PART I

Item 1. BUSINESS

The Corporation

Peapack-Gladstone Financial Corporation (the “Corporation”) is a bank holding company registered under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (“Holding Company Act”). The Corporation was organized under the laws of New Jersey in August 1997, by the Board of Directors of Peapack-Gladstone Bank (the “Bank”), its principal subsidiary, to become a holding company for the Bank. The Bank is a state chartered commercial bank founded in 1921 under the laws of the State of New Jersey. The Bank is a member of the Federal Reserve System. The Bank offers financial services through 23 full-service banking offices. The Bank maintains ten branches in Somerset County, six in Morris County, four in Hunterdon County, one in Middlesex County and two in Union County.

The Bank is primarily dedicated to providing quality, personalized financial, trust and investment services to individuals and small businesses.

Commercial loan customers of the Bank are business people, including merchants, architects, doctors, dentists, attorneys and building contractors as well as various service firms and other local retailers. Most forms of commercial lending are offered, including working capital lines of credit, term loans for fixed asset acquisitions, commercial mortgages and other forms of asset-based financing.

In addition to commercial lending activities, the Bank offers a wide range of consumer banking services, including: checking and savings accounts, money market and interest-bearing checking accounts, certificates of deposit, and individual retirement accounts held in certificates of deposit. The Bank also offers residential and construction mortgages, home equity lines of credit and other second mortgage loans. For children, the Bank offers a special pony club savings account. New Jersey Consumer Checking Accounts are offered to low income customers. In addition, the Bank provides foreign and domestic travelers’ checks, cashier’s checks and wire transfers. Automated teller machines are available at 23 locations. Via the automatic teller machine access card issued by the Bank, customers may pay for commodities at point-of-sale merchant locations. Internet banking is available to customers including an online bill payment option. The Corporation has no foreign operations.

The Bank has a Trust and Investment Department, PGB Trust and Investments, which offers personal investment management services, personal trust administration services, estate settlement, income tax services, custodial services and other financial planning services. Since its inception in 1972, market value of trust assets under administration have increased to $1.96 billion.

The Corporation makes its Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K, and amendments to such reports, available free of charge on its website at www.pgbank.com. Also available on the website are the Corporation’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, Corporate Governance Principles and charters for the Corporation’s Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Nominating Committee.

Employees

As of December 31, 2011, the Corporation employed 295 full-time equivalent persons. Management considers relations with employees to be satisfactory.

Principal Market Areas

The Bank’s principal market for its deposit gathering activities includes Somerset, Morris, Hunterdon, Middlesex and Union Counties. The area is composed of upper-income single-family homes, moderate-income properties, some low-income housing and several large corporate campuses. There are numerous small retail businesses in each of the towns as well as offices for various professionals, i.e. attorneys, architects, interior decorators, physicians, etc. A portion of the market area is bisected by Interstate Highways 287 and 78 where numerous corporate offices have relocated over the past 25 years.

The Bank has expanded its service areas from one office in 1968 to the present 23 full-service banking locations by steadily opening new branches. Most of the communities that the Bank serves are demographically similar and contiguous to the main office.

4

Competition

The market for banking and bank-related services is highly competitive. The Bank competes with other providers of financial services such as other bank holding companies, commercial and savings banks, savings and loan associations, credit unions, money market and mutual funds, mortgage companies, and a growing list of other local, regional and national institutions which offer financial services. Mergers between financial institutions within New Jersey and in neighboring states have added competitive pressure. The Bank competes by offering quality products and convenient services at competitive prices. In order to maintain and enhance its competitive position, the Bank regularly reviews its products, locations and new branching prospects.

Governmental Policies and Legislation

The banking industry is highly regulated. Statutory and regulatory controls increase a bank holding company’s cost of doing business and limit the options of its management to deploy assets and maximize income. Proposals to change the laws and regulations governing the operations and taxation of banks, bank holding companies and other financial institutions are frequently made in Congress, in state legislatures and before various bank regulatory agencies. The likelihood of any major changes and the impact such changes might have on the Corporation or the Bank is impossible to predict. The following discussion is not intended to be a complete list of all the activities regulated by the banking laws or of the impact of such laws and regulations on the Bank. It is intended only to briefly summarize some material provisions.

The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010

The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) was signed into law on July 21, 2010. Generally, the Act is effective the day after it was signed into law, but different effective dates apply to specific sections of the law. The Act, among other things:

• Directed the Federal Reserve to issue rules limiting debit-card interchange fees for banks with more than $10 billion in assets;

• After a three-year phase-in period which begins January 1, 2013, removed trust preferred securities as a permitted component of Tier 1 capital for bank holding companies with assets of $15 billion or more, however, bank holding companies with assets of less than $15 billion will be permitted to include trust preferred securities that were issued before May 19, 2010 as Tier 1 capital;

• Provided for increases in the minimum reserve ratio for the deposit insurance fund from 1.15 percent to 1.35 percent and changes the basis for determining FDIC premiums from deposits to assets;

• Created a new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (“CFPB”) that has rulemaking authority for a wide range of consumer protection laws that would apply to all banks and would have broad powers to supervise and enforce consumer protection laws;

• Required public companies to give shareholders a non-binding vote on executive compensation at their first annual meeting following enactment and at least every three years thereafter and on “golden parachute” payments in connection with approvals of mergers and acquisitions unless previously voted on by shareholders;

• Directed federal banking regulators to promulgate rules prohibiting excessive compensation paid to executives of depository institutions and their holding companies with assets in excess of $1 billion, regardless of whether the company is publicly traded or not;

• Prohibited a depository institution from converting from a state to a federal charter or vice versa while it is the subject of a cease and desist order or other formal enforcement action or a memorandum of understanding with respect to a significant supervisory matter unless the appropriate federal banking agency gives notice of conversion to the federal or state authority that issued the enforcement action and that agency does not object within 30 days;

• Changed standards for Federal preemption of state laws related to federally chartered institutions and their subsidiaries;

5

• Provided mortgage reform provisions regarding a customer’s ability to repay, requiring the ability to repay for variable-rate loans to be determined by using the maximum rate that will apply during the first five years of the loan term, and making more loans subject to provisions for higher cost loans, new disclosures, and certain other revisions;

• Created a Financial Stability Oversight Council that will recommend to the Federal Reserve increasingly strict rules for capital, leverage, liquidity, risk management and other requirements as companies grow in size and complexity;

• Made permanent the $250 thousand limit for federal deposit insurance and provides unlimited federal deposit insurance until January 1, 2013 for non-interest bearing demand transaction accounts at all insured depository institutions;

• Repealed the federal prohibitions on the payment of interest on demand deposits, thereby permitting depository institutions to pay interest on business transactions and other accounts; and

• Authorized de novo interstate branching, subject to non-discriminatory state rules, such as home office protection.

The Dodd-Frank Act also authorized the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) to promulgate rules that would allow stockholders to nominate and solicit votes for their own candidates using a company’s proxy materials. However, on July 21, 2011, the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit struck down the SEC’s proposed proxy access rules.

The CFPB took over responsibility over the principal federal consumer protection laws, such as the Truth in Lending Act, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act and the Truth in Saving Act, among others, on July 21, 2011. Institutions that have assets of $10 billion or less, such as the Bank, will continue to be supervised in this area by their primary federal regulators (in the case of the Bank, the Federal Reserve Board (“FRB”)). The Act also gives the CFPB expanded data collecting powers for fair lending purposes for both small business and mortgage loans, as well as expanded authority to prevent unfair, deceptive and abusive practices.

Effective October 1, 2011, interchange fees on debit card transactions are limited to a maximum of 21 cents per transaction plus 5 basis points of the transaction amount. A debit card issuer may recover an additional one cent per transaction for fraud prevention purposes if the issuer complies with certain fraud-related requirements prescribed by the Federal Reserve. Issuers that, together with their affiliates, have less than $10 billion in assets, such as the Bank, are exempt from the debit card interchange fee standards.

The Dodd-Frank Act contains numerous other provisions affecting financial institutions of all types, many of which may have an impact on our operating environment in substantial and unpredictable ways. Consequently, the Dodd-Frank Act is likely to continue to increase our cost of doing business, it may limit or expand our permissible activities, and it may affect the competitive balance within our industry and market areas. The nature and extent of future legislative and regulatory changes affecting financial institutions, including as a result of the Dodd-Frank Act, remains very unpredictable at this time.

Capital Requirements

The Corporation’s wholly owned subsidiary is subject to risk-based capital guidelines for banks as adopted by the Federal Reserve Board. The minimum guideline for the ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets is 8%. At least half of the total capital is to be comprised of common stock, retained earnings, minority interests in the equity accounts of consolidated subsidiaries, noncumulative perpetual preferred stock and a limited amount of qualifying cumulative perpetual preferred stock, less goodwill and certain other intangibles (“Tier 1 Capital”). The remainder may consist of other preferred stock, certain other instruments and a portion of the loan loss allowance. At December 31, 2011, the Bank’s Tier 1 Capital and Total Capital ratios were 12.25% and 13.50%, respectively.

In addition, the Federal Reserve Board has established minimum leverage ratio guidelines for banks. These guidelines provide for a minimum ratio of Tier 1 Capital to average total assets of 4% for banks that meet certain specified criteria, including having the highest regulatory rating. All other banks generally are required to maintain a leverage ratio of at least 4% plus an additional cushion of 100 to 200 basis points. The Bank’s leverage ratio at December 31, 2011 was 7.58%.

Basel III

In December 2010, the Basel Committee released its final framework for strengthening international capital and liquidity regulation, now officially identified by the Basel Committee as “Basel III”. Basel III, when implemented by the U.S. banking agencies and fully phased-in, will require bank holding companies and their bank subsidiaries to maintain substantially more capital, with a greater emphasis on common equity.

The Basel III final capital framework, among other things, (i) introduces as a new capital measure “Common Equity Tier 1” (“CET1”), (ii) specifies that Tier 1 capital consists of CET1 and “Additional Tier 1 capital” instruments meeting specified requirements, (iii) defines CET1 narrowly by requiring that most adjustments to regulatory capital measures be made to CET1 and not to the other components of capital and (iv) expands the scope of the adjustments as compared to existing regulations.

When fully phased in on January 1, 2019, Basel III requires banks to maintain (i) as a newly adopted international standard, a minimum ratio of CET1 to risk-weighted assets of at least 4.5%, plus a 2.5% “capital conservation buffer” (which is added to the 4.5% CET1 ratio as that buffer is phased in, effectively resulting in a minimum ratio of CET1 to risk-weighted assets of at least 7%), (ii) a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of at least 6.0%, plus the capital conservation buffer (which is added to the 6.0% Tier 1 capital ratio as that buffer is phased in, effectively resulting in a minimum Tier 1 capital ratio of 8.5% upon full implementation), (iii) a minimum ratio of Total (that is, Tier 1 plus Tier 2) capital to risk-weighted assets of at least 8.0%, plus the capital conservation buffer (which is added to the 8.0% total capital ratio as that buffer is phased in, effectively resulting in a minimum total capital ratio of 10.5% upon full implementation) and (iv) as a newly adopted international standard, a minimum leverage ratio of 3%, calculated as the ratio of Tier 1 capital to balance sheet exposures plus certain off-balance sheet exposures (computed as the average for each quarter of the month-end ratios for the quarter).

Basel III also provides for a “countercyclical capital buffer,” generally to be imposed when national regulators determine that excess aggregate credit growth becomes associated with a buildup of systemic risk, that would be a CET1 add-on to the capital conservation buffer in the range of 0% to 2.5% when fully implemented (potentially resulting in total buffers of between 2.5% and 5%). The aforementioned capital conservation buffer is designed to absorb losses during periods of economic stress. Banking institutions with a ratio of CET1 to risk-weighted assets above the minimum but below the conservation buffer (or below the combined capital conservation buffer and countercyclical capital buffer, when the latter is applied) will face constraints on dividends, equity repurchases and compensation based on the amount of the shortfall.

The implementation of the Basel III final framework will commence January 1, 2013. On that date, banking institutions will be required to meet the following minimum capital ratios:

• 3.5% CET1 to risk-weighted assets.

• 4.5% Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets.

• 8.0% Total capital to risk-weighted assets.

The Basel III final framework provides for a number of new deductions from and adjustments to CET1. These include, for example, the requirement that mortgage servicing rights, deferred tax assets dependent upon future taxable income and significant investments in non-consolidated financial entities be deducted from CET1 to the extent that any one such category exceeds 10% of CET1 or all such categories in the aggregate exceed 15% of CET1.

Implementation of the deductions and other adjustments to CET1 will begin on January 1, 2014 and will be phased-in over a five-year period (20% per year). The implementation of the capital conservation buffer will begin on January 1, 2016 at 0.625% and be phased in over a four-year period (increasing by that amount on each subsequent January 1, until it reaches 2.5% on January 1, 2019).

The U.S. banking agencies have yet to propose regulations implementing Basel III. Notwithstanding its release of the Basel III framework as a final framework, the Basel Committee is considering further amendments to Basel III, including the imposition of additional capital surcharges on globally systemically important financial institutions. In addition to Basel III, Dodd-Frank requires or permits the Federal banking agencies to adopt regulations affecting banking institutions’ capital requirements in a number of respects, including potentially more stringent capital requirements for systemically important financial institutions. Accordingly, the regulations ultimately applicable to the Corporation may be substantially different from the Basel III final framework as published in December 2010. Requirements to maintain higher levels of capital or to maintain higher levels of liquid assets could adversely impact the Corporation’s net income and return on equity.

FDICIA

Pursuant to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 (“FDICIA”), each federal banking agency has promulgated regulations, specifying the levels at which a financial institution would be considered “well capitalized,” “adequately capitalized,” “undercapitalized,” “significantly undercapitalized,” and “critically undercapitalized,” and to take certain mandatory and discretionary supervisory actions based on the capital level of the institution. The regulations implementing these provisions of FDICIA provide that a bank is defined to be “well capitalized” if it maintains a leverage ratio of at least 5%, a risk-adjusted Tier 1 capital ratio of at least 6% and a risk-adjusted total capital ratio of at least 10% and is not otherwise in a “troubled condition” as specified by its appropriate federal regulatory agency. A bank is defined to be “adequately capitalized” if it meets other minimum capital requirements. In addition, a depository institution will be considered “undercapitalized” if it fails to meet any minimum required measure, “significantly undercapitalized” if it is significantly below such measure and “critically undercapitalized” if it fails to maintain a level of tangible equity equal to not less than 2% of total assets. A depository institution may be deemed to be in a capitalization category that is lower than is indicated by its actual capital position if it receives an unsatisfactory examination rating.

Insurance Funds Legislation

The Bank’s deposits are insured up to applicable limits by the Deposit Insurance Fund of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”). The Deposit Insurance Fund is the successor to the Bank Insurance Fund and the Savings Association Insurance Fund, which were merged in 2006. Under the FDIC’s risk-based system, insured institutions are assigned to one of four risk categories based on supervisory evaluations, regulatory capital levels and certain other factors with less risky institutions paying lower assessments on their deposits.

On November 12, 2009, the FDIC issued a final rule that required insured depository institutions to prepay, on December 30, 2009, their estimated quarterly risk-based assessments for the fourth quarter of 2009 and for all of 2010, 2011 and 2012, together with their quarterly risk-based assessment for the third quarter 2009. The Bank paid approximately $8.8 million in assessments as of December 31, 2009 of which approximately $8.3 million was recorded as a prepaid asset. Prepaid assessments are to be applied against the actual quarterly assessments until exhausted, and may not be applied to any special assessments that may occur in the future. Any unused prepayments will be returned to the Bank on June 30, 2013. The balance of the prepaid FDIC assessment fees at December 31, 2011 was $4.8 million.

In February 2011, as required by the Dodd Frank Act, the FDIC approved a final rule that revised the assessment base to consist of average consolidated total assets during the assessment period minus the average tangible equity during the assessment period. In addition, the final revisions eliminated the adjustment for secured borrowings, including Federal Home Loan Bank advances, and made certain other changes to the impact of unsecured borrowings and brokered deposits on an institution’s deposit insurance assessment. The final rule also revised the assessment rate schedule to provide initial base assessment rates ranging from 5 to 35 basis points and total base assessment rates ranging from 2.5 to 45 basis points after adjustment. The final rule became effective on April 1, 2011.

As previously noted above, the Dodd-Frank Act makes permanent the $250 thousand limit for federal deposit insurance and provides unlimited federal deposit insurance until January 1, 2013 for non-interest bearing demand transaction accounts at all insured depository institutions.

The FDIC has authority to further increase insurance assessments. A significant increase in insurance premiums may have an adverse effect on the operating expenses and results of operations of the Bank. Management cannot predict what insurance assessment rates will be in the future.

Troubled Asset Relief Capital Purchase Program

In response to the financial crises affecting the banking system and financial markets and going concern threats to investment banks and other financial institutions, on October 3, 2008, the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (the “EESA”) was signed into law. Pursuant to the EESA, the U.S. Treasury was given the authority to, among other things, purchase up to $700 billion of mortgages, mortgage-backed securities and certain other financial instruments from financial institutions for the purpose of stabilizing and providing liquidity to the U.S. financial markets.

On October 14, 2008, the Secretary of the U.S. Department of the Treasury announced that the Treasury will purchase equity stakes in a wide variety of banks and thrifts. Under the program, known as the Troubled Asset Relief Program Capital Purchase Program (the “TARP Capital Purchase Program”), from the $700 billion authorized by the EESA, the Treasury made $250 billion of capital available to U.S. financial institutions in the form of preferred stock. In conjunction with the purchase of preferred stock, the Treasury received, from participating financial institutions, warrants to purchase common stock with an aggregate market price equal to 15% of the preferred investment. Participating financial institutions were required to adopt the Treasury’s standards for executive compensation and corporate governance for the period during which the Treasury holds equity issued under the TARP Capital Purchase Program.

8

The Corporation entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with the Treasury that provides for our participation in the TARP Capital Purchase Program. On January 9, 2009, the Corporation issued and sold to the Treasury 28,685 shares of the Corporation Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, with a liquidation preference of $1 thousand per share, and a ten-year warrant to purchase up to 150,296 shares of the Corporation’s common stock at an exercise price of $28.63 per share.

On January 6, 2010 and March 2, 2011, the Corporation redeemed 25 percent of the preferred shares issued under the Treasury’s CPP, each time repaying approximately $7.2 million to the Treasury, including accrued and unpaid dividends. On January 11, 2012, the Corporation redeemed the remaining 50 percent of the preferred shares issued under the Treasury’s CPP, repaying approximately $14.5 million to the Treasury, including accrued and unpaid dividends. Upon redemption of the final preferred shares, the Corporation’s participation in the CPP ended, and the Corporation is no longer subject to the requirements of the CPP, including certain limits on executive compensation. The Corporation is currently negotiating with Treasury regarding the repurchase of the warrant. If the Corporation and Treasury are unable to agree on a repurchase price, the warrant will be sold at a public auction with all proceeds payable to Treasury.

Restrictions on the Payment of Dividends

The holders of the Corporation’s common stock are entitled to receive dividends, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors of the Corporation out of funds legally available. The only statutory limitation is that such dividends may not be paid when the Corporation is insolvent. Since the principal source of income for the Corporation will be dividends on Bank common stock paid to the Corporation by the Bank, the Corporation’s ability to pay dividends to its shareholders will depend on whether the Bank pays dividends to it. As a practical matter, restrictions on the ability of the Bank to pay dividends act as restrictions on the amount of funds available for the payment of dividends by the Corporation. As a New Jersey chartered commercial bank, the Bank is subject to the restrictions on the payment of dividends contained in the New Jersey Banking Act of 1948, as amended (the “Banking Act”). Under the Banking Act, the Bank may pay dividends only out of retained earnings, and out of surplus to the extent that surplus exceeds 50% of stated capital. Under the Financial Institutions Supervisory Act, the FDIC has the authority to prohibit a state-chartered bank from engaging in conduct that, in the FDIC’s opinion, constitutes an unsafe or unsound banking practice. Under certain circumstances, the FDIC could claim that the payment of a dividend or other distribution by the Bank to the Corporation constitutes an unsafe or unsound practice. The Corporation is also subject to Federal Reserve Board (“FRB”) policies, which may, in certain circumstances, limit its ability to pay dividends. The FRB policies require, among other things, that a bank holding company maintain a minimum capital base. The FRB would most likely seek to prohibit any dividend payment that would reduce a holding company’s capital below these minimum amounts.

Holding Company Supervision

The Corporation is a bank holding company within the meaning of the Holding Company Act. As a bank holding company, the Corporation is supervised by the FRB and is required to file reports with the FRB and provide such additional information as the FRB may require.

The Holding Company Act prohibits the Corporation, with certain exceptions, from acquiring direct or indirect ownership or control of more than five percent of the voting shares of any company which is not a bank and from engaging in any business other than that of banking, managing and controlling banks or furnishing services to subsidiary banks, except that it may, upon application, engage in, and may own shares of companies engaged in, certain businesses found by the FRB to be so closely related to banking “as to be a proper incident thereto.” The Holding Company Act requires prior approval by the FRB of the acquisition by the Corporation of more than five percent of the voting stock of any additional bank. Satisfactory capital ratios, Community Reinvestment Act ratings and anti-money laundering policies are generally prerequisites to obtaining federal regulatory approval to make acquisitions. The policy of the FRB provides that a bank holding company is expected to act as a source of financial strength to its subsidiary bank and to commit resources to support the subsidiary bank in circumstances in which it might not do so absent that policy. Acquisitions through the Bank require the approval of the FRB and the New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance (“NJDOBI”).

9

Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program

On November 21, 2008, the Board of Directors of the FDIC adopted a final rule relating to the Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program (“TLG Program”), Under the TLG Program (as amended on March 17, 2009) the FDIC has (i) guaranteed through the earlier of maturity or December 31, 2012, certain newly issued senior unsecured debt issued by participating institutions on or after October 14, 2008, and before October 31, 2009 (the “Debt Guarantee Program”) and (ii) provide full FDIC deposit insurance coverage for non-interest bearing transaction deposit accounts, Negotiable Order of Withdrawal (“NOW”) accounts paying less than or equal to 0.5 percent interest per annum and Interest on Lawyers Trust Accounts (“IOLTAs”) held at participating FDIC- insured institutions through June 30, 2010 (the “TAG Program”). On April 13, 2010, the FDIC announced a second extension of the TAG Program until December 31, 2010. Coverage under the TLG Program was available for the first 30 days without charge. The fee assessment for coverage of senior unsecured debt ranges from 50 basis points to 100 basis points per annum, depending on the initial maturity of the debt. The fee assessment for deposit insurance coverage ranges from 15 to 25 basis points based upon the Bank’s CAMELS rating by the FRB on amounts in covered accounts exceeding $250,000.

We have elected to participate in both the Debt Guarantee Program and the TAG Program. We have not issued debt under the Debt Guarantee Program.

The Dodd-Frank Act included a two-year extension of the TAG Program, though the extension does not apply to all accounts covered under the original program. The extension through December 31, 2012 applies only to non-interest bearing transaction accounts. Beginning January 1, 2011, NOW accounts and IOLTAs are longer eligible for the unlimited guarantee. Unlike the original TAG Program, which allowed banks to opt in, the extended program applies to all FDIC-insured institutions and is no longer funded by separate premiums. The FDIC accounts for the additional TAG insurance coverage in determining the amount of the general assessment it charges under the risk-based assessment system.

Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“Sarbanes-Oxley Act”) added new legal requirements for public companies affecting corporate governance, accounting and corporate reporting.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act provides for, among other things:

• a prohibition on personal loans made or arranged by the issuer to its directors and executive officers (except for loans made by a bank subject to Regulation O);

• independence requirements for audit committee members;

• independence requirements for company auditors;

• certification of financial statements within the Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q by the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer;

• the forfeiture by the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer of bonuses or other incentive-based compensation and profits from the sale of an issuer’s securities by such officers in the twelve month period following initial publication of any financial statements that later require restatement due to corporate misconduct;

• disclosure of off-balance sheet transactions;

• two-business day filing requirements for insiders filing on Form 4;

• disclosure of a code of ethics for financial officers and filing a Current Report on Form 8-K for a change in or waiver of such code;

• the reporting of securities violations “up the ladder” by both in-house and outside attorneys;

• restrictions on the use of non-GAAP financial measures in press releases and SEC filings;

• the formation of a public accounting oversight board;

• various increased criminal penalties for violations of securities laws;

• an assertion by management with respect to the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting; and

• a report by the company’s external auditor on management’s assertion and the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting.

10

Each of the national stock exchanges, including the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations (NASDAQ) Global Select Market where the Corporation’s securities are listed, have implemented corporate governance listing standards, including rules strengthening director independence requirements for boards, and requiring the adoption of charters for the nominating and audit committees.

USA PATRIOT Act

As part of the USA PATRIOT Act, Congress adopted the International Money Laundering Abatement and Financial Anti-Terrorism Act of 2001 (the “Anti Money Laundering Act”). The Anti Money Laundering Act authorizes the Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the heads of other government agencies, to adopt special measures applicable to financial institutions such as banks, bank holding companies, broker-dealers and insurance companies. Among its other provisions, the Anti Money Laundering Act requires each financial institution: (i) to establish an anti-money laundering program; (ii) to establish due diligence policies, procedures and controls that are reasonably designed to detect and report instances of money laundering in United States private banking accounts and correspondent accounts maintained for non-United States persons or their representatives; and (iii) to avoid establishing, maintaining, administering, or managing correspondent accounts in the United States for, or on behalf of, a foreign shell bank that does not have a physical presence in any country. In addition, the Anti Money Laundering Act expands the circumstances under which funds in a bank account may be forfeited and requires covered financial institutions to respond under certain circumstances to requests for information from federal banking agencies within 120 hours.

Regulations implementing the due diligence requirements, require minimum standards to verify customer identity and maintain accurate records, encourage cooperation among financial institutions, federal banking agencies, and law enforcement authorities regarding possible money laundering or terrorist activities, prohibit the anonymous use of “concentration accounts,” and requires all covered financial institutions to have in place an anti-money laundering compliance program. Federal and state banking agencies have strictly enforced various anti-money laundering and suspicious activity reporting requirements using formal and informal enforcement tools to cause banks to comply with these provisions.

The Anti Money Laundering Act amended the Bank Holding Company Act and the Bank Merger Act to require the federal banking agencies to consider the effectiveness of any financial institution involved in a proposed merger transaction in combating money laundering activities when reviewing an application under these acts.

Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act

The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Financial Modernization Act of 1999 (“Modernization Act”) became effective in early 2000. The Modernization Act:

• allows bank holding companies meeting management, capital and Community Reinvestment Act standards to engage in a substantially broader range of non-banking activities than was previously permissible, including insurance underwriting;

• allows insurers and other financial services companies to acquire banks;

• removes various restrictions that previously applied to bank holding company ownership of securities firms and mutual fund advisory companies; and

• establishes the overall regulatory structure applicable to bank holding companies that also engage in insurance and securities operations.

If a bank holding company elects to become a financial holding company, it files a certification, effective in 30 days, and thereafter may engage in certain financial activities without further approvals. The Corporation has not elected to become a financial holding company.

The Modernization Act modified other financial laws, including laws related to financial privacy and community reinvestment.

Item 1A. RISK FACTORS

The material risks and uncertainties that management believes affect the Corporation are described below. These risks and uncertainties are not the only ones affecting the Corporation. Additional risks and uncertainties that management is not aware of or focused on or that management currently deems immaterial may also impair the Corporation’s business operations. This report is qualified in its entirety by these risk factors. If any one or more of the following risks actually occur, the Corporation’s financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act may affect our business activities, financial position and profitability by increasing our regulatory compliance burden and associated costs, placing restrictions on certain products and services, and limiting our future capital raising strategies.

On July 21, 2010, the President signed into law the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Act”), which implements significant changes in the financial regulatory landscape and will impact all financial institutions, including the Corporation and the Bank. The Act has and is likely to continue to increase our regulatory compliance burden.

Among the Act’s significant regulatory changes, it creates the CFPB that is empowered to promulgate new consumer protection regulations and revise existing regulations in many areas of consumer protection. The CFPB has exclusive authority to issue regulations, orders and guidance to administer and implement the objectives of federal consumer protection laws. Moreover, the Act permits states to adopt stricter consumer protection laws and state attorney generals may enforce consumer protection rules issued by the CFPB. The Act also changes the scope of federal deposit insurance coverage, and increases the FDIC assessment payable by the Bank. We expect the CFPB and these other changes will increase our regulatory compliance burden and costs and may restrict the financial products and services we offer to our customers.

The Act also imposes more stringent capital requirements on bank holding companies by, among other things, imposing leverage ratios on bank holding companies and prohibiting new trust preferred issuances from counting as Tier I capital. These restrictions may limit our future capital strategies. The Act also increases regulation of derivatives and hedging transactions, which could limit our ability to enter into, or increase the costs associated with, interest rate and other hedging transactions.

Although certain provisions of the Act, such as direct supervision by the CFPB, will not apply to banking organizations with less than $10 billion of assets, such as the Corporation and the Bank, the changes resulting from the legislation will impact our business. These changes will require us to invest significant management attention and resources to evaluate and make necessary changes.

Negative developments in the financial services industry and U.S. and global credit markets may adversely impact our operations and results.

Uncertainty in the financial markets in general with the expectation of the general economic downturn continued in 2011 and may continue through 2012. Loan portfolio performances have deteriorated at many institutions resulting from, amongst other factors, a weak economy and a decline in the value of the collateral supporting their loans. The competition for our deposits has increased significantly due to liquidity concerns at many of these same institutions. Stock prices of bank holding companies, like ours, have been negatively affected by the current condition of the financial markets, as has our ability, if needed, to raise capital or borrow in the debt markets compared to recent years. As a result, there is a potential for new federal or state laws and regulations regarding lending and funding practices and liquidity standards, and financial institution regulatory agencies are expected to be very aggressive in responding to concerns and trends identified in examinations, including the expected issuance of many formal enforcement actions. Negative developments in the financial services industry and the impact of new legislation in response to those developments could negatively impact our operations by restricting our business operations, including our ability to originate or sell loans, and adversely impact our financial performance.

Much of our business is with customers located within Morris, Somerset, Middlesex, Union and Hunterdon Counties and contiguous counties. Our business loans are generally made to small to mid-sized businesses, most of whose success depends on the regional economy. These businesses generally have fewer financial resources in terms of capital or borrowing capacity than larger entities. Adverse economic and business conditions in our market area could reduce our growth rate, affect our borrowers’ ability to repay their loans and, consequently, adversely affect our financial condition and performance. Further, we place substantial reliance on real estate as collateral for our loan portfolio. A sharp downturn in real estate values in our market area could leave many of our loans under-secured, which could adversely affect our earnings.

12

Continuing declines in the fair value of securities may require classification to other-than-temporary impaired status.

Declines in the fair value of securities below their cost that are other-than-temporary are reflected as realized losses and results in a new cost basis being established. In estimating other-than-temporary losses, management considers the length of time and extent that fair value has been less than cost; the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer; and whether the Corporation has the intent to sell the securities or is likely that it will be required to sell the securities before their anticipated recovery.

Securities are evaluated on at least a quarterly basis to determine whether a decline in their value is other-than-temporary. To determine whether a loss in value is other-than-temporary, Management utilizes criteria such as the reasons underlying the decline, the magnitude and the duration of the decline and the intent and ability of the Corporation to retain its investment in the security for a period of time sufficient to allow for an anticipated recovery in the fair value. “Other-than-temporary” is not intended to indicate that the decline is permanent, but indicates that the prospects for a near-term recovery of value are not necessarily favorable, or that there is a lack of evidence to support a realizable value equal to or greater than the carrying value of the investment. Once a decline in value is determined to be other-than-temporary, the value of the security is reduced and a corresponding charge to earnings is recognized.

If our allowance for loan losses were not sufficient to cover actual loan losses, our earnings would decrease.

We maintain an allowance for loan losses based on, among other things, national and regional economic conditions, and historical loss experience and delinquency trends among loan types. However, we cannot predict loan losses with certainty and we cannot assure you that charge-offs in future periods will not exceed the allowance for loan losses. In addition, regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, review our allowance for loan losses and may require additions to the allowance based on their judgment about information available to them at the time of their examination. Factors that require an increase in our allowance for loan losses could reduce our earnings.

Changes in interest rates may adversely affect our earnings and financial condition.

Our net income depends primarily upon our net interest income. Net interest income is the difference between interest income earned on loans, investments and other interest-earning assets and the interest expense incurred on deposits and borrowed funds.

Different types of assets and liabilities may react differently, and at different times, to changes in market interest rates. We expect that we will periodically experience “gaps” in the interest rate sensitivities of our assets and liabilities. That means either our interest-bearing liabilities will be more sensitive to changes in market interest rates than our interest-earning assets, or vice versa. When interest-bearing liabilities mature or reprice more quickly than interest-earning assets, an increase in market rates of interest could reduce our net interest income. Likewise, when interest-earning assets mature or reprice more quickly than interest-bearing liabilities, falling interest rates could reduce our net interest income. We are unable to predict changes in market interest rates, which are affected by many factors beyond our control, including inflation, recession, unemployment, money supply, domestic and international events and changes in the United States and other financial markets.

We may not be able to continue to grow our business, which may adversely impact our results of operations.

Our business strategy calls for continued expansion. Our ability to continue to grow depends, in part, upon our ability to open new branch locations, successfully attract deposits to existing and new branches, and identify favorable loan and investment opportunities. In the event that we do not continue to grow, our results of operations could be adversely impacted.

We may not be able to manage our growth, which may adversely impact our financial results.

As part of our expansion strategy, we plan to open new branches in our existing and target markets. However, we may be unable to identify attractive locations on terms favorable to us or to hire qualified management to operate the new branches. In addition, the organizational and overhead costs may be greater than we anticipated or we may not be able to obtain the regulatory approvals necessary to open new branches. New branches may take longer than expected to reach profitability, and we cannot assure that they will become profitable. The additional costs of starting new branches may adversely impact our financial results.

13

Our ability to manage growth successfully will depend on whether we can continue to fund this growth while maintaining cost controls and asset quality, as well as on factors beyond our control, such as national and regional economic conditions and interest rate trends. If we are not able to control costs and maintain asset quality, such growth could adversely impact our earnings and financial condition.

The Corporation is required by Federal regulatory authorities to maintain adequate levels of capital to support its operations. The Corporation may at some point need to raise additional capital to support continued growth. The Corporation’s ability to raise additional capital, if needed, will depend on conditions in the capital markets at that time, which are outside the Corporation’s control, and on its financial performance. Accordingly, the Corporation cannot assure you of its ability to raise additional capital if needed or on terms acceptable to the Corporation. If the Corporation cannot raise additional capital when needed, the ability to further expand its operations could be materially impaired.

Our exposure to credit risk could adversely affect our earnings and financial condition.

There are certain risks inherent in making loans. These risks include interest rate changes over the time period in which loans may be repaid, risks resulting from changes in the economy, risks inherent in dealing with borrowers and, in the case of a loan backed by collateral, risks resulting from uncertainties about the future value of the collateral.

Competition from other financial institutions in originating loans and attracting deposits may adversely affect our profitability.

We face substantial competition in originating loans. This competition comes principally from other banks, savings institutions, mortgage banking companies and other lenders. Many of our competitors enjoy advantages, including greater financial resources and higher lending limits, a wider geographic presence, and more accessible branch office locations.

In attracting deposits, we face substantial competition from other insured depository institutions such as banks, savings institutions and credit unions, as well as institutions offering uninsured investment alternatives, including money market funds. Many of our competitors enjoy advantages, including greater financial resources, more aggressive marketing campaigns, better brand recognition and more branch locations. These competitors may offer higher interest rates than we do, which could decrease the deposits that we attract or require us to increase our rates to retain existing deposits or attract new deposits. Increased deposit competition could adversely affect our ability to generate the funds necessary for lending operations and increase our cost of funds.

We also compete with non-bank providers of financial services, such as brokerage firms, consumer finance companies, insurance companies and governmental organizations, which may offer more favorable terms. Some of our non-bank competitors are not subject to the same extensive regulations that govern our operations. As a result, such non-bank competitors may have advantages over us in providing certain products and services. This competition may reduce or limit our margins on banking services, reduce our market share and adversely affect our earnings and financial condition.

Government regulation significantly affects our business.

The banking industry is extensively regulated. Banking regulations are intended primarily to protect depositors, and the FDIC deposit insurance funds, not the shareholders of the Corporation. We are subject to regulation and supervision by the New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance and the Federal Reserve Bank. Regulatory requirements affect our lending practices, capital structure, investment practices, dividend policy and growth. The bank regulatory agencies possess broad authority to prevent or remedy unsafe or unsound practices or violations of law. We are subject to various regulatory capital requirements, which involve both quantitative measures of our assets and liabilities and qualitative judgments by regulators regarding risks and other factors. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements or comply with other regulations could result in actions by regulators that could adversely affect our ability to pay dividends or otherwise adversely impact operations. In addition, changes in laws, regulations and regulatory practices affecting the banking industry may limit the manner in which we conduct our business. Such changes may adversely affect us, including our ability to offer new products and services, obtain financing, attract deposits, make loans and achieve satisfactory spreads and may impose additional costs on us.

14

The Bank is also subject to a number of Federal laws, which, among other things, require it to lend to various sectors of the economy and population, and establish and maintain comprehensive programs relating to anti-money laundering and customer identification. The Bank’s compliance with these laws will be considered by the Federal banking regulators when reviewing bank merger and bank holding company acquisitions or commencing new activities or making new investments in reliance on the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act. As a public company, we are also subject to the corporate governance standards set forth in the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, as well as any rules or regulations promulgated by the SEC or the NASDAQ Stock Market.

Higher FDIC deposit insurance premiums and assessments could adversely affect our financial condition.

FDIC insurance premiums increased substantially in 2009 and we may have to pay significantly higher FDIC premiums in the future. Market developments have significantly depleted the insurance fund of the FDIC and reduced the ratio of reserves to insured deposits. The FDIC adopted a revised risk-based deposit insurance assessment schedule on February 27, 2009, which raised regular deposit insurance premiums. On May 22, 2009, the FDIC also implemented a five basis point special assessment of each insured depository institution’s total assets minus Tier 1 capital as of June 30, 2009, but no more than 10 basis points times the institution’s assessment base for the second quarter of 2009, collected by the FDIC on September 30, 2009. The amount of this special assessment for the Bank was $672 thousand. Additional special assessments may be imposed by the FDIC for future quarters at the same or higher levels.

In addition, the FDIC adopted a rule that requires insured depository institutions, including the Bank, to prepay their estimated quarterly risk-based assessments for the fourth quarter of 2009 and for all of 2010, 2011 and 2012. The prepaid assessments were collected on December 30, 2009. The total prepaid assessments for the Bank was $8.8 million, which was recorded as a prepaid expense (asset). As of December 31, 2009 and each quarter thereafter, the Bank would record an expense for its regular quarterly assessment for the quarter and an offsetting credit to the prepaid assessment until the asset is exhausted.

The Dodd-Frank Act revised the assessment rate schedule to provide initial base assessment rates ranging from five to 35 basis points and total base assessment rates ranging from 2.5 to 45 basis points. These changes, along with the use of all of our remaining FDIC insurance assessment credits in early 2009, may cause the premiums charged by the FDIC to increase. These actions could significantly increase our noninterest expense in 2012 and in future periods.

We are subject to liquidity risk.

Liquidity risk is the potential that we will be unable to meet our obligations as they become due, capitalize on growth opportunities as they arise, or pay regular dividends because of an inability to liquidate assets or obtain adequate funding in a timely basis, at a reasonable cost and within acceptable risk tolerances.

Liquidity is required to fund various obligations, including credit commitments to borrowers, mortgage and other loan originations, withdrawals by depositors, repayment of borrowings, dividends to shareholders, operating expenses and capital expenditures.

Liquidity is derived primarily from retail deposit growth and retention; principal and interest payments on loans; principal and interest payments; sale, maturity and prepayment of investment securities; net cash provided from operations and access to other funding sources.

Our access to funding sources in amounts adequate to finance our activities could be impaired by factors that affect us specifically or the financial services industry in general. Factors that could detrimentally impact our access to liquidity sources include a decrease in the level of our business activity due to a market downturn or adverse regulatory action against us. Our ability to borrow could also be impaired by factors that are not specific to us, such as a severe disruption of the financial markets or negative views and expectations about the prospects for the financial services industry as a whole as banking organizations face turmoil and domestic and worldwide credit markets deteriorate.

Our information systems may experience a security breach, computer virus, or disruption of service.

We rely heavily on communications and information systems to conduct our business, and provide customers with various products and services, including the ability to bank online. Despite positioning our communications and information systems environment to be capable of controlling, monitoring and proactively preventing security breaches, our network could become vulnerable to unauthorized access, computer viruses, phishing schemes and other security problems. We may be required to spend significant capital and other resources to protect against the threat of security breaches and computer viruses, or to alleviate problems caused by security breaches or viruses. To the extent that our activities or the activities of our customers involve the storage and transmission of confidential information, security breaches and viruses could expose us to claims, litigation and other possible liabilities. Any failure, interruption, or breach in security or operational integrity of our systems could also result in failures or disruptions in our general ledger, deposit, loan, and other systems, and could subject us to additional regulatory scrutiny. Any inability to prevent security breaches or computer viruses could also cause existing customers to lose confidence in our systems and could adversely affect our reputation.

15

The price of our common stock may fluctuate.

The price of our common stock on the NASDAQ Global Select Market constantly changes and recently, given the uncertainty in the financial markets, has fluctuated widely. We expect that the market price of our common stock will continue to fluctuate. Holders of our common stock will be subject to the risk of volatility and changes in prices.

Our common stock price can fluctuate as a result of a variety of factors, many of which are beyond our control. These factors include:

• quarterly fluctuations in our operating and financial results;

• operating results that vary from the expectations of management, securities analysts and investors;

• changes in expectations as to our future financial performance, including financial estimates by securities analysts and investors;

• events negatively impacting the financial services industry which result in a general decline in the market valuation of our common stock;

• announcements of material developments affecting our operations or our dividend policy;

• future sales of our equity securities;

• new laws or regulations or new interpretations of existing laws or regulations applicable to our business;

• changes in accounting standards, policies, guidance, interpretations or principles; and

• general domestic economic and market conditions.

In addition, recently the stock market generally has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations, and industry factors and general economic and political conditions and events, such as economic slowdowns or recessions, interest rate changes or credit loss trends, could also cause our stock price to decrease regardless of our operating results.

Our ability to pay dividends to our common shareholders is limited.

Since the principal source of income for the Corporation is dividends paid to the Corporation by the Bank, the Corporation’s ability to pay dividends to its shareholders will depend on whether the Bank pays dividends to it. As a practical matter, restrictions on the ability of the Bank to pay dividends act as restrictions on the amount of funds available for the payment of dividends by the Corporation. As a New Jersey-chartered commercial bank, the Bank is subject to the restrictions on the payment of dividends contained in the New Jersey Banking Act of 1948, as amended. Under the Banking Act, the Bank may pay dividends only out of retained earnings, and out of surplus to the extent that surplus exceeds 50% of stated capital. The Corporation is also subject to FRB policies, which may, in certain circumstances, limit its ability to pay dividends. The FRB policies require, among other things, that a bank holding company maintain a minimum capital base. The FRB would most likely seek to prohibit any dividend payment that would reduce a holding company’s capital below these minimum amounts.

We may lose lower-cost funding sources.

Checking, savings, and money market deposit account balances and other forms of customer deposits can decrease when customers perceive alternative investments, such as the stock market, as providing a better risk/return tradeoff. If customers move money out of bank deposits and into other investments, we could lose a relatively low cost source of funds, increasing our funding costs and reducing our net interest income and net income.

16

There may be changes in accounting policies or accounting standards.

Our accounting policies are fundamental to understanding our financial results and condition. Some of these policies require use of estimates and assumptions that may affect the value of our assets or liabilities and financial results. We identified our accounting policies regarding the allowance for loan losses, goodwill and other intangible assets, and income taxes to be critical because they require management to make difficult, subjective and complex judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain. Under each of these policies, it is possible that materially different amounts would be reported under different conditions, using different assumptions, or as new information becomes available.

From time to time the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) and the SEC change the financial accounting and reporting standards that govern the form and content of our external financial statements. In addition, accounting standard setters and those who interpret the accounting standards (such as the FASB, SEC, banking regulators and our independent auditors) may change or even reverse their previous interpretations or positions on how these standards should be applied. Changes in financial accounting and reporting standards and changes in current interpretations may be beyond our control, can be hard to predict and could materially impact how we report our financial results and condition. In certain cases, we could be required to apply a new or revised standard retroactively or apply an existing standard differently (also retroactively) which may result in our restating prior period financial statements in material amounts.

We encounter continuous technological change.

The financial services industry is continually undergoing rapid technological change with frequent introductions of new technology-driven products and services. The effective use of technology increases efficiency and enables financial institutions to better serve customers and to reduce costs. Our future success depends, in part, upon our ability to address the needs of our customers by using technology to provide products and services that will satisfy customer demands, as well as to create additional efficiencies in our operations. Many of our competitors have substantially greater resources to invest in technological improvements. We may not be able to effectively implement new technology-driven products and services or be successful in marketing these products and services to our customers. Failure to successfully keep pace with technological change affecting the financial services industry could have a material adverse impact on our business and, in turn, our financial condition and results of operations.

We are subject to operational risk.

We face the risk that the design of our controls and procedures, including those to mitigate the risk of fraud by employees or outsiders, may prove to be inadequate or are circumvented, thereby causing delays in detection of errors or inaccuracies in data and information. Management regularly reviews and updates our internal controls, disclosure controls and procedures, and corporate governance policies and procedures. Any system of controls, however well designed and operated, is based in part on certain assumptions and can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurances that the objectives of the system are met. Any failure or circumvention of our controls and procedures or failure to comply with regulations related to controls and procedures could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We may also be subject to disruptions of our systems arising from events that are wholly or partially beyond our control (including, for example, computer viruses or electrical or telecommunications outages), which may give rise to losses in service to customers and to financial loss or liability. We are further exposed to the risk that our external vendors may be unable to fulfill their contractual obligations (or will be subject to the same risk of fraud or operational errors by their respective employees as we are) and to the risk that our (or our vendors’) business continuity and data security systems prove to be inadequate.

Our performance is largely dependent on the talents and efforts of highly skilled individuals. There is intense competition in the financial services industry for qualified employees. In addition, we face increasing competition with businesses outside the financial services industry for the most highly skilled individuals. Our business operations could be adversely affected if we were unable to attract new employees and retain and motivate our existing employees.

17

There may be claims and litigation pertaining to fiduciary responsibility.

From time to time as part of the Corporation’s normal course of business, customers make claims and take legal action against the Corporation based on its actions or inactions. If such claims and legal actions are not resolved in a manner favorable to the Corporation, they may result in financial liability and/or adversely affect the market perception of the Corporation and its products and services. This may also impact customer demand for the Corporation’s products and services. Any financial liability or reputation damage could have a material adverse effect on the Corporation’s business, which, in turn, could have a material adverse effect on its financial condition and results of operations.

Item 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Management’s Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Corporation maintains “disclosure controls and procedures” which, consistent with Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is defined to mean controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Corporation files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Corporation’s management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

The Corporation’s management, with the participation of its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based on such evaluation, the Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have also concluded that there have not been any changes in the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting during the fourth quarter of 2011.

The Corporation’s management, including the CEO and CFO, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, provides reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. The design of a control system reflects resource constraints; the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because there are inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Corporation have been or will be detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events. There can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all future conditions; over time, control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

PEAPACK-GLADSTONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION

RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT (“AGREEMENT”)

PEAPACK-GLADSTONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION, a New Jersey corporation (“Company”), this __ day of ________, 20__ (“Award Date”) hereby grants to _____________ (“Employee”), an employee of the Company or a subsidiary thereof, pursuant to the Company’s 2006 Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan (“Plan”), shares of the Common Stock, no par value, of the Company subject to the restrictions set forth herein (“Restricted Stock”) in the amount and on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.

1.	Incorporation by Reference of Plan. The provisions of the Plan, a copy of which is being furnished herewith to the Employee, are incorporated by reference herein and shall govern as to all matters not expressly provided for in this Agreement. Capitalized terms not defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Plan. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the Plan, the terms of the Plan shall govern.
2.	Award of Restricted Stock; Escrow. The Company hereby awards the Employee _______ shares of Restricted Stock (“Shares”). The Shares shall be placed in escrow with the Escrow Agent selected by the Committee until all the restrictions (“Restrictions”) specifically set forth in this Agreement and in Section 8 of the Plan with respect to the Shares shall expire or be cancelled and all required tax withholding obligations are satisfied, at which time the Shares shall be released from escrow and the Company shall issue to the Employee a stock certificate with respect to such Shares, free of all Restrictions. Restricted Stock shall have all dividend and voting rights as set forth in Section 8 of the Plan. However, dividends paid on the Restricted Stock shall be deferred and held by the Escrow Agent until the Restrictions with respect to the Shares upon which such dividends were paid, expire or are cancelled, at which time the Company shall deliver to the Employee such dividends, with interest, if any. If the Employee forfeits any Shares awarded hereunder, such Shares and any dividends with respect thereto, with interest, if any, shall automatically revert to the Company (without any payment by the Company to the Employee) and shall no longer be held in escrow for the Employee.
3.	Restrictions (a) Vesting. The Shares and related dividends shall not be delivered to the Employee and may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered by the Employee until such Shares have vested in the Employee in accordance with the following schedule:
	(b) Forfeiture. Shares not yet vested (and any related dividends and interest) shall be forfeited and automatically transferred to the Company upon the Employee’s ceasing to be employed by the Company and its subsidiaries for any reason other than death, Disability, Retirement or a Change in Control. Upon termination of employment by reason of death, Disability or Retirement, or upon a Change in Control, all restrictions upon the Shares shall thereupon immediately lapse. The Plan defines Retirement as follows:
	“Retirement” means the retirement from active employment of an employee or officer, but only if such person meets all of the following requirements: (i) he has a minimum combined total of years of service to the Company or any Subsidiary (excluding service to any acquired company) and age equal to eighty (80), (ii) he is age sixty-two (62) or older, and (iii) he provides six (6) months prior written notice to the Company of the retirement.
If the Employee retires but fails to meet such conditions, he or she shall not be deemed to be within the definition of Retirement for any purpose under the Plan and this Agreement.
4.	Registration. If Shares are issued in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, then, if deemed necessary by Company’s counsel, as a condition to the Company issuing certificates representing the Shares, the Employee shall represent in writing to the Company that he or she is acquiring the Shares for investment purposes only and not with a view to distribution or resale, and the certificates representing the Shares shall bear the following legend:

27

	“These shares have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. No transfer of the shares may be effected without an opinion of counsel to the Company stating that the transfer is exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 and any applicable state securities laws or that the transfer of the shares is covered by an effective registration statement with respect to the shares.”
5.	Acceptance of Provisions. The execution of this Agreement by the Employee shall constitute the Employee’s acceptance of and agreement to all of the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement.
6.	Notices. All notices and other communications required or permitted under the Plan and this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be given either by (i) personal delivery or regular mail, in each case against receipt, or (ii) first class registered or certified mail, return receipt requested. Any such communication shall be deemed to have been given (a) on the date of receipt in the cases referred to in clause (i) of the preceding sentence and (b) on the second day after the date of mailing in the cases referred to in clause (ii) of the preceding sentence. All such communications to the Company shall be addressed to it, to the attention of its Secretary, at its then principal office and to the Employee at his or her last address appearing on the records of the Company or, in each case, to such other person or address as may be designated by like notice hereunder.
7.	Taxes. The Employee generally will be subject to tax at ordinary income rates on the fair market value of the Shares and accrued dividends at the time they vest. However, if the Employee elects, under Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Code”), within thirty (30) days of the Award Date, he or she will be subject to tax at ordinary income rates on the fair market value of the Shares on the Award Date (determined without regard to the Restrictions). The foregoing statement of tax consequences is intended only as a generalized statement of current Federal tax law (as in existence on the date of this Agreement) and the Employee should consult his or her tax consultant to determine the specific tax consequences of this award from time to time. The Employee shall deliver to the Company any Federal, state and local tax withholding required by law in connection herewith within ten (10) days after recognition of any income from this award. The Employee shall notify the Company within ten (10) days of making an election under Section 83(b), or any successor section, of the Code.
8.	Miscellaneous. This Agreement and the Plan contain a complete statement of all the arrangements between the parties with respect to their subject matter, and this Agreement cannot be changed except by a writing executed by both parties. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New Jersey applicable to agreements made and to be performed exclusively in New Jersey. The headings in this Agreement are solely for convenience of reference and shall not affect its meaning or interpretation.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement as of the date first above written.

DEAR SHAREHOLDERS AND FRIENDS,

Your Company made significant progress on several fronts during 2011. Earnings per share, excluding the one-time State tax benefit recognized in 2011 and discussed in full later in this report, improved 34 percent for the full year and 44 percent in the last quarter of 2011 when compared to the same quarter in 2010.

The total loan portfolio was up $106 million, or over 11 percent to $1.04 billion. Contrary to reports that banks are not lending – we are. And, we have been successful in finding new, solid credit opportunities. We are proud to report that during 2011 we closed on a record $321 million of new loans. The pipelines going into the new year are strong.

Total deposits grew $92 million during 2011, up about 7 percent compared to year end 2010. Our culture of nurturing our customer relationships is particularly important in these unsettled times. We are always grateful for the trust placed in us by our customers.

We are very mindful that the interest being paid on deposits in this very low rate environment is difficult for those who rely on earnings from their savings. Various policies in Washington are ensuring that interest rates remain at all time lows in order to stimulate the economy as much as possible. The result is that borrowers enjoy very low rates, while savers do not.

CAPITAL

As you may have seen in our January 9, 2012 press release, we sought and received approval from the U.S. Treasury to redeem all of the remaining preferred shares originally issued under the Treasury’s Capital Purchase Program. The final payment, including all accrued and unpaid dividends, was made on January 11, 2012.

2

It had been an important corporate priority to repay the CPP investment completely from internally generated capital, without diluting existing shareholders. This was our plan; we have been successful; and we thank our shareholders for their patience.

There is an important fact about the national CPP program that we would like you to know. There has been so much negative rhetoric aimed at banks by many in Washington that it has been overlooked that the banks have already repaid more principal and dividends than were issued to banks under the program in 2008 and 2009. U. S. taxpayers have received back from the banks about $13 billion more than was lent out. The program for banks will be profitable to the deserving taxpayers even if not another dollar is repaid, which will not happen.

The Corporation’s Capital ratios as of December 31, 2011 and following the repayment of CPP were all above the levels necessary to be considered well capitalized under regulatory guidelines.

During the course of 2011, we paid out 20 cents per share in dividends to shareholders. This represented a 1.86 percent dividend yield (based on year end pricing) and a 22 percent dividend payout ratio (excluding the effect of the State tax benefit). The Board reviews the dividend payment each quarter, considering current and projected earnings, capital (now adjusted for no CPP) and the general economy.

The slow economic recovery along with worldwide events resulting in volatile equity markets and an extended period of low interest rates presented opportunity to gain new client relationships for PGB Trust & Investments. In addition, the uncertain tax environment preceding an election year allowed for many tax and estate planning opportunities as well. Our growing staff of qualified professionals took pride and pleasure in assisting individuals, families and organizations with meeting their financial objectives. We extend an invitation and encourage all to take that first step and contact Craig C. Spengeman, John M. Bonk or Stephen M. Kozuch to explore how we can help you, as your trusted advisor, meet your financial objectives, generation to generation.

During 2011, fee income grew to $10.7 million reflecting nearly 8 percent growth. Market value of assets under administration at year end stood at $1.96 billion. The growth in fee income is a reflection of our continued focus on higher margin trust and investment services.

ASSET QUALITY

The non-performing loan ratio continued to improve in 2011. We have been successful in resolving several important problem assets during the course of the year. We believe others are now in a position to be resolved in the near term. Shareholders can be assured that management will always try to maximize value when assets are moved off the books and that troubled assets have already been written down to what we believe are appropriate levels.

There is much more on this and all other aspects of the Bank throughout this report.

OUTLOOK

The Federal Reserve has now said that interest rates are going to be extremely low well into 2014. They probably have no choice but to implement this in light of the fact that in 2011 the U.S. Treasury took in taxes and other revenues of about $2.3 trillion and spent about $3.6 trillion. Simple math tells us that the difference of about $1.3 trillion had to be borrowed. Without leadership in Washington and action by the two houses of Congress, there is no reason to think that deficits like this won’t continue. We all know the answers to how our Country can get back in balance. They include entitlement and tax policy reform, and less government intrusion into virtually every corner of business. It’s not going to be easy and certainly not without pain for everyone. However, if the folks in Washington would agree to a plan that would address these issues, we believe the Country would breathe a sigh of relief and then move toward a true recovery with the confidence that there is a sustainable plan in place.

While we wait, your Bank and each of us individually will find ways to economize, be more efficient and learn to live in a very low and protracted interest rate environment. A good place to start is a thorough review of any borrowings you might have. Low rates are available on virtually any type of loan.

CONCLUSIONS

We want to thank our Employees, Officers and Directors for another year of hard work, good ideas and steady guidance.

As we begin our 91^st year in business, we are proud of our history. We have often said that a community bank is a reflection of the communities that it serves. Difficult times are felt by all, but so too is the optimistic feeling that things are improving and building strength. We are feeling more optimistic, and hope you are too.

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.

Peapack-Gladstone Financial Corporation (the “Corporation”), formed in 1997, is the parent holding company for Peapack-Gladstone Bank (the “Bank”), formed in 1921, a commercial bank operating 23 branches in Somerset, Hunterdon, Morris, Middlesex and Union counties.

The Corporation recorded increased earnings for 2011 and, although, financial institutions and their borrowers continue to recover from the effects of the recession, Management believes that some signs of improvement are evident. The Corporation recorded a lower provision for loan losses in 2011, as the Bank has not seen the same level of deterioration in the loan portfolio in the past year as in the years since the recession began. The Corporation also maintains its conservative underwriting standards at the time of origination and continues its diligence in managing the loan portfolio.

Total loans grew over 11 percent from 2010 to 2011; however, the Corporation’s net interest income declined slightly in 2011 due to the continued low interest rate environment.

As further discussed in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis section, some of the highlights in 2011 include:

• Trust fee income increased approximately 8 percent.

• Provision for loan losses declined 28 percent.

• A one-time state tax benefit was recorded in September 2011.

• Total loans grew over 11 percent; deposits grew nearly 7 percent.

• In March 2011, the Corporation repurchased approximately $7.2 million of the preferred stock sold to the U.S. Treasury in the Capital Purchase Program, representing 25 percent of the original amount sold. In January 2012, the Corporation repurchased the remaining CPP investment of $14.4 million.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES: Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is based upon the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. 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, 2011, contains a summary of the Corporation’s significant accounting policies.

Management believes that 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, assumption 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 collectability may not be assured, the existence and estimated fair value of any underlying collateral and guarantees securing the loans, and current economic and market conditions. Although 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 collectability 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 continue to decline or should New Jersey experience continuing adverse economic conditions. Future adjustments to the provision for loan losses and allowance for loan losses may be necessary due to economic, operating, regulatory and other conditions beyond the Corporation’s control.

The Corporation accounts for its securities in accordance with “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities,” which was codified into Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 320. Debt securities are classified as held to maturity and carried at amortized cost when Management has the positive intent and ability to hold them to maturity. Debt securities are classified as available for sale when they might be sold before maturity due to changes in interest rates, prepayment risk, liquidity or other factors. Equity securities with readily determinable fair values are classified as available for sale. Securities available for sale are carried at fair value, with unrealized holding gains and losses reported in other comprehensive income, net of tax.

7

Securities are evaluated on at least a quarterly basis to determine whether a decline in value is other-than-temporary. To determine whether a decline in value is other-than-temporary, Management considers the reasons underlying the decline, the near-term prospects of the issuer, the extent and duration of the decline and whether it intends to sell, or it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell, a security in an unrealized loss position before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met, the entire difference between amortized cost and fair value is recognized as impairment through earnings. “Other-than-temporary” is not intended to indicate that the decline is permanent, but indicates that the prospects for a near-term recovery of value is not necessarily favorable, or that there is a lack of evidence to support a realizable value equal to or greater than the carrying value of the investment. Once a decline in value is determined to be other-than-temporary, the amount of the impairment is split into two components – other-than-temporary impairment related to credit loss, which must be recognized in the income statement and other-than-temporary impairment related to other factors, which is recognized in other comprehensive income. The credit loss is defined as the difference between the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected and the amortized cost basis. For equity securities, the entire amount of the impairment is recognized through earnings. No impairment charges were recognized in 2011; however, in 2010, the Corporation recognized impairment charges of $360 thousand on several equity securities in its portfolio as well as $581 thousand on several trust preferred pooled securities.

EARNINGS SUMMARY: The Corporation recorded net income of $12.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2011, and diluted earnings per share, including the effect of the preferred dividend, of $1.25 as compared to net income of $7.7 million and diluted earnings per share, including the effect of the preferred dividend, of $0.68 for the year ended December 31, 2010.

These results produced a return on average assets of 0.79 percent and 0.52 percent in 2011 and 2010, respectively, and a return on average common shareholders’ equity of 10.74 percent in 2011 and 6.26 percent in 2010.

The year ended December 31, 2011 included a lower provision for loan losses, higher trust fee income, gains from the ongoing strategic sales of securities and a one-time state tax benefit, described more fully below. These positive effects were partially offset by decreased net interest income and a provision for losses on other real estate owned (“OREO”).

NET INTEREST INCOME: The primary source of the Corporation’s operating income is net interest income, which 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 by regulatory, economic and competitive factors that influence interest rates, loan demand and deposit flows and general levels of non-performing assets.

8

Net interest income, on a fully tax-equivalent basis, declined 2 percent to $49.6 million in 2011 from $50.6 million in 2010. The Corporation’s net interest margin for 2011 was 3.47 percent, decreasing 17 basis points from 3.64 percent in 2010.

On a fully tax-equivalent basis, interest income on earning assets, declined $4.9 million to $56.7 million for 2011 as compared to 2010. Interest income declined from 2010 primarily due to the lower rates earned on earning assets. An increase in the volume of earning assets mitigated some of this decline. Average earning assets for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 totaled $1.43 billion and $1.39 billion, respectively, an increase of $43.2 million or 3 percent from the average balance in 2010. The average rate earned on earning assets was 3.96 percent in 2011, as compared to 4.44 percent in 2010, a decline of 48 basis points. The decline in the average rate on earning assets was due to the sustained low market rates in 2011 coupled with growth in lower-yielding, but less risky and shorter duration investment securities and interest-earning deposits. Average investment securities totaled $409.2 million, an increase of $44.7 million compared to 2010. The average yield was 2.39 percent for 2011. Average loan balances increased during 2011 to $965.7 million from $958.5 million in 2010, an increase of $7.2 million. The average yield on total loans decreased 43 basis points to 4.84 percent from 5.27 percent in 2010. The average yield on the residential mortgage portfolio declined in 2011 to 4.34 percent from 4.87 percent in 2010. During 2011, the average yield on the commercial mortgage loan portfolio declined 58 basis points to 5.54 percent and the average yield on commercial loans also declined to 5.35 percent. The average yield on home equity lines remained relatively constant from 2010 at 3.23 percent for 2011 and 3.21 percent for 2010. Average rates declined during the year due to lower market rates and competitive pressure experienced during 2011.

Average interest-bearing liabilities totaled $1.16 billion and $1.15 billion for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, reflecting an increase of $16.2 million or 1 percent from the average balance in 2010, while the average rate paid declined to 0.61 percent for 2011 from 0.96 percent for 2010. The decline in the average rate on interest-bearing liabilities was due to the sustained low in market rates in 2011 coupled with targeted growth of lower-costing core deposits and continued run-off of higher-paying certificates of deposit.

9

The Corporation experienced continued growth in interest-bearing checking accounts during 2011, which grew an average of $59.5 million, or 23 percent, from 2010, Noninterest-bearing checking accounts grew $29.1 million to $243.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 from 2010’s levels. Checking account growth is due to the Corporation’s relationship orientation. The Corporation has successfully focused on business and personal core deposit generation, particularly checking; establishing municipal relationships within its market territory; and growth in deposits associated with its commercial mortgage and commercial loan growth. The Corporation’s Ultimate Checking product remains popular with customers, increasing $24.5 million in 2011 from 2010 due to continuing sales initiatives and a slightly higher rate than other checking products. Average money market accounts rose $9.4 million, or 2 percent, from 2010. The Corporation’s money market growth slowed during 2011 as rates declined on these products. Average certificates of deposit declined $58.2 million, or 22 percent, as the Corporation opted not to pay higher rates on maturing certificates of deposit and average rates declined 26 basis points from the 2010 year to the 2011 year.

The average balance of borrowings declined $6.9 million during 2011 to $22.6 million as the result of regular principal repayments and maturities on Federal Home Loan Bank advances, as well as the early prepayment of a $3.0 million advance. The average rate paid on borrowings was 3.28 percent during 2011 as compared to 3.54 percent during 2010, a decrease of 26 basis points.

The average balance on capital lease obligations rose $2.8 million from 2010, as the Corporation’s capital lease obligation related to its corporate headquarters was outstanding for all of 2011 as compared to approximately half of 2010. The average rate on the capital lease obligations declined 65 basis points from 2010 to 4.99 percent during 2011.

INVESTMENT SECURITIES AVAILABLE FOR SALE: Investment securities available for sale are used as a part of the Corporation’s liquidity and interest rate risk management strategies, and they may be sold in response to changes in interest rates, liquidity needs, prepayment speeds and/or other factors. These securities are carried at estimated fair value, and unrealized changes in fair value are recognized as a separate component of shareholders’ equity, net of income taxes. Realized gains and losses are recognized in income at the time the securities are sold.

At December 31, 2011, the Corporation had investment securities available for sale with a fair value of $319.5 million, compared with $275.1 million at December 31, 2010. Net unrealized gains (net of income tax) of $3.2 million and $1.5 million were included in shareholders’ equity at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Federal funds sold and interest-earning deposits are an additional part of the Corporation’s liquidity and interest rate risk management strategies. The combined average balance of these investments during 2011 was $54.8 million as compared to $64.4 million in 2010.

LOANS: The loan portfolio represents the largest portion of the Corporation’s earning assets and is an important source of interest and fee income. Loans are primarily originated in the State of New Jersey.

Total loans were $1.04 billion at December 31, 2011, as compared to $932.5 million at December 31, 2010, an increase of $105.8 million or 11 percent. The growth in the portfolios was primarily a result of new business initiatives during 2011. Residential mortgage loans totaled $498.5 million at December 31, 2011, an increase of $78.8 million, or 19 percent, from 2010 and was attributable to originations retained in the portfolio that have outpaced loan paydowns. During this period of lower interest rates, refinance activity has generally been robust and many of these loans have been retained in portfolio; however, the Corporation does sell certain of its longer-term, fixed-rate loan production as a source of noninterest income and as part of its interest rate risk management strategy in the lower rate environment. Commercial mortgages increased $42.4 million or 15 percent to $330.6 million in 2011 due primarily to high quality borrowers looking to refinance multi-family and other commercial mortgages held by other institutions. At December 31, 2011 and 2010, construction loans totaled $13.7 million and $25.4 million, respectively, declining $11.7 million or 46 percent as the Bank continued to decrease its exposure in construction lending. Also in 2011, commercial loans declined $7.6 million or 6 percent to $123.8 million. Home equity lines of credit increased $4.5 million, or 10 percent, and consumer loans declined $1.1 million, or 6 percent, due to the Corporation’s focus on the origination of shorter-duration floating-rate home equity loans and decreased customer demand for fixed-rate home equity loans, respectively.

DEPOSITS: At December 31, 2011, the Corporation reported total deposits of $1.44 billion, an increase of $92.3 million, or 6.8 percent, from the balance reported at December 31, 2010. The Corporation’s strategy is to fund earning asset growth with core deposits, which is an important factor in the generation of net interest income. Total average deposits for 2011 increased $49.5 million, or 3.7 percent, over 2010 average levels.

The following table sets forth information concerning the composition of the Corporation’s average deposit base and average interest rates paid for the following years:

FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK ADVANCES AND OTHER BORROWINGS: At December 31, 2011 and 2010, Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) advances totaled $17.7 million and $24.1 million, respectively, with a weighted average interest rate of 3.41 percent and 3.54 percent, respectively. During 2011, the Corporation completed an early prepayment of a $3.0 million FHLB advance, incurring a $192 thousand prepayment penalty. The Corporation considers FHLB advances an added source of funding, and accordingly, executes transactions from time to time as an additional part of Corporation’s liquidity and interest rate risk management strategies. The FHLB advances outstanding at December 31, 2011 have varying terms and interest rates, as well as prepayment penalties. There were no overnight borrowings at December 31, 2011 and 2010.

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES AND RELATED PROVISION: The allowance for loan losses was $13.2 million at December 31, 2011 as compared to $14.3 million at December 31, 2010. At December 31, 2011, the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans outstanding was 1.27 percent compared to 1.53 percent at December 31, 2010. The provision for loan losses was $7.3 million for 2011, $10.0 million for 2010 and $9.7 million for 2009. The decline in the allowance as a percentage of loans is primarily due to lower specific reserves on impaired loans. 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 collectability may not be assured, and the existence and fair 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 collectability of a substantial portion of the carrying value of the Corporation’s loan portfolio is susceptible to changes in market conditions in the state and may be adversely affected should real estate values decline further or New Jersey experience continuing adverse economic conditions. Future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary due to economic, operating, regulatory and other conditions beyond the Corporation’s control.

The portion of the allowance for loan losses allocated to loans collectively evaluated for impairment, commonly referred to as general reserves, increased during the year from $11.8 million at year end 2010 to $11.9 million at year end 2011. General reserves at December 31, 2011 exceed the amount charged off during 2011 and represent 1.18 percent of loans collectively evaluated for impairment as of the end of the year. At December 31, 2010, general reserves were 1.30 percent of loans collectively evaluated for impairment.

The decline in the general reserve was primarily a result of a slight shift in the loan portfolio mix. The residential and multi-family portfolios experienced growth of approximately $144 million when comparing December 31, 2011 to December 31, 2010. These portfolios generally carry a lower allocation of the general allowance for loan losses. In addition, the Corporation experienced a decline in the commercial real estate and construction loan portfolios during 2011, which combined declined by approximately $45 million. The commercial real estate and the construction portfolios generally carry a higher allocation of general allowance for loan losses.

The allowance for loan losses decreased as a percentage of nonperforming loans as the level of nonperforming loans increased slightly during the year. Nonperforming loans are specifically evaluated for impairment. Also, Management commonly records partial charge-offs of the excess of the principal balance over the net realizable value of collateral for collateral dependent impaired loans; as a result, the allowance for loan losses does not always change proportionately with changes in nonperforming loans. Management charged off $8.3 million on loans identified as collateral-dependent impaired loans during 2011.

Due to the continued weakness in the housing markets and economic environment during 2011, some borrowers have found it difficult to make their loan payments under contractual terms. In certain of these cases, the Corporation has chosen to grant concessions and modify certain loan terms for a limited period of time.

The following table presents the troubled debt restructured loans, by collateral, at December 31, 2011 and 2010.

At December 31, 2011 and 2010, $3.8 million and $379 thousand, respectively, of troubled debt restructured loans are also included in nonaccrual loans above. All troubled debt restructured loans are considered and included in impaired loans at December 31, 2011 and had specific reserves of $987 thousand. At December 31, 2010, all troubled debt restructured loans are considered and included in impaired loans and had specific reserves of $268 thousand.

Except as set forth above, the Corporation does not have any potential problem loans that causes Management to have serious doubts as to the ability of such borrowers to comply with the present loan repayment terms and which may result in disclosure of such loans.

Impaired loans include non-accrual loans of $18.9 million and $18.1 million at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Impaired loans also include commercial mortgage troubled debt restructured loans of $5.4 million at December 31, 2011 and $5.2 million at December 31, 2010.

Long-term debt obligations include borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank with defined terms. The table reflects scheduled repayments of principal.

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. The Corporation also enters into various routine rental and maintenance contracts for facilities and equipment. These contracts are generally for one year.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS: The following table shows the amounts and expected maturities of significant commitments, consisting primarily of letters of credit, as of December 31, 2011.

	Less Than						More Than

Total Letters of Credit	$	2,739	$	525	$	336	$	—	$	3,600

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: The Corporation recorded total other income of $16.7 million in 2011, an increase of $2.6 million or 18 percent over 2010 levels. The increase in 2011 was attributable to increases in trust fees, service charges, bank owned life insurance and net securities gains, offset in part by a loss on the sale of an OREO property and lower gains on loans sold at origination. The year ended December 31, 2010 also included impairment charges on several equity and trust preferred pooled securities.

The Corporation realized trust fees totaling $10.7 million in 2011, an increase of $785 thousand or 8 percent, over the levels in 2010. This increase is attributable to an increase in trust business, including higher margin business, an increase in the average market value of assets under administration, on which the investment management fees are based, partially offset by a reduction of certain fees earned on placement of funds in money market instruments, due to the reduced interest rate environment. The average market value of assets under administration for 2011 increased to $1.95 billion compared to $1.89 billion for 2010, as the result of improving values in the markets as well as new business activity. The market value of assets under administration as of December 31, 2011 was $1.96 billion.

Income from service charges and fees of $2.9 million were recorded in 2011, an increase of $110 thousand or 4 percent, over the levels in 2010. This increase is principally attributable to increased core deposit accounts and activity from such account holders.

23

The Corporation also recorded income of $1.4 million related to Bank Owned Life Insurance (BOLI) policies in 2011, as compared to $863 thousand in 2010, an increase of $564 thousand or 65 percent, primarily due to proceeds on a life insurance policy received due to the passing of a former officer.

2011 reflected a $539 thousand decrease in gain on loans sold at origination as certain longer duration loans were retained in portfolio. Additionally, a $250 thousand loss on sale of an OREO property was included in other income during 2011.

Net gains on sales of securities totaled $1.0 million and $124 thousand in 2011 and 2010, respectively. The Corporation strategically sold investments during 2011 to reduce prepayment risk and/or interest rate risk and/or to benefit future yield or current capital. During the second half of 2010, the Corporation recorded two other-than-temporary non-cash impairment charges, $360 thousand on its equity portfolio and $581 thousand on three trust preferred pooled securities.

Operating expenses totaled $44.4 million in 2011, as compared to $43.1 million in 2010, an increase of $1.3 million, or 3 percent.

Salaries and benefits expense, which accounts for the largest portion of operating expenses, totaled $23.2 million in 2011, an increase of $701 thousand, or 3 percent, when compared to 2010. This increase is due to the increased costs of additional staff for the Corporation to keep up with the increased regulatory burden on financial institutions, normal salary increases and increased benefit costs, partially offset by various operational efficiencies. The Corporation’s full-time equivalent staff was 295 and 284 at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

In 2011, premises and equipment expense totaled $9.4 million as compared to $9.6 million in 2010, a decrease of $253 thousand, or 3 percent. 2011 included certain operational efficiencies. 2010 included certain one-time expenses due to the move to a new administration building.

The FDIC assessment expense decreased $790 thousand, or 34 percent, to $1.5 million in 2011 from $2.3 million in 2010. The Corporation’s assessments declined due to a regulatory change in the calculation of assessments.

24

Trust expense increased $251 thousand, or 19 percent, from 2010 totaling $1.5 million in 2011, as 2011 included a full year of the costs of a major system upgrade. The new system has improved efficiencies in maintaining client information as well as increased capacity for additional services. Professional and legal fees totaled $987 thousand in 2011, decreasing $158 thousand, or 14 percent, over 2010 expense due to certain one-time expenses in 2010. Loan expense totaled $1.0 million in 2011, increasing $141 thousand, or 16 percent, over 2010 expense due to higher expenses associated with problem loans. In 2011, the Corporation recorded a provision for losses on other real estate owned of $865 thousand, while there was no such provision in 2010.

When compared to 2010, other operating expenses in 2011 included: a $192 thousand prepayment penalty on the early payoff of an above market rate FHLB advance; greater expense associated with debit cards and internet and bill pay due to increased activity in 2011; and increased expenses associated with OREO. The Corporation strives to operate in an efficient manner and control costs as a means of producing increased earnings and enhancing shareholder value.

INCOME TAXES: Income tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2011 was $1.8 million as compared to income tax expense of $3.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. Included in income tax expense for 2011 was the reversal of a previously recorded valuation allowance of $3.0 million (or 21.37 percent of pretax income) against net state tax benefits related to security impairment charges recorded in the year ended December 31, 2008. Circumstances and projections indicated that this deferred tax asset would be realized in future periods. The effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2011 was 12.97 percent compared to 29.66 percent for the year ended December 31, 2010.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 2010 COMPARED TO 2009: For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Corporation recorded net income of $7.7 million and diluted earnings per share, after the effect of the preferred dividend, of $0.68. These results compared to net income of $7.1 million and diluted earnings per share, after the effect of the preferred dividend, of $0.64 for the year ended December 31, 2009. Per share results have been adjusted for the five percent stock dividend declared in 2009. These results produced a return on average assets of 0.52 percent and 0.49 percent in 2010 and 2009, respectively, and a return on average common shareholders’ equity of 6.26 percent in both 2010 and 2009. When compared to the 2009 period, 2010 included increased net interest income and trust fee income, partially offset by increased provision for loan losses, problem loan expense and occupancy expense.

Net interest income, on a fully tax-equivalent basis, was $50.6 million in 2010 as compared to $49.4 million in 2009; while the Corporation’s net interest margin increased six basis points to 3.64 percent in 2010 from 3.58 percent in 2009. Interest income on earning assets, on a fully tax-equivalent basis, declined $5.4 million to $61.6 million for 2010 as compared to 2009 due to the lower rates earned on earning assets. Total interest expense declined $6.6 million from 2009 to 2010, due, in large part, to the decline in certificate of deposit balances and rates.

25

The average rate earned on earning assets was 4.44 percent in 2010, a decline of 43 basis points from the average rate earned in 2009. The average yield on investment securities was 3.00 percent for 2010, while the average yield on investments in interest-earning deposits was 0.23 percent for 2010. The average yield on total loans decreased 12 basis points during 2010 to 5.27 percent from the 5.39 percent average yield earned in 2009. The average rate on earning assets declined due to the sustained low market rates in 2010 coupled with growth in lower-yielding, but less risky and shorter duration investment securities and interest-earning deposits.

The average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities declined to 0.96 percent for 2010 from 1.55 percent for 2009. During 2010, the average rate paid on interest-bearing deposits was 0.88 percent as compared to 1.48 percent during 2009. The average rates paid on Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings was 3.54 percent. The decline in the average rate on interest-bearing liabilities was due to the sustained low in market rates in 2010 coupled with targeted growth of lower-costing core deposits and planned run-off of higher-paying certificates of deposit.

For the year ended December 31, 2010, average earning assets totaled $1.39 billion, an increase of $10.2 million or less than 1 percent from the average balance in 2009. Average investment securities totaled $364.6 million in 2010, an increase of $67.4 million compared to 2009, while average loans totaled $958.5 million in 2010 as compared to $1.02 billion in 2009, a decline of $63.0 million, or 6 percent. Average investments in interest-earning deposits increased $5.8 million to $64.2 million for 2010 when compared to 2009.

For the year ended December 31, 2010, average interest-bearing liabilities totaled $1.15 billion, reflecting an increase of $9.5 million or 1 percent from the average balance in 2009. Average money market accounts rose $82.3 million, or 19 percent, from 2009 to $510.3 million during 2010, while average interest-bearing checking accounts rose $57.6 million or 29 percent over the comparable period in 2009. Checking account growth during 2010 was due to the Corporation’s focus on core deposit growth. Average certificates of deposit declined $131.2 million, or 33 percent, because the Corporation opted not to pay higher rates on maturing certificates of deposit.

In 2010, the Corporation recorded total other income of $14.1 million, an increase of $317 thousand or 2 percent over 2009 levels which was attributable to increases in trust fees, service charges and income from loan sales, offset in part by impairment charges on several equity and trust preferred pooled securities.

Trust fees totaled $9.9 million in 2010, an increase of $473 thousand or 5 percent, over the levels in 2009. This increase was attributable to an increase in the market value of assets under administration, on which the investment management fees are based and higher margin business, partially offset by a reduction of certain fees earned on placement of funds in money market instruments, due to the reduced interest rate environment. As a result of improving values in the equity markets as well as new business activity, the market value of assets under administration increased to $1.94 billion at December 31, 2010, compared to $1.86 billion at December 31, 2009.

26

The Corporation recorded income from service charges and fees of $2.8 million in 2010, an increase of $326 thousand or 13 percent, over the levels in 2009. This increase was attributable to increased overdraft and NSF charges. Also in 2010, the Corporation recorded income of $863 thousand on the cash surrender value on Bank Owned Life Insurance (BOLI) policies, as compared to $886 thousand in 2009, a decrease of $23 thousand or 3 percent, primarily due to the lower interest rate environment during 2010.

Gain on loans sold at origination increased from $657 thousand in 2009 to $1.0 million in 2010, an increase of $384 thousand or 58 percent. More customers were interested in longer-term, fixed-rate mortgages in the 2010 low-rate environment. These mortgages were sold rather than retained in portfolio for interest rate risk management purposes. Other noninterest income of $329 thousand was realized in 2010 as compared to $286 thousand in 2009, an increase of $43 thousand or 15 percent. This was the result of an increase in the late fee income earned on loans offset in part by a loss realized on the sale of other real estate owned during 2010.

Net gains on sales of securities totaled $124 thousand and $69 thousand in 2010 and 2009, respectively. In the second half of 2010, the Corporation recorded two other-than-temporary non-cash impairment charges, $360 thousand on its equity portfolio and $581 thousand on three trust preferred pooled securities.

In 2010, operating expenses totaled $43.1 million, as compared to $42.3 million in 2009, an increase of $844 thousand, or 2 percent. Salaries and benefits expense totaled $22.5 million in 2010, an increase of $652 thousand, or 3 percent, when compared to 2009, due, in part, to normal salary increases, increased benefit costs and increased commissions paid to mortgage originators on staff. As noted earlier, in 2010, the Corporation recorded higher income in 2010 on the sale of longer-term, fixed-rate mortgage loans, which were originated as a result of the efforts of our mortgage originators. The Corporation’s full-time equivalent staff was 284 and 281 at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Premises and equipment expense totaled $9.6 million in 2010 as compared to $8.8 million in 2009, an increase of $821 thousand, or 9 percent. This increase was attributable to the addition of a new corporate headquarters with higher operating expenses than the previous administration building. The Corporation also occupied two new offices in 2009, increasing occupancy expenses for 2010. In 2010, the FDIC assessment expense decreased $987 thousand, or 30 percent, to $2.3 million from $3.3 million. The 2009 FDIC insurance expense included the industry-wide special FDIC insurance premium assessed in the second quarter of 2009. Additionally, the Bank’s quarterly assessments declined in 2010.

In 2010, Trust expense totaled $1.3 million, increasing $470 thousand, or 57 percent, over 2009 due to the expenses of a major system upgrade. The new system has increased efficiencies in maintaining client information as well as increasing capacity for additional services. In 2010 and 2009, advertising expense totaled $691 thousand and $793 thousand, respectively, a decline of $102 thousand or 13 percent, due to a general reduction in traditional marketing efforts. Due to the installation of new telephone technology, expense for this line item increased $244 thousand, or 45 percent, over 2009. In addition, the Corporation recorded a provision for losses on other real estate owned of $640 thousand in 2009 associated with a contract for sale, while there was no such provision in 2010.

27

CAPITAL RESOURCES: A solid capital base provides the Corporation with the ability to support 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. Total shareholders’ equity increased $5.3 million or 4.5 percent to $123.0 million at December 31, 2011 when compared to $117.7 million at December 31, 2010.

At December 31, 2011, the Corporation’s common equity to total assets ratio was 6.81 percent, up from 6.44 percent at December 31, 2010. Also at December 31, 2011, the Corporation’s Tier 1 and total capital ratios were 12.51 percent and 13.76 percent, respectively, and its capital leverage ratio was 7.73 percent at December 31, 2011. On January 9, 2009, under the U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury”) Capital Purchase Program (“CPP”), the Corporation sold 28,685 shares of Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A, having a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share, and a ten-year warrant to purchase up to 150,296 shares of the Corporation’s common stock at an exercise price of $28.63 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $28.7 million.

Cumulative dividends on the Preferred Shares will accrue on the liquidation preference at a rate of 5 percent per annum for the first five years, and at a rate of 9 percent per annum thereafter. Subject to the approval of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Preferred Shares are redeemable at the option of the Corporation at 100 percent of their liquidation preference.

On January 6, 2010 and March 2, 2011, the Corporation redeemed 25 percent of the preferred shares issued under the Treasury’s CPP, each time repaying approximately $7.2 million to the Treasury, including accrued and unpaid dividends of approximately $51 thousand and $17 thousand, respectively. As a result of the repurchase, the accretion related to the preferred stock was accelerated and approximately $330 thousand and $246 thousand was recorded as a reduction to retained earnings in the first quarters of 2010 and 2011, respectively.

In January 2012, the Corporation announced that it had received approval to repurchase the remaining 50 percent of the preferred shares. On January 11, 2012, the Corporation repaid approximately $14.5 million to the Treasury, including accrued and unpaid dividends of approximately $112 thousand. Accretion related to the preferred stock was accelerated and approximately $362 thousand was recorded as a reduction to retained earnings in the first quarter of 2012. The 150,296 common share warrant remains outstanding after the redemption.

Since the preferred shares have been repurchased, the Corporation could repurchase the Warrant from the Treasury for its fair market value. If the Corporation and the Treasury cannot agree on a repurchase price, the warrant will be sold by the Treasury in a public auction. Unless both the holder and the Corporation agree otherwise, the exercise of the Warrant will be a net exercise (i.e., the holder does not pay cash but gives up shares with a market value at the time of exercise equal to the exercise price, resulting in a net settlement with significantly fewer than the 150,296 shares of Common Stock being issued).

28

Management believes the Corporation’s capital position and capital ratios are adequate. Additionally, Management believes it would have ready access to the capital markets should the need arise.

LIQUIDITY: Liquidity refers to an institution’s ability to meet short-term requirements including loan fundings, deposit withdrawals and maturing obligations. Principal sources of liquidity include cash, temporary investments, securities available for sale, deposit inflows and loan repayments.

Management actively monitors and manages the Corporation’s liquidity position and feels it is sufficient to meet future needs. Cash and cash equivalents, including federal funds sold and interest-earning deposits, totaled $43.1 million at December 31, 2011. In addition, the Corporation has $319.5 million in securities designated as available for sale at December 31, 2011. These securities can be sold in response to liquidity concerns. In addition, the Corporation generates significant liquidity from scheduled and unscheduled principal repayments of loans and mortgage-backed securities.

Another source of liquidity is borrowing capacity. At December 31, 2011, unused short-term or overnight borrowing commitments totaled $462.4 million from the FHLB and $28.9 million from correspondent banks.

ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT: The Corporation’s Asset/Liability Committee (ALCO) is responsible for implementing, monitoring and advising the Board of Directors on the level of interest rate risk. ALCO is responsible for developing, implementing and/or monitoring asset/liability management reports and strategies. In this regard, an interest rate risk simulation model, which utilizes the current balance sheet along with forward interest rate and growth projections prepared on a quarterly basis. This model has the ability to demonstrate balance sheet gaps, policy compliance analysis and predict changes to net interest income and economic/market value of portfolio equity under various interest rate scenarios.

In general, ALCO attempts to maintain a balance sheet that provides the maximum return possible consistent with acceptable exposure to credit and interest rate risk and substantial enough cash flows and reinvestment opportunities to allow the Corporation to remain profitable in all modeled rate environments.

ALCO is generally authorized to manage interest rate risk through management of capital and management of cash flows and duration of assets and liabilities, including sales and purchases of assets, as well as additions of wholesale borrowings.

Management currently uses the following strategies to manage interest rate risk:

• Actively market adjustable-rate and/or shorter-term residential mortgage loans;

• Actively market commercial mortgage loans, which tend to have shorter terms and higher interest rates than residential mortgage loans, and which generate customer relationships that can result in higher non-interest bearing demand deposit accounts;

• Actively sell longer-term, fixed-rate mortgages in the current low rate environment;

• Actively market core deposit relationships, which are generally longer duration liabilities;

29

• Lengthen the weighted average maturity of liabilities through retail deposit pricing strategies but without using longer-term wholesale funding such as fixed-rate advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York;

• Closely monitor and actively manage the investment portfolio, including management of prepayment risk and interest rate risk; and

 • Maintain high levels of capital.

At this time, the Corporation is not engaged in hedging through the use of derivatives nor does it use interest rate caps and floors.

ALCO uses simulation modeling, described above, to analyze the Corporation’s net interest income sensitivity, as well as the Corporation’s economic value of portfolio equity under various interest rate scenarios. The model is based on the actual maturity and repricing characteristics of rate sensitive assets and liabilities. The model incorporates certain prepayment and interest rate assumptions, which Management believes to be reasonable as of December 31, 2011. The model assumes changes in interest rates without any proactive change in the balance sheet by Management. In the model, the forecasted shape of the yield curve remains static as of December 31, 2011.

In an immediate and sustained 200 basis point increase in market rates at December 31, 2011, net interest income for 2012 would decline approximately 9 percent while net interest income for 2013 would improve approximately 2 percent, compared to a flat interest rate scenario.

The table below shows the estimated changes in the Corporation’s economic value of portfolio equity (“EVPE”) that would result from an immediate parallel change in the market interest rates at December 31, 2011.

(1) EVPE is the discounted present value of expected cash flows from assets and liabilities.

(2) Present value of assets represents the discounted present value of incoming cash flows on interest-earning assets.

(3) EVPE ratio represents EVPE divided by the present value of assets.

30

Certain shortcomings are inherent in the methodologies used in determining interest rate risk through changes in EVPE. Modeling changes in EVPE require making certain assumptions that may or may not reflect the manner in which actual yields and costs respond to changes in market interest rates. In this regard, the EVPE tables presented assume that the composition of our interest-sensitive assets and liabilities existing at the beginning of a period remains constant over the period being measured and assume that a particular change in interest rates is reflected uniformly across the yield curve regardless of the duration or repricing of specific assets and liabilities. Accordingly, although the EVPE tables provide an indication of our interest rate risk exposure at a particular point in time, such measurements are not intended to and do not provide a precise forecast of the effect of changes in market interest rates on our net interest income and will differ from actual results.

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.

PGB TRUST AND INVESTMENTS: Since its inception in 1972, PGB Trust and Investments, a division of the Bank, has served in the roles of executor and trustee and has provided investment management, custodial, tax, retirement and financial services to its growing client base. Officers from PGB Trust and Investments are available to provide investment services at the Corporate Headquarters in Bedminster and at five other locations, Clinton, Gladstone, Morristown and Summit, New Jersey and Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.

The market value of assets under administration at December 31, 2011 was $1.96 billion. Fee income generated by PGB Trust Investments was $10.7 million, $9.9 million and $9.4 million in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Management Report

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management of the Corporation is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Corporation’s internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance to the Corporation’s management and board of directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.

Management assessed the effectiveness of the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011. In making this assessment, it used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Based upon our assessment we believe that, as of December 31, 2011, the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting is effective based upon those criteria. The Corporation’s independent auditors have issued an audit report on the effectiveness of the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting. This report begins on the next page.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of condition of Peapack-Gladstone Financial Corporation (the Company) as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, 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, 2011. We also have audited Peapack-Gladstone Financial Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company’s management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management Report Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

38

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Peapack-Gladstone Financial Corporation as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2011 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, Peapack-Gladstone Financial Corporation maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation and Organization: The consolidated financial statements of Peapack-Gladstone Financial Corporation (the “Corporation”) are prepared on the accrual basis and include the accounts of the Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Peapack-Gladstone Bank (“the Bank”). The consolidated statements also include the Bank’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Peapack-Gladstone Mortgage Group, Inc., which was liquidated into the Bank on December 31, 2010. During 2009, the Bank closed its subsidiary, Peapack-Gladstone Investment Company. 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 and trust 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 U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. 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. The significant estimates that are particularly subject to change include the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, fair value of investment securities and other-than-temporary impairment on investment securities.

Segment Information: The Corporation’s business is conducted through its banking subsidiary and involves the delivery of loan and deposit products and trust services to customers. Management uses certain methodologies to allocate income and expense to the business segments.

The Banking segment includes commercial, commercial real estate, residential and consumer lending activities; deposit generation; operation of ATMs; telephone and internet banking services; merchant credit card services and customer support sales.

PGB Trust & Investments includes asset management services provided for individuals and institutions; personal trust services, including services as executor, trustee, administrator, custodian and guardian; corporate trust services including services as trustee for pension and profit sharing plans; and other financial planning and advisory services.

46

Cash and Cash Equivalents: For purposes of the statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash and due from banks, interest-earning deposits and federal funds sold. Generally, federal funds are sold for one-day periods. Net cash flows are reported for customer loan and deposit transactions and overnight borrowings.

Interest-Earning Deposits in Other Financial Institutions: Interest-earning deposits in other financial institutions mature within one year and are carried at cost.

Securities: Debt securities are classified as held to maturity and carried at amortized cost when Management has the positive intent and ability to hold them to maturity. Debt securities are classified as available for sale when they might be sold before maturity. Equity securities with readily determinable fair values are classified as available for sale. Securities available for sale are carried at fair value, with unrealized holding gains and losses reported in other comprehensive income, net of tax.

Interest income includes amortization of purchase premium or discount. Premiums and discounts on securities are amortized on the level-yield method without anticipating prepayments, except for mortgage-backed securities where prepayments are anticipated. Gains and losses on sales are recorded on the trade date and determined using the specific identification method.

Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment on at least a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such an evaluation. For securities in an unrealized loss position, Management considers the extent and duration of the unrealized loss and the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer. Management also assesses whether it intends to sell, or it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell, a security in an unrealized loss position before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met, the entire difference between amortized cost and fair value is recognized as impairment through earnings. For debt securities that do not meet the aforementioned criteria, the amount of impairment is split into two components as follows: 1) other-than-temporary impairment related to credit loss, which must be recognized in the income statement and 2) other-than-temporary impairment related to other factors, which is recognized in other comprehensive income.  The credit loss is defined as the difference between the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected and the amortized cost basis. For equity securities, the entire amount of impairment is recognized through earnings.

Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) and Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) Stock: The Bank is a member of the FHLB system. Members are required to own a certain amount of stock, based on the level of borrowings and other factors. FHLB stock is carried at cost, classified as a restricted security and periodically evaluated for impairment based on ultimate recovery of par value. Cash dividends are reported as income.

The Bank is also a member of the Federal Reserve Bank and required to own a certain amount of stock. FRB stock is carried at cost and classified as a restricted security. Cash dividends are reported as income.

Loans Held for Sale: Mortgage loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at fair value, as determined by outstanding commitments from investors. Net unrealized losses, if any, are recorded as a valuation allowance and charged to earnings.

47

Mortgage loans held for sale are generally sold with servicing rights released; therefore, no servicing rights are recorded. Gains and losses on sales of mortgage loans are based on the difference between the selling price and the carrying value of the related loan sold.

Loans: Loans that Management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity are stated at the principal amount outstanding. Interest on loans is recognized based upon the principal amount outstanding. Loans are stated at face value, less purchased premium and discounts and net deferred fees. Loan origination fees and certain direct loan origination costs are deferred and recognized over the life of the loan as an adjustment, on a level-yield method, to the loan’s yield. The definition of recorded investment in loans includes accrued interest receivable, however, for the Corporation’s loan disclosures, accrued interest was excluded as the impact was not material.

Loans are considered past due when they are not paid in accordance with contractual terms. The accrual of income on loans, including impaired loans, is discontinued if, in the opinion of Management, principal or interest is not likely to be paid in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement, or when principal or interest is past 90 days or more and collateral, if any, is insufficient to cover principal and interest. All interest accrued but not received for loans placed on nonaccrual is reversed against interest income. A nonaccrual loan is returned to accrual status only when interest and principal payments are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured. Commercial loans are generally charged off after an analysis is completed which indicates that collectability of the full principal balance is in doubt. Consumer loans are generally charged off after they become 120 days past due. Subsequent payments are credited to income only if collection of principal is not in doubt. If principal and interest payments are brought contractually current and future collectability is reasonably assured, loans are returned to accrual status. Mortgage loans are generally charged off when the value of the underlying collateral does not cover the outstanding principal balance. The majority of the Corporation’s loans are secured by real estate in the State of New Jersey.

Allowance for Loan Losses: The allowance for loan losses is a valuation allowance for probable incurred credit losses. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when Management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. Management estimates the allowance balance required using past loan loss experience, the nature and volume of the portfolio, information about specific borrower situations and estimated collateral values, economic conditions and other factors. Allocations of the allowance may be made for specific loans, but the entire allowance is available for any loan that, in Management’s judgment, should be charged off.

The allowance consists of specific and general components. The specific component of the allowance relates to loans that are individually classified as impaired.

A loan is impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Corporation will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Loans for which the terms have been modified resulting in a concession, and for which the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties, are considered troubled debt restructurings and are evaluated for impairment. Factors considered by Management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed.

48

All loans are individually evaluated for impairment when loans are classified as substandard by Management. If a loan is considered impaired, a portion of the allowance is allocated so that the loan is reported, net, at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s existing rate or at the fair value of collateral less estimated disposition costs if repayment is expected solely from the collateral. Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans, such as consumer and residential real estate loans, are collectively evaluated for impairment while they are performing assets. If and when a residential mortgage is placed on nonaccrual status and in the process of collection, such as through a foreclosure action, then they are evaluated for impairment on an individual basis and the loan is reported, net, at the fair value of the collateral less estimated disposition costs.

A troubled debt restructuring is a renegotiated loan with concessions made by the lender to a borrower who is experiencing financial difficulty. Troubled debt restructurings are separately identified for impairment and are measured at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s effective rate at inception. If a troubled debt restructuring is considered to be a collateral dependent loan, the loan is reported, net, at the fair value of the collateral, less estimated disposition costs. For troubled debt restructurings that subsequently default, the Corporation determines the amount of reserve in accordance with the accounting policy for the allowance for loan losses.

The general component of the allowance covers non-impaired loans and is based primarily on the Bank’s historical loss experience adjusted for current factors. The historical loss experience is determined by portfolio segment and is based on the actual loss history experienced by the Corporation on a weighted average basis over the previous two years. This actual loss experience is adjusted by other qualitative factors based on the risks present for each portfolio segment. These economic factors include consideration of the following: levels of and trends in delinquencies and impaired loans; levels of and trends in charge-offs and recoveries; trends in volume and terms of loans; effects of any changes in risk selection and underwriting standards; other changes in lending policies, procedures, and practices; experience, ability, and depth of lending management and other relevant staff; national and local economic trends and conditions; industry conditions; and effects of changes in credit concentrations.

In determining an appropriate amount for the allowance, the Bank segments and evaluates the loan portfolio based on Federal call report codes, which are based on collateral. The following portfolio classes have been identified:

a) Primary Residential Mortgage – represents all loans collaterized by the borrower’s primary residence. These are closed-end loans secured by 1-4 family residential properties that are secured by first liens. The Bank retains in its portfolio most conventional mortgage loans that have maturities of 15 years or less and generally sells most loans with maturities greater than 15 years. The Bank does not engage in sub-prime lending.

49

b)	Home Equity Lines of Credit – These are revolving, open-end loans secured by 1-4 family residential properties and extended under lines of credit.
c)	Junior Lien Loan on Residence – These are closed-end loans secured by 1-4 family residential properties that are secured by junior liens.
d)	Multifamily Property – These are loans secured by multifamily (5 or more) residential properties.
e)	Owner Occupied Commercial Real Estate – These are loans secured by owner-occupied nonfarm nonresidential properties.
f)	Investment Commercial Real Estate –These are loans secured by nonfarm nonresidential properties that are not owner-occupied.
g)	Commercial and Industrial – These are commercial and industrial loans not secured by real estate.
h)	Agricultural Production – These are loans to finance agricultural production and other loans to farmers.
i)	Commercial Construction – These are loans for construction, land development and other land loans.
j)	Consumer and Other – These are loans to individuals for household, family and other personal expenditures as well as obligations of states and political subdivisions in the U.S. This also represents all other loans that cannot be categorized in any of the previously mentioned loan segments.

Premises and Equipment: Land is carried at cost. Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation charges are computed using the straight-line method. Equipment and other fixed assets are depreciated over the estimated useful lives, which range from three to ten years. Premises are depreciated over the estimated useful life of 40 years, while leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the term of the lease. 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 (OREO): Other real estate owned is initially recorded at fair value, less costs to sell. When a property is acquired, the excess of the loan balance over the estimated fair value is charged to the allowance for loan losses. A valuation allowance is recorded through earnings for any subsequent decline in fair value and any gains or losses on the sale of properties are recorded through earnings. Operating costs after acquisition are expensed.

Bank Owned Life Insurance (BOLI): The Bank has purchased life insurance policies on certain key executives. BOLI is recorded at the amount that can be realized under the insurance contract at the balance sheet date, which is the cash surrender value adjusted for other charges or other amounts due that are probable at settlement.

Loan Commitments and Related Financial Instruments: Financial instruments include off-balance sheet credit instruments, such as commitments to make loans and commercial letters of credit, issued to meet customer financing needs. The face amount for these items represents the exposure to loss, before considering customer collateral or ability to repay. Such financial instruments are recorded when they are funded. Instruments, such as standby letters of credit, that are considered financial guarantees are recorded at fair value at inception.

50

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. Such tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effect of a change in tax rates in the period of enactment.

The Corporation recognizes a tax position as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded.

The Corporation is no longer subject to examination by the U.S. Federal tax authorities for years prior to 2008 or by New Jersey tax authorities for years prior to 2007.

The Corporation recognizes interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense.

Benefit Plans: The Corporation has a 401(K) profit-sharing and investment plan, which was last amended to enhance the contributions to its salaried employees starting in May 2008. The plan is more fully described in Note 12.

Stock-Based Compensation: Compensation cost is recognized for stock options and restricted stock awards issued to employees and non-employee directors, based on the fair value of these awards at the date of grant. A Black-Scholes model is utilized to estimate the fair value of stock options, while the market price of the Corporation’s common stock at the date of grant is used for restricted stock awards. Compensation expense is recognized over the required service period, generally defined as the vesting period. For awards with graded vesting, compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award. The stock options granted under these plans are exercisable at a price equal to the fair value of common stock on the date of grant and expire not more than ten years after the date of grant.

Earnings Per Share (“EPS”): In calculating earnings per share, there are no adjustments to net income available to common shareholders, which is the numerator of both the Basic and Diluted EPS. 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 options outstanding are common stock equivalents, as are restricted stock until vested. Earnings and dividends per share are restated for all stock splits and stock dividends through the date of issuance of the financial statements.

51

The following table shows the calculation of both Basic and Diluted earnings per share for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009:

(In Thousands Except Per Share Data)	2011		2010		2009
Net Income Available to Common Shareholders	$	10,940	$	5,978	$	5,633
Basic Weighted Average Shares Outstanding		8,741,209		8,784,655		8,715,419
Plus:  Common Stock Equivalents		1,061		366		50,838
Diluted Weighted Average Shares Outstanding		8,742,270		8,785,021		8,766,257
Earnings Per Share:
Basic	$	1.25	$	0.68	$	0.64
Diluted		1.25		0.68		0.64

Average shares of 657,121, 583,665 and 478,901 were not considered in computing diluted earnings per share for 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively, because they were antidilutive. These antidilutive shares include stock options, unvested restricted stock awards and the warrant issued to the U.S. Treasury for 150,296 common shares.

Loss Contingencies: Loss contingencies, including claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business, are recorded as liabilities when the likelihood of loss is probable and an amount or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. Management does not believe there are any such matters that will have a material effect on the financial statements.

Restrictions on Cash: Cash on hand or on deposit with the Federal Reserve Bank was required to meet regulatory reserve and clearing requirements.

Comprehensive Income: Comprehensive income consists of net income and the change during the period in the Corporation’s net unrealized gains or losses on securities available for sale, net of tax, less adjustments for realized gains and losses, net amortization of the unrealized loss on securities transferred to held to maturity from available for sale and accretion of the non-credit component on certain held to maturity securities with other-than-temporary impairment charges in previous periods. Total comprehensive income for the years ended 2011, 2010 and 2009 was $14.2 million, $7.6 million and $9.8 million, respectively.

Equity: Stock dividends in excess of 20 percent are reported by transferring the par value of the stock issued from retained earnings to common stock. Stock dividends for 20 percent or less are reported by transferring the fair value, as of the ex-dividend date, of the stock issued from retained earnings to common stock and additional paid-in capital. Fractional share amounts are paid in cash with a reduction in retained earnings. On June 18, 2009, a five percent stock dividend was declared. All prior share information has been restated for the stock dividend. Treasury stock is carried at cost.

Reclassification: Certain reclassifications have been made in the prior periods’ financial statements in order to conform to the 2011 presentation and had no effect on the consolidated income statements or shareholders’ equity.

New Accounting Policies: In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) amended existing guidance and eliminated the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in shareholders’ equity. The amendment requires that comprehensive income be presented in either a single continuous statement or in two separate consecutive statements. The amendments in this guidance are effective as of the beginning of the fiscal reporting year and interim periods within that year, beginning after December 15, 2011. The Corporation is currently evaluating the impact of this pronouncement on its financial statement presentation and disclosures.

Securities held to maturity having an approximate carrying value of $44.9 million and $12.7 million as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, were pledged to secure public funds and for other purposes required or permitted by law.

The following table presents the Corporation’s investment securities held to maturity with continuous unrealized losses and the approximate fair value of these investments as of December 31, 2011 and 2010.

Management has determined that any unrecognized losses on the securities held to maturity at December 31, 2011, are temporary and due to interest rate fluctuations and/or volatile market conditions, rather than the creditworthiness of the issuers. The Corporation monitors creditworthiness of issuers periodically, including issuers of trust preferred securities on a quarterly basis. The Corporation does not have the intent to sell these securities and it is likely that it will not be required to sell the securities before their anticipated recovery. All mortgage-backed securities were issued by U.S. government-sponsored agencies.

The trust preferred pooled securities within the Corporation’s held to maturity investment portfolio are collateralized by trust preferred securities issued primarily by individual bank holding companies, but also by insurance companies and real estate investment trusts. There has been little or no active trading in these securities for several years; therefore the Corporation believes in most cases it is more appropriate to estimate fair value using discounted cash flow analysis. As of December 31, 2008, to estimate fair value, and determine whether the securities were other-than-temporarily impaired, the Corporation retained and worked with a third party to review the issuers (the collateral) underlying each of the securities. Among the factors analyzed were the issuers’ profitability, credit quality, asset mix, capital adequacy, leverage and liquidity position, as well as an overall assessment of credit, profitability and capital trends within the portfolio’s issuer universe. These factors provided an assessment of the portion of the collateral of each security which was likely to default in future periods. The cash flows associated with the collateral likely to default, together with the cash flows associated with collateral which had already deferred or defaulted, were then eliminated. In addition, the Corporation assumed constant rates of default in excess of those based upon the historic performance of the underlying collateral. The resulting cash flows were then discounted to the current period to determine fair value for each security. The discount rate utilized was based on a risk-free rate (LIBOR) plus spreads appropriate for the product, which include consideration of liquidity and credit uncertainty.

54

Each quarter during 2011 and 2010, to periodically assess the credit assumptions and related input data that could affect the fair value of each security, Management compared actual deferrals and defaults to the assumed deferrals and defaults included in the valuation model.

As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Corporation again worked with a third party to model the securities and review its valuation. The modeling process and related assumptions were similar to the process and related assumptions employed as of December 31, 2008. In 2011, no additional impairment charges were recorded, while $581 thousand in impairment charges were recorded on three trust preferred pooled securities for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Further significant downturns in the real estate markets and/or the economy could cause additional issuers to defer paying dividends on these securities and/or ultimately default. Such occurrences, if beyond those assumed in the current valuation, could cause an additional write-down of the portfolio, with a negative impact on earnings; however, the Corporation has already recorded a substantial write-down of its trust preferred pooled securities portfolio. We do not expect that an additional write-down would have a material effect on the cash flows from the securities or on our liquidity position.

At December 31, 2011 and 2010, other-than-temporary impairment recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income totaled $2.7 million and $3.1 million, respectively.

The table below presents a rollforward for the periods ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 of the credit losses recognized in earnings:

Management believes that the unrealized losses on investment securities available for sale are temporary and due to interest rate fluctuations and/or volatile market conditions rather than the creditworthiness of the issuers. The Corporation does not intend to sell these securities nor is it likely that it will be required to sell the securities before their anticipated recovery.

At December 31, 2011, the unrealized loss of $832 thousand on Other Securities is related to a security issued by a large bank holding company that has experienced declines in all its securities due to the turmoil in the financial markets and a merger. The security is a single-issuer trust preferred security. It was downgraded to below investment grade by Moody’s and is currently rated Ba1. Management monitors the performance of the issuer on a quarterly basis to determine if there are any credit events that could result in deferral or default of the security. In spite of the credit downgrade, the fair value of this security at December 31, 2011, is higher than the fair value at December 31, 2010. Management believes the depressed valuation is a result of the nature of the security (trust preferred bond) and the bond’s very low yield. At December 31, 2011, Management does not intend to sell the security nor is it likely that it will be required to sell the security before its anticipated recovery.

57

No other-than-temporary impairment charges were recognized in 2011; however, in 2010, the Corporation recognized a noncash charge of $360 thousand related to an other-than-temporary impairment charge for seven equity securities with a cost of $1.1 million. No other-than-temporary impairment charges were recognized in 2009.

Credit Quality Indicators:

The Corporation categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors. The Corporation analyzes loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk. The risk rating analysis of loans is performed (i) when the loan is initially underwritten, (ii) annually for loans in excess of $500,000, (iii) on a random quarterly basis from either internal reviews with the Senior Credit Officer or externally through an independent loan review firm, or (iv) whenever Management otherwise identifies a potentially negative trend or issue relating to a borrower. The Corporation uses the following definitions for risk ratings:

Special Mention: Loans subject to special mention have a potential weakness that deserves Management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loans or of the institution’s credit position at some future date.

Substandard: Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful: Loans classified as doubtful have all the weakness inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.

The Corporation considers the performance of the loan portfolio and its impact on the allowance for loan losses. For residential and consumer loans, the Corporation evaluated credit quality primarily based on the aging status of the loan, which was previously presented.

Loans not meeting the criteria above that are analyzed individually as part of the above described process are considered to be pass rated loans. As of December 31, 2011, and based on the most recent analysis performed, the risk category of loans by class of loans is as follows:

Troubled Debt Restructurings:

The Corporation has allocated $707 thousand and $324 thousand of specific reserves to customers whose loan terms have been modified in troubled debt restructurings as of December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. There were no unfunded commitments to lend additional amounts to customers with outstanding loans that are classified as troubled debt restructurings.

During the period ended December 31, 2011, the terms of certain loans were modified as troubled debt restructurings. The modification of the terms of such loans included one or a combination of the following: a reduction of the stated interest rate of the loan; an extension of the maturity date at a stated rate of interest lower that the current market rate for new debt with similar risk; or a permanent reduction of the recorded investment in the loan.

The following table presents loans by class modified as troubled debt restructurings that occurred during the year ended December 31, 2011:

			Pre-Modification		Post-Modification
			Outstanding		Outstanding
	Number of		Recorded		Recorded
Troubled Debt Restructurings	Contracts		Investment		Investment
Primary Residential Mortgage		3	$	1,410	$	1,410
Owner-Occupied Commercial Real Estate		1		412		412
Investment Commercial Real Estate		1		4,949		4,949
Total		5	$	6,771	$	6,771

The residential mortgages were modified by extending the maturities longer than six months. Both of the commercial real estate loans were modified to an interest only basis pending the sale of the underlying collateral. The Bank did not forgive any principal or interest on any of these loans and expects to collect the full amount that is contractually owed.

66

The following table presents loans by class modified as troubled debt restructurings on accrual as of December 31, 2011:

			Pre-Modification		Post-Modification
			Outstanding		Outstanding
	Number of		Recorded		Recorded		Specific
Troubled Debt Restructurings on Accrual	Contracts		Investment		Investment		Reserves
Primary Residential Mortgage		3	$	1,410	$	1,410	$	201
Owner-Occupied Commercial Real Estate		1		412		412		—

Commercial and Industrial		3		509		509		51
Total		8	$	7,281	$	7,281	$	707

There are five loans totaling $3.8 million that have been categorized as troubled debt restructurings that are also included in loans that are on nonaccrual. Three of these loans consist of owner-occupied commercial real estate and total $3.3 million. One is a residential first mortgage totaling $198 thousand and one is a commercial mortgage totaling $299 thousand on a mixed use investment property.

The following table presents loans by class modified as troubled debt restructurings during the year ended December 31, 2011 for which there was a payment default during the same period:

Troubled Debt Restructurings That	Number of		Recorded
Subsequently Defaulted	Contracts		Investment
Owner-Occupied Commercial Real Estate		1	$	412
Total		1	$	412

The terms of certain other loans were modified during the period ending December 31, 2011 that did not meet the definition of a troubled debt restructuring. These are loans that are still on the books and have a total recorded investment as December 31, 2011 of $2.7 million. The modification of these loans involved either a modification of the terms of a loan to borrowers who were not experiencing financial difficulties or a delay in a payment that was considered to be insignificant.

In order to determine whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, an evaluation is performed of the probability that the borrower will be in payment default on any of its debt in the foreseeable future without the modification. This evaluation is performed under the Corporation’s internal underwriting policy.

9. FAIR VALUE

Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair values:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.

Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a company’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

The Corporation used the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate the fair value:

Investment Securities: The fair values for investment securities are determined by quoted market prices, if available (Level 1). For securities where quoted prices are not available, fair values are calculated based on market prices of similar securities (Level 2). For securities where quoted prices or market prices of similar securities are not available, fair values are calculated using discounted cash flows or other market indicators (Level 3). Discounted cash flows are calculated using spread to swap and LIBOR curves that are updated to incorporate loss severities, volatility, credit spread and optionality. During times when trading is more liquid, broker quotes are used, if available, to validate the model. Rating agency and industry research reports as well as defaults and deferrals on individual securities are reviewed and incorporated into the calculations. There were no transfers of securities between Level 1 and Level 2 during 2011.

Impaired Loans: The fair value of impaired loans with specific allocations of the allowance for loan losses is generally based on recent real estate appraisals, less cost to sell. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are usually significant and typically result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value.

71

Other Real Estate Owned: Nonrecurring adjustments to certain commercial and residential real estate properties classified as other real estate owned (OREO) are measured at fair value, less costs to sell. Fair values are based on recent real estate appraisals. These appraisals may use a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are usually significant and typically result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value.

The following table summarizes, for the periods indicated, assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

Impaired loans that are measured for impairment using the fair value of the collateral for collateral dependent loans, had a recorded investment of $4.6 million, with a valuation allowance of $1.3 million at December 31, 2011. Impaired loans that are measured for impairment using the fair value of the collateral for collateral dependent loans, had a recorded investment of $16.3 million, with a valuation allowance of $2.5 million at December 31, 2010.

At December 31, 2011 other real estate owned, at fair value, consisted of one property with a gross investment of $3.0 million and a valuation allowance of $865 thousand.

Accrued Interest Payable		460		460		716		716

The methods and assumptions, not previously presented, used to estimate fair value are described as follows:

The carrying amount is the estimated fair value for cash and cash equivalents, interest-earning deposits, accrued interest receivable and payable, demand deposits, short-term debt, and variable-rate loans or deposits that reprice frequently and fully. For fixed-rate loans or deposits and for variable-rate loans or deposits with infrequent repricing or repricing limits, fair value is based on discounted cash flows using current market rates applied to the estimated life and credit risk, including consideration of credit spreads. Fair value of debt is based on current rates for similar financing. It was not practicable to determine the fair value of FHLB or FRB stock due to restrictions placed on its transferability. The fair value of off-balance sheet items is not considered material or is based on the current fees or cost that would be charged to enter into or terminate such arrangements.

Investment Securities, Principally due to the Accretion of Bond Discount		42		47
Total Gross Deferred Tax Liabilities		5,133		3,518
Net Deferred Tax Asset	$	26,731	$	25,725

The net deferred asset includes the tax effect of $4.7 million of New Jersey net operating loss carryforwards that expire from 2012 through 2029.

During 2008, the Corporation recorded a $56.1 million other-than-temporary impairment on its trust preferred pooled securities. The impairment was recorded at the Bank level and resulted in a deferred state tax benefit of approximately $3.3 million. At December 31, 2008, the Corporation concluded that it was more likely than not that it would not realize this state tax benefit before the expiration of the net operating loss carryforward period and recorded a full valuation allowance against the state tax benefit. At the time, the analysis was based on numerous factors, including the State of New Jersey tax statutes, the ongoing performance and related forecasts of the Corporation and the Bank and the status of the economy and its impact on the forecasts.

76

The Corporation concluded, during the third quarter of 2011, that it was more likely than not that the 2008 state tax benefit was realizable and as such reversed the full valuation allowance, which resulted in an income tax benefit recognized in the third quarter of $3.0 million. The determination was based on the trends in state taxable income of the Bank and the five-year earnings forecast that was completed during the third quarter of 2011.

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.

12. BENEFIT PLANS

SAVINGS AND PROFIT SHARING PLANS:

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 plan, the Corporation contributes three percent of salary for each employee regardless of the employees’ contributions as well as partially matching employee contributions. In addition, the Corporation is contributing an enhanced benefit to employees who were previously in the defined benefit plan, which was discontinued in 2008. In 2011 and 2010, the enhanced benefit was approximately $830 thousand and $801 thousand, respectively. Expense for the savings plan totaled approximately $2.0 million, $1.7 million and $1.8 million in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Contributions to the profit sharing plan are made at the discretion of the Board of Directors and all funds are invested solely in Peapack-Gladstone Corporation common stock. The aggregate contribution to the profit sharing plan was $100 thousand in each of 2011, 2010 and 2009.

13. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Corporation’s 2002 Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan (as amended) and 2006 Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan allow the granting of shares of the Corporation’s common stock as incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, restricted stock awards and stock appreciation rights to directors, officers, employees and independent contractors of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries. The total number initially available to grant in active plans was 775,740 shares. There are no shares remaining for issuance with respect to stock option plans approved in 1995 and 1998; however, options granted under those plans are still included in the numbers below. At December 31, 2011, there were 187,977 additional shares available for grant under the unexpired plans.

Options granted under the long-term stock incentive 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. Stock options may vest during a period of up to five years after the date of grant. Some options granted to officers at or above the senior vice president level were immediately exercisable at the date of grant. The Corporation has a policy of using new shares to satisfy option exercises.

Changes in options outstanding during 2011 were as follows:

						Weighted
				Weighted		Average		Aggregate
				Average		Remaining		Intrinsic
	Number of			Exercise		Contractual		Value (In
	Options			Price		Term		Thousands)
Balance, January 1, 2011		578,763		$	23.75
Granted During 2011		71,200			13.03
Expired During 2011		(67,901	)		15.55
Forfeited During 2011		(4,280	)		15.53
Balance, December 31, 2011		577,782		$	23.45		4.44 years	$	—
Vested and Expected to Vest (1)		550,674		$	23.83		4.44 years	$	—
Exercisable at December 31, 2011		418,321		$	26.37		3.08 years	$	—

(1) The difference between the shares which are exercisable (fully vested) and those which are expected to vest is due to anticipated forfeitures.

The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the total pre-tax intrinsic value (the difference between the Corporation’s closing stock price on the last trading day of 2011 and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of in-the-money options). The Corporation’s closing stock price on December 31, 2011 was $10.75; therefore, there was less than $1 thousand intrinsic value in the stock options outstanding at that date.

There were no options exercised during 2011 and 2010. The aggregate intrinsic value of options exercised during 2009 was $230 thousand.

78

The per share weighted-average fair value of stock options granted during 2011, 2010 and 2009 was $3.88, $8.31 and $7.33, respectively, on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:

	2011			2010			2009
Dividend Yield		1.60	%		1.30	%		2.05	%
Expected Volatility		32	%		72	%		50	%
Expected Life		7 Years			7 Years			7 Years
Risk-Free Interest Rate		2.08	%		2.91	%		2.57	%

For 2011, 2010 and 2009, the expected life of the option is the typical holding period of the Corporation’s options before being exercised by the optionee. The risk-free interest rate is the rate on a seven-year treasury bond for 2011, 2010 and 2009. The volatility is the performance the stock has experienced in the last five years.

As of December 31, 2011, there was approximately $640 thousand of unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the Corporation’s stock incentive plans. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.4 years.

The Corporation issued 28,732 and 55,993 restricted stock awards in 2011 and 2010, respectively, at a fair value equal to the market price of the Corporation’s common stock at the date of grant. The awards vest 40 percent after two years and 20 percent each year after until fully vesting on the fifth anniversary of the grant date. There were no forfeitures or vesting of restricted stock awards during 2011. As of December 31, 2011, there was $733 thousand of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested shares,which is expected to vest over 1.6 years.

Changes in nonvested shares for 2011 were as follows:

			Weighted
			Average
	Number of		Grant Date
	Shares		Fair Value
Balance, January 1, 2011		55,993	$	13.43
Granted During 2011		28,732		13.53

14. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

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 mostly variable-rate loan commitments of $104.4 million and $108.7 million at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, which are not included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. These commitments include unused commercial and home equity lines of credit.

The Corporation issues financial standby letters of credit that 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 relations 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 $3.6 million and $7.5 million at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The fair value of the Corporation’s liability for financial standby letters of credit was insignificant at December 31, 2011.

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, 2011, the Corporation was obligated under non-cancelable operating leases for certain premises. Rental expense aggregated $2.4 million, $2.6 million and $2.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, 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 operating lease agreements, as of December 31, 2011, were as follows:

(In Thousands)
2012	$	2,449
2013		2,361
2014		2,099
2015		2,012

The Corporation leases its administrative offices under a capital lease and, in addition, sold its Gladstone property in December 2011 and leased back the portion housing the branch under a capital lease.

The following is a schedule by year of future minimum lease payments under capitalized leases, together with the present value of net minimum lease payments as of December 31, 2011.

The Corporation is also obligated under legally binding and enforceable agreements to purchase goods and services from third parties, including data processing service agreements.

15. REGULATORY CAPITAL

The Corporation through the Bank is 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. If adequately capitalized, regulatory approval is required to accept brokered deposits. If undercapitalized, capital distributions are limited, as is asset growth and expansion, and capital restoration plans are required.

Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank’s assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The 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 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). At year-end 2011 and 2010, the Bank maintained capital levels which met or exceeded the levels required to be considered well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. There are no conditions or events since that notification that Management believes have changed the institution’s category.

To be categorized as well capitalized, the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier I risk-based and Tier I leverage ratios as set forth in the table.

The Bank’s actual capital amounts and ratios are presented in the following table.

					To Be Well

As fully described in Footnote 18, Subsequent Events, the Corporation redeemed the remaining portion of the preferred shares issued under the Treasury’s Capital Purchase Program, repaying $14.5 million on January 11, 2012. In association with this repayment, the Bank paid a $14.5 million dividend to the Corporation on January 10, 2012. The dividend was specifically approved by the Bank’s primary regulator.

83

16. PREFERRED STOCK

On January 9, 2009, as part of the U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury”) Troubled Asset Relief Program (“TARP”) Capital Purchase Program, the Corporation sold 28,685 shares of the Corporation’s Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A, having a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share, and a ten-year warrant to purchase up to 150,296 shares of the Corporation’s common stock, no par value at an exercise price of $28.63 per share, after adjusting for the five percent stock dividend declared on June 18, 2009, for an aggregate purchase price of $28.7 million in cash, allocated $1.6 million to warrants and $27.1 million to preferred stock.

Cumulative dividends on the preferred shares accrue on the liquidation preference at a rate of 5 percent per annum for the first five years, and at a rate of 9 percent per annum thereafter. Subject to the approval of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the preferred shares are redeemable at the option of the Corporation at 100 percent of their liquidation preference. If the Corporation redeems the preferred shares and the Treasury still owns the warrant, the Corporation could repurchase the warrant from the Treasury for its fair market value. Unless both the holder and the Corporation agree otherwise, the exercise of the warrant will be a net exercise (i.e., the holder does not pay cash but gives up shares with a market value at the time of exercise equal to the exercise price, resulting in a net settlement with significantly fewer than the 150,296 shares of common stock being issued).

The Securities Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which the preferred shares and the warrant were sold, contains limitations on the payment of dividends on the common stock, including with respect to the payment of quarterly cash dividends in excess of $0.16 per share, which was the amount of the last regular dividend declared by the Corporation prior to October 14, 2008 and on the Corporation’s ability to repurchase its Common Stock. The Corporation is also subject to certain executive compensation limitations included in the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (the “EESA”).

On January 6, 2010 and March 2, 2011, the Corporation redeemed 25 percent of the preferred shares issued under the Treasury’s CPP, each time repaying approximately $7.2 million to the Treasury, including accrued and unpaid dividends of approximately $51 thousand and $17 thousand, respectively. As a result of the repurchase, the accretion related to the preferred stock was accelerated and approximately $330 thousand and $246 thousand was recorded as a reduction to retained earnings in the first quarters of 2010 and 2011, respectively. The Corporation’s redemption of the shares was not subject to additional conditions or stipulations from the Treasury.

84

17. BUSINESS SEGMENTS

The Corporation assesses its results among two operating segments, Banking and PGB Trust and Investments. Management uses certain methodologies to allocate income and expense to the business segments. A funds transfer pricing methodology is used to assign interest income and interest expense. Certain indirect expenses are allocated to segments. These include support unit expenses such as technology and operations and other support functions. Taxes are allocated to each segment based on the effective rate for the period shown.

Banking

The Banking segment includes commercial, commercial real estate, residential and consumer lending activities; deposit generation; operation of ATMs; telephone and internet banking services; merchant credit card services and customer support and sales.

PGB Trust & Investments

PGB Trust & Investments includes asset management services provided for individuals and institutions; personal trust services, including services as executor, trustee, administrator, custodian and guardian, corporate trust services including services as trustee for pension and profit sharing plans; and other financial planning and advisory services.

The following table presents the statements of income and total assets for the Corporation’s reportable segments for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009.

18. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On January 11, 2012, the Corporation redeemed the remaining 50 percent of the preferred shares issued under the Treasury’s CPP, repaying approximately $14.5 million to the Treasury, including accrued and unpaid dividends of approximately $112 thousand. The Corporation’s redemption of the shares was not subject to additional conditions or stipulations from the Treasury. As a result of the repurchase, the accretion related to the preferred stock was accelerated and approximately $362 thousand was recorded as a reduction to retained earnings in the first quarter of 2012. The 150,296 common share warrant remains outstanding after the redemption.

              (ii)         The compensation committee of Peapack-Gladstone Financial Corporation has identified and limited during any part of the most recently completed fiscal year that was a TARP period any features of the SEO compensation plans that could lead SEOs to take unnecessary and excessive risks that could threaten the value of Peapack-Gladstone Financial Corporation and has identified any features of the employee compensation plans that pose risks to Peapack-Gladstone Financial Corporation and has limited those features to ensure that Peapack-Gladstone Financial Corporation is not unnecessarily exposed to risks;

              (iii)        The compensation committee has reviewed, at least every six months during any part of the most recently completed fiscal year that was a TARP period, the terms of each employee compensation plan and identified any features of the plan that could encourage the manipulation of reported earnings of Peapack-Gladstone Financial Corporation to enhance the compensation of an employee, and has limited any such features (the compensation committee undertook this review on each of March 1, 2011 and August 18, 2011);

              (iv)        The compensation committee of Peapack-Gladstone Financial Corporation will certify to the reviews of the SEO compensation plans and employee compensation plans required under (i) and (iii) above;

              (vii)       Peapack-Gladstone Financial Corporation has prohibited any golden parachute payment, as defined in the regulations and guidance established under section 111 of EESA, to an SEO or any of the next five most highly compensated employees during any part of the most recently completed fiscal year that was a TARP period;

              (ix)         Peapack-Gladstone Financial Corporation and its employees have complied with the excessive or luxury expenditures policy, as defined in the regulations and guidance established under section 111 of EESA, during any part of the most recently completed fiscal year that was a TARP period; and any expenses that, pursuant to the policy, required approval of the board of directors, a committee of the board of directors, an SEO, or an executive officer with a similar level of responsibility were properly approved;

              (x)          Peapack-Gladstone Financial Corporation will permit a non-binding shareholder resolution in compliance with any applicable federal securities rules and regulations on the disclosures provided under the federal securities laws related to SEO compensation paid or accrued during any part of the most recently completed fiscal year that was a TARP period;

              (xi)         Peapack-Gladstone Financial Corporation will disclose the amount, nature, and justification for the offering, during any part of the most recently completed fiscal year that was a TARP period, of any perquisites, as defined in the regulations and guidance established under section 111 of EESA, whose total value exceeds $25,000 for any employee who is subject to the bonus payment limitations identified in paragraph (viii);

              (xii)        Peapack-Gladstone Financial Corporation will disclose whether Peapack-Gladstone Financial Corporation, the board of directors of Peapack-Gladstone Financial Corporation, or the compensation committee of Peapack-Gladstone Financial Corporation has engaged during any part of the most recently completed fiscal year that was a TARP period a compensation consultant; and the services the compensation consultant or any affiliate of the compensation consultant provided during this period;

              (xiii)       Peapack-Gladstone Financial Corporation has prohibited the payment of any gross-ups, as defined in the regulations and guidance established under section 111 of EESA, to the SEOs and the next twenty most highly compensated employees during any part of the most recently completed fiscal year that was a TARP period;

              (xiv)       Peapack-Gladstone Financial Corporation has substantially complied with all other requirements related to employee compensation that are provided in the agreement between Peapack-Gladstone Financial Corporation and Treasury, including any amendments;

As a result of the repurchase, the accretion related to the preferred stock was accelerated and approximately $362 thousand was recorded as a reduction to retained earnings in the first quarter of 2012. The 150,296 common share warrant remains outstanding after the redemption.

Management has determined that any unrecognized losses on the securities held to maturity at December 31, 2011, are temporary and due to interest rate fluctuations and/or volatile market conditions, rather than the creditworthiness of the issuers. The Corporation monitors creditworthiness of issuers periodically, including issuers of trust preferred securities on a quarterly basis. The Corporation does not have the intent to sell these securities and it is likely that it will not be required to sell the securities before their anticipated recovery. All mortgage-backed securities were issued by U.S. government-sponsored agencies.

The trust preferred pooled securities within the Corporation’s held to maturity investment portfolio are collateralized by trust preferred securities issued primarily by individual bank holding companies, but also by insurance companies and real estate investment trusts. There has been little or no active trading in these securities for several years; therefore the Corporation believes in most cases it is more appropriate to estimate fair value using discounted cash flow analysis. As of December 31, 2008, to estimate fair value, and determine whether the securities were other-than-temporarily impaired, the Corporation retained and worked with a third party to review the issuers (the collateral) underlying each of the securities. Among the factors analyzed were the issuers’ profitability, credit quality, asset mix, capital adequacy, leverage and liquidity position, as well as an overall assessment of credit, profitability and capital trends within the portfolio’s issuer universe. These factors provided an assessment of the portion of the collateral of each security which was likely to default in future periods. The cash flows associated with the collateral likely to default, together with the cash flows associated with collateral which had already deferred or defaulted, were then eliminated. In addition, the Corporation assumed constant rates of default in excess of those based upon the historic performance of the underlying collateral. The resulting cash flows were then discounted to the current period to determine fair value for each security. The discount rate utilized was based on a risk-free rate (LIBOR) plus spreads appropriate for the product, which include consideration of liquidity and credit uncertainty.

Each quarter during 2011 and 2010, to periodically assess the credit assumptions and related input data that could affect the fair value of each security, Management compared actual deferrals and defaults to the assumed deferrals and defaults included in the valuation model.

As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Corporation again worked with a third party to model the securities and review its valuation. The modeling process and related assumptions were similar to the process and related assumptions employed as of December 31, 2008. In 2011, no additional impairment charges were recorded, while $581 thousand in impairment charges were recorded on three trust preferred pooled securities for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Further significant downturns in the real estate markets and/or the economy could cause additional issuers to defer paying dividends on these securities and/or ultimately default. Such occurrences, if beyond those assumed in the current valuation, could cause an additional write-down of the portfolio, with a negative impact on earnings; however, the Corporation has already recorded a substantial write-down of its trust preferred pooled securities portfolio. We do not expect that an additional write-down would have a material effect on the cash flows from the securities or on our liquidity position.

At December 31, 2011 and 2010, other-than-temporary impairment recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income totaled $2.7 million and $3.1 million, respectively.

The table below presents a rollforward for the periods ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 of the credit losses recognized in earnings:

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation and Organization: The consolidated financial statements of Peapack-Gladstone Financial Corporation (the “Corporation”) are prepared on the accrual basis and include the accounts of the Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Peapack-Gladstone Bank (“the Bank”). The consolidated statements also include the Bank’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Peapack-Gladstone Mortgage Group, Inc., which was liquidated into the Bank on December 31, 2010. During 2009, the Bank closed its subsidiary, Peapack-Gladstone Investment Company. 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 and trust 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 U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. 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. The significant estimates that are particularly subject to change include the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, fair value of investment securities and other-than-temporary impairment on investment securities.

Segment Information: The Corporation’s business is conducted through its banking subsidiary and involves the delivery of loan and deposit products and trust services to customers. Management uses certain methodologies to allocate income and expense to the business segments.

The Banking segment includes commercial, commercial real estate, residential and consumer lending activities; deposit generation; operation of ATMs; telephone and internet banking services; merchant credit card services and customer support sales.

PGB Trust & Investments includes asset Management services provided for individuals and institutions; personal trust services, including services as executor, trustee, administrator, custodian and guardian; corporate trust services including services as trustee for pension and profit sharing plans; and other financial planning and advisory services.

Cash and Cash Equivalents: For purposes of the statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash and due from banks, interest-earning deposits and federal funds sold. Generally, federal funds are sold for one-day periods. Net cash flows are reported for customer loan and deposit transactions and overnight borrowings.

Interest-Earning Deposits in Other Financial Institutions: Interest-earning deposits in other financial institutions mature within one year and are carried at cost.

Securities: Debt securities are classified as held to maturity and carried at amortized cost when management has the positive intent and ability to hold them to maturity. Debt securities are classified as available for sale when they might be sold before maturity. Equity securities with readily determinable fair values are classified as available for sale. Securities available for sale are carried at fair value, with unrealized holding gains and losses reported in other comprehensive income, net of tax.

Interest income includes amortization of purchase premium or discount. Premiums and discounts on securities are amortized on the level-yield method without anticipating prepayments, except for mortgage-backed securities where prepayments are anticipated. Gains and losses on sales are recorded on the trade date and determined using the specific identification method.

Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment on at least a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such an evaluation. For securities in an unrealized loss position, Management considers the extent and duration of the unrealized loss and the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer. Management also assesses whether it intends to sell, or it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell, a security in an unrealized loss position before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met, the entire difference between amortized cost and fair value is recognized as impairment through earnings. For debt securities that do not meet the aforementioned criteria, the amount of impairment is split into two components as follows: 1) other-than-temporary impairment related to credit loss, which must be recognized in the income statement and 2) other-than-temporary impairment related to other factors, which is recognized in other comprehensive income.  The credit loss is defined as the difference between the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected and the amortized cost basis. For equity securities, the entire amount of impairment is recognized through earnings.

Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) and Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) Stock: The Bank is a member of the FHLB system. Members are required to own a certain amount of stock, based on the level of borrowings and other factors. FHLB stock is carried at cost, classified as a restricted security and periodically evaluated for impairment based on ultimate recovery of par value. Cash dividends are reported as income.

The Bank is also a member of the Federal Reserve Bank and required to own a certain amount of stock. FRB stock is carried at cost and classified as a restricted security. Cash dividends are reported as income.

Loans Held for Sale: Mortgage loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at fair value, as determined by outstanding commitments from investors. Net unrealized losses, if any, are recorded as a valuation allowance and charged to earnings.

Mortgage loans held for sale are generally sold with servicing rights released; therefore, no servicing rights are recorded. Gains and losses on sales of mortgage loans are based on the difference between the selling price and the carrying value of the related loan sold.

Loans: Loans that Management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity are stated at the principal amount outstanding. Interest on loans is recognized based upon the principal amount outstanding. Loans are stated at face value, less purchased premium and discounts and net deferred fees. Loan origination fees and certain direct loan origination costs are deferred and recognized over the life of the loan as an adjustment, on a level-yield method, to the loan’s yield. The definition of recorded investment in loans includes accrued interest receivable, however, for the Corporation’s loan disclosures, accrued interest was excluded as the impact was not material.

Loans are considered past due when they are not paid in accordance with contractual terms. The accrual of income on loans, including impaired loans, is discontinued if, in the opinion of Management, principal or interest is not likely to be paid in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement, or when principal or interest is past 90 days or more and collateral, if any, is insufficient to cover principal and interest. All interest accrued but not received for loans placed on nonaccrual is reversed against interest income. A nonaccrual loan is returned to accrual status only when interest and principal payments are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured. Commercial loans are generally charged off after an analysis is completed which indicates that collectability of the full principal balance is in doubt. Consumer loans are generally charged off after they become 120 days past due. Subsequent payments are credited to income only if collection of principal is not in doubt. If principal and interest payments are brought contractually current and future collectability is reasonably assured, loans are returned to accrual status. Mortgage loans are generally charged off when the value of the underlying collateral does not cover the outstanding principal balance. The majority of the Corporation’s loans are secured by real estate in the State of New Jersey.

Allowance for Loan Losses: The allowance for loan losses is a valuation allowance for probable incurred credit losses. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when Management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. Management estimates the allowance balance required using past loan loss experience, the nature and volume of the portfolio, information about specific borrower situations and estimated collateral values, economic conditions and other factors. Allocations of the allowance may be made for specific loans, but the entire allowance is available for any loan that, in Management’s judgment, should be charged off.

The allowance consists of specific and general components. The specific component of the allowance relates to loans that are individually classified as impaired.

A loan is impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Corporation will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Loans for which the terms have been modified resulting in a concession, and for which the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties, are considered troubled debt restructurings and are evaluated for impairment. Factors considered by Management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed.

All loans are individually evaluated for impairment when loans are classified as substandard by Management. If a loan is considered impaired, a portion of the allowance is allocated so that the loan is reported, net, at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s existing rate or at the fair value of collateral less estimated disposition costs if repayment is expected solely from the collateral. Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans, such as consumer and residential real estate loans, are collectively evaluated for impairment while they are performing assets. If and when a residential mortgage is placed on nonaccrual status and in the process of collection, such as through a foreclosure action, then they are evaluated for impairment on an individual basis and the loan is reported, net, at the fair value of the collateral less estimated disposition costs.

A troubled debt restructuring is a renegotiated loan with concessions made by the lender to a borrower who is experiencing financial difficulty. Troubled debt restructurings are separately identified for impairment and are measured at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s effective rate at inception. If a troubled debt restructuring is considered to be a collateral dependent loan, the loan is reported, net, at the fair value of the collateral, less estimated disposition costs. For troubled debt restructurings that subsequently default, the Corporation determines the amount of reserve in accordance with the accounting policy for the allowance for loan losses.

The general component of the allowance covers non-impaired loans and is based primarily on the Bank’s historical loss experience adjusted for current factors. The historical loss experience is determined by portfolio segment and is based on the actual loss history experienced by the Corporation on a weighted average basis over the previous two years. This actual loss experience is adjusted by other qualitative factors based on the risks present for each portfolio segment. These economic factors include consideration of the following: levels of and trends in delinquencies and impaired loans; levels of and trends in charge-offs and recoveries; trends in volume and terms of loans; effects of any changes in risk selection and underwriting standards; other changes in lending policies, procedures, and practices; experience, ability, and depth of lending management and other relevant staff; national and local economic trends and conditions; industry conditions; and effects of changes in credit concentrations.

In determining an appropriate amount for the allowance, the Bank segments and evaluates the loan portfolio based on Federal call report codes, which are based on collateral. The following portfolio classes have been identified:

a) Primary Residential Mortgage – represents all loans collaterized by the borrower’s primary residence. These are closed-end loans secured by 1-4 family residential properties that are secured by first liens. The Bank retains in its portfolio most conventional mortgage loans that have maturities of 15 years or less and generally sells most loans with maturities greater than 15 years. The Bank does not engage in sub-prime lending.

b)	Home Equity Lines of Credit – These are revolving, open-end loans secured by 1-4 family residential properties and extended under lines of credit.
c)	Junior Lien Loan on Residence – These are closed-end loans secured by 1-4 family residential properties that are secured by junior liens.
d)	Multifamily Property – These are loans secured by multifamily (5 or more) residential properties.
e)	Owner Occupied Commercial Real Estate – These are loans secured by owner-occupied nonfarm nonresidential properties.
f)	Investment Commercial Real Estate –These are loans secured by nonfarm nonresidential properties that are not owner-occupied.
g)	Commercial and Industrial – These are commercial and industrial loans not secured by real estate.
h)	Agricultural Production – These are loans to finance agricultural production and other loans to farmers.
i)	Commercial Construction – These are loans for construction, land development and other land loans.
j)	Consumer and Other – These are loans to individuals for household, family and other personal expenditures as well as obligations of states and political subdivisions in the U.S. This also represents all other loans that cannot be categorized in any of the previously mentioned loan segments.

Premises and Equipment: Land is carried at cost. Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation charges are computed using the straight-line method. Equipment and other fixed assets are depreciated over the estimated useful lives, which range from three to ten years. Premises are depreciated over the estimated useful life of 40 years, while leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the term of the lease. 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 (OREO): Other real estate owned is initially recorded at fair value, less costs to sell. When a property is acquired, the excess of the loan balance over the estimated fair value is charged to the allowance for loan losses. A valuation allowance is recorded through earnings for any subsequent decline in fair value and any gains or losses on the sale of properties are recorded through earnings. Operating costs after acquisition are expensed.

Bank Owned Life Insurance (BOLI): The Bank has purchased life insurance policies on certain key executives. BOLI is recorded at the amount that can be realized under the insurance contract at the balance sheet date, which is the cash surrender value adjusted for other charges or other amounts due that are probable at settlement.

Loan Commitments and Related Financial Instruments: Financial instruments include off-balance sheet credit instruments, such as commitments to make loans and commercial letters of credit, issued to meet customer financing needs. The face amount for these items represents the exposure to loss, before considering customer collateral or ability to repay. Such financial instruments are recorded when they are funded. Instruments, such as standby letters of credit, that are considered financial guarantees are recorded at fair value at inception.

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. Such tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effect of a change in tax rates in the period of enactment.

The Corporation recognizes a tax position as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded.

The Corporation is no longer subject to examination by the U.S. Federal tax authorities for years prior to 2008 or by New Jersey tax authorities for years prior to 2007.

The Corporation recognizes interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense.

Benefit Plans: The Corporation has a 401(K) profit-sharing and investment plan, which was last amended to enhance the contributions to its salaried employees starting in May 2008. The plan is more fully described in Note 12.

Stock-Based Compensation: Compensation cost is recognized for stock options and restricted stock awards issued to employees and non-employee directors, based on the fair value of these awards at the date of grant. A Black-Scholes model is utilized to estimate the fair value of stock options, while the market price of the Corporation’s common stock at the date of grant is used for restricted stock awards. Compensation expense is recognized over the required service period, generally defined as the vesting period. For awards with graded vesting, compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award. The stock options granted under these plans are exercisable at a price equal to the fair value of common stock on the date of grant and expire not more than ten years after the date of grant.

Earnings Per Share (“EPS”): In calculating earnings per share, there are no adjustments to net income available to common shareholders, which is the numerator of both the Basic and Diluted EPS. 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 options outstanding are common stock equivalents, as are restricted stock until vested. Earnings and dividends per share are restated for all stock splits and stock dividends through the date of issuance of the financial statements.

The following table shows the calculation of both Basic and Diluted earnings per share for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009:

(In Thousands Except Per Share Data)	2011		2010		2009
Net Income Available to Common Shareholders	$	10,940	$	5,978	$	5,633
Basic Weighted Average Shares Outstanding		8,741,209		8,784,655		8,715,419
Plus:  Common Stock Equivalents		1,061		366		50,838
Diluted Weighted Average Shares Outstanding		8,742,270		8,785,021		8,766,257
Earnings Per Share:
Basic	$	1.25	$	0.68	$	0.64
Diluted		1.25		0.68		0.64

Average shares of 657,121, 583,665 and 478,901 were not considered in computing diluted earnings per share for 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively, because they were antidilutive. These antidilutive shares include stock options, unvested restricted stock awards and the warrant issued to the U.S. Treasury for 150,296 common shares.

Loss Contingencies: Loss contingencies, including claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business, are recorded as liabilities when the likelihood of loss is probable and an amount or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. Management does not believe there are any such matters that will have a material effect on the financial statements.

Restrictions on Cash: Cash on hand or on deposit with the Federal Reserve Bank was required to meet regulatory reserve and clearing requirements.

Comprehensive Income: Comprehensive income consists of net income and the change during the period in the Corporation’s net unrealized gains or losses on securities available for sale, net of tax, less adjustments for realized gains and losses, net amortization of the unrealized loss on securities transferred to held to maturity from available for sale and accretion of the non-credit component on certain held to maturity securities with other-than-temporary impairment charges in previous periods. Total comprehensive income for the years ended 2011, 2010 and 2009 was $14.2 million, $7.6 million and $9.8 million, respectively.

Equity: Stock dividends in excess of 20 percent are reported by transferring the par value of the stock issued from retained earnings to common stock. Stock dividends for 20 percent or less are reported by transferring the fair value, as of the ex-dividend date, of the stock issued from retained earnings to common stock and additional paid-in capital. Fractional share amounts are paid in cash with a reduction in retained earnings. On June 18, 2009, a five percent stock dividend was declared. All prior share information has been restated for the stock dividend. Treasury stock is carried at cost.

Reclassification: Certain reclassifications have been made in the prior periods’ financial statements in order to conform to the 2011 presentation and had no effect on the consolidated income statements or shareholders’ equity.

New Accounting Policies: In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) amended existing guidance and eliminated the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in shareholders’ equity. The amendment requires that comprehensive income be presented in either a single continuous statement or in two separate consecutive statements. The amendments in this guidance are effective as of the beginning of the fiscal reporting year and interim periods within that year, beginning after December 15, 2011. The Corporation is currently evaluating the impact of this pronouncement on its financial statement presentation and disclosures.

REGULATORY CAPITAL

Regulatory Capital

REGULATORY CAPITAL

15. REGULATORY CAPITAL

The Corporation through the Bank is 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. If adequately capitalized, regulatory approval is required to accept brokered deposits. If undercapitalized, capital distributions are limited, as is asset growth and expansion, and capital restoration plans are required.

Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank’s assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The 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 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). At year-end 2011 and 2010, the Bank maintained capital levels which met or exceeded the levels required to be considered well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. There are no conditions or events since that notification that Management believes have changed the institution’s category.

To be categorized as well capitalized, the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier I risk-based and Tier I leverage ratios as set forth in the table.

The Bank’s actual capital amounts and ratios are presented in the following table.

As fully described in Footnote 18, Subsequent Events, the Corporation redeemed the remaining portion of the preferred shares issued under the Treasury’s Capital Purchase Program, repaying $14.5 million on January 11, 2012. In association with this repayment, the Bank paid a $14.5 million dividend to the Corporation on January 10, 2012. The dividend was specifically approved by the Bank’s primary regulator.

Taxes are allocated to each segment based on the effective rate for the period shown.

Banking

The Banking segment includes commercial, commercial real estate, residential and consumer lending activities; deposit generation; operation of ATMs; telephone and internet banking services; merchant credit card services and customer support and sales.

PGB Trust & Investments

PGB Trust & Investments includes asset management services provided for individuals and institutions; personal trust services, including services as executor, trustee, administrator, custodian and guardian, corporate trust services including services as trustee for pension and profit sharing plans; and other financial planning and advisory services.

Capital Leases		62			—
Valuation Allowance-Other-Than-Temporary Impairment State Tax		(12	)		(3,260	)
Total Gross Deferred Tax Assets	$	31,864		$	29,243

Deferred Tax Liabilities:
Bank Premises and Equipment, Principally Due to Difference in Depreciation	$	1,843	$	1,474
Unrealized Gain on Securities Available for Sale		1,931		661
Deferred Loan Origination Costs and Fees		1,090		835
Deferred Income		130		404
Nonmonetary Gain		97		97
Investment Securities, Principally due to the Accretion of Bond Discount		42		47
Total Gross Deferred Tax Liabilities		5,133		3,518
Net Deferred Tax Asset	$	26,731	$	25,725

The net deferred asset includes the tax effect of $4.7 million of New Jersey net operating loss carryforwards that expire from 2012 through 2029.

During 2008, the Corporation recorded a $56.1 million other-than-temporary impairment on its trust preferred pooled securities. The impairment was recorded at the Bank level and resulted in a deferred state tax benefit of approximately $3.3 million. At December 31, 2008, the Corporation concluded that it was more likely than not that it would not realize this state tax benefit before the expiration of the net operating loss carryforward period and recorded a full valuation allowance against the state tax benefit. At the time, the analysis was based on numerous factors, including the State of New Jersey tax statutes, the ongoing performance and related forecasts of the Corporation and the Bank and the status of the economy and its impact on the forecasts.

The Corporation concluded, during the third quarter of 2011, that it was more likely than not that the 2008 state tax benefit was realizable and as such reversed the full valuation allowance, which resulted in an income tax benefit recognized in the third quarter of $3.0 million. The determination was based on the trends in state taxable income of the Bank and the five-year earnings forecast that was completed during the third quarter of 2011.

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.

Credit Quality Indicators:

The Corporation categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors. The Corporation analyzes loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk. The risk rating analysis of loans is performed (i) when the loan is initially underwritten, (ii) annually for loans in excess of $500,000, (iii) on a random quarterly basis from either internal reviews with the Senior Credit Officer or externally through an independent loan review firm, or (iv) whenever Management otherwise identifies a potentially negative trend or issue relating to a borrower. The Corporation uses the following definitions for risk ratings:

Special Mention: Loans subject to special mention have a potential weakness that deserves Management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loans or of the institution’s credit position at some future date.

Substandard: Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful: Loans classified as doubtful have all the weakness inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.

The Corporation considers the performance of the loan portfolio and its impact on the allowance for loan losses. For residential and consumer loans, the Corporation evaluated credit quality primarily based on the aging status of the loan, which was previously presented.

Loans not meeting the criteria above that are analyzed individually as part of the above described process are considered to be pass rated loans. As of December 31, 2011, and based on the most recent analysis performed, the risk category of loans by class of loans is as follows:

At December 31, 2011, $26.2 million of the $49.1 million of the substandard loans were also considered impaired as compared to December 31, 2010, when $28.4 million of the $41.9 million of the substandard loans were also considered impaired.

The Corporation considers the performance of the loan portfolio and its impact on the allowance for loan losses. For residential and consumer loans, the Corporation also evaluated credit quality based on the aging status of the loan, which was previously presented.

Troubled Debt Restructurings:

The Corporation has allocated $707 thousand and $324 thousand of specific reserves to customers whose loan terms have been modified in troubled debt restructurings as of December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. There were no unfunded commitments to lend additional amounts to customers with outstanding loans that are classified as troubled debt restructurings.

During the period ended December 31, 2011, the terms of certain loans were modified as troubled debt restructurings. The modification of the terms of such loans included one or a combination of the following: a reduction of the stated interest rate of the loan; an extension of the maturity date at a stated rate of interest lower that the current market rate for new debt with similar risk; or a permanent reduction of the recorded investment in the loan.

The following table presents loans by class modified as troubled debt restructurings that occurred during the year ended December 31, 2011:

			Pre-Modification		Post-Modification
			Outstanding		Outstanding
	Number of		Recorded		Recorded

Investment Commercial Real Estate		1		4,949		4,949
Total		5	$	6,771	$	6,771

The residential mortgages were modified by extending the maturities longer than six months. Both of the commercial real estate loans were modified to an interest only basis pending the sale of the underlying collateral. The Bank did not forgive any principal or interest on any of these loans and expects to collect the full amount that is contractually owed.

The following table presents loans by class modified as troubled debt restructurings on accrual as of December 31, 2011:

There are five loans totaling $3.8 million that have been categorized as troubled debt restructurings that are also included in loans that are on nonaccrual. Three of these loans consist of owner-occupied commercial real estate and total $3.3 million. One is a residential first mortgage totaling $198 thousand and one is a commercial mortgage totaling $299 thousand on a mixed use investment property.

The following table presents loans by class modified as troubled debt restructurings during the year ended December 31, 2011 for which there was a payment default during the same period:

Troubled Debt Restructurings That	Number of		Recorded
Subsequently Defaulted	Contracts		Investment
Owner-Occupied Commercial Real Estate		1	$	412
Total		1	$	412

The terms of certain other loans were modified during the period ending December 31, 2011 that did not meet the definition of a troubled debt restructuring. These are loans that are still on the books and have a total recorded investment as December 31, 2011 of $2.7 million. The modification of these loans involved either a modification of the terms of a loan to borrowers who were not experiencing financial difficulties or a delay in a payment that was considered to be insignificant.

In order to determine whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, an evaluation is performed of the probability that the borrower will be in payment default on any of its debt in the foreseeable future without the modification. This evaluation is performed under the Corporation’s internal underwriting policy.

PREFERRED STOCK

16. PREFERRED STOCK

On January 9, 2009, as part of the U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury”) Troubled Asset Relief Program (“TARP”) Capital Purchase Program, the Corporation sold 28,685 shares of the Corporation’s Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A, having a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share, and a ten-year warrant to purchase up to 150,296 shares of the Corporation’s common stock, no par value at an exercise price of $28.63 per share, after adjusting for the five percent stock dividend declared on June 18, 2009, for an aggregate purchase price of $28.7 million in cash, allocated $1.6 million to warrants and $27.1 million to preferred stock.

Cumulative dividends on the preferred shares accrue on the liquidation preference at a rate of 5 percent per annum for the first five years, and at a rate of 9 percent per annum thereafter. Subject to the approval of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the preferred shares are redeemable at the option of the Corporation at 100 percent of their liquidation preference. If the Corporation redeems the preferred shares and the Treasury still owns the warrant, the Corporation could repurchase the warrant from the Treasury for its fair market value. Unless both the holder and the Corporation agree otherwise, the exercise of the warrant will be a net exercise (i.e., the holder does not pay cash but gives up shares with a market value at the time of exercise equal to the exercise price, resulting in a net settlement with significantly fewer than the 150,296 shares of common stock being issued).

The Securities Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which the preferred shares and the warrant were sold, contains limitations on the payment of dividends on the common stock, including with respect to the payment of quarterly cash dividends in excess of $0.16 per share, which was the amount of the last regular dividend declared by the Corporation prior to October 14, 2008 and on the Corporation’s ability to repurchase its Common Stock. The Corporation is also subject to certain executive compensation limitations included in the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (the “EESA”).

On January 6, 2010 and March 2, 2011, the Corporation redeemed 25 percent of the preferred shares issued under the Treasury’s CPP, each time repaying approximately $7.2 million to the Treasury, including accrued and unpaid dividends of approximately $51 thousand and $17 thousand, respectively. As a result of the repurchase, the accretion related to the preferred stock was accelerated and approximately $330 thousand and $246 thousand was recorded as a reduction to retained earnings in the first quarters of 2010 and 2011, respectively. The Corporation’s redemption of the shares was not subject to additional conditions or stipulations from the Treasury.

SAVINGS AND PROFIT SHARING PLANS:

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 plan, the Corporation contributes three percent of salary for each employee regardless of the employees’ contributions as well as partially matching employee contributions. In addition, the Corporation is contributing an enhanced benefit to employees who were previously in the defined benefit plan, which was discontinued in 2008. In 2011 and 2010, the enhanced benefit was approximately $830 thousand and $801 thousand, respectively. Expense for the savings plan totaled approximately $2.0 million, $1.7 million and $1.8 million in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Contributions to the profit sharing plan are made at the discretion of the Board of Directors and all funds are invested solely in Peapack-Gladstone Corporation common stock. The aggregate contribution to the profit sharing plan was $100 thousand in each of 2011, 2010 and 2009.

Fair Value

FAIR VALUE

9. FAIR VALUE

Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair values:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.

Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a company’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

The Corporation used the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate the fair value:

Investment Securities: The fair values for investment securities are determined by quoted market prices, if available (Level 1). For securities where quoted prices are not available, fair values are calculated based on market prices of similar securities (Level 2). For securities where quoted prices or market prices of similar securities are not available, fair values are calculated using discounted cash flows or other market indicators (Level 3). Discounted cash flows are calculated using spread to swap and LIBOR curves that are updated to incorporate loss severities, volatility, credit spread and optionality. During times when trading is more liquid, broker quotes are used, if available, to validate the model. Rating agency and industry research reports as well as defaults and deferrals on individual securities are reviewed and incorporated into the calculations. There were no transfers of securities between Level 1 and Level 2 during 2011.

Impaired Loans: The fair value of impaired loans with specific allocations of the allowance for loan losses is generally based on recent real estate appraisals, less cost to sell. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are usually significant and typically result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value.

Other Real Estate Owned: Nonrecurring adjustments to certain commercial and residential real estate properties classified as other real estate owned (OREO) are measured at fair value, less costs to sell. Fair values are based on recent real estate appraisals. These appraisals may use a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are usually significant and typically result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value.

Impaired loans that are measured for impairment using the fair value of the collateral for collateral dependent loans, had a recorded investment of $4.6 million, with a valuation allowance of $1.3 million at December 31, 2011. Impaired loans that are measured for impairment using the fair value of the collateral for collateral dependent loans, had a recorded investment of $16.3 million, with a valuation allowance of $2.5 million at December 31, 2010.

At December 31, 2011 other real estate owned, at fair value, consisted of one property with a gross investment of $3.0 million and a valuation allowance of $865 thousand.

Accrued Interest Payable		460		460		716		716

The methods and assumptions, not previously presented, used to estimate fair value are described as follows:

The carrying amount is the estimated fair value for cash and cash equivalents, interest-earning deposits, accrued interest receivable and payable, demand deposits, short-term debt, and variable-rate loans or deposits that reprice frequently and fully. For fixed-rate loans or deposits and for variable-rate loans or deposits with infrequent repricing or repricing limits, fair value is based on discounted cash flows using current market rates applied to the estimated life and credit risk, including consideration of credit spreads. Fair value of debt is based on current rates for similar financing. It was not practicable to determine the fair value of FHLB or FRB stock due to restrictions placed on its transferability. The fair value of off-balance sheet items is not considered material or is based on the current fees or cost that would be charged to enter into or terminate such arrangements.

14. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

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 mostly variable-rate loan commitments of $104.4 million and $108.7 million at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, which are not included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. These commitments include unused commercial and home equity lines of credit.

The Corporation issues financial standby letters of credit that 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 relations 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 $3.6 million and $7.5 million at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The fair value of the Corporation’s liability for financial standby letters of credit was insignificant at December 31, 2011.

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, 2011, the Corporation was obligated under non-cancelable operating leases for certain premises. Rental expense aggregated $2.4 million, $2.6 million and $2.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, 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 operating lease agreements, as of December 31, 2011, were as follows:

Management believes that the unrealized losses on investment securities available for sale are temporary and due to interest rate fluctuations and/or volatile market conditions rather than the creditworthiness of the issuers. The Corporation does not intend to sell these securities nor is it likely that it will be required to sell the securities before their anticipated recovery.

At December 31, 2011, the unrealized loss of $832 thousand on Other Securities is related to a security issued by a large bank holding company that has experienced declines in all its securities due to the turmoil in the financial markets and a merger. The security is a single-issuer trust preferred security. It was downgraded to below investment grade by Moody’s and is currently rated Ba1. Management monitors the performance of the issuer on a quarterly basis to determine if there are any credit events that could result in deferral or default of the security. In spite of the credit downgrade, the fair value of this security at December 31, 2011, is higher than the fair value at December 31, 2010. Management believes the depressed valuation is a result of the nature of the security (trust preferred bond) and the bond’s very low yield. At December 31, 2011, Management does not intend to sell the security nor is it likely that it will be required to sell the security before its anticipated recovery.

No other-than-temporary impairment charges were recognized in 2011; however, in 2010, the Corporation recognized a noncash charge of $360 thousand related to an other-than-temporary impairment charge for seven equity securities with a cost of $1.1 million. No other-than-temporary impairment charges were recognized in 2009.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Stock-Based Compensation

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

13. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Corporation’s 2002 Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan (as amended) and 2006 Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan allow the granting of shares of the Corporation’s common stock as incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, restricted stock awards and stock appreciation rights to directors, officers, employees and independent contractors of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries. The total number initially available to grant in active plans was 775,740 shares. There are no shares remaining for issuance with respect to stock option plans approved in 1995 and 1998; however, options granted under those plans are still included in the numbers below. At December 31, 2011, there were 187,977 additional shares available for grant under the unexpired plans.

Options granted under the long-term stock incentive 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. Stock options may vest during a period of up to five years after the date of grant. Some options granted to officers at or above the senior vice president level were immediately exercisable at the date of grant. The Corporation has a policy of using new shares to satisfy option exercises.

Changes in options outstanding during 2011 were as follows:

						Weighted
				Weighted		Average		Aggregate
				Average		Remaining		Intrinsic
	Number of			Exercise		Contractual		Value (In
	Options			Price		Term		Thousands)
Balance, January 1, 2011		578,763		$	23.75
Granted During 2011		71,200			13.03
Expired During 2011		(67,901	)		15.55
Forfeited During 2011		(4,280	)		15.53
Balance, December 31, 2011		577,782		$	23.45		4.44 years	$	—
Vested and Expected to Vest (1)		550,674		$	23.83		4.44 years	$	—
Exercisable at December 31, 2011		418,321		$	26.37		3.08 years	$	—

(1) The difference between the shares which are exercisable (fully vested) and those which are expected to vest is due to anticipated forfeitures.

The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the total pre-tax intrinsic value (the difference between the Corporation’s closing stock price on the last trading day of 2011 and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of in-the-money options). The Corporation’s closing stock price on December 31, 2011 was $10.75; therefore, there was less than $1 thousand intrinsic value in the stock options outstanding at that date.

There were no options exercised during 2011 and 2010. The aggregate intrinsic value of options exercised during 2009 was $230 thousand.

The per share weighted-average fair value of stock options granted during 2011, 2010 and 2009 was $3.88, $8.31 and $7.33, respectively, on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:

	2011			2010			2009
Dividend Yield		1.60	%		1.30	%		2.05	%
Expected Volatility		32	%		72	%		50	%
Expected Life		7 Years			7 Years			7 Years
Risk-Free Interest Rate		2.08	%		2.91	%		2.57	%

For 2011, 2010 and 2009, the expected life of the option is the typical holding period of the Corporation’s options before being exercised by the optionee. The risk-free interest rate is the rate on a seven-year treasury bond for 2011, 2010 and 2009. The volatility is the performance the stock has experienced in the last five years.

As of December 31, 2011, there was approximately $640 thousand of unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the Corporation’s stock incentive plans. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.4 years.

The Corporation issued 28,732 and 55,993 restricted stock awards in 2011 and 2010, respectively, at a fair value equal to the market price of the Corporation’s common stock at the date of grant. The awards vest 40 percent after two years and 20 percent each year after until fully vesting on the fifth anniversary of the grant date. There were no forfeitures or vesting of restricted stock awards during 2011. As of December 31, 2011, there was $733 thousand of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested shares,which is expected to vest over 1.6 years.

Changes in nonvested shares for 2011 were as follows:

			Weighted
			Average
	Number of		Grant Date
	Shares		Fair Value
Balance, January 1, 2011		55,993	$	13.43
Granted During 2011		28,732		13.53
Vested During 2011		—		—
Balance, December 31, 2011		84,725	$	13.46
