                       JSB FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
                 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.  Basis of Presentation

        The financial  information  for JSB Financial,  Inc. (the  "Company") as
consolidated  with its wholly  owned  subsidiary  Jamaica  Savings Bank FSB (the
"Bank") is prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting  principles
for interim financial  statements and with instructions to Form 10-Q and Article
10 of Regulation  S-X. Such  principles are applied on a basis  consistent  with
those reflected in the 1997 Annual Report filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.   The  financial   information   included  herein,  other  than  the
consolidated  statement of financial condition as of December 31, 1997, has been
prepared  by  management  without  an  audit  by  independent  certified  public
accountants who do not express an opinion thereon. The consolidated statement of
financial condition as of December 31, 1997, has been derived from, but does not
include all the  disclosures  contained in, the audited  consolidated  financial
statements  for the year ended  December 31,  1997.  The  information  furnished
includes  all  adjustments  and  accruals  consisting  only of normal  recurring
accrual adjustments which are in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair
presentation of results for the interim periods.  The foregoing  interim results
are not  necessarily  indicative of the results of operations  for the full year
ending December 31, 1998.

        These  consolidated  financial  statements should be read in conjunction
with the audited consolidated  financial statements and notes thereto,  included
in the Annual Report to Stockholders for JSB Financial,  Inc. for the year ended
December 31, 1997.

2.  Impact of New Accounting Standards

        Effective  January 1, 1998, the Company  adopted  Statement of Financial
Accounting  Standards  ("SFAS")  No.  130,  "Reporting   Comprehensive   Income"
("Statement  130").  Comprehensive  income  represents the change in equity of a
business  enterprise  during a period  from  transactions  and other  events and
circumstances from non-owner sources. It includes all changes in equity during a
period except those resulting from  investments by owners and  distributions  to
owners. Statement 130 requires that all items that are required to be recognized
under accounting  standards as components of comprehensive income be reported in
a  financial  statement  that is  displayed  with the same  prominence  as other
financial statements.

        Effective   January  1,  1998,  the  Company  addressed  SFAS  No.  131,
"Disclosures   About  Segments  of  an  Enterprise   and  Related   Information"
("Statement  131").  The Company  determined that it has no reportable  segments
pursuant to the criteria  presented in Statement 131, however if such reportable
segments should be determined to exist in the future, the disclosure as required
by Statement 131 would be provided.

3.  Impact of New Accounting Standard Not Yet Adopted

        In June of 1998,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  ("FASB")
issued  SFAS  No.  133,  "Accounting  for  Derivative  Instruments  and  Hedging
Activities"   ("Statement  133").   Statement  133  establishes  accounting  and
reporting  standards for derivative  instruments,  including certain  derivative
instruments   embedded  in  other  contracts,   (collectively   referred  to  as
derivatives) and for hedging  activities.  Statement 133 requires that an entity
recognize all  derivatives  as either assets or  liabilities in the statement of
financial  position  and measure  those  instruments  at fair value.  If certain
conditions are met, a derivative may be specifically  designed as (a) a hedge of
the exposure to changes in the fair value of a recognized  asset or liability or
an unrecognized  firm  commitment,  (b) a hedge of the exposure to variable cash
flows  of a  forecasted  transaction,  or (c) a hedge  of the  foreign  currency
exposure  of a net  investment  in a foreign  operation,  an  unrecognized  firm
commitment,  an available-for-sale  security, or a  foreign-currency-denominated
forecasted transaction.

        The accounting  for changes in the fair value of a derivative  (that is,
gains  and  losses)  depends  on the  intended  use of the  derivative  and  the
resulting designation.

        Statement  133 is  effective  for all fiscal  quarters  of fiscal  years
beginning after June 15, 1999.  Initial  application of this Statement should be
as of the  beginning  of an  entity's  fiscal  quarter;  on that  date,  hedging
relationships must be designated anew and documented  pursuant to the provisions
of this Statement. Earlier application of all of the provisions of Statement 133
is  encouraged,  but it is  permitted  only as of the  beginning  of any  fiscal
quarter that begins after the issuance of this  Statement.  Statement 133 should
not be applied retroactively to financial statements of prior periods.

        The Company does not expect the adoption of Statement 133 to have a
material  affect on its financial  condition or results of operations.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
          RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


General/Financial Condition
- ---------------------------

        JSB  Financial,  Inc. is a  Delaware-chartered  savings and loan holding
company, which owns 100% of the outstanding common stock of Jamaica Savings Bank
FSB (the  "Bank").  The  Company's  assets,  including  the  assets of the Bank,
totaled  approximately  $1.56  billion  at June 30,  1998.  In  addition  to the
Company's  investment  in the Bank,  at June 30,  1998,  the  Company  had $37.4
million in money market  investments  on deposit with the Bank and $45.0 million
in short-term federal agency securities.

Asset Quality
- -------------

        The Bank generally includes in non-performing  loans, loans which are 90
days or more in arrears and loans which have been placed on non-accrual  status.
In addition to non-performing loans,  non-performing assets include ORE, as well
as any  other  investments,  if any,  on which  the  collection  of  contractual
principal and interest is  questionable.  The ratio of  non-performing  loans to
total  loans  was  .02%  and  1.32% at June 30,  1998  and  December  31,  1997,
respectively. Non-performing loans at December 31, 1997 included a $12.8 million
underlying   cooperative  mortgage  loan  that  was  under  foreclosure  and  on
non-accrual status. (See Non-performing/Non-accrual Table, herein.)

        At June 30,  1998,  the  Bank's  non-performing  assets,  which  totaled
$662,000, included: non-performing loans of $257,000 and $405,000 ORE. The ratio
of non-performing  assets to total assets was .04% and .90% at June 30, 1998 and
December 31, 1997,  respectively.  The significant  reduction in  non-performing
assets resulted from the payoff on the $12.8 million mortgage loan,  referred to
above, on which the Bank had entered into a settlement  agreement on January 28,
1998.  Upon  satisfaction  of this mortgage,  the Bank received all  contractual
principal, interest, legal and other fees due.

         which was  satisfied  on May 28,  1998.  (See Asset  Quality,  page 11,
         herein.)

(2)      The  Bank's  FHA and VA loans are  guaranteed,  seasoned  loans.  It is
         management's  belief that these loans,  including those in arrears,  do
         not present any significant collection risk to the Bank, and therefore,
         are presented separately.

         There were no loans included in the above table that were modified in a
trouble debt restructure.  There were no impaired loans at June 30, 1998 and the
one  $12,754,000  impaired loan which was on non-accrual  status at December 31,
1997 was satisfied on May 28, 1998.  The average  balance of impaired  loans was
$10,358,221  and $12,754,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and June 30,
1997,  respectively.  Interest-income recorded for the impaired loan for the six
months ended June 30, 1998 was $387,000.  No income was recorded on the impaired
loan for the quarter  ended and six months  ended June 30,  1997;  however,  all
contractual  interest which was not previously  accrued was received  during the
second quarter of 1998. The $4,346,000 recorded for the recovery of prior period
expenses  and  unaccrued   interest  on  troubled  loans   includes   $2,752,600
contractual  interest for the period from  October 1, 1995 through  February 10,
1998,  when  the  borrower  resumed  making  interest  payments  pursuant  to  a
settlement agreement.  For the six months ended June 30, 1997, the impaired loan
resulted in  unrecorded  interest of  $590,000,  which was fully  recovered,  as
discussed above.  Loans  restructured in a trouble debt restructure,  other than
those  classified as impaired  and/or  non-accrual  loans,  were  $1,814,000 and
$1,840,000  at June 30,  1998 and  December  31,  1997,  respectively.  Interest
forfeited attributable to these loans was $33,000 and $31,000 for the six months
ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

         The Company's funds are primarily  obtained  through  dividends paid by
the  Bank.  The  Bank's  primary  source of funds are  deposits,  proceeds  from
maturities of debt securities, principal and interest payments on CMOs, mortgage
and other loans.  During the six months ended June 30, 1998,  the $154.0 million
of purchases of U.S.  Government and federal agency  securities  represented the
most significant use of funds in investing activities. Mortgage originations for
the portfolio, substantially all of which are at fixed rates, for the six months
ended 1998 were $135.9 million,  compared to $78.5 million for the first half of
1997.  CMO purchases for the six months ended June 30, 1998 were $35.0  million,
compared to $30.0 for the six months ended June 30, 1997.  During the first half
of 1998,  maturities of U.S. Government and federal agency securities  generated
$270.0  million,  the most  significant  cash inflow from investing  activities,
followed by principal  payments on mortgage  loans and CMOs of $48.3 million and
$35.6  million,  respectively.  The  $11.5  million  cost  of  repurchasing  the
Company's  common  stock  represents  the  largest  use of  funds  in  financing
activities for the first six months of 1998.  The increase in dividend  payments
reflects the increase in dividends  paid per share to $.80 for the first half of
1998, compared to $.70 per share for the first half of 1997.

        The net  increase in deposits of $493,000 to $1.122  billion at June 30,
1998,  compared  to  deposits  at  December  31,  1997,  reflects  increases  in
certificate  accounts,  demand deposit  accounts and lease security  accounts of
$14.8 million,  $1.1 million and $784,000,  respectively,  partially offset by a
$11.4 million  decrease in passbook  accounts,  a $3.9 million decrease in money
market  accounts  and an $821,000  decrease in  negotiable  order of  withdrawal
("NOW")   accounts.   Interest  rates  offered  on  passbook  accounts  remained
relatively  low  compared  to  alternative  short-term  certificate  of deposits
offered  by the Bank and  other  non-bank  products  available  through  various
investment  firms.  This  scenario  has caused the trend of deposit  shifts from
passbook accounts to short-term certificate accounts,  which offer higher rates.
Management continues to monitor deposit levels and interest rates in conjunction
with asset  structure and has evaluated and  implemented  various  strategies to
provide for targeted  objectives in various  interest rate  scenarios.  Interest
rate spread, net interest margin,  liquidity, and related asset quality are some
of the key measures of financial performance that management remains focused on.
The Bank's assets are  structured  such that a gradual  decline in deposits will
not adversely affect the Company. The Bank's liquidity ratios continue to exceed
all short and long term minimum regulatory  requirements.  Management is focused
on providing  quality  customer service as its main strategy for maintaining its
relationships  with its depositors.  The Bank has expanded its range of services
to customers, including automated telephone banking and credit cards

        The Bank attempts to influence  deposit levels and  composition  through
its interest rate structure.  Management  believes that the relatively low level
of interest rates and the strong  performance  and growth of the capital markets
are the primary contributors for the continued decline in deposits over the past
several years.  Management  chose to allow deposits to decline,  rather than pay
rates  that  would  result in a lower net income or  necessitate  modifying  the
Bank's existing investment structure and guidelines. Rates offered on the Bank's
deposit  accounts are  competitive  with those rates offered by other  financial
institutions  in its market area.  While the highest  percentage of deposits has
remained in passbook and lease  security  accounts,  the trend of deposit shifts
has  moved  away  from  passbook  accounts  and  towards  certificate  accounts.
Management cannot predict the future direction of deposits. As deposits decline,
interest  earning  assets may also decline,  resulting in a decrease in interest
income, the primary component in the Company's net income.

        The Company  repurchased  219,300  shares of its common stock during the
six months ended June 30, 1998,  pursuant to its tenth stock repurchase  program
(the  "Current  Program"),  which began on June 12,  1996.  As of June 30, 1998,
634,300 of the 900,000 shares targeted for repurchase  under the Current Program
were  repurchased at an aggregate cost of $25.2 million,  or at an average price
of $39.74 per share.  Pursuant to the  Company's  stock  option  plans,  130,163
shares of  treasury  stock were  reissued  for option  exercises  during the six
months  ended June 30,  1998.  During the six months  ended June 30,  1998,  the
Company issued 1,800 shares of treasury stock for directors compensation.

        On April 14, 1998,  the  Company's  Board of  Directors  declared a cash
dividend  of $.40 per  share to  stockholders  of  record  on May 6,  1997.  The
dividend payment, which totaled $4.0 million, was made on May 20, 1998.



Regulations
- -----------

        As  a  condition  of  deposit  account   insurance,   Office  of  Thrift
Supervision ("OTS") regulations require that the Bank calculate three regulatory
net worth requirements on a quarterly basis, and satisfy each requirement at the
calculation date and throughout the ensuing quarter. The three requirements are:
tangible  capital of 1.50%,  leverage ratio (or "core capital") of 3.00%,  and a
risk-based  assets  capital  ratio of 8.00%.  Although  the minimum core capital
ratio is 3.00%, the OTS Prompt Corrective  Action Regulation  stipulates that an
institution with less than 4.00% core capital is deemed to be  undercapitalized.
The Bank's capital ratios at June 30, 1998 were as follows:

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended
 June 30, 1998 and 1997
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

        Net income, which included two non-recurring items, for the three months
ended June 30, 1998,  was $15.2  million,  or $1.49 per diluted share ($1.54 per
basic share),  compared  with $7.1 million,  or $.70 per diluted share ($.72 per
basic share) for the three months ended June 30, 1997.

Non-Recurring Items:

        Earnings for the second  quarter ended June 30, 1998 were  significantly
improved by two  non-recurring  items.  In connection with the settlement on the
$12.8  million  underlying  mortgage  loan,  the Company  recognized  additional
pre-tax income of $3.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 1998.

        Also, during the second quarter of 1998, the Company experienced a lower
effective tax rate principally related to a realignment of operations  involving
an operating  subsidiary of the Bank. As a result,  net income increased by $5.0
million for the quarter ended June 30, 1998.

        Net interest  income for the three months ended June 30, 1998, was $18.5
million, compared to $17.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 1997. The
increase in net interest  income  reflects a $1.3  million  increase in interest
income and a $190,000  decrease in interest  expense.  The  annualized  yield on
interest earning assets increased to 7.74%,  compared to 7.51%, for the quarters
ended June 30, 1998 and 1997,  respectively;  average  interest  earning  assets
increased by $24.6 million.  The annualized  cost of interest  bearing  deposits
decreased  slightly to 3.58% from 3.60% for the quarters ended June 30, 1998 and
1997,  respectively.  Average  interest bearing deposits were $1.088 million for
the quarter ended June 30, 1998 compared to $1.102 million for the quarter ended
June 30, 1997. For the quarter ended June 30, 1998, the interest rate spread and
net  interest  margin  increased to 4.16% and 5.07%,  respectively,  compared to
3.91% and 4.75%, respectively for the quarter ended June 30, 1997.

        Income earned on mortgage loans increased by 19.5%, to $21.8 million for
the three months ended June 30, 1998,  compared to $18.3 million for the quarter
ended June 30, 1997, reflecting continued growth in the mortgage loan portfolio.
This increase was  partially  offset by a decrease in the yield to 8.38% for the
quarter ended June 30, 1998, from 8.51% for the quarter ended June 30, 1997.

        For the three months  ended June 30,  1998,  income from debt and equity
securities,  decreased  by $2.2  million,  or 41.5%,  to $3.1  million from $5.3
million for the three months ended June 30, 1997. This decrease is the result of
a decrease in the  average  investment  in U.S.  Government  and federal  agency
securities and other investments of $153.9 million, or 43.9%, to $196.3 million,
compared  to $350.2  million  for the three  months  ended  June 30,  1997.  The
annualized  yield on the debt and equity security  portfolio  increased to 6.27%
for the three  months  ended June 30, 1998 from 6.01% for the three months ended
June 30, 1997. The debt and equity securities portfolio activity for the current
period  included  purchases of $79.0 million and  maturities of $160.0  million,
compared with  purchases of $110.0  million and maturities of $155.0 million for
the quarter ended June 30, 1997.

        For the quarter ended June 30, 1998,  income on CMOs decreased by 23.9%,
to $1.6 million,  with an annualized yield of 6.17%, from income of $2.1 million
with an annualized  yield of 5.93% for the quarter  ended June 30, 1997.  During
the second  quarter  of 1998,  the Bank  received  principal  payments  of $14.4
million on CMOs,  compared  with  principal  payments  of $27.3  million for the
quarter  ended June 30, 1997.  CMO  purchases  during the quarter ended June 30,
1998 totaled $15.0  million.  There were no purchases of CMOs during the quarter
ended June 30, 1997. The Bank did not sell any CMOs during either period.


  18

        Income on federal  funds sold  increased by  $479,000,  or 69.0% to $1.2
million for the quarter  ended June 30, 1998 from $694,000 for the quarter ended
June 30, 1997. This increase resulted from an increase in the average investment
in federal  funds of $35.4  million to $86.4  million  for the  current  period,
compared with $51.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 1997.  The annualized
yield on federal funds sold was 5.43% for the current quarter, compared to 5.44%
for the quarter ended June 30, 1997.

        Interest expense on deposits was $9.7 million for the quarter ended June
30, 1998,  compared to $9.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 1997. Average
interest bearing deposits decreased by $14.0 million,  to $1.088 billion for the
three  months  ended June 30,  1998,  compared  to $1.102  billion for the three
months ended June 30, 1997. The average rate paid on interest  bearing  deposits
decreased  two basis  points to 3.58% for the  quarter  ended June 30, 1998 from
3.60% from the comparative quarter in 1997.

        The  provision  for possible  loan losses for the quarter ended June 30,
1998 was $14,000,  compared to $161,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 1997. The
provision for the second quarter of 1997 included provisions of $150,000 for the
general valuation mortgage  allowance.  During the second quarter of 1998, there
were no provisions made for mortgage loan losses.  Based on internal loan review
analysis,  no additions  to the mortgage  allowance  were  considered  necessary
during the period.  Management  will continue to monitor the  performance of the
loan portfolios and may adjust allowances accordingly.  During the quarter ended
June 30,  1998,  the Bank  received  a final  settlement  on the  $12.8  million
underlying   cooperative  mortgage  loan,  whereby  all  contractual  principal,
interest, legal and other fees were recovered. This satisfaction resulted in the
ratio of  non-performing  loans to total  loans  decreasing  to .02% at June 30,
1998, from 1.32% at December 31, 1997.

        Total  non-interest  income for the three  months  ended June 30,  1998,
increased  to $5.8 million from $1.5 million for the three months ended June 30,
1997, a net increase of $4.3 million,  or 277.9%.  The $3.3 million  recovery of
prior period expenses and unaccrued interest on troubled loans resulted from the
final satisfaction on the $12.8 million mortgage loan (as previously discussed).
Due to the low  interest  rate  environment,  mortgage  prepayment  activity has
increased. As a result, loan fees and service charges increased by $1.1 million,
primarily  reflecting  prepayment  penalties  received by the Company during the
second quarter of 1998 on large mortgage loans. Real estate operations decreased
by  $442,000,  reflecting  the decrease in real estate  properties  owned by the
Bank's  subsidiaries.  The $314,000 increase in miscellaneous  income includes a
refund of  $264,000  for real  estate  taxes from prior  years on the  Company's
headquarters  and an  increase  of $53,000 in  profits  realized  on the sale of
student loans.

        Non-interest  expense increased by $130,000,  to $6.9 million during the
quarter  ended  June 30,  1998.  The  $193,000  increase  in other  general  and
administrative  expense  primarily  reflects an increase in consultation fees in
connection with the realignment of a Bank subsidiary.

        The provision for income taxes  decreased by $2.3 million,  or 50.7%, to
$2.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 1998, from $4.6 million for the
three months ended June 30, 1997. This decrease is reflective of the decrease in
the Company's effective tax rate from 39.2% for the quarter ended June 30, 1997,
to 12.9% for the quarter ended June 30, 1998. The significantly  lower effective
tax rate experienced during the second quarter of 1998 is principally related to
the  realignment  of operations  involving an operating  subsidiary of the Bank.
This  realignment  may  also  positively  impact  (but to a lesser  extent)  the
effective  tax rate  during  the  remainder  of 1998,  although  such  impact is
currently uncertain.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Six Months Ended June 30, 1998 and 1997
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

         Net income,  which included two non-recurring items, for the six months
ended June 30, 1998,  was $22.9  million,  or $2.24 per diluted share ($2.31 per
basic share), compared with $13.6 million, or $1.33 per diluted share ($1.38 per
basic share) for the six months ended June 30, 1997.

Non-Recurring Items:

        Earnings  for the six  months  ended  June 30,  1998 were  significantly
improved by two  non-recurring  items.  In connection with the settlement on the
$12.8 million  underlying  co-operative  mortgage loan,  the Company  recognized
additional  pre-tax  income of $4.3  million  for the six months  ended June 30,
1998.

        Also, during the six months ended June 30, 1998, the Company experienced
a lower effective tax rate principally related to the second quarter realignment
of operations  involving an operating  subsidiary of the Bank. As a result,  net
income increased by $5.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 1998.

        Net interest  income for the six months  ended June 30, 1998,  was $36.3
million,  compared to $34.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997.  The
increase in net interest  income  reflects a $2.0  million  increase in interest
income,  and a $286,000  decrease in interest  expense.  The annualized yield on
interest  earning  assets  increased  to 7.67%,  compared to 7.49%,  for the six
months  ended  June 30,  1998 and 1997,  respectively,  while  average  interest
earning  assets  increased by $19.3  million.  The  annualized  cost of interest
bearing deposits  remained  unchanged at 3.56% for the six months ended June 30,
1998 and 1997. Average interest bearing deposits were $1.088 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1998  compared to $1.104  million for the six months ended
June 30, 1997.  For the year to date period  ended June 30,  1998,  the interest
rate spread and net interest margin increased to 4.11% and 5.00%,  respectively,
compared  to 3.93% and 4.75%,  respectively  for the six  months  ended June 30,
1997.

        Income earned on mortgage loans increased by $6.1 million,  or 17.0%, to
$42.4  million  for the six months  ended June 30,  1998,  reflecting  continued
growth in the mortgage loan portfolio.  This increase was partially  offset by a
decrease in the  mortgage  portfolio  yield to 8.33% (which  included  increased
accretion of deferred fees from mortgage payments) for the six months ended June
30, 1998, from 8.54% for the six months ended June 30, 1997.

        For the six  months  ended  June 30,  1998,  income  on debt and  equity
securities  decreased  by $3.6  million,  or 35.0%,  to $6.7  million from $10.3
million for the six months ended June 30, 1997. This decrease is the result of a
decrease  in the  average  investment  in U.S.  Government  and  federal  agency
securities and other investments of $129.8 million,  or 37.6%, to $215.5 million
for the first half of 1998,  compared to $345.3 million for the six months ended
June 30, 1997. The annualized  yield on the debt and equity  security  portfolio
increased to 6.20% from 5.95% for the  comparative  six month periods.  The debt
and  equity  securities  portfolio  activity  for the  current  period  included
purchases of $154.0  million and  maturities  of $270.0  million,  compared with
purchases of $244.9  million and maturities of $250.0 million for the six months
ended June 30, 1997.

        For the six months  ended June 30,  1998,  income on CMOs  decreased  by
28.4%, to $3.1 million,  with an annualized yield of 6.17%,  from income of $4.3
million  with an  annualized  yield of 5.89% for the six  months  ended June 30,
1997.  This decrease is reflective of the decrease in the average  investment in
the CMO  portfolio  of $46.0  million,  or 31.6% for the  comparative  six month
period.  During the six months ended June 30, 1998, the Bank received  principal
payments  of $35.6  million on CMOs,  compared  with $56.0  million  for the six
months ended June 30, 1997.  CMO  purchases  during the first six months of 1998
totaled $35.0 million, compared to $30.0 million for the first half of 1997. The
Bank did not sell any CMOs during either period.


  20

        Income on federal funds increased by $759,000, or 46.9%, to $2.4 million
for the six months  ended June 30,  1998,  from $1.6  million for the six months
ended June 30,  1997.  This  increase  resulted  from an increase in the average
investment in federal funds of $27.3  million,  to $88.0 million for the current
period,  compared with $60.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997. The
annualized  yield on federal  funds sold  increased to 5.40% for the current six
month period, compared to 5.34% for the six month period ended June 30, 1997.

        Interest expense on deposits decreased by 1.5%, to $19.4 million for the
six months  ended June 30,  1998,  compared to $19.7  million for the six months
ended June 30,  1997.  Average  interest  bearing  deposits  decreased  by $16.6
million,  or 1.5%,  to $1.088  billion for the six months  ended June 30,  1998,
compared to $1.104  billion for the six months  ended June 30,  1997,  while the
average rate paid on interest bearing deposits  remained  unchanged at 3.56% for
the comparative six month periods.

        The provision for possible loan losses for the six months ended June 30,
1998 was  $28,000,  compared to $321,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1997.
The provision for the six month period ending June 30, 1997 included  provisions
of $300,000  for the general  valuation  mortgage  allowance.  For the six month
period  ended  June 30,  1998,  management  made no  additions  to the  mortgage
allowance.  Management  regularly  evaluates the quality and  performance of the
Company's  asset   portfolios,   and  thereby  assesses  the  adequacy  of  loss
allowances,  which are  adjusted  through the  provisions.  (See Asset  Quality,
herein.)

        Total  non-interest  income  for the six  months  ended  June 30,  1998,
increased  to $7.5  million  from $2.7 million for the six months ended June 30,
1997, a net increase of $4.8 million,  or 181.5%.  The $4.3 million  recovery of
prior period expenses and unaccrued interest on troubled loans reflects payments
received  during  the first  half of 1998 from the final  settlement  on a $12.8
million underlying cooperative mortgage loan. (See Asset Quality,  herein.) Loan
fees and service charges increased by $870,000,  primarily reflecting prepayment
penalties  received by the Company  during the second  quarter of 1998 for three
large mortgage  loans;  partially  offset by decreases of $130,000 in prepayment
penalties  received by the Bank and $63,000 in personal check fees.  Real estate
operations  decreased  by $721,000,  primarily  the result of a decrease in real
estate  properties  owned by the Bank.  The $315,000  increase in  miscellaneous
income  reflects a refund of $264,000  for real estate taxes from prior years on
the  Company's  headquarters  and a $50,000  increase in  commissions  on loaned
securities.

        Non-interest expense remained relatively stable,  increasing by $32,000,
or 0.23%,  to $13.7  million  for the first six months of 1998  compared  to the
first  six  months  of  1997.  The  $291,000   increase  in  other  general  and
administrative  expense  reflects  increases  in  computer  related  expenses in
connection with the newer equipment.  The $139,000  decrease in compensation and
benefits reflects an increase in income earned on excess pension fund assets.

        The provision for income taxes  decreased by $1.9 million,  or 21.2%, to
$7.2 million for the six months  ended June 30, 1998,  from $9.1 million for the
six  months  ended June 30,  1997.  This  decrease  in taxes  accompanied  by an
increase in pre-tax income,  reflects a decrease in the Company's  effective tax
rate to 24.0% for the six  months  ended June 30,  1998,  from 40.3% for the six
months  ended  June 30,  1997.  The lower  effective  tax rate  resulted  from a
realignment of operations  involving an operating  subsidiary of the Bank.  This
realignment  may also  positively  impact (but to a lesser extent) the effective
tax rate  during  the  remainder  of 1998,  although  such  impact is  currently
uncertain.
