NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
------------------------------------------------------
Note 1 - Basis of Presentation
---------------------
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
for interim financial information and in accordance with the
instructions to Form 10-QSB. Accordingly, they do not include all of
the disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles
for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results of
operations for the interim periods presented have been made. Such
adjustments were of a normal recurring nature. The results of
operations for the six months ended June 30, 2000 are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year
December 31, 2000 or any other interim period. The consolidated
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements and related notes which are
incorporated by reference in the Company's Annual Report on Form
10-KSB for the year ended December 31,1999.
Note 2 - Cash Flow Presentation
----------------------
For purposes of the statements of cash flows, cash and cash
equivalents include cash and amounts due from depository institutions
and certificates of deposit with original maturities of 90 days or
less.
Note 3 - Earnings Per Share
------------------
Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income by the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding for the appropriate
period. Unearned ESOP shares are not included in outstanding shares.
Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average
shares outstanding as adjusted for the dilutive effect of unvested
stock awards based on the "treasury stock" method. Information
relating to the calculations of net income per share of common stock,
summarized for the six and three months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999,

Note 4 - Cumulative Effect of Accounting Change
--------------------------------------
The Company implemented SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" (SFAS No.133") on
January 1, 1999. In accordance with the Pronouncement's provisions,
the Company reclassified approximately $1,071,000 of mortgage backed
securities from held to maturity to trading. On January 11, 1999, the
Company sold the entire trading investment that had a carrying value
of $1,033,041 and realized a gain of $8,980, net of tax. Accordingly,
the net realized gain of $8,980 is reflected on the consolidated
statements of operations as the cumulative effect of an accounting
change, net of taxes.
In addition, the Company reclassified $1,053,760 of mortgage
backed securities and $799,526 of investments from held to maturity
to available for sale. Accordingly, the net unrealized loss of $1,328
at the date of transfer is reflected on the consolidated statements
of comprehensive income as the cumulative effect of a change in
accounting principle, net of taxes.

ITEM 2
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
When used in this filing and in future filings by Northfield Bancorp,
Inc. (the "Company") with the Securities and Exchange Commission, in the
Company's press releases or other public or shareholder communications, or in
oral statements made with the approval of an authorized executive officer, the
words or phrases "would be," "will allow," "intends to," "will likely result,"
"are expected to," "will continue," "is anticipated," "estimate," "project" or
similar expressions are intended to identify "forward-looking statements" within
the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such
statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to
changes in economic conditions in the Company's market area, changes in policies
by regulatory agencies, fluctuations in interest rates, demand for loans in the
Company's market area and competition, all or some of which could cause actual
results to differ materially from historical earnings and those presently
anticipated or projected.
The Company wishes to caution readers not to place undue reliance on
any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made, and
advises readers that various factors, including regional and national economic
conditions, substantial changes in levels of market interest rates, credit and
other risks of lending and investment activities and competitive and regulatory
factors, could affect the Company's financial performance and could cause the
Company's actual results for future periods to differ materially from those
anticipated or projected.
The Company does not undertake, and specifically disclaims any
obligations, to update any forward-looking statements to reflect occurrences or
unanticipated events or circumstances after the date of such statements.
PENDING MERGER
On May 16, 2000, the Board of Directors of Northfield Bancorp, Inc.
approved an agreement whereby Patapsco Bancorp, Inc. will acquire Northfield
Bancorp, Inc. To accomplish the acquisition, the Company will be merged into a
subsidiary of Patapsco Bancorp. If the merger is completed, Company stockholders
will receive $12.50 in cash and 0.24 shares of Patapsco Bancorp's Series A
Noncumulative Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock for each share of Northfield
Bancorp common stock, plus cash in lieu of any fractional share of preferred
stock. At any time after issuance, the preferred stock will be convertible at
the stockholder's election into shares of Patapsco Bancorp common stock, on a
one-for-one basis, subject to future adjustment in certain circumstances. Each
share of Patapsco Bancorp's outstanding preferred stock will earn dividends at
the annual rate of 7.5% of its liquidation preference of $25.00 per share,
payable when and if declared by Patapsco Bancorp's Board of Directors.
9
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Continued
PENDING MERGER - CONTINUED
Dividends are noncumulative, which means that if the Board of Directors of
Patapsco Bancorp, Inc. does not pay dividends for a quarterly period, it is not
obligated to pay a dividend for that period at a later date. After five years
from the date of issuance of the Patapsco Bancorp preferred stock, Patapsco
Bancorp may redeem some or all of the outstanding Patapsco Bancorp preferred
stock at $25.00 per share plus any declared but unpaid dividends for the
then-current quarter. Generally, the merger will be a taxable transaction for
Northfield Bancorp stockholders. The acquisition is expected to be completed in
the fourth quarter of 2000 and is subject to various conditions, including
regulatory approval and the approval of the stockholders of Northfield Bancorp,
Inc.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Total assets of the Company were $54,470,000 as of June 30, 2000,
compared to $53,580,000 as of December 31, 1999, an increase of $890,000 or
1.66%. The increase was attributable to an increase in loans receivable of
$1,358,000, partially offset by a $438,000 decrease in cash.
Total liabilities of the Company were $47,428,000 as of June 30, 2000,
compared to $46,507,000 as of December 31, 1999, an increase of $921,000 or
1.98%. The increase was due to FHLB advances of $500,000 and an increase in
advance payments by borrowers for taxes and insurance of $371,000. Management's
plan is to take advantage of low rate FHLB advances and invest the proceeds in
higher yielding loan originations. The increase in advance payments by borrowers
was due to the cyclical nature of this account as borrowers increased the
accounts monthly and disbursements are made primarily in July through September.
Stockholders' equity was $7,042,000 as of June 30, 2000, compared to
$7,073,000 as of December 31,1999, a decrease of $31,000. The decrease was
principally due to a net unrealized loss on investments available for sale of
$46,000 and common stock dividends of $44,000, which were partially offset by
net income for the period of $38,000.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
GENERAL
Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2000 was $38,000 as
compared to $210,000 for the corresponding period in 1999. Net income for the
quarter ended June 30, 2000 was $7,000 as compared to $84,000 for the
corresponding quarter in 1999. The decreases in net income in both the six and
three month periods of $172,000 and $77,000, respectively, were primarily the
result of increases in total non-interest expense, including merger-related
expenses. Adjusted for merger-related expenses, net income for the six and three
month periods ended June 30, 2000 would have been $119,000 and $77,000,
respectively. Net income for the six and three month periods would have
decreased $91,000 or 43.33% and $7,000 or 8.33%, respectively.
10
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Continued
INTEREST INCOME
Total interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2000 was
$1,936,000 compared to $1,657,000 for the corresponding period in the prior
year, an increase of $279,000 or 16.84%. The increase was primarily due to an
increase of $5,697,000 in the average dollar amount of loans outstanding and an
increase of $2,105,000 in average dollar amount of investments outstanding for
the six months ended June 30, 2000 over the prior year's respective period.
Total interest income for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 was $981,000
compared to $838,000 for the same quarter in the prior year, an increase of
$143,000 or 17.06%. The increase was primarily due to an increase of $5,271,000
in the average balance of loans outstanding and an increase of $1,355,000 in
average investment balances for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 over the prior
year's respective quarter.
The weighted average yield on interest-earning assets was 7.28% and
7.19% for the six month periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The
weighted average yield on interest-earning assets was 7.32% and 7.07% for the
quarters ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively.
INTEREST EXPENSE
Total interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999
was $1,152,000 and $891,000 respectively, an increase of $261,000 or 29.29%. The
increase resulted primarily from an increase in the average dollar amount of
borrowings of $6,917,000 and a $909,000 increase in the average dollar amount of
certificates of deposit.
Total interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2000 and
1999 was $593,000 and $462,000 respectively, an increase of $131,000 or 28.35%.
The increase resulted primarily from increases in the average dollar amount of
short-term borrowings of $6,133,000 and an increase of six basis points paid on
savings deposits.
PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES
There were no provisions for loan losses for the six and three month
periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999. Management monitors and adjusts its loan
loss reserves based upon its analysis of the loan portfolio. Reserves are
increased by a charge to income, the amount of which depends upon an analysis of
the changing risks inherent in the Company's loan portfolio and the relative
status of the real estate market and the economy in general. The Company has
historically experienced a limited amount of loan charge-offs and delinquencies.
At June 30, 2000, management believes the allowance for loan losses is
sufficient since the loans are adequately secured. The assessment of the
adequacy of the allowance for loan losses involves subjective judgment regarding
future events and there can be no assurance that additional provisions for loan
losses will not be required in future periods.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Continued
NON-INTEREST EXPENSE
Total non-interest expense increased $234,000 to $681,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 2000 from $447,000 for June 30, 1999. The increase for the
period was the result of increases in compensation and related expenses, merger
expenses and professional expenses. The increase in compensation and related
expenses of $100,000 or 48.78% was the result of an increase in non-cash
deferred compensation expenses and annual merit employee salary increases.
Professional fees increased $47,000 as a result of increased legal and other
expenses.
Total non-interest expense increased $95,000 to $334,000 for the
quarter ended June 30, 2000 from $239,000 for June 30, 1999. The increase for
the three month period was the result of merger-related expenses and increased
professional fees incurred in fiscal 2000.
The Company expects the level of its non-interest expense to remain at
higher levels as a result of merger expenses and expenses associated with the
employee stock ownership plan that the Company implemented in connection with
its stock conversion.
INCOME TAXES
The Company's income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2000
and 1999 was $78,000 and $134,000, respectively, representing a decrease of
$56,000 or 41.79%. The decrease was primarily the result of the decrease in
pre-tax income, substantially offset by an increase in the effective tax rate.
The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2000 was 67.35%
compared to 39.96% for the same period in 1999. The increase in the effective
tax rate was predominantly the result of approximately $81,000 of non-deductible
merger-related expenses incurred to date in the current fiscal year.
The Company's income tax expense for the quarters ended June 30, 2000
and 1999 was $54,000 and $61,000, respectively, representing a decrease of
$7,000 or 11.48%. The decrease was primarily the result of the decrease in
pre-tax income, substantially offset by an increase in the effective tax rate.
The effective tax rate for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 was 88.80% compared
to 42.21% for the same period in 1999. The effective tax rate increase was
predominantly the result of non-deductible merger-related expenses incurred in
the quarter ended June 30, 2000.
CUMULATIVE EFFECT OF ACCOUNTING CHANGE
The Company early implemented SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities" on January 1, 1999. In accordance with the
pronouncement's provisions, the Company reclassified approximately $1,071,000 of
mortgage backed securities from held to maturity to trading. On January 11, 1999
the Company sold the entire trading investment for $1,048,335 and realized a
gain of $8,980, net of $5,956 tax.
