Item 2. Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations

Forward-Looking Statements

         This  Form  10-Q  contains  certain   forward-looking   statements  and
information  relating to the Company that are based on the beliefs of management
as  well  as  assumptions  made  by  and  information   currently  available  to
management.  In addition,  in portions of this document and the Company's Annual
Report to Stockholders, the words "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "expect,"
"intend,"  "should," and similar  expressions,  or the negative thereof, as they
relate to the  Company or the  Company's  management,  are  intended to identify
forward-looking  statements.  Such  statements  reflect the current views of the
Company with respect to future  looking events and are subject to certain risks,
uncertainties   and   assumptions.   Should  one  or  more  of  these  risks  or
uncertainties  materialize or should  underlying  assumptions  prove  incorrect,
actual results may vary materially  from those described  herein as anticipated,
believed, estimated, expected or intended. The Company does not intend to update
these forward-looking statements.

Changes in Financial Condition

         Total assets at September  30, 2000 were $5.1 billion  representing  an
increase  of $584.5  million  or 13.0%  over  total  assets of $4.5  billion  at
December  31,  1999.  The increase in overall  assets was  primarily  due to the
completion  of the  acquisition  of First  State Bank  ("FSB")  during the first
quarter of 2000  resulting in a net increase of $336.4  million in total assets.
Exclusive of the FSB  acquisition,  the Company  experienced  an increase in net
loans of $494.4  million or 23.0%  during the first  nine  months of 2000.  Loan
originations  were $1.3 billion for the nine-month  period ending  September 30,
2000.  The  Mortgage  Company had  originations  of $510.3  million and sales of
$360.7 million on one to four family residential loans. The Company retained for
its own  portfolio  $160.0  million  of ARM  loans  originated  by the  Mortgage
Company.  The Bank in this  time  period  had  loan  sales  of  $145.0  million,
primarily  in  fixed-rate  loans  to  fund  adjustable  rate  loans  for its own
portfolio and construction loans originated by the construction lending company.
The  increase  in net loans was  partially  offset by a decrease  in  securities
available  for sale of $317.6  million  exclusive of the  acquisition  of $223.5
million in securities from FSB. The decrease in securities during the first nine
months of 2000 was primarily due to sales of $259.7 million and  prepayments and
amortization from the mortgage backed securities portfolio.

         In the current  interest  rate  environment  management  continues  its
strategy to maintain  the interest  rate spread and margin by partially  funding
new  originations  of  adjustable-rate  loans and  construction  loans  with the
proceeds  from sales  from the  securities  available  for sale  portfolio  thus
reducing the Company's  emphasis on the  utilization  of borrowed  funds to fund
loan originations.

         Total deposits at September 30, 2000 were $2.3 billion compared to $1.8
billion at  December  31,  1999.  The  increase  of $492.5  million or 27.1% was
primarily due to an increase of $327.4 million from the acquisition of FSB and a
increase of $165.1  million  from deposit  gathering  activities  including  the
issuance of $100  million of brokered  certificates  of deposit  with a weighted
average cost of 7.01%. The funds from these brokered  deposits were used to fund
originations  of higher  yielding  loans.  The  weighted  average  cost of total
deposits was 3.38% for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 primarily due to
our relatively lower costing core deposit base which  represented 60.1% of total
deposits at such date.  Within our core deposit base 16.9% of total deposits are
non-interest bearing DDA accounts.

         Borrowed  funds as of September  30, 2000 totaled $2.1 billion or $75.2
million more than December 31, 1999. The increase in borrowings for the year was
primarily used to fund the  acquisition of FSB. It continues to be  management's
intention to reduce its  utilization  of  borrowings to fund asset growth and to
emphasize  more  traditional  funding  sources  such as deposit  growth and loan
sales. To enhance its deposit gathering  activities,  the Bank opened its second
branch in  Brooklyn,  New York during the quarter,  and will open an  additional
branch in Ocean County,  New Jersey  during the fourth  quarter of this year. On

                                       12
<PAGE>
October 10, the Company announced the acquisition of four branches in New Jersey
from Unity Bancorp.  Subject to regulatory approval, it is anticipated that this
acquisition will be completed during the fourth quarter of 2000.

         Stockholders'  equity as of  September  30, 2000 was $570.4  million or
11.24% of total assets  compared to $571.4  million or 12.73% of total assets as
of December 31, 1999.  The decrease of $1.0 million was primarily due to the use
of $52.3 million to repurchase  3.0 million  shares of stock and aggregate  cash
dividend payments of $13.8 million. These two decreases were partially offset by
net income of $39.3  million,  an allocation of Employee  Stock  Ownership  Plan
("ESOP") and  Recognition  and  Retention  Plan ("RRP")  shares  resulting in an
increase  of $8.2  million,  a  decrease  of  $13.0  million  in the  unrealized
depreciation  on securities  available for sale,  net of taxes,  and a valuation
adjustment  of the  deferred tax asset  resulting  from the  Company's  previous
contribution of 2.1 million shares of its stock to the SISB Community Foundation
resulting in an increase of $4.9 million in stockholders' equity.


Results of Operations

         The Company reported net income of $13.7 million or $0.41 per basic and
fully  diluted  share for the three months ended  September 30, 2000 compared to
net income of $13.6  million or $0.36 per basic and fully  diluted share for the
three-month period ended September 30, 1999. Cash earnings were $16.5 million or
$0.50 per share for the third quarter of 2000 compared to cash earnings of $15.5
million  or $0.41  per  share  for the same  period  last  year.  Cash  earnings
represent the Company's  net income  increased by adding back non-cash  expenses
net of  applicable  taxes  related to the ESOP and RRP and the  amortization  of
goodwill.

         The  increase in net income for the quarter  ended  September  30, 2000
compared to the same  quarter one year ago was  primarily  due to an increase of
$3.8 million in other income and a decrease in the provision for income taxes of
$802,000, partially offset by a $1.2 million decrease in net interest income and
a $3.3 million increase in total other expenses.

         For the nine months ended  September 30, 2000,  net income  amounted to
$39.3  million  or $1.16 per basic and fully  diluted  share  compared  to $39.2
million or $1.02 per basic and fully  diluted  share for the  nine-month  period
ending  September 30, 1999. Cash earnings for the first nine months of 2000 were
$47.2  million or $1.39 per share  compared to $44.8  million or $1.17 per share
for the first nine months of 1999.

         The increase in net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2000
compared to the nine months ended  September  30, 1999 was  primarily  due to an
increase of $2.3 million in net interest income,  an increase of $5.5 million in
other  income and a decrease of $2.3 million in the  provision  for income taxes
partially offset by an increase of $10.1 million in total other expenses.

Interest Income

         The  Company's  total  interest  income  for  the  three  months  ended
September  30, 2000 was $86.5  million,  an  increase of $15.7  million or 22.1%
compared to $70.9 million for the three months ended  September  30, 1999.  This
increase was primarily  due to an increase of $17.8  million in interest  income
from loans partially  offset by a $2.1 million  decrease in interest income from
securities.  The primary  reason for the increase in interest  income from loans
was an $884.9 million  increase in the average balance of loans and, to a lesser
extent, a 14 basis points increase in the average yield of the loan portfolio to
7.71% for the third  quarter of 2000  compared to 7.57% for the third quarter of
1999.  The  increase  in the  average  balance  of the  loan  portfolio  was due
primarily to the Bank's continued business development efforts and the retention
of select ARM loans originated by the Mortgage Company along with increased loan
demand.  The decrease in interest income from securities in the third quarter of
2000 compared to the third quarter of 1999 was due to a $180.9 million  decrease
in the average  balance of the  securities  portfolio  partially  offset by a 17
basis point  increase in the average yield to 6.56%.  The decline in the average
balance of the securities portfolio reflects management's plan to use cash flows
from the  securities  portfolio to fund  additional  originations  of relatively
higher yielding loan originations.

         Interest income for the nine-month period ending September 30, 2000 was
$252.2 million  compared to $200.4  million for the comparable  time period last
year. The increase of $51.7 million or 25.8% was primarily due to an increase of
$48.1  million in  interest  income  from loans and a $4.5  million  increase in
interest income on securities.  The increase in interest income on loans was due
to a $828.2 million  increase in the average  balance of loans in the first nine
months of 2000  compared  to the first  nine  months of 1999.  The  increase  in
interest  income on securities was primarily due to a 36 basis point increase in
the average yield to 6.70% compared to 6.34% for the same time period last year.
The reasons for the increase in the average  balance of the loan  portfolio  are
the same as stated  above.  The reason for the increase in the average  yield of
the  securities  portfolio is the current higher rate  environment  resulting in
adjustable  rate  securities  repricing to higher rates and, to a lesser extent,
the securities  portfolio acquired from FSB which was recorded at current market
yields in anticipations of the sale of substantially all of such securities.


Interest Expense

         The Company's total interest  expense for the third quarter of 2000 was
$53.2  million  compared to $36.3  million for the  comparable  time period last
year.  The $16.9 million or 46.6%  increase was primarily due to a $10.9 million
increase in interest  expense on borrowed  funds and a $5.3 million  increase in
interest expense on time deposits.  The increase in interest expense on borrowed
funds was due to a $374.8  million  increase in the average  balance of borrowed
funds and a 107 basis point  increase in the average  cost of borrowed  funds to
6.35% for the three months ended September 30, 2000 compared to the three months
ended September 30, 1999. While management generally has de-emphasized  reliance
on wholesale borrowings in the current year,  borrowings increased due, in part,
to funding this  acquisition of FSB in January 2000. The increase in the average
cost of borrowings is due to the higher rate environment result in the repricing
of the  Company's  borrowings at a higher rate for the first nine months of this
year.  The increase in interest  expense on time  deposits is primarily due to a
$293.7 million  increase in the average balance of time deposits and an 82 basis
point increase in the average cost of time deposits. The increase in the average
balance of time  deposits is  primarily  due to the  acquisition  of FSB and the
Company's  initiation  of a  program  in June  2000 to use  brokers  to  acquire
additional amounts of time deposits which requires the Company to pay relatively
higher  interest  rates on such brokered  deposits.  The increase in the average
cost of time deposits is primarily due to the higher rate environment,  the time
deposits acquired from FSB and the brokered CD program.

         For the nine-month  period ending September 30, 2000,  interest expense
was $147.9 million  compared to $98.5 million for the  nine-month  period ending
September 30, 1999.  The increase of $49.4 million or 50.1% was primarily due to

                                       16
<PAGE>
an  increase  in  interest  expense on  borrowed  funds of $35.5  million and an
increase in interest expense on time deposits of $11.5 million.  The increase in
interest  expense on borrowed funds was due to a $557.0 million  increase in the
average  balance of borrowed funds and an 86 basis point increase in the average
cost to 6.11% for the nine months  ended  September  30,  2000.  The increase in
interest  expense on time  deposits is due to a $238.5  million  increase in the
average  balance of certificates of deposit and a 51 basis point increase in the
average cost to 5.27%.  The reason for the  increase in the average  balance and
cost of borrowed funds are the same as those previously  stated. The reasons for
the  increase in the average  balance of  certificates  of deposits  are the FSB
acquisition,  the  previously  mentioned  brokered CD program  and  management's
increased emphasis on deposit gathering activities.

Net Interest Income

         Net  interest  income for the third  quarter of 2000 was $33.4  million
compared to $34.6 for the third quarter of 1999. The decrease was due to a $16.9
million  increase  in  interest  expense  partially  offset  by a $15.7  million
increase  in interest  income.  The  increase  in interest  expense was due to a
$764.3 million increase in the average balance of  interest-bearing  liabilities
and an 83 basis point increase to 5.22% in the average cost of  interest-bearing
liabilities.  The  increase  in  interest  income  was due to a  $690.7  million
increase in the average balance of interest-earning  assets and a 31 basis point
increase to 7.23% in the average yield of interest-earning  assets for the three
months ended September 30, 2000.

         The  Company's  interest  rate spread and interest  rate margin for the
three  months  ended  September  30,  2000 were 2.01% and  2.79%,  respectively,
compared to 2.53% and 3.38%, respectively,  for the three months ended September
30, 1999.

         Net interest income for the nine-month period ending September 30, 2000
was $104.2  million  compared to a $101.9  million for the same time period last
year.  The  increase  was due to a $51.7  million  increase in  interest  income
partially offset by a $49.4 million increase in interest  expense.  The increase
in interest  income was due to a $777.6 million  increase in the average balance
of interest-earning assets and a 33 basis point increase in the average yield to
7.25%.  The increase in interest expense was due to a $895.3 million increase in
the  average  balance  of  interest  bearing  liabilities  and a 69 basis  point
increase in the average cost to 5.02% for the nine-month period ending September
30, 2000.

         The  Company's  interest  rate spread and interest  rate margin for the
nine-month  period ending September 30, 2000 was 2.22% and 3.00%,  respectively,
compared with 2.59% and 3.52%, respectively, for the same time period last year.

         The  current  higher rate  environment  and,  to a lesser  extent,  the
changing mix of the Company's  interest-bearing  liabilities continues to reduce
interest rate spreads and interest  rate margins.  The Company will continue its
strategy of securities and loan sales to fund higher  yielding loans to increase
the interest  earning  asset yield and  maintain  its interest  rate spreads and
margins.

Provision for Loan Losses

         The  provision  for loan  losses  for the  third  quarter  was  $12,000
compared to $30,000 for the third  quarter of 1999.  For the  nine-month  period
ending  September 30, 2000,  the provision was $41,000  compared to $100,000 for
the  comparable  time  period  last year.  Management  continuously  reviews the
composition of the portfolio and its inherent  risks,  the level of non-accruing
loans and  delinquencies,  local  economic  conditions,  and  current  trends in
regulatory supervision when determining the adequacy of the loan loss reserve.

         Non-accruing  assets  totaled  $12.6  million  at  September  30,  2000
compared to $13.4  million as of December  31,  1999.  Non-accruing  assets as a
percent of total  assets was 0.25% at  September  30, 2000  compared to 0.30% at

                                       17
<PAGE>
December 31, 1999.  The allowance for loan losses was $14.5 million at September
30, 2000 compared to $14.3 million at December 31, 1999.  The allowance for loan
losses as a percent of non-accruing  loans was 129.51% as of September 30, 2000.
The credit quality of the loan portfolio  continues to remain  relatively strong
primarily due to the Company's  underwriting and loan administration  procedures
as well as a strong economy in the Company's market area.

Other Income

         Other income was $13.0 million for the three months ended September 30,
2000 compared to $9.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 1999. The
increase was primarily due to a $3.8 million increase in service and fee income.
The  increase  in service  and fee income was  primarily  due to an  increase of
$774,000  in net gains on Bank  loan  sales,  a  $738,000  increase  in the cash
surrender value of Bank Owned Life Insurance  ("BOLI"),  a $1.7 million increase
in fee  income  generated  by the  Mortgage  Company  and ACLS,  and a  $338,000
increase in various deposit account fees.

         For the nine-month  period ending  September 30, 2000, other income was
$29.7 million  compared to $24.2 million for the nine months ended September 30,
1999. The increase of $5.5 million was primarily due to a $4.1 million  increase
in the cash surrender value of BOLI, a $1.0 million  increase in various deposit
account  fees,  a  $579,000  increase  in net  gains on Bank loan  sales,  and a
$808,000  increase in fees  generated  by the Mortgage  Company and ACLS.  These
increases  were  partially  offset by a decrease of $1.7  million in  securities
transactions  resulting  from the sale of  securities  to fund  originations  of
relatively higher yielding loans.

Total Other Expenses

            Total  other  expenses  for the third  quarter  of 2000  were  $24.8
million compared to $21.4 million for the third quarter of 1999. The increase of
$3.3 million or 15.6% was primarily due to a $1.7 million  increase in personnel
expense,  a $528,000  increase in occupancy and  equipment  expense and $775,000
increase  in  amortization  expense  for  intangible  assets.  The  increase  in
personnel  expense was  primarily  due to a $1.0 million  increase in commission
expense at the Mortgage  Company due to increased  volumes and the type of loans
originated,  a $373,000  increase due to the additional staff resulting from the
FSB  acquisition  and a $284,000  increase  due to the  operation  of ACLS.  The
increase in occupancy and equipment  expense was primarily due to the additional
locations of First State Bank,  additional locations of the Mortgage Company and
additional space and equipment needs due to growth. The increase in the non-cash
expense  resulting  from the  amortization  of intangible  assets was due to the
goodwill from the FSB acquisition.

            For the  nine-month  period ended  September  30, 2000,  total other
expenses were $70.4  million  compared to $60.4 million for the same time period
last year.  The  increase  of $10.1  million  or 16.7% is due to a $4.5  million
increase  in  personnel  expense,  a $1.4  million  increase  in  occupancy  and
equipment  expense and a $2.2 million increase in the  amortization  expense for
intangible  assets.  The increase in personnel  expense is due to a $2.2 million
increase in commission  expense at the Mortgage Company, a $1.2 million increase
due to  the  acquisition  of  FSB,  a $1.0  million  increase  due to the  added
operation of the ACLS,  increased personnel costs due to additional staff in the
loan origination and  administration  area, and normal merit pay increases.  The
increase in  commissions,  occupancy  and  equipment  expense  and  amortization
expense are the same as those previously discussed.

Provision for Income Taxes

         The provision for income taxes for the three months ended September 30,
2000 was $7.9 million  compared to $8.7 million for the quarter ended  September
30,  1999.   The   provision  for  the  third  quarter  of  this  year  includes
miscellaneous tax adjustments as the result of the Company's finalization of its
Federal  income tax return for 1999.  The effective tax rate for the quarter was


                                       18
<PAGE>
36.8%,  where the tax rate would have been 38.6% excluding the miscellaneous tax
adjustments,  compared to 39.2% for the  comparable  time  period last year.  In
addition to the  miscellaneous  tax adjustments,  the reduction of the effective
tax rate was due to various tax  planning  strategies,  primarily as a result of
the purchase of BOLI which was purchased in the third quarter of 1999.

         For the nine months ended  September 30, 2000, the provision for income
taxes was $24.2  million  compared to $26.4 million for the same time period one
year ago. This resulted in an effective tax rate before the previously mentioned
adjustment  of 38.7% for the nine months ended  September  30, 2000  compared to
40.3% for the nine  months  ended  September  30,  1999.  The  reduction  in the
effective  tax rate was due to various tax planning  strategies,  primarily  the
BOLI which was purchased in the third quarter of 1999.

Liquidity and Commitments

         The Company's liquidity, represented by cash and cash equivalents, is a
product of its  operating,  investing  and financing  activities.  The Company's
primary sources of funds are deposits, amortization,  prepayments and maturities
of outstanding loans and  mortgage-backed  securities,  maturities of investment
securities and other short-term  investments and funds provided from operations.
While  scheduled  payments from the  amortization  of loans and  mortgage-backed
securities and maturing  investment  securities and short-term  investments  are
relatively  predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are
greatly   influenced  by  general  interest  rates,   economic   conditions  and
competition. In addition, the Company invests excess funds in federal funds sold
and other  short-term  interest-earning  assets which provide  liquidity to meet
lending requirements.

         Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term function of business
management.  Excess  liquidity is generally  invested in short-term  investments
such as federal funds.  The Company uses its sources of funds  primarily to meet
its ongoing  commitments,  to pay maturing  certificates  of deposit and savings
withdrawals,  fund loan commitments and maintain a portfolio of  mortgage-backed
and  mortgage-related  securities  and investment  securities.  At September 30,
2000, the total approved loan origination  commitments  outstanding  amounted to
$348.6 million.  At the same date, the unadvanced  portion of construction loans
totaled $78.3 million.  Certificates of deposit  scheduled to mature in one year
or less at September  30, 2000 totaled  $725.7  million.  Investment  securities
scheduled  to mature in one year or less at  September  30,  2000  totaled  $3.1
million and  amortization  from  investments  and loans is  projected  at $705.5
million over the next 12 months.  Based on  historical  experience,  the current
pricing  strategy and the strong core deposit base,  management  believes that a
significant  portion of maturing  deposits  will remain with the Bank.  The Bank
anticipates that it will continue to have sufficient  funds,  together with loan
sales and security sales, to meet its current commitments.

         At September 30, 2000 the Bank had regulatory capital which was well in
excess of all regulatory  requirements set by the OTS. The current  requirements
and the Bank's actual levels are detailed below (dollars in thousands):

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

         The Company's  primary market risk continues to be market interest rate
volatility  due to the  potential  impact on net interest  income and the market
value of all interest-earning assets and interest-bearing  liabilities resulting
from changes in interest rates. The operation of the Company does not subject it
to foreign  exchange or  commodity  price risk and the Company  does not own any
trading  assets.  The real estate loan portfolio of the Company is  concentrated
primarily within the New York  metropolitan  area making it subject to the risks
associated with the local economy.  Management  believes that there have been no
material  changes in the Company's market risk at September 30, 2000 as compared
to December 31,  1999.  For a complete  discussion  of the  Company's  asset and
liability   management   market  risk  and  interest   rate   sensitivity,   see
"Management's  Discussion  and  Analysis of Financial  Condition  and Results of
Operations" in the Company's 1999 Annual Report to Stockholders.
