PENNFED FINANCIAL SERVICES, INC. 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")). 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, 2003. 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 three months ended September 30, 2003
and 2002. The interim results of operations presented are not necessarily
indicative of the results for the full year.
2. Bank Owned Life Insurance
The Bank has purchased Bank Owned Life Insurance ("BOLI") policies to fund
certain future employee benefit costs. The BOLI is recorded at its cash
surrender value and changes in the cash surrender value of the insurance are
recorded in other non-interest income.
3. Adoption of Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Effective July 1, 2003, the Company fully adopted Financial Accounting Standards
Board Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities" ("FIN
46") as it relates to PennFed Capital Trust II ("Trust II"). Although the
required adoption date was recently extended, the Company elected to early adopt
FIN 46, as permitted. 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. As a result of the adoption of FIN 46, Trust II is no longer
consolidated. The full adoption of FIN 46 did not have an overall impact on the
Company's consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
The primary effect of de-consolidating this subsidiary is a change in the
balance sheet classification of the liabilities from Guaranteed Preferred
Beneficial Interests in the Company's Junior Subordinated Deferrable Interest
Debentures to long-term borrowings.
Effective July 1, 2003, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 149, "Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities" ("SFAS 149"). SFAS 149 amends and clarifies accounting for
derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in
other contracts, and for hedging activities under SFAS 133. In particular, SFAS
149 clarifies under what circumstances a contract with an initial net investment
meets the characteristic of a derivative and when a derivative contains a
financing component that warrants special reporting in the statement of cash
flows. The adoption of SFAS 149 did not have an impact on the Company's
consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Effective July 1, 2003, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with
Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity" ("SFAS 150"). SFAS 150
establishes the standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain
financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. Under
SFAS 150, a mandatorily redeemable financial instrument shall be classified as a
liability. The adoption of SFAS 150 did not have an impact on the Company's
consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
4. Junior Subordinated Deferrable Interest Debentures
In 2001, PennFed formed a wholly-owned trust subsidiary, PennFed Capital Trust
II (the "Trust II"). On March 28, 2001, Trust II sold $12.0 million of 10.18%
cumulative trust preferred securities in a private transaction exempt from
registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act").
Therefore, these securities have not been registered under the Act. Trust II
used the proceeds from the sale of its trust preferred securities to purchase
10.18% junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures issued by PennFed. The
sole assets of Trust II are $12.4 million of junior subordinated deferrable
interest debentures which mature in 2031 and are redeemable at any time after
ten years. The obligations of PennFed related to Trust II constitute a full and
unconditional guarantee by PennFed of Trust II obligations under its trust
preferred securities. The Company used the proceeds from the junior subordinated
deferrable interest debentures for general corporate purposes, including a $4.2
million capital contribution to the Bank to support growth.
7
In 2003, PennFed formed a wholly-owned trust subsidiary, PennFed Capital Trust
III (the "Trust III"). On June 2, 2003, Trust III sold $30.0 million of variable
rate cumulative trust preferred securities in a private transaction exempt from
registration under the Act. Therefore, these securities have not been registered
under the Act. Trust III used the proceeds from the sale of its trust preferred
securities to purchase variable rate junior subordinated deferrable interest
debentures issued by PennFed. The sole assets of Trust III are $30.9 million of
junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures which mature in 2033 and are
redeemable at any time after five years. The obligations of PennFed related to
Trust III constitute a full and unconditional guarantee by PennFed of Trust III
obligations under its trust preferred securities. The Company used the proceeds
from the junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures together with
available cash to redeem $34.5 million of 8.90% cumulative trust preferred
securities issued by PennFed Capital Trust I in October 1997.

companies, however, are subject to capital requirements established by the Board
of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "FRB").

Item 2. 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

Financial Condition
Total assets decreased $34.3 million to $1.778 billion at September 30, 2003
from total assets of $1.812 billion at June 30, 2003. When compared to June 30,
2003, the decrease at September 30, 2003 was primarily due to a $42.5 million
decrease in net loans receivable. The effects of accelerated prepayments on
loans held to maturity and sales of predominately conforming, fixed rate, one-
to four-family residential mortgage loans held for sale into the secondary
market more than offset loan originations.
Deposits decreased $13.8 million to $1.081 billion at September 30, 2003 from
$1.095 billion at June 30, 2003. A decrease in short- and medium-term
certificates of deposit of $27.8 million was partially offset by a $13.4 million
increase in core deposit accounts (checking, money market and savings accounts).
At September 30, 2003, Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") of New York advances and
other borrowings totaled $519.9 million, reflecting a decrease of $11.2 million
from the $531.1 million at June 30, 2003. Junior subordinated deferrable
interest debentures increased $12.0 million due to the Company's full adoption
of Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of
Variable Interest Entities" ("FIN 46"). Pursuant to FIN 46, the Company's trust
preferred subsidiaries are no longer consolidated and the $12.4 million junior
subordinated deferrable interest debentures of Trust II are now reflected as
long-term borrowings.
Non-accruing loans (loans whereby the collection of principal or interest
becomes delinquent more than 90 days) at September 30, 2003 totaled $2.2
million, as compared to $1.7 million at June 30, 2003. The ratio of non-accruing
loans to total loans increased to 0.18% at September 30, 2003 from 0.14% at June
30, 2003. Real estate owned at September 30, 2003 remained unchanged from the
$28,000 recorded at June 30, 2003. Total non-performing assets (non-accruing
loans and real estate owned) at September 30, 2003 totaled $2.2 million, as
compared to $1.7 million at June 30, 2003. The ratio of non-performing assets to
total assets increased to 0.12% at September 30, 2003 from 0.09% at June 30,
2003.
Stockholders' equity at September 30, 2003 totaled $119.6 million compared to
$116.8 million at June 30, 2003. The increase primarily reflects the net income
recorded for the three months ended September 30, 2003 and the exercise of stock
options, partially offset by the repurchase of 50,000 shares of the Company's
outstanding stock at an average price of $28.50 per share and the declaration of
cash dividends.

Results of Operations
General. For the three months ended September 30, 2003, net income was $3.4
million, or $0.47 per diluted share, compared to net income of $3.8 million, or
$0.50 per diluted share, for the comparable prior year period.
Interest and Dividend Income. Interest and dividend income for the three months
ended September 30, 2003 decreased to $23.7 million from $29.0 million for the
three months ended September 30, 2002. 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
$1.716 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2003 compared to $1.822
billion for the comparable prior year period. The average yield earned on
interest-earning assets decreased to 5.51% for the three months ended September
30, 2003 from 6.34% for the three months ended September 30, 2002.
Interest income on residential one- to four-family mortgage loans for the three
months ended September 30, 2003 decreased $5.7 million when compared to the
prior year period. The decrease in interest income on residential one- to
four-family mortgage loans was due to a decrease in the average yield earned on
this loan portfolio to 5.39% for the three months ended September 30, 2003 from
6.24% for the comparable prior year period, 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 September 30, 2003 was due to a
decrease in the average balance of residential one- to four-family mortgage
loans outstanding to $927.7 million from $1.167 billion for the prior year
period as the result of accelerated prepayments and loan sales.
For the three months ended September 30, 2003, interest income on commercial and
multi-family real estate loans was relatively unchanged when compared to the
prior year period. The average outstanding balance of commercial and
multi-family real estate loans increased $11.6 million for the three months
ended September 30, 2003, when compared to the prior year period. The effects of
the increase in the average balance of commercial and multi-family real estate
loans was offset by a decrease in the average yield earned on this loan
portfolio. The average yield decreased to 7.48% for the three months ended
September 30, 2003, compared to 7.97% for the three months ended September 30,
2002. 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 $264,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 2003 compared to the prior year period. The decrease in interest
income for this loan portfolio was reflective of the lower market interest
rates. The average yield earned on consumer loans decreased to 5.65% for the
three months ended September 30, 2003 from 6.36% for the prior year period. In
addition, the decrease in interest income on consumer loans was attributable to
a decrease of $3.4 million in the average balance outstanding for the three
months ended September 30, 2003, when compared to the prior year period.
Interest income on investment securities and other interest-earning assets
increased $2.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2003 compared to
the prior year period. The increase in interest income on investment securities
and other interest-earning assets for the three months ended September 30, 2003
was due to a $171.2 million increase in the average balance outstanding, when
compared to the prior year period. As a partial offset to the reduction in loans
and mortgage-backed securities due to increased prepayments, additional
investment securities have been purchased. The interest income on investment
securities and other interest-earning assets for the three months ended
September 30, 2003 was negatively impacted by a decline in the average yield
earned on these securities. The average yield decreased to 5.39% for the three
months ended September 30, 2003, compared to 5.94% for the three months ended
September 30, 2002 as called investment securities were replaced with lower
yielding investments. Interest income on investment securities and other
interest-earning assets is expected to be adversely affected in the second
fiscal quarter by the suspension of dividends paid on FHLB of New York stock.
The dividend paid on this stock for the three months ended September 30, 2003
was $318,000.
Interest income on the mortgage-backed securities portfolio decreased $1.4
million for the three months ended September 30, 2003, when compared to the
prior year period. The average balance outstanding of mortgage-backed securities
decreased $74.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2003 compared
to the three months ended September 30, 2002, primarily due to accelerated
prepayments. In addition, the decrease in interest income on mortgage-backed
securities was partially attributable to a decrease in the average yield earned
on this securities portfolio to 5.05% for the three months ended September 30,
2003 compared to 6.18% for the comparable prior year period.
11
Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $2.4 million for the three months
ended September 30, 2003, when compared to the prior year period. The decrease
in the current year period was attributable to a decrease in the Company's cost
of funds to an average rate of 3.55% for the three months ended September 30,
2003 from 4.01% for the prior year period, as a result of lower market interest
rates. The decrease in interest expense for the three months ended September 30,
2003 was also attributable to a $53.2 million decrease in total average deposits
and borrowings, when compared to the three months ended September 30, 2002.
For the three months ended September 30, 2003, the average rate paid on deposits
decreased to 2.43% from 3.28% for the three months ended September 30, 2002.
Average deposit balances decreased $94.1 million from $1.168 billion for the
three months ended September 30, 2002 to $1.074 billion for the current year
period. Continued low interest rates during the current period resulted in a
decrease in the balance of certificates of deposit while core deposit balances
increased. With a reduction in the Company's funding needs as a result of loan
sales and accelerated loan prepayments, higher costing certificates of deposit
were priced to allow runoff.
The average cost of FHLB of New York advances remained unchanged at 5.66% for
the three months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 while the average balance of
FHLB of New York advances decreased $1.6 million during the current period when
compared to the prior year period. For the three months ended September 30,
2003, the average balance of other borrowings increased $522,000 when compared
to the three months ended September 30, 2002. The average rate paid on other
borrowings decreased to 4.50% for the three months ended September 30, 2003 from
4.66% for the comparable prior year period.
Pursuant to FIN 46, interest expense for the three months ended September 30,
2003 included the costs associated with the junior subordinated deferrable
interest debentures. For the three months ended September 30, 2003, the junior
subordinated deferrable interest debentures had an average balance of $42.0
million and an average cost of 6.42%.
Net Interest and Dividend Income. Net interest and dividend income before
provision for loan losses for the three months ended September 30, 2003 was $8.9
million compared to $11.8 million recorded in the prior year period. Average net
interest-earning assets decreased $52.7 million for the three months ended
September 30, 2003, when compared to the prior year period. The net interest
rate spread and net interest margin for the three months ended September 30,
2003 were 1.96% and 2.11%, respectively, a decrease from 2.33% and 2.62% for the
three months ended September 30, 2002. The net interest margin was reduced
during the current year period when compared to the prior year period
principally due to the effect of accelerated prepayments resulting from lower
market interest rates.
Provision for Loan Losses. There was no provision for loan losses recorded for
the three months ended September 30, 2003, which is consistent with the
continuation of the Company's historically low levels of non-accruing loans and
loan chargeoffs. A loan loss provision of $225,000 was recorded in the
comparable prior year period. The allowance for loan losses at September 30,
2003 of $6.3 million is relatively unchanged from the balance at June 30, 2003.
The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of non-accruing loans was 290.16%
at September 30, 2003, compared to 373.60% at June 30, 2003. Non-accruing loans
were $2.2 million at September 30, 2003 compared to $1.7 million at June 30,
2003. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans at September
30, 2003 was 0.53% compared to 0.51% at June 30, 2003 primarily due to the
decline in the overall loan portfolio. See the discussion in this Form 10-Q
under "Critical Accounting Policy".
Non-Interest Income. For the three months ended September 30, 2003, non-interest
income was $2.0 million compared to $1.6 million for the prior year period. The
increase in non-interest income was primarily due to increases in service
charges, net gain on sales of loans and other non-interest income, when compared
to the prior year period.
Service charge income for the three months ended September 30, 2003 was $1.3
million, reflecting an increase of $180,000 over the $1.1 million recorded for
the prior year period. Service charges increased partially due to fees
associated with various loan prepayments and/or modifications and partially due
to increased service charges related to checking accounts.
During the three months ended September 30, 2003, the net gain on sales of loans
was $334,000 compared to $231,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2002.
Approximately $38.5 million of conforming, fixed rate one- to four-family
residential mortgage loans were sold into the secondary market during the three
months ended September 30, 2003. Additionally, during the current year period,
the Company sold approximately $17.7 million of fixed rate one- to four-family
residential mortgage loans to other financial institutions. Furthermore, the
Company
12
recognized approximately $130,000 of gains on commitments to sell fixed rate
one- to four-family residential mortgage loans to other financial institutions.
During the three months ended September 30, 2002, approximately $12.6 million of
conforming, fixed rate one- to four-family residential mortgage loans were sold
into the secondary market.
Other non-interest income increased $147,000 to $373,000 for the three months
ended September 30, 2003 from $226,000 for the prior year period. Other
non-interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2003 included
$90,000 of income from the investment in bank-owned life insurance. Other
non-interest income for the current year period also included the earnings of
the unconsolidated subsidiaries Trust II and Trust III, pursuant to FIN 46.
Non-Interest Expenses. Non-interest expenses for the three months ended
September 30, 2003 were $5.7 million, or 1.28% of average assets. For the
comparable prior year period, non-interest expenses were $7.1 million, or 1.51%
of average assets, and included $1.1 million of preferred securities expense.
Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense was $1.9 million for the three months
ended September 30, 2003 compared to $2.2 million for the three months ended
September 30, 2002. The effective tax rate for the three months ended September
30, 2003 was 35.7% compared to 36.6% for the three months ended September 30,
2002. The decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily due to the purchase
of BOLI, for which the change in the cash surrender value is not subject to tax.

Critical Accounting Policy
Allowance for Loan Losses - The allowance for loan losses is established through
charges to income based on management's evaluation of the probable credit losses
presently inherent in its loan portfolio. 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 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 income.
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 management's estimate of the borrower's
ability to repay the loan given the availability of collateral, other sources of
15
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.
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 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 September 30, 2003, 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 $9.1 million, representing a one year negative gap
of 0.51% of total assets, compared to a one year positive gap of $193.7 million,
or 10.69%, of total assets at June 30, 2003. The Company's gap position changed
from June 30, 2003 primarily due to the lengthening of asset cash flows as the
yield curve is projected to steepen and prepayment activity on loans and
mortgage-backed securities is expected to slow. Additionally, due to the
anticipated increase in long-term interest rates, certain investment securities
with callable features are no longer assumed to be redeemed within one year.
Furthermore, the short-term estimated cash flows of the Company's
interest-bearing liabilities increased due to medium-term borrowings maturing
within one year and the repricing of higher yielding savings accounts in July
2004. Partially offsetting the effect from these items was a decrease in
certificates of deposit maturing within one year and an increase in core
deposits.
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 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 high sensitivity to changes in interest rates. The
Sensitivity Measure is the change in the NPV ratio, in basis points, caused
16
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 September 30, 2003, the Bank's internally generated initial NPV ratio was
3.00%. Following a 2% increase in interest rates, the Bank's Post-Shock NPV
ratio was 3.94%. The change in the NPV ratio, or the Bank's Sensitivity Measure,
was positive 0.94%. As of September 30, 2003, the Company's internally generated
initial NPV ratio was 2.82%, the Post-Shock ratio was 3.44%, and the Sensitivity
Measure was positive 0.62%. 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, including discount rates, and generally result
in different levels of presumed interest rate risk (generally lower) than Office
of Thrift Supervision ("OTS") measurements indicate.
The OTS measures the Bank's 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
June 30, 2003 (the latest date for which information is available), the Bank's
initial NPV ratio, as measured by the OTS, was 8.88%, the Bank's Post-Shock
ratio was 6.28% and the Sensitivity Measure was negative 2.60%.
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 September 30, 2003, based on its internally generated simulation models, the
Company's consolidated net interest income projected for one year forward would
increase 2.6% 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 three months ended September 30, 2003 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 the three months ended September 30, 2003,
the cash provided was used to fund investing activities, which included the
origination of loans and the purchase of investment and mortgage-backed
securities, as well as to fund a decrease in deposits and the repayment of FHLB
of New York advances and other borrowings. Additionally, during the three months
ended September 30, 2003, the cash provided was used to fund an investment in
BOLI. During the three months ended September 30, 2002, the cash needs of the
Company 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 origination of loans and the
purchase of investment securities, as well as to fund a decrease in deposits.
Additionally, during the three months ended September 30, 2002, the cash
provided was used for the repurchase of common stock.

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 September 30, 2003, the Bank exceeded all
regulatory capital requirements and qualified as a "well-capitalized"
institution (see Note 6. - 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. See the discussion in this Form 10-Q under "Item 2. Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations-Interest Rate Sensitivity."
Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and several other members of the

Financial Officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2003, the Company's
disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that the
information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or
submits under the Act is (i) accumulated and communicated to the Company's
management (including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer)
in a timely manner, and (ii) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within
the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms.
(b) Changes in Internal Controls: During the quarter ended September 30,
