Note 3:

     In the normal course of business, there are outstanding
commitments and contingent liabilities which are not reflected in
the accompanying financial statements.  At March 31, 1996, the Bank
had commitments outstanding to originate mortgage loans of
approximately $46,779,000, all of which will be secured by multi-
family residential properties.  In addition, unused lines of credit
approximated $178,000 at March 31, 1996.  Loans serviced by the
Bank for the benefit of others totaled approximately $51,115,000 at
March 31, 1996, all of which are on a non-recourse basis.  In June,
1995, the Bank renewed an overnight line of credit with the Federal
Home Loan Bank of New York ("FHLBNY") in the amount of $26,313,600,
which 
PAGE
<PAGE>
expires in June, 1996.  The Bank utilizes the line of credit as is
necessary to meet temporary cash needs and expects to renew the
line of credit come June, 1996.  As of March 31, 1996, the balance
outstanding on the line of credit was $-0-.

Note 4:

     In the first quarter of fiscal 1996, the Company adopted
Statement of Financial Standards ("SFAS") No. 114 "Accounting by
Creditors for Impairment of a Loan".  SFAS 114 generally requires
all creditors to account for impaired loans, with the exception of
those loans that are accounted for at fair value or at a lower of
cost or fair value, at the present value of the expected future
cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate.

     Also in the first quarter of fiscal 1996, the Company adopted
SFAS No. 118 "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan -
Income Recognition and Disclosures".  SFAS 118 amends SFAS 114 to
permit creditors to use existing methods for recording interest
income by eliminating the income recognition provisions of SFAS
114.  Creditors may continue to use a cost recovery or cash basis
method (or some combination of both) to account for interest income
on impaired loans.

     SFAS No. 114 also provides that in-substance foreclosed loans
should not be included in Real Estate Owned but in the loan
portfolio for financial reporting purposes.  Accordingly, $479,000
of in-substance foreclosed loans at September 30, 1995 were
reclassified from Real Estate Owned to First Mortgage and Other
Loans.

     Under SFAS No. 114, a loan is considered impaired when, based
on current information, it is probable that the borrower will be
unable to pay contractual interest or principal payments as
scheduled in the loan agreement.  The Company's impaired loans are
those nonconsumer loans currently reported as nonaccrual.  Impaired
loans for which the discounted cash flows, collateral value or
market price exceeds the carrying value of the loan do not require
an allowance under SFAS No. 114.  The allowance for impaired loans
for which the discounted cash flows, collateral value or market
price is less than the carrying value of the loan is included in
the Company's overall allowance for credit losses.  The Company
recognizes interest income on these loans to the extent received in
cash.

     The following table sets forth impaired loan disclosures (in
thousands) as of and for the six months ended March 31, 1996:

                BFS Bankorp, Inc. & Subsidiaries
            Management's Discussion and Analysis of
         Financial Condition and Results of Operations

General

     BFS Bankorp, Inc., a Delaware business corporation, is a
holding company whose principal subsidiary is Bankers Federal
Savings FSB.  The Bank is a federally-chartered savings bank,
headquartered in New York City, New York and is insured by the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") through the Savings
Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF").  The Company was organized at
the direction of the Bank in connection with the Bank's conversion
from mutual to stock form of organization on May 11, 1988.

     The primary activity of the Company at this time is its
ownership of all outstanding capital stock of the Bank.  The Bank
is principally engaged in the business of originating multi-family
residential first mortgage loans and funding said loans by
attracting retail deposits from the general public.   At its
discretion, the Bank may borrow funds from the FHLBNY as a source
of funds in lieu of or in addition to savings growth.  The Bank
maintains a portion of its assets in investment securities
including, but not limited to, US Government and agency securities,
mortgage-backed securities and federal funds.

Financial Condition

     The Company's total assets increased by $11.3 million to
$566.5 million at March 31, 1996 from $555.2 million at September
30, 1995.  The Company's total stockholders' equity increased by
$5.3 million to $46.1 million at March 31, 1996 from $40.8 million
at September 30, 1995.  This increase is primarily the result of
the net income recorded by the Company during the six month period
ended March 31, 1996.  Origination of first mortgage loans totaled
$74.6 million and $7.7 million of single family mortgage loans were
sold.  The funding for these new origination's came primarily from
a decrease of $9.0 million in Fed funds and the cash inflows
associated with the repayments on loans and mortgage-backed
securities, and increased mortgagors' escrow payments.

     Non-performing assets decreased to $8.4 million, or 1.48% of
total assets at March 31, 1996, as compared to $13.7 million, or
2.46% of total assets at September 30, 1995.  Loans 90 or more days
delinquent decreased to $7.8 million or 1.51% of total loans at
March 31, 1996 as compared to $13.3 million and 2.69% of total
loans at September 30, 1995.  Non-performing assets continue to
decline through individual sales of real estate owned, resolutions
of previously non-performing assets and minimal new non-performing
assets.  

     The following tables illustrate the segregation of the amount
of non-performing assets (in thousands) by property type at the
dates indicated:

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Bank is required to maintain an average daily balance of liquid
assets (cash, certain time deposits, bankers' acceptances,
specified United States Government, state or federal agency
obligations, shares of certain mutual funds and certain corporate
debt securities and commercial paper) equal to a monthly average of
not less than a specified percentage of its net withdrawable
deposit accounts plus short term borrowings.  This liquidity
PAGE
<PAGE>
requirement, which is currently 5%, may be changed from time to
time by the Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS") to any amount
within the range of 4% to 10%, depending upon economic conditions
and the savings flow of member institutions.  OTS regulations also
require each member savings institution to maintain an average
daily balance of short term liquid assets at a specified percentage
(currently 1%) of the total of its net withdrawable deposit
accounts and borrowings payable in one year or less.  Monetary
penalties may be imposed for failure to meet these liquidity
requirements.  The liquidity of the Bank at March 31, 1996 was
7.86%, which exceeded the then applicable 5% liquidity requirement. 
The Bank's short term liquidity ratio at March 31, 1996 was 5.92%.

     The OTS requires the Bank to maintain minimum capital
applicable to three categories as defined in the Financial
Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989
("FIRREA").  The three categories are: (1) tangible capital, which
is required to be no less than 1.5% of total assets; (2) core or
leverage capital, which is required to be no less than 3% of total
assets; and (3) risk-based capital, which is required to be no less
than 8% of risk-weighted assets.  In April, 1991, the OTS proposed
raising its core or leverage capital requirement such that all but
the highest rated institutions would have a requirement of between
4% and 5% of total assets.  The implementation of this proposal
could increase the Bank's core or leverage capital requirement.  In
July, 1992, the OTS announced its revised interest rate risk
regulation, which it has adopted and expects to implement shortly. 
The regulation requires thrifts with "above normal" interest rate
risk (measured as a loss of economic value that exceeds 2 percent
of an institutions assets under a hypothetical 200 basis point
shock in interest rates) to hold capital in an amount equal to half
the difference between measured risk and 2 percent, times the
requirement.  Management's measurement of this risk on the Bank
indicates that no additional capital would have been required at
the last measurement date.

     The following table depicts the Bank's regulatory capital for
the periods indicated:

     In September, 1992, the OTS, jointly with the other Bank
Regulatory agencies, issued regulations implementing the prompt
correction provisions of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
Improvement Act of 1991 ("FDICIA").  The regulations define three
categories of capital that institutions will be measured against:
(1) a risk-based capital ratio which is the ratio of risk-based
capital to risk-weighted assets; (2) a Tier 1 capital ratio which
is the ratio of Tier 1 or core capital to risk-weighted assets; and
(3) a leverage capital ratio which is the ratio of core capital to
adjusted total assets.  An institution will be deemed well
capitalized if its risk-based capital ratio is 10% or more, its
Tier 1 capital is 6% or more, and its leverage capital is 5% or
PAGE
<PAGE>
more and it is not subject to an OTS Order or Directive to meet and
maintain any other capital level.       An institution will be
deemed adequately capitalized if its risk-based capital ratio is
not less than 8%, its Tier 1 capital is not less than 4%, and its
leverage capital is not less than 4%.  Any institution with capital
levels lower than these would be deemed to be undercapitalized.  An
institution is deemed significantly undercapitalized if its risk-
based capital ratio is less than 6% or its Tier 1 capital ratio is
less than 3%.  An institution is deemed critically undercapitalized
if its Tier 1 capital ratio is less than 2%.  Based upon this
criteria, the Bank would be deemed to be well capitalized at March
31, 1996.

     The FDIC Board has reduced the insurance premium assessed on
deposits insured by the Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF").  The FDIC
reduced the BIF premiums from a range of 23 to 31 basis points,
which is the range of premiums currently paid on deposits insured
by the SAIF, to a range of 0 to 31 basis points.  The FDIC
estimated that in excess of 90% of banks whose deposits are insured
through the BIF would be assessed at the lowest premium rate.  Due
to the reserve levels of the SAIF, the FDIC  has not proposed a
reduction in the SAIF insurance premiums and it is not expected
that, absent legislative developments, the insurance premiums
assessed on SAIF deposits could be reduced until the end of the
decade.  The deposits held by the Bank are insured through the SAIF
and, although the Bank currently pays the lowest premium assessed
on SAIF deposits, the reduction in BIF premiums, without a similar
reduction in SAIF premiums, places the Bank at a competitive
disadvantage since BIF insured institutions can either: (1) pass
through to depositors in the form of higher rates the reduction in
deposit premiums, which would cause the Bank to increase rates on
its deposits without an offsetting reduction in premium expense;
(2) increase BIF insured institutions profitability, which may not
be available to the Bank; or (3) a combination of both.  Management
continues to monitor the situation and is working with the various
trade associations the Bank is affiliated with to achieve equality
in the insurance premium assessment.

     Legislation has been proposed in Congress to recapitalize the
SAIF fund and possibly consolidate the BIF and SAIF funds.  One
feature of this proposal calls for a special one-time assessment on
all SAIF- insured institutions of up to 80 basis points to bring
the SAIF fund up to its required level of capitalization.  It is
assumed that after this assessment takes place, that the on-going
level of insurance premium assessments for the SAIF-insured
institutions would be reduced to the same range as the BIF-insured
institutions.  Based upon the Bank's deposit base at March 31,
1996, the special assessment could cause a charge to earnings of
approximately $3.1 million, while a reduction in the insurance
premium assessment rate from 23 basis points to 4 basis points
would reduce annual premium expenses by approximately $.7 million. 
It is not known at this time when and if this legislation will be
approved and implemented.

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 1996 and
1995

     Net income for the three months ended March 31, 1996 was
$2,978,000 as compared to $1,705,000 for the same quarter in 1995. 
Increased volume of new multi-family originations, lower non-
performing assets, improved margins and increased gains on sale of
REO were the primary reasons for the $1,273,000 or 74.7%
improvement.  The following is a detailed analysis of the
components of net income for this period.
PAGE
<PAGE>
Interest Income

     Total interest income for the quarter ended March 31, 1996
increased by $2,208,000, or 19.6% to $13,454,000 as compared to
$11,246,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1996.  Average interest
earning assets increased by $49,797,000 to $558,046,000 and the
yield on these assets increased by 41 basis points to 9.26% for the
period ended March 31, 1996 as compared to $508,249,000 and 8.85%
for the same quarter in 1995.  The increase was primarily due to
increased multi-family mortgage originations at favorable interest
rates and lower non-performing assets.

     Interest income on first mortgage and other loans increased by
$4,648,000, or 57.7% to $12,699,000 for the quarter ended March 31,
1996 as compared to $8,051,000 for the same quarter in 1995.  The
average balance of first mortgage and other loans increased by
$154,953,000 to $508,234,000 and the yield increased by 46 basis
points to 9.57% as compared to $353,281,000 and 9.12% for the same
quarter in 1995.  The current quarter increase was primarily the
result of the increased lending activity over the past four
quarters at attractive interest rates and the dissolution of the
multi-family mortgage-backed securities in June, 1995.  Included in
interest income but excluded from the yield calculation, were
interest recoveries of approximately $252,000 and accelerated
discounts of approximately $286,000.  The interest items were
previously reserved due to the delinquent status of the loans that
they were associated with.  The accelerated discounts were
associated with the high level of prepayments that the Bank
experienced during the quarter.

     Interest income on mortgage-backed securities decreased by
$2,424,000, or 89.3% to $290,000 for the quarter ended March 31,
1996 as compared to $2,714,000 for the same quarter in 1995. 
Amortization, prepayments and the dissolution of approximately
$102,711,000 of mortgage-backed securities in June, 1995 decreased
the average balance by $107,220,000 to $15,975,000 and the yield
decreased to 7.26% as compared to $123,195,000 and 8.81% for the
same quarter in 1995.

     Interest income on investment securities decreased by $24,000,
or 6.5% to $348,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 as
compared to $372,000 for the same quarter in 1995.  While the
average balance increased by $526,000 to $24,815,000 for the
current quarter as compared to $24,289,000 for the same quarter in
1995, the lower interest rate environment over the past twelve
months decreased the average yield by 52 basis points to 5.61% from
6.13%.  

     Interest income on federal funds increased by $8,000, or 7.3%
to $117,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 as compared to
$109,000 for the same quarter in 1995.  The primary reason for the
increase was a 20.6% increase in the average balance during the
current quarter offset by a decrease in the average yield of 70
basis points to 5.13% for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 as
compared to 5.83% for the same quarter in 1995.  The increase in
the average balance was in anticipation of additional multi-family
mortgage originations.

Interest Expense

     Total interest expense increased by $893,000, or 17.2% to
$6,099,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 as compared to
$5,206,000 for the same quarter in 1995.  The increase was
primarily the result of an increase in average interest bearing
liabilities of $38,305,000 to 
PAGE
<PAGE>
$497,015,000 from $458,710,000 and an increase in the average cost
of funds of 33 basis points to 4.93% from 4.60% for the quarter
ended March 31, 1996 as compared to the same quarter in 1995.  The
increase occurred as part of the funding mechanism for the
increased mortgage originations which took place during the past
four quarters.

     Interest expense on deposits increased by $730,000, or 22.2%
to $4,026,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 as compared to
$3,296,000 for the same quarter in 1995.  The primary reasons for
the increase were higher interest rates and a shift in balances
towards certificates of deposits over the past four quarters.  The
average cost of deposits increased by 48 basis points to 4.19% for
the quarter ended March 31, 1996 as compared to 3.70% for the same
quarter in 1995.

     Interest expense on borrowed funds increased by $210,000, or
14.1% to $1,696,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 as
compared to $1,486,000 for the same quarter in 1995.  The primary
reason for the increase was an increase in the average balance of
borrowed funds of $16,101,000 to $95,933,000 for the quarter ended
March 31, 1996 as compared to $79,832,000 for the same quarter in
1995.  The increase in volume was offset by a decline in the
average cost of borrowed funds which dropped by 44 basis points to
7.11% as compared to 7.55%.  This decrease in the average cost of
borrowed funds was primarily the result of higher rate borrowings
that matured during the past four quarters and were replaced by
lower rate borrowings.

     Interest expense on CMO's declined by $47,000, or 11.1% to
$377,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 as compared to
$424,000 for the same quarter in 1995.  The decrease was primarily
the result of a $3,792,000 decrease in the average balance of this
category due to principal reductions of the debt obligation.  This
decrease is expected to continue as the average balance declines
and the Bank currently has no intention of issuing any new CMO's.

Net Interest Income

     Net interest income increased by $1,315,000, or 21.8% to
$7,355,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 as compared to
$6,040,000 for the same quarter in 1995.  The increase is the
result of the net changes to each of the interest income and
interest expense generating categories as previously discussed. 
The Bank's interest spread increased by 8 basis points to 4.33% for
the quarter ended March 31, 1996 as compared to 4.25% for the same
quarter in 1995 while the interest margin increased by 17 basis
points to 4.87% as compared to 4.70%.  The ratio of average
interest earning assets to average interest bearing liabilities
increased to 112.3% for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 as
compared to 110.8% for the same quarter in 1995.

Provision for Loan Losses

     The provision for loan losses decreased by $31,000 to $-0- for
the quarter ended March 31, 1996 as compared to $31,000 for the
same quarter in 1995.   The zero provision quarter was predicated
upon the continuing trend of decreased delinquencies and the
adequate level of allowances as determined during the quarter end
review.  The amount of loans delinquent 90 days or more has
continued to decline as illustrated in the following table:

</TABLE>

     The decline has been a result of completed foreclosures, loan
workouts and minimal new delinquencies in addition to a
stabilization in property values due to an improving local real
estate market.  While this trend is positive for the Bank, it
should be noted that the type of lending (multi-family residential)
that the Bank has done and intends to do in the future involves
larger loans and higher concentration risk and any downturn in the
real estate market or non-payment on a large loan could cause this
trend to reverse.

Other Income

     Other income increased by $888,000, or 132.9% to $1,556,000
for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 as compared to $668,000 for
the same quarter in 1995.  The primary reason for the increase is
an increase in the net gain on sale of assets in the current
quarter due to the sale of several REO properties at prices in
excess of the recorded book value.

Other Expenses

     Other expenses increased by $89,000, or 2.6% to $3,477,000 for
the quarter ended March 31, 1996 as compared to $3,388,000 for the
same quarter in 1995.  Compensation and benefits increased by
$119,000 or 6.8%, primarily as a result of staff and merit
increases.  Marketing, professional fees and services increased by
$180,000 or 79.7%, primarily as a result of an increased provision
for expected legal fees related to past foreclosures and increased
marketing expenses.  These increases were offset by a zero
provision for real estate losses and net income from REO
operations.

Income Taxes

     Provision for income taxes increased by $872,000 to $2,456,000
for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 as compared to $1,584,000 for
the same quarter in 1995 as a result of higher income before
provision for income tax expense offset by the permanent benefit
gained from the utilization of the percentage of taxable income
method for the bad debt deductions in the calculation of state and
local income taxes.  Legislation is currently pending at the
Federal level which would eliminate utilizing the percentage of
taxable income method of bad debt reserves in future years; cause
no recapture of pre-1988 bad debt reserves; and cause the recapture
of post-1987 bad debt reserves over a six year period.  In the
absence of any state legislation to the contrary, the passage of
the federal legislation would also cause a recapture through
expense for previous permanent differences related to bad debt
deductions taken at the state and local levels.  This federal
legislation is tied to the health insurance bill, the timing of the
passage of which is uncertain at the present time.  Management
continues to monitor the situation at the federal and state levels
through its' trade association to ensure a fair resolution of this
issue.

Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended March 31, 1996 and
1995

     Net income for the six months ended March 31, 1996 was
$5,257,000 as compared to $3,142,000 for the same period in 1995. 
Increased volume of new multi-family originations, lower non-
performing assets, improved margins and increased gains on sale of
REO were the primary reasons for the $2,115,000 or 67.3%
improvement.  The following is a detailed analysis of the
components of net income for this period.

Interest Income

     Total interest income for the six month period ended March 31,
1996 increased by $4,773,000, or 22.1% to $26,395,000 as compared
to $21,622,000 for the six month period ended March 31, 1996. 
Average interest earning assets increased by $57,323,000 to
$556,569,000 and the yield on these assets increased by 63 basis
points to 9.29% for the six month period ended March 31, 1996 as
compared to $499,246,000 and 8.66% for the same period in 1995. 
The increase was primarily due to increased multi-family mortgage
originations at favorable interest rates and lower non-performing
assets.

     Interest income on first mortgage and other loans increased by
$9,372,000, or 60.7% to $24,813,000 for the six month period ended
March 31, 1996 as compared to $15,441,000 for the same period in
1995.  The average balance of first mortgage and other loans
increased by $161,381,000 to $505,653,000 and the yield increased
by 63 basis points to 9.60% as compared to $344,272,000 and 8.97%
for the same period in 1995.  The current period increase was
primarily the result of the increased lending activity over the
past four quarters at attractive interest rates and the dissolution
of the multi-family mortgage-backed securities in June, 1995. 
Included in interest income but excluded from the yield
calculation, were interest recoveries of approximately $252,000 and
accelerated discounts of approximately $286,000.  The interest
items were previously reserved due to the delinquent status of the
loans that they were associated with.  The accelerated discounts
were associated with the high level of prepayments that the Bank
experienced during the second fiscal quarter.

     Interest income on mortgage-backed securities decreased by
$4,714,000, or 88.8% to $592,000 for the six month period ended
March 31, 1996 as compared to $5,306,000 for the same period in
1995.  Amortization, prepayments and the dissolution of
approximately $102,711,000 of mortgage-backed securities in June,
1995 decreased the average balance by $106,714,000 to $16,376,000
and the yield decreased to 7.23% as compared to $123,090,000 and
8.62% for the same period in 1995.

     Interest income on investment securities increased by $28,000,
or 4.2% to $689,000 for the six month period ended March 31, 1996
as compared to $661,000 for the same period in 1995.   

     Interest income on federal funds increased by $87,000, or
40.7% to $301,000 for the six month period ended March 31, 1996 as
compared to $214,000 for the same period in 1995.  The primary
reason for the increase was a 41.2% increase in the average balance
during the current period.   The increase in the average balance
was in anticipation of additional multi-family mortgage
originations.
<PAGE>

<PAGE>
Interest Expense

     Total interest expense increased by $2,284,000, or 22.9% to
$12,262,000 for the six month period ended March 31, 1996 as
compared to $9,978,000 for the same period in 1995.  The increase
was primarily the result of an increase in average interest bearing
liabilities of $48,502,000 to $496,337,000 from $447,835,000 and an
increase in the average cost of funds of 47 basis points to 4.94%
from 4.47% for the six month period ended March 31, 1996 as
compared to the same period in 1995.  The increase occurred as part
of the funding mechanism for the increased mortgage originations
which took place during the past four quarters.

     Interest expense on deposits increased by $1,669,000, or 26.0%
to $8,097,000 for the six month period ended March 31, 1996 as
compared to $6,428,000 for the same period in 1995.  The primary
reasons for the increase were higher interest rates and a shift in
balances towards certificates of deposits over the past four
quarters.  The average cost of deposits increased by 58 basis
points to 4.19% for the six month period ended March 31, 1996 as
compared to 3.61% for the same period in 1995.

     Interest expense on borrowed funds increased by $707,000, or
26.3% to $3,394,000 for the six month period ended March 31, 1996
as compared to $2,687,000 for the same period in 1995.  The primary
reason for the increase was an increase in the average balance of
borrowed funds of $23,269,000 to $95,267,000 for the six month
period ended March 31, 1996 as compared to $71,998,000 for the same
period in 1995.  The increase in volume was offset by a decline in
the average cost of borrowed funds which dropped by 36 basis points
to 7.13% as compared to 7.48%.  This decrease in the average cost
of borrowed funds was primarily the result of higher rate
borrowings that matured during the past four quarters and were
replaced by lower rate borrowings.

     Interest expense on CMO's declined by $92,000, or 10.7% to
$771,000 for the six month period ended March 31, 1996 as compared
to $863,000 for the same period in 1995.  The decrease was
primarily the result of a $3,773,000 decrease in the average
balance of this category due to principal reductions of the debt
obligation.  This decrease is expected to continue as the average
balance declines and the Bank currently has no intention of issuing
any new CMO's.

Net Interest Income

     Net interest income increased by $2,489,000, or 21.4% to
$14,133,000 for the six month period ended March 31, 1996 as
compared to $11,644,000 for the same period in 1995.  The increase
is the result of the net changes to each of the interest income and
interest expense generating categories as previously discussed. 
The Bank's interest spread increased by 16 basis points to 4.35%
for the six month period ended March 31, 1996 as compared to 4.19%
for the same period in 1995 while the interest margin increased by
24 basis points to 4.89% as compared to 4.65%.  The ratio of

Provision for Loan Losses

     The provision for loan losses decreased by $204,000 to $-0-
for the six month period ended March 31, 1996 as compared to
$204,000 for the same period in 1995.   The zero provision for the
first six months of the fiscal year  was predicated upon the
continuing trend of decreased delinquencies and the adequate level
of allowances as determined during the quarter end review.  The
amount of loans delinquent 90 days or more has continued to decline
as illustrated in the following table:

     The decline has been a result of completed foreclosures, loan
workouts and minimal new delinquencies in addition to a
stabilization in property values due to an improving local real
estate market.  While this trend is positive for the Bank, it
should be noted that the type of lending (multi-family residential)
that the Bank has done and intends to do in the future involves
larger loans and higher concentration risk and any downturn in the
real estate market or non-payment on a large loan could cause this
trend to reverse.

Other Income

     Other income increased by $1,014,000, or 95.4% to $2,077,000
for the six month period ended March 31, 1996 as compared to
$1,063,000 for the same period in 1995.  The primary reason for the
increase is an increase in the gain on sale of assets, net in the
current period due to the sale of several REO properties at prices
in excess of the recorded book value.

Other Expenses

     Other expenses increased by $317,000, or 4.9% to $6,752,000
for the six month period ended March 31, 1996 as compared to
$6,435,000 for the same period in 1995.  Compensation and benefits
increased by $244,000 or 7.3%, primarily as a result of staff and
merit increases.  Marketing, professional fees and services
increased by $209,000 or 47.0%, primarily as a result of an
increased provision for expected legal fees related to past
foreclosures and increased marketing expenses.  These increases
were offset by a zero provision for real estate losses and net
income from REO operations.

Income Taxes

     Provision for income taxes increased by $1,275,000 to
$4,201,000 for the six month period ended March 31, 1996 as
compared to $2,926,000 for the same period in 1995 as a result of
higher income before provision for income tax expense offset by the
permanent benefit gained from the utilization of the percentage of
taxable income method for the bad debt deductions in the
calculation of state and local income taxes. Legislation is
currently pending at the Federal level which would eliminate
utilizing the percentage of taxable income method of

bad debt reserves in future years; cause no recapture of pre-1988
bad debt reserves; and cause the recapture of post-1987 bad debt
reserves over a six year period.  In the absence of any state
legislation to the contrary, the passage of the federal legislation
would also cause a recapture through expense for previous permanent
differences related to bad debt deductions taken at the state and
local levels.  This federal legislation is tied to the health
insurance bill, the timing of the passage of which is uncertain at
the present time.  Management continues to monitor the situation at
the federal and state levels through its' trade association to
ensure a fair resolution of this issue.
