ITEM 1.  DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

General
Bridge View Bancorp (the "Company") is a one-bank holding company incorporated
under the laws of the State of New Jersey in May, 1996 to serve as a holding
company for Bridge View Bank (the "Bank"; unless the context otherwise requires,
all references to the "Company" in this Annual Report shall be deemed to refer
also to the Bank). The Company was organized at the direction of the Board of
Directors of the Bank for the purpose of acquiring all of the capital stock of
the Bank. Pursuant to the New Jersey Banking Act of 1948 (the "Banking Act"), as
amended, and pursuant to approval of the shareholders of the Bank, the Company
acquired the Bank and became its holding company on December 6, 1996. As part of
the Acquisition, shareholders of the Bank received two shares of common stock,
no par value, (the "Common Stock") of the Company for each outstanding share of
the common stock of the Bank, $5.00 per share par value ("Bank Common Stock").
The only significant activities of the Company are the ownership and supervision
of the Bank. The Company's main office is located at 457 Sylvan Avenue,
Englewood Cliffs, Bergen County, New Jersey, 07632.

The Bank is a commercial bank formed under the laws of the State of New Jersey
on October 11, 1988. The Bank operates from its main office at 457 Sylvan
Avenue, Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey, 07632, and its six branch offices located
at 1605 Lemoine Avenue, Fort Lee, New Jersey, 07024, 115 River Road, Edgewater,
New Jersey, 07020, 899 Palisade Avenue, Fort Lee, New Jersey, 07024, 77 River
Street, Hackensack, NJ, 07601, 20 West Railroad Avenue, Tenafly, NJ 07670, and 4
Park Street, Harrington Park, NJ 07640. All branch locations are in Bergen
County, NJ

The Bank is subject to the supervision and regulation of the Board of Governors
of the Federal Reserve System (the "FRB"). The Bank's deposits are insured by
the Bank Insurance Fund (the "BIF") of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
("FDIC") up to applicable limits. The operation of the Company and the Bank are
subject to the supervision and regulation of the FRB, FDIC, and the New Jersey
Department of Banking and Insurance (the " Department"). The principal executive
offices of the Bank are located at 457 Sylvan Avenue, Englewood Cliffs, New
Jersey, 07632, and the telephone number is (201) 871 - 7800.

Business of the Company
The Company's primary business is ownership and supervision of the Bank. The
Company, through the Bank, conducts a traditional commercial banking business,
accepting deposits from the general public, including individuals, businesses,
non-profit organizations, and governmental units. The Bank makes commercial
loans, consumer loans, and both residential and commercial real estate loans. In
addition, the Bank provides other customer services and makes investments in
securities, as permitted by law. The Bank has sought to offer an alternative,
community-oriented style of banking in an area, which is presently dominated by
larger, statewide and national institutions. The Bank has sought to be a
positive force in the area by assisting in the development of the residential
sector, by serving the needs of small and medium-sized businesses and the local
professional community, and by meeting the requirements of individuals residing,
working, and shopping in the Bank's eastern Bergen County market area by



                                       4
<PAGE>

extending consumer, commercial, and real estate loans and by offering depository
services. The Bank believes that the following attributes have attracted local
business people and residents:

o  Competitively priced services;

o  Direct access to Bank management by members of the community, whether during
   or after business hours;

o  Strategically located branch offices;

o  Full service business hours of 7:00 am to 7:00 pm weekdays and 9:00 am to
   1:00 pm Saturdays;

o  Local conditions and needs are taken into account when deciding loan
   applications and making other business decisions affecting members of the
   community;

o  Responsiveness to requests for information and services by depositors and
   others; and

o  Positive involvement in the community affairs of eastern Bergen County.

Since opening in 1990, the Bank has established six branches in addition to its
main office. The Bank expects to continue to seek additional strategically
located de novo branch locations within Bergen County. Particular emphasis will
be placed on presenting an alternative banking culture in communities which are
dominated by non-local competitors and where no community banking approach
exists or in locations which the Company perceives to be economically emerging.

Service Area
The Company's service area primarily consists of the greater area of Bergen
County, New Jersey. The Company operates its main office in Englewood Cliffs,
New Jersey and six branch offices in Fort Lee(2), Edgewater, Hackensack,
Tenafly, and Harrington Park, New Jersey; all in Bergen County, NJ.

Competition
The Company operates in a highly competitive environment competing for deposits
and loans with commercial banks, thrifts, and other financial institutions, many
of which have greater financial resources than the Company. Many large financial
institutions in New York City and other parts of New Jersey compete for the
business of New Jersey residents located in the Company's service area. Certain
of these institutions have significantly higher lending limits than the Company
and provide services to their customers which the Company does not offer. In
addition, the Company's competitors generally have established positions in the
Service Area and have greater resources than the Company with which to pay for
advertising, physical facilities, personnel, and interest on deposited funds.

Management believes the Company is able to compete on a substantially equal
basis with its competitors because it provides responsive personalized services
through its knowledge and awareness of the Company's service area, customers,
and business.

Employees
At December 31, 1999, the Company employed fifty eight full-time employees and
eight part-time employees. None of these employees is covered by a collective
bargaining agreement. The Company believes that its employee relations remain
good.

                           Supervision and Regulation

Bank holding companies and banks are extensively regulated under both federal
and state law. These laws and regulations are intended to protect depositors,
not stockholders. To the extent that the following information describes
statutory and regulatory provisions, it is qualified in its entirety by
reference to the particular statutory and regulatory provisions. Any change in
the applicable law or regulation may have a material effect on the business and
prospects of the Company and the Bank.

Bank Holding Company Regulations
As a bank holding company registered under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956,
as amended (the "BHCA"), the Company is subject to the regulation and
supervision of the FRB. The Company is required to file with the FRB annual
reports and other information regarding its business operations and those of its
subsidiaries. Under the BHCA, the Company's activities and those of its
subsidiaries are limited to banking, managing or controlling banks, furnishing
services to or performing services for its subsidiaries or engaging in any other
activity which the FRB determines to be so closely related to banking or
managing or controlling banks as to be properly incident thereto.

The BHCA requires among other things , the prior approval of the FRB in any case
where a bank holding company proposes to: (i) acquire all or substantially all
of the assets of any other bank, (ii) acquire direct or indirect ownership or
control of more than 5% of the outstanding voting stock of any bank (unless it
owns a majority of such bank's voting shares), or (iii) merge or consolidate
with any other bank holding company. The FRB will not approve any acquisition,
merger, or consolidation that would have a substantially anti-competitive
effect, unless the anti-competitive impact of the proposed transaction is
clearly outweighed by a greater public interest in meeting the convenience and
needs of the community to be served, when reviewing acquisitions or mergers.

Additionally, the BHCA prohibits a bank holding company, with certain limited
exceptions, from (i) acquiring or retaining direct or indirect ownership or
control of more than 5% of the outstanding voting stock of any company which is
not a bank or bank holding company, or (ii) engaging directly or indirectly in
activities other than those of banking, managing, or controlling banks, or
performing services for its subsidiaries; unless such non-banking business is
determined by the FRB to be so closely related to banking or managing or
controlling banks as to be properly incident thereto. In making such
determinations, the FRB is required to weigh the expected benefits to the public
such as greater convenience, increased competition or gains in efficiency,
against the possible adverse effects, such as undue concentration of resources,
decreased or unfair competition, conflicts of interest, or unsound banking
practices.

There are a number of obligations and restrictions imposed on bank holding
companies and their depository institution subsidiaries by law and regulatory
policy that are designed to minimize potential loss to the depositors of such
depository institutions and the FDIC insurance funds in the event the depository
institution becomes in danger of default. Under a policy of the FRB with respect
to bank holding company operations, a bank holding company is required to serve
as a source of financial strength to its subsidiary depository institutions and
to commit resources to support such institutions in circumstances where it might
not do so absent such policy. The FRB also has the authority under the BHCA to
require a bank holding company to terminate any activity or to relinquish
control of a non-banking subsidiary upon the FRB's determination that such
activity or control constitutes a serious risk to the financial soundness and
stability of any bank subsidiary of the bank holding company.


                                       6

The Company is also under the jurisdiction of the Securities and Exchange
Commission for matters relating to the offering and sale of its securities and
is subject to the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and regulations
relating to periodic reporting, reporting to shareholders, proxy solicitations,
and insider trading.

On November 12, 1999, President Clinton signed into law legislation that allows
bank holding companies to engage in a wider range of nonbanking activities,
including greater authority to engage in securities and insurance activities.
Under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (the "GLB Act"), a bank holding company that
elects to become a financial holding company may engage in any activity that the
Federal Reserve Board, in consultation with the Secretary of the Treasury,
determines by regulation or order is (1) financial in nature, (2) incidental to
any such financial activity, or (3) complementary to any such financial activity
and does not pose a substantial risk to the safety or soundness of depository
institutions or the financial system generally. The GLB Act makes significant
changes in the U.S. banking law, principally by repealing the restrictive
provisions of the 1933 Glass-Steagall Act. The GLB Act specifies certain
activities that are deemed to be financial in nature, including lending,
exchanging, transferring, investing for others, or safeguarding money or
securities; underwriting and selling insurance; providing financial, investment,
or economic advisory services; underwriting, dealing in or making a market in,
securities; and any activity currently permitted for bank holding companies by
the Federal Reserve Board under section 4(c)(8) of the Bank Holding Company Act.
The GLB Act does not authorize banks or their affiliates to engage in commercial
activities that are not financial in nature. A bank holding company may elect to
be treated as a financial holding company only if all depository institution
subsidiaries of the holding company are well capitalized, well managed and have
at least a satisfactory rating under the Community Reinvestment Act.

The GLB Act also provides that state banks may invest in financial subsidiaries
(assuming they have the requisite investment authority under applicable state
law) subject to the same conditions that apply to national bank investments in
financial subsidiaries. National banks are also authorized by the GLB Act to
engage, through "financial subsidiaries," in any activity that is permissible
for a financial holding company (as described above) and any activity that the
Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the Federal Reserve Board,
determines is financial in nature or incidental to any such financial activity,
except (1) insurance underwriting, (2) real estate development or real estate
investment activities (unless otherwise permitted by law), (3) insurance company
portfolio investments, and (4) merchant banking. The authority of a national
bank to invest in a financial subsidiary is subject to a number of conditions,
including, among other things, requirements that the bank must be well managed
and well capitalized (after deducting from the bank's capital outstanding
investments in financial subsidiaries.)

The GLB Act also contains a number of other provisions that will affect the
Company's operations and the operations of all financial institutions. One of
the new provisions relates to the financial privacy of consumers, authorizing
federal banking regulators to adopt rules that will limit the ability of banks
and other financial entities to disclose non-public information about consumers
to non-affiliated entities. These limitations are expected to require more
disclosure to consumers, and in some circumstances, to require consent by the
consumer before information is allowed to be provided to a third party. At this
time, the Company does not have any plans to become a financial holding company
and is unable to predict the impact the GLB Act may have upon it or its
subsidiaries' financial condition or results of operations.

Capital Adequacy Guidelines for Bank Holding Companies.
The FRB has adopted risk-based capital guidelines for bank holding companies.
The risk-based capital guidelines are designed to make regulatory capital
requirements more sensitive to differences in risk profile among banks and bank
holding companies to account for off-balance sheet exposure and to minimize
disincentives for holding liquid assets. Under these guidelines, assets and
off-balance sheet items are assigned to broad risk categories each with
appropriate weights. The resulting capital ratios represent capital as a
percentage of total risk-weighted assets and off-balance sheet items.

The risk-based guidelines apply on a consolidated basis to bank holding
companies with consolidated assets of $150 million or more. For bank holding
companies with less than $150 million in consolidated assets, the guidelines
will be applied on a bank-only basis unless: (a) the parent bank holding company
is engaged in non-bank activity involving significant leverage, or (b) the
parent company has a significant amount of outstanding debt that is held by the
general public. The minimum ratio or total capital to risk-weighted assets
(including certain off-balance sheet activities, such as standby letters of
credit) is 8%. At least 4% of the total capital is required to be "Tier I",
consisting of common stockholders' equity and certain preferred stock, less
certain goodwill items and other intangible assets. The remainder, "Tier II
Capital", may consist of (a) the allowance for loan losses of up to 1.25% of
risk-weighted assets, (b) excess of qualifying preferred stock, (c) hybrid
capital instruments, (d) debt, (e) mandatory convertible securities, and (f)
qualifying subordinated debt. Total capital is the sum of Tier I and Tier II
capital less reciprocal holdings of other banking organizations' capital
instruments, investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries and any other deductions
as determined by the FRB (determined on a case-by-case basis or as a matter of
policy after formal rule-making).

Bank holding company assets are given risk-weights of 0%, 20%, 50%, and 100%. In
addition, certain off-balance sheet items are given similar credit conversion
factors to convert them to asset equivalent amounts to which an appropriate
risk-weight will apply. These computations result in the total risk-weighted
assets. Most loans are assigned to the 100% risk category, except for performing
first mortgage loans fully secured by residential property which carry a 50%
risk-weighting. Most investment securities (including, primarily, general
obligation claims of states or other political subdivisions of the United
States) are assigned to the 20% category, except for municipal or state revenue
bonds, which have a 50% risk-weight, and direct obligations of the U.S. Treasury
or obligations backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government, which
have a 0% risk-weight. In converting off-balance sheet items, direct credit
substitutes including general guarantees and standby letters of credit backing
financial obligations, are given a 10% risk-weighting. Transaction related to
contingencies such as bid bonds, standby letters of credit backing non-financial
obligations, and undrawn commitments (including commercial credit lines with an
initial maturity of more than one year) have a 50% risk-weighting. Short term
commercial letters of credit have a 20% risk-weighting and certain short-term
unconditionally cancelable commitments have a 0% risk-weighting.

In addition to the risk-based capital guidelines, the FRB has adopted a minimum
Tier I capital (leverage) ratio, under which a bank holding company must
maintain a minimum level of Tier I capital to average total consolidated assets
of at least 3% in the case of a bank holding company that has the highest
regulatory examination rating and is not contemplating a significant growth or
expansion. All other bank holding companies are expected to maintain a leverage
ratio of at 100 to 200 basis points above the stated minimum.

Bank Regulation
As a New Jersey chartered commercial bank, the Bank is subject to the
regulation, supervision, and control of the New Jersey Department of Banking and
Insurance (the "Department"). As an FDIC-insured institution, the Bank is
subject to regulation, supervision, and control of the FDIC, an agency of the
federal government. The regulations of the FDIC and the Department impact
virtually all activities of the Bank, including the minimum level of capital the
Bank must maintain, the ability of the Bank to pay dividends, and the ability of
the Bank to expand through new branches or acquisitions and various other
matters.

Insurance of Deposits
The Bank's deposits are insured up to a maximum of $100,000 per depositor under
the Bank Insurance Fund (the BIF). The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
Improvements Act of 1991 ("FDICIA") affected a major restructuring of the
federal regulatory framework applicable to depository institutions and deposit
insurance. FDICIA requires the FDIC to establish a risk-based assessment system
for all insured depository institutions. Under this legislation, the FDIC has
established an insurance premium assessment matrix that sets the assessment
premium for a particular institution in accordance with its capital level and
overall rating by the primary regulator. Under the matrix as currently in
effect, the assessment ranges from 0 to 31 basis points of assessed deposits,
with those institutions at the low end of the assessment schedule paying only a
statutory mandated $2,000 premium.

Dividend Rights
Under the Banking Act, a bank may declare and pay dividends only if, after
payment of the dividend, the capital stock of the Company will be unimpaired and
either the bank will have a surplus of not less than 50% of its capital stock or
the payment of the dividend will not reduce the bank's surplus.

The GLB Act also provides that state banks may invest in financial subsidiaries
(assuming they have the requisite investment authority under applicable state
law) subject to the same conditions that apply to national bank investments in
financial subsidiaries. National banks are also authorized by the GLB Act to
engage, through "financial subsidiaries," in any activity that is permissible
for a financial holding company (as described above) and any activity that the
Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the Federal Reserve Board,
determines is financial in nature or incidental to any such financial activity,
except (1) insurance underwriting, (2) real estate development or real estate
investment activities (unless otherwise permitted by law), (3) insurance company
portfolio investments, and (4) merchant banking. The authority of a national
bank to invest in a financial subsidiary is subject to a number of conditions,
including, among other things, requirements that the bank must be well managed
and well capitalized (after deducting from the bank's capital outstanding
investments in financial subsidiaries).

The GLB Act also contains a number of other provisions that will affect the
Company's operations and the operations of all financial institutions. One of
the new provisions relates to the financial privacy of consumers, authorizing
federal banking regulators to adopt rules that will limit the ability of banks
and other financial entities to disclose non-public information about consumers
to non-affiliated entities. These limitations are expected to require more
disclosure to consumers, and in some circumstances, to require consent by the
consumer before information is allowed to be provided to a third party. At this
time, the Company does not have any plans to become a financial holding company
and is unable to predict the impact the GLB Act may have upon it or its
subsidiaries' financial condition or results of operations.

Additional proposals to change the laws and regulations governing the banking
and financial services industry are frequently introduced in Congress, in the
state legislature and before the various bank regulatory agencies. The
likelihood and timing of any such changes and the impact such changes might have
on Bridge View Bank cannot be determined at this time.

Company will be determined by its Board of Directors while giving consideration
to the Company's earnings, capital needs, financial condition, and other
relevant factors, the Board of Directors of the Company currently intends to
adhere to the dividend policy previously established by the Bank.

ITEM 7.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION

The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of
operations should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated
financial statements and the notes thereto included herein. When necessary,
reclassifications have been made to prior years' data throughout the following
discussion and analysis for purposes of comparability.

In addition to historical information, this discussion and analysis contains
forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements contained herein are
subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to
differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements.
Important factors that might cause such a difference include, but are not
limited to, those discussed in this section. Readers are cautioned not to place
undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which reflect management's
analysis only as of the date of the report. The Company undertakes no obligation
to publicly revise or update these forward-looking statements to reflect events
and circumstances that arise after such date.

                              OVERVIEW AND STRATEGY

The Company was formed in 1996 to act as a holding company for the Bank, which
began full service operation as a commercial bank on March 15, 1990. The Company
accepts deposits from the general public, including individuals, businesses,
non-profit organizations and governmental units located primarily within its
trade area. The Company makes commercial loans, consumer loans, residential and
commercial real estate loans, and issues both mastercard and visa credit cards.
In addition, the Company provides other customer services and makes investments
in securities, as permitted by law. The Company has sought to offer an
alternative, community-oriented style of banking in an area presently dominated
by larger, statewide and national institutions. The Company has sought to be a
positive force in its area by assisting in the development of the residential
sector; by serving the needs of small and medium-sized businesses and the local
professional community, and by meeting the requirements of individuals residing,
working, and shopping in the eastern Bergen County, New Jersey market area by
extending consumer, commercial, and real estate loans and by offering depository
services. The Company believes that the following attributes have made the
Company attractive to local business people and residents:

o  Competitively priced services;

o  Strategically located branch offices;

o  Full service business hours of 7:00 am to 7:00 pm weekdays and 9:00 am to
   1:00 pm Saturdays;

o  Local conditions and needs are taken into account when deciding loan
   applications and making other business decisions affecting members of the
   community;

o  Responsiveness to requests for information and services by depositors and
   others; and

o  Positive involvement in the community affairs of eastern Bergen County.


                                       14
<PAGE>

Since opening in 1990, the Bank has established six branches in addition to its
main office. The Company expects to continue to seek additional strategically
located de novo branch locations within Bergen County. Particular emphasis will
continue to be placed on presenting an alternative banking culture in
communities which are dominated by non-local competitors and where no community
banking approach exists or in locations which the Company perceives to be
economically emerging.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - 1999 versus 1998

The Company's results of operations depend primarily on its net interest income,
which is the difference between the interest earned on its interest-earning
assets and the interest paid on funds borrowed to support those assets,
primarily deposits. Net interest margin is the difference between the weighted
average rate received on interest-earning assets and the weighted average rate
paid on interest-bearing liabilities, as well as the average level of
interest-earning assets as compared with that of interest-bearing liabilities.
Net income is also affected by the amount of non-interest income and other
operating expenses.

NET INCOME
For the year ended December 31, 1999, net income increased by $533,000 or 20.5%
to $3,136,000 from $2,603,000 for the year ended December 31, 1998. The increase
in net income for 1999 compared to 1998 is a result of a 19.0% increase in net
interest income to $9,376,000 from $7,877,000 in the prior year and an 8.3%
increase in fee income of $108,000 to $1,409,000 from $1,301,000 for 1998. The
increase in net interest income is the result of a 20.6% increase in total net
loans to $116,961,000 at December 31, 1999, from $96,955,000 at December 31,
1998 combined with a 94.8% increase in total investment securities from
$35,453,000 in 1998 to $69,053,000 in 1999, while interest expense increased
only 5.9% during the same period to $3,182,000 from $3,006,000. The annual
increase in investment securities is driven by an increase in deposits and
represents employment of deposits not used to fund loan growth.

Other expenses increased by $814,000 or 16.8%, to $5,662,000 for the year ended
December 31, 1999 from $4,848,000 for the year ended December 31, 1998. These
increases reflect the Company's continued growth which also affected staff
additions, occupancy expenses, salary and employee benefits, data processing, as

1999 were $1.13 as compared to $0.94 for the year ended December 31, 1998,
representing an increase of 20.2%. Diluted earnings per share were $1.10 for

Analysis of Net Interest Income
Net interest income represents the difference between income on interest-earning
assets and expense on interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income depends
upon the volume of interest-earning assets and interest bearing liabilities and
the interest rate paid on them. For the year ended December 31, 1999, net
interest income increased by $1,506,000, or 19.1%, to $9,383,000 from $7,877,000
for the year ended December 31, 1998 resultant from gains of 20.6% in net loans
and 94.8% in investment securities with a 5.9% increase in interest expense.

Average Balance Sheets
The following table sets forth certain information relating to the Company's
average assets and liabilities for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998, and
1997, and reflects the average yield on assets and average cost of liabilities
for the period indicated. Such yields are derived by dividing income or expense,
on a tax-equivalent basis, by the average balance of assets or liabilities,
respectively, for the periods shown. Securities available for sale are reflected
in the following table at amortized cost. Non-accrual loans are included in the
average loan balance. Amounts have been computed on a fully tax-equivalent
basis, assuming a blended tax rate of 37%.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES
For the year ended December 31, 1999, the Company's provision for loan losses
was $195,000, an increase of $55,000 from the provision of $140,000 for the year
ended December 31, 1998. The increased provision reflects the continued growth
of the loan portfolio.

OTHER INCOME
Other income, which was primarily attributable to service fees received from
deposit accounts, for the year ended December 31, 1999, was $1,409,000, an
increase of $108,000 or 8.3% above the $1,301,000 received during the year ended
December 31, 1998. The increase in service fees is attributable to the higher
level of average deposits.

OTHER EXPENSES
Other expenses for the year ended December 31, 1999 amounted to $5,662,000, an
increase of $814,000 or 16.8% over the $4,848,000 for the year ended December
31, 1998. These increases are related primarily to staff additions, occupancy
expense, data processing fees, customary increases for salary and employee
benefits, as well as other administrative expenses resulting from the bank's
growth.

INCOME TAX EXPENSE
The income tax provision, which includes both federal and state taxes, for the
years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998 was $1,792,000 and $1,587,000,
respectively. The increase in income taxes is a direct result of the increase in
income before taxes in 1999.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - 1998 versus 1997

NET INCOME
For the year ended December 31, 1998, net income increased by $540,000 or 26.2%
to $2,603,000 from $2,063,000 for the year ended December 31, 1997. The increase
in net income for 1998 compared to 1997 is a result of a 15.5% increase in net
interest income to $7,877,000 from $6,819,000 in the prior year and an 18.1%
increase in fee income of $199,000 to $1,301,000 from $1,102,000 for 1997. The
increase in net interest income is the result of an 18.0% increase in total net
loans to $96,955,000 at December 31, 1998, from $82,186,000 at December 31, 1997
combined with a more profitable deposit mix which led to a 3.8% decrease in
interest expense from $3,123,000 in 1997 to $3,006,000 in 1998. The average
yield on interest earning assets decreased slightly to 7.70% for the year ending
December 31, 1998 as compared to 7.81% for the year ending December 31, 1997,
while the volume increases in the Bank's loan and securities portfolio were
primarily funded through deposit growth.

Other expenses increased by $487,000 or 11.2% for the year ended December 31,
1998 compared to 1997. These increases reflect the Company's continued growth
which also affected staff additions, occupancy expenses, salary and employee
benefits, data processing, as well as other administrative expenses attributable
to the Company's new branch office which opened in the fourth quarter of 1998.

On a per share basis, basic earnings per share were $0.94 for the year ended
December 31, 1998 as compared to $0.80 for the year ended December 31, 1997.
Diluted earnings per share were $0.91 for the full year of 1998 as compared to
$0.75 for the full year of 1997. All share data has been restated to reflect all
stock dividends and stock splits through the 1999 stock dividend.

                               FINANCIAL CONDITION

At December 31, 1999, the Company's total assets were $203,272,000 compared to
$170,768,000 at December 31, 1998. Total loans increased to $118,545,000 at
December 31, 1999 from $98,233,000 at December 31, 1998. Total deposits at year
end 1999 were $183,205,000 compared to $152,700,000 at December 31, 1998.


LOAN PORTFOLIO
At December 31, 1999, the Company's total loans were $118,545,000, an increase
of $20,312,000 or 20.7% over total loans of $98,233,000 at December 31, 1998.
The increase in the loan portfolio represents continued penetration of the local
small business market. Management believes that the Company's success in
penetrating this market is attributable to the Company's trade area becoming
primarily served by large institutions headquartered out of state due to mergers
and acquisitions within the industry. Management believes that it is not cost
efficient for these larger institutions to provide the level of personal service
the Company provides to small business borrowers.

The Company's loan portfolio consists of commercial loans, real estate loans,
and consumer loans. Commercial loans are made for the purpose of providing
working capital, financing the purchase of equipment or inventory, as well as
for other business purposes. Real estate loans consist of loans secured by
commercial or residential real property and loans for the construction of
commercial or residential property. Consumer loans are made for the purpose of
financing the purchase of consumer goods, home improvements, and other personal
needs, and are generally secured by the personal property being purchased.

The Company's loans are primarily to businesses and individuals located in
eastern Bergen County, New Jersey. The Company has not made loans to borrowers
outside of the United States. Commercial lending activities are focused
primarily on lending to small business borrowers. The Company believes that its
strategy of customer service, competitive rate structures, and selective
marketing have enabled the Company to gain market entry to local loans. Bank
mergers and lending restrictions at larger banks competing with the Company have
also contributed to the Company's efforts to attract borrowers.

ASSET QUALITY
The Company's principal assets are its loans. Inherent in the lending function
is the risk of the borrower's inability to repay a loan under its existing
terms. Risk elements include non-accrual loans, past due and restructured loans,
potential problem loans, loan concentrations, and other real estate owned.

Non-performing assets include loans that are not accruing interest (non-accrual
loans) as a result of principal or interest being in default for a period of 90
days or more. When a loan is classified as non-accrual, interest accruals
discontinue and all past due interest, including interest applicable to prior
years, is reversed and charged against current income. Until the loan becomes
current, any payments received from the borrower are applied to outstanding
principal until such time as management determines that the financial condition
of the borrower and other factors merit recognition of such payments of
interest.

The Company attempts to minimize overall credit risk through loan
diversification and its loan approval procedures. Due diligence begins at the
time a borrower and the Company begin to discuss the origination of a loan.
Documentation, including a borrower's credit history, materials establishing the
value and liquidity of potential collateral, the purpose of the loan, the source
and timing of the repayment of the loan, and other factors are analyzed before a
loan is submitted for approval. Loans made are also subject to periodic audit
and review.

As of December 31, 1999, the Company has one non-accrual loan which represents a
line of credit. At December 31, 1998, the Company had no non-accrual loans.

Other than as disclosed above, there were no loans where information about
possible credit problems of borrowers causes management to have serious doubts
as to the ultimate collectibility of such loans.

As of December 31, 1999 and 1998, there were no concentrations of loans
exceeding 25% of the Company's total loans and the Company had no foreign loans.
The Company's loans are primarily to businesses and individuals located in
eastern Bergen County, New Jersey.


OTHER REAL ESTATE OWNED
As of December 31, 1999, there is no other real estate owned compared to
$163,000 at December 31, 1998. This decrease was due to the 1999 sale of the
only property owned. Other real estate owned is stated at the lower of the
carrying value or fair market value less estimated cost to sell.

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES
The allowance for loan losses is a reserve established through charges to
earnings in the form of a provision for loan losses. The Company maintains an
allowance for loan losses at a sufficient level to provide for losses inherent
in the loan portfolio. Loan losses are charged directly to the allowance when
they occur and any recovery is credited to the allowance. Risks within the loan
portfolio are analyzed on a continuous basis by the Company's officers, by
external independent loan review function, and by the Company's audit committee.
A risk system, consisting of multiple grading categories, is utilized as an
analytical tool to assess risk and appropriate reserves. In addition to the risk
system, management further evaluates risk characteristics of the loan portfolio
under current and anticipated economic conditions and considers such factors as
the financial condition of the borrower, past and expected loss experience, and
other factors which management feels deserve recognition in establishing an
appropriate reserve. These estimates are reviewed at least quarterly, and, as
adjustments become necessary, they are realized in the periods in which they
become known. Additions to the allowance are made by provisions charged to the
expense and the allowance is reduced by net-chargeoffs (i.e. loans judged to be
uncollectible are charged against the reserve, less any recoveries on the
loans.) Although management attempts to maintain the allowance at an adequate
level, future addition to the allowance may be required based upon changes in
market conditions. Additionally, various regulatory agencies periodically review
the allowance for loan losses. These agencies may require additional provisions
based upon their judgment about information available to them at the time of
their examination.

The Company's allowance for loan losses totaled $1,310,000 and $1,127,000 at
December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. This increase in the allowance is due
to the continued growth of the loan portfolio. The following is a summary of the
reconciliation of the allowance for loan losses for the periods indicated:

INVESTMENT SECURITIES
The Company maintains an investment portfolio to fund increased loan demand or
deposit withdrawals and other liquidity needs and to provide an additional
source of interest income. The portfolio is composed of U.S. Treasury
Securities, obligations of U.S. Government Agencies, selected municipal and
state obligations, stock in the Federal Home Loan Bank, and equity securities of
another financial institution.

Securities are classified as "held-to-maturity" (HTM), "available for sale"
(AFS), or "trading" at time of purchase. Securities classified as HTM are based
upon management's intent and the Company's ability to hold them to maturity.
Such securities are stated at cost, adjusted for unamortized purchase premiums
and discounts. Securities which are bought and held principally for the purpose
of selling them in the near term are classified as trading securities, which are
carried at market value. Realized gains and losses as well as gains and losses
from marking the portfolio to market value are included in trading revenue. The
Company has no trading securities. Securities not classified as HTM or trading
securities are classified as AFS and are stated at fair value. Unrealized gains
and losses on AFS securities are excluded from results of operations, and are
reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive (loss)income which is
included in stockholders' equity, net of taxes. Securities classified as AFS
include securities that may be sold in response to changes in interest rates,
changes in prepayment risks, the need to increase regulatory capital, or other
similar requirements.

Management determines the appropriate classification of securities at the time
of purchase. At December 31, 1999, $46,846,000 of the Company's investment
securities were classified as held to maturity and $22,207,000 were classified
as available for sale. At December 31, 1999, the Company held no securities
which it classified as trading securities.

At December 31, 1999, total investment securities were $69,053,000, an increase
of $33,600,000, from total investment securities of $35,453,000 at December 31,
1998 This increase in investment securities from year end 1998 to year end 1999
reflects an excess of deposits not used to fund loan growth.

The Company sold no securities from its portfolio during 1999 or 1998.

DEPOSITS
Deposits are the Company's primary source of funds. The Company experienced a
growth in average deposit balances of $31,854,000 or 23.1% to $169,858,000 at
December 31, 1999 as compared to $138,004,000 at December 31, 1998. This growth
was accomplished as a result of continued market penetration and the addition of
new branches as well as continued customer referrals during 1999. Among the
increase in deposits, average non-interest bearing deposits grew $11,802,000 or
30.9% from 1998 to 1999 while average interest bearing demand deposits grew
$8,213,000 or 21.2% during 1999 as compared to 1998. Average time deposits also
experienced a significant increase by growing $8,442,000, or 19.2%, from
$43,942,000 in 1998 to $52,384,000 in 1999. The aggregate amount of average
non-interest bearing deposits totaled 29.4% of the Company's total average
deposits at December 31, 1999 as compared to 27.6% at December 31, 1998. The
Company has no foreign deposits, nor are there any material concentrations of
deposits.

The following table sets forth the average amount of various types of deposits
for each of the periods indicated:

LIQUIDITY
The Company's liquidity is a measure of its ability to fund loans, withdrawals
or maturities of deposits, and other cash outflows in a cost-effective manner.
The Company's principal sources of funds are deposits, scheduled amortization
and prepayments of loan principal, maturities of investment securities, and
funds provided by operations. While scheduled loan payments and maturing
investments are relatively predictable sources of funds, deposit flow and loan
prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic
conditions, and competition.

The Company's total deposits equaled $183,205,000 at December 31, 1999 as
compared to $152,700,000 at December 31, 1998. The increase in funds provided by
deposit inflows during this period has been more than sufficient to provide the
Company's loan demand and excess funds have been invested in investment
securities and federal funds sold.

Through the Company's investment portfolio, the Bank has generally sought to
obtain a safe, yet slightly higher yield than would have been available to the
Company as a net seller of overnight federal funds while still maintaining
liquidity. Through its investment portfolio, the Company also attempts to manage
its maturity gap by seeking maturities of investments which coincide as closely
as possible with maturities of deposits. The Bank's investment portfolio also
includes securities held for sale to provide liquidity for anticipated loan
demand and liquidity needs.

Although the Bank has traditionally been a net "seller" of federal funds,
the Bank does have lines of credit with the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York,
Summit Bank, and Bank of New York for "purchase" of federal funds in the event
that temporary liquidity needs arise. The Bank also has the ability to borrow
from the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York should that need arise.

Management believes that the Company's current sources of funds provide adequate
liquidity for the current cash flow needs of the Company.

INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS
The principal objective of the Company's asset and liability management function
is to evaluate the interest-rate risk included in certain balance sheet
accounts; determine the level of risk appropriate given the Company's business
focus, operating environment, capital and liquidity requirements; establish
prudent asset concentration guidelines; and manage the risk consistent with
Board approved guidelines. The Company seeks to reduce the vulnerability of its
operations to changes in interest rates and to manage the ratio of interest-rate
sensitive assets to interest-rate sensitive liabilities within specified
maturities or repricing dates. The Company's actions in this regard are taken
under the guidance of the Asset/Liability Committee (ALCO) of the Board of
Directors. The ALCO generally reviews the Company's liquidity, cash flow needs,
maturities of investments, deposits and borrowings, and current market
conditions and interest rates.

One of the monitoring tools used by the ALCO is an analysis of the extent to
which assets and liabilities are interest rate sensitive and measures the
Company's interest rate sensitivity "gap". An asset or liability is said to be
interest rate sensitive within a specific time period if it will mature or
reprice within that time period. A gap is considered positive when the amount of
interest rate sensitive assets exceeds the amount of interest rate sensitive
liabilities. A gap is considered negative when the amount of interest rate
sensitive liabilities exceeds the amount of interest rate sensitive assets.
Accordingly, during a period of rising rates, a negative gap may result in the
yield on the institution's assets increasing at a slower rate than the increase
in its cost of interest-bearing liabilities resulting in a decrease in net
interest income. Conversely, during a period of falling interest rates, an
institution with a negative gap would experience a repricing of its assets at a
slower rate than its interest-bearing liabilities which, consequently, may
result in its net interest income growing.

The following table sets forth the amounts of interest-earning assets and
interest-bearing liabilities outstanding at the periods indicated which are
anticipated by the Company, based upon certain assumptions, to reprice or mature
in each of the future time periods presented. Except as noted, the amount of
assets and liabilities which reprice or mature during a particular period were
determined in accordance with the earlier of the term to repricing or the
contractual terms of the asset or liability. Because the Bank has no interest
bearing liabilities with a maturity greater than five years, management believes
that a static gap for the over five year time period reflects a more accurate
assessment of interest rate risk. The Company's loan repayment assumptions are
based upon actual historical repayment rates.

MARKET RISK
Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and rates.
The Company's market risk arises primarily from interest rate risk inherent in
its lending and deposit taking activities. Thus, management actively monitors
and manages its interest rate risk exposure.

The Company's profitability is affected by fluctuations in interest rates. A
sudden and substantial increase in interest rates may adversely impact the
Company's earnings to the extent that the interest rates borne by assets and
liabilities do not change at the same speed, to the same extent, or on the same
basis. The Company monitors the impact of changing interest rates on its net
interest income using several tools. One measure of the Company's exposure to
differential changes in interest rates between assets and liabilities is shown
in the Company's Cumulative Rate Sensitive Balance Sheet under the Interest Rate
Sensitivity Analysis caption.

The Company's primary objective in managing interest rate risk is to minimize
the adverse impact of changes in interest rates on the Company's net interest
income and capital, while structuring the Company's asset-liability structure to
obtain the maximum yield-cost spread on that structure. The Company relies
primarily on its asset-liability structure to control interest rate risk.

The Company continually evaluates interest rate risk management opportunities.
Management believes that hedging instruments currently available are not
cost-effective, and therefore, has focused its efforts on increasing the
Company's yield-cost spread through retail growth opportunities.

The following table discloses the Company's financial instruments that are
sensitive to change in interest rates, categorized by expected maturity, and the
instruments' fair values at December 31, 1999. Market risk sensitive instruments
are generally defined as on- and off- balance sheet financial instruments.

CAPITAL
A significant measure of the strength of a financial institution is its capital
base. The Company's federal regulators have classified and defined Company
capital into the following components : (1) Tier I Capital, which includes
tangible shareholders' equity for common stock and qualifying perpetual
preferred stock, and (2) Tier II Capital, which includes a portion of the
allowance for possible loan losses, certain qualifying long-term debt, and
preferred stock which does not qualify for Tier I Capital. Minimum capital
levels are regulated by risk-based capital adequacy guidelines which require
certain capital as a percent of the Company's assets and certain off-balance
sheet items adjusted for predefined credit risk factors (risk-adjusted assets).

A Bank Holding Company is required to maintain, at a minimum, Tier I Capital as
a percentage of risk-adjusted assets of 4.0% and combined Tier I and Tier II
Capital as a percentage risk-adjusted assets of 8.0%.

In addition to the risk-based guidelines, the Company's regulators require that
an institution which meets the regulator's highest performance and operation
standards maintain a minimum leverage ratio (Tier I Capital as a percentage of
tangible assets) of 3.0%. For those institutions with higher levels of risk or
that are experiencing or anticipating significant growth, the minimum leverage
ratio will be evaluated through the ongoing regulatory examination process. The
Company is subject to substantially similar regulations by its federal
regulations.

IMPACT OF INFLATION AND CHANGING PRICES
The consolidated financial statements of the Company and notes thereto,
presented elsewhere 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 the change in the relative purchasing power of money over time and
due to inflation. The impact of inflation is reflected in the increased cost of
the Company's operations. Unlike most industrial companies, nearly all of the
assets and liabilities of the Company are monetary. As a result, interest rates
have a greater impact on the Company's performance than do the effects of
general levels of inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same
direction or to the same extent as the prices of goods and services.


RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS AND OTHER OPERATIONAL ISSUES

SFAS No. 133
In June, 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities". This statement establishes accounting and
reporting standards for derivative instruments and for hedging activities. SFAS
No. 133 supersedes the disclosure requirements in SFAS No. 80, 105, and 119.
This statement was to be effective for periods after June 15, 1999. SFAS 137
extended the adoption date of SFAS 133 to fiscal years beginning after June 15,
2000. The adoption of SFAS No. 133 is not expected to have a material impact on
the financial position or results of operations of the Company.

YEAR 2000
Due to the technological issues surrounding the Year 2000, the Company formally
initiated an ongoing project during 1997 to ensure that its financial condition,
results of operations or liquidity will not be adversely affected by the Year
2000 computer software failures. The Company adopted a Year 2000 Compliance Plan
and established a Year 2000 Compliance Committee, which includes members of
senior management from all areas of company and from the Company's Board of
Directors. The objectives of the plan and the committee were to ensure that the
Bank would be prepared for the new millennium by addressing mission critical as
well as non-mission critical applications. This plan was periodically
represented to the Company's customers and shareholders to provide comfort to
their concerns over the Year 2000.


                                       33



<PAGE>





The Bank's operations continued through the date change from December 31, 1999
to January 1, 2000 without interruption. The Company experienced no significant
Year 2000-related disruptions during that period or since that date. There was
no negative impact upon computer systems, electronic systems, telecommunications
equipment, or utilities. Since implementing the Year 2000 Plan, the Company's
expenditures for external contracts and personnel as well as for system
enhancements to ensure readiness have been less than $75,000.

                          Independent Auditors' Report


The Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Bridge View Bancorp:


We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial condition
of Bridge View Bancorp and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and
the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity, and cash
flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1999.
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the
Corporation's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. 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, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Bridge View Bancorp
and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period
ended December 31, 1999 in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

                      BRIDGE VIEW BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARIES

                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

                           December 31, 1999 and 1998



 (1)   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

       The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts
       of Bridge View Bancorp (the Company) and its direct and indirect
       wholly-owned subsidiaries, Bridge View Bank and Bridge View Investment
       Company (the Bank).

       Organization
       The Bank is a commercial bank which provides a full range of banking
       services to individuals and corporate customers in New Jersey. The Bank
       is subject to competition from other financial institutions. The Bank is
       regulated by state and federal agencies and is subject to periodic
       examinations by those regulatory authorities.

       Basis of Financial Statement Presentation
       The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity
       with generally accepted accounting principles. All significant
       intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. In preparing
       the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make
       estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
       liabilities as of the date of the consolidated statement of financial
       condition and revenues and expenses for the year. Actual results could
       differ significantly from those estimates. Certain prior period amounts
       have been reclassified to conform to the financial statement presentation
       of 1999. The reclassifications have no effect on stockholders' equity or
       net income as previously reported.

       Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant
       change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for
       loan losses. In connection with the determination of the allowance for
       loan losses, management generally obtains independent appraisals for
       significant properties.

       Securities Available for Sale
       Management determines the appropriate classification of securities at the
       time of purchase. If management has the intent and the Bank has the
       ability at the time of purchase to hold securities until maturity, they
       are classified as investment securities. Securities to be held for
       indefinite periods of time and not intended to be held to maturity are
       classified as securities available for sale. Gains or losses on sales of
       securities available for sale are based upon the specific identification
       method. Securities available for sale are reported at fair value with
       changes in the carrying value included in accumulated other comprehensive
       (loss)income which is a separate component of stockholders' equity.



                                       43

       Investment Securities
       Investment securities are carried at the principal amount outstanding,
       adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts using a
       method that approximates the level-yield method over the terms of the
       securities. Investment securities are carried at the principal amount
       outstanding because the Bank has the ability and the intent to hold these
       securities to maturity.

       Premises and Equipment
       Premises and equipment are stated at historical cost, less accumulated
       depreciation and amortization. Depreciation of fixed assets is
       accumulated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of
       the related asset. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a
       straight-line basis over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or
       the term of the lease. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense in
       the year incurred.

       Loans
       Loans are stated at their principal amount outstanding, net of deferred
       loan origination fees and costs. Interest income on loans is accrued and
       credited to interest income when earned. A loan which is 90 days past due
       is reviewed to determine whether such loan should be placed on a
       nonaccrual status. A loan is placed on nonaccrual when collection of
       principal and interest is deemed unlikely. Loans which are well secured
       and in the process of collection are not placed on a nonaccrual status.
       Once a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, interest previously accrued
       and uncollected is charged against current earnings, and interest is
       included in earnings thereafter to the extent received in cash. Loan
       origination fees and certain direct loan origination costs are deferred
       and recognized over the life of the loan as an adjustment to yield using
       a method which approximates the interest method.

       Management, considering current information and events regarding the
       borrowers' ability to repay their obligations, considers a loan to be
       impaired when it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect
       all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement.
       When a loan is considered to be impaired, the amount of impairment is
       measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows
       discounted at the loan's effective interest rate or the fair value of the
       collateral. Impairment losses are included in the allowance for loan
       losses through provisions charged to operations.

       Allowance for Loan Losses
       Losses on loans are charged to the allowance for loan losses. Additions
       to this allowance are made by recoveries of loans previously charged off
       and by a provision charged to expense. The determination of the balance
       of the allowance for loan losses is based on an analysis of the loan
       portfolio, economic conditions and other factors warranting recognition.
       Management believes that the allowance for loan losses is maintained at a
       sufficient level to provide for losses inherent in the loan portfolio.
       While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans,
       future additions may be necessary based on changes in economic
       conditions, particularly in New Jersey. In addition, various regulatory
       agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically
       review the Bank's allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require
       the Bank to recognize additions to the allowance based on their judgments
       about information available to them at the time of their examination.

       OREO is carried at the lower of cost or fair value, less estimated cost
       to sell. When a property is acquired, the excess of the carrying amount
       over fair value, if any, is charged to the allowance for loan losses. An
       allowance for OREO has been established, through charges to OREO expense,
       to maintain properties at the lower of cost or fair value less estimated
       cost to sell. At December 31, 1999, the Company did not have any other
       real estate owned.

       Stock-Based Compensation
       Stock based compensation is accounted for under the intrinsic value based
       method as prescribed by the Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No.
       25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees". Included in the Notes to
       Consolidated Financial Statements are the pro forma disclosures required
       by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123,
       "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", which assumes the fair value
       based method of accounting had been adopted.

       Income Taxes
       The Bank uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income
       taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are
       recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to
       differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing
       assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax
       assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for
       the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be
       recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities
       of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that
       includes the enactment date.

       Earnings Per Share
       Earnings per share is based upon the computational standards established
       by the FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128. This
       statement provided for the replacement of Primary EPS and Fully Diluted
       EPS with Basic EPS and Diluted EPS. Basic EPS excludes dilution and
       represents the effect of earnings upon the weighted average number of
       shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the effect of
       earnings upon weighted average shares including the potential dilution
       that could occur if securities or contracts to issue common stock were
       converted or exercised, utilizing the treasury stock method. All per
       share data has been restated to reflect changes through the 1999 stock
       dividend.

       Comprehensive Income
       Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting
       Comprehensive Income," (SFAS 130) requires entities presenting a complete
       set of financial statements to include details of comprehensive income.
       Comprehensive income consists of net income or loss for the current
       period and income, expenses, or gains and losses that bypass the income
       statement and are reported directly as a separate component of equity.
       The Company includes the required disclosures in the consolidated
       statements of stockholders' equity.

       Cash and Cash Equivalents
       Cash and cash equivalents include cash and due from banks and federal
       funds sold, which are generally sold for one-day periods.

(2)    Formation of Bank Holding Company and Exchange of Common Stock

       The Company is a New Jersey corporation organized in May 1996 at the
       direction of the Board of Directors of the Bank for the purpose of
       acquiring all of the capital stock of the Bank. As part of the
       acquisition in December 1996, shareholders of the Bank received shares of
       the Company's common stock, no par value per share (the Common Stock), in
       a ratio of two shares of Common Stock for each outstanding share of the
       Common Stock of the Bank, $5.00 per share par value. The acquisition was
       accounted for in a manner similar to a pooling of interest resulting in
       no changes in the underlying assets and liabilities.


 (3)   Cash on Hand and Due from Banks

       Included in cash on hand and due from banks at December 31, 1999 and 1998
       was $0.1 million and $3.7 million, respectively, representing reserves
       required to be maintained by the Federal Reserve Bank.

       For the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998, and 1997, respectively,
there were no sales of securities.

       Securities with an amortized cost of $2.0 million were pledged to secure
public funds on deposit at December 31, 1999 and 1998.

       The Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York (FHLBNY).
       As a result, the Bank is required to hold shares of capital stock of
       FHLBNY, which are carried at cost, based upon a specified formula. The
       Bank has a $15,000,000 line of credit with the FHLBNY which is renewable
       each year. The interest rate is variable and generally at 25 basis points
       above the federal funds rate. At December 31, 1999, no amount was
       outstanding under this line of credit.

</TABLE>

       There were no impaired loans at December 31, 1999 and 1998 and as such
       there were no commitments to fund additional amounts to these borrowers.
       As of December 31, 1999, the Company had one non-accrual loan of $25,000
       compared to none at December 31, 1998.

       The Company grants commercial, mortgage and installment loans to those
       New Jersey residents and businesses within its local trading area. Its
       borrowers' abilities to repay their obligations are dependent upon
       various factors, including the borrowers' income and net worth, cash
       flows generated by the underlying collateral, value of the underlying
       collateral and priority of the Company's lien on the property. Such
       factors are dependent upon various economic conditions and individual
       circumstances beyond the Company's control; the Company is therefore
       subject to risk of loss. The Company believes its lending policies and
       procedures adequately minimize the potential exposure to such risks and
       that adequate provisions for loan losses are provided for all known and
       inherent risks.

 (9) Leases

       The Company leases banking facilities under operating leases which expire
       at various dates through 2012, containing certain renewal options. Rental
       expense amounted to $542,000, $672,000 and $594,000 for the years ended
       December 31, 1999, 1998, and 1997, respectively. During 1999, the Bank
       exercised its option to purchase the main office's land in Englewood
       Cliffs from a partnership which includes one of the directors of the
       Company. The purchase price represented the fair value of the land.

       The following is a schedule of future minimum lease payments (exclusive
       of payments for maintenance, insurance, taxes and additional rental
       payments based on increases in certain indexes) for operating leases with

(12) Stockholders' Equity and Dividend Restrictions

       The Bank declared a two for one stock split effective December 1, 1997
       and December 6, 1996 as well as 5% stock dividends effective April 1,
       1999, April 3, 1998, April 1, 1997, April 1, 1996, April 1, 1995, and
       February 28, 1994.

       The Company's ability to pay cash dividends is based on its ability to
       receive cash from its bank subsidiary. New Jersey law provides that no
       dividend may be paid unless, after the payment of such dividend, the
       capital of the Bank will not be impaired and either the Bank will have
       statutory surplus of not less than 50% of its capital stock or the
       payment of such dividend will not reduce the statutory surplus of the
       Bank. At December 31, 1999, this restriction did not result in any
       effective limitations on the manner in which the Bank is currently
       operating.


(13) Benefit Plans

       During 1994, the Bank's stockholders approved the 1994 Stock Option Plan
       for Non Employee Directors (Directors' Plan) and the 1994 Employee Stock
       Option Plan (Employees' Plan). The Directors' Plan provided for options
       to purchase up to 120,809 shares of the Bank's common stock to be issued
       to directors who are not employees of the Bank. The Employees' Plan
       provided for options to purchase up to 120,809 shares of the Bank's
       common stock to be issued to employees of the Bank. Previously issued
       options to an employee of the Bank were terminated upon adoption of these
       plans. The option price per share approximates the market value of the
       Bank's stock on the date of grant. At December 31, 1999, 120,809 granted
       options to purchase shares remain outstanding under the Directors' Plan
       and 74,126 granted options are outstanding under the Employees' Plan.

       During 1998, the Bank's stockholders approved the adoption of an
       additional stock option plan for non-employee directors of the Company
       (the 1998 Stock Option Plan). The 1998 Stock Option Plan authorized the
       granting of 157,500 options to purchase shares of the Company's common
       stock to individuals who were then directors of Bridge View Bancorp.
       During 1998, 147,000 options were granted to non-employee directors. At
       December 31, 1999, 10,500 of these options remain available for future
       distribution.

</TABLE>

       At December 31, 1999, 1998, and 1997, the number of options exercisable
       was 341,935, 341,842, and 172,208, respectively, and the weighted-average

       per share weighted-average fair values of stock options granted during
       1998 were $7.16 on the date of grant using the Black Scholes
       option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions for
       1998 : expected dividend yields of 5.80% and 3.06%, risk-free interest
       rates of 5.4% and 6.3%, and expected lives of five years.

(13) Benefit Plans, continued

       The Corporation applies APB Opinion No. 25 in accounting for its Plans
       and, accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for its stock
       options in the consolidated financial statements. Had the Corporation
       determined compensation cost based on the fair value at the grant date
       for its stock options under SFAS No. 123, the Corporation's net income
       and earnings per share would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts
       indicated below (in thousands, except per share data):

       The Company currently offers a 401(k) profit sharing plan (the Plan)
       covering all full-time employees, wherein employees can invest up to 15%
       of their pretax earnings. The Company matches a percentage of employee
       contributions at the Board's discretion. The Company made matching
       contributions of $26,000, $28,000, and $22,000 in the years ended
       December 31, 1999, 1998, and 1997, respectively.

       During 1998, the Company provided its directors with a Director
       Retirement Plan. The Plan provides for a retirement benefit payable over
       a 5 year period or a death benefit to be provided to the director's
       beneficiaries. During 1999 and 1998, the amount charged to expense
       related to the Retirement Plan was $140,000 and $50,000, respectively.

(14) Regulatory Capital Requirements

       Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) regulations require banks to
       maintain minimum levels of regulatory capital. Under the regulations in
       effect at December 31, 1999, the Bank was required to maintain (i) a
       minimum leverage ratio of Tier I capital to total adjusted assets of
       4.0%, and (ii) minimum ratios of Tier I and total capital to
       risk-weighted assets of 4.0% and 8.0%, respectively.

       Under its prompt corrective actions regulations, the FDIC is required to
       take certain supervisory actions (and may take additional discretionary
       actions) with respect to an undercapitalized institution. Such actions
       could have a direct material effect on the institution's financial
       statements. The regulations establish a framework for the classification
       of savings institutions into five categories: well capitalized,
       adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized,
       and critically undercapitalized. Generally, an institution is considered
       well capitalized if it has a leverage (Tier I) capital ratio of at least
       5.0%; a Tier I risk-based capital ratio of at least 6.0%; and a total
       risk-based capital ratio of at least 10.0%.

       The foregoing capital ratios are based in part on specific quantitative
       measures of assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items as
       calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and
       classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the FDIC
       about capital components, risk weightings and other factors.

       Management believes that, as of December 31, 1999, the Bank meets all
       capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject. Further, the most
       recent FDIC notification categorized the Bank as a well-capitalized
       institution under the prompt corrective action regulations. There have
       been no conditions or events since that notification that management
       believes have changed the Bank's capital classification.

       The following is a summary of the Bank's actual capital amounts and
       ratios as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, compared to the FDIC minimum
       capital adequacy requirements and the FDIC requirements for
       classification as a well-capitalized institution:

(15) Commitments and Contingencies

       The Bank is a party to transactions with off-balance-sheet risk in the
       normal course of business in order to meet the financing needs of its
       customers. These transactions consist of commitments to extend credit and
       involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in
       excess of the amount recognized in the accompanying consolidated
       statements of financial condition.

       The Bank uses the same credit policies and collateral requirements in
       making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for
       on-balance-sheet loans. Commitments to extend credit are agreements to
       lend to customers as long as there is no violation of any condition
       established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration
       dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee.
       Since the commitments may expire without being drawn upon, the total
       commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.
       The Bank evaluates each customer's creditworthiness on a case-by-case
       basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Bank
       upon extension of credit, is based on management's credit evaluation of

       The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair
value of each class of financial instruments:

           Cash and Cash Equivalents

           The carrying amount approximates fair value.

           Securities Available for Sale

           All securities available for sale are valued using quoted market
           prices.

           Investment Securities

           All investment securities are valued using quoted market prices.

           Net Loans

           Fair values are estimated for portfolios of loans with similar
           financial characteristics. Loans are segregated by type, such as
           residential and commercial real estate, commercial and other
           consumer. The fair value of loans is estimated by discounting
           contractual cash flows using estimated market discount rates which
           reflect the credit and interest rate risk inherent in the loans.

           noninterest-bearing demand deposits, is equal to the amount payable
           on demand as of year end. The fair value of certificates of deposit
           is based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The
           discount rate is estimated using the rates currently offered for
           deposits of similar remaining maturities.

           Commitments to Extend Credit

           The fair value of commitments is estimated using the fees currently
           charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the
           remaining terms of the agreements; at December 31, 1999 and 1998,
           such amounts were not material.

           Limitation

           The preceding fair value estimates were made at December 31, 1999 and
           1998, based on pertinent market data and relevant information on the
           financial instrument. These estimates do not include any premium or
           discount that could result from an offer to sell at one time the
           Bank's entire holdings of a particular financial instrument or
           category thereof. Since no market exists for a substantial portion of
           the Bank's financial instruments, fair value estimates were
           necessarily based on judgments regarding future expected loss
           experience, current economic conditions, risk assessment of various
           financial instruments, and other factors. Given the innately
           subjective nature of these estimates, the uncertainties surrounding
           them and the matter of significant judgment that must be applied,
           these fair value estimates cannot be calculated with precision.
           Modifications in such assumptions could meaningfully alter these
           estimates.

           Since these fair value approximations were made solely for on- and
           off-balance-sheet financial instruments at December 31, 1999 and
           1998, no attempt was made to estimate the value of anticipated future
           business. Furthermore, certain tax implications related to the
           realization of the unrealized gains and losses could have a
           substantial impact on these fair value estimates and have not been
           incorporated into the estimates.

(19) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

SFAS 133
In June, 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities". This statement establishes accounting and
reporting standards for derivative instruments and for hedging activities. SFAS
No. 133 supersedes the disclosure requirements in SFAS No. 80, 105, and 119.
This statement was to be effective for periods after June 15, 1999. SFAS 137
delayed the effective date to fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. The
adoption of SFAS 133 is not expected to have a material impact on the financial
position or results of operations of the Company.
