         collateralized by Federal Home Loan Bank stock and substantially all
         first mortgage loans.

         Borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank at June 30, 1997 and

         repurchase of $26,268,000 and $27,297,000, respectively. At June 30,
         1997, $14,268,000 are due within thirty days and $12,000,000 is due in
         two years. The agreements at December 31, 1996 were all due within

         December 31, 1996 were 5.92% and 5.61%, respectively. Securities sold
         under agreement to repurchase were collateralized by mortgage-backed

         are reflected as a liability in the statements of financial condition.
         Securities sold under agreement to repurchase were collateralized by

         market risk. The accounting policies disclosure is effective for
         reports filed for quarters ending on or after June 15, 1997. The

Item 2.
                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


General

         The Company is the sole stockholder of the Bank. Substantially all of
the Company's consolidated revenues are derived from the operations of the Bank,
and the Bank represented substantially all of the Company's consolidated assets
and liabilities at June 30 1997. The Bank's business is that of a financial
intermediary and consists primarily of attracting deposits from the general
public and using such deposits, together with borrowings and other funds, to
make mortgage loans secured by residential real estate primarily located in New
Jersey and Delaware. The Bank provides consumer banking services through eight
retail banking offices in New Jersey and two retail banking offices in Delaware.
The Bank is subject to significant competition from other financial
institutions, and is also subject to regulation by the Office of Thrift
Supervision (OTS) and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and undergoes
periodic examinations by these regulatory agencies.

Net Income

        The Company earned $1,122,000 and $2,420,000 or $.41 and $.89 per share
for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1997 compared to $1,110,000
and $2,275,000 or $.41 and $.84 per share for the three and six month periods
ended June 30, 1996, respectively. Net income increased $12,000, or 1.1%, for
the three month period and increased $145,000, or 6.4%, for the six month period
ended June 30, 1997 as compared to the same periods in 1996.

Net Interest Income

        Net interest income for the three and six month periods ended June 30,
1997 totaled $3,804,000 and $7,632,000 compared to $3,774,000 and $7,507,000 for
the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1996, a $30,000 and $125,000, or
 .8% and 1.7% increase for the three and six month periods, respectively. The
increases in net interest income for the three and six month periods ended June
30, 1997 were attributable to growth in net interest-earning assets but were
offset by declines in net interest margin. Net interest-earning assets increased
$2,702,000 for the three month period but net interest margin declined to 3.06%
from 3.30%. Net interest-earning assets increased $1,864,000 for the six month
period but net interest margin declined to 3.11% from 3.34%. Average
interest-earning assets increased by $40,437,000 and $42,191,000 for the three
and six month periods ended June 30, 1997, respectively, as compared to the
prior year. Average interest-bearing liabilities increased by $37,735,000 and
$40,327,000 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1997,
respectively, as compared to the prior year. The increase in interest-earning
assets was primarily attributable to the purchase of mortgaged-backed securities
which increased by $32,780,000 and $34,008,000 for the three and six month
periods ended June 30, 1997, respectively, as compared to the prior year. The
increases in interest-bearing liabilities were attributable to increases in
deposits of $18,576,000 and $21,832,000 and borrowings of $19,159,000 and
$18,495,000 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1997,
respectively, as compared to the prior year.

        The following table sets forth information for the three and six month
periods ended June 30, 1997 and June 30, 1996 regarding the Company's (1)
average balance of interest-earning assets and the resultant interest income and
average yields; (2) average balance of interest-bearing liabilities and the
resultant interest expense and average costs; (3) net interest income; (4)
interest rate spread; (5) and net yield earned on weighted average
interest-earning assets. The table is not presented on a tax equivalent basis
because the Company's investment in tax-free obligations is insignificant.

Provision for Credit Losses

        The provision for credit losses were $100,000 and $200,000 for the three
and six month periods ended June, 1997 and 1996, respectively. As of June 30,
1997, the allowance for credit losses totaled $3,797,000 or 1.39% of total
loans, including loans held for sale, compared to $3,664,000 or 1.41% of total
loans, including loans held-for-sale at June 30, 1996.

Other Income

        Other income increased by $9,000 and $57,000 for the three and six
months ended June 30, 1997 from the comparable periods of 1996. The increase for
the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1997 were attributable to
increases in miscellaneous income of $61,000 and $53,000 for the three and six
month periods ended June 30, 1997, respectively, compared to the comparable
periods in the prior year. In addition, net profits relating to the sale of
investment securities held for trading and loans held for sale increased to
$41,000 and $98,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997,
respectively, from $16,000 and $29,000 during the comparable period in the prior
year. These increases for the three and six month periods were offset by
decreases in the accretion of excess of fair value over cost of $58,000 for both
periods of 1997 compared to the same periods of 1996.

Operating Expenses

General and Administrative Expense - General and administrative expense
increased $113,000 and $149,000 or 5.2% and 3.6% for the three and six month
periods ended June 30, 1997, respectively, from the comparable periods of 1996.
The increase in general and administrative expense for the six month period
ended June 30, 1997 was attributable to increases of $208,000 for the three
month period ended June 30, 1997 and $315,000 for the six month period ended
June 30, 1997 associated with branch operations (marketing, training and
improvements in technology) and additional costs of operating the holding
company. These increases were offset by decreases of $99,000 and $192,000 in the
federal insurance premium for the three and six month periods ended June 30,
1997, respectively, compared to the three and six month periods ended June 30,
1996.

Amortization of Deposit Premium - In January 1995, the Bank acquired two branch
offices with deposits of approximately $15,900,000. The premium paid for these
deposits is amortized over a period not exceeding the estimated average
remaining life of the customer base acquired.

Income Tax Expense

        Income tax expense decreased $21,000 and $18,000 for the three and six
month periods ended June 30, 1997, respectively, as compared to the same periods
in 1996. Pre-tax income decreased $9,000 from the comparable three month period
of 1996 and increased $127,000 from the comparable six month period of 1996. The
tax expense decreased because no valuation allowances on deferred tax assets
were provided during the periods ended June 30, 1997 while there were valuation
allowances provided during the periods ended June 30, 1996.

Financial Condition

        Total assets increased to $522,396,000 as of June 30, 1997 from
$498,399,000 on December 31, 1996, an increase of 9.6% on an annualized basis.
This increase was attributable to an increase in mortgage-backed securities and
loans receivable. From December 31, 1996 to June 30, 1997 mortgage-backed
securities and loans receivable increased by $13,294,000 and $11,399,000,
respectively.

        Total liabilities increased to $487,594,000 as of June 30, 1997 from
$465,754,000 on December 31, 1996, an increase of 9.4% on an annualized basis.
Deposits increased to $309,039,000 as of June 30, 1997 from $290,298,000 on
December 31, 1996. This increase was primarily due to increases in time deposits
and money market and other accounts. From December 31, 1996 to June 30, 1997,
time deposits increased by $9,617,000 while money market and other accounts
increased by $8,628,000. These increases were used to fund the increase in
mortgage-backed securities and loans receivable.

        Shareholders' equity increased to $34,802,000 as of June 30, 1997 from
$32,645,000 on December 31, 1996. This increase was primarily the result of net
income of $2,420,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1997, less $542,000 paid
during the six month period with respect to cash dividends and cash paid in lieu
of fractional shares associated with the four-for-three stock split declared on
January 7, 1997. In addition, investments classified as available-for-sale in
accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement No.
115 "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" are
required to be marked to market on an after-tax basis and unrealized gains or
losses reflected as an adjustment to shareholders' equity. The Company had
unrealized losses of $870,000 on December 31, 1996 and unrealized losses of
$590,000 on June 30, 1997 or a net decrease in unrealized losses of $280,000.

        The Company's level of non-performing assets is affected by adverse
situations that may affect a borrower's ability to repay and other conditions
beyond the Company's control. The Company's management monitors the quality of
assets on a regular basis.

Liquidity and Committed Resources

        Liquidity is maintained at a sufficient level to generate cash to fund
current loan demand and pay operating expenses. Sources of funds are obtained
from increases in loan principal repayments, deposits, sales of loans and
investments, increases in borrowed money and from operations. While loan
principal repayments are a relatively stable source of funds, deposit flows are
greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and
competition. As a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) system, the
Company may borrow from the FHLB of New York. The Company may also utilize
reverse repurchase agreements collateralized by mortgage-backed securities or
other securities. Management believes that the Company has sufficient borrowing
capacity to compensate for reductions in other sources of funds such as
deposits.

        The Company had 6.61% of its assets qualifying for liquidity under
applicable federal regulations as of June 30, 1997. The overall liquidity
percentage requirement is currently 5% on an average monthly basis.

        At June 30, 1997, the Company had approximately $12,275,000 in
outstanding commitments. It is anticipated that these commitments will fund
within the next year and funds will be available from normal cash flows.

Interest Rate Risk Management

        The Company has a program to control its interest rate risk. The
strategy includes an emphasis on originating adjustable rate mortgage (ARM)
loans, the purchase of adjustable rate and short-term mortgage-backed securities
(MBS) and the origination of short-term consumer loans. The Board of Directors
has instructed management to maintain interest rate risk within prescribed
limits. An internal asset/liability modeling system monitors the effect on
income of changing market interest rates.

        The difference between the amount of interest-earning assets maturing or
repricing within a specific time period and the amount of interest-bearing
liabilities maturing or repricing within that time period (gap) is also
monitored. A gap is considered positive when the amount of interest rate
sensitive assets exceeds the amount of interest rate sensitive liabilities. When
interest rate sensitive liabilities exceed interest rate sensitive assets, the
gap is considered negative. However, because all interest rates and yields do
not adjust at the same velocity, the gap is only a general indicator of interest
rate sensitivity.

        During a period of rising interest rates, a negative gap tends to
adversely affect net interest income while a positive gap tends to increase net
interest income. During a period of declining interest rates, a negative gap
tends to increase net interest income while a positive gap tends to adversely
affect net interest income.

        The Company's net interest income tends to increase in periods of
declining interest rates because its interest-bearing liabilities generally
reprice faster than its interest-earning assets. The Company's net interest
income tends to decrease in periods of rising interest rates. Therefore, rising
interest rates, particularly when combined with a flattening yield curve, could
have a negative impact on net interest income in future periods.

        The following table summarizes the amounts of interest-earning assets
and interest-bearing liabilities outstanding as of June 30, 1997 which are
anticipated to mature, prepay or reprice in each of the future time periods
shown. Adjustable and floating rate assets are included in the period in which
interest rates are next scheduled to adjust rather than in the period in which
they are due. Loans and mortgage-backed securities are included in the periods
in which they are anticipated to be repaid, based on internal assumptions.
Non-performing loans have been excluded from interest-earning assets. Money
market deposit accounts (MMDA) and other accounts, NOW and savings accounts
which are subject to immediate withdrawal and repricing are classified at decay
rates based upon assumptions provided by the OTS.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

         In February 1997, the FASB issued Statement No. 128, "Earnings Per
Share" effective for fiscal years ending on or after December 15, 1997. This
statement establishes new standards for computing and presenting earnings per
share and makes the earnings per share comparable to international standards.
Early application is not permitted and the Statement requires restatement of all
prior period Earnings Per Share (EPS) data presented after its effective date.
The EPS as currently reported is the same as the Basic EPS required by the
Statement. The newly required Diluted EPS is not expected to be materially
different than the Basic EPS.

         Also, in March 1997, the FASB issued Statement No. 129, "Disclosure of
Information about Capital Structure." This statement did not change the
currently reported disclosures.

         In June 1997, the FASB issued Statement No. 130, "Reporting
Comprehensive Income." This statement establishes standards for reporting and
displaying of comprehensive income and its components (revenues, expenses, gains
and losses) in a full set of general purpose financial statements. This
statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997.
Reclassification of financial statements for earlier periods provided for
comparative purposes is required.
