Independent Auditors' Report
The Board of Trustees
The Hudson City Savings Institution:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of The Hudson City
Savings Institution and subsidiaries (the Bank) as of March 31, 1998 and 1997,
and the related consolidated income statements, statements of changes in equity
and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended March 31,
1998. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the
Bank's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the
consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of The Hudson City
Savings Institution and subsidiaries as of March 31, 1998 and 1997, and the
results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the
three-year period ended March 31, 1998, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

THE HUDSON CITY SAVINGS INSTITUTION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
------------------------------------------
(a)Principles of Consolidation
---------------------------
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of The Hudson City Savings Institution and its
subsidiaries (the "Bank"). All material intercompany accounts
and transactions have been eliminated.
(b)Basis of Presentation
---------------------
The accompanying consolidated financial statements conform, in all
material respects, to generally accepted accounting principles
and to general practice within the banking industry. The Bank
utilizes the accrual method of accounting for financial
reporting purposes.
(c)Use of Estimates
----------------
Management of the Bank has made a number of estimates and
assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities
and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to
prepare these consolidated financial statements in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles. Actual results
could differ from those estimates.
Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant
change in the near term relate to the determination of the
allowance for loan losses and the valuation of other real estate
owned and repossessed property acquired in connection with
foreclosures or in-substance foreclosures. In connection with
the determination of the allowance for loan losses and the
valuation of other real estate owned and repossessed property,
management obtains appraisals for significant properties.
Management believes that the allowance for loan losses is adequate
and that other real estate owned and repossessed property is
recorded at its fair value less an estimate of the costs to sell
the properties. While management uses available information to
recognize losses on loans, other real estate owned and
repossessed property, future additions to the allowance or write
downs of other real estate owned and repossessed property may be
necessary based on changes in economic conditions. In addition,
various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their
examination process, periodically review the Bank's allowance
for loan losses and other real estate owned and repossessed
property. Such agencies may require the Bank to recognize
additions to the allowance or write downs of other real estate
owned and repossessed property based on their judgments about
information available to them at the time of their examination
which may not be currently available to management.
A substantial portion of the Bank's loans are secured by real
estate located in the New York State counties of Columbia,
Albany, Rensselaer, Dutchess, and Schenectady. In addition, a
substantial portion of the other real estate owned and
repossessed property is located in those same markets, as well
as in the states contiguous to New York. Accordingly, the
ultimate collectibility of a substantial portion of the Bank's
loan portfolio and the recovery of a substantial portion of the
carrying amount of other real estate owned and repossessed
property is dependent upon market conditions in these market
areas.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Continued
(d)Cash and Cash Equivalents
-------------------------
For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash and
cash equivalents consists of cash on hand, due from banks, and
federal funds sold.
(e)Securities Available for Sale, Investment Securities and Federal
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Home Loan Bank of New York Stock
--------------------------------
Management determines the appropriate classification of securities
at the time of purchase. If management has the positive intent
and ability to hold debt securities to maturity, they are stated
at amortized cost. If securities are purchased for the purpose
of selling them in the near term, they are classified as trading
securities and are reported at fair value with unrealized
holding gains and losses reflected in current earnings. All
other debt and marketable equity securities are classified as
securities available for sale and are reported at fair value,
with net unrealized gains or losses reported, net of income
taxes, as a separate component of equity. As a member of the
Federal Home Loan Bank of New York (FHLB), the Bank is required
to hold FHLB stock which is carried at cost since there is no
readily available market value. At March 31, 1998 and 1997, the
Bank did not hold any securities considered to be trading
securities.
Gains or losses on disposition of securities are based on the net
proceeds and the adjusted carrying amount of the securities
sold, using the specific identification method. Unrealized
losses on securities which reflect a decline in value which is
other than temporary are charged to income and reported as a
component of "net securities transactions" in the consolidated
income statements. The carrying amount of securities is adjusted
for amortization of premium and accretion of discount, which is
calculated on an effective interest method.
In November 1995, the staff of the Financial Accounting Standards
Board released its Special Report, "A Guide to Implementation of
Statement 115 on Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and
Equity Securities." The Special Report contained, among other
things, a unique provision that allowed entities to, concurrent
with the initial adoption of the Special Report (November 15,
1995) but not later than December 31, 1995, reassess the
appropriateness of the classifications of all securities held at
that time. In conjunction with the provisions of this Special
Report, as of December 31, 1995, the Bank transferred securities
with an amortized cost of $13,775,000 and an estimated fair
value of $14,017,000 from investment securities to securities
available for sale.
(f)Net Loans Receivable
--------------------
Loans are carried at the principal amount outstanding net of
unearned discount, net deferred loan origination fees and costs
and the allowance for loan losses.
<PAGE>
THE HUDSON CITY SAVINGS INSTITUTION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Continued
Non-performing loans include non-accrual loans, loans which are
contractually past due 90 days or more and still accruing
interest and troubled debt restructurings. Generally, loans are
placed on non-accrual status, either due to the delinquency
status of principal and/or interest payments, or a judgment by
management that, although payments of principal and/or interest
are current, such action is prudent. Loans are generally placed
on non-accrual status when principal and/or interest payments
are contractually past due 90 days or more. When a loan is
placed on non-accrual status, all interest previously accrued
but not collected is reversed against current year interest
income. Interest income on non-accrual loans is recognized only
if received, if considered appropriate by management. Loans are
removed from non-accrual status when they become current as to
principal and interest or when, in the opinion of management,
the loans are expected to be fully collectible as to principal
and interest.
The Bank accounts for fees and costs associated with loan
originations in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 91, "Accounting for
Nonrefundable Fees and Costs Associated with Originating and
Acquiring Loans and Initial Direct Costs of Leases."
In accordance with SFAS No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for
Impairment of a Loan," as amended by SFAS No. 118, "Accounting
by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan - Income Recognition and
Disclosures," a loan (generally commercial-type loans) is
considered impaired when it is probable that the borrower will
not make principal and interest payments according to the
original contractual terms of the loan agreement, or when a loan
(of any loan type) is restructured in a troubled debt
restructuring subsequent to the adoption of these Statements.
These Statements prescribe recognition criteria for loan
impairment, generally related to commercial type loans, and
measurement methods for impaired loans. Impaired loans are
included in non-performing loans, generally as non-accrual
commercial-type loans.
The allowance for loan losses related to impaired loans is based on
the discounted cash flows using the loan's initial effective
rate or the fair value of the collateral for certain loans where
repayment of the loan is expected to be provided solely by the
underlying collateral (collateral dependent loans). The Bank's
impaired loans are generally collateral dependent. The Bank
considers estimated costs to sell, on a discounted basis, when
determining the fair value of collateral in the measurement of
impairment if those costs are expected to reduce the cash flows
available to repay or otherwise satisfy the loans.

THE HUDSON CITY SAVINGS INSTITUTION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Continued
(g)Allowance for Loan Losses
-------------------------
The allowance for loan losses is replenished through a provision for
loan losses charged to operations. Loans are charged against the
allowance for loan losses when management believes that the
collectibility of the principal is unlikely. Recoveries on loans
previously charged-off are credited to the allowance for loan
losses. The allowance is an amount that management believes will
be adequate to absorb losses on existing loans that may become
uncollectible. Management's evaluation of the adequacy of the
allowance for loan losses is performed on a periodic basis and
takes into consideration such factors as the historical loan
loss experience, changes in the nature and volume of the loan
portfolio, overall portfolio quality, review of specific problem
loans and current economic conditions that may affect borrowers'
ability to pay.
(h)Loans Held for Sale
-------------------
Loans are classified as held for investment purposes or held for
sale when the Bank enters into interest rate lock agreements
with the potential borrowers. Loans held for sale are recorded
at the lower of aggregate cost or fair value. Gains and losses
on the disposition of loans held for sale are determined on the
specific identification method. Loans held for sale at March 31,
1998 and 1997 was comprised of residental mortgage loans.
(i)Premises and Equipment
----------------------
Premises and equipment are carried at cost, less accumulated
depreciation. Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis
over the estimated useful lives of the assets (up to fifty years
for buildings and generally five years for furniture and
equipment). Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the
shorter of the term of the related leases or the estimated
useful lives of the assets.
(j)Other Real Estate Owned and Repossessed Property
------------------------------------------------
Other real estate owned, comprised of real estate acquired through
foreclosure and in-substance foreclosures, and repossessed
property are recorded at the lower of "cost" (defined as the
fair value at initial foreclosure) or fair value of the asset
acquired, less estimated costs to dispose of the property. A
loan is categorized as an in-substance foreclosure when the Bank
has taken possession of the collateral, regardless of whether
formal foreclosure proceedings have taken place. At the time of
foreclosure, or when foreclosure occurs in-substance, the
excess, if any, of the loan value over the fair value of the
property received is charged to the allowance for loan losses.
Subsequent declines in the value of such property and net
operating expenses of such properties are charged directly to
other operating expenses. Properties are reappraised, as
considered necessary by management, and written down to the fair
value less the estimated cost to sell the property, if
necessary. Repossessed property consists primarily of
manufactured homes abandoned by their owners or repossessed by
the Bank.

THE HUDSON CITY SAVINGS INSTITUTION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Continued
(k)Income Taxes
------------
The Bank accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes". Under the asset and liability
method of SFAS No. 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are
recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to
differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of
existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.
Deferred tax assets are recognized subject to management's
judgment that those assets will more likely than not be
realized. A valuation allowance is recognized if, based on an
analysis of available evidence, management believes that all or
a portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
Adjustments to increase or decrease the valuation allowance are
charged or credited, respectively, to income tax expense.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted
tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in
which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered
or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of
a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that
includes the enactment date.
(l)Statutory Transfer of Surplus
-----------------------------
A required quarterly transfer of 10% of net income is made to
surplus in accordance with New York State Banking Regulations.
No transfer is required if total equity as a percent of deposits
exceeds 10% at the end of each quarter. In accordance with State
of New York Banking Law, surplus is subject to certain
restrictions, including a prohibition of its use for payment of
dividends, except with the approval of the Superintendent of
Banks.
(m)Financial Instruments
---------------------
In the normal course of business, the Bank is a party to certain
financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk such as
commitments to extend credit, unused lines of credit and standby
letters of credit. The Bank's policy is to record such
instruments when funded.
(n)Trust Department Assets and Service Fees
----------------------------------------
Assets held by the Bank in a fiduciary or agency capacity for its
customers are not included in the consolidated balance sheets
since these items are not assets of the Bank. Trust service fees
are reported on the accrual basis.
(o)Reclassifications
-----------------
Amounts in the prior years' consolidated financial statements are
reclassified whenever necessary to conform with the current
year's presentation.
(2) Acquisition Activity
--------------------
On December 20, 1995, The Hudson City Savings Institution acquired all of
the assets and assumed all of the liabilities of Valatie Savings and
Loan Association. This transaction was accounted for as a
pooling-of-interests and resulted in an increase in equity of
$561,000. Amounts related to this transaction are not material.

further credit to borrowers with non-performing loans.
Accumulated interest on non-accrual loans, as shown above, of
approximately $599,000 and $586,000, was not recognized in interest
income during the years ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
Approximately $920,000 and $937,000 of interest on non-accrual loans,
as shown above, was collected and recognized in interest income during
the years ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Accumulated
interest on non-accrual loans, as shown above, not recognized in
interest income and collected and recognized in interest income for

In addition to the deferred tax assets and liabilities described above,
the Bank had a deferred tax asset of $3,000 and $232,000 at March 31,
1998 and 1997, respectively, related to the net unrealized loss on
securities available for sale.
The valuation allowance, as established by the Bank at March 31, 1998
and 1997, takes into consideration the nature and timing of the
deferred tax asset items, as well as the amount of available open tax
carrybacks. The valuation allowance relates to the Bank's New York
State net deferred tax asset, which is a component of deferred tax
assets, due to the lack of carryback and carryforward provisions
available in New York State, as well as uncertainty about the
realization of certain Federal deferred tax items. Based on recent
historical and anticipated future taxable income, management believes
it is more likely than not that the Company will realize its net
deferred tax assets.
As a thrift institution, the Bank is subject to special provisions in the
Federal and New York State tax laws regarding its allowable tax bad
debt deductions and related tax bad debt reserves. These deductions
historically have been determined using methods based on loss
experience or a percentage of taxable income. Tax bad debt reserves
are maintained equal to the excess of allowable deductions over actual
bad debt losses and other reserve reductions. These reserves consist
of a defined base-year amount, plus additional amounts ("excess
reserves") accumulated after the base year. SFAS No. 109 requires
recognition of deferred tax liabilities with respect to such excess
reserves, as well as any portion of the base-year amount which is
expected to become taxable (or "recaptured") in the foreseeable
future.
Certain amendments to the Federal and New York State tax laws regarding
bad debt deductions were enacted in July and August 1996. The Federal
amendments include elimination of the percentage of taxable income
method for tax years beginning after December 31, 1995, and imposition
of a requirement to recapture into taxable income (over a period of
approximately six years) the tax bad debt reserves in excess of the
base-year amounts. The Bank previously established, and will continue
to maintain, a deferred tax liability with respect to such excess
Federal reserves. The New York State amendments redesignate the Bank's
state tax bad debt reserves at December 31, 1995 as the base-year
amount and also provide for future additions to the base-year reserve
using the percentage of taxable income method.
In accordance with SFAS No. 109, deferred tax liabilities have not been
recognized with respect to the Federal base-year reserve of $2.7
million and "supplemental" reserve (as defined) of $10.3 million at
both March 31 1998 and 1997, and the state base-year reserve of $18.3
million at both March 31, 1998 and 1997, since the Bank does not
expect that these amounts will become taxable in the foreseeable
future. Under New York State tax law, as amended, events that would
result in taxation of these reserves include the failure of the Bank
to maintain a specified qualifying assets ratio or meet other thrift
<PAGE>
THE HUDSON CITY SAVINGS INSTITUTION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Continued
definition tests for tax purposes. The unrecognized deferred tax
liability at both March 31, 1998 and 1997 with respect to the Federal
base-year reserve and supplemental reserve was $933,000 and $3.5
million, respectively. The unrecognized deferred tax liability at both
March 31, 1998 and 1997 with respect to the state base-year reserve
was $1.1 million (net of Federal benefit).
(12) Employee Benefit Plans
----------------------
The Bank maintains a non-contributory pension plan with Retirement
Systems Incorporated (RSI) Retirement Trust, covering substantially
all of its employees meeting certain eligibility requirements. The
benefits are computed as a percentage of the highest three year
average annual earnings, as defined by the Plan, multiplied by years
of credited service. The Plan limits credited service for benefit
calculations to a maximum of thirty years. The amounts contributed to
the plan are determined annually on the basis of (a) the maximum
amount that can be deducted for federal income tax purposes or (b) the
amount certified by a consulting actuary as necessary to avoid an
accumulated funding deficiency as defined by the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974. Contributions are intended to provide not
only for benefits attributed to service to date but also those
expected to be earned in the future. Plan assets consist primarily of
investments in RSI Retirement Trust administered fixed-income and
equity funds.
The following table sets forth the Plan's funded status and amounts

In addition, the Bank provides a defined benefit postretirement plan
which provides medical and life insurance benefits to substantially
all employees, as well as dental benefits to a closed group of
retirees. The Bank accounts for postretirement benefits other than
pensions in accordance with SFAS No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for
Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions." Under SFAS No. 106, the
cost of postretirement benefits other than pensions must be recognized
on an accrual basis as employees perform services to earn the
benefits.
Active employees are eligible for retiree medical and life insurance
coverage upon reaching age 55 with 10 years of service. The medical
portion of the plan is contributory, with retiree contributions based
on years of service and their retirement date. The Bank's
contributions for employees retiring on or after September 1, 1995 are
limited to 150% of the premium rates in effect at the time of
retirement. The life insurance portion of the plan is
non-contributory, with the preretirement benefit equal to two times
annual earnings. The postretirement life insurance benefit is reduced
based on the retiree's age and the length of time since retirement,
with a maximum retiree benefit of $50,000. Postretirement dental
coverage is in effect for a closed group of retirees. The dental
portion of the plan is non-contributory. The funding policy of the
plan is to pay claims and/or insurance premiums as they come due.

</TABLE>
The discount rate used in determining the accumulated postretirement
benefit obligation was 7.00% and 7.75% at March 31, 1998 and 1997,
respectively.
For measurement purposes, a 7.00% annual rate of increase in the per
capita cost of covered health benefits was assumed for medical
coverage starting in 1998; the rate was assumed to decrease uniformly
to 5.00% by 2002 and to remain at that level thereafter. A 3.00%
annual rate of increase in the per capita cost of covered dental
benefits was assumed for dental coverage. The medical and dental care
cost trend rate assumptions have a significant effect on the amounts
reported. To illustrate, increasing the assumed medical and dental
care cost trend rates by one percentage point in each year would
increase the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation as of March
31, 1998 by $246,000 and the aggregate of the service and interest
cost for the year ended March 31, 1998 would increase by $21,000.

The Bank also sponsors a defined contribution 401(k) plan covering
substantially all employees meeting certain eligibility requirements.
The Bank matches 50% of employee pre-tax contributions up to a maximum
contribution by the Bank of 4% of the employee's annual salary. The
amount of 401(k) contribution expense was $126,000, $117,000 and
$100,000 for the years ended March 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996,
respectively.
(13) Regulatory Capital
------------------
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) regulations require banks to
maintain a minimum leverage ratio of Tier 1 capital to total adjusted
quarterly average assets of 4.0%, and minimum ratios of Tier 1 capital
and total capital to risk-weighted assets of 4.0% and 8.0%,
respectively.
Under its prompt corrective action regulations, the FDIC is required to
take certain supervisory actions (and may take additional
discretionary actions) with respect to an undercapitalized bank. Such
actions could have a direct material effect on a bank's financial
statements. The regulations establish a framework for the
classification of banks into five categories: well capitalized,
adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly
undercapitalized, and critically undercapitalized. Generally, a bank
is considered well capitalized if it has a Tier 1 capital ratio of at
least 5.0% (based on total adjusted quarterly average assets); a Tier
1 risk-based capital ratio of at least 6.0%; and a total risk-based
capital ratio of at least 10.0%.
The foregoing capital ratios are based in part on specific quantitative
measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items
as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts
and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the
regulators about capital components, risk weightings, and other
factors.
Management believes that, as of March 31, 1998 and 1997, the Bank met all
capital adequacy requirements to which it was subject. Further, the
most recent FDIC notification categorized the Bank as a well
capitalized institution under the prompt corrective action
regulations. There have been no conditions or events since the
notification that management believes have changed the Bank's capital
classification.

(14) Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
--------------------------------------
(a)Off-Balance-Sheet Financing and Concentrations of Credit
--------------------------------------------------------
The Bank is a party to certain financial instruments with
off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet
the financing needs of its customers. These financial
instruments include the Bank's commitments to extend credit.
Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of
credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the
consolidated financial statements. The contract amounts of those
instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Bank has in
particular classes of financial instruments.
<PAGE>
THE HUDSON CITY SAVINGS INSTITUTION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Continued
The Bank's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by
the other party to the commitments to extend credit is
represented by the contractual notional amount of those
instruments. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making
commitments as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.
Unless otherwise noted, the Bank does not require collateral or
other security to support financial instruments with credit
risk.
Contract amounts of financial instruments that represent credit risk
as of March 31 at fixed and variable interest rates, are as

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as
long as there is no violation of any condition established in
the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates
or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee.
Since certain commitments are expected to expire without being
fully drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not
necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Bank
evaluates each customer's creditworthiness on a case-by-case
basis. The amount of collateral, if any, required by the Bank
upon the extension of credit is based on management's credit
evaluation of the customer.
Commitments to extend credit may be written on a fixed rate basis
exposing the Bank to interest rate risk given the possibility
that market rates may change between commitment and actual
extension of credit.
<PAGE>
THE HUDSON CITY SAVINGS INSTITUTION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Continued
Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the
Bank to guarantee payment on behalf of a customer and guarantee
the performance of a customer to a third party. The credit risk
involved in issuing these instruments is essentially the same as
that involved in extending loans to customers. Since a portion
of these instruments will expire unused, the total amounts do
not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Each
customer is evaluated individually for creditworthiness under
the same underwriting standards used for commitments to extend
credit and on-balance sheet instruments. Bank policies governing
loan collateral apply to standby letters of credit at the time
of credit extension.
Certain mortgage loans are written on an adjustable basis and
include interest rate caps which limit annual and lifetime
increases in the interest rates on such loans. Generally,
adjustable rate mortgages have an annual rate increase cap of 2%
and lifetime rate increase cap of 5% to 6%. These caps expose
the Bank to interest rate risk should market rates increase
above these limits. As of March 31, 1998 and 1997, approximately
$185.4 million and $202.2 million, respectively, of mortgage
loans had interest rate caps.
The Bank generally enters into rate lock agreements at the time that
residential mortgage loan applications are taken. These rate
lock agreements fix the interest rate at which the loan, if
ultimately made, will be originated. Such agreements may exist
with borrowers with whom commitments to extend loans have been
made, as well as with individuals who have not yet received a
commitment. The Bank makes its determination of whether or not
to identify a loan as held for sale at the time rate lock
agreements are entered into. Accordingly, the Bank is exposed to
interest rate risk to the extent that a rate lock agreement is
associated with a loan application or a loan commitment which is
intended to be held for sale, as well as with respect to loans
held for sale.
At March 31, 1998 and 1997, the Bank had rate lock agreements
(certain of which relate to loan applications for which no
formal commitment has been made) and conventional mortgage loans
held for sale amounting to approximately $1.4 million and
$300,000, respectively.
In order to reduce the interest rate risk associated with the
portfolio of conventional mortgage loans held for sale, as well
as outstanding loan commitments and uncommitted loan
applications with rate lock agreements which are intended to be
held for sale, the Bank enters into agreements to sell loans in
the secondary market to unrelated investors on a loan by loan
basis. At, March 31, 1998 and 1997, the Bank had commitments to
sell conventional fixed rate mortgage loans amounting to
approximately $1.2 million and $216,000, respectively. The
remaining conventional mortgage loans held for sale, as well as
the outstanding loan commitments and uncommitted loan
applications with rate lock agreements which are intended to be
held for sale, exposed the Bank to interest rate risk.

(b)Concentrations of Credit
------------------------
The Bank originates residential loans (including home equity and
construction loans) and commercial-related loans primarily to
customers located in the New York State counties of Columbia,
Albany, Rensselaer, Dutchess and Schenectady. Manufactured home
loans are originated primarily in New York State and in states
contiguous to New York. Financed insurance premiums are
originated primarily in New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
Although the Bank has a diversified loan portfolio, a
substantial portion of its debtors' ability to honor their
contracts is dependent upon economic conditions in these areas.
(c)Leases
------
The Bank leases certain of its branches and equipment under various
noncancelable operating leases. The future minimum payments by
year and in the aggregate under all significant noncancelable
operating leases with initial or remaining terms of one year or
more as of March 31, 1998 are as follows:

The total amount of loans serviced by the Bank for unrelated third
parties was approximately $61.7 million and $67.7 million at
March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
(e)Reserve Requirement
-------------------
The Bank is required to maintain certain reserves of vault cash
and/or deposits with the Federal Reserve Bank. The amount of
this reserve requirement, included in cash and due from banks,
was approximately $388,000 and $3.8 million at March 31, 1998
and 1997, respectively.
(f)Contingent Liabilities
----------------------
In the ordinary course of business there are various legal
proceedings pending against the Bank. Based on consultation with
outside counsel, management considers that the aggregate
exposure, if any, arising from such litigation would not have a
material adverse effect on the Bank's consolidated financial
statements.
<PAGE>
THE HUDSON CITY SAVINGS INSTITUTION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Continued
(15) Borrowing Arrangements
----------------------
The Bank has two lines of credit, expiring in October 1998, which are
available with the FHLB of New York. The first is an overnight line of
credit for approximately $32.6 million with interest based on existing
market conditions. The second is a one-month overnight repricing line
of credit for approximately $32.6 million with interest based on
existing market conditions. There were no amounts outstanding on these
lines at March 31, 1998. There was approximately $12.6 million
outstanding under the overnight line of credit at March 31, 1997,
which carried an interest rate of 6.88%. There were no amounts
outstanding under the one-month overnight repricing line of credit at
March 31, 1997. At March 31, 1998, the Bank had $2.0 million in
short-term borrowings from the FHLB of New York in the form of an
advance which comes due in August 1998 and carries an interest rate of
5.88%. Borrowings from the FHLB of New York are secured by a blanket
lien on all assets of the Bank, including FHLB stock.
(16) Disclosures About the Fair Value of Financial Instruments
---------------------------------------------------------
SFAS No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,"
requires that the Bank disclose estimated fair values for its
financial instruments. The definition of a financial instrument
includes many of the assets and liabilities recognized in the Bank's
consolidated balance sheets, as well as certain off-balance sheet
items.
Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on
relevant market information and information about the financial
instrument. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount
that could result from offering for sale at one time the Bank's entire
holdings of a particular financial instrument. Because no market
exists for a significant portion of the Bank's financial instruments,
fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding future expected
net cash flows, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of
various financial instruments and other factors. These estimates are
subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of
significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with
precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the
estimates.
Fair value estimates are based on existing on- and off-balance sheet
financial instruments without attempting to estimate the value of
anticipated future business and the value of assets and liabilities
that are not considered financial instruments. In addition, the tax
ramifications related to the realization of the unrealized gains and
losses can have a significant effect on fair value estimates and have
not been considered in the estimates of fair value under SFAS No. 107.
In addition there are significant intangible assets that SFAS No. 107
does not recognize, such as the value of "core deposits," the Bank's
branch network and other items generally referred to as "goodwill."
<PAGE>
THE HUDSON CITY SAVINGS INSTITUTION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Continued
Short-Term Financial Instruments
--------------------------------
The fair value of certain financial instruments is estimated to
approximate their carrying value because the remaining term to
maturity or period to repricing of the financial instrument is less
than 90 days. Such financial instruments include cash and cash
equivalents, accrued interest receivable, short-term borrowings and
accrued interest payable.
Loans Held for Sale
-------------------
The estimated fair value of loans held for sale is based on quoted market
rates or, in the case where a firm commitment has been made to sell
the loan, the firm committed price.
Securities Available for Sale and Investment Securities
-------------------------------------------------------
Securities available for sale and investment securities are financial
instruments which are usually traded in broad markets. Fair values are
generally based upon market prices. If a quoted market price is not
available for a particular security, the fair value is determined by
reference to quoted market prices for securities with similar
characteristics.
Federal Home Loan Bank of New York Stock
----------------------------------------
The estimated fair value of stock in the Federal Home Loan Bank of New
York equals the carrying value since the stock is non-marketable but
redeemable at its par value.
Loans
-----
Fair values are estimated for portfolios of loans with similar financial
characteristics. Loans are segregated by type including residential
real estate, commercial real estate, other commercial loans and
consumer loans. The estimated fair value of performing loans is
calculated by discounting scheduled cash flows through the estimated
maturity using estimated market discount rates that reflect the credit
and interest rate risk inherent in the respective loan portfolio.
Estimated fair value for non-performing loans is based on estimated cash
flows discounted using a rate commensurate with the risk associated
with the estimated cash flows. Assumptions regarding credit risk, cash
flows and discount rates are judgmentally determined using available
market information and specific borrower information.
Management has made estimates of fair value discount rates that it
believes to be reasonable. However, because there is no market for
many of these financial instruments, management has no basis to
determine whether the estimated fair value would be indicative of the
value negotiated in an actual sale.
Deposit Liabilities
-------------------
The estimated fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, such as
savings, N.O.W., money market, non-interest bearing accounts and
mortgagors' escrow deposits, is regarded to be the amount payable on
demand. The estimated fair value of time deposit accounts is based on
the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The discount rate is
estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar
<PAGE>
THE HUDSON CITY SAVINGS INSTITUTION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Continued
remaining maturities. The fair value estimates for deposits do not
include the benefit that results from the low-cost funding provided by
the deposit liabilities as compared to the cost of borrowing funds in
the market.
Urban Development Action Grant Payable
--------------------------------------
Based on the terms of the grant agreement and rates currently available
under similar programs, the estimated fair value of the Urban
Development Action Grant payable approximated its carrying value at
March 31, 1997.
The carrying values and estimated fair values of financial assets and
liabilities as of March 31 were as follows:

The fair value of commitments to extend credit, unused lines of credit
and standby letters of credit is estimated using the fees currently
charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the
remaining terms of the agreements and the present credit worthiness of
the counterparties. For fixed rate commitments to extend credit and
unused lines of credit, fair value also considers the difference
between current levels of interest rates and the committed rates.
Based upon the estimated fair value of commitments to extend credit,
unused lines of credit and standby letters of credit, there are no
significant unrealized gains or losses associated with these financial
instruments.
(17) Adoption of Plan of Conversion
------------------------------
On November 20, 1997, as amended on February 19, 1998, the Board of
Trustees of the Bank, subject to regulatory approval and approval by
members of the Bank, unanimously adopted a Plan of Conversion (the
Plan) to convert from a New York State chartered mutual savings bank
to a New York State chartered stock savings bank with the concurrent
formation of a holding company. The conversion is expected to be
accomplished through amendment of the Bank charter and the sale of the
holding company's common stock in an amount equal to the pro forma
market value of the Bank after giving effect to the conversion. A
subscription offering of the sale of the holding company's common
stock will be offered initially to the Bank's depositors, then to
other members and trustees, officers and employees of the Bank. Any
shares of the holding company's common stock not sold in the
subscription offering will be offered for sale to the general public
in the Bank's market area.
At the time of conversion, the Bank will establish a liquidation account
in an amount equal to its total equity as of the date of the latest
consolidated balance sheet appearing in the final prospectus. The
liquidation account will be maintained for the benefit of eligible
depositors who continue to maintain their accounts at the Bank after
the conversion. The liquidation account will be reduced annually to
the extent that eligible depositors have reduced their qualifying
deposits. Subsequent increases will not restore an eligible account
holder's interest in the liquidation account. In the event of a
complete liquidation, each eligible depositor will be entitled to
receive a distribution from the liquidation account in an amount
proportionate to the current adjusted qualifying balances for accounts
then held. The Bank may not pay dividends that would reduce
stockholders' equity below the required liquidation account balance.
Conversion costs will be deferred and deducted from the proceeds of the
shares sold in the conversion. If the conversion is not completed, all
costs will be charged to expense. As of March 31, 1998, approximately
$614,000 of conversion costs had been deferred.
Pursuant to the Plan, the holding company intends to establish a
Charitable Foundation (the Foundation) in connection with the
conversion. The Plan provides that the Bank and the holding company
will create the Foundation immediately following the conversion by
contributing holding company common stock in an amount equal to 3.0%
of the total amount of common stock sold in the conversion. The
Foundation is being formed as a complement to the Bank's existing
community activities and will be dedicated to community activities and
the promotion of charitable causes.

THE HUDSON CITY SAVINGS INSTITUTION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Continued
The Foundation will submit a request to the Internal Revenue Service to
be recognized as a tax-exempt organization and will likely be
classified as a private foundation. A contribution of common stock to
the Foundation by the holding company would be tax deductible, subject
to an annual limitation based on 10% of the holding company's annual
taxable income. The holding company, however, would be able to carry
forward any unused portion of the deduction for five years following
the contribution. Upon funding the Foundation, the holding company
will recognize an expense in the full amount of the contribution,
offset in part by the corresponding tax benefit, during the quarter in
which the contribution is made.
In connection with the conversion, the Bank has approved the adoption of
an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). It is anticipated that the
ESOP will be initially funded with a loan from the holding company.
The proceeds from this loan are expected to be used by the ESOP to
purchase 8% of the common stock issued in the conversion, including
shares issued to the Foundation.
