(1)  The number of shares of common stock of Greater New York Bancorp Inc.
     ("Bancorp Common Stock") to be issued in the share exchange described
     herein (the "share exchange") cannot be precisely determined at the time
     this Registration Statement becomes effective because shares of common
     stock of The Greater New York Savings Bank ("Bank Common Stock") may be
     issued thereafter and prior to the effective time of the share exchange
     pursuant to the Bank's Employee Stock Ownership Plan, Long-Term Incentive
     Program, 1996 Non-Employee Directors Stock Option Plan and 1996
     Equity Incentive Plan. The Registration Statement covers a number  of
     shares of Bancorp Common Stock which is estimated to be at least as
     large as the number of shares of Bank Common Stock which are expected to
     be outstanding at the effective time of the share exchange. See the
     undertaking in Item 22(4) in Part II of this Registration Statement.

(2)  The number of shares of Series A ESOP Convertible Preferred Stock of
     Bancorp ("Bancorp Series A Preferred Stock") to be issued in the share
     exchange cannot be precisely determined at the time this Registration
     Statement becomes effective because shares of Series A ESOP Convertible
     Preferred Stock of the Bank ("Bank Series A Preferred Stock") may be
     retired thereafter and prior to the effective time of the share exchange
     pursuant to the Bank's Employee Stock Ownership Plan. This Registration
     Statement covers a number of shares of Bancorp Series A Preferred Stock
     which is estimated to be at least as large as the number of shares of Bank
     Series A Preferred Stock which are expected to be outstanding at the
     effective time of the share exchange. See the undertaking in Item 22(4)
     in Part II of this Registration Statement.

(3)  Estimated pursuant to Rule 457(f)(1) of the Securities Act of 1933 (the
     "Securities Act"), based upon the per share market value of the shares of
     Bank Common Stock to be exchanged in the share exchange, which is deemed to
     be the average of the reported high and low sales prices of a share of Bank
     Common Stock on the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated
     Quotation System on February 14, 1997.

(4)  Estimated pursuant to Rule 457(f)(2) of the Securities Act, based upon the

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

                        THE GREATER NEW YORK SAVINGS BANK
                     REPORTS HIGHER SECOND QUARTER EARNINGS

                     DECLARES CASH DIVIDEND ON COMMON STOCK

        The Greater New York Savings Bank (NASDAQ: GRTR) today reported that its
net income in the second quarter of 1997 increased to $4.7 million, or $0.20 per
fully diluted common share, from $4.3 million, or $0.17 per share, in the second
quarter of 1996. For the first half of 1997, net income rose to $9.4 million, or
$0.39 per share, from $8.5 million, or $0.33 per share, for the same period of
1996.

        The Bank also announced that its Board of Directors declared a quarterly
cash dividend of $.05 per common share, payable September 2, 1997 to holders of
record at the close of business on August 15, 1997.

        The increases in 1997 net income over the corresponding periods of 1996
were primarily due to higher net interest and dividend income and lower expenses
associated with nonperforming loans and real estate activities. These
improvements were offset in part by a decline in noninterest income and an
increase in the provision for income taxes.

        As previously announced, the Bank signed a definitive merger agreement
with Astoria Financial Corporation for The Greater to merge into Astoria Federal
Savings and Loan Association, Astoria Financial's wholly-owned thrift
subsidiary.

        Gerard C. Keegan, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of The
Greater, said, "We are pleased with the Bank's continued strong performance
during the quarter and we look forward to joining forces with Astoria Federal."

MERGER AGREEMENT

        Under the terms of the merger agreement, each share of The Greater's
common stock will be converted into either 0.50 shares of Astoria Financial
common stock or $19.00 in cash with 75% of The Greater shares being converted
into Astoria Financial common stock and 25% being exchanged for cash, subject to
certain election, allocation and proration procedures.

        The transaction is subject to approval by the shareholders and the
appropriate regulatory authorities of both the Bank and Astoria Financial, as
well as the satisfaction of certain other conditions. A special meeting of the
shareholders of the Bank will be held on August 1, 1997 to vote on the merger.
Subject to the approvals, the merger is expected to close at the end of the
third quarter of 1997.

REVENUES

        Net interest and dividend income, The Greater's primary source of
income, grew to $19.1 million in the second quarter of 1997, from $18.0 million
in the same quarter of 1996. For the first six months of 1997, net interest and
dividend income rose to $38.0 million, from $35.9 million in the same period a
year ago.

        The growth in net interest and dividend income for both periods
reflected a stronger net interest margin. The Greater's net interest margin
improved to 3.14% in the second quarter of 1997, from 2.96% in the second
quarter of 1996. For the first half of the year, the margin increased to 3.12%,
from 2.97% in the 1996 first half. The improved margin was largely a function of
growth in the Bank's net interest-earning assets and a higher interest rate
spread.

        One-to-four family and cooperative loan originations in the first half
of 1997 aggregated $104 million, a 77% increase from $58 million in the same
period of 1996.

        Noninterest income for the second quarter of 1997 totaled $1.8 million,
down from $2.6 million in the comparable period of 1996. For the first half of
1997, noninterest income amounted to $3.9 million, versus $4.6 million in the
same period of 1996. The declines primarily reflected lower income from mortgage
servicing and the prepayment of commercial real estate loans. The reduction in
servicing income was due to the sale in September 1996 of a substantial portion
of the Bank's servicing portfolio.

PROVISIONS FOR LOAN AND REAL ESTATE LOSSES

        The combined provision for loan and real estate losses totaled $0.5
million in the second quarter of 1997 and $1.0 million for the first half of
this year, unchanged from the same periods of 1996.

NONINTEREST EXPENSES

        Expenses for nonperforming loans and real estate activities declined to
$0.5 million in the second quarter of 1997, from $1.0 million in the same
quarter of 1996. For the first half of the year, these expenses were reduced to
$1.5 million, from $1.8 million in the comparable period a year ago.

        All other noninterest expenses in the 1997 second quarter increased
slightly to $12.3 million, from $12.1 million in the second quarter of 1996. For
the first half of 1997, the same expenses amounted to $24.2 million, compared to
$24.1 million in the corresponding period of 1996.

INCOME TAXES

        Income tax expense in the second quarter amounted to $2.8 million,
compared to $2.7 million in the second quarter of 1996. For the first half of
the year, the provision for income taxes amounted to $5.6 million, compared to
$5.1 million in the comparable period of 1996. The Bank's effective tax rate was
37% for both periods of 1997, compared to 39% in the second quarter of 1996 and
38% for the 1996 first half.

NONPERFORMING ASSETS/ALLOWANCES FOR LOAN AND REAL ESTATE LOSSES

        At June 30, 1997, The Greater's nonperforming assets amounted to $52.1
million, or 2.02% of total assets, an increase from $45.6 million, or 1.79%, at
December 31, 1996 and $38.7 million, or 1.51%, at March 31, 1997. Most of the
increase from March 31,1997 was due to one loan relationship classified as a
troubled debt restructuring that became ninety days past due during the quarter.
This relationship is expected to return to an interest-earning status in the
third quarter of 1997.

        At June 30, 1997, the combined allowance for loan and real estate losses
amounted to $20.6 million, compared to $20.5 million at year-end 1996. The
combined allowance (excluding the reserve related to real estate held for
development) represented 36% of nonperforming assets at June 30, 1997, compared
to 42% at December 31, 1996.

RETURN ON AVERAGE EQUITY AND ASSETS

        Return on average equity improved to 8.87% in the second quarter of
1997, from 8.56% in the 1996 second quarter. For the first half of the year, the
return on average equity increased to 8.90%, from 8.56% in the first half of
1996.

        Return on average assets improved to 0.74% for both the second quarter
and first half of 1997, from 0.66% in the corresponding periods of 1996.

STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY, BOOK VALUE AND REGULATORY CAPITAL

        Stockholders' equity increased to $216.8 million at June 30, 1997, from
$209.6 million at December 31, 1996. Similarly, the ratio of stockholders'
equity to total assets improved to 8.40% at June 30, 1997, from 8.25% at
year-end 1996. Book value per common share rose to $11.74 at June 30, 1997, from
$11.31 at December 31, 1996.

   
        The Greater's Tier 1 leverage capital ratio increased to 7.39% at June
30, 1997, from 7.06% at December 31, 1996. The Greater's total risk-based
capital ratio also improved to 15.93% at June 30, 1997, from 14.62% at December
31, 1996.
    

        On July 3, 1997, the trustee of the Bank's Employee Stock Ownership Plan
converted all of the outstanding shares of the Bank's Series A, 8.25%
Convertible Preferred Stock into the Bank's common stock. The conversion will
result in a third quarter reclassification of $5.1 million of preferred equity
to common equity, which will increase the Bank's Tier 1 leverage capital ratio
by approximately 20 basis points.

        The Greater New York Savings Bank is a state-chartered, community-based
savings bank with assets of $2.6 billion, deposits of $1.6 billion and
stockholders' equity of $216.8 million at June 30, 1997. Founded in Brooklyn in
1897, The Greater has been meeting the deposit and credit needs of New York area
residents for a century. The Bank has 14 neighborhood branches in Brooklyn,
Queens and Long Island.
