("New York Bancorp" or the "Company") is a savings and loan holding company. The Company, through its subsidiary, Home Federal Savings Bank (the "Savings Bank"), operates as a community savings bank. The Savings Bank's principal business consists of attracting deposits from the general public and investing these deposits, together with funds from ongoing operations and borrowings, in the origination and purchase of residential and commercial mortgage loans, cooperative residential loans and consumer loans. The Savings Bank also maintains a portion of its assets in mortgage-backed securities and investment securities, including obligations of the U.S. Government and federal agencies, money market investments, corporate notes and other securities. On January 27, 1995, Hamilton Bancorp, Inc. ("Hamilton"), the parent company of Hamilton Federal Savings F.A. ("Hamilton Savings") was merged with and into New York Bancorp. This transaction has been accounted for as a pooling of interests, and, as a result, the financial results for the periods prior to the merger reported in the accompanying management's discussion and analysis and consolidated financial statements have been restated to include the results of Hamilton. The Company reports its financial results on a fiscal year ended September 30, whereas Hamilton reported its financial results on a calendar year basis. In order to present historical consolidated financial information, the consolidated financial statements for years prior to fiscal year 1995 reflect the combination of the Company at and for the years ended September 30 with Hamilton's financial condition and results of operations at and for the years ended December 31. During the year ended September 30, 1995, the interest rate environment resulted in a relatively flat yield curve, thus producing an adverse risk/reward relationship for growing the asset size of the balance sheet through security purchases. As part of the Company's strategy to find ways to best utilize its available capital, during fiscal year 1995 New York Bancorp continued its stock repurchase program by repurchasing 1,431,700 shares of its common stock in the open market, bringing the total number of Treasury shares to 2,607,876 and the total number of outstanding common shares to 12,138,974 at September 30, 1995. In June 1995, New York Bancorp's common stock commenced trading on the New York Stock Exchange. This has given the Company's stock added visibility and additional investor interest as well as increased the stock's liquidity. In August and October 1992, New York Bancorp, through the Savings Bank, acquired $273.9 million in assets and assumed $480.0 million in liabilities of the former Union Savings Bank ("Union Savings") from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC"), as receiver of Union Savings. EARNINGS SUMMARY New York Bancorp earned net income of $11.6 million, or $.87 per share, for the year ended September 30, 1995, compared with $33.2 million, or $2.44 per share, for the prior year. The results for the year ended September 30, 1995 included $16.1 million in after tax non-recurring costs and $.7 million in an after tax loss on the sale of securities, both of which were incurred in connection with the Hamilton merger. Net income for the year ended September 30, 1994 included $5.7 million in income, or $.42 per share, from the cumulative effect of a change in accounting for income taxes. ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT The Savings Bank is subject to interest rate risk to the extent that its interest-bearing liabilities reprice or mature more or less frequently, or on a different basis, than its interest-earning assets. The Savings Bank's primary approach to controlling interest rate risk and maximizing net interest margin emphasizes gap management. The Savings Bank does not have a mandated targeted gap, but historically has managed the gap so that it will range from a modest positive to a modest negative position, which would generally result in upper-end ranges of positive to negative positions of 15%. The size and direction of the gap is determined by management, reflecting its views on the direction of interest rates and general market conditions. The Savings Bank's cumulative one year gap as a percent of total interest-earning assets moved from a positive .16% at September 30, 1994 to a negative 12.51% at September 30, 1995. A negative gap denotes liability sensitivity which in a given period will result in more liabilities than assets being subject to repricing. Generally, liability sensitive gaps would result in a net positive effect on net interest margin and, consequently, net income in a declining interest rate environment. Alternatively, liability sensitive gaps would generally result in a net negative effect on net interest margin and, consequently, net income in an increasing interest rate environment. The change from a .16% positive cumulative one year gap to a 12.51% negative cumulative one year gap resulted from an increased use of short term borrowings to fund growth in longer term assets, and a transfer by depositors to short term (less than one year) certificates of deposit from regular savings accounts. In determining the one year cumulative gap, regular savings accounts are assumed not to reprice. Alternatively, it is anticipated that their balance will be transferred into other more interest-sensitive liabilities over time, and therefore have a minimal repricing impact on the one year gap. In 1995, the transfer by depositors of these funds into short term (less than one year) certificates of deposit resulted in increasing interest-bearing liabilities which reprice within one year, and, therefore, increased the cumulative one year negative gap. At September 30, 1995, the Savings Bank's interest-earning assets principally consisted of adjustable rate mortgage and other loans and securities, multi-tranche fixed rate REMIC securities and an assortment of fixed rate mortgage and other loans. At September 30, 1995, 52.2% of such interest-earning assets were adjustable rate assets. Within the framework of the targeted gap, the Savings Bank may choose to extend the maturity of its funding source and/or reduce the repricing mismatches by using interest rate 10 swaps and financial futures arrangements. Additionally, the Savings Bank uses interest rate caps and interest rate floor arrangements to assist in further insulating the Savings Bank from volatile interest rate changes. During the year ended September 30, 1995, the Company's mortgage-backed securities portfolio decreased $86.1 million, from $957.6 million at September 30, 1994 to $871.5 million at September 30, 1995. This decrease is primarily attributed to the transfer, and subsequent sale, of $66.8 million of mortgage-backed securities held to maturity to available for sale in connection with restructuring the Hamilton portfolio's risk profile to be more consistent with the Company's. The average lives of mortgage-backed securities are sensitive to changes in the interest rate environment. The average lives tend to shorten in periods of declining interest rate environments and lengthen in periods of increasing interest rate environments. At September 30, 1995, the mortgage-backed securities portfolios had an estimated average life of approximately 5.3 years. Assuming an immediate and parallel shift of 300 basis points in the yield curve, the average life of these portfolios would extend to approximately 7.2 years. The Savings Bank considers its investment in mortgage-backed securities as a separate investment category from mortgage loans because of the liquidity characteristics of these instruments. The Savings Bank further segregates its mortgage-backed securities holdings as either held to maturity or available for sale. At September 30, 1995, the Savings Bank's portfolios of mortgage-backed securities represented 31.9% of total assets. Such mortgage-backed securities are either guaranteed by the FHLMC, GNMA or FNMA or constitute REMIC and private-issue passthrough mortgage-backed securities which are virtually all rated AAA by nationally recognized rating services. The Savings Bank purchases such securities at premiums and discounts to face value depending on present market conditions. As interest rates rise or decline, the yield on these securities may increase or decrease due to prepayments, which will lengthen or shorten the estimated average lives and thus affect the level of premium amortization and discount accretion. Additionally, the cash flows from such prepayments will be reinvested in interest-earning assets at then current market rates. In connection with its interest rate risk management strategy, at September 30, 1995 the Savings Bank maintained interest rate swap arrangements with a notional amount of $205.0 million. For $140.0 million of the $205.0 million of interest rate swap arrangements, the Savings Bank receives a variable rate (which is matched against the related variable rate borrowing) and pays a fixed rate, thus locking in a spread on fixed rate mortgage loans or fixed rate mortgage-backed securities during the term of the swap. Such swaps have maturities ranging from January 1996 to May 1996. For the remaining $65.0 million of interest rate swaps, the Savings Bank is receiving a fixed rate of 5.80% and paying a variable rate based on Federal funds (5.79% on September 30, 1995). This interest rate swap effectively unwound $65.0 million (of the aforementioned $140.0 million in interest rate swaps) where the Savings Bank was receiving a variable rate based on Federal funds (5.79% on September 30, 1995) and paying a fixed rate of 4.04%. The term of such swaps extend through January 1996. Additionally, in an effort to further protect against interest rate risk associated with the repricing of its interest-bearing deposit liabilities, the Savings Bank was a party to $1.0 billion of interest rate floor agreements which were scheduled to expire on February 22, 1998. During the third quarter of fiscal year 1995, in an effort to secure the hedge position provided against the aforementioned interest rate risk, the Savings Bank terminated its position as a party to the $1.0 billion of interest rate floor agreements. Accordingly, and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, the Savings Bank deferred recognition of the gain on the terminated interest rate floor agreements and is amortizing such gain as an adjustment to the cost of interest-bearing deposit liabilities over the original contractual life of the interest rate floor agreements. At September 30, 1995 the amount of the unamortized gain was $7.4 million. At September 30, 1995 the Company had approximately $2.6 million in contracts for purposes of hedging the "Standard & Poor's 500" index. The call options maturities range from March 1999 through August 1999. The Savings Bank uses stock indexed call options for purposes of hedging its MarketSmart CDs and MarketSmart I.R.A. CDs. The call options hedge the interest rate paid on these 5 year CD deposits which is an annual percentage yield based on the changes in the Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price Index during each of the 5 year terms of the CDs. Premiums paid on the call options are amortized to interest expense over the terms of the underlying CD using the straight line method. Gains and losses, if any, resulting from the early termination of the call option are deferred and amortized to interest expense over the remaining term of the underlying CD. Although the Company's asset/liability plan is intended to protect the Company's interest rate spread against changes in prepayment speeds caused by changes in interest rates, there is a risk that during periods of rapidly changing interest rates, the Company's spread could be reduced or become negative. The following table sets forth the scheduled repricing or maturity of the Company's assets, liabilities and yields at September 30, 1995 using assumptions based on its historical experience and other data available to management. This table does not necessarily indicate the impact of general interest rate movements on the Company's net interest yield because the repricing of various assets and liabilities is subject to customer discretion and competitive and other pressures. As a result, assets and liabilities indicated as repricing within the same period may in fact reprice at different times and at different rate levels. 11 At September 30, 1995 _______________________________________________________________________________________________ More More More More than than than than Over 6 Months 6 Months 1 Year 3 Years 5 Years 10 or Less to 1 Year to 3 Years to 5 Years to 10 Years Years Total Yield __________ ___________ ____________ ___________ _____________ ________ ____________ _____ (Dollars in Thousands) INTEREST-EARNING ASSETS: First mortgage loans...... $ 330,923 $ 305,542 $ 342,028 $ 215,477 $ 102,811 $ 92,995 $ 1,389,776 8.18% Other loans............... 141,822 34,322 57,138 35,522 20,883 6,752 296,439 8.80 Investment securities..... 45,538 10,000 1,237 10,000 677 -- 67,452 6.69 Federal Home Loan Bank stock.................... 20,288 -- -- -- -- -- 20,288 7.00 Mortgage-backed securities............... 107,522 77,973 136,560 86,229 463,236 -- 871,520 6.55 Money market investments.............. 13,915 -- -- -- -- -- 13,915 6.25 Trading account securities............... 2,003 -- -- -- -- -- 2,003 6.25 __________ ___________ __________ __________ __________ __________ ____________ Total interest-earning assets............... 662,011 427,837 536,963 347,228 587,607 99,747 2,661,393 7.66 __________ ___________ __________ __________ __________ __________ ____________ INTEREST-BEARING LIABILITIES: NOW accounts.............. 10,108 10,108 30,536 20,872 27,679 17,423 116,726 1.41 Money market deposit accounts................. 16,140 16,140 37,370 17,610 13,290 2,387 102,937 2.83 Regular savings and club accounts................. 52,599 52,599 168,266 124,447 187,186 166,277 751,374 2.29 Certificate accounts...... 304,074 205,676 151,070 82,989 1,207 -- 745,016 5.50 Borrowed funds............ 743,598 11,700 8,040 3,800 -- -- 767,138 6.14 __________ ___________ __________ __________ __________ __________ ____________ Total interest-bearing liabilities.......... 1,126,519 296,223 395,282 249,718 229,362 186,087 2,483,191 4.42 __________ ___________ __________ __________ __________ __________ ____________ INTEREST RATE HEDGING........ 45 (45) -- -- -- -- INTEREST SENSITIVITY GAP PER PERIOD..................

(3) Assumes NOW accounts, money market deposit accounts and regular savings and club accounts will be withdrawn at annual rates of 17.00%, 14.00% and 31.00%, respectively, based on their declining balance. 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, mortgage-backed securities and investments, and the cost of deposits and borrowings. Net interest income is dependent on the average balances and rates received on interest-earning assets, the average balances and rates paid on interest-bearing deposits and borrowings, and the effect of the Savings Bank's off-balance sheet financial instruments which are used to manage the repricing characteristics of interest-bearing liabilities. Net income is further affected by the provision for possible loan losses, other operating income, other operating expenses and taxes. 12 The following table sets forth certain information relating to the Company's average consolidated statement of financial condition and reflects the average yield on assets and average cost of liabilities for the periods indicated. The impact of interest rate swaps, interest rate caps, and interest rate floors are included in the table in the respective category to which they relate. The yields and costs are derived by dividing income or expense by the average balance of assets (which include nonaccrual loans) or liabilities, respectively, for the periods shown.

COMPARISON OF YEARS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1995 AND SEPTEMBER 30, 1994 GENERAL The Company's net income for the year ended September 30, 1995 was $11.6 million as compared to $33.2 million for the year ended September 30, 1994. Comments regarding the components of net income are detailed in the following paragraphs. INTEREST INCOME Interest income on interest-earning assets for the year ended September 30, 1995 increased by $21.5 million, or 12.2%, to $197.0 million as compared with $175.5 million for the year ended September 30, 1994. The increase in interest income was attributable to a $166.5 million increase in average interest-earning assets, resulting primarily from an increase in mortgage loans, coupled with a 36 basis point increase in yield on interest-earning assets. The increase in yield on interest-earning assets for the current year resulted from the increasing interest rate environment experienced in the second half of fiscal year 1994 through the first half of fiscal year 1995. The second half of fiscal year 1995 saw interest rates become more stable, and decline slightly. This interest rate environment resulted in the upward repricing of adjustable rate loans and the origination of new loans at higher rates. Interest and fees on loans for the year ended September 30, 1995 increased by $12.5 million, or 10.6%, to $130.0 million as compared to fiscal year 1994. The increase in loan income reflects a $149.6 million increase in the average balance and a 54 basis point increase in the yield on other loans which, however, were partially offset by a 14 basis point decrease in the yield on first mortgage loans. The increase in average balance reflects the purchase of $114.7 million of loans, combined with increased originations. Interest on mortgage-backed securities held to maturity and mortgage-backed securities available for sale for the year ended September 30, 1995 increased by $7.8 million to $60.3 million as compared to fiscal year 1994. The increase in mortgage-backed securities income reflects a 68 basis point increase in yield to 6.55%, coupled with a $26.3 million increase in the average balance of the portfolio to $921.2 million. Interest and dividends on investment securities increased by $1.9 million for the year ended September 30, 1995 to $4.9 million as compared to fiscal year 1994. The increase in interest and dividends on investment securities reflects a $29.3 million increase in the average balance of the portfolio to $71.2 million, partially offset by a 26 basis point decline in the yield to 6.85%. Money market investment income declined by $1.0 million to $1.1 million as compared to fiscal year 1994. The decline in money market investment income reflects a $38.9 million decrease in the average balance of the portfolio which, however, was partially offset by a 207 basis point increase in yield to 5.73%. Interest on trading account securities for the year ended September 30, 1995 increased by $.3 million as compared to fiscal year 1994. This increase was the result of a 206 basis point increase in yield, coupled with a $.2 million increase in the average balance of the portfolio. 14 INTEREST EXPENSE Interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities for the year ended September 30, 1995 increased by $21.8 million, or 27.2%, to $101.7 million as compared with $79.9 million for the year ended September 30, 1994. The increase in interest expense reflects a $163.9 million increase in the average balance of total interest-bearing liabilities to $2,427.8 million, coupled with a 66 basis point increase in the cost of funds. The increase in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities reflects the increased utilization of short-term borrowed funds which reprice faster than deposit liabilities. The impact of the Savings Bank's use of interest rate swaps and other off-balance sheet instruments was to decrease interest expense by $1.2 million for the year ended September 30, 1995 and increase interest expense by $1.5 million for the year ended September 30, 1994. Further, the impact of the Savings Bank's use of reverse repurchase agreements with imbedded interest rate caps, all of which have matured, was to decrease interest expense by $1.6 million and $1.1 million for the years ended September 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Interest expense on deposits increased $5.4 million, or 9.5%, to $62.4 million for the year ended September 30, 1995 as compared with the year ended September 30, 1994. This increase reflects a 37 basis point increase in the average cost of deposits from 3.18% in fiscal year 1994 to 3.55% in fiscal year 1995 which, however, was partially offset by a $32.3 million decrease in the average balance of deposits to $1,758.7 million. Interest expense on borrowed funds increased $16.4 million, or 71.4%, to $39.3 million for the year ended September 30, 1995, as compared to the year ended September 30, 1994. This increase reflects a $196.1 million increase in the average balance of borrowed funds to $669.1 million, coupled with a 103 basis point increase in the average cost of borrowed funds from 4.85% in fiscal year 1994 to 5.88% in fiscal year 1995. PROVISION FOR POSSIBLE LOAN LOSSES The Company provided $1.7 million and $2.7 million for possible loan losses during the years ended September 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively. The continued reduction in the provision for possible loan losses reflects the stabilization of the Savings Bank's ratio of its allowance for possible loan losses to total nonaccrual loans which amounted to 70.0% and 70.4% at September 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively. As part of the Savings Bank's determination of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, the Savings Bank monitors its loan portfolio through its Asset Classification Committee. The Committee, which meets no less than quarterly, consists of employees who are independent of the loan origination process and members of management. This Committee reviews individual loans with the lending officers and assesses risks relating to the collectibility of these loans. The Asset Classification Committee determines the adequacy of the allowance for possible loan losses through ongoing analysis of historical loss experience, the composition of the loan portfolios, delinquency levels, underlying collateral values and cash flow values. Utilizing these procedures, management believes that the allowance at September 30, 1995 is sufficient to cover anticipated losses inherent in the loan portfolios. Activity in the allowance for possible loan losses is summarized as follows: As of and For the Year Ended September 30, __________________________________________ 1995 1994 1993 __________ __________ __________ (In Thousands) Allowance for possible loan losses, beginning of year.............................................. $ 25,705 $ 26,828 $ 19,455 Charge-offs: Commercial real estate....................................... 3,435 1,732 682 Residential real estate...................................... 1,422 1,572 1,586 Other loans.................................................. 1,442 901 1,731 __________ __________ __________ Total charge-offs........................................... 6,299 4,205 3,999 Less recoveries: Commercial real estate.................................... -- (349) (220) Residential real estate...................................

The following table sets forth information regarding nonaccrual loans, real estate owned, and restructured loans at the dates indicated: September 30, ___________________________________________ 1995 1994 1993 ___________ ___________ ___________ (In Thousands) Nonaccrual loans: First mortgage loans: One-to-four family conventional residential................. $ 13,391 $ 14,642 $ 14,322 Commercial real estate...................................... 14,447 20,174 22,984 ___________ ___________ ___________ 27,838 34,816 37,306 ___________ ___________ ___________ Other loans: Cooperative residential loans............................... 2,534 1,717 1,502 ___________ ___________ ___________ Total nonaccrual loans.................................... $ 30,372 $ 36,533 $ 38,808 =========== =========== =========== Real estate owned............................................... $ 1,967 $ 5,919 $ 6,609 =========== =========== =========== Restructured loans.............................................. $ 9,104 $ 9,481 $ 6,237 =========== =========== =========== 15 At September 30, 1995, 1994 and 1993, total nonaccrual loans as a percentage of total assets amounted to 1.11%, 1.42% and 1.73%, respectively. The decrease in nonaccrual loans and real estate owned at September 30, 1995 reflects the Savings Bank's increased collection activity and the acceleration of write-offs of delinquent loans. The amount of interest income on nonaccrual and restructured loans that would have been recorded had these loans been current in accordance with their original terms, was $4,049,000, $3,940,000 and $3,530,000 for the years ended September 30, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. The amount of interest income that was recorded on these loans was $1,808,000, $1,181,000 and $1,123,000 for the years ended September 30, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. NET INTEREST INCOME AFTER PROVISION FOR POSSIBLE LOAN LOSSES Net interest income after provision for possible loan losses for the year ended September 30, 1995 amounted to $93.5 million, representing an increase of $.6 million, or .7%, from the year ended September 30, 1994. Net interest income for the current year declined $.3 from the prior year, which was more than offset by a $.9 million decline in the provision for possible loan losses. The decline in net interest income resulted from a 27 basis point decline in the Savings Bank's net interest margin, partially offset by a $166.5 million increase in average interest-earning assets. The decline in net interest margin resulted primarily from the increased reliance on short-term borrowed funds which resulted in a greater upward repricing of the Savings Bank's interest-bearing liabilities versus interest-earning assets in connection with the current interest rate environment as compared to last year. OTHER OPERATING INCOME Other operating income amounted to $5.7 million for the year ended September 30, 1995 as compared with $7.1 million for the year ended September 30, 1994. The $1.4 million decline in other operating income is primarily attributable to a $1.2 million loss on the sale of securities available for sale incurred during the second quarter of the current year related to the restructuring of the Hamilton portfolio. Such restructuring and sale were completed in order to make the acquired portfolio's risk profile more consistent with the Company's. OTHER OPERATING EXPENSES Other operating expenses amounted to $68.0 million during the year ended September 30, 1995 as compared with $50.8 million during the year ended September 30, 1994. This increase of $17.2 million primarily reflects $19.0 million in merger and restructuring expenses incurred in connection with the merger with Hamilton (see note 2 to Consolidated Financial Statements). Compensation and benefits decreased $3.4 million primarily attributable to consolidation efficiencies from the merger. Excluding the merger and restructuring expenses, other operating expenses represented 1.86% of average assets as compared to 2.06% in fiscal year 1994. INCOME TAX EXPENSE Income taxes totaled $19.7 million for an effective tax rate of 63.0% during fiscal year 1995 compared to $21.7 million for an effective tax rate of 44.2% during fiscal year 1994. The higher effective income tax rate during the current year resulted from the non-deductibility of certain merger and restructuring charges. CUMULATIVE EFFECT OF CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLE -- INCOME TAXES Prior to October 1, 1993, deferred income taxes were provided for timing differences in the recognition of revenues and expenses for tax reporting and financial statement purposes (an income statement approach), pursuant to Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 11. On October 1, 1993, New York Bancorp adopted SFAS No. 109 which adopted a balance sheet approach (or liability method) in place of the income statement approach. The liability method requires that an asset or a liability, as appropriate, be recorded for financial statement purposes for the deferred tax consequences of all temporary differences in the recognition of revenue and expense, which is measured by applying enacted tax laws and rates. Additionally, SFAS No. 109 permits the recognition of net deferred tax assets based upon the likelihood of realization of tax benefits in the future. The cumulative effect at October 1, 1993 of the change in accounting for income taxes which was implemented on a prospective basis amounted to $5.7 million for the year ended September 30, 1994. COMPARISON OF YEARS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1994 AND SEPTEMBER 30, 1993 GENERAL The Company's net income for the year ended September 30, 1994 was $33.2 million as compared to $25.2 million for the year ended September 30, 1993. Comments regarding the components of net income are detailed in the following paragraphs. INTEREST INCOME Interest income on interest-earning assets for the year ended September 30, 1994 increased by $14.7 million, or 9.2%, to $175.5 million as compared with $160.8 million for the year ended September 30, 1993. The increase in interest income was attributable to a $304.5 million increase in average interest-earning assets, resulting primarily from an increase in mortgage-backed securities purchases. These increases, however, were partially offset by a 34 basis point decrease in yield on interest-earning assets, reflecting the continued low interest rate environment throughout the first half of fiscal year 1994 and its impact upon adjustable rate assets, loan originations and mortgage-backed securities purchases. The second half of fiscal year 1994 saw the commencement of an increasing interest rate environment which resulted in increasing yields on the Savings Bank's interest-earning assets. Interest and fees on loans for the year ended September 30, 1994 decreased by $5.4 million, or 4.4%, to $117.5 million, compared with $122.9 million for the year ended September 30, 1993. The decrease in loan income reflects a 34 basis point decline in yield on first mortgage loans, an 18 basis point decline in yield on other 16 loans, and a $14.1 million decrease in the average loan balance to $1,411.1 million. The decrease in yields reflect the effect of the continued low interest rate environment during much of the early part of the year and during the prior year and its resulting effect on newly originated loans, refinancings of existing loans, and repricings in the Savings Bank's adjustable rate loan portfolios. Interest on mortgage-backed securities held to maturity and mortgage-backed securities available for sale for the year ended September 30, 1994 increased by $20.5 million to $52.5 million as compared to fiscal year 1993. The increase in mortgage-backed securities income reflects a $334.5 million increase in the average balance of the portfolio to $894.9 million, coupled with a 16 basis point increase in yield to 5.87%. Interest and dividends on investment securities decreased by $.3 million for the year ended September 30, 1994 to $3.0 million as compared to fiscal year 1993. The decline in interest and dividends on investment securities reflects a $3.8 million decrease in the average balance of the portfolio to $41.9 million, coupled with a 4 basis point decrease in the yield to 7.11%. Money market investment income decreased by $.1 million to $2.1 million as compared to fiscal year 1993. The decrease in money market investment income reflects a $12.6 million decrease in the average balance of the portfolio which, however, was partially offset by a 52 basis point increase in yield to 3.66%. Interest on trading account securities for the year ended September 30, 1994 increased by $.1 million as compared to fiscal year 1993. This increase was the result of a 65 basis point increase in yield, coupled with a $.3 million increase in the average balance of the portfolio. INTEREST EXPENSE Interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities for the year ended September 30, 1994 increased by $8.5 million, or 12.0%, to $79.9 million as compared with $71.4 million for the year ended September 30, 1993. The overall increase in interest expense reflects a $289.1 million increase in the average balance of total interest-bearing liabilities to $2,263.9 million. The increase in interest expense, however, was partially offset by an 8 basis point decline in the cost of funds which includes the effect of off-balance sheet financial instruments which are used to manage the repricing characteristics of interest-bearing liabilities. These off-balance sheet financial instruments had the effect of increasing interest expense by $1.5 million during the year ended September 30, 1994 and reducing interest expense by $.5 million during the year ended September 30, 1993. Interest expense on deposits decreased $.7 million, or 1.2%, to $57.0 million for the year ended September 30, 1994 as compared with the year ended September 30, 1993. This decrease reflects a 10 basis point decline in the average cost of deposits from 3.28% in fiscal year 1993 to 3.18% in fiscal year 1994 which, however, was partially offset by a $30.9 million increase in the average balance of deposits to $1,791.0 million. Interest expense on borrowed funds increased $9.3 million to $23.0 million for the year ended September 30, 1994, as compared to the year ended September 30, 1993. This increase reflects a $258.1 million increase in the average balance of borrowed funds to $473.0 million. This increase, however, was partially offset by a 153 basis point decline in the average cost of borrowed funds from 6.38% in fiscal year 1993 to 4.85% in fiscal year 1994, reflecting the Savings Bank's expanded use of short-term borrowed funds. Included in interest on borrowed funds throughout fiscal year 1994 were the effect of $150.0 million of capped variable rate reverse repurchase agreements. These borrowings had imbedded interest rate caps ranging from 3.92% to 4.25% and matured between February 1995 and May 1995. PROVISION FOR POSSIBLE LOAN LOSSES The Company provided $2.7 million and $4.7 million for possible loan losses during the years ended September 30, 1994 and 1993, respectively. The reduction in the provision for possible loan losses reflects the stabilization of the Savings Bank's ratio of its allowance for possible loan losses to total nonaccrual loans which amounted to 70.4% and 69.0% at September 30, 1994 and 1993, respectively. NET INTEREST INCOME AFTER PROVISION FOR POSSIBLE LOAN LOSSES Net interest income after provision for possible loan losses for the year ended September 30, 1994 amounted to $92.9 million, representing an increase of $8.3 million, or 9.8%, from the year ended September 30, 1993. This increase reflects a $304.4 million increase in average interest-earning assets to $2,418.3 million. This increase, however, was partially offset by a 28 basis point decline in the Savings Bank's net interest margin from 4.23% in fiscal year 1993 to 3.95% in fiscal year 1994. The decline in net interest margin resulted principally from a decrease in yield on loans as a result of the low interest rate environment during fiscal year 1993 through the first half of fiscal year 1994 and its resulting effect on newly originated loans, refinancings of existing loans, and repricings on the Savings Bank's adjustable rate loan portfolios. OTHER OPERATING INCOME Other operating income amounted to $7.1 million for the year ended September 30, 1994 as compared with $9.9 million for the year ended September 30, 1993. The $2.8 million decline in other operating income is primarily attributable to a $3.6 million reduction in net gain on sales of mortgage loans and securities available for sale, which was partially offset by a $.5 million net loss on financial futures transactions during fiscal year 1993. OTHER OPERATING EXPENSES Other operating expenses amounted to $50.8 million, or 2.06% of average assets, during the year ended September 30, 1994 as compared with $48.5 million, or 2.24% of average assets, during the year ended September 30, 1993. This increase of $2.3 million primarily reflects a $2.5 million increase in compensation and benefits expenses, which includes a $.9 million increase in Hamilton's ESOP and RRP expense over the prior year, coupled with a $.5 million expense associated with the Savings Bank's postretirement benefits other than pensions during fiscal year 1994. INCOME TAX EXPENSE Income taxes totaled $21.7 million for an effective tax rate of 44.2% during fiscal year 1994 compared to $20.9 million for an effective tax rate of 45.4% during fiscal year 1993. The lower effective income tax rate during the fiscal year 1994 resulted principally from the recognition of tax benefits associated with the provision for possible loan losses and lost interest on nonaccrual loans. Prior 17 to the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes ("SFAS No. 109") these differences were accounted for as permanent differences. CUMULATIVE EFFECT OF CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLE -- INCOME TAXES Prior to October 1, 1993, deferred income taxes were provided for timing differences in the recognition of revenues and expenses for tax reporting and financial statement purposes (an income statement approach), pursuant to Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 11. On October 1, 1993, New York Bancorp adopted SFAS No. 109 which adopted a balance sheet approach (or liability method) in place of the income statement approach. The liability method requires that an asset or a liability, as appropriate, be recorded for financial statement purposes for the deferred tax consequences of all temporary differences in the recognition of revenue and expense, which is measured by applying enacted tax laws and rates. Additionally, SFAS No. 109 permits the recognition of net deferred tax assets based upon the likelihood of realization of tax benefits in the future. The cumulative effect at October 1, 1993 of the change in accounting for income taxes which was implemented on a prospective basis amounted to $5.7 million for the year ended September 30, 1994. ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION In managing its financial condition, the Company establishes objectives to maximize the appropriate levels of asset and liability mix to meet profit, risk and capital goals. Total assets increased $147.6 million to $2.7 billion at September 30, 1995. The increase in total assets primarily reflects a $232.6 million increase in loans receivable, net, partially offset by an $86.1 million decrease in mortgage-backed securities. The increase in total assets was primarily funded through the Savings Bank's $188.2 million increase in borrowed funds. Although the Savings Bank's strategy is to fund asset growth with core deposits, the Savings Bank will also continue to utilize borrowings to fund the balance sheet expansion when such expansion can be conducted profitably within the Savings Bank's asset/liability management parameters and regulatory capital constraints. Loans serviced for others at September 30, 1995 amounted to $523.7 million as compared to $530.3 million at September 30, 1994. CAPITAL As required by regulation of the Office of Thrift Supervision (the "OTS"), savings institutions are required to maintain regulatory capital in the form of a "tangible capital requirement," a "core capital requirement" and a "risk-based capital requirement." As of September 30, 1995, the Savings Bank is considered a "well-capitalized" institution under the prompt corrective action regulations of the OTS and continues to exceed all regulatory capital requirements as detailed in the following table (dollars in thousands): TANGIBLE CAPITAL CORE CAPITAL(1) RISK-BASED CAPITAL(2) __________________________ _________________________ __________________________ Amount Percentage(3) Amount Percentage(3) Amount Percentage(3) ___________ _____________ ___________ _____________ ___________ _____________ Total Savings Bank equity........... $ 146,169 5.35% $ 146,169 5.35% $ 146,169 11.38% Add (subtract): o Allowable portion of subordinated capital notes..................... -- .-- -- .-- 3,268 .25 o Other......................

(2) In August 1993, the OTS adopted a final regulation which incorporates an interest rate risk component into its existing risk-based capital standard. The regulation requires 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 Savings Bank does not anticipate that its risk-based capital requirement will be materially affected as a result of the new regulation. (3) For tangible and core capital the ratio is to adjusted total assets. For risk-based capital, the ratio is to total risk-weighted assets. The ability of New York Bancorp to pay dividends depends upon dividend payments by the Savings Bank to New York Bancorp, which is New York Bancorp's primary source of income. The Savings Bank is not permitted to pay dividends on its capital stock or repurchase shares of its stock if its shareholder's equity would be reduced below the amount required for the liquidation account or applicable regulatory capital requirements. The Savings Bank is currently allowed under regulation to pay cash dividends to New York Bancorp in an amount not to exceed 100% of its net income to date, during a calendar year, plus an amount not to exceed one-half of its surplus capital ratio at the beginning of the calendar year. Additionally, under terms of its subordinated capital note agreements, the Savings Bank is permitted to pay, on a cumulative basis, cash dividends to New York Bancorp in an amount not to exceed 75% of its net income from November 30, 1988 to date, plus $5.0 million. During the past five years, the Company's net income has amounted to $3.2 million in fiscal year 1991, $16.9 million in fiscal year 1992, $25.2 million in fiscal year 1993, $33.2 million in fiscal year 1994, and $11.6 million in fiscal year 1995 (which included $16.1 million in after tax non-recurring expenses and $.7 million in an after tax loss on the sale of securities, both of which were incurred in connection with the Hamilton merger). The Company's regular quarterly dividend has increased 98% since September 1992. During this same period the Savings Bank has continued to exceed the OTS's regulatory capital requirements. 18 LIQUIDITY The maintenance of an appropriate level of liquid resources to meet not only regulatory requirements but also to provide the funding necessary to meet the institution's business activities and obligations is an integral element in the successful management of the Company's assets. Federal regulations currently require that for each calendar month, a savings institution maintain an average daily balance of cash and cash equivalents and certain uncommitted marketable securities equal to 5% of net withdrawable accounts and borrowings payable in one year or less. Under OTS regulations, the percentage of assets which must be liquid assets may vary between 4% and 10% of the obligation of the savings institution on withdrawable accounts and borrowings payable on demand or with unexpired maturities of one year or less. During September 1995, the Savings Bank's liquidity ratio was 5.28% compared to 5.73% for the month of September 1994. The liquidity levels will vary dependent upon savings flows, future loan fundings, operating needs and general prevailing economic conditions. Because of the Savings Bank's diverse available funding sources, including cash flows from the Savings Bank's regular amortization and interest received in connection with the loan and mortgage-backed securities portfolios and borrowings, available on a collateralized basis, the Company does not foresee any problems in generating liquidity to meet its operational, debt repayment and other requirements. The Savings Bank's lending and investment activities are predominately funded by deposits, Federal Home Loan Bank of New York ("FHLB-NY") advances, reverse repurchase agreements with primary government securities dealers, subordinated capital notes, scheduled amortization and prepayments on loans and mortgage-backed securities, and funds provided by operations. IMPACT OF INFLATION AND CHANGING PRICES The consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes presented herein have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, which require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without considering the changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time and due to inflation. Unlike most industrial companies, nearly all the assets and liabilities of the Company are monetary. As a result, interest rates have a greater impact on the Company's performance than do the effects of general levels of inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or to the same extent as the price of goods and services. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In May 1993, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan" ("SFAS No. 114"). In October 1994, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 118 "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan -- Income Recognition and Disclosures" ("SFAS No. 118") which amended SFAS No. 114 (collectively the "Statements"). Both Statements are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1994. These Statements address the accounting by creditors for impairment of certain loans which, among other things, include all loans that are restructured in a troubled debt restructuring involving a modification of terms. They require that impaired loans that are within the scope of these Statements be measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate or, as a practical expedient, at the loan's observable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. Based upon a review of these Statements, management has determined that the adoption of SFAS No. 114 and SFAS No. 118 on a prospective basis will not have a materially adverse effect on the Company. In March 1995, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-lived Assets and for Long-lived Assets To Be Disposed Of" ("SFAS No. 121 "). The Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995. The Statement establishes accounting standards for, among other things, the impairment of long-lived assets. The Statement requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Based upon a review of the Statement, management does not believe that the adoption of SFAS No. 121 would have a materially adverse effect on the Company. In May 1995, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 122, "Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights" ("SFAS No. 122"). The Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995. The Statement establishes accounting standards for mortgage servicing rights, which are the contractual right to service loans owned by others, typically for a fee. Prior to this Statement, only purchased mortgage servicing rights were capitalized as an asset. SFAS No. 122 requires originated mortgage servicing rights (OMSR) to be capitalized as an asset. OMSR represent mortgage servicing rights acquired when an institution originates and subsequently sells mortgage loans but retains the servicing rights. The Statement also requires all capitalized mortgage servicing rights to be evaluated for impairment based on their value. Management is reviewing its options for adopting SFAS No. 122, which includes the possibility of adopting the Statement as of October 1, 1995. The Statement will be adopted on a prospective basis, and the positive impact on future earnings would depend on the level of future mortgage loan sales, with servicing retained. To the extent that a servicing right asset is capitalized, future earnings could be negatively impacted when capitalized mortgage servicing rights are subsequently evaluated for impairment. In October 1995, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS No. 123"). The Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995. The Statement establishes accounting and reporting standards for stock-based employee compensation awards granted in fiscal years that begin after December 15, 1994. Examples of such plans are stock purchase plans, stock options, restricted stock, and stock appreciation rights. The Statement defines a fair value based method of accounting for employee stock options or similar equity instruments and encourages all entities to adopt that method of accounting. Entities may elect, however, to remain with previous accounting standards which do not require the fair value method of accounting. Those entities electing not to adopt the fair value method of accounting must make pro forma disclosures of net income and earnings per 19 share as if the fair value method of accounting defined in the Statement were adopted. Under the fair value based method, compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period. Management has not yet performed a review to determine the effect this Statement could have on the Company. However, if the Company adopts fair value accounting for its stock-based compensation plans, compensation and benefit expense would be increased, and earnings decreased, for options granted in future periods. In May 1993, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" ("SFAS No. 115"). Under SFAS No. 115, investment and mortgage-backed securities which a company has the positive intent and ability to hold until maturity are carried at cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts on a level yield method. Investment and mortgage-backed securities to be held for indefinite periods of time and not intended to be held to maturity and marketable equity securities are classified as available for sale securities and are recorded at fair value, with unrealized appreciation and depreciation, net of tax, reported as a separate component of shareholders' equity. In November 1995, the FASB issued an implementation guide for SFAS No. 115. The implementation guide provides guidance in the form of a question and answer format and would allow an opportunity from mid-November 1995 to December 31, 1995 for companies to reclassify securities in the held to maturity portfolio to securities in the available for sale portfolio without tainting the remainder of the portfolio. Management has not yet performed a review to determine the effect this implementation guide could have on the Company. PROPOSED REGULATORY MATTERS The Savings Bank is subject to extensive regulation, supervision, and examination by the OTS, as its chartering authority and primary Federal regulator, and by the FDIC, which insures its deposits up to applicable limits. Such regulation and supervision establish a comprehensive framework of activities in which an institution can engage and are intended primarily for the protection of the insurance fund and depositors. Any change in such regulation, whether by the OTS, the FDIC, or the United States Congress, could have a material impact on the Savings Bank and its operations. Currently, approximately 81.4% of the deposits of the Savings Bank are insured by the Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF") and 18.6% of the deposits of the Savings Bank are insured by the Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF"). On August 8, 1995, in recognition of the BIF achieving its mandated reserve ratio of 1.25% of insurance deposits, the FDIC revised the premium schedule for BIF members beginning June 1, 1995 to provide a new range of .04% to .31% of deposits (as compared to .23% to .31% of deposits which represents the previous range for BIF insured deposits and the current range for SAIF insured deposits). Most recently, the FDIC has voted to reduce the BIF assessment schedule further for the first half of calendar year 1996 so that most BIF members will pay the statutory minimum semiannual assessment of $1,000. Without a substantial increase in premium rates, or the imposition of special assessments or other significant developments, such as a merger of the SAIF and BIF, it is not anticipated that SAIF will meet its mandated reserve ratio of 1.25% of insured deposits until 2002. As a result of the disparity in BIF and SAIF premium rates, SAIF members could be placed at a significant competitive disadvantage in relation to BIF members with respect to pricing of loans and deposits and the ability to lower their operating costs. Legislation currently before the United States Congress reportedly provides for a one-time, special assessment on all SAIF insured deposits of approximately $.85 to $.90 per $100 of deposits. This one-time assessment which is intended to recapitalize the SAIF to the required level of 1.25% of insured deposits, may be an expense of the first or second quarter of fiscal year 1996, depending on the enactment, timing and final wording of such legislation. If the assessment is made at the proposed rates, the effect on the Savings Bank would be a charge of approximately $12.2 million to $13.0 million. It is anticipated that if the one-time assessment is levied, and the SAIF brought to its required level, the Savings Bank may see a decrease in the annual deposit premium in future periods. There have also been proposals to merge the SAIF with the BIF, and to eliminate the thrift charter. If such proposals are approved, the Savings Bank would be required to convert its existing thrift charter to a bank charter. The elimination of the thrift charter would also eliminate the current tax method of allowing the Savings Bank to take a percentage of income deduction for bad debts in determining its taxable income. The Savings Bank may also be required, under certain conditions, to recapture a portion of its Federal, state and local bad debt reserves maintained for income tax purposes. If the state and local bad debt recapture is made at the income tax rates currently in effect, the Company could have a charge to future earnings of $5.0 million on an after tax basis. No assurance can be given that the legislation when it is eventually signed into law will conform with the above and that the impact of such legislation will not have a significant impact upon the Company's financial results. 20 CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA) September 30, __________________________________ 1995 1994(1) ______________ ________________ ASSETS Cash and due from banks..................................................... $31,189 20,021 Money market investments (note 3)........................................... 13,915 21,844 Trading account securities.................................................. 2,003 12,939 Investment securities held to maturity (estimated market value of $21,107 and $51,390 at September 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively) -- (notes 4 and 14)................................ 21,179 52,984 Investment securities available for sale, at market value (note 5).......... 46,273 180 Federal Home Loan Bank stock (note 14)...................................... 20,288 17,409 Mortgage-backed securities held to maturity (estimated market value of $637,503 and $730,500 at September 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively) -- (notes 6 and 14)........................... 664,726 785,593 Mortgage-backed securities available for sale (notes 7, 14 and 21).......... 206,794 171,983 Loans receivable, net (notes 8, 9 and 14): First mortgage loans....................................................... 1,389,776 1,158,604 Other loans................................................................ 296,439 299,455 ______________ ______________ 1,686,215 1,458,059 Less allowance for possible loan losses...................................

See accompanying notes to consolidated financial statements. 25 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 1995, 1994 AND 1993 (1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES New York Bancorp Inc. ("New York Bancorp" or the "Holding Company") is a savings and loan holding company under the savings and loan holding company act, as amended ("SLHCA"). The Holding Company, through its savings bank subsidiary, Home Federal Savings Bank (the "Savings Bank") operates as a community savings bank. On January 27, 1995, Hamilton Bancorp, Inc. ("Hamilton"), the parent company of Hamilton Federal Savings F.A. ("Hamilton Savings"), was merged with and into New York Bancorp (see note 2) and Hamilton Savings was merged into the Savings Bank. The merger was accounted for as a pooling of interests and, as a result, the Holding Company's consolidated financial statements have been retroactively restated for all reporting periods to include the consolidated accounts of Hamilton. The more significant accounting and reporting policies are summarized below. (A) PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting and include the accounts of New York Bancorp and its wholly owned subsidiary, Home Federal Savings Bank (collectively the "Company"). All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. The Company reports its financial results on a fiscal year basis ending September 30, whereas Hamilton had reported its financial results on a calendar year basis. The consolidated financial statements for the current year have been adjusted to conform Hamilton's year-end with that of the Company. The consolidated financial statements for years prior to fiscal 1995 have been adjusted to conform Hamilton's fiscal year with that of the Company. The consolidated financial statements for years prior to fiscal 1995 reflect the combination of the Company at and for the years ended September 30 with Hamilton at or for the years ended December 31. For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash and due from banks and money market investments. (B) MONEY MARKET INVESTMENTS Money market investments represent short-term instruments (generally ninety days or less), which are generally held to maturity. These investments are carried at cost or, if applicable, at cost adjusted for accretion of discount or amortization of premium using a method which approximates the level-yield method over the period to maturity. Carrying values of these investments approximate current market values. (C) TRADING ACCOUNT SECURITIES Trading account securities are carried at estimated market value. Net realized and unrealized gains (losses) are included in other operating income. Interest on trading account securities is included in interest income. (D) INVESTMENT AND MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES Effective October 1, 1993 the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investment in Debt and Equity Securities" ("SFAS No. 115"). Under SFAS No. 115, investment and mortgage-backed securities which the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold until maturity are carried at cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts on a level yield method. Investment and mortgage-backed securities to be held for indefinite periods of time and not intended to be held to maturity and marketable equity securities are now classified as available for sale securities and are recorded at fair value, with unrealized appreciation and depreciation, net of tax, reported as a separate component of shareholders' equity. Prior to October 1, 1993, investment and mortgage-backed securities which the Company had the ability and the intent to hold on a long-term basis or until maturity were carried at cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Investment and mortgage-backed securities to be held for indefinite periods of time and not intended to be held to maturity or on a long-term basis were classified as held for sale and were carried at the lower of cost or market value. Such securities held for sale included securities used as part of the Company's asset/liability strategy, or securities that may have been sold in response to, among other things, changes in interest rates, prepayment risk, the need or desire to increase capital, the need to satisfy regulatory requirements or other similar factors. Gains and losses on the sale of securities are determined using the specific identification method. (E) LOANS RECEIVABLE Loans are carried at amortized cost. Interest on loans is recognized on the accrual basis. The accrual of income on loans is discontinued when certain factors, such as contractual delinquency of ninety days or more, indicate reasonable doubt as to the timely collectibility of such income. Interest previously recognized on past due loans is charged to the allowance for loan losses when in the opinion of management such interest is deemed to be uncollectible. Loans on which the accrual of income has been discontinued are designated as nonaccrual loans and income is recognized subsequently only in the period collected. Loan origination fees, less certain direct origination costs, are deferred and recognized as an adjustment of the loan's yield over the life of the loan by the interest method, which results in a constant rate of return. When loans are sold, any remaining unaccreted deferred fees are recognized as income at the time of sale. Discounts (premiums) on mortgage loans purchased are deferred and accreted (amortized) to income over the life of the loans using methods which approximate the level-yield method. 26 Provisions for possible loan losses are charged to operations based on management's periodic review and evaluation of the loan portfolio in relation to the Company's past loan loss experience, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse situations which may affect the borrower's ability to repay, overall portfolio quality, and underlying collateral values and cash flow values. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Savings Bank's allowance for possible loan losses. Such agencies could require the Savings Bank to recognize additions to the allowance based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination. Management believes that the allowance for possible loan losses is adequate. (F) LOAN SERVICING Fees earned for servicing loans owned by investors are reported as income when the related mortgage loan payments are collected. Loan servicing costs are charged to expense as incurred. The cost of loan servicing rights acquired is amortized in proportion to, and over the period of, estimated servicing income. (G) PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT Land is carried at cost. Buildings and building improvements, leasehold improvements and furniture, fixtures and equipment are carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Buildings, building improvements and furniture, fixtures and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the terms of the related leases. (H) REAL ESTATE OWNED Real estate owned includes both formally foreclosed and in-substance foreclosed property. In-substance foreclosed property includes properties for which borrowers have little or no equity or prospects for building equity in the collateral and for which the loan repayment can only be expected from the operation or sale of the collateral. In-substance foreclosed properties are generally in the process of formal foreclosure. When a property is acquired through foreclosure or in-substance foreclosure, the excess of the carrying amount over fair value, if any, is charged to the allowance for loan losses. An allowance for real estate owned has been established to maintain these properties at the lower of cost or fair value less estimated cost to sell. Real estate owned is shown net of the allowance. The allowance is established through charges to income and are included in real estate operations, net. Operating results of real estate owned, including rental income, operating expenses, and gains and losses realized from the sales of properties owned, are recorded in real estate operations, net. (I) REVERSE REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS Reverse repurchase agreements are accounted for as financing transactions. Accordingly, the collateral securities continue to be carried as assets and a borrowing liability is established for the transaction proceeds. (J) INCOME TAXES The Company and its subsidiary file a consolidated Federal income tax return. The subsidiary pays to or receives from the Company, as appropriate, an allocated portion of the consolidated income taxes or benefits based upon the effective current income tax rate of the consolidated group. Effective October 1, 1993, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("SFAS No. 109") which adopts a balance sheet approach (or liability method) in place of the income statement approach. The liability method requires that an asset or a liability, as appropriate, be recorded for financial statement purposes for the deferred tax consequences of all temporary differences between the tax and financial statement recognition of revenue and expense, which is measured by applying enacted tax laws and rates. Additionally, SFAS No. 109 permits the recognition of net deferred tax assets based upon the likelihood of realization of tax benefits in the future. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets which are determined to not likely be recognized. The cumulative effect at October 1, 1993 of the change in accounting for income taxes has been included in the consolidated statement of income for the year ended September 30, 1994. Prior to October 1, 1993, deferred income taxes were provided for timing differences in the recognition of revenues and expenses for tax reporting and financial statement purposes (an income statement approach), pursuant to Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 11. (K) RETIREMENT PLANS The Company has pension plans covering substantially all employees who have attained minimum service requirements. The Company's policy is to contribute annually an amount sufficient to meet Employee Retirement Income Security Act ("ERISA") funding standards. Postretirement and postemployment benefits are recorded on an accrual basis with an annual provision that recognizes the expense over the service life of the employee, determined on an actuarial basis. (L) OFF-BALANCE SHEET FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Interest rate swaps, caps, floors, options and financial futures agreements are periodically used to manage the Company's interest rate risk. Generally, the net settlements on such transactions used as hedges of non-trading assets or liabilities are accrued as an adjustment to interest income or interest expense over the lives of the 27 agreements. Further, gains or losses on terminated contracts used as hedges of non-trading assets or liabilities are generally deferred and amortized over the life of the original hedge. Contracts which are not matched against specific assets, liabilities, or the repricing of interest rate floor arrangements or do not meet correlation criteria are accounted for at market value with the resulting gain or loss recognized in operations. (M) EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE Earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding. The weighted average number of shares of common stock and common stock equivalents used in the computation of earnings per common share for the years ended September 30, 1995 and 1994 was 13,327,915 and 13,609,867, respectively. (N) RECLASSIFICATIONS Certain reclassifications have been made to 1994 and 1993 amounts to conform to the 1995 presentation. (2) BUSINESS COMBINATIONS HAMILTON On January 27, 1995, New York Bancorp acquired Hamilton in a transaction accounted for under the pooling of interests method of accounting. Pursuant to the merger agreement, New York Bancorp issued 1.705 shares of common stock for each outstanding share of Hamilton common stock and reserved for issuance 182,824 shares of common stock for Hamilton's stock options outstanding as of the merger consummation date. In addition, 306,392 shares of common stock were issued to holders of Hamilton stock options who received stock for the options calculated in accordance with the formula contained in the merger agreement. As a condition to the merger, Hamilton, immediately prior to the consummation of the merger, reissued in an underwritten offering 175,000 shares of Hamilton treasury stock amounting to net proceeds of $4,530,000, after underwriting commission and offering costs. As a result of the above, 6,224,921 shares of common stock were issued in connection with the merger. The Company reports its financial results on a fiscal year basis ending September 30, whereas Hamilton had reported its financial results on a calendar year basis. Accordingly, the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition as of September 30, 1994 has been restated to include the financial position of Hamilton as of December 31, 1994 and the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income, Changes in Shareholders' Equity and Cash Flows for the two years ended September 30, 1994 have been restated to include the operations of Hamilton for the two years ended December 31, 1994. The effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements arising from the inclusion of the $1,780,000 of net income of Hamilton for the three months ended December 31, 1994 in the Company's results of operations for both fiscal year 1995 and 1994 is presented in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Changes in Shareholders' Equity as an adjustment for change in fiscal year of Hamilton. Additionally, the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income for both fiscal year 1995 and 1994 each include $7,948,000 and $1,780,000 representing net interest income after provision for possible loan losses and net income, respectively, reflecting those results of Hamilton's operations for the three months ended December 31, 1994. In accordance with the pooling of interests method of accounting, the Company's financial statements have been restated for all periods presented to include the reported results of Hamilton. The combination of previously reported operating results of the Company and Hamilton for the two years ended September 30, 1994 are presented below: 1994 1993 ___________ ___________ (In Thousands) Net interest income after provision for loan losses: New York Bancorp..................................................... $ 61,828 $ 55,726 Hamilton............................................................. 31,104 28,941 ___________ ___________ Total combined.................................................... $ 92,932 $ 84,667 =========== =========== Income before cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle: New York Bancorp..................................................... $ 17,927 $ 16,344 Hamilton............................................................. 9,540 8,844 ___________ ___________ Total combined.................................................... $ 27,467 $ 25,188 =========== =========== Cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle: New York Bancorp..................................................... $ 5,685 $ -- Hamilton............................................................. -- -- ___________ ___________ Total combined.................................................... $ 5,685 $ -- =========== =========== Net income: New York Bancorp..................................................... $ 23,612 $ 16,344 Hamilton............................................................. 9,540 8,844 ___________ ___________ Total combined.................................................... $ 33,152 $ 25,188 =========== =========== New York Bancorp's investment in Hamilton was eliminated in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition as of September 30, 1994, which resulted in a $4.2 million reduction of the combined shareholders' equity.

Securities representing collateral for these transactions were delivered by appropriate entry into the Savings Bank's account maintained at a third-party custodian. At September 30, 1995 and 1994, these agreements matured within thirty days. Securities purchased under agreements to resell averaged $1.2 million, $16.2 million and $14.8 million for the years ended September 30, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. The maximum amount of such agreements outstanding at any month-end during the years ended September 30, 1995, 1994 and 1993 was $8.4 million, $30.0 million and $59.0 million, respectively.

(See note 2 regarding the transfer of securities in connection with the Hamilton merger.) In connection with the adoption of SFAS No. 115, mortgage-backed securities previously classified as held for sale, and carried at the lower of cost or market, were classified as available for sale. The carrying value of these mortgage-backed securities was adjusted to their market value, which resulted in increasing the carrying value by $826,000, and increasing shareholders' equity by $449,000, which was net of taxes of $377,000. In addition, the Savings Bank reclassified $71.5 million of mortgage-backed securities available for sale to mortgage-backed securities held to maturity, and reclassified $78.1 million of mortgage-backed securities held to maturity to mortgage-backed securities available for sale. At the time of the reclassifications, the carrying value of such mortgage-backed securities approximated market value. At September 30, 1995 and 1994, $17,568,000 and $79,199,000, respectively, of the mortgage-backed securities held to maturity portfolio consists of securities with underlying adjustable rate loans. Such securities had an estimated market value of $17,474,000 and $76,140,000, respectively. The privately-issued REMICs and CMOs and privately-issued pass-through mortgage-backed securities contained in the Savings Bank's held to maturity and available for sale portfolios have generally been underwritten by large investment banking firms with the timely payment of principal and interest on these securities supported (credit enhanced) in varying degrees by either insurance issued by a financial guarantee insurer, letters of credit or subordination techniques. Substantially all such securities are rated AAA by one or more of the nationally recognized securities rating agencies. These securities are subject to certain credit-related risks normally not associated with U.S. Government Agency mortgage-backed securities. Among such risks is the limited loss protection generally provided by the various forms of credit enhancements as losses in excess of certain levels are not protected. Furthermore, the credit enhancement itself is subject to the creditworthiness of the enhancer. Thus, in the event a credit enhancer does not fulfill its obligations, the mortgage-backed securities holder could be subject to risk of loss similar to a purchaser of a whole loan pool. Management believes that the credit enhancements are adequate to protect the Company from losses, thus the Company has not provided an allowance for losses on its privately issued mortgage-backed securities.

(21,272) (25,705) ______________ ______________ $ 1,664,943 $ 1,432,354 ============== ============== The yield on the average investment in first mortgage loans was 8.28%, 8.42% and 8.76% for the years ended September 30, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. At September 30, 1995 and 1994, the Savings Bank had commitments of $61,369,000 and $51,114,000, respectively, to originate first mortgage, cooperative residential and home equity loans. Such commitments generally have fixed expiration dates and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments may expire without being used, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Of the $61,369,000 commitments outstanding at September 30, 1995, $10,299,000 represent fixed rate loans with interest rates ranging from 6.75% to 10.375% and $51,070,000 represent adjustable rate loans. At September 30, 1995 and 1994, the Company had commitments of $5,414,000 and $2,750,000, respectively, to sell qualified fixed rate first mortgage loans. The commitment prices approximated the carrying value of the loans. During the years September 30, 1995, 1994 and 1993, the Company recognized net gains (losses) of $(.2) million, $(.4) million and $1.4 million, respectively, on sales of newly originated first mortgage loans. Substantially all of the Savings Bank's business activity is through originations of loans secured by real estate with customers located in the New York metropolitan area. The risk inherent in this portfolio is dependent not only upon regional and general economic stability which affects property values, but also financial well-being and creditworthiness of the borrowers. In order to minimize the credit risk related to this concentration, the Company utilizes prudent underwriting standards as well as diversifying the type and locations of real estate projects underwritten in the area. At September 30, 1995, 1994 and 1993, the Company was servicing first mortgage loans of approximately $523,664,000, $530,317,000 and $514,762,000, respectively, which are either partially or wholly owned by others. The Savings Bank's risk with respect to servicing loans for others is minimized due to the fact that loans serviced for others are all without recourse to the originator/servicer. To date, the Savings Bank has not suffered significant losses from its mortgage servicing activities. 32 (9) ALLOWANCE FOR POSSIBLE LOAN LOSSES Activity in the allowance for possible loan losses is summarized as follows: As of and For the Year Ended September 30, ____________________________________________ 1995 1994 1993 ____________ ___________ ____________ (In Thousands) Allowance for possible loan losses, beginning of year............................................. $ 25,705 $ 26,828 $ 19,455 Charge-offs: Commercial real estate...................................... 3,435 1,732 682 Residential real estate..................................... 1,422 1,572 1,586 Other loans................................................. 1,442 901 1,731 ____________ ___________ ____________ Total charge-offs........................................ 6,299 4,205 3,999 ____________ ___________ ____________ Less recoveries: Commercial real estate................................... -- (349) (220) Residential real estate..................................

At September 30, 1995, all securities sold under agreements to repurchase were delivered to the primary dealers who arranged the transactions. The securities remained registered in the name of the Savings Bank and are returned upon maturity of the agreement. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase averaged $307,657,000, $232,916,000 and $84,968,000 during the years ended September 30, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.

During the years ended September 30, 1991 and 1990, the Company repaid $6,000,000 and $5,000,000, respectively, of its Series A Notes at prices substantially equal to its carrying value. Interest on the Notes is payable in semiannual installments, commencing May 30, 1989. Principal on the Series A Notes and Series B Notes are payable in five annual installments of $2,800,000 and $1,000,000, respectively, beginning on November 30, 1994 and ending on November 30, 1998. The first installment of $3,800,000 was paid 35 on November 30, 1994. The Notes are fully subordinated to savings deposit accounts and other general liabilities of the Savings Bank. Further, a portion of the Notes qualify as capital for purposes of meeting the regulatory risk-based capital requirements. The Notes are redeemable in whole or in part, with a prepayment premium, at the option of the Savings Bank, subject to regulatory approval, at any time. Deferred issuance costs are being amortized over the period to maturity of the notes. On February 3, 1989 the Savings Bank established a Mortgage-Backed Medium-Term Note, Series A (the "Medium-Term Notes") program. The Medium-Term Notes can be issued from time to time in designated principal amounts, up to a total remaining aggregate amount of $180,000,000, with interest rates to be established at the time of issuance, and with maturities to be set ranging from nine months to fifteen years from the date of issuance. No amounts were outstanding under this program at September 30, 1995 and 1994. On April 1, 1993, the Savings Bank borrowed $3,043,000 in connection with the establishment of the former Hamilton's Employee Stock Ownership Plan. The funds were borrowed at the prime rate. These funds were repaid during the current year in connection with the termination of the plan. Weighted average interest rates on borrowed funds at September 30, 1995 and 1994, including the effect of interest rate caps and certain interest rate swaps, amounted to 6.14% and 5.20%, respectively. The average cost of borrowed funds for the years ended September 30, 1995, 1994 and 1993, including the effect of interest rate caps and certain interest rate swaps, was 5.88%, 4.85%, and 6.38%, respectively. Interest expense on borrowed funds, including the effect of interest rate caps and certain interest rate swaps, is summarized as follows: Year ended September 30, 1995 1994 1993 ___________ ___________ ___________ (In Thousands) Notes payable................................................... $ 19,920 $ 10,897 $ 7,175 Securities sold under agreements to repurchase.................. 17,619 9,812 4,375 Subordinated capital notes...................................... 1,716 2,059 2,059 Other........................................................... 81 184 88 ___________ ___________ ___________ $ 39,336 $ 22,952 $ 13,697 =========== =========== =========== (15) ACCRUED EXPENSES AND OTHER LIABILITIES Accrued expenses and other liabilities are summarized as follows: September 30, ___________________________ 1995 1994 ___________ ___________ (In Thousands) Federal, state and local income taxes payable .................................... $ -- $ 127 Accrued interest payable.......................................................... 5,157 4,150 Negative goodwill................................................................. 1,262 1,456 Deferred gain on interest rate floor agreements................................... 7,395 -- Accrued expenses and other........................................................ 28,860 21,300 ___________ ___________ $ 42,674 $ 27,033 =========== =========== (16) FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL TAXES FEDERAL INCOME TAXES The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("SFAS No. 109") effective October 1, 1993. Prior to October 1, 1993, deferred income taxes were provided for timing differences in the recognition of revenues and expenses for tax reporting and financial statement purposes (an income statement approach), pursuant to Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 11. SFAS No. 109 adopts a balance sheet approach (or liability method) in place of the income statement approach. The liability method requires that an asset or a liability, as appropriate, be recorded for financial statement purposes for the deferred tax consequences of all temporary differences between the tax and financial statement recognition of revenue and expense, which is measured by applying enacted tax laws and rates. Additionally, SFAS No. 109 permits the recognition of net deferred tax assets based upon the likelihood of realization of tax benefits in the future. The cumulative effect at October 1, 1993 of the change in accounting for income taxes which was implemented on a prospective basis amounted to $5.7 million and is included in the consolidated statement of income for the year ended September 30, 1994. Hamilton adopted SFAS No. 109 on a prospective basis effective January 1, 1992. The cumulative effect adjustment of $447,000 was included in taxes on income in the Statement of Income for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1992. No adjustment to Hamilton's historical information has been made to conform accounting treatments prior to the Company's adoption of SFAS No. 109 in fiscal year 1994 due to the insignificant impact of any such adjustment. The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant portions of the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are presented below: September 30, ____________________________ 1995 1994 ___________ ____________ (In Thousands) Deferred tax assets: Allowance for possible loan losses.............................................. $ 8,921 $ 8,101 Nonaccrual interest............................................................. 2,987 2,112 Deferred loan fees.............................................................. 1,831 1,996 Real estate owned............................................................... 742 1,041 Premises and equipment.......................................................... 445 134 Unrealized loss on available for sale securities................................ -- 3,051 Other........................................................................... 2,972 2,553 ___________ ___________ Total gross deferred tax assets............................................... 17,898 18,988 ___________ ___________ Deferred tax liabilities: Excess book over tax basis of loans............................................. 684 2,049 Unrealized gain on available for sale securities................................ 639 -- Other........................................................................... 1,769 1,213 ___________ ___________ Total gross deferred tax liabilities.......................................... 3,092 3,262 ___________ ___________ Net deferred tax asset........................................................ $ 14,806 $ 15,726 =========== =========== 36 Under SFAS No. 109, the Savings Bank has a net deferred tax asset of $14.8 million at September 30, 1995. This represents the anticipated Federal, state and local tax benefits expected to be realized in future years upon the utilization of the underlying tax attributes comprising this balance. The Company has reported taxable income for Federal, state and local income tax purposes in each of the past three years and in management's opinion, in view of the Company's previous, current and projected future earnings trend, such net deferred tax asset will be fully realized. Accordingly, no valuation allowance was deemed necessary for the net deferred tax asset at September 30, 1995. Total income tax expense was allocated as follows: Year ended September 30, ____________________________________________ 1995 1994 1993 ___________ ___________ ____________ (In Thousands) Income from operations.......................................... $ 19,717 $ 21,740 $ 20,912 Shareholders' equity - compensation expense for tax purposes in excess of amounts recognized for financial reporting purposes...................................

The effective income tax rates for the years ended September 30, 1995, 1994 and 1993 were 63.0%, 44.2% and 45.4%, respectively. The reconciliation between the statutory Federal income tax rate and the effective tax rate is as follows: Year ended September 30, _____________________________________ 1995 1994 1993 (1) ________ _______ _________ Tax on income at statutory rate........................................ 35.0% 35.0% 34.9% Tax effects of: State and local income tax, net of Federal income tax benefit........................................ 13.0 9.9 10.5 Nondeductible costs associated with Hamilton merger................ 15.0 .- .- Other, net......................................................... .- (.7) .- ________ _______ _______ Tax at effective rate.................................................. 63.0% 44.2% 45.4% ======== ======= ======= ______________ (1) On August 10, 1993, a change in the statutory Federal tax rate from 34% to 35% was enacted retroactive as of January 1, 1993. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 1993, a blended 34.9% rate was utilized. New York Bancorp files consolidated Federal income tax returns on a calendar-year basis with the Savings Bank and its subsidiaries. If certain definitional tests and other conditions are met, the Savings Bank is allowed a special bad debt deduction based on a percentage of taxable income or on a specified experience formula. The Savings Bank used the specified experience formula for 1993 and the percentage of taxable income method in 1994. The Savings Bank anticipates using the percentage of taxable income method for 1995. The statutory percentage of the special bad debt deduction is 8% and is allowable only if the Savings Bank maintains at least 60% of its total assets in qualifying assets, as defined. If qualifying assets fall below 60%, the Savings Bank would be required to recapture essentially all of its bad debt reserve for Federal income tax purposes into taxable income over a four-year period or account for bad debts on existing loans under a "cutoff" method. The Savings Bank's qualifying assets at September 30, 1995 and 1994 exceeded 70%. At September 30, 1995 the Savings Bank's bad debt reserve on qualifying real property loans for Federal income tax purposes approximated $28,736,000. Such reserve reflects the cumulative Federal income tax deductions to that date. Any charges to this reserve for other than a bad debt on a qualified real property loan would create income for tax purposes only, which would be subject to the corporate income tax rate in effect at that time. However, it is not contemplated that amounts allocated to bad debt deductions will be used in any manner that would create income tax liabilities. Legislation currently before the United States Congress has proposed to merge the Savings Association Insurance Fund (the "SAIF") with the Bank Insurance Fund (the "BIF"), and to eliminate the thrift charter. If this proposal is approved, the Savings Bank would be required to convert its existing thrift charter to a bank charter. The elimination of the thrift charter would also eliminate the current tax method of allowing the Savings Bank to take a percentage of income deduction for bad debts in determining its taxable income. The Savings Bank may also be required, under certain conditions, to recapture a portion of its Federal and/or state and local bad debt reserves maintained for income tax purposes. If the state and local bad debt recapture is made at the income tax rates 37 currently in effect, the Company could have a charge to future earnings of $5.0 million on an after tax basis. It is uncertain if, when and in what form this legislation will be enacted. STATE AND LOCAL TAXES New York Bancorp files combined New York State franchise and New York City financial corporation tax returns with the Savings Bank and its subsidiaries on a calendar-year basis. The Company's annual tax liability for each tax was the greater of a tax based on "entire net income," "alternative entire net income," "taxable assets" or a minimum tax. Further, the Company is subject to a temporary surcharge based upon New York State tax liability. The Company's provision for New York State and New York City taxes is based on "entire net income" for the calendar years 1994, 1993 and 1992 and for the nine months ended September 30, 1995. New York State and New York City do not allow for the utilization of net operating loss carrybacks or carryforwards for banks. (17) SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY DIVIDEND RESTRICTIONS In connection with the Savings Bank's conversion to stock form in February 1988, and Hamilton Saving's conversion to stock form in April 1993, special liquidation accounts were established at the time of conversions, pursuant to regulations of the Federal Home Loan Bank Board (the "FHLBB"), the predecessor to the OTS, based on the amount of the Savings Bank's regulatory capital as of September 30, 1987 and Hamilton Savings' regulatory capital as of September 30, 1992. In the unlikely event of a future liquidation, eligible depositors who continue to maintain accounts would be entitled to receive a distribution from the liquidation accounts. The total amount of the liquidation account will be decreased as the balances of eligible deposits are reduced on annual determination dates subsequent to the conversions. The balance of the liquidation accounts aggregated to approximately $20.8 million at September 30, 1995. The ability of New York Bancorp to pay dividends depends upon dividend payments by the Savings Bank to New York Bancorp, which is New York Bancorp's primary source of income. The Savings Bank is not permitted to pay dividends on its capital stock or repurchase shares of its stock if its shareholder's equity would be reduced below the amount required for the liquidation account or applicable regulatory capital requirements. The Savings Bank is presently authorized to pay cash dividends to New York Bancorp in an amount not to exceed 100% of its net income to date, during a calendar year, plus an amount not to exceed one-half of its surplus capital ratio at the beginning of the calendar year. Additionally, under terms of its subordinated capital note agreements, the Savings Bank is permitted to pay, on a cumulative basis, cash dividends to New York Bancorp in an amount not to exceed 75% of its net income from November 30, 1988 to date, plus $5.0 million. 3-FOR-2 STOCK SPLITS AND STOCK DIVIDEND The Company declared two 3-for-2 common stock splits which were distributed on October 22, 1992 and July 29, 1993, in the form of stock dividends. Additionally, the Company declared a ten percent stock dividend which became effective on February 14, 1994. Accordingly, information with respect to shares of common stock has been restated in all periods presented to fully reflect the two stock splits and the stock dividend. TREASURY STOCK TRANSACTIONS During the year ended September 30, 1995, New York Bancorp repurchased 1,431,700 shares under its present stock repurchase plan. On October 26, 1995 the Board of Directors approved the repurchase of up to an additional 10% of the Company's outstanding common stock, bringing the total current authority for repurchase to 1,387,278 shares. At September 30, 1995, the Company has 2,607,876 shares of Treasury stock which, among other things, could be held to satisfy obligations under the Company's stock option plans. Treasury stock is being accounted for using the cost method. REGULATORY CAPITAL As required by regulation of the OTS, savings institutions are required to maintain capital requirements in the form of a "tangible capital requirement," a "core capital requirement" and a "risk-based capital requirement." As of September 30, 1995, the Savings Bank continued to exceed all regulatory capital requirements. (18) BENEFITS PENSION PLAN All eligible employees of the Savings Bank are included in a defined benefit pension plan (the "Plan"). Benefits contemplated by the Plan are funded through a group annuity insurance contract. The Savings Bank contributes to the Plan an amount sufficient to meet ERISA funding standards. Hamilton had maintained a noncontributory defined benefit plan for all eligible employees. The plan was funded through a deposit administration contract with an insurance company. As of May 1, 1994, the plan was curtailed and all future benefit accruals ceased. The plan curtailment resulted in a net gain of approximately $181,000. Subsequent to the merger, all former Hamilton employees retained by the Savings Bank meeting plan requirements became eligible for participation in the Plan. The Savings Bank intends to merge the former Hamilton plan with that of the Savings Bank effective December 31, 1995, subject to regulatory approval. The following table sets forth the funded status of the Savings Bank's and Hamilton's plans and amounts recognized in the Company's consolidated financial statements at September 30 (in thousands): 1995 1994 __________ __________ Actuarial present value of benefit obligation: Accumulated benefit obligation, including vested benefits of $9,781 in 1995 and $9,721 in 1994................................ $ 10,352 $ 10,184 ========== ========== Projected benefit obligations for service rendered to date.................... $ 10,380 $ 10,952 Plan assets at fair value..................................................... 10,284 10,597 __________ __________ Projected benefit obligation in excess of plan assets.........................

The following sets forth the SERP Plan's status and amounts recognized in the Company's consolidated financial statements at September 30: 1995 1994 ___________ ___________ (In Thousands) Actuarial present value of benefit obligation: Accumulated benefit obligation, including vested benefits of $821 in 1995 and $627 in 1994.................................... $ 1,120 $ 780 =========== =========== Projected benefit obligations for service rendered to date.................... $ 1,122 $ 1,608 Plan assets at fair value..................................................... -- -- ___________ ___________ Projected benefit obligation in excess of plan assets.........................

N/A N/A N/A A feature of the Savings Bank's SERP Plan is to restore to participants benefits reduced by the limits of Section 415(c) of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"). Section 415(c) of the Code limits the amount of the contribution that can be made to a qualified plan each year with respect to each participant. Hamilton had also maintained a SERP. On January 27, 1995, as a result of the merger, Hamilton's SERP was terminated in accordance with the plan's change in control provision and distributions in the aggregate amount of $307,000 were made to all eligible participants. Included in compensation and benefit expense is $179,000 and $65,000 for the years ended September 30, 1994 and 1993, respectively. Fiscal year 1995 includes $63,000 in merger and restructuring expenses related to the termination of Hamilton's SERP. 401(k) PLAN The Savings Bank maintains a 401(k) Savings Plan (the "401(k) Plan") for all qualified employees. The terms of the 401(k) Plan provide for employee contributions on a pre-tax basis up to a maximum of 10% of total compensation, with matching contributions to be made by the Savings Bank equal to a minimum of 50% of employee contributions. Hamilton also had a qualified 401(k) savings plan for its employees in which Hamilton matched a portion of the employee's contribution. Hamilton's employees immediately became fully vested in Hamilton's contributions at the time they were made. The Savings Bank intends to merge the former Hamilton plan with that of the Savings Bank effective December 31, 1995, subject to regulatory approval. 39 RETIREE'S BENEFIT PLAN The Company adopted SFAS No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits other than Pensions" effective October 1, 1993. The Savings Bank, as part of its overall benefits, provides to its eligible retirees health coverage and life insurance coverage. Eligible participants are retired employees of the Savings Bank who retire with a minimum age of 55 and 5 years of service. The Company has elected to defer and amortize to expense over a twenty year period the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation of $3.2 million at the date of adoption. The plan is non-contributory for those retirees who retired prior to July 1992. The plan was amended during the current fiscal year. The amendment included an increase in the cost for future retirees and placing a cap on the Savings Bank's share of plan costs. Former Hamilton employees became covered under this amended plan effective February 1, 1995. The following table sets forth the plan's status and amounts recognized in the Company's consolidated financial statements at September 30, 1995 (in thousands): Accumulated postretirement benefit obligation: Retirees including covered dependents and beneficiaries.................... $ 2,169 Eligible active participants............................................... 536 Other active participants.................................................. 401 ____________ Total accumulated postretirement benefit obligation.................... 3,106 Plan assets.................................................................... -- ____________ Accumulated benefit obligation in excess of plan assets........................

(87) (293) ___________ ___________ Total postretirement benefit expense.......................................... $ 338 $ 506 =========== =========== The above plan does not have any assets and the Company presently intends to maintain the plan as unfunded. The assumed long-term health care cost trend used to measure the expected cost of benefits under the plan for 1995 is 5.00%. The discount rate used in determining the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation is 9.00%. The effect of raising the health care trend by 1% will increase the service and interest cost and the accumulated benefit obligation by approximately $54,000 and $303,000, respectively. The amounts included in compensation and benefit expense for the above plans are as follows: Year ended September 30, 1995 1994 1993 __________ __________ __________ (In Thousands) Pension plan........................................................ $ (47) $ 566 $ 799 Supplemental executives retirement plan............................. 135 608 183 401(k) plan......................................................... 408 424 515 Retirees' benefit plan.............................................. 338 506 49 __________ __________ __________ $ 834 $ 2,104 $ 1,546 ========== ========== ========== Hamilton had also maintained a noncontributory retirement plan for its outside directors. The plan provided benefits for participants upon reaching age 65, and required at least 5 years of service, but not exceeding 10 years of service. On January 27, 1995, the plan was terminated in accordance with the plan's change in control provisions and distributions, in the aggregate amount of $1,039,600 were made to all eligible participants. Included in compensation and benefit expense is $25,000, $100,000, and $100,000 for the years ended September 30, 1995, 1994, and 1993, respectively. Fiscal year 1995 also includes $638,000 in merger and restructuring expense related to the plan. (19) STOCK PLANS STOCK OPTION PLANS The stock option plans permit New York Bancorp common stock to be issued to key employees and directors of the Company and its subsidiary. The options granted under the plans are intended to be either incentive stock options or non-qualified options. Options have been granted to purchase common stock at the fair market value of the stock at the date of grant. Options generally vest over a three year period from the date of grant and generally expire ten years from the date of grant for employees and five years from the date of grant for directors. Hamilton maintained incentive stock option plans for its officers, directors and other key employees. Generally, these plans granted options to individuals at a price equivalent to the fair market value at the date of grant and were exercisable over a ten year period from the date of grant. In accordance with the plans' change in control provisions, the individuals became fully vested in their stock option grants on the merger date, January 27, 1995. The options were exchanged for options of the Company, and are set forth separately in the table below. Additionally, stock appreciation rights ("SARs") have been granted to key employees of the Company and its subsidiary. SARs entitle the grantee to receive cash equal to the excess of the market value of the shares at the date the right is exercised over the exercise price. An expense is accrued for the earned portion of the amount by which the market value of the stock exceeds the exercise price for each SAR outstanding. The expense related to the SARs for the years ended September 30, 1995, 1994 and 1993 was approximately $171,000, $360,000 and $228,000, respectively. 40 The following table summarizes certain information regarding the option plans and has been prepared after giving effect to the two 3-for-2 common stock splits and the ten percent stock dividend.

The Company contributed $540,000 to the MRP to enable it to acquire 222,750 shares (adjusted for the 3-for-2 stock splits and the ten percent stock dividend) of common stock in the Conversion. Such amount represents deferred compensation and has been accounted for as a reduction of shareholders' equity. During the year ended September 30, 1993, awards, under the MRP's original terms became fully vested. The Company recorded expense of $36,000 during the year ended September 30, 1993 (none in fiscal year 1995 and 1994). Hamilton maintained a Recognition and Retention Plan (the "RRP"), under which restricted stock awards were made to officers, directors and other key employees, and an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the "ESOP"). In accordance with the plans' change in control provisions, the participants became fully vested on the merger date, January 27, 1995. Distributions of the shares in the plans have been made to participants. Included in compensation and benefit expense is $464,000, $1,491,000, and $623,000 for the years ended September 30, 1995, 1994, and 1993, respectively. Fiscal year 1995 also includes $4,992,000 in merger and restructuring expense related to these plans. (20) COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND CONTRACTS In the normal course of its business, the Company is a defendant in certain claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, after consultation with legal counsel, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition of the Company. On July 1, 1994, a purported class action complaint was filed in the Delaware Chancery Court on behalf of the shareholders of Hamilton by Adar Equities, Ltd. as plaintiff, naming, among others, New York Bancorp as a defendant. An identical complaint was filed by the Serious Software Corporation on July 7, 1994 in the Delaware Chancery Court. Plaintiffs allege that certain directors and senior officers of Hamilton breached their fiduciary duties to Hamilton shareholders. New York Bancorp is alleged to have aided and abetted this breach by allegedly providing them the promise of continued employment and monetary incentives in exchange for entering into a merger agreement. Plaintiffs claimed that if the merger was approved by shareholders of New York Bancorp and Hamilton, the consideration that Hamilton shareholders would receive in exchange for their Hamilton common stock would be "grossly inadequate." Plaintiffs seek various remedies, including an injunction to prevent the consummation of the merger and compensatory damages in an unspecified amount. On September 19, 1994, defendants moved to dismiss the complaints on the ground that they fail to state a claim upon which relief could be granted. The Company has obligations under a number of noncancellable leases on property used for banking purposes. These leases contain escalation clauses which provide for increased rental expense based on a percentage of increases in real estate taxes. Rental expense under these leases, included in other operating expenses - occupancy, for the years ended September 30, 1995, 1994 and 1993 approximated $2,040,000, $2,025,000 and $1,935,000, respectively. 41 The projected minimum rentals under existing operating leases are as follows: Year ending September 30, Amount _____________ ______ (In Thousands) 1996........................................ $ 1,745 1997........................................ 1,734 1998........................................ 1,722 1999........................................ 1,548 2000........................................ 885 Later years................................. 4,186 ________ $ 11,820 ======== Legislation currently before the United States Congress reportedly provides for a one-time, special assessment on all SAIF insured deposits of approximately $.85 to $.90 per $100 of deposits. This one-time assessment which is intended to recapitalize the SAIF to the required level of 1.25% of insured deposits, may be an expense of the first or second quarter of fiscal year 1996, depending on the enactment, timing and final wording of such legislation. If the assessment is made at the proposed rates, the effect on the Savings Bank would be a charge of approximately $12.2 million to $13.0 million. It is anticipated that if the one-time assessment is levied, and the SAIF brought to its required level, the Savings Bank may see a decrease in the annual deposit premium in future periods. (21) OFF-BALANCE SHEET FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The Company enters into a variety of financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business. INTEREST RATE SWAP ARRANGEMENTS The Company enters into interest rate swap arrangements to manage the repricing characteristics of its interest-bearing liabilities. Such agreements provide for the concurrent exchange of its current and future interest payments on either short-term money market certificates of deposit accounts or variable rate borrowed funds for another party's obligations for interest payments on an equivalent amount of fixed-rate indebtedness. The principal or notional amounts of these arrangements are not reflected in the consolidated statements of financial condition. The incremental revenue or expense associated with interest rate swaps is recognized over the term of the swap arrangement and is presented as a component of the interest expense of the related liability. Gains and losses resulting from the early termination of swap arrangements are amortized over the remaining term of the swap arrangement. The effect of interest rate swap arrangements at September 30, 1995 was to fix the Company's interest cost at a weighted average rate of 5.74% on the agreed-upon amount of funds for approximately 3 months, the remaining weighted average terms of the arrangements. Outstanding notional amounts of interest rate swap arrangements approximated $205,000,000 at September 30, 1995 and 1994. At September 30, 1995, $5.9 million of mortgage-backed securities were pledged as collateral on these arrangements. The Savings Bank's credit risk with respect to the interest rate swap agreements is in the risk of nonperformance by the other party to the agreements. However, the Savings Bank does not anticipate nonperformance by the counterparty and controls the risk through its usual monitoring procedures. Interest rate swaps outstanding at September 30, 1995 are summarized as follows (in thousands): Fixed Variable Notional Interest Rate Interest Rate Amount Paying Receiving Maturity __________ _____________ _______________ __________ $ 10,000 8.323% 5.565% February 1996 5,000 8.120% 5.938% February 1996 5,000 8.120% 5.953% February 1996 10,000 8.390% 5.922% March 1996 5,000 8.380% 5.828% April 1996 5,000 8.310% 5.875% May 1996 65,000 4.040% 5.795% January 1996 35,000 6.515% 5.795% January 1996 ____________ $ 140,000 ============ In addition to the above $140.0 million, at September 30, 1995 the Savings Bank had an interest rate swap arrangement with a notional value of $65.0 million whereby the Savings Bank is receiving a fixed rate of 5.80% and paying a variable rate based on Federal funds (5.795% on September 30, 1995). This interest rate swap which matures in January 1996 effectively unwound the $65.0 million interest rate swap noted in the table above at an effective locked in spread of 176 basis points. At September 30, 1995 the Company's interest rate swaps had an unrealized loss amounting to $.5 million. Further, at September 30, 1995 there was $27,000 of net deferred gains relating to terminated interest rate swap contracts. INTEREST RATE FLOOR AND INTEREST RATE CAP ARRANGEMENTS The Company uses interest rate floor and interest rate cap arrangements to protect the Savings Bank against interest rate risk associated with the repricing of its interest-bearing liabilities. Premiums paid for interest rate floor and interest rate cap arrangements are amortized to interest expense of the related liability over the contractual terms of these arrangements using the straight-line method. When a liability is prepaid, any related interest rate floor or cap is re-designated to another interest-bearing liability at the lower of cost or estimated market value and the loss, if any, is included in the gain or loss on early extinguishment of the liability. Interest received under the terms of these arrangements is accrued and recorded as a reduction of interest expense of the related interest-bearing liability. During fiscal year 1995 the Savings Bank was a party to $1.0 billion of interest rate floor agreements which were scheduled to expire on February 22, 1998. During the year, in an effort to secure the hedge position provided against the aforementioned interest rate risk, the Savings Bank terminated its position as a party to the $1.0 billion of interest rate floor agreements. Accordingly, and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, the Company deferred recognition of the gain on the terminated interest rate floor agreements and is amortizing such gain as an adjustment to the cost of interest-bearing deposit liabilities over the original contractual life of the interest rate floor agreements. At September 30, 1995 the amount of the unamortized gain was $7.4 million. 42 STOCK INDEXED CALL OPTIONS The Savings Bank uses stock indexed call options for purposes of hedging its recently introduced MarketSmart CD's and MarketSmart I.R.A. CD's. The call options hedge the interest rate paid on these 5 year CD deposits which is an annual percentage yield based on the changes in the Standard & Poor's ("S&P") 500 Composite Stock Price Index during each of the 5 year terms of the CDs. Premiums paid on the call options are amortized to interest expense over the terms of the underlying CD using the straight line method. Gains and losses, if any, resulting from the early termination of the call option are deferred and amortized to interest expense over the remaining term of the underlying CD. At September 30, 1995 the Company had approximately $2.6 million in contracts for purposes of hedging the "Standard & Poor's 500" index. The call options maturities range from March 1999 through August 1999. The Company carries stock indexed call options at market value. Further, at September 30, 1995 there were no deferred gains or losses relating to terminated contracts. FINANCIAL FUTURES TRANSACTIONS The Company from time to time may enter into various financial futures contracts to protect against changes in the market value of various interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, including the repricing of interest rate floor arrangements. Realized gains and losses on these contracts are deferred and accounted for as premiums or discounts on the related assets, liabilities or interest rate floor resets to the extent such contracts are matched against specific assets, liabilities or interest rate floor resets and meet specific hedge correlation criteria. Contracts which are not matched against specific assets, liabilities, or the repricing of interest rate floor arrangements or do not meet correlation criteria are accounted for at market value with the resulting gain or loss recognized in operations. At September 30, 1995 and 1994 the Company has no outstanding financial future transactions. During the years ended September 30, 1995, 1994 and 1993, the Savings Bank's net interest income increased (decreased) by $1.2 million, ($1.5) million and $.5 million, respectively, as a net result of off-balance sheet financial instruments. (22) FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the asset or obligation could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the entire holdings of a particular financial instrument. Because no market value exists for a significant portion of the financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments, and other factors. These estimates are subjective in nature, involve uncertainties and matters of judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates. Fair value estimates are determined for on and off-balance sheet financial instruments, without attempting to estimate the value of anticipated future business, and the value of assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments. Additionally, tax consequences related to the realization of the unrealized gains and losses can have a potential effect on fair value estimates and have not been considered in many of the estimates. The following table summarizes the carrying values and estimated fair values of the Company's on-balance sheet financial instruments: September 30, _______________________________________________________________________ 1995 1994 _________________________________ __________________________________ Estimated Estimated Carrying Fair Carrying Fair Value Value Value Value ______________ _______________ _______________ _______________ (In Thousands) FINANCIAL ASSETS: Cash and cash equivalents............ $ 45,104 $ 45,104 $ 41,865 $ 41,865 Trading account securities........... 2,003 2,003 12,939 12,939 Investment securities................ 67,452 67,380 53,164 51,570 Federal Home Loan Bank stock......... 20,288 20,288 17,409 17,409 Mortgage-backed securities........... 871,520 844,297 957,576 902,483 Loans receivable, net................ 1,664,943 1,690,532 1,432,354 1,440,865 FINANCIAL LIABILITIES: Deposits............................. 1,748,874 1,755,704 1,791,514 1,781,604 Borrowed funds....................... 767,138 767,735 578,897 577,756 The following methods and assumptions were utilized in estimating the fair values of its on-balance sheet financial instruments at September 30, 1995 and 1994: CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS The estimated fair values are assumed to equal the carrying values as these financial instruments are either due on demand or mature within 90 days. INVESTMENT SECURITIES AND MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES Estimated fair values of mortgage-backed securities and investment securities, both available for sale and held to maturity, are generally predicated upon quoted market prices or dealer quotes, or in the absence of such quotes, on quoted market prices for securities with similar credit, maturity and interest rate characteristics. LOANS RECEIVABLE, NET Estimated fair values are calculated for pools of loans with similar characteristics. The loans are first segregated by type, such as one-to-four family residential, other residential, commercial, and consumer, and then further segregated into fixed and adjustable rate categories and seasoned and nonseasoned categories. 43 Estimated fair values are derived by discounting expected future cash flows. Expected future cash flows are based on contractual cash flows, adjusted for prepayments. Prepayment estimates are based on a variety of factors including the Savings Bank's experience with respect to each loan category, the effect of current economic and lending conditions, and regional statistics for each loan category, if available. The discount rates used are based on market rates for new loans of similar type and purpose, adjusted, when necessary, for factors such as servicing cost, credit risk, and term. As mentioned previously, this technique of estimating fair value is extremely sensitive to the assumptions and estimates used. While management has attempted to use assumptions and estimates which are the most reflective of the loan portfolio and the current market, a greater degree of subjectivity is inherent in these values than those determined in formal trading marketplaces. As such, readers are cautioned in using this information for purposes of evaluating the financial condition and/or value of the Company in and of itself or in comparison with any other company. OTHER RECEIVABLES AND PAYABLES The estimated fair values are estimated to equal the carrying values of short-term receivables and payables, including accrued interest. DEPOSITS The fair value of deposit liabilities with no stated maturity (NOW, money market, savings accounts and non-interest bearing accounts, which represent 57.4% of all deposit liabilities) are equal to the carrying amounts payable on demand. The fair value of certificates of deposit represent contractual cash flows discounted using interest rates currently offered on deposits with similar characteristics and remaining maturities. Under generally accepted accounting principles, these estimated fair values do not include the intangible value of core deposit relationships which comprise a significant portion of the Savings Bank's deposit base. However, management believes that the Savings Bank's core deposit relationships provide a relatively stable, low cost funding source which has a substantial intangible value separate from the deposit balances. BORROWED FUNDS The estimated fair value of borrowed funds is calculated based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows using interest rates currently in effect for borrowings with similar maturities and collateral requirements. At September 30, 1994, the Savings Bank had $150,000,000 of borrowed funds consisting of capped variable rate repurchase agreements. Such agreements had imbedded interest rate caps ranging from 3.92% to 4.25% which matured between February 1995 and May 1995. The borrowed funds reflect the unrealized gain in the estimated fair value of the imbedded interest rate caps of $.8 million. OFF-BALANCE SHEET FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The fair values of interest rate swap agreements, interest rate caps, interest rate floors and stock indexed call options are obtained from dealer quotes and represent the cost of terminating the agreements. The estimated fair value of open off-balance sheet financial instruments results in an unrealized gain (loss) of $(.5) million and $.1 million at September 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Further, the estimated fair value of commitments to extend credit is estimated using the fees charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the present creditworthiness of the counterparties. Generally, for fixed-rate loan commitments, fair value also considers the difference between current levels of interest rates and the committed interest rates. The fair value of commitments to purchase mortgage-backed securities is based on the estimated cost to terminate them or otherwise settle the obligations with the counterparties. The estimated fair value of these off-balance sheet financial instruments results in no unrealized gain or loss at September 30, 1995 and 1994. (23) RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In May 1993, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan" ("SFAS No. 114"). In October 1994, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 118 "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan -- Income Recognition and Disclosures" ("SFAS No. 118") which amended SFAS No. 114 (collectively the "Statements"). Both Statements are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1994. These Statements address the accounting by creditors for impairment of certain loans which, among other things, include all loans that are restructured in a troubled debt restructuring involving a modification of terms. They require that impaired loans that are within the scope of these Statements be measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate or, as a practical expedient, at the loan's observable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. Based upon a review of these Statements, management has determined that the adoption of SFAS No. 114 and SFAS No. 118 on a prospective basis will not have a materially adverse effect on the Company. In March 1995, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-lived Assets and for Long-lived Assets To Be Disposed Of" ("SFAS No. 121"). The Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995. The Statement establishes accounting standards for, among other things, the impairment of long-lived assets. The Statement requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Based upon a review of the Statement, management does not believe that the adoption of SFAS No. 121 would have a materially adverse effect on the Company. In May 1995, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 122, "Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights" ("SFAS No. 122"). The Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995. The Statement establishes accounting standards for mortgage servicing rights, which are the contractual right to service loans owned by others, typically for a fee. Prior to this Statement, only purchased mortgage servicing rights were capitalized as an asset. SFAS No. 122 requires originated mortgage 44 servicing rights (OMSR) to be capitalized as an asset. OMSR represent mortgage servicing rights acquired when an institution originates and subsequently sells mortgage loans but retains the servicing rights. The Statement also requires all capitalized mortgage servicing rights to be evaluated for impairment based on their value. Management is reviewing its options for adopting SFAS No. 122, which includes thepossibility of adopting the Statement as of October 1, 1995. The Statement will be adopted on a prospective basis, and the positive impact on future earnings would depend on the level of future mortgage loan sales, with servicing retained. Future earnings could also be negatively impacted when capitalized mortgage servicing rights are subsequently evaluated for impairment. In October 1995, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS No. 123"). The Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995. The Statement establishes accounting and reporting standards for stock-based employee compensation awards granted in fiscal years that begin after December 15, 1994. Examples of such plans are stock purchase plans, stock options, restricted stock, and stock appreciation rights. The Statement defines a fair value based method of accounting for employee stock options or similar equity instruments and encourages all entities to adopt that method of accounting. Entities may elect, however, to remain with previous accounting standards which do not require the fair value method of accounting. Those entities electing not to adopt the fair value method of accounting must make pro forma disclosures of net income and earnings per share as if the fair value method of accounting defined in the Statement were adopted. Under the fair value based method, compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period. Management has not yet performed a review to determine the effect this Statement could have on the Company. However, if the Company adopts fair value accounting for its stock-based compensation plans, compensation and benefit expense would be increased, and earnings decreased, for options granted in future periods. In May 1993, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" ("SFAS No. 115"). Under SFAS No. 115, investment and mortgage-backed securities which a company has the positive intent and ability to hold until maturity are carried at cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts on a level yield method. Investment and mortgage-backed securities to be held for indefinite periods of time and not intended to be held to maturity and marketable equity securities are classified as available for sale securities and are recorded at fair value, with unrealized appreciation and depreciation, net of tax, reported as a separate component of shareholders' equity. In November 1995, the FASB issued an implementation guide for SFAS No. 115. The implementation guide provides guidance in the form of a question and answer format and would allow an opportunity from mid-November 1995 to December 31, 1995 for companies to reclassify securities in the held to maturity portfolio to securities in the available for sale portfolio without tainting the remainder of the portfolio. Management has not yet performed a review to determine the effect this implementation guide could have on the Company. (24) PARENT COMPANY ONLY FINANCIAL INFORMATION New York Bancorp operates a wholly owned subsidiary, Home Federal Savings Bank. The earnings of the Savings Bank are recognized by the Holding Company using the equity method of accounting. Accordingly, earnings of the Savings Bank are recorded as increases in the Holding Company's investment and any dividends would reduce the Holding Company's investment in the Savings Bank. The following is the condensed financial statements for New York Bancorp Inc. (parent company only) as of September 30, 1995 and 1994 and for the years ended September 30, 1995, 1994 and 1993: CONDENSED STATEMENTS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION September 30, ___________________________ 1995 1994 ___________ ____________ (In Thousands) ASSETS Cash and due from banks........................................................... $ 112 $ 4,185 Money market investments.......................................................... 8,418 4,002 Investment securities available for sale.......................................... 4,489 156 Mortgage-backed securities available for sale..................................... -- 7,922 Investment in Savings Bank, at equity............................................. 146,169 158,376 Other............................................................................. 80 657 ___________ ____________ $ 159,268 $ 175,298 =========== ============ LIABILITIES AND SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY Borrowed funds.................................................................... $ -- $ 2,174 Other liabilities................................................................. 2,882 1,833 ___________ ____________ 2,882 4,007 Shareholders' equity.............................................................. 156,386 171,291 ___________ ____________ $ 159,268 $ 175,298 =========== ============ CONDENSED STATEMENTS OF INCOME Year ended September 30, ____________________________________________ 1995 1994 1993 ____________ ____________ ____________ (In Thousands) Dividend from Savings Bank...................................... $ 26,200 $ 11,879 $ 5,774 Interest income................................................. 720 685 683 Interest expense................................................
