This presentation contains certain forward looking statements with respect to
the financial condition, results of operations and business of North Fork
following the consummation of the merger that are subject to various factors
which could cause actual results to differ materially from such projections or
estimates. Such factors include, but are not limited to, the possibility that
the anticipated cost savings, revenue enhancements and timing might not be
realized. Additionally, a deterioration in economic conditions adversely
effecting the interest rate environment could develop that may effect these
forward looking statements. North Fork's current report on Form 8-K filed on
August 16, 1999 discloses more fully these factors.
