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 June 30, 2002 the number of shares issued was 90,260,624
and the number of shares  outstanding  was  60,908,166.  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
June 30, 2002, had assets totaling $1.3 billion of which $1.1 billion were loans
held for sale.

         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 $674.4 million at June 30, 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 June 30, 2002 were $935.6 million.

         SIBFSC  was  incorporated  in the  State of New York in  January  2000.
SIBFSC was formed as a licensed  life  insurance  agency to sell the products of
the SBLI USA  Mutual  Life  Insurance  Co. In the second  quarter of 2002,  this
subsidiary began 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 $661,000 as of June 30, 2002.

Earnings Per Share

         Earnings  per share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted
average number of shares of common stock and dilutive  common stock  equivalents
outstanding,  adjusted for the 5.2 million  unallocated  shares held by the ESOP
and RRP plans in accordance  with the Statement of Position  93-6. The following
table is a  reconciliation  of the earnings per share  calculation for the three
months and six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001.

Derivative Financial Instruments:

         Interest rate  derivatives,  such as interest rate swaps and eurodollar
futures,  are not  currently  employed by the Company for  managing its interest
rate risk. The Company,  however, does currently utilize derivative instruments,
such as forward delivery  commitments,  to manage exposure to interest rate risk
associated  with mortgage  loan  commitments  and mortgage  loans held for sale.
Prior to the closing of a loan, the Company  generally  extends an interest rate
lock  commitment  to the  borrower.  As a result,  the  Company  is  exposed  to
subsequent  changes in the level of market interest  rates,  and the spread over
Treasuries  required by  investors.  An increase in market  interest  rates or a
widening of spreads will reduce the prices paid by investors  and the  resultant
gain on sale.  To  mitigate  this  risk,  at the time the  Company  extends  the
interest rate lock commitment to the borrower, the Company enters into mandatory
or best effort commitments to deliver mortgage whole loans to various investors,
or  to  issue  Fannie  Mae  and/or  Freddie  Mac  securities  (forward  delivery
commitments.) These commitments effectively establish the price the Company will
receive for the related mortgage loan thereby  minimizing the risk of subsequent
changes in interest rates.  At June 30, 2002, the Company had mandatory  forward
delivery commitments outstanding amounting to $1.2 billion. Such commitments are
comprised of the following: $102.0 million in allocated single whole loan sales,
$80.0 million of allocated Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac securities,  $701.0 million of
allocated  bulk whole loan  sales,  and $295.0  million of  unallocated  forward
security sales. The unallocated  forward security sales had market  depreciation
of $1.3  million  at June 30,  2002  resulting  in a mark to market  loss in the
second quarter of 2002.

         Since its release in 1998,  the  guidance in SFAS 133  "Accounting  for
Derivative  Instruments  and  Hedging  Activities"  has raised  questions  about
whether loan commitments should be accounted for as derivatives. It had been the
position of the Company that they should not. On March 13, 2002,  the  Financial
Accounting Standards Board (FASB) cleared Statement 133 Implementation Issue C13
("Statement  133"),  which  offers  clear  guidance  on the  question,  "In what
circumstances  must a loan  commitment be included in the scope of Statement No.
133 and accounted for as a derivative  instrument?" After clearance of Statement
133 by FASB, the Company identified certain commitments that should be accounted
for as derivative instruments in accordance with Statement 133.

         The effective date of the  implementation  guidance in Issue C13 is the
first day of the fiscal quarter  beginning  after April 10, 2002, and accounting
for the effects of initially complying with the implementation guidance in Issue
C13 is to be  reported as a change of  accounting  principle.  Accordingly,  the
effective  date for the  Company  is July 1,  2002.  The  effect of the  initial
implementation  of Statement 133 is that the Company shall record a pre-tax gain
of $6.5 million resulting from the mark to market of certain loan commitments as
of July 1, 2002.

Accounting For Goodwill
- -----------------------

         In accordance  with SFAS No. 142, the Company is no longer  required to
amortize  goodwill  resulting from  acquisitions  effective January 1, 2002. The
Company adopted  Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 142 "Goodwill
and Other  Intangible  Assets",  ("SFAS 142") effective  January 1, 2002 and had
goodwill of $55.3  million,  which  included  core deposit  intangibles  of $2.4
million as of January 1, 2002.  An annual  impairment  test of the  goodwill  is
required to determine if there is the need to writedown the  goodwill.  Prior to
adoption  of SFAS  142  the  quarterly  goodwill  amortization  expense  totaled
approximately $1.5 million.

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


                                       9



         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  through the Bank.  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 and purchases loans from the
Mortgage Banking segment to be held in its portfolio.

         During  the first six months of 2002,  the  Community  Banking  segment
opened four  branches in the State of New Jersey  continuing  its goal to expand
its  branch  network.  In the  second  quarter  of 2002 the Bank  began to offer
certain non-deposit investment products to generate fee income.


Mortgage Banking

         The Company's Mortgage Banking segment activities,  which are conducted
through the Mortgage  Company  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 Bank's portfolio
are  sold  to  investors,   including  certain  government  sponsored  agencies.
Applications  for loans are accepted  through  various  channels by the Mortgage
Banking segment as indicated on the Table 1 below.  The Mortgage  Company's goal
is to increase Alt-A loan production since this product produces higher margins.
Loan sales  activity  by product is  provided  on Table 2 for both the three and
six-month periods. This table includes loans 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 principles.

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

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 $6.4  billion at June 30, 2002
compared to total assets of $6.0  billion at December  31,  2001.  The growth in
assets of $451.9  million or 7.5% was  primarily  due to an  increase  of $492.6
million in loans,  net and an increase of $45.0 million in securities  available
for sale.  These increases were partially  offset by a $107.5 million decline in
loans held for sale. The increase in loans, net was due to loan  originations of
$610.9  million by the Bank in the first six months of 2002 and the retention of
$383.1  million  in loans  originated  by the  Mortgage  Company  for the Bank's
portfolio.  The originations by the Bank are primarily residential loans and, to
a lesser  extent,  loans  secured  by  commercial  real  estate.  This  level of
originations  continues to reflect the Bank's  business  development  efforts to
originate both  residential and commercial  loans in its primary market area and
the continued growth of its broker business.  The Mortgage Company  originations
retained for the Bank's portfolio are primarily higher yielding  adjustable rate
loans.  The increase in securities  available  for sale was due to  management's
plan to invest  excess cash flows in the  securities  portfolio.  Loans held for
sale  decreased  due to loan  sales  of $2.9  billion  by the  Mortgage  Company
compared to originations  of $2.8 billion by the Mortgage  Company for the first
six months of 2002.  The level of loans sold  reflects  the  Mortgage  Company's
increased  efficiencies  in the area of  shipping  loans.  In the  current  rate
environment,  the mortgage banking refinance index and purchase index are at all
time highs and it is anticipated that  originations by the Mortgage Company will
reach $1.8 billion in the third quarter of 2002.

         Deposits  increased $372.7 million or 12.8% during the first six months
of 2002 and totaled $3.3 billion at June 30, 2002.  This  increase was primarily
due to a $170.2 million  increase in money market  accounts and a $133.0 million
increase  in  savings  accounts.  This  increase  in money  market  accounts  is
primarily due to the "Bank 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  Brooklyn and New Jersey  markets.  The
growth in savings  accounts was due to the current interest rate environment and
the current  uncertainty  of the stock market making this product  attractive to
depositors.  Core deposits,  which consist of savings, money market, NOW and DDA
accounts,  represented  66.1% of total  deposits at June 30,  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.

         During the first six months of 2002 the Bank  opened  four  branches in
the State of New Jersey increasing its branch network to 34 locations.  The four
new branches  had total  deposits of


                                       20



$34.9  million at June 30,  2002.  The Bank plans to continue  this  strategy of
opening  de-novo  branches to increase  deposits and expand its market area when
acceptable locations can be found.

         The Company's borrowings at June 30, 2002 were $2.6 billion compared to
$2.5 billion at December 31, 2001.  Borrowings as a percentage of assets at June
30, 2002 were 39.6%  compared to 40.9% at December 31, 2001.  Borrowings at June
30,  2002  consisted  of  Federal  Home  Loan  Bank  advances  of $1.9  billion,
repurchase  agreements of $567.5  million  between the Mortgage  Company and two
individual  financial  institutions  of $129.1 million.  The Mortgage  Company's
obligations under these repurchase  agreements are fully guaranteed by the Bank.
The growth in borrowings is primarily  due to the level of  originations  at the
Mortgage Company.

         Stockholders'  equity  amounted to $557.3  million at June 30, 2002 and
$552.2  million at December  31,  2001 or 8.6% and 9.2% of total  assets at such
dates, respectively. The increase of $5.1 million was due to net income of $39.6
million,  an allocation of Employee  Stock  Ownership  Plan ("ESOP")  shares and
Recognition  and Retention Plan ("RRP") shares  resulting in an increase of $4.6
million, the exercise of 752,548 stock options resulting in an increase of $11.2
million  and  an  $8.2  million  increase  in  the  unrealized  appreciation  on
securities  available for sale,  net of taxes.  These  increases  were partially
offset by the purchase of 2.3 million shares of the Company's  common stock at a
cost of $45.4 million and aggregate cash dividend payments of $13.0 million. The
tangible  book value per share of the  Company's  common stock was $8.20 at June
30, 2002 compared to $7.89 at December 31, 2001.

Results of Operations

         The  Company  reported  net income of $17.6  million or $0.31 per fully
diluted share for the three months ended June 30, 2002 compared to net income of
$15.2 million or $0.25 per fully diluted  share for the  comparable  time period
last year.  Core  earnings for the second  quarter of 2002 were $21.8 million or
$0.38 per fully  diluted  share  compared  to $15.2  million  or $0.25 per fully
diluted  share for the  second  quarter of 2001.  Core  earnings  represent  the
Company's  earnings  excluding  securities gains or losses,  net of taxes.  Cash
earnings  for the quarter  ended June 30,  2002 were $19.6  million or $0.35 per
fully diluted  share  compared to $18.1 million or $0.30 per fully diluted share
for the second quarter of 2001. 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.

         For the six-month  period ended June 30, 2002, the Company reported net
income of $39.6  million  or $0.69 per fully  diluted  share  compared  to $29.2
million or $0.47 per fully diluted share for the  comparable  time period in the
prior year.  Core  earnings  for the six month  period  ended June 30, 2002 were
$44.0  million or $0.76 per fully  diluted  share  compared to $29.2  million or
$0.47 per fully  diluted  share for the first half of 2001.  Cash  earnings were
$43.6 million or $0.76 per fully  diluted  share for the six-month  period ended
June 30, 2002 compared to $35.0 million or $0.57 per fully diluted share for the
same time period one year ago.

         The return on average  equity and average  assets for the three  months
ended June 30, 2002 were 12.63% and 1.11%, respectively,  compared to 10.73% and
1.09%, respectively, for the comparable time period in the prior year.

         The  return on  average  equity and  average  assets for the  six-month
period  ended June 30,  2002 was 14.33% and  1.28%,  respectively,  compared  to
10.24% and 1.08%, respectively, for the six-month period ended June 30, 2001.

         The increase in net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 compared
to the same  quarter  one year ago was due to an  increase  of $16.9  million in
other  income  and a  $14.3  million



                                       21


increase  in net  interest  income.  These
increases  were  partially  offset by a $23.1  million  increase  in total other
expenses,  a $4.4 million  increase in the  provision for loan losses and a $1.2
million increase in the provision for income taxes.

         The increase in net income for the six-month period ended June 30, 2002
compared to the  six-month  period ended June 30, 2001 was due to an increase of
$46.7  million in other  income and a $26.3  million  increase  in net  interest
income.  These  increases were partially  offset by a $51.2 million  increase in
total other expenses,  a $6.2 million increase in the provision for income taxes
and a $5.3 million increase in the provision for loan losses.

income from securities. The increase in interest income from loans was due to an
$825.8 million  increase in the average balance of the loan portfolio  partially
offset by a decline in the average  yield on the loan  portfolio  from 7.64% for
the second quarter of 2001 to 7.22% for the second quarter of 2002. The increase
in the  average  balance  of the  loan  portfolio  was  due  to  increased  loan
originations by the Bank, the retention of higher  yielding loans  originated by
the Mortgage Company for the Bank's portfolio and the increase in loans held for
sale by the  Mortgage  Company.  The  decrease in the average  yield on the loan
portfolio was due to the generally lower interest rate environment over the past
twelve months resulting in increased prepayments and satisfactions, the downward
repricing  of  adjustable  rate  loans  and the  origination  of  loans at lower
interest  rates.  The decrease in interest  income from  securities was due to a
$112.1 million decline in the average balance of the securities  portfolio and a
55 basis point decline in the average yield on the securities portfolio to 5.85%
for the second quarter of 2002 compared to 6.40% for the second quarter of 2001.
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 at both the Bank and the Mortgage Company.  The decline in the
average  yield on the  securities  portfolio was primarily due to the lower rate
environment  and the  accelerated  paydown  of higher  yielding  mortgage-backed
securities in this interest rate environment.

         Total interest income for the six-month  period ended June 30, 2002 was
$194.2 million  compared to $183.4 million for the first six months of 2001. The
increase of $10.8 million was due to a $21.8 million increase in interest income
from loans partially offset by an $11.1 million decrease in interest income from
securities.  The  increase  in  interest  income from loans was due to an $843.8
million  increase in the average balance of loans partially offset by a 51 basis
point  decline in the average  yield on loans to 7.19% for the six months  ended
June 30, 2002. The increase in the average balance of loans was primarily due to
the growth of originations at the Mortgage  Company  resulting in an increase in
loans held for sale and an  increase  in the amount of loans  originated  by the
Mortgage  Company  and  retained  for the Bank's  portfolio.  The decline in the
average  yield on loans is due to  substantially  the same reasons as previously
stated for the quarter.

Interest Expense

         The Company's  total interest  expense was $47.1 million for the second
quarter of 2002  compared to $54.1 million for the second  quarter of 2001.  The
decrease of $7.0 million was due to a $4.4 million  decrease in interest expense
on  certificates of deposit and a $4.6 million  decrease in interest  expense on
borrowed funds. These decreases were partially offset by a $1.6 million increase
in interest  expense on money market and NOW accounts.  The decrease in interest
expense on  certificates of deposit was due to a 201 basis point decrease in the
average cost of  certificates of deposit to 3.57% for the second quarter of 2002
primarily  due to the lower  interest  rates over the past  twelve  months.  The
decline in  interest  expense  on  borrowed  funds was due to a 103 basis  point
decline in the average  cost of  borrowings  to 4.51% for the second  quarter of
2002.  The decline in the average cost of  borrowings  was due to the lower rate
environment  resulting  in  new  borrowings  at  lower  rates  compared  to  the
borrowings coming due. The decline in interest expense on borrowings, due to the
decline in the average cost, was partially  offset by a $134.5 million  increase
in the average  balance of  borrowings.  The increase in the average  balance of
borrowings was due to the Bank's funding requirements, particularly with respect
to higher yielding loan originations. The increase in interest expense for money
market and NOW  accounts  was due to a $330.1  million  increase  in the average
balance of money market and NOW accounts in the second  quarter of 2002 compared
to the first quarter of 2001.  This increase was partially  offset by a 71 basis
point decline in the average cost to 2.57% for the



                                       25


second quarter of 2002. The increase in the average  balance of money market and
NOW accounts was due to the  promotion of a premium  money market  account which
required the opening of a DDA account to develop banking relationships and, to a
lesser extent, the opening of four new branches in the first half of 2002.

         For the first six months of 2002 the  Company's  interest  expense  was
$93.4 million  compared to $109.0  million for the same time period in the prior
year.  The  decrease  of $15.5  million was due to an $8.0  million  decrease in
interest  expense on  certificates  of deposit and an $11.3 million  decrease in
interest  expense on borrowed funds.  These decreases were partially offset by a
$3.2 million increase in interest expense on money market and NOW accounts.  The
decrease in interest  expense on  certificates of deposit was due to the average
cost for the first six  months of 2002  declining  to 3.73%  from  5.67% for the
first six months of 2001.  The decline in the average  cost was due to the lower
interest rate environment  over the past twelve months.  The decline in interest
expense on borrowed  funds was due to a 128 basis  point  decline in the average
cost from  5.83%  for the  first  six  months of 2001 to 4.56% for the first six
months of 2002. In this period of lower interest rates, the Company has extended
the maturities of certain borrowings to limit its interest rate risk exposure in
a rising rate environment.

         The  increase in interest  expense on money market and NOW accounts was
due to a $304.4 million  increase in the average balance of money market and NOW
accounts  partially  offset by a 53 basis point  decline in the average  cost to
2.59% for the first six months of 2002. The increase in the average  balance and
decline  in the  average  cost  are due to  substantially  the same  reasons  as
previously stated for the quarter.

Net Interest Income

         Net interest  income for the second  quarter of 2002 was $52.9 million,
an  increase  of $14.3  million or 37.0% over the  second  quarter of 2001.  The
increase  was due to a $7.3  million  increase  in  interest  income  and a $7.0
million decrease in interest expense. The increase in interest income was due to
a $733.4  million  increase in the average  balance of  interest-earning  assets
partially offset by a 40 basis point decrease in the average yield from 7.19% to
6.79% for the second quarter of 2002.  The decrease in interest  expense was due
to a 121 basis point decrease in the average cost to 3.60%  partially  offset by
an  increase  of $733.0  million in the  average  balance of  interest  -bearing
liabilities.

         The Company's net interest rate spread and net interest rate margin for
the  three-month  period ended June 30, 2002 was 3.19% and 3.59%,  respectively,
compared to 2.38% and 2.99%, respectively, for the three-month period ended June
30, 2001.

         For the  six-month  period ended June 30, 2002 net interest  income was
$100.8 million compared to $74.4 million for the six-month period ended June 30,
2001. The increase of $26.3 million or 35.4% was due to a $10.8 million increase
in  interest  income and a $15.5  million  decrease  in  interest  expense.  The
increase in interest income was due to a $699.6 million  increase in the average
balance of interest-earning  assets partially offset by a 50 basis point decline
in the  average  yield on  interest-earning  assets to 6.76%.  The  decrease  in
interest  expense was due to a decrease in the average cost of  interest-bearing
liabilities for the first half of 2002 to 3.68% from 4.98% for the first half of
2001,  partially  offset by a $711.0 million  increase in the average balance of
interest-bearing liabilities.

         The  improvement  in the  Company's net interest rate spread and margin
continues to be driven by the favorable  interest rate environment which results
in lower funding costs. The growth of the Company's  earning assets has also led
to  improvements  in the  interest  rate  spread and margin.  The  Company  will
continue to retain higher yielding loans  originated by the Mortgage  Company to
maintain  asset yields and 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 second  quarter of 2002 was $5.0
million compared to $600,000 for the second quarter of 2001. The increase in the
loan loss provision was due to the increase in net chargeoffs,  current economic
conditions  and  increased  origination  volumes  at both the Bank and  Mortgage
Company.  Net  chargeoffs  for the  second  quarter  of 2002 were  $3.2  million
compared  to  $506,000  for the second  quarter  of 2001.  The  increase  in net
chargeoffs was primarily due to $1.4 million in chargeoffs on loans  transferred
to Other Real Estate Owned ("OREO") at net  realizable  value and a $1.6 million
chargeoff  relating to the sale of $5.3 million of loans by the Mortgage Company
that did not meet secondary market standards.

         For the six months  ended June 30, 2002 the  provision  for loan losses
was $6.5  million  compared to $1.2  million  for the six months  ended June 30,
2001.  The increase in the  provision  was  primarily due to the same reasons as
previously  discussed for the quarter and, to a lesser extent,  the $1.6 million
growth in  non-accrual  loans and the $7.3 million growth in OREO since December
31, 2001.

         Total  non-accruing  loans and OREO  increased  by an aggregate of $8.9
million  during the  six-month  period  ended June 30, 2002  resulting  in total
non-accruing  loans and OREO of $25.2 million at June 30, 2002 compared to $16.3
million at December 31, 2001.  The increase is primarily  due to the movement of
two loans with a total book balance of $7.4 million into OREO status  during the
first half of the year and two loans with a book balance of $4.4 million  moving
into non-accrual status during the same time period.

         In July 2002,  the Company  entered into an agreement for the sale of a
previously reported non-accrual loan with a book balance of $2.5 million and the
Company also entered  into an  agreement  for the sale of one of the  previously
mentioned  OREO  properties  with a book  balance of $4.7  million.  The Company
anticipates that both of these  transactions  will settle prior to September 30,
2002 with no material  loss.  Management  continues to  aggressively  pursue the
recovery  of the second  OREO  property  previously  mentioned  which has a book
balance of $2.8 million and the second non-accrual loan which has a book balance
of $1.8 million.

         The   allowance  for  loan  losses  was  $22.9  million  or  137.7%  of
non-accruing  loans at June 30,  2002  compared  to $20.0  million  or 132.8% of
non-accruing  loans at December 31, 2001. The activity in the allowance for loan
losses  consisted of  chargeoffs  of $4.1  million,  recoveries  of $493,000 and
provisions of $6.5 million for the first six months of 2002.  While no assurance
can be given that future  chargeoffs or additional  provisions  over the current
level will not be necessary,  management  believes,  based on its review and the
level of non-accruing  loans and  delinquencies,  that the current allowance for
loan losses is adequate.

Total Other Income

         Other income,  exclusive of net securities gains and losses,  was $49.4
million for the second  quarter of 2002 compared to $25.7 million for the second
quarter of 2001.  The  increase  of $23.7  million was  primarily  due to a $3.8
million  increase in service and fee income and an $18.9 million increase in net
gains on loan  sales.  The  increase  in  service  and fee income was due to the
receipt of a one-time $3.0 million  liquidating  dividend from the investment in
the  Company's  former  data  processing   provider  and  higher  banking  fees,
reflecting  increased  transactions  due to the  expansion of the Bank's  retail
branching  network and deposit  growth.  The increase in net gains on loan sales
was due to  increased  volume and an  increase  in the  average  gross  margins,
partially  offset by a $1.3 million  mark to market  adjustment  on  unallocated
forward  security  sales.  The increase in the volumes of shipped  loans to $1.6
billion  for the  second  quarter  of June 2002 was due to the  record  level of
originations  and increased  efficiencies in packaging and shipping  loans.  The
increase in the average  gross margin from 2.27% for the second  quarter of 2001
to 2.56% for the second quarter of 2002 was primarily due to the increase in the
higher  margin Alt-A  product.  In the second  quarter of 2002 Alt-A  production
represented  34.8% of total sales compared to 17.5% of total sales in the second
quarter of 2001. The mark to market


                                       27


adjustment on $295.0  million of unallocated  forward  security sales was due to
the movement in interest rates.

         Other income,  exclusive of net securities gains and losses,  was $96.1
million for the first six months of 2002 compared to $42.2 million for the first
six months of 2001.  The  increase of $53.9  million  was due to a $4.0  million
increase  in service and fee income,  a $44.2  million  increase in net gains on
loan sales and a $5.6 million increase in loan fees. The increase in service and
fee income was due to substantially the same reasons as previously discussed for
the  quarter.  The  increase  in net gains on loan  sales  was due to  increased
volumes of loan  originations  and the average gross margin  remaining stable at
2.60%  for the first  six  months of 2002 and 2.56% for the first six  months of
2001. The increased  volumes were due to the current  interest rate  environment
and the continued expansion of the Mortgage Company.  The margin remained stable
due  to  the  growth  in  the  wholesale  and  correspondent   business  channel
originations which resulted in lower margins being offset by the growth in Alt-A
production  which resulted in higher margins.  The increase in loan fees was due
to increased volumes at both the Bank and Mortgage Company.

         The Company recorded a net security loss of $6.8 million for the second
quarter of 2002 compared to a net gain of $9,000 for the second quarter of 2001.
For the six months  ended June 30, 2002 net  security  losses were $7.2  million
compared to a net security gain of $3,000 for the first six months of 2001.  The
reason  for the net  security  losses in the first six months of 2002 was a $7.9
million impairment charge on two asset-backed securities. The Company recorded a
$500,000  impairment  charge in the  first  quarter  of 2002 and a $7.4  million
impairment charge in the second quarter of 2002. During the second quarter,  due
to further  significant  deterioration  in the collateral value supporting these
securities  and the resultant  negative  impact on anticipated  cash flows,  the
Company recorded a $7.4 million  impairment  charge in accordance with generally
accepted  accounting  principles  reducing the aggregate carrying value of these
two  securities  to $2.1  million  at June 30,  2002.  The  Company  owns  three
additional  collateralized  bond  obligations with a book value of $14.0 million
and a market value of $6.6 million at June 30, 2002.

Total Other Expenses

         Total other  expenses for the second quarter of 2002 were $61.9 million
compared to $38.7 million for the second  quarter of 2001. The increase of $23.1
million was primarily due to an increase of $5.6 million in personnel  costs, an
$11.3  million  increase  in  commission  expense,  a $2.2  million  increase in
professional fees and a $3.8 million increase in other expenses. The increase in
personnel  expense was due to a $4.2 million  increase at the  Mortgage  Company
resulting from expansion and growth, a $558,000 increase in non-cash expense for
the ESOP  reflecting the Company's  higher stock price compared to last year and
an  $800,000   increase  in  personal  expenses  related  to  branch  expansion,
incentives,  and  normal  merit pay  increases  at the  Bank.  The  increase  in
commission  reflects  the  growth  of the  Mortgage  Company.  The  increase  in
professional  fees is  primarily  due to the hiring of  contract  workers at the
mortgage-banking  subsidiary in response to the increased  origination  volumes.
The increase in other  expenses  primarily  reflects the growth and expansion of
the Mortgage Company over the past year to properly handle the increased volumes
and expansion.

         Total other  expenses  for the first half of 2002 were  $119.5  million
compared to $68.3 million for the comparable time period last year. The increase
of $51.2 million was due to a $12.1 million  increase in personnel  expenses,  a
$27.0 million  increase in commissions,  a $4.3 million increase in professional
fees  and a $7.6  million  increase  in other  expenses.  These  increases  were
partially offset by a $2.5 million decrease in the amortization  expense related
to goodwill due to the change in generally accepted accounting  principles.  The
increase in personnel  expense was primarily due to an $8.9 million increase due
to growth at the  Mortgage  Company,  a $1.2  million  increase in the  non-cash
expense  related  to the  ESOP,  a $1.9  million  increase  at the  Bank  due to
expansion,  incentives, normal merit pay increase and medical insurance costs at
the Bank. The increase in commission  expense was due to the increased  level of
originations  at the  Mortgage  Company  compared to the same time period in the
prior year.  The  increase in  professional  fees was due to the use of contract
workers at the  Mortgage  Company in response to the  increased  volumes for the
first half of the year. The increase in other expenses was due to the growth and
expansion at the Mortgage Company.


Provision for Income Taxes

         The provision for income taxes for the second quarter of 2002 was $11.0
million  compared to $9.7 million for the same period in 2001.  This resulted in
an effective tax rate of 38.4% for the second  quarter of 2002 and 39.1% for the
second  quarter of 2001.  The  provision  for income taxes for the first half of
2002 was $24.1 million compared to $17.9 million for the same time period in the
prior year.  This resulted in an effective tax rate of 37.9% for the 2002 period
and 38.1% for the 2001  period.  The  primary  reason  for the  increase  in the
provision for income taxes for both the three and six months periods ending June
30, 2002  compared to the same time frames in the prior year was the increase in
income before taxes partially offset by a decline in the effective tax rate.

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.

         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 June 30, 2002, the
total  approved  loan  origination  commitments  outstanding  amounted to $587.0
million and the Mortgage Company had commitments of $587.1 million to sell loans
to  third  party  investors.  At  the  same  date,  the  unadvanced  portion  of
construction  loans totaled $38.2 million.  Certificates of deposit scheduled to
mature in one year or less at June 30, 2002 totaled $804.7  million.  Investment
securities scheduled to mature in one year or less at June 30, 2002 totaled $1.0
million and amortization from investments and loans is projected at $1.5 billion
over the next 12 months.  Based on  historical  experience,  the Bank's  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 June 30,  2002,  the Bank had  regulatory  capital  that 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):

Core capital           $253,580       4.00%      $418,367      6.60%     $164,787       2.60%
Risk-based capital     $274,692       8.00%      $436,397     12.71%     $161,705       4.71%


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 OREO  properties have increased  primarily due to two credit  relationships
being  placed in OREO  status  during  the  first  quarter  of




                                       30


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.
