PART I
Item 1. Business
General
PennFed Financial Services, Inc. ("PennFed" and with its subsidiaries, the
"Company"), a Delaware corporation, was organized in March 1994 for the purpose
of becoming the savings and loan holding company for Penn Federal Savings Bank
("Penn Federal" or the "Bank") in connection with the Bank's conversion from a
federally chartered mutual savings bank to a federally chartered stock savings
bank (the "Conversion"). PennFed owns all of the outstanding stock of the Bank.
All references to the Company, unless otherwise indicated, prior to July 14,
1994 refer to the Bank and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis. The
Company's common stock is traded on the Nasdaq National Market Tier of the
Nasdaq Stock Market under the symbol "PFSB."
PennFed and the Bank are subject to comprehensive regulation, examination and
supervision by the Office of Thrift Supervision, Department of the Treasury
("OTS") and by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"). The Bank is a
member of the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") System and its deposits are
insured up to applicable limits by the FDIC.
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 attracts deposits from the general
public and uses such deposits, together with borrowings and other funds, to
originate and purchase one- to four-family residential mortgage loans, and, to a
lesser extent, commercial and multi-family real estate and consumer loans. See
"-Originations, Purchases, Sales and Servicing of Loans." The Company also
invests in mortgage-backed securities secured by one- to four-family residential
mortgages, U.S. Government and agency obligations and other permissible
investments.
The Company offers a variety of deposit accounts having a wide range of interest
rates and terms, which generally include savings, money market, and a variety of
checking accounts, as well as certificate accounts. The Company generally
solicits deposits in its primary market areas.
At June 30, 1999, the Company had total assets of $1.6 billion, deposits of $1.1
billion, borrowings of $333.2 million and stockholders' equity of $107.5
million.
At June 30, 1999, the Company's gross loan portfolio totaled $1.1 billion,
including $915.2 million of one- to four-family residential first mortgage
loans, $74.6 million of commercial and multi-family real estate loans and $72.6
million of consumer loans. In addition, on that date, the Company had $128.0
million of mortgage-backed securities and $309.9 million of other investment
securities and FHLB of New York stock.
At June 30, 1999, the vast majority of the Company's first and second mortgage
loans (excluding mortgage-backed securities) were secured by properties located
in New Jersey. Of the loans secured by properties outside the State of New
Jersey, the majority are one- to four-family loans and the balance are
commercial and multi-family real estate loans. See "-Originations, Purchases,
Sales and Servicing of Loans." The Company's revenues are derived primarily from
interest on loans, mortgage-backed securities and investments, and income from
service charges.
Penn Federal, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Penn Savings Insurance
Agency, Inc., offers insurance and uninsured non-deposit investment products to
its customers. See "-Subsidiary Activities."
In October 1997, Penn Federal formed Ferry Development Holding Company, a
Delaware operating subsidiary, to hold and manage its investment portfolio.
The administrative offices of the Company are located at 622 Eagle Rock Avenue,
West Orange, New Jersey 07052-2989, and the telephone number at that address is
(973) 669-7366.
Forward-Looking Statements
When used in this Form 10-K 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. Such 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, demand for loans in the Company's market area
and competition, 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 such
forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. The Company
wishes to advise readers that the factors listed above 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 does 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
such statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated
events.
Market Area
The Company's primary market areas are comprised of the Ironbound section of the
City of Newark and surrounding urban communities, the suburban Essex County
areas and selected areas of central/southern New Jersey, which are serviced
through twenty full service offices. Penn Federal was organized in the Ironbound
section of Newark in 1941 and the home office of the Bank remains there. The
Ironbound section of the City of Newark and immediately adjacent communities of
East Newark and Harrison are primarily urban blue collar areas with two or more
family dwellings and some manufacturing and industry. Deposits at Bank branches
in these areas comprise 34% of total Bank deposits. The suburban Essex County
area consists of communities with predominantly single family homes, and a white
collar commuter population. Suburban Essex County is the Bank's largest market
area, accounting for approximately 39% of total Bank deposits at June 30, 1999.
Penn Federal's central/southern New Jersey branches are located in selected
areas of Middlesex, Monmouth and northern Ocean counties. The central/southern
region branches, with 27% of total Bank deposits, serve retirement populations
and expanding townhouse, multi-family and single family home developments. The
Bank also purchases one- to four-family residential loans secured by properties
located primarily in New Jersey. See "-Originations, Purchases, Sales and
Servicing of Loans."
Lending Activities
General. The Company primarily originates and purchases fixed and adjustable
rate, one- to four-family first mortgage loans. The Company's general policy is
to originate and purchase such mortgages with maturities between 10 and 30
years. Adjustable rate mortgage ("ARM") loans are originated and purchased in
order to increase the percentage of loans with more frequent repricing than
fixed rate, one- to four-family mortgage loans. The Company underwrites mortgage
loans generally using Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae guidelines, although loan
amounts may exceed agency limits. See "-Loan Portfolio Composition" and "-One-
to Four-Family Residential Mortgage Lending."
The Company also originates commercial and multi-family real estate loans and
consumer loans. Such loans generally reprice more frequently, have shorter
maturities, and/or have higher yields than fixed rate, one- to four-family
mortgage loans.
Residential and consumer loan applications may be approved by various officers
up to $1.25 million and $1.0 million, respectively. Commercial and multi-family
real estate loan applications are initially considered and approved at various
levels of authority, depending on the amount of the loan. All commercial and
multi-family real estate loans between $750,000 and $1.25 million must be
approved by the Executive Loan Committee which consists of the President and
certain executive and senior officers. The approval of the Company's Board of
Directors is required for all loans above $1.25 million.
The aggregate amount of loans that the Company is permitted to make under
applicable federal regulations to any one borrower, including related entities,
or the aggregate amount that the Company could have invested in any one real
estate project is generally the greater of 15% of unimpaired capital and surplus
or $500,000. See "Regulation-Federal Regulation of Savings Associations." At
June 30, 1999, the maximum amount which the Company could have lent to any one
borrower and the borrower's related entities was approximately $18.8 million.
The Company's current policy is to limit such loans to a maximum of 50% of the
general regulatory limit or $5.0 million, whichever is less. At June 30, 1999,
the Company did not have any loans or series of loans to one borrower with
outstanding balances in excess of $3.0 million. At June 30, 1999, the Company's
largest group of loans to one borrower totaled $3.0 million and consisted of
four commercial real estate loans aggregating $2.7 million and one commercial
real estate loan for $283,000 for which a borrower on the four commercial real
estate loans is also a guarantor on this loan. The four commercial real estate
loans are secured by multi-family properties in Essex County. The $283,000 loan
represents the Company's participation in a construction loan for a senior
assisted-living complex in Morris County. At June 30, 1999, there was a total of
19 loans or lender relationships in excess of $1.0 million, for a total amount
of $30.9 million. At that date, all of these loans were performing in accordance
with their respective repayment terms.

are shown as amortizing to final maturity rather than when the interest rates
are next subject to change. Loans with balloon payments are also shown as
amortizing to final maturity (i.e., when the balloon payment is due). All
balances are shown on a gross basis and, thus, include no premium or discount
adjustments. Savings account loans and overdraft checking balances, included in
consumer loans, which have no stated final maturity, are reported as due within
one year. The table does not reflect the effects of possible prepayments or
scheduled principal amortization.

One- to Four-Family Residential Mortgage Lending. At June 30, 1999, the
Company's one- to four-family residential mortgage loans totaled $915.2 million,
or approximately 86.15% of the Company's gross loan portfolio. Residential loan
originations are generated by the Company's in-house originations staff,
marketing efforts, its present customers, walk-in customers and referrals from
real estate agents, mortgage brokers and builders. The Company focuses its
lending efforts primarily on the origination of loans secured by first mortgages
on owner-occupied, one- to four-family residences. During the fiscal year ended
June 30, 1999, the Company originated $257.7 million of fixed rate real estate
loans secured by one- to four-family residential real estate. ARM loans
originated during fiscal 1999 totaled $37.8 million. Substantially all of the
Company's one- to four-family residential mortgage originations are secured by
properties located in the State of New Jersey.
During fiscal 1999, the Company had one correspondent relationship with another
institution through which it purchased $15.4 million of newly originated fixed
and $15.8 million of newly originated adjustable rate one- to four-family
residential first mortgages, all of which are secured by properties located in
the State of New Jersey. A second correspondent relationship was added in late
fiscal 1999. Actual purchases of loans from this second correspondent did not
begin until July 1999. Loans are underwritten by the correspondent institutions
using the Company's guidelines and a portion of those loans are re-underwritten
by the Bank on a test basis. All loans purchased are supported by customary
representations and warranties provided by the correspondent institutions.
See "-Originations, Purchases, Sales and Servicing of Loans."
The Company currently originates one- to four-family residential mortgage loans
with terms of up to 30 years in amounts up to 95% of the appraised value of the
security property. The Company generally requires that private mortgage
insurance be obtained in an amount sufficient to reduce the Company's exposure
to 80% or less of the loan-to-value level. Interest rates charged on loans are
competitively priced according to market conditions.
In underwriting one- to four-family residential real estate loans, the Company
evaluates the borrower's ability to make monthly payments, past credit history
and the value of the property securing the loan. Properties securing real estate
loans made by the Company are appraised by independent appraisers approved by
the Board of Directors. The Company requires borrowers to obtain title insurance
and fire and property insurance (including flood insurance, if necessary) in the
amount of the loan or the replacement cost, whichever is less. Real estate loans
originated and purchased by the Company contain a "due on sale" clause allowing
the Company to declare the unpaid principal balance due and payable upon the
sale of the security property.
Commercial and Multi-Family Real Estate Lending. The Company engages in
commercial and multi-family real estate lending in its market areas. At June 30,
1999, the Company had $74.6 million of commercial and multi-family real estate
loans which represented 7.02% of the Company's gross loan portfolio. This amount
includes less than $625,000 of lines of credit secured by non-real estate
business assets. At June 30, 1999, the average per loan balance of the Company's
commercial and multi-family real estate loans outstanding was $265,000.
The Company's commercial and multi-family real estate loan portfolio is secured
primarily by apartment buildings, mixed-use buildings, small office buildings,
restaurants, warehouses and strip shopping centers. Commercial and multi-family
real estate loans typically have terms that do not exceed 15 years and have a
variety of rate adjustment features and other terms. Generally, the loans are
made in amounts up to 75% of the appraised value of the security property.
Adjustable rate commercial and multi-family real estate loans normally provide
for a margin over various U.S. Treasury securities adjusted to a constant
maturity, with periodic adjustments, or are tied to the Prime Rate as reported
in the Wall Street Journal. In underwriting these loans, the Company analyzes
the current financial condition of the borrower, the borrower's credit history,
and the reliability and predictability of the cash flow generated by the
property securing the loan. The Company usually requires personal guarantees of
the borrowers. Appraisals on properties securing commercial real estate loans
originated by the Company are performed by independent appraisers approved by
the Board of Directors.
Commercial and multi-family real estate loans generally present a higher level
of risk than loans secured by one-to four-family residences. This greater risk
is due to several factors, including the concentration of principal in a limited
number of loans and borrowers, the effect of general economic conditions on
income-producing properties and the increased difficulty of evaluating and
monitoring these types of loans. Furthermore, the repayment of loans secured by
commercial and multi-family real estate is typically dependent upon the
successful operation of the related real estate project. If the cash flow from
the project is reduced (e.g., if leases are not obtained or renewed, or a
bankruptcy court modifies a lease term, or a major tenant is unable to fulfill
its lease obligations), the borrower's ability to repay the loan may be
impaired.
Consumer Lending. The Company offers a variety of secured consumer loans,
including home equity lines of credit, second mortgages, automobile loans, boat
loans and loans secured by savings deposits. In addition, the Company offers
unsecured overdraft checking protection. At June 30, 1999, the Company's total
consumer loan portfolio was $72.6 million, or 6.83% of its gross loan portfolio,
of which approximately 56% were fixed rate loans and 44% were adjustable rate
loans. The Company currently originates substantially all of its consumer loans
in its primary market areas.
The Company originates adjustable rate home equity lines of credit and fixed
rate second mortgage loans generally up to $250,000. Home equity lines of credit
and second mortgage loans together with loans secured by all prior liens, are
generally limited to 75% or less of the appraised value of the property securing
the loan. Second mortgage loans have a maximum term of up to 20 years. Home
equity lines of credit may have varying terms up to 20 years. These loans are
underwritten utilizing criteria similar to the Company's first mortgage loans.
As of June 30, 1999, second mortgage loans and home equity lines of credit
amounted to $69.0 million or 6.49% of the Company's gross loan portfolio.
Consumer loan terms vary according to the type and value of collateral, length
of contract and creditworthiness of the borrower. The underwriting standards
employed by the Company for consumer loans include an application, a
determination of the applicant's payment history on other debts and an
assessment of the borrower's ability to meet existing obligations and payments
on the proposed loan. Although creditworthiness of the applicant is a primary
consideration, the underwriting process also includes a comparison of the value
of the security, if any, in relation to the proposed loan amount.
Consumer loans may entail greater credit risk than residential first mortgage
loans, particularly in the case of consumer loans which are unsecured or are
secured by rapidly depreciable assets, such as automobiles and boats. In such
cases, any repossessed collateral from a defaulted consumer loan may not provide
an adequate source of repayment of the outstanding loan balance as a result of
the greater likelihood of damage, loss or depreciation. In addition, consumer
loan collections are dependent on the borrower's continuing financial stability,
and thus are more likely to be affected by adverse personal circumstances.
Furthermore, the application of various federal and state laws, including
bankruptcy and insolvency laws, may limit the amount which can be recovered on
such loans.
Originations, Purchases, Sales and Servicing of Loans
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 1999, the Company originated $371.0 million
of loans, compared to $340.2 million and $173.5 million in fiscal 1998 and 1997,
respectively. Mortgage loan originations are handled by employees of the
Company.
During the fiscal years ended June 30, 1999, 1998 and 1997, the Company
purchased $31.2 million, $89.9 million and $195.5 million of one- to four-family
first mortgage loans, respectively, through correspondent relationships with
other institutions. The purchased loans represent both fixed and adjustable rate
first mortgages secured by properties primarily located throughout New Jersey.
Prior to fiscal 1999, a limited amount of loans secured by properties located in
the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and State of Massachusetts were purchased.
During fiscal 1999, PennFed actively employed a strategy of selling one- to
four-family mortgage loans. This strategy served to mitigate the effects of low
interest rates and a flat yield curve. For the year ended June 30, 1999, the
Company sold $150.5 million of low-coupon, longer duration one- to four-family
first mortgage loans to Freddie Mac and other secondary market purchasers.
In prior years, the Company sold one-to four-family first mortgage loans from
time to time, to Freddie Mac and other secondary market purchasers. The Company
sold loans in aggregate amounts of $76.2 million and $585,000 during the years
ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
In periods of a higher interest rate and steeper yield curve environment, such
as the beginning of fiscal 2000, loan sale activity is expected to be reduced
from the fiscal 1999 level. The level of such activity will continue to be
evaluated with primary consideration given to interest rate risk and long-term
profitability objectives.
When loans are sold, the Company may retain the responsibility for servicing the
loans or may sub-service the loans for a short term period. The Company receives
a fee for performing these services. The Company serviced for others one- to
four-family mortgage loans with an aggregate outstanding principal balance of
$116.2 million, $110.9 million and $78.8 million at June 30, 1999, 1998 and
1997, respectively.
The following table sets forth the activity in the Company's loan portfolio for

Non-Performing and Classified Assets
Generally, when a borrower fails to make a required payment on a real estate
secured loan or other secured loan the Company institutes collection procedures
by mailing a delinquency notice. The customer is contacted again, by telephone,
if the delinquency is not promptly cured. In many cases, delinquencies are cured
promptly; however, if a loan secured by real estate or other collateral has been
delinquent for more than 60 days, a letter of notice of intention to foreclose
is sent and the customer is requested to make arrangements to bring the loan
current. At 90 days past due, unless satisfactory arrangements have been made,
immediate repossession commences or foreclosure procedures are instituted. For
unsecured loans, the collection procedures are similar; however, at 90 days past
due, a specific reserve or charge-off is recommended and, subsequently, a law
suit is filed, if necessary, to obtain a judgement.
At June 30, 1999, the Company's loans delinquent 60 to 89 days totaled $435,000
of which $425,000 were one- to four-family mortgage loans and $10,000 were
consumer loans.
The table below sets forth the Company's amounts and categories of
non-performing assets and restructured loans. Loans are placed on non-accrual
status when the collection of principal or interest becomes delinquent more than
90 days. There are no loans delinquent more than 90 days which are still
accruing. Real estate owned represents assets acquired in settlement of loans
and is shown net of valuation allowances. Restructured loans are all performing
in accordance with modified terms and were, therefore, considered performing.

For the year ended June 30, 1999, gross interest income which would have been
recorded had the non-accruing loans been current in accordance with their
original terms amounted to $137,000, none of which was included in interest
income during this period.
Non-Performing Assets. Non-accruing loans at June 30, 1999 were comprised of 38
one- to four-family loans aggregating $2.9 million, 20 consumer loans
aggregating $687,000 and one commercial and multi-family real estate loan
totaling $46,000.
Real estate owned at June 30, 1999 included six one- to four-family properties
totaling $357,000, the largest of which had a net book value of $127,000, and
one commercial property with a total net book value of $579,000.
Restructured Loans. In the normal course of business the Company has
restructured the terms of certain loans. No loans have been restructured within
the last three fiscal years. Any loan that has been restructured continues to
perform in accordance with the restructured terms.
Other Loans of Concern. As of June 30, 1999, there were $1.1 million of other
loans not included in the table or discussed above where known information about
the possible credit problems of borrowers caused management to have doubts as to
the ability of the borrower to comply with present loan repayment terms and
which may result in disclosure of such loans in the future.
Included in other loans of concern at June 30, 1999 are six loans to one
borrower and one loan to an affiliated party totaling $1.0 million acquired in
the 1989 acquisition of First Federal Savings and Loan Association of Montclair.
The six loans consist of one commercial real estate loan of $436,000, four one-
to four-family loans totaling $217,000 and a $79,000 line of credit. The loan to
an affiliated party consists of a commercial real estate loan of $262,000. All
of these loans are secured by properties located in New Jersey. The commercial
real estate loans are secured by mixed-use properties consisting of retail
stores and apartments located in Essex County, New Jersey. All of these loans
were originated from 1985 to 1989 with thirty year terms. At June 30, 1999, a
$16,000 one- to four-family loan and the line of credit, both secured by the
same property, were more than 90 days past due. Foreclosure proceedings have
begun. Another one- to four-family mortgage loan with a balance of $89,000 was
30 days delinquent at June 30, 1999. The borrower has indicated that the
property securing this particular loan is under contract for sale. All of the
remaining loans were performing in accordance with their respective repayment
terms. The Company continues to monitor these loans due to their periodic
delinquencies.
All of the other loans of concern have been considered by management in
conjunction with the analysis of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses.
Classified Assets. Federal regulations provide for the classification of loans
and other assets such as debt and equity securities considered by the OTS to be
of lesser quality as "substandard," "doubtful" or "loss." An asset is considered
"substandard" if it is inadequately protected by the current net worth and
paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any.
"Substandard" assets include those characterized by the "distinct possibility"
that the savings institution will sustain "some loss" if the deficiencies are
not corrected. Assets classified as "doubtful" have all of the weaknesses
inherent in those classified "substandard," with the added characteristic that
the weaknesses present make "collection or liquidation in full," on the basis of
currently existing facts, conditions and values, "highly questionable and
improbable." Assets classified as "loss" are those considered "uncollectible"
and of such little value that the establishment of a specific loss reserve is
warranted.
When a savings institution classifies problem assets as either substandard or
doubtful, it may establish general allowances for loan losses in an amount
deemed prudent by management. General allowances represent loss allowances which
have been established to recognize the inherent risk associated with lending
activities, but which, unlike specific allowances, have not been allocated to
particular problem assets. When a savings institution classifies problem assets
as "loss," it is required to either establish a specific reserve equal to 100%
of that portion of the asset so classified or to charge-off such amount.
In connection with the filing of its periodic reports with the OTS and in
accordance with its classification of assets policy, the Bank regularly reviews
the assets in its portfolio to determine whether any assets require
classification in accordance with applicable regulations. On the basis of
management's review of its assets at June 30, 1999, the Bank's classified
assets, including real estate owned, totaled $5.7 million, with $5.5 million
classified as substandard and $198,000 classified as loss. Total classified
assets represent 5.33% of the Company's stockholders' equity and 0.37% of the
Company's total assets.
Allowance for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses is established through
a provision for loan losses based on management's evaluation of the risk
inherent in its loan portfolio and changes in the nature and volume of its loan
activity. Such evaluation, which includes a review of loans for which full
collectibility may not be reasonably assured, considers among other matters, the
loan classifications discussed above, the estimated fair value of the underlying
collateral, economic conditions, historical loan loss experience, and other
factors that warrant recognition in providing for an adequate loan loss
allowance.
Real estate properties acquired through foreclosure are recorded at the lower of
cost or estimated fair value less costs to dispose of such properties. If fair
value at the date of foreclosure is lower than the balance of the related loan,
the difference will be charged-off to the allowance for loan losses at the time
of transfer. Valuations are periodically updated by management and if the value
declines, a specific provision for losses on real estate owned is established by
a charge to operations.
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 allowances 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. Such 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.
The following table sets forth an analysis of the Company's allowance for loan
losses at, and for, the dates indicated.

Investment Activities
The Bank must maintain minimum levels of investments that qualify as liquid
assets under OTS regulations. Liquidity may increase or decrease depending upon
the availability of funds and comparative yields on investments in relation to
the return on loans. Historically, the Bank has maintained its liquid assets
above the minimum requirements imposed by the OTS regulations and at a level
believed adequate to meet requirements of normal daily activities, repayment of
maturing debt and potential deposit outflows. As of June 30, 1999, the Bank's
liquidity ratio (liquid assets as a percentage of net withdrawable deposit
accounts and current borrowings) was 21.30%. See "Regulation-Liquidity."
At June 30, 1999, the Company had a securities portfolio consisting principally
of U.S. Government agency securities, including mortgage-backed securities.
These investments carry a low risk weighting for OTS risk-based capital
purposes, generally satisfy OTS liquid-asset requirements and are of relatively
short duration. See "Regulation-Regulatory Capital Requirements" and
"Regulation-Liquidity."
Investment Securities. At June 30, 1999, the Company's investment securities
(including a $16.6 million investment in FHLB of New York stock) totaled $309.9
million, or 19.9 % of its total assets. It is the Company's general policy to
purchase U.S. Government securities and federal agency obligations and other
investment grade securities in accordance with its strategic objectives,
including, but not limited to, liquidity, growth, yield and interest rate risk
management and to provide collateral for borrowings. During fiscal 1998, PennFed
invested in certain non-investment grade Trust preferred securities of other
financial institutions. At June 30, 1999, PennFed held $11.2 million of such
non-investment grade securities. In addition, investment securities at June 30,
1999 included $17.5 million of investment grade Trust preferred securities.
OTS regulations restrict investments in corporate debt and equity securities by
the Bank. See "Regulation-Federal Regulation of Savings Associations" for a
discussion of additional restrictions on the Company's investment activities.
The following table indicates the composition of the investment securities
portfolio, excluding FHLB of New York stock, based on the final maturities of
each investment.

securities of any issuer or tax-exempt securities with an aggregate book value
in excess of 10% of the Company's retained earnings, excluding those issued by
the U.S. Government or its agencies.
Mortgage-Backed Securities. At June 30, 1999, mortgage-backed securities totaled
$128.0 million, or 8.2% of the Company's total assets, of which approximately

Sources of Funds
General. The Company's sources of funds are deposits, borrowings, payment of
principal and interest on loans and mortgage-backed securities, interest
received on and maturities or calls of other investment securities and funds
provided from operations.
Deposits. The Company offers a variety of deposit accounts having a wide range
of interest rates and terms. The Company's deposits consist of savings, money
market and demand deposit accounts, as well as certificate accounts currently
ranging in terms up to 60 months. The Company solicits deposits primarily from
its market areas and relies primarily on product mix, competitive pricing
policies, advertising, customer service and customer relationships to attract
and retain deposits. The Company also solicits short term deposits from
municipalities in its market areas. As of June 30, 1999, certificates of deposit
from municipalities totaled $57.9 million.
The variety of deposit accounts offered by the Company has allowed it to be
competitive in obtaining funds and to respond with flexibility to changes in
consumer demand. The Company endeavors to manage the pricing of its deposits in
keeping with its asset/liability management, liquidity and profitability
objectives. In this regard, the Company has from time-to-time paid slightly
higher rates than its competitors to attract certificates of deposit. Based on
its experience, the Company believes that its savings, money market and demand
deposit accounts are relatively stable sources of deposits. However, the ability
of the Company to attract and maintain certificates of deposit and the rates
paid on these deposits has been and will continue to be significantly affected
by market conditions, including general economic conditions, changes in interest
rates and competition. At June 30, 1999 and 1998, the Company had $1.0 million
of brokered deposits. See Item 8 - Financial Statements Note I - Deposits - of
the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Borrowings. Although deposits are the Company's primary source of funds, the
Company's policy has been to utilize borrowings when they are a less costly
source of funds, can be invested at a positive interest rate spread, when the
Company desires additional capacity to fund loan demand or to extend the life of
its liabilities.
The Company's borrowings historically have consisted of advances from the FHLB
of New York, and to a lesser extent, reverse repurchase agreements. FHLB of New
York advances can be made pursuant to several different credit programs, each of
which has its own interest rate and range of maturities.

Trust Preferred Securities. During fiscal 1998, the Company formed a
wholly-owned trust subsidiary, PennFed Capital Trust I (the "Trust"). Effective
October 21, 1997, the Trust sold $34.5 million of 8.90% cumulative trust
preferred securities to the public which are reflected on the Consolidated
Statement of Financial Condition as Guaranteed Preferred Beneficial Interest in
the Company's Junior Subordinated Debentures (the "Trust Preferred securities").
The Trust used the proceeds from the sale of the Trust Preferred securities to
purchase 8.90% junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures issued by
PennFed. The Company used the proceeds from the junior subordinated debentures
for general corporate purposes, including a $20 million capital contribution to
the Bank to support future growth.
Subsidiary Activities
As a federally chartered savings association, Penn Federal is permitted by OTS
regulations to invest up to 2% of its assets, or $31.2 million at June 30, 1999,
in the stock of, or loans to, service corporation subsidiaries. As of such date,
the net book value of Penn Federal's investment in its service corporation was
$75,000. In addition to investments in service corporations, federal
associations are permitted to invest an unlimited amount in operating
subsidiaries engaged solely in activities which a federal association may engage
in directly. As of June 30, 1999, the Bank's investment in its operating
subsidiary was $421.8 million.
Penn Federal currently has a single service corporation, which is known as Penn
Savings Insurance Agency, Inc. ("PSIA"). PSIA offers insurance and uninsured
non-deposit investment products to the Company's customers and members of the
general public through a program known as Investment Services at Penn Federal.
Securities are offered through Liberty Securities Corp. ("LSC"), a registered
broker dealer, member NASD and SIPC. Annuities and insurance are offered through
IFS Agencies, Inc., a licensed insurance agency. Neither LSC or IFS Agencies,
Inc. is affiliated with the Bank. The Bank's relationship with LSC and IFS
Agencies, Inc., gives customers convenient access to financial
consulting/advisory services and related non-deposit investment products, such
as fixed and variable annuities and mutual funds. In addition, securities
brokerage services are available through Liberty Securities Corp. Beginning
sometime in fiscal 2000, life, health and disability insurance will be available
through IFS Agencies, Inc. To a much lesser extent, PSIA also offers homeowners
insurance to Bank customers.
In October 1997, Penn Federal formed Ferry Development Holding Company, a
Delaware operating subsidiary, to hold and manage its investment portfolio.
Competition
The Company faces strong competition, both in originating real estate and other
loans and in attracting deposits. Competition in originating real estate loans
comes primarily from commercial banks, other savings associations, mortgage
banking companies and credit unions making loans secured by real estate located
in the State of New Jersey. Commercial banks, credit unions and finance
companies provide vigorous competition in consumer lending. The Company competes
for real estate and other loans principally on the basis of the quality of
services it provides to borrowers, interest rates and loan fees it charges, and
the types of products offered.
The Company attracts substantially all of its deposits through its branches,
primarily from the communities in which those offices are located; therefore,
competition for those deposits is principally from commercial banks, savings
associations, credit unions and brokerage houses. The Company competes for these
deposits by offering a variety of deposit accounts at competitive rates, quality
customer service, convenient business hours and branch locations with
interbranch deposit and withdrawal privileges.
REGULATION
General
Penn Federal is a federally chartered savings bank, the deposits of which are
federally insured up to applicable limits. Accordingly, the Bank is subject to
comprehensive federal regulation and oversight extending to all its operations.
Penn Federal is a member of the FHLB of New York and is subject to certain
limited regulation by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System
("Federal Reserve Board"). As the savings and loan holding company of Penn
Federal, PennFed is also subject to federal regulation and oversight. The
purpose of the regulation of PennFed and other savings and loan holding
companies is to protect subsidiary savings associations. The Bank is a member of
the Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF") and the deposits of Penn Federal
are insured by the FDIC. As a result, the FDIC has certain regulatory and
examination authority over the Bank. For purposes of the "Regulation"
discussion, the terms "savings bank," "savings association" and "savings
institution" would apply to the Bank.
Certain of these regulatory requirements and restrictions are discussed below or
elsewhere in this document.
Federal Regulation of Savings Associations
The OTS has extensive authority over the operations of savings associations. As
part of this authority, Penn Federal is required to file periodic reports with
the OTS and is subject to periodic examinations by the OTS and the FDIC. The
last regular OTS and FDIC examinations of the Bank were as of September 1998 and
May 1992, respectively.
All savings associations are subject to a semi-annual OTS assessment, based upon
the savings association's total assets and supervisory evaluation. The Bank's
OTS assessment for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1999 was $260,000.
The OTS also has extensive enforcement authority over all savings institutions
and their holding companies, including Penn Federal and PennFed. This
enforcement authority includes, among other things, the ability to assess civil
money penalties, to issue cease-and-desist and/or removal and prohibition orders
and to initiate injunctive actions. In general, these enforcement actions may be
initiated for violations of laws and regulations and unsafe or unsound
practices. Other actions or inactions may provide the basis for enforcement
action, including misleading or untimely reports filed with the OTS. Except
under certain circumstances, public disclosure of interim and final enforcement
actions by the OTS is required.
In addition, the investment, lending and branching authority of Penn Federal is
prescribed by federal laws, and it is prohibited from engaging in any activities
not permitted by such laws. For instance, no savings institution may invest in
non-investment grade corporate debt securities. In addition, the permissible
level of investment by federal associations in loans secured by non-residential
real property may not exceed 400% of total capital, except with approval of the
OTS. At June 30, 1999, the Bank was in compliance with each of these
restrictions. Federal savings associations meeting the Qualified Thrift Lender
Test or comparable requirement are also generally authorized to branch
nationwide. See "-- Qualified Thrift Lender Test."
The OTS, as well as the other federal banking agencies, has developed guidelines
establishing safety and soundness standards on matters such as loan underwriting
and documentation, internal controls and audit systems, asset quality, earning
standards, interest rate risk exposure and compensation and other employee
benefits.
Insurance of Accounts and Regulation by the FDIC
Penn Federal's deposits are insured by the SAIF, which is administered by the
FDIC. Deposits are insured up to applicable limits by the FDIC. As insurer, the
FDIC imposes deposit insurance premiums and is authorized to conduct
examinations of and to require reporting by FDIC-insured institutions. It also
may prohibit any FDIC-insured institution from engaging in any activity the FDIC
determines by regulation or order to pose a serious risk to the deposit
insurance funds. The FDIC also has the authority to initiate enforcement actions
against savings associations, after giving the OTS an opportunity to take such
action, and may terminate the institution's deposit insurance if it determines
that the institution has engaged or is engaging in unsafe or unsound practices,
or is in an unsafe or unsound condition.
The FDIC's SAIF deposit premiums are assessed through a risk-based system under
which all insured depository institutions are placed into one of nine categories
and assessed insurance premiums, based upon their level of capital and
supervisory evaluation. The current SAIF premium schedule ranges from 0.00% to
0.27% of deposits. The Bank has been notified by the FDIC that for the
semi-annual assessment period beginning July 1, 1999, it will be assessed
insurance premiums at an annual rate of 0.00% because it is considered
financially sound. In addition to the SAIF assessment, the FDIC is authorized to
collect an assessment against SAIF-assessable deposits to be paid to the
Financing Corporation ("FICO"). The actual FICO assessment rate that is applied
to deposits is not tied to the FDIC risk classification and is determined on a
quarterly basis. For the quarterly period beginning July 1, 1999, the Company's
FICO assessment rate is 0.058% of deposits, on an annualized basis.
Prior to September 30, 1996, financial institutions which were members of the
Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF") were assessed substantially lower deposit insurance
premiums because the BIF had achieved its required level of reserves while the
SAIF had not yet achieved its required reserves. As a result of legislation
signed into law on September 30, 1996, the SAIF recapitalization plan provided
for a one-time assessment of 0.657% of deposits, which was imposed on all
institutions with SAIF-insured deposits, to enable the SAIF to achieve its
required level of reserves. The assessment was based on deposits as of March 31,
1995, and the Bank's special assessment was approximately $4.8 million, or $3.1
million, net of taxes. Following the recapitalization assessment, beginning
January 1, 1997 deposit insurance premiums were decreased significantly from the
0.23% of deposits previously paid by the Bank to 0.00%, plus the FICO assessment
described above.
Regulatory Capital Requirements
Federally insured savings associations, such as Penn Federal, are required to
maintain a minimum level of regulatory capital. The OTS has established capital
standards, including a tangible capital requirement, a leverage ratio (or core
capital) requirement and a risk-based capital requirement applicable to such
savings associations. These capital requirements must be generally as stringent
as the comparable capital requirements for national banks. The OTS is also
authorized to impose capital requirements in excess of these standards on
individual associations on a case-by-case basis.
The capital regulations require tangible capital of at least 1.5% of adjusted
total assets (as defined by regulation). Tangible capital generally includes
common stockholders' equity and retained earnings, and certain noncumulative
perpetual preferred stock. In addition, all intangible assets, other than
certain amounts of mortgage servicing rights, must be deducted from assets and
capital for calculating compliance with the requirements. At June 30, 1999, Penn
Federal had $11.1 million of intangible assets other than qualifying mortgage
servicing rights.
The OTS regulations establish special capitalization requirements for savings
associations that own subsidiaries. In determining compliance with the capital
requirements, all subsidiaries engaged solely in activities permissible for
national banks or engaged in certain other activities solely as agent for its
customers are "includable" subsidiaries that are consolidated for capital
purposes in proportion to the association's level of ownership. For excludable
subsidiaries, the debt and equity investments in such subsidiaries are fully
deducted from assets and capital. The Bank has two subsidiaries, Penn Savings
Insurance Agency, Inc. and Ferry Development Holding Co., both of which are
includable subsidiaries.
At June 30, 1999, Penn Federal had tangible capital of $121.9 million, or 7.88%
of adjusted total assets, which was approximately $98.7 million above the
minimum requirement of 1.5% of adjusted total assets in effect on that date.
The capital standards also require core capital equal to at least 3% of adjusted
total assets. Core capital generally consists of tangible capital plus certain
intangible assets up to 25% of adjusted total assets. At June 30, 1999, Penn
Federal did not have any intangibles which were subject to these tests. As a
result of the prompt corrective action provisions discussed below, however, a
savings association must maintain a core capital ratio of at least 4% to be
considered adequately capitalized unless its supervisory condition is such to
allow it to maintain a 3% ratio.
At June 30, 1999, Penn Federal had core capital equal to $121.9 million, or
7.88% of adjusted total assets, which was approximately $60.1 million above the
4% ratio required to be considered adequately capitalized.
The OTS risk-based capital requirement requires savings associations to have
total capital of at least 8% of risk-weighted assets. Total capital consists of
core capital, as defined above, and supplementary capital. Supplementary capital
consists of selected items, such as certain permanent and maturing capital
instruments that do not qualify as core capital and allowances for loan and
lease losses up to a maximum of 1.25% of risk-weighted assets. Supplementary
capital may be used to satisfy the risk-based requirement only to the extent of
core capital. At June 30, 1999, the Bank had no capital instruments that qualify
as supplementary capital and had $3.1 million of allowances for loan and lease
losses, all of which was included since it was less than 1.25% of risk-weighted
assets.
Certain exclusions from capital and assets are required to be made for the
purpose of calculating total capital, in addition to the adjustments required
for calculating core capital. Such exclusions consist of equity investments (as
defined by regulation), that portion of land loans and nonresidential
construction loans in excess of an 80% loan-to-value ratio and reciprocal
holdings of qualifying capital instruments. At June 30, 1999, Penn Federal had
$50,000 of such exclusions from capital and assets.
In determining the amount of risk-weighted assets, all assets, including certain
off-balance sheet items, are multiplied by a risk weight, ranging from 0% to
100%, based on the risk inherent in the type of assets. For example, the OTS has
assigned a risk weight of 50% for prudently underwritten permanent one- to
four-family first lien mortgage loans not more than 90 days delinquent and
having a loan to value ratio of not more than 80% at origination unless insured
to such ratio by an insurer approved by Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae.
On June 30, 1999, Penn Federal had total risk-based capital of $125.0 million
(including $121.9 million in core capital and $3.1 million in allowable
supplementary capital) and risk-weighted assets of $767.2 million (including
$24.3 million in converted off-balance sheet assets) resulting in risk-based
capital of 16.29% of risk-weighted assets. This amount was $63.6 million above
the 8% requirement in effect on that date.
The federal banking agencies, including the OTS, have also adopted regulations
authorizing the agencies to require a depository institution to maintain
additional total capital to account for concentration of credit risk and the
risk of non-traditional activities.
The OTS and the FDIC are authorized and, under certain circumstances required,
to take certain actions against savings associations that fail to meet their
capital requirements. The OTS is generally required to take action to restrict
the activities of an "undercapitalized association" (generally defined to be one
with less than either a 4% core capital ratio, a 4% Tier 1 risked-based capital
ratio or an 8% risk-based capital ratio). Any such association must submit a
capital restoration plan and, until such plan is approved by the OTS, may not
increase its assets, acquire another institution, establish a branch or engage
in any new activities, and generally may not make capital distributions. The OTS
is authorized to impose the additional restrictions, discussed below, that are
applicable to significantly undercapitalized associations.
Any savings association that fails to comply with its capital plan or is
"significantly undercapitalized" (i.e., Tier 1 risk-based or core capital ratios
of less than 3% or a risk-based capital ratio of less than 6%) must be made
subject to one or more additional mandated specified actions and operating
restrictions, which may cover all aspects of its operations and include a forced
divestiture, merger or acquisition of the association. An association that
becomes "critically undercapitalized" (i.e., a ratio of tangible equity to total
assets of 2% or less) is subject to further mandatory restrictions on its
activities in addition to those applicable to significantly undercapitalized
associations.
Any undercapitalized association is also subject to actions by the general
enforcement authority of the OTS and the FDIC, including the appointment of a
conservator or a receiver. The OTS is also authorized to reclassify an
association into a lower capital category and impose the restrictions applicable
to such category if the institution is engaged in unsafe or unsound practices or
is in an unsafe or unsound condition.
The imposition by the OTS or the FDIC of any of these measures on Penn Federal
may have a substantial adverse effect on the Bank's operations and profitability
and the market value of PennFed's common stock. Stockholders do not have
preemptive rights, and therefore, if the Company is directed by the OTS or the
FDIC to issue additional shares of common stock, such issuance may result in the
dilution in the percentage of ownership of existing stockholders.
Limitations on Dividends and Other Capital Distributions
OTS regulations impose various restrictions or requirements on associations with
respect to their ability to pay dividends or make other distributions of
capital. OTS regulations prohibit an association from declaring or paying any
dividends or from repurchasing any of its stock if, as a result, the regulatory
capital of the association would be reduced below the association's minimum
capital requirements or the amount required to be maintained for the liquidation
account established in connection with the Conversion.
Generally, associations that before and after the proposed distribution meet
their fully phased-in capital requirements may make capital distributions during
any calendar year equal to 100% of net income for the year-to-date plus retained
net income for the two previous years without OTS approval. As a subsidiary of
PennFed, the Bank is required to give the OTS 30 days' notice prior to declaring
any dividend on its stock. The OTS may object to the distribution during that
30-day period based on safety and soundness concerns. See "-Regulatory Capital
Requirements."
Liquidity
All savings associations, including Penn Federal, are required to maintain an
average daily balance of liquid assets equal to a certain percentage of the sum
of its average daily balance of net withdrawable deposit accounts and borrowings
payable in one year or less. This liquid asset ratio requirement may vary from
time to time (between 4% and 10%) depending upon economic conditions and savings
flows of all savings associations. At the present time, the minimum liquid asset
ratio is 4%. Penalties may be imposed upon associations for violations of the
liquid asset ratio requirement. At June 30, 1999, Penn Federal was in compliance
with the requirement, with a liquidity ratio of 21.30%.
Accounting
An OTS policy statement applicable to all savings associations clarifies and
re-emphasizes that the investment activities of a savings association must be in
compliance with approved and documented investment policies and strategies, and
must be accounted for in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles ("GAAP"). Under the policy statement, management must support its
classification of and accounting for loans and securities (i.e., whether held
for investment, sale or trading) with appropriate documentation. Penn Federal is
in compliance with these policy statements.
The OTS has adopted an amendment to its accounting regulations, which may be
made more stringent than GAAP, to require that transactions be reported in a
manner that best reflects their underlying economic substance and inherent risk
and that financial reports must incorporate any other accounting regulations or
orders prescribed by the OTS.
Qualified Thrift Lender Test
All savings associations, including Penn Federal, are required to meet a
qualified thrift lender ("QTL") test to avoid certain restrictions on their
operations. This test requires a savings association to have at least 65% of its
portfolio assets (as defined by regulation) in qualified thrift investments on a
monthly average for nine out of every 12 months on a rolling basis. As an
alternative, the savings association may maintain 60% of its assets in those
assets specified in Section 7701(a)(19) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the "Code"). Under either test, such assets primarily consist of
residential housing related loans and investments. At June 30, 1999, the Bank
met the QTL test and has always met the test since its effective date.
Any savings association that fails to meet the QTL test must convert to a
national bank charter, unless it requalifies as a QTL and thereafter remains a
QTL. If an association does not requalify and converts to a national bank
charter, it must remain SAIF-insured until the FDIC permits it to transfer to
the BIF. If such an association has not yet requalified or converted to a
national bank, its new investments and activities are limited to those
permissible for both a savings association and a national bank, and it is
limited to national bank branching rights in its home state. In addition, the
association is immediately ineligible to receive any new FHLB of New York
borrowings and is subject to national bank limits for payment of dividends. If
such association has not requalified or converted to a national bank within
three years after the failure, it must divest itself of all investments and
cease all activities not permissible for a national bank. In addition, it must
repay promptly any outstanding FHLB of New York borrowings, which may result in
prepayment penalties. If any association that fails the QTL test is controlled
by a holding company, then within one year after the failure, the holding
company must register as a bank holding company and become subject to all
restrictions on bank holding companies. See "-Holding Company Regulation."
Community Reinvestment Act
Under the Community Reinvestment Act ("CRA"), every FDIC insured institution has
a continuing and affirmative obligation consistent with safe and sound banking
practices to help meet the credit needs of its entire community, including low
and moderate income neighborhoods. The CRA does not establish specific lending
requirements or programs for financial institutions nor does it limit an
institution's discretion to develop the types of products and services that it
believes are best suited to its particular community, consistent with CRA. The
CRA requires the OTS, in connection with the examination of Penn Federal, to
assess the institution's record of meeting the credit needs of its community and
to take such record into account in its evaluation of certain applications, such
as a merger or the establishment of a branch, by Penn Federal. An unsatisfactory
rating may be used as the basis for the denial of an application by the OTS.
Due to the heightened attention being given to the CRA in recent years, the Bank
may be required to devote additional funds for investment and lending in its
local community. The Bank was examined for CRA compliance in February 1999 and
received a rating of outstanding.
Transactions with Affiliates
Generally, transactions between a savings association or its subsidiaries and
its affiliates are required to be on terms as favorable to the association as
transactions with non-affiliates. In addition, certain of these transactions,
such as loans to affiliates, are restricted to a percentage of the association's
capital. Affiliates of Penn Federal include PennFed and any company which is
under common control with the Bank. In addition, a savings association may not
lend to any affiliate engaged in activities not permissible for a bank holding
company or acquire the securities of most affiliates. Penn Federal's
subsidiaries are not deemed affiliates; however, the OTS has the discretion to
treat subsidiaries of savings associations as affiliates on a case-by-case
basis.
Certain transactions with directors, officers or controlling persons are also
subject to conflict of interest regulations enforced by the OTS. These conflict
of interest regulations and other statutes also impose restrictions on loans to
such persons and their related interests. Among other things, such loans must be
made on terms substantially the same as for loans to unaffiliated individuals.
Holding Company Regulation
PennFed is a unitary savings and loan holding company subject to regulatory
oversight by the OTS. As such, PennFed is required to register and file reports
with the OTS and is subject to regulation and examination by the OTS. In
addition, the OTS has enforcement authority over PennFed, which also permits the
OTS to restrict or prohibit activities that are determined to be a serious risk
to the subsidiary savings association.
PennFed must obtain approval from the OTS before acquiring control of any other
SAIF-insured association. Such acquisitions are generally prohibited if they
result in a multiple savings and loan holding company controlling savings
associations in more than one state. However, such interstate acquisitions are
permitted based on specific state authorization or in a supervisory acquisition
of a failing savings association.
Federal Securities Law
The common stock of PennFed is registered with the SEC under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). PennFed is subject to the
information, proxy solicitation, insider trading restrictions and other
requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC
thereunder.
PennFed stock held by persons who are affiliates (generally executive officers,
directors and principal stockholders) of PennFed may not be resold without
registration or unless sold in accordance with certain resale restrictions. If
PennFed meets specified current public information requirements, each affiliate
of PennFed is able to sell in the public market, without registration, a limited
number of shares in any three-month period.
Federal Reserve System
The Federal Reserve Board requires all depository institutions to maintain
non-interest bearing reserves at specified levels against their transaction
accounts (primarily checking accounts). At June 30, 1999, Penn Federal was in
compliance with these reserve requirements. The balances maintained to meet the
reserve requirements imposed by the Federal Reserve Board may be used to satisfy
liquidity requirements that may be imposed by the OTS.
See "-Liquidity."
Savings associations are authorized to borrow from the Federal Reserve Bank
"discount window," but Federal Reserve Board regulations require associations to
exhaust other reasonable alternative sources of funds, including FHLB
borrowings, before borrowing from the Federal Reserve Bank.
Federal Home Loan Bank System
Penn Federal is a member of the FHLB of New York, which is one of 12 regional
FHLBs that provides loans and correspondent services to its members. Each FHLB
serves as a reserve or central bank for its members within its assigned region.
It is funded primarily from proceeds derived from the sale of consolidated
obligations of the FHLB System. It makes loans to members (i.e., advances) in
accordance with policies and procedures established by the board of directors of
the FHLB, which are subject to the oversight of the Federal Housing Finance
Board. All borrowings from the FHLB are required to be fully secured by
sufficient collateral as determined by the FHLB.
As a member, Penn Federal is required to purchase and maintain stock in the FHLB
of New York. At June 30, 1999, the Bank had $16.6 million in FHLB of New York
stock, which was in compliance with this requirement. In past years, Penn
Federal has received substantial dividends on its FHLB of New York stock. Over
the past five fiscal years such dividends have averaged 6.93%.
For the year ended June 30, 1999, dividends paid by the FHLB of New York to Penn
Federal totaled $1,124,000, resulting in a 6.90% yield.
Federal and State Taxation
In addition to the regular income tax, corporations, including savings
associations such as the Bank, generally are subject to a minimum tax. An
alternative minimum tax is imposed at a minimum tax rate of 20% on alternative
minimum taxable income, which is the sum of a corporation's regular taxable
income (with certain adjustments) and tax preference items, less any available
exemption. The alternative minimum tax is imposed to the extent it exceeds the
corporation's regular income tax. Net operating losses can offset no more than
90% of alternative minimum taxable income.
PennFed files consolidated federal income tax returns with the Bank and its
subsidiaries.
To the extent a savings association makes "non-dividend distributions," such
distributions will be considered to have been made from the association's tax
bad debt reserves (including the base year reserve) and then from the
association's supplemental reserve for losses on loans, to the extent thereof,
and an amount based on the amount distributed (but not in excess of the amount
of such reserves) will be included in the association's income. Non-dividend
distributions include distributions in excess of the association's current and
accumulated earnings and profits, as calculated for federal income tax purposes,
distributions in redemption of stock, and distributions in partial or complete
liquidation. Dividends paid out of the association's current or accumulated
earnings and profits will not be so included in the association's income.
The amount of additional taxable income created from a non-dividend distribution
is an amount that, when reduced by the tax attributable to the income, is equal
to the amount of the distribution. Thus, if the Bank makes a non-dividend
distribution to the Company, approximately one and one-half times the amount of
such distribution (but not in excess of the amount of such reserves) would be
includable in income for federal income tax purposes, assuming a 35% federal
corporate tax rate. The Bank does not intend to pay dividends that would result
in a recapture of any portion of its tax bad debt reserves.
The Bank and its consolidated subsidiary have been audited by the Internal
Revenue Service ("IRS") with respect to consolidated federal income tax returns
through December 31, 1991. There were no material adjustments made to taxable
income as originally reported to the IRS. In the opinion of management, any
examination of still open returns (including returns of subsidiaries and
predecessors of, or entities merged into, PennFed) would not result in a
deficiency which could have a material adverse effect on the financial condition
of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries.
New Jersey Taxation. The Bank is taxed under the New Jersey Savings Institution
Tax Act. The tax is an annual privilege tax imposed at a rate of 3% on the net
income of the Bank as reported for federal income tax purposes, with certain
modifications. PennFed is taxed under the New Jersey Corporation Business Tax
Act, and if it meets certain tests, will be taxed as an investment company at an
effective annual rate for the taxable year ending June 30, 1999 of 2.3% of New
Jersey Taxable Income (as defined). If it fails to meet such tests, it will be
taxed at an annual rate of 9% of New Jersey Taxable Income. It is anticipated,
based upon representations of PennFed regarding its current and future holdings
and operations, that PennFed will be taxed as an investment company. Penn
Savings Insurance Agency is taxed under the New Jersey Corporation Business Tax
Act and is, therefore, taxed at a rate of 9%.
Delaware Taxation. PennFed, as a Delaware holding company, and Ferry Development
Holding Company ("FDHC"), a Delaware investment company, are exempt from
Delaware corporate income tax, but are required to file an annual report with
and pay an annual fee to the State of Delaware. PennFed and FDHC are also
subject to an annual franchise tax imposed by the State of Delaware. As a
Delaware business trust, PennFed Capital Trust I is not required to pay income
or franchise taxes to the State of Delaware.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings
The Company is involved from time to time as plaintiff or defendant in various
legal actions arising in the normal course of its business. While the ultimate
outcome of these proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, it is the
opinion of management at the present time, after consultation with counsel
representing the Company in the proceedings, that the resolution of these
proceedings should not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated
financial position or results of operations.
In 1987, the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection ("NJDEP")
conducted an environment contamination investigation of the Orange Road branch
site of First Federal Savings and Loan Association of Montclair ("First
Federal"). Prior to the acquisition by First Federal, the location was used as a
gasoline service station. On August 16, 1989, the NJDEP issued a "no further
action" letter to First Federal with regard to this site. The Bank acquired
First Federal effective September 11, 1989. Notwithstanding the earlier "no
further action" letter, on June 25, 1997, the NJDEP issued a letter demanding
that Penn Federal Savings Bank develop a remedial action work plan for the
Orange Road branch site as a result of an investigation conducted on behalf of
an adjacent property owner. The Bank disputed the NJDEP position that Penn
Federal Savings Bank was a responsible party. On July 1, 1998, the NJDEP issued
a letter determining that Penn Federal Savings Bank, Mobil Oil Corporation and
the former gasoline service station owner were all responsible parties for the
clean up at the subject site. Responsible parties may ultimately have full or
partial obligation for the cost of remediation. As of this date, the
apportionment of the remediation costs to the Bank, if any, is not determinable.
The Bank intends to vigorously contest this determination and to seek
contribution or indemnification from the other named responsible parties.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
No matter was submitted to a vote of security holders, through the solicitation
of proxies or otherwise, during the quarter ended June 30, 1999.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
General
In July 1994, PennFed became the savings and loan holding company of the Bank.
Currently, the results of operations of the Company are primarily those of the
Bank and its subsidiaries and the Trust.
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. Results of operations are also
affected by the Company's provision for loan losses and operating expenses.
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 law, regulations or government policies may also have a material
impact on the Company.
Management Strategy
Management's primary goal continues to be to improve profitability, while
continuing to manage risks, including interest rate risk, so as to enhance
stockholder value, and to foster and maintain customer confidence. The Company's
current strategies focus on: (i) emphasizing lending secured by one- to
four-family residential first mortgages, (ii) increasing the commercial and
multi-family and consumer loan portfolios, (iii) maintaining asset quality, (iv)
increasing core deposit balances, (v) managing the Company's exposure to
interest rate risk, (vi) improving non-interest income and (vii) controlling
non-interest expenses.
Emphasizing Lending Secured by One- to Four-Family Residential First Mortgages.
The Company will continue to emphasize originating and purchasing traditional
one- to four-family first mortgage loans secured by properties located in New
Jersey. The Company originated or purchased $326.7 million, $373.6 million and
$337.3 million in one- to four-family mortgage loans in fiscal 1999, 1998 and
1997, respectively. The Company's interest income has been derived primarily
from one- to four-family mortgage loans on residential real estate which totaled
$915.2 million or 86.15% of the Company's gross loan portfolio at June 30, 1999.
During fiscal 1999, in an effort to mitigate the effects of low interest rates
and a flat yield curve, the Company sold approximately $150.5 million of
low-coupon, longer duration one- to four-family mortgage loans. In periods of a
higher interest rate and steeper yield curve environment, such as the beginning
of fiscal 2000, loan sale activity is expected to be reduced. The level of such
activity will continue to be evaluated with primary consideration given to
interest rate risk and long-term profitability objectives.
Increasing the Commercial and Multi-Family and Consumer Loan Portfolios. In
addition to one- to four-family residential first mortgage lending, the Company
plans to continue its emphasis on commercial and multi-family and consumer
lending. Such loans reprice more frequently, have shorter maturities, and/or
have higher yields than one-to four-family first mortgage loans. The Company
originated $75.5 million, $56.5 million and $31.7 million of commercial and
multi-family and consumer loans in fiscal 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
Maintaining Asset Quality. The Company's loan portfolio consists primarily of
one- to four-family mortgages, which are considered to have less risk than
commercial and multi-family real estate or consumer loans.
The Company's non-performing assets consist of non-accruing loans and real
estate owned. The Company focuses on strong underwriting and collection efforts
and aggressive marketing of real estate owned properties. In addition, the
Company has occasionally restructured loans in order to return the loan to a
performing status. As a result, non-performing assets as a percentage of total
assets was 0.30% at June 30, 1999.
Increasing Core Deposit Balances. The Company's primary source of funds is
deposits. The Company will continue to emphasize growth in lower costing core
deposits, primarily checking deposits. Checking deposits increased $16.9
million, or 21.34%, in fiscal 1999 and $12.2 million, or 18.26%, in fiscal 1998.
Managing the Company's Exposure to Interest Rate Risk. The Company has an
asset/liability committee that meets no less than weekly to price loan and
deposit products and monthly to develop, implement and review strategies and
policies to manage interest rate risk. The Company has endeavored to manage its
interest rate risk through the pricing and diversification of its loan and
deposit products, including the focus on the origination and purchase of first
mortgage products with shorter terms to maturity and/or with adjustable rate
features, as well as the origination of commercial and multi-family real estate
and consumer loans which generally have shorter expected average lives or
reprice at shorter intervals than one- to four-family residential first mortgage
products. The Company has also engaged in one- to four-family whole mortgage
loan sales whereby longer-term fixed rate conventional loans have been sold to
reduce the duration of its fixed rate loan portfolios. In addition, the Company
has purchased government agency or callable securities with short to
intermediate average lives or which have adjustable rate features. Furthermore,
as part of its interest rate risk strategy, the Company has emphasized longer
term certificates of deposit and checking products and utilized
intermediate-term borrowings. The Company has also periodically engaged in
intermediate-term interest rate swaps designed to extend the maturities of
short-term certificates of deposit to three to five years. See "-Interest Rate
Sensitivity Analysis" and "-Asset/Liability Strategy."
Improving Non-Interest Income. The Company continues to seek additional ways of
improving non-interest income. Total service charges and other non-interest
income, excluding the net gain on sales of loans and real estate operations,
reflected a $386,000, or 16.8%, increase for fiscal 1999 compared to fiscal
1998, due to growth in checking accounts and earnings from the Bank's Investment
Services at Penn Federal program. The program gives customers convenient access
to financial consulting/advisory services and related uninsured non-deposit
investment and insurance products at local branch offices.
Controlling Non-Interest Expenses. Non-interest expenses are carefully
monitored, which include ongoing reviews of staffing levels, facilities and
operations. The Company's ratio of non-interest expenses to average total assets
was 1.20% for the year ended June 30, 1999.
Interest Rate Sensitivity Analysis
Interest Rate Gap. The interest rate risk inherent in assets and liabilities may
be determined by analyzing the extent to which such assets and liabilities are
"interest rate sensitive" and by measuring an institution's interest rate
sensitivity "gap." An asset or liability is said to be interest rate sensitive
within a defined time period if it matures or reprices within that period. The
difference or mismatch between the amount of interest-earning assets maturing or
repricing within a defined period and the amount of interest-bearing liabilities
maturing or repricing within the same period is defined as the interest rate
sensitivity gap. An institution is considered to have a negative gap if the
amount of interest-bearing liabilities maturing or repricing within a specified
time period exceeds the amount of interest-earning assets maturing or repricing
within the same period. If more interest-earning assets than interest-bearing
liabilities mature or reprice within a specified period, then the institution is
considered to have a positive gap. Accordingly, in a rising interest rate
environment, in an institution with a negative gap, the cost of its rate
sensitive liabilities would theoretically rise at a faster pace than the yield
on its rate sensitive assets, thereby diminishing future net interest income. In
a falling interest rate environment, a negative gap would indicate that the cost
of rate sensitive liabilities would decline at a faster pace than the yield on
rate sensitive assets and improve net interest income. For an institution with a
positive gap, the reverse would be expected.
In an attempt to manage its exposure to changes in interest rates, management
closely monitors the Company's exposure to interest rate risk. Management
maintains an asset/liability committee consisting of the Chief Executive
Officer, the Chief Operating Officer, the Chief Financial Officer, the Lending
Group Executive, the Retail Banking Group Executive, the Treasurer and the
Customer Support/Operations Group Executive, which meets regularly and reviews
the Company's interest rate risk position and makes recommendations for
adjusting this position. In addition, the Board reviews on a monthly basis the
Company's asset/liability position, including simulations of the effect on the
Company's capital and earnings of various interest rate scenarios and
operational strategies.
The following table provides information about the Company's derivative
financial instruments and other financial instruments that are sensitive to
changes in interest rates, including interest rate swaps. Except for the effects
of prepayments and scheduled principal amortization on mortgage related assets,
the table presents principal cash flows and related weighted average interest
rates by the earlier of term to repricing or contractual term to maturity.
Callable government agency securities are assumed to be called within one year
if their stated interest rates are at or above current market rates. If the
stated interest rate is below current market rates, these callable securities
are assumed to be called at an estimated average life of approximately 3.5
years. For interest rate swaps, the table presents notional amounts and weighted
average interest rates by call date or contractual maturity date.
Residential fixed and adjustable rate loans are assumed to prepay at an
annualized rate between 10% and 18%. Commercial and multi-family real estate
loans are assumed to prepay at an annualized rate between 9% and 38% while
consumer loans are assumed to prepay at a 34% rate. Fixed and adjustable rate
mortgage-backed securities have annual payment assumptions ranging from 21% to
33%. Demand loans and loans which have no repayment schedule or stated final
maturity, are assumed to be due within six months. Loan and mortgage-backed
securities balances are net of non-performing loans and are not adjusted for
unearned discounts, premiums, and deferred loan fees.
The Company assumes, based on historical information, that $131.9 million or 80%
of savings accounts at June 30, 1999, are core deposits and are, therefore,
expected to roll-off after five years. The remaining savings accounts are
assumed to roll-off over the first eighteen months. Transaction accounts,
excluding money market accounts, are assumed to roll-off after five years. Money
market accounts are assumed to be variable accounts and are reported as
repricing within six months. No roll-off rate is applied to certificates of
deposit. Fixed maturity deposits reprice at maturity.

At June 30, 1999, the Company's total deposits, borrowings and Trust Preferred
securities maturing or repricing within one year exceeded its total
interest-earning assets maturing or repricing within one year by $212.1 million,
representing a one year negative gap of 13.61% of total assets, compared to a
one year negative gap of 7.28% of total assets at June 30, 1998. See "-
Asset/Liability Strategy." The Company's negative gap position widened from June
30, 1998 as a result of a recent rise in market rates and a steeper Treasury
yield curve than was present at the end of fiscal 1998. Throughout most of
fiscal 1999, a historically flat yield curve and low market rates supported
strong residential lending activity that was primarily focused on long-term,
fixed rate products. High levels of prepayments accompanied the low market rates
and asset cashflows remained robust. To mitigate the negative impact such
lending activity had on interest rate risk, the Company periodically sold newly
originated, low-coupon fixed rate loans into the secondary market. Proceeds from
such sales were partially reinvested in callable government agency securities
with final maturities of 15 years or less, but initially callable within one
year and periodically thereafter, and partially to reduce borrowings. Growth in
short-term certificates of deposit outpaced activity in intermediate-term
products as depositors were generally unwilling to invest in longer-term
products in the flat interest rate environment. At June 30, 1999, market rates
were higher and the Treasury yield curve was steeper than was seen previously in
fiscal 1999. As a result, prepayment expectations have declined and asset cash
flows have lengthened. In addition, the majority of the Company's callable
agency security portfolio, previously assumed to be called within one year, has
been extended to its average life.
In evaluating the Company's exposure to interest rate risk, certain limitations
inherent in the method of analysis presented in the foregoing table 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 table. 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 also regularly
monitored by management through selected 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 low initial NPV ratio or 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. A NPV ratio, in any interest rate scenario, is
defined as the NPV in that rate scenario divided by the market value of assets
in the same scenario.
As of June 30, 1999, the Bank's internally generated initial NPV ratio was
9.81%. 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 2.51%. Though NPV is "measured" on an unconsolidated basis for regulatory
purposes, it is managed on a consolidated basis. As of June 30, 1999, the
Company's initial NPV ratio was 10.22%, the Post-Shock ratio was 7.65%, and the
Sensitivity Measure was 2.57%. 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 and, as such, generally result in lower levels
of presumed interest rate risk (i.e., higher Post-Shock NPV ratio and lower
Sensitivity Measure) than OTS measurements indicate.
The OTS measures the Bank's (unconsolidated) IRR on a quarterly basis using data
from the quarterly Thrift Financial Reports, coupled with non-institution
specific assumptions which are based on national averages. As of June 30, 1999,
the Bank's initial NPV ratio, as measured by the OTS, was 8.01%, the Bank's
Post-Shock ratio was 4.96% and the Sensitivity Measure was 3.05%. At June 30,
1998, the Bank's initial NPV ratio, as measured by the OTS, was 8.03%, the
Post-Shock ratio was 6.02% and the Sensitivity Measure was 2.01%.
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 June 30, 1999, based on its internally generated simulation models, the
Company's consolidated net interest income projected for one year forward would
decrease 8.8% from the base case, or current market, as a result of an immediate
and sustained 2% increase in interest rates.
Asset/Liability Strategy
The primary elements of the Company's asset/liability strategy include the
following:
1. The Company has focused on shortening the average life and duration of its
portfolio of one- to four-family mortgage loans by promoting one year adjustable
rate products, with initial fixed rate terms of 1, 3 and 5 years, 15 and 30 year
bi-weekly mortgages and fixed rate products with terms of 10, 15 and 20 years.
2. The Company has emphasized the origination of variable rate home equity lines
and fixed rate second mortgage loans as well as variable and fixed rate
commercial and multi-family real estate loans having maturities or terms to
repricing significantly shorter than one- to four-family residential mortgage
loans.
3. The Company has periodically and, during fiscal 1999 more routinely, sold a
portion of its one- to four-family whole mortgage loan portfolio in an effort to
shorten the average life and duration, as well as to mitigate prepayment risk
and reduce borrowings. $150 million of such loans were sold in fiscal 1999. The
level of such activity will continue to be evaluated with primary consideration
given to interest rate risk and long-term profitability objectives. In periods
of a higher interest rate and steeper yield curve environment, loan sale
activity is expected to be reduced.
4. The Company has purchased government agency guaranteed investments with final
maturities within 15 years which are initially callable within one year and
periodically thereafter. Such investments are expected to be called prior to
their final maturities. The Company may continue to purchase such investments,
as well as government agency guaranteed mortgage-backed securities when yield
and duration analysis point to such purchases as favarable vehicles in managing
interest rate risk.
5. The Company has emphasized the lengthening of maturities of its liabilities
through its pricing of longer-term certificates of deposit and by utilizing
intermediate- and longer-term borrowings and interest rate swaps, subject to
market conditions.
6.The Company has also emphasized growth in core deposit accounts as such funds
are lower cost alternatives, are relatively stable and, thus, have a longer
duration and assist in strengthening customer relationships.
During fiscal 1999, each of the strategies noted above was employed to reduce
the Company's sensitivity to changes in interest rates. Periodic one- to
four-family loan sales coupled with lower market rates, increased prepayments
and a flat Treasury yield curve resulted in a 5.8% decline in one- to
four-family first mortgage loans between June 30, 1998 and June 30, 1999.
Despite the sale of $137.7 million of fixed rate one- to four-family first
mortgage loans, such balances increased $30.2 million in fiscal 1999. Adjustable
rate one- to four-family first mortgage loan balances declined $86.6 million in
fiscal 1999, despite the origination and purchase of $53.6 million of adjustable
rate loans. Commercial and multi-family real estate loans increased $8.8 million
from June 30, 1998; fixed rate loans declined 30.3%, while adjustable rate loans
increased 29.3%. Consumer loan balances increased $18.5 million or 34.1% in
fiscal 1999. Approximately 50% of the growth in consumer loans occurred in
prime-based home equity lines of credit, while the remainder occurred in
products of significantly shorter duration than one- to four-family residential
mortgages.
Additionally, medium and long-term funds increased $52 million from June 30,
1998, while short-term funds decreased $46.3 million. This shift was supported
through the use of interest rate swaps, designed to synthetically lengthen the
maturities of short-term deposits, as well as growth in demand deposit accounts,
FHLB of New York advances and other borrowings.
Generally, the investment policy of the Company is to invest funds not utilized
in its lending activities or required for other corporate purposes among various
categories of investments and maturities based upon the Company's
asset/liability management policies. Investments generally include U.S. Treasury
and government agency securities and mortgage-backed securities.
The Company's cost of funds responds more rapidly to changes in interest rates
than its yield on earning assets due to the shorter terms of its funding
portfolios. Consequently, the results of operations are influenced by the levels
of short-term interest rates. The Company offers a range of maturities on its
deposit products at competitive rates and monitors the maturities on an ongoing
basis.
Additionally, the Company emphasizes and promotes its savings, money market and
demand deposit accounts, and certificates of deposit with varying maturities
through five years, principally within its primary market areas. The balances of
savings, money market and demand deposit accounts, which represented
approximately 26.0% of total deposits at June 30, 1999, tend to be less
susceptible to rapid changes in interest rates than certificates of deposit
balances.
Management will continue to monitor and employ such strategies, as necessary, in
conjunction with its overall strategic objectives.

Financial Condition
Comparison of Financial Condition at June 30, 1999 and June 30, 1998
Total assets at June 30, 1999 of $1.6 billion were relatively unchanged from
June 30, 1998. Loan originations and purchases were more than offset by
principal repayments and sales of one- to four-family first mortgage loans. The
Company actively employed a loan sale strategy during fiscal 1999 to mitigate
the effects of low interest rates and a flat yield curve. A $115.0 million
increase in investment securities was partially offset by a $76.5 million
decrease in mortgage-backed securities.
Deposits increased $35.5 million to $1.064 billion at June 30, 1999 from $1.028
billion at June 30, 1998. The Company's focus on lower costing deposits resulted
in a $16.6 million, or 6.5%, increase in core deposits (i.e. demand, money
market and savings). The remaining increase in deposits was modest and reflected
the Company's reduced funding needs due to the fiscal 1999 loan sale strategy.
FHLB of New York advances and other borrowings totaled $333.2 million at June
30, 1999, a $28.8 million decrease from $362.0 million at June 30,1998.
Non-performing assets at June 30, 1999 totaled $4.6 million, representing 0.30%
of total assets, compared to $5.4 million, or 0.35% of total assets, at June 30,
1998. Non-accruing loans were $3.7 million with a ratio of non-performing loans
to total loans of 0.34% at June 30, 1999 and June 30, 1998. Real estate owned
decreased to $936,000 at June 30, 1999 from $1.6 million at June 30, 1998.
Stockholders' equity at June 30, 1999 totaled $107.5 million compared to $103.7
million at June 30, 1998. The increase primarily reflects the net income
recorded for the year ended June 30, 1999, partially offset by the repurchase of
618,000 shares of the Company's outstanding stock at an average market price of
$14.12 per share and the declaration of dividends.
Results of Operations
Comparison of Operating Results for the Years Ended June 30, 1999 and June 30,
1998
General. For the year ended June 30, 1999, net income was $11.5 million, or
$1.29 per diluted share, compared to net income of $11.2 million, or $1.16 per
diluted share, for the year ended June 30, 1998.
Interest and Dividend Income. Interest and dividend income for the year ended
June 30, 1999 increased to $105.6 million from $100.8 million for the year ended
June 30, 1998. The increase in the year ended June 30, 1999 was due to an
increase in average interest-earning assets, partially offset by a decrease in
the average yield earned on interest-earning assets. Average interest-earning
assets were $1.5 billion for the year ended June 30, 1999 compared to $1.4
billion for the prior fiscal year. The average yield on interest-earning assets
decreased to 7.03% for the year ended June 30, 1999 from 7.32% for the year
ended June 30, 1998.
Interest income on residential one- to four-family mortgage loans for the year
ended June 30, 1999 increased $2.9 million when compared to the prior fiscal
year. The increase in interest income on residential one- to four-family
mortgage loans was due to an increase of $81.8 million in the average balance
outstanding for the year ended June 30, 1999 over the prior fiscal year. The
increase in the average balance on residential one- to four-family mortgage
loans was partially offset by a decrease of 31 basis points in the average yield
earned on this loan portfolio to 6.98% for the year ended June 30, 1999 from
7.29% for the prior fiscal year.
Interest income on investment securities increased $6.5 million for the year
ended June 30, 1999 from the prior fiscal year. The increase was primarily due
to a $100.3 million increase in the average balance outstanding for fiscal 1999
compared to fiscal 1998. The increase in the average balance on investment
securities was partially offset by a 35 basis point decrease in the average
yield earned on these securities for the year ended June 30, 1999 when compared
to the prior year.
Interest income on the mortgage-backed securities portfolio for the year ended
June 30, 1999 decreased $6.3 million when compared to the prior year. The
decrease in interest income on mortgage-backed securities primarily reflects an
$87.1 million decrease in the average balance outstanding for fiscal 1999
compared to the prior year.
Interest Expense. Interest expense increased $3.9 million for the year ended
June 30, 1999 from $68.0 million for fiscal 1998. The increase was attributable
to an increase in total average deposits, borrowings and Trust Preferred
securities, partially offset by a decrease in the Company's cost of funds.
Average deposits, borrowings and Trust Preferred securities increased $123.2
million for the year ended June 30, 1999 compared to the 1998 period. The
average rate paid on deposits, borrowings and Trust Preferred securities
decreased to 5.02% for the year ended June 30, 1999 from 5.20% for the prior
fiscal year. The average balance and interest expense for the year ended June
30, 1998 only included the Trust Preferred securities since their issuance date
in October 1997. Trust Preferred securities had an average balance of $32.7
million for the year ended June 30, 1999 compared to $22.7 million for the prior
year.
Net Interest and Dividend Income. Net interest and dividend income for the year
ended June 30, 1999 was $33.6 million, reflecting an increase from $32.8 million
recorded in the prior fiscal year. The increase reflects the Company's growth in
average assets, primarily in investment securities and loans receivable. The
increase in net interest and dividend income was partially offset by a decline
in the net interest rate spread. The net interest rate spread and net interest
margin for the year ended June 30, 1999 were 2.01% and 2.24%, respectively, a
decline from 2.12% and 2.38%, respectively, for the year ended June 30, 1998.
For the year ended June 30, 1999, the declines in the net interest rate spread
and net interest margin were partially due to the issuance of the Trust
Preferred securities. The declines in the net interest rate spread and net
interest margin were also attributable to the relatively flat yield curve
environment experienced during fiscal 1999 in which higher yielding assets
pre-paid at accelerated rates and were replaced by lower yielding assets. Since
the Company's liabilities generally reprice more quickly than its assets,
interest margins will likely decrease if interest rates rise.
Provision for Loan Losses. The provision for loan losses for the year ended June
30, 1999 was $780,000 compared to $600,000 for the prior fiscal year. The
allowance for loan losses at June 30, 1999 of $3.2 million reflects a $433,000
increase from the June 30, 1998 level. The allowance for loan losses as a
percentage of non-performing loans was 87.44% at June 30, 1999, compared to
74.18% at June 30, 1998. The increase is principally attributable to a decline
in the Company's non-performing loans. The allowance for loan losses as a
percentage of total loans at June 30, 1999 was 0.30%.
Non-Interest Income. For the year ended June 30, 1999, non-interest income was
$3.5 million compared to $2.7 million for the prior fiscal year. Service charge
income increased to $2.1 million for the year ended June 30, 1999 versus $2.0
million for the comparable prior year. The net gain from real estate operations
was $31,000 for the year ended June 30, 1999. This compares to a net loss of
$156,000 for the year ended June 30, 1998. A net gain on sales of loans of
$860,000 was recorded for the year ended June 30,1999. Low-coupon, longer
duration one- to four-family residential mortgage loans totaling $150.5 million
were sold in the secondary market during the year ended June 30, 1999. Gains of
approximately $494,000 on sales of $70 million of one- to four-family mortgage
loans were reflected in the year ended June 30, 1998. The prior year loan sales
were undertaken to manage prepayment risk as part of the Company's
asset/liability management strategy. Recurring loan sales in the current fiscal
year were undertaken to mitigate the effects of low interest rates and a flat
yield curve. Future gains are expected to fluctuate depending on the level of
loan sale activity. A $221,000 improvement in other non-interest income
reflected increases due to earnings from the Investment Services at Penn Federal
Savings Bank program. Through this program, customers have convenient access to
financial consulting/advisory services and related non-deposit investment
products at local branch offices.
Non-Interest Expenses. The Company's non-interest expenses were $18.6 million
for the year ended June 30, 1999 compared to $17.4 million for the prior year.
Non-interest expenses have increased to support the Company's increased lending
volumes and the new Bayville, Toms River and Livingston branches which opened in
October 1997, February 1999 and June 1999, respectively. Nevertheless, the
Company's non-interest expenses as a percent of average assets declined slightly
to 1.20% for the year ended June 30, 1999 compared to 1.22% for the prior year.
Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense for the year ended June 30, 1999 was $6.3
million compared to $6.2 million for the prior fiscal year. The effective tax
rate was 35.5% for the year ended June 30, 1999 compared to 35.8% for the year
ended June 30, 1998.
Comparison of Operating Results for the Years Ended June 30, 1998 and June 30,
1997
General. For the year ended June 30, 1998 net income was $11.2 million, or $1.16
per diluted share, as compared to net income of $6.9 million, or $0.73 per
diluted share for the prior year. The year ended June 30, 1997 included the
effects of the one-time SAIF recapitalization assessment which totaled $4.8
million ($3.1 million after-tax), or $0.33 per share on a diluted basis.
Interest and Dividend Income. Interest and dividend income for the year ended
June 30, 1998 increased to $100.8 million from $85.4 million for the year ended
June 30, 1997. The increase in fiscal 1998 was due to an increase in average
interest-earning assets, primarily residential loans, partially offset by a
decrease in the average yield earned on interest-earning assets. Average
interest-earning assets were $1.377 billion for the year ended June 30, 1998
compared to $1.144 billion for the prior year. The average yield earned on
interest-earning assets decreased to 7.32% for the year ended June 30, 1998 from
7.47% for the year ended June 30, 1997.
Interest income on residential one- to four-family mortgage loans for the year
ended June 30, 1998 increased $11.3 million, or 21.1%, when compared to the
prior year. The increase in interest income on residential one- to four-family
mortgage loans was due to a $175.9 million increase in the average balance
outstanding to $889.2 million for the year ended June 30, 1998 compared to
$713.3 million for the prior year. The increase in the average balance on
residential one- to four-family mortgage loans was partially offset by a
decrease of 0.22% in the average yield earned on this loan portfolio to 7.29%
for the year ended June 30, 1998 from 7.51% for the prior year.
Interest on investment securities increased $8.2 million for the year ended June
30, 1998 from the prior year. The increase was primarily due to a $112.0 million
increase in the average balance outstanding and a 0.22% increase in the average
yield earned on these assets for the year ended June 30, 1998.
Interest income on the mortgage-backed securities portfolio decreased $4.9
million, or 22.1%, for the year ended June 30, 1998 as compared to the prior
year. The decrease in interest income on mortgage-backed securities primarily
reflects a $68.6 million decrease in the average balance outstanding to $248.8
million for the year ended June 30, 1998 compared to $317.4 million for the
prior year.
Interest Expense. Interest expense increased $15.0 million for the year ended
June 30, 1998 from $53.1 million for the year ended June 30, 1997. The increase
was primarily attributable to an increase in total average deposits, primarily
certificates of deposit, and FHLB of New York advances coupled with an increase
in the Company's cost of funds. Interest expense also increased due to the
issuance of the Trust Preferred securities. Average deposits and borrowings
increased $199.6 million for the year ended June 30, 1998 compared to fiscal
1997. The average rate paid on deposits, borrowings and Trust Preferred
securities increased to 5.20% for the year ended June 30, 1998 from 4.89% for
the prior year.
Net Interest and Dividend Income. Net interest and dividend income for the year
ended June 30, 1998 was $32.8 million, reflecting a slight increase from $32.3
million recorded in the prior year. The increase reflects the Company's growth
in assets, primarily in investment securities and residential one- to
four-family mortgage loans. The increase in net interest and dividend income was
partially offset by a decline in the net interest rate spread as well as timing
differences between the receipt of the proceeds from the Trust Preferred
securities offering and full implementation of the Company's investment
strategy. The net interest rate spread and net interest margin for the year
ended June 30, 1998 were 2.12% and 2.38%, respectively, a decline from 2.58% and
2.83%, respectively, during the prior year. For the year ended June 30, 1998,
the declines in net interest rate spread and net interest margin were partially
due to the addition of the Trust Preferred securities. The declines in the net
interest rate spread and net interest margin were also attributable to the flat
yield curve environment experienced in which higher yielding loans pre-paid at
accelerated rates and were replaced by lower yielding loans.
Provision for Loan Losses. The provision for loan losses for the year ended June
30, 1998 was $600,000 compared to $635,000 for the prior year. The allowance for
loan losses at June 30, 1998 of $2.8 million showed an increase from the $2.6
million at June 30, 1997. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of
non-performing loans was 74.18% at June 30, 1998, compared to 47.80% at June 30,
1997.
Non-Interest Income. For the year ended June 30, 1998, non-interest income was
$2.7 million compared to $1.8 million for the prior year. Gains of approximately
$494,000 on sales of $70 million of one- to four-family mortgage loans,
primarily 30 year fixed rate loans, were reflected in the year ended June 30,
1998. These loan sales were undertaken to manage prepayment risk as part of the
Company's asset/liability management strategy. In addition to these gains,
growth in non-interest income was primarily attained through the introduction of
charging non-customers for ATM transactions, fees recorded for the origination
of loans provided to other investors and an increase in service charges related
to checking accounts. Furthermore, for the year ended June 30, 1998, the
increase was partially attributable to a decrease in the net loss from real
estate operations. The net loss from real estate operations was $156,000 for the
year ended June 30, 1998 compared to a net loss from real estate operations of
$181,000 for the prior year.
Non-Interest Expenses. Non-interest expenses were $17.4 million for the year
ended June 30, 1998 compared to $22.4 million for the prior year. The year ended
June 30, 1997 included $4.8 million for the one-time SAIF recapitalization
assessment. Excluding the effects of the SAIF assessment, non-interest expenses
for the year ended June 30, 1998 were slightly lower than fiscal 1997. Due to
expense control measures, the Company's non-interest expenses as a percent of
average assets declined to 1.22% for the year ended June 30, 1998 from 1.47% for
the prior year, excluding the SAIF assessment.
Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense for the year ended June 30, 1998 was $6.2
million compared to $4.2 million for the year ended June 30, 1997. Excluding the
effects of the one-time SAIF recapitalization assessment, income tax expense of
$6.0 million was recorded for the prior year. The effective tax rate for the
year ended June 30, 1998 was 35.8%. Excluding the effects of the one-time SAIF
recapitalization assessment, the effective tax rate was 37.5% for the year ended
June 30, 1997.
Year 2000
The concern comprising the Year 2000 issue has its basis in the fact that many
existing computer programs have traditionally used only two digits in many date
fields to identify the year. The century representation has been largely
assumed. As a century change rapidly approaches, any misinterpretation of the
proper meaning could cause logic and other software errors in various
applications. Year 2000 readiness means being able to clearly discern and
traverse the century boundary in all applications.
It is not, however, just a computer issue. Building, communications and
environmental systems are also involved. The issue is further compounded by the
degree to which other entities, such as bank customers and suppliers, are
successful in addressing this same issue. The Year 2000 issue affects virtually
all organizations globally. Penn Federal has been taking, as have most banking
institutions, a proactive stance on this issue for several years.
A formal Year 2000 Project Plan (the "Year 2000 Plan") was prepared and approved
by the Company's Board of Directors. The Year 2000 Plan identified different
phases: awareness, assessment, renovation, testing and contingency planning. The
Board of Directors continues to be updated on a monthly basis as to the status
of all phases, with an independent verification of progress completed on a
quarterly basis. The OTS is also reviewing all of its regulated institutions for
Year 2000 preparedness.
A task force, with representatives from all divisions within the Bank, was
assembled to implement the Year 2000 Plan, under the direction of an executive
vice president and a senior vice president. The task force engaged in a wide
range of associated tasks. These included informing bank personnel about the
complexity of the issue, assessing its impact upon Penn Federal systems and
applications and arranging for the remediation of affected items. As the Bank
primarily runs software purchased from a few key vendors, the task force met and
worked closely with those vendors and suppliers to ensure a smooth transition
into the next millennium.
By following a carefully prescribed Year 2000 Plan, as of June 30, 1999 all
mission-critical systems, including interfaces to the main systems, have been
completely renovated and tested. Significant progress is being made to inform
customers of the Company's Year 2000 preparedness. The Company intends to
continue to test systems and plans throughout the remainder of 1999, as well as
sponsor regional seminars for customers.
Due to variables outside the direct control of the Company, contingency planning
is an ongoing process. Members of the task force have responsibility for
identifying a contingency plan for the different areas of software tested. This
type of contingency planning is critical because, regardless of the validation
of systems, the potential still exists that the systems will not operate as
expected. If software for certain critical systems does not operate and the
current vendor is unable to supply Year 2000 compliant software upgrades, the
use of an alternative vendor could be required to be pursued, at additional cost
to the Company.
Contingency planning also includes other factors, such as potential disruptions
in vital utility services, which could negatively impact the Company's ability
to service its customers. The Company has developed, and the Board of Directors
has reviewed and approved, a business resumption contingency plan. This plan
focuses on and attempts to anticipate potential problems that may arise, and
provides alternative contingency planning strategies to mitigate risk. The
business resumption contingency plan identifies actions that could help reduce
the likelihood or lessen the impact of a Year 2000 problem, as well as
identifies the appropriate response actions to be taken in the event that a
problem does occur.
The Company is continuing to review and assess the Year 2000 status of its
larger borrowers. All commercial and multi-family loans have been evaluated for
Year 2000 exposure through an independent review process. As part of the current
credit approval process, all new and renewed commercial and multi-family loans
are evaluated for Year 2000 risk. The Company has requested that each of its
larger borrowers provide information regarding the nature of steps being taken
by the borrowers to address their own Year 2000 issues.
The cost for the Year 2000 effort incurred in fiscal 1999 was $45,000.
Additional future costs are not expected to have a material effect on the
results of operations and are estimated to be $25,000. No additional
expenditures are currently anticipated for hardware or software upgrades. The
estimated remaining costs are expected to cover any ongoing testing and
contingency planning. The actual and estimated expenditures do not include
manpower costs of Company personnel associated with the task force, who retain
their individual operational responsibilities in addition to Year 2000 duties.
The costs are based upon management's analysis of the information currently
available to it. No assurance can be given that issues relating to the Year 2000
will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition or
results of operations.
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.
Federal regulations require the Bank to maintain minimum levels of liquid
assets. The required percentage has varied from time to time based upon economic
conditions and savings flows. The current required percentage is 4% of net
withdrawable deposits payable on demand or in one year or less and borrowings
payable on demand or in one year or less, both as of the end of the preceding
calendar quarter. Liquid assets for purposes of this ratio include cash, accrued
interest receivable, certain time deposits, U.S. Treasury and government
agencies and other securities and obligations generally having remaining
maturities of less than five years. All mortgage-backed securities are
includable in liquid assets, as well. The Company's most liquid assets are cash
and cash equivalents, short-term investments 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. At June 30, 1999 and 1998, the
Bank's liquidity ratios were 21.30% and 24.50%, respectively.
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 and reverse repurchase agreements. In addition,
the Company may access funds, if necessary, through the use of $57.0 million of
overnight repricing lines of credit and a $50.0 million one-month overnight
repricing line of credit from the FHLB of New York. 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
commitments, and to meet operating expenses. At June 30, 1999, the Company had
outstanding commitments to extend credit which amounted to $70.6 million
(including $46.4 million in available lines of credit) and commitments to
purchase loans of $25.1 million. Management believes that loan repayments and
other sources of funds will be adequate to meet the Company's foreseeable
liquidity needs.
During fiscal 1999, the Company's cash needs were provided by operating
activities, primarily from proceeds from the sales of loans. During fiscal 1999,
the cash provided was principally used for investing activities, which included
the purchase of investment securities and the origination and purchase of loans.
In addition to cash provided by operating activities, the Company's fiscal 1998
and 1997 cash needs were provided by increased deposits, an increase in advances
from the FHLB of New York and other borrowings and principal repayments of
mortgage-backed securities. Furthermore, during fiscal 1998, proceeds from the
Trust Preferred securities offering, maturities of investment securities and
sales of loans contributed to meeting the Company's cash needs. During fiscal
1998 and 1997, the cash provided was used for investing activities, which
included the origination and purchase of loans and the purchase of investment
securities.
Current regulatory standards impose the following capital requirements: a
risk-based capital standard expressed as a percentage of 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 June 30,
1999, the Bank exceeded all regulatory capital requirements and qualified as a
"well-capitalized" institution. See "Regulation" and Note P --Stockholders'
Equity and Regulatory Capital, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements.
The Company initiated a quarterly cash dividend on its common stock of $0.035
per share in the second quarter of fiscal 1997. The quarterly cash dividend was
increased to $0.04 per share in the second quarter of fiscal 1999. Total
dividends paid for the years ended June 30, 1999, 1998 and 1997 were $0.155 per
share, $0.14 per share and $0.105 per share, respectively. The declaration and
payment of dividends are subject to, among other things, PennFed's financial
condition and results of operations, regulatory capital requirements, tax
considerations, industry standards, economic conditions, regulatory
restrictions, general business practices and other factors.

PENNFED FINANCIAL SERVICES INC, AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Years Ended June 30, 1999, 1998 and 1997
A. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
PennFed Financial Services, Inc. ("PennFed") was organized in March 1994 for the
purpose of becoming the savings and loan holding company for Penn Federal
Savings Bank (the "Bank") in connection with the Bank's conversion from a
federally chartered mutual savings bank to a federally chartered stock savings
bank (the "Conversion").
Principles of Consolidation -- The consolidated financial statements of PennFed
and subsidiaries (with its subsidiaries the "Company") include the accounts of
PennFed and its subsidiaries (the Bank and PennFed Capital Trust I). PennFed
owns all of the outstanding stock of the Bank issued on July 14, 1994 (see Note
B - Stock Conversion). All references to the Company, unless otherwise
indicated, prior to July 14, 1994, refer to the Bank and its subsidiaries on a
consolidated basis. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates. The most significant area in
the accompanying financial statements where estimates have an impact is in the
allowance for loan losses.
Cash and Cash Equivalents -- For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash
equivalents include cash and amounts due from depository institutions.
Investment Securities and Mortgage-Backed Securities -- In accordance with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" ("SFAS 115"), debt securities
classified as held to maturity are carried at amortized cost only if the
reporting entity has a positive intent and ability to hold those securities to
maturity.
The Company classifies investment securities and mortgage-backed securities as
either held to maturity or available for sale. Investment securities and
mortgage-backed securities held to maturity are stated at cost, adjusted for
amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts, since the Company has both
the ability and intent to hold the securities to maturity. Investments available
for sale are carried at market value with unrealized gains and losses excluded
from earnings and reported as a separate component of stockholders' equity.
Loans Held for Sale -- Mortgage loans originated and intended for sale in the
secondary market are carried at the lower of cost or estimated market value in
the aggregate. Aggregate net unrealized losses are recorded as a valuation
allowance and recognized as charges to income.
PENNFED FINANCIAL SERVICES INC, AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--Continued
Loans Receivable -- Interest income is not accrued on loans where management has
determined that the borrowers may be unable to meet contractual principal or
interest obligations or where interest and/or principal is 90 days or more past
due. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, accrual of interest ceases and,
in general, uncollected past due interest (including interest applicable to
prior years, if any) is reversed and charged against current income. Therefore,
interest income is not recognized unless the financial condition and payment
record of the borrower warrant the recognition of interest income. Interest on
loans that have been restructured is generally accrued according to the
renegotiated terms.
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 114,
"Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan" ("SFAS 114") and Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 118, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment
of a Loan - Income Recognition and Disclosures" ("SFAS 118"), the Company
accounts for impaired loans, except those loans that are accounted for at fair
value or at the lower of cost or fair value, at the present value of the
estimated future cash flows of the loan discounted at the loan's effective
interest rate or at the loan's observable market price or the fair value of the
collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. A loan is impaired when it is
probable that all principal and interest amounts will not be collected according
to the loan contract. Delinquent, smaller balance, homogeneous loans that are
evaluated collectively on a portfolio basis are not considered impaired under
SFAS 114. The Company generally evaluates the collectibility of consumer and
one- to four-family loans on a total portfolio basis.
Allowance for Loan Losses -- The allowance for loan losses is established
through charges to earnings. 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 possible 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.
Premises and Equipment -- Premises and equipment are stated at cost, less
accumulated depreciation and amortization. Provisions for depreciation of
premises and equipment are computed on the straight-line method over three to
ten years for furniture and equipment and twenty-five to forty years for
buildings. Amortization of leasehold improvements is provided using the
straight-line method over the terms of the respective lease or estimated useful
life of the improvement, whichever is shorter.
PENNFED FINANCIAL SERVICES INC, AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--Continued
Real Estate Owned -- Real estate properties acquired by foreclosure are recorded
at the lower of cost or estimated fair value less costs to dispose with any
write down charged against the allowance for loan losses. Subsequent valuations
are periodically performed by management and the carrying value is adjusted by a
charge to expense to reflect any subsequent declines in the estimated fair
value. Further declines in real estate values may result in increased foreclosed
real estate expense in the future. Routine holding costs are charged to expense
as incurred and improvements to real estate owned that increase the fair value
of the real estate are capitalized. Gains on sale of real estate owned are
generally recognized upon disposition of the property. Losses are charged to
operations as incurred.
Goodwill -- The excess of cost over fair value of assets acquired ("goodwill")
arising from the acquisitions discussed in Note C is amortized to expense by an
accelerated method over the estimated remaining lives of long-term,
interest-bearing assets acquired (14 years) in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 72, "Accounting for Certain Acquisitions of
Banking or Thrift Institutions."
Core Deposit Premium -- The premium resulting from the valuation of core
deposits arising from the aforementioned acquisitions is being amortized to
expense over the estimated average remaining life of the existing customer
deposit base acquired (10 years).
Due to Banks -- This item represents a book overdraft relating to outstanding
checks written on the Company's Federal Home Loan Bank of New York operating
account.
Income Taxes -- Federal and state income taxes are based upon earnings reported
after permanent differences. Deferred income taxes are provided for temporary
differences in the basis of assets and liabilities between financial statement
and income tax amounts.
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes" ("SFAS 109"), the Company uses an asset and
liability method for financial accounting and reporting for income taxes.
Earnings Per Common Share -- Basic earnings per common share is computed by
dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number
of common shares outstanding during the period, less the weighted average
unallocated ESOP shares of common stock. The computation of diluted earnings per
share is similar to the computation of basic earnings per share except that the
denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that
would have been outstanding if the dilutive potential common shares had been
issued.
Loan Origination Fees and Discounts and Premiums -- Nonrefundable loan
origination fees net of certain direct loan origination costs are deferred. Net
deferred fees on loans held for investment are amortized into income over the
life of the related loans by use of the level-yield method. Net deferred fees on
loans originated for sale are deferred and recognized as part of the gain or
loss on sale of loans.
Discounts and premiums on investment and mortgage-backed securities and loans
purchased are recognized as income/expense over the estimated life of the asset
purchased using the level-yield method.

Interest Rate Swaps -- The Company has utilized interest rate swaps as a
component of managing interest rate risk. Swap agreements are held for purposes
other than trading. The Company's swaps are considered to be matched swaps, as
they are specifically linked with a liability. Periodic net cash settlements
under swap agreements are accrued as an adjustment to interest expense over the
life of the agreements. In the event of the termination of an interest rate swap
agreement, the gain or loss would be deferred and amortized as an adjustment to
interest expense over the shorter of the remaining life of the hedged item or
the remaining contract period. In the event of liquidation of the liability to
which the interest rate swap is linked, the interest rate swap would be recorded
at its fair market value with any change in such fair market value recorded in
the period it occurs.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards -- Effective July 1, 1998, the Company
adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting
Comprehensive Income" ("SFAS 130"). SFAS 130 establishes standards to reporting
and display of comprehensive income and its components. SFAS 130 requires that
all items that are required to be recognized under accounting standards as
components of comprehensive income be reported in a financial statement that is
displayed with the same prominence as other financial statements. The Company
will be required to classify items of other comprehensive income by their nature
in a financial statement and display the accumulated balance of other
comprehensive income separately from retained earnings and additional paid-in
capital in the equity section of the statement of financial condition. The
adoption of SFAS 130 did not have an effect on the Company's financial condition
or results of operations.
Stock Split-- All share information has been adjusted to reflect a two-for-one
stock split in the form of a 100% stock dividend paid on February 10, 1998. For
further information refer to Note P- Stockholders' Equity and Regulatory
Capital.
Reclassifications -- Certain reclassifications have been made to prior years'
financial statements to conform with current year's presentation.
B. Stock Conversion
On July 14, 1994, the Bank completed the Conversion and became a wholly owned
subsidiary of PennFed, a newly formed holding company. In connection with an
initial public offering, PennFed issued 11,900,000 shares of common stock at $5
per share ($.01 par value), increasing consolidated equity by $52.1 million,
which was net of conversion expenses of approximately $2.7 million and shares
issued to the ESOP representing 8% of the shares of common stock issued. The
Bank received proceeds of $28.0 million from PennFed in exchange for all of its
common stock.
PENNFED FINANCIAL SERVICES INC, AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--Continued
As part of the Conversion, in order to grant a priority to eligible account
holders in the event of future liquidation in accordance with Office of Thrift
Supervision ("OTS") regulations, the Bank established a liquidation account in
an amount equal to $40.9 million (the retained earnings of the Bank as of March
31, 1994). The total amount of the liquidation account will be decreased as the
balances of eligible account holders are reduced subsequent to the Conversion.
In the event of a complete liquidation of the Bank, and only in such event,
eligible account holders who continue to maintain their deposit accounts shall
be entitled to receive a distribution from the liquidation account in an amount
proportionate to the current adjusted qualifying balances for accounts then
held.
C. Branch Acquisitions
In 1995, the Bank acquired from the Resolution Trust Corporation ("RTC") the
deposit liabilities and certain of the assets and other liabilities of four
branch offices of Carteret Federal Savings Bank, Madison, New Jersey
("Carteret"). The four Carteret branch offices were located in Caldwell, Verona,
Fairfield and Wayne, New Jersey. Immediately following the purchase, under a
pre-arranged "consortium" agreement, Atlantic Stewardship Bank of Midland Park,
New Jersey acquired from the Bank the deposit liabilities and certain of the
assets and other liabilities of the Wayne, New Jersey branch office. In
connection with this transaction, no gain or loss was recorded by the Bank.
The Bank submitted an $18,739,000 deposit premium bid, of which $18,000,000
related to the Caldwell, Verona and Fairfield branches. In addition to the
$18,000,000 deposit premium, the Bank also capitalized $141,000 of expenses
reflecting a total deposit premium intangible asset of $18,141,000. For the
years ended June 30, 1999, 1998 and 1997, amortization of the deposit premium
intangible of $1,814,000 was recorded each year.
The Company acquired Sayreville Savings and Loan Association effective September
1982 and First Federal Savings and Loan Association of Montclair effective
September 1989. The acquisitions have been accounted for as purchases and,
accordingly, the purchase prices have been allocated to assets and liabilities
acquired based on their fair value at their date of acquisition. For each of the
years ended June 30, 1999, 1998 and 1997, the effect of the amortization of
goodwill was to reduce income before income taxes by approximately $347,000,
$421,000 and $496,000, respectively.

the Company had a commitment to sell these loans.
Non-accruing loans at June 30, 1999 and 1998 were $3,670,000 and $3,742,000,
respectively, which represents 0.34% of total loans outstanding at each date.
The total interest income that would have been recorded for the years ended June
30, 1999 and 1998, had these loans been current in accordance with their
original terms, or since the date of origination if outstanding for only part of
the year, was approximately $137,000 and $167,000, respectively.
At June 30, 1999 and 1998, impaired loans totaled $48,000 and $457,000,
respectively. The average balance of impaired loans for the years ended June 30,
1999 and 1998 was $339,000 and $724,000, respectively. All impaired loans have a
related allowance for losses, which totaled $48,000 and $185,000 at June 30,
1999 and 1998, respectively. Interest income related to impaired loans is
recognized under the cash-basis method. Interest income recognized on impaired
loans for the years ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 was $10,000 and $30,000,
respectively. Total interest income that would have been recorded for the years
ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, had these loans been current in accordance with

The Company's loan portfolio consists primarily of loans secured by residential
and commercial real estate located in its market areas. Therefore, the
collectibility of these loans is dependent to a large degree on the overall
strength of the New Jersey economy, as well as the specific strength of the real
estate sector.
PENNFED FINANCIAL SERVICES INC, AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--Continued
At June 30, 1999 and 1998, commercial and multi-family real estate loans totaled
$74,613,000 and $65,833,000, respectively. These loans are considered by
management to be of somewhat greater risk of collectibility due to their
dependency on income production. Commercial and multi-family real estate loans
collateralized by multi-family mixed use properties were $31,288,000 and
$33,033,000 at June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The remaining commercial
real estate loans were collateralized by commercial properties. The majority of
the Company's commercial and multi-family real estate loans were collateralized
by real estate in the State of New Jersey.
Loans serviced for others totaled approximately $116,180,000 and $110,916,000 at
June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Servicing loans for others generally
consists of collecting mortgage payments, maintaining escrow accounts,
disbursing payments to investors and foreclosure processing. Loan servicing
income is recorded on the accrual basis and includes servicing fees from
investors and certain charges assessed to borrowers, such as late payment fees.
In connection with these loans serviced for others, the Company held borrowers
escrow balances of $1,354,000 and $1,216,000 at June 30, 1999 and 1998,
respectively.

K. Guaranteed Preferred Beneficial Interests in the Company's Junior
Subordinated Debentures
The Company formed a wholly-owned trust subsidiary, PennFed Capital Trust I (the
"Trust"). Effective October 21, 1997, the Trust sold $34.5 million of 8.90%
cumulative trust preferred securities to the public which are reflected on the
Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition as Guaranteed Preferred Beneficial
Interests in the Company's Junior Subordinated Debentures (the "Trust Preferred
securities"). The Trust used the proceeds from the sale of the Trust Preferred
securities to purchase 8.90% junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures
issued by PennFed. The sole assets of the Trust are $35.6 million of junior
subordinated debentures which mature on October 31, 2027 and are redeemable at
any time after five years. The obligations of the Company related to the Trust
constitute a full and unconditional guarantee by the Company of the Trust
Issuer's obligations under the Trust Preferred securities. The Company used the
proceeds from the junior subordinated debentures for general corporate purposes,
including a $20 million capital contribution to the Bank to support future
growth.
L. Incentive Savings Plan
The Company's employee benefits include the Penn Federal Savings Bank 401(k)
Plan (the "Plan"). All employees of the Company who work at least 1,000 hours
per year and are at least 20 1/2 years old are eligible to participate in the
Plan. The Plan provides for a discretionary Company match of employee
contributions. For the years ended June 30, 1999, 1998 and 1997, expense related
to the Plan was $107,000, $101,000 and $78,000, respectively. At June 30, 1999
and 1998, the Plan assets included common stock of the Company with a market
value of $282,000 and $144,000, respectively.
M. Stock Plans
Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP")
In connection with the Conversion, the Company established an ESOP for eligible
employees. All full-time employees are eligible to participate in the ESOP after
they attain age 21 and complete one year of service during which they work at
least 1,000 hours. Employees were credited for years of service to the Company
prior to the adoption of the ESOP for participation and vesting purposes. The
Bank's contribution is allocated among participants on the basis of
compensation. Each participant's account is credited with cash or shares of the
Company's common stock based upon compensation earned during the year with
respect to which the contribution is made. After completing seven years of
service, a participant will be 100% vested in his/her ESOP account. ESOP
participants are entitled to receive distributions from the ESOP account only
upon termination of service, which includes retirement and death.
PENNFED FINANCIAL SERVICES INC, AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--Continued
The ESOP borrowed $4,760,000 from PennFed and purchased 952,000 shares of common
stock issued in the Conversion. This loan is to be repaid from discretionary
contributions by the Bank to the ESOP trust. The Bank has and intends to
continue to make contributions to the ESOP in amounts at least equal to the
principal and interest requirement of the debt, assuming a ten year term and an
interest rate of 7.46%. Annual contributions to the ESOP, which are used to fund
principal and interest payments on the ESOP debt, total $692,000. At June 30,
1999 and 1998, the loan had an outstanding balance of $2,804,000 and $3,253,000
and the ESOP had unallocated shares of 560,710 and 650,614, respectively. Based
upon a $15.75 closing price per share of common stock on June 30, 1999, the
unallocated shares had a fair value of $8,831,000. The unamortized balance of
the ESOP debt is reflected as a reduction of stockholders' equity.
For the years ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, the Bank recorded compensation
expense related to the ESOP of $1,173,000 and $1,273,000, respectively. The
compensation expense related to the ESOP includes $826,000 and $959,000,
respectively, for a valuation adjustment to reflect the increase in the average
fair value of allocated shares for the period from the time of purchase to the
allocation date. The ESOP allocated 89,904 and 83,662 shares for the years ended
June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively, to participants in the plan.
Management Recognition Plan
In connection with the Conversion, the Company established a Management
Recognition Plan ("MRP") as a means of enhancing and encouraging the recruitment
and retention of directors and officers. A maximum amount of an additional 4%,
or 476,000 shares, of the shares outstanding upon Conversion may be awarded
under the plan. As of June 30, 1999, 476,000 shares of restricted stock have
been awarded under the MRP. The shares vested in equal installments generally
over a five-year period, with the final installment vesting on April 28, 1999.
Of the total awarded, 2,142 shares did not vest and were cancelled. For the
years ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, the Company recorded expense of $431,000 and
$531,000, respectively, related to the MRP.
Stock Option Plan
In connection with the Conversion, the Company established the 1994 Stock Option
and Incentive Plan ("Option Plan"). The exercise price for the options granted
under the Option Plan cannot be less than the fair market value of the Company's
common stock on the date of the grant. The options are granted, and the terms of
the options are established, by the Compensation Committee of the Board of
Directors. Transactions during the years ended June 30, 1999, 1998 and 1997
relating to the Option Plan are as follows:

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation" ("SFAS 123"), if fully adopted, requires companies to measure
employee stock compensation plans based on the fair value method of accounting.
The Company has adopted the disclosure-only provisions of SFAS 123. Accordingly,
the Company continues to apply Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25,
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," ("APB 25") and related
interpretations in accounting for its plans. In accordance with APB 25, no
compensation expense has been recognized for its stock-based compensation plans
other than for restricted stock. Pro forma disclosures as if the Company fully
adopted the cost recognition requirements under SFAS 123 are presented below.
The estimated weighted average fair value of each stock option granted during
fiscal 1998 was estimated as $8.08 on the date of grant. The fair value of
options at date of grant was estimated using the Black-Scholes model with the
following weighted average assumptions: stock volatility of 18.78%; risk-free
PENNFED FINANCIAL SERVICES INC, AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--Continued
interest rate of 5.93%; and an expected life of 10 years. Had compensation cost
for the grants been determined based upon the fair value at the grant date
consistent with the methodology prescribed under SFAS 123, the Company's fiscal
1998 pro forma net income and diluted earnings per share would have been
approximately $9.6 million and $0.99, respectively. As the SFAS 123 method of
accounting has not been applied to stock options granted prior to July 1, 1996,
the resulting pro forma effects on net income is not representative of the pro
forma effect on net income in future years.

Pursuant to SFAS 109, the Company is not required to provide deferred taxes on
its tax loan loss reserve as of December 31, 1987. The amount of this reserve on
which no deferred taxes have been provided is approximately $16,300,000. This
reserve could be recognized as taxable income and create a current and/or
deferred tax liability using the income tax rates then in effect if one of the
following occur: (1) the Company's retained earnings represented by this reserve
are used for dividends or distributions in liquidation or for any other purpose
other than to absorb losses from bad debts, (2) the Company fails to qualify as
a Bank, as provided by the Internal Revenue Code, or (3) there is a change in
federal tax law.
O. Commitments and Contingencies
Lease Commitments -- At June 30, 1999, minimum rental commitments under all
noncancellable operating leases with initial or remaining terms of more than one
year are as follows:

Rentals under long-term operating leases for certain branch offices amounted to
$263,000, $234,000 and $169,000 for the years ended June 30, 1999, 1998 and
1997, respectively. Rental income of $454,000, $444,000 and $452,000 for the
years ended June 30, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively, is netted against
occupancy expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income.
Financial Instruments With Off-Balance Sheet Risk -- The Company is a party to
financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of
business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial
instruments are not recorded on the balance sheet when either the exchange of
the underlying asset or liability has not yet occurred or the notional amounts
are used solely as a means to determine the cash flows to be exchanged. These
financial instruments are commitments to extend credit, unused lines of credit,
commitments to purchase loans and interest rate swaps. These instruments
involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess
of the amount recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.
The Company's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the
other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit is
represented by the contractual notional amount of those instruments. The Company
uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations
as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.
PENNFED FINANCIAL SERVICES INC, AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--Continued
The following summarizes the notional amount of off-balance sheet financial
instruments:
June 30,
--------------------------
1999 1998
-------- --------
(In thousands)
Commitments to extend credit ............... $ 24,122 $ 6,850
Unused lines of credit ..................... 46,441 30,402
Commitments to purchase loans .............. 25,094 11,666
Interest rate swaps ........................ 150,000 150,000
Commitments to extend credit and unused lines of credit are legally binding
agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any
condition established in the contract. Commitments and lines of credit generally
have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment
of a fee. Since some of the commitments are expected to expire without being
drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future
cash requirements. The Company evaluates each customer's credit worthiness on a
case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained by the Company upon
extension of credit is based on management's credit evaluation of the borrower.
Collateral held varies but may include mortgages on commercial and residential
real estate and other tangible properties.
Commitments to purchase loans represent agreements to purchase loans through
correspondent relationships established by the Company with other institutions.
The Company currently purchases newly originated one- to four-family residential
mortgages secured by properties located in the State of New Jersey. Prior to
fiscal 1999, a limited amount of loans secured by properties located in the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the State of Massachusetts were purchased.
Prior to purchase, the Company applies the same underwriting criteria used in
its own originations.
The Company periodically enters into interest rate swap agreements to help
reduce certain interest rate exposure on a portion of the short-term deposits.
Interest rate swaps are contractual agreements between two parties to exchange
interest payments at particular intervals, computed on different terms, on a
specified notional amount. The notional amounts represent the base on which
interest due each counter party is calculated and do not represent the potential
for gains or losses associated with the market risk or credit risk of such
transactions. At both June 30, 1999 and 1998, the Company had $150 million in
notional amount interest rate swap agreements outstanding on which the Company
pays a fixed interest rate and receives a floating interest rate based on
three-month LIBOR from the counter parties, which are nationally recognized
investment firms. At June 30, 1999, the fixed interest rates payable by the
Company ranged from 4.99% to 6.63% and three-month LIBOR was 5.37%. The average
balance of notional amount interest rate swap agreements in fiscal 1999 and 1998
PENNFED FINANCIAL SERVICES INC, AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--Continued
was $165,753,000 and $100,548,000, respectively. Included in interest expense
for the year ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 was $1,116,000 and $507,000,
respectively, of expense related to interest rate swap agreements.
Mortgage-backed securities with a carrying value of $4,824,000 and $2,617,000 at
June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively, were pledged to secure these agreements.
The interest rate swap agreements mature or are callable between September 16,
1999 and November 8, 2001.
Other Contingencies -- In 1987, the New Jersey Department of Environmental
Protection ("NJDEP") conducted an environment contamination investigation of the
Orange Road branch site of First Federal Savings and Loan Association of
Montclair ("First Federal"). Prior to the acquisition by First Federal, the
location was used as a gasoline service station. On August 16, 1989, the NJDEP
issued a "no further action" letter to First Federal with regard to this site.
The Bank acquired First Federal effective September 11, 1989. Notwithstanding
the earlier "no further action" letter, on June 25, 1997, the NJDEP issued a
letter demanding that Penn Federal Savings Bank develop a remedial action work
plan for the Orange Road branch site as a result of an investigation conducted
on behalf of an adjacent property owner. The Bank disputed the NJDEP position
that Penn Federal Savings Bank was a responsible party. On July 1, 1998, the
NJDEP issued a letter determining that Penn Federal Savings Bank, Mobil Oil
Corporation and the former gasoline service station owner were all responsible
parties for the clean up at the subject site. Responsible parties may ultimately
have full or partial obligation for the cost of remediation. As of this date,
the apportionment of the remediation costs to the Bank, if any, is not
determinable. The Bank intends to vigorously contest this determination and to
seek contribution or indemnification from the other named responsible parties.
The Company is a defendant in certain claims and legal actions arising in the
ordinary course of business. At the present time, management does not anticipate
losses on any of these claims or actions which would have a material adverse
effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
P. Stockholders' Equity and Regulatory Capital
On January 13, 1998, the Company's Board of Directors declared a two-for-one
stock split in the form of a 100% stock dividend, payable on February 10, 1998
to common stockholders of record as of January 27, 1998.
During the year ended June 30, 1999, the Company repurchased 618,000 shares of
its outstanding common stock at prices ranging from $11.50 to $16.63 per share,
for a total cost of $8,729,000. During the year ended June 30, 1998, the Company
repurchased 325,000 shares of its outstanding common stock at prices ranging
from $16.63 to $17.88 per share for a total cost of $5,581,000. During the year
ended June 30, 1997, the Company repurchased 65,000 shares of its outstanding
common stock. The prices paid for the repurchased shares ranged from $10.00 to
$10.09 per share, for a total cost of $651,000.
On March 21, 1996, the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") initially
adopted a Stockholder Protection Rights Plan ("Rights Plan") and declared a
dividend of one common share purchase right ("Right") for each share of common
stock of the Company outstanding on April 1, 1996. Until it is announced that a
person or group has acquired 15% or more of the outstanding common stock of the
Company ("Acquiring Person") or has commenced a tender offer that could result
in such person or group owning 15% or more of such common stock, the Rights will
initially be redeemable for $0.01 each, will be evidenced solely by the
Company's common stock certificates, will automatically trade with the Company's
common stock and will not be exercisable.
PENNFED FINANCIAL SERVICES INC, AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--Continued
Upon announcement that any person or group has become an Acquiring Person and
unless the Board acts to redeem the Rights, then ten business days after such
announcement (the "Flip-in Date"), each Right (other than Rights beneficially
owned by any Acquiring Person or transferee thereof, which Rights become void)
will entitle the holder to purchase, for the $33.75 exercise price, a number of
shares of the Company's common stock having an aggregate market value of $67.50.
In addition, if, after the Acquiring Person gains control of the Board, the
Company is involved in a merger with any person or sells more than 50% of its
assets or earning power to any person (or has entered into an agreement to do
either of the foregoing), and, in the case of a merger, an Acquiring Person will
receive different treatment than other stockholders, each Right will entitle its
holder to purchase, for the $33.75 exercise price, a number of shares of common
stock of such other person having an aggregate market value of $67.50. If any
person or group acquires between 15% and 50% of the Company's common stock, the
Board may, at its option, require the Rights to be exchanged for common stock of
the Company. The Rights generally may be redeemed by the Board for $0.01 per
Right prior to the Flip-in Date.
The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by
the Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS"). Failure to meet minimum capital
requirements could result in certain mandatory and possible discretionary
actions by the OTS that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on
the Company's financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the
regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific
quantitative capital guidelines.
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy
require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of tangible capital of
not less than 1.5% of tangible assets, core capital of not less than 4% of
adjusted tangible assets and risk-based capital of not less than 8% of
risk-weighted assets. As of June 30, 1999, the Bank meets all capital adequacy
requirements to which it is subject.
As of its last regulatory examination the Bank was categorized as
"well-capitalized" under the prompt corrective action framework. To be
considered as "well-capitalized", the Bank must maintain a core capital ratio of
not less than 5% and a risk-based capital ratio of not less than 10%. There are
no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have
changed the Bank's category.

Risk-based capital $111,262 15.16% $ 58,705 8.00% $ 73,381 10.00%
In August 1993, the OTS adopted a regulation requiring that an amount be added
to an institution's risk-based capital requirement equal to 50% of the decline
in market value of portfolio equity ("MVPE") that exceeds 2% of the
institution's assets, under a hypothetical 200 basis points shock in interest
rates. MVPE is defined as the market value of assets, less the market value of
liabilities, plus or minus the market value of off-balance sheet items. At the
present time, the OTS has indefinitely postponed the effective date of the rule.
However, if the regulation had been in effect at June 30, 1999, the Bank would
still have exceeded its risk-based capital requirement.
The Bank's management believes that, with respect to regulations, the Bank will
continue to meet its minimum capital requirements in the foreseeable future.
However, events beyond the control of the Bank, such as increased interest rates
or a further downturn in the economy in areas where the Bank has most of its
loans, could adversely affect future earnings and, consequently, the ability of
the Bank to meet its future minimum capital requirements.
The previous table reflects information for the Bank. 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 (the "FRB"). The following summarizes
the Company's capital position under the FRB's capital requirements for bank
holding companies.

Federal regulations impose certain limitations on the payment of dividends and
other capital distributions by the Bank. Under current regulations, savings
institutions, such as the Bank, that meet the fully phased-in capital
requirements, as defined, subsequent to a capital distribution are generally
permitted to make such capital distribution without OTS approval, so long as
they have not been notified of the need for more than normal supervision by the
OTS. The Bank has not been so notified and, therefore, may make capital
distributions during a calendar year equal to 100% of year-to-date net income
plus retained net income for the two previous years. At June 30, 1999, the Bank
could have paid dividends totaling approximately $26.8 million.

Commitments to extend credit ........... $ 24,122 $ -- $ 6,850 $ --
Unused lines of credit ................. 46,441 -- 30,402 --
Commitments to purchase loans .......... 25,094 -- 11,666 --
Interest rate swaps .................... 150,000 (256) 150,000 (1,173)
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of
each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate fair
value:
Cash and Cash Equivalents -- For these short-term instruments, the carrying
amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.
Investment Securities and Mortgage-Backed Securities -- For these securities,
fair values are based on quoted market prices.
Federal Home Loan Bank of New York Stock--For this security, the carrying
amount, which is par, is a reasonable estimate of fair value. All transactions
in the capital stock of the FHLB of New York are executed at par.
Loans Held for Sale -- Fair value is based on the market price.
Loans Receivable -- Fair values are estimated for portfolios of loans with
similar financial characteristics. The total loan portfolio is first divided
into performing, held for sale and non-performing categories. Performing loans
are then segregated into adjustable and fixed rate interest terms. Fixed rate
loans are segmented by type, such as residential real estate mortgage,
non-residential, commercial real estate and consumer loans. Adjustable rate
loans are segmented by repricing characteristics. Residential loans are further
segmented by maturity.
For loans, fair value is calculated by discounting scheduled future cash flows
through estimated maturity using a discount rate equivalent to the rate at which
the Company would currently make loans which are similar with regard to
collateral, maturity and type of borrower. The discounted value of the cash
flows is reduced by a credit risk adjustment based on internal loan
classifications. Based on the current composition of the Company's loan
portfolio, as well as both past experience and current economic conditions and
trends, future cash flows are adjusted by prepayment assumptions which shorten
the estimated remaining time to maturity and, therefore, impact the fair market
valuation.
Accrued Interest Receivable, Net -- For these short-term assets, the carrying
amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--Continued
Deposits -- The fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, such as savings,
money market and other demand accounts, is equal to the amount payable on demand
as of June 30, 1999 and 1998. Time deposits are segregated by type and original
term. The fair value of time deposits is based on the discounted value of
contractual cash flows. The discount rate is equivalent to the rate currently
offered by the Company for deposits of similar type and maturity.
Federal Home Loan Bank of New York Advances -- The fair value of FHLB of New
York advances is based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The
discount rate is equivalent to the rate currently offered by the FHLB of New
York on borrowings of similar type and maturity.
Other Borrowings-- For these short-term borrowings, the fair value is based on
the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The discount rate is equivalent
to the rate currently offered for borrowings of similar type and maturity.
Mortgage Escrow Funds and Due to Banks -- For these short-term liabilities, the
carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.
Trust Preferred Securities -- For these securities, fair value is based on a
quoted market price.
Commitments to Extend Credit and Unused Lines of Credit -- The fair value of
commitments is estimated to be zero since the fees collected on commitments to
extend credit approximates the amount of costs incurred. No estimated fair value
is presented for unused lines of credit because the rates associated with these
lines are market rates.
Commitments to Purchase Loans -- No fair value is estimated due to the
short-term nature of these commitments.
Interest Rate Swaps-- For this off-balance sheet financial instrument, fair
value represents the amount the Company would have to pay to terminate the
agreements based upon quoted market prices as provided by financial institutions
which are counter parties to the agreements.
S. Related Party Transactions
In the ordinary course of business, the Company at times has made loans to and
engaged in other financial transactions with its directors, officers and
employees. Such transactions are generally made on substantially the same terms
as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with others and do
not involve more than normal risk of collectibility.

The following sets forth an analysis of loans, all of which are current, to
directors, officers and employees:
1999 1998
------- -------

Balance, beginning of year ............... $ 3,963 $ 3,870
New loans granted ........................ 728 961
Repayments/reductions .................... (1,083) (868)
------- -------
Balance, end of year ..................... $ 3,608 $ 3,963

In addition to the above amount of loans, at June 30, 1999 and 1998, there was
$46,000 and $38,000, respectively, of outstanding balances on overdraft checking
lines for directors, officers and employees.
T. Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement
No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS
133"). SFAS 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative
instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other
contracts and for hedging purposes. SFAS 133 requires that an entity recognize
all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial
condition and measure those instruments at fair value. The accounting for
changes in the fair value of a derivative depends on the intended use of the
derivative. In June 1999, the FASB issued Statement No. 137, "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities -- Deferral of the Effective Date
of FASB Statement No. 133" ("SFAS 137"). SFAS 137 delays the original effective
date of SFAS 133. In accordance with SFAS 137, SFAS 133 is effective for all
fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. Although
management has not yet fully evaluated the effects, the impact of SFAS 133 on
the Company's financial condition or results of operations is directly related
to the size and composition of the Company's portfolio of derivatives and market
conditions both at the time of adoption and each reporting period thereafter.
