Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(1)      Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Financial Statement Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements were prepared in
accordance with instructions to Form 10-Q, and therefore, do not include
information or footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial
position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles. However, all normal recurring adjustments which,
in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the
financial statements, have been included. These unaudited consolidated financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial
statements and the accompanying notes thereto included in the Annual Report of
IBS Financial Corp. (the "Company") for the fiscal year ended September 30,
1997. The results for the quarter and nine months ended June 30, 1998 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year
ended September 30, 1998. Share and per share data presented herein reflects the
effects of the 15% stock dividend paid on May 6, 1997.

Business

The Company's principal subsidiary, Inter-Boro Savings and Loan Association (the
"Association"), is a New Jersey state chartered stock savings and loan
association conducting business from its branch system located in Camden,
Burlington and Gloucester counties, New Jersey. The Association is subject to
competition from other financial institutions and other companies which provide
financial services. The Company and the Association are subject to the
regulations of certain federal and state agencies and undergo periodic
examinations by those regulatory authorities.

Principles of Consolidation

The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, including the Association. All
significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Additionally, certain reclassifications have been made in order to conform with
the current year's presentation. The accompanying unaudited consolidated
financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting.

(2)      Conversion to Capital Stock Form of Ownership

On May 20, 1994, the Board of Directors of the Association adopted a plan of
conversion to convert from a New Jersey chartered mutual savings and loan
association to a New Jersey chartered capital stock savings and loan association
with the concurrent formation of a holding company ("the Conversion").

The Conversion was completed on October 13, 1994 with the issuance by the
Company of 11,609,723 shares of its common stock in a public offering to the
Association's eligible depositors and borrowers, members of the general public
and the Company's employee stock ownership plan (the "ESOP").

In exchange for 50% of the net Conversion proceeds ($56.6 million), the Company
acquired 100% of the stock of the Association and retained 50% of the net
Conversion proceeds ($56.6 million).

(3)      Common Stock Acquired by the Employee Stock Ownership Plan

In connection with the Conversion, the Company established an ESOP for the
benefit of eligible employees. All share numbers have been adjusted for stock
dividends. The Company purchased 1,174,902 shares of common stock on behalf of
the ESOP in the Conversion. At June 30, 1998, 59,796 shares of the total ESOP
shares were committed to be released with 584,356 shares allocated to
participants. The Company accounts for its ESOP in accordance with Statement of
Position 93-6, "Employers' Accounting for Employee Stock Ownership Plans," which
requires the Company to recognize compensation expense equal to the fair value
of the ESOP shares during the periods in which they become committed to be
released. To the extent that the fair value of the ESOP shares differs from the
cost of such shares, this differential will be charged or credited to equity as
additional paid-in capital. The recorded amount of compensation expense, which
is being recognized over a ten year vesting period, will fluctuate as continuing
adjustments are made to reflect changes in the fair value of the ESOP shares.
Employers with internally leveraged ESOP's, such as the Company, do not report
the loan receivable from the ESOP as an asset and do not report the ESOP debt
from the employer as a liability. At June 30, 1998, the ESOP loan balance, net
of related receivable, amounted to $5,423,000 and is recorded as a charge
against stockholders' equity. The Company recorded compensation and employee
benefit expense related to the ESOP of $610,000 and $1,892,000 for the quarter
and nine months ended June 30, 1998, respectively, compared to $569,000 and
$1,723,000 for the quarter and nine months ended June 30, 1997, respectively.

(4)      Recognition and Retention Plan Trust

At the Company's Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on January 19, 1995, the
Recognition and Retention Plan and Trust (the "RRP") was approved by the
Company's stockholders. In order to fund the RRP, the RRP purchased 587,451
shares, after adjusting for stock dividends, in the open market at an aggregate
cost of $6,085,000. As of June 30, 1998, all available shares



                                       7
<PAGE>

under the RRP had been awarded to the Company's Board of Directors and the
Association's executive officers and other key employees.

At June 30, 1998, the deferred cost of the unearned RRP shares amounted to
$1,900,000 and is recorded as a charge against stockholders' equity.
Compensation expense is being recognized over the five year vesting period for
shares awarded. The Company recorded compensation and employee benefit expense
related to the RRP of $304,000 and $909,000 for the quarter and nine months
ended June 30, 1998, respectively, as compared to $303,000 and $907,000 for the
quarter and nine months ended June 30, 1997, respectively. RRP charges began to
be recorded in the quarter ended June 30, 1995 when the RRP shares were
purchased after receiving required stockholder and regulatory approval.

(5)      Stock Option Plan

The 1995 Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") was approved by the Company's
stockholders at the Annual Meeting on January 19, 1995. All shares have been
adjusted for stock dividends. At June 30, 1998, an aggregate of 1,273,061 stock
options were outstanding and 90,285 stock options were reserved for future
issuance under the Plan. Stock options were granted to directors, executive
officers and other key employees. These options are subject to vesting
provisions as well as other provisions of the Plan.

(6)      Loans Receivable

Loans receivable at June 30, 1998 and September 30, 1997 consisted of the

The provision for loan losses charged to expense is based upon loan and loss
experience and an evaluation of potential losses in the current loan portfolio,
including the evaluation of impaired loans under SFAS Nos. 114 and 118. A loan
is considered to be impaired when, based upon current information and events, it
is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according
to the contractual terms of the loan. An insignificant delay or insignificant
shortfall in the amount of payments does not necessarily result in the loan
being identified as impaired. For this purpose, delays less than 90 days are
considered to be insignificant. As of June 30, 1998, 100% of the impaired loan
balance was measured for impairment based upon the fair value of the loan's
collateral. Impairment losses are included in the provision for loan losses.
SFAS 114 and 118 do not apply to large groups of smaller balance homogenous
loans that are collectively evaluated for impairment, except for those loans
restructured under a troubled debt restructuring. Loans collectively evaluated
for impairment include consumer loans and residential real estate loans. At June
30, 1998 and 1997, the Company's impaired loans consisted of smaller balance
residential mortgage loans.

Nonaccrual loans for which interest has been fully reserved totaled
approximately $782,000 at June 30, 1998 and $818,000 at September 30, 1997.

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

General

The Company's net income for the quarter ended June 30, 1998 was $1.56 million
or $.14 per diluted share compared with $1.62 million or $.15 per diluted share
for the same quarter last year. For the nine months ended June 30, 1998, net
income amounted to $4.68 million or $.43 per diluted share compared with $4.53
million or $.41 per diluted share for the same nine months last year.

The decrease in earnings for the quarter ended June 30, 1998 compared to the
same period last year was principally attributable to a decline in net interest
income that was partially offset by increased loan fees earned and reduced
operating expenses. With the flattening of the yield curve, margins were
compressed and increased repayments of higher rate mortgage-backed securities
and loans were reinvested in lower rate interest-earning assets. The increase in
net income for the nine months ended June 30, 1998 compared to the same time
frame last year was attributable to reduced operating expenses and increased
loan fees that more than offset the decline in net interest income. The
Company's net interest margin averaged 2.98% and 3.06% in the recent quarter and
nine months ended June 30, 1998 compared to 3.19% and 3.15% earned for the same
periods last fiscal year, respectively.

Financial Condition

Total assets increased by $2.9 million or .4% during the first nine months of
fiscal 1998 from $734.8 million at September 30, 1997 to $737.7 million at June
30, 1998. Loan and mortgage-backed securities repayments, and an additional $10
million FHLB advance, were used to originate additional mortgage loans as well
as to invest in mortgage-backed securities and 

                                       11

fund deposit outflows. Securities available for sale decreased by $42.9 million
or 31.4% from $136.4 million (all mortgage-backed securities) at September 30,
1997 to $93.6 million (all mortgage-backed securities) at June 30, 1998. This
decrease reflected significant payments of $104.8 million received on the
mortgage-backed securities portfolio as long-term interest rates declined.
Mortgage-backed securities held to maturity increased by $11.6 million or 3.6%
from $326.9 million at September 30, 1997 to $338.5 million at June 30, 1998,
reflecting additional purchases in excess of payments received during the
period. Loans receivable increased by $32.1 million or 15.3% from $210.0 million
at September 30, 1997 to $242.1 million at June 30, 1998, as loan originations
exceeded loan repayments during the nine month period ended June 30, 1998.

During the nine months ended June 30, 1998, deposits decreased by $7.6 million
or 1.3% from $567.4 million at September 30,1997 to $559.8 million at June 30,
1998, principally reflecting the outflow of a combination of maturing higher
rate certificates and passbook and money-market accounts. FHLB advances
increased by $6.2 million or 18.2% from $34.3 million at September 30, 1997 to
$40.6 million at June 30, 1998. Additional borrowings of $10 million less
repayments of $3.8 during the nine months ended June 30, 1998 were primarily
used to fund loan originations and mortgage-backed securities. Common stock
acquired by the ESOP and RRP decreased by $1.6 million or 18.1% from $8.9
million at September 30, 1997 to $7.3 million at June 30, 1998, reflecting ESOP
payments and RRP expense during the nine month period. Retained earnings
increased by $1.7 million or 5.3% from $32.2 million at September 30, 1997 to
$34.0 million at June 30, 1998. This change resulted from the net income and the
dividends declared during the nine months ended June 30, 1998. Total dividends
declared included the three regular quarterly cash dividends of $.10 per share
each.

Results of  Operations

Net  Income

Net income decreased by $52,000 or 3.2% to $1.564 million for the quarter ended
June 30, 1998, compared with net income of $1.616 million for the same quarter
in the last fiscal year. For the nine months ended June 30, 1998, net income
increased by $149,000 or 3.3 % to $4.677 million, compared with net income of
$4.528 million for the nine months ended June 30, 1997. The decrease in earnings
for the quarter ended June 30, 1998 compared to the same period last year was
principally attributable to a decline in net interest income that was partially
offset by increased loan fees earned and reduced operating expenses. With the
flattening of the yield curve, margins were compressed and increased repayments
of higher rate mortgage-backed securities and loans were reinvested in lower
rate interest-earning assets. The increase in net income for the nine months
ended June 30, 1998 compared to the same time frame last year was attributable
to reduced operating expenses and increased loan fees that more than offset the
decline in net interest income.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income amounted to $5.411 million for the quarter ended June
30,1998, which represents a decrease of $278,000 or 4.9% from the $5.689 million
reported for the comparable prior quarter. For the nine months ended June 30,
1998, net interest income decreased by

                                       12
<PAGE>

$590,000 or 3.5% to $16.480 million from $17.070 million for the nine months
last fiscal year. The decrease in net interest income for the quarter ended June
30, 1998 resulted from a decrease in the net interest rate spread of 27 basis
points for the period, which was partially offset by an increase in the average
balance of net interest-earning assets of $8.4 million or 7.6%. The decrease in
net interest income for the nine months ended June 30, 1998 resulted from a
decrease in the net interest rate spread of 12 basis points, which was partially
offset by an increase in the average balance of net interest-earning assets of
$.8 million or .7%.

Total interest income decreased by $113,000 or .9% to $12.811 million for the
quarter ended June 30, 1998, from $12.924 million for the comparable prior
quarter. For the nine months ended June 30, 1998, total interest income amounted
to $38.401 million, which represents a decrease of $419,000 or 1.1% from the
$38.820 million for the comparable prior nine month period. Average
interest-earning assets increased by $13.4 million or 1.9% to $727.4 million for
the quarter ended June 30, 1998, compared to the same quarter last year and
decreased by $4.4 million or .6% to $718.9 million for the nine months ended
June 30, 1998 compared to the same nine month period last year. The yield earned
on average interest-earning assets decreased by 20 basis points to 7.04% for the
quarter ended June 30, 1998 and decreased by 4 basis points to 7.12% for the
nine months ended June 30, 1998.

Total interest expense increased by $165,000 or 2.3% to $7.400 million for the
quarter ended June 30, 1998 from $ 7.235 million for the comparable quarter last
year. For the nine months ended June 30, 1998, total interest expense amounted
to $21.921 million, which represents an increase of $171,000 or .8% from the
$21.750 million for the comparable nine month period. Average interest-bearing
liabilities increased by $5.0 million or .8% to $608.6 million for the quarter
ended June 30, 1998 from $603.6 million for the comparable quarter last fiscal
year. For the nine months ended June 30, 1998, average interest-bearing
liabilities decreased by $5.2 million or .9% to $601.4 million from $606.6
million for the same nine month period last year. In addition, the average rate
paid on interest-bearing liabilities increased by 7 basis points to 4.86% for
the quarter ended June 30, 1998, while the average rate paid on interest-bearing
liabilities increased by 8 basis points to 4.86% for the nine months ended June
30, 1998.

Provision for loan losses

The Company establishes a provision for loan losses, which is charged to
operations, in order to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level which
is considered to be appropriate based upon an assessment of prior loss
experience, the volume and type of lending currently being engaged in by the
Company, industry standards, past due loans, economic conditions in the
Company's market area generally and other factors related to the collectibility
of the Company's loan portfolio. For the quarters ended June 30, 1998 and 1997,
the same $10,000 provisions for loan losses were determined to be required based
upon the Company's risk assessment of the loan portfolio. For the nine months
ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, the same $30,000 provisions for loan losses was
determined to be required. The allowance for loan losses amounted to $1,094,000
or .5% of the total loan portfolio at June 30, 1998, representing 139.9% of
total nonperforming loans at such date.

Although management utilizes its best judgment in providing for loan losses,
there can be no assurance that the Company will not have to increase its
provisions for loan losses in the future as a result of future increases in
nonperforming loans or for other reasons which could adversely affect the
Company's results of operations. In addition, various regulatory agencies
periodically review the allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require the
Company to recognize additions to the allowance for loan losses based on their
judgments of information that is available to them at the time of their
examination.

Other operating income

Other operating income amounted to $331,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 1998,
an increase of $125,000 or 60.7% over the comparable quarter last year. For the
nine months ended June 30, 1998, other operating income increased by $326,000 or
63.2% to $842,000 from $516,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 1997. The
increases for both the quarter and nine months ended June 30, 1998 were chiefly
due to additional loan fees earned and, for the nine months ended June 30, 1998,
an insurance recovery of $57,000.

Operating expenses

Operating expenses amounted to $3.29 million and $10.24 million for the quarter
and nine months ended June 30, 1998, which reflect decreases of $125,000 or 3.7%
and $386,000 or 3.6% from the comparable prior periods, respectively. The
decreases for both the quarter and nine months ended June 31, 1998 principally
reflected a combination of factors, including decreased legal fees, proxy
expense, advertising expense, occupancy and equipment expense and federal
deposit insurance premium expense. These items were only partially offset by
increased compensation and benefits, principally resulting from the non-cash
charge relating to the excess of the market price over cost of IBSF stock on its
ESOP plan.

Income taxes

Income tax expense amounted to $.88 million for the quarter ended June 30, 1998,
an increase of $24,000 or 2.8% compared to $.86 million for the same quarter
last fiscal year. For the nine months ended June 30, 1998, income tax expense
amounted to $2.38 million, a decrease of $27,000 or 1.1% compared to $2.41
million for the same nine months last year. The change in income tax expense for
both the quarter and nine months ended June 30, 1998 primarily relates to the
income before income taxes for the related periods as well as a reduction in
deferred tax expense no longer determined to be required.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Association's primary sources of funds are deposits, repayments and
maturities of outstanding loans and mortgage-backed securities, maturities of
investment securities and other short-term investments, as well as funds
provided from operations. While scheduled loan and mortgage-backed securities
repayments and maturing investment securities and short-term investments are
relatively predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are
greatly influenced by the movement of interest rates in general, economic
conditions and competition. The Association manages the pricing of its deposits
to maintain a deposit balance

deemed appropriate and desirable. In addition, the Association invests in
short-term interest earning assets which provide liquidity to meet lending
requirements. The Association also utilizes other borrowing sources, principally
advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York. As of June 30, 1998, the
Association's Board of Directors has provided management with the authority to
borrow up to $150 million from the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York.


Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term function. Excess liquidity is
generally invested in short-term investments such as cash and cash equivalents,
U.S. Treasury, U.S. Government agencies and other qualified investments. On a
longer-term basis, the Association maintains a strategy of investing in various
mortgage-backed securities and other investment securities and lending products.
During the quarter ended June 30, 1998, the Association used its sources of
funds primarily to meet its ongoing commitments to pay maturing savings
certificates and savings withdrawals, fund loan and mortgage-backed securities
commitments and maintain an increasing portfolio of mortgage-backed securities.
At June 30, 1998, the total approved loan and mortgage-backed securities
commitments outstanding amounted to $8.0 million. Certificates of deposit
scheduled to mature in one year or less at June 30, 1998 totaled $280.2 million.
Management of the Association believes that the Association has adequate
resources, including principal prepayments and repayments of loans and
mortgage-backed securities and maturing investments, to fund all of its
commitments to the extent required. Based upon its historical run-off
experience, management believes that a significant portion of maturing deposits
will remain with the Association.

The Association is required by the Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS") to
maintain average daily balances of liquid assets and short-term liquid assets as
defined in an amount equal to 4% of net withdrawable deposits and borrowings
payable in one year or less to assure its ability to meet demand for withdrawals
and repayments of short-term borrowings. The liquidity requirements may vary
from time to time at the direction of the OTS depending upon economic conditions
and deposit flows. The Association's average monthly liquidity ratio for June
30, 1997 was 111.4%. This ratio includes all of the Association's
mortgage-backed securities portfolio.

The OTS requires that the Association meet minimum regulatory tangible, core and
risk-based capital requirements. The Association is required to maintain
tangible capital equal to at least 1.5% of its adjusted total assets, core
capital equal to at least 3% of its adjusted total assets and total capital
equal to at least 8% of its risk-weighted assets. At June 30, 1998, the
Association exceeded all regulatory capital requirements. At such date, the
Association, on a bank only basis, had tangible capital equal to 17.6% of
adjusted total assets, core capital equal to 17.6% of adjusted total assets and
total capital equal to 58.9% of risk-weighted assets. At June 30, 1998, the
Company, on a consolidated basis, had tangible capital equal to 17.7% of
adjusted total assets, core capital equal to 17.7% of adjusted total assets and
total capital equal to 59.3% of risk-weighted assets.

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices

The consolidated financial statements of the Company and related notes presented
herein have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles which require the measurement of financial position and operating
results in terms of historical dollars, without considering changes in the
relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation.

Unlike most industrial companies, substantially all of the assets and
liabilities of a financial institution are monetary in nature. As a result,
interest rates have a more significant impact on a financial institution's
performance than the effects of general levels of inflation. Interest rates do
not necessarily move in the same direction or in the same magnitude as the
prices of goods and services, since such prices are affected by inflation to a
larger extent than interest rates. In the current interest rate environment,
liquidity and the maturity structure of the Association's assets and liabilities
are critical to the maintenance of acceptable performance levels.


Year 2000 Computer Problem

The Company has appointed a committee that has assessed and developed a plan to
prepare for the Year 2000 impact on electronic systems, programs and processes.
In addition, it has identified the level of risk that each of the systems pose
to the Company. Testing of revisions to the programs, processes and systems is
scheduled to be completed by January 1, 1999. Most of the Company's data
processing work is provided by third-party data processing service bureaus. The
Company is monitoring the progress of each of these vendors on a continuing
basis. It is currently estimated that the cost of replacing equipment, software
and other incidental costs will approximate $600,000. None of these costs had
been incurred as of June 30, 1998.
