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, 2000 and
1999, and the related  statement of changes in net assets available for benefits
for  the  year  ended  June  30,  2000.  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 auditing standards generally accepted
in the  United  States of  America.  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, 2000
and 1999,  and the changes in net assets  available  for  benefits  for the year
ended June 30, 2000 in conformity with accounting  principles generally accepted
in the United States of America.

Our audits  were  conducted  for the  purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental  schedule of Assets Held
for Investment  Purposes is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and
is not a required part of the basic  financial  statements but is  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. This schedule is the responsibility of Plan management.  Such schedule has
been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of the basic 2000
financial  statements  and, in our  opinion,  is 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  and Ready Asset  Trust Fund were  managed by
       Merrill Lynch. Investments in mutual funds consisting of the MFS Emerging
       Growth  Fund and  Massachusetts  Investors  Trust  Fund were  managed  by
       Massachusetts Financial Services Company ("MFS").  Investments in PennFed
       Financial  Services,  Inc.  common  stock are recorded at market value as
       determined by quoted market prices.

       Purchases and sales of securities are recorded as of the settlement date.
       There  were no  material  unsettled  trades  at June  30,  2000 or  1999.
       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).

       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.

                                      -5-

<PAGE>

       Benefits Payable - Net assets available for benefits included benefits of
       $440,352  and  $574,655  due to  participants  who  have  withdrawn  from
       participation  in the Plan, but were not yet paid as of June 30, 2000 and
       1999, 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.

       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 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 Internal Revenue Code.
       Therefore,  no provision for income taxes has been included in the Plan's
       financial statements.
