(the "Company"), the bank holding company of Parke Bank, a New Jersey chartered commercial bank (the "Bank"), to be used at a Annual Meeting of Shareholders of the Company which will be held at The Italian Bistro, 590 Delsea Drive, Washington Township, New Jersey, on April 25, 2006, at 10:00 a.m. (the "Meeting"). The accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting and this Proxy Statement are being first mailed to shareholders on or about March 29, 2006. At the Meeting, shareholders will consider and vote upon (i) the election of one director of the Company and (ii) the ratification of the appointment of McGladrey & Pullen, LLP as the Company's independent auditor for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2006. The Board of Directors knows of no additional matters that will be presented for consideration at the Meeting. Execution of a proxy, however, confers on the designated proxyholder the discretionary authority to vote the shares represented by such proxy in accordance with their best judgment on such other business, if any, that may properly come before the Meeting or any adjournment thereof. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- VOTING AND REVOCABILITY OF PROXIES -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shareholders who execute proxies retain the right to revoke them at any time. Unless so revoked, the shares represented by such proxies will be voted at the Meeting and all adjournments thereof. Proxies may be revoked by written notice to the Secretary of the Company at the address above or by the filing of a later dated proxy prior to a vote being taken on a particular proposal at the Meeting. A proxy will not be voted if a shareholder attends the Meeting and votes in person. Proxies solicited by the Board of Directors will be voted as specified thereon. If no specification is made, signed proxies will be voted "FOR" the nominee for director as set forth in this Proxy Statement and "FOR" the ratification of McGladrey & Pullen, LLP as the Company's independent auditor for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2006. The proxy confers discretionary authority on the persons named thereon to vote with respect to matters incident to the conduct of the Meeting. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- VOTING SECURITIES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS THEREOF -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shareholders of record as of the close of business on March 22, 2006 (the "Record Date"), are entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock then held. As of the Record Date, the Company had 2,327,995 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding. The presence in person or by proxy of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock entitled to vote is necessary to constitute a quorum at the Meeting. With respect to any matter, broker non-votes (i.e., shares for which a broker indicates on the proxy that it does not have discretionary authority as to such shares to vote on such matter) will be considered present for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present. In the event there are not sufficient votes for a quorum or to ratify any proposal at the time of the Meeting, the Meeting may be adjourned in order to permit the further solicitation of proxies. With respect to the election of directors (Proposal I), the proxy provided by the Board of Directors allows a shareholder to vote for the election of the nominee proposed by the Board of Directors, or to withhold authority to vote for the nominee being proposed. Under the Company's bylaws, directors are elected by a plurality of votes cast, without regard to either (i) broker non-votes or (ii) proxies as to which authority to vote for the nominee being proposed is withheld. With respect to ratification of the Company's independent auditor for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2006 (Proposal II), a shareholder may vote "FOR" the proposal, "AGAINST" the proposal or "ABSTAIN" from voting on the proposal. Approval of Proposal II requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes actually cast in person or by proxy at the Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on Proposal II. Concerning any other matters that may properly come before the Meeting, unless otherwise required by law, all such matters shall be determined by a majority of votes cast affirmatively or negatively without regard to broker non-votes or proxies marked "ABSTAIN" as to that matter. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PROPOSAL I ELECTION OF DIRECTORS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Board of Directors currently consists of three members divided into three classes, each of which contains approximately one-third of the members of the Board. The directors are elected by the shareholders of the Company for staggered three-year terms, or until their successors are elected and qualified. One director will be elected at the Meeting. It is intended that proxies solicited by the Board of Directors will, unless otherwise specified, be voted for the election of the named nominee. If the nominee is unable to serve, the shares represented by all valid proxies will be voted for the election of such substitute as the Board of Directors may recommend or the size of the Board may be reduced to eliminate the vacancy. At this time, the Board of Directors knows of no reason why the nominee might be unavailable to serve. The following table sets forth for the nominee, the directors continuing in office and certain executive officers: name, age, the year the individual first became a director or officer of the Company, the term of office and the number and percentage of shares of common stock beneficially owned by each of them as of the Record Date.

Meetings and Committees of the Board of Directors The Board of Directors conducts its business through meetings of the Board and through activities of its committees. During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Board of Directors met a total seven times, including regularly scheduled meetings and special meetings, and five of the meetings were held since the reorganization in June 2005. No director attended fewer than 75% of the total meetings of the Board of Directors and meetings of the committees on which he served during the year ended December 31, 2005. The Board maintains an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee and a Nominating Committee. Each committee consists of Directors Choate, Dalton and Pennoni. The Board of Directors has determined that Directors Choate and Dalton are independent in accordance with the requirements of Nasdaq regulations and that Director Pennoni is not independent in accordance with those 4 requirements due to a real estate transactions involving the Bank's main office and a branch office that occurred in 2003. Nonetheless, the Board of Directors believes that Director Pennoni is an effective member of the committees and that his membership on the committees is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. The Board of Directors has determined that Mr. Choate is an Audit Committee Financial Expert within the meaning of the regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Audit Committee met four times, the Compensation Committee met one time and the Nomination Committee met one time. The Board of Directors as a whole has adopted written charters for the Audit Committee and the Nominating Committee, copies of which are attached as Appendix A and Appendix B, respectively, to this Proxy Statement. Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation No member of our Compensation Committee is or formerly was an officer or employee of the Company. During 2005, none of our executive officers served on the Compensation Committee (or equivalent), or the Board of Directors, of another entity whose executive officer or officers served on our Compensation Committee or Board. Director Nomination Process The Company does not pay fees to any third party to identify or evaluate or assist in identifying or evaluating potential nominees. The process for identifying and evaluating potential Board nominees includes soliciting recommendations from directors and officers of the Company. Additionally, the Board will consider persons recommended by shareholders of the Company in selecting the Board's nominees for election. There is no difference in the manner in which persons recommended by directors or officers versus persons recommended by shareholders in selecting Board nominees are evaluated. To be considered in the selection of Board nominees, recommendations from shareholders must be received by the Company in writing by at least 120 days prior to the date the proxy statement for the previous year's annual meeting was first distributed to shareholders. Recommendations should identify the submitting shareholder, the person recommended for consideration and the reasons the submitting shareholder believes such person should be considered. The Board believes potential directors should be knowledgeable about the business activities and market areas in which the Company engages. Shareholder Communications The Board of Directors does not have a formal process for shareholders to send communications to the Board. In view of the infrequency of shareholder communications to the Board of Directors, the Board does not believe that a formal process is necessary. Written communications received by the Company from shareholders are shared with the full Board no later than the next regularly scheduled Board meeting. The Board encourages, but does not require, directors to attend the annual meeting of shareholders. All of the Board's members attended the 2005 annual meeting of shareholders. Planned Expansion of the Board of Directors In January 2007, the Board of Directors intends to increase the size of the Board of Directors from three members to 12 members and to fill the newly-created vacancies by appointing the current directors of the Bank who do not currently serve on the Company's Board of Directors: Arret F. Dobson, Thomas Hedenberg, Edward Infantolino, Anthony J. Jannetti, Jeffrey H. Kripitz, Vito S. Pantilione, 5 Richard Phalines, Jack C. Sheppard, Jr. and Ray H. Tresch. As described in the proxy materials for the 2005 Annual Meeting of Shareholders of the Bank, at which meeting shareholders approved our holding company reorganization, it was intended that the nine directors then serving on the Board of Directors of the Bank who were not initial directors of the Company would be appointed to the Board of Directors of the Company upon expiration of the three-year look-back provisions of the Nasdaq independence rules.

Pantilione, Huggard and Middlebrook. Employment Agreements. The Bank has entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Pantilione. Mr. Pantilione's base salary under the employment agreement for the year ended December 9 31, 2005 was $225,000. Mr. Pantilione's employment agreement has a term of three years that is automatically extended for one year on January 1st of each year, unless notice of termination of the automatic extension is given in accordance with the terms of the employment agreement. The employment agreement may be terminated by the Bank for "cause" as defined in the agreement. If the Bank terminates Mr. Pantilione's employment without just cause, he will be entitled to a continuation of his salary from the date of termination through the remaining term of the agreement. The employment agreement contains a provision stating that after Mr. Pantilione's employment is terminated in connection with any change in control, he will be paid a lump sum amount equal to the balance of the annual compensation due under the agreement plus an amount equal to 3.0 times the highest rate of bonus awarded to him during the three years prior to such termination. If payment had been made under the agreement as of December 31, 2005, the payment to Mr. Pantilione would have equaled approximately $1,125,000. The employment agreement also grants the right of the employee, within six months following a termination without cause or a voluntary termination by the employee for good reason, to require the Company to repurchase all of the employee's shares of Common Stock, warrants and options of the Company then owned by the employee at the closing price of such stock on the business day immediately preceding the date of notice of the employee's exercise of this right. The employment agreement also contains an agreement not to compete with the Bank which restricts certain post-employment activities of the employee within the Counties of Gloucester, Camden, Salem or Cumberland, New Jersey, for two years following termination of employment with the Bank. Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan ("SERP"). The Bank implemented a SERP program effective January 1, 2003. Vito S. Pantilione, President, Ernest D. Huggard, Senior Vice President, and David O. Middlebrook, Senior Vice President, are each participants in the SERP. Under the SERP, retirement benefits are payable to such participant commencing upon retirement after attainment of age 60 at the rate of 50% of their highest base salary paid while an employee of the Bank for the remainder of their life. If such retirement benefit payments are made for less than ten years, a survivor benefit will continue to be paid for the balance of such ten year period. Such benefits are in addition to any social security benefits. Upon a change of control of the Bank prior to the date of retirement of a participant, all benefits shall be deemed earned and non-forfeitable as if such participant had attained his or her retirement date at age 60. A participant may elect to retire after age 55 and such benefits payable shall be actuarially reduced to reflect the earlier payment commencement date. If a participant dies prior to age 60 while employed by the Bank, a survivor benefit will be paid equal to 100% of the participant's highest salary for one year and 50% of such salary for four additional years. Benefits under the plan may be paid in the form of a lump-sum on an actuarially equivalent basis. For the year ended December 31, 2005, the Bank had total accrued plan expense of $246,000 with respect to benefits payable under the SERP. Benefits under the SERP will be a tax deductible expense to the Bank at the time that actual benefit payments are made. The Bank has invested in various life insurance agreements (commonly known as BOLI, for bank-owned life insurance) with policy proceeds payable to the Bank in the event of the death of plan participants. Such insurance proceeds and earnings related to such investments are anticipated to exceed any plan costs related to benefit payments. Stock Options.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance Section 16(a) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires the Company's officers and directors, and persons who own more than 10% of the Common Stock, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership of the Common Stock with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and to provide copies of those reports to the Company. The Company is not aware of any beneficial owner, as defined under Section 16(a), of more than 10% of its Common Stock.

The terms of these related party loans, including interest rates, collateral and repayment terms, are similar to those prevailing for comparable transactions with other customers and do not involve more than a normal risk of collectability or other unfavorable features. At December 31, 2005, the aggregate outstanding principal balance of all such related party loans was $12,347,626, and all such loans were current and performing in accordance with their terms. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- REPORT OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Compensation Committee meets annually to review compensation paid to our executive officers, including our Chief Executive Officer. The executive compensation program primarily consists of base compensation, cash bonuses and stock options. In determining base compensation, the Compensation Committee considers prevailing industry salaries, historical compensation levels as compared with past performance and expected future contributions of the executives. Although the Committee does not specifically set compensation levels for executive officers based on whether particular financial goals have been achieved by the Company, the Committee does consider the overall profitability of the Company when making these decisions. The Compensation Committee has the following goals for compensation programs impacting the executive officers of the Company and the Bank: o Provide motivation for the executive officers to enhance shareholder value by linking their compensation to the future value of the Company's stock; and o Retain the executive officers who have led the Bank to build its existing market franchise and to allow the Bank to attract high quality executive officers in the future by providing total compensation opportunities which are consistent with competitive norms of the industry and the Bank's level of performance. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, Vito S. Pantilione, President and Chief Executive Officer, received an increase in his base salary from $210,000 to $225,000 due to the Bank's financial performance in terms of net income, earnings per share, and growth in net income, earnings per share and assets, as well as his continued leadership in the management of the Company and the Bank. Also considered were the salaries of Ernest D. Huggard, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, and David O. Middlebrook, Senior Vice President, Senior Loan Officer and Corporate Secretary. Mr. Huggard received a salary increase from $113,750 to $130,000. Mr. Middlebrook received a salary increase from $94,500 to $105,000. All increases were effective on January 1, 2005. Compensation Committee: Daniel J. Dalton (Chairman) Fred G. Choate Celestino R. Pennoni -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- STOCK PERFORMANCE GRAPH -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Set forth below is a performance graph for the Common Stock for the five fiscal years ended December 31, 2005. The performance graph, as prepared for the Company by Center for Research in Security Prices, compares the cumulative total return on the Common Stock with (i) the Nasdaq Stock Market, which takes into account the cumulative total return on stocks listed for quotation on the Nasdaq Stock Market, and (ii) NASDAQ Stocks -- Commercial Banks, which takes into account the cumulative 12 total return on the stocks listed for quotation on the Nasdaq Stock Market of companies with the same three digit SIC code as the Company. Comparisons assume the investment of $100 as of November 21, 2002, the date the Bank's common stock became listed for quotation on Nasdaq. The respective cumulative total returns are computed with the reinvestment of dividends at the frequency with which dividends, if any, were paid during the period. There can be no assurance that the Company's future stock performance will be the same or similar to the historical stock performance shown in the graph below. The Company neither makes nor endorses any predictions as to stock performance.
