4.       Purpose of Transaction

     In the preliminary proxy material filed by the Issuer, the Issuer disclosed
that Arthur J.  Abramowitz,  Esq., whose firm is general counsel to the Issuer's
bank subsidiary,  was one of the two management  nominees for election to one of
the two open seats on the Issuer's  Board of Directors.  The Reporting  Persons,
solely to avoid a costly  and  time-consuming  proxy  contest,  were  willing to
support Mr. Abramowitz's  nomination to the Board for one of the two open seats,
so long as the Company supported one of the Committee's  nominees for the second
open seat. The Issuer  refused to accept the  Committee's  proposal.  The Issuer
stated that after the pending Third Circuit  Appeal was decided,  the Issuer may
want to discuss the issue further.
