                  (e) During the past five years, neither the MHC nor the
Insiders has been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative
body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is
subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or
prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws
or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

                  (f) All of the Insiders are U.S. citizens.


ITEM 3.  SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION

         On July 13, 1999, the Bank consummated its reorganization into the
mutual savings bank holding company form of organization, whereby the following
steps were taken: (i) the Bank organized an interim stock savings bank as a
wholly owned subsidiary ("Interim One"); (ii) Interim One organized an interim
stock savings bank as a wholly owned subsidiary ("Interim Two"); (iii) Interim
One organized the Company as a wholly owned subsidiary; (iv) the Bank exchanged
its charter for a New Jersey stock savings bank charter to become the Bank in
stock form and Interim One exchanged its charter for a New Jersey mutual savings
bank holding company charter to become the MHC; (v) simultaneously with step
(iv), Interim Two merged with and into the Bank with the Bank as the resulting
institution; (vi) all of the initially issued stock of the Bank was transferred
to the MHC in exchange for membership interests in the MHC; and (vii) the MHC
contributed the capital stock of the Bank to the Company, and the Bank in stock
form became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

         In connection with the reorganization, the Company sold 54,350,000
shares of its Common Stock at $10.00 per share to the public and issued
61,288,300 shares of such Common Stock to the MHC. In connection with Step (iii)
above, Interim I purchased 61,288,300 shares of the Company for $612,883. As
discussed in Step (iv) above, Interim I became the MHC. The funds to purchase
the Company's shares originated from Interim's One organizational funds.

 .


ITEM 4.  PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION

         The reorganization will afford the Bank greater operating flexibility
to meet current and future business goals. The mutual holding company corporate
structure will better position the Bank to compete with other financial
institutions and to take advantage of business opportunities. By issuing only a
minority of Company's common stock to the public, the organization preserves its
ability to remain an independent community-oriented organization.

         Although, the MHC and Insiders intend to exercise their rights as
stockholders, they do not currently have any plans or proposals which relate to
or would result in: (a) the acquisition by any person of additional securities
of the Company, or the disposition of securities of the Company; (b) an
extraordinary corporate transaction, such as merger, reorganization or
liquidation, involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries; (c) a sale or
transfer of a material amount of assets of the Company or any of its
subsidiaries; (d) any change in the present board of directors or management of
the Company, including any plans or proposals to change the number or terms of
directors or to fill any vacancies on the board; (e) any material change in the
present capitalization or dividend policy of the Company; (f) any other material
change in the Company's business or corporate structure; (g) any change in the
Company's charter, by-laws, or other instruments corresponding thereto or other
actions which may impede the acquisition of control of the Company by any
person; (h) causing a class of securities of the Company to be delisted from a
national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to be quoted in an
inter-dealer quotation system or a registered national securities association;
(i) a class of equity securities of the Company becoming eligible for
termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended; or (j) any action similar to any of those
enumerated above.


ITEM 5.    INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

                  (a-b) The MHC beneficially owns (with sole voting and
dispositive power) an aggregate of 61,288,300 shares of Common Stock or 53.0% of
the shares issued and outstanding on July 13, 1999. The Insiders individually

Stock owned by them, except as otherwise indicated. The following information is
