              NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Item 1. Financial Information

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

         The accounting and reporting  policies of Staten Island  Bancorp,  Inc.
(the  "Company")  and  subsidiaries  conform to  generally  accepted  accounting
principles and to general practice within the banking industry.

Basis of Financial Statement Presentation

         The accompanying  unaudited  consolidated  financial statements include
the  accounts of the Company and its wholly  owned  subsidiary,  SI Bank & Trust
(the "Bank"), and the Bank's subsidiaries.  The Bank's wholly owned subsidiaries
are SIB Mortgage Corp.  (the  "Mortgage  Company"),  SIB Investment  Corporation
("SIBIC"), Staten Island Funding Corporation ("SIFC") and SIB Financial Services
Corporation ("SIBFSC").  All significant intercompany  transactions and balances
are eliminated in consolidation.

         The unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein reflect
all normal  recurring  adjustments  which  are,  in the  opinion of  management,
necessary  for a fair  presentation  of the  results  for  the  interim  periods
presented.  The results of operations for the three month period ended March 31,
2002 are not  necessarily  indicative of the results to be expected for the year
ending  December 31, 2002.  Certain  information and note  disclosures  normally
included in financial  statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting  principles have been condensed or omitted  pursuant to the rules and
regulations   of  the  Securities   and  Exchange   Commission.   The  unaudited
consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited
consolidated  financial  statements and notes thereto  included in the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001.

         In preparing  the  consolidated  financial  statements,  management  is
required to make  estimates  and  assumptions  that affect the reported  assets,
liabilities,  revenues and expenses as of the dates of the financial statements.
Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

Organization and Form of Ownership

         The Bank was originally  founded as a New York State chartered  savings
bank in 1864. In August 1997, the Bank converted to a federally chartered mutual
savings bank and is now  regulated  by the OTS. On April 16, 1997,  the Board of
Directors of the Bank adopted a Plan of  Conversion  to convert from a federally
chartered  mutual savings bank to a federally  chartered stock savings bank with
the concurrent  formation of a holding company (the  "Conversion").  The Company
completed its initial  public  offering and  Conversion on December 22, 1997 and
issued 45,130,312 shares of common stock, $.01 par value per share.

         The Company,  on November 19, 2001,  paid a stock dividend of one share
for each share of stock held (two-for-one stock split) to shareholders of record
on  November  5,  2001.  At March  31,  2002 the  number of  shares  issued  was
90,260,624  and the  number  of shares  outstanding  was  61,874,940.  All share
amounts and earnings per share amounts have been adjusted for the stock split.

The Bank has the following wholly owned subsidiaries:

         The  Mortgage  Company was  incorporated  in the State of New Jersey in
1998. The Mortgage  Company  currently  originates loans in 42 states and, as of
March 31, 2002,  had assets  totaling $1.3 billion of which $998.1  million were
loans held for sale, net.

         SIFC is a wholly owned  subsidiary of SIBIC,  incorporated in the State
of  Maryland in 1998 for the purpose of  establishing  a real estate  investment
trust ("REIT"). The assets of SIFC totaled $665.7 million at March 31, 2002.

         SIBIC  was  incorporated  in the  State of New  Jersey  in 1998 for the
purpose of managing  certain  investments of the Bank. The Bank  transferred the
common  stock  and a  majority  of the  preferred  stock of SIFC to  SIBIC.  The
consolidated assets of SIBIC at March 31, 2002 were $917.9 million.

the SBLI USA Mutual  Life  Insurance  Co. In the second  quarter of 2002,  it is
anticipated  that  this  subsidiary  will  begin  to offer  certain  non-deposit
investment  products  such as mutual funds and annuities  along with  additional
insurance  products  using a third  party  vendor.  The  assets of  SIBFSC  were
$527,600 as of March 31, 2002.

Item 2. Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
        of Operations

Forward-Looking Statements

         This  Form  10-Q  contains  certain   forward-looking   statements  and
information  relating to the Company that are based on the beliefs of management
as  well  as  assumptions  made  by  and  information   currently  available  to
management.  In addition,  in portions of this document and the Company's Annual
Report to Stockholders, the words "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "expect,"
"intend,"  "should" and similar  expressions,  or the negative thereof,  as they
relate to the  Company or the  Company's  management,  are  intended to identify
forward-looking  statements.  Such  statements  reflect the current views of the
Company with respect to future  looking events and are subject to certain risks,
uncertainties   and   assumptions.   Should  one  or  more  of  these  risks  or
uncertainties  materialize or should  underlying  assumptions  prove  incorrect,
actual results may vary materially  from those described  herein as anticipated,
believed, estimated, expected or intended. The Company does not intend to update
these forward-looking statements.

Changes in Financial Condition

         The Company  recorded  total  assets of $6.2  billion at March 31, 2002
compared to total assets of $6.0  billion at December  31,  2001.  The growth of
$177.1  million or 3.0% was due to an increase of $186.3  million in loans,  net
and an  increase  of $152.7  million in  securities  available  for sale.  These
increases were partially  offset by a $189.2 million  decrease in loans held for
sale,  net. The  increase in loans,  net was due to the  originations  of $224.5
million of primarily  residential  loans by the Bank during the first quarter of
2002.  The  level  of  originations   reflects  the  Bank's  continued  business
development  efforts to originate both  residential and commercial  loans in its
primary market area. The increase in loans, net was also due to the retention of
$189.5  million  of  higher  yielding,  primarily  adjustable  rate  residential
mortgage loans originated by the Mortgage  Company.  The increase in securities,
available for sale was due to  management's  plan to invest excess cash flows in
the securities  portfolio.  Securities  purchases for the quarter totaled $366.4
million of which $39.8  million were US Government  agencies and $303.0  million
were agency  backed CMOs and  mortgage-backed  securities.  Loans held for sale,
net,  decreased  due to loan  sales  of $1.5  billion  by the  Mortgage  Company
compared to originations  of $1.3 billion by the Mortgage  Company for the first
quarter  of  2002.  It is  anticipated  that in the  current  rate  environment,
originations by the Mortgage Company will remain at  approximately  $1.3 billion
for the second quarter of 2002.

         Deposits increased $194.7 million or 6.7% during the first three months
of 2002 and totalled $3.1 billion at March 31, 2002. This increase was primarily
due to a $99.2  million  increase in money market  accounts and a $70.1  million
increase in savings accounts. The increase in money market accounts is primarily
due to the  introduction  of a new deposit  account known as the "Edge" account,
which is a higher  yielding money market account which also requires the opening
of a  non-interest  bearing DDA account and is promoted  primarily in the Bank's
New Jersey markets.  The growth in savings accounts,  which was primarily in the
Bank's Staten Island market, was due to the current rate environment making this
product  attractive to depositors and the level of service provided by the Bank.
Core  deposits,  which consist of savings,  money market,  NOW and DDA accounts,
represented  64.8% of deposits at March 31, 2002.  The Company  believes that it
can maintain this level of core deposits  primarily due to the quality  customer
service offered by the Bank and the current rate environment.

         The  Company's  borrowings at both March 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001
were $2.5  billion.  Borrowings  as a percentage of assets at March 31, 2002 and
December  31, 2001 were 39.7% and 40.9%,  respectively.  The Company  intends to
reduce  borrowings  as a percentage  of assets in 2002 and continue to emphasize

         Stockholders'  equity  amounted to $549.4 million at March 31, 2002 and
$552.2  million at December  31,  2001 or 8.9% and 9.2% of total  assets at such
dates,  respectively.  The decrease of $2.7 million was due to the repurchase of
1.1 million  shares of the  Company's  common stock at a cost of $20.3  million,
aggregate cash dividend  payments of $6.2 million and a $7.6 million increase in
the  unrealized  depreciation  on securities  available for sale,  net of taxes.
These  decreases  were  partially  offset  by net  income of $22.0  million,  an
allocation of Employee Stock Ownership Plan "ESOP" shares and Recognition and

Retention  Plan "RRP"  shares  resulting  in an increase of $2.3 million and the
exercise of 448,842 stock options resulting in an increase of $7.1 million.  The
tangible book value per share of the  Company's  common stock was $7.93 at March
31, 2002 compared to $7.89 at December 31, 2001.

Results of Operations

         The  Company  reported  net income of $22.0  million or $0.38 per fully
diluted  share for the three months ended March 31, 2002  compared to net income
of $14.0 million or $0.22 per fully diluted share for the comparable time period
last year.  Cash  earnings for the first  quarter of 2002 were $24.0  million or
$0.41 per fully  diluted  share  compared to cash  earnings of $16.9  million or
$0.27 per fully  diluted  share for the first  quarter of 2001.  The increase of
$0.16 in fully diluted  earnings per share  represents a 72.7%  increase and the
$0.14  increase in cash  earnings per share  represents a 51.9%  increase.  Cash
earnings  represent the  Company's net income  increased by adding back non-cash
expenses  net of  applicable  taxes  related  to the ESOP and RRP  plans and the
amortization of goodwill.  Core earnings which represent the Company's  earnings
excluding  securities  gains  and  losses,  net of taxes,  were  $0.38 per fully
diluted share for the current first quarter  compared to $0.22 per fully diluted
share, an increase of 72.7% over the first quarter of 2001.

         The return on average  equity and average  assets for the three  months
ended Mach 31,  2002 was 16.06% and 1.46%,  respectively,  compared to 9.77% and
1.06%, respectively, for the comparable time period last year.

         The  increase  in net  income  for the  quarter  ended  March 31,  2002
compared  to the  same  quarter  one year  ago was due to an  increase  of $29.8
million in other income and a $12.1  million  increase in net  interest  income.
These increases were partially offset by a $28.0 million increase in total other
expenses,  a $5.0  million  increase  in the  provision  for income  taxes and a
$900,000 increase in the provision for loan losses.

                                       17



Interest Income

     The Company's total interest income was $94.2 million for the first quarter
of 2002 compared to $90.7 million for the first quarter of 2001. The increase of
$3.5 million was due to a $10.4  million  increase in the  interest  income from
loans  partially  offset by a $7.0  million  decrease  in  interest  income from
securities.  The  increase  in  interest  income  from loans was due to a $861.9
million  increase in the average balance of the loan portfolio  partially offset
by a decline  in the  average  yield on loans to 7.15% for the first  quarter of
2002  compared  to 7.77% for the first  quarter  of 2001.  The  increase  in the
average  balance of the loan portfolio was due to the increase in loans held for
sale at the Mortgage Company,  the retention of higher yielding loans originated
by the Mortgage Company for the Bank's portfolio and increased loan originations
by the Bank.  The decrease in the average yield on the loan portfolio was due to
the generally lower interest rate environment  over the past twelve months.  The
decrease in interest  income on securities was due to a $293.9 million  decrease
in the average balance of the securities  portfolio and, to a lesser extent, the
56 basis  point  decrease in the average  yield on  securities  to 6.10% for the
first  quarter of 2002.  The decrease in the average  balance of the  securities
portfolio was due to the use of cash flows generated by the securities portfolio
to fund higher yielding loan  originations  during the year 2001. The decline in
the average yield on the securities portfolio is primarily due to the lower rate
environment  and the  accelerated  paydown  of higher  yielding  mortgage-backed
securities in this interest rate environment.

Interest Expense

     The  Company's  total  interest  expense for the first  quarter of 2002 was
$46.3  million  compared  to $54.8  million for the first  quarter of 2001.  The
decrease of $8.5 million or 15.5% is primarily due to a $3.6 million decrease in
interest  expense on  certificates  of deposit  and a $6.7  million  decrease in
interest  expense on borrowed funds partially  offset by a $1.6 million increase
in interest expense on NOW and money market  accounts.  The decrease in interest
expense on  certificates  of deposit was due to a 188 basis point decline in the
average cost to 3.89% for the first quarter of 2002 partially offset by a $100.1
million increase in the average balance of certificates of deposit.  The decline
in the  average  cost of  certificates  of deposit  was due to the  rollover  of
maturing  certificates of deposit to lower rates  reflective of the current rate
environment.  The increase in the average balance of certificates of deposit was
due to managements'  plan to increase retail deposits and the opening of two new
branches  in the  first  quarter  of 2002.  The Bank  also  expects  to open two
branches in the second  quarter of 2002 as it  continues  its  expansion  in the
State of New Jersey.  The decrease in interest expense on borrowed funds was due
to a 153 basis point decline in the average cost of borrowed  funds to 4.61% for
the three  months  ended March 31,  2002  partially  offset by a $179.1  million
increase in the average balance of borrowings.  The decrease in the average cost
of borrowed  funds was due to the current  interest  rate  environment.  In this
current lower  interest rate  environment,  the Company  continues to extend the
maturities on certain borrowings in an effort to protect itself in a rising rate
environment.  The increase in the average  balance of borrowings  was due to the
use of borrowed funds to fund originations of higher yielding loans during 2001.
The increase in interest  expense for NOW and money market accounts was due to a
$278.4 million  increase in the average balance of NOW and money market accounts
partially  offset by a 31 basis point  decrease in the average cost to 2.62% for
the first quarter of 2002. The increase in the average  balance of NOW and money
market accounts was due to the current promotion of money market accounts in the
Bank's New Jersey markets in our continued efforts to increase the number of our
banking relationships.

Net Interest Income

     Net interest  income for the three  months  ending March 31, 2002 was $47.9
million  compared to $35.8  million for the three months  ending March 31, 2001.
The  increase of $12.1  million was due to a $3.5  million  increase in interest


                                       18



income and an $8.5  million  decrease  in  interest  expense.  The  increase  in
interest  income was due to a $665.4 million  increase in the average balance of
interest  earning  assets  partially  offset by a 61 basis point decrease in the
average yield on interest earning assets to 6.73% for the first quarter of 2002.
The decrease in interest  expense was due to a 141 basis  points  decline in the
average cost of interest  bearing  liabilities  to 3.76%  partially  offset by a
$688.7 million increase in the average balance of interest bearing  liabilities.
The  Company's  net  interest  rate  spread  and  margin  were  2.96% and 3.42%,
respectively,  for the  first  quarter  of 2002  compared  to 2.17%  and  2.90%,
respectively,  for the first quarter of 2001 and 2.81% and 3.31%,  respectively,
for the fourth  quarter of 2001.  The  improvement in the Company's net interest
rate spread and margin was  primarily  due to lower  funding costs and growth of
the Company's  earning asset base.  During 2002, the Company intends to continue
to retain certain higher yielding loan  originations by the Mortgage Company for
the  Company's  portfolio as a primary part of its efforts to maintain the yield
on interest earning assets.  In the current rate  environment,  the Company will
continue to closely monitor its repricing of interest  bearing  liabilities and,
when the  opportunity  exists,  extend the maturities of certificates of deposit
and borrowings.

Provision for Loan Losses

     The  provision  for loan  losses  for the  first  quarter  of 2002 was $1.5
million  compared to $600,000 for the first  quarter of 2001. As a result of the
current economic conditions, increased loan originations and the changing mix of
the loan  portfolio,  management  deemed it prudent  to add $1.5  million to the
allowance for loan losses in the first quarter of 2002. Net  charge-offs for the
quarter ended March 31, 2002 were $373,000.

     Total non-accruing loans and real estate owned increased by an aggregate of
$12.6 million during the first quarter of 2002  resulting in total  non-accruing
loans and real  estate  owned of $29.0  million at March 31,  2002,  compared to
$16.3 million at December 31, 2001.  The primary reason for the increase was the
placement of three loan  relationships  on  non-accrual  status during the first
quarter  of  2002.  These  relationships  consist  of two land  development  and
construction projects for single-family homes in the State of California, with a
total principal balance of $8.9 million, a single-family residential loan in the
State  of  California  originated  for sale  with a  principal  balance  of $1.8
million, and a land development and construction project for single family homes
in the State of Florida with a principal balance of $2.6 million.  Management is
aggressively  pursuing  the recovery of these loans and  foreclosure  sales have
been scheduled during the second quarter of this year for the properties located
in California.  While no assurances can be given, based on management's  overall
evaluation of these three credit  relationships  including current appraisals of
the collateral by independent third parties,  management believes it is unlikely
that the Company  will incur any  material  loss  related to these  credits.  In
addition, the Company's  non-performing real estate assets included $1.7 million
of other  real  estate  owned at March 31,  2002  compared  to $1.2  million  at
December 31, 2001.

     The allowance  for loan losses was $21.2  million or 77.7% of  non-accruing
loans at March 31,  2002  compared  to $20.0  million or 132.8% of  non-accruing
loans at December 31, 2001 and $14.7 million or 134.8% of non-accruing  loans at
March 31,  2001.  While no  assurance  can be given that future  charge-offs  or
additional  provisions over the current level will not be necessary,  management
believes that based on its current  review and the level of  non-accruing  loans
and delinquencies, the current allowance for loan losses is adequate.

Total Other Income

     Other  income,  exclusive  of net  securities  gains and  losses  was $46.7
million for the first  quarter of 2002  compared  to $16.5  million for the same
time period last year.  The increase of $30.2 million was due to a $25.3 million
increase  in net gains on loan sales and a $4.7  million  increase in loan fees.
These increases were due to the increased volumes at the Mortgage Company.

     Net  securities  losses for the quarter ending March 31, 2002 were $333,000
compared to $6,000 for the quarter ending March 31, 2001.  Included in this loss
was a $500,000 impairment charge to current earnings on a $5.0 million bond that
was placed in a non-accrual status during the first quarter of 2002.


     The Company's  investment  portfolio  includes two asset-backed  securities
with an aggregate par value of $10.0  million that had a $1.3 million  estimated
aggregate  market value at March 31, 2002.  As previously  mentioned  during the
quarter, the Company took a $500,000 impairment charge on one of these bonds and
placed the balance of $4.5  million on  non-accrual  status for  non-payment  of
current  interest due. In addition $4.4 million of the $5.7 million  accumulated
other  comprehensive  loss adjustment to stockholders'  equity at March 31, 2002
was the result of adjustments  to reflect the change in the aggregate  estimated
market value of these two bonds. It is anticipated  that the second bond will be
placed on  non-accrual  status during the second  quarter of 2002 and management
will continue to monitor the status of these two issues, including the


                                       20



collateral value  supporting them. In the event the Company  determines that any
additional  permanent  impairment  has  occurred,  the Company  would  recognize
additional charges to current earnings.

Total Other Expenses

     Total  other  expenses  for the first  quarter of 2002 were  $57.6  million
compared to $29.6 million for the first  quarter of 2001.  The increase of $28.0
million was primarily due to a $6.6 million  increase in personnel  expenses,  a
$15.7  million  increase  in  commission  expense,  a $2.1  million  increase in
professional fees and a $3.9 million increase in other expenses. The increase in
personnel  expense was due to a $4.8 million  increase at the  Mortgage  Company
resulting from expansion and growth, a $639,000  increase in the non-cash charge
for the ESOP  expense  reflecting  the  Company's  higher stock price and branch
expansion,  incentives  and normal merit pay increases at the Bank. The increase
in commissions and other expenses  primarily  reflect the growth of the Mortgage
Company.  The increase in  professional  fees is primarily  due to the hiring of
contract  workers  at the  Mortgage  Company  as a  response  to  the  increased
origination volumes.

     In accordance with Statement of Financial  Accounting Standard No. 142, the
Company is no longer required to amortize  goodwill  resulting from acquisitions
effective  January 1, 2002. The  amortization  expense of $145,000 for the first
quarter  of  2002  was  due  to  the  amortization  of  core  deposit  premiums.
Amortization  expense for the first quarter of 2001 was $1.4 million  consisting
primarily of the amortization of goodwill.

Provision for Income Taxes

     The  provision  for  income  taxes for the first  quarter of 2002 was $13.2
million compared to $8.2 million for the first quarter of 2001. This resulted in
an effective tax rate of 37.5% for the first quarter of 2002 compared to 37% for
the first quarter of 2001. The increase in the effective tax rate was due to the
Company's  increased  net  income,   primarily  to  increased  profitability  of
operations of the Mortgage Company in various states.

Segment Reporting

     The Company  manages its  operations  in a manner to focus on two strategic
goals:  fulfilling its role as a banking  institution  for both  individuals and
businesses and as a national provider of single-family residential mortgage loan
products.  Accordingly,  the Company aligns its various  business  objectives in
support of these goals and manages the Company  through two segments:  Community
Banking and Mortgage Banking.

Community Banking

     The  Company's  Community  Banking  segment  provides  traditional  banking
services to  commercial  and retail  customers.  The  services  include  deposit
accounts and related  services,  residential and commercial real estate lending,
consumer lending,  commercial lending,  loan servicing,  trust services and life
insurance  products.  Products and services offered by this business segment are
delivered  through  a  multi-channel  distribution  network,  including  on-line
banking.  The Community  Banking segment is the primary warehouse lender for the
Mortgage Banking segment.


                                       21



Mortgage Banking

     The Company's  Mortgage  Banking  segment  activities,  which are conducted
through  SIB  Mortgage  Corp.,   d/b/a  "Ivy  Mortgage"  include  primarily  the
origination  of  residential  real  estate  loans  either  for the sale into the
secondary market or, to a lesser extent,  for retention in the Bank's portfolio.
The loans are originated  through a network of branches in 42 states.  Loans not
retained for the Company's  portfolio are sold to investors,  including  certain
government sponsored agencies. Loans originated during the first quarter of 2002
were $1.3  billion,  consisting  primarily  of  fixed-rate  and  adjustable-rate
residential  loans,  and loans sold were $1.5 billion,  of which $189.5  million
were sold to the Bank.

     The segment  operating  revenue and  operating  earnings in the table below
incorporate  certain  intersegment   transactions  that  the  Company  views  as
appropriate  for purposes of reflecting the  contribution  of certain  segments,
which are  eliminated in  preparation  of the Company's  consolidated  financial
statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principals.

(1) The  intersegment  eliminations  consist of interest income on the Community
Banking Segment results and interest expense on the Mortgage Banking results due
to the Community  Banking Segment  providing the warehouse line of credit to the
Mortgage  Banking  Segment.  The  intersegment  elimination  also  includes $4.9
million in  premiums  paid by the  Community  Banking  Segment  to the  Mortgage
Banking Segment for the purchase of loans during the quarter.

Liquidity and Commitments

     The Company's  liquidity,  represented by cash and cash  equivalents,  is a
product of its  operating,  investing  and financing  activities.  The Company's
primary sources of funds are deposits, amortization,  prepayments and maturities
of outstanding loans and  mortgage-backed  securities,  maturities of investment
securities and other short-term  investments and funds provided from operations.
While  scheduled  payments from the  amortization  of loans and  mortgage-backed
securities and maturing  investment  securities and short-term  investments  are
relatively  predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are
greatly   influenced  by  general  interest  rates,   economic   conditions  and
competition. In addition, the Company invests excess funds in federal funds sold
and other  short-term  interest-earning  assets which provide  liquidity to meet
lending requirements.


                                       22




     Liquidity  management  is both a daily and  long-term  function of business
management.  Excess  liquidity is generally  invested in short-term  investments
such as federal funds.  The Company uses its sources of funds  primarily to meet
its ongoing  commitments,  to pay maturing  certificates  of deposit and savings
withdrawals,  fund loan commitments and maintain a portfolio of  mortgage-backed
and mortgage-related  securities and investment  securities.  At March 31, 2002,
the total approved loan origination  commitments  outstanding amounted to $776.1
million and the Mortgage Company had commitments of $562.3 million to sell loans
to  third  party  investors.  At  the  same  date,  the  unadvanced  portion  of
construction  loans totaled $45.3 million.  Certificates of deposit scheduled to
mature in one year or less at March 31, 2002 totaled $818.3 million.  Investment
securities  scheduled  to mature in one year or less at March 31,  2002  totaled
$1.0 million and  amortization  from  investments and loans is projected at $1.2
billion over the next 12 months.  Based on  historical  experience,  the current
pricing  strategy and the Bank's strong core deposit base,  management  believes
that a significant  portion of maturing  deposits will remain with the Bank. The
Bank anticipates that it will continue to have sufficient  funds,  together with
loan sales and security sales, to meet its current commitments. In the event the
funds required  exceed the funds  generated by the Bank,  additional  sources of
funds such as reverse repurchase agreements,  FHLB advances,  overnight lines of
credit and brokered CD's are available to the Bank.

Capital

     At March 31, 2002, the Bank had regulatory capital which was well in excess
of all regulatory  requirements set by the OTS. The current requirements and the
Bank's actual levels are detailed below (dollars in thousands):




                            Required Capital           Actual Capital            Excess Capital

Tangible capital        $   91,034      1.50%      $  413,800      6.82%    $  322,766      5.32%
Core capital            $  242,850      4.00%      $  416,074      6.85%    $  173,224      2.85%
Risk-based capital      $  261,187      8.00%      $  434,346     13.30%    $  173,159      5.30%



Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

     The  Company's  primary  market risk  continues to be market  interest rate
volatility  due to the  potential  impact on net interest  income and the market
value of all interest-earning assets and interest-bearing  liabilities resulting
from changes in interest rates. The Company monitors its interest rate risk on a
quarterly basis, and due to the current interest rate environment, the Company's
net  interest  rate  spreads and margins  have  improved.  The  operation of the
Company does not subject it to foreign  exchange or commodity price risk and the
Company does not own any trading  assets.  The real estate loan portfolio of the
Company is concentrated  primarily within the New York  metropolitan area making
it subject to the risks  associated  with the local economy.  Since December 31,
2001   non-accrual   loans  have   increased   primarily  due  to  three  credit
relationships  being placed in  non-accrual  status  during the first quarter of
2002. Management anticipates that this will not have a material effect on future
earnings.  For a  complete  discussion  of the  Company's  asset  and  liability
management  market  risk  and  interest  rate  sensitivity,   see  "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in the
Company's 2001 Annual Report to Stockholders.
