The Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the Year Ended December 31, 1996 and the Nine Months ended September 30, 1997 were prepared as if the Merger had been consummated on January 1, 1996. The unaudited pro forma combined condensed consolidated financial statements are based on the historical financial statements of the Company and the Greater after giving effect to the Merger under the purchase method of accounting and the assumptions and adjustments in the notes that follow. Assumptions relating to the pro forma adjustments set forth in the unaudited pro forma combined condensed consolidated financial statements are summarized as follows: (i) Estimated fair values - Estimated fair values for securities held-to-maturity and loans were valued as of September 30, 1997. Their resulting net purchase premiums are being amortized into interest income to produce a constant yield-to-maturity. Estimated fair values for deposits and borrowings were valued based upon interest rates for comparable products as of September 30, 1997. Their resulting discount and premium are being accreted and amortized, respectively, into interest expense on a straight-line basis over their remaining maturities. (ii) The amortization of the excess of cost over fair value of net assets acquired is being amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of fifteen years. (iii) Income taxes - a net deferred tax asset was recorded equal to the deferred tax consequences associated with the differences between the tax basis and book basis of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, using a statutory rate of 43.07%. (B) The Merger Agreement required the Greater at the written request of the Company to modify and change certain of its policies and practices, including loan policies and practices, before the consummation of the Merger so as to be consistent on a mutually satisfactory basis with those of the Association subject to compliance with generally accepted accounting principles and all applicable laws and regulations. During the third quarter of 1997, the Greater complied with the Company's request to record an additional provision for loan losses of $21,000,000. The provision is reflected in the Greater's historical Consolidated Statement of Operations for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 1997. (C) Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, holders of the Greater common stock received, subject to certain election, allocation and proration procedures, either 0.50 shares of the Company common stock or $19.00 in cash for each share of the Greater common stock, subject to 75% of the Greater common stock being converted into the right to receive the Company common stock and 25% being converted into the right to receive cash. The total cost of the transaction is summarized as follows: 17 6 25% CASH 75% STOCK TOTAL -------- --------- -------- (In thousands) Greater's total common shares outstanding (i) $ 73,288 $ 214,658(vii) $287,946 Cash-out and exchanged stock options (ii) 41 8,571 8,612 Adjustment for shares owned by the Company (iii) 4,560 (1,936) 2,624 Issuance of Preferred Stock Series B (iv) -- 62,000 62,000 Total transaction costs 38,295(v) -- 38,295 -------- --------- -------- Totals $116,184(vi) $ 283,293 $399,477 ======== ========= ======== <FN> (i) Based on 15,429,124 shares of the Greater common stock outstanding as of September 30, 1997 (excluding 240,000 shares owned by the Company - see item (iii)), of which 25% represents 3,857,281 shares and 75% represents 11,571,843 shares. (ii) Represents 36,000 options cashed-out by the Greater's directors and 241,840 options which certain Greater executive officers elected to exchange for options to purchase the Company common stock. (iii) Calculated as if the Company elected 100% cash consideration for 240,000 shares previously owned. The previously recorded unrealized gain on such shares reduced the excess of cost over fair value of net assets acquired. (iv) The Company issued 2,000,000 shares of Series B preferred stock at $1.00 par value, with a liquidation preference of $25 per share. (v) Total transaction costs of $38,295,000 consist of the following: Merger-related compensation and severance $22,050,000 Professional services 9,200,000 Systems and facilities conversion and other expenses 7,045,000 (vi) The funds for the 25% cash portion was or will be obtained from the Company's normal cash flows. (vii) The Company reissued common stock through its treasury account with an average cost per share of $22.91. For accounting purposes, the fair market value of the Company common stock was $37.10 per share, for determination of total stock consideration. 18 7 (D) Purchase accounting adjustments were estimated as follows: (In thousands) Greater's historical net assets at September 30, 1997 $208,021 Total Net Adjustment -------------- Securities held-to-maturity 3,726 Loans and real estate held-for-sale (46,252) Loans receivable 13,131 Allowance for loan losses 14,830 Premises and equipment (2,319) Other assets 13,483 Deposits (3,240) Borrowed funds 13,949 Accrued expenses (5,757) Deferred taxes 24,895 Total effect on Net Assets 26,446 --------- Total Net Assets Recorded for Acquisition $234,467 --------- (E) The excess of cost over the fair value of net assets acquired (and related tax effects) is set forth below: (In thousands) Total cost: Cash portion $116,184(1) Stock portion 283,293 -------- 399,477 -------- Fair value of net assets acquired 234,467 -------- Total excess of cost over fair value of net asset acquired $165,010 -------- <FN> (1) Cash portion consists of $74,428 of funds paid to the Greater's shareholders upon closing of the Merger and $41,756 of merger-related costs which have been either paid and deferred by the Greater and the Company or have been accrued-for by the Company. (F) Reclassifications of various items were recorded as follows: Reclassified Amount From To (In thousands) Securities held-to-maturity Securities available-for-sale $1,068,502 Loans receivable Loans and real estate held-for-sale $ 238,348 Real estate owned and investments in real estate, net Loans and real estate held-for-sale $ 31,010 Deferred tax asset Current taxes payable $ 19,497 19 8 (G) Represents purchase accounting adjustments to eliminate the Greater's stockholders' equity accounts.

(J) Primary and fully diluted weighted average number of common stock and common stock equivalents utilized for the calculation of earnings per share for the periods presented were calculated using the Company's historical weighted average common stock and common stock equivalents plus 5,785,375 shares issued to Greater shareholders under the terms of the Merger Agreement. (K) Net income per common share was adjusted for dividends on preferred shares of $6,000,000 annually and $4,500,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997.
