REPORT OF
INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Trust
Committee
Peapack-Gladstone
Financial Corporation
Bedminster,
New Jersey
We have
audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of
Peapack-Gladstone Bank Employees’ Savings and Investment Plan as of December 31,
2009 and 2008, and the related statement of changes in net assets available for
benefits for the year ended December 31, 2009. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements 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 audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our
opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of
December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the changes in net assets available for benefits
for the year ended December 31, 2009 in conformity with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles.
Our audit
was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial
statements taken as a whole. The supplemental Schedule H, line 4i –
Schedule of Assets (Held at End of Year) is presented for the purpose of
additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements
but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and
Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974. The supplemental schedule is the responsibility
of the Plan's management. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to
the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic 2009 financial
statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in
relation to the basic 2009 financial
statements taken as a whole.

NOTE
1 - DESCRIPTION OF PLAN
The
following description of the Peapack-Gladstone Bank Employees’ Savings and
Investment Plan (“the Plan”) provides only general
information. Participants should refer to the plan agreement for a
more complete description of the Plan’s provisions.
General: The
Plan is a participant-directed, defined contribution plan covering all full-time
employees of the Peapack-Gladstone Bank (“the Bank”) who are 21 years or older
and have completed 1,000 hours of service, as defined. It is subject
to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974
(“ERISA”).
Contributions: Each
year, participants may contribute up to 100% of base compensation, as defined in
the Plan, up to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) limit of $16,500 and $15,500
for 2009 and 2008, respectively. Participants may also contribute
amounts representing distributions from other qualified defined benefit or
contribution plans. The Bank contributes 3% for each employee
regardless of the employees’ contributions as well as matching 50% of employee
contributions to a maximum of 6% of salary. In addition, the Bank is
contributing an enhanced benefit to certain employees who meet certain age and
service requirements. The Bank may also make discretionary
profit-sharing contributions. All employer non-matching contributions
are invested solely in Peapack-Gladstone Financial Corporation’s common stock
(“Peapack-Gladstone Financial Corporation Common Stock Fund”), for which
participants may reallocate to other investment options subsequent to the
contribution. Contributions are subject to certain
limitations. A participant may direct employee and employer match
contributions in 1% increments in any of the funds, including the
Peapack-Gladstone Financial Corporation Common Stock Fund.
Participant
Accounts: Each participant’s account is credited with the
participant’s contribution and allocation of (a) the Bank’s contribution, (b)
Plan earnings or losses, and (c) forfeitures of employer discretionary
contributions. Allocations are based on participant base compensation
or account balances, as defined. The benefit to which a participant
is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant’s vested
account. Forfeitures are also allocated to participant accounts on
the last day of the plan year.
Vesting: Participants
are immediately vested in their contributions and the Bank’s matching
contribution plus actual earnings or losses thereon. Vesting in the
non-matching contribution portion of their account plus actual earnings or
losses thereon is based on years of continuous service, as defined. A
participant is 100% vested after three years of continuous service.

NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF PLAN
(Continued)
Payment of
Benefits: On termination of service due to death, disability,
or retirement, a participant may elect to receive either a lump-sum amount equal
to the value of the participant’s vested interest in his or her account, or
equal periodic installments. For termination of service due to other
reasons, a participant may receive the value of the vested interest in his or
her account as a lump-sum distribution.
Forfeitures: Forfeitures
arising from the termination of participants who were not fully vested shall be
reallocated to participants who are employed on the last day of the plan
year. Nonvested portions of the Bank’s non-matching contribution
accounts are considered to be forfeited as of the last day of the plan year in
which the later of the one-year break-in-service or distribution
occurs. Total forfeitures reallocated to remaining participants were
$10,754 for 2009 and $9,316 for 2008, which represented the balances in the
forfeiture account at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
Management of Trust
Funds: The assets of the Plan are managed by Prudential
Insurance Company of America (“Prudential”) through its Prudential Investment
Management Services unit and PGB Trust and Investments, a division of
Peapack-Gladstone Financial Corporation (“the Corporation”). PGB
Trust & Investments performs certain administrative functions for the
Plan.
Loan
Provisions: Participants may borrow from their fund accounts
up to maximum equal to the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of their vested account
balance. Loan transactions are treated as a transfer to (from) the
investment funds from (to) the loan fund. Loan terms range from one
to five years or longer for the purchase of a primary residence. The
loans are secured by the balance in the participant’s account and bear interest
at a rate commensurate with local prevailing rates as determined quarterly by
the plan administrator. Principal and interest is paid ratably
through monthly payroll deductions.

NOTE
2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of
Accounting: The accompanying financial statements of the Plan
have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting and present the net
assets available for benefits and the changes in those net assets.
Investment Valuation and
Income Recognition: The Plan’s investments are reported at
fair value. Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a
trade-date basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual
basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Fair
value is the price that would be received by the Plan for an asset or paid by
the Plan to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction
between market participants on the measurement date in the Plan’s principal or
most advantageous market for the asset or liability. The effect of a
change in valuation technique or its application on a fair value estimate is
accounted for prospectively as a change in accounting estimate. When evaluating
indications of fair value resulting from the use of multiple valuation
techniques, the Plan is to select the point within the resulting range of
reasonable estimates of fair value
that is most representative of fair value under current market
conditions. Fair value measurements are determined by maximizing the
use of observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable
inputs. The hierarchy places the highest priority on unadjusted
quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
(level 1 measurements) and gives the lowest priority to unobservable inputs
(level 3 measurements). The three levels of inputs within the fair
value hierarchy are defined as follows:
Level 1:
Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets
that the Plan 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 the Plan’s own assumptions about
the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or
liability.
The
following are descriptions of the valuation methods and assumptions used by the
Plan to estimate the fair values of its investments.
Mutual funds: The
fair values of mutual fund investments are determined by obtaining quoted prices
on nationally recognized securities exchanges (level 1 inputs).
Company common
stock: The fair value of company common stock investment is
determined by obtaining quoted prices on nationally recognized stock exchanges
(level 1 inputs).

NOTES TO

December

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT
ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Investment
contract: The fair values of the investment contract have been
determined to approximate contract value, based upon the lack of contractual
maturity, the frequency of the re-setting of contractual interest rate to market
rate, the credit quality of the issuer, no withdrawal penalties or redemption
premiums, and the liquidity of the contract (level 3 inputs).
Participant
loans: Participant loans are reported at amortized cost, as
the fair value of the loans is not practicable to estimate due to restrictions
placed on the transferability of the loans.
The
methods described above may produce a fair value calculation that may not be
indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair
values. Furthermore, while the Plan believes its valuation methods
are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use
of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of
certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement
at the reporting date.
Investments
measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below:

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT
ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Fully Benefit-Responsive
Investment Contracts: While Plan investments are presented at fair value
in the statement of net assets available for benefits, any material difference
between the fair value of the Plan’s direct and indirect interests in fully
benefit-responsive investment contracts and their contract value is presented as
an adjustment line in the statement of net assets available for benefits,
because contract value is the relevant measurement attribute for that portion of
the Plan’s net assets available for benefits. Contract value
represents contributions made to a contract, plus earnings, less participant
withdrawals and administrative expenses. Participants in fully
benefit-responsive contracts may ordinarily direct the withdrawal or transfer of
all or a portion of their investment at contract value. The Plan
holds a direct interest in a fully benefit-responsive contract. No
adjustments from fair value to contract value are presented in the statements of
net assets available for benefits, as the amounts of the adjustments have been
determined to be immaterial.
Administrative
Expenses: The majority of the administrative expenses are paid
by the Bank.
Estimates: The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect certain reported amounts and disclosures, and actual results could differ
from these estimates.
Risks and
Uncertainties: The Plan holds various
investment securities. Investment securities are exposed to various
risks such as interest rate, market, liquidity and credit risks. Due
to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities and the
sensitivity of certain fair value estimates to changes in valuation assumptions,
it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the fair values of investment
securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially
affect participants account balances and the amount reported in the statement of
net assets available for benefits
Concentration of Credit
Risk: At December 31, 2009 and 2008, approximately 11.9% and
27.8% of the Plan’s investments were invested in Peapack-Gladstone Financial
Corporation common stock.
NOTE
3 – RIGHTS UPON PLAN TERMINATION
Although
the Corporation has not expressed intent to terminate the Plan, it may do so at
any time by action of its board of directors subject to the provisions of
ERISA. If the Plan were terminated, however, all participants of the
Plan would automatically become 100% vested in their fund balances.

NOTE
5 - INVESTMENT CONTRACT WITH INSURANCE COMPANY
In 2006,
the Plan entered into a fully benefit-responsive group annuity contract with
Prudential Retirement Insurance & Annuity Company (“PRIAC”) by investing in
the PRIAC Guaranteed Income Fund. Prudential Retirement Insurance
& Annuity Company maintains the contributions in its general
account. The account is credited with earnings on the underlying
investments and charged for participant withdrawals and administrative
expenses. Participants may ordinarily direct the withdrawal or
transfer of all or a portion of their investments at contract
value. Contract value represents contributions made under the
contract, plus earnings, less participant withdrawals and administrative
expenses. There are no reserves against contract value for credit
risk of the Issuer or otherwise.
The
Plan’s investment contract specifies that generally there are not any events
that could limit the ability of the plan to transact at contract value paid
within 90 days or in rare circumstances, contract value paid over
time. There are not any events that allow the issuer to terminate the
contract and which require the plan sponsor to settle at an amount different
than contract value paid either within 90 days or over
time. Currently, management believes that the occurrence of an event
that would cause the Plan to transact contract distributions at less that
contract value is not probable.
The
crediting interest rate of the contract is based on an agreed-upon formula with
PRIAC, as defined in the contract agreement, but cannot be less than
1.5%. Such interest rates are reviewed on a semiannual basis for
resetting. The key factors that influence future interest crediting
rates could include the following: current economic and market
conditions; the level of market interest rates; and both the expected and actual
experience of a reference portfolio within PRIAC’s general
account. The resulting gain or loss in the fair value of the
investment contract relative to its contract value, if any, is reflected in the
Statement of Net Assets Available for Benefits as adjustment from fair value to
contract value for fully benefit-responsive investment contracts. No
adjustment amount is being reported as management has determined that there is
no material difference between contract value and fair value of the contract as
of December 31, 2009 and 2008.

NOTE
6 - TAX STATUS
The Plan
was designed under the Prudential Insurance Company of America Prototype Plan
and Trust. The Prototype Plan received a favorable tax opinion letter
dated June 3, 2004. The plan administrator believes that the Plan has
been designed to be a qualified plan as described in Section 401(a) of the
Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”), and thereunder exempt from payment of federal
income taxes under provisions of Section 501(a) of the IRC. The Plan
has been amended since the opinion letter was received. However, the
plan administrator believes that the Plan is designed and is currently being
operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC.
NOTE
7 - PARTY-IN-INTEREST TRANSACTIONS
Parties-in-interest
are defined under Department of Labor regulations as any fiduciary of the Plan,
any party rendering service to the Plan, the employer, and certain
others. The Plan holds a guaranteed investment contract with
Prudential Retirement Insurance & Annuity Company, which is also the
custodian of the Plan. The Plan also holds shares of Peapack-Gladstone Financial
Corporation Common Stock, for which the number of shares and fair values were
132,169 and $1,675,898, and 123,183 and $3,281,598 as of December 31, 2009 and
2008. The Plan recognized dividend income of $167,397 during 2009
from this related-party investment. Participant loans held by the
Plan also reflect party-in-interest transactions.
Certain
administrative functions are performed by officers or employees of the
Bank. No such officer or employee receives compensation from the
Plan. Some administrative expenses of the Plan are paid directly by
the Bank.
