PFS looks good. Here's my take. ROA (.80-1.02%), ROE (8.37-10.24%), Efficency Ratio (61.59-70.18%), NPA/A (.15-.37%) and asset size ($3.7B) all look good. CEO is buying 500,000 shares and 2 EVPs are each buying 350,000 shares. Book looks to be about $13.77 as of 12-31-02 based on the following rough analysis:

$13.77/SH PRO FORMA BOOK VALUE

I see PFS trading at $13 to $14 on day one. The P/E will be in the 20s at this valuation. However, I think book will rule since the bank is located in a hot area. Prospectus states average Peer Group trades at about 148% P/B and 15.77 P/E.

At 125% to 148% P/B the price range would be $17 to $20. I would not be surprised to this price level in the next 12 to 24 months.

I see PFS trading at $13 to $14 on day one. The P/E will be in the 20s at this valuation. However, I think book will rule since the bank is located in a great location. Prospectus states average Peer Group trades at about 148% P/B and 15.77 P/E.

At 125% to 148% P/B the price range would be $17 to $20. I would not be surprised to see this price level or higher in the next 12 to 24 months.

$13.77/SH PRO FORMA BOOK VALUE

I see PFS trading at $13 to $14 on day one. The P/E will be in the 20s at this valuation. However, I think book will rule since New Jersey is a great bank location. Prospectus states average Peer Group trades at about 148% P/B and 15.77 P/E.

At 125% to 148% P/B the price range would be $17 to $20. I would not be surprised to see this price level or higher in the next 12 to 24 months.
