          NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

         1. The accompanying unaudited consolidated interim financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted  accounting  principles
for interim  financial  information  and with the  instructions to Form 10-Q and
Rule  10-01 of  Regulation  S-X.  Accordingly,  they do not  include  all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted  accounting  principles
for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
(consisting solely of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair
presentation have been included. The accompanying unaudited consolidated interim
financial  statements  should be read in conjunction  with the Company's  Annual
Report  on Form 10-K as of and for the year  ended  March  31,  1999.  Operating
results  for the three  month  period  ended June 30,  1999 are not  necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.

         2. On April 1, 1998, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income."
This statement  establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive
income and its components. Comprehensive income includes the reported net income
of a company  adjusted for certain  items that are  currently  accounted  for as
direct  entries to equity,  such as the mark to market  adjustment on securities
available  for sale,  foreign  currency  items  and  minimum  pension  liability
adjustments.  At the Company,  comprehensive  income  represents net income plus
other comprehensive income, which consists of the net change in unrealized gains
or  losses  on  securities  available  for  sale  for  the  period,  net of tax.
Accumulated  other  comprehensive  income represents the net unrealized gains or
losses on  securities  available  for sale,  net of tax, as of the balance sheet
dates.  Comprehensive  (loss)  income for the three month periods ended June 30,
1999 and 1998 was $(122) thousand and $1.1 million, respectively.

         3. The  following  table sets forth certain  information  regarding the
calculation  of basic and diluted  earnings per share for the three month period
ended June 30, 1999.  Earnings per share information for periods ending prior to
the Company's  initial public offering on July 1, 1998 is not applicable.  Basic
earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the  weighted-average
number of common  shares  outstanding  during the period.  Shares of  restricted
stock are not considered  outstanding  for the calculation of basic earnings per
share until they become fully vested.  Diluted earnings per share is computed in
a  manner  similar  to  that  of  basic  earnings  per  share  except  that  the
weighted-average number of common shares outstanding is increased to include the
number of  additional  common  shares  that would have been  outstanding  if all
potentially   dilutive  common  shares  (such  as  stock  options  and  unvested
restricted  stock) were issued during the reporting period.  Unallocated  common
shares held by the Company's  Employee Stock  Ownership Plan are not included in
the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for either the basic or
diluted earnings per share calculations.

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

GENERAL
- -------

         The financial review which follows focuses on the factors affecting the
consolidated  financial  condition  and results of  operations  of Hudson  River
Bancorp,  Inc. and subsidiary (the "Company") during the three months ended June
30, 1999,  with  comparisons to 1998 as applicable.  The unaudited  consolidated
interim  financial  statements  and  related  notes,  as well as the 1999 Annual
Report to Shareholders  should be read in conjunction with this review.  Amounts
in prior period  consolidated  financial  statements are  reclassified  whenever
necessary to conform to the current period's presentation.

         On  July 1,  1998,  Hudson  River  Bank & Trust  Company  (the  "Bank")
completed its conversion from a New York chartered  mutual savings bank to a New
York  chartered  stock  savings  bank (the  "Conversion").  Concurrent  with the
Conversion,  Hudson River Bancorp, Inc. completed its initial public offering of
common stock,  receiving  approximately $173.3 million in gross proceeds ($170.0
million  net of offering  expenses)  in exchange  for  17,333,738  shares of its
common stock.  An additional  520,012  common shares were  contributed to Hudson
River  Bank & Trust  Company  Foundation.  The  Company  used a  portion  of the
proceeds to purchase all of the common  stock of the Bank.  Prior to the initial
public  offering,  Hudson  River  Bancorp,  Inc.  had no results of  operations,
therefore  results of operations prior to July 1, 1998 reflect the operations of
the Bank.

         The  Company's  primary  market area,  with 13  full-service  branches,
consists of the New York counties of Columbia,  Rensselaer, Albany, Schenectady,
and  Dutchess.  The  Company  has  been,  and  intends  to  continue  to  be,  a
community-oriented   financial  institution  offering  a  variety  of  financial
services. The Company's principal business is attracting deposits from customers
within its market area and investing  those funds in primarily  loans,  and to a
lesser extent, in marketable  securities.  The financial condition and operating
results of the Company are  dependent  on its net  interest  income which is the
difference  between the interest and dividend  income earned on its assets,  and
the interest expense paid on its liabilities,  primarily  consisting of deposits
and  borrowings.  Net income is also affected by provisions  for loan losses and
other  operating  income,  such as loan  servicing  income  and fees on  deposit
related  services;  it is also  impacted by other  operating  expenses,  such as
compensation and occupancy expenses and Federal and state income taxes.

         The  Company's  results of  operations  are  significantly  affected by
general  economic and  competitive  conditions  (particularly  changes in market
interest  rates),  government  policies,  changes in  accounting  standards  and
actions of regulatory agencies.  Future changes in applicable laws,  regulations
or  government  policies  may have a  material  impact on the  Company.  Lending
activities are substantially influenced by the demand for and supply of housing,
competition  among lenders,  the level of interest rates and the availability of
funds.  The ability to gather  deposits and the cost of funds are  influenced by
prevailing market interest rates, fees and terms on deposit products, as well as
the availability of alternative investments, including mutual funds and stocks.

MERGER AND ACQUISITION ACTIVITY
- -------------------------------

         On May 17, 1999 the Company  entered  into a  definitive  agreement  to
acquire  SFS  Bancorp,  Inc.  ("SFS")  for  $25.10 in cash for each share of SFS
common stock outstanding. The total consideration is valued at approximately $32
million.  The  transaction  will be accounted  for under the purchase  method of
accounting  and is  anticipated to be accretive to earnings in the first year of
operations after consummation of the transaction. The transaction is expected to
close in the Company's  second  fiscal  quarter  subject to  regulatory  and SFS
shareholder  approval.  SFS had total  assets of $176.1  million as of March 31,
1999 and operates four branches within Schenectady County.

OVERVIEW
- --------

         The Company  realized  net income for the three  months  ended June 30,
1999  amounting to $2.1 million,  up $1.1 million from the $986 thousand  earned
during the three months ended June 30, 1998. The increase was primarily a result
of higher net interest  income (up $2.7 million) and a lower  provision for loan
losses (down $516 thousand), partially offset by higher other operating expenses
(up $1.6 million) and higher income tax expense (up $470 thousand).  The Company
earned $.13 per share for the three months ended June 30, 1999 and its return on
average assets was .95%, up from .54% for the comparable  period a year earlier.
The Company's return on average equity was 3.82% for the three months ended June
30, 1999, down from 5.71% for the three months ended June 30, 1998. See Table A,
"Financial Highlights".

ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT
- --------------------------

         The Company attempts to maximize net interest  income,  and net income,
while actively managing its liquidity and interest rate sensitivity  through the
mix of various core deposits and other sources of funds,  which in turn, fund an
appropriate  mix of earning  assets.  The changes in the Company's asset mix and
sources of funds,  and the resultant impact on net interest income are discussed
below.

Earning Assets

         Total average earning assets  increased to $837.1 million for the three
months ended June 30, 1999,  up from $703.0  million in 1998.  This increase was
primarily funded by the Company's initial public offering. Interest and dividend
income for the three  months  ended  June 30,  1999 was $16.8  million,  up $1.8
million from 1998.  The increase in average  balances was the primary reason for
this increase,  offset by lower yields on these assets,  8.06% in 1999 down from
8.59% in 1998.  Earning  assets  at June 30,  1999  were  $840.9  million,  down
slightly from $847.1 million at March 31, 1999.

Loans

         The average  balance of loans increased to $590.5 million for the three
months ended June 30, 1999, up $76.4 million from the $514.1 million  average in
the prior year. The yield on loans decreased 64 basis points, from 9.42% in 1998
to 8.78% in 1999.  Interest  income on loans  increased to $12.9 million for the
three  months  ended June 30, 1999 from $12.1  million in 1998.  The increase in
average  balances  resulted in a $1.7 million  increase in interest income which
was  partially  offset by an $853  thousand  decrease in interest  income due to
lower rates.

                                  (continued)

         Total loans were $603.8 million at June 30, 1999, up $25.7 million from
the $578.1 million at March 31, 1999.  Loans secured by residential  real estate
increased  from $295.5  million,  or 51.1% of total loans at March 31, 1999,  to
$311.6 million, or 51.6% of total loans at June 30, 1999. Commercial real estate
loans  increased  $12.9  million to $104.4  million at June 30,  1999 from $91.5
million at March 31, 1999.  Commercial  loans increased to $33.0 million at June
30, 1999 from $29.0 million at March 31, 1999.  These  increases  were offset by
decreases  of $2.3  million in  manufactured  housing  loans and $8.1 million in
financed insurance premium loans. Management intends on continuing to reduce the
portfolio  of  manufactured  housing  loans  gradually  through  normal  paydown
activity  while it continues its focus on commercial  real estate and commercial
lending,  as well as  residential  lending.  The decrease in financed  insurance
premiums is a seasonal  fluctuation  as the majority of this business is written
during the quarter  ending March 31 and is paid down over the  subsequent  three
quarters. See Table D, "Loan Portfolio Analysis".

Securities

         The average  balance of securities  available  for sale and  securities
held to maturity (collectively  "securities") increased $112.6 million to $243.2
million for the three months ended June 30, 1999, up from $130.6 million for the
three  months  ended June 30, 1998.  This  increase  was a direct  result of the
Company's initial public offering. Interest income earned on securities was $3.8
million in 1999,  up $1.7  million  from the $2.1  million  earned in 1998.  The
growth in the  average  balances  of  securities  resulted  in the  increase  in
interest and dividend  income while the  fluctuations  in average  rates did not
have a significant impact.

         Securities  at June 30, 1999 were $233.8  million,  down $31.9  million
from the $265.7  million the Company held as of March 31, 1999. The decrease was
almost   entirely  due  to  calls,   maturities   and  paydowns  of  securities.
Reinvestment  of the proceeds were  primarily  directed to the loan portfolio to
accommodate  the  growth  experienced  in that  asset  category.  Management  is
continuing to allow the balance of securities  held to maturity to decrease with
new  purchases  of  securities  directed to the  securities  available  for sale
classification.

Federal Funds Sold and Securities Purchased Under Agreements to Resell

         The  average  balance of federal  funds sold and  securities  purchased
under agreements to resell was $55.2 million for the three months ended June 30,
1998,  generating  $792  thousand in interest  income for that time period.  The
Company had no federal funds sold or securities  purchased  under  agreements to
resell  during the quarter  ended June 30, 1999 as these asset  categories  were
reinvested in the higher  yielding  loan and  securities  portfolios  during the
latter stages of the year ended March 31, 1999.  For the immediate  future,  the
Company  does not  anticipate  utilizing  this asset  category  for  significant
investments other than on a temporary basis as market conditions warrant.

Funding Sources

         The Company utilizes traditional deposit products such as time, savings
and N.O.W. and money market deposits as its primary source for funding, however,
other sources such as short-term borrowings are utilized as necessary to support
the  Company's  growth  in  assets  and to  achieve  interest  rate  sensitivity
objectives.  The average balance of  interest-bearing  liabilities  decreased to
$595.9  million for the three months ended June 30, 1999 from $626.3 million for
<PAGE>
                           Hudson River Bancorp, Inc.
                      Management's Discussion and Analysis
                                  (continued)

the three months ended June 30, 1998. This overall decrease in  interest-bearing
liabilities is attributed to the Company's  initial public offering which raised
$170  million in net  proceeds  as well as an  increase  in  noninterest-bearing
liabilities from $35.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 1998 to $42.4
million in 1999. This decrease in average balances,  as well as a decline in the
average  rates  paid on  interest-bearing  liabilities  from 4.59% for the three
months  ended June 30, 1998 to 4.20% in 1999,  resulted in a decline in interest
expense to $6.2 million in 1999, down from $7.2 million in 1998.

         Interest-bearing  liabilities at June 30, 1999 were $604.4 million,  up
from $580.2 million at March 31, 1999. This increase was a result of the need to
fund the growth in assets of the Company, primarily in the loan portfolio.

Deposits

         The average  balance of savings  accounts  decreased  $51.1  million to
$146.2  million  for the three  months  ended June 30,  1999,  down from  $197.3
million  for  the  same  period  in  1998.  This  decrease  is due to the  stock
subscriptions  received  in the prior year  relating  to the  Company's  initial
public  offering,  which  temporarily  increased  deposits.  Interest expense on
savings accounts decreased from $1.7 million for the three months ended June 30,
1998 to $1.1 million in 1999. The decrease in the average balance  resulted in a
$403  thousand  decrease  in  interest  expense  for 1999,  while the decline in
average  rates paid from 3.46% to 3.02%  resulted in the  remainder of the total
decrease in interest expense for 1999.

         The average balance of time deposits  decreased from $319.4 million for
the three  months  ended June 30, 1998 to $301.9  million  for the three  months
ended June 30, 1999.  Interest expense on time deposits declined a total of $758
thousand  in 1999 as compared  to 1998.  In addition to the  decrease in average
balances,  lower  average rates paid on time deposits of 5.19% in 1999 down from
5.85% in 1998 contributed to the reduction in interest expense.

         Total  deposits,   including   $47.2  million  of   noninterest-bearing
deposits,  were $598.7  million at June 30, 1999, up from $591.8  million ($44.0
million of noninterest-bearing deposits) at March 31, 1999. These increases were
a result of the  Company's  continued  focus on commercial  services,  including
commercial deposits,  as well as the opening of our thirteenth branch at the end
of March  1999.  The opening of the  Company's  fourteenth  branch is  currently
planned for the third fiscal quarter ending December 31, 1999.

Other Short-term Borrowings

         The average balance of other short-term  borrowings  increased to $38.5
million  for the three  months  ended June 30,  1999 from $2.3  million in 1998.
Interest expense on these borrowings was $473 thousand in 1999, up $439 thousand
from 1998.  Short-term  borrowings  were $44.9 million at June 30, 1999, up from
$27.6  million at March 31,  1999.  This  increase is a result of the funding of
amounts due to insurance  companies relating to the Company's financed insurance
premium loans.  These amounts due were accrued in other  liabilities as of March
31, 1999 and paid in early April 1999. Management expects borrowings to increase
in future periods when the pending SFS acquisition is consummated.

                                  (continued)

Net Interest Income

Net interest  income for the three months ended June 30, 1999 was $10.6 million,
up from the $7.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 1998.  The increase
was the result of the  increase  in average  earning  assets,  the  decrease  in
average interest-bearing  liabilities,  and lower rates paid on interest-bearing
liabilities.  The  impact of these  factors  was  offset in part by lower  rates
earned  on  average  earning  assets.  As a  result  of  these  volume  and rate
fluctuations,  the Company's net interest margin for the three months ended June
30, 1999 was 5.07%,  up from 4.50% for the three months ended June 30, 1998. See
Table B, "Average  Balances,  Interest and Yields" and Table C, "Volume and Rate
Analysis".

RISK MANAGEMENT
- ---------------

Credit Risk

         Credit risk is managed  through the  interrelationship  of loan officer
lending  authorities,  Board of  Director  oversight,  loan  policies,  a credit
administration  department, an internal loan review function, and a problem loan
committee.  These  components  of  the  Company's  underwriting  and  monitoring
functions  are  critical  to  the  timely  identification,   classification  and
resolution of problem credits.

Non-performing Assets
- ---------------------

         Non-performing   assets  include   non-performing  loans  (loans  in  a
non-accrual  status,  loans that have been  restructured,  and loans past due 90
days or more and still accruing  interest) and assets which have been foreclosed
or repossessed.  Foreclosed assets typically represent residential or commercial
properties while repossessed property is primarily  manufactured homes abandoned
by their owners or repossessed by the Company.

         Total  non-performing  assets at June 30,  1999 were  $17.3  million or
1.99% of total  assets,  up from $12.5  million or 1.41% at March 31, 1999.  The
$4.9 million  increase in total  non-performing  assets is due to a $5.7 million
increase  in  non-performing  loans,  offset  by an $825  thousand  decrease  in
foreclosed and repossessed assets.

         The increase in  non-performing  loans was the result of a $6.1 million
increase in financed insurance premium loans placed on non-accrual.  These loans
are  placed  on  non-accrual  usually  within  30 days of a missed  payment  and
collection procedures from insurance companies of the unearned premiums can take
90 days or longer. The increase was a by-product of the Company's growth in this
lending  category as of March 31, 1999 and should be a seasonal  increase  based
upon the Company's past experience with these loans.

         The $825 thousand  decrease in foreclosed  and  repossessed  assets was
made up of a $545 thousand reduction of repossessed  manufactured homes with the
remainder  made  up of  reductions  in  foreclosed  residential  and  commercial
properties.

                                  (continued)

Allowance and Provision For Loan Losses
- ---------------------------------------

         The  allowance for loan losses at June 30, 1999 was $15.7  million,  up
from $14.3  million at March 31, 1999.  Although the  allowance  for loan losses
increased as of June 30, 1999 as compared with March 31, 1999 the allowance as a
percentage of  non-performing  loans  decreased from 143.8% at March 31, 1999 to
100.5% at June 30,  1999.  The  adequacy  of the  allowance  for loan  losses is
evaluated  monthly by management based upon a review of significant  loans, with
particular  emphasis on  non-performing  and  delinquent  loans that  management
believes  warrant special  attention,  as well as an analysis of the higher risk
elements  of  the  Company's  loan  portfolio.  The  increase  in the  level  of
non-performing loans at June 30, 1999 resulted in the reduction of the allowance
to  non-performing  loans ratio. Net charge-offs for the three months ended June
30,  1999 were $260  thousand,  down from $796  thousand  for the same period in
1998.

         As a result of management's analysis of the risk characteristics of the
lending  portfolio,  trends and levels of  non-performing  and other  delinquent
loans,  a provision  for loan losses of $1.7  million for the three months ended
June 30, 1999 was  recorded.  The $1.7 million  provision is down $516  thousand
from the $2.2  million  provision  recorded  for the three months ended June 30,
1998. The Company continues to maintain certain  portfolios of loans with higher
credit risk, such as manufactured  housing loans,  commercial loans and financed
insurance  premiums loans. Net charge-offs,  risk elements of the Company's loan
portfolio,  economic  conditions in the Company's market area and non-performing
loan balances are the primary  factors which are considered in  determining  the
levels of the Company's  provision for loan losses. The Company anticipates that
the provision for loan losses will continue to approximate current levels in the
near term to accommodate  planned growth in loans and the  portfolio's  changing
risk  profile,  although  there can be no  assurance  that loan  losses will not
exceed estimated amounts or that the provision for loan losses will not increase
in future periods. See Table E, "Non-Performing  Assets" and Table F, "Loan Loss
Experience".

Market Risk

         Interest rate risk is the most  significant  market risk  affecting the
Company. Other types of market risk, such as foreign currency exchange rate risk
and  commodity  price risk,  do not arise in the normal  course of the Company's
business activities.

         Interest  rate risk is defined as an exposure to a movement in interest
rates that could have an adverse  effect on the Company's  net interest  income.
Net  interest  income is  susceptible  to interest  rate risk to the degree that
interest-bearing liabilities mature or reprice on a different basis than earning
assets.  When  interest-bearing  liabilities mature or reprice more quickly than
earning  assets in a given  period,  a  significant  increase in market rates of
interest could adversely  affect net interest  income.  Similarly,  when earning
assets mature or reprice more quickly than interest-bearing liabilities, falling
interest rates could result in a decrease in net income.
<PAGE>
                           Hudson River Bancorp, Inc.
                      Management's Discussion and Analysis
                                  (continued)

         In an attempt  to manage its  exposure  to changes in  interest  rates,
management   monitors   the   Company's   interest   rate   risk.   Management's
asset/liability  committee  meets monthly to review the Company's  interest rate
risk position and profitability,  and to recommend  strategies for consideration
by the Board of Directors. Management also reviews loan and deposit pricing, and
the  Company's   securities   portfolio,   formulates   investment  and  funding
strategies, and oversees the timing and implementation of transactions to assure
attainment   of  the  Board's   objectives   in  the  most   effective   manner.
Notwithstanding  the Company's  interest rate risk  management  activities,  the
potential for changing interest rates is an uncertainty that can have an adverse
effect on net income.

         In adjusting  the  Company's  asset/liability  position,  the Board and
management  attempt to manage the Company's  interest rate risk while  enhancing
net  interest  margins.  At times,  depending  on the level of general  interest
rates,  the  relationship  between long- and short-term  interest rates,  market
conditions and  competitive  factors,  the Board and management may determine to
increase the Company's interest rate risk position somewhat in order to increase
its net interest margin.  The Company's  results of operations and net portfolio
values remain vulnerable to changes in interest rates and to fluctuations in the
difference between long- and short-term interest rates.

         Interest rate risk analyses  performed by the Company indicate that the
Company is asset sensitive, or its earning assets mature or reprice more quickly
than its interest-bearing liabilities. As a result, falling interest rates could
result in a decrease in net interest income. Consistent with the asset/liability
management philosophy described above, the Company has taken steps to manage its
interest rate risk by  attempting to match the repricing  periods of its earning
assets to its  interest-bearing  liabilities.  The Company's recent purchases of
securities,  retention of fixed rate loan products,  and emphasis on lower cost,
more  stable  non-certificate  deposit  accounts  are  methods  the  Company has
utilized to manage its interest  rate risk.  Management  continuously  evaluates
various  alternatives to address  interest rate risk including,  but not limited
to, the purchase of interest rate swaps, caps, and floors, leveraging scenarios,
and changes in asset or funding mix. There have been no  significant  changes in
the Company's interest rate sensitivity since March 31, 1999.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity is defined as the ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet all
present and future  funding  commitments,  depositor  withdrawals  and operating
expenses.  Management monitors the Company's liquidity position on a daily basis
and evaluates  its ability to meet  depositor  withdrawals  or make new loans or
investments.

         The  Company's  cash inflows  result  primarily  from loan  repayments,
maturities and calls of securities held to maturity and securities available for
sale, new deposits,  and to a lessor extent,  drawings upon the Company's credit
lines with the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York.  The Company's  cash outflows
consist  of new loan  originations,  security  purchases,  deposit  withdrawals,
operating expenses and treasury stock purchases.  The timing of cash inflows and
outflows is closely monitored by management  although changes in interest rates,
economic  conditions,  and competitive forces strongly impact the predictability
of these cash flows. The Company attempts to provide stable and flexible sources
of funding  through the  management of its  liabilities,  including core deposit
products offered through its branch network,  and through the use of borrowings.

                      Management's Discussion and Analysis
                                  (continued)

Management  believes that the level of the Company's liquid assets combined with
daily monitoring of cash inflows and outflows provide adequate liquidity to fund
outstanding loan commitments,  meet daily withdrawal requirements of depositors,
and meet all other daily obligations of the Company.

CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -----------------

         Consistent  with its goal to operate a sound and  profitable  financial
organization,  the  Company  actively  seeks to  maintain  a  "well-capitalized"
institution in accordance  with  regulatory  standards.  Total equity was $211.8
million at June 30, 1999,  24.26% of total assets on that date.  As of March 31,
1999, total equity was $219.3 million or 24.89% of total assets.  This reduction
in the  equity to assets  ratio is  reflective  of  management's  objectives  to
leverage its capital  through asset growth,  a dividend  policy ($0.03 per share
cash  dividend  declared and paid during the quarter  ended June 30, 1999) and a
share repurchase  program.  The Company completed a 5% share repurchase  program
during  July  1999 and  announced  intentions  to begin a 10%  share  repurchase
program over the succeeding 12 months.  As of June 30, 1999, the Company and the
Bank exceeded all of the capital requirements of its regulators.

OTHER OPERATING INCOME AND EXPENSES
- -----------------------------------

         Total other  operating  income was $592  thousand  for the three months
ended June 30, 1999 down  slightly  from the $624  thousand  earned for the same
period in 1998. Other operating income is composed  primarily of service charges
on deposit  accounts,  loan servicing  income and net  securities  transactions.
Income from service charges on deposit accounts remained stable at approximately
$332 thousand for both 1999 and 1998. Loan servicing income  decreased  slightly
due to the reductions in the Company's  loan servicing  portfolio as a result of
paydowns.  The  Company  realized  gains  amounting  to $79  thousand  from  net
securities  transactions  during the three months  ended June 30,  1999,  up $73
thousand from the amounts  realized during the same period in 1998. The majority
of this  increase  is the  result of the sale of one  security  during the three
months ended June 30, 1999.  Other income was $144 thousand for the three months
ended June 30, 1999 as compared to $189 thousand for the same period in 1998.

         Total other  operating  expenses were $6.3 million for the three months
ended June 30, 1999, up $1.6 million from the same period in 1998.  The increase
was a result of higher expenses in compensation and benefits,  equipment,  other
real estate owned and  repossessed  property,  and legal and other  professional
fees.

         Compensation  and benefits  increased $677 thousand to $3.1 million for
the three months ended June 30, 1999 from $2.4 million in 1998. This increase is
the result of costs associated with the Company's  Employee Stock Ownership Plan
and stock awarded  under the Company's  Recognition  and Retention  Plan.  Costs
associated  with these plans totaled $559 thousand during the three months ended
June 30, 1999 while there were no such expenses during the comparable  period in
1998. The opening of the Company's thirteenth branch just prior to the beginning
of the  quarter  ended  June  30,  1999  also  contributed  to the  increase  in
compensation and benefits.

                                  (continued)

         Equipment  expenses  for the three months ended June 30, 1999 were $590
thousand,  up from $380 thousand in 1998.  These expenses were higher due to the
equipment purchases made during the second half of the last fiscal year in which
depreciation and maintenance  charges were recorded during 1999. These equipment
purchases included a new front-end system, new personal  computers,  an upgraded
network and new image-technology for backoffice  operations.  The opening of our
thirteenth branch as mentioned previously also contributed to this increase.

         Expenses on other real estate owned and repossessed  property increased
from $141 thousand  during the three months ended June 30, 1998 to $403 thousand
during 1999.  This increase is the result of management's  continued  efforts to
reduce the level of its problem assets. The growth in this asset category during
the previous year  resulted in increased  levels of writedowns as well as higher
maintenance  expenses  associated with these assets during 1999 as compared with
1998.

         Legal and other  professional  fees were $232 thousand during the three
months ended June 30, 1999 up from $96 thousand for the comparable period in the
prior year.  Most of this increase is attributed to higher  expenses  associated
with legal, accounting, tax and other professional fees due to the public nature
of the  Company's  business.  In  addition,  the Company  recorded  professional
consulting  expenses  associated  with an  analysis of the  Company's  mainframe
technology  and  potential  upgrades to its hardware.  These  upgrades will take
place during the Company's  second fiscal quarter and should result in increased
equipment expenses in future periods.

         Other  expenses  were $1.4  million for the three months ended June 30,
1999 up from $1.1  million  during  1998.  The increase is the result of general
increases  associated with being a public company.  These costs include Delaware
franchise  tax fees,  annual  report  printing  expenses,  and  marketing of the
Company's  thirteenth branch opening.  Other expenses may increase in the future
under a current  proposal of the Financial  Accounting  Standards Board ("FASB")
with regard to  recognition  of  compensation  cost for stock options  issued to
non-employees.   The  Company  issued  375,000  stock  options  to  non-employee
directors  in January  1999 which could  result in  additional  expenses for the
Company beginning as early as September 1999 if the FASB proposal becomes final.

INCOME TAX EXPENSE
- ------------------

Income tax expense  increased from $645 thousand for the three months ended June
30, 1998 to $1.1  million for the  comparable  period in 1999.  The  increase is
primarily the result of higher income before income tax expense partially offset
by an increase in tax exempt income realized by the Company.

                                  (continued)

YEAR 2000 READINESS STATEMENT
- -----------------------------

         The Company has conducted a review of its computer  systems to identify
applications  that could be affected by the "Year 2000" issue, and has developed
and executed an  implementation  plan to resolve the issue.  The Company's  data
processing is performed almost entirely in-house,  however software and hardware
utilized is under maintenance agreements with third party vendors. Consequently,
the Company is very  dependent  on those  vendors to conduct its  business.  The
Company  contacted  each vendor  during 1997 and 1998 to request time tables for
Year 2000  compliance  and  expected  costs,  if any, to be passed  along to the
Company.  The Company began the testing phase to determine  whether its hardware
and software is Year 2000 compliant during  mid-1998.  Testing and any necessary
modifications on all "mission-critical"  systems were substantially completed by
December 31, 1998. In connection with Year 2000,  "mission-critical" systems are
defined as those systems in which the inability to perform  necessary  functions
would  cause  significant  disruptions  in the  Company's  ability  to  complete
day-to-day  operations,  seriously impacting the Company's financial results. If
systems which are not defined as  "mission-critical"  fail to perform  necessary
functions,  the  Company's  day-to-day  operations  would  not be  significantly
impacted,   although  the  lack  of  efficiencies  the  Company  enjoys  through
performing  these  functions in an automated  manner could result in  additional
time or expense to carry out the operation.  The Company's testing plans provide
a strict  timeframe to determine that the  reprogramming  efforts of its primary
service  providers  are  Year  2000  compliant  and  completed  within  the time
requirements  provided  by its  regulators.  Testing  of  systems  which are not
considered  to be  "mission-critical"  was  substantially  completed by June 30,
1999. The Company will continue testing its systems during the remainder of 1999
to ensure that any recent program or hardware  modifications continue to be Year
2000  compliant.  To date,  the  results  of the  Company's  testing,  after all
necessary modifications, have indicated that the systems used by the Company are
Year 2000 compliant.

         In the normal  course of keeping  pace with  changing  technology,  the
Company has performed upgrades of its hardware and software in recent years, and
continues  to do so. The  Company  has spent less than $100  thousand to date in
making any necessary modifications to its systems solely as a result of the Year
2000 issue.  Because of the Company's  investments  in technology  over the last
three years,  management does not expect that any additional costs to ensure its
systems are Year 2000 compliant will have a significant  impact on its financial
position or results of operations. These costs do not include internal personnel
time involved with the  installation and testing of the Company's  systems.  The
Company has funded, and intends to fund, its Year 2000 related  expenditures out
of general operating sources and expense them as incurred.

         The risks  associated  with  this  issue go beyond  the  Company's  own
ability to solve Year 2000 problems.  Should  significant  commercial  customers
fail to address Year 2000 issues effectively, their ability to meet debt service
requirements could be impaired, resulting in increased credit risk and potential
increases in loan charge-offs. Should significant depositors or other sources of
funds fail to address Year 2000 issues effectively,  the Company could be forced
to  utilize  alternative  funding  vehicles,  possibly  at higher  costs than it
currently  incurs.  In addition,  should suppliers of critical  services fail in
their  efforts to become  Year 2000  compliant,  or if  significant  third party
interfaces fail to be compatible  with the Company's  systems or fail to be Year
2000 compliant,  it could have significant adverse effects on the operations and
financial results of the Company.

                      Management's Discussion and Analysis
                                  (continued)

         The  Company  has  taken  steps to  identify  and  contact  significant
borrower,  depositor  and supplier  relationships  in order to assess their Year
2000  readiness and the potential  for an adverse  impact to the Company  should
their systems not be compliant  with Year 2000.  Based upon the  information  we
have  received  to date,  there have been no  significant  issues that have been
identified  with respect to the Year 2000  readiness of  significant  borrowers,
depositors or suppliers.  The Company has developed and tested contingency plans
and strategies to address possible instances in which a system or resource fails
to be compliant.  The contingency  plans vary with the affected  systems.  These
contingency  plans  include  details  for  performing  some  key  procedures  or
functions manually,  utilizing alternative energy and/or communication  systems,
identifying Company personnel to be on standby to address problems,  if and when
they arise,  and drawing on  additional  liquidity  sources if the need for such
funds  arises.  Based  upon  testing  results,   communication  with  borrowers,
depositors,  and suppliers, and contingency plans in place, the Company believes
that the failure of its critical  software  systems as a result of the Year 2000
is unlikely.

IMPACT OF INFLATION AND CHANGING PRICES
- ---------------------------------------

         The  Company's   consolidated  financial  statements  are  prepared  in
accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting  principles  which require the
measurement of financial  position and operating  results in terms of historical
dollars  without  considering  the changes in the relative  purchasing  power of
money over time due to  inflation.  The impact of  inflation is reflected in the
increasing cost of the Company's  operations.  Unlike most industrial companies,
nearly all assets and  liabilities  of the  Company are  monetary.  As a result,
interest  rates have a greater impact on the Company's  performance  than do the
effects of general  levels of  inflation.  In  addition,  interest  rates do not
necessarily  move in the direction,  or to the same extent as the price of goods
and services.

IMPACT OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
- ----------------------------------

         In June  1998,  the  FASB  issued  Statement  of  Financial  Accounting
Standards  No.  133,   "Accounting   for  Derivative   Instruments  and  Hedging
Activities", which establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative
instruments,   including  certain  derivative   instruments  embedded  in  other
contracts,  and for hedging activities.  As recently amended,  this Statement is
currently effective for all fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after June
15, 2000. Management is currently evaluating what impact, if any, this Statement
will have on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
