 and $794,000, respectively, compared to $45,000 and $87,000 for the three and six months ended December 31, 2001. Approximately $46.0 million and $58.5 million of conforming, fixed rate one- to four-family residential mortgage loans were sold into the secondary market during the three and six months ended December 31, 2002, respectively. In addition, during the three months ended December 31, 2002, a $4.0 million commercial real estate loan participation was sold as a means to reduce the Company's credit exposure on a single commercial real estate property, realizing a net gain of approximately $183,000. During the three and six months ended December 31, 2001, loan production was retained in portfolio as a partial replacement of investment securities called before maturity. In addition, effective with the issuance of $12 million of Trust Preferred securities in March 2001, a determination was made to suspend the sale of conforming, fixed rate one- to four-family residential mortgage loan production to leverage the proceeds of the issuance. As a result, only $5.2 million and $8.6 million of these conforming, fixed rate one- to four-family residential mortgage loans were sold during the three and six months ended December 31, 2001, respectively. In April 2002, the Company resumed the sale of these loans for interest rate risk management purposes in this low interest rate environment. Other non-interest income increased $57,000 and $88,000 for the three and six months ended December 31, 2002, respectively, when compared to the prior year periods. Other non-interest income included $38,000 and $81,000 of increases in earnings from the Investment Services at Penn Federal program for the three and six months ended December 31, 2002, 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 for the three months ended December 31, 2002, relatively unchanged from the prior year period. For the six months ended December 31, 2002, non-interest expenses were $13.9 million compared to $13.7 million for the six months ended December 31, 2001. The Company's non-interest expenses as a percent of average assets decreased to 1.46% for the three months ended December 31, 2002 from 1.49% for the prior year period. Non-interest expenses as a percent of average assets were 1.49% for the six months ended December 31, 2002 compared to 1.48% for the prior year period. Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense for the three and six months ended December 31, 2002 was $2.2 million and $4.4 million, respectively, compared to $1.9 million and $3.9 million for the three and six months ended December 31, 2001. The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended December 31, 2002 was 36.3% and 36.4%, respectively, compared to 35.3% and 35.5% for the three and six months ended December 31, 2001. The effective tax rates for the current year periods reflect a higher State of New Jersey income tax rate. 15 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, 2002 and 2001 and reflect the average yield on assets and average cost of liabilities for the periods indicated.

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.

This 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, portfolio growth and composition 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 the 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. Loan losses are charged against the allowance for loan losses when management believes that the recovery of principal is unlikely. If, as a result of loans charged off or increases in the size or risk characteristics of the loan portfolio, the allowance is below the level considered by management to be adequate to absorb future loan losses on existing loans, the provision for loan losses is increased to the level considered necessary to provide an adequate allowance. The allowance is an amount that management believes will be adequate to absorb probable losses on existing loans that may become uncollectible, based on evaluations of the collectibility of the loans. The evaluations take into consideration such factors as changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality, review of specific problem loans and current economic conditions that may affect the borrowers' ability to pay. Economic conditions may result in the necessity to change the allowance quickly in order to react to deteriorating financial conditions of the Company's borrowers. As a result, additional provisions on existing loans may be required in the future if borrowers' financial conditions deteriorate or if real estate values decline. Where appropriate, reserves are allocated to individual loans that exhibit observed or probable credit weakness. For example, reserves may be specifically assigned for loans that are 90 days or more past due, loans where the borrower has filed for bankruptcy or loans identified by the Company's internal loan review process. Reserves are based upon 19 management's estimate of the borrower's ability to repay the loan given the availability of collateral, other sources of cash flow and legal options available to the Company. For loans not subject to specific reserve allocations, historical loss rates by loan category are applied. An unallocated reserve is maintained to recognize the imprecision in estimating and measuring loss when evaluating reserves for individual loans or pools of loans. Reserves on individual loans are reviewed no less frequently than quarterly and adjusted as appropriate. The Company has not substantively changed any aspect of its overall approach in its determination of the level of the allowance for loan losses. There have been no material changes in assumptions of estimation techniques as compared to prior periods that impacted the determination of the current period allowance. 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 allowance 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. These 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, 2002, the Company had a total allowance for loan losses of $6.2 million representing 371.04% of total non-accruing loans and 0.45% of total loans. Based on the procedures discussed above, management is of the opinion the reserve of $6.2 million was adequate, but not excessive, to absorb probable credit losses associated with the loan portfolio at December 31, 2002. Off Balance Sheet - The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business. These financial instruments are not recorded on the balance sheet when either the exchange of the underlying asset or liability has not yet occurred. These financial instruments include certain commitments to extend credit, unused lines of credit and commitments to purchase loans. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. 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 these 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 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 positive gap if the amount of interest-earning assets maturing or repricing within a specified time period exceeds the amount of interest-bearing liabilities maturing or repricing within the same period. If more interest-bearing liabilities than interest-earning assets mature or reprice within a specified period, then the institution is considered to have a negative gap. Accordingly, in a rising interest rate environment, in an institution with a positive gap, the yield on its rate sensitive assets would theoretically rise at a faster pace than the cost of its rate sensitive liabilities, thereby improving future net interest income. In a falling interest rate environment, a positive gap would indicate that the yield on rate sensitive assets would decline at a faster pace than the cost of rate sensitive liabilities and diminish net interest income. For an institution with a negative gap, the reverse would be expected. At December 31, 2002, the Company's total interest-earning assets maturing or repricing within one year exceeded its total deposits and borrowings maturing or repricing within one year by $190.6 million, representing a one year positive gap of 10.36% of total assets, compared to a one year positive gap of 5.11% of total assets at June 30, 2002. The Company's gap position changed from June 30, 2002 primarily due to the decline in market interest rates which has increased prepayment activity on loans and mortgage-backed securities and has raised expectations that certain investment securities with callable features will be redeemed before maturity. Also contributing to the change in the gap position was a decrease in certificates of deposit maturing within one year, partially offset by an increase in FHLB of New York advances now maturing within one year. 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 20 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 additional 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, 2002, the Bank's internally generated initial NPV ratio was 4.16%. Following a 2% increase in interest rates, the Bank's Post-Shock NPV ratio was 6.38%. The change in the NPV ratio, or the Bank's Sensitivity Measure, was positive 2.22%. As of December 31, 2002, the Company's internally generated initial NPV ratio was 3.69%, the Post-Shock ratio was 5.90%, and the Sensitivity Measure was positive 2.21%. 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 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 Reports filed by the Bank with the OTS, coupled with non-institution specific assumptions which are based on national averages. As of September 30, 2002 (the latest date for which information is available), the Bank's initial NPV ratio, as measured by the OTS, was 8.10%, the Bank's Post-Shock ratio was 6.36% and the Sensitivity Measure was negative 1.74%. 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, 2002, based on its internally generated simulation models, the Company's consolidated net interest income projected for one year forward would increase 4.5% 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. 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, 2002 were provided by operating activities, including the sale of loans, proceeds from maturities of investment securities and principal repayments of loans and mortgage-backed securities. During this period, the cash provided was used for investing activities, which included the 21 origination of loans and the purchase of investment securities, as well as to fund a decrease in deposits. Additionally, during the six months ended December 31, 2002, cash provided was used for the repurchase of common stock. During the six months ended December 31, 2001, the cash needs of the Company 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 investing activities, which included the origination and purchase of loans, the purchase of investment and mortgage-backed securities, 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, 2002, the Bank exceeded all regulatory capital requirements and qualified as a "well-capitalized" institution (see Note 7. - Stockholders' Equity and Regulatory Capital, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements). Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk The Company's most significant form of market risk is interest rate risk, as the majority of its assets and liabilities are sensitive to changes in interest rates.
