AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) 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, 2005. 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, 2005 and 2004. The interim results of operations presented are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. 2. Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan and Directors' Retirement Plan The Company currently provides for a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan ("SERP") and a Directors' Retirement Plan ("DP") for certain key executive employees and directors. Benefits provided are based primarily on years of service and compensation or fees. Both plans are unfunded and at September 30, 2005, the benefit obligation of $1,038,000 was included in Accounts payable and other liabilities in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. At September 30, 2005, the assumptions used in calculating the benefit obligation included a 4% compensation increase rate and a discount rate of 5%. At September 30, 2004, 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, "Employers' Accounting for Pensions." The Company has not made, and does not expect to make, any contributions to these plans during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2006.

Savings and loan holding companies, such as PennFed, are not subject to capital requirements for capital adequacy purposes or for prompt corrective action requirements. Bank holding companies, however, are subject to capital requirements established by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. 5. Restatement of Prior Year's Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows The Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the three months ended September 30, 2004 has been restated to correct the classification of sales of loans initially originated by the Company for retention in its portfolio (as opposed to loans originated for the purpose of resale). The proceeds of such sales previously were accounted for in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows as operating activities and should have been reported as investing activities in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 102, "Statement of Cash Flows, Exemption of Certain Enterprises and Classification of Cash Flows from Certain Securities Acquired for Resale." 10 The following table sets forth the data as previously reported in the Company's 10-Q for the three months ended September 30, 2004 and the data as restated: For the three months ended September 30, 2004 ---------------------------- As Previously Reported As Restated ---------------------------- (In thousands) Cash Flows from Operating Activities: Proceeds from sales of loans originated for sale .................... $ 4,486 $ 2,631 Originations of loans held for sale ................................. -- (2,612) Net cash provided by operating activities ........................... 7,260 2,793 Cash Flows from Investing Activities: Net outflow from loan originations net of principal repayments of loans ............................................................

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Critical Accounting Policies The consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. While the Company bases estimates on historical experience, current information and other factors deemed to be relevant, actual results could differ from those estimates. Management believes the following policies are both important to the reported financial condition and results of operations and require subjective judgments and are, therefore, considered critical accounting policies. 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 the Company's 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. 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 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 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 actual 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 cash flow and legal options available to the Company. For loans not subject to specific reserve allocations, loss rates by loan category are applied. A 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 or 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 allowance, unforeseen market conditions could result in adjustments and 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. Accounting for Income Taxes - In the accounting for income taxes, the Company records amounts that represent taxes payable for the current year as well as deferred tax assets and liabilities arising from transactions that have differing effects for financial statements and tax returns. Judgment is required in assessing the future tax effects of transactions that have been recognized in the Company's consolidated financial statements or tax returns. Fluctuations in the actual tax effects in future years could have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial condition or results of operations. 12 Forward-Looking Statements 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 laws and regulations and in policies of regulatory agencies, fluctuations in interest rates and demand for loans in the Company's market area, the credit risks of lending activities, including changes in the level and direction of loan delinquencies and write-offs and changes in estimates of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, the Company's ability to attract and retain depositors and to obtain cost-effective funding, the relationship of short-term interest rates to long-term interest rates and the Company's ability to manage its interest rate risk, 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. Overview The Company has been, and intends to continue to be, a community-oriented financial institution offering a variety of financial services to meet the needs of the communities it serves. The Company has 25 full service branch offices located in New Jersey. The Company attracts deposits from the general public and uses these deposits, together with borrowings and other funds, to originate and purchase one- to four-family residential mortgage loans, and, to a lesser extent, to originate commercial and multi-family real estate and consumer loans. The Company also invests in mortgage-backed securities secured by one- to four-family residential mortgages and U.S. government agency obligations. Through a relationship with an unaffiliated third party, the Company offers insurance and uninsured non-deposit investment products to the Company's customers and members of the general public. A wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company participates in the ownership of a title insurance agency. The Company's loan portfolio growth is dependent primarily on its ability to provide the products and services that meet the needs of the customers in its market area. The Company offers fixed rate, adjustable rate and balloon mortgage loans for residential and commercial purposes, as well as home equity, consumer loans and non-mortgage business loans, with a variety of terms. Residential first mortgage loans are the largest part of the portfolio, representing approximately 78.8% at September 30, 2005. The level of interest rates also has a significant impact on the ability of the Company to originate loans and on the amount of prepayment activity experienced by the Company. Since June 30, 2005, the Company's net loans receivable and loans held for sale increased $57.7 million. This increase was primarily attributable to strong loan origination levels and to the absence of accelerated prepayments. During the three months ended September 30, 2005, the Company sold $20.8 million of fixed rate loans as a means to assist in the management of interest rate risk. The retention and the recruitment of profitable deposit customers are vital to PennFed's ability to generate liquid funds and to support the growth of non-interest income. The number of deposit accounts at September 30, 2005 was relatively the same as the number of accounts at June 30, 2005, however, the average deposit balance per account, excluding wholesale certificates of deposit, has increased 1.8% since June 30, 2005. The Company offers a number of different deposit products and uses this product mix along with a strong focus on customer service to attract customers and to build depositor relationships. The level of interest rates also significantly affects the level of the Company's deposits. Since June 30, 2005, deposits increased $24.5 million, primarily due to a $33.0 million increase in retail certificates of deposit partially offset by an $8.4 million decrease in core deposits (checking, money market and savings accounts). Checking and money market account balances increased $16.4 million since June 30, 2005, while savings accounts decreased $24.9 million. The decrease in savings accounts since June 30, 2005 was attributable to a rise in short term interest rates, which has shifted savings account funds to certificates of deposit, as these deposits are more sensitive to shifts in rates. 13 The Company's future loan and deposit growth is, to a large extent, directly tied to the level of interest rates. If long-term interest rates rise, origination levels may be reduced from the prior periods. Growth in the loan pipeline will depend on the Company's ability to aggressively seek out customers in spite of the higher cost of borrowing for the customer. Loan growth driven by borrower demand will also depend on the strength of the economy in the Company's market area. With rising interest rates and/or deteriorating economic conditions, loan origination volumes would likely be lower than recent periods and a reduction in the prepayment of loans currently in portfolio would be expected. The Company has continued its loan sale strategy with respect to new residential loan product in order to assist in the management of interest rate risk associated with keeping longer-term loans on the balance sheet. With respect to deposits, while an increase in interest rates would increase the Company's cost of funds, it would also provide the Company with an additional opportunity for attracting depositors, some of whom may have sought higher returns with mutual funds and other non-deposit investment products when market rates were lower. The Company remains confident that by offering competitively priced products and by striving for superior service, it will be able to maintain profitable levels of loans and deposits. The Company's results of operations are dependent primarily on net interest income, which is the difference between the income earned on its loan, mortgage-backed 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. Growth in the loan portfolio at a lower average yield and the higher cost of funds on deposits and other borrowings contributed to a compression in the net interest margin for the three months ended September 30, 2005, when compared to the prior year period. However, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2004, the lower level of loan prepayments and greater amount of loan originations during the three months ended September 30, 2005 positively impacted the Company's interest income and contributed to growth in the average balance of loans outstanding. Interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2005 increased $1.9 million, compared to the prior year period. The Company's interest income is primarily driven by interest earned on residential first mortgage loans, which increased $1.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005, when compared to the same period in the prior year. Higher cost of funds on deposits and other borrowings, due to the short term interest rate environment, combined with an increase in the average balance of deposits and other borrowings, were the primary factors responsible for an increase of $2.8 million in interest expense on deposits and borrowings for the current year period, when compared to the three months ended September 30, 2004. Overall, net interest income decreased $879,000 and the net interest margin decreased from 2.38% to $2.05% during the three months ended September 30, 2005 compared to the prior year period. Non-interest income during the current year period increased $2.9 million, when compared to the level in the prior year period. During the three months ended September 30, 2005, increases in fees and service charges, net gain on sales of loans and income on BOLI were partially offset by a decrease in other non-interest income, when compared to the prior year period. Fees and service charges, primarily loan fees, accounted for the largest variance between the current and prior year periods. This variance was primarily due to a $2.7 million prepayment premium on a large-balance commercial real estate loan that was received during the three months ended September 30, 2005. A number of factors were primarily responsible for the $1.6 million increase in non-interest expenses during the three months ended September 30, 2005, compared to the prior year period. The largest period-to-period variance was due to a $1.4 million prepayment penalty on certain Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") of New York advances prepaid during the current year period. $35.0 million of FHLB of New York advances with a weighted average interest rate of 5.95% and a weighted average remaining term of 28 months were replaced with $35.0 million of new FHLB of New York advances with a weighted average interest rate of 4.20% and a weighted average remaining term of 43 months. In addition, current period expenses not occurring during the three months ended September 30, 2004 included acceleration of depreciation on branch automation system software no longer utilized, an increase in the Company's obligation under certain long-term benefit plans and increased costs associated with Sarbanes-Oxley compliance. The Company's future earnings are inherently tied to the level of interest rates prevailing in the economic environment in which the Company operates. If interest rates increase, the Company's interest expense on deposits and wholesale borrowings will increase at a faster pace than the effects that will be seen in the Company's interest income on loans. This effect on interest expense is due to the short-term repricing characteristics of a portion of the Company's deposit and borrowing portfolios. As for interest income, loan commitments, generally locked in at issuance, will result in loans closed at below-market rates if rates continue to rise. As interest rates rise, a decline in loan prepayments will reduce 14 cashflows available for reinvestment at higher rates. By emphasizing the origination of adjustable rate and biweekly loan products and continuing the sale of long-term fixed rate residential loans, while also focusing on increasing the balance of core deposits and longer term certificates of deposit and borrowings, the Company will endeavor to better position itself to mitigate the effects of rising interest rates. Financial Condition Assets. Total assets increased $73.1 million to $2.124 billion at September 30, 2005 from total assets of $2.051 billion at June 30, 2005. This increase was primarily due to a $61.5 million increase in net loans receivable, reflecting strong loan origination levels and the absence of accelerated loan prepayment activity, and a $14.9 million increase in investment securities held to maturity. Liabilities. Deposits increased $24.5 million to $1.364 billion at September 30, 2005 from $1.339 billion at June 30, 2005. This increase was primarily due to a $33.0 million increase in retail certificates of deposit partially offset by an $8.4 million decrease in core deposits (checking, savings, and money market accounts). At September 30, 2005, checking and money market accounts increased $16.4 million offset by a decrease in savings accounts of $24.9 million, when compared to June 30, 2005. At September 30, 2005, FHLB of New York advances and other borrowings totaled $573.6 million, reflecting a $50.2 million increase from the $523.4 million at June 30, 2005. Stockholders' Equity. Stockholders' equity at September 30, 2005 totaled $125.9 million compared to $124.1 million at June 30, 2005. The increase primarily reflects the net income recorded for the three months ended September 30, 2005, partially offset by the repurchase of 70,600 shares of the Company's outstanding stock at an average price of $19.26 per share and the declaration of a cash dividend. Results of Operations General. For the three months ended September 30, 2005, net income was $4.1 million, or $0.30 per diluted share, compared to net income of $3.8 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, for the comparable prior year period. Interest and Dividend Income. Interest and dividend income for the three months ended September 30, 2005 increased to $27.7 million from $25.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2004. In general, the increase in interest and dividend income reflects a higher level of interest-earning assets due to strong loan originations and the slowdown in prepayments in the Company's loan and mortgage-backed securities portfolios during the current year period compared to the prior year period. Average interest-earning assets were $2.017 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2005, compared to $1.881 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2004. The average yield earned on interest-earning assets for the three months ended September 30, 2005 of 5.47% remained the same as the prior year period. Interest income on residential one- to four-family mortgage loans for the three months ended September 30, 2005 increased $1.5 million when compared to the prior year period. The increase in interest income on residential one- to four-family mortgage loans was due to an increase in the average balance of residential one- to four-family mortgage loans outstanding of $130.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005, when compared to the prior year period, as the result of strong origination levels and a slowdown in prepayments. Somewhat offsetting the increase in the average balance of residential one- to four-family mortgage loans was a decrease in the average yield earned on this loan portfolio to 5.24% for the three months ended September 30, 2005 from 5.32% for the comparable prior year period, reflecting the payoff or refinance of higher yielding loans and the origination of lower yielding loans over the last twelve months. Interest income on commercial and multi-family real estate loans decreased $87,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2005, when compared to the prior year period. The decrease in interest income on commercial and multi-family real estate loans was attributable to a decrease in the average outstanding balance on these loans. The average outstanding balance of commercial and multi-family real estate loans decreased $4.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005, when compared to the prior year period. In addition, the average yield earned on commercial and multi-family real estate loans decreased to 6.82% for the three months ended September 30, 2005, when compared to 6.88% for the three months ended September 30, 2004. As with other loans, the payoff of higher yielding loans and the origination of loans at lower market interest rates resulted in a decline in the yield on the commercial and multi-family real estate loan portfolio. Interest income on consumer loans increased $556,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2005, when 15 compared to the prior year period. The increase in interest income on consumer loans for the three months ended September 30, 2005 was partially due to an increase in the average yield earned on this portfolio. The average yield earned on consumer loans increased to 5.61% for the three months ended September 30, 2005 from 5.21% for the three months ended September 30, 2004. The increase in interest income on consumer loans is also due to an increase in the average balance outstanding on these loans. For the three months ended September 30, 2005, the average balance outstanding on consumer loans increased $30.7 million over the comparable prior year period. Interest income on investment securities and other interest-earning assets increased $164,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2005, when 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, 2005 was due to an increase in the average yield to 5.56% as compared to 5.42% for the three months ended September 30, 2004. The average outstanding balance of investment securities and other interest-earning assets remained relatively unchanged from the three months ended September 30, 2004 when compared to the three months ended September 30, 2005. Interest income on the mortgage-backed securities portfolio decreased $265,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2005, when compared to the prior year period. The decrease in interest income on mortgage-backed securities for the three months ended September 30, 2005 was primarily due to a decrease in the average balance outstanding of $20.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005, when compared to the three months ended September 30, 2004. The average yield earned on mortgage-backed securities decreased slightly to 5.07% for the three months ended September 30, 2005 from 5.09% for the three months ended September 30, 2004. Interest Expense. Interest expense increased $2.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005, when compared to the prior year period. For the three months ended September 30, 2005, the Company's cost of funds increased, as well as the balance of total average deposits and borrowings, when compared to the prior year period. The average rate on deposits and borrowings was 3.55% for the three months ended September 30, 2005, an increase from 3.22% for the prior year period, as a result of a rise in short-term market interest rates. Total average deposits and borrowings increased $136.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005, when compared to the three months ended September 30, 2004. For the three months ended September 30, 2005, the average rate paid on deposits increased to 2.74% from 2.30% for the three months ended September 30, 2004. Average deposit balances increased $134.9 million to $1.342 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2005 from $1.207 billion for the comparable prior year period. The growth in deposits is partially reflective of the interest rate environment, the addition of the three new branches opened since January 2004 and the increase in wholesale certificates of deposit. In addition, deposit growth reflects the offering of attractive and competitive deposit products, which are promoted through various marketing strategies. The average cost of FHLB of New York advances for the three months ended September 30, 2005 increased slightly to 5.74% from 5.71% for the three months ended September 30, 2004 due to the maturity of lower costing advances. The average balance of FHLB of New York advances decreased $15.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005, when compared to the prior year period. As a funding source to replace maturing FHLB of New York advances and because of the slowdown in prepayments on loans, the average balance of other borrowings increased $17.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005, when compared to the three months ended September 30, 2004. The average rate paid on other borrowings increased to 3.50% for the three months ended September 30, 2005, from 2.22% for the comparable prior year period, as a result of higher market interest rates. Interest expense on junior subordinated debentures increased $151,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2005, when compared to the prior year period. The increase in interest expense was due to an increase in the average cost of these borrowings to 8.05% for the three months ended September 30, 2005 from 6.66% for the prior year period. The average balance of junior subordinated debentures increased $45,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2005 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2004. Net Interest and Dividend Income. Net interest and dividend income before provision for loan losses for the three months ended September 30, 2005 was $10.2 million compared to $11.1 million recorded in the prior year period. For the three months ended September 30, 2005, average net interest-earning assets decreased $259,000 when compared to the three months ended September 30, 2004. The net interest rate spread and net interest margin for the three months ended September 30, 2005 were 1.92% and 2.05%, respectively, a decrease from 2.25% and 2.38% for the three months ended September 30, 2004. The net interest margin compressed during the current year period when compared to the prior year period principally due to growth in the loan portfolio at relatively lower returns coupled with the upward repricing of certain deposits and borrowings. 16 Provision for Loan Losses. There was no provision for loan losses recorded for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, which is consistent with the Company's historically low levels of non-accruing loans and loan chargeoffs. Management believes that the current allowance for loan losses is adequate to absorb probable losses on existing loans that may become uncollectible. The allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2005 was $5.9 million compared to $6.1 million at June 30, 2005. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of non-accruing loans was 296.10% at September 30, 2005, compared to 231.00% at June 30, 2005. Non-accruing loans were $2.0 million at September 30, 2005 compared to $2.6 million at June 30, 2005. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans at September 30, 2005 was 0.39% compared to 0.41% at June 30, 2005, primarily due to the increase in the balance of the overall loan portfolio. See the discussion on the allowance for loan losses in this Form 10-Q under "Critical Accounting Policies". Non-Interest Income. For the three months ended September 30, 2005, non-interest income was $4.0 million compared to $1.1 million for the prior year period. The increase in non-interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2005 was primarily due to an increase in fees and service charges, when compared to the prior year period. Fee and service charge income for the three months ended September 30, 2005 was $3.5 million, reflecting an increase of $2.7 million from the $726,000 recorded for the prior year period. Fees and service charges increased during the three months ended September 30, 2005 primarily due to a prepayment premium of $2.7 million earned on the payoff of a large-balance commercial real estate loan. During the three months ended September 30, 2005, the net gain on sales of loans was $122,000 compared to $24,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2004. Approximately $20.8 million of fixed rate one- to four-family residential mortgage loans were sold into the secondary market and to other financial institutions during the three months ended September 30, 2005. During the three months ended September 30, 2004, approximately $4.5 million of fixed rate one- to four-family residential mortgage loans were sold into the secondary market and to other financial institutions. Non-Interest Expenses. Non-interest expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2005 were $7.8 million, or 1.49% of average assets. For the comparable prior year period, non-interest expenses were $6.1 million, or 1.26% of average assets. The current period expense level reflects $1.4 million of penalties associated with prepaying $35.0 million of FHLB of New York advances, $259,000 of increased obligation under certain long-term benefit plans and $372,000 of accelerated depreciation expense for branch automation system software that is no longer used. In addition, costs associated with regulatory burden, especially compliance with Sarbanes-Oxley Section 404, continue to require additional expenditures. Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense was relatively unchanged at $2.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and the three months ended September 30, 2004. However, the effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2005 was 35.7% compared to 37.4 % for the three months ended September 30, 2004. The increase in the effective tax rate for the prior year period was primarily due to adjustments in valuation allowances established against state deferred tax assets. 17 Analysis of Net Interest Income The following table sets forth certain information relating to the Company's Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition and the Consolidated Statements of Income for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 and reflects 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.

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, 2005, 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 $377.8 million, representing a one year negative gap of 17.79% of total assets, compared to a one year negative gap of $166.8 million, or 8.13%, of total assets at June 30, 2005. The Company's gap position changed from June 30, 2005 as the estimated short-term cash flows for the Company's interest-bearing liabilities have exceeded the estimated cash flows from interest-earning assets. With respect to assets, the projected redemption of callable U.S. government agency securities extended beyond one year with the rise in market rates, while prepayment expectations on loans and mortgage-backed securities have declined. For liabilities, growth in short-term retail certificates of deposit and other wholesale borrowings due within one year, as well as a shift in core deposit balances from longer duration savings accounts to shorter duration money market accounts, have contributed to the increase in the negative gap. 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 20 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. Furthermore, 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 by a 2% increase or decrease in rates, whichever produces a larger decline. Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS") guidelines would characterize an institution with a Post Shock ratio of less than 4% to have "high" interest rate risk if the Sensitivity Measure is greater than 2%. 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 September 30, 2005, the Bank's internally generated initial NPV ratio was 9.74%. Following a 2% increase in interest rates, the Bank's Post-Shock NPV ratio was 7.30%. The change in the NPV ratio, or the Bank's Sensitivity Measure, was negative 2.44%. As of September 30, 2005, the Company's internally generated initial NPV ratio was 9.61%, the Post-Shock ratio was 6.93%, and the Sensitivity Measure was negative 2.68%. As of June 30, 2005, the Bank's Post-Shock NPV ratio and Sensitivity Measure were 8.33% and negative 1.86%, respectively, and the Company's Post-Shock NPV ratio and Sensitivity Measure were 8.27% and negative 1.70%, respectively. Both the Post-Shock NPV ratio and the Sensitivity Measure deteriorated since June 30, 2005. The deterioration in the Sensitivity Measure is primarily attributable to a rise in the projected duration of assets and an increase in the sensitivity of FHLB of New York convertible advances. Asset duration increased principally due to a shift in the projected redemption date of U.S. government agency securities to beyond one year, as well as a decline in prepayment estimates that resulted from a rise in longer term market rates. Higher market rates improved retail deposit and wholesale borrowing values but reduced their average duration. Variances between the Bank's and the Company's NPV ratios are attributable to balance sheet items which are eliminated 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 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, 2005 (the latest date for which information is available), the Bank's initial NPV ratio, as measured by the OTS, was 8.86%, the Bank's Post-Shock ratio was 5.35% and the Sensitivity Measure was negative 3.51%. 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, 2005, based on its internally generated simulation models, the Company's consolidated net interest income projected for one year forward would decrease 13% from the base case, or current market, as a result of an immediate and sustained 2% increase in interest rates. Although interest rates are not expected to rise 2% immediately, projections over the next year assume a rise in interest rates and a slight tightening followed by a slight widening of the rate spread between the 3-month U.S. treasury bill and the 10-year U.S. treasury bond. If short term rates rise more quickly than long term rates, interest rate risk measures would be expected to improve, but earnings would likely be negatively affected. 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 21 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. In the event that the Company should require funds beyond its ability to generate them internally, additional sources of funds are available through the use of FHLB of New York advances, reverse repurchase agreements and various overnight repricing lines of credit. 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. Future liquidity requirements are not expected to be significantly different from historical experience. The Company's cash inflows for the three months ended September 30, 2005 included $21.0 million of proceeds from the sale of loans, a $23.7 million increase in deposits (net of accrued interest payable), a $95.2 million increase in FHLB of New York advances and other borrowings, including short term borrowings, and principal repayments of loans and mortgage-backed securities. During the three months ended September 30, 2005, the cash provided was used to repay $45.0 million of maturing FHLB of New York advances and other borrowings and to fund investing activities, which included the origination of loans and the purchase of $15.0 million of investment securities. The Company's cash inflows for the three months ended September 30, 2004 included $4.5 million of proceeds from the sale of loans, principal repayments of loans and mortgage-backed securities, a $47.2 million increase in deposits (net of accrued interest payable) and a $62.4 million increase in FHLB of New York advances and other borrowings, including short term borrowings. During the three months ended September 30, 2004, the cash provided was used to repay $50.0 million of maturing FHLB of New York advances and other borrowings and to fund the origination of loans. 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 (a) 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 "Act")) was carried out as of September 30, 2005 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, as of September 30, 2005, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were 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, 2005, no change occurred in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting. In connection with its review of the Company's consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended December 31, 2004, KPMG LLP, the Company's independent registered public accounting firm, discussed with the Company's management the applicability of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 102, Statement of Cash Flows, Exemption of Certain Enterprises and Classification of Cash Flows from Certain Securities Acquired for Resale. In previously issued 22 consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company had accounted for all loan sale activity as operating activities. SFAS No. 102 provides that sales of loans initially originated by the Company for retention in its portfolio (as opposed to loans originated for the purpose of resale) must be accounted for in the statements of cash flows as investing activities. Beginning with its consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended December 31, 2004, the Company has accounted for its loan sale activities in the statements of cash flows in the manner required by SFAS No. 102 and corrected the classification in prior period statements to be consistent with this presentation. At the time of the filing of the December 31, 2004 Form 10-Q, the Company deemed the change to be a reclassification - not an error requiring restatement; accordingly, no Form 8-K to report the change was then required. On August 31, 2005, in connection with the preparation of the June 30, 2005 Form 10-K, management revisited the reclassification item in discussions with Deloitte & Touche LLP, the Company's former independent registered public accounting firm, and KPMG LLP. Following these discussions, management concluded that restatement of the previously filed consolidated statements of cash flows was appropriate. Management informed the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company of these discussions and its conclusion at the meeting of the Audit Committee on September 1, 2005. In order to ensure the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures, senior management advised the key personnel involved in the preparation and review of the Company's financial statements of the correct method of accounting for the origination and sale of loans in accordance with SFAS No. 102. The Company's restated consolidated statement of cash flows for the three months ended September 30, 2004 appears in this Form 10-Q under Item 1. Financial Statements, and the affected components are shown in Note 5 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The restatement caused net cash provided by operating activities to decrease, and net cash used in investing activities to decrease, dollar for dollar, by $4,467,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2004. The restatement had no effect on net cash provided by financing activities or the net change in cash and cash equivalents for that period. The Company does not expect that its disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting will prevent all error and all fraud. A control procedure, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control procedure are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control procedures, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls may be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by override of the control. The design of any control procedure also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control procedure, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. 23 PART II - Other Information Item 1.
