4) EARNINGS PER SHARE

     The Bank adopted SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share," on December 31, 1997.
SFAS No. 128 established the new standard for computation and presentation of
net income per common share. Under the new requirements both basic and diluted
net income per common share is presented. All prior period net income per common
share data has been restated.

     Basic net income per common share is calculated by dividing net income,
less the dividends on preferred stock, if any, by the average common shares
outstanding during the period.

     Diluted net income per common share is calculated similar to that of the
basic net income per common share except that the denominator is increased to
include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding
if all potentially dilutive common shares arising from unexercised stock options
were issued during the reporting period.

     As discussed in note 2, the Company completed a conversion and
reorganization, which included the exchange of previously outstanding shares for
new shares of the stock holding company, Bayonne Bancshares, Inc., at an
exchange ratio of 2.933 to 1. All historical share and per share information has
been adjusted to reflect this change unless otherwise noted.

     The following table summarizes the computation of basis earnings and
diluted earnings per common share for the three months ended June 30, 1998 and
1997:

                                                          Three months ended

5) RECLASSIFCATIONS

     Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1997 amounts to conform to
the 1998 presentation.


6) PROPOSED MERGER WITH RICHMOND COUNTY FINANCIAL CORP.

     The Company announced on July 20, 1998 that it had entered into a
definitive agreement to merge with Richmond County Financial Corp. Under the
terms of the agreement, which is subject to approval by shareholders of each
company and regulatory authorities, the Company's shareholders will receive 1.05
shares of Richmond County Financial Corp. for each share of the Company owned.
The transaction is intended to be a tax free merger accounted for as a pooling
of interests and is expected to be completed by the first quarter of calendar
1999. The Agreement and Plan of Merger was included as an exhibit to the Form
8-K filed by the Company on July 27, 1998.


7) RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT

     In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 133,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." This statement
establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, and
for hedging activities. This statement is effective for periods commencing
January 1, 2000. The Corporation is currently evaluating the impact this
statement will have on its results of operations and its financial position. The
effect of adopting this statement is not expected to have a material effect on
the Company's results of operations or financial condition.


8) COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

     During the quarter ended June 30, 1998, the Company adopted SFAS No. 130,
"Reporting Comprehensive Income." SFAS No. 130 requires the reporting of
comprehensive income in addition to net income from operations. Comprehensive
income is a more inclusive financial reporting methodology that includes
disclosure of certain financial information that historically has not been
recognized in the calculation of net income. The financial statements reflect
the adoption of SFAS No. 130.

     Total comprehensive income (loss) for the three months ended June 30, 1998
and 1997 was $503,000 and 2,588,000, respectively. For the three months ended
June 30, 1998, total comprehensive income (loss) represented net income of
$1,114,000 and other comprehensive income (loss) of ($611,000). For the three
months ended June 30, 1997, total comprehensive income (loss) represented net
income of $838,000 and other comprehensive income (loss) of $1,750,000. Other
comprehensive income for the above-mentioned periods related to unrealized
gains/losses on securities available for sale, net of tax.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     FINANCIAL CONDITION

     Stockholders' equity decreased by $2.7 million to $95.9 million, at June
30, 1998 from $98.6 million at March 31, 1998. The decrease in stockholders'
equity was primarily attributable to the acquisition of 194,768 shares of
common stock for approximately $3.2 million during the quarter to be used for
stock awards under the Company's 1998 Management Recognition Plan. The decrease
was partially offset by net income of $1.1 million for the three months ended
June 30, 1998. At June 30, 1998, the Bank's tangible, core and risk based
capital ratios were 11.42%, 11.42%, and 25.96% respectively.

     Total assets increased by $54.1 million or 8.4% to $700.2 million at June
30, 1998 from $646.1 million at March 31, 1998. Loans receivable, net increase
by $82.6 million or 35.1 % to $318.1 million at June 30, 1998 from $235.5
million at March 31, 1998. On June 30, 1998, the Bank purchased an $80.0 million
mortgage loan package, which consisted of seasoned, fixed rate single family
loans yielding approximately 6.5%. Mortgage origination's during the quarter,
net of mortgage prepayments and amortization, totaled $2.7 million. Securities
available for sale, at market value decreased by $23.6 million or 6.5% to $339.2
million at June 30, 1998 from $362.8 million at March 31, 1998. The decrease was
primarily attributable to the sale of lower yielding U.S. Treasury, agency and
mortgage-backed securities totaling $57 million. The Bank also purchased $32.0
million of variable rate trust preferred securities and $35.0 million of
adjustable and fixed rate mortgages backed securities. Principal amortization on
mortgage backed securities during the quarter ended June 30, 1998 approximated
$42.9 million.

     Total liabilities increased by $56.9 million to $604.3 million at June 30,
1998 from $547.4 million at March 31, 1998. Total deposits decreased by $1.8
million to $421.7 million at June 30, 1998 from $423.5 million at March 31,
1998. This decrease was primarily due to maturing, long-term, high rate
certificates of deposit. Borrowings increased by $59.2 million to $174.2 million
at June 30, 1998 compared to $115.0 million at March 31, 1998. Borrowings were
used to increase the Company's holdings of adjustable rate trust preferred and
mortgage backed securities, to fund a portion of the bulk loan purchase of $80.0
million and to fund the outflow of maturing high yielding certificates of
deposit.

     RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Net income increased by $276,000 or 32.9% to $1.1 million for three months
ended June 30, 1998 from $838,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1997. Cash
earnings for the quarter increased stockholders' equity by $353,000 or 32% more
than the earnings reported above. Cash earnings represent the amount by which
stockholders' equity changes each period due to operating results, including
reported earnings and 


                                       8
<PAGE>


amortization related to certain employee stock plans and the related tax effect.
The increase resulted primarily from an increase in net interest income, which
was partially offset by an increase in total interest expense and total
operating expenses.

     Net interest income rose by 20.0% in the quarter ended June 30, 1998 to
$4.2 million compared to $3.6 million for the comparable prior year quarter. The
increase was the result of an increase in average interest earning assets of
$83.2 million or 14.7% to $648.9 million at June 30, 1998 from $565.6 million at
June 30, 1997 and an 8 basis point improvement in the net interest margin to
2.61% in the first quarter in fiscal 1999 compared to 2.53% in the first quarter
in fiscal 1998.

     Total interest expense increased $92,000 to $6.4 million for the three
months ended June 30, 1998 compared to $6.3 million for the three months ended
June 30, 1997. The increase was primarily attributable to the average balance of
borrowings increasing $56.1 million or 66.8% to $140.1 million compared to $84.0
million at June 30, 1997, offset by a decrease of $21.5 million or 4.8% in the
average balance of interest bearing savings deposits to $421.9 million at June
30, 1998 compared to $443.4 million for the comparable prior year.

     The provision for loan losses totaled $50,000 for the three months ended
June 30, 1998 as compared to $45,000 for the prior year's three month period.
The provision is a result of management's judgment based on a review of its loan
portfolio and consideration of a variety of factors including, 1) the risk
characteristics of its loan portfolio, 2) current economic conditions, 3) actual
losses previously experienced and 4) the existing levels of reserves for
possible loan losses in the future. Non-performing loans at June 30, 1998 and
March 31, 1998 were $2.8. million and $3.8 million or 0.88% and 1.62% of loans
receivable net, respectively.

     Non-interest income totaled $311,000 for the three months ended June 30,
1998 compared to $398,000 for quarter ended June 30, 1997. The 1997 fiscal
quarter included $95,000 in non-recurring income related to a previously
completed joint venture, while the three months ended June 30, 1998 included a
$21,000 loss on sale of available for sale securities.

     Operating expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 1998 increased by
$133,000 or 5.1% to $2.7 million, compared to $2.6 million for the quarter ended
June 30, 1997. Compensation and employee benefits rose by $109,000 or 7.4% to
$1.6 million for the three-months ended June 30, 1998 compared to $1.5 million
for the comparable prior year. Expenses for new and existing ESOP and management
recognition plans increased by $373,000 to $561,000 for the quarter ended June
30, 1998 compared to $188,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 1997, which were
partially offset by lower executive salary expense.

     Income tax expense for the quarter increased by $162,000 to $654,000 for
the three months ended June 30, 1998 from the $492,000 for the comparable prior
period, as a result of higher pre-tax income for the most recent three month
period.

CAPITAL

     The OTS requires that the Bank meet minimum tangible, core and risk-based
capital requirements. As of June 30, 1998, the Bank exceeded all regulatory
capital requirements. The Bank's required, actual and excess capital levels as
of June 30, 1998 were as follows (in thousands of dollars):
<TABLE>

Risk-based Capital...        $23,893       8.00%       $77,547      25.96%        $53,654
</TABLE>

     If the allowance for marketable debt and equity securities was included in
capital, the Bank's tangible, core and risk-based capital ratios would be
11.22%, 11.22% and 25.53%, respectively, at June 30, 1998.

LIQUIDITY

     The Bank is required to maintain minimum levels of liquid assets as defined
by OTS regulations. This requirement, which varies from time to time depending
upon economic conditions and deposit flows, is based upon a percentage of
deposits and short-term borrowings. The required ratio currently is 5.0%. The
Bank's liquidity ratio averaged 39.83% during the month of June 30, 1998 and
35.03% during three months ended June 30, 1998. The Bank adjusts liquidity as
appropriate to meet its asset and liability management objectives.

YEAR 2000 CONSIDERATION

     The Company and the Bank relies on computers for the daily conduct of its
business and for data processing. There is concern among industry experts that
on January 1, 2000 computers will be unable to "read" the new year and there may
be widespread computer malfunctions. The Bank generally relies on independent
third parties to provide data processing services to the Bank, and has been
advised by its data processing service center that the issue is being addressed.
The Bank recognized that a comprehensive and coordinated plan of action was
needed to ensure readiness to perform Year 2000 processing. A Year 2000
Committee has been formed to implement the Year 2000 project, develop policies,
document readiness of the Bank and the Company to accommodate Year 2000
processing, and track and test progress towards full compliance. The Bank
contracts with service bureaus to provide the majority of its data processing
and is dependent upon purchased application software. In house applications are
limited to word-processing and spreadsheet functions.


                                       10
<PAGE>


     The Bank is in the process of ensuring that external vendors and services
are adequately addressing the system and software issues related to the Year
2000 by obtaining written system certifications that the systems are fully Year
2000 compliant or that the vendor has a plan to become fully compliant in the
very near future. The Bank will utilize the primary servicers end-to-end tests,
which will be available by December 31, 1999, to simulate daily processing on
sensitive century dates. In the evaluation, the Bank will ensure that critical
operations will continue if servicers or vendors are unable to achieve the Year
2000 requirements. The Committee completed a systems inventory and obtained
vendor certification. The Committee identified critical applications and
developed detailed plans for hardware/system upgrades and system replacements
where necessary. The Committee has budgeted $250,000 for hardware system
upgrades and system replacements which has been approved by the Board of
Directors. All upgrades have been implemented and will be substantially tested
by December 31, 1998.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

     There have been no material changes in information regarding quantitative
and qualitative disclosures about market risk as of June 30, 1998 from the
information as of March 31, 1998, which was disclosed in the Company's 1998 Form
10-K.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
