ITEM 7.  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS

     (a)  Financial Statements of Businesses Acquired.

          EXTEBANK DOMESTIC COMMERCIAL BANKING BUSINESS

          The audited financial statements of Extebank as of, and
for the years ended, December 31, 1995 and 1994 are submitted
herewith as Exhibit 99 and are incorporated herein by reference.

          LONG ISLAND BRANCHES OF FIRST NATIONWIDE

          The Assets and liabilities of First Nationwide assumed
by North Fork Bank do not constitute a "business" which has
continuity for which historical financial statements would be
relevant.  Consequently, such historical financial statements are
not required and have not been provided herein.

          (b)  Pro Forma Financial Information.

          The following pro forma financial information is being
filed under cover of this amendment to the Current Report:  Pro
forma financial information with respect to the Registrant giving
effect to the purchase of Extebank and the purchase of assets and
assumption of liabilities of the ten (10) Long Island banking
branches of First Nationwide, as required pursuant to Article 11
of Regulation S-X.  The pro forma financial information presented
includes available Guide 3 disclosure for the deposits acquired.

       UNAUDITED CONDENSED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The following pro forma condensed financial information has been
prepared giving effect to:  (i) the purchase of the domestic
commercial banking business of Extebank.  A description of the
Extebank transaction, which was consummated on March 15, 1996, is
set forth in Item 2(A) to the Form 8-K Current Report, dated as
of March 15, 1996; and (ii) the purchase of assets and assumption 
of liabilities in connection with the acquisition of the ten (10) 
Long Island banking branches of First Nationwide.  A description 
of the First Nationwide transaction, which was consummated on 
March 23, 1996, is set forth in Item 2(B) to the Form 8-K Current 
Report, dated as of March 15, 1996.

The following pro forma condensed financial information is
required pursuant to Article 11 of Regulation S-X and has been
prepared as if these transactions had taken place on January 1,
1995 for the unaudited pro forma combined condensed consolidated
statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 1995 and
on January 1, 1996 for the unaudited pro forma combined condensed
consolidated statement of operations for the quarter ended March 31, 1996.

The pro forma condensed financial information set forth in
tabular form for North Fork Bancorporation, Inc. and subsidiaries
(the "Company") includes the historical amounts reflected in the
financial statements for the date or period indicated, purchase
accounting adjustments to such amounts reflecting those adjust-
ments made by the Company which arose from the transactions and
the application of such adjustments as if the transactions had
occurred as of the dates referenced above, together with the
resulting pro form amounts.  This pro forma condensed financial
information is prepared based upon the assumptions set forth in
the notes thereto.  The pro forma condensed financial information
also includes the historical amounts reflected in the financial
statements of Extebank for the date or period indicated, the
elimination of its international operations during 1995, and the
relevant purchase accounting adjustments.

The pro forma condensed financial information is not intended to
be indicative of the results of operations or the financial
condition which would have been attained had the acquisition been
consummated at either of the foregoing dates or which may be
attained in the future.  The estimates and assumptions used by
management are subject to change in the future as additional
information becomes available or previously existing circumstanc-
es are modified.  Actual results could differ from those esti-
mates.  In addition, numerous factors, including factors outside
the Company's control such as the general level of interest rates
and regional economic conditions may significantly affect the actual
results of the Company.  These statements should be read in conjunction
with the Company's 1995 Annual Report on Form 10-K and the Company's 
Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 1996, which are incorporated
herein by reference.

         NORTH FORK BANCORPORATION, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
       NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED 
                       FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1)  ASSUMPTIONS FOR PRO FORMA INFORMATION

The Pro Forma Combined Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations 
of North Fork Bancorporation, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the "Company")
at December 31, 1995 and March 31, 1996 have been prepared as if
the acquisition of the domestic commercial banking business of
Extebank ("Extebank") and the acquisition of the ten (10) Long
Island banking branches of First Nationwide Bank, a Federal
Savings Bank ("First Nationwide") had been consummated at January
1, 1995 and January 1, 1996, respectively.  Although separate
financial data had historically been prepared for Extebank, such
financial information also included certain international opera-
tions.  Accordingly, since only the domestic commercial banking
business was acquired by North Fork Bank, certain estimates and
assumptions have been utilized in determining the pro forma
adjustments applied to the historical results of the operations
of Extebank.  The First Nationwide branch acquisition, which
consisted principally of cash and customer deposit liabilities,
did not constitute a distinct business entity for which separate
financial data had historically been prepared.  Therefore,
subjective estimates have been utilized in determining the pro
forma adjustments applied to the historical audited results of
the operations of the Company.

A)  EXTEBANK COMMERCIAL DOMESTIC BANKING BUSINESS
Specific assumptions utilized:  1) Extebank's historical state-
ments of operations for the period ended December 31, 1995
included certain international operations of Extebank.  The
historical statement of operations for Extebank were adjusted to
reflect the elimination of the international operations; 2)
Interest earning assets have been reduced by the transaction
purchase price and additional costs incurred in connection with
the consummation of the transaction.  These cash outlays are
assumed to have been incurred as of the beginning of the 
respective pro forma periods at the Company's average Federal 
Funds sold rate in effect during each of the period presented 
(5.90% and 5.32% for the periods ended December 31, 1995 and 
March 31, 1996, respectively); 3) the intangible assets associated 
with this transaction are currently being amortized for financial 
reporting purposes on a straight line basis over fifteen years; 
and 4) income taxes have been provided using the Company's 
effective tax rate.  The pro forma adjustments do not reflect 
any possible cost savings to be derived from the elimination of 
redundant operations.

B)  LONG ISLAND BRANCHES OF FIRST NATIONWIDE BANK
Specific assumptions utilized:  1) the assets acquired, princi-
pally cash, are assumed to be invested in certain investment
securities at the beginning of each period using the average
rates in effect during such periods (6.42% and 6.57% for the
periods ending December 31, 1995 and March 31, 1996, respective-
ly); 2) the actual interest bearing deposit liabilities assumed
are assumed to have been acquired at the beginning of each period
using consummation date fair values and are reflected during the
periods using the average rates in effect at the consummation
date (weighted average cost of funds of 4.40%); 3) non-interest
income and non-interest expense amounts are based upon an extrap-
olation of one month's actual operating results subsequent to
consummation; 4) the intangible assets associated with this
transaction are currently being amortized over periods not
exceeding fifteen years for both financial reporting and tax
purposes; and 5) income taxes have been provided using the
Company's effective tax rate for the pro forma periods.  The pro
forma adjustments do not reflect any possible cost savings from
branch operating efficiencies which may be affected in the
future.

The historical cost basis of the assets acquired and liabilities 
assumed in the aforementioned transactions approximates the 
estimated fair market values thereof.

Weighted average number of common and common stock equivalents
utilized for the calculation of pro forma earnings per share was
24,553,587 million and 25,091,259 million, which represented the
Company's actual weighted average number of common and common
stock equivalents for the year ended December 31, 1995 and for
the three months ended March 31, 1996, respectively.

2.  Deposits
Deposit balances assumed as of March 23, 1996 from the acquisition 
of the First Nationwide branches are summarized as follows:

                         [Arthur Andersen LLP Letterhead]

                   REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

          To the Board of Directors
            and Shareholder of Extebank:

          We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of
          Extebank (a wholly owned subsidiary of Banco Exterior de
          Espana, Spain) as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the
          related statements of operations, shareholder's equity
          and cash flows for the years then ended.  These financial
          statements are the responsibility of the Bank's manage-
          ment.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
          these financial statements based on our audits.

          We conducted our audits in accordance with generally
          accepted auditing standards.  Those standards require
          that we plan and we perform the audit to obtain reason-
          able assurance about whether the financial statements are
          free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examin-
          ing, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
          disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also
          includes assessing the accounting principles used and
          significant estimates made by management, as well as
          evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. 
          We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for
          our opinion.

          In our opinion, the financial statements referred to
          above present fairly, in all material respects, the
          financial position of Extebank as of December 31, 1995
          and 1994, and the results of its operations and its cash
          flows for the years then ended in conformity with gener-
          ally accepted accounting principles.

                       NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                         DECEMBER 31, 1995 AND 1994

     1.  ORGANIZATION:

     General

     Extebank (the "Bank") is a New York State chartered commercial
     bank wholly owned by Banco Exterior de Espana ("Banco Exterior"
     or the "Parent").  Operations of the Bank have included activi-
     ties management considered directly related to the operation of a
     U.S. domestic community bank as well as other banking activities
     identified by Bank management to be international activities in
     support of customers of the Parent or made possible due to the
     active involvement and support for such operations by the Parent. 
     Pursuant to enabling regulations, the Bank also had an Interna-
     tional Banking Facility ("IBF") which permitted the Bank to
     engage in certain types of international transactions, free of
     certain regulatory constraints, such as mandatory reserves and
     interest rate limitations.

     During 1995, Banco Exterior received approval for the formation
     of a New York State branch in order to conduct various banking
     activities in support of the Parent's international operations. 
     The new entity, Banco Exterior de Espana - New York Branch (the
     "Branch"), commenced operations on October 2, 1995.  Upon the
     commencement of operations of the Branch, the Branch accepted
     transfer of those assets and liabilities, personnel and facili-
     ties identified by Bank management as pertaining to the interna-
     tional activities (see Note 10 for description of transferred
     assets and liabilities).

     On September 19, 1995, the Bank entered into a merger agreement
     with North Fork Bank ("NFB") stipulating that NFB would acquire
     all of the capital stock of the Bank and thereby purchase the
     domestic business of the Bank following a transfer of interna-
     tional assets and liabilities to the Branch (see Note 10).

     In December 1995, following approval from the State of New York
     Banking Department and Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the
     Bank reduced its common stock and surplus accounts by $1,125,00
     and $2,936,836, respectively, by redeeming 225,000 shares of its
     common stock held by the Parent for $4,061,836.  The Bank also
     paid a dividend of $22,938,164 out of its undivided profits
     account.

     2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

     The accounting and reporting policies of the Bank conform to
     generally accepted accounting principles and to general practice
     within the banking industry.  The following is a description of
     the more significant of those policies.  The preparation of the
     consolidated financial statements requires management to make
     estimates and assumptions that affect the reported assets and
     liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities
     at the date of the consolidated balance sheets and the reported
     amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. 
     Actual results could differ from those estimates.

     a.  Investment Securities

     Available-For-Sale:  Effective January 1, 1994, the Bank adopted
     Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115 "Accounting
     for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" ("SFAS
     115").  In connection with the adoption of this pronouncement,
     debt and equity securities used as part of the Bank's as-
     set/liability management that may be sold in response to changes
     in interest rates, prepayments, and other factors have been
     classified as available-for-sale.  Such securities are reported
     at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses excluded from
     earnings and reported in a separate component of shareholder's
     equity (on an after tax basis).  Gains and losses on the disposi-
     tion of securities are recognized on the specific identification
     method in the period in which they occur.

     Held-To-Maturity:  Held-to-maturity investment securities are
     stated at cost adjusted for accretion of discount or amortization
     of premium.  The Bank has the intent and ability to hold such
     securities until maturity.

     b.  Loans

     Loans are reported as the principal amount outstanding net of
     unearned discount and the allowance for possible loan losses. 
     Unearned discounts on installments loans are recognized as income
     over the terms of the loans by using the effective interest
     method.  Interest on other loans is calculated by using the
     simple interest method on the daily balances of the principal
     amounts outstanding.

     Fees received that represent adjustments to the interest yield
     are recognized over the term of the loan.

     Recognition of interest income on commercial loans is discontin-
     ued when, in the opinion of management, the collection of addi-
     tional interest is unlikely (generally non-payment of principal
     or interest for a period of ninety days).  When such
     collectibility is considered unlikely, all interest previously
     accrued, but not collected, is reversed against income.  Thereaf-
     ter, no interest is taken into income unless received in cash and
     until such time as the borrower demonstrates the ability to make
     future payments of interest and principal as scheduled.

     On January 1, 1995, the Bank adopted Statement of Financial
     Standards No. 114 ("SFAS 114"), "Accounting by Creditors for
     Impairment of a Loan," and Statement of Financial Accounting
     Standards No. 118 ("SFAS 118"), "Accounting by Creditors for
     Impairment of Loan - Income Recognition and Disclosures."  SFAS
     114 and 118 address the accounting by creditors for impairment of
     certain loans and the recognition of interest income on these
     loans and require that impairment of certain loans be measured
     based on the present value of expected future cash flows dis-
     counted at the loan's effective interest rate or the fair value
     of collateral.  A loan is considered impaired, based on current
     information and events, if it is probable that the Bank will be
     unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal and inter-
     est when due according to the contractual terms of the loan
     agreement.

     The adoption of SFAS 114 and 118 on January 1, 1995 did not
     materially affect the Bank's financial statements or the amount
     of the allowance for loan losses.  At December 31, 1995, the Bank
     identified all its nonaccrual and restructured loans to be
     impaired as defined in SFAS 114 and 118.  Interest payments on
     nonaccruing impaired loans are recorded as reductions of loan
     principal.

     c.  Allowance for Possible Loan Losses

     The allowance for possible loan losses is established based upon
     management's evaluation of the risks in the loan portfolio,
     general economic conditions and prior loss experience.  Loans are
     charged against the allowance when management believes that the
     collectibility of principal is unlikely.  The amount in the
     allowance for possible loan losses, in management's judgment, is
     adequate to provide for potential loan losses.

     d.  Foreign Exchange Contracts

     Extebank uses foreign currency contracts for trading, investing
     and hedging its foreign denominated assets and liabilities.

     The Bank marks to market its foreign exchange positions and
     recognizes the resulting gains and losses currently in other
     operating income.  This valuation includes pricing of all foreign
     currency spot and forward positions at market rates as of Decem-
     ber 31, 1994.  The Bank did not have any foreign exchange con-
     tracts as of December 31, 1995.

     e.  Bank Premises and Equipment

     Bank premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated
     depreciation and amortization.  Depreciation and amortization,
     included in other operating expenses, are computed on the
     straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the
     assets or the lesser of the lease term or the useful life of the
     related asset for leasehold improvements.

     f.  Other Real Estate Owned

     Other real estate owned consists of real estate acquired by
     foreclosure and is carried at the lower of cost or estimated net
     realizable value.

     g.  Statements of Cash Flows

     For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and due from banks
     include cash on hand and amounts due from banks.  For the years
     ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, the Bank paid interest of
     $30,105,190 and $23,195,183 and income taxes of $75,925 and
     $563,445, respectively.

     h.  Reclassification

     Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1994 financial
     statements to conform to the 1995 presentation.

     3.  RESERVE REQUIREMENTS:

     Pursuant to New York State Banking regulations, Extebank main-
     tains average reserve balances with the Federal Reserve Bank
     which are not available for investment purposes.  As of December
     31, 1995 and 1994, cash reserves of $7,305,000 and $12,015,000,
     respectively, were maintained at the Federal Reserve Bank.

     (a)  Investments in U.S. Treasury securities represent all of the
          Bank's investments categorized as available-for-sale and are
          stated at fair market value.  The Bank has recorded an
          unrealized gain of approximately $42,000 (on an after tax
          basis) in adjusting their carrying value of available-for-
          sale securities to fair market values as per the require-
          ments of SFAS No. 115.  This adjustment has been reflected
          as a separate component of shareholder's equity on the
          balance sheet as of December 31, 1995.

     (b)  Investments in State and municipal securities represent all
          of the Bank's investments categorized as held-to-maturity
          and are stated at book value.

     The book value and market value of investment securities by
     contractual maturity at December 31, 1995 were as follows:

     impaired loans, totaled $1,320,000 and is included in the allow-
     ance for loan losses shown on the balance sheet.  The average
     recorded investment in impaired loans for the twelve months ended
     December 31, 1995 was approximately $7,325,000.

     Nonaccrual loans totaled approximately $4,400,000 and $2,300,000
     at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.  If interest on
     those loans had been accrued, the amount of additional interest
     would have approximated $267,578 and $151,000 for 1995 and 1994,
     respectively.

     The Bank computes deferred income taxes based on the difference
     between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and
     liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in
     which the differences are expected to reverse.  Deferred income
     taxes reflect the impact of "temporary differences" between
     amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purpos-
     es and such amounts as measured by tax laws.

     The Bank has a net deferred tax asset of approximately $2,460,000
     recorded in other assets in the balance sheet as of December 31,
     1995, reflecting temporary differences primarily related to the
     allowance for possible loan losses and the liability under the
     Bank's Employee Incentive Plan.  Deferred taxes in 1994 primarily
     reflect these same temporary differences.

     From 1991 through 1994, the Bank effected $32.7 million of loan
     sales with its Parent.  In accordance with SEC guidelines, the
     accounting for such sales was based on the estimated fair market
     value of such loans, which resulted in the recording of cumula-
     tive pretax losses from such sales of approximately $17.0 mil-
     lion.  These losses were not reflected in the Bank's previously
     filed tax returns which are being amended for the periods affect-
     ed to claim a refund for overpayment of prior tax.  Pending
     resolution of such amended tax return filings, the cumulative
     statutory tax effect of these additional loan charge offs of
     approximately $6.1 million has been reflected as a permanent item
     thereby increasing the reported effective tax rate for the year
     ended December 31, 1994 and earlier periods.

     10.  TRANSACTIONS WITH BANCO EXTERIOR DE ESPANA AND AFFILIATES:

     The Bank engages in transactions with the Parent and other
     affiliates including the purchase or sale of loans or participa-
     tions, and the purchase or placement of funds.  In 1994, the Bank
     sold $10,926,000 of classified loans to its Parent for the
     estimated fair value of such loans, resulting in the recognition
     of losses on such sales of approximately $2,800,000.

     Upon commencement of operations of the Branch, the Bank identi-
     fied assets and liabilities which were considered to be more
     appropriately managed as part of the Parent's international
     business and transferred such to the Branch.  Assets and liabili-
     ties transferred included:  demand, time and money market depos-
     its which were transferred with consent of depositors at their
     respective outstanding balances; investment securities which were
     transferred at their fair market value of $9,678,000; loans which
     were transferred at book value which approximated their fair
     value of $31,958,000; fixed assets which were transferred at book
     value of $36,000; and eighty-three foreign exchange forward
     contracts were transferred at the fair market value.

     Assets due from or liabilities due to the Bank's Parent or
     affiliates at December 31, 1995 and 1994 are summarized below:
                                                  1995           1994

     11.  EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS:

     The Bank's pension plan, covering all salaried officers and
     employees who are 21 years old and have been employed one year,
     is a trusteed nonemployee contributory pension plan.  The Bank's
     funding policy is to contribute amounts deductible for Federal
     income tax purposes.  The pension plan's assets consist primarily
     of guaranteed investment contracts.  The plan trustees consist of
     three senior management personnel of Extebank and the applicable
     insurance companies are the custodians.

     Due to the merger agreement which the Bank entered into on
     September 19, 1995 with NFB, the plan stopped accruing benefits
     on September 30, 1995.

     Pension costs include the following components for the plan years
     ended September 30, 1995 and 1994:
                                                   1995           1994

     Major assumptions utilized are as follows:

       Discount rate:
          Preretirement                             8.0%              8.0%
          Postretirement                            7.5%              8.0%
       Rate of increase in compensation levels   Not applicable       3.5%
       Expected long-term rate on plan assets    Not applicable       8.0%

     The Bank has an employee incentive plan under which key employees
     may elect to defer a portion of their compensation and receive
     specified future benefits.  Pursuant to the terms of the incen-
     tive plan, employees are guaranteed a 10% return on salary
     deferrals with projected higher returns dependent on continued
     employment.

     There are no segregated assets for payment of incentive plan
     benefits, however, in connection with the incentive plan, the
     Bank has purchased, and is beneficiary of, life insurance con-
     tracts on its employees.

     The accrued liability under the incentive plan (projected benefit
     obligation using an 8% discount rate) was approximately
     $3,001,000 and $2,935,000 at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respec-
     tively.  The cash surrender value of the related insurance
     contracts approximated $5,892,000 and $5,086,000 at December 31,
     1995 and 1994, respectively.  The Bank also has a defined contri-
     bution retirement plan that qualifies under Section 401(k) of the
     Internal Revenue Code.  The plan covers all full-time employees
     of the Bank who have one year of service and are age twenty-one
     or older.  Contributions by employees commenced on January 1,
     1991.  Employer contributions are at the discretion of manage-
     ment.  During the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, the
     Bank made no contributions.

     12.  DIVIDEND RESTRICTIONS:

     Dividends paid by the Bank to its Parent are subject to restric-
     tions by the Banking regulators.  Approval is required by such
     regulators for payments by the Bank of amounts that exceed
     regulatory defined net profits in any calendar year, combined
     with the retained profits for the two preceding years, less any
     required transfer to surplus.  During December 1995 the Bank
     obtained approval for and paid a special dividend of $22,938,164
     to its Parent.  As of December 31, 1995, the Bank had no retained
     earnings available for payment of dividends without prior approval.

     13.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES:

     In the normal course of its business, Extebank is party to
     various types of financial instruments which involve potential
     credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amounts recognized
     in its balance sheet.  These risks are generally monitored and
     controlled in conjunction with Extebank's on-balance sheet
     activities.

     In meeting its customers' financing needs, the Bank issues
     commitments to extend credit, commercial letters of credit and
     standby letters of credit.  For these types of commitments, the
     contractual amounts of the financial instruments represent the
     maximum potential credit risk in the event of non-performance by
     the counterparty.  However, since not all such commitments are
     drawn down prior to their expiry, the contractual amounts do not
     necessarily represent actual future liquidity and credit risk. 
     The actual credit risk related to these activities is controlled
     by the evaluation of the customer's creditworthiness and the need
     for and extent of collateral wherever it is deemed appropriate. 
     All such lending commitments are considered by management in
     determining the adequacy of the allowance for possible loan losses.

     As part of its own trading, hedging, investing and liquidity
     management activities, Extebank is party to forward contracts
     involving the purchase and sale of foreign currencies.  Risks
     arise from the possible inability of counterparties to meet the
     terms of their contracts and from movements in exchange rates. 
     Extebank controls the credit and rate risks of such transactions
     through credit approvals and trading limits monitoring but
     generally does not require collateral regarding such transactions.

     As of December 31, 1995, Extebank is party to the following
     outstanding financial instruments involving off-balance sheet risk:

                                                           Notional or

     In the opinion of management, these items will settle in the
     normal course of business and will not have a material effect
     upon the financial position of the Bank.

     At December 31, 1995, the Bank was obligated under a number of
     noncancelable leases for land, buildings and equipment used for
     bank purposes.  One of these leases has been capitalized while
     the others have been accounted for as operating leases.  Minimum
     rental payments due under these leases are as follows:

     Total rental expense for the years ended December 31, 1995 and
     1994 was $1,494,154 and $1,397,153, respectively.

     The Bank's leases provide that the Bank pay taxes, maintenance,
     insurance and certain other operating expenses applicable to
     leased premises.  In addition, the leases provide certain escala-
     tion provisions.

     Extebank is a defendant in various lawsuits arising through the
     normal course of conducting its business.  Where in the opinion
     of management and after consultation with legal counsel, manage-
     ment believes that a loss arising with respect to legal actions
     is reasonably possible, a reserve is recorded to cover
     management's estimate of such loss.  In the opinion of manage-
     ment, settlement of pending legal claims will not have a material
     adverse effect on the financial position or future operating
     results of the Bank.

     14.  ESTIMATED FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:

     Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, "Disclosures
     About Fair Value of Financial Instruments" ("SFAS 107"), requires
     entities to disclose information about the estimated fair values
     of financial instruments.  The Bank's financial instruments are
     recorded in accordance with generally accepted accounting princi-
     ples using several methods, including historical cost, lower of
     cost or market value, depending on management's intended business
     purpose.  The majority of the Bank's financial instruments,
     principally loans and deposits, are accounted for following the
     historical cost method of accounting.  Under the historical cost
     method, the carrying value generally represents the amount
     received when a liability is incurred or the amount is paid to
     acquire an asset less subsequent amortization and allowances that
     reflect management's estimation of uncollectible amounts.  For
     these assets and liabilities, fair values are not readily avail-
     able since there are no available trading markets as character-
     ized by current exchanges between willing parties.  Accordingly,
     fair values can only be derived or estimated using various
     valuation techniques, such as discounting estimated future cash
     flows using discount rates believed to be commensurate with the
     risks involved.  The determination of estimated future cash flows
     and discount rates in inherently subjective and imprecise, and
     minor changes in assumptions or estimation methodologies can have
     a material effect on these derived or estimated fair values.  The
     aggregated estimated net fair value of the Bank's financial
     instruments excluded the value of long-term client relationships,
     the going concern value of an entity as implied by the present
     value of all future business opportunities, and the talents of
     its employees, which are a component of the Bank's total market
     value.  Further, valuations are presented as of a specific point
     in time and may not be relevant in evaluating the future earnings
     potential of the Bank.

     The estimated fair values and carrying values at December 31,
     1995 and December 31, 1994, the methodologies used and key
     assumptions made to estimate fair values were as follows:

     Cash and Due from Banks, Federal Funds Sold/
     Purchased and Interest-Bearing Deposits With Banks

     For these short-term instruments, the carrying amount is a
     reasonable estimate of fair value.

     Investment Securities

     For securities held in the Bank's investment portfolio, fair
     value was determined by reference to quoted market prices as of
     December 31, 1995 and 1994.

     Loans

     The fair value of the Bank's loan portfolio is based on the
     credit and interest rate characteristics of the individual loans
     within each sector of the portfolio.  The loan portfolio was
     stratified by type, maturity, interest rate, collateral type,
     where applicable, and credit quality ratings.  The fair valuation
     of loans was estimated by discounting scheduled cash flows
     through the estimated maturities using discount rates, which in
     the opinion of management best reflect current market interest
     rates that would be charged on loans (or groups of loans) with
     similar characteristics and credit quality.  Credit risk concerns
     were reflected either by adjusting cash flow forecasts or by
     adjusting the discount rate, or by a combination of both.  The
     maturity of loans originated with attached call options were
     assumed to be the call date.  Discount rates were determined
     without consideration of compensating balance requirements.

     Accrued Interest

     As accrued interest represents short-term receivables and
     payables, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair
     value.

     Deposit Liabilities

     The fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts, and certain
     money market deposits with no stated maturities is the amount
     payable on demand at the reporting date.  The fair value of
     fixed-maturity certificates of deposit is estimated by the
     present value of estimated future cash flows using rates current-
     ly offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

     Federal Funds Purchased

     For this short-term instrument, the carrying amount is a reason-
     able estimate of fair value.

     Commitments to Extend Credit, Standby and Commercial Letters of
     Credit

     The fair value of the commitments to extend credit listed in the
     preceding Note 13 "Commitments and Contingent Liabilities" were
     estimated to be insignificant as of December 31, 1995 and 1994. 
     The fair value of commitments to extend credit and standby
     letters of credit were valuated using fees currently charged to
     enter into similar agreements, taking into account the risk
     characteristics of the borrower.  Commercial letters of credit
     represent short-term commitments for the Bank, for which a fair
     value estimate is insignificant.

     Commitments to Purchase and Sell Foreign Currencies

     The fair value of commitments to purchase and sell foreign
     currencies listed in the preceding Note 13 "Commitments and
     Contingent Liabilities," is marked to market at year-end for
     financial reporting purposes.  Market rates are determined using
     quotes from brokers and/or dealers for the respective currencies. 
     The market value of the Bank's foreign exchange commitments as of
     December 31, 1995 and 1994 is included in other assets in the
     accompanying balance sheets.  

     The foregoing estimates may not reflect the actual amount that
     could be realized if all or substantially all of the financial
     instruments were offered for sale.  Further, the estimates
     employed by management were subjective in nature and were based
     upon judgment respective to certain economic scenarios.  These
     estimates are also subject to uncertainties.  Changes in assump-
     tions, economic conditions and/or market segments and products
     could materially affect future estimates.

     The estimated fair values and recorded carrying values of the
     Bank's financial instruments are as follows:
