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 (including 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 nine months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003. 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 its wholly owned trust subsidiary, 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 was 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. In December 2003, FIN 46 was revised ("FIN 46R") to clarify some of the provisions in the original FIN 46 and to exempt certain entities from its requirements. The revisions to FIN 46 contained in FIN 46R do 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. 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. On November 25, 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ratified the Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 03-1, "The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments" ("EITF 03-1"). EITF 03-1 requires certain quantitative and qualitative disclosures for securities that are impaired at the balance sheet date but for which an other-than-temporary impairment has not been recognized. EITF 03-1 did not have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows and no additional disclosure was required. 7 Effective January 1, 2004, the Company adopted a revision of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 132, "Employers' Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits" ("SFAS 132R"). SFAS 132R requires additional disclosures to those in the original Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 132 about the types of plan assets, investment strategy, measurement date(s), plan obligations, cash flows and components of net periodic benefit cost of defined benefit pension plans and other defined benefit postretirement plans. The adoption of SFAS 132R did not have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. 4. Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan and Director's Retirement Plan The Company currently provides for a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan and a Director's Retirement Plan for certain key executive employees and directors. Benefits provided are based primarily on years of service and compensation or fees. Based on the terms of the two plans, there was a $117,000 benefit obligation as of June 30, 2003. Service cost for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2004 was $66,000 and $197,000, respectively. Both plans are unfunded and at March 31, 2004 the benefit obligation of $314,000 is included in accounts payable and other liabilities in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. The assumptions used in calculating the benefit obligation included a 4% compensation increase rate and a discount rate of 7%. The accounting for these postretirement benefits is in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87 "Employer's Accounting for Pensions". 5. Junior Subordinated Deferrable Interest Debentures In 2001, PennFed formed 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. In 2003, PennFed formed a wholly-owned trust subsidiary, PennFed Capital Trust III ("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. 8 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 increased $4.0 million to $1.816 billion at March 31, 2004 from total assets of $1.812 billion at June 30, 2003. When compared to June 30, 2003, the increase at March 31, 2004 was primarily due to an $80.8 million increase in investment securities held to maturity and a $5.9 million increase in mortgage-backed securities partially offset by a $64.1 million decrease in cash and cash equivalents and a $31.2 million decrease in net loans receivable. The increase at March 31, 2004 was also partially due to a $12.4 million investment in bank owned life insurance ("BOLI"). As a means to replace investment securities called before maturity and to invest available cash at higher yields, investment securities held to maturity were purchased during the period. The effects of accelerated prepayments on loans held to maturity and sales of mostly conforming, fixed rate, one- to four-family residential mortgage loans held for sale into the secondary market more than offset loan originations. During the six month period ended March 31, 2004, one- to four-family residential loan production decreased, when compared to the production level achieved during the first three months of the period, as applications for refinances slowed due to a rise in interest rates. Due to this significant slowdown in mortgage loan applications and as a means to alternatively invest available cash at higher yields, in late December 2003 the Company discontinued its loan sale strategy and began to retain originated one- to four-family residential loans for its portfolio. Deposits increased $34.9 million to $1.130 billion at March 31, 2004 from $1.095 billion at June 30, 2003. An increase in core deposit accounts (checking, money market and savings accounts) of $42.7 million was partially offset by a $7.8 million decrease in short- and medium-term certificates of deposit. At March 31, 2004, Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") of New York advances and other borrowings totaled $512.5 million, reflecting a decrease of $18.6 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. In accordance with the adoption of FIN 46, financial information prior to the adoption date has not been restated. 11 Non-accruing loans (loans whereby the collection of principal or interest becomes delinquent for more than 90 days) at March 31, 2004 totaled $2.9 million, as compared to $1.7 million at June 30, 2003. The increase in the amount of non-accruing loans is in the one- to four-family loan category, and primarily reflects the addition of two loans. The ratio of non-accruing loans to total loans increased to 0.24% at March 31, 2004 from 0.14% at June 30, 2003. Real estate owned at March 31, 2004 remained unchanged from the $28,000 recorded at June 30, 2003. Total non-performing assets (non-accruing loans and real estate owned) at March 31, 2004 totaled $2.9 million, as compared to $1.7 million at June 30, 2003. The ratio of non-performing assets to total assets increased to 0.16% at March 31, 2004 from 0.09% at June 30, 2003. Stockholders' equity at March 31, 2004 totaled $117.6 million compared to $116.8 million at June 30, 2003. The increase primarily reflects the net income recorded for the nine months ended March 31, 2004 and the exercise of stock options, partially offset by the repurchase of 188,500 shares of the Company's outstanding stock at an average price of $34.37 per share and the declaration of cash dividends. Results of Operations General. For the three months ended March 31, 2004, net income was $3.0 million, or $0.41 per diluted share, compared to net income of $3.6 million, or $0.48 per diluted share, for the comparable prior year period. For the nine months ended March 31, 2004, net income was $9.2 million, or $1.28 per diluted share. These results compare to net income of $11.2 million, or $1.49 per diluted share, for the nine months ended March 31, 2003. Interest and Dividend Income. Interest and dividend income for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2004 decreased to $24.3 million and $71.7 million, respectively, from $25.6 million and $81.9 million for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2003. 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 cumulative result of prepayments of higher yielding loans and origination of loans at lower market interest rates. Average interest-earning assets were $1.741 billion and $1.724 billion for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2004, respectively, compared to $1.755 billion and $1.789 billion for the comparable prior year periods. The average yield earned on interest-earning assets decreased to 5.59% for the three months ended March 31, 2004 from 5.85% for the three months ended March 31, 2003. For the nine months ended March 31, 2004, the average yield earned on interest-earning assets decreased to 5.53% from 6.10% for the comparable prior year period. Interest income on residential one- to four-family mortgage loans for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2004 decreased $3.0 million and $13.1 million, respectively, when compared to the prior year periods. The decreases in interest income on residential one- to four-family mortgage loans were due to decreases in the average yield earned on this loan portfolio to 5.47% and 5.46% from 5.73% and 5.97% for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2004, respectively, when compared to the prior year periods, reflecting the payoff or refinance of higher yielding loans and the origination of lower yielding loans. In addition, the decreases in interest income on residential one- to four-family mortgage loans were due to decreases in the average balance of residential one- to four-family mortgage loans outstanding of $169.1 million and $214.1 million for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2004, respectively, when compared to the prior year periods, as the result of accelerated prepayments and loan sales. Interest income on commercial and multi-family real estate loans decreased $23,000 and $204,000 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2004, respectively, when compared to the prior year periods. The decreases in interest income on commercial and multi-family real estate loans were attributable to decreases in the average yield earned on these loans. The average yield on commercial and multi-family real estate loans decreased to 7.40% and 7.39% for the current three and nine month periods, respectively, compared to 7.74% and 7.84% for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2003. 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. The decreases in yield for this portfolio were partially offset by increases in the average outstanding balance of commercial and multi-family real estate loans of $4.7 million and $5.5 million for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2004, respectively, when compared to the prior year periods. Interest income on consumer loans decreased $138,000 and $627,000 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2004, respectively, when compared to the prior year periods. The decreases in interest income for this loan portfolio were reflective of the lower market interest rates. The average yield earned on consumer loans decreased to 5.45% and 5.54% for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2004, respectively, from 6.17% and 6.25% for the comparable prior year periods. The decrease in yield on consumer loans for the three months ended March 31, 2004 12 was partially offset by a $3.3 million increase in the average balance outstanding of this loan portfolio, when compared to the prior year period. For the nine months ended March 31, 2004, the decrease in interest income on consumer loans was partially attributable to a decrease of $599,000 in the average balance outstanding, when compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2003. Interest income on investment securities and other interest-earning assets increased $2.2 million and $6.1 million for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2004, respectively, compared to the prior year periods. The increases in interest income on these securities were attributable to $185.6 million and $176.9 million increases in the average balance outstanding for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2004, respectively, when compared to the prior year periods. As a partial offset to the reduction in loans and mortgage-backed securities due to increased prepayments, additional investment securities were purchased. The interest income on investment securities and other interest-earning assets for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2004 was negatively impacted by declines in the average yield earned on these securities. The average yield decreased to 5.36% and 5.32% for the current three and nine month periods, respectively, compared to 5.74% and 5.86% for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2003 as called investment securities were replaced with lower yielding investments. Interest income on the mortgage-backed securities portfolio decreased $279,000 and $2.4 million for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2004, respectively, compared to the prior year periods. The decreases in interest income on mortgage-backed securities for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2004 were due to decreases in the average yield earned on this portfolio to 5.32% and 5.15%, respectively, from 5.54% and 5.83% for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2003. In addition, the decreases in interest income on mortgage-backed securities were due to decreases in the average balance outstanding of $16.2 million and $44.4 million for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2004, respectively, when compared to the prior year periods, primarily due to accelerated prepayments. Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $189,000 and $4.4 million for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2004, 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 to average rates of 3.48% and 3.51% for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2004, respectively, from 3.64% and 3.84% for the prior year periods, as a result of lower market interest rates. The decrease in the cost of funds for the three months ended March 31, 2004 was partially offset by an increase in total average deposits and borrowings of $33.1 million, when compared to the three months ended March 31, 2003. For the nine months ended March 31, 2004, the decrease in interest expense was also attributable to a decrease in total average deposits and borrowings of $17.1 million, when compared to the prior year period. The average rate paid on deposits decreased to 2.41% for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2004 from 2.70% and 3.02% for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2003, respectively. Average deposit balances increased $5.0 million and decreased $47.8 million to $1.114 billion and $1.095 billion for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2004, respectively, from $1.109 billion and $1.143 billion for the comparable prior year periods. The lower level of interest rates during the current year periods when compared to the prior year periods resulted in decreases 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, maturing, higher costing certificates of deposit were priced to allow runoff. The average cost of FHLB of New York advances increased slightly to 5.68% and 5.67% for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2004, respectively, from 5.66% for both of the prior year periods. Due to maturing FHLB of New York advances, the average balance of advances decreased $19.0 million and $13.0 million for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2004, respectively, when compared to the prior year periods. For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2004, the average balance of other borrowings increased $5.1 million and $1.8 million, respectively, when compared to the three and nine months ended March 31, 2003. The average rate paid on other borrowings decreased to 3.91% and 4.29% for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2004, respectively, compared to 4.58% and 4.61% for the prior year periods. Pursuant to FIN 46, interest expense for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2004 included the costs associated with the junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures. For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2004, the junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures had an average balance of $42.0 million and an average cost of 6.35% and 6.37%, respectively. Net Interest and Dividend Income. Net interest and dividend income before provision for loan losses for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2004 was $9.7 million and $27.7 million, respectively, compared to $10.8 million and 13 $33.5 million recorded in the prior year periods. Average net interest-earning assets decreased $46.8 million and $48.1 million for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2004, respectively, when compared to the prior year periods. The net interest rate spread and net interest margin for the three months ended March 31, 2004 were 2.11% and 2.24%, respectively, a decrease from 2.21% and 2.45% for the comparable prior year period. For the nine months ended March 31, 2004, the net interest rate spread and net interest margin were 2.02% and 2.16%, respectively, a decrease from 2.26% and 2.51% for the nine months ended March 31, 2003. The net interest margin was reduced during the current year periods when compared to the prior year periods 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 and nine months ended March 31, 2004, which is consistent with the continuation of the Company's historically low levels of non-accruing loans and loan chargeoffs. Management believes the current allowance for loan losses is adequate to absorb probable losses on existing loans that may become uncollectible. Loan loss provisions of $100,000 and $525,000 were recorded for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2003, respectively. The allowance for loan losses at March 31, 2004 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 215.59% at March 31, 2004, compared to 373.60% at June 30, 2003. Non-accruing loans were $2.9 million at March 31, 2004 compared to $1.7 million at June 30, 2003. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans at March 31, 2004 was 0.52% compared to 0.51% at June 30, 2003 primarily due to the amount of the overall loan portfolio. See the discussion in this Form 10-Q under "Critical Accounting Policy." Non-Interest Income. For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2004, non-interest income was $1.4 million and $4.9 million, respectively, compared to $2.0 million and $5.7 million for the prior year periods. The decreases in non-interest income for the current periods were primarily due to decreases in service charges and net gain on sales of loans partially offset by increases in other non-interest income, when compared to the three and nine months ended March 31, 2003. Service charge income for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2004 was $957,000 and $3.1 million, respectively, compared to $1.3 million and $3.6 million recorded for the prior year periods. Due to increased interest rates during the past six month period when compared to the same period during the prior fiscal year, loan prepayments and modifications decreased significantly, resulting in a decline in service charge income for the current year periods. During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2004, the net gain on sales of loans was $57,000 and $754,000, respectively, compared to $498,000 and $1.3 million for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2003. Approximately $1.8 million and $48.4 million of conforming, fixed rate one- to four-family residential mortgage loans were sold into the secondary market during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2004, respectively. In addition, during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2004, the Company sold approximately $4.6 million and $38.6 million of primarily fixed rate one- to four-family residential mortgage loans to other financial institutions, respectively. For the comparable prior year periods, there were no such sales to other financial institutions; however, during the three months ended March 31, 2003, the Company recognized a $200,000 gain on a commitment to sell approximately $6.2 million of one- to four-family residential mortgage loans to a financial institution. Approximately $49.4 million and $107.9 million of conforming, fixed rate one- to four-family residential mortgage loans were sold into the secondary market during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2003, respectively. Furthermore, during the three months ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, a $3.0 million and a $4.0 million commercial real estate loan participation was sold, respectively, as a means to reduce the Company's credit exposure on a large commercial real estate loan relationship, realizing a net gain each period of approximately $183,000. During the last six month period ended March 31, 2004, one- to four-family residential loan production slowed significantly as applications for refinances slowed due to a rise in interest rates. Due to this significant slowdown in mortgage loan applications and as a means to alternatively invest available cash at higher yields, in late December 2003, the Company discontinued its loan sale strategy and began to retain originated one- to four-family residential loans for portfolio. Other non-interest income increased $140,000 and $350,000 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2004 to $360,000 and $1.1 million, respectively, compared to $220,000 and $712,000 for the prior year periods. The increases in other non-interest income for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2004 were primarily due to $134,000 and $359,000 of income from the investment in BOLI. Other non-interest income for the current year periods 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 and nine months ended March 31, 2004 were $6.6 million and $18.6 million, respectively, compared to $7.0 million and $21.0 million for the prior year periods, which included 14 $1.1 million and $3.3 million of preferred securities expense, respectively. With the adoption of FIN 46, the cost of the trust preferred securities is included in interest expense. Excluding the effect of preferred securities expense for the prior year periods, the increases in non-interest expenses for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2004 were partially attributable to increases in compensation expense related to the Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP"). For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2004, the Company recorded compensation expense related to the ESOP of $1.1 million and $3.0 million, respectively, compared to $784,000 and $2.3 million for the prior year periods, reflecting the appreciation in the Company's stock price over the periods. The majority of the ESOP expense represented a non-cash valuation adjustment to reflect the value of the Company's stock. The Company will cease recognizing compensation expense related to the ESOP after June 30, 2004, when the ESOP shares will be fully allocated. The Company's non-interest expenses as a percent of average assets decreased to 1.47% and 1.39% for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2004, respectively, from 1.55% and 1.51% for the comparable prior year periods. Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2004 was $1.5 million and $4.8 million, respectively, compared to $2.1 million and $6.5 million for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2003. The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2004 was 33.6% and 34.4%, respectively, compared to 37.1% and 36.6% for the prior year periods. The decreases in the effective tax rate were primarily due to the purchase of BOLI, for which the change in the cash surrender value is not subject to tax. 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 nine months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003 and reflect the average yield on assets and average cost of liabilities for the periods indicated. Such yields and costs are derived from average daily balances. The average balance of loans receivable includes non-accruing loans. The yields and costs include fees which are considered adjustments to yields.

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 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 19 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 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 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 March 31, 2004, 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 $110.3 million, representing a one year negative gap of 6.07% 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 has steepened and prepayment activity on loans and mortgage-backed securities has slowed. Additionally, due to the 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 an increase in certificates of deposit maturing within one year, an increase in 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 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 may indicate greater exposure to IRR. Greater exposure can result from a 20 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. Assumptions used in calculating interest rate sensitivity are periodically reviewed and modified as appropriate. As of March 31, 2004, the Bank's internally generated initial NPV ratio was 8.89%. Following a 2% increase in interest rates, the Bank's Post-Shock NPV ratio was 7.56%. The change in the NPV ratio, or the Bank's Sensitivity Measure, was negative 1.33%. As of March 31, 2004, the Company's internally generated initial NPV ratio was 8.52%, the Post-Shock ratio was 7.13%, and the Sensitivity Measure was negative 1.39%. 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 and decay rates, and generally result in lower levels of presumed interest rate risk 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 December 31, 2003 (the latest date for which information is available), the Bank's initial NPV ratio, as measured by the OTS, was 9.35%, the Bank's Post-Shock ratio was 5.71% and the Sensitivity Measure was negative 3.64%. 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 March 31, 2004, based on its internally generated simulation models, the Company's consolidated net interest income projected for one year forward would decrease 4.0% 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 nine months ended March 31, 2004 were provided by operating activities, including the sale of loans, proceeds from maturities of investment securities, principal repayments of loans and mortgage-backed securities and an increase in deposits. During the nine months ended March 31, 2004, the cash provided was used to fund investing activities, which included the origination and purchase of loans and the purchase of investment and mortgage-backed securities, as well as for the repayment of FHLB of New York advances and other borrowings. Additionally, during the nine months ended March 31, 2004, the cash provided was used to fund an investment in BOLI and for the repurchase of common stock. During the nine months ended March 31, 2003, 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 21 well as to fund a decrease in deposits. Additionally, during the nine months ended March 31, 2003, 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 March 31, 2004, 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. 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 Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures: An evaluation of the ------------------------------------------------- Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act")) as of March 31, 2004 was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and several other members of the Company's senior management. The Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as currently in effect are effective in ensuring that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange 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. There have been no changes in internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2004, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting. The Company intends to continually review and evaluate the design and effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures and to improve its controls and procedures over time and to correct any deficiencies that it may discover in the future. The goal is to ensure that senior management has timely access to all material financial and non-financial information concerning the Company's business. While the company believes the present design of its disclosure controls and procedures is effective to achieve its goal, future events affecting its business may cause the Company to modify its disclosure controls and procedures. 22 PART II - Other Information Item 1.
