INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

Penn Federal Savings Bank
401(k) Plan Trustees
West Orange, New Jersey

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
of Penn  Federal  Savings  Bank 401(k) Plan (the "Plan") as of June 30, 1999 and
1998, and the related  statement of changes in net assets available for benefits
for  the  year  ended  June  30,  1999.  These  financial   statements  are  the
responsibility  of the Plan's  management.  Our  responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements 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  financial  statements  present  fairly,  in all material
respects,  the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of June 30, 1999
and 1998,  and the changes in net assets  available  for  benefits  for the year
ended June 30, 1999 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Our audits  were  conducted  for the  purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules of Assets Held
for  Investment  Purposes and  Reportable  Transactions  are  presented  for the
purpose  of  additional  analysis  and are  not a  required  part  of the  basic
financial   statements  but  are  supplementary   information  required  by  the
Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations  for Reporting and Disclosure  under
the Employee  Retirement  Income  Security Act of 1974.  These schedules are the
responsibility  of Plan  management.  Such  schedules have been subjected to the
auditing procedures applied in our audit of the basic 1999 financial  statements
and, in our opinion,  are fairly stated in all material respects when considered
in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

PENN FEDERAL SAVINGS BANK 401(k) PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A.    PLAN DESCRIPTION

      The  following  description  of the Penn Federal  Savings Bank 401(k) Plan
      (the "Plan") provides only general information.  Participants should refer
      to  the  Plan  document  for a more  complete  description  of the  Plan's
      provisions.

      1.   Plan  Agreement  - The  Plan was  established  January  1,  1990 as a
           defined  contribution plan.  Employees become eligible to participate
           in the Plan on January 1, April 1, July 1, or October 1,  immediately
           after  obtaining age twenty and one-half and completing  three months
           of service,  working  1,000 hours at Penn  Federal  Savings Bank (the
           "Bank").

      2.   Contributions

            (a)   Salary Deferral Contributions - An eligible employee may elect
                  to have a percentage of compensation  contributed to this Plan
                  on a pre-tax salary  reduction  basis. A participant may elect
                  to  defer  between  1% and 15% of their  compensation  under a
                  Salary   Reduction   Agreement  to  the  Plan.   Additionally,
                  participants  may  contribute  an amount  not to exceed 10% of
                  compensation  on an after  tax basis  and may  allocate  their
                  contributions  to eight different  investment funds and to the
                  common stock of PennFed Financial  Services,  Inc. In no event
                  can  the  total  amount  deferred  exceed  $10,000   (adjusted
                  annually).
            (b)   Matching  Employer  Contributions  - Pursuant to an  amendment
                  approved  by the  Bank's  Board  of  Directors,  the  employer
                  matching contribution is a discretionary matching contribution
                  that  varies  between  25%  and  100%  of  the   participant's
                  contribution (subject to certain limitations) depending on the
                  Bank's financial performance.
            (c)   Vesting - Participants are always vested with respect to their
                  contributions  plus  actual  earnings  thereon.  Vesting  with
                  respect to the Bank's contributions is 20% per year of service
                  and 100% vesting after 5 years.

      Effective  October 1, 1991,  a resolution  of the Board of  Directors  was
      passed allowing  nondiscriminatory  participant loans from the Plan. Loans
      are made for  hardship  situations  only.  Each  loan  must be  adequately
      secured and the loan  repayment  must be made before any  distribution  of
      retirement benefits.

B.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

      Basis of Presentation - The financial statements of the Plan are presented
      on the accrual basis of accounting.

      Investment  Valuation and Income Recognition - Investments in mutual funds
      consisting  of the  Basic  Value  Fund,  Capital  Fund,  CMA  Money  Fund,
      Corporate  Intermediate Bond Fund, Global Allocation Fund, Growth Fund for
      Investment and  Retirement,  Ready Asset Trust Fund,  MFS Emerging  Growth
      Fund,  Massachusetts  Investors  Trust  Fund and  investments  in  PennFed
      Financial  Services,  Inc.  common  stock are  recorded at market value as
      determined by quoted market prices.

                                      -4-
<PAGE>
      Purchases and sales of securities are recorded as of the settlement  date.
      There were no material unsettled trades at June 30, 1999 or 1998. Interest
      income is recorded on the accrual basis.  Participant loans receivable are
      valued at cost which approximates fair value.

      Participant  Accounts  - Under the  trusteeship  of  Merrill  Lynch  Trust
      Company  participants may designate their  contributions to be invested in
      any of the following eight funds and common stock:

      1.   Basic Value Fund - The  investment  objective  of the Fund is to seek
           capital appreciation and, secondarily,  income by investing primarily
           in equity securities.

      2.   Capital  Fund - The  investment  objective of the Fund is to maximize
           total investment return by shifting  emphasis among equity,  debt and
           convertible securities.

      3.   Corporate  Intermediate  Bond Fund - The investment  objective of the
           Fund is to seek  current  income.  The Fund  anticipates  that  under
           normal circumstances,  the majority of its assets will be invested in
           fixed-income  securities,  including  convertible and  nonconvertible
           debt securities and preferred stock.

      4.   Global  Allocation Fund - The investment  objective of the Fund is to
           seek a high  total  investment  return  utilizing  United  States and
           foreign equity, debt and money market securities;  the combination of
           which  will vary from  time to time  both  with  respect  to types of
           securities  and markets in response to changing  market and  economic
           trends.

      5.   Growth Fund for Investment and Retirement - The investment objectives
           of the Fund are to seek growth of capital and, secondarily, income by
           investing in a diversified portfolio of equity securities.

      6.   Ready Assets Trust Fund - The  investment  objectives of the Fund are
           to seek  preservation  of capital,  liquidity  and current  income by
           investing  in a  diversified  portfolio  of  short-term  money market
           securities.

      7.   MFS Emerging Growth Fund - The investment objective of the Fund is to
           seek  long-term  growth of capital by  investing  primarily in common
           stock (available to participants as of September 22, 1998).

      8.   Massachusetts  Investors Trust Fund -The investment  objective of the
           Fund is to seek current  income and  long-term  growth of capital and
           income  by  investing  primarily  in common  stock  and  convertibles
           (available to participants as of September 22, 1998).

      9.   PennFed   Financial   Services,   Inc.  Common  Stock  -  Allows  the
           participants in the Plan to direct the investment of all or a portion
           of the assets in their Plan  accounts to the common  stock of PennFed
           Financial  Services,  Inc.  (the  holding  company  for Penn  Federal
           Savings Bank).


                                      -5-
<PAGE>
      Benefit Payments - Participants or their designated beneficiary, may elect
      to receive benefit  distributions in either one lump-sum payment; or equal
      monthly, quarterly, or semi-annual installments,  equal to the total value
      of their separate  accounts upon termination of employment,  disability or
      death.  If the  election is in  installments,  the account  will either be
      segregated  and  separately  invested  by the  trustees,  or invested in a
      nontransferable annuity policy.

      During employment and in the event of financial hardship, participants may
      request payments of their account value; however, this distribution cannot
      exceed the  amount  required  to relieve  the  hardship.  Such  payment is
      subject to approval by the Plan administrator.

      Benefits Payable - Net assets available for benefits  included benefits of
      $574,655  and  $346,859  due  to  participants  who  have  withdrawn  from
      participation  in the Plan,  but were not yet paid as of June 30, 1999 and
      1998, respectively.

      Administrative  Expenses  - The Bank  has  elected  to pay  administrative
      expenses on behalf of the Plan.

      Forfeitures  -  Forfeitures  (the  portions  of  terminated  participants'
      accounts in which they did not have a vested  interest) are used to reduce
      future Bank contributions.

      Recently Adopted  Statement of Position - Effective July 1, 1998, the Plan
      adopted  Statement  of Position  99-3,  Accounting  for and  Reporting  of
      Certain Defined Contribution Plan Investments and Other Disclosure Matters
      ("SOP 99-3"). SOP 99-3 simplifies  disclosure for certain  investments and
      supersedes AICPA Practice Bulletin 12, Reporting Separate  Investment Fund
      Option Information of Defined-Contribution  Pension Plans. The adoption of
      SOP 99-3 no longer  requires  the Plan to  disclose  amounts  relating  to
      participant-directed  investment  programs  as  a  separate  fund  in  the
      financial statements in columnar form, or in the related  disclosures,  or
      by separate financial statements for each program.

C.    INVESTMENTS

      The Plan's  investments  are held in a trust  fund.  The  following  table
      presents investments.  Investments that represent 5 percent or more of the
      Plan's net assets are separately identified.

D.    PLAN TERMINATION

      Although it has not  expressed  any  intention  to do so, the Bank has the
      right under the Plan to discontinue its  contributions  at any time and to
      terminate  the Plan  subject to the  provisions  of ERISA.  If the Plan is
      terminated,  all  participants  automatically  become 100% vested in their
      accounts.

E.    INVESTMENT INCOME

      The Plan is valued  at least  quarterly  and  participants'  accounts  are
      credited with a  proportional  share of investment  income.  Additionally,
      investments are priced daily.

F.    TAX STATUS

      The sponsor  adopted a  non-standardized  prototype plan which received an
      Internal  Revenue  Service  opinion  letter  dated  June 29,  1993 and the
      Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed the Company by letter
      dated  December 7, 1995 that the Plan,  as adopted,  and related trust are
      designed  in  accordance  with the  applicable  sections  of the  Internal
      Revenue Code ("the Code"). The Plan has since been amended,  however,  the
      Plan  administrator  believes that the Plan is currently being operated in
      compliance  with the applicable  requirements of the Code.  Therefore,  no
      provision  of  income  taxes has been  included  in the  Plan's  financial
      statements.
