We are seeing it in a very strong equity market, better earnings and a general perception that it is time to come out of the bunker and look to the future for the opportunities that will be there. The last piece to the puzzle will be with the creation of new jobs which must come with an expanding economy. We should never underestimate the resilience of Americans and their resolve to move ahead. The historically low interest rate market in 2003 created an unusual and challenging banking environment. We are very pleased to report that the Bank posted record earnings for the seventh year in a row. Net income for the year was up 3.1% to $12,300,000. These numbers translate into a 1.34% return on average assets and a 15.14% return on average equity. Both are strong and consistent returns for our shareholders. Total assets grew over $108,000,000 to $968,000,000. Our branches continued to grow bringing new customers and opportunities to the Bank. We view the ongoing consolidation of our industry in our market area as a positive. We believe we have a competitive advantage when customers have a choice between us and a bank headquartered in Pittsburgh or Charlotte. Thanks to technology, we are able to offer virtually any service available at large regional or national banks. Our customers have the added advantage of a management team and Board of Directors who live and work in the communities they serve. Outstanding service is our one and only objective. In order to continue our steady growth pattern, we are looking forward to opening two new branches during 2004. The first is our long awaited Oldwick Branch in Tewksbury Township, which is currently under construction and should be ready to open in the late spring. The second is a fabulous building in Morristown. Located at the intersection of Headley Road, Madison Avenue and South Street, our new branch will offer customers easy access and convenience in a very busy area. We will have New Business Officers and Trust & Investment Officers on site to serve our customers. The Morristown Planning Board has just approved our application and we hope to open by early summer. You will find detailed financials in the Management's Discussion and Analysis section of this report, however, there are a few highlights I would like to emphasize. We made the decision to add a little leverage to our balance sheet in order to take advantage of the very low interest rate environment. We did this with a simple borrowing program with the Federal Home Loan Bank. We borrowed approximately $30,000,000 with an average life of six years at an average rate of 3.36%. We feel confident that during the term of this program our net interest income will benefit. In the meantime we were able to match fund some of our new longer-term fixed rate assets, which attempts to remove interest rate risk from that part of our balance sheet. Readers will notice that balances in some of our loan portfolios actually dropped during the course of the year. As our customers know, we portfolio most of the loans that we originate. This is because we will be able to provide better service to our customers than second or third or fourth party providers. We made the decision, because of the historically low interest rate environment, not to incur the interest rate 2 risk of booking and holding long-term fixed rate mortgages. As anticipated, our balances did decline, however we believe we made the right decision in the long term for our Bank in this business environment. Another point we would like to emphasize is that our non-performing loans were at an all time low of 0.05% of total loans as of December 31, 2003. A total of $215,000 was considered non-performing out of total loan portfolios of over $420,000,000. We believe that this coupled with a balance sheet structured to benefit from gradually rising rates over the next few years, puts the Bank in a very strong position for the future. On November 3, 2003 your Board paid a 10% stock dividend and increased the quarterly cash dividend to 10(cent) per share. Combined, the quarterly cash dividend increased 22% with the November payout. This is on top of a 20% increase in 2002 and an 18% increase in 2001. Investor returns are a primary focus of the Board and Management. We continue to believe that the best way to create shareholder value is to post strong earnings as we did in 2003. While our stock price was flat during the year, we are pleased with the three-year average increase in market capitalization of 24% and average return on equity for the same period of 15.74%. We manage the Bank for the long term, not quarter to quarter. We believe that our focus on steady growth in assets and earnings is recognized in the market place and will ultimately continue to reward our shareholders. We remind our shareholders that our dividend reinvestment program is available. Information is available at the branches or you may call Mr. Edwin Carr directly at Registrar and Transfer Company at (800) 368-5948. PGB Trust & Investments had another outstanding year. The market value of assets held in the Department grew to over $1,400,000,000, an increase of 14.2%. Fees generated by this area grew 23% to $5,800,000. During 2003 we were very pleased to have formed an alliance with the Rumson-Fair Haven Bank and Trust to provide trust and investment services to their customers on a referral basis. We believe this is an exciting new business model. It works not only for the benefit of both organizations but also for the new customers who will find PGB Trust & Investments ready, willing and very able to help them and their families plan and reach their financial goals. It cannot be stressed often enough, that in order to reach a financial goal, you have to take the time to make a plan. We can help you grow your assets and minimize your tax expense during your lifetime. We can help you develop an estate plan that addresses your specific needs and those of your family. We will ensure that your plan is carried out generation to generation. Please call either Craig Spengeman at (908) 719-3301 or John Bonk at (908) 719-3318 to find out how our outstanding Trust & Investment Department can become part of your team. Finally, we would like to thank our Employees, Officers and Directors for their outstanding efforts during 2003. We especially want to thank our customers and shareholders for their confidence in us. Please refer your friends and associates to your Bank. Your referral is our best source of new business. /s/ Frank A. Kissel /s/ Robert M. Rogers Frank A. Kissel Robert M. Rogers Chairman & CEO President & COO 3 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OVERVIEW: The following discussion and analysis is intended to provide information about the financial condition and results of operations of Peapack-Gladstone Financial Corporation and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated Financial Statements and the related notes and supplemental financial information appearing elsewhere in this report. All share and per share amounts have been restated to reflect the 10 percent stock dividend issued in 2003 and all prior stock dividends and splits. Peapack-Gladstone Financial Corporation (the "Corporation"), formed in 1997, is the parent holding company for Peapack-Gladstone Bank, formed in 1921, a commercial bank operating sixteen branches and one mini branch in Somerset, Hunterdon, and Morris counties. During 2003, the cash dividend rate was increased to $0.10 per share. This new rate, coupled with the 10 percent stock dividend paid on November 1, 2003, effectively raised the cash dividend rate by 22 percent over the previous rate of $0.09 per share. The year ended December 31, 2003 represented a year of moderate earnings growth for the Corporation. The continuing low interest rate environment negatively affected net interest income, yet deposit growth was strong. As discussed in this Management's Discussion and Analysis section some of the highlights are as follows: o Assets increased 13 percent bringing the total assets of the Corporation to $968 million. o PGB Trust and Investments managed assets exceeded $1.4 billion in market value for the first time. o Deposits grew 10 percent and surpassed the $845 million level. Peapack-Gladstone Financial Corporation's common stock trades on the American Stock Exchange under the symbol "PGC". CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES: "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation" is based upon the Corporation's consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires the Corporation to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Note 1 to the Corporation's Audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2003, contains a summary of the Corporation's significant accounting policies. Management believes the Corporation's policy with respect to the methodology for the determination of the allowance for loan losses involves a higher degree of complexity and requires management to make difficult and subjective judgments, which often require assumptions or estimates about highly uncertain matters. Changes in these judgments, assumptions or estimates could materially impact results of operations. This critical policy and its application are periodically reviewed with the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors. The provision for loan losses is based upon management's evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance, including an assessment of known and inherent risks in the portfolio, giving consideration to the size and composition of the loan portfolio, actual loan loss experience, level of delinquencies, detailed analysis of individual loans for which full collectibility may not be assured, the existence and estimated net realizable value of any underlying collateral and guarantees securing the loans, and current economic and market conditions. Although 4 management uses the best information available, the level of the allowance for loan losses remains an estimate, which is subject to significant judgment and short-term change. Various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Corporation's allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require the Corporation to make additional provisions for loan losses based upon information available to them at the time of their examination. Furthermore, the majority of the Corporation's loans are secured by real estate in the State of New Jersey. Accordingly, the collectibility of a substantial portion of the carrying value of the Corporation's loan portfolio is susceptible to changes in local market conditions and may be adversely affected should real estate values decline or the Central New Jersey area experience an adverse economic shock. Future adjustments to the allowance for loan losses may be necessary due to economic, operating, regulatory and other conditions beyond the Corporation's control. [THE FOLLOWING TABLE WAS DEPICTED AS A BAR CHART IN THE PRINTED MATERIAL.] RETURN ON AVERAGE EQUITY IN PERCENT 15.67 15.30 15.03 17.06 15.14 ----------------------------------------------------------- '99 '00 '01 '02 '03 RETURN ON AVERAGE ASSETS IN PERCENT 1.48 1.47 1.42 1.53 1.34 ----------------------------------------------------------- '99 '00 '01 '02 '03 EARNINGS SUMMARY: The Corporation's net income increased 3 percent to $12.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2003 compared to $11.9 million earned in 2002. Earnings per diluted share were $1.62 as compared to $1.59 in 2002, an increase of 2 percent. These results produced a return on average assets of 1.34 percent as compared to 1.53 percent in 2002 and a return on average shareholders' equity of 15.14 percent as compared to 17.06 percent in 2002. The increase in net income for 2003 was primarily due to higher Trust fees, other income and net security gains offset in part by lower net interest income, higher salaries and benefits and premises and equipment expenses. In 2003, the Corporation experienced strong growth in assets and deposits; however, the historically low interest rates mitigated the impact of the growth by lowering interest income. Conversely, the low interest rate environment lowered rates paid on deposits. NET INTEREST INCOME: Net interest income, the primary source of the Corporation's operating income, is the difference between interest and dividends earned on earning assets and fees earned on loans, and interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities. Earning assets include loans to individuals and businesses, investment securities, interest-earning deposits and federal funds sold. Interest-bearing liabilities include interest-bearing checking, savings and time deposits, Federal Home Loan Bank advances and other borrowings. Net interest income is determined by the difference between the yields earned on earning assets and the rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities ("Net Interest Spread") and the relative amounts of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. The Corporation's net interest spread is affected 5 by regulatory, economic and competitive factors that influence interest rates, loan demand and deposit flows and general levels of non-performing assets. Net interest income (on a tax-equivalent basis) declined from $32.4 million in 2002 to $31.8 million in 2003. While average earning assets increased $126.3 million or 17 percent from the average balances in 2002, the interest earned on these assets declined. Interest expense declined $1.8 million or 15 percent over the levels recorded in 2002 on average balances of interest-bearing liabilities that increased $103.2 million or 18 percent. Lower rates were earned on earning assets in 2003, declining to 4.88 percent from 6.04 percent earned in 2002, Lower rates were paid on interest-bearing liabilities, which declined from 2.05 percent to 1.49 percent. In 2003, the net interest margin declined to 3.69 percent from 4.40 percent in 2002. Interest income on earning assets (on a tax-equivalent basis) declined $2.3 million or 5 percent to $42.1 million. This decrease was primarily due to lower interest rates on investment securities and loans, which earned 122 basis points less and 71 basis points less, respectively. Federal funds sold and interest-earning deposits rates earned also declined by 119 basis points. During 2003, average investments increased 50 percent to $448.0 million, while average loans declined $17.4 million or 4 percent to $407.3 million. The Corporation reduced the balances of the lower yielding federal funds sold and interest-earning deposits, by 41 percent to $7.0 million in order to invest in higher yielding investment securities. The decline in interest expense was primarily due to lower rates paid on all categories of interest-bearing liabilities. The rate paid on interest-bearing deposits declined 61 basis points to 1.43 percent in 2003 as compared to 2.04 percent in 2002. Rates paid on borrowings declined 42 basis points to 2.51 percent. The decline in interest rates paid in 2003 reflects the overall decline in market interest rates, as rates continued to fall to historically low levels. [THE FOLLOWING TABLE WAS DEPICTED AS A BAR CHART IN THE PRINTED MATERIAL.] NET INTEREST INCOME IN MILLIONS $21.2 $23.1 $25.0 $31.9 $31.2 ----------------------------------------------------------- '99 '00 '01 '02 '03 Partially offsetting lower rates paid was strong growth in most deposit categories. Tiered money market accounts showed the strongest growth, increasing $47.9 million on average. Savings accounts and interest bearing checking grew $10.3 million and $8.3 million on average, respectively. Average noninterest-bearing demand deposits increased $24.0 million or 21 percent during 2003 as compared to 2002. During 2003, the Corporation positioned some of its borrowings to try to take advantage of the low long-term interest rate environment that existed. This strategy of extending the maturities of borrowings and matching with lower yielding fixed rate loans is intended to reduce interest rate risk if interest rates begin to rise. As a result, average borrowings increased $27.4 million to $35.2 million. 6 LOANS: The loan portfolio represents a significant portion of the Corporation's earning assets and is an important source of interest and fee income. Loan originations are primarily originated in the Bank's market or surrounding areas. Total loans increased $17.2 million, or 4 percent, to $427.0 million from 2002 levels. This increase was primarily in commercial mortgage loans, which increased $21.0 million or 19 percent. This growth was primarily due to the addition of new commercial business development officers to the professional staff. Residential loans secured by first liens on 1-4 family homes declined $2.8 million or 1 percent in 2003, while commercial loans declined $1.2 million or 7 percent from 2002 levels. Loans totaling $1.6 million were sold to the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) during the third and fourth quarters of 2003 at a gain of $13 thousand. The loans sold represented lower yielding, longer-term mortgages. The sale of these loans will mitigate interest rate risk if interest rates rise. The yield on total loans averaged 6.18 percent for 2003, a 71 basis point decline from the 6.89 percent average yield earned in 2002. The average yield on the mortgage portfolio declined in 2003 to 6.26 percent from 6.98 percent in 2002. The average yield on the commercial loan portfolio declined 64 basis points to 5.74 percent. The decline in yields earned in 2003 reflects the overall decline in market interest rates as the Federal Reserve kept short-term interest rates at a historical low during the year.

(1) MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES ARE SHOWN USING STATED FINAL MATURITY. Federal funds sold and interest-earning deposits are an integral part of the Corporation's investment and liquidity strategies. The combined average balance of these vehicles during 2003 was $7.0 million as compared to $11.9 million in 2002. 8 DEPOSITS: Total deposits at December 31, 2003 were $845.8 million, an increase of $76.1 million or 10 percent from $769.7 million at December 31, 2002. Our strategy is to fund earning asset growth with core deposits, which is an important factor in the generation of net interest income. Marketing, sales efforts, and new branch locations all contributed to the strong growth in deposits. Total average deposits increased $99.8 million or 14 percent over 2002 levels.

The Corporation considers FHLB advances an added source of funding, and accordingly, executes transactions from time to time to meet its funding requirements. During 2003, the Corporation extended the maturities of some of its borrowings and matched them with lower yielding fixed rate loans.

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES AND RELATED PROVISION: The allowance for loan losses was $5.5 million at December 31, 2003 as compared to $4.8 million at December 31, 2002. The allowance for loan losses currently provides 25.4 times the coverage of all non-performing assets. At December 31, 2003, the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans outstanding was 1.28 percent compared to 1.17 percent at December 31, 2002 and 0.96 percent at December 31, 2001. The provision for loan losses declined $200 thousand, or 25 percent, to $600 thousand for 2003, compared to $800 thousand for 2002. The decrease in provision was due primarily to reduced levels on non-performing loans, net recoveries on loans, partially offset by increases in loans outstanding and changes in the composition of the loan portfolio. The provision was based upon management's review and evaluation of the size and composition of the loan portfolio, actual loan loss experience, level of delinquencies, general market and economic conditions, detailed analysis of individual loans for which full collectibility may not be assured, and the existence and net realizable value of the collateral and guarantees securing the loans. Although management used the best information available, the level of the allowance for loan losses remains an estimate, which is subject to significant judgment and short-term change. Various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Corporation's allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require the Corporation to make additional provisions for loan losses based upon information available to them at the time of their examination. Furthermore, the majority of the Corporation's loans are secured by real estate in the State of New Jersey. Accordingly, the collectibility of a substantial portion of the carrying value of the Corporation's loan portfolio is susceptible to changes in local market conditions and may be adversely affected should real estate values decline or our market area in Central New Jersey experiences an adverse economic downturn. Future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary due to economic, operating, regulatory and other conditions beyond the Corporation's control. 12 THE FOLLOWING TABLE PRESENTS THE LOAN LOSS EXPERIENCE DURING THE PERIODS ENDED DECEMBER 31,

(1) The Corporation does not have an estimate of the actual pension contribution for 2005 and beyond; however the Corporation anticipates that it will be at least the same annual amount as 2004 of $1.2 million. 14 Long-term debt obligations include borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank with defined terms. The chart is based on scheduled repayments of principal. Operating leases represent obligations entered into by the Corporation for the use of land and premises. The leases generally have escalation terms based upon certain defined indexes. Common area maintenance charges may also apply and are adjusted annually based on the terms of the lease agreements. Purchase obligations represent legally binding and enforceable agreements to purchase goods and services from third parties and consist of contractual obligations under data processing service agreements, as well as the contract for the construction of a new branch in Oldwick. The Corporation also enters into various routine rental and maintenance contracts for facilities and equipment. These contracts are generally for one year and are not significant to the consolidated financial statements of the Corporation. Other long-term liabilities include the anticipated 2004 pension contribution. OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS: The following table shows the amounts and expected maturities of significant commitments, as of December 31, 2003.

Commitments under standby letters of credit, both financial and performance do not necessarily represent future cash requirements, in that these commitments often expire without being drawn upon. OTHER INCOME: Other income before gains on securities was $9.0 million in 2003, an increase of 14 percent over 2002 levels. This increase was primarily due to higher trust fees and additions to cash surrender value of Bank Owned Life Insurance. Trust fees rose $1.1 million or 23 percent over the levels recorded in 2002. This increase is attributable to increased volume of business as the book value of assets under management increased $89.2 million or 9 percent over last year's levels. During the third quarter of 2001 and again in the fourth quarter of 2002, the Corporation invested in Bank Owned Life Insurance (BOLI) to assist in offsetting the rising costs of employee benefits. In 2003, other income of $880 thousand was realized on increased cash surrender value on these policies, as compared to $791 thousand in 2002. For 2003, other noninterest income includes $13 thousand of income related to the sale of loans to the Federal Home Loan Bank. For the year ended December 31, 2003, net securities gains were $1.3 million as compared to $52 thousand recorded in 2002. THE FOLLOWING TABLE PRESENTS THE MAJOR COMPONENTS OF OTHER INCOME:

15 OTHER EXPENSES: In 2003, other expense totaled $22.8 million, an increase of $1.4 million or 7 percent compared to $21.4 million in 2002. This increase is commensurate with the growth in the overall level of bank and trust business activity. Salaries and benefits expense, which accounts for the largest portion of other expenses, increased $1.3 million or 11 percent in 2003 as compared to 2002. This increase was directly related to increased officer and staff levels, normal merit increases, promotional raises and higher benefit costs. Within the fringe benefit costs, pension plan expenses rose $360 thousand or 51 percent and health insurance expenses increased $112 thousand or 20 percent above 2002 levels. The full time equivalent number of employees rose to 209 at December 31, 2003 from 205 a year ago. Premises and equipment expense increased to $4.8 million from $4.2 million in 2002. This increase was primarily due to the Corporation's continued investment in technology, as the Bank converted to a new core processing system in 2003. Higher occupancy expenses were attributable to costs associated with a new branch location and a new operations center scheduled to open in 2004. Professional and legal fees declined $155 thousand as compared to 2002. In 2002, the Corporation had higher legal and consulting fees to support the expansion in business activity, as well as costs associated with internal training programs and services to enhance audit and financial controls. The Corporation strives to operate in an efficient manner and control costs as a means of producing increased earnings and enhancing shareholder value. THE FOLLOWING TABLE PRESENTS THE MAJOR COMPONENTS OF OTHER EXPENSES: (IN THOUSANDS) 2003 2002 2001 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SALARIES AND BENEFITS $13,262 $11,962 $ 9,975 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT 4,836 4,150 3,598 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PROFESSIONAL AND LEGAL FEES 568 723 369 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ADVERTISING 460 670 568 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- STATIONERY AND SUPPLIES 521 496 490 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TRUST DEPARTMENT 487 451 368 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TELEPHONE 376 390 339 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- POSTAGE 318 332 320 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- OTHER EXPENSE 1,958 2,181 1,796 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TOTAL OTHER EXPENSE $22,786 $21,355 $17,823 =============================================================================== INCOME TAXES: Income tax expense for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 was $5.8 million. The effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2003 was 32.00 percent compared to 32.72 percent for the year ended December 31, 2002. While taxable income rose from $17.7 million to $18.1 million, income tax expense in 2003 remained stable due to a lower effective tax rate from increased tax-exempt income. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 2002 COMPARED TO 2001: Net income for the year ended December 31, 2002 increased 34 percent to $11.9 million compared to $8.9 million earned in 2001. Diluted earnings per share increased 33 percent to $1.59 per share from $1.20 per share earned in 2001. The increase in net income for 2002 was primarily due to higher net interest income, Trust fees and other income, offset in part by higher salaries and benefits, other expenses and income taxes. These results produced a return on average assets of 1.53 percent as compared to 1.42 percent in 2001 and a return on average shareholders' equity of 17.06 percent as compared to 15.03 percent in 2001. 16 Net interest income (on a tax-equivalent basis) totaled $32.4 million for 2002, an increase of $6.9 million or 27 percent over the $25.5 million recorded in 2001. The increase was primarily due to a $141.9 million or 24 percent increase in average earning assets and lower interest expense, which declined $3.4 million or 22 percent over levels recorded in 2001. This increase was offset in part by lower rates earned on earning assets, which declined to 6.04 percent from 6.89 percent earned in 2001, and higher interest-bearing liabilities, which rose $125.0 million on average. The growth of net interest income was also due to higher average noninterest-bearing demand deposits, which increased $12.6 million or 12 percent during 2002 as compared to 2001. The net interest margin in 2002 increased to 4.40 percent from 4.28 percent in 2001. Other income before gains and losses on securities was $7.9 million in 2002, an increase of 22 percent over 2001 levels. This increase was primarily due to higher trust fees, additions to cash surrender value of Bank Owned Life Insurance, and service charges on deposit accounts. Trust fees rose $665 thousand or 17 percent over the levels recorded in 2001. This increase is attributable to increased volume of business as the book value of assets under management increased $233.3 million or 30 percent over 2001 levels. During the third quarter of 2001, the Corporation invested $12 million in Bank Owned Life Insurance (BOLI) to assist in offsetting the rising costs of employee benefits, and realized other income of $791 thousand on increased cash surrender value on these policies in 2002, as compared to $264 thousand in 2001. Additional investments of $2.8 million were made in the fourth quarter of 2002. For the year ended December 31, 2002, net securities gains were $52 thousand as compared to $189 thousand recorded in 2001. Other expense totaled $21.4 million in 2002, an increase of $3.5 million or 20 percent compared to $17.8 million in 2001. This increase is commensurate with the level of growth in the Bank and PGB Trust and Investments and the addition of two branch locations. Salaries and benefits expense, the largest component of other expense, increased $2.0 million, or 20 percent, to $12.0 million from $10.0 million in 2001. This increase was related to increased officer and staff levels, normal merit increases, promotional raises and higher benefit costs. The full-time equivalent number of employees rose to 205 at December 31, 2002 from 180 at December 31, 2001. Premises and equipment expense increased to $4.2 million from $3.6 million in 2001. This increase was primarily due to higher expenses related to the new branches in Clinton and Warren and higher overall operating cost of facilities. Professional fees also increased in 2002, to $723 thousand from $369 thousand, an increase of $354 thousand. This increase is attributable to higher legal and consulting fees to support the expansion in business activity, as well as costs associated with internal training programs and services to enhance audit and financial controls. CAPITAL RESOURCES: The solid capital base of the Corporation provides the ability for future growth and financial strength. Maintaining a strong capital position supports the Corporation's goal of providing shareholders an attractive and stable long-term return on investment. At $85.1 million, total shareholders' equity grew 10 percent or $7.9 million as compared with $77.2 million at December 31, 2002. At December 31, 2003, unrealized gains on securities, net of taxes, were $2.7 million as compared to unrealized gains on securities, net of taxes, of $4.8 million at December 31, 2002. Federal regulations require banks to meet target Tier 1 and total capital ratios of 4 percent and 8 percent, respectively. At 20.38 percent and 21.74 percent, the Corporation's Tier 1 and total capital ratios are well in excess of regulatory minimums. The Corporation's capital leverage ratio was 8.91 percent at December 31, 2003. 17 LIQUIDITY: Liquidity refers to an institution's ability to meet short-term requirements in the form of loan requests, deposit withdrawals and maturing obligations. Principal sources of liquidity include cash, temporary investments and securities available for sale. Management feels the Corporation's liquidity position is sufficient to meet future needs. Cash and cash equivalents, including federal funds sold, averaged $25.9 million in 2003. In addition, the Corporation has $356.0 million in securities designated as available for sale. These securities can be sold in response to liquidity concerns. As of December 31, 2003, investment securities and securities available for sale maturing within one year amounted to $16.8 million and cash and cash equivalents totaled $22.7 million. Another source of liquidity is borrowing capacity. The Corporation has a variety of sources of short-term liquidity available, including short and long-term borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York, short-term borrowings from the Federal Reserve Bank Discount Window, and loan participation or sales of loans. The Corporation also generates liquidity from the regular principal payments made on its loan portfolio and on its mortgage-backed security portfolio. INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY: Interest rate sensitivity is a measure of the relationship between interest-earning assets and supporting funds, which are susceptible to changes in interest rates during comparable time periods. Interest rate movements on deposits have made managing the Corporation's interest rate sensitivity increasingly more important as a means of managing net interest income. The Corporation's Asset/Liability Committee is responsible for managing the exposure to changes in market interest rates. The "sensitivity" gap quantifies the repricing mismatch between assets and supporting funds over various time intervals. The cumulative gap position as a percentage of total rate-sensitive assets provides one relative measure of the Corporation's interest rate exposure. The Corporation's ratio of rate-sensitive assets to rate-sensitive liabilities was approximately .71 on December 31, 2003 for the next twelve months subject to certain assumptions explained in the following paragraph. Since this ratio is less than 1.00, the Corporation has a "negative gap" position, which may cause its assets to reprice more slowly than its deposit liabilities. In a declining interest rate environment, interest costs may be expected to fall faster than the interest received on earning assets, thus increasing the net interest spread. If interest rates increase, a negative gap means that the interest received on earning assets may be expected to increase more slowly than the interest paid on the Corporation's liabilities, therefore decreasing the net interest spread. For purposes of calculating the gap position, 25 percent of noninterest-earning demand deposits, interest-bearing checking accounts and savings deposits are included in the 0-3 month category. The remainder is decayed at 10 percent per year with the rest included in the greater than five years category. Included in the 0-3 month category are 50 percent of the money market accounts, which are then decayed at 10 percent per year with the remainder included in the greater than five years category. The Corporation recognizes that certain of these deposits are more stable with an effective maturity greater than their repricing frequency. Assets and liabilities are included based on their maturities and prepayment assumptions or period to first repricing, subject to the foregoing assumptions. 18 THE TABLE BELOW PRESENTS THE MATURITY AND REPRICING RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN INTEREST-EARNING ASSETS AND INTEREST-BEARING DEPOSITS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2003 (IN THOUSANDS):

(1) LOAN BALANCES DO NOT INCLUDE NONACCRUAL LOANS. MARKET RISK SENSITIVE INSTRUMENTS: A derivative financial instrument includes futures, forwards, interest rate swaps, option contracts and other financial instruments with similar characteristics. The Corporation currently does not enter into futures, forwards, swaps or options. However, the Corporation is party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of the customers of the Corporation. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. These instruments involve to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated statements of condition. Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates and may require collateral from the borrower if deemed necessary by the Corporation. Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Corporation to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party up to a stipulated amount and with specified terms and conditions. Commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit are not recorded as an asset or liability by the Corporation until the instrument is exercised. The Corporation's exposure to market risk is reviewed on a regular basis by the Asset/Liability Committee. Interest rate risk is the potential of economic losses due to future interest rate changes. These economic losses can be reflected as a loss of future net interest income and/or a loss of current fair market values. The objective is to measure the effect on net interest income and to adjust the statement of condition to minimize the inherent risk while at the same time maximize income. Management realizes certain risks are inherent and that the goal is to identify and minimize the risks. Tools used by management include the standard GAP report and interest rate shock simulation report. The Corporation has no market risk sensitive instruments held for trading purposes. Management believes the Corporation's market risk is reasonable at this time. 19 THE FOLLOWING TABLE PRESENTS THE SCHEDULED MATURITY OF MARKET RISK SENSITIVE INSTRUMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2003 (IN THOUSANDS):

(1) LOAN BALANCES DO NOT INCLUDE NONACCRUAL LOANS. EFFECTS OF INFLATION AND CHANGING PRICES: The financial statements and related financial data presented herein have been prepared in terms of historical dollars without considering changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. Unlike most industrial companies, virtually 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 do general levels of inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same magnitude as the prices of goods and services. The Corporation believes residential real estate values have stabilized, however, if real estate prices in the Corporation's trade area decrease, the values of real estate collateralizing the Corporation's loans and real estate held by the Corporation as other real estate owned could also be adversely affected. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS: In December 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003), "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities," which addresses how a business enterprise should evaluate whether it has a controlling financial interest in an entity through means other than voting rights and accordingly should consolidate the entity. FIN 46R replaces FASB Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities," which was issued in January 2003. The Corporation will be required to apply FIN 46R to variable interests in VIEs created after December 31, 2003. For variable interests in VIEs created before January 1, 2004, the assets, liabilities and noncontrolling interests of the VIE initially would be measured at their carrying amounts with any difference between the net amount added to the balance sheet and any previously recognized interest being recognized as the cumulative effect of an accounting change. If determining the carrying amounts is not practicable, fair value at the date FIN 46R first applies may be used to measure the assets, liabilities and noncontrolling interest of the VIE. The initial adoption of FIN 46 and FIN 46R is not expected to have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Corporation. FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity," was issued in May 2003. This Statement establishes standards for the classification and measurement of certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. The Statement 20 also includes required disclosures for financial instruments within its scope. For the Corporation, the Statement was effective for instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003 and otherwise will be effective as of January 1, 2004, except for mandatorily redeemable financial instruments. For certain mandatorily redeemable financial instruments, the Statement will be effective for the Corporation on January 1, 2005. The effective date has been deferred indefinitely for certain other types of mandatorily redeemable financial instruments. The Corporation currently does not have any financial instruments that are within the scope of this Statement.

The Statement amends and clarifies accounting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities under SFAS 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." This Statement was effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003. The provisions of SFAS No. 149 which relate to the commitments to originate or purchase mortgages that the Corporation intends to hold for sale or forward purchases or sales of when-issued securities or other securities that do not yet exist, should be applied to both existing contracts and new contracts entered into after June 30, 2003. The adoption of SFAS No. 149 did not have an impact on the Corporation's consolidated financial statements. PGB TRUST AND INVESTMENTS: PGB Trust and Investments, a division of the Bank, continues to be an extremely important part of Peapack-Gladstone Financial Corporation. Since its inception in 1972, it has served in the roles of executor and trustee while providing investment management, custodial, tax, retirement, and financial services to its growing client base. The book value of assets under management in PGB Trust and Investments increased from $1.0 billion at December 31, 2002, to $1.1 billion at December 31, 2003, an increase of 9 percent. The corresponding market value at December 31, 2003 was in excess of $1.4 billion. Fee income generated by PGB Trust and Investments was $5.8 million, $4.7 million and $4.0 million in 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS: The foregoing contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements are not historical facts and include expressions about management's view of future interest income and net loans, management's confidence and strategies and management's expectations about new and existing programs and products, relationships, opportunities, and market conditions. These statements may be identified by such forward-looking terminology as "expect", "look", "believe", "anticipate", "may", "will", or similar statements or variations of such terms. Actual results may differ materially from such forward-looking statements. Factors that may cause results to differ materially from such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, an unexpected decline in the direction of the economy in New Jersey, an unexpected decline or no increase in interest rates, continued unexpected loan prepayment volume, a decline in levels of loan quality and origination volume and a decline in the volume of increase in trust assets or deposits. Peapack-Gladstone Financial Corporation assumes no obligation for updating any such forward-looking statements at any time. 21 SELECTED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL DATA: THE FOLLOWING IS SELECTED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL DATA FOR THE CORPORATION AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES FOR THE YEARS INDICATED.

24 INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND SHAREHOLDERS PEAPACK-GLADSTONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of condition of Peapack-Gladstone Financial Corporation and subsidiary as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2003. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company'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 auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. 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.

See Accompanying Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements 30 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION AND ORGANIZATION: The consolidated financial statements of the Corporation are prepared on the accrual basis and include the accounts of the Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiary, Peapack-Gladstone Bank. The consolidated statements also include the Bank's wholly owned subsidiaries, Peapack-Gladstone Investment Company and it's wholly owned subsidiary, Peapack-Gladstone Mortgage Group, Inc. While the following footnotes include the collective results of Peapack-Gladstone Financial Corporation and Peapack-Gladstone Bank, these footnotes primarily reflect the Bank's and its subsidiaries' activities. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated from the accompanying consolidated financial statements. BUSINESS: Peapack-Gladstone Bank, the subsidiary of the Corporation, provides a full range of banking services to individual and corporate customers through its branch operations in central New Jersey. The Bank is subject to competition from other financial institutions, is regulated by certain federal and state agencies and undergoes periodic examinations by those regulatory authorities. BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION: The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In preparing the financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the statement of condition and revenues and expenses for that period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS: For purposes of the statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash and due from banks and federal funds sold. Generally, federal funds are sold for one-day periods. INVESTMENT SECURITIES: Investment securities are comprised of debt securities that the Corporation has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity. Such securities are stated at cost, adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discount over the term of the investments. SECURITIES AVAILABLE FOR SALE: Debt securities that cannot be categorized as investment securities are classified as securities available for sale. Such securities include debt securities to be held for indefinite periods of time and not intended to be held to maturity, as well as marketable equity securities. Securities held for indefinite periods of time include securities that management intends to use as part of its asset/liability management strategy and that may be sold in response to changes in interest rates, resultant prepayment risk and other factors related to interest rate and resultant prepayment risk changes. Securities available for sale are carried at fair value and unrealized holding gains and losses (net of related tax effects) on such securities are excluded from earnings, but are included in Shareholders' Equity as Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. Upon realization, such gains or losses are included in earnings using the specific identification method. LOANS: Loans are stated at the principal amount outstanding. Loan origination fees and certain direct loan origination costs are deferred and recognized over the life of the loan as an adjustment to the loan's yield. The accrual of income on loans, including impaired loans, is discontinued if certain factors indicate reasonable doubt as to the timely collectibility of such 31 interest, generally when the loan becomes over 90 days delinquent. A non-accrual loan is not returned to an accrual status until factors indicating doubtful collection no longer exist. The majority of the loans are secured by real estate located within the Corporation's market area in central New Jersey. ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES: The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level considered adequate to provide for probable loan losses inherent in the portfolio. The allowance is based on management's evaluation of the loan portfolio considering economic conditions, the volume and nature of the loan portfolio, historical loan loss experience, and individual credit situations. The allowance is increased by provisions charged to expense and reduced by net charge-offs. Management believes that the allowance for loan losses is adequate. While management uses available information to recognize loan losses, future additions to the allowance may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require the Corporation to recognize additions to the allowance based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examinations. 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 Corporation 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 fair value of the collateral. Impairment losses are included in the allowance for loan losses through provisions charged to operations. PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT: Premises and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation charges are computed using the straight-line method. Premises and equipment are depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. The cost of major renewals and improvements are capitalized. Gains or losses realized on routine dispositions are recorded as other income or other expense. OTHER REAL ESTATE OWNED: Other real estate owned is carried at fair value minus estimated costs to sell, based on an independent appraisal. When a property is acquired, the excess of the loan balance over the estimated fair value is charged to the allowance for loan losses. Any subsequent write-downs that may be required to the carrying value of the properties or losses on the sale of properties are charged to the valuation allowance on other real estate owned or to other expense. INCOME TAXES: The Corporation files a consolidated Federal income tax return. Separate State income tax returns are filed for each subsidiary based on current laws and regulations. The Corporation recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in its financial statements or tax returns. The measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities is based on the enacted tax rates applicable to taxable income for the years in which these temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Such tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effect of a change in tax rates in the period of enactment. STOCK OPTION PLANS: At December 31, 2003, the Corporation had stock-based employee and non-employee director compensation plans, which are described more fully in Note 12. The Corporation accounts for those plans under the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related Interpretations. No stock-based employee compensation cost is reflected in net income as all options granted under those plans had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of the grant. 32 The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the Corporation had applied the fair value recognition provisions of FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to stock-based employee compensation:

EARNINGS PER SHARE: The numerator of both the Basic and Diluted EPS is equivalent to net income. The weighted average number of shares outstanding used in the denominator for Diluted EPS is increased over the denominator used for Basic EPS by the effect of potentially dilutive common stock equivalents utilizing the treasury stock method. Common stock equivalents are common stock options outstanding. All share and per share amounts have been restated to reflect the 10 percent stock dividend in 2003. The following table shows the calculation of both Basic and Diluted earnings per share for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001:
(IN THOUSANDS EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA) 2003 2002 2001 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ NET INCOME $ 12,300 $ 11,925 $ 8,924 ====================================================================================================== BASIC WEIGHTED AVERAGE SHARES OUTSTANDING 7,384,030 7,348,262 7,321,239 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ PLUS: COMMON STOCK EQUIVALENTS 210,057 150,412 123,098 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ DILUTED WEIGHTED AVERAGE SHARES OUTSTANDING 7,594,087 7,498,674 7,444,337 ====================================================================================================== EARNINGS PER SHARE: BASIC $ 1.67 $ 1.62 $ 1.22 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ DILUTED 1.62 1.59 1.20 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
33 TREASURY STOCK: Treasury stock is recorded using the cost method and accordingly is presented as an unallocated reduction of shareholders' equity. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME: Comprehensive income consists of net income and net unrealized gains (losses) on securities available for sale and is presented in the consolidated statements of changes in shareholders' equity. RECLASSIFICATION: Certain reclassifications have been made in the prior periods' financial statements in order to conform to the 2003 presentation. RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS: In November 2003, the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) issued EITF Issue No. 03-1 "The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and its Application to Certain Investments." Issue 03-1 requires new tabular and narrative disclosure items effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2003. Companies are required to provide expanded information about their debt and marketable equity securities with market values below carrying values. The narrative information must include positive and negative information management considered in concluding the unrealized loss was not other-than-temporary and therefore was not recognized. The Corporation's disclosures in notes 2 and 3 incorporate the requirements of Issue No. 03-1. In December 2003, FASB Statement No. 132 (revised), "Employers' Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits," was issued. Statement 132 (revised) prescribes employers' disclosures about pension plans and other postretirement benefit plans; it does not change the measurement or recognition of those plans. The Statement retains and revises the disclosure requirements contained in the original Statement 132. It also requires additional disclosures about the assets, obligations, cash flows, and net periodic benefit cost of defined benefit pension plans and other postretirement benefit plans. The Statement generally is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2003. The Corporation's disclosures in note 11 incorporate the requirements of Statement 132 (revised). 2.

34 The amortized cost and approximate market value of investment securities as of December 31, 2003, by contractual maturity, are shown below. Expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or repay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

During 2001, the Corporation transferred one security in the amount of $1.0 million from Held to Maturity to Available for Sale. The security had a market value of $1.0 million. The transfer was made due to a significant deterioration in the issuer's credit worthiness. The security was subsequently sold at a gain of $27 thousand. The following table presents the Corporation's investment securities with continuous unrealized losses and the approximate market value of these investments.

Management has determined that these unrealized losses are temporary and due to interest rate fluctuations rather than the credit ratings of the issuers. The Corporation has a policy to purchase only from issuers with an investment grade credit rating and monitors credit ratings periodically. The unrealized losses on investments in mortgage-backed securities were caused by interest rate increases. The contractual cash flows of these securities are guaranteed by U.S. government agencies. It is expected that the securities would not be settled at a price less than the amortized cost of the investment. Because the decline in fair value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality, and because the Corporation has the intent to hold these investments until maturity, these investments are not considered other-than-temporarily impaired. Most of the securities issued by state and political subdivisions in the table above are issued by municipalities located in New Jersey and have had unrealized losses for six months or less. These investments represent purchases in municipal bonds, which generally have lower coupons; however many are not taxable by the Federal government and their effective yield is higher. Because the Corporation intends to hold these securities to mature at par, no loss is anticipated. 35 3.

Management has determined that these unrealized losses are temporary and due to interest rate fluctuations and volatility rather than the credit ratings of the issuers. The Corporation has a policy to purchase only from issuers with an investment grade credit rating and monitors credit ratings periodically. The unrealized losses on investments in U.S. government agency bonds were caused by interest rate increases. The contractual terms of these investments do not permit the issuer to settle the securities at a price less than the amortized cost of the investment. Because the Corporation has the ability and intent to hold these investments until a market price recovery or maturity, these investments are not considered other-than-temporarily impaired. The unrealized losses on investments in mortgage-backed securities were caused by interest rate increases. The contractual cash flows of these securities are guaranteed by U.S. government agencies. It is expected that the securities would not be settled at a price less than the amortized cost of the investment. Because the decline in fair value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality, and because the Corporation has the ability and intent to hold these investments until a market price recovery or maturity, these investments are not considered other-than-temporarily impaired. The other debt securities with unrealized losses caused by interest rate increases are adjustable and will price to par at the time of the rate reset. The Corporation has the ability and intent to hold these investments until a market price recovery or maturity; therefore these investments are not considered other-than-temporarily impaired. 4. LOANS Loans outstanding as of December 31, 2003 and 2002 consisted of the following: (IN THOUSANDS) 2003 2002 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- LOANS SECURED BY 1-4 FAMILY $256,301 $267,155 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE 130,968 109,932 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CONSTRUCTION LOANS 9,799 2,063 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- COMMERCIAL LOANS 16,632 17,859 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CONSUMER LOANS 10,223 8,206 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- OTHER LOANS 3,078 4,545 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TOTAL LOANS $427,001 $409,760 ================================================================================ 37 Non-accrual loans totaled $159 thousand and $180 thousand at December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest totaled $56 thousand and $203 thousand at December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. There are no commitments to lend additional amounts on non-accrual loans. The amount of interest income recognized on year-end non-accrual loans totaled $3 thousand, $5 thousand and $10 thousand in 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Interest income of $11 thousand, $12 thousand and $20 thousand would have been recognized during 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively, under contractual terms for such non-accrual loans. The Corporation defines an impaired loan as an investment in a loan that is on non-accrual status with a principal outstanding balance in excess of $100 thousand. Residential mortgage loans, a group of homogeneous loans that are collectively evaluated for impairment, and consumer loans are excluded. There were no impaired loans as of or for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002. 5.

FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK ADVANCES AND OTHER BORROWINGS At December 31, 2003 and 2002, advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York (FHLB) totaled $30.0 million and $5.0 million, respectively, with a weighted average interest rate of 3.36 percent and 3.53 percent, respectively. These advances are secured by blanket pledges of 1-4 family residential mortgages totaling $121.6 million at December 31, 2003 and $110.9 million at December 31, 2002. Advances totaling $18.0 million at December 31, 2003, have fixed maturity dates, while advances totaling $12.0 million were amortizing advances with monthly payments of principal and interest. THE FINAL MATURITY DATES OF THE ADVANCES ARE SCHEDULED AS FOLLOWS: (IN THOUSANDS) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2004 $ 3,000 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2005 -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2006 2,000 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2007 -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2008 2,622 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- OVER 5 YEARS 22,410 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TOTAL $ 30,032 ================================================================================ In addition, other borrowings consisting of overnight borrowings at FHLB had an average balance of $13.4 million with a weighted average interest rate of 1.17 percent and $2.8 million with a weighted average interest rate of 1.85 percent for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. No amounts were outstanding as of December 31, 2003 or 2002. The maximum amount outstanding at any month end during 2003 and 2002 was $33.6 million and $18.5 million, respectively. 9. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The Corporation discloses estimated fair values for its significant financial instruments. Because no market exists for a significant portion of the Corporation's financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments and other factors. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of significant financial instruments: CASH AND SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS - The carrying amount of cash and short-term investments is considered to be fair value. SECURITIES - The fair value of securities is based upon quoted market prices. LOANS - The fair value of loans is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the build-up approach consisting of four components: the risk-free rate, credit quality, operating expense and prepayment option price. DEPOSITS - The fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, such as demand deposits, checking accounts, savings and money market accounts, is equal to the carrying amount. The fair value of certificates of deposit is based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. LONG-TERM DEBT - The fair value of FHLB advances is based on the discounted value of estimated cash flows. The discount rate is estimated using the rates currently offered for similar advances. 39 The following table summarizes carrying amounts and fair values for financial instruments at December 31, 2003 and 2002:
(IN THOUSANDS) 2003 2002 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ CARRYING FAIR CARRYING FAIR AMOUNT VALUE AMOUNT VALUE ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FINANCIAL ASSETS: CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS $ 22,695 $ 22,695 $ 38,320 $ 38,320 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- INTEREST-EARNING DEPOSITS 30,949 30,949 549 549 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- INVESTMENT SECURITIES 97,701 99,515 168,066 171,290 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SECURITIES AVAILABLE FOR SALE 355,998 355,998 212,259 212,259 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- LOANS, NET OF ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES 421,534 422,844 404,962 423,090 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FINANCIAL LIABILITIES: DEPOSITS 845,771 846,528 769,688 772,822 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- LONG-TERM DEBT 30,032 29,335 5,000 5,114 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
10. INCOME TAXES The income tax expense included in the consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, is allocated as follows:
(IN THOUSANDS) 2003 2002 2001 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FEDERAL: CURRENT EXPENSE $ 6,939 $ 2,010 $ 4,493 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DEFERRED (BENEFIT)/EXPENSE (1,304) 3,615 (252) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- STATE: CURRENT EXPENSE 69 230 181 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DEFERRED EXPENSE/(BENEFIT) 83 (55) (61) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TOTAL INCOME TAX EXPENSE $ 5,787 $ 5,800 $ 4,361 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY: DEFERRED EXPENSE ON UNREALIZED GAIN ON SECURITIES AVAILABLE FOR SALE $ 1,530 $ 2,757 $ 698 =====================================================================================
Total income tax expense differed from the amounts computed by applying the U.S. Federal income tax rate of 35 percent in 2003 and 2002 and 34 percent in 2001 to income before taxes as a result of the following:
(IN THOUSANDS) 2003 2002 2001 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- COMPUTED "EXPECTED" TAX EXPENSE $ 6,330 $ 6,204 $ 4,517 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- INCREASE/(DECREASE) IN TAXES RESULTING FROM: TAX-EXEMPT INCOME (384) (323) (234) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- STATE INCOME TAXES 99 114 79 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BANK OWNED LIFE INSURANCE INCOME (279) (251) (82) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- OTHER 21 56 81 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TOTAL INCOME TAX EXPENSE $ 5,787 $ 5,800 $ 4,361 =====================================================================================
40 The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant portions of the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities as of December 31, 2003 and 2002 are as follows: (IN THOUSANDS) 2003 2002 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DEFERRED TAX ASSETS: LOANS, PRINCIPALLY DUE TO ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES AND DEFERRED FEE INCOME $ 2,178 $ 1,814 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- POST RETIREMENT BENEFITS OTHER THAN PENSIONS 61 107 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- START-UP & ORGANIZATION COSTS 10 33 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CAPITAL LOSS CARRYOVER 3 20 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CONTRIBUTION LIMITATION 5 -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TOTAL GROSS DEFERRED ASSETS $ 2,257 $ 1,974 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DEFERRED TAX LIABILITIES INVESTMENT SECURITIES, PRINCIPALLY DUE TO THE ACCRETION OF BOND DISCOUNT 53 41 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- UNREALIZED GAIN ON SECURITIES AVAILABLE FOR SALE 1,663 3,193 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DEFERRED LOAN ORIGINATION COSTS AND FEES 348 311 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DEFERRED REIT DIVIDEND 2,435 3,652 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BANK PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT, PRINCIPALLY DUE TO DIFFERENCES IN DEPRECIATION 799 569 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TOTAL GROSS DEFERRED LIABILITIES 5,298 7,766 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NET DEFERRED TAX LIABILITY $(3,041) $(5,792) ================================================================================ Based upon taxes paid and projected future taxable income, management believes that it is more likely than not that the gross deferred tax assets will be realized. 11. BENEFIT PLANS PENSION PLAN The Corporation has a defined benefit pension plan covering substantially all of its salaried employees. The benefits are based on an employee's compensation during the five years before retirement, age at retirement and years of service. The Corporation makes annual contributions to the plan equal to the maximum amount that can be deducted for income tax purposes. 41 The following table shows the change in benefit obligation, the change in plan assets and the funded status for the plan at December 31, (IN THOUSANDS) 2003 2002 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CHANGE IN BENEFIT OBLIGATION -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BENEFIT OBLIGATION AT BEGINNING OF YEAR $ 6,782 $ 5,642 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SERVICE COST 978 744 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- INTEREST COST 437 388 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ACTUARIAL LOSS 726 610 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BENEFITS PAID (475) (602) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BENEFIT OBLIGATION AT END OF YEAR $ 8,448 $ 6,782 ================================================================================ CHANGE IN PLAN ASSETS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FAIR VALUE OF PLAN ASSETS AT BEGINNING OF YEAR $ 4,944 $ 5,185 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ACTUAL RETURN ON PLAN ASSETS 980 (485) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTION 1,223 846 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BENEFITS PAID (475) (602) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FAIR VALUE OF PLAN ASSETS AT END OF YEAR $ 6,672 $ 4,944 ================================================================================ FUNDED STATUS $(1,776) $(1,838) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- UNRECOGNIZED TRANSITION ASSET (38) (45) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- UNRECOGNIZED PRIOR SERVICE COST (3) (3) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- UNRECOGNIZED NET ACTUARIAL GAIN 1,895 1,809 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ACCRUED BENEFIT COST $ 78 $ (77) ================================================================================ The accumulated benefit obligation for the pension plan was $5.7 million and $5.0 million at December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Net periodic expense for the years ended December 31 included the following components: (IN THOUSANDS) 2003 2002 2001 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SERVICE COST $ 978 $ 744 $ 590 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- INTEREST COST 437 388 360 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- EXPECTED RETURN ON PLAN ASSETS (395) (392) (459) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- AMORTIZATION OF: NET LOSS/(GAIN) 55 -- (19) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- UNRECOGNIZED PRIOR SERVICE COST 1 1 1 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- UNRECOGNIZED REMAINING NET ASSETS (7) (7) (7) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NET PERIODIC BENEFIT COST $ 1,069 $ 734 $ 466 ================================================================================ The following table shows the actuarial assumptions applied for the valuation of plan obligations at December 31, 2003 2002 2001 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WEIGHTED-AVERAGE DISCOUNT RATE 6% 6.5% 7% -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WEIGHTED-AVERAGE RATE OF INCREASE ON FUTURE COMPENSATION 3% 3% 3% -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WEIGHTED-AVERAGE EXPECTED LONG-TERM RATE OF RETURN ON PLAN ASSETS 6.5% 7% 8% -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Corporation's overall expected long-term rate of return on assets is 6.5 percent. The expected long-term rate of return is based on the portfolio as a whole and not on the sum of the returns on individual asset categories. 42 The weighted-average asset allocation of the Corporation's pension benefits at December 31, 2003 and 2002 were as follows: PENSION BENEFITS PLAN ASSETS AT DECEMBER 31 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ASSET CATEGORY 2003 2002 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- EQUITY SECURITIES 59.8% 54.7% -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DEBT SECURITIES 29.0 36.3 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS 11.2 9.0 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TOTAL 100.0% 100.0% ================================================================================ The Corporation's investment policies and strategies for the pension benefits plan do not use target allocations for the individual asset categories. The Corporation's investment goals are to maximize returns subject to specific risk management policies. Its risk management policies permit investments in mutual funds, and prohibit direct investments in debt and equity securities and derivative financial instruments. The Corporations addresses diversification by the use of mutual fund investments whose underlying investments are in domestic and international fixed income securities and domestic and international equity securities. These mutual funds are readily marketable and can be sold to fund benefit payment obligations as they become payable. The Corporation expects to contribute $1.2 million to its pension plan in 2004. SAVINGS AND PROFIT SHARING PLANS: In addition to the retirement plan, the Corporation sponsors a profit sharing plan and a savings plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code, covering substantially all salaried employees over the age of 21 with at least 12 months service. Under the savings portion of the plan, employee contributions are partially matched by the Corporation. Expense for the savings plan was approximately $36 thousand, $33 thousand and $30 thousand in 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Contributions to the profit sharing portion are made at the discretion of the Board of Directors and all funds are invested solely in Corporation stock. The contribution to the profit sharing plan was $375 thousand in 2003, $350 thousand in 2002 and $300 thousand in 2001. 12. STOCK OPTION PLANS The Corporation's incentive stock option plans allow the granting of up to 725,663 shares of the Corporation's common stock to certain key employees. The options granted under these plans are, in general, exercisable not earlier than one year after the date of grant, at a price equal to the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant, and expire not more than ten years after the date of grant. The stock options will vest during a period of up to five years after the date of grant. Options granted to officers at or above the senior vice president level are immediately exercisable at the date of grant. 43 Changes in options outstanding during the past three years were as follows: OPTION PRICE SHARES PER SHARE -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BALANCE DECEMBER 31, 2000 327,588 $6.12 - $22.57 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- GRANTED DURING 2001 91,146 14.98 - 20.40 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- EXERCISED DURING 2001 (54,472) 6.12 - 13.03 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FORFEITED DURING 2001 (7,198) 13.03 - 18.55 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BALANCE, DECEMBER 31, 2001 357,064 $6.12 - $22.57 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- GRANTED DURING 2002 6,380 16.59 - 29.32 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- EXERCISED DURING 2002 (51,874) 6.12 - 19.28 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FORFEITED DURING 2002 (10,263) 6.12 - 18.55 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BALANCE, DECEMBER 31, 2002 301,307 $6.12 - $29.32 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- GRANTED DURING 2003 2,300 27.32 - 31.74 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- EXERCISED DURING 2003 (55,338) 6.12 - 22.57 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FORFEITED DURING 2003 (2,183) 16.71 - 31.82 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BALANCE, DECEMBER 31, 2003 246,086 $6.12 - $31.74 ================================================================================ At December 31, 2003, the number of options exercisable was 237,191 and the weighted-average price of those options was $15.40 per share. At December 31, 2002, the number of options exercisable was 186,140 and the weighted-average price of those options was $13.46 per share. The Corporation has non-qualified stock option plans for non-employee directors. The plans allow the granting of up to 362,542 shares of the Corporation's common stock.

COMMITMENTS The Corporation, in the ordinary course of business, is a party to litigation arising from the conduct of its business. Management does not consider that these actions depart from routine legal proceedings and believes that such actions will not affect its financial position or results of its operations in any material manner. There are various outstanding commitments and contingencies, such as guarantees and credit extensions, including loan commitments of $69.4 million and $95.0 million at December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively, which are not included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The Corporation issues financial standby letters of credit that are within the scope of FASB Interpretation No. 45, "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others." These are irrevocable undertakings by the Corporation to guarantee payment of a specified financial obligation. Most of the Corporation's financial standby letters of credit arise in connection with lending relationships and have terms of one year or less. The maximum potential future payments the Corporation could be required to make equals the contract amount of the standby letters of credit and amounted to $5.5 million and $4.0 million at December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The Corporation's recognized liability for financial standby letters of credit was insignificant at December 31, 2003. For commitments to originate loans, the Corporation's maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. Those commitments represent ultimate exposure to credit risk only to the extent that they are subsequently drawn upon by customers. The Corporation uses the same credit policies and underwriting standards in making loan commitments as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments. For loan commitments, the Corporation would generally be exposed to interest rate risk from the time a commitment is issued with a defined contractual interest rate. At December 31, 2003, the Corporation was obligated under non-cancelable operating leases for certain premises. Rental expense aggregated $1.5 million, $1.1 million and $869 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively, which is included in premises and equipment expense in the consolidated statements of income. The minimum annual lease payments under the terms of the lease agreements, as of December 31, 2003, were as follows: (IN THOUSANDS) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2004 $ 1,750 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2005 1,738 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2006 1,860 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2007 1,851 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2008 1,865 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- THEREAFTER 14,685 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TOTAL $ 23,749 ================================================================================ 14. REGULATORY CAPITAL The Corporation and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the Federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Corporation and the Bank's consolidated financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Corporation and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Corporation's and the Bank's assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The 45 Corporation's and the Bank's capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weighting and other factors. Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Corporation and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of total and Tier I capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier I capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined). Management believes, as of December 31, 2003, that the Corporation and the Bank meet all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject. As of December 31, 2003, the Corporation and the Bank met all requirements to be considered well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, the Corporation and the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier I risk-based and Tier I leverage ratios as set forth in the table. The Corporation's actual capital amounts and ratios are presented in the table.
