    The Town Bank Reports 1st Quarter Financial Results

    Total Assets and Net Income Increase

    For Immediate Release

    WESTFIELD, N.J./EWORLDWIRE/April 22, 2005 --- To Our Shareholders:

    We are pleased to report that The Town Bank has marked another quarter of record performance fueled by continued deposit and loan activity. We continue to strengthen our position as a community based provider of financial products, backed by superior customer service and personal attention.

    For the three months ended March 31, 2005, net income increased to $515,000 or $0.27 per basic share and 0.26 per diluted share, compared to net income of $270,000 or $0.15 per basic share and $0.14 per diluted share recorded one year ago. This improvement is largely attributed to a higher level of net interest income. This increase in net interest income is the result of the growth of the Bank.

    On March 31, 2005, our total assets amounted to $147,068,000 as compared to $111,460,000 recorded one year ago on March 31, 2004; reflecting a growth of $35,608,000 or 32%. Total deposits grew to $130,148,000 at March 31, 2005, from $97,625,000 at March 31, 2004, resulting in an increase of $32,523,000 or 33%. Loans outstanding rose from $82,860,000 to $114,894,000 representing an increase of $32,034,000 or a growth of 39%.

    We thank you for your confidence and continued support. We look forward to seeing you at our Annual Shareholders Meeting on April 28, 2005.

                                                                       The Town Bank
