(5) ACQUISITIONS
On February 18, 1999, the Company, through its Bank Subsidiary acquired
Certified Mortgage Associates Inc. ("CMA"), a Marlboro, New Jersey based
correspondent mortgage banker. The Company paid the shareholders of CMA
$2.8 million (the "Purchase Price"). The Purchase Price was paid in cash
and shares of the Company's common stock, with $1.7 million of the Purchase
Price paid in cash and $1.1 million paid in shares of the Company's common
stock, valued at the average of the bid ask price for the stock during the
first twenty trading days in the thirty day period prior to consummation of
the transaction. The Company issued 102,459 shares of its common stock. The
transaction was accounted for as a purchase and the company recognized $3.9
million in goodwill. The $2.8 million purchase price will amortize over
eight years and $1.1 will amortize over ten years.
The Company has entered into a definitive Purchase Agreement dated as of
July 23, 1999 pursuant to which it will acquire Einbinder Mortgage
Corporation, a New Jersey licensed mortgage banker ("Einbinder"). The
Company will pay $600,000 for Einbinder as follows: $150,000 in cash at
closing, $350,000 through delivery of a six month promissory note with an
interest rate of 10% and the issuance of $100,000 in market value of the
Company's common stock. Consummation of the transaction is subject to
certain regulatory approvals. The parties are currently in the process of
amending the agreement to a lower purchase price of $290,000. The Company
anticipates that this transaction will be accounted for using the purchase
method of accounting.
(6) SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
The Board of Directors declared a cash dividend on July 13, 1999.
Shareholders of record on August 10, 1999, received a $0.06 per share cash
dividend paid on August 25, 1999. The Board of Directors, on March 16,
1999, approved a stock repurchase program pursuant to which the Company may
repurchase from time to time up to 250,000 shares of its outstanding stock.
Shares purchased by the Company through the repurchase program will be used
to fund the dividend reinvestment program, the Company's stock option plans
and for other corporate purposes.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements - continued
As of September 30, 1999, the most recent notification from the Federal
Reserve Bank categorized the Parent Company as under capitalized and the
most recent notification from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
categorized the Bank as under capitalized under the regulatory framework
for prompt corrective action.
The Company has a 5.01% Tier I Leverage Ratio at September 30, 1999
compared to the federally-mandated minimum Tier I Leverage Ratio of 4.0%,
as compared to a 10.87% Ratio at December 31, 1998. The Bank has a 4.28%
Tier I Leverage Ratio at September 30, 1999 compared to the
federally-mandated minimum Tier I Leverage Ratio of 4.0%, as compared to a
7.09% Leverage Ratio at December 31, 1998. These decreases were primarily
due to the capitalization of leases related to the branch expansion program
and intangibles associated with the acquisition of CMA.
In addition to the capital adequacy requirements of the Federal Reserve
Board and the FDIC, discussed above, pursuant to the order of the New
Jersey Commissioner of the Department of Banking and Insurance approving
our recent acquisition of eight branch offices, the bank is required to
maintain a ratio of equity capital to total assets of at least 6% for the
next five years of operations. At September 30, 1999, the bank's ratio of
equity capital to average total assets was 4.28%. Because the Bank does not
currently meet this minimum, it is prohibited from paying dividends to the
Parent Company. As a result of the capital deficiency, the Company and the
Bank each agreed to enter into a memorandum of understanding with their
regulators which require them to raise capital, establish procedures to
provide updates to the regulators every 30 days on their progress, adopt
certain policies and review their management. In addition, the Company must
notify its regulators in writing 30 days prior to any proposal declaration
of dividends on its Common Stock.
Because the Bank failed to satisfy the minimum total risk-based capital
requirement of 8% at September 30, 1999, it was deemed to be
"undercapitalized" under the Prompt Corrective Action provisions of the
Federal Deposit Insurance Act and the regulations of the FDIC. Because of
this designation, the Bank is required to submit a capital plan to the FDIC
by December 15, 1999. In addition, the Bank is generally prohibited from
making capital distributions to the holding company, paying management fees
to any entity that controls the Bank or increasing its average assets until
the capital plan has been approved.
(8) RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
None
<PAGE>
(9) IMPAIRED ASSETS
During the fourth quarter of 1998, we discovered that we had been the victim of
an illegal check kiting scheme to a single customer. During the quarter
September 30, 1999, in light of the passage of time without significant
recoveries from the Company's ongoing litigation against the other financial
institution involved in the scheme and our view of the assets currently
available from the debtor and his affiliates to satisfy the Company's claims,
management recorded a write down of $786 thousand before tax against this asset.
The remaining balance of the asset is $344 thousand, which represents equity in
a house owned by the spouse of the debtor, who has agreed to turn the residence
over to the Company.
(10) POTENTIAL LEASE OBLIGATIONS
In August 1999, the Bank entered into leases or sublease for five (5) potential
branch locations. Under the terms of these leases or sublease, the annual lease
obligation in the base year of the leases or sublease is $428 thousand in the
aggregate and $471 thousand on a fully phased in basis beginning in the fourth
year of the lease term with increases thereafter based on increases in the
consumer price index. The lease terms range from 12 to 18 years. Payments on
these five leases or subleases were to commence on January 1, 2000. Subsequent
to September 30, 1999, the Bank provided the landlord under the leases or
subleases with notice to terminate each of the leases or sublease. Although no
legal action has been commenced, the landlord through its counsel, has indicated
that the landlord does not agree with the Bank's right to terminate the leases.
(11) OTHER EXPENSE

September 30, 1999 and 1998 are as follows:

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of
operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial
statements and the notes relating thereto included herein. When necessary,
reclassifications have been made to prior period's data throughout the following
discussion and analysis for purposes of comparability with prior period data.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 COMPARED TO
THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1998
Our results of operations depend primarily on our net interest income,
which is the difference between the interest earned on our interest earning
assets and the interest paid on funds borrowed to support those assets, such as
deposits. Net interest margin is a function of the difference between the
weighted average rate received on interest earning assets and the weighted
average rate paid on interest bearing liabilities, as well as the average level
of interest earning assets as compared with that of interest bearing
liabilities. Results of operations are also affected by the amounts of
non-interest income, which includes gains on sales of loans, including loans
originated under the SBA's Guaranteed Loan Program and home mortgage loans
originated for resale into the secondary market by our CMA subsidiary which was
acquired on February 18, 1999, operating expenses, and the provision for loan
losses.
NET INCOME (LOSS)
For the three months ended September 30, 1999, we incurred a net loss of
$1.7 million, or a loss of $0.45 per diluted share, compared to net income of
$663 thousand, or $0.20 per share, for the three months ended September 30,
1998. The loss incurred for the three months ended September 30, 1999 reflects
our non-interest expenses growing faster than our net interest income. Also
contributing to the loss was an increase in our provision for loan losses. For
the three months ended September 30, 1999, our non-interest expenses increased
by $3.5 million, or 136.0%, to $6.1 million from $2.6 million for the three
months ended September 30, 1998. Our interest expense increased by $1.9 million,
or 99.4%, to $3.7 million from $1.9 million for the comparable 1998 period. Our
interest income increased by $2.2 million, or 49.1%, to $6.8 million in the 1999
period from $4.5 million in the 1998 period. Net interest income grew by $376
thousand or 14.1% to $3.0 million in the 1999 period from $2.7 million in the
1998 period. Our other income decreased by $55 thousand, or 4.8%, over the
comparable period of 1998 to $1.1 million in 1999 from $1.2 million in 1998. In
addition, our provision for loan losses increased for the three months ended
September 30, 1999 by 340.1% over the comparable period of 1998 from $197
thousand to $867 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 1999. The
increases in our other non-interest expenses reflect the growth of our branch
network, as the bank opened ten new branches in the past year, as well as
non-interest expense associated with the operation of our CMA subsidiary
including amortization of goodwill incurred in connection with our purchase of
CMA. Non-interest expense associated with our operation of CMA totaled $2.0
million for the three months ended September 30, 1999. There were no expenses
associated with CMA during the same period in 1998. Our increase in interest
expense reflects increases in the level of deposits, as well as increases in
rates as a promotional tool to
2
<PAGE>
attract deposits at our new branches. Our increase in interest income reflects
increases in the level of earning assets as a result of increased deposits.
Included in our non-interest expense for the three months ended September
30, 1999 was a non-recurring write-down of $786 thousand regarding an
uncollected balance the bank has been carrying as an asset and which derived
from a previously disclosed check-kiting scheme. In light of the passage of time
without significant recoveries from our ongoing litigation against the other
financial institution involved in the scheme and our view of the assets
currently available from the debtor and his affiliates to satisfy our claims,
management elected to record this write-down. The company intends to pursue all
legal remedies available to obtain recoveries of uncollected amounts. The
remaining balance of this asset is $344 thousand, which represents equity in a
house owned by the spouse of the debtor, who has agreed to turn the residence
over to us.
NET INTEREST INCOME
Our net interest income increased by $376 thousand, or 14.1%, to $3.0
million for the three months ended September 30, 1999 from $2.7 million for the
three months ended September 30, 1998. The increase was primarily attributable
to an increase of $131.4 million in average earning assets for the current
three-month period totaling $353.2 million over the prior year's three-month
period totaling $221.8 million. The yield on the earning assets decreased from
8.20% for the three months ended September 30, 1998 to 7.67% for the three
months ended September 30, 1999, primarily due to the bank's shift to consumer
and mortgage lending during a lower rate environment as a response to continued
intense competition for commercial loans. During the third quarter, our CMA
subsidiary originated $61.1 million in loans for the bank's portfolio and the
bank purchased $30.3 million of home equity loans. Increases in interest-earning
assets were primarily funded through an increase of $170.5 million, or 82.2%, in
average deposits and borrowings to $377.8 million for the three months ended
September 30, 1999 from $207.3 million for the comparable period of 1998. During
the three months ended September 30, 1999, the cost of our interest bearing
liabilities has stayed relatively stable from the prior year period, increasing
to 4.53% for the current three-month period from 4.47% for the three months
ended September 30, 1998. However, our total cost of funds, including
non-interest bearing deposits, increased to 3.93% for the three months ended
September 30, 1999 from 3.60% for the three months ended September 30, 1998. The
increase in our cost of funds reflects the Company's decision to offer high,
promotional rates of interest to attract new customers to our new branch
locations, as well as a shift in our deposit portfolio away from non-interest
bearing deposits and toward time deposits and our money market product. The
promotional rates of interest were offered both on time deposits and through our
money market product, which paid an introductory rate of 6.05%. Although we had
discontinued offering this product at September 30, 1999, we again offered the
product in December 1999 in order to ease liquidity and provide funding for
committed loans. These higher rate products and our liquidity needs caused a
shift in our deposit portfolio toward higher rate products. Although the average
balance on non-interest bearing deposits increased to $49.8 million for the
three months ended September 30, 1999 from $40.4 million for the prior year
period, non-interest bearing deposits as a percentage of the deposit
portfolio decreased to 14.2% for the current year period from 20.1% for the
prior year period. These factors resulted in a decline in the company's net
interest margin to 3.46% in the 1999 period from 4.84% in the 1998 period.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES
Our provision for loan losses for the three months ended September 30, 1999
totaled $867 thousand, an increase of $670 thousand over the provision of $197
thousand for the three months ended September 30, 1998. The increase in our
provision for the three months ended September 30, 1999 over the comparable
prior year period reflects the increase in our loan portfolio and increased
charge-offs incurred during the quarter, as well as our analysis of the
estimated potential losses inherent in the loan portfolio based upon our review
of particular loans, the credit worthiness of particular borrowers and general
economic conditions. For the three months ended September 30, 1999, our average
loans (net of unearned income) totaled $274.2 million, an increase of $130.7
million, or 91.1% over average total loans of $143.4 million for the three
months ended September 30, 1998. In addition, during this period, our ratio of
non-performing loans to total loans decreased to .49% from 1.50% at September
30, 1998.
OTHER INCOME
Our other income, which consists of service charges on deposits, gains on
sales of securities and loans and other income decreased by $55 thousand, or
4.8%, to $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 1999 from $1.2
million for the three months ended September 30, 1998. This decrease primarily
represents a decrease of $266 thousand in the gain on sale of loans and a
decrease of $124 thousand on the gain/loss on the sale of securities. Partially
offsetting these decreases was our other income, representing other transaction
charges and fees on non-deposit
5
<PAGE>
services which increased by $355 thousand, or 152.4% to $588 thousand for the
three months ended September 30, 1999 from $233 thousand for the comparable
period of 1998. We sell loans into the secondary market both through our SBA
Guaranteed Loan Program and through our CMA subsidiary. The decline in the gain
on sale of loans for the three months ended September 30, 1999 is attributable
to a decrease of $186 thousand in the gain on the sale of SBA loans which sales
were negatively impacted by lower market prices, a decrease of $67 thousand in
the gain on the sale of mortgage loans because of our decision to keep CMA
mortgage loans in our portfolio instead of selling them in the secondary market,
and a decrease of $13 thousand in the gain on sale of other loans.
The increase in our other income of $355 thousand is primarily due to an
increase of $285 thousand in mortgage fees, an increase of $25 thousand in
interest on the cash surrender value of life insurance, an increase of $25
thousand in transaction charges on non-deposit services, and an increase of $20
thousand in miscellaneous income.
OTHER EXPENSES
Our other expenses increased to $6.1 million for the three months ended
September 30, 1999 from $2.6 million for the comparable period of 1998. We
experienced increases of $739 thousand in salaries and benefits which increased
to $2.0 million from $1.3 million, $454 thousand in occupancy expenses which
increased to $682 thousand from $228 thousand, and $2.3 million in other
operating expenses which increased to $3.4 million from $1.0 million during the
current three months ended September 1999 compared to the three months ended
September 30, 1998. The increases in salary and benefits and occupancy expenses
were substantially attributable to the increase in our branch network, as we
opened ten additional branches over the past year, as well as administrative
expenses from the operation of our CMA subsidiary. Increases reflect the
increased lease and other occupancy expenses associated with these branches, as
well as increases in salary expenses to hire personnel to operate the branches.
In addition, our salary expense increased because of the need to hire additional
administrative staff to oversee and administer the growth in our loan portfolio.
Other expenses were also impacted by the writedown of $786 thousand related to a
check kiting scheme which occurred in the fourth quarter of 1998 and which was
previously discussed.

(1) Includes a $786 thousand write-down of uncollected assets associated
with the check- kiting scheme.
The increases in professional services, office expense, communication
expense, bank services and FDIC insurance is the result of the addition of ten
new branches, our growth in assets and expenses incurred operating our CMA
subsidiary. Total other operating expenses incurred in connection with CMA were
$520 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 1999. There were no
expenses incurred in connection with CMA for the same period in 1998 since CMA
was acquired in February, 1999. The increase in advertising expense is the
result of increased marketing efforts and the increase in loan processing
expense is the result of additional volume and collection activity. Due to our
current capital status, we anticipate our FDIC insurance expense will increase.

INCOME TAX EXPENSE
For the three months ended September 30, 1999, we recognized a tax benefit
of $1.1 million related to the loss recognized for the three-month period, as
compared to an income tax provision of $388 thousand for the three months ended
September 30, 1998.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 COMPARED TO
THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1998
NET INCOME (LOSS)
For the nine months ended September 30, 1999, we incurred a net loss of
$1.6 million, or a loss of $0.42 per share on a diluted basis, compared to net
income of $1.6 million, or $0.48 per share, for the nine months ended September
30, 1998. The loss incurred for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 largely
reflects the growth in our non-interest expense due to the opening of ten new
branches, non-interest expenses of $3.6 million associated with the operation of
our CMA subsidiary and amortization of the goodwill created in our purchase of
CMA. For the nine months ended September 30, 1999, our non-interest expenses
increased by $7.2 million, or 95.1%, to $14.8 million from $7.6 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 1998. Because we acquired CMA using purchase
accounting, we recognized goodwill amortization expenses of $265 thousand during
the 1999 period. There were $9 thousand in goodwill amortization expenses
incurred in 1998, relating to the acquisition of the Bank's first branch from
the Resolution Trust Corporation. Also contributing to the loss was an increase
in our provision for loan losses. Our provision for loan losses increased for
the nine months ended September 30, 1999 by $1.1 million, or 222.4%, over the
comparable period of 1998, to $1.5 million compared to $474 thousand. The
increase in our provision for loan losses is largely the result of growth in our
loan portfolio, an increase in reserve factors we use to determine reserve
levels and increased charge-offs incurred during the nine month period ended
September 30, 1999, as well as our analysis of the estimated potential losses
inherent in our loan portfolio. These increased expenses were partially offset
by an increase in net interest income of $528 thousand.
Included in our non-interest expense items was a write-down of $786
thousand relating to a check-kiting scheme which occurred in the fourth quarter
of 1998. In light of the passage of time without significant recoveries from the
company's ongoing litigation against the other financial institution involved in
the scheme and the company's view of the assets currently available from the
debtor and his affiliates to satisfy the company's claims, management elected to
record this write-down. The company intends to pursue all legal remedies
available to obtain recoveries of uncollected amounts. The remaining balance of
this asset is $344 thousand, which represents equity in a house owned by the
spouse of the debtor, who has agreed to turn the residence over to us.
NET INTEREST INCOME
Our net interest income increased by $528 thousand, or 7.0% to $8.1 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 from $7.5 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 1998.
8
<PAGE>
The increase was the result of an increase in interest income in excess of
interest expense. The growth in interest income was primarily attributable to an
increase of $85.2 million in average earning assets for the current nine-month
period totaling $291.4 million over the prior year's nine-month period totaling
$206.2 million. The increases in average earning assets occurred across the
entire balance sheet, with increases in the securities portfolio and the loan
portfolio. Average loans equalled $212.5 million in the 1999 period, which
represented an increase of $76.6 million or 56.4% from the $135.9 million
recorded in the 1998 period. Growth in the loan portfolio was primarily
comprised of $82.2 million of adjustable rate mortgages originated between April
30, 1999 and September 30, 1999 by the bank's CMA subsidiary and $56.0 million
of purchased home equity loans, of which $25.7 million were purchased on May 27,
1999 and $30.3 million were purchased on July 12, 1999. As a result of the
increase in mortgages and home equity loans in our portfolio, the nine-month
yield on earning assets decreased from 8.38% for the nine months ended September
30, 1998 to 7.66% for the nine months ended September 30, 1999. These loans
generally have lower yields than our commercial loans.
Increases in interest-earning assets were primarily funded through an
increase of $105.7 million, or 52.0% in average deposits and borrowings to
$308.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 from $203.1 million
for the comparable period of 1998. During the nine months ended September 30,
1999, the cost of our interest bearing liabilities stayed stable from the prior
year period at 4.42%. However, our total cost of funds, including non-interest
bearing deposits, increased to 3.74% for the nine months ended September 30,
1999 from 3.54% for the nine months ended September 30, 1998. The increase in
our cost of funds reflects the Company's decision to offer high, promotional
rates of interest to attract new customers to our new branch locations, as well
as a shift in our deposit portfolio toward time deposits and our money market
product. The promotional rates of interest were offered both on time deposits
and through our money market product, which paid an introductory rate of 6.05%.
Although we had discontinued offering this product at September 30, 1999, we
again offered the product in December 1999 in order to ease liquidity and
provide funding for committed loans. These higher rate products and our
liquidity needs caused a shift in our deposit portfolio toward higher rate
products and away from non-interest bearing deposits. Although the average
balance on non-interest bearing deposits increased to $47.9 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 1999 from $40.3 million for the prior year period,
non-interest bearing deposits as a percentage of the deposit portfolio decreased
to 16.2% for the current year period from 19.9% for the prior year period. As a
result of these factors, our net interest margin declined to 3.70% during the
1999 period from 4.89% in the 1998 period.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES
Our provision for loan losses for the nine months ended September 30, 1999
totaled $1.5 million, an increase of $1.1 million over the provision of $474
thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 1998. The increase in our
provision for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 over the comparable prior
year period reflects both the increase in our loan portfolio, an increase in the
reserve factors we use to determine reserve levels and increased charge-offs
incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 1999, as well as our
analysis of the estimated potential losses inherent in the loan portfolio based
upon our review of particular loans, the credit worthiness of particular
borrowers and general economic conditions. For the nine months ended September
30, 1999, our average loans totaled $212.5 million, an increase of $76.6
million, or 56.4% over average total loans of $135.9 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 1998. In addition, during this period, our ratio of
non-performing loans to total loans decreased to 1.13% from 2.34% at December
31, 1998.
OTHER INCOME
Our other income, which consists of service charges on deposits, gains on
sales of securities and loans and other income increased by $2.4 million, or
77.0%, to $5.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 from $3.1
million for the nine months ended September 30, 1998. This increase primarily
represents an increase of $2.0 million in the gain on sale of loans
11
<PAGE>
attributable to $2.7 million in gains on sales of loans by our CMA subsidiary
partially offset by a decline of $700 thousand on sales of SBA loans compared to
the prior period. SBA loan sales were negatively impacted by lower market
prices. In addition, our other income, representing SBA servicing fees and other
fee income, increased by $567 thousand to $1.2 million, or 91.5% for the nine
months ended September 30, 1999 from $620 thousand for the comparable period of
1998.
OTHER EXPENSES
Our other non-interest expense increased $7.2 million, or 95.1%, to $14.8
million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 from $7.6 million for the
comparable period of 1998. We experienced increases of $2.8 million in salaries
and benefits, which increased to $6.6 million from $3.7 million, $952 thousand
in occupancy expenses which increased to $1.7 million from $765 thousand, and
$3.4 million in other operating expenses which increased to $6.5 million from
$3.1 million during the current nine months compared to the nine months ended
September 30, 1998. These increases were substantially attributable to the
increase in our branch network, as we opened ten additional branches over the
past year, and the acquisition of CMA during February. This acquisition was
accounted for as a purchase and the prior period does not reflect any operating
expenses associated with CMA. Total non-interest expense associated with CMA for
the nine months ended September 30, 1999 were $3.6 million. Increases reflect
the increased lease and other occupancy expenses associated with these branches,
as well as increases in salary expenses to hire personnel to operate the
branches. In addition, our salary expense increased because of the need to hire
additional administrative staff to oversee and administer the growth in our loan
portfolio. Other expenses were also impacted by the write-down related to the
check kiting of $786 thousand, which was previously discussed.

(1) Includes a $786 thousand write-down of uncollected assets associated with
the check-kiting scheme.
The increases in professional services, office expense, communication
expense, bank services and FDIC insurance is the result of the addition of ten
new branches, our growth in assets and expenses incurred operating our CMA
subsidiary. Total other operating expenses incurred in connection with CMA were
$762 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 1999. There were no
expenses incurred in connection with CMA for the same period in 1998. The
increase in advertising expense is the result of increased marketing efforts and
the increase in loan processing expense is the result of additional volume and
collection activity.
INCOME TAX EXPENSE
For the nine months ended September 30, 1999, we recognized a tax benefit
of $1.1 million related to the loss recognized for the nine-month period, as
compared to an income tax provision of $1.0 million for the nine months ended
1998.

FINANCIAL CONDITION AT SEPTEMBER 30, 1999
-----------------------------------------
Our total assets at September 30, 1999 increased to $437.6 million, an
increase of $183.0 million, or 71.9%, over assets of $254.6 million at December
31, 1998. Net loans increased $148.8 million to $313.8 million, or 90.2%, from
$165.0 million at December 31, 1998. Our securities portfolio increased $35.1
million to $76.1 million at September 30, 1999 from $40.9 million at December
31, 1998. Our growth in assets was primarily the result of our branch expansion
and related promotional activities, which increased our total deposits.
At September 30, 1999, our total deposits increased $151.1 million to
$377.9 million, or 66.6%, from total deposits of $226.9 million at December 31,
1998. These increases primarily reflect increases in our premium rate money
market account and jumbo certificates of deposit from municipalities in our
market area.
LOAN PORTFOLIO
At September 30, 1999, our net loans totaled $313.8 million, an increase of
$148.8 million, or 90.2%, from $165.0 million at December 31, 1998. The increase
in the loan portfolio reflects our branch expansion, the purchase of home equity
loans, as well as our decision to originate adjustable rate one-to-four family
residential mortgages for our portfolio through our CMA subsidiary. The $148.8
million increase in loans was comprised of $80.1 million of ARMS, $54.6 million
of home equity loans, $10.1 million of consumer loans and $4.0 million of other
commercial loans.
At September 30, 1999, the composition of our portfolio changed so that
residential, one-to-four family mortgages, including $54.6 million in home
equity loans, account for 51.9% of the total portfolio, compared to 15.9% at
December 31, 1998. Commercial and industrial loans account for 14.9% of the
portfolio at September 30, 1999, compared to 24.9% at December 31, 1998. Loans
secured by non-residential properties account for 18.0 % of the portfolio at
September 30, 1999, compared to 35.9% of the portfolio at December 31, 1998. Due
to the increasing competition for commercial and non-residential loans, we
anticipate that the portion of our portfolio consisting of one-to-four family
residential home mortgages will continue to increase as loans in process close,
however, we are no longer originating residential mortgages for our portfolio.
The following table sets forth the classification of our loans by major

ASSET QUALITY
Our principal interest earning assets are our loans. Inherent in the
lending function is the possibility that a customer may not perform in
accordance with the contractual terms of the loan. A borrower's inability to
repay a loan can create the risk of non-accrual loans, past due loans,
restructured loans and potential problem loans.

Our non-accrual loans decreased by $750 thousand from $2.3 million at
December 31, 1998 to September 30, 1999, when they totaled $1.5 million. The
decrease in non-accrual loans is substantially a result of charge-offs and a
$617 thousand nonaccrual loan that was replaced by a new loan to new borrowers.
The loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest are well
collateralized and in the process of collection. Subsequent to September 30,
1999 a non-accrual loan with a balance of $810 thousand was reclassified as an
REO property.
ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES
We attempt to maintain an allowance for loan losses at a sufficient level
to provide for potential losses in the loan portfolio. Loan losses are charged
directly to the allowance when they occur and any subsequent recovery is
credited to the allowance. Our allowance for loan losses totaled $2.2 million at
September 30, 1999 compared to $1.8 million at December 31, 1998. The increase
in the allowance is due to the continued increase in our loan portfolio, an
increase in the reserve factors that we use to determine reserve levels and
increased charge-offs incurred during the year to date, as well as our analysis
of the estimated potential losses inherent in the loan portfolio based upon our
review of particular loans, the credit worthiness of particular borrowers and
general economic conditions.

INVESTMENT SECURITIES
We maintain an investment security portfolio for asset-liability risk
control purposes and to provide an additional source of funds. The portfolio is
comprised of US Treasury securities, obligations of US Government and
Government-sponsored agencies, selected state and municipal obligations,
corporate securities and equity securities. Management determines the
appropriate security classification (i.e., available for sale, held to maturity
or trading) at the time of purchase. At September 30, 1999, our investment
security portfolio totaled $76.1 million, including $41.5 million in securities
available for sale and $34.5 million of securities held to maturity. This
represented an increase of $35.1 million over total investments securities of
$40.9 million at December 31, 1998. At September 30, 1999, no investment
securities were classified as trading securities. The increase in investment
securities represents the investing of new deposits in excess of loan demand
during the first two quarters of the year.
A comparative summary of securities available for sale and held to maturity
at September 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998 is as follows:

DEPOSITS
Deposits are our primary source of funds. For the nine months ended
September 30, 1999, our total deposits increased by $151.1 million, or 66.6%, to
$377.9 million at September 30, 1999 from $226.9 million at December 31, 1998.
Because of promotional efforts in connection with our new branches, our interest
paying demand deposits, which include our premium rate money market account,
increased by $63.0 million to $103.6 million at September 30, 1999 from $40.6
million at December 31, 1998, and our time deposits of over $100 thousand
increased by $56.8 million to $85.0 million at September 30, 1999 from $28.2
million at December 31, 1998. In addition, our time deposits of less than $100
thousand increased by $23.5 million to $97.2 million at September 30, 1999 from
$73.7 million at December 31, 1998. The result of these promotional activities
and increased reliance on time deposits of over $100 thousand was to increase
our cost of funds (including non-interest bearing deposits) to 3.74% for the
nine months ended September 30, 1999 from 3.46% for the year ended December 31,
1998. Although we had discontinued offering this product at September 30, we
reoffered the product in December 1999 in order to ease liquidity and provide
funding for committed loans.

INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY
The principal objectives of our asset and liability management function are
to establish prudent risk management guidelines, evaluate and control the level
of interest rate risk in balance sheet accounts, determine the level of
appropriate risk given our business focus, operating environment, capital, and
liquidity requirements, and actively manage risk within the Board approved
guidelines. We seek to reduce the vulnerability of our operations to changes in
interest rates, and actions in this regard are taken under the guidance of the
Asset/Liability Management Committee ("ALCO") of the Board of Directors. The
ALCO reviews our maturities and repricing of loans, investments, deposits and
borrowings, cash flow needs, current market conditions, and interest rate
levels.
20
<PAGE>
We use various techniques to evaluate risk levels on both a short and
long-term basis. One of the monitoring tools is the "gap" ratio. A gap ratio as
a percentage of assets is calculated to determine the maturity and repricing
mismatch between interest rate-sensitive assets and interest rate-sensitive
liabilities. A gap is considered positive when the amount of interest
rate-sensitive assets repricing exceeds the amount of interest rate-sensitive
liabilities repricing in a designated time period. A positive gap should result
in higher net interest income with rising interest rates, as the amount of
assets repricing exceeds the amount of liabilities. Conversely, a gap is
considered negative when the amount of interest rate-sensitive liabilities
exceeds interest rate-sensitive assets, and lower rates should result in higher
net interest income.
The following table sets forth the gap ratio at September 30, 1999.
Assumptions regarding the repricing characteristics of certain assets and
liabilities are critical in determining the projected level of rate sensitivity.
Certain savings and interest checking accounts are less sensitive to market
interest rate changes than other interest-bearing sources of funds. Core
deposits such as demand interest, savings, and money market deposits are
allocated based on their expected repricing in relation to changes in market
interest rates. As an example, the rate on demand interest accounts is expected
to increase just 1/3 of a 1% of the change in Federal Funds rate. Accordingly,
1/3 or 33% of the balances are represented on the table as repricing within six
months.
Repricing of mortgage-related investments are shown by contractual
amortization and estimated prepayments based on the most recent 3-month constant
prepayment rate. Callable agency securities are shown based upon their
option-adjusted spread modified duration date ("OAS"), rather than the next call
date or maturity date. The OAS date considers the coupon on the security, the
time to next call date, the maturity date, market volatility, and current rate
levels. Fixed rate loans are allocated based on expected amortization.
Other models are also used in conjunction with the static gap table, which
is not able to capture the risk to changing spread relationships over time, the
effects of projected growth in the balance sheet, or dynamic decisions such as
the modification of investment maturities as a rate environment unfolds. For
these reasons, a simulation model is used, where numerous interest rate
scenarios and balance sheets are combined to produce a range of potential income
results. Net interest income is managed within guideline ranges for interest
rates rising or falling by 300 basis points. Results outside of guidelines
require action by the ALCO to correct the imbalance. Simulations are typically
created over a 12-24 month time horizon. At September 30, 1999, these
simulations show that with a 300 basis point increase in interest rates, our net
interest income would show a 13.8% decline. A 13.8% decline in net interest
income would have resulted in a reduction of $1.8 million in net income. A
decline of 300 basis points in interest rates would increase our net interest
income 11.4%. These variances in net interest income are not within our
board-approved guidelines of +/-7%.
Finally, to measure the impact of longer-term asset and liability
mismatches beyond two years, we utilize Modified Duration of Equity and Economic
Value of Portfolio Equity ("EVPE") models. The modified duration of equity
measures the potential price risk of equity to changes in interest
21
<PAGE>
rates. A longer modified duration of equity indicates a greater degree of risk
to rising interest rates. Because of balance sheet optionality, an EVPE analysis
is also used to dynamically model the present value of asset and liability cash
flows, with rate shocks 200 basis points. The economic value of equity is likely
to be different as interest rates change. Like the simulation model, results
falling outside prescribed ranges require action by the ALCO. The bank's
variance in the economic value of equity as a percentage of assets with rate
shocks of 200 basis points is a decline of 3.14% in a rising rate environment
and an increase of 2.4% in a falling rate environment. The decline of 3.14% in
the EVPE in a rising interest rate environment is not within board-approved
guidelines of +/-3%.
22
<PAGE>
The Company is taking several specific actions to bring the gap ratios
within board approved levels. Investment portfolio cash flows are utilized to
pay down short-term borrowings. Core deposit growth will replace short-term
large CD balances. Competitive rates are being offered on longer term
certificates of deposit. The Company is focusing on floating rate SBA loan
originations.

LIQUIDITY
Bank Holding Company
The principal source for funds for the holding company are dividends paid
by the bank. The bank is currently restricted from paying dividends to the
holding company because its tier 1 capital to average assets ratio is less than
six percent. Because of our capital ratios, the company has agreed to enter into
a memorandum of understanding with its regulators. The memorandum require the
company to raise capital, establish procedures to provide updates to the
regulators every 30 days on our progress, adopt certain policies and review our
management. In addition, the company must notify its regulators in writing 30
days prior to any proposed declaration of dividends on its common stock. See
"Capital." At September 30, 1999 the company had $2.2 million in cash and $713
thousand in marketable securities, valued at fair market value.
Bank
Liquidity is a measure of our ability to fund loans, withdrawals or
maturities of deposits and other cash outflows in a cost-effective manner. Our
principal sources of funds are deposits, scheduled amortization and prepayments
of loan principal, sales and maturities of investment securities and funds
provided by operations. While scheduled loan payments and maturing investments
are relatively predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments
are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and
competition.
Our total deposits amounted to $377.9 million, as of September 30, 1999. We
have augmented liquidity from our deposit portfolio with borrowings from the
FHLB of New York. At September 30, 1999, the balance of these borrowings was $30
million. At September 30, 1999, we could have borrowed an additional $15 million
from the FHLB of New York.
As of September 30, 1999, we hold municipal deposits from two
municipalities totaling $67.9 million. These deposits are of short duration, and
are very sensitive to price competition. If these deposits were to be withdrawn,
in whole or in part, it would negatively impact our liquidity. At September 30,
1999, we also had commitments to fund approximately $30 million in residential
mortgage loans through our CMA subsidiary.
To increase our liquidity, in December 1999 we again offered higher rate
money market accounts. Although these accounts may increase our interest
expense, they will help us meet our liquidity needs.

CAPITAL
A significant measure of the strength of a financial institution is its
capital base. Our federal regulators have classified and defined capital into
the following components: (1) tier 1 capital, which includes tangible
shareholders' equity for common stock and qualifying preferred stock, and (2)
tier 2 capital, which includes a portion of the allowance for loan losses,
certain qualifying long-term debt and preferred stock which does not qualify for
tier 1 capital. Minimum capital levels are regulated by risk-based capital
adequacy guidelines which require a bank to maintain certain capital as a
percent of assets and certain off-balance sheet items adjusted for predefined
credit risk factors (risk-adjusted assets). A bank is required to maintain, at a
minimum, tier 1 capital as a percentage of risk-adjusted assets of 4.0% and
combined tier 1 and tier 2 capital as a percentage of risk-adjusted assets of
8.0%.
In addition to the risk-based guidelines, our regulators require that a
bank which meets the regulator's highest performance and operation standards
maintain a minimum leverage ratio (tier 1 capital as a percentage of tangible
assets) of 4%. For those banks with higher levels of risk or that are
experiencing or anticipating significant growth, the minimum leverage ratio will
be proportionately increased. Minimum leverage ratios for each bank are
evaluated through the ongoing regulatory examination process.
In connection with our branch expansion the New Jersey Department of
Banking and Insurance imposed a tier 1 capital to total assets ratio of 6%. At
September 30, 1999, the bank's leverage ratio of tier 1 capital to average
assets was 4.28%, less than the 6% required by the New Jersey Department of
Banking and Insurance. The bank may not pay dividends to the holding company
when its ratio is less than six percent. In addition, at September 30, 1999, the
company's and the bank's total capital to risk weighted assets were 7.20% and
6.29%, respectively. A minimum rate of 8% is required by the Federal Reserve and
FDIC. As a result of the capital deficiency, the company and the bank each
agreed to enter into a memorandum of understanding with their regulators which
requires them to raise capital, establish procedures to provide updates to the
regulators every 30 days on their progress, adopt certain policies and review
their management. In addition, the company must notify its regulators in writing
30 days prior to any proposed declaration of dividends on its common stock.
Because the bank failed to satisfy the minimum total risk-based capital
requirement of 8% at September 30, it was deemed to be "undercapitalized" under
the Prompt Corrective Action provisions of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and
the regulations of the FDIC. Because of this designation, the bank was required
to submit a capital plan to the FDIC. In addition, the bank is generally
prohibited from making capital distributions to the holding company, paying
management fees to any entity that controls the bank or increasing its average
assets until the capital plan has been approved. In addition, the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System, our primary regulator, will also
prevent our ability to pay dividends regardless of whether the bank has
sufficient cash.
