(5)  Selected financial ratios are end of year ratios, with the exception of all
     ratios that are based on average balances during the indicated year.
(6)  The net interest rate spread represents the difference between the weighted
     average yield on average interest-earning assets and the weighted average
     cost of average interest-bearing liabilities. The weighted average cost
     also includes the effect of the Bank's payment of a special interest
     payment of 5% and 15% of the interest paid on savings and NOW accounts for
     the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Additionally,

     payment was not paid on T R Financial Corp. accounts. No such special
     interest payment was paid in 2002, 2001 or 2000.
(8)  The efficiency ratio represents the ratio of general and administrative
     expenses, divided by the sum of net interest income and non-interest
     income, adjusted for securities gains or losses, gains on sales of fixed
     assets and servicing impairment provisions.
(9)  Performance and cash basis performance ratios are measures that the Company
     believes are useful to investors in order to gain an understanding of the
     trends and the results of operations for the Company's core business.
     However, such ratios are not calculated in accordance with accounting
     principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP).

General

Roslyn Bancorp, Inc. (on a stand alone basis, the Holding Company), incorporated
on July 26, 1996, is the holding company for The Roslyn Savings Bank and its
subsidiaries (collectively, the Bank). The Bank was converted from a New York
State chartered mutual savings bank to a New York State chartered stock savings
bank on January 10, 1997.

During 2000, the Company announced its strategic initiatives and plans to
discontinue its residential mortgage

                                                                               4



banking business through the divestiture of its mortgage banking subsidiary,
Roslyn National Mortgage Corporation (RNMC). The Company recorded a pre-tax
restructuring charge of $12.0 million in the third quarter of 2000 related to
the divestiture of RNMC. See Note 3 of Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements.

After the close of business on February 16, 1999, T R Financial Corp., a
Delaware company, merged with and into the Company and T R Financial Corp.'s
subsidiary, Roosevelt Savings Bank, a New York State chartered stock savings
bank, merged with and into the Bank (the Merger). All subsidiaries of Roosevelt
Savings Bank became subsidiaries of the Bank. The acquisition was accounted for
as a pooling-of-interests, and, accordingly, all historical financial
information for the Company has been restated to include T R Financial Corp.'s
historical information for the earliest period presented. Previously reported
balances of T R Financial Corp. have been reclassified to conform to the
Company's presentation and restated to give effect to the Merger. See Note 2 of
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Company conducts business primarily through its ownership of the Bank.
Currently, the Bank operates 37 banking locations in the New York boroughs of
Kings, Queens and The Bronx, and the counties of Nassau and Suffolk. Subsequent
to the 2000 divestiture of RNMC, the Bank discontinued its operations through
mortgage origination offices.

The Company's results of operations are dependent primarily on net interest
income, which is the difference between the income earned on its loan and
security portfolios and the cost of funds, consisting of the interest paid, on
its deposits and borrowings. Results of operations are also affected by, among
other things, the Company's provision for loan losses, security sale activities,
levels of non-performing assets, sales of non-deposit investments and real
estate joint venture activities and, to a lesser extent, loan sale and servicing
activities. The Company's non-interest expense principally consists of
compensation and employee benefits, occupancy and equipment expense, federal
deposit insurance premiums and other operating expenses. Results of operations
are also affected by general economic and competitive conditions, particularly
changes in interest rates, government policies and actions of regulatory
authorities.

Management Strategy

The Company's general operating strategy focuses on the origination of
commercial, construction, multi-family and consumer loans and the efficient use
of personnel and technological resources. During the last half of 2000 the
Company reduced its previous emphasis on investing in one- to four-family loans
through the divestiture of RNMC, in favor of investing in higher margin business
lines, including commercial, construction and multi-family real estate loans, as
well as consumer and business loans. The Company's current operating strategy
consists primarily of: (1) the origination of commercial, construction and
multi-family real estate loans in the Bank's primary market area and the
origination of consumer and business loans; (2) investing funds, not utilized
for loan originations, in the purchase of United States Government Agency
securities, mortgage-backed and mortgage related securities, preferred stock of
corporate issuers and repurchasing the Company's common stock; (3) expanding the
branch network by opening de novo branches; (4) generating fee income by
attracting and retaining high transaction core deposit accounts and through the
sale of non-deposit investment products; and (5) maintaining a low expense ratio
by efficiently utilizing personnel, branch facilities and alternative delivery
channels (telephone banking, internet and ATMs) to service its customers.

Management of Interest Rate Risk

                                                                               5



The principal objectives of the Company's interest rate risk management are to
evaluate the interest rate risk inherent in certain balance sheet accounts, to
maintain an appropriate level of risk given the Company's business strategy,
operating environment, capital and liquidity requirements and performance
objectives, and to manage the risk consistent with the Board of Directors'
approved guidelines. Through such management, the Company seeks to reduce the
vulnerability of its operations to changes in interest rates. The Company's
Board of Directors reviews the Company's interest rate risk position on a
monthly basis. Additionally, an Asset/Liability Committee comprised of the
Bank's senior management reviews the Company's interest rate risk position on a
weekly basis. Senior management also reviews, with the Board of Directors, its
activities and strategies, the effect of those activities and strategies on the
Company's net interest margin, the market value of the Company's portfolio of
investments and loans and the effect that changes in interest rates may have on
the Company's investment and loan portfolios and exposure limits.

The Company has utilized the following strategies to manage interest rate risk:
(1) increasing low-cost core deposits through an expanded branch network and
product offerings; (2) focusing on higher margin business lines by expanding
construction, commercial real estate and multi-family lending; and (3)
effectively utilizing borrowed funds and deposits to fund and sustain asset
growth while maintaining market spreads. Management believes that reducing
exposure to interest rate fluctuations in this manner will enhance long-term
profitability.

Gap Analysis

The matching of assets and liabilities may be analyzed by examining the extent
to which such assets and liabilities are "interest rate sensitive" and by
monitoring an institution's "interest rate sensitivity gap." An asset or
liability is said to be interest rate sensitive within a specific time period if
it will mature or reprice within that time period. The interest rate sensitivity
gap is defined as the difference between the amount of interest-earning assets
maturing or repricing within a specific time period and the amount of
interest-bearing liabilities maturing or repricing within that same time period.
At December 31, 2002, the Company's one-year gap position was positive 42.73%. A
gap is considered positive when the amount of interest rate sensitive assets
exceeds the amount of interest rate sensitive liabilities. A gap is considered
negative when the amount of interest rate sensitive liabilities exceeds the
amount of interest rate sensitive assets. During a period of rising interest
rates, an institution with a positive gap position would be in a better position
to invest in higher yielding assets, which, consequently, may result in the
yield of its interest-earning assets increasing at a rate faster than its cost
of interest-bearing liabilities, as opposed to if the institution had a negative
gap. Accordingly, during a period of falling interest rates, an institution with
a positive gap would tend to have its interest-earning assets repricing downward
at a faster rate than its interest-bearing liabilities as compared to an
institution with a negative gap which, consequently, may tend to negatively
affect the growth of its net interest income. The Company's December 31, 2002
cumulative one-year gap position reflects the classification of
available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities within repricing periods
based on their contractual maturities adjusted for estimated callable features
and prepayments, if any. If available-for-sale securities at December 31, 2002
were classified within the "Up to One Year" maturity or repricing category, net
interest-earning assets would have exceeded interest-bearing liabilities
maturing or repricing within the same period by $6.30 billion, representing a
positive cumulative one-year gap position of 57.14%. Available-for-sale
securities may or may not be sold, subject to management's discretion. Given the
Company's existing liquidity position and its ability to sell securities from
its available-for-sale portfolio, management of the Company believes that its
current gap position will not have a material adverse effect on its liquidity
position.

The following table sets forth the amounts of interest-earning assets and
interest-bearing liabilities outstanding at December 31, 2002, that are
anticipated by the Company, based upon certain assumptions, to reprice or mature
in each of the future time periods shown (the Gap Table). Except as stated, the
amount of assets and liabilities shown which reprice or mature during a
particular period was determined in accordance with the earlier of the term to
reprice or the contractual maturity of the asset or liability. The Gap Table
sets forth an approximation of the projected repricing of assets and liabilities
at December 31, 2002 on the basis of contractual maturities, anticipated
prepayments, callable features and scheduled rate adjustments within a one year
period and

                                                                               6



subsequent annual time intervals. Prepayment rate assumptions ranging from 4% to
70% per year were applied to the real estate loan portfolio, dependent upon the
loan type and coupon. Mortgage-backed and mortgage related securities were
assumed to prepay at rates between 45% and 95% annually, dependent upon the
security type and pass-through rate. Money market accounts were assumed to decay
(estimated deposit withdrawal activity) at 11% per annum, savings accounts were
assumed to decay at 5% per annum and Super NOW and NOW accounts were assumed to
decay at 3% per annum. Prepayment and deposit decay rates can have a significant
impact on the Company's estimated gap. While the Company believes such
assumptions are reasonable, there can be no assurance that assumed prepayment
and decay rates will approximate actual future real estate loan and
mortgage-backed and mortgage related securities principal prepayments and
deposit withdrawal activity.

In addition to the foregoing, callable features of certain assets and
liabilities may cause actual experience to vary from that indicated. Included in
the Gap Table are $1.26 billion of callable securities at their estimated fair
value and classified primarily based upon their respective call features and
interest rates. Of such securities, $975.9 million have been classified, using
callable features, in the "Up to One Year" category, $70.4 million have been
classified, using callable features, in the "One to Two Years" category and
$213.7 million have been classified, according to their contractual maturity
date, in the "Over Five Years" category. Also included in the Gap Table are
$2.32 billion of callable borrowings, classified according to their maturity
date, except for $150.0 million of such borrowings which have been classified
according to their first call date in the "Up to One Year" category. If all
callable borrowings at December 31, 2002 were classified according to their
first call date, the Company's one-year gap position would have been positive
27.87%.

The Company's positive gap position at December 31, 2002 of 42.73% as compared
to a positive 15.33% at December 31, 2001 primarily reflects the effect of
continued prepayment activity experienced during 2002 in the mortgage-backed
securities and real estate loan portfolios, as well as recent investment in
callable federal agency securities. In addition, maturities of certificates of
deposit (CDs) lengthened during 2002. Certificates of deposits maturing in one
year or less decreased from 79.9% of the total CDs held at December 31, 2001 to
56.7% of the total CDs held at December 31, 2002. Slightly offsetting the
lengthening of CD maturities was an increase in the estimated withdrawal
activity of the "Up to One Year" category in money market and savings accounts,
which reflects the impact of the rise in deposit activity for these accounts.

Certain shortcomings are inherent in the method of analysis presented in the
preceding table. For example, although certain assets and liabilities may have
similar maturities or repricing periods, they may react in different degrees to
changes in market interest rates. Also, the interest rates on certain types of
assets and liabilities may fluctuate in advance of changes in market interest
rates, while interest rates on other types of assets and liabilities may lag
behind changes in market rates. Additionally, certain assets, such as
adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) loans, have features which limit adjustments to
interest rates on a short-term basis and over the life of the asset. Further, in
the event of a change in interest rates, prepayment and early withdrawal levels
may deviate significantly from those assumed in calculating the GAP Table.
Finally, the ability of borrowers to service their ARM loans may decrease in the
event of an interest rate increase. The Gap Table reflects managements estimates
as to periods to repricing at particular points in time. Among the factors
considered, management monitors both current trends and historical repricing
experience with respect to particular or similar products. For example, the Bank
has a number of deposit accounts, including passbook savings, Super NOW and NOW
and money market accounts which, subject to certain regulatory exceptions, may
be withdrawn at any time. The Bank, based upon its historical experience,
assumes that while all customers in these account categories could withdraw
their funds on any given day, not all will do so even if market interest rates
were to change. As a result, different assumptions may be used at different
points in time.

The Company's interest rate sensitivity is also monitored by management through
the use of a net portfolio value (NPV) model, which generates estimates of the
change in NPV over a range of interest rate change scenarios. NPV is the present
value of expected cash flows from assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet
contracts. The NPV ratio, under any interest rate scenario, is defined as the
NPV in that scenario divided by the market value of assets in the same scenario.
For purposes of the NPV model, prepayment assumptions similar to those used in
the Gap Table were used, reinvestment rates were those in effect for similar
products currently being offered and rates on core deposits were modified to
reflect recent trends. The following table sets forth the Company's NPV as of
December 31, 2002:

(1)  The NPV model excludes $63.0 million of guaranteed preferred beneficial
     interest in junior subordinated debentures.
(2)  Based on the portfolio value of the Company's assets assuming no change in
     interest rates.

As in the case with the Gap Table, certain shortcomings are inherent in the
methodology used in the above interest rate risk measurements. The current low
interest rate environment prevents the performance of a downward change in
interest rates of 200 basis points as certain asset yields, liability costs and
related indexes are below 2.00% at December 31, 2002. Modeling changes in NPV
requires the making of certain assumptions, which may or may not reflect the
manner in which actual yields and costs respond to changes in market interest
rates. In this regard, the NPV model presented assumes that the composition of
the Company's interest sensitive assets and liabilities existing at the
beginning of a period remains constant over the period being measured and also
assumes that a particular change in interest rates is reflected uniformly across
the yield curve regardless of the duration to maturity or repricing of specific
assets and liabilities. Accordingly, although the NPV and net interest income
models provide an indication of the Company's interest rate risk exposure at a
particular point in time, actual results may differ from those indicated by the
models as such measurements are not intended to and may not provide a precise
forecast of the effect of changes in market interest rates on the Company's net
interest income.

                                                                               9



Analysis of Net Interest Income

Net interest income represents the difference between income on interest-earning
assets and expense on interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income depends
upon the volume of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and
the interest rates earned or paid upon them.

The following table sets forth certain information regarding the Company's
consolidated average statements of financial condition and the Company's average
yields on interest-earning assets and average costs of interest-bearing
liabilities for the years indicated. Such yield or costs are derived by dividing
income or expense, by the average balance of interest-earning assets or
interest-bearing liabilities, respectively. Average balances are derived from
average daily balances. The yields and costs include fees that are considered
adjustments to such yields and costs.

                                                                              10

Rate/Volume Analysis

The following table presents the extent to which changes in interest rates and
changes in the volume of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing
liabilities have affected the Company's interest income and interest expense
during the periods indicated. Information is provided in each category with
respect to: (1) changes attributable to changes in volume (changes in volume
multiplied by prior rate); (2) changes attributable to changes in rate (changes
in rate multiplied by prior volume); and (3) the net change. The changes
attributable to the combined impact of volume and rate have been allocated
proportionately to the changes due to volume and rate.

Critical Accounting Policies

The Company has identified the accounting policies below as critical to the
Company's operations and understanding of the Company's results of operations.
Certain accounting policies are considered to be important to the portrayal of
the Company's financial condition, since they require management to make complex
or subjective judgments, some of which may relate to matters that are inherently
uncertain. The inherent sensitivity of the Company's consolidated financial
statements to critical accounting policies and the use of judgments, estimates
and assumptions could result in material differences in the Company's results of
operations or financial condition.

Allowance for Loan Losses - The Company has determined that the methodology used
in determining the level of its allowance for loan losses is critical in the
presentation and understanding of the Company's consolidated financial
statements. The allowance for loan losses represents management's estimate of
probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio. This evaluation process is
subject to numerous estimates and judgments. The frequency of default, risk
ratings and loss recovery rates, among other things, are considered in this
evaluation, as are the size and diversity of individual large credits. Changes
in these estimates could have a direct impact on the provision for loan losses
and could result in a change in the allowance. While management uses available
information to determine losses on loans, future additions to the allowance may
be necessary based, among other things, on unanticipated changes in economic
conditions, particularly in the New York Metropolitan area.

In evaluating the loan portfolio, management takes into consideration numerous
factors such as the Company's loan growth, prior loss experience, present risks
of the loan portfolio, risk ratings assigned by lending personnel, ratings
assigned by the Company's independent loan review function, the present
financial condition of borrowers, current economic conditions and other
portfolio risk characteristics. The Company's formalized process for assessing
the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses and the resultant need, if any,
for periodic provisions to the allowance charged to income entails both
individual loan analyses and loan pool analyses. The individual loan analyses
are periodically performed on individually significant loans, or when otherwise
deemed necessary, and primarily encompass multi-family, commercial real estate
and construction and development loans. The result of these analyses may result
in is the allocation of the overall allowance to specific allowances for
individual loans considered impaired and non-impaired.

The loan pool analyses are performed on the balance of the Company's loan
portfolio, which were not individually reviewed. The pools consist of
aggregations of homogeneous loans, primarily one- to four-family residential and
consumer loans, having similar credit risk characteristics. Examples of pools
defined by the Company for this purpose are Company-originated, fixed-rate
residential loans; Company-originated, adjustable-rate residential loans;
purchased fixed-rate residential loans; outside-serviced residential loans;
residential second mortgage loans; participations in conventional first mortgage
loans; residential construction loans; commercial construction loans, etc. For
each such defined pool there is a set of sub-pools based upon delinquency
status, including: current, 30-59 days, 60-89 days, 90-119 days and 120+ days
(the latter two sub-pools are considered to be "classified" by the Company). For
each sub-pool, the Company has developed a range of allowances necessary to
adequately provide for probable losses inherent in that pool of loans. These
ranges are based upon a number of factors, including the risk characteristics of
the pool, actual loss and migration experience, expected loss and migration
experience considering current economic conditions, industry norms and the
relative seasoning of the pool. The ranges of allowance developed by the Company
are applied to the outstanding principal balance of the loans in each sub-pool;
as a result, further specific and general allocations of the overall allowance
are made (the allocations for the classified sub-pools are considered specific
and the allocations for the non-classified sub-pools are considered general).

The Company's allowance for loan losses also takes into consideration known and
expected trends that are likely to affect the creditworthiness of the loan
portfolio as a whole, such as national and local economic conditions,
unemployment conditions in the local lending area and the timeliness of court
foreclosure proceedings in the Company's lending areas. Management continues to
believe that the Company's allowance for loan losses at

                                                                              13



December 31, 2002 is both appropriate in the circumstances and adequate to
provide for estimated probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio.

Employee Benefit Plans - The Company provides a range of benefits to its
employees and retired employees, including pensions and post-retirement health
care and life insurance benefits. The Company records annual amounts relating to
these plans based on calculations specified by accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which include various actuarial
assumptions, such as discount rates, assumed rates of return, assumed rates of
compensation increases, turnover rates and health care cost trends. The Company
reviews its actuarial assumptions on an annual basis and makes modifications to
the assumptions based on current rates and trends when it is deemed appropriate
to do so. As required by GAAP, the effect of the modifications are generally
recorded or amortized over future periods. The Company believes that the
assumptions utilized in recording its obligations under its employee benefit
plans are reasonable based upon the advice of its actuaries.

Investment in Debt and Equity Securities - Certain of the Company's fixed income
securities classified as available-for-sale are not publicly traded, and quoted
market prices are not available from brokers or investment bankers on these
securities. The change in the fair value of these available-for-sale securities
is recorded in other comprehensive income as an unrealized gain or loss. The
Company calculates the fair value of these securities based upon assumptions
established through the use of pricing models and discounted cash flows of
similar outstanding securities. Realized gains and losses on sales of securities
are computed using the specific identification method. The Company conducts a
periodic review and evaluation of the securities portfolio to determine if the
value of any security has declined below its carrying value and whether such
decline is other than temporary.

Income Taxes - The Company has established reserves for possible payments to
various taxing authorities with respect to the admissibility and timing of tax
deductions. Management has made certain assumptions and judgments concerning the
eventual outcome of these items. The Company continually reviews those
assumptions and judgments to reflect any changes that may have arisen concerning
these items.

Comparison of Financial Condition for the Years Ended December 31, 2002 and 2001

Total Assets

Total assets at December 31, 2002 were $11.02 billion, an increase of $2.28
billion, or 26.1%, from $8.74 billion at December 31, 2001. This increase
primarily was due to increases in the mortgage-backed and mortgage related
securities portfolio and the debt and equity securities portfolio, partially
offset by a decrease in total loans receivable held for investment, net.
Mortgage-backed and mortgage related securities increased $1.86 billion, or
52.2%, from $3.56 billion at December 31, 2001 to $5.42 billion at December 31,
2002. Debt and equity securities, net, increased $890.2 million, or 88.6%, to
$1.89 billion at December 31, 2002, as compared to $1.00 billion at December 31,
2001. These increases in the securities portfolios were primarily due to the
deployment of proceeds received from increased deposits, borrowings and
principal repayments on loans and securities into mortgage-backed and mortgage
related securities and debt and equity securities. Total loans receivable held
for investment, net, decreased $540.5 million, or 14.6%, to $3.16 billion at
December 31, 2002, as compared to $3.70 billion at December 31, 2001. The
decrease in total loans receivable held for investment, net, is primarily due to
principal repayments, which were partially offset by loan originations for the
twelve months ended December 31, 2002.

Total Liabilities

Total liabilities at December 31, 2002 were $10.38 billion, an increase of $2.21
billion, or 27.1%, from $8.17 billion at December 31, 2001. The increase in
total liabilities principally was due to an increase in total deposits and
borrowed funds. Total deposits increased $1.22 billion, or 27.3%, from $4.49
billion at December 31, 2001 to $5.71 billion at December 31, 2002. The increase
in total deposits reflects the Bank's continued emphasis on

                                                                              14



attracting core deposits through new product offerings and the addition of de
novo branches. Core deposits increased $851.4 million, or 49.2%, from $1.73
billion at December 31, 2001 to $2.58 billion at December 31, 2002.
Additionally, certificates of deposit increased $372.7 million, or 13.5%, from
$2.76 billion at December 31, 2001 to $3.13 billion at December 31, 2002. The
increase in certificates of deposit includes a net increase in brokered
deposits. The Company had acquisitions of $192.1 million and maturities of $24.8
million of brokered deposits during the year ended December 31, 2002. At
December 31, 2002 and 2001, brokered deposits totaled $226.4 million and $59.1
million, respectively. Borrowed funds increased $998.9 million, or 28.4%, from
$3.52 billion at December 31, 2001 to $4.52 billion at December 31, 2002. The
Company utilizes borrowings, primarily in the form of reverse-repurchase
agreements and Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) borrowings, to fund asset growth.
At December 31, 2002 and 2001, senior notes totaled $189.8 million and $75.0
million, respectively. See Note 11 to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
for further discussion of the senior notes.

Capital Securities

On March 20, 2002, Roslyn Preferred Trust I (RPT I), a Delaware statutory
business trust and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, issued $63.0
million aggregate liquidation amount of floating rate guaranteed preferred
beneficial interests in Junior Subordinated Debentures (the Capital Securities)
due April 1, 2032, at a distribution rate equal to the 6-month LIBOR plus 360
basis points, resetting on a semi-annual basis. The maximum distribution rate on
the Capital Securities is 12.0% through April 1, 2007, with no maximum
thereafter. The Company may redeem the Capital Securities, in whole or in part,
at any time on or after April 1, 2007. At December 31, 2002, the distribution
rate was 5.36%. See Note 12 to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for
further discussion of the Capital Securities.

Stockholders' Equity

Stockholders' equity increased $7.5 million, or 1.3%, to $576.5 million at
December 31, 2002 from $569.0 million at December 31, 2001. The increase was due
to net income for the year ended December 31, 2002 of $146.4 million, the
amortization of unallocated and unearned shares of common stock held by the
Company's stock-related benefit plans of $9.2 million and an increase of $30.6
million in the net unrealized gains on securities available-for-sale from
December 31, 2001. Items that offset these increases were dividends paid of
$41.9 million, the $14.6 million effect of stock options exercised for the year
ended December 31, 2002 and the purchase of $120.6 million, or 6,363,474 shares,
of treasury stock and $1.6 million, or 73,162 shares, of supplemental executive
retirement plan (SERP) and Stock-Based Incentive Plan (SBIP) stock for the year
ended December 31, 2002.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Years Ended December 31, 2002 and 2001

General

The Company reported net income of $146.4 million for the year ended December
31, 2002, or basic and diluted earnings per share of $1.85 and $1.82,
respectively, as compared to net income of $111.2 million, or basic and diluted
earnings per share of $1.30 and $1.28, respectively, for the year ended December
31, 2001.

Interest Income

Interest income increased to $602.3 million for the year ended December 31,
2002, an increase of $40.4 million, or 7.2%, from $561.9 million for the prior
year. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in average
interest-earning assets of $1.69 billion, or 21.3%, to $9.62 billion for the
year ended December 31, 2002 from $7.93 billion for the prior year. This
increase was partially offset by a decrease in the average yield on
interest-earning assets of 83 basis points from 7.09% for the year ending
December 31, 2001 to 6.26% for the year ended December 31, 2002. The increase in
average interest-earning assets was primarily attributable to an increase of
$1.67 billion in the average balance of mortgage-backed and mortgage related
securities, net, a $504.7

                                                                              15



million increase in the average balance of debt and equity securities, net, a
$39.2 million increase in the average balance of money market investments and a
$2.4 million increase in the average balance of consumer and other loans, net.
These increases were partially offset by a $524.3 million decrease in the
average balance of real estate loans, net.

Interest income on mortgage-backed and mortgage related securities, net,
increased $77.6 million, or 40.1%, to $271.5 million for the year ended December
31, 2002 from $193.9 million for the same period in 2001. The increase was a
result of a $1.67 billion, or 55.1%, increase in the average balance of
mortgage-backed and mortgage related securities, net, from $3.02 billion for the
year ended December 31, 2001 to $4.69 billion for the year ended December 31,
2002. The increase in the average balance of such securities was due to the
utilization of part of the proceeds received from increased borrowings and
deposit liabilities, coupled with the re-deployment of principal repayments of
real estate loans, to purchase mortgage-backed and mortgage related securities.
The increase was partially offset by a 62 basis point decline in the average
yield on mortgage-backed and mortgage related securities from 6.41% for the year
ended December 31, 2001 to 5.79% for the same period in 2002.

Interest income on debt and equity securities, net, increased $21.9 million, or
29.0%, to $97.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 from $75.8 million
for the same period in 2001. The increase in interest income on debt and equity
securities, net, was principally due to a $504.7 million, or 53.0%, increase in
the average balance of debt and equity securities, net, from $951.4 million for
the year ended December 31, 2001 to $1.46 billion for the year ended December
31, 2002. This increase was partially offset by a 126 basis point decrease in
the average yield on debt and equity securities, net, from 7.97% for the year
ended December 31, 2001 to 6.71% for the same period in 2002.

Interest income on money market investments decreased $243,000, or 15.4%, to
$1.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 from $1.6 million for the same
period in 2001. The decrease was the result of a decrease of 200 basis points in
the average yield on money market investments from 3.61% for the year ended
December 31, 2001 to 1.61%, for the same period in 2002, coupled with a $39.2
million, or 89.6%, increase in the average balance of money market investments
from $43.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 to $83.0 million for the
year ended December 31, 2002. The increase in the average balance of money
market investments reflects an increase in volume of principal prepayments in
2002 as compared to 2001. The decrease in average yield was principally due to
the declining interest rate environment experienced during 2002.

Interest income on consumer and other loans, net, decreased $5.7 million, or
26.4%, to $16.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 from $21.7 million
for the same period in 2001. The decrease was a result of a decrease of 196
basis points in the average yield on consumer and other loans, net, from 7.26%
for the year ended December 31, 2001 to 5.30% for the same period in 2002.
Offsetting the decrease in average yield was a $2.4 million, or 0.8%, increase
in the average balance of consumer and other loans, net, from $299.0 million for
the year ended December 31, 2001 to $301.4 million for the year ended December
31, 2002. The increase in the average balance of consumer and other loans, net,
reflects an increase in loan volume in 2002 as compared to 2001. The decrease in
average yield was principally due to downward repricing of consumer loan
products during the declining interest environment experienced during 2002.

Interest income on real estate loans, net, decreased $53.3 million, or 19.8%, to
$215.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 from $269.0 million for the
same period in 2001. The decrease was a result of the decrease of $524.3
million, or 14.5%, in the average balance of real estate loans, net, outstanding
from $3.61 billion for the year ended December 31, 2001 to $3.09 billion for the
year ended December 31, 2002, coupled with a 46 basis point decrease in the
average yield on real estate loans from 7.45% for the year ended December 31,
2001 to 6.99% for the same period in 2002. The decrease in the average balance
was the result of the increased amount of principal repayments occurring in the
one- to four-family loan portfolio in 2002 compared to 2001, combined with
management's decision to de-emphasize its reliance on one- to four-family
lending. The decrease in yield was principally due to the declining interest
rate environment experienced during 2002, which resulted in the

                                                                              16



increased principal repayments as consumers refinanced their one- to four-family
loans at lower rates, primarily with third parties.

Interest Expense

Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2002 was $324.2 million,
compared to $341.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2001, a decrease of
$17.5 million, or 5.1%. This decrease was the result of a decline in the average
rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities of 109 basis points from 4.67% for the
year ended December 31, 2001 to 3.58% for the same 2002 period. This decline in
average rate paid was offset by an increase in the average balance of
interest-bearing liabilities of $1.73 billion, or 23.5%, from $7.32 billion in
2001 to $9.05 billion in 2002. The increase in the average balance of
interest-bearing liabilities in 2002 as compared to 2001 was due to increases in
the average balances of borrowed funds and interest-bearing deposits.

The average balance of borrowed funds increased $963.6 million, or 30.5%, from
$3.15 billion for the year ended December 31, 2001 to $4.12 billion for the year
ended December 31, 2002. The increase in average balance, offset by a 76 basis
point decrease in the average cost of borrowings, resulted in a $21.3 million,
or 12.4%, increase in interest expense on borrowed funds, from $172.0 million
for the year ended December 31, 2001 to $193.3 million for the year ended
December 31, 2002. The proceeds from the increase in average borrowed funds were
primarily used to fund asset growth and repurchase the Company's common stock.
The decrease in the average cost of borrowings was due to the continued
declining interest rate environment experienced during 2002, coupled with the
impact of $286.7 million and $258.9 million of reverse-repurchase agreements
extinguished during the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2002, respectively.

The average balance of interest-bearing deposits increased $759.3 million, or
18.2%, from $4.17 billion for the year ended December 31, 2001 to $4.93 billion
for the year ended December 31, 2002. The increase was primarily due to an
increase in the average balance of certificates of deposit of $290.0 million, or
10.6%, an increase in the average balance of money market accounts of $250.1
million, or 77.7%, an increase in the average balance of Super NOW and NOW
accounts of $62.9 million, or 28.9%, and an increase in the average balance of
savings accounts of $156.2 million, or 17.4%. The increase in average
interest-bearing deposits was achieved by expansion of the Bank's branch network
during 2001 and 2002, as well as the introduction of new deposit products and
the continuation of competitive deposit pricing. The increase in average balance
was offset by a 141 basis point decrease in the average cost of deposits which
resulted in a $38.7 million, or 22.9%, decrease in interest expense on deposits,
from $169.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 to $131.0 million for
the year ended December 31, 2002. The decrease in the average rate paid was
principally due to the declining interest rate environment experienced during
2002.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income before provision for loan losses was $278.1 million for the
year ended December 31, 2002, an increase of $57.9 million, or 26.3%, from
$220.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2001. The increase in net
interest income was attributable to increases in the net interest rate spread
and margin of 26 and 11 basis points, respectively, for the year ended December
31, 2002 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2001. The increase in the
net interest rate spread and margin for 2002 resulted primarily from the
downward repricing of the Company's interest-bearing liabilities to an average
rate of 3.58% in 2002, as compared to 4.67% in 2001.

Provision for Loan Losses

The Company had a $3.0 million provision for loan losses for the year ended
December 31, 2002, as compared to an $850,000 provision for loan losses for the
year ended December 31, 2001. The provision for loan losses for the years ended
December 31, 2002 and 2001 reflects management's qualitative and quantitative
assessment of the loan portfolio, changes in the composition of the loan
portfolio and net charge-offs and prospects for collection of delinquent loans.
A significant factor supporting management's decision to increase the provision
for loan losses in 2002 was the migration of the loan portfolio toward higher
risk commercial real estate,

                                                                              17



construction and multi-family loans. At December 31, 2002 and 2001, the
allowance for loan losses amounted to $43.4 million and $40.6 million,
respectively, and the ratio of such allowance to total non-performing loans was
103.72% and 89.29%, respectively. Included in non-performing loans at December
31, 2002 and 2001 were $3.6 million and $5.9 million, respectively, of Federal
Housing Administration (FHA) and Veterans Administration (VA) government
guaranteed loans. Excluding these loans, non-performing loans totaled $38.3
million and $39.6 million at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively, resulting
in non-performing loan coverage ratios of 113.47% and 102.50%, respectively.
Management assesses the level and adequacy of the allowance for loan losses
based on an evaluation of known and inherent risks in the loan portfolio and
upon continuing analysis of the factors underlying the quality of the loan
portfolio. Management believes the Company's reported allowance for loan losses
at December 31, 2002 is both appropriate in the circumstances and adequate to
provide for estimated probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio.

The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total non-performing loans
continued to be negatively impacted by the 2001 fourth quarter placement of two
non-performing commercial credit relationships, totaling $32.1 million and $32.3
million at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively, on non-accrual status.

The first commercial credit consists of loans totaling $13.3 million secured by
four commercial properties in the New York Metropolitan area. As a preferred
alternative to pursuing foreclosure, the Bank, the borrowers' other creditors
and the chapter 11 debtors reached agreement on a plan that provided for the
prompt sale of all of the properties securing the Bank's loans and full
repayment of all sums owed to the Bank under its notes, with consideration in
excess of that amount being paid to the subordinated secured creditors. During
the first quarter of 2003, three of the four collateral properties were sold,
generating $11.1 million in proceeds which were entirely utilized to reduce this
non-performing credit to $2.2 million. In consideration for the Bank's agreement
to release the borrower's principals from liability for the debt, the borrowers
transferred title to the fourth remaining property to a subsidiary of the Bank
by deed-in-lieu of foreclosure and assigned to such subsidiary all of the
borrower's rights under a certain contract for the sale of the property to a
third party, which is expected to close during the first quarter of 2003.

The second credit is an $18.8 million loan secured by two assisted living
facilities in the New York Metropolitan area. A court-appointed receiver has
operated the facilities since the commencement of the borrowers' consolidated
bankruptcy filing in November 2001 and has improved the facilities' cash flows
and profitability since that time. Concurrently, the facilities are actively
being marketed for sale. Independent third parties have valued the facilities in
excess of $16.0 million and, based upon such independent opinion of values,
management believes it has allocated an appropriate amount of the allowance for
loan losses to this credit.

Non-Interest Income

Non-interest income increased $21.5 million, or 67.0%, from $32.2 million for
the year ended December 31, 2001 to $53.7 million for the same period in 2002.
The increase reflects the increase in fees and service charges of $4.8 million,
or 39.7%, from $12.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 to $16.9
million for the comparable 2002 period. The increase was attributable to a rise
in fee income and service charges resulting from the continued success of the
Bank's checking campaign, as well as increased fee income associated with the
sale of non-deposit investment products. Primarily contributing to the increase
in non-interest income was joint venture income of $17.5 million for the year
ended December 31, 2002, as compared to $6.3 million for the corresponding 2001
period. Such income resulted from the delivery of 275 units in the Company's
joint venture for the development of a residential community in Oyster Bay, New
York for the year ended December 31, 2002 as compared to 81 units delivered for
the year ended December 31, 2001. Also contributing to the increase in
non-interest income was an increase of $6.5 million in net gain on securities
for the year ended December 31, 2002. The increase in gain on securities
reflects management's efforts to reposition the balance sheet during the year
ended December 31, 2002. During 2002 the Company sold $1.06 billion of
securities as compared to $504.2 million sold during 2001. Income on Bank Owned
Life Insurance (BOLI) decreased $234,000 during the current year period
reflecting a decrease in the guaranteed rate paid on the cash surrender value of
the BOLI policy.

                                                                              18



Non-Interest Expense

Total non-interest expense was $102.0 million for the year ended December 31,
2002, as compared to $88.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2001, an
increase of $13.9 million, or 15.8%. The increase in non-interest expense was
attributable to an increase in general and administrative expenses, primarily
relating to increases in compensation and benefits expenses and other
non-interest expenses. Additionally, non-interest expense increased due to the
incurrence $2.9 million of expense for the year ended December 31, 2002 relating
to $63.0 million of Capital Securities issued in March of 2002. See Note 12 to
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of the Capital
Securities.

General and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2002
increased $12.0 million, or 15.2%, to $91.7 million from $79.7 million for the
year ended December 31, 2001. The increase in general and administrative
expenses was primarily due to an increase in compensation and employee benefit
costs of $6.3 million, an increase in occupancy and equipment expense of $2.0
million and an increase in other non-interest expenses of $3.7 million.

The increase in compensation and employee benefits of $6.3 million, or 12.9%,
primarily was due to an increase in employee performance-based compensation and
greater compensation costs associated with the Company's branch expansion. The
increase in occupancy and equipment expenses of $2.0 million, or 17.4%, relates
to additional costs associated with the operation of several new banking
locations which opened in late 2001 and 2002. The $3.7 million, or 24.2%,
increase in other non-interest expenses was primarily due to increased item and
data processing, professional fees and other operational expenses associated
with the increased branch network, as well as higher legal fees related to an
increased number of loan closings.

Income Taxes

Provision for income taxes increased $28.1 million, or 54.0%, from $52.2 million
recorded during the year ended December 31, 2001 to $80.3 million during the
year ended December 31, 2002. This increase was principally due to a $63.3
million, or 38.8%, increase in income before provision for income taxes for the
year ended December 31, 2002.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Years Ended December 31, 2001 and 2000

General

The Company reported net income of $111.2 million for the year ended December
31, 2001, or basic and diluted earnings per share of $1.30 and $1.28,
respectively, as compared to net income of $89.9 million, or basic and diluted
earnings per share of $0.96 and $0.95, respectively, for the year ended December
31, 2000.

Interest Income

Interest income increased to $561.9 million for the year ended December 31,
2001, an increase of $22.1 million, or 4.1%, from $539.8 million for the prior
year. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in average
interest-earning assets of $579.8 million, or 7.9%, to $7.93 billion for the
year ended December 31, 2001 from $7.35 billion for the prior year. This
increase was partially offset by a decrease in the average yield on
interest-earning assets of 25 basis points from 7.34% for the year ending
December 31, 2000 to 7.09% for the year ended December 31, 2001. The increase in
average interest-earning assets was primarily attributable to an increase of
$631.4 million in the average balance of mortgage-backed and mortgage related
securities, net, a $45.5 million increase in the average balance of debt and
equity securities, net, and a $42.4 million increase in the average balance of
consumer and other loans, net. These increases were partially offset by a $163.7
million decrease in the average balance of real estate loans, net.

                                                                              19



Interest income on mortgage-backed and mortgage related securities, net,
increased $29.1 million, or 17.6%, to $193.9 million for the year ended December
31, 2001 from $164.8 million for the same period in 2000. The increase was a
result of a $631.4 million, or 26.3%, increase in the average balance of
mortgage-backed and mortgage related securities, net, from $2.39 billion for the
year ended December 31, 2000 to $3.02 billion for the year ended December 31,
2001. The increase in average balance was due to the utilization of part of the
proceeds received from increased borrowings and deposit liabilities, coupled
with the re-deployment of principal repayments of real estate loans, to purchase
mortgage-backed and mortgage related securities. The increase was partially
offset by a 48 basis point decline in the average yield on mortgage-backed and
mortgage related securities from 6.89% for the year ended December 31, 2000 to
6.41% for the same period in 2001.

Interest income on debt and equity securities, net, increased $6.6 million, or
9.5%, to $75.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 from $69.2 million
for the same period in 2000. The increase was principally the result of a 33
basis point increase in the average yield on debt and equity securities, net,
from 7.64% for the year ended December 31, 2000 to 7.97% for the same period in
2001. The increase in interest income on debt and equity securities, net, was
also due to a $45.5 million, or 5.0%, increase in the average balance of debt
and equity securities, net, from $905.9 million for the year ended December 31,
2000 to $951.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2001.

Interest income on consumer and other loans, net, increased $418,000, or 2.0%,
to $21.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 from $21.3 million for the
same period in 2000. The increase was a result of the $42.4 million, or 16.5%,
increase in the average balance of consumer and other loans, net, from $256.6
million for the year ended December 31, 2000 to $299.0 million for the year
ended December 31, 2001. Offsetting the increase was a decrease of 104 basis
points in the average yield on consumer and other loans, net, from 8.30% for the
year ended December 31, 2000 to 7.26%, for the same period in 2001. The increase
in the average balance of consumer and other loans, net, reflects an increase in
home equity and consumer loan volume in 2001 as compared to 2000. The decrease
in average yield was principally due to downward repricing of consumer loan
products during the declining interest rate environment which prevailed during
2001.

Interest income on real estate loans, net, decreased $14.3 million, or 5.1%, to
$269.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 from $283.3 million for the
same period in 2000. The decrease was a result of the decrease of $163.7
million, or 4.3%, in the average balance of real estate loans, net, outstanding
from $3.77 billion for the year ended December 31, 2000 to $3.61 billion for the
year ended December 31, 2001, coupled with a five basis point decrease in the
average yield on real estate loans from 7.50% for the year ended December 31,
2000 to 7.45% for the same period in 2001. The decrease in the average balance
was the result of the increased principal repayments occurring in the one- to
four-family loan portfolio in 2001 compared to 2000, combined with management's
decision to de-emphasize its reliance on one- to four-family lending. The
decrease in yield was principally due to the declining interest rate environment
during 2001, which resulted in increased principal repayments as consumers
refinanced their loans at lower rates, primarily with third parties.

Interest Expense

Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2001 was $341.7 million,
compared to $342.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2000, a decrease of
$441,000, or 0.1%. This decrease was the result of a decline in the average rate
paid on interest-bearing liabilities of 47 basis points from 5.14% for the year
ended December 31, 2000 to 4.67% for the same 2001 period. This decline in
average rate paid was offset by an increase in the average balance of
interest-bearing liabilities from $6.65 billion in 2000 to $7.32 billion in
2001. The increase in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities in
2001 as compared to 2000 was due to increases in the average balances of
borrowed funds and interest-bearing deposits.

The average balance of borrowed funds increased $392.3 million, or 14.2%, from
$2.76 billion for the year ended December 31, 2000 to $3.15 billion for the year
ended December 31, 2001. This increase, offset by a 60 basis point decrease in
the average cost of borrowings, resulted in a $4.9 million, or 2.9%, increase in
interest expense on borrowed funds, from $167.1 million for the year ended
December 31, 2000 to $172.0 million for the year

                                                                              20



ended December 31, 2001. The proceeds from the increase in average borrowed
funds were primarily used to fund asset growth and repurchase the Company's
common stock. The decrease in the average cost of borrowings was due to the
declining interest rate environment experienced during 2001.

The average balance of interest-bearing deposits increased $281.3 million, or
7.2%, from $3.89 billion for the year ended December 31, 2000 to $4.17 billion
for the year ended December 31, 2001. The increase was primarily due to an
increase in the average balance of certificates of deposit of $177.9 million, or
7.0%, an increase in the average balance of money market accounts of $82.2
million, or 34.3%, and an increase in the average balance of Super NOW and NOW
accounts of $49.3 million, or 29.2%, offset in part by a $28.2 million, or 3.0%,
decrease in the average balance of savings accounts. The increase in average
interest-bearing deposits was achieved by expansion of the Bank's branch network
during late 2000 as well as the introduction of new deposit products and
continuation of competitive deposit pricing.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income before provision for loan losses was $220.2 million for the
year ended December 31, 2001, an increase of $22.5 million, or 11.4%, from
$197.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2000. The increase in net
interest income was attributable to increases in the net interest rate spread
and margin of 22 and 9 basis points, respectively, for the year ended December
31, 2001 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2000. The increase in the
net interest rate spread and margin for 2001 resulted from the Company's
interest-bearing liabilities repricing downward at a faster rate than its
interest-earning assets during the declining interest rate environment of 2001.

Provision for Loan Losses

The Company had a $850,000 provision for loan losses for the year ended December
31, 2001, as compared to a $1.0 million provision for loan losses for the year
ended December 31, 2000. The provision for loan losses for the year ended
December 31, 2001 reflects management's qualitative and quantitative assessment
of the loan portfolio, net charge-offs and prospects for collection of
delinquent loans. The $1.0 million provision for loan losses for the year ended
December 31, 2000 related to $11.2 million of loans transferred from RNMC based
on management's qualitative and quantitative assessment of the loan portfolio
and net charge-offs and prospects for collection of delinquent loans in
connection with the divestiture process. At December 31, 2001 and 2000, the
allowance for loan losses amounted to $40.6 million and $40.5 million,
respectively, and the ratio of such allowance to total non-performing loans was
89.29% and 414.36%, respectively. The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to
total non-performing loans principally declined due to two commercial credit
relationships, totaling $32.3 million at December 31, 2001, which were placed on
non-accrual status during the fourth quarter of 2001. Included in non-performing
loans at December 31, 2001 and 2000 were $5.9 million and $3.0 million,
respectively, of Federal Housing Administration (FHA) and Veterans
Administration (VA) government guaranteed loans. Excluding these loans,
non-performing loans totaled $39.6 million and $6.8 million at December 31, 2001
and 2000, respectively, resulting in non-performing loan coverage ratios of
102.50% and 599.73%, respectively. Management assesses the level and adequacy of
the allowance for loan losses based on an evaluation of known and inherent risks
in the loan portfolio and upon continuing analysis of the factors underlying the
quality of the loan portfolio. Management believes the Company's reported
allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2001 is both appropriate in the
circumstances and adequate to provide for estimated probable losses inherent in
the loan portfolio.

Non-Interest Income

Non-interest income increased $26.0 million, or 417.2%, from $6.2 million for
the year ended December 31, 2000 to $32.2 million for the same period in 2001.
The increase principally reflects the increase in the net gain on securities of
$22.3 million from the 2000 period loss of $18.6 million to a net gain on
securities of $3.7

                                                                              21



million in the 2001 period. In addition to the increase in the net gain on
securities, fees and service charges increased $5.0 million, or 70.2%, from $7.1
million for the year ended December 31, 2000 to $12.1 million for the year ended
December 31, 2001. The increase in fees and service charges was attributable to
a rise in fee income and service charges resulting from the continued success of
the Bank's checking campaign, as well as increased fee income associated with
the sale of non-deposit investment products.

Income on BOLI increased $3.0 million, or 62.7%, during the year ended December
31, 2001, reflecting a full twelve months of BOLI income, or $7.7 million, as
compared to the partial year, or $4.7 million, of BOLI income recorded during
the twelve months ended December 31, 2000. Also included in non-interest income
for the year ended December 31, 2001 was $6.3 million in income related to the
delivery of 81 residential units, during the third and forth quarters of 2001,
in connection with the Company's joint venture for the development of a
residential community in Oyster Bay, New York. Partially offsetting the above
increases was a decrease of $8.6 million in mortgage banking operations income
due to the divestiture of RNMC in 2000 and a $2.0 million, or 45.3%, decrease in
other non-interest income. Other non-interest income in 2000 included a $3.3
million gain on the sale of the former T R Financial Corp. headquarters in
Garden City, New York.

Non-Interest Expense

Total non-interest expense was $88.1 million for the year ended December 31,
2001, as compared to $81.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2000, an
increase of $6.5 million, or 8.0%. Included in total non-interest expense for
the year ended December 31, 2001 was $8.3 million in prepayment penalties
resulting from debt extinguishments. Included in total non-interest expense for
the year ended December 31, 2000 was a $12.0 million restructuring charge
associated with the divestiture of RNMC.

General and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2001
increased $10.5 million, or 15.2%, to $79.7 million from $69.2 million for the
year ended December 31, 2000. The increase in general and administrative
expenses was primarily due to an increase in compensation and employee benefit
costs of $13.4 million and an increase in occupancy and equipment expense of
$951,000. These increases were partially offset by decreases in advertising and
promotion expenses of $489,000 and other non-interest expenses of $3.2 million.

The increase in compensation and employee benefits of $13.4 million, or 37.7%,
primarily was due to an increase in employee stock and performance-based benefit
plans expenses and commissions paid in connection with increases in sales of
non-deposit investment products. The increase in compensation and employee
benefits for 2001 also reflects a $3.5 million credit for an employee benefit
plan settlement gain recognized in 2000. The increase in occupancy and equipment
expense of $951,000, or 9.2%, relates to additional costs associated with the
operation of several new banking locations which opened in late 2000, coupled
with the operation of the Company's headquarters in Jericho, New York, for a
full year in 2001. The decrease in advertising and promotion expense of
$489,000, or 12.0%, was due to higher promotion expenses recorded in 2000 for
the Bank's checking campaign. The $3.2 million, or 17.5%, decrease in other
non-interest expenses was primarily due to decreased operational and loan
processing expenses related to the discontinuation of residential mortgage
lending operations conducted by RNMC, as well as a decrease in other operational
and professional expenses.

Income Taxes

Provision for income taxes increased $20.8 million, or 66.2%, from $31.4 million
recorded during the year ended December 31, 2000 to $52.2 million during the
year ended December 31, 2001. This increase was principally due to a $42.1
million, or 34.7%, increase in income before provision for income taxes from
$121.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2000 to $163.4 million for the
year ended December 31, 2001.

                                                                              22



Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company's primary sources of funds are deposits, borrowings and proceeds
from the principal and interest payments on loans and securities. While
maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities are predictable
sources of funds, deposit flows, prepayment of mortgage loans and
mortgage-backed securities are greatly influenced by general interest rates,
economic conditions and competition.

Another source of funding for the Holding Company is dividend payments from the
Bank. Dividends paid by the Bank have primarily been used to fund common stock
repurchases, pay dividends on the Company's common stock and to repay
borrowings. The Bank's ability to pay dividends to the Holding Company is
generally limited by New York State banking law and regulations and the
regulations of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Office of
Thrift Supervision. For the year ended December 31, 2002, the Bank paid $7.2
million of dividends to the Holding Company.

As of December 31, 2002, the Company has issued $190.0 million in unsecured
senior notes. Of such notes, $75.0 million are at a rate of 7.50%, which were
issued at par, and have a maturity date of December 1, 2008; $115.0 million of
such notes are at a rate of 5.75%, which were issued at a price of 99.785%, and
have a maturity date of November 15, 2007. The proceeds from the issuance of the
senior notes were used for general corporate purposes, including, among other
things, the repurchase of the Company's common stock and the repayment of
borrowed funds. In addition, the Company currently has the ability to issue an
additional $10.0 million in debt and other types of securities, with rates and
terms to be determined, pursuant to the Company's $200.0 million shelf
registration filed with the SEC during 2001.

On March 20, 2002 the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary RPT I, issued
$63.0 million in floating rate Capital Securities. Such securities bear interest
at 6-month LIBOR plus 360 basis points and are due April 1, 2032. At December
31, 2002, the distribution rate was 5.36%. The proceeds from the issuance of the
Capital Securities were used for general corporate purposes, including, among
other things, the repurchase of the Company's common stock and the repayment of
borrowed funds. The issuance costs, totaling $850,000, associated with the
Capital Securities issuance have been capitalized and are being amortized over
the life of the security.

The primary investing activities of the Company are the origination of mortgage
and construction loans and the purchase of mortgage-backed, mortgage related,
debt and equity securities. During the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001,
the Bank originated $147.3 million and $85.0 million, respectively, of one- to
four-family mortgage loans. During the year ended December 31, 2002, the Bank
originated $731.2 million of construction, multi-family and commercial real
estate loans, as compared to $527.4 million in the comparable 2001 period. This
increase reflects management's decision to de-emphasize its reliance on one- to
four-family lending and capitalize on its higher margin lending operations.
Purchases of securities available-for-sale totaled $9.26 billion and $4.87
billion during the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.
Purchases of held-to-maturity securities for 2002 totaled $371.5 million. In
addition to the aforementioned investing activities, the Company, during 2002,
invested $25.0 million in a joint venture with The Holiday Organization of
Westbury, New York, for the development of a 177 unit residential community in
Mt. Sinai, New York.

In early 2001 the Bank entered into a private label program for the origination
of one- to four-family loans through its existing branch network under a
mortgage origination assistance agreement with a third party mortgage
originator. Under this program, the Bank utilizes the third party's mortgage
loan origination platforms (including, among others, telephone and internet
platforms) to originate loans, based on defined underwriting criteria and in
accordance with Federal National Mortgage Association guidelines, that close in
the Bank's name and utilize the Bank's licensing. The Bank funds such loans
directly, and, under a separate loan and servicing rights purchase and sale
agreement with the same third party, has the option to retain the loans in its
portfolio, sell the loans to third party investors or sell the loans to the same
third party at agreed upon pricing.

                                                                              23



The Bank intends to enter into a private label agreement, during the second
quarter of 2003, with a nationally recognized third party for the purpose of
originating lines of credit and fixed-rate second mortgages. The loans will be
underwritten in accordance with the Bank's underwriting guidelines for these
products. The loans may be sold to the originator under a separate purchase and
sale agreement at a predetermined price, or the Bank may elect to retain the
originated loans for its own portfolio. Additionally, the loans originated under
this program will be serviced by a third party servicer.

The Company closely monitors its liquidity position on a daily basis. Excess
short-term liquidity is invested in overnight federal funds sold. In the event
that the Company should require funds beyond its ability to generate them
internally, additional sources of funds are available through the use of
reverse-repurchase agreements, FHLB advances and other borrowing facilities. At
December 31, 2002, the Company had $4.52 billion in borrowed funds outstanding,
as compared to $3.52 billion at December 31, 2001.

At December 31, 2002, the Company had outstanding loan commitments, including
standby letters of credit, to advance $448.8 million, primarily for commercial
real estate and construction loans. Management anticipates that it will have
sufficient funds available to meet its current loan commitments.

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into commitments to
purchase securities. As of December 31, 2002, the Company had $809.3 million in
commitments to purchase mortgage-backed securities.

Certificates of deposit that are scheduled to mature in one year or less at
December 31, 2002 totaled $1.78 billion. Based upon prior experience, and the
Company's current pricing strategy, management believes that a significant
portion of such deposits will remain with the Company.

The Company's most liquid assets are cash and cash equivalents, money market
investments, short-term securities and securities available-for-sale. The levels
of these assets are dependent on the Company's operating, financing, lending and
investment activities during any given period. At December 31, 2002 and 2001,
the Company had $171.0 million and $102.8 million, respectively, in cash and
cash equivalents and money market investments. Included in money market
investments were $10.5 million of short-term repurchase agreements at December
31, 2002. The Company had no such agreements outstanding at December 31, 2001.

During the year ended December 31, 2002, the Company repurchased 6,363,474
shares of its common stock at an aggregate cost of $120.6 million. As of
December 31, 2002, the Company had repurchased 8.6 million of the 8.9 million
shares authorized in the Company's eighth stock repurchase program. During the
fourth quarter of 2002, the Company announced its ninth stock repurchase plan,
which authorizes the purchase of 4.0 million shares of the Company's common
stock. Future purchases will be made from time to time, in light of market
conditions, at the discretion of management.

During the year ended December 31, 2002, the Company declared quarterly cash
dividends totaling $41.9 million, or $0.53 per common share. On February 28,
2003, the Company declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.15 per common share.
The dividend was payable on March 20, 2003 to shareholders of record on March
10, 2003.

Tangible stockholders' equity (stockholders' equity less certain intangible
assets) totaled $575.7 million at December 31, 2002, as compared to $568.0
million at December 31, 2001. This increase reflects the change in the Company's
stockholders' equity noted in the Comparison of Financial Condition section of
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations. Tangible equity is a critical measure of a company's ability to
repurchase stock, pay dividends and support greater asset and franchise growth.
The Company is subject to various capital requirements, which affect its
classification for regulatory purposes, as well as for deposit insurance
purposes. These requirements utilize tangible equity as a base component, not
equity, as defined by GAAP. Although reported earnings and return on equity are
traditional measures of a company's performance, management believes that the
growth in tangible equity, or "cash earnings," is also a significant measure of
a company's performance. Cash earnings represent the amount by which tangible
equity

                                                                              24



changes each period due to operating results. Cash earnings include reported
earnings plus the non-cash charges related to the amortization for the
allocation of Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) and SBIP stock, as well as
the amortization of intangible assets. These items have either been previously
charged to equity, as in the case of ESOP and SBIP charges through contra-equity
accounts, or do not affect tangible equity, such as the market appreciation of
allocated ESOP shares, for which the operating charge is offset by a credit to
additional paid-in-capital, and intangible asset amortization for which the
related intangible asset has already been deducted in the calculation of
tangible equity.

Management believes that cash earnings and cash returns on average stockholders'
equity and average assets reflect the Company's ability to generate tangible
capital that can be leveraged for future growth. Cash earnings and cash returns
on average stockholders' equity and average assets are non-GAAP measures, which
the Company believes are useful to investors in order to gain an understanding
of the trends and the results of operations for the Company's core business.
These non-GAAP measures should be viewed in addition to the Company's GAAP
results and not in lieu of such GAAP results. For the year ended December 31,
2002, cash earnings totaled $155.8 million, or $9.4 million higher than reported
earnings, and generated a cash return on average stockholders' equity of 26.84%
and a cash return on average assets of 1.56%.

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices

The Company's consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with GAAP, which requires 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 due to inflation. The impact of
inflation is reflected in the increased cost of the Company's operations. Unlike
industrial companies, nearly all of the assets and liabilities of the Company
are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates generally have a greater
impact on the Company's performance than do the effects of inflation. Interest
rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or to the same extent as the
price of goods and services.

                              ROSLYN BANCORP, INC.
                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(1)    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Related Matters
       --------------------------------------------------------------

Roslyn Bancorp, Inc. (on a stand alone basis, the Holding Company) was organized
under Delaware law as the savings and loan holding company for The Roslyn
Savings Bank and its subsidiaries (collectively, the Bank) in connection with
the Bank's conversion from a New York State chartered mutual savings bank to a
New York State chartered stock savings bank on January 10, 1997 (the
Conversion). The following is a summary of significant accounting policies of
Roslyn Bancorp, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the
Company). The Company's business consists primarily of the business activities
of the Bank, which activities include attracting deposits from the general
public, originating real property loans (residential mortgage, construction,
commercial and multi-family property loans) and consumer loans and selling
various financial products. Deposits at the Bank are insured up to applicable
limits by the Bank Insurance Fund (BIF) of the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation (FDIC). The Bank is subject to comprehensive regulation, examination
and supervision by the New York State Banking Department (NYSBD) and the FDIC.

   (a) Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Financial Statement Presentation
       -------------------------------------------------------------------------

   The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with
   accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
   (GAAP) and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned
   subsidiaries. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have
   been eliminated in consolidation. When necessary, certain reclassifications
   have been made to prior year amounts to conform to the current year
   presentation.

   In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to
   make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
   liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and
   disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and results of operations for
   the periods then ended. Actual results could differ from those estimates and
   assumptions. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to change
   in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan
   losses, benefit plan expenses and provision for income taxes.

   (b) Cash and Cash Equivalents and Money Market Investments
       ------------------------------------------------------

   For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash
   on hand, amounts due from banks and money market investments, which includes
   federal funds sold and short-term repurchase agreements and are generally
   sold for one- to three-day periods. The Company is required to maintain
   reserves in accordance with the monetary policy of the Federal Reserve
   System. Such requirement requires the Company to hold reserves in the form of
   vault cash, in addition to deposits with the Federal Reserve Bank. As of
   December 31, 2002, the Company was in compliance with this requirement.

   (c) Debt, Equity, Mortgage-Backed and Mortgage Related Securities
       -------------------------------------------------------------

   The Company classifies debt, readily-marketable equity, mortgage-backed and
   mortgage related securities in one of the following categories: (1)
   "held-to-maturity" (management has a positive intent and ability to hold to
   maturity) which are to be reported at amortized cost; (2) "trading" (held for
   current resale) which are to be reported at fair value, with unrealized gains
   and losses included in earnings; and (3) "available-for-sale" (all other
   debt, equity, mortgage-backed and mortgage related securities) which are to
   be reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses reported, net of
   tax, as accumulated other comprehensive income or loss, a separate component
   of stockholders' equity. The Company determines the appropriate
   classification of each security at the time of purchase.

                                                                              31



   Premiums and discounts on debt, mortgage-backed and mortgage related
   securities are amortized to expense and accreted to income over the estimated
   life of the respective security using the interest method. Premiums paid on
   certain callable preferred stock are amortized against income over the period
   to the call date. Gains and losses on the sales of securities are recognized
   on realization. Realized gains and losses on sales of securities are computed
   using the specific identification method. The Company conducts a periodic
   review and evaluation of the securities portfolio to determine if the value
   of any security has declined below its carrying value and whether such
   decline is other than temporary.

   (d)   Loans Receivable and Loans Held-for-Sale
         ----------------------------------------

   Loans receivable are stated at unpaid principal balances, including negative
   escrow, less unearned discounts, deferred mortgage interest and net deferred
   loan origination fees. Purchased loans are recorded at cost. Related premiums
   or discounts on mortgage and other loans purchased are amortized to expense
   or accreted to income using the interest method over the estimated life of
   the loans. The Company defers certain loan origination and commitment fees,
   net of certain origination costs, and amortizes them as an adjustment of the
   loan yield over the term of the related loan using the interest method. When
   a loan is sold or repays, the remaining net unamortized fee is taken into
   income.

   Loans held-for-sale are carried at the aggregate lower of cost or market
   value as determined by outstanding commitments from investors or current
   investor yield requirements calculated on an aggregate loan basis.

   Income from mortgage banking operations during the year ended December 31,
   2000 was related to the company's mortgage banking subsidiary, Roslyn
   National Mortgage Corporation (RNMC) and was comprised of the gains or losses
   generated from the sale of mortgage loans by RNMC into the secondary market,
   including all fees and mortgage servicing rights related thereto. Due to the
   divestiture of RNMC, in late 2000, no income from mortgage banking operations
   was recorded during the years ended December 31, 2002 or 2001.

   A substantial portion of the Company's loans are secured by real estate in
   the New York Metropolitan area. Accordingly, the ultimate collectibility of
   such a loan portfolio is susceptible to changes in market conditions in the
   New York Metropolitan area.

   (e)   Allowance for Loan Losses
         -------------------------

   The allowance for loan losses is based on a periodic analysis of the loan
   portfolio and reflects an amount that, in management's judgment, is adequate
   to provide for loan losses in the existing portfolio. In evaluating the
   portfolio, management takes into consideration numerous factors such as the
   Company's loan growth, prior loss experience, present and potential risks of
   the loan portfolio, risk ratings assigned by lending personnel, ratings
   assigned by the independent loan review function, present financial condition
   of borrower, current economic conditions and other portfolio risk
   characteristics. Provisions for loan losses are charged to operations. Loans,
   including impaired loans, are charged-off against the allowance for loan
   losses when the collectibility of loan principal is unlikely. Recoveries of
   loans previously charged-off are credited to the allowance for loan losses.

   Management believes that the allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2002
   is adequate. In connection with the determination of the allowance for loan
   losses, management generally obtains independent appraisals for significant
   properties. While management uses available information to determine losses
   on loans, future additions to the allowance may be necessary based on
   unanticipated changes in economic conditions, particularly in the New York
   Metropolitan area. In addition, the NYSBD and the FDIC, as part of their
   examination processes, periodically review the Bank's allowance for loan
   losses. Such agencies may require the Bank to recognize additions to the
   allowance based on their judgments about information available to them at the
   time of their examination.

   The Company considers a loan impaired when, based upon current information
   and events, it is probable that it will be unable to collect all amounts due
   for both principal and interest, according to the contractual terms of

                                                                              32



   the loan agreement. Loans individually reviewed for impairment by the Company
   are limited to loans modified in a troubled debt restructuring (TDR) and
   commercial and multi-family first mortgage loans. The smaller-balance
   homogeneous loans that are collectively evaluated for impairment by the
   Company include one- to four-family first mortgage loans, student loans and
   consumer loans, other than those modified in a TDR. The measurement value of
   the Company's impaired loans is based on the fair value of the underlying
   collateral. The Company identifies and measures impaired loans in conjunction
   with its review of the adequacy of its allowance for loan losses. Specific
   factors utilized in the identification of impaired loans include, but are not
   limited to, delinquency status, loan-to-value ratio, the condition of the
   underlying collateral, credit history and debt coverage.

   It is the Bank's policy generally to discontinue accruing interest on all
   loans which are more than 90 days past due with contractual terms, or when,
   in the opinion of management, such suspension is warranted. When a loan is
   placed on non-accrual status and/or is considered to be impaired, the Bank
   ceases the accrual of interest owed and previously accrued interest is
   charged against interest income. Loans generally are returned to accrual
   status when the loan delinquency status is less than 90 days past due and the
   Bank has reasonable assurance that the loan will be fully collectible.
   Uncollectible amounts are charged-off to the allowance for loan losses when
   all collection efforts have been exhausted.

   Cash receipts on non-accrual loans, including impaired loans, are generally
   applied to principal and interest in accordance with the contractual terms of
   the loan. If full payment of principal is not expected, the Company will
   either defer the recognition of interest until the loan performs according to
   its original terms or apply all of the principal and interest payments
   received as a reduction of the carrying value of the loan.

   (f)   Banking House and Equipment
         ---------------------------

   Land is carried at cost and banking houses are carried at cost, less
   accumulated depreciation. Depreciation on banking houses is computed on the
   straight-line method over a twenty-five- to fifty-year period. Leasehold
   improvements are stated at cost, less accumulated amortization. Amortization
   of leasehold improvements is computed on the straight-line method over the
   terms of the respective lease or the life of the improvement, whichever is
   shorter. Furniture, fixtures and equipment are stated at cost, less
   accumulated depreciation. Depreciation on furniture, fixture and equipment is
   computed on the straight-line method over the estimated service lives, which
   is generally a three- to ten-year period.

   (g)   Real Estate Owned
         -----------------

   Real estate owned (REO) properties acquired through foreclosure or
   deed-in-lieu of foreclosure are reported at the lower of cost or estimated
   fair value less estimated selling costs at the acquisition date. Cost
   represents the unpaid loan balance at the acquisition date plus expenses,
   when appropriate, incurred to bring the REO property to a salable condition.
   Any write-down of the recorded investment in a related loan is charged to the
   allowance for loan losses upon transfer of the property to REO. The Company
   will maintain an allowance, when necessary, for subsequent declines in an REO
   property's carrying value. Certain costs relating to holding such properties,
   and gains or losses resulting from the disposition of such properties, are
   recognized in the period they are incurred. At December 31, 2002 and 2001,
   the Company had $717,000 and $478,000 of real estate owned, respectively,
   which is included in other assets in the accompanying consolidated statements
   of financial condition.

   (h)   Intangible Assets
         -----------------

   The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No.
   142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," as of January 1, 2002. Goodwill
   and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized, but
   instead tested for impairment at least annually in accordance with the
   provision of SFAS No. 142. SFAS No. 142 also requires that intangible assets
   with estimable useful lives be amortized over their respective estimated
   useful lives to their estimated residual values and reviewed for impairment
   in accordance

                                                                              33



   with SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived
   Assets." Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 142 the Company amortized its
   intangible assets in accordance with Accounting Principles Board (APB)
   Opinion No. 17, "Intangible Assets," which required the amortization of
   intangible assets over their estimated useful life. The Company's
   intangible assets, which consist of deposit intangibles, under SFAS No.142,
   and previously under APB No. 17, are being fully amortized on straight-line
   basis over the estimated useful life of ten years. Pursuant to SFAS No. 142,
   as of January 1, 2002, the Company assesses intangible assets for impairment
   annually, or more frequently if circumstances indicate impairment may have
   occurred. During 2002, the Company determined that such intangible assets
   were not impaired.

   (i)   Income Taxes
         ------------

   Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred
   tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences
   attributable to differences between the consolidated financial statement
   carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax
   bases. To the extent that current available evidence about the future
   realization of the deferred tax assets raises doubt about the recorded
   amount, a valuation allowance must be established. Deferred tax assets and
   liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable
   income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be
   recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a
   change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the
   enactment date.

   (j)   Summary of Retirement Benefits
         ------------------------------

   The Company's retirement plan is non-contributory and covers substantially
   all eligible employees. The plan conforms to the provisions of the Employee
   Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA). The Company's
   policy is to accrue for all pension costs and to fund the maximum amount
   allowable for tax purposes. Actuarial gains and losses that arise from
   changes in assumptions concerning future events used in estimating pension
   costs are amortized over a period that reflects the long-range nature of
   pension expense. The Company accounts for post-retirement benefits whereby
   the cost of providing those benefits to an employee, and the employee's
   beneficiaries and covered dependents, are accrued during the years that the
   employee renders the necessary service.

                                                                              34



   (k)   Stock-Based Compensation
         ------------------------

   As allowed by SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," the
   Company adheres to the intrinsic-value-based method of APB Opinion No. 25,
   "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and related interpretations to
   account for stock options granted under the Company's Stock-Based Incentive
   Plans (SBIP). Under this method no compensation expense is recognized as all
   options granted under the SBIP had an exercise price equal to the market
   value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The Company
   adheres to the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123. The following table
   illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the fair value
   based method of SFAS No. 123 had been applied for the years ended December
   31, 2002, 2001 and 2000:

   The per share weighted average fair value (using the Black-Scholes option
   pricing model) of stock options granted during the years ended December 31,
   2002, 2001 and 2000, was $5.30, $6.29 and $4.41, respectively. The effects of
   applying SFAS No. 123, for either recognizing or disclosing compensation cost
   under such pronouncement, may not be representative of the effect on reported
   net income for future periods.

   Deferred compensation for SBIP awards of the Company's common stock is
   recorded as a reduction of stockholders' equity and represents the cost of
   the Company's common stock purchased by the Company and contributed to the
   SBIP. Compensation expense is recognized over the vesting period of stock
   awards based upon the fair value of the Company's common stock at the
   measurement date. The difference between the cost of the Company's common
   stock as compared to their fair value at the measurement date is treated as
   an adjustment to stockholders' equity.

   Compensation expense for the Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) is recorded
   at an amount equal to the number of shares of the Company's common stock
   allocated to the participants during each year multiplied by

                                                                              35



   the average fair market value of these shares during such year. The Company
   recognizes compensation expense ratably over the year based upon the
   estimated number of ESOP shares to be allocated each December 31/st/. The
   difference between the average fair market value and the cost of the shares
   allocated by the ESOP is recorded as an adjustment to additional
   paid-in-capital.

   (l)   Earnings Per Share (EPS)
         ------------------------

   Basic EPS is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by
   the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. The
   weighted average common shares outstanding includes the average number of
   shares of common stock outstanding adjusted for the weighted average number
   of unallocated shares held by the ESOP and SBIP. Diluted EPS reflects the
   potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue
   common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the
   issuance of common stock that then shares in the earnings of the Company.

   (m)   Treasury Stock
         --------------

   Common stock shares repurchased are recorded as treasury stock at cost.

   (n)   Segment Reporting
         -----------------

   In accordance with SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise
   and Related Information," the Company determined that all of its activities
   constitute only one reportable operating segment.

   (o)   New Accounting Pronouncements
         -----------------------------

   In December 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS
   No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and
   Disclosure, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123." SFAS No. 148 amends SFAS
   No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" to provide alternative
   methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method
   of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, SFAS No.
   148 amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 to require more
   prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements. Most
   provisions of SFAS No. 148, including transition amendments, are effective
   for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002, as such, certain of the
   disclosure modifications are included herein as Note 1(k) to the Notes to
   Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company is currently considering the
   adoption of fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee
   compensation of stock options. The potential impact to the Company of
   adopting such accounting can be seen in Note 1(k) of the Notes to
   Consolidated Financial Statements.

   In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45, "Guarantor's
   Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect
   Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others." Such Interpretation elaborates on the
   disclosures to be made by a guarantor about its obligations under certain
   guarantees issued. It also clarifies that a guarantor is required to
   recognize, at the inception of a guarantee, a liability for the fair value of
   the obligation undertaken in issuing the guarantee. The initial recognition
   and measurement provisions of this Interpretation apply to guarantees issued
   or modified after December 31, 2002. The Company will adopt these provisions
   on January 1, 2003. The disclosure provisions of this Interpretation are
   effective for financial statements with annual periods ending after December
   15, 2002. The Company has applied the disclosure provisions of this
   Interpretation as of December 31, 2002, as required. See Note 19 of the Notes
   to Consolidated Financial Statements.

   In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, "Rescission of FASB Statements
   No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical
   Corrections." The Statement updates, clarifies and simplifies existing
   accounting pronouncements. SFAS No. 145 rescinds SFAS No. 4, "Reporting Gains
   and Losses from Extinguishment of Debt," which required all gains and losses
   from extinguishment of debt to be aggregated and, if material, classified as
   an extraordinary item, net of related income tax effect. The provisions

                                                                              36



   of SFAS No. 145 are effective for fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002.
   As encouraged by this pronouncement, the Company adopted the provisions of
   SFAS No. 145 related to the treatment of debt extinguishments as of October
   1, 2002. Accordingly, the penalty resulting from the early extinguishment of
   repurchase agreements for the year ended December 31, 2002 in the amount of
   $7.3 million is recorded as a component of non-interest expense. Similar
   penalties of $8.3 million ($5.0 million, net of tax) that were recorded as an
   extraordinary item during the year ended December 31, 2001 have been
   reclassified as components of non-interest expense and provision for income
   taxes. There will be no material impact on the Company's consolidated
   statements of financial condition or consolidated statements of income upon
   adoption of the remaining provisions of SFAS No. 145.

   In October 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment
   or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," which replaced SFAS No. 121, "Accounting
   for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be
   Disposed Of." SFAS No. 144 established a single accounting model, based on
   the framework established in SFAS No. 121, for long-lived assets to be
   disposed of by sale. The provisions of SFAS No. 144 were effective for
   financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
   2001. There was no impact on the Company's consolidated statements of
   financial condition or consolidated statements of income upon adoption of
   SFAS No. 144 on January 1, 2002.

   (2)   Acquisition of T R Financial Corp.
         ----------------------------------

   On February 16, 1999, a merger between T R Financial Corp., a Delaware
   company, and the Company was completed with the Company as the surviving
   corporation (the Merger). The transaction was treated as a tax-free
   reorganization and accounted for using the pooling-of-interests method of
   accounting, and accordingly, all historical financial information for the
   Company has been restated to include T R Financial Corp.'s historical
   information for the earliest period presented.

   A pre-tax charge of $89.2 million of merger related costs associated with the
   acquisition of T R Financial Corp. was recorded during the year ended
   December 31, 1999. At December 31, 2002, $32,000 of such costs, which relate
   to certain employment benefits, remains in other liabilities in the
   accompanying consolidated statements of financial condition.

   (3)   Restructuring Charge
         --------------------

   On August 28, 2000, the Company announced strategic initiatives and plans to
   discontinue the residential mortgage banking business through the divestiture
   of its mortgage banking subsidiary, RNMC. In connection with this strategy,
   the Bank sold a substantial part of the residential origination capabilities
   of RNMC to a third party mortgage company during the fourth quarter of 2000.
   Substantially all of RNMC's remaining residential loan production operations
   were divested during the fourth quarter of 2000.

   The divestiture of RNMC included, among other things, the termination of
   employees, disposal of the net assets of the Company and the cancellation of
   various contracts. The Company recognized as liabilities only those items
   that qualify for recognition under the consensus reached in Issue No. 94-3 by
   the Emerging Issues Task Force, "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee
   Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit An Activity (including Certain
   Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)."

   The Company recorded all direct costs related to the RNMC divestiture as
   liabilities and the total pre-tax charge of $12.0 million was classified as a
   restructuring charge in the Company's consolidated statement of income for
   the year ended December 31, 2000. As of December 31, 2001 the Company had no
   remaining unpaid accrued restructuring charge balance related to the RNMC
   divestiture.

                                                                              37

(6) Allowance for Loan Losses

Impaired loans and related allowances for loan losses are identified and
calculated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 114, "Accounting by
Creditors for Impairment of a Loan- an amendment of FASB Statements No. 5 and
15." The remainder of the allowance for loan losses is determined in accordance
with the provisions of SFAS No. 5, "Accounting for Contingencies." As such, the
Company has provided amounts that exceed the immediately identified losses
associated with loans that have been deemed impaired. Provisions have been made
and established accordingly, based upon experience and expectations, for losses
associated with the general population of loans, specific industry and loan
types, including residential and consumer loans which are not generally subject
to the provisions of SFAS No. 114.

The following is a summary of the activity in the allowance for loan losses
account for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000:

million at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

The FDIC insures deposits of account holders up to $100,000 per insured
depositor. To provide for this insurance, the Company must pay a risk-based
annual assessment, which considers the financial soundness of the institution
and its capitalization level (see Note 20). At December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000,
the Company was assessed at the FDIC's lowest assessment level, as a "well
capitalized" institution. For the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000,
the Company paid $881,000, $840,000 and $952,000, respectively, in FDIC
insurance premiums.

Interest expense on deposit balances for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001

From time to time, the Company enters into sales of securities under agreements
to repurchase (reverse-repurchase agreements). Fixed-coupon reverse-repurchase
agreements are treated as financing transactions since the Company maintains
effective control over the transferred securities and the obligations to
repurchase are reflected as a liability in the consolidated statements of
financial condition. The dollar amount of securities underlying the agreements
remains in the asset account. The securities underlying the agreements are
delivered to the dealer with whom each transaction is executed. The dealers, who
may sell, loan or otherwise dispose of such securities to other parties in the
normal course of their business, agree to resell to the Company the same
securities at the maturities of the agreements. The Company retains the right to
substitute alternate collateral throughout the terms of the agreements.

                                                                              45



   At December 31, 2002, all outstanding reverse-repurchase agreements had
   original contractual maturities ranging from nineteen days to 15 years. The
   following table summarizes the carrying and market value of collateral,
   including accrued interest thereon, as they relate to the outstanding

At December 31, 2002, of the $2.95 billion of reverse-repurchase agreements
held, $1.72 billion are callable in 2003, $600.0 million are callable in 2004.
Accrued interest payable on reverse-repurchase agreements at December 31, 2002
and 2001 was $13.8 million and $11.0 million, respectively.

During 2002 and 2001 the Company prepaid $286.7 million and $258.9 million,
respectively, of reverse-repurchase agreements with a weighted average rate of
4.85% and 6.44%, respectively. As a result, for the years ended December 31,
2002 and 2001, the Company incurred a prepayment penalty of $7.3 million ($4.4
million, net of tax) and $8.3 million ($5.0 million, net of tax), respectively.

On November 13, 2002 the Company issued $115.0 million of 5.75% unsecured senior
notes at a price of 99.785%. The notes have a maturity date of November 15,
2007. Interest on such notes is paid semi-annually on May 15 and November 15 of
each year, beginning May 15, 2003. On November 21, 2001, the Company had
previously issued $75.0 million of 7.50% unsecured senior notes at par and a
maturity date of December 1, 2008. Interest on such notes is paid semi-annually
on June 1 and December 1 of each year, beginning June 1, 2002. In connection
with these unsecured senior note offerings the Company capitalized a total of
$3.1 million of debt issuance costs to be amortized on a straight-line basis,
generally over the life of the borrowing. For the years ended December 31, 2002
and 2001, $344,000, and $33,000, respectively, of debt issuance costs have been
amortized and are reflected as interest expense on borrowings in the
accompanying consolidated statements of income. Accrued interest payable on
senior notes at December 31, 2002 and 2001 was $1.4 million and $625,000,
respectively.

Other borrowings in the accompanying consolidated statements of financial
condition are comprised of FHLB advances. At December 31, 2002 and 2001, all
outstanding FHLB advances had original contractual maturities ranging from five
to 22 years and from seven days to 30 years, respectively. The Bank maintained,
during the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, a $100.0 million overnight
line of credit with the FHLB. At December 31, 2002 and 2001, there were no
borrowings drawn under this line. In addition, the Bank, during the years ended
December 31, 2002 and 2001, had access to funds through a $50.0 million
one-month facility from the FHLB. At December 31, 2002 and 2001 there were no
borrowings outstanding under this facility. FHLB advances and FHLB overnight
line of credit borrowings are secured by a pledge of certain eligible
collateral, one- to four-family mortgage loans and/or mortgage-backed
securities, in an amount equal to 110% of outstanding advances. Accrued interest
payable on FHLB advances at December 31, 2002 and 2001 was $9.2 million and
$10.3 million, respectively.

                                                                              47

(12) Guaranteed Preferred Beneficial Interest in Junior Subordinated Debentures

On March 20, 2002 Roslyn Preferred Trust I (RPT I), a Delaware statutory
business trust and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, issued $63.0
million aggregate liquidation amount of floating rate guaranteed preferred
beneficial interests in Junior Subordinated Debentures (the Capital Securities)
due April 1, 2032, at a distribution rate equal to the 6-month LIBOR plus 360
basis points, resetting on a semi-annual basis. The maximum distribution rate on
the Capital Securities is 12.0% through April 1, 2007, with no maximum
thereafter. The Company may redeem the Capital Securities, in whole or in part,
at any time on or after April 1, 2007. At December 31, 2002 the distribution
rate was 5.36%. Distributions on the Capital Securities are payable
semi-annually on April 1 and October 1 of each year, which began on October 1,
2002, and are reported in the accompanying consolidated statements of income as
a component of non-interest expense under the caption "Capital trust
securities."

The Holding Company made an initial capital contribution of $1.9 million to RPT
I in exchange for all of its common securities. RPT I was formed for the
exclusive purpose of issuing the Capital Securities and using the proceeds to
acquire $64.9 million in Junior Subordinated Debentures due April 1, 2032 issued
by the Holding Company. The Company has fully and unconditionally guaranteed the
Capital Securities along with all obligations of RPT I related thereto.

The costs associated with the Capital Securities issuance totaled $850,000 and
have been capitalized and are being amortized over the life of the securities.
The amortization expense relating to such capitalized costs was $22,000 for the
year ended December 31, 2002.

(13) Stockholders' Equity

The Bank established a liquidation account, as of the date of Conversion, in the
amount of $222.2 million, equal to its retained earnings as of the date of the
latest consolidated statement of financial condition appearing in the final
prospectus. The liquidation account is maintained for the benefit of eligible
pre-Conversion account holders who continue to maintain their accounts at the
Bank after the date of Conversion. The liquidation account will be reduced
annually to the extent that eligible account holders have reduced their
qualifying deposits as of each anniversary date. Subsequent increases in account
balances will not restore an eligible account holder's interest in the
liquidation account. As of December 31, 2002, the balance in the liquidation
account was $24.6 million, which includes the eligible account holders' interest
from T R Financial Corp.'s initial public offering on June 29, 1993. In the
event of a complete liquidation, each eligible account holder will be entitled,
under New York State Law, to receive a distribution from the liquidation account
in an amount equal to their current adjusted account balances relative to such
balances for all such depositors then holding qualifying deposits in the Bank.

Subsequent to the Conversion, the Bank (including T R Financial Corp.'s
conversion on June 29, 1993) may not declare or pay cash dividends on or
repurchase any of its shares of common stock if the effect thereof would cause
stockholders' equity to be reduced below applicable regulatory capital
maintenance requirements or if such declaration and payment would otherwise
violate regulatory requirements or would reduce the Bank's capital level below
the then aggregate balance required for the liquidation account. The Company,
unlike the Bank, is not subject to the same restrictions regarding the
declaration or payment of dividends to its shareholders, although the source of

                                                                              48



the Company's dividends may depend upon the Bank's ability to pay dividends. The
Company, however is subject to the requirements of Delaware law, which generally
limit dividends to an amount equal to the excess of its net assets over its
stated capital or, if there is no such excess, to its net profits for the
current and/or immediately preceding fiscal year.

In 2000, the Company adopted a stockholder rights plan and declared a dividend
of one preferred share purchase right (Right) for each outstanding share of
common stock of the Company. Each Right, which adheres to each share of
outstanding common stock of the Company, entitles a stockholder to buy a one
one-thousandth interest in a share of a new series of preferred stock of the
Company at an exercise price of $75.00 per share if the Company determines that
certain events have occurred. The Rights are designed to ensure that all of the
stockholders of the Company receive fair and equal treatment in the event of any
proposed takeover of the Company and to guard against partial tender offers,
squeeze-outs and other abusive tactics to gain control of the Company without
paying all stockholders a fair price. The Rights will expire ten years after the
distribution date on October 10, 2010. The distribution of the Rights is not
taxable to stockholders.

(14) Income Taxes

Total provision for income taxes differed from the amounts computed by applying
the U.S. federal income tax rate of 35% to income before provision for income
taxes for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000 as a result of the

At December 31, 2002, management believed that it is more likely than not that
the consolidated results of future operations of the Company will generate
sufficient taxable income to realize the deferred tax assets of the Company.
Therefore, a valuation allowance against the gross deferred tax assets is not
considered necessary.

The Federal tax law was changed to eliminate the reserve method for calculating
a bad debt deduction for tax years beginning after 1995. The Bank can continue
to compute its New York State and New York City bad debt deduction using the
reserve method (either the experience method (based on actual loss experience)
or the percentage of taxable income method (32% of taxable income computed
without regard to this deduction and with additional modifications and subject
to an overall limitation)). The Bank's retained earnings at December 31, 2002
and December 31, 2001, included federal bad debt reserves of approximately $17.8
million, for which no federal income tax liability has been recognized,
approximately $117.7 million and $88.8 million, respectively, for which no New
York State income tax liability has been recognized and approximately $113.5
million and $84.2 million, respectively, for which no New York City income tax
liability has been recognized. These amounts are subject to recapture if the
Bank either makes distributions in excess of earnings and profits; redeems its
common stock; or no longer qualifies as a banking institution. In addition, the
New York State and New York City bad debt reserve are subject to recapture if
the Bank fails to meet certain definitional tests. The Bank does not expect such
reserves to be recaptured into taxable income.

                                                                              50



(15) Employee Benefit Plans

Pension Plan -The Bank's non-contributory pension plan with the RSI Retirement
Trust covers substantially all full-time employees. The following table provides
details of the changes in the actuarial present value of the benefit obligation
and fair value of plan assets for the non-contributory plan for each of the
years shown and a reconciliation, at the end of each year shown, of the funded
status of the non-contributory plan with the net amount recognized in the
consolidated statement of financial condition. The Bank uses a measurement date
of September 30 for plan accounting purposes and, accordingly changes in benefit
obligations and plan assets are shown for the twelve-month periods ended
September 30, 2002 and 2001.

The assumptions used by the Company, as of each measurement date, relating to
the plan during the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000 were as
follows:



                                                    2002           2001          2000

     Assumed rate of return on assets                   9.00%        10.25%         9.50%

     Assumed rate of compensation increase              4.00%         4.00%         5.50%

     Assumed discount rate                              6.75%         7.50%         8.00%


Supplemental Plan - Pursuant to the Merger in 1999, the Company assumed a
non-qualified Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (SERP) for certain former
executives of T R Financial Corp. The actuarial present value of the accumulated
benefit obligation at December 31, 2002 and 2001 was $513,000 and $2.0 million,
respectively. At December 31, 2002 and 2001, the non-qualified SERP maintains
$477,000 and $1.7 million, respectively, of trust held assets. In addition to
the trust held assets at December 31, 2002 and 2001 the non-qualified SERP also
holds $6.0 million and $4.5 million of the Company's common stock, respectively,
at cost. This represents 548,800 shares and 553,080 shares of the Company's
shares of common stock at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively, the cost of
which is reflected as contra-equity in the accompanying consolidated statements
of financial condition. Included in the employee benefit expense for the years
ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000 was $211,000, $219,000 and $243,000,
respectively, related to this obligation.

401(k) Plan - The Bank has a defined contribution and thrift savings plan
(401(k) Plan) under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. All regular,
full-time employees are eligible for voluntary participation after one or more
years of continuous service. The 401(k) Plan is effectuated through a trust
established by the Bank. Commencing on January 10, 1997, the Bank makes matching
contributions, of up to 6% of certain participants' eligible compensation, in
the form of ESOP stock. Cash contributions under the 401(k) plan fully ceased,
concurrent with the 2000 divestiture of RNMC. During the year ended December 31,
2000, the Bank made cash contributions of $108,000.

Employee Stock Ownership Plan - The Bank maintains an ESOP which is a tax
qualified retirement plan designed to invest primarily in the Company's common
stock. All full-time employees of the Company who have completed one year of
service with the Bank are eligible to participate in the ESOP. The ESOP borrowed
funds from the Company to purchase approximately 8%, or 5,237,096 shares, of the
Company's common stock. The Company makes contributions to the ESOP sufficient
to cover all payments of principal and interest as they become due. For the
years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, the Company made contributions of
$1.3 million, $3.3 million and $3.0 million, respectively, to the ESOP. The ESOP
utilized the contributions, along with the dividends received on the unallocated
ESOP shares, which totaled $2.3 million, $2.1 million and $1.4 million, to repay
$1.0 million, $513,000 and $552,000 of principal and $2.6 million, $4.9 million
and $4.4 million of interest on the loan during the years ended December 31
2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. At December 31, 2002 and 2001, the loan had
an outstanding balance of $50.2 million and $51.2 million, respectively. The
interest rate on the loan for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 was
5.00% and 9.50%, respectively.

The remaining unallocated shares purchased with the ESOP loan proceeds are held
in a suspense account by the trustee of the plan for future allocation among
participants as the loan is repaid. Contributions to the ESOP and shares
released from the suspense account are allocated among participants on the basis
of compensation as described in the ESOP. The number of shares released to
participants is determined based upon the percentage of principal and interest
payments made during the year divided by the total remaining principal and
interest payments including the current year's payment. Participants will vest
in the shares allocated to their respective accounts over a period not to exceed
five years. Any forfeited shares are allocated to the then remaining
participants in the same proportion as contributions. As of December 31, 2002,
2001 and 2000, 1,123,866 shares, 952,481 shares and 781,096 shares,
respectively, have been allocated to participants and 4,113,229 shares,
4,284,614 shares and 4,455,999 shares, respectively remained unallocated.
Included in the shares allocated to participants during the years ended December
31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, were approximately 43,000 shares, 45,000 shares and
55,500 shares, respectively, allocated

                                                                              52



utilizing the matching contribution formula under the 401(k) Plan. For the years
ended December 31, 2002, 2001, and 2000, the Company recognized $3.4 million,
$3.0 million and $2.2 million, respectively, as compensation expense. At
December 31, 2002, the fair value of the unallocated ESOP shares totaled $74.2
million.

Stock-Based Incentive Plans - In prior years, the Company received shareholder
approval for the granting of options to purchase the Company's common stock and
option-related awards (collectively, Options) and awards of the Company's common
stock (Restricted Stock Awards, and, together with Options, Awards) under The
Roslyn Bancorp, Inc. 2001 Stock-Based Incentive Plan (the 2001 Incentive Plan)
and The Roslyn Bancorp, Inc. 1997 Stock-Based Incentive Plan (the 1997 Incentive
Plan, and, together with the 2001 Incentive Plan, the Incentive Plans). All
officers, other employees and outside directors of the Company and its
affiliates, including the Bank and its subsidiaries, are eligible to receive
Awards under the Incentive Plans.

The Incentive Plans are administered by a committee of non-employee directors of
the Company. Authorized but unissued shares, or shares previously issued and
reacquired by the Company, may be used to satisfy Awards under either of the
Incentive Plans. Options granted under the Incentive Plans must be exercised no
more than ten years from the date of grant. Options may become fully exercisable
and Restricted Stock Awards may become fully vested upon the occurrence of a
change in control of the Company, or upon death, disability or retirement of the
recipient.

Subject to certain adjustments to prevent dilution of Awards to participants,
the 2001 Incentive Plan authorized the Company to grant Awards of up to
3,750,000 shares. The maximum number of shares reserved for grants of Restricted
Stock Awards is 750,000 shares, and maximum number of shares that may be granted
as Options is 3,000,000 shares, plus any or all of the remaining 750,000 shares
that are not used for Restricted Stock Awards.

Subject to certain adjustments to prevent dilution of Awards to participants,
the 1997 Incentive Plan authorized the Company to grant Awards of up to
9,162,666 shares. The maximum number of shares that may be granted as Restricted
Stock Awards is 2,616,297 shares, and the maximum number of the shares that may
be granted as Options is 6,546,369 shares.

The Company contributed $181,000 and $265,000 during the years ended December
31, 2002 and 2001, respectively, to the 2001 Incentive Plan to enable the plan
to purchase 10,000 shares and 15,000 shares, respectively, of the Company's
common stock to be awarded.

During the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, the Company granted, under
the Incentive Plans, Restricted Stock Awards in amounts equal to 30,734 shares
and 15,000 shares, respectively, of the Company's common stock. These Restricted
Stock Awards included 22,500 shares and 15,000 shares that immediately vested.
The remaining Restricted Stock Awards issued during the year ended December 31,
2002 vest over a one-to four-year period. The prices at which these Awards were
granted ranged from $16.79 to $20.36 per share for the year ended December 31,
2002 and were $17.68 per share for the year ended December 31, 2001.

During the year ended December 31, 2002, plan participants in the Incentive
Plans vested in 504,155 shares, and forfeited 12,851 shares, under previous
Restricted Stock Awards, which included 11,241 shares that related to Awards
with vesting based on the achievement of certain defined performance targets.
For the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, compensation expense
attributable to Restricted Stock Awards under the Incentive Plans was $5.8
million, $6.3 million and $5.1 million, respectively.

The number of Options granted under the Incentive Plans totaled 507,860 shares
and 3,253,525 shares, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2002 and
2001, all of which will generally vest over a four-to five-year period. Options
granted under both the 2001 and 1997 Incentive Plans are either non-statutory or
incentive stock options. Each option entitles the holder to purchase one share
of the Company's common stock at an exercise price equal to the fair market
value on the date of grant. All options expire no later than ten years following
the date of grant. Option transactions for the years ended December 31, 2002,
2001 and 2000 are shown below:

For measurement purposes, the annual rate of increase in the per capita cost of
covered benefits (health care cost trend rates) will have a significant effect
on the estimate of the accumulated post-retirement benefit obligation and the
aggregate service and interest cost components of the net periodic
post-retirement benefit cost. Increasing the annual health care trend rates by
1.0% in each year would increase both the accumulated post-retirement benefit
obligation by $437,000 and the aggregated related service and interest cost by
$40,000 at December 31, 2002. A 1.0% decrease in the assumed health care trend
rates would decrease both the accumulated post-retirement benefit obligation by
$417,000 and the aggregate related service and interest cost by $38,000 at
December 31, 2002.

                                                                              55



(17) Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments
     -----------------------------------------------------

The Company, under SFAS No. 107, "Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial
Instruments," is required to disclose the fair value of its on- and off-balance
sheet financial instruments. A financial instrument is defined as cash, evidence
of an ownership interest in an entity or a contract that creates a contractual
obligation or right to deliver or receive cash or another financial instrument
from a second entity on potentially favorable or unfavorable terms. The fair
value of a financial instrument is defined as the amount at which the instrument
could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than
in a forced or liquidation sale.

The following table at December 31, 2002 and 2001 represents the carrying
amounts and estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments:

The carrying amounts in the table are included in the consolidated statements of
condition under the indicated captions. The following summarizes the major
methods and assumptions used in estimating the fair values of the financial
instruments:

Cash and cash equivalents and money market investments - The carrying amounts
- ------------------------------------------------------
for cash and cash equivalents and money market investments approximate fair
value as they mature in 30 days or less and do not present unanticipated credit
concerns.

Securities - The fair values of debt, equity, mortgage-backed and mortgage
- ----------
related securities are estimated based on bid quotations received from security
dealers or from prices obtained from firms specializing in providing security
pricing services.

Federal Home Loan Bank of New York stock - The fair value of Federal Home Loan
- ----------------------------------------
Bank of New York stock approximates the carrying amount, which is at cost.

Loans held-for-sale - Fair value is estimated based on current prices
- -------------------
established for those loans committed to be sold based upon the prices
established in the applicable commitments.

                                                                              56



Loans receivable held for investment, net - Fair values are estimated for
- -----------------------------------------
portfolios of loans with similar financial characteristics. Loans are segregated
by type, such as commercial real estate and residential mortgage. Each loan
category is further segmented into fixed- and adjustable- rate interest terms
and by performing and non-performing categories. For performing residential
mortgage loans, fair values are estimated by discounting contractual cash flows
through the estimated maturity using discount rates and prepayment estimates
based on secondary market sources adjusted to reflect differences in servicing
and credit costs. The estimated fair value of remaining performing loans is
calculated by discounting scheduled cash flows using estimated market discount
rates that reflect the credit and interest rate risks inherent in the loan. Fair
values for non-performing real estate loans are based on recent appraisals.

Accrued interest receivable - The fair value of the accrued interest receivable
- ---------------------------
is estimated to be the book value since it is currently due.

Deposit liabilities - All deposits, except certificates of deposit, are subject
- -------------------
to rate changes at any time, and, therefore, are considered to be carried at
estimated fair value. The fair value of certificates of deposit is estimated by
computing the present value of contractual future cash flows for each
certificate. The present value rate utilized is the rate offered by the Company
at each date presented on certificates with an initial maturity equal to the
remaining term to maturity of the existing certificates.

Borrowed funds - The estimated fair value of borrowed funds is based on the
- --------------
discounted value of contractual cash flows using interest rates currently in
effect for borrowings with similar maturities and collateral requirements.

Accrued interest payable and dividends - The fair value of the accrued interest
- --------------------------------------
and dividends on deposit balances are estimated to be their book value since
they are currently payable.

Limitations - SFAS No. 107 requires disclosures of the estimated fair value of
- -----------
financial instruments. Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in
time, based on relevant market information about the financial instrument. These
estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering
a one-time sale of the Company's entire holdings of a particular financial
instrument nor the resultant tax ramifications or transaction costs. Since no
market exists for a significant portion of the Company's financial instruments,
fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding current economic
conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments, and other
factors. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and
matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with
precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

Fair value estimates are based on existing 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. For example, the Company conducts mortgage servicing
activities that contributed fee income annually. Mortgage servicing activities
are not considered financial instruments and as such their value has not been
incorporated into the fair value estimates. Other significant assets of the
Company that are not considered financial assets include banking house and
equipment and deferred tax assets. In addition, the tax ramifications related to
the unrealized gains and losses can have a significant effect on fair value
estimates and have not been considered.

Commitments - The fair value of commitments is estimated using the fees
- -----------
currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the
remaining terms of the agreements and the present creditworthiness of the
counterparties. For fixed-rate loan commitments and commitments to sell loans at
specified prices, fair value also considers the difference between current
levels of interest rates and the committed rates. The estimated fair value of
commitments did not result in an unrealized gain or loss at December 31, 2002
and 2001.

                                                                              57

Included in outstanding loan commitments at December 31, 2002 are $8.0 million
of performance standby letters of credit with approximate terms of one year.
These performance standby letters of credit were issued primarily for the
benefit of local municipalities on behalf of certain of the Bank's borrowers.
These borrowers have a current relationship with the Bank and are primarily
residential subdivision borrowers. Performance standby letters of credit
obligate the Bank to make payments in the event a specified third party fails to
perform under non-financial contractual obligations. Also included in
outstanding loan commitments at December 31, 2002 were $11.9 million of
financial standby letters of credit with approximate terms of one- to three-
years. These financial standby letters of credit were issued primarily for the
benefit of other financial institutions, on behalf of certain of the Bank's
current borrowers. Financial standby letters of credit obligate the Bank to
guarantee payment of a specified financial obligation. The Bank collects a fee
upon the issuance of performance and financial standby letters of credit.

million, $4.2 million and $4.1 million, respectively.

(20) Regulatory Capital
     ------------------

The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by
federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can
initiate certain mandatory and possible additional discretionary actions by

                                                                              59



     regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the
     institutions' financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and
     the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action (PCA), the
     institution must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative
     measures of the institution's assets, liabilities and certain off-balance
     sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The
     institution's capital amount and classification are also subject to
     qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings
     and other factors.

     Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy
     require the institution to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth
     in the following table) of total and Tier I capital (as defined) to
     risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier I capital (as defined) to
     average assets (as defined). Management believes, at December 31, 2002,
     that the Bank meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is
     subject.

     As of December 31, 2002, the most recent notification from the FDIC
     categorized the Bank as "well capitalized" under the regulatory framework
     for PCA. To be categorized as "well capitalized" the Bank must maintain
     minimum total risk-based, Tier I risk-based and Tier I leverage ratios of
     10.0%, 6.0% and 5.0%, respectively. There are no conditions or events since
     that notification that management believes have changed the Bank's
     category.

     The actual capital amounts and ratios are presented for the Bank in the
     following table for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001:



                                                                      2002                                  2001

Independent Auditors' Report



To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Roslyn Bancorp, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial condition
of Roslyn Bancorp, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, and
the related consolidated statements of income, changes in stockholders' equity
and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31,
2002. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Roslyn Bancorp, Inc.
and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period
ended December 31, 2002 in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America.
