Moody's Upgrades Astoria Financial Corporation's Senior Debt

same time, the deposits of Astoria Federal were upgraded as follows: long-
term deposits to A3 from Baa1 and short-term deposits to Prime-1 from Prime-2.
According to Moody's, the upgrade is based on, among other things, Astoria's
demonstrated ability to continue to enhance its healthy low-cost core deposit
franchise in Long Island, Brooklyn and Queens, a particularly competitive
market.
Balance Sheet Summary
Total assets increased to $22.8 billion at September 30, 2004 from $22.3
billion at June 30, 2004 and $22.5 billion at December 31, 2003. Total loans
increased to $12.8 billion at September 30, 2004 from $12.6 billion at June
30, 2004 and $12.7 billion at December 31, 2003. Mortgage loan originations
and purchases for the quarter ended September 30, 2004 totaled $1.0 billion
compared to $2.3 billion for the 2003 third quarter, of which $635.3 million
and $1.7 billion, respectively, were one-to-four family loans, predominately
3/1 and 5/1 adjustable rate loans. For the nine months ended September 30,
2004, mortgage loan originations and purchases totaled $3.1 billion compared
to $5.8 billion for the comparable 2003 period of which $2.2 billion and $4.6
billion, respectively, were one-to-four family loans. The decrease in
mortgage loan volume was due to reduced mortgage loan refinance activity due
to higher interest rates in 2004 as compared to 2003. Mortgage loan
prepayments for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2004 totaled
$691.1 million and $2.4 billion, respectively, compared to $1.5 billion and
$4.3 billion for the respective 2003 periods.
For the quarter ended September 30, 2004, multifamily and CRE loan
originations totaled $349.8 million compared to $556.6 million for the 2003
third quarter. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2004,
multifamily and CRE loan originations totaled $863.8 million compared to $1.2
billion for the 2003 nine month period. The multifamily and CRE loan
portfolio grew $138.1 million, or 17% on an annualized basis, from June 30,
2004 and $334.4 million, or 14% on an annualized basis, from December 31,
2003, and totals $3.4 billion, or 27% of total loans, at September 30, 2004.
The average loan-to-value ratio of the combined multifamily and CRE loan
portfolios continues to be less than 65%, based on current principal balance
and original appraised value, and the average loan balance is less than $1
million.
The Company's strong multifamily and CRE lending capabilities are
reflected in the growth of these portfolios since 1999:

At September 30, 2004, non-performing loans totaled $27.0 million, or
0.12% of total assets compared to $33.3 million, or 0.15% of total assets, at
September 30, 2003. Net charge-offs for the quarter and nine months ended
September 30, 2004 totaled $15,000 and $318,000, respectively, or an
annualized rate of less than one basis point of average total loans
outstanding. The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to non-performing
loans at September 30, 2004 was 307%.
Mortgage-backed securities ("MBS") increased $318.5 million from the
previous quarter and $278.7 million from December 31, 2003 and total $8.5
billion, or 37% of total assets, at September 30, 2004. Of the total, $2.3
billion, equal to 10% of total assets, are categorized as available-for-sale.
The increase in MBS was primarily due to slower than expected cash flow.

Deposits increased $274.2 million, or 9% on an annualized basis, from
June 30, 2004 and $983.3 million, or 12% annualized from December 31, 2003 to
$12.2 billion at September 30, 2004. The increases for the quarter and nine
months were primarily due to increases of $393.2 million and $1.2 billion,
respectively, in CD accounts which total $6.7 billion at September 30, 2004.
The growth reflects the continued success of a marketing campaign that has
focused on attracting medium and long-term deposits. During the third quarter
of 2004, $706.5 million of CDs with a weighted average rate of 1.88% and an
average original term of 15 months matured and $1.0 billion of CDs were issued
or repriced at a weighted average rate of 2.67% for an average term of 19
months. For the nine months ended September 30, 2004, $2.9 billion of CDs,
with a weighted average rate of 2.21% and an average original term of 14
months matured and $3.9 billion of CDs were issued or repriced at a weighted
average rate of 2.62% for an average term of 20 months. "The CD marketing
campaign, in addition to providing the funding to help manage interest rate
risk, continues to produce new customers from our communities, creating
relationship development opportunities," Mr. Engelke noted. Checking account
deposits totaled $1.5 billion at September 30, 2004 for 2002 and increased
$40.5 million, or 4% annualized from December 31, 2003. Additionally, our
small business banking initiatives continue to result in solid growth of
business deposits. Business deposits, including savings and checking
accounts, totaled $281.3 million at September 30, 2004 and increased
$44.2 million, or 25% annualized from December 31, 2003.
Borrowings totaled $8.9 billion at September 30, 2004, or 39% of total
assets, an increase of $116.2 million from the previous quarter and a decrease
of $712.1 million from December 31, 2003.
Stockholders' equity was $1.4 billion, or 6.09% of total assets at
September 30, 2004. Astoria Federal continues to maintain capital ratios in
excess of regulatory requirements with core, tangible and risk-based capital
ratios of 6.85%, 6.85% and 14.16%, respectively, at September 30, 2004.
Third Quarter and Nine Month Earnings Summary
Net interest income for the quarter ended September 30, 2004 increased 53%
to $121.9 million from $79.6 million for the 2003 third quarter and for the
nine months ended September 30, 2004 increased 23% to $349.7 million from
$284.9 million for the comparable 2003 nine-month period.
Astoria's net interest margin for the quarter ended September 30, 2004 was
2.25% compared to 2.13% on a linked quarter basis and 1.52% for the prior year
quarter. The linked quarter and year over year increases in the net interest
margin are primarily attributable to lower premium amortization expense. Net
premium amortization expense decreased 55% to $5.7 million for the 2004 third
quarter from $12.7 million in the prior quarter and declined $29.0 million, or
84%, from the year ago third quarter. For the nine months ended September 30,
2004, net premium amortization expense declined 71%, or $66.9 million, to
$26.7 million from $93.6 million for the comparable 2003 nine month period.

Non-interest income for the quarter and nine months ended September 30,
2004 totaled $24.0 million and $74.0 million, respectively, compared to $33.9
million and $91.3 million, respectively, for the comparable 2003 periods. The
decreases for the three and nine month periods were primarily due to lower
mortgage banking income, net, and lower net gain on sales of securities. Net
gain on sales of securities for the quarter and nine months ended September
30, 2004 totaled $2.3 million and $4.7 million, respectively, compared to $4.5
million and $14.7 million, respectively, for the comparable 2003 periods.
Customer service fees for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2004
totaled $15.3 million and $43.6 million, respectively, compared to $15.1

General and administrative expense ("G&A") for the quarter and nine months
ended September 30, 2004 totaled $59.2 million and $171.6 million,
respectively, compared to $51.4 million and $155.2 million, respectively, for
the comparable 2003 periods. The increases for the 2004 third quarter and
nine month period are primarily due to increased compensation and benefits
expense, increased occupancy, equipment and systems expense, due to, among
other things, systems enhancements over the past year and a previously
announced third quarter $3.2 million, pre-tax, arbitration award settlement.
Future Outlook
Commenting on the outlook for the remainder of 2004, Mr. Engelke stated,
"In the current environment of low long-term interest rates, purchase mortgage
activity continues to remain strong and represented 61% of our third quarter
residential mortgage loan applications. With continued mortgage loan
origination activity, we should experience good core business balance sheet
and net interest income growth. The continued flattening of the U.S. Treasury
yield curve, however, will temper near-term margin expansion. We will remain
focused on building our core businesses, with particular emphasis on growing
our deposits and increasing the 1-4 family, multifamily and CRE loan
portfolios."
