                PENNFED FINANCIAL SERVICES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation

The interim consolidated financial statements of PennFed Financial Services,
Inc. ("PennFed") and subsidiaries (with its subsidiaries, the "Company") include
the accounts of PennFed and its subsidiaries (including Penn Federal Savings
Bank (the "Bank")). These consolidated financial statements have been prepared
by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Certain information and footnote
disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance
with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or
omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes
that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not
misleading. These interim consolidated financial statements included herein
should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended June 30, 2006. The interim consolidated financial statements
reflect all normal and recurring adjustments which are, in the opinion of
management, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial
condition and results of operations for the periods presented. The interim
results of operations presented are not necessarily indicative of the results
for the full year. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities, the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
period and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

2. Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan and Directors' Retirement Plan

The Company currently provides for a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan
("SERP") and a Directors' Retirement Plan ("DP") for certain key executive
employees and directors. Benefits provided are based primarily on years of
service and compensation or fees. Both plans are unfunded and at September 30,
2006, the benefit obligations of $2,923,000 are included in Accounts payable and
other liabilities in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. At
September 30, 2006, the assumptions used in calculating the benefit obligations
included a 4% compensation increase rate and a discount rate of 6%. At September
30, 2005, the assumptions used in calculating the benefit obligation included a
4% compensation increase rate and a discount rate of 5%. The accounting for
these postretirement benefits is in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 87, "Employers' Accounting for Pensions." The Company
has not made, and does not expect to make, any contributions to these plans
during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2007.

Net periodic pension cost for the Company's SERP and DP included the following
components:

The previous table reflects information for the Bank. Savings and loan holding
companies, such as PennFed, are not subject to capital requirements for capital
adequacy purposes or for prompt corrective action requirements. Bank holding
companies, however, are subject to capital requirements established by the Board
of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

5. Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements"
("SFAS 157"). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring
fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures
about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 applies to other accounting
pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements but does not
require new fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years
beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company does not expect the adoption of
SFAS 157 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 158, "Employers' Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other
Postretirement Plans" ("SFAS 158"). SFAS 158 requires employers to recognize on
the balance sheet the funded status of pension and other postretirement benefit
plans. SFAS 158 will also require fiscal year end measurements of plan assets
and benefit obligations, eliminating the use of earlier measurement dates
currently permissible; however, the measurement date requirement will not be
effective until fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. SFAS 158 amends
FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and 132(R) but retains most of their measurement
and disclosure guidance and will not change the amounts recognized in the income
statement as net periodic benefit cost. Recognition on the balance sheet of the
funded status of plans and the related disclosure provisions as required by SFAS
158 are effective as of the end of the fiscal year ending after December 15,
2006. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 158 to have a material
impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In September 2006, the SEC released SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 ("SAB
108"), "Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying
Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements." SAB 108 addresses how
uncorrected errors in previous years should be considered when quantifying
errors in current year financial statements. SAB 108 requires registrants to
consider the effect of all carry over and reversing effects of prior year
misstatements when quantifying errors in current year financial statements, but
does not change the SEC staff's previous guidance on evaluating the materiality
of misstatements. The financial statements of a registrant would require
adjustment if either approach resulted in a misstatement that is material,
considering all relevant quantitative and qualitative factors. SAB 108 allows
registrants to record the effect of adopting the guidance as a one-time
cumulative effect adjustment to beginning of the year retained earnings. SAB 108
is effective in the first fiscal year ending after November 15, 2006. The
Company does not expect the adoption of SAB 108 to have a material impact on its
consolidated financial statements.

In September 2006, the Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") of the FASB discussed
public comments received on EITF Issue No. 06-4, "Accounting for Deferred
Compensation and Post-Retirement Benefit Aspects of Endorsement Split-Dollar
Life Insurance Arrangements." On September 7, 2006, the EITF agreed to clarify
certain points based on public comments. The EITF reached a consensus that an
employer should recognize a liability for future benefits under FASB Statement
No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than
Pensions," or APB Opinion No. 12, "Omnibus Opinion - 1967," for an endorsement
split-dollar life insurance arrangement subject to EITF Issue No. 06-4. This
liability is to be based on the substantive agreement with the employee. The
consensus is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007. Early
adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an entity's fiscal year. Entities
should recognize the effects of applying the consensus on this issue as a change
in accounting principle through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained
earnings or to other components of equity or net assets in the statement of
financial position as of the beginning of the year of adoption. Retrospective
application to all prior periods is permitted. The Company is currently
evaluating the impact of the adoption of EITF Issue No. 06-4 on its consolidated
financial statements.

6. Subsequent Event - Merger Agreement

On November 2, 2006, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger
(the "Merger Agreement") with New York Community Bancorp, Inc. ("NYCB"),
pursuant to which the Company will be merged into NYCB (the "Merger"). It is
expected that concurrent with or immediately after the Merger, the Bank will be
merged into New York Community Bank, a wholly owned subsidiary of NYCB. Upon
completion of the Merger, the holders of the Company's common stock will be
entitled to receive, for each share of Company common stock held, 1.222 shares
of NYCB common stock, with cash paid in lieu of fractional NYCB shares. The
Merger is subject to the approval of the Company's stockholders, the receipt of
regulatory approvals and the satisfaction of other customary closing conditions.
It is currently expected that the Merger will be completed late in the quarter
ending March 31, 2007.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations

Critical Accounting Policies

The consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of the consolidated
financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and
accompanying notes. While the Company bases estimates on historical experience,
current information and other factors deemed to be relevant, actual results
could differ from those estimates. Management believes the following policies
are both important to the reported financial condition and results of operations
and require subjective judgments and are, therefore, considered critical
accounting policies.

Allowance for Loan Losses - The allowance for loan losses is established through
charges to income based on management's evaluation of the probable credit losses
presently inherent in the Company's loan portfolio. This evaluation, which
includes a review of loans for which full collectibility may not be reasonably
assured, considers among other matters, loan classifications, the estimated fair
value of the underlying collateral, economic conditions, historical loan loss
experience, portfolio growth and composition and other factors that warrant
recognition in providing for an adequate loan loss allowance.

Loan losses are charged against the allowance for loan losses when management
believes that the recovery of principal is unlikely. If, as a result of loans
charged off or increases in the size or risk characteristics of the loan
portfolio, the allowance is below the level considered by management to be
adequate to absorb loan losses on existing loans, the provision for loan losses
is increased to the level considered necessary to provide an adequate allowance.
The allowance is an amount that management believes will be adequate to absorb
probable losses on existing loans that may become uncollectible, based on
evaluations of the collectibility of the loans. The evaluations take into
consideration such factors as changes in the nature and volume of the loan
portfolio, overall portfolio quality, review of specific problem loans and
current economic conditions that may affect the borrowers' ability to pay.
Economic conditions may result in the necessity to change the allowance in order
to react to deteriorating financial conditions of the Company's borrowers. As a
result, additional provisions on existing loans may be required in the future if
borrowers' financial conditions deteriorate or if real estate values decline.

Where appropriate, reserves are allocated to individual loans that exhibit
actual or probable credit weakness. For example, reserves may be specifically
assigned for loans that are 90 days or more past due, loans where the borrower
has filed for bankruptcy or loans identified as problematic by the Company's
internal loan review process. Reserves are based upon management's estimate of
the borrower's ability to repay the loan given the availability of collateral,
other sources of cash flow and legal options available to the Company. For loans
not subject to specific reserve allocations, loss rates by loan category are
applied. A reserve is maintained to recognize the imprecision in estimating and
measuring loss when evaluating reserves for individual loans or pools of loans.
Reserves on individual loans are reviewed no less frequently than quarterly and
adjusted as appropriate.

The Company has not substantively changed any aspect of its overall approach in
its determination of the level of the allowance for loan losses. There have been
no material changes in assumptions or estimation techniques as compared to prior
periods that impacted the determination of the current period allowance.

Although management believes that it uses the best information available to
determine the allowances, unforeseen market conditions could result in
adjustments and earnings could be significantly affected if circumstances differ
substantially from the assumptions used in making the final determination.
Future additions to the Company's allowance may have to be made as a result of
periodic loan, property and collateral reviews and thus cannot be predicted in
advance. In addition, federal regulatory agencies, as an integral part of the
examination process, periodically review the Company's allowance for loan
losses. These agencies may require the Company to record additions to the
allowance level based upon their assessment of the information available to them
at the time of examination.

Accounting for Income Taxes - In accounting for income taxes, the Company
records amounts that represent taxes payable for the current year as well as
deferred tax assets and liabilities arising from transactions that have
differing effects for financial statements and tax returns. Judgment is required
in assessing the future tax effects of transactions that have been recognized in
the Company's consolidated financial statements or tax returns. Fluctuations in
the actual tax effects in future years could have an impact on the Company's
consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

Asset Impairment Judgments - The Company periodically performs analyses to test
for impairment of various assets.


                                       12
<PAGE>

When necessary, valuation allowances are established to recognize impairment of
assets. In addition to the impairment analyses related to loans, additional
impairment analysis is conducted as it relates to the value of other than
temporary declines in the value of the investment and mortgage-backed securities
portfolios.

Investments securities available for sale are carried at market value, with
unrealized gains and losses, net of taxes, reported as accumulated other
comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders' equity. Investment and
mortgage-backed securities held to maturity are carried at amortized cost as the
Company has both the ability and intent to hold the securities to maturity. The
Company conducts a periodic review and evaluation of the investment and
mortgage-backed securities portfolios to determine if the value of any security
has declined below its carrying value and whether such decline is other than
temporary.

If such decline is deemed other than temporary, the carrying amount of the
security would be adjusted by writing down the security to fair market value
through a charge to current period operations. The market values of the
Company's investment and mortgage-backed securities are significantly affected
by changes in interest rates. In general, as interest rates rise, the market
value of fixed-rate securities will decrease; as interest rates fall, the market
value of fixed-rate securities will increase. With significant changes in
interest rates, the Company evaluates the intent and ability to hold the
security to maturity or for a sufficient time to recover the recorded principal
balance. Estimated fair values for securities are based on quoted dealer market
prices or subscribed pricing services.

Forward-Looking Statements

When used in this Form 10-Q and in future filings by the Company with the SEC,
in the Company's press releases or other public or shareholder communications,
and in oral statements made with the approval of an authorized executive
officer, the words or phrases "will likely result," "are expected to," "will
continue," "is anticipated," "estimate," "project" or similar expressions are
intended to identify "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are subject
to certain risks and uncertainties, including, among other things, the
possibility that the Merger with NYCB will occur later than currently
anticipated or not at all, changes in economic and competitive conditions in the
Company's market area, changes in laws and regulations and in policies by
regulatory agencies, fluctuations in interest rates and demand for loans in the
Company's market area, the credit risks of lending activities, including changes
in the level and direction of loan delinquencies and write-offs and changes in
estimates of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, the Company's
ability to attract and retain depositors and to obtain cost-effective funding,
the relationship of short-term interest rates to long-term interest rates and
the Company's ability to manage its interest rate risk, competition and
terrorist acts that could cause actual results to differ materially from
historical earnings and those presently anticipated or projected. The Company
wishes to caution readers not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking
statements, which speak only as of the date made. The Company wishes to advise
readers that the factors listed above, as well as other factors, could affect
the Company's financial performance and could cause the Company's actual results
for future periods to differ materially from any opinions or statements
expressed with respect to future periods in any current statements.

The Company does not undertake - and specifically declines any obligation - to
publicly release the result of any revisions which may be made to any
forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of
these statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated
events.

Overview

The Company has been, and intends to continue to be, a community-oriented
financial institution offering a variety of financial services to meet the needs
of the communities it serves. The Company currently has 24 full service branch
offices located in New Jersey. The Company attracts deposits from the general
public and uses these deposits, together with brokered deposits, borrowings and
other funds, to originate and purchase one- to four-family residential mortgage
loans, and, to a lesser extent, to originate commercial and multi-family real
estate and consumer loans. The Company also invests in mortgage-backed
securities secured by one- to four-family residential mortgages and U.S.
government sponsored agency obligations. Through a relationship with an
unaffiliated third party, the Company offers insurance and uninsured non-deposit
investment products to the Company's customers and members of the general
public. A wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company participates in the ownership
of a title insurance agency.

The Company's loan portfolio growth is dependent primarily on its ability to
provide the products and services that meet the needs of the customers in its
market area. The Company offers fixed rate, adjustable rate and balloon mortgage
loans for residential and commercial purposes, as well as home equity, consumer
loans and non-mortgage business loans, with a variety of terms. Residential
first mortgage loans are the largest part of the portfolio, representing


                                       13
<PAGE>

approximately 77.1% at September 30, 2006. The level of interest rates also has
a significant impact on the ability of the Company to originate loans and on the
amount of prepayment activity experienced by the Company. Since June 30, 2006,
the Company's net loans receivable and loans held for sale increased $29.1
million. This increase was primarily attributable to lower levels of prepayments
and the consistent level of consumer loan originations, when compared to the
prior year period. During the three months ended September 30, 2006, the Company
sold $2.8 million of primarily fixed rate loans as a means to assist in the
management of interest rate risk.

The retention and the recruitment of profitable deposit customers is vital to
PennFed's ability to generate liquid funds and to generate non-interest income.
The number of deposit accounts at September 30, 2006 was relatively the same as
the number of deposit accounts at June 30, 2006; however, the average deposit
balances per account, excluding wholesale certificates of deposit, has increased
6.1% since June 30, 2006. The Company offers a number of different deposit
products and uses this product mix, along with a strong focus on customer
service, to attract customers and to build depositor relationships. The level of
interest rates also significantly affects the level of the Company's deposits.
Since June 30, 2006, deposits increased $87.2 million, primarily due to an
increase in certificates of deposit as well as an increase in checking and money
market accounts partially offset by a decrease in savings accounts.

The Company's future loan and deposit growth is, to a large extent, directly
tied to the level of interest rates. If long-term interest rates rise, loan
origination levels may decline. Growth in the loan pipeline will depend on the
Company's ability to successfully seek out customers in spite of the higher cost
of borrowing for the customer and competition from other lenders. Loan growth
driven by borrower demand also will depend on the strength of the economy in the
Company's market area. With rising interest rates and/or deteriorating economic
conditions, loan origination volumes would likely be lower than recent periods
and a reduction in the prepayment of loans currently in portfolio would be
expected. The Company has continued its loan sale strategy with respect to its
new longer term, fixed rate residential loan product in order to assist in the
management of interest rate risk associated with keeping longer term loans on
the balance sheet. With respect to deposits, while an increase in interest rates
would increase the Company's cost of funds, it would also provide the Company
with an additional opportunity to attract depositors, some of whom may have
sought higher returns with mutual funds and other non-deposit investment
products when market rates were lower. The Company remains confident that by
offering appropriately priced products and by striving to deliver superior
service, it will be able to maintain profitable levels of loans and deposits.

The Company's results of operations are dependent primarily on net interest
income, which is the difference between the income earned on its loan,
mortgage-backed securities and investment portfolios and its cost of funds,
consisting of the interest paid on deposits and borrowings. General economic and
competitive conditions, particularly changes in interest rates, government
policies and actions of regulatory authorities, also significantly affect the
Company's results of operations. Future changes in applicable laws, regulations
or government policies may also have a material impact on the Company.

The Company's future earnings are inherently tied to the level of interest rates
and the relationship of short to long term rates. If interest rates increase,
the Company's interest expense on deposits and wholesale borrowings will
increase at a faster pace than the effects that will be seen in the Company's
interest income on loans, investment securities and mortgage-backed securities.
This effect on interest expense is due to the short-term repricing
characteristics of a portion of the Company's deposits and borrowings. As for
interest income, loan commitments, generally locked in at issuance, will result
in loans closed at below-market rates if rates continue to rise. As interest
rates rise, a decline in loan prepayments and in prepayments on mortgage-backed
securities will reduce cashflows available for reinvestment at higher rates. By
emphasizing the origination of adjustable rate and biweekly loan products and
continuing the sale of longer term fixed rate residential loans, while also
focusing on increasing the balance of core deposits and longer term certificates
of deposit and borrowings, the Company will endeavor to better position itself
to mitigate the effects of rising interest rates.

Financial Condition

Assets. Total assets increased $27.8 million to $2.334 billion at September 30,
2006 from total assets of $2.307 billion at June 30, 2006. The increase at
September 30, 2006 was primarily due to a $29.1 million increase in net loans
receivable and loans held for sale, reflecting strong consumer loan origination
levels and the lower levels of loan prepayments due to higher long term interest
rates.

Liabilities. Deposits increased $87.2 million to $1.502 billion at September 30,
2006 from $1.415 billion at June 30, 2006. The increase was attributable to an
increase in certificates of deposit of $104.8 million and an increase of $2.6
million in checking and money market accounts partially offset by a decrease of
$20.2 million in savings accounts since June 30,


                                       14
<PAGE>

2006. Higher levels of short term interest rates, when compared to prior year
periods, has resulted in a shift of funds to higher yielding certificates of
deposit. The increase in certificates of deposits at September 30, 2006 included
an $84.2 million increase in municipal certificates of deposit and the addition
of $21.0 million of wholesale certificates of deposit. At September 30, 2006,
FHLB of New York advances and other borrowings totaled $644.2 million,
reflecting a $61.5 million decrease from $705.7 million at June 30, 2006, as a
result of the increase in deposits as the primary source of funds during the
current year period.

Stockholders' Equity. Stockholders' equity at September 30, 2006 totaled $124.4
million compared to $123.4 million at June 30, 2006. The increase in equity
reflects the net income recorded for the three months ended September 30, 2006,
the exercise of stock options, including the related tax effect, and unrealized
holding gains on investment securities available for sale, net of taxes,
partially offset by the repurchase of 44,800 shares of the Company's outstanding
stock at an average price of $17.05 per share and the declaration of a cash
dividend.

Results of Operations

General. For the three months ended September 30, 2006, net income was $2.3
million, or $0.17 per diluted share, compared to net income of $4.1 million, or
$0.30 per diluted share, for the comparable prior year period.

Interest and Dividend Income. Interest and dividend income for the three months
ended September 30, 2006 increased to $31.2 million from $27.7 million for the
three months ended September 30, 2005. In general, the increase in interest and
dividend income reflects a higher level of interest-earning assets due to
consistently sustained loan origination levels over most of the past twelve
months, particularly in consumer loans, coupled with the lower levels of
prepayments in the Company's loan and mortgage-backed securities portfolios.
Average interest-earning assets were $2.238 billion for the three months ended
September 30, 2006, compared to $2.017 billion for the comparable prior year
period. The average yield earned on interest-earning assets increased to 5.56%
for the three months ended September 30, 2006 from 5.47% for the three months
ended September 30, 2005, primarily reflective of the increase in the yield
earned on consumer loans and investment securities.

Interest income on residential one- to four-family mortgage loans for the three
months ended September 30, 2006 increased $2.1 million when compared to the
prior year period. The increase in interest income on residential one- to
four-family mortgage loans was partially attributable to an increase in the
average balance of residential one- to four-family mortgage loans outstanding of
$142.8 million to $1.317 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2006,
compared to $1.174 billion for the prior year period, due to strong loan
origination levels over most of the past twelve month period coupled with lower
levels of prepayments. Additionally, the increase in interest income on
residential one- to four-family mortgage loans was also due to an increase in
the average yield earned on this loan portfolio to 5.31% for the three months
ended September 30, 2006, from 5.24% for the three months ended September 30,
2005, reflecting the increase in long-term interest rates over the last twelve
months.

Interest income on commercial and multi-family real estate loans decreased
$21,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2006, when compared to the
prior year period. The decrease in interest income on commercial and
multi-family real estate loans was primarily attributable to a decrease in the
average yield earned on these loans to 6.65% for the three months ended
September 30, 2006 from 6.82% for the three months ended September 30, 2005. The
payoff of higher yielding loans and the origination of loans at relatively lower
market interest rates resulted in a decline in the yield on the commercial and
multi-family real estate loan portfolio. Somewhat offsetting the decrease in the
average yield earned on commercial and multi-family real estate loans was an
increase in the average balance outstanding on this loan portfolio of $3.0
million to $169.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006,
compared to $166.6 million for the comparable prior year period.

Interest income on consumer loans increased $1.2 million for the three months
ended September 30, 2006, when compared to the prior year period. The increase
in interest income on consumer loans for the three months ended September 30,
2006 was partially attributable to an increase in the average balance
outstanding of this loan portfolio of $63.8 million, when compared to the three
months ended September 30, 2005, due primarily to higher origination levels and
reduced prepayments. Also contributing to the increase in interest income on
consumer loans for the three months ended September 30, 2006 was an increase in
the average yield earned on these loans to 6.11% from 5.61% for the comparable
prior year period, as a result of the strong loan origination levels at higher
market interest rates.

Interest income on investment securities and other interest-earning assets
increased $480,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2006, when compared
to the prior year period. The increase in interest income on these securities
was partially attributable to a $24.8 million increase in the average balance
outstanding for the three months ended


                                       15
<PAGE>

September 30, 2006, when compared to the prior year period, due to the absence
of callable securities being called before maturity as a result of the increase
in interest rates. Additionally, the increase in interest income on investment
securities and other interest-earning assets was partially attributable to an
increase in the average yield earned on these securities to 5.68% for the three
months ended September 30, 2006, compared to 5.56% for the three months ended
September 30, 2005.

Interest income on the mortgage-backed securities portfolio decreased $169,000
for the three months ended September 30, 2006, compared to the prior year
period. The decrease in interest income on mortgage-backed securities for the
three months ended September 30, 2006 was primarily due to a decrease in the
average balance outstanding of $14.2 million, when compared to the three months
ended September 30, 2005. Somewhat offsetting the decrease in the average
balance outstanding on mortgage-backed securities was an increase in the average
yield earned on this portfolio to 5.15% for the three months ended September 30,
2006 from 5.07% for the three months ended September 30, 2005.

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased to $23.7 million for the three
months ended September 30, 2006 from $17.5 million for the comparable prior year
period. A significant rise in short term interest rates combined with an
increase in the average balance of deposits, FHLB of New York advances and other
borrowings, were the primary factors responsible for the increase in interest
expense in the current year period when compared to the prior year period. The
average rate on deposits and borrowings was 4.31% for the three months ended
September 30, 2006, an increase from 3.55% for the prior year period. Total
average deposits and borrowings increased $227.5 million for the three months
ended September 30, 2006, when compared to the three months ended September 30,
2005.

For the three months ended September 30, 2006, the average rate paid on deposits
increased to 3.70% from 2.74% for the three months ended September 30, 2005,
reflecting the effect of a rise in short term market interest rates and the
highly competitive New Jersey market. Average deposit balances increased $126.5
million to $1.468 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2006 from
$1.342 billion for the comparable prior year period.

The average cost of FHLB of New York advances for the three months ended
September 30, 2006 decreased to 5.47% from 5.74% for the three months ended
September 30, 2005, primarily due to the addition of new advances and the
replacement of maturing or called advances at relatively lower rates. The
average balance of FHLB of New York advances increased $48.2 million for the
three months ended September 30, 2006, when compared to the prior year period.
For the three months ended September 30, 2006, the average balance of other
borrowings increased $52.8 million, when compared to the three months ended
September 30, 2005. The average rate paid on other borrowings increased to 5.08%
for the three months ended September 30, 2006 from 3.50% for the comparable
prior year period, since the vast majority of other borrowings had maturities
within one year, reflecting the higher levels of short term interest rates.

Interest expense on junior subordinated debentures increased $146,000 for the
three months ended September 30, 2006, when compared to the prior year period.
The increase in interest expense was primarily due to an increase in the average
cost of these borrowings to 9.40% for the three months ended September 30, 2006
from 8.05% for the prior year period. The average balance of junior subordinated
debentures increased $45,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2006,
when compared to the three months ended September 30, 2005.

Net Interest and Dividend Income. Net interest and dividend income before
provision for loan losses for the three months ended September 30, 2006 was $7.5
million compared to $10.2 million recorded in the prior year period. For the
three months ended September 30, 2006, average net interest-earning assets
decreased $7.3 million when compared to the three months ended September 30,
2005. The net interest rate spread and net interest margin for the three months
ended September 30, 2006 were 1.25% and 1.38%, respectively, a decrease from
1.92% and 2.05% for the three months ended September 30, 2005. The decline in
the net interest margin during the current year period has been the result of
the prolonged flat and at times inverted yield curve, with longer term interest
rates reflecting minimal movement but with continual increases in shorter term
interest rates. As a result, the Company's deposit and borrowing costs rose at a
significantly faster pace than interest rates offered on real estate mortgage
loans within the Company's lending market.

Provision for Loan Losses. There was no provision for loan losses recorded for
the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, reflecting the Company's
historically low levels of non-accruing loans and loan chargeoffs. Management
believes that the allowance for loan losses at both dates was adequate to absorb
probable losses on existing loans that may become uncollectible. The allowance
for loan losses of $5.9 million at September 30, 2006 remained relatively
unchanged from the allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2006. However, the
allowance for loan losses as a percentage of non-accruing loans was 274.07% at
September 30, 2006, compared to 330.79% at June 30, 2006. Non-


                                       16
<PAGE>

accruing loans were $2.1 million at September 30, 2006 compared to $1.8 million
at June 30, 2006. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total gross
loans at September 30, 2006 was 0.34% compared to 0.35% at June 30, 2006,
primarily due to the increase in the balance of the overall loan portfolio. See
the discussion on the allowance for loan losses in this Form 10-Q under
"Critical Accounting Policies."

Non-Interest Income. For the three months ended September 30, 2006, non-interest
income was $1.5 million compared to $4.0 million for the prior year period. The
decrease in non-interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2006
was primarily due to a decrease in fees and service charges as compared to the
three months ended September 30, 2005.

Fees and service charges for the three months ended September 30, 2006 were
$725,000, reflecting a decrease of $2.7 million from the $3.5 million recorded
for the prior year period. Fees and service charges for the three months ended
September 30, 2005 included a prepayment premium of $2.7 million earned on the
payoff of a large-balance commercial real estate loan.

During the three months ended September 30, 2006, the net gain on sales of loans
was $9,000 compared to $122,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2005.
Approximately $800,000 and $2.0 million of primarily fixed rate one- to
four-family residential mortgage loans were sold into the secondary market and
to other financial institutions, respectively, during the three months ended
September 30, 2006. Approximately $2.4 million and $18.4 million of fixed rate
one- to four-family residential mortgage loans were sold into the secondary
market and to other financial institutions, respectively, during the three
months ended September 30, 2005. The reduction in loan sales during the current
period when compared to the prior year period, can be partially attributed to a
reduction in the origination of longer term, fixed rate products, as borrowers
have shown increased interest in adjustable rate and bi-weekly loans, which are
retained in portfolio.

Other non-interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2006 was
$418,000, an increase of $237,000 compared to the $181,000 recorded for the
three months ended September 30, 2005. The increase in other non-interest


                                       19
<PAGE>

income was primarily due to a gain of $219,000 recorded during the three months
ended September 30, 2006 on the sale of the Bloomfield Avenue branch property in
Montclair, New Jersey.

Non-Interest Expenses. Non-interest expenses for the three months ended
September 30, 2006 were $5.6 million, or 0.96% of average assets. For the
comparable prior year period, non-interest expenses were $7.8 million, or 1.49%
of average assets. Prior period expenses reflected a $1.4 million prepayment
penalty on certain FHLB of New York advances, $259,000 of increased obligations
under certain long-term benefit plans and $372,000 of accelerated depreciation
expense for branch automation system software that was no longer used.

Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense for the three months ended September 30,
2006 was $1.2 million compared to $2.3 million for the three months ended
September 30, 2005. The effective tax rate for the three months ended September
30, 2006 was 33.7% compared to 35.7% for the three months ended September 30,
2005.

non-performing assets and restructured loans. Loans are placed on non-accrual
status when the collection of principal or interest becomes delinquent more than
90 days. There are no loans delinquent more than 90 days which are still
accruing interest. Real estate owned represents assets acquired in the
settlement of loans (generally through foreclosure or a deed in lieu) and is
shown net of valuation allowances.

Interest Rate Sensitivity

Interest Rate Sensitivity Gap. The interest rate risk inherent in assets and
liabilities may be determined by analyzing the extent to which such assets and
liabilities are "interest rate sensitive" and by measuring an institution's
interest rate sensitivity "gap." An asset or liability is said to be interest
rate sensitive within a defined time period if it matures or reprices within
that period. The difference or mismatch between the amount of interest-earning
assets maturing or repricing within a defined period and the amount of
interest-bearing liabilities maturing or repricing within the same period is
defined as the interest rate sensitivity gap. An institution is considered to
have a negative gap if the amount of interest-bearing liabilities maturing or
repricing within a specified time period exceeds the amount of interest-earning
assets maturing or repricing within the same period. If more interest-earning
assets than interest-bearing liabilities mature or reprice within a specified
period, then the institution is considered to have a positive gap. Accordingly,
in a rising interest rate environment, in an institution with a negative gap,
the cost of its rate sensitive liabilities would theoretically rise at a faster
pace than the yield on its rate sensitive assets, thereby diminishing future net
interest income. In a falling interest rate environment, a negative gap would
indicate that the cost of rate sensitive liabilities would decline at a faster
pace than the yield on rate sensitive assets and improve net interest income.
For an institution with a positive gap, the reverse would be expected.

At September 30, 2006, the Company's total deposits and borrowings maturing or
repricing within one year exceeded its total interest-earning assets maturing or
repricing within one year by $621.9 million, representing a one year negative
gap of 26.64% of total assets, compared to a one year negative gap of $622.8
million, or 27.02%, of total assets at June 30, 2006. The Company's overall gap
position was relatively unchanged from June 30, 2006. Growth in the estimated
cash flows of the Company's short-term interest-bearing liabilities, due to an
increase in retail and wholesale funding balances maturing within one year, was
balanced by growth in short-term interest-earning asset cash flows. A decline in
longer-term market rates during the quarter resulted in an increase in loan
related prepayment estimates and in the projected early redemption of certain
callable U.S. government agency securities.

In evaluating the Company's exposure to interest rate risk, certain limitations
inherent in the method of interest rate gap


                                       21
<PAGE>

analysis must be considered. For example, although certain assets and
liabilities may have similar maturities or periods to repricing, they may react
in different degrees to changes in market interest rates. Also, the interest
rates on certain types of assets and liabilities may fluctuate in advance of
changes in market interest rates, while interest rates on other types may lag
behind changes in market rates. Additionally, certain assets, such as adjustable
rate mortgages, have features which restrict changes in interest rates in the
short-term and over the life of the asset. Furthermore, in the event of a change
in interest rates, prepayment and early withdrawal levels may deviate
significantly from those assumed in calculating the gap position. Finally, the
ability of many borrowers to service their debt may decrease in the event of an
interest rate increase. The Company considers all of these factors in monitoring
its exposure to interest rate risk.

Net Portfolio Value. The Company's interest rate sensitivity is regularly
monitored by management through additional interest rate risk ("IRR") measures,
including an IRR "Exposure Measure" or "Post-Shock" NPV ratio and a "Sensitivity
Measure." A low Post-Shock NPV ratio may indicate greater exposure to IRR.
Greater exposure can result from a high sensitivity to changes in interest
rates. The Sensitivity Measure is the change in the NPV ratio, in basis points,
caused by a 2% increase or decrease in rates, whichever produces a larger
decline. Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS") guidelines would characterize an
institution with a Post Shock ratio of less than 4% to have "high" interest rate
risk if the Sensitivity Measure is greater than 2%. At least quarterly, and
generally monthly, management models the change in net portfolio value ("NPV")
over a variety of interest rate scenarios. NPV is the present value of expected
cash flows from assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet contracts. An NPV
ratio, in any interest rate scenario, is defined as the NPV in that rate
scenario divided by the market value of assets in the same scenario. Assumptions
used in calculating interest rate sensitivity are periodically reviewed and
modified as appropriate.

As of September 30, 2006, the Bank's internally generated initial NPV ratio was
8.55%. Following a 2% increase in interest rates, the Bank's Post-Shock NPV
ratio was 5.13%. The change in the NPV ratio, or the Bank's Sensitivity Measure,
was negative 3.42%. As of September 30, 2006, the Company's internally generated
initial NPV ratio was 8.47%, the Post-Shock ratio was 4.98%, and the Sensitivity
Measure was negative 3.49%. As of June 30, 2006, the Bank's Post-Shock NPV ratio
and Sensitivity Measure were 5.02% and negative 3.64%, respectively, and the
Company's Post-Shock NPV ratios and Sensitivity Measures were 4.34% and negative
4.13%, respectively. Both the Post-Shock NPV ratio and the Sensitivity Measure
improved from June 30, 2006. The improvements are primarily attributed to a
decline in asset duration. Lower longer-term market interest rates resulted in
an increase in estimated loan related prepayments and the early redemption of
certain callable U.S. government agency securities. Liability duration was
relatively unchanged from June 30, 2006, as a decline in short-term market
interest rates, which lengthens liability duration, was primarily offset by
growth in short-term funding balances. Variances between the Bank's and the
Company's NPV ratios are attributable to balance sheet items which are
eliminated during consolidation, such as investments, intercompany borrowings
and capital.

Internally generated NPV measurements are based on simulations which utilize
institution specific assumptions, including discount and decay rates, and
generally result in lower levels of presumed interest rate risk than OTS
measurements indicate.

The OTS measures the Bank's IRR on a quarterly basis using data from the
quarterly Thrift Financial Reports filed by the Bank with the OTS, coupled with
non-institution specific assumptions which are based on national averages. As of
June 30, 2006 (the latest date for which information is available), the Bank's
initial NPV ratio, as measured by the OTS, was 7.24%, the Bank's Post-Shock
ratio was 2.93% and the Sensitivity Measure was negative 4.31%, placing the
Bank's IRR profile in the "high risk" category under OTS guidelines.

In addition to monitoring NPV and gap, management also monitors the duration of
assets and liabilities and the effects on net interest income resulting from
parallel and non-parallel increases or decreases in rates.

At September 30, 2006, based on its internally generated simulation models, the
Company's consolidated net interest income projected for one year forward would
decrease 29.5% from the base case, or current market, as a result of an
immediate and sustained 2% increase in interest rates.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company's primary sources of funds are deposits, principal and interest
payments on loans and mortgage-backed securities, and borrowings from the FHLB
of New York. While scheduled loan repayments and maturing investments are
relatively predictable, deposit flows and early loan repayments are more
influenced by interest rates, general economic conditions and competition. The
Company sets rates on deposit products for selected terms and, when necessary,
has supplemented deposits with longer-term or less expensive alternative sources
of funds.


                                       22
<PAGE>

The Bank maintains appropriate levels of liquid assets. The Company's most
liquid assets are cash and cash equivalents, U.S. government sponsored agency
securities and mortgage-backed securities. The levels of these assets are
dependent on the Bank's operating, financing, lending and investing activities
during any given period.

In the event that the Company should require funds beyond its ability to
generate them internally, additional sources of funds are available through the
use of FHLB of New York advances, reverse repurchase agreements and various
overnight repricing lines of credit. The Company uses its liquid resources
principally to fund maturing certificates of deposit and deposit withdrawals, to
purchase loans and securities, to fund existing and future loan commitments, and
to meet operating expenses. Management believes that loan repayments and other
sources of funds will be adequate to meet the Company's foreseeable liquidity
needs. Future liquidity requirements are not expected to be significantly
different from historical experience.

The Company's cash inflows for the three months ended September 30, 2006
included $2.8 million of proceeds from the sale of loans, an $85.7 million
increase in deposits (net of accrued interest payable), a $30.0 million increase
in FHLB of New York advances and principal repayments of loans and
mortgage-backed securities. During the three months ended September 30, 2006,
the cash provided was used to repay $91.5 million of maturing FHLB of New York
advances and other borrowings, including short term borrowings, and to fund
investing activities, which included the origination and purchase of loans.

The Company's cash inflows for the three months ended September 30, 2005
included $21.0 million of proceeds from the sale of loans, a $23.7 million
increase in deposits (net of accrued interest payable), a $95.2 million increase
in FHLB of New York advances and other borrowings, including short term
borrowings, and principal repayments of loans and mortgage-backed securities.
During the three months ended September 30, 2005, the cash provided was used to
repay $45.0 million of maturing FHLB of New York advances and other borrowings
and to fund investing activities, which included the origination of loans and
the purchase of $15.0 million of investment securities.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company's most significant form of market risk is interest rate risk, as the
majority of its assets and liabilities are sensitive to changes in interest
rates. See the discussion in this Form 10-Q under "Item 2. Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations-Interest Rate Sensitivity."

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

(a)   Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures:

An evaluation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in
Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Act")) was
carried out as of September 30, 2006 under the supervision and with the
participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer
and several other members of the Company's senior management. The Company's
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of
September 30, 2006, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were
effective in ensuring that the information required to be disclosed by the
Company in the reports it files or submits under the Act is (i) accumulated and
communicated to the Company's management (including the Chief Executive Officer
and Chief Financial Officer) as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding
required disclosure and (ii) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within
the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms.

(b)   Changes in Internal Controls:

During the quarter ended September 30, 2006, no change occurred in the Company's
internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is
reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over
financial reporting.

The Company does not expect that its disclosure controls and procedures and
internal control over financial reporting will prevent all error and all fraud.
A control procedure, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only
reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control procedure
are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control procedures, no
evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues
and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These
inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can
be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake.
Additionally, controls may be circumvented by the individual acts of some
persons, by collusion of two or more people, or


                                       23
<PAGE>

by override of the control. The design of any control procedure also is based in
part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there
can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals
under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate
because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies
or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a
cost-effective control procedure, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur
and not be detected.

          At September 30, 2006, the Company had a repurchase plan under
          which it had not yet completed all approved repurchases. This
          repurchase plan was publicly announced January 25, 2006 and
          authorized the Company to repurchase up to 5%, or 650,000, of its
          outstanding shares over the following 18 months. The Merger
          Agreement between the Company and NYCB entered into on November 2,
          2006 (see Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements)
          provides that the Company may not repurchase any shares of its
          common stock prior to the Merger without the prior written consent
          of NYCB.
