Note 3. Comprehensive Income
- ----------------------------
For the three month periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 total comprehensive
income, representing net income plus or minus items recorded directly in equity,
such as the change in unrealized gains or losses on securities available for

ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, total comprehensive income amounted to $11,535,000
and $5,590,000, respectively.
Note 4. Impact of Recent Accounting Pronouncements
- --------------------------------------------------
In June 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 138 "Accounting for Certain
Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities, an Amendment to FASB
Statement No. 133". SFAS No. 138 amends certain aspects of SFAS No. 133 to
simplify the accounting for derivatives and hedges under SFAS No. 133. SFAS No.
138 is effective upon the company's adoption of SFAS No. 133 (January 1, 2001).
The initial adoption of SFAS No. 133 and SFAS No. 138 did not have a material
impact on the Company's financial statements.
5
In September 2000, the FASB issued SFAS No. 140, "Accounting for Transfers and
Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities (A Replacement
of FASB Statement 125)." SFAS No. 140 supersedes and replaces the guidance in
SFAS No. 125 and, accordingly, provides guidance on the following topics:
securitization transactions involving financial assets, sales of financial
assets such as receivables, loans, and securities; factoring transactions; wash
sales; servicing assets and liabilities, collateralized borrowing arrangements;
securities lending transactions; repurchase agreements; loan collateralized
borrowing arrangements; securities lending transactions; repurchase agreements;
loan participations; and extinguishment of liabilities. The provisions of SFAS
No. 140 are effective for transactions entered into after March 31, 2001. The
initial adoption of SFAS No. 140 did not have a material impact on the Company's
financial statements.
On July 20, 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations," and
SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." SFAS 141 requires that the
purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations initiated
after June 30, 2001 as well as all purchase method business combinations
completed after June 30, 2001. SFAS 141 also specifies the criteria acquired
intangible assets must meet to be recognized and reported apart from goodwill.
SFAS 142 will require that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful
lives no longer be amortized, but instead tested for impairment at least
annually in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 142. SFAS 142 will also
require that intangible assets with definite useful lives be amortized over
their respective estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values, and
reviewed for impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long Lived Assets and for Long Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of."
SFAS 142 requires that goodwill and any intangible asset determined to have an
indefinite useful life acquired after June 30, 2001 will not be amortized, but
will continue to be evaluated for impairment in accordance with the appropriate
pre-SFAS 142 accounting literature. Goodwill and intangible assets acquired in
business combinations completed before July 1, 2001 will continue to be
amortized prior to the adoption of SFAS 142.
The Company is required to adopt the provisions of SFAS 141 immediately. The
initial adoption of SFAS 141 had no impact on the Company's consolidated
financial statements. The Company is required to adopt SFAS 142 effective
January 1, 2002. As of June 30, 2001, the Company has $1.1 million in recorded
goodwill with quarterly amortization of $63,000 which will cease upon the
adoption of SFAS 142. The Company is currently evaluating the goodwill
impairment criteria of SFAS 142 and is not able to estimate the impact, if any,
that SFAS 142 may have on recorded goodwill upon the adoption of SFAS 142. The
impairment adjustment, if any, will have to be recorded by the Company by no
later than December 31, 2002. The Company does not anticipate that SFAS 142 will
significantly impact the Company's accounting for currently recorded intangible
assets, primarily core deposit intangibles.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
Financial Condition
Total assets at June 30, 2001 were $1.725 billion, an increase of $84.6 million,
compared to $1.640 billion at December 31, 2000.
Loans receivable, net, increased by $80.6 million to a balance of $1.218 billion
at June 30, 2001, compared to a balance of $1.137 billion at December 31, 2000.
The increase was partly attributable to commercial lending (including commercial
real estate) initiatives which accounted for $10.3 million of this growth.
Additionally, mortgage loan volume was strong due to increased refinance
activity in the low interest rate environment. Deposit balances increased $2.1
million to $1.106 billion at June 30, 2001 from $1.104 billion at December 31,
2000. Although overall deposit growth was modest, core deposit categories, a key
emphasis for the Company, increased by $52.8 million as time deposits declined.
Stockholder's equity at June 30, 2001 decreased to $153.8 million, compared to
$157.7 million at December 31, 2000 due to the execution of the Company's eighth
stock repurchase program. The Company repurchased 646,100 shares of common stock
during the first half of 2001 at a total cost of $15.3 million. Under the 10%
repurchase program authorized by the Board of Directors in August 2000, 139,343
shares remain to be purchased as of June 30, 2001. On July 19, 2001, the
Company's Board of Directors authorized an additional repurchase program for 10%
of the outstanding common stock, or 1,040,476 common shares. The new repurchase
program will begin upon consummation of the existing plan.
Results of Operations
General
Net income increased to $4.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001,
as compared to net income of $4.3 million for the three months ended June 30,
2000, while diluted earnings per share increased to $.45 for the three months
ended June 30, 2001, as compared to $.41 for the same prior year period. For the
six months ended June 30, 2001, net income decreased to $8.5 million from $8.7
million for the six months ended June 30, 2000, while diluted earnings per share
increased to $.85 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $.80 in
the same prior year period. Earnings per share is favorably affected by the
Company's repurchase program, which reduced the number of shares outstanding.
Interest Income
Interest income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001 was $29.4
million and $58.7 million, respectively, compared to $28.6 million and $56.7
million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2000, respectively. The
increases in interest income were due to increases in average interest-earning
assets of $73.0 million and $49.3 million for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2001, as compared to the same prior year periods. The yield on
interest-earning assets decreased to 7.28% for the three months ended June 30,
2001 as compared to 7.42% for the same prior year period. For the six months
ended June 30, 2001, the yield on earning assets increased to 7.41%, as compared
to 7.38% for the same prior year period. Despite the second quarter decline,
which was reflective of the general interest rate environment, the asset yield
in both periods still benefited from the Bank's strong loan growth, which was
partly funded by reductions in the lower yielding investment and mortgage-backed
securities available for sale portfolios. For the three and six months ended
June 30, 2001 loans receivable represented 75.1% and 75.2%, respectively, of
average interest-earning assets as compared to 70.2% and 69.4%, respectively,
for the same prior year periods.
7
Interest Expense
Interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001 was $16.5
million and $33.1 million, respectively, compared to $16.1 million and $31.5
million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2000, respectively. The
increase in interest expense was primarily the result of an increase in average
interest-bearing liabilities which rose by $69.5 million and $52.1 million for
the three and six months ended June 30, 2001, respectively, as compared to the
same prior year periods. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased to
4.50% for the three months ended June 30, 2001, as compared to 4.61% in the same
prior year period. For the six months ended June 30, 2001, the cost of
interest-bearing liabilities increased to 4.60% as compared to 4.55% for the
same prior year period. Funding costs were partly restrained due the Company's
focus on lower costing core deposit growth. Core deposits (including
non-interest-bearing deposits) represented 44.6% and 43.2% of average deposits
for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001, respectively, as compared to
38.0% and 37.8%, respectively, for the same prior year periods. The Company's
stock repurchase programs will generally cause interest-bearing liabilities to
rise at a greater rate than interest-earning assets due to the reduction in
stockholders' equity as a funding source.
Provision for Loan Losses
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2001, the Company's provision for
loan losses was $260,000 and $515,000, respectively, as compared to $250,000 and
$490,000 for the same prior year periods.
Other Income
Other income was $3.3 million and $6.1 million for the three and six months
ended June 30, 2001, respectively, compared to $1.5 million and $2.9 million for
the same prior year periods. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2001
the Company recorded a gain of $1.4 million and $2.5 million, respectively, on
the sale of loans, as compared to gains of $12,000 and $72,000, respectively, in
the same prior year periods. The increased gains from loan sales are primarily
due to the mortgage banking activities of Columbia Equities, Ltd. ("Columbia"),
a mortgage banking company acquired by the Company on August 18, 2000. The Bank
also periodically sells 30 year fixed-rate mortgage loans to assist in the
management of interest rate risk.
Excluding the respective net gains on the sale of loans, other income increased
by $356,000, or 23.6%, and $807,000, or 29.0%, for the three and six months
ended June 30, 2001, respectively, as compared to the same prior year periods.
Fees and service charges increased due to the growth in commercial account
services, retail core account balances, investment services and trust fees. The
Company continues to focus on growing non-interest revenue with the expected
introduction of insurance services later this year.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses were $9.1 million and $18.2 million, respectively, for the
three and six months ended June 30, 2001, as compared to $7.2 million and $14.4
million, respectively, in the same prior year periods. The increases were
principally due to operating expenses associated with Columbia, and the costs
associated with the opening and operation of the Bank's fourteenth and fifteenth
branch offices in May 2000 and February 2001, respectively.
Provision for Income Taxes
Income tax expense was $2.4 million and $4.6 million for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2001 compared to $2.3 million and $4.5 million for the
same prior year periods.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's primary sources of funds are deposits, principal and interest
payments on loans and mortgage-backed securities, proceeds from the sale of
loans, Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") and other borrowings and, to a lesser
extent, investment maturities. While scheduled amortization of loans is a
predictable source of funds, deposit flows and mortgage prepayments are greatly
influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition. The
Company has other sources of liquidity if a need for additional funds arises,
including an overnight line of credit and advances from the FHLB.
8
At June 30, 2001, the Company had $84.8 million of outstanding overnight
borrowings from the FHLB, an increase from $52.5 million at December 31, 2000.
The Company utilizes the overnight line from time to time to fund short-term
liquidity needs. The Company also had other borrowings of $362.7 million at June
30, 2001, an increase from $311.5 million at December 31, 2000. These borrowings
were used to fund a wholesale leverage strategy designed to improve returns on
invested capital.
The Company's cash needs for the six months ended June 30, 2001, were primarily
provided by principal payments on loans and mortgage-backed securities, proceeds
from the sale of mortgage loans held for sale and increased total borrowings.
The cash was principally utilized for loan originations, the purchase of
mortgage-backed securities and the purchase of treasury stock. For the six
months ended June 30, 2000, the cash needs of the Company were primarily
satisfied by principal payments on loans and mortgage-backed securities,
proceeds from the sale of mortgage loans held for sale and increased deposits
and total borrowings. The cash provided was principally used for the origination
of loans and the purchase of treasury stock.
At June 30, 2001, the Bank exceeded all of its regulatory capital requirements
with tangible capital of $129.5 million, or 7.5%, of total adjusted assets,
which is above the required level of $25.8 million or 1.5%; core capital of
$129.5 million or 7.5% of total adjusted assets, which is above the required
level of $51.6 million, or 3.0%; and risk-based capital of $139.1 million, or
14.1% of risk-weighted assets, which is above the required level of $78.9
million or 8.0%. The Bank is considered a "well capitalized" institution under
the Office of Thrift Supervision's prompt corrective action regulations.
Non-Performing Assets
The following table sets forth information regarding the Company's nonperforming
assets consisting of non-accrual loans and Real Estate Owned (REO). It is the
policy of the Company to cease accruing interest on loans 90 days or more past
due or in the process of foreclosure.

The increase in non-performing loans is due primarily to one non-performing
commercial loan with an outstanding balance of $2.4 million, which was placed on
non-accrual status during the quarter ended June 30, 2001. The loan is
represented by a participation interest in a $125 million shared national credit
on a company headquartered in New Jersey, and is secured by corporate assets and
various commercial real estate properties. The Bank does not participate in any
other shared national credits.

Private Securities Litigation Reform Act Safe Harbor Statement
In addition to historical information, this quarterly report may include certain
forward looking statements based on current management expectations. The
Company's actual results could differ materially from those management
expectations. Factors that could cause future results to vary from current
management expectations include, but are not limited to, general economic
conditions, legislative and regulatory changes, monetary and fiscal policies of
the federal government, changes in tax policies, rates and regulations of
federal and state tax authorities, changes in interest rates, deposit flows, the
cost of funds, demand for loan products, demand for financial services,
competition, changes in the quality or composition of the Bank's loan and
investment portfolios, changes in accounting principles, policies or guidelines,
and other economic, competitive, governmental and technological factors
affecting the Company's operations, markets, products, services and prices.
Further description of the risks and uncertainties to the business are included
in Item 1, Business, of the Company's 2000 Form 10-K.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk
The Company's interest rate sensitivity is monitored by management through the
use of an interest rate risk (IRR) model. Based on internal IRR modeling the
Company's one year gap at June 30, 2001 was negative 9.5% as compared to
negative 10.8% at December 31, 2000. Additionally, the table below sets forth
the Company's exposure to interest rate risk as measured by the change in net
portfolio value ("NPV") and net interest income under varying rate shocks as of
June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000. All methods used to measure interest rate
sensitivity involve the use of assumptions, which may tend to oversimplify the
manner in which actual yields and costs respond to changes in market interest
rates. The Company's interest rate sensitivity should be reviewed in conjunction
with the financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company's
Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2000.
At June 30, 2001, the Company's NPV in a static rate environment is less than
the NPV at December 31, 2000, reflecting the Company's declining capital levels
resulting from common stock repurchase programs and the lower interest rate
environment which reduces the value of the Company's core deposits. Also, in a
shocked interest rate environment, the Company projects a greater percent change
in NPV at June 30, 2001 than was the case at December 31, 2000. The heightened
interest rate sensitivity is primarily due to the declining capital base which
accentuates, on a percentage basis, similar dollar changes in NPV.
