NOTE 2 - DEBT, EQUITY AND MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES ("MBSs"). 
Under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 115,
"Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities,"
debt securities and MBSs which the Company has the ability and the
intent to hold until maturity, are carried at cost adjusted for
amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts.  Debt and
equity securities and MBSs to be held for indefinite periods of
time and not intended to be held to maturity or on a long-term
basis are classified as available for sale securities which are
recorded at fair value, with unrealized gains (losses) reported as
a separate component of stockholders' equity, net of taxes.

NOTE 3 - INTERCOUNTY MORTGAGE, INC.  On May 1, 1998 the Bank
completed the purchase of the production franchise of Intercounty
Mortgage, Inc. ("IMI") from Resource Bancshares Mortgage Group,
Inc. ("RBMG").  The Bank paid approximately $5.6 million for IMI's
production franchise and fixed assets.  The transaction will be
financed internally and accounted for under the purchase method. 
IMI primarily originates agency-eligible residential mortgages and
in 1997 had loan production of approximately $740 million from six
retail offices in New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania.  The
business will initially be run as a division of the Bank, operating
as "CFS Intercounty Mortgage Company."  The Bank intends to
supplement IMI's present product mix, which is primarily thirty-
year, fixed-rate product with the Bank's wider range of mortgage
products, including adjustable rate and jumbo mortgages.  The Bank
intends to retain a portion of IMI's ongoing loan production in its
portfolio.

At the annual meeting of stockholders on April 22, 1998, the
stockholders of the Company approved an amendment to the Haven
Bancorp, Inc. 1996 Stock Incentive Plan to increase the number of
shares of common stock of the Company that are available for
issuance pursuant to the Plan by 400,000 shares.  None of the
additional shares have been granted.

NOTE 5 - DIVIDENDS PAYABLE.  On March 24, 1998, the Company's Board
of Directors approved a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.075
per share, payable on April 23, 1998, to shareholders of record as
of April 3, 1998.

NOTE 6 - PREFERRED STOCK/COMMON STOCK.  At the annual meeting of
stockholders on April 22, 1998, the stockholders of the Company
approved an amendment of the Certificate of Incorporation of Haven
Bancorp, Inc. to increase the number of shares of stock that the
Company has the authority to issue to an aggregate of 32,000,000
(thirty-two million) shares, of which 30,000,000 (thirty million)
shares would be common stock and 2,000,000 (two million) shares
would be preferred stock.

NOTE 7 - RECENT ACCOUNTING/REGULATORY PRONOUNCEMENTS.  In June
1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 130,
"Reporting Comprehensive Income".  The statement establishes
standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income and its
components (revenue, expenses, gains and losses) in a full set of
general-purpose financial statements.  Comprehensive income is
defined as the change in equity of a business enterprise during a
period from transactions and other events and circumstances from

                                                             10

nonowner sources.  It includes all changes in equity during a
period except those resulting from investments by owners and
distributions to owners.  The Company has adopted the provisions of
SFAS No. 130 during the first quarter of 1998 and as such was
required to: (a) classify items of other comprehensive income by
their nature in a financial statement; (b) display the accumulated
balance of other comprehensive income separately from retained
earnings and additional paid-in capital in the equity section in
its statement of financial condition; and (c) reclassify prior
periods presented (see Note 9).

In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information."  SFAS No. 131
requires that enterprises report certain financial and descriptive
information about operating segments in complete sets of financial
statements of the Company and in condensed financial statements of
interim periods issued to stockholders.  SFAS No. 131 also requires
that enterprises report certain information about their products
and services, geographic areas in which they operate, and their
major customers.  SFAS No. 131 is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 1997 but does not have to be applied
to interim financial statements in the initial year of application. 
As the requirements of SFAS No. 131 are disclosure-related, its
implementation will have no impact on the Company's financial
condition or results of operations.

In February 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 132, "Employers
Disclosures about Pensions and Other Post-Retirement Benefits". 
SFAS No. 132 revises employers' disclosures about pension and other
postretirement benefit plans, but does not change the measurement
or recognition of those plans.  SFAS No. 132 also standardizes the
disclosure requirements for pensions and other postretirement
benefits to the extent practicable, requires additional information
on changes in the benefit obligations and fair values of plan
assets that will facilitate financial analysis, and eliminates
certain disclosures that are no longer as useful.  SFAS No. 132 is
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997 and
requires restatement of prior periods presented.  As the
requirements of SFAS No. 132 are disclosure related, its
implementation will have no impact on the Company's financial
condition or results of operations.

NOTE 8 - NET INCOME PER SHARE OF COMMON STOCK.  There were
8,526,864 basic shares outstanding and 9,129,745 diluted shares
outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 1998.  The
weighted average number of shares outstanding does not include
290,153 shares which are unallocated by the Employee Stock
Ownership Plan ("ESOP") as of March 31, 1998 in accordance with
American Institute of CPAs ("AICPA") Statement of Position ("SOP")
93-6, "Employers' Accounting for ESOPs".  Basic EPS excludes
dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common

                                                             11

stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding for the relevant period.  Diluted EPS reflects the
potential dilution that could occur if securities or other
contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into
common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then
shared in the earnings of the entity.

NOTE 9 - COMPREHENSIVE INCOME.  Comprehensive income, as discussed
in Note 7, was $878,000 and $1.0 million for the three month
periods ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

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

                        GENERAL

Haven Bancorp, Inc. ("Haven Bancorp" or the "Company") is the
holding company for CFS Bank (formerly Columbia Federal Savings
Bank) ("CFS" or the "Bank"), a federally chartered stock savings
bank.  CFS converted from a mutual to a stock savings bank on
September 23, 1993 in conjunction with the issuance of the Bank's
capital stock to Haven Bancorp.  

Haven Bancorp's business currently consists of the business of the
Bank.  The Bank's principal business has been and continues to be
attracting retail deposits from the general public and investing
those deposits, together with funds generated from operations
primarily in one-to four-family, owner occupied residential
mortgage loans.  In addition, in times of low loan demand, the Bank
will invest in debt, equity and mortgage-backed securities ("MBSs")
to supplement its lending portfolio.  The Bank also invests, to a
lesser extent, in multi-family residential mortgage loans,
commercial real estate loans, equity lines of credit and other
marketable securities.  The Bank's results of operations are
dependent primarily on its net interest income, which is the
difference between the interest income earned on its loan and
securities portfolios and its cost of funds, which primarily
consist of the interest paid on its deposits and borrowed funds. 
The Bank's net income also is affected by its provision for loan
losses as well as non-interest income and operating expenses
consisting primarily of compensation and benefits, occupancy and
equipment, real estate owned operations, net, federal deposit
insurance premiums and other general and administrative expenses. 
The earnings of the Bank are significantly affected by general
economic and competitive conditions, particularly changes in market
interest rates, and to a lesser extent by government policies and
actions of regulatory authorities.





                                                             12

          ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION CHANGES FROM
              DECEMBER 31, 1997 TO MARCH 31, 1998

                            ASSETS

Total assets increased by $42.9  million, or 2.2% to $2.0 billion
at March 31, 1998.  Cash and due from banks increased by $8.7
million to $44.5 million at March 31, 1998.  Securities available
for sale ("AFS") increased by $11.7 million, or 2.3% to $511.1
million at March 31, 1998 from $499.4 million at December 31, 1997
resulting primarily due to purchases during the quarter in the AFS
portfolio.  During the quarter ended March 31, 1998, the Bank
purchased $172.6 million of MBSs and $13.9 million of government
agency securities for its AFS portfolio.  The emphasis on MBS
securities was due to the availability of more favorable rates and
shorter durations.  These increases were partially offset by sales
and principal repayments of $123.2 million and $50.4 million,
respectively.  Debt securities held to maturity declined by $16.0
million, or 24.1% to $50.4 million at March 31, 1998 from $66.4
million at December 31, 1997 due to principal repayments,
maturities and calls.  MBSs held to maturity declined by $10.6
million, or 6.5% to $152.5 million at March 31, 1998 from $163.1
million at December 31, 1997 also due to principal repayments on
the portfolio.  There were no purchases of debt securities or MBSs
held to maturity during the quarter.

Net loans increased by $42.6 million, or 3.7% to $1.2 billion at
March 31, 1998 from $1.1 billion at December 31, 1997.  Loan
originations during the quarter totaled $97.6 million (comprised of
$68.6 million of residential one-to four-family mortgage loans,
$3.1 million of equity loans and lines of credit, $21.2 million of
multi-family loans and $4.7 million of commercial real estate
loans).  Originations of residential one-to four-family mortgage
loans included purchases of $16.1 million of primarily adjustable
rate residential loans in the secondary market.  During the first
quarter of 1998, principal repayments totaled $52.4 million,
$323,000 was transferred to REO and $1.7 million of loans were sold
in the secondary market.

                         LIABILITIES

Deposits increased by $109.8 million, or 8.0% to $1.4 billion
between December 31, 1997 and March 31, 1998 primarily due to
deposit inflows in the Bank's in-store supermarket bank branches
which had deposits totaling $238.2 million at March 31, 1998
compared to $157.2 million at December 31, 1997.  The Bank had
thirty-nine in-store bank branches open as of March 31, 1998
compared to thirty-two in-store branches at December 31, 1997.  The
Bank expects to open twenty in-store branches during the remainder
of 1998.  Core deposits (comprised of checking, savings and money 


                                                             13

market accounts) were 31.2% of total in-store branch deposits at
March 31, 1998 compared to a ratio of 46.1% in the Bank's nine
traditional branches.  Overall, core deposits represented 43.8% of
total deposits at March 31, 1998 compared to 42.7% at December 31,
1997.  Borrowed funds decreased by $66.9 million, or 14.3% to
$399.9 million at March 31, 1998 from $466.8 million at December
31, 1997 primarily due to the repayment of short-term borrowings
during the first quarter.  To accommodate strong loan demand during
the period, the Company elected to maintain a high level of
liquidity.

                    STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

Haven Bancorp's stockholders' equity increased to $114.1 million at
March 31, 1998 from $112.9 million at December 31, 1997.  The
increase in stockholders' equity was due to net income of $2.1
million for the quarter and the allocation of ESOP stock due to the
reduction of the Bank's ESOP debt and the amortization of awards of
shares of stock by the Bank's RRPs and amortization of deferred
compensation plan which increased stockholders' equity by $490,000. 
In addition, stockholders equity increased $418,000 due to stock
options exercised during the quarter.  This increase was partially
offset by a decrease of $1.3 million in the unrealized gain on
securities available for sale and dividends declared of $550,000.

The decrease in non-performing assets was primarily due to a
reduction of $1.6 million in non-accrual multi-family loans.  The
ratio of non-performing loans to total loans decreased primarily
due to the increase of $43.0 million in total loans during the

                                                              15

quarter.  The decrease in the ratio of non-performing assets to
total assets was primarily due to the increase of $42.9 million in
total assets during the quarter.  The ratio of non-performing loans
to total assets decreased primarily due to the increase of $42.9
million in total assets and a reduction of $1.7 million in non-
performing loans between year-end 1997 and March 31, 1998.

The Bank maintains an allowance for loan losses and an allowance
for REO, which it believes are adequate for potential losses at
each period end.  Management's judgment as to potential losses is
based on its review of the loan and REO portfolios and its judgment
regarding prevailing and anticipated economic conditions and a
variety of other factors which have an impact on those portfolios. 
Although management believes that the allowances are adequate as of
the period end, additional provisions may be required in the
future.

                ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

The following table sets forth the changes in the allowance for
loan losses for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997:

The ratio of net charge-offs to average loans outstanding during
the first quarter of 1998 increased compared to the same period in
1997 due to the fact that the Bank experienced net charge-offs of
$282,000 for the first quarter of 1998 compared to net recoveries
of $46,000 for the first quarter of 1997.  The ratio of allowance
for loan losses to total loans decreased for the quarter due to the
increase in average loans outstanding for the quarter.  The ratio
of allowance for loan losses to non-performing loans increased
between the periods due to an increase of $1.5 million in the
allowance for loan losses and a decrease of $1.7 million in non-
performing loans.  The Bank's allowance for loan losses was $12.9
million and $12.5 million at March 31, 1998 and December 31, 1997,
respectively, while non-performing loans totaled $10.8 million and
$12.5 million, respectively, at those dates.

                  ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT

The Company has attempted to reduce its exposure to interest rate
risk through the origination and purchase of ARM loans and the
purchase of adjustable-rate securities which are expected to help
protect net interest margins during periods of rising interest
rates.  During the first quarter of 1998, the Bank originated or
purchased $14.6 million of residential adjustable-rate mortgages. 
During the quarter, the Bank sold $123.2 million in securities from
its AFS portfolio, most of which were fixed-rate securities, to
improve yield by purchasing fixed-rate securities bearing higher
yields with shorter durations to improve its interest rate risk
profile.  The Bank purchased fixed-rate debt securities and MBSs to
take advantage of higher yields compared to rates offered on
adjustable rate securities.  At March 31, 1998, $219.8 million, or
40.6% of the Company's MBS portfolio were adjustable-rate MBSs.  In
addition, $45.4 million, or 26.3% of the Company's debt and equity
securities portfolio were floating rate securities.

Historically, the Company has been able to maintain a substantial
level of core deposits (comprised of checking, savings and money
market accounts) which the Company believes helps to limit interest
rate risk by providing a relatively stable, low cost, long-term
funding base.  At March 31, 1998, core deposits represented 43.8%
of deposits compared to 42.7% of deposits at December 31, 1997. 
During the first quarter of 1998, savings accounts increased by
$14.3 million, net of interest and certificates of deposit
increased by $67.0 million, net of interest.  The number of
checking accounts increased by 13,672, or 14.0% to 111,534 at March
31, 1998 from 97,862 at December 31, 1997.  Most of the increase,
12,192 accounts, is attributable to the Bank's in-store bank
branches.  The amount of certificate accounts outstanding at March
31, 1998 was $859.9 million compared to $781.6 million at December
31, 1997.  The Company expects to attract a higher percentage of
core deposits from its in-store bank branch locations as the
supermarket branching program continues to grow and mature.

                                                              17

                   LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL

The Bank is required to maintain minimum levels of liquid assets as
defined by the OTS regulations.  This requirement, which may be
varied by the OTS depending upon economic conditions and deposit
flows, is based upon a percentage of withdrawable deposits and
short-term borrowings.  The required ratio is currently 4%.  The
Bank's ratio was 8.77% at March 31, 1998 compared to 8.94% at
December 31, 1997.

The Company's primary sources of funds are deposits, principal and
interest payments on loans and MBSs, retained earnings and advances
from FHLB-NY.  Proceeds from the sale of AFS securities are also a
source of funding, as are, to a lesser extent, the sales of
annuities and securities brokerage activities conducted by the
Bank's subsidiary, CFS Investments, Inc. ("CFSI").  While
maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and MBSs are
somewhat predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and mortgage
prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates,
economic conditions, competition and regulatory changes.

The Company's most liquid assets are cash and short term
investments.  The levels of these assets are dependent on the
Company's operating, financing, lending and investing activities
during any given period.  At March 31, 1998 and December 31, 1997,
cash and short and intermediate-term investments totaled $52.2
million and $40.3 million, respectively.

The Company and the Bank have other sources of liquidity which
include debt securities maturing within one year, mortgage loans
and MBSs AFS.  Other sources of funds include FHLB advances, which
at March 31, 1998, totaled $196.0 million.  At March 31, 1998, the
Bank had unused lines of credit totaling $54.9 million with the
FHLB of New York.

As of March 31, 1998, the Bank exceeded all regulatory capital
requirements as detailed in the following table:

(1)  Tangible and core capital are shown as a percentage of total
adjusted assets.  Risk-based capital levels are shown as a
percentage of risk-weighted assets.
                                                             18

(2)  The OTS has incorporated an interest rate risk component into
its regulatory capital rule.  Under the rule, saving associations
with "above normal" interest rate risk exposure would be subject to
a deduction from total capital for purposes of calculating their
risk-based capital requirements.  The OTS has postponed the date
that the component will first be deducted from an institution's
total capital until an appeals process is developed for the
measurement of an institution's interest rate risk.  The Bank does
not anticipate that the new rule, when implemented, will have a
material effect on the Bank's risk-based capital.

(3)  Consistent with the minimum ratio to be deemed "adequately
capitalized", the required amount is based on 4%.  Failure to meet
the capital requirements or to be deemed undercapitalized exposes
an institution to regulatory sanctions, including limitations on
asset growth.

                  ANALYSIS OF CORE EARNINGS

The Company's profitability is primarily dependent upon net
interest income, which represents the difference between interest
and fees earned on loans, MBSs and debt and equity securities, and
the cost of deposits and borrowings.  Net interest income is
dependent on the difference between the average balances and rates
earned on interest-earning assets and the average balances and
rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities.  Net income is further
affected by non-interest income, non-interest expense and income
taxes.
























                                                              19

The following table sets forth certain information relating to the
Company's average consolidated statements of financial condition
and reflects the average yield on assets and average cost of
liabilities for the periods indicated.  Such yields and costs are
derived by dividing income or expense annualized by the average
balance of assets or liabilities, respectively, for the periods
shown.  Average balances were derived from average daily balances. 
The average balance of loans includes loans on which the Company
has discontinued accruing interest.  The yields and costs include
fees which are considered adjustments to yields.

      COMPARISON OF OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE THREE MONTHS 
                 ENDED MARCH 31, 1998 AND 1997

GENERAL.  The Company reported net income of $2.1 million for the
three months ended March 31, 1998 compared to net income of $3.3
million for the three months ended March 31, 1997.  The decrease
was primarily attributable to an increase of $5.0 million in non-
interest expense and an increase of $5.1 million in interest
expense.  These increases were partially offset by increases in
interest income and non-interest income of $6.2 million and $2.1
million, respectively, from the prior year period.  Finally, the
provision for tax expense decreased $611,000 from the same period
last year due to a decrease of $1.8 million in pre-tax income.

INTEREST INCOME.  Interest income increased by $6.2 million, or
21.4% to $35.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 1998
from $28.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 1997.  The
increase was primarily the result of a $5.2 million increase in
interest income on mortgage loans and an increase of $1.9 million
in interest income on MBS securities.  These increases were
partially offset by decreases in interest income on debt and equity
securities and other loans of $862,000 and $28,000, respectively.

Interest income on mortgage loans increased by $5.2 million, or
31.1% to $21.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 1998,
from $16.6 million for the comparable three-month period in 1997. 
The increase was primarily the result of an increase in the average
balance of mortgage loans of $301.0 million, partially offset by a
decline in the average yield of 28 basis points from the first
quarter of 1997.  The increase in the average balance of mortgage
loans between the periods was primarily due to mortgage
originations, including purchases, for the entire year of 1997 and
the first quarter of 1998 which totaled $459.8 million and $94.5 
million, respectively.  These originations included one-to four-
family mortgage loans purchased in the secondary market totaling
$200.9 million and $16.1 million, respectively.  The originations
for both periods were partially offset by principal payments of
$151.2 million and $49.8 million, respectively.  The decline in the
average yield from the prior year was primarily due to the
increasing percentage of relatively lower yielding residential
mortgages to total mortgages, from 71.9% at March 31, 1997 to 73.4%
of total at March 31, 1998 and the general decline in market
interest rates.

Interest income on MBSs increased by $1.9 million, or 26.8% to $8.9
million for the three months ended March 31, 1998 from $7.0 million
for the comparable three-month period in 1997 primarily due to an
increase of $119.9 million in the average balance of MBSs which was
offset by a decrease in the average yield of 10 basis points. 
During the first quarter of 1998, the Bank purchased $172.6 million


                                                             21

of MBSs for its AFS portfolio which were partially offset by sales
totaling $118.2 million.  During the quarter ended March 31, 1998,
$31.6 million of MBS securities were called primarily due to the
decline in market rates and subsequently replaced with securities
with an average yield that was approximately 17 basis points lower
than the securities previously called.  During the quarter ended
March 31, 1998, the Bank purchased a total of $186.5 million of
securities for its AFS portfolio.  The emphasis on MBS securities
over debt and equity securities was due to the availability of
competitive rates along with shorter durations.

Interest income on debt and equity securities decreased by
$862,000, or 20.2% to $3.4 million for the three months ended March
31, 1998 from $4.3 million for the comparable three-month period in
1997 primarily as a result of a decrease in average balances of
$53.6 million.  During the first quarter of 1998, the Bank
purchased $13.9 million of debt and equity securities for the AFS
portfolio whereas sales, maturities and calls totaled $24.1
million.  In addition, principal payments, maturities and calls on
debt securities held to maturity totaled $16.0 million for the
quarter.

INTEREST EXPENSE.  Interest expense increased by $5.1 million, or
31.1% to $21.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 1998
from $16.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 1997.  The
increase was primarily the result of a $3.7 million increase in
interest expense on deposits and an increase of $1.4 million in
interest expense on borrowings.

Interest on deposits increased by $3.7 million, or 32.3% to $15.0
million for the three months ended March 31, 1998 from $11.3
million for the comparable three-month period in 1997.  The
increase in interest on deposits was primarily due to the increased
average balance of $279.6 million.  The deposit growth is partly
attributable to the Bank's in-store banking program which was
implemented during the second quarter of 1996.  At March 31, 1998,
the Bank had thirty-nine in-store bank branches operating with
combined deposits totaling $238.2 million.  The increase in average
balance was primarily due to certificate account balances which
increased by $218.3 million, or 36.0% to $824.8 million for the
three months ended March 31, 1998 from $606.5 million for the
comparable three-month period in 1997.  The average cost of
certificate accounts was 5.75% for the first quarter of 1998
compared to 5.59% for the first quarter of 1997.  Interest expense
on certificate accounts increased by $3.4 million, or 40.1% to
$11.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 1998 from $8.5
million in the same period in 1997.  Interest expense on savings
accounts increased by $188,000, or 8.4% to $2.4 million for the
three months ended March 31, 1998 from $2.2 million in the same
period in 1997 primarily due to an increase in average balance due
to the Bank's in-store branches which had $45.6 million in savings 

                                                             22

balances as of March 31, 1998 compared to $6.5 million as of March
31, 1997.  The average balance of savings accounts increased by
$22.2 million, or 6.1% to $384.7 million for the three months ended
March 31, 1998 from $362.5 million for the first quarter of 1997. 
The average cost of savings accounts increased by 5 basis points to
2.51% for the period ended March 31, 1998 from 2.46% for the period
ended March 31, 1997.  The average cost of all deposits was 4.20%
for the three months ended March 31, 1998 compared to 3.95% for the
first quarter of 1997.

Interest on borrowed funds increased by $1.4 million, or 28.6% to
$6.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 1998 from $5.1
million for the comparable three-month period in 1997.  Borrowed
funds on an average basis increased by $77.4 million between the
periods primarily due to the addition of short-term FHLB advances
and securities sold under agreements to repurchase during 1998 in
order to compliment deposit growth as a funding mechanism for
mortgage loan originations.  The average rate paid on borrowings
increased to 6.01% for the three months ended March 31, 1998 from
5.69% for the comparable prior-year period primarily due to the
effect in 1998 of a full quarter of $25.0 million of 10.46% Capital
Securities issued by Haven Capital Trust I in February 1997.

NET INTEREST INCOME.  Net interest income increased by $1.1
million, or 8.6% to $13.5 million for the three months ended March
31, 1998 from $12.4 million for the three months ended March 31,
1997.  The increase is primarily due to total interest-earning
assets which increased by $367.6 million, or 23.7% to $1.9 billion
for the three months ended March 31, 1998 from $1.5 billion for the
same period last year mainly due to growth in the Bank's
residential mortgage loan portfolio.  This was partially offset by
the average yield on interest-earning assets which decreased to 
7.30% from 7.44% for the three month periods.  In addition, the
average cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased to 4.63%
from 4.37% for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997,
respectively.  Therefore, the net interest spread was 2.67% for the
three months ended March 31, 1998 compared to 3.07% for the
comparable period in 1997.  It is unclear how the recent trends in
market interest rates, particularly the flat yield curve, will
impact net interest income for the remainder of 1998.  The
differential between the thirty year Treasury Bond and the two year
Treasury Note, which are key indices regarding yield curve
analyses, was 63 basis points on September 30, 1997, compared to 37
basis points on March 31, 1998.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES.  The Bank provided $670,000 for loan
losses for the three months ended March 31, 1998 compared to
$700,000 for the comparable three-month period in 1997.  The
provision for loan losses represents management's periodic review
and evaluation of the loan portfolio.


                                                             23

NON-INTEREST INCOME.  Non-interest income increased by $2.1
million, or 91.6% for the three months ended March 31, 1998 to $4.4
million from $2.3 million for the comparable three-month period in
1997.  Insurance, annuity and mutual fund fees increased by
$387,000 due to an increase in sales volume, including $330,000 in
revenues from in-store bank branches.  Savings and checking fees
increased by $751,000 due to the increase in the number of checking
accounts during the period.  The in-store bank branches generated
savings/ checking fees of $1.0 million in the first quarter of
1998.  During the quarter ended March 31, 1998, the Bank realized
a net gain of $352,000 on the sale of interest-earning assets,
whereas a net loss of $24,000 was incurred for the same period last
year.  Loan fees and servicing income increased by $268,000, or
107.2% for the three months ended March 31, 1998 to $518,000 from
$250,000 for the same period in 1997 primarily due to a prepayment
fee of $280,000 on a commercial real estate loan.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSE.  Non-interest expense increased by $5.0
million, or 55.1% for the three months ended March 31, 1998 to
$14.1 million from $9.1 million for the comparable three-month
period in 1997.  The increase is primarily due to the Bank's in-
store branch program which increased operating costs by
approximately $3.2 million.  Compensation and benefit costs
increased by $2.6 million, or 51.5% to $7.6 million for the three
months ended March 31, 1998 from $5.0 million for the same period
last year.  The in-store branch expansion accounted for $1.5
million of the increase in compensation costs.  The remainder of
the increase in compensation and benefit costs was due to an
increase in salary costs for CFSI due to sales volume, normal merit
increases and general staff increases due to the Company's growth. 
Additionally, ESOP compensation increased due to the increase in
the average price of Haven Bancorp common stock during the quarter. 
Occupancy and equipment costs increased by $1.2 million, or 123.7%
to $2.2 million for the first quarter of 1998 from $992,000 for the
same period last year due to the addition of twenty-two supermarket
branches during 1997 and seven branches during the first quarter of
1998.  Other operating costs increased by $1.3 million, or 45.3% to
$4.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 1998 from $2.8
million for the same period last year.  Miscellaneous operating
expenses, including stationery, telephone, postage and insurance,
increased by $392,000 and consulting fees increased $51,000 from
1997 primarily due to the in-store branch program.  Advertising
costs and costs incurred for computer processing increased $169,000
and $170,000, respectively, due to the growth in the deposit base
over the last twelve months.  Finally, costs incurred by the Bank's
subsidiary, CFSI, increased $117,000 due to higher sales volume.

INCOME TAX EXPENSE.  Income tax expense was $1.1 million for an
effective tax rate of 33.2% for the three months ended March 31,
1998 compared to income tax expense of $1.7 million for an
effective tax rate of 33.7% for the comparable period in 1997. 

                                                             24

COMPUTER ISSUES FOR THE YEAR 2000.  As a financial services
company, the Bank is aware of the potential issues the year 2000
could have on its computer systems and programs.  During fiscal
year 1997, the Bank initiated a review of its computer systems and
programs to determine which, if any, systems and programs are not
capable of recognizing the year 2000.  Communications were
initiated with all of the Bank's vendors that supply the Bank with
these systems and programs.  The Bank's efforts to determine what,
if any, issues exist have been substantially completed.  Where the
potential computer issues for the year 2000 have been identified,
vendors have committed to resolving such issues by no later than
December 31, 1998.  Management has not yet determined the total
financial impact of resolving year 2000 computer issues.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK
In management's opinion, there has not been a material change in
market risk from December 31, 1997 as reported in item 7A of the
Company's Form 10-K.


               PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
In February, 1983, a burglary of the contents of safe deposit boxes
occurred at a branch office of the Bank.  At March 31, 1998, the
Bank has a class action lawsuit related thereto pending, whereby
the plaintiffs are seeking recovery of approximately $12.9 million
in actual damages and an additional $12.9 million of unspecified
damages.  The Banks ultimate liability, if any, which might arise
from the disposition of these claims cannot presently be
determined.  Management believes it has meritorious defenses
against these actions and has and will continue to defend its
position.  Accordingly, no provision for any liability that may
result upon adjudication has been recognized in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements.

The Company is involved in various other legal actions arising in
the ordinary course of business, which in the aggregate, are
believed by management to be immaterial to the financial position
of the Company.
