                    PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED CONSOLIDATED
                              FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)


The following statements set forth certain selected condensed financial
information for Astoria Financial Corporation and Subsidiary ("AFC") and Long
Island Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiary ("LIB"), on an unaudited pro forma combined
basis giving effect to the Merger as if the Merger had become effective on
September 30, 1998, in the case of financial condition information presented,
and as if the Merger had become effective at the beginning of the periods
indicated, in the case of operations information presented. The pro forma
information in the statements assumes that the Merger is accounted for using the
pooling of interests method of accounting. Financial information for the nine
months ended September 30, 1998 combines AFC and LIB with LIB's interim
results presented to coincide with the reporting period of AFC. AFC utilizes a
fiscal year which ends on December 31 for reporting purposes, whereas LIB uses
a fiscal year which ends on September 30 for such purposes. Financial
information for the year ended December 31, 1997, combines AFC and LIB at their
respective year-end periods. These statements should be read in conjunction
with, and are qualified in their entirety, by the historical financial
statements, including the notes thereto, of AFC and LIB included elsewhere
herein with regard to LIB and included in AFC's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1998, which is incorporated
by reference herein.

The pro forma condensed combined consolidated financial statements do not give
effect to anticipated cost savings and revenue enhancement opportunities that
could result from the Merger, or any other items of income or expense which may
result from the Merger. Additionally, the pro forma financial statements do not
give effect to any anticipated leveraging of AFC's pro forma assets. The
unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated financial statements are
presented for informational purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of
the combined financial position or results of operations of future periods or
indicative of the results that would have occurred had the Merger been
consummated on September 30, 1998 or at the beginning of the periods indicated
or which may occur in the future.

               NOTES TO PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED CONSOLIDATED
                        FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)


(1)      The pro forma financial information presented has been prepared in
         conformity with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and
         prevailing practices within the financial services industry. Under
         GAAP, the assets and liabilities of LIB will be combined with those of
         AFC at book value. In addition, the statements of operations for LIB
         will be combined with those of AFC as of the earliest period presented.
         AFC utilizes a fiscal year which ends on December 31 for reporting
         purposes, whereas LIB uses a fiscal year which ends on September 30 for
         such purposes. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated
         statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 1997 combines
         AFC and LIB at their respective year-end periods. The unaudited pro 
         forma condensed combined consolidated statement of operations for the
         nine months ended September 30, 1998 includes LIB for the nine months
         then ended to conform with the reporting period of AFC. Summary 
         unaudited operating results for LIB for the three months ended 
         December 31, 1997, have not been included in the unaudited pro forma 
         condensed combined consolidated financial statements and are 
         presented in the following table.

         Interest income ..........       $104,517
         Interest expense .........         65,550
         Net interest income ......         38,967
         Net income ...............         13,182
         Diluted earnings per share       $   0.57


(2)      Pro forma adjustments to common stock and additional paid-in capital,
         at September 30, 1998, reflect the Merger accounted for as a
         pooling of interests, through the exchange of 27,983,435 shares of AFC
         Common Stock at September 30, 1998 (using the Exchange Ratio of 1.15
         and adjusted for fraction shares) for 24,333,904 actual outstanding 
         shares of LIB.

(3)      The pro forma weighted average shares outstanding for the nine months
         ended September 30, 1998 and the year ended December 31, 1997 reflect
         the Exchange Ratio of 1.15 shares of AFC Common Stock for each share of
         LIB Common Stock.

(4)      The pro forma condensed combined consolidated statement of financial
         condition reflects non-recurring merger costs and restructuring charges
         of approximately $92.5 million, net of taxes, which were recognized
         upon consummation of the transaction and will be reflected in AFC's
         results of operations for the quarter ended December 31, 1998. Of such
         amount, $26.2 million represents expenses paid and deferred by both LIB
         and AFC, and thus, are reflected as a reduction of other assets. In
         addition, $49.8 million of the total facility and system costs, 
         relates to write-downs of premises and equipment, which, after
         consummation of the Merger, will be classified as held-for-sale. The
         remaining amount of $16.6 million, net of taxes, represents costs to 
         be paid, and is reflected as accrued expenses and other liabilities. 
         These after-tax charges will reduce earnings per share for the period
         in which such charges are recognized by approximately $1.75 (based on
         pro forma diluted weighted average shares outstanding of 52,818,974 
         on September 30, 1998). A summary of the estimated merger costs and 
         restructuring charges follows:



                                                                    Merger Costs and
                                                                  Restructuring Charges

         The effect of the proposed charge has been reflected in the pro forma
         condensed combined consolidated statement of financial condition as of
         September 30, 1998; however, since this charge is non-recurring, it has
         not been reflected in the pro forma combined statements of operations.

(5)      Pro forma adjustments to treasury stock and additional paid-in capital,
         at September 30, 1998, reflect the retirement of LIB's treasury stock.

(6)      Pro forma adjustments to unearned common stock held by RRPs and
         additional paid-in capital, at September 30, 1998, reflect the
         cancellation of 93,004 unallocated MRP shares of LIB at a cost of
         $11.50 per share.

(7)      Certain reclassifications have been made to conform LIB's presentation
         with AFC's presentation.
