Business Context and Reporting Period
This Form 10-Q covers the quarterly period ended September 30, 2002, for Provident Financial Services, Inc. The Registrant was formed as a stock holding company for The Provident Bank to facilitate a mutual-to-stock conversion. As of the filing date, the conversion had not been completed. Consequently, the Registrant has no assets, liabilities, or operating activities of its own.
Key Financial Metrics

Selected quarterly financial information for the underlying entity, The Provident Bank, is referenced in Exhibit 99.2, but specific numerical data is not included in the text of this filing summary.
Material Changes
There are no material changes to report for the Registrant as it remains a shell entity with no operations. The filing notes that the Registrant's common stock had no shares outstanding as of September 30, 2002.
