  At  March 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999 loans held for  resale
were $168.4 million and $132.1 million, respectively.

3.    Impaired Assets

  Impaired loans, representing the nonaccrual loans at March  31,
2000  and  December  31,  1999, totaled  $795,483  and  $580,311,
respectively,  and  averaged $797,307 and $1,084,000  during  the
respective periods ending on these dates. Specific allowances  of
$397,742  and  $239,911 were established at March  31,  2000  and
December  31,  1999, respectively. During the first  quarters  of
2000 and 1999, the interest collected on the nonaccrual loans was
applied to reduce the outstanding principal.

commitments to lend additional funds to borrowers whose loans are
impaired.

acquired  through  foreclosure for both  periods  of  $2,686,747,
which is classified as other assets.

6. SEGMENT REPORTING

   NCB's  reportable segments are strategic business units  that
provide  diverse  products  and services  within  the  financial
services  industry. NCB has four reportable segments: commercial
lending,  real estate lending, NCB Savings Bank and  other.  The
commercial  lending  segment  provides  financial  services   to
cooperative and member-owned businesses. The real estate lending
segment  originates,  sells  and  services  real  estate   loans
nationally, with a concentration in New York City.  NCB  Savings
Bank  segment  provides  traditional banking  services  such  as
lending   and   deposit  gathering  to  retail,  corporate   and
commercial  customers.  "Other" consists  of  NCB's  unallocated
parent company income and expense, and net interest income  from
investments and corporate debt after allocations to segments.

   NCB  evaluates segment performance based on net income before
taxes. The accounting policies of the segments are substantially
the  same  as  those  described in the  summary  of  significant
accounting  policies in the most recent annual report.  Overhead
and  support  expenses are allocated to each  operating  segment
based  on  number  of employees, and other factors  relevant  to
expenses  incurred.  Also included in overhead  and  support  is
depreciation allocated based on equipment usage.

                    NATIONAL COOPERATIVE BANK
              MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
       FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2000 AND 1999


SUMMARY

  NCB's net income for the three months ended March 31, 2000  was
$1.5  million.   This  was  a 30.3% or $650.9  thousand  decrease
compared  with $2.2 million for the three months ended March  31,
1999.   The  variance resulted from a decrease of 1.2%  or  $94.0
thousand  in net interest income, a decrease  of 13.2% or  $217.1
thousand  in  non-interest income and an  increase  of  10.8%  or
$691.0  thousand  in  non-interest expense  which  was  partially
offset  by a decrease of 97% or $405.0 thousand in provision  for
loan losses.

  Total  assets were $1.17 billion at March 31, 2000, up  11%  or
$116.4  million  from $1.06 billion at December  31,  1999.  This
resulted  primarily from increases in loans  held  for  sale  and
loans and lease financing of $109.8 million and in cash and  cash
equivalents, restricted cash and investment securities  of  $8.04
million.

  The  annualized return on average total assets was .55% for the
first three months of 2000 compared with .88% for the same period
in  1999.  The annualized return on average equity for the period
ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 was 4.05% and 6.11%, respectively.

NET INTEREST INCOME

  Net  interest  income  for  the  first  three  months  of  2000
decreased 1.2% or $94.0 thousand over the same period a year ago.
Table  2  contains  more  detailed information  about  the  $94.0
thousand decrease.

  As  shown  on  Table  1, the net interest spread  decreased  61
basis  points to 1.7% from 2.31% for the three months ended March
31,  1999 while net interest yield on interest earning assets was
2.78%  and  3.21% for the three months ended March 31,  2000  and
1999,  respectively. The decrease was mainly due to increased
cost to borrow on the short-term facilities. For the three months
ended March  31,  2000, the   yield  on  average  loans  and
leases  and  on  investment securities  and cash equivalents was
up 18 basis  points  and  53 basis  points, respectively, compared
with the first  quarter  of 1999.

  For  the  three  months ending March 31, 2000, interest  income
increased  17.9%  or  $3.3 million to $21.8  million  from  $18.5
million  of  the prior year's quarter. As shown on Table  2,  the
increase  in  interest income was due mostly  to  growth  in  the
commercial loan and lease portfolio.

   Interest  expense  increased $3.4 million or  31.4%  to  $14.3
million  for the three months ended March 31, 2000 compared  with
$10.9  million  for the three months ended March  31,  1999.  The
interest  expense was up as a result of higher  levels  of  notes
payable to fund loan volume. At March 31, 2000, the average  rate
on  interest-bearing liabilities increased to 6.35% compared with
5.46%  in the same period in 1999. As shown on Table 2, the total
increase  in  interest  expense of $3.4 million  was  volume  and
interest rate related.

NON-INTEREST INCOME

  Non-interest income for the three months ended March  31,  2000
of  $1.4  million  decreased 13.2% or $217.1 thousand  from  $1.6
million  for  the same period last year. Non-interest  income  is
composed of gains from sales of blanket mortgages and share loans
to  secondary  market investors, servicing fees, net  origination
fees  on loans sold, management fees, advisory and debt placement
fees  and  other  income.  The majority of the decrease  resulted
from  a  loss  on  a  commercial loan sale  and  the  reduced
yield of interest-only receivables. Loans sold during  the
first  quarter  of  2000 were $11.7  million compared  with  $7.1
million in the year-earlier period.

   Servicing  fee  income for the quarter ended  March  31,  2000
increased  12.7%  or $91.3 thousand to $811.9  thousand  compared
with  $720.6 thousand for the three months ended March 31,  1999.
At  March 31, 2000 and 1999, NCB serviced single and multi-family
real estate and commercial loans for investors in the amounts  of
$2.05 billion and $1.74 billion, respectively.

  Other  income  was  down  28% to $616.3  thousand  from  $856.2
thousand  due  to  lower  commercial and real  estate  loan  fees
received and yield of interest-only receivables and higher expenses
maintaining a real estate property owned.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSE

  Non-interest expense for the three months ended March 31,  2000
increased 10.8% or $691.0 thousand to $7.1 million compared  with
$6.4   million  for  the  three  months  ended  March  31,  1999.
Compensation and employee benefits, remaining by far  the  single
largest  component  of non-interest expense, increased  17.7%  or
$639.3  thousand due to a higher employee base and bonus accruals
than  in  the  year-earlier  period.  Compensation  and  employee
benefits  accounted  for 60.1% and 56.6% of non-interest  expense
for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.
Occupancy and equipment expenses went up 18.3% or $191.8 thousand
due  to increases in computer and internet services and equipment
and software maintenance.

  Excluding   the  voluntary  contributions  to  NCB  Development
Corporation,  which was zero and $50 thousand  during  the  first
quarters of 2000 and 1999, respectively, non-interest expense  as
a percentage of average assets was 2.6% for both the three months
ended March 31, 2000 and the same period a year ago.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

 The  federal income tax provision is determined on the basis  of
non-member income generated by NCB Savings Bank, FSB and reserves
set  aside  for the retirement of Class A notes and dividends  on
Class  C  stock. NCB's subsidiaries are also subject  to  varying
levels of state taxation.  The income tax provision for the three
months  ended March 31, 2000 was $378 thousand compared with  the
prior year's provision of $324 thousand.

CASH, CASH EQUIVALENTS AND INVESTMENT SECURITIES

 Cash,  cash equivalents and investment securities totaling $86.9
million  at  March 31, 2000 increased $8.0 million or 10.2%  from
$78.9  million at year-end 1999 due to repayments  on  loans  and
leases  received at the end of March. As a percentage of  earning
assets,   cash,   cash  equivalents  and  investment   securities
decreased  to  7.6% at March 31, 2000 from 8.1% at  December  31,
1999.

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

 The  allowance  for  loan losses at March  31,  2000  was  $18.7
million,  down  slightly  by  .1% from  December  31,  1999.  The
allowance during the period was impacted by loans charged-off  of
$334.9  thousand, recoveries of loans previously  charged-off  of
$304.0  thousand  and the provision of $12.5  thousand.  Overall,
loan portfolio quality remained both strong and stable at the end
of  the  first  quarters  of  2000  and  1999.  NCB's  annualized
provision  for loan losses as a percentage of average  loans  and
leases outstanding was less than .1% for the quarter ended  March
31, 2000 and .2% for the quarter ended March 31, 1999.

 The  loan  loss allowance as a percentage of average  loans  and
leases  decreased to 1.9% at March 31, 2000 from 2.0% at December
31,  1999.  Management  considers the  current  allowance  to  be
adequate  to  absorb  known  and  inherent  risks  in  the   loan
portfolio.

 As  shown in Table 3, total impaired assets (non-accruing  loans
and  real  estate  owned) increased 6.6%  from  $3.3  million  at
December  31,  1999 to $3.5 million at March 31, 2000.   Impaired
assets as a percentage of loans and leases outstanding plus  real
estate  owned  was .33% at March 31, 2000 compared with  .34%  at
year-end 1999.  The allowance for loan losses as a percentage  of
impaired assets decreased to 536.3% at March 31, 2000 from 572.2%
at December 31, 1999.

 Interest bearing liabilities increased $102.7 million to  $981.3
million  at  March 31, 2000 from $878.5 million at  December  31,
1999.

 For  the  first  three months of 2000, deposits  at  NCB  Saving
Bank,  FSB  (NCBSB)  grew 6.5% to $134.3  million  compared  with
$126.1  million at December 31, 1999. The growth was attributable
to   local  and  national  deposit  accounts  and  deposits  from
cooperative  customers. Average maturity of the  certificates  of
deposits is 13.6 months. Funds generated by the increased deposit
activity  were used to originate single-family loans and increase
liquidity.

 At  March  31,  2000, total short-term and long-term  borrowings
(including subordinated debt) increased 12.6% or $94.5 million to
$847.0  million  in comparison to prior year-end 1999  of  $752.5
million.   Proceeds from the borrowings were used to fund  growth
in  loans  and leases. At March 31, 2000 and December  31,  1999,
NCBSB   had   advances  of  $23.0  million  and  $15.0   million,
respectively, from the Federal Home Loan Bank and NCB had  $387.1
million,  net  of discount and $268.6 million, net  of  discount,
respectively, outstanding on its short-term facilities.  At March
31,   2000,  included in the short-term borrowings were revolving
lines  of credit of $146.5 million; commercial paper with a  face
value  of $225.4 million and $16.0 million in borrowings  from  a
related  entity and cooperative customers. At December 31,  1999,
included  in  the short-term borrowings were revolving  lines  of
credit  of $79.5 million; commercial paper with a face  value  of
$172.4  million  and $17.2 million in borrowings from  a  related
entity and cooperative customers. Long-term debt decreased  11.2%
from  year-end 1999 due to a payment of $32.0 million  under  the
long-term  facilities.   At  March 31,  2000,  there  was  unused
capacity  under  the  short-term  and  long-term  facilities   of
approximately $64.6 million and $350.0 million, respectively.  At
December 31, 1999, unused capacity under the short-term and long-
term   facilities   was  $183.3  million  and   $350.0   million,
respectively.

YEAR 2000

     NCB  undertook  many actions intended  to  assure  that  its
computer  systems and other equipment were capable of functioning
in,  and  processing for, periods for the Year 2000  and  beyond.
NCB  experienced  no  operational problems as  a  result  of  the
changeover  of  the date 1999 to 2000. NCB has  not  incurred  to
date,  and  does not expect to incur in the future, any  material
expenditures  in  connection  with  identifying,  evaluating   or
remediating   Year   2000  compliance  issues.    Most   of   its
expenditures to date have related to the opportunity cost of time
spent  by  NCB's employees evaluating and remediating  Year  2000
issues  for  the  hardware and software products purchased,   the
information  technology  used in its operations  and  its  non-IT
Systems or embedded technology, such as building security,  phone
system  and  other  systems. Direct costs incurred  by  NCB  have
totaled  approximately $55,000. NCB did not incur any  Year  2000
expenses in the first quarter ended March 31, 2000.

     As  of  March 31, 2000, NCB has not experienced any material
consequences  of failure of Year 2000 compliance, either  by  the
Company,  its  suppliers,  and  customers.   However,  Year  2000
compliance has many elements and potential consequences, some  of
which  may  not  be  foreseeable or may  be  realized  in  future
periods.   Therefore,  there can be no assurance  that  unforseen
circumstances could still not arise, or that NCB will not in  the
future  identify  equipment or systems which are  not  Year  2000
compliant.


ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES  ABOUT  MARKET RISK

     No material changes in NCB's market risk profile occurred from
December 31, 1999 to March 31, 2000.
