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, 2003 and
2002, and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits
for the year ended June 30, 2003. 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, 2003
and 2002, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year
ended June 30, 2003 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
is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part
of the basic financial statements but is supplementary information required by
the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure
under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This schedule is the
responsibility of Plan management. Such schedule has been subjected to the
auditing procedures applied in our audit of the basic 2003 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
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


I.   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. The
     plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income
     Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA").

     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").

     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 allocate
               their contributions to eight different investment funds and to
               the common stock of PennFed Financial Services, Inc. In 2003 in
               no event can the total amount deferred exceed $12,000 (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.

          (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.

     Participant Loans -- 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. Principal and interest is paid ratably
     through payroll deductions.

     Participant Accounts--Individual accounts are maintained for each Plan
     participant. Each participant's account is credited with the participant
     contribution, the Bank's matching contributions, and allocations of
     participant forfeitures. Allocations are based on participant earnings or
     account balances, as defined. The benefit to which participant is entitled
     is the benefit that can be provided from participant's vested account.

     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.




                                      -4-



     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.

II.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     Basis of Presentation--The financial statements of the Plan are prepared in
     accordance with accounting principals generally accepted in the United
     States of America.

     Use of estimates-- The preparation of financial statements in conformity
     with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
     estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of net assets
     available for benefits and changes therein. Actual results could differ
     from those estimates. The Plan utilizes various investment instruments
     including mutual funds. Investment securities, in general, are exposed to
     various risks such as interest rate, credit, and overall market volatility.
     Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it
     is reasonably possible that changes in values of the investment securities
     will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect
     the amounts reported in the financial statements.

     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 Asset Trust Fund were managed by Merrill Lynch. Investments in mutual
     funds consisting of the MFS Emerging Growth Fund and held by Father Trust
     Company 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 valued and
     recorded at market value as determined by quoted market prices, which
     represent the net asset value of the shares held by the Plan at the end of
     the year. The Plan is valued at least quarterly and participants' accounts
     are credited with a proportional share of investment income. Additionally,
     investments are priced daily.

     Purchases and sales of securities are recorded as of the settlement date.
     There were no material unsettled trades at June 30, 2003 or 2002. Interest
     income is recorded on the accrual basis. Participant loans receivable are
     valued at cost which approximates fair value.

     Benefits Payable--Net assets available for benefits included benefits of
     $697,027 and $709,523 due to participants who have withdrawn from
     participation in the Plan, but were not yet paid as of June 30, 2003 and
     2002, respectively.

     Administrative Expenses--The Bank has elected to pay administrative
     expenses on behalf of the Plan.

     Forfeitures-- At June 30, 2003 and 2002, forfeited nonvested accounts
     totaled $5,579 and $4,303, respectively. These accounts were used to reduce
     employer contributions. During the year ended June 30, 2003, employer
     contributions were reduced by $5,579, from forfeited nonvested accounts.

III. INVESTMENTS

     The Plan's investments are held in a trust fund. The following table
     presents investments. All of the investments represent 5% or more of the
     Plan's net assets.

IV.  PLAN TERMINATION

     Although it has not expressed any intention to do so, the Bank has the
     right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to
     terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. If the Plan is
     terminated, all participants automatically become 100% vested in their
     accounts.

V.   INVESTMENT INCOME

     The Plan is valued at least quarterly and participants' accounts are
     credited with a proportional share of investment income. Additionally,
     investments are priced daily.

VI.  TAX STATUS

     The sponsor adopted a non-standardized prototype plan which received an
     Internal Revenue Service opinion letter dated November 27, 2001 and the
     Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed the Company by letter
     dated December 7, 1995 that the Plan, as adopted, and related trust are
     designed in accordance with applicable sections of the Internal Revenue
     Code ("IRC"). The Plan has since been amended, however, the Plan
     Administrator believes that the Plan is currently being operated in
     compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC.
