WARWICK COMMUNITY BANCORP, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of Warwick Community Bancorp, Inc. ("Company") and its wholly owned
subsidiary The Warwick Savings Bank ("Bank"). In July 1998, the Company changed
its fiscal year end from May 31st to December 31st, and, accordingly, the
accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared
based on the Company's new fiscal year end.
The unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein reflect all
normal recurring adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary
to present a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented.
The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 are not
necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for the
entire year ending December 31, 1999. Certain information and note disclosures
normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the
rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and
notes thereto included in the Company's 1998 Annual Report to Shareholders.
2. EARNINGS PER SHARE
The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings per Share." Basic earnings per share excludes
dilution and is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number
of shares outstanding for the period, adjusted for the unallocated portion of
the shares held by the Warwick Community Bancorp, Inc. Employee Stock Ownership
Plan ("ESOP") in accordance with AICPA Statement of Position 93-6, "Employers
Accounting for Employee Stock Ownership Plans," and unearned shares held by the
Recognition and Retention Plan of Warwick Community Bancorp, Inc. ("RRP").
Diluted earnings per share, which reflects the potential dilution that could
occur if outstanding stock options were exercised and resulted in the issuance
of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the Company, is computed by
dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive
instruments.
3. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
The Company adopted SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income," in
1998. All comparative financial statements provided for earlier periods have
been reclassified to reflect application of the provisions of this statement.
Comprehensive income includes net income and all other changes in equity
during a period except those resulting from investments by owners and
distributions to owners. Other comprehensive income includes revenues, expenses,
gains and losses that, under generally accepted accounting principles, are
included in comprehensive income but excluded from net income.
Comprehensive income and accumulated other comprehensive income are
reported net of related income taxes. Accumulated other comprehensive income for
the Company consists solely of unrealized holding gains or losses on available
for sale securities.

Company increased $122.1 million, or 27.4%, from $445.1 million at December 31,
1998 to $567.3 million at September 30, 1999. This increase in total assets was
primarily attributable to a $57.2 million, or 21.7%, increase in total loans,
which increased from $263.2 million at December 31, 1998 to $320.4 million at
September 30, 1999, and a $46.4 million, or 29.8%, increase in total securities,
which increased from $155.5 million at December 31, 1998 to $201.9 million at
September 30, 1999. These increases resulted from continued growth in the loan
portfolio, particularly mortgage loans, and from the Bank's utilization of
additional wholesale leveraging transactions in order to enhance earnings. The
increase in total loans would have been significantly greater than 21.7%, but
such increase was partially offset by the sales and securitizations of $73.4
million of such loans during the nine-month period ending September 30, 1999,
which partially contributed to the 30.0% increase in total securities mentioned
above. By securitizing a significant number of the fixed-rate mortgage loans
that it originated, with servicing retained, into Fannie Mae mortgage backed
securities, the Company eliminated a substantial portion of the inherent credit
risk that otherwise would have been added to the balance sheet. Moreover,
because the resultant mortgage backed securities are readily accepted in
securities- sold-under-repurchase-agreement transactions, adding them to the
investment portfolio enhances the Company's liquidity position. The Federal Home
Loan Bank of New York ("FHLBNY") stock portfolio increased by $5.9 million in
conjunction with both the Company's larger asset size and the utilization of
additional wholesale leveraging transactions.
Deposits increased $14.5 million, or 5.9%, from $246.9 million at December
31, 1998, to $261.4 million at September 30, 1999. This increase was primarily
attributable to an increase in NOW and money market accounts of $11.8 million,
an increase of $4.8 million in savings accounts and an increase in certificates
of deposit of $8 thousand, and was partially offset by a decrease in
non-interest-bearing accounts of $2.1 million.
Borrowed funds, comprised primarily of securities sold under repurchase
agreements and FHLBNY advances, increased $116.5 million, from $104.8 million at
December 31, 1998 to $221.3 million at September 30, 1999. These increases were
primarily used in connection with the aforementioned wholesale leveraging
transactions, which enabled the Company to bolster net interest income.
Total stockholders' equity decreased by $12.7 million, or 15.0%, from $84.2
million at December 31, 1998 to $71.5 million at September 30, 1999. The
decrease was primarily attributable to $8.9 million in open market purchases of
644,138 shares, or 9.75%, of the Company's outstanding common stock in
conjunction with the Company's stock repurchase programs and the decline in
accumulated other comprehensive income of $6.3 million. The Company may
repurchase an additional 298,120 of its shares
10
<PAGE>
prior to December 22, 1999 pursuant to its third 5% stock repurchase program,
which was adopted in September 1999. Also contributing to the decrease in
stockholders' equity was the payment of quarterly cash dividends to shareholders
amounting to $874 thousand, which dividends were paid on March 30, 1999, June
30, 1999 and September 30, 1999. The decrease in total stockholders' equity was
partially offset by net income of $2.5 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999.
ANALYSIS OF NET INTEREST INCOME
Net interest income represents the difference between income on
interest-earning assets and expense on interest-bearing liabilities. Net
interest income depends upon the volume of interest-earning assets and
interest-bearing liabilities and the interest rates earned or paid on them.
AVERAGE BALANCE SHEETS. The following tables set forth certain information
regarding the Company's average statements of financial condition and its
statements of income for the three months and nine months ended September 30,
1999 and 1998 and reflects the average yield on assets and average cost of
liabilities for the periods indicated. Such yields and costs were derived by
dividing interest income or expense by the average balance of assets or
liabilities, respectively, for the periods shown. The yields include deferred
fees and discounts, which are considered yield adjustments. Average balances
were computed based on month-end balances. Management believes the use of
average monthly balances instead of average daily balances does not have a
material effect on the information presented.

RATE/VOLUME ANALYSIS. The following table presents the extent to which
changes in interest rates and changes in the volume of interest-earning assets
and interest-bearing liabilities have affected the Company's interest income and
interest expense during the periods indicated. Information is provided in each
category with respect to (i) changes attributable to changes in volume (changes
in volume multiplied by prior rate), (ii) changes attributable to changes in
rate (changes in rate multiplied by prior volume) and (iii) the net change. The
changes attributable to the combined impact of volume and rate have been
allocated proportionately to the changes due to volume and the changes due to
rate.

COMPARISON OF OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999
AND 1998
GENERAL. For the three months ended September 30, 1999, the Company
recognized net income of $936 thousand, or $0.17 per share, as compared to net
income of 734 thousand, or $0.12 per share, for the three months ended September
30, 1998. The increase was primarily attributable to increased interest and
non-interest income generated from the continued growth in the Company's loan
and securities portfolios. Net interest income and non-interest income increased
18.9% and 15.9%, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 1999,
and was partially offset by the 18.4% increase in other expense and the 8.5%
increase in the provision for income taxes.
14
<PAGE>
INTEREST INCOME. Interest income amounted to $9.2 million for the three
months ended September 30, 1999, as compared to $7.2 million for the three
months ended September 30, 1998. This increase of $2.0 million, or 27.9%, was
primarily the result of the increase of $1.0 million in interest earned on the
Company's mortgage loan portfolio, the increase of $581 thousand in interest and
dividends earned on securities and the increase of $388 thousand in interest
earned on other loans, as compared to the respective amounts earned over the
three-month period ended September 30, 1998.
Although the average yield of the Bank's mortgage loan portfolio over the
three months ended September 30, 1999 decreased from 7.49% to 7.40%, as compared
to the average yield realized over the three-month period ended September 30,
1998, mortgage loan interest income increased because of the $58.5 million
growth, or 32.8%, from $178.1 million to $236.6 million, in average mortgage
loan balances over the same time periods.
The average balances of investment securities, including mortgage-backed
securities, at the end of the three-month period ended September 30, 1999 was
$195.8 million, as compared to $167.8 million at the end of the three-month
period ended September 30, 1998, and the increase resulted largely from the
Bank's securitization of mortgage loans it originated and the utilization of
additional wholesale leverage transactions in order to enhance earnings.
INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense over the three-month period ended
September 30, 1999 on total interest-bearing deposits and borrowed funds
increased by $1.3 million when compared to the same three-month period one year
earlier, primarily as a result of the increase in the average balances of
interest-bearing deposits and borrowed funds. Over the same periods, the average
balances of the Bank's total interest-bearing liabilities increased by $118.3
million, or 39.8%, from $297.2 million to $415.5 million, which increase was
primarily associated with funding the Company's loan and securities growth.
NET INTEREST INCOME. Net interest income for the three months ended
September 30, 1999 increased $760 thousand, or 18.9%, to $4.8 million compared
to the three months ended September 30, 1998, primarily as a result of an
increase in the average balances of the Company's loan and investment securities
portfolios, combined with a decrease in the average cost of the Company's
interest-bearing liabilities, and was partially offset by an increase in the
average balances of those interest-bearing liabilities. The interest rate spread
increased to 3.10% from 3.01%, and the net interest margin decreased to 3.82%
from 4.07%, respectively, for the three-month period ended September 30, 1999
compared to the three-month period ended September 30, 1998.
PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES. The provision for loan losses for the three
months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998 was $125 thousand. This provision is a
result of management's assessment of the loan portfolio, the level of the Bank's
allowance for loan losses and its assessment of the local economy and market
conditions.
OTHER INCOME. Other income, net, for the three months ended September 30,
1999 totaled $1.2 million as compared to $1.0 million for the three months ended
September 30, 1998. This increase resulted primarily from increased service and
fee income and other income. The $240 thousand increase in service and fee
income resulted primarily from deposit and loan account growth, growth in the
amount of mortgage loans serviced and the new fee income associated with the
Company's debit card. Other income increased by $208 thousand which was
primarily from a $250 thousand reduction of a previously recognized $332
thousand unrealized loss on the valuation of residential mortgage loans
held-for-sale at the lower of cost or market, in accordance with the Financial
Accounting Standards Board's ("FASB") Statement No. 65, "Accounting for Certain
Mortgage Banking Activities." Partially offsetting these increases were
decreases of $217 thousand and $65 thousand, respectively, in income from
securities transactions and income from
15
<PAGE>
loan transactions as compared to the same period in 1998. This was due to the
Company entering into fewer mortgage banking transactions and electing instead
to increase operating revenue by further leveraging its balance sheet.
OTHER EXPENSES. Total other expenses increased by $681 thousand for the
three-month period ended September 30, 1999 as compared to September 30, 1998.
Salaries and employee benefits expense grew $411 thousand for the three months
ended September 30, 1999. This is primarily the result of additions to staff
necessary to attract and service a growing number of loan account and deposit
account customers, and to hiring new staff members for the Company's newly
formed subsidiary, The Towne Center Bank, a de novo state-chartered commercial
bank, and the Company's new full-service branch located in the town of Newburgh,
New York. Benefit Restoration Plan ("BRP") and RRP benefits expense increased by
$43 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 1999, as compared to the
same period in 1998, as the RRP was not approved by the Company's shareholders
until June 1998, and the shares awarded under the RRP did not begin to vest
until June 1999, resulting in the recognition of compensation expense by the
Company. ESOP benefits expense recognized for the third quarter of 1999 was
lower than the comparable prior period because of the decrease in the average
price of the Company's common stock at the time of benefit allocation. Occupancy
expense increased $198 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 1999
which was primarily attributable to the Company's town of Wallkill branch
relocation and the relocation of the mortgage loan origination and underwriting
department to the town of Newburgh. In addition, professional fees increased for
the third quarter of 1999 by $58 thousand. This increase was the result of legal
expenses and consulting fees associated with the Bank's implementation of a
tax-planning strategy to reduce its effective marginal tax rate. Advertising
expense and data processing expense increased $25 thousand and $20 thousand,
respectively, as the Bank continued to promote its name in a highly competitive
mortgage loan and commercial loan arenas and to expenses associated with
becoming Year 2000 compliant.
PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES. The increase in the provision for income taxes
for the three-month period ended September 30, 1999, as compared to the same
period ended September 30, 1998, was primarily attributable to the increase of
19.8% in pretax income.
COMPARISON OF OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 AND
1998
GENERAL. For the nine months ended September 30, 1999, the Company
recognized net income of $2.5 million, or $0.44 per share, as compared to net
income of $3.0 million, or $0.50 per share for the nine months ended September
30, 1998. The decrease in net income was primarily attributable to the 26.3%
increase in other expenses, which was partially offset by the 19.8% decrease in
the provision for income taxes, the 17.1% increase in other income, and the 8.6%
increase in net interest income.
INTEREST INCOME. Interest income amounted to $25.0 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 1999, as compared to $20.8 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 1998. This increase of $4.1 million, or 19.8%, was
primarily the result of the increase of $3.1 million in interest earned on the
Company's mortgage loan portfolio, the increase of $859 thousand in interest
earned on other loans and the increase of $293 thousand in interest and
dividends earned on the securities portfolio, offset by a decrease of $70
thousand and $10 thousand, respectively, in interest earned on federal funds
sold and interest earning accounts at other banks.
Although the average yield of the Bank's mortgage loan portfolio over the
nine months ended September 30, 1999 decreased from 7.53% to 7.33%, as compared
to the average yield realized over the nine-month period ended September 30,
1998, mortgage loan interest income increased because of the $60.1
16
<PAGE>
million growth, or 37.3%, from $161.0 million to $221.1 million, in average
mortgage loan balances over the same time periods.
The average balances of investment securities, including mortgage-backed
securities, at the end of the nine-month period ended September 30, 1999 was
$177.6 million, as compared to $160.9 million at the end of the nine-month
period ended September 30, 1998, and the increase resulted largely from the
Bank's securitization of mortgage loans it originated and the utilization of
additional wholesale leverage transactions in order to enhance earnings.
INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense over the nine-month period ended
September 30, 1999 on total interest-bearing deposits and borrowed funds
increased by $3.1 million when compared to the same nine-month period one year
earlier, primarily as a result of the increase in the average balances of
interest-bearing deposits and borrowed funds. Over the same periods, the average
balances of the Bank's total interest-bearing liabilities increased by $99.0
million, or 36.5%, from $271.5 million to $370.4 million, which increase was
primarily associated with funding the Company's loan and securities growth.
NET INTEREST INCOME. Net interest income for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999 increased $1.1 million, or 8.6%, to $13.3 million compared to
the nine months ended September 30, 1998, primarily as a result of an increase
in the average balances of the Company's loan and investment securities
portfolios, combined with a decrease in the average cost of the Company's
interest-bearing liabilities, and was partially offset by an increase in the
average balances of those interest-bearing liabilities. The interest rate spread
dropped to 3.15% from 3.31%, and the net interest margin decreased to 3.91% from
4.43%, respectively, for the nine-month period ended September 30, 1999 compared
to the nine-month period ended September 30, 1998. This reflects the lower
interest rate environment during the third quarter of 1999 as compared to the
equivalent quarter in 1998.
PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES. The provision for loan losses for the nine
months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998 was $375 thousand. This provision is a
result of management's assessment of the loan portfolio, the level of the Bank's
allowance for loan losses and its assessment of the local economy and market
conditions.
OTHER INCOME. Other income, net, for the nine months ended September 30,
1999 totaled $3.4 million as compared to $2.9 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1998. The increase resulted primarily from increased service and
fee income and other income. The increase of $521 thousand in the Company's
service and fee income resulted primarily from deposit and loan account growth,
growth in the amount of mortgage loans serviced and the new fee income
associated with the Company's debit card. Other income increased $49 thousand
for the nine months ended September 31, 1999 which was primarily from a $250
thousand reduction of the aforementioned $332 thousand unrealized loss that was
recognized upon the valuation of residential mortgage loans held-for-sale at the
lower of cost or market. Partially offsetting these increases were decreases of
$56 thousand and $22 thousand, respectively, in income from loan transactions
and in income from securities transactions as compared to the same period in
1998. This was due to the Company entering into fewer mortgage banking
transactions and electing instead to increase operating revenue by further
leveraging its balance sheet.
OTHER EXPENSES. Total other expenses increased by $2.5 million for the
nine-month period ended September 30, 1999 as compared to September 30, 1998.
This is primarily attributable to increased expenses related to the Company's
planned expansion into Bergen County, New Jersey, through the formation of The
Towne Center Bank, a de novo state-chartered commercial bank, as a subsidiary of
the Company and the addition of a new full-service branch in Newburgh, New York.
Salaries and employee benefits expense grew $781 thousand for the nine months
ended September 30, 1999. This is primarily the result of additions to
17
<PAGE>
staff necessary to attract and service a growing number of loan account and
deposit account customers and to the expansion into the markets discussed above.
ESOP benefits expense recognized for the first nine months of 1999 was higher
than the comparable prior period because of the increase in the number of shares
released as the ESOP loan is repaid. In addition, BRP and RRP benefits expense
increased by $449 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, as
compared to the same period in 1998, as the RRP was not approved by the
Company's shareholders until June 1998, and the shares awarded under the RRP did
not begin to vest until June 1999, resulting in the recognition of compensation
expense by the Company. Occupancy and data processing expense increased $503
thousand and $141 thousand, respectively, for the nine months ended September
30, 1999 and was attributable to the Company's town of Wallkill branch
relocation, the relocation of the Company's mortgage loan origination and
underwriting department to the town of Newburgh and the expense associated with
becoming Year 2000 compliant. Other expenses and professional fees increased
$289 thousand and $72 thousand, respectively, for the nine-month period ended
September 30, 1999. These increases resulted primarily from start-up expenses,
including legal expenses and consulting fees, associated with the formation of
The Towne Center Bank and legal expenses and consulting fees associated with the
Bank's implementation of a tax-planning strategy to reduce its effective
marginal tax rate. Advertising expense increased $202 thousand for the nine
months ended September 30, 1999, as a result of the continued promotion of the
Bank's name in the highly competitive mortgage loan and commercial loan market.
PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES. The decrease in the provision for income taxes
for the nine-month period ended September 30, 1999, as compared to the same
period ended September 30, 1998, was primarily attributable to the decrease of
19.2% in pretax income.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Liquidity is managed from a composite of customer deposits, from cash and
short-term interest-earning assets, from mortgage loans held for sale, from the
investment securities portfolio held available for sale and from the Company's
ability to borrow from the FHLBNY. At September 30, 1999, management had
utilized $36.8 million in repurchase agreements and $184.6 million in FHLBNY
advances to augment the Company's earnings, and management intends to enter into
additional transactions in order to leverage the Company's capital base further.
At September 30, 1999, the Company's total approved loan origination
commitments outstanding totaled $63.2 million. At the same time, the unadvanced
portion of residential construction loans totaled $9.7 million. Certificates of
deposit scheduled to mature in one year or less at September 30, 1999 totaled
$64.8 million. Based on historical experience, management believes that a
significant portion of such deposits will remain with the Bank.
At September 30, 1999, the Company had cash and due from banks of $13.5
million and securities available for sale of $200.8 million. Management believes
these amounts, together with the Company's borrowing capabilities, to be more
than adequate to meet its short-term cash needs.
REGULATORY CAPITAL POSITION
The Bank is subject to minimum regulatory capital requirements imposed by
the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"), which requirements are, as a
general matter, based on the amount and composition of an institution's assets.
Insured institutions in the strongest financial and managerial condition, with a
rating of 1 (the highest examination rating of the FDIC under the Uniform
Financial Institutions Rating System) are required to maintain Tier 1 capital of
not less than 3.0% of total assets (the
18
<PAGE>
"leverage capital ratio"). For all other banks, the minimum leverage capital
ratio is 4.0%, unless a higher leverage capital ratio is warranted by the
particular circumstances or risk profile of the institution.
At September 30, 1999, the Company exceeded the minimum regulatory capital
guidelines imposed by the Federal Reserve Board, which are substantially similar
to the requirements of the FDIC, with a Tier 1 capital level of $75.9 million,
or 14.24% of average assets, which is well above the required level of $21.3
million, or 4% of average assets. The Company's ratio of Tier 1 capital to
risk-weighted assets of 26.53% at September 30, 1999 is also well above the
required level of 4%. The Company's ratio of total capital to risk-weighted
assets is 27.23%, which is well above the required level of 8%. In addition, the
Bank's capital ratios qualify it to be treated as "well capitalized" for
regulatory purposes. The following table shows the Bank's regulatory capital
positions and ratios at September 30, 1999.

OTHER MATTERS
YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE. The Year 2000 issue is the result of the
inability of certain computer systems to recognize the year 2000. Many existing
computer programs and systems were initially programmed with nine digit dates
that provided only two digits to identify the calendar year in the date field
without considering the upcoming change in the century. As a result, such
programs and systems may recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 instead of
the year 2000, which could result in system failures or miscalculations. Like
most financial service providers, the Company and its operations may be
significantly affected by the Year 2000 issue due to the nature of financial
information. Software, hardware and equipment both within and outside the
Company's direct control and with whom the Company electronically or
operationally interfaces (i.e., third party vendors providing data processing,
information system management, maintenance of computer systems and credit bureau
information) are likely to be affected. Furthermore, if computer systems are not
adequately changed to identify the year 2000, many computer applications could
fail or create erroneous results. As a result, many calculations which rely upon
the date field information, such as interest, payment or due dates and other
operating functions, may generate results which could be significantly
misstated, and the Company could experience a temporary inability to process
transactions, send invoices or engage in similar normal business activities. In
addition, under certain circumstances, failure to adequately address the Year
2000 issue could adversely affect the viability of the Company's suppliers and
creditors and the creditworthiness of its borrowers. Thus, if not adequately
addressed, the Year 2000 issue could result in a material adverse impact upon
the Company's products, services and competitive condition and, therefore, its
results of operations, and could be deemed to imperil the safety and soundness
of the Bank.
The FDIC, the Bank's primary federal regulator, along with the other
federal bank regulatory agencies, has published substantive guidance on the Year
2000 issue and has included Year 2000 compliance as a substantive area of
examination. These publications, in addition to providing guidance as to
examination criteria, have outlined requirements for the creation and
implementation of a compliance plan and target dates
19
<PAGE>
for testing and implementation of corrective action. As a result of the
oversight by and authority vested in the federal bank regulatory agencies, a
financial institution that does not become Year 2000 compliant could be subject
to administrative remedies similar to those imposed on financial institutions
otherwise found not to be operating in a safe and sound manner, including
remedies available under prompt corrective action regulations.
The Company has developed and is implementing a plan (the "Plan") to
address the Year 2000 issue and its effects on the Company. The Plan includes
five components which address issues involving awareness, assessment,
renovation, validation and implementation. The Company has completed the
awareness, assessment and renovation phases of the Plan. During the awareness
and assessment phases of the Plan, the Company inventoried all material
information systems and those of third-party vendors. As part of the Plan, the
Company has had formal communications with all of its significant suppliers to
determine the extent to which the Company is vulnerable to those third parties'
failure to remedy their own Year 2000 issue and has been following the progress
of those vendors with their Year 2000 compliance status. The Company is now
actively involved in the validation and implementation phases of the Plan. In
accordance with the regulatory guidelines issued by the federal banking
regulators, the Bank and the Company have completed testing of its mission
critical systems and believes it is now Year 2000 ready.
Despite its best efforts to ensure Year 2000 compliance, it is possible
that one or more of the Company's internal or external systems may fail to
operate or to operate correctly, which could have a material adverse impact on
the operations of the Company or the Bank. At this time, while the Company
believes it has become Year 2000 compliant, the probability of such likelihood
cannot be determined. In the event that system failures related to the Year 2000
issue occur, the Company has developed contingency plans, which involve, among
other actions, utilization of an alternate service provider or alternate
products available through the current vendor.
The Company has reviewed its customer base to determine whether they pose
significant Year 2000 risks. The Company's customer base consists primarily of
individuals who utilize the Company's services for personal, household or
consumer uses. Individually, such customers are not likely to pose significant
Year 2000 risks directly. It is not possible at this time to gauge the indirect
risks which could be faced if the employers of such customers encounter
unresolved Year 2000 issues.
Monitoring and managing the Year 2000 issue will result in additional
direct and indirect costs to the Company. Direct costs include potential charges
by third party software vendors for product enhancements, costs involved in
testing software products for Year 2000 compliance and any resulting costs for
developing and implementing contingency plans for critical software products
that are not enhanced. Indirect costs will principally consist of time devoted
by existing employees in monitoring software vendor progress, testing enhanced
software products and implementing any necessary contingency plans. The Company
estimates that total costs related to the Year 2000 issue will not exceed
$165,000. Both direct and indirect costs of addressing the Year 2000 issue will
be charged to earnings as incurred. To date, over 90% of the total estimated
costs associated with the Year 2000 have already been expensed.
IMPACT OF PROPOSED LEGISLATION. New legislation has been adopted to
modernize the financial services industry by establishing a comprehensive
framework to permit affiliations among banks, insurance companies and other
financial service providers. Generally, such legislation (1) repeals the
historical restrictions and eliminates many federal and state law barriers to
affiliations among banks and securities firms, insurance companies and other
financial service providers, (2) provides a uniform framework for the activities
of banks, savings institutions and their holding companies, (3) broadens the
activities that may be conducted by banks and banking subsidiaries of bank
holding companies, (4) provides an enhanced framework for protecting the privacy
of consumer's information, (5) modifies the laws governing the
20
<PAGE>
implementation of the Community Reinvestment Act, (6) addresses a variety of
other legal and regulatory issues affecting both day-to-day operations and
long-term activities of financial institutions and (7) adopts a number of
provisions related to the capitalization, membership, corporate governance and
other measures designed to modernize the Federal Home Loan Bank system. The
Company does not believe that the proposed legislation will have a material
adverse affect on its operations. However, to the extent the legislation permits
banks, securities firms and insurance companies to affiliate, the financial
services industry may experience further consolidation. This could result in a
growing number of larger financial institutions that offer a wider variety of
financial services than the Company currently offers and that can aggressively
compete in the markets currently served by the Company.
NEW COMMERCIAL BANK SUBSIDIARY. On October 26, 1999, The Towne Center Bank,
a de novo New Jersey state-chartered commercial bank recently formed as a
separate subsidiary of the Company, opened for business. The Towne Center Bank
is located in Bergen County, New Jersey.
