         NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION.  The accompanying unaudited
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Haven
Bancorp, Inc. ("Haven Bancorp" or the "Company") and its wholly-
owned subsidiaries, including CFS Bank ("CFS" or the "Bank") as of
March 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998 and for the three-month period
ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.  Material intercompany
accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles for interim financial information and with the
instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. 
Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for
complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all
necessary adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring accruals
necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  The results
of operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 1999 are
not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for
the entire fiscal year.

These consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and
notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report to
Stockholders for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998.


NOTE 2 - DEBT, EQUITY AND MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES ("MBSs").  
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), net of tax,
reported as accumulated other comprehensive income, a separate
component of stockholders' equity.  At March 31, 1999 and December
31, 1998, all of the Company's debt, equity and mortgage-backed
securities were classified as available for sale.

The net unrealized loss on securities available for sale at March
31, 1999, was reported as a separate component of stockholders'
equity, in the amount of $2.1 million which is net of a tax effect
of $1.3 million.

NOTE 3 - CAPITAL SECURITIES.  On April 13, 1999, Haven Bancorp,
Inc. filed a registration statement with the Securities and
Exchange Commission to issue $35.0 million of capital securities
through Haven Capital Trust II.  The registration statement
relating to these securities has been filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission but has not yet become effective.  The Company
currently intends to use the net proceeds from the sale of the
capital securities to invest in the Bank to increase its capital
level.  The increased capital will enable the Bank to expand its
deposit base and also invest in residential and commercial real
estate loans in its market area and in investment-grade mortgage-
backed and investment securities.  It is also possible that, if the
Company's Board of Directors determines that it is in the best
interest of its shareholders, a portion of the net proceeds may be
used for repurchases of the Company's stock.

NOTE 5 - DIVIDENDS PAYABLE.  On March 24, 1999, the Company's Board
of Directors approved a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.075
per share, payable on April 23, 1999, to shareholders of record as
of April 3, 1999.

NOTE 6 - RECENT ACCOUNTING/REGULATORY PRONOUNCEMENTS.  In June
1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities". 
SFAS No. 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards for
derivative instruments and for hedging activities.  It requires
that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or
liabilities in the statement of financial condition and measure
those instruments at fair value.  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. 
SFAS No. 133 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15,
1999 and does not require restatement of prior periods.  Management
of the Company currently believes the implementation of SFAS No.
133 will not have a material impact on the Company's financial
condition or results of operations.

NOTE 7 - NET INCOME PER SHARE OF COMMON STOCK.  There were
8,634,171 basic shares outstanding and 9,021,614 diluted shares
outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 1999.  The
weighted average number of shares outstanding does not include
229,769 shares which are unallocated by the Employee Stock
Ownership Plan ("ESOP") as of March 31, 1999 in accordance with
American Institute of CPAs ("AICPA") Statement of Position ("SOP")
93-6, "Employers' Accounting for ESOPs".  Basic EPS excludes

                                                              9

dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common
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 8 - COMPREHENSIVE (LOSS) INCOME.  Comprehensive (loss) income
was $(452,000) and $878,000 for the three month periods ended March
31, 1999 and 1998, 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 Insurance Agency, Inc. and CFS 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 primarily 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, 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 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 consists of the interest paid on its deposits and
borrowed funds.  The Bank's net income also is affected by its non-
interest income, including servicing released premiums and fees on
loans sold in the secondary market, its provision for loan losses
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.

          ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION CHANGES FROM
              DECEMBER 31, 1998 TO MARCH 31, 1999

                            ASSETS

Total assets increased by $154.6 million, or 6.5% to $2.55 billion
at March 31, 1999 from $2.40 billion at December 31, 1998. 
Securities available for sale ("AFS") increased by $51.8 million,
or 5.8% to $941.0 million at March 31, 1999 from $889.2 million at
December 31, 1998 resulting primarily due to purchases during the
quarter for the AFS portfolio.  During the quarter ended March 31,
1999, the Bank purchased $136.9 million of MBSs and $55.0 million
of debt and equity 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 $71.2 million and $64.4
million, respectively.

Net loans increased by $112.9 million, or 8.7% to $1.41 billion at
March 31, 1999 from $1.30 billion at December 31, 1998.  Loan
originations during the quarter totaled $329.9 million (comprised
of $292.8 million of residential one- to four-family mortgage
loans, $3.0 million of equity loans and lines of credit, $26.8
million of multi-family loans and $7.3 million of commercial real
estate loans).  Originations of residential one- to four-family
mortgage loans included purchases of $112.6 million of residential
loans in the secondary market.  Residential loans originated or
purchased for sale in the secondary market for the three months
ended March 31, 1999 totaled $160.6 million.  During the first
quarter of 1999, the Bank sold $155.4 million of residential loans
on a servicing released basis to third party investors.  During the
first quarter of 1999, principal repayments totaled $53.6 million.

                         LIABILITIES

Deposits increased by $82.1 million, or 4.8% to $1.80 billion at
March 31, 1999 from $1.72 billion at December 31, 1998 primarily
due to deposit inflows in the Bank's supermarket branches. 
Deposits in the supermarket branches totaled $578.1 million at
March 31, 1999 compared to $504.0 million at December 31, 1998. 
The Bank had fifty-nine supermarket bank branches as of March 31,
1999 compared to fifty-seven supermarket branches at December 31,
1998.  The Bank expects to open one additional in-store branch
during May of 1999.  Core deposits (comprised of checking, savings
and money market accounts) were equal to 58.3% of total in-store
branch deposits at March 31, 1999 compared to 45.3% in the Bank's
eight traditional branches.  Core deposits for the supermarket
branches included $209.3 million of "Liquid Asset" account balances
at March 31, 1999.  Overall, core deposits represented 53.6% of
total deposits at March 31, 1999 compared to 47.7% at December 31,

                                                             11


1998.  Borrowed funds increased by $146.0 million, or 33.2% to
$586.3 million at March 31, 1999 from $440.3 million at December
31, 1998 primarily due to the funding requirements for loan
origination volume and wholesale purchases of CFS Intercounty, the
Bank's residential lending division.

                    STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

Haven Bancorp's stockholders' equity decreased to $119.1 million at
March 31, 1999 from $119.9 million at December 31, 1998.  The
decrease in stockholders' equity was due to a reduction of $3.1
million in the unrealized gain on securities available for sale and
dividends declared totaling $665,000.  These decreases were
partially offset by net income of $2.6 million for the quarter and
$380,000 related to the amortization of awards of shares of stock
by the Bank's RRPs, and amortization of the deferred compensation
plan, and stock options exercised.

Non-performing loans to total assets     0.40            0.35


The increase in non-performing assets was primarily due to an
increase of $1.7 million in non-performing loans from December 31,
1998 to March 31, 1999.  The ratios of non-performing loans to  

                                                              13

total loans, non-performing assets to total assets and non-
performing loans to total assets all increased primarily due to the
increase of $1.7 million in non-performing loans during the
quarter.

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.

The following table sets forth the changes in the allowance for
loan losses for the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998:

the first quarter of 1999 decreased compared to the same period in
1998 primarily due to the decrease in net charge-offs for the first
quarter of 1999 compared to the first quarter of 1998, as well as
the increase in average loans outstanding.  The ratio of allowance
for loan losses to total loans decreased for the quarter due to the
increase in loans outstanding at March 31, 1999. The ratio of
allowance for loan losses to non-performing loans increased between
the periods due to an increase of $1.7 million in the allowance for
loan losses.  The Bank's allowance for loan losses was $14.6
million and $12.9 million at March 31, 1999 and March 31, 1998,
respectively, whereas non-performing loans totaled $10.1 million
and $10.8 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, debt
securities and MBSs and maintaining an AFS securities portfolio. 
During the first quarter of 1999, the Bank originated or purchased
for its portfolio $77.7 million of residential adjustable-rate
mortgages and $34.1 million of adjustable-rate multi-family,
commercial real estate and construction loans which are expected to
help protect net interest margins during periods of rising interest
rates.  During the same period, the Bank purchased $176.6 million
of fixed rate debt securities and MBSs to take advantage of higher
yields compared to rates offered on adjustable-rate securities.  At
March 31, 1999, $240.5 million, or 25.6% of the Company's AFS
portfolio were adjustable-rate securities and $700.5 million, or
74.4% of the portfolio were fixed 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, 1999, core deposits represented 53.6%
of deposits compared to 47.7% of deposits at December 31, 1998. 
Core deposits included $209.3 million of "Liquid Asset" account
balances at March 31, 1999.  This account was introduced at the
supermarket branches in the second quarter of 1998 and currently
pays an initial rate of 4.25% for balances over $2,500.  During the
first quarter of 1999, savings accounts increased by $62.6 
million, net of interest, whereas, certificates of deposit
decreased by $10.8 million, net of interest.  The number of
checking accounts increased by 14,997, or 9.9% to 166,436 at March
31, 1999 from 151,439 at December 31, 1998.  Most of the increase,
13,678 accounts, is attributable to the Bank's supermarket bank
branches.  The Company expects to attract a higher percentage of
core deposits from its supermarket branch locations as the
supermarket branching program continues to grow and mature.

                   LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL

The Bank is required to maintain minimum levels of liquid assets as
defined by the Office of Thrift Supervision ("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 5.43 at March 31, 1999
compared to 4.24% at December 31, 1998.

The Company's primary sources of funds are deposits, advances from 
Federal Home Loan Bank of New York ("FHLB-NY"), principal and
interest payments on loans and MBSs and retained earnings. 
Proceeds from the sale of AFS securities and loans held for sale
are also a source of funding, as are, to a lesser extent, the sales
of insurance, annuities and securities brokerage activities
conducted by the Company's subsidiary, CFS Insurance Agency, Inc.
and 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, 1999 and December 31, 1998,
cash and short and intermediate-term investments totaled $33.2
million and $44.8 million, respectively.

The Company and the Bank have other sources of liquidity which
include debt securities maturing within one year, loans held for
sale and AFS securities.  Other sources of funds include FHLB
advances, which at March 31, 1999, totaled $397.9 million.  At
March 31, 1999, the Bank had unused lines of credit totaling $39.4
million with the FHLB-NY.

As of March 31, 1999, the Bank exceeded all regulatory capital
requirements as detailed in the following table:

capital requirement was effectively increased to 4.00% since OTS
regulations stipulate that as of that date an institution with less
than 4.00% core capital will be deemed to be classified as
"undercapitalized".
(2)  The OTS regulations require that certain institutions with
more than a "normal level" of interest rate risk to maintain
capital in addition to the 8.0% risk-based capital requirement. 
The Bank currently is not, and does not anticipate that its risk-
based capital requirement will be materially affected as a result
of this OTS requirement.

                  ANALYSIS OF CORE EARNINGS

The Company's profitability is primarily dependent upon net
interest income, which represents the difference between income on
interest-earning assets and expenses on interest-bearing
liabilities.  Net interest income is dependent on the average
balances and rates received 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.




























                                                              17

The following table sets forth certain information relating to the
Company's average consolidated statements of financial condition
and consolidated statements of income for the three months ended
March 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively, 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, 1999 AND 1998

GENERAL.  The Company reported net income of $2.6 million for the 

                                                              18

three months ended March 31, 1999 compared to net income of $2.1
million for the three months ended March 31, 1998.  The increase
was primarily attributable to an increase of $2.7 million in net
interest income and an increase of $6.6 million in non-interest
income.  These increases were partially offset by an increase of
$8.3 million in non-interest expense from the prior year period. 
Income tax expense increased $536,000 from the same period last
year due to an increase of $1.0 million in pre-tax income.

INTEREST INCOME.  Interest income increased by $5.5 million, or
15.8% to $40.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 1999
from $35.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 1998.  The
increase was primarily the result of a $3.1 million increase in
interest income on mortgage loans and an increase of $3.7 million
in interest income on MBS securities.  These increases were
partially offset by decreases in interest income on debt and equity
securities and money market investments of $1.3 million and
$74,000, respectively.

Interest income on mortgage loans increased by $3.1 million, or
14.5% to $24.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 1999,
from $21.7 million for the comparable three-month period in 1998. 
The increase was primarily the result of an increase in the average
balance of mortgage loans of $240.3 million, partially offset by a
decline in the average yield on mortgage loans of 42 basis points
from the first quarter of 1998.  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
1998 and the first quarter of 1999 which totaled $1.22 billion and
$326.8 million, respectively.  The increased originations reflect
the addition of the loan production franchise of CFS Intercounty. 
The originations for both periods were partially offset by prin-
cipal payments of $279.7 million and $51.8 million, respectively. 
The decline in the average yield from the prior year was primarily
due to the general decline in market interest rates in 1998.

Interest income on MBSs increased by $3.7 million, or 41.6% to
$12.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 1999 from $8.9
million for the comparable three-month period in 1998 primarily due
to an increase of $225.1 million in the average balance of MBSs at
March 31, 1999 compared to March 31, 1998.  During the first
quarter of 1999, the Bank purchased $136.9 million of MBSs for its
AFS portfolio which were partially offset by sales of MBSs totaling
$54.3 million.

Interest income on debt and equity securities decreased by $1.3
million, or 39.3% to $2.1 million for the three months ended March
31, 1999 from $3.4 million for the comparable three-month period in
1998 primarily as a result of a decrease in average balances of 
$67.3 million coupled with a 58 basis point decrease in the average
yield.  During the first quarter of 1999, the Bank purchased $55.0

                                                             19

million of debt and equity securities for the AFS portfolio,
partially offset by sales totaling $16.9 million.  The emphasis on
MBS securities over debt and equity securities was due to the
availability of competitive rates along with shorter durations.

INTEREST EXPENSE.  Interest expense increased by $2.8 million, or
13.1% to $24.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 1999
from $21.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 1998.  The
increase was primarily the result of a $2.2 million increase in
interest expense on deposits and an increase of $0.6 million in
interest expense on borrowed funds.

Interest on deposits increased by $2.2 million, or 14.7% to $17.2
million for the three months ended March 31, 1999 from $15.0
million for the comparable three-month period in 1998.  The
increase in interest on deposits was primarily due to the increased
average balance of $324.8 million.  The deposit growth is primarily
attributable to the Bank's supermarket banking program.  At March
31, 1999, the Bank had fifty-nine supermarket bank branches with 
deposits totaling $578.1 million, compared to thirty-nine
supermarket branches with deposits of $238.2 million at March 31,
1998.  The increase in average balance was primarily due to savings
account balances which increased by $191.3 million, or 49.7% to
$576.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 1999 from
$384.7 million for the comparable three-month period in 1998. 
Interest expense on savings accounts increased by $2.3 million, or
93.3% to $4.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 1999
from $2.4 million in the same period in 1998.  The average cost of
savings accounts was 3.24% for the first quarter of 1999 compared
to 2.51% for the first quarter of 1998.  The increase in the
average cost of savings accounts was due to the "Liquid Asset"
account which was introduced at the supermarket bank branches
during the second quarter of 1998.  This account currently pays an
initial rate of 4.25% for balances over $2,500.  The Bank's
supermarket branches had $267.1 million in savings balances as of
March 31, 1999 compared to $45.6 million as of March 31, 1998. 
Interest expense on certificate accounts decreased by $110,000, or
0.9% to $11.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 1999
from $11.9 million in the same period in 1998.  This was primarily
due to the decline in the average cost of these deposits to 5.27%
for the period ended March 31, 1999 from 5.75% for the same period
last year.  The average cost of all deposits was 3.92% for the
three months ended March 31, 1999 compared to 4.20% for the first
quarter of 1998 reflecting the general decline in market interest
rates.

Interest on borrowed funds increased by $603,000, or 9.3% to $7.1
million for the three months ended March 31, 1999 from $6.5 million
for the comparable three-month period in 1998.  Borrowed funds on 
an average basis increased by $97.3 million between the periods
primarily due to the addition of short-term FHLB advances and

                                                             20

securities sold under agreements to repurchase during 1999 in order
to complement deposit growth as a funding mechanism for mortgage
loan originations.  The average rate paid on borrowings decreased
to 5.36% for the three months ended March 31, 1999 from 6.01% for
the comparable prior-year period primarily due to a decline in
market rates in 1998.

NET INTEREST INCOME.  Net interest income increased by $2.7
million, or 20.1% to $16.2 million for the three months ended March
31, 1999 from $13.5 million for the three months ended March 31,
1998.  The increase is primarily due to the total average balance
of interest-earning assets which increased by $395.8 million, or
20.7% to $2.31 billion for the three months ended March 31, 1999
from $1.92 billion for the same period last year.  This growth is
mainly due to growth in the Bank's residential mortgage loan and
mortgage-backed securities portfolios.  This increase was partially
offset by the average yield on interest-earning assets which
decreased to 7.01% for the three month period ended March 31, 1999
from 7.30% for the three-month period in 1998.  However, the
average cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased to 4.26%
from 4.63% for the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998,
respectively, reflecting the general decline in market interest
rates in 1998.  Therefore, the net interest spread was 2.75% for
the three months ended March 31, 1999 compared to 2.67% for the
comparable period in 1998.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES.  The Bank provided $675,000 for loan
losses for the three months ended March 31, 1999 compared to
$670,000 for the comparable three-month period in 1998.  The
provision for loan losses is established based on management's
periodic review and evaluation of the loan portfolio.

NON-INTEREST INCOME.  Non-interest income increased by $6.6
million, or 148.1% for the three months ended March 31, 1999 to
$11.1 million from $4.5 million for the comparable three-month
period in 1998.  Non-interest income for the first quarter of 1999
included $4.5 million in servicing released premiums and fees
related to loans sold in the secondary market in the quarter.  The
Bank generally recognizes fee income, including servicing released
premiums, from its mortgage banking activities as loan sales are
settled.  Savings and checking fees increased by $1.3 million, or
72.6% to $3.1 million for the first quarter of 1999 compared to
$1.8 million for the same period last year.  The significant
increase in savings and checking fees is primarily due to the
number of checking accounts which increased by 54,902, or 49.2% to
166,436 accounts at March 31, 1999 from 111,534 accounts at March
31, 1998.  A significant portion of this growth is attributable to
the Bank's supermarket banking program.  The supermarket branches
generated savings and checking fees of $2.2 million for the first
quarter of 1999 compared to $1.0 million for the first quarter of
last year.  Insurance, annuity and mutual fund fees for the first

                                                             21

quarter of 1999 increased by $788,000, or 66.4% to $2.0 million
from $1.2 million for the same period last year which included
$946,000 in revenue from sales originating from supermarket
branches compared to $330,000 for the three months ended March 31,
1998.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSE.  Non-interest expense increased by $8.3
million, or 59.2% for the three months ended March 31, 1999 to
$22.4 million from $14.1 million for the comparable three-month
period in 1998.  The increase was due primarily to the addition of
the expenses of the loan production franchise of CFS Intercounty
and the Bank's expansion of its supermarket banking program from
thirty-nine branches at March 31, 1998 to fifty-nine branches at
March 31, 1999.  As a result of the increased headcount,
compensation and benefits costs increased by $4.5 million, or 59.1%
to $12.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 1999 from
$7.6 million for the same period last year.  Occupancy and
equipment costs increased by $1.1 million, or 50.7% to $3.3 million
for the first quarter of 1999 from $2.2 million for the same period
last year primarily due to the addition of twenty supermakret
branches as well as the expansion of the Bank's residential lending
function through CFS Intercounty.  Occupancy and equipment expense
also increased as a result of the purchase of the Company's new
headquarters, which was completed in the third quarter 1998.  Other
operating costs increased by $2.9 million, or 71.5% to $6.9 million
for the three months ended March 31, 1999 from $4.0 million for the
same period last year primarily due to the addition of CFS
Intercounty and the additional supermarket branches.

INCOME TAX EXPENSE.  Income tax expense was $1.6 million for an
effective tax rate of 38.1% for the three months ended March 31,
1999 compared to income tax expense of $1.1 million for an
effective tax rate of 33.2% for the comparable period in 1998.  The
1998 quarter included a reversal of previously provided income
taxes.

COMPUTER ISSUES FOR THE YEAR 2000.  Many of the Company's existing
computer systems use two digits to identify the year in the date
fields. As a result, these systems may not be able to distinguish
the year 2000 from the year 1900.  Software, hardware and equipment
both within and outside the Company's direct control and with which
the Company electronically or operationally interfaces (e.g. third
party vendors providing data processing, information system
management, maintenance of computer systems, and credit bureau
information) are likely to be affected.  Further, if computer
systems are not adequately changed to identify the year 2000, many
computer applications could fail or create erroneous results. As a
result, many calculations which rely on the date field information,
such as interest, payment or due dates and other operating
functions, could generate results which could be significantly
misstated, and the Company could experience a temporary inability 

                                                             22

to process transactions, send invoices or engage in similar normal
business activities.  If not corrected, these computer systems
could fail by or at the year 2000.

The Company primarily uses a third party vendor to process its
electronic data.  This vendor has made modifications or
replacements of its computer applications and systems necessary to
correct the year 2000 date issue.  Management has substantially
completed the testing of the modifications to these systems and
applications.  The Company also utilizes a combination of purchased
and contract-based software as well as other third party vendors
for a variety of data processing needs.  The Company's assessment
of potential computer issues for the year 2000 have been
substantially completed.  Where potential computer issues have been
identified, the vendors have committed to definitive dates to
resolve such issues.  Under regulatory guidelines issued by the
federal banking regulators, the Bank and the Company must
substantially complete testing of both internally and externally
supplied systems and all renovations, by June 30, 1999.  In the
event that the Company's significant vendors do not achieve year
2000 compliance, the Company's operations could be adversely
affected. 

The Company has established contingency plans for these systems for
which year 2000 issues will not be corrected.  The OTS, the
Company's primary federal bank regulatory agency, along with the
other federal bank regulatory agencies has published guidance on
the year 2000 compliance and has identified the year 2000 issue as
a substantive area of examination for both regularly scheduled and
special bank examinations.  These publications, in addition to
providing guidance as to examination criteria, have outlined
requirements for creation and implementation of a compliance plan
and target dates for testing and implementation of corrective
action, as discussed above.  As a result of the oversight by and
authority vested in the federal bank regulatory agencies, a
financial institution that does not become year 2000 compliant
could become subject to administrative remedies similar to those
imposed on financial institutions otherwise found not to be
operating in a safe and sound manner, including remedies available
under prompt corrective action regulations.

There has been limited litigation filed against corporations
regarding the year 2000 problem and such corporations' compliance
efforts.  To date, no such litigation has resulted in a decided
case imposing liability on the corporate entity.  Nonetheless, the
law in this area will likely continue to develop well into the new
millennium.  Should the Company experience a year 2000 failure,
exposure of the Company could be significant and material, unless
there is legislative action to limit such liability.  Legislation
has been introduced in several jurisdictions regarding the year
2000 problem.  However, no assurance can be given that legislation 

                                                            23

will be enacted in jurisdictions where the Company does business
that will have the effect of limiting any potential liability. 

Through March 31, 1999, the Company did not incur any costs
associated with achieving year 2000 compliance.  However, the
Company expects to incur approximately $451,000 in costs to achieve
year 2000 compliance during the remainder of 1999.

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, 1998 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, 1999, 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.
