FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

       PEEKSKILL FINANCIAL CORPORATION ANNOUNCES THIRD QUARTER NET INCOME,
         DECLARES CASH DIVIDEND AND ANNOUNCES 100,000 SHARE REPURCHASE

Peekskill, New York - Peekskill Financial Corporation  ("Company"),  the holding
company for First Federal  Savings Bank ("Bank"),  today announced net income of
$395,000,  or $0.20 per basic  share,  for the  quarter  ended  March 31,  1999,
compared  to net  income of  $437,000,  or $0.16 per basic  share,  for the same
period last year.  For the nine months ended March 31, 1999,  net income totaled
$1.3 million,  or $0.56 per basic share,  compared to $1.4 million, or $0.51 per
basic  share,  for the nine months ended March 31,  1998.  Diluted  earnings per
share  amounts  were $0.19 and $0.16 for the  quarters  ended March 31, 1999 and
1998,  respectively,  and $0.54 and $0.49 for the nine-month periods ended March
31, 1999 and 1998,  respectively.  The Company also  announced that the Board of
Directors  has declared a quarterly  cash  dividend of $0.09 per share,  payable
June 11, 1999 to holders of record as of May 21, 1999.

In addition,  the Company  announced its intention to repurchase  100,000 of its
outstanding  shares  of  common  stock in the open  market  over a  twelve-month
period.  These shares will be purchased at prevailing market prices from time to
time depending upon market conditions.

Net interest income  decreased  $114,000 in the current quarter  compared to the
quarter  ended March 31, 1998 and  decreased  $92,000 for the nine months  ended
March 31, 1999  compared to the same period  last year.  Interest  and  dividend
income  increased  $106,000 to $3.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1999
compared  to the  quarter  ended  March 31,  1998,  reflecting  a $14.5  million
increase in average interest-earning assets partially offset by a 27 basis point
decrease in the  average  yield.  Interest  expense  increased  $220,000 to $1.8
million for the quarter  ended March 31, 1999  compared to the same quarter last
year.  This increase was due  primarily to a $23.9  million  increase in average
interest-bearing  liabilities  partially  offset by an 8 basis point decrease in
the average  cost.  Interest and  dividend  income  increased  $677,000 to $10.1
million for the nine months  ended March 31, 1999  compared to the same period a
year ago.  The  increase was caused  primarily  by a $17.8  million  increase in
average  interest-earning  assets, partially offset by a 15 basis point decrease
in the average yield.  Interest expense  increased  $769,000 to $5.2 million for
the nine months ended March 31, 1999 compared to the nine months ended March 31,
1998,  primarily  due to a $23.9  million  increase in average  interest-bearing
liabilities.

During the current nine-month period, the Company recognized  interest income on
certain   participation  loans  ("TASCO  Loans"),   which  had  been  placed  on
non-accrual status during the quarter ended September 30, 1996. As a servicer of
these loans,  the FDIC is  disputing  its  obligation  to  pass-through  certain
principal  and  interest  payments on the loans  whether or not such amounts are
collected from the borrowers. The FDIC suspended payments beginning in 1996, but
resumed  making  certain  payments  in the  quarter  ended June 30, 1997 and has
continued to make current  payments.  As a result,  interest payments of $34,000
(including  $11,000 in the current quarter)  received in the current  nine-month
period were recognized as income on a cash basis.  However, the dispute over the
suspended  payments  has not been  resolved,  and the TASCO Loans of $841,000 at
March 31, 1999 and $876,000 at June 30, 1998 are included in the Company's total
non-performing loans.

In  addition  to the TASCO  Loans,  the Bank had  three  loans,  with  principal
balances  totaling  $382,000  on  non-accrual  status at March 31,  1999 and two
loans, with principal  balances totaling $245,000 on non-accrual  status at June
30, 1998. One-to-four family mortgage loans past due more than 90 days but still
accruing  interest  totaled  $324,000 at March 31, 1999  compared to $370,000 at
June 30,  1998.  The Bank had no real  estate  owned at March  31,  1999 and one
property  classified  as real estate  owned with a carrying  value of $94,000 at
June 30, 1998.

The provision for loan losses was $15,000 for the quarters  ended March 31, 1999
and 1998, and $45,000 for the nine-month  periods ended March 31, 1999 and 1998.
The overall  allowance  for loan losses was $727,000 or 47.0% of  non-performing
loans at March 31, 1999,  compared to $682,000 or 45.7% of non-performing  loans
at June 30, 1998. There were no loan charge-offs or recoveries in the nine-month
periods  ended March 31, 1999 and 1998.  Management  continues  to evaluate  the
adequacy of the  allowance  for loan  losses  based on local  economic  and real
estate market conditions,  loan portfolio growth and the level of non-performing
loans.

Non-interest  expense  decreased  $20,000 for the  quarter  ended March 31, 1999
compared to the prior year  quarter.  The  decrease  was caused  primarily by an
$82,000  decrease in compensation  and benefits  expense,  partially offset by a
$12,000 increase in computer service fees and a $38,000 increase in professional
fees.  For the nine months ended March 31, 1999,  non-interest  expense  totaled
$2.7 million,  an increase of $87,000 compared to the same period last year. The
increase  was caused  primarily  by a $19,000  increase in  occupancy  costs,  a
$31,000  increase in computer  service fees, a $34,000  increase in professional
fees and a $68,000 increase in other operating  expenses,  partially offset by a
$77,000  decrease  in  compensation  and  benefits  expense.  The  decreases  in
compensation  and benefits  expense for the three and nine month  periods  ended
March 31,  1999  compared  to the year ago  periods  was caused  primarily  by a
$64,000  charge to earnings  last year for the full  vesting of certain  shares,
under the Company's RRP, due to the death of a Director.

Income tax  expense  for the quarter  ended  March 31,  1999  decreased  $45,000
compared to the same period last year and decreased  $54,000 for the  nine-month
period  ended March 31, 1999  compared to the same period a year ago,  primarily
due to decreases in pre-tax income.

<PAGE>

Total assets at March 31, 1999 were $201.2 million compared to $200.3 million at
June 30, 1998. The increase of $851,000 is comprised of a $7.9 million  increase
in  net  loans,  substantially  offset  by a  $6.5  million  decrease  in  total
securities and an $832,000 decrease in cash and cash equivalents. Changes in the
Company's funding sources during the current  nine-month period included a $10.0
million increase in borrowings under securities repurchase agreements and a $5.4
million  increase in depositor  accounts,  partially  offset by a $14.7  million
decrease in stockholders' equity. The decrease in stockholders' equity primarily
reflects  treasury stock purchases of $15.8 million  (including $13.5 million in
the current  quarter upon completion of the Modified Dutch Auction Tender Offer)
and dividends paid of $622,000, partially offset by net income of $1.3 million.

The  Company's  stock is traded on the NASDAQ  National  Market System under the
symbol  PEEK .
