NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 1. Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Pursuant to such rules and regulations certain information or footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial condition, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and schedules thereto included in the annual report on Form 10-K of Interchange Financial Services Corporation (the "Company") for the year ended December 31, 1997. The consolidated financial data for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, are unaudited but reflect all adjustments consisting of only normal recurring adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial condition and results of operations for the interim periods. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for any other period or the full year. Effective May 31, 1998, the Company acquired The Jersey Bank for Savings ("Jersey"). The acquisition has been accounted for under the pooling-of-interests method of accounting, accordingly, the financial statements have been retroactively restated to include the consolidated accounts of Jersey for all periods presented. The transaction resulted in the issuance of 780,198 shares of the Company's common stock. 1. Earnings Per Common Share Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings per common share is similar to the computation of basic earnings per common share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the dilutive potential common shares had been issued. 3. Legal Proceedings The Company is a party to routine litigation involving various aspects of its business, none of which, in the opinion of management and its legal counsel, is expected to have a material adverse impact on the consolidated financial condition, results of operations or liquidity of the Company. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following discussion is an analysis of the consolidated financial condition and results of operations of the Company for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Item 1 hereof. The Company issued a 3 for 2 stock split on April 17, 1998 to shareholders of record on March 20, 1998. All per share and share data have been retroactively restated to include the effects of the split for all periods presented. Effective May 31, 1998, the Company acquired The Jersey Bank for Savings ("Jersey"). The acquisition has been accounted for under the pooling of interests method of accounting, accordingly the financial statements have been retroactively restated to include the consolidated accounts of Jersey for all periods presented. THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 AND SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 Earnings Summary Net income for the three months ended September 30, 1998, was $2.5 million or $.35 diluted earnings per common share, as compared to $1.9 million or $.27 diluted earnings per common share for the same period a year ago. Growth in net interest income and noninterest income as well as a decline in noninterest expenses was principally responsible for the improvement in earnings. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Net Interest Income Net interest income is the most significant source of the Company's operating income. Net interest income on a tax equivalent basis increased $670 thousand or 9.9% to $7.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 1998 as compared to the same quarter in 1997. The increase in net interest income is principally due to higher levels of interest earning assets and increased loan production. The loan growth was funded largely by the growth in deposit liabilities. Average earning assets increased $71.1 million or 12.6% to $636.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 1998, over the same period in 1997. The growth was mainly the result of an increase in loan volume, particularly, commercial mortgages, home equity loans and 1-4 family residential mortgages. For the third quarter of 1998, average loans increased $61.7 million or 15.1% over the same period in 1997. The average yield on loans was negatively impacted by a decline in market rates and increased competitive factors and decreased 33 basis points for the quarter ended September 30, 1998, as compared to the same period a year ago. However, the increased loan volume contributed to a $1.0 million growth in loan interest income that offset the decline in yield. The growth in loan interest income was instrumental to the growth in net interest income. For the quarter ended September 30, 1998, average interest bearing deposits grew $39.1 million or 8.9% and noninterest bearing demand deposits grew $13.3 million or 16.1%. The total growth in average deposits amounted to 10.0%. Despite the strong growth in interest bearing deposits, the Company's annualized cost of deposits decreased 9 basis points over the third quarter of 1997. Noninterest Income For the quarter ended September 30, 1998, noninterest income amounted to $1.0 million, an increase of $240 thousand as compared to the same period in 1997. The increase was largely the result of a $95 thousand increase in service charges on deposits. The higher levels of service charges on deposits can be attributed to a comprehensive review of the sources of fee income employed by the Company and the growth in the deposit base. A gain of $94 thousand from the sale of equity securities also contributed to the increase in noninterest income. Noninterest Expenses For the quarter ended September 30, 1998, noninterest expenses amounted to $4.3 million, a decrease of approximately $79 thousand as compared to the same period in 1997. The decrease was principally due to a $186 thousand decline in other noninterest expenses. The decrease in other noninterest expenses, includes but is not limited to, a $96,000 decline in legal costs. In addition, the Company exceeded cost savings expectations with respect to the merger with Jersey Bank for Savings, which further contributed to the decrease in noninterest expenses. The decline in noninterest expenses was partially offset by a $92 thousand increase in occupancy and equipment costs due mainly to an increase in depreciation expense resulting from the installation of a new mainframe computer and the renovation of a branch during the first six months of 1998. One of the Company's goals is to control expenses in order to maximize earnings and shareholder value. Generally, the efficiency ratio is one method utilized to measure a bank's operating expenses. The efficiency ratio is gross operating expenses, excluding the amortization of intangibles, the merger related expenses and net expenses of foreclosed real estate, expressed as a percentage of net interest income (on a fully taxable equivalent basis) and other noninterest income, excluding gains. Generally, the lower the efficiency ratio the more effective the Company is in utilizing its resources to produce income. The Company's efficiency ratio for the quarter ended September 30, 1998, was 50.5% as compared to 56.7% for the same period in 1997. The improvement was mostly attributable to the growth in net interest income and noninterest income and a decline in noninterest expenses. The national peer group average (published by SNL Securities) for the year 1997 was 60.4%. Income Taxes Income tax expense as a percentage of pre-tax income was 35.1% for the quarter ended September 30, 1998, the same as the third quarter of 1997. NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 AND SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 Earnings Summary Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 1998, was $6.0 million or $.82 diluted earnings per common share, as compared to $6.1 million or $.84 diluted earnings per common share for the same period a year ago. If the Jersey nonrecurring merger related charge of $898 thousand, net of tax were excluded, the Company would have reported net income of $6.9 million, an increase of $789 thousand or 13.0% from the prior comparable period. Diluted earnings per common share, excluding the merger related charge, were $.95, an increase of 13.1% over the prior comparable period. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Net Interest Income Net interest income on a tax equivalent basis increased $1.9 million to $21.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 as compared to the same period of 1997. The increase in net interest income is principally due to higher levels of interest earning assets and increased loan production. The loan growth was funded largely by the growth in deposit liabilities. Average earning assets increased $73.2 million or 13.3% to $625.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1998, over the same period in 1997. The growth was mainly the result of an increase in loan volume, particularly, commercial mortgage loans, home equity loans and consumer auto leases. For the first nine months of 1998, average loans increased $62.1 million or 15.7% over the same period in 1997. The average yield on loans was negatively impacted by a decline in market rates and increased competitive factors and decreased 30 basis points for the nine months ended September 30, 1998, as compared to the same period a year ago. However, the increased loan volume contributed to a $3.1 million growth in loan income that offset the decline in yield. The growth in loan income was instrumental to the growth in net interest income. For the nine months ended September 30, 1998, average interest bearing deposits grew $41.7 million or 9.7% and noninterest bearing demand deposits grew $13.7 million or 17.4%. The total growth in average deposits amounted to 10.9%. Despite the strong growth in interest bearing deposits, the Company's annualized cost of deposits decreased 4 basis points as compared to the first nine months of 1997. Noninterest Income For the nine months ended September 30, 1998, noninterest income amounted to $2.9 million, a decrease of $1.1 million from the same period in 1997. The decrease was principally due to the recognition of gains during the first half of 1997 of $1.1 million from the sale of commercial loans and of $775 thousand from the payoff of a commercial loan that was acquired at a discount. Adjusting for these significant nonrecurring items, noninterest income effectively increased $732 thousand. The increase was largely the result of a $424 thousand increase in service charges on deposits. The higher levels of service charges on deposits can be attributed to a comprehensive review of the source of fee income employed by the Company and the growth in the deposit base. A gain of $94 thousand from the sale of equity securities and a gain of $53 thousand from the sale of reverse mortgage servicing also contributed to the effective increase in noninterest income. Noninterest Expenses For the nine months ended September 30, 1998, noninterest expenses amounted to $14.7 million, an increase of $1.6 million as compared to the same period in 1997. The predominant factor for the increase was the one time merger related charges of $1.4 million resulting from the merger with The Jersey Bank for Savings. Excluding the one time merger related charges noninterest expenses increased $201 thousand or 1.5% over the same period in 1997. Salaries and benefits expense, which increased $308 thousand or 4.6% contributed mostly to the increase. The increase was mostly due to normal salary raises and promotions. At September 30, 1998 and 1997, full-time equivalent staff was 199. Occupancy and equipment costs that increased $247 thousand from the same period in 1997 were also partly responsible for the increase. The increase in occupancy and equipment costs was mostly due an increase in depreciation expense resulting from the installation of a new mainframe computer, the addition of new equipment and the renovation of a branch during the first six months of 1998. The recognition of approximately $355 thousand from the cash surrender value of the directors' life insurance policies, which reduced other noninterest expenses, partly offset the increases in salaries and benefits and in occupancy and equipment expenses. The Company's efficiency ratio for the nine months ended September 30, 1998, was 53.04% as compared to 58.11% for the same period in 1997. The improvement was mostly attributable to the growth in net interest income and noninterest income in conjunction with a moderate growth in noninterest expenses. The national peer group average (published by SNL Securities) for the year 1997 was 60.4%. Income Taxes Income tax expense as a percentage of pre-tax income was 35.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 as compared to 35.1% for the same period in 1997. The increase is attributable to an increase in the effective state income tax rate. FINANCIAL CONDITION At September 30, 1998, the Company's total assets increased $23.5 million or 3.8% to $648.5 million from $625.1 million at December 31, 1997. At September 30, 1998, cash and cash equivalents decreased $22.3 million as compared to December 31, 1997. This is principally the result of financing activities (reflecting principally repayments of borrowings) and investing activities (funding loans and investment growth) utilizing cash more rapidly than the operating activities (reflecting net income and changes in other assets) can provide it. This can be seen more completely on the accompanying Statements of Cash Flows. Securities Securities held to maturity and securities available for sale consist of the following: (in thousands)

At September 30, 1998, total deposits increased $23.0 million or 4.3% to $563.8 million from $540.8 million at December 31, 1997. The growth was principally in money market deposit accounts and interest bearing demand deposits, which grew $17.1 million and $9.7 million, respectively. Time deposits grew $3.1 million and represent 30.4% of all deposits at September 30, 1998, as compared to 31.1% at December 31, 1997. Nonperforming Assets Nonperforming assets are comprised of nonaccrual loans, restructured loans and foreclosed real estate. At September 30, 1998, nonperforming assets amounted to $1.8 million, a decrease of $1.0 million from $2.8 million at September 30, 1997. The sale of $409 thousand of nonperforming loans comprised part of the decrease. The ratio of nonperforming assets to total loans and foreclosed real estate decreased to 0.37% at September 30, 1998 from 0.67% at September 30, 1997. At September 30, 1998, nonperforming assets decreased $337 thousand from $2.1 million at December 31, 1997. For the third quarter of 1998, the ratio of nonperforming assets to total loans and foreclosed real estate decreased 11 basis points from 0.48% at December 31, 1997. Provision for Loan Losses and Loan Loss Experience The provision for loan losses represents management's determination of the amount necessary to bring the allowance for loan losses to a level that management considers adequate to reflect the risk of future losses inherent in the Company's loan portfolio. In its evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, management considers past loan loss experience, changes in the composition of performing and nonperforming loans, the condition of borrowers facing financial pressure, the relationship of the current level of the allowance to the credit portfolio and to nonperforming loans and existing economic conditions. However, the process of determining the adequacy of the allowance is necessarily judgmental and subject to changes in external conditions. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that existing levels of the allowance will ultimately prove adequate to cover actual loan losses. The allowance for loan losses was $5.5 million at September 30, 1998, and $5.2 million at December 31, 1997, representing 313.9% and 250.7% of nonperforming loans at those dates, respectively. In the third quarter of 1998, the Company's provision for loan losses was $210 thousand, the same as the amount provided in the third quarter of 1997. Capital Adequacy The Company's and the Bank's capital amounts and ratios are as follows: (dollars in thousands)

Liquidity Liquidity is the ability to provide sufficient resources to meet all financial obligations and finance prospective business opportunities. Liquidity levels over any given period of time are a product of the Company's operating, financing and investing activities. The extent of such activities is often shaped by such external factors as competition for deposits and demand for loans. Financing for the Company's loans and investments is derived primarily from deposits, along with interest and principal payments on loans and investments. At September 30, 1998, total deposits amounted to $563.8 million, an increase of $23.0 million or 4.3% from December 31, 1997. In addition, the Company supplemented the more traditional funding sources with borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York ("FHLB") and with securities sold under agreements to repurchase ("REPOS"). At September 30, 1998, advances from the FHLB and REPOS amounted to $10.4 million and $9.3 million, respectively, as compared to $9.9 million and $13.0 million, respectively, at December 31, 1997. In the third quarter of 1998, loan production continued to be the Company's principal investing activity. Net loans at September 30, 1998 amounted to $470.3 million, compared to $433.0 million at the end of 1997, an increase of $37.3 million or 8.6%. The Company's most liquid assets are cash and cash equivalents and federal funds sold. At September 30, 1998, the total of such assets amounted to $14.3 million or 2.2% of total assets, compared to $36.6 million or 5.9% of total assets at year-end 1997. Another significant liquidity source is the Company's available-for-sale ("AFS") securities. At September 30, 1998, AFS securities amounted to $86.4 million or 59.2% of total securities, compared to $75.6 million or 55.6% of total securities at year-end 1997. In addition to the aforementioned sources of liquidity, the Company has available various other sources of liquidity, including federal funds purchased from other banks and the Federal Reserve discount window. The Bank also has a $57.7 million line of credit available through its membership in the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York. Management believes that the Company's sources of funds are sufficient to meet its funding requirements. Forward Looking Statements We discuss certain matters in this report which are not historical facts, but which are "forward looking statements." These "forward looking statements" include, but are not limited to, estimates of capital expenditures, costs of remediation and testing, the timetable for implementing the remediation and testing phases of Year 2000 planning, the possible impact of third parties' Year 2000 issues on the Company, management's assessment of contingencies and possible scenarios in its Year 2000 planning. The "forward looking statements" in this report reflect what we currently anticipate will happen in each case. What actually happens could differ materially from what we currently anticipate will happen. We are not promising to make any public announcement when we think "forward looking statements" in this document are no longer accurate, whether as a result of new information, what actually happens in the future or for any other reason. Preparation for the Year 2000 The issue surrounding many of the world's computers is principally that years are currently recorded in a two-digit format. If not corrected, this problem will render such computers incapable of interpreting dates beyond the year 1999, which could disrupt business. Hereinafter, this issue will collectively be referred to as the "Year 2000 issue". A company's exposure to uncertainties and costs associated with the Year 2000 issue depends on a number of factors, including software, hardware, the industry in which it operates, and other entities with which it electronically interacts. The Company has adopted a Year 2000 Compliance Plan (the "Plan") and has established a Year 2000 Compliance Committee (the "Committee"). The objectives of the Plan and the Committee are to address the Year 2000 issues and prepare the Company for the new millennium. As recommended by the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council, the Plan encompasses the following phases: Awareness, Assessment, Renovation, Validation and Implementation. These phases will enable the Company to identify risks, develop an action plan, and perform adequate testing and complete certification that its processing systems will be Year 2000 ready. In the Awareness phase, the Company defined the Year 2000 issues, informed management and staff and obtained executive level support and funding. In addition, the Company compiled a comprehensive list of items that may be affected by the Year 2000 compliance issues. Such items include facilities and related non-information technology systems (embedded technology), computer systems, hardware, and services and products provided by third parties. In the Assessment phase, the Company evaluated the items identified in the Awareness phase to assess whether the items will function properly with the century date change. The items were ranked in the order that they will need to be remediated based on their mission critical nature and the potential impact to the Company. The Renovation phase includes an analysis of the items that are affected by Year 2000, the identification of problem areas and the repair of non-compliant items. As of September 30, 1998, the Company has completed the Awareness, Assessment and Renovation phases; however, more Renovation type processes may be required depending upon the outcome of the Validation and Implementation phases. The Validation phase will include a thorough testing and verification of systems, databases and utilities, including present and forward date testing which includes simulating data conditions in the Year 2000. The Implementation phase will consist of placing all the systems, databases and utilities that have been renovated into production. As of September 30, 1998, the Company has conducted and continues to conduct procedures associated with the Renovation, Validation and Implementation phases. The Company expects to complete the Validation (testing) phase with respect to its mission critical applications by March 31, 1999, and the Implementation phase completed by the second quarter of 1999. The Company has begun and continues to survey and communicate with counterparties, intermediaries and vendors ("Third Parties") with whom it has important financial and operational relationships to determine the extent to which they are vulnerable to Year 2000 issues. As of September 30, 1998, the Company has received sufficient information from its Third Parties to conclude that they are in the Renovation, Validation and Implementation phases of their respective plans. However, as of September 30, 1998, the Company has not yet received conclusive information from all Third Parties related to the Renovation, Validation and Implementation phases to predict the outcome of their efforts. There are many risks associated with the Year 2000 issue, including the failure of the Company's computer and non-financial technology systems. Such failures could have a material adverse effect on the Company and may cause system malfunctions, incorrect or incomplete transaction processing resulting in the inability to reconcile accounting books and records. In addition, even if the Company successfully remediates its Year 2000 issues, it can be adversely affected by failures of Third Parties with which the Company has financial or operational relationships to remediate their own Year 2000 issues. The failure of Third Parties to remediate their Year 2000 issues in a timely manner could result in a material financial risk to the Company. Such risks include business interruption or shutdown, financial loss, regulatory actions and legal liability. The Company is planning to develop a Year 2000 specific contingency plan as part of its overall Year 2000 plan in an effort to mitigate Year 2000 risk. Based on current information, the Company does not anticipate that the overall costs related to the implementation of the Year 2000 plan to be material in any single year. The Company estimates that the total external cost of implementing its Year 2000 plan will amount to approximately $170 thousand. The Year 2000 costs include all activities undertaken on Year 2000 related matters, including, but not limited to, renovation, validation (testing), third party review and contingency planning. However, costs for compensation and benefits of the Company's internal employees have not yet been determined. Through the third quarter of 1998, the Company has expended approximately $13 thousand on the Year 2000 project. All Year 2000 costs are expensed in the period incurred.
