Item 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
         -------------------------------------

     As of 11:59 p.m. on February 16, 1999 (the "Effective Time"), the merger of
Roslyn Bancorp, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Roslyn"), and T R Financial
Corp., a Delaware corporation ("T R Financial"), was completed with Roslyn as
the surviving corporation, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as
of May 25, 1998, by and between Roslyn and T R Financial as amended on January
23, 1999 (the "Merger Agreement"). In addition, on February 16, 1999 Roosevelt
Savings Bank, a New York State-chartered savings bank ("Roosevelt"), merged with
and into The Roslyn Savings Bank, a New York State-chartered savings bank
("Roslyn Bank"), with Roslyn Bank being the surviving corporation, pursuant to
the Merger Agreement and the related Plan of Bank Merger, dated as of May 25,
1998, by and between Roslyn Bank and Roosevelt. The Boards of Directors of
Roslyn and Roslyn Bank now consist of all of the respective directors of Roslyn
and Roslyn Bank immediately prior to the Effective Time, and John M. Tsimbinos
(former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of T R Financial and Roosevelt), A.
Gordon Nutt (former President and Chief Administrative Officer and a Director of
T R Financial and Roosevelt), Maureen E. Clancy, Spiros J. Voutsinas, and
Leonard Genovese (all three of whom were former Directors of T R Financial and
Roosevelt), each of whom was appointed to the Boards of Directors of Roslyn and
Roslyn Bank pursuant to the Merger Agreement.

     Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each outstanding share of T R Financial
common stock, par value $0.01 per share ("T R Financial Common Stock"), has been
converted into the right to receive 2.05 shares of Roslyn common stock, par
value $0.01 per share ("Roslyn Common Stock"); provided, however, that no
fraction of a whole share of Roslyn Common Stock will be issued.  Instead,
Roslyn shall pay an amount of cash, rounded to the nearest cent, to each holder
of T R Financial Common Stock who would otherwise be entitled to a fractional
share of Roslyn Common stock.  As of the Effective Time, shares of T R Financial
Common Stock that were owned by T R Financial as treasury stock, that were
unallocated shares held in T R Financial's Management Recognition and Retention
Plan for Executive Officers or T R Financial's Management Recognition and
Retention Plan for Non-Employee Directors or that were held directly or
indirectly by Roslyn other than in a fiduciary capacity or in satisfaction of a
debt previously contracted were canceled and retired.  No payment will be made
with respect to such shares of T R Financial Common Stock.

     Each holder of options to purchase shares of T R Financial Common Stock
that have been issued by T R Financial and are outstanding at the Effective Time
("T R Financial Options") have been converted into options to purchase shares of
Roslyn Common Stock equal to 2.05 multiplied by the number of shares of T R
Financial Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the T R Financial Options
immediately prior to the Effective Time, such product to be rounded to the
nearest whole share of Roslyn Common stock.  The exercise price per share of
each converted T R Financial Option is equal to the quotient of the exercise
price of such T R Financial Option at the Effective Time divided by 2.05, such
quotient to be rounded to the 


                                       2
<PAGE>
 
nearest whole cent. A total of 1,746,876 T R Financial Options were converted
into options to purchase a maximum of 3,581,096 shares of Roslyn Common Stock at
an exercise price ranging from $2.20 to $17.07 depending on the exercise price
of the original underlying T R Financial Option. As a result of the transaction,
the aggregate number of shares of Roslyn Common Stock that may be issued to
former stockholders of T R Financial and upon the exercise of converted T R
Financial Options is 3,581,096.

     The Merger was consummated after satisfaction of certain conditions,
including but not limited to (i) approval of the Merger Agreement by the
stockholders of Roslyn at a special meeting of stockholders held on December 22,
1998; (ii) approval of the Merger Agreement by the stockholders of T R Financial
at a special meeting of stockholders held on December 22, 1998 and (iii) the
receipt of all requisite regulatory approvals.

     Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, as amended, Roslyn appointed six (6)
members of T R Financial's Board of Directors as members of a newly formed
advisory board of Roslyn (the "Advisory Board").  The function of the Advisory
Board is to advise Roslyn and its subsidiaries on deposit and lending activities
in T R Financial 's former market area and to maintain and develop customer
relations.

Roslyn, New York, February 17, 1999 - Roslyn Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ:RSLN), the

The combined bank will retain the Roslyn name, have $7.7 billion in assets, more
than $4.1 billion in deposits and 25 full-service banking locations.  It will be

company represents and are pleased to welcome our new stockholders, customers
and employees to the Roslyn family.  We also welcome five additional new Board
members from T R Financial Corp.  I am pleased to report that our systems
conversion will be finalized within the week.  This project contributes
significantly to the realization of the projected cost saves and reaffirms our
commitment to the enhancement of shareholder value."

Mr. Mancino will serve as both President and Chief Executive Officer of Roslyn
Bancorp and as Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of The Roslyn
Savings Bank.

John M. Tsimbinos, former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of T R Financial
Corp. and Roosevelt Savings Bank will hold the title of Chairman of Roslyn
Bancorp and Vice Chairman of The Roslyn Savings Bank.  Mr. Tsimbinos stated, "I

of Roslyn Bancorp stock."
