                   RELIANCE BANCORP, INC. and SUBSIDIARY
            NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.       BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements
         include the accounts of Reliance Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company"),
         its direct wholly-owned subsidiary, Reliance Federal Savings Bank
         (the "Bank") and the subsidiaries of the Bank.

         The unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein
         reflect all normal recurring adjustments which are, in the
         opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the
         results for the interim periods presented. The results of
         operations for the six months ended December 31, 1999 are not
         necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be
         expected for the entire fiscal year. Certain information and note
         disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in
         accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have
         been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations
         of the Securities and Exchange Commission. These unaudited
         consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction
         with audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto,
         included in the Company's 1999 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

2.       ACQUISITION OF RELIANCE BANCORP, INC. BY NORTH FORK
         BANCORPORATION, INC.

         On August 30, 1999, the Company announced that it had signed a
         definitive Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of August 30,
         1999, with North Fork Bancorporation, Inc. NFB is the bank holding
         company parent of North Fork Bank, a New York State chartered
         stock commercial bank. The Merger Agreement provides, among other
         things, that Reliance will merge with and into NFB, with NFB being
         the surviving corporation.

         Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each share of Reliance common
         stock, par value $0.01 per share, issued and outstanding
         immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted into and
         become the right to receive 2.0 shares of NFB common stock, par
         value $2.50 per share.

         The Merger will be structured as a tax-free reorganization and
         will be accounted under the purchase method of accounting.
         Consummation of the Merger is subject to the satisfaction of
         certain customary conditions, including approval of the Merger
         Agreement by the stockholders of Reliance and approval of the
         appropriate regulatory agencies. Following consummation of the
         Merger, the Bank will be merged with and into North Fork Bank and
         Trust Company.

         Reliance has the right to terminate the Merger Agreement if the
         closing price of NFB's shares decline beyond a specified price and
         index, unless NFB elects to increase the Merger Consideration to
         be received by Reliance's stockholders as set forth in the Merger
         Agreement.

         The Merger Agreement also provides that options to purchase shares
         of Reliance Common Stock under Reliance's stock option plans that
         are outstanding at the Effective Time shall be converted into
         options to purchase shares of NFB Common Stock in accordance with
         the procedure set forth in the Merger Agreement. In connection
         with the Merger Agreement, Reliance granted to NFB a stock option
         pursuant to a Stock Option Agreement, dated as of August 30, 1999,
         which, under certain defined circumstances, would enable NFB to
         purchase up to 19.9% of Reliance's issued and outstanding shares
         of common stock. The Stock Option Agreement provides that the
         total profit receivable thereunder may not exceed $17.4 million
         plus reasonable out-of-pocket expenses.

         On October 29, 1999, the Company amended its definitive Agreement
         and Plan of Merger. The amendments reflect modifications and
         clarifications to the price-based termination provisions with
         regard to the determination of the index group price. The
         amendments also reflect the revision of the financial institutions
         group index to remove Dime Bancorp, Inc. The Bank and North Fork
         Bank also executed the Subsidiary Agreement and Plan of Merger,
         pursuant to which the Bank will merge with and into North Fork
         Bank.

         On February 10, 2000, the stockholders of Reliance Bancorp, Inc
         approved the Amended Agreement and Plan of Merger. The Company had
         previously received all regulatory agency approvals, therefore,
         the consummation of the merger will occur before the end of February
         2000.

3.       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" ("SFAS No.133"). SFAS No. 133 establishes
         accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and
         for hedging activities. It requires that an entity recognize all
         derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the statement of
         financial condition and measure those instruments at fair value.
         The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative (that
         is, unrealized gains and losses) depends on the intended use of
         the derivative and the resulting designation. SFAS No. 133 is
         effective for fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after June
         15, 1999 and does not require restatement of prior periods. In
         June 1999, the FASB issued SFAS No. 137, "Deferral of Effective
         Date of SFAS No. 133", which defers the adoption of SFAS No. 133
         by one year. Management of the Company believes the implementation
         of SFAS No. 133 will not have a material impact on the Company's
         financial condition or results of operations.

4.       COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

         The Company follows Financial Accounting Standards No. 130,
         "Reporting Comprehensive Income" ("SFAS No. 130"). SFAS No. 130
         requires that all items that are components of "comprehensive
         income" be reported in a financial statement that is displayed
         with the same prominence as other financial statements.
         Comprehensive income is defined as "the change in equity [net
         assets] of a business enterprise during a period from transactions
         and other events and circumstances from nonowner sources." It
         includes all changes in equity during a period except those
         resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners.
         The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 130 during the
         first quarter of fiscal 1999 and as such was required to (a)
         classify items of other comprehensive income by their nature in a
         financial statement; (b) display the accumulated balance of other
         comprehensive income separately from retained earnings and
         additional paid-in capital in the equity section in the statement
         of financial condition and (c) reclassify prior periods presented.
         As the requirements of SFAS No. 130 are disclosure-related, its
         implementation had no impact on the Company's financial condition
         or results of operations.




         Comprehensive income for the three and six months ended December
31, 1999 and 1998 is as follows:
