6. Segment Reporting

   NCB's  reportable segments are strategic business units  that
provide  diverse  products  and services  within  the  financial
services  industry. NCB has five reportable segments: commercial
lending,  real estate lending, warehouse  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 and services multi-
family cooperative real  estate loans nationally, with a
concentration in New  York City.  The  warehouse lending segment
originates real estate and commercial loans for sale in the
secondary market. 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.

7. New Accounting Standards

     In June 1998,Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" was issued
effective for all fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 1999.  In June
1999, SFAS No. 137, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities - Deferral of the Effective Date of SFAS No. 133" was issued to
amend SFAS No. 133 to be effective for all fiscal years beginning after June
15, 2000.  In June 2000, SFAS No. 138,  "Accounting for Certain Derivative
Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities" was issued further amending
SFAS No. 133.  SFAS No. 133 and SFAS No. 138 establish accounting and
reporting standards requiring that every derivative instrument be recorded
in the balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its fair
value. The statements require that changes in the derivative's fair value
be recognized currently in earnings unless specific accounting criteria are
met and the hedge is considered to be highly effective.  Special accounting
for qualifying hedges allows a derivative's gains and losses to offset
related results on the hedged item in the income statement, and requires
that a company must formally document, designate, and assess the
effectiveness of transactions that receive hedge accounting.  The
statements are effective for NCB for the fiscal quarter beginning
January 1, 2001.   NCB is currently evaluating the requirements of
these statements to determine the potential impact on the consolidated
financial statements.

8. Subsequent Event

     On August 4, 2000, NCB sold $129.0 million and $14.5 million of
cooperative mortgages and commercial mortgages, respectively, into a $1.1
billion conduit transaction.  The gain on these sales will be reflected in
the third quarter results.



                    NATIONAL COOPERATIVE BANK
              MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
         FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 AND 1999


SUMMARY

   NCB's net income for the six months ended June 30, 2000 was $3.5
million. This was a 53.2% or $3.9 million decrease compared with
$7.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999. The variance resulted
from a decrease of $4.7 million in non-interest income and increases in
non-interest  expense and taxes of $147.8 thousand and $77.9 thousand,
respectively. This was partially offset by an increase in netinterest
income of $600.6 thousand and a decrease of $393.3 thousand in provision for
loan losses. For the three month period ending June 30, 2000, net income
decreased $3.3 million or 62.6% due primarily to a decrease in non-interest
income.

   Total assets were $1.19 billion at June 30, 2000, up 12.8% or $135.1
million from $1.06 billion at December 31, 1999. This resulted from an
increase in loans held for sale and loans and lease financing of $144.2
million partially offset by a decrease in cash and cash equivalents,
restricted cash, investment securities and other assets of $8.7 million.

   The annualized return on average total assets was .61% for the first
six months of 2000 compared with 1.48% for the same period in 1999. The
annualized return on average equity for the periods ended June 30, 2000
and 1999 was 4.67% and 10.38%, respectively.

NET INTEREST INCOME

   Net interest income for the first six months of 2000 was $15.4 million,
an increase of 4.1% or $600.6 thousand compared with $14.8 million over
the same period a year ago.

   For the six months ending June 30, 2000, interest income increased 20.0%
or $7.7 million to $45.8 million from $38.1 million of the prior year's
period. The majority of the increase was due to the growth of commercial
loan and lease portfolios and a higher yield on real estate loans and cash
equivalents and investment securities.  Table 2 shows that increases of
$6.4 million and $1.2 million were volume and yield related, respectively.

   Interest expense increased $7.1 million to $30.4 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2000 compared with $23.3 million for the six months
ended June 30, 1999.  Interest expense was up as a result of higher levels
of notes payable and deposits and higher interest rates on them. The
increased borrowings were required to fund loan volume.  As shown on Table 2,
a $4.3 million increase in interest expense was volume related while a $2.8
million increase was due to interest rates.

   For the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, the average rate on
interest earning assets was 8.28% and 7.92%, respectively. Average rate on
interest bearing liabilities was up 68 basis points to 6.40% for the first
half of 2000 compared with 5.72% for the same period in 1999.

   For the three month period ended June 30, 2000, net interest income went
up 9.7% or $694.6 thousand from the same period in 1999.

   Interest income went up $4.3 million to $24.0 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2000 compared with $19.6 million for the same period
ended June 30, 1999. The increase in interest income was due to a higher
average balance of interest earning assets.

   For the second quarter ended June 30, 2000, interest expense increased
29.1% or $3.6 million to $16.1 million compared with $12.5 million for the
second quarter ended June 30, 1999 due to higher short-term interest rates
and increased funding of loans.  As shown on Table 2A, the increase in
interest expense amounting to $2.5 million was volume related while $1.1
million was yield related.

   For the quarter ended June 30, 2000, the average rate on interest earning
assets was up 28 basis points to 8.34% from 8.06% for the same quarter ended
June 30, 1999.  Average rate on interest bearing liabilities was 6.51% and
5.96% for the periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively.


NON-INTEREST INCOME

   Non-interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2000 of $2.9
million decreased 61.7% or $4.8 million from $7.7 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 and advisory
and debt placement fees.

   For the six months ended June 30, 2000, gain on sale of loans was
$233.0 thousand compared with $3.8 million in the same period last year.
The decrease resulted from the timing and volume of loans sold. Total loans
sold were $55.8 million and $161.1 million for the periods ended June 30,
2000 and 1999, respectively.

   Servicing fee income for the six months ended June 30, 2000 increased
9.7% or $128.2 thousand to $1.45 million compared to $1.32 million in the
prior  year.  NCB serviced single and multi-family real estate and commercial
loans for investors in the amounts of $2.1 billion and $1.9 billion as of
June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

   Other non-interest income for the six months ended June  30, 2000 was
down 51.4% or $1.3 million from $2.6 million for the same six months in the
prior year. Commercial loan fees and income of interest-only receivables were
lower for the first six months of 2000 by $450.5 thousand and $236.0 thousand,
respectively, compared with the same period of the prior year. Additionally,
in the first six months of 1999, NCB received $389.8 thousand as
reimbursement for expenses incurred in the sale of a real estate note.

   For the three month period ending June 30, 2000, non-interest income
decreased 74.9% or $4.5 million to $1.5 million from $6.0 million for the
same period in 1999.  Decreases amounting to $3.5 million was related to
secondary marketing activities and $1.1 million was due to lower commercial
fees and miscellaneous income received and lower income on interest-only
receivables.


NON-INTEREST EXPENSE

   Non-interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2000 increased
1.1% or $147.8 thousand to $13.6 million compared with $13.5 million for
the six months ended June 30, 1999. Compensation and benefits, the largest
component of non-interest expense, slightly increased .12% or $8.9 thousand.
Contractual services, occupancy and equipment, and other expenses increased
5.9% or $338.9 thousand primarily due to equipment and technology costs,
corporate and marketing development, legal fees and other loan costs.

   Excluding the voluntary contributions to NCB Development Corporation,
which was zero and $200.0 thousand during the first two quarters of 2000
and 1999, respectively, non-interest expense as a percentage of average
assets decreased to 1.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2000 compared
with 1.3% for the same period a year ago.

   For the three months ended June 30, 2000, non-interest expense decreased
7.7% or $543.2 thousand to $6.5 million from $7.1 million for the same period
in 1999.  The variance was primarily due to a decrease in compensation and
employee benefits of $630.4 thousand which was partially offset by an
increase in contractual services of $195.1 thousand.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

  The  federal income tax provision is determined on the basis  of
non-member  income generated by NCB Savings Bank, FSB(NCBSB)  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  six  months  ended June 30, 2000  was  $805.4  thousand
compared with the prior year's provision of $727.6 thousand.

  Cash,  cash equivalents and investment securities totaling $75.9
million  at  June 30, 2000 decreased $3.0 million  or  3.9%  from
$78.9  million at year-end 1999.  The decrease was due mostly  to
the  funding  of loans and lease financing.  As a  percentage  of
earning  assets, cash, cash equivalents and investment securities
decreased  to  6.5% at June 30, 2000 from 8.1%  at  December  31,
1999.

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

  The  allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2000 increased  2.03%
or  $378.9  thousand  to  $19.1 million  from  $18.7  million  at
December  31, 1999. The allowance during the period was  impacted
by  loans charged-off amounting to $480.4 thousand, recoveries of
loans previously charged-off of $417.6 thousand and the provision
of $441.7 thousand. NCB's annualized provision for loan losses as
a percentage of average loans and leases outstanding remained at
 .02% and .2% for the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999,
respectively.

  Criticized loans have grown to $42.4 million or 7.8% at June 30,
2000 from 4.3% of the total loans outstanding at December 31, 1999.
The growth in criticized loans came primarily from a package of
retail member loans purchased from a wholesale food cooperative and
declining financial condition of a national hardware wholesaler.

  The  loan  loss  allowance as a percentage of loans  and  leases
decreased  to  1.9% at June 30, 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) decreased 74.5% from  $3.3  million  at
December  31, 1999 to $832.0 thousand at June 30, 2000.  Impaired
assets as a percentage of loans and leases outstanding plus  real
estate  owned  decreased to .08% at June 30, 2000  compared  with
 .34%  at  year-end  1999.  The allowance for  loan  losses  as  a
percentage of impaired assets increased to 2,292.4% at  June  30,
2000 from 572.2% at December 31, 1999.

  Interest  bearing liabilities increased $128.2 million  to  $1.0
billion  at  June  30, 2000 from $878.5 million at  December  31,
1999.

  For the six months of 2000, deposits at NCBSB grew 13.0% to
$142.5 million compared with $126.1 million at December 31, 1999.
The growth was due to local and national depositors and deposits
from cooperatives customers. Average maturity of the certificates
of deposits  is 12.4 months. Funds generated by the increased
deposit activity were used to originate single-family loans and
increase liquidity.

  At  June  30,  2000,  total short-term and long-term  borrowings
(including  subordinated debt) increased 14.9% or $111.8  million
to  $864.2 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 June 30, 2000, and December 31, 1999, NCBSB
had  advances  of $29.0 million and $15.0 million,  respectively,
from  the Federal Home Loan Bank. NCB had $348.6 million,  net
of  discount  and $268.6 million, net of discount outstanding on
its short-term facilities at June 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999,
respectively.  At  June  30,  2000, included  in  the short-term
borrowings were revolving  lines  of credit  of $90.5 million;
commercial paper with a face  value  of $245.2  million  and
$13.5 million in borrowing  from  a  related entity  and
cooperative customers. At December 31, 1999, included in  the
short-term borrowing were revolving lines of  credit  of $79.5
million; commercial paper with face value of $172.4 million
and  $17.2  million  in  borrowings from  a  related  entity  and
cooperative customers. Long-term debt increased 6.2%  from  year-
end  1999  due to the issuance of an additional $50.0 million  in
medium  term  notes, net of a maturity payment of  $32.0  million
under  the  long-term  facilities. At June 30,  2000,  there  was
unused  capacity  under  short-term and long-term  facilities  of
approximately $88.3 million and $300.0 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 six months ended June 30, 2000.

   As  of  June 30, 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 June 30, 2000.
