PART I
Item 1. Business
General. Collective Bancorp, Inc. ("Collective" or the "Holding Company"),
formed in December 1988, is a Delaware business corporation headquartered in
Cologne, New Jersey. Collective is a non-diversified unitary savings and loan
holding company within the meaning of the Home Owners' Loan Act which conducts
its operations through a federally insured savings bank subsidiary, Collective
Bank ("Collective Bank" or the "Bank"). As such, Collective is registered as a
holding company with the Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS") and is subject to
OTS regulation, examination, supervision, and reporting requirements.
Collective Bank was chartered by the State of New Jersey in 1927 as
Collective Building and Loan Association. In 1943, the Bank obtained federal
insurance of accounts and changed its name to Collective Savings and Loan
Association. In 1951, it assumed the name Collective Federal Savings and Loan
Association when it converted from a state to a federal charter. In 1984,
Collective Federal converted to a federally chartered stock association. In
1986, Collective Federal adopted a federal savings bank charter and changed its
name to Collective Federal Savings Bank. In 1994, Collective Federal Savings
Bank changed its name to Collective Bank.
On August 30, 1996, Collective received approval from the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System to become a bank holding company under
the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 ("BHC Act") in connection with its pending
acquisition of Continental Bancorporation and its subsidiary, Continental Bank
of New Jersey ("Continental Bank") which is a state-chartered commercial bank.
As a registered bank holding company under the BHC Act, Collective will be
subject to Federal Reserve regulation, examination, supervision, and reporting
requirements. The acquisition is expected to close in October 1996. At July 31,
1996, Continental Bank had four branch offices and deposits of approximately
$125 million.
Prior to the year ended June 30, 1996, the Bank acquired the deposit
liabilities and certain assets, including various branch offices of other
savings institutions, from regulatory authorities or the private sector. In
April 1995, Collective acquired the deposit liabilities and certain assets of
seven New Jersey offices of Sovereign Bank. In April and May 1994, Collective
acquired the deposit liabilities and certain assets of Hansen Federal Savings
Bank ("Hansen") and White Horse Federal Saving and Loan Association ("White
Horse") from the Resolution Trust Corporation. In February 1993, Collective Bank
purchased certain assets and assumed the deposit liabilities of four New Jersey
offices of First Nationwide Bank. In April 1993, Collective acquired Montclair
Bancorp, Inc. ("Montclair") and its subsidiary, Montclair Savings Bank.
Montclair has since been liquidated and Montclair Savings Bank has been merged
into Collective Bank. In total since fiscal 1991, the Bank has added the
deposits of 47 offices of various institutions amounting to $1.429 billion
through business combinations.
Collective Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank System, holds
stock in the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") of New York, and is subject to
supervision, examination, and regulation by the OTS. Collective Bank has its
deposit accounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC")
through the Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF"). The deposits acquired
from Montclair and certain deposits acquired from Sovereign Bank are insured by
the FDIC through the Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF").
Continental Bank is also a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank System and
holds stock in the FHLB of New York. Its deposits are insured by the FDIC
through the BIF. Continental Bank is subject to regulation, examination, and
supervision by the FDIC and the New Jersey Department of Banking.
The Bank is principally engaged in the business of attracting deposits from
the general public and using those deposits, together with borrowings and other
funds, to originate loans secured by real estate, to purchase mortgage-backed
securities, and, to a lesser extent, to originate various types of consumer and
commercial loans and make other investments. Funds for the Bank's lending
activities are principally derived from deposits of its savings customers,
amortization and prepayment of outstanding loans, advances from the FHLB, other
short-term borrowings, sales of loans and securities, and net income. The
principal expenses of the Bank are interest paid on deposits, advances and other
borrowings, and operating expenses.

At June 30, 1996, Collective had total assets of $5.145 billion, deposits
of $3.254 billion, loans and mortgage-backed securities of $4.622 billion, and
stockholders' equity of $364.3 million. Collective's operations are conducted
through a network of 78 banking offices and 5 loan origination offices of
Collective Bank in New Jersey and Delaware.

Lending Activities
General. Collective Bank historically concentrated its lending activities
in conventional first mortgage loans secured by residential property, and, to a
lesser extent, commercial property. Residential mortgage loans, including
construction loans, have been secured predominantly by single family homes. In
recent years as competition in the residential mortgage market has increased and
resulting profit margins have decreased, Collective Bank has increasingly turned
to commercial and consumer lending as an alternative source of earning assets.
Substantially all of the Bank's mortgage loans include a "due on sale"
clause which provides the Bank with a contractual right to declare a loan
immediately due and payable in the event, among other things, that the borrower
sells or otherwise disposes of the real property subject to the mortgage. It is
the policy of the Bank, with limited exceptions, to enforce due on sale
provisions. That provides the Bank with the opportunity to adjust the rate of
interest on existing fixed rate loans by negotiating a new rate at the time of
sale.
The Bank continues to emphasize the origination of adjustable rate
mortgages which have interest rates that adjust periodically over the life of
the loan based on a variety of indices. That strategy was initiated in order to
better match the costs and maturities of interest sensitive liabilities with the
yields and maturities of interest sensitive assets. Fixed rate, fixed-term
mortgage loans are made on terms which will permit them to be sold in the
secondary market. The original contractual maturity on all loans generally
ranges from 10 to 30 years; however, experience has shown that, because of
prepayments, the average life of residential loans is substantially shorter.
Mortgage instruments offered by the Bank include fixed rate 10, 15, and 30
year fully amortizing loans and several forms of adjustable rate mortgages which
have interest rate and payment adjustments made on scheduled intervals.
Adjustable rate mortgage products provide for interest adjustment intervals
ranging from 1 month to 7 years with payment adjustments that generally occur on
an annual basis. Interest adjustments are based on a variety of indices
including U.S. Treasury indices, prime rate, and the cost of funds as provided
by the 11th District Federal Home Loan Bank.
Commercial loans offered by the Bank include fixed-term loans secured by
real estate or business assets and commercial lines of credit. Commercial lines
of credit are secured by real estate or business assets and are available for
inventory expansion or working capital. Consumer loans include fixed-rate home
equity loans, home improvement loans, savings account loans, education loans,
automobile loans, personal loans, and variable rate home equity lines of credit
indexed to the prime rate.

Geographic Lending Area
Federal regulations permit the making of real estate loans throughout the
United States, provided that the Bank continues to meet the provisions of the
Community Reinvestment Act relating to servicing the credit needs of the
communities in which it operates offices.
Mortgage assets secured by property outside of New Jersey include loans,
loan participations, and securitized loans (mortgage-backed securities)
originated by Collective Bank's subsidiary service corporation or purchased in
the secondary market, primarily from savings and loan associations, the
Government National Mortgage Association ("GNMA"), the Federal Home Loan
Mortgage Corporation ("FHLMC"), and the Federal National Mortgage Association
("FNMA"). Mortgage assets also include conventional mortgage-backed securities
and mortgage derivative securities purchased from broker-dealers.
See Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the 1996
Annual Report to stockholders for information on geographic lending
concentration.
Loan Originations, Purchases, and Sales
The primary lending activity of the Bank has been granting loans to enable
borrowers to purchase existing homes, construct new homes, or refinance existing
mortgage loans. While the great majority of loan originations are conventional
first mortgage, single-family loans, the portfolio also includes loans on
two-to-four-family dwellings, multi-family housing (over four units both
conventional and Federal Housing Administration ("FHA") insured), commercial and
industrial properties, and loans made for the development of unimproved real
estate to be used for residential housing. At June 30, 1996, 90% of the Bank's
total loan portfolio consisted of loans secured by one-to-four-family dwellings.
The Bank's loan originations in fiscal 1996, 1995, and 1994 were
approximately $634 million, $691 million, and $895 million, respectively.
The Bank has been an active purchaser of whole loans and participations in
loans. Of the mortgage assets added to the portfolio in fiscal years 1996, 1995,
and 1994, approximately $24 million, $96 million, and $0.4 million,
respectively, were loans purchased from other lenders.
Loan originations are derived from a number of sources. Residential loan
originations can be attributed to real estate broker referrals, present savers
and borrowers, correspondents, builders, attorneys, and walk-in customers in
both loan origination and retail branch offices, as well as direct solicitation
by the Bank's loan solicitor sales force. Commercial loan originations emanate
from many of the same sources.
Regulations of the OTS limit the amount which savings banks may lend in
relationship to the appraised value of the real estate securing the loan, as
determined by an appraisal obtained at the time of loan origination. Regulations
permit a maximum loan-to-value ratio of 100% for one-to-four-family dwellings
and 90% for all other real estate loans. The Bank's general policies currently
limit the maximum loan-to-value ratio on single-family conventional loans to
95%, with the condition that private mortgage insurance be required on any home
loans with loan-to-value ratios in excess of 80%. Generally, multi-family
residential real estate loans do not exceed 80% of value and commercial real
estate loans do not exceed 75% of value.
14
<PAGE>
The Bank obtains title insurance insuring the priority of the lien on
substantially all of its real estate loans and requires that fire and extended
coverage casualty insurance be maintained in amounts at least equal to the
amounts of the loans.
All sales of whole loans and participations in loans originated by the Bank
have been made without recourse by the purchaser of the loans.
The following table shows the Bank's loan origination, purchase, sale, and
repayment activity, before considering deferred loan fees, deferred discounts,
loans in process, and allowance for loan losses, for the periods indicated.

Loan Fees and Service Charges
In addition to interest earned on loans, the Bank receives fees in
connection with loan originations, loan prepayments, loan modifications, late
payments, changes of property ownership, and miscellaneous related services.
Funds collected from those sources vary significantly with the volume and type
of loans made and purchased and competitive factors. Income also is produced
through the servicing of loans for others.

Classified Assets, Delinquent Loans, and Allowance for Losses
The OTS has adopted an asset classification system for insured
institutions which covers all problem assets. Under that classification system,
problem assets of insured institutions are classified as "substandard",
"doubtful", or "loss", depending on the presence of certain characteristics
discussed below.
An asset is considered substandard if it is inadequately protected by
the current net worth and paying capability of the obligor or of the collateral
pledged, if any. Substandard assets include those characterized by the distinct
possibility that the insured institution will sustain some loss if the
deficiencies are not corrected. Assets classified as doubtful possess 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
uncollectable and of such little value that there is no basis to continue to
carry the asset as an asset without the establishment of a specific loss
reserve.
An insured institution is required to establish a general allowance for
loan losses in an amount deemed prudent by management to recognize the inherent
risk associated with the institution's lending activities, including
consideration of the institution's classified assets. Such general allowances,
unlike specific allowances, are not allocated to particular problem assets. When
an insured institution classifies problem assets as loss, it is required either
to establish a specific allowance for losses equal to 100% of the amount of the
asset so classified or to charge-off such amount. An institution's determination
as to the classification of its assets and the amount of its valuation
allowances is required to be consistent with generally accepted accounting
principles and is subject to review by the institution's principal regulator,
the Regional Director of the OTS, who can order the establishment of additional
general or specific loss allowances.
In connection with the filing of its periodic reports to the OTS, the
Bank regularly reviews the problem assets in its portfolio to determine whether
any assets require classification in accordance with applicable regulations. On
the basis of such periodic review, management had identified $20.5 million of
classified assets, or 0.40% of total assets as classified assets at June 30,
1996.

Based upon its evaluation of the loan portfolio, it is management's policy
to provide valuation allowances for estimated losses on loans when it determines
that a significant and permanent decline in value has occurred and that losses
are reasonably expected to be incurred on the loans. Although management
believes that it uses the best information available at the time such
determinations are made, future adjustments to allowances could be necessary. At
June 30, 1996, Collective had valuation allowances for loans amounting to $12.9
million. During fiscal 1995, Collective adopted the provisions of SFAS 114 and
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 118, "Accounting by Creditors
for Impairment of a Loan" ("SFAS 118"), which amends SFAS 114. The adoption of
these standards did not significantly alter the amount of loans classified as
impaired or any related allowances. SFAS 114 requires that impaired loans be
measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at
the loan's effective rate or, as a practical expedient, the loan's observable
market price, or the fair value of the collateral may be used if the loan is
collateral dependent. In applying the provisions of SFAS 114 and SFAS 118,
Collective utilizes the fair value of the collateral for measurement of
substantially all impaired mortgage loans and commercial loans. To a lesser
extent, where loans are not collateral dependent, the present value of expected
future cash flows is utilized.
When a borrower fails to make a required payment on a loan, the Bank
attempts to cure the default by contacting the borrower. In general, contacts
are made after a payment is more than 15 days past due, and a late charge is
assessed at that time. In most cases, defaults are cured promptly. If the
delinquency on a mortgage loan exceeds 90 days and is not cured through the
Bank's normal collection procedures or an acceptable arrangement is not worked
out with the borrower, the Bank will institute measures to remedy the default,
including commencing a foreclosure action or in special circumstances accepting
a voluntary deed of the security property in lieu of foreclosure from the
mortgagor.
If foreclosure is effected, the property is sold at a public auction in
which the Bank may participate as a bidder. If the Bank is the successful
bidder, acquired real estate is then included in the Bank's "real estate
acquired in settlement of loans" ("REO") account until it is sold.
17
<PAGE>
Real estate acquired by the Bank as a result of foreclosure or by
deed-in-lieu of foreclosure is classified as REO until it is sold. When property
is acquired, it is recorded at the lower of cost or fair value less estimated
costs of sale at the date of acquisition. Any writedown resulting therefrom is
charged to the allowance for loan losses. Interest accrual ceases when the loan
becomes 90 days delinquent, and all costs incurred from that date in maintaining
the property are expensed. Costs incurred for the improvement and development of
such property are capitalized to the extent realizable.

The following table depicts an analysis of the Bank's allowance for loan
losses for the years indicated.

Mortgage-Backed Security Activities
The Bank has been an active purchaser of mortgage-backed securities
("MBS's"), including mortgage derivative securities consisting primarily of
collateralized mortgage obligations ("CMO's"). Also, the Bank generally
securitizes originated loans that it may sell in the secondary market.
At the time of purchase, the Bank's CMO's generally were considered to be
medium-term investments. The cash flows and estimated lives of such CMO's can be
volatile during periods of changing interest rates, particularly during periods
of rising interest rates when the estimated average lives can extend to
approximate the lives of longer-term securities. The Bank did not purchase any
CMO's during fiscal 1996.
Mortgage-backed securities purchased during the 1996, 1995, and 1994 fiscal
years amounted to approximately $113 million, $165 million, and $1.679 billion,
respectively. Such purchases included securitizations of loans originated by
Collective in 1996, 1995, and 1994 amounting to $14 million, $32 million, and
$211 million, respectively.
The following table sets forth the composition of the Bank's mortgage-backed
security portfolio by category.

Retail Banking
Retail Banking operations consist of two major functions, deposit gathering
activities and loan originations.
Deposit gathering activities consist of selling savings, time, and checking
deposits. The deposit customers of the Bank are mainly individuals. However, the
Bank is steadily increasing its share of business and governmental customers.
Savings instruments consist of regular savings accounts in passbook or statement
form, money market accounts, and certificates of deposit ranging in term from
seven (7) days to ten (10) years. These savings instruments may also be used as
an investment vehicle for individual retirement accounts ("IRA's") and
self-employed retirement accounts ("KEOGH's"), which are managed by the Bank.
Checking accounts, which comprise an increasing portion of the Bank's deposits,
are marketed to the public in interest bearing ("NOW") and non-interest bearing
versions. Checking deposits provide the Bank with a major source of low cost
funds and significant fee income.
One-to-four-family mortgages, consumer loans, and business loans are
originated through the retail offices. Mortgage loan originations consist of a
variety of fixed rate and adjustable rate loans. The consumer loans that are
available include revolving home equity credits, student loans, auto loans, and
personal loans. Business loans are made for either a fixed term or as a line of
credit. Mortgage loans and consumer loans are offered to individuals from the
general population in the Bank's market areas. Business loans are made to
creditworthy establishments and professionals. See "Lending Activities", page
10.
Other traditional banking services are performed for the convenience of the
Bank's deposit and loan customers, as well as to provide the Bank with
additional sources of fee income. Those services include:
. The sale and redemption of U.S. Savings Bonds
. Bond coupon redemption services
. Electronic banking
. Pay-by-phone banking
. Sale of money orders
. Sale of travelers checks
. ATM (Automatic Teller Machine) Services
. Direct deposit of payroll or pension
. Cash management services

Borrowings
The FHLB provides a reserve credit facility to its members both for the
purpose of meeting the members' demand for funds when savings flows are
insufficient and to enable its members to fix their cost of funds for longer
terms through a long-term, fixed-rate program. Advances from the FHLB are made
on the security of the FHLB capital stock owned by the Bank as well as certain
of its mortgage loans, and the Bank must meet certain standards related to
creditworthiness in connection with the advances. For interest rates and
maturities, see Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements of Collective
Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiary. Other borrowings primarily represent funds
obtained from brokers under security repurchase agreements. Those transactions
are only effected through primary government bond dealers of the Federal Reserve
Bank of New York. They are secured by U.S. Treasury obligations, FHLMC
securities, FNMA securities, and GNMA securities. From time to time, borrowings
are obtained for the purchase of mortgage loans or mortgage-backed securities
through other sources. The loans or securities that are purchased normally
secure the borrowings from those sources.
The following table sets forth the composition of Collective's Federal Home
Loan Bank advances and other borrowed funds on the dates indicated.

Competition
The Bank experiences substantial competition in attracting and retaining
deposits and in making real estate, consumer, and commercial loans. The primary
factors in competing for deposits are interest rates, convenience of office
locations, and customer service. Direct competition for deposits comes from
savings and loan associations, commercial banks and credit unions, and, more
recently, other financial services companies. Additional significant competition
for deposits comes from corporate and government securities and money market
funds, which may yield higher interest rates than instruments offered by savings
banks. The primary factors in competing for loans are interest rates and rate
adjustment provisions, loan maturity, loan fees, and the quality of service to
borrowers. Competition for origination of loans normally comes from savings and
loan associations, savings banks, commercial banks, mortgage banking companies,
and insurance companies.
Employees
At June 30, 1996, Collective and its subsidiary employed 884 full-time and
229 part-time employees. Management considers its relations with its employees
to be good.
The Bank provides its employees with a comprehensive benefits program,
including basic and major medical insurance, dental insurance, life insurance,
long term disability insurance, employee stock ownership plan, and thrift and
profit sharing plans. Such employee benefits are considered by management to be
generally comparable with employee benefits provided by other major employers in
its market area.
Regulatory Matters
General. Collective Bancorp, as a unitary savings and loan holding company,
and Collective Bank, as a federally chartered, FDIC insured savings bank, are
subject to extensive federal regulation, primarily by the OTS and to a lesser
extent by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"). The Bank must file
reports with the OTS and FDIC concerning its activities and financial condition,
in addition to obtaining regulatory approvals prior to entering into certain
transactions, such as mergers with or acquisitions of other savings
institutions. There are periodic examinations by the OTS and the FDIC to test
the Bank's compliance with various regulatory requirements. As a savings and
loan holding company, Collective is also required to file certain reports with,
is subject to periodic examinations by, and otherwise is required to comply with
the rules and regulations of the OTS relating to holding companies. The
regulatory structure also gives the regulatory authorities extensive discretion
in connection with their supervisory and enforcement activities and examination
policies, including policies with respect to the classification of assets and
the establishment of adequate loan loss allowances for regulatory purposes. Any
change in such regulation, whether by the OTS, the FDIC, or the Congress, could
have a material adverse impact on Collective, the Bank, and their operations.
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991. On December
19, 1991, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991
("FDICIA") became law. While FDICIA primarily addresses additional sources of
funding for the Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF"), which insures the deposits of
commercial banks and savings banks, it also imposes a number of new mandatory
supervisory measures on savings associations and banks.
FDICIA requires financial institutions to take certain actions relating to
their internal operations, including: providing annual reports on financial
condition and management to the appropriate federal banking regulators, having
an annual independent audit of financial statements performed by an independent
public accountant, and establishing an independent audit committee comprised
solely of outside directors. FDICIA also imposes certain operational and
managerial standards on financial institutions relating to internal controls,
loan documentation, credit underwriting, interest rate exposure, asset growth,
and compensation, fees, and benefits. The banking regulators adopted final
regulations implementing those standards in May 1993 to become effective for
fiscal years beginning after December 31, 1992.
FDICIA also requires the FDIC to assess deposit insurance premiums based on
risk. Regulations implementing those standards became effective January 1, 1993.
24
<PAGE>
FDICIA establishes a system of prompt corrective action to resolve the
problems of undercapitalized institutions. Under that system, which became
effective on December 19, 1992, the banking regulators are required to take
certain supervisory actions against undercapitalized institutions, the severity
of which depends upon the institution's level of capitalization. Generally,
subject to a narrow exception, FDICIA requires the banking regulator to appoint
a receiver or conservator for an institution that is critically
undercapitalized. FDICIA authorizes the banking regulators to specify the ratio
of tangible capital to assets at which an institution becomes critically
undercapitalized and requires that ratio to be no less than 2% of assets.
Under the OTS final rule implementing the prompt corrective action
provisions, a savings institution that has a total risk-based capital ratio of
10.0% or greater, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 6.0% or greater, and a
leverage ratio of 5.0% or greater is deemed to be "well-capitalized". An
institution with a total risk-based capital ratio of 8.0% or greater, a Tier 1
risk-based capital ratio of 4.0% or greater, and a leverage ratio of 4.0% or
greater is considered to be "adequately capitalized". A savings institution that
has a total risk-based capital ratio of less than 8.0%, a Tier 1 risk-based
capital ratio of less than 4.0%, or a leverage ratio that is less than 4.0% is
considered "undercapitalized". A savings institution that has a total risk-based
capital ratio of less than 6.0%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of less than
3.0%, or a leverage ratio that is less than 3.0% is considered to be
"significantly undercapitalized", and a savings institution that has a tangible
equity (core capital, minus intangible assets other than supervisory goodwill
and purchased mortgage servicing rights) to assets ratio equal to or less than
2% is deemed to be "critically undercapitalized". Under the rule, the Bank is
considered to be "well-capitalized".
Other provisions of FDICIA require financial institutions to provide
supplemental disclosure in financial statements filed with the regulators of the
estimated fair market value of assets and liabilities, permit thrift
institutions to acquire commercial banks and commercial banks to acquire thrift
institutions, and increase the amount of consumer loans that a savings
association may invest in from 30% to 35% of total assets.
QTL Requirement. Under the qualified thrift lender ("QTL") test, savings
institutions are required to maintain 65% of their portfolio assets (defined as
all assets minus intangible assets, property used by the institution in
conducting its business, and liquid assets equal to 20% of total assets) in
"qualified thrift investments" (primarily residential mortgages and related
investments, including certain mortgage-backed securities and stock issued by
any Federal Home Loan Bank, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac) and to continue to meet
such test for each subsequent two-year period. An institution which fails the
QTL test is prohibited from: (1) engaging in any new activity not permissible
for a national bank, (2) paying dividends unless in compliance with national
bank regulations, and (3) obtaining new advances from the FHLB System. In
addition, a savings institution failing to comply with the QTL requirements is
required to convert to a bank charter within three years, unless it requalifies
as a QTL within a one-year period and retains such QTL status thereafter. If
such conversion or requalification does not occur within three years, the
association must repay all FHLB advances, divest all investments, and cease all
activities not permissible for a national bank. In addition, within one year of
failure, any holding company of the failing savings association must register
and become subject to the regulations applicable to bank holding companies under
the Bank Holding Company Act ("BHC Act"). An institution can lose its QTL status
at any time after that date, if its percentage of qualified thrift investments,
averaged over the immediately preceding two year period, falls below 70%.
Institutions are required to report their qualified thrift investments to the
OTS on a quarterly basis. As of June 30, 1996, the Bank maintained 97% of its
portfolio assets in qualified thrift investments, which met the QTL test.
Capital Requirements. The OTS regulations include three separate
measurements of capital adequacy: a leverage ratio, a tangible capital standard,
and a risk-based capital standard.
The OTS 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, certain
non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock, and related surplus. In addition, all
intangible assets, other than a limited amount of purchased mortgage servicing
rights, must be deducted from tangible capital.
The capital regulations also require that savings institutions maintain a
leverage (core capital) ratio of 3% to adjusted total assets as defined by the
regulations. Core capital is defined as common stockholders' equity (including
retained earnings), non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock and related
surplus, minority interests in equity accounts of consolidated subsidiaries,
less intangibles; up to 25% of other intangibles which meet separate saleability
and market valuation tests; and certain purchased mortgage servicing rights. No
goodwill or core deposit intangibles may be included in core capital.
25
<PAGE>
The OTS capital regulation requires that, in meeting the leverage ratio and
tangible and risk-based capital standards, savings institutions must deduct
investments in and loans to subsidiaries engaged in activities not permissible
for a national bank (a "non-qualifying subsidiary"). At June 30, 1996, the Bank
did not have a non-qualifying subsidiary.
The risk-based capital standard for savings institutions requires the
maintenance of total capital (which is defined as core capital and supplementary
capital) to risk-weighted assets of 8%. In determining the amount of
risk-weighted assets, all assets, including certain off-balance-sheet assets,
are multiplied by risk-weights ranging from 0% to 100%, as assigned by the OTS
capital regulation based on the risks OTS believes are inherent in the type of
assets.
The components of supplementary capital currently include cumulative
preferred stock, long-term perpetual preferred stock, mandatory convertible
securities, subordinated debt and intermediate preferred stock, and allowance
for loan and lease losses. Allowance for loan and lease losses includable in
supplementary capital is limited to a maximum of 1.25% of risk-adjusted assets.
Overall, the amount of capital counted toward supplementary capital cannot
exceed 100% of core capital. At June 30, 1996, the Bank met each of its capital
requirements.
See Note 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the 1996
Annual Report to stockholders for a comparison of the Bank's regulatory capital
ratios at June 30, 1996 with the minimum requirements.
Limitation on Dividends and Other Capital Distributions. The OTS
regulations impose limitations upon all capital distributions by savings
institutions, such as cash dividends, payments to repurchase or otherwise
acquire its shares, payments to shareholders of another institution in a
cash-out merger, and other distributions charged against capital. An institution
that exceeds all capital requirements before and after the proposed capital
distribution and has not been advised by the OTS that it is in need of more than
normal supervision, can, after prior notice but without the approval of the OTS,
make capital distributions during a calendar year up to 100% of its net income
to date during the calendar year plus an amount that would reduce by one-half
its "surplus capital ratio" (the excess capital over its capital requirements)
at the beginning of the calendar year, or 75% of its net income for the most
recent four quarters, whichever is greater. Any additional capital distributions
require prior regulatory approval.
A savings institution that does not meet its current regulatory capital
requirement before or after payment of a proposed capital distribution can not
make any capital distributions without the prior written approval of the OTS.
Such institutions, however, may make capital distributions consistent with
approved capital plans.
In addition, the OTS can prohibit a proposed capital distribution by any
institution, which would otherwise be permitted by the regulation, if the OTS
determines that such distribution would constitute an unsafe and unsound
practice. As of June 30, 1996, the Bank exceeded all of its minimum capital
requirements and had not been notified by the OTS that it is in need of more
than normal supervision. Thus, the Bank need only provide the OTS with
thirty-days advance notice of any proposed declaration of a dividend to the
Holding Company.
Insurance of Deposit Accounts. The Bank's deposit accounts are insured by
the SAIF to a maximum of $100,000 for each insured depositor and by the BIF to a
maximum of $100,000 for each insured depositor with respect to the deposits
acquired from Montclair Savings Bank and Sovereign Bank.
Under the FDIC risk-based assessment system for insured depository
institutions, the assessment rate depends on the assessment risk classification
assigned to the institution by the FDIC, based upon the institution's level of
capitalization and the FDIC's judgment of the risk posed by the institution.
Institutions are assigned to one of three capital groups - well capitalized,
adequately capitalized, or less than adequately capitalized - based on whether
they meet defined capital ratios, and to one of three supervisory subgroups
within the capital group - healthy, of supervisory concern, or of substantial
supervisory concern - based on supervisory evaluations by the institution's
primary supervisory authority and such other information as the FDIC determines
to be relevant to the institution's financial condition and the risk posed to
the deposit insurance fund. The assessment rate for SAIF-insured institutions
ranges from 0.23% to 0.31% with an average assessment rate of 0.259%. At the
present time, the Bank is assigned an assessment rate of 0.23%.
26
<PAGE>
In June 1995, the FDIC virtually eliminated assessments for well
capitalized BIF members. As a result of that change, approximately 91% of BIF
members pay only the minimum assessment for deposit insurance. The FDIC retained
the existing assessment rate schedule of 23 to 31 basis points applicable to
SAIF member institutions. In announcing the new schedule, the FDIC noted that
the premium differential may have adverse consequences for SAIF members,
including reduced earnings and an impaired ability to raise funds in the capital
markets. In addition, SAIF members, such as the Bank, could be placed at a
substantial disadvantage to BIF members with respect to pricing of loans and
deposits and the ability to achieve lower operating costs.
Several alternatives to mitigate the effect of the BIF/SAIF premium
disparity have been suggested including, among others, the merger of BIF and
SAIF or the assessment of a one-time fee on the deposits held by SAIF members to
recapitalize the SAIF fund. Various bank regulators have recently proposed to
Congress that a special one-time assessment of between 75-85 basis points be
adopted to recapitalize the SAIF fund. This would allow adoption of an ongoing
assessment schedule similar to that applicable to BIF members. The proposal also
contemplates an eventual merger of the BIF and SAIF into one fund and the
elmination of the thrift charter. It cannot be predicted whether this or any
other legislation regarding the disparity will be enacted. Any such legislation
may have an adverse effect on the operating expenses, provisions for income
taxes, and results of operations of the Bank.
Federal Home Loan Bank System. The Bank is a member of the FHLB System,
which consists of 12 regional FHLBs. The FHLB provides a central credit facility
primarily for member institutions. The Bank, as a member of the FHLB-New York,
is required to acquire and hold shares of capital stock in that FHLB in an
amount at least equal to 1% of the aggregate principal amount of its unpaid
residential mortgage loans and similar obligations at the beginning of each
year, or 1/20 of its advances (borrowings) from the FHLB-New York, whichever is
greater. The Bank is in compliance with this requirement, with an investment in
FHLB-New York stock at June 30, 1996 of $45.1 million. FIRREA provides that FHLB
advances be secured by specified types of collateral and be obtained only for
the purpose of providing funds for residential housing finance, and that
regulations be adopted establishing standards of community investment and
service that must be met by members seeking to receive FHLB advances.
The Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989
("FIRREA") requires the FHLB to pay approximately $300 million per year from
their annual earnings in order to provide funds for the repayment of bonds sold
by the Resolution Funding Corporation ("REFCORP"), the agency created by FIRREA
to raise funds to be used for the resolution of insolvent savings institutions.
In addition, the FHLBs were required to pay from their reserves and undivided
profits approximately $1.8 billion to purchase stock in the REFCORP. The FHLBs
are also required under FIRREA to contribute a percentage of their earnings to
affordable housing programs. These requirements could reduce the amount of
dividends that the FHLBs pay to their members and could also result in the FHLBs
imposing a higher rate of interest on advances to their members. For the years
ended June 30, 1994, 1995 and 1996, dividends from the FHLB-New York to the Bank
amounted to $2.1 million, $1.7 million, and $2.4 million, respectively.
Should dividends be reduced or interest on future FHLB advances increased,
the Bank's net interest income might also be reduced. Furthermore there cannot
be any assurance that the impact of the FIRREA on the FHLBs will not also cause
a decrease in the value of the FHLB-New York stock held by the Bank.
Regulation of the Holding Company. The Holding Company is subject to OTS
regulations, examinations, supervision, and reporting requirements. In addition,
the OTS has enforcement authority over the Holding Company and any non-savings
institution subsidiaries established by it. Among other things, this authority
permits the OTS to restrict or prohibit activities that are determined to be a
serious risk to the subsidiary savings institution.
27
<PAGE>
The Home Owners' Loan Act ("HOLA") prohibits a savings and loan holding
company, directly or indirectly, or through one or more subsidiaries, from (1)
acquiring control of, or acquiring by merger or purchase of assets, another
savings institution or holding company thereof, without prior written approval
of the OTS, (2) acquiring or retaining, with certain exceptions, more than 5% of
a non-subsidiary savings institution, a non-subsidiary holding company, or a
non-subsidiary company engaged in activities other than those permitted by the
HOLA, or (3) acquiring or retaining control of an institution that is not
federally insured. In evaluating applications by holding companies to acquire
savings institutions, the OTS must consider the financial and managerial
resources and future prospects of the company and institution involved, the
effect of the acquisition on the risk to the insurance funds, the convenience
and needs of the community, and competitive factors.
As a unitary savings and loan holding company, Collective generally will
not be restricted under existing laws as to the types of business activities in
which it may engage, provided that the Bank continues to be a QTL. Upon any
acquisition by the Holding Company of another SAIF-insured institution, a
federal savings bank insured by the BIF, or a state-chartered BIF-insured
savings bank meeting the QTL test that is deemed to be a savings institution by
OTS, except for a supervisory acquisition, the Company would become a multiple
savings and loan holding company (if the acquired institution is held as a
separate subsidiary) and would be subject to extensive limitations on the types
of business activities in which it could engage. The HOLA limits the activities
of a multiple savings and loan holding company and its non-insured institution
subsidiaries primarily to activities permissible for bank holding companies
under Section 4(c)(8) of the BHC Act, subject to the prior approval of the OTS,
and activities in which multiple savings and loan holding companies were
authorized by regulation to engage in on March 5, 1987. Such activities include
mortgage banking, consumer finance, operation of a trust company, and certain
types of securities brokerage. The services and activities in which multiple
holding companies were authorized to engage on March 5, 1987 generally
correspond to the activities which are permitted for service corporations of
federally chartered savings institutions.
The OTS is prohibited from approving any acquisition that would result in a
multiple savings and loan holding company controlling savings institutions in
more than one state, subject to two exceptions: (1) the approval of interstate
supervisory acquisitions by savings and loan holding companies, and (2) the
acquisition of a savings institution in another state if the laws of the state
of the target savings institution specifically permit such acquisitions.
Taxation
Collective and its subsidiary file a consolidated federal income tax return
on a fiscal year basis. The provision for income taxes is calculated under the
net change method. Under the net change method, the tax effects of changes in
tax and book assets and liabilities are computed at current tax rates. The
federal statutory rate was 35% for the years ended June 30, 1996, 1995, and
1994.
Savings institutions which meet certain definitional tests and other
conditions prescribed by the Internal Revenue Code are allowed annual deductions
for additions to their bad debt reserve. A qualifying institution may elect
annually to compute this deduction as a percentage of taxable income before such
deduction or based upon actual loss experience. During fiscal 1994, 1995, and
1996 Collective Bank employed the percentage of taxable income method.
Under the percentage of taxable income method, savings institutions are
allowed to deduct eight percent of annual taxable income (adjusted to exclude
certain amounts) for annual additions to their bad debt reserve established for
federal income tax purposes. This eight percent amount, however, must be reduced
(but not below zero) by the amount of the deduction allowed for losses on
nonqualifying loans. Furthermore, the bad debt reserve deduction under the
percentage of taxable income method is available only to the extent that the
total amount accumulated in the bad debt reserve for qualifying real property
loans does not exceed six percent of such loans outstanding at year-end. The
deduction is further limited to the greater of (1) the amount equal to the
addition to the bad debt reserve for losses on qualifying real property loans
under the experience method, or (2) the amount which, when added to the addition
to the bad debt reserve for losses on nonqualifying loans, equals the amount by
which 12% of total deposits or withdrawable accounts at year-end exceeds the sum
of surplus, undivided profits, and reserves at the beginning of the year. The
amounts of bad debt reserve deductions taken by Collective Bank to date have
been substantially below the maximum amounts permitted under the foregoing
limitations.
28
<PAGE>
On August 20, 1996, legislation was enacted repealing Section 593 of the
Internal Revenue Code which had permitted the use of the percentage of taxable
income bad debt deduction method. Therefore, effective July 1, 1997, Collective
will no longer be allowed to use such method. The legislation also provided for
recapture of a thrift institution's post-1987 excess bad debt reserves resulting
from use of the percentage of taxable income bad debt method. The tax on the
excess bad debt reserves is payable over a six-year period commencing with
Collective's 1997 fiscal year. A two-year deferral to fiscal 1999 for
commencement of the six-year payment period will be available to Collective if
it meets a specified residential loan production test. It has not yet been
determined whether Collective will meet such test during fiscal 1997. At June
30, 1996, Collective's post-1987 excess tax bad debt reserves amounted to $14.8
million. The legislation will not have a material impact on Collective's
financial condition or results of operations because deferred taxes, amounting
to $5.5 million, have been provided on such excess reserves.
Earnings appropriated to bad debt reserves established for income tax
purposes cannot be used for any purpose other than to absorb bad debt losses
without payment of federal income taxes by the Bank on the amounts so used at
the then current tax rate.
In addition, if such reserves are used to pay dividends or to make other
distributions with respect to its stock (such as distributions in redemption of
its stock), they would be subject to taxation at the then current corporate tax
rates, on an amount approximately one and one-third times the actual amount of
any such distribution. Dividends may be paid out of unappropriated retained
earnings without the imposition of any tax on the Bank to the extent that the
amounts paid as dividends do not exceed earnings and profits as calculated for
federal income tax purposes.
Collective files income tax returns as part of a consolidated group. By
filing a consolidated return, the Bank is subject to a Department of the
Treasury regulation that requires savings institutions which file income tax
returns as part of a consolidated group to reduce proportionately their bad debt
deduction for certain tax losses incurred by non-savings and loan members of the
consolidated group.
The most recent completed examination by the IRS of the tax returns of
Collective was through the calendar year 1991. There were no changes made to
Collective's taxable income as originally reported.

In connection with our audit of the aforementioned consolidated financial

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
The Stockholders and Board of Directors of Collective Bancorp, Inc.:
We have audited the statement of consolidated financial condition of Collective
Bancorp, Inc. and subsidiary as of June 30, 1995 and the related statements of
consolidated operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the two
years in the period ended June 30, 1995 as contained in the 1996 annual report
to stockholders before the restatement of the statements of consolidated cash
flows to reflect the retroactive reclassification of various amounts as
investing activities which were previously classified as operating activities
for the year ended June 30, 1995 and 1994 (not included herein). Our audits also
included the financial statement schedules listed in the Index at Item 14(a)2
for each of the two years in the period ended June 30, 1995. These financial
statements and the financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the
Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the
financial statements and financial statement schedules based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Collective Bancorp, Inc. and
subsidiary at June 30, 1995, and the results of their operations and their cash
flows befor the restatement as described in the first paragraph for each of the
two years in the period ended June 30, 1995 in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, such financial statement
schedules, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial
statements taken as a whole, present fairly in all material respects the
information set forth therein.
Effective July 1, 1994, Collective Bancorp, Inc. changed its method of
accounting for impairment of loans and for investments in certain debt and
equity securities, to conform with Statements of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 114, 115, and 118.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Overview
Although fiscal 1996 net income and earnings per share were lower than they
were in fiscal 1994 and 1995, the 1996 returns on average assets and average
equity were substantially above the medians for publicly-held thrift
institutions as follows:

</TABLE>
At June 30, 1996, Collective's classified (non-performing) assets ratio was
0.40% compared to 0.62%(1) for all publicly-held thrifts.
Financial Condition
At June 30, 1996, stockholders' equity amounted to $364.3 million, or $17.88
per share, compared to $327.8 million, or $16.10 per share at June 30, 1995. The
ratio of stockholders' equity to total assets was 7.08% at June 30, 1996
compared to 6.41% at June 30, 1995. The increase in stockholders' equity
resulted primarily from net income of $54.5 million less dividends on common
stock of $17.3 million. Dividends were 31.8% of earnings in 1996 compared to
22.9% in 1995 and 19.4% in 1994. 1996 represented the sixth consecutive year in
which dividend payments have been increased. The increase in the ratio of equity
to assets from 1995 to 1996 resulted from an 11.1% increase in equity while
assets increased only 0.7%.
Total assets were $5.145 billion at June 30, 1996, an increase of $35.0
million over the preceding year-end. The increase in assets was comprised of the
following elements (in millions):

</TABLE>
The decrease in trading securities resulted from the sale of $13.3 million in
July 1995. The increase in securities available for sale resulted primarily from
the purchase of $31.6 million of Federal National Mortgage Association preferred
stock which was immediately classified as available for sale. Mortgage-backed
securities ("MBS's") available for sale also increased $16.2 million. The
decrease in investment securities was comprised primarily of maturing or called
U.S. government and agency obligations partially offset by an increase in stock
of the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York .
Loans receivable, net increased during fiscal 1996 because loans purchased
and originated for investment exceeded sales and repayments. During fiscal 1996,
83.1% of total loan production met Collective's criteria for investment because
it consisted of higher yield thirty-year fixed rate mortgages, adjustable rate
mortgages, ten and fifteen-year fixed rate mortgages, commercial loans, or
consumer loans. The increase in loans receivable, net was comprised of the
following elements (in millions):

<PAGE>
The decrease in MBS's held for investment occurred as Collective sought to
decrease its reliance on collateralized mortgage obligations ("CMO's") as an
investment vehicle. Collective's CMO portfolio decreased by $114.3 million in
fiscal 1996 and other conventional MBS's decreased by $12.4 million.
At June 30, 1996, the investment and MBS portfolios included gross unrealized
gains of $2.2 million and gross unrealized losses of $83.6 million. Collective
has the positive intent and ability to hold these securities to maturity under
all foreseeable economic conditions. Therefore, it is not expected that any
gains or losses will be realized. In recent years, since authoritative guidance
and/or accounting standards have been developed for the definitive
classification of securities, Collective has not sold securities from its held
to maturity portfolios. Collective has always been able to satisfy its liquidity
needs from the cash flows from operating and financing activities, and there is
no present indication that Collective will not be able to do so in the future.
Unrealized gains or losses in Collective's held to maturity securities
portfolios are a function of the interest rate environment at any given point in
time and, therefore, are only temporary in nature.
During fiscal 1996, deposits decreased $23.4 million. The decrease in
deposits was comprised of the following elements (in millions):
<TABLE>
<S> <C>
Demand deposits............................... $ 76.0
Savings and investment accounts............... 12.2
Savings certificates.......................... (111.6)
--------
Total......................................... $ (23.4)
--------
</TABLE>
The increase in demand deposits resulted from Collective's continuing
campaign to attract lower cost checking accounts, both personal and commercial.
At June 30, 1996, demand deposits amounted to 18.6% of total deposits compared
to 16.1% at the end of the preceding year. In a changing interest rate
environment, deposit interest rates generally do not adjust as rapidly as rates
on certain other investments. The decrease in savings certificates occurred
because depositors sought alternative investment vehicles with higher yields.
Such decrease was primarily in the fifteen month and jumbo (in excess of
$100,000) categories, partially offset by an increase in the six month, eight
month, twelve month and twenty-four month categories as certificates were priced
to retain and attract deposits selectively.
The net increase in borrowings, primarily reverse repurchase agreements, was
used to fund the asset growth and to replace maturing savings certificates.
Interest Rate Sensitivity
Collective's interest rate sensitivity is determined by 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"). 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 adversely affects
net interest income while a positive gap increases net interest income. During a
period of declining interest rates, a negative gap increases net interest income
while a positive gap adversely affects net interest income. Collective's net
interest income tends to decrease in periods of rising interest rates because
its interest-bearing liabilities generally reprice faster than its
interest-earning assets. (See the "Maturity and Rate Sensitivity Analysis", page
50.) Collective's net interest income also tends to decrease in periods when
there is a relatively flat yield curve. (The yield curve is a reflection of the
difference between long-term interest rates, represented by the 30-year U.S.
Treasury Bond, and short-term interest rates, represented by the 3-month U.S.
Treasury Bill.) Conversely, Collective's net interest income tends to increase
in periods of falling interest rates and in periods when there is a relatively
steep yield curve because the difference between the yields Collective receives
on its longer-term loans and securities and the rates it pays on its
shorter-term deposits and borrowings increases.

A comparison of Collective's gap position at June 30, 1996 and 1995 follows:

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
</TABLE>
The negative one-year gap decreased in 1996 primarily because of the decrease
in MBS's and increases in adjustable rate mortgage, commercial, and consumer
loans.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Collective Bank is required by regulation to maintain certain levels of
liquidity. Regulations currently in effect require that Collective Bank maintain
liquid assets of not less than 5% of its net withdrawable deposits and
short-term borrowings, of which at least 1% must be short-term liquid assets.
Management believes that Collective Bank was in compliance with these
requirements throughout the three years ended June 30, 1996. At June 30, 1996
and 1995, Collective Bank had total liquidity ratios of 5.2% and 5.5% and
short-term liquidity ratios of 2.5% and 3.0%, respectively.
Collective's net worth ratio increased from 6.10% at June 30, 1994 to 6.41%
at June 30, 1995 and 7.08% at June 30, 1996. (See note 16 to the consolidated
financial statements for a discussion of Collective Bank's regulatory capital
requirements.)
At June 30, 1996, capital resources were sufficient to meet outstanding loan
commitments of $126.4 million and commitments on unused lines of credit of
$123.8 million. At June 30, 1996, Collective had no other material commitments
for capital resources, other than a pending business combination. (See note 2 to
the consolidated financial statements.) Asset originations and purchases during
the three years ended June 30, 1996 were funded from normal sources including
cash collections of loan and MBS principal and interest, deposit flows,
borrowings, and business combinations.
In fiscal 1996, net cash provided by operating activities increased $26.7
million primarily because of proceeds from the sale of trading securities as
well as increases in net interest cash flow, financial service fees, other
income associated with demand deposit accounts, and reduced income taxes paid.
The decrease in cash provided by operating activities of $6.8 million from 1994
to 1995 resulted primarily from reduced net interest cash flow, increased
operating expenses, and increased income tax payments partially offset by
increased fee income.
Net cash used in investing activities decreased by $348.0 million from fiscal
1995 to fiscal 1996 because of decreased purchases of loans and MBS's, combined
with increased repayments of loan principal and cash generated from maturing
U.S. government and agency obligations, substantially offset by the absence of
any cash obtained in business combinations. The decrease of $619.4 million in
cash used for investing activities from 1994 to 1995 resulted from decreased
purchases of MBS's and loan originations partially offset by reduced loan and
MBS principal repayments, sale of MBS's, and cash obtained in business
combinations. The reduced investing activity in fiscal 1995 was caused by rising
interest rates which reduced loan demand in general and ended the refinancing
boom of the preceding two years. Other factors in the reduced investing activity
were the scarcity of suitable alternative investment vehicles as Collective
elected to reduce its purchases of CMO's.
Pursuant to Collective's investment policy, 83.1% of total loan originations
was retained for investment in fiscal 1996 compared to 93.6% in 1995 and 77.4%
in 1994.
Loan and MBS principal repayment collections were 12.0%, 10.5%, and 34.3% of
the average balances for fiscal 1996, 1995, and 1994, respectively. The decrease
from 1994 to 1995 resulted from reduced loan refinancings caused by rising
interest rates.
The sales of securities available for sale in 1995 consisted primarily of
U.S. government and agency obligations.
The decrease in deposit cash flows in 1996 compared to 1995 resulted from
increased demand deposits and reduced savings certificates as discussed in
"Financial Condition" on page 19. The increase in deposit cash flows from 1994
to 1995, before business acquisitions, was primarily in the six month, twelve
month, twenty-four month, and jumbo certificate of deposit categories as
depositors sought alternative investment vehicles with higher yields as deposit
rates decreased during most of 1995.
20
<PAGE>
Cash flows from Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") advances and other borrowings
decreased in fiscal 1996 compared to 1995 as Collective replaced maturing
borrowings with lower cost reverse repurchase agreements and dollar rolls. Cash
flows from FHLB advances and other borrowings decreased in fiscal 1995 compared
to 1994 as Collective reduced its purchases of MBS's compared with the preceding
two years and slowed its rate of asset growth. Assets grew by $35.0 million, or
0.7%, in 1996 compared to growth of $521.3 million, or 11.4%, in 1995, and
$1.123 billion, or 32.4%, in 1994.
As indicated in note 11 to the consolidated financial statements, 83.6% of
Collective's deposits at June 30, 1996 had no contractual maturity or
contractual maturities of one year or less. Approximately $974.9 million, or
30.0%, of such deposits are considered core deposits and not sensitive to
changing interest rates. Past experience indicates that any deposit runoff can
be replaced with new deposits through aggressive marketing and pricing
strategies or business acquisitions. During the three-year period ended June 30,
1996, Collective's level of deposits, without those obtained in business
acquisitions, remained virtually unchanged despite a generally unfavorable
interest-rate environment for depositors during that period. Therefore,
management does not anticipate any excessive runoff in the level of deposits in
the foreseeable future. If unforeseen circumstances should result in a
substantial decrease in Collective's level of deposits to the extent that a
potential liquidity problem occurs, Collective could alleviate such problem
through any of several available alternatives. These include the acquisition of
deposits through aggressive marketing and/or pricing strategies, the acquisition
of deposits through business combinations, the sale of available for sale
assets, borrowings, and capital additions.
Results of Operations
Collective's net income is determined primarily by the difference between the
interest earned on its investment, loan, and MBS portfolios and the interest
paid on its deposits and borrowings. Other primary factors in determining
Collective's profitability are its levels of other income and operating
expenses.
During the first eight months of fiscal 1994, Collective pursued a strategy
of increasing its earning assets by using short-term borrowings, primarily
repurchase agreements, to finance the purchase of medium-term MBS's, primarily
CMO's. In the final four months of fiscal 1994, Collective began to decrease the
use of this strategy in response to rising interest rates and a flattening yield
curve. During fiscal 1995 Collective further reduced this leveraging strategy as
interest rates continued to rise. Although interest rates generally declined in
fiscal 1996, the effect on net interest income was not material because of a
much flatter yield curve. Longer-term interest rates decreased much more than
did shorter-term interest rates. The spread between 30-year U.S. Treasury Bonds
and 3-month U.S. Treasury Bills averaged 1.27%, 2.03%, and 3.33% in fiscal 1996,
1995, and 1994, respectively(2).
The leveraging strategy resulted in cumulative increased average borrowings
of $581.5 million, $1.259 billion, and $1.259 billion in fiscal 1994, 1995, and
1996, respectively. The net interest spread resulting from the leveraging
activities averaged 2.92%, 1.25% and 1.20% in fiscal 1994, 1995, and 1996,
respectively. These spreads produced additional net interest income of
approximately $17.0 million, $15.7 million, and $15.1 million in those years,
respectively. Collective discontinued this leveraging strategy because of the
declining spread and a desire not to incur additional interest-rate risk through
increased short-term borrowings.
Net income for the year ended June 30, 1996 decreased $3.0 million, or 5.29%,
from fiscal 1995 because operating expenses increased $5.1 million, or 7.7%, due
to continued expansion of the retail and commercial banking operations combined
with an increase in the provision for loan losses of $1.8 million because of the
growth in the loan portfolio, particularly commercial loans. These factors were
partially offset by an increase in net interest income of $1.3 million, an
increase in other income of $2.2 million, and a decrease in income taxes of $0.3
million.
The increase in net interest income in 1996 resulted from growth in average
interest-earning assets of $217.9 million resulting from the business
acquisition in late fiscal 1995 and other asset growth, offset by a reduction in
the net interest margin from 3.00% in 1995 to 2.89% in 1996. The decrease in the
net interest margin was comprised of an 8 basis point gain in the yield on
interest-earning assets while the cost of funds increased 19 basis points. The
increase in other income resulted from increased gains on the sale of loans and
securities and an increase in financial service fees. Financial service fee
income increased in 1996 because of the growth in checking deposits and a more
aggressive strategy in charging and collecting fees related to deposit accounts.
Loan servicing income increased in 1996 as loans serviced for others increased
from $695.1 million at June 30, 1995 to $707.8 million at June 30, 1996. Gain on
sale of loans and securities increased in 1996 as a smaller portion of
Collective's loan originations were retained for investment and declining
long-term interest rates increased the gains on most sales.

<PAGE>
The increase in operating expenses from 1995 to 1996 generally resulted from
the 1995 business combination and other asset growth. Loan expense increased in
1996 despite lower loan originations because of costs associated with increased
commercial lending activity.
Net income for the year ended June 30, 1995 decreased $1.8 million, or 3.1%,
from fiscal 1994 primarily because net interest income before provision for loan
losses decreased $5.4 million, or 3.7%, and operating expenses increased $6.8
million, or 11.6%. These factors were partially offset by a decrease in the loan
loss provision of $2.1 million, an increase in other income of $5.8 million, and
a decrease in income taxes of $2.4 million.
The decrease in net interest income during 1995 resulted from a decline in
the net interest margin from 3.86% in 1994 to 3.00% in 1995. The decrease in the
net interest margin was comprised of a 4 basis point gain in the yield on
interest-earning assets while the cost of funds increased 90 basis points. The
decrease in the net interest margin was partially offset by growth in average
interest-earning assets of $906.1 million resulting from the business
acquisitions in late fiscal 1994 and fiscal 1995 and other asset growth.
Other income increased in 1995 primarily because of the non-recurring charge
of $5.6 million in 1994 for the unrealized depreciation on CMO's that were
transferred from available for sale to held to maturity in accordance with
revised Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS") regulatory policy. This amount is
being accreted back into income over the remaining lives of the securities.
Financial service fee income increased in 1995 because of the growth in checking
deposits and a more aggressive strategy in charging and collecting fees related
to deposit accounts. Loan servicing income decreased in 1995 as loans serviced
for others decreased from $725.4 million at June 30, 1994 to $695.1 million at
June 30, 1995 because of refinancings in the preceding two years and the smaller
volume of loan sales in 1995.
Other expense increased in 1995 compared to 1994 primarily as a result of the
business combinations and other asset growth.
Collective's ratio of classified assets, which include both non-performing
loans and real estate acquired in settlement of loans, to total assets was
0.40%, 0.39%, and 0.69% at the end of fiscal 1996, 1995, and 1994, respectively.
Net classified assets amounted to $20.5 million, $20.1 million, and $31.5
million at the end of those years. During fiscal 1996, Collective increased its
general provision for loan losses to provide for potential losses against the
higher risk characteristics of an increased portfolio of commercial loans. In
1995 and 1994, Collective was able to reduce its loan loss provisions as
classified assets were reduced through effective management and disposition of
such assets. In addition to a reduction in the amount of classified assets in
1995 and 1994, the quality of the inventory improved as older foreclosed assets
were disposed of and many seriously delinquent loans were foreclosed or brought
current. Additionally, collection efforts generally were intensified. A trend of
stabilization in real estate values during the period was another contributing
factor to the improved classified asset ratios as were lower monthly payments
for many borrowers who refinanced their mortgage loans in 1993 and 1994. See
note 1 to the consolidated financial statements for a discussion of the factors
that management considers in making provisions for potential loan and real
estate losses.
Collective's ratio of operating expenses to average assets was 1.28%, 1.28%,
and 1.41% in fiscal 1996, 1995, and 1994, respectively, as Collective was able
to integrate the business combinations and other asset growth in an efficient
manner.
The effective income tax rate was 35.7%, 34.7%, and 35.8% in fiscal 1996,
1995, and 1994, respectively. The lower rate in 1995 resulted from certain
unanticipated income tax refunds and increased tax-exempt income.
Financial Institution Legislation and Regulation.
Collective Bank is subject to extensive regulation, supervision, and
examination by the OTS, as its chartering authority and primary federal
regulator, and by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"), which
insures its deposits up to applicable limits. Such regulation and supervision
establish a comprehensive framework of activities in which an institution can
engage and are intended primarily for the protection of the insurance fund and
depositors. The regulatory structure also gives the regulatory authorities
extensive discretion in connection with their supervisory and enforcement
activities. Any change in such regulation, whether by the OTS, the FDIC, or the
Congress, could have a material impact on Collective Bank and its operations.
On December 19, 1991, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement
Act of 1991 (the "Act") became law. While the Act primarily addresses additional
sources of funding for the Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF") which insures the
deposits of banks, the Act also adopted a number of new mandatory supervisory
measures applicable to banks, savings and loan associations, and federal savings
banks such as Collective Bank. Those measures primarily were designed to reduce
the cost to the insurance funds of resolving problems presented by
undercapitalized institutions.
22
<PAGE>
For example, the regulatory agencies adopted regulations, effective December
19, 1992, providing for certain supervisory actions against undercapitalized
institutions. The severity of such action depends upon the degree of
undercapitalization. The federal regulatory agencies were also required to adopt
and enforce final regulations prescribing standards relating to a variety of
operating matters such as internal controls, information systems and external
audit requirements, loan documentation and credit underwriting, interest rate
exposure, asset growth and quality, and employee compensation. Most of those
regulations had been implemented by June 30, 1996. The Act also authorizes the
FDIC to assess deposit insurance premiums based on risk.
The Act has not had, nor is it expected to have, a material impact on the
financial condition or results of operations of Collective.
The deposits of savings institutions, such as Collective Bank, are presently
insured by the Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF"). SAIF and BIF are the
two insurance funds administered by the FDIC. On August 8, 1995, in recognition
of BIF achieving its mandated reserve ratio, the FDIC revised the premium
schedule for BIF members to essentially eliminate insurance premiums for
deposits of well capitalized and healthy institutions (as compared to the
current range of .23% to .31% of deposits for SAIF-insured institutions). The
lower premiums for BIF deposits became effective as of June 1, 1995. Without a
substantial increase in premium rates, the imposition of special assessments, or
other significant developments, such as a merger of SAIF and BIF, it is not
anticipated that SAIF will be adequately recapitalized until 2002. As a result
of the disparity in BIF and SAIF premium rates, SAIF members have been placed at
a significant competitive disadvantage in relation to BIF members with respect
to the pricing of loans and deposits and the ability to lower their operating
costs. At June 30, 1996, Collective Bank's SAIF and BIF assessment bases
amounted to $2.593 billion and $530.6 million, respectively.
See note 15 to the consolidated financial statements for a discussion of
proposed legislation affecting Collective Bank.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Collective Bancorp, Inc. and subsidiary ("Collective") follow accounting
principles and reporting practices normally followed by thrift institutions,
which are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. The more
significant accounting policies are summarized below.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Collective and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Collective Bank. Collective's
business is conducted primarily through Collective Bank and subsidiaries
("Collective Bank"). All significant intercompany transactions and balances have
been eliminated.
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 as of the dates of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during
the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and in banks, federal funds
sold and interest-bearing deposits and securities purchased under agreements to
resell with original maturities of three months or less.
Investment Policy
Collective classifies all mortgage-backed and investment securities as either
held to maturity, available for sale, or trading in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in
Debt and Equity Securities" ("SFAS 115").
Mortgage-backed and investment securities held to maturity are carried at
cost adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts over the
term of the related securities using the interest method. Collective has the
ability and positive intent to hold these securities to maturity, and,
accordingly, adjustments are not made for temporary declines in fair value below
amortized cost. A decline in the fair value of any held to maturity security
that is deemed other than temporary is charged to earnings. The investment in
Federal Home Loan Bank stock is carried at cost.
Mortgage-backed and investment securities classified as available for sale
are carried at fair (market) value with unrealized gains and losses excluded
from earnings and reported in a separate component of stockholders' equity.
Realized gains and losses are reported in earnings.
Trading securities are stated at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses are
included in earnings.
Loans Receivable
Loans receivable, other than loans held for sale, are stated at unpaid
principal balance less unearned discounts, unamortized premiums, net deferred
loan origination and commitment fees, and the allowance for loan losses.
Discounts and premiums are recognized in income using the level-yield method
over the estimated lives of the loans.
Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or market with any
unrealized losses charged to earnings.
Loan origination and commitment fees and certain direct loan origination
costs are deferred and the net fee or cost is recognized in interest income
using the level-yield method over the contractual life of the specifically
identified loans or recognized as the loans are sold or prepaid.
At the discretion of management, Collective provides an allowance for accrued
interest on loans which are more than 90 days past due. This allowance is netted
against accrued interest receivable, which is included in other assets for
financial statement purposes. Income is subsequently recognized only to the
28
<PAGE>
extent that cash payments are received and, in management's judgment, the
borrower's ability to make periodic interest and principal payments is probable,
in which case the loan is returned to accrual status.
Real Estate Acquired in Settlement of Loans
Real estate acquired in settlement of loans is carried at the lower of fair
value, less estimated costs to sell, or cost (carrying value or fair value at
the date of acquisition). Specific valuation allowances on real estate owned are
recorded through a charge to earnings if there is a further deterioration in
fair value. Subsequent costs directly related to the completion of construction
or improvement of the real estate are capitalized to the extent realizable.
Gains and losses on sale of real estate are recognized upon disposition of the
property to the extent allowable based on accounting requirements. Carrying
costs, such as maintenance, interest, and taxes, are charged to operations as
incurred.
Land, Office Buildings, and Equipment
Land, office buildings, and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated
depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line
method based on the estimated useful life of the related asset. The cost of
leasehold improvements is amortized over the estimated life of the improvement
or the term of the lease, whichever is shorter. The asset cost and accumulated
depreciation or amortization for property retirements and disposals are
eliminated from the respective accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is
included in income. The costs of maintenance and repairs are charged to
operating expense as incurred. The cost of major additions and improvements is
capitalized.
Income Taxes
Collective files a consolidated federal income tax return and separate state
tax returns. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("SFAS 109"), deferred income tax expense or
benefit is determined by recognizing deferred tax assets and liabilities for the
estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the
financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and
their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured
using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in
which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The
realization of deferred tax assets is assessed and a valuation allowance
provided, when necessary, for that portion of the asset which is not likely to
be realized. Management believes, based upon current facts, that more likely
than not there will be sufficient taxable income in future years to realize any
deferred tax assets. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a
change in tax rates is recognized in earnings in the period that includes the
enactment date.
Core Deposit Premium
The premium resulting from the valuation of core deposits acquired in
business combinations or in the purchase of branch offices is amortized using
the interest method over a period not exceeding the estimated average remaining
life of the existing customer deposit base acquired. Amortization periods are
monitored to determine if events and circumstances require such periods to be
reduced.
Goodwill
The cost in excess of the fair value of the net tangible and identified
intangible assets acquired in the purchase of a banking or thrift institution
("goodwill") is amortized to expense over the estimated remaining life of the
long-term interest-earning assets acquired. Goodwill recorded in the purchase of
branch offices is amortized to expense using the straight line method over the
estimated life of the deposits acquired, generally ten years.
Sale of Loans and Mortgage-Backed Securities
Gains and losses on the sale of loans and MBS's consist of both a cash and a
present value gain or loss. A cash gain or loss is recognized to the extent that
the sale proceeds exceed or are less than the carrying value of the loans and
MBS's at the time of sale. The carrying value is determined by adjusting the
29
<PAGE>
unpaid principal balance by net deferred loan fees, premiums, discounts, and the
portion of the basis allocated to capitalized (originated) mortgage servicing
rights ("OMSR") in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 122, "Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights". A present value gain or
loss (excess servicing) relating to sales of MBS's and loans sold with servicing
retained is calculated based on the difference between the MBS or loan interest
rate and the net yield to the investor excluding a normal servicing fee and
considering estimated prepayments on such loans. The resulting servicing rights,
both OMSR and excess, are amortized in proportion to and over the estimated
period servicing income is earned using the level yield method. Amortization or
accretion of these amounts is monitored and adjusted, if necessary, on a
periodic basis to reflect prepayments if higher than originally anticipated.
Provisions for Losses
Provisions for losses include charges to reduce the carrying value of loans
receivable and real estate acquired in settlement of loans to their fair value.
Such provisions are based on management's estimates using past experience, known
and inherent risks in the loan and real estate owned portfolios, adverse
situations that may affect borrowers' ability to repay, estimated value of any
underlying loan collateral or real estate owned, and current economic
conditions. Provisions for losses on real estate acquired in settlement of loans
are included in real estate operations expense in the Statements of Consolidated
Operations. Recovery of the carrying value of such loans and real estate is
dependent to a great extent on conditions that may be beyond management's
control. In the opinion of management, Collective has made adequate loss
provisions based on all available and relevant information affecting the loan
and real estate portfolios. It must be understood, however, that there are
inherent risks and uncertainties related to the operation of a financial
institution. By necessity, Collective's consolidated financial statements are
dependent upon estimates, appraisals, and evaluations of loans. Therefore, the
possibility exists that abrupt changes in such estimates, appraisals, and
evaluations might be required because of changing economic conditions and the
economic prospects of borrowers.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In May 1993, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan" ("SFAS 114"). SFAS 114
addresses the criteria for accounting for loans that have been impaired. It
requires that impaired loans be measured based on the present value of expected
future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective rate or, as a practical
expedient, the loan's observable market price, or the fair value of the
collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. Although SFAS 114 is effective
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1994, Collective elected to adopt
the Statement for its fiscal year ended June 30, 1995. Upon adoption on July 1,
1994, Collective reclassified $17,307,000 of loans foreclosed in-substance and
$6,312,000 in related reserves from real estate acquired in settlement of loans
to loans receivable in the Statements of Consolidated Financial Condition.
In November 1993, the Accounting Standards Division of the American Institute
of Certified Public Accountants issued Statement of Position 93-6, "Employers'
Accounting for Employee Stock Ownership Plans" ("SOP 93-6"). This SOP provides
guidance on employers' accounting for employee stock ownership plans ("ESOP").
The SOP addresses measurement of compensation cost, the treatment of dividends
on shares held by an ESOP, and the financial reporting of leveraged and
nonleveraged ESOP transactions. Collective adopted SOP 93-6 effective July 1,
1994. The adoption did not have a material effect on Collective's financial
condition or results of operations.
In October 1994, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 118, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan" ("SFAS 118"). SFAS
118 amends SFAS 114 to eliminate the provisions that described how a creditor
should report income on an impaired loan. It also amends certain disclosure
requirements of SFAS 114. The Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 31, 1994, although earlier application is encouraged.
30
<PAGE>
Collective adopted the provisions of SFAS 118 during its fiscal year ended June
30, 1995. It did not have a material effect on Collective's financial condition
or results of operations.
In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of" ("SFAS 121").
SFAS 121 requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles to
be held and used by an entity be reviewed for impairment whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not
be recoverable. In performing the review for recoverability, the entity should
estimate the future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and
its eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected future cash flows is less
than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized. The
Statement also requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable
intangibles be reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost
to sell. The Statement is effective for Collective's fiscal year beginning July
1, 1996. The adoption of SFAS 121 is not expected to have a material effect on
Collective's financial condition or results of operations.
In May 1995, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
122, "Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights" ("SFAS 122"). SFAS 122 amends
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 65, "Accounting for Certain
Mortgage Banking Activities" ("SFAS 65"), to require that a mortgage banking
enterprise recognize as separate assets rights to service mortgage loans for
others, however those servicing rights are acquired. The Statement applies
prospectively in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995 although earlier
application is encouraged. Collective adopted the provisions of SFAS 122 in its
fiscal year ended June 30, 1995. The adoption did not have a material effect on
Collective's financial condition or results of operations (see note 7).
In October 1995, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS 123"). SFAS 123
establishes financial accounting and reporting standards for stock-based
employee compensation plans. Those plans include all arrangements by which
employees receive shares of stock or other equity instruments of the employer or
the employer incurs liabilities to employees in amounts based on the price of
the employer's stock. SFAS 123 also applies to transactions in which an entity
issues its equity instruments to acquire goods or services from nonemployees.
The Statement provides a fair value based method for measuring compensation cost
associated with stock-based compensation and also allows, as an alternative, the
intrinsic value based method which is prescribed by Accounting Principles Board
Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB 25"). Since
most stock compensation plans have no intrinsic value at grant date, the latter
method often results in no recognition of compensation cost. Under SFAS 123
entities that elect to remain with the intrinsic value based method must also
make pro forma disclosures of net income and, if presented, earnings per share,
as if the fair value based method of accounting had been applied. The Statement
applies to transactions entered into in fiscal years that begin after December
15, 1995, though they may be adopted on issuance. Pro forma disclosures required
for entities that elect to measure compensation cost using the intrinsic value
based method must include the effects of all awards granted in fiscal years that
begin after December 15, 1994. Collective intends to continue accounting for
stock-based compensation under APB 25 and will include the pro forma disclosures
required by SFAS 123 in financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning
July 1, 1996.
In June 1996, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
125, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and
Extinguishments of Liabilities" ("SFAS 125"). SFAS125 amends portions of SFAS
115, amends and extends to all servicing assets and liabilities the accounting
standards for mortgage servicing rights now in SFAS 65, and supersedes SFAS 122.
The Statement provides consistent standards for distinguishing transfers of
financial assets that are sales from transfers that are secured borrowings.
Those standards are based upon consistent application of a financial components
approach that focuses on control. The Statement also defines accounting
treatment for servicing assets and other retained interests in the assets that
are transferred. SFAS 125 is effective for transfers and servicing of financial
assets and extinguishments of liabilities occurring after December 31, 1996 and
is to be applied prospectively. The adoption of the Statement is not expected to
have a material effect on Collective's financial condition or results of
operations.

Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the consolidated financial statements of prior years have
been reclassified to conform with the presentation used in the current year.
2. Business Combinations
On May 21, 1996, Collective entered into an agreement to acquire Continental
Bancorporation, a state chartered commercial bank with assets of approximately
$187,000,000 (unaudited) at June 30, 1996. The acquisition is subject to
regulatory approval, is anticipated to be completed by December 1996, and will
be accounted for under the purchase method of accounting.
On April 21, 1995, Collective purchased certain assets and assumed the
deposit account liabilities of seven offices of Sovereign Bancorp, Inc.
("Sovereign") pursuant to an agreement entered into on January 17, 1995. As part
of this same agreement, Sovereign purchased certain assets and assumed the
deposit account liabilities of Collective's Wilmington, Delaware office. The net
deposit liabilities assumed by Collective amounted to $99,818,000 and the net
assets received, consisting primarily of cash, amounted to $92,210,000. The fair
value of liabilities assumed exceeded the fair value of tangible assets acquired
by $8,334,000. This was allocated to core deposit premium and goodwill of
$2,819,000 and $5,515,000, respectively. The acquisition was accounted for by
the purchase method.
On May 6, 1994, Collective purchased certain assets and assumed the deposit
account liabilities of White Horse Federal Savings and Loan Association from the
Resolution Trust Corporation. The deposit liabilities assumed amounted to
$37,494,000, and the assets received consisted primarily of cash amounting to
$35,322,000. The fair value of liabilities assumed exceeded the fair value of
tangible assets acquired by $2,315,000. This was allocated to core deposit
premium and goodwill of $1,359,000 and $956,000, respectively. The acquisition
was accounted for by the purchase method.
On April 15, 1994, Collective purchased certain assets and assumed the
deposit account liabilities of Hansen Federal Savings Bank from the Resolution
Trust Corporation. The deposit liabilities assumed amounted to $248,605,000, and
the assets received consisted primarily of cash amounting to $231,073,000. The
fair value of liabilities assumed exceeded the fair value of tangible assets
acquired by $19,811,000. This was allocated to core deposit premium and goodwill
of $6,220,000 and $13,591,000, respectively. The acquisition was accounted for
by the purchase method.
The following summarizes the business combinations of Collective during the
three years in the period ended June 30, 1996, all of which were accounted for
by the purchase method of accounting:

3.Fair Values of Instruments
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair
Value of Financial Instruments" ("SFAS 107"), requires disclosure of fair value
information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized on the
balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate that value. The fair
value of financial instruments is the amount at which an asset or obligation
could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than
in a forced liquidation. Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in
time based on the type of financial instrument and relevant market information.
Because no quoted market price exists for a significant portion of
Collective's financial instruments, the fair values of such financial
instruments are derived based on the amount and timing of future cash flows,
estimated discount rates, as well as management's best judgment with respect to
current economic conditions. Many of these estimates involve uncertainties and
matters of significant judgment and cannot be determined with precision.
The fair value information provided is indicative of the estimated fair
values of those financial instruments and should not be interpreted as an
estimate of the value of Collective, taken as a whole. The disclosures do not
address the value of recognized and unrecognized non-financial assets and
liabilities or the value of future anticipated business.

</TABLE>

<PAGE>
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of
financial instruments:
Cash and cash equivalents - The carrying amount of these items is a reasonable
estimate of their fair value.
Trading securities, loans held for sale, and securities available for sale - The
fair value of these items is calculated by using the quoted market price of
securitized loans and securities.
Investment securities - The fair values are based on quoted market prices or
dealer quotes. The fair values of restricted equity securities are estimated
to approximate their carrying values.
Loans receivable - For certain homogeneous categories of loans, such as fixed
and variable residential mortgages, fair value is estimated using quoted
market prices for securities backed by similar loans, adjusted for
differences in loan characteristics. The fair value of other loan types is
estimated by discounting the future cash flows and prepayments using the
current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar
credit ratings and for the same remaining term. Some loan types were fair
valued at carrying value because of their floating rate or expected maturity
characteristics.
Mortgage-backed securities - Estimated fair value for mortgage-backed securities
issued by quasi-governmental agencies is based on quoted market prices where
available or discounted cash flows. The fair value of mortgage-backed
securities issued by non-quasi-governmental agencies is estimated based on
similar securities with quoted market prices and adjusted for any differences
in credit ratings or maturities.
Capitalized loan servicing rights - Capitalized loan servicing rights are
comprised of excess servicing and originated mortgage servicing rights
("OMSR") in accordance with SFAS 122. The fair value of excess servicing on
loans serviced for others was determined based on the estimated discounted
net cash flows to be received less the normal costs of servicing. The
estimated fair value of OMSR approximates the amount for which the servicing
currently could be sold.
Deposits - The fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts, and money market
accounts is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair
value of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit is estimated using the rates
currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.
FHLB advances and other borrowed funds - Estimated fair value is based on rates
currently available to Collective Bank for debt with similar remaining
maturities.
Loan servicing rights - The fair value of off balance sheet loan servicing
rights approximates the amount for which the servicing currently could be
sold.
Core deposit valuation - The estimated fair value ascribed to core deposits is
calculated based on an estimate of cost savings from the low cost of such
deposits over their estimated life, discounted using an incremental cost of
funds rate.
4. Securities Purchased Under Agreements to Resell
Collective enters into purchases of securities under agreements to resell.
There were no agreements outstanding at June 30, 1996 and 1995, but during the
year securities purchased under agreements to resell were delivered by entry
into accounts maintained by Collective Bank at the Federal Reserve Bank of
Philadelphia. These securities averaged $17,461,000 and $57,714,000 for 1996 and
1995, respectively, with maximum amounts outstanding at any month-end of
$102,969,000 and $86,390,000, respectively.

Nonperforming (impaired) loans at June 30, 1996 and 1995 were $23,166,000 and
$21,876,000, respectively before specific allowances of $6,055,000 at June 30,
1996 and $5,753,000 at June 30, 1995. The allowance for delinquent interest on
loans (included in other assets) totalled $674,000 at June 30, 1996 and $655,000
at June 30, 1995. (See note 1, "Loans Receivable", for a discussion of
Collective's policy for recognizing interest income on impaired loans, including
the treatment of payments received.) Nonperforming loans averaged $24,650,000,
$26,077,000, and $38,768,000 for the years ended June 30, 1996, 1995, and 1994,
respectively. No interest income was recognized on those loans during the period
of impairment.
At June 30, 1996, 1995, and 1994 the balance of loans serviced for others was
$707,793,000, $695,069,000, and $725,440,000, respectively. Servicing loans
generally consists of collecting mortgage payments, maintaining escrow accounts,
disbursing payments to investors, and foreclosure processing. Loan servicing
income includes servicing fees from investors and certain charges collected from
borrowers, such as late payment fees. In connection with loans serviced for
others, Collective held borrowers' escrow balances of $7,566,000 and $8,086,000
at June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
At June 30, 1996 and 1995, Collective maintained an inventory of first
mortgage loans held for sale of $5,186,000 and $5,815,000, respectively. No
valuation allowance was established at June 30, 1996 and 1995 as the market
value of those loans exceeded their carrying value.
Collective originates and purchases adjustable and fixed interest rate loans.
At June 30, 1996, the composition of these loans was as follows:

The adjustable rate loans have interest rate adjustment limitations and are
generally indexed to the 1-year and 3-year U.S. Treasury Note rates and the
Federal Home Loan Bank Eleventh District cost of funds. Future market factors
may affect the correlation of the interest rate adjustment with the rates paid
on the short-term deposits and borrowings that have been primarily utilized to
fund these loans.
At June 30, 1996, 71% of loans receivable were collateralized by property
located in New Jersey while other major concentrations included the states of
Pennsylvania, Delaware, and New York with 9%, 5%, and 3%, respectively.

Expected maturities of mortgage-backed securities will differ from
contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay
obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties. At June 30, 1996 and
1995, mortgage-backed securities in the amount of $1,564,083,000 and
$1,118,679,000, respectively, including accrued interest, with respective market
values of $1,492,668,000 and $1,072,516,000, collateralized certain securities
sold under agreements to repurchase (see note 12). At June 30, 1996 and 1995,
the balance of unencumbered mortgage-backed securities was $512,365,000 and
$1,080,082,000, respectively.
Capitalized servicing rights recorded on the sale of loans and MBS amounted
to approximately $1,713,000, $531,000, and $2,134,000, respectively for the
years ended June 30, 1996, 1995, and 1994. The unamortized balance of
capitalized servicing rights was $4,232,000 and $3,832,000 at June 30, 1996 and
1995, respectively, and is included in other assets. During fiscal 1996, 1995,
and 1994, amortization of capitalized servicing rights amounted to $1,313,000,
$1,089,000, and $1,338,000, respectively. Net realized gains on the sale of
mortgage-backed securities were $1,202,000, $206,000, and $1,800,000 for the

At June 30, 1995, the weighted average interest rates on securities sold
under agreements to repurchase, other short-term borrowings, and ESOP debt were
5.94%, variable, and 8.77%, respectively.
Collective enters into sales of securities under fixed-coupon reverse
repurchase agreements and fixed-coupon dollar reverse repurchase agreements.
Such agreements are treated as financings, and the obligations to repurchase
securities sold are reflected as a liability in the Statements of Consolidated
Financial Condition. The dollar amount of securities underlying the agreements
are book entry securities. During the period of such agreements, the securities
were delivered by entry into the counterparty's account at the Federal Reserve
Bank of Philadelphia (or in the case of GNMA mortgage-backed securities, to MBS
Clearing Corporation or in the case of other mortgage-backed securities, to a
third-party custodian's account that explicitly recognizes Collective's interest
in the securities).
At June 30, 1996 and 1995, agreements outstanding to repurchase the same
securities were $1,179,526,000 and $826,651,000, respectively. At June 30, 1996
and 1995, agreements to repurchase substantially identical securities were
$286,454,000 and $217,945,000, respectively.
Agreements to repurchase the same securities and agreements to repurchase
substantially identical securities averaged $1,437,905,000 and $1,114,789,000
during the years ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively. The maximum amounts
outstanding at any month-end under such agreements during fiscal 1996 and 1995
were $1,595,501,000 and $1,375,212,000, respectively. Accrued interest payable

<PAGE>
on these agreements at June 30, 1996 and 1995 was $3,691,000 and $2,370,000,
respectively. The June 30, 1996 agreements will mature through July 29, 1996.
The June 1995 payable to brokers for securities purchased represents
the purchase of U.S. agency securities. The purchase closed in July 1995 and was
funded by the liquidation of short-term investments (cash equivalents) and
short-term borrowings.
13. Income Taxes
The income tax provision is comprised of the following components:

The liability for income taxes at June 30, 1996 and 1995 in the Statements
of Consolidated Financial Condition (included in other liabilities) includes a
net deferred tax liability of $3,222,000 and $2,060,000, respectively that have
been provided for the temporary differences between the tax bases and financial
statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities. The liability at June
30,1996 and 1995 includes $613,000 and $1,202,000, respectively, recorded as a
result of the adoption of SFAS 115 which is netted against the unrealized
appreciation adjustment recorded in stockholders' equity.
The major sources of temporary differences and their deferred tax effects

Savings banks that meet certain definitions, tests, and other conditions
prescribed by the Internal Revenue Code ("IRC") are allowed to deduct, with
limitations, a bad debt deduction. This deduction can be computed as a
percentage of taxable income before such deduction or based upon actual loss
experience. During fiscal years 1996, 1995, and 1994, Collective employed the
percentage of taxable income method.
Pursuant to SFAS 109, Collective 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 $27,900,000. 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) Collective's retained earnings represented by this reserve
is used for purposes other than to absorb losses from bad debts, including
dividends or distributions in liquidation, (2) Collective fails to meet the
definitions, tests, or other conditions provided by the IRC for a qualified
Savings and Loan Association, or (3) there is a change in the federal tax law.
See note 16 for proposed changes to the IRC or federal tax law affecting the
bad debt deduction and tax loan loss reserve.
Collective recently completed an examination by the Internal Revenue Service
for the year ended December 31, 1991. There were no changes made to Collective's
taxable income as originally reported to the Internal Revenue Service
14. Benefit Plans
Collective maintains an Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP"), a defined
contribution plan covering all eligible employees. Prior to July 1, 1994,
Collective accounted for ESOP transactions in accordance with AICPA Statement of
Position 76-3, "Accounting Practices for Certain Employee Stock Ownership Plans"
("SOP 76-3"). Effective July 1, 1994, Collective adopted the provisions of SOP
93-6 which supersedes SOP 76-3. These accounting rules address the method of
measuring compensation, the classification of dividends on ESOP shares, and the
treatment of ESOP shares for the computation of earnings per share. Upon
adoption, SOP 93-6 applied to unallocated shares purchased by the ESOP after
December 31, 1992 while unallocated shares purchased prior to December 31, 1992
continued to be accounted for under SOP 76-3. At June 30, 1996, there were
407,679 unallocated shares in the ESOP. Of this total, 196,200 shares were
subject to SOP 76-3 while 211,479, comprised of 15,486 shares committed to be
released and 195,994 suspense shares (market value of $4,630,000 at June 30,
1996), were subject to SOP 93-6. Dividends received on allocated shares in the
ESOP are added directly to the participant accounts while dividends received on
unallocated shares are used toward repayment of principal on the ESOP debt.
Amounts committed to be released and, in turn, provided for repayment of loan
principal are recognized as compensation expense at fair value. Unallocated
shares falling under SOP 76-3 are considered to be outstanding in calculating
earnings per share. Unallocated shares subject to SOP 93-6 that have not been
committed to be released are not treated as outstanding in calculating earnings
per share. The ESOP allocated 118,985 and 134,723 shares of Collective's stock
to employees during the plan years ended November 30, 1995 and 1994,
respectively.
43
<PAGE>
Contributions to the ESOP are allocated among the participants based on
compensation. During 1988, the ESOP trustee entered into a loan agreement with a
commercial bank to borrow $1,900,000, which was used to finance the purchase of
480,280 shares of common stock of Collective. The loan had a term of seven years
with a rate equal to 90.1% of the prime rate of the commercial bank. This loan
was refinanced on December 30, 1991. The new note which had a term of thirty
nine months with a rate equal to 90.1% of the prime rate of the lender was paid
off on March 31, 1995. In November 1991, the ESOP trustee entered into another
loan agreement with a commercial bank to borrow $4,050,000, which was used to
finance the purchase of 492,593 shares of common stock of Collective. This loan
had a term of seven years with a floating rate tied to 265 basis points over the
Federal Funds effective rate established by the lender or 25 basis points over
the bank's prime rate, whichever method Collective elects to apply to future
periods on the annual anniversary date. To date, the Federal Funds effective
rate has been utilized and has proven to be lower than the prime rate
alternative. In June 1993, the ESOP trustee modified the agreement with the
commercial bank to provide an additional $5,000,000 line of credit. As of June
30, 1994, the entire line of credit had been drawn for the purchase of 242,836
shares. The additional $5,000,000 was an interest only loan for a period of two
years with interest calculated in the same manner as the original $4,050,000
loan discussed above. In June 1995 the loan began a ten year principal
repayment. At June 30, 1996, the total ESOP debt outstanding was $5,816,000.
Collective also has a voluntary thrift plan (a qualifying plan under 401K
of the Internal Revenue Code) in which substantially all of the employees are
eligible to participate. Annual contributions to the plan are made at the
discretion of the Board of Directors based upon the income of Collective as
defined and funded annually. Benefits under the plan are deferred until
retirement, termination, or withdrawal upon request. Contributions made for plan
years ended November 30, 1995, 1994, and 1993 were $902,835, $782,063, and
$766,359, respectively.
15. Commitments and Contingencies
At June 30, 1996 and 1995 Collective had outstanding mortgage loan
origination commitments of approximately $73,445,000 and $47,682,000,
respectively, with interest rates ranging from 4.25% to 11.88% and 3.00% to
9.50%, respectively. Of the total at June 30, 1996, variable rate commitments
totalled $57,779,000 at interest rates of 4.25% to 11.88% with the balance of
$15,666,000 representing fixed rate commitments at 6.00% to 11.88%. At June 30,
1995, variable rate commitments totalled $17,718,000 at interest rates of 3.00%
to 8.50% with the balance of $29,964,000 representing fixed rate commitments at
6.75% to 9.50%. At June 30, 1996 and 1995 Collective had outstanding
non-mortgage loan origination commitments of approximately $52,989,000 and
$53,974,000, respectively. Collective evaluates each customer's credit
worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if it is
deemed necessary upon extension of credit, is based on management's credit
evaluation of the counterparty. Management expects that these loans will be
disbursed within the next twelve months. At June 30, 1996 and 1995, Collective
had outstanding commitments on unused lines of credit of $123,822,000 and
$92,991,000, respectively. These commitments may not represent future cash
requirements since many commitments may not be drawn upon.
Collective and its subsidiary may, from time to time, be defendants in legal
proceedings relating to the conduct of their businesses. In the best judgement
of management, the consolidated financial position, results of operations, and
cash flows of Collective or its subsidiary will not be affected materially by
the final outcome of any pending legal proceedings or other contingent
liabilities and commitments.
Legislation pending in Congress would impose a one-time assessment, currently
estimated at between 75 and 85 basis points, on the amount of deposits held as
of March 31, 1995 by Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF")-member
institutions, including Collective Bank, a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Collective, to recapitalize the SAIF to the required level of 1.25% of insured
deposits. If the assessment is made at the 85 basis point proposed rate, the
effect on Collective Bank would be a pre-tax charge of approximately $22
million, or $14 million after tax (36% assumed tax rate).
44
<PAGE>
Certain proposed legislation also would require the recapitalized SAIF to be
merged with the Bank Insurance Fund into a new Deposit Insurance Fund no later
than January 1, 1998, provided the thrift charter has been eliminated by that
date. The elimination of the thrift charter, by requiring thrifts, including
Collective Bank, to convert to state or national commercial bank charters, would
be effected via separate legislation enacted by the end of calendar 1997.
Additional proposed legislation would repeal Section 593 of the IRC for
taxable years beginning after December 31, 1995. Section 593 allows certain
thrift institutions, including Collective Bank, to use a percentage-of-taxable
income bad debt accounting method, if more favorable than the specific
charge-off method, for federal income tax purposes. Since 1993, Collective has
used the percentage-of-taxable income method in its income tax returns.
The enactment of the proposed legislation could cause Collective's effective
income tax rate to increase, thereby negatively impacting net income.
Management cannot predict whether such proposals, or similar legislation,
will be enacted, or if enacted, the ultimate effect on Collective's financial
condition or results of operations, except as indicated above.
16. Stockholders' Equity
The OTS sets forth capital standards applicable to all thrifts. These
standards include a core capital requirement, a tangible capital requirement,
and a risk-based capital requirement. The following table presents Collective
Bank's position relative to the three capital requirements. Collective Bank
exceeds all of the requirements at June 30, 1996.
At June 30, 1996 Collective Bank exceeded the minimum capital requirements as
follows:

17. Stock Options
Collective has two stock option plans which call for a total of 1,696,000
shares of common stock to be reserved for issuance for the benefit of directors,
officers, and other key employees. Under the terms of the plans, options are
granted at not less than the fair market value of the shares at the date of
grant, require a two to five-year holding period before they may be exercised,
and may not have a maximum term of more than ten years. Activity in the stock
option plans for each of the three years ended June 30, 1994, 1995, and 1996 was
